Rapid Decline in Interest Rates Leveling Off
Michael Quint, Ny Times, THE JOURNAL RECORD
As bond prices fell modestly Thursday, the Treasury sold $8.75 billion of new 8 3/4 percent bonds due in 2017 at an average yield of 8.51 percent. That yield was up from the low of about 8.34 percent on Tuesday but remains far below the 9.16 percent yield for 30-year Treasury issues as recently as Jan. 8.
After such a steep drop in rates, many analysts said additional declines might require fresh evidence of a weak economy, or an easing in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. So far, the Fed has not eased policy, thereby preventing short-term interest rates from declining as much as long-term bond yields. Overnight interest rates, for example, have been little changed at around 6 3/4 percent.
The steep drop in bond yields, and hopes of further declines in coming months, are based largely on expectations that economic growth will weaken in coming months and inflation will remain low. The rapid accumulation of inventories in the fourth quarter led to expectations that businesses would cut production this quarter, assuming that consumer buying continues slack.
Analysts said that cutbacks in production, if severe enough, would encourage the Federal Reserve to push down short-term interest rates within a few months. Lower short-term rates would lead to additonal declines in bond yields.
Although bond prices have fallen about 1 1/4 points in the last two days, many analysts are still optimistic that the trend to higher prices and lower interest rates will soon resume.
``The forces are already in motion that should cause the Fed to ease and bring bond yields down to 7 1/2 percent by spring,'' said Roger A. Craig, a bond portfolio manager at the Banc One Asset Management Corp. in Columbus, Ohio.
``The decline in economic activity is going to be quite severe,'' he said, adding that the January employment data to be published today should show a rise in the unemployment rate, and a smaller gain in the number of workers on non-farm payrolls than in recent months.
Many economists have warned that even if the non-farm payrolls appear to rise by more than the 250,000 monthly average of 1987, the January gains are often exaggerated because of a faulty seasonal adjustment. In the last three years, for example, the gains in non-farm payrolls initially reported for January have been later revised downward by an average of about 221,000 workers.
Prices of outstanding Treasury bonds fell about a half point Thursday, a small decline relative to the gains of nearly 8 points since Jan. …

Harbaugh Brothers Compliment Each Other at First-Ever Joint Conference
(NEW ORLEANS) -- For the first time ever, the Super Bowl held a joint news conference for the head coaches participating in the game. Ravens coach John Harbaugh and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh fielded questions on Friday for the final time before they'll take each other on come Sunday.
John appeared in a suit and tie and Jim was in his coaching gear with a 49ers hat, but both said if given the opportunity, they'd hire each other if the situation was right.
"We've had that conversation in the past, but it's just never worked out timing wise," said John. "I'd love to work for Jim."
"You always try to get great coaches," Jim said. "There's no better coach in the NFL than this guy sitting right here."
Both credited their mother, Jackie, for always believing in them and taking them to sporting events as kids.
"No one would fight more us than our mom, no matter what the situation was," said Jim. "Or teach us really how to have each other's back. She basically made it very clear that we were to have each other's back no matter what."
As for the game, neither have thought about a post-game hug or handshake just yet and said no team has a bigger advantage based on their conversations throughout the years.

In a slowing economy, Indian FMCG majors are now betting big on economy packs to drive volumes in competitive markets. Recognising the growing demand for small packs, FMCG companies are now increasing the production capacity and distribution reach of these packs to woo cost-conscious consumers. For instance, after witnessing a 10% jump in the sales of its brands in economy packs, Dabur India, makers of Vatika hair oil, is increasing the production capacity for its low-unit packs by 15 to 20%.
Similarly, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), owners of the Amul brand, is increasing its production facility for economy packs (priced at R5 and R10) in categories such as milk, ghee and milk powder after seeing a 15% rise in the sales of these economy packs.
Realising the significance of small packs, Nivea India, an affiliate of Beiersdorf, has recently introduced its select personal care brands in economy packs priced around R20.
Meanwhile, ITC Foods and PepsiCo India are sharpening their marketing focus on economy packs to drive sales. With the economic slowdown and rising prices, consumers are now shifting to smaller economy packs. Seeing this shift, companies are now relying on small packs to drive volumes, said an industry analyst with a domestic brokerage firm in Mumbai.
In essence, the R1,85,000-crore Indian FMCG industry will soon witness the launch of many low-unit packs across various product categories.
Sunil Duggal, managing director of Dabur India, said: We have seen a 5-10% jump in the sales in our economy packs specially in personal care brands. In urban India, consumers are now down trading to economy packs while rural consumers are increasingly opting for small packs.
As a result, Dabur India is extending the production capacity for its low-unit packs by 15 to 20%.
With sales turnover of R13,760 crore, GCMMF is planning to expand the production capacity and distribution reach of its small packs in the next few months. In smaller cities, towns and up-country markets, we have seen a 15% increase in the sales of Amuls small packs. We are now planning to move into many more small towns and cities with our economy packs, said Amul Sodhi, managing director of GCMMF.
ITC Foods is also planning to increase the production capacity for its economy packs. In fact, we have witnessed a considerable jump in the sale of our brands across all pack sizes. Hence, we are increasing our production facilities for

A coach is defined as a person who is tasked with teaching or training others, usually in conjunction with athletic endeavors. When this term is applied to health, we often presume the coach is a personal trainer of sorts, focusing on optimizing fitness and nutrition for those who can afford the fee for this level of personal attention. Over the last few years, however, there has been a growing movement to provide a different kind of health coaching within the medical arena for patients who have difficulty adhering to health related regimens for medication, office visits, and management of chronic medical problems. This endeavor has been found to work for many reasons, but remains in the wings of the contemporary healthcare industry.
The first time I read about the concept of community based health coaching was via Atul Gwande's article "The Hot Spotters" published in 2011 in The New Yorker magazine included here in its entirety for interested readers. What resonated for me was the comment from one recipient who stated that the coach was effective because of the way the advice and encouragement and nudging was delivered, "Because she talks like my mother" implying that there is understanding, concern, and discipline delivered as the underlying message between coach and patient. I think most good athletic coaching is the same. While success is not measured in trophies, medals, or college scholarships when it comes to medical coaching, the potential for life changing outcomes are very real. And the opportunities for cost savings are very real as well.

Linux users: why you should watch The Wire
Simon Brew ponders one of the finest television programmes in recent memory, and wonders if its advocates share parallels with some in the open source community…
This article originally appeared in issue 92 of Linux User & Developer magazine. Subscribe and save more than 30% and receive our exclusive money back guarantee – click here to find out more.
I absolutely love the TV show The Wire. Seen it? It's the quite brilliant HBO drama that examines the problems of a city – Baltimore, in this case – from the perspective of those trying to make and enforce the law, and those who, on the whole, don't. It's devastatingly good, and the final episode, after five excellent seasons of the show, had me blubbing like a baby.
Now I've long since come to realise that the world is divided into two. There are people who have seen The Wire. And then there are those who have, at some point in their life, been told that they should watch it. Quite often, as I've discovered, said people have been nagged to the point where it's put them off the show full-stop. That because The Wire seems to attract evangelists as much as fans, it has the effect of putting people off the programme. I hate to say it, friends, but Linux has a habit of going the same way. And appreciating that any currency I've earned over the past months of writing these columns is about to be cashed in, I can't help but conclude that we're not doing ourselves any favours at times.
For I would argue this: that there is a groundswell of well-meaning Linux advocates, whose dedication and enthusiasm for the open source cause may well be sending people running in the opposite direction. That is, whether we like it or not, a natural by-product of something that we feel passionate about
and I'd always argue that we win more than we lose here.
What bothers me though is when there are elements of snobbery involved. One of the most pointless debates I've seen come up from time to time in all the while I've had an interest in Linux is its name. I have absolute respect for GNU, for the work it did in establishing the foundations on which the Linux kernel was built, and for its vision in pushing a free open source operating system when most of the market was heading in the opposite direction. I also appreciate that the proper name for Linux, if you go by the book, is GNU/Linux. Sadly, I can't recall a point where I've called it that in my life.
I do this not out of disrespect for GNU, which deserves appreciation and thanks. I also don't aim these words at it. Instead, my frustration is that, ultimately, naming isn't the first thing that needs to be put across to people. And twice now in the past month or two, I've seen that happen. I've witnessed, both online and in person, someone expressing an interest in 'Linux', only to be corrected – with different levels of politeness – as to its moniker. What also didn't help was the snobbery intoned in one of these conversations, where the enquirer was treated with a degree of disdain for running Windows on their system.
This, surely, helps nobody. It's a tough enough goal as it stands to try and woo a world weaned on proprietary software to something just a little bit different. But what's crucial in spreading the reach of open source software is approachability, both in the software itself and the people who advocate it. Sadly, on a few occasions now (and I accept that they're the exception rather than the rule), it's the latter that's been letting the side down. And it's meant that I know of at least one person who has been put off for the time-being as a result. That's surely something simple, where an obvious improvement can be made. And in the meantime, you really should watch The Wire. It's bloody brilliant.

RICHMOND, Calif. — For Jose Barrera, the horrifying memory of his 14-year-old son's unsolved murder is a Google search away.
The teenager, Kevin Barrera, was shot to death four years ago, but the grim crime scene remains on Google Maps' satellite image of Richmond, a haunting reminder of the August 2009 killing.
While the Internet giant on Monday said it will take the unusual step of removing the image as quickly as possible, the elder Barrera said it has already traumatized his family. His stepdaughter, a 26-year-old student at the University of California, Berkeley, has had trouble sleeping since the family discovered the image on Friday, he said.
"All the memories are coming back to four years ago," Jose Barrera said inside his home Monday. "I'm in shock."

Kevin was shot and killed the night of Aug. 14, 2009, on a footpath crossing the railroad tracks that separate North Richmond from San Pablo.
His body was discovered by a passer-by the next morning. The crime was never solved.
Google Maps' satellite image shows Kevin's body, a police patrol car and what appear to be police officers examining the scene near the tracks running parallel with Rumrill Boulevard.
A local TV news station notified the elder Barrera of the image on Friday, prompting him to publicly call for Mountain View, Calif.-based Google to remove it from its site.
Richmond's RYSE Center also asked for its removal. In the months before his death, Kevin frequented the youth center, which offers teens a safe space to congregate after school.
"It was a tragedy when it happened," said RYSE co-director Kimberly Aceves. "It knocked the wind out of the RYSE community. The fact the dad can access something that brings him back to that point in time is unacceptable."
Google responded directly to Barrera and news outlets on Monday, saying the company is "looking at different technical solutions" to replace the image. It could take Google eight days to do so, officials said.
"Our hearts go out to the family of this young boy," Brian McClendon, vice president of Google Maps, said in a statement. "Google has never accelerated the replacement of updated satellite imagery from our maps before, but given the circumstances we wanted to make an exception in this case."
The apology wasn't enough for Barrera, who said he's disappointed in Google and hopes the company will exercise more caution in the future.
But, he said, perhaps the new publicity will put pressure on Richmond police to solve his son's murder. However, officials said Monday they had no new leads in the case.
"I'm going to take this time to tell police, 'Don't forget my son. Close the case,' " he said.

Conan Video: Comedian Billy Eichner Celebrates Madonna With Street Interviews At The Super Bowl
By Kelly West 4 years ago comments
Billy Eichners no stranger to hitting the streets with a microphone for our entertainment. This weekend, he visited the Super Bowl to get peoples thoughts on the biggest attraction of the day: Madonna. His enthusiasm is what makes this video so funny. Also his annoyance at anyone not showing enough interest in the Material Girl or thinking the game is more important.
The late night shows have had some great post-Super Bowl segments to offer us this week, so far. Earlier we shared Jimmy Kimmels hilarious YouTube Challenge, which had him asking viewers to turn off the television during a big moment of last Sundays game. And the video segment ahead aired during last nights episode of Conan and has comedian Billy Eichner taking his Madonna obsession to the streets and hilariously discussing (or screaming) his love for the halftime show performer with anyone who wasnt scared away by his camera and microphone. Check it out below.
You can see more of Eichners street interviews at Funny or Die, including this one, which has him challenging Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live) to name twenty white people in thirty seconds. The two of them together are really funny...

Man nearly loses job after lightning strikes home
DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (WXYZ) - Lighting strikes a home in Metro Detroit, starting a fire and displacing a family of five. On top of all that, nature almost cost the family their livelihood--until 7 Action News started looking for answers.
"It was like blue, a bright, bluish flash." recalls Brandy Ruch, who was asleep when lightning struck her home Wednesday morning, "I was just like, 'What the heck was that?' Shook the whole house, the kids jumped, went running, dogs went off."
"My house caught on fire." said Jake Ruch, "My sister's bedroom was blazing when I came out."
"They were my kids rooms [where the fire started]," said Brandy, "My daughter lost everything, my son lost everything."
And as if the flames weren't enough, Will Ruch got some heat for trying to call in to work.
"I've been working, just started Monday through a temp service." said Will Ruch, "And I called them and said my house was on fire. And then they sent me a text message saying I didn't have a job no more."
The text from Sentech told Will he couldn't return unless he heard from them. Will says Sentech told him this was a decision from the company using the temp agency's workers. So 7 Action News paid a visit to Die Services International.
A company spokesman, who wouldn't identify himself, told 7 Action News Die Services would never terminate a worker under those circumstances, and referred us to Sentech. When we pushed the temp agency for clarification, it seemed Sentech changed its tune.
"[Will Ruch] has taken time off to address his personal situation. He is welcome to return as soon as he can get back to work." said Christine Jermont with Sentech Services, "Yes, it sounds like it was a complete misunderstanding."
The Ruch's aren't allowed to go back into their home yet. They're waiting for firefighters to give them the okay. For now, they're be staying with family.

Commerce CISO: Cybersecurity is about more than technology
With the goal of building a cadre of highly-skilled cyber security experts, the Commerce Department tripled role-based training completion in three years and implemented an award-winning personally-identifiable information training program department wide.
"IT security training is a real big, big push for us at the department," said Commerce Department Chief Information Security Officer Rod Turk during a May 20 panel discussion at ACT-IAC's Management of Change Conference in Cambridge, Md.
But ensuring cybersecurity at the department depends on more than just technology, he said.
"Technology doesn't always carry the day when you need to present a program to a set of executives in a federated organization," said Turk.
Department CISOs and the teams that support them have to coordinate with an array of stakeholders.
"I need people who can understand budgets. I need people who can understand human resources. I need people who can write business cases. I need people who can communicate," said Turk.
"Now, notice I didn't say technologists. That's important, too, but in order to get the programs in place to be able to move security forward, I have to have a diverse group of people to be able to present that forward," he added.
Looking beyond granular technology implementations and seeing the larger security environment is important, said Turk. In federated organizations, such as the Commerce Department, collaboration plays a major role in ensuring security, he said.
The ability to share information and understand what's happening across the enterprise is key, said Turk. In Fiscal 2014 the department plans to stand up a department wide cybersecurity situational awareness system called the Enterprise Security Operations Center.
"We want to be able to take the status feeds and provide a dashboard presentation for Simon [Skykman, Commerce CIO], so he can see what devices are covered, what devices have secure baselines, what the patch level is for example, throughout the enterprise," said Turk.
"We can then provide that near-realtime view to Simon and the other CIOs within our federated organization. So, they can see what their security posture is," he added.

This is a formula infused with the intentino to move through a crazy world in a calm, clear, meditative manner. It is geared towards lower stress through rebuilding the adrenals, calming the mind, nourishing the nerves, and relaxing the body. It strengthens short term memory, blood circulation to the brain, focus and retention of information. While it is calming, it also nourishes the vital reserves of chi, thus giving more energy- though not in a stimulated sense (like coffee). Energetically, Calm Clarity lifts the mood, brings more light into the auric field, and cleanses negative imprints and intrusions from the etheric body. Best used for 3 months at a time, then given a 1 month rest to allow the body/mind to integrate. Works well with Stressed to Blessed, Sleep Symmetry (which can be used for anxiety, nervousness and tension), Mental Symmetry (for super brain power!!), or Meditation (for spiritual evolution).

PricewaterhouseCoopers is one of the largest employers in the world for MBAs and consistently rates as an "employer of choice" among business graduates, but tighter competition for MBA talent inspired it to redesign its recruiting strategy this year and boost its salary offers. After several years of a down market, MBA hiring is back.
PricewaterhouseCoopers hit 15 business schools nationwide in 2005 with a full recruiting team, including alumni and partners who can talk to candidates in detail about the firm. The company has shaped its message around the idea that it is a "different destination" for MBAs.
"We emphasize that they will be working with the CEOs and CFOs of our client companies right away," says Amy Van Kirk, national campus recruiting leader. "It's more important than ever that we deliver the right message because of the heightened competition for candidates."
In a 2005 survey conducted by the MBA Career Services Council, two-thirds of the MBA schools reported an increase over 2004 in the number of companies recruiting on campus. According to survey data from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), only 30 percent of MBA recruiters reported that the economy is weak and constraining their recruiting plans, well down from 69 percent in 2001.
Hiring newly minted MBAs is a cyclical event, with companies recruiting direct-from-industry candidates during a down economy and adding in new graduates when conditions improve. But the 2005 surge in MBA hiring may go beyond the normal cyclical flow. In recent months, Jackie Wilber, director of MBA career development at MIT's Sloan School of Management, has seen a quantitative and a qualitative change in recruiting.
"The rate of change in business is accelerating and business competition is higher, so there is more pressure to recruit the best possible candidates," Wilbur says. "This goes well beyond the pressures created by a good economy. Companies are moving the bar higher."
Metrics for the Newly Minted
Recruiting new MBAs is still a campus event, with 82 percent of the companies using campus recruiting to meet candidates with MBAs this year, according to the GMAC survey, which reports responses from 1,691 corporate recruiters. More than 70 percent of Sloan's new MBAs are recruited through school-facilitated activities, and almost 40 percent are recruited on campus. At the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, more than 60 percent are recruited on campus.
Recruiters visited an average of 3.2 campuses to fill their MBA positions in 2005, up from an average of 2.6 campuses in 2004, according to GMAC. The largest companies hit an average of 12 schools. Average recruiting costs per new MBA hire are $12,073 this year. Half of the companies recruiting new MBAs are hiring for entry-level positions, 63 percent are recruiting for midlevel positions, 12 percent for senior-level positions and only 5 percent for executive positions.
The average starting salary for MBA graduates for 2005 is $78,040, with total cash compensation averaging $96,657, according to GMAC. At Sloan, the highest annual base salary offer for 2005 was $240,000. At Wharton, private equity firms recruited 2005 MBAs with base salary offers ranging up to $330,000. Median total compensation for Wharton grads was significantly more than $100,000 in most industries.
Seventy percent of Sloan's class of 2005 received signing bonuses that averaged $18,000. The use of signing bonuses is driven by the industry and the company, not by the individual candidate, Wilber says. For PricewaterhouseCoopers, signing bonuses are a standard part of the deal.
Although PricewaterhouseCoopers and other companies found it necessary to boost starting offers this year, salaries for new MBAs dropped 10 percent to 15 percent during the 2001-2003 recession and slowdown and are still recovering from that decline. Still, base salary offers combined with annual bonuses, benefits and signing bonuses plus recruiting costs translate into a hefty price tag for talent.
Recruiting in the Stratosphere
Despite the large sums on the table, the top MBA candidates aren't looking for money. Sloan's MBA candidates uniformly put salary dead last when they list their most important factors in considering a job offer. "Students have an expectation that they will be compensated fairly, so salary is simply not a factor," Wilber explains. "As long as the compensation package is in the ballpark, students look at other factors."
It's highly likely that the offers will be in the ballpark. MBA recruiters don't work in a perfect labor market, but students and recruiters both have access to extensive information on the salaries commanded by MBAs at top schools. "All the top companies that are recruiting MBAs are fairly consistent with their salary offers," Van Kirk notes.
Job content is the key factor in attracting MBAs, Van Kirk says. "Candidates are looking or a wide range of opportunities. And they want direct exposure to top people." The Sloan candidates rank job content first, followed by job function, industry, corporate culture and growth potential.
Recruiting from the top of the MBA heap is a rarefied activity. The top recruiter at Sloan for the past decade is McKinsey, which scoops up an average of 30 Sloan MBAs each year, according to Wilber. But IBM, Boston Consulting Group, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Pfizer and other top companies appear on the campus each year. This year, Apple recruited at Sloan and drew considerable interest because of its innovative new products.
"The recruiters who do well are those who take the time to craft a message that resonates with students," Wilber says. "The message expresses growth potential, challenging work and an environment where other smart, ambitious people work."
Although the message is important, the process may be more critical. "The most successful recruiters treat students as individuals, and their communications are consistent and timely," Wilber reports. "They eliminate ambiguity. If they say they will call you tomorrow, they call you tomorrow. Recruiters fail when there is an absence of information and follow-up."
While recruiters deliver lucrative jobs to the business schools, the schools provide a huge service through their long-term, detailed screening process. From the day a candidate applies for admission to the program right through to graduation, the top MBA schools conduct ongoing screening and evaluation, with information passed on to recruiters.
In the GMAC survey, employers reported that the highest proficiency they seek is in "ethical conduct," but ethics is not part of the active conversation between recruiters and candidates at Sloan, according to Wilber. "Ethical conduct is assumed," she says. "It's also assumed that we have screened for intellectual capacity in our admissions process and in the program. Recruiters rely on us for this."
Direct From Industry
Recruiters looking for MBAs already in the workforce face a more circuitous path. Some begin with niche job boards such as TheLadders.com, the New York City-based online job board for positions paying $100,000 or more. Seven thousand recruiters routinely troll the site for MBAs. More than 35 percent of the candidates available through the site have an MBA, and the vast majority have one to 15 years of experience as well. On December 17, the site will go live with a searchable database of more than half a million candidates in the $100,000-plus market.
"The recruiters using the site are roughly half corporate recruiters and half executive search firms, which is an accurate reflection of how companies hire candidates into $100,000-plus positions," CEO Marc Cenedella says. "Once companies move into that salary range, they know they can't use an entry-level HR coordinator to handle the hiring. They need a senior professional, either an in-house vice president of HR or vice president of staffing, or an out-of-house executive search consultant."
On TheLadders.com, recruiters look for credentials that back up the experience, but they are most interested in what the candidate has been doing for the past three to five years. "The MBA is the icing on the cake," Cenedella says. "There are few jobs that actually require a MBA outside of the realm of McKinsey and Goldman, but there are many where the company's experience indicates that candidates with MBA skills may be the best fit."
TheLadders.com uses strong messaging to weed out unsuitable candidates. It also tests a core sample of 100 résumés a week. "About 85 percent are right on target; 10 percent are $100,000 people, but there is an unrealistic expectation in their job goals; and 5 percent are garbage," Cenedella says. "On a big, broad job board, if 10 percent of your résumés are good, you're ecstatic. One recruiter who put a vice president position on Monster received 2,600 résumés and summarily threw half in the trash. On TheLadders.com, a typical job receives 15 applications."
With the market for MBAs decidedly tighter than it was even a year ago, recruiters have a harder job and are likely to see tougher recruiting conditions well into 2006. Current unemployment rates for management, business and financial operations employees stood at a slim 2 percent in October 2005, down from 3.3 percent in January 2003, when the economic downturn touched off a freeze on management hiring, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
With markets this tight and starting salaries so high, companies may increasingly turn to developing MBA talent within the organization through reimbursement and sponsorship programs. According to GMAC, 38 percent of companies reimburse or sponsor employees for full-time MBA programs, 63 percent support employees for part-time MBA programs, and 53 percent provide support for executive MBA programs. If you can't buy MBAs, you can still make them.

American Idol Tissue Gate Erupts Between Jordin Sparks & Lakisha Jones
April 26, 2007 11:49 PM by Joe Blackmon
The American Idol cameras see all, and the contestants and judges have
to be aware that their every action can be interpreted in a million
different ways. Last week, a badly timed eye roll by Simon Cowell had
fans and media screaming that he had disrespected the victims of the
Virginia Tech tragedy. It turned out that Simon Cowell was innocent
and had not heard Chris Richardson expressing his sympathies to the
Virginia Tech victims and instead was rolling his eyes at Richardson's
claim that he was singing nasally on purpose.
On the Idol Gives Back special, Jordin Sparks became the latest Idol star to become embroiled in controversy over the way something looked on camera. After Ryan Seacrest told Jordin that she was safe after fooling her into thinking she had been voted off, Jordin broke down into tears of relief.
As the tears streamed down Jordin's face, Lakisha Jones reached over with a tissue and attempted to wipe the tears away. On camera, it appeared as if Jordin Sparks then rudely yanked the tissue out of Lakisha's hand. In emails to Reality TV Magazine and on the American Idol message board, some viewers have been making a big deal out of Jordin's apparent snatching of the tissue away from Lakisha. We have dubbed this latest raging Idol controversy as "Tissue Gate."
Did Jordin rudely yank the tissue from Lakisha? Or did Jordin's hand jerk by accident when she was taking the tissue and suddenly realized she was on camera? Or was Jordin just being playful when she grabbed the tissue? Hopefully, American Idol producers have a different camera angle or some audio of the incident that might clear Jordin Sparks from being a tissue snatcher. Maybe, audio will reveal Lakisha saying "Oh god, this tissue is stuck to my hand, please get it off." Then, Jordin saying "It's really stuck. I'm going to have to give it a pretty good tug."

i think the bigger "scandal/controversy" was making poor Jordin think she was booted off in the first place. All of their emotions already must be going crazy on Wednesday nights and then they pull something like that. That's a hell of a way to get ratings.

Oy vey!! People can make something out of anything!! Jordin obviously was just being playful when she grabbed the tissue. She wasn't even really crying. They all KNEW that there was going to be no elimination this week. Couldn't you tell from the big grin on Jordin's face? Those weren't real tears. When they had that big group hug, they were squirting artificial tears into her eyes! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Jordin was the best during the performance night but after that, Seacrest said there'll be a shocker during the results night. In my opinion, the contestants knew that no one is going home. But of course, Jordin was reacting to what the people reaction in disbelief. Mabe she just cried because the people liked her very much. Years of joy, perhaps.
cobbi Says:

What petty controversaries!! The real problem with the show was it tried to bore US to tears!! Jordin shouldnt bare the responsibility for a shamelessly sappy show. A seemingly endless plea for our Money/Votes was so contrived and painful to watch.
We must never let a show like this happen again.
Stick with a singing contest.
angelia Says:
April 27th, 2007 at 8:00 am
If its aim was to bore the viewers to tears, Idol succeeded admirably in its goal. About Jordin, I have a sneaking suspicion that the whole "surprise elimination" was scripted and Jordin was shedding big fat old crocodile tears. Perhaps its aim was to stir up votes for Jordin since she seems to have emerged as the chosen one.

okay America, no one wants to comment on the tissue snashing. If that was SanJaya that had done that you guys would had a lot to say. I saw it and I said hell she snash the tissue from Lakisha. Jordan was angry when she should have been happy. I knew before Ryan made the announcement that no one was going home. He said the big suprise ever that when I put it together. Their was no way he could have know what was going to happen befor the vote had even start pouring in. He made that anouncement that Tuesday night. The world should have caught that. I have just change the way I feel about Jodan. I hope the media do not try to cover it up.It was what it was. Just down right rude. So americna talk about that.

That is so stupid. I really do not think Jordin would be mad at Lakisha. Her and Lakisha seem like really good friends. Remember, the first night when the girls sang and Lakisha sang And I am telling you, Jordin was the first one to talk to her to talk to her.
Mike Says:
April 27th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
I don't think she did it on purpose, maybe she was nervous or something.
I also think the whole thing was staged because all of the idols looked surprisingly happy and relieved even when Ryan was about to announce who is safe and who isn't. When Ryan said Chris was safe, Jordin didn't look worry at all. She actually looked happy as if nothing happened. Even after Ryan said she was safe, she still looked fine, but then she turned around and that's when she started "crying". If everything was staged, well I don't really see it as a bad thing because maybe the producers wanted them to concentrate on that special night without any worries.
Jay Says:
April 27th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Let me explain to all you folks what happened with the tissue, since no one seems to "get it". Lakisha was reaching over and putting that tissue in Jordin's face. Jordin saw it as an intrusion of her personal space (nobody likes having their faces messed with) and snatched it away from her with a very brief, but very obvious look of irritation and annoyance. Hey, who wants their national TV face time ruined by someone shoving a sloppy wet tissue in their face? No diva worth her weight in Twinkies, that's who! Lakisha obviously never learned to keep her hands to herself. Jordin never learned to play well with other children. Or maybe she just spent too much time backstage with Celine Dion.
elyn Says:
April 27th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
Did anyone stop to think that maybe Jordin was upset and –yes–even angry for a moment at the American Idol producers for using her the way they did? Or, that maybe Jordin needed the tissue in a hurry because her nose was dripping and her mascara was running and the cameras were zoomed in on her face? I think the anti-Jordin people who started this whole controversy need to get a life.

Can we please stop with this "Jordin 's performance was the best" nonsense? She was good, she can sing better than I will ever be able to, but it wasn't THAT good. It was sharp, a little off key and pitchy. Jordin is a great singer for her age, but let's have a reality check here. There is one much better singer on Idol who has been delivering flawless performances every single episode, and her name is not Jordin. Sorry.

There's this saying that "you can't please everybody" as in the case of Jordin. Jordin being a Christian, is not there on AI to please everyone but to please God and not the narrow-minded people. So for those people who believe on Jordin, just pray for her and don't forget to vote for her. God bless to all!
Jon Says:
April 28th, 2007 at 12:27 am
Jordin is getting too full of herself because of the way the show treats her. She wasn't any good on Tuesday yet they acted like she was the best ever on Idol. She treats people like peons because that's the typical response.

Don Says:
April 28th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Well I'll tell you this much…Jordin had better watch herself before she finds herself over and out next wednesday night with either Chris, Phil, or Blake, because this kind of rudeness is not tolerated. She is not a big star yet to be demanding things and acting rude to other people, especially to Lakisha. Lakisha is a very nice girl and if Jordin was upset for whatever reason then she better check it at the door and not bring it to the work place. She may slide after this one but if she pulls something like this on this year's future American Idol winner, Ms. Melinda Doolittle, Jordin will have hell to pay!

Some people might kill me for saying this, but I think Jordin already think she is all that. She is a good singer, she is pretty enough, but you see her physical image needs some work. I'm not saying she needs to be ultra skinny, but she's 17 years old and she needs a bit of more presence. I wouldn't talk this way if Jordin was being a good role model, but after seeing how rude she was to Lakisha, then she better work that attitude.

Most people don't know but Jordin already has a pretty good history in show business..
She was one of two winners who won the Phoenix Torrid search for the "Next Plus Size Model. A full-page ad for Torrid featuring Jordin ran in the December, 2006 issue of Seventeen magazine. In 2004, Sparks appeared in America's Most Talented Kids twice, winning in her first appearance. She has appeared with Alice Cooper (in his 2004 Christmas show) and has twice toured with Christian contemporary singer Michael W. Smith. n 2003, at the age of thirteen, Sparks recorded a five-song album titled For Now, working with Matthew Ward, a legendary Christian music artist, and Gary Leach, an engineer who has worked on several of Leann Rimes' albums. She appeared in a compilation album titled Live at Mr. Lucky's in 2004. She has also done some acting. She has a second album in development but has been put on hold due to her time on American Idol, and if she wins, it will be dropped since she will be signed to a major label Her father is a former NFL football player for the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. Her Aunt is a famous Model and actress "Shari" http://www.shariwiedmann.com
A list of awards and honors that Jordin Sparks has received on course of her career.
* Coca Cola Rising Star 2002
* Family Night Talent Show Five-time 1st Place Finals Winner at Mr. Lucky's in Glendale, Arizona, 2003

Not only did she grab the tissue away, she then sat with her back turned away from LaKisha. Rude! She is a snot who thinks she has already won. As a professional singer, I can tell you that she has many bad habits and if she doesn't quit popping her chords she will have no voice, just an unpleasant rasp. Everything starts with support and she doesn't even do that.
The power and impressive fluid flexibility of LaKisha's voice trumps any other singer on the stage.
Anonymous Says:
April 29th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Her parents are famous so she doesn't need Idol to be famous. She can even have a bad behavior, but she will still make money because of her parents. And keep in mind she is also 17 so she's like a daddy's little rich girl who can get whatever she wants with a tantrum. She may have the voice, but she needs to be more mature or she is going to start losing fans.
Lance Says:
April 30th, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Since we've seen recent reports about Jordin's past support of Right to Life events and causes, maybe she doesn't get along with LaKisha who's gone on record about a woman's right to choose. It's a shame that such differences would manifest on camera.

Three people have been injured in violent incidents in Melbourne overnight.
A 27-year-old man is in a serious condition in the Royal Melbourne Hospital after being assaulted with a hammer by three men at the corner of Epson and Smithfield Road in Kensington around 3.30am. His companion was also punched. The three attackers fled on foot and the injured man was taken to hospital for treatment.
In another incident, a man was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital after being stabbed twice in the chest in the city's west.
The 19-year-old was at a birthday party in Akoona Way in Wyndham Vale when he was attacked by a group of five men who had come looking for him around 11.05pm.
He was punched and stabbed, also receiving cuts to his forearm and above his eye. The victim chased his attackers for a short distance before realising he had been stabbed.
He is in a stable condition in hospital.
Around the same time, a 38-year-old man had his ear sliced with a machete in suburban Braybrook.
About 70 people were at a fundraising event at a sporting club when a group of six to 10 people arrived.
An argument broke out and people from the sporting club went back inside to get away from the group, the police spokesman said.
''As one of the people from the fundraising event was closing the door to the club, one person from the other group ran at him and cut him on the ear with what was described as a machete,'' he said.
The injured man was taken to Footscray Hospital where he received stitches.
The spokesman said police were looking for a group described as Asian in appearance.
The incidents follow two other knife attacks in Melbourne this weekend, with a 27-year-old man slashed across the face when he tried to prevent gatecrashers from entering a 16th birthday party and an 18-year-old stabbed in the back after a dispute at a fast food restaurant.
On Tuesday, the state government announced a one-month weapons amnesty, a blitz on retailers selling prohibited weapons and an advertising campaign.
Anyone with information on any of these incidents is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or contact the website at www.crimestoppers.com.au.

UC San DIego developing $125 million cancer treatment center
SAN DIEGO - UC San Diego is working to develop a $125 million proton-and particle-therapy cancer treatment center, university officials announced Wednesday.
Proton and particle therapy, now available at only a few clinics nationwide, enables doctors to better target and destroy cancerous tumors, according to UCSD. Traditional radiation therapy, which is not as precise, sometimes damages or destroys healthy tissue surrounding tumors.
Faculty members at UCSD's Rebecca and John Moores Cancer Center are developing models for a proton cancer treatment and research center.
"I am thrilled that we have taken the first steps toward building a proton treatment center here at UC San Diego," said Dr. Arno J. Mundt, professor and chair of the UCSD Department of Radiation Oncology.
"Protons and other particles are important tools in the treatment of cancer, and the development of such a center would place UCSD alongside other major cancer centers that have built proton centers, including M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and Massachusetts General Hospital," he said.
According to UCSD, proton therapy is especially useful in treating cancers of the eye, brain, head, neck, lung and prostate.
The proposed center, which would cost about $125 million, likely would be built next to UCSD Medical Center-La Jolla and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center.
UCSD officials said they hope to develop and submit initial plans for the project to the Regents of the University of California for preliminary consideration over the next several months.
To build the treatment center - envisioned as a facility capable of treating 1,500 people per year - the university would seek a private-sector partner. CNS-09-12-2007 11:07

Kenyon AppliancesKenyon Best Sellers | Kenyon Series
Kenyon has taken a long road to reach its current position of leadership in the home grill and cooktop industry. Founded in 1931, Kenyon began as a manufacturer aviation and machine instruments -- a far cry from their famous grills! As they progressed in their business, they introduced a ceramic glass cooktop for marine settings, which in turn became a sought-after standard for private yachts. As the popularity of this cooktop grew, consumers -- who adored its even cooking -- demanded a version to use when they weren't floating on the water miles from shore. So Kenyon moved from marine instrumentation and supply to home cooking, and a tradition was born. Today, Kenyon is North America's largest single manufacturer of ceramic glass cooktops and stainless steel electric grills, a position it maintains by consistently producing the finest products in both categories on the market. With a tradition of reliable quality and a legacy of innovation, every Kenyon product is seated firmly at the very top of its class. Both portable and built-in grills and cooktops provide you with the utmost versatility and flexibility to design the best home or outdoor cooking space so that you can put together exactly the configuration that suits you best. Kenyon doesn't just cook -- Kenyon gets out of the way so you can cook.
Every Kenyon grill and cooktop is manufactured to the highest standards for quality, reliability, and safety. That's why Kenyon is name that's been trusted for over eighty years as the height of grilling excellence, whether you're on the high seas or just at home.

Staff Report
Published Feb. 3, 2014
Three tenants have leased more than 8,000 square feet of retail space at Columbiana Station, a strip center in the Harbison Boulevard retail district.
One of the tenants, S.C. Blue, which is operated by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, opened a 2,293-square-foot storefront site in December.
Two other tenants, Bikram Yoga Studio and Pure Barre, are expected to open their locations later in the first quarter, according to Colliers International, a commercial real estate firm.
J.P. Scurry, a vice president of Colliers, and Scottie Smith, a brokerage associate, represented the tenants in brokering leases.

Elk Lake adopts budget
Elk Lake School Board approved the district's 2011-12 $17.4 million budget at its Thursday, June 23, meeting.
The operating budget for the upcoming year is about $1/2 million less than this year's budget.
With a district that draws students from two counties, the board also set the tax rates – with no increase – for both Susquehanna and Wyoming counties.
In Susquehanna County, property owners will be assessed at 35.83 mills.
In Wyoming County, the millage rate is 44.250.
District property owners and residents approved to receive the homestead/ farmstead exclusion will also see a reduction of just over $160 off their tax bills – nearly the same amount as in 2010.
The board also approved expenditures, as recommended by architect John Kropcho for the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center expansion project.
Of the funds approved by the board $255,000 is to go to the project's general contractor and about $9,000 was needed for concrete inspection services.
The district also plans to extend the road at the current parking lot beside the elementary school.
The drive will go down to the gas road, said Superintendent Bill Bush, and around the pavilion.
He said the plan would make it so buses would not have to turn around and cars and vans dropping off students won't be going back out in front of the buses.
The district is advertising for bids for that paving project.
The board expects the project to be completed after Labor Day.
The board also approved a $46,800 payment to fix a water leak into the underground fuel tank at the elementary school.
Bush said the sump on the top of the tank had shifted and water seeped into the tank.
"The tank is okay," he said.
Bush noted the district wanted to prevent water from getting into the tank again.
The superintendent said the project needs to be done as quickly as possible. He made clear the problem was water getting into the fuel; not fuel in the water.
"It's a simple but serious thing," Bush said.
Money for the project will come from the school's capital reserve account.
The board received a petition to name the pavilion after softball coach Tony Blaisure.
A letter was also received from local senior centers asking for the board's continuing support for allowing students in the Life Skills class to come to the senior centers.
The board hired Tom Koch as a chemistry/middle school math teacher.
Sandra Carr was hired for the position of business office secretary.
The board also made its annual appointments of various professional services.
The bond for the board treasurer was approved for $50,000.
Murphy & Dougherty were named auditors.
Sweet, Stevens, Katz & Williams LLP were named as the solicitors for the district.
The board approved 15 appointments to coaching and adviser positions; and 10 coaches/advisers were on the docket to receive extended season pay.
The student handbook was approved and will now be included in the student planner.
Prior to the start of the business meeting, the board heard a proposal from Hates Large, an architectural firm from the Harrisburg area.
Representatives from the group described the services the company offers and asked the district consider them for any future projects – large or small – in the schools.

Landlord group refiles lawsuit against Pittston
Association calls them excessive,
"an illegal tax."
A group fighting rental inspection ordinances throughout the region has taken the first steps toward filing a complaint against the city of Pittston.
Members of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Landlord Tenant Association refiled a civil lawsuit on Tuesday requesting information about the fees associated with the rental ordinance and the city's "three strike ordinance."
Association member Bob Bejeski Jr. said the civil suit asks city officials to respond to about 50 questions regarding the ordinance.
"Based on the facts we get, it will help to formulate our complaint," Mr. Bejeski said. "We are expecting an official complaint will be filed in August."
Pittston's rental inspection ordinance, passed in July, calls for fire and safety inspections of rental properties by the city every two years. Property owners are charged an annual $50 fee for each rental unit. The city revised the ordinance in October to extend the time-frame for landlords to correct any violations found during annual inspections.
Mr. Bejeski said the association takes issue with the ordinance's fees in particular.
"Their fees are way too excessive," he said. "It is going to be an illegal tax."
Mr. Bejeski said city officials have known about the suit since May 29 and have 30 days to respond with the information the suit requests. He said the association has not yet heard from the city.
Pittston City Manager Joe Moskovitz said the city will comply "with any appropriate request" for information but continues to stand behind the rental inspection ordinance.
"We were always very confident that the legislation was appropriate," Mr. Moskovitz said. "The city will do everything it can ... to defend the city's action."

The debate over who should be able to provide cable services continues with commercials and legislation.
Phone companies want easier access and cable companies want to continue with local franchise agreements.
Commercials fighting for both sides are now running and bills have been introduced in both the state House and Senate.
Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero appears in one pro cable ad, adding local communities get money from franchise agreements and if one statewide system was put in place the locals would lose.
At & T spokesman Jon Kreger says the bills provide local control and the ability to cash in.

For the same reason that women cheat on good men.
and,why do women cheat on good men ?
Why do women cheat on good men?
Same reason everyone else cheats
Because they also like bad women.
Because they are corrupted idiots who think it's a good idea to be a womanizer when they know it's wrong. They are such A$$HOLES it's depressing to see them go by so many women in one F-ing day! I mean it. They think their wife is to good that they'll forgive them or let it slide so they can do it again. I've got news for you men!!! All those women you cheat on go bad and it's all your fault. Some have turned to murders and some killed themselves. Shall I go on with more slang.
as the good woman is letting them walk over her find a good man that will not cheat on them.
I can't answer that because it isn't my personality
Yeah I just copied but what you said but yeah I'm not like that I get called sweet way too often to be like that EP Link
Because they're bored and want a sexual adventure.
They're bad men.
Not ready to settle down, immature. I'm really no sure
Because good girls don't. If they did there'd be no reason for men to cheat.
because they can and the woman doesn't kick them to the curb.
to quote the once-funny Chris Rock, "a man is as faithful as good options."
They want a biscuit to go with their steak.
"A man is only as faithful as his options."

that quote made me laugh but cheating on another isn't nice.
Obviously they are not getting what they want from that good woman, so they are looking for it else where.
Obviously in YOUR eyes he does. How ever if he were truely happy then he would not wander.
It may be something as simple as the thrill of the chase. He cannot chase after you since he already has you. So he goes looking for it just to get that thrill.
The one way to find out for sure, is to ask him. Straight out, bold, hold nothing back and ask him.
cuz they're ******
I like all the answers so far but I am hoping that someone will give some good insight to this...
Because she prolly had a good Man. N cheated. So hey Why not make it Fair

Bel Air News
Several new eateries are set to or have already opened; some old and some brand new.
LAX will soon receive
formal fare from famed chef Wolfgang Puck. Despite the name Wolfgang Puck
Express, the flair with which Puck has been known to throw down in the kitchen
should spice up dreary air travel. The restaurant's official opening is
scheduled for September 13, though they have already done a "soft opening" as
of July.
Umami Burger is set to open what will become its flagship restaurant at The Grove Monday, August 6. Seating for 185 indoor and outside of the now closed Wonderland Bakery should make this niche hamburger kitchen a contender alongside other large-scale operations in the mall like Cheesecake Factory and the two up-scale dining choices Morels French Steakhouse and Bistro and Italian La Piazza.

Op-ed: International media outlets covering Israeli-Palestinian violence in a very peculiar way
Riccardo Dugulin
Published: 03.28.13, 00:22 / Israel Opinion
Riccardo Dugulin
To many, the picture of a crying Arab father lifting his lifeless infant toward the sky will remain an image epitomizing Israeli injustice during the aggression initiated by Hamas in November 2012. The BBC reporter's photograph depicting this personal tragedy has received an enormous amount of international attention leading to an almost unconditional outcry against the rules of engagement used by the IDF during Operation Pillar of Defense.
Little has been said when a UN-mandated investigation concluded that the death of the young kid had been caused by a rocket misfired by Hamas that was originally aimed at Israeli civilian populations.
On the one hand, this victimization process hammered into international media by pro-Palestinian propagandists is mostly evident when reports are issued over Israel's policies in Judea and Samaria. Terms such as "apartheid," "discrimination" and "colonization" are used daily along with the tendency of highlighting specific aspects of defensive actions taken out of all contexts in order to perpetuate an international pressure against the Jewish state's policies.
On the other hand, little attention is paid to the violence and hatred that the Palestinians living in Gaza, Judea and Samaria express on a daily basis against Israelis. Almost no one has addressed the fact that, in mid-March, belligerent Palestinians severely wounded an Israeli toddler
by throwing stones at the car she was in, an act that anywhere else in the world would have been dubbed as criminal, to say the least.

Hi all! Been a while (I'm in a busy phase in RL - moved and finding freelance work and everything else)
Here's a quickee I just did for my FTF group - an open-air hilltop shrine that we had to find under a few feet of dirt and then excavate (all, of course, under time pressure, before the others seeking the lost knowledge could cath up).
Done as much for illustrative purposes as anything else.
Photoshop only... Maaaaybe two hours - hard to say, as it was in several little chunks.
Next time -
Start by drafting in Vectorworks (or Illustrator), so that the inlaid walkways are square to the edges and even. (Unless you all have suggestions on how to do this in PS)
Show a larger surrounding area (including our wagon / wagon tracks / camp / etc)
Make the tiles of the Shrine more defined. Would be great to make them uneven stone slabs, but I knew that it would also make placing the characters carved into each stone a laborious process, and this was meant to be a quick project from the start.

Welcome rain falls on Mt Lawn Speedway
Some much needed rain caused the cancellation of Saturday night's Founders Day 50's at the Mt Lawn Speedway Saturday night.
Qualifications got underway on time and Jason Thompson of Shirley paced the Late Models with a time of 16.851 which is the fastest time posted in 2012. VanHoy Oil Thunder Cars were headed by Wes Russell Sr. of Muncie at 18.543; Taylor Wyman of Selma was quickest in the Hornets at 19.663 while Ben VanDyke of Morristown led the Rookie Hornets at 20.493. Wes Russell Jr. of Muncie won the Late Model dash for cash, Russell Sr. picked up the dash cash in the VanHoy Oil Thunder Cars, Larry Hughes Jr. of Greensboro was the Hornet dash winner and VanDyke won the Rookie Hornet Dash. Late Model Heats went to Thompson and David McConnell of Shirley. Just as the Rookie Hornet Heat cars were coming to the track Mt Lawn officials had the grandstands cleared because of intense thunder storm with significant lighting that was approaching. Within a few minutes after the grandstands were cleared the sky let loose with a downpour causing the remainder of the show to be cancelled.
Late Models, Rookie Hornets and Street Drags will be on the racing program next Saturday night August 11 along with 50 lap features in the Thunder Car and Hornet divisions.
Rain checks will be honored this Saturday night or any other regular season program during 2012.
