Rock My World
It was just a matter of time before Bret Michaels released an album to cash in on his television success on the VH1 reality dating show Rock of Love, so it comes as no surprise that the network's record label (appropriately called VH1 Classics) gave him the opportunity to put out Rock My World, a companion album named after his catch phrase on the TV show. The title won't be the only thing familiar about Rock My World for die-hard Bret fans: of its 12 songs, three come from 2005's Freedom of Sound, and a whopping six are from 2003's Songs of Life, which leaves just three new tunes -- "Go That Far," "Fallen," "Start Again." Not that anyone outside of diehards would be able to distinguish between the old and new tunes, as Michaels pretty much sticks to alternating glammy rockers with country-ish heartbreak ballads, so they all form a consistent body of work. Plus, neither Freedom of Sound nor Songs of Life received much attention, so this is an effective way to rescue the best moments from both and introduce them to a broader audience. And the audience that Michaels has regained via Rock of Love will find a bunch of stuff to enjoy, from the fizzy hooks of "Bittersweet" to the power ballad "Fallen," and the Rock of Love theme song "Go That Far," which is shameless in its pimping of the program. Will Rock My World appeal to anybody who isn't already a fan of Bret Michaels or the show? Oh no, but thanks to his casual charm on VH1, he has a lot more fans in 2008 than he did in 2003, when he really launched his solo career, and those new fans will find this de facto soundtrack about as much fun as they find the TV show.

Almost half these songs are on his solo release back in 2003. I heard it advertised as a new release. It may be a new release with a few new songs, not worth the full price as a new cd.

* Commodity sectors set for second year of active cyclones
* Impact on iron ore, coal price to be less pronounced
* Wheat quality risks more damage from rain
* Sugar crop recovering from last season's cyclone damage
By Rebekah Kebede and James Regan
PERTH/SYDNEY, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Australia's commodities sector is bracing for another active cyclone season, but unlike last year, prices of key exports such as iron ore, coal and sugar may show little reaction as Europe's economic turmoil and surplus crops pressure markets.
A barrage of cyclones and tropical storms during the last November-to-March "wet" season flooded collieries and halted iron ore mining while ripping apart sugar and wheat crops, driving up commodities prices around the world.
Meteorologists predict more storms than usual this season as a La Nina weather pattern again brings heavy rains.
"I don't think the market upside is going to be as dramatic as it was 12 months ago because the economic outlook across Asia is a bit more subdued than it was back then," UBS resources analyst Tom Price said, referring to prices for coal, one of Australia's top exports.
Any "upside push to prices" will likely be short-lived, he said.
Storm damage cut Australia's commodity-weighted economy's gross domestic product growth by A$20 billion, or 1.5 percent, in the 2010-2011 financial year. <^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

TABLE-Australia mining output/exports [ID:nL3E7N93CC]
Cyclones and rain last year forced dozens of companies to evacuate flooded coal mines, some of which are only now drying out, a situation that makes it more likely production could be hobbled by cyclones.[ID:nSDY1DE772]
"If you have a lot of rain in the next six weeks or so, the ground is already going to be saturated. There's not going to be much leeway for the ground to absorb much more water," Patersons analyst Andrew Harrington, said, adding it was "easy" to see how flooding in coal mines could occur again this year.
Australia is the world's largest coal exporter and since it accounts for roughly two-thirds of global trade of coking coal, used for steel production, the floods last year caused prices to skyrocket.
Contract prices for hard coking coal raced as high as $330 a tonne and averaged $289 a tonne for all of 2011. This was a 52 percent hike on the average contract price in 2010.
This year, plentiful supplies from China's Shanxi province and Mongolia coupled with a gloomy global outlook have many analysts predicting a price drop in 2012, with some forecasting average prices under $200 per tonne.
"There's not the same urgency about securing metallurgical coal supply right now," UBS's Price said.
"If industrial activity declines that means people are burning less coal. It's not just adequate supply, it's weak demand. It's a soft price outlook."
Australia's iron ore sector, sitting directly in the path of the Indian Ocean's notorious "Cyclone Alley", could also face disruptions. But with iron ore prices down 30 percent from February, the impact is unlikely to match last year's.
The spot price of the steelmaking raw material was at $133.80 a tonne .IO62-CNI=SI on Thursday, down 30 percent from a record high in February of about $192 a tonne.
The high price was primarily the result of global crude steel production at close to maximum levels over the previous six months combined with iron ore supply disruptions due to last season's heavy rainfall in Australia and in Brazil, home to the single-largest producer Vale (VALE5.SA).
Australia this year will account for about 40 percent of the 1.1 billion tonnes of iron ore traded on world markets.
Also, unlike last year, prices of steel in China, the world's biggest buyer of iron ore, have either flattened or dropped since the start of the current cyclone season.
China's steel output of 49.88 million tonnes in November was the lowest in 14 months.
Australia's producers, including heavyweights Rio Tinto (RIO.AX) (RIO.L) and BHP Billiton (BHP.AX) (BLT.L), insist they are selling all the ore they can mine into contracted sales volumes, meaning there is no margin for supply interruptions. This suggests any sizeable delays to shipping could provide an upside push to prices.
"That's more likely if the disruptions last a long time, which they typically don't," said an executive with a mining company who asked not to be named.
"Usually operations are up and running within a few days of the storm passing and the reopening of the ports," he said.
Unseasonably wet weather has already pelted Australia's wheat crop and an abundance of the rain-soaked grain is set to dampen U.S. and South American corn prices in 2012, as key corn importers switch to the cheaper, damaged wheat for animal feed.
"The biggest problems we've got are north west New South Wales and South Queensland which are already under-harvested," Jonathan Barratt, managing director of Commodity Broking Services, said, estimating about 50 percent of the crop was yet to be harvested in the eastern regions.
"If we see more cyclone activity and more rain that will apply more pressure on the farms to get their harvest in."
The harvest typically occurs in December or January but can run as late as March during wetter seasons.
Chicago corn Cc1 and wheat futures Wc1 recently fell to multi-month lows after the U.S. Agriculture Department boosted global and U.S. stock estimates. Heavy rains and strong winds could also threaten Australia's sugar crop. Australia sells most of its sugar in Asia.
The country's canefields were devastated in February after Cyclone Yasi tore through Queensland state, which accounts for 90 percent of Australia's exports. ICE raw sugar futures SBc1 hit a 30-year top at 36.08 cents per lb soon after, though prices have nearly halved and are trading at a 6-1/2 month low.
This time, however, a swelling global sugar surplus should help negate any new hit to Australia's output.
Australian sugar exports are forecast to increase by 7 percent in 2011-12 to 2.8 million tonnes in line with a rise in production from canefields recovering from cyclone damage, the government's commodities forecaster said.[ID:nL3E7ND4CK]
India is forecast to export around 3.5 million tonnes of sugar in 2011-12 after being a large net importer of sugar, while a bumper harvest in the Russian Federation means Russian sugar imports will decline sharply.

Peak years for MCHL are late teens and mid-thirties. Most cases show Epstein-Barr virus in the neoplastic cells. The normal nodal architecture is effaced by a diffuse infiltrate of classic Reed-Sternberg cells mixed with the non-neoplastic cellular background of small lymphocytes, eosinophils, plasma cells, histiocytes, and rarely neutrophils, so characteristic of Hodgkin lymphoma. The RS cells are more frequent in MCHL than lacunar cells in NSHL. Note that the stroma is increased (the amorphous pink background supporting the cells), but does not form collagen bands as in NSHL. The RS cell's production of cytokine TGF-b is thought to contribute to the stromal increase, including the collagen formation in NSHL.

Neutrogena Foot Cream Reviews
What a deal!This stuff is very concentrated so a small amount is all I need. The price is hard to beat, and most importantly it keeps my heels softer. Tip: best item to bring to a ski trip. — 9 years, 2 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews
Medicinal Petroleum JellySmells great? I am pretty sensitive to smells and this smelled medicinal to me. I will use it till it's gone but I will not repurchase it for the smell alone. And the cap is not a flip top which is extremely inconvenient for me. The product itself was decent. The texture was a little odd, being petroleum jelly like but the result was soft heels. The product would be great for walking barefoot at the pool on concrete. — 4 years, 3 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

Foot creamThis product smells great and it keep my feet soft all day ! — 5 years, 11 months agomsroz | 2 reviews
Makes feet summer ready.This cream made my slightly cracked heal soft looking again and I am now confident enough to wear my sandals. I use the sesame body oil from Neutrogena and although I love that oil it doesn't do a lot for my feet or hands. So I also have the hand cream in this version and am good to go. It moisturizes for a long time and I only use a little but so it is worth every penny I spend on it. The only do...read morewn side is the smell that comes with this foot cream, it is a bit huh..medicinal? Oh well the results are worth it and I my feet are far away from my face:). — 7 years, 2 months agofreewilly | 66 reviews
No More Dry Feet!I bought this cream after reading good things about it in several places. In the winter my feet get so freakin dry and I haven't found anything that really moisturizes them until I found this. I love this cream and it really does moisturize your feet. I will continue to use this for as long as I need to. — 7 years, 10 months agoRobynLe | 98 reviews
Searched high and low, now it's the favorite stocking stuffer each yearI am picky about my feet and the products that I put on them. I was thrilled when I came across this miracle worker. It keeps my feet moisturized all day long without it being waxy or slippery. I rarely have to remove dry,rough spots even though I prefer to go without shoes or socks and do a lot of physical activities that used to cause callouses. — 8 years, 9 months agorosepritch | 4 reviews

Use on your hands as well/Better than everything else for dry handsThis stuff is pretty good - really... especially for dry rough hands as well - works much better than the usual stuff for rough/dry hands.

To celebrate National Lasagna Day, Buca di Beppo is offering free lunch-sized lasagna with the purchase of any pasta dish July 29.
Buca di Beppo lasagna is famous for its nine towering layers of lasagna noodles stuffed with homemade meat sauce and a combination of ricotta, mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheeses.
"As soon as they see it the guests' mouths drop open," said Michael Miyahara, director of culinary operations for the restaurant. "It's a 'wow' kind of dish."
Buca, located at 7111 W. Ray Road in Chandler, recently introduced 10 new menu items that include chicken parmigiana, chianti braised short ribs and penne San Remo, just to name a few.
Miyahara said the baked rigatoni is probably their best seller right now. It's rigatoni pasta with spicy Italian sausage, shredded mozzarella and a mixture of ricotta cheese, baked in the oven until the cheese is gooey.
"If you stand in the kitchen you see one going out every couple minutes," Miyahara said.
In addition, Buca di Beppo offers a variety of budget friendly pastas and entrées, including spaghetti with meatballs, fettuccine alfredo and chicken marsala.
Miyahara has been with the restaurant for 13 years, and said he opened the Scottsdale restaurant. Now he travels around the country to different restaurants to ensure quality and customer satisfaction.
"I like to get into the dining room and talk to the guests and they'll tell you what they like and what they don't like. Then we'll go back and reformulate it and make sure it's something people love," Miyahara said.

Urban young Indians are enrolling for Sanskrit classes in large numbers and the trend is increasing every year. Young Indians who are enrolling for the short-term Sanskrit courses conducted by various organizations include IT professionals, engineers, doctors, MBAs, civil servants, graduates and postgraduates. Some are attracted by Sanskrit's highly logical grammatical structure, which will help them in other their career. Many also take to Sanskrit because it is a high scoring subject in CBSE and UPSC.
Rachna Bisht-Rawat writes in Outlook
about this new found interest in the classical language India
As many as 30,000 people have enrolled for countrywide classes that are starting this July under the aegis of the Gita Shiksha Kendra, to help people know the Gita better, through Sanskrit. And 60 per cent of these are in the 18-28 age group. At the Delhi Samvadshala, students from 37 countries come down in winters to learn spoken Sanskrit. And in 2008, 2,000 Delhiites enrolled for spoken Sanskrit crash courses that were held across the city. Again, 60 per cent were in the 18 to 28 age group.
"Yes, we're going back to our roots," smiles Krishna Shastry, who, along with a group of like-minded people, started the Sanskrita Sambhashanam (Speak Sanskrit) movement in 1981. Just seven students joined the first course, held in Jayanagar,
. Obviously, a few stereotypes had to be broken. "Over the years, Sanskrit has been considered difficult, boring and irrelevant in a modern world. So we started with evolving a new, more interesting style of teaching," he says. Bangalore
In the 2001 census, a mere 48,400 people have listed Sanskrit as their mother tongue. But by the time the next census is completed, the numbers may well have doubled or trebled.

That was entirely beautiful with one exception: it has only TWO chapters. With all due respect to the muses and whatever it is that keeps you writing, two chapters is not nearly enough to satisfy my reading urges ;)
Well done and I will continue to your profile straight away to check out the rest of your stories.
One small suggestion,though. Feel free to accept it or toss it down the drain: I would refrain from qualifying verbs like "to see" or "to tell" with adverbs. I can't tell you why, and maybe it's just me, but reading "told her happily" etc feels like adding "very" to adjectives - lazy. He was very tired should be exhausted! Anyway, I am rambling. Bottom line: no qualifiers.
Keep up the good work!

Ruben Alcantara's style never stops developing, and as he continues to progress he has been blending his love of surfing into his riding over the last few years. You can't surf without a wave, so Ruben helped make his own. Click here for an interview and some of George Marshall's amazing large format photos and check the video below.
"Late last year BMX legend Ruben Alcantara put the finishing touches on a new concrete bowl in his hometown of Malaga, Spain. Aside the countless skateparks Ruben has ridden over his long career, Ruben also drew inspiration from a love of surfing and skateboarding to create his design. Here's a short documentary film about Ruben and his bowl in Malaga, filmed and edited by Will Evans."

Cop Tells College Grad 'You're Lucky I Didn't F-ing Shoot You' After Raiding Wrong House
Man held at gunpoint in handcuffs on his own front lawn
Adan Salazar
December 23, 2013
Connor Guerrero didn't exactly get an apology after police erroneously raided his home last week and handcuffed him on his front lawn.
Instead, Guerrero says a Spokane County Sheriff's deputy told him he should be grateful he wasn't killed.
Guerrero, a recent college graduate, says he was enjoying a nice Wednesday evening at home when he heard someone outside.
"Just trying to enjoy my evening. All the sudden, I see a flashlight shining through my doors…," Guerrero said. "I'm thinking this could be a dangerous situation for me."
Assuming he was the target of a robbery, Guerrero went to his door to ward off the potential thieves. That's when things got out of control.
"I come over to my door and I slap it to say hey someone is in this house and they're not going to let you come in here… Right as soon as I opened this door, and it's dark outside – it's very dark and all I can see is a pistol," Guerrero recalled.

The total value of UK investment funds was £468bn in December, a rise of just 1% on November, said the Investment Management Association (IMA).
Gross investment sales fell to £8.4bn, but investors withdrew more than they paid in, leaving the monthly net sales total negative at minus £858m.
The IMA says the continuing credit crunch is damaging investors' trust.
December was the second consecutive month when more money was withdrawn than invested.
In contrast positive net sales of £1.7bn were recorded in December 2006.
The IMA figures showed that sales of tax-free share Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) also dropped in December. They were at £491m, 20% less than the figure for November.
When the amount of money withdrawn from ISAs in the month was taken into account, the overall increase was only £17m.
The number of share ISAs held by investors also fell to 8.12 million in December, down from 8.21 million the previous month.
"The first 10 months of 2007 saw a continuation of the strong performance of the previous year," said IMA chief executive Richard Saunders.
"In November and December however, as the impact of the credit crunch began to be felt, investors significantly re-evaluated their portfolios and the industry experienced its first overall retail outflows in 15 years.
"The year as a whole was satisfactory for the industry, but the prospect is clearly more uncertain going in to 2008," he added.
'Bumper year'
Earlier this month, the Building Societies Association (BSA) said its members took in cash deposits of more than £16bn during 2007, almost double the 2006 total of £8.3bn and the highest level to date.
BSA director general Adrian Coles described 2007 as a "bumper year".
He said this was partly a result of the problems at Northern Rock but also because, given the continuing uncertainty in the financial markets, many savers were attracted to the security offered by cash deposits.
The previous record was £13.6bn, set in 1988 when savers sought safety after the stock market crash of October 1987.

It's an exciting time to be returning to work as editor here at rabble.ca. I can see already that it's going to be a challenge to keep our coverage up to the pace of bad news stories when it comes to the Harper government and the environment. This past week saw a flurry of announcements about cuts to Environment Canada and weakening of the crucial environmental review process for major industrial projects.
To add insult to injury (or farce to tragedy), there was the mind-boggling news that the government was doing away with the BC-based oil spill emergency response team; the clean-up of a massive oil spill on the Pacific coast will apparently easily be coordinated from the central offices in Quebec...
These past couple of years, I have had the chance to work with the Wilderness Committee, learning a great deal about the issues related to pipeline and oil tanker expansion plans. In a recent column on BC politics (which I do bi-weekly for The Source) I wrote about the recent news of Kinder Morgan's plans for a massive expansion of tar sands crude exports out of Vancouver Harbour.
Two years ago this month, a massive oil spill at a deep sea BP operation shocked the world. Workers were killed, and the environment and coastal communities around the Gulf of Mexico were devastated.
Despite the BP spill anniversary, the Texas-based oil and pipeline corporate giant Kinder Morgan chose this month to announce their plans for a massive expansion of their pipeline and oil tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet. Kinder Morgan wants to nearly triple the capacity of their pipeline which brings tar sands crude oil from Alberta to terminal in Burnaby.
Like the more well known Enbridge proposal in northern British Columbia, Kinder Morgan's plan is all about exports. Slated for completion in 2017 if approved, the project would mean up to 360 oil tankers a year filling up in Burnaby and navigating out the first and second narrows of the Inlet. That would mean basically one giant oil tanker a day in Vancouver's harbour.
The BP oil spill should have been a wake up call about our society's addiction to oil. And yet, here in Canada, our governments seem determined to slumber ahead, expanding the tar sands and making fossil fuel exports a key goal of diplomacy and trade policy.
The Harper government has made no secret of prioritizing the tar sands pipelines across BC – regardless of local opposition. Natural Resources minister Joe Oliver went so far as to blame foreign "billionaire socialists" for the widespread opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal.
Of course, the truth is that the billionaires and the 'foreign' interests are the ones pushing for these pipelines to be built. With both the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan projects, huge foreign oil companies – from China, the United States and beyond – are investing the billions of dollars needed to build the projects.
Kinder Morgan, for its part, was founded by two former executives of the notorious Enron corporation. Founder and CEO Richard Kinder is a billionaire, well known for raising money for the likes of George W. Bush and Rick Perry.
Aside from the foreign interests, there are big domestic interests behind these pipelines – the Big Oil companies at the heart of Stephen Harper's agenda.
In BC politics, the Kinder Morgan proposal may particularly contribute to the divisions in the right-wing between Christy Clark's BC Liberals and the upstart BC Conservatives. Clark has made shipping raw materials to China and other Asian markets a priority, so she would be very unlikely to raise any objections to the pipeline. But Kinder Morgan is already meeting opposition in the traditional conservative stronghold of the Fraser Valley, where many communities will be directly impacted by any pipeline expansion. Already anger is simmering in Abbotsford, where there was an oil spill at the Kinder Morgan tank farm earlier this year.
No doubt Kinder Morgan is confident that despite this they will be able to plough ahead. They have the wind of major investors and supportive governments at their sails.
I'm sure Kinder Morgan didn't think about the BP anniversary when announcing their big plans. But the oil spill anniversary is not the only piece of bad timing for Kinder Morgan. This Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day.
In Vancouver, a group of high school students called Youth For Climate Justice Now (Y4CJN) is organizing a big Earth Day rally and walk down Commercial Drive. And their main theme is opposition to tar sands, tankers and pipelines like those proposed by Enbridge and Kinder Morgan.
Earth Day 2012 will be just the beginning. Already, the mayors of both Burnaby and Vancouver have come out firing against Kinder Morgan's pipeline and tankers plan.
Last year, a couple thousand people joined the Earth Day action organized by Y4CJN. Given the timing, I think this year's crowd might be even bigger.
You can join the crowd this Sunday, April 22, beginning at 11am at the Commercial Skytrain Station.

Murder detectives are appealing for information after a man was stabbed and killed in Croydon.
Police were called at about 4.45pm yesterday to Cromwell Road following reports of a fight in which a group of males, one armed with a knife, were seen attacking the victim.
Man stabbed in broad daylight in Thornton Heath
Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found a man suffering stab wounds in Whitehorse Road.
He was taken to a south London hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6.42pm.
Formal identification is yet to take place, however, next of kin have been informed and officers are confident the dead man is 24-year-old Adrian Young from Croydon.
A shopkeeper, who did not want to be named, witnessed the desperate attempts of emergency services to save the man's life.
He said: "The man was saying 'I cannot see, I'm going blind'. He was shouting 'I cannot see anything'.
"Police were trying to push his heart. He was saying 'I cannot hold up' and they were saying 'talk to me, talk to me'.
"All the blood was coming out, I could see blood coming out of his heart as he was lying on the street.
"This lasted for about 30 minutes.
"There were so many police officers that were trying to push down on his chest and after that they pushed me away.
"He was turning his face around and around.
"Stabbings have happened about five or six times here."
A 67-year-old Cromwell Road resident, who did not want to be named, said: "We heard a helicopter.
"Then we came outside to be nosy. Then they cordoned off the street.
"They said someone had been hurt. It's not very nice, I think it's sad.
"It's someone's son and it's very sad. This kind of thing happens everywhere it seems these days."
And another woman, who also did not want to be named, said: "I didn't know what had happened but then one of my neighbours said they thought there had been a fight between some lads and one of them was hurt.
"The police took a couple of cars away from down the road and they had forensic people about taking pictures and they erected a tent in the middle of the road just along there.
"It is a shock to hear that he's dead. I didn't know it was that bad to be honest.
"There used to be fights in this road in the past. I have lived here a long time and it has had its moments but it's fairly quiet."
The Metropolitan Police's homicide and major crime command are now leading the investigation into the killing and they are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Inspector John McQuade said: "We believe that the stabbing took place following an altercation that had been going on in the area earlier yesterday afternoon, although we retain an open mind regarding the cause of this dispute.
"I would urge anyone who can help us to piece together events to come forward and contact police as soon as possible."
Detectives can be contacted in the incident room on 020 8721 4005 or, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
There have been no arrests.

State eyes tax protection for grasslands
By Bob Mercer
Capitol Correspondent
PIERRE — Grasslands growing on crop-rated soils would get favorable tax treatment under a plan endorsed Tuesday by the state task force on agricultural land assessments.
The proposal calls for grasslands to be valued for property taxes as though they were on non-crop soils.
Up to 4.8 million acres could be affected statewide, according to an estimate by the state Department of Revenue.
The change calls for assessors to consider actual use in determining the taxable value of a parcel of agricultural land.
Next step is consideration by the Legislature in the 2014 session that opens in January.
The idea came from rancher Lyle Perman, of Lowry. He is a task force member.
"Maybe I know best what I use my land for," Perman said. "The reason we're seeing the demise of our grasslands is economics. Many of these grasslands might never be restored."
The South Dakota Corn Growers oppose the change, while the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association supports it.
The proposal would require landowners starting July 1, 2015, to notify their county directors of equalization if cropland has been converted to non-cropland or non-cropland has been changed to cropland.
The task force is established in state law to oversee implementation of the soil- and productivity-based valuation system. The task force has a mix of legislators and citizens with interest in ag-land values.
Some legislators have searched for years for ways to encourage protection of grasslands. One such bill was brought in 2010 by now-U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem, R-Castlewood, while she was a state legislator, and then-Sen. Jim Peterson, D-Revillo.
It would have allowed grasslands that had been in place at least 10 years to be valued as non-cropland regardless of the underlying soil types.
The legislation won approval 48-21 in the House of Representatives but, according to Peterson, was scrapped in the Senate because the Department of Revenue wanted to work on a solution.
Peterson, now a member of the House, serves on the task force and voted Tuesday to endorse Perman's proposal.
"I don't know if this bill can get anywhere in the House or the Senate. But I think it deserves discussion in the taxation committee, so all parties can testify on the bill," Peterson said.
He explained that the 10-year qualifying period in the Noem bill was based on federal Conservation Reserve Program contracts that paid farmers to idle land in grass.
"We wanted the landowner to have a chance, that if he wanted to leave it in grass, it would be taxed as grass," Peterson said.

Star Jones, Angela Bassett and Yolanda Adams are also added to the line-up of stars who will be lending their support to the president's upcoming inauguration.
As Barack Obama's January 21 inauguration draws near, more stars are added to the line-up of entertainers that will be lending their support to next week's festivities in Washington D.C. Cyndi Lauper is promoting one of the unofficial balls, while alternative rock band frontman Ben Folds and gospel singer Yolanda Adams lead other celebrities in one of the key activities in the inaugural weekend.
Lauper joins the Obama inauguration bandwagon as she sends out email invitations to a sweepstakes with its prize, a trip to the inauguration with two tickets to an unofficial inaugural ball and a private concert for U.S. House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic members of Congress. The "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" singer is also asking for contributions to the Democratic Congressional Committee's fundraising efforts to recapture the House of Representatives in 2014.
Eva Longoria, Chelsea Clinton, Ben Folds, Star Jones, Angela Bassett, and Yolanda Adams, meanwhile, will be featured in the "Service Summit" at the National Mall. "Service Summit" is a good works fair that gives more than 100 community service organizations a chance to exhibit their projects and draft volunteers for the "National Day of Service" that the first family supports as a way of honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Last week, Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor were handpicked by Obama to sing at his inauguration ceremony on January 21. A couple of days after the announcement, more A-listers signed up for the event, such as Alicia Keys, Usher, Katy Perry, indie rock band Fun., the cast of "Glee", Smokey Robinson & Stevie Wonder, Marc Anthony, John Legend, and Nick Cannon.

REDLANDS - Redlands' K.K. Limbhasut has plenty of goals in golf.
He will chase his latest Monday at the CIF-Southern Section individual championships at La Purisima Golf Course in Lompoc.
Limbhasut will be one of at least 30 golfers from throughout Southern California in a field that also will include the Citrus Valley tandem of Adam
Lyons and Michael Starbuck and Arrowhead Christian's Jake Dolby.
Limbhasut qualified for Monday's finals with a second-place finish at last week's central individual regional, where he shot a 2-under 70. Limbhasut qualified for the finals as a freshman but did not play.
"It's something I have wanted since my freshman year," said Limbhasut, who skipped on postseason play last season as a sophomore to spend more time in the classroom.
As a freshman, however, Limbhasut tied for fifth at the individual regional and tied for ninth at the individual championships.
A top finish Monday will land him a spot in the regional qualifier, which leads to next month's CIF State tournament.
"This is important to him," Redlands coach Kevin Kirkland said. "He understands the importance of high school golf. He wants to be a champion." Limbhasut has played La Purisima five times, including twice in tournaments.
"It's a tricky course, there are a lot of blind tee shots," he said. "If you hit into the wrong spot, it will cost a lot of strokes."
La Purisima is best suited for a golfer who can play a steady game from start to finish.
"That's K.K's strength," Kirkland said. "He is very consistent, very steady. He is not the longest player out there, but he hits the ball well and is very strong off the tee. He is accurate with his irons and is putting great."
This past week he played in two events. He shot 74 in a local U.S. Open qualifier at Ironwood Country Club in Palm Desert and played in a two-day SCPGA Toyota Cup event at Desert Willow Country Club in Palm Desert.
"It was a good decision," Limbhasut said of playing on the high school team. "I had a lot of fun this year. It keeps me playing in matches and tournaments."

Bieruń - a city situated in southern Poland, in Silesia Province, county town of Bieruń-Lędziny County. It is located 27 km south of Katowice, 306 km south-west of Warsaw. It lies on the Mleczna River.
Adam Marczewski
Jewish settlement in Bieruń is connected with the edict, issued in 1627 by Cesar Ferdinand, which allowed Jews to settle in Silesia after the payment of 40.000 guldens. By this edict Cesar hoped to improve the financial situation of the state, which after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) was very poor. The edict also allowed certain, privileged groups of Jews (privilegire Juden) to trade and work as craftsmen. The group was also referred to as court Jews (Hofjuden). They could lease customs and taxes, as well as buy houses.
First Jews, started to settle in Bieruń at the end of the 17th century.
In May 1713, Cesar Karol VI issued the tolerance edict (Toleranzpatent) that allowed Jews to settle in Silesia after a payment of the tolerance tax. The bill divided the Jewish community into two parts: (1) land owners, and those without a property (they paid the lower tax); (2) tolerated Jews. Those excluded from the tax, were Jews from Głogów and Biała Prudnicka .
In October 1726 the Silesian Superior Office proclaimed the patent "Wegen der Juden", that forbade Jews to settle in the houses and cities where, prior to the act, there were no Jews. In this way the influx of Jews (so called strangers) to Silesia was stopped. The document introduced also "rule of settlement (inkolat)" in every Jewish family. Only one son had permission to marry and settle (inkolae). The others were considered strangers and had to leave the country after reaching adolescence.
Introduction of this law increased Jewish settlement in Silesia. The majority of the newcomers dealt with business activity. This created strong opposition amongst the Christian entrepreneurs and merchants, who started to demand that the Jews be expelled from Silesia. It led to the proclamation of yet another edict of Cesar Karol VI, which ordered Jews without separate privileges to leave Silesia. Those who could stay, had permission to deal with retail and small production, as well as with the production and sale of vodka, based on the lease. At the same time city authorities received permission to expel Jews from the city centers, and turn the Jewish cemeteries and synagogues into Christian sites.
During the First Silesian War in 1742, the majority of the region was conquered by the Prussian King
Local history
Izrael Badacz
Since 1327 the settlement Bieruń was a Czech fiefdom and it suffered the same political fate as the whole Silesia. In 1387 Bieruń was granted a charter. The development of the town was favored by a beneficial location of the town on the trade route from Wrocław (Breslau) to Kraków (Cracow). In 1865 Bieruń was granted a charter again and was given a name of Bieruń Stary.
In 1975 Bieruń Stary was deprived of its charter and was incorporated into the town of Tychy. In 1991, however, Bieruń was granted a charter again and was given a name of Bieruń.

Goble admits Bertrams fraud
Graham Goble, former head of international sales at Bertrams, has admitted defrauding the company of £1.9m. Goble made his admission at Norwich Crown Court, where he was warned he faces a "substantial" jail term, according to a local news report.
Goble's barrister Jonathan Taylor told the court that the loss to Bertrams was £1.9m, but the personal amount which Goble gained for himself was about £650,000. Goble had used some of the money he obtained to gamble in a bid to "retrieve the situation" and get the money back, Taylor said.
The matter, uncovered when it was realised that someone was "fraudulently controlling" a customer account, was highlighted in Bertrams parent company Smiths News interim results for April 2011. Bertrams later announced its insurers had agreed to pay the £1.9m loss, minus £65,000.
Goble, who joined Bertrams in 2004, becoming head of international sales in 2011, was given conditional bail until sentencing in April.

Plymouth State College Professor of History David C. Switzer's book Snow Squall: The Last American Clipper Ship (Tilbury House), has received the John Lyman Book Award, 2002 from the North American Society for Oceanic History. Switzer co-wrote the book with maritime historian Nicholas Dean.
Snow Squall begins and ends with Switzer's account of numerous trips that he, Dean and their team of nautical archaeologists took to the Falkland Islands to recover the remains of the 19th-century, Maine-built clipper ship Snow Squall. Sandwiched in between is Dean's history of the working life of the ship itself, which began in the Cornelius Butler shipyard in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, in 1851 and ended, in Switzer's words, "a hulk incorporated into the head of a Falkland Island Company jetty."
At least, it was supposed to end there. But the mission of Switzer, Dean and their team was to recover the remains of the ship and bring it back to America, undeterred by the damage that had been inflicted during the Falklands war between Great Britain and Argentina.
It took 18 years and four expeditions to complete the recovery that culminates with this fascinating story. Switzer writes, "For those of us whose lives were shaped (or sometimes bent) as a result of years of involvement with Snow Squall, there is a comfortable feeling that, all in all, we did the right thing."
The book has been well received. John Rousmaniere, author of Fastnet and The Low Black Schooner, writes, "A first-rate maritime history and an exciting story of archaeological detection, Snow Squall brings America's last clipper ship back to life."
According to the North American Society for Oceanic History, John Lyman Books Awards are given annually to the authors of books published during the past year that are judged by the Society to have made the most significant contributions to naval and maritime literature.

In January 2012, Roche began focusing on expanding its coagulation testing product line in North America beyond physicians' offices and out-patient clinics, with the development of a full line of coagulation analysers for hospitals and reference labs. To achieve this, the company acquired Verum Diagnostica, a Munich, Germany-based company focused on platelet function testing, which is claimed to be the fastest-growing field in the coagulation diagnostics market. The coagulation analyser product line is expected to be introduced in the US and Canada in 2014, subject to regulatory approval and other requirements. Further attempts to expand into North America were made in 2012 with the failed attempt to acquire Illumina Inc, a San Diego, California-based developer of life-science tools and integrated systems for the analysis of genetic variation and function (see Strategic Focus section). Roche believed this acquisition would have secured its position in the sequencing and microarrays market in North America.
In 2011, Roche Diagnostics was responsible for 22.9% of the Roche Group's revenue.

Ohio Company Chips in for BP Alaska Fix
The Pipe Line Development Co. works round the clock to provide repair parts.
CLEVELAND -- The Pipe Line Development Co., known as PLIDCO, is working nearly 24 hours a day to produce fittings for BP to temporarily fix its 22 mile system in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, reported The Associated Press.
"We have been working two shifts about 20 to 22 hours a day," Smith told the AP. "We are looking to hire skilled welders and machinists immediately."
BP said it would keep one side of the Prudhoe Bay oil field open, to funnel nearly half of its previous output an prevent a more serious pinch in the nation's oil supply.
BP currently needs 12 "split sleeves," or massive clamps that are used to repair leaks without closing down the system. It also needs four weld end couplings that connect lengths of undamaged pipe, according to PLIDCO sales manager Frank Castro.
Manufacturing for the materials takes a month because of the precise forming, welding, heat treating and machining involved. PLIDCO has been in contact with its pipeline and oil company customers -- more than 100 in the world -- to fill the order by borrowing any extra fittings from warehouses.
"Most of the companies do have stock on hand," Castro told the AP, "as an insurance item."
The plan will reduce manufacturing time, overtime and an expansion of the workforce, which currently totals 75, at the family owned company.
The repair sleeves are cold-rolled from two inch thick pressure-vessel-quality plate steel, welded, x-rayed and machined. The 34-inch diameter model weighs 980 pounds, and the 30-inch unit weighs 875 pounds, the AP reported.
The cost to repair and replace the pipelines at Prudhoe Bay will cost the company nearly $170 million, according to BP.
As of August 12, current production from the Prudhoe Bay was approximately 150,000 barrels of oil and natural gas liquids per day. The production will increase to 200,000 barrels as Gathering Center 1 resumes full production after the completion of a planned maintenance shutdown.
BP has completed 2,200 ultrasonic inspections which will continue, along with visual and infrared surveillance of the line to assure safe operations.
To date, BP has bought more than 4.5 million barrels of crude oil on the global marketplace to cover the shortage caused from the Prudhoe Bay shutdown. Additional crude and other refined products will be acquired if necessary.

Nevertheless, I felt obliged to attend, as since E3 rendered itself irrelevant, the GC has clearly become the top games show in the world.
And my trepidation turned out to be relatively unfounded – once on the ground, I managed to blag accommodation in Leipzig itself (sorry EA – didn't mean to seem ungrateful), and actually managed to have a fun time, thanks to the agreeably sociable nature of the games industry. But one's over-riding impression of the Games Convention is that it could be a great show – if it took place anywhere other than Leipzig. Let's hope the persistent rumours of a move to Berlin prove substantial.
Perhaps it's the lack of enthusiasm for Leipzig that discourages publishers from developing the necessary confidence to make big news announcements at the show. It was less news-free than last year, but only just, and Microsoft's decision to announce its Xbox 360 price-cut two days before the show started was telling. As far as taking over from E3 is concerned, it has a long way to go before it provides the industry-wide news focus that E3 once did.
The Games Convention, as far as I'm concerned, is good for one thing: getting hands-on time with games, which is not to be sniffed at. Stand-outs for me included Fallout 3 (the future of RPGs and the game of the show), Stranglehold (it may not be sophisticated, but it provides pure gaming pleasure), FIFA 08 (with its intriguing 'Be A Pro' mode), Valve's Orange Box, and in particular Team Fortress 2 (which is bound to take Xbox Live by storm) and the insanely intense Call of Duty 4, back at its rightful development home, Infinity Ward.
Sony showed how adept it has become at grabbing the limelight when others can't be bothered to with its Play TV announcement, although did the company really need to spend half an hour telling us that the FIFA Interactive World Cup will be fought out on the PS3 rather than the Xbox 360 this year? Mind you, it did provide a super-rare chance to actually see someone from FIFA in the flesh. Not to mention confirming our, shall we say, misgivings about that most shadowy of organisations. Was that CONCACAF guy the one who said that England should never stage the World Cup, or was it one of his colleagues?
That's an interviewee I would have paid to grill, but I often find it difficult to set up interviews at the GC – could it be that all the slots are taken up by spotty teenagers from PlayStation Spunky magazine in Lithuania, who got their towels down first with the local PRs?
Leipzig is still far from ideal. But, in Europe, it's the only show big enough to let developers and publishers meet and do their dealings. But come on, guys: why not move it to somewhere we all want to visit, like Berlin, and see if that can turn it into the show that makes us forget E3 ever existed.

DADE CITY — Jurors in the first-degree murder case of Derral Wayne Hodgkins heard testimony Thursday from the medical examiner who did the autopsy of Teresa Lodge, a diner cook found murdered in her Land O'Lakes apartment in 2006.
Lodge had been stabbed and strangled, and authorities say Hodgkins, a prison releasee who had known Lodge years earlier, was the killer. They found his DNA under her fingernails — evidence of the struggle that ended in her death, they say.
The jury also heard a taped interview with sheriff's detectives in which Hodgkins repeatedly changed his story about when he'd last seen Lodge, 46.
The jury is expected to begin deliberating today. If Hodgkins is convicted of first-degree murder, the jury will reconvene to consider if he should be sentenced to life in prison or face the death penalty.

Captain Ryan McDonagh finished the game with one assist. Scott Stajcer earned the victory for the Rangers, making 20 saves on 24 shots faced.
"It was a typical first game of the tournament, with a lot of back-and-forth action in the beginning, but we settled down as the game went on," said Gordie Clark, Director, Player Personnel, New York Rangers. "The top line of of Stepan, Grachev and Bourque played well together in the Development Camp and that chemistry continued here. Stepan saw the ice incredibly well, Grachev pulled the trigger on two shots and Bourque was a tremendous energy guy chipping in with a goal.

All of our floor joists are made in the UK using a carbon negative process and sustainably sourced timber.
We have well established expertise in redeveloping brownfield land, recycling land which has been previously developed for residential, industrial or commercial use to create much needed homes.
We are always looking for new opportunities and will consider all sites, with or without planning permission.
Our commitment to regenerating disused land and buildings means that over 95 percent of our developments are created on recycled brown land, adding value to local communities and also to the environment.
Brownfield sites such as former garages, public houses and post offices, are often well located within established neighbourhoods. This not only presents convenience to our new customers but also provides more pleasant surroundings for the existing local residents to live in.
Our approach to local communities
We have a flexible and imaginative attitude towards land acquisitions, which has earned us a reputation for understanding the needs of the local environment, communities and authorities.
Where a development will have significant economic and social impact on a community, we carry out Community Planning events, followed by discussions with the authorities, in order to produce workable schemes that reflect the visions of the local residents.

Legal Blog ("Blawg") on Causes of Action and Affirmative Defenses in Texas -- with Caselaw Snippets from Recent Court of Appeals Opinions, and Occasional Commentary on Decisions
Thursday, January 12, 2012
Sworn account suit under TRCP 185 not available for any and all types of claims involving an unpaid account
Suit for unpaid electrical power service may be brought as sworn account, but claim for early termination fee required proof of breach of the underlying contract, according to an opinion issued by Houston's First Court of Appeals today.
Rule 185 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, entitled Suit on Account, provides:
When any action or defense is founded upon an open account or other claim for goods, wares and merchandise, including any claim for a liquidated money demand based upon written contract or founded on business dealings between the parties, or is for personal service rendered, or labor done or labor or materials furnished, on which a systematic record has been kept, and is supported by the affidavit of the party, his agent or attorney taken before some officer authorized to administer oaths, to the effect that such claim is, within the knowledge of affiant, just and true, that it is due, and that all just and lawful offsets, payments and credits have been allowed, the same shall be taken as prima facie evidence thereof, unless the party resisting such claim shall file a written denial, under oath. A party resisting such a sworn claim shall comply with the rules of pleading as are required in any other kind of suit, provided, however, that if he does not timely file a written denial, under oath, he shall not be permitted to deny the claim, or any item therein, as the case may be. No particularization or description of the nature of the component parts of the account or claim is necessary unless the trial court sustains special exceptions to the pleadings.
The elements of a suit on a sworn account claim are thus (1) the sale and delivery of merchandise or performance of services; (2) that the amount of the account is "just," that is, the prices charged are pursuant to an express agreement, or in the absence of an agreement, that the charges are usual, customary, or reasonable; and (3) that the outstanding amounts remain unpaid. E.g., Powers v. Adams, 2 S.W.3d 496, 499 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1999, no pet.).
"Rule 185 is a procedural tool that limits the evidence necessary to establish a prima facie right to recovery on certain types of accounts." Williams v. Unifund CCR Partners Assignee of Citibank, 264 S.W.3d 231, 234 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, no pet.). "Rule 185 applies only to 'transactions between persons, in which there is a sale upon one side and a purchase upon the other, whereby title to personal property passes from one to the other, and the relation of debtor and creditor is thereby created by general course of dealing . . . .'" Id. (quoting Meaders v. Biskamp, 316 S.W.2d 75, 78 (Tex. 1958) (emphasis in original)). "It does not apply to transactions between parties resting upon a special contract." Id. (quoting Meaders, 316 S.W.2d at 78).
The trial court's $29,615.04 award was made up of $12,994.18 for unpaid electrical service and a $16,620.86 early termination fee. A suit on a sworn account applies to the sale of electric service. See generally Rimco Enters., Inc. v. Texas Elec. Serv. Co., 599 S.W.2d 362, 365 (Tex. Civ. App.—Fort Worth 1980, writ ref'd n.r.e.).
While the defendants dispute here that the electric service charges were reasonable, accurate, or just, Affordable Power's petition attached an affidavit, made on the affiant's personal knowledge, attesting that:
Attached to this affidavit is the final bill and/or invoice that was sent to the listed customer. The final invoice was based on an open account with the customer for goods and/or services rendered. The final invoice is part of our systematic records, based on goods and/or services provided to the customer. A true and correct copy of the Contract Agreement with the listed customer and Terms of Service is attached as Exhibit "1" of this Petition.
The final invoice accurately reflects charges for goods and/or services provided. The amount of the account is just and true, it is due, the prices were charged according to a written contract with the customer and the charges are usual, customary and reasonable. The just and true amount of $29,615.04 plus interest, is currently due having been unpaid by the customer. This amount includes all lawful offsets, payments and credits.
Because this affidavit meets the requirements to establish a prima facie case under Rule 185, the defendants' failure to file a verified denial would have precluded them from disputing the $12,994.18 charges for electrical service on Affordable Power's suit on a sworn account at trial. See Vance v. Holloway, 689 S.W.2d 403, 404 (Tex. 1985).
For the reasons further explained below, however, we nonetheless remand Affordable Power's claim based on unpaid electrical services to the trial court because judgment on that claim is not "separable without unfairness to the parties" from the judgment on Affordable Power's breach of contract claim related to the termination fee, which is not supported by legally sufficient evidence. Tex. R. App. P. 44.1(b); Iron Mountain Bison Ranch, Inc. v. Easley Trailer Mfg., Inc., 42 S.W.3d 149, 162 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2000, no pet) ("Given the intertwined nature of appellee's promissory estoppels theory and its other theories, we remand the promissory estoppel issue for a new trial in the interest of justice.").
