Hate's human folly—
A most tragic emotion,
A sign of despair . . .
It splits people asunder . . .
Brings sadness and wounds the soul!

They stand toe to toe
Neither will give up their ground
A battle for fools
For they both possess great strength
One will be destroyed today
The winner receives no prize
The blood screams out from his hands
For him there's no sleep
Glassy eyes peer from the dark
Brother dead on ground
Trying out Harry Horsman's toe to toe tanka.

She attacks my weak ego
My sure existence
I hurt with ultimate pain
Crushing my very being
She destroys my peace
All which brings pleasure to me
Sure does falter here
I don't know her reasoning
For my love is hers alone

They say love and hate
Closest thing to each other
Who are they that say
Rather be alone with love
Than coupled along with hate...

The witches held men
Up against the wall of pain
Where they are shackled
To take the brunt of the curse
Leaving them helpless to hate
They will infect more
Of their own people in town
Creating hate throughout
The townsfolk fear their return
How they will spread hate around
Death sure soon follows
To kill the many lost ones
The curse will live on
Through the few that were taken
Where Halloween brought a curse

My sins are a disease infecting me swiftly
Yet I believe judgment was passed rather quickly
We all are weak in times of stress
It's only baby steps to freedom, and I crawl slow
Speed up-Go Faster-so your spirit can grow.
But I have hatred in my heart and evil in my brain.
Formed to habits that drive me Insane
It's all my fault and I will take the blame
For causing you and yours all this shame
So I will be gone and you will be here
Judgment passed quickly, I shed not another tear
I beg of you now, please understand my plea
This didn't have to happen, I used to be Free
Judgment passed quickly, too much gossip to tell
The Book and the Sin, will I burn in Hell?
Hatred in my heart
EVIL in my brain FORMED TO HABITS THAT DRIVE ME INSANE

Trump's cowardice knows no bounds

Kelly Clarkson made husband get vasectomy
The singer insists she is done having babies and will focus on her two young children and two stepkids.
Singer Kelly Clarkson has asked her husband to get a vasectomy in a bid to make sure she never falls pregnant again.
The former American Idol winner, who has struggled through both her pregnancies, has revealed she urged Brandon Blackstock, the stepson of country singer Reba McEntire, to have 'the snip' before the birth of their second child, son Remington, earlier this year (16).
"I was literally pregnant with Remi, and I was like, 'You are getting fixed'," the singer told Jenny McCarthy on American radio station SiriusXM. "This will never happen to me again. If something happens, it's a miracle of God. I literally told my OB/GYN (Obstetrician and Gynaecologist) on the (delivery) table while open, 'If I get pregnant again, I will find you!'"
And the singer, 34, insists she's not joking, telling TV news show Entertainment Tonight, "The shop is closed. Things have been taken out, so that cannot happen. We're done."
In her candid chat with McCarthy, the mum-of-two also revealed a thyroid problem may have led to her struggles to produce breast milk.
"I actually pumped like crazy, like, 40 ounces a day," she said. "Then I just went dry on both pregnancies. For, like, three or four weeks straight, I was crazy. I was like, 'I'm a rock star!'"
Now she's shut down a third pregnancy, Kelly plans to focus more on raising her kids, revealing motherhood has made her feel empowered: "It's so cheesy, (but) I feel way more confident, way more empowered, way more like, 'I've got this!'"
The Since U Been Gone singer is also a stepmum to Blackstock's two kids from a previous marriage.

Hexis press release
At the end of November 2011, after winning the FIA GT1 World Championship title, Hexis was the first team to announce its entry for the 2012 contest with two of the new McLaren MP4-12C GT3s. Today, it stays a few steps ahead of its rivals by unveiling its two driver line-ups. Frédéric Makowiecki, Stef Dusseldorp, Alvaro Parente and Grégoire Demoustier represent a balanced team with two members of the Hexis family and two newcomers. There is an identical 50/50 share-out between drivers with well-established international reputations and very promising young chargers. In the same spirit half the drivers in the team are of French nationality. The cars' livery has been signed off and tests will begin next week on the Lédenon circuit.
The story of the Hexis team began in Formula Renault some ten years ago. The second decisive step was the purchase of a Porsche Cup, with which the team managed by Philippe Dumas learned the ropes of grand touring racing. Hexis then acquired a reputation on the international scene by giving Aston Martin Racing numerous victories in the French, German and European GT3 Championships before winning the FIA GT1 world title. The arrival of the two McLarens in the team's workshops is the start of a new era at the same time as the championship is at a key turning point. The adoption of the GT3 regulations means a complete shakeup of the field. Hexis already knows that three of its rivals will be teams representing Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz AMG.
Philippe Dumas: "We're doing our first test session on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th February at Lédenon with Fred and Stef. We're tackling the new season with three objectives: show McLaren that we're the best team to build a long-term relationship, enjoy ourselves as much as ever as it's one of the keys to our success, and last but not least – win!"
The FIA GT1 World Championship will kick off on 8th April on the Nogaro circuit in the Gers on which cars bearing the Hexis colours made their debut start back in 2002 during the same Easter weekend!

CHICAGO (AP) Benjamin Nathaniel Smith bought the guns he used in his racist shooting spree from an illegal street dealer after he was turned away by a gun shop that did the required background check, investigators said Tuesday.
The background check showed that an ex-girlfriend of Smith had taken out a protective order against him because of abuse.
Gun control activists said the case demonstrates the inadequacy of the nation's gun laws, while the gun lobby said the problem is lax enforcement.
Smith, 21, killed himself during a struggle with police Sunday night after a series of drive-by shootings of Jews, blacks and Asians in Illinois and Indiana that left two people dead and nine wounded.
The white supremacist had tried to buy two 9 mm handguns and a shotgun on June 23 at a licensed gun shop in Peoria Heights, said Jerry Singer, an agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
After being rejected, Smith bought a Bryco .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun on June 26 and a .22-caliber pistol on June 29 from an illegal dealer who already was being investigated by the ATF, Singer said.
Both guns were found with Smith's body after he killed himself near the southern Illinois town of Salem. Tests showed that weapons of those calibers were used in the spree.
The name of the unlicensed dealer who sold Smith the guns has been turned over to federal prosecutors for possible charges, Singer said. The dealer's name and other information about the purchases were not disclosed.
Tony Schneider, owner of the Heights Gun and Hunter Supplies shop in Peoria Heights, confirmed in an interview that Smith had been at his store. He said Smith was calm when told he couldn't have the guns and several boxes of ammunition.
''He just said he'd check it out and left,'' Schneider said.
The denial was based on a two-year order for protection filed by former girlfriend Elizabeth Sahr that took effect in April 1998. Ms. Sahr had accused Smith of severely beating her and said she feared for her life because of his white supremacist connections.
Convicted felons and people with orders of protection against them are prohibited under state and federal law from buying guns.
Lt. Dave Sanders, a spokesman for the Illinois State Police, said the state issued Smith a firearm owner's ID card on June 18 because of errors in the order for protection, which among other things listed Smith's middle initial as ''A'' instead of ''N.'' His eye color and weight also didn't match, Sanders said.
He said the card was revoked June 30 after Smith was rejected by the gun shop. ''The system did work and prevented him from actually getting the guns,'' Sanders said.
But that apparently didn't prevent Smith from going to a street dealer.
A search Monday of an apartment Smith rented in Morton, just outside Peoria, turned up receipts for ammunition, boxes for two guns and stacks of hate literature, said Skokie police Sgt. Michael Ruth, a spokesman for the task force overseeing the case.
Smith had been a member of the World Church of the Creator, a white supremacist organization based in East Peoria. He had regularly distributed hate literature while he was a student at the University of Illinois and, most recently, at Indiana University in Bloomington.
Activists on both sides of the gun control debate said the story of how Smith got his guns supported their positions.
Lisa Morel Las, director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence, said the case shows a need for more oversight in the secondary gun market including gun shows, street dealers and Internet sales.
''For all the people who argue gun control doesn't work, it actually did because it kept him from purchasing a gun through legal methods,'' she said. ''However, it pushed him right into the unlicensed gun market.''
James Baker, the chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, said federal authorities should have arrested Smith when he attempted to buy a gun at the licensed shop despite the protective order.
''The system works,'' Baker said. ''If we're not going to arrest people who violate federal laws, why are we passing them?''

Student Library Assistants are The Heart of the Libraries
To thank Student Library Assistants (SLAs) for their hard work and dedicated service, the UT Libraries is hosting its fourth Student Appreciation Celebration. The event's theme this year is "You are the Heart of the Libraries."
"This year's theme was chosen because the event is scheduled so close to Valentine's Day, but also because of the genuine appreciation that we have for our students," Mark Puente, Minority Librarian Resident and one of the event's organizers, said. "It really is an appropriate theme, because SLAs contribute significantly to both the operations and the spirit of the libraries," Puente said.
The UT Libraries employs nearly 150 SLAs, which means that support from students makes up nearly 45% of the libraries' workforce. Students perform many essential services, on the front lines by staffing service desks and helping patrons, and behind the scenes by organizing collections and updating library media.
Nine students who have worked in the libraries for two or more years will earn a special recognition. A book from the libraries' collection bookplated in their honor. The libraries are pleased to commemorate the students' service with this lasting tribute.
The event will occur on Thursday, February 16th from 2:30-4:00 pm in the Staff Lounge of Hodges Library.
Students interested in working at the UT Libraries can find job postings outside the Personnel and Procurement office, room 630 of Hodges Library, or by visiting their Web site.

The information from the government shocked administrators at Edward Hospital. Their doctors were ordering so-called double CT scans — one using injected dye, one without — for patients at far higher rates than other hospitals in Chicago and across the nation. In the process, patients were getting large doses of radiation. The hospital launched an investigation, and physicians began to focus on curbing use of the scans. This is just what the government hopes will happen as it publishes more information on the quality of health care in the U.S., including just-released, first-of-its-kind data about medical imaging. The data release is part of an ongoing effort to shine a spotlight on how well hospitals follow guidelines for care, meet patients' needs and end up saving lives.

Contributing editor Ryan Irvine joins us this week with a look at a new investment opportunity that is emerging right in his own back yard of British Columbia. Ryan is one of Canada's leading experts in quality small-cap stocks and the CEO of Keystone Financial (www.KeyStocks.com). Here is his report.
Ryan Irvine writes:
Quietly this past week, our Natural Resources Minister announced the approval of four long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) export licenses. They were awarded to Pacific NorthWest LNG, Prince Rupert LNG, WCC LNG, and Woodfibre LNG. The four export licenses combined will allow for the export of up to 73.4 million tons of LNG per year.
Along with the announcement, Minister Greg Rickford stated that Canada is well positioned to help meet the growing market demands for liquefied natural gas. LNG from Canada's West Coast can get to Asian markets in less than two weeks compared with the month it takes a tanker to leave from export terminals in the Gulf of Mexico.

- The intrinsic value of TSX:HWO
- Peter Lynch Chart of TSX:HWO
These are hardly revelations but support a theme we have been covering for the past 18 months. We have already benefitted from the anticipation of this coming boom in a number of the oil and gas service companies we have recommended. Having said this, the true benefits in terms of hard cash flow are likely more than a year in the future. But once they kick in, they may last for decades.
At this stage, we are likely only in the first inning and we would not be surprised to see some hiccups along the way. These could provide long-term opportunities for investment in solid companies. Right now, our bias is towards energy and infrastructure service stocks with existing strong businesses which are positioned to benefit from an LNG boom in British Columbia if and when it occurs but can stand on their own two feet without it. We already have half a dozen of these types of companies in active coverage that are positioned for potential explosive growth if the boom does in fact take place.
Quick LNG Related Stats
- Canada is the fifth-largest producer of natural gas in the world and has up to 37 trillion cubic metres of marketable natural gas resources, enough to meet our current production for over 250 years.
- The International Energy Agency's 2013 World Energy Outlook predicts world energy demand will increase by 33% by 2035. The rapidly rising economies of China, India, and the Middle East will drive growth, commanding more than 58% of the rise in global energy demand. India's energy needs alone will double over this period.
- The Conference Board of Canada estimates that potential growth in British Columbia's natural gas sector alone could attract $180 billion in new investment and create 54,000 jobs per year between 2012 and 2035.
- Each Canadian LNG facility will be subject to a thorough environmental assessment and regulatory review to ensure it can be developed safely.
Recently, a report authored by RBC Dominion Securities singled out Pacific NorthWest LNG (led by Malaysia's state-owned Petronas) as the B.C. project that has been taking large strides toward reaching the goal of supplying energy-thirsty customers in Asia.
"Pacific NorthWest LNG has established a high degree of momentum, with a final investment decision expected by the end of 2014," according to the global study by RBC's energy team headed by Greg Pardy and Kurt Hallead.
Pacific NorthWest LNG, one of 14 projects proposed for British Columbia's coast, has grabbed headlines of late as the Malaysian government adds new Asian partners for the joint venture.
The company estimates that almost $36 billion will need to be spent in order to make its export plan a reality in late 2018. The massive budget includes nearly $11 billion for the export plant to be built at Lelu Island, near Prince Rupert.
Having said this, a West Coast LNG boom is by no means a slam-dunk as global competition, environmental issues, funding, and the tax regime are amongst a number of issues still to play out.
Let's start with the B.C. government's document on its proposed new tax regime. To date, the information provided publicly consists of a short two-page backgrounder tabled just over a month ago along with the provincial budget. The document indicated a two-tier income tax on LNG production, with 1.5% to be charged on net proceeds up front and a second rate of "up to 7%" scheduled to kick in once the operator's capital investment has been covered.
Opponents include Jack Mintz, an economist at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, who also happens to be a director of Imperial Oil (a company that has a stake in one of the proposals to develop B.C. LNG). He points out that B.C. already taxes natural gas by collecting royalties on the extraction of the resource at the wellhead. However, as Mintz notes, the proposed special tax would impose a rather atypical second levy on the processing of the resource in liquefied form.
"Applying a special tax on LNG is akin to applying special refining taxes in oil and gas and mining or manufacturing phases in forestry, which has not been pursued by other provinces," noted Mintz.
While we believe the sitting B.C. government, which has made the development of LNG a priority, will eventually implement a competitive tax regime, the current uncertainty and/or lack of a competitive structure could help serve to derail some of the capital investment that will be necessary to develop a number of the large scale proposed projects. Corporate capital is mobile and will not wait in limbo forever as a country dithers over environmental work, special tax regimes, and the concerns of other special interest groups who want their pound of flesh. Eventually, the capital is employed elsewhere.
Additionally, Canada is trailing the United States in the North American LNG export race, RBC cautions. The United States has the advantage because major proposals south of the border are "Brownfield" projects that call for reconfiguring existing import facilities and converting them to process LNG exports. By contrast, Canada is relying on "Greenfield" projects that effectively mean starting from scratch.
RBC also noted that Australia is emerging as an LNG heavyweight, bolstered by seven export projects under construction.
"Australia is set to eclipse Qatar as the largest global supplier of LNG by 2018," the report said. Australian Greenfield LNG projects, however, have been stung by cost overruns.
Again, we believe it wise to have exposure to the potential LNG boom, but we stress that it must be done prudently with a bias is towards energy and infrastructure service stocks with existing strong businesses which are positioned to benefit from an LNG boom but can operate profitably if it is delayed or doesn't happen.
This provides an excellent segue to our first update, High Arctic Energy Inc.
High Arctic Energy Inc. (TSX: HWO)(HGHGF)
Originally recommended on Sept. 3/13 (#21332) at C$2.85, US$2.55. Closed Friday at C$4.42, US$3.90 (March 31).
High Arctic holds a solid energy services business in Western Canada, but remains a Buy due to the strong cash flow generated from its core business in Papua New Guinea (PNG). We introduced IWB readers to High Arctic in early September with the stock trading at C$2.85. Today, with the stock closing at C$4.42, we review the company's recently released 2013 annual results and its dividend increase.
HWO is an international oil and gas services company with operations in both Papua New Guinea and Western Canada. The company's substantial operation in PNG is comprised of contract drilling, specialized well completion services, and a rentals business, which includes rig matting, camps, and drilling support equipment. HWO's Canadian operation is focused on the provision of snubbing services and the supply of nitrogen to a large number of oil and natural gas exploration and production companies operating in Western Canada.
HWO posted a strong end to 2013 with fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA increasing 25% to $12.5 million compared to the same quarter last year. A continuation of strong performance in the PNG operation offset lower activity in Western Canada. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $38.7 million or roughly flat compared to the previous year. Full year revenue increased 4% in 2013 to $152.7 million. Full year adjusted EBITDA was $41.5 million, or 5% higher than in 2012.
Funds from operations for the year were $35.3 million ($0.72 per share) compared to $34.9 million ($0.71 per share) in 2012. For 2013, HWO generated free cash flow of $28.3 million ($0.57 per share) and declared dividends of $7.2 million ($0.145 per share) equating to a payout ratio of 25%. HWO continued to generate solid returns on capital employed with return on equity and return on invested capital of 25% and 31% respectively for 2013.
HWO's balance sheet continues to strengthen with a cash balance of $33.7 million and long-term debt of $6.8 million for net cash of $26.9 million. Net cash has nearly doubled over the past 12 months from $13.6 million as of the start of 2013.
On March 17, the company approved a 20% increase in the monthly dividend amount. The new monthly amount is $0.015 per share or $0.18 per annum. The new dividend rate equates to an annual dividend cost of $9 million, which is a conservative 25% of HWO's reported funds provided by operations in 2013 of $35.3 million. The current yield is around 4%.
Conclusion: HWO continues to generate a relatively consistent cash flow profile from its presence in PNG. The company operates right along the lines we look for, generating solid free cash flow which is used to reinvest in the business, pay dividends, reduce debt, and grow the cash balance. Our forecasts for 2014 are based on what we consider to be conservative assumptions and on a longer-term basis we think that HWO is well positioned to benefit from potential LNG development booms in both PNG and Western Canada.
Considering the valuation (approximately six times expected free cash flow), the balance sheet ($0.54 net cash per share), and the growth opportunities over the next one to three years, we continue to view HWO as an attractive opportunity in the international oil and gas services space. Despite the stock jumping 55% since our original recommendation, we maintain our Buy rating as the stock is just now starting to garner further interest on Bay Street.
Action now: Buy.

Minnesota Independent
November 2, 2010
Minnesota media is reporting several instances of overzealous election challengers in polling places as the Republican Party of Minnesota ramps up its allegations of voter fraud. In several Minnesota precincts, reporters confirmed that GOP poll challengers have overstepped their bounds. Meanwhile, the GOP claims that ballot scanners were not working properly in some jurisdictions and that group home assistants have been telling people how to vote.

- {openx:49}
Most election experts have indicated that there haven't been widespread reports of voter intimidation or voter fraud. As Secretary of State Mark Ritchie tweeted today, "Voter intimidation reports in MPLS but mostly it is a smooth as silk voting day"
The Associated Press reports that in Hennepin County there have been some tense conversations between election judges and GOP challengers who don't seem to understand the rules.

Hennepin County Elections Manager Rachel Smith said that the poll challengers were entering restricted areas and making challenges that are against the rules. She told TPM, "I think we were very firm, we had to be very firm with some of the polling place challengers who wanted to have more range in the polling place than the law permitted them to."

Companies doing business on an international basis can
take welcome comfort from a recent Court of Appeal decision, which
confirmed the approach for when a corporate veil will be
"Lifting the corporate veil" describes a practice by which a court decides that a subsidiary is a mere shell or alter ego used by a parent company to avoid or conceal liability.Ā By piercing the corporate veil, the court treats that parent and subsidiary as a single economic entity, thereby placing the debts and liabilities of the subsidiary on its parent or shareholders.
In this case, the Court of Appeal rejected an attempt by VTB, a state-owned Russian bank, to join Nutritrek International, a UK plc, to an action brought for loss suffered by it under the terms of a loan agreement. VTB had made a loan of $225m to the purchaser of several companies owned by Nutritrek, the purchaser defaulted on the loan and VTB were only able to recover $40m.
VTB argued the loan had been made based on false inducements by Nutritrek, and that the purchaser had fraudulently conspired with Nutritrek to obtain the funding. The loan agreement contained an English law jurisdiction clause which VTB sought to use to join Nutritrek as a party to the agreement.
VTB contended that the court could lift the corporate veil on the parties to the loan agreement to show that Nutritrek was a party to it on the basis that it had been controlling the purchaser's actions and was ultimately liable for its loss. The Court of Appeal disagreed on the basis that even if the veil was lifted, it was unlikely to show that Nutritrek was a party to the loan agreement.
In lifting the veil, the Court would be creating an artificial remedy which would undermine the basic principles of English contract law and it was not prepared to lift the veil simply to permit a claim to be brought through the English courts where the defendant was not a party to the relevant contract.Ā While the corporate veil was not pierced in this case it is clear that the courts will in some circumstances do so and businesses do well to remember this – an opportunity for lawyers to add value and Rawlison Butler are always happy to answer client questions on liability and corporate veil issues.

text: I've been mulling the idea of an indoor air compressor for cleaning film and equipment of dust. My "darkroom" I confess is a Nikon 9000ED scanner since I have no hope of anywhere to set up a darkroom. But, nonetheless dust is a problem with film scanned or film in an enlarger. I've been wondering about a small air compressor to help in these efforts, and for the last many years I have been relying on compressed air cans that probably have harmful chemicals in them or something and will sometimes leave residue. Would something like this work? Anyone have any other suggestions? I don't want something loud - I live in an apartment and don't want neighbors complaining when I'm up at 1am scanning film. What do you think?

You exercise, and you're eating a clean diet, but you can still pinch at least an inch of fat around your hips and tummy. Why is so hard to shed that jiggly stuff? Appetite hormones play a role, but there are other hormones that regulate your metabolism and how easily you store fat. If these hormones are out of whack, it can make it almost impossible to lose weight even if you're doing everything right. Here are five hormones that play a key role in weight control.
Thyroid Hormone
Thyroid hormone levels play a key role in regulating your metabolism. People who have an underactive thyroid usually experience weight gain and other problems such as hair loss, sensitivity to cold, poor memory, constipation, dry skin and infertility. In other words, all systems slow down. Hypothyroidism, the medical term for an underactive thyroid gland, isn't uncommon and many people go undiagnosed. If you can't lose weight, and you have any of these symptoms, ask your doctor to run a thyroid function study, a blood test to see if you're producing enough thyroid hormone.
Insulin's main function is to escort glucose into cells, but it also promotes fat storage. Many people who are overweight or obese have a condition called insulin resistance where their cells aren't sensitive enough to the insulin they produce. This means their body has to pump out more. This contributes to fat storage, especially belly fat. Insulin resistance usually comes from being overweight, not exercising and eating a diet high in processed carbohydrates and drinking soft drinks.
Eliminating processed fats and soft drinks, and eating a diet of fiber-rich, whole food carb sources along with lean proteins and healthy fats can help insulin do its job better and help with weight loss too. It's also important to exercise, preferably by doing high-intensity exercise, to help boost insulin sensitivity and reduce insulin's hold on your fat stores.
Cortisol is dubbed the "stress hormone" because it's produced when your body feels "threatened." Physical stress from illness, inadequate sleep, eating a very low calorie diet or over-exercising can all cause cortisol levels to rise. So can emotional stress. Cortisol contributes to the breakdown of lean body tissue, and it boosts belly fat. An expanding waistline can be a sign that you're under the spell of too much cortisol. The key here is to eliminate whatever stress is causing cortisol levels to be high.
Testosterone helps to maintain lean body mass and boost fat burning. It's also important for healthy bones. Testosterone levels decline with age, and some experts believe this is happening earlier in life because people are exposed to estrogen-like pollutants from the environment.
Low testosterone levels can also be associated with depression and loss of libido. Doctors sometimes run a blood test to see if a person has a significant testosterone deficiency. Some men with low levels may require supplementation. As far as the sub-clinical declines that occur with aging, high-intensity exercise and resistance training can help boost declining testosterone levels.
Growth Hormone
Growth hormone is another hormone that helps to boost connective tissue growth within muscles, thereby increasing muscle definition. It also stimulates fat-burning. Like testosterone, growth hormone levels decline with age. High-intensity exercise and resistance training using heavy weights stimulates growth hormone release naturally. One more reason to make a date with a set of weights.
The Bottom Line?
These are five of the hormonal players that make it easier or more difficult to lose weight. Appetite hormones also play a role. It just goes to show how complex the body is, and why weight loss can be so difficult for some people even when they do everything right.
Ann. Intern. Med. 148 (10): 747-58.

BOSTON (CBS) – The Red Sox and Cubs are at a standstill when it comes to compensation for Theo Epstein, and the commissioner might have to step in to figure it all out.
Prior to Game 2 of the World Series, Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig told Sirius Satellite radio he may have to help mediate a deal between the Red Sox and Cubs, as the teams try to iron out a deal that would make Epstein Chicago's President of baseball operations.
Read: Ortiz Would Like To Return To Sox
The Red Sox want prospects in return, the two sides just cannot figure out which ones.
Reports circled on Thursday that a deal was almost done and Epstein would be introduced on Friday. Without a deal in place, that is unlikely to happen.
Listen: John Henry Would "Love To Have Theo Back"
Red Sox owner John Henry denied a deal was close to being completed on Thursday.
A source told ESPN on Thursday Boston would not receive Chicago's top prospects Brett Jackson, Trey McNutt or Matt Szczur in a deal. The Red Sox are likely holding out for at least one of them, or a different high-level prospect, wanting to come away with something in return for Epstein, who has one year remaining on his current deal with the Red Sox.
With Epstein taking over as team president, he is expected to name current Padres general manager Jed Hoyer GM of the Cubs.
Ben Cherington will take over as GM of the Red Sox.

PM's Office Denies Claims That Sara Netanyahu Abused Housekeeper
Former maid seeks NIS 300,000 compensation for alleged unpaid wages and severance pay.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office has denied allegations filed against the premier's wife by a former housekeeper who says Sara Netanyahu treated her unfairly when she worked at the couple's Caesarea home.
The suit, filed last week by Lillian Peretz, 43, seeks NIS 300,000 in compensation including alleged unpaid wages and severance pay. Peretz also claims that social benefits were not paid on her net salary, which ranged between NIS 2,500 and NIS 3,800 per month.
Peretz's lawsuit states that Mrs. Netanyahu "like in the story of Cinderella, burdened [Peretz] with impossible tasks ... and screamed at her." The complaint also says that from the time Netanyahu was elected prime minister, Peretz was forbidden to call Mrs. Netanyahu by her first name.
The complaint says Mrs. Netanyahu demanded that the housekeeper return to the couple's home on the eve of Passover to do the family's laundry, and Mrs. Netanyahu refused to pay additional compensation. She allegedly said that "it was an honor to work for the Netanyahu family."
The suit also alleges that Peretz was barred from using the house's water cooler and had to bring food from home. She was also prohibited from wearing makeup so that it would not soil Mrs. Netanyahu's linens and clothing, the suit says.
It alleges that the housekeeper was brought to tears almost every day. Peretz said that when she tried to quit, senior political figures dissuaded her and made her sign a commitment to pay a $50,000 fine if she violated the deal.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's office, in denying the claims, cited Peretz's September 2008 resignation letter in which she said she was quitting "with a lot of love and appreciation."
The Prime Minister's Bureau said the Web site Ynet quoted Peretz as saying in the presence of one of the Netanyahus that "I'm crazy about Sara. I don't have girlfriends and she is a friend, mother and helper. She is everything to me. She is an amazing person."

IRVINE, Calif., Oct 09, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: SPPI), a commercial-stage biotechnology company with a primary focus in oncology, today announced that it received a Complete Response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for FUSILEV(R) (levoleucovorin) for injection for treatment of patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer.
The FDA stated in the Complete Response letter that the submission did not demonstrate that FUSILEV is non-inferior to leucovorin; and recommended that the Company meet with them to discuss options for continuing to seek approval of FUSILEV in advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. The Company plans to promptly request such meeting to discuss options for FUSILEV in this indication.
The FDA did not request any changes to the currently approved indications and package insert.
About FUSILEV(R) (levoleucovorin) for Injection
FUSILEV, a novel folate analog, is available in vials as freeze-dried powder. FUSILEV rescue is also indicated after high-dose methotrexate therapy in osteosarcoma. Additionally, FUSILEV is indicated to diminish the toxicity and counteract the effects of impaired methotrexate elimination and of inadvertent overdosage of folic acid antagonists. FUSILEV has been marketed outside the United States by Wyeth, Sanofi-Aventis, Takeda, and others for more than 10 years.
Full prescribing information can be found at www.FUSILEV.com.

Hull City v Arsenal: Predicted lineups
Arsenal hope to overcome Hull City
Hull City and Arsenal face off against one another this afternoon in the English Premier League in a match that is massive for Arsenal in terms of trying to maintain their place in the top four, but is also a crucial match for Hull as they prepare for the Gunners in next month's FA Cup Final.
Steve Bruce has done one heck of a job with Hull City but they could use a few more points to guarantee their place in the top flight for next year and a victory over their visitors would mean a lot in terms of both the league and their coming final in terms of the side's morale.
Arsene Wenger needs to maintain Arsenal's UEFA Champions League place for next season as a drop to the UEFA Europa League will not be one that they will want to make and could hurt them this summer in the transfer market.
Hull will want to all but guarantee their place in the top flight for next season and having taking points against some top opposition at the KC Stadium this season already they have the ability to pull one over on the Gunners if they start well and can withstand the assured Arsenal pressure.
Robby Brady and Allan McGregor both will miss the match for Hull due to injury while Arsenal's injury list still remains lengthy but they should be boosted by the return of Mesut Ozil to the first team.
Hull XI: Harper: Rosenior, Chester, Davies, Figueroa; Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler; Jelavic, Long.
Arsenal XI: Szczesny: Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen; Arteta, Flamini; Ramsey, Cazorla, Podolski; Giroud.

They say that links are copyrighted material, too …
Hello, everyone,
I just found this via another forum :
Interesting, in't it ?
They are basically saying that links are copyrighted material, too !
(Or at least that's how I understood this articl.)
The printed news industry (really anything with the word 'print' in it) has been hemorrhaging money for years. This is just an attempt to avoid dealing with the fact that their market and indeed all markets are changing more rapidly than they can keep up with.
Do they provide the information open and freely without registering? Is the link saying anything or is it just a link. I think a is tantamount to referencing a source.
This is part and parcel to NA because Google was just given a a bit of a free ride by the Justice Department over how they conduct their searches (ie. directly linking to their paid shopping service and their news service).
Links… copyrighted?
They can sue me for all I care, I'll still post/mail/print/use links.
With patents on obvious things idiocy, with f2p models that are taxfree money laundry fraud and this added, soon we'll speak about good old times when the only illegal thing on internet was pirating software.

The Augusta Chronicle celebrates its 225th birthday this week, and it's probably as good a time as any to tell you something about The News Building, which has been the site of much of Augusta's journalism for almost a century.
Designed by famed Augusta architect Lloyd Preacher, it opened in 1917 as the Herald Building at 725 Broad Street.
Over the years, its employees have brought Augustans news of 22 U.S. presidential elections, 74 Masters Tournaments and 90 baseball World Series contests. Many of our nation's political leaders have been interviewed at this location.
In 1973 the national Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, designated it as an important site of American journalism, marking that honor with a plaque at his front.
The structure was built by Evans Brothers Construction Co., of Birmingham, in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It cost $115,000 to build. While it opened as home of the Augusta Herald, The Chronicle started merging operations in 1949. The building was officially purchased by The Chronicle in 1955. The staffs of both the morning and afternoon newspapers shared its facilities until the Herald ceased publication in 1993.
The building has its quirks.
The front is more narrow than the back. Not that you'd notice, but probably because they built it in a hurry after the big fire.
The old elevator off its main lobby is incredibly slow. Many employees take the stairs out of habit.
It is a very sturdy building. Anyone who has ever watched a violent summer thunderstorm from its second floor windows can tell you of the sense of solid security.
The ladies restroom on the second floor was only added in recent years. Originally there were few, if any, women employees, and a ladies room on every floor apparently seemed a useless extravagance.
The Herald might be gone, but the building is full of its reminders. Dozens of the old door knobs scattered throughout its four floors have an "H" on them.
No one remembers anyone ever dying on the site, so no ghosts.
The building, however, does have assorted tales often told within its walls.
Today its air-conditioned and comfortable year round, but the old timers like to talk about the summer days when the room was cooled by electric fans, and everyone smoked cigarettes, typed on sheets of copy paper and every desk had a large jar of (flammable) glue for pasting copy and corrections together.
It's a wonder they didn't set the building on fire numerous times.
Smoking withing the building was actually pretty pervasive until the early 1990s. That's when smoking was prohibited in the newsroom, but allowed in the hallway outside.
Two years later, smoking was prohibited in the hallway, but allowed in the back of the production department.
Soon after that, smoking was forbidden inside the building, but allowed outside the doors.
And a few years after that, smokers were encouraged to light up someplace where they couldn't be seen by customers and co-workers entering a main doorway.
Today they mostly hang out behind the press building.
There also used to be an open roof-top helicopter landing pad, converted in the mid-1990s to extra office space.
We don't have a helicopter anymore, but we did in the 1970s. We used it in 1978 for a very special mission. On Valentine's Day that year, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation confiscated several tons of marijuana from an abandoned DC-3 airplane in McDuffie County.
After obtaining enough for "evidence," the state law enforcement agency decided to burn the rest inside some giant paper mill kilns in Wilkes County.
Someone thought the sight of tons of marijuana going up in smoke might be a great photo from the air, so the case was made, and the helicopter summoned.
Soon a reporter and photographer were on their way to the drug destruction.
They said they got the pilot to fly through the thick cloud of pot smoke numerous times, but reported no noticeable effect, disappointing several colleagues who predicted they would return more loopy than normal.

Vandoorne: Toro Rosso contacted me
18 October 2013 – McLaren protege Stoffel Vandoorne has revealed that Toro Rosso contacted him over the possibility of becoming Daniel Ricciardo's replacement for the 2014 campaign.
The 21-year-old Belgian, who sits second in the Formula Renault 3.5 standings ahead of the final round in Barcelona, said he discussed the proposal with his management team, but ultimately opted to remain a member of McLaren's talent pool.
"I consulted with my management team, which advised me to remain with McLaren. Also, Red Bull's proposal would only have been for one season, and we're looking at the long-term. I'm convinced that McLaren remains the best choice for Formula 1."
Vandoorne, who needs 43 points to overhaul fellow McLaren star Kevin Magnussen for the Formula Renault 3.5 title, says remaining in the category for a second season is his most likely option, although he is hopeful of securing a greater Formula 1 role.
"After Barcelona we will look at everything," said Vandoorne. "I can stay for another year with the title as the sole aim; that is the most likely option. I could move to GP2, but it is not very different to 3.5, and McLaren is not fussed about this category.
"I can already make the step to Formula 1 as a reserve driver. But we will have to see."
Red Bull junior António Félix da Costa is expected to be given the Toro Rosso drive.

Hamilton: I will come back stronger after break
29 July 2014 – Lewis Hamilton says he will use Formula 1's summer break to "re-energise" himself and get even "fitter" in a bid to become a stronger driver for the final eight races of the season.
Hamilton looked to have regained the momentum after winning the British Grand Prix, but subsequent problems outside of his control in qualifying in Germany and Hungary – with a brake disc failure and a fuel leak respectively – left him facing tough damage-limitation drives.
Despite fighting back to third in both races, and beating team-mate and championship rival, Nico Rosberg, at the Hungaroring, he remains behind in the title race, with 11 points separating them.
"I think it has been a very challenging and trying and testing last two weeks," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.
"To be able to still keep myself together – I saw some of the stories written, which said I was going to crack under pressure or something like that – this hopefully shows that I am not.
"I am still in the fight and I am still raring to go. So this break will be good to re-energise, get fit; I'm very light but the car is lighter, so I can put a little bit of weight on over this break.
"But it will be muscle not fat and hopefully [I'll] come back stronger, physically and mentally."
Hamilton conceded, however, that technical issues could well decide who is crowned Champion this year.
"Ultimately it [reliability] is a concern because I have stopped more than him [Rosberg]," he added. "But there is still quite a few races to go and it will be telling, dependent on how...
"Obviously I've got the pace, got the ability, [it is] just really whether or not the car holds up."

It's hard to forget the day that Apple surpassed Exxon Mobil to become the most valuable publicly traded company in the world. But a lot has happened to Apple's stock since August of 2011. AAPL has ridden a chaotic roller coaster on the stock market. After announcing a record holiday quarter Wednesday with $54.5 billion in revenue and $13.1 billion in profits, AAPL dropped more than 10%. That's more than $50 billion in market cap gone in a day. Poof.
Apple's stock isn't doing so hot, and after over a year in second place, today marks the day that Exxon Mobil dethroned Apple on Wall Street.
And that's ok. This doesn't mean that the company is doomed.
Apple's market capitalization closed at $413 billion today on the NASDAQ, while Exxon closed at $418 billion. AAPL is hovering around $440 after hours. It's been a tumultuous decline for Apple since AAPL traded at over $700 per share in September of 2012.
But why the slow spiral over the last 4-5 months? Apple has had its share of fiascos and shakeups, but nothing to signal the end of a dynasty. The "Steve Jobs would have never!" argument will probably never die, but let's be honest here; Tim Cook hasn't been steering Apple much differently than Jobs would have been.
A lot of it is outside of Apple's control. During the earnings call earlier this week, Cook and Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer kept blaming the supply chain overseas. Apple couldn't make enough iPad minis to meet demand last quarter, hence the delayed shipping times. Supply constraints for the new iMac really hurt overall Mac sales. The iPhone's sales aren't going to be able to really explode internationally until Apple can get prices down in emerging markets and strike a deal with the largest carrier in the world, China Mobile (which is something that's rumored to happen soon).
And Wall Street analysts hold Apple's performance to crazy high standards. When you have a company that has grown at the insane rate Apple has over the last decade, you start to have unrealistic expectations. Apple's growth has started to plateau, but that doesn't mean that the company is faltering. Sales are still up across the board. Now Tim Cook finally has some room to breathe and prove himself as the new CEO.
Don't let the value of Apple's stock determine the overall health of the company. It's an important factor, but not the only litmus test. When Apple stops making great products and setting record sales, then you should start worrying. So far, still good.

Controversial teacher evaluation system is working in D.C., study says
Howard Beal Provo, UTOct. 20, 2013 3:52 p.m.
If you were a teacher in D.C. I'm sure you would want to get to a more affluent neighborhood school ASAP to save your career...
squirt Taylorsville, utOct. 18, 2013 7:35 p.m.
OK so let me be clear-we are celebrating the firing of teachers based on student test scores!!! Really??? DC's system has been fraught with problems. I prefer citizens who are critical thinkers, articulate, collaborators, and well-rounded.
I also believe that teachers should be celebrated. Evaluation systems should IMPROVE instruction not be measured as successful by the number of teachers who are let go.
DN why not publish and celebrate teachers not practices which are failing our students and public education.

Halcyon House
Mary Lou Edgar from Crawfordsville recently moved to Halcyon House. Mary Lou is the mother of two children, Cathy Schafer of Keosauqua and Bill of Crawfordsville. She and her late husband farmed in the area and enjoyed dancing. Mary Lou worked at the University of Iowa in Iowa City for 10 years. She belongs to a sewing group and likes to sew. Mary Lou is getting settled and looks forward to enjoying the amenities at Halcyon and meeting her neighbors.
Glenys Clark provided transportation to the concert at the Washington Community Center on Feb. 16. Audrey Stark, Betty Osincup, Marcella Reed and Virginia Tschantz enjoyed spending the afternoon with "Charlie Albright," the thoughtful young artist who wowed the audience with his distinctive musicality.
Martha Chabal spent the weekend at the home of her granddaughter, Rachael, in Iowa City. They shopped, visited, laughed and had a great night at a Japanese restaurant where the entertainment was watching the meal prepared before their eyes. Sheila Corey came later in the week from Columbia, Mo., to visit her mom and run errands.
Heart Health Month was recognized by wellness intern Molly McGinnis through the organization of a heart-healthy luncheon. Lyn Fischer of Public Health gave a presentation on the many ways to keep one's heart healthy. The meal was prepared and served by the Applewood Bistro that included a quinoa salad, salmon and corn chowder soup, a delicious low-calorie chocolate dessert and red wine.
Wellness intern Aaron Wagoner designed an exercise class for the Sitler and Avalon House residents on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. An additional Bible study class is being made available to the Avalon House due to the popularity of the assisted living class that Aaron is heading up.
Wellness Department Director Becky Carter has done several Passion Pledge workshops this past week. Check out the doors hanging in the front foyer where staff and residents have completed a key pledging their year-long passion and purpose. Hopefully, there will be a connection with another such as pairing two passions together that would enjoy traveling.
Many thanks to Washington area churches that so graciously take turns providing church services to the residents of Halcyon House every Sunday afternoon. In February, the Washington Mennonite Church with Roger Farmer delivered the sermon "Jesus as the Good Shepherd," with Scripture from Psalm 23. Carol Detweiler was the pianist with quartet members Tim Widmer, Roger Farmer, Jon Widmer and Myron Graber and Karen Seaton on the accordion. The Rev. Nelson Beachy's of the Haven Mennonite Church message was "Wait on the Lord" with the Scripture taken from Psalm 27. Pastor James Belive of Marion Avenue Baptist Church spoke that "Jesus is Our Hope" and the Scripture was read from John 1:1-14.
A recap of February's movie night included "National Velvet" with Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor, "The Parent Trap" starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson and Lindsay Lohan, and "Black Beauty." These are all old family favorites that are entertaining that everyone enjoyed seeing again.
Ethel's program featured "Lucky Penny Day." A word search puzzle of words pertaining to coins was first on the agenda with homemade lucky penny cookies served to the audience. Trivia was shared about the 11 different designs featured on the penny. In March 1793, the mint distributed 11,178 copper cents. The Lincoln penny was first minted in 1909 and portrays his face to the right of the coin while all other coin portraits face to the left. Abraham Lincoln was the first real person living or deceased to be featured on a circulated United States coin. The penny was also the first U.S. coin to have the motto "In God We Trust." Pennies are presently made from a metal combination of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper.
Front Porch Travels has been a whirlwind of adventure this month. Participants visited the rocky shores of Maine's Acadia National Park to the glowing sunset of the Florida Everglades. They traveled to the country gardens of Giardino Del Ninfa that is located south of Rome, visited charming cottage gardens in England and went on a tour with Audrey Hepburn to the farmhouse gardens surrounding Holcombe House of Dorset. "The Gardens of the Worlds," a PBS series, was about the spectacular setting from the Renaissance gardens of Italy and the 20th century gardens of England with Audrey Hepburn as host.
Staff members Kirk and Darby entertained in the Day Lounge on Wednesday afternoon with Kirk playing the guitar and the duo singing. They were well received by a full room of residents who enjoy their performance each and every time.

Secure Deletion Procedure
This procedure applies to any electronic media which is required to be securely deleted because of the type of data it contains.
This procedure covers the process for securely deleting electronic media which either currently contains or previously contained information classified as Loyola Protected data or Loyola Sensitive data, which will be refered to as "covered data" in this procedure.
Hard drives
When a computer with a hard drive containing covered data is replaced, it initially will be stored in accordance with the existing equipment replacement policy. When the hard drive would normally be placed back into circulation, it must first be securely deleted before this happens.
To securely delete a hard drive, an ITS technician will place the hard drive into a computer and boot a copy of an approved whole drive secure deletion tool, as listed in the appendix. The ITS technician will then run the program, performing one complete overwrite.
USB drives
When a USB drive containing covered data needs to be discarded, an ITS technician will attach the USB drive to a computer and run an approved granular secure deletion tool, as listed in the appendix. The ITS technician will then run the program, performing one complete overwrite.
Floppy diskettes, CD-Roms, DVD-Roms, and other similar media
When any form of media, which is inserted into a desktop drive, containing covered data needs to be discarded, the media must be physically destroyed. This is most easily accomplished by using a pair of scissors to cut the media in half. It is also acceptable to send the media through a shredding device. This does not need to be performed by an ITS technician.
Backup tapes
When a backup tape needs to be discarded, the backup tape must be sent through a degaussing device. Because it is difficult to determine which specific
files are on which specific tape, all backup tapes are subject to this policy. If an area has backup tapes but does not have a degaussing device, they can provide the backup tapes to ITS. An ITS technician will then degauss the backup tapes. Once the backup tapes are degaussed, they can be discarded.
Broken devices or media
If a device or piece of media is unable to be read, it must be either degaussed or physically destroyed. If an area is unsure of how to do so, or does not have a degaussing device, they can contact ITS. ITS will pickup the device or piece of media. The ITS technician will then either physically destroy the device or degauss it, depending on which is more appropriate.
Network Devices
All network devices should have their configuration and vlan databases securely deleted when a network device (firewall, router, switch, etc) is decommissioned. The process for a secure delete utilizes the following steps:
- write erase
- delete flash:vlan.dat
- squeeze
The last step is an important process to ensure that the files are permanently removed from flash memory. Supported documentation may be found on Cisco's website.

Letter to the Editor Walk to school day a success
On behalf of PartnerSHIP4Health, thank you to the Perham-Dent School District, St Paul's Lutheran School and St. Henry's Catholic School for hosting International Walk to School Day on Wednesday Oct. 5. It was a wonderful celebration of more than 1,000 participants walking and biking along the Cal Miller Bike route.
We appreciate the investment of time and energy given by the schools and many volunteers. This strategic event sets the stage for healthy, active living for our next generation.
We are a nation at risk with alarming obesity rates on the rise. It's imperative that we get our students moving. What an important message you gave to the students of Perham on International Walk to School Day.
We can measure our success not only in that one special morning, but when we have more students walking and biking more frequently we'll have sustained our efforts.
Your Perham schools know that activity results in improved learning and they've been a model in increasing activity throughout the school day. Let's support those efforts as a community because we all benefit.
Special thanks go to Coordinator Trish McClellan, Perham Memorial Hospital and Home for donating apples, Bauck Bus Company and its drivers, the police force, City Officials, the Perham Dent School Board, volunteers from the Lions Club and Rotary, Lakes Area Bike Club, and to the families that participated.
