Missing the marks? Dispersion in corporate bond valuations across mutual funds
We study the dispersion of month-end valuations placed on identical corporate bonds by different mutual funds. Such dispersion is related to bond-specific characteristics associated with liquidity and market volatility. TRACE may have contributed to the general decline in dispersion over our sample period, though other factors most likely played roles. Further tests reveal marking patterns to be consistent with returns smoothing behavior by managers. Funds with ambiguous marking policies and those holding 'hard-to-mark' bonds appear more prone to smooth reported returns. From a regulatory perspective, we see little downside to requiring funds to explicitly state their marking standards.

Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, proposed to the United Nations General Assembly to adopt June 21st of each year as the International Day of Yoga. In his address he said, "Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being."
The potential impact yoga can have on world health was key to the U.N. passing this resolution with an overwhelming majority. Similarly, PURE Action's vision is to "Heal the World with Yoga." As a 501(c)3 nonprofit funding yoga research, we believe that a regular yoga practice should be an integral part of our health insurance and health maintenance.
Mardy and I have been practicing Bikram Yoga for over 15 years. We have experienced the power of yoga to heal old injuries, repair current ones, and de-stress our minds in the midst of today's chaotic world. Yoga is indeed "the best medicine." We formed PURE Action, Inc. with the mission of bringing the ancient benefits of yoga to mainstream medicine. We are thrilled that the United Nations is recognizing this holistic approach to health and that our mission is aligned with their resolution.
To introduce more of the general public to authentic Hatha yoga, we have declared Sunday, June 21, 2015, as a FREE Day of Yoga at all of our PURE Bikram Yoga studios. As a celebration of the International Day of Yoga, we will conduct all classes free of charge, and we will lead special classes with the specific asana series prescribed in the official site of International Day of Yoga.
Coincidentally, June 21st is also Father's Day. At PURE, we have a special yoga dad and teacher, Edy Bailey. Read his testimonial in this month's Austin Awakenings magazine. Inspire your dad to experience the life-changing and life-saving benefits of a regular Bikram Yoga practice. Remember: NO flexibility is required!
See you in the hot room!

Since it would be boring if I just list those three films, I'll just tell you more a bit about each of them.
- Crazy Little Thing About Love - It is a romantic comedy Thai movie about an ugly girl who fell in love with a very handsome guy and because she became inspired to do better so that he would notice her, she succeeded in doing so (she became prettier, did better in academics, etc.) then it turned out that the guy liked her too. Well, I bet most of you watched the movie already and have their own opinions of it too, but mine would be that I find this movie inspiring and that it's really meant for teens since they could relate to it.
- Rush Hour 3 - I guess all of you have heard about this movie. It's an action comedy movie starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, and maybe you already know the rest. This is just one of the movies that I've watched over and over again, and never get tired of it.
- Meet Dave - It's a comedy movie about an alien spaceship who appears as a human form who landed as a massive fireball on Earth. While trying to save their planet, the aliens inside the spaceship encountered a new problem, as their ship becomes smitten with an Earth woman. This was a pretty funny movie. hahah! It's really worth the watch, that is, in my opinion. xD
That would be it for now! :) School's fast approaching, and I'm pretty excited already!
Here's a video for you to watch:

PA rejects Israeli criteria for prisoner release as Sharon cabinet approves move
The Israeli cabinet voted 13-8 to approve the release of Palestinian prisoners. At first, cabinet members tied 10-10, but three ministers later changed their vote in support of the move.
The ministers agreed to change their vote under two conditions: the cabinet established a ministerial committee to decide which prisoners will be released and added a clause to the prisoner release document saying that the release is dependent on the Palestinians' fight against "terror," Haaretz reported.
Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told his cabinet Sunday that no Palestinian prisoner who killed Israeli civilians will be released. The cabinet began debating the issue after Sharon outlined the criteria for releasing prisoners.
However, the Israeli criteria do not meet Palestinian expectations, and that difference might be great enough to lead to an end of the cease-fire agreement. A Palestinian minister said before the Israeli decision that the PA would break off from the truce agreement if Israel decides not to release all prisoners, including members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Hisham Abd al-Raziq, the Palestinian minister in charge of overseeing the release of the Palestinian detainees, said that the prisoner release issue was a potential deal-breaker, and that if Israel did not free all the Palestinian prisoners whom the PA wants let out, the Palestinians would see the security agreement as broken.
In an interview with Israel's Army Radio, Abd al-Raziq said that "from our point of view, this is the most important issue and Israel has to decide, in principle, that it will release all of them, and carry out the decision gradually."
"If there will be a decision that one of the criteria is not to release Hamas or Jihad prisoners with blood on their hands, we cannot be part of this deal. We will leave the
cease-fire," he said.
About 6,000 Palestinians are being held in Israeli jails and detention camps. (Albawaba.com)

I know everyone hates these but I'm not Rick Riordan. I'm just kidding; I'm the guy who invented Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. But I hate you all so I sent them to tartarus. No, if I was Rick I would be a hundred times nicer to them, but sadly I don't own them, I only own the story's plot. Well on that note, on with the story.
Jason's POV
I was walking towards the beach fumbling with the small box in my pocket. It felt like a hundred pounds when in reality it probably only weighed less than a quarter of a pound. Piper was sitting on the dock with her feet in the water. Watching the little campers splash in the water before the sun sets and the camp fire starts.
After the war against Gaia I decided to stay at Camp Half-Blood with Piper. It had to be one of the best decisions of my life and after 2 amazing years of dating I was going to ask her to marry me.
The night before I asked Percy what he did when he asked Annabeth. He told me he just straight out asked her. Now I can understand why she calls him seaweed brain.
I decided to plan out a nice meal in the woods by the stream and ask her there. I got a ton of help from the Aphrodite cabin and with how much they gossip I'm surprised that she hasn't heard about it yet.
I sat down beside her and put an arm around her and asked "What are you thinking of? Maybe of a super hot guy who you want to go on a walk with."
"Your right, I do. Leo is pretty hot when he's on fire. Also I haven't heard from him since he went on that quest a few days ago." Piper said sarcastically. "Where are we going?"
I smiled at her "How about the woods." I sat up and pulled her up. Not letting go of her hand I led her towards the picnic at the stream.
"Wow" she said when we got there "Did you plan all of this?"
"Yah, you didn't think I would forget our two year anniversary did you?"
Piper held her breath. "I'm so sorry I forgot. I have been so busy with everything else I totally forgot."
"Its okay," I replied to her. "It doesn't really matter."
"Yes it does. We have been together for two years and I totally forgot the anniversary." We sat down on the blanket. I opened up the basket I had put there earlier and got out the pasta and strawberries.
I remembered the ring in my pocket and decided now would be just as good as a time as ever. I got on one knee.
"Piper, I will love you no matter if you remember or don't remember our anniversary. I have always loved you since I laid my eyes on you in the wilderness school bus and can't imagine my life with out you. So I was wondering. Would you Piper McLean do me the honor of marrying me?"
Piper looked a little shocked. She slowly started to nod faster and faster until her head was like a bobble head. "Yes, a thousand times yes." She kissed me. When we broke up I got out the ring and slid it on her ring finger. "What type of rock is this? It's not diamond."
"It's jasper. I always hear your cabin calling us that so I though I would be a little different and use it instead of a diamond." I told her.
"Well I love it. When are we going to have the wedding? And where are we going to have it?" Piper asked.
"I don't know and I don't care you can make all of the decisions later. As long as it isn't interrupted by monsters like Percy's wedding I don't care about the details. Just as long as it's you and me up there and us in the future." I said.
We finished up the food and started cleaning up. "My cabin is sure going to make a big fuss about this." She told me. "I just hope it doesn't keep me up like after Percy asked Annabeth. Those were the longest, most sleep deprived two months of my life. How can they have enough to talk about to last night after night for two months?"
I laughed at that. Piper ended up sleeping in my cabin and you could still here them talk. It was a nice time though. "Ready to go?"
"Yah, lets go." We started to walk back to the cabins. "Well I will see you tomorrow fiancé." I smiled, "I will never get used to that." I kissed her good night and went back to my cabin.
I can't believe I asked Piper to marry me and she said yes. I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. As soon as I touched my bed I fell asleep dreaming of our wedding.
Hey thanks for reading if I have anything that should be added or edited just comment me. Also if you have other story ideas and have no time to write comment me any ideas you will be recognized for your idea though. Just to make sure I only do these couples; Percabeth, Thalico, Jasper, Leyna, Gruniper, Frazel, Beckalina, and Tratie.

My love for Buffalo sauce, goat cheese and cauliflower is quite serious and borderline obsessive. We go through the tessamae hot buffalo sauce like water in our house. I just put it on this that and everything.
I went to Jospehine a few weeks ago and they had a buffalo and cauliflower appetizer that kind of inspired this recipe. I know that it is pretty standard to put bleu cheese with buffalo but I decided to do a creamy goat cheese instead. The main reason being that I can't tolerate cow dairy very well. Goat cheese melts very differently so don't be alarmed if there is a little bit of separation between the buffalo and the melted cheese.
This is a really simple and flavorful side dish that goes well with just about everything and would be a great dish to serve during some March Madness parties.
- 1 head cauliflower florets
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (I prefer tessemae's)
- ¼ cup goat cheese (chevre)
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add the olive oil
- Cut the cauliflower florets of the stems and in to bite size pieces.
- Once the oil is hot add the cauliflower to the pan and sprinkle the salt on top. Let sauté for about 3 minutes and then put a lid on the pan and cook for another 5-8 minutes or until cauliflower is starting to soften.
- Remove the cauliflower from the pan and set aside on a plate or in a bowl.
- Add the buffalo sauce and goat cheese and continually stir the mixture until cheese has melted.
- Add the cauliflower back to the skillet and let it cook in the buffalo sauce for 3-5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately while hot.
- Buffalo sauce and goat cheese may separate some but mixture is still fine.

Where can I find a fuse box cover for a 2007 Mazda6? (the fuse box is near the driver's feet area). I checked with my local Mazda dealer, but they are out of stock for 2007 models. Does anybody know where I can find one online?
check online for stock @ other dealers.
other than that you would just have to browse resources for misc used parts sales... forums, oem online stores, etc.
obscure parts like that are sometimes pretty hard to find, GL man.

NY mayor Michael Bloomberg says a new $US10 million ($A11 million) prize to develop more fuel-efficient cars will help reduce the US dependence on oil.
Bloomberg was at the New York International Auto Show last week to help introduce the Automotive X Prize, which will award $US10 million ($A11 million) to teams that develop production-ready cars that get 100 miles to the gallon or more.
"We really need some new thinking. We need some innovation," Bloomberg said.
"I don't think there's any bigger threat to our world and to our country than global warming and our dependency on oil, and the automobile is really at the root of both of those things."
X Prize Foundation Chairman and Chief Executive Dr Peter Diamandis stressed that the competition will focus on cars that people really could drive.
"We're not talking about concept cars. We're talking about real cars that can be brought to market in the near term that consumers will want to buy," he said.
The Santa Monica, California-based X Prize Foundation said 64 teams from 10 countries already have signed up to participate in the competition, which will include cross-country races in 2009 and 2010. Progressive Casualty Insurance Co. is funding the prize.
Bloomberg, who is a billionaire, joked that he might want to fund a prize of his own someday. The X Prize Foundation is best known for prizes promoting space flights.

In case you haven't heard the buzz surrounding Freddie Colloca, the young vocalist has been dubbed by many "the Ricky Martin of Christian music." Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Freddie grew up in a Christian and musical family. His father was part of a popular Latin Christian folk group, eventually becoming a pastor and assuming a leadership role in Miami, Florida. Growing up in a culture equally influenced by Top-40 radio as Latin music, Freddie began playing keyboards with his church worship band as a teenager, eventually becoming worship leader at age 15. Planning to pursue a career in ministry like his father, he earned a Bible college degree through Trinity International University and also studied music for a year at The Center of Musical Dynamics in Mexico City (under the guidance of worship-leader Marcos Witt). Armed with musical and biblical knowledge, Freddie released two independent recordings during college, gradually earning an audience in the Miami area and a record contract with One Voice Records. His third album,
One glance at the resume of Don Koch, who oversaw 6 of the 10 songs, will tell you exactly what the album sounds like. In many ways, the music is interchangeable with anything you've heard by 4Him, NewSong, Avalon, Greg Long, Rachael Lampa, … take your pick. Is this Latin pop? Yes and no. On the Don Koch-produced tracks, apparently you only need to throw in a little bit of Spanish guitar to be classified as such. There's a particularly beautiful Spanish guitar solo on "Surrounded," but for the most part you've heard the same sort of "Latin pop" from other Christian artists attempting to imitate the genre. The four tracks produced by Hal Batt fare a little better, demonstrating a slightly more authentic and sophisticated flavor of Latin-influenced pop. "Song of my Heart" is a successful blend of rhythmic Spanish guitars, a dance-club beat, and a Latin-sounding melody. The standout track on the album is the first song, "Unconditional Love," on which Hal and Freddie pull out all the stops — thick drum programming, Latin percussion, an aggressive electronic bass line, punchy brass, and big vocals. Of all the songs, this one sounds the most like something Ricky Martin or Marc Anthony could perform. Surprisingly, Hal Batt also produced "Just When I Needed You Most," a sweeping inspirational ballad that's probably the least Latin-sounding track on the album.

DEAR MERCURY—In your July 21 article "Break Out the Mosquito Nets!" [News], reporter Amanda Waldroupe warns that Portland may face a climate change-induced malaria crisis. Fellow Portlanders may be relieved to learn, then, that we have tons of potent anti-malaria medicine available free of cost here. It's growing on our streets. The root bark of the so-called invasive weed known as Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) contains compounds shown to be antimicrobial, according to a study by the National Institute of Health, and, most interestingly, effective against drug-resistant malaria, according to a study by Washington University in St. Louis. Anyone can make an alcohol extract of the root bark or fruit to cure herself. (I have posted the studies and the recipe on my Portland foraging blog, firstways.com.)

DEAR SARAH [MIRK]—Thank you for giving publicity to the problems at Milepost 5 ["Mutiny at Milepost 5," News, July 28, regarding disputes between the tenants of the city-supported live-work artist community and its management]. As a tenant with a 12-month lease, I can honestly say that the tensions are not due to "misunderstandings," but rather to "dishonesty and disappointment" related to promises made to us when we moved here. Much of my optimism faded after 100 days without hot water in my work/live space, fumes from neurotoxic primer (KILZ) belching from interior air vents, and asbestos removal on the first floor after living here for nine months. I developed further concerns regarding safety issues after frequently finding outside doors unlocked at night, discovering that two bicycles had [been] stolen, and seeing fire extinguishers still sitting on hallway floors 10 months after moving in. Should tenants have been exposed to these oversights? On-site laundry facilities did not materialize until more than six months after I moved in; a workshop/room that is woefully inadequate and without tools didn't show up until last month; the EAT "theater" is without a real stage/curtains/lighting and suffers from poor acoustics—the EAT restaurant was not open for scheduled food service until June 2011 and is not affordable for low-income artists. Yesterday the final straw was added to the pile; we received notice that our rents and utility bills would increase at the end of our current leases. At this time, some of us have emailed [developers] Brad [Malsin] and Ted [Gilbert] with a request to meet face to face with them to discuss it. Some of my neighbors cannot afford to move and will be saddled with further expenses of rising rent/utility that is a problem for them too. Personally, I have not decided what I will do—I doubt my future will include living at Milepost 5 as part of my professional career path.

DEAR MERCURY—I was curious if you were ever planning on explaining what your paper had been doing to me these last few years in light of the astounding violence [that] has followed the media's "Dave Tracking Project" so far [We have no idea what he's talking about either—Eds.]. Before you ask me to lawyer up and prove why you are all a bunch [of] individually wrapped tumors infecting Portland media, I was wondering if maybe you had some kind of explanation that I could pass along to the families of various victims. What exactly is your malfunction anyway? I got a body count so far this year that is just beyond description and I am wondering why I have to call a group like Amnesty International on the local alt-rag, aside from the assumption that your casual heroin habits simply make you too stupid to understand how many lives you've ruined.

TO THE MERCURY VIA VOICEMAIL—Hi, on your PDX Approved Readers' Choice, Portland Mercury edition 2011 [supplement]: On the "My Favorite Grocery Store" heading you neglected to include WinCo stores. W-I-N-C-O. They're the cheapest store in town if you want to buy basic food. It has nothing to do with any brand names or anything, but they have a great selection of produce, meat, fish—anything you can think of—dairy products, frozen food. It's a you-bag-it store, and you just go in there anytime. WinCo: W-I-N-C-O. I'm on Social Security and that's my favorite store, and that's where I've been going to the last 13 to 14 years. Please include that in your next edition. I feel it's been left out. Really left out. Thanks.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Social Security recipient who stood up for WinCo's curious absence from the results of our readers' survey. (Yeah, what's up with that, READERS?) You win two tickets to the Laurelhurst Theater and lunch at the People's Sandwich of Portland, which takes basic food to a whole 'nother level.
In the 2011 edition of the PDX Approved Readers' Choice supplement, we mistakenly interviewed the management of Hawthorne Liquor Store rather than the survey's winner, 11th Avenue Liquor. Sorry! We were drunk. Also, the article "Mutiny at Milepost 5" [News, July 28] incorrectly stated that Milepost 5's studios building does not have an organic garden. The building did not have a garden when it opened, but has one now.

I am glad that awareness is being spread to amphibians as well. Because how many bird species depend on amphibians for food. Wading birds, water birds, and raptors, can they all find alternatives, than just fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.

The cost of Pacific Highway crashes
The NRMA has completed a study looking at the cost of crashes on the Pacific Highway

A motoring lobby group says crashes on the Pacific Highway are costing the state economy $170 million a year.
The NRMA says a study done in conjunction with the Volunteer Rescue Association analysed the cost of crashes across the state between 2006 and 2010.
It put the cost of Pacific Highway accidents at more than $840 million during that period.
The NRMA's Graham Blight says serious crashes have wide-ranging repercussions.
"Cost of the vehicle, it could be a write off, then of course is the hospital cost, the health cost, the rehabilitation," he said.
"Sometimes that doesn't take a long time but sometimes it does, and then there's the other social costs involved.
"The impact on the family, someone's that badly injured the other partner might not be able to go to work or issues like that."
Mr Blight is also calling for the installation of cost-effective road safety measures on other dangerous north coast roads.
He says wire-rope barriers can be erected at a cost of $80 a metre.
"Now just to give you an example of how effective they are, in New Zealand, there was a road over there 3.5 kilometres long, every year there were about six or seven fatal accidents on it," he said.
"Now they've put a wire strip down the middle to keep cars apart, they've gone from seven to zero."

Rate Allocation for SVC Transmission in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks
Due to the resource limitations, efficient multimedia transmission is still a challenging problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). To achieve this goal, provisioning the required rate and quality of video stream along with limitations of sensor nodes should be considered. The Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is an efficient approach to support the graceful quality reduction and scalability of multimedia application thus, the authors adopt it to encode video streams. In this paper, both Network Utility Maximization (NUM) and utility proportional optimization for scalable multimedia transmission in WSNs are addressed. Link congestion and energy scarcity of sensor nodes are considered as the constraints in optimization problems.

I am planning a trip this March that starts with 4 or 5 nights Siena. I was going to do two day trips, one to Arezzo and one to Montalcino. The Arezzo one looks pretty easy by bus (thanks to those who answered my questions last fall about this). But for Montalcino I'm not finding anything that works. I see a bus from Siena to Montalcino that gets there about noon which is great, but don't see any options that work for the return. Since my next destination is Orvieto I though it would make more sense to overnight in Montalcino, even though it means another hotel change. But that doesn't really bother me. But I can't find any routes - bus or train from Montalcino to Orvieto.
Do I need put in some other town as a change? Is train or bus better. I'm gusessing bus but I can't find schedule. Anyone know?

By train, looks like you have to backtrack to Siena then change at Chiusi-Chianciano Terme. What a pain. No bus either.

Bus to Buonconvento, then train to Siena, then train to Orvieto.
More than 4 hours for a 1:20 drive equivalent.

Isabel, That will not be easy- as you have learned.
If you want the easy way then contact Alex at this site. He is good---I have used him---and he is local.

What if you went to Buonconvento, checked into a hotel, and then went to Montalcino. Can you get back to Buonconvento to spend the night? Good restaurants in Buonconvento and it is a sweet town.

Thanks all. I guess it looks like more trouble than it's worth. Of the major guide books most of them don't even consider that you wouldn't be driving, or they totally ignore logistics, and the one that does (Frommers) makes it sound like there are plenty of buses from Siena to/from Montalcino. Too bad, Montalcino looks nice, maybe next time.
On the plus side, in researching public transportation even more closely than I had, I discovered that Arezzo to Orvieto is only a one hour train ride. My original plan had me doing Arezzo by bus from Siena as a day trip and then moving on to Orvieto the next day by train. So now I think I'll spend the night in Arezzo - means an extra hotel but also means less transportation time/trouble and I get to spend more time in Arezzo.

Please put some pictures up of the Piero della Francescas. It must be nearly 20 years since I was there and I am sure they have been done up since then.

You can day trip from Siena to Montalcino. There should be return buses late afternoon (last return bus at 7:30). Did you not want to stay that late?
Otherwise, Montalcino/Orvieto requires multiple changes. Bus requires multiple changes - Montalcino to Torreneiri or San Quirico, change to bus to Montepulciano where you have to change again to Chiancian-Chiusi and then catch the train (too many changes!).
There are some taxi services/drivers in Montalcino if you did want to spend the night and have them drive you (Buonconvento isn't really far if you wanted them drive you to the train). I haven't used these guys (seems Bob has), but they have a taxi service and a wine shop. They used to have rooms available over the wine shop. Don't know if they still do as they don't seem to have it listed on their links anymore. They've never advertised the rooms much, just had a small bit of info on their taxi website.
Here's the other listings for Montalcino.

Siena to Orvieto is a simple trip with a train change in Chiusi. What makes it difficult is Montalcino.
The bus connections to Siena are spokes centered in Siena designed for commuters to travel into Siena in the morning and return back in the evening. If you are starting trip from Siena, you are traveling counter to the designed schedules. Also difficult is moving between surrounding communities. People travel mostly to/from Siena, not between small communities, and the bus routes reflect this demand.

I enjoyed my stay at La Corte del Re in Arezzo. I also had an absolutely wonderful lunch at Borgo S. Piero on the via Cisalpina. If you have time in Arezzo, one of the most beautiful Renaissance churches in all of Tuscany (I think), inside and outside, is the Santuario di Santa Maria delle Grazie. It is not impossible to walk there, but it is a trek, so better to take a taxi. It is not far from the train station, so if you are taking a taxi to or from the station, you could ask the driver to swing by and wait for you while you go inside. It is a very small interior with a fantastic della Robbia altar. All of it is a gem.

kybourbon - yeah I saw that bus, it's the only one. So technically yes, I could do it as a day trip. It would mean almost eight hours there which I think might be a bit much, plus if that bus didn't run, or I missed it or something I'd be totally screwed. I usually like to plan day trips where I have at least one more option to get back to my base than the one I'm planning on (a 'Plan B'). So I could do Montalcino as a day trip but I'm just thinking now it's not worth the effort. When I came up with the idea of doing it as a stopover (spend the night) on the way to Orvieto that looked good just looking at a map, but of course the public transportation options mean that doesn't work.
Sandra - I was looking at La Corte del Re. It looks great, glad to hear you liked it. Do you recall how long a walk it is from the train/bus station? Since I'm only going to be there one night I usually look for something pretty close to the station (but not right next to it) so I can drop the bag and then enjoy the town without it.

If you did visit Montalcino, you should plan for lunch when you get there. Most places will quit serving after 2:30 or so, but a few remain open all day (Enoteca Osticcio for one and they have great views). You will find the typical afternoon closings for a couple of hours, but you can visit the Fortezza then. I think your plan B would have to be a taxi to Buonconvento and the last train back to Siena.
Once you are in Siena, you will find your hotel and the tourist office will have options for day trips to Montalcino if you don't mind going with a group. Some combine with other nearby places (Pienza, a vineyard or the Abbey). Usually the Montalcino part is free time. If you do this, check how much time you actually have in Montalcino to see if it's enough for you.

Hi Isabel,
I guess you have your reasons for not wanting to rent a car, but I'll just say driving around Tuscany and Umbria was a joy for me on more than one trip! Easy and lots of freedom.
Anyway, I hope you do make it to Montalcino soon. I loved this little town, the great day trips nearby, winetasting at the Fortezz with the incredible views, and excellent dinners at Grappolo Blu.
Have a wonderful trip!

I would choose Orvieto over Montepulciano any day. The funicular is fun, the town is charming, the cathedral is lovely, the views are stunning and the food, La Palomba in particular, is very good.

You will need a taxi to Corte del Re. It is right at the edge of the piazza Grande.

kybourbon - yes I did think there might be tour options, and I'll definitely take a look once I'm there.
dayle - this trip I am solo so I never rent a car when I'm alone. I have done a driving trip in the area, but it was 13 years ago. I did visit most of the 'main tourist' towns on that trip, Montalcino was the one we skipped. And some day we'll probably do another driving trip in the area.
tarquin - yes I agree, that's why I'm staying several nights in Orvieto.
thanks sandra

Just as a PS, I have found that the Cadogan guides to Italy include the most information about public transport options. Michelin will include the least -- because the publications was started by an auto tire company! All of them need to be double checked against current information. Although I have never bought a Rick Steves guidebook, I have heard they are updated very frequently, and that their message boards favor using public transport over renting a car for Tuscany.
Speaking very generally, a significant part of the popularity of "Tuscany" as a destination for Americans is precisely because it is a car-oriented, scenic drive destination, plus the feeling of the towns being ideal "gated communities". Of course the historic settlements of Tuscany have many more dimensions that that, but for many people buying English-language guidebooks, their main interest is being behind the wheel.

Gertie, the first time I was in Arezzo was 14-15 years ago, and the Piero della Francesca frescoes were being restored at that time. So, if you haven't been there for 20 years, they have definitely been restored since then. I've been there again more recently and saw them after the restoration.
There is a little museum under the Basilica that has temporary exhibits, sometimes very interesting.

The trend is for bus service to be cut back. It used to be possible to visit several towns in one day using buses from Siena, but it's become virtually impossible now.

I tend to forget about the rail lines that aren't Trenitalia. If you are going to Arezzo from Siena and bus times don't work out, there is the TFT train that operates between Sinalunga/Arezzo/Stia. You can connect in Sinalunga from Siena instead of going through Florence by train. Don't know if that shortens the trip any.

Is that the little train that stops in Poppi en route to Stia? I remember hopping on and off that for a glorious day with fantastic scenery. We just went out from Arezzo and back.

Illinois During the Gilded Age
Pullman. — A Social and Industrial Study.
The town of Pullman, nine miles south of Chicago, on the shore of a beautiful sheet of water known as Lake Calumet, is one of the most gigantic practical experiments in the direction of proving the possible harmonious relations between capital and labor, or rather between capitalists and laborers, that this country or any other has ever seen.
A few years ago an editorial writer on the London Times said, that one of the most significant facts in the social and industrial development of the day was the fraternization of thinkers and working men. "If you wish," he asserted, "to hear the writings of Mill and Spencer and Bentham and Huxley intelligently and earnestly discussed, go among a company of working men who are agitating among themselves the question how they may better their condition."
The observation made by this writer as to the fraternization of thinkers and working men in England is true also in this country; indeed it obtains to a far greater extent here, and it is a most encouraging sign of the times. Good theories must always precede good practice. Principles must be clearly understood and enunciated before they can successfully be introduced as factors in the social order. But next to the good and wise theorist; next to the man who "has a clear vision of the ethical code necessary for the prosperity of the people," comes "the man of affairs who has the gift of discerning in exact detail the conditions necessary to form vast combinations of man with man, and thing with thing, so as to produce great results for the nation and the race."
The first class of leaders and teachers and helpers of the world comprise the statesmen and philosophers who formulate and emphasize the great underlying principles upon which only a permanent and healthful and uplifting social order can be built. These emphasize the necessity of universal freedom; of universal education, of suffrage, of equal rights and equal opportunities for all; of the framing of wise laws and the devising of efficient means for the administration of justice. These leaders and teachers of the people may be impracticable and one-sided in detail; they may be and often are men who cannot manage their own business affairs successfully; nevertheless the world recognizes and honors them for what they are — a noble and useful class of thinkers and world benefactors.
But after society has accepted and acted upon these great fundamental principles; after it has inaugurated a governmental order based upon them, a new class of problems arises which as imperatively as any preceding problems require solution. These are connected with the industrial development of society; with the aggregation of people in cities; with the organization and division of labor and the supplanting of manual labor by the introduction of machinery. All of these problems may be classified under one general head, the problem of capital and labor. It is not too sweeping an assertion that nearly all our modern social problems may be referred to the inharmonious and abnormal relation between these, or rather between capitalists and laborers; between employers and employed. Nearly all the sorest ills under which society groans may be traced to the wages question and to the conditions of life among the laboring classes. Ignorance that is inevitable because the children of wage-workers must even in childhood enter into the struggle for the means of existence, their parents not being able to give enough both to support and school them; vice and disease that
15are the result of the squalor and misery which infest the homes of a large proportion of laborers in cities and manufacturing centres; pauperism, crime — these society cannot be rid of until the problem is solved: How can the laboring classes be enabled to secure, as the result of their labor, comfortable homes, decent surroundings and means wherewith to afford the opportunities of fair education to their children? For the solution of this problem are required, as has been remarked, men of affairs, practical men — men who can strike the golden mean between the purely scientific reconstructionists who would not oft a finger to soften the working of the inexorable law of competition upon which the industrial development of society is at present based, and who are willing to accept for humanity the cruel ultimatum of unfeeling nature, the survival of the fittest. Reason and the moral sentiment alike teach us that there is, there must be a way of reconciling and uniting the interests of capital and labor, of employers and employed; but many have been the failures in attempting to demonstrate practically how it can be done; and very heartfelt and sore have been the discouragements experienced by those who have been seeking to bring about an adjustment — discouragements experienced alike by those who represent and are identified with capital, and those whose lot has been among and who represent labor.
Capital, however, has made far fewer experiments and risked far less than have the wage-workers. There is something infinitely pathetic in the risks taken, the losses incurred, the privations endured by laborers in their efforts to force a solution of the labor problem and a bettering of their condition, and which in the end have proven only that they were mistaken in their methods. Capital can experiment with far greater prospect of success, as it always has upon its side the added advantage of intelligence and education. The most serious disadvantage of the laboring classes in all their struggles and experiments is their lack of intelligence, lack of knowledge of fundamental, social and economical principles; of the history and mistakes of the past, which they go on blindly repeating. Just in proportion as education and intelligence are disseminated among them do they apprehend and adopt better and wiser and more successful methods.
Not to mention in detail now several very successful experiments in Europe, and a few in this country, made by capitalists in the direction of elevating the condition and prospects of labor, some account of the plan and scope of the city of Pullman will be of interest to every student of social science and to every one interested in the progress and welfare of humanity.
Of course every one, both in this country and in Europe, who hears the name, will infer that the chief industry of Pullman is building sleeping, dining and palace cars. This is, as yet, the chief industry; but, as will be shown before this article is completed, it is the design of the founder of the city to include ultimately a great diversity of manufacturing interests. When Mr. Pullman determined to build a city here his first move was to secure the conditions of health. The first thing provided was a system of sewerage costing over $300,000 and draining the entire tract of land on which the city was to be built The skill of the landscape engineer and architect were combined in the location and grouping of the great buildings designed for manufacturing purposes and public uses. The city was laid out in broad avenues which were planted with trees; cottages and flats were erected for homes for the laborers which were all carefully planned by a competent architect so as to afford plenty of ventilation and light. There are no alleys, no dark sink-holes, no garbage receptacles in the whole city. The workshops, of immense size, are all airy, light and scientifically ventilated, All the buildings, the cottages, the flats, the workshops, the great water tower, the hotel, the depot, the Arcade, under which are collected the principal stores and the offices of the superintendents and clerical assistants, as well as other things to be hereinafter described, are planned with reference to a beautiful and harmonious architectural effect. It is indeed a wonderful and delightful picture that is presented to the eye of the visitor who gets off the train at Pullman. The first feature that strikes the eye is the beautiful and effective landscape gardening which presents to view smooth and gravelled roads winding hither and thither away from the picturesque little depot past great patches of green sod bordered with a splendid array of bright flowers and foliage plants, past a miniature lake, also bordered with many hued flowers, and then running into the wide, smooth avenues along which are planted thrifty young trees. Around the root of every tree is a bed of flowers; here it is pansies, there petunias, there geraniums, there scarlet phlox, there the blue-belled flax. We wonder if there are any children in the town, for we see no traces of the vandalism and destructiveness of the common type of school children. Strolling along the avenues we discover that there are hundreds of children — in fact more children to the square yard than we over saw before; seemingly from three to five on every grass plot before the doors of the neat two-story cottages, playing on the grass plots and the sidewalks, but never touching the flowers. Not one neglected or uncomfortable or unhealthy looking child was noticed among the scores on scores that we saw. All were well clothed, as clean as healthy children ought to be, and seemed to be happily at play. What a contrast to the children of the gutters and the alleys we had left at such a short distance behind us in Chicago!
Three different days were spent in visiting Pullman, and it seemed as if three weeks would not suffice to enable us to see all that was to be seen of interest and learn the details of this wonderful enterprise. It was, however, as a study of social industrial organization that we were chiefly interested in it, and as such we observed its buildings and population. It is of course interesting to capitalists and statisticians to know that nearly $6,000,000 have been expended here within two years, and that it is but a few months over two years since this now busy and beautiful city was bare, flat prairie. Now there is a resident population of over 6,000, and as 550 new cottages will be completed by January 1st, 1883, there is every prospect of the number being increased to 10,000 within the coming year. One of the largest foundries in the country is located here and is in full blast, its workmen being accommodated with homes in great rows of flats near the foundry. The Allen Paper Car Wheel Works, with a capital of $1,000,000, are in full operation here. Here are immense brick yards. All these, besides the car shops proper, which cover acres of ground, and where hundreds of Pullman cars are built yearly. The great Corliss engine of the Centennial exposition is here; the immense water tower that is the central architectural figure of the town is a mechanical and engineering wonder, holding in its lofty tank 500,000 of gallons of water at such an altitude that in case of fire any building in Pullman could easily be flooded. Beneath this tower is a vast reservoir into which all the sewerage of the city, except the surface find roof sewerage, is conducted, and from which it is raised by immense pumps, and sent through a conduit three miles long to a sewage farm. There is a play and ball ground of twelve acres reserved for and accessible to all the young folks of the place; there is a boating place on the lake, and an island is being cast up by dredging, for the use of the Pullman Athletic Club, upon which there will be a grand stand. A school house, costing $50,000, built after the latest and most approved models, is nearly completed. A library of many thousand volumes is now being selected, and will be located in the Arcade, a building covering an acre of ground, with stone-paved passage ways and roof of glass. This building has, as one of its principal features, a theatre which will seat fifteen hundred persons. The interior arrangement, finish and decorations of this theatre are unsurpassed for beauty and refined taste by any theatre in Chicago. Speaking of the fact that he had employed one of the best scenic artists from New York to paint the scenery, Mr. Pullman said: "I want the people who work at Pullman to have the advantages of seeing the best; I want no cheap, crude, inartistic work in any department. I have faith in the educational and refining influences of beauty and beautiful and harmonious surroundings, and hesitate at no reasonable expenditure to secure them."
And what of the people who live and work in Pullman? Of course they have been there so short a time that they have as yet scarcely begun to take root and are not yet a homogeneous society. Doubtless it is true that to a great many the neat and commodious and beautiful appointments of the place are a painful restraint. They feel at first as strange and unfamiliar and uncomfortable as they would if suddenly transported to heaven. There are no saloons, for Pullman is a prohibition town, and many are lonesome and homesick for places where they can drink and rowdy after working hours. But it is cheering to learn that already the improving and educating influences of such surroundings are beginning to be apparent. The laborers at Pullman were gathered at hap hazard from the great city of Chicago and other places, and of course included all sorts and classes. Speaking of their advent there Mr. Pullman said: "At first when I saw the poorer and more improvident families moving their old, shabby and untidy household effects into those nice new flats, I felt rather sick at heart. But after six months as I had occasion to go through these flats I was greatly encouraged and delighted to see how they had improved in general appearance and mode of life. Evidently they were striving to make their homes correspond to their surroundings, and if able to do nothing more to beautify them, they at least kept them cleaner and planted flowers in their windows." The resident superintendent of the place told us how frequently he had observed that families who on first coming there seemed to have no regard for appearances whatever, would shortly show a great change in this particular. Where once the man would lounge around his doorstep in the evening, unkempt, unshaven, in his shirt sleeves and stocking feet, smoking his pipe, his untidy wife and children around him, might now be seen an entire change for the better, both in appearance and demeanor.
Referring to the fact that it seemed to be a well established principle that in order to the best development of virtue and patriotism laborers must own their homes; that they must get firmly planted in the soil before the best side of human nature could be developed, we learned that though at present the exigencies of providing so many domiciles for laborers require that they shall all be renters or tenants of the domiciles already prepared, yet adjoining the town site at present built up and occupied, are great tracts of land owned by the Pullman Land Association, which are laid out in lots and designed to be offered for sale to laborers on long time and easy payments. Plans are being matured by which houses can be built for those who purchase these lots and sold to them on the installment plan.
Here, indeed, seems to be the coming paradise of labor. If here are not all the conditions for a healthful and mutually beneficial relation between the great and powerful corporation that furnishes capital and employment, and those who seek and find employment, the best and most approved social theories are at fault. It is gratifying to know that the financial aspect is encouraging. Already a fair per cent is earned upon the capital invested, and considering the costly and gigantic proportions of the plant and the permanent and valuable character of the buildings for dwellings, a stability is evident which gives excellent promise of security for those who are investors. Canvassing this aspect of the enterprise Mr. Pullman said: "What I expect to prove by this enterprise is that these favorable and healthful conditions, comfortable homes and widening opportunities, can be secured for laborers at the same time that a reasonable per cent. and permanency of investment is secured for investors. Capital will not invest in sentiment nor for sentimental considerations for the laboring classes. But let it once be proved that enterprises of this kind are safe and profitable and we shall see great manufacturing corporations developing similar enterprises, and thus a new era will be introduced in the history of labor."

Please feel free to warn friends.
Wednesday night I ate dinner at "Round the Clock," a
restaurant located in the East Village on Third
Avenue and Sullivan. When I was done with my meal and
reached under my chair for my bag to get my wallet, I
discovered my entire bag was gone (which included all
my cash, blank checks, visa, and ATM cards). It
quickly became obvious how this was accomplished since
the table I ate at was against a metal fencing
making it very easy for anyone to reach between the
fence and grab my bag. Obviously, I was very
distraught. One would expect the waiter, or at least
the restaurant manager, to be sympathetic or at least
take an interest since one of his customers had just
been robbed. Our waiter didn't even bother to come
over, the manger I spoke to expressed disbelief,
reminded me that he wasn't responsible, and only
reluctantly took my number. Even after a women came
over and said that her bag and other people's
belongings had been stolen from this area the manager
insisted that nothing gets stolen from this restaurant!
I just wanted to send out this email to say that a restaurant that brushes off its customers, does not
deserve to have any of us as customers.

wikiHow to Know if Someone Blocked You on Apple Messages
Three Parts:Checking Message InformationCalling the BlockerCalling With a Masked NumberCommunity Q&A
While there is no one way to be sure that someone has blocked your number on Apple Messages, there are a few methods you can use to make a reasonable guess. Check for indications that someone has blocked you by looking at message information and testing calls.
Part 1
Checking Message Information
1Open the Messages app. Looking at message information is not as reliable of an indicator as using test calls. However, some information displayed underneath iMessages can be helpful in determining if someone has blocked you.
2Open the conversation with the suspected blocker. Check underneath the last message you sent.
3Check for a "read receipt" below the last message. Many users have read receipts turned on, so if you no longer see "Read at..." underneath your sent messages you might have been blocked, or the person may have turned off read receipts.
4Check for a "Delivered" receipt under the last message. If you used to see "Delivered" when messages were sent and no longer do, you might have been blocked.
- The "Delivered" receipt is known to show inconsistently, so this method may not always be reliable.[1]
Part 2
Calling the Blocker
1Call the person you think has blocked you. Using a test phone call is one of the more reliable indicators as to whether or not someone has blocked you.
2Listen to the way the call is received. If you hear exactly one ring and are then sent to voicemail, you may have been blocked.
- Just because your call goes straight to voicemail doesn't mean you have been blocked. Your contact's phone may be dead.
3Call again to see if your results differ. If you receive the same result after calling a couple times, it's a good indicator that the person you're trying to reach has blocked you or has a dead phone.
- Users are not notified if they are receiving a phone call from a blocked number.
Part 3
Calling With a Masked Number
1Dial "*67" before your contact's phone number. You can use a masked number to double check the status of another person's phone.
2Tap the green call button. Doing so will start a call without your contact information appearing to the recipient.
3Listen to the way the call is received. Many people avoid answering calls from blocked numbers, but if you hear the call going through like a normal call should, you may have been blocked.
- If the call goes directly to voicemail after one ring, your contact's phone may be dead.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- It's a good idea to stay mindful of a person's privacy, even if you think you have been blocked unjustly. Unwanted contact may be construed as harassment, so beware of attempting to get in touch with someone you suspect has blocked you.

A former top-level National Security Agency insider goes behind the headlines to explore America's next great battleground: digital security. An urgent wake-up call that identifies our foes; unveils their methods; and charts the dire consequences for government, business, and individuals. Shortly after 9/11, Joel Brenner entered the inner sanctum of American espionage, first as the inspector general of the National Security Agency, then as the head of counterintelligence for the director of national intelligence. He saw at close range the battleground on which our adversaries are now attacking us-cyberspace.
We are at the mercy of a new generation of spies who operate remotely from China, the Middle East, Russia, even France, among many other places. These operatives have already shown their ability to penetrate our power plants, steal our latest submarine technology, rob our banks, and invade the Pentagon's secret communications systems.
Incidents like the WikiLeaks posting of secret U.S. State Department cables hint at the urgency of this problem, but they hardly reveal its extent or its danger. Our government and corporations are a "glass house," all but transparent to our adversaries. Counterfeit computer chips have found their way into our fighter aircraft; the Chinese stole a new radar system that the navy spent billions to develop; our own soldiers used intentionally corrupted thumb drives to download classified intel from laptops in Iraq. And much more.
Dispatches from the corporate world are just as dire. In 2008, hackers lifted customer files from the Royal Bank of Scotland and used them to withdraw $9 million in half an hour from ATMs in the United States, Britain, and Canada. If that was a traditional heist, it would be counted as one of the largest in history. Worldwide, corporations lose on average $5 million worth of intellectual property apiece annually, and big companies lose many times that.

A Must Listen for Anyone in CyberSecurity
The author comes from a place of real world authority of this subject and his comments are highly creditable. The content is provided in a manner that is interesting, thought provoking, and free of dry jargon. He takes a very methodical approach to introducing the issues, the 'so what' part of the equation, and provides recommendations or commentary. The topics are current, relevant, and timely. If you are someone who is in the C-Level management, IT professional, or an actual Cyber Security professional, this is a mandatory listen.
I felt the performance was excellent. Mr. James reading made you feel like the two of you were having a conversation about the subject over a coffee. I would certainly seek other materials by the performer.

2014 Calgary Breakfast - Sally Armstrong
At the Calgary Breakfast, Sally Armstrong shared dramatic and empowering stories about women from across the globe—from Kabul to Cairo, from Mosul to Nairobi, and right here at home—who are changing the world as we know it. Thanks to their stunning courage, tenacity and wit, these game-changers are shifting the global status of women. Their strength will inspire you and their actions will affect your wallet, your security, and your peace of mind.
Sally is a winner of the Calgary Peace Prize, a human rights activist, and one of Canada's most respected journalists. She has been described as "the war correspondent for the world's women." For the last twenty-five years, Sally has been reporting on women in zones of conflict. Rarely has she had a good news story to tell, but over the last few years she has witnessed the beginning of a powerful new revolution. Women and girls from around the globe—and right here in Canada—are rising up and speaking out against violence. Their stories of courage in the face of oppression are inspirational. As Sally says, "The time for women is now."
Thank you to the generous companies and individuals who, through their purchase of a table, supported the Canadian Women's Foundation's work to prevent violence against women, end poverty and empower girls, as well as our latest initiative: a new 5-year strategy to end the sex trafficking of women and girls in Canada.

The 32-year-old - who has slipped from the top of the bowler's rankings in that format to third - admits it is not an enjoyable experience playing the 50-over game and wants it scrapped.
And he adds that the recent postponement of the world Test series - England are presently ranked No 1 in the world - by the ICC is a mistake.
"I think one-day cricket will have to give at some point, hopefully for everyone," said Swann, who has taken 90 wickets in 64 one-day internationals at an average of 25.43.
"I don't think that game should carry on for much longer.
"For me it's not as enjoyable to play in. I think Test cricket and Twenty20 are the way forward for cricket.
Swann, who had a miserable one-day series against world champions India in October, and was dropped for the final match, feels something has to give in the increasingly crowded international schedule.
"We do play too much cricket and if something had to give my choice would be 50-over cricket, or make it 40-over cricket or something," Swann told the BBC.
"But that's a purely personal choice. I don't think many people agree with me.
"I think I will finish (playing) before any changes take place so I will carry on playing whatever they put in front of me."
The ICC's decision to cave in to pressure from a television broadcaster - ESPN Star Sports - and postpone the inaugural World Test Championship - due to be staged in England in 2013 - in favour of the more lucrative 50-over Champions Trophy has been criticised by Swann.
"This is frustrating because being English we rate Test cricket above and beyond anything else, and certainly the Champions Trophy," said Swann.
"(Abandoning the Test Championship) is a bit disturbing and short-sighted in my view but I'm not the powers that be."
Swann is not the first to criticise the decline in importance by the authorities of Test cricket, with many slamming the decision to make the recent South Africa v Australia series a two-match head-to-head which ended up a thrilling spectacle and a 1-1 draw.

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.
Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
Even a dozen critical essays, representative of the postmodern wave that has largely displaced liberal humanism in English studies in the years in which they were written (1970-96), do not dethrone Satan as the flawed hero of Milton's masterwork. Contributors vivisect, yet manage to convey, the contemporary relevance of the seminal 17th century epic poem with interpretations from Marxist/ historicist, feminist, psychoanalytic, and poststructuralist approaches. The editor provides a concisely informative introduction to the English Revolution and modern contexts for deconstructing . Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)

Scottish actor fronting fundraising drive in late daughter's memory
Scottish actor Gordon Brown is launching a fundraising drive to help build a respite home in honour of his late daughter. Brown, who starred in Drive alongside Ryan Gosling and in Bronson with Tom Hardy, was left heartbroken after his daughter Eilidh died aged 15 from a rare form of cancer in 2010.
While she was alive, Brown and his wife took their child to a holiday home for cancer sufferers in Scotland, and it inspired him to set up similar project.
He has requested planning permission on a property in Stirling, and has already raised $325,000 (£215,000), but needs more donations to keep the centre running over the coming years.
The actor says, "The fundraising process is ongoing and even once the home is open it will take about £30,000 to keep it going. We would be delighted to hear from anyone who can help us get there."

I'd love to have been able to say, "Yes." But the answer is no. I was brought up and educated in the United Kingdom in the 1940s. The teacher ruled like a demi-god is most classes. It was assumed that we would sit, listen, remember and that was about all. The idea of being encouraged to ask questions and think critically weren't on the agenda. Indeed, I expect many of the teachers would have felt threatened by such an approach.
No, I must admit that my 'thinking' and 'learning' because I liked it, came from firstly joining a public library around eleven years of age, and staying in reading profusely for the remainder of my life up until this time.
