Coast Guard statistics show that anglers are particularly vulnerable as they often boat alone and in cold weather. For this reason, the BoatUS Foundation has worked closely with the angling community on boating safety for over a decade. Among the excuses given by anglers for not wearing a life jacket is they get in the way of casting a rod. Manufacturers of life jackets have attempted to address these concerns by repositioning flotation in these active wear life jackets and making them more multi-functional.
Stormy Seas Expedition
The Stormy Seas Expedition ($149) looks like a typical fly fishing vest. It has many pockets and was the thinnest and lightest jacket in this category. It also offered the greatest range of hip and waist motion. It was the only fishing vest to use a small CO cylinder to inflate an internal bladder. Like all of the inflatable life jackets we tested, it was challenging to swim in effectively, however, it can always be deflated slightly if necessary and re-inflated with the oral inflation tube.
Baltic Fisherman and Stearns Sport Vest
The Baltic Fisherman ($90.07), Stearns Sport Vest ($35.71) and Onyx Classic Fishing Vest ($49.99) are all constructed with inherently buoyant material. Each vest features adjustable belts, large armholes and pockets for small gear. The Baltic was longer in the waist than the others and was noticeably heavier than the others when exiting the water. The Stearns and the Onyx had large drain holes or mesh to help alleviate this issue.
The favorite in this group and our "Staff Pick" was the Onyx, available at West Marine. It edged out the Stearns slightly because the straps prevented the vest from riding up or shifting. The back of the vest also has some flotation that was designed to ride up slightly to keep the neck and head positioned up when treading water, which made our testers feel more secure. The price of the Onyx was also reasonable, especially when you consider it is a fishing vest and life jacket in one.

This is a fun adventure, and it's legal, for it's not "a named arch in Arches National Park." Even though it's 5.3 , we chose to rope up, and we wanted/needed a rope for the simul-rappel one climber off each side at once. It's a very exciting thing to do, and you it gets your heart beating and blood flowing. Climb the spine of the arch fromt he right side, up cracks and grooves.
Between mile marker 102 and 103. Park just at the arch in the pull-out.
Take a few cams, and your rope. Simul-rap off the top, one climber on either end of the rope; and the rope pulls right over the top through the rock and dirt. Just don't unclip until our partner is down.
We climbed this arch in April of 1993. I simul-rapped off he top of the arch with John Barbie as my conter-weight, and then we held one end of the rope as Cyndie Bransford rapped off the other end. It was a thrilling experience to rappel through space down the eye of the big arch. This is a really fun and exciting thing to do, and it's actual 5th class climbing to get to the summit, so it's not a place where you will see tourists with their lap dogs and lawn chairs. The rappels off the arch are a real show-stopper for the cars driving by. If you have a couple hours to burn, I suggest go do Wilson Arch; it's good bang for your buck.
Do it for the simul-rap, not the climb. It is a fun little side trip, as Todd says, if you have a couple of hours to burn. There is also a decent anchor w/ slings if you are doing it solo.
Soloed it.... without a rope. I found a few sections of the downclimb pretty scary! This one would have been way cooler with a partner and a rap!
Climbed it in 3 pitches, but really a rope is just for emotional support. It's easy, but long stretches without gear placements. The Looking Glass is nearby and supposedly rated a 5.7, but they seemed the same, so I'm splitting the difference and saying both are 5.5. I was excited to try a simul-rap, but when we got up top, it was narrower and flatter than we expected. Didn't think it was a good 1st simul-rap, so we used the rap anchors.
If you plan to rap off the anchors on top a 60 meter rope will just barely get you down.
the crux is the first move off the starting shoulder. well protected with finger size. 5.6 but i did it in my hiking boots. my partner in climbing shoes seemed to think it was easier than that. smooth sailing after that
The approach beta here says that the arch is between mile markers 102 and 103, but that's actually the Looking Glass Rock turnoff. Wilson Arch is another 2-3 miles down the road. We climbed it in 2 long pitches (see topo) with a 70 for nearly 400 feet of climbing. The climbing is kind of crappy but the rappel makes it worth it. A single 70m rope easily gets you down if you rappel from the anchors but it wouldn't be enough for the simul rap.

I Found Something Better Than Endowmax
I've stopped using Endowmax. I consider myself a student of natural male enhancement products, so I try to keep an open mind about things. So even though this is an Endowmax review, I've got to be honest and say that I like another product better. Endowmax is NOT the best way to increase the size your penis. Herbs alone simply can't do this.
If you want to make your penis bigger naturally, you must do penis exercises. In my last entry I wrote about Penis Advantage, which I think is the best penis exercise program available today. I do these exercises religiously and have seen positive results.
Zenerx is Better than Endowmax
But I haven't changed my mind about one thing. I strongly believe that natural herbs can increase erection strength and prevent premature ejaculation. I've been using a product called Zenerx for the last couple of months, and there's no question that it's far superior to Endowmax.
The herbs in Zenerx are thoroughly tested for purity and strength. Of all the male enhancement pills out there, Zenerx probably has the purest ingredients. And each pill contains a very strong dose of these high-quality herbs. The results are quite powerful.
Endowmax only took me so far. But by doing penis exercises and taking Zenerx, I've taken my sexual abilities to a higher level.
Here's an interesting video featuring genuine people (they don't look like actors to me!) describing how Zenerx has affected their sex lives.
If you'd like to check out the Zenerx website, just go to the official website HERE. Forget about reading all those Endowmax reviews. There's no doubt in my mind that Zenerx is just so much better than Endowmax.

Welcome aboard the HMS (His Michael's Ship) CROISSANT NEUF anchored in the heart of the Glastonbury festival Greenfields, just over the old railway line on the left heading towards the stone circle.
Amidst the tides of climate and radical change this ship will sail you forth into the sea of sustainability at its highest peak, swashbuckling our way through the crest of the waves of an eclectic music line up, promising to ride you through the most fast and furious storms of the likes of Laid Blak and The Destroyers back down to the gentle and tranquil dulcet tones of The Vicars Choral and Moya Brennen (Clannad) and her family.
Whether you are a Glastonbury Festival veteran or taking your first steps into the world of festival – the Croissant Neuf Field can promise you an experience like nothing you've experienced before!!
As is our heritage, environmental issues are at the forefront of everything we do. Our entire field is 100% Solar Powered – yes completely off the grid and our pioneering approach has won us The Best Green Festival Awards 3 times over from The UK Festival Awards with our own Croissant Neuf Summer Party, nestled in the beautiful hills of Monmouthshire (www.cnsp.co.uk) - an inspiration for Worthy Farm to install their own solar farm to make clean green electricity.
Here we are proud to have been pioneering and showcasing the potential of wind and solar power for over 2 decades, where all electricity is generated entirely from the sun, powering lighting around our arena (by Selene Events Ltd and Wind & Sun Ltd) to main stage PA (by Event Solar Ltd) in the Croissant Neuf venue.
Having set sail across the sea of sustainability we have landed in the exotic oasis of the Croissant Neuf field, a legendary treasure in itself, where you can enjoy a special sun soaked weekend of solar power, music, laughter, friendship and relaxation. Mooch around and talk to experts on Alternative Energy uses with Wind and Sun Ltd and Solar Energy Alliance…….or learn how to build an Eco Home with self build pioneers Ecomotive from Bristol. Heal those niggling ailments with herbs, tinctures and brews from modern day witches Sensory Solutions.
Everbody loves a festival bargain – here we host an array of traders ranging from postcards to dressing up fancy or anything and everything in between. So grab a souvenir to take home or send home, all products guaranteed to be fair trade, organic as possible and sustainable.
New for this year……………………..
Next to the long established Croissant Neuf Venue, new to the Greenfields, we welcome Fat Belly's Puppet Café – to sustain your appetite from scrumptious tantalising nibbles to all day breakfast and mouthwatering meals – something to suit the tastebuds of every palette.
For the first time ever at Glastonbury Festival we are proud, honoured and excited to present The Vicars Choral of Wells who are celebrating their 650th year and will be opening our venue at 1pm on Friday with their sublime voices singing out Beatles ballads and other such well knowns. Definitely an event to go down in history!
In fact the whole line up is virtually new apart from good old stalwarts like Biggles Wartime Jugband, an all time favourite on our bandstand on Thursday afternoon.

Then prove it & send them to prison. Doesn´t do any good to just talk about it.
I thought there was a law that destruction for a union cause was not a crime.
here´s an old law passed back in the early 50´s that said small business is supposed o get some pct.(maybe around 28%) of government infrastructure projects.Of course Obama has ignored this law,gave the contracts to cronies,falsified data entries to get around it. When they got caught,they blamed it on the data entry person. Getting rid of bacon Davis would be a huge gift to the taxpayers in this country but the republicans never push for it.The government is supposed to take the lowest bid on projects,that´s hardly likely when it´s in the law they have to hire union thugs.Even if you increased the small business take on projects up to 35%,it would create a fairly big economic boost.
Really? A union committed sabotage? Who knew.........
Remember the ILGWU tv ad from the 70´s that included the classy song: "Look for the union label...". I still look and if the product under consideration has one, I simply don´t buy it.
Union, don´t they mean the mob?
No surveillance cameras?
Judged by their actions, the unions seem much more like terrorist organizations than advocacy groups.
Assuming that the guilty are eventually caught, seems to me that Lt McClay may have given them a get out of jail free card. Even if the odds greatly favor union involvement, his saying that he´s convinced of their guilt will be defensively used to raise issues of profiling and of not looking for all possible suspects. It absolutely should not be an issue, but defense will make it one and it may work.
We need to BAN unions.
I´m SHOCKED......that a bomb wasn´t used by union thugs here.
Insurance company may well pursue the perp for reimbursment of policy payment. Hope so
When, oh when, are we going to outlaw the acetylene torch? I think all people who own one should be finger printed!I know this for a fact. If no one owned one, then this sensless tradegy would never have occurred.
#6, there´s a difference?
shocked I am...(in my very best ´star wars´ voice)
Organized labor = organized crime- Since forever!
LIBERAL AGENDA AT WORK...Nothing to see or hear here folks...And the MSM will make sure you don´t!
Oh Yea, I remember that song. Thats the one that AlGores mom sang him to sleep with.

Woods' event, which he has hosted for 14 years (and 13 of those have been at Sherwood) will tee off one last time in Thousand Oaks before he moves it to Isleworth in Florida. The 18-player field featuring some of the top 50 players in the world – starting with No. 1 Woods – will host one last California party that ends Sunday. "I think this...

Did Hundley save his best for last in UCLA rout over USC?
Brett Hundley saved his best for USC. But did Hundley save his best for last? Hundley capped his up-and-down season with a dandy against USC. He struggled at times this season. He shined in certain moments. But Hundley was by far the most impressive quarterback at the Coliseum on Saturday and led UCLA to a 35-14 rout over USC. And he was the best he's been all season. Hundley threw for 208 yards on 18 of 27 passes (with no touchdowns and no...

Tiger Woods' departure from Southern California leaves us guessing
Was it something we said? Maybe it's our traffic, smog or state taxes. It definitely can't be our hospitality or golf courses.Whatever it is, Tiger Woods is saying goodbye to golf in Southern California.

General news
Augusta invests millions in ... parking lot?
Just when you thought Augusta National Golf Club couldn't outdo itself, it spends $8.3 million to buy nearby land on which it intends to build a parking lot, according to a report in Bloomberg News. Last year, Augusta purchased a garden apartment complex that since has been demolished, according to the report. The 9.8-acre site will be used for parking and other support services, an Augusta spokesman told Bloomberg News. "Any other commentary would be misleading...

Petition to Repeal Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' Law
Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' Law is a moral and legal outrage! This unbelievable law permits anyone, anywhere and at anytime to use lethal force against another individual with only the ground that they felt 'threatened'. Already tragedies have occurred because of this outrageous law. If something is not done Florida could become a battlefield, and other states could follow with similar laws.
Read below two instances in which this law has already resulted in tragic failures of justice and then please sign this petition to have this monstrosity removed.
This law is in essence a 'License to Kill'. We need your help in having it removed. Please sign now.

VIP Executive Diplomatico Hotel Lisbon Guest Reviews (20)
Found the staff at the hotel to be very friendly and helpful. A very large comfortable lobiie as well as another large comfortable seating area near the bar. There is a hot and cold breakfast available in the dinning room or brought to your room and a mini-bar and tea in your room. It is centrally located being just around the corner from the two main Metro lines. Also lots of English TV stations for news and films. The rooms are very clean, warm and comfortable. Also important to me is the fast wi-fi in the room as lots of hotels boast of having wi-fi only to find out it doesn't work in the rooms but here it was perfect. I will definately be staying here again on my next visit to Lisbon.

Report: Gomez to sign with Sharks
According to a tweet from TSN's Darren Dreger, free agent forward Scott Gomez is likely to sign a deal with the San Jose Sharks today.
Scott Gomez should officially become a member of the San Jose Sharks today. At least it's headed in that direction now.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) January 22, 2013
Gomez was placed on waivers and became a free agent following the NHL allowing accelerated compliance buyouts in the wake of the lockout. Gomez's struggles were highly publicized last year in Montreal, scoring just 2 goals in 38 games.

Banned because now that MMB is here.
Initial thoughts of GBMS is good. Very keys heavy which is never a bad thing for me. Overall an enjoyable album but still not quite up there with Elephant at least for me.
Top 3 would be
1. My Doorbell
2. Blue Orchid
3. The Denial Twist
None of which are in your list. Shows how good the album is though.
I'm Lonely just barely missed out on top 3 so I give it an honorable mention.

NAGE National President David J. Holway today announced the promotion of Gina Lightfoot Walker to the position of General Counsel. The announcement was made at the meeting of the National Executive Board. Former General Counsel Richard Barry assumed the position of Counsel to the President.
I have the utmost confidence in Gina, said Holway. She has been an outstanding attorney and leader for this organization for more than a decade. Ginas an unbelievably hard worker and stops at nothing to be sure that members have the best representation and support possible.
In a statement—at times humorous, serious, and emotional—Gina thanked President Holway and Counselor Barry for their confidence in her and the solid support and mentoring they provided her over the years.
I feel extremely honored to be taking on the position of General Counsel, she said. I am grateful to President Holway for giving me the opportunity to serve NAGE in this capacity.
I also feel overwhelmed, she said. When I think of filling Rick Barrys shoes I become overwhelmed because I know I cannot fill his shoes. He probably wears a size 12. I only wear a size 8, sometimes 7 1/2. Rick is irreplaceable, but I intend to carry on what he has begun.
As the new General Counsel, I intend to further the mission of NAGE by making sure the legal department has what it needs to do what it does best - fighting hard and fighting smart to ensure the best working conditions for all NAGE members and their families.
I am also very, very humbled that President Holway chose me to help him make history. I am humbled to be the first woman in this position. I am humbled to be the first person of color in this position, and I hope I am not the last.
The new Counsel to the President shared Ginas promotion with great pride.
Ive been working with Gina for many years and Ive watched her grow as an attorney and as a leader of this organization, Barry said. She is very capable, driven, and hardworking, and I have no doubt that she will lead our legal department with great passion and integrity. Im very proud of Gina today and wish her great success.
Also in her remarks to the board and guests, Gina made a point of graciously thanking her mother, godmother, and husband, who attended to share in the announcement of her promotion. She also expressed her great appreciation for the local leaders and NAGE staff she has worked with over the years.
Gina began her career with NAGE in April 2001 as an Assistant Regional Counsel in the Washington Regional Office. As an Assistant Regional Counsel, she assisted local officers and members with ULPs, arbitrations and contract negotiations. She litigated cases before the FLRA, EEOC, MSPB, DC Public Employees Relations Board, and DC Office of Employee Appeals.
Shortly after joining NAGE, she was promoted to Deputy General Counsel in the Legal Department. As one of two deputies, Gina was responsible for managing attorneys and their legal work in regional offices in Washington, DC, Atlanta, the Midwest and West Coast.
In 2007, Gina was promoted to Director of the Federal Division, in addition to maintaining her position as Deputy General Counsel. As Director, she managed a staff of lawyers, organizing and field representatives, regional coordinators, administrative assistants and a legislative and communication specialist. She serves as the federal adviser to the National President and the National Executive Board on policy issues related to labor and employment matters in the federal government.
Gina also serves as the President Holway's adviser on the National Council on Labor/Management Relations. She currently serves as the chair and adviser on labor/management partnerships and forums for the Federal Workers Alliance, a coalition of 22 federal labor organizations.

Mike Malloy www.barrelsofblood.com
Mike Malloy came to talk radio by serendipity. Writing for CNN in 1987, a friend at an Atlanta radio station told him there was an opening for a weekend talk show host, if working for no pay was acceptable. Malloy gave it a try and decided it was more fun than actually working for a living at CNN. He was hooked and within a few months was being paid enough to cover basic necessities like rent, food and beer . But, that was a long time ago. His radio experience includes the 50,000 watt blow-torches in both the South and the Midwest, respectively WSB-AM in Atlanta and WLS-AM in Chicago, and as one of the original hosts on Air America - a two-year-long association that ended in a massive train wreck. Mike's nationally-syndicated program can now be heard weeknights on affiliates and on XM Satellite and Sirius Satellite Radio as well as on live Internet streaming.
In addition to writing and producing for CNN (1984-87) and CNN-International (2000), his professional experience includes newspaper columnist and editor, writer, rock concert producer and actor. He is the only radio talk show host in America to have received the A.I.R (Achievement in Radio) Award in both Chicago and New York City, the number three and number one radio markets in the country.
It is not difficult to pigeon-hole Malloy politically. Generally speaking, he is a traditional Liberal Democrat doing his part to return the Democratic Party to its Liberal roots.
He is married to Kathy Bay with whom he has a daughter born in July, 2004. He has an additional five children, all grown, and five grandchildren.
Kathy Bay
Married to Mike in 1997, Kathy never expected a career in radio as a talk show producer. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Kathy was completing her nursing degree when in 2001 - in an emergency - she was asked to fill in as the producer of Mike's program. Within a few weeks she knew she'd found more than a temporary job. Since that beginning, Kathy has steadily grown more comfortable behind the control console, editing, engineering, and assisting in topic selection for the program while also retaining a fairly sizeable chunk of her sanity. Oh, and did we mention the utter (joyful) chaos of raising a daughter who, for some odd reason, only stops talking when she's asleep. Strange, that.
A life-long "talk radio junkie," Kathy takes her job with all the seriousness required, and thoroughly enjoys producing a talk show that's intelligent, factual, informative, and most of all entertaining. She takes great pride in -- and has great fun with -- the two biggest joys in her life: Their daughter Molly, and producing one of the most dynamic talk programs in radio.

text: ANAMOSA, Iowa - Long before you threw a leg over a real motorcycle or drove a car, you may have practiced with a tin or cast iron toy version on the living room rug, or ran your pedal car on the sidewalk. Toy motorcycles and cars set the stage for our passion for real vehicles. Now the National Motorcycle Museum can help you re-live your youth with a great expose of these small machines from the 1900's in an exhibition entitled "Little Wheels". Makers like Marx, Vindex and Hubley plus other European and American makers fired our young fantasies with police, racing, touring and even some trick machines. Over 400 motorcycle toys now live in the collection of the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. You'll get a chance to take in examples of great "motor toys" in a special expanded exhibit that opened November 20, 2009. Lenders to the Museum will also assist in making this a show great with some very unique and rarely seen toys. And while some of us put a lot of miles on our toys, maybe "ran the wheels off them," others put away the original box with all its interesting graphics and placed the toy on display on a shelf out of harms way. Great examples of how the toys looked and worked in their original form, and packaging will part of this display as well. "This show, just in time for the holidays, is a great chance for parents and grandparents to show their kids what they played with.....long before the microchip became commonplace," says Museum Director Jeff Carstensen. "If you have ever been curious as to the range of toys made, or want to go back and see some of your favorites again, this show is also a perfect historical reference." The show will be featured on the upper level of the museum through April 2010. "Little Wheels" is one of many exhibitions you will enjoy at the National Motorcycle Museum. On display are over 225 motorcycles and thousands of pieces of memorabilia including posters, apparel, photographs, awards, plus feature exhibitions on celebrities like Von Dutch, Evel Knievel, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper of Easy Riders fame. More information about the National Motorcycle Museum can be found at the museum website, www.nationalmcmuseum.org or by calling 319-462-3925 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. The National Motorcycle Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.

Wednesday, Nov 271:27 PMReport: Telecom Italia trying to sell Brazilian towers, AMT a possible buyer
- Bloomberg reports Telecom Italia's (TI +0.2%) Brazilian unit (TSU -0.5%) is partnering with Morgan Stanley to find potential buyers for its 7K mobile towers, and that TI proper is "analyzing internally" how to unload its 12K Italian towers.
- American Tower (AMT -0.2%) is named as a potential bidder for the Brazilian assets, which one source thinks could fetch €700M ($951M).
- The report comes as expectations grow TI will eventually sell TSU, in which it owns a 67% stake, altogether. Major TI shareholder Telefonica wants to see a Brazilian sale, but TI has said there's currently no sales process underway.
- AMT is only two months removed from announcing a $4.8B deal to acquire major U.S. tower owner Global Tower Partners. Before that, the company struck an $811M tower purchase/lease-back agreement with NII Holdings for over 4,400 Brazilian and Mexican towers.
- Muddy Waters has been quite critical of an older Brazilian tower purchase deal carried out by AMT.

Tuesday, Sep 1712:55 PMBloomberg: AT&T looking to sell tower portfolio, could get $5B
- Bloomberg reports AT&T (T +0.6%) is looking for a buyer for its massive cell tower portfolio in a deal that could be worth $5B.
- American Tower (AMT -0.3%), Crown Castle (CCI +0.1%), and SBA (SBAC) are natural potential suitors for part or all of the portfolio. AMT is fresh off announcing a $4.8B deal to acquire private tower owner Global Tower, whose assets are mostly U.S.-based.
- AT&T has spiked slightly higher on the report. A tower sale would help Ma Bell pay down some of the $75.2B in debt it held at the end of Q2, and thus strengthen its balance sheet as it turns its eyes toward Europe.
- Back in March, RBC speculated AT&T could sell its tower assets for a "mid-$5 billion" or higher price tag.

Sunday, Sep 811:10 PMMuddy Waters not impressed with American Towers' purchase
- "We're more skeptical than ever," writes Muddy Waters, surprising no one by maintaining its Strong Sell on American Tower (AMT) following the purchase of Global Tower Partners.
- The $4.8B price tag is "astoundingly expensive" at about 19x 2014 EBITDA, says the research firm, questioning how management will be able to keep its promise to rapidly de-lever after paying so much.
- "We always think about possible ulterior motivations ... Might AMT management, which certainly has a record of being less than transparent about its overseas business, be desperate to augment its tower base by 25% in order to obscure [slowing] organic growth going forward, and to maintain the optics of 20% dividend growth at any cost?"
- Previous: In mid-July, Muddy Waters issues its initial Strong Sell and $44 PT on American Tower - AMT was at about $74 per share then; it closed at $71.91 on Friday after a post-deal 4.6% gain.

Friday, Sep 610:15 AMCell tower stocks rally following AMT/Global Tower deal
- SBA (SBAC +2.1%) and Crown Castle (CCI +3.2%) have joined American Tower (AMT +4.4%) in rallying following news AMT is acquiring giant private cell tower owner Global Tower Partners for $4.8B ($3.3B in cash + the assumption of $1.5B in debt).
- The WSJ reported a month ago Global Tower, controlled by a REIT managed by Macquarie, was being shopped. The company owns 5.4K U.S. towers and 500 Costa Rican sites, and also has management rights to 9K+ U.S. sites (mostly rooftop assets) and property interests in another 800.
- The deal is expected to close in Q4, and will increase the size of AMT's debt load to $10.3B (offset by just $1B in cash/investments). The announcement comes a month after AMT announced an $811M Mexican/Brazilian tower purchase/lease-back deal with NII Holdings (NIHD +1.4%), and 10 months after it reached a deal to buy 2K German cell sites from KPN for $502M. NII has additional tower assets that could be on the block.
- In July, Muddy Waters criticized the accounting behind an earlier Brazilian tower purchase by AMT. The company strongly refuted Muddy Waters' claims.

Friday, Aug 91:54 PMNII Holdings and American Tower strike tower sale/leaseback agreement
- NII Holdings (NIHD +1.1%) enters into a sale/leaseback agreement with American Tower (AMT +2%). The former will sell 2,790 towers in Brazil and 1,666 towers in Mexico to the latter for $811M and sign a minimum 12-year lease agreement with the option to renew.

- The company has now executed on its two liquidity initiatives (outlined in the Q4 CC). The other initiative, a $700M debt refinancing deal, took place in May.

Tuesday, Aug 610:36 PMWSJ: Private tower owner Global Tower on the block
- The WSJ reports private cell tower owner Global Tower Partners "is being shopped to larger rivals." Analysts think the company could fetch $4B.
- Global Tower, owned by funds managed by Australian i-bank Macquarie, owns/operates/leases 16K cell sites, 6.4K of which are in the U.S., Mexico, and Costa Rica.
- Publicly-traded tower owners American Tower (AMT - $27.8B market cap), Crown Castle (CCI - $20.5B), and SBA (SBAC - $9.5B) have all shown a willingness to grow their footprints via M&A (I, II, III).
- The recent performance of their shares could make a deal easier to come by. Likewise, the higher valuations being assigned to tower owners (fueled by expectations 4G investments/mobile traffic growth will keep demand strong) could be motivating Macquarie to put Global Tower on sale.

Posted: Dec 3, 2012 10:08 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A federal appeals court has upheld a $319 million verdict over profits from the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and has rejected a request by Walt Disney Co. for a new trial.
A jury decided in 2010 that Disney hid the show's profits from its creators, London-based Celador International.
The ruling Monday by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found no issues with the verdict. It also determined there were no issues with the judge's rulings in the case.
Celador Chairman Paul Smith praised the ruling in a statement. Disney did not immediately comment.
Celador filed the lawsuit in 2004, and the judgment was entered after a trial that featured testimony from top Disney executives.

ConocoPhillips to Split into Two Companies
Thomson Reuters Ownership Intelligence offers free access to industry reports, investor profiles, job movements of investment professionals, and much more. Follow them on Twitter.
ConocoPhillips (COP-N) announced today that it will separate into two companies, spinning off its refining arm. The move comes shortly after Marathon Oil (MRO-N) did the same with what is now Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC-N). COP, the third largest oil company in the US, saw its shares rise as much as 7.5% before it closed the day up 1.6%. Though the deal does not require shareholder approval, today's price fluctuation calls into question whether current investors will support the split.
This report identifies the current shareholders as well as those of the separate entities before the megamerger in 2002.

Hey David, I've got a real specific question for you this time.
Others are encouraged to chime in, as always.
Here's the scene, as written:
John and Andie (girl) walk into a clearing in the woods. They sit on the forest floor and look up through the trees at the Milky Way.
Oh my god.JOHNPOV - we see John's silhouetted hand against a sky full of thousands of stars. Then POV of Andie's hand against the stars.
Lie back. Now hold up your hand up, like this...
JOHNIt's very dark, so we really only see outlines of them. It's also quiet, except for the sounds of crickets. Their conversation is basically taking place in the dark. In a hushed, almost religious whisper...
If our eyes could see forever, your hand right now is blocking out more stars than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth.
Do you hear that? It's quiet.
1. How could I shoot that scene of the hand silhouetted in front of the Milky Way? The only way I can think of is to shoot a timelape plate looking up through the trees, then somehow composite in the dark hands? The problem with this is that the stars will obviously be moving very fast across the sky, timelapse style.... which may turn out of kind of cool, possibly. But I was wondering if there are any special effect "plates" of a sky full of stars, complete with twinkling effects or whatever makes it look real, that I could buy and then use for the composite? Or could I possibly shoot a single frame like this and get it "video-ized" so it looks like footage rather than a still? Any other ideas come to mind? The POV shot would only be like 2 or 3 seconds long, max.
2. I guess I would choose a night when the moon will be a as bright as possible to shoot the two characters in the woods, but I do not want to use any artifical light at all if I don't absolutely have to for this shot. Knowing what you know about RED and its low-light abilities, do you think I could shoot with only moonlight for this? I don't care if it's really dark. I want it to be. That way the voices are everything.

Philanthropist and art benefactor Sir Arthur Gilbert died at his Beverly Hills home Sunday of a heart attack. He was 88 and had struggled with cancer and diabetes. The Journal had slated the following profile of Gilbert, a leading philanthropist, art collector and businessman, to run in this issue. Anita Chabria met with him last week.
Sir Arthur Gilbert was one of Los Angeles' few resident knights, having been honored by the Queen of England two years ago, but he was best-known here as a philanthropist and real estate entrepreneur who helped shape his adopted city.

Irish leader Enda Kenny made the decision not to wear a Remembrance Day poppy |
i think it was Arnie in 1 of his movies that said 'you still don't get it do you' only the blinkered can view the poppy as an emblem for the British dead, it is for all soldiers & if you can't see that, then you my friend are the facist, no wonder even the NI RC like me are willing to stay as part of the UK, the Republicans are the ones now who like to say No to everyone else, thankfully they will always be a minority
Enough already with the poppy fascists.
Irish people wearing a poppy and saying its not about britain , its about the dead guys ... tell me this, have you ever honoured the other 98% of irish dead who fought in all the other armies. South america, north america, africa ,asia and australia. Thats right , they fought everywhere, but let me guess they dont matter because they didnt join the army you want to support. Wear your poppy, but at least have the courage to admit that you do it because you want to british or feel in some way that you are.
Well said jimquad! I too wear my poppy with pride and it has nothing to do with jingoism or glorifying war. Millions of young men lost their lives in the obscenity that was WWI. Then millions more gave their lives to rid the world of Nazism in WWII!

toryTory by your name we know you, a fawning Anglophile.
Given the Third Reich did not exist in WW1 your argument is moot citizen69. THe origins in the poppy are ww1 - the notion that "Small nations shall be free" that is all 1916 was about Making a small nation free!!
Pat Roberts, more Irishmen died in one battle of WWI than died in the entire war of independence in Ireland yet you think these men should not be remembered? It's not the war, the battle or the causes of the conflict that are being commemorated but the men & women who lost their lives. Hundreds of thousands of Irish fought in both world wars, protestants & catholics side by side. They stood up against the Nazi tyranny, which was out to conquer the whole of Europe, while those in the IRA stayed at home and conspired with the Third Reich behind their backs.
Red Branch, yeash sure, and the militia's running around here in the U.S. in places like Idaho and Montana, say they are following in the foot steps of George Washington and the other AMerican revolutionaries. Should Americans cancel 4th of July because of that?
World War 1 led direcctly to World War 11. Pin your English poppy on that. Also to the demise of your English empire.
Interesting perspective redbranch - but you fail to associate the disastrous creation on yugoslavia as a result of ww1 and the effect that had up until the 1990's including genocide! Some would say that ww1 caused that debacle!
Last person to be shot as as result of WWI declarations was back in 1918. Last person to be shot dead as a result of the 1916 Proclamation, well that would be a couple of weeks ago. You pin on your lily Mr.Roberts you condone the further use of violence in Ireland. Simples!
WobblyKnee- Show me the lab where Fascism was "invented" and I'll introduce you to the fella who synthesised gravity.
Woundedknee: When I said :By all means remember and honor those brave souls who were butchered in there millions" I meant on all sides, especially since one of my relatives along with a few of his friends ending up fighting with the Germans against the allies in WW1.
My irish ancestors were not lucky enough to stay in ireland during the famine. They had to leave for England. Then 50 years later their grandchildre thought in WW! and perished. Like most people I wear the poppy to remember their sacrifice. its nothing to do with the rights or wrongs of war.
WoundedKnee, the Blueshirt government has been trying to honor those Irish who fought for England during WW2, but have failed miserably in honoring those who fought against fascism in Spain. Might be because the Blueshirts fought alongside the fascists. What do you say, Enda? Not ready to disavow your Fascist roots yet?
IrelandNorth, It's a product of my instinctual omniscience that flares anytime some intellectual deigns to pontificate. Sanctimony? Give it a miss, please.
stronbow: I guess you never read the 1916 Proclamation, if you are calling it's leaders Fascists, nor have you read the program of the first Dail in 1918. Or how well the Sinn Fein courts functioned. It was Cosgrave and company, who undid much of Sinn Fein's origianl great work, an reverted back to the British system. De Valera continued a long the same path.
ToryTory! Does that mean I can drivel sanctimoniously on about topics other than Causatively Amnesia Day Sunday. And how big was your radom sample of a sub-population of society to know that even just one person may actually have been interested in my quasi-psychological analysis.
Urgh, spare us this sanctimonious drivel, IrelandNorth. Nobody is interested in a thinly veiled socialist or quasi-psychological analysis of the Great War, or themes surrounding the Remembrance Poppy.
On being asked what he thought of western civilisation, Mathatma Ghandi replied that he thought it would be a good idea. The poppy's symbolism is that it was the only thing left growing after the wholesale slaughter was over. Red symbolise blood sacrifice, although of the imperial not republican kind. (Pacifists wear a white poppies for civilian and animal slaughter of this Euro-imperial blood fest. A letter to the editor of The Irish Times protested that proceeds from poppy sales go to ex-British Army personnel, some of whom may have been responsible for Bloody Sunday in Derry, etc. Remember more WHY they died rather than just that they did. And why would lions follow donkeys anyway? Poppy mania is an unconscious manifestation of a British ruling classe guilt complex of their ancestors sacrificial offering of servants on the alter of ethnocentric egomania! While Arlene's X-large poppy may compensate for the Taoiseach and his Irish Army aid-de-comps defiency, latter day inward migration of foreign nationals into Ireland may be pay back for the estimated 40,000 Austrians, Germans, Hungarians and Turks allegedly killed by Irishmen in BA uniform. The early 20th century ideology espoused blind obedience to authority. Never forget where this insanity leads to.
I see Woundedknee is spouting his drivel like usual: the Remembrance Poppy is the symbol of remembrance for the whole of the Commonwealth, and that includes former Commonwealth nation Ireland. The Royal British Legion, which is the primary charity for wounded soldiers, still operates in Ireland (40% of the Royal Irish Regiment hails from the ROI, just in-case your bigoted little mind didn't know). Remembrance Sunday is, likewise, a recognised memorial day with services held within the ROI.
Except it doesn't Sean: the Remembrance poppy is a commemorative symbol for fallen soldiers in the UK and Commonwealth. The principal beneficiary of the poppy is the Royal British Legion, a charity that offers succour to physically and mentally handicapped soldiers. So, which pejorative best suits you Sean? You disparage the symbol as one of colonialism & imperialism - is that your latent bigotry rearing its ugly head?
@woundedknee - just because you say its a lie, doesnt make it a lie. Furthermore, in your rebuttal of my post, I assume that you are aware of the presence and the scope of the Royal British Legion (Ireland) I myself was actually surprised at extent to which this organisation is active inside ROI. If you care to visit the website you will see that it has a separate section specifically for Ireland also :)
Did a trawl of unionist press and internet sites and guess what,no mention of Endas poppy or lack of one,what was the premise behind this article,Why was he in Eniskillen,no mention of the bomb, a disgraceful article.
One final thought. Quite a few Irishmen died fighting Fascism in the Spanish Civil War. Unlike British soldiers, they received little pay and fought purely for an ideal. How come the Poppy Police don't wear a symbol to commemorate their sacrifice?
KevinKehoe --Good post. But you neglected to mention the victims of these men. I calculate that Irishmen killed as many as 40.000 Turks, Germans, Austrians, Hungarians etc. between 1914-1918. This represents by far the greatest mass killing ever perpetrated by Irish people. Don't their victims deserve to be remembered?
barneyjo: "Its well documented..." There you go again. repeating the canrd you floated last week, even tho I challenged you on it. What you say is ignorant nonsense. The poppy was pretty much unknown in Dublin from the 1930s on. Repeating a lie doesn't make it true, it just makes you dumb.
Strongbow: "One could forward an argument that the rebels of 1916 were a band of fascists". Yes one could. If one were a bigot or a nut. By the way, how could people in 1916 follow an ideology that only was invented years later?
Since when is the poppy a celebration of war? No more than flowers on a grave are a celebration of death. Can you not just let other cultures and nations have their own traditions? Or are their culture, history and traditions somehow illegitimate until and when they acknowledge and stand in awe at your cherished culture and traditions etc. One could forward an argument that the rebels of 1916 were a band of fascists who fanned out to impose their theocratic and xenophobic vision on a populace and succeeded to a great extent. To digress a little, to characterize US intervention in Southeast Asia as a result of paranoia is naive in the extreme.
Its well documented that up until the 1960s the most successful branch of the Royal British Legion outside of London for raising money from the sale of the Poppy was.......DUBLIN!! That was of course until the IRA put them out of business. Of course it is a mark of maturity that the Irish Nation can now acknowledge that many thousands of Irishmen wore a British Uniform in both world wars during the 20th century. the youngest winner of the Victoria Cross in WW1 was a a boy soldier from Cork who was a catholic. The only winner of the Victoria Cross from the North during WW2 was a catholic from Belfast (McGuinness was his name) I was in county Donegal at the weekend and saw any number of people wearing the poppy, and guess what, the sky didnt fall in on anyone. Successive Sinn Fein Mayors of Belfast have laid wreaths on the war memorial at Belfast City hall, and in all cases, had relatives who fought and died in a British Uniform. Live and let live and leave the fascism aside.
Wear a poppy, don't wear a poppy...your choice...funds go to ex-soldiers welfare; that's what it means in 2012...
If I was to put one of those poppy-weeds on my person, my ancestors would surly rise-up and haunt me forever and rightly so. That weed is a reassuring symbol to the British elite and Imperialism that the serfs will blindly go off to foreign fields to kill and be killed in vast numbers yet again. By all means remember and honor those brave souls who were butchered in there millions at the behest of there lying masters and also remember the poor souls, many Irish among them who were lined up and shot to death because of shel-shock illness,desertion or simply not wanting to kill anymore, or some pompous a-s didn't like him, all well documented. The poppy symbolizes Imperialism at its very worst and by wearing one endorses the wrongs done by mankind to his fellow man. The Lily however is a flower of beauty and symbolizes the opposite of Imperialism.
ToryTory naming some posters as on this site as bigots is an oxymoron. His bleeding heart support of anything British underlies his hypocrisy. Roberts got it right and wounded knee makes a fair point and pilib04 is correct it represents colonialism and imperialism.
First class opinion, fair play to for your article.
it seems hypocrasy to wear a poppy commemarating the deaths of people who implimented the will of imperialist england on the subjugation ,imprisonment and death of irish men in their own country ,in defense of their ownnation.If they wear the easter lily then maybe we would wear the poppy.some things can never be forgotten,but maybe,in the spirit of conciliation,some things may be forgiven and never return to injustice,oppression,imprisonment,fear, death, and destruction.
God but Arlene's a tasty bit of flesh!
To suggest that one side was better than the other side in this war, is just plain balderdash. It was a waste of millions of working class lives solely for the profit of the upper class.
You may not approve of the wars that were held but it is no reason not to remember and honor those who served or died during these times. They followed orders and did their duty. Wearing a poopy is also a reminder of the great loss in war and to try and not have them again. Those folks need to read the history of the "birth" of the poppy and the poem "In Flanders Field".
Hey , everybody doesn't love the english. Deal with it. What was WWI fought about? A lot of poor guys from a lot of countries got killed for nothing.
Thanks Pillb04 for your vapid analysis of the Great War; equally, thank you WoundedKnee for you bizarre meanderings into the realm of politicised history. The usual dross from Irish Central presenting their bigotry for all to see.
By the way, TORY TORY is correct. The Poppy symbolizes Colonialism and Imperialism.
Enda Kenny didn't wear a poppy? Now that's a shocker! I knew he was in Enniskillen for the Remembrance Day, but just assumed he would wear the poppy. There must be some mistake. First he takes on the Pope, and now he thumbs his nose at the English. Goodness, what will happen next?
Many thousands of Irishmen perished in the War Between the States. How come the Irish aren't obsessing about commemorating their sacrifice? It is calculated that some 40.000 Irishmen fought in the Armies of the CSA, and of course a bigger number on the Union side. After the War, many veterans on both sides combined in the Irish Republican force which invaded Canada in an attempt to take the pressure of their Fenian brothers in Ireland. Why do the Irish fawn over the occupiers of their land instead of remembering these brave men? Instead of the wretched poppy, we need to devise a symbol that remembers Irishmen and women killed in action in all conflicts.
I agree with Roberts on this one. WWI was a war that was really regarding the dividing of Africa and Asia by the Imperialist European countries. They were really fighting about international hegemony. The English and French were totally uncaring about "freedom." All they cared about were their colonial possessions. I'll stick to the Easter Lily, thank you.
What utter rubbish! Whether one honors those who gave their lives for the freedom of Europe, in general, or Ireland, specifically, we should honor their heroic sacrifice. Such honor is not mutually exclusive. It is just a bit beyond the comprehension of 'modern' generations who see little for which they might be willing to die.
It's not a 'British military' symbol you idiot. Christ, all you people do is politicise something that is distinctly non-political.
Well said, Patrick. If people don't wear a British military poppy, they shouldn't be forced to. As for me, I still think the good guys were *inside* the GPO shooting out, not the other way around.
Thank you Patrick. I feel the same way.
Oh shut up Cillowen you imbecile - you're falling for the same bait that has engendered criticism of Kenny & Co: politicising a non-political act.
fools wearing the poppy to honor Britain's forked tongued promise of granting the freedom of the island of ireland to its people - that was a lie as we know. They've tried the same caper time after time but now the quislings strut their stuff for queen and merry o. Tis an upside down shamrock they should be wearing to mourn with instead.
Wearing a poppy is a way of remembering the fallen. Many Irishmen lost their lives in both WWI and WWII. Enda Kenny insults their memory by his actions and needs to grow up.
On a point of principle I would not want to commemorate it, no more than I would the Vietnam War here which I regard as the closing kick of American paranoia about communism in Southeast Asia Who in their right mind celebrates death of human brothers and sisters? Vietnam war was a Jesuit war- they love killing and feeding of the death and suffering energy- so why celebrate and feed the vile war game/
'Poppy fascism'? What a pillock and, quite frankly, how insulting. Wearing a poppy doesn't connote glorification of war, rather, it's a token of remembrance - there is a different. Certain Irishmen in the public eye - not all, mind - choose not to wear a poppy because of an encrusted, ethnic bigotry towards the British & the British Army. Well, more fool them - bunch of fools. John Snow is a well known Guardianista liberal - he's wetter than a fishes bathing suit; the fact he chooses not to wear a poppy is symptomatic of his extreme liberalism and nothing more - it's completely apart from the reason why some Irishmen choose not to wear it.
A little problem with the math. The seven million who died (paragraph six) cannot "include" eight million soldiers. There actually are es timated at anywhere from nine to 16 million (depending on whom you're counting). Civilian deaths constitute about seven million due to both military action and faminie and disease.
