Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
The average point difference in the NFL last year was 11.5pts. I think you guys are putting too much emphasis on the fact that the Denver defense is keeping the games close. NFL games usually are close. There were only TWO games this past weekend where the final score was 11 or higher. Two.
GB vs. Det 27-15
NE vs. Philly 38-20
The other games were 10pts or less. And, there were only two games decided by 10 points. 11 games were decided by one possession.

DIY pencil shaped pencil holder teacher gift
Make this super simple giant wood pencil shaped pencil holder for all those teachers this Fall.
One 1x4x6 board for $5 will yield 2 pencil holders plus a $2 pack of pencils and you have an inexpensive and extremely useful gift.
I spaced the holes about 1" apart which gives me 25 holes.
I handpainted the personalization using this technique with American Typewriter font.
I love how the wood grain actually looks like a real pencil.
How to make a pencil shaped pencil holder:
Step 1: Glue and clamp together 3 - 1x4 boards at 12" long.
Step 2: Make 2 - 30 degree miter cuts on one end. Sand well.
Step 3: Use a ruler and layout pencil holes.
Step 4: Using a 5/16" drill bit mark depth of holes with tape then make holes.
Step 5: Sand well.
Step 6: Paint to mimic a pencil.
Add the personalization using this technique with American Typewriter font.
Step 7: Seal using clear gloss spray poly.

Fedora 10 Startup Issue
Everytime I boot Fedora 10 it freezes at the blue/white bar and won't continue booting until I press a key and I have to continue doing so until it completely boots. Is this a bug or something? Does anyone know how to remedy this?
I had a similar problem on my HP laptop. The solution was to add the nohpet option to the GRUB boot kernel line. (The option tells the kernel to not use the High Precision Event Timer. Relying on the timer can, for some processors, cause the "wait for event" code to branch to needing a key-press to register the event. Note: Just pushing the "shift" key seemed to work for me.)
If you're not familiar with editing GRUB when you boot, just push the <Escape> key when the boot menu is displayed, move to the Fedora boot lin, press "e", move to the kernel=" line, push "e" again, go to the end of the line and enter " nohpet", press <return> and the "b" to boot from the modified instructions.)
Note that modifying the GRUB boot sequence this way is temporary, for testing to see if this is the fix you need. If your boot works, you'll need to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to make the change permanent. (You'll need to be "root" to edit the file. Try [b]su -c 'gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf')
I just edited the grub.conf file and I am about to restart my computer to see if it worked and I'll let you know how it goes.
Adding nohpet worked. Do you have any idea what:
Sure. "rhgb" is the "Red Hat Graphic Boot." If you remove it. you'll see the log-on activity output. Sometimes usefull, sometimes not. You can see the same output by pressing <escape> when the rhgb "booting" bar is displayed.
The "quiet" suppresses the kernel boot messages from going to the screen. (Take it out, and the messages will fill several screen, and you can't scroll back into them.) Most of those messages are what you'll see if you enter the dmesg command in a terminal window. Note, however, that if you'd removed it, you might have gotten a clue about your boot problem, since the messages would have stopped at about the point where you needed to press a key. In this cas, I don't think the messages would have helped, but it's worth a shot when you have problems when the kernal is loading.
So, if I remove it, will I just see the "Starting 'whatever service' and then [DONE]?"
If by "it" you mean the rhgb, then "yes," except you should see either [OK], [WARNING], or [ERROR], but no "[DONE]."
But, as I said, it's easier to just press the escape key when the boot starts unless, for some reason, the F10 boot process has a problem with your display. (If I remember the F10 "changes" documentation I briefly skimmed, one change in the F10 boot process was a change to a "built-in" display system for use during the boot.)

Community Paramedic and Mobile Integrated Health Care Program
In 2013, the Missouri Legislature passed a law authorizing Community Paramedic (CP) programs throughout the
state. MAHC has been involved with the implementation of this new law and has been working with a newly formed
ad hoc group, the Partnership for Community Care (PCC). The PCC helped draft rules governing the community
paramedic role. Even though rules have not been filed yet, we encourage home care providers to be proactive and
reach out to your local ambulance districts, hospitals and EMS programs. These locally designed programs should
be developed with the input of all stakeholders to assess unmet needs and develop community based solutions.
MAHC along with MONA and many of the paramedic, emergency and ambulance associations worked to develop
a Joint Statement of Principles, which is intended to build on available national resources to help define key
principles and elements for CP programs in MO. Click here to access the Statement.

TYLER Brockway's double ensured Amesbury Town bounced back from a two-nil deficit to remain in the league hot chair with 3-2 victory at United Services Portsmouth.
The Blues ended a throng of ten straight defeats at the Victory Stadium by hitting back from trailing 2-0 in the opening 25 minutes.
Brockway got the first and Jesse Walters equalised on 75 minutes, before Brockway headed home a winner three minutes later to seal the points.
Amesbury have taken nine points from four games and are two-points clear at the Sydenhams Football League (Wessex).
Town's wait for their first home game is over on Saturday when they welcome Hythe and Dibden in the FA Vase (3pm) at Bonnymead Park.

This team exercise allows students to experience some of the dynamics of developing products in the fast-paced Internet environment and was inspired by the browser war between Netscape and Microsoft. Designed to be taught in a single class session, the exercise introduces various sources of uncertainty (e.g., various press releases, different team sizes) that make the task of designing a development process particularly challenging. Student teams have to make decisions on organization, features, milestones, testing, and integration in a period of about 30 minutes and present their results to the rest of the class.

A new lawsuit has been filed against General Motors (NYSE:GM) stating that they should compensate millions of cars and trucks owners for the deadly damage it has created due to defective ignition switches. The compensation is almost around $10 billion. What implications would it have on the company, in case it has to bear such costs? The Detroit automaker's woes seem endless. Let's take a sneak peak at the matter.
A Closer Look
The complaint was filed with the Federal Court in Riverside, California. It is a 71-page complaint which covers the vehicles sold after General Motors bankruptcy proceedings. As many as 20 million cars of General Motors have been recalled due to defective ignition switches. The largest American automaker did not pay any heed to the complaints of people all this while, and it resulted in loss of life and property. The resale value of the General Motors vehicles have come down by $500 to $2600 after the complaint was registered.
The lawsuit over General Motors recall is backed by a law firm called Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro. The case filed is a different one because it individually doesn't focus on General Motors, but it targets the company that has caused it older model vehicles to lose its resale value between $500 and $2600. First of all, they are trying to force the General Motors to pay to those 15 million cars and truck owners whose vehicles were recalled. There's no denying that the lawsuit has been very disturbing for General Motors, and is affecting its reputation in a big way.
The plaintiff for the case is Anna Andrews, who resides in California and owns a Buick LaCrosse. She says that if she knew about the defects of the cars owned by General Motors she would have either paid less for the car or would not have bought it altogether. Her lawsuit will claim an action for all those people who have owned General Motors car bought between July 10, 2009 and April 1, 2014.
General Motors is the top carmaker of the US and one of the leading automakers across the globe. This is why while discussing recalls they are using mild words such as "failed" or "bad". Over the years, the company has worked hard to build its reputation, and event as these put a blemish on the hard earned position. The tone is kept mild to ensure that a negative impact is not created on the company. Last year the company had earned $3.8 billion but the amount of compensation is much high as compared to the earning. Obviously, this is an issue of concern for the company.
Parting Thought
General Motors is facing a tough time now. The ongoing recalls are adding on to the cost of the company, but more importantly affecting the company's image which is priceless. This is very well reflected in the downward movement of the share price of General Motors. 13 deaths and 54 crashes have been reported with General Motors. If the company looked in to the matter with seriousness before only then all these mishaps could have been avoided. It wouldn't have had to pay such a huge price. Repairing costs associated to recalls would have a bearing on the earnings per share for this fiscal year. Investors could keep their fingers crossed for the rest of the year.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Is it still heating the food?
Thanks for using JustAnswer.com!
The problem you are describing sounds like it could be a number of things. Honestly I would not recommend any further use of the microwave until a serviceman checks the unit. You may have an issue with what's called a stir blade. This is what disperses the magnetron's energy evenly around inside the cabinet to heat the food. Any issues with this could cause radiation to escape from the microwave. This is not safe.
Best thing to do in your case is too have a professional check the unit. I hope this information has been helpful to you. You can still ask questions to me after you press the accept button. Please feel free to ask!
Thanks again for using JustAnswer.com
The reason for this repair to be done by a professional is because of the use of special equipment used to test the capacitor and diode. You cannot use a regular multimeter to test these. Also if you don't have the equipment to test for radiation leakage from around the microwave this could be hazardous to your family.
With the sparking you are hearing there may be internal damage to the coating of the microwave cavity. This was advised to you for your safety. Not because we didn't want to give you a complete answer.

Two Energy Plays Stay Attractive
Domestic energy production continues to grow at an impressive rate, even after six years of already significant production growth. Crude oil production increased by almost 800,000 barrels a day in 2012 over 2011 levels. This is the largest increase in crude oil since commercial production started in the U.S. in 1859.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts this will be surpassed in 2013, with another increase of at least 800,000 barrels a day. Moreover, the EIA predicts that the country will be producing just under 8 million barrels a day of crude by the end of 2014, which would be the highest level of overall domestic production since 1988....472 more words left in this article.

It's interesting to see the evolution of Internet stores. Back in 2000, some analysts were saying how Internet stores were just a fad, and could never compete with your local brick and mortar store. Now there are several industries that Internet sites dominate so well, that stores are vanishing from the landscape.
Blockbuster is getting pwnd by Netflix again since they raised their rates. Not to mention Netflix is always one step ahead. They were first to offer movie rentals over the mail and now they keep evolving with their service where you can view movies and TV shows online. They also are planning set top boxes for your TV to make delivery of movies even easier.
All record stores are getting pwnd by iTunes. Tower Records never had a chance. Other options such as Wal-Mart censor some of their selection, turning buyers off. There is also the piracy option of course.
I'm surprised Amazon hasn't taken over book stores. Places like Barnes & Noble and Borders do well only because yuppies have to have a place to be seen reading or using their laptop while they sip on their cappuccino. One day I believe they will meet their demise though.

Jagdish Prashad and his wife Vimla close their doors in the evening and open them only after they see people on the streets next morning.
The Prashads, who live in Janakpuri, west Delhi, are in their late 50s. They have good reason to be afraid.
On February 11, D S Mongia, 70, and his wife Santosh, 65, who lived in the same area, were found murdered in their house. The Mongias lived in B block, two streets ahead of the Prashads. Both families had a few things in common: they were elderly and lived alone. Both Mongia and Prashad were retired government servants.
Prashad had never really spoken to Mongia though they went for morning walks in the same park. Their conversation was limited to the occasional greeting.
When Prashad heard of the murder, he didn't pay a condolence visit. Instead, he locked himself in his house and asked his wife to be on the alert. The Prashads have stopped going for morning walks. They are more cautious of their servant Bhagwan, who has been with them for about five years. "You never know who is what," says Prashad.
On the morning of February 11, when the Mongias' maidservant Anita Rani reached their home, the door was locked. She found that strange since the car was in the porch. When she peeped inside a window, she saw two bodies lying in a pool of blood.
Santosh Mongia's throat has been slit, her husband had been stabbed in the abdomen. Jewellery and some cash was missing. Suspicion fell on the Nepali servant Deepak, who was also missing. Deepak had joined the Mongias two months earlier. To everyone's surprise, he returned in the evening, seemingly unaware of what had happened. The police arrested him. Nothing has been recovered so far.
"They [the Mongias] were quite popular," says Prashad. "Mongia's wife was quite active in social work. I had seen her a couple of times."
Since the murder, Prashad has asked his servant to report for work at 8 am; Bhagwan used to earlier come at 6 am.
"I make tea myself. I look outside the window and open the door only when I see a lot of movement outside. I don't even pick up the newspaper from the door unless Bhagwan comes," says Prashad, whose only son lives in the US. "My son is an engineer. He is in Texas on an assignment. He will be back in three months or so."
Prashad phones his son whenever he and his wife feel lonely. He also phones his relatives in Delhi, especially in the evening and at night.
On February 3, businessman Gauri Shankar Gupta's wife Vijaya, 50, was murdered at her home in Jangpura Extension, south Delhi. The criminals bashed her head against a wall before decamping with Rs 350,000 in cash and some jewellery. The Guptas lived alone; their relatives live across the road.
On February 5, robbers entered the house of 75-year-old Chandra Bhan Batra in Rajinder Nagar and tied his wife's hands. Batra discovered them when he returned home from shopping at around 7 pm, so they killed him and disappeared with the loot. The Batras lived alone. The children -- three daughters and a son -- were married and lived separately. On February 21, Delhi detectives arrested Sher Ali to Batra's murder. The Delhi police had announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for Sher Ali, who was arrested in the Kalyanpuri neighbourhood in east Delhi
On February 13, 65-year-old Surinder Chawla was strangled to death in his house in Naraina Vihar. Chawla, who was disabled, lived with his 21-year-old daughter Pragati.
Most of these murders took place during the night or early in the morning.
On February 14, the police arrested two workers -- Arun Kumar and Dharmender – for allegedly killing an elderly woman, Indira Kumar, in Vikaspuri. They apparently escaped with jewellery and cash.
Both the accused used to paint the victim's house and were known to her. Once they discovered she lived alone, they planned to kill her. Kumar's son lives in the US while her daughter works and lives in the neighbouring town of Gurgaon.
Two others -- Raju and Vikas -- allegedly helped in the murder. All four were residents of Bihar but were living and working in Delhi. The police claim to have recovered the stolen goods.
There were 500 murders in Delhi in 2003, 511 in 2002 and 547 in 2001. The city witnessed 18 murders of elderly couples last year and 21 in 2002. Out of the 18 murders last year, 11 took place in south Delhi, where mostly upper middle class and rich people live. The motive was mainly robbery; elderly people are soft targets, say the police.
Out of an estimated one million senior citizens in Delhi -- which is home to around 15 million people -- they have identified 3,740 elderly folk who need help.
A scheme was launched with the help of various Residents Welfare Associations -- neighbourhood action groups, which takes care of the neighbourhood -- under which police constables were supposed to visit these 3,740 vulnerable people. School children were roped in to interact with the elderly.
Retired army officer Arun Kumar, former president of the Sarita Vihar RWA, says: "There is no coordination with the police. They come for the meetings but there is no implementation of what has been decided. They are only interested in issuing advertisements and giving us dos and don'ts. This alone cannot solve the problem. We are trying to interact among ourselves more frequently. It is true that residents also have to be more responsible."
Deputy Commissioner of Police Tajinder Luthra counters this, saying: "We have identified senior citizens and monitor them. We have given strict orders to the beat constables to check every home and verify the servants."
Adds Additional Commissioner of Police P Kamaraj: "There have been some incidents in quick succession. But that does not mean crime is increasing." In his earlier post as deputy commissioner of police, south Delhi, Kamaraj had started a programme to greet senior citizens on the New Year.
"I had asked constables to prepare a list of senior citizens in my district. On New Year's day, the constables went with a rose and greeted them. It brought people closer to us and they felt very happy. We need that type of approach."

How quaint! A horse-drawn carriage ride on Las Vegas streets? How incredibly stupid for so many valid reasons.
To the City Council members who opposed the approval for this business, my thanks.
Regulations say the horses won't be used when temperatures go over 90 degrees. That's not acceptable. The council feels comfortable (in air conditioned digs) with a very high temperature level for horses pulling a rig weighing hundreds of pounds on pavement that escalates the 90 degree temperatures even higher.
How do you feel when it's 90 degrees outside? And you're not lugging very heavy equipment on pavement that burns bare feet wearing a nonremovable heavy coat as that sun beats down all day long!
Our City Council has approved yet another method to abuse animals in a city that already has its fair share of animals in awful entertainment situations. In Las Vegas, our children far too often see how adults treat animals as money-makers for greedy people!
It's time for the council to evolve, to take the high road and say no to this particular business operating here.

Remember Karate Kid, the film about a bullied boy who is taught how to defend himself by an old martial arts master? That's the image you get when you watch Bumbu Sauce's new song My Punjabi Love For You. In this case, however, the protagonist is a young woman who fights against a useless husband, a gangster landlord and corrupt policemen.
The four member Islamabad-based rock band launched their new song video at Café 76, in an open air set-up on April 17. Guest celebrities included Saqib Malik, Mohib Mirza, Kiran Aman, Anoushey Ashraf and Faizan Haq. Though the band members were nowhere in sight due to a personal tragic event, the director of the video, Adnan Malik and the star of the video, Aaminah Sheikh were at the venue to represent the launch. Malik also launched his production house Adnan Malik Productions (AMP) on the same day.
"I am really excited about this. It's not a traditional video — it's a hybrid piece," said Malik. "I hope it touches on the gender inequality issue in Pakistan."
The video shows a struggling young woman in a rural set-up, married to a good-for-nothing husband, who is at the mercy of his gangster landlord. After being mentally and physically harassed, she lands up in a shrine searching for answers. There, she meets a martial arts master who teaches her karate. After her training, she becomes fearless and is armed with a new wardrobe and attitude. She even has a motorbike!
Action-packed visuals
While the song itself is not catchy, it has elements of ethnic pop which Pakistani hardcore rock music fans will love. The video depicts a non-traditional Punjabi love story, in which the woman takes charge instead of the man.
Malik's take on the video is a reminder of Anurag Kashyapa's Dev D — an alternate narrative to Bollywood's quintessential love triangle Devdas. Malik attempts to break the stereotype of the bichari village girl by equipping her with the ability to use martial arts. Aaminah is almost like a Pakistani female superhero, who rises from darkness of mental and physical oppression, and trains with a gandassa in green fields to avenge the wrath of a male-dominant society.
The stars
In the video, award-winning actor Aaminah, is the demure and docile housewife who rebels against male dominance.
"We are so inspired by western cinema and kung fu culture but to embody it in a video like this was never done before," said Aaminah, who was brilliant in her role. "The aurat raj concept was like a dream come true. It was worth all the efforts." She added that Malik's way of telling a story is "unique", which "pumps up the energy in you".
The down-and-dirty landlord played by actor Adnan Jaffer in the video was not a character to rave about. With his tongue sliding out in most scenes, Jaffer just seemed awkward and out of character with his expressions and oversized shiny, satin kurtas. "I was told to unleash the monster inside," said Jaffer.
The making
"I heard the song about two years ago. I thought the grungy male voice and punk-Punjabi touch could be a fun action-based video," said Malik, the director. "I love the Pakistani film Aurat Raj, with Waheed Murad and Rani in reversed roles." Malik said he wanted to display something visually interesting and hired a martial arts trainer for Aaminah.
"In some sections of Pakistan, women are weak and their lives are controlled by men," said Malik. "I wanted to create a character that was strong."
Talking about the song, guitarist Master Jee Bumbu said, "It's a twist on the traditional Punjabi folk song. Here, there is a woman who fights for freedom." He adds that the woman is re-claiming power. "It is a polar opposite of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Aankhien Uddik Diyan. This is the first song that we all [the band] wrote together."

Brands take command in Dan River fall outing
August 25, 2003,
New York — Three Dan River brands will take center stage this market as the company applies finishing touches on its expansions of Alexander Julian, Lilly Pulitzer and Supreme Dimensions — its bed-in-a-bag line that debuted last spring.
The company's objective with Supreme Dimensions is to build a luxury product positioned as moderately priced that offers great color, pattern and quality. Its current bed-in-a-bag program now retails for $200 for king or queen and includes a 300-count ring-spun cotton sheet with 100 percent cotton outer bedding.
Dan River senior vp sales and marketing Louis Casali described the new brand focus as working together to serve a grander purpose. "All three brands bring a unique product to our luxury portfolio with high-end specifications and qualities," he explained. "They will help to position Dan River for luxury."
Some of the higher quality features will include extra deep pockets, extra wide flat sheets, 15" split-corner dust ruffles, 10 ounces of down-like fill and 110" x 96" dimensions on king comforters. "The whole reason we built this program is because we wanted to offer our customers more quality," said Casali.
Responding to a perceived void in the market, Dan River will introduce a line of simple, elegant and classic print bedding ensemble to serve as a sub brand for their printed collection. The new patterns are the masculine and conservative Laurel Crest and Harvard Stripe, as well as the feminine Shantelle and Sherbrooke florals.
Printed on a cotton twill that reverses to an English woven pin dot, Laurel Crest previewed in navy and putty as well as merlot and dune combinations. Harvard Stripe features a pinstripe that previewed in navy and putty as well as black and sand combinations that reverse to a mini windowpane design. Shantelle, which previewed in periwinkle, rose and silver, features a French floral print on pique that reverses to an all-over daisy pattern. Sherbrooke is another delicate yet less intricate French floral on pique.
Company executives said the prints will be marketed as comforter sets, but believe an independent sheet business is a natural fit for open stock and sheet sets. According to Casali, the intention is to expand since "Supreme Dimensions is a brand we can build out into other product categories."
As for Dan River's Alexander Julian line, which features the non-solid solid "water colours" pattern, the company is introducing six new colors to the palette for a total of 17 colors. They are bluegrass, Caribbean, grenadine, juniper, onyx and pacific. Dan River will also be offering diamond quilted mitered-cuff comforters with a complementary water colours background in six different color combinations as well as coverlets in all 17 colors and reversible coverlets in six colors.
But the most exciting addition to the casual contemporary palette has to be the two varieties of horizontal umbrae stripe in neutral spice and vivid beach tones for sheets, comforters and pillow shams.
Comforters will run $79 for twin, $99 for queen and $129 for king, while open-stock sheets start at $9.99 for twin and go up to $39.99 for king. Pillowcases will range from $19.99 to $24.99. Constructions will be 300-count ring-spun cotton.
In line with the new emphasis, the company recently made style, design and pricing changes to the Lilly Pulitzer line, which Dan River will display in its own showroom for the first time this market. It's positioning the line similarly to the upper end for designer home collections. The program will consist of comforters, window treatments, freestanding decorative pillows, throws, quilts, ceramic bath accessories and bath mats.
"We've found that layering is very important to this consumer since she might not change her bedding ensemble all together, but will add to it," explained Geri Wetmore, vp lifestyle brand marketing and new business development.

New Zealand's credit rating downgraded
Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's has cut New Zealand's rating from AA+ to AA, after a similar downgrade by rival agency Fitch this morning.
S&P has had New Zealand on negative outlook since late last year.
The downgrades reflect global concerns about foreign debt and New Zealand's high private sector debt, Finance Minister Bill English says.
The Government had focused on bringing New Zealand through the global economic crisis and the cost of the Canterbury earthquakes.
New Zealand's private savings had started to increase but still remained high, he said.
Compared to other countries New Zealand had come through the recession reasonably well and the downgrade reflected the "unusual position" of high private and low public debt.
S&P said it cut the rating because of the likelihood that New Zealand's external debt would get worse when the Government is having to spend more as a result of the Christchurch quake.
The new rating reflected S&P's opinion of the country's government spending and monetary policy flexibility, economic resilience and sound banking sector.
But those strengths were "moderated" by New Zealand's "very high external imbalances" with high household and farm sector debt, dependence on commodity prices and the pressures on government spending from an ageing population.
Big banks' credit profiles in New Zealand were expected to remain sound and for New Zealand to remain a core market for the big Australia banks.
The strength of the government's finances was also an important factor lessening the risks from high overall external debts.
Fitch Ratings cut the country's rating by one notch because of concern about growing external debt in a volatile global economy.
It lowered the rating to AA from AA+ and said it was unlikely New Zealand would be able to sustainably narrow its current account deficit over the next few years.
The Fitch move sent a message about the country's savings habits which cannot be ignored, fund manager Tower said.
Sam Stubbs, head of investment management at Tower, said it was another good argument for KiwiSaver to be made compulsory.
New Zealand was borrowing too much money from overseas and the ratings agencies would not feel comfortable until they saw a bigger pool of domestic savings.
''Their views cannot be dismissed.''
The simplest way to do this was to increase KiwiSaver contributions over time.
What was missing was a long term mutually agreed strategy on the superannuation scheme, so that all parties - employers, employees, governments - could plan ahead.
''If it becomes a short term political football its contribution to things like what the ratings agencies think of us gets diminished.
''Saving is a habit and habits take time to develop.''
New Zealand's borrowing requirements would not change, but if it borrowed domestically it was in a far less vulnerable position, Stubbs said.
Labour attacked the Government over the downgrade and said it was evidence of National's economic failure.
Party leader Phil Goff said it was a result of the Government borrowing to pay for its tax cuts and showed it had failed to make the hard decisions needed to fix the imbalances in the economy.
Comments by Prime Minister John Key about "muddling through" the latest turmoil on international financial markets were not good enough, he said.
Labour's finance spokesman David Cunliffe said Finance Minister Bill English did not convince Fitch, when he met the agency in Washington last week, that National had cohesive economic plan to control debt and promote growth and savings.
"National has decisively failed the standard it set itself that the primary objective of its budgets was to avoid the credit rating downgrade that happened this morning."
"Instead National has preferred to muddle through by closing its eyes to these structural issues and
Giving trickle-down tax cuts to the wealthy had worsened New Zealand's structural problems of high private debt and the widening current account deficit, he said.
"The knee-jerk, short-term response of SOE asset sales does not solve these problems and has not reassured Fitch."
The downgrade was a vote of no confidence in Key and his Government's policies, Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said.
He said a worsening outlook for the current account deficit was largely due to high levels of foreign ownership in New Zealand.
A recent jump in the deficit, to $7.2b, was due to dividends being paid overseas and explained the timing of the downgrade, he said.
"John Key's Government has failed to address the unsustainably high levels of overseas ownership of the New Zealand economy. In fact, their plans to sell state-owned companies will only make matters worse."
The downgrade recognised the "significant vulnerabilities" in the economy.
ACT Leader Don Brash said he had been saying for months New Zealand was too dependent on foreign borrowing.
The Government had not done enough to improve New Zealand's growth prospects or to cut back on Government spending and taxation.
"The Government has dropped the ball here."
Westpac Bank said it was hard to know what "new" information led to the downgrade.
There has been speculation that the trigger was weaker than expected June quarter growth of just 0.1 per cent, combined with the higher costs estimates for the Canterbury earthquake.
However, Fitch noted the New Zealand rating was supported by "fiscal prudence" and government finances here were stronger than many countries.
But the higher costs of the Christchurch quake could set back the government's plan to return the books to surplus by 2014/15.
Fitch focussed on the risks from New Zealand's relatively high level of external debt. The current account deficit was expected to worsen to 4.9 per cent of gross domestic product next year and then to 5.5 per cent in 2013.
However, Westpac pointed out that Fitch expected in 2009 that New Zealand's net debt would hit 100 per cent of GDP this year, but in fact it has improved and is now about 70 per cent of GDP down from a peak of 85 per cent of GDP, with a temporary boost from insurance payouts for the Canterbury quake.
In theory, a lower credit rating will increase the cost of borrowing in New Zealand, pushing government bond rates up and leading to a lower New Zealand dollar.
Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank said the Fitch downgrade reflected concerns about high external debt levels, in the context of a recent global financial market turmoil.
International borrowing costs could rise by 5 to 10 basis points as a result of the downgrade, Deutsche Bank said, but that would be more for long-term borrowing.
New Zealand still remained highly rated and a sought after investment destination, with the government's Debt Management Office borrowing $1 billion just yesterday.

Hi everyone. Time for a fresh Crisis Center to start the evening session on Rod Laver Arena, where Rafael Nadal will play Gilles Simon. Please keep your comments focused on the tennis until after the match is over.
We've just finished watching the match between Fernando Verdasco and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Verdasco's imperious form today secured him the victory over four sets, and has also ensured that this year's Australian Open will have at least one new face in the men's final - the match between Nadal and Simon will determine whether that face will definitely belong to a Spaniard or to a bolter (I believe that's the Aussie term for the rather traditional appearance of an unexpected high-performer in the final). We already know that there will be at least one new face in the women's final: Serena Williams is the only former champion left in the draw, and none of the other contenders have previously reached the final here.
As always, enjoy the rest of the day's tennis.

Douglas helps Fever beat Storm 72-48
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Katie Douglas scored 16 points and the Indiana Fever forced a franchise-record 28 turnovers in a 72-48 victory over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday night.
Tamika Catchings added 13 points, seven rebounds and a season-high six steals for the Fever (20-9), who have won eight of nine. The Fever are 10-2 since the Olympic break and remain in contention for the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Svetlana Abrosimova had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Storm (13-16).
Seattle played without its starting backcourt. Point guard Sue Bird, the Storm's leading scorer, rested and Tanisha Wright did not play because of a groin strain.
Seattle center Lauren Jackson finished with four points on 2-for-10 shooting and committed seven turnovers.

Reduce, reuse, borrow, barter, choose cheaper alternatives, break bad habits, grow your own or do without. Spend less. Live a better life. Welcome to Recession 2.0.
Living Lightly is a timely and illuminating six-part series that follows three Irish families who must revolutionise the cost and quality of their lives. All three families are living way beyond their means and for the next ninety days they'll be advised, monitored and mentored by two sympathetic taskmasters Conor Pope and Ella McSweeney. Their goal: to forget what they want but simply can't afford anymore and focus on what they actually need. To live more and pay less.
Conor Pope is an author, broadcaster and journalist. He has been highlighting rip-offs, offering independent product reviews and showing people how to live more for less for over five years. He has also written a best selling book on how people can save thousands of euro each year without draining the colour and joy from their lives.
Ella McSweeney is a television presenter and also works in RTÉ
radio. Since joining RTE in 2004 from the BBC, Ella has made a variety of radio series including the walking series Shanks Mare, The Green Light, Farm Week, RTE's Big Science Debate, award-winning Mind Matters and documentaries for RTÉ's Documentary on One slot. Since 2008 she has presented Ear to the Ground, RTE's farming television series. In her spare time, Ella happily spends her time growing food and developing her garden, and learning about self sufficiency and sustainability.
Des and Mary O'Connor live in Longford with their four daughters Isobel, Camilla, Alicia and Imogen. With levies and cuts their income does not stretch as far as it used to and Des and Mary who have always had difficulty saying 'no' to their four daughters have no choice but to reduce their spending by a third.
Laura and Dave McArdle and their three children from Stepaside have seen their comfortable life change overnight. Dave is an electrician and until work dried up at the end of last year he, Laura and the children only ever knew good times. Laura works part time in a preschool. For the first time in their lives they are behind with bills and are waiting on social welfare.
Paul and Maria McGregor from Howth are about to celebrate the arrival of their fourth child. Paul is a stay at home Dad, he took redundancy from the bank three years. Maria is a pilot working part time with Aer Lingus. They did well in the boom years and Maria was able to take extended unpaid maternity leave with her last two children and would like to do the same with this baby. However things are not the same, they can't borrow like they used to, their savings are gone and some serious changes need to be made.

The value of mortality risk reduction is an important component of the benefits of environmental policies. In recent years, the number, scope, and quality of valuation studies have increased dramatically. Revealed-preference studies of wage compensation for occupational risks, on which analysts have primarily relied, have benefited from improved data and statistical methods. Stated-preference research has improved methodologically and expanded dramatically. Studies are now available for several health conditions associated with environmental causes, and researchers have explored many issues concerning the validity of the estimates.With the growing numbers of both types of studies, several meta-analyses have become available that provide insight into the results of both methods. Challenges remain, including better understanding of the persistently smaller estimates from statedpreference than from wage-differential studies and of how valuation depends on the individual's age, health status, and characteristics of the illnesses most frequently associated with environmental causes.

NAPA >> City officials were still busy on Monday surveying the extent of significant damage — in the millions of dollars according to many estimates — sustained in the aftermath of Sunday's devastating 6.0 earthquake centered just six miles southwest of Napa.
The quake shook the city and much of its surrounding areas at about 3:20 a.m. Sunday.
On Monday, a city announcement stated the city "is now moving into the recovery phase and remains focused on providing for public safety, restoring services, and assessing damage."
The city reported 208 patients have been treated at Queen of the Valley Hospital, including 17 admitted patients. No new quake-related patients were seen after 11 p.m. Sunday, officials said.
Sixty building inspectors were surveying structures all over the city and had red-tagged 70 buildings, including the senior center, Second Street post office and a library. Nearly 200 structures were yellow-tagged.
However, all Pacific Gas and Electric customers in the city have had their powers turned on by Monday.
Napa Valley Unified School District schools' closures will continue Tuesday, although Napa Valley College resumed its sessions as usual Monday. Justin-Siena High School also announced that it will reopen Tuesday.
Officials said those who have lost their water service should drink and cook with bottled water, or boil tap water for at least a minute before consumption. There are also water stations set throughout the city located on Pearl Street one block west of Main, and at the Las Flores Center on Linda Vista Avenue, city officials said.
Fifteen people spent Sunday night at the evacuation center set up by American Red Cross at the Crosswalk Community Church.
Allstate Insurance Company announced that it will set up a Mobile Claims Center beginning Tuesday to help policyholders. The unit will be deployed at Crosswalk Community Church, 2590 First St. Napa. Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Visit www.allstate.com/catastrophe/Mobile-Response-Units.aspx for updated location and hours.
Although bridges in the area have been declared as safe to use, Napa police announced Monday night that the Tallgrass Bridge and the new Coombs Street pedestrian bridge have been closed due to damage.
Residents can get up-to-date information about the status of the city following the earthquake at the city's public information hotline at 707-258-7817, or visit cityofnapa.org.

Book examines attrition, completion rates in Ph.D. humanities programs
Mary Catt
Adequate funding, clear department expectations and regular counseling with advisers can go a long way in improving times-to-degree and attrition rates in doctoral programs in the humanities, reports a Cornell higher education expert and first author of a major new study.
And, finishing the degree in six or seven years rather than longer is positively associated with the chances that graduates will get tenure-track jobs and publish their research, says Cornell's Ronald G. Ehrenberg, who has authored a new book with three colleagues on their study that tracked a 10-year effort to improve Ph.D.-level humanities education.
The study and the book, "Educating Scholars: Doctoral Education in the Humanities" (Princeton University, December 2009), also found that single or married women -- with or without children at the time of entry to graduate school -- take no longer than single men to earn such doctorates.
Ehrenberg, Cornell's Irving M. Ives Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and Economics and director of the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute, and his team examined the Graduate Education Initiative of the Mellon Foundation. The foundation spent $85 million from 1991 to 2001 to enable 54 humanities departments at 10 universities -- including Cornell -- to improve the structure, organization and funding of their Ph.D. programs while maintaining or improving the quality of education they offered.
Funds supported planning, student support, endowments, challenge grants and data collection.
Among the findings:
Neither speedy completion (in three to five years) nor unhurried completion (in eight or more years) are as preferable as finishing the degree within the period between the two extremes, Ehrenberg said.
"Perhaps the most heartening lesson learned" from the study, Ehrenberg wrote recently in the Chronicle of Higher Education, "is that raising awareness of how much attrition there is and how long degrees actually take can stimulate thoughtful review of programs and sensible decisions to change them."
The book was co-authored by Harriet Zuckerman, senior vice president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and professor emerita of sociology at Columbia University; Jeffrey A. Groen, research economist at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; and Sharon M. Brucker, project coordinator at the Survey Research Center of Princeton University.
Mary Catt is a staff writer at the ILR School .

This is to cordially request the presence of your media representatives at the Press Briefing, in the seminar on Occupational Health and Safety: "Impact 99%, together we can change", followed by lunch.
The experiences between GIZ and Western Marine Shipyard have proven that improvements are possible to strengthen the health of its workforce and the quality of working environment. Due to this successful collaboration Western Marine Shipyard now has attained a renowned international standard in workplace health and safety and injury rates have dropped by 99%. WMS is the first shipyard, and one of the few businesses in Bangladesh to obtain this. This has increased their competiveness, market positioning and thus profitability.
At this critical moment, as stakeholders are striving to make garment factories safer, the occupational health and safety approach and frameworks developed within the GIZ – Western Marine collaboration have significant potential to be transferred to other business sectors in Bangladesh and contribute meaningfully to the national occupational health debate.
The German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development selected this occupational health and safety approach as a best practice in German Development Cooperation and assisted to develop a publication "Healthy business, healthy workers, healthy communities". GIZ, the German Development Cooperation, together with Western Marine Shipyard, aims to bring together stakeholders to share valuable experiences and lessons learned of this collaboration, and come up with critical recommendations and a way forward to improve the workplace health and safety situation in Bangladesh.

Topics: Store and Protect Information
Converting your paper-based records into electronic documents can yield
tremendous benefits: reducing physical records storage requirements, streamlining
access and distribution of information across your organization, and
reducing records management costs.
But there are many pitfalls that can undermine the effectiveness of an imaging
solution. Relying on Iron Mountain's expertise, you can implement a new
document conversion program — or redesign your current program — confident
of achieving your goals without the capital investment, long lead times and
uncertain outcomes of an in-house solution.
An Iron Mountain solution allows you to:
Scanning 100 percent of your documents may not provide the most cost-effective solution for your situation. Iron Mountain solutions provide intelligent scanning, based on the access requirements for different types of documents.
Frequently accessed documents or document elements — such as the customized coverage page of an insurance policy — are always scanned. Documents that are rarely accessed are not scanned until they are actually requested; they are then quickly delivered through our Image On Demand™ service. A well-designed, selective scanning program can yield dramatic reductions in conversion costs while meeting document access requirements.
If you have a backlog of paper records that are costly to store and manage, Iron Mountain can help you establish a fast, efficient process and perform bulk conversion of those records to electronic form. Backfile conversion reduces or eliminates on-site physical records storage and makes records easier to search, access and distribute.
Proprietary web-based tools provide an efficient way to identify unneeded records so they can be safely purged, without requiring your staff to physically examine the contents of every box.
While many types of records are initially created on paper, companies often want to quickly convert them to electronic form to support electronic workflow processes. Iron Mountain experts can help you establish a conversion process that integrates smoothly with your existing business processes. We can handle document conversion as an in-house or outsourced solution.
Image on Demand provides a cost-effective conversion solution for paper-based documents that have low retrieval needs. Rather than scanning all documents, which can be costly — and is often unnecessary — you can outsource a complete document library to Iron Mountain, with users only requesting specific documents "on demand", as needed. Those documents are quickly retrieved, scanned and made available within hours. This "pay as you go" service minimizes costs by only digitizing requested documents.
Tools for desktop document capture allow you to efficiently
image documents from widely distributed locations and
make them available for retrieval by your end users.
Documents are indexed and bar-coded by those who know
them best — your knowledge workers — as part of standard
workflow processes. Documents are then locally converted
to image using a scanner, photo copier, or fax and sent to
an Iron Mountain server and made available for search and
retrieval. The document capture process stays under your
control, with the documents kept in-house while they are
being processed.
X-ray on Demand (XOD) is a digitization service for
healthcare organizations storing radiology films with
Iron Mountain. When a specific X-ray study is requested,
Iron Mountain retrieves, digitizes, and converts the film to
a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
format. It is then indexed, encrypted for security, and sent
to the customer's Picture Archiving and Communications
Systems (PACS) or an Iron Mountain hosted PACS archive
for immediate viewing, downloading, or printing.
We can also plan and manage a high-volume, backfile
scanning project to digitize your library of x-ray films.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Broward Sheriff's Office deputy took the stand Monday and described the day he was shot in the head during a traffic stop last year.
David Maldonado, 25, is accused of shooting Deputy Maury Hernandez when Hernandez pulled him over in Pembroke Park in August 2007.
Maldonado is charged with first-degree attempted murder and could face life in prison if convicted. He has pleaded not guilty.
Broward County State Attorney Michael Satz is handling the prosecution's case. He told jurors that Hernandez was driving an unmarked car and wearing plain clothes with his police badge around his neck when he confronted Maldonado in a parking lot for allegedly speeding.
Satz said Maldonado identified himself as an Opa-Locka police officer, but when Hernandez asked him for identification, Maldonado pushed him and ran away.
When Hernandez chased him, Satz said, Maldonado turned and fired two shots at Hernandez from a .45-caliber handgun. One bullet struck Hernandez in the side of the head.
"Devastating injuries. As a matter of fact, there are two fragments still in Deputy Hernandez's head," Satz said.
Hernandez made what doctors called a miraculous recovery from his injuries and said he hopes to return to the force one day.
Hernandez, who suffered permanent brain damage, was among the first witnesses on Monday. He said he remembered that Maldonado pushed him before running away, and then he recounted the final seconds before he was shot.
"That individual sitting right over there turned around, pointed a gun at me, and I remember my reflexes when I saw the gun, and I saw the muzzle flashing of the gun. I remember I went like this, and that's the last I remember," said Hernandez, demonstrating how he moved.
Defense attorneys also gave their opening statements Monday morning. They said they would try to show that Hernandez did not properly identify himself as a BSO deputy. They also said that the bullet fragments in Hernandez's head were not necessarily from the bullets that came from Maldonado's gun. The defense attorneys did not say who might have shot Hernandez if Maldonado did not, but they are trying to cast doubt in the minds of the jury members.

My family was one of the nine families in the original group to receive the goats; others prefer to get pigs and poultry. First, I was not confident to raise goat because I did not have experience of raising these animals. Finally, I am comfortable to raise goats after I have learned techniques and skills from the Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) at my village who were introduced to us by Heifer Cambodia and Chetthor (village). There are available feedings for the goats to eat in my village, which I never knew of before I attended the trainings.
Raising goats does not [mean spending] a lot of money for buying their feed. I grow the goats' feed on my land so it is enough for the goats to eat. Sometimes I collect grass around the village and at the rice field for the goats to eat. After four or five months, the female goats gave birth. Each goat gave birth to a baby goat and in the next four or five months, the same female goat gave birth to another baby goat.
It is not difficult to sell goats. The traders come to buy goats from me at my house. Nowadays, my father raises goats because he sees the profit from goat raising. Many other villagers do the same.
My family and I are grateful to Heifer and Chetthor for their good deed. I never forget to thank them. I look after these precious gifts very well with my husband and my children.

There's a small amount of mayo spread over the fish to keep the topping on, and that also keeps the fish moist when it's baked at a high temperature. It's important to start with room-temperature fish pieces, so the fish cooks quickly without the topping ingredients getting too done. If green olives are a non-starter at your house, try it with capers instead, but please try this way of cooking fish if you like these flavors and I bet it will become a repeater at your house too!
Baked white fish with Onions, Peppers, Olives, and Feta
(Makes 2-3 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
2 or 3 medium-sized uniformly-thick white fish filets
(I usually use Tilapia, but you can use other fish such as halibut, orange roughy, cod, or sole)
1/2 T olive oil (or less, depending on your pan)
1/2 cup very finely diced red pepper
1/4 cup very finely diced red onion (or sweet white onion)
1/4 cup very finely diced green olives (or try chopped capers if you're not a fan of green olives)
1/3 cup crumbled Feta (or less if you're not wild about feta)
1-2 T mayo or lite mayo (I would not use fat-free mayo, which usually has added sugar.)

Erwin Wurm "One Minute Sculptures" @ Open Eye Gallery, LiverpoolJune 19, 2012
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, probably one of the most innovative contemporary artists we can think of that can seemlessly involve conceptual, sculptural, installation, and mixed media works all into one piece, is set to revisit and showcase his late 1990's project, One Minute Sculptures, at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool, England.
From the Gallery: "Since the late 1990s Wurm has been developing One Minute Sculptures, an ongoing series in which we see the artist or his models pose in spontaneous ways with everyday items, inserting pencils in ears, propping chairs on eyes, and bringing a host of inanimate objects to life. Open Eye Gallery is proud to present a selection of eighteen photographs of Wurm's earliest One Minute Sculptures, made in the late 1990s.
The exhibition runs from June 22—September 22, 2012.

What happens to former stars once they pass their prime? Unfortunately in professional sports, most become ring-chasers.
Let me define a ring-chaser: An older player, usually a former superstar or at least an All-Star, who is past his prime and decides to join a championship contender knowing he won't be a major factor in his new team winning a title.
I mean, look at what's going on right now in Miami. Ever since the "Super Friends" joined forces, now you got ex-superstars like Penny Hardaway, Stephon Marbury and most recently Steve Francis are all trying to hop on the bandwagon and become official ring-chasers. With that being said, here are the five worst ring-chasers of all-time:
5. Stephon Marbury (Celtics, 2009) — Marbury's late-season signing was widely considered a failure because the Celtics were his chance to redeem himself and make up for his tarnished image. Not only did the Celtics not win the NBA championship that year, they didn't even make it back to the finals (as they lost to Orlando in the second round). Also, one can see this as a failure because Marbury hasn't seen an NBA roster since.
4. Shaquille O'Neal (2010) — Shaq was traded to the Suns ('08) and Cavs ('09), so it wasn't really ring-chasing then, but now this summer the Big Fella is doing what vets used to do to his powerful Lakers teams. Still available on the free-agent market, Shaq apparently only wants to sign with a contender, and recently said he was most interested in the Celtics in an effort to get his fifth championship.
3. Kevin Willis (Spurs, 2003) — At 40 years old, the former All-NBA performer signed on with San Antonio in an effort to get the ring that eluded him as Dominique Wilkins' sidekick in Atlanta and several other stops. Willis was once among the NBA's leading rebounders, but with the Spurs grabbed just 3.2 boards in 11 minutes a night. He got his ring when the Spurs beat the Nets in the Finals, but Willis only played 25 minutes total in the playoffs.
2. Mitch Richmond (Lakers, 2001) — He once graced the cover of NBA Live 97, but as Richmond's career began to dwindle down, and with the Wizards being nowhere near a championship contender, Richmond took his talents to L.A. Going from making $10 million to just $1 million, Richmond did at least win an NBA championship, but I'm not sure L.A. even needed him. He only played four minutes total during the playoffs.
1. Karl Malone & Gary Payton (Lakers, 2004) — In the same summer that D-Wade, LeBron and Chris Bosh joined the NBA, "The Mailmain" and "The Glove" pulled an original Super-Friends move, joining up with Kobe and Shaq in L.A. to form a super-team on paper. GP and Malone both started for the Lakers, but considering they each used to be The Man in Seattle and Utah, respectively, it was a tough adjustment going to being the 3rd or 4th option. The Lakers lost in the '04 Finals to Detroit, leaving Malone to finish his career without a championship. Payton later won a ring with Miami in '06.
