Spencer Hawes scored 21 points, grabbed nine rebounds and hit the go-ahead jumper late in the fourth quarter to help the 76ers rally to beat the Chicago Bulls, 79-74, Friday night in Philadelphia and take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series.
Hawes scored 10 clutch points in the fourth to give the eighth-seeded Sixers the surprising series lead. Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.
Already playing the rest of the series without reigning MVP Derrick Rose, the Bulls got another scare in the third quarter when Joakim Noah left with a sprained left ankle. Noah, who scored 12 points, returned in the fourth quarter and mostly hobbled around the court.
With Rose out, the Sixers believed they were in perfect position to knock off the top-seeded Bulls and build a series lead on their home court.
Good plan.
The Sixers scored only 11 points in the third quarter and trailed by double digits early in the fourth before taking off against the battered Bulls.
Hawes keyed the surge and buried two free throws to make it 71-70 with 3:28 left.
After getting crushed on the boards all game, the Sixers scooped up a loose ball rebound and hit the open court, only to have Andre Iguodala miss a long and unnecessary 3-point attempt. Iguodala, bothered by right Achilles' tendinitis, chucked the ball off the backboard to the dismay of a crowd that has seen him do that too many times to count.
Nursing a 1-point lead, Noah missed two free throws giving the Sixers new life.
Hawes hit a 20-footer for a 72-71 lead and Evan Turner made two free throws for a 3-point lead with 1:24 left.
John Lucas III of the Bulls buried a 3-pointer to make it a 1-point game and a send a shiver into a team that faded down the stretch after a 20-9 start.

Doughnut Talk
Your morning in Maine is not complete without a tasty treat from one of the state's iconic doughnut shops.
Photograph by Jeff Scher
It is widely rumored that the doughnut was invented in Maine. Back in 1847 a ship captain from Rockport named Hanson Gregory is said to have placed his fried cake on the spoke of a ship's wheel, thus creating the pivotal hole in the center of the modern doughnut. That's one version of the legend, and true or not, you can visit the plaque commemorating Gregory's "achievement" near Glen Cove in Rockport. Fittingly, the plaque just happens to be a short drive from Willow Bake Shoppe, one of Maine's few remaining old-time doughnut shops. Its survival is a testament to the power of authenticity. Keep driving south on Route 1 and within five minutes you'll pass a Tim Horton's and not one but two Dunkin' Donuts. Cheap? Convenient? Absolutely. But these national chains are no match for the local shops so revered by Mainers as oases of good fellowship. Consider doughnut shops the Down East version of a public house -— for the morning hours.
Here are five such shops not to miss. Stop in, enjoy a doughnut (or two), read the paper, have a cup of coffee, and talk to the owners and the other patrons. There's no better way to "eat local" while satisfying your sweet tooth.
Congdon's Doughnuts
1090 Post Rd., Wells
207-646-4219, www.congdons.com
6 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed Wednesdays
Congdon's Doughnuts is a beacon of fried goodness in York County. A favorite of beach-bound tourists in the summer (Congdon's does half of its sales in July and August), this bustling doughnut shop has been in the family one way or another since 1945. "Doughnuts are a fun food, a special occasional food," says owner Gary Leech. "And they'll feed the family cheap." He must be on to something because on a rainy summer weekend Congdon's can sell upwards of ten thousand in one day. The Congdon doughnut, which can be purchased in the drive-thru for on-the-run patrons, is not far removed from its cousin, fried dough: a deep-fried, intensely flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Get some milk to wash it down.
Don't miss: Raspberry Jelly.
Tony's Donut Shop
9 Bolton St., Portland
5 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily
"Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." That's the motto that hangs above this Portland landmark, and you should do as you're told. For more than forty years, the Fournier family has been making tasty doughnuts at their famous shop in the Portland neighborhood of Libbytown. This family takes their doughnuts so seriously that the founder, the father of current owner Rick Fournier, even has a doughnut quote and image inscribed on his gravestone. On average Tony's sells close to three hundred dozen (that's 3,600 if you're math challenged) hand-cut doughnuts a day. And while these doughnuts are top-notch, step inside and you get the sense that a lot of customers come for the chatter, too. "We're fluent in three languages here," says Fournier. "Football, baseball, and basketball."
Don't miss: Molasses (plain, sugared, glazed).
Frosty's Donut & Coffee Shop
54 Maine St., Brunswick
4 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Closed Saturdays and Sundays
To step into Frosty's is to step back in time. Pink Lady-like women with elaborate hair serve up these sugary delicacies within a shop covered with old-fashioned evangelical and cultural paraphernalia. The business, named after a nickname for Bob Frost, the owner, with his wife June, has been around since 1965, and at its current location marked by the colorful red and white storefront since 1970. The third and fourth generations of patrons buy more than one hundred dozen doughnuts cooked every day.
Don't miss: The Twist.
Willow Bake Shoppe
1084 Commercial St., Rockport
6 a.m. to 12 p.m., closed Sundays
The second oldest shop of this bunch, Willow Bake Shoppe has been serving the same beloved doughnuts since 1949. Originally located on Willow Street in Rockland, the shop relocated in 2006 to its Route 1 spot in Rockport — just look for the quaint yellow house beckoning you to indulge. The cozy dining room is a great place to start the day with locally roasted Rock City Coffee, and, of course, a basket of doughnuts (or doughnut balls). Plus you'll have a view of the steady stream of regulars, some of whom have been getting their doughnuts at Willow since they were schoolchildren in the fifties.
A doughnut a day might not keep the doctor away (the opposite might be true), but it'll keep the patrons coming to this midcoast morning haven.
Don't miss: Chocolate Sugared.
Mrs. Mike's Donuts
19 Davis St., Presque Isle
3:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Closed Saturdays and Sundays
This rather unassuming white building on Davis Street is the relatively new Presque Isle home of this relatively old doughnut shop formerly located in Woodland for more than thirty years. Don't worry: the new owner Bruce Berube still uses the same recipe for the handmade traditional doughnuts that are perfect for dunking in a fresh cup of coffee. If you find yourself up north early in the morning, this authentic Maine shop is the best place to refuel in the gastronomic sense since it opens its doors bright and early at 3:30 a.m.
Don't miss: Plain (with a cup of coffee for dunking).
Sweet Treats
Here's a baker's dozen of other delicious bakeries, restaurants, and general stores that also fry a great doughnut:
Babin's Grocery Outlet, St. Agatha
Baker's Way, Boothbay
Bolley's Famous Franks, Hallowell
Boynton-McKay, Camden
Country Bakery, Bridgewater
Duck Fat, Portland
Eggemoggin Country Store, Sargentville
Frank's Bake Shop, Bangor
Labadie's Bakery, Lewiston
The Donut Hole Cafe, Buxton
The Frog and Turtle, Westbrook
Thompson's Orchard, New Gloucester
Washburn Food Mart, Washburn

BaLLa (31-05-2012)
They're team changers no doubt. Could definitely see an MKG and John Wall combo (Kentucky Wildcats) working well!! And Beal is one of the best guards to come out of the draft in a few years! I'd go as far to say he'll be an All-Star within 3-4 years! So much talent this year.

FTC: Consumer Privacy Comments Concerning Forensic Analysts--P974806 Forensic Analysts
Mr. Robert Pitofsky, Chairman, Federal Trade
Commission Re:Support of Self Regulation Dear Mr. Chairman: In response to the Commission's request for additional comments following the hearings held June 10, 1997, I submit my comments. I am a regular user of public and non-public records (such as credit headers), and support the proposition of self regulation. I am a licensed private investigator, in Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, The data I regularly access and use in reporting to clients has a beneficial use and need in society. It is important that a free flow of information be available to support commerce and our judicial system. It also allows the public, who does not have the resources to manage all of the problems they are facing, to defend itself without looking to government for help. Further, regulation would create additional barriers to use that today save lives, prevent fraud and bring families together. I am required to keep the information confidential and maintain a high degree of accuracy in my reports due to law and the test of the courts and marketplace. To have the entity of our investigations able to browse around in our inquiries and data, or opt out of databases that are private and public would be death of our industry and freedom. The prevention of wrongdoing and protection from fraud are the real tests of the use of data. Our industry's self-regulation, of uses and distribution, can manage privacy protection. Our industry has stated a willingness and desire to self regulate. This industry must have the opportunity to self regulate and welcomes the government's help in enforcing the rule, through our efforts and the industry's associations. I ask that you support self regulation and work with the industry to successfully bring about policies and procedures that we can all live with in a free society. Respectfully submitted Ross H.

An Internet radio host in Charlotte, North Carolina claims that JUSTIN BIEBER was rude and insulted her when she tried to work out at a local gym.
--Colette Harrington wrote an angry post on her website Tuesday, saying Justin was working out with a trainer and one of his backup dancers, when she approached and introduced herself as a radio host.
--Justin replied, quote, "Good for you." Then she asked if he would take a picture with her, and he said no. Colette says she was cool with that, and just went ahead with her workout.
--Colette says she counts her reps out loud . . . and Justin and one of the other guys started mocking her by counting out loud with her, and then shouting "Shut the [eff] up" every time she hit 20.
--She said, quote, "I [was] ready to punch one of them in the face or cry. I could not decide which since I felt like I was back in grade school and being made fun of."
--She also said the two guys were talking about spitting in people's drinks, and at one point, Justin guzzled a bottle of Gatorade and then spit in it.
--Colette says she left the room for a while, then came back in when they left. And to add insult to injury, she accidentally took a drink out of the bottle Justin had spit in.
--In her Facebook post she threatened to sell the bottle on eBay . . . but she later claimed she wasn't serious about that. (--You can read her post here.)
--Justin's rep admits that Justin and his trainer were at the gym . . . and that they were making snide comments. But he says they were ripping on EACH OTHER, and NOT on Colette.

Sewanhaka Central High School District voters rejected a $99.5 million bond on Wednesday, Dec. 4 that would have funded extensive repairs and upgrades to the district's five high schools. District residents voted against the plan, 2,705-2,412.
Forty percent of the bond would have been covered by state aid. The bond would have cost every taxpayer $144.26 annually.
"There's not a whole lot you can say at this point," said Joan Romagnoli, the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park representative on the Sewanhaka school board. "I'm disappointed. The administration worked tirelessly. Their outreach in the community was solid."

The Decameron (Il Decameron) [Blu-Ray]
Director : Pier Paolo Pasolini
Screenplay : Pier Paolo Pasolini (based on Il Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1971
Stars : Franco Citti (Ciappelletto), Ninetto Davoli (Andreuccio of Perugia), Jovan Jovanovic (Rustico), Vincenzo Amato (Masetto of Lamporecchio), Angela Luce (Peronella), Giuseppe Zigaina (Monk), Pier Paolo Pasolini (Giotto's pupil), Silvana Mangano (Madonna), Vincenzo Ferrigno (Giannello), Guido Alberti (Musciatto, the wealthy merchant), Vittorio Vittori (Don Gianni), Gianni Rizzo (Father Superior), Patrizia de Clara (Nun), Mirella Catanesi (Donna Gemmatta), Monique van Voren (Queen of Skulls), Giovanni Davoli (Pietro), Elisabetta Vito Genovese (Caterina)
The Decameron (Il Decameron), the first of the three films that would come to be known as Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life," is based on nine stories from the canonical 14th-century work of the same name by Giovanni Boccaccio. Pasolini discarded the frame story of seven young women and three young men spinning the tales after having fled the plague and moved the action from Florence to Naples, but he truly makes the material his own by imbuing it with his fervent beliefs in the "innocence" of bodies uncorrupted by modernity, the evils of the bourgeoisie and other wealthy classes, and personal freedom through sexual liberation. Unlike any of Pasolini's previous works, The Decameron is a bawdy, raucous film that revels in the flesh—both literally in terms of the numerous stories involving unbridled sexuality and metaphorically in terms of the film's appeal to vulgar comedy.
The film is ultimately as scattershot in its effectiveness as it is scattershot in its organization; at times it achieves nearly sublime heights (or, more accurately, lows) of grubby humor and vitality, but at other times it feels strained and slapdash, with Boccaccio's ribaldry coming off like soft-core porn clichés. Several of the stories are little more than set-ups for a sex-related gag, particularly the one in which a woman convinces her cuckolded husband to hide inside a giant jar so she can continue the sexual tryst that her husband's unexpected arrival interrupted. Similarly, a story about a young man who pretends to be deaf and mute in order to get work in a convent exists solely to "reveal" that all nuns are really sexually starved nymphomaniacs who literally wear the poor guy out with their demands for constant lovemaking.
The story of sexually curious nuns is only one of many jabs Pasolini takes at the Catholic Church, which he presents as being full of either simpletons or hypocrites. In one of two stories Pasolini intercuts throughout the film, an unabashedly sinful reprobate named Ciappelleto convinces a gullible priest on his deathbed that he has been so beatific and virtuous in life that he is buried as a saint. Gullibility is replaced by lechery in a later story in which a priest uses a story that he can turn his mare into a woman and then back again to have sex with his peasant friend's wife. The juvenile nature of the film's swipes at Catholic authority figures fits with its overall tenor of the carnivalesque, but it feels somehow beneath Pasolini, whose complicated relationship to Christianity (he was an avowed Marxist but also revered his staunchly Catholic mother and even made a reverent film about Christ, 1964's The Gospel According to St. Matthew, for her) will probably never be fully untangled.
Much better are the stories that that involves characters who are more than simply caricatures and stereotypes and use sex as something other than a punchline. In one story, a pair of young lovers sleep together on the terrace of her parents' house, and when they are discovered, her peasant father is ecstatic rather than angry because the young man comes from a wealthy family into which his daughter can now marry. The contrast between the young couple's genuine affection for each other and the father's immediate desire to cash in on their romance is a stark reminder of Pasolini's disgust with how everything—people included—can become commodified, an idea he would take to its disgusting literal ends in Saló, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975). The best story, however, is the one that has nothing to do with sex, and involves a young man who is robbed by a woman who pretends to be his long-lost sister and then joins a pair of thieves who are sneaking into a bishop's tomb to steal his ring. In this story, Pasolini achieves a perfect balance of off-kilter humor and sly humanity; it's the one story that feels completely loose and funny and clever.
Of course, the stories themselves in The Decameron are only one part of its texture, as much of the film's impact derives from Pasolini's insistence on a raw visual realism that favors actual medieval locations, naturalistic camerawork (often handheld and with a decided lack of stylization, although he does draw obvious inspiration from the medieval paintings of Bosch and Brughel), and mostly amateur actors who seem to have been cast for their wrinkled visages and poor dental hygiene. The film is frequently beautiful in its coarseness, which paradoxically coexists with a clearly poetic sensibility forged in the age of neorealism. Yet, some of the film's rougher edges, particularly its downright shoddy postproduction dubbing, sometimes distract from the overall effect, creating a sense of distance that does not feel intentional, despite Pasolini's inserting himself in the film as nothing less than a master artist (ironic nod to self-reflexivity or ego-gratifying self-casting?)
For Pasolini, the human body free of repressive institutions (namely the Church and capitalism) is the ultimate "innocence," an ideal that is embodied in his various characters and how they engage their imperfectly perfect bodies in acts of lovemaking. (Unfortunately, Pasolini's censors-be-damned daring unwittingly unleashed a hoard of soft-core imitators whose sleazy medieval sex farces jettisoned Pasolini's political ambitions in favor of simplified titillation.) While many of his films from the 1960s were pessimistic and dour in their outlook, The Decameron is a decidedly joyous celebration of a premodern carnality that Pasolini sees as natural and humane—where we ought to be and what modern society keeps us from attaining. However, the very fact that he had to return to the medieval period in order to find it shrouds the film (and the rest of the "Trilogy of Life") in an unmistakable nostalgia for something that was lost and will probably never be regained.

The three films in Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life" have not always been easy to find on video, despite having been released on videotape, laserdisc, and DVD over the years. However, none of those previous editions hold a candle to Criterion's, which offers all-new high-definition transfers of the films that help bring out their fanciful interplay of neorealist rawness and self-conscious artiness. Each of the films has been given a new 2K transfer from a 35mm interpositive and then digitally restored. There is still some roughness and slight damage apparent in the films even after being digitally restored, including a series of scarlet vertical hairlines in several places in The Canterbury Tales. Nevertheless, the artifacts are minimal and never distracting. Colors are excellent on all three transfers, which especially benefits the Asian and African locations in Arabian Nights and the intensely colorful costumes in The Canterbury Tales. With all the skin on display throughout the film, it is worth noting that flesh tones look natural throughout, and each transfer maintains a strong presence of grain that is essential the film's earthy textures. Criterion has clearly done their best with the soundtracks, offering them all in clean, 24-bit, digitally restored transfers. However, no amount of digital work can improve the awful nature of the postproduction dubbing and tinny sound effects in all three films (The Canterbury Tales offers both awful Italian and English language soundtracks, the latter being preferable since that is the language most of the actors are speaking). | |
Criterion's "The Trilogy of Life" box set is buoyed by a robust set of extras that help to historically and aesthetically contexualize the three films in terms of Pasolini's overall career as a filmmaker. While none of the three films boasts an audio commentary, The Decameron and Arabian Nights both feature edifying 25-minute visual essays by Patrick Rumble and Tony Rayns, respectively. The set also includes several recent documentaries about Pasolini and his films. These include The Lost Body of Alibech (2005), a documentary by Roberto Chiesi about a lost sequence from The Decameron; Via Pasolini (2005), a documentary composed of archival footage of Pasolini discussing his life story and his views on language, film, and modern society; Pasolini and the Secret Humiliation of Chaucer (2006), a documentary about Pasolini's adaptation of The Canterbury Tales (there is also significant focus on several deleted sequences that are now lost); and Pasolini and the Form of the City (1974), an older documentary by Pasolini and Paolo Brunatto about the Italian cities Orte and Sabaudia. The Arabian Nights disc contains 20 minutes of deleted scenes that were included in the original 155-minute cut that won a Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The set also includes new interviews with film scholar Sam Rohdie, author of The Passion of Pier Paolo Pasolini; production designer Dante Ferretti, who worked on all three films; and composer Ennio Morricone, who worked on The Canterbury Tales and Arabian Nights. Pasolini, who was murdered in 1975, appears in a brief introduction to Arabian Nights that is culled from film and video footage from a press conference following that film's premiere at Cannes. All three films also feature several trailers for their respective U.S. releases. The thick insert booklet includes new essays on the three films by critic Colin MacCabe; Pasolini's 1975 statement "Trilogy of Life Rejected"; excerpts from Pasolini's Berlin Film Festival press conference for The Canterbury Tales; and a report from the set of Arabian Nights by critic Gideon Bachmann. |

When Houston native Dr. Monique Y. Wells began leading tours in Paris more than 10 years ago, most of her guests were university study-abroad groups. She still gets them, but Entrée to Black Paris now has expanded to offer 12 different African-American history walks, including "Black History in and Around the Luxembourg Garden" and "Montparnasse -- The Artists' World."
Wells' company specializes in private, guided tours, and her most popular is "Black Paris After World War II," which Wells says offers "a lot of talk about the entire African-American diaspora experience."
"It's important for African-Americans to see there are other race struggles going on in the world," says Wells, whose e-book "Black Paris Profiles," shares the stories of 24 black American and Afro-Caribbean folks who reinvented their lives here.
"And for people who are not black and taking the tours -- if they are Americans -- to see just how much the African-American presence has brought to Paris. The Paris they know would not be the same, and it's important for them to understand that."
Wells mentions jazz, first introduced to France by black Americans. Not only has this music led to a French-grown jazz culture, but "so much art from the 20th century has been influenced by jazz."
Culinary contributions also figure into Entrée's year-round tours. "When I moved here, you could not find sweet potatoes on mainstream menus," says Wells, a co-author of "Food for the Soul: A Texas Expatriate Nurtures Her Culinary Roots in Paris."
Now, she says, this African-American Southern food staple is everywhere -- and served thinly sliced and fried as a bite-sized hors d'oeuvre or soup garnish.
Passionate about helping tourists explore French culture through food, Wells this month will start joining Jacksonville, Florida-based Chef Amadeus for "The Southern Passion Lounge in Paris," an Internet radio show. Broadcast the third Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. ET, they'll transport listeners to Parisian eateries through food, wine and music -- and also will spotlight French restaurants and chefs in the States.
The newest Entrée to Black Paris offering takes guests to the western Parisian suburbs for the "Josephine Baker Tour in Le Vésinet." They'll see Le Beau Chêne, the mansion Baker owned and called home for 18 years, have lunch at a nearby American-owned bed and breakfast and learn about Baker's life over dessert.
Wells and husband Tom Reeves also operate Discover Paris!, a service offering everything from gourmet food tours to self-guided downloadable walks to presentations on "Black Paris and the Myth of a Colorblind France."
Entrée to Black Paris' prices range from $25-$30 for self-guided walking tours to $325 for private, guided walking tours for between one and 15 people (no per-person charge). Activities such as museum art walks and the "Josephine Baker Tour in Le Vésinet" are group-only; contact email@example.com for prices.

The Company has been through several major corporate actions over the past few years. Below is a time line of these events, intended to give you an overview of the changes made to the structure of the Company and the way in which it makes payments to its shareholders.
New share certificates in Rolls-Royce Holdings plc were issued on 31 May to be received on or after 1 June. Shareholders received one ordinary share in Rolls-Royce Holdings plc for each ordinary share held in Rolls-Royce Group plc. All existing payment instructions in respect of C Shares were carried forward to the Rolls-Royce Holdings plc share register.
At the Company's AGM, and subsequent EGM, shareholders approved the Scheme of Arrangement. Rolls-Royce Holdings plc was admitted to the official list on 23 May.
Before the Scheme of Arrangement was approved by to shareholders, it was necessary for the Company to compulsorily redeem all outstanding redeemable C Shares of 0.1p in the capital of Rolls-Royce Group plc. Shareholders were sent their C Share redemption proceeds and a pro-rated C Share dividend.
The Company announced its intention to introduce a new top holding company by way of a scheme of arrangement to be known as Rolls-Royce Holdings plc. The Company announced its intention to put in place a new holding company for the Group, to be known as Rolls-Royce Holdings plc. This created sufficient distributable and merger reserves for the Company to continue making payment to shareholders in the form of C Shares. Continuing to make payment to shareholders in this way will to continue to help in the recovery of the Group's £182 million of historic advance corporation tax.
All existing Payment Instructions, made in respect of B Shares, were carried forward and applied to C Shares. Shareholders, who'd previously received cash by choosing to redeem B Shares, now received cash from the redemption of C Shares. Shareholders, who'd previously received additional Ordinary Shares by choosing to convert B Shares, now received additional Ordinary Shares by participating in the CRIP. C Share certificates were sent to all shareholders who had not completed a Payment Instruction form.
Before C Shares could be issued, it was necessary to compulsorily redeem all B Shares in issue. Shareholders received their B Share redemption proceeds and a pro-rated B Share dividend. Any shareholders who had an instruction in place to convert B Shares into additional Ordinary Shares were also sent their residual balances. All payments were made by cheque.
The increase in the Company's issued share capital, which occurred when shareholders chose to convert B Shares into additional Ordinary Shares, was inconsistent with the Company's strategy of maintaining a more efficient balance sheet and limiting Earnings Per Ordinary Share dilution. The only material difference between B Shares and C Shares is that C Shares do not carry the right to convert into Ordinary share. Shareholders who wanted to continue acquiring additional Ordinary Shares could do so by participating in the C Share Reinvestment Plan (the CRIP). The CRIP is a scheme operated by the Registrar in which C Shares are redeemed for cash and this cash is reinvested in the purchase of additional Ordinary Shares on behalf of the shareholders.
Redemption payments were sent to all those shareholders who had elected to redeem B Shares. Ordinary Share certificates were sent to all of those shareholders who had elected to convert their B Shares. B Share certificates were sent to all shareholders who had not completed a Payment Instruction form. B Shares were then issued in January and July of each subsequent year. With effect from January 2005, any shareholder who'd retained B Shares was also entitled to the small cash dividend, paid at 75% of LIBOR.
B Shares were redeemable convertible preference shares of 0.1p in the capital of Rolls-Royce Group plc. Shareholders could choose to redeem their B Shares for cash, convert them into additional Ordinary Shares by completing a Payment Instruction form. Shareholders who did not complete a Payment Instruction form received a B Shares. B Shares carried the right to a small cash dividend, paid at 75% of LIBOR. Making payment to shareholders in this way, as opposed to paying a dividend, helped the Group in the recovery of £182million of historic advance corporation tax.
Rolls-Royce Group plc was admitted to the official list on 23 June. Rolls-Royce plc shareholders received one ordinary share in Rolls-Royce Group plc for each ordinary share held in Rolls-Royce plc. New Rolls-Royce Group plc share certificates were issued to every shareholder and Roll-Royce plc share certificates became invalid.
Following changes to the Rolls-Royce group of companies (the Group) and its businesses over the years, the existing corporate structure, in which significant trade was carried out by the listed parent company, was no longer the most appropriate structure. To improve efficiency, and in doing so bring the Group's corporate structure in line with the majority of other FTSE 100 companies, the Company proposed the introduction of a new, non-trading, holding company to be known as Rolls-Royce Group plc, by way of a Scheme of Arrangement. This was approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting in May 2003.
Rolls-Royce plc was incorporated on 1 May 1986. Rolls-Royce plc ordinary shares were first offered to the public for sale in 1987 and the original offer price was £1.70 payable in two instalments of 85 pence. The first instalment and application had to be received by 7 May 1987 and the final instalment had to be received by 23 September 1987.

I'm currently registered in MN for 2 more seasons I think it is. for 2 of us to go ride in WI, I'd end up paying $70 in trail passes?!?!?!?!?!?! i know the sport isn't cheap, but dang. . . . For the one weekend that we seem to get over to WI (snowtracks ride), I just don't know. . . .
1998 Polaris XC 700
High miles, a few bolt-on's
1999 Polaris XC 500 SP
Wife's ride, cosmetic upgrades so far
That was a big increase for the Wisconsin Trail pass this year. I understand it was needed because of the shortfall in the supplemental funding to the clubs for Trail maintenance this past year. All but 5 Counties had snow and did some Grooming this past year which ate up a lot of the funds. If You registered your sled in Wisconsin it would cost you $30.00 and be good for two (2) years, instead of paying $70.00 for two (2) years of Trail passes.
Dooed...use my address!!! J/K'ed
I had both mine registered here before I quit enforcing laws and went lawless moving to WI.
I can email you the letter I used when I registered them both over the last couple years...exempting me for the sales tax on a non-WI Sled.

Redhorse wrote:Another question the responses to which I would be interested in:
1) Thoughts on war in general.
2) Is it really possible to be a "war criminal"?
3) the two atomic bombs dropped/ fire bombing in WW2 by the U.S., good or bad, should we have or shouldn't we have
4) opinions on America's system of foreign policy (kinda on the borderline of being philosophical, but meh)
5) is it right to interfere in the affairs of other countries? and if so, when is it okay and when isn't it?
6) Is war justified? Can it ever be?
7) The 20th century was by far the bloodiest century in history. Why do you suppose that is? (duh, because of WWs, etc. mostly, but I mean what do you think was the cause of so much war between humans)
8) Is it ever morally appropriate to target innocent civilians?
9) Are all non-combatants innocent?
10) Are all combatants appropriate targets?
11) Opinions on prisoners of war? Should prisoners even be taken? If so, how should they be treated?
Related quote: "A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him." - Winston Churchill.
12) Should terrorists in other countries who are american citizens be given due process of law? Should we expend lives just to take these people alive?
13) How should a state army deal with civilian human shields, voluntary or involuntary, who protect the enemy with their own bodies? How much risk must the state's soldiers assume to minimize casualties among the civilians on the other side?
14) In war, what actions can be considered immoral?
1) It's basically unavoidable in many cases, sadly. I don't really care either way, as long as they don't try to enlist me, etc.
2) Yes? since there is such a title, although it's a pretty iffy title.
3) I feel one was certainly necessary. The second was overkill IMO, but who knows what would have happened if they only used one.
4) America's trying to basically be the world police, since no one else cares to do the dirty work. They obviously benefit in various ways, but they're screwing themselves over in the long run IMO.
5) The lines pretty grey between "right" and "wrong" when it comes to killing people. I think there are times when other countries need to step in, but whether that's right or wrong is questionable.
6) Grey area again, just a matter of opinions.
7) People seem to love wallowing in ignorance and killing each other. More people on earth=more of both.
8) Not in my opinion, but morality is a fickle thing between different people.
9) No.
10) Yes
11) They should be treated humanely, but not extremely well.
12) No, if someone chooses to leave their country and betray it, then they should be treated like any other terrorist.
13) Try to not kill them, but don't take huge risks to save them. If they're willingly letting themselves be used as human shields they should be treated like enemy soldiers and killed or captured.
14) Torture, rape and killing innocent civilians. Of course just like any question on morality, subjective.

Suits & Clothing Size Charts
To get accurate measurements, you will need a soft measuring tape and a friend or partner to help out. Of course, you can always stop in to any Men's Wearhouse and we'll be happy to take your measurements
Suits, Suit Separates, Sport Coats & Outerwear
Measuring Guide
Step 1: Chest Measurement Wrap the tape measure around your torso. Go underneath your arms, across your shoulder blades, and over the largest part of your chest. The chest measurement is usually the size of the coat. For a more relaxed fit, add 1 inch to the total measurement.
Step 2: Over Arm Measurement However, if your over arm measurement is more than 7 inches larger than your chest measurement, the over arm measurement trumps the chest measurement. In this case, your suit size needs to match your over arm measurement.
Your over arm measurement is important, particularly if it is larger than your chest measurement. If this is the case, you will need to fit your chest and upper arm rather than rely on the chest measurement alone. For example, if your chest measurement is 40 inches and the over arm measurement is 49 inches (remember, you subtract 7 from the over arm measurement), you will likely want to start with a size 42 to accommodate your larger upper arms and shoulder width.

Measuring Tips
Step 1: Neck Measurement. Measure your neck below your Adam's apple, at the place your shirt collar usually hits. Take the total circumference and add ½ inch. This number is your neck size.
Step 2: Sleeve Measurement.Keeping your arm down at your side, measure from behind the center of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist. This number is your sleeve length.

Pants, Slacks
Measuring Tips
Step 1: Waist Measurement Measure your waist near your navel. The measuring tape should be snug (do not measure over your belt). For a proper fit, dress slacks are worn above the hipbone on the natural waist at about the height of the navel.
Step 2: Hem Measurement When you purchase slacks, you can choose plain-hemmed or cuff-finished pants when tailoring the pant length. Our standard cuff width is about 1¼ inches. Cuff-finished pants will be cut evenly to the heel.
Plain-hemmed (cuffless) bottoms should be slanted toward the heel—shorter in the front and slightly longer in the back.
Break Types When the fabric of your pant leg is longer than your physical leg, pants fold or bend above the cuff. This is called a break. There are three types of pants breaks, each of which suits a different style of pants:
- Full Break or Deep Break: A more classic and traditional look, best suited to pleated pants with wider legs, the Full Break extends to the top of the shoe heel or further in the back and covers about 2/3 to ¾ of the laces on your shoe in the front. The pants fold once (break) where they meet the top of the shoe, creating more fullness throughout the pant and more coverage to your footwear. (Your socks will never show, even when you're walking.)
- Slight Break or Half-Break: About ¾ to 1 inch shorter than a Full Break, pants with a Slight Break have a slight fold a few inches above the bottom of the hem where the pant cuff hits the shoe. The Slight Break works with both flat-front or pleated trousers, plainly finished or cuffed.
- No Break: Also sometimes called a "flood," No Break pants are just long enough in the front to touch the top of the shoe without creating any bend (break) in the fabric when you are standing normally and looking straight ahead. This allows the pants to drape cleanly throughout the leg and is best suited for a slim, flat-front trouser. Take advantage of the No Break by weaing your fun socks, because when you walk or sit, your socks will definitely show.

Bay Bridge Dress Shoes
I initially bought a pair a while back and liked them so much that I decided to purchase another pair on-line. The only problem I had with doing this is not being able to see the quality of the shoe before purchase. So when they arrived one of the shoes bottom cushion was not glued properly and now have a bottom shoe cushion problem. So my suggestion to the builder of these shoes is to have better quality control when sending the shoes by mail. Especially for the price you pay to have good quality.

This shoes are very nice they are very comfortable I know they are pricey but well worth it. I wear these shoes with blue jeans, nice dress shirt and a blue sports coat. Or I wear them even when I dress down blue jeans and a camp shirt. You cant go wrong with these shoes they are everyday shoes with great looks and comfort. I will be getting the black pair.

would have given 5/5 starts except, the 1st time I put these on, something in the heal kept poking me. Took shoe off, and a nail was protruding from the sole. A quick trip to the garage with a hammar and punch fixed the issue, but for the price, I would have expected better QC. After the fix, it is a very comfortable shoe that goes great with dress as well as jeans. Only dress socks will work with these

NEW YORK — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new means of administration for a multiple sclerosis drug, the manufacturers said.
Pfizer and EMD Serono announced the approval of Rebif Rebidose (interferon beta-1a), a single-use auto-injector for self-administering Rebif, used to treat relapsing forms of MS. EMD Serono is the U.S. division of German drug maker Merck KGaA, so-named to avoid confusion with U.S.-based Merck & Co.
"We are pleased to announce the FDA has approved Rebif Rebidose, which provides people living with relapsing MS another option to meet their injection needs," EMD Serono president James Hoyes said. "The introduction of Rebif Rebidose underscores our commitment to the MS community and to our investment in the development of delivery devices to assist with ease of use and support those living with MS."

BACKGROUND: A new experimental transplant procedure has been shown to successfully treat Type I diabetes in at least one patient, relieving that patient of the need to take daily insulin injections.
THE PROBLEM: Type I diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Diabetes sufferers must inject insulin every day, or their blood sugar levels can rise out of control. Insulin is a chemical substance in the body (technically a hormone) that is needed to regular blood sugar levels. It also helps the body use fat and protein.
THE SOLUTION: Islets are cell clusters in the pancreas that control the release of insulin as needed to maintain normal levels of blood sugar in the body. Before the transplant, islet cells are collected from a donor pancreas. A catheter is inserted into the patient's abdomen and threaded into the portal vein, which carries blood to the liver. Then a teaspoonful of islet cells is injected through the catheter. The patient is conscious but anesthetized during the procedure, and can usually return home within a day or two. More than one transfusion of islet cells may be needed, and the patient must remain on immune-suppressant therapy for life to prevent the transplanted tissue from being rejected by the body. Immunosuppressive drugs can have severe potential side effects, so the procedure is not appropriate for the vast majority of diabetic patients.
WHERE TO FIND IT: Only a few medical centers in the world currently offer this procedure, which is experimental and performed as clinical research. Ten of those centers are located in the U.S., and include Carolinas Medical Center. See www.carolinas.org.
ABOUT TYPE I DIABETES: This is known as an autoimmune disease, because the body destroys its own cells: those that produce insulin. When all those cells have been destroyed, the symptoms of Type I diabetes appear. These include unexplained weight loss; vision problems; more frequent urination; and feeling very hungry, thirsty or tired. Among other long-term complications, Type I diabetes means there is an increased risk of kidney failure, nerve damage, heart disease and blindness.

Hi everyone!
I did a PH cycle when I was 22 (I'm 25 now) that I got from a local health store (It was called like Drostanol). I didn't do the research.. I just listened to the sales associate and do not believe it helped me gain anything.
After reading.. I think that RPN Havoc might be a good one to start out with.. I just have some questions.
First off, on cycle I plan to taken RPN Havoc, 1000mg of fish oil, Animal Flex Stak for joint, *** Sport Multivitamin, Competitive Edge Labs Cycle Assist. Am I missing anything here? Also, do I need to preload hawthorne berry and milk thistle before the cycle? They are all in the CEL Assist, so I could preload with that or just take it when I start the cycle.
Next is dosing.. I was thinking about running two full bottles of RPN Havoc for best results I have read that 6-8 weeks is what most do so I was going to run 8 weeks. So if I have 180 pills (2 bottles) what MG per a day should I take. I reacted fine to the first PH I took with 30mg per day.
For PCT I have ordered 50ml of 20mg of the liquid of Novaldex, I also have a bottle of Erase on hand (if needed), Test Powder by USP Labs (I have had good luck with this test booster powder), and I'm not sure if I need it but I also have Competitive Edge Labs P.C.T Assist? I also need to know how long to run the PCT and when to start it (on my last week of Havoc or the day after) and what doses of Novaldex to run.
I will be taking creatine, at least 200+grams of protein per day, and a pre workout supplement as well during the cycle and PCT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Very yummy. My Mom liked this recipe, and even told my Dad about the dinner I made. The only thing I would do differently next time is add more carrots, and only use 1 onion. I also forgot to add the cabbage :( I'm sure it would have been even more awesome with the cabbage. This is a great crock pot recipe that you can just let sit, and slowly cook all day until dinner time.
I made this as my first paleo recipe, since hubby is a big meat eater and wanted it to go over well with him. Boy did it! He LOVES it! I've made it 5x so far and he still loves this one the best I think.Thanks for sharing it. I too forgot the cabbage one time but it tastes just as good with or without.
@Neely: Yes, I turned it on… Put it on low for 3:pm, at 10pm when i came home (busy day) the meat was still raw, not a room temprarature per se – a little dark on the outside, but still very raw in the inside. I left it all through the night and at about 3:30 am I woke up to the smell… I went down to try it… not good at all. @_@ and the cabbage was brown from the meat >_<… the next day i had to throw away the cabbage and vegetables… shread the meat, cut some cilantro, make some hot sauce and use it for making tacos… SO FAR, all the recipies i have gotten here have been good, not sure what went wrong with this one… do the crack pots not all give the same temperature when you put it in low??
I tried this recipe and it was not the best (although I loved your other recipes!!) The meat was not cooked after 7 hours low in my crock pot, and the veggies had no flavor… I cooked about 5 hours more then eventually the meat became tender, but flavorless.
I have been cooking beef pot roast with my crock pot, but none of them call for 5 CUPS of water. I guess without water or less than a cup of water might work.
I don't think I'd like to try it again though.

Short term mooring might be at Elm Point but I don't know the regulations. You can check with the historic society who I think manages the grounds. You have good weather protection but would use all chain (maybe 5/16) and 30 Lbs plow. The EJ marine might cut you a deal since half the season is over with and I talked to them about the bad image they show with half the slips empty. They did dredge it this spring but more needs to be done and the weeds do turn people away. The other option is Ironton and I do like Irish boat shop for winter storage (been there since 1975 and never a complaint) .
Bye for now John
