Post subject: AIPAC
Hussein 0bama
NO Friend of Israel
Hussein Obama is Israel's mortal and most dangerous ENEMY!
Obama wants pointless diplomacy on Iran, tells AIPAC Conference he'll use military force 'if necessary.'
Why is this Netanyahu-Obama meeting different?
Obama calls for containing Iran, says too much loose talk of war
March 04, 2012
0bama said he wants to pursue greater sanctions against Iran.
0bama on Sunday offered a forceful defense of his support for Israel and said while he will take no option off the table to stop Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, "there is too much loose talk of war."
Speaking to the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, Obama said he wants to pursue a diplomatic and sanctions route to resolution.
"Now is not the time for bluster; now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in, and to sustain the broad international coalition that we have built," he said.

Prophets and protectors
Doves and hawks - Jewish Peace Camp and National Camp
A reflection of centuries-old division among Jews
Feb 2012 Steven M. Cohen Op-ed
The discourse about Israel, that conducted by those who see themselves as Israels friends, seems to come in either of two varieties.
One variety focuses on Israels shortcomings, usually entailing mistreatment of one or another group women, immigrant workers, Reform Jews, Conservative Jews, and, most prominently, Palestinians.
The other variety focuses on Israels moral virtues in the context of its struggle for peace and security.
This variety emphasizes Israels claims to democracy, progressive social values (
industriousness, ingenuity, sensitivity and respect for human rights in the midst of a protracted, existential struggle.
Often, in this discourse, Israel is compared to other Western democracies, the Palestinians, and the Arab or Muslim worlds.
Why do these two types of discourse - both conducted by Israelis, Zionists, pro-Israel Jews and their non-Jewish friends and allies seem so dissonant, so disconcerting, and so mutually distasteful?
Im reminded that I am not the first to take note of the disparate discourse on Israel. Almost 30 years ago, in September of 1982, during a temporary lull in the (first) War in Lebanon, and just before the massacres at Sabra and Shatila, Leonard (Leibel) Fein wrote these words in Moment:
There are two kinds of Jews in the world.
There is the kind of Jew who detests war and violence, who believes that fighting is not the Jewish way,
who willingly accepts that Jews have their own and higher standards of behavior.
And not just that we have them, but that those standards are our lifeblood, and what we are about.
And there is the kind of Jew who thinks we have been passive long enough, who is convinced that it is time for us to strike back at our enemies,
to reject once and for all the role of victim, who willingly accepts that Jews cannot afford to depend on favors, that we must be tough and strong.
And the trouble is, most of us are both kinds of Jew.
Although Leibel later partially re-thought or re-canted (having developed doubts that most of us had both sorts of Jews within us,) the distinctions are still resonant.
Thirty years later, these two kinds of Jews are alive and kicking, and they have been with us for some years, if not centuries.
And the destiny of the Jewish nation has been at the heart of the contention between the two camps.
One camp speaks with Judaisms prophetic voice; the other primarily acts out of protective concerns.
Both draw upon a wellspring of Jewish moral values and both see themselves defending the interests of Israel and the Jewish People.
Doves and hawks
The historic (if fanciful) images of Yochanan ben Zakkai and Simon bar Kokhba come to mind.
Faced with the Roman oppressor, the former counseled surrender in 68 CE; 70 years later, the latter led a rebellion that was crushed.
(Truth be told, history has judged some Jewish protectors far more kindly than bar Kokhba.)
Nearly two millennia later, Jewish prophets and Israels protectors emerge once again, loosely associated respectively with Labor Zionists and Revisionist Zionists.
In the last generation, we saw them denoted as, doves and hawks or, more broadly as the Peace Camp and the National Camp.
And today? The pro-Israel world is still divided between a more prophetic and more protective camp.
Among the former, loosely speaking, we have: the New Israel Fund, J Street, Jewish Democrats, and
Israel educators who call for hugging and wrestling with Israels complexities.
Among the latter: ZOA, AIPAC, Jewish Republicans, and the Israel advocacy industry who see advancing Israels cause in the public arena as a moral imperative.
The lines may be blurry, but the impulses are still present. The two camps feel thoroughly justified and deeply worried.
And the more they raise their voices, the more the other side feels vulnerable, if not defeated.
Protectors see prophets as doing grave harm to Israels image and security:
Who needs Israels friends let alone its enemies reading stories alleging sexism, religious intolerance, human rights abuses, fascist tendencies and racist motives?
For their part, prophets see protectors undermining Israels security as well.
They ask, how are Israelis ever to confront the hard and fateful decisions to make risky concessions for peace (or at least more security), if they are told that
1) all is right with them and their leaders,
2) that the world is uncaring to unsympathetic, and that
3) the other side is inherently hostile, untrustworthy and fanatical?
And, in the interim, how does the protectors discourse reeking with self-righteousness motivate Israelis to avoid committing the most egregious abuses in several spheres
and in particular in conducting the occupation abuses, that are wrong morally, and harmful politically?
Reconciling Prophets with protectors is not in the cards.
But perhaps each can begin to see the value of the other or even draw upon the sensitivities and worldviews that each bring to the pro-Israel discourse.
This may be one example from which he is taking his information
God's prophets have always desired to save Israel, but they would not heed. Just like America today.

plans to pressure
not to strike Iran;
White House meeting set for Monday, March 5
Obama's AIPAC Speech Transcript[/b]
This is the text of President Barack Obamas speech at the AIPAC conference in Washington on Sunday March 4, 2012.
Bibi should NOT meet 0bama, they hate each other.
God sent a tornado outbreak across the eastern half of the USA to WARN 0bama NOT to touch Israel.
I hate to imagine God's judgment later this week/month on the USA.
Cant wait much longer
March 6, 2012
I will never let my people live in the shadow of annihilation!
Netanyahu told Obama Israel Cant wait much longer on Iran.
My supreme responsibility as Prime Minister of Israel is to ensure that Israel remains the master of its fate.
PM to AIPAC: Israel cannot wait much longer on Iran
Bibi said, 'Israel has waited for diplomacy to work, we've waited for sanctions to work. None of us can afford to wait much longer.'
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said time is running out to put a stop to Iran nuclear programme.
This is just hot air. Iran has nukes now, and delivery systems.

Israeli state officials disappointed with Obama meeting
March 7, 2012
Never forget -
LIES of WAR
US views Iranian issue in the context of 2012 election year
USA will not strike Iran
Israeli state officials were disappointed Tuesday with the results of the Netanyahu-Obama meeting at the White House on Monday. "There were no surprises," a senior state official said. "It was clear from recent months that there are differences between ourselves and the Americans. We have different perspectives when it comes to the question of time and red lines."
It was claimed that the Americans view the Iranian issue in the context of the upcoming presidential elections. "It's a bad message for the issue and a good message for the Iranians," a state official said.
US bunker-busters, aerial refueling for Israel

Obama is Israel's worst frenemy
March 05, 2012
The question deserves an honest answer, though the truth is not likely to cut through the fog of presidential self-pity. A man who compares himself to Lincoln, Gandhi, King, Mandela and FDR isnt the sort to welcome disagreement.
And that is the heart of his problem. Obama is certain he knows whats good for Israel. Given his record and the Iranian threat, its an impossible sell.
He came into office thinking Israel was the obstacle to Middle East peace; three years later, his policies are producing more signs of war than peace. The Palestinians wont negotiate for their own state because the president foolishly urged them to make a ban on Israeli settlements a precondition.
He was wrong from the git-go, and still is. But facts dont stand a chance. As a Democrat who speaks to Obama about the Mideast told me, he has a stubborn worldview.
How stubborn will be revealed today and tomorrow during crucial meetings with Israeli leaders. The Iranian march to nukes will top the agenda, but Obamas view on Iran is typical of how he sees the region and his role in it.

Netanyahu AIPAC speech angered Palestinians
Mar 5, 2014
Heck, everything angers Palestinians, they are born angry.
Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu implored Palestinian terrorist leader Mahmud Abbas to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, fueling anger from the Palestinians.
Netanyahu, speaking at AIPAC in Washington DC, appealed directly to Abbas.
Its time the Palestinians stop denying history. Just as Israel is prepared to recognize a Palestinian state, the Palestinians must be prepared to recognize a Jewish state.

Food Network Stars Share Thanksgiving Entertaining Tipsby Cameron Curtis in Entertaining, Holidays, November 24th, 2013
For Turkey Day, Food Network stars aren't just making masterpieces in the oven; they're also setting an impressive holiday table for dinner guests. With a few tips and tricks from Giada, Ina and Sandra, you can turn your dining room table into one fit for a Thanksgiving celebration.
Giada likes to spoil each of her guests with their own dish for olive oil. At each guest's place setting, there's also a special place card. "I have the person's name on one side," says Giada, "and on the other side I have his or her favorite hobby or passion. It's a great conversation starter and it guarantees that the night will be full of laughs and lots of fun."
To make kids feel extra special at their Thanksgiving table, Giada makes homemade chocolate-covered pretzels covered in sprinkles, and then wraps them up with a nametag for each child. Instead of a tablecloth, Giada rolls out butcher paper to give kids a place to draw on.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- A woman filed a complaint against former Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams for allegedly hitting her at a nightclub while she took his picture.
Officer Angel Nazario said the woman claimed Williams snatched the camera, damaged it and hit her in the face. The incident allegedly happened around 2:30 a.m. Thursday at a San Juan nightclub, hours after Williams and his Puerto Rican teammates beat the Netherlands 5-0 in the World Baseball Classic.
Williams denies any wrongdoing, according to his spokesman, Steve Fortunato. Police are investigating.
"It's unfortunate," Williams said Friday in Miami before a Puerto Rican team workout. "It's a misunderstanding. ... There is a part of me that wants to go out there and say, obviously, my side of the facts. But I think I will let the process take its course.
"I do want to say this: That there are some reports that are represented in the media that are inaccurate. Hopefully, the matter will be clarified sooner or later, and the truth will come out."
Puerto Rico plays the United States in the WBC on Saturday night in Miami. Puerto Rican manager Jose Oquendo said he talked with Williams about the matter.
"We're going to support Bernie fully," Oquendo said. "It won't be any distraction for us."

Download and Register the Vulnerability Self-Assessment Tool (VSAT)
EPA developed the Vulnerability Self-Assessment Tool (VSAT) to assist water and wastewater utilities of all sizes with determining vulnerabilities to both man-made and natural hazards and with evaluating potential improvements to enhance their security and resiliency.
In version 6.0, EPA has made significant enhancements to VSAT.
· EPA has designed VSAT 6.0 to be consistent with the ANSI/AWWA J100-10 Risk Analysis and Management for Critical Asset Protection (RAMCAP®)Standard for Risk and Resilience Management of Water and Wastewater Systems. To meet this standard, VSAT 6.0 includes quantitative risk and resilience metrics, asset prioritization and a new threat category to assess interdependencies.
· VSAT 6.0 is easier to use. To assist small systems and new users in building an assessment, VSAT now includes a New Analysis Wizard with abbreviated lists and default assignments for common utility assets, countermeasures, and threats. Plus, data from earlier assessments made with SEMS (Security and Emergency Management System) can be imported directly into VSAT.
As stated in the 2013 National Infrastructure Protection Plan, "The national effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience depends on the ability of critical infrastructure owners and operators to make risk-informed decisions when allocating limited resources." Accordingly, EPA strongly encourages water and wastewater utility owners and operators to use VSAT 6.0 to conduct or update an all-hazards risk assessment.
System Requirements
To run VSAT, the following minimum system hardware and software requirements must be met:
To run VSAT 6.0, the following minimum system hardware and software requirements must be met:
· Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
· 1024 x 768 pixels minimum screen resolution
· Microsoft Word 2003 and Excel 2003 or later (necessary to generate reports)
Note: It is highly recommended that users go to the Microsoft website and download the most current updates for their operating system.

Zoom In on Any Screen on Your iPhone
Geek Tip: Zoom Into Any Screen on Your iPhone
Here's an iPhone feature that could have completely slipped your radar: zooming in and out of your screen. I've used the double-tap feature to zoom in on text on a webpage in Safari, but I've noticed it doesn't work in other applications. Turns out there's a setting for that!
The zoom feature, which can be turned on in the Settings menu, uses a three-finger tapping system to zoom in on any screen. Just double tap with three fingers to zoom. To move around when zoomed in, drag three fingers around the screen. And to change the zoom farther or closer, double-tap and drag three fingers up or down. This feature only works with the iPhone 3GS and new iPod Touch, not older models. To activate the zoom feature, tap Settings, General, and then Accessibility.

If you're anything like me, on December 6 you were cozied up with your computer waiting for Sephora and Pantone to announce the 2013 Color of the Year. So what a pleasant surprise it was for me to then meet this Fashionista, who was already rocking the year's hottest color, emerald! Sporting a comfy sweater dress and warm neutral palette, this week's Fashionista shows off a winter-ready look with bold pops of color in her earrings and lip color. Transition straight from finals into winter break with this casual chic ensemble!
Name: Sara Mykrantz
Major: Political Science and Mathematics
Year: Junior
College Fashionista: What are you wearing?
Sara Mykrantz: I'm wearing a dress from Forever 21, boots from Aldo, earrings from Francesca's and a bracelet from J.Crew.
CF: What was the inspiration for your outfit today? Where do you typically find fashion inspiration?
SM: This week it's been warmer than usual for December, so I wanted to wear a dress once more before the wintry weather strikes! I find inspiration in the people around me. Whenever I'm walking around campus and I see someone wearing a cute outfit, I automatically think about what's in my closet and how I can emulate that look. My friends and I all have very different styles so it's fun to sometimes borrow their clothes and try out a new style.
CF: What items are on the top of your fashion wish list this Christmas?
SM: I never used to wear many accessories, but lately I have been trying to experiment with jewelry. I would love to get a few new pairs of cute earrings and some chunky necklaces for Christmas. You can make a boring outfit so much more fun just by adding a cool pair of earrings.
CF: If you were stranded in a South Bend snowstorm, what three winter items would you want to have with you?
SM: Without a doubt, I would have my boots with me. I feel like they make even my ridiculously oversized marshmallow coat look cute. I would also want to have my knit hat to keep my ears warm and one of my cozy scarfs!
CF: You're studying in Fremantle, Australia next semester. How do you think the move will affect your style?
SM: Currently, I always plan out my outfits and am known for wearing as many layers as possible because I'm always freezing! In Australia, the culture is much more laid back and it is certainly warmer there. I'll probably be more inclined to adapt to the care-free lifestyle and just throw on whatever I'm feeling that morning. I also will have to retire my beloved sweaters, scarves, and boots for a semester.
How To: Follow Sephora and Pantone's advice to incorporate rich green into your wardrobe, accessories, and makeup this holiday season. Sara's earrings brighten up her neutral outfit and make her blue eyes pop; do the same with a bold cocktail ring, intricate necklace, or your own pair of teardrop earrings. These Amrita Singh bangles (in emerald, of course) are my go-to bracelet choice since they integrate so well into the Notre Dame color scheme!

Welsch parts with tresses to help less fortunate
TOWN OF TRENTON--An idea planted by her grandmother took root with seven-year-old Gillian Welsch and grew until the Town of Trenton youngster recently realized a successful harvest.
Last month, Welsch donated 10 inches of her hair to the Locks of Love program. The national organization provides custom, vacuum-filled hairpieces from donated hair to people in need who are financially disadvantaged.
Chopping off the tresses that previously cascaded down Welsch's back was done at Shear Perfection in Red Wing, where such cuts are free to program donors. The business ships the hair to the organization.
"It felt weird...it was a lot cooler," the shorter-haired girl said Friday. She'd had no haircuts in the back for at least a year, her mother, Sabrina, added.
Her grandma, Sandy Sanders of Anchorage, Alaska, long admired the granddaughter's thick hair, Welsch's mom said. Sanders suggested it be sacrificed to support the cause.
Afterward, the Alaskan resident and husband Ed got to see the results in person, as their daughter took Gillian there on a trip from which they returned earlier this month. Mrs. Welsch is an Alaskan native who married a Hager City native, John; the family also includes four-year-old Maya. Ironically, Mrs. Sanders is originally from Hager City.
The Lindgren Elementary School second grader has since received a certificate from Locks of Love extending the program's appreciation and noting donors can't be linked with eventual recipients. Nonetheless, she said she'd donate again, if the opportunity occurred.
Meantime, she enjoys basketball, swimming and inner tubing, plus being with the family's pet dog, fish and guinea pig.
Those interested in donating to the organization can call 1-888-896-1588 or (561) 963-1677, or visit www.locksoflove.org.

Sydney – Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova won the battle of the Czech left-handers to reach the semi-finals of the Sydney International on Wednesday.
The second seed overcame world number 27 Lucie Safarova 7-6
(7/4), 6-2 for her 300th career win to advance to the last four where she will face Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova.
It was only the second meeting between the pair who are Fed Cup teammates.
"Lucie's a good friend of mine. We know each other well on and off court because we practised a lot together in the Fed Cup team," Kvitova said.
"So I exactly know what she can play. I knew what she will try, and I try to do my best there."
Kvitova thrashed American Christina McHale 6-1, 6-0 in her opening match and is in a better frame of mind than last year when she was a first-round loser to Slovakia's Dominika Cibulokva.
"I'm feeling much better than last year, and the results show it," she said.
"I was really glad I started here better than last year. I didn't have really nice memories from my last year here."
Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova for the Wimbledon crown three years ago, is the highest seed left in the Sydney draw following Tuesday's defeat of Agnieszka Radwanska.
"My serve was great today. It helped me a lot. She's a lefty so it's tricky, too. It's tough to play her for sure," she said.
Pironkova, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2010, upset third seed Sara Errani of Italy 7-6 (7/2), 6-3.
Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who eliminated top seed Radwanska in the second round, faces fellow American Madison Keys with German fifth seed Angelique Kerber to play Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro in the remaining quarter-finals later Wednesday. – Sapa-AFP

FRED Dibnah's Land Rover and a 100-year-old Ford Model T were just two of the vintage vehicles which took to the road in the Mayor of Bolton's charity classic car run.
Enthusiasts yesterday flocked to Victoria Square where they were treated to the sight of 60 vehicles proudly lined up before they embarked on a 60-mile drive to East Lancashire and back.
The event was arranged by Mayor of Bolton Cllr Colin Shaw, in aid of his charities Bolton Hospice, Bolton Lads and Girls Club, Fortalice and the Sensory Centre for the Blind.
Lorna Dibnah and Jayne Stott brought their late father's iconic 1966 Land Rover Series IIA — complete with customised ladder rack — which he used to use for his work as a steeplejack.
Lorna said: "The Mayor went to school with my dad so when he asked we said yes because it is in aid of such good causes.
"It started off as an ex-army Land Rover but my dad customised it and put a ladder rack on the top — basically put his stamp on it. It was his workhorse really. It was always breaking down but it is still road legal and is still going.
"It could be restored but it wouldn't be the same. We usually take it out to steam engine rallies. This is the first time it has been out this year."
Peter Higginson, aged 76, from Egerton, drove his 1914 Ford Model T along with its previous owner Peter Green.
Mr Higginson said: "I have always been a fan of the Model T and I am in the club, so I bought this six years ago from Peter. We go on a number of rallies each year. It's going to Scotland next month."
The University of Bolton's Vice Chancellor, Professor George Holmes, brought his late father's 1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.
He said: "This has been passed down to me by my father who had it from new, so it has been in my family for 45 years. I remember it being delivered when I was seven."
Keith Shorrock, aged 78, from Smithills, turned heads with his 1929 Bentley Speed Six, which he drove with his wife Moira.
He said: "We have taken this all over the world including France, Spain, Italy and Jordan and it is still going strong. But then it was made back when British engineering was at its best."
The run ended back at Victoria Square in the early afternoon where many entrants enjoyed potato pie and peas before the Mayor gave a presentation.
Cllr Colin Shaw added: "I am very grateful to all the people who have spent the time to get their cars ready for the race. The turnout has been amazing."

The most remarkable plant in the world. At first just a dried up ball, when you water it the Rose Of Jericho will become a green plant. Re-usable! In dry state: keeps insects on a distance. Green state: banishes nasty odours.
To start the resurrection you put the Rose Of Jericho in a deep plate with cold water. Within a few hours the plant will start to unfold. If you use hot water, it will decrease the unfolding time with a few minutes, but it could damage the plant. The plant should not stay in the water for more than a week, it could start to mould. After the water-process the Rose Of Jericho has to be dried for at least 2 weeks. The effect can be repeated as often as you wish.

I bought 5 "roses" a year ago as Christmas presents for my friends and kept one for myself. Then I lost mine and had no chanse to ask anyone how the plant looks like after you water it. Suddenly I found my lost plant and it was still alive and turned green after in an hour when I watered it! I should say it can be a nice present for somebody who can appreciate unusual things.

Center and Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission Launch Third-Annual Congressional Human Rights Summer Series
This June, the Center, in conjunction with the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, launched the third-annual Congressional Human Rights Summer Series, in which professors from the Washington College of Law brief congressional staffers and interns on topics related to human rights law.
The series was kicked off on June 16 by Center Executive Director Hadar Harris, who hosted a talk titled "What are Human Rights and Why do they Matter?" that introduced the Congressional staff to human rights law, outlined the major treaty obligations of the United States, and discussed challenges and opportunities ahead.
On July 9, more than 140 Congressional staffers from 67 Senate and House offices, as well as interns from the Library of Congress and Department of State, attended the second lecture of the series. The hearing room was filled to capacity as the standing-room-only crowd heard WCL professor Rick Wilson give his talk, titled "Exploring Intersections of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law."
The third installment of the series will take place on Monday, August 4 with Prof. Steve Vladeck providing an introduction to National Security Law. A full schedule of the briefings can be found here.

Has anybody else been following the series in the Star Tribune on the Twins minor league affiliates? They've had some pretty good articles. I did notice, however, that they cut it off after Elizabethton - no coverage of GCL. I would have liked to seen one on them, and even the Dominican league. They always seem to get short shrift when the farm system is covered.
Posted 07 July 2012 - 09:31 AM
Ys, it would be interesting to read about the Dominican league...I think they have focused on that in the past, the Academy and such that gives players food, education and, if they look decent, a salary to play baseball fulltime. A lot of the GCL guys do go to Eliza, or it is more of a pure instructional league, get the guys to know the Twins way and work on fundamentals and play games amongst themselves, or other area teams only. Few people in the stands and such. What is interesting is the Eliz article, about players basically living out of homes (makes sense) and the competition. The players can look around at 25 faces and suddenly realize that they have made it to the absolute beginning level of minor league ball and ONLY 2-3 of the guys around them MAY see major league play IN ANY CAPACITY. Everyone else is doomed to 2-3-4 years of minor league play and maybe another handful become AAAA players for a few extra years. You suddenly discover that you may be the best thing in your high school or college, but suddenly you are playing with the best from any other high school or college. Granted, in the world of minor league ball you need a place to sleep, do laundry and maybe cook ... but your whole life during the baseball season is playing ball in some capacity to reach the major leagues. Can you think of a more fun life for a few years? Of course, nice to have something to fall back on, eventually.

Canada stood up to terrorism in the case of Momin Khawaja of Ottawa, the first person charged under the terror law passed after Sept. 11, 2001. In two separate cases, it upheld the extradition of two suspected Tamil Tigers, as it should have. Democracies don't have to fight terror with both hands tied behind their back, as the Supreme Court of Canada makes clear.
The court was unanimous on Friday that the homegrown terrorist who consorted with terrorists, including the fertilizer-bomb plotters in Britain, deserved a sentence of life in prison, with parole eligibility after 10 years. And it was also unanimous that no reason has yet been shown to delete from the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Act the "motive clause" – which says terrorism is an act committed for a political, religious or ideological purpose.
Really, this should have been a slam dunk. Mr. Khawaja put himself at the service of indiscriminate killing. He was designing a detonator for some very serious international terrorists – offered to build up to 30 of them. He gave terrorists money and supplies. And he showed no remorse, would not even speak to the court or to justice officials writing a presentence report.
After all that, Mr. Justice Douglas Rutherford of Ontario Superior Court had sentenced him to just 15 1/2years. The judge also snipped out the "motive clause," a clause he described, without any evidence at all, as having a chilling effect on free speech. The natural and usually laudable Canadian tendency toward mercy was too much in evidence, and the need to protect Canadian society, and uphold Canada's international obligations to fight terror, was diminished.
But the Supreme Court denounced terror in action, not just words. (The Ontario Court of Appeal had done the same, overturning key parts of Judge Rutherford's ruling.) A life sentence is fitting for a major global terrorist because if he doesn't show evidence of rehabilitating himself, he can be held for life. As for the "motive clause," the terror law does not impinge on free speech, but on violence or threats of violence.
Violence is a threat to the rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and it would be self-defeating if the rights in that charter somehow prevented Canada from protecting itself from terrorism.Report Typo/Error

Oracle to Pay Hurd $950K Annual Salary, Bonus Up to $10M
If Mark Hurd joins Oracle as its president, he will earn a base salary of $950,000, with the potential for $10 million in bonuses, according to his offer letter.
Hurd will be president of worldwide sales, consulting, marketing and support at Oracle, reporting to Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison, according to the document, which was submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hurd will also be nominated to serve on the company's board of directors at the annual shareholder meeting on Oct. 6.
If he meets his fiscal year 2011 targets, Hurd will receive a $5 million bonus, but he could take home up to $10 million. He was also granted a stock option to purchase 10 million shares of common stock, with the option to buy 5 million additional shares per year over the next five years.
Whether or not Hurd is able to take advantage of this offer remains to be seen. One day after Oracle announced that it had offered Hurd the job as president, Hurd's former employer Hewlett-Packard sued him for breach of contract.
Hurd violated a confidentiality agreement he signed with HP, according to the suit. HP wants monetary damages and injunctive relief to bar Hurd from disclosing the company's trade secrets which would essentially ban Hurd from taking the Oracle job.
Ellison said Tuesday that the HP lawsuit was vindictive.
"Oracle has long viewed HP as an important partner," Ellison said in a statement. "By filing this vindictive lawsuit against Oracle and Mark Hurd, the HP board is acting with utter disregard for that partnership, our joint customers, and their own shareholders and employees. The HP Board is making it virtually impossible for Oracle and HP to continue to cooperate and work together in the IT marketplace."
Hurd resigned as HP's CEO in August amidst a sexual harassment and expense report scandal. One week later, a group of shareholders filed suit against the company's board, alleging, among other things, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets.

(CBS) The FDA has issued a stern warning to Trent Arsenault of Fremont, California: Stop donating your sperm over the internet or you're going to prison.
PICTURES: Sperm: 15 crazy things you should know
The 36-year-old engineer at Hewlett-Packard has been donating his sperm online since 2006, when he answered a personal ad from a local couple trying to have children, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Since then he's fathered 14 children and has more on the way. Last month alone he impregnated three women through his donated sperm.
"I know the holidays are busy," Arsenault jokingly told the Chronicle. "But I didn't know that included babies."
Arsenault donates his sperm because he believes sperm banks shouldn't charge women or couples seeking families. According to the Chronicle, he also likes that his donation isn't anonymous, which may allow him to one day have a relationship with the children.
Trent donates his sperm after signing contracts with prospective donors who visit his personal website. The site contains a breakdown of his vitals including his height, blood type, diet, and health history, as well as pictures of Arsenault throughout the years.
The FDA has been monitoring Arsenault for more than a year. The agency sent him an "order to cease manufacturing" in Nov. 2010 for distributing 328 donations of semen to 46 different women. The FDA cited that Arsenault's sperm is not tested for communicable diseases in compliance with federal regulations.
Arsenault told The Daily Beast in October that local police delivered the letter which said if he engages in the "recovery, processing, storage, labeling, packaging, or distribution" of sperm, he faces a fine up to $100,000 and a year in prison.
"I saved the FDA letter," Arsenault told The Daily Beast. "It may be worth something someday on eBay."
Arsenault is currently challening the order on the grounds that the FDA can't regulate him giving away sperm to someone he has a personal relationship with. He is allowed to provide his sperm while the case is pending.
But he's not the only who engages in this practice. There's a registry of free private sperm donors that set women up with donors without using sperm banks.
"We do not believe this is a service that recipients or donors should be charged for," reads the Free Sperm Donor Registry's website.
"If it's legal to go to a bar, get drunk, and sleep with a random stranger, then it can't possibly be illegal to provide clean, healthy sperm in a cup," the registry's founder, Beth Gardner, told The Daily Beast. Gardner is the first to admit however that not every donor may be "professional."
Doctor's are against these types of private donations because of safety concerns, but realize they occur.
"I know people will get their friends and just use the turkey baster or whatever. Clearly that happens," Dr. Lynn Westphal, a reproductive endocrinologist at Stanford, told the Chronicle. "But there are reasons for these FDA regulations. It's safer to have the sperm tested."

Minutes before Universal's presentation of 'Cowboys and Aliens' with director Jon Favreau and Harrison Ford, a man was stabbed in the eye with a pen by another fan during a seating scuffle.
Beside all the great news, trailers and panel discussions at Comic-Con, the big event also brought a disturbing incident. On Saturday night, July 24 at around 4:00 P.M., a man in his 20s was rushed to hospital after around his eye socket was stabbed with a pen by another man, who is also in his mid 20.
USA Today reported that the stabbing occurred in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center, minutes before Universal Pictures was to present "Cowboys and Aliens" with director Jon Favreau and actor Harrison Ford as the panels. According to witnesses, the scuffle broke out when the two men argued over a seat.
Because of the stabbing, the victim was seen having blood on his Harry Potter Comic-Con t-shirt, while onlookers stood horrified as the man was bleeding from his eye. Although he was said not losing his eye, he has a gnarly cut on his eye-lid.
The man with the pen, in the meantime, has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The two men's identities have not yet been revealed. Sergeant Gary Mondesir of the San Diego Police Department, who was at the scene, told CBR, "This is extremely rare. The folks that attend here are extremely well behaved... We have no problem with the attendees of Comic-Con." Despite the stabbing, the presentations started again around 5:30 P.M.

I have three examples of my drive taken at 8 month intervals. I started playing in June of 07. The fist clip is from August. The second clip is from April of this year and I received some good feedback on it. The last one was just taken yesterday. It was a Champion Leopard which went about 320. I think I've made some pretty big strides this year, but I still don't think I get my weight forward enough.
Then and now.
Feedback is always appreciated. Fire away!!
The latest drive is at about 40 seconds.

Parramatta face a $15,000 fine after the NRL issued the Eels a breach notice following coach Ricky Stuart's latest attack on referees' boss Daniel Anderson.
Stuart labelled the 13-6 penalty count against Parramatta in Sunday's 30-10 loss to South Sydney a disgrace and claimed most coaches in the league didn't think Anderson was doing the right job.
"To keep my job, I don't communicate with Daniel Anderson because I don't agree with what he's doing," Stuart said.
"I know a lot of other coaches, or most, are the same in regards to my thoughts."
The Eels have five business days to make submissions in relation to the breach notice.
"There are clear guidelines for coaches and officials in regards to commenting on decisions and they do not permit an attack on a match official's character or integrity," said the NRL general manager of football operations Nathan McGuirk in a statement.
"To question the competency of the match officials and the head of the referees in that manner is not acceptable."
Parramatta have already been fined $10,000 this season for Stuart's lambasting of Anderson after the Eels' round-six loss to the Gold Coast.
"Since we played the Gold Coast and I had my little tantrum with the referees, we train with discipline," Stuart said.
"I've tried to get the boys to live with discipline. We've worked that hard in regards to our discipline off the footy field at training.
"We cannot be so different every week to the opposition - not penalty counts but what we're getting penalised for.
"Most of them are deserved but the same actions aren't being penalised with the opposition team.
"We haven't got a football team that can handle that ... I've got to stand up and say that for the fans and the players.
"It wouldn't be right of me if I didn't."
Stuart said coaches of the top sides were wary of criticising Anderson.
"I don't know what his job description is, but I don't believe it's being fulfilled. It's very, very frustrating," he said.
"Sometimes the truth hurts. Sometimes people don't like hearing what actually is happening out there.
"A lot of other coaches won't say this because they're all trying to fight (for) a spot for the eight and they don't want to upset the apple cart."

While some on the left side of the aisle in Congress are getting all starry-eyed about prospects of more federal stimulus spending, the first round of stimulus under President Barack Obama may have done even less to help the ailing economy than supporters claim.
On MSNBC's July 9 broadcast of "The Daily Rundown," co-hosts Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie interviewed CNBC "Closing Bell" anchor Maria Bartiromo from the Aspen Ideas Festival in Aspen, Colo. And Bartiromo offered her views why the economy didn't spiral out of control any more than it did. She said according to some on Wall Street, it wasn't Obama's $787-billion "stimulus" that included a huge bulk of state government bailout spending, but instead action by the Federal Reserve to put more liquidity in the economy.
"Look, there's no doubt about it - we were close to going off a cliff the weekend at Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, Merrill [Lynch] was sold and AIG acquired by government," Bartiromo said. "You know, I mean I think we were very close and the economy needed stimulus in a big way. It's arguable whether that stimulus that helped the economy was really because of the stimulus plan or really because of the Federal Reserve. I think most people on Wall Street will believe and will tell you that it was really the Fed action in terms of giving greater access to the banks to overnight lending that really, really got us out."
"But you know - it doesn't matter," she continued. "I mean, here we are and we are still in a very weak situation in the U.S. economy and the recovery is quite fragile and I think at this moment in time, many people are worried that in fact it may not necessarily officially be a double-dip recession that we're headed toward but we are looking at another leg down."
Guthrie asked why that if corporate earnings look strong, as they're expected to, aren't these corporations doing more to hire and lower the overall unemployment rate in the United States. According to the "Closing Bell" host, business is looking overseas because of the uncertainty the Obama administration has put into the economy with taxes and health care.
"I think right now you have hit on the one very bullish part of the economy and that is the corporate sector," Bartiromo said. "We're heading into a new quarter where we will get quarterly earnings and probably will be a better than expected. And the reason is because corporations have cut to the bone. They have cut employees. They have cut R&D spending. They've cut anything they can. They cut all the fat out so we are talking about enormous cash levels. What they're doing with the cash is another question. They're sitting on it. They're not investing in the U.S. economy. They're actually following the growth overseas. PepsiCo [is] building 13 plants in China. GE building more places, businesses in India. You are seeing businesses follow the growth outside of the United States. But absolutely - that is the positive. The reason that they're not hiring right now is because there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty. And that has everything to do with the policies coming out of this administration. Higher taxes in 2011, higher expenses as a result of health care costs. That's why they're not hiring."
So what can be done to encourage more hiring with all this cash on the books by major businesses? According to the "Closing Bell" host, business needs more incentives to hire and she rattled off some for MSNBC viewers.
"One they could do soon is not allow the Bush tax cuts to expire in 2011," she said. "Giving some - the end of the 2010, giving some confidence that they won't have that added expense. A lot of people are worried about that. Now, Tim Geithner had an important interview with Larry Kudlow last week and Geithner said that he is prepared to keep capital gains and dividends taxes at 20 percent. This was very, very positive and I think that is part of the reason the market has been rallying the last three days because there was an expectation that capital gains taxes would go all the way up to 39.6 percent. If, in fact, the administration keeps it at 20 percent, I think that's very positive."

Are you looking to get started with social media marketing?
Do you want to reexamine how you've been using social networks?
In this post, I'll cover 26 tips, an A-Z guide, to help you understand the backbone of successful social media strategies.
#1: Assess and Reassess
One way to assess whether to use one of the "big four" social networking sites as Samson Lov refers to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+, is by looking at the statistics—number of users on each network.
Statistical data is an interesting factor to look at while you decide where to build presences. However, keep in mind it's one of many perspectives. Some social networking sites may make more sense for your business than others. We'll discuss this further in Tip #19, Start Somewhere and Start Small.

Durban - Singing sensations Beyoncé Knowles and Mariah Carey – and the length of their skirts – took centre stage briefly in the Durban Regional Court on Thursday.
Witness, David Nyide, was giving evidence in a human trafficking, racketeering, rape and assault trial where it is alleged 23 women and young girls were recruited to work in a brothel, allegedly run from Inn Town Lodge, in the city's Point area.
uMhlanga doctor, Genchen Rugnath, and his wife, Ravina, who own the lodge, and three other accused – Sandile Zweni, Nduduzo Dlamini and Bhabha Dubazani – face a total of 156 charges. It is alleged the prostitutes were "Sandile's girls" and that he paid for rooms for them at the lodge.
All five accused have pleaded not guilty.
The Rugnaths say they left the running of the lodge to the manager, Veena Budhram, and if there was anything illegal, they had no knowledge of it.
Nyide, a receptionist at the lodge, was asked by attorney Anand Nepaul, for the Rugnaths, if there was anything visible that identified the girls as prostitutes.
He replied that they had worn short skirts.
Nepaul pointed out that many people wore short skirts and asked him if he watched TV and if he had seen Beyoncé dancing or Mariah Carey on stage. The he asked him how short their skirts were.
"Short," came the reply.
In Zulu culture, women did not wear short skirts unless they were prostitutes, Nyide said. Magistrate Simphiwe Hlophe intervened to ask if he knew if the girls were South Africans or even Zulus.
"I did not know," Nyide said.
Nepaul asked him if he knew what the word "sgcebhezane" (someone wearing a short skirt who may or may not have her panties showing), meant. The skirts at the lodge were so short their panties were showing, Nyide said.
Nepaul reminded him that when he gave evidence earlier in the week he had been asked how he knew the girls were prostitutes – and he had only mentioned the short skirts.
Nepaul said Nyide's story was a fabrication. Nepaul later told the witness to "stop skirting about" the issues.
He said he would argue that Nyide was a "schooled" witness who was being evasive, and urged him to co-operate as it was affecting his credibility.
Nyide said when the girls saw Genchen Rugnath's car approaching the lodge, they would run away.
They did not want Rugnath to see them soliciting in front of the building, he claimed. Budhram, he said, had known Zweni was conducting prostitution at the lodge.
The trial continues on Friday.

L?arte dei rumori
Contemporary music. Quite the subject. Although there still isn't a universal consensus on what it actually is – or rather, on which music is contemporary and which isn't – it's more or less clear that we're talking about music born at the start of the 20th century, next to Schönberg's twelve-tone system, with the precedents of Stravinski and Impressionism, with the impulse of the Historical Avant-gardists and the ambition to break with the legacy of Romanticism; all of which would give birth to electro-acoustics, musique concrète, electronica, minimalism, free improv, neotonalism and so many other discourses which, paradoxically, many champions of contemporary music do not acknowledge as such and which can be found, in bigger or smaller measures and one way or the other, in the DNA of virtually everything we listen to today, from hip hop to noise, from post-rock to dubstep.
Speaking of paradoxes, "today" is precisely the key word to understand the permanent crisis – of audience, creativity, resources – the music that considers itself contemporary seems to have been suffering from since more than four decades ago. A crisis much like the economical one: the fault of those who run it. For years, the Academy – like that, with a capital A, because we're talking about the estate – has shown a miraculous ability to be immune to everything that's happening outside of its sacred doors and even, many times, to isolate itself from the possibly disruptive elements that could have filtered through. Like this, contemporary music is, in 2010, anything but contemporary: stuck in dogmas and preterite ways, profoundly reactionary, full of prejudice and artificially sustained – would there be contemporary music had it not been for public funding? – in its absurd complacence. In short, far from the present.
The redefining of contemporary music, if it really wants to be so, needs to be done through a profound revision of its formal and conceptual premise, which should result in a significant expansion of its aesthetic field without rejecting its past or entering territories too hostile for lack of adventurous eagerness. And for that transition to the here and now to be effective, the intervention of agents such as Zeitkratzer will be necessary.Zeitkratzer are an orchestral formation based in Berlin and founded in 1997 by pianist Reinhold Freidl, whose repertoire reflects exactly that broadness of view that is so necessary. Divided in two main lines of action, "Old School" and "Electronics", Zeitkratzer can play programs integrated by works of composers who are traditionally associated directly or tangentially with contemporary music – Arnold Schönberg, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis, John Cage, James Tenney – with the same rigour and competence as pieces composed in collaboration with electronic musicians who have, let's say, non-academic roots – Terre Thaemlitz, Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto), Christian Fennesz, Vladislav Delay, Markus Popp (Oval), Rechenzentrum, John Duncan – or professional noise makers – Merzbow, Zbigniew Karkowski, Lee Ranaldo, Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music". The best students will say that this is nothing new: look no further than the trials of the London Sinfonietta at the Warp catalogue, the meetings organised by Sónar at the Barcelona Auditori between Richie Hawtin or Pan Sonic and the Symphonic Orchestra of Barcelona or the monstrosities of Jeff Mills with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Montpellier. And right they are. However, neither of these experiences has even come close to the level of hybridisation between one and the other sonic front as the German ensemble has. A level directly connected to the deep understanding of Freidl and his knowledge of both worlds' basic influences. In other words, Zeitkratzer don't conform with the mere translation of electronica to the orchestral timbre – i.e. substituting a sound, for example a synthesiser, with another, for example a violin – they submit it to a complex process of "contemporisation" with results that are nothing less than spectacular.A good example of this can be found on "Whitehouse (Electronics)" (Zeitkratzer Productions), released at the same time as – and let this serve as a paradigmatic example of everything described above – "Alvin Lucier (Old School)" (Zeitkratzer Productions). In both cases, the approach of Zeitkratzer to the works of two artists as distinctive as William Bennett – because Whitehouse is William Bennett, no matter how valuable Pete Best's contributions are – and Alvin Lucier, enfant terrible of industrial music, the first composer with great prestige in circles of high culture, the latter is as serious and, I insist, rigorous, as the other.
On "Whitehouse", the German ensemble has worked closely together with Bennett in order to design a magnificent collection, not of adaptations but reinventions of Whitehouse's compositions. Tracks taken from albums such as "Bird Seed" (2003) – "Munkisi Munkondi"–, "Cruise" (2001) – "Nzambi La Lufua", "Scapegoat"–, and "Racket" (2007) – "Fairground Muscle Twitcher", "Bia Mintau", "The Avalanche"– which Freidl, in his position as arranger, transforms into brutal orchestral razzias, pairing his virulent original impulse with mentions of Xenakis and strategies similar to those used by Iancu Dumitrescu and other composers associated with the so-called spectralism, like Horatio Radulescu.
SKYLAX 118 - B.Terre Thaemlitz & Zeitkratzer - Hobo Train (Live accoustic version) by SKYLAX
Without use of modern technology other than the exceptional amplification efforts of Ralf Meinz, Zeitkratzer – in this case clarinet, trumpet, trombone, piano, harp, percussion, violin, chello and bass – have manufactured, in one go, one of the great noise albums of the season and, at the same time, one of the most advanced and visionary works of contemporary music of the moment. Quite an achievement.
The fact that the future of contemporary music can be in the hands of a German orchestra is not all that surprising. But the fact that Whitehouse have something to do with it...
2. Mp5 David J. Fonseca: "Al Borde Del Silencio" (Audiotalaia)
David J. Fonseca from Seville is not exactly a newbie in experimental music. Soundtracks for theatre, dance and documentaries, music for installations and some references for netlabels as solvent as alg-a have served him as spaces of experimentation to mature that what is now crystallised in "Al Borde Del Silencio": noise without testosterone, field recordings and reductionist strategies in eleven magnificent tracks where delicacy and tension are, for once, not opposing concepts. Available for free download here. Suum Cuique: "Midden" (Young Americans)
It's possible to cultivate analogue drones without being a hippie. Eliane Radigue did it thirty years ago, and today Eleh and Suum Cuique are doing it. We have already spoken a lot about the first, now it's time to highlight the latter. Because there is a lot to be said about "Midden". Gloomy and abyssal, the way Suum Cuique – another one who prefers anonymity – treats the synthesiser remits to discomforting images: sharp drones, muddy in a lo-fi that in this case turns out to be an integral part of the discourse and which amplifies the dramaturgic effects of a record made to be uncomfortable. Philip Jeck: "An Ark For The Listener" (Touch)
Using turntables and wasted vinyls as instruments isn't anything new. Combining this practise with electronic instrumentation, even less so. So Philip Jeck 's modus operandi isn't exactly groundbreaking. However, there is something in his compositions, in his epic longing, his romanticism, which sets the Briton apart. On his sixth release on Touch, Jeck makes the listener forget all about the stuff used, prioritising the discourse over the medium. And that is something completely new.
Nadja: "White Nights / Drone Fields" (Beta-Lactam Ring)
Excess is an intrinsic part of Nadja's nature. Everything in the production of Aidan Baker and, lately, Leah Buckareff is excessive. From the duration of the tracks – rarely under the fifteen minutes – to the use of distortion; from the publishing activity – already about fifty releases – to the expansion of the composition's timing. "White Nights / Drone Fields" is, for now, the most over the top expression of this taste for the exuberant: two CDs and two DVDs, in total almost six hours of ambient breezes and metallic hurricanes. Grand. It couldn't be any other way.
CoH: "Z-Rated" (Rotorelief)
Twelve years of activity and still we don't know the true musical face of Ivan Pavlov. Is it the one he wears when recording for Raster-Noton? The one that claims to practice post-pop in Mego? The collaborator of Cosey Fanni Tutti and Peter Christopherson? The one playing chess with Richard Chartier? The contents of "Z-Rated" doesn't help solving the mystery. To the contrary, rather. This anti-anthology of unapproved tracks, live recordings and home experiments adds a new face to the ones we already know of the Russian: the one of the expermentalist with a sense of humour. As fun as it is enigmatic.

DUAL Olympic champion Pete Reed had to settle for a bronze medal at the European Rowing Championships in Belgrade in his new boat, the Men's Eight.
But Alex Gregory, from Wormington, north of Cheltenham, who won gold alongside Reed in the Coxless Four at London 2012, again finished on top of the podium.
Gregory is now a National, European, World and Olympic Champion, having won the Men's Four at the weekend.
Reed, the former Cirencester Deer Park pupil from Nailsworth, and Matt Gotrel from Chipping Campden's, were part of the a new GB Men's Eight which lined up for the final race of the championships in Serbia.
Olympic champions Germany were out front in the early stages but were being strongly pushed by Russia. Great Britain and Poland were vying for third.
The British boat made a big push and moved into the bronze medal position with 500m to go. Poland, however, put in a superb late surge but it wasn't quite enough to catch GB who took third place in a photo finish. Germany took gold and silver went to Russia.
Gregory and his team-mates Andy Triggs Hodge, Mohamed Sbihi and George Nash, put in a blistering performance on Sunday afternoon.
The crew were comfortable winners over Greece and Italy in a time of 5.46.86, which lowered the European record they had set in Friday's heats.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures which are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The term "adjusted EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings before net interest, other income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation and restructuring charges. The term "adjusted EBITDA margin" refers to a financial measure which we define as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. The term "adjusted net income" refers to a financial measure which we define as net income adjusted for amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring charges, as further adjusted for the related income tax impact of the adjustments. The term "adjusted net income per share" refers to a financial measure which we define as adjusted net income divided by adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, our definition of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share may not be comparable to the definitions as reported by other companies. We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are relevant and useful information because it provides us and investors with additional measurements to compare the Company's operating performance. These measures are part of our internal management reporting and planning process and are primary measures used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business, as well as potential acquisitions. The components of adjusted EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which our operating managers are responsible and upon which we evaluate their performance. In the case of senior management, adjusted EBITDA is used as one of the principal financial metrics in their annual incentive compensation program. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for planning purposes and in presentations to our board of directors. Adjusted net income is useful to us and investors because it presents an additional measurement of our financial performance, taking into account depreciation, which we believe is an ongoing cost of doing business, but excluding the impact of certain non-cash expenses and items not directly tied to the core operations of our business. Furthermore, we intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP is provided in the accompanying tables.

He admitted that the bet had "no intelligence or science behind it". The last horse in the bet sequence was 28/1 outsider Ballyhoo.
"I had no idea how much I had won, it was great to get six in a row. They offered cash, but I chose a cheque."
He added: "I have no idea what I'm going to spend the cash on, but obviously the family are going to have a very good Christmas."

Mitch's Bail Bonds stay unbeaten in Fayette County League
Thunderstorms washed out the second game of a scheduled Fayette County League doubleheader between Mitch's Bail Bonds and host Mill Run, but Mother Nature held off long enough for the Jailbirds to move their record to 5-0 with a 7-4 win in the first game.
Mitch's got off to a good start, plating two runs in the first off of Mill Run's veteran, and former Cal U hurler, Jason Halfill.
Jason Greene singled and advanced to second on an Adam Jacko walk. Cleanup hitter Jacob Newton singled to score Greene, then two batters later, player-manager Ryan Encapera singled to score Jacko.
In the second, Charleroi Area's Matt Szersen delivered an RBI single after Michael Baird and Gavin Sikorski each singled. After Jacko walked for the second time to load the bases, Newton cleared them slugging a double down the right field line to give the Jailbirds a 6-0 lead.
"It was great to break through and put up some runs, especially on a solid pitcher like (Jason) Halfhill," Encapera said.
Mill Run answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning off of former California Area standout Brian Fisher, who now pitches at Gannon University.
A bloop single by Nick Lattanzo scored Bob Fulton, who led off the inning with a double. Three batters later, Sam Beucher singled to left to score Lattanzo and Tyler Geary, who reached on error by Jailbirds second baseman, Jacko, to make the score 6-3.
Mill Run cut the lead to two in the bottom of the fourth when Geary stroked an inside-the-park home run that appeared to hit the tip of the glove of right fielder Szersen.
That was the end of the scoring against Fisher, who pitched his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. He tossed a complete game, allowing eight hits, four runs (three earned) and striking out eight. He did issue five walks.
"We had fantastic pitching today from Fisher," Encapera said. "All season our pitching has been outstanding. We just keep finding ways to win."
The Jailbirds added another run in the top of the sixth when Gavin Sikorski hit an infield single. Halfhill threw to first but first baseman John Malone's error allowed the ball to reach foul territory. The error allowed Casey Teagarden, who had previously stolen two bases, to score.
Mitch's Bail Bonds resumes play Tuesday at Vets Field in Charleroi when they host Company G. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
