The last time the Boston Cannons and Denver Outlaws met, it was in front of a packed house of 27,184 on Fourth of July weekend, with both teams at the peak of their seasons thus far.
The Cannons came into that contest riding high on a four-game winning streak and won the game, 15-12. Denver — which was tied for first with Boston going into the contest — had won two straight.
The teams meet this week under different circumstances. Boston is still No. 1 in the standings but has dropped two straight. The Outlaws are in second, but the gap has closed and they're tied with two other teams after losing three straight games.
But the Cannons are hoping to take care of business this week, where again a win would clinch a spot in the postseason.
That means doing a better job preventing turnovers than they did in last week's 16-12 loss against Hamilton.
"For us, most importantly we need to take care of the ball," coach Bill Daye said. "In that last game we turned the ball over 20-plus times and when you do that it's hard to win at this level. That's the first priority, and then we need to play our game offensively and try to limit Denver's transition and touches on offense."
For the second straight game, the Cannons have struggled putting up goals in the second half. Last week, Boston scored nine goals in the first half to three in the second. Two weeks ago in a loss to Long Island, Boston scored 10 goals in the first half but only one in the second.
Daye also pointed to a need to move the ball better, getting the entire offense involved in the play. In Boston's nine-goal second quarter last week, five different players (Kevin Buchanan, Paul Rabil, Max Quinzani, Matt Poskay and Ryan Boyle) scored goals.
But even amid a two-game skid the fact remains that Boston is a talented team in a prime spot to lock up a postseason berth, and its recent struggles are easily correctable.
"I think disappointment is the perfect word (to describe the team's mood after last week). Every team is good and this league, and if you don't show up and take care of what you need to do on your end, as we've seen, you can definitely take a loss," Daye said.
"When you have mental lapses and things like that, you know it's stuff that you can control and stuff that you expect to be better the next time you step on the field. Obviously guys are disappointed that we didn't execute and do the things that we needed to do to put ourselves in a position to win Saturday night."
Daye is confident his players can get back on track and are already working to get out of its lull, and he's quick to point out there is plenty of time remaining in the regular season.
"We have three weeks left in the regular season and that's the most important thing is trying to get back on track here and start executing offensively and defensively and doing what we were successful at in that five-game winning streak that we had. When you look at the film and what we've done in these two losses it's pretty easy to pick out where we need to be better. It's something the guys are very aware of," he said.
The guys are focused, and they understand not only the importance of this game — yes it gets us into the playoffs — but the importance of getting us back on track offensively.
Last week, with Chris Eck out, John Ortolani went 16 for 31 against a two-man tandem for Hamilton in Geoff Snider and Matt Dolente.
Eck is likely good to go for this weekend, but Daye has complete confidence in Ortolani. "(Eck's) feeling good, but we want to make sure he's 100% before we put him on the field. You never know, you could see a two-headed monster come from us as well."

From Ganfyd
Double membrane in the abdomen. Visceral peritoneum covers some organs, while parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the abdominal wall. Where peritoneum overlaps with other peritoneum, mesenteries and the omenta are formed.
Consider the peritoneum to be a balloon. The gut develops just outside it, and is pushed into it, invaginating one side of the balloon into the notional cavity, producing a double layer and then stretching that double layer as th gut grows. The outside layer sticks to the inside of the body cavity, the inside layer sticks to the outside of the gut, the gap closes on itself in some places, and is dragged out as a double-sided sheet - the mesentery and the plumbing and wiring passes within that sheet, and more directly through the larger gaps where the peritoneum doesn't close itself about the gut at the back of (part of) the abdomen.

Hello Barbara,
Not sure if this is the same church but I think that it is the same Church
(St Thomas's?) that my Great Grandmother married in - this has a bomb that
landed during WWII into the graveyard. If you Google Navestock Church there
are some pictures of it and what happened. There are gravestones there
though ... not all over but there are some there some which are shown in the
Google Search.
I tried to find information about 15 - 20 years ago and the Vicar at the
time seemed to want to not give out information without costing a lot of
Money. I purchased a Marriage cert from GRO instead but I was trying to
find if there was any others of my family buried there.
Safe journey and enjoy your family hunting.

Subject: [Ess] My visit to the UK
Late last year I enquired about visiting Navestock, Essex, to see whether I
could get to see the graves of my ancestors, Joshua Prior(or Pryor or
Pryer) and his wife Susannah Nottage.
So the time is nearly there for my visit to England and it seems that there
is no record of the graves although I got records to the effect when and
where Joshua died.
It is a great disappointment for me, as fellow genealogist will know, that I
will not be able to see the graveyard, let alone the gravestone.

Anyone who'd like to de-stupid themselves vis a vis politics (me for instance) should do 2 things: 1) purpose in their hearts to never, ever watch FOX News including any/all FOX pundits; and 2) watch 'Up with Chris Hayes' on Saturday & Sunday morning. It is the smartest political conversation on TV, bar none.
This morning while watching it, I heard what was done to Chuck Hagel described as "a Maoist era public shaming." I didn't know what that was so I looked it up.
Definition from that scary leftist website Wikipedia: "... a form of public humiliation used by the Communist Party of China in the Mao Zedong era to shape public opinion and to humiliate, persecute, and/or execute political rivals and so-called class enemies. In general, the victim of a struggle session was forced to admit to various crimes before a crowd of people who would verbally and physically abuse the victim until he or she confessed."
I watched a genuine hero and a deeply good man be savaged by a handful of chicken @!$%# creeps who've sold their sorry souls to the maniacal right for only God knows how many pieces of silver. I was as ashamed as I remember being in some time.

The Labor opposition is prepared to help the Abbott government throw a lifeline to Australia Post, which faces a revenue crisis in its letter division, by allowing it to deliver Medicare and welfare operations.
Senior Labor figures, including opposition communications spokesman Jason Clare, are understood to have decided not to play "raw politics" with the issue after being convinced of the seriousness of Australia Post's financial woes.
But the stance could ignite a stoush with the Labor left and the union movement, which argues handing more front-line duties to Australia Post would lead to job losses and longer queues at the post office.
Acting Prime Minister Warren Truss said on Sunday that Australia Post faced a revenue "crisis" following Fairfax Media reports it will axe 900 jobs this week - a revelation that has devastated the organisation's 32,000-strong workforce.
Mr Truss said postal services should be maintained in regional areas but that it would be fair to expect city residents to visit the post office more often.
Australia Post wants to be allowed to deliver mail two or three days a week, rather than the five days required by government regulations. Customers who want more deliveries would pay more.
The company also wants to shore up the viability of post offices by delivering more government services, an idea backed by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull in March.
Australia Post has been lobbying both sides of politics on the need for changes. Private modelling indicates the company would lose $7.1 billion through to 2022-23 on its current path.
Mr Clare said: "We support expanding the number of government services provided at post offices.
"Australia Post has challenges. The number of letters it delivers every year is falling and its mail delivery service is losing money."
Mr Clare, a member of the Labor Right, supports allowing Australia Post to deliver some over-the-counter Medicare and Centrelink services, such as distributing payments or collecting forms. More complex tasks, such as case work, would remain with the agencies.
But opposition human services spokesman Doug Cameron said transferring more government responsibilities to Australia Post was "not a practical proposition".
"I don't think there are the skills or capacity in Australia Post to deliver Centrelink or Medicare services," he said.
A final position on Australia Post would have to be approved by the opposition cabinet.
About 70 per cent of the job losses will come from Melbourne.

The federal government has introduced the long-awaited final leg of tax law changes to attract foreign investors, in a move expected to boost the $1.9 trillion funds management industry to the tune of billions.
Under the new law, which is part of the investment manager regime three years in the making, foreign funds will pay no tax on earnings if a local manager is used.
"It should bolster the foreign fund interest in Australian portfolio investment," King & Wood Mallesons partner
Just 3 per cent of funds under management in Australia derive from offshore now. "It's totally disproportionate to the skill base we have," he said.
The Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation,
While the new regime has taken years to materialise, Mr Snowden expressed surprise that the legislation was tabled given the distraction of the pending election.
"There'll be a lot of relief from foreign funds because they were working off the good graces of the government that something would be done," he said.
However, Mr Snowden said there were concerns about the drafting.
One "glaring omission", he said, was that it only covered funds located in countries that had an exchange of information agreement with Australia – an arrangement to swap key taxpayer data. Luxembourg is among nations without one.
"There are a significant number of funds globally which are located in Luxembourg," he said.
"That's something that needs to be addressed in terms of trying to have the two jurisdictions work together to get [Luxembourg] on the list."
Hong Kong is another without an exchange agreement. Other nations don't have such a restriction in their equivalent investment manager regimes, including Britain, Singapore and Japan.
There is also the risk that foreign funds could lose their eligibility to benefit from the regime if they breach notification and information provisions, a requirement not seen elsewhere.
Funds must notify the Australian Taxation Office within three months of the year-end of certain basic fund information, but the ATO can ask for additional details if relevant to working out the fund's status. That poses the risk it may ask for extra information that funds are legally bound to keep private.
"There is a concern that if the information does become extensive then foreign funds might be discouraged from establishing here," Mr Snowden said. Hedge funds have already flagged their concerns with him.
The softer tax regime should extend beyond foreign funds to capture new, emerging types of collective investment vehicles used in Europe that are spreading to Asia, he said.
Financial Services Council boss
Investments in managed investment trusts have grown by 54 per cent – $33.6 billion – since January 2010, just months before a new regime for the vehicle was introduced, an FSC report found in October. It highlights the potential for softened tax laws elsewhere – like the investment manager regime – to boost investments.
The investment manager and managed investment trusts regimes were based on recommendations from former Macquarie Bank deputy chairman
Submissions on the draft law close on April 26.

FDIC Updates
The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor,
per insured bank, for each account ownership category.
The FDIC insures deposits that a person holds in one insured
bank separately from any deposits that the person owns in another
separately chartered insured bank. For instance, if a person has
a checking account at Bank A and has a checking account at Bank B,
the accounts would each be insured separately up to $250,000.
Funds deposited in separate branches of the same insured bank are
not separately insured.
The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for funds depositors
may have in different categories of legal ownership. The FDIC
refers to these different categories as ownership categories. This
means that a bank customer who has multiple deposits may qualify
for more than $250,000 in insurance coverage if the customers
accounts are deposited in different ownership categories and the
requirements for each ownership category are met.
Stay within FDIC limits and your deposit accounts are 100% safe and secure. EDIE makes it easy. EDIE (Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator) is easy to use. To save time, have with you a list of your deposit accounts at your bank and the amount you have in each account. If you have joint accounts or trust accounts that name beneficiaries, have those names, too. Just go to www.FDIC.gov/EDIE and click on the Use EDIE Now button to get started. Enter your information into EDIE. It's secure. And in just a few moments, you will know if you are safely within the FDIC coverage limits. If not, EDIE can guide you to information that will help you.

MANAMA: Kuwait Finance House (KFH) has been named the Best Islamic Bank in the Middle East for the second consecutive year by emeafinance magazine.
It received the award for its leadership in the Islamic banking world, in addition to its premium services and products and its regional and global successes.
"This is another proof of the success of Islamic banking, and the outstanding performance of KFH, which is considered to be the bank spearheading this field," said KFH financing sector acting general manager Emad Al Thaqeb.
"KFH has played a pivotal role in turning Islamic banking into an important financial sector that is highly demanded around the world.
"It managed to prove that there can be an economic alternative in the global economy through its local and overseas operations, which reinforces its efforts in maintaining such a leading position as the best Islamic bank in the world," he said.
"KFH is one of the banks that has received the most awards that cover all fields," he added.
"KFH has received positive ratings from international rating agencies, and has also gained the trust of clients, which is the most important award."
The London-based magazine gave the same award to KFH last year, in addition to the Best Investment Bank in Kuwait award due to its success in various fields and continuous growth in its businesses.
A spokesman for the magazine stated that observers are keenly monitoring KFH's expansion and growth plans.
"KFH focuses on the local market, and is keen to have a strong foothold, especially in major projects that have developmental objectives, while at the same time prioritising the Gulf market without losing track of its international expansion plans that include operations in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Canada, the US, Turkey, Malaysia, Bahrain, Dubai, Jordan, China and other countries in south-east Asia," he said.

wikiHow to Pretend to Be Happy
Three Parts:Putting on a happy faceBeing activeSharing your feelingsCommunity Q&A
Are you feeling a little (or a lot) down? If this isn't a frequent problem, it's okay - everyone gets the blues from time to time. Pretending to be happy can be one way to cope with a situation that is getting your down temporarily, or to avoid people asking you difficult questions. It can also be a great way to start improving your mood, just by focusing on wanting to be happy instead of staying stuck in the doldrums.
Part 1
Putting on a happy face
1Smile. Smiling can release endorphins into your brain, which in turn can help you to feel better.
- Thinking of something amusing can help.
- Even forcing a smile can cause you to feel better; just be careful not to let it appear as a smirk!
- In some cases, it can help you to smile if you realize that smiling in front of someone who really upsets you can unsettle that person if they want you to be unhappy.
2Laugh. Find something funny to watch online or something funny to read that is short and amusing. Or, think of something that makes you happy, whether it is a joke someone recently told, a person that makes you laugh a lot, or a fond memory in general. As with smiling, laughter can help to cheer you up.
3Listen to music to let out some of your feelings.
4Trust yourself and never feel low. We all suffer from personal and office problems. Ensuring yourself every time that you are the happiest person is unusual at first but it really helps. Not believing in yourself leads to very harmful diseases and no one wants to live a life which has nothing but suffering from problem until your last breath.
Part 2
Being active
1Carry out your usual routines. A lot of unhappy feelings come from feeling overwhelmed about all the things you have to get done. Thinking about them doesn't get them done, so try getting stuck into the things bothering you and in the doing, you will likely start to feel better.
2Do small actions that improve your sense of well-being. Tap your pencil on a table, drum your fingers on the edge of your seat, daydream, stretch out, hum quietly. Do whatever you do on your average good day, do on this day.
3Do things you enjoy doing. Keeping up appearances is a lot of effort and can cause you to feel even less happy. By participating in something you love to do, the feelings that come from being in the flow and enjoying yourself will be genuine and unforced. Give yourself the space and the time to get involved in such things more often and you won't need to pretend to be happy!
4Try spending some time alone for a while. It's a mini vacation and you will discover your own very self. It will help you to grow stronger with your emotions and handling matters which are a bit difficult. Make a personal diary; it can be helpful for sure.
Part 3
Sharing your feelings
1Try to talk to someone. Sometimes it is just better to stop pretending you're happy and start letting out some of your sadness or anger instead. Talk to someone you trust and vent. It might a close friend or family member, or maybe a counselor. Letting your feelings stay bottled up will cause you to feel more unhappy and can harm your overall health in the long run.
2Be kind to other people. This can help you feel happier even though you don't feel great. Reaching out and helping others is a good way of shifting the focus from inside yourself to seeing how other people are coping (or not) and doing your best to give them a helping hand.
3Feel the brightest like the sun. We all know sun is not the brightest star in universe, but it's the one which gives us light after a dark night. Once you stick to this example, you will never feel low in confidence. Don't admire people until they are showing you the correct path because after this, you have to make yourself happy and then the others will try to become an example which everyone who knows you will feel. This is not you; this is someone great.
4Consider how often you're pretending to be happy over actually being happy. This can give you a clue to how much of your life is about putting on a front rather than living authentically. If you think that there is a massive imbalance, this might be a telltale sign that something isn't right for you, whether it's your job, your studies, your relationships or something else. If this is the case, it is time to focus more on the source of your pain and do something constructive about managing, reducing or removing it from your life.
Community Q&A
What do I do if a friend still knows that I'm upset?wikiHow ContributorThat means he is your real friend. Only real friends can understand what's going on in your mind. Never hide your feelings from such people.
Why do I need to pretend to be happy? This seems neurotic.wikiHow ContributorIf you pretend to be happy you might brighten someone's day if they're otherwise going through hardship, such as when caring for a terminally ill family member. If you pretend to be happy, you might actually end up feeling happy and attract authentic happiness. The problem you might be having is that you are viewing this as a static state, an "all-the-time" thing, which is not what is meant. On occasion, it can be useful to pretend that you're happy. To do so all the time daily would be soul-destroying and unrealistic, so it's not about constant pretense, just about those times when a little faked happiness could improve things temporarily.
How do I fake a smile? My fake smiles are never genuine enough to trick my friends.wikiHow ContributorThe trick is to use your eyes. When a person genuinely smiles, their eyes kinda squint a bit. Since this happens as well when you laugh, try fake laughing in front of the mirror. However, you might consider talking to your friends about why you're not happy, it might make you feel better.
How can I pretend to be happy when an opportunity that should have been handed to me is given to someone else?wikiHow ContributorIn this case you are allowed to be upset, however you should also try to be happy for the other person. Congratulate the person publicly, but feel free to complain in private to a trusted friend or vent your feelings in a journal. Remember, this is a disappointment, but there will be other opportunities.
Is it bad to pretend?wikiHow ContributorSometimes yes, sometimes not. If you're very depressed, you should seek help instead of just pretending to be happy, but if you're just having a bad day, pretending might cheer you up and help avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Something has been bothering me for the past 4 months. I've used these tips to try and stay happy, but my friends suspect something (two specific friends are part of the problem). What should I do to convince them?wikiHow ContributorTry to talk to them, and share what's bothering you. It's much better for you, both mentally and physically, to express your feelings rather than keeping them bottled up inside.
How do I pretend to be happy at school?wikiHow ContributorI am a person who is very sad and depressed on the inside, but I hide that because it is easier to just pretend to be fine than to explain to everyone why I am not. Faking it is very hard, though. Just be a little crazy sometimes and force a smile. The more you fake a smile, the more real it will look. And the more real it looks the more happy you will be. I know, it's a bit of a dumb method, but it might help. Also, try to actually be happy. Do things that make you feel good or happy. Hang out with positive people or join something you enjoy doing. Doing something fun, or being around fun people, will ultimately make you happier.
Is it bad to pretend to be happy when I want people to like me?wikiHow ContributorNot necessarily, people tend to be attracted to happy and positive people, but you shouldn't have to fake it all the time. People who care for you want to know if you are unhappy so they can help.
I just can't seem to look happy; people find out. Any special tips?wikiHow ContributorTry to solve your problems and sort out your life. Acting happy won't work in the long run. Talk to someone about what makes you sad.
Why do I hate every aspect of myself and find the need to pretend to be happy?wikiHow ContributorThis self-hatred may stem from past experiences that have traumatized you, and it is advisable that you see and talk with a therapist to try and resolve these issues. It is not normal to hate everything about yourself, and so as long as you are like this, it is impossible to achieve true happiness. You absolutely do not need to pretend happiness, and this is meant to be for short-term. In your case, this is not what you need since it won't get better until you get help.
What if you need to pretend in front of your family, Will they he fooled by out?
- If someone else is talking to you, just nod and keep a light expression, there is no need for you to make comments and risk giving off your true negative disposition.
- Know that one day you won't have to pretend.
- Daydream: going into your personal world can release you from your sadness or anger for a while.
- Take an hour of a nap-chill out.
- Laugh for no apparent reason. It makes people think that you're not sad or down, they might find it humorously crazy.
- It's better to just talk to someone and get your anger or sadness sorted out.
- When alone, try laughing hysterically in the mirror, soon you'll really be laughing. It may sound crazy but it works. Just don't do it in public, because people may think you're insane.
- Try hard to not make your "smile" look forced. It will be obvious to other people if it is, so either get practicing, or avoid smiling altogether.
- If at all possible, avoid talking or associating with anyone who was involved in making you unhappy. It may also be best to avoid association with other people in general until you get over yourself.
- Pretending to be anything else other than what you're feeling may be necessary for a short period of time, such as putting up with a family gathering once in a while that drives you crazy. However, pretending all of the time is exhausting and will inevitably lead to you giving vent to your frustration or resentment when you least expect it.
- Be very careful about being happy for someone else's growing achievements when you actually resent them. If this person continues to achieve things while you're left behind, it can cause a great deal of unhappiness for you. It's a good idea to sort out your resentment early on, and to get your own life's purpose sorted too.
- Bottling up emotions is not good for your health. It might be a sign of strength initially but after doing it too long, it's a bad habit that is hard to break because you've convinced yourself that being a martyr or suffering is noble. It isn't; you deserve better. Ultimately, a strong person ceases to pretend.

Joe Hoefgen, the former city manager for Palos Verdes Estates, has been tapped as the acting director of recreation and community services for Redondo Beach.
Hoefgen, 47, on Monday began his new job, which includes overseeing operations of Seaside Lagoon, the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center and the city's senior citizen centers. He replaces Maggie Healy, who will return to her former position as assistant to the city manager.
Hoefgen, a veteran municipal manager, said his past experience managing community affairs in California coastal cities made him a good fit for the job in Redondo Beach. He will earn $9,500 a month.
"It goes back to some of my time in Del Mar when I was in charge of community services," Hoefgen said. "It's managing programs, managing people and managing projects. It's a great experience. I'm working within an area I've really tried to specialize in over time."
Redondo Beach City Manager Bill Workman said he is hoping to fill the position permanently by January. Hoefgen said it was too early to say if he would be a candidate for a permanent post.
Workman said he reached out to Hoefgen to fill the job temporarily and touted his municipal government background.
"Joe has experience working both in Del Mar and Palos Verdes with cultural affairs and recreation and community service affairs," Workman said. "That's one of the reasons why I sought him out to serve. He's a good character guy and somebody who can quickly pick up the exciting things we're doing."
Hoefgen's hiring comes two months after he was fired as city manager of Palos Verdes Estates. Although the unanimous decision by that City Council has never been explained publicly, Mayor John Rea said at the time that Hoefgen's termination was "without cause," meaning there was "no suggestion of criminal conduct, wrongdoing, unsavory behavior."
At the time, Hoefgen said the decision, made during a closed door session on June 18, came as a surprise.
Workman said he was not concerned about the circumstances surrounding Hoefgen's departure.
"I've done background checks and reference checks and I'm very confident that Joe is of high character and can perform at the highest level working for us on a temporary basis," Workman said.
A Kansas native, Hoefgen was hired in 2007 as the top administrator in Palos Verdes Estates. Prior to working on The Hill, he spent 15 years with Del Mar, rising to the assistant city manager's post.
He began his career in municipal government in Texas, working for the cities of University Park and San Antonio. The married father of two grown children lives in Long Beach.
Healy has served for a year as Redondo's temporary recreation and community services director, replacing Mike Witzansky, who held the job for five years before becoming public works director.

The Peoples Bank of Chinas (PBoC) internal website is hardly a riveting read, but one section tells you more about the countrys leading banks than a thousand analyst reports. Tucked away under Previous Governors is a list of former Beijing central bank chiefs, running from 1949 to 2002.
At first glance the page contains little out of the usual, but a second look reveals an apparent programming glitch under the name of Hu Lijiao, the banks third governor. Hu took office in October 1964 but never officially left: in August 1966 he was quietly removed from his duties and sent to work in a labour camp in southern Guizhou province. Only after the maddest years of Chairman Maos Cultural Revolution had passed, seven years later, did the PBoC reform, this time under the watch of the fourth governor, Chen Xiyu.
Chinas financial system has changed out of all proportion since then, but one parallel remains: the identity of those pulling the levers behind the scenes. In the 1960s, power lay squarely in the hands of Mao Zedong. By the second decade of the third millennium, the power had been spread, but thickly, and only within the claustrophobic confines of the Chinese Communist party.
Those who run Chinas leading banks the chairmen and chief executive officers in the higher party echelons do so only in name. The real power lies with the nine-man Standing Committee, headed by president (and party general secretary) Hu Jintao, and a cabal of 370 old men comprising the Central Committee. When these two bodies tell the banks to jump, they jump. And when they tell their banks to lend, they lend.
So when Beijing, fearing that a global recession would cause upheaval and riots at home, announced a $600 billion fiscal stimulus package in November 2008, party leaders fulfilled their promise of not dipping into the countrys $2.4 trillion foreign reserves, by telling their pet banks to lend heavily.
The banks acquiesced, disbursing an avalanche of loans to leading state-owned enterprises (SOEs), local municipal authorities, and major domestic infrastructure companies, many of them divisions of the countrys 1,407 city councils.
Leading lenders such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and Bank of China (BOC) banks also answerable, in theory, to a coterie of global investors shelled out $1.4 trillion in new loans in 2009. They are on track to disburse a further $1.1 trillion this year and $800 billion in 2011 more capital lent by any countrys banking sector in recorded history.
Two disturbing consequences follow upon Chinas lending binge. The first is a pressing need among lenders to shore up their eroded capital base. The other is more worrying and inevitable: a likely new surge in non-performing loans (NPLs) that will stretch Chinas generous state finances to the limit.
Despite posting brisk profits for the full year 2009, the countrys banks desperately need capital. Directed by party leaders in Beijing, they spent the first quarter of 2010 tapping the Shanghai and Hong Kong markets. In March, Merchants Bank, widely regarded as the countrys best-managed lender, raised Rmb18 billion ($2.63 billion) from mainland investors via Shanghai; the bank is also seeking to raise Rmb4 billion from investors in Hong Kong.
By end-April, two more lenders are expected to have raised fresh capital. Bank of Communications (BoCom) has applied to raise up to Rmb42 billion in Shanghai and Hong Kong, while China Construction Bank, the countrys third-largest lender, is planning to bolster its capital base by selling Rmb75 billion of shares, also in the countrys twin financial centres.
Even ICBC, Chinas largest bank by assets, is seeking to raise cash, by selling around Rmb25 billion of bonds convertible into yuan-denominated A shares in Shanghai.
Analysts are mixed on Chinas dash to raise cash leading banks need a shot of capital to restore eroded balance sheets, but it also underscores the aggressive lending policies pursued by leading mainland lenders in 2009, and highlights the rigidity with which they remain controlled by the party.
Banks can raise capital in New York or London in the most troubling environment, but in China the CSRC, the countrys securities regulator, halts any capital raising when it gets worried, says Bill Stacey, a director at Hong Kong brokerage Aviate Global. Chinas banks arent allowed to go to market when they want, or to allow their rights issues to be underwritten. China has to loosen up the strings here they will hate it as it undermines their power and their patronage, but they have to give the banks more autonomy.
All the while, Chinas forgotten bank bides its time, waiting for the chance to tap domestic and global capital markets for the first time: Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), the last of the big four lenders to sell shares to the public, is hoping to complete a $2030 billion initial public offering (IPO), probably in Shanghai and Hong Kong, once its rivals have raised enough cash to tide them over.
Reginaldo Cariaso, executive director, equity capital markets, Asia ex-Japan at Nomura says: Agricultural Bank of China is the big IPO from China that everyone is waiting for over the next 1215 months.
Chinas looming NPL crisis is, however, of far greater concern. The countrys banks have wiped sour loans off their books twice before, in 199899 and again in 200405. But this time it is different. On the previous occasions, leading Chinese banks were wholly state-run organs; now they are listed institutions with foreign shareholders, subject (in theory) to higher levels of scrutiny and transparency.
Moreover, the party has never subjected its banks to such a stress test. Much of the lending during 2009 was parcelled out in a slapdash fashion to local city councils and state firms, which in turn pumped cash into local vanity projects likely to generate little substantive return.
Thus, NPL rates could be even higher than the bad loans pumped into state projects in the 1990s, much of which simply lined the pockets of party officials. Some analysts reckon up to one-half of all new 2009 and 2010 bank loans will go sour, costing the state between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion, a bill that would shred Beijings foreign reserves.
Analysts are mixed over how bad the NPL situation will become. Anthony Lok, managing director, research at BOCI International in Hong Kong, believes the situation is manageable. Loans grew at a steady rate throughout the 2000s, he says. The only difference came in 2009, when China had a total loan blowout. But one year of excess spending does not make a bubble. The situation is not as bad as some people are making out.
Arthur Kroeber, managing director of Beijing-based consultancy Dragonomics says: An NPL problem is brewing. Of the loans made between 2008 and the end of 2010, one dollar in six will turn into a bad loan that is beyond the banks ability to mark down internally.
The question is whether it is financeable and I believe the answer is yes, he says. But this only works if between 2011 and 2020 China doesnt create any more bad loans or at least it only creates new bad loans that can be provisioned against.
Kroeber believes the most compelling question is whether China can wean itself off an almost unique process of boom-and-bust. Will China stop doing this? If they dont, then in 10 to 15 years time China will look much as Japan does today, full of awful debts that cant be dealt with. I am more optimistic here, as China has a much better track record than Japan at facing up to problems. But they certainly need to work out how to do things better in the future.
Others are concerned at the impact that higher lending will have on Chinas lesser lenders, those who have disbursed loans to second-rate infrastructure projects over the past 18 months.
Gao Jian, vice governor at China Development Bank, the countrys chief policy lender and one of the countrys best-run institutions, says he is most concerned about the impact on Chinas smaller banks. Rising NPLs will hit smaller lenders, he says. We have seen this situation in the past with NPLs, though there are some economists based in Hong Kong who have forecast substantial increases in NPLs in coming years, but I dont think that will happen.
Others arent so sure. Victor Shih, an assistant professor at Northwestern University in the US, rose to notoriety in early 2010 after calculating local Chinese government debt at around $1.7 trillion twice the official estimate and one-third of Chinese GDP. The rise, he said, was largely due to vast quantities of capital pumped into city authorities and SOEs by profligate banks banks that will come to regret their largesse.
There is a lot of de facto bad loans that are being rolled over by banks, he says. Besides special mention loans troubled loans marked down as failing rather than failed one can look for how many short-term loans are being extended as medium- and long-term loans. This suggests that many problematic loans are being extended.
Party leaders in Beijing are already kicking up a fuss about wayward bank lending, and seeking to rein in credit growth. But the truth is this is what the country does.
China may not be under Maos thumb any more, but for the countrys leading banks now sucking in capital from local and foreign markets while toiling under a burden of new bad loans, both legacies of Communist party edict the world is surprisingly similar to the 1960s, and the dog days of Hu Lijiao.

When the New York Jets signed LaRon Landry last offseason, they knew there was a good chance he would end up being a one year rental. LaRon Landry was looking for a chance to prove that he was healthy and still one of the best safeties in the NFL. The Jets were desperate for help on the back end. The Jets took a leap of faith that LaRon Landry would stay healthy and he repaid them with a Pro Bowl season. Now it's Landry's turn to be paid and it won't be with the Jets.
LaRon Landry played like one of the best safeties in the NFL last season for the New York Jets and now is looking to get paid elsewhere. The Jets aren't going to be able to meet his contract demands unless John Idzik is able to pull off some major salary cap wizardry. Rich Cimini of ESPN has reported that LaRon Landry will be seeking a salary in the range of $6 million per season.
LaRon Landry is definitely worth the money. If it was viable for the Jets to meet that number, there's no way they would let him walk. It's a shame that the team is in such a position, but poor drafting and some bad gambles have left the team in salary cap hell. That means they have to make some tough decisions. This one really isn't a tough decision, more like a tough reality.
The Jets ranked second in the NFL in pass defense, one season after their secondary was shredded by opposing tight ends. More than anything, personnel changes at the safety position made the difference. Those additions were LaRon Landry and Yeremiah Bell. While some were concerned about LaRon Landry's coverage skills, he provided an intimidating presence for receivers trying to go over the middle and putting themselves at risk of getting caught in his crosshairs.
LaRon Landry finished with 99 tackles, two interceptions, four forced fumbles, eight passes defensed and a touchdown. He was recognized by his peers and the fans, voted into the Pro Bowl. The Jets will need to find someone to fill his place in the lineup, but it will be tough to truly replace him.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell closes play against Big South Conference South Division opponents Saturday in a 5:30 p.m. tip-off at Charleston Southern.
The Camels (10-14, 5-5) have dropped their last 4, including a 58-52 setback Wednesday against North Division leader High Point.
Darius Leonard scored 12 points and Antwon Oliver added career highs of 10 and 8 rebounds Wednesday, but CU shot just 39 percent from the field in the loss to the Panthers.
Campbell is 3-7 on the road this year, 2-3 at Big South teams. Charleston Southern (12-8, 7-2) is 7-3 at home, 3-1 vs. the Big South in the CSU Field House.
The Buccaneers won their first 7 Big South games, but dropped their last two outings -- a 74-73 OT loss to Gardner-Webb at home before Wednesday's 73-53 setback at Coastal Carolina.
In Conway, CSU made only 31 percent of its shots and hit just 6-of-32 (.188) threes. Arlon Harper led the Bucs with 21 points, but the rest of the team made only 10-44 from the floor (.227) as CSU fell out of 1st place in the South Division.
Following Saturday's game, the Camels return home to face Liberty Wednesday (7:00 p.m.).
Campbell at Charleston Southern Notes:
- Charleston Southern entered the week ranked 2nd in the country and atop the Big South Conference in 3-point field goals made per game (9.6). Forty-four percent (520 of 1195) of CSU's field goal attempts this year have come beyond the arc. By contrast, Campbell hits an average of 3.96 triples per outing and only attempts 13 per game.
- In conference games, the Camels lead the Big South with 8.5 steals per outing. Trey Freeman is averging 1.8 thefts (4th) against BSC foes, while Darian Hooker has 1.7 (5th) per game.
- Darian Hooker tied his career high with 18 points against UNC Asheville, but was limited to just 3 until the final 6.9 seconds against High Point and ended with 8 points.
- Charleston Southern leads the league in scoring offense in conference (74.7) games, but was held to its lowest total in BSC play at Coastal.
- Campbell (North) and Charleston Southern (South) were the pre-season favorites to win the Big South's two divisions. However, the Camels have played their last 9 games without injured pre-season all-BSC pick Darren White (21.8 ppg).
- Campbell and Charleston Southern have squared off twice in Big South Conference Tournament championship games. The Buccaneers scored a 64-63 win in the 1987 title contest at Savannah, Ga. Campbell defeated CSU 67-53 in the 1992 final at Anderson, S.C., en route to the Camels' first NCAA berth.
- Charleston Southern's Field House holds the distinction of being the smallest capacity (881) home court in the Division I ranks. Campbell's old venue -- Carter Gym -- was the country's most intimate men's basketball setting (947 seats) before CSU reconfigured its building. CU moved into the 3,095-seat Gore Arena before the 2008-09 season.
- The 3rd-longest win streak (7 games) in Charleston Southern history came to an end with a 74-73 OT setback vs. Gardner-Webb. In that game, CSU trailed 64-54 with 90 seconds left, but rallied to tie.
- Charleston Southern teammates Saah Nimley (15.6 ppg) and Arlon Harper (14.9) are the 2nd-highest scoring tandem (30.5 ppg) in the Big South this year behind UNC Asheville's duo (32.2) of Jeremy Atkinson (17.4) and Keith Hornsby (14.8).
- Campbell and Charleston Southern split 2 games last season, the first time the teams had met since Nov. 1997. The Bucs earned a 91-73 victory at Charleston before CU answered with a 62-57 win at Gore Arena. Trey Freeman led all scorers with 22 points (10-10 FT), plus 7 assists at Buies Creek.

Filing this bug for the record. There was thread on n.p.m.mathml asking how scripts can detect MathML-enabled builds. The thread is: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&th=6ceed7fc31a0262e&rnum=1 When MathML becomes an integral part of Mozilla, it is conceivable that this might still be useful since some embedders may choose to disable it. Following the code done in nsGenericElement::InternalIsSupported(), the fix for this could simply be to add recognition of something along the lines: DOMImplementation.hasFeatures(feature = "MathML", version = "" | 1.0 | 2.0). This is in line with the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-Core-20010605/core.html#ID-102161490
Comment 1•
16 years ago
nsGenericElement::InternalIsSupported() doesn't seem like the right place to put this, that method should be for *DOM* features only, there's no MathML DOM is there? I'm happy to expose this *somewhere* in the DOM, but I'm not sure the DOM feature query mechanism is the right place for it.
There is now a MathML DOM (in the latest V. 2.0): http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/appendixd.html There is a gray area in distinguishing between the MathML-DOM (lately introduced in v2.0) and MathML-layout (which is all that was in MathML 1.0 that we aim at for now). I have been wondering myself about the suitability of DOMImplementation.hasFeatures() for both cases. The DOM as known today wasn't yet there when MathML 1.0 was sitting there as an unimplemented recommendation in mainstream browsers.
Comment 3•
16 years ago
I think this would be nice to have for 1.0, because a significant number of builds from that branch will have mathml enabled.
mozilla.org itself is shipping builds that may or may not be MathML-enabled (Mac vs Others). jst, did you got a definite idea where the detection should go?
Comment 5•

rbs: Do we support the MathML DOM?
No, that's why it is uncertain how to fix this bug. (Note that the proposed MathML DOM cited in comment #2 is non-normative)
I had this idea of leveraging on document.load()... but curiously, the security manager won't let me use the data: protocol. Will attatch the test I did.
Created attachment 120262 [details]
testcase to check if MathML is enabled
The idea is to create a XML document and load some of those weird MathML
And if there is no parsing error during load, conclude that MathML is there.
I am wondering if there are security risks in doing: document.load("data:text/xml, some-weird-entities-from-the-MathML-DTD") if the security manager allowed the data: protocol, it have been a good enough fix for the time being.
Comment 10•
15 years ago
Filed bug 201903 about the fact that document.load("data: protocol) doesn't work. With that, this bug could have an interesting standard-compliant solution.

All MoCo builds now have MathML enabled, right? Would it be appropriate to WONTFIX this now?
Comment 12•

(In reply to comment #11) > All MoCo builds now have MathML enabled, right? Would it be appropriate to > WONTFIX this now? Yes, I agree. Moreover if we consider other browsers, Opera supports MathML and implementation is underway for WebKit (Internet Explorer still requires a plugin though). I suggest closing this bug if nobody complains.

DEP posts radiation study plan
The state Department of Environmental Protection has released the details of its plans to study radiation associated with deep-well oil and gas drilling.
The agency last week posted several documents on its website detailing the planned research, including an outline of the scope of work, a field sampling plan, a quality assurance project plan and a project checklist.
Gov. Tom Corbett in January ordered the study, which DEP will conduct in conjunction with Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc., an Atlanta-based firm with offices in Beaver. The study will examine radiation throughout the gas production process, particularly the storage and disposal of flowback water and drilling waste.
Landfill monitors have detected low levels of natural radiation in Marcellus Shale drilling waste, DEP said.
"Based on current data, regulations and industry practices, there is no indication that the public or workers in the oil and gas industry face health risks from exposure to radiation from these materials," DEP said. "The study is aimed at ensuring that public health and the environment continue to be protected."
The study is expected to take 12 to 14 months, DEP previously said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/2/2014 (1260 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I was a single mama and student with three young children in 2011. We enjoyed shopping whenever my student allowance cheque came in, making the bus ride to Winners on Pembina Highway.
This cheque day, we went to the bank and got cash, my account not allowing a bank card until I had a history with my bank. I had to carry $800 in cash for rent, groceries and Winners.
So my three kiddies and I shopped in Winners for about an hour, filling a cart. When it came time to pay, my backpack with my wallet was nowhere to be found.
I was in such shock. My oldest daughter and the head of security spent an hour looking for my backpack, but found nothing. It was obvious to me someone had stolen it. Extremely disappointed, we gave up.
After hearing my dilemma, many were sympathetic, but one person went above and beyond. A few days after, a woman handed me a note with $100 wrapped in it.
My heart was overwhelmed by this act of kindness, but the note had no name. The person not only assisted in a time of need, but did not want any recognition or thanks for this. All I was asked to do was to pay it forward.
After the feeling of anger, that someone would steal from someone who obviously needed it, it took only one other person to remind me there's always hope. Thank you to my anonymous angel.

More Kurtz Dish: Lauer Disses Katie, CBS Echoes Her 'Bite Me'
Now, a little more on that new Howard Kurtz book on the anchor battles over egos and ratings. Rachel Sklar at the Huffington Horror House has more dish from Kurtz's book. "Despite the careful seeding of info, the book itself still remains under wraps, but from the amount we've surveyed (about 7,500 words) it looks to be a thoroughly engrossing, engaging and more than occasionally juicy read." She summarized:
However effective Couric was in the morning, her partner Matt Lauer privately had doubts about how she would do in the 6:30 timeslot — and said so, telling a friend that he didn't think the evening newscast played to Couric's strengths. Oops. Now that's in a book.
Before the ABC anchor chair was assigned, Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson were in constant contact about it, offering each other the position and volunteering to back off. It was decided that Charlie would take it — and then Sawyer had the idea to do the newscast together, like the partners they'd been for eight years. Sawyer was filled with enthusiasm. Gibson wasn't into it.
Sklar also offered actual excerpts from the Kurtz book, such as:
The Real Reason Diane Sawyer Turned Down The Anchor Chair: Katie
It had been clear for some time that Couric was headed to CBS to take over Dan Rather's old job. If Sawyer were to take the plunge as the second woman to be the solo anchor of a nightly newscast, she realized, all the press coverage would be about dueling divas. Never mind that they knew each other only slightly. It would be like that New York magazine cover every day, a relentless focus on what they were wearing and similar trivia. It would be like every movie that featured two women battling it out. Women made great copy, that was the way the popular culture worked... She did not want her evening news tenure to be viewed through that prism. If she went to Darfur, the stories would be all about how she was trying to demonstrate that she was more interested in the plight of refugees than Couric was. She would be cast in a catfight. Couric would be the featured player and her role would be to juice up the story. No matter what she did journalistically, everyone would suspect her motives. No, it just wouldn't work. This was Katie's moment. Sawyer would not thrust herself into that particular spotlight....
"Good Night And Bite Me": Katie Couric's Big Mouth, Fracturing Team
Everyone at CBS, it seemed, was buzzing about Couric's exceedingly candid interview with Esquire. . She said she hated the word panties. She said that sometimes she barely remembered to put on deodorant. She said she had a perfect life until she turned 40, when Jay died. She said she was open to love but that it was difficult at 49 with two kids and a very public life. She said there were a lot of "circling vultures" out there ready to eat her alive. She said she played the piano and cried when she was depressed.
Couric also complained about Esquire's editors having said in a cheeky column called "Obscure Women We Love" that they no longer felt they knew the anchor. Her response: "You don't know me any more? Bite me." For days, CBS reporters and producers, at the slightest provocation, walked around inviting a biting from each other. One jokingly wondered whether the official motto of CBS News had gone from "Good night and good luck," to "That's the way it is," to "Bite me." .....
Brian Williams Slides To Second (Blames Everyone Else)
[A]lthough Nightly had lost half a million viewers from the previous year--even more than Couric had shed, as CBS executives kept reminding reporters--Williams was convinced that none of it, not a tenth of a percentage point, was his fault... [W]hat was killing the newscast, he thought, were the budget cuts at the network's ten O-and-Os, or owned-and-operated stations. At every station he visited, he could still smell the gunpowder from people being shot... All these cutbacks, Williams believed, were slicing into his lead-in audience in the major markets in a way that coincided with his ratings slide, as if someone had flipped a switch. Local executives at these stations kept asking him to fix his newscast, but Nightly, in his view, was not the problem.
Williams took his case to Jeff Zucker. "These cuts are killing me," he said. He also appealed to Jeff Immelt at GE.
"You're the most important single asset to the company," Immelt assured him. It was nice to know that he was even more vital than lightbulbs, Williams thought, but that didn't make the problem go away. Immelt and Zucker both said they would look into the matter, but Williams was not optimistic.
Williams thought Nightly was as good as ever, but this was really starting to sting. The horse-race coverage was maddening, especially since most television writers never bothered weighing the merits of the newscasts. It was always numbers, just numbers.
And for Williams, the numbers were personal. The ratings slide was being hung like an albatross around his neck. Every news story on the subject began, "Williams has lost X hundreds of thousands of viewers..." Did people actually believe that he had been on top for two years and suddenly became an awful, unwatchable presence?
Hmm. Did Williams ever ponder that this unfair scenario was an albatross he hung around President Bush's neck routinely? That Hurricane Katrina suffering was all Bush's fault, and his failure to take responsibility only underlined his lack of a common touch?
By the way, in his weekly Washington Post chat, Kurtz argued that Katie Couric can do more than the air-kiss interview with Hillary Clinton:
Katie vs. CEOs: Do you agree that the executives at GE and other companies are very nervous about anchors like Katie Couric looking too liberal? Or was it less about ideology and more about not being too confrontational with the people currently in power? I don't think Katie's ever interviewed Hillary the way she interviews Condoleezza...
Howard Kurtz: In fact, Couric did a reasonably aggressive interview with Hillary Clinton (along with Charlie and Brian) on the day that she announced her candidacy. I don't know the extent to which corporate executives were nervous about Katie looking either liberal or overly confrontational. But I can report that she certainly felt they were. [Emphasis mine.]
Brent Baker didn't exactly agree at the time.

Hey there, time traveller!

A TAILINGS pond breach like the one at a gold and copper mine in British Columbia is unlikely to happen here, an executive with a Manitoba gold mine says.
Gestur Kristjansson, president of the San Gold Corp., which owns the gold mine in Bissett, said while the tailings pond at Imperial Metals' Mount Polley copper/gold mine in B.C.'s Cariboo region was held back by a large earthen dam in a mountainous region, his mine's tailings pond relies on the "natural topography" of the Canadian shield area east of Lake Winnipeg.
"They (Imperial Metals' tailings pond dikes) are higher," Kristjansson said Thursday.
"We work with the province closely. I would view any breach as a very remote possibility."
Kristjansson was responding to a Facebook post by Court of Queen's Bench Justice Murray Sinclair in which the judge commented about the breach of Imperial Metals' tailings pond Monday.
