In fall Apple season, rival phone makers struggle
By Peter Svensson, AP Friday, September 7, 2012, 12:19 am TWN
NEW YORK--It's shaping up to be a cold fall for smartphone makers other than Apple, as the trendsetter of the phone industry gears up to release the next iPhone.
Nokia and Motorola, which a few years ago were the No. 1 and No. 2 phone makers, revealed new phones at back-to-back press events in New York on Wednesday. They appeared hurrying to show them off before Apple makes its iPhone announcement next week.
The phones are impressive in their own right and sport improvements from previous models, but analysts didn't see anything about them that would change the prospect of an iPhone-dominated holiday season.
For Nokia Corp., the new phones are especially crucial. They're the first to run Windows Phone 8, and the Finnish company is hinging its turnaround strategy on an alliance with Microsoft. But the reveal fell flat with investors, as Nokia's stock plunged 16 percent on Wednesday.
Nokia's new flagship phone is the Lumia 920. The lenses on its camera shift to compensate for shaky hands, resulting in sharper images in low light and smoother video capture, Nokia said. It can also be charged without being plugged in; the user just places it on a wireless charging pod.
Nokia also unveiled a cheaper, mid-range phone, the Lumia 820. It doesn't have the special camera lenses, but it sports exchangeable backs so you can switch colors.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the new phones will go on sale in the fourth quarter in "select markets." He didn't say what they would cost or which U.S. carriers would have them. AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA have been selling the earlier Lumia phones.
Investors seem to have expected more specifics, or an earlier launch. Nokia shares fell 45 cents to US$2.38 in New York. The stock is trading at the same level it had in the mid-1990s.
Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney said the new phones were impressive, but he thought that Microsoft was killing the buzz by holding back on details about Windows 8.
"The hardware is gorgeous, but Microsoft didn't do a good job of telling the rest of the story" Dulaney said.
He suspects Microsoft and Nokia announced the Lumia phones early in an attempt to steal some thunder from the next iPhone.
"Microsoft should have spent more time filling in the holes for this product release instead of worrying so much about what Apple was going to do," Dulaney said.
Neil Mawston, an analyst with Strategy Analytics, said Nokia's new smartphones held no real surprises and lacked a "wow" factor.
"The devices that were launched were more of an evolution rather than a revolution," Mawston said. "This was a baby step for Nokia and Microsoft and not really a giant leap like some were hoping."
Nokia launched its first Windows phones late last year under the Lumia brand, as the first fruits of Elop's alliance with Microsoft. Those ran Windows Phone 7 software, which is effectively being orphaned in the new version. The older phones can't be upgraded, and they won't be able to run all applications written for Windows Phone 8.
Nokia sold 4 million Lumia phones in the second quarter, far fewer than the 26 million iPhones that Apple Inc. sold during those three months. So far, the line hasn't helped Nokia halt its sales decline: Its global market share shrunk from the peak of 40 percent in 2008 to 29 percent in 2011, and it is expected to dwindle further this year.

Chapel Hill Town Council will discuss food truck sanitation
Food trucks differ from brick-and-mortar restaurants in many ways, from target clientele to their lack of permanent address.
But there is one standard food industry leaders say the two should be held equally accountable to: sanitation.
As the Chapel Hill Town Council holds a public hearing on possible changes to the town's food trucks ordinance tonight, some restaurant owners are challenging the measure not just because it could bring new competition, but also because they say the food vendors might be unsanitary.
Rob Moll, an owner of R&R Grill on Franklin Street, said he doesn't think food trucks are equipped to safely prepare food.
Moll said his restaurant takes extra safety precautions when preparing food that he thinks food trucks don't.
"We have fresh running water, and our utensils are washed with high temperature dishwashers," he said. "They're in a truck; where are they supposed to have space for that?"
Tom Konsler, environmental health director for the Orange County Health Department, said food trucks are required to follow the same rules as traditional restaurants when handling food.
Regulations governing food temperature, where food comes from, garbage disposal and the handling of equipment and utensils apply to both restaurants and food trucks, he said.
But Konsler said while traditional restaurants are required to post a letter grade of their sanitation score, food trucks sanitation are graded on a pass/fail scale.
If Chapel Hill's ordinance passes as drafted, it would require food trucks to have health department approval for the restaurant that supplies the truck, and make plumbing and electrical connections in accordance with state code.
Isabel Guzman, owner of Captain Poncho's Tacos food truck in Carrboro, said she thinks food truck vendors keep a clean and safe environment.
She said she has had experience running a traditional restaurant and thinks the sanitation standards of her truck are at the same level as restaurants.
"Now that I'm the owner of a food truck, it's all the same rules," she said.
Council member Penny Rich said she acknowledges that food trucks' sanitation is a concern for some, but she thinks the complaint is incorrect.
Rich said she supports passing the ordinance and allowing food trucks downtown, which council has discussed for almost a year.
Town staff recommends that the council revisit the topic in January, but if the council chooses to pass it earlier, the ordinance could go into effect by Jan. 1.
Hillsborough passed a similar ordinance allowing food trucks last week, and Chapel Hill has looked for guidance from Carrboro's food truck ordinance during its discussions.
"We're a little behind the curve on this one," Rich said. "I think we need to have a strong ordinance, but we need to catch up."

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 10, 2012
After becoming acquainted with more and more of her ugly Christmas sweater customers, Nancy Schloetel, the owner of Not Your Average Sweater.com, realized that many of her customers were attending ugly Christmas sweater parties in groups. In an effort to help with their wacky sweater shopping needs, Nancy came up with the idea of adding a new sweater category to her shop. Thus, her themed sweaters focused on the 12 Days of Christmas were born. (But trust me, her ideas dont follow what typically comes to mind when you think of this holiday carol favorite!)
Ive had families shopping on my site looking for sweaters to wear for their family photo Christmas cards; engaged couples looking for sweaters for photo montages on their wedding websites; one book club wanted to wear look-a-like sweaters to a party they were attending together; and I even helped a department of co-workers who all wanted to dress alike for their companys holiday office party, states Nancy Schloetel. Luckily, I was able to accommodate their requests by providing sweaters that shared a common trait, but since my adorned sweaters are almost exclusively one-of-a-kinds, it was sometimes a tall order. Many of Schloetels sweaters have been adorned with toys, odd corsages, sections of t-shirts, tree ornaments, wooden figures, full-sized Christmas stockings, stuffed animals, door hangers, board games (yes, I said board games), glittery holly centerpieces, oven mitts, advent calendars, sequin purses, plastic candles, greeting cards, a stuffed guitar, a collapsible plastic laundry rack (complete with holiday socks and underwear), strings of blinking Christmas lights, and more. My sweaters are all hand selected, and the items I add to them are gems that I find in every section of the thrift stores where I shop. She decorates her sweaters with found objects, so creating duplicates is seldom an option.
As a work-around to provide sweater sets for her customers, Nancy came up with the idea of themed sweaters. Choose a theme to follow, and then even individual, one-of-a-kind sweaters become cohesive. The 12 Days of Christmas seemed like a perfect fit as a sweater theme. Once I let my imagination run with the idea, it was fun to see how I could work the items I was finding into the 12 days theme. Swans-a-swimming brought swimming gear to mind. Maids a milking opened up the option to sew on some playful stuffed cows. Turtledoves became Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with bird wings (of course). Birds-a-calling certainly required telephones. Lords-a-leaping are sometimes depicted as crocodiles, skateboarders, knights, or even an articulated Ken doll wearing a jabot and knee breeches and leaping across a green sweater. And the partridge in a pear tree? Make it Danny Partridge, and Nancys happy to sew it onto one of her sweaters. They arent your average 12 Days of Christmas items, but thats what makes them odd enough to be perfect on an ugly Christmas sweater. And, after all, says Schloetel with a grin, They have to be worthy of a spot in an eShop named Not Your Average Sweater, right?
Once you begin to read through Nancys blog (http://www.NotYourAverageSweater.com/blog/) and watch her how-to videos (http://www.youtube.com/UglySweaterGal), you soon learn that coming up with group sweater ideas isnt the only way in which shes dedicated to helping her customers. Her posts and videos include a wide range of party suggestions, from recipes, party games and activities, to decorating ideas. Her tips will help anyone from the novice to the experienced sweater party host throw an even more successful holiday party. Youll even find great sweater uglifying tips, however Nancy prefers calling her sweaters whimsical, but concedes that, Calling these sweaters ugly is really a shame, but Im afraid its the term thats stuck, and is here to stay.
About Not Your Average Sweater:
The Not Your Average Sweater eShop offers ugly Christmas sweaters for holiday parties. Choose from hundreds of previously enjoyed, adult-sized sweaters ranging from quaint and charming, to hideously ugly (with lots of added extras you won't find anywhere else). Find great accessory and ensemble pieces (like patterned turtlenecks, holiday vests and blazers, along with plaid skirts, kilts, shorts and pants) to take your next ugly Christmas sweater look into the best-dressed (or would that be worst-dressed?) winners circle.

That was how he climaxed, his penis hardened beyond what I had ever seen before; and the sperm shooting out in copious streams against my hanging tits rather than oozing out of a semi-hard pecker.
* * * * * * *
With one long-term lover I got used to cum on my breasts and pooled up in that little indentation -- what's it called -- at the base of my neck.
I was stationed at a small American Embassy is a quiet and obscure African country.There wasn't much to do, unfortunately, even though I was at my sexual and physical peak.At 37 years old, I worked out a lot and was in the best shape of my life -- a slender 140 pounds on my large 5' 8" frame.Unfortunately, my sex life was not in such good shape. I was going through one of those dry periods of weeks or even months between lovers.
One day, however, a ray of sun peeped out of the cloudy sky of my enforced chastity.Abraham was coming to town!He asked me to pick him up at the airport when he arrived.Abe was a well-known scholar and author, 45 years old and married -- but his wife was back in the States.That made him fair game.To my way of thinking, infidelity doesn't count if the spouse is more than a thousand miles away. You've heard of men with a girl in every port.Well, I'm that girl.Once divorced and with no serious prospects for a LTR I enjoy sex when and where I can get it.
Abe and I had had "sex" several times during his previous visits to the country. I put the word in quotes because, although witty and good company, Abe was one of the most inept lovers I ever encountered. He was enthusiastic enough -- but it took forever to get him to rise to the occasion. And then, an erection finally achieved, he wilted like a lettuce leaf in a hot oven when I tried to slide a condom on him.It was unprotected sex or nothing with Abe -- not that I recall he ever lasted hard long enough to actually get his penis inside me. Ejaculation without erection.
I worked late the night Abe was scheduled to arrive.I had a financial report to complete.Everybody had left the Embassy except me and one Marine guard.The Marine usually stayed at Post One near the front door, but he also periodically patrolled the halls of the two story building.
I was in the Ambassador's office.I needed the space on his floor to spread out the pages of my report, collate them, and staple them together -- this still being the paper era before e-mail. I was kneeling on the floor when the Marine guard came in, greeted me, and sat down on the couch.
I don't look like a slut. I dress professionally. I was wearing a knee length skirt, but in shuffling around the floor on my knees I probably showed the Marine a bit of leg and the lacey bra beneath my white blouse allowed the most subtle outline of a pink nipple to show through.The Marine and I talked as I worked and when I finished I extended a hand to him so he could pull me to my feet.He did so, and I found myself in his arms.
This boy was a casual, pool-playing friend. He was 21 years old and tall and muscular, a shy Southern boy with a thick uneducated accent.I don't usually have sex with co-workers but I make an occasional exception for the marines.These youngsters in isolated African countries have sex lives as deprived as my own -- and like me they are discouraged from sex with locals by our employer.So, in desperation, single women in Embassies and much younger Marines hook up sometimes.
Well, Abe's imminent arrival notwithstanding, I didn't resist and that Marine fucked me real good right there on the sofa in the Ambassador's office. He took his pistol, nightstick, and walkie-talkie off and laid them down on the coffee table, pulled his pants down to his knees; pushed my skirt up around my waist, pulled my panties off and inserted a very large and hard penis into me.It felt good after my long drought.I climaxed quickly a couple of times, as did he, but he continued on, methodically pounding me.I began to feel pain and I was about to call for a cessation of sex -- a first for me -- when a voice barked through the walkie-talkie."Post one, post one, come in immediately!"
My marine pulled himself out of me, grabbed his radio, snapped to attention with his pants around his ankles, penis dripping, and said "yes sir, yes sir" into the radio as his Sergeant barked out instructions. When he signed off, he said to me, "I gotta go. Orders. Sorry."
I wasn't sorry, but he was a dear boy, and I liked him, despite the pain now running from my crotch all the way to my esophagus.As he rushed out the door, he picked my panties off the floor and asked, "A present for me"
"All yours," I answered.But I got up with difficulty. I mopped up the sperm oozing out of me to avoid having Clintonesque stains on my fashionable and expensive skirt -- and the Ambassador's couch -- arranged myself as best I could, and walked out of the Embassy with a painful bow-legged shuffle.That boy had left me in no shape to accommodate even semi-hard Abe who was due to arrive in two hours.I went home, showered, and pondered my strategies while driving to the airport to get him.
We had a lovely dinner and dessert at my apartment, stripped our clothes off and got into bed.After preliminary embraces I undertook to divert his attention from my ravaged vagina to my breasts, suggesting that his limp penis between them would feel good. I have large breasts and he responded with alacrity. On top of me he humped away, and now and then I caught the tip of his penis in my mouth on his upswing and gave it a sloppy kiss. We rolled over and I let my breasts hang over his penis and massage him. That was how he climaxed, his penis hardened beyond what I had ever seen before; and the sperm shooting out in copious streams against my hanging tits rather than oozing out of a semi-hard pecker. Abe and I had found the technique that suited him.
Abe wasn't any better after sex than before. He rolled over and went to sleep immediately. I finished myself off with my fingers while he snored happily.I woke up the next morning with Abe on top of me, his penis between my tits, and he cummed all over me even before I could properly open my eyes. Abe was a sexual tiger, so long as penetration was not a goal.
That night set the standard for our sexual relationship. Abe and I had more than a dozen trysts over the next decade.With titty fucking he attained and kept an erection.For me it wasn't overly exciting, but I could sometimes get to an orgasm with just his naked body writhing with me.
As a lover, Abe got a D minus. I believe the pathology was that he, as a married man, felt guilty about having sex with me.But in his psyche, titty fucking didn't really seem like infidelity and thus he loosened up and performed better.I was willing to accommodate him; what are friends for
What do you think Is titty-fucking sex Can I count a man as a lover if he spills seed on my tits, but never in me

STEVE CHIOTAKIS: President Obama called Tuesday's GOP
sweep back into House control a "shellacking." We wondered what that means for climate change legislation that's been floundering in Congress for some time.
Marketplace Sustainability reporter Adrienne Hill is with us now to talk about it. Good morning Adrienne.
ADRIENE HILL: Good morning Steve.
CHIOTAKIS: So tell me, what will all these Republican newcomers mean for big action on climate change?
HILL: Well probably not as much as they'd like.
CHIOTAKIS: What do you mean by that?
HILL: Let's be clear: big climate change legislation was already dead. The Dems controlling both Houses couldn't get it through; they tried and failed. So sure, any sort of sweeping climate legislation is less likely now, but that's less likely than dead.
CHIOTAKIS: So Adriene, the Obama Administration's EPA is working on greenhouse gas regulations. What can the GOP-controlled House do about those?
HILL: They'll certainly try to do all they can. They might try to kill them, they probably will try to kill them or at least slow them down. The expectation is the House is going to call lots of hearings, spend a lot of time trying to block these guidelines. But right now in the Senate, Republicans and their Democratic allies have as many as 57 votes to stop EPA regulations. That's according to the New York Times. It's not enough to overcome a liberal filibuster, but it could change.
CHIOTAKIS: And they're working together, right -- bi-partisanship?
HILL: Yeah, I guess so. The president did also express some willingness to compromise on energy in his press conference on Wednesday, so we'll see. There's some concern that federal funding for clean energy tech and research could take a hit, that Republicans' appetite to cut the budget combined with many of their skeptical opinions on climate change could really mean less money for scientific research. Also fossil fuel interests like big oil spent a lot of money getting some of these Republicans elected, so they're going to be lobbying hard.
CHIOTAKIS: Are there any bright spots, Adriene, for proponents of climate change after this election?
HILL: Absolutely. Hearing California voters decisively voted against Prop. 23, which means that California's clean air laws are going to stay in place. A lot of clean energy advocates are pointing to that as a really significant victory. And it's one sign that the meaningful battle over climate action and clean energy is moving away from the Hill and to the state and local level.
CHIOTAKIS: Marketplace's Sustainability reporter Adriene Hill. Adriene, thanks.
HILL: Thank you Steve.

If you have acid reflux disease you probably know by now what foods you shouldn't eat or drink. Orange juice, pizza, coffee – the list of what can trigger reflux is long and varied. But some foods are safe for most reflux sufferers to eat, and can even help prevent reflux from occurring.
Besides using drugs like Prevacid or Nexium, which you can order through a convenient Internet-based online pharmacy, sticking to a better diet that includes these 7 foods can actually help prevent painful acid reflux.
Fruits are always good. 1) Apples and 2) bananas are nutritious and, since lowfat foods such as fruits are easier to digest than fatty foods, they don't cause excessive acid production.
Vegetables (especially steamed) are good, too. 3) Peas, 4) green beans, and other green vegetables are recommended, as are 5) carrots. 6) Whole grains are good, as carbohydrates don't seem to cause as much excessive acid production. 7) Lean meat (not fried) is also a good choice.
Stick to these types of foods for a few days and see if a diet of veggies, carbs and lean meats doesn't help the problem, or at least lessen the severity of it, perhaps making it less necessary to use reflux drugs as often.

Sony Ericsson Kurara shows up in new photos, promises HD video capabilities
Remember that Sony Ericsson Kurara which appeared last week in two photos that actually didn't show much?
The handset has now been spotted in new images, and this time we can take a better look at it.
As previously reported, the Sony Ericsson Kurara is a smartphone based on Symbian S60 5th Edition and it should be included in SE's Entertainment Unlimited line-up (like the Satio and Aino).
The features of Sony Ericsson Kurara apparently include a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen display and an 8.1MP camera (which, judging by the HD seen on the phone's back, should be able to record video in HD).
The Kurara should be announced in the first half of 2010, probably under a different name.

In Middle Class, Signs of Anxiety On School Efforts
By SUSAN SAULNY
Published: December 27, 2005
The Bloomberg administration's efforts to invest immense attention and resources on low-income students in low-performing schools are causing growing anxiety among parents from middle-class strongholds who worry that the emphasis is coming at their children's expense.
Some of the very changes that Chancellor Joel I. Klein has made his hallmark -- uniform programs in reading and math for most schools; drilling that helped produce citywide gains last spring on standardized tests; changes in rules for admission to programs for the gifted and talented, designed to make them more equitable -- have caused unease among that important constituency.
In interviews and at public meetings, dozens of parents from the middle class and upper middle class have complained of an increasing focus on standardized test preparation and remedial work, of a decreasing focus on science education and the arts, of large class sizes and of the absence of a powerful mechanism for parental influence.
Take Heidi Vayer, a former public school teacher and guidance counselor. She decided to remove her two daughters this year from public school in District 2 on the East Side of Manhattan and enrolled them instead in an independent school, Friends Seminary.
''I didn't see things getting better,'' Ms. Vayer said. ''The school increased class sizes, and I felt no attention was being paid to middle-class students who were there.''
Her most particular concern was test preparation. ''I felt, how could I be doing this to my own children?'' she said. ''I could understand if test prep was part of the curriculum, but test prep was all of the curriculum.''
After particularly impressive results were recorded this year by fifth graders, principals and officials of the Department of Education said the improved test scores reflected real achievement, not high-pressure test preparation, and stemmed from a variety of initiatives, such as expanded availability of pre-kindergarten schooling and increased spending.
Many parents say, however, that there are extremely limited public school options in the middle school years, and some chafe at how the new rules for gifted programs in the elementary schools and for certain select schools have made competition for admission stiffer.
''My concern is that the mayor is driving families out,'' said Rose Ann Watson Ansty, whose son attends Public School 9 on the Upper West Side. ''It's very frustrating.''
Whether parents are doing more than complaining is hard to determine.
City officials say that judging by the number of children eligible for free lunch, the class divide in the system remains stable: About 80 percent of the children are poor, with no increase in middle class flight.
Yet Emily Glickman, a consultant who advises parents in the city on winning admission for their children to private schools, said, ''The last two years the interest in private schools has exploded, as I see it with people coming to me.''
Driving the anxiety is simple arithmetic. Even in some high-income ZIP codes, parents perceive neighborhood schools as academically substandard. That creates an extraordinary amount of competition for the select schools and the programs for the gifted and talented.
Some of that competition is taking place now, with the latest round of applications for magnet and gifted programs just submitted and the kindergarten application process under way. The city has 239 programs for the gifted and talented, and 69 schools offer opportunities for accelerated study or enrichment activities outside the standard curriculum.
''The Department of Education has one problem: There aren't enough good schools,'' said Tim Johnson, the chairman of the chancellor's Parent Advisory Council and a parent leader in District 2, which covers much of Manhattan. ''That's why parents are so possessive of the 'X' number of good schools. Everyone wants to protect a good school.''
Issues of race and class are never far from the surface in this debate: The school system is overwhelmingly minority and poor, and many of the parents who have fared best at getting their children seats in choice programs are white.
Some say that middle class parents should not feel so aggrieved. ''Nobody gets shortchanged the way the poor do,'' said Joseph Viteritti, a professor of public policy at Hunter College. ''I'm sympathetic to the need to accommodate the middle class community and the dilemma it presents, but the bottom line is that the people who get shortchanged the most are the people who have no options.''
Even critics of the school system acknowledged that the city faced a difficult balancing act.
''I don't agree with a lot of what the chancellor has done, and I think in some ways he's made things worse,'' said Mindy Gerbush, who lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and serves on the District 13 Community Education Council, an elected, unpaid panel of parents. ''But in some ways it's like being in the role of Solomon: What do you do with the child?''
She continued, ''What do you do for the middle class while providing for the tremendous needs of the non-middle class -- after they've been forgotten for years?''

Guess which childless, non-morning person drew the short straw in today's editorial meeting? Let's talk about 'England Swings,' Keith Urban's new collaboration with the world's favorite kid-friendly singing sensation, the always chipper, frequently whistling Wiggles!
The song will appear on the Wiggles' upcoming album 'Let's Eat!' As for Urban, well, he's clearly attempting to curry future favor with the two children he's spawned with wife Nicole Kidman. So, like a good father, he joins his fellow Australians in performing a really happy, piano-based version of Roger Miller's classic 1965 singalong.
You all know the words, right?: "England swings like a pendulum do / Bobbies on bicycles two by two / Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben / The rosy red cheeks of the little children."
Why are a bunch of grown men from down under singing so happily to children about London, the capital of the country that used their homeland as a gigantic prison a few hundred years ago? Who can say. Maybe to teach the next generation about forgiveness.
What it's taught us, on this previously quiet morning, is to respect all those parents whose car radios have been taken over by this forced cheer.
'Let's Eat!' comes out on Feb. 1, and you can be sure a big tour with arenas full of delightedly screaming preschool kids will follow soon. Expect a slightly older but equally packed turnout at Urban's own Get Closer headlining tour, which hits America on June 16 in Biloxi, Miss.

Hearing set on late officer's bond money
Nearly a month after lodging the request, the widow of a fired Grand Junction police officer is still seeking a refund of money used by the officer to get out of jail.
District Judge Richard Gurley said Tuesday that a hearing has been scheduled Nov. 12.
At that time, he's expected to decide whether Michelle Coyne will receive a refund of all, or part, of the $20,000 that was paid by her husband, 35-year-old Glenn Coyne, in order to post bond on Oct. 3.
Dean Hergenrader, a bondsman with AA Bail Bonds in Montrose, charged Coyne a premium of 8 percent of his total $250,000 bond for his release.
In a motion filed Oct. 9, Coyne's widow said the return of the couple's money "would be just and prevent unjust enrichment."
Deputy District Attorney Mark Hand told the judge Tuesday that the District Attorney's Office has filed written notice that charges will not be filed in Coyne's case.
Coyne was found dead Oct. 6 in a hotel room in Golden, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
He was fired by the Grand Junction Police Department on Sept. 30 after his arrest that same day on suspicion of first-degree burglary and sexual assault.

Nov. 1 - WEST CHESTER, Ohio – Bethany sophomore Suzanne Stettinius (Parkton, Md./Hereford) and junior Maggie McCort (Fort Ashby, W.Va./Frankfort) earned Second Team All-PAC honors to highlight the Bison cross country teams' efforts at the 2008 PAC Championships, which were hosted Saturday by Thomas More at the Voice of America Park near Cincinnati, Ohio.
Bolstered by Stettinius' and McCort's finishes, the Bison women finished in fifth place out of eight teams with 125 points, well ahead of Thiel, Thomas More and Chatham. Grove City's women took home first place, led by overall winner Kristen Carter.
Plagued by injuries, the Bethany men only had three individuals compete and did not score as a team. Grove City, which featured Saturday's winner and PAC MVP Garrett Cichowitz, also captured the men's title.
Stettinius was the first Bison to cross, as she came in with a pack of four runners that were separated by just five seconds. Her time of 23:44 was good for 11th place overall and Second Team All-PAC accolades, which were rewarded to runners who placed 8-14 at the race. First Team distinction was given to those who finished 1-7.
Not far behind Stettinius was her teammate McCort, who posted a time of 24:16 to collect Second Team All-Conference honors as well. It was her first PAC laurel, which came after she just missed earning all-league recognition as a freshman in 2006 when she finished 15th overall. McCort missed all of cross country season last year because of injury.
In addition, Stettinius and McCort became the first Bison runners to bring home All-PAC hardware since Mallory Roadman placed eighth in 2005 for Second Team honors.
Others who ran for Bethany on Saturday included junior Alissa Moss (Meadow Lands, Pa./Chartiers-Houston), who finished 32nd overall, junior Jodi Bodo (Steubenville, Ohio/Steubenville Catholic Central), who placed 40th, sophomore Lindsay Brewer (Wadsworth, Ohio), who was 56th, and junior Katy Reuning (Butler, Pa./Mars), who was 66th.
Running for the Bethany men were senior Matt Schlemmer (Canton, Ohio/Glen Oak), who was the top finisher by taking 57th. Also competing was junior Patrick Miller (Canonsburg, Pa./Chartiers-Houston) and freshman Richard Strassguetl (Munich, Germany/Rupprecht Gymnasium).
Bethany will complete the 2008 season in two weeks when they run at the NCAA Mid-East Regional on Nov. 15. The Bison will not have a long trip to compete at Regionals, which will be held at PAC rival Waynesburg.

TRENTON, Mich (Mar. 5)
Police authorities of this quiet residential town southwest of Detroit were still hunting today for an arsonist who had set fire last Wednesday night to Beth Israel Synagogue, causing damage estimated at tens of thousands of dollars.
The fire was discovered in the evening, several hours after the building had been vacated by the last class of Jewish children attending the synagogue's religious school. There was no one in the building when the fire started. On a blackboard in one of the basement classrooms, firemen found scrawled in yellow paint a swastika and the word "Juden."
Police Inspector Paul Dechene said the fire was "definitely" the work of an arsonist, a sick person." Meanwhile, the congregation used yesterday the facilities of Faith Methodist Church, where it had conducted its services until it erected its own synagogue three years ago.

June 4, 2012
Most recently, my family has been struggling with school withdrawal. Sheesh, I know it's only 2 mornings-a-week preschool (how do you parents with school-aged kids deal with summer?) but it's been a difficult transition, hence the lack of blog posts lately. It's also been a period of time that Soren hasn't regularly been going to his grandparents, since my mom has taken on the role as caregiver to my brother's twin babies. It's been a rough month here, to say the least.
I've mentioned many times before that Soren is a highly-energetic, physical, and curious child. As a result, he's bored here at home.
And with a baby who needs his naps and downtime, it's hard to plan daily activities for a preschooler outside of the home. We've had some real nightmarish days of late, with him running around, screaming, goofing off, putting hands in my butt, etc. This child's inability to focus or be serious is maddening and inspires anger in me that I never knew was there. It's like living with a not-so-witty Russell Brand.
But unlike in the past, I trust that this is a phase that I will adapt to eventually. I'm counting on all this adaptation and life under pressure to turn me into one hell of a diamond.
Any tips for surviving the summer, short of checking myself into a looney-bin?

Totally know what you mean--I have a 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 with no family nearby and yes, kids can make your sanity go! My youngest is just starting to give up morning naps but when he does nap in the morning-I either give my oldest lots of one on one time (crafts, reading, etc) or yes, watch tv, if I have things to do. Then we head out as soon as I get the little one up by 10. We are always back at one for naps and then we have to head outside---even if it just in the backyard! I know what you mean---I'm curious to see what tips you get. But with a little television, crafts, and lots of outside time---you can do it!ReplyDelete
Oh man...I wish I had something to tell you here Kathleen, but not being a mother myself, I have no idea what it's like to be in that position o.OReplyDelete
I guess all I can offer is deep, calming breaths?
I wish you love, light, and lots and lots of patience until you've adapted!

With such a young team, Kent State wrestling coach Jim Andrassy knows keeping his charges focused is of huge importance.
"Our guys are focused," Andrassy said. "With young kids, you always are concerned, but I think our guys know they have to focus on one match at a time."
That may be true, but the temptation to look ahead might have been strong for the Golden Flashes on Monday when they hosted Old Dominion at the M.A.C. Center.
After all, KSU's next dual match features The Ohio State University visiting the Golden Flashes on Thursday.
"It's a big match," sophomore Ian Miller admitted of the duel with the Buckeyes. "But the next match is always the most important, so we had to win tonight."
Kent State stayed focused and won easily over the Monarchs 25-7. The Golden Flashes won seven of the night's 10 bouts.
Kent State improved to 5-3, 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference, while ODU - who is in its first year as a MAC affiliate for wrestling - dropped to 2-5, 0-2 in the MAC.
Andrassy noted his team had faced the Monarchs early at the Virginia Duals, so it had some idea what ODU brought to the table. He said the fact ODU is now a MAC team was the big motivation for the night.
"We just want to keep the MAC thing going," Andrassy said. "We want to win the MAC title. We've got a young team, and we've got to take everything match by match."
The opening bout of the night was a battle of Northeast Ohioans at 125 pounds, as former St. Ignatius great Jerome Robinson of ODU faced Kent State's Del Vinas, a Twinsburg native. Robinson won a tight 2-0 decision.
The squads split the next two matches, as KSU's Mack McGuire won 9-6 at 133 pounds, followed by ODU's Chris Mecate winning 5-0 at 141 pounds.
From there, however, Kent State's middleweights took over as the Golden Flashes won the next six matches.
At 149 pounds, Mike DePalma started the run by winning 7-1, followed by a 7-2 by Miller at 157 pounds.
"I thought we rode really well tonight on top," Miller said. "We knew they were going to aggressive, so he had to be as well."
In just his second match back from injury, Kent State 165-pounder Tyler Buckwalter didn't know who he was wrestling until ODU's Marcus Johnson stepped on the mat. It didn't matter, as Buckwalter scored a 16-3 major decision.
"He's a lot better than some people know," Andrassy said of Buckwalter. "I'm really glad to have him back."
Things got a bit ugly for ODU at 174 pounds. Kent State's Caleb Marsh won 5-3 over Billy Curling, but during the third period of the match, Monarchs' coach Steve Martin was ejected by the referees.
With ODU already having a bench warning, the unsportsmanlike conduct call ended up costing the Monarchs two team points.
Kent State clinched the match when sophomore 184-pounder Sam Wheeler scored a 5-3 win over Austin Coburn.
At 197 pounds, Cole Baxter put the exclamation point on the run by getting the match's lone pin. He stuck ODU's Kevin Beazley in 1:54.
The heavyweight bout saw ODU's Matt Tourdot get a 3-1 win over KSU's Mimmo Lytle with a third period takedown, but it was too little, too late for the Monarchs.
Andrassy and Co. will close out 2013 by hosting the Buckeyes on Thursday at 7 p.m.
"I just think its a great opportunity for us to get some upsets," Andrassy said. "It's always good to have Big Ten team in your house."
(at M.A.C. Center)
125 -- Jerome Robinson (ODU) by dec. Del Vinas 2-0
133 -- Mack McGuire (KSU) by dec. Scot Festjo 9-6
141 -- Chris Mecate (ODU) by dec. Tyler Small 5-0

Earnings season wrap-up: 5 February

Nicholas Grove is a Morningstar journalist.

Transurban's 1H profit down, confirms FY dividend guidance
Toll-road operator Transurban Group (TCL) on Tuesday announced a 16 per cent fall in profit from ordinary activities to $81.1 million for the half year ended 31 December 2012.
Proportional toll revenue was $491.8 million, a rise of 3.8 per cent on the prior corresponding period, the company said.
Proportional EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) for the period rose 6.9 per cent to $416.9 million.
Morningstar senior infrastructure and property analyst Adrian Atkins said the company's proportional EBITDA is tracking broadly in line with his expectations.
Free cash rose 4.6 per cent for the half year to $192.8 million, which supports the 15.5-cent distribution per stapled security for the period, Transurban said.
The distribution will be paid on 14 February 2013. This will be made up of a 12-cent distribution from Transurban Holding Trust and a 3.5-cent fully franked dividend from Transurban Holdings Limited.
Transurban also confirmed distribution guidance for the 2013 financial year of 31 cents per stapled security.
In a statement, Transurban CEO Scott Charlton said the company has a strong portfolio of assets that continues to deliver growth in free cash for security holders.
"We have made good progress on key development projects during the period and are now focused on completing the Hills M2 upgrade so that we can see the full benefit of that project flow through all of our northern Sydney assets," he said.
"Our strategic network positions in our markets are integral to the cities they serve and significantly contribute to the economies of those markets.
"As governments and communities look for answers to growing issues in transport networks, we are well-positioned to play a leading role in the development of unique transport solutions and unlock further value in our networks."
Macquarie Group provides "disappointing" guidance
Macquarie Group (MQG) expects a 10 per cent year-on-year rise in net profit for its fiscal year ended 31 March 2013, the investment bank said at a quarterly operational update on Tuesday.
"Whilst market conditions remain uncertain, we currently expect Macquarie's result for fiscal 2013 to be up approximately 10 per cent on fiscal 2012, with the probability of a stronger result should improved market conditions persist," Macquarie CEO Nicholas Moore said.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) chief Norman Chan, is concerned that hot money inflows equivalent to 680 billion Hong Kong dollars ($87.4 billion) that has poured into Hong Kong since 2008 could reverse as U.S. interest rates rise.
Expect loan-to-deposit ratios to become stretched, and interbank rates to spike, as they have started to with SHIBOR rates hitting 5% last week.
Although not stated in public, there has to concern over lending to mainland Chinese as Hong Kong banks that may be "unwittingly acting as lender of last resort to Chinese companies."
"Lending by Hong Kong banks surged 30% in the first three months of this year. If last year's figures are anything to go by, much of this lending is going to mainland companies which saw loans grow 44% in 2010 to $440 billion.
Nomura reported that Interest rates are spiraling in the "kerb," or shadow banking market. "According to the Wenzhou branch of the People's Bank of China, the average informal lending rate grew to 24.3% in April, compared to 17.2% last August." Further, the China Daily reported that 89% of the population of Wenzhou — a city in Zhejiang province — and 57% of its enterprises borrowed outside the official banking system last year.
source : marketwatch
How on earth are 24% interest rate loans going to be paid back? Hong Kong's banks, allegedly the safest in the world, are not so safe. .

Arizona Cardinals promote former NCSU player to GM
Posted January 9, 2013
The Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday announced that Steve Keim, a former All-ACC guard at North Carolina State, will take over as the team's general manager.
Keim has worked in Arizona for 14 years and served as the team's vice president for player personnel in 2012 after serving for years in the scouting department.
Keim's first order of business will be finding a head coach after the Cardinals fired Ken Whisenhunt at the end of a disappointing 2012 season that included a 1-11 stretch in the team's final 12 games.
At NC State, Keim started 36 consecutive games for the Wolfpack in the early 1990s. During his senior season in 1994, Keim was the team offensive line most valuable player and was named third-team All-American from Gameplan magazine.
Before beginning work as a scout in 1999, Keim spent time with the Miami Dolphins and Edmonton Eskimos (Canadian Football League).

As for now all the Evils will be gone after we get our hands on Diablo 3.So what is left for us to fight The angels?!Cause in the book of Cain there has been a lot of hints that wel clash with the high heavens.Or will there be new enimies after all the burning hells and high heavens are only the two major worlds created by the worldstone(which means there are others).And also do u think that the title will be changed maybe to World of Sanctuary. no "I agree with this." alone

A five-year contract for ticketing and access control to one of Australia's prime sporting venues, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, represents an opportunity for an events organisation to cash in on a likely resurgence in tourism, conventions, events and sporting occasions in the coming financial year.
Just next to the Melbourne CBD, the stadium at Jolimont, with associated sports and entertainment facilities, boasts some of the highest attendances in Australia, and accommodates about 100,000 people in the main stadium.
The strength of demand for the cricket ground, also the locale for the AFL grand final, is seen in a two-decade long waiting list for memberships.
In a media release on June 19 the MCC Committee announced that at its forthcoming meeting on July 3 it proposed to admit to full membership existing restricted members who had been patiently waiting from July 1 to December 31, 1989.
Waiting list candidates nominated from November 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996 would be offered restricted or restricted junior membership. At that rate, they might be looking for full membership about halfway through 2036.
Melbourne-based tenders specialist TenderSearch says tenders close on Friday, July 12. As an indication of the likely intensity of the tender, interested parties have had to shell out a non-refundable fee of $2000 to obtain tender documentation.
They also attended a mandatory information session at the stadium on Friday, June 21.
Great Australian asset
The MCG rates as one of the best located major sports grounds in Australia because it is right in the hub of the Melbourne suburban railway system, the Jolimont rail yard spread and associated junction stations.
For its very first location from 1838 on, it was actually on the rail track line route, and had to be shifted sideways in 1853 to make room for the trains.
"The stadium is one of Australia's greatest assets," the tender documents state. "As Australia's most attended sports and entertainment stadium, the stadium is a busy venue accommodating major events such as international cricket, Australian football, soccer, rugby and concerts, as well as hosting a large number of major functions in the surrounding purpose-built facilities.
"It also houses the National Sports Museum, Australia's largest multi-purpose sports museum and popular tourist attraction.
"The stadium is on Crown Land in Yarra Park, Jolimont, and is held on behalf of the people of Victoria by the Stadium Trust.
"Day-to-day management of the stadium is delegated by the Trust to the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), which holds a long-term lease of the Stadium. The MCC invites suitably qualified ticketing companies to tender for the Stadium's Ticketing and Access Control Services contract."
This will involve sale and distribution of all event ticketing and management of a fully integrated access control system.
Tenderers must be able to demonstrate experience in providing ticketing agency and access control services for similar venues, plus an extensive distribution network, including a range of distribution channels.
The existing ticketing contract for the MCC has been held by Ticketek Pty Ltd from March 1, 2009. With its rival Ticketmaster, Ticketek is one of the big two which dominate provision of ticketing services, including call centre and online availability, at major sporting and events venues in Australia.

From U.S. 41, head west on 17th Street West. The school and stadium will be on your right.
Both the Tigers (5-4) and Pirates (4-5) have secured playoff berths as runners-up in their respective districts. This is the final tune-up for both teams before post-season play begins next week with Palmetto heading to Cape Coral and Braden River making the trip to Winter Haven. One of the main goals for both teams tonight will be to avoid injury and keep players fresh for the playoffs. The Tigers secured their berth with a gutsy 28-14 district victory over Lakewood Ranch last Friday, while the Pirates sealed the deal the week before by amassing 493 yards on the ground in a victory at Booker. Palmetto's RB Marquis Green averages an area-best 9.1 yards per carry and has 603 yards and 6 TDs. Braden River's RB Javar Baity has 605 yards and 5 TD runs. A win would be nice for both programs, but not at the cost of injuring any key players with the playoffs on the horizon. Look for plenty of new faces playing tonight for each team. This is a game both teams would already like to have in the rear-view mirror, but you must play them all.

For the past 11 years, Sylvia Baker has fought valiant battles against breast cancer, each time coming out on top and even writing books about it. This time, it's different.
For a while now, the co-founder of the Classical Christian School for the Arts has tried to hide her worsening condition from her students and staff.
"Not everyone in the school community knows how serious her condition is," said Laree Butler, a Tierra Verde resident whose two children attend the school. "We're not accepting a death sentence and we are just praying for her. I realized we have to quickly do something and show our love and support for her."
So last week, students and staff at the arts school demonstrated their support for Baker by doing what they do best: performing. The small school of just over 100 students and a dozen teachers and staff members turned their annual Christmas concert into a tribute to Baker, donning pink ribbons with her name on them and inviting her son to be part of the special event.
It was a last-minute plan spearheaded by a parent, said teacher Dan Stiegrest.
Baker said she was completely surprised.
"I knew they made some changes in the plan, and I was only there the day before. Then I started listening, and I was like, 'oh my goodness, you are talking about me,' " she said. "I was shocked. It made me feel very appreciated."
Parents such as Butler commended Baker's effort in providing an arts-centric education in Pinellas County.
"I am grateful to be there, I am grateful for the school and I am so thrilled with the way they treat my kids and what they are getting there," Butler said.
Nearly seven years ago, Baker and her husband, Daniel, co-founded the Classical Christian School for the Arts in Pinellas Park after running a church-based school in Maryland for 20 years.
That school was strict; church officials did not allow music lessons or proms for students. Though Baker said she found ways to work around those restrictions, she finally decided to start her own school in a warmer clime.
Growing up in a musical family — her grandmother and siblings play various instruments — Baker wanted to create a school that emphasized the arts and classical education. Along with piano, violin, dance and visual arts classes, students at her school also study Latin, logic and rhetoric.
Tuition at Classical Christian School costs $5,800 to $6,500 depending on grade level, and the school has used voucher programs like Step Up for Children and payment plans to make the school more accessible, Baker said. Students who are not enrolled in the school also can take music lessons for $550 over 36 weeks.
For a single mom like Adele Oliva, that's a big deal.
"So many schools are so business oriented, (but) they will work with your plans," she said. "Every year, I hope I can make what can cover my daughter being there. They have ballet, dance and music … I can't see any schools in the area that offer such amenities under one umbrella."
Since it opened, the school has added high school grade levels and violin classes for younger students. Recruitment efforts also are being expanded, Baker said.
She said she has tried to shield students and staff as much as possible from her battles so they wouldn't worry about her or the school's future.
"I haven't had serious issues with it recurring until recently. I didn't really want people to know that because I don't want people to be afraid what is going to happen to school," she said. "I began making provisions for school a couple of years ago, but I didn't think this was going to happen."
But Baker said she hasn't stopped fighting.
"My doctor said 'you have overcome this and worse before,' " she said. "So let's do it again."

THIS is a fact that many know, but which is hardly acknowledged. In reviewing the trajectory of countries like the USA, Japan, Norway, Germany, Britain, Singapore, and now Brazil and India, the role of qualitative human capital in their advancement and in upholding their successes today as rich societies cannot be overlooked. In the political terrain, decisions on human capital development are even more difficult.
In an era where people are eager to see the immediate and tell tale signs of democracy dividends, it is risky to preach human capital development. One, achievements in this area are hardly "seen"; and two, it takes longer gestation periods.
That is why only the bold and visionary can contemplate it, much more making it a priority. In Delta state, this is the choice the Uduaghan administration has made. I dare say, future generations will remember this hard choice and be grateful to him.
It is in this regard that, I was not prepared for the new Saint Patrick's College Asaba when we arrived there. In fact, on the bus ride through Asaba town, I had cynically remarked to myself who the new moneybag in town could be to have built such imposing and gigantic edifice as home when we approached it! Only for me to learn that it was good old Saint Patrick's College (SPC)! I had left the school after one year of High School in 1982.
I immediately alighted from the vehicle and tried to reconnect with my roots. But the new SPC is light years away from the one I attended then. Built on an imposing three storey structure spread across the front of the old school, the new SPC can rival any school of its kind in the world.
The building is not only state of the art, the classrooms are very well furnished for comfort and functionality and the laboratories very well equipped. I tell you the students that will pass through its portals will have no reason to feel inferior to their peers anywhere in the world. And that is as should be!
If Nigeria is to attain its rightful place as leader of the black world and grow into one of the leading twenty economies of the world, our public school system must speak to our ambitions. I was to learn that 10 of such schools of such magnitude are being built across the state as first phase.
And that over 100 schools have been constructed to modern standards! I saw a bit of that at the central primary school in the Ogbogunogo area of Asaba, and it was the same vision at work. The school is as good as any primary school you can find, and complete with a well kept playing field.
The aim is to develop well taught and well drilled pupils. As the saying goes: A healthy mind is found in a healthy body! Delta has a rich pedigree in sports, and it is the present administration's vision to consolidate it, by catching them young. There are scores of these schools spread across the three senatorial districts of the state.
In another few months, it will be mid-term on the second administration of Uduaghan. So it is safe to say, that the administration is on the home stretch. Will history be kind to him? I think so. As the gentleman governor himself said at the interview, his hope is to run a good race and handle over a banner without stain to his successor.
Deltans, he said, will remember him for good or bad, depending on how his policies have impacted them. Such forthrightness! Such equanimity!

At first i LOVED this product, excellent coverage, the perfect shade for me (NC15), but the longevity isn't great, starts to fade after around 5hours, so i purchased the Prep & Prime SPF 50 to help with this & it did, lasted maybe 11 hours! a week later my skin was as dry as a bone, horrible, flakey & i began experiencing bad breakouts. Since this I have been advised that Studio Fix Fluid is more of a 'going out' make up, not for every day use. Its best feature is how wonderfully it photographs, i will be keeping the remainder of the bottle (almost full) for special occasions..
I would only recommend this product for people if they don't wear foundation on a daily basis.

Naples, Italy, 2012/06/01 - In order to enhance the customer experience at the airport, the airport management company Gesac decided recently to install two LED walls, of 3 by 4 meters each, for marketing purposes - Scala.com.
These impressive screens run on Scala software and now serve as the core element for the communication and advertising strategy at the airport.
Scala today announced the installation of two large LED walls at Naples International Airport, executed by Scala Certified Partner Konvergence. Capodichino Airport in Naples welcomes 5,7 million travelers annually.
In order to enhance the customer experience at the airport, the airport management company Gesac decided recently to install two LED walls, of 3 by 4 meters each, for marketing purposes. These impressive screens run on Scala software and now serve as the core element for the communication and advertising strategy at the airport.
Konvergence has created an eye-catching digital installation that immediately draws the attention of everyone in the departure hall of Naples Airport, states Damon Crowhurst, Senior Director, Scala EMEA. An airport is open and operational 24/7 and 365 days a year. That means that the proven stability and perfect playback quality of the Scala software is crucial for promoting the airports services.
The LED walls are located in the main entrance area of the departure hall, so they are clearly visible for all passengers, who can view a combination of important airport service information messages combined with advertising. By displaying the ads next to or in line with important airport services information, a much higher guaranteed viewing rate is created versus screens that only have an advertising focus. By selling advertisement slots, Gesac are able to reduce the overall cost for operating the site significantly.
At first I was a little afraid Scala was too complicated, looking at the wide range of functionalities available in Scala Content Manager, said Guglielmo Cirillo, Product Manager Advertising at Gesac. I wanted something simple and reliable. However, when I started working with Scala, everything became clearer and I understood that all the available functionalities are there to give us more flexibility, especially for scheduling activities. And any time now when I have a new particular requirement, I discover its already present in Scala, ready to be used.
About Gesac
Gesac S.p.A. Gestione Servizi Aeroporti Campani was established in 1980 by the city of Naples, the Province of Naples and Alitalia as a majority state-owned company. Fully aware of the strategic importance of private management for the future development of not only the airport but the city as well, the public partners (City and Province) decided to privatise Naples airport making it Italys first privatised airport. On December 21, 2010, pursuant to an agreement signed on October 1st, the sale of the majority of the shares in Gesac (gesac.it) was finalised and the ownership of the company was definitively transferred into the hands of the Italian F2i Fondi Italiani per le Infrastrutture- Group. Everyone interested in advertising its brand at the Capodichino airport can contact GesacADV by phone (081 7896496) or by email (adv[.]gesac.it).

Wave Broadband said it has recruited former executives from Cox Communications, Insight Communications and Sunflower Broadband to help run its expanding cable operation.
The Kirkland, Wash.-based cable MSO named former Insight Communications executive Tim Klinefelter as EVP of broadband services and named former Sunflower Broadband general manager Patrick Knorr as EVP of IP and business services. It also named former Cox Communications executive Colette Jelineo chief marketing officer and promoted two of its own executives.
Klinefelter had been SVP of operations at Insight's Louisville, Ky., system. Knorr's move to Wave comes after a short stint at TV Everywhere technology provider Synacor, which announced in September that it hired Knorr as general manager of regional accounts.
Wave said COO Steve Friedman was promoted to president and COO, and CMO Arah Peck was promoted to EVP of strategic development.
The personnel moves come about five months after Oak Hill Capital agreed to buy Wave Broadband parent company WaveDivision holdings. Wave has grown its cable system portfolio, acquiring systems in the Northwest from Broadstripe earlier this year. It also recently agreed to acquire Seattle area fiber carrier Black Rock Cable.

Benjamin Franklin's notion of good works
Letter to Joseph Huey
Joseph O'Brien 10 p.m., Sept. 20
The New York Times has reported that Howard Willie Carter II, arrested for child porn in San Diego Wednesday, has been linked to a Bangladeshi man who is accused of plotting to blow up the New York Federal Reserve in lower Manhattan. Citing an unidentified law enforcement official, the Times reported that Carter was an accomplice of Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis. The alleged discovery was made through a search of Carter's computer, according to the Times. Nafis was arrested Wednesday after he attempted to detonate what he believed to be a 1,000-pound bomb, according to Bloomberg News.

The database files are not corrupted. I made a dump of the database and moved the database to another system with clean postgresql installation and the same happened trying to insert to the table. There was one common thing to all the situations I was unable to insert. They were made using postgresql library of php3 (3.0.9). There were no error messages or anything but the data just didn't appear in the db. I solved this problem quick & dirty way by executing psql from the php script with the statement as a parameter of it. It worked well but now I have one table that it doesn't work with. The effect is the same as with php. Everything seems to be fine but the data isn't there. I run postmaster in debug mode in one console to see if there was something worth seeing. The output of the debug was exactly the same in cases where the data disappeared and when it got stored in the db. No error messages. The problem has been at least in versions 6.3, 6.4 & 6.5.
