by Christopher Freeburn | November 26, 2013 9:49 amAs Chinese wireless carriers prepare to launch new 4G networks, the worldwide leader in mobile device chips has been hit with an anti-trust probe[3] by China's National Development and Reform Commission.
The regulatory investigation is seen as an effort by the government to bolster the position of Chinese companies in their licensing negotiations with Qualcomm (QCOM[4]). Device makers have to pay royalties to the chip maker for the processors used in smartphones on the new 3G/4G networks, Reuters notes.
Chinese carriers — including China Mobile (CHL[5]), China Unicom (CHU[6]) and China Telecom (CHA[7]) — are investing $16.4 billion in rolling out faster LTE networks across China. The new networks give Qualcomm — whose chips support both 3G and 4G Chinese networks — a six-to-nine month lead over other chip manufacturers in the rapidly expanding Chinese market.
In a research note, Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt said that the investigation was likely linked to the upcoming launch of China Mobile's 4G network early next year and "the negotiations on chip pricing and license pricing between Qualcomm and Chinese-based handset (makers) that are likely occurring right now."
China is already a significant revenue source for Qualcomm, generating $12.3 billion in revenue over the twelve month period that ended in September.
Qualcomm says it will cooperate with Chinese regulators. QCOM shares rose modestly in Tuesday morning trading.

The Chesapeake Bay Program's analysis of the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed reveals a resilient ecosystem that continues to face challenges from excess nutrients, chemical contaminants and ever-increasing resource demands. The Bay Barometer, released today, offers a science-based snapshot of long and short term health trends and watershed-wide progress by partners toward a healthy Bay ecosystem.
Though indicators of ecological health continue to reflect the reality of an impaired Bay, our restoration work and efforts to reduce the flow of nitrogen, phosphorous and sediment into rivers and streams give Bay officials cause for optimism. Similarly, new data provides insights on lag times across the watershed, or that period of time that occurs between restoration work and visible improvements in water quality. While lag times mean it will take time to see restoration results, they also give us reason for optimism: our actions do have an impact. Finally, CBP's new method for tracking the attainment of water quality standards in tidal segments of the Bay applies the most up-to-date science to historical data, offering a long-term perspective on how the Bay's waters have changed since 1985.
The following are some highlights from the 2012-13 Bay Barometer.
Some Positive Signs
Some Indicators of Impairments
Restoration Accomplishments
Factors to Consider
Full data and information can be found at "Track the Progress" on www.chesapeakebay.net. Visit our "Bay Resource Library" for videos, images and maps related to this release.
Determining the current health of the Bay and its tributaries is as complex as the ecosystem itself. Factors such as annual rainfall, river flow and the increasing need to meet demand for resources to support a growing population—food, housing, infrastructure—mean we have to understand the complex science if we are to bring the Bay into balance. The Chesapeake Bay Program's role is to offer the public all the data, in its most clear form, so that each person can assess the health of our waters, fisheries and habitats and the progress that partners and communities are making toward a restored ecosystem.
Looking at data over time helps scientists understand natural variations as well as the long-term effects of restoration efforts. The data provided in the 2012-13 Bay Barometer reflect the Bay's health over the course of many years, and in some cases, decades. The publication provides a snapshot of the best available information from 2012 and 2013 on the Bay's health and current efforts to protect and restore our national treasure and its watershed. Additionally, news bullets and "Learn the Issues" sections offer readers some context of other relevant work taking place in the watershed.
"Bay Program partners have made significant strides in moving us ever closer to a healthy, restored Bay watershed. Although we would like to see more immediate results from our actions, we will have to exercise persistence and patience as the actions we take to rebuild balance and resilience back into this complex ecosystem take effect and show up in the data from our monitoring networks. The Chesapeake Bay Partnership will continue to report health and restoration information each year, work to improve our science and reporting systems and look forward to observing the gains we will achieve from the work we are doing today."
--Nick DiPasquale, Director, Chesapeake Bay Program
"Restoring and protecting the Chesapeake Bay watershed is—and must be—a collaborative effort. As program partners work towards the goal of reducing nutrient and sediment pollution in the Chesapeake Bay, we will also work to protect and restore our habitats, fisheries and local waters. Whether we are talking about urban or agricultural lands, we all must do our part for the health of our waters and the environment."
--Keith A. Anderson, Chair, Chesapeake Bay Program Principals' Staff Committee and Director, District Department of the Environment

If you haven't been to The Bayshore Bar in a while, you're in for a pleasant surprise. The illustrious North Cape May establishment, more formally known as The Bayshore Inn Restaurant, Bar and Liquors, has undergone an ownership change and complete renovation in the past few years, adding more open space, changing its menus and shaking things up by bringing in live entertainment several nights a week.
"It's the local town tavern, and it needed some TLC," says one of its new owners, Jim Linnington, who took over the business with Ed Niemann in 2010. "We gave it a breath of fresh air."
Linnington is the former owner of the now-closed Mangia Mangia Restaurant in Cape May, which he sold in 2007 with plans to retire.
"I attempted restaurant retirement, and it didn't work well for me," he says. "I missed the action, so when this opportunity came up, I took it."
As it is now, The Bayshore Bar serves lunch and dinner daily with a happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and live entertainment four days a week, featuring live bands every Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., karaoke on Tuesdays, also from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., and trivia on Sunday, starting at 9 p.m.
"At 10 p.m., this place converts to Club Bayshore," Linnington says, adding on that half of dining room is cleared out to create a small dance floor.
For those looking for a more chilled atmosphere, The Bayshore Bar also has a pool table, several flat-screen TVs, a juke box and plenty of seating around its full bar.
"People can come belly up to our bar, watch a game, and we'll thrown down a big bowl of popcorn," Linnington says. The full menu is also available at the bar.
Every Thursday at The Bayshore Bar is 'Open Juke Box Night' when patrons become juke box disc jockeys, playing their favorite songs for free.
Entertainment lineup: Tuesdays: Karaoke with DJ Jimmy J; Thursdays: Open Jukebox and Wing Night, with free jukebox 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Friday: Mystery Machine; Saturday: No Pressure; Sundays: Trivia Night with Jackie and Jimmy.
What: The Bayshore Bar
Where: 3832 Bayshore Road, North Cape May 609-886-2200
When: 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., lunch starts 11 a.m.

Early summer opening predicted for pool
Walhalla Mayor Danny Edwards predicted today his city will be able to open its swimming pool "sometime in July" and become the county's only municipality to offer public swimming. Edwards made the prediction today to the Rotary Club, thanking all of the volunteers and prison labor who are making the pool opening a reality. "The pumps work," the mayor said. Edwards called amazing the amount of money donated to the project, the latest being $500 from a donor the mayor did not name. He said he doesn't want to single out anyone above anyone else in the project, but paid special thanks to County Councilman Wayne McCall and Russell Price, president of the Oconee Home Builders Association.

The new version of the concert documentary will feature 40 minutes of new footage and run in U.S. theaters for only a week.
One hundred and five minutes are not enough to comprise Justin Bieber's road to fame, thus Paramount Pictures has decided to feature 40 minutes of new footage in director's fan cut of "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never". This new version will grace RealD and 3D Digital Screens in theaters across the U.S. starting this Friday, February 25 for only one week.
"I realized I had an embarrassment of riches when I was I in the cutting room," director Jon Chu reasons. "This cut allows me to retain some of the best scenes from the original movie, while incorporating previously unseen footage and new material I shot during our extensive promotional tour on behalf of the movie."
The director's fan cut version will include "more of Justin's friends and hometown life, new songs and performances, and special footage shot at fan premiere's across the country." Adam Goodman, President Paramount Film Group, claims the new version will give "fans an even deeper look into Justin's life."
This concert documentary, which opened nationwide on February 11 to critical acclaim, earned $30 million in its initial weekend and earned an A plus Cinemascore from women (an A overall). A studio exec adds, "We had a solid hold this weekend. But we're looking to keep the momentum and get a 3rd weekend."
Tickets for "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" director's fan cut go on sale Tuesday at 5 P.M. PST.

|As dynamic robot behaviors become more capable and well understood, the need arises for a wide variety of equally capable and systematically applicable transitions between them. We use a hybrid systems framework to characterize the dynamic transitions of a planar "legged" rigid body from rest on level ground to a fully aerial state. The various contact conditions fit together to form a topologically regular structure, the "ground reaction complex". The body's actuated dynamics excite multifarious transitions between the cells of this complex, whose regular adjacency relations index naturally the resulting "leaps" (path sequences through the cells from rest to free flight). We exhibit on a RHex robot some of the most interesting "words" formed by these achievable path sequences, documenting unprecedented levels of performance and new application possibilities that illustrate the value of understanding and expressing this vocabulary systematically.

By Piero Selvaggio and Karen Stabiner
people in Los Angeles may not realize that Piero Selvaggio's
mother is their favorite cook. Sure, they've returned
countless times to Valentino restaurant in Santa Monica,
Selvaggio's nationally acclaimed Italian eatery, and
feasted on specialties. They may also be familiar
with Selvaggio's legendary personal service and award-winning
140,000-bottle wine cellar, but the food and philosophy
often stem right from the Brooklyn by-way-of-Sicily
dinner table of Lina, Selvaggio's mother.
a true rags-to-riches start as a busboy at the Beverly
Hills Hotel before opening Valentino when he was 25
in 1972, Selvaggioalways the front-of-the-house
manquickly figured out that what kept people
coming back were not just fancy, upscale dishes, but
interpretations of his mother's hearty, very down-to-earth
favorites. Twenty-nine years later that same philosophy
is the backbone of The Valentino Cookbook,
his first cookbook.
knew that mix was the key," said Selvaggio when
interviewed. "People want fancy sometimes, they
want innovative sometimes, but they also want pure
comfort cuisine sometimes. I was very firm that I
didn't want this to be some kind of coffee-table chichi,
glossy book, but, instead, one that would be the greasiest
one in a person's kitchen because they use it so much."
there are lots of interpretations of Lina's simple,
yet extremely flavorful, pasta dishes and other favorites
like her artichokes stuffed with breadcrumbs, anchovies,
garlic and parsley.
there are also plenty of the cutting-edge specialties
Valentino is known for in Los Angeles, and also at
an equally popular branch of the restaurant at The
Venetian in Las Vegas: lobster tortino with champagne
sauce, and crêpes with either duck and mustard
in red wine cream sauce or porcini mushrooms in a
sweet red pepper sauce.
it comes to both comfort and luxury food, the quality
of the ingredients is what Selvaggio lives by. "In
good Italian cooking, it's the distinctiveness and
quality of each ingredient that counts," said
Selvaggio, who captured his ideas for the book with
the help of food writer Karen Stabiner. "A platter
with the best carpaccio, mozzarella and tomatoes is
impeccable. You can serve your pasta, as we sometimes
do, with just pecorino cheese, sweet onions and olive
oil, but that should be the best pecorino, sweet onions,
olive oil and pasta you can get your hands on."
knows all about that. In the 1970s and 1980s, he was
the first to introduce diners to what have now become
staples: buffalo mozzarella, truffles and boutique
olive oils. Currently, his frequent trips to Italy
have him featuring, with pasta or salads, bottargaa
caviar-like delicacy which is the dried roe of fish,
like tuna or mullet, pressed, salted and dried in
the sun. It maintains the distinct flavor of whichever
fish is used.
attention to detail when it comes to ingredients is
almost as legendary as his personalized service. He
uses, for instance, only Latini pasta (like bottarga,
it is available in some upscale supermarkets and Italian
markets). This is an "artisan" pasta that's
"aged" for precisely the exact amount of
time (3 to 4 days) to keep the wheat flavor pristine
and is sold in numbered and signed boxes (e.g., box
18,251 out of a production of 20,000).
Selvaggio stresses that anyone can bump up the quality
of their Italian cooking without making special purchases.
"To start with," he said, "make sure
you are performing the small steps to cook your pasta
to its fullest potential. It's amazing how many people
never learned correctly at the outset."
the hardcover book's treasures: profound wine-pairing
tips and information befitting his unparalleled reputation;
equipment notes; and priceless personal stories. Here
are Selvaggio's pasta tips.

Democracy for sale
VOTERS, politicians and pundits may see March 24 as the voice of the people in action, but shopping centre operators are far more sanguine. For them democracy is just another product somebody is trying to flog.
AMP Capital, the owner of nine shopping centres around NSW including Marrickville Metro and Warringah Mall, charges big political parties $200 a pop to run election stalls on Saturdays.
"Our centres are open to the Liberals, Labor, the Nationals and the Democrats and the Greens. But whether they are selling votes or anything else, we regard the leasing of space to people to display a product as a simple commercial transaction" said a company spokeswoman, Tanny Tsanis.
But the company does not allow independent candidates to shop for votes in its centres.
The Greens spokesman Derek Maitland said he had dropped plans to campaign in Marrickville Metro when he learned independents were banned. "Talk about undemocratic," he said.
But profitable. Other shopping centre owners do much the same but stay quiet about it. Theoretically AMP could take more than $40,000 nationally each Saturday during a federal election campaign.

Wes Welker Vacations with a Blow-Up Doll
[tweet https://twitter.com/MitchPavelis/status/434048874614116352]
After a Super Bowl loss, it's totally normal to want to get away. That's exactly what Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker did this week, accompanied by his wife and ... a blow-up doll?
It's not clear why Welker & Co. brought the doll with them to the beach. Maybe they wanted it as an emergency flotation device? Whatever the reason, the doll can be seen in multiple photos with Welker on his island adventure.

About Us
The recreated 9th New York Cavalry includes people from all age groups and all walks of life. People become reenactors for many reasons, but all experience and enjoy reliving aspects of the Civil War era, as well as the company of many new friends. We are a family-oriented unit and encourage any and all new members. The idea of Civil War reenacting is to preserve and perpetuate the memory of the common people who did so much to shape our nation during the War Between the States. While working to achieve this goal, reenactors learn more about the period through first hand experience.
Who Becomes a Reenactor?
Anybody can become a reenactor. The 9th New York includes men, women, children, and families. Active members of the unit range in age from 13 to 65 years old. The unit welcomes soldiers, functional musicians (i.e. buglers), civilian gentlemen, ladies, children, and any other period impression a member can think of. Reenacting has a role for anyone. In general, reenactors are people with a special interest in the Civil War, although there is no requirement that you have any special knowledge about the war. As reenactors, the culmination of this interest in the war is an accurate representation of a Civil War soldier or civilian to the public, your fellow reenactors, and to yourself. If you think that you might be interested in joining the 9th, check out the Learn More page.
Organization of the 9th
The 9th NY Cavalry, Company B, is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our board of directors is comprised of a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, elected from among our members at a general meeting. We also elect one Captain, one Corporal, and one Lance Corporal for military rank structure. Depending on the number of troopers at a given event, the officer and non-commissioned officers may "brevet" to the next rank, or be temporarily "reduced in rank" for the duration of that event. Customarily, the highest ranking military officer or non-commissioned officer present from the unit is in charge of the unit and our bivouac area for the duration of any given event. Our military rank structure is also responsible for ensuring the safety of all members on and off the battlefield. For larger events, especially those of a national scope, we are members of the 1st Federal Cavalry Regiment of the Federal Volunteer Brigade, and will work together with other member units to form larger units for those events.

The Historical 9th NY Cavalry
It would be truly impossible to tell the story of the 9th New York Cavalry during the Civil War as well or as thoroughly as one of its own members, Captain (brevet Major) Newel Cheney. Cheney's book, from which the above image is taken, is titled History of the Ninth Regiment, New York Volunteer Cavalry. War of 1861 to 1865. Published in 1901, this work is and remains to be the definitive history of the 9th New York. If you want to read more, check out Cheney's book, which is now public domain and may be found in its entirety on Google Books. Below, we will attempt to give you the "brief version" of what these brave men accomplished during perhaps the most horrific four years in American History
Organization of the Ninth New York Cavalry
"The Ninth New York Cavalry began its organization in September 1861, by the volunteering of men for cavalry service in the counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Wyoming in this state and in adjoining towns of Warren County, Pennsylvania... ten companies from Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Wyoming counties, assembled at Westfield during September and October, established camp on the fair grounds and began taking lessons in camp duties and cavalry tactics. The camp was named Camp Seward, in honor of Wm. H. Seward, then Secretary of State and who had at one time resided at Westfield... "
Battle Flag of the Ninth Regiment, New York State Cavalry
Major Battles and Campaigns
The Ninth New York took part in a total of 141 separate engagements. Some of the more prominent battles and campaigns the Ninth participated in are listed below:
End of the War
The 9th New York was mustered out of service on July 17, 1865, having served in nearly every major campaign of the Army of the Potomac from the beginning of their service in the fall of 1861. Seven members of the 9th were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for their actions during the war. The 9th New York was officially commended for its services during the Appomattox Campaign leading to the surrender of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, thus leading to the end of the war, by the commanding officer of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Colonel (brevet Brigadier General) Charles Fitzhugh in Special Order No. 27 dated June 4th, 1865:
"... At the battles of the Five Forks, Sailor's Creek, Scott's Cross Road and Appomattox C. H. their behavior under their gallant leader, Major Dinnin, elicited the highest commendation, and their stubborn valor on all occasions assisted materially in the success achieved over the enemy. Their glorious record will always be one of the brightest chapters in the history of the 2nd Brigade."
A total of 1,963 men enlisted in the 9th New York Cavalry for service during the war. Many of these joined too late to see active service during the war. In addition, a large number were sick, on detached service, or at dismounted camp without horses, awaiting remounts. These factors, coupled with casualties, meant that the 9th averaged about 350 to 400 effectives in the line of battle.
There is a high price to pay to preserve freedom. 97 members of the 9th New York Cavalry gave their "last full measure of devotion," and were killed in action or died as a result of combat wounds. 127 men died of disease due to poor hygiene in camps and the limitations of medical treatment of the day. In total, 224 men of the 9th gave their lives to preserve the Union. In addition, 270 men were wounded in action but recovered, and 139 were captured. Total combat losses of the 9th New York, including killed, wounded, and captured, were 506 officers and enlisted men.
Further Reading
If you want to learn more about the 9th New York Cavalry and their heroic contributions to the war effort, please see Major Cheney's excellent book. The summary of the 9th's service presented herein is taken from that text. Again, that book may be found online on Google Books. There are also innumerable other works on the Civil War, about various units, battles, campaigns, armies, and even individual persons. It would be far too difficult to list them all here, however, if you want a recommendation for further reading about any specific subject, contact us and we will do our best to provide you with a source to suit your needs.

These simple paper light tents have worked well for me for the few times I've had to do product photography or stock photography with objects isolated from the background.
There are many more DIY light tent tutorials available online. Some are more complicated but durable, some require more craftsmanship while others are simpler. All you have to do is search a little:

When 11th-seeded Colorado takes on No. 3 Baylor in Albuquerque Saturday night (8:40 p.m. ET, TNT) the Buffaloes will not only have the pressure of trying to pull a major upset in the South Region, but also they'll have the added weight of carrying the hopes an entire conference.
Colorado, the Pac-12 champion, is the only school remaining in the tournament from the beleaguered conference. The Pac-12 sent just two teams and Cal was eliminated in the opening round earlier this week.
Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle admitted on Thursday night, after Colorado knocked off UNLV, that he felt responsible for carrying the banner for his conference. On Friday, Boyle's players found themselves answering similar questions.
"I think the Pac-12 is a better league than what it's gotten credit for this year," said guard Nate Tomlinson. "There are a lot of tough teams at the top of the league that battled all year. I was very surprised with what Cal did the other night."
Forward Austin Dufault doesn't believe the conference needs defending.
"I think the Pac-12's a good league," said the senior. "I don't think by any means we have to go out there and prove our league or anything like that."
Guard Carlon Brown says the Buffaloes can't worry about the Pac-12.
"We're not necessarily carrying a torch ourselves for the Pac-12, but we know that's what the media's building upon and what the Pac-12 wants us to do," Brown said. "But mainly we're playing for ourselves, each other, our fans and our coaching staff."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2013 (1329 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When Janelle Nadeau talks about Winter Harp, there's a mix of excitement and awe in her voice -- like a little girl on Christmas Eve. The 27-year-old Vancouver-via-Winnipeg harpist has been involved with the acclaimed touring show for eight years and is still struck by its magic.
And Winter Harp, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this season, is definitely magical. Under the direction of acclaimed composer/arranger/harpist Lori Pappajohn, Winter Harp's estimable players -- who specialize in Celtic, medieval and classical music -- make one feel as though they've stepped into a pre-Raphaelite painting. Candlelight flickers off golden harps played by angelic musicians clad in velvet gowns, their ethereal music shining like a silvery moon in the darkest nights of December. Flute, percussion, medieval instruments, vocals and readings complete the experience.
"The music is so beautiful," Nadeau says with a happy little sigh, over the phone from Vancouver. "We really have created a beautiful concert to give to people as a gift. It's a time of year when our hearts are open. It's about family and friends and gathering together. It's a time when our emotions come out more. Lori really tries to create a show that allows people to get into that space. There's no other show that evokes the spirit of Christmas that Winter Harp does."
Pappajohn echoes that sentiment. "It's different than any Christmas concert you'll go to. We have these beautiful medieval-style gowns we perform in that are breathtaking and we have these spectacular backdrops as well, so there's this visual layer. Even before the first note is played, it's magical," she says.
It's also a visceral, emotional experience for many people. Christmas stirs up memories.
"People go to deep places at Winter Harp," Pappajohn says. She recalls being on a Vancouver street on a hot summer day waiting for the light to change when a woman approached her. "She said, 'You don't know me, but I was at Winter Harp and it changed my life.'"
Nadeau says the show is just as goosebump-inducing for the players on stage. "The crowd hovers a bit before giving into the applause. It's very special to be a part of something so powerful."
For Nadeau, performing in Winter Harp in her hometown brings back happy memories of driving down Portage Avenue to see the lights and getting to wear a new fancy dress to a party.
"Winnipeg gets more into the Christmas spirit than anywhere else. People come in from the cold with their big coats, and they run into people they haven't seen in a while. There's already a wonderful vibe," she says.
The show's emotional potency goes a long way in explaining its mass appeal. Nadeau recalls a letter she received from a young man who was "dragged" (his word) to Winter Harp by his girlfriend. "He said it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen."
Nadeau, a graduate from the harp performance program at UBC, began playing with Winter Harp at just 19. She credits it with launching her career.
"For Lori to take the risk she took to hire someone so young, I'm indebted to her. I'm very fortunate to be working as a full-time musician. If it weren't for Lori, I wouldn't be where I am today," she says.
Pappajohn was struck by the young harpist's versatility. "The music we play -- only one to two per cent of harpists are trained to play it," she says. "When I was auditioning, I had heard of her, and her age was irrelevant. I just wanted someone who could play the music. She was classically-trained and she hadn't even heard of this music -- but she had incredible passion. I could tell that she would take to this, and she's eaten it up."
Nadeau will be playing alongside harp legend Kim Robertson, a mentor of Pappajohn's.
"That's who I learned from. It's full-circle having Kim play," Pappajohn says.
Nadeau is poised to become another legend in the harp world. Her CV is already impressive. She's performed with the Vancouver Opera, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Canada National Youth Orchestra. She's played in Kanye West's backing band and with Frank Sinatra Jr.
She's also made a name for herself as a soloist, thanks to her youthful approach; in her hands, the harp is not only beautiful, it's cool.
"It's a very diverse career. There's always something around the corner," she says with a laugh.
While the big shows come with a certain cachet, it's the more intimate gigs -- like Winter Harp -- Nadeau is drawn to. She cherishes her work with the Health Arts Society, a Canadian organization that presents professional concerts in residential care homes across the country.
"Those are the people that don't get to have these kinds of experiences any other time. A lot of them can't go out any more. Those people need it most, and that's so profound for me," she says.

In case you hadn't noticed, not a heck of a lot has changed on Wall Street in the last year, despite various banking behemoths' successful pleas for federal aid to float them out of the recession they were instrumental in creating. Well, that's about to change—or so President Barack Obama says, at least.
The president sent a message to the financial industry Thursday, talking reform in sweeping strokes and claiming that he's ready to do battle—tough talk from a president who might just need to prove his mettle after suffering some sizable political setbacks of late. —KA
"While the financial system is far stronger today than it was one year ago, it is still operating under the exact same rules that led to its near collapse," Mr Obama said.
His proposals also include a ban on retail banks from using their own money in investments - known as proprietary trading. Instead, banks would be limited to investing their customers' funds.
"Banking reforms do not come bigger than those proposed by President Obama," the BBC's business editor Robert Peston said.
This may mean that some of the US' biggest banks, such as Bank of America and JP Morgan, whose shares were badly hit, may have to be broken up.

Hands-on Gear Review
Alite Monarch Butterfly Review
Cons: Expensive, requires time to set up and stow away, not very stable.
Our Verdict
The Alite Monarch Butterfly is the most innovative camp chair we have seen and wins our Top Pick award. It was the lightest and most compact chair we tested and had the coolest design. It lets you sit off the ground and feel like you are floating on air. We have not seen a camp chair that lets you sit off the ground that is nearly as light or compact. It did not win Editors' Choice because it is not that stable or versatile compared to the other camp chairs. Even on flat surfaces some testers had trouble getting used to it. On unstable surfaces like sand or gravel, it almost takes more work to stay balanced than is worth it. If you are looking for a really cool, light and compact chair, the Alite Monarch may be it. If you want a more versatile and stable chair, we would recommend the Crazy Creek Hex 2.0 PowerLounger. The PowerLounger is faster and easier to set up, very stable, can by unfolded to be shared and doubles as a sleeping pad. Or, if you just want the best value in a camp chair, we recommend the Crazy Creek Original.

Last Updated:

What could be more mundane than a chair, the most basic of human furniture designs. And yet, Alite found a way to make it cool. We see a lot of gear here at OutdoorGearLab and only every once in a while does a product really turn our heads. This is one of those products. It's a great gift for your outdoorsy relative who probably has seen it all.
Novelty aside, this chair is really comfortable. It overcomes the No. 1 problem with most lightweight camp chairs: they squeeze in on your sides. Not so with the Monarch, which has a nice open mitt for your rump.
The reclining position is comfortable and lets you effortlessly rock back and forth.
The chair keeps you a foot off the ground, which no other lightweight camp chair does. This ideal for wet grass and dewy dirt. Around a campfire you can sit eye level with the people who forgot their chairs and are sitting on a rock.
This chair is limited in its applications and not nearly as versatile as other camp chairs. What it does well, it does really well. But there are a number of situations where it fails:
Sand? The chair sinks and generally leans to one side.
Hill or incline; hard to stay balanced.
Snow? Forgetaboutit.
Concerts? The person behind you may not be happy.
Use as sleeping pad or for a quick nap? Nope.
Some people may have trouble balancing in the chair. In our tests we had a few dozen different people try this chair for the first time. Their reactions were always the same:
So it takes some getting used to. But even then, this chair is not for everyone. You have to be in reasonably good shape. We would not recommend it to anyone with bad knees or a bad back because it takes a fairly committing and balancy move to get into it.

ACM Conference Features Expanded Focus on High Integrity Language Technology
Edmund Clark, Jeannette Wing Join Experts Assessing Challenges of Safety-Critical Software
The Association for Computing Machinery
Advancing Computing as a Science & Profession
Contact: Virginia Gold
Printable PDF file
PITTSBURGH – October 22, 2013 – Leading experts in language technology for high-integrity systems will present their findings at a forum featuring innovative research, practical experience, and workable solutions. The High Integrity Language Technology (HILT) conference, to be held November 10-14 at the Wyndham Pittsburgh University Center Hotel, is presented by ACM's Special Interest Group on Ada (SIGAda). Ada is the high-level programming language designed for applications where correctness, safety, reliability, and maintainability are primary requirements. The program includes ACM Turing Award recipient Edmund M. Clarke of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) on "Model Checking and the Curse of Dimensionality" among the keynote speakers.
"A significant factor affecting whether and how the requirements for high integrity software are met are the chosen language technologies," says Jeff Boleng of Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), who chairs HILT 2013. He added that the supporting tools are equally important. "It's not just the programming languages but the languages for expressing specifications, program properties, domain models, and other attributes of the software or overall system" he said.
In her keynote, Jeannette Wing, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Research, will address formal methods from an industrial perspective. She notes that the engines of formal methods are now more sophisticated, widely applicable, and scalable, resulting from advances in theorem proving, model checking, satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers, and program analysis. They affect a wide range of domains from biology to mathematics. They also impact systems from asynchronous systems to spreadsheets; and they affect properties from security to program termination. She will cover outstanding challenges and new directions for research in formal methods.
In another keynote, John Goodenough of CMU's SEI will elaborate on "Building Confidence in System Behavior." In his presentation he asks, "If the use of a language or tool increases our confidence in the behavior of high-integrity software systems, why does it do so? What do we mean by confidence, and what is a justified basis for asserting some level of confidence?" He will address recent research on the potential value of thinking about confidence in terms of eliminative induction, assurance cases, and confidence maps.
Michael Whalen of University of Minnesota will deliver an invited presentation titled "Up and Out: Scaling Formal Analysis Using Model-Based Development and Architecture Modeling." He observes that systems are often constructed middle-out rather than top-down; compatibility with existing systems and architectures, or availability of specific components influences high-level requirements. He will emphasize that requirements and architectural design should be more closely aligned, meaning that requirements models must account for hierarchical system construction, and that architectural design notations must better support specification of requirements for system components. He will also describe tools supporting iterative development of architecture and verification based on software models.
The conference features an extensive technical program of tutorials and presentations by researchers, practitioners, developers, and users from academic institutions, industry and government. Tutorials cover Bounded Model Checking, Contract-Based Programming, Domain-Specific Languages, and Proving Safety of Parallel Programs. Sessions are devoted to Formal Verification Toolsets, High-Integrity Parallel Programming, Model-Based Integration and Code Generation, Architecture-Level Design Languages, Compositional Verification, and Approaches to Software Safety and Security.

Wisconsin Environmental Health Nurses Coalition
In October 2006, the WNA Board of Directors approved the formation of a new Special Interest Group, the Wisconsin Environmental Health Nurses Coalition (WEHNC). The intent of WEHNC is to serve as a vehicle for nurses from a variety of settings and diverse backgrounds to:
1. Explore and share information related to environmental health and
2. Enhance networking to improve health through environmental initiatives that impact practice, education, research and advocacy.
WNA welcomes the formation of this new SIG as it will afford us the opportunity to better address the environmental health issues and topics that come before us. WNA will utilize WEHNC as a resource and consultant on reviewing legislative proposals, implementing activities that are supported by the Board of Director or membership and providing expertise on nurse and patient safety practices related to environmental health.
WEHNC members are WNA members who are interested in this speciality area. WEHNC has a Steering Committee consisting of a chairperson, secretary, treasurer, and committee chairpersons. The Steering Committee complies with the WNA Bylaws. Members meet annually at the WNA Convention. Membership is open to nurses working in a variety of settings including, but not limited to, hospitals, occupational health, community-based, public health agencies, and schools, since environmental health principles impact all settings and specialty areas.

REDDITCH'S Kingfisher Shopping Centre donated over £160,000 worth of promotional space to local charities to carry out their activities last year.
The donation, which took the form of free space within the centre and help to organisations to promote their charities, is something the Kingfisher team has brought to the centre since a new management team was installed to help engage with the wider community around Redditch.
Charities such as the Stroke Association and Women's Aid have taken advantage of the Kingfisher's help over the past year and raise money for their causes by being positioned in the heart of the 20th largest shopping destination in the UK.
Ken Williams, general manager of the centre, which has recently been purchased by Capital and Regional, said: "We are delighted that we have been able to offer so much help to local charities allowing them to fund-raise for their excellent causes.
"We really want to be at the centre of the community here in Redditch and hope that we can continue to work with the charities and community groups.
"There have been some fantastic organisations represented over the past year and we are just thankful that we were able to facilitate them by providing space."

AMES, Iowa -- A field of 116 golfers braved the 113-degree heat index to raise more than $55,000 for Iowa 4-H'ers during the 15th Annual 'Going for the Green' 4-H Golf Benefit July 18 at the Wakonda Club in Des Moines.
Twenty-nine teams participated in a best ball tournament, which included several hole contests and a putting competition. Chuck Goodrich, Des Moines, putted his way to a first place finish, winning a $500 pre-paid VISA Card sponsored by the Iowa Gaming Association.
Prizes went to the first place teams in each of the three flights. Becker Underwood of Ames won the championship flight with a score of 59. Bridgestone/Firestone Ag of Des Moines shot a 68 to win the second flight, and Successful Farming, Des Moines, won the third flight with an even par.
After a full day of golf, guests enjoyed an evening social, awards program and benefit auction featuring 35 silent and live auction items.
"We are very happy with the turnout for the Central Iowa Golf Benefit," said Albert Grunenwald, associate director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. "It was great to see everyone come together on an extremely hot day to keep 4-H programs available for all youth in our state."
4-H is the largest youth development organization in Iowa with more than 20 percent of its funding coming from private contributions through the Iowa 4-H Foundation. The 4-H Foundation will host a second golf tournament in eastern Iowa at the Blue Top Ridge Golf Course in Riverside on August 25. More information can be found online at www.iowa4hfoundation.org.

|Charles Hoyt, OPR's Superintendent of Construction, begins an inspection of New Hampshire's highways (through August 12) at the request of Governor Robert Bass. In Bulletin No. 42, issued February 6, 1912, Hoyt reports that "the condition of the highways was found to be much better than was expected."
|The contract for the last leg of the Dalles-California Highway in Deschutes National Forest, OR, is awarded to John Hampshire of Grants Pass. Completion of this project opens the last link in a highway that extends from The Dalles, OR, to the CA line.
|After the House turns down the proposed Federal-aid Interstate bill by a 127-to-292 vote, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issues a statement: "There is a difference of conviction, I realize, over means of financing this construction . . . . Adequate financing there must be but, and this is the important part, contention over the method of financing should not be permitted to deny our people these critically needed roads."
"The nation badly needs new highways. The good of our people, of our economy and of our defense, requires that construction of these highways be undertaken at once."

Early in Saved!, Mary (Jena Malone) discovers to her astonishment that she's pregnant.
A student at the American Eagle Christian High School in Baltimore, she'd always considered sex before marriage a threat to her salvation.
She'd believed that her attempt to cure her boyfriend (Chad Faust) of his brewing homosexuality didn't really count, that it had been authorised by the birth-control deities. It was God's will and she was only doing her duty.
Now she's horrified, not only because of the corridor gossip, but also because whats happened actually is a challenge to her faith.
The first feature for Brian Dannelly, who also shares screenplay credit with Michael Urban, Saved! is sympathetic to Mary's situation, but it also has her Christian fundamentalism in its satirical sights, something the filmmakers know about from their own experiences.
Essentially Saved! is a straightforward high-school movie with a single difference: all the characters are identified via their proclaimed relationships with God, or their lack of them. And at the level of observation, it's often very funny.
"Who's down with G-O-D?" asks the oh-so-hip pastor (Martin Donovan).
And when Jewish outsider Cassandra (Eva Amurri, daughter of Susan Sarandon and director Franco Amurri) sees Mary furtively visiting a Planned Parenthood Clinic downtown, she observes to her wheelchairbound friend Roland (Macaulay Culkin), "There's only one reason a Christian girl would go there". To which he quips, "She's planting a pipe-bomb?"
But it's also overly concerned that audiences should leave thinking well of everyone, even Hilary (Mandy Moore), the bitchy teen queen for Jesus.
And as a result, the satire ends up somewhat blunted.

Interviewed by: Richard Vasseur - (Posted: 3/8/2009)
Richard: What do you think of the creative changes that have been made throughout ANT's existance as a comic? Mario: I think the changes were appropriate when I did them. I would say, looking back that the different writers I had on the book gave Ant a different voice and feel. Though, I realize that Ant's true voice can really only come from my head. Because her story and the heart of the book is really my story. I think that's a big reason for the book's success. If something is working you should keep it going. Fans tell me they like my story, my writing and my art. It's time to give'em what they want.
I do have regrets about the different aspects of Ant and the different publishers I went to. I plan to give continuity and a steady foundation for the series in 2009 and forward.
Richard: Who will be the publisher when ANT returns in 2009?
Mario: I Can't disclose that at this time. The publisher wants to make an formal announcement and we are really focusing of taking our time and doing this new Ant series justice. She's going back to her roots. That's the only hint I can give at this point.
Richard: Will you be doing double duty as both artist and writer when ANT returns? Mario: Yes. I think Ant needs a boost and a solid relaunch. I think the best guy to do the art and writing is myself. I also miss doing her and I'm real juiced up about her being out again. Plus it's really easy to yell at the artist and the writer if things get's messed up. Richard: Where will this new "ANT" series take place continuity wise in comparison to the other series? Mario: It's "Days like these" part two. It takes place 8 years after Ant Vol.1 ended from the Arcana version.
But, this series is designed to stand alone. You won't need to read any of the previous volumes to get this series. But, there will be goodies in this one for the true Ant fans. Keep in mind I'm doing this new book to relaunch Ant and to move forward. This will set the tone for the series into the future.
Richard: Have you ever met a woman who has some of the qualities of Hanna (ANT) Mario: I think most women have qualities that Hannah does. She's a young lady that won't be defined by her appearance, gender or ethnicity. She's a person that has had a calling in her life and she is trying to live up to that calling. Most of the times are tough and her life is surrounded by turmoil. She does't have enormous resources. But, she has the hope that she can change the world even though nobody believes in her or supports her. Not only does this applies to women, I think it applies to most people that have hope in better days to come that have worked hard to stand on their two feet.
Richard: What has been keeping you busy the past year?
Mario: I've been penciling for Marvel basically the whole year and the end of last year. I wrote and produced Ant Unleashed. Penciled Ant Unleashed issue 3. I drew variant covers for all the Big City titles for a month. At Marvel, I penciled 6 issues of Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island, Marvel Adventures Hulk issue 6. Drew a few pages in an Exiles one shot. I penciled and inked The Marvel Triple A baseball special and I just finished up 5 issues of Kidnapped. Toss in spending time with the kids and my darling wife it sounds like a lot but, I needed and wanted more work to do.Time is short!
Richard: Are you a fan of the literary classics? Mario: I've learned to respect the Literary classics. All the classics are just amazing and one only can hope people will remember the work creators do in a year or so. These books and literary bodies of work have been around for a very long time. Some for centuries. To have had a small part in making that material available and new for the comic book medium Is a nice thing.
Richard: How did you feel about getting onboard at Marvel as the artist on "Treasure Island" and "Kidnapped"? Mario: It was something I pursued, so it was really cool to be apart of those projects. I've learned a lot and I worked many different muscles that I haven't worked before. I got to team up with the extraordinary talented Roy Thomas and it was one of the nicest experiences I've had the pleasure to be apart of.
Richard: Did you enjoy drawing historical scenes and all the bygone era stuff?
Mario: Sure! In the beginning when I was asked to draw samples of Treasure Island material was way out of my comfort zone. It was a nice experience and I learned a lot about myself. It's nice for an artist to diversify and show that he can draw modern era superhero art and pull off 17th century pirate art convincingly. I built muscles I didn't really know I had and I'm a better artist and draftsman because of the Chance I had to work on Treasure Island and Kidnapped. Richard: Was drawing these comics a big change from ANT?
Mario: At first it was. But you know, as time goes on you adapt and it becomes drawing nice pages just like everything else. A good artist can take any material and hopefully make the work look like he has been doing it for years.
I had to rely on tons of facial expressions and strong story telling in the Marvel Illustrated comics. Sure, as a penciler you are story tellers first and foremost but I had to invent ways to present the art in an exciting way when I could. I couldn't necessary do the splashy pages that is ripping with Ant fighting bank robbers or tossing trucks. I instead had to focus on nice camera angles and make the way David Balfour approached a old spooky mansion exciting.
Richard: Will you be doing more work for Marvel? Mario: I think so. I've done a bunch of stuff over there and they seem to like what I do.
Richard: Whats your first love writing or drawing and why? Mario: Drawing because I'm a artist that can write not a writer that can draw. Picking up a pencil was my first love.
Richard: Would you like to see a world where super powers were real? Mario: Well, knowing how the world has dealt with religion and people of different beliefs, cultures, ethnic backgrounds and social statuses I think it would be chaos. I don't think we are ready yet. Ask me in 50 years. Richard: How important is family in your life?
Mario: Next to breathing. It's most important to me. My wife and kids are my driving force. I've chosen this daunting task of being a comic book creator and it's a hard life. It's feast or famine in this biz and you never know what you are going to get a particular month. The feast or the famine. I drag my family through this with me and they love me regardless if I draw a wonderful page or not.
Richard: How can someone contact you?
Mario: email@example.com Richard: And words for fans of your work? Mario: Thanks for hanging around and I hope to put out more material you guys and gals are happy with. I do appreciate everyone of you. With out you, I couldn't do what I do and I will never forget that or take that for granted.

Osiris Matos picked up his first blown save and his second win Sunday for the Toros del Este. Matos got touched for two hits in 1.2 innings. Seems strange to get stuck with a blown save without giving up any runs; but, hey, the save statistic is a bit odd in and of itself. Matos dropped his ERA to 1.20 in 15 appearances.
Juan Perez went 1-for-5 with a run and a strikeout on Sunday. Perez was hitting again from the leadoff spot while playing left field for the Aguilas Cibaenas. The 25-year-old native of Santiago is hitting .308 (36-for-117) for the winter.
Tyler Graham took his hit streak to eight games Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a run and a strikeout and raising his average to .277 (48-for-173) for the Tomateros de Culiacan.
This just in: Hector Sanchez can rake. The 22-year-old backstop went 2-for-3 with a three-run jack and a walk Sunday for the Tiburones de La Guaira. Hector has hit safely in six straight games and in 11 of his last 12. For the month of November, Sanchez has been held hitless just twice, and is hitting at a clip of .386 (34-for-88) with five doubles and five homers. If Hector keeps hitting like this, the Giants may need to move Posey to first base much sooner than expected.
Jean Machi faced one batter Sunday for the Navegantes del Magallanes. He struck him out. Machi continues to be unhittable in the VWL, dropping his ERA to 1.56.

Your Questions Expertly Answered.
Q: I am a 22-year old South African woman, with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies. Before I start working full-time in South Africa (possibly in Marketing), I would like to spend a year in the UK. I can live with my sister, who was transferred to the UK 2 years ago, through her (UK-based) company. I could also secure an Au Pair job with family friends for the duration of my stay… What are my chances at being granted a Tier 5 visa for a year?
– Deborah, Cape Town
A: Hi Deborah
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately the UK no longer offers the Working holiday visa for South Africans. Anyone wanting to work in the UK must either have a skilled job offer, or a parent / grandparent born in the UK.
The Tier 5 Youth Mobility scheme doesn't apply to South Africans; however the Tier 5 creative and sporting category may be of interest to you if you're a model or actress.

4 Issues Investment Companies Can Learn Within the Meals Network's Cafe Not possible
The premise of Meals Network's Restaurant Impossible show is the proven fact that muscle-bound chef Robert Irvine is offered two times and $10,000 to avoid wasting a restaurant from heading out of business. Some of these consuming places are literally within times of closing, and plenty of are a huge selection of 1000's of dollars in financial debt. huhot prices These proprietors are so desperate they invite the often-blustery Irvine to reveal their mistakes to a nationwide television viewers.
You might wonder how in the globe Cafe Not possible pertains towards the expense industry. Because it seems, most of the mistakes produced by new, and even skilled cafe proprietors would be the extremely exact same mistakes that prevent expense firms from reaching sustainable success. Following all, restaurants are superb microcosms for SMBs (small to medium-sized businesses) simply simply because they're usually privately-owned, operate in solitary locations, and use staffs and ways to carry out every day operations.
Right right here are four recurring themes around the display that provide valuable courses for our business.
1: DYSFUNCTION Begins Within the Leading
Many thanks to clever modifying and a snappy one-hour structure, the bad administration in many of these restaurants becomes instantly obvious towards the viewer. You will find proprietors who're present only for an hour or so or so or two every day, anticipating the cafe to run by itself. Conversely, you will find proprietors that practically live within their consuming places, as well as have grown to be so insulated from actuality they not understand the poor food/bad service/bad environment is killing their business.
A definite insufficient leadership can be a common thread. Numerous episodes function individuals with no genuine experience who bought a restaurant, and subsequently fight to stipulate a objective or eyesight for the company (apart from merely surviving).
Menus tend to be plagued by dishes that the proprietor wishes or likes, although not usually precisely what the marketplace demands. Staffs are disorganized and fail to hold out even the most fundamental features in their jobs (such as cleansing, which sends the currently testy Irvine into histrionics). It is not always because the employees is incompetent – it is simply because they are not given distinct directives from owners and administration concerning what priorities and anticipations are.
The leader in any business must established the tone for that business. Does administration articulate and share a common eyesight and goals for the company? Does the chief foster a convention of calculated risk-taking and innovation, or cling to the problems that made them effective inside the previous? Are workers provided distinct anticipations, and held accountable for carrying out their duties? Is there an emphasis on continuous analysis and enhancement?
Inside a little business, each one of these need to come back from one location: the very best.
#2: Becoming A good Cook Doesn't Trigger you to An excellent Proprietor (AND VICE-VERSA)
We are pressured to play many roles inside a SMB, but top-performing restaurateurs realize that the mere reality of possessing a restaurant does not make them a great cook. In the precise same time, becoming an incredible chef does not generally make 1 a savvy entrepreneur.
A number of Cafe Not possible exhibits function husband/wife groups who mortgaged their homes or utilized their entire retirement monetary financial savings to purchase a restaurant simply because 1 of them "had a aspiration and is a great cook dinner." Almost universally, these consuming places start dropping money from working day 1, merely because, simply because they quickly discover, being a good cook dinner is not the same as running a company.
Likewise, personal companies within our company frequently have administration constructions that are based on possession stakes instead of experience or capability. The CEO of a portfolio administration company could be the person who created the portfolio purchasing and promoting technique. The revenue manager may be an advisor who brought more than a large book of business in trade for equity. But have they got the abilities to function a business or deal with individuals? Perhaps, maybe not.
After the route from the business is determined by possession (rather than experience), company decisions regarding management, marketing, technology and long-term technique aren't always ideal. Within the best companies (and eating places) the proprietors are willing and able to self-assess, and empower other people to help produce a flourishing business. They realize that the important thing to achievement is performing everything you are great at, and encompassing your self with fantastic individuals who're fantastic at doing the remainder.
#3: If you are not MEASURING IT, How can you Deal with IT? (E.G., ANALYTICS 1 hundred and 1)
Like Chef Irvine, we're astonished in the amount of failing eating locations on this show that also use paper tickets rather than automated POS (point of sale) software program to handle their companies. They are precisely the same restaurant proprietors who, within the show's opening on-camera occupation job interview, don't know their meals costs, their labor costs, or their revenue margins on specific dishes. Prices are established arbitrarily, according to rivals or "intuition." Company intelligence is anecdotal ("we appear to be slowest on Wednesday evenings, but I am not sure").
Inside a solitary such restaurant, the owners inform Irvine how grateful they're for their catering business merely because it's the "only aspect maintaining our restaurant afloat." A cursory evaluation in their financials reveals that the catering company is actually costing the cafe tens of 1000's of bucks for every year simply simply because it is priced improperly.
In an additional cafe, proprietors insist that they promote "lots of the beef wellington," but, simply because they fall short to track or comprehend company analytics, they do not realize that only long-time customers purchase the meat wellington, which there are not sufficient long-time clients to maintain the business. Or perhaps even worse, the beef wellington costs much more to create compared to the cafe charges for it.
How many businesses inside our company carry on to established costs arbitrarily, according to instinct or competitors' pricing, with out contemplating how much it truly costs them to supply solutions? For companies that cost fees based on a client's home below administration, are all customers "created equal?" Can be a $50 million partnership generally a lot more lucrative than the usual $10 million relationship? Can you determine, with reasonable precision, the entire servicing cost of every partnership you have? (This includes your staff's time, charges paid to third-party solutions for reporting and custody, customer retention expenses, and so on.)

|Topic: male dog urinating everywhere to claim territory
posted 08-30-2002 09:11 PM
I have 2 males in the backyard, a lab & aussie sheepdog,10 & 8, both unaltered. When i walk them, the lab "claims" every tree/post he can, and the younger sheepdog always copies him. However they never used to pee in the back yard. Now my girlfriend lives with me and when she goes out to the yard the lab pees everywhere. they must feel their territory is threatened by the new resident at my house. Now my backyard reeks like urine by the steps, hose reel, everywhere. They dont do it when im watching or i would reprimand. How can i stop them? Is there a repellant? does neutering stop a male from claiming territory?

"Make a boat and sail over," answered featherhead, the gray squirrel.
"We have brought you an egg for the nuts we took yesterday," said featherhead.
featherhead thanked him and ran up the tree to look it over.
Now, if featherhead had only gone back to his skating, all would have been well.
featherhead," she replied, "is still the Prince of Grnewald.
The one you told me to learn in your message—featherhead, of course.
My duty points me, duty still neglected by this featherhead.
And any silly girl, who can not keep things to herself—well, I always thought Nita was a featherhead and now I know it!
"Here they are," answered featherhead, taking some red and yellow oak apples out of his pocket.
But the person she really relied upon for curing Celandine of her vanity was Prince featherhead.
