Novartis chairman
forgoes $78M payout
Swiss drugmaker Novartis AG has agreed with its outgoing chairman to scrap plans for a farewell non-compete deal that could have netted him up to 72 million francs ($78 million). The announcement followed criticism from some of the company's shareholders and Swiss politicians.
Higher rates boost
Marriott's 4Q
Marriott International Inc. turned a profit in its fourth quarter, driven by an increased number of rooms in its portfolio and higher occupancy rates. The company earned $181 million, or 56 cents per share, in the three-month period ending Dec. 28, up from $141 million, or 41 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 2 percent.
Beechcraft emerges

Kansas planemaker Beechcraft, formerly Hawker Beechcraft, emerged from bankruptcy protection free of much of its debt and its unprofitable business jet operations. The company is now focused on its turboprop and piston aircraft, and on its military work.
Dell earnings off
31 percent in 4Q
Dell Inc. on Tuesday posted another quarter of declining sales and profits, deepening a downturn that disenchanted shareholders and culminated in the slumping personal computer maker's recent decision to take its stock off Wall Street in a $24.4 billion deal. The proposed sale, announced just two weeks ago, diminished the importance of the numbers released Tuesday.
Judge OKs another

A federal judge on Tuesday approved Transocean Ltd.'s agreement with the Justice Department to pay $1 billion in civil penalties for its role in the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Last week, a different judge approved Transocean's criminal settlement with the federal government. The Swiss-based company pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and will pay an additional $400 million in criminal penalties.

2006 GMC Sierra Custom - Hitman
An Assassin on the Show Circuit
In April of 2007, I received a random e-mail, from a random guy, who asked if we wanted to be a part of his truck build. He mentioned wanting to be featured in the magazine upon the truck's completion. After replying to his inquiry, I received yet another e-mail asking what it would take to be on the cover. Having been asked the question around 2,000 times, I quickly rattled off the necessary modifications, with the top of my list being a custom paintjob. His response was "OK, I'll do that." Having heard that scenario around 1,985 times, I dismissed the e-mail as another guy with big dreams. Almost a year to the day, I stand corrected, as Dave Timm of Springfield, Illinois, has himself a Truckin' magazine cover.
It takes a rare breed of man to want something so badly that he'll do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. That's Dave, a hard-working police officer, SWAT team member, and explosive team specialist-who almost every night after work, builds trucks with his brother Brian. Their shop was appropriately named 2 Brothers Custom Trucks, located in Springfield. Together, the Timm brothers have successfully built dozens of trucks for local truck enthusiasts and dealerships. When it came time to build his own truck, Dave didn't take the task lightly, and with credit card in hand, he went on an aftermarket shopping spree.
Sticking with our original conversation, Dave sought out to find a shop in the area that could pull off a custom paintjob worthy of a cover truck. Dave found Jeff Schroeder of Attitude Airbrushing in Springfield. Jeff is the owner and artist at Attitude, so he was able to guarantee the end result the Timm brothers were going after. After dropping off the all-white GMC to Attitude, the truck was quickly transformed into a menacing rolling canvas. Before any pigments were sprayed, Jeff added a Street Scene front bumper cover, Street Scene bolt-on roll pan, and a SnugTop SL lid. Under Jeff's watchful care, the truck received vibrant colors from RM. White, candy red, yellow, silver, and blue were all applied to the truck. The key to this truck was Jeff's airbrushing work. For more on that, check out the full paint how-to on page 102.
Reassembling the truck, Dave added '06 Chevy taillights, Street Scene Speed Grilles, and Denali-style projector headlights. The end result is a truck worthy of the Hitman title. Trying to make a show deadline, the Timm brothers actually came to Jeff's shop and tore down the suspension while some of the paint and body were taking place. That's dedication.
Starting with the suspension, 2 Brothers teamed up with Off-Road Direct to get the '06 GMC Sierra up in the air. Dave and Brian welded on an Off-Road Direct front solid axle conversion with a Dana 44 to the 4WD, then proceeded to lift the truck a total of 14 inches with leaf springs. Dual Sway-a-Way reservoir shocks keep the ride as comfortable as possible, and a custom front sway bar keeps the body roll down. The Off-Road Direct solid axle kit came with optional dual Sway-a-Way steering stabilizers aiding in turning. Out back, Dave ordered lift leaf springs from Off-Road Direct and bolted those on for added height. Custom rear shock mounts allowed Dave to bolt on the dual Sway-a-Way shocks and coiled yellow diff vent hoses front and rear provide the old-school look the Timm brothers were going for. With a serious lift under the truck, Dave was able to add brand-new 20-inch RBP T904 chrome wheels with red inserts, which were mounted onto huge 40-inch Toyo M/T tires. The look and proportions of a standard cab lifted on 40s brings back an era of lifted Toyotas with 42 Rancho neon-green shocks. Sporting killer paint and a tall suspension, 2 Brothers began to look at making the GMC spin those Toyo tires.
Under the painted hood lies a 5.3L V-8 equipped with a supercharger from Vortech. The blower receives air from an AEM Brute Force intake with Dryflow filter and forces 6 psi of intercooled boost into the combustion chambers. Fuel is supplied from an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and high-flow aluminum fuel rails. Dynatech long-tube stainless headers expel the gases into Cherry Bomb exhaust, which was bent by Ken's Auto Repair. The dual exhaust exits out the passenger side, thanks to two chromed rectangular tips. Meanwhile, the tuning chores are handled by a Diablo tuner, and helping the tires spin much easier are 4.56 gears stuffed into the front and rear differentials with Pro Comp covers. Now that Dave could outrun the law-well, at least his brother Brian's police car-the 2 Brothers crew looked to make the interior shine.
Dave has been designing and building killer audio systems for more than a decade, so his personal truck was no exception. Custom door panels kick off the interior and feature two sets of Treo Engineering RSX 6-1/2-inch components, two Treo RSX 5-1/4-inch components, and four 1-inch dome Treo tweeters. The door panels were covered in suede and feature the exposed Treo crossovers with Escalade chrome door handles. Powering the door speakers is a Treo Engineering 80.4 amplifier. Supplying the bass are three Treo Engineering TSX 15-inch subs in a pass-through box behind the seat, which receive power from a Treo 2000.1 amp. Mounted into the suede headliner is a SAVV 10.4 monitor. Sending the signals to the amps and SAVV monitor is a Kenwood 8019 head unit and DVD player, which are powered by a Kinetik battery. Dave purchased all of his audio gear at Benchmark Auto Sound and Security in Springfield.
The stock GMC dash bezel features painted pieces with two skulls airbrushed by Attitude Airbrushing. Other cool features of the interior are the US Speedo gauges, a triple A-pillar pod from Auto Meter was stuffed with Auto Meter boost, fuel pressure, and air/fuel ratio gauges, and the two-tone leather and suede seat covers from Katzkin.
The initial build only took six weeks, with minor touch-ups and mods happening after it debuted at the Springfield Jamboree. One e-mail lead to one face-to-face meeting, which lead to one flight, capping off one cover photo shoot. Dave was quick to thank his wife Anne for her understanding, little Madisyn for playing monster trucks with him on the coffee table, his brother Brian for working hard to make this dream come true, and all of the companies involved that supported the build. It's determination and passion that drives Dave, and it's this kind of resilience that will keep the world of custom trucks alive for a whole new generation.
Editor's Note:
Special thanks to Brian for his detonation skills, Dave for asking "Hey do you want to blow stuff up for the cover?" and to the Sangamon County Sheriff Department for being so cool when it came time to explode things.

Students present research at Butler Undergraduate Research Conference
Four Muskingum College students presented their research findings at the Butler Undergraduate Research Conference (URC) held April 15 at Butler University in Butler, Indiana.
Sarah Hickman '05 presented Don Segundo Sombra; el gaucho místico (the mystical gaucho).
Adam Milazzotto '05 presented La historia y el mito en la novela (The history and the myth in the novel): El embrujo de Shanghai.
Caitlin Lewis '05 presented "Flaubert: L'Expansion de l'Expression et de la Signification du Langage dans Un Coeur Simple (Flaubert: The Expansion of the Expression and Signification of Language in A Simple Heart.)
Fabrice Renucci '05 presented The Emersonian Law of Compensation: A Western Synonym for Karma.
The students were sponsored at the conference by Muskingum faculty members Assistant Professor of Spanish Dr. Marla Williams, Associate Professor of English Dr. Richard Williamson and Associate Professor of French Dr. Jean Morris.
The Butler Undergraduate Research Conference began in 1988 as an outlet for undergraduate students to share their research and creative endeavor experiences with interested students and faculty. In a typical year, the Butler URC brings together approximately 600 students from more than 30 midwest colleges and universities.
At the conference, students present summaries of their work, in sessions organized by topic. The presentations by the Muskingum students were the result of their work on their senior seminars, which are the capstones of their studies in their academic majors.

While the economy has surpassed its prerecession peak and is 16% larger than it was a decade ago in real terms, real median household income fell by 7% from 2000 to 2010, per data from the Census Bureau. Additionally, the median household income, $51,006, is lower than that of 1997, when it came to $51,705. It's no wonder folks in the the typical U.S. household have felt they aren't getting ahead.
The Pew Research Center cataloged the issues facing the middle class in a report (PDF) titled, "Fewer, Poorer, Gloomier: The Lost Decade of the Middle Class." Reflecting the above-noted decline in the median household income, 85% of the middle class say that it is "more difficult" to maintain their lifestyle today than it was 10 years ago. Just 9% said it was "less difficult," and 4% said it was "about the same."
There are also fewer people in the middle class. Pew defines the middle class as households with incomes of at least two-thirds of the median income (adjusted for household size, as that has changed over the years) to no more than double the median income. This includes households with incomes from $39,418 to $118,255 in 2010, according to Pew. According to that definition, the middle class constituted 51% of all adults in 2011, down from 61% in 1970. The middle-income tier commanded 45% of the nation's income in 2011, down from 62% from 1970.
Some have moved up, while others have moved down. The upper-income tier rose to 20% of all adults in 2011 from 14% in 1970, whereas the lower-income tier increased to 29% of the adult population, up from 25%. The upper-income tier takes in 46% of national income, up from 29%, while the share of national income going to the lower tier was 9%, down from 10% four decades prior. So the nation has become more polarized when it comes to income and wealth distribution, with more haves and have-nots vs. those in the middle.
What does this mean for economic growth going forward? First, one might look at the growing ranks of the upper-income tier, and construe this as good news -- and it is, in the sense that there are more of them and they earn more money as a group. Still, on an individual basis, their incomes have dipped in real terms. Indeed, from 2000 to 2010, the median income of lower-income households fell by 8% (not annualized), middle-income households lost 5% and upper-income households saw their income decrease by 6%. Aggregate consumer incomes grew over that decade because the population increased.
Consumption patterns may shift as well. Middle-class consumers tend to be, well, consumers. They have more buying power than lower-households, they consume more and they save far less as a percentage of their incomes than do upper-income households. This may have restrained consumer spending from what it would have otherwise been. In other words, having a hypothetically bigger middle class with growing middle-class household incomes might mean a stronger economy than our reality of a growing upper class with shrinking upper-income household incomes.
What is the likely culprit, and how can it be "fixed?" Since incomes across the class spectrum have fallen in real terms, it pays to look at demographics of where incomes have shrunk the most.
The determining factor, it seems, is education. Those with a college degree have seen their incomes dip only modestly in the past decade, while their share in the combined middle- and upper-income tiers shrank by just 1 percentage point. It was this group, moreover, which constituted those moving from the middle- to the upper-income tier. On the other hand, those with just a high school diploma, or less education than that, have seen their incomes shrink the most. They also dropped out of the middle class in disproportionate numbers.
Education is needed to compete for jobs in an increasingly knowledge-based economy. Given globalization, a more educated U.S. workforce with better skills than our competitors is needed to expand our nation's share of global income and wealth, and thus grow our economy.
Yet education is an individual decision that can affect not just a household, but our economy and our national competitiveness as well. The good news is that college enrollment has increased in recent years, perhaps attributable to the weak economy. Still, recent trends for younger adults don't help those in later stages of adulthood who may lack a college degree -- and it is very hard for policymakers to fix workforce education and training by decree or any amount of quantitative easing.

One of our core values at Rackspace is "Treat Rackers Like Friends and Family." This value is a huge part of who we are as individuals, and it's something deeply embedded within the fabric of our company. That's why it's pretty common to hear stories about Rackers taking care of each other. What we've learned over the last few years is that when we band together, we can create something of value that's greater than ourselves.
Just recently, hundreds of Rackers joined forces to help one of our own after a car accident in early August left Rackspace Online Sales Team Member Krystal Cantu badly injured. Doctors were forced to amputate part of her right arm. At the time of the accident Krystal was one week shy of competing in her first CrossFit competition through the Racker Fitness on-site health program.
In the days after Krystal's surgery, a team of 11 Rackers across different departments rallied together to organize a barbecue fundraiser to help offset her medical expenses. Penned "Krystal Strong," the campaign netted an astounding $30,000 in donations over a three-week period that culminated in a company-wide barbecue fundraiser on August 28.
On that day, around 50 Rackers arrived bright and early at our headquarters in San Antonio to prep the event space. Krystal and her family were also on-site throughout the afternoon, when volunteers helped grill burgers, sell Krystal Strong t-shirts and lead a series of CrossFit workout sessions.
It was amazing to see that some of those volunteers used their company-allotted vacation time to take the entire day off from work in order to focus exclusively on the fundraising effort.
Donations for Krystal Strong are still accepted online.
Another Rackspace department put together a bake sale to raise funds. And Rackspace President Lew Moorman's family helped organize an art project, where Rackers and their families painted their handprints on a canvas to show solidarity.
There's a lot of amazing stuff going on at Rackspace. It's difficult to define what makes a Racker, but the one thing that connects us is our commitment to treating each other like friends and family.
The Krystal Strong fundraiser developed organically thanks to a group of Rackers who decided to take care of each other during a time of need. In the words of Krystal herself, "Rackers are amongst the best family and friends you can ever have."

Bucs pitcher honored as Student-Athlete of the Weekfrom staff reports
SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- East Tennessee State junior right-handed pitcher Trevor Smith (Newport, Tenn.) has been honored as this week's TIAA-CREF SoCon Student-Athlete of the Week.
Smith appeared in all four of ETSU's games this week, allowing no earned runs on two hits while striking out three batters over 3.2 innings of work against Elon and 12th-ranked Tennessee.
This has been a continuing trend for Smith, who has not allowed an earned run in his last six appearances, allowing just five hits and striking out six in that span. For the season, Smith leads the Bucs with a 1.72 ERA.
Smith has posted a 3.77 as a math major. He is a regular member of the dean's list, the Southern Conference Honor Roll and the Buccaneer Honor Roll.
TIAA-CREF, with over $290 billion in assets under management, is a Fortune 100 company and a diversified national financial services organization, including the premier retirement system for higher education and research employees. Further information can be found at http://www.tiaa-cref.org <http://www.tiaa-cref.org/> .
ETSU return to Southern Conference play as the Bucs host Western Carolina in a three-game weekend set. The Bucs and Catamounts open their series tonight at 7 from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, while Saturday's game is scheduled for 2 p.m. and Sunday's game will be played at 1 p.m.
Tonight's game can be heard in the Tri-Cities area on 910-AM WJCW and will also be broadcast on the ETSU athletic website, www.ETSUBucs.com.

Week 2
When it comes to feeding your baby, experts say breast is best. Here's why:
- Breast milk provides perfect nutrition for growing babies.
- Breastfeeding protects babies from infections and SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome.
- Substances in breast milk help boost babies' brainpower.
- Breastfeeding is free.
- Nursing lowers a mother's risk for breast cancer, diabetes, and thinning bones.
- Breastfeeding can help new moms lose their pregnancy weight by burning an extra 500 calories daily.
Breastfeeding isn't right for every new mother, though. If you're formula feeding, here's what to know:
- Formula provides the basic nutrients that babies need, but it lacks some of the extra nutrition found in breast milk.
- For most babies, an iron-fortified cow's milk formula is best.
- Babies with allergies may need a soy or allergy-free formula.
- Newer formulas contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which may help the brain and eyes develop.
Your Baby's Development This Week
Your baby's new world is as amazing to him as he is to you! Here's what he can see and hear.
What Baby Sees
- Your baby can see to both sides and is starting to focus on objects in the center of his vision.
- He likes to look at objects held 8 to 15 inches away.
- Your baby's pupils are getting larger, so he can see different shades of light.
- Babies like sharp contrasts, such as bull's-eyes and black-and-white stripes.
What Baby Hears
- Babies prefer the sound of human voices, especially yours.
- Your baby already knows the sound of your voice.
- Your baby can also tell which direction your voice is coming from.
Week 2 Tips
- Most babies this age feed about every two hours. If your baby sleeps more than four or five hours, wake him up and offer breast or bottle.
- To calm a crying baby, gently rub his back, walk with him, or rock him gently in your arms.
- A baby who can't be comforted may be bothered by something in the diet. If you're nursing, try avoiding caffeine and foods that can make your baby gassy -- such as milk, cabbage, or broccoli.
- Keep diapers and changing supplies everywhere you go for on-the-go changes.
- Babies can get diaper rash. To soothe a red bottom, let the diaper area air dry and apply a zinc oxide diaper rash ointment at every changing.
- Stimulate your baby's vision by passing a stuffed animal or toy back and forth a few inches in front of his eyes.
- Your voice has star power! Talk, sing, and read to your baby. Even though he can't say so, he'll love it.

Music filled the air in Coopers Field on Saturday as revellers enjoyed a family day out at the seventh Pewsey Music Festival.
Crowds were treated to an acoustic set by Plummie from Swindon band The Racket, who kicked things off on the second stage shortly before the main stage opened with On Deaf Ears.
Almost 1,000 music lovers flocked to the one-day festival behind The Coopers Arms, which was headlined by The John E Vistic Experience.
Organiser Liz Boden said: "The weather was a bit miserable at the start but people still came.
"I think that they'd already decided that this was how they were going to spend the day regardless of the weather.
"It always has a good mix of ages. One lady came last year with her family and she said one of her elderly relatives was really not looking forward to it last year because he thought it would be all pop music, but he loved it and couldn't wait to come back.
"There was a couple from Cornwall who came a few years ago to see a certain band and they've been back every year since, so I think it's growing in popularity, not just locally but within the wider community."
In previous years there has been an open mic contest but this was replaced this year with a second stage to showcase local artists, including Mark Nelson, Chris Hunt and Billy Green. There was something for all the family at this year's event, with stilt-walking bouncers, a mega slide, a bouncy castle and children's entertainment by Mad Pete and his magic show.
Visitors could also enjoy a bite to eat from the various food outlets including Indian food from Tale of Spice, a hot dog and chip van and an Italian stall.
Ms Boden said: "The second stage worked really well because just as the acts were finishing on the main stage, someone was starting on the second so there were performers playing during the main stage changeovers.
"The giant bouncers came in just as AJ Live started and they were so funny, you couldn't miss them.
"The children loved them and they went and spoke to our actual security and made them look tiny."

HOUSTON - I'm not much of a thrill seeker so when the station presented me the opportunity to fly with the Blue Angels, I said yes because of the opportunity. After all, how many of you reading this article have been in a jet going 6.2 Gs?
The day starts with the training. The most important lesson is how to breathe once the jet starts putting on the G-Force. No can can do the Hick Maneuver and look good, as you see from the video, but it prevents you from passing out and I did it well. One of my goals was to not pass out and I'm proud I was awake the entire one hour flight.
Once I climbed into the F-18 Hornet I was told what I couldn't touch. There are four different ways to eject out of the back seat and all are marked with brown and yellow colors. It's a little unnerving realizing I had that kind of power and also wondering, "Well, where do I put my hands?" The ejection latches are right, left, beneath and in front of me. My trainer Sargent Storm says, "Brown and yellow will kill a fellow." So I kept my hands on my lap or on the side bars.
The question I get asked the most is did I throw up? I did not and I'm really happy I accomplished my second goal. I did learn that the people who do throw up on the flights are sensitive to movement or may even have a mild case of motion sickness.
It's indescribable what the movement feels like, the pressure on your body, and the split second turns. These movements affect people differently and the Blue Angels have plenty of "bags" in the cockpit if someone has to throw up. The person who went before me threw up four times. It's not about being strong or tough, it's how your body is wired to motion.
It's a once in a lifetime experience and I will never forget it. I'm blessed to have the job I do, and the opportunities it provides.
If you want to see my pictures from the flight, visit Anthony's Facebook page.

March 29 Symposium Explores Ranch Nature Photography for Fun and Profit
KINGSVILLE, Texas — Images for Conservation Fund (ICF) and Texas Agrilife Extension, in conjunction with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, present Nature Photography Symposium: Ranch Nature Photography for Fun and Profit March 29 in Kingsville. The symposium is designed to educate both amateur and professional photographers as well as landowners on the details involved in developing dynamic settings on private land for optimal photography.
ICF is a Texas-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a sustainable, self-funded wildlife conservation industry based upon nature photography tourism. This new industry will establish exciting nature photography destinations while simultaneously generating significant income for the private landowners who lease them. To raise public awareness of these opportunities for both landowners and photographers, ICF has created the Pro-Tour of Nature Photography and a number of supporting events.
The day-long symposium on Saturday will follow the photo contest launch party Friday night, which will team pre-selected landowners from the Coastal Bend with professional photographers. The Launch Party will kick off the month-long 2008 Pro-Tour of Nature Photography: Coastal Bend of Texas competition to run April 1-30 in a 19-county region along the middle Texas coast. Both the launch party and symposium are open to the public.
The symposium will begin with a morning session that both the landowners and photographers will attend to learn about the industry of photo tourism. Following a networking lunch, the afternoon session will target the two groups separately. The photographers will learn techniques for capturing and editing images from award-winning photographers while the landowners will learn about marketing and planning from experienced landowners and tourism experts.
The symposium will be held 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. March 29 at the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Student Union Building. Admission is $75 and includes lunch. The launch party will begin at 6:30 p.m. March 28 at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Center at the Texas A&M University-Kingsville. Admission is $60 and includes dinner. For more information or to register for the events please visit the ICF Web site.
Key sponsors for the 2008 Pro-Tour of Nature Photography include:
AEP Texas, International Bank of Commerce — Official 2008 Pro-Tour Bank, Gulf States Toyota — Official 2008 Pro-Tour Vehicle, City of Corpus Christi Convention & Visitors Bureau, Heart of Texas Landscape & Irrigation, Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Center, Copyzone, Digett Marketing, Publishing and Web Management, Ellis Koeneke Ramirez, LLP, Harvey Weil Foundation, Texas State Aquarium, Valero Energy, Bruce & Gail Hoffman, Wachovia Securities, Barry H.

text: Punchline fails to get laugh - The Province October 5, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Fuming Caps lose game and goalie over phantom blow Marc Weber The punch was phantom, say the Vancouver Whitecaps, but it has them facing very real adversity. Vancouver trails the Montreal Impact 1-0 heading into today's decisive second leg of the USL-1 semifinal at Swangard Stadium and they will likely be without goalkeeper Jay Nolly, who was shown a straight red card in Friday's opener in front of 12,000 fans at Saputo Stadium. Referee Steve De Piero ejected Nolly in the 52nd minute for throwing a punch at Impact midfielder Antonio Ribeiro. The multi-player skirmish erupted when Ribeiro crashed into Nolly after the Whitecaps 'keeper bobbled a bouncing ball. Ribeiro, who received a yellow card for his role, scored the winner in minute 61, beating backup Tyler Baldock from close range. "You fight all year to get to the playoffs, you are in the semifinal and you have your game destroyed by the referee," said Whitecaps head coach Teitur Thordarson, whose side was outshot 14-8. "This is not normal. "The linesman said that [Nolly] punched [Ribeiro] and that was definitely not the case. The referee wrote that in the report, but I didn't accept that ... then he changed it to say 'attempted to punch,' but [Nolly] never did that either." The Whitecaps have appealed the red card, but it is not a league decision -- it comes down to De Piero overturning his ruling. There is video evidence of the incident, and it appears to show Nolly forcefully slapping away Ribeiro's hand that was in his face. Ribeiro told the Montreal Gazette that Nolly grabbed him by the throat. According to Nolly, it was all overblown. "I pounced on the ball and [Ribeiro] just clobbered me," said Nolly. "He was grabbing other people so I went up and grabbed him. He stuck his hand in my face and I swatted it away, and pretty much figured it was over. "I think [the officials] pretty much blew the game. I didn't throw a punch. It was just a scrum. "Obviously, I shouldn't have put myself in that situation, and I felt terrible for the team. I don't ever want to put them in a spot like that." "That spot" was being down to 10 men for 40 minutes with a goalkeeper who's making his professional debut. And "that spot" being a do-or-die game for a berth into the championship final without the support of one of the league's top shot stoppers. Whitecaps defender Jeff Clarke said the referee "ruined the game," but he played up the positives, calling Friday a big moral victory and saying that his side wouldn't make excuses. "To play a top team like that and keep them to one goal, down a man for 40 minutes, it's a huge victory," he said. "We left the field very upbeat, and now all we have to do is win at home. "If we can't do that, we don't deserve to go to the final." firstname.lastname@example.com © The Vancouver Province 2008 Previous Next

Business News of Tuesday, 8 January 2013
Source: GNA
The European Union (EU) in Ghana has disbursed close to 16 million Euros to the Government of Ghana, under Ghana's Multi- Donor Budget Support framework.
This is made up of 10 million Euros sector Budget Support for the Ministry of Health and 5.65 million Euros General Budget SupportIn the framework of the EU's existing financial agreement with Ghana, 10 Million Euros equivalent of GHc 25, 000, 000 released to the Ministry of Health would support the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) Accelerated Framework and Country Action Plan developed to combat maternal mortality.
A release issued to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Tuesday in Accra, said the framework constituted the first tranche of a programme amounting to 52 million Euros or GHc 130,000,000.
It said that it would also support improvements in skilled birth attendance, emergency obstetric and new born care as well as family planning measures.
The statement said that with the additional funding, Ghana would be able to reduce the unacceptable high burden of mothers dying while giving birth to 185 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2015.
According to the release, the funding for maternal health comes in addition to the 400 million Euros, the EU was providing to Ghana over the period of 2007 to 2013.
The statement said the money was mobilized as additional funding for countries that were "most off-track in achieving some of the MDG's."
It noted that "the EU has also been providing General Budget Support to the Government of Ghana in the framework of the Multi Donor Budget Support ( MDBS) with the aim of contributing to sustainable growth and poverty reduction in Ghana, including the achievement of the MDG's.
"The EU is pleased to have effected another disbursement of 5.65 million Euro equivalents to GHc 14,000,000 to complement Government's own domestically generated revenues and to facilitate the implementation of the national budget and its associated public expenditure plans to sustainably reduce poverty".
The statement said that in July 2012, the EU also released 24 million Euros from the MGD-contract to the Governments Treasury account, in accordance with the MDBS procedure.

It was just another day for Julie and Chris Hall as they headed off to work after dropping the kids off at school. It turned out to not be another typical day, but a devastating one to the Hall family. While Julie Hall was at work at D'Amico Chiropractic in Fortuna, she had a stroke and was rushed to Redwood Memorial Hospital. She is now at UCSF Medical Center in a coma while a devastated family sits by her side awaiting a miracle.
There will be a pancake breakfast in her honor on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon at Hydesville Elementary School. All proceeds will go to support the uncovered medical and travel costs for Julie and her family. Tickets cost $5 per person and they will be holding a Dutch auction. They will be accepting any donations at the event for the family and the Dutch auction.
Julie Hall has two children: Dylan, age 14, who attends eighth grade at Fortuna Town School and travels back and forth to see his mother via friends, and Olivia, age 11, who attends fifth grade at Hydesville Elementary and is on independent study so she can be with her mother. The children and husband, Chris Hall, are by Julie's side waiting for her to as Chris describes, "Open those beautiful eyes and give one of your smart witty comments I so love."
Chris and Julie Hall have been married for 12 years . "We fell in love the first time we saw each other," Chris Hall said. "We are each other's soul mates. This has been such a difficult time. Julie is only 32 years old."
Chris Hall is a truck driver for CJ's Fire Support; he was helping a friend move some horses when he received the call that Julie suffered a stroke and was on the way to Redwood Memorial Hospital. "I was in shock and rushed to be by her side," he said.
Chris Hall flew to UCSF with his wife after her stroke and has been living in San Francisco since February 4th with the help of family and friends putting them up in hotels around the hospital. The family returned home for a quick visit last weekend to recharge, but have returned to be by Julie's side.
"My mother and father brought their RV down and we are staying in it while we wait for Julie to recover," Chris Hall said.
Chris Hall keeps loved ones informed and connected as he leaves messages to his wife on his Facebook page. Hall reflects on a recent visit: "We had a great day with Julie. Nice to spend the day with her. We will be back tomorrow and the next to be by her side. She is such a strong willed woman. She is healthy and is loved by all the staff that has had the opportunity to care for her while at UCSF." Hall continues, "Someday our prayers will be answered. We will wait until then."
Friends and family have used the site to deal with their own suffering and love for Julie. Mandy Marquez who planned the pancake breakfast, reflects "Hi Julie. Tonight I showed up at the barn to ride welcomed by Chris's truck in the driveway. For a split second I was thrilled that we would get to ride together and catch up. Then it hit me like a punch in the stomach. I took off on that lonely ride saying prayers that you will soon wake up and join me again." Marquez who has two daughters of her own shared, "I lay next to my girls each night just thinking about Olivia and Dylan and how much they need to feel your touch again. Please open those beautiful eyes soon, your kids and Chris needs you so much!"
Updates from Chris Hall report his wife has had the drainage tube removed from her head, the breathing tube removed from her throat, and has responded to tests with spontaneous movements.
There is an account set up at US Bank 'Julie Hall Donation Fund' and donations can be made at any bank branch. The donations will help the family with expenses.

ARCATA -- An unexpected source got the Tigers going. Then, the usual suspects took over to sink the Mariners' ship.
Edgar Madero's 52-yard kickoff return kick-started the Big 5 champions as fourth-seeded Arcata scored 39 unanswered first-half points en route to a convincing 65-27 win over No. 13 seed Moreau Catholic in the first round of the North Coast Section Division 4 playoffs on Saturday night.
"That's a lineman's dream," Arcata head coach Dave Filippini said. "That's just the way our season has been going."
And what was going through Madero's mind as he booked it down the Moreau sideline and into the end zone?
"Run," he said with a smile from ear-to-ear. "Just run as fast as I can."
It was quite the turnaround for the Tigers, who moments earlier had just allowed a 30-yard pick-six to the Mariners' Jason Hinton.
But Moreau's slender 7-6 lead lasted all of 11 seconds.
The unpredictable turn of events was exactly what Arcata needed.
"It definitely got us going," senior running back Aleric Stone said of Madero's kickoff return. "Anything we do on defense or special teams we take out with us on offense."
Stone certainly did his part, carrying the ball 17 times for 238 yards. He had touchdown runs of 16, 27, 28 and 80 yards against the Mariners, routinely going up the middle and then breaking loose in the secondary.
"We got him to adjust to some off-tackle stuff tonight," Filippini said of Stone. "Aleric was fantastic. He ran like he was possessed tonight."
And Stone's backfield mate, junior Tyler Keil, wasn't too shabby himself, recording touchdown runs -- both on toss sweeps -- from 13 and 54 yards out during Arcata's first-half barrage. He finished with 146 yards on just 12 carries.
"We studied our film, looked for our places and tried to take advantage against a team who was stacking nine in the box," Filippini said. "Then it was just kind of the same formula we've been using all year."
All of the Tigers' yardage came on the ground, with quarterback Chad Blickenstaff's lone pass being the interception return in the first quarter.
"Arcata's a very good team," Moreau Catholic head coach Andrew Cotter said. "The way they run the ball, they're going to be a tough team to beat in Division 4. We had some things go against us and it's tough to overcome stuff like that."
Hinton added two touchdown runs of 60-plus yards in the third quarter. He finished with 133 yards on the ground on 12 carries and caught two passes for 42 yards.
"He's our guy," Cotter said of his sophomore running back. "He's going to be playing this game for a long time."
With their 10th consecutive win, the Tigers advance to the quarterfinals in Division 4 and will host No. 5 seed Fort Bragg -- who beat 12th-seeded Piedmont 14-0 Friday night -- next Saturday at the Redwood Bowl at 7 p.m.
The Mariners end their season at 5-6 overall.

Regulation of GPCR trafficking, signaling and in vivo functions
The long term goal of our research is to reveal novel regulatory pathways controlling G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) functions at the molecular and cellular levels and to understand how these regulatory mechanisms influence GPCR-elicited physiological functions in vivo, so as to provide new insights for therapeutic strategies. Current projects include: 1) regulation of adrenergic receptor signaling and functions in native neurons exploiting gene knock-in and knock-out mice; 2) functions of the alpha2A adrenergic receptor in neurodegenerative diseases; 3) regulation of adenosine-mediated synaptic plasticity and behavior.

I have wanted to live in Miami since 2003. I may finally have a chance to move there soon, and I am excited. When I first went to visit, I noticed a lot of places that were hiring wanted ppl to be bilingual. I guess everyone needs to enroll in a spanish class.
The best places to me were Miami Lakes, Hialeah, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Homestead. The not so good places were Opa Locka, Overtown, Carol City, and Lil Haiti (North Miami).
SN: I have been working on my spanish.

Hello everybody!
We are a young marriage living in VA but looking to move to Miami. We have a couple of friends there that are willing to help. If we move, we may not have a job. We both work up here but my husband may not be able to telework from Miami. We both are Spanish speakers. Are there any tips and or advices that you could give us before moving? Price wise, how are things (renting, food, gas, entertainment, etc)? Which would be a kid friendly and decent neighborhood? How hard is to get a job? Is it expensive to get Heath insurance if we do not have a job? Thank you for all the information you could give us.

Karen UK in United Kingdom said: Hey Everyone, I am looking to relocate to Miami, FL or Atlanta, GA from London and I am looking for advice on how best to find a job and the best areas to live. I am a qualified Student Welfare Advisor (Student Conuselor) and have worked in education for 11yrs. My daughter has now finished High school and is about to start work for a well known travel company over here. So its is time for me to live life to the full and I think the best place to do this is Miami or Atlanta. I will be coming out to Miami & Atlanta in November 2011 and wanted to know where is the best place to live and find work. I'm not looking to live in down town but don't want to live to far from the action either. Any advice anyone?
Hi Karen,
I, too, am considering making the move to Miami. It seems to be a highly controversial city, but I am guessing it is the case for most big cities worldwide.
I wish you and your daughter well, and hope to read from you very soon!

Simon Pemberton, a materials chemist at Applied Devices, is escorted by security guards to the company parking lot, where an HR manager tells him he's fired. Until that moment, things seemed to be going well. Simon had known, of course, about AD's zero-tolerance program, but it hadn't occurred to him that he'd violated it--particularly since his unauthorized e-mailing and Internet use were meant to serve the goal of scientific inquiry. Don Hardee, the CEO, strongly believes that deviations from a defined standard of behavior shouldn't be tolerated at AD. The dangers they pose to employees' health, safety, and morale, not to mention the company's productivity and reputation, are too great. Shirlee North, the head of HR, agrees. Ever since the jilted husband of an employee burst into AD's lobby waving a pistol, workers have been clamoring for security, and the zero-tolerance policies provide that. Initially, the program covered only weapon and drug possession, but the list of offenses warranting termination has grown considerably. When Shirlee's second in command argues that such policies are unworkable and unjust, Shirlee points out that the company intervenes only when the action is clearly prohibited, the harm actual or imminent, and the evidence unambiguous. Are Don and Shirlee right to stand firm, or should Applied Devices modify its program? Commenting on this fictional case study in R0611A and R0611Z are Janet Parker, the senior vice president of human resources for AmSouth Bank; Eugene Volokh, a professor at UCLA School of Law; Jean Halloran, the senior vice president of human resources at Agilent Technologies; and Michael G. Cherkasky, the president and CEO of Marsh & McLennan.
This HBR case study includes both the case and the commentary. For teaching purposes, this reprint is also available in two other versions: case study only, reprint R0611X, and commentary-only, reprint R0611Z.
To appreciate the dilemmas involved in establishing zero-tolerance policies regarding unacceptable behavior, and to explore ideas for resolving those dilemmas.

Tickets Go on Sale for Goodspeed's 50th Anniversary Season, 2/17
Join Goodspeed Musicals as it celebrates its 50th Anniversary! Don't miss your chance to get the best seats at the greatest values for each of the three fantastic musicals specially selected to commemorate our Golden Anniversary season at the Goodspeed Opera House. Due to this extraordinary milestone, demand is expected to be high when tickets go on sale for the 2013 season so audience members are encouraged to call right away. The Box Office will open at 10 a.m. this Sunday offering great deals on three terrific musicals that are sure to delight theatre-goers: sweet and spirited Good News!; the beloved Hello, Dolly!; and The Most Happy Fella, a charming and romantic musical from the creator of Guys and Dolls. Be among the first to purchase tickets for all three shows at Goodspeed Musicals, the first regional theatre in the nation to receive two Tony Awards.
This year's season opener Good News! will delight and entertain with Music and Lyrics by Ray Henderson, B.G. DeSylva and Lew Brown, Book by Laurence Schwab, Frank Mandel and B.G. DeSylva. and featuring a new adaptation by Jeremy Desmon for Goodspeed Musicals. Mr. Desmon is an award-winning musical theatre bookwriter whose tuner The Girl in the Frame, seen in over a dozen productions, including at Goodspeed's Norma Terris Theatre in 2005, earned him the prestigious Edward Kleban Prize as America's Most Promising Musical Theatre Bookwriter. His musical Pump Up The Volume, an adaptation of the 1990 film, has been developed at Goodspeed Musicals and The Human Race Theatre. Good News! will feature new dance arrangements by Broadway, television and film composer/arranger David Krane. Mr. Krane has composed dance music and arrangements for 29 Broadway shows, including 110 in the Shade, La Cage aux Folles, Cabaret, Man of La Mancha, Oklahoma! (Hugh Jackman), Kiss of the Spider Woman (Chita Rivera), The Music Man, Big (Susan Stroman), Ragtime, Victor/Victoria (Julie Andrews), and Damn Yankees.

Good News! will be sponsored by Liberty Bank and Updike, Kelley & Spellacy.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Youthful energy abounds in this signature Goodspeed musical filled with Roaring 20s nostalgia, plenty of laughter and rousing dance numbers. Anticipation builds on the Tait College campus as game day approaches but the football hero must first pass a big exam in order to play. When he unexpectedly falls for his tutor, romance blooms and hijinks ensue. With songs like "You're the Cream in My Coffee," "The Varsity Drag" and "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries," it's fun for everyone.
Director of the recent hit Broadway revival, Godspell Daniel Goldstein will introduce us to everybody's favorite matchmaker in Hello, Dolly! featuring music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, Book by Michael Stewart and based on "The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder. Goodspeed favorite Kelli Barclay, who choreographed Goodspeed's My One and Only, How to Succeed... and served as Assistant Choreographer on the Broadway revival of 42nd Street and Associate Choreographer of Irving Berlin's White Christmas, will choreograph this classic musical comedy.
Join us when one of the greatest musicals ever written lights up the Goodspeed stage for the very first time. You'll grin from ear to ear as Dolly Levi meddles in many a person's affairs while at the same time seeking her own "half a millionaire." Jerry Herman's rousing score is bursting with joy and tunes like "Put On Your Sunday Clothes," "Before the Parade Passes By" and "It Only Takes a Moment." Sparkling, dazzling, delightful-one musical that you cannot miss! Hello, Dolly! will be sponsored by Bank of America and Essex Meadows; Marquee Producing Partners are Dr. Anne Rothstein and Ms. Jane Hellman.
From the composer of Guys and Dolls comes a vibrant musical that blossoms in the vineyards of Napa Valley. Your heart will be warmed by this May-December romance when a city bride is wooed by an aging Italian grape farmer who nearly botches everything until his true goodness shines through. With a gorgeous score and spirited dancing, it's a simple and touching love story that makes for an extraordinary night of theatre. Favorite songs include "Standing on the Corner" and "Somebody, Somewhere."
The Most Happy Fella features Book, Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser and will be directed by Rob Ruggiero who helmed such Goodspeed audience favorites as Carousel, Show Boat, Camelot, Annie Get Your Gun and 1776 .

Oh, really, Tama-Go? Age 7 and STILL No Dating Place?

According to reliable sources (a.k.a. posts that I have been reading here on TT about the Dating Place matter), it's going to be in the door icon right under the PC option.
Well, guess what's not in the door icon right under the PC option?
Yeah, you guessed right.

Maybe the Dating Place is only available if your Tama has been an adult for __ hours without being paused. Has your Tama been paused lately? That might be why it isn't available.

oh i paused mine for four days straight while it was a teen and then played with it again. it married. ?
Yup, its under the door. Should be on that list when it is available. (Lower on the list, next page I think) Not connection unless you have connected roughly 40 times or more... Then one being male and one female.... and like each other totally. Then a option should pop up with "Marry?"
And yes, do make sure it wasn't paused...

Wiltshire's "good neighbour" Link Scheme drivers have travelled nearly a million miles in the last 12 months, figures published this week show.
They have been helping older and dependent people attend hospital appointments, go shopping and meet friends.
Since they were set up in the 1990s, Link Schemes have become a lifeline for people living in isolated communities around the county.
But an audit of figures produced by the 45 individual volunteer schemes, carried out by Community First, shows the 1,746 volunteer drivers travelled 992,379 miles, completing 54,434 tasks and working 155,544 hours, saving the taxpayer just under £1million.
Link Schemes are entirely run by volunteers and based in local communities.
Some 1,746 Wiltshire volunteers donated their time and efforts to more than 1,000 people each week in 2013.
Community First's audit showed the most frequent requests in 2013 were to get to medical appointments, shopping, reading to people and transport to lunch clubs and social events.
But other volunteers also visit people just for a chat or to help with small household tasks.
Philippa Read, Community First's chief executive, said: "We are in a time of unprecedented social and economic change with reductions in public spending and changes to health and care.
"People in rural areas are ageing faster than their urban counterparts and there is going to be a 21 per cent increase in their numbers living in Wiltshire by 2026 – these people will also live longer.
"That makes the work of these volunteers all the more remarkable and all the more important."

McCann belts two homers in first rehab game
DETROIT -- After spending most of the past month restricted to extended spring training games, Brian McCann began his Minor League rehab stint with a bang. Two, in fact.
McCann homered in each of his first two at-bats during Class A Rome's 10-6 win in Greensboro on Friday night. This marked the first rehab game for the six-time All-Star, who handled the catcher's position for the first six innings and then exited after grounding into a double play in the seventh.
McCann, who is attempting to return from offseason shoulder surgery, has provided some encouragement with the improved arm strength he has displayed recently. While he would be permitted to play up to 20 games during the rehab stint, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said the stint will likely last closer to 10 games.
Gonzalez said McCann is scheduled to play five games with Rome and then join Triple-A Gwinnett late next week for what will likely be another five games. If all goes well and this schedule sticks, McCann could be activated from the disabled list at some point during the first full week in May.
While McCann has been able to swing the bat without any discomfort for more than a month, it took him much longer to regain his arm strength.
"The reports on him are that he is up to 180 feet throwing and it was really, really good," Gonzalez said.

Topic: Cholangiocarcinoma
My husband was diagnosed in November. it was found during what they thought was a simple gallbladder surgery and was mistaken for gallstones.
Since then he has been through ercp , lap. and on Nov 19 the Whipple procedure. Ct's and pet scans did not reveal the actual size of the tumor and during the surgery they found more than expected . Original prognosis was for curative but since then has changed. 10 Lymph nodes were removed 8 were positive. MY husband has had 3 strokes, 1 heart attack, diabetes and dementia. Open heart surgery to replace a aortic valve was done in may of 2012. Because of his physical and mental condition, chemo was out of the question according to the oncologist. They cannot seem to give me an answer as to his current prognosis so they will be doing another CT scan labs this month. I am his main caregiver and I work a full time job. We were blindsided
by this and it has really affected me more than some know. I just want answers that for some reason none can give .
