The recession and still-soft U.S. demand for Canadian products is casting a long shadow over Central Canada, one that risks sinking Ontario's prosperity unless the province boosts its innovation and productivity levels.
These are the findings of a report to be released Tuesday by Ontario's Task Force on Competitiveness, Productivity and Economic Progress, which outlines several recommendations on how the country's largest economy can improve its flagging record.
A year after Canada officially emerged from the downturn, "we are still not sure if Ontarians are out of the grips of the recession," said the ninth annual report from the task force, an independent body that measures and tracks the province's economic progress.
Once the nation's key economic engine and still its largest factory base, Ontario has fallen on tougher times in recent years. Employment and output remain below pre-recession levels. Last week, the provincial government predicted years of deficits, and cut its growth forecast for next year and 2012 because weak prospects for the U.S. are seen to curb Ontario exports.
Ontario businesses are investing less in research, and produce fewer patents than other jurisdictions, the report notes. Productivity levels trail U.S. peers, undermining the province's prosperity potential. Last year, Ontario's per-capita gross domestic product was $6,900 below the median of the 16 largest states and provinces in North America.
The $6,900 gap suggests the province is not realizing its full potential, for a variety of reasons - Ontario's population has less university education than its U.S. counterparts, it is less urbanized, and its businesses invest less in technology, the report said.
Workers are working harder than people elsewhere - but not smarter. "Ontarians are among the world leaders in work effort - that is, the hours of work per person. But we are laggards in creating economic value per hour worked," said task force chairman Roger Martin, dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. For various reasons, "we are not leading the world in creating innovative products, services, and processes."
So far, government innovation policies have been "inadequate," he said, focused more on "new-to-the-world inventions" than on stimulating "relevant-to-the-market innovations."
Eliminating Ontario's GDP per-capita gap with its peers would result in an increase of $10,100 in after-tax disposable income for the average household of 2.7 people, the report said. Closing this "prosperity gap" would generate $31-billion in tax revenues for all three levels of government in Ontario, it said.
The report notes that income inequality is widening in Ontario, with higher poverty rates concentrated in six groups: high-school dropouts, recent immigrants, lone parents, single people between the ages of 45 and 64, disabled people, and aboriginals. Education is key to alleviating poverty, it argues, as the Ontario economy shifts away from jobs based on physical skills and repetitive tasks, to jobs needing strong analytical skills.
The task force concludes that boosting Ontario's fortunes requires a series of measures: Governments should invest in education and attract more international students who bring a diverse perspective to the classroom. A carbon tax could help spur green industry. Businesses should invest more in machinery, equipment and software to help their workers become more productive. Retraining should be reconsidered in favour of more effective approaches, such as wage insurance. Trade ties should be bolstered with China.

Background: Font color:
Disclaimer: I don¡¦t own the Harry Potter characters they belong to JK Rowling. But I happy to write fanfictions about them.
Summary: Hermione is a criminal and has stolen the files of the Ministry of Magic. Now everyone is after her even Harry Potter. And he will do anything to get those files back. Even send her to Azkaban. A Harry and Hermione fanfiction.
Rated: PG-13.
Warning: This fanfiction, maybe too dramatic for some so, please don¡¦t hate me. º
22 year old Harry Potter drummed his fingers together thinking.
Voldemort was growing stronger overtime he possessed a body of any magical kind.
He sat at a desk of a very elite group of trained wizards to fight the Darkside.
He looked at the photograph of the famous trio at Hogwarts.
Ronald Weasley, who was now the Minister of Magic.
He was reaching 6 foot.
Then Harry¡¦s eyes fell onto Hermione Granger.
She was always top student at Hogwarts.
Her hair was a bit bushy but in a very beautiful way.
She was currently an Advance Charms expert and a doctor in magical artifacts.
But now she was on the run from the Ministry.
Remus Lupin a friend of Harry and co.-worker came in.
¡§Harry, we must go. Voldemort has been spotted, and so has Hermione.¡¨ He said.
Nodding Harry grabbed his cloak and wand.
* * *
Hermione Granger was working at her desk at her office when she heard screaming.
Quickly, she looked out and saw Voldemort and a large group of Death Eaters.
Then she slammed her door and locked it.
¡§Now what?! What else can go wrong now?¡¨ she asked herself.
More screaming came, and she heard Voldemort coming.
Then she heard his cry of rage, and a loud pop meaning that he disapperated.
Sighing deeply she unlocked her door, and looked out.
Harry Potter and a group of wizards were standing there with their wands out.
Gasping Hermione slammed her door shut.
¡§No. He can¡¦t be here!¡¨ she said.
¡§Sorry, Harry, but I can¡¦t let you find me.¡¨
Hermione whispered pulling janitors clothes on and taking out a mop and bucket.
Then pulling on her cap on and fake beard she went out to face him.
She was at the elevators when he saw her hair.
¡§Hermione!¡¨ he shouted.
She gasping and ran in closing the doors.
¡§NO!¡¨ he shouted pounding on the doors.
¡§The stairs!¡¨ he yelled running to the staircase.
¡§He¡¦s taking the stairs.¡¨ She realized, pressing the stop button.
It stopped between levels 1 and 2.
Quickly she opened the roof and climbed out.
¡§I¡¦m not done yet. Once I find the files that are in Russia I¡¦ll come back, Harry.¡¨ Hermione whispered using magic to move the elevator down.
Then she praised the door to the second level open.
By the time Harry got to the second level from the 13 floor he saw Hermione dive out an elevator door.
¡§Hermione!¡¨ he called.
¡§No.¡¨ she whispered.
Quickly, she ran.
Another fire exit came into sight.
Throwing open the door Hermione dashed out.
There were at least 200 stairs and it would take too long to walk or run down.
Then it came to her. She had to jump. If she didn¡¦t make it she was dead.
Taking a deep breath she jumped and landed like a cat on the last stair. Then she dived out the door.
Harry was close behind her.
¡§Lock all the doors!¡¨ he yelled into his walky talky as he too jumped.
Hermione looked back and saw Harry coming out of the door. Then the emergency doors began to side shut.
Quickly she slid between them.
Then getting up she was Harry.
They looked into each other¡¦s eyes.
¡§Don¡¦t do it, Hermione¡¨ he yelled to her.
But she turned and ran out the main doors.
¡§OPEN THESE DOORS!¡¨ Harry roared.
Finally the emergency doors opened but too late she was gone.
¡§DAMN IT!¡¨ He shouted.
Hermione watched him for a moment then hurried away.
She was running from her friend because she broke the most important law besides don¡¦t use magic in front of muggles.
Never steal from the Ministry vault.
And she did that.
The top respected witch was now a criminal.
But she had to. It was the key to destroying Voldemort for good.
¡§I¡¦m so sorry, Harry. I really am, but you have to catch me if you can.¡¨
Harry slammed his fist on his desk.
¡§So close and we didn¡¦t even touch her!¡¨ Remus Lupin growled.
Then Hermione¡¦s image appeared.
¡§Greetings, M.E.T.A.D.M (Magical Elite Team Against Dark Magic). I suppose you¡¦re all wondering how I escaped?¡¨ Hermione asked.
¡§Damn right!¡¨ Barked Sirius Black, who was now a free man and also working for Harry.
¡§That¡¦s because I¡¦m the most cleverest witch. I¡¦ve been trained in every area. Why do you think that I was made Honorary Member of the Dark Force and Order of Merlin first class?¡¨ Hermione said, frowning.
¡§You can¡¦t get away, Hermione! We will catch you.¡¨ Remus said.
¡§You think you can, Professor Lupin. But you¡¦ll have to get the whole M.E.T.A.D.M to get me. Oh I thought that you should make a better vault. It¡¦s too easy.¡¨
Then her image broke.
Harry just sat there.
He realized that he was in love with this criminal and friend.
¡§We must stop what ever she¡¦s doing.¡¨ Sirius snarled.
Harry sighed.
¡§I don¡¦t want you to go.¡¨ He said.
Sirius and Remus gasped.
¡§But, Harry!¡¨ Remus said.
Harry shook his head.
¡§I¡¦m going alone. But I¡¦m taking Neville Longbottom with me. And a group of trained wizards.¡¨
Sirius came foreword.
¡§Harry, what if she¡¦s working for Voldemort?¡¨ he asked.
¡§Then I¡¦ll deal with it.¡¨
¡§But- Harry!¡¨
¡§No. That¡¦s that. I¡¦m going alone¡¨
And he left.
Remus shook his head sadly.
¡§He¡¦s blinded by his feelings.¡¨ He sighed.
Sirius nodded.
* * *
Hermione was searching on her laptop computer at her apartment late in the afternoon.
¡§You¡¦re going down Voldemort.¡¨ She whispered drinking some coffee.
Then Harry¡¦s face appeared.
¡§Hermione, stop running. We need to talk.¡¨ He said.
Hermione frowned.
¡§No, Harry. I got those files for a reason and I¡¦m not giving them up.¡¨ She hissed.
¡§Hermione, give up! Maybe you¡¦ll get lucky and not get sent to Azkaban.¡¨ He said softly.
The she heard another voice.
¡§Okay we nearly got her location.¡¨
Hermione glared at him.
¡§I thought you were my friend, Harry Potter! But I was wrong. Very wrong!¡¨
And she shut down her computer.
¡§Did we get her?¡¨ Harry asked Neville Longbottom a respected Auor.
¡§No, she broke contact before we could get her exact location. But we have her apartment building.¡¨ He replied.
Quickly Hermione packed her laptop into her bag clothes and her moneybag.
¡§Okay not so fast. They¡¦ll think that you knew their little plan to catch you.¡¨ She said slowing down.
Then she made a hologram of herself, computer and the entire thing she took.
¡§I hat to do this but- I have to¡¨
She took a pair of scissors and cut her hair to shoulder length and dyed it a reddish brown.
The she put on long hoody and black pants.
Then grabbing her keys she turned to leave but stopped.
She wrote on a piece of parchment.
Press space abr.
Before Hermione made a video on her computer.
¡§Later.¡¨ And she left.
¡§Excuse me. Do you have a Hermione Granger staying here?¡¨ Harry asked the owner.
¡§Yes and are you a friends of her?¡¨ replied the owner.
¡§Yeah we need to speak with her and I seemed to have lost my key to her room and I was wondering if I can have another.¡¨ Harry said.
¡§Course. Room 114.¡¨ He said giving a key to Harry.
As soon as Harry and his group of wizard friends went into the elevator Hermione walked down the stairs.
Harry nodded to Neville who listened.
¡§Hey, Lori, yeah I¡¦m coming. No I have to do this myself.¡¨
¡§She¡¦s inside.¡¨ He hissed to Harry.
Then slowly he put the key into the lock and slowly turned it.
¡§One. Two,¡¨ Harry mouthed.
And threw open the door.
Hermione turned.
¡§Hello, Harry,¡¨ She said.
¡§Get her!¡¨ Neville shouted.
They all dived at her.
But as soon as they touched her she said,
¡§Once again, Harry, you loose.¡¨ Then she broke.
¡§She was a hologram.¡¨ Harry shouted.
Then he saw the parchment and touched the space bar.
¡§Hello, Harry, once again I fooled you. But know this, Voldemort didn¡¦t kill you parents. The night they died Voldemort stunned them and took them to a secret location. Then he made people look like your parents and killed them. But I¡¦m sorry I can¡¦t let you near me or catch me. My information is too great. Once I find him I¡¦ll come quietly.
Then the computer broke to.
Harry pounded his fist on her desk.
¡§No! We have to catch her! Before she disappears with those files she has!¡¨ he roared.
Meanwhile Hermione was drinking some ice tea at a diner near by.
She looked up to her apartment.
¡§Oh, Harry, I hate this too but I¡¦ll get him for you, and I¡¦ll go to Azkaban freely.¡¨ She whispered.
Then she saw Harry look down at her.
Their eyes met.
She waved up at him and drank some more ice tea.
¡§Come and get me, Harry.¡¨
Harry looked down at her.
¡§She¡¦s at that diner!¡¨ he bellowed.
Sighing Hermione got up and paid.
¡§Thank you, Lisa. And Harry gets here tell him I¡¦ll be in the city where it¡¦s 50 degrees north and 55 degrees east.¡¨
Lisa her cousin nodded as she wrote it down.
And nodding to her cousin she left.
Harry thundered into the diner some 10 minutes later. It went very quiet.
¡§Where is she?¡¨ he demand.
Lisa looked at him.
¡§Just take this and get out of my fucking diner!¡¨ she snapped.
¡§Thanks I think.¡¨ Harry mumbled.
Then he and his team left and went outside.
He gave Neville the piece of paper.
¡§She¡¦s in Moscow.¡¨ He said after a few moments.
Harry looked shocked.
¡§Why Moscow?¡¨ he asked.
Neville didn¡¦t even know.
* * *
Hermione stood on the bridge that looked towards the Orthodox Church in Moscow, Russia.
She wished Harry were with her. But he like all other wizards thought of her as a criminal.
She wiped tears of pain away.
Once Voldemort was destroyed she would go to Azkaban. For life.
¡§Harry.¡¨ She sobbed.
Then as she looked at the icy blue rose she held she set it down knowing that Harry would find it.
Then she left.

PENELOPE Pitstop and Dick Dastardly would have loved the commuter challenge into Oxford yesterday.
But this wacky race had a serious purpose.
About 40 competitors set off from Eynsham shortly before 8am, tasked with timing how long it would take them to get to Queen Street, Oxford.
They rode on bicycles, rollerblades and motorbikes, in cars and in buses, and ran along the roads and fields.
The event was organised by Bikesafe West Oxfordshire, which is campaigning for a four mile cycle path along the B4044 Eynsham Road.
Co-organiser Ian Leggett said: "It has been fantastic. We had a lot of people turning up which shows the strength of feeling.
"Congestion is so bad that we thought anything but a 4x4 would beat the bus into town."
The first competitor to reach Queen Street was 54-year-old Steve Unwin on an electric bike, followed seconds later by cyclist Jean Metson.
Mr Unwin, who clocked a time of 22 minutes, said: "I use the bike whenever I can.
"The path on the B4044 would be of great benefit for people in Eynsham, Oxford and beyond."
The challenge aimed to show the benefit of building a community path alongside the B4044 to cut danger to cyclists and speed up journey times.
The first car arrived in Oxford in 52 minutes, followed a moment later by people who had travelled by bus.
In all, 22 bicycles, two motorbikes and two rollerbladers arrived before the car drivers and those using public transport.
Rollerblader Dave Edwards from Yarnton, who arrived in 35 minutes, said: "It was wet. I was doing five minutes a mile but had to use the A40 because we can't take the direct route.
"Rollerblades are the quickest way to get around Oxford. There's no point using public transport, it's too slow."
Edward James, from Eynsham, was the quickest car driver into Oxford. He said: "This is my regular commute. You just get used to sitting in standstill traffic."
Bikesafe West Oxfordshire commissioned a study from cycle lobby group Sustrans which showed the path along the B4044 would cost £800,000.
Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood handed out medals to finishers.
She said: "It's a very challenging commute and this is such a good way of showing the range of concerns from different commuters."
Oxfordshire County Council spokesman Martin Crabtree said: "Clearly a lot of work has gone into the challenge and testing different types of commuting and the idea has received great attention.
"However there is very little funding available for relatively high cost new schemes like the one being called for."
Richard Gregory, who rollerbladed the whole way, said: "It was wet and even though we went the longer, safer way round the A40, it was still quite dangerous."
Organisers of the event said it had been a time trial, rather than a race, with all competitors adhering to the speed limits and obeying the Highway Code.
Electric bicycle – 22 minutes
Bicycle – 22 minutes
Motorbike – 22.5 minutes
Rollerblades – 35 minutes
Car – 52 minutes
Bus – 52 minutes
Running – 54 minutes

A Fairmont man is being treated at a Pittsburgh hospital after being shocked by electrical power lines Friday morning.
Eugene Boyce Jr., 49, a delivery driver from Lowe's in Morgantown, was on Sand Springs Road in a large boom truck attempting to deliver supplies, said the Monongalia County Sheriff's Office. Boyce reportedly attempted to raise overhead power lines to allow the truck to pass underneath the lines. Boyce was on the roof of the truck cab and was shocked by the overhead power lines, said the sheriff's department.
Boyce was alert and responsive when EMS responded to the scene. He suffered from electrical burns to his hand and shoulder. Boyce was flown by medical helicopter to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh.
Mon Power and the Cheat Lake Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the scene.

Fox News' Greta Van Susteren took to Gretawire this morning to write about her experience with a stalker while she was practicing law in the 1980s. The "On the Record" anchor described her stalker, Randy, as a "really, really weird" person whose "strange behavior scared everyone."
Van Susteren recently tried to find a picture of Randy for FNC colleague Shannon Bream and got some surprising news from her Google search:
My stalker died …. and on Christmas Day. Strangely, I felt bad. He had followed me for so many years that I felt I knew him quite well. Over the years and years of him stalking me, I spoke to his family about trying to get him to stop…his Mother was very sweet to me and understood why I was distressed by the situation….the US Attorney's Office in DC arrested him one time and held him overnight (I always thought they did it because they thought it would look bad if I – a defense lawyer – were found murdered and floating in the Potomac River when they were aware of the problem and had done zero)…I tried everything to get rid of him …I was nice to him to get rid of him…mean to him to get rid of him…ignored him etc. Nothing worked. He was fixated. It was really weird — every place I would go, he would be there…with me. He could find me.
Randy the Stalker eventually dropped Van Susteren for "a younger and prettier woman," she writes.
Frankly, after years of him stalking me and not doing anything, I had no fear of Randy. I was used to him. He was really weird….and a pest…but after years of him stalking me, and just being a pest, I had no fear.

Calumet Specialty Products Partners invests $25M in Louisiana gas-to-liquids joint venture
10 June 2014
Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P., an independent producer of specialty hydrocarbon and fuel products, will invest $25 million as a joint venture partner in the construction of the Juniper GTL commercial gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Louisiana (earlier post). The small-scale GTL plant is expected to produce 1,100 barrels per day of refined products, including waxes, drilling fluids, distillate and naphtha, from natural gas.
The Lake Charles, Louisiana plant, which is expected to be operational by late 2015, has a total estimated cost of $135 million. The brownfield plant will be owned and operated by Juniper GTL LLC, a company also co-owned by Portugal-based SGC Energia and Texas-based Great Northern Project Development and will be funded through a combination of equity and senior secured debt. Calumet intends to invest $25 million in exchange for an equity interest of approximately 22% in the joint venture.
The Juniper GTL process starts with the reforming of natural gas into a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. These gases are then sent to a reactor, where they combine into a paraffinic liquid through the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction in SGC Energia's XTLH process.
The resulting liquid is ultimately refined by distillation and hydrogenation. The whole process, guaranteed under a single GTL license, focuses on the reliable, profitable production of high quality specialty and fuels products.

Imagine a cool Skylanders for adults. Turns out, it's happening.
Prodigy, the first game to come out of Hanaki Studio, is a classic turn-based RPG card playing game, but amped up with the inclusion of physical figurines that will produce digital cinematic sequences on a computer screen.
Comparable to Activsion's multimillion dollar figurine based video game franchise Skylanders and Disney's Infinity series, players can build up their character base through purchases of different models.
Once the figurines are bought, they're placed on a specialized board that lights up to correspond with the figurines currently in play. Using Unreal 4 technology, the cinematic sequences are completely based off what's happening on the adjourning board.
Perhaps the most interesting –and one of the major draws for potential buyers- is the promise of owning the "Ring of Power," which must be swiped across the board at the beginning of each session to ensure all future progress is saved.
Those fanboys and girls who always wanted a powerful ring like Hal Jordan, here's your chance.
According to Digital Spy, Hanaki Studio has already completed the beta testing for Prodigy, and is going to be Kickstarting its alpha testing, promising backers exclusive figurines and boards that won't be available to the general public.
As of right now, Prodigy will only be compatible with PC and Mac computers, but Jean Bey, CEO of Hanaki, told Digital Spy that a console version may be possible with the USB interface.
The Kickstarter campaign for the project is supposed to launch later in the week.
What do you think of the concept behind Prodigy? Are you going to back the project? Let us know in the comments below.

GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart)
General overview
Traders ignored the UK weak economic growth release which jeopardizes the bearish trend development. In this regard, the statements made by the Fed last night will determine the pair GBP/USD future dynamics.
The support level of 1.5015 stopped the pound downward trend. The formed correction will enable buyers to raise the price to the daily resistance level of 1.5200.
The price is finding the first support at 1.5100, the next one is 1.5015. The price is finding the first resistance at 1.5200, the next one is at 1.5300.
There is a non-confirmed and a weak buy signal. The price is above the Cloud and it is above the Chinkou Span. The Tenkan-sen shows an upward movement and the Kijun-sen shows a horizontal movement. The upward movement will be until the price is above the Cloud.
The MACD histogram is in a positive territory. The price is consolidating.
Trading recommendations
After the trend line 1.5200 breakthrough upward the way to the support 1.5300 will be opened.

Disguised as an orderly, Udo, a soldier of Juma's, sneaks into the hospital where Dubaku is recuperating and poisons him with a lethal injection that induces a heart attack. Meanwhile, President Taylor watches Juma on television giving a defiant speech about the American invasion of Sangala. The recording was probably made before the invasion, so where is Juma now?
In a warehouse near the Capitol building, Juma secretly assembles his men. Young Laurent, Dubaku's son, is among them. Udo calls to report on Dubaku's death. Juma tells him that Laurent must never know of his father's cowardice.
At the FBI, Chloe gets a call from Jack, who asks her to delete Ryan Burnett's name from the list of corrupt government officials. She hesitates, but does so just before Janis enters, asking to help with processing the list, and lingering at Chloe's station just a little too long for comfort.
Tony and Jack arrive at the White House. As a still-wanted felon, Tony must wait outside. Meanwhile, Burnett calls Juma asking if the attack can be delayed because he's stuck at the White House. Their call is interrupted as he's welcomed by Ethan Kanin. Kanin asks Senator Mayer to quietly drop his prosecution of Jack Bauer in exchange for the President's support of his war crimes bill. If he doesn't play along, the President may simply pardon Bauer. Mayer is outraged.
Jack arrives at Bill Buchanan's office and pulls a gun on him, demanding to know Burnett's whereabouts. Bill won't divulge the information without knowing what's going on, but Jack doesn't want to implicate Bill in this. Bill tells Jack that he's throwing away a chance to walk away with a clean slate, but Jack says there's no other way. He knocks Bill out with a sleeper hold.
Renee calls Larry and tells him that she believes Dubaku was murdered. She bristles angrily when Larry suggests the theory is actually Bauer's. She should be the one calling the shots, not him. A hospital security guard brings Renee a security photo of the mysterious orderly's license plate.
Janis has discovered that a name has been deleted. Chloe insists on "investigating" this herself, further inflaming Janis' suspicions. Chloe calls Jack and warns him that time is running out. In the West Wing, Senator Mayer tells Burnett to prepare a press release that will make it politically toxic for the President to pardon Bauer; they can use the fact that her husband was shot to make it look like President Taylor is acting emotionally and not rationally. The Senator is summoned to the President's side. Burnett calls Juma and tells him he's leaving now; he's to rendezvous with Juma at 21:30 hours. However, Jack bursts into the room and tasers Burnett.
Janis goes to Larry. She has found the deleted name and even unscrambled Chloe's cell phone conversations with Jack. Chloe is arrested. As the President talks to Senator Mayer about Jack, Larry calls the White House and conveys his belief that Jack is illegally interrogating Burnett as they speak. And indeed, Jack is tasering Burnett again and again.
Just as Jack is about to get a confession, a security team bursts in, accompanied by the President and the Senator. Jack tells the Senator that whatever happens now is on his conscience, but the Senator is even more outraged to find that Jack's source is Tony Almeida, a wanted fugitive. Ethan Kanin advises the President to trust Bauer, but she ultimately has him arrested. She offers Burnett immunity from prosecution for treason if he talks, but Burnett stays mum.
Renee tracks Udo's car to the warehouse were Juma and his soldiers are stationed. She reports this to Larry, who tells Janis to scramble a chopper and then call the metro police. Renee eavesdrops as Juma continues to hide Dubaku's death from Laurent. Juma orders the soldiers to move out; Larry and his men are still ten minutes away. The soldiers board a cabin boat. As the boat sails away from the dock, Renee leaps off the pier and just barely manages to scramble aboard. However, she accidentally drops her cell phone into the Potomac.
Buchanan revises and calls Tony. They bring each other up to speed. Immunity for Burnett was the only plan. Tony's original intel source is now dead. Meanwhile, Renee spies on Juma showing tactical maps to his soldiers, but she can't see the maps. The boat drops anchor and the soldiers suit up in scuba equipment, diving into the water. Lauren stays behind to stand guard. Renee sneaks into the cabin to find that the target is the White House. Laurent nearly catches her, but she dives off the boat and desperately begins to swim for shore as Laurent fires at her. Juma and his men swim into an underwater catacomb and drill into the rocks above. They pull themselves up into a dry tunnel. As Laurent pursues Renee through the water, Juma and his men are ready to carry out their attack on the White House.

Wah! Sad sad sipdown. This is still creamy lemony goodness. Just a lovely caffeine-free dessert blend. Pretty good iced, but I prefer it hot in the evenings. This or the orange & cream is on my ideal rotation list. Alas, I am now out of all the cream/citrus Della Terra blends.
EDIT: On a whim, I added a shot of Irish cream to the rest of the cup. Yum yum yum! The creaminess factor is dialed way up by the booze and the lemon flavor plays beautifully with the creaminess. What a lovely nightcap!

pointed bI the chair to wait on Mayor
llehrman, who was in his parlors, and
invite him to come before the body.
Mr. lMcitacketn appointed Messrs. Ito
bin. ()'('onnor and Ilartson, who escort
ed the mayor to the rdstrum. The
chief executive acknowledged the hon
or by sayintg that a special message he
had sent to the body expressed his
feelings on the occ'asion, both officially
and personally, lie said that time
alone can tell whether the change that
made it necessary for the members of
the Council to step aside was wise or
not, but that never could there have
been a set of men who had been the
means of doing a greater amount of
good for the greatest number of peo

while they are parting officially there
were not parting as friends, and he
wanted every one to come to the par
lors every time they could and to feel
that they are in the house of a friend.
At the close of these remarks Mr.
Robin took the floor, and in a touching
short talk presented the mayor with a
handsome silver lo ing ('up in the
name of the Council. Among other
things Mr. Robin said: "Your charac
ter, your honesty and your integrity,
Mr. Mayor, have led you at all times
to resist the favors of your friends and
the calumny of your enemies and led
you through the ways that have been
prompted only by the good of the city
and of the people. We know that the
new administration will find in you
what the old has found-a noble, hon
est, courageous leader of simon-pure
democracy, and the head of the best
government that the city of New Or
leans ever has or ever can know. I
desire, in the name of the men who
know and love you, to present you
with this token of their devotion and
loyalty to you as a man and as th?
head of this body and the government
of the people." This was greeted with
a tremendous burst of applause, as
the cup was handed to his honor.

papers, a receipt for rent of a house

The death of Bob Crow was of course a personal grief to his family, and those who knew him well, and they have the condolences of many. But it also triggered a couple of thoughts, about the role of trade union leaders today, and the place of character in modern politics.
Bob Crow defied two current conventions. My generation, and those a little older, remember when trade union leaders – like Jack Jones and Hugh Scanlon - were household names. They were known because for a time they were highly influential in economic and political decisions, which was their job, but also because for a while they appeared to be actually running the country, which was definitely not their job.
Trade union leadership and relationships are very different today. But few who depend on rail services, or work within them, could ever claim not to have heard of Bob Crow, who broke the mould.
But he was also a character on a wider stage. Parliamentarians, like footballers, are not what we were, the national media say. There are no Sir Gerald Nabarros, with trademark moustache, nor Ann Widdecombes. But modern politicians are almost encouraged to be bland. Taking a different line to their party is met, if they are senior enough, with screaming headlines about 'splits'. Women MPs with any sort of back story are careful in exposing it. Most of us silently envy old Farage that he can, currently, get away with it, though I suspect the media are lying in wait for him too.
When I visited the Maldives, on Government business, I had to wear a suit all the time, in case five minutes off wearing a loud shirt and flip flops gave the wrong impression!
I think more MPs should trust the people, who like us being ourselves more than is given credit for. Stand by for louder shirts!

Fury of the clergy: 20 bishops attack David Cameron's benefits reform
TWENTY-SEVEN Anglican bishops have written a letter condemning the Government's "punitive" welfare reforms which they say have forced people into food and fuel poverty.
In an open message to mark the beginning of Lent, they say too many people were having to choose between "heat or eat" as a result of "cutbacks and failures in the benefit system".
They claim politicians had a "moral imperative" to do more to control food price hikes and to make sure that the welfare system offered the poor a safety net.
The bishops, including The Right Rev David Walker of Manchester, state: "Half a million people have visited food banks in Britain since last Easter and 5,500 people were admitted to hospital for malnutrition last year.
"We often hear talk of hard choices.
"Surely few can be harder than that faced by the tens of thousands of older people who must 'heat or eat' each winter, harder than those faced by families whose wages have stayed flat while food prices have gone up 30 per cent in just five years.
"Yet beyond even this we must, as a society, face up to the fact that over half of people using food banks have been put in that situation by cutbacks to and failures in the benefit system, whether it be payment delays or punitive sanctions."
They added: "We call on government to do its part: Acting to investigate food markets that are failing, to make sure that work pays, and to ensure that the welfare system provides a robust last line of defence against hunger."
Last night a Downing Street spokesman said many families face tough times.
He added: "That is why our welfare reforms are about building a country where people are not trapped in a cycle of dependency but can get on."

FileName interface says that it is immutable, however AbstractFileName.setType(FileType type) flouts this rule.

Made the changes as described above. While this does not make the FileName immutable (as it should be) it does eliminate the consequences of the FileType changing.
I've experimented with various options for this.
I looked at removing the FileType attribute. Unfortunately, resolveName in DefaultFileSystemManager relies on it to determine whether the FileName is a File vs a Folder so removing it would break that.
I looked at making the FileType immutable and removing the setType method. This is doable but requires that AbstractFileObject change the setType method to create a new FileName when the type is changed instead of modifying the FileName. As a consequence this just moves the immutability problem since FileObjects are cached by their FileName.
While the assessment above is correct, I disagree with the outcome. appendURI is provided to allow FileName implementations to include information such as the userid and password into the path. Furthermore, the only thing the FileType is used for is to determine whether to append a '/' to the path. Given this it makes more sense to me to modify equals(), hashcode, and compareTo to use a method that generates a URI that contains the results from appendURI but does not try to append the '/' to the path. This will result in these three methods returning constant values regardless of what the FileType might be.
Here's what I've discovered about this problem:
1) The AbstractFileName equals() and hashcode() methods rely on its getRootUri() and getPath() methods.
2) The getRootUri() method invokes appendRootUri(), which is an abstract method. Since we can't know what the subclass might do within appendRootUri(), it's probably not a good idea for getRootUri() to be used by equals() or hashcode().
3) The getPath() method might invoke getUriTrailer() based on the setting of VFS.isUriStyle(). The getUriTrailer() method is the one that invokes getType() to determine whether to add a "/" to the path. Therefore, it's probably not a good idea for getPath() to be used by equals() or hashcode().
I recommend that equals() and hashcode() be modified to rely only on the "scheme" and "absPath" properties, both of which are Strings and both of which are immutable. A patch file with the proposed change is attached.

Letter: Government plays possum on illegals
In Saturday's May 25 Daily Globe, headlined Judge: Controversial sheriff targets Latinos. This referring to America's most popular sheriff, Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz. Well, you know I don't imagine the sheriff will find too many illegal Lithuanians there to arrest. The sheriff has a tough job picking illegal Latinos from legal ones. It's like trying to pick fly specks out of pepper.
For too long our government has played possum on illegal invasions. Ranchers along the Mexican border don't dare leave home without a guard to make sure their house isn't empty when they return home and pray their cattle fences aren't cut. They don't deserve to have to live like this. USA corporations have moved to Mexico, taking jobs from Americans and paying Mexicans cheap wages. Meanwhile, illegals are taking jobs here where jobs are scarce. If the USA government had been doing their job like Sheriff Arpaio, we wouldn't have Mexican drug turf wars in Chicago. It should have been stopped at the border.
I do believe seasonal harvest workers should be permitted with work permits to enter and leave the U.S. from Mexico, as in most cases, not enough Americans can be found to harvest strawberries, fruits and vegetables. If Mexico would raise their wages, it would help the illegal problem. The Mexican people are hard workers and deserve the fruits of their labor.

Marlins tripped up as JJ chased after three in LA
Marlins tripped up as JJ chased after three in LA
After all, Johnson had gone 19 straight starts of pitching at least five innings, and in his last six outings, his ERA was an impressive 1.99. So what took place on Saturday night was unexpected and disheartening as Johnson was tagged for six runs on 10 hits in three innings.
Behind homers from Adrian Gonzalez and Mark Ellis, and a strong start from Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers rolled to a 8-2 win at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers pounded out 16 hits, which matches the most allowed by the Marlins this season.
"Josh Johnson is a really good pitcher and he pitches through three innings. There's no breaks. It's a tough lineup," Kershaw said of his teammates.
With ample run support, Kershaw settled after yielding a second-inning homer to Giancarlo Stanton, and scattered three hits with eight strikeouts in eight innings.
"JJ was off, with everything," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Velocity was down. If we're going to face a team of that caliber, you've got to bring your best stuff. If you're not, you're going to get killed."
The Marlins have dropped four straight games, and on Sunday they will try to avoid being swept in the finale of their 11-game road trip.
"I was terrible," said Johnson, who saw his ERA rocket to 4.00. "That was pretty much it -- everything, command."
For Johnson, it was a rough go, as the right-hander threw 45 of his 89 pitches in the first inning. He's now lost four straight starts for the first time in the same season. There was a stretch over two years where he dropped six straight -- Sept. 7, 2006-July 4, 2007.
"It's part of it," Johnson said of the personal losing streak. "But you don't want to pitch like that. I was terrible. We got one in the first, and I gave that up pretty quick. We got another one, and I gave that up."
Entering the season, Johnson had allowed as many as 10 hits once in his career. Now, it's occurred four times this year, with the last on April 29.
Being hit so hard raised the issue of Johnson's health. The 28-year-old missed most of 2011 with right shoulder inflammation. And he hasn't missed a start this year, as his inning count reached 157 1/3.
But after the game, Johnson insisted he is fine. In fact, he says he felt stronger than he has in a while.
"I felt great physically," the Miami ace said. "Felt probably the best I have in the last four or five starts."
Guillen basically is chalking it up to a bad game.
"We keep asking how he feels, how he's doing, his health," Guillen said. "As manager of any ballclub, I never risk any player who comes and says something is sore. I hope there is nothing wrong with him. I don't think so. Today, he just didn't have a good game."
Miami did receive a boost from Stanton, who blasted a solo shot in the second inning off Kershaw. It was his seventh on the road trip, the most ever by a Marlin. Stanton now has 28 on the season.
"The only one positive and reason to smile is when he comes to the plate," Guillen said. "At least we can enjoy something every two innings."
Another positive is Donovan Solano, who had an infield single in the sixth inning, extending his hit streak to nine games. The rookie actually caught a break, because replays showed he was out by a half a step.
The infield hit was the last by the Marlins on a day the game slipped away early.
The Marlins claimed a first-inning lead when Gorkys Hernandez doubled to open the game, and he scored on Jose Reyes' RBI groundout. Otherwise, it was all Los Angeles.
Andre Ethier had four hits, and he homered off Wade LeBlanc in the fifth inning. Ethier broke a Los Angeles Dodgers record with 10 consecutive hits, passing Ron Cey, who did it July 2-4, 1977.
In the first inning, the Dodgers sent nine to the plate, collected six hits and opened a 4-1 lead. Gonzalez, acquired from the Red Sox earlier in the day, became the sixth Dodger ever to homer in his first at-bat. He blasted a three-run homer. In the second inning, after Stanton's homer made it 4-2, Ellis homered.
The 45-pitch first inning might have been the worst frame of Johnson's career.
"When you go through the whole lineup in the first inning, that's not a good sign," Johnson said.

No.13: Wilton, Wiltshire - £48m
Just outside Salisbury, this is the home of the Earls of Pembroke. The South Front of the house, dating from the mid 17th-century, and the bridge over the river Nadder are regarded as triumphs of Palladian architecture, with the central tower all that now remains of the original Tudor house.
The famous Cube Room, 30-foot long, wide and high, and the magnificent Double Cube Room, 60-foot long, by 30-foot by 30-foot, were both designed by Inigo Jones, and featured recently in the film The Young Victoria.
The house has also been seen in Blackadder, Pride and Prejudice, The Bounty and The Madness of King George.

Caribbean: Cash-Strapped Islands Offer Citizenship BargainsBy Larry Habegger and Laurie Weed | Permalink | No Comments | February 13th, 2013 | Trackback
For travelers interested in a second passport or a resident visa in another country, cash-strapped islands such as Dominica or St. Kitts may offer the best bargains. In Dominica, for example, a foreigner can qualify for citizenship by investing $100,000 cash, while $250,000 will get you started in St. Kitts. Many other nations offer "investor visas," including the U.S., but the investment requirement is usually much higher—$500,000 to $1 million dollars—and the paperwork can be extensive.

Apply Now for Study Abroad Programs and Scholarships
Fewer than 10 percent of U.S. undergraduate students study abroad, but more than 40 percent of Georgia Tech students graduate with an international experience. No matter the major, studying abroad gives students an irreplaceable academic, social and professional experience. For those considering summer programs, now is the time to plan financially.
Students enrolled in a Georgia Tech study abroad program (including exchanges) can use their institutional financial aid for study abroad, and most programs offer in-state tuition for all students; there is an additional fee for non-residents ($250 for most study abroad programs and $2,500 for Georgia Tech Lorraine).
One way to make study abroad more affordable is through scholarships. Students are encouraged to visit www.oie.gatech.edu/scholarships for more information, including national scholarships available specifically for students who are studying abroad.

As the Harry Potter era comes to a close with "The Deathly Hallows: Part 2," fans are soaking in as much of the wizarding world as the muggle world will allow. Many have read and reread the "Harry Potter" series, but over the years J.K. Rowling has spilled the beans on her decisions about characters, her personal connections to characters and her inspirations. Here are 10 facts about the series you may not know.
J.K. Rowling wrote the last chapter of the series sometime during the 1990s. But when she wrote "Order of the Phoenix" (book 5), Rowling decided to give Arthur Weasley a reprieve from death in exchange for killing two others during the Battle of Hogwarts in "Deathly Hallows."
Since the U.K. release of "The Philosopher's Stone" ("The Sorcerer's Stone" in the U.S.) in 1997, more than 400 million copies of books within the series have been sold worldwide. All seven books have been translated in 67 languages.
With the worldwide popularity of Harry Potter, several universities have offered courses based off the books: Frostburg State University in Maryland offered an honors seminar called "The Science of Harry Potter," Swathmore College in Pennsylvania offered a class called Battling Against Voldemort, and even Yale University offers a course called "Harry Potter and Christian Theology."
Quidditch has become a popular sport among Potterheads. In the International Quidditch League, there are 272 registered teams in the U.S., with other teams spread across the world in Brazil, the U.K., South Africa, Australia and several other countries.
Because of the enormous popularity of the Harry Potter series and the domination of the series on the New York Times' best-sellers list, the Times created a separate list for children's books before "The Goblet of Fire" (book 4) was released. "The time has come when we need to clear some room," said Charles McGrath, editor of the Book Review.
Rowling married a Portuguese journalist when she moved to Portugal for a teaching post after graduating from Exeter University. However, the marriage was short-lived and was followed by a devastating divorce. When she returned to the U.K. with her 4-month-old daughter, Rowling was subjected to some of the darkest moments of her life. It was from this experience that Rowling came up with the Dementors, first seen in "The Prisoner of Azkaban," noting that the hooded creatures suck the happiness and personalities out of their victims.
The first book begins with the deaths of Lily and James Potter, and throughout the series Harry continues to lose those close to him. Rowling was driven by the theme of death because of the loss of her own mother, who battled with multiple sclerosis and died at 45 years old. "I so understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We're all frightened of it," she said in an interview with the Telegraph.
"Chamber of Secrets" is dedicated to Sean Harris, who was not only one of Rowling's inspirations for Harry's ginger best friend, Ronald Weasley, but he was also the owner of a real turquoise Ford Anglia, exactly like the car Harry and Ron rode to Hogwarts in during the second book.
Though Rowling admits that several of her characters are an extension of herself, she said Hermoine is the one closest to her own personality, especially when she was younger. "I did not set out to make Hermione like me, but she is a bit like me. She's an exaggeration of how I was when I was younger," Rowling said in an interview at the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2004.
From the very beginning, Rowling said Severus Snape was one of her favorite characters to write. In 1999, she told a classroom of young fans that Snape was one of her favorite characters behind Harry Potter, because "he's a deeply horrible person." She also expressed the difficulty in writing Snape's character because of the hints she had to drop throughout the entire series about his past and character.
