Richest in more than money
Jets co-owner Thomson at fan's northern funeral
For those who knew he was coming, the appearance of the richest man in Canada at a funeral reception last week in a whistle stop of a northern Manitoba town was treated with the kind of respect the famously private Winnipeg Jets owner David Thomson had shown the mourning family.
It was kept as quiet as possible.
But no one -- especially not a man who oversees the Thomson Reuters news agency -- could expect the story of the touching tribute he paid to a 26-year-old Jets fan could be kept from the mainstream media for long.
There were too many witnesses at Thursday's funeral for Les Mulholland.
And too many unanswered questions about why the Toronto-centred Thomson would travel to a place near the geographic centre of the province and more than 600 kilometres north of Winnipeg to honour the young man even the Jets organization didn't know, except maybe as a part owner of a season ticket.
First flying to Thompson for the standing-room-only funeral where Les's boyhood hockey buddies carried his casket.
And then travelling down the road south an hour to sit with Les's parents in their home at Wabowden, population 700.
All for a young man Thomson had only known since he and his True North business partner Mark Chipman brought the Jets and the National Hockey League back to Winnipeg last year.
So why would the third Baron Thomson of Fleet -- someone from the Everest-like peak of the Canadian establishment -- care so deeply about a recently hired young Stony Mountain Institution guard who was a resident of the country's socio-economic base camp?
In hopes of finding the answer, I contacted the people -- besides Thomson himself -- who one would think might know.
Les's father and mother.
I reached Lyle and Darlene Mulholland on Sunday afternoon as they were driving from Thompson to their son's apartment in Winnipeg.
What made the trip, and the conversation, even more difficult was they had learned of Les's death even as they were grieving last year's unexpected and still-under-investigation hospital death of their 29-year-old daughter Maxine Mulholland.
Les and a pal had travelled to Germany for Oktoberfest in late September.
It was there, alone on a Saturday night in the streets of Munich, that Les reportedly strayed into the path of a tram.
At first, as we spoke over the phone Sunday, both parents wanted to talk about who their son was.
How he had always wanted to help people. At first, he wanted to be a Mountie. Then he went through a series of justice-related jobs before settling seven months ago for a position as a guard at Stony Mountain.
"To serve and protect is all he ever knew, all he ever did," his mother Darlene said.
They spoke of the innate kindness and sense of responsibility that prompted him to return to Manitoba from Alberta when his single-mother sister Maxine was struggling with her health -- both mentally and physically -- and he felt the family needed his help.
The parents continued to talk about Les's caring nature -- and how it was returned in the end by his boyhood hockey buddies holding a marathon hockey game to help the family with the $20,000 it cost to bring his body home.
"He was a wonderful young man," his father said.
"I was amazed at how many lives he touched."
There was no mention of David Thomson being at the funeral.
Until I brought it up.
And even then, it was clear that Lyle and Darlene Mulholland didn't want to talk about that.
They acknowledged Thomson was at the funeral, though, and that later he came to their home in Wabowden.
"He was a very, very kind and nice man who attended our house," Darlene said.
When I asked Lyle Mulholland what Thomson said, Lyle Mulholland said he didn't notice.
"There were too many tears in my eyes," he said. "I was blind. It was amazing how many lives he touched."
Including, apparently, David Thomson's.
But why Thomson?
"I don't really want to comment on anything," Lyle said. "I don't want to go into any detail. My son was very private about his friendships."
This much the parents also confirmed, but only after I offered the answer first:
The friendship started with their son writing to Thomson -- apparently through the Jets office -- to thank him for bringing the National Hockey League back to Winnipeg.
Thomson wrote back.
And from there, apparently a kind of pen pal relationship developed.
By that time, Les and about half a dozen pals had managed to purchase two season tickets, but when Thomson heard only two in the season-ticket syndicate could go to the first game, he invited Les to be his guest in his private box for that historic game.
Or so the story goes.
The parents say they don't know that, but they do know he was at the first game.
Later Les would take each of his parents to games, where, Darlene and Lyle said, they sat in the stands.
There is another part to the story I was told by a source who was at the funeral.
That when Thomson learned Les was heading for Europe and Oktoberfest, he offered to look after the cost of the flight.
The parents told me they know nothing about that.
And, when I attempted to reach Thomson on Sunday through the Jets, there was no reply, which wasn't surprising, of course.
Given Thomson's private nature and the Mulhollands respecting that, we may never know precisely why the Winnipeg Jets owner and the Winnipeg Jets fan bonded the way they did.
But I have a theory.
I suspect, in a sense, David Thomson may have seen something of the every fan in Les Mulholland -- maybe even something of himself -- that the team owner chose to embrace when the young man from a whistle stop in northern Manitoba made the effort to thank him personally for what he did for the city and the province.
It's probably not as simple as that; nothing ever is, least of all the well from which we draw relationships.
This much I do know.
David Thomson is more than simply the richest man in Canada.
He's one of the kindest and most thoughtful, too, judging by what he did in his own quiet way for Les Mulholland and his family.
And who would have thunk these days that anyone would be saying anything like that about an NHL owner.
Any owner.
But then David Thomson isn't just any NHL owner, is he?

Magazine advertising, including classified one, gives a possibility for advertisers to reach their target customer audience and to decrease the quantity of non targeted advertising. It may come out probable if the themes of the magazines, where those magazine classifieds are printed, are narrowed. With the help of the address distributions and regionaly located editions can assist in achieving the goal.
Advertising in magazines has a rich history behind it. Formerly, magazines covered a large readers' audience, which allowed advertisers to promote their products in the nationwide market. However, today, most magazines hold on to some strict themes and narrow significantly the mass character of their audience coverage. Nevertheless, on the other hand, it considerably increases the possibility of more targeted advertising for companies. This, to some extant, makes the advertising in magazines classified.
In addition, the number of more general editions, such as men's or women's magazine, include a large number of editions, specialized in various fields of activity, such as the real estate, cars, design, gardening, etc. These editions perfectly fit into the concept of magazine classifieds. A particular feature of the magazine classifieds, same as all the other kinds of the classified ads, is that most of their consumers are the people, who take a direct interest in purchasing advertised products or services. Thus, it is crucial for the magazine classifieds advertising to place those ads in the editions, where target consumers would most likely look for them. Such ad messages have to correspond with the main thematic catalogue of those editions and meet the advertisers' requirement as for the target customer audience coverage.
Furthermore, the advertising in magazines, even with the classified ads, permits advertisers to use all the benefits of color, contrast and format in full. Many specialized real estate or cars editions even offer advertisers to place their ads in the magazine classifieds in a full color or even with pictures of the advertised goods. Moreover, those ads may vary in size.
The advertising in magazines allows a clear detection of the segment of target customers' audience. Additionally, despite a narrow thematic list, most magazines have geographical and demographical factors. Some magazines do address distributions of their editions. For instance, they may suggest advertisers placing their ads only in a part of circulation, sent to a particular geographic location or area or to a group of people with a high level of income. It helps immensely to cut down the amount of non targeted advertising.
Even though, along with some obvious benefits of the advertising in magazines, such advertising has some flaws. It is expensive enough and requires a long term of the preliminary ads' submission. The magazine advertising, especially the classified one, involves repeated reprints, which makes it even more expensive. Many editions make a requirement for advertisers to submit their ads before the magazines' issue and that limits the advertisers' ability to react on the market changes.
However, in spite of all those things, the magazine advertising remains quite popular and, sometimes, even the only way of the advertising. Magazines, especially those, red by people with the high level of income, remain the only source of information, including the advertising one, thus, being the only way to reach them.

Las Vegas Tenacious D Show Shut Down After Stabbing
Comedy in Las Vegas was halted recently after a concert goer was stabbed after a fight broke out during a recent Tenacious D show at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas on July 28th.
It was reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that one eyewitness stated two men in the audience were involved in a fight where a pool of blood was left on the right side of the stage. The victim was stabbed in the leg and was taken to the hospital.
The venue cancelled the rest of that show along with a unrelated Steel Panther show that weekend.
The Tenacious D incident is the latest incident at a concert, following reports of a riot at the Swedish House Mafia show at Milton Keyes Bowl in England and Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, as well as a stabbing at a Cro Mags show in New York City's Webster Hall.

Hello, My fishing toon is Giz, I'm apart of Wessex, we operate out of Meduli, and I created a video of what I learned about fishing. I spend most of my time fishing in Mortal but I by no means claim to be an expert. If you have anything constructive to add, I'm open to suggestions, and I hope others that enjoy or want to learn fishing can take something from it. I've caught almost 1100 fish so far HTML: [Proof] and I want to learn everything there is about fishing. You can watch it here Thank you
Its a bit all over the place tbh, maybe set yourself a script and keep it simple. Also a newb wont have bait. It will be a good video if you restructure it slightly.
Just use mushrooms until you get herbeus, then use the herbeus. As for being all over the place I agree, however I don't like to do things reading from from a script. And I spent a lot of time editing, so I don't know if I want to do all that over again. Not to mention the upload to Youtube takes forever, but I see where you're coming from.
Nice video for beginners, but some things are wrong. First, the type of rod does not affect the likelihood of the catch, only your skills, hook and bait matter. Some fish cannot be caught near the shore, so you need the veelan for it, but that's all. Second, the number of bait you use does not count. In your video you use 600... if your hook gets stuck and you lose it, you only lose 1 and the other 599 go into your inventory, cause they are not used at all. So you just need to carry 1 unit to fish I thought about telling you more, but you'll post it here and spoil all the fun. True fishermen never reveal their secrets! Good luck out there
I use 100 bait, If I loose the bait I loose it ALL, And to me rods do affect the catch, Maybe its different for each player I don't but this is what im getting when im fishing..
I respectfully disagree. If I use a simple rod for a certain length of time compared to the veelan(like in my video), I'm catching more fish with the veelan. As for the not being near the shore, I never said otherwise, and it's not being near the shore per say but the depth, which isn't obtainable until you can cast far away from the shore, that you can get the other fish. In regards to the bait amount I said that you only have to use 1. I use more because I feel it gets me better quantities. But the losing only 1 bait with a stack on the hook is just plain wrong, it all goes by by if you lose that bait. And if you post it then people will see it's by you, I'm not here to steal anyones thunder, just to get more people interested in fishing. It's going to be harder for SV to add more fishing content if there's not alot of people showing support for it.
You're right Neptimus. The "excess" going back into your inventory is not the bait, is the hooks. If you put three hooks, when you use the hook the excess go back to the inventory. Sorry for the confussion. With regards to posting more about the places to catch fish, the hooks and the bait, this is a long discussion I had with friends ingame... information is costly in this game and it's always an advantage, so I'm reluctant of telling anything to anyone for free. Against that is, of course, the fact that fishing is "crap" in MO so far, as you get nothing of value from fish: 1. When you butcher it, the only thing you get is fish meat. Only exceptions is laake that gives you leptoid scales 2. The most interesting fish (cause they are poisonous) are ventriosus and water scorpion, and one of them is bugged. If you butcher WS you get water lizard meat instead of water scorpion meat. 3. Selling fish to vendors you just get "peanuts" in exchange for the significant amount of time it takes you to get fish. I'd bet fishing is the less profitable thing to do ingame. As you, I just fish for the fun of it, so here is a tip for you: if you just want to catch laake (the most profitable catch, in relation to time spent), use a 10 hook at high depth. You'll get laake 90% of the time. Anywhere, except the shreeva cave in Toxai. Good luck PS If you want to talk ingame, you can find me normally in Toxai. Khleo

Quite a lot! There are around 140 that have been published. Then there are at least six that have been written but never published because the publishers ran into problems (some of these might one day find a home with another publisher). | |
Almost of all my books are commissioned. That means that a publisher asks me to write a book and I decide whether I want to do it or not. If I dont, I try to think of someone else I know who could write it. Most people who write books for children know each other! Occasionally, I think of a book I want to write. Then I write a description of it and send this to a publisher or my agent. If a publisher likes the idea, I write the book. I very rarely write a book unless I already have a publisher who wants to publish it. |
Anything from a few hours to a few years depends on the book. | |
Anything from a few centimetres to a few kilometres. But a superstring is very short even though it sounds like it should be very long |

Not very much is understood about the Cheops Pyramid. This pyramid was robbed long before archeologists knew about it. Anything about King Cheops was taken when the tomb was robbed. King Cheops (also known as Kufu) was believed to have been the ruler of a very advanced group. He was probably very rich and well respected. Archeologists know this because his pyramid was so big.
King Cheops was buried alone in his big pyramid. His wives were probably buried in three smaller pyramids nearby. King Cheops' Pyramid was probably built between 2589-2566 BC. It supposedly took over 2,300,000 giant stone blocks to make the Cheops Pyramid. Each stone block weighed over 2.5 tons. Researchers think it must have taken over 100,000 slaves to build the Cheops Pyramid. The big stones were moved by sleds that they pulled up the pyramid to the right spot. The Queen's Chamber was never used. The floor of the chamber was never cleaned either. Egyptologists think that the Queen's Chamber was originally intended for the king. Then the builders changed the plan and moved to a new chamber. The most likely reason for changing the plan was that the coffin built for King Cheops was too big for the small halls that had been made. The most spectacular room in the Cheops Pyramid is the Grand Gallery. The top of the Gallery is held up by pillars (large cylinder type things). They say that it is very, very tough to get anything through the ceiling because it is so well sealed. The Grand Gallery is very big. It leads to the Queen's Chamber. The walls on the tomb in the King's Chamber are made of pink rock. Inside the tomb is a huge coffin made out of red granite rock. The coffin didn't have a lid on it. It was most likely that it was put inside the chamber when the pyramid was being built because it is too big to have been moved in afterwards.
On top of this tomb there are five more tombs which are needed to keep up the weight of the pyramid. The top tomb has a pointed roof made out of limestone. This is the most important of the upper tombs. In these tombs, there are only inscriptions on the walls. King Cheops was the first person to be mummified. Archeologists have learned a lot from the markings on the walls of the Cheops Pyramid. Even though it was robbed, we still know about King Cheops from the markings on the walls. So in a way, Cheops was really able to live forever. |

The Library
New York, NY 10009
- Daily 12pm-4am
Village Voice's Description
The Library is named as such in the same way that Bob Saget's most famous joke is called "The Aristocrats." After taking in its scholarly façade--sullied racks and racks of books--you spot, on a sign above the bar, an advertisement for "The Pube," which consists of a can of Busch and a shot of whiskey, all for $5. That's the drink of a true dive. Grunge and punk music blares in the background, and skull heads decorate the blackened room to match.

This is not the same color as stila's kitten but it's pretty close. I actually love kitten so it's no surprise that I really like this shade as well. R.S.V.P. has more pink in it where as kitten is just shimmery champagne. I would call R.S.V.P. a shimmery pink champagne. My pot is very creamy and easy to apply. I use my MAC 239 brush. I still have to use a primer unlike my mac paint pots but I love the color so much it doesn't really matter to me. I also own the cream shadow in Birthday Suit and it lasts longer then R.S.V.P. and performs closer to mac's paint pots for some reason. I like using R.S.V.P. all over my lid and then soba in the crease with mulch sometimes in the outer v. Great daytime look if you don't mind shimmer.
Again what I said about the other ones.. this shade is more of a shimmery colour, its my current fave out of my collection of this range.
This is the cream version of Urban Decay's Sin. Seriously swatch the two next to each other! If you're a fan of that shade as a highlight (as many people are) this will dry down to a more metallic finish that is a bit bolder than Sin. Cream formulas tend to have more of a 3D effect on the lids so the finish of the two won't be exactly the same but the shade undertone is very similar, just thought I'd point that out first as I've swatched the two side by side. I don't think this formula holds up as well on my lids as other cream shadows I own. Maybelline Color Tattoo is a cheaper alternative with better lasting power and Chanel Illusion D'ombre is a more expensive version that lasts better. What I do think Benefit has to its advantage is a shade selection that holds more wearable neutral shades that compliment other shadows well. Nothing really in the range for bold looks, but that isn't Benefit's strength anyway, which is fine. I just wish these were truly creaseless on me but the wear time doesn't wow me. Since it can't surpass some of the newer formulations out there, I can only give it a mediocre review. It's reasonably crease-resistant (4-6 hrs) but it isn't my perfect cream shadow unfortunately.

this cream eyeshadow is super pretty and sparkly! i do not apply it with a brush just because i find that it can apply unevenly and patchy that way, use a concealer or a synthetic brush to help. its just an average champange color. the only reason i would not rebuy this is just because i have way too many of this color already from various brands and such. its a nice everyday staple color tho!
Love this product!! :) I've had my eye on it for awhile now, and recently a friend bought it for me as a gift!!
It is a light pink shimmer shade that is pretty sheer upon application. But if you wait for the first layer to dry, then you can apply the second, and get a little more pay-off. I got this more for an everyday, fast look. I just throw this on, with eyeliner, and mascara and I'm done! A good shadow that does not crease, lasts all day, and brightens up the eye area just enough! This is great for those who find other lighter shimmer shades that are perhaps more creamy/white to not be as flattering on your skin tone.
Ive been wanting to try their cream shadows for a while now & finally got one, this one. When i first put it on with my finger it looked like a shimmery mess but after i worked with it for a second or two & it set it looked fine. I wore this w/out a base & it lasted all day. Id try another color if i find one that catches my eye.
Champagney-pink color. Applies smoothly and lasts a long time after it dries - all day for me as long as I use an eyeshadow primer underneath. I apply it with Benefit's eye brush that's designed for these shadows to get a thin, even layer of color.
I am neutral to warm toned and pale and a lot of pink toned eyeshadows do not work for me at all but this one does, maybe because it leans neutral.
This looks great with black or dark brown liner for a simple, work appropriate eye look.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have the mini-sized version of this, and it is so small! I can barely get a finger in the mouth of the pot. But that has nothing to do with the product, which is awesome. Benefit's cream shadows are my favorite - they really don't crease and look so pretty on. RSVP is a champagne-y color. It seems to show up pinkish on a lot of people, but not so much on me. It's a great simple wash of color that brightens up your eyes. I'll definitely get the full-size when I finish the mini.
Bought this in Debenhams sale a couple of months ago, a really good eyeshadow that adds a gorgeous shimmer to your eyes without looking overtly dolled up. Application is a bit tricky but if you use a brush and move it over in the pot then it should come out easier. Such a cute little pot too! I love how Benefit is so kitch and retro. A really lovely colour and the name is right, it doesn't crease. It cannot also be used as a base, I sometimes put sin over the top from UD to intensify the look. I think i got it for around £8 in the sale, and it was a good quality product worth that amount. It is in a really good quality glass container that is sturdy and looks expensive!
Like many others, I bought this in a small Benefit kit for $10. It was a great deal, and this product really grew on me!
I always just use this as a cream shadow, usually as just a wash of color or as a base. I think this color looks different on everyone, it really depends on your skin tone, because the product itself is pretty sheer. The color is rather shimmery, but I think it's gorgeous, especially if you pair it with a darker matte brown.
My favorite part of this product though is the fact that it really holds up. This really does not crease on me, and I don't even need primer underneath. Any shadows I use on top of it also stay!
I really love this product and would recommend it. Very versatile, you can use it for a natural look by itself, or add others and it can be quite dramatic :)

The tor was always crowded, i have to try very early next morning. Some people wrote names and some best wishes for olympia on the walls. It was sad to see it. The view and the energy was wonderful as always!
The tor was always crowded, i have to try very early next morning. Some people wrote names and some best wishes for olympia on the walls. It was sad to see it. The view and the energy was wonderful as always!
Climbing it is putting you into a meditative state, with time to walk and observe the town beneath you. It is pure joy to walk where the ancients walked and to wonder what they felt and thought as they climbed. A glorious place to hang out and meditate!
Lovely bracing walk, there is a steep walk & an easier walk, a Glastonbury have to for us Amazing views & enchanting building at the top with historical details All for free & looked after by the National Trust
I love this place, i love the effort it takes to climb to the top then the reward you get when you get there. the views are amazing, across to wales on clear days. Perfect for watching misty sunrises and firey sunsets. Can be quite windy at time so no matter the heat id advise a jumper or jacket. There... More
We've been to Glastonbury many times and always return to the Tor for its peacefulness and because its where my husband proposed! Breathtaking views as always.
Sat in the sun on the tor and watched the sunset over the Somerser levels-magical. Not to many people so easy to find somewhere to park your bum!
nice walk after your new years eve or even xmas dinner but leave time parking is in the town in glastonbury pay/display then a good steep walk along the streets to the lane leading its way to the bottom of the hill. a must for the curious . great view
Climb the Tor and you'll get a great view over the surrounding countryside as far as the Black Mountains in Wales. Read up on the history of the Tor in order to get the most out of it! It is said that the Holy Grail is buried beneath it!
That's what you (can) feel on top of the Tor. Male christianity. It's like the building is trying to stop something deeper from getting out... Didn't work. Fantastic views. Nice crows :-) Want to feel something else? Go a bit down ;-)
Although it's a bit of a climb, it's well worth it. Fantastic views! And there aren't any restrictions about food, so pack a lunch and make an afternoon of it!

DELRAY BEACH, Fla.
Big-serving Kevin Anderson of South Africa wins his second career ATP Tour title.
Wilfredo Lee/ Photo
Kevin Anderson, the No. 7 seed from South Africa by way of the University of Illinois, built on victories over Andy Roddick and John Isner to win the Delray Beach International title here with a solid 6-4, 7-6 (2) win over Australian qualifier Marinko Matosevic.
To say that Anderson's time at Illinois was a love affair seems something of an understatement. Cheering from courtside was Kelsey Anderson, his bride of three months, who works as an auditor in Chicago and played on the Illini golf team.
Kelsey was giving her man a backrub in the players' lounge before he went on court and, if that wasn't exactly the secret to his success, it did no harm for this 6-foot-8 giant who withstood a tough examination from the extroverted, hard-hitting Matosevic who had won 12 straight matches before falling one short of his first ATP title.
For Anderson, it was his second title success on the tour after he won on home soil in Johannesburg last year. On this week's evidence, he is a better player than his pre-tournament ranking of 36 suggested and will be moving up from now on.
So will Matosevic, who will rise about 50 ranking spots from a lowly No. 173 after this surprise success. "I couldn't get up for it today," Matosevic said, while beaming with his engaging smile. "I didn't get to sleep till 1 a.m. and woke up against at 5. I was getting calls from Australia 'til midnight and it was all a bit much for me, I guess. I'm not used to all this attention. I was trying everything on court to get myself pumped – energy gel, Gatorade, Pepsi, you name it. But he did what he had to do and was just too tough."
No matter how exhausted he felt, Matosevic kept on fighting and saved no less than eight break points against his serve in the second set before succumbing 7-2 in the tiebreaker. That was in sharp contrast to the first set when, amazingly for two big servers, the first five games of the match went against serve with Anderson coming out ahead 3-2.
"We were both a bit nervous, I guess," Anderson said. "But after a couple of double faults, I settled down and stayed mentally composed throughout. In the end, I knew I had to take it from him because he wasn't going to roll over."
Rest won't be on the Australian's immediate agenda. Matosevic has an early flight to Palm Springs on Monday morning because he will be playing in the qualifying for the ATP Masters Series event at Indian Wells the following day.
Ross Hutchins and Colin Fleming became the first British pair to win at Delray when they grabbed a thrilling victory in the doubles final 15-13 in the third-set super tiebreaker, beating Michal Mertinak and Andre Sa 2-6, 7-6 (5), 15-13. Hutchins and Fleming saved a match point and needed five of their own after trailing 3-6 in a fluctuating tiebreaker.

Retro-themed coffee shops probably are required by law and good sense to include a GC, but they can be a bit of an afterthought. At Fred 62 in Los Feliz, it's not. They absolutely knock this beauty out of the park. Far and away the most photogenic variation, with its windowpane potato chip toothpick garnish. The three slices of Cheddar are lusciously bonded to round, white bread. The pickle chunk served on the side is a classic garlic dill that does the sandwich proud, adding another layer of flavor. While we think of coleslaw as a natural companion, Fred 62 is the only restaurant on this list that specifically offers it as a side option. -Rachael Narins

The End of Do-It-Yourself Retirement Accounts
Tweet Share on Facebook July 17, 2009 Comment (1)401(k)s have long been thought of as do-it-yourself retirement accounts. Yet, employers have been playing a growing role in how much workers save and where they invest their 401(k) dollars. Many 401(k) plan sponsors now automatically enroll workers in 401(k)s unless they specifically out. A portion of each employee's paycheck is put into an investment of the company's choosing, typically a target-date or balanced fund. Plus, even if you have already picked funds you like, your company can shift your existing nest egg into a new default investment through a process called re-enrollment. Employees who don't want their nest egg moved into new investments must specifically elect not to have the change made. Here's a look at some of the ways employers are becoming increasingly involved in your retirement accounts.
Retirees Become More Conservative, Frugal
Tweet Share on Facebook July 16, 2009 Comment (4)Baby boomers still in the work force have some time left to boost their nest eggs. But people who retired before the recession began have less hope for recovering diminished retirement funds. Almost half of retirees (49 percent) are feeling less financially secure than when they first retired, according to a new survey. When these same 1,011 retirees ages 55 to 75 with $100,000 or more in household investable assets were interviewed in February 2008, 20 percent had less confidence in their financial prospects than they did when they first retired. Only one in four of these relatively affluent retirees are very confident they have saved enough for retirement, a 12 percentage point drop from last year.
Giving Financial Gifts to Grandchildren
Tweet Share on Facebook July 15, 2009 Comment (3)Most grandparents say they don't plan to leave their children and grandchildren an inheritance, but would prefer to give smaller monetary gifts throughout their lifetime. Some 78 percent of grandparents regularly give small sums of money to their grandchildren, while only 22 percent plan to leave heirs a significant legacy, a new survey found.
A Quarter of Americans Still Work After Age 65
Tweet Share on Facebook July 14, 2009 Comment (2)Retirement is a thing of the past for a quarter of Americans over age 65. Just over 25 percent of those between ages 65 and 74 were still working in 2008, according to the latest Census Bureau numbers. And amazingly 9 percent of Americans still go to work between ages 75 and 84. After age 85, the number still working trickles down to 3 percent or about 122,000 people who continue to hammer away at their keyboard or punch in with their time clock.
How Much Annual Income Do Retirees Have?
Tweet Share on Facebook July 13, 2009 Comment (15)Most retirees get income from several places. The biggest source of retirement money for most Americans is Social Security. The average Social Security recipient gets about $13,908 annually as of June 2009. But then there's pension income, if you're fortunate enough to get one, savings from retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, and increasingly some form of part-time work. Less common sources of retirement income include rent, royalties, insurance products, home equity, and even an inheritance. Not everyone can or is disciplined enough to save regularly or lucky enough to inherit a nest egg. So, there is a wide diversity in retirement income. Here's a look at the recently released Census Bureau numbers about how much money Americans age 65 and over earned annually in 2007.
How Safe is Your Social Security Number?
Tweet Share on Facebook July 10, 2009 Comment (8)A new study says that identity thieves may be able to use easily accessible information like your birthday and hometown listed in commercial databases, public voter registration lists, and even on social networking websites and blogs to predict your Social Security number. Two Carnegie Mellon University researchers found that an individual's date and place of birth were sometimes sufficient to guess his or her Social Security number.
Older Worker Unemployment is Increasing Fast
Tweet Share on Facebook July 9, 2009 Comment (1)The unemployment rate for people age 55 and over rose from 6.7 percent in May to 7 percent in June. That's still much lower than the 9.5 percent unemployment rate for the labor force as a whole. But unemployment among older workers grew faster in the past month than younger worker job loss. While unemployment among those under age 55 grew by just 1 percent between May and June, the number of age 55 and older unemployed grew by 4.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Racial Disparities in Retirement Savings
Tweet Share on Facebook July 8, 2009 Comment (1)African-American and Hispanic workers are less likely to participate in their employer's 401(k) and, when they do participate, save less for retirement than white and Asian employees, according to a new study released today. This results in a smaller nest egg for African-American and Hispanic retirement savers—even after controlling for age and income.
Suspending the 401(k) Match, Keeping a Pension
Tweet Share on Facebook July 7, 2009 Comment (5)When a company suspends its 401(k) match, it certainly hurts the retirement security of all employees. Approximately 4.4 million workers at 251 companies have lost company 401(k) contributions since the recession began. However, about half of the newly 401(k) matchless employees continue to receive another form of retirement benefits from their employer. Some 20 percent of the workers who no longer receive a 401(k) match continue to have access to a traditional pension plan and 30 percent are offered a cash-balance plan, according to a recent analysis by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Another 16 percent of the employees without a 401(k) match work at firms with a frozen pension plan, but workers cannot accrue additional benefits and/or new employees are not allowed to join the plan. About 8 percent of the workers have an employer with both an open and a frozen traditional pension plan.
Paying for Health Care in Retirement
Tweet Share on Facebook July 6, 2009 Comment (3)Baby boomers who have lost their health insurance often struggle to find affordable coverage until Medicare kicks in at age 65. But even qualifying for government health insurance won't completely quell your money worries. While Medicare is far more affordable that buying an individual health insurance policy, the program still has significant premiums and out of pocket costs for retirees.

27 Oct 2012
When I arrived in Australia there were two large meat packers who gave me a throw one was Andrew Lederer of Presto and the other David Throsby. Strangely they both sold out to Adelaide Steamship's Metro Meats for an arm and a leg at about the same time.
I recall in the sixties David was killing sheep at Inverell when it was being run by Jimmy Brown, before Smorgon's bought them out. Davis was sending all his heavy ewes, wethers and rams for the boys at Inverell so he could push his production of clean sheep at Goford.
David Throsby passed away this week and he was regarded as one of the pioneers of the export meat marketing that began in the 1960s "This was a new time requiring men of vision and David Throsby and his brother Joe were part of that era that helped to transform the industry into what it is today.
David Throsby started his business, Charles David Pty Ltd, in the 1950s, soon involving his younger brother, Joe operating out of meatworks at Maitland and Newcastle.
They purchased the domestic plant at Gosford in NSW in 1966, upgrading it to export standard a year later. Gosford was the Flagship of Charles David and there were always 2 or 3,000 sheep in the car park every night still on trucks as all the pens were full.
The Throsby business continued to expand, purchasing the Maitland works from FJ Walker in 1984 and the abatttoir at Wyong. With rationalisation now in full swing, the brothers purchased a further three closed meatworks on one day in 1985: Illawarra Meats at Yallah near Wollongong; the council-owned plant at Wagga; and the AW Anderson plant at Wallangarra on the Queensland border.
The Throsby's sold Charles David Pty Ltd as a business to Metro Meat in 1987, just six months before the stock market crashed that year, only to re-emerge in the early 1990s when they built a hot boning facility at Singleton, now run by David's son, Edward.
Long before I arrived in Australia I had heard of David Throsby and after Lord Vestey he was the biggest beef and lamb processor in Australia.
I lived in West Gosford for a number of years and had to pass the Throsby Gosford meat plant every day. I was not unusual to see 2/3000 sheep in the car park as the pens were always full despite them killing 3,500 sheep every day.
The family sold their 8 meat plants to Adelaide Steamships Metro Meats, however the new generation of Throsby's also enjoy a wonderful reputation in the industry and most of all with the farmers.
David Throsby was a true meat man and great judge of cattle and sheep. He name will be remembered for many years to come and we offer our condolences to his son Edward and his family.

Iran to Continue Uranium Enrichment - Nuclear Chief
Topic: Iran's nuclear program

MOSCOW, December 18 (RIA Novosti) - Iran will not cave in to external pressure and halt 20-percent uranium enrichment, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization said on Tuesday.
Western countries led by the United States suspect Iran of pursuing a secret nuclear weapons program, but Tehran insists it needs the enriched uranium for peaceful energy generation.
"The Islamic Republic will not stop 20-percent uranium enrichment at the demands of other countries," Fereydoun Abbasi Davani was quoted by Iranian news agencies as saying.
Abbasi's remarks follow media reports saying that the next round of negotiations between Iran and a group of international mediators could take place in January 2013.
The IAEA has said an agreement on Iran's nuclear program could be achieved in January.

Talk:Australian Minister 'leaks' draft of anti-terror bill
I can't find the homepage in question, does anyone have a link? --Tarka 09:20, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I've added references. A major Australian newspaper is now serving the document in question: [Sydney Morning Herald] and their [copy of the bill], so it is probably okay to upload it to Wikinews, in that the AU govt goes on the rampage they will have bigger targets than Wikinews.
- This is a huge story,imo, because the future of Australian democracy is at stake. Ramming through legislation quickly is how the US government came under the control of a strong-willed minority of control freaks. Neutralizer 11:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
I've added a point that Australia has no "freedom of speach". So making it illegal to critizise the govn't is pretty big. Wisty 08:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Shocking! Hitler's Germany in the 30's; Stalin's Russia in the 40's[edit]
See Wisty's comment above. Can you imagine not being able to openly criticize your government? Hitler's Germans could not, Stalin's Russians could not, Saddam's Iraqis could not, The chinese and north Korean people can not. Do you want to join them??????? I urge lovers of freedom in Australia to hit the streets right now; surround your parliament buildings and stay there until your political leaders withdraw this fascist legislation. This could be the last chance you have....if you don't care, think about your kids and your grandkids; growing up afraid to speak their mind or to protest a bad government...don't wait another second...do it now!

Blizzard begins to wallop northeastern U.S.
BOSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – A blizzard blew into the northeastern United States on Friday, cutting short the workweek for millions who feared being stranded as state officials ordered roads closed ahead of what forecasters said could be record-setting snowfall.
Authorities scrambled to prepare for the storm, which had already resulted in a massive traffic pile-up in southern Maine and prompted organizers of the nation's sledding championship in Maine to postpone a race scheduled for Saturday, fearing too much snow for the competition.
From New York to Maine, the storm began gently, dropping a light dusting of snow, but officials urged residents to stay home, rather than risk getting stuck in deep drifts when the storm kicks up later Friday afternoon.
Even in its early stages, the storm created some panic. Drivers lined up at gas stations to top off their tanks, grocery stores were swamped as shoppers stocked up on bread and milk, and travelers were forced to confront flight delays and cancellations.
With the worst of the storm yet to come, the governors of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut declared states of emergency and issued bans on driving by early Friday afternoon.
"The rate of snowfall and reduced visibility during the evening rush hour in particular will make safe travel nearly impossible," Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick told reporters.
The early edge of the storm led to a 19-vehicle pile-up in southern Maine, snarling traffic on a major interstate highway north of Portland. No major injuries were reported. A smaller accident briefly closed an interstate near Bolton, Vermont.
"It was close to whiteout conditions, it's sort of a precursor of what's coming later," said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine State Police.
Officials across the region closed schools and more than 3,000 flights were canceled. Several thousand customers lost power in New Jersey and points south, though officials warned the number was likely to rise as the snowfall got heavier and winds picked up.
Governors and mayors ordered nonessential government workers to stay home, urged private employers to do the same, told people to prepare for power outages and encouraged them to check on elderly or disabled neighbors.
The light snow falling across much of New England on Friday morning was a taste of the weather to come, said Jerry Paul, senior meteorologist with Weather Insight, a unit of Thomson Reuters.
