BHS Tuesday preview: Baseball at Hibbing, tennis team hosts triangular
The Bemidji High baseball team is out to snap a four-game losing skid today when it heads to the Iron Range to battle Hibbing.
The tennis team, meanwhile, entertains East Grand Forks and Detroit Lakes in a triangular at the high school courts.
And the softball team is home with Thief River in a single game at 4:30.
Bemidji beat the Bluejackets 14-2 and 8-1 last year, the second game added to make up rainouts for both teams that could not be rescheduled.
Simon Anderson and Ryan Sullivan were the winners. Anderson will get today's starting call, taking a spotless 3-0 mark into play. He went seven innings against Grand Rapids in his last start, leaving in a 2-2 tie.
The Rapids went on to score four in the ninth to win.
It dropped the Jacks to 6-6. They have a good chance to reach 8-6 should they win today and beat Grand Forks Central Friday before heading to Alexandria Saturday for a more testing contest.
Billy Statton will be behind the plate today with Matt Hietala, Jeremiah Graves, Tyler Follis and Sol Schneider around the infield and Derek Lofgren, Nick Lee and Tony Baumgartner or Cody Rutledge in the outfield.
Auston Zetah could DH.
The B Team brings a 5-5 mark to its game. It lost an opportunity to add to its victory total when Saturday's Invitational at Thief River Falls was cancelled due to wet grounds.
Five different hurlers have each won one game this spring.
The C Team game with Hibbing has been cancelled with the Jackets not fielding a ninth grade team this year.
Tennis favored
The tennis team rules a favorite today against teams they have beaten earlier this year.
They take on East Grand Forks at 2 and Detroit Lakes at 5 with those two teams squaring off at 3:30.
Bemidji stopped the Green Wave 6-1 and DL 7-0 in their first meetings.
Bemidji is 8-2 after splitting two matches Saturday, bowing to Thief River 4-3 and blanking Monticello 7-0. That marked their fifth 7-0 victory in the eight wins.
Thief River beat the Jacks at their strength Saturday taking three of the four singles matches.
Bemidji, however, was using a revamped lineup, moving Levi Rickert and Adam Holter into doubles where Aaron Johnson was missing.
It will still be slightly revised today.
Against EGF he will start Ben Holter (12-0), Ryan Rude (11-2), Justin Byers (0-0) and Ben Kloha (3-1) in singles.
The doubles will pair Sam Weaver with Steve Bucher (1-0), Kyle Fodness with Adam Holter (3-0) and Levi Rickert with Justin Pierce (0-0)
In the DL match, playing singles will be Rude, Adam Holter (4-2), Bucher (1-2) and Wes Rogers (0-1).
In doubles, Weaver will pair with Ben Holter (3-1), Byers with Fodness (4-2) and Joey Wood with Kloha (0-0).
Other action today finds the boys and girls JV golf teams playing Wildflower at Detroit Lakes in a co-ed meet.

Uncertain future for employees at Nortel
A question mark hangs over the future of hundreds of employees at troubled telecoms company Nortel after one part of the business was snapped up by Avaya.
The US company has acquired Nortel's Enterprise Division 11 months after Nortel went into administration blaming "adverse economic conditions".
Under the deal, which came to light yesterday and is understood to be worth $900 million, 40% of the 350-strong workforce at the Monkstown plant has transferred to Avaya.
However, the future remains uncertain for the remaining 200 staff. Efforts are being made to find suitable buyers for Nortel's remaining four divisions.
Trade union Unite has cautiously welcomed the acquisition but it has expressed fears for additional redundancies next year. In March 90 employees were axed with only statutory redundancy pay, which prompted protests at the Doagh Road site.
Sean Smyth, regional industrial organiser with Unite, said: "Union officials will be seeking an urgent meeting with the new owners to discuss the plant's future at Monkstown.
"The cloud of further redundancies hangs over the plant and we need to iron out any difficulties as speedily as possible. Unite is further concerned that Avaya has only leased the Monkstown site for one year."
He added: "We are happy to note a positive aspect of this new deal is that the new company owners have given the union an assurance that if there is a need for further job losses at Monkstown, then it will honour the existing contract of employment which offers an enhanced redundancy package."
In a statement New Jersey-based Avaya said: "The addition of Nortel Enterprise Solutions (NES) further enhances Avaya's strategic position in providing business communications solutions and services for enterprise customers. The acquisition gives the company added scale, resources and expertise to deliver a portfolio of solutions and services around the globe."
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the announcement was "extremely positive news for Nortel and the workers at Monkstown".
She added: "I understand that the remaining elements of Nortel's business have successfully been auctioned to other major international telecommunications companies and those deals are currently progressing through the necessary regulatory clearances. Invest NI is working to profile the strength of the company's local capabilities to ensure the best possible outcome."
Invest NI has invoiced Nortel for £7.4m after it breached the terms of a financial assistance agreement signed in June 2006 by entering administration.
However, to date the business body has not received any payments and is not expected to until all of the Nortel acquistions are concluded next year. Only then can the administrator Ernst & Young deal with demands from creditors.

PUBLIC sector workers should be asked to pledge an oath to defend human rights, according to a new proposal.
The Human Rights Consortium Scotland said asking the country's public sector staff - more than half a million people - to make a commitment to respect human rights on a daily basis would raise the profile of standards which the UK is already signed up to.
The consortium fears that human rights are not making an impact on public life, due to a lack of understanding of what they are or how to defend them.
Loading article content
A pledge for all workers would be a quick and effective way of explaining and emphasising the importance of existing public sector legal duties to employees, it says.
The consortium is a network of more than 70 charities, academics and professional associations. Members include Amnesty International , the Scottish Association for Mental Health and the Scottish Refugee Council.
It says public sector staff deal daily with decisions which affect people's basic rights, in settings such as care for the elderly, work with vulnerable children, or adults with learning difficulties, in schools, hospitals, housing and communities.
An oath could resemble the Scottish Government's version of the civil service code or the professional commitments such as the social work code of ethics, it says.
It also points to the fact that the newly established Police Scotland has already introduced an oath for recruits which includes a duty to "uphold human rights".
However after consulting on the idea, the consortium has warned that more training for staff may be needed on what a duty to respect, protect and fulfil human rights in their daily work might mean.
In response to the consultation, public sector union Unison Scotland, which represents 160,000 public sector workers, said staff would not be confident about a pledge, adding "members advise that they don't generally operate in a human rights culture".
But Carole Ewart, chairwoman of the Human Rights Consortium Scotland, said this was worrying. She said: "When the United Nations Human Rights Council assesses the UK's compliance with its human rights duties, the need for staff training in the issues is repeatedly identified. An oath could fix that problem."
A public sector human rights pledge could also promote whistle-blowing in the public interest, Ms Ewart said.
"There has been a lot of debate about whistleblowing in the NHS recently," she said. "If workers took an individual oath perhaps they would be more sensitive to their individual responsibility to act, or complain about what is happening - for example as a result of cuts in services and overworked staff."
However the duty to meet national commitments such as the UN Convention on Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities - all of which the UK has signed - would remain with the organisation, Ms Ewart said.
"The public sector organisation holds the duty and the individual staff members responsible for delivering it have to be trained."
A spokesman for Unison Scotland said: "Unison welcome ideas from anyone trying to strengthen the human rights of those we serve. However we have reservations about this particular approach.
"There would be a considerable logistical challenge in organising more than 552,000 public sector workers to swear an oath, and provide them with briefing to explain its significance. We question whether this is the best use of resources."
He said it was also important to remember that human rights obligations apply to organisations, not individuals. "The organisation as a whole has to be vigilant. We would be concerned if that duty was passed from the organisation on to individual staff."

How will consumption shape investments after the payrolls report?
Last week's releases focused mainly on industrials and manufacturing, but this week, the focus shifts to consumer-related economic indicators. Perhaps the most relevant release for fixed income investors this week will be the full transcript of the FOMC minutes for the Fed's meeting held on March 18–19. Apart from this important release, consumption indicators will be the dominant theme this week, with discretionary spending trends, consumer debt, more jobs releases, retail sales, and consumer sentiment. As consumption expenditure makes up over two-thirds of the economy, this week will test the underlying strength of the recovery—especially after March's somewhat positive non-farm payrolls addition of 192,000.
Interested in WMT? Don't miss the next report.
Receive e-mail alerts for new research on WMT
The week will start with Gallup's self-declared discretionary consumer spending report for March on Monday, April 7. Consumer credit numbers for February will also be released the same day by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Tuesday, April 8, will see the issue of the weekly ICSC-Goldman Sachs and Johnson Redbook retail sales releases. The Job Openings & Labor Turnover Survey (or JOLTS) and the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index will also be released the same day.
The Mortgage Bankers Association Purchase Applications weekly report will release on Wednesday, April 9. Wednesday will also see the release of the FOMC minutes mentioned earlier, as well as wholesale trade data for March.
On Thursday, April 10, weekly reports for initial jobless claims and the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index are expected to release. The Treasury's budget, import-export prices, and chain store sales will also release the same day.
Producers Price Index figures for March are expected to release on Friday, April 11. This report will have important implications on inflationary trends in the economy. Inflation is closely watched by policy-makers, as it could be one of the most important catalysts for increasing the base rate. Friday will also see the release of the Thompson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, which forms part of the Conference Board's Leading Indicators Index (or LEI), signaling economic expansion or contraction.
Investor alert
The surplus or deficit in the Treasury's budget is likely to have an impact on future issues of government Treasury securities. Other factors remaining constant, the higher the deficit, the higher the issue of government securities, and vice versa. The supply will impact the prices of fixed income ETFs like the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and the Core Total U.S. Bond Market ETF (AGG).
This week's releases are also likely to impact companies in the consumer discretionary space, with increases in consumption translating to increases in sector revenues and vice versa. ETFs investing in the sector include the VanEck Vectors Retail ETF (RTH), which tracks the VanEck Vectors US Listed Retail 25 Index. The index is designed to track the overall performance of the 25 largest publicly listed retailers in the U.S. The top holdings in the ETF include the S&P 500 Index (VOO) components Amazon.com (AMZN), at 8.1%, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), at 8.04%.
For a preview for the first indicator due to release this week, Gallup's daily discretionary consumer spending report, read on to Part 2 of this series.

i was watching hockey night in canada and don cherry seems to think that they should still have a big part in the game and fighting should still be paramount - what do you guys think?
personally the fighting is one of the things that originally attracted me to the game and i think as teemu selanne said in his interview that cherry used as an example that it can rev a team up and get them going and i think it makes it great entertainment. if fighting goes ten who knows what next checking maybe?

"I'll make a quick prediction for the Bobcats," Rose told editor-in-chief of Grantland Bill Simmons. "Michael Jordan is coming out of retirement and playing one game this year."
Jordan is the owner of the Bobcats. So, there's that.

Thanks for thy present! None sweeter or better.
A poem for Thanksgiving Day
John Greenleaf Whittier 9 p.m., Nov. 22
Two Mondays ago I saw two films. In the morning was the advance screening of the American indie, Snow Angels, scheduled to open locally a week from Friday. I should probably, by custom, wait till then to talk about it, but I'm in pursuit of a small point. The film, an interweave of ordinary lives in a wintry Northeastern small town, has a number of attractions in it, starting with the clear bright wide-screen image, letting in a lot of décor and townscape, albeit much of it self-satirically quaint and cornball. Kate Beckinsale shows off, not for the first time, her impeccable American accent, and appears to have cut back on the collagen now that she's not hunting werewolves in a black leather bodysuit. And the slowly warming relationship between two tentative teens, a trombonist in the high-school marching band (Michael Angarano) and a bespectacled amateur photographer (Olivia Thirlby, the heroine's best friend in Juno), gives us a rooting interest in an otherwise tawdry tapestry of broken marriages, infidelity, betrayal, jealousy, vengeance, etc.
Two off-screen gunshots at the outset, prior to a flashback to "weeks earlier," in effect echo over the entire length of the film. Everything that takes place in it is colored by the dread of those coming shots. Though they perhaps help slightly to spice up the banality and leaven the boredom, while we work our way back to the starting point, I had to ask myself all throughout, and afterwards, why it should be so difficult for American filmmakers of the "sensitive" and "intimist" persuasion to take an interest in ordinary lives unless the story has a hook or angle or outcome worthy of top placement on the Eleven O'Clock News. And I found myself, in quest of an answer, heading down some well-travelled roads, the American penchant for violence and preoccupation with power (or its lack), the jadedness of the public palate and hunger for sensationalism, the perversion of the democratic ideal whereby every individual becomes the center of the universe, demands attention and craves recognition, strains to out-shout Walt Whitman. Even the littlest indie can be infected. Paranoid Park and Sleepwalking, both of which open tomorrow, would have served almost as well as Snow Angels, boasting, between them, a grisly, grotesque killing and a potpourri of drug bust, child abandonment, child abduction, child abuse, patricide. I just didn't happen to see them on that Monday.
Sam Rockwell, the man behind the introductory gunshots, without question demands attention and craves recognition, chewing every stick and sliver of scenery, reeking self-consciousness, while delivering his lines with roughly the sincerity of an Owen Wilson, and leaving a deafening lull whenever he's off screen. Admittedly, he's playing a failed suicide, a fitful Bible-thumper, and a sloppy drunk, unhappy over his visitation rights with his daughter, combative with his ex-wife's new married beau, who meets him more than halfway: "I'll suck you right up my tailpipe, bro." But then again, Sam Rockwell similarly demands attention and craves recognition no matter what the role. And director David Gordon Green (George Washington, Undertow, All the Real Girls) gladly obliges him. Indulges him. There wouldn't be a film without him. Or his gun. Nevertheless I repeat my question: Why? Why must true-to-life fiction gravitate to yellow journalism? The story here for the nightly news, needless to say, is not one of harassment, stalking, or restraining-order violation. That wouldn't rate. The missing child and then dead child would of course be adequate to qualify. All this, however, is mere prelude to a shotgun wielded with malice. But I've said enough about that. I might have more to say when the film opens. Probably not.
I contrast this with the second film I saw that Monday, no less colorfully photographed, maybe a shade more softly, a late afternoon public screening of the Argentine Ciudad en Celo, or City in Heat, an interweave of ordinary lives in balmy Buenos Aires, and in the final reckoning my favorite film at the San Diego Latino Film Festival. (I could have contrasted it with several less favored films I saw there, too.) True, in the opening scene when a husband walks in on his wife in flagrante delicto in their bedroom, he tiptoes straight to the kitchen drawer for a carving knife (the Argentinian penchant for violence: Land of the Gaucho, after all), but on returning to the bedroom a closer inspection of his wife's partner in sin, face down, reveals him to be the husband's brother. His cellphone interrupts. —Mom, I'm busy right now. —No, dear, don't hang up, I've been trying to reach your brother and I don't know where he is. And so he hands the phone to his brother, still lying atop his wife. It's ridiculous (in a good sense), it's funny, and it's not overplayed. The husband then boots them both out, vowing he never wants to see either of them again as long as he lives, and indeed we never see them again.
The action settles into the tranquil hub of the Garllington Bar, so named for the proprietor's divided loyalties between the tango master Gardel and the jazz master Ellington. True again, one of the cuckold's cronies at the café commits suicide. (I tend to go along, at least most of the way, with G.K. Chesterton when he says that a work of fiction can't have life in it if it doesn't have death.) But the filmmaker — Hernán Gaffet, making his first narrative film — has no interest in the actual event, the method of implementation, or the reason behind it. He has an interest only in its effect on two remaining cronies, plus an alluring tango singer who in past times has had romantic involvement with all three cronies. Each now unattached, at the verge of middle age, they daily come together at the café; they talk, they reminisce, they speculate, they analyze; and the affable proprietor puts in his two cents. When the core of comrades go to scatter their friend's ashes at water's edge and a flock of ducks swoop in to snack, they say exactly the sorts of things you would expect from mature, intelligent, humorous, and pained people: he's going to end up as duck shit, possibly pâté. Once more it's ridiculous, it's funny, and it's not overplayed. Unerringly, the actors intermesh in the fashion of a chamber-music ensemble, no one drowning out the others, no one demanding special attention, no one standing apart.
Thank you for a wonderful review; I can only hope I have a chance to see this movie in Portland (Oregon).
Years ago I learned through reading you that some of the quality of criticism comes from the critic's ability to bring other thoughts and information--context, if you will--to bear on the subject. I realize with this review that another element of good criticism is the ability to convey in writing the emotions of the material and their effect on the observer. Most reviewers offer little more than judgments of love, or more likely, hate.
gràcies, Matt

WTF? MARCA's odd front picture today has Real Madrid's Karim Benzema posing with a genie's lamp
Marca run a feature-length interview with Real Madrid's French striker Karim Benzema today.
Revisiting some of his struggles at the Casa Blanca, Benz tells Marca that the whistles and cat calls he received were tough to take, and that Zidane's support has been key in his resurgence and return to goalscoring ways.
Quoting him as saying he wants to win everything this year, i.e. the quadruple, the sports daily oddly have Benzema posing with a genie's lamp in his hands, as if alluding to some sort of Aladdin mystique.

Upon further reflection, I have thoguht that this is simlar to the "don't use Black Talons because they'll eat you alive in court" argument.
While it is true that, especially in civil court, the attorneys can do anything they want to sway the opinion against you. As I said, most of the people I know using NFA are either LE or professional security personnel (not mall cops, either..., Of the two "regular" people I know who have an NFA handy, one is a gunshop owner (CLass II/III dealer/manufacturer) the other is just about completely regular
Does anyone have any info where using an NFA has been detrimental to a persons self-defense/justifiable homicide case?
In the end, I think this comes down to mental baggage. I decided that, for me, the convenience of the wallet holster (interms of CCW) is worth the added trouble and potential hassle of getting one as a registered AOW. Does 4" less of barrel on an 870 warrant that effort?
Does carrying 32 rounds of .380 that can be fired in less than 2 seconds?
Some people think so.

The actress went on to talk about her future hopes and dreams. [4] She told Nishan she's dying to get a role potraying former first lady of Tunisia, Laila Ben Ali, depsite the controversy over the first lady's spending habits.

How fun are these sparkly cookies? I think they look like elf socks when they're stacked up. LOL! The best thing about them besides their yummy taste is that they're the easiest Christmas cookies ever, just 4 ingredients!
With the business of the holidays, I love that this recipe is fast and produces a great result with little effort. I say it again…just 4 ingredients! It's a cake mix, eggs, Crisco Pure Canola oil and sugar for rolling/coating the cookies. If you really want to "mix it up" choose a colored cake mix or add food gel/coloring to the mix. We found a seasonal red and green colored cake mix, so that's how our cookies turned out to be so vibrant.
Today we're all hanging out at the house preparing everything for the holidays. These cookies make a fun treat to enjoy while we take a quick break. I love how festive and fun they are!
In the past, we've made these cookies by rolling them in powdered sugar but my husband added a fun holiday touch by rolling the cookies in colored sugar before baking them. What a great idea! You roll the cookies in the sparkling sugar before you bake them. That explains his green fingers. Bah ha ha!
Add the simple ingredients to a bowl and mix! We're using Crisco products because we think they are great for baking! When you have confidence in a product it helps leave room for creative inspiration to make more yummy baking creations. Bring on the delicious baked goodness!
Make delicious and easy cookies with just 4 ingredients!
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix
- 1/2 cup Crisco Canola Oil
- 2 eggs
- Sparkling Sugar, red and green
- Optional: Choose a colored mix or add food coloring or food gel for colorful cookies.
- Add cake mix, oil and eggs to a bowl.
- Mix by hand until you form a dough.
- Roll dough into 1" balls.
- Coat balls in sugar.
- Space 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Don't overcook. They will flatten as they cool.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
How cute are these?! Roll them in sugar and bake! They'll flatten out like a cookie, no worries!
I'm glad these are fast because I'm eager to eat one and to get our holiday decorating finished. Our daughter comes home from college for winter break next week and I want her to see the house and feel like Christmas has begun, so she can relax…then we can bake some more of our favorite recipes! We like doing that together.
It won't take you long to pick up the simple ingredients you need for this recipe. We got everything at Publix.
What is your favorite holiday recipe?

For Immediate Release
June 16, 2010
(New City, NY)
- Wayne T. Ballard, P. E., C.S.P. Clarkstowns
Highway Superintendent will be honored as the Government Engineer of the Year
on June 16, 2010 during the annual dinner of the Rockland County Chapter of the
New York State Society of Professional Engineers. Superintendent
Ballard is being recognized by his peers for the engineering and creative
efforts he brings to the Clarkstown Highway Department and local
The Town
Board and I congratulate Wayne and recognize the valuable knowledge and
management skills he has brought to the Town of Clarkstown since taking office
in 1998, said Supervisor Alex Gromack. Wayne has streamlined the highway
department to run more efficiently with less staff while maintaining a high
level of service to our community.
The following are some of
Superintendent Ballards accomplishments:
The Highway staff reduced from 98 to 84
employees over the years through retirement. This reduction in staff has
saved over one million dollars in salaries. The same level of
services is still maintained with fewer people.
Equipment is now purchased that will perform
more efficiently and be more environmentally sensitive.
The Highway facility was determined a spill
site by the NYS DEC due to neglect by the prior administration. Through
Waynes management skills and the use of training, good housekeeping policies
and redesign of the fuel dispensing system and maintenance the facility site
was de-listed.
Construction of roads and drainage systems are
set to higher standards, ensuring that both will better withstand the test of
State and Federal funding opportunities are
regularly sought and secured to help offset costs and save local taxpayers in
the millions.
Works to maintain no cost services to benefit
the Town. Keep Rockland Beautiful works with Highway to establish clean
up sites for volunteers. Highway forwards a list weekly for the Sheriffs
Department Community Patrol Unit to clean up roads and public places.
Technology upgrades in the office were installed
to track each job from origination to completion for better customer
One of
Superintendent Ballards major accomplishments was the installation of the salt
brine system used to pre-treat the roads during the winter making was a
liability is now a snow-fighting asset. Salt brine is made throughout the
year from stormwater run off that would otherwise
seep into the ground or flow into the drainage system in and around the highway
facility salt dome and highway garage. This rain water and salt residue
is stored in large tanks and a concentration or salt brine is produced and
loaded on to trucks that dispense the solution on to the roads prior to a snow
or ice storm. This salt brine is very inexpensive to produce and sticks
to the surface of the road more so than road salt that tends to blow off to the
sides of the road. Salt brine saves money on salt use and brine can be
applied during a normal work day reducing the need for overtime.
I am proud of Wayne for his
innovative initiatives in our Highway Department and am pleased that the
Rockland County Chapter of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers
is honoring him with the Engineer of the Year Award, said Supervisor

Editor's Note: MarketMinder does NOT recommend individual securities; the below is simply an example of a broader theme we wish to highlight.
Story Highlights:
Deutsche Börse AG confirmed rumors Tuesday when it announced it reached an agreement to acquire NYSE Euronext—the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange—for $10 billion. While some pan the takeover of an American capitalism icon, jingoism and protectionism aside, this merger should be viewed as the latest, largest example of exchange consolidation taking place all over the world.
Notable industry mergers announced recently include the London Stock Exchange acquiring the Toronto-TMX, Brazil's Mercantile Exchange (BMF) acquiring the Bovespa (Brazil's equity exchange), and the Singapore Exchange acquiring Australian exchange operator ASX. This consolidation trend in the exchange business—the matching of sellers and buyers wishing to trade—is a result of decreasing profitability tied to new technologies driving down the cost of trading (which, all else being equal, should be a net positive to investors' bottom lines). Most trades are now executed across the world by ultra-fast computers that can match orders in milliseconds. (However, fear not, CNBC reporters and reality show cast members! There have been no reports of closing the Big Board's still human-powered exchange floor or doing away with the iconic opening bell.)
The proposed combination of NYSE-DB (or will it be called DB-NYSE to Senator Schumer's chagrin?) would create the world's largest exchange operator. And that highlights two aims of the recent mergers: 1) An increased ability to build economies of scale, and 2) a greater ability to leverage technological synergies (increasingly important in the world of exchanges)—reducing costs. Although the business of facilitating stock trades should make up a decreasing part of their combined revenues, their combined clout in the higher-margin derivatives business should more than make up for it—another impetus for the deal.
Also positive, these mergers should provide greater access to a range of companies and investments by managers and individual investors in both countries—although it may take some time for the two companies to integrate their trading systems.
Some fear domestic companies will be less inclined to list on exchanges owned by foreign institutions. However, we find little evidence to support these reservations. The NYSE is already a global player, having acquired Euronext NV (and outbidding Deutsche Börse) for $11 billion in 2007. Since then, there have been few examples of companies on either side of the pond hesitant to list on the exchange because of it's new address.
For now, significant regulatory and political hurdles remain before the pact is sanctioned by officials in both countries, and in the near term, expect protectionist rhetoric. But beyond political speak, if American businesses are to continue to thrive and grow, looking abroad for international partners is increasingly important in the competitive global market.

text: Developed a problem yesterday on my '08 Street Glide, and was wondering if anyone has heard of this. If so, can you shed some more light on this poor novice with very rusty mechanical skills? Was getting onto the interstate in heavy traffic when the bike backfired and started losing power. Seemed as long as I didn't move the throttle it was OK, but when I tried to give it gas it would stumble, backfire, and lose power. Got off the highway as quick as I could, and continued down the frontage road. Came to a stop, and when I went to start again it tried to die as if starved for fuel. I could ride as long as I kept RPMs above 3K, but below that it had severe fuel starvation issues. Since the dealer was only a couple of miles down the road, I decided to take it straight in since this seems likely to be a warranty issue. The dealer checked it out, and called me to say the "cell" where the fuel filter mounts into the side of the fuel pump is cracked. This is apparently a known issue, and there has been a redesign on the part. Unfortunately, the part is on backorder to the factory until at least May 30. They are going to see if they can get a part pulled off the York assembly line and overnight it here, but they aren't sure if it will happen. Looks like a beautiful weekend for riding just got shot all to heck.

Aug 25, 2008 - 1:58 pm
My father was diagnosed with stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil (T3N0M0). He is 61, and never smoked a day in his life. The doctors opted to forgo the surgery, and instead are giving him radiation twice a day for 5 weeks. It will be the beginning of week 3 tomorrow, and the side effects of the radiation are finally showing themselves. He is unable to eat (but has a feeding tube), his mouth is dry, and he doesn't sleep at night because of excess mucous production. I was planning to move to London England at the end of the month, but am going to wait until I know that my father is ok.
Has anybody gone through radiation treatments twice a day and have any advice? My father has never been an emotional person, and has always been a big talker, but the past few days has said nothing when I've seen him - something which I find very hard to handle. So far from previous posts I've read that Mucinex, Amifostine, and a humidifier are all things to be explored... but anything else I should get/research??
Thank you.

I. CALL TO ORDER AND OPENING REMARKS - Dr. Susan B. Shurin
Dr. Susan Shurin, Acting Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), welcomed members to the 240th meeting of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council (NHLBAC). [Top of Page]
Council Updates
Dr. Shurin recognized five Council members who are retiring:
- Ms. Jeanine Arden Ornt
- Dr. Shaun Coughlin
- Dr. Joe Garcia
- Ms. Paula Polite
- Dr. Steven Shapiro
Invited Guests:
Dr. Shurin welcomed representatives of three NHLBI Advisory Committees:
- Dr. C. William Balke, representing the NHLBI Institutional Training Mechanism Review
- Dr. Charles Czeisler, representing the Sleep Disorder Research Advisory Board
- Dr. Curt D. Sigmund, representing the Heart, Lung, and Blood Program Project Review Committee
Dr. Edward Benz of the Sickle Cell Disease Advisory Committee and Dr. Julio Panza of the Clinical Trials Review Committee were unable to attend.
Dr. Paul R. McCurdy, former Chief of the NHLBI Bone Marrow Transplantation Branch and Director of the NHLBI Blood Resources Program prior to his retirement, died on September 7, 2010. Dr. McCurdy was instrumental in advancing the field of stem cell transplantation and promoting blood safety.
II. REVIEW OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST – Dr. Susan B. Shurin
The Council was reminded that under Public Law 92-463, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a portion of the meeting would be closed to the public, for the consideration of grant applications and review of the intramural program.
Dr. Shurin also reminded the Council members that they are Special Government Employees and are subject to Departmental conduct regulations.
III. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR – Dr. Susan B. Shurin
Budget Update:
The NIH is currently operating under a Continuing Resolution, which means that the NHLBI must operate at its FY 2010 budget level of $3,095,812,000. Dr. Shurin reviewed the Institute's proposed FY 2011 President's Budget, which totals $3,187,516,000, a 3.0 percent increase over the FY 2010 actual budget. No substantial changes in the distribution between mechanisms are anticipated for FY 2011. The budget reflects Congressionally-mandated increases in salary support and stipends for training grants.
Dr. Shurin noted that the NIH is anticipating the resubmission in FY 2011 of a substantial number of applications initially submitted for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which will most likely exacerbate recent declines in the success rate. The NHLBI is planning carefully in order to preserve current levels of investigator-initiated awards. Dr. Shurin highlighted several large NHLBI ARRA projects, including an exome sequencing project, a translational research implementation program, and efforts toward building the scientific workforce. (See NHLBI and the Recovery Act.)
Institute Update:
The Institute is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the initial description of sickle cell anemia by Dr. James Herrick with the James B. Herrick Symposium - Sickle Cell Disease Care and Research: Past, Present, and Future.
NIH-Level Issues:
Dr. Shurin noted several NIH-level issues:
- A preliminary injunction issued on August 23, 2010, by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia halted the use of federal funds for human embryonic stem cell research. As of October 25, 2010, NIH-supported stem cell research was allowed to continue pending appeal. (See NIH Stem Cell Information.)
- The NIH Scientific Management Review Board Sub-Working Group on Substance Use, Abuse and Addiction recommended creation of a new Addiction Institute wherein all relevant addiction research portfolios from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol (NIAAA), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and other Institutes/Centers (ICs) would be integrated. The NIH Director has authority to accept or reject the recommendation.
- The Cures Acceleration Network, part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, will seek to reduce the time it takes to develop new treatments and cures for debilitating and life-threatening diseases by reducing barriers between laboratory discoveries and clinical trials. The FY 2011 President's Budget identifies $50 million for the Network.
- The NIH has completed a therapeutics inventory to identify activities (including development of drugs, biologics, and devices) underway at the NIH, with the goal of accelerating translational medicine and advancing therapeutics development. The NHLBI is carefully considering where in the drug development pipeline to focus its investments.
- The NIH will be reconfiguring its diversity programs (in light of relevant legal decisions) to focus on populations defined as disadvantaged, rather than on race or ethnicity. Future Funding Opportunity Announcements will include revised NIH diversity language and state the IC's compelling need. The NIH Diversity Task Force will assess workforce diversity at the NIH and make recommendations to the NIH Director on diversification of the intramural and extramural workforce. Dr. Shurin represents the NHLBI on the Task Force.
- The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a non-profit, non-governmental body authorized under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was established to help stakeholders make informed health decisions. (See article entitled "Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute: The Intersection of Science and Health Care" by Drs. Carolyn Clancy and Francis S. Collins in Science Translational Medicine, June 23, 2010).
- The NIH faces a number of challenges in the area of comparative effectiveness research (CER) including, setting criteria for priorities, supporting next generation CER, and helping researchers use observational data. (See article entitled "Using Science to Improve the Nation's Health System: NIH's Commitment to Comparative Effectiveness Research" by Drs. Michael S. Lauer and Francis S. Collins in JAMA, June 2, 2010.)
IV. DIFFERENTIAL PAYLINE ANALYSIS – Dr. Carl Roth
Dr. Carl Roth, Acting Deputy Director and Associate Director for Scientific Program Operation, NHLBI, reviewed the genesis of the Institute's differential payline policy instituted in FY 2010, and summarized initial results. Review of the NIH peer review system, initiated in June 2007, emphasized the need for new policies to ensure that the largest number of meritorious applications receive funding earlier in order to improve the efficiency of the peer review system and reduce the burden on applicants and reviewers from increased numbers of resubmissions.
In 2008, the NHLBI conducted a thorough analysis of its prior application submission data and presented the results to Council in October 2008. The data showed that about 80 percent of applications from established investigators (85 percent from new investigators) with an initial (i.e., unamended) application score at the 20th percentile were eventually funded. The data also showed a marked shift toward funding of second amendments and away from initial applications. A proposed policy—to rank order applications separately by percentile score within amendment status (i.e., initial application [A0], first amendment [A1], second amendment [A2]) and pay to equivalent success rates within amendment status—was enthusiastically endorsed by Council, and subsequently disseminated to the research community (see Translating NIH Peer Review Changes into Funding Policies.) Funding guidelines reflecting the new policy were posted in March 2009, and revised funding guidelines (reflecting a less stringent policy regarding maintaining equivalent success rates) were posted in October 2009. (During the same period, the NIH issued a notification that beginning with the January 2009 application receipt date, all initial applications would be permitted only a single amendment.)
Dr. Roth presented results from a recent analysis of FY 2010 NHLBI submission data, comparing the difference (in number of awards by amendment status for Research Project Grants [R01s]) between the Institute's actual differential payline policy for FY 2010 and a theoretical policy of equal paylines across amendment status. The data indicate several benefits of the differential payline policy.
For non-Early Stage Investigators:
The differential payline policy eliminated the need for reapplication and re-review for 15 additional outstanding A0 applications.
- Under the differential payline policy, 160 A0s, 162 A1s, and 78 A2s were awarded within payline (solicited R01s were excluded). If a policy of equal paylines across amendment status had been used, the corresponding number of awards would have been 145 A0s, 177 A1s, and 88 A2s.
- The NHLBI FY 2010 paylines were the 16th percentile for A0s, 12th percentile for A1s, and 10th percentile for A2s; a policy of equal paylines across amendment status would have resulted in a payline at the 13th percentile (with additional monies left over to fund projects at the 14th percentile depending on selection criteria).
For Early Stage Investigators (ESIs):
The differential payline policy enabled funding of 15 additional Type 1 ESI projects that were between the 24th and 26th percentiles. It also enabled two additional first renewal ESI awards between the 19th and 21st percentiles. (Note: NHLBI policy currently stipulates that regardless of amendment status, the paylines for new competing [Type 1] and First Renewal [Type 2] ESI R01 applications will be 5 percentile points beyond the regular R01 payline for unamended applications. In addition, and also regardless of amendment status, Type 1 ESI R01 applications that are >5 but <=10 percentile points beyond the regular R01 payline for unamended applications typically undergo an expedited review to resolve comments in the summary statements and were usually funded in FY 2010.)
- Under the differential payline policy, 105 first-ever ESIs (Type 1 A0s) were awarded; if a policy of equal paylines across amendment status had been used, 90 first-ever ESIs would have been awarded.
V. CRITERION SCORES AND IMPACT SCORES – ANALYSIS – Dr. Carl Roth
Dr. Roth presented results of an analysis of the revised scoring system and enhanced review criteria for competing NIH applications that were instituted beginning with the summer 2009 review cycle (see Enhancing Peer Review at NIH: Improve the Quality & Transparency of Review).
Dr. Roth explained a regression analysis that related Impact scores assigned to NHLBI R01 applications in the October 2010 Council Round with the respective individual criteria scores for Significance, Innovation, Approach, Investigator(s), and Environment. Results showed that the Impact score was affected by the Approach score far more than by any other criterion score. NIH-wide analyses have shown similar results.
CLINICAL IMPACT, TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS – Dr. Andrew Arai and Dr. Peter Kellman
Dr. Andrew Arai, Chief of the Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Branch, Division of Intramural Research, NHLBI, and Dr. Peter Kellman, Staff Scientist at the Laboratory of Cardiac Energetics, Division of Intramural Research, NHLBI, discussed NHLBI's bench-to-bedside research program in cardiovascular MRI, which includes:
- Technical developments in cardiovascular MRI. (Dr. Kellman is highly involved in developing motion-corrected rapid imaging methods.)
- Use of MRI in acute coronary syndrome.
- MRI-guided interventions and MRI-guided robot surgery.
- Diagnostic and interventional research in pediatrics and congenital heart disease.
VII. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EXTERNAL EXPERTS AND INITIATIVE CONCEPTS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2011 AND BEYOND – Dr. Susan B. Shurin
NHLBI staff presented 10 new initiatives, 5 renewals, and 2 requests by other ICs for secondary support, all of which had been reviewed in September by the Board of External Experts (BEE). Initiative development at the NHLBI is a two-cycle process. First, staff within each extramural division develops ideas and potential initiatives, which they present to the trans-NHLBI Idea Forum. Sufficiently developed initiatives are subsequently considered by the BEE, which ranks each and provides accompanying advice.
The Council was mostly supportive of the initiatives presented, but made a number of specific recommendations for consideration prior to their release. The Acting Director, NHLBI, will consider the recommendations of the BEE and the Council and other budgetary and programmatic issues in determining which of the proposed initiatives, if any, to implement.
Strategic Plan Goal I: To improve understanding of the molecular and physiological basis of health and disease, and to use that understanding to develop improved approaches to disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention:

Games have become a source of consternation for Peter Houston.
The Dundee United manager has now watched his side concede the opening goal in six of their last seven matches, and the setbacks have not always been overcome. His team is capable of responding, but the hesitant start has become routine and United have yet to find a solution. "It's the story of our season," said Barry Douglas.
The full-back was talking after Tuesday's 2-1 defeat by Motherwell at Tannadice. The hosts fell two goals behind in the opening 10 minutes, and the frustration was evident. It has become familiar, but analysing games and trying to address the issue in training has failed to deliver a solution. "I don't know why it's happening, but we need to try to rectify it," said Douglas. "I wouldn't say it's a mental problem, we were just slow coming out of the blocks, for whatever reason. And I wouldn't say it's anything to do with the team selection, because regardless of what team plays, it happens all the time. We just need to get together as a unit and get to the bottom of it."

Douglas concedes a team meeting "is maybe the solution", but against Motherwell the initial vulnerability seemed self-inflicted. United played four in midfield with John Rankin on the left, but he tucked infield, leaving Douglas exposed at left-back, where he faced the pace and direct running of Chris Humphrey. The winger created the opening goal with a cross, then scored the second himself after Henrik Ojamaa played him through.
United's display was perplexing, but the team eventually responded and at least dominated possession after the interval, albeit without laying siege to the Motherwell goal. That much irks Houston, since he knows his team are capable of beating most sides in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. "I wouldn't say it will ruin our season, but we're giving ourselves too much of an uphill task, giving goals away," said Douglas. "It seems to be that when we go behind, that's when we start playing. If you look at the last four or five games, on the second-half performances we deserved to win them, but the slow starts are costing us."
The dissatisfaction, however, was not restricted to the losers. Even after his stunning goal – a fierce drive from 25 yards that angled past Radoslaw Cierzniak – Humphrey was moved to bemoan his lack of goals, that being his first of the campaign.
The Englishman only scored twice in 40 appearances last season, but his pace is enough to carry him beyond most defences. There are fewer scoring opportunities on the wing, but the way Humphrey finished at Tannadice suggests that there may be more to his game than swiftness. Even so, he described his approach as being, "I've just got to hit this" when the ball arrived at his feet. "That was the best I've ever scored," Humphrey said. "I should be chipping in with more. It was good to get off the mark and hopefully I can get a few more."
The Motherwell players were appreciative, not least because the table is so tight. Points have become even more precious and the squad discussed the importance of their win in the dressing room afterwards. Reflection tends to be rare in such moments but there were elements of the game worth considering. As well as Humphrey's goal, Motherwell were also well served by Henrik Ojamaa's tireless workrate up front. "Defences are scared of him, his pace and his power," said Humphrey of his team-mate. "When he's on his game it's always a big plus for us."

Stalking has always been a frightening crime. For a victim, it means constant fear, anxiety and self-doubt. One in six women and one in 19 men are stalked in their lifetime, most often by a current or former intimate partner. Unfortunately, stalking has changed with the times. Today a stalker may be empowered by a variety of easily accessible gadgets and online tools.

" Brand: Hama / Type: Beads "
Last Christmas I was looking at things to buy my two children as presents. As well as traditional toys, I like to buy them some craft items as they provide hours of entertainment. One thing that appealed to me was Hama beads. With my youngest being 4 and a half at Christmas time, I no longer had to worry too much about the choking hazard of small parts, and I was free to browse amongst the hama beads sets.
I picked up two - one was a Ben 10 character set which I knew would appeal to both my sons as they are fans of the cartoon and toys. I then chose a pirate set for my youngest as I had bought him a playmobil pirate ship. Of the two sets, they both decided to open the Ben 10 set first, so it has only been more recently that they have opened this second set.
Hama beads are little plastic beads that have a hole through the middle. They come in many different colours, and you use them to create a design on a peg board. When your design is done, you use heat from an iron to fuse the beads together so they can be removed from the board staying in the design you have made.
This particular pirate set came with two square peg boards that can be joined together to make larger designs. There are 4000 coloured beads in midi size. These came in two bags of jumbled up colours, so before we could do anything, we needed to sort these colours out into little tubs so that my children could find the ones that they needed for a design more easily.
Also in the set were pictoral instructions to make several different designs - two different pirate figures, a sword and a bottle, a flag, and a boat. There was also two preformed stands so that the model boat could be stood upright when made. The kit also contained a large sheet of ironing paper to put over the top of the design before ironing to prevent the iron getting covered in bits of molten plastic.
As with the Ben 10 set, we found that there was more than enough beads to make up each of the models shown in the kit leaving about half of the quantity to either remake some models, or for my children to come up with some of their own designs. Something I was really impressed with was my eldest son saw a picture of a parrot on the rear of the box, and out of his own head he came up with a design for a parrot. There really is a lot of freedom with hama beads to make your ideas become reality.
The recommended age on this kit was 5 plus. This made me think that my youngest son might have got a lot out of it. However, he has not really been that bothered by using the hama beads leaving these kits for his 6 year old brother to play with. I think part of the problem is he finds it really tricky to transfer the idea from the instructions to the board. He just seems to not have the patience for it. He is also a little clumsy and knocks the board quite easily undoing the work he has managed to do, so he decided that it was easier not to do it. He likes the toy when coming up with something from his own head as there is less pressure there to do it perfectly.
The set cost me around £12 from amazon. The prices on these kits do seem to go up and down throughout the year, but I feel for the amount of entertainment my eldest has had from the kit, that the price is suitable. There are hours of fun ahead of you if you start making the models from the kit. Just think about the type of child you are buying this for. Now I know it is not sensible to buy this sort of thing again for my 5 year old, but my 6 year old loves them and would sit there for a whole afternoon just doing this activity.

It appears my E970 may have kicked the bucket. I have been running CM11 for months now, on Sunday the phone gave a BSOD unexpectedly. This happens about once a month or so with CM, no big deal- or so I thought.
However since then I am unable to register on the Rogers network. My phone simply stays in Emergency Calls Only mode. Wifi works fine, Bluetooth, I am able to browse, read emails, play music.. everything works EXCEPT being able to register on the cellular network, make phone calls and send texts. I cannot manually register the network or in automatic. I have contacted support, tried different APNs, replaced the Rogers SIM and now tried a Telus SIM as well- all the same result; the phone is unable to register to the network. Now I have also done a factory wipe and reload of CM11 M6 for the E970, still the same result.
Since the E970 is a sealed phone with the side-port for SIM & mSD, what is the likelihood of the SIM card socket being damaged, or a radio being faulty? I have recently issues with the SD-card randomly dismounting, is this an indicator the card readers may have been failing?
Since the Optimus G is only ~18 months old, this may be the first phone I've ever had that hardware failed before I replaced it.. Has anybody else had similar hardware issues with reading SIMs or network registration? Was the BSOD a cause, or symptom?

McDonald's has promoted Rick Wion to be the company's first director of social media, Advertising Age reported today.
Wion has been working on social media projects for McDonald's since 2006, but with his promotion comes the implicit knowledge that he will make social outreach a priority.
"Now it's time to have [someone] dedicated 100% of the time, rather than someone who's got a day job on top of a day job," Heather Oldani, McD's director of external communications and public relations, told Ad Age.
Wion will be using social media to build business, deal with customer complaints, and target mommy bloggers.
Now that Ronald is all-in the game, does this mean social media has jumped the shark?
We think yes, in a way. This doesn't make Twitter etc. any less relevant, but it does signal (as does all the other big companies getting involved in social media) that social media is ceasing to be this new, scary thing and becoming much more commonplace.
Like you didn't already know that.

My Fatty lost oil (again). I had it serviced (all seals replaced) by only trained C'dale mechanic in my country. He said that he found nothing wrong with it - all previous seals were in good condition and the rest of the assembly too. But after few months of sitting at home, waiting to catch some spare time, it took just some 5-6 hours of riding to get that good ol' feel of jumping all over the place again... Since I got the bike (F4) secondhand and don't plan investing more in headshok, I decided to try adding more oil to it by myself. Made DIY castle tool as per Castle tool and it worked well - damper is out without any damage.
I found info on how to bleed properly Lefty DLR2 but not for my Fatty Ultra DL80, so I'd like to know how to do it right. Johnnysshop's Youtube video shows something that might be the wrong way of doing it... or not? Should I fill it from the bottom? My cartridge doesn't have bleed screw on the side of the body. Does it have one at all? Does it have compensation piston inside shaft and should I follow instructions for setting it up just like for Lefty etc...

NEW YORK — Last weekend Ogden native Brad Barton joined basketball legends Sessions Harlan, Harold Arceneaux and Eddie Gill and football's Fine Unga in being inducted into the Weber State University Athletics Hall of Fame.
The 47-year-old Barton added to that fame this weekend. He broke the 3,000-meter Masters (45-49 age group) world record by eight seconds, and the American record by almost 14 seconds, at the Columbia Final Qualifier at the Armory track in Manhattan, witih a time of 8:26.15.
This was Barton's first race of the year. His coach, Chick Hislop, advised him to race conservatively and come through the first 2,000 meters at the American record pace. At that point, he could decide which record to try for.
"I knew I was fit coming in here, but because I haven't raced this year, there were some big question marks," Barton said. "I kept my pace dead-on through the first mile. I eased the throttle down a bit at that point and was astounded how terrific I felt at the 2K mark. I decided to go all in, forget about the American record and go for the world record. Once I got rolling, excitement and momentum carried me through. I passed a lot of talented college kids less than half my age in that last thousand meters. The excitement fueled my record-breaking rush to the finish. Tonight was a case of age before beauty."
Barton, a former NCAA All-American Steeplechaser, broke Craig Fram's American record of 8:39.74 and Jesus Borrego's world record of 8:34.58.
"8:26.15? That's within nine seconds of my collegiate personal record. I had no idea I could run that fast. I felt invincible tonight," Barton said.Comment on this story
Barton ran a Masters world record-breaking mile run, 4:16.83, at this same meet in 2013. He went on to capture multiple U.S. Masters and World Masters Games titles and set American records in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2013.
He is sponsored by the Utah-based Get Air Sports, Trampoline Parks LLC and Get Away Today Vacations. Barton authored the book "Beyond Illusions" and travels as public speaker.
Next up is the 3,000-meter steeplechase world record. "I had a great 2013 campaign but I missed that steeple world record by just over one second. I'm stronger than I was last year. We believe we can do this."
