Rip Griffin Expands
Company opens $8-million travel plaza in Arkansas.
PRESCOTT, Ark. -- Truckers in Prescott, Ark. saw miles and miles of open road. Mark Griffin saw miles of opportunities.
The process of cultivating the barren road into a travel center -- the first in Prescott, wasn't cheap. But after more than $8 million, the 40,000-square-foot building opened its doors for the first time yesterday. "We are excited to introduce a building of this size that includes a host of retail amenities for consumers," Griffin said.
The center includes a combination fuel operation, complete with Phillips 66 gas and diesel, and a convenience store boasts 3,000 square feet of retail space. Also located in the main building is a driver's lounge, video arcade room, phone room, 11 showers, laundry facilities, financial services and a Subway Restaurant.
The foodservice offering was expanded to include the Rip Griffin Country Fare restaurant, a family-style restaurant that seats more than 220. "The new restaurant menu lineup will be a pleasant change for the traveling public as well," Griffin said.
In addition to the foodservice program, the center features a repair shop, propane sales, a weigh station, 12 diesel lanes. full-service fueling and 186 parking spots. The Rip Griffin Truck Repair Shop offers repair service around the clock seven days a week, including oil changes, inspections and tune-ups.
Rip Griffin, CEO of Rip Griffin Truck and Travel Centers, started his company with a one-pump gas station more than 30 years ago. The company has grown to a $250 million company with 12 travel centers and five convenience stores in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, California and Arkansas.

As Democrats and Republicans fall all over themselves trying to come up with ways not to raise payroll taxes on millions of Americans - all with an eye toward next fall's elections - there is another, more sinister proposal working its way through Congress.
In case you have been vacationing on the moon, you may have missed the news that the student-athletes from the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South, came up a wee bit short in attaining the football championship of the Southeastern Conference. That honor went to the young men of Louisiana State University, who, having observed them in post-game interviews, are destined to become either, you know, great orators or, you know, quantum physicists.
An International Atomic Energy Agency report says that Iran is a major nuclear threat. The IAEA shared satellite images, letters and diagrams with 35 nations to support its claim. Iran claims that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy use only. Can we believe Iran? Can we believe the IAEA? Remember, the American people once were told that Saddam Hussein was developing nuclear weapons, yet we found none.

For more than 235 years, we have depended on the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights as the foundation of our judicial system. This system is being eroded by courts that are now making their own laws and throwing out the laws passed by our elected officials. The latest trend in the courts is to follow Shariah, which is Islamic law, and international laws that have nothing to do with this country.
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives need to reassess the plan they've come up with to raise $290 billion a year in more taxes to feed the never-satisfied appetite of the federal government.
Today, I ask for a moment of personal privilege. It was two years ago this week that I wrote about the Three Wise Men who have so greatly influenced my life: Roy Hodnett, a real estate magnate on Saint Simons Island; Dr. Raymond Cook, my college professor, now residing in Valdosta and John W. Jacobs Jr., a broadcast pioneer and philanthropist from Gainesville. All three are in their 90s or close to it. All three are a part of the Greatest Generation. All three are family men of faith. I could not have asked for better role models.

Last week, it was announced that the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes would be forced to be the entertainment for the Trump inauguration or lose their jobs.
After some of the Rockettes took to social media to express their dismay, the Madison Square Garden Company announced that the dances would not be obligated to perform next month at Trump's inaugural event.
Madison Square Garden Company released the following statement: "For a Rockette to be considered for an event, they must voluntarily sign up and are never told they have to perform at a particular event, including the inaugural. It is always their choice."
This is a direct result of the social media uprising brought on by some of the dancers.
"We have been made aware of what is going on Facebook and other social media, however, this does not change anything unless Radio City has a change of heart. The ranting of the public is just that, ranting. Everyone has a right to an opinion, but this does not change your employment status for those who are full time."
The American Guild of Variety Artists claimed that its initial message had been misunderstood by their dancers.
"The Union never 'demanded' that the Rockettes perform at the inauguration. A message was sent to the Rockettes last evening that stated the terms of their contract."
The Union also confirmed that participation in the inaugural events would be voluntary, including for those "contractually obligated to perform at scheduled events throughout the year."
The Union added, "MSG's announcement that the Rockettes were being included in the Presidential inaugural has brought up legitimate concern among our Members, the theatrical community and the public at large. We are pleased that Radio City has agreed that for those Rockettes with year-round employment, participation in this event will be voluntary as well."
So now we just sit back and wait to see how many dancers will actually volunteer to perform at an event where none of them want to perform. Good luck with that, Trump.

West Indian captain Darren Sammy was confident Wednesday that his side can achieve what no other team has done in the history of the World Twenty20 -- defend the title.
Famous for playing a cavalier brand of cricket, the West Indies won the fourth edition of the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka two years ago, and are now just two matches away from defending it.
They meet Sri Lanka in the first of two semifinals in Dhaka on Thursday. (West Indies face Sri Lanka in semis)
Sammy said his side was ready to make history. "We left the Caribbean with that motivating factor for us," he said. (West Indies crush Pakistan to enter semis)
"It's something which no team has done before and we are confident that we can do that if we play the brand of cricket we played in the last three games."
India won the inaugural World Twenty20 title held in South Africa in 2007, before Pakistan clinched the second tournament in England two years later.
England won the third tournament, held in the Caribbean in 2010. This year, the West Indies lost their opening match to India before beating Bangladesh, Australia and Pakistan in group two at the Super-10 stage.
Sammy said facing Sri Lankan spinner Rangan Herath, who took an astonishing 3-5 against New Zealand in Chittagong to guide his side into the semis, would not be a problem.
"The make-up of our side allows the guys like (Dwayne) Smith and (Chris) Gayle to go hard at the top, so we don't mind the left-arm spinner and hopefully we don't play him (Herath) like New Zealand did."
Sammy said his spinners would also pose a challenge for the rival team. "Just as it (spin) will be a challenge for us, it will be a challenge for them as well. You are looking at the number one and two in West Indies' bowling line up," said Sammy of his spinners Samuel Badree and Sunil Narine -- ranked one and two in international Twenty20 rankings.
Badree took three wickets for 10 runs and Narine grabbed three for 16 as the West Indies thumped Pakistan by 84 runs in Dhaka on Tuesday to reach the last four.
The second semi-final will be between India and South Africa in Dhaka on Friday.
The final is in Dhaka on April 6.

Well, adequate Pacific Hotel is what I would call it. It is large, and I have no quarrel with the facilities, but somehow, it just doesn't come together to feel like any thing more than a room to stay in. The hotel staff were professional, non-commital and made little attempt to make you feel like you are a guest... The rooms looked disappointingly at the parking lot and in general, I would say, a hotel that had great possiblitiy, but is yet to awaked to it.

Description: Except for the Lord Jesus himself, no person has been more influential in the history of the church than Saul of Tarsus. Paul's influence upon the early church's most cherished convictions is so clear and powerful that some scholars have dared to describe him as the founder of Christianity. Paul had a greater impact on the formation of the Christian church than any other apostle. He wrote thirteen of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament so that nearly half of the New Testament documents bear his name. Although some of Paul's letters are brief compared to other New Testament books, his epistles compromise approximately one-fourth of the total volume of the New Testament.Approximately sixteen chapters of the Book of Acts focus on Paul's persecution of the church, conversion, missionary labors, arrest and imprisonment. When these chapters are combined with Paul's letters, Paul may be recognized as the author or subject of nearly one-third of the New Testament. Paul was not only the most effective Christian missionary and church planter in history, but also the most significant and influential interpreter of Jesus' teachings and of the significance of Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and return.This book introduces readers to this amazing man and his incredible story. It explains the background of each of Paul's letters and offers a summary of the beliefs of one of the keenest theological minds in the history of the church. All along, it enables the reader an opportunity to step into the world of Paul with over 150 photos, maps, illustrations, and charts.

Joining issues on the raging controversy, the three former India stars - Polly Umrigar, Nari Contractor and Chandu Borde - talked in general terms on what ICC has to do to speed up the process in dealing with such bowlers.
Umrigar, who played with distinction for the country in the 1950s and early 1960s and is a much respected figure in dealing with technical issues concerning the game, said the current two-stage process of the ICC to deal with the problem is very long.
"In such cases (in dealing with bowlers with suspect action) a decision should be taken quickly. I am not very much in favour of the current process. If he chucks, he chucks. There are no two ways about it," the ex-India skipper said.
"The umpire should call when a bowler chucks. He should give the bowler a warning that his action was wrong or tell the team captain that he has to correct the action immediately or he would not be allowed to bowl again in the innings", Umrigar said.
"The umpires know when a bowler chucks. They are all experienced guys. The remedy should be quick and not time consuming," he said.
On the issue of the degree of bent elbow for different types of bowlers which has been decided upon as acceptable by the lawmakers of the game, the former India great was not too convinced how fool proof it is.
"How do you judge these things with naked eyes. It's full of loopholes. It's better to leave it to the judgement of the umpires whether a bowler throws or not. They would know," he added.
Former Test opener Contractor, whose unfortunate and serious skull injury when leading the Indian squad in the side game against Barbados during the 1962 West Indies tour cut short his international career, also supported his former teammate's views on the issue.
"However dumb a cricketer may be, he will not chuck when he's under scrutiny in a non-match situation. There his action is passed by the concerned authorities. He goes back and starts to chuck again when he bowls in matches", Contractor pointed out.
"The current process is too long and not ideal. Instead it would be better if he's called by on-field umpires if they feel his action is not above board. Later that particular delivery can be reviewed through slow-motion TV replays," the former left-handed batsman said.

European Leadership Network members express support for the Iran nuclear agreement
Friday 24 July 2015
Group statement signed by over 70 members
Signed by over 70 European political, diplomatic and military leadership figures, this intervention calls the July 14th Iranian nuclear agreement a sound framework for ending the crisis and urges specific actions to implement the deal by the U.S. Congress, EU countries and Iran.
Key signatories include Des Browne (Chair of the ELN, Vice Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, former UK Defence Secretary), George Robertson (former Secretary General of NATO and former UK Defence Secretary), Malcolm Rifkind (former UK Foreign Secretary), Michel Rocard (former French Prime Minister), Igor Yurgens (Chairman of the Management Board of the Institute for Contemporary Development, Russia), Vyacheslav Trubnikov (former Director of Russian Foreign Intelligence), Wolfgang Ischinger (Chairman of the Munich Security Conference), Volker Rühe (former German Defence Minister), Jaap de Hoop Scheffer (former NATO Secretary General), and Rolf Ekeus (former Director of the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq).
The full statement is reproduced below. A PDF version, along with a full list of signatories, is available here.
- The agreement places long-term, verifiable constraints on the development of technologies and construction of facilities which could be used by Iran to produce weapons-grade materials. It caps the accumulation of nuclear material which could be used to produce a nuclear bomb and it simultaneously offers Iran an opportunity for its peaceful nuclear program to grow.
- The agreement includes a robust mechanism for monitoring the development of the Iranian nuclear program and verifying its peaceful nature by the IAEA, addressing both the question of supervision of the declared facilities and the possibility of nuclear 'sneak-out' using clandestine facilities.
- The agreement demonstrates that a crisis over a country's non-compliance with the nuclear non-proliferation obligations can be resolved through negotiations rather than the use of force. If faithfully implemented, it will be a powerful argument against those who claim that only possession of nuclear weapons can guarantee any country's 'real' security.
- The agreement will open the way for economic engagement with Iran, which should strengthen internally the position of the pragmatic proponents of peaceful co-existence and cooperation with outside partners.
- The agreement may open the way for wider cooperation on pressing regional and international security issues, including the fight against ISIS, ending the Syrian civil war, guaranteeing a stable future for Afghanistan, and the fight against narcotics production and smuggling.

Maxi (singer)
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (April 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Maxi (born 23 February 1950) is an Irish radio disc-jockey and producer; actress, journalist and singer. She came to fame in Ireland as part of the popular girl group, Maxi, Dick and Twink, in the late 1960s.
Personal life[edit]
She grew up in Dublin's Harold's Cross. At school she sang in the Little Dublin Singers before joining the Young Dublin Singers. She was nicknamed Maxi in school because of the "Mc" letters in her name.
In the late 1960s Maxi teamed up with Barbara Dixon and Adele King to form Maxi, Dick and Twink. The trio toured Ireland, the UK and Canada and recorded two singles. They also worked a session singers in Motown studios in Detroit, Michigan, before disbanding.
Following this she pursued a career with Danny Doyle and Music Box before going solo. She represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1973 singing "Do I Dream", finishing tenth.[1]
In the late 1970s, Maxi became part of another all-girl trio Sheeba, with Marion Fossett and Frances Campbell. The group represented Ireland in the 1981 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Horoscopes", finishing in fifth place. After making several records Sheeba's career came to halt following a road accident in 1982 in Mayo in the west of Ireland. Despite a short tour of Japan in 1983, the group realised they could no longer tour and broke up.
Radio and Television[edit]
Maxi embarked on a career in broadcasting with the Irish national broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). Working mainly on radio, she also took on some television work including a quiz show, presenting Ireland's lottery and fronting the Miss Ireland contest. In 1987 Maxi presented the selection contest for Eurovision alongside Marty Whelan. During this time she also worked as a journalist.
In 1999 she became the early morning presenter on Risin' Time on RTÉ Radio 1. She left this however in 2010 because of chronic exhaustion brought about by her daily battles against the circadian rhythm. She described her experience: "First of all, I was totally confused, I didn't know what the heck had happened. So I had to call in the experts, and my advisers were saying, 'well, first you have to completely rest, and that takes about five or six months. And then you go into the exercise regime of kicking the body into action again'."[2]
Charity work[edit]
Maxi was appointed special representative for UNICEF Ireland, and one of her first public engagements was to highlight the situation is on several disaster fronts, particularly in sub-Sahara Africa. Attending the fifth annual UNICEF International Mother's Day Lunch held in Dublin, she appealed with stories of the deprivation and disasters facing the people in AIDS-ravaged Zambia, where she spent two weeks.

Flying is one of the most interesting and powerful recipes for a sociological experiment that exists in the modern world.
Step one: pack 200 tired, hungry, strangers into a metal tube. Step two: add in their collective fear of death and heights by launching that metal tube thousands of feet into the air. Step three: leave that tube in the air for between one and 14 hours. Bonus step: throw a few crying babies into the mix for best results.
Despite the ludicrous nature of commercial flights, there are generally no incidents. This is thanks to the social contract that binds us all together and has allowed humans to co-exist for generations.
That contract was torn to shreds on Thursday by one woman's feet on a Beijing to Xi'an flight.
A Chinese woman, identified only as Ms. Wu, posted the following picture from her flight onto the Chinese blog known as Sina Weibo.
That picture reveals what just might be the most horribly offensive moment in all of human history. The unidentified woman behind Ms. Wu has placed her bare feet onto the armrest in front of her.
Such a brazen act of selfish armrest hogging has never before been recorded. Sure some of us have had to deal with a plus-sized passenger or a person who does not understand that the middle seat gets both armrests as a concession for their lowly position. But this just takes things to a much higher, and much more infuriating level.
Commenters on Ms. Wu's pictures asked her the obvious question of why she remained silent throughout the entire flight.
"We were only two and I was afraid my comments would cause an argument," was Ms. Wu's reply.
At the end of the day, Ms. Wu shouldn't have to say anything. It should be clear to an adult human being that it is not okay to place bare feet in the face of another adult human being.
The FBI is currently offering a $1 million reward for any information leading to the arrest or capture of this heinous airline criminal.
Well, not really, but they should.

Import Export Canada Facts and Regulations
Most people probably don't think of Import Export Canada as a major player in international trade, but exports make up about 45% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Canada also imports a wide variety of products, though until recently it was a net exporter of goods.
Import Export Canada Information
Top Exports
Canada is one of the few developed nations in the world that is a net exporter of energy, including electricity, natural gas, and crude oil. The country exports other raw materials like wood pulp, timber, aluminum, wheat, grains, and other agricultural products. It also exports manufactured goods, including telecommunications equipment, industrial machinery, aircraft, motor vehicles, and motor vehicle parts, which together make up close to 20% of all exports. Plastics, fertilizers, and chemicals are also important products.
Top Imports
The majority of Canadian imports consist of manufactured goods. The most common include machinery, sound recording and playing devices, televisions, DVD players, and other video equipment, which make up some 23% of all imports. Automobiles, trucks, boats, and other vehicles and parts make up the next-largest segment of the imports (16%), after which come mineral imports, chemical and allied products, and base metals and products made out of base metals.
The Import Export Canada and United States Relationship
The United States and Canada have a very close relationship in terms of international trade. Each is the others major import and export partner, though the US plays a far greater role in Canada's economy than the other way around. 16.1% of the US"s imports come from Canada and about 20% of its exports go to Canada, while 70% of Canada's exports go to the US and 50% of its imports come from the US. The intertwining of the two economies is facilitated by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which also includes Mexico.
Import Export Canada Market
Trading Partners
Though the import export Canada market is dominated by the United States, it does have other major trading partners scattered throughout the world. China (9.8%), Mexico (4.1%), Japan (3.5%), and the United Kingdom and Germany (each 2.9%) are the other major sources of goods imported into Canada. The United Kingdom (2.7%), Japan (2.3%), China (2.2%), and Mexico (1.2%) are the major receivers of Canadian export goods. Clearly, the market with the United States is the one to consider most carefully when getting involved in import export Canada.
Rules and Regulations
Canada does put a variety of restrictions and taxes on certain goods imported into the country. Licenses or other restrictions control the import of textiles, clothing, firearms, steel, and agricultural products. There are a variety of products subject to export controls. These include textiles and clothing, logs, softwood lumber, sugar and sugar-containing products, and peanut butter. There are also controls on military and strategic goods and technology and firearms. Other regulations and controls may apply, so make sure you research this area.
The import export Canada market, while dominated by imports from and exports to the United States, is an exciting one full of possibilities. Make sure you consider Canada as a source or destination for your import export goods!

Here are some lovely garden thoughts from some pretty good gardeners:
"From December to March, there are for many us three gardens: the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house and the garden of the mind's eye"
Katherine S. White
"The unmulched garden looks to me like some naked thing which for one reason or another would be better off with a few clothes on."
Ruth Stout, The Ruth Stout No-Work Garden Book, 1971
"I love being asked to identify plants, and I don't know which gives me more pleasure: to know what they are or not to know what they are."
Elizabeth Lawrence, Through the Garden Gates, 1990
"The only two herbicides we recommend are cultivation and mulching."
Organic Gardening Magazine
"A flower is an educated weed."
Luther Burbank
"The most noteworthy thing about gardeners is that they are always optimistic, always enterprising, and never satisfied. They always look forward to doing something better than they have ever done before."

it was an ok job
tense environment between management and engineers
Advice to Management
managers need to provide feedback more frequently
Helpful (4)
Laid back work atmosphere most times. Quiet place to work. If you want a simple job where money, promotions etc. does not matter then it is great! They will hire just about anybody. If you are unemployed and you just have to have a job then they will give you one. I mean I like Benchmark and the people. I just would not want to work there for a long time. Great job for high scholl or college kids.
Low pay. Little to no raises. No bonuses. Little help from upper management for promotions or help with problems on the line. Virtually impossible the get a promotion. Employee morale is low. Managers do not communicate well. They expect you do live at the plant. The plant never closes even in the worst of natural disasters, except some Holidays, and they still expect you to come to work! Not coming in could also count negatively against you and may be grounds for getting laid-off. Taking time off period could be an issue and grounds to be the first one laid-off. Expect not to get paid, but they will expect you to work 3 or more jobs simultaneously and like it without complaint. Expect to work weekends, expect not to get able notice of overtime, cannot plan ahead cause they expect you to come to work, if you do not it will count against you. Again, that also may be grounds to get laid off. Terriblely high employee turnover rate. If you have read my previous comments you see why.
Advice to Management
Cut your salaries and give more salaries to the people. Hire more high quality people from within the plant that actually know how to do the job. Actually post all of the jobs that are available not just the ones you want to post. Listen to the plant workers more. I have seen plant employees that know more about the product that upper management and engineers because employees not only build every component and test them, but they are cross-trained on almost the whole entire process. Most employees know how to do multiple jobs on multiple lines. They ought to be promoted at some point. Assembler I employees should not be Assembler I employees for 5 years and only get a 30 cent raise in 5 years. When exceptional employees put their hard earned time in they deserve to be rewarded.
The best employees are quitting and getting jobs where they are rewarded for their hard work with more than just a pat on the back. Benchmark could be a billion dollar company if it would give people what they deserve. There a few people in upper management that know what they are doing and most of the engineers you never see. No one is really familiar with the product except for the technicians and assemblers, but that does not help Benchmark any because they won't promote any of them. If Benchmark is going to succeed they have to have better business practices. I have seen Product Engineers and the like come to my plant telling me all the wrong stuff all the time and them get mad when I do not agree with them.
Toyota is successful (despite declining car sales due to the current economic status of the U.S.) because they hire the best, they expect their employees to work hard, they promote their employees and their business model is exceptional. I thought that Benchmark would be a place to move up, but it is not. They just want you to stay where you are so they do not have to pay you any more money. I know a lot of people who chose to be unemployed rather than put up with Benchmark any longer.
I am not exaggerating. I did not leave Benchmark on a bad note. This is coming from one of the most dedicated, well liked employees Benchmark had. In closing my advice to Benchmark is " be loyal to your employees and they will be loyal to you. If you treat them like just another number, all your great employees will leave and all you will be left with is numbers, poor quality, incompetent people, huge overhead, scrap that is too high and terrible inventory turnover." Want to change? Build people and those people will build your company, tear them down and they'll do the same!
Helpful (1)
Stable company where a person can gain entry level experience before moving on.
Turnover is very high and the hours are long. The culture does not encourage or reward independent initiative or thinking. For anyone with a reasonable amount of ambition, there is very limited opportunity within the company itself. The majority of people who advance from the ground floor up seem do so on the basis of longevity rather than professional or personal merit.
Advice to Management
Take the time to get to know the employees who are managing the day to day tasks of the business and make sure those employees are being given opportunities to capitalize on their strengths. Let your employees know their contributions are are valued and appreciated, and be willing to invest in their well-being.

Special Needs Children
Students of Special Needs Children studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Special Needs Children textbooks – for example The Connected Child: Bring hope and healing to your adoptive family by [Karyn B. Purvis, David R. Cross, Wendy Lyons Sunshine], and Special Education Law by [Patricia H Latham, Peter S Latham, Myrna Mandlawitz] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Special Needs Children is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Special Needs Children books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Special Needs Children classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Bonds fall for 4th day as rupee slumps to record low
Government bonds fell for a fourth straight session on Wednesday in volatile trading, tailing the rupee which made new lows on fears that foreigners will continue to exit the country as economic challenges mount.
Mumbai: Government bonds fell for a fourth straight session on Wednesday in volatile trading, tailing the rupee which made new lows on fears that foreigners will continue to exit the country as economic challenges mount.
Bond investors remain buffeted by current account deficit worries as foreign investors pull out of emerging markets and by fiscal deficit concerns as the government gets ready to roll out an ambitious food subsidy programme.
The primary concern for bond dealers, however, remains the rupee, which plummeted 3.7 percent on Wednesday. The local currency fell to a record low of 68.85 to a dollar on concerns that foreign investors may start pulling out of equities.
Foreign investors have sold nearly $1 billion in eight sessions to Tuesday after having relatively resilient.
Dealers say bonds found some support around 9 percent yield levels as they found them attractive.
"There was clearly a lot of support for the market at 9 percent yield levels. The RBI has signalled that it wants to keep long-term yields down," said R. Sivakumar, head of fixed income dealing at Axis Mutual Fund.
The benchmark 10-year bond yield rose 18 basis points to 8.96 percent. It traded in a band of 8.76 percent to 9.04 percent during the session. Volumes remained low at 136.80 billion rupees.
The central bank will buy 80 billion rupees worth of government bonds through an open market operation on Friday, its second such purchase in as many weeks.
The bond purchase is a part of the central bank's plan to keep long-term yields capped as it tries to provide succour to a bond market roiled by its rupee defence and heavy supply in August.
The central bank will also sell 170 billion rupees of bonds on Friday, its biggest weekly sale in the fiscal first half.
In the overnight indexed swap market, the benchmark five-year rate closed up 32 bps at 9.10 percent. The one-year rate ended 32 bps higher at 10.16 percent.

Library director Lisa Youngblood gathered with children at the Stewart C. Meyer Harker Heights Library last week to talk about money.
Youngblood, along with representatives from the city's Finance Department and First National Bank, taught children about financial responsibility during the Dollar and Cents program Aug. 14.
Trinatye Bennett, 8, came to the program while visiting with her grandmother, who lives in Nolanville.
"I learned that you shouldn't just spend money on the things you want," Trinatye said. "You should save up for the things you need and want."
Trinatye is saving money to buy a birthday present for her cat.
Amanda Stephens from First National Bank read a story about spending money.
"The bank has purchased children's financial-themed books to donate to the library so parents can talk to their kids about money," Stephens said. "It's great to work with local libraries to teach financial literacy to children."
Children were given play money to spend in a play store. The event was aimed at teaching children how to budget their money to buy the things they need and want. Children were able to purchase coin bags, pencils, toys and books from the play store.
Sebastian Lowe, 6, of Killeen, said he liked buying stuff from the library store.
"You can't spend money that you don't have," Sebastian said.
Christina Smith, who works with the city's Finance Department, read a book to children and worked at the play store.
"It's important for kids to learn how to save up for the things they want," Smith said.

I have a user in our domain that every once in a while loses their mapped drive. The mapped drive doesn't just have a red X like it lost the connection. The drive actually disappears.
Once the computer is restarted it shows back up.
Any ideas on why this happens?
Thanks in advance

I've got a few users with the same issue. Anyone able to help Curtis and myself?

Hey E.
We have got this problem fixed for now. Here is a copy of the trouble ticket we had opened.
It seems as though, after our Network Admin changed some group policy settings, that the problem went away.
Hopefully this helps some, I am just the IT support tech and I do not know for sure what policies he changed in AD.
Peter is having problems with his computer not connecting to the M: drive in the morning.
Peter has complained again about losing connection to the M: drive (\\Server\qb)
For now I had him run
net use m: \\stl-msg1\qb
to map the drive, but for some reason the script to map the M: drive is not working
Jun 17, 2008 @ 11:30 am
This is an article found that also includes a hotfix for a problem very similar to this.
Group Policy settings have been changed a bit. No problems so far.....
There has not been a problem with this for over a week now. Looks as though the changes to the Group Policy settings are working.
Jul 21, 2008 at 11:36 UTC
CAMS Bluewire Technology is an IT service provider.
A couple of things foe you to check:
If user is using "Offline Files" diable: this fixed a similar issue we were having where user would login, drive maps, then disappears, the a reboot and its back.
Disabling Offline Files fixed this issue.
Also make sure licensing is in order.
Oct 30, 2008 at 4:11 UTC
I am having a similar issue. Sometimes users won't have their mapped drive in the morning and they need to re-logon for it to come up again. I sometimes suspected licensing but I don't know how to check it. Any thoughts? thanks.

TAC Uitenhage Branch Holds Vigil for Sick Comrade
17 July 2003
About fifteen members of the TAC Uitenhage branch held a night vigil which ended at 12pm today for one of their sick comrades. The aim of the vigil was to highlight the urgent need to make antiretroviral therapy available in the public health sector. The Uitenhage branch has written a statement which is reproduced below.
Statement by the TAC Uitenhage Branch
TAC activists picket through the night to demand antiretroviral treatment for fellow comrade
We are picketing at this hospital through the night to demand that our comrade be given proper treatment. She's been ill and all indications show that she needs antiretrovirals. Ntombomzi was admitted yesterday after getting fits and being confused. A proper diagnosis has not yet been made, but doctors suspect Cryptococcal Meningitis. While a proper diagnosis will help for Ntombomzi to be given treatment for the particular illness she has at the moment, we know that without antiretrovirals to fight the HIV directly, our comrade will get other illnesses.
Ntombomzi Ranawe was one of the first people to start a support group and a TAC branch in Uitenhage. She lies at Uitenhage Provincial Hospital, which is a state hospital and where antiretroviral treatment is not available. We are doing this because we want to show to government that people are dying. While the leaders of our country play with nice words to delay implementing this treatment programme, we on the ground are dying.
This cannot continue in silence. From now on, every death that could possibly have been prevented must be noted. Like the deaths of people in Sharpeville, like the deaths of those who died during the apartheid struggle, our deaths must be noted. It must be written down in history books as a human tragedy, a direct result of the failure of political will.
We stand here today with hope that our comrade will get well and come out of hospital. We hope that our government will speedily finalise a decision to start implementing a treatment programme with antiretroviral therapy as supported by the joint Health/Treasury task team study so that she and many others who need this treatment can get it.
We also hope that the Eastern Cape government will start to lead us in this province in addressing HIV/AIDS. Recent reports show that our hospitals in this province are dying in front of the government's eyes and that our AIDS programmes are not working.
There is a shortage of staff, medical equipment and medicines and people die unnecessarily. This cannot continue. We ask our Eastern Cape government, particularly health MEC Dr Goqwana, to act on the recommendations of these reports and not to force us into Civil Disobedience. We also demand answers as to what the province's operation plan is for treating HIV/AIDS.
What we are doing here today will continue until our comrades get treatment. Next time we will pitch a tent here at the hospital and sit here a whole week. We refuse to die in silence while politicians delay decisions that could save lives and give hope. We will fight for our dignity and our rights!

Best Survival Horror Video Games
The Top Ten
You will crap your pants over and over again.
I punched my computer 8 times playing this
I like most Shattered Memories, Origins and the new one Downpour... Its way freaky but at the same thing intresting cause once you start playing it... You wanna finish it so bad... Damn
World's best game really! It's story line is so awesome! I've never seen such amazing story-lines!V 2 Comments
Set in the 26th century players are sent on a mission to rescue two mining ships in the far reaches of the galaxy. However, their ship is damaged while trying to dock and the discovery of alien life forces them to fight their way out against Necromorphs, which are deceased humans that have been animated by a mysterious alien organism. - Alexandr
I have one million problems with stalker being above this.
The original was good, RE4 is completely overrated, RE2 was a fine game but the Remake is Awesome. Keeping everything the same but improving the quality, Resident Evil for the GameCube is the greatest Survival Horror Game I've ever played.
I don't think Bioshock is horror, so I'm not voting for it. this game, however, is amazing. oit even beats the last of us! - HeavyDonkeyKongV 1 Comment
The makers of this game were un-heard of until this masterpiece was released on PC. The vibe of the game is brilliant. I'm not saying the best, after playing Frictional Games Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but it gets you looking over your shoulder for most of the game. Unlike most games, the horror doesn't actually just come from jump scares, there are actually some pretty disturbing things if you haven't got a stomach for gore and torture. The worst, and I'm not spoiling is when your in the lair of The Man Downstairs who has some strange tastes, in the DLC, Outlast Whistleblower. On the subject of the DLC, it is worth playing as much as the first game. Now for me, if a games gameplay is good, its graphics don't have to be top notch. However, in Outlast, the graphics a beautiful. The shadows work, the enemies chasing you move smoothly, fire is excellent, faces are as realistic as anything... One thing that they have done perfectly, is the main characters body. The hands are almost life ...moreV 2 Comments
It brings you through the dark descent of isaac clark as he goes aboard a ravaged space ship filled with a set of creatures called necromorphs and stands as one of the most frightening games I have ever played.
Dead Space 1 is a perfect horror game in all aspects. Atmosphere, action, combat, story, monsters, variety of gameplay, and characters. Then Dead Space 2 came along and was even better than 1.
Fight with zombies in the space! BEST IDEA EVER
The Contenders
This is the game that popularized the genre. Sure it hasn't aged well, mostly due to the voice acting and dialogue, but it was a revolutionary game in 1996.
Great game and the best of the Series!
Why isn't Alone in the Dark no Number 1?V 1 Comment
It's not like most survival horror games, you use a camera as a weapon to fight ghosts. Strongly recommend this. - RedSpiderLily
Is one of the first horror games and it's really sacary for me a lot better than silent hill and use a history very macabre.V 1 Comment
The spine-tingling tension of F.E.A.R. puts it near the top of the list of the most scary games. Mysterious paramilitary force and eerie interruptions of radio communications are just the beginning of this terrorizing supernatural storyline which will give you more scares than a horror movie! - Alexandr
Siren was banned due to the content in the game. It is such a good game and it's a pity that you can't buy it anymore. - TheGrammarPolice
This game is one of the most dark, hard and realistic of all the times, the story is very incredible and sick.

Someone to write this plugin ?
I've been investigating a lot and there's no plugin doing something similar.
It's about promotional ad, mainly on the home page, without changing anything of it design and structure (that's it's goody).
I explain here under why I think it should be useful to many people, just in case someone would write it.
Please have a look to (fake) screenshots. You'll see a web site shot, and the 3 admin's pages to add a promotional ad, to compose it and the usual settings page.
By my side, I offer the idea and analyse free for a free plugin.
Writer can keep all the donated $, fame and what he wants. Just name pikkabbu if you agree to.
Star Modal promotions allow you to make promotional ads on your website without disturbing your page design or structure, and show them in the best and more visible place of your page: the main picture one.
No need to modify page structure, specially great for home page ! The ad shows a a modal window over the selected picture. Location and place are eligible.
Modal window can contain any html code, i.e. text, links, pictures, buttons, and so ever.
You can choose whether you want any ad shows after page load delay, after prior ad delay, on main picture mouse over, clicking a button.
User closes with X button, after some delay, after executing the link (of course).
Can use shortcode [starmodpro name="my_promo"] or in a template
<?php echo do_shortcode('[starmodpro name="my_promo"]]'); ?>
Plugin is responsive if your theme is.
As usual.
Can I have several ads together ?
Of course you can. You can choose how many can be showned in the same session (not to bother you users), and the delay between them. Of course, as long as the user remains on the same page.
Can I program campaigns ?
Sure. Every ad has a from and until date and hour.
What's the order of the ads if several ?
You can adjust setting to show ads in the sane order they are onto the All Promotions' page, or random.
How can I choose on what pages my ads will be shown ?
Use the shortcode or insert php code into your page template.
<?php echo do_shortcode('[starmodpro name="my_promo"]]'); ?>
Is the plugin responsive ?
If your theme is, so it is, anyway you can use it with a any theme using a picture on the page.
SCREENSHOTS (user and admin dashboard)

I'm a sucker for rose gold. My flat iron is white and rose gold, my headphones are rose gold, and most of my jewellery is too. My favourite eyeliner? Vasanti Kajal Extreme Intense Eye Pencil in Rose Gold. Like a moth to a flame. So when Rosie Huntington-Whiteley posted a photo of her disco-inspired rose gold makeup (done by makeup artist Patrick Ta) on Instagram, I was all over it. I screen-grabbed the photo and immediately raided Glow's beauty drawers.
The star of the look is obviously the shimmery rose gold eye shadow. Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow has a similar photo-friendly shade called Metallic Dusty Rose. It also has a cool little application trick that lets you turn up the colour by mixing the primer and eyeshadow together in the mixing tray (the shadow comes with all those things). To really make it pop, I started with a different eyeshadow as a base, a more opaque bronze rose eyeshadow that I applied all the way up to my brow bone (Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Hammamet) Then, I pressed on the Stila eyeshadow.
For added definition, I used Bourjois ColorBand Eyeshadow & Liner in Noir Abstrait (to get that soft, smokey effect at the base) and followed up with L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Sculpt Mascara, concentrating on the roots of the lashes.
After brushing away any fall out, I used Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights in Baked Stardust on my cheeks. I'm a big fan of all-in-one bronzer, blush and highlighter combos and this one sculpts your cheeks—a necessity if you aren't blessed with Rosie's sky-high cheekbones—without making you look like case of contouring gone wrong.
I kept the gloss in the same colour family by choosing Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in Diorama. The brush tip applicator lets you paint your lips with precision while the formula is pumped up with hyaluronic acid, giving you some hope of imitating her pillowy pout.
While Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's overall look is a bit OTT (it was her birthday, after all), you don't have to use all these products. You can skip the liner to make it more daytime friendly or forgo the primer by just patting the shade directly onto your eyes. You can even hold off on the blush. Right now, I'm savouring wearing everything at the same time. Because, rose gold.
