Using an optimal matching procedure to analyze foreign expansion processes
With the increasing interest in complex and dynamic processes in the field of IB, the call for systematic analyses of rich datasets is often heard. In this paper I use an an Optimal Matching (OM) procedure (cf. Abbott, 1990; Abbott and Tsay, 2000; Sabherwal and Robey, 1993) to analyze the foreign expansion processes of firms. I argue that OM offers a fruitful approach for the analysis of qualitative and longitudinal data on internationalization processes. It is used to identify typical 'sequences of events', in the current paper: sequences of expansion steps by internationalizing companies. I collected data on the expansion processes of thirteen firms entering the emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe through field interviews and analysis of archival sources. Analyzing the resulting thirteen expansion processes with OM results in three distinct 'typical expansion processes', which can be meaningfully interpreted in correspondence with existing literature on growth strategies. With these findings, this paper goes beyond testing existing models on the internationalization of the firm, such as the Uppsala model (Johanson and Vahlne, 1977), and answers to the call for investigations on the differentiated expansion strategies of modern MNCs (Johanson and Vahlne, 1990; Autio, Sapienza and Almeida, 2000; Buckley and Ghauri, 2004).

Riquelme to return to Boca says boss Macri
MADRID, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Villarreal's Argentine playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme will return to his former club Boca Juniors on loan until the end of the season, says Boca president Mauricio Macri.
'We are delighted because we know what Roman means to the fans,' Macri was quoted as saying on the website of Argentine daily Clarin.
'Financially, we made a big effort to bring him here. It was a great feat ... He is a great playmaker and is part of our history.'
However, Villarreal president Fernando Roig insisted the deal was not yet closed.
'Nothing has been signed,' he was quoted as saying by the Marca website.
'It isn't as straight-forward as it seems.'
The deadline for registration of players in Argentina expires later on Thursday.
Spanish media reported that the midfielder would receive $2 million to play for Boca in the Clausura championship, which starts this weekend, and the Libertadores Cup.
Riquelme has been sidelined by Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini since the start of the year because the club has been unhappy with his level of commitment despite being given privileges not enjoyed by other squad members.
The 28-year-old is one of the Primera Liga's most talented players and helped lead Villarreal to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season although he struggled to recover after missing a last gasp penalty in their defeat against Arsenal.
He played an instrumental role in steering Boca to a host of trophies between 1996 and 2002, winning three league titles and two Libertadores Cups.
A masterful display in Boca's victory over Real Madrid in the World Club Cup in 2000 helped persuade Barcelona to buy the Argentine for 11 million euros ($14.28 million) in 2002, but he never won a regular place in the first team.
He was loaned out to Villarreal the following season when Barca signed Ronaldinho and there the team was effectively built around his elegant, unhurried playmaking skills.
An introverted and softly-spoken character, he retired from international football last September after winning 37 caps, saying that criticisms of his performances in the 2006 World Cup in Germany had affected his mother's health.

What is the difference between a mental and physical action verb?
An action verb describes some kind of action being performed, either mental or physical action.
A physical action verb has an Subject that is clearly performing an action.
Sally walked the dog.
In this case, the action verb is walked, which is something being done by the Subject Sally. The Object of Sally's action is dog. You can see Sally walking the dog. You can see Sally's physical action.
A mental verb also preforms an action because the Subject is doing something, though the process is invisible. The difference between a physical action verb and a mental action verb is that a physical action verb shows a visible action while mental action is not visible.
Jenny thought good ideas.
In this example, the Subject Jenny thought ideas. Thought is a mental verb. We cannot literally see her thinking. Yet it is and action she performs.
As a side note: Opposite of action verbs are linking verbs. The main difference between an action verb and a linking verb is that an action verb shows action performed while a linking verb associates the Subject with its Complement. Linking verbs create a link between the subject and an attribute or characteristic or condition that the Subject has or is or demonstrates.
For example, a characteristic of ice cream is that ice cream tastes good:
- Ice cream tastes good.
Another example is that an attribute Shane has is that he is intelligent.
- Shane is intelligent.
A last example is that a conditioned experinced by Ramona is that she feels worried.
- Ramona feels worried.
In these three examples the Subjects are Ramona, Shane and ice cream. The Complements of the Subjects are worried, intelligent, and good. The linking verbs associating the Subject with its condition, attribute, or characteristic are feels, is [a be verb], and tastes.

Johnson Claims First Career Road Course Pole at The Glen
Kurt Busch Qualifies Second and Joins Johnson on the Front Row
By: WGI Staff on 8/7/2009
Jimmie Johnson will lead the field to the green flag for the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen on Sunday, August 9.
"A really cool day for us to be able to get the pole," said Johnson. "We were close at Sonoma once or twice and I lost it by a small margin so to get it done hopefully shows the progress that I'm making, the team is making on road courses. Today was just one lap and there's a lot more laps to be made and a lot of racing on Sunday."
Johnson laid down the fastest of 123.633 mph (71.340 seconds) and led a group of four drivers to qualify at over 123 mph so he hardly walked away with the award. Kurt Busch, driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge, held the provisional pole at 123.619 mph until Johnson topped his speed. Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 FedEx Freight Toyota and Marcos Ambrose, driver of the No. 47 Little Debbie/Kingsford/Clorox Toyota made up the second row with qualifying speeds of 123.093 mph and 123.045 mph respectively.
Defending champion Kyle Busch qualified 8th, Tony Stewart qualified 13th, fan favorite Boris Said qualified 9th, and 4-time Glen champion Jeff Gordon qualified 31st which is the worst of his career at WGI.

Cigar Spike
David Savona
Posted: September 30, 2009
It looks and feels like a guitar pick, but the Cigar Spike is a new cigar tool that takes a very simple approach to prepping your handmade cigar for smoking.
Guillotine cutters slice the entire head from a cigar. Punchers carve a hole in the head, typically the diameter of a BB. The cigar spike is meant to be pushed down into the closed head of the cigar, leaving a small hole—when done properly, it looks as if a vampire's fang had found it's way onto your cigar.
We say properly, because the Cigar Spike is not a precision tool. It's made of rigid plastic, and the dullish point doesn't always find a happy home in a cigar's head. We used two new Cigar Spikes in our office to prep a dozen cigars—we cracked the heads on half.
The Cigar Spike retails for 99 cents and has a handy hole so you can attach it to a keychain. It's eye grabbing, different, and very inexpensive, but if a one-dollar cutter ruins a $15 cigar, where is the economy?

Virginia middle infielder Cogswell drafted by A's
The A's drafted middle infielder Branden Cogswell on Friday with their seventh pick of the First-Year Player Draft.
Cogswell, a left-handed hitter, is in his junior season at the University of Virginia, where he moved from shortstop to second base early this spring.
He is the first University of Virginia product to be drafted by the A's since current closer Sean Doolittle, who was taken in the supplemental first round of the 2007 Draft.
The Draft concludes Saturday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 10 a.m. PT.
Cogswell has hit .294 with a .394 on-base percentage out of the leadoff spot for the Cavaliers this season, making just three errors in 285 chances. He was an All-Star in the Cape Cod League last summer, collecting 28 hits in 33 games for the Harwich Mariners.
The A's drafted another left-handed-hitting middle infielder in the previous round, taking high school shortstop Trace Loehr.
Aaron Leibowitz is an associate reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Pretty powerful and equally hilarious media opportunity with John Calipari on Friday. What started off as a preview of the LSU game eventually turned into Coach Cal talking about receiving letters from dogs and accountants, which I talked a little bit about on Friday in the first SEC Insider feature.
While Calipari goes a little off topic with the letters part, it was part of a point Calipari was making about the responsibilities of the job he has at Kentucky and why it's the greatest job in basketball. The video of Calipari is long, but he starts talking about the letters at the 13:40 mark and does an impersonation of a dog at 16:20.
Oh, there were the other standard interviews as well. We've got Darius Miller, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer below. Our normal written feature will be along later Friday when we land in Baton Rouge, La.

When Bongani Khumalo was just 14 years old, a visit to the Estadio Morumbi in Sao Paulo helped to "ignite" a desire to play professional football.
In a piece of perfect symmetry, on Friday, Khumalo's career hit new heights at the very same venue, as the 25-year-old central defender led Bafana for the first time in their heroic 1-0 defeat at the hands of Brazil.
Bafana were expected to receive a heavy beating at the hands of the Selecao, in Gordon Igesund's first game in charge, with a squad deprived of several key names. Instead, they put up a brave, committed performance that won the hearts of the Sao Paulo fans, who gave them an ovation as they left the field.
Brazil, by contrast, were booed for much of a game that perhaps had bad omens for them from the off, the kickoff delayed when they were forced to change from yellow into blue, because of a clash with the yellow in Bafana's kit.
"Right now it's still very fresh," said Khumalo afterwards, whose late arrival in Brazil meant he only found out he was captain in the team meeting at the hotel on the day of the game.
"But I think this is one game I will look back on no matter where my career goes from here. I came to Brazil before, when I was 14, and I came to see this stadium as a tourist. We weren't allowed on the grass.
"Now to come back and be fortunate enough to play as a captain against such a massive nation … I thank God for the opportunity. It's a privilege to have been part of this moment, and I am grateful to the coaches for showing confidence in my ability."
Khumalo visited Brazil when he was 14, playing as a youngster with Arcadia Shepherds in Pretoria.
"It was a tour targeted at schoolboy players," he says.
"It was an incredible tour as it ignited a dream, and I am fortunate today to have lived it."
It was always going to take a strong defensive display from Bafana to challenge Brazil in their own backyard, and Igesund's men got stuck into their opponents from the start, making their presence known with some fierce, but fair tackling.
"You can see it was a fight, we turned it into a fight," said Khumalo.
"There was good character and team spirit. Everyone was barking orders at the next person. Just to be a part of that, I think it's the first time in the national team I've seen that commitment. It was unbelievable.
"We always communicate, but today we were bouncing off each other even more. We were working for each other, which is always a great thing for a team, and hopefully we can continue with this, go forward, and not look back."
As ineffective as Brazil were, they did eventually find a winner, a superb left foot shot from substitute Hulk.
"It was a quality finish, you can't fault anyone for that," added Khumalo.
Even going forward, Bafana were, at times, pretty cohesive, despite losing both Dino Ndlovu and Benni McCarthy to injury in the first half. Bernard Parker did superbly after coming on as a substitute and Bafana might even have snatched the game early in the second half.
"If you think about it the coach has had three days with the team, I have come in (Khumalo only arrived on Wednesday afternoon) and had about half a training session," said Khumalo.
"And we've gone in and put in a performance. We have done well. I can't remember a game where two centre forwards have come off in such a short space of time. I thought Dino was doing well against (David) Luiz, he was giving him problems; it's unfortunate he came off with a bad injury.
"We really gave it a go, amd didn't hold back. In the first half for periods we had to park the bus, but in the second half we really took the game to them. It showed good character from all the players involved. It's important we don't get too carried away, we really need to push on from here."
For Bafana right now, it is all about preparing for the 2013 African Nations Cup finals on home turf in January, their next friendly coming on Tuesday against Mozambique in Nelspruit. Crystal Palace midfieldeer Kagiso Dikgacoi has returned to his club, but the rest of the squad, with the exception of the injured McCarthy and Ndlovu, travelled to Nelspruit on Sunday. – The Star

I've been kinda "lurking" and learning on here for several months and have commented a few times, but wanted to introduce myself. My friend Lindsey introduced to me this site when we were talking about homeschooling last summer and I am so grateful as it has been exactly what I was looking for. I had been reading about Classical vs. CM when I learned about SCM and knew it was for us. I've been a lover of good books my whole life and know that is where most of my retained education has come from so it just made sense to me. I was fornunate enough to attend a SCM conference last fall in San Antonio that was great!
My name is Hope and I have 3 boys who are basically 6, 4, and 3 (some birthdays are about to occur 😉 ), My oldest was in a private K program as we were simply unsure about homeschooling went last fall came about. Through prayer, finding this site, and having a child actually in school, it was confirmed over and over that we should be homeschooling. My dh is a pastor and took a new job a few weeks ago. We are now in the Austin, TX area. The moved allowed us to easiy move our son out of the school and now are a couple week into officially homeschooling. For the remainder of this school year, I am simply concentrating on Bible, reading, and math and getting used to homeschooling, new routines, etc. We will officially be doing Year One starting in August. It's been a little difficult getting oldest ds' attention with 2 little brothers around, but I know it's a learning curve for me and him and this week has already been much better and today he told me he loves "math at home" so I think we are on the right track. 🙂
Anyway, I just want to introduce myself here and tell you that these forums have already been a wealth of information to me. I do not know any other homeschoolers here in our new town (thought I've heard there are many — I just haven't met any yet), so I may be bombarding you all with questions soon. 🙂
Welcome, Hope!
It sounds like you have had some exciting changes recently! You've got a great plan for the rest of this year, and I hope you enjoy it.
Take care,
Hi Hope,
Glad to 'meet' you:) This forum is a wonderful source of help and encouragement. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Welcome! Gina
Welcome, love this forum – hope you will love it too. It is great to meet new people, Linda
Welcome! This forum has a great group of people that are sure to be a great help to you. I know they have been to me. Blessings, Marstar
Its a pleasure to have you with us, Hope. You are so blessed to have found SCM so early on in the journey! Look forward to getting to know you more. ~ Heather
Welcome here! God bless you on all your new adventures! And beware, it's easy to spend many hours hanging out here on these boards (and some of them when one should be homeschooling:).
Hi Hope-
Welcome to the forum. I've tried out a little of this & a little of that, but have always been drawn to CM. I have been transitioning to CM full-time this year and loving it. This forum is a wonderful resource.
I recommend getting the All-Day Charlotte Mason seminar dvd's. I just finished watching them and Sonya is a wealth of information.
Shannon http://www.homeschoolingtheirhearts.blogspot.com
Hi Hope,
We've been here since Jan 2010, and we have ds8 & dd2. So glad you found SCM early in your HS journey. We are from Australia and have found a wonderful community of families and help here at SCM. Enjoy your 4 handsome boys!! I went for a stroll over to your blog today and it's great.
Welcome Hope! I'm pretty new here myself, (haven't made an "official" introduction yet, but need to!) and I'm in a similar situation as you. My dd is about to be 7 and is finishing up private K. We were also on the fence about homeschooling, but through much prayer, have decided to go ahead with it in fall (maybe even some this summer). This site is great, and I'd also recommend the all day seminar dvds – they've been a great help to me (although I guess they may be similar to what you heard at the seminar you attended in SA) – I'll also be getting the planning your cm education dvd.
I'm not too far from you – in New Braunfels…there are sooo many really neat, Christian homeschool families around here, and I would imagine there as well. I've even begun to realize that there are other CM-ers out there…
Anyways, it's nice to "meet" you!

The Park Girl gets hauled
Sat, 29 Oct 2011 03:56:44 GMT —
Two wide load repo trucks showed up this afternoon at The Park Girl in La Feria.
And one by one they took mobile homes from the location, forcing Joleigh Ares to shut down part of her operation.
Complaints of broken promises and contracts from customers lead Action 4 News to an investigation.
The complaints reached not only the companies that provided Ares with the mobile homes but also the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
"Once we issue the notice of violation from there she has 30 days to request a hearing at the state office of administrative hearings, said Amy Morehouse with the Manufactured Housing Division. And I believe she did request a hearing for that particular notice of violation. Morehouse, the General Council for the Manufactured Housing division, says with the notice of violation Ares received, there is also a penalty attached.
It could be anywhere from a fine to suspension or revocation of license.
It can take 90 to 180 days, to resolve Ares' case.
Even longer depending on the hearing process
"If we do determine there is a violation of law then we'll order her to give the money back, said Morehouse.
Let's say she went out of business or she refused to pay it back , at that point we can go to the home owners recovery trust fund to help the consumer and get their money back.
Music to the ears of the park girl's unsatisfied customers Action 4 News spoke to over the last weeks, who feared they would never see a penny.
They said Ares took their deposit, never delivered the mobile homes they paid for, sold their trailers to more than one person and then refused to return their money.
Some of them were apprehensive in reporting the scam because of their legal status.
Morehouse says no consumer should fear contacting the Texas Department of Housing.
They should not fear going to us, said Morehouse. We focus only on the issue of attempting to consumer protection. Getting their money back.
According to reports, Joleigh Ares has several mobile home dealers across Texas. We reached out to Ares' lawyer to find out how long The Park Girl in La Feria will remain closed but have not heard back.
The Manufactured Housing Division urges people to contact them if they feel they have been scammed.
You can reach them at their Consumer Complaint Hotline 1-877-313-3223
You can also fill out a complaint form by emailing them at email@example.com

Have to point this out. Neither Shaun Marcum or Chris Carpenter have thrown a single pitch yet in spring training games.
Conventional wisdom seems to be that the Cards and Brewers are ahead of Reds rotation. But if both these guys battle injury this year, I would expect our rotation to come out on top.
Carpenter (neck) Greinke Cueto
Wainwright (?) Gallardo Latos
Garcia Marcum (shoulder) Arroyo
Lohse Wolf Leake
Westbrook Narveson Bailey
The Cards seem to be in trouble. Doubtful Carpenter can last the whole season at anywhere near his normal performance. Wainwright seems to be pitching well but has the tommy john return question mark. They really don't have depth. Marcum's getting a late start and has to hold down pitch count at best and may be an injury risk. With Chapman and Francis for depth I think I like our rotation better for first time in awhile. Like others, I have a feeling Bailey will do it this year and give us 3 playoff caliber starters.

Man Wanted For Trying To Run Over Deputy Found Dead
COARSEGOLD, Calif. (KMPH) —
The Madera County Sheriff's Department says a man who tried to run over a deputy sheriff Friday afternoon near Coarsegold has been found dead.
Madera County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Erica Stuart says the man, George Rosenberg, was discovered deceased{}next to a Coarsegold-area barn with a rifle in his lap.
Earlier in the day, around 3:15 p.m., Stuart says Rosenberg tried to run over a deputy, prompting the deputy to open fire on him.{} She says Rosenberg then drove away.{} That caused deputies to conduct an all-out search for Rosenberg.
Around 5:55 p.m., deputies found Rosenberg next to the barn, while his pickup was inside the barn. {}Stuart told KMPH News Rosenberg was hiding and lying in wait knowing full well the cops would find him.
Stuart said Rosenberg had a warrant out for his arrest.

"It was a place where you got your information, and served as a post office -- it had an integral role in the community," Moy said of the building, as well as other similar sites. "It's a unique structure, even though architecturally it's very utilitarian and doesn't represent any high style of architecture. It's more about the people and the work they did." — Los Angeles Times
The National Trust for Historic Preservation released its list of the 11 most endangered buildings in the country and making that list is Southern California's very own Rancho Cucamonga Chinatown House. No, the Chinatown House is not a restaurant at Victoria Gardens Shopping Center. Yes, Chinese immigrants made it to Rancho Cucamonga long before Ice Cube and cousin Day-Day ever did. Unbeknownst to most local residents, Rancho Cucamonga once housed a significant Chinese immigrant population that was vital to developing the agricultural economy of the Cucamonga Valley. However, in a similar fashion to other, small Chinatowns across California, this community eventually faded into obscurity. The Chinatown House is the last remnant of the role Chinese Americans played in the development of Rancho Cucamonga and much of the Inland Empire.
Located on the Southwest corner of San Bernardino Road and Klusman Ave, from 1919 to 1940 this two-story brick building housed Chinese Americans working as agricultural laborers. Although designated as a landmark in 1985, the building has fallen into disrepair. Last year, the property's owner, the Cucamonga Valley Water District, moved forward to demolish the house until public concern effectively halted the demolition.
Advocates hope that attention from the National Trust designation will gather supporters and hopefully attract grant money for the rehabilitation of the building. The Chinatown House Preservation Coalition and other local advocates hope to save the structure and turn it into an educational space that highlights the contributions of Chinese immigrant labor and the area's agricultural history. Those wishing to save the building carry the hope that it can instill in residents a deeper connection to the area. The Chinatown House tells the story of Rancho Cucamonga's development from an agricultural town to a modern-day city.

The Effects of Exchange-Rate Exposures on Equity Asset Markets
This paper analyzes the relationship between stock returns and exchange rate changes in international markets and examines how well exchange rate volatility explains movements in stock market returns. The model-based predictions are evaluated on several cost functions. Results from such analysis can be used to appraise the need for hedging. Of the three examined stock indexes, the FTSE was found to be the only robust index, while the S&P 500 and the Nikkei indexes reacted to the dollar/yen exchange rates. The dollaer/yen rate also improved risk prediction for the Standard&Poor futures, while the gains in forecasting from using bivariate models remained small otherwise.

Get Better Service With a Simple Thank-You
Do you want to improve your company's customer service? One way to accomplish that could be as simple as saying "thank you." Thanking your front-line employees is, sadly, rare. But, as an article at HBR Blog Network points out, a genuine thank you (whether in-person, in an email or in a note) to an employee can have a galvanizing effect, leading to greater employee engagement and effort. For best results, make the thank you specific, personal and detailed.
While thanking the employees who provide your customer service is a great way to keep them motivated and energized, I suggest taking it one step beyond this blog post. You can power up your customer satisfaction by thanking your customers, too. I don't mean the rote "Thank You" that you print on your receipts or say as people leave your restaurant, but a genuine thank you that, like those you give your team, is specific about what the customer did ("Thank you for choosing us to cater your 50th anniversary party."), personal ("We know how important this event was to you and we value the trust you placed in us."), and forward-looking ("We look forward to continuing to earn your business. Please accept this gift certificate good for $X toward your next event.").
We all like to be appreciated—your employees, and your customers, do, too. Why not tell them how much you appreciate them?

text: Science & Tech 3 April 2012 Aspirational medicine Sign up for our weekly email * Chipping Norton has been a bit slow to play its wonder-drug card. But now, surely, being in the constituency of the Prime Minister who dismantled the National Health Service (and being home to Jeremy Clarkson and Rebekah Brooks), it needs to act to save its image. Luckily, the "sour gas" leak from the Elgin rig in the North Sea has provided the perfect opportunity for Chipping Norton's PR people to vaunt the town's status as the source of a miracle health supplement. Sour gas is a combination of methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, but it's hydrogen sulphide that is the big problem. It has the pungent rotten-egg smell you may remember from your school chemistry classes and is hideously toxic to marine life. Yet good PR can spin that: a plentiful supply of hydrogen sulphide might be just what we need in the dying days of the NHS. This is where Chipping Norton comes in. In 1763 the town's curate gave powdered willow bark to 50 parishioners, thereby curing them of their "agues and intermitting disorders". His report to the Royal Society is regarded as the first scientific study of the power of aspirin. Aspirin, a component of willow bark, inhibits the action of enzymes associated with pain and inflammation. That is why it seems to help with arthritis. But aspirin also reduces the stickiness of blood platelets, the fragments of cells that ride around in the bloodstream. When platelets stick together, they create blood clots that can trigger heart attacks and strokes; aspirin reduces the chance of this happening. A low dose of aspirin can cut the risk of stroke and heart attack by a third, reducing deaths by a quarter. Now, it turns out, Chipping Norton's home-grown remedy has the power to prevent and control cancer. Taking a low dose of aspirin for three years can cut cancer cases by roughly a quarter. Three years on aspirin cuts deaths among cancer patients by 15 per cent. After five years, deaths are down 37 per cent. It's thought that the improvement happens because cancerous cells can't ride as easily through the body on platelets that are less sticky. You're probably wondering why you aren't already being told to take aspirin every day. There are a couple of reasons for this. For a start, 20 years of ingesting aspirin would only stave off fatal cancers for about six months – hardly a miracle cure. What's more, there is no free lunch: making blood platelets less sticky increases the risk of dangerous gastric bleeds. This is the core reason why experts still hesitate to recommend that everyone take a daily dose of aspirin, and why you should certainly talk to your doctor before doing so. However, loading an aspirin pill with two gases – nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide – hugely reduces the dangerous effects. Research published in January suggests that this combination can be 100,000 times more potent as an anti-cancer drug than aspirin alone, yet it causes minimal damage to the gut. Have a gas So here's where Cameron's background in PR could come in handy. It would work for Total, operator of the leaking well; for Chipping Norton, the source of our new miracle life-extension drug; and, most importantly, for the government. Yes, hydrogen sulphide is problematic in certain situations, such as an undersea leak, but it can also take away the trouble with aspirin, freeing it to revolutionise health care. So, how about "Total liberates life-saving gas"? Or "We're running the gas well that can make you well"? Or, surely the front-runner: "With an under-regulated petrochemical industry and Chipping Norton's miracle drug, who needs a national health service?"

FBI Orders Fort Hood Investigation
December 8. 2009
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
The FBI has ordered an independent review of the Fort Hood shooting, in light of their terrible, preventable failures as a law enforcement agency, as they had the alleged killer under surveillance for a year prior to the shooting. The FBI showed itself to be very criminally negligent and quite gullible for believing, Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan, was just doing research, via contacting a violent imam, via email and stating his considerable salary from the U.S. military makes him an asset.
So, you mean to tell me, if a journalist or blogger communicated with violent terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, via email, claiming it was for "research purposes" as Hasan did regarding the imam, the FBI would wave that through as acceptable. It that why the "I" in F.B.I. (Federal Bureau Of Investigation) does not stand for "Intelligence" like in the C.I.A (Central Intelligence Agency). For the past year, I've devised another acronym for the letters F.B.I. due to this case, but I'll be nice and not hurt their feelings tonight in saying what.
FBI director appoints judge to review lead up to Fort Hood attack
Tuesday, December 8, 2009; 12:16 PM - FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III has asked former director and retired federal judge William H. Webster to conduct an independent review of the bureau's actions in advance of last month's deadly shootings at Fort Hood, Tex., according to government officials familiar with the move.
This is the first indication that FBI officials are sufficiently concerned about bureau actions in the case that they would order an independent investigation. The Department of Defense already has ordered an inquiry into its handling of the matter.
Webster has been named to put "a second set of eyes" on the policies, procedures and actions pursued by two Joint Terrorism Task Forces in San Diego and Washington that reviewed e-mail messages between accused shooter Maj. Nidal M. Hasan and a radical Yemeni American cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi, the sources said, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the situation...

I cannot stress enough that healing your gut is critical to overcoming acne and all other related health issues. Sleep, exercise, stress management, and social interaction are also very important. Status as of 04/15/2016: Renu 28 honestly seems to have helped my skin. Usually I am very skeptical of topical treatments because acne is the result of hidden internal stressors (hormones, gut bacteria, food sensitivities, blood sugar response, etc.) but this seems to have provided some level of relief.

New Port Richey
Woman cited for too many strays
A woman who has harbored stray cats and dogs in her home for years has been slapped with a $12,013 citation.
Officials discovered 17 cats and 16 dogs in Maleka Sharay's 1,368-square-foot home, although she had been told to get rid of some of them after neighbors complained.
Sharay said she plans to fight the citation, which she can't afford. She estimates that she's found homes for hundreds of animals in the past decade.

9 Electric have released the single, 'Feel This', in advance of their upcoming tour in support of Powerman 5000.
The band's brand of electronic hard rock is certain to appeal to fans of PM5K so the tour makes perfect sense for a band trying to spread their message nationally.
9 Electric have made quite the name for themselves in the Los Angeles area in the short time since their formation in 2011. That being said, what works in L.A. doesn't necessarily work in Texas. Check out the single and help us decide if it's worthy of the Buzz playlist.

COSEWIC Status Reports
COSEWIC assessment and status report on the Canary Rockfish Sebastes pinniger in Canada (2008)Canary rockfish (French: sébaste canari) (Sebastes pinniger) is one of 102 species of the genus Sebastes, of which at least 36 species are present in B.C. waters. Canary rockfish have been managed in B.C. waters as two principal stocks: a southern or west coast of Vancouver Island stock and a central, or Queen Charlotte Sound stock north of Vancouver Island. Although there is evidence for a biogeographical boundary at the north end of Vancouver Island, which could be considered a boundary between northern and southern populations of canary rockfish, this report treats canary rockfish as a single designatable unit in B.C. waters. Fishers report that canary rockfish are abundant in more northern areas, particularly off the west coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands; but landings from these areas have been limited owing to the lack of trawlable ground. The B.C. population probably overlaps to some extent with U.S. populations.

NEW YORK (Jul. 17)
The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds is coordinating a current effort to aid Jewish communities in Western Pennsylvania and New York which were damaged by tropical storm Agnes last month. The effort was announced by Max M. Fisher, CJF president. Fisher reported that CJF staff and members of other national Jewish agencies had visited the affected communities.
In Wilkes-Barre, one of the hardest hit by the storm, most of the 1500 Jewish families have moved temporarily to other cities. There, as in Elmira, NY and Harrisburg, Pa., special funds and bank loans are being made available to the stricken families, Fisher said. Trained staff has been sent to help in replacing damaged religious articles and in restoring synagogues, according to Fisher. People from neighboring towns are also aiding in the cleanup and fund-raising actions.

(wanted to re-post this since I'll be publishing my idea for a follow-up movie in the near future)
I recently saw X-Men First Class and decided that I wasn't a fan of it. I still didn't understand the reasoning of calling it First Class when no one, except for Beast, from the original first generation of X-Men was in the movie.
This led to a discussion between my brother, my cousin, and I about who we would want to see in an X-Men movie and what actors we would want to be in those roles. Suffice to say that we came up with some interesting choices.
The focus would be that the X-Men should be young with the exception of the, logically, older characters. But while we were arguing about who should play as what character I started coming up with an original story idea that had nothing to do with any of the previous X-Men movies.
Quickly I came up with a basic plot, while including some potential side stories in there, and surprisingly found myself with a plot that could lead into a second and third movies.
So let me know what you think of the story and the cast of characters that we came up with (we didn't really focus much on the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants so that is open for what characters would be seen and who would play them.).
Movie opens with the X-Men stopping the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, led by Magneto and White Queen, in their plot to assassinate Bolliver Trask. As the confrontation between the X-Men and the Brotherhood take place Gambit is killing off the Morlocks and collecting their genetic material.
The X-Men are successful in stopping the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and return to the Mansion. Meanwhile the Brotherhood returns to their lair only to be attacked by Mr. Sinister who is after Magneto, Mystique, and White Queen to collect their DNA and kill them.
Mr. Sinister is successful in acquiring the DNA while killing Toad, Pyro, and Avalanche while seriously injuring Mystique. However he fails to kill Magneto and White Queen in the attack.
(Rogue and Nightcrawler visit Mystique in the hospital and try to resolve their differences. Cyclops and Jean Grey begin to develop a relationship with each other.)
With the collected DNA Sinister creates a group of genetically engineered mutants whose growth is accelerated. Led by Gambit they are used to attack the Mansion in order to go after Cyclops and Jean Grey because Mr. Sinister believes that their DNA will provide the best combination for creating the most powerful mutants.
The X-Men repel the attack but Cyclops and Jean Grey are taken. Magneto and White Queen, along with the surviving members of the Brotherhood, go to the X-Men to recommend that both sides work together to stop Mr. Sinister.
Both sides come to an uneasy truce in order to recover Cyclops and Jean Grey and to stop Sinister from creating more of the genetically engineered mutants and trying to take over the world.
(Storm is unwillingly thrust into the role as leader of the X-Men since Cyclops was taken)
A large fight takes place in Mr. Sinister's lair who, along with Gambit and the genetically engineered and grown mutants, try to repel the X-Men and Brotherhood. Mr. Sinister runs away with all his data and genetic material while Gambit is taken out by Rogue who absorbed his powers and partially broke Sinister's control over him. Cyclops and Jean Grey are rescued but have no recollection of what happened to them.
(In the fight with Sinister Rogue grabs Gambit absorbing some of his memories and partially breaking Sinister's hold on him. This leads to Gambit falling for Rogue and setting up his defection to the X-Men.)
The movie ends with Bishop showing up a couple months afterwards and warning the X-Men that the children of Cyclops and Jean Grey, grown and brainwashed by Mr. Sinister, killed the X-Men and took over the world.
Bishop reveals that he travelled back from that future in order to try and change it.
The last shot is Mr. Sinister and the adult versions of Cable and Phoenix walking out from the shadows of his new research lab (note: because of the accelerated growth Cable and Phoenix will look a lot older than Cyclops and Jean Grey).
This sets up the second movie…

Federico Soriano Pelaez shared with us their third prize winning proposal for the New Taipei City Museum of Art. Their aim was to design a museum which contains all museums. A museum which is the entirety of all the museums in the world. They collected 100 of the most important museums of art from around the world. It is architecture as a refined abstraction of a historic landscape. It is a recollection of generic fragments from the plans of the museums from around the world which will be inserted into the Taipei City Museum of Art. More images and project description after the break.

Arora's detention centre plans defeated
The Crawley Borough Council's Development Control Committee has rejected, by 14 votes to 1, the planning application by Arora International Hotels for permission to convert its 254-bed hotel near Gatwick airport into an immigration detention centre. Since news of the application transpired last year, Arora had been subject to a concerted campaign by anti-detention campaign, with protests and actions at Arora hotels throughout the country.

Highgate Farm protester sentenced to 3 years in prison
An animal rights activist has been sentenced to three years imprisonment by a judge at Lincoln Crown Court for his alleged role in a break-in at Highgate Farm in Lincolnshire, which breeds rabbits and ferrets for the vivisection industry, including the notorious Huntingdon Life Sciences. Lewis Pogson's conviction was the latest in a series of cases stretching the definition of 'blackmail' for use against anti-corporate campaigners. Lewis has already served three months of his sentence on remand.

Anti-nuclear activists disrupt parliamentary select committee
Two anti-nuclear activists unfurled a banner reading 'Local Democracy Dumped' during a meeting of the Department of Energy and Climate Change parliamentary select committee on the proposed nuclear and other energy national policy on Wednesday. A third activist handed out briefings about why nuclear power is unacceptable and an inappropriate technology for tacking climate change. The three activists, along with a forth taking photographs, were taken away and held for over two hours for alleged breaches of the House regulations, before being released and banned from the Parliamentary estate for the rest of the day. Representatives of energy giants EDF, E.ON and RWE npower and of the Association of Electricity Producers were giving evidence before the committee of MPs. Two days earlier, a group of nine anti-nuclear campaigners staged a two-hour protest outside the Nuclear New Build Conference in central London in protest at industry attempts to paint nuclear power as a 'green' technology and win public support for new nuclear reactors.

Unemployed workers picket A4e in Cambridge
A new activist group calling itself the Unemployed Workers Union (UWU) held a picket last week at A4e offices in Cambridge. A4e, or Action For Employment, is a private company that specialises in providing employment and training services on behalf of Jobcentre Plus. It is one of the main contractors for delivering the Flexible New Deal programme, for example, where people are forced to work up to six hours a day at so-called work placements in order to 'earn' their benefits.
The next issue of the Corporate Watch newsletter is about this 'unemployment business'. So look out for it!

Quality food at a reasonable price, with fast and friendly service.
That's what Paul and Sharon Herriott have lived by for some 35 years as owners of one of Vacaville's "landmarks," Diggers Deli.
Their reign of the popular restaurant in Alamo Plaza, however, has come to an end.
They will retire soon but, instead of closing, they are hoping to sell the deli to someone that will keep the tradition alive of offering good food in a friendly atmosphere.
"We've made the decision," Paul Herriott said. "We're hoping to sell but, even if it doesn't come about, we'll close."
"It will be bittersweet," Sharon Herriott said. "I would like to come back to visit with my friends. It would be odd not to have a Diggers."
If the couple can't find a buyer, the deli will likely close at the end of May.
"He's worked since he was 10 years old," she said. "It will be hard on Paul, but, when you really don't want to leave, you'll find any little thing as a reason to hold on."
They're looking forward to spending time with grandchildren, while Paul addresses some health issues, they said.
More than three decades ago, Paul gave up a stable job as a salesman to live his dream of opening a deli. A deal to open a deli in Placerville fell through, but an opportunity opened in Vacaville. After debating a name, the couple stuck with their original plan to go along with the mining theme and open a "Diggers."
"She was willing to give it all up to just try," he said of his wife.
He added that the odds were stacked against him, given that 95 percent of food businesses fail in five years.
"Looks like I beat the odds," Paul said.
"I even answer to Mrs. Digger, even though that's not my name," Sharon joked.
She also recalled a time when they first moved to Vacaville and opened the restaurant that she was asked to deliver an order to Mrs. Buck, the matriarch of the well-known Vacaville family.
"I didn't know Vacaville, so I asked for the address," she said, laughing. "Now I know where Buck Street and Buck Mansion are."
What's the key to their success?
"We treat our customers like friends and family," Paul said.
Toni McAlpin, who has worked at Diggers for 18 years, would agree.
"I really do believe they come for us," she said of her co-workers overflowing with pleasant personalities. "It's a great place to work. It's a family here and I like people."
She boasts that she can remember everybody's sandwich and joked that she wouldn't let customers change their minds.
"You name it, we've had it," she said. "People come in here from all walks of life and we treat everyone the same."
Florence Miller is 75 years old and has worked alongside the Herriotts for 33 years.
"I love the customers," she said. "We have the best customers in the world. When they come in mad or grumpy, they leave laughing."
Robert Triplett rode with a bicycling crew on their "Diggers Run" Friday morning for their coffee.
"It's a landmark here," he said.
Bob Pendleton, who has been a deli customer for 20 years, also rode his bike.
"I think they'll let us come to their house for coffee," he said after hearing that the restaurant could close. "It's a lovely place and that's all too rare these days. It feels like family."
It's truly been about the customers.
"A lot of things we sell, the customers initiated," Paul said
He added that when customers asked if they could drag the tables outside to eat, he decided to buy new tables for seating outside.
"It's all about what the customer wants," Paul said. "This business developed around the customers."
