Anne Mushumanski will never forget the first time Cindy Klassen tried speed skating.
Let's just say the future Olympian didn't exactly look like a future Olympian -- starting with the way she was dressed.
"In her hockey helmet and her hockey gloves," is how Mushumanski, a coach at the Winnipeg Speed Skating Club, remembers it.
Then Klassen put on her skates and looked even more out of place.
"She's a very natural athlete, and when she got on the ice she figured this wouldn't be a big deal," former coach Lori Derraugh recalls. "And I remember her just being so embarrassed, because all these little kids are just zipping by her."
Klassen had played hockey her whole life, reaching the AAA bantam boys' level, the Canadian junior women's team, even contending for a spot on the women's Olympic team.
So how hard could it be?
"I remember stepping onto the ice and thinking I was just going to fly around, that it would be like hockey, just faster," Klassen says, still laughing about it. "And when I could barely stand up on the blades, and little five-year-old kids were flying past me, it was a very humbling experience."
Now, a lot of people would have quit, right then and there.
But that word doesn't appear to be in this Winnipegger's vocabulary. At the very least, it's a four-letter word, and everybody knows a God-fearing student at Mennonite Brethren Collegiate doesn't use those.
No, the only thing overriding Klassen's embarrassment that day was her determination to get better.
"She was eager to learn," Mushumanski says. "She gobbled it up.
Mushumanski and Derraugh saw something else in Klassen, too -- a natural power that most skaters don't have. It didn't take long for them to realize this newcomer might just be going places.
"We knew she was something special, in terms of her ability," Derraugh says. "She's got what it takes. Her work ethic is unbelievable. It didn't matter how cold it was or whether there was a lot of snow that day. She's just the type that would always be there and would probably get the shovel out and get everybody to clear the rink."
Klassen was so self-conscious about her lack of ability early on, she told her parents not to come out to watch her first competition.
"We actually snuck into a race once," her mom, Helga, says.
By the following winter, Klassen had improved so dramatically she earned a spot on the national team for the world junior championship.
Oh, and she brought home gold and bronze medals, too.
At 26, Klassen doesn't even resemble the skater she was eight years ago.
Her coaches, though, say she's exactly the same person.
"She has not changed, let me tell you, from the first day she started," Mushumanski says. "She's still a nice, sincere person. All this being a world champion and everything, the medals, have not changed her."

No matter what The problem is that instead of using the fully qualified name, which is guaranteed not to conflict with anything else, "it" chooses a simplified one - just the basename. Having to put a "module" statement in every module shouldn't be necessary - flattening the namespace only saves you a few keystrokes in the rare case when you need to explicitly access that module (because of conflicting symbols). artur

Top Ten Tall Buildings Completed in 2005
Shimao International Plaza in Shanghai, at 333 meters (1,093 ft) high, leads the list of the ten tallest buildings completed in 2005, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reported today. The Q1 Tower (Gold Coast, Australia) at 321 meters (1,058 ft), and Chongqing (China) World Trade Center, at 283 meters (929 ft), were second and third, respectively.
To be eligible for consideration, buildings must have been completed in 2005, be fully clad and either be 'open for business' or at least partially occupied. Height is measured from sidewalk level of the main entrance to the structural top of the building including spire, but not including communications antennae or flag pole.

At 4,000km² Mt. Elgon has the largest volcanic base in the world. Located on the Uganda-Kenya border it is also the oldest and largest solitary, volcanic mountain in East Africa. Its vast form, 80km in diameter, rises more than 3,000m above the surrounding plains. The mountain's cool heights offer respite from the hot plains below, with the higher altitudes providing a refuge for flora and fauna.
Mount Elgon National Park is home to over 300 species of birds, including the endangered Lammergeyer. Small antelopes, forest monkeys, elephants and buffalos also live on the mountainside. The higher slopes are protected by national parks in Uganda and Kenya, creating an extensive trans-boundary conservation area which has been declared a UNESCO Man & Biosphere Reserve.A climb on Mt. Elgon's deserted moorlands unveils a magnificent and uncluttered wilderness without the summit-oriented approach common to many mountains: the ultimate goal on reaching the top of Mt. Elgon is not the final ascent to the 4321m Wagagai Peak, but the descent into the vast 40km² caldera.
Geography and Climate
Mt. Elgon, a solitary volcano, is one of the oldest in East Africa. It was built up from lava debris blown out from a greatly enlarged volcanic vent during the Pliocene epoch and rises to a height of about 4320m above sea level. The geology of the area is dominated by basaltic parent materials and strongly weathered granites of the Basement Complex.
The area receives a bimodal pattern of rainfall, generally, with the wettest period occurring from April to October. The mean annual rainfall ranges from 1500 mm on the eastern and northern slopes, to 2000 mm in the southern and the western slopes. The mean maximum and minimum temperatures are 23° and 15 °C respectively. Mid-slopes oriented towards the east and north, at elevations between 2000 and 3000m tend to be wetter than either the lower slopes or the summit.
Elephants and buffalo can be found on the lower slopes of the mountain. The park is also home to a variety of small antelope and duiker, as well forest monkeys, including the blue monkey, black and white colobus. The red-tailed monkey have been reported after being thought to be locally extinct. In the late 1990s, it is believed that both leopard and hyena existed there.
Mount Elgon is home to at least 300 bird species including; the Jackson's francolin, Hartlaub's turaco, the eastern bronze-naped pigeon, the Tacazze sunbird and the endangered lammergeier, due to their restricted range.
Maathai's longleg, an endangered dragonfly was discovered in the park in 2005 and named after Nobel Prize winner Wangari Mathaai.
It's quite apt to note that half of Uganda's butterfly species have been reported in Mt. Elgon.
Tourists on a Uganda safari circuit can visit the park any time throughout the year, although conditions in the park are more difficult during the rainy season and it is usually advisable to use 4x4 vehicles to access the park. Available tourist accommodation include; Lacaam Lodge, Sipi River Lodge, the UWA Bandas, and a number of accommodation facilities in Mbale town.
The major tourist activities in the park include; game viewing, caves exploration especially Kitum, Chepnyali, and Mackingeny, primates and bird watching, butterfly watching, Hiking to the peaks, self guided walking trails, and camping photography. There are also visits to the hot springs in the former volcano's crater which bubble at temperatures of up to 48 °C.
Park at a Glance
Size: 1,121km²
This extinct volcano is one of Uganda's oldest physical features, first erupting around 24 million years ago.
Mt Elgon was once Africa's highest mountain, far exceeding Kilimanjaro's current 5,895m. Millennia of erosion have reduced its height to 4,321m, relegating it to the 4th highest peak in East Africa and 8th on the continent.
Mt Elgon is home to two tribes, the Bagisu and the Sabiny, with the marginalized Ndorobos forced to dwell deep within the forest of Benet.
The Bagisu, also known as the BaMasaba, consider Mount Elgon to be the embodiment of their founding father Masaba and refer to the mountain by this name.

Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner did not back down from earlier comments she made regarding Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed pension-smoothing plan, but criticized the media for trying "to make this a personal issue."
Miner last week said Cuomo's proposal to give local governments the option of locking in a set pension-contribution rate — essentially allowing them to pay less now and more later over a 25-year period — is "puzzling" and "raises more questions than answers."
Light criticism from a mayor of a major New York city is not always newsworthy. But Miner is Cuomo's hand-picked co-chair of the New York State Democratic Committee, and her comments received pushback from Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy and Cuomo's budget director, Robert Megna.
After testifying at a budget hearing in Albany Monday, Miner characterized her relationship with Cuomo as "professional" and said she's just "asking questions." She said she hadn't spoken to the governor directly in the last week.
"This is about having a robust debate in order to try to find the best solution — or perhaps a robust discussion," Miner said.
Miner was in Albany to testify in front of a joint legislative panel on Cuomo's $136 billion budget proposal, which he first laid out last week. She used her testimony, in part, to lay out five questions about the pension-smoothing proposal. Among them: "Will we end up saving money if we defer these payments to a later time?"
(You can read a portion of Miner's testimony after the jump.)
Miner was asked whether she thinks she would remain the co-chair of the state Democratic Party, a decision she said is "up to the governor and the state committee people of the Democratic Party of New York."
Asked whether she would like to remain co-chair, she said: "I am happy with the jobs I have currently."
A clip of Miner's exchange with reporters is also after the jump.
From Miner's written testimony:
V. Stable Rate Pension Contribution Option
The Governor's proposed Stable Rate Pension Contribution Option offers to reduce near-term payments for the City but will require higher than normal contributions in the latter years. If enacted, Syracuse will have the option to immediately reduce pension contribution rates by locking in a stable pension rate for a 25-year period and requiring higher contributions in the latter years.
While I am eager to accept an opportunity to provide immediate relief of our pension costs, I have the responsibility to also act in the best interest of the future fiscal condition of Syracuse. In doing so, my administration and I will prudently examine the Governor's plan in conjunction with our budget projections to determine whether this option will offer a long-term solution or defer the crisis for someone in my position to mitigate in the future.
Before authorizing this program, I believe there are questions that need to be answered and issues that need to be investigated.
1. How do we know that this plan is viable 25 years down the line? Reviewing an actuarial report from an independent analyst would be helpful to municipalities in deciding whether or not to opt in. Published materials such as this could speak to the stability of the fund in the long term.
2. This plan hinges on a high turnover rate of current employees being replaced by new ones entering Tier VI. Overall, employees are staying in the system longer and retiring later. It is our experience that public safety employees are not retiring after twenty years of service. In Syracuse, the higher the rank of a firefighter or police officer, the longer they stay in the system at the higher contribution rate. We are looking to trim an already lean workforce and are reviewing every position and not filling it where necessary. This program is based on the idea that we could reap long-term savings of Tier VI, but it may turn out that the rate of new employees coming into the system at Tier VI may not be fast enough to make the program effective. The City of Syracuse has only hired 24 replacement employees since the enactment of Tier VI, which will save the City $38,000. While this provides some relief, it is only a sliver in comparison to the costs that the City must pay for the other five Tiers.
3. Will we end up saving money if we defer these payments to a later time? According to this proposal, the plan would save Syracuse $43.5 million over a five year period—which would certainly help the immediate problem of funding these costs—but what about when it's finally time to pay them? Without carefully vetted projections, we can only speculate. The near-term savings are calculated on events in the future that may not occur. I am concerned that in the first five years of this plan, we may be financing another liability that we may not be able to pay.
4. This proposal has implications that will have a long-term and lasting impact. I fear that opting into this program could be a hasty solution for cities to fix immediate cash flow needs. Volatility in the market place and changing economic conditions have a way of altering the best laid plans. Should challenging economic conditions present themselves in the future and cities are unable to pay this liability, NYS Retirement System could be seriously at risk. Consider this—if the Legislature knew today what would happen in 2008, do you think they would have suspended employee contributions as they did in 2000 for Tier III and IV employees?
5. Is there a definitive end date to this program? The plan proposes that at various intervals it will be re-evaluated, and if the ROI (return on investment) in the retirement fund does not meet expectations, they will just lengthen the term of the plan. A 25 year plan could potentially turn into a 30—maybe 40—year plan, and the taxpayers are always responsible for funding it. The municipalities that have already availed themselves of the current pension amortization plan have growing debt, and if they opt into this program, it would grow larger. In FY2011, 57 municipalities took advantage of the pension amortization plan and financed $43.5 million of their pension costs. In one year, it had ballooned to 165 municipalities in the amount of $200.6 million.

The Chicago media were all agush on May 4th over the opening of Oprah Winfrey's musical treatment of The Color Purple. Breathless were the reports of who was in attendance and star struck was the celeb watching as the limos pulled up in front of the Cadillac Palace Theatre in downtown Chicago.
But one "celebrity" that was invited by Oprah to attend the opening performance should raise eyebrows and should have spawned condemnation of Oprah Winfrey for his invitation; yet, the media was strangely silent about the impropriety of the invite.
Before I go on with who the off color Color Purple guest is, a recap of just what the theme of this musical is all about is called for to speak to exactly why this particular guest should never have been invited to this premier, much less given star treatment.
The Color Purple is, at its core, a story about the rape and abuse of children by adult males. Certainly the supposed uplift of the thing is in how the young girls in the story overcome the abuse that they are put through. But, in essence, this is a misanthropic tale of how evil, evil men rape their way through a family of young black girls.
Now back to our inappropriate guest for the opening of The Color Purple, the musical.
As the sycophantic Chicago media stood with microphones in hand and cameras rolling, who was to walk out onto the red carpet but the "musician" R. Kelly. Yes, the same R. Kelly that has often and repeatedly been accused of raping teenaged, girls.
And, not a single voice was raised in the Chicago media about how inappropriate this invitation was!
ABC TV even reported the disgraced pop singer as saying, "It really inspired me to be who I am today".
Inspired him to "be" what he is today? What a child rapist?
Though not convicted as of yet, Kelly has been several times in hot water for his dalliances with under-aged girls and no one, not even Kelly, denies that he has been linked with a multitude of very young girls. So, it is astonishing that, given his troubles, Oprah Winfrey invited this ne'er-do-well to her opening. Especially given his history of sexual predation in juxtaposition with the play's subject matter.
Disgustingly, the Chicago Sun-Times even gave R. Kelly the opportunity to plug his new album in their report of this celeb fest.
It was wholly inappropriate for this man to have been invited to this show, conviction or not. Isn't it people like Oprah who are famous for tsk-tsking even the slightest appearance of violence against, or any mistreatment of, women -- especially black women?
What do they say: even the appearance of impropriety is a serious charge? Don't the media and the left constantly employ guilt by association by protesting the appearance of controversial conservatives at any particular venue, attempting to shut the appearance down? Constantly they find no problem protesting an Ann Coulter appearance or an appearance by a conservative religious figure, by contrast. Yet, there was R. Kelly, effulgent, all smiles and backslapping, hobnobbing with the social elites at Oprah's show with the media lapping it up.
So, it makes one wonder just how much Oprah is against child rape if she has no problem rubbing elbows with the likes of an R. Kelly. And not just rubbing elbows by happenstance, but doing so by her own invitation.
What kind of "message" is Oprah sending to young teenaged girls with this regrettable invitation, anyway?
Could it be: Don't let anyone rape you... unless he is famous?

Field normalization at different aggregation levels
This paper studies the impact of differences in citation practices using the model introduced in Crespo et al. (2012) according to which the number of citations received by an article depends on its underlying scientific influence and the field to which it belongs. Using a dataset of about 4.4 million articles published in 1998- 2003 with a five-year citation window, the main results are the following four. Firstly, we estimate a set of exchange rates (ERs) to express the citation counts of articles in a wide quantile interval into the equivalent counts in the all-sciences case. For example, in the fractional case we find that in 187 out of 219 sub-fields the ERs are reliable in the sense that the coefficient of variation is smaller than or equal to 0.10. ERs are estimated over the [660, 978] interval that, on average, covers about 62% of all citations. Secondly, in the fractional case the normalization of the raw data using the ERs (or the sub-field mean citations) as normalization factors reduces the importance of the differences in citation practices from 18% to 3.8% (3.4%) of overall citation inequality. Thirdly, the results in the fractional case are essentially replicated when we adopt the multiplicative approach. Fourthly, whenever we are restricted to an intermediate aggregate level with 19 fields, the estimation of the ERs and the linear normalization procedures also offer good results. However, the aggregation of normalized distributions at the lowest aggregate level using sub-field ERs (or sub-field mean citations) as normalization factors, lead to similar or slightly better results at the field level

text: categorized question QandAEditors I am attempting write a function to transfer information from a mySQL database on a Unix-based system to an Access database on an NT-based system. What is the best way to go about this problem? <p> I had thought about having an ActiveState Perl script on the NT server receive information from an HTTP call from the Unix system, and then put that information into the database, but I was wondering if there was a better way to go about this, perhaps by connecting directly to the Access database in some way. 1831

social studies
posted by Anon .
When choosing a name for a child, how could a parent best use this study to help ensure the child's normal social development?
1 keep in mind that other characteristics are more important than name
2try not to choose an ethnic name
3Consider an unusual name because it will have positive results
4 choose a popular name to ensure that the child gets along with others.
5give the child a neutral name to prevent shyness
What study?
Does having an unusual name, such as Chastity, Englebert or Moon unit, have an effect on how a child develops? The results of some previous studies agrees with the commonsense idea that such as name could cause a child to be rejected or ridiculed and thus could have a negative effect on the child's intellectual or social development. It would seem logical that rejection and ridicule could cause a child to avoid social contact or lower motivation or interest in scholastic achievement. Two new studies, however, indicate that this is not so.
Once study which involved 23000 second to eleventh graders in Midwestern urban school district, found that unusual or undesirable names did not affect intellectual development. The other study, of 724 ninth and twelfth graders in two Midwestern high schools, found no problem in either intellectual or social development due to a person's name. Apparently, concludes the first study, once we get to know someone, other characteristics besides their name become much more intellectual in how we react to them.
Because unusual names are often associated with ethnic groups, the research suggests that the apparent effect of names may actually be the effect of ethnic group membership. [But further research is needed to prove this.] Finally the research states that some evidence indicates that if a name does have an effect, which may rarely happen, it could be a positive effect as often as a negative effect. For example, an unusual name could help to "build character" or help you recall a person.
Question 1: I have (5)
Question 2: I have (c)
2>>Based on the result of the studies, what should an elementary teacher do to unsure that a child with an unusual name develops normal intellectual ability?
a- Make a special effort to ignore the child
b- Try to give the child a more acceptable nickname
c- Treat the child fairly, like others in the class
d- Protect the child from other children
e- Call attention to the child's name to "build character"
I disagree with your first answer.
I agree with your second answer.
I'm kind indecisive on first question (either answer: 1 or 3)
Jr. Balls can be the name.
lets be serious hear i mean that can really be the name of however or whatever your talking about
@illuminati you're a dumb ass lol learn how to put your words together it's HERE not HEAR as in I HEAR YOU... C'mon HERE...
which one of the following conclusions is supported by the results of these studies? 1)characteristics other than one's name have no effect on academic achievement. 2)Unusual names do not determine intellectual development. 3)Ethnic group membership is the main factor affecting social development. 4) In many cases,unusual name help to build character." 5) having an unusual name is one factor that affects both social and intellectual development.
I got (2)

If P-R can release FA 645 lenses why not K mount

Hi all,
And perhaps John Carlson can answer this...
I think it is great that PR released 645 lenses.. Why not introduce the best of the K mount lenses FA * such as the 24 F2, 85 1.4 etc? In the past I heard that these lenses had issues with lead included in the glass (never understood why this was an issue as it is encapsulated). However if this were true the 645 lenses would not be allowed back.-- hide signature --
A picture is worth a thousand words but talk is cheap.
Best regards
All 645 lenses already made, and now available in the US, can out-resolve even a 150 MP MF sensor. We can say they may last forever.
For the 135 format, available lenses are not so great. They would indeed require modifications of design, and an all new production. New type of motors, etc. to be comparable with competition. Is it justifiable? Not for all. Perhaps for just a few that are also usable on APS-C cameras.
Ultimately, it comes down to a question: does Pentax brand really needs a 135 format sized sensor? Not quite. The availability of old film lenses for the 135 format is heritage, and a coincidence too, rather than true necessity for the design of a camera system for the age of digital and new unprecedented image qualities.
A case for the MF mirrorless instead of 135 format (aka FF) mirrorless
For example, why would Pentax bother designing an all new 135 format mirrorless system many have suggested, when they could design an MF mirrorless system using this 645Z sensor?
And in one camera have both MF and FF through any crop of your choice. The number of lenses needed for an MF in such a case could be minimal; say 6 lenses instead of 12-15 for the 135 mirrorless, because the crop alone on the MF, from a perfectly usable 52 MP sensor, would allow for unbelievable new possibilities.
Suppose just for a they build the 645Y - Like the Z but without the mirror: Permanent live view either feeding the back LCD or a small LCD which you can look at through an eye piece. No SAFOX system for AF, because AF is driven from the sensor, and no 86 KPixel metering system because you have a 50 MPixel one. It has shorter battery life, the sensor runs hotter and therefore noiser, maybe costs $8,400 instead of $8,500. And the advantage is what ?
Remember mirrorless cameras are selling poorly. FOUR SLRS are sold for every Mirrorless interchangeable.
and design the lenses to work with their element close to image then you can build a smaller camera. So you only get a benefit from mirrorless IF you throw away your lens mount and start again. If you keep an existing lens format .... well some might say the K-01 had the success it deserved
It's OK to go for a new lens mount IF you have the RD budget to bring new lenses to market, or you get into a partnership with others. (Picture a "Gigantic Four Thirds" group with 44x33 sensors size ) But that's not working out for Olympus and Panasonic.
The attraction of Full frame K mount is that it means body and lenses will be the same size as the current range, and FF lenses go onto crop bodies. There's no benefit to Ricoh in customers being able to mount old lenses and those lenses may not perform all that well anyway - I think it was a miscalculation to develop so many lenses which will only work with APS-C.
The idea of paying the premium for a 44x33 sensor over a 24x36 one - which is thousands of dollars - and then telling users "Oh no, you don't need a 400mm lens just use a 300 and crop it", in fact if you have 200mm one you crop down to a perfectly OK APS-C sized piece of the it would get you laughed out of any chance of selling one.

Two girls from either side of the Indo-Bangla border were gifted a new lease of life by their mothers, who donated their kidneys for their daughters suffering from renal failure.
Megha Banerjee, 7, of Bangur Avenue in Calcutta, and Nayara Rehman, 6, from Dhaka had to stop going to school after renal complications left them sapped of all energy.
Their health has improved after the transplants and now the girls are looking forward to rejoining their friends in school.
The girls do not look their age, as their physical growth was impaired by the renal complications.
My daughter weighed just 13.5kg while others her age weigh 24kg or so. She would get tired after the least exertion and throw up often. Her low body weight made the transplant risky. When doctors finally agreed, I volunteered to donate a kidney at once, said Meghas mother, Ruma Banerjee.
Nayaras mother Mehbuba Joarder, a radiologist at a private clinic in Dhaka, said the counselling at Fortis Hospitals in Anandapur, where the transplants took place, had helped a lot. Nayara had been undergoing dialysis for three years.
The renal complications pushed up her blood pressure so much that she suffered from temporary blindness last year. After the condition was treated, doctors decided to go for the transplant, said Joarder.
Meghas underwent surgery six months ago Nayara four months ago. Both are doing well. The surgery was difficult because the mothers kidneys were double the size of the girls.
Its difficult to place the kidney of a grown-up in a small abdomen. Also modifications had to be done to blood vessels. The procedure took six hours for each girl, said Shivaji Basu, chief urologist and renal transplant surgeon at Fortis, who led the team of surgeons that performed the operations.

One of the pioneers of colour television, William E Boss, has died, aged 86. He was RCA's director of colour TV development from 1954 until 1962, and oversaw the launch of some of the first sets in the States, and the development of the system as a major force in home entertainment.
Known as RCA's "Mr Color TV", Boss joined the company in 1947, and was later instrumental in convincing broadcasters, dealers and distributors to work together to ensure the success of TV.
While RCA wasn't the first company to launch colour TV, it found itself embroiled in a battle with CBS over the TV standard to be adopted. CBS had its own mechanical system, while RCA used an all-electronic system, backwards-compatible with black and white receivers, developed by the company under the chairmanship of David Sarnoff.
Given that there were already 25m black and white TVs in use in the States in the early 1950s, that back-compatibility proved a crucial factor – the US Federal Communications Commission, having initially backed the CBS system, adopted the RCA system as a standard in December 1953.
RCA started broadcasts almost immediately via the 31 stations around the country already equipped for the new system, showing the Rose Bowl Parade in colour on New Year's Day 1954, even though there were hardly any receivers in use.
More after the break
It launched its first consumer TVs in March 1954: the CT-100, or Merrill – seen above showing that first broadcast – sold for $1000, and had a 12in screen.
By 1960 there were half a million colour sets in US homes, and the majority of NBC's prime time programming in 1962-63 was 'colourcast'. The further spread of the new system was led by successes such as the first TV Western made and shown in colour – Bonanza.

The Obama Administration, aware that everyone outside of union bosses, and interest groups looking for billion-dollar ribeye steaks of taxpayer money, is having trouble remembering why they voted for Obama, has decided to drag CIA interrogators and Bush Administration officials into court, where they will be persecuted for their role in defending America from terrorist attacks. Apparently Obama and his accomplices decided to distract their liberal base from the fiery Hindenburg crash of socialized medicine, by offering them a relaxing cruise on the Titanic of leftist foreign policy. As with everything else the current Administration does, it's a remarkably foolish move: dangerous for America, and self-destructive as a strategy.
I don't have much patience or understanding for people who play games with national security for political benefit, so let me dismiss the political strategy of this outrage by saying it once again demonstrates the danger of believing your own political spin, and taking the lovestruck panting of a sycophantic media seriously. Real Americans are not anxious to punish the people who shut down al-Qaeda's domestic operations. While liberals wave the Justice Department's report on CIA interrogation techniques at the rest of the world and tearfully beg them for forgiveness, the rest of us are wondering why we don't reduce the deficit by selling the rights to these interrogations on pay-per-view. The contestants on your average Japanese game show go through more intense ordeals.
Obama should understand that he was elected in spite of his childish posturing as a messiah and redeemer, not because of them. A weary public allowed itself to be badgered into electing the first black president, after they ran out of patience waiting for John McCain to explain why they shouldn't. Normal people don't define their relationship with the government by taking pleasure in the humiliation of political figures they dislike. We're six months past the point where American voters can be kept quiet by suffocating them with the pillow of Bush hatred. We're about a month past the point where anyone capable of independent thought believes Obama is a better president than Bush was.
Political strategy aside, America needs to resolve its argument about the morality of self-defense, and quickly. It's my contention that a peaceful democracy has a moral imperative to demonstrate ferocity in defense.
Because we are not an aggressive, conquering nation, we don't seek to subjugate the world and eliminate opposition. This means we will always be playing defense. One of the most dangerous delusions of the Left is the idea that we might be able to create a civilization that has no enemies. Civilization always has its enemies. Liberals should understand that, since they draw their own political strength from the unhappy remnant that always feels cheated by free-market capitalism, no matter how prosperous it might become. Even the most peaceful and compassionate nation will always be at risk from savages who wish to drown it in blood.
Anyone who has studied any form of self-defense knows the danger of hesitation. Effective defense requires swift and decisive action. When a fist is flying at your face, you don't have time to flip through your mental catalog of Jet Li movies and pick a cool counter-move. Hesitation can defeat even superior strength and technical skill. The most powerful weapon in the world is useless as long as it remains in its holster… and it provides no deterrence value if your assailant knows it will remain there.
To suggest that enduring six months of Obama has made the CIA more hesitant to conduct effective intelligence operations is an understatement. Democrat political double-dealing is a crime that strikes at the heart of our venerated belief in civilian command of the military. We respect this arrangement, in part, because we believe it is proper for the civilian government to exhaust all peaceful, diplomatic avenues before we commit to war. You don't send Marine recon units to conduct subtle diplomacy. The Bush Administration did its duty in this regard – for all the liberal caterwauling about "Bush's rush to war," it took a hell of a lot longer than Barack Obama's rush to nationalize the health insurance industry and triple the deficit.
The other side of this arrangement must also be honored: we must allow the military to act with decisive speed, working within clearly defined rules of engagement. The military requires, and deserves, the assurance that they will not be used as political pawns by the civilian authorities. This is the duty a peaceful nation owes to the men and women who risk their lives, and make countless personal sacrifices, to ensure our safety. It is also logical, because the safety of American civilians, along with the hope for minimal collateral damage to foreign populations, depends on giving our defenders the confidence to take swift and decisive action. We know from experience that modern America does not have the political and cultural endurance to fight protracted wars – and, frankly, protracted wars stink. If war is forced upon us, it's better for everyone involved if we make quick work of the enemy.
The Left has demonstrated a willing eagerness to sap American endurance in times of war, again and again. The antiwar movement is a fusion of many agendas, including domestic political hatred of the sitting President, and outright sympathy with the enemy. There is little that can be said to these elements of the Left… but to those who sincerely oppose extended military action on humanitarian grounds, I would say it is deeply immoral to apply political sanctions and legal penalties to the very people who have the best chance of ending a war quickly, or preventing enemy attacks from claiming innocent lives. Nothing will prompt a determined enemy to attack faster than the belief his target is paralyzed with uncertainty. Nothing will break the will of a terrorist organization faster than capturing or killing its command structure, and that requires timely intelligence. There is exactly one way to obtain that intelligence, and you can read all about it, in the Justice Department report on CIA interrogations. The options to wish determined enemies away, hug them into submission, or instantly penetrate their command structure with double-oh super-spies are not on the table. The option of surrender is underneath the table, and a few hundred million patriotic Americans will stomp on your damned fingers, if you try reaching for it.
If a group of people took your family hostage, and one of their associates fell into your hands, you would do anything to extract the location of your family from him. So would Barack Obama, and Eric Holder, and every Democrat who ever sullied the halls of Congress by referring to American soldiers as Nazis. President Obama would not dither about the finer points of a criminal's hypothetical "rights" while the man's accomplices were taking power tools to Michelle and the kids. Anyone who would is a lunatic… and I don't want to leave the security of our country in the hands of lunatics. The moral justification for relying on professional military and law-enforcement personnel is the understanding that their training will allow them to do all the terrible things we would do to protect our family, more dispassionately, carefully, and efficiently than we could. Double-crossing them for political gain is using the families of other people as poker chips, in the smug certainty your own loved ones are in no immediate danger. If we don't let the professionals do their jobs against a relentless enemy now, then one day, we will all be soldiers.
A few weeks ago, Eric Holder saw nothing wrong with Black Panthers using billy clubs to intimidate voters. Today, he thinks intimidating terrorists with cigars is a crime. Holder is the one who should be answering tough questions under oath.

BELTON — A Harker Heights High School student was indicted on an assault charge after police said he struck a teacher.
A Bell County grand jury indicted Christopher Gerard Killebrew III, 18, on a charge of assault on a public servant Wednesday.
Killeen Independent School District police were called to the school Nov. 7 in response to a report of a student striking a teacher, according to an arrest affidavit.
The teacher, who is a coach at the school, told police Killebrew said he was going to "come after" him, and ran toward him.
The teacher said Killebrew swung his arms and struck him in the elbow.
Under Texas law, teachers are considered public servants. The charge against Killebrew is a third-degree felony.

EDITORIAL >> Jacksonville picks mayor on Tuesday
They were the top vote-getters in the May 12 special election Fletcher with 952 votes, and Elliott with 789 votes. Early voting this week has been steady, with some 200 people casting early ballots each day at city hall and a handful in Little Rock.
Fletcher and Elliott are both formidable candidates, having come out on top in a crowded field of four other candidates. Fletcher has the endorsement of realtor Beckie Brooks, who finished fourth, while Elliott has won the endorsement of Randy (Doc) Rhodd, who came in last with 16 votes.
The race could go either way. Just 183 votes separated the top two candidates in the first round, so it could be a close race next week. A few dozen votes might decide the outcome.
Voters should decide who will do the best job for the city, who will work the hardest to save the schools and the hospital, reduce crime, keep the special interests at arms length, encourage open government, discourage the flight of the middle class, maintain good relations with the air base and protect the environment by obeying anti-pollution laws. The list is long, but worthy goals for the citys next mayor.
You can still go to the polls even if you didnt vote in the May election. You can make a difference, especially in a close race. See you at the polls.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
They had an ice machine, and some breakfast The air conditioning didn't work, they found me a fan, manager never got back to me after several attempts to contact them.
The staff did try to help with air conditioner, but still was broken, they gave me a fan was still hot in room, if opened window was noisy, went down for breakfast and myself and several other people were looked out of room when we returned to them , had to have key recoded, just inconvenience. Had bed to sleep in.
Historical and unique hotel close to garden of the gods and manitou springs. Friendly staff and cool casita style rooms. Carpets could be changed, coffee (not just coffee maker) in room.
Fun bicycle festival going on in the lobby area, lodge grounds are large and include grassy area and swimming pool, also a lot of guests sat outside on patios in the evening. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Really like the updates done so far and will stay at Buffalo Lodge again when in the area. Room needed updating and a good carpet scrubbing, but beds were comfortable and sheets nice/cozy, bathroom very clean. Some rooms are already updated so they're making a difference.
location, polite staff. no heat, smelled like smoke.
The cleanliness was superb. The room was a decent value, for the most part. I have never felt more uncomfortable at a motel or hotel in my life. It was clear the owner had something against younger people. Multiple times she walked past our window, trying to peek in. As we exited the room, we were asked countless times whether we had a pet or not - in a very rude tone. As a respectful young adult, this was so highly offensive and uncomfortable that within an hour of being there I decided to let them keep the nights money, check out and find a new room. Especially offensive because I did not have a pet at all and it didn't make sense that I would be interrogated like a criminal as I opened the door to the manager standing there. If safety in town is a concern, then please choose a different location. After speaking to another guest as I was leaving, she informed me that someone had asked her if she was a "working woman." That alone helped me realize the side of town I was in. Honestly, if you want a good value and value your safety (and want to be in the center of everything) check out the Super 8 Garden of the Gods.
Did not lke Old fashioned
The owner was precious!! It was like going to visit a relative. She was helpful about ideas for things to do.You have a carport to park your car in. Very quiet with easy access to the interstate. The neighborhood is lower income. You have two rooms and a bathroom, the second room is very small.
It had a small town feel, very friendly and welcoming As a young single woman I was a little hesitant about the area but I had no issues. The bathroom was also fairly dirty. I wouldn't stay again.
They have attached garages between each unit so your vehicle stays out of the weather and you don't hear your next door neighbors!
Covered carport. Extra bed. Nothing
Two method addict's were fighting all night in tgevroom next to mine.... Two meth heads were fighting!..
Doesn't matter, got laid.
I liked this place because it's in the middle of everything and haveing my vehical next to my room covered parking is a plus. And can't beat the price also very nice family owned place. Everyone was so helpful.
A nice enough hotel. The manager called to verify that we were still arriving.
My husband and I stayed in Stagecoach motel for 5 nights. Room is clean, location is close to everywhere in town. Wifi is ok. Bed is comfortable and bathroom is clean. Covered carport next to room. Room heater is warm enough and extra queen bed in the small room. Overall, It good valued.
The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was clean and quiet, and the TV had a good channel selection. In addition, Mike, the owner, was very kind and accommodating.
Friendly & helpful staff. Well furnished rooms. Parking lot a little difficult to navigate.
Cute pool, nice staff, guest room bedroom feel Didn't like that the comforter had a bug and caterpillar on it, found two bottle caps behind the night stand, cigarette burn hole in the blanket, and no password given for free wifi
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean. Good access to our second-floor room with multiple options for stairs and parking.
I didnt like anything about it...
The view of Pikes Peak Not yo sound too spoiled, but there was no breakfast. (Fruit, cereal). However, there was coffee.
I went and paid the reservation and cancelled minutes later. Didn't receive a refund and the staff were not friendly. THERE WERE NO ROOMS AVAILABLE WE WERE TOLD TO WAIT ABOUT 45 MINUTES. Would not recommend. Front office was holding job interviews at the same time. Big mess.
Nothing staff was very rude lady informed me i could not have my service dog then there was no available rooms to ok i guess you can check in. And not even by 8 am was informed we need to check out someone else researved room drug dealers next door
The space No
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I guess the room seemed clean-ish though I wasn't going to be too confident in that fact. This is in a horrible part of town. There is a liquor store next to the motel and people who may or may not be vagrants outside. Kind of felt like we might get stabbed if we were outside the room. The room smelled like cigarette smoke.
Price This hotel was a little on t he scary side; however it did have a nice pool. It looks like folks actually live there. Furniture is old and room had a smell.
Nothing Many people were sleeping in cars in the parking lot. we were put in a room with no security lock and were put next to people who were 'residing' at the hotel.kids were allowed to run and scream till all hours, staff did nothing.
It was near where we wanted to be on our trip to see family. No coffee,curtains not darken,dirty,Wifi spotty.Linens had hairs so asked for change.Kids put blankets on floor then on bed. When I woke the next morning,I noticed small exoskeletons in my bed.I got bedbug bites. Mngr said were beetles.(in clean linen?)

It was easy to access right off of I-25 and upon arrival, the staff was friendly and helpful. If you are just looking for a place to lay your head for a night, it's just fine. If you are looking for a place with abundant amenities, then you may want to look elsewhere. There were a few stains on the carpets and breakfast was minimal, but still fine.
the room was very nice. had a fridge and microwave with was awesome. the staff was friendly. breakfast was crammed into a very small room, nothing was out both mornings i was there, and i had to go to the front desk, to kindly ask them to bring out coffee, yogurt, or more waffle batter. you would think they would be able to keep up with that?? parking for hotel is very small and limited. the elevator was broken for half the time we were there. water pressure in the shower was not good.

Deputies: Murder suspect boards school bus minutes after crime
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
A Harleyville murder suspect allegedly boarded a school bus filled with students just minutes after the crime, according to Deputies.
Officials said Steve Elmore is accused of murdering Mark Anthony Daniel early Friday morning off of Iris Lane in Dorchester County. It's a small, two lane road that was Laura Williams' definition of tranquility until that morning.
"I just walked my granddaughter out to get on the bus," Williams said. "I just heard a gunshot, and I came out the door, and I saw a gentleman just lying there."
According to authorities, Elmore's mother is a substitute school bus driver who pulled up to the scene, which was part of the bus route for Dorchester District 4 schools. When the mother pulled up, Deputies say Elmore boarded the bus, with the murder weapon in his hand, to speak with his mother.
Officials said Elmore did not stay on the bus for a long period of time, and the conversation was not violent. When students arrived to Woodland High School, they reported the situation to school officials saying they were frightened when the saw the dead body of the victim.
Williams' granddaughter was on that bus.
" I can't even think about it," she said. "I'm not sleeping good at night right now. I keep seeing it all over again every time I close my eyes."
Elmore is currently in jail charged with murder. Officials said Elmore will not face any additional charges for boarding the school bus. They also said that his mother is not facing any charges at this time.
Calls to Dorchester District 4 officials seeking comment for this story have not been returned.

San Jose, CA
Pan American gets the job done and done right every time! I've worked with Daniel every time I've brought my car in, over the years it's been about 5-6 times for various reasons, in this year, I've taken my car in twice.
Daniel made sure everything was as easy as possible with my insurance and I didn't really have to do much work, he took care of everything. My car always comes back just like new, like nothing ever happened!
I would recommend Pan American to all my friends and family, for my immediate family, our cars don't go to any other body shop than Pan American.
Milpitas, CA
After getting rear ended by an idiot who can't back up in the parking lot, I decided to confide in my fellow yelpers for a trust worthy body shop and found Pan American.
I was treated with prompt and great service by Dan. He patiently explained all the details, procedures, and evaluated the damage on my bumper.
I came back another day to drop off my car and was greeted by another nice gentleman that worked in the body shop (sorry forgot your name). He explained additional procedures and which parts would be fixed.
Dan was extremely helpful and frequently called me with updates on my car. He was able to deliver quality in the time that he promised.
Thank you Pan American for a great experience!
Union City, CA
This an OUTSTANDING auto body repair establishment.
After the front end of my 2007 Acura TL was destroyed by someone who backed into me at a red light, I took my car in to Pan American. I admit I was a bit skeptical since they were my insurance carrier's "preferred vendor". That's usually code for "cheapest service provider".
I did some shopping around at other local body shops that treated me like they really didn't want my business. From the moment I walked in the front door at Pan American, I got treated with respect and a sense of urgency. Very fast and accurate quotation, excellent interface with my insurance company, thorough explanation of what was going to be done, timely status updates throughout the repair process, and best of all, delivery ahead of schedule with quality that exceeded my expectations. What's more, they said that my insurance company would pay up to a certain limit for replacement parts, but they would exceed that limit and eat the difference in the interest of rendering superior service. What more can a customer ask for?
If you need auto body work, give these guys a try. You won't be disappointed.

Nevada, Dec 24 (IBNS) A US based Hindu group wants Allentown School District (ASD) in Pennsylvania (USA) to add Diwali, the most popular Hindu holy day, to the holiday calendar.
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA), urging ASD to announce Diwali as school holiday, said that it was important for Hindu families to celebrate Diwali day together at home with their children.
According to reports, Asians make-up sizeable part of Allentown's population and a large portion of those are of India descent.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, argued that awareness about other religions thus created by such holidays would make ASD pupils well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.
Diwali, the festival of lights, aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil.
Besides Hindus, Sikhs and Jains and some Buddhists also celebrate Diwali, which falls on November three in 2013.
Zed pointed out that few school districts in the neighboring New Jersey have already declared Diwali as holiday, while New Jersey Department of Education includes Diwali in its "List of Religious Holidays Permitting Pupil Absence From School".
Zed stressed that all school districts across USA should declare Diwali as school holiday.
ASD, third largest urban school system in Pennsylvania whose history goes back to 1774, has 17,283 students in 21 schools and five alternative programs, who originate from 43 countries and speak 26 languages.

HISTORICAL and REGIONAL Information
The area that the ranch is located on is part of an old land grant made by the Republic
of Texas to the original owners for services during the Texas Revolution. The original
paper work on this grant, in our possession, is signed by President Sam Houston.

Lake Buchanan is a man made lake, built during the 1930's. The original site for
the dam was selected before the Civil War, but was not constructed until the 30's.
The restraining dam that holds the Colorado River is the longest dam of its type in
the world. The lake is approximately 8 miles wide at its widest point and about 35 miles
in length. When the lake is full, it reaches 1020 feet above sea level. You will be
able to easily see "the high water mark" of the lake which is referred to locally as the
Ten-Twenty Line.
Before the construction of the lake, there were several towns and many farms, homes,
and ranches in the area now covered by the lake. When the water level in the lake declines,
it is possible to see many of these sites. If the water goes down far enough, it is possible to
go and "walk the streets" of the old Bluffton community. The streets, building foundations,
and many other relics are still in place. The original Bluffton cemetery was moved one grave
at a time to it present location on "high ground" during the construction of the lake. The
tombstones dating from 1850 thru 1934 are all on graves that were moved to facilitate the
lake construction.
The paved county road on the north side of the ranch, Shaw Island Road, is the old original
military-stage road that went from Austin to Fort Groggan (Burnet) to Fort Mason 50 miles to
the west. This was the same road that was traveled by Robert E. Lee and others stationed at
Fort Mason before the Civil War. They took the ferry to cross the Colorado River at
Bluffton and then proceeded on west to Fort Mason. As this road travels on west a few miles
it crosses the Little Llano River where the reputed "Lost Bowie Silver Mine" was located.
The exact location of this mine was lost when Jim Bowie died in the Alamo in 1836.
Llano County is widely known as the deer hunting capital of Texas. Hunting is a major industry
in the county. Each year more than 25,000 white tail deer are taken in the county. The granite
that was used to construct the state capitol building in Austin was quarried in this immediate
area. Most came from the Marble Falls area to the south, but some also came from the ranch
that joins us to the west. A special railroad was constructed during the 1880's to move the
granite to Austin from the Llano area.
There are many sites and neat places to visit or see while you are in the area. This is an area
that is rich in Texas history . Tours are available of the interior of Buchanan Dam, a cruise
up the Colorado River is available, and it is about an hour drive to Enchanted Rock State
Park. The Fall Creek Winery is only about 10 miles away and offers tours and
tastings on
the weekends.
Have fun.......its a great place to

Humility: An Undervalued But Crucial Business Asset
February 1, 2012 Columns
BY Erika Napoletano– Entrepreneur.com
Back in 1890, Rhode Island gave birth to something that almost died of a tragic ailment in 2005.
Narragansett Beer owned a 65 percent share of the New England beer market from 1919 to 1967 and was scooped up at its peak by Falstaff Brewing Corp. in 1965. By the early 1980s, the brand was in a downward spiral. Falstaff closed breweries and what was once a warm and friendly regional mainstay ("Hey neighbor–have a 'Gansett!") became a ghost of its former self.
Enter Mark Hellendrung, former CEO of Nantucket Nectars, and a group of Rhode Island investors who in 2005 saw potential in the dying 6,000 case-per-year brew. Six years later, Narragansett serves up more than 600,000 cases annually.
Last year, Narragansett's 120th anniversary weighed heavily on the guy who grew the iconic brand's distribution hundredfold in a mere six years.
"Don't screw this up," Hellendrung recalls thinking. "It's too good and too right to put it in the hands of someone who might screw it up."
But then he realized that screwing up the revitalized brand was the least of his worries for one simple reason: "It's not my brand or even our brand–it's a public trust," he says. "Our customers let us know what they want and we listen to them every day. If we get arrogant, we're going to hear about it–and fast."
So far this year, I've seen more than 75 startups pitch their goods to prospective investors. In every instance, I was able to say, "Yes. They have something." And they did. So what was it that resonated?
Humility. And while it takes confidence to push an idea into the marketplace, it's humility that prevents it from turning into arrogance, the idiot cousin of the confident businessperson.
"The difference between arrogance and confidence is self-awareness," says Jason Mendelson, founder and managing director of the Foundry Group. "The confident leader is self-aware of their customer's needs, their company's culture and the rapid changes that occur in their industry."
How do we avoid becoming the idiot cousin? We stay humble. Here are some thoughts to ponder as you bring your business down the road toward success:
- Ditch the swagger: Regardless of what you read in Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office or heard in the golf course locker room, people want to communicate with people who are respectful and humble. Swagger, while mildly impressive to some, is a turnoff for most.
- Communicate: Information flows both ways, but you can't listen when your mouth is moving. The best leaders are the best listeners and know when to turn down the noise and make a move.
- Know the difference: Humility is knowing we're going to get kicked (and when we least expect it) and striving to get kicked differently each time. Arrogance is thinking that no one would ever dare take aim.
Mind the line between confidence and arrogance and keep communicating. Given that only two-thirds of small businesses survive the first two years and fewer than half make it to the four-year point, we'd do well to embrace humility. After all, we never know who's listening and more important, who will have a great idea that helps us make the leap toward memorable, instead of becoming another forgettable casualty on the road of business.

In fact, the trailer of Settai, which was released on September 1, has recorded 4,45,321 views so far and it is expected to cross the five lakh mark by today. The interesting part of the story is that it fetched 2,79,139 lakh hits in just 48 hours after its release.
In the recent times, Gautham Menon's Neethaane En Ponvasantham fetched a record-breaking hits on YouTube. It got around 5.5 lakh views, thereby breaking the record of Ajith Kumar's Billa 2 teaser, which had fetched around 5.15 lakh views in two days.
However, Settai starring Arya, Hansika Motwani, Santhanam, Anjali, Premji Amaren, Nassar and others in the cast, is a remake of Bollywood movie Delhi Belly but unlike the Hindi movie, this movie is targeted at the family audience by cutting of all the adult dialogues in the movie.

Fatal Accident Summaries
for 2011
Man Falls Into Limestone Quarry
The body of a missing University of Wisconsin-Whitewater junior has been found at a limestone quarry after an apparent fall.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Office said the body of the 20-year-old victim was found on Monday at about 7:30 a.m.
Lisa Otterbacher, of Whitewater Police Department, said that a tip led authorities to a limestone quarry.
"We got a tip this morning and that's where our detectives went and that's where we found him," she said.
The body was located at the base of a gravel pit in the quarry. Authorities said that an initial investigation indicates he had fallen from a ledge. They say foul play isn't suspected.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday morning.

It might have been a difficult week for the broader sharemarket but that hasn't dissuaded directors of Australian listed companies from boosting their equity exposures over a wide range of industries.
Shares in media, internet, used car sales, resources and pharmaceutical companies have all featured in directors' trading over the past week.
Among the more interesting trades last week were purchases of shares in Seven West Media by non-executive director
On Monday this week, the company downgraded its expectations for full-year earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to between $610 million and $620 million, compared to a previous forecast of $630 million citing a weak advertising market. Mr McWilliam also exercised 500,000 options in Seven Group Holdings at a strike price of $7 a share. At current share price levels that implies a profit, on paper, of about $965,000.
Seven Group Holdings owns about 29.6 per cent of Seven West Media.
The transaction boosted Mr McWilliam's stake in Seven Group Holdings to more than 1.28 million shares. He also disclosed a hedging arrangement with broker Credit Suisse that protects the value of his shares in Seven Group Holdings until June 2012. A further 1 million options were not exercised.
In the internet sector, non-executive chairman Walter Pisciotta picked up another 77,000 shares in carsales.com.au worth about $355,000.
Mr Pisciotta is the second largest shareholder in the company with an 8.1 per cent stake.
In a week where commodity prices again fluctuated substantially and were generally on the slide, trading by directors of companies in energy and resources companies was more mixed.
Origin Energy chief executive Grant King sold 150,000 shares in the company at $16.21 a share, worth over $2.4 million. The sale came less than two weeks after Mr King took part in the company's entitlement offer to purchase 46,200 shares at $13 each. A spokesman for the company said it is Origin's policy not to comment on the individual financial transactions of company executives.
The chairman of uranium explorer Deep Yellow, Mervyn Greene, sold 3 million shares for $529,371. He now directly holds 21,945,000 shares in Deep Yellow. He sold the shares to settle a liability relating to an investment trust involving other investors.
Elsewhere, directors of small resources companies were active buyers of company stock.
Non-executive director John Shaw bought about $630,000 of shares in African copper explorer Discovery Metals, while non-executive director John Bulter bought about $137,000 of shares in oil and gas explorer Beach Energy.
The chief executive of West Australian iron ore explorer Cazaly Resources, Nathan McMahon, bought 400,000 shares in the company worth $134,000.
Elmar Schnee, a non-executive director in ChemGenex, sold $1.37 million of shares in the company, which is being taken over by US bio-pharmaceutical giant Cephalon.
