NEW YORK (TheStreet) - As Media General (MEG) works to merge with LIN Media (LIN), forming the nation's second largest pure-play TV broadcasting company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) continues to make money off of a newspaper deal it cut with Media General in 2012.
In May 2012, Berkshire Hathaway bought 63 newspapers from Media General for $142 million in cash and agreed to provide the nationwide TV broadcaster with a $400 million term loan and a $45 million revolving credit line, as the company worked to repair its balance sheet.
As part of the newspaper purchase and its loan to Media General, Berkshire also received penny warrants for approximately 4.6 million of Media General's Class A shares, about 20% of its outstanding stock at the time.
Berkshire's loans, which carried an interest rate of 10.5%, and its warrants, quickly paid off.
The Warren Buffett-run company converted its penny warrants to Media General common stock in the third quarter of 2012, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show.
In August 2013, Media General and Young Broadcasting agreed to a merger that refinanced the company's outstanding debts at far lower interest rates than its deal with Berkshire Hathaway. In the refinancing, Media General took out a $60 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $885 million seven-year term loan at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a 1% LIBOR floor.
The deal appears to have cut Media General's financing costs by as much as 50% -- it also paid off for Berkshire.

Sign up for our weekly email * European stocks have responded positively to the US central bank's announcement that interest rates are likely to remain on hold until 2013. Signs that the Federal Reserve are implementing growth strategies led to gains of between one and two per cent in European bourses. London's FTSE 100 share index was up by 1.4 per cent. The news comes at a time when positive growth in other parts of the global economy is also taking place. Following Tuesday's statement, US shares closed up four per cent and Asian markets continued to show gains of between one and two per cent. The US interest rate currently ranges between zero and 0.25 per cent. As well as the welcome news surrounding interest rate freezes, the Federal Reserve posited the possible introduction of further quantitative easing methods in order to stabilise the global economy. The US economy has suffered serious blows in recent days following the ongoing debate between Republicans and Democrats over whether to raise the US debt ceiling. Standard & Poor's downgrading of the US credit rating from triple A to AA+ for the first time added to fears that the world's biggest economy was heading for recession. Despite putting interest rates on hold, analysts have made it clear that such fears persist. There is still a long way to go before the falls of recent weeks are in any way close to being recovered. Ongoing eurozone volatility has provoked analysts to reassess economic and corporate profit growth estimates. Although recent growth figures offer a glimpse of reassurance, longer-term uncertainty over US and European economies prevails. Tess Riley is a freelance journalist and social justice campaigner.

After two years of failing to snare a major acquisition,
The company is to outlay $US550 million ($508 million) in cash to buy Bank of New York Mellon's share-owner services business.
The deal is Computershare's largest transaction and follows an usually quiet period during which the company struggled to find the deals it needs to grow its profits.
"This day has been a long time coming," said chief executive Stuart Crosby of the deal. "It's especially good given the low levels, relative to our history, of acquisitions over the last few years to have something as meaty and meaningful as this."
But the acquisition faces a critical hurdle: obtaining clearance from the United States' competition regulator, the Department of Justice. On Deutsche Bank estimates, the deal will combine the largest and second-largest players in the US transfer agent market, giving Computershare a 70 per cent market share.
If antitrust clearance is not obtained within 12 months, Computershare will have to pay a $US30 million reverse break fee to BNY Mellon.
Mr Crosby said he had only agreed to put so much shareholders' money at risk on the basis he was confident the deal would proceed.
BNY Mellon's share-owner business runs the employee share schemes for 200 US companies and also provides stock transfer services to about 950 companies. It had revenues of $US291 million in 2010.
The share-owner services business's earnings were not disclosed but Deutsche Bank analyst Kieren Chidgey said the purchase price was attractive in terms of revenue.
Computershare is the world's largset provider of share registry services to listed companies. Its success has been based on buying similar businesses and taking out costs to run them more efficiently.
Computershare said it can extract more than $US70 million in synergies from the BNY Mellon business within three years of acquisition. If that goal was achieved, earnings per share could increase by 15 per cent in the third year, Mr Chidgey said.
The all-cash deal will be funded from Computershare's existing cash reserves and bridging loans from two banks.
If the deal cleared antitrust hurdles it would be a boon for Computershare, JPMorgan analyst Russell Gill said. He likened it to the landmark acquisition of Equiserve in 2004, which propelled Computershare into the ranks of one of Australia's best performing companies.
"Outside of general corporate activity, Computershare lacked a catalyst for growth. The market was unimpressed with recent acquisitions they had made in industries outside their core business," Mr Gill said.
"This transaction is far more positive. You have two to three years of [earnings per share] accretion purely from cost synergies that will come through. It's a scalable business, purchased at the bottom of what could potentially be a corporate actions cycle."
Mr Gill estimated the chances of the deal being cleared, despite the competition hurdles, at "slightly above 50 per cent".
Analysts quizzed Mr Crosby as to why he was confident the deal would not be stopped on antitrust grounds. He replied that legal advice had been favourable and pointed to high levels of competition and low barriers to entry.
Major banks in the US are pushing into the share registry space to move their operations away from lending. Wells Fargo recently poached two key customers from Computershare – Hewlett-Packard and Comcast.
Computershare's shares closed on Wednesday at a 12-month low of $8.93. But yesterday's announcement pushed up the share price 7.7 per cent, to close at $9.62. The shares peaked at $12.76 in March 2010.
Mr Crosby said he would not rule out more deals in the next two years.
"This will take us towards the top of our comfort range on net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ratios, but that is pretty quickly self-repairing."
The Australian Financial Review

The federation, consisting of distinguished leaders and scholars from around the world, serves the United Nations, nations and municipalities by offering wisdom and guidance to advance peace and prosperity.
"It is an honor to join such an enlightened group of individuals who share the goal of advancing religious understanding and the awareness that religious conflicts undermine positive human endeavors," said Selengut.
The author of Sacred Fury: Understanding Religious Violence, Selengut believes that if society hopes to find a solution to religious violence, it needs to gain a better and more comprehensive understanding of what motivates such behavior.
"Contrary to predictions, religion has become more central to world politics," he said. "That's why it's important to attempt to understand the current effervescence of religious violence we're seeing in society today. You can't solve a problem until you can name it and understand its origin and reality."
The other members of the IRFWP Board of Advisors are Shrivatsa Goswami, director of Sri Caitanya Prema Samsthana in Jai Singh Ghera, Vrindavan, India; Professor Sulayman S. Nyang, former deputy ambassador and head of chancery of the Gambia Embassy in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; and the Rev. Junsei Terasawa, who initiated both the Peace Camp on the Iraq-Saudi border in a bid to avert the Gulf War and the three-month Pakistan-India Prayer March for Peace.
Selengut has lectured at conferences worldwide on the rise of fundamentalist religion and violence and spoken many times at the United Nations addressing topics related to the genesis of religious violence. He has taught sociology at CCM for more than 40 years. During that time, he has published six books and numerous essays and monographs.
He received his B.A. from Brooklyn College, his M.A. from New School University and his Ph.D. from Drew University. Included among his honors and recognition, he was named a member of the MacArthur Foundation "Project on Fundamentalism," a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow at Harvard University, and a 1997 finalist for the Carnegie Professor of the Year Award.

Teaching Mission
The Department's teaching mission is to equip students to understand the modern economy and to critically evaluate the economic arguments they encounter, both in terms of their conceptual soundness and their ability to explain the factual record. The Department is distinctive in that it exposes students to the rich variety of schools of thought within economics, and, as a result, to the lively debates within the economics profession as well. Faculty members teach courses in areas in which they are actively engaged in research, so students benefit from working with faculty at the frontier of their discipline. For example, economics students can learn about Vermont economy from a former Vermont state economist, and about challenges and progress towards gender and equality from an advisor to the United Nations.

Detailed Description:
OraQuick is a safe, rapid test that accurately identifies HIV in as little as 20 minutes. By providing an accurate, quick method for detecting a person's serostatus and access to immediate post-test counseling, rapid testing has a crucial role in identifying HIV status and improving post-test counseling rates in populations who are at high risk of HIV infection and high failure to return rates. This prospective randomized control trial compared the educational effectiveness of a fifteen-minute post-test counseling video with the normal practice of a session with an HIV counselor.

I'm on trays 6 of 23 on my top and bottom, and I have no regrets. I am 26 and am a college instructor, so I have to speak in front of judgmental college students every week. I knew that having metal braces would have affected my self esteem, which would have made me a less effective teacher. I also liked the idea of being able to take them out to eat and brush my teeth. Overall, here are my observations, and I hope they help someone who's trying to decide: 1. The first couple of days of new trays are somewhat painful. But ibuprofin helps immensely. The worst is taking them out, but I've found that it fades relatively quickly after the initial soreness. 2. The first days of having my first trays, I had a lisp. I thought it was noticeable, but no one else seemed to notice. The trays also caused some rubbing on my gums at first, but some over the counter canker-sore cream did the trick, and no more issues with that. 3. No one notices them. I do, because I know I have them, but even my husband sometimes has to ask if I have the trays in or not. And unless I tell someone I have them, they never seem to notice at all. This is a major plus! You just have to be discreet about popping them out for meals and excusing yourself to the restroom to brush. A little travel case with toothbrush/paste and floss is easy to fit in a purse, briefcase or backpack--even a pocket! 4. You don't notice any movement at first. I'm in my 12th week, and I can't see anything. But, I can feel that my bite is changing. I had pretty good-looking teeth, except for some slight crossing of my bottom front teeth, but my bite was severly occluded and was causing tooth and bone damage. I can feel that my bite feels different when I clench and chew. It'll be fun to see when they start moving the front teeth! 5. I have 8 attachments--those clear little "buttons" (4 top and 4 bottom)--and my dentist didn't put any on the front teeth to minimize the looks of them. I also have to get "adjustments" every month where they shave a little enamel from in between the teeth--doesn't hurt, just is a bit inconvenient (30 minutes or so per visit extra). 6. As with everyone, I'll have to wear retainers (i.e., the last tray) for a while after the final official session, until my teeth don't shift while the trays are out. Plus, I'll need to sleep in the trays pretty much forever. But that's no big deal since I'm a grinder anyway--they'll protect my teeth, plus you can use them for whitening. Overall, I am pumped. I think they are great and I highly recommend them if you get a good dentist who listens to you and explains everything up front. They won't be invisible to you, but they will be to everyone else...just don't expect it to be painless. :-)

It may be mentioned here that the people in Upper Dir will celebrate Eid on Monday along with rest of the country. The DPO said that inspectors and sub-inspectors had been directed to supervise security in their respective jurisdictions.
He added that police patrol teams had been deployed on the main road from Akhagram all the way to Lowari Top and on all link roads.—Correspondent

I still will be rooting regardless, but at this point is it better to see if an official update comes out and then root or does it not really matter. Thanks for the help. Not sure if this belongs in the sub-forum or not. Please move if so. Thank you.

Samsung Galaxy S3 KitKat update rollout will most probably not take place until the company finishes delivering Android 4.4 to its current flagships, the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3. This is why custom ROM developers have taken the situation into their own hands to deliver the Android 4.4 Kit Kat update to impatient Galaxy S3 owners. Today's custom ROM is called OmniROM, the aim of this custom Android build is to deliver a close to stock experience while adding some useful functionalities without losing any of the responsiveness that Kit Kat brings along with it.
OmniROM includes every change that Google introduced with Android 4.4 Kit Kat and adds some features of its own. Some of these features include new non-intrusive incoming call notifications, Active Display inclusion, and per app permissions.
Before we move on to the installation process, make sure to understand that we at AndroidOrigin don't take any responsibility for any damage done to your device.
In order to successfully install this ROM, you need to have root access and a custom recovery like ClockworkMod 6.0.32 or later.
Now for the actual installation, download both OmniROM (here) and the PA Gapps (here) to your PC, and enable USB Debugging (Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging).
Now follow these simple instructions:
- Move both files to your Galaxy S3 FT-I9300's SD card.
- Disconnect your device and turn it off.
- Enter recovery mode (Press and hold the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons until the Samsung logo is visible).
- Create a backup of your current ROM.
- Select 'Install zip from SD card', select the OmniROM zip file and confirm installation.
- Now install the PA Gapps package by doing the same as in step 5, only this time selecting the Google apps package.
- Once the installation is finished, go back to the main recovery menu and select 'Wipe data/factory reset'.
- Now, all you need to do is select 'Reboot system now' and wait for your device to reboot completely (Might take up to 5 minutes).
Congratulations! You are now running Android 4.4 on your Galaxy S3. Make sure to let us know any new features or bugs found with OmniROM in the comments below.
If you have any questions, make sure to check out OmniROM's official website for more information about the custom ROM.

I always imagined teaching teenagers but I didn't want to teach my degree subject, french, so that hasn't really been an option for me and until the past few years since having my own kids I never saw myself as a primary school teacher. I now think I'd like to teach primary but I've been put off by the lack of control and de-professionalisation of teachers over the past 2 decades and I fear that I'll find the standards, 'delivering' a lesson culture maddening. I also recall mrs magpie saying that she found primary school staffrooms unbearably twee and I wonder how I will fit in with that. How much room is there for critical thinking in teaching? If I'm honest with myself, I also fear that I just won't be up to it and I could probably find a million excuses not to do it. Anyway, I think my desire to continue working with children and teach is stronger than my objections but I'd like to hear some positive stories if you've got any.

Venture capitalists keep telling me they're shying away from online video startups — the business plans are identical, they're all depending on eyeballs, and the valuations are ridiculous, one VC said to me yesterday. Yet somehow, their money keeps in landing in video startups' bank accounts.
The same day, PE Week dug up a filing showing video-sharing site Fliqz has raised $2.5 million in Series B funding from Mohr Davidow Ventures.
Who's Fliqz? The company orients itself around personal video sharing, with options for making clips private and even password-protected. "Fliqz is a community founded on the premise that you should never have to delete your video assets," writes Fliqz President and CEO Benjamin Wayne in a welcome note on the site.
Fliqz got pretty negative reviews last year, and it doesn't seem to have changed much since then. Wayne told VentureBeat his site is unique because it enables video uploads but does not require a downloaded client and API integration, as VideoEgg does.
VentureBeat had previously reported that Fliqz received $1 million in angel funding from the Caufield Angel Fund, Dave Witherow, Don Hutchison, and Marty Korman.

The Promise of the Science Commons and the Tragedy of Intellectual Property Rights : The University's IPR Policy in Perspective
The title of this essay is a play of words on "The Tragedy of the Commons," the title of the landmark paper by Garrett Hardin which appeared in Science in 1968. After a long period of dormancy, the concept was resuscitated by Elinor Ostrom in 1990 in a book which gained her the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2011. Science Commons is one of an increasing number of academic and scientific advocacy groups that seek to promote open access to published works and data for the purpose of capturing the enormous potential value from the vast numbers of researches being turned out by individuals, businesses, universities and research institutions all over the world (http://sciencecommons.org/projects/publishing/ ). By commons, Hardin and Ostrom meant communally owned and used resources such as grazing lands, forest resources, mineral resources and so on the unmitigated use of which lead to their eventual exhaustion or destruction. By contrast, the 'commons' in science commons refers to knowledge and information, resources that follow a totally different economic logic from those that apply to physical resources. Property rights and other governance mechanisms that apply to one do not necessarily apply to the other.

Thanks for posting great vids like this one, the are appreciated!
For long putts it is the same style of pitch, but with added weight shift to get extra power. A jump putt is really just an exaggerated weight shift, so yes you do jump putt with this form.
Another thing with long putts is you will need to switch from a line-drive to an apex putt, so you should be aiming completely differently but the technique is really the same.

With just a week to go until the big day, model mom-to-be Angie Everhart says she is ready to meet her baby boy, who she's already named Kayden Bobby.
There'll be no waiting around for her son's arrival – due to a back injury, Angie has a c-section scheduled.
"Would I have preferred to deliver naturally? Of course," she tells People. "But it's not an option for me."
Not only is Angie, 39, about to become a first-time-mom, but she'll be doing it on her own. Saying that the baby's father is a "good friend," she reveals that she'll be raising her son as a single mom. It's sure to be a lot of work, but Angie seems to be taking it all in stride. Well… almost!
"I'm not nervous," Angie insists, before adding, "The only time I got shaky was when my girlfriends gave me a stroller and I'm standing behind it thinking, 'There'll soon be a human in there that's coming out of me!' "
For now she's just anxious to meet her little guy, whose "safari rock 'n roll" themed nursery – featuring a mural of a giraffe wearing headphones and a monkey playing a Van Halen guitar – is ready and waiting for him. "I was never one for pastels," Angie laughingly admits.
Best of luck to Angie as her big day approaches!

In-Network Benefits for BlueChoice Option
Our BlueChoice Option POS in-network benefits work the same as our BlueChoice HMO plan. Review the
BlueChoice HMO
section of this ERG for more information. If the procedures for in-network benefits are not followed, out-of-network benefits will apply. Please read below to learn more about how BlueChoice Option POS works
if your employees choose to receive care out of network.
Out-of-Network Benefits for BlueChoice Option
Eligible benefits will be paid at the out-of-network level if your employees choose to receive care from physicians or providers who are not in the BlueChoice Option network. This rule also applies when your employees visit network physicians or facilities without referrals from their selected PCP. The out-of-network benefits are subject to an annual deductible and higher level of coinsurance.
The Out-of-Network Calendar Year Deductible
Before we can begin to pay benefits, your employees must meet any required deductibles. Deductible requirements are stated in the out-of-network summary of benefits section in your Certificate Booklet.
Percentage Payable Out-of-Network
Any out-of network portion paid by your employees will be applied to their out-of-pocket maximums. Once your employee reaches the out-of-pocket maximum (plus any required deductible), we pay 100% of covered expenses for the remainder of the calendar year. However, the out-of-pocket maximum benefit does not apply to:
PCP or referred specialist office visit copays
Prescription drug copays
Emergency room copays
The above services are never paid at 100% even after the out-of-pocket maximum has been met.
Out-of-pocket maximums are accumulated separately for in-network (if applicable) and out-of-network providers.
Out-of-Network Preventive Care Benefits
The following services are covered out-of-network, subject to your employees' deductibles and out-of-pocket requirements.

Pap Smear
Chlamydia Testing
Prostate Antigen Test
Child Wellness Services
Out-of Network Pre-Admissions
Your employee, the physician or the hospital must obtain approval for all hospital admissions to a non-preferred hospital. If a member is hospitalized and preauthorization was not obtained, all charges will be denied. The member will be responsible for all hospital charges.
Pre-admission certification is not a guarantee of payment.
Waiting Periods and Pre-existing Limitation Periods
Please have your employees review their Certificate Booklet for more information.
Processing Out-of-Network Claims
When your employees use out-of-network providers, they are responsible for submitting claims for reimbursement. Members should be sure that their name, group and member number are accurately filled in on the claim form. The group administrator should have a copy of the Member Health Expense Report for employees to file.
Click here
to access the form electronically. The reimbursement will be based on the usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) amount allowed for the services that were rendered.
Prescriptions Written by an Out-of- Network Physician
The out-of-network coinsurance and deductible will apply if an out-of-network physician writes a prescription for a drug listed on the Preferred Drug Formulary. However, if an out-of-network physician writes a prescription for a non-formulary drug, no coverage is available.

Here's the final Video Interview (of 10) that I was able to conduct last week at Tech Ed 2010 in New Orleans with Elisa Flasko, Program Manager on Project Dallas.
My first nine interviews that I posted were with the Unified Communications team (Exchange Server and Office Communications Server). I thought it would be nice to get some interviews from other groups as well. I did not have as much luck in this endeavor, but I was able to get Elisa Flasko to tell me about Project Dallas. It didn't hurt that Elisa and I used to work on the same team many years ago so she at least knew who I was and was willing to do a friend a favor.
Since I had no idea what Project Dallas was, I did of course have to ask Elisa to explain it to me. She even took the time to demonstrate what could be done with the Data Marketplace (Project Dallas). Very interesting – and kinda scary at the same time. Tune in and hear what this project is all about.

I don't think this is normal: I had a Tummy Tuck done 10 days ago and there's some clear discharge. That small hole with the yellow inside scares me. I don't have fever, but I suspect it's an infection. I'm really worried. I have been putting some neosporin in the last two days but it feels like it's getting worse. Please help!
Discharge After Tummy Tuck an Infection?
Doctor Answers 14
See your surgeon
If it is clear yellow fluid coming out of a drain hole, it is probably serous fluid. It is a good thing that it is coming out rather collecting inside. This is normal for a few days after a drain is pulled. If it is more like chicken broth with fat droplets, it could be a little liquified fat. Infection is usually opaque white or green. In any case, do not rely on email advice. Go see your surgeon.
Discharge from incision after a tummy tuck
Go back to your surgeon. You can get 100 different opinions from the web, but your best bet is to have your surgeon examine the area. This discharge after Tummy Tuck is not uncommon.
Go back to your doctor
Unless you are having fevers of more pus like drainage, this is likely serous fluid coming out of an incision. Keeping gauze on it and changing it when needed will usually allow this to dry up. Of course, these are all issues your doctor would want to know about.
You might also like...
Small Wound Breakdown
What you're describing is a small wound breakdown likely secondary to blood supply, serum and surgery. Don't worry this is not uncommon. The fluid is normal serous or body fluid that is coming out of the wound that developed due to tissue breakdown.
Long and short of it is you will be fine as only as you continue to use the Newsprint or Bestirring and wait for the tissue to heal. In fact these wounds usually don't scar any differently than the original incision. So take heart, you'll be fine.
See your physician for yellow drainage from tummy tuck wound
You did not specify where this is coming from? The belly button or the incision.
In either case, you can have clear discharge which typcially comes from one of two sources:
- If it is clear, yellow and slightly oily, it may be a sign of some fat necrosis which does occur particularly in the central portion of the incision. This is associated with firmness of the surrounding tissues but is NOT a sign of infection
- If it is clear and yellow orange, it also could be a self draining seroma, a collection of serum (clear portion of the blood). This also is not an infection but has the potential to become infected and should be drained or monitored.
In any case, seek your surgeon's attention to assess and treat if necessary.
I hope this helps!
See your surgeon
Drainage after a tummy tuck is not a common occurrence. Drainage 10 days after the procedure could indicate an infection or a seroma (fluid build up). An infection typically presents with some or all of the following: fever, redness, increased pain around the area, yellowish discharge that is usually thick, hardness of the tissue around the area, an opening in the wound. A seroma typically presents with some or all of the following: redness, hardness around the area, thin yellow or clear discharge, a small wound opening.
Many surgeons use a drainage tube when they do tummy tucks to collect excess fluid and try to prevent a seroma. If you did not have drainage tubes, and you developed a seroma, it is likely coming out of a small opening... which is usually a good thing since we do not want that fluid trapped inside!
In either case, this is not something we can evaluate over the internet. Please see your surgeon. Good luck.
Clear or thin yellow discharge is common
I would certainly keep your doctor informed, but clear or thin, yellow discharge from a small opening does not always mean infection. Infection usually has an accompanying fever, thicker discharge and redness over the skin.
Clear discharge may just be serous fluid that has not been reabsorbed. Do get checked out by your doctor to make sure you also don't have a seroma, an accumulation of that serous fluid that needs to be aspirated.

Discharge After Tummy Tuck
It is normal to have a little bit of drainage after the drain has removed. The skin wound will need a few days to fully close and until that happens some fluid can leak. However, there should not be a large amount of drainage, nor bright red blood. If this happens, go see your surgeon immediately.

Discharge After Tummy Tuck an Infection
Drainage is normal, but talk to your surgeon too.
Although there doesn't appear to be any evidence that this wound is infected this situation can change rapidly. If fluid can get out, bacteria can get in. For this reason it's important to consult your surgeon as soon as possible. Your surgeon may perform an ultrasound study to rule out the presence of a seroma. In some cases he may elect to start prophylactic antibiotics. By taking this approach more significant complications can be avoided.

Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo's Communications Office
June Designated Great Outdoors Month in Kentucky
June is a month when every Kentuckian's mind turns towards getting outdoors, getting active and shaking off the sedentary ways of winter. In turn, this afternoon Lieutenant Governor Daniel Mongiardo and First Lady Jane Beshear joined Governor Beshear in issuing a proclamation declaring June Great Outdoors Month in Kentucky.
This proclamation comes on the heels of the Commonwealth's Adventure Tourism kick-off, which seeks to encourage Kentuckians to discover the unique natural beauty in their own backyard. What's more, Kentucky is poised to become the premier location in the United States for destination recreation, as visitors come to experience the state's unique outdoor tourism opportunities. Whether visiting some of our thousands of miles of shoreline, one of our 53 state parks or simply watching Kentucky's abundant wildlife, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy about the Commonwealth's outdoors.
This proclamation also allows for an increased focus on two key issues surrounding the outdoors in Kentucky: conservation and promoting a healthier state for all.
"In order to make sure our outdoor areas and natural habitats are preserved for our children and grandchildren, immediate action must be taken. Through initiatives such as the Governor's Green Team led by Mrs. Beshear and conservation efforts from Paducah to Prestonsburg, we will be able to maintain the innate beauty of our rivers, hills and trails across the state," said Governor Beshear.
"Kentucky has some of the most diverse and abundant outdoor lands in the United States," said Lieutenant Governor Mongiardo. "By encouraging Kentuckians to explore these lands, stay active and find a recreational endeavor that they enjoy, we will be using our resources to help increase physical activity and subsequently decrease numerous health problems facing us today."
Great Outdoors Month will be highlighted by many events across the state, including multiple group hikes, bicycle rides and events at state nature preserves.

This cutter solves the problem for many smokers, of just how to perfectly cut your cigar. Especially for new smokers, it takes the guesswork out of what is really a critical step in the enjoyment of a good smoke. It allows for the perfect positioning of just about any cigar and effortless cuts. In this video we unbox it and run it through a couple different types of cigars to get a feel for how it operates. Thank you very much to Cuban Crafters for generously donating this for review, it's greatly appreciated! This is a real bargain for a great cutter with a lifetime guarantee at only a $15 price point.
Cuban Crafters Perfect Cutter Unboxing & Reviewby Bryan Glynn, June 15, 2009
Mike – KnightRid
Nice review. I never saw a cutter with the hole in it for the torpedos or belicosas! I have seen a few with the back on it for standard cigars, but this cutter looks very nice! I will have to check a store about 45 minutes away to see if they carry these in store and give one a try!
I have two and will be giving one away in my next promotion 🙂
I have the Perfecto version of this. Same cutter, different shape, even same price. Its a great cutter.
I own one of these perfect cutters and have given two away to friends. We all love them and always get comments on their appearance and solid feel. One minus/negative is the lack of a pouch which I wish Cuban Crafters offered.
As a side note, for my orders, they did include a stogie (Don Kiki, house brand) which was a pleasant surprise. I definitely recommend a purchase by anyone.
Bryan, how about an update report on this cutter?
How do you like it so far?
How does it compare to your Xikar?
Have you ever used a Palio cutter? Thanks.
Not much to update other than it's still working perfectly! I've been using it exclusively, haven't even touched the Xikar again. It not only cut's more consistently, but cuts a lot BETTER. I have not used a Palio yet.
I have had the scissor style cuban crafter cutter with triple blades for several years now. It works great also.
Thanks for the review on this Bryan. Have been looking for a nice cutter for a while now, tired of the plastic ones with cheap blades. After seeing this review, I picked one up and couldn't be happier with it. Very nice construction, extremely sharp high quality steel blades that cut flawlessly. Feels good in the hand. I can definitely see why they claim that 'this is the the last cutter you ever have to buy'.
Great review! CC has the original back in stock and on sale at CC. Should get mine next week…
I just bought this cutter Bryan. I have used Xikar lighters (the crossover) for a long time and almost bought the xi1 cutter. Its been a while since your last update do you think it still works as good as it did before? still prefer it to the rest??
Yep, you can see it in all my vids – still perfect 🙂
Slizzard Lizard
These are awsome cutters. I have had numerous cutters including xicars, which are nice but not as good as these. I have had mine now for about a year and a half and have had no dulling of the blades yet. I get them as gifts to all my cigar smoking friends. Takes all the guess work out of cutting. Helps quite a bit after a few drinks:-)
I was looking through your review list and saw this cutter in the list and because of this video I think I might buy this cutter next week 🙂 hows it working for you today? still good as new or have you had to send it back?
I am getting one of these cutters! Everytime i see you use it in the video i see how perfect the cut really is. i have gotten alot better with my cuts but i would like to not have to worry and use that one!
I found this cutter on ebay. Very nice price. I ordered 2 for $15. Hope it works as good as the price.
I bought one of these because of your recommendation about a month ago. Great purchase, im 100% satisfied with it. great review
Bryan, I am warning you, you will have an issue with my wife!!!
watching your videos makes me want to spend more money… this cutter is one of my next purchases.
If my wife finds out, you are in trouble! 🙂
I am in the same boat there. These reviews along with newly discovering Cigarbid I'm getting myself in deep. Haha. I'm finding such good deals though I can't help it.
I'm looking for a new straight cutter bc the ones I have now suck and pint the crap out of my cigars. This looks like the one. Found a sweet poker version of this I must have.
seen you use this one in many of your reviews.I still use the cheap plastic ones you get for about 2 bucks. have to get one of these.keep up the good work
Man, that's do depressing!!
I found it on ebay at about 15$ but shipping to Israel (yea, that's where I am from) is about 20$ (!!!!!)
If anyone has a spare one for less, I will be happy to buy it.
I contacted Brian after watching many of his reviews and noticing the same cutting was used in many of them. I was sent a link with a his review of this cutter, and I immediately purchased the cutter after watching. After several months of using this cutter, I must say it is by far my favorite, and is still as sharp as the day I received it.
Thanks for the great reviews…
Great cutter, my favorite.
daniel luparello
This looks like an excellent cutter. I need a new cutter but I don't really know whats good and whats not good so if anyone has some recommendations please let me know!
After watching Byran use this cutter again and again, I decided to buy one. Best investment (cutter-wise) I've ever made. If this cutter won't cut it,…. it doesn't need to be smoked!
This is the cutter I use. I bought it because of the price, reviews, and warranty. It has worked great so far.
I don't know how responsive they are on the free replacement though if it's ever needed and you will be on the hook for shipping. Not a worry though at the initial price point.
After a few years of use this cutter did come apart on me, I sent it back and they replaced it no problem. I did have to pay for the shipping one way which only cost me about 4 bucks. This cutter is fantastic and so is the warranty.
This review caused me to buy my own one of these bad boys. Wow! You're review was very accurate. I really needed this because I forever botch cuts. I can tell I'll have this forever. Technically, the company says it's not designed to cut 60s but I've found it works if, similar to torpedoes, you give it an extra snip. Awesome cutter. Thanks.
I know this was originally posted in 2009 however, I just purchased one of these cutters and would like to leave my comment. I watched the review video and video after video of Bryan using this cutter and stating how great it was. I normally use a Xikar Xi3 which I love. The only problem using the Xikar is you have to line up the cap with the blades on the cutter and make sure your straight. The Perfect Cutter illuminates most of this by a pre-determined blade depth achieved by the plate behind the blades. This is a very cool feature. I purchased the cutter on ebay for $12.98 free shipping. Considerably less than my Xikar. It is a well made solid cutter that should last a very long time. Thanks for reviewing this cutter and recommending it!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners is known for his accurate stock market calls and keen insights into the economy, which he shares with RealMoney Pro readers in his daily trading diary.
Among the posts this past week were entries about being too selective and the FOMC strategy.

One of the many problems of being cautious on the market is that one becomes too selective in initiating long positions.
One of the companies I have been doing research on this month is Responsys (MKTG)
After doing all my fundamental work, I concluded that my buy level was $16-$18 -- it was trading at $19-$20.
Today Oracle (ORCL)
What a rotten way to end the week, to be honest.At the time of original publication, Kass had no positions in the stocks mentioned.
Post-FOMC Strategy
Originally published on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 8:21 a.m. EDT.
- The FOMC decision didn't surprise much, but the market surprised many.
"So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!"
-- J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan
Yesterday's tapering didn't surprise investors (who were almost evenly distributed in expectations), but the market's reaction (up dramatically) surprised many.
Before the FOMC decision, I was positioned market-neutral because I not only didn't have a strong view of whether tapering would be implemented -- albeit, I did not expect a tapering -- but I also didn't know how the market would react to the two likely Fed scenarios.
Would a tapering with the expected dovish forward guidance be seen as reducing the uncertainty and be cheered by the market? Or would investors be concerned that tapering would cause an unwanted rise in interest rates (consensus) and whack the markets?
Or would no tapering be viewed positively (interest rate stability) or negatively by the markets because of the uncertainty going forward (consensus)?

They seem the type that would die before they retired. Yet the main thing they have going for them, the trust and goodwill of the clientelle they builtup, the hard work they put in...all gone because a bunch of activists and a few city councilmen think it's a good idea to violate property rights and personal freedoms.

|Wings & Wedges
|Sweet Buffalo Chicken Wings
I know Buffalo Chicken Wings are supposed to be just finger food; but I just can't help not having rice with these babies on my plate. Sweet!
Now if rice isn't your thing, Wings & Wedges also offers a good selection of pizzas and pastas, among other things. A personal fave is their Carbonara (Php110 for a single serving) with it's creamy white sauce topped with a generous (and I do mean generous) serving of bacon and mushroom.
Lasagna's (Php150) also a best seller. Lasagna noodles with layers of creamy white sauce, beef, and 2 kinds of cheeses. What's not to love?
With such great food, I've always wondered though why this places hasn't exactly generated much buzz. That is until a few visits later did I find the reason why. Their dishes, although, very promising; Wings & Wedges still have a ways to go in terms of consistency.
Case in point; the family's developed the habit of ordering take-out from Wings & Wedges every time we find ourselves within the San Juan area. And on those visits, we'd either usually get really delicious dishes, or bland ones. But regardless, we order on in the hopes that we hit the jackpot and get served up with a good meal by chance. I swear the gamble pays off if it means having great wings again.
Still, here's hoping for more consistency in the future. They'd make a great addition to the fast food line-up here in the Metro.

Expands Exclusive Skin Lightening License With
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International
) To Include AMBI And Kinerase
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 29, 2014) - Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SBM) (OTCQX: SRBCF) (FRANKFURT: ZSB) announces the expansion of its exclusive license with Valeant Pharmaceuticals ("Valeant") for Sirona's skin lightening compound TFC-849 to include AMBI and Kinerase. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Valeant has the exclusive global rights to TFC-849 for use throughout its international portfolio of companies and brands. AMBI and Kinerase, along with Obagi Medical Products (see press release dated January 29, 2014), are part of Valeant's diverse portfolio focused primarily on dermatology.
"We are excited to add AMBI and Kinerase, two of Valeant Pharmaceutical's premium skin care companies, to the commercial license for TFC-849," commented Mr. Neil Belenkie, CEO of Sirona Biochem. "Adding premium brands with global distribution through over-the-counter (OTC) store sales and significant ecommerce platforms ensures that our compound will reach leading skin lightening and brightening markets around the world."
The global skin lightening market is projected to reach approximately $20 billion by 2018, representing one of the fastest growing segments within the global beauty industry. Sirona has created and patented a skin lightening active ingredient which is up to 14 times more effective than Arbutin, one of the world's leading skin lightening compounds. Most importantly, Sirona's compound is 100% safe and can be sold everywhere in the world.

About Kinerase
Kinerase® skincare was developed over 20 years ago by Valeant to address anti-aging skin care concerns. Kinerase provides powerful results, gently. Its biotechnical formulation is supported by kinetin, a plant-based antioxidant with properties that were discovered when scientists found that it prevented plant leaves from drying out and withering. This same technology is the foundation on which the entire Kinerase line was built. Kinetin reaches cells deep within the skin to keep it smooth and radiant. Indulge in the luxury of skincare science to reveal your most beautiful and youthful looking skin.

Not much is going to plan for Richard Graham at the moment. Six losses in seven games has the Queensland Reds contending for the wrong trinket. Injuries have been so damaging that even the team dog has been taken for scans.
At training, working on the ying has exposed the yang. After a season of botched attacking opportunities, some caused by defensive pressure but many by meaty hands, Graham dedicated his energy towards fine tuning the offence.
The Reds duly let in 10 tries against the Hurricanes, hardly ideal preparation for a date at home with the Crusaders on Sunday, who themselves put 40 points on the Brumbies in a tough week for Australians across the ditch.
"I'm critical of myself there. We worked hard at trying to make sure we cap on attack that we weren't finishing and went away from focusing on our defence," Graham said on Friday.
"That bit us on our backside, to be fair. We focused very heavily on it (defense) this week. I'd like to think we get a really good performance."
Queensland's rapid rise to prominence in Super Rugby was trademarked by the breezy, risky play that reached its zenith in 2011, a philosphy based on former assistant (now Wallaby assistant) Jim McKay's vision of being able to mobilise and launch assaults from any position on the park, at any given time.
But underpinning it all was a defensive system that even last year was the second-best in Super Rugby. It was never a defence that intimidated but the scrambling, scrapping swarms of Red jumpers were able to shut down rivals more often than not.
Graham was the man in charge of the defensive systems under McKenzie and has gone back his roots this week as the Queenslanders (now three and seven) attempt to bring some positivity back to a campaign that will surely see them miss the finals for the first time in four years.
"You have to try and find the things that make the most difference. At the end of the game, there are some things you can't go away from. The defence the last two weeks was one of those," Graham said.
Poor results brings scrutiny on players and coaches. Graham was questioned on Friday as to whether he felt James Horwill had done an adequate job as captain during a difficult run. Graham defended the big lock, saying a change in leadership wasn't close to the radar.
"I haven't given it any consideration at all. James has captained the team well this year. What Ewen (McKenzie) does at the Wallabies isn't any concern at the moment. I haven't given it any thought," Graham said.
The Reds have made six changes against the Crusaders, who arrive on a four-game winning streak. Former Australian Under 20s captain Curtis Browning starts in place of the Ed Quirk, who joins fellow first-choice flanker Liam Gill on the injury list.
He will go toe-to-toe with McCaw, who stamped his class all over the Brumbies, dominating the breakdown and notching up 20 tackles. Browning, a health food entreprenuer when he's not playing rugby, was up for the challenge.
"It's a great opportunity for me to go out there in my first starting game and be up against a world-class player like him," Browning said. "So I'm looking forward to testing myself against him."
REDS Mike Harris, Dom Shipperley, Ben Tapuai, Anthony Fainga'a, Jamie-Jerry Taulagi, Quade Cooper, Will Genia; Jake Schatz, Beau Robinson, Curtis Browning, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, Greg Holmes, James Hanson, Ben Daley. Reserves Saia Fainga'a, Albert Anae, Jono Owen, Ed O'Donoghue, David McDuling, Nick Frisby, Ben Lucas, Rod Davies.
CRUSADERS: Israel Dagg, Johnny McNicholl, Rey Lee-Lo, Ryan Crotty (capt), Nemani Nadolo, Colin Slade, Andy Ellis, Luke Whitelock, Richie McCaw, Jordan Taufua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett. Reserves Ben Funnell, Tim Perry, Nepo Laulala, Jimmy Tupou, George Whitelock, Willi Heinz, Tyler Bleyendaal, Nafi Tuitavake.

UNDATED - Today's severe weather has led to the closure of several roads in Hall and Gwinnett counties as a high volume of standing water continues to accumulate on roadways.
According to Hall County Public Information Officer Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks, a number of Hall County roads are currently closed, with a large portion of those closures coming in the southern end of the county.
As of 5pm Sunday, officials have listed the following as closed:
Atlanta Hwy at Flowery Way
McEver between HF Reed and Radford
Stephens Rd at Pippsisaw
Trudy Dr, Spring St Flowery Branch into Quad Oaks, Cove Creek
At last check, Trudy Drive (off of Lights Ferry Road) and Union Circle in Flowery Branch were closed, as are Stephens Road (near Pipsissewa Drive) and McEver Road south of West Hall High School in Oakwood.
A report posted by Channel 2 News also stated that a stretch of Atlanta Highway in Flowery Branch was impassable due to the high floodwaters, and that I-985 northbound was shut down at exit 14 due to a traffic accident involving multiple vehicles.
Gwinnett County has also seen a fair amount of closures today, according to Cpl. Troy Tobler, the Police Public Information Officer for the county.
Tobler said that due to flooding, authorities were forced to close the following intersections: Peachtree Industrial Boulevard at Little Mill Road, S. Lee Street at Buford Drive, and Hurricane Shoals Road/Winer Industrial Way at Old Norcross Rd.
A mud slide in Dawson County blocked one lane of Highway 53 at Warhill Park Road. Officials reported two feet of mud on the road.
The rain closed some roads around Atlanta University Center on Sunday as people were trying to get to the Morehouse College commencement to hear President Barrack Obama.
Despite the weather, Morehouse maintained its tradition of having an outdoor ceremony surrounded by old academic buildings. "The president didn't come to see the Georgia World Congress Center; he didn't come to see a football stadium. He came to see a Morehouse commencement," Anne Watts, associate vice president for academic affairs, told the drenched audience.
A mud slide in Dawson County blocked one lane of Highway 53 at Warhill Park Road. Officials reported two feet of mud on the road.
In Johns Creek, a tree fell on a bridge, blocking Parsons Road.

White Sox fans and owners of the 1983 Fleer set will be interested to know that Ron Kittle is alive and blogging. Only one post up in the last month — that being from yesterday, where he tells us that he's in Belgium, consulting with Belgian (Belgi? Belgi?) baseball coaches. Not sure exactly what he's teaching them, but he seems to be having fun:
They were a good bunch of guys, and my Friend Pete and I did a little sight seeing also, despite the frigid weather, they say it was the coldest ever, and who am I to say different..they speak Dutch, French and Flemish? And I don't care what anyone says, hearing someone speak French to you is pretty cool, so friendly, heck they might have been making fun of me!!!! but it sounded cool anyway.
How do you say ".306 career OBP" in French?
OK, that was unnecessarily mean. I apologize. It's just that when I was 10 years old I traded a Wade Boggs rookie for a Kittle rookie because, well, because I was an idiot, that's why. I shouldn't take it out on Ron. I should take it out on Brian Young of Flint, Michigan, in whose basement the trade went down.
(thanks to ShysterBall International Correspondent Ron Rollins for the heads up)
