Treasury Auctions Still Making Hotcake Sales Look Weak in Comparison
Yet another decent seven-year Treasury sale today.
Treasury sold seven-year notes at a yield of 1.58%, the lowest since the notes were reintroduced in early 2009. That yield was slightly above the 1.57% in trading right before the sale, so maybe the auction was a tiny bit weaker than the other auctions this week. But still.
Today's auction follows the record low yields in the two-year and five-year note sales earlier this week. The bid to cover ratio — a gauge of overall demand — was 2.76, compared to the average of 2.78 in the past four auctions.
The indirect bid — a measure of demand from foreign investors — was 51.7%, the highest since January and compared to 39.6% from the previous four sales.

For Cecil, silence is not necessarily golden
YOURSAY 'The allegedly senior lawyer suspected to be linked to the second SD has no other choice but to come out in public if he is innocent.'
Cecil is a lawyer of the highest integrity...
Boiling Mud: Anyone purportedly known by his associates and friends to have the highest integrity with at least decades of impeccable service to the Malaysian Bar and is held in high esteem by all those who have had the privilege of making his acquaintance can take a plunge at a moment of weakness.
All it takes is just one step out of line to ruin that seemingly good track record. I think the lawyer and his son who are being fingered ought to come out to clear their names if there was indeed a speculation on the identity of the lawyer who drafted the second SD (statutory declaration) of falsehood.
Jesse: Who is the ASP Suresh who was involved in this fraud and intimidation? As police officer, he has perverted the course of justice.
Lawyer M Arunampalam who spoke on behalf of P Balasubramaniam at the press conference to reveal the second SD when he was not appointed by the private eye, is equally involved in perverting the course of justice.
Likewise, the commissioner of oath, who failed to witness the signing of the documents in his office, was also involved in this murky affair.
Not to forget, carpet trader Deepak Jaikishan for his role in the making of the false SD.
Finally, who is bold enough to investigate them? No one - not the police, attorney-general or any other investigative bodies.
Ferdtan: I think Bala's lawyer Americk Singh Sidhu is a gentleman. He is what we call a careful man (as expected of most lawyers) who only states the concrete facts, not any hearsay. This is just his way of getting to the truth (with his tongue in his cheek).
The writers of the second SD cannot hide anymore as the evidence is overwhelming - the law firm and its commissioner of oaths have been identified.
Even the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) jumped the gun by naming one of its advisors and stressing that he did not partake in any discussion concerning the non-recommendation of action in the Bala's case.
Cecil Abrahim, the allegedly senior lawyer suspected to be linked to the second SD, has no other choice but to come out in public if he is innocent.
Pemerhati: Americk may personally know Cecil Abraham or any other lawyer but he certainly won't know if the lawyer indulges in crooked activities on the quiet without anyone's knowledge.
Cecil Abraham's behaviour so far is not consistent with that of a person who has been wrongly accused. If a person is falsely accused he will immediately come out and deny the accusation and may even sue the person making the false allegations.
But Cecil Abraham's deafening silence so far suggests that Americk could be seriously mistaken about Cecil Abraham.
Dex: The Bar Council must issue a statement on this. If it is true that such manipulation of justice could occur at the highest level, then it is indeed worrying for the ordinary citizen.
The lawyer and the commissioner of oath have to come out clean on their involvement in this very sad chapter of Malaysian history.
Anonymous-BP: Being lawyers, they should know that "silence is not necessarily golden." Please do not vouch for Cecil Abraham as people can change when there is golden opportunity.
Hang Babeuf: Well, Tan Sri Cecil "is an honourable man". So are they all, by definition, all members of the legal profession. Or so we are made to believe. So whoever it is will honourably come forward.
If it is not Tan Sri Cecil, the real perpetrators will step forward. If it was Tan Sri Cecil, he will of course step forward, rather than see the entire legal profession and all his colleagues in it unworthily and undeservedly besmirched.
So we can be sure of finding out soon.
Fair Play: Instead of abating, the pressure will increase. Sooner or later, the truth will come out.
Anonymous_984765: This scandal is as ground shaking as the sacking of then lord president Tun Salleh Abas.
It impacts the legal profession (and business and commerce of the country), and as such, the Bar Council would surely get to the bottom of this.
PS: The plot deepens. It has become more exciting than any book of fictions I've read.
Not that I have no interest in the case proper, just that each chapter/episode being released in stages makes me yearns for more.
As a simpleton reading Malaysiakini , I really cannot make out the truth from the fiction that has been displayed by the various parties.
We'll have to wait for the final chapter to be played out in the courtroom.

Early School Buildings in Teaneck
First School Built About 1810-1820
Source: The Teaneck Shopper, Wednesday, October 21, 1970, page 12 - Supplement
Teaneck Youngsters who recently returned to classes in the town's multi-million dollar school system can ponder what education in Teaneck was like in the early days.
Children walked miles to go to one room schools. There were no discussions about class size--one teacher taught all eight grades. In the 1850's a man teacher was hired at $60 a quarter and to "find" or board and lodge himself. Central heating was a pot bellied stove. The drinking fountain was a well with a tin dipper. Sanitary facilities were frame structure behind the school.
TEANECK'S FIRST SCHOOL built between 1810 and 1820, is standing today on East Fort Lee Road. It is no longer a school, but a private home east of a gas station. The schoolmaster's house next door is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lawrence.
The Westervelt family donated land for the school. Children came from lower Teaneck, Leonia, Fort Lee, Little Ferry and Ridgefield. The late Mrs. Rachel Moore Demarest recalled when she was in her 90's that her father had gone to the school from his home in Leonia. often crossing Ovepeck Creek in a boat. In winter children were transported by sleighs.
Workmen who remodeled the school house for the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bauerlein, who lived there for many years, admired the hand hewn shingles and oak beams. They found five floors, one on top of the other. The cloak room, where wraps and dinner pails were stored, is now a kitchen. A former outhouse is a tool shed.
This school was used until 1910, when the present Longfellow School was built. The late George V. Demarest, a trustee whose father also attended the school, saw to it that the bell was moved to the new building.
Among present day residents who attended the old school are Mrs. Edna DeGraw Schuh and her sister, Rae, Mrs. Ida Damrau Mortensen, who lived on Queen Anne Road, where the Grand Union now stands, and Mrs. Lily Thiede Conklin. Mrs. Conklin, whose father was a dairyman for William DeGraw, attended the school until 1904, when she started walking the two miles each way to St. Mary's School in Hackensack. There were not many children in lower Teaneck then, Mrs. Conklin recalled, about 25 or 30 in the school.
Children in upper Teaneck in the early 19th century went to school in James Purdy's chair shop on New Bridge Road, organized in 1822 for pupils from Schraalenburgh (Dumont), Liberty Pole in Englewood and from the northern part of Teaneck. The teacher was an Irishman by the name of Gilfillin.
In 1841, Union School District No. 10 was formed at a meeting in the home of Gilliam A. Bogert. Plans were made to replace the school in the chair shop with a building on a corner of widow Sarah Stagg's land on River Road. The sum of $67.50 was raised by subscription! How's that for a school building program? Stone, timber and sand worth $300 were donated. This building was later replaced with a structure destroyed by fire in 1940.
On May 5, 1851, a resolution was passed at a meeting of "taxable inhabitants" to call Union School District No. 10 the Teaneck Institute. D. L. Van Saun took up his duties two weeks later, having been hired at $60 a quarter and to "find" himself.
In 1854, a school was provided in the center of present day Teaneck. Henry J. Brinkerhoff sold to the trustees for $50, 50 by 100 feet of his land on Teaneck Road, east of Forest Avenue. The rent was one cent a year, as long as it was used as a school. A frame building, 20 by 60 feet, was constructed. It was eventually moved across the street.
This hall of learning was replaced in 1869 by an "elegant structure" on the present playground of School No. 2. The building 24 by 38 feet, had a Mansard roof and was furnished with the best of equipment. The total cost: $3,677.751. Alexander Cass, who taught there for over ten years, later became Bergen County's first superintendent of schools.
Residents received full value for their school investment. The "elegant structure" doubled as a school during the week and as the home of the Washington Avenue (Teaneck Road) Union Sunday School on the Sabbath. When the Township was organized in 1895 it became headquarters for municipal government, thus serving Teaneck's educational spiritual and civic needs.
These three schools--serving upper, lower and central Teaneck--had a combined registration of 221, it was reported at the annual meeting on March 19, 1895.
Among present day residents who attended the historic school on Teaneck Road were William and George Beaumont, George Ahrens, Mrs. Lita Franke Bower, Miss Edith Tepper and Mrs. Fannie Borden Schultz.
The school was replaced in 1907 by Washington Irving School, the present Town House but the "elegant structure" lived on, serving as the Municipal Building. Later it became the home of Capt. Stephen T. Schoonmaker Post 1428, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and was moved to Bedford Avenue. It was razed about ten years ago.
Until Teaneck High School was built in 1929, Teaneck pupils went to high schools in Englewood, Leonia and Hackensack.

John Edwards Kicks Off 2013 Grand-Am Season With Legendary Daytona Enduro
Posted by: newsla on Jan 23, 2013 - 05:39 PM
John Edwards Kicks Off 2013 Grand-Am Season With Legendary Daytona Enduro
After a successful 2012 season racing in both the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, John Edwards will return this weekend to Daytona International Speedway to kick off the 2013 race season with Stevenson Motorsports.
In 2012 Edwards and co-driver Robin Liddell raced the No. 57 Chevrolet Camaro, earning Stevenson Motorsports a second place finish in the Rolex GT Team Championship. Despite missing several early season race events due to a knee injury, the 21 year old racer came back to Liddell's side to earn the team three wins and an additional three podiums.
"It's great to be coming back with Robin for the season and continuing the great relationship we had last season," said Edwards. "Due to my injury last year, my role over the season was a little different, so I'm looking forward to working together to earn John Stevenson a championship."
Edwards and Liddell both return full time to Stevenson Motorsports with a renewed vigor to chase after the 2013 GT Championship title, starting with the 24 Hours of Daytona. The duo will be joined by Tommy Milner and Jan Magnussen for the 24 hour endurance race, in hopes to better last year's fourth place finish.
"The Stevenson team executed a perfect race in last year's 24 hour. Unfortunately, our lack of pace on the straights compared to the Porsches meant that a flawless race only netted us P4 in the race. It was a good result, but this year we will be aiming to execute at the same level and our car will be more competitive to put us in the battle for the win at the end."
The 2013 race season will mark John's third year with Stevenson in the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge with teammate Matt Bell in the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro. In 2012, Bell and Edwards finished third in the GS Team Championship, with one win and four top five finishes. "We had a good conclusion to the championship which put Matt P2 in the drivers' championship despite some poor finishes early in the season."
In their third consecutive season as teammates, the young duo will prove to be championship contenders in 2013. Edwards regarded the continuity as an advantage in the sport. "Drivers and crew sometimes move in and out of teams rather quickly, but Matt and I are entering our third year as teammates, and Kaz Technologies is starting its second year as our engineering support, so this will be a big advantage over last year when we were just starting to work together. Hopefully we'll be able to stay out of trouble and avoid these poor early season finishes so that we're able to fight for the championship at the end of the year."
At only 21 years old, Edwards has set the bar high, pursuing both the GT and GS titles. Although a seemingly challenging feat, the young racer has a strong history of on-track success, becoming the youngest ever open wheel race winner at age 12. He then advanced to win the 2008 Star Mazda Championship at age 17 and the 2009 Atlantic Championship at age 18. His transition to sports cars proved seamless as he earned one win and three additional podiums in his first season. By his second season, Edwards starting racing in both GRAND-AM series, accumulating additional strong finishes to his resume.
"Racing in both the Rolex and Continental Tire series can mean a hectic schedule on some weekends, especially when it comes to test days," said Edwards. "However, it definitely provides an advantage with more track time on a race weekend and an opportunity to race twice. This gives drivers doing double duty more opportunity to see how the track changes over a weekend."
The Continental Tire Challenge GRAND-AM 200 begins Friday, January 25th at 1:30pm. The 51st Rolex 24 at Daytona will broadcast live on SPEED from 3:00pm to 11:00pm on Saturday, January 26, and 9:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday, January 27. Live timing for both race events will be available on GRAND-AM.com.

Canberra comeback kid Jordan Rapana says he was just weeks away from giving up rugby league for a career in the police force before coach Ricky Stuart finally gave him a second shot in the NRL.
Rapana burst onto the NRL scene as an 18-year-old in 2008 when he scored five tries in five games for the Gold Coast Titans.
But the 23-year-old then embarked on a two-year Mormon mission in the UK before unsuccessfully attempting to win a Super Rugby contract with the Western Force and Brumbies.
The Raiders threw him a lifeline last year, but until Sunday's comeback match against Parramatta in Darwin, Rapana hadn't played a game in the NRL in six years.
He was close to giving up, too, revealing on Monday that a little over two weeks ago he had inquired with Raiders manager John Bonasera about how to enroll to become a police officer.
"The first thing JB said was: 'mate, don't give up yet, you've got a fair few games left in the season'," Rapana said.
"I said I wasn't giving up, I was more just wanting security for next year.
"But there were definitely days when I felt like giving it up (in the last few years)."
And who could blame him.
During his time in professional footy limbo, Rapana cut hair, pulled beers and waited tables - while impressing for Souths Logan in the Queensland Cup - just to make ends meet.
So two weeks ago he finally decided to follow in the footsteps of his father and uncles by working towards becoming a police officer.
But Bonasera was right. An injury to skipper Terry Campese meant regular fullback Anthony Milford moved to five-eighth, creating an opening for Rapana at fullback - and the Raiders re-signed him for another year last Thursday.
"When I look down the line in ten years' time, it will be a bit of a story to tell, I was two to three weeks off literally giving up rugby. It's awesome."
While the Raiders went down 18-10 to the Eels, Rapana held his own, racking up 151 metres including eight tackle breaks.
He admits his first game back was under some pretty tough conditions.
"It was bloody hot up there in Darwin, real muggy, and the ball was slippery as heck," Rapana said.
"And obviously Jarryd Hayne is a freak, one of the best players in the game.
"But apart from that, it went alright."

Moscow (Voice of Russia) Jan 22, 2013
Russia will carry out fewer Proton M launches in 2013 than planned, a Roskosmos source said. Such a reduction is connected with a decision by Kazakhstan's authorities to cut the number of rocket launches from the Baikonur space launch facility from 17 to 12.
Given the situation, Roskosmos is planning to reconsider the terms of Baikonur's lease in favor of making the rent Russia pays for it dependent on the number of launches.
Russia is currently renting the Baikonur Cosmodrome from Kazakhstan at $115 million a year.

Well, They Can't Be Worse, Can They?
Posted By Alex Belth On February 27, 2006 @ 5:38 am In Bronx Banter | Comments Disabled
The special Negro League Hall of Fame [1] vote will be announced later today (this article [2] in the Times is worth checking out for the photograph alone)–here's hoping it'll be a memorable day. In the meantime, the Yankees begin their exhibition season this Thursday. Randy Johnson [3] threw another bp session yesterday; Joe Torre is pleased with what he's seen from Al Leiter thus far. Tyler Kepner [4] covers Carl Pavano [5] in the Times:
Asked how important Pavano's recovery was to the Yankees, Torre did not hesitate.
"Major," Torre said. "I think he's major for us, and the reason I say that is because of his youth, for one, where he can take a good portion of the workload. That about covers it, really. He just never got into a groove of any kind, just never got there. But he's major for us."
Bill Madden has a piece on Bernie Williams [6] in the News:
"Last year was a wake-up call for me," Williams said. "It seemed like I was breaking someone's record or passing some milestone and that was not my focus. Given my situation, with my playing time being reduced, it was very frustrating for me. When they signed me this winter, they were expecting me to accept a certain role.
"Last year it was more confusing. Once you get used to playing every day and (suddenly) they're bringing in this guy and that guy to see what happens. I wasn't used to that. This year, it's been made very clear to me: 'You're not gonna be the center fielder. That's the offer, take it or leave it.'"
The Yanks will be in good shape if Pavano and Bernie are even reasonably productive this year, no?

Chabon, though as referential as Pynchon, has never been one to code his allusions; he flies them proudly.
Pynchon is the author of several novels and one short-story collection.
Maybe if I had seen Pynchon again, I could have gotten to the dazzling essence, the inner Pynchon, the true Pynchon!
Move over, Pynchon—the 83-year-old Joseph McElroy is as inventive as ever, and this time he takes on the Iraq War.
Whatever the wisdom of Gaddis, I was thrilled to be so close to the shambles of Pynchon.
Rather, in his new novel, Bleeding Edge, Pynchon has encountered a subject that resists even his ample literary capacities.
Hutchinson says of him: Mr. Pynchon was a gentleman of learning, as well as religion.

 Hi, actually what was brought up was "exchanging services for membership dues." There were actually more reasons why the group has not been in favor of this both times it's been brought up at meetings...

 1. We don't want to have to rate how much work is worthy of paying for one's membership dues.
 2. We don't want a situation where the group grants member Bob permission to work X number of hours to pay for their dues and then have member Joe perk up and say they've been doing twice as much work for the space for the past few months and would like to be granted such privilege and "back pay" for all that.
 3. No one wants do deal with a situation where a member working in the space paying off their dues isn't doing a good job.
 4. And as Christie has pointed out, yes a whole bunch of legal issues.

 I do attest that all I did was skim through most of your email. If you feel like you're request to exchange man hours for paying off your dues is slightly different then what I described, I recommend bringing this up for discussion at our next meeting. Thanks.

Vodafone Hutchison Australia chief executive Bill Morrow will slash operating costs at the No.3 mobile carrier to secure up to $2 billion in critical funds to execute his turnaround strategy.
At least 500 jobs will be shed over the next month, or 10 per cent of the operator's 5000-strong workforce, while budgets for advertising, marketing and administration will be reduced significantly, and savings redeployed into the mobile network.
"It is vital that we simplify the business to be efficient and to enable growth in the long term," Mr Morrow said in a statement.
"We need to prioritise every dollar and internal action to count toward an improved customer experience"
The Australian Financial Review understands the cost-cutting comes as Vodafone's shareholders, UK mobile giant Vodafone Group and Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa, prepare to tip up to $2 billion into the joint venture next month to pay for network improvements and the rollout of superfast 4G.
They are believed to be mulling over at least two strategic plans developed by Mr Morrow, with funding options that include fresh equity and shareholder-backed loans that would substantially reduce the joint venture's crippling interest costs.
Macquarie Capital analyst Andrew Levy said Mr Morrow will need between $2 billion and $3 billion in new funds to engineer a successful turnaround. The carrier must refinance $1.3 billion in maturing debt by mid-2013, and will require another $1.2 billion to fund spectrum renewals, network upgrades and operating expenses next year.
Vodafone will need further funds if it chooses to participate in government auctions for digital dividend spectrum early next year.
Mr Morrow has already indicated that Vodafone will not bid aggressively for the digital dividend spectrum, which is considered ideal for 4G services but will not be available for use until analog television is completely switched off in 2015.
The increased funding requirements come at a time when Vodafone's earnings are under pressure due to customer losses and declining average revenues per user. The operator lost $131 million and shed 178,000 customers in the June half. That followed a loss of more than $350 million in 2011.
Mr Morrow outlined a number of recent improvements to Vodafone's coverage including a one-third decline in dropped call rates and a 50 per cent fall in complaints. "We are heading in the right direction, but more needs to be done," he said.
He also revealed that the carrier had completed the first test calls on its 4G network, which it plans to activate for customers in the first quarter of 2013.

Game 3
SS 15, Terrell 0
After holding the Terrell Tigers to three-up, three-down in the top of the first inning, the JV Wildcats sent 17 batters to the plate and scored 12 runs in the bottom of the frame. That proved to be more that enough as starting pitcher Jenkins allowed just two baserunners over three innings to earn the victory shortened by the run-rule.
Offensively, SSHS was led by first baseman Mason Morton, who was 2-for-3 including an RBI double, and right fielder Dougan was 2-for-2 with two RBI. McQueen added a hit, two RBI, a stolen base, and two runs scored. By the end of the game, 11 Wildcats had reached base safely.
Game 2
SS 11, Tyler Chapel Hill 3
The Wildcats found themselves trailing 2-0 to start the game on Friday morning. But once again, they scored three in their own half of the first to take back the lead. Conner Brackhahn, McQueen, and Colby Suggs knocked consecutive hits. Dougan finished up the firstinning scoring with an RBI double to left-center field.
Chapel Hill tied it up in the top of the third inning, but in the bottom of the frame, SSHS put Chapel Hill away scoring eight runs, led by a two-run homer by Suggs. It was his second homer of the tournament.
For the game, Suggs recorded three hits and six RBI. McQueen added two hits. Dougan was on the hill for the Cats, striking out seven and allowing just one earned run in four innings.
Game 1
SS 7, Prosper 4
For the fourth consecutive game, the Cats led 3-0 after one complete inning. This time, it was by virtue of a three-run homer by clean-up hitter Suggs. Prosper then came back with four runs in the top of the fifth inning to tie the game
The Cats fought back in the bottom half of the inning as Suggs reached base with one out as a result of a hit-by-pitch. Morton wrapped a single to right-center field to bring him home. After a Dougan walk, Rosales grounded to second to bring in Morton. That was followed by a RBI grounder from Kade Wimberly.
Rosales pitched his second complete game to get the win, giving up four runs, two earned, in five innings. On the day, he recorded six strikeouts, gave up three hits and three walks. In addition to Suggs, Dougan led the Cats offensively with two hits, a walk, and two runs scored.

Rather unironically, Alanis Morissette is headed back on the road.
The Canadian songstress kicks off a 38-city theater tour Sept. 18 in support of her latest album, the nicely conflicted-sounding Flavors of Entanglement.
After spending the rest of the summer entertaining European crowds, Morissette and her angst will touch down first at the Charlottesville Pavilion in Virginia. She'll strum her way across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping things up in Oakland, Calif., on Nov. 17.
Tickets for the North American leg of her tour go on sale July 25. The full itinerary is on Morissette's website.
Called a "career highlight" by some critics, Flavors of Entanglement debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 last month and has sold about 130,000 copies.
A postbreakup Morissette said in May that the record "chronicles the rock bottom finally being hit."

About 6 weeks ago Walmart gave me the opportunity to buy and review a smart phone. I was to consider the buying experience through Walmart as well as the phone itself. I will admit, I tend to be a bit anti-Apple and I wasn't exactly keen to get an iPhone but through my local Walmart Canada stores my smart phone options were limited to the Apple iPhone, the Nokia N95 or the Blackberry Pearl 8120. I was under contract with Rogers (with over a year left) so I knew going in that my phone upgrade would require me to sign on for another 2 or 3 years.
After looking over the features of each phone online I went to the Walmart Canada store located in Ancaster, Ontario. I had my 19 year old daughter along with me as we looked at the phones on display. This store didn't have a Nokia N95 in stock so now my choice was between the Blackberry Pearl 8120 and the iPhone 3G. The sales rep in the electronics area was friendly and seemed knowledgeable – explaining a bit about each phone's features as well as what sort of fees I would incur with each. Canada is notorious for pricey data rates.
While I was learning more and more toward the iPhone (after all… it has so many apps!), my daughter was getting quite excited about the Blackberry Pearl. I loved the slim, sleek lines of the iPhone and she loved the qwerty keyboard on the Blackberry. And somehow… she managed to talk me into buy both. iPhone for myself and Blackberry for her.
Not exactly the frugal choice. In addition to the cost of each phone we had to buy data plans to add to our regular cellphone plans which worked out to an extra $25 for the iPhone and an extra $35 for the Blackberry. Ugh.
We've had our phones for 6 weeks now and we both are happy with our choices. My daughter does a lot of text messaging so the qwerty keypad is ideal for her. I've found the iPhone's built in camera to be easy to use and I find I'm taking more photos with it than my digital camera these days. More and more I don't even bother to bring a camera but rely on the iPhone. It's simple, no zoom or options, but it works well and it's easy to send photos in an email, text message, or to create photo stories using apps like Whrrl.
In fact it's not just my camera that it's replaced.
- It's replaced my alarm clock and watch. It has a great built in alarm clock and you can set multiple alarms.
- It's replaced my daytimer. It's calendar feature syncs easily with Google Calendar so my calendar is always with me.
- It's replaced my mp3 player. I have the 8gb iPhone but it has lots of room for mp3s and it has iTunes built in making it easy to sync podcasts, audio books and mp3 music.
- It's replaced my pocket address book. It syncs with my Gmail contact list and is easy to search with.
I've only started to look beyond the apps it comes with but I think I'll be finding that the iPhone will replace more and more tools and gadgets for me. So while it's a bit pricier than other options (especially with the Canadian data rates), it's already saved me time and hassle – and cleared a bunch of things out of my purse and off my desk.
The verdict? Love it!

1.0 Overview of Home Theater and Audiophile Sources
For decades, the best content a movie buff or audiophile could find has come from a disc of some sort. Many of these disc players and alternative sources are still in use today, even if they aren't at the bleeding edge of AV technology, the way HD media center PCs or profile 2.0 Blu-ray players are.
2.0 Types of Home Theater and Audiophile Sources
2.1 Blu-ray Players
Blu-ray players are the most cutting edge disc players on the market. They can output 1080p video and HD 7.1 audio from native Blu-ray discs, connected via HDMI cables. Blu-ray players also can play CDs, DVD-Videos and other discs. Blu-ray players are easily firmware-upgradeable to add more player functionality and interactivity. Today's Blu-ray players are slow to load, compared to DVD-Video machines and come packed with copy protection to reduce piracy.
2.2 Compact Disc Players
A compact disc player is a one-chassis unit that plays a CD and comes in various shapes, sizes and configurations for home theater applications. A CD player generally includes a CD transport, which is a mechanism to spin the CD disc, as well as a digital to analog conversion section that takes the zeros and ones from the compact disc and converts it to an analog signal that a preamp or receiver can switch and boost en route to your system. Many home theater and audiophiles use "universal" players to cover the now-dead HD disc formats of SACD and DVD-Audio, as well as CD. Home theater enthusiasts also frequently use Blu-ray players as DVD or CD players as they are backwards-compatible with many but not all legacy disc formats.
2.3 Compact Disc Transports
A compact disc transport is simply a CD player without the digital to analog converter. Audiophiles in the late 1980s loved separating the CD transport and DAC for performance reasons. Today, most AV preamps have digital to analog sections in them, so there is no need for the redundant processing, as less is more in the world of audio. You would never want to process the audio of a source from analog to digital and back if you could avoid it.
2.4 Apple iPod
Apple's iPod is a source that nearly everyone has. While relatively low-resolution in most applications, the iPod offers handheld access to a collection of thousands of songs, which only a few years ago was never dreamed possible. Apple's iTunes Music Store has taken the steam out of (or, to be more accurate, killed off) the traditional record store. Many companies manufacture iPod docks that make it easy for your iPod to interface with your system. There are even audiophile iPod docks from the likes of Wadia and Krell. Some installers even use iPods to control entire distributed audio systems.
2.5 DVD-Video Players
As much as we would like to think Blu-ray is the only format out there, DVD-Video still sells many more discs than any HD format on the market today and boasts a whopping 91 percent market penetration. At last check, Blu-ray was on the rise, but only had about 10 percent of American households playing the HD discs. DVD-Video is easily played in a Blu-ray player, as an enthusiast is usually looking to simplify his or her system to a point where he or she won't need three or four disc players. Normally, an enthusiast might have a universal player for SACD and DVD-Audio (and DVD-Video possibly), a Blu-ray for HD discs and likely DVD-Video.
2.6 Universal Players
Universal players developed out of the consumer demand for a home theater or audiophile source that would play both of the HD audiophile sources (SACD and DVD-Audio), as well as CDs, DVD-Videos and various other discs. People are hanging onto these players, because the HD discs are still the best-sounding things you can play in your system. However, to date, there are no universal players that play HD video formats like HD DVD and, more importantly, Blu-ray.
2.7 Turntables (LPs)
Yes, some people still play records and you can't call vinyl a dead format, as record labels are willing to re-release old and even some current titles on the aging format, with re-mastered tracks and that classic "warm" sound. Vinyl represents a taste of the old days and, with vintage record stores being the only thing left from the days of music stores that weren't part of big-box retailers, enthusiasts love the idea of buying records from their past for pennies on the dollar and spinning them on their trusty old record players. Audiophile record players make a pretty compelling sound and are very popular today with Baby Boomer clients, even 25-plus years after the advent of the compact disc.
3.0 Dead Audio/Video Disc Formats
There comes a time with every AV format when you just have to pronounce the patient dead. Yes, there will be those who visit the grave site and mourn the loss, but for most of us, it's time to move on with our systems and hope for better in the future.
3.1 HD DVD Players
After Blu-Friday before the 2008 CES, Toshiba pulled the plug on their Blu-ray-competitor format, HD DVD. With less expensive players and solid studio support, HD DVD had momentum, but consumers didn't want a format war like that between VHS and Beta a generation ago. When Warner Brothers moved their support from both formats to Blu-ray, Toshiba and their partner Microsoft couldn't save the patient and some early adopters got burned.
The first way HD enthusiasts were able to get HD prerecorded into their system was with D-VHS. The image was good and the players were backwards-compatible with VHS tapes, which was compelling for many but the high player (deck) cost and the fact the tapes didn't last that long were deadly blows to the format. Also, the lack of direct access to chapters left consumers used to DVD or Laserdisc wanting more. Blu-ray gave that to them a few years later.
Sony just couldn't muster up enough support for their HD disc format using their DSD technology. The mistakes were everywhere: very little support of 5.1 surround, no car audio presence and very little backwards-compatibility to CD (called a Hybrid SACD) made the discs hard for consumers to swallow. Retailers didn't know where to put them. Players were expensive and, to play 5.1 surround, you needed thousands of dollars in additional equipment, including a new preamp or receiver, cables and beyond. SACD enjoys a tiny niche market of audiophiles and audiophile record labels supporting the format to this day, but it's safe to call the format dead for 99-plus percent of consumers.
3.4 DVD-Audio
Sony wasn't the only one failing with an HD disc format. Warner and its partners were busy screwing DVD-Audio with poor title support, expensive players and the need for thousands of dollars in additional gear. Backwards-compatibility with DVD-Video and good name recognition made for some hope with DVD-Audio, but it all came crashing down when the labels assumed that consumers would flock to the format and THEN they could release more meaningful titles. Hint for the future: the egg comes before the chicken. Retailers also rejected DVD-Audio, as they didn't know where to file the discs, just as they hadn't known where to categorize SACD.
I don't know if it is fair to call VHS dead, because it still sells very nicely but as an analog standard-definition tape format with limited (if any) surround sound, it's not exactly what you want to be playing on your new 65-inch 1080p plasma to wow your friends. With 91 percent market penetration for DVD-Video in America, it's safe to say that VHS has already seen its best days as an enthusiast format.
3.6 Laserdisc
There was a time in the 1990s when laserdisc was the format of choice for home theaters. The large format of the discs made them have the collector appeal of LPs, but they were hard to store, compared to DVDs, which came to market later in the 1990s, and basically took over. A laserdisc could make a nice SD picture (far better than VHS) and often had good surround sound, including even early DTS tracks (can you say "Where's the Goat?"). Today, laserdisc is the definition of a dead AV format.
3.7 Betamax
It could be argued that Betamax shouldn't even be mentioned on this list, as it was dead before home theater became popular in the 1980s, but Beta made a nice image - an image better than VHS. However, the "better format" isn't always the one that wins. Consider Beta deader than a doornail.
3.8 Digital Audio Tape (DAT)
DAT was primarily a pro audio tool employed in the studio, but consumers did use it in limited quantities. DAT opened up the first real concerns about piracy, as you could make a convincing copy of a CD on a DAT. What you would do with it after that, we have no idea. There were DAT decks for home use, but why not play your CD? There were DAT decks for your car, but good luck keeping those working.
3.9 Digital Compact Cassette (DCC)
If you blinked, you could have missed this one from Philips. It was basically an amped-up cassette tape. Consumers yawned in the early 1990s and it died a quiet death.
3.10 Cassette Tapes
The commercial importance of cassette tapes was huge, as they were a viable media for decades for consumers looking to buy a compact music format, especially with the rise of the Sony Walkman in the 1980s. Not everyone was willing to drag a portable CD player around, not to mention a whole CD collection. Cassettes were more portable, recordable and affordable. Today, with CD-Rs as cheap as they are and in every computer, the cassette has no real place in a modern audiophile or home theater system unless it's a Nakamichi cassette player such as the "Dragon," which has such cachet that collectors clamor for them even to this day.

Now, the song has become an anthem for girls about to break up with their boyfriends.
Georgia has written for publications like anthem magazine and contributes the This Recording.
They might have played the Miss America anthem, "There She Is!"
Imagine what would happen to a Haredi minister who would suggest deleting those words from the anthem.
Then he focused on anthem, the California-based insurer that raised premiums by as much as 39 percent.
The singing of the anthem after the third collect in both morning and evening prayer.
The second week that Mr Liversedge was here, he stopped the anthem.
The choir learns to chant and to sing an anthem on a high festival.
There was an instant when the music was an anthem, and then it too was gone.
Big gun and rifle fire mingled like strophe and antistrophe of an anthem of death.
Old English ontemn, antefn, "a composition (in prose or verse) sung antiphonally," from Late Latin antefana, from Greek antiphona "verse response" (see antiphon). Sense evolved to "a composition set to sacred music" (late 14c.), then "song of praise or gladness" (1590s). Used in reference to the English national song (technically, as OED points out, a hymn) and extended to those of other nations. Modern spelling is from late 16c., perhaps an attempt to make the word look more Greek.

A SCHOOL in Poole says it has seen a vast improvement in reading levels since dogs were brought in as book buddies.
Sylvan Infant School, on Livingstone Road, welcomes a group of pooches from the charity Caring Canines in once a week for the children to read to, helping them grow in confidence, as part of the Be Bookwise scheme.
This week, pupils got the chance to show off their progress by reading aloud to an extra-special guest, the Mayor of Poole, Cllr Phil Eades, as Caring Canines is one of his chosen charities.
Sue Hargie, business manager at Sylan Infant School, said: "Caring Canines come in every week and visit the children who find reading particularly difficult."
She added: "The child will have chosen a book at their level and will then sit down with the dog matched up with them, who they will read to.
"It's nice to be able to welcome the volunteers from Caring Canines in, as we have found that it has been very successful in building the children's confidence and, of course, they all love seeing the dogs."
Founder of Caring Canines, Sue Dennett, said: "The research on children reading to dogs started in America and someone suggested to us about trying it ourselves, with our volunteers and dogs.
She added: "We started in one school, I think back in 2008, and now we visit six on a regular basis, with each child who needs help with reading being designated a book buddy in the form of a dog."
Sue says the dogs offer non-judgemental support for the children who are part of the scheme and then at the end of term, the school pupils feature in a presentation to celebrate their great achievement.
"I can hand on heart say that every child involved in Be Bookwise has greatly improved in their reading level."
Caring Canines are looking for new volunteer dog-owners to help with all areas of their charity work. For more information, contact the charity on 01202 579744.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Hilda is a spayed female, DOB March 10, 2009, 75 pounds, American Bull Dog Mix. She is Black and White with a very sweet expression.
We pulled her from a high kill shelter, then discovered she had heart worm. Luckily a mild infestation, was treated and very healthy now and has not had any debilitating problems at all.
She is a very sweet, wiggly girl, loves to play with her Kong in the Run, when weather allows. Hilda is crate clean and has never had an accident. She gets along with most dogs and knows to "leave it" with cats. She has learned to sit, stay, down and shake. She is good on the lead, strong at times but very manageable with voice commands. Hilda loves to go for car rides. She still jumps a little but is learning how to be a lady and will sit when asked. Hilda is used to being walked several time a day.
Hilda is spayed, UTD on vaccines, wormed and micro-chipped
Come see Hilda at the "Meet Your Best Friend At The Zoo" adoption event in Detroit on Sat and Sun the 22nd and 23rd of September from 10 am to 5 pm.
Contact Lynnda at 810-632-6885 or email email@example.com for any further questions.
Hilda, a Howell American Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog for sale in Howell, or seeking a American Bulldog dog from a breeder in Howell.

The country's ire is focused on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who last week publicly acknowledged that he is "an unpopular Prime Minister" conceding the truth of opinion polls that give him the lowest approval ratings of any Prime Minister in the nation's history. He bears the onus of the living in the shadow of Ariel Sharon, of failing to snatch victory in last year's Lebanon war a conflict that saw Hizballah Katyushas raining down on Israeli territory of leading the nation as the specter of a nuclear-armed Iran rises to the east and of presiding over a government plagued by corruption, financial, ethical and criminal scandals. It is a time of "complete disillusionment, an implosion of faith in the country's leaders," says Michael Oren, author of Six Days of War and a senior fellow at Jerusalem's Shalem Center, an academic research organization.
Olmert has vowed to press on, but contenders for his chair are already positioning themselves for a run at the top spot. Rivals in his own Kadima party include Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Housing Minister Meir Sheetrit. A former Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, and a former head of the Shin Bet, Ami Ayalon, who now serves in the Knesset, are angling to take the top spot in the Labor Party from Amir Peretz, Olmert's coalition partner and his disastrous and unpopular choice as defense minister. And at the head of the line is Likud Party chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, another former Prime Minister and an outspoken critic of this government and its readiness to counter the Iranian threat.
Looming over it all, however, is Arkady Gaydamak and his recently established Social Justice organization. Gaydamak is neither a politician nor military man. He is a 54-year-old emigre who started his career running a translation company in France and made his fortune in the wreckage of the Soviet empire. He says Social Justice is not a political party. Rather, it was founded "to form a common ground for the non-privileged minorities who are the majority, for the people who were always kept out of power, who have no access to the new wealth, who have no protection, who are not patronized by the establishment." He styles himself a nagid or gvir, a traditional Jewish philanthropist-leader who uses his wealth for the public good. During the Lebanon War, when the government was slow to shelter hundreds of thousands of Israelis who fled the Katyusha fire in the north, Gaydamak erected a tent city that housed thousands of families. Last fall, when the town Sderot was facing regular Qassam rocket fire from Gaza, Gaydamak paid to bus thousands of residents down south to stay in high-end hotels.
Oren calls him "a product of the moment" who has cannily seized on the leadership vacuum and is "covering all his bases." His natural constituency is the more than one million Russians in Israel, but he's also reaching out to the Arab community and the Israeli mainstream. He throws extravagant parties for the members of Israel's high society and also builds low-income housing for recent immigrants. He bought an Israeli soccer team, Beitar, whose fans are mainly working-class Likud supporters known to chant "death to the Arabs" from the stands. He also owns a basketball team, Hapoel, that is usually cheered on by middle-class centrists, leftists and Arab Israelis. He has also donated money to an Arab soccer team.
Gaydamak also likes to spread his political affiliations around. Though he has said in the past that he would support Netanyahu for the Prime Minister's post, Gaydamak nonetheless promotes talks with the Palestinians sooner rather than later (something Netanyahu does not support) and says Israel should be doing more to improve the quality of life for people in the West Bank and Gaza. While he insists he's not trying to be a kingmaker, he has put himself into a position to do just that. And though he says he has no political ambitions of his own, he adds, "It is not impossible that I'll have to make an uncomfortable decision if I'll see that is my duty to people, but I fervently hope it won't be necessary."
There is, of course, skepticism about his motives, intimation that he is trying to buy popularity. "Not even Moses managed to escape this kind of criticism," he says. Nevertheless, Gaydamak's resume is hardly that of a saint. In 2000, France issued a warrant for Gaydamak's arrest, charging that he had contravened French law by engineering a deal that traded weapons, in exchange for oil, to an Angolan government then fighting a brutal civil war. (A year earlier, he had received a suspended sentence for tax evasion.) Gaydamak fled France to avoid arrest even though he is a member of the Legion D'Honneur, inducted by President Jacques Chirac most likely in gratitude for Gaydamak's help in securing the release of Frenchmen who'd been taken hostage by Serb paramilitaries in 1995. While in Israel, Gaydamak has been investigated for money laundering. He insists his business practices are clean and that he made the bulk of his money speculating in the Russian stock market.
A controversial past, however, has not prevented Gaydamak from establishing high-level business and political contacts inside Israel and endearing himself to the Israeli public. Where the government stumbled, he acted and now looks like a champion of the people compared to the current leaders. Gaydamak may or may not assume a political role or rank, but, largely thanks to an unpopular prime minister and those around him, he might just determine who gets to run Israel.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by Adult Sex Game Reviews
3D Sex Dream is a new adult virtual sex offering from the creators of 3D Girlz. Unlike 3D Girlz it is not an adult sex game, but it does share the same fantastically realistic 3D anime graphics that increase the blood flow in all the right places.
The 3D Sex Dream site is split into several sections, "gallery", "series", "comics", "animations", "interactive toys" and "games". I am not sure what the last two of these sections will evolve into but at the time of writing interactive toys is not in use and the games links to 3D Girlz for you to join that site if you wish. I am hoping that there will soon be offerings here that you get free.
Selecting the "gallery" offers you a list of the types of 3D anime pictures available, e.g. "Chicks In Uniform", "Bondage", "Lesbian Toons" etc, click on the picture and you will get further picture galleries with more categories. The graphics on these virtual 3D pics are stunning and what you would expect from the same company that brought you 3D Girlz!
Next I selected "series", this was my favourite section from the adult anime pics. Here you will find sets of related hi res anime photos, e.g. "Cheating Housewife", "Dungeon Lesbians", "Jogging Slut" etc. A really nice option here is that as a member you can make suggestions for series and the designers may decide to create virtual 3D porn of your very own fantasy.
The "comic" section is extremely erotic due to the storylines that go with the pictures, again you can suggest your own ideas and they may be turned into your very own comic sex fantasy. I am sure that the stories here will have your groin aching (whether you are a male or female) in no time at all.
The final section is "animations", here you will find a growing section of virtual 3D movie clips with a theme. The quality of the clips is extremely good however one thing I found a little disappointing was the length of the clip, many only last for a few seconds!
If in addition to virtual 3D hardcore videos you like ones with regular people in too, then you will love the "Bonus Streaming Videos". You get a huge choice of free streaming videos to watch all in the price of the membership. At the time of writing there were 12 categories including, "Just Legal Babes", "Sex Toy Teens" and "Busty Solos". Each of these sections contains a large selection of decent length video clips of around 10 minutes or more.
Overall 3D Sex Dream is a fantastic site, with high quality virtual 3D graphics throughout. Add to this the bonus sex videos and this should be one for your short list.
