Well, I have >25K with them, currently getting the afore-metioned 1.10%
Perhaps I should be asking them to "incentivize" me not to leave?
Looking at us.hsbc.com just now, the best rate I can see is their online savings account at 1.10%. (Discover offers slightly better than that - 1.3% I think, or 1.5% if you're a "premium" customer.)
So I'm slightly skeptical that an HSBC manager can make an informal arrangement to give you the equivalent of 4% (per annum) on a checking account ? (Maybe you have a dumb manager. :-)
> but #3 is not good at all, If I put 25K new funds with citi, I can get at least $500 bucks of perks in return in HSBC or anywhere else.
Really? Over what time period?

The 18-year-old boy who burned himself to death, the agony of his mother ‒ and a savage reminder of the reality of life in Gaza
- Called mother to beg for forgiveness before pouring a bottle of petrol over himself and setting himself on fire
- Bystanders rushed to his aid with water and blankets but it wasn't enough
Al-Shati refugee camp is a miserable place: 90,000 Palestinians are packed into less than one-third of a square mile on the northern beach of Gaza City. The narrow, twisting alleys are littered with rubbish and adorned with graffiti and the laundry of the residents. Water and electricity supplies are intermittent at best.
Ihab Abu Nader was born into this crushing poverty on July 9, 1994, the second of six children. Ihab's ambition was to finish school, get a job and save up enough money to buy a motorcycle.
He loved Real Madrid and dreamed of joining the thousands of Palestinians who have escaped the stifling poverty of Gaza to work abroad in one of the nearby Arab states.
Mourning: Raeda Abu Nader with a picture of her son who set himself on fire due to the ongoing problems in his homeland of Palestine
But Ihab's dreams came to a brutal end last week when, after an anguished telephone plea begging his mother for forgiveness, he doused himself in petrol in the middle of a Gaza street and set himself on fire.
Bystanders extinguished the flames with water and blankets and rushed him across the road to the city's Shifa Hospital, but it was too late. Ihab died last Sunday morning after four days in a coma on life-support, succumbing to the crippling third-degree burns that covered 85 per cent of his body.
The Palestinians of Gaza are not strangers to death. On the day we visited Ihab's grief-stricken family, three Palestinian militants were killed by Israeli forces as they tried to attach a bomb to the border fence.
We could hear the rattle of small-arms fire as we passed through the grim, barbed-wire corridors of the heavily fortified Erez border crossing, the only pedestrian access between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The night before our arrival, three other Palestinians were killed by an Israeli air strike as they drove near the Al-Bureij refugee camp, apparently on their way to fire rockets at homes in southern Israel.
But even among the war-weary population of Gaza, the self-immolation of Ihab Abu Nader has triggered shockwaves of soul-searching.
Gazans wonder aloud whether Ihab's suicide by fire, the first here, would have the same effect as the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia in December 2010 that triggered the Arab Spring.
In the week that followed Ihab's death, two more Palestinians tried to set themselves on fire at anti-government demonstrations but were saved by passers-by.
'It's a huge tragedy which should really open the eyes of the rest of the world about the situation of Gaza under the blockade,' said Karl Schembri of Oxfam's Gaza office.
Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas-appointed prime
minister of Gaza's unofficial government and a resident of Al-Shati
camp, came to pay his respects to Ihab's father Sufian and mother Raeda
Abu Nader, during the family's three days of official mourning.
Haniyeh invited them to his home and promised them a small plot of land, a job for their oldest son, Mohammed, and a £1,200 grant.
A giant poster of Ihab is seen on the wall in the family's home in the overpopulated Al-Shati Palestinian refugee camp in central Gaza
Sufian told The Mail On Sunday: 'I don't believe my son wanted to kill himself. The people who tried to save him said he was screaming at them to put out the fire. I think it was a cry for help. I hope that other young people will take his suffering as a warning.'
He went on: 'I don't know what I will do without him. I feel as though I have lost my arms and my legs.
'Haniyeh is the only Palestinian official who has given us any support, but it's still not enough. I have £5,000 of debts. After I pay my rent and service the loans I have taken out, I have just £30 a month left for food and everything else. How will I manage?
'If I could, I would leave here tomorrow. I am ready to take my family and go to any other country that will take us as refugees. I see no future here. There is no work. I don't want to lose the rest of my children because of this terrible poverty.'
The main room of the Abu Nader home where his family received visitors last week has no windows or heating.

The only natural light creeps in through the wide gaps where the plastered cinder-block walls fail to meet the bare, corrugated iron roof, which leaks in the winter and bakes in the long hot summer.
One corner of the room is dominated by a water tank – empty because the pump that sucks up the water from the mains is broken.
There are only two bedrooms – one for Sufian, his wife and their nine-year-old twin boys Bassem and Bassam, and another which the family's daughter, 14-year-old Samah, is forced to share with her two older brothers. The tiny kitchen is also the bathroom. There is no door to the toilet, just a flimsy curtain.
Ihab was doing well at school but decided to leave in the summer of 2011 and forego his final year of studies, hoping to find a job and help support his family. But there were no jobs to be had. Unemployment in Gaza is 38 per cent. The area used to export furniture, clothing and other goods to Israel, but trade crashed with the outbreak of the intifada uprising in 2000.
After the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006 and a 2007 coup in which Hamas seized control, Israel and Egypt clamped an economic embargo on Gaza. An Israeli invasion in 2008 put more pressure on the depressed economy.
the blockade is easing and the economy is slowly expanding but the UN
reported last week that gross domestic product per capita in Gaza in
2011 was still ten per cent below its 2005 level. Half of all
Palestinians remain below the poverty line.
Three hundred trucks a day pour into Gaza from Israel carrying food, clothing, building and medical supplies and aid from foreign donors, but refugee families like the Abu Naders scrape by on minimum wages and handouts from the UN.

After he left school, Ihab eked out a few pennies by selling packets of crisps outside mosques every Friday, but he had no licence and was chased away by police. He ended up owing money to the wholesaler. During Ramadan, he secured a job earning £3.50 a day working 14 hours a day for two days a week making falafel, the fried chick-pea patties that are a Gaza fast-food staple.
'Once he had a job, he woke up happy every morning. He loved to work,' said his father.
But when Ramadan ended, so did the work. Realising he would never get a proper job, Ihab decided to go back to school, but the principal wouldn't allow him to return.
Ihab's mobile phone hinted at his despair. Its wallpaper portrayed a man holding his head in his hands with the title 'Father of suffering.' A caption read: 'I swear to God: We're sick, we're bored.'
On Tuesday, August 28, he left home, saying he was trying once again to find work. He didn't return by nightfall. His mother, who had given Ihab her phone so he could keep in touch, went to a neighbour to call and ask where he was.
'I'm not in all of Gaza. I'm not in this world. In a couple of hours you will hear my news,' he said ominously, using an Arabic phrase that refers to the report of someone's death.
Palestinian doctors at Shifa Hospital in Gaza have seen some terrible things
'Forgive me, mother,' he begged. 'I am sick of life. There is no work. Forgive me.'
Ihab was in a park with a neighbour, Mohammed Jaber. 'He was carrying a plastic bottle of petrol,' said Mohammed. 'I thought it must be for the generator. He distracted my attention and jumped in a taxi. I didn't know where he had gone.'
The family scoured Gaza City all night trying to find him. The following morning, his mother and a neighbour went to the hospital, fearing he had been in an accident. Police there said a young man had tried to set himself on fire.
Sufian said: 'I blame the Israeli occupation and the siege for our situation. I blame the divisions between the West Bank and Gaza.
'But I say to young Palestinians: don't do what Ihab did. It was a mistake. Keep looking, keep learning. Education is the only future.
'We need more support for social clubs, for unemployment programmes and job opportunities that will give our young people hope.'

"Yes, there are 'true believers' in both chambers who won't change their minds. But we don't have to get them all to change their minds or reach for common ground. We only need 5 in the Senate or 17 in the House. That is less than 10% of the Senate D's or less than 4% of the House R's."

Continuing our week of round-ups, Matt casts a glance in the other direction, rounding up "that was the year that was".
7. Joe Danger: Special Edition
A very late addition to this list, being as it was only released the week before Christmas, but after spending a couple of hours and over 408 attempts on a single the very least I owe it is a inclusion on this list.
Taking everything that made Trials infuriating – yet totally addictive – and adding a just little bit more charm, accessibility and general levels of actual fun and you have a beautifully simple – yet totally addictive – game.
6. Driver: San Francisco
The premise shouldn't have worked: "you're in a coma so you can switch between cars." See, it sounds ridiculous, but somehow they pulled it off. It allowed an open world game a new type of freedom by removing the annoying walking around bits, but also allowed the game to be played in a totally new way. Why win a race the normal way when you can simply jump into an oncoming bus and take out all the opposition?
5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
As full and as well rounded a world as we have seen in games, wandering the world just looking for stuff can be just as exciting as following the main quest line. As tradition states, as soon as I was able to wander freely I looked towards the first waypoint… and promptly did a one-eighty, quickly finding odd tree creatures, dragons, werewolves and caverns just begging to be explored.
4. Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures
What could very easily have ended up as an incredibly crass marketing ploy to make parents spend a couple of hundred quid on a single game, actually ended up being a very charming little dungeon crawler with some pretty darn impressive statues attached. With cross compatibility that lets you take your Xbox Skylanders to your 3DS, this is true a true multiplatform release.
3. Super Mario 3D Land
Sure the early levels may be all pretty simple, but they are still a joy to play. Slowly introducing you to the all the new elements, from racoon tails to sky diving, the ante is slowly upped so the last few levels and collecting all the hidden coins becomes quite tricky.
Then you have to do it all again… but harder. Wonderful stuff.
2. Saints Row: The Third
About as mental a game as I have played in a long time. How often do you get to drive a tiger round town while it's trying to slash your face off? Rob a bank disguised as yourself? Flee a crime scene on a gimp drawn chariot? And a million other things that I won't mention as you really just need to sample it all yourself.
1. Portal 2
The funniest, cleverest, puzzliest game of the year. A brilliant mix of brain melting yet surprisingly simple (when it all clicks) single player and a co-op in which you actually have to – get this – cooperate. Combined with a fantastic soundtrack and a story that gives the world both Wheatley and Cave Johnson.
And if that last reason alone isn't enough to give it game of the year, you all deserve the lemons that life has given you.
Honourable Mentions
Shadows of the Damned was just the right sort of crazy and showed the gaming world has a place for two floating British side kicks; Mario Kart 7 showed that sometimes iteration of a theme just works; Ilomilo was adorable and shows that kazoos should be used on every game soundtrack; Pilotwings shows that sometimes all you need is an island and a hang glider; Bastion shows that someone narrating your life makes everything better; Rage showed us that sometimes it's just nice to shoot things; Cars 2 showed us that kids games can be good games [if not a good film – Ed]; Stacking showed us how to do adventure games without all that pointing and clicking; Rayman Origins for showing off its beautiful self; Batman Arkham City for showing us that not everything should be open world; and WWE All Stars showed us there is still life in wrestling games after all.
Halo: Annivesary shows that while it may just be a fresh lick of paint, the care and attention given to it, made the torture of remembering how checkpoints and the flood used to work a joy. Although mixed with controller bending frustration, of course.
Kinect in general showed that while it can still be derided for not appealing to the core audience of Xbox 360 owners, the sensor is really finding an audience, and some pretty damn good family friendly games. Sesame Street, Disneyland Adventures, Fruit Ninja, Gunstringer and Kinect Sports Season 2 all prove that when the game is made for the device rather than shoving Kinect functionality into other games it can not just work, but work really well and be a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Pullblox showed us that the 3DS e-shop might be worth looking at from time to time. A neat little puzzler that has you trying to free little children after they have been trapped on top of sculptures in Pullblox Park. Each puzzle is essentially a bit of pixel art that has you pulling out blox of the same colour and trying to make a staircase to reach the top. As with most Nintendo properties however, it's more that the sum of its parts which a huge amount of charm being layered on top of the whole package.
Nintendo showed us how not to launch a console. I love my little 3DS, but my did it get off to a slow start. A meagre launch line up, saddled with a delay in the launch of its online meant I was close to giving up. Thankfully they stayed my hand with the one-two punch of Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D Land. But I warn them now: don't make me wait too long for Luigi's Mansion 2 or Animal Crossing or I will not be happy!
And finally, Duke Nukem showed us that something's aren't worth waiting for. No, no it wasn't… now go away!

One night out on the town to watch a Penn State game on a local bar's TV changed it all. That's the night Jenn and Cody's paths crossed, and they have been together ever since. The information-technology professionals, now based in northern Virginia, wed in a romantic and intimate late-autumn wedding.
When the couple started dating, they spent a long weekend on a wine-tasting jaunt near Charlottesville, Virginia. Veritas Vineyard and Winery was the first one they visited, and Jenn fell in love with the place. "The moment we walked into the winery, I knew that this was where I wanted to get married someday," Jenn says. "It had a magical feeling, and we loved their wines!"
Nearly five years later, on October 23, 2010, the two returned to the Afton, Virginia, venue for their wedding.
A 1946 Jaguar Mark IV transported the bride and her party from the hair salon to the vineyard, and provided a great backdrop for some of the couple's portraits.
Simply Bloom Photography took Jenn and Cody's pictures on the vineyard's grounds.
Cody wore a gray suit by Jos A. Bank, and Jenn donned a lace and ruffle Alvina Valenta gown from Jeannette's Bridal. She paired it with Badgley Mischka shoes, earrings given to her by her mother, and a bracelet from Rent the Runway
Cody's best man and groomsmen also wore gray Jos A. Bank suits with pink ties. Jenn's maid of honor and bridesmaids wore strapless Sue Wong dresses.
The ladies wore soft gray knitted wraps made by Etsy artisan Sweet Knitting
Pat's Floral Designs created Jenn's bouquet using cafe au lait dinner-plate dahlias, garden roses, parrot tulips, and dusty miller.
Two of the couple's three dogs served as "flower pups" and wore pink harnesses from Suburban Dog House. The third canine served as the ring bearer.
A chalkboard outlined the seating assignments. Guests were instructed to find their names and pull their corresponding bottles. The bottles contained "love letters" thanking them for being part of the special day and asking them to write letters of their own at the guestbook station.
Guests passed their well-wishes to the newlyweds, Mad Libs-style. The bride created fill-in-the-blank cards, printed them on heavy card stock, and used the Martha Stewart Crafts doily-lace edger punch to trim the edges.
The 50 guests went inside for the reception, where centerpieces of spray roses, dusty miller, gray brunia berries, white hydrangea, and peegee hydrangea anchored the tables. Wine bottles wrapped in screen-printed ivory burlap marked each one.
After dinner, the couple danced to "Lost in This Moment" by Big and Rich.
A cookie table -- a tradition at Pennsylvania weddings -- featured cookies baked by the couple's mothers, such as South Dakota cherry bing bars. Jenn's grandmother contributed her "slice of spice" sugar cookies, as did Chris Dunston of Cakes by Chris (in the bride's hometown).
A cream-cheese pound cake with lemon filling, made by Kathy Watkins of Favorite Cakes, was topped with figurines -- complete with their three dogs -- made by Etsy vendor mudcards

Popular wisdom holds that blue-chip companies can somehow grow continuously. According to the authors, however, the struggle of corporate icons like Kodak, Digital and Xerox demonstrate that natural limitations, managerial complexity, a lack of stakeholder harmony and antitrust concerns make continuous growth increasingly difficult. Rather than seeking growth at any cost, they suggest that companies seek alternative ways of moving beyond natural growth limits. The authors draw on a host of examples — from Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, IBM and others — suggesting that companies finding themselves confronting this scenario can either break up their company, create new corporate forms or make a graceful growth-to-value transition.
In evaluating their options, say the authors, the corporate executives must consider their company's position in its life cycle — growth, stall or post-stall. Stalls can be anticipated by assessing the natural limits of the company's dominant growth strategy and its pattern of financial performance. Executives must also realistically assess their company's capacity for both innovation and new-business creation in order to decide whether their capital and talent would be better spent on core business development than on the reckless pursuit of high growth.
Choosing alternate options is not easy, suggest the authors, given the pervasive culture of continuous growth. The first step toward making constructive decisions for a company's future, however, is to acknowledge that unbounded growth may indeed be a myth.
The Myth of Unbounded Growth

2. M.J. Mauboussin and K. Bartholdson, "The Pyramid of Numbers," The Consilient Observer (Credit Suisse First Boston Newsletter) 2, no. 17 (Sept. 23, 2003): 5. See also Christensen and Raynor, "The Innovator's Solution," 22, note 7, regarding methodology.
3. S. Kaplan and R. Foster, "Creative Destruction: Why Companies That Are Built To Last Underperform the Market — and How To Successfully Transform Them" (New York: Doubleday/Currency, 2001).
4. G. Hamel and L. Välikangas, "The Quest for Resilience," Harvard Business Review 81 (September 2003): 52–63. See also Kaplan and Foster, "Creative Destruction," 11, 14. Kaplan and Foster note that the turnover rate among Fortune 500 companies has accelerated —reaching nearly 10% in 1998 — implying that no more than one-third of today's major corporations will survive in an economically important way over the next 25 years. Further, according to unpublished research done by the Woodside Institute in 2003, the number of S&P 500 companies that have suffered a five-year earnings decline has more than doubled in the last 30 years, suggesting a severe lack of strategic resilience.
5. Corporate Strategy Board, "Stall Points: Barriers to Growth for the Large Corporate Enterprise" (Washington, D.C.: Corporate Executive Board, 1998).
6. The stall range had increased over time slightly faster than inflation (pp. 20–21).
7. This is also true for service companies of equivalent scale.
8. See Corporate Strategy Board, "Stall Points," 13. Wal-Mart, American International Group, Target, and United Parcel Service are still growing; 3M, Hewlett-Packard, PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble now appear to have stalled. In addition, this study by the Corporate Strategy Board cites six companies that stalled but then restarted growth to 1% over GDP. Of those, Chase, Coca-Cola, Fleming and Motorola appear to have stalled again. Only Johnson & Johnson and Merck are still growing. Thus only six out of 172 Fortune 50 (3.5%) are still growing relative to the economy.

Selling nothing but bite-size choux à la crème (which sounds far more elegant than its English translation of cream puff), Popelini provides Paris with an alternative way to eat cake, and features flavours ranging from traditional vanilla and cafe, to mouthgasmic salted caramel, to romantic rose and raspberry.
But before you start to think this all sounds a bit gimmicky, be aware that choux à la crème are a traditional part of French pastry making. Invented in Italy in 1540 by pastry chef Popelini (hence the name of the shop), these cream filled morsels make up the traditional French wedding cake and are also essentially the same as the good old eclair - just rounder, smaller and cuter. Here, however, cream puffs are brought up to date, lined up like little calorific jewels in the counter of the minimal boutique, all perfectly formed and topped with a colourful slick of icing, tempting you to indulge in the wide range of flavours. And it's not form over substance here either, as the little jems - made freshly on-site daily from high-quality ingredients, and with no artificial flavourings or additives - are top-notch and really rather delicious. And since they're only small, there's no reason to resist...

By Stephen Schramm Staff writer
Oddly enough, Methodist quarterback Max Reber may not have had the best seat to appreciate his banner day. Of the school-record five touchdown passes the junior threw, he said he saw maybe three of them thanks to LaGrange's fierce pass rush.
"As a quarterback, you learn to listen for the crowd," Reber said.
Saturday's home crowd - which was also a school record - made plenty of noise as the Monarchs edged visiting LaGrange 43-41 behind an explosive effort in the passing game.
Reber threw for a school-record 452 yards and rushed 72 more. In all, he was responsible for six touchdowns.
"It's about time that this offense exploded," Reber said. "We'd hit our mark and then we'd hit a lull. But this offense is very powerful, and we can do a lot of good things and it showed today."
But his five scoring passes - and their sheer variety - may have been the most impressive.
There was the 13-yarder to Vaughn Cross in the second quarter that had the senior diving over the goal line. Early in the second half, there was a screen pass that running back Darius Page broke for a 77-yard touchdown. Reber hit a diving Blake Cross for a third quarter touchdown and took a hard lick when he connected with Anthony Radke for a 42-yard touchdown pass a few minutes later.
And when he hit Cross again on a slant early in the fourth quarter, it gave the Monarchs (5-2 overall, 3-1 USA South) their final ammo in Saturday's shootout.
"We were clicking," Cross said. "It's about time our offense did something. All season we've been waiting for this day. We finally clicked together."
While they led 43-28 after Cross' second touchdown, the Monarchs still needed to endure some drama.
LaGrange's Andre Carter scooped up a Reber fumble and ran it back 61 yards for a touchdown with 5:19 left. With 1:49 left, LaGrange (3-4, 3-2) cut the lead to two when Marquis Young scored on a 19-yard pass. Needing a 2-point conversion to tie the game, LaGrange quarterback Graham Craig left his pass too high for receiver Ervens Oge.
After Methodist recovered the onside kick and got a first down, a series of kneel-downs ended things.
"Our guys, they keep fighting and keep executing and they don't lose their focus," Methodist coach C.J. Goss said. "That's a tribute to them. They do a good job with that."
LaGrange took a 7-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Craig to Marsalis Jackson in the first quarter, but Reber's first touchdown connection with Cross early in the second quarter evened things up at 7-7.
After Reber fumbled on Methodist's next possession, LaGrange had a short field and made the most of it, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Craig to Oge.
Methodist cut the lead to 14-10 on a 35-yard Cody Ausherman field goal and eventually went ahead when Reber capped a 91-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:38 left in the half.
The first half ended with a dose of Methodist momentum thanks to two sacks on the Panthers' final possession before the break. It continued as Page took a Reber screen pass 77-yards for a touchdown on the third play of the second half.
Reber then hit Scott for a 21-yard touchdown pass on the Monarchs' next possession, putting LaGrange in a 30-14 hole.
Craig connected with Jackson for a 56-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter and Brandon Penn scored from 5 yards out early in the fourth to cut the Monarchs' advantage to 30-28. But Reber's 42-yard touchdown strike to Radke and his 76-yard hook-up with Cross - who had 206 all-purpose yards - on back-to-back possessions restored the cushion.
"We have some big playmakers and that's what the game came down to," Goss said. "It was our playmakers versus their playmakers. I felt going into the game that we had more playmakers, and I thought we did a great job when it was time to do it. Our big playmakers made big plays once again."

Rabbi Asher Lopatin of Chicago is set to succeed Rabbi Avi Weiss next year at the helm of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah (YCT), the liberal Orthodox rabbinical school founded by Weiss.
Rabbi Avi Weiss left Yeshiva University (YU) in New York three years ago to found a new rabbinic school for one simple reason: "We were not graduating enough Yosefs," said Weiss, a political activist and progressive Orthodox Jewish leader.

A B1G Preview: Minnesota @ Michigan State
Minnesota (8-3)(4-3 B1G) at Michigan State (10-1)(7-0 B1G) (12:00 p.m. ET, on BTN)
Line: MSU -17 (Bovada)
Last Meeting: 2012: 23-20 Northwestern
3 Players to Watch:
1) Andrew Maxwell (QB, MSU):Andrew is not the starter and he might not even get a chance to see the field, but he certainly should. This is a kid who expected to be the starter but he just couldn't seem to gel with the offense. Many other players in the same position would pout or make a big deal about losing their starting job, Andrew, on the other hand, took it with class and has tried to help the team in any way possible. As a fan of Michigan State or college football in general, you have to respect the way he has handled it. I hope to see Andrew get some snaps on senior day and I hope the crowd will give him the ovation he deserves. He may not have lived up to the expectations he came onto campus with, but he has proven to be a true Spartan and I feel that he should be recognized.
2) Ra'shede Hageman (DT, Minn.):At 6 foot 6 inches and weighing 311 pounds, Hageman is a load. He may be the best defensive player in the entire B1G and could be the first B1G player taken in the next NFL draft. Hageman is a beast and will test the Spartan's offensive line all game. If Minnesota hopes to have any chance beating Michigan State, they will have to slow the Spartan run game and Ra'shede could be a huge factor in doing so. Regardless of how this game plays out, I would key on Hageman when the Spartans are on offense. He is a truly fun and talented player to watch on the field and one that probably hasn't gotten enough recognition over the years.

Bath man Paul Keene cleared of murder of fiancee
Posted: December 21, 2012
|A Bath man has been found not guilty of murdering his fiancee - and mother of their baby daughter - at the city centre flat they shared.
But Paul Keene has been convicted of manslaughter - a charge he admitted - over the death of his fiancee Carmen Miron Buchacra, known as Gaby.
Keene, 32, who worked for a financial services firm in the city, strangled the 28-year-old at their Bennett Street flat late on the night of Saturday, June 23.
He will be sentenced in the new year after probation and psychiatric reports.
During the trial the court heard how Keene, and Gaby, who was studying for a PhD at the University of Bath, had been having difficulties in their relationship, but despite this were planning to get married in her native Mexico this autumn.
On the day of Gaby's death they had a heated row about him staying out late with friends, and she told him not to come home.
Keene arrived home at 10.30pm, where a tearful Gaby phoned his friend Ben Jones to ask him to collect him because she did not want him in the house.
This was followed by another phone call where she left a harrowing eight-minute voicemail in which she could be heard screaming, sobbing and pleading with Keene to stop.
The recording, which was played to the jury, ends with the sounds of her being punched and choked and then silence.
Keene told the court he did not remember a lot of what had happened and had denied murder.
The jury took six hours and 52 minutes to reach its verdict.
Police were now having to break the news to Gaby's family on the other side of the Atlantic.
Keene's mother was in court for the verdict but did not want to comment.
Det Insp James Riccio of Bath police said: "Following the death of Gaby Miron, we conducted a thorough investigation and charged Paul Keene with her murder.
"Over the last few days, the jury has been presented with the evidence and, having considered it, returned a verdict of not guilty.
"We acknowledge the decision that the jury has reached."

Somerville Street shooting victim: 'I thought I was going to die'
He is accused of reaching through the driver-side window and shooting Otim, a mother of a 7-year-old. Otim had just finished a double shift in a Bedford nursing home.
The shooting took place around 11 p.m. Monday, about a block west of where they live.
Unable to locate his 19-year-old girlfriend, they searched the apartment Landry shares with his mother and peppered him with questions.
When arrested, Landry told police he suffers from PTSD after multiple military deployments, police said.
On the street, they found a .40 caliber shell casing. The gun, however, remains missing, police said.
Upon leaving the bar, she said, he started arguing with an elderly woman about kids breaking into cars, and then with a group of young men, whom he accused of breaking into cars.
Police said the shooting happened around 11 p.m. Monday on Somerville Street, near the fire station at Hall Street.
She said the bullet went through her leg just below the knee. Luckily, it did not hit bone.
"If he can break down, why would he have a gun on him?" Otim said. She's known war too, in the Sudan, she said.
Landry appeared in court Tuesday morning, where his bail was set at $50,000 cash or surety. He could enter no plea on the felony charges of first-degree assault, criminal threatening and reckless conduct.

Jimmie Rodgers
Jimmie Rodgers
His brass plaque in the Country Music Hall of Fame reads, "Jimmie Rodgers' name stands foremost in the country music field as the man who started it all." This is a fair assessment. The "Singing Brakeman" and the "Mississippi Blue Yodeler," whose six-year career was cut short by tuberculosis, became the first nationally known star of country music and the direct influence of many later performers, from Hank Snow, Ernest Tubb, and Hank Williams to Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard. Rodgers sang about rounders and gamblers, bounders and ramblers -- and he knew what he sang about. At age 14 he went to work as a railroad brakeman, and on the rails he stayed until a pulmonary hemorrhage sidetracked him to the medicine show circuit in 1925. The years with the trains harmed his health but helped his music. In an era when Rodgers' contemporaries were singing only mountain and mountain/folk music, he fused hillbilly country, gospel, jazz, blues, pop, cowboy, and folk; and many of his best songs were his compositions, including "TB Blues," "Waiting for a Train," "Travelin' Blues," "Train Whistle Blues," and his 13 blue yodels. Although Rodgers wasn't the first to yodel on records, his style was distinct from all the others. His yodel wasn't merely sugar-coating on the song, it was as important as the lyric, mournful and plaintive or happy and carefree, depending on a song's emotional content. His instrumental accompaniment consisted sometimes of his guitar only, while at other times a full jazz band (horns and all) backed him up. Country fans could have asked for no better hero/star -- someone who thought what they thought, felt what they felt, and sang about the common person honestly and beautifully. In his last recording session, Rodgers was so racked and ravaged by tuberculosis that a cot had to be set up in the studio, so he could rest before attempting that one song more. No wonder Rodgers is to this day loved by country music fans.

For the last two weeks, I have shared with you the latest trial facing my family. A little more than three weeks ago, my youngest son was in a horrific accident in his work truck. In one brief moment, our lives were dramatically changed.
Many people believe that being a Christian is a life that is dull and unfulfilling. Instead of looking to the Lord, they spend their time doing activities that the world says comprise the great life.
"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. You adulterous ...
"Will you not revive us again that your people may rejoice in you?" - Psalm 85:6
Many people have in their homes or offices the famous painting of Jesus knocking on the door. As with many paintings, most people don't look at the details, and if asked about them would be clueless.
For almost 31 years, I have preached and taught the truths of the Bible. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart…," "We walk by faith, not by sight…," and so on. I have emphasized that God can be trusted, no matter the circumstances, and have done so with conviction.
Jesus said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" (Matthew 6:33-34).
Plans for "UnityFest - A Community Praise Celebration" are coming together. The event committee is accepting entertainment proposals for the Sept. 14 festival, which will run from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Amphitheatre at Bryant Commons in downtown Hinesville.
I recently read that there are some in the Christian arena who do not believe that helping the poor and needy is a prime directive of Christianity.
In the book of Acts 2:22, it speaks of Jesus as "a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him." All through the gospels we see where miracle working was part of Jesus's every day activities.
It is the phone call that no parent wants to receive. "Mr. Butler, this is the hospital. Your son has been in a very bad accident. You need to come"
It seems that man today is always looking for someone to blame. Children blame one another when they get in trouble for something. Husbands and wives blame each other when problems arise. Countries blame each other for difficulties, and on and on it goes.
This year marks the third year the In Search of Excellence leadership conference has been held at St. Peter's African Methodist Episcopal Church and Worship Center in Midway.
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." - I Corinthians 15:55-58
The writer of Psalm 136 starts with these words: "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good." He then gives reason after reason why we should thank our God.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (NIV) - Proverbs 3:5
In Matthew 26, we are told that there was a woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus' head.
Today is bill-paying day.
Most, if not all, newspapers have an obituary section. I have heard older people joke that they read that section to make sure they are not dead yet. Others read it to see if they know anyone listed.
Our God is a God who always has been on the move.
I recently went to the Atlanta area for a couple of board meetings and stayed at one of the local motels. In the morning before my first meeting, I turned on the television and started listening to a minister, expecting to hear something from God's word to help me through the day.
Football season is in full swing, whether high school, college or the pros. Stadiums are filling up with excited fans all across this country as they prepare to cheer their teams to victory.
We must never forget that we were created to worship and love God. We are the creation he is the creator. We are to serve him. All the blessings that his word tells us about are there for us if we will follow him.
If we look around today, we truly can say that we're experiencing hard times.
In 2 Corinthians 12:7, the Apostle Paul said he was given a thorn in the flesh in order to keep him from exalting himself. In other words, Paul experienced some sort of pain that kept him from being conceited and to trust completely in the grace and strength from God.
When I was in college, and even when I moved to New Orleans to attend seminary, there were many things that brought me encouragement. But there was one thing in particular that brought me joy: I always could count on receiving a letter every week from my mom.
God's word tells how mankind can have a better life, but many fail to heed the divine advice.
It's time to invite someone to church.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
Throughout my ministry, I have heard a lot of complaints about the problems in our world and our nation in particular.

Sabotage & Dialogue Productions is a multimedia production company based in the Pacific Northwest. Our offices and base of operation are in the much maligned (but very film friendly) city of Tacoma, Washington.
Sabotage & Dialogue Productions offer full production services for your media project, from development to final screening. We are a team of professionals with a background in film, budgeting, scheduling, and project management. We've logged hundreds of days on set and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.
We have excellent crew and vendor relationships and are proud of our professional reputation in our local community.
We're plain spoken, strict on the budget, straight shooting, and hard working. We believe that art comes from the discipline of practicing your craft with precision and pride.
Filmmakers make films. We start out as Production Assistants on set, or writers, we hang around crafty, we go to mixers, we do runs, we slog through the mud, we go to festivals, we watch experimental films, we make stuff on micro budgets and run Kickstarter campaigns to get our friends and family to help us make our next short film. We provide production services for all kinds of people: writers, directors, students.
Maybe you are a small business and you'd love to add some zing to your site. Maybe your company is a non-profit or an arts organization and you'd love some web content. You may need a training video for your employees or volunteers. Or maybe you do want to make movies and you're ready to make your first short film. You have a nest egg, it's not much but it's something, and you think it's enough to make a start. It may even be more personal...you'd love to interview your grandmother so your children can someday watch their great-grandmother and hear her stories. Or you're taking a big life step. You've trained for the marathon and you want a little film about the journey that brought you to this point. There are all sorts of reasons to come to us. All of them are valid.
Sabotage & Dialogue was founded with the core believe that everyone has a story. As producers, we want to support you in telling the story you'd like to tell. We make indie films but our entire foundation comes from story telling and people who have stories to tell. We can support you at any point in your process.
The first thing we do is work with you to get your idea down on the page. We sit down with you, talk it through. Take notes. Look at samples of what you want the final product to look like. We work closely with you to hone your concept down to the specifics. This goes into a treatment, or a document that outlines the mood, characters, plot and overall vision of the piece. From the treatment we write a script, which serves as our blueprint for production.
From the script we can schedule and fine-tune our budget. The budget is based on a lot of factors: number of characters, location, length of final piece, special effects. From the script, our First Assistant Director will provide a professional breakdown. The breakdown outlines the number of shooting days you will need, and is a valuable document, as often you do not shoot in sequence. We can schedule according to your individual factors. Are you shooting at your working business so you will need it to all take place at night? We can budget that. Every cost is broken down in detail so you can expand or contract your budget as desired.
You can pay for our consulting services up to this point and you still do not need to employ us as your producers. You can then take your breakdown and script and use these tools to more accurately fundraise or pitch your project to obtain financing.
Depending on your needs and what your hopes for usage are we will discuss a range of possibilities for the technology we will use and what size of crew you will need to execute the script.
If you decide to use us as producers, we move into production. Working with our local crew and talent, we will walk you through the creative collaborative process. We will pair you with an experienced crew that will work from the breakdown and script. At every stage our Line Producer will keep you informed as to how each cost impacts your budget.
Then we shoot!
All footage will go to our editors. After they do an initial rough cut, you will be invited in to fine tune the cut and give final approvals. Depending on the type of project, soundtrack, credits and title design are decided upon. Your project is delivered to you in the format required. We thank you for your time and collaboration and part with a friendly handshake.
I started working in film and television while in college in New York City. Shortly after graduation I relocated to Los Angeles and eventually, resettled in the Pacific Northwest.
I founded Sabotage & Dialogue Productions in 2009 primarily as a consulting company for development. In 2013 I hung out my shingle as an indie producer.
I have a background in feature film development with a specialization in genre works such as horror, fantasy and speculative fiction. I also have extensive on set experience as a Producer and Assitant Director for feature film, commercials, television and New Media. A link to my IMDB is here.
A fancier, braggier bio could be written that would detail my prodigy childhood, my bohemian upbringing, oh! and the time I broke a world record. However none of that really pertains to what I do. It's just the sort of bio you're required to write to make people feel uncomfortable. I don't like making people feel uncomfortable.
and my love of collaboration has never faded. There are few things more satisfying as an artist and craftsperson than taking someone's character from the page into the world.
I am represented by Topo Swope Talent for television, film, New Media, and commercial work. My resume and headshot can be viewed here. I am a current member of SAG/AFTRA.

text: Tweet (By Avalyn Hunter) Korea--an international power in Thoroughbred racing and breeding? Well, it hasn't happened yet, but the country's young breeding program has taken its first step toward internationally competitive by producing its first U. S. winner. The historic event took place September 6, when Korean-bred Feel So Good triumphed by seven lengths in the third race at Calder. The race itself was only a maiden claiming event, but it was nonetheless a milestone and one that the Korean Racing Association hopes signals better things to come. Horse racing in Korea actually dates back to the early 1920s, but in recent years, Korean horsemen have been busily acquiring American stallions, among them grade I winners Vicar, Yankee Victor, Commendable, Volponi, The Groom Is Red, Menifee, Pico Central, Whywhywhy, Officer, Ecton Park, and Peace Rules. While none of these horses were setting the world alight as stallions prior to export, that's still a pretty fair amount of racing talent that has boarded the plane to Seoul. Koreans also have been active buyers of both racing prospects and broodmares, making significant inroads at venues in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. In their acquisitions, Korea is following in the footsteps of Japan and Turkey, where breeders used imported horses with talent and pedigree to upgrade their own stock. Japanese-bred horses have won grade/group I events in North America, Europe, Australia, Dubai, and Hong Kong, and it looks to be only a matter of time before Turkish-bred horses not only can take on European invaders in the annual racing festival at Istanbul, but will be able to take their form abroad. A son of the grade III-winning (and grade II King's Bishop Stakes-placed) Cure the Blues horse Ft. Stockton out of U.S. stakes-placed Courting Dreams, by Eastover Court (a Seattle Slew half brother to the good Maryland sire Two Punch), Feels So Good is now headed back to Korea, where he will be sold for further racing in his native land. He isn't likely to be mistaken for a great horse any time soon, but he has provided encouragement to an entire nation's horsemen, and that in itself is no small achievement. And if he encourages Koreans to continue buying American bloodstock, he will have benefited the American Thoroughbred industry as well--not a bad legacy for an "ordinary" maiden winner.

Pain touches us all -- usually as a warning sign of injury or disease. Pain normally subsides following medical care and recovery. But according to the National Institutes of Health, 40 million Americans are unable to find relief for their pain. It is chronic, without correctable cause, and unresponsive to conventional treatments. It is frequently associated with low back disease, headaches, fibromyalgia or disorders of the nervous system. Such longstanding pain disrupts lives, tears at families and jeopardizes careers. It causes productive people to withdraw into a downward spiral of anger, depression and despair. They become less mobile, losing strength and flexibility to the point that even minor activities may increase pain.
The Section of Pain Medicine evaluates and treats a variety of pain disorders and chronic pain issues. We have expertise in:
Following evaluation, there may be recommendations for treatment in the Section of Pain Medicine or for treatment at home or by other physicians at Cleveland Clinic. Treatment options may include: physical rehabilitation, medications, referrals for such interventions as nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation, and referrals for pain and stress management, including the use of biofeedback. An intensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation program is recommended for those with high levels of pain, suffering and functional impairment, and may vary in intensity from inpatient care to a few hours a day of outpatient care.
View Cleveland Clinic's Section of Pain Medicine treatment guide.
The American Pain Society has designated Cleveland Clinic's Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program as a 2012 Clinical Center of Excellence. This designation was awarded to only five pain programs across the county this year. The award recognizes Cleveland Clinic's program for its outstanding performance in collecting and reporting patient outcomes data as well as incorporating a substance abuse education track as part of the program.
Through this specialized service, the Section of Pain Medicine reaches out to individuals who are physically and emotionally impaired by their pain. This unique three-to, four-week program is intensive and interdisciplinary, with day-long clinics focused on physical rehabilitation, stress and pain control regimens, and medication management, including weaning from all opioids, benzodiazepines and other addictive substances regardless of any chemical dependency diagnosis. The comprehensive approach helps jump-start participants' long-term management of chronic pain.
Among the many services the Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program offers are:
After completing the program, individuals can also choose to continue with the Section of Pain Medicine's follow-up services.

We enjoyed this bright tasty salad this evening as part of our dinner meal. The combination of orange with the favas and walnuts is very nice, and was especially enhanced by the dressing with mustard and sesame oil.
Serving Size: 4
for the dressing:
If fava eans are not available, you could substitute lima beans or edamame.
So refreshing looking. I can't eat oranges do you think a sweet red ruby grapefruit would work?
I am loving oranges in my dishes these days and this looks like a great combination of flavours… yum!
Hi JoLynn, Thank you for your question, What a pity you c an' eat oranges. Can you eat mandarins, or tangerines? Yes, I would say that the ruby red grapefruit would work also, perhaps you might need to sweeten the dressing a bit to offset. But if you are used to grapefruit, then hey would also be fine
Hi Janet Thank you for your comment. Yes, this was a very tasty salad. We really enjoyed it and have planted more fava eans so we and enjoy the salad again and again. We also like to combine citrus with vegetables. We have a nice pumpkin orange soup on Vegalicious that is one of our favorites as well as other yummy recipes using oranges. Perhaps check them out with the search function asking for orange.
I have to admit to not really liking favas, but I think this salad would also work well with edamame (well, what doesn't work well with edamame).
Hi Maija,
Thank you for your comment.
Well, there are lots of different kinds of favas. These green ones are very tasty. And, some people are allergic to soy and thus edamame are not good for them. Each to his own. We have a hard time getting edamame here, but favas are easy to get a hold of…we also grow them fresh in our organic garden. So we're happy to enjoy them at their best. Either way, this recipe is very nice. I hope you enjoy it.

Took me all week to get the 24 videos to mosaic up, I ended up using a freebie bit of software called serif Panarama plus.
Also I took some shots with a powermate to experiment if i could mosaic a whole moon shot with that (I guess if I did it would be about 200 shots processed from about 20000 frames ish!) I don't think it's possible, the distortions are too great, here's a 3 pane version

« McGwire Open To Idea Of Playing Again | Main | Padres Meet With Hoffman »
Odds and Ends: Alvarez, Orioles, K-Rod, Bradley
A few more notes from the MLBiverse...
- Dejan Kovacevic is reporting the Pedro Alvarez case may not be settled until well after the season. While there is a hearing scheduled for Wednesday, some feel that the case is too complex for a single hearing.
- Peter Schmuck feels the O's will sign a "couple of Paul Byrd-type pitchers," rather than open the pocketbook for a front-of-the-rotation starter.
- It is just speculation, but Nick Cafardo feels the Tigers and Cardinals will be the front-runners for Francisco Rodriguez...Of course this was written prior to the news that Billy Wagner will be out for the '09 season.
- Manager Ron Washington said he wants Milton Bradley back with the Rangers in '09, adding that he is not worried about having too many outfielders.
- Peter Abraham says the trades made by the Yankees prior to the deadline have backfired, with only Xavier Nady proving to be a valuable pickup.
- The Phillies have designated RJ Swindle for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Swindle made three appearances for the Phillies earlier this season. In Triple A, Swindle had 51 strikeouts in 36.1 innings, with a 1.98 ERA in 27 appearances.
- Athletics Nation takes a look at the outfield logjam the A's have for '09. While a trade or two seems like the obvious solution, Athletics Nation is worried the pieces are currently undervalued.

why we say "don't bomb iran"THE BUSH Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. White House insiders say that George Bush and Dick Cheney, are planning, before they leave office in three year's, military intervention in the form of a massive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities unless Iran scraps its nuclear programme. The plans include an option of using nuclear weapons, such as bunker busters. These plans were made even before the war on Iraq. THERE ARE dozens of countries in the world with significant nuclear programs, 9 with nuclear weapons; 442 nuclear reactors throughout the world each produce materials with the potential to be used in nuclear weapons; and numerous other countries have uranium enrichment programs - including Australia, which hosts a research program on laser enrichment at the Lucas Heights reactor. So why target Iran? Like the recent wars on Iraq, it is all about oil and the coming resource wars. And to demonstrate US intent and capability to use nuclear weapons to deter adversary use of WMDs. AND hypocricy. How outrageous is it that the USA with half of the world's deployed nuclear weapons threatens to use tactical nuclear weapons against Iran, which has none. If there were genuine efforts fror disarmament and a reduction in the militarisation of the Middle East, the peace movement would be camapigning with all its energy for such an outcome. BUT THE refusal of the members of the security council to make any moves towards disarmament, their threats of pre-emptive bombing and their quiet development of new weapons systems guarantees the failure of both the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Nothing could make us less secure than the billions we are spending in the name of security. Eighty per cent of the world's arms trade exports flow into the Middle East and west Asia. Almost half of global conventional weapons deals are made by American companies. Unless we curtail the arms trade, we face another violent century. IN NOVEMBER 2001, the USA announced plans to resume nuclear testing for development of new short-range tactical nuclear weapons, in contravention Comprehensive [Nuclear] Test Ban Treaty. In December 2001, the US officially withdrew from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, and in July 2001 the USA undermined attempts to strengthen the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. The previous month it had rejected the Land Mine Treaty. And in May 2002 the Bush administration announced that it was "unsigning" the 1988 International Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty. THE ANSWER to the "iran issue" is not another war that will, like the war on Iraq, only deepen the problems in the region. The answer is to ban all nuclear weapons, starting in Washington, London and Moscow. • Go to index of relevant articles |

My problem comes with the very existance of this forum, how can it be expected that any good come from it? The site left it to a be a bashing ground, no moderator at all, and I've even heard reports of an 'XBox bashing thread' started by the site's admin. This is not respectable at all. I scroll down the list of topics and see little but absolute TRASH, I'd be sick to myself if my fellow XBox fans ever did something like this. And I expect no less from any fellow gamer. Like it was once said "What you guys have to realize is, all of this regurgitated marketing BS is serving little purpose other than to hold our medium back, and you really need to quit doing Sony and Nintendo's jobs for them, because in the end, you're only hurting yourselves." - Brandon Justice (my hero :D)
Oh yeah and MSXBox is so much more 'civalized' who are you kidding every 5th post there is something like "Xbox is so much better than GC/PS2" get a clue.
