Kennedy aims for sixth Brier
Southpaw second for Kevin Martin's rink slides into provincials next week in Lacombe
Saturday, Feb 01, 2014 06:00 am
With the Roar of the Rings in the rearview mirror, Marc Kennedy is looking ahead to the Boston Pizza Cup and a return trip to the Brier.
�There is some extra motivation to finish this year off really strong. We�re going to give it a real go at provincials and see if we can win another one,� said the southpaw second from St. Albert with the Kevin Martin rink.
Provincials in Lacombe start Wednesday, the same day as Kennedy�s 32nd birthday.
�It will be the first big event for us since probably the trials,� Kennedy said of the Olympic qualifier in early December at Winnipeg. �We�re pretty refreshed after the trials. We all had a nice month-long break. I don�t think any one of us were on the ice for quite a while (except for the all-star skins game Jan. 11 to 14 in Banff). We�ve got back on the ice last week and we�ve been throwing just about every day. Everyone is pretty excited.�
The winner advances to the Brier in March at Kamloops.
�It would mean a lot to get back there again. I think there is some unfinished business for us. We did not play well last year at the Brier (at Rexall Place) and to not make the playoffs was quite disappointing,� Kennedy said of the fifth-place 7-4 showing after a 1-4 start for Martin, with John Morris at third and Ben Hebert at lead.
Morris would later part ways with the 2010 Olympic gold medallists after seven years of success, including two Brier championships and gold at worlds in 2008, so Dave Nedohin was recruited to fill the void.
With the last-rock shooter for the Ferbey Four in the lineup, Martin was 37-10 in seven World Curling Tour events leading up to the trials, where the Saville Community Sports Centre affiliate finished 6-2 as the semifinalist.
�The trials are a real up-and-down experience. You go through every emotion you can imagine,� Kennedy said. �Getting as close as we did and losing can be quite disappointing so you need that time to, I guess, refresh and just come to terms with everything and realize that the four years you�ve been working at (for an Olympic berth) is done and it�s time to move on.�
Martin rattled off five straight wins in the round robin before losing to Brad Jacobs of Northern Ontario 5-4 as the 2013 Brier champion counted two in 10 with the hammer.
Martin�s last game before the playoffs was the 7-6 win against Morris, with Jim Cotter throwing last rocks for the Vernon/Kamloops rink, to finish 6-1 for second place.
Morris placed third at 4-3 and in the semifinal beat Martin 7-5, with key deuces in six to tie at three, eight to lead 5-4 and 10 for the win.
In the final Jacobs beat Morris 7-4 to represent Canada at the Sochi Winter Games.
�It was pretty exciting that we put ourselves in a chance to win, which I wasn�t sure that we were even going to get there, so to get that close and lose is tough but Brad Jacobs� team played great and Johnny Mo�s team played great in the semis,� said Kennedy, who curled a game-high 94 per cent in the semifinal.
�If you�re going to get that close to losing you open yourself up for big disappointment and unfortunately we were disappointed but all in all it was a great week. That�s the best I�ve seen Kevin play in a long time. We really came together as a team and played great, it was just one or two shots and that was it.�
Martin�s future
Word surfaced after the trials that Martin might step away from the competitive curling grind.
�Kevin keeps things pretty close to the chest. He hasn�t made a full decision yet and that�s definitely lingering in the background,� said Kennedy.
The St. Albert Curling Club�s wall of fame inductee in 2011 believes the uncertainty surrounding Martin�s future will not be a distraction as the rink enters the second half of the WCT season, culminating with the Players� Championship in April at Summerside, P.E.I.
�It can be a real positive thing, knowing that potentially it�s our last playdown run together as a team and that this might be our last four, five events. It�s a little extra motivation to try and go out on a really high note, play our best, really support each other, stay positive and if it is the end for the team that it goes out on the highest note possible,� Kennedy said of the No. 2 rink on the WCT�s money list at $59,400 and No. 7 in the WCT�s Order of Merit rankings.
So, would Kennedy jump at the chance to skip his own rink if Martin was to move on?
�I�ve always been attracted to the second and third positions. I can see myself one day maybe moving up to play third,� said the Brier first team all-star second in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 and second-team all-star selection in 2013. �But I love sweeping too much. I love being on this end where you get to talk with your teammates and you�re not all by yourself. It takes a pretty special person with a unique personality these days to skip at a top level.�
Provincial draw
At provincials Martin, the No. 1 seed in the 12-team draw, will play Matt Blandford (No. 8) or Charley Thomas (No. 9) in the A quarter-finals. Kevin Koe (No. 2), the 2010 Brier and world champion and 2012 Brier finalist, Jamie King (No. 3) and young gun Brendan Bottcher (No. 4) also have first-round byes.
Kennedy, the 2013 Bo Davidiuk Award winner at provincials for sweeping prowess, team support and sportsmanship, knows the Koe foursome will be chomping at the bit to erase last year�s memory of losing twice to Martin at provincials in Leduc, including a riveting 5-4 final decided on Martin�s last shot in the extra end, as well as a 6-5 loss at the trials.
But the Paul Kane High School alumnus is also leery about King�s high-profile St. Albert-based team of Blake MacDonald, Scott Pfeifer and Jeff Erickson. In their inaugural season together King and his men came within a whisker of knocking off Martin in the A semifinals at the 2012 provincials, but lost in an extra end with the hammer.
�They�re tough. I�ve heard they�re practicing more this year,� said Kennedy, who was intrigued by the King team�s 45-minute rock-throwing practices at the St. Albert Curling Club, followed by post-training sessions of drinking red wine in MacDonald�s hot tub.
�Sounds like they�ve got a good thing going. I�ve got to try that.�

HOUSTON - Monday marks the busiest shipping day of the year.
With two weeks left until Christmas, employees at FedEx are working overtime to make sure their customers get all of the gifts underneath the tree.
"It doesn't matter how long it takes," manager Francis Singleton said. "We will work overtime to get items shipped out. Our highest volume areas are Katy and Sugar Land. On average, each driver will head to about 120 homes a day, but in the coming weeks they can have up to 300 stops a day," said Singleton.
Team members are gearing up to process 19 million packages Monday across the country. According to FedEx, that is 200 packages per second.
"It gets real hectic, but I love my job and I love this time of year," said Ken Young, who has been a FedEx driver for 21 years. "They call me Santa Claus! They love to see my truck coming down the street."
Employees will work up until Christmas Eve and will even be on call Christmas Day. An increase in online shopping has directly impacted the shipping industry. According to FedEx, there has been a 10 percent increase since last year.
If you decide to self-wrap your gift and ship it, here is some advice from the experts:
- Make sure your box is a shipping box, not a storage box.
- If your item is fragile, use 4 inches of bubble wrap and make sure the "bubble" side is touching the item.
- If you are wrapping a hollow item, such as a vase or coffee mug, stuff the inside with paper or bubble wrap
- When you're done wrapping, shake the box and make sure nothing jiggles on the inside
If you avoid going to the mall until the last minute, according to FedEx you have until Dec. 22 to ship items through FedEx Express, which will arrive anywhere in the U.S. by Dec. 24.

Seeing the Sound through Roy DeCarava
To me, one of the most incredible qualities of photography is its ability to show you how something sounded or felt through a silent image. And the photographer who can do that reaches his/her viewers in a way that transcends the sense of sight, to a realm where vision becomes the catalyst for so much more.
In our new exhibition, Eyes of a Nation: A Century of American Photography, one of the joys of curating the show was handpicking those special images that not only capture a particular era, but also continue to evoke emotion today. One of those images is Dancers by Roy DeCarava. The image is intentionally printed dark, so you have to really look to see what's happening. Once you're able to focus, you see there are two figures, both men, who are swaying, dancing, on a hard wood floor with an audience on either side watching.
The image was taken in 1956, and DeCarava was a photographer, but also a jazz enthusiast who captured incredible images of some of the most seminal figures in jazz music; John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Art Blakey. To me, this image sounds like the music. It lets your mind wander to fill in the blank of what the next movements will be, of what they might be dancing to. It's one of those magical images that is more than just a photograph. It was also one of the images that DeCarava connected to most. This link to a New York Times story on DeCarava lets us know exactly how he felt about this image and why it was so important to him.

I used to work for Dell and spent a couple months in NC about 6 years ago when they opened a new plant, which has already been closed. The situation was pretty dire there back then, I imagine it's only gotten worse. I can understand their frustration. A HUGE plant goes in so they naturally assume there will be hundreds of jobs because the place is so big.
They probably don't understand what data center is and are behind on technology.
50 Jobs for Americans thousands for the Chinese and other over seas companies. brilliant.
Whah! Gimme gimme gimme!
It's a server farm. Not a cotton farm, you mouth breathers.
"Herp derp, I'm a gone git me a dang ole job in them thur google clouds, paw."
time to get cracking.
What do you expect of Apple? To create jobs in positions they don't need just to create jobs?
Bottom line. Apple wins, locals go eff themselves.
Hmm...no takers?
Oh but wait, they could simply pay U.S. wages...and you better believe the retail price of their products would skyrocket, for good or ill, as the cost of manufacturing an item has direct bearing on what a company charges the consumer for it.
This discussion is a slippery slope and while I would love Apple--and other U.S. companies--to stop outsourcing jobs they could pay Americans to do, I also know I don't want to pay x times more for the same product so Billy Joe in NC can have a $14/hr manufacturing job screwing bits into the iPad 3. I highly doubt when push comes to shove, neither would many of you.
Maybe if Jobs came for a visit....
Come out of your bubble. I know plenty of young adults out there that would take a manufacturing job at Apple for half that wage.
Look at fast food. Do you wonder why they can't get a burger order right? They make $10,000 a year. Not much incentive to care about their job.

Related story: Chino Hills residents raise concerns about possibly of maternity hotel operation
CHINO HILLS - Some 70 people picketed a busy city intersection on Saturday protesting what they say is an illegal Chinese maternity operation.
Brightly colored signs reading "Not in Chino Hills" and "No Birth Tourism" decorated the intersection of Peyton Avenue and Chino Hills Parkway for more than two hours.
It was the first protest by the group Not In Chino Hills, which was organized just two weeks ago.
"Chino Hills is a nice family oriented town. We don't want a maternal hotel that is a business in a residential area," said Rossana Mitchell, one of the group's organizers.
"And there's the moral issue," said Mitchell, a 22-year resident of the city.
"My father came to this country from Peru and left us all (eight children) until he earned enough money to get us visas to come here legally, said Mitchell, who became a U.S. citizen at age 17.
"All of us (children) worked in the system and have done really well. There are three doctors among the siblings, said Mitchell, who is a family law attorney in Chino Hills.
What the picketers say is morally wrong about the "maternity motel" is that children born there have dual citizenship and at age 21 can use that to bring family members in the country.
Calls to the three numbers posted on a fence leading up to the hilltop house, which some call a mansion, resulted in the phone on the other end being hung up.
City officials are dealing with code enforcement issues, but not with the alleged illegal maternity operation, Mayor Art Bennett has said.
Karol Arredondo, one of the protesters and a 16-year resident of Chino Hills, said that she has noticed many pregnant Chinese women walking around an apartment complex down a hill from where the alleged maternity hotel is located.
Every so often, a tour bus comes and takes them to Southern California tourist destinations, such as Disneyland and Venice Beach, she said.
Bennett said that code enforcement investigators found out that rooms in the hilltop house, at 15250 Woodglen Drive, have been rented out as motel rooms to bring in Chinese expectant mothers until they deliver a child.
Substantial fees are charged, he said.
"These woman are coming to the United States under false pretenses...They are finding out about this through a website that instructs them on how to come legally, but that is under false pretenses," said Kelly Good, one of the protesters and a 20-year resident of Chino Hills.
"They are pregnant and their goal is to have a baby here in the United States so that the child can be a United States citizen," Good said.
Action should be taken against "these physicians and the hospitals...that are contracting with this `hotel' to treat these residents and their babies," Good said.
Protester Sandy Hayden said that the hilltop house is producing people who will "infiltrate our country."
The children born there will grow up in China and return to the United States to attend college, taking precious college slots away from U.S citizens, she said.
Michele Hawthorne said sewage from a leaky septic tank at the hilltop house slid down onto her property and was probably tracked in her house before realizing what it was.
John Welch, a 25-plus-year Chino Hills resident, said last night a truck to siphon out sludge from the "hotel" septic tank got stuck on the makeshift muddy road which is above his house.
"It had to be towed out," he said.

Incredible, life-like detail down to the feathery leaves and wings. The curve of the sweet little lips and precious toes will astound you - The detail in this mold is extraordinary! This mold is so flexible, your figure will come out with every curve in shape. The mold is so realistic, and best of all, nothing sticks to it!! This mold is very soft and flexible and can easily go from as high as 450 degrees to the freezer without affecting the mold! Kathy's Tip: Be sure to make your gumpaste ahead of time (by adding Tylose Powder to your Fondant), wrap it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes so it can firm up slightly. Then place it into the mold, and it will come out much more easily, without stretching. Letting it sit in the mold for just a minute will help it come out even easier. Add a sparkle to the fairy by sprinking some disco dust on it, and she will look ready to fly off to make some magic!

Cynthia: When are the Europeans going to pull their heads out of their #$%$ and demand a stop to the insane policies that have allowed their country and citizens to occupy a war zone as unarmed prey for these Evil Islamists ? How many more must die before they add two and two together and face the FACT that these acts are the result of allowing Islam a foothold. Welcoming jihadis with education, new identities, money, shelter etc is not the solution. The latest idea by Denmark and Sweden to hug a jihadists to show them love and compassion is so insanely ridiculous that I have to hope it is fake news. Wake the heck up people , your in a war zone. You have allowed Merkle and other traitors to open the floodgates of hell on you. They continue to vote the leftists in because of the social welfare promised. Yet the reality is all that welfare is going to their enemy invaders while the citizens pick up the tab. I have never witnessed a more idiotic ,suicidal , brain dead populace than what is presently occupying Europe.

As you've noticed, the lack of work by me (vacation), lack of news around the Rangers, and lack of progress in the CBA (cough, cough) negotiations have resulted in a lack of new posts.
So here's one, the easy way. Nothing to say, nothing to add, nothing to do … well, something to do, but nothing that would interest anybody here.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's tax authority approved a deal with Goldman Sachs partly because the U.S. bank was threatening to pull out of a new tax code, which would have embarrassed the government, a court heard on Thursday.
Activist group UK Uncut Legal Action has asked the High Court to declare that the 2010 settlement between Goldman and the tax authority (HMRC), worth up to 20 million pounds ($30 million) to the U.S. bank, was unlawful.
"We do say that this was a sweetheart deal which let Goldman Sachs off interest in circumstances which involved a package deal," Ingrid Simler, a lawyer for the group, told the court, adding that the case caused "grave public disquiet".
The action stems from public anger in Britain about how firms ranging from Vodafone to Starbucks succeed in paying less tax than many ordinary people hit by a stagnating economy and government spending cuts.
The risk to Goldman Sachs is further damage to its image in Britain after a public outcry in January caused it to scrap plans to delay paying bankers' bonuses to make the most of an income tax cut for high earners.
In financial terms, the disputed $30 million is a drop in the ocean for a bank that paid its employees $12.9 billion in compensation and benefits last year.
The case concerns a deal agreed orally by then HMRC boss Dave Hartnett and Goldman Sachs executives in November 2010 to end a long-running dispute over a now-banned tax avoidance scheme involving the payment of bonuses to UK staff via an offshore tax haven.
Other banks that had been using the scheme settled with HMRC in 2005, but Goldman Sachs resisted paying what HMRC said it owed for a further five years.
Simler told the court that Hartnett wrongly agreed that Goldman Sachs should pay the principal it owed but not the interest that had accrued during those five years, even though there was no reason for making that concession.
The tax authority's High Risk Corporate Programme Board rejected the deal, infuriating Goldman Sachs which "went off the deep end", according to an email from Hartnett read out in court.
The bank threatened to withdraw from a new code of practice aimed at reducing tax avoidance by banks which had been announced by finance minister George Osborne the previous week, according to Hartnett's written witness statement to the court.
"I was concerned that withdrawal would have embarrassed the Chancellor," Hartnett said in the statement.
In an internal email dated December 7, 2010, Hartnett cited the risk of "major embarrassment" to himself, HMRC and Osborne. He eventually approved the deal despite board opposition.
"This case shows what is going on behind closed doors and the headline-grabbing announcements - tax avoidance as usual, sweetheart deals to avoid red faces of ministers and giving in to threats from big business," UK Uncut Legal Action said in a news release.
The Treasury and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Hartnett's witness statement said the overall settlement "was a very good one for HMRC and for taxpayers generally".
"We feared that re-opening the settlement may have had a significant financial cost to HMRC," he wrote, saying that Goldman had made it clear it considered the November oral agreement binding and would fight any attempt to go back on it.
James Eadie, a lawyer representing HMRC, told the court that fear of embarrassment had been "at the bottom of the scale" of the factors taken into consideration in approving the deal.
Eadie also pointed to a report by the National Audit Office published in June last year, which found that five settlements between HMRC and big firms, including the Goldman deal, were reasonable because HMRC may have received less if it had litigated and lost.
Judge Andrew Nicol reserved his judgment to a later date.

I had to make a decision today. Take care of some personal stuff I'd been neglecting before going to Washington tomorrow … or go to the practice facility to hear all the cliches about winning one game, taking a shift at a time, etc.
And after sifting through some of the stuff, I made the right call by not going.
Jesse Spector had John Tortorella's press conference video on his site. Jesse also mentioned that he asked a question comparing this must-win to the final regular-season game against the Devils and was told it was a "stupid question."
I must say, also, that despite a couple of real jackwagons who have no perspective and no courage, and who decided to chime in after Game 86, you guys were pretty cool in the earlier thread. Very hurt, very disappointed, some anger, etc. But not much of the finger-pointing, fire-this-guy, trade-that-guy stuff. In fact, some really get the big picture with this club.
And I'll repeat what I said in the wee hours of the morning … I will be the least-surprised person on here if there's a Game 6 Monday night.
Here is my game story from The Journal News and LoHud.com today.

From the classroom to Mars: Loving science and math
When the Mars rover Curiosity landed on the Red Planet weeks ago, many Americans rekindled their love affair with space exploration. The small rover's ability to touch the hearts of millions of Americans from light-years away begs the question: Is science cool again? For those at JPL, NASA, and many students across the country, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) never stopped being cool.

Six months into retirement I knew the piano thing wasn't working out.
"Chopsticks" was still a stretch.
At the rate I was learning to read music, and figure out chords and scales, I'd be lucky to get a gig playing birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese by the time I hit 80.
Forget that cool, red tuck-and-roll lounge I had envisioned in my delusional dreams.
So, after hanging it up last year as a local columnist for 30 years at the Los Angeles Daily News, I've come back to the old, corner newsstand for a cup of coffee.
Don't get me wrong. Retirement's great "" about five days a week. It's those other two days that had me reaching for an itch I couldn't quite scratch.
My old bosses threw me a curve when they took pity on me and invited me back to do one column a week. They wanted it for all nine papers in the Los Angeles News Group, not only the Daily News.
Which means most of you don't have a clue who I am or what kind of column I write. I could provide references, but that would be kind of pathetic at my age.
So I'll just jump in and wing it.
To all the Daily News readers "" hello, again. I missed having coffee and breakfast with you.
To everyone else at our sister papers, give me a shot. I'm told by reliable sources I grow on people.
One longtime reader liked my column so much she lined the bottom of her parakeet cage with it. Every month, like clockwork, she mailed me a picture of her parakeets perched over my smiling face.
But she didn't cancel her subscription. I grew on her. Or her parakeets.
In my book of favorite columns, "Here's to the Winners," I mentioned that the gripe I've heard most about the news media from readers is that there's too many negative stories driving up your blood pressure.
Once in a while, you want to read the kind of stories that kick-start your day with a smile, a laugh and maybe even a few tears because they touch something inside - something good for a change.
They're called human interest stories, a genre that's gotten a bad rap over the years as being soft and boring. Not if you find interesting people and stories to write about.
You know the ones. The kind of stories you read online and forward to a friend, saying take a look at this. Or stories you cut out and mail to relatives living in Arizona, and tell them, by the way, it was 75 degrees here yesterday.
The kind of stories your parents put up on the fridge when you were growing up.
My kind of stories.
I spent 30 years talking to war vets, school teachers, cops, firefighters, nurses, social workers, barbers, bartenders and anybody else in town who could point me in the direction of a good yarn.
I don't write about pampered stars, big egos, celebrity shoplifters, or murderers doing 25 years to life.
As one reader put it, you're going to find " the uncommon common man or woman. Real life. " You're not going to find the Kardashians living here.
There's a good story on every block in your neighborhood. The family down the street that steps out of the shadows and does something incredible that makes you smile and shake your head in awe. Or puts a lump in your throat.
People like the Pawleys , a white couple who opened their hearts and home 25 years ago to an abandoned, 3-day-old, African-American drug addicted baby curled up in withdrawal pain.
The Pawleys gave him a steady dose of love, faith and opportunity for more than two decades.
Last time I saw them the baby born with two strikes on him was standing tall and proud between his adoptive parents -- wearing a graduation robe and holding his degree from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.
Now if that doesn't get to you, call 911 because you don't have a pulse.
Uncommon common people, that's who I'm looking for.
I've met and written about hundreds of them over the years, but I couldn't have done it without the eyes and ears of the community working for me - calling and emailing me tips.
So I'm asking for your help today to get the ball rolling.
Give me a shot.
Tell me a story for the fridge.
The piano thing didn't work out.
Dennis McCarthy's column appears Fridays. You can reach him at email@example.com.

1913 — Princeton, Minnesota
Edward Dexter of Spencer Brook, a Veteran of the Civil War, Died Sunday Evening.
On Sunday evening, August 3, death claimed, at his home in Spencer Brook township, that good citizen and civil war veteran, Edward Dexter. He had reached the age of 75 years 7 months and 17 days, and his death resulted from heart failure. He was apparently in the best of health until a very short time before his death.
Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at the Chapman school house, Spencer Brook, by Rev. E. B. Service of the Princeton Methodist church, and the interment will be in the Nichols cemetery. The Methodist quartet will render musical selections.
Edward Dexter was born in Cataraugas county, New York, on December 14, 1837, and with his parents, moved, at the age of 6 years, to Canada. When 14 years of age he went to Chicago and four years later moved to Waupaca, Wis., where for two years he worked in a printing office. At the age of 22 he was married in Wisconsin to Miss Alice Everson, and ten children were born of the marriage. He moved to Spencer Brook in May, 1893, and continued to reside there, where he was engaged in farming, to the time of his death.
On January 27, 1864, he joined Company B, Fourth regiment of Wisconsin Cavalry Volunteers, and was honorably discharged with the rank of corporal on March 30, 1866. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Edward W. Dexter, Winslow, Wash.: Mrs. John Batten, Waupaca, Wis. Mrs. L. S. Lashua. West Sound, Wash. Mrs. Inez Marion, St. Paul James Dexter, Sebeka, Minn. Mrs. F. W. Caine, Plummer, N. D. Mrs. J. A. Smith, Princeton Mrs. Lawrence Clough and Roy Dexter. Spencer Brook. One daughter, Mrs. Gilbert Stearns of Portland, Ore., died three years ago.
Edward Dexter was one of God's noblemen his word was as good as his bond. In the community in which he lived, and by all who knew him, he was held in the highest esteem, and he could count his friends by the hundred. As a soldier in the civil war he distinguished himself for bravery, for which he was promoted to a non commissioned officer. At the time of his death he was a member of the Ogdensburg, Wis., post of the Grand Army of the Republic.

LONDON (Reuters) - The FTSE 100 matched their biggest one day rise of the year on Monday, recovering some of last week's steep falls, as optimism that U.S. lawmakers will forge a fiscal compromise encouraged traders to buy at the lower prices.
The FTSE 100 index was up 132.07 points, or 2.4 percent, at 5,767.66 by the close.
Leading U.S. lawmakers expressed confidence on Sunday that a deal would be reached to avert the $600 billion 'fiscal cliff' of tax rises and spending cuts which could tip the world's biggest economy into recession.
This followed a late rally on Wall Street on Friday after leaders of the U.S. Senate and House said they would find common ground over their policy differences.
"There was obviously a great deal of worry over what was perceived to be a prolonged debate (over the fiscal cliff), but the statements from Obama and Geithner on Friday helped the markets out," said Zeg Choudhry, head of equities trading at Northland Capital Partners.
"We definitely got oversold. It remains to be seen as to whether or not we will hold a rally. It's a very good rally, 2 percent, and we should get another push again tomorrow, as long as Wall Street holds up."
Monday's rise came after a 1.3 percent drop on Friday took last week's falls to 2.8 percent in total. This was its steepest weekly decline since May, bringing the index hit a three and a half month low and erasing nearly all its gains since ECB President Mario Draghi said he would do "whatever it takes" to save the euro.
On Monday, it closed above 5726, significant from a technical standpoint as it is approximately both the 200 day moving average and a 38.2 percent retracement of the fall from a peak on November 9 to a trough at the end of last week.
The rebound was broad-based, with every sector contributing to the index's rise, although the most economically sensitive stocks such as commodities and banks, led gains. Financials, which include banks, insurers and brokerages, added nearly 40 points to the index.
Barclays was the biggest gainer, adding 6.7 percent, as it received a boost after Goldman Sachs raised its price target for the bank.
Heavyweight HSBC, added 16.5 points to the index, rising 3.8 percent after the bank said it was in talks to sell its $9.3 billion stake in China's Ping An Insurance under a plan to shed non-core parts of its business to boost profitability.
One of only four stocks to lose in the sessions trading, G4S fell 1.1 percent after Credit Suisse downgraded the stock to 'Neutral' from 'Hold'.

DETROIT - Justin Verlander puts his unbeaten record against Baltimore on the line Tuesday, when the Detroit Tigers host the Orioles in the second contest of a three-game set.
Verlander is 8-0 with a 2.93 ERA in 12 career starts vs. the Orioles, including a victory in Baltimore on June 1. The Tigers won Monday's opener behind solid pitching by Max Scherzer, who became the American League's first 10-game winner.
Zach Britton will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday to start for Baltimore in place of Jason Hammel, who will miss his turn due to a stomach virus. Orioles slugger Chris Davis continued his strong season by belting his major league-leading 24th homer for Baltimore's lone run on Monday. Detroit standout Miguel Cabrera hit his 19th homer, a two-run shot that increased his major league-high RBI count to 71.
TV: 7:08 p.m. ET, MASN 2 (Baltimore), FSN (Detroit)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles LH Zach Britton (0-1, 9.00 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Justin Verlander (8-4, 3.41)
Hammel's illness isn't expected to prevent him from missing a second start, so it is likely Britton will be returned to Norfolk in the coming days. This will be his second big-league start of the season following a loss on April 29 in which he gave up six runs and 10 hits in six innings against Seattle. Britton is 2-0 with a 3.75 ERA in two career outings against Detroit.
Verlander gave up three runs and eight hits in seven innings of the recent win over the Orioles, allowing two solo homers by J.J. Hardy. He received a no-decision in his last turn, when he allowed three hits in seven scoreless frames against the Kansas City Royals. Verlander hasn't lost since May 16, when the Texas Rangers rocked him for eight runs and six hits in 2 2/3 innings.
1. Cabrera has 16 homers and 44 RBIs in 43 career games against the Orioles.
2. Baltimore CF Adam Jones is 2-for-24 with eight strikeouts vs. Verlander.
3. Detroit 2B Omar Infante went 4-for-4 in the opener to raise his average to .375 in June.

14 People You'll Meet At The Gym (As Told In GIFs)
Oh, the gym. I'm lucky enough to live in a building with its own gym (which is mercifully never busy because everyone in my building is already in shape or something). But man, for years I went to one really popular gym in Philly and, dang, I saw some things. Gyms are sweaty, smelly microcosms, with their own hilarious manners (everybody gets a turn on the elliptical, dammit!) and personalities. And it seems that whether you're talking the fanciest upscale city gym, or smallest local workout center, there are certain people you'll always find there. After the jump, we run through some of the women we always run into when we're sweating our butts off. (And if you get a chance, check out GQ's hilarious list of the Gym Guys You Really Don't Want To Be, too!)
1. The woman who's trying to do the least amount of exercise possible. She walks or rides the bikes on minimum speed for hours to avoid breaking a sweat.
2. The experienced dancer who takes classes only to ignore the instructor and do as she pleases.
3. The woman who is constantly stretching.
4. The over achiever who does the elliptical before class and lifts weights after.
5. The girl who puts on makeup to go to the gym.
6. The hardcore workout freak who spend most of the day at the gym.
7. The woman who knows every routine perfectly.
8. The woman who's wearing a full face of makeup and coordinating designer workout wear, hair done, and is sort of posing on the Stairmaster. You know, instead of actually using it because she doesn't want to get sweaty.
9. The woman in the locker room who has no body insecurities and will strike up a convo with you completely naked.
10. The woman who has no idea how to use any of the equipment.
11. The woman who uses the community blowdryer to dry her pubes.
12. The really intense woman who is obviously racing the person next to her on the treadmill.
13. The woman who has no idea what she's doing in her jazz aerobics/zumba class, but bless her heart, she's trying.
14. The woman that is so strong half the guys at the gym are afraid of her.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/5/2013 (1559 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It takes most of us a lifetime to learn how to live our lives.
It's only taken Katie Oleson the last three of her 23 years to learn the most important of life's lessons. Katie is the younger daughter of Free Press colleague Tom Oleson, who died a year ago Friday, having waited all 66 years of his own life to teach the lesson to Katie and his other daughter, Jen.
But it would take more than Tom's death to impart it because before their dad died, so did their mother Laurie and their brother Kris. All three within little more than two years.
So how is Katie doing?
Well, how she's coping, in large part, is why she reached out to me in an email last March, a couple of days after the first anniversary of her mother's death. She wants to go into journalism. But there was more to the email than that.
"I am sitting in the Tucson International Airport having been down here for two weeks at a horse show," Katie wrote.
She went on to explain she hadn't been able to compete because a month earlier, while show jumping with her horse in Brandon, she was thrown head-first into the fencing. At that point, she was already coping with the partial paralysis of her face, the result of Bell's palsy that struck after her brother accidentally fell to his death from a third-floor balcony. Her own fall -- the result of not cinching her saddle tight enough -- left her with two skull fractures and short-term memory loss that, like the effects of the Bell's palsy, persist to this day. The paralysis and memory loss is expected to get better. Understandably, it's her long-term memory that haunts her most.
As she wrote in her email from the Tucson airport: "I thought coming down here would be a good opportunity to sort out my life, which feels like its been a whirlwind the last year."
Later, we would meet over breakfast and talk again more recently on the phone, and Katie would open up about her family in ways I hadn't anticipated. I knew there were problems at home, primarily because Tom was a heavy drinker and Laurie tried to manage it as frustrated wives do. All I had to do to get that was look at the yellowed cartoon strip that's still pinned above the empty desk of his Free Press cubicle wall.
"Honey, I'm home," the bedraggled man in the frame says -- as he punches a time clock.
But it wasn't as if Laurie hadn't known what Tom was like from the start, as Katie pointed out. They met when Laurie was bartending at the Winnipeg Press Club. That was the beginning, but it's the end Katie really wanted to talk about.
Her mum had bladder cancer, although it was a stroke that sent Laurie to the hospital on Feb. 2, 2012, a year to the day before Katie's loose saddle sent her flying from her horse. It was in the final weeks of Laurie's life when the parents began to teach their children about what's important in life. Starting with their mother.
"It was on a day when her speech was terrible," Katie recalled. "She said, 'I'm so proud of you and I love you so much.' And I said, 'I can't wait for you to come home. I need you forever.' "
Of course, Laurie knew she wasn't coming home. "When I stop fighting," she told Katie, "you guys need to let me go. I need you to be the strong one."
Then she implored Katie to get to know her father and not to be angry with him because of his drinking.
"She said, 'All he's done is love you the way he knows how.' "
Sometimes," her mum added, "I think your dad would hang on to me forever."
Katie did get close to her dad, something she's grateful for. But her mother was right about her dad needing to hang on to her mum forever. Two months after she died, he followed.
By that time, Tom had told his daughters he couldn't continue without Laurie and his wanting to die wasn't because he didn't love them.
"He said, 'I don't know how to be without her. She kept me alive for 35 years.' "
It was a few months before that, after Laurie's stroke, that they both began to let go. Katie recalled the night she and Jen were told to go home and leave the two of them alone at the hospital. Instead, they decided to eavesdrop by the door.
"I wanted to listen," Katie said, "to make sure my mum was being nice."
To their surprise, what their daughters overheard was two people being nice to each other. Two people who had nothing more to lose by being honest, humble and vulnerable.
"My mum just apologized. She said, 'I'm sorry I was a nag. I never meant to treat you poorly. But it's the only way I knew to keep you alive. It's the only way I knew how to love you.' "
Laurie was slurring her words. Tom was holding her hand. "And he said, 'I know that's all you tried to do.' Then he apologized and said, 'I'm sorry that I wasn't the husband that you deserved.' "
I asked Katie what it was like to listen to that.
"It was sad, but it was really, really sweet. It was like they were saying goodbye. It was like their relationship had come full circle and anything that had happened in the past, and the mistakes that either of them made -- nothing mattered but them in that moment."
Katie summed it up in these words: "It's a beautiful story." That's how Katie sees it now.
"I'm so lucky to have had them as parents and to watch their relationship change over the years. I feel it gives me a lot more perspective on my own relationship. You always think you have tomorrow to apologize or to make something right. And I've learned so quickly that you don't."
In the end, what her parents really taught her is that life is about relationships, and the most important is the one with yourself and those you love.
Speaking of those you love, Katie and longtime boyfriend Ben Hodges are to be wed on Aug. 17. Of course, life is too complex, too unpredictable for happily ever after. But with all she's been through and all she's learned, who knows?
May you live happily ever after, Katie. You deserve it.

CLAY TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Thousands of boaters are expected to gather today at Gull Island for the annual party known as "Jobbie Nooner."
This is the 26th year for the party in Lake Saint Clair, which started at 8 a.m. and runs late into the night.
Watch LIVE: Sky4 over Jobbie Nooner
The party has developed a reputation in recent years as a free-for-all featuring nudity, and excessive drinking, but some police and elected officials said the rowdiness is overblown. "Actually, it's been fairly smoothly in the past few years," said Lt. Paul Reid of the St. Clair County Sheriff's Marine Patrol. "Our biggest concerns are people exposing themselves and the biggest hazard is drunken people operating boats."
Each year, there are also several fights "fueled by alcohol and disagreements, so our top priority is to keep the peace," Reid said.
The island was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers while dredging canals for ship traffic, and it is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The party has taken place since the mid-1980s.
It was started by a group of auto workers who took a skip day at noon and headed to the lake to party.

Association journal, Accounting Horizons. She will present evidence
on how management accounting data and control systems have been adapted to
the environment of alliances and partnerships drawing on prior published
work as well as two ongoing research projects. She serves as an editor of The Accounting Review and on the editorial boards of the
Accounting Organizations and Society, Production and Operations Management, and
Management Accounting Research. She has served on numerous committees for the
American Accounting Association and the Management Accounting Section of the American
Accounting Association. She previously taught at the University of Michigan and

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1733 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into a student of mine from Grade 12 a month ago, and he's a handsome businessman in his 30s now. We were at a bar downtown and he asked me to dance. I thought, why not? One dance turned into many and we had a few drinks and a lot of fun playing catch-up. Then he asked me to go for coffee with him. We talked for hours over coffee. I found out he really liked me in high school but knew I was not available, being a teacher, so he concentrated on his girlfriend. Now, in his mid-30s and unmarried, he is asking me, an early 40s woman who's divorced, to go out with him and I have gone twice to the movies with him. The difference is six years, not much really. I kind of got my mind around the teacher/student problem, but then he invited me to a social where all his old buddies (my former students) would be, and my mind just freaked. I yelled "No!" He keeps calling since then, but I have shut down my growing feelings for him, even though I really, really like the man he has become. What should I do? -- His Old Teacher, Winnipeg
Dear Teacher: The problem is the context. For him, it would be a coup to bring you into the group as his woman. But it would be a sharp drop in status for you to come into the room on your former student's arm, with a bunch of your old students sitting there sniggering. Even though you don't mess with current students, it would give people that idea. It's understandable you freaked at the thought of this date. Had you met him in another city where none of the old school context was there to complicate things, it might have been fine. What was he thinking trying to take a former teacher to a social like that? Did he not get that it might be extremely embarrassing for you? In some ways, he's still a school boy. It's best to stay away from him.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: There's this woman in my neighbourhood who walks around her living room naked at night. I used to walk my dog down the road, but when I saw what she was doing, I started walking down the sidewalk. She seemed to be putting on a show last night, even after my dog barked at her and she knew someone was looking. She doesn't look up or look out the windows but she parades around -- doing a lot of unnecessary walking, as far as I can see -- and stretches her arms over her head, and such. It's quite something to see, like a European movie. Do you think she knows people can see her at night? -- Curious Dog Walker, Fort Garry
Dear Curious: Oh, she knows all right. That's Grade 1, page 2 in exhibitionist class. When it gets dark outside and the lights are on inside, you can see in people's windows perfectly, just like watching a big ol' movie screen. Do you want her to stop? No, you don't. So you will have to keep up your pretence of the sidewalk being the only place to walk your pooch and she will keep up her pretence of innocently walking around at night, naked and "unseen." Sounds like a good pairing of performer and audience, as long as you don't start bragging about it. Good luck with that.

Alumni Profile
JUDGE REGGIE B. WALTON '74: Passionate Public Servant
For Reggie B. Walton '74, public service is a way of life. A United States District Judge for the District of Columbia, he has held public service positions for his entire career, and currently serves not only in D.C. but also as a judge for the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, as chairperson of the National Prison Rape Reduction Commission, by the appointment of Chief Justice Rehnquist, as a member of the federal judiciary's Criminal Law Committee, and on the D.C. Circuit Court's Judicial Council, which decides complaints filed against federal judges in D.C.
But what is most remarkable about Walton's service is the way his passion for improving society comes through in his daily work. One recent morning, for example, he made a point of telling the courtroom at large that he was "sick and tired" of seeing young African-American men caught up in the prison system, with chains on their ankles reminiscent of slavery. He lectured the defendant on responsibility and opportunity, counseling him to get his life together and, in effect, loose the chains. Walton admits he has a reputation of being tough on crime – and watching him in the courtroom it becomes clear that he is working not only to protect communities from criminals, he is working to transform criminals into productive members of society.
"I entered the law because I saw it as a way for social change," Walton told Linn Washington, in his book Black Judges on Justice.
Walton has been a public defender (in the Defender Association of Philadelphia) as well as a prosecutor (as assistant United States attorney in D.C.); he served as assistant drug czar under President George H.W. Bush and served as a judge in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for 18 years, presiding over family, domestic violence and criminal divisions. He has received numerous awards, from the Assistant U.S. States Attorneys' Association, the Judicial Council of the National Bar Association, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and many more.
It's an impressive list of accomplishments, especially for a man born, as he says, of "humble beginnings." Walton, 59, grew up in Donora, Pennsylvania, where his father worked as a janitor. Never a scholar in high school, ("I did the minimum amount necessary so I could play ball on Friday night," he says), he won a football scholarship to West Virginia State College, where he became an honor student. After an intensive six-week pre-law program at Howard University, the Washington College of Law gave Walton a scholarship, for which he is tremendously grateful.
"[WCL] opened a door for me," he says. He shows his gratitude by contributing generously: he is a member of the Dean's Advisory Council and the Black Alumni Association, judges moot court proceedings, has mentored current students, and hires law clerks and interns from the school. In 2000 he received WCL's North Star Award, and in 1999 the Distinguished Alumni Award.
"I've been very fortunate in my life to have achieved the things I've been given the opportunity to do," says Walton. "I feel an obligation to give back and make my society better."
**This alumni profile originally appeared in the Fall 2008 edition of The Advocate, WCL's alumni magazine.

ABOUT 50 people packed into a parish meeting to oppose controversial plans to build more than 40 homes on a former playing field in Malvern Wells.
The disused Abbey College sports pitches between Rothwell Road and Hanley Road are subject to an application from CALA Homes for 43 dwellings but faced substantial public opposition at the meeting of Malvern Wells Parish Council's planning committee.
Their concerns about the loss of rural land, the potential impact on the area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and increased traffic were echoed by the committee, who opposed the plan at the meeting on Wednesday.
The parish council feels feels the plans should be considered a major development in the AONB and does not show
while the encroachment into the rural area would be detrimental to the area.
Councillors are also concerned the application doesn't meet the requirements of either national or local policies.
A spokesman for CALA Homes said the proposed development was "sensitively designed in a traditional style" to suit the local area while helping to meet the "substantial independently assessed housing need" within the district.
He added they will "work closely" with the council to develop a strategy and ensure the ongoing maintenance of the public open space, with the formation of a dedicated management company to carry out the work.
They also remain confident the plans would "not materially impact on parking or traffic conditions" around the development.
Rothwell Road resident Greg Dobson raised concerns about the loss of views and the potential cost to landscape the field.
"If you put the houses on the far side we would be looking over the roof tops. The roof tops are the same height as all of ours, so instead of looking out we are going to be looking at the back of somebody else's house."
He added: "It does seem a ridiculous place to build houses."
Fellow Rothwell Road resident Peter Walter, who has been a vocal opponent of the development site, said "very firm and very comprehensive" recommendations for rejection from the Malvern Hills AONB and Malvern Hills District Council's landscape officer should be taken into account.
Committe chairman, cllr Peter Buchanan, was met with a round of applause when he said: "I think there is case law that would suggest we have a very good chance of insisting this is a major development."
Cllr Barry Knibb said the developers were "building in parking chaos and ugliness" by placing parking spaces one behind the other, adding it "looks pretty on the drawing but it does not work in reality."
The site is earmarked for 35 homes in the South Worcestershire Development Plan - the blueprint for where building should take place between now and 2030.
A previous application by developer Landseer Homes to build 45 homes on the site was met with considerable public opposition and was withdrawn last year.

What's on the mind of billionaire Oleg Deripaska, the controlling shareholder in Rusal, the world's biggest aluminium company? At a meeting with journalists on Friday, he talked about the outlook for the alumnium industry (cautious), the planned toughening of Russia's enviromental rules (a game-changer), his dispute with business partner Viktor Vekselberg (almost no comment) and the long-running row at Norilsk Nickel (hostilities suspended).
But what excited Deripaska most were Russian lending rates. At 9 per cent a year and more, they are far too high, he says. And the answer is: a change in the "ridiculous" management team at the central bank.
