HE faces a fine of just £2,500, but the damage to John Terry's reputation if found guilty of racial abuse would be far more costly.
And last night the Chelsea and England skipper vowed to clear his name after being told he will be charged for allegedly calling QPR's Anton Ferdinand a black c*** during a bitter London derby.
Terry, 31, yesterday trained with his team-mates ahead of tonight's clash with Tottenham before prosecutors announced their decision to haul him before magistrates in February.
He said in a statement: "I am disappointed with the decision to charge me and hope to be given the chance to clear my name as quickly as possible.
"I have never aimed a racist remark at anyone and count people from all races and creeds among my closest friends. I will fight tooth and nail to prove my innocence. I have campaigned against racism and believe there is no place for it in society."
The timing of the hearing and any subsequent trial could hit Terry's preparations for England's Euro 2012 campaign.
Chief Prosecutor for London Alison Saunders said the defender should be charged for "a racially aggravated public order offence".
She added: "The decision was taken after careful consideration of all the evidence. I am satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute this case."
Terry's appearance at West London magistrates court in Hammersmith will take place less than a month before England's friendly with Holland.
The player, who earns £150,000 a week, is accused of making the racist remark to 26-year-old Ferdinand during Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to QPR on October 23.
TV footage showed him confronting his rival. Police were called in after a member of the public made a complaint.
New evidence, featuring previously unseen clips from TV cameras, was handed to the CPS last week. Ferdinand, Manchester United defender Rio's younger brother, made no comment yesterday. But he has said he has "strong feelings on the matter".
If Terry denies the charge he would be tried by magistrates as the offence he is accused of cannot go to crown court. Football chiefs will wait until the legal process is finished before deciding whether to ban Terry.
But in the wake of Liverpool star Luis Suarez's eight-game ban for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra, Terry can expect a similar punishment if convicted.
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas added: "I will be fully supportive of him whatever the outcome. We know exactly his human values and personality."
Gordon Taylor, chief executive of Professional Footballers' Association, said he wanted to warn members that "just because it is a football pitch it is not a vacuum" and the law of the land applies.
Lord Ousely, chairman of the charity Kick it Out which campaigns against all forms of discrimination in football, said it was a "very sad day for football" and added he was "surprised" at the CPS decision.
OCT 23 Chelsea lose 1-0 to QPR in a Premier League clash at Loftus Road. Afterwards, video circulates which viewers claim shows Terry using racist language towards Ferdinand. Terry denies allegations saying: "I thought Anton was accusing me of using a racist slur against him. I responded aggressively, saying I never used that term. I have known Anton a long time and spoke to him about it after the game and there was no problem between us."
OCT 25 Police announce they are looking into claims after a complaint from a member of the public. FA also launch probe. Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas backs Terry, saying: "He said to me the incident was a big misunderstanding." He claims the players cleared the air later.
OCT 28 Ferdinand makes his first public statement describing it as "the craziest week of my life".
OCT 31 Ferdinand releases statement saying he had "strong feelings on the matter, but in not wishing to prejudice what I am sure will be a very thorough inquiry by the FA, this will be my last comment on the subject until it is concluded".
NOV 1 Police confirm they have launched a formal investigation.
NOV 5 Fabio Capello confirms Terry will play in England friendlies against Spain and Sweden.
NOV 15 Terry receives a mixed welcome from fans after returning to captain England against Sweden at Wembley.
NOV 28 Defender is interviewed by officers under caution.
DEC 1 Scotland Yard announce they have passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service.
DEC 21 CPS announce Terry will be charged with racially abusing Ferdinand and is due before magistrates on February 1.

I Have A Dream
January 17, 2012 by staff
I Have A Dream, Everyone seems to be talking about that iconic figure. Meanwhile Martin Luther King Jr quotes and his 'I have a dream' speech has gone viral
Martin Luther King Jr is being remembered by people across the world. After Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi across the world, he was the man who transformed a whole society, brought out a whole community from the ignominy of deprivation and discrimination and gave them a respectable place in the United States. He helped the United States become a true democracy and the most equalitarian society in the world.
Martin Luther King Jr was a leader of substance, someone who unlike normal people was made of a different stuff. He was made of will power, determination, dedication and welfare of his people. For him his people were his mission and making them free in their own nation was his goal. Great orator and leader Martin Luther King Jr. is revered not just in the United States but across the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929. At the time of his birth segregation of black was the order of the day with black being forced out from every walk of life by Whites. Mrtin Luther King Jr. was also forced to attend a segregated public school like every other black kid in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen. He also did his graduation from an only black college Morehouse College in Atlanta. In the year 1951 he got his BD and doctorate in the year 1955 from Boston University.
He travelled around 13 million kilometers during 11 years between 1957 and 1968 to create awareness among American people about the human equality and the lack of it in the US society at that time. He was the youngest person to have received Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35. He donated the extravagantly large sum that he won as part of Nobel Peace Prize to the civil society movement.
Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday is celebrated as a federal holiday across the America. He has been remembered every January for his contribution to build a democratic and liberal society in which the blacks had equal right. A propagator for nonviolent activism, he was assassinated on April 4, 968. He led a civil rights movement and always discouraged violence. He is not only remembered by blacks but whites also respect him for his visionary view.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid decided not to wait until game day to rule out running back Brian Westbrook (ribs) for Sunday's game against the 49ers. He admitted that the upcoming bye week played a role in his decision to rest Westbrook, who was injured in the first quarter of last Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Redskins. Reid:
"Brian wants to go. He's in the mindset that he wants to play, but it's a decision that I've got to make. He's a tough nut and I know that. I've got to do what I think is best for him and the football team down the road. It made the decision a little easier for me than it is for him. Obviously, he wants to contribute and compete."
Reid also ruled out right guard Shawn Andrews and wide receiver Reggie Brown for the game. Defensive end Juqua Parker didn't practice Friday, but Reid thinks he'll play. If you're trying to connect the dots, this means that Correll Buckhalter will receiver the bulk of the carries in San Francisco and Lorenzo Booker will get the leftovers. Booker has been slow to grasp Reid's offense, which is baffling when you consider that he had the entire offseason.
For more information on the Eagles' injury situation, please read our weekly "Audibles" at 4 p.m. ET today.

La Sylphide
He's young, rich, entitled and in love with an entrancing female from a magical realm. No, it's not Swan Lake, it's La Sylphide, an even older and possibly more romantic ballet, being presented by Los Angeles Ballet at four local venues in the next month. The plot follows a handsome Scotsman who abandons his world for an entrancing woodland sprite, a Sylphide. The plot thickens when our hero arrives in the Sylphides' forest, pursued by a vengeful witch whom he has offended. The two-act La Sylphide is paired with George Balanchine's 1930s masterpiece Serenade. Bathed in blue lighting and featuring dancers in long diaphanous costumes, Serenade was the first ballet Balanchine choreographed in America, and it's regarded as one of his most beautiful. Tackling these two ballets together is a declaration of how far Los Angeles Ballet has come in just eight years, despite L.A.'s tough dance terrain. Further proof is the company's first tour outside California, to Seattle's McCaw Hall Theater, after these performances. Valley Performing Arts Center, 18111 Nordhoff St., Northridge; Sat., May 31, 7:30 p.m. Also at the Alex Theatre, 216 N.

Cats and Babies
I know about the whole 'don't change the litter box when pregnant' thing for toxoplasmosis.
I've heard the myth about cats being 'soul-stealers' or something equally ridiculous because the milk smell on baby would often make them cuddle, thus suffocating baby. I've also read that WHOLE thing was a myth, and there is no need to worry about cat and baby except for tail-grabbing and jealousy issues, but certainly nothing fatal.
However, my MIL still suggested we be rid of our cats when I was pregnant. I refused, of course, because our cats are part of our family.
Have you guys ever had problems with pets and your children? If you had cats, did you get rid of them during pregnancy/once the kid was born? Why or why not?
Moms Expertise01/02/14
I have 2 cats and one while my youngest was a baby. I was a little scared about the old myth cause it sounds realistic. I think it just depends on the cat, we all know cats have their own personalities. My miss kitty still sleeps with my daughters and sometimes right up on their pillows but I've never seen her try to do anything to hurt them. And when my girls were younger they would bit her, drag her by her tail, smack her, carry her around and I swear she would just go limp and would never bit or scratch at them. Our animals are part of our family and I would just play the waiting game. Watch them interact with your baby once its here while its sleeping and I think as a mom you'll know and if it comes to that you'll have no problem getting rid of it just for the simple fact it might hurt your kid.
what are your cats breed? are they hypo-allergenic?
Nope, they aren't. I don't know what breed they are, probably some kind of mix, but definitely not hypo-allergenic. (I can tell because of my sneezy neighbor! Lol!)
Moms Expertise11/20/13
We have had a few problems with our cats, actually, where we thought downsizing our litter would be a good idea. But the cat I had actually considered putting up proved to be the best with babies when my year old niece visits. My other cat I've considered is the youngest, but I think when it comes down to it, he'll be too skittish to want to deal with baby, anyway. He likes spending time outdoors unlike to other cats, so I'm not too worried. My cat is the female, and honestly, I think she'll be as protective and motherly over the baby as a dog would, and won't want to leave mine or baby's side! Our kitties are here to stay, and if we have any problems, we will take appropriate measures in keeping them away from the baby for a while. It's a big adjustment for everyone and they will have to learn their role, too. I'll make sure everyone is well-acquainted, lol.
Moms Expertise04/24/14
We had a cat when Jasmine and Makenzie both were babies. With Jasmine, the cat only came and sniffed her once and left her alone. With Makenzie, the cat would sit next to the bassinet and hiss at anyone other than myself that got too close. I don't see any harm, but I would be careful in the beginning, until you know how the cat will react.
Great advice! And the protective hiss is adorable and hilarious to me.

Handcrafted premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon defined by four fundamental elements, also called the 4 W's – wheat, water, wood and wax. The founder of Maker's Mark had the idea to replace rye with a type of winter wheat in order to escape the spiciness naturally coming from the rye and to highlight the vanilla and caramel flavours. As for the aging, the time is given as a range from 5.75 to 7 years. Another essential step for keeping Maker's Mark flavour consistent is by rotating the barrels through different levels of the warehouse as the temperature throughout the year fluctuates. The final touch to its distinctiveness is its most recognizable visual feature, i.e. the red wax at the top. Since the beginning of Maker's Mark, it is done by people, not machines, and therefore each bottle is unique in a way.
"What separates this bourbon from the rest is the softness and smoothness of its rich oak, vanilla and raisiny-like flavours."
Jane MacQuitty, The London Times

SNB Set to Stay Atop Negative Rate League Table: ChartBy
The Swiss National Bank will probably remain the major central bank with the most severe negative interest rate when it announces the outcome of its quarterly monetary policy assessment at 9:30 a.m. in Zurich on Thursday. It is expect to leave its deposit rate a record low of minus 0.75 percent, according to economists in a Bloomberg survey. The central bank will probably also reiterate that it's prepared to intervene in foreign-exchange markets to stabilize the currency, having most recently said it did so to counter Brexit-induced appreciation pressure on the franc.

Probationary period is a rather difficult time for a new employee of the company. Despite the fact that the person has passed the job interview successfully, each newcomer faces complicated tasks. During this short period it is necessary not only to show his/her best qualities, but also to assess the organization, its leaders and the prospects for further career growth.
The Nigerian Labour Act does not provide for a probationary period. However, the Act provides the employer to give to the worker a statement detailing terms and conditions of the agreement within three months after the beginning of the employment.
Show your professional skills
Be prepared that the company may establish quite demanding working conditions. In such a way, the management will try to understand how many assignments a new employee can perform and how he/she behaves in a stressful situation. It is important for the employee not to get lost and show the most excellent professional qualities and skills. The best variant is to demonstrate high working capacity and readiness to perform complex tasks.
Sometimes, however, the employer chooses a completely different type of checking – the complete absence of duties and responsibilities. In this case, do not relax, but try to take the initiative from the first working day.
Ask questions
Do not hesitate to ask questions. For a beginner it is acceptable to ask about all the nuances of the work in the first half of the probationary period. Such actions will help to understand whether you are performing your duties properly, which failures are to be rectified and how to organize your workday. The employer will be able to evaluate your interest and desire to learn and develop.
Try to join the team
The first working day is a huge stress which must be overcome with dignity. It is important not be mistaken and to make a good impression, which will help to feel comfortable among colleagues in the future. In order to enter into the team properly, try to follow a few simple rules:
- Observe the behaviour of workers and events that are happening around you. Due to this information you can decide how to behave and will be able to select a few people to whom you can consult in case of difficult situations.
- Practically any team divides into groups every of which has its own opinion and certain views. Do not rush to join a coalition immediately, even if one of the employees shows friendliness and tries to help in all affairs. It's better to talk and learn more about people. Do not make a bad opinion about yourself, because workers can decide what you are an easily influenced person.
- Introduce yourself. As a rule, people are always interested in the personal information of a new employee, so unobtrusively share some facts from your life (such as previous jobs, marital status etc.). This will help to avoid unnecessary rumours and show that you are ready for communication.
- Be friendly and do not be afraid to ask for help. This is not a situation where modesty may help. Moreover, the collective can decide that your taciturnity is a sign of disrespect and arrogance.
- Do not reject or criticize the habits of society. For example, if employees are going to congratulate their colleague on his/her birthday, do not stay away and offer your help. Workers will appreciate it and you will become the part of a team insensibly.
Follow the rules and regulations
Ask the management to explain your duties in detail. In addition, the company must familiarize you with the duty regulations. Study them carefully to prevent future abuses or do not get into an absurd situation. If a colleague asks to do some work, you may agree but warn that you are going to help once because of the availability of free time.
Be responsible
The surest way to spoil the impression about yourself is being late on the first working day. In any case, avoid such situations. Moreover, come 15-20 minutes earlier before the scheduled time to calm down and to get used to the workplace.
Pay all your attention to the work. The director will not like if you regularly spend time on the Internet or in social networks. Do your best to ensure that the employer formed a positive opinion about your professional qualities and skills.
The probationary period is a great opportunity to understand not only whether you are a suitable worker for the organization, but also to decide whether you like this place of work. It is a good experience for a new employee that will help understand if he/she is able to cope with problems and mistakes and what personal qualities are to be developed to achieve success in a career.
Pay close attention to the execution of documents and require formal employment. Read the internal regulations and documents where the conditions for receiving awards, bonuses or fine are defined. The contract must occlude such clauses: date of employment, duration of the probationary period, the level of wages, obligations of the parties, schedule, working hours and rest, other indications according to the company.
Remember that the probationary period is to be paid and the requirement to perform the work free of charge is a possible sign of a scammer or dishonest employer. Avoid such organizations if you respect and value your time.

Bush, Gore win most endorsements
By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY
Sen. Spencer Abraham, R-Mich., has served several years with Sen. John McCain on the Senate Commerce Committee. But Abraham isn't endorsing McCain, the committee chairman, for president in Tuesday's Michigan primary.
Abraham, like 213 other members of Congress, is backing Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who has never worked on Capitol Hill. McCain, a veteran of 17 years in the House and Senate, has just 12 supporters there, five of them from his home state of Arizona, which also holds a primary Tuesday.
The significance of this huge disparity in congressional endorsements is debatable. Endorsements alone don't win votes and can even work against candidates who campaign as outsiders against ''the establishment.'' However, they can give candidates legitimacy and organizational support, and their absence can raise questions about why more people don't like a particular candidate.
''If you don't have (endorsements), it says something about you. But if you do, it's no guarantee,'' said James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University.
Bush said his supporters in Congress affirm his leadership skills. ''They took a look at the three of us and decided that I ought to be the leader,'' he said during last week's debate in South Carolina with McCain and Alan Keyes. Abraham praises Bush for ''inclusive conservatism,'' saying the governor ''is a unique leader who will bring people from different backgrounds together.''
McCain, who has defied Senate GOP leaders on campaign finance reform and tobacco control, said he doesn't win ''Miss Congeniality'' because he shakes things up. ''I've taken on the iron triangle - special interests, money and legislation - which we've been gridlocked by in Washington, D.C.,'' he said during the debate.
In South Carolina's GOP primary, Bush won with the backing of legendary Sen. Strom Thurmond, 97, who has long served with McCain on the Armed Services Committee. McCain, meanwhile, had support from Rep. Lindsey Graham, 44, a folksy maverick who helped prosecute President Clinton at last year's impeachment trial.
McCain, who is cultivating his outsider image to woo voters tired of the status quo, almost seems to relish disrespecting his colleagues. Last year, on the Senate floor, he accused them of being corrupted by special-interest money. And last week, he criticized pork-barrel spending by citing two pet projects of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss.
''It's a style matter,'' said Thomas Mann, a Congress expert at the Brookings Institution, explaining why colleagues dislike McCain. ''He's really an in-your-face guy. He upbraids people publicly.''
On the Democratic side of the presidential contest, both Vice President Al Gore and former senator Bill Bradley served in Congress. Gore has 165 supporters there; Bradley has 11.
Bradley was a loner in the Senate who tried to portray himself as sort of a ''philosopher king,'' above the hurly-burly of politics, Mann said. Not surprisingly, the lawmakers backing Bradley, like those behind McCain, also tend to be mavericks.
Endorsements can be especially important for Democrats in a tight race. Unlike with Republicans, all Democratic members of Congress are superdelegates with votes at the party's nominating convention.
Some lawmakers follow up their endorsements with campaigning. Gore spokesman Chris Lehane attributes part of Gore's success in the Iowa caucuses to help from Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa and in the New Hampshire primary to senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry of neighboring Massachusetts.
Bush and Gore have more eagerly sought endorsements, announcing some in statewide blocks. Many lawmakers backed them early because they were the front-runners, and politicians like to pick winners.
With McCain making a stronger-than-expected challenge for the GOP nomination, some Bush supporters are rethinking. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who switched his allegiance this week to McCain, said he was bothered by Bush's visit to Bob Jones University in South Carolina, which King called ''an anti-Catholic institution.''
Bush denied any bias against Catholics, adding, ''I don't think Peter King's endorsement is going to give (McCain) much of a boost in Michigan.''

MINNEAPOLIS -- A few thoughts on the Carolina Panthers' 35-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings:
What it means: This means the Panthers and quarterback Cam Newton are really good at taking advantage of bad defenses (first beating the Giants 38-0, and now beating the No. 30 Vikings). It also means the Panthers (2-3) have a chance to improve to .500 next week, something they haven't been after six games in more than four seasons. It may even mean that coach Ron Rivera is right when he says this team is close to playing winning football. The key? Can Carolina do it consistently? Stay tuned.
Stock watch: Newton talked about needing to be more consistent. On Sunday, he put action behind his words to the tune of 20-for-26 for 242 yards and three touchdowns and a career-best passer rating of 143.4. His previous best was 142.4 in 2011 against Tampa Bay. Newton started fast, going 10-for-14 for 85 yards and two touchdowns. But more impressive was how he started the second half, where he had been inconsistent in Carolina's three losses. He was 8-for-9 for 134 yards and a touchdown (155.6 rating).
Stock watch II: Linebacker Thomas Davis had one sack in the first four games. He had two on Sunday.
Riverboat gambler: Rivera took a lot of heat when he didn't gamble on fourth-and-1 from the Buffalo 20 in Week 2. He's been fearless since, going for it five times and converting on three of them. Going for it was key in giving the Panthers a 7-0 lead on their first drive Sunday. They converted twice, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith.
No relief for A.P.: It was a heartbreaking week off the field for Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson, whose 2-year-old son died Friday. On Sunday, Carolina's defense held Petersonto 28 yards on seven carries in the first half. He broke a 31-yarder in the third quarter, but otherwise was kept in check.
Stewart watch: Running back Jonathan Stewart is eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list after this game, and by coincidence the Panthers haven't put guard Amini Silatolu (ACL) on injured reserve yet. Don't be surprised if Stewart takes that spot this week.
What's next: The Panthers return home after consecutive road games to face the St. Louis Rams. Carolina leads the series 11-8 and has won four of the past five times the teams have met.

I had very bad cystic acne in high school. I went to the dermatologist at 19 and was denied accutane. With the power of prayer and my faith in God, I woke up this year and my acne completely stopped. I'm left with scars. I just had my first procedure done on Aug 1. Waiting & hoping for some results
Microneedling for Acne Scars
5 days post treatment
So far the treatment has really helped with my skin texture. I really hope the results are permanent and not temporary. Both my temple still have dented scars which I'm thinking about getting a subcison and fillers done soon. But overall I would say that it helps with texture more than scars.
2nd treatment
I had my 2nd session this morning. I am pretty upset and not satisfy with it. I asked the PA if we will be doing the same settings and passes again. And her response was "I tried to go as deep as I can". Like ok what the hell is that suppose to mean? I knew this was going to be a poor session after asking her that. I felt like it was rush and my temple and forehead was hit wayyy less aggressively than before. And my temple is where I scar the most. My previous treatment was so good. This treatment work very well on me and my skin respond very well. But I'm assuming her intention was to go less aggressive. So the results I get this time will just be slightly better than the first treatment. So I can keep on coming back. I've been told my scars will respond very well to laser. And I went with microneedling as a 2nd option due to my type of skin. It's unfortunate, but I will not be going back for my 3rd treatments with them. I'm so glad I didn't buy a package of 4. Or else I would've been stuck. I will post up my post treatment update.

German parliament drops US telecom firm Verizon over links to NSA spying
Move prompted by Verizon's need to let NSA see data on phone calls and e-mails
Related topics
Germany's parliament has terminated the services of US telecoms giant Verizon.
The move came a day after the Interior Ministry said government agencies that used Verizon would "migrate" to Deutsche Telekom, an all-German company, by late next year because New York-based Verizon must share its call logs with a US spy agency.
But the parliament cannot wait that long.
Petra Pau, a deputy speaker of the Bundestag, said it would pay its phone and web bills to a German subsidiary of Verizon, one of three providers it uses, until the end of the year, but make no more use of the access in that time.
Germany is still smarting at revelations, based on documents from US whistle-blower Edward Snowden, that Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone was monitored for years by the National Security Agency.
Washington later brushed off German demands for a mutual no-spying deal.
Offering new details of why the German government is ending its use of Verizon services, an Interior Ministry spokesman, Tobias Plate, said: "We wanted to get back more technological sovereignty and give this to a German enterprise."
He said Verizon had not provided services to the major Berlin ministries, which traditionally use Deutsche Telekom services. There are also low-level federal offices all over Germany.
Verizon is required under US court orders to let the NSA see metadata on phone calls and e-mails through its network.
Plate said there was no concrete evidence Verizon had let the NSA bug German official traffic, but Germany could not use a service that had a relationship with a foreign intelligence agency.
Washington sent a former White House aide, John Podesta, to a US-German "cyber dialogue" on Friday in Berlin, where German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier slammed such abuses.
Steinmeier said the more important the internet became, the more necessary it was that governments and giant companies played fair. "Data is power. And power must be restrained by rules," he said. "I believe trust can only be recovered if we abide credibly by rules."
Podesta, a former national security adviser, insisted Washington did not spy on "ordinary" people who posed no threat to the United States.

Can a baby sleep too much
I don't think that a baby can sleep too much. I think that as long as your baby is eating, growing, and meeting developmental milestones then there is nothing wrong with the baby wanting to sleep a lot. I have four children and two of my children slept a lot more as babies then the other two. I think just some kids need it more than others. A lot of growth a brain development happen during sleep too so sleep is important. I also notice my kids slept a lot more during growth spurts.

At Wednesday night's ESPY awards, the Cubs won the Best Moment award for their victory in the 2016 World Series — and the most bizarre bit.
It involved Bill Murray accepting the award on stage that ended a 108-year championship drought.
Wearing a red party hat on top of a backward Cubs cap, Murray cracked, "One hundred eight years of waiting is hardly a moment. This is the culmination of 108 years of momentum by momentous men."
The actor and comic plucked a bottle of champagne out of a mop bucket being pushed by retired Cubs catcher David Ross disguised as a janitor.

|Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island
Mojo is the pet hunting pig of Snakebite Scruggs.
Physical appearance
Mojo has red pupils, light brown skin, long tusks, and a darker brown coat fur on his back.
Mojo is rough on tourists, just like his master, and will be vicious when ordered to hunt them down when they interfere one too many times. He is also apparently smarter than any dog.
Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island
After Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers were saved from alligators by Snakebite and boarded his boat, appeared, growling at Scooby. Snakebite introduced him and said he was a lot better than any "hound dog" because he could sniff a catfish a mile away. Mojo then sniffed for Big Mona, an elusive catfish around the bayou of Moonscar Island. As if right on cue, Big Mona popped up, squirting water at Mojo, but got Scooby instead. Snakebite teased Scooby that Mojo was also smarter than any dog, too, with Mojo grinning evilly at Scooby.
Later, while on Moonscar Island, Scooby was chasing some of Simone Lenoir's cats, falling into the same river Big Mona was in, frightening it away. Snakebite saw this and spitefully sent Mojo after him. Scooby made a quick dash, passing through Shaggy, who asked him if he was afraid of a few cats. But Scooby wasn't running from cats, he was running from "Rojo". At first, Shaggy didn't understand, until he turned around and saw Mojo, who wasn't going to stop for anybody. So Shaggy joined Scooby in his made dash, until they fell into a huge hole. When Mojo made it to the hole, he just kicked dirt down on them and left.
As the gang prepared to leave the island, Scooby tried to catch up to their boat (after picking peppers), but his leg got stuck on one of the dock's wooden poles as he caught the side of the boat. At the same moment, close by, Snakebite and Mojo were fishing for Big Mona. Scooby pulled himself so hard to get free, he flew through the air and knocked into Big Mona's net, just as Snakebite caught it. It jumped right back into the river, with Snakebite growling, "Darn tourists!"

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa
"I sat on my couch, put the GS Mini in my lap, and experienced the strangest feeling: total comfort. ...sound like a full-size guitar. However lightly or hard I strummed the guitar, it matched my effort with equal volume" - Nicole Solis, Acoustic Guitar
The Taylor GS Mini has amassed an enormous fan base of happy owners, and the demand continues to grow. There's something undeniably inviting about the Mini's scaled-down size, yet a single strum reveals the impressive voice of a full-size guitar. That mix of portability and musicality has proven to be a winning combination that fits into so many scenarios in life, from the couch to the campfire to the concert hall, as we like to say. It's not too big, it's not too precious, and it's not too expensive, and that broad-based accessibility has given it a resounding universal appeal, not to mention a built-in fun factor. The shorter 23-1/2-inch scale length makes forming chords a breeze.
Hawaiian Koa's rich and earthy complexion brings an exotic look to one of Taylor's most popular and portable guitars on this limited run of premium GS Mini models. The all-Koa model features a solid Hawaiian Koa top, layered Koa back and sides, plus Taylor's Expression System 2® pickup, including onboard tone and volume control knobs. The compact Mini's scaled-down design blends ultra-portability with the voice and projection of a full-size guitar, while Taylor's patented NT neck guarantees signature Taylor playability.
GS Mini - A scaled-down GS that's anything but small.
Solid Hawaiian Koa top - A Koa top's visual beauty is instantly inspiring, while its sonic rewards unfold over time, as warm, sweet overtones gradually emerge.
Koa back and side - Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian Koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.
Expression System® 2 pickup - The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor's custom-designed "professional audio"- grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.

My promise is to always give you a great sounding mix, at the best of my ability. With over 10 years of experience, I know what your song needs to come alive.
What do you like most about your job?
Making music is my most sincere passion. Nothing excites me more than recording or mixing a great band or artist, and getting to that final product. Making an idea a reality never gets boring, especially with music.
What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
The biggest misconception, I think for any post-mixer, is we can make any tracks sound amazing. When you first record your tracks you set a standard of the quality. If tracks are poorly recorded, there is only so much a mixing engineer can do to help that track. Make sure whoever is recording your original tracks knows what they are doing, or your whole project can be perceived as amateur.
What questions do you ask prospective clients?
How was your music recorded, specifically. What is your music trying to say? What sound or style are you trying to achieve?
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Listen to their mixes. If they don't have samples, or samples that you like, don't hire them. Our careers are represented by our work, and this makes it very easy for you. You can't hide behind a bad mix , it is really that simple.
If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
Ua apollo, a laptop with pro tools, my guitar, my blue blueberry and an sm57.
What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
Out of High School I went to train at Arlyn Studios in Austin, TX. For 2 years I learned all my skills is there legendary studio A. After that I worked Freelance for 10 years out of my own home studio, and Spitshine studios is Austin. I have worked with countless bands, and have done post production for television and movies. Now with my own studio, music is my main focus.
How would you describe your style?
My style, just as I have been preaching, is less is more.
Which artist would you like to work with and why?
Because I lean more towards Rock music, Dave Grohl would be ideal for me. Great song writer, guitarist, and exceptional drummer, Dave knows what a song needs to become great.
Can you share one music production tip?
My best piece of advice is the most simple, don't overthink it! I have worked with many great musicians who overthink there songs, and by the end of recording we are working with 50 tracks. At the end of the mix, we remove 50% of them to get the best mix. The sonic spectrum of your song only has so much space, don't waste it with 5 different synth pads or extra percussion when 2 do the trick.
What type of music do you usually work on?
Usually Rock music is what I find myself working on most. Although Country music and hip hop are both close seconds.
What's your strongest skill?
My strongest skill is finding the best tone for each instrument in the mix. Even the best microphones need help when it comes to finding itself in the sweet spot of the mix, and that is where I strive.
What do you bring to a song?
Expertise of what listeners need to feel the true emotion of the track. As music professionals we know the in's and out's of everything technical. Some get lost in this knowledge and forget that we are all here to serve the listener. Bogging down your mix with too many bells and whistles can cloud what your song is really trying to express. I live by this and will bring your track to where it needs to be.
What's your typical work process?
When it comes to mixing, my philosophy is simple, What can I do to serve the song. I start with leveling, usually the first hour of mixing is getting to know the song, and leveling faders. After I have everything where it needs to be, then I start with EQ and compression. Finally, effects such as reverbs and delays that bring the most creative enhancements to the song.
Tell us about your studio setup.
My audio interface is UA Apollo 8p, into ProTools. I work off a MacBook Pro with 8gb of ram. I love mixing in the box with UAD plugins.
What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
I could list hundreds of bands that inspire me, but what the great ones have in common is their ability to make the best decisions to serve the song. Great song writers don't hide behind tricks or gimmicks. The greatest examples of this in my mind are Queens of the Stone age, and Foo Fighters. For years they have released amazing records consistently. As far as producers, Butch Vig and Brian Eno are legendary for their sound and philosophy on great records. More recently I have loved Graham Cochrane's point of view on mixing. He has a very simple, level headed approach to how to mix a song, which is very refreshing.
Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
My most common work is bringing clients to my studio, recording and mixing from beginning to end. Although, mixing is where my true passion lies. Taking a song to the next level with a mix is the most exciting part of production for an engineer, and is where I love to contribute.

Since he first stood in the massive shadow of Barack Obama four years ago, Joe Biden has emerged to be a full partner and a great political asset for the president.
The unequal nature of their relationship at first was a function of Obama's unique standing as a candidate, but as he has fallen to earth, Biden's star has risen. He is becoming an excellent surrogate for the president, taking on some of the essential work of defending the administration and sticking in the shiv when necessary. Biden does the latter with real skill, most of the time. His attack this weekend on Mitt Romney and Republicans as being "a little out of touch" was masterful.
Biden, whose campaign I worked for in the 1980's, is a remarkable political figure. His personal story is masterfully chronicled in the great Richard Ben Cramer book, "What It Takes." Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972 at the age of 29, headed the Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees and ran for president twice.
But what animates him politically is his visceral connection to a middle-class, often ethnic population who, as the cliche goes, work hard and play by the rules. He comes from Scranton, Pa., and from an America where people sweep their stoops, know their neighbors, often serve their country, love their kids, but aren't afraid to smack them. It is an America where the dream is still college, maybe a professional job, Sundays down on the shore and enough in the bank to retire. It is an America that is struggling, disappearing really, in many places in Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan.
It is also a voting population that started abandoning the Democratic Party in 1980 and has rarely come back. This shrinking group is still a crucial swing vote, and while they may not warm to the cerebral Obama or the mega-millionaire elitist Romney, they might just like Joey Biden.

Key Takeaways From Berkshire's Annual Meeting
- An increase in first quarter earnings for 2016 driven by a one time gain from investments.
- Complete divestment from two European re-insurance operations due to reduced yields and increased competitive pressure.
- Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's continued faith in the Sequoia Fund and their disdain for Valeant Pharmaceuticals.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK.A) held it's 2016 annual meeting this past weekend in Omaha, Nebraska. This year's meeting was the first one to be web cast (via Yahoo Finance) and translated into Mandarin. The so called "Woodstock of Capitalism" included an extended question and answer session with Berkshire leaders Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Below are excerpts from the Q&A session and a review of first quarter earnings.
Q1 2016 Earnings
Before diving into Berkshire's first quarter earnings, it's important to note that Berkshire Hathaway is the most diversified company in the world. Berkshire completely owns businesses in retail (See's Candies), consumer goods (Duracell), furniture (Nebraska Furniture Mart), insurance (GIECO and others) as well as planes (Precision Castparts and NetJets), trains (BNSF) and automobiles (Van Tuyl Group - the fifth largest US dealership) and many others. This large diversification protects Berkshire from slowdowns in any particular industry but also makes the company very difficult to analyze.
Versus first quarter 2015:
- Net earnings increased 9% to $5.58 Billion from $5.15 Billion
- Operating and insurance earnings each declined over 9%
- Gains from investments and derivatives nearly doubled to $1.85 Billion
A few key takeaways:
- Insurance earnings decreased due to an increase in claims from hail storms in Texas. Berkshire shareholders voted down an investor resolution that would require the company to disclose the impact climate change would have on its insurance division.
- Railroad earnings decreased due to reduced tonnage from the energy sector. The continued reduction in coal utilization for power generation (partly driven by Berkshire utilities Mid American Energy and NV Energy) will continue to be a strong headwind for Burlington Northern.
- Buffett urged investors to ignore the large investment gain as it was primarily driven by the completion of the Duracell acquisition. Berkshire exchanged it's $4.7 billion of Procter & Gamble (P&G) (NYSE:PG) stock for Duracell. Berkshire's Procter & Gamble shares were attained when P&G acquired Gillette in 2005 where Berkshire was a long time investor. Buffett stated the total cost of Berkshire's P&G investment was only $336 million.
European Re-Investment Divestment
One of the first questions asked to Buffett and Munger regarded Berkshire's divestment from Munich Re and Swiss Re; two large European re-insurance firms. Berkshire acquired its stake in Munich Re in 2010 and began divesting in September 2015. Berkshire reduced its Swiss Re position in September as well after holding that stock for nearly 7 years. What caused Berkshire to exit two large re-insurance operators?
Buffett stated the re-insurance business was less attractive in a world with zero or negative interest rates. Investments returns on the float will be more restricted due to lower capital cushions caused by lower rates. Buffett's second reason for exiting the business was due to increased capacity in the re-insurance market. Many investment managers have established offshore re-insurance operations to avoid taxes. Buffett noted that a re-insurance is easy to create and only requires a handful of employees to manage. Supply in re-insurance has gone but demand has not. This competitive environment is great for customers but not great for business owners.
Buffett and Munger on Valeant
One of the liveliest exchanges of the meeting occurred when Buffett was asked if he stood by his repeated endorsements of the Sequoia Fund even after the fund had taken an outsize position in Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:VRX). Buffett's partner, Charlie Munger, has repeatedly stated that Valeant is deeply immoral. To understand the importance of this question, it's useful to know the history Buffett has with Sequoia.
Prior to acquiring and running Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett was a hedge fund manager in Omaha, Nebraska. On May 29, 1969, Buffett decided to liquidate the partnership and advised many of clients to invest their money with Bill Ruane; a fellow Ben Graham disciple who had launched his own fund, the Sequoia Fund, in 1970. Ruane operated the Sequoia Fund continuously until shortly prior to his death in 2005. Buffett noted that during Ruane's nearly 35 years at the helm, Sequoia easily outperformed the S&P 500.
Two years ago, over the objection of numerous board members, a manager at Sequoia purchased a large stake in Valeant and continued to increase it even after problems began to manifest. Buffett noted that the fund manager is no longer at Sequoia and more sensible analysts have taken control of the fund. Buffett believes Sequoia's new management is way better than the average firm. Buffett and Munger both recommend Sequoia to friends and family.
What did Buffett and Munger have to say about Valeant?
Here Buffett simply stated that Valeant's business model was deeply flawed and stated that Berkshire passed on investing in the company on numerous occasions. Buffett further elaborated that all the years of experience he and Munger have, enable them to recognize patterns in business. Buffett and Munger noticed that Valeant fit the patterns where a business seemed great in the short run but would eventually turn bad. Munger followed by stating Valeant is a sewer. Buffett and Munger stand by their praise of Sequoia and their disdain for Valeant.
Warren Buffett in undoubtedly the best investor to have ever lived. Similar to how investors dissect his annual letters for insights, investors should also pay attention to this annual meeting. Since 2016 was the first meeting that was web cast, investors can watch a replay here.

Collecting usage statistics – OpenStack Cloud
Recommended by 0 users
OpenStack Object Storage can report on usage metrics by using the swift-recon middleware added to our object -server configuration. By using a tool, also named swift-recon, we can then query these collected metrics.
Getting started
Log in to an OpenStack Object Storage node as well as the proxy server.
How to achieve it…
To collect usage statistics from our OpenStack Object Storage cluster, carry out the following steps:
- We first need to modify our /etc/swift/object-server.conf configuration file to include the swift-recon middleware, so that it looks similar to the following:
bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
workers = 2
pipeline = recon object-server
use = egg:swift#object
use = egg:swift#recon
recon_cache_path = /var/cache/swift
- Once this is in place, we simply restart our object-server service, using swift-init, as follows:
swift-init object-server restart
Now that the command is running, we can use the swift-recon tool on the proxy server to get usage statistics, as follows:
Disk usage
swift-recon -d
This will report on disk usage in our cluster.
swift-recon -d -z5
This will report on disk usage in zone 5.
Load average
swift-recon -l
This will report on, the load average in our cluster.
swift-recon -l -z5
This will report on load average of the nodes in zone 5.
Quarantined statistics
swift-recon -q
This will report on any quarantined containers, objects, and accounts in the cluster.
swift-recon -q -z5
This will report on this information just for zone 5.
Check for unmounted devices
swift-recon -u
This will check for any unmounted drives in our cluster.
swift-recon -z5 -u
This will do the same just for zone 5.
Check replication metrics
swift-recon -r
This will report on the replication status within our cluster.
swift-recon -r -z5
This will just perform this for nodes in zone 5.
We can perform all these actions with a single command to get all telemetry data back about our cluster, as follows:
swift-recon --all
We can just get this information for nodes within zone 5 by adding -z5 at the end, as follows:
swift-recon --all -z5
How it works…
To enable usage statistics within an OpenStack Object Storage, we add in the swift-recon middleware, so metrics are collected. We add this to the object server by adding the following lines to /etc/swift/object-server.conf, on each of our storage nodes:
pipeline = recon object-server
use = egg:swift#recon
recon_cache_path = /var/cache/swift
With this in place and our object servers restarted, we can query this telemetry data by using the swift-recon tool. We can collect the statistics from the cluster as a whole, or from specific zones with the -z parameter.
Note that we can also collect all or multiple statistics by specifying the –all flag or appending multiple flags to the command line. For example, to collect a load average and replication statistics from our nodes in zone 5, we would execute the following command:
swift-recon -r -l -z5

Currencies trading and euro. The price of EUR/USD is consolidated within the range 1,0985-1,1050 after fell in previous days. The growth of price is limited by the inclined line of resistance in the near future, overcoming of which will lead to further increase of price to 1.1200. A more likely scenario is a continuation of the negative dynamics and overcoming of support at 1.0985, will be the cause to reach the target levels at 1.0800 and 1.0700. Our medium-term outlook remains negative.
Nearest resistance levels: 1.1050, 1.1200, 1.1350, 1,1400, 1.1450, 1.1500, 1.1750
Nearest support levels: 1.0985, 1.0900, 1.0800, 1.0700, 1.0550
Currencies trading and British pound. The price of GBP/USD after the recent correction and consolidation beyond the local descending channel has broken the local minimum at 1.4080 and could reach the psychologically important level of 1.4000. Fixing of price below this mark will be the basis for the continuation of negative dynamics with the objectives at 1.3860 and 1.3600. We do not exclude correction to 1.4250 and 1.4365 in the near future, but the current negative trend is likely to continue.
Nearest resistance levels: 1.4000, 1.4080, 1.4365, 1.4400, 1.4500, 1.4640, 1.4700, 1.4800
Nearest support levels: 1.3860, 1.3600, 1,3500
Currencies trading and Japanese yen. The price of USD/JPY continues to decrease gradually along the inclined support line. In the near future quotations may reach the local lows around 1.1100. In case of resumption of growth, a signal for opening long positions will be fixing of price above the level of 113.00. In this case, the stop should be set below 111.00 and target levels will be 117.00, 118.80 and 120.20. Our medium-term outlook remains positive.
Nearest resistance levels: 113.00, 113.60, 114.70, 116.00, 118.80, 120.20, 121.50, 122.30
Nearest support levels: 111.00, 110.00
Currencies trading and Australian dollar. The price of AUD/USD after reaching the resistance level at 0.7240, started to correct downwards and reached the mark 0.7180. In the near future a drop in prices may continue until the inclined support line. Its breaking through and fixation below 0.7050 will become a sell signal with the objectives at 0,6800-0,6840. A breaking of resistance at 0.7240, will lead to further growth of quotations to 0.7350. Our medium-term outlook remains negative.
Nearest resistance levels: 0,7240, 0.7350, 0.7400, 0.7500
Nearest support levels: 0.7180, 0.7000, 0.6840, 0.6800, 0.6750, 0.6600
