Companies seeking to buy earnings growth and finance deals cheaply will buoy a strong second half for mergers and acquisitions, despite concerns about rising asset valuations, an Intralinks survey says.
The virtual data room company drew on analysis of early stage sell-side deals to predict global announced merger and acquisition volumes will post an annual increase this year, the first time since 2010. The deal flow indicator suggests an annual rise of 6 per cent to 10 per cent compared to 2013.
In a separate June poll of the sentiment of more than 1000 M&A professionals, including bankers and lawyers, the prevailing view was also positive.
For the Asia Pacific region, 80 per cent of dealmakers said they expected transaction volumes to increase over the next six months, compared to 77 per cent of global respondents, the survey shows.
Those involved in Asia Pacific deals identified the energy and power sectors as the most active, and some 56 per cent expected shareholder activism would continue to increase.
"People are chasing yield and growth, but it is hard to build that growth and do it organically." Intralinks' vice president of M&A strategy Matt Porzio told The Australian Financial Review.
"Deal activity begets more activity ."
Australia continued to benefit from acquirers viewing this market as "the gateway to Asia", he said.
But the Intralinks poll also shows bankers and lawyers view climbing asset valuations as the greatest impediment to completing the deals over the next 12 months.
Intralinks accounts for more than 30 per cent of the market for virtual data rooms.
Mr Porzio said the biggest external threats to the outlook continued to be political instability and macroeconomic or financial shocks.
Locally, there is also optimism on the deal pipeline.
Herbert Smith Freehills mergers partner
"Contested deals are never a bad sign that there is a real willingness to execute transactions," he said.
Herbert Smith Freehills is working on deals such as
On activist funds, Mr Damian was also of the view they will step up their activity in Australia.
"There isn't anything to convince me that we are not going to see activist funds out here in the fullness of time.
The move from occasional local activist involvement, to global fund establishment in Australia, is not too far away."
Favourable financing markets are also conducive to transaction activity.
Australian banks sourced $US22 billion ($23.5 billion) of funding from the US market, JP Morgan data shows.
By contrast, Australian companies have raised more than $10 billion in the past three months alone from Europe.
Companies including
Easy monetary conditions, including negative deposit rates in Europe, have made the yield offered by corporate issuers very attractive to investors, according to BNP Paribas.
Second quarter earnings posted by Wall Street giants this week, highlight healthy deal advisory income.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citigroup saw their combined investment banking revenue rise 6.7 per cent in the first half, according to Bloomberg.
Locally, investors expect a first-quarter update from

text: SourceKUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, January 13, 2013 (The Star): Malaysia's Tamil Hindu community celebrates on Monday its best-loved festival, Pongal, the only festival which follows a solar calendar to mark the beginning of Uttarayana, the Sun's movement northward for a six-month period. To usher in the harvest festival, the community is buying an assortment of colorfully-decorated clay pots, wooden ladles and sugar canes.Pongal, spread over four days, marks the harvest of crops and a special thanksgiving to God, the Sun, Earth and the cow that produces milk in abundance.One of the longest celebrations in the Tamil calendar kicks off Sunday with Bhogi, when old and unused household items are burned, and the house is thoroughly cleaned to prepare for the start of a new cycle.Malaysian Hindu Sangam President R. S. Mohan Shan said the second day of Pongal on Monday, is known as Thai Pongal which marks the first day of the Tamil month of Thai. "On this day, family members gather in their homes to prepare Pongal (sweet) rice, to offer to the Sun God, in gratitude for ministering his blessings, and later serving all, followed by lunch."For Indians, it is auspicious to look at the boiling milk and when the milk overflows from the pot, everyone shouts "pongal o pongal." Then, rice, and other items like jaggery, cashew nuts, raisins, turmeric and spices are added to make the Pongal," said Mohan Shan.Mattu Pongal is the third day of celebration which includes worshipping cattle because it is believed that cattle helps give a good harvest while the fourth day is Kanni Pongal when unmarried women make pongal and pray for good husbands.

NASA Award for ESRL/GSD's Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting (TAMDAR) TeamOctober 14, 2005
At the recent NASA Aviation Weather Accident Prevention Project Review meeting in Virginia, William R. Moninger, lead scientist for ESRL/GSD's TAMDAR efforts, received an award and GSD team members received certificates for "outstanding contributions to aviation weather safety research and development."
The Global Systems Division (formerly Forecast Systems Laboratory), Forecast Research Branch, has been a central player in a NASA/FAA-sponsored program to evaluate a new meteorological sensor package designed to fill current data voids by being deployed on aircraft operated by regional airlines. The package, called TAMDAR (Tropospheric Airborne Meteorological Data Reporting), and developed by AirDat, LLC, under NASA sponsorship, measures winds and temperature aloft, humidity, icing, and turbulence. Since January 2005, it has been deployed on 63 turboprop aircraft operated by Mesaba airlines over the Great Lakes region, for a year-long evaluation.
GSD has performed several tasks to help evaluate the quality of this sensor suite and its impact on numerical weather prediction models.
- The data have been made available through GSD's web aircraft display and through GSD's Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) program to NWS forecasters and university researchers.
- GSD has implemented two otherwise identical real-time versions of the RUC model - one which ingests TAMDAR data and one which does not.
- Forecasts from these two models have been evaluated both statistically and through many specific case studies.
- Results of our studies have been shared with AirDat personnel and have helped them improve the performance of their sensors.

The Memphis Bar Association poll of attorneys on the judicial races on the Aug. 7 ballot shows 16 percent to as high as 38 percent of the attorneys participating have no opinion in many of the judicial races.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Antitrust experts say AT&T's bid for DirecTV could reap immediate regulatory rewards. Coming so quickly on the heels of a rival cable company merger – the pairing of Comcast and Time Warner Cable – makes it easier for regulators to approve both transactions because they create two counterbalanced giants in pay TV.

Re: st: stata files which can only be read on some platforms
Mon, 6 May 2013 16:19:20 -0500
Kevin Geraghty (email@example.com) asks about a Stata dataset which
he is having trouble opening in Stata 12.1:
> we have a stata dataset which can be read in stata v 12.0 but not v 12.1 (we have confirmed this on Windows, Linux, and OS X) In Stata 12.1 an attempt to read the file returns the error message:
> file not Stata format
> .dta file contains 3 invalid storage-type codes. File uses invalid codes other than code 0 r(610);
> In 12.0 it works fine.
> Smells like a bug to me. Anyone else encountered this?
There indeed is a problem, but it isn't a bug in Stata. Kevin's dataset
itself has problems. If he will send the dataset to Stata Technical
Services at firstname.lastname@example.com, they can help diagnose the problem,
determine whether the problem is mild or severe, and possibly return a
repaired version of the dataset to him.
The problems in Kevin's dataset were most likely caused by a third-party
program's Stata export or conversion routines, but could also have
been caused by an ASCII FTP transfer rather than a binary FTP transfer.
The reason that Stata 12.1 produces an error when Stata 12.0 does not is
that in Stata 12.1 we added some checks on various fields in a dataset
being read from disk to make sure they were valid. One of those
checks has to do with the type of each variable in the dataset.
Stata is checking that each variable is one of byte, int, long, float,
double, or str1 through str244. Stata 12.0 didn't check the types as
closely and thus let Kevin open this dataset when it should not have.
If Kevin's dataset had contained any 'str0' variables (which is not a
valid Stata type), the error Kevin saw would have mentioned these as
being invalid code 0 which is the most common error we see in Stata
datasets created by some other software packages' export or conversion
routines. However, the error Kevin is getting, "File uses invalid codes
other than code 0", indicates that his dataset has invalid type codes
other than 'str0', which is a bit more unusual.
Kevin might be able to glean an idea of what is going on by looking at
the output of -describe- in Stata 12.0 on this dataset. But, we
recommend that he contact Stata Technical Services at the address above
and send them the dataset for further help.

January is National Blood Donor Month. This is a time where organizations such as the American Red Cross give thanks to those who donate blood. January is also the chosen blood donor month because extreme weather causes many people to cancel donation appointments, which leads to a shortage of blood worldwide.
With blood on the mind, I recalled a holiday dinner I attended. Sitting at a table with a few colleagues, whom I had just met that night, the discussion turned to getting shots, or something medical. Actually, we were discussing tattoos and needles (I know, excellent dinner etiquette) when the conversation turned to a woman who said she hated getting shots. She mentioned how horrible it was to get her blood tested before getting married. My first thought was her husband-to-be must have asked her get her blood tested or something. (What else could it be?) I asked her if she had to get her blood taken in order to get married and she said she thought everyone had to get a blood test before getting married. This is something I had never heard of. I asked why she had to get a blood test, and no one at the table knew why.
Turns out, years ago, states passed laws requiring people to get a blood test for venereal diseases before being issued a marriage license. After a fair amount of research, I found the main reason for the mandatory testing was to check for Syphilis, which can cause humans to become sterile or infertile. Some argued that allowing people to marry and create babies infected with Syphilis could cause the extinction of the human race. Tests were also for Rubella, which is dangerous to the fetus of a pregnant woman. This blood test law has dwindled over the years, and only a couple of states, Mississippi and Montana, still have mandatory premarital blood testing.
Now that is what I call - strange.

Google itself concedes that any overnight success in the enterprise is unrealistic, yet remains fully committed to the enterprise, citing rapid growth in Google Apps' short three-year life span.
"Google Apps have only been in the market since 2007 and we've gone from zero to two million business customers," says Rajen Sheth, Google's senior product manager for Google Apps. "There's so much potential here and we're in it for the long haul."
Where Microsoft is trying to migrate its products into a cloud environment, Google is fundamentally a cloud company, says Sheth, and has gone to great pains to build extremely large data centers designed specifically for nimble Web-based applications.
"It will be tough to build up the cloud expertise that's been built into Google's DNA since day one," Sheth says.
Would Microsoft Be All In for Cloud if Not for Google?
Still, the reality of today's enterprise is that Google Apps are simply not a wholesale replacement technology for Microsoft Office, says Ted Schadler, a vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research.
"You may see enterprises move to Google for e-mail, but rarely will you see them replacing Microsoft Office with Google Docs," says Schadler, adding that Google Apps collaboration features such as Google Sites and Google Talk will likely be used only to enhance Microsoft Office.
"Google Apps will continue to have success with its collaboration and mobile features that augment Office in the enterprise. But I don't see it displacing Microsoft Office in any meaningful way," he says.
One thing is for sure though -- Google is heavily invested in its enterprise cloud play and although it may not have a critical mass behind it yet, it has forced Microsoft to adjust its entire business model.
It's worth asking: Would Microsoft be "All In" for cloud computing if there were no Google?

2008 WJC semifinals: Russia surrenders to Sweden
After a very good match against Czech Republic in the quarterfinals, Team Russia loses to Sweden the chance to play for the gold, despite a good performance by Cherepanov and Filatov.
These are tonight�s lines for Team Russia:
Tikhonov � Sayustov � Golubtsov � Kalimulin � Kurbatov
Cherepanov � Mamin � Filatov � Seleznev � Doronin
Korolev � Bodrov � Gordeev � Aleksandrov � Voinov
Milekhin � Anisimov � Kugryshev � Chudinov � Dadonov
And at the end, not even this year is good for the gold medal as Russia is beaten to Sweden in the overtime period of the semifinals.
After the shakeout in the first few minutes of the game, in which Russia has showed an interesting high level of forechecking with the first and third lines, it�s Sweden who gets the first scoring chance, with the opposition defenders out of position in the neutral zone. The puck goes to Oscar Moller on the right flank who searches for the five hole, but Bobrovskiy stops the attempt. Golubtsov is called for slashing and our opponents are on a powerplay, but nothing happens. Russia replies with the second line: after a good series of passes Seleznev finds the path thru the traffic to serve Filatov, whose backhander is stopped by Enroth. Sweden keeps doing a great job of containing Russia�s skilled forwards, because of their strong defenders corp. Also because of this, the game doesn�t take off.
At the eleventh minute Sweden can go again on a powerplay, because of a foul play by Yakov Seleznev, and hunts for the go-ahead goal. Center Berglund tries from the distance, Sergei Bobrovsky says no. Swden�s first line keeps putting up good pressure, but Moller can�t finalize the play. The teams get at even strength, but Tri Kronor keeps attacking with Kempe, and Russia has to thank his weak aim since his shot from dangerous position is wide of the net. Definitely it�s more Sweden than Russia, but in the end of the first finally also Nemchinov�s team has its chance as Cherepanov serves Kurbatov on the blue line. The slap shot is rejected by Enroth, during a delayed penalty call. On the consequent powerplay Sweden returns to be dangerous: at the nineteenth minute of play, Kalimulin sees one his weak passes intercepted by Berglund, always a threat on the ice, who gets quickly in the offensive third, and only a monumental intervene by Kurbatov to deflect his shot rescues Russia from the goal.
Not a good first period played by the Sbornaya, as the guys left too many chances to the opponents. The forwards fatigued a lot to build actions against such a strong defense.
The second period starts with Russia still with a man advantage, played well by Tikhonov but without any result. The teams get back at full strength, Hedman finds himself in the offensive third and skates towards the net, but can�t get the puck past Bobrovskiy, solid match for him so far. Sweden�s defense leaves little spaces to Russia, but when the forwards get one, they are always dangerous: during a delayed call, at the twenty-third, Sayustov gets in front of the goalie who gloves the puck nicely. Just like Bobrovskiy, Swede Enroth is playing very well. The young Swede goalkeeper repeats himself a few seconds later on a good slap shot by Alexei Cherepanov, after a chance missed by Maxim Mamin again after a pass by Alexei. The good moment for Russia expires as Yuri Alexandrov (Boston Bruins) overplays the puck thus freeing Figren to skate towards Bobrovskiy who manages to rescue his team. The game is a bit frozen by Sweden�s defense, and the Swedes again use an error by another Russian rearguard at the twenty-ninth minute, when Kurbatov serves Berglund unintentionally, good job by Bobrovskiy. Sweden insists with Figren, Bobrovskiy saves again going down to the ice.
Midway through the match Russia gets a good shift with the third line: Bodrov stickhandles and shoots, Enroth saves. Russia keeps rolling on and Aleksandrov tries the fortune from the blue line, Enroth saves again, then the defense refugees in an icing call. The moment is good for Russians as they got two other chances with long distance shots by Seleznev and Golubtsov, both stopped by the solid Swede goalie. During a later delayed call Cherepanov tries again the slapper, easy save for Enroth. The powerplay opportunity isn�t spoiled by the Russians, but with the teams back at full strength Seleznev tries the blue line shot, Anisimov gets the deflection towards the crease and he hits the post!
Swedes try to kill the momentum with Berglund, but his weak shot causes no problems to Bobrovskiy. The moment remains for Russian side, who gets back in the offensive third with the third line and scores! At the thirty-eighth, in the neutral Cherepanov searches for Filatov who smells the opportunity and skates towards the crease. CSKA�s youngster arrives in front of Enroth and tricks him out with a five hole smart move. Great goal by Russia, thanks to his top talents. A bit later Korolev gets a penalty and Sweden can start the third period with the man advantage.
Excellent second half of the second fraction for Russia, but of course it ain�t done yet.
The last regulation period starts, as said, with Sweden on a powerplay, killed by Russians. Cherepanov keeps playing on a high standard, but slowly the initiative goes to the Swede side. After five minutes of play Alcen gets on a breakaway, ugly shot, it�s wide. Sweden grows and hunts the tie, Russia tries to kill their chances with good fortunes up to the tenth minute, when Cherepanov (Aleksei�you ruined your excellent game with this penalty) hooks an opponent and gets in the sin bin. The PK starts bad for Russia as after a few seconds a shot by Moller hits the outer part of the goalpost. Berglund gets his chance not much later, Bobrovskiy saves but he has to capitulate when Andersson quickly rushes on the left side, serves Figren who gets rid of Doronin with a fake. Bobrovskiy comes out to challenge him, but the Swede manages to play it wide and scoring on the empty net. Deserved tie for Sweden as they got many chances, but should be also mentioned that Russian defense was in bad position, especially with Doronin. Not much later Backlund tries it from the distance, Bobrovskiy denies the advantage and in the other front Tikhonov sparks off and gets by a defender with an highlight reel move, but Enroth saves as the forward wasn�t in the best position to shot, too wide and with little space. In the last minute of the third Russians attack, but once again Victor Hedman, what a player, made the difference stopping all rushes of the opponents. Seven seconds to the horn Swedes could have a chance with a close range shot by Backlund, but Sayustov hooks him to a penalty, dramatically tuning down his dangerousness, allowing Bobrovskiy to make an easy save to keep the score tied. The game will be thus decided in the sudden death period.
The overtime starts with Sweden on a powerplay because of the hook by Sayustov in the dying seconds of the regulation. The team led by coach Marts tries to decide the game, but Bobrovskiy keeps his nerves and stops all the shots. At the fourth minute Seleznev rushes forward with the puck and tries twice: the first attempt is kick saved by Enroth and on the rebound shot the defender can�t convert the chance as the goalie stops the attempt nicely, with the glove. The goalkeeper repeats himself a minute later on a rush by Golubtsov. The game keeps to be on a state of uncertainty. At the sixth minute Sweden is dangerous with a couple of shots, but the defense contains the opponents. The game slows down a bit, but keeps being back and forth and thus interesting, but then at the 66:18 Doronin doesn�t manage to contain Backlund and the skilled Swede player from a sided position tries and succeeds in putting the puck in Bobrovskiy�s five hole, sending Russia to a disappointing bronze-medal final.
Alessandro�s player of the game: Nikita Filatov
Russia has a new frontman for the years to come, if he keeps playing that way. Other than an incredible puck handling skill and a superb technique, young Nikita is the player that seems to not get lost when it counts in the game, according to the mental side of this game and how well he made, despite the Russians� defeat. The goal he scored is only a part of the overall good game he had today.
A HM must be given out to Alexei Cherepanov (New York Rangers) who also played well, assisting on Filatov�s goal and more.
Other notes�
Dmitriy Kugryshev (2008 eligible), Right Wing
Grade: C
Kugryshev had a limited role in this game. Has played well his shift, but they weren�t enough to actually allow to report on him.
Nikita Filatov (2008 eligible), Left Wing
Grade: B
Excellent game by him, not only because he scored the (unfortunately) lone goal for his team, but also because he was a threat every time he (and Cherepanov) hit the ice with his cleverness and his game reading. He does know what to do when he plays.
Alexei Cherepanov (New York Rangers) (New York Rangers), Right Winger
Grade: �B-
Good game for Cherepanov as well as Filatov. His play has boosted the whole team in the second period and he deserves definitely a good mark. Always dangerous in the powerplays because of his good vision and timing, he tarnished his performance with the avoidable penalty that led to Sweden�s tying goal.
Artem Anisimov (New York Rangers) (New York Rangers), Center
Grade: C+
Works hard as usual, but he wasn�t too dangerous though. He looked well on the line with Cherepanov and Filatov, but he could have played better. I think he is a better player than what he showed today. Anyway, he had some good offensive ideas.
Yuri Alexandrov (Boston Bruins) (Boston Bruins), Defender
Grade: C
One word for him: inconsistent. He is capable of great things, but also of ugly errors, like at the twenty-sixth minute, when he overplayed the puck allowing to an opponent forward the way to the crease. The problem is that he makes at least one of such mistakes every game almost. But when he will find his way, he will be an above average defenseman, that�s for sure. He only has to mature a bit.
Vyacheslav Voinov (2008 Eligible), Defender
Grade: B-
I do think that Vyacheslav Voinov has played an above average game. Good throughout the whole match, he made two great intervenes: at the twelfth on Forsberg and a big open ice hit at the sixth minute of the overtime on Figren, a handful of shifts before Sweden�s goal. He has gained lots since last season, where he played as 16 years old his first WJC, especially on the defensive side of the game.
Maxim Chudinov (2008 Eligible), Defender
Grade: C
Same speech as Kugryshev. Like him, he is to be revised at the next WC under 18, in April.

Make Room for the Girls: Women Want Sports Jerseys Too
Contrary to the age-old stereotype, men don't have an exclusive franchise on sports fandom. We see advertising images of guys sitting at home in front of their television sets, rooting on their favorite teams, or sitting in sports bars with their eyes trained on TV sets over the bar. Sports commentators are almost exclusively men, and the first woman reporter who did an interview in a locker room caused a huge controversy.
Breaking out from the pack in women's sports apparel is actress Alyssa Milano, known for her role in the WB's "Charmed" and for her love of baseball. Not only does Alyssa Milano have season tickets to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but she also has her own MLB blog. Moreover, she's gone to the next level and has designed a line of women's MLB apparel. Called "touch," her line features fan wear that exudes femininity.
For example, the "touch" women's criss-cross white tank top features a shelf bra with a screened logo in the center of the chest area. The scoop back features criss-cross spaghetti straps that give the top its feminine appeal. Her baseball jerseys are tradition with a twist: the white body and colored 3/4-length sleeves may be old school, but the rouching detail at the hem on the side seam is purely modern. Alyssa Milano's spaghetti top features tie strings at the shoulders, while her short-sleeved hoodie features a zipper, contrast stitching, and the team logo near the bottom left hemline. Other jerseys accent short sleeves with glitter stripes.
There's no doubt that women's fashion sense is making a splash in the sports world. Replica storm jerseys, fashion jerseys, pink ribbon jerseys, and glitter jerseys are giving female fans one more thing to cheer about!

Audit finds nearly 400 of Pittsburgh's old parking meters are missing
The Pittsburgh Parking Authority can't account for hundreds of decommissioned meters and has failed to maintain "proper control" of inventory it could sell for reuse or as scrap, city Controller Michael Lamb said Tuesday.
Lamb said he's not sure what happened to about 380 old meters, but he has turned his findings, contained in an audit of the authority, over to Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. for review.
"It's clear there wasn't proper control over that process," Lamb said.
Parking Authority Executive Director David Onorato said he disagrees. He disputed details contained in the audit, including the number of coin-operated meters the Parking Authority has switched out for computerized ones that accept credit cards and require users to punch in their license plate numbers on a keypad.
"We did not remove 3,800 meters from the street like the audit says, nor did we give (the auditors) a report that says that," Onorato said. "We removed 3,500 meters, and they're all accounted for in the warehouse."
Zappala's office said it's too soon to say what could come of the review.
Lamb's auditors also reviewed the authority's performance, contracting and residential parking permit enforcement from 2011 through February. Lamb gave passing marks in most categories, but it fell short in accounting for decommissioned meters and parts, he said.
The authority is storing its old meters in a warehouse at 12th Street and Penn Avenue, Downtown, for possible resale to other municipalities or for scrap.
Auditors said 380 meters were missing. They said the authority failed to document whether the meters or their parts were sold.
Onorato promised that the authority would do a better job of accounting for the sale of scrap parts and meters in the future.
The audit estimated the scrap value of the 380 meters at about $800. It said the meters would be worth about $36,000 if sold for reuse. Onorato said the authority has advertised the meters for sale since January without success.
"With the technology today nobody wants them," he said.

Meals-on-Wheels of Tarrant County has provided me with a wonderful opportunity to serve our local Metroplex community. I have been delivering Meals-on-Wheels for over 22 Years (since 1994). The staff at the Meals-on-Wheels Fort Worth center are always gracious, supporting and quick to assist. The clients receiving the meals are friendly and grateful. I've always finished the deliveries and felt better lending a hand for the benefit of all.
I drive for Meals on Wheels and personally hear each week how important this one meal every day means to so many. I typically have 8 on my route each week and enjoy a few minutes talking with most of them about their day, how they're feeling, etc. I'm pretty sure almost every person who receives a daily meal appreciates not only the food but also a smiling face at their door. But I feel like I'm the one who truly benefits as just spending a few minutes brightening the day of (mostly but not always) our seniors really makes my day..they are truly special to me!
My husband and I are retired. We have 17 grandchildren and our family is scattered around the country. We volunteer as substitutes for the regular volunteers when they cannot drive their regular route. This gives us the flexibility to travel while helping the Meals on Wheels organization fulfill a critical need in our community. It takes so little time. Debbie, the MOW scheduler and the clients are always appreciative. We feel we get back much more than we give in helping MOW serve those in need.
I drove for MOW for over 20 years, now unable to continue. Meeting my clients, visiting with each one for few minutes, helped them. but also me. Their positive attitudes, gratitude for the meal and for the drivers, was overwhelming. Each of them helped me too, to know each one and their stories.
I have helped Meals on Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County during the summer when the students from our campus are unavailable to run their designated route . I can tell you that the individuals that receive the meals are so very grateful. I can also tell you that it is a lot of work for the volunteers and the Meals on Wheels staff making sure that the recipients have lunch, see a caring, friendly face and have a much needed wellness checkup.
Delivering meals for over 20 years keeps reminding me of the many homebound people in need who live in our neighborhod and who are "invisible" to the community at large. A great organization that does so much more than just delivering a meal.
I cannot say enough good about the MOW. The volunteers are so wonderful. God bless them all. I m on oxygen and the folks that deliver my meal to me are so nice and helpful, always, they ask if there is anything they can do for me. This week they have given to me Xmas presents. I will open them eagerly on Christmas morning, but I want to thank all the folks that have been so kind to me. Thank you all for your kindness and your generosity of your time. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to each of you. God Bless you all.
Altough I no longer volunteer, I feel Meals on Wheels is a great organziation. Not only do they provide nutritious meals, but they also provide companionship. I loved the people I delivered food to like my own family. One gentleman I got to know very well and when I had to return to work, I truly missed talking with him. This is a great program that shows people who might otherwise be alone, that there are still people that care about them.
Previous Stories
I had the awesome experience of delivering meals through Meals on Wheels. I loved the opportunity. The best part was getting to talk with the people on my delivery route. They are so loving and some just need someone to talk to and check on them. I only delivered for 1 month, but I was deeply affected by the wonderful opportunity. I cannot wait until the summer comes again so I can begin delivering meals to those in need.
I have recently started volunteering as a substitute in the Keller & Watauga area. I deliver meals on my lunch hour. This has been a very rewarding experience. Because my route is new each time it takes me a while longer to deliver than their regular delivery person. No matter what time I deliver they are always glad to see me, always appreciative for the meals I deliver. They often share a little story with me and always have a smile on their face. I know that for many this the only way they can continue to live independently. It insures that have healthy meals each day and I often wonder if it is the meal or the social contact they look forward to most. Often they are waiting at the door when I get out of car. I love this ministry. This is a great group to volunteer with and they are so highly organized it is amazing. Thanks so much for this opportunity to serve.
I have been reciving meals for sometime now and without MOW I would go hungry. The volenteers that delivier are some of the nicest people I have ever had the joy to be in contact with. There is one special lady that I am so proud to know. You can tell by her smile and caring voice that she is truly decitated to the people on her route. She is such a special person. Always has time to say hello and how are you doing. This lady puts the joy in my day. Thank You Meals on Wheels for all you do.

Does Casino Billionaire Adelson Think He Can Buy The Presidential & Ohio Senate Races
Who is Josh Mandel? A Republican Zionist senate candidate, a man who wants young American boys to continue to be sent into harm's way to kill Muslims for the agenda of the Israeli government, all to the profit of Chinese, Israeli, Swiss, British, Canadian and other bankers and governments to whom our warwaging government is trillions in debt. Mandel himself participated in the Bush 1 and 2 violation of Iraq.
How many millions is billionaire gambler Sheldon Adelson with casinos in Macao, Singapore and Nevada, a man who owns a Netanyahu supporting newspaper in Israel, giving to fellow Zionist and Republican Josh Mandel in the Ohio Senate race? Adelson has given 34 million and pledged 100 million to Mitt Romney.... Romney's tax plan would give Adelson a free pass on profits made outside the US. 90% of his casino profits are external to the US.
Mandel is running an ad saying he was elected in a Democratic district. He doesn't say that it was a district with many Jewish Americans.

The following is from the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Politifact Ohio:
The Affordable Care Act "will likely go down as the biggest tax increase in history."
Josh Mandel on Thursday, June 28th, 2012 in a news release
Josh Mandel says Obamacare will ultimately be the 'biggest tax increase in history" Pants on Fire! Share this story:
The Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act settled the question of its constitutionality, but only seemed to intensify debate over the law.
Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel joined other Republicans in calling for its repeal, saying the decision "sets the stage for the November election." He identified the law as a pivotal issue in his campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Mandel issued a statement on the day of the decision asserting that Brown had voted "for what will likely go down as the biggest tax increase in history."
That claim about the health care legislation has been a talking point opponents of the law, repeated many times since the ruling. But PolitiFact first examined it after Florida Gov. Rick Scott made the statement more than a year earlier.
The claim is wrong. Here's why:
The federal Joint Committee on Taxation, a nonpartisan committee of Congress with a professional staff of economists, attorneys and accountants, gave members a detailed breakdown of the tax impact of the health care law from 2010-2019.
• A 10 percent excise tax on indoor tanning services that started in 2011 is expected to bring in $2.7 billion over 10 years.
• A new fee for pharmaceutical manufacturers and importers that started in 2011 is expected to raise $27 billion over 10 years.
• Starting in 2013, Medicare payroll taxes increase 0.9 percentage points for people with annual incomes over $200,000 ($250,000 for couples filing jointly). Also, people at this income level would pay a new 3.8 percent tax on investment income. The 10-year cost: $210.2 billion.
• Starting in 2013, a 2.3 percent excise tax on manufacturers and importers of certain medical devices starts. The 10-year total: $20 billion.
• Starting in 2013, the floor on medical expense deductions on itemized income tax returns will be raised from 7.5 percent to 10 percent of income. That's expected to bring in $15.2 billion over the next 10 years.
• Starting in 2014, a new annual fee on health insurance providers begins. Total estimated 10-year revenue: $60.1 billion.
• Starting in 2018, a new 40 percent excise tax kicks in on high-cost health plans, so-called "Cadillac plans" (over $10,200 for individuals, $27,500 for families). That's expected to bring the government a total of $32 billion in 2018 and 2019.
There also is money in the law going the other way. The plan includes government money, in the form of tax credits, to subsidize the cost of health insurance for lower-income people who don't get insurance through their employer. And there is a tax cut for some small businesses that allows them to write off a portion of the cost of providing insurance to their employees.
Combined with various other revenue-generating provisions, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the health law will bring in more than $437.8 billion by 2019. The government's nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the additional revenues coming in to the government to be $525 billion between now and 2019.
Does that translate to the biggest tax increase in American history?
There are many ways to define or measure the size of a tax increase. The health care tax provisions, for instance, take effect between 2011 and 2018, meaning the full effect of the legislation won't be felt until near the end of the decade. On top of that to compare the costs today with other years you have to adjust for inflation to measure the relative impact of a tax provision at the time it was enacted.
For our comparison, PolitiFact used a method perfected by Jerry Tempalski, an analyst in the Office of Tax Analysis with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In 2006, Tempalski tried to determine the relative impact of major tax revenue bills from 1940-2006. He used revenue estimates from Treasury and the Joint Committee on Taxation and calculated the impact as a percentage of GDP.
For 1940-1967 calculations, he used a single-year snapshot of the revenue impact of the tax legislation. For more recent tax bills, from 1968-2006, Tempalski used a two-year average of the revenue effects. Tempalski wrote: "The comparison of tax bills for the first period should be examined with some caution, because the revenue estimates are from different sources and are not completely consistent. The comparison for the second period can be viewed with more confidence, because the estimates are relatively consistent."
As a percent of GDP, here are the top five tax increases from 1940-2006, according to Tempalski:
1. Revenue Act of 1942: 5.04 percent of GDP;
2. Revenue Act of 1961: 2.2 percent of GDP;
3. Current Tax Payment Act of 1943: 1.13 percent of GDP;
4. Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968: 1.09 percent of GDP;
5. Excess Profits Tax of 1950: .97 percent of GDP;
And here are the top five tax increases from the "modern" era of 1968-2006:
1. Revenue and Expenditure Control Act of 1968: 1.09 percent of GDP;
2. Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982: 0.8 percent of GDP;
3 (tie). Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act of 1980: 0.5 percent of GDP
3 (tie). Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993; 0.5 percent of GDP;
5. Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990; 0.49 percent of GDP.
The list does not include the health care law, which passed in 2010, and a spokeswoman for the Department of Treasury said it hasn't been updated. So PolitiFact calculated its own figure for percent of GDP. We used 2019 as our baseline because that's when all of the tax provisions of the law will be in effect. In 2019, the CBO estimates, the government will see increased revenues of $104 billion.
That $104 billion includes the penalty or tax that individuals might pay if they do not purchase health insurance -- a figure estimated to be $14 billion for 2019.
We then divided that number into the projected GDP for 2019, which according to the CBO economic forecast is $21.164 trillion. That would mean the tax increase provisions of the health care law would amount to 0.49 percent of total GDP.
That would mean the tax increases resulting from the health care law would be about the size of tax increases proposed and passed in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter, in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush and in 1993 by President Bill Clinton.
The health care-related tax increases are smaller than the tax increase signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1982 and a temporary tax signed into law in 1968 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. And they are significantly smaller than two tax increases passed during World War II and a tax increase passed in 1961.
We asked Mandel's campaign how his claim is supported. The most relevant source they cited was an editorial from the Wall Street Journal asserting that Obama "has imposed the largest tax increase in history on the middle class."
The Journal cited Congressional Budget Office projections that 76 percent of the people who will have to pay an annual penalty tax (because they do not have health insurance and are not exempt for, say, cases of hardship or religious belief) will have a household income of 500 percent of the federal poverty level or below. For a family of four, that comes to about $120,000.
But who pays the tax is a different question than whether it is the largest tax increase in history.
Mandel's camp also cited sources saying that the Affordable Care Act contains "the largest tax increase since 1993," which we noted earlier and which was not his statement.
And they cited a chart from FactCheck.org showing the Affordable Care Act producing the largest tax increase since 1968 in raw dollars. In the article the chart accompanied, however, FactCheck.org called raw dollars a "rather useless yardstick" and "a poor way to measure the size of a tax increase," because it makes no adjustment for inflation and takes no account of a population that is steadily rising.
The tax increases in the health care legislation do reverse a trend of federal tax cuts and represent the first significant tax increases since 1993. But they are not the largest in the history of the United States.
It would have to grow more than 10 fold to match the wartime tax increase from 1942. It would have to nearly double just to match the 1982 increase under Reagan. And that still wouldn't crack the top 5 since 1940.
They are so far from the largest that it is not now possible, much less "likely," that they will "go down as the biggest tax increase in history."
On the Truth-O-Meter, Mandel's claim rates Pants on Fire.

By Paul Wiseman, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The economy created jobs at the fastest pace in three years last month, while unemployment stayed at 9.7%, latest signs of a lukewarm recovery from the deepest recession since the 1930s.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that the economy created 162,000 jobs in March, short of the 200,000 economists predicted. One reason: The federal government hired only 48,000 temporary Census workers last month, far fewer than expected.
JOBS OUTLOOK: Latest data for all states, 384 metros
READ: Full report
GOOD SIGN: Hiring rebounds on Wall Street
"We are beginning to turn the corner," President Obama on Friday told employees of a manufacturing plant that received government stimulus money.
Steps taken by the government "have broken this slide and are helping us to climb out of this recession," Obama said several hours after the report.
"We're still going through a hard time," the president acknowledged.
The private sector added 123,000 jobs. "This is the best news we've seen in a while," said U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., chair of Congress' Joint Economic Committee. "That is very encouraging. I am optimistic but also realistic: It will take a while to bring down this unacceptable unemployment rate."
"Today's report suggests that the economy has broken through to sustained job creation," said Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight.
Still, unemployment was stuck at 9.7% for the third straight month and is likely to remain high. "Any improvement in the economy may prompt people who've been avoiding the labor market to come back," preventing an increase in jobs from bringing the jobless rate down quickly, says Michael Englund, chief economist for Action Economics.
Damage lingered from the recession that started in December 2007: The number of people out of work 27 weeks or longer rose another 414,000 last month to a record 6.5 million, or 44% of the unemployed. The number of people working part time because they can't find full-time work also continued to rise.
Temporary jobs increased 40,000 last month and are up 313,000 since September. A rise in temp work usually signals a recovery in the labor market.
The nation's factories added 17,000 jobs in March, and manufacturing has added 45,000 jobs so far this year.
The average workweek rose 0.1 hours to 34 hours in March, but average hourly earnings for non-farm workers fell 2 cents to $22.47.

Cape Town (AFP) March 16, 2010
African states should harness Chinese interest as Beijing's demand for commodities drives growth on the continent and fuels capital investments, an energy conference heard on Tuesday.
China's investment model in Africa, characterised by long-term capital concessional financing, was a developmental "no-brainer," Martyn Davies, head of the Frontier Advisory firm, told the Oil and Gas Africa expo.
"It's very strategic and it's very long-term. The model works provided the extraction continues to take place and the oil continues to flow," he told conference delegates.
Africa and China, which imports a quarter of its oil from the continent, had shown parallel growth patterns since 2000 as energy-hungry Beijing went in search of new oil sources beyond traditional markets, said Davies.
"Africa needs to create the best enabling environment. China's interest in Africa is ours to lose," he told AFP on the sidelines of the conference.
"China's commodity demand is underpinning Africa's growth performance. As trade supply links become more entrenched, a component of China's growth depends on Africa's ability to supply," he said.
China's building up of trade and economic ties with Africa has drawn accusations that the country has taken a "neo-colonialist" attitude toward the continent.
Beijing also has been criticised for befriending pariah regimes in Sudan and Zimbabwe in a cynical bid to lock up supplies of resources needed to fuel expansion of its economy, the world's third largest.
earlier related report
China had a total of 768,000 workers abroad at end-February, 57,000 more than a year ago, official data showed. Separate figures for workers in Africa were not available.
The following is a list of major kidnap incidents in Africa that involved Chinese nationals:
January 5: NIGERIA: Five Chinese working for a telecoms company are captured in the southern state of Rivers. They are freed 12 days later.
January 25: NIGERIA: Nine employees of the China National Petroleum Company are taken hostage in the oil-producing southern state of Bayelsa. They are freed 10 days later as Chinese President Hu Jintao visits Africa.
March 17: NIGERIA: Two Chinese workers are abducted in the southeastern state of Anambra. One is freed by a police raid in early June; the fate of the other is not known.
April 24: ETHIOPIA: A separatist group attacks a Chinese-run oil operation in the Ogaden region of eastern Ethiopia, killing 77 people including nine Chinese workers, and abducting seven other Chinese, who are released six days later.
May 6: NIGERIA: Three Chinese workers are captured from a building site in the southern state of Cross River. They are freed three days later.
October 18: SUDAN: Nine Chinese employees of the China National Petroleum Corporation are seized by rebels in the disputed Abyei region, near western Darfur. Five are killed and four freed later.
November 14: SOMALIA: Pirates operating off the Somali coast capture a Chinese fishing boat and its 24 Chinese crew members. They are released the following February.
October 18: SEYCHELLES: Somali pirates seize a Chinese cargo vessel and its 25 crew members off the Seychelles islands. All are freed in December after payment of a ransom.
March 12: Seven Chinese are seized along with their fishing boat in international waters off the Bakassi peninsula in Cameroon.

The Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts has bought into the Oscars race by surprisingly naming Silver Linings Playbook the year's best film.
At its international awards hosted by Russell Crowe in Los Angeles, AACTA gave three awards to David O. Russell's comic drama, about a teacher just out of a mental institution who meets a troubled young widow.
As well as best film, Silver Linings Playbook won best director for Russell and Jennifer Lawrence won best actress.
For the top prize, it nudged out the Academy Awards' best picture favourite Lincoln and four other contenders - Argo, Les Miserables, Life of Pi and Zero Dark Thirty.
Best actor went to Oscars favourite Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln over Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables), Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook), Joaquin Phoenix (The Master), John Hawkes (The Sessions) and Denzel Washington (Flight).
As with Jackman, AACTA showed no favouritism to the nominated Australians when Jennifer Lawrence beat Nicole Kidman (The Paperboy), Naomi Watts (The Impossible), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Marion Cotillard (Rust & Bone) and Emmanuelle Riva (Amour).
Best screenplay went to Quentin Tarantino for Django Unchained.
At AACTA's first international awards last year, the three wins for The Artist (best film, director for Michel Hazanavicius and actor for Jean Dujardin) and the best actress win for Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady) pointed to later Oscar wins.
The AACTA Awards for Australian film and television will be held in Sydney on Monday and Wednesday.

matrix columns
According to the mathematica book there are 2 ways to access columns of
a matrix (Mathmatica V. 3) Transpose[m][[i]] and Map[#[[i]]&,m]. Are
the efficiencies of these two operations the same. Also, I can't figure
out how you would assign a column in a matrix (i.e. set a column in the
matrix equal to a specific vector or something). The two previously
mentioned functions return copies of the columns in the m and you can't
assign a new value to it as far as I can see. Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance,

A VEHICLE dismantler in Stourport is calling it day after more than 40 years trading in second-hand car parts.
Roger Hall, 65, is closing down his business, Potters Vehicle Dismantlers, in Sandy Lane, after 42 years.
He took over the business when his father-in-law died in 1970 and it has been in the same family since 1963.
He said: "I've enjoyed it but the job has changed. It's not how it used to be. Young people used to buy the different bits and pieces for their cars but now many cars have to go back to their manufacturers. It seems that youngsters want new cars now."
The company also faced difficulties when the Environment Agency forced Mr Hall to close in 2004 because of a change to the End of Life Vehicle (ELV) licence rules.
It was allowed to reopen after satisfying agency inspectors his facilities met the required standard.
Mr Hall added: "The Environment agency wanted me to spend £150,000 to concrete the yard but I couldn't afford it. They had mis-interpreted the EU law and allowed me to re-open.
"We've raised three children with the profits so we've done well. I'd like to thank all my customers over the years for their support."
