Sick and tired of watching rubbish on Spanish TV, I have recently purchased a satellite receiver. I didn't want to subscribe to any pre-paid channels, and instead decided to explore what was out there for free. From Southern Spain there are several satellites you can point your dish at, but I was advised to choose Astra 19, because of its larger offer of available free channels. Well, that much is true, but what the technician didn't tell me is that over half of them are German. The reason being that in Germany, by law, even local TV stations must broadcast its signal in digital, suitable for carrying it outspace (a very intelligent initiative, indeed).
And so, I started to explore the universe of free satellite TV. On a first scan I got over 300+ channels, but after a filtering that took days, I settled for less than 20 (CBS, CNN, MTV, Lonely Planet, a few Spanish local stations, and an assorted lot that included RAI, TV5, Euronews, Eurosport, etc.). Out of more than 150 German channels, I ended up bookmarking only one that run mostly English, French and German nature documentaries, plus another few that aired sex-oriented late-night "shows?". Two weeks later I accidentally erased the memory of the receiver and had to start all over again. It was a painful exercise having to waddle again through all those uninspiring products of German mentality.
Naturally, I can't speak any German, mostly because I never had any need to, never been to Germany or Austria (neither I intend to in a foreseeable future), and besides, life's too short to learn a language that is so slipshod and systemless ("Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache"). And they all speak good English, anyway.
Nonetheless, I've met literally hundreds of German nationals, although you can count with the fingers of one hand the ones that I would call friends. As soon as you start traveling around the world, you'll come to realize that they're unavoidable. They are everywhere, usually in groups, and even though they appear to be very well-informed and do take a genuine interest in learning the local language and culture, they're not really interested in interacting. They'd rather take the researcher's attitude, studying the specimen and its habitat from a safe distance, always comparing it to what they've got back home, constantly pointing out whatever doesn't fare well.
As I write this post, Canal2 Andalucia is gifting its audience with Baghdad Cafe, starring Marianne Sagebrecht, and I have to admit that I like her. A lot.
But back to German-style porn TV. No need to master the language to get the message. Same explicit ads, repeated over-and-over-again in series of 4 or 5, featuring some unbearable ugly characters, that produced in me the opposite effect of a turn-on.
One of them ads specially dazzled me: A disgusting blonde, legs wide open to the camera, with only one of those pamelas topped with artificial flowers for an outfit, sticks out her tongue as if she was at the practitioners' being checked for malaises. Red letters "strategically" positioned covering the patient's private lower parts, repeatedly flash the word ROMANTIK.
Well, maybe I've just got it wrong during all these years, but I have always believed "Romantic" meant a different thing.
I dare not to guess what their idea of dirty sex would be then.

The Delta: On the Sacramento River, striper trollers are working Rio Vista Bridge, the Old Dairy, Decker Island and Broad Slough. The best lures are Rebels, Bombers and Yozuris.
Bait fishermen are using shad and sardines. Fish are running from 6 to 12 pounds, with an occasional fish in the high teens.
Salmon fishing is very good. Trollers are still working the mouth of the Old Sacramento to Steamboat Slough and the Isleton area all the way to Walnut Grove. Most fish are running from 12-30 pounds. Both trolling and jigging are doing real good.
Silverton's, Blue Foxes, Daigre QMS, Scarey Lures, Brad's Cut Plugs with Anchovie or Bloody Tuna scents are all favored baits. P-Line jigs are a favorite for jigging right now.
The Locks are closed now.
On the San Joaquin River, trollers for stripers are working the lower Mokelumne and the Sounding Board all the way down to San Andreas, Santa Clara Shoals and False River. Most fish run from keeper size to 8-9 pounds. Anglers are ruining Rebels, Predator and Bombers.
Bait fishermen are catching fish using shad, anchovies and sardines. Most fish are running keeper size to 10 pounds, fishing the Sounding Board, mouth of the Mokelumne, Santa Clara and San Andreas Shoals down to Eddos.
Black Bass anglers are using top-water lures, Spinner Baits and Crank Baits.
Pardee: The lake will be closing for the year on Nov. 3. Trout fishing is very slow. Catfishing is pretty decent, using chicken livers, sardines and mackerel, catching some nice-sized fish.
Bank fishing is also on the slow side. Best baits are PowerBait, nightcrawlers and salmon eggs in the marina area.
Camanche: Trout fishermen are still catching some nice trout, using Needlefish, Rapalas and Excels. Best areas are the dam area to Big Hat, working the river channel. When the water cools a little more, the planting will start; possibly in the next two to three weeks.
Some nice bass are being caught using Excels and Needlefish.
Nice-sized catfish are being caught using nightcrawlers, chicken livers and mackerel. New Melones: Troll for trout are at 30-40 feet, using shad-pattern lures in the main body of the lake, the spillway and the dam.
Ocean: The salmon bite is great outside the gate using Tray Baits, Apexes, Brad's Cut Plugs and Dodger/Hoochies.

JERUSALEM (Feb. 2)
Israel has recalled its ambassador to Germany after a newspaper quoted him as saying the Shas Party and other fervently Orthodox parties are undemocratic.
Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon summoned Avi Primor to Israel on Tuesday to clarify the statements attributed to the ambassador, which could embarrass Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is courting Orthodox support for the nation's May elections.
Meanwhile, Shas leader Aryeh Deri called for Primor's dismissal.
Discussing the political situation in Israel in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt, Primor was quoted as saying that the Shas Party is "not based on laws or democracy. It rests on the laws of God and the words of rabbis."
The newspaper also quoted him as stating that Israel's other fervently Orthodox parties are also not founded on democratic principles.
Primor was also quoted as saying that most Shas supporters immigrated from Third World countries and that it will take time before they become familiar with the principles of democracy.
Primor said, "It is clear to anyone who reads the interviews, that my remarks were taken completely out of context."
"I stressed that Israeli democracy is strong. Strong enough to absorb waves of immigration from countries that are democratic," he said.
"I said that Shas is a party based on halachah [Jewish religious law] and on the decisions of their council of rabbinic sages. But that it is still an integral part of the democratic and parliamentary system in Israel."

Shooting At Sinkers
On April 26, 2008, two armed bandits entered Sinkers Wine and Spirits in Nashville Tennessee. Manager Clifford Baxter ducked into a back room to call 911 when he saw the two criminals with guns drawn. They did not want liquor. They did not ask for cigarettes. They demanded money. The two criminals stuck their guns in the clerk's face and then ordered two customers to the ground during their rampage.
They did not know one customer had a CCW. They did not know he had the willingness to use the concealed gun he carried. They did not expect that he would draw his weapon, engage them in gunfire and kill one of their criminal asses before they could complete their crime.
Yeah, I'm sure their crackhead baby's mama will be getting some air time bawling about how they were good boys who just wanted a loose cigarette when they entered Sinkers, but the manager and employees are telling a different tale. They are damned glad their customer carried a gun. They have plans to arm themselves in the future.
Good move Sinkers.......

Ratings for Dr. Alan J. Drucker
It was chilling. Dr. Draeker is Boris Karloff playing his signature role: The Grim Reaper. You don' want the Grim Reaper putting you on the medication that he obviously is taking. Also, his office is pathologically chaotic. He's not a kind of brilliant eccentric. He is mentally ill. Michael, his office manager, is beyond great. He takess pride in his work and is absolutely rhe best office manager ever. He is devoted to excellence and service. What impressed me even more is that no matter how bizarre his employer, he focuses on excellence, service and grace. He makes an art out of office management. I learned a lot from him both professionally and spiritually. Michael emphatically doesn't reflect Dr Draeker.. i just assumed that Dr. Dreaker was as evolved as his assiatant...gate keeper. A big---vast---mistake. Michael would make a gifted PA. Beware of Dr. Dreaker..
C Worst psychiatrist I had ever been to very disconcerting seems preoccupied with other thoughts no concern about his patient individually. Very quick sessions never a full hour of any attempt to help his patient doesn't look you in the eye. Very rude very unprofessional do yourself a favor find somebody else.
This guy is oversensitive and bitter. He called me only to yell at me in a very disrespectful tone and completely lost his temper because I left him a confidential voicemail telling him that he isn't taking care of me properly and that I find it unethical that I have been suffering with severe depression to the point that I can't take a shower or eat and he won't do anything about it. I apologized, told him I didn't mean any disrespect, and that I didn't mean to offend him. During the apointment following this I was hoping we could both be adults and put our big boy pants on and move on like men do. So I greeted him with a smile, a positive and respectful attitude, and I extended my hand to shake his hand. He refused to shake my hand, said get in, and kept giving me evil and dity looks. He kept getting irritated during the apointment each time I asked about a medication and got even more pissed when I told him how I felt about my condition in relation to a certain type of medication. Finally, he said now get out. What an awesome guy - he just got however many hundred dollars from my insurance for those 15 minutes and treats me like a worthless child. He must make over a million a year but humiliating his patient must be more exciting than buying a third Porsche.
Wow, I definitely do Not agree with the first comment. His staff was great, even helped me fill in paperwork when I had questions. Dr. Drucker listened to me completely. looked me strait in the eyes. and I felt he had Real Empathy. And I left feeling genuine like for the Man. He is a very intelligent person. Understanding health conditions other doctors did not. He Even Knew what Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency Was. In Ten years only a few doctors knew. I had to tell them. He Never once made me feel less than his Equal. He seemed Both Young And Wise. He even made me laugh a few times. I only have had one visit. but He seemed to have some qualities of my best childhood friend. I think he is great. I only wish I would have known him as a kid and then I could have a childhood friend to hang with. (I have 5 that drive 150 miles to come see me one way) it would be nice to have a local one. lol. I should have asked him if he was into astrophysics or quantum mechanics. I'll ask him next time lol :) Retired Computer network Engineer . With an End stage disease
Dr Drucker appears very uncaring and more interested in getting as many patients as he possibly can he doesn't look you in the eye he does not give you feedback.he is also very condescending appears to be unconcerne.I call the office and the receptionist thought I was on hold and I overheard the conversation between the receptionist and dr. Tucker concerning me I was insulted and advise the staff that I was insulted and I had planned to move on. I was an excellent patient you spend no more than 10 or 15 minutes with him as he write you a prescription get you out of the office quickly yet I was treated with disrespect. I will never return to his office again and I will advise everyone define another psychiatrist
After reading a previous comment, I felt I must add. I called the office yesterday and was very impressed with the man answering the phone. I was calling for info, availability and cost since I do not currently have insurance. The man was so helpful and took the time to talk to me in detail. He was very helpful and welcoming. I have called a dozen psychiatrists in my area in the last week, and this was the best as far as the person answering the phone being helpful and courteous. My only reason for not selecting this psychiatrist is cost restraints, but based on the positive representation of the staff, I would choose this doctor above the too many others I had called.
I saw him in 2011. He had no receptionist. Only 2-3 visits w/him. Very businesslike. He prescribed a med at end of last visit that he did not discuss w/me or even tell me anything about, Geodon. I have never taken it. He ordered 90 day supply online and had it sent to me. I received a bill for $50 co-pay. Could not return it, did not wish to take it or think it appropriate for me nor did Dr. I saw afterward. He is arrogant and dismissive and may dislike women. I refused to pay co-pay due to expense I incurred. Very disappointed. Not recommended.
WOW I have never been to a better doctors office in my entire life. I've made about 5 visits now, and everytime the receptionist has been ready and expecting me, and has taken me EARLY!!! The receptionist also makes a 24 hour appointment call reminder which no one else has done...and I think that is why I have not missed an appointment! I had my wallet stolen and was still allowed to see doctor for my last 2 visits without having to pay my copay there and then because of the circumstances. Dr. Alan himself is a very intelligent man. He is very short and to the point, there is no beating around the bush with him. His honesty and offhand knowledge to all my questions is shocking. Since going there, I have gone from feeling suicidal and anxious to feeling normal. This is the most accomidating doctor I have been to (about 8 or 9). He does not just throw pills at me, he actually diagnosed me and made sure they were needed. -Richard Stellabuto

Charges of family abuse and property against Pirates relief pitcher Tyler Yates in Hawaii have been dropped.
Yates, 32, was charged Dec. 30 after intervening in a dispute between his parents at his offseason home in Hawaii. He was released on $1,050 bail.
Four days later, Yates officially re-signed with the Pirates. The right-hander, who is recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery, received a minor league contract and an invitation to spring training.
Early this morning, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review contacted general manager Neal Huntington about Yates' status. Tonight, the Pirates admitted they knew about the situation before Yates agreed to his contract.
"We were made aware of the incident and were assured by Tyler that the charges were not justified," the team said in an e-mail statement. "As anticipated, all charges against Tyler have since been dropped. Tyler's wife Liezel and daughter Kamryn were no way involved in this matter.
"The manner in which our players represent the Pirates organization on and off the field is something that we take very seriously. We are completely satisfied with Tyler in this matter and respect his family's privacy. Now that the matter is resolved, (neither) the club nor Tyler will have (any) further comment."
Yates did not attend minicamp last week in Bradenton, Fla. He is expected to arrive in time for the Feb. 18 start of spring training, but will not be healthy enough to pitch until later this summer.

There is a war quietly brewing between Australia's banks, and it's not over which can offer the lowest home loan rate.
Instead, financial institutions are gearing up to mine the "new oil of the digital world", collating all of the information they have about customers to tailor products or offers to each consumer.
While information has long been crucial for approving mortgages or judging if a bank has enough cash to survive a downturn, the same data is now being used to work out how to hit customers with better sales pitches and shake up internal processes.
Everything from the customer's age, gender and address to how often he or she has visited the bank's website or tweeted about an adverse experience is now a valuable commodity stored deep in concrete-sealed data centres.
The big four banks, and their nimble competitors, are tripping over themselves to secure the customer relationship, which they say is the key not only to your loyalty but also all your data. These opportunities are born out of the $400 million "big data" trend in Australia; the move to take countless variables, link them and use them to determine what is happening to an individual customer or the customer base at large.
"Big data is still a very, very early game for financial services, it's going to be a long journey for them, but it's finding credible uses in certain areas of execution," says IDC analyst Michael Araneta.
"It's obviously a very saturated market, so it's about customer segmentation, being able to understand your customer more."
This quest to know the customer has pitted some bank executives against the likes of Facebook and Apple.
Technology vendors are snaring the direct financial relationship with the customer and, by extension, information crucial to how a company runs its business.
CBA says it has so much data it could even sell it on to others as an information broker, which in turn could transform client strategies.
Transformed into a searchable format similar to the way Google "scrapes" the internet for websites and search terms, Suncorp will be able to capitalise the data it has from customers associated with its bank and insurance brands like AAMI and GIO.
From there, the group could know everything about a customer's life, from the income they deposit in Suncorp banking and the amount they spend on credit cards to the value of their homes under insurance with AAMI and the risk of it washing away in a flood.
"We see transactions that tell us very clearly what's happening in the customer's life," says Antony Ugoni, head of analytics and research operations at NAB.
The information has been used to determine when a customer can pay off his or her mortgage more quickly, or establish early warning alarms to check if a customer will default on payments.
"I'd be staggered if any of the big four aren't currently [using this information]," he says. "I think where this may fall down is in the smaller to medium-sized organisations, where they don't have an analytics team."
For every Goliath, however, there is a David. Where major banks have the infrastructure and budgets to churn through masses of data, smaller banks have the efficiency of relatively smaller operations to respond more quickly.
NAB's online-only subsidiary, UBank, intends to rival the Australian Bureau of Statistics' five-yearly census for population insights when it launches a website this month that can compare consumer spending on entertainment, food, shopping and utilities. Unlike most consumer spending reports, this is the result of correlating 1 billion transactions conducted by NAB customers over four years with demographic information. The result is an interactive site that will tell Australians who spends their money on what, and from where.
According to UBank general manager Alex Twigg, the strategy will ultimately inform the bank's product strategy and could lead to specifically tailored banking.
"In the past, the industry has designed myriad products for the small niche parts of the market," Twigg says.
"With big data we can create that proper product for the majority of people and then create smaller products for the niche customers, accurately and effectively."
ING Direct head of business intelligence customer insights Greg Nichelsen says his systems don't have the pedigree of UBank, but his company does have the nimbleness required to make use of data patterns.
Nichelsen relies on thousands, rather than millions, of data points gleaned from internal statistics on website and call centre use, as well as social media, survey data and demographic information, which the bank buys from data brokers.
Even with this, Nichelsen says the bank will be able to provide products unthinkable several years ago.
The bank is looking to tailor its home loan products in coming years so it can sell to customers based on their location. The capability means that when looking at property in Sydney's eastern suburbs, customers will see different loans, rates and conditions than those aiming to enter the market on the NSW central coast. It is a far-cry from the one-size-fits-all list banks currently rely on.
And all this is the result of computers churning in warehouses, categorising you based on what your bank knows about you.
"Some [banks] are really going to push the boundaries of what customers expect from the bank . . . they'll all have some form of major capability step change in terms of how they use data to drive action to the customers," Nichelsen says.
Deloitte director Glen Ryman describes big data as being "like teenage sex . . . everyone's talking about it, not very many people are doing it, and the people who are doing it aren't doing it very well."
For the future it is perhaps overseas where the best examples – and biggest warnings – are prevalent.
The loyalty card scheme run by UK supermarket giant Tesco is consistently used as the pinnacle of data-driven knowledge.
The example of US retail outlet Target knowing when a customer is pregnant is often the flipside – where big data can become creepy.
But for PayPal's former chief scientist, Mok Oh, it is the information jackpot companies crave.
The e-commerce giant is able to draw links between arbitrary stores and locations from the millions of transactions conducted daily by its 120 million active users.
From this it's possible to know when a potential customer will buy a foot-long sub from Subway, a hammer from Home Depot and underwear from Victoria's Secret in one day; information, Oh says, companies would "die to know".
And it is the winning strategy behind the data war.

text: 52ftw - Unregistered November 29, 2010 7:05 PM I am a big Toseland fan and rarely post on here, I understand there are a lot of Toseland haters here but in this thread there seems to be less troll more fact. James is more than capable of taking a 3rd world championship, but I don't think that'll be coming this year on the BMW. As said before JT is **** under pressure, this year there is no pressure. Yamaha didn't treat him too great last year either, I don't think the Yamaha team was a very good set up and Crutchlow struggled too, James was on the podium before Cal remember and got 5 consecutive podiums and fought for two race victories (Assen & Monza) before his awful crash at Monza. James needs to be looking for consistent top 6 finishes this year on that satellite BMW, and aiming to get on the podium a couple of times and perhaps a win. That's all he can aim for in my opinion, this year isn't gonna be about winning a championship, it's gonna be about getting back on track and getting a good bike for 2012 - move over Corser! 11 agree 0 disagree

A handful of tech billionaires rank among last year's most generous philanthropists, according to an annual list of America's 50 biggest donors. The ranking, published yesterday by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, includes Facebook cofounder Mark Zuckerberg, Salesforce.com founder Marc Benioff and Oracle chief Larry Ellison.
Overall, 2010 wasn't a great year for giving. The total amount given by the 2010 Philanthropy 50 (who really numbered 54 because of ties in the Chronicle's rankings) was $3.3 billion. That's the smallest amount since the publication began compiling its list in 2000. The annual tally peaked when it hit $50.7 billion in 2006 -- the year Warren Buffett pledged $36.1 billion to the Gates Foundation.
Furthermore, the median gift in 2010 was $39.6 million, down from $41.4 million in 2009, $69.3 million in 2008, and $74.4 million in 2007, the Chronicle reports.
No. 1 on the 2010 list is hedge fund manager George Soros, who donated $332 million last year to Open Society Foundations, an organization he created to fund human rights causes around the world. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg placed second in the rankings, having pledged $279.2 million to nearly 1,000 charities in 2010, according to the Chronicle.
The highest-ranking tech-related philanthropist on the list is Irwin Jacobs, cofounder of wireless communications vendor Qualcomm. Coming in at No. 4, Jacobs and his wife, Joan Jacobs, donated $119.5 million in 2010 to beneficiaries including the University of California at San Diego Health System, to which they pledged $75 million for the construction of a new medical center.
Salesforce.com's Benioff and his wife Lynne Benioff donated $100 million to the University of California at San Francisco for a new children's hospital. The Benioff's $100 million pledge landed them in the 10th position on the Chronicle's ranking – tied with Zuckerberg, the youngest donor to ever make the list.
Zuckerberg pledged $100 million – via his new foundation, Startup:Education -- to overhaul public education in Newark, N.J.
EBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife Pam Omidyar, who donated $61.5 million in 2010, placed 16th on the list. Pam Omidyar is chairwoman of HopeLab, a nonprofit that develops technology to help chronically ill children. The couple's 2010 beneficiaries include HopeLab, Humanity United, Omidyar Network and the Ulupono Initiative.
Also representing the tech industry is Ming Hsieh, who donated $50 million to the University of Southern California to help fund a new institute for nanomedicine research. Hsieh (No. 19) founded AMAX Information Technologies, a high performance computing and storage vendor in Fremont, Calif., and Cogent Systems, a biometric security vendor in Pasadena.
Ellison landed at No. 24 on the list with a $45.1 million donation to his Ellison Medical Foundation for biomedical research. Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen donated $32.3 million in 2010 to beneficiaries including Washington State University, landing him at No. 31.
Just six of the donors on the Chronicle's list are under age 50, including Zuckerberg (26), Pierre and Pam Omidyar (both 43) and Benioff (46).
The Chronicle notes in its research that it only counts new gifts and pledges, not payments that donors made on pledges announced in previous years. As a result, the 2010 Philanthropy 50 list doesn't include some of last year's largest donations, which were made as payments on pledges announced in previous years.

Why did Audrey sport a ceremonial crown with tassles similar to a young Marie Fontenot in said vieo?
Her mother, Marie Wombwell, was the widow of the "heavy drinker and reckless gambler" Frederick Wombwell.
Disclosure: I edited a feature that she wrote for Marie Claire in 2003.
According to Marie Ridder, his wife's belly dancing became the main topic of John Kluge's conversation.
Samantha Sidney Altman's girlfriend, Marie Dana, had a right to be upset when she saw Altman's will.
But Marie was the thousandth woman—a true super-woman, in every sense of the word.
And as Marie came dancing in at that moment, the conversation was not renewed.
But the most blessed thing of all was my interview with Marie.
"Well, if one could, I should have thought thou wouldst," retorted Marie.
It gave Feathers a little shock to hear Chris speak of Marie in those words.

Nerves about fronting angry shareholders, answering to millionaire investors and running billion-dollar companies pale into nothing compared to playing a round with Tiger Woods.
The Lowy Family Group's head of Australian equities played with JBWere head of institutional wealth
Crowds were lower than the sell-out at the pro-am last year, though it was clear the corporate types were still in awe of the golfing superstar.
"It's funny to see some of these public figures so nervous when they tee off with someone like Tiger," Gale says.
The business trio had a mixed day. Aboud hit a spectator before settling down to play some excellent shots on the back nine – including landing his ball inside that of Woods on the par-3 14th and repeating the trick on the following hole, where he recorded a birdie.
Gale, the best qualified of the trio, playing off a handicap of two, could not blame nerves for his up-and-down day – he played in the same group as Woods at last year's tournament. Instead, he blamed his day job. "Clearly, I've been working too hard in the office and not spending enough time out on the golf course," he says.
Kinghorn, who plays off 15 at the Australia Golf Club in Sydney, drove well off the tee but complained about his inconsistent short game. "I've really enjoyed today. It's been great fun."
The foursome's efforts weren't enough to win. They finished in the middle of the field behind the group led by professional
Kinghorn says Woods was very encouraging of his amateur playing partners, "often saying 'good shot' when we hit it well".
Woods deflected questions about his personal life after the round and said he was looking forward to defending his title. "It was a fun day today playing the course with the guys I played with," he said.

Sounds like I was assuming it was backwards since I download more than
I upload, though probably not by as much of a margin as most people.
Now that I look at it again, that makes sense assuming m0n0wall uses
in/out terminology the same way Cisco does (i.e. from the perspective
of the device. Inbound is coming into the firewall on that interface,
outbound is going out from the firewall on that interface)
The numbers make even less sense now though, unless the counters roll
over when they get to a certain point. I've definitely downloaded
more than 39.77 MB from the internet to my LAN in the 5.5 days those
counters should cover. Probably more like 4 GB if I had to guess.

New Zealand dairy giant
Fonterra, which has a unit trust listed in Australia and New Zealand, was embroiled in an ultimately inaccurate whey protein contamination scare in 2013 that prompted a worldwide product recall.
The world's largest dairy exporter said in a statement on Friday that it "does not accept" the regulator's view that breached listing rules by failing to disclose material information in a timely fashion during the scandal.
The regulator argues that Fonterra breached its obligations because material information relating to the contamination came into its possession on 31 July, 2013, but the company only made its first announcement after market close on Friday August 2.
The Disciplinary Tribunal, which is the judicial body of the New Zealand Stock Exchange, considered that Fonterra "has an obligation to uphold high public standards" and it "was aware of the expectations of the market and regulators to ensure the timely disclosure of information".
Fonterra will pay the costs incurred by the Tribunal as well the $150,000 fine.
As well as being New Zealand's biggest company and a key exporter, Auckland-based Fonterra is also the second biggest milk processor in Australia.

The Washington Redskins made a move to bolster the offensive line charged with protecting quarterback Robert Griffin III, selecting University of Virginia offensive tackle Morgan Moses and Nebraska guard Spencer Long in the third round of the draft.
The Redskins used the 66th overall pick of the draft on Moses, which marks the earliest they have taken a lineman since selecting Trent Williams fourth overall in 2010. They then took Long 78th overall.
In the 6-foot-6, 314-pound Moses, the Redskins get a strong, athletic tackle with great length. Moses entered the draft projected as a late-first to early second-round pick. But Moses – whose inconsistency drew criticisms – wound up sliding down to the second pick of the third round, and into Washington's lap.
● Related: Insider posts about Morgan Moses | Washington's O-line
The Redskins this offseason have worked to upgrade their offensive line, signing free agent Shawn Lauvao to start at left guard, moving guard Kory Lichtensteiger to center, and adding backup guard/center Mike McGlynn.
Washington had hoped to add a tackle to compete with incumbent Tyler Polumbus, whose contract expires next offseason, and they accomplished that goal by selecting Moses.
"It was a crazy wait, but I'm just blessed to have the opportunity and to have my name called, to walk across that stage and put that hat on," Moses said. "Knowing the need that they needed, and getting to sit down with Coach Gruden a couple weeks ago and to have that talk, it's a great thing. To play alongside a Pro Bowl tackle in Trent Williams and knowing I'm going to block for RGIII, it's just a blessing to have that. … I just want to be able to get in there and start working right now."
Moses said that he knows he still has growing and developing to do. But he remains confident in his skill set and aims to compete for the starting right tackle job.
"I feel like I have all the abilities to play at the next level," Moses said. "So I'm just going to come in there, and come in there to work hard and let everything else fall into place."
Long, like Moses, boasts good size, athleticism and strength. At 6 feet 5 and 320 pounds, he ranks among the bigger linemen on Washington's roster. Gruden had said publicly that he wanted to beef up the line, but at the same time, he wanted to make sure that the linemen acquired also had good quickness and mobility.
"They're big, but it's not necessarily big that we're looking for. Size is important. They have some big defensive linemen nowadays, and we want to protect our quarterback the best way we can. But also we want to be athletic and get out and run the football. We've been a very successful zone-running team here with athletic offensive linemen. But there's going to come a time we're going to have to throw the ball and we'll need some size in there and these guys will compete."
Long is coming off an injury-shortened season, but says he has fully recovered from surgery to repair torn medial collateral and posterior collateral ligaments in his left knee. The Redskins' medical evaluators gave him a passing grade, and Washington felt confident in his abilities.

Bobby G's Trailer Park – 'Savages' [Video]
Three words…"Oh, hell yeah"…this movie looks dope (no pun intended). The first thing that caught my eye was the description on that green screen at the very beginning…"STRONG BRUTAL AND GRISLY VIOLENCE, SOME GRAPHIC SEXUALITY, NUDITY, DRUG USE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT". What else does a movie need?
Savages is a new flick from director Oliver Stone. It features some 'beautiful' young people like Blake Lively and Taylor Kitsch. And it features some really cool 'older' actors like Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta, Salma Hayek and Uma Thurman.
You can get the plot from the trailer below. Personally I don't care about the story…it just looks like a really cool, action-packed movie. Check it out!

Lower Burrell heart patient's fight just beginning
The family of Tim Horwatt hopes the community he has supported over the years will return the favor this Saturday.
Horwatt, 44, of Lower Burrell has mounting medical expenses due to a lifelong heart condition that now requires a heart transplant.
His cousin, Leslie Petrosky of Lower Burrell, said his family members decided to sponsor a pasta dinner Saturday at the Kinloch Volunteer Fire Department.
"When he gets a new heart, the cost is going to be outrageous," Petrosky said.
Although Horwatt has medical insurance, not all costs will be covered, she said.
"Afterward, there will be medical expenses, medicines, back-and-forth trips to hospital," Petrosky said.
Horwatt's mother, Nancy Horwatt Rainey of Lower Burrell, said her son hasn't been able to work for several years due to his failing health.
He was born with a congenital defect called a transposition of the great vessels. The two major arteries of his heart were connected to the wrong chambers and didn't pump blood correctly.
"Basically, it means his heart operates backward," Rainey said.
She said Horwatt had a corrective surgery called a Mustard procedure when he was 2 years old.
"The correction held him for 40 years, but it has started to fail," she said.
Earlier in June, Horwatt had surgery to install a ventricular assist device (VAD) to help his heart pump blood temporarily. He continued to recover in the intensive care unit at UPMC Presbyterian hospital this week.
"They hope this will bridge him until he can get a new heart," Rainey said.
She said her son twice was called about a possible donor heart, but twice doctors determined the heart wasn't a match.
"It's hard to say how long he will have to wait," Rainey said. "It could be in the next three months, or it could be the next 20-some months."
She said Horwatt's heart condition prevented him from participating in most sports as a child, but he has volunteered with many sporting organizations as an adult.
He serves as president of the Burrell Gridiron Club that supports the high school's varsity football team. His son, upcoming senior Tyler Horwatt, is a player, and his cousin, Kevin Horwatt, is a coach.
Tim Horwatt also has assisted the rugby and youth football and wrestling programs in Lower Burrell as well as the Kinloch fire department, his family said.
"He's always been a very active guy," Rainey said. "Tim wasn't able to play himself and has been involved in the fundraising and everything else."
"He's a jack-of-all-trades," Petrosky said.

"A real gem"," what a find'","'perfect place for renewal",just a few of the descriptions from our visitors.Huge, PRIVATE yard to roam around in and your own PRIVATE PIER for fishing. Come and explore the small towns in the area and retreat back to this, super clean, Cozy hideaway. Relax in this very, very, private,(no neighbors) soothing cabin nestled back among the trees, sitting high on a hilltop, overlooking the Rock River at Indianford
Although there is one bedroom, this place is far from confining. There is a huge private yard, a Screened Porch, deck or a private pier to relax on. A fire pit is on site. Pets considered.
This cabin has one QUEEN SIZE bed, one sleeper sofa, and a kitchen with all utensils included. Free use of wireless internet, canoe , jon boat, and paddle boat.Kayak RENTAL available.
You will also have your very own private pier to do a little fishing or just for relaxing. This is a very safe environment to just even get away for sometime alone, or for Mom and a couple of friends to relax and get away from it all.
The Towne Country Club is just 5 minutes away and open to the public for golfing on a beautiful course, with a couple of the holes designed by Edgerton native, Steve Stricker. Also, Edgerton has a great Aquatic Facility for relaxing around the pool on a hot summer day.
You might want to take a stroll across the bridge and have lunch at Off The Hook Grub/Pub , The Showboat Tap, or The Edgewater Cafe.
Pick up some bait and supplies at Treps Bait Shop. This is a great place to just watch the world go by.
Amenities:There is parking available for your boat and trailer

Also great fishing for walleye in April and May, up and down the river and at the dam. Also enjoy use of canoe and Jon boat, free of charge.
My husband and I spent a wonderful long weekend here. This place felt enchanted with the view of the river and the little screened-in porch that we called "the magic room." We took turns reading and relaxing in there, out on the deck, and on the lawn overlooking the river. We caught a spectacular sunrise over the river on our last morning. The place was very clean but also felt cozy and lived-in, in all the best ways—just a classic Wisconsin cabin experience. The A/C and internet worked great. It felt private and secluded but we also liked knowing we could walk over to the dam and across the bridge if we wanted a change of scenery or be social. Still, we stayed put nearly the whole weekend. Chris and George were very responsive and helpful. If your ideal vacation is sitting someplace with a great view, reading, watching the birds, listening to cicadas, this is an excellent place to do it. We recommend and we'll be back.
My husband and I spent our honeymoon in this little cabin. We are not beach people, but love the water, so this place was perfect. Our immediate reaction when seeing the cabin was: perfection. Chris and George really thought of everything for this place. All of our creature comforts were met. They have games to play, cards, wifi, dish network, towels, blankets, a fireplace, they thought of everything. There is a private dock that you can go fishing off of and a couple of boats to use. It was absolutely perfect and we really loved our stay here! We highly recommend this cabin.
What a wonderful getaway. Very quite with lots of trees and amazing views of the Rock River. Short drive to Edgerton for groceries, but secluded and set back on the property. Really enjoyed watching the many birds at the bird feeder. Big fire pit and serviceable kitchen. It was a great place to get away from it all and just relax. Will be back very soon.
this cozy place is very nice,has everything you need, inside,our favorite was the awesome screenhouse overlooking the rock river....and or outside you can have a bonfire ,fish off the pier for catfish even walleye,and nearby free boat launch off of Ellendale rd.you can tie your boat off to the pier too, and take a 20 min boat ride up to lake koshkonong a nice calm lake,you can also enjoy some stops around the lake at sunset bar n grille/nice bar/outdoor seating/bands,or stop at lakeview campground has nice bar/outdoor seating/beach/bands,if you like fish ,the bluegill breakfast is excellent at bluegilleys pancake house!!on the down side if you come up to fish do your research first the fishing is probably best in spring and fall... summertime can be tough ,the shallow waters get very warm and algea blooms make swimming a bit uninviting, the locals may know the secrets to fishing success too!try the indianford dam across the road off shore for catfish ,walleye and a mixed bag, try crawlers or leeches,youll get fish but expect snags too,other than that a good time to be had...near the cabin walking distance is trepps bait shop and a a cozy little bar/grill, off the hook pub n grub resteraunt,have a cold beer and walk across the road to fish off the rocks...if you go into Edgerton ,try two brothers pub n outdoor patio for some great food!,george and chris are very helpful with any info you may need!.....enjoy
We are very tardy with this review but had to comment. The house is small but well-appointed and we particularly loved the deck where we could sit outside with our coffee and watch the water. The pier was a perfect spot to stand under a full moon, listening to the water lapping.... Chris was so very kind, both in making the arrangements and answering our questions. George went above and beyond the call of duty coming out in a downpour to help with the VCR when we were so obviously challenged in making it work properly. He came out on his own accord and it was a very nice thing to do. Just delightful people who have a beautiful home to rent to those of us who pine for the midwest and an easier life.....thank you again, so very much. Linda and Bill
First off, both Chris and George are very nice people. George greeted us as we arrived, showed us the place and then got out of our way. He had a lot of great information for us so we enjoyed talking to him. We had a great time watching the numerous birds at the feeders and the river. People watching as well with the Indianford Dam close by we could watch the comings and goings as people fished and had a picnic. Very secluded but nice view of the river down below. The cottage had everything you need but food. The deck is awesome to relax and the screened in porch came in handy for the one day we had morning rain. We even saw a Barred Owl right in a tree close to the cottage. We will be back if the owners will let us!

Miami FL (SPX) Aug 21, 2013
A new computer simulation conducted at the University of Bristol (UB) and University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science has revealed the epic, ocean-spanning journeys travelled by millimetre-sized coral larvae through the world's seas.
The study, published in Global Ecology and Biogeography, is the first to recreate the oceanic paths along which corals disperse globally, and will eventually aid predictions of how coral reef distributions may shift with climate change.
Coral reefs are under increasing threat from the combined pressures of human activity, natural disturbances and climate change. It has been suggested that coral may respond to these changing conditions by shifting to more favourable refuges, but their ability to do this will depend on the ocean currents.
Sally Wood, a Ph.D. candidate at UB, explains: "Dispersal is an extremely important process for corals. As they are attached to the seafloor as adults, the only way they can escape harmful conditions or replenish damaged reefs is by releasing their young to the mercy of the ocean currents."
Where these intrepid explorers end up is therefore an important question for coral reef conservation. However, tracking the movement of such tiny larvae in the vast oceans is an impossible task. "This is where computer simulation comes in," adds Wood.
Collaborating across the pond, Wood used the Connectivity Modeling System (CMS) developed by Dr. Claire Paris, associate professor of Applied Marine Physics at UM to identify the billions of paths taken. This larval migration model had been tested in a previous study against the reef-building coral Montastraea annularis in the Caribbean, where consensus between modeled estimates of genetic structure were found.
"Simulating an unprecedented number of mass spawning events from all known shallow reefs in the global ocean proved essential to identifying critical long dispersal distance events that promote the establishment of new coral colonies. What we found using the CMS are rare long distance dispersers that are thought to contribute to species persistence in isolated coral reefs, and to geographic range shifts during environmental changes," said Paris.
Some of the results yielded by the team were surprising. While the majority of simulated larvae settled close to home, others travelled as far as 9,000 km., almost the entire width of the Pacific Ocean. When considered over multiple generations, this means that corals are able to cross entire ocean basins, using islands and coastlines as 'stepping stones.'
However, a few places proved too distant for all but the hardiest of larvae: Coral in the tropical eastern Pacific are almost entirely cut off from those on islands of the central Pacific by a daunting 5000 km of open ocean. Geographically isolated reefs such as these may be particularly vulnerable, as they are not stocked with external recruits as frequently.
The model captured the start of the coral larvae's journey to its survival, and further work is ongoing to complete the story. Even after overcoming the trials of the open ocean, coral larvae arriving at a suitable location must first negotiate a 'wall of mouths' to settle on the reef face, and then compete fiercely for the space to thrive and grow.

Parent Trigger Laws Empower Parents for School Change
May 17, 2013
In January 2010, California passed a parent trigger law that allows parents to change the administration of a poorly performing public school. After facing significant opposition, a local group of parents has received the nod from the courts that their actions are in fact legal. The court ruling and the group, Desert Trails Parent Union, demonstrate that families and the local community can empower themselves to transform a dysfunctional school system, says Ben Austin, executive director of Parent Revolution and former deputy mayor of Los Angeles.
- The Desert Trails Parent Union organized many parents who signed a petition, outlined their objectives, and met with teachers and administration officials.
- Despite defenders of the school system perpetrating a campaign of lies, intimidation, fraud and forgeries, a superior court judge has concluded that parents are acting within the parent trigger law.
- Following the support of the courts, the parents have convinced the district to allow a high-quality nonprofit charter school operator to take over Desert Trails Elementary.
Amidst a deeply divided political climate, politicians on both sides of the aisle are supporting parent triggers and the idea of giving parents more ability to reform failing schools where their children attend.
- A Gallup poll found that 70 percent of respondents favored parent trigger laws.
- Opponents of parent trigger laws say that parents have to navigate a maze of bureaucratic hurdles, which limits the ability of parents to be successful.
- In California, the State Board of Education is working to streamline the process and remove barriers for parents to organize and address their grievances.
Education professionals say that parents do not possess the necessary knowledge to make meaningful reforms. Given the track record of public education, parent triggers empower parents to take a more active role in their child's education.
- As the parent trigger evolves, better models of how to organize parents and encourage district and school participation are being developed.
- Six states now have parent trigger laws and more than 10 states are considering implementing the laws in their state.

Hump Day: How Do I Know If My Orgasm Is . . . Right?
Welcome to Hump Day, TrèsSugar's new sex advice column! Are you confused about sex? Do you have trouble having an orgasm? Is there something you'd like to try but you're worried it's too weird? Send your questions to TrèsSugar, and our friend Dr. Charlie Glickman from Good Vibrations will offer his sound advice!
Today's Question:
For years I thought I hadn't had an orgasm because I expected it to be similar to a man's. I also expected that when I did eventually have one I wouldn't question whether or not that was it because it would be so great/pleasurable that there would be no doubt whether it had happened. My biggest obstacle to get over is that I stop either myself or my partner too soon because it becomes too uncomfortable/sensitive and I just don't like it. Any advice would be appreciated. To find out what Dr. Glickman's advice is,
Dr. Glickman's response:
Many women have had similar experiences, so I'm glad that you asked the question. There are many elements to sexual pleasure and each person is different. As a result, there are lots of women whose sexual responses don't do what they may expect, especially if they're comparing their experiences with men's orgasms.
Quite a few women find that sexual stimulation, especially clitoral stimulation, can become too intense. They often report that changing what they're doing can keep the fun going without overdoing it. Think of it like switching from eating something spicy to something a bit milder to give your body a chance to catch up. That's a useful comparison because many people tend to think that stronger sensations are always better, but it's not always the case. Some people like spicy food and others don't. So if you find that slow and steady gets you there, go for it!
Figuring out what works for you can be a bit easier with some solo exploration since it takes the pressure of a partner's expectations out of the picture. If you're looking for ideas, I really like Sadie Allison's book Tickle Your Fancy because she offers lots of tips in a fun and friendly format. She also talks about using toys, lubricants, and fantasies so you'll have plenty of options.
If you want to explore things with a partner, you might find it helpful to explain that your body can get overstimulated and you need to change things up every so often. That's when it can be helpful to be able to describe what you like since your partner won't be able to always guess when you need things to be a bit different or what you'd like to do.
While feeling overstimulated is certainly one piece of the puzzle, I think it's important to recognize that there are many women who haven't had orgasms for a number of reasons. Becoming Orgasmic is an excellent book that's designed to help women figure out what their particular barriers are and how to overcome them. Women who have experienced orgasm but who'd like to have them more consistently or more easily can also get a lot out of this friendly step-by-step guide.

TOP STORY >> Dentists give children free care
Leader staff writer
About 50 Jacksonville-area kids 12 and under received free dental screenings this week thanks to Central Arkansas Dental Associates and the Colgate Mobile Dental Van.
The dental unit was parked in front of the Jacksonville Walmart on John Harden Drive Thursday afternoon.
Dr. Andy Orr of Central Arkansas Dental examined the kids teeth, explained how they can prevent cavities and how to brush properly.
Orr was assisted by Jackie Ortner and Dina Holland.
I love to volunteer. I love working with kids. They are so happy to see us, dental assistant Jackie Ortner said.
Melissa Meredith, Central Arkansas Dentals director of operations, said that its great to get out of the office and give back to the community.
Sometimes (kids) come to us at 5 years old without their baby teeth, Meredith said.
She said children who lose their baby teeth early are unlikely to form their adult teeth properly.
Thats the importance of pediatric dentistry, Meredith said.
The van, which is an RV with a compact dental-examining room inside, travels around Ohio, Kentucky, Arkansas, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana year-round, serving under-insured communities.
The Colgate Mobile Dental van is driven by Holmesetta Green of Louisville and her husband, Nathaniel.
Their mission is to educate parents and children about the importance of dental hygiene. Theyve been at it for eight years.
The Greens said the demand for dental care is growing every day.
We go to a city and ask dentists to volunteer, Mrs. Green said.
Central Arkansas Dentals staff was asked only the day before to work at the event, but they jumped at the chance.
The kids who took advantage of the Colgate van Thursday are better prepared for the start of school next week.
The Greens expect to return next year, but that might not be soon enough for some.

Do I Have Migraine Headaches?
Dr. Larry A. Johnson, D.C.
If you have headaches and are wondering if they could be migraine headaches we can probably help you figure that out. There are some very distinctive characteristics of migraine headaches that can differentiate migraines from other types of headaches such as tension headaches, stress headaches, cluster headaches or other types of headaches.
Migraine headaches are more often than not one-sided, meaning the pain is felt on only one side of the head. Most of the time the pain of a migraine headache can be felt in the temple area or behind one of the eyes or ears. Migraine headaches can become severe and disabling. Nausea is a common symptom of this type of headache as is vomiting or sensitivity to light or sound. About 20% of patients with migraine headaches experience an aura. An aura is a disturbance in vision that can consist of bright blinking colored lights that move across the field of vision.
Migraine headaches can become chronic in nature. When they are chronic the patient most commonly experiences them once or twice a month. However, in some instances migraine headaches can occur as often as once or twice a week. Migraine headaches affect people between the ages of 15 and 55 and are more common in women than in men. Migraines affect women about 3 times as often as men.
Migraines affect about 30 or 40 million Americans, but they are less common than tension headaches. It is estimated that about 75% of all headaches are tension headaches. Tension headaches are typically characterized by a dull pain over the entire head while migraines are usually throbbing in nature and located in one particular spot. In other words, tension-type headaches are a constant dull pain while migraines throb like the beating of the heart.
Chronic tension headaches can occur every day while chronic migraine headaches occur less often, usually once a week to once a month. Fatigue and stress can cause both types of headaches, but migraine headaches can be triggered by other factors such as different types of food. Migraine headaches can sometimes be helped by eliminating these triggers. Foods that may lead to migraines include cheese, alcohol, MSG (monosodium glutamate),
nuts, beans, caffeine, chocolate, onions and others. Eliminating the trigger may eliminate the migraines.
Cluster headaches are far less common than either migraine headaches or tension-type-headaches. Men are about six times more likely than women to experience cluster headaches. The pain of a cluster headache starts quickly, without any warning, and typically reaches its peak between two and fifteen minutes.
The pain of a cluster headache can be extremely intense, deep and explosive. Migraines are usually "pulsing" while clusters are not. Between 10 and 20 percent of cluster patients have "ice-pick" or "stabbing" pain around the eyes. This stabbing pain typically lasts for a few seconds, but can occur several times in succession. When this sudden attack of intense pain occurs it usually means that the headache is near its end.
For natural migraine headache relief it is often beneficial to relax and rest. Sometimes lying in a dark room with an ice pack on the base of the skull can reduce the pressure that is felt in the head. The same treatment can also help tension or stress headaches. Reducing stress can go a long way to relieving many headache symptoms.
If you experience chronic headaches and over-the-counter medication or natural remedies do not help it may be wise to consult a physician.

2 salmon fillets
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1- 8 oz. package cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tbsp. fresh chopped dill
Salt and pepper to taste
2 boxes mini filo shells (30 filo shells)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 2 pieces of wax paper about three times larger than fillets. Brush each piece of wax paper with 1/8 c. extra virgin olive oil and place skin side of fish on the oiled wax paper. Pour 1/8 c. lemon juice over each fillet, salt and pepper to taste; then roll the wax paper up and over the fillets creating a bag. Staple bag shut. Place bagged fillets on baking sheet, and bake until bags turn brown and fillets are cooked through (20-25 minutes). Remove from oven. Remove fillets from bags (reserving liquid) and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, dill, and salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and the resulting mixture is creamy in texture. Add cooled filets (and their juices) and whip. Put this whipped salmon mixture in a pastry bag, and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Will keep for 3 days, properly refrigerated.)
When you're ready to serve, remove pastry bag from refrigerator and allow time for whipped salmon mixture to soften. Meanwhile, heat filo cups following manufacturers instructions. Pipe whipped salmon mixture into each filo cup. Sprinkle with sea salt and garnish with a sprig of dill. Serve.
Yield: 30 shells

Inspired by a cake in a 1997 Gourmet magazine issue, Dark Chocolate Wedding Cake with Chocolate Orange Ganache and Orange Buttercream, I baked a 9" 2-layer birthday cake this week-end. Initially, I planned on down-sizing the recipes and "Rosing" the cake recipe—converting the instructions to Rose's method of mixing. Then I thought, why go through this extra work when I can just use Rose's recipes? So I baked a Chocolate Fudge Cake from TCB, also using recipes from TCB for the ganache, orange curd and buttercream. I also made vanilla Ice Cream from TCB. What a neat trick to use vodka to keep the ice cream from becoming too hard in the freezer. Thanks, Rose, for another successful cake that garnered great compliments.
The floral garnish is a type of wild hibiscus from my Mexican garden.
