The city of Milaca and Mille Lacs County have added a new piece of criteria for tax increment financing and tax abatements to help a business that has to rebuild due to a catastrophic event.
The County Board approved the change at its March 18 meeting, which occurred two weeks after the board discussed the idea during a workshop in light of the Coin-Tainer fire in Milaca.
Coin-Tainer is a major business whose manufacturing building in the Milaca industrial park was destroyed by fire Jan. 15. The plant employed 63 persons to mainly manufacture paper containers for holding coins. Since then, the owner has kept a number of the employees still supplying orders for customers through an arrangement with a competitor and plans to rebuild in the Milaca industrial park.
The specific change in the tax abatement policy reads that the following criteria is added for the county to evaluate when determining if it should grant a tax abatement: "In case of a catastrophic event, where both an existing building and the jobs have ceased to exist in the county."
A few other changes were made as well, such as who the application must be addressed to and who reviews it. But the major change was the catastrophic-event criteria.
County Board Chairman Phil Peterson had said during the March 4 workshop that it is very costly to construct a new building and buy equipment to start up a manufacturing plant.
The city of Milaca, during its March 20 meeting, amended its business assistant policy as it relates to tax increment financing, tax abatements and other assistance programs.
While the city policy addressed different aid available to businesses, its policy did nothing to address situations that develop when there is a local incident like the Coin-Tainer fire, City Manager Greg Lerud said.
The city added a clause to its policy: In cases where, due to a catastrophic event both the existing building and the existing jobs have ceased to exist in the city of Milaca, the city will consider using a business assistance tool to assist private developments.
City, County adjust policies after Coin-Tainer fire

A striking black-and-white color scheme, deeply textured stitch pattern, and a simple, but bold shape are the height of fashion.
The brioche ribbing in this design hugs the body to keep out the chill. Simple or minimal designs like this are good candidates for highly textured and dramatically colored yarns. Knitting it in classic black and white keeps it elegant.

FWIW I think anon editing should be edited (by revert was without
 signing in, even).

 I was hoping for more something like a spam detector on the content
 triggering a CAPTCHA. But I don't know if this exists for mediawiki.

"THE FIRST DUTY of the mistress after breakfast is to give her orders for the day, and she naturally begins with the cook.
ON ENTERING THE KITCHEN, invariably say, "Good morning, cook" (a courtesy much appreciated below stairs), go into the larder—do not give a mere glance, careless or nervous, as the case may be, but examine every article there; never let anything that displeases your neat eye pass: it is much easier to correct as you go along, than to overburden a maid with directions or reprimands. Do not allow any shy fear of strangers, as new servants of course are, to interfere with the careful discharge of your duties as a wife and mistress of the household. Look in the bread-pan and see that there is no waste. After all joints a good basin of dripping ought to be in the larder.
IN ORDERING DINNER it is best to write down what you intend having; for instance, one o'clock dinner, "Cold beef, potatoes, greens, apple pudding;" six (seven or eight) o'clock dinner, "Julienne soup, fish, roast fowl, gravy, bread sauce, boiled bacon, browned potatoes, spinach, plum tart, custard pudding. Another good result from writing down the dinner; it keeps both mistress and cook up to the mark in seeing that every proper accompaniment to a dish is served with it."
The first edition of Mrs. Beeton's book was published when she was only twenty-five. Unfortunately, she died before for turning thirty.

Kris Wilson scored the first touchdown of the Ravens-Texans game. Who else but a tight-end?
With Rob Gronkowski catching three TDs for New England on Saturday and his partner Aaron Hernandez catching and running that would be enough for this to be the weekend of the tight end.
But then you have to toss in the heroics of Vernon Davis who helped propel the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC title game against a Saints team that also got a great game from Jimmy Graham.
Both scored two touchdowns and of course Davis scored the game winner with seconds left.

Hi all, just wanna share my Toyota Corolla LE 1.3 M/T (AE80) pictures from the day I got it until now. Was bought by my late grandfather in 1983.
Mid of 1997, the car was changed to A/T gearbox & power steering due to my grandfather was too tired to drive M/T. After he was too old to drive, the AE80 was often driven by anyone & was left to my uncle to take care of it.

1997 - Installed A/T 3 speed & power steering
mid 2000 - Installed custom bumper, side skirt, rear lip & repainted
end 2000 - Installed ICE
end 2001 - Installed 13" rims
mid 2002 - Installed 15" rims, Pivot Baby timer, Volt & Vakum meter & piller box

Second Full Trailer for 'The Legend of Hercules' Starring Kellan Lutz
by Ethan Anderton
December 13, 2013
When the first trailer for The Legend of Hercules starring Kellan Lutz was release, it went by the title Hercules: The Legend Begins. But apparently Summit Entertainment liked the new title better. If it feels like this film is being marketed very quickly, you're right. The first trailer just arrived over a couple weeks ago, and now a second full theatrical trailer is here. The film was picked up for distribution and set for a very early release swiftly, so the film is getting pushed fast and hard before arriving in just under a month. It still looks generic, and we doubt Lutz has the power to make this a success, but that's just January for you.
Here's the second trailer for Renny Harlin's The Legend of Hercules, originally from Apple:
The Legend of Hercules is directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2), who also wrote the film with Daniel Giat (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee), Sean Hood (the new Conan the Barbarian) and newcomer Giulio Steve. In 1200 B.C. Greece, a queen gives birth to a son, fathered by Zeus, who is destined to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king and restore peace to a suffering land. But this prince, Hercules (Kellan Lutz), knows nothing of his real identity or his destiny. He wants only the love of Hebe, Princess of Crete, who has been promised to his brother. When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: flee with his true love or fulfill his destiny and become a true hero. Summit releases the film on January 10th, 2014.

What is the worst fault of toilet paper?
43 Comments on "What is the worst fault of toilet paper?"
Much of it is too flimsy. Is there anything worse than the 'finger poking through' trick?

I second that, TBW.
Of course if we didn't have flimsy TP, we wouldn't have the "the last time you got a piece of ass was when your finger broke through the toilet paper" joke.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other, I guess.
What do you mean you didn't see it? It was right next to the toilet!
Bad kitty! Bathtubs are NOT litterboxes!
A combination of not tearing properly and being far too thin. Which leads to fingers across the dirty asshole.
They have tastings of all kinds of food and drink in supermarkets - why not TP trials in them as well?
The voice of sanity
Thunderbox: I can see it now...The scene Wal-Mart. Coming around the end of an aisle you spy a sample lady at her post,a pyramid of TP. She smiles,"Would you like to try some Wally Wipes TP ? It's on special,aisle 4, and I have coupons for $1.00 off a 12-pack,too."
"I'm game!", says you.
She tears off a few sheets and smilingly directs you to a roped-off area with 3 stalls.
So, are you feeling Shameless or Shameful?
Will you pro-duece?
It`s the way to go Mouse, I`d be up for it.
All they need to do is set up their stall by the toilets and offer their various wares. Advertise in-store a couple of days beforehand and the shoppers will be ready to download both turds and TP quality feedback.
Dave needs to campaign for this on national radio and TV.

I like the above comments regarding marketing techniques. I've always thought that another good technique would be if the TP makers would make a deal with one or several of the laxative companies whereby the laxative companies gave you coupons for TP when you purchased their product.
The TP standoff is a great idea, but would you really want to be the person who has to administer the "blind-wipe-test" comparison?
I had to vote "other" and you know godamn well why....hard to put your finger through a cat....

I really don't understand the thin as shit TP (pun pardon) that you find at work and pubic toilets. You just end up using two or three times as much to get your bung clean and try to avoid stank finger. So how are they saving money with this worthless TP? The only thing I can think is that no one would steal it.
What's so funny 'bout poop, love, and understanding?

I hate dealing with the half-ply TP at the gym. What makes it even worse is the high humidity in the locker room and toilet stalls. So I have damp half-ply TP. Ew.
GGG: I took no offense.... I gave one of my cats back to nature 6 years ago. He's probably down to just a skeleton now; not sure how wiping with bones would turn out.
GGG! Why haven't I received my Official Apology in the mail yet???
My vote went to too thin. I hate having to use massive quantities of the stuff to avoid reeking filthy hands.
And it burns, burns, burns -
The ring of fire.
And it burns, burns, burns -
The ring of fire.
I had to vote for other because my options weren't on there. Well, not exactly on there. The tearing thing was one of them. I hate TP rolls that stick together so you have to waste half the roll to get it open.
I hate toilet paper that leaves dingleberries in my ass and snatch. Some of those brands I end up tearing out of my ass for hours afterward.
The other problem I have is with bargain toilet paper. People buy that stuff to be cheap but end up paying twice as much for twelve rolls as they would for six rolls of Scott. And three months later the Scott will still be there. The others run out in a day or two for the reasons listed in this poll.
What if everyone farted at once?
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I agree with turdfan - pretty well all TP I use does the job for me. What is anoying is when they fill up the dispenser so full and it's so crammed in you can't pull off a few sheets without tearing it into little bits. Ok - I'm clumsy and try to be too quick!!
I chose the tearing peeve, but what really pisses me off is the height requirements they use to mount the toilet paper dispensers to the bathroom stalls in public restrooms. By code, the center of the roll is required to be X number of inches off the ground. ( I don't know the exact measurement.)
With a simple tissue holder, it's no big deal, but now that they use those mammoth rolls of toilet paper the size of truck tires, I can't quite reach the bottom of the dispenser without impaling my wrist and hand on the spiky teeth used for cutting the paper. And it's worse if the stall is tiny and my leg is pressed up against that damn thing.
I had the misfortune of cutting myself rather badly in the stall at a restaurant. I came back to the table bleeding and trying not to cry - mostly because I was so frustrated. The waitress saw me sniffling and sent the manager, who gave me a free meal.
Anyway, I think that they need to change the mounting requirements to allow for jumbo dispensers. Until then, I check for the height and pull off the paper - a lot of it just for spite - ahead of time.

If the tp is going to dissolve mid-wipe, what's the point? You might as well just use your hand. That's my vote for worst toilet paper fault. With as few people as there are out there that actually wash their hands after using the bathroom, everyone should, at least, have toilet paper that creates an effective barrier between poo and hand. Either that, or someone needs to invent disposable wiping gloves.
I voted for "other", but nothing to do with cats. I hate the double rolls because there are fewer sheets and that means running out often, which really sucks if you forget to replace the spare roll. I like Scott 1000 sheet rolls because they last and it is reasonably soft, not too hard on hemmorhoids! Actually the CVS brand is as good as Scott, but cheaper. The soft stuff comes apart in layers, leaving the top layer stuck to your asshole. Another pet peeve is in some public bathrooms they have dispensers that only allow the roll to turn a little bit, and then it locks up. You have to unravel the paper around the roll. This can be a real pain in the ass, especially if you have a million-wiper.
I actually figured this out once using various packages of Charmin:
The best value (amount of usage time vs. amount you paid) is the 12 pack of double rolls.
The single rolls actually have the same amount of tissue, but you end up using more faster. I felt it was due to the fact that the roll fits nicely in your hand, and this makes it easier to roll more out in a hurry (and who wants to roll it back up when they get too much).
The mega rolls cost more when you figure out the price of 4 regular rolls vs. 1 mega roll. Plus the damn things don't fit in my home TP dispenser (I end up ripping off one or two squares at a time until it's worn down enough to roll freely).
The double rolls cost just a bit less and last the longest. The size of the roll discourages overrolling, and they fit better on my bathroom TP dispenser.
This experiment was done over a 6 month period and I used only regular Charmin (none of that aloe scented stuff...it's makes my butt itchy).
What do you mean you didn't see it? It was right next to the toilet!

Disposable wiping gloves would be the shit! *pun intended* I often thought they'd come in HANDY when changing diapers and frequently getting baby poop on my hands. Even just a mitt would suffice. And they could be scented or unscented! Textured or untextured! Medicated! Come in convenient packs of 12 or econopacks of 1200! Oh.... we're onto something!

I think for there to be TP nirvana, one must come up with absorbent that also cleans well. Why not have Wet Ones TP. Then you KNOW your asscrack is clean deodorized and ready for the next episode. Of course this would have to result in a sort of sealed TP spool BUT I think its worth looking into.

If I have any gripe with TP, it'd have to be tearing: sometimes it doesn't tear and the roll spins out of control, unspooling a foot or two onto the bathroom floor. I'm a buncher, so I buy the cheap stuff and wad it up: works just fine for me. At home it's not a major hassle, but it IS a real pain in the ass in public restrooms that have those enormous rolls. The roll is so heavy and hard to turn that I'm lucky to get 3 sheets off the roll before it tears.
You know you have cheap toilet paper if you can identify chunks of wood -- clearly visible in the paper -- by species. Have you noticed how the really thin stuff is always on a hard to spin roll and keeps breaking off every few sheets. Somethings rotten in skidmark. I buy my paper by the case at Sam's Club. It's a good deal but you have to have storage space for a huge box.
"Can you spare a square?"
"No, I don't have a square to spare."
my vote went for the roughness issue (due 2 my 'roids and my love of spicy foods and alcohol), altho that was only because my main concerns werent listed... as much as i hate the real cheap stuff that loves to rip clean through and give u the brown finger treatment, my main peeve is with any TP that tears on the top layers only causing the dingleberry effect. maybe i wouldnt have to worry about that if i had no ass hair, but alas, thats not the case. so hair in the crack combined with the fact that i work in the heat and humidity of the south florida summer means the ass sweat and ass hair, along with the shit itself, combine to dampen, weaken, snag, tear and roll that cheap TP all up in there, causing a uncomfortable tangle in my nether region after several wipes. which is why at home i use scotts, it may not me as soft as my acorn might want it to be but it doesnt tangle... cuz those hairs really hurt when theyre pulled. also it last a long time, as opposed to those really cheap rolls that run out every 2 days
oh man, i feel soo much better. i think i lost a few pounds... dont even think about going in there for at least 20-30 minutes. dont worry, i left the fan on.

dw, sounds like you need a bidet, your life would improve. USA bidet, Biffy, Go-Bidet etc. Why suffer, besides you'll cut your tp roll usage dramatically. (If you're a man you can use 1 roll for several weeks, there's no helping women, they'll use a roll a day regardless)
"Can you spare a square?"
"No, I don't have a square to spare."
the bidet would only work if they put one in at work too... but yeah a cool stream of water would definalty soothe the sore acorn. untill then ill make due with my scotts and my victoria bay (the cheap stuff at work)

PPP, I'll have you know I am a woman and have used the same single roll of TP for the last two weeks. And that's with others in the house. Poo to you! :-)

TSV, do you have an industrial roll dispenser installed in your bathroom at home? If not, what's your secret? I'll pass it on to my wife, she is the same way with paper towel, once I caught her drying the dishes with them.

We're the opposite at our house. GottaMan is an uber-consumer of all kinds of products. I'm the one always touting conservation.
I haven't kept track of how much TP we each use, though. Interesting experiment coming up!
Depends on the brand. Some brands are prone to breakthroughs, others are too scratcy, while others leave pesky but bunnies.

My biggest problem with toilet paper is that it's hard to make it move across the "affected area." I have somewhat sticky poops, and when I take toilet paper, I use 4 sheets to start with and fold them into the size of one. The first pass is usually fine, but by the third one, when I apply the paper, it just sticks to the remaining poop, and I have to do a semi-scrunch to have enough to hold on to for a decent pass. Apparently the coefficient of friction is just enough for the paper to stick to a messy anus while not enough to stick to my fingers to move back and forth for the wipe. I always manage to get clean, but it can be a little frustrating.
I am a pretty adaptable guy. The thinner the paper, the more I use per wipe. It's not rocket science. My only gripe is if there is none.
Glue Poo: An extremely thick and sticky variety of fecal matter that adheres to the sides of a toilet bowl and refuses to flush even after repeated attempts. This rare breed of poo typically rears its ugly head around the holidays, and is usually created by the combination of grandma's cheesy casserole followed by massive amounts of alcohol.

A comment by U.K. Labour Party Deputy Leader Harriet Harman has caused a stir within the international red-haired community. Harman, under criticism, has apologized to a parliamentary colleague, Liberal Democrat Danny Alexander, for calling him a "ginger rodent," referring malignly to Alexander's, dare I say, quite exquisite hair color and skin pigmentation. —JCL
The Guardian:
Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman was forced to apologise today for branding a senior coalition minister a "ginger rodent".
Harman admitted she had been "wrong" to use the description about Liberal Democrat chief treasury secretary Danny Alexander in a speech.
A statement issued by Labour said: "Harriet Harman has today apologised for her comment about Danny Alexander and says it was wrong."

Jonathan plays Joe, a boy whose family is forced to sell its beloved dog, Lassie, when his dad loses his job as a miner.
He talked to Newsround Online about the film.
I did an audition at drama school then got called back and the next thing I knew I had got the part. I was dead excited about it.
I was in a short film called Nits which won the Turner Classic Movies' Classic Shorts award last year and I was presented with an award at the London Film Festival by Lord Puttnam.
It was really great because I got to meet them and work with them. I watched them acting and copied the things they did when they were acting which was good. They were all really friendly.
They were really well behaved and good to act with. They could do all sorts of things from hand signals, like bark or lift their paw. It was great. I didn't really like dogs before. I was frightened of them but before filming started I went over to my uncle's house and saw his dogs. He has Weimaraners and I got used to dogs. Now I really like them.
No most of them could do the tricks after just about three tries. Mason was the main dog who played Lassie - he was lighter than the other two. They were his stunt doubles, Carter and Dakota. I liked working with them, they were really well behaved.
I did a scene where I had to climb out of a window and go to the train station and that was great because I got to climb out of a window. But it was cut from the film. My favourite bit that's in the film was when we were with all the puppies. There were seven of them and they were really small and jumping all over each other.
When I had to cry in the film, they put this stuff in my eyes and it made my eyes water. It did sting a bit too.
I enjoyed it all. There wasn't any part of it I didn't like.
When I got the part we bought the DVD. I didn't think it was as good as our new version because it's old fashioned.
I thought it was really good, better than I thought it was going to be. I didn't cry though as I knew what was going to happen.
We had a tutor and worked quite hard during the six weeks' filming. We travelled to Ireland and the Isle of Man with my mum and dad taking it in turns to be with me.
When I was born I had to have the arteries leading to my heart swapped around, as they were the wrong way round. Because of this and a leak in one of my heart valves I'll have to be monitored for the rest of my life.
I also have something wrong with my eyes - optic atrophy - which can make it difficult for me to see. When I did Nits I had to learn the lines off by heart as I couldn't read them, but it wasn't so bad for Lassie.
At school I use large print and I have a closed circuit camera device, which lets me see around the classroom. Quite often I have it pointed at the clock to see when it's going to be lunchtime!
I'd like to try to carry on acting then I'd like to try and get a job. I want to be a chef because I like making food and eating it. Gordon Ramsey is my favourite chef and my best dish is spaghetti bolognaise.
I like cooking and I like playing cricket.
She plays the part of Cilla - a young girl sent to live in the country because of the war and whose rich grandfather, Lord Carraclough, buys the clever pooch for her.
The 10-year-old told Newsround Online about the experience of making the film.
Some people came to my school and we had some auditions and I got down to the final three. Then I was called back and down to the final two, with another girl from my school, Laura. Then I was finally chosen and when my mum told me I was really, really excited and I didn't even go to drama school or anything!
It was a little bit frightening to begin with. I was scared. But I read the script and thought about how Cilla's character would be so I could imagine how to act.
The director also gave me tips to help me. He gave me extra words when people were going to interrupt me to help me and talked through the emotions Cilla might be feeling. It was also hard trying to get your head at the right angle. They'd say: 'Move your head left!' and I'd move and they'd say: 'No, the other left!'
Before I did Lassie I was quite scared of all dogs. I was terrified when I first saw Lassie - they are quite big dogs.
But it was really nice and interesting working with all the animals in the film.
I had to have lessons to learn how to get on and off a horse too as I'd never really been on a horse properly.
My favourite animal was Lassie, who's played by three dogs. Mason was my favourite - he's darker - then Carter is lighter and Dakota has kind of droopy eyes. You can't notice the difference in the film but after a while I could tell the difference.
I really like dogs now although I am still a bit scared of bulldogs at the park and would like to have a Shetland Sheepdog, which are like Rough Collies like Lassie but smaller.
It depended on the trick that they were trying to get the dog to do. Lassie has to climb over a tall wire kennel fence and that took an age, with the fence leaning over, and a ledge put in, and the trainer being on a stepladder waving food at the dog to make it jump.
If the dog just needed to look one way or another or move its head, the trainer would move a bit of chicken - they used lots of bits of food!
My favourite part was the bit with loads of puppies - not when they were really tiny, as we had to just pretend that they were there in that bit, but at the end when we were running across the fields with them. They were really cute.
The whole thing was a really good experience too.
I've seen the film and thought it was really good but the Scottish landscape was a little funny - it was filmed in California!
I've seen the film and I felt really excited. I cried even though I knew the story completely.
I missed three weeks of school but we did have a tutor and did enough work to get by.
I would like to do one or two more acting things in the future but I don't want it to be my job. I want to be a zookeeper, as I love working with animals. I've always loved animals and I loved working with them in Lassie.

Pat Cash hesitates to anoint Nick Kyrgios as a future Wimbledon champion. "I am not ready to give him the kiss of death," laughs Cash, the 1987 winner, having just seen the most compelling case for Kyrgios to become the next Australian great.
Which is not to say that Cash was not as impressed as everyone else who witnessed the remarkable comeback/survival narrative written on the court two turf at the All England Club. Indeed, Cash had told his mates on Thursday morning they could do worse than place a few pence on the explosive young shot-maker from Canberra – and, then at two-sets-to-love down, regretted having ever mentioned it.
Still, after five sets, nine match points saved and just less than four hours, the only regrets were Richard Gasquet's.
"It's exciting. He's got panache. He's an excitement machine," said former doubles great and Australian open chief executive Paul McNamee of Kyrgios. "He's got the game to be top 10, there's no doubt about that. But he's always had the game.
"As people say (Grigor) Dimitrov is going to be the next No.1, down the road, then you can certainly say that Nick Kyrgios will be in the group right there, as part of that group. Whether it's top five, top 10, I'm not sure. As they paint the picture about Dimitrov, you can now start painting it about Nick Kyrgios, I think.''
None of that is a surprise but, still, confirmation was emphatic. There is everything to work with, and so much to like. If the physical development and dedication match the audacious shot-making, the love of the big occasion and the spotlight, plus the ability to perform under pressure, great expectations will continue to rise.
"Remember when Andy Murray came on the scene and started winning matches, and then physically started to do the work, and then he went from being a very good player to a great player?" says former world No.19 and Davis Cup coach Wally Masur. "Novak Djokovic was a very, very good player, started doing the work, he became a great player. Rafa Nadal just seemed to be a physical beast at 16, and he was ready to go.
"So all Nick has to do is tick that physical box, and that's a pretty relentless thing that you have to do, day-in day-out, which will take a couple of years, to be honest. But if he ticks that box, the sky's the limit.''
There is still muscle to be built, and miles to run into the former basketballer's lanky legs. Cash agrees it is rare for a grand slam title to come without a sustained period in or near the top 10, but he also rates Kyrgios capable of the same type of sudden rush to a grand slam title as Juan Martin del Potro achieved in defiance of the grand slam formguide at the 2009 US Open.
Cash also recalls a conversation with Murray in the locker room at Roland Garros this month in which the current Wimbledon champion asked which of Kyrgios or his great friend Thanasi Kokkinakis was the better prospect. Cash would not reveal his response; only the consensus about the imposing size of Kyrgios' already-adult game.
"Nick will be pushing against the top players for many years," said Cash of a player whose ambition reaches as high as it can go. The current world No.144 has not set a time-frame, just a destination.
"It's just a long journey,'' Kyrgios said. "There's going to be a lot of ups and downs. I've just got to do all the right things, work hard, keep having great effort. Hopefully, if you marry that up with your ability on the court, anything is possible.''

Shares in Land & Houses, Thailand's top homebuilder, jumped more than 7 percent to an eight-year high after a broker raised its profit and revenue forecasts for 2013-2014 to reflect higher land prices and bright property outlook.
Land and Houses shares were up 7.54 percent at 10.70 baht, hitting 10.80 baht at one point, the highest since January 2005.
The stock has risen 13 percent over the past three months, outperforming a 7 percent gain of the broad index, helped by strong demand for property, low interest rates and rising purchasing power of home buyers after an increase in the minimum wage.
Trinity Securities said in a note Land & Houses, which has a large land bank, should benefit from an increase in land prices, which should boost its selling prices and improve profit margins in the next two years. It kept its 'buy' rating on the stock. 1058 (0358 GMT) (Reporting by Khettiya Jittapong in Bangkok: Editing by Prateek Chatterjee) *************************************************
09:53 STOCKS NEWS THAILAND-Nomura starts Siam Cement with buy; concrete growth seen Nomura initiated coverage of Thailand's biggest industrial conglomerate Siam Cement Pcl with a 'buy' rating, citing strong cement business and improving petrochemical cycle. The broker set a price target of 530 baht.
Siam Cement shares fell 0.5 percent to 444 baht on Thursday.
"The company's cement business has had strong performance in 2012 driven by government's massive infrastructure spending ... However, SCC underperformed Siam City Cement despite SCC's superior EPS growth in its cement business," it said.
Siam Cement shares rose 30 percent in 2012 versus an 80 percent surge of Siam City Cement Pcl in the year. Siam Cement share price performance was hampered by a poor performance of its petrochemical business in 2012, Nomura said.
"Given an improving petrochemical cycle expected in 2013/14F and estimated continued growth of 22 percent in the cement business over the same period, we believe SCC's share price should re-rate toward that of SCCC," the broker said. 0942 (0242 GMT) (Reporting by Viparat Jantraprap in Bangkok; Editing by Anand Basu)

Every week, we'll choose three, highlight them, and then hook those three users up with some highly prized Street Team Points! Simple as one two tee.
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! … (Actually, it's going to be Friday and Saturday, May 16-17 2008, but you get the picture.) Get ready to rev up those creative engines and heed the need for speed because your shakin' bakin' pals at Threadless have announced the THREADLEMANSS 48 Heures Derby! Woohoo! 2 days worth of the most thrilling, electrifying, and nail-bitingly chaotic action to ever take place on a 40 foot thin strip of pliable wood.
Trophies will be given to the top 4 finishers in the event, and a trophy will also be given to the "Best in Show", as selected by a panel of judges from Threadless.com. Additionally, gift certificates to Threadless.com will be given to the winners of the above mentioned categories: First Place will receive a $100 gift certificate, Second receives a $75 gift certificate, Third receives a $50 gift certificate, Fourth receives a $25 gift certificate, and the Best in Show will receive a $50 gift certificate.
UPDATE: Apparently we weren't very clear about what exactly this is. The event is modeled after the similar Cub Scout event, the Pinewood Derby. Participants obtain a car kit which looks like the picture below. Any kits such as the ones found here will work just fine!
Then, each participant modifies the kit by sawing, carving, painting, etc to look and perform as best as it can. Here are some examples on Flickr. The cars are then raced on a track like the picture below. We have an official track at the skinnyCorp office.
For the Threadlemanss we are allowing people from all around the world to enter the race without being present for the event by shipping the car to skinnyCorp. You may enter as many cars as you wish. If your car passes inspection it will be raced and considered for the "Best in Show" award. If the car does not pass inspection it will not be raced but will still be considered for "Best in Show." More details on how to enter and such can be found here.

ACT Supreme Court Justice Richard Refshauge will be excused his duties for the second time in 12-months to allow him to deal with a backlog of cases awaiting judgment.
Attorney-General Simon Corbell will announce on Monday that retired judge John Nield will return to the territory as acting judge while Justice Refshauge takes an undisclosed amount of time away from the bench to deliver judgments on outstanding cases.
"The addition of Judge Nield will permit Justice Refshauge … to complete reserve judgments and ensure that hearings and other court matters are not unnecessarily delayed," the Attorney-General said.
Mr Nield, a former NSW District Court judge, has previously sat as acting judge of the ACT Supreme Court in 2010 and again during the
12-week court "blitz" of 2012 which saw 100 criminal cases listed and 115 civil cases finalised.
The appointment of Mr Nield follows Mr Corbell's rejection of an official complaint made by the ACT Bar Association in December 2012, four months following the "blitz", about the time it took Justice Refshauge to hand down judgments.
Fairfax reported in late 2012 that Justice Refshauge's civil caseload included more than 20 decisions reserved for longer than 18 months and, at the time, some criminal trials were not listed until mid-2014. The Attorney-General dismissed the complaint and committed funds for another acting position.
In a statement due to be released on Monday Mr Corbell says Mr Nield will hold the acting judge position for a six-month period. But on Sunday Mr Corbell could only confirm Mr Nield will begin work in the Supreme Court on Monday, February 11.
"As to how long the judge is utilised by the Supreme Court will be a matter for the Chief Justice," he said. The ACT Law Society welcomed Mr Nield's return. "It's a good temporary appointment as Justice Nield is very experienced with the ACT court … he will be a great asset,'' ACT Law Society president Noor Blumer said.
''Extra judges or judicial officers will be of great benefit in the next year or two to allow the judges that we have bring their reserve judgments up to date."
Mr Corbell played down calls that there was a need for a fifth Supreme Court judge.
He said the government would be monitoring the effectiveness of a case management system to be implemented when the 2013 legal year starts on Monday.

The robotic glove has helped improve the lives of many stroke victims by advancing rehabilitation. The robotic therapy helps restore motor skills after a stroke occurs. How does the robotic glove work? It starts when a person has a blood clot that blocks the blood from reaching the brain. Brain cells die when the brain does not get its oxygen and nutrients. According to Discover Fit and Health Journal, 12 million cells die during each minute of blood loss. Every minute the brain does not get oxygen; the brain loses its ability to control the body's movements. This can leave stroke survivors unable to move fingers, arms, or legs. In many cases the stroke victim becomes handicap and dependent on others.
Stroke survivors are often responsible for completing their own therapy. They participate in fingering exercises at the doctor's office that will help them regain the use of their motor skills. Doctor office visits can be very expensive and time consuming. So, doctors give stroke survivors instructions on how to practice at home. The problem that doctors identified is that stroke survivors are not motivated to complete their therapy at home.

The capital invested by retail investors in managed funds has collapsed in the December quarter, threatening the health of the wealth management industry.
While capital inflows to all retail products outside cash management accounts have increased 8 per cent in calendar 2010 to $107 billion, retail investors have pulled nearly as much out of the system.
This puts the net fund flow at just $152.4 million for the last three months of calendar 2010 – a staggering 87.2 per cent drop from the September quarter.
Data from managed funds and insurance industry research company Plan for Life showed that net flows in the latest quarter were the lowest since the depth of the global financial crisis in the March quarter of 2009, when there was a net outflow of $1.37 billion.
The industry could return to a net outflow position when the March quarter results are released in six to eight weeks, as industry experts are not anticipating a turnaround soon.
"The outlook for 2011 at this stage looks very similar," Plan For Life product development manager Rael Solomon said.
"World events haven't helped, with sharemarket plunges – and then recoveries – likely to keep investors nervous, particularly those in retirement mode."
Although compulsory superannuation has channelled capital into the industry, it is the non-super discretionary investment flows that have dragged on the result, with the amount of cash being taken out from this segment jumping more than 16 per cent in the past year to $8.13 billion.
If the downtrend continues, Wilson HTM Priority Growth Fund portfolio manager Sandy Grant believes it could become a significant issue for the industry.
"The consequence for the industry is that there will be less money around in revenue, and when that happens there is potential pressure on costs," said Mr Grant.
"That means there could be staff reductions and industry consolidation, and it is the smaller funds with sub-$50 million [in funds under management] that will feel it more."
The industry collects two types of fees – base fees and performance fees. (Fund managers generate the majority of their income from base fees, which are driven by asset prices and net investment flows.)
Some industry players have pointed out that Plan For Life's figures can vary from what the major fund managers report and shouldn't be taken at face value.
However, Perpetual's senior manager for group corporate affairs, Yves Noldus, acknowledged that the trend in the data was probably a good reflection of what has been happening on the ground.
"Flows have been very muted, particularly in the equity asset class, and that has been an industry phenomenon dating back to the global financial crisis [GFC]," he said.
"It's hard to say when there will be a turnaround in sentiment, but I think you will need to see a lengthy period of stability before people feel more confident."
Larger fund managers that offer a wide range of products such as cash management and fixed income options will also weather the downturn better, according to Mr Noldus.
The re-allocation of capital to safer options will not decrease total funds under management, although safer investments tend to attract lower base fees.
But market volatility isn't the only reason investors are sitting on their hands.
Risk-free deposit rates of up to 7 per cent are proving hard to resist in a rising interest rate environment, particularly after investor confidence in the industry has been so severely tested with the high-profile collapses of Storm Financial and Chartwell Enterprises.
The allure of savings products is showing up in the household savings rate, which has risen sharply since the financial crisis unfolded in late 2007.
Australian households are currently saving 10 per cent of disposable income, the highest in more than 20 years after adjusting for government stimulus payments that artificially bolstered the rate in late 2008 and early 2009, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia.
This trend is weighing on valuation of listed investment managers, such as Perpetual and BT Investment Management, observed an analyst with a leading broker who didn't want to be named.
"The worst part is that we don't know if the high saving rate reflects a longer-term structural trend," he said. "Although we made a nice recovery from the Japanese disaster, the lack of fund flows may be telling us something about where the [share] market is headed and that is why I have a cautious outlook for the sector."
It doesn't help that there is little correlation between economic conditions and growth in funds under management, which makes forecasting earnings for the sector even more difficult. But picking good stocks in this space is not difficult. Besides looking at the track records of the fund managers and the fees they charge, investors should try to buy local equity managers on a price-earnings multiple and yield that beats the broader market.
This generally means that stocks on a forecast P/E that is below 14 times and yield over 5 per cent are preferred, as these are the estimates for the S&P/ASX 200 Index.
Among the mid to large-cap fund managers, BT Investment Management and IOOF Holdings stand out as buys with undemanding multiples, generous yields of more than 6 per cent and potential 12-month total returns of about 20 per cent.

Joe Boyle was a man of action. He was a driving force, but for many years very little was known in Canada about his true exploits. Joe so often succeeded through his force of character where lesser men refused to try. In this book by Stan Sauerwein, the unsung national hero finally gets the recognition he deserves.

Spirituality Across North India
A tour being offered by PBS to its viewers
A tour of 14-nights in India departing Europe February 2, 2007 or the Americas February 1, 2007
At each step of this journey, discussions and interaction with eminent teachers will help you explore and expand your own personal connection to the unfolding essence of India. Through the eyes of our experienced guide, your spirits will respond to the sights, sounds and beliefs of a civilization that renounced materialism, and found a way to infuse spirituality into daily life. Spirituality is not just about seeing and experiencing different places of worship. Eminent teachers and speakers will inter-space the tour with five one-hour long talks given in the comfort of your hotel. These are:
February 1. Leave the Americas
February 2. Leave Europe or travel. Arrive Delhi late at night. Spiritual Journeys, Inc. representative will welcome you at the airport when you arrive late night at Delhi Airport, and escort you to your hotel. Overnight: Delhi.
February 3. Delhi. Delhi is the third largest city of India and been the capital city of a succession of powerful kingdoms with numerous fascinating ruins through the ages. We will see: Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, the house where the eight Sikh Guru went to Delhi at the invitation of Raja Jai Singh, the Bahai Temple, often called as the Taj Mahal of the 21st century, the Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India, designed as Emperor Shahjahans principal mosque, an austere yet beautiful building in red sandstone with white marble, and pulpit being carved out of a single block of marble. About 20,000 people can pray at a time in this mosque. In the afternoon, we will have an opportunity to shop. Discussion: History of Religions in India. Overnight: Delhi.
February 4. Jaipur. Experience the country-side as we drive to Jaipur. Jaipur was founded in 1727, being the only planned city of its time. There's an amazing appeal to Jaipur's colorful bazaars, beautifully laid out gardens, parks & the monuments. We will see: The City Palace, which houses a museum collection of costumes and armoury and an art gallery of miniature paintings, carpets and rare astronomical works. Hawa Mahal with fine trellis work, balconies and 953 semioctagonal and honey combed sandstoned windows. Amber Fort Complex, a classic romantic Rajasthan fort-palace which took 200 years to build, starting in 1592, climbing to its top on elephant back. Jantar Mantar, a huge stone observatory with structures to gauge altitude, and celestial clocks accurate to less than half a minute. Overnight: Jaipur.
February 5. Jaipur. Continue sightseeing and shopping in Jaipur. Discussion: "Hinduism" - the Emergence of a Religion from a Philosophy . Overnight: Jaipur.
February 6. Agra. We will drive first to Fathepur Sikri and then onto Agra, a total journey of 5 1/2 hours. Described as an epic poem in red sandstone, Fathepur Sikri owes its foundation to Emperor Akbar, one of the Great Moghul Emperors. The architecture of Fathepur Sikri is a combination of both the Hindu and Muslim styles. Later we will see the Agra Fort designed and built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 AD, Akbar's mausoleum, Sikandra and other epic sites of this great architectural era. Overnight: Agra.
February 7. Agra. Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, a sublime experience of the greatest love story ever told. Emperor Shahjahan built the Taj Mahal - the seventh wonder of the world! - in memory of his beloved wife, Begum Mumtaz Mahal. Take an overnight train to Varanasi. This travel will show you what India truly is. Overnight: On board the train.
February 8. Varanasi. Arrive Varanasi this morning and drive to Sarnath. There are four geographically important places in the life of Buddha: birthplace (Lumbini, Nepal), place of enlightenment (Bodh Gaya, India), where he gave his first sermon (at the Deer Park in Sarnath, India) and where he left his mortal body (Kushinager, India). We will see a number of Stupas and visit the Sarnath Museum. Walk around (clock-wise) the great Stupa. See the bodhi tree whose sapling was brought from a tree in Sri Lanka, whose sapling was from the original tree under which Buddha sat in Bodh Gaya and gained enlightenment 2,500 years ago. Discussion: Buddhism in India including an authentic Indian sit-down meal as you witness and participate in a variety of devotional activities. Opportunity to shop, part on foot and part on rickshaws. Overnight: Varanasi.
February 9. Khajurao. During a pre-dawn boat ride on the River Ganga we see riverside ghats and temples. We then experience the city of Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world, by rickshaw and foot. The banks of the Ganges exhibit the ultimate expression of giving up ones ego, and thus stepping closer to attainment. It is a spectacular sight to see thousands set aside their inhibitions and be just one with their Almighty. Overnight: Varanasi.
February 10. Khajurao. Fly to Khajurao. King Yasovarman began the era of temple construction around 930-1050 AD. The patient hands of the craftsmen have transformed even the mundane to excellence unparalleled anywhere else in the world for you to see amongst the finest examples of temple architecture. The depiction of uninhibited sex hints towards a liberated society in yesteryear. It is also suggested that prior to entering the place of worship, if one was attracted to sex as depicted, then perhaps one was not ready to take the next step towards enlightenment. Such depiction of sex forms only a small fraction of all the carvings at Khajurao. Overnight: Khajuraho.
February 11. Orcha. Continue sightseeing in Khajuraho. Drive to Orcha, a journey of 3 1/2 hours. Overnight: Orcha.
February 12. Orcha. Orchas grandeur has been captured in stone; a rich legacy and unique murals and paintings bring to life Hindu & Islamic palaces and temples built by its Bundela rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Jehangir Mahal to commemorate the visit of Emperor Jehangir, Raj Mahal, Rai Praveen Mahal, Chaturbhuj Temple specially constructed to enshrine the image of Ram and the palace-turned-temple Ram Raja Mandir, the only temple in India where Ram is worshipped as a king, and participate in an Aarti at dusk at this temple. Photo opportunity and Aarti at sunset. Overnight: Orcha.
February 13. Bhopal. Depart for Bhopal by train, and after we arrive, we will take a short drive to Sanchi. Sanchi is known for Stupas, monasteries, temples, and pillars built by Mauryan Emperor Ashoka (c.304 BC - 232 BC) to train monks for them to go overseas and promote Buddhism. The Four Gateways that surround the Great Stupa are considered the finest Buddhist art, and thus counter balance the massive solidity of the Stupa they encircle. If time permits, we will go to the Udaygiri caves, which were produced in the 4th century AD. Discussion: The History of Islam in India. Overnight: Bhopal.
February 14. Bhopal. In Bhopal we will see: Taj-ul-Masjid the largest mosque in the country, (and the second largest in Asia) and the Jain Temple up on a hill, overlooking the city. Take an overnight train to Delhi. Overnight: On board the train.
February 15. Delhi. Arrive early this morning. In Old Delhi see the magnificent Red Fort built of red sandstone. Within its walls are marble palaces and a grand audience chamber, the Diwan-i-Khas, where Moghul emperors held court and the Peacock Throne once stood. Opposite the fort are the black and white onion dome and minarets of the Jama Masjid, the most elegant mosque in India. Drive past Kotla Firoze Shah, ruins of an old fort of the 14th century, see the Ashokan Pillar of 3rd BC. Then visit Raj Ghat, where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948. New Delhi - the New Capital designed by Sir Edward Lutyens. Drive down the main avenue, the impressive Rajpath to the World War I memorial arch, the India Gate, and pass the Presidential Palace, the Rashtrapati Bhavan and the secretariat buildings - the center of all government activity. Visit Humayun's Tomb built in 1565 AD by his grieving widow Haji Begum, Safdarjung's Tomb, the Qutub Minar, 72 meters high and the ruins of Quwat-ul-Eslam (Light of Islam) Mosque and Delhi's most curious antique, the uncorroded Iron Pillar, which dates back to the 4th century AD.
