Author to read from Grizzly Manifesto at Gonzaga
WILDLIFE -- Canadian conservation author Jeff Gailus will read from his book "The Grizzly Manifesto" at Gonzaga University this week, sponsored by the university's Environmental Studies Speaker Series.
The program will start at 7 p.m., Wednesday, (Feb. 22) in the Jepson Center's Wolff Auditorium. Gailus plans to read from his book and discuss the future of grizzly bears in the United States and Canada.
Gailus has developed extensive knowledge of grizzlies, following them from Yellowstone National Park through the Canadian Rockies to the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (pronounced musk-quah-ke-chee-kah) in northern British Columbia.
The free event, open to the public, is titled, "A Grizzly Tale of Two Countries: Grizzly Bear Management and Recovery across the Medicine Line."
Sid Marty, a recent recipient of the prestigious Grant MacEwan Literary Arts Award and one of Canada's most celebrated environmental writers, called "The Grizzly Manifesto" an important book. "If you care about wild bears and wild lands, read this book," Marty noted. The book was among five finalists for the 2010 Alberta Readers' Choice Award.

1. Either (a) the purposes God sets for our lives are significant because God wills them, or (b) God wills them because they're significant.
2. If (a), then what counts as a significant life is arbitrary.
3. If (b), then what counts as a significant life is independent of God
4. Therefore, what counts as a significant life is either arbitrary or independent of God.
Thanks to Justin Schieber for remarks that got me thinking about this.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Livestock Behavior Research Unit at West Lafayette, Indiana, have found that calves castrated shortly after birth suffered less stress and recovered faster than those castrated around weaning time.
The researchers used two different methods of castration – surgical and banding – on three separate groups of Angus, Simmental and crossbred calves: Two groups were castrated and one was not. In banding, a tight rubber band around the animal's scrotum cuts off the blood supply to the testicles. After several days, the scrotum drops off. Cattle producers prefer this method because it's less expensive and not as labor?intensive as surgically removing the testicles.
The West Lafayette researchers castrated one group of animals at 36 weeks – considered a typical age for weaning and castration. They castrated the other group at 33 weeks of age, or 3 weeks before weaning. They measured the calves' stress level by checking blood levels of haptoglobin, a protein the liver makes when an animal is injured. They found that haptoglobin levels were higher in calves castrated at 36 weeks than those castrated at 33 weeks or at birth, indicating a higher level of stress for the older animals. Surgically castrated calves also showed higher levels of haptoglobin compared with those castrated by banding.

Help elderly loved ones avoid financial abuse
Published 5:17 pm, Tuesday, June 11, 2013
It's unfortunate, but true: The elderly population may be the most vulnerable group in our society. In fact, in an effort to call attention to the problems of physical, emotional and financial abuse of the elderly, the United Nations designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
If you have older parents, or even grandparents, can you do to anything to help prevent them from being victimized, especially with regard to their finances? Actually, there's a lot you can do. First and foremost, you need to maintain good communications and a trusting relationship with your older family members. As long as these elements are present, you should feel free to make the following suggestions:
News Channel
Here's one more thing you can do to help your parents or grandparents avoid financial fraud: If they don't already work with a trusted, qualified financial professional, introduce them to one. If your parents have a relationship with such a professional, they will be less likely to listen to any questionable, unsolicited offers than if they were trying to manage their finances on their own.
You're in a good position to know how much, or how little, help your elderly loved ones may need in terms of avoiding financial abuse. So be willing to do whatever it takes to help them enjoy their retirement years comfortably.

*Screams* People should really stop going out looking like this. *pic*
Picture w/out her face
Oh dear god! This woman came into family dollar while DH and I were there getting more margarita mix (our DD is with her god parents all day. We're about to get wasted hehehe). This lady came in looking like this and thankful I was able to snap a picture. The picture doesn't even describe her completely(my phone is crappy). Her ass was all scrunched up and she looked 15 months pregnant although obviously too old to be. Then she had the nerve to have her shirt tucked in under her bra! Ahhhhhhh! She sounded a little slow, not like "born mentally handicapped" but more of a "I did too many drugs as a yougin and now I'm forever fucked up" type of slow.
She kept asking for a phone or a ride. My husband said he saw her get into a truck with a man who was previously in the store. He suggested she might be a hooker. Ewww. Come on, men really dont have any type of a standards.
I sent it from my phone to my account. I'll download it onto my computer and see if that works.
Quoting Robe739IsBack:
I cant see the pic? Dont think you loaded it right?
Dunno about the chica in the store, but that is one fat pussy.
That's so weird. I can see it but I guess no one else can.
I reposted it from my computer this time. Can you see it now?

BWW Reviews: PETITE ROUGE: Cajun Little Red Brings Fun, Gumbo to All Ages
Between ABC's "Once Upon a Time" and Disney's recent rash of reimagined fairy tale movies, the Aurora and Synchronicity Theatres co-production of the New Orleans-based Little Red Riding Hood musical "Petite Rouge," seems as current as any other children's show playing in Atlanta this spring. However, the hour-long musical, playing through April 21st at the Horizon Theatre, plays more like the cartoon comedies "Shrek" and "Hoodwinked!" than the darker Disney dramas. With an exceptionally talented cast and sharp direction and choreography by Justin Anderson and Lori Werner respectively, "Petite Rouge" is an appealing way for a family with young children to spend an afternoon or evening (To read the Broadway World Atlanta feature with the "Petite Rouge" director and members of the cast discussing the show, click here).
This show, now in its third incarnation with Synchornicity, is based on the children's book of the same name by Mike Artell and Jim Harris. With book, music, and lyrics by Joan Cushing, "Petite Rouge" is a rapid-fire musical that will leave even the most hyperactive youngster exhausted. Dialogue is delivered with break-neck speed by an extremely talented cast.
Renita James plays Petite Rouge, a young duckling yearning to explore beyond her overprotective mother's reach. When Petite's Grand-mère falls ill with a nasty case of the flu, the precocious duck convinces her mother to let her take Grand-mère a batch of the extra hot gumbo (and cornbread) that she loves. Petite's mother concedes, but only if the cautious cat TeJean (Alex B. West) will accompany her and make sure that they don't stray from the path. Needless to say, they do eventually stray. However, as the pair explores the bayou, they don't run into a big, bad wolf, but instead meet Claude, the Gator (Brian Harrison), a chef to rival even Emeril Lagasse, who happens to have a craving for duck.
While even the youngest of audience members knows where this story is bound to go, much of the show's best moments come along the way in watching the ensemble of three multi-talented actors bounce between different characters along Petite's path. Taryn Janelle plays Mother Duck, amongst others; Jessica DeMaria shines as Grand-mère, et. al.; and Michael Stiggers sings and dances up a storm as Frog and countless more. The trio sings and speaks with numerous accents, dances nearly non-stop, and has more quick changes than you could count.
Despite the familiar fairy tale fun, there are moments that aren't as sharp as the show's choreography. At times Harrison's Cajun dialect made him hard to understand and unfortunately sections of dialogue and singing were either a little too loud or fast to comprehend. The Cajun-inspired songs come early and often, and while they are up-beat, catchy, and incredibly well-sung, discerning musical theatre fans might not be able to differentiate one from another. However, each song is slickly produced, often with slapstick stylized movement.
At the performance I attended, the audience was made up of a multi-cultural mix of young and old alike; and based on the reaction of the children (and some adults) when given the chance to interact with the cast after the show, age didn't play a factor in the audience's level of enjoyment.
To get your tickets to the Aurora and Synchronicity co-production of "Petite Rouge" playing at the Horizon Theatre through April 21st, call 404-484-8636 or visit their website.

Granted, the title of a sermon is not it's most important element. I would be much more concerned about the big idea. You understand, of course, that the title is different than the sermon's theme statement, right? Theme statements offer the message of the sermon in a single, concise statement. Titles are different. Titles are intended to tease and invite. Titles ought to give just enough information to direct the listener's attention while sounding just interesting enough to intrigue them. Of course, a solid propositional title like "The Truth of the Trinity" might do it for some, while leaving others yawning. A great title, might make use of the imagery of the sermon in order to captivate the interest of potential listeners. Preachers ought to think of sermon titles the way that publishers think about book titles. You're trying to "sell" the listener on the possibility of investing energy in the sermon. Creativity is usually in order.
Sermon titles are often the last thing to come in the thinking of the preacher. This is a little bit at odds with popular practice these days. For marketting purposes, preachers are compelled to come up with sermon titles months in advance so that they can be printed in brochures and marketted to the public. The problem, of course, is that when the preacher prepares the title before preparing the sermon, one could have the problem of the cart before the hermeneutic. Best, in that case, to give one's self a little bit of wiggle room in the construction of the title so that the title does not mitigate against a proper treatment of the text.
Sometimes, a subtitle helps. With a subtitle, one can express more creativity with the main title and give the detail in the subtitle. For instance, "A Healthy Appetite: Learning to Curve our Appetite for Sin" (Romans 6, 7). This title introduces some of the sermon's imagery (appetite) while still giving some direction with regard to the sermon content.
Titles might not be the most important aspect of the sermon, however, they can certainly help. A good title can create a sense of anticipation among this listeners. Most preachers would welcome a room full of listeners who are attentively anticipating what they will hear in the sermon to come.
Consider the following sermon titles taken from the internet and elsewhere. Which of them compel your interest? Which of them confuse you? What would you expect to hear from these various sermons? How might you improve on them?
*The Cross and the Cradle
*Lessons from a Lost Soul
*How to Affair-Proof Your Marriage
*It is Finished
*Payday Someday
*Enjoying the Rest of Your Life
*What God Can Do Through Ordinary You
*Wrath and Mercy

Rolling out a sleeping bag, pitching a tent and cooking food over a campfire. If anything to do with camping makes you anxious, Arizona State Parks is here to help.
The park service is hosting a Family Camp Out Program at five state parks during the next two months. At Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, families can attend a session March 9-10 or April 13-14. Participants can expect to spend the weekend with rangers and nine other families learning the basics of camping.
"What we're targeting with the program is people who would like to get more involved with the outdoors but really don't have any full-time experience," says program coordinator Nicole Armstrong-Best.
Best calls this program "Camping 101." There will be demonstrations that detail how to pitch a tent, how to use a lantern and the right foods to pack. There will also be recreational activities throughout the two days — things like hiking, mountain biking, geocaching, fishing and archery, depending on the park.
"We just want to give the families an idea that when you go to camp, you don't just sit there and stare at the rocks," says Best.
Full meals will be provided for the two-day, one night trip. Families will enjoy breakfast burritos, turkey cheeseburgers, and fresh grilled corn for their entrees, as well as fruits and nuts to snack on during the day. For dessert, there's the camping classic of s'mores and hot chocolate.
Hot showers and restrooms will be available. However, families will need to bring their own bedding, clothing, sturdy shoes, and personal items like toothbrushes, soap and towels.
Best says that after this introductory weekend, she hopes that families will have a new outlook on camping.
"(The goal is) that (participants) will be comfortable to go out and camp again, that they will understand what programming state parks offer. So even if they don't go camping again, they might go in (to a park) for a program or a presentation, or go for a hike."
The program costs $65 for a family of four, with any additional family members costing $5 each. Registration is required, and you can sign up at AZStateParks.com/family.
If you go
What: Family Camp Out Program, a two-day camping trip for families with children ages 6 and older, that familiarizes parents and kids with the basics of camping.
When and Where: March 9-10 and April 13-14 at Lost Dutchman State Park (Apache Junction), March 16-17 and March 23-24 at Dead Horse Ranch State Park (Cottonwood), April 6-7 and April 27-28 at Kartchner Caverns State Park (Benson), April 13-14 and April 27-28 at Patagonia Lake State Park (Patagonia), and April 20-21 at Catalina State Park (Tucson)

text: Apollo Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: APOL) was recognized as one of America's most community-minded companies in The Civic 50 survey – the first comprehensive ranking of S&P 500 corporations that best use their time, talent and resources to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business. The survey was conducted by the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC) and Points of Light, the nation's definitive experts on civic engagement, in partnership with Bloomberg LP. An article about The Civic 50 looking at the philanthropic efforts of some of the top companies appeared in the November 12-18, 2012, issue of Bloomberg Businessweek. The full Civic 50 ranking is posted on www.businessweek.com at www.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/civic_50_2012.html. Apollo Group is proud to be ranked 23. Apollo Group's corporate social responsibility philosophy is built around the cause areas of education, career readiness and sustainability. From daily operations to its partnerships and volunteerism, Apollo Group strives to ensure the communities where it does business are incubators for college readiness. In fiscal year 2011, Apollo Group partnered with 180 organizations to help improve educational outcomes and career opportunities for all Americans. Apollo Group employees logged more than 70,000 volunteer hours worth an estimated $1.4 million. The company also awarded University of Phoenix scholarships valued at $10.1 million to more than 1,500 recipients in all 50 states and around the globe. Apollo Group's total financial contribution to corporate social responsibility, including University of Phoenix Foundation grants, was valued at $22 million. Additionally, Apollo provides generous tuition assistance for its employees, which totaled more than $100 million in 2011. "The honor of being ranked 23 on The Civic 50 is a true testament to our organization's commitment to education, career readiness and sustainability in our corporate footprint," said Pat Gottfried, vice president of corporate social responsibility for Apollo Group. "We believe the efforts we make in our local communities today will foster success long into the future. Apollo Group is privileged to be recognized as a good corporate citizen." "NCoC is proud to be part of The Civic 50 launch," said Ilir Zherka, executive director of NCoC. " The Civic 50 demonstrates that the best companies in America are deeply committed to strengthening their respective communities. Leaders of these companies are aligning the expertise of their companies and people with the needs of their communities, and then measuring the impact of their programs. NCoC hopes The Civic 50 will spur companies throughout our country to do the same." "As a company committed to community engagement and improvement, Bloomberg is proud to have partnered with the National Conference on Citizenship and Points of Light on this important ranking," said Norman Pearlstine, chairman, Bloomberg Businessweek and chief content officer, Bloomberg LP. " The Civic 50 is a pioneering addition to the Bloomberg Rankings inventory. It features a comprehensive, transparent methodology to identify companies that have taken a leadership role in developing and implementing civic engagement programs. We believe it will raise awareness of the importance of a civic consciousness through the U.S. corporate world." Companies were evaluated on seven specific metrics: leadership, measurement and strategy, design, employee civic health, community partnerships, cause alignment and transparency. Winning companies employed increasingly sophisticated tools to measure the impact of community engagement and alignment of these programs with their business's core competencies. More than two-thirds of the top 50 companies say they "frequently" or "always" use the professional skills of their workforce to address social issues and real community challenges. Sixty-six percent of the top 50 say they have "mission-level" alignment with the community partners, meaning they work with them on the highest strategic level, not just on individual programs or events.

North Wright County did not fare well against its field in a holiday tournament. The girls lost against White Bear Lake and Centennial over the weekend.
The game against White Bear Lake featured a scoreless opening period. WBL finally broke the tie in the second period as Kelly Lanigan scored on the power play (Jeanette Bealke, Lexi Cooper). Lexi Englund scored an unassisted goal to build a 2-0 lead late in the period.
Rachel King scored a short-handed goal in the final minutes of the game, but WBL's Peyton King responded on the power play just seconds later (Cooper, Lanigan) for a 3-1 lead, which wound up being the final score.
Julia Bogenholm started in net for the Riverhawks and stopped 18 of 21 shots in the loss.
The Riverhawks moved on to face Centennial, the tournament's host. Centennial opened the scoring in the first period on a Shelby Axt power play goal (Haley Loveland). NWC tied the game on a goal by Mackenzie Johnson (unassisted).
The second period belonged to Centennial, as the Cougars scored three goals. Gabbie Hughes scored a power play goal to take the lead (Anneke Linser, Courtney Radke). Kayla Ostendorf followed with another power play goal (Alyssa Haupert), and Madeline Kuntz scored the final goal of the period (Gabbie Hughes, Anna Taschner).
NWC attempted a comeback in the third period, as Marina Chapman scored a power play goal (King, Anne Marie Harald). However, Centennial padded its lead with goals by Hannah Wind (Kuntz, Hughes) and Mattison Schreifels (Carly Taschner, Jamie Fairbanks) for a 6-2 win.
Bogenholm started again in net for the Hawks and stopped 19 of 25 shots in the loss.
The Riverhawks turned to Sidney Schreiner for the tournament finale. NWC supported her with three goals (King, Marina Chapman, Emily Achterkirch) and she recorded the shutout in her first varsity start.
The Riverhawks return to action Jan. 7.

"Deciding, Proving and Planning for Best Interests—When Family Law Cases Affect Children" is the theme of the 17th annual Family Law Conference, being held Sept. 28 and 29 at the Cranwell Resort in Lenox.
The conference, sponsored by the MBA's Family Law Section, is focusing on two issues that affect parenting plans in family law.
"There's been a trend away from old-fashioned notions of custody and visitation and trying to focus on parenting plans that take into consideration the changing family dynamic," said Veronica J. Fenton, chair of the Family Law Conference. "Working couples have differing work hours, and how they manage parental obligations, before divorce and devising creative solutions afterwards, has become an important element."
"The other area of interest is those heart-wrenching, complicated issues such as parental alienation or complex custody problems that lawyers really struggle with," said Fenton. "In the vast majority of cases, we're able to devise a workable solution for all parties, but there those are difficult cases for which we are seeking new ideas and skills for how to either resolve them or litigate them."
To complement the sessions, the conference will feature a judicial forum on parenting plans. During the session, a panel of seven Massachusetts probate and family court judges will share their views on trends in parenting plans, offer opinions on hypothetical cases and discuss information presented at the conference. Moderated by Family Law Section Chair Fern L. Frolin, the session will also discuss the ongoing work of the Massachusetts Model Parenting Plan Task Force.
Session topics for the Family Law Conference, which is co-sponsored by the Berkshire County Bar Association, include:Clinical Experts in a Custody Case: Are They Necessary and How to Present and Challenge Clinical Expert Testimony.• Requesting or opposing requests for GAL's in custody cases• The GAL Report: admissibility of the report; challenges to the expert's qualifications• Psychological testing
Special Financial Planning for Special Needs Children• Child support after age 23 for disabled children• Separation agreements provisions that protect financial resources for disabled children• Divorce and Medicaid eligibility• Special needs trusts and pooled trusts
Parent Alienation Syndrome: Will Expert Testimony Survive Daubert?• Is Parent Alienation Syndrome (PAS)• Understanding Daubert• Admission of evidence
Hot Off the Press: Category E GAL Standards.• New standards for evaluative (clinical) guardians• What they mean and how to use them
Judicial Forum on Parenting Plans.• Judicial viewpoints on custody and parenting• Hypothetical fact patterns• Evolving case law• Session review• The Massachusetts Model Parenting Plan Task ForceMBA President David W. White Jr. will present opening remarks at a welcoming reception and dinner on Friday, Sept. 28. In addition, Marsha Kline Pruett, professor for the School of Social Work at Smith College, will deliver a luncheon keynote address titled "The Father-Child Connection: A Two-Way Street" on Sept. 29.

text: Access National Corporation (NASDAQ: ANCX), parent company for Access National Bank (Bank), reported third quarter net income of $2.8 million, or $0.27 per share. This represents the Corporation's 53 rd consecutive quarterly profit over its 55 quarter history. Consistent with management's stated objective of a 40% payout ratio against core earnings, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.11 per share for holders of record as of November 6, 2013 and payable on November 25, 2013. The third quarter of 2013 reflects a 17% increase in banking segment pretax earnings in comparison to the third quarter of 2012. The mortgage segment contribution declined 53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 in comparison with the same period in 2012 due to a reduction in volume and gain on sale margin. While the company has suffered volume reduction and margin compression consistent with the overall market, the mortgage segment has experienced further reductions in volume due to the strategic decision to close a significant out-of-market office in April 2013. The third quarter of 2013 represented a transition period for the mortgage segment as it reported near break-even performance while overhead staffing was reduced to align overhead with expected production. Through September 30, 2013, the mortgage division's pre-tax contribution is 30%, which aligns with management's intent, being that 70-80% of the Corporation's net income is generated from the core business of the Bank. While mortgage banking remains an important component of both the client and shareholder value proposition, the extraordinary mortgage contributions of prior years are not expected to return. In order to blunt the adverse impact of a mortgage segment in transition, the commercial banking segment elected to sell $10.6 million of SBA Guaranteed loans that resulted in an after-tax gain of $602 thousand. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2013 decreased to 3.83% from 3.95% for the same period in 2012. On a linked quarter basis, the 3.88% margin was essentially flat for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 3.89% reported in the prior quarter.

gathered some info on a few lines. the more i look at different fly lines for bass or pike/muskie, the more i read things like "short front taper allows you to turn over big flies with ease". is there a point where the front taper on a line designed to turn over big bugs could be too short? does this short front taper make a line less accurate or anything? does it inhibit casting distance at all?
cortlands bass line has a double taper design kinda like SA's SS and MT lines. i dont know anything about cortland lines though, never casted any of them. what do yall think about them?
The biggest thing a short front taper will mess you up on is roll casts and mending, for those applications the longer the belly the better. I doubt you'll be doing with a Pike line. The other issue with a short front taper is they tend to overload medium and slower rods in close. This shouldn't be an issue with a faster rod, something I would certainly recommend for picking up big Pike/Musky flies. But a short front taper puts the weight of the line out front making for easier shooting and double hauling.
Unless you have to have a floater, I would think long and hard about that Cortland intermediate. I have yet to put that line in the hands of a guide that didn't love it. I've always liked intermediates better with bass bugs and divers because it's easier to get the floating fly to dive when you pop it. I use that and the QD 400 grain when I need to get down over deeper weed beds on Lake St. Clair

CORPORATE strategic manoeuvrings are generally likened to a game of chess. But the fight for control of The Star casino's owner, Echo Entertainment, is not that cerebral.
It would more fittingly be described as a crap shoot, a roll of the dice or even a bunch of roosters in an Indonesian cockfight.
There are three players in this game. The first is the board of Echo, the second is James Packer, who wants to play a cheeky card and get control of the New South Wales casino company without paying a premium. And the third is a few large institutional shareholders in Echo - who for all intents and purposes are central to the game and probably control the way it's run. Think of them as the dealer or the ''house''.
Packer's stated objective is to get chairman John Story off the board because the performance of Echo leaves a lot to be desired.
But in reality Packer probably doesn't care whether a monkey or the saintly Michael Chaney runs Echo. He wants to put his own representative into Echo and Story is resisting - and that is why Packer wants Story gone.
It is fortuitous for Packer that Story has a history of corporate mishaps ranging from Suncorp to CSR. It enables Packer to take the commercial high ground and place pressure on shareholders to follow.
He is spending plenty of money on newspaper advertisements to ensure everyone knows Story's sins and his arguments as to how he could do it better.
Last week, Packer's corporate incompetence case against Echo got a further shot in the arm.
It is understandable that Echo's trading revenue has been a bit soft. But it was the worst time to announce a corporate screw-up
So pushing Story off his post is clearly an option the company's institutional shareholders have considered.
But let's examine the stakes and the facts.
Packer's Crown wants to get control of Echo, or at least a seat at the board table, while holding a moderately small 10 per cent stake.
He wants to convince the Echo board to leverage its New South Wales casino licence to set up another - high-roller - casino, which Packer's Crown will build on the highly desirable site being developed almost under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, known as Barangaroo Point.
But Echo's shareholders have just spend nearly $1 billion upgrading the property to attract just those high-roller players.
How he would structure such a deal is not yet known - but this should probably be outlined before the wider shareholder base is asked to vote on a reconstituted board.
Packer has asked shareholders to approve his nominated representative to take a seat on the Echo board - Jeff Kennett.
At this stage, this seems to be a case of nice try but no cigar. Nothing in the public dispatches from the major institutional shareholders suggests they would sanction one of Packer's people taking a board seat at Echo.
The problems with having a competitor on the board doesn't require any further explanation.
The big question now is whether the institutional shareholders will simply get rid of Story.
Will he become their sacrificial lamb?
It is fair to say many of them agree that Story's CV is not exemplary. Under normal circumstances institutions would afford him little support in a boardroom or shareholder brawl.
Getting rid of Story might also remove some of the acrimony that has developed between the company and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell - over leaked emails and sexual harassment and so on.
Important and sordid as that is, it is not the main game. Having said this, it's a barney no highly regulated business wants to have with the government.
But let's look at the counter-factual.
If the institutions roll Story, they may see it as a Packer victory. It wouldn't be. Packer wants a seat on the board much more than he wants Story gone.
The other problem for institutions if they get rid of Story (and don't support a Packer representative on the Echo board) is that it would leave an empty chair at the head of the Echo board table. And who would fill it?
It is hard to see any of the existing board members (or any other would-be director for that matter) putting their head above the parapet when Packer is aiming a gun between their eyes.
If one weighs up all these factors and puts a bet on the outcome, it would be that Story (rightly or wrongly) will retain his seat.
And just a postscript: There is plenty of opportunity for institutional shareholders to ease Story out the back door when the heat has died down post the July Echo meeting.
The dynamics of this war will also change if Packer's application to the liquor and gaming authority to increase his Crown's holding gets approved.

Rodgers - Cole making progress
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says midfielder Joe Cole is on the 'right track' as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Last Updated: 05/09/12 10:47am
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says midfielder Joe Cole is on the 'right track' as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Cole suffered the problem during the Reds' defeat to West Brom in their opening Premier League game at The Hawthorns.
The injury will no doubt be frustrating for the 30-year-old as he looks to establish himself in the Liverpool first team under Rodgers, having spent last season on loan at Lille.
The manager says Cole is on the way to recovery and hopes he will resume full training soon.
Rodgers told Liverpool's official website: "Joe is working well and the medical department are pleased with his progress.
"He was out onto the pitch over the weekend doing some work, so there's still a little way to go with Joe yet but he's on the right track, which is important."
Rodgers also revealed new signing Oussama Assaidi is on the mend after withdrawing from Monday's Under-21s clash with Manchester City due to tightness in his groin.
The Morocco international winger, who arrived at Anfield from Heerenveen this summer, is yet to feature for the Reds but the boss says he is close to re-joining the group for training.
Rodgers added: "He should train today. He was due to play in the reserve game, but after training with the reserves in preparation for the game on Sunday, he felt a little bit of tightness.
"We're hoping in the next couple of days he'll be ready to train and re-join the group."

One-on-One with the Latest Star Contestant to Go Homeby Sarah De Heer in Interviews, July 23, 2013
Every Sunday, Bobby, Giada and Alton take on the difficult task of eliminating one finalist in the quest to help guide fans to vote for Food Network's next sensation. And this is no easy task. Check back here every week to read Star Talk's exclusive exit interview with the latest Star hopeful to leave Food Star Kitchen.
If you missed the show and recorded it, don't read any further — Star Talk is about to chat with the latest finalist to go home.
Lovely Jackson was the first contestant in Star history to earn the chance to rejoin her fellow finalists in the on-air competition after winning Star Salvation — four intense weeks of challenges that tested basic skills and pushed limits on creativity.
In the end, Lovely's return to the competition proved to be short-lived, as she was sent home after just one more week. "It's my time. There's nothing more I can do here," she explained afterward. "I sent six people home. I did that," she added of her success on Salvation. "So, you know what? I'm OK."
Do you think she deserved to go home? Tell Star Talk in the comments below.
You're the first contestant on Food Network Star to ever receive a second chance. What was that feeling like?
LJ: I am truly grateful to receive such an amazing opportunity. I gave everything I had and put my heart in each dish I prepared during each challenge. I can't put into words how I felt when Chef Irvine named me as the winner of Star Salvation. My emotions were all over the place, and all I could do was thank Chef Irvine and cry with tears of joy.
Which elimination was more difficult: the first or the second?
LJ: The second one because I was one step closer, and I fought so hard to get back into the competition.
What's the one "glam ingredient" you can't live without?
LJ: Champagne
Throughout each round of Salvation, you seemed very confident you'd eventually return to the competition, but was there one challenge in particular that you thought might break you — or was there a competitor you were dreading battling?
LJ: The potato chip round was difficult because we could not use the chips as a coating or crust. It pushed me to be even more creative.
Is there something viewers didn't get to see from the Glam Chef?
LJ: Viewers didn't get to see how many ways I can "glam out the kitchen." I couldn't show things like my edible diamonds, edible gold or my Louis Vuitton chocolates.
What did you find more difficult: cooking for Robert on Salvation or cooking for the Selection Committee on Star?
LJ: One wasn't more difficult than the other. Both Chef Irvine and the Star Selection Committee are veterans in this industry and they each have high expectations.
After elimination, you said: "It's my time. There's nothing more I can do here." What's next for you?
LJ: Continue to grow my company, Lovely Eats, and seek other avenues to get my own show. I thank the Star Selection Committee and Chef Irvine for their wisdom, and I thank Food Network for this opportunity. The best is yet to come!


text: This blog post originally appeared on RealMoney Silver on May 20 at 8:13 a.m. EDT.It was another fun segment on "Fast Money" last night with Melissa and the gang. The subject was my renewed affinity surrounding the Japanese stock market. But, first, a housekeeping item. Melissa seemed to be of the view that I had been long Japan since late 2010, which is not the case at all (even though I was confused as well!). Factually, my interest in the land of the rising sun was first disclosed on May 2, 2011, after receiving an interesting email from Barton Biggs. In that column, I outlined why I began buying the Japanese market on that day. One of the main catalysts was the investment ramifications of the March 11 earthquake and the resulting nuclear accident. I am not underwater on my investment in Japan; I currently have a small gain (which was larger a week ago!). I am sure that Mel will correct her impression on my next appearance in a week or so! My presentation started with a haiku, which, in Japanese poetry, describes the combination of content, form and language into a compact and meaningful manner. I began by saying that the Japanese stock market is boring, frustrating and painful but, in the fullness of time, could make investors rich. Bottoms are made on very bad news, and tops are made on good news. In my view, the news in Japan is not likely to get worse. In terms of an actionable idea, I am long the iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund ( EWJ) and investment bank Nomura Holdings ( NMR). The latter is an interesting speculation priced below $5 a share. (Nomura shares sold at $22 in April 2007, at over $9 a share in 2009 and over $8 a share in early 2010.) The investment bank stands to profit if the Japanese rebuild is as strong as I document. I first showed a chart of the Nikkei. In looking at this chart, it is clear that the Japanese stock market has experienced one of the most drawn out and pronounced secular bear markets in history. One can argue that no country in modern history has moved so swiftly from worldwide adulation to total dismissal, or even contempt, as did Japan.

There's never been such a swift response to the Chancellor's Budget. No sooner had George Osborne finished his speech on Wednesday afternoon than Nottinghamshire's cricketers fled the country.
Pulling away from the flashbulbs and TV cameras congregated outside the Dixon Gates the reality of what lay in store quickly hit home.
194 days on from their epic title-winning performance at Old Trafford, the county side – (plus some very fortune hangers-on!) were heading for Abu Dhabi and the traditional curtain-raiser to the season which pits the reigning champions against the MCC.
Proving he likes his afternoon telly coach Paul Johnson joked to some of the younger lads, "You've all seen Coach Trip – behave yourself or you'll be voted off!"
Mike Hendrick – another of the senior pro's travelling – was heard to comment, "44 years in the game, I thought I'd done my fair share of tours before now!"
Amidst all the current razzmatazz and hoopla surrounding the ICC World Cup competition, a recurring image of the 1979 tournament is regularly shown on our screens.
Hendo – last man out for England in the Final – is shown grabbing one of the stumps. I asked him what happened to it. "I kept that stump - and a few others for years afterwards", he said. "Then I came home one day and the kids were playing cricket in the garden with my souvenir stumps as the wickets- and they'd knocked them in with a hammer!"
The outbound journey was fairly uneventful. Planned to the nth degree over the last four months, everything went smoothly despite a flight-path which took us over such scenic outposts as Krakow in Poland, Ukraine, Moldova and then a direct line along the Tigris River high above Iraq's Kirkup, Mosel, Baghdad and Basra!
As day broke we descended into the capital of the United Arab Emirates and bar the odd bag search at customs, our party was allowed in.
A swift transfer to our rather lavish base at Yas Island followed. Set above a Grand Prix circuit and a marina we were immediately alerted to the fact that the hotel would be 'quite full' and 'fairly noisy' for the next few days as the area was playing host to the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show and the World Touring Cars Grand Prix!
Breakfast was ready and waiting for us – and included, amongst the many splendid alternatives, chicken sausages and veal bacon. One of the party enquired if camel was a delicacy out here, to which scorer Roger Marshall responded, "If it is, they can either like it, or hump it!"
A day of rest beckons before the squad visit the imposing Sheikh Zayed Stadium for the first time on Thursday evening, to practice under floodlights with the newly-designed pink Kookaburra ball which will be used for the 4-day fixture which begins on Sunday.
Dave Bracegirdle will be providing live ball-by-ball commentary of Nottinghamshire v MCC for BBC Radio Nottingham

Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1
Run time 134 minutes
Not for children
This picks up the saga of the charming but brutal Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassell) in 1973 after his return to France. His life from 1959-1973 is covered in Mesrine: Killer Instinct (Part 1), released a few weeks ago. This one shows his daring escapes, one from a courtroom, his hooking up with Mathieu Amalric (François Besse), known as the "king of escape," to escape from La Santé prison.
We find him with a new girlfriend, Italian Sylvia Jeanjacquot (the luscious Ludivine Sagnier), but he's still the same sociopathic personality, willing to kill in cold blood.
Here, however, he courts the press and becomes kind of a folk hero to the French, until he kidnaps, tortures, and leaves for dead the French journalist Jacques Dallier (Alain Fromager), who wrote an article about him that Jacques didn't like. When pictures of the naked, tortured, shot Dallier were published, the public turned against him.
This is actually a better-paced film than part 1, also directed by Jean-François Richet, even though it's 21 minutes longer. Still, Mesrine comes across as a much deeper character in this, especially with his Machiavellian way of controlling the press.

I think it could be really cool to be a squirrel. Not forever, of course (I rather like being a human), but it would be awesome to be able to turn into a squirrel at will. Oh, sure, other animals might be more exciting (owl, cheetah, seal), but every time I see a squirrel scampering here or there, I reflect for a second on how fun it would be. There's something about the tail, I think. Plus, they're cute and furry.

The Anoka County Board is stepping up efforts to make county government more efficient.
On the recommendation of County Administrator Jerry Soma and its Management Committee, the board has unanimously approved a new position – associate county administrator special projects – to spearhead the initiative.
The new position, a two-year assignment in county administration, has been filled by Mike Roff, a 30-year veteran of the Anoka County Corrections Department, where he most recently has been manager of county's adult corrections facilities.
Roff's job is to establish and lead the Lean and Kaizen efficiency processes in county government and develop a comprehensive training program for county employees to learn the Lean process, according to Soma.
In addition, Roff will be a consultant with various county departments to solve small problems and get very much involved to helping the department relook at its operations to meet the county mission, Soma said.
"The initiatives are designed to improve how we do our work and make us more efficient," he said.
County Commissioner Carol LeDoux, who has taken classes in the Lean process, will be mentoring the county effort, according to Soma,
Roff has already been working with the county license centers' staff to improve efficiency, Soma said.
"Mike has been easing into the new position," he said.
According to the Lean Enterprise Institute, the Lean process is to make maximum use of customer value while minimizing waste and creating more value for customers with fewer resources.
Lean is not just aimed at the manufacturing industry, it can be applied to every business and every process, including government, the Lean Enterprise Institute website states.
Government agencies have found that Lean methods enable them to better understand how their processes work, to quickly identify and implement improvements and to build a culture of continuous improvement.
Kaizen is a Japanese word for "improvement" and "change for the better" and is focused on the continuous improvement of processes in businesses, healthcare and government.
Kaizen, one facet of the Lean process, aims to eliminate waste by improving standardized activities and processes.
The Kaizen process has already been used Anoka County government.
In 2011, the Anoka County Human Services Division entered into a professional services agreement with Innovation Process Design LLC to conduct a three-month Kaizen child support-paternity redesign project involving the child support and county attorney's offices.
The project's focus was the need to meet the federal requirement for timely processing of paternity cases, according to information given to the county board.
Innovation Process Design, LLC provided a format and plan to assist county staff – child support and county attorney offices – who work with child support paternity cases to come up with solutions to enhance the process and quality of work, so the county could meet the federal timeline, which requires that 75 percent of cases are taken care of within 90 days, and to identify capacity needs.
The county board was told that to meet the federal standards, the child support office has 40 days to refer a case to the county attorney's office, then it has 30 days to approve the referral and 20 days to implement it.
Using the Kaizen process, 47 percent of the paternity cases were completed prior to the federal 90-day deadline compared with 12 percent before Kaizen was initiated, according to figures presented to the county board.
This percentage completion came from 36 cases where the service outcome was known out of 64 referrals that were received from Aug. 1, 2011 through Nov. 17, 2011.
There is no money for the associate administrator position in the 2012 county budget, Soma said.
But the position will be paid for from funds transferred to county administration from the corrections department in 2011 as well as other savings realized by county administration in past years, he said.
"There would be some county dollars supplemented by the budget team," Soma said.

Home > World News > Article
To the family next door, Armin Meiwes seemed the perfect neighbour. He mowed their lawn, repaired their car and even invited them round for dinner.
Other residents in the small German town of Rotenburg also believed there was nothing odd about the 42-year-old computer expert. On Wednesday, however, Meiwes appeared in court charged with killing - and then frying and eating - a man.
He admitted he had met a 43-year-old Berlin engineer, Bernd Juergen Brandes, after advertising on the internet, and had chopped him up and eaten him.
It was, Meiwes told the court on the first day of his trial for murder, something he had wanted to do for a long time.
In March 2001 Meiwes advertised on the internet for a "young well-built man, who wanted to be eaten". Mr Brandes replied.
On the evening of March 9, the two men went up to the bedroom in Meiwes' rambling timbered farmhouse. Mr Brandes swallowed 20 sleeping tablets and half a bottle of schnapps before Meiwes cut off Mr Brandes' penis, with his agreement, and fried it for both of them to eat.
Early the next day he finished off his victim by stabbing him in the neck with a large kitchen knife, kissing him first.
The cannibal then chopped Mr Brandes into pieces and put several bits of him in his freezer, next to a takeaway pizza, and buried the skull in his garden.
Over the next few weeks, he defrosted and cooked parts of Mr Brandes in olive oil and garlic, eventually consuming 20 kilograms of human flesh before police turned up at his door.
"With every bite, my memory of him grew stronger," he said.
Behind bars, Meiwes told detectives that his victim tasted of pork.
The unprecedented case has proved problematic for lawyers who discovered that cannibalism is not illegal in Germany.
Instead, they have charged Meiwes with murder for the purposes of sexual pleasure and with "disturbing the peace of the dead".
The accused, however, has a unique defence: that his victim agreed to be killed and eaten.
Mr Brandes was, outwardly at least, a successful, financially secure professional, with a live-in girlfriend who told German TV that they had split up after he revealed that he also liked men.
In fact, prosecutors said on Wednesday, Mr Brandes was suffering from a severe psychiatric disorder and "a strong desire for self-destruction".
After killing him, Meiwes met five other men who responded to his internet ad. He did not, however, kill them. In July 2001 a student stumbled on his chat-room and alerted authorities.

from Outer Banks, NC
We used this to replace carpet in the great room (living, dining) areas and hallways. It looks expensive. It's super easy to maintain and now I see our dog's hairs everywhere because it's dark which is great since I know where they are and can vacuum them, as opposed to the mixed color berber carpet which hid everything in a bad way! I have no idea why this is being discontinued because it has a modern look. I think if you are going with vinyl, the darker tones with no orange or red tones look a little more upscale in my opinion. I can't give an opinion on installation since I didn't do it. My husband has been in construction forever and he didn't seem to have an issue with it. FYI-the couple tiny spots on the floors in the pics are NOT part of the flooring, I just didn't vacuum immediately before taking the pics.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If you have to change electrical connections or control modules,
you can do so by modifying a drive block. The following example uses
ac6_example to
replace the three-phase electric source by a battery. To modify a
drive block, use the steps described in the following sections:
Open the ac6_example by typing
ac6_example in
the MATLAB Command window. The drive is fed by a three-phase voltage
Simulate the model (in accelerator mode) and observe the results.
Break the link between the drive block and the Electric Drives library. Right-click the block that you copied, and from the context menu select Library Link > Disable Link. Right-click the block again, and select Library Link > Break Link.
Right-click the drive block and select Look Under Mask.
Delete the three-phase electrical connections, the diode rectifier, and the braking chopper.
Remove the AC Blocks
Add two Connection Ports blocks from the Fundamental Blocks/Elements library, and then connect them to the positive and negative terminals of the Three-Phase Inverter block. Add a Simulink® Ground block and connect it to the output port Conv.
Save the model as
On the diagram, delete the three-phase source. Replace it by a 300Vdc/1Ah/NiMH Battery block and a 100 µF capacitor block connected in parallel.
Connect the Conv output of the block to a Terminator block. Remove the DC bus voltage blocks that are in the Demux block.
Remove DC Bus Measurement in the Demux Block
Add a Bus Selector block
and then select the Voltage (V) bus signal coming
from the
m output of the Battery block.
Observe the Battery Voltage
The overall simulation results are shown at the next figure.
Simulation Results
Because you have broken the link from the drive block to the Electric Drives library and customized the block contents, the synchronization of the GUI parameters with the block parameters underneath the block might differ from usual block behavior.
The parameter synchronization process relies on three assumptions:
The GUI expects the presence of specific blocks with predetermined mask type names
The GUI expects the presence of specific blocks with predetermined mask variable names
The GUI is nonmodifiable
If you rename the Mask type parameter of
expected blocks, or remove blocks with expected mask types, the parameters
in the GUI that are associated with these blocks will display
If you rename or remove an expected mask variable name, the
parameter in the GUI that is associated with this variable will display
A warning dialog appears every time the synchronization process fails to find blocks with expected mask types or blocks with expected mask variable names. You can disable the display of these warnings by right-clicking on the drive block, selecting Mask Parameters from the context menu, and clearing the Show mask synchronization warnings check box.
As a general guideline, as long as you do not alter or remove any mask type or mask variable name from the blocks composing the drive block, the GUI will behave exactly as expected.
You can add blocks or subsystems inside the drive block, but the associated parameters will not be available in the drive block's GUI. You have to use the Diagram > Mask > Look Under Mask menu item to access these parameters.

Cedar Point Set To Reopen Monday
Cedar Point is set to reopen Monday morning, after Ohio's most popular amusement park closed through the weekend because of a water main break.
Park officials closed Cedar Point on Saturday after the water main break in the city of Sandusky disrupted its primary water supply.
They say a lack of reliable water poses safety risks. Visitors' tickets will be honored on future dates this season.
To celebrate the park's reopening, Cedar Point says guests can buy a one-day admission ticket now through Sunday, and get a free Soak City ticket.
The one day Cedar Point ticket must be used by Sunday. The free Soak City ticket is good through September 1.
Cedar Point sees more than 3 million visitors a year, making it the most visited amusement park in Ohio.
According to the website of owner Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., Cedar Point is believed to be the largest seasonal amusement park in the U.S. That's measured by the number of rides and attractions and the hourly ride capacity.

|Effect of Bariatric Surgery "Digestive Adaptations III" on Clinical, Laboratory and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
|Brief Summary
Introduction- Primary prevention is the main strategy to control the global burden of cardiovascular disease. In clinical practice, food restriction represents a valuable preventive resource. However, low adhesion rates and diet abandonment are considered important obstacles in treatment. Considering the discovery of new markers and mechanisms that relate food restriction and to all other cardiovascular risk factors, it is possible and necessary to seek for efficient alternatives to increase adherence and effectiveness of the preventive dietetic treatment. Surgical procedures can be used as a mechanism to promote food restriction. The bariatric surgery have gained importance not only for its potential application in obesity treatment but also in the control of cardiovascular risk factors refractory to medical treatment. Among bariatric operations, there is a group called digestive adaptations III that has specific characteristics.This surgical intervention modifies intestinal tract by reducing gastric volume and performing an anastomosis between ileum and stomach, creating a bipartition in the gut. This structural modification promotes satiety and increased insulin sensitivity more intensely than other surgical strategies. The effects of Digestive Adaptation III surgery on cardiovascular risk factors and on markers related to the development of atherosclerosis are not yet established.
Objectives - To investigate the effect of Digestive Adaptation III surgery on clinical and laboratory parameters and cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods - Twenty diabetics volunteers refractory to medical treatment and who have abdominal obesity will be included in the study. Of this group, half will be randomly selected to perform the Digestive Adaptations III surgery. All participants will undergo clinical and biochemical tests on the same occasions, up to thirty days before surgery, three twenty-four months after surgery. On these occasions besides the lipid profile and glucose, we will determine incretin hormones, adipokines and assess the amount of epicardial fat.
