Canada Post earns profit, gets boost from parcels and lower pension costs
OTTAWA - The Canada Post Group of Companies reported Wednesday a net profit of $67 million in the second quarter, boosted by growth in its parcel delivery business and lower pension costs
The result was up from a loss of $50 million in the same period a year ago as revenue for the group, which includes the postal service, the Purolator courier service and other businesses, totalled $2.007 billion for the 13 weeks ended June 28, up from $1.862 billion a year ago.
All that prompted a call from the union representing many of its workers to find alternatives to cutting services.
"When our post office has been profitable for most of the last two decades, the types of cuts that Canada Post and the (federal) Conservatives are trying to impose on us are completely unnecessary," Denis Lemelin, national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said in a statement.
"We need to do what the rest of the world is doing and make the post office a better service, not a lack of service."
Canada Post, the group's largest division, earned $42 million in the second quarter, compared with a loss of $71 million in the same period a year earlier.
The traditional post office segment saw its revenue from operations climb 10 per cent to $1.56 billion, up from $1.35 billion in the comparable period of 2013, helped by higher stamp prices, provincial elections in Ontario and Quebec and increased parcel shipments.
Transactional mail revenue was $823 million, up from $732 million a year ago, even as the volume of mail slipped 2.3 per cent. Parcel revenue increased by 11.3 per cent to $353 million in the second quarter compared with $322 million a year ago.
Direct marketing revenue slipped to $308 million from $310 million, while other revenue totalled $75 million, up from $71 million in the same quarter last year.
Also helping boost the results was a $58-million reduction in employee benefit costs due to strong pension fund investment returns and an increase in interest rates used to calculate pension costs. However, the company warned that future employee benefit costs, including pensions, continue to be "high volatile and unpredictable."
Meanwhile, Purolator earned $20 million for the quarter on revenue from operations of $427 million, up from a profit of $18 million on $412 million in revenue in the same quarter last year.
Canada Post's logistics business, which includes SCI Group, earned $3 million on $52 million in revenue from operations, up from $2 million on $43 million in revenue a year ago.
The Crown corporation announced a plan late last year to phase out home delivery within five years and raise stamp prices.
It also said it would look to eliminate 6,000 to 8,000 positions over the same time period, mainly through attrition.
Canada Post said it continues to stay on course with its plan to cut down operating costs. In February, it installed community mailboxes for 100,000 addresses in 11 communities across Canada.
A total of 1.17 million conversions will be completed by 2015. It also raised prices for letter mail to better reflect inflation and operating costs.

I am innocent, OJ declares in interview
Friday 13 October 1995
Hours after pulling out of a scheduled television interview, OJ Simpson called the New York Times to proclaim his innocence and give his first extensive comments on life after acquittal for double murder by a Los Angeles jury - though not by the majority of the American people.
In a 45-minute conversation, the former football star told the paper's media correspondent, Bill Carter, that he had not killed his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman and that, despite polls showing up to 70 per cent of Americans sure of his guilt, "I don't think most of America believes I did it.''
Explaining his decision to cancel the NBC interview, which would have been one of the most watched events in US television history, Simpson said he bowed to the unanimous advice of his lawyers, concerned that anything he said might be used in the civil suits against him brought by the Goldman and Brown families: "They told me I was being set up; they felt the interview would be tantamount to a grand jury hearing.''
But he insisted: "I am an innocent man." He declared himself willing to "sit and debate" the case at any time with Marcia Clark, the lead state prosecutor. Simpson denied he was about to marry his girlfriend, Paula Barbieri. Nor had his "Dream Team" of defence attorneys bled him dry: "I still have my Ferrari ... my Bentley ... my home in Brentwood ... my apartment in New York."
The saga of the interview denied and the interview granted marks another step in the passage of the Simpson affair from tragedy to surreal farce. Tom Brokaw - NBC's star anchorman, who was to have conducted the "no-holds- barred" encounter on Wednesday - interrupted programming to break the news of the cancellation with a gravity comparable to Franklin Roosevelt telling America about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The non-event created a furore nearly as great as the real thing. Mr Brokaw's historic statement was replayed in news bulletins through the evening, while the media have had another field day talking about themselves - a subject dearer to their hearts than any, except OJ.
Elsewhere, the lunacy continues. Mark Fuhrman, the racist LAPD officer at the centre of the case, was reported to be in Bermuda - a titbit that sent film crews scurrying there.But he proved to be one Mark Furman (without the "h''), a bemused New Jersey lawyer.

A solar tracker for a solar collector which is angularly oriented by a motor wherein the outputs of two side-by-side photodetectors are discriminated as to three ranges, a first corresponding to a low light or darkness condition; a second corresponding to light intensity lying in an intermediate range; and a third corresponding to light above an intermediate range, direct sunlight. The first output drives the motor to a selected maximum easterly angular position; the second enables the motor to be driven westerly at the earth rotational rate; and the third output, the separate outputs of the two photodetectors, differentially controls the direction of rotation of the motor to effect actual tracking of the sun.
1. A solar tracker for and commonly mounted with a solar collector comprising:
first and second photodetectors mounted together and oriented to receive equal quantities of light when a center line separating the photodetectors is aimed at the sun;
a reversible motor and mechanical drive means coupling said motor to said photodetectors for varying the angle of view of said photodetectors and solar collectors easterly and westerly with respect to the sun;
first electrical drive means for driving said motor in a first direction;
second electrical drive means for driving said motor in an opposite direction;
first signal means responsive to a lower than a first selected level output of said photodetectors for providing an input to said first electrical drive means until said photodetectors are oriented at a selected easterly angular position;
second signal means responsive to an electrical output level of each of said photodetectors which is greater than said first selected level, and the output level of at least one of said photodetectors is less than a second and selected higher level for applying an input to said second drive means for driving said motor for rotation of said photodetectors at an earth rate rotation in a westerly direction;
third signal means responsive to a signal value output from each of said photodetectors which is greater than said second selected value for inhibiting said second signal means and responsive to combined outputs of both of said photodetectors for, alternately, providing either a signal to said first drive means or second drive means, depending upon which of said photodetectors is providing the higher output;
whereby upon the occurrence of darkness, said photodetectors are driven to a selected eastern angular position to await sunrise;
upon the occurrence of daylight which is less than full sunlight either just before sunrise over the terrain or during periods when the sun is obscured by clouds, the photodetectors are oriented at an angular rate as if they were tracking the sun; and
upon the appearance of the sun, the photodetectors are oriented by actual tracking of the sun and thereby the solar collector commonly mounted with said photodetectors.
2. A solar tracker as set forth in claim 1 wherein an enclosure separately encloses each said photodetector, and each enclosure has a light aperture through which a said photodetector is exposed to the sun.
3. A solar tracker as set forth in claim 2 wherein:
each said light aperture is rectangular, having a length, or long dimension, generally extending north and south, and a width, or short dimension, generally extending east and west; and
each said photodetector being similarly rectangular and having a photoresponsive surface in a plane generally parallel with a said aperture and spaced from a said aperture.
4. A solar tracker as set froth in claim 3 wherein the relative positions of said apertures and widths of each said aperture are selected so that when said center line separating said photodetectors is aimed at the sun, one-half of the responsive area of each cell receives direct sunlight through an aperture.
5. A solar tracker as set forth in claim 4 wherein the length of each aperture is such that the sun will fully expose the length of a photodetector in winter and summer for the latitude of use.
6. A solar tracker as set forth in claim 5 wherein the width dimension of a said responsive area of a said photodetector is approximately 0.5 cm, the length dimension of a photoresponsive area is approximately 1 cm, the width dimension of a said aperture is approximately 0.4 cm, the length dimension of a said aperture is approximately 3 cm, and the spacing from an aperture to a said responsive area of a said cell is approximately 2.3 cm.
7. A solar tracker as set forth in claim 5 wherein said photodetectors are current generating solar cells.
The invention described herein was made by employees of the United States Government and may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to photoelectric type solar tracking systems, and particularly to a system for maintaining a solar collector with its responsive surface normal to the sun as the sun traverses the sky from sunrise to sunset.
2. General Description of the Prior Art
Solar collectors, typically panels 18 to 24 inches in width and six to ten feet in length wherein either air or liquid is heated by the sun, are generally tilted along their length to the latitude of use. For improved efficiency, they should also have their responsive surface maintained normal to the sun's rays as the sun traverses the sky from east to west. This is particularly so, if not a must, with concentrating type collectors. Thus, it is well known to rotably mount a solar collector about a north-south axis and to by some means rotate it from east to west to follow the sun. Typically, such a means includes a pair of photocells mounted on the solar collector, one of which views the eastern quadrant (90�) of the horizon (when the collector and cells are positioned with their responsive area in a horizontal plane), and one of which views the western quadrant of the horizon. A difference in outputs between the cells indicates an error point at the sun, and thus the outputs of the cells may and are used to correctly position a collector. The applicants have found, however, that this capability alone is insufficient. Particularly they have observed that clouds, particularly a single bright cloud, can draw a photocell pointing away from pointing at the sun and causes a drive system to erronously point a collector.
In accordance with this invention, the sun is observed by a photosensor consisting of two side-by-side photocells, each directly viewing the sky over a relatively small angle, e.g., 15�. One photocell effectively views easterly over this angle, and the other effectively views westerly over this angle. Outputs from the cells are differentially detected to effect tracking of the sun during periods when the output of each cell is of sufficient amplitude to indicate direct viewing of the sun unobscured by a cloud. When at least one of the cells is obscured by a cloud, means are provided to shift from a tracking mode to a pointing mode wherein the collector, and the sensor mounted on it, are rotated at the earth rotational rate. To enable starting each day with the collector correctly aimed at the sun at sunrise, darkness is sensed the evening before, and the collector is rotated to an anticipated selected sunrise angle of the sun.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a top view of a solar cell assembly employed as a tracking sensor.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view along lines 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view along lines 4--4 of FIG. 2.
Referring to FIG. 1, it is contemplated that this invention would have principal application with solar collectors, such as solar collector 10, which are mounted as by a pivot 12, with an axis along a north-south line so that the solar collector might be rotated about this axis to follow the sun as it progresses from each to west across the sky.
A sensor 14 is centrally mounted on solar collector 10, and thus it, too, is adapted to be rotated with the solar collector. Referring to FIGS. 2-4 a pair of like conventional silicon solar cells 16 and 18, having in this example a 1 cm by 0.5 cm responsive surface, are positioned on either side of opaque partition 20 in housing 22. Electrical terminals 24 and 26 from cell 16 extend through the bottom of housing 22, and electrical output terminals 28 and 30 from solar cell 18 extend similarly through housing 22. Light openings 32 and 34 enable selected exposure of solar cells 16 and 18 to the sun. Each of the light openings are sized and positioned so as to form acquisition and tracking apertures for the solar cells. Partition 20 lies along a plane coincident with the pivot or pivot axis 12 (FIG. 1) of solar collector 10; and thus when sensor 14 is aimed so that the plane of partition 20 bisects the sun, one-half of the area of each of the cells receives direct, not shadowed, rays from the sun. As shown, and with partition 20 lying along a vertical, north-south, plane, cell 18 is regarded as the east cell, and cell 16 is regarded as the west cell. Openings 32 and 34 are approximately 0.4 cm in width and 3 cm in length. The width determines the acquisition angle, and the length of each window is such to assure that a summer and winter sun will expose the full length of a cell. The cells are positioned approximately 2.3 cm from the inside edge of the openings or apertures. The wall thickness of each aperture is approximately 0.24 cm. Assuming that collector 10 is stationary, as the sun relatively moves westward, the exposed area of west cell 16 will increase, and the exposed area of east cell 18 will decrease simultaneously. This area change is directly proportional to the angular movement of the sun, and the arrangement of the cells in the circuitry is such that a linear electrical output is obtained from the cells up to a �5� sun angle. Output signals from the cells are employed to effect tracking of the sun by collector 10, which is motor driven, as will be described.
The greatest angle required for acquisition of the sun will occur between the time the morning light passes through a daylight threshold and the time that flux intensity is high enough for acquisition and tracking to commence, as will be further described. This time can range from a few minutes where there is very clearly early morning light to an all day period where there is simply no direct sunlight. When there is no direct sunlight, collector 10 and sensor 14 are rotated at the earth rotational rate. When this does become necessary, the system accuracy is such that there will be created less than a 5� error in angle over a full day of operation. This allows for sun acquisition to take place, if necessary, at the end of a day. This error will be a function of the stability of the electrical components chosen and the winter-summer temperatures and their effect upon the repeatability of the power drive system which drives the collector and sensor.
The inside of housing 22 is black to increase the sensor selectivity to incident light. The outside of housing 22 is typically painted white in order to reflect the sun's heat to keep down the inside housing temperatures. Silicon cells are chosen for cells 16 and 18 because of their wide light bandwidth and their stability of operation in an environment of extreme temperature change. The cell size for cells 16 and 18, 1 cm by 0.5 cm, was chosen because of commercial availability of this size and because the electrical output of such sized cells is the greatest which is compatible with input limitations of a standard operational amplifier such as the LM741. Windows 36 and 38, of transparent material, are positioned over openings 32 and 34 of housing 22 in order to generally protect the cells and wiring from atmospheric contamination. The windows can be polarized or comprise infrared type filters where it is desired to increase the light wavelength selectivity of the cells. Of course, any cells whose voltage outputs are proportional to solar flux can also be used.
Scattered or non-directional light raises the level of the sensor outputs but should not be used in directional determinations. In the case of the present system, the magnitude of light is used to determine whether a tracking or pointing (at the earth rotational rate) mode of operation is used, and it is important that scattered light be kept to a minimum. This is assisted by the small apertures of the openings which reduce scattered light from bright nearby clouds.
Output terminals 24 and 26 from cell 16 connect to cable 40 which connects as an input to west cell current to voltage converter 42 (FIG. 1), and terminals 28 and 30 connect to cable 44 which feeds east cell current to voltage converter 46. Converters 42 and 46 also include low pass filters which function to reduce noise frequencies. The solar cell outputs of converters 42 and 46 are supplied to three control circuits, tracking control circuit 48, east return control circuit 50, and pointing control circuit 52.
With respect to tracking control circuit 48, the output of converter 46 is applied to the inverting input of operational amplifier 54, and the output of converter 42 is connected to the non-inverting input of amplifier 54. Amplifier 54 functions as a linear differential tracking amplifier. Thus, its output varies in sign and amplitude in accordance with the algebraic sum of its inputs. One output of amplifier 54, which will appear finite and negative when the higher input to amplifier 54 is from east solar cell 18, is applied to and inverted in inverting amplifier or analog inverter 60. The output of analog inverter 60 is fed through positive-pass diode 61 and inhibitor 66 (when not inhibited) to one input of OR gate 68, thence to east drive relay 70. A second output of amplifier 54, a positive output, occurs when the output from west solar cell 16 is greater than from east solar cell 16. It is fed through positive-pass diode 71 and inhibitor 72 (when not inhibited), then through OR gate 74, and then to a second inhibitor 76. When not inhibited, an output from inhibitor 76 is fed to west drive relay 78. Diodes 61 and 71 enable an appropriate signal conversion from a differential output of operational amplifier 54 to positive operating logic circuitry.
Assuming that no inhibiting signals are applied to inhibitors 66, 72 and 76, and one of the outputs of solar cells 16 and 18 is greater than the other, a turn-on signal will be applied to one of the drive relays.
Actual mechanical drive of solar collector 10 and of sensor 14 is effected by reversible motor 80 which is driven by one or the other of the drive relays. Motor 80 is powered by a 110-volt AC source through normally open contacts of the drive relays and leads 82, 84 and 86. When operated in a tracking mode wherein the drive relays are operated from signals from amplifier 54, motor 80 is driven in a direction which will produce a balanced output, which will occur when sensor 14 is correctly pointed at the sum.
As one form of motor drive of solar collector 10 and sensor 14, a threaded sleeve 88 is attached to shaft 90 of motor 80, and it in turn engages threaded rod 92, pivotally connected at point 94 to solar collector 10. Solar collector 10 rotates as described on a north-south axis indicated by pivot 12.
In order to limit the excursion of angular operation of solar collector 10, there is provided a normally closed east limit switch 96 and west limit switch 98 connected in series with the outputs of east drive relay 70 and west drive relay 78, respectively. Thus, when solar collector 10 is driven angularly to the east to a point where operating arm 100 engages limit switch 96, limit switch 96 will open; and when collector 10 is driven angularly to the west to a point where arm 102 engages limit switch 98, then switch 98 is opened. The east limit switch is adjusted for a selected sunrise angle of the collector, and the west limit switch is adjusted to simply prevent drive beyond the capabilities of the drive system.
East return control circuit 50 provides means for driving motor 80 to rotate solar collector 10 to a selected sunrise angle. This is accomplished the evening before sunrise by sensing dusk. Control circuit 50 employs an east sunset comparator 104 and west sunset comparator 106, being separately driven by outputs from converters 46 and 42, respectively. The comparators are amplifiers biased to produce a low output with a signal input resulting from a light condition above a selected level (above dusk light level) and a high output when the signal is lower, indicating a dark or dusk light condition. The reference level of the comparators is provided by a reference bias source 108. As shown, the outputs of comparators 104 and 106 are fed to AND gate 109 so that there will be a high output from AND gate 109 only when both of the solar cell signals are high, positively indicating a general condition of low light, dusk or dark. The high or night indicating output of AND gate 109 is fed through OR gate 68 to power east drive relay 70 to cause it to turn on motor 80 and drive solar collector 10 in an easterly direction until motor 80 is turned off by the operation of limit switch 96. The high output of AND gate 109 is also applied to inhibitor 76, which operates to block any signal flow to west drive relay 78 when the output of AND gate 109 is high. Otherwise, and during sunlight, inhibitor 76 does not block signal flow. Thus, each night collector 10 is effecitively operated to be aimed at the sun and thus ready for sunrise the next morning.
As described in the discussion of the Background of the Invention, a well known problem with solar tracking drives is that unless the sun is pretty much directly viewable, signals derived from photoelectric or solar cell scanners may not correctly indicate the angle of the sun. The present invention takes this into account, and thus by means of pointing control circuit 52, cloudy conditions are detected and a constant rate (rotation rate of each drive operation) is substituted for the actual tracking type drive operation described above. Pointing control circuit 52 employs west intermediate light (ILD) comparator 110 and east intermediate light (ILD) comparator 112 driven, respectively, from outputs from converters 42 and 46. Comparators 110 and 112 are amplifiers which are biased to provide a low output for light levels of at least a selected value, that is, anticipated from direct sunlight and otherwise to provide a high output. Reference bias 113 provides a bias level to comparators 110 and 112 to effect this. The outputs of comparators 110 and 112 are applied to AND gate 114, and as a result, the output of AND gate 114 goes high when either of comparators 110 and 112 fails to detect a direct sunlight condition. Such high output of AND gate 114 operates inhibitors 66 and 72 to thus block tracking signal flow from tracking amplifier 54 to the drive relays. At the same time, that is, with less than direct sunlight, the high output from AND gate 114 is inverted by inverter 116 to become low, and as such, inhibitor 118 is no longer inhibited; and this enables a drive signal from free running pulse generator 120 to be applied through OR gate 74 to west drive relay 78. Pulse generator 120 provides constant width pulses at a constant rate such that west drive relay 78 is operated on for such periods as to generally effect an earth rotation rate, westerly rotation, of collector 10 by motor 80. This rate is 0.025� per minute. By this means, collector 10 follows or points at the sun when at least one of photocells 16 and 18 does not directly view the sun.
When the sun clearly appears to solar cells 16 and 18, there will occur an increased level of signal to comparators 110 and 112 (greater than from reference 113), and the outputs from these comparators will go low. As a result, the output of AND gate 114 will go low, and inhibitors 66 and 72 will be disabled, enabling signal flow from tracking amplifier 54 to east and west drive relays 70 and 78, and thus there will be resumed a normal tracking mode of operation. This is enabled by the low signal being converted to a high signal by inverter 116 and applied to inhibitor 118 which thereafter blocks signal flow from pulse generator 120 to west drive relay 78.
Tracking will continue unless such operation is interrupted by clouds which would be sensed by a decreased level of signal fed to at least one of comparators 110 and 112, causing operation to revert to a constant rate drive operation as controlled by pulse generator 120.
At nightfall, or sunset, sunset comparators 104 and 106 will sense a low light level, their outputs will go high, and the output of AND gate 109 will provide an inhibiting signal to inhibitor 76 which will stop any westward signal input from being applied to west drive relay 78. At the same time, the high output signal from AND gate 109 will be applied through OR gate 68 to east drive relay 70, which will then cause motor 80 to be driven in a direction to rotate solar collector 10 eastward until stopped by limit switch 96. At this point, the collector will be ready aimed to receive the sun at sunrise the next morning.
While in a tracking mode, motor drive actually occurs at pulsed intervals corresponding to periods of error signal. The circuit is designed for a pulse duration to reduce an error voltage (the sum of input voltages) detected by amplifier 54 to zero and consequently achieve a zero sun angle error. The off-time, which is a function of light intensity, represents the time it takes the sun to move approximately 0.025� and is about one minute. Hysteresis is provided by a positive feedback loop from the outputs of inhibitors 66 and 72 and through, respectively, feedback resistors 122 and 124 to the separate inputs of amplifier 54. This optimizes the motor on-off time to prevent frequency on-off cycling and unnecessary wear on the motor.
Since the comparators employed compare the light levels of both cells simultaneously, the system discriminates against following a bright cloud seen only by one solar cell. If this should occur, the light from the cloud will most probably be less than the threshold level of comparators 110 and 112 which will cause the system to instantly change from a tracking to a pointing mode. In a point mode, the motor is, as stated above, time pulses to effect a westward drive on solar collector 10 at the earth rate until both cells directly view the sun.
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that the present invention comprehensively deals with all sky conditions likely to be met and provides a system which will operate unattended with accuracy and dependability.

Reports » Malaysia
Malaysia stock market and companies daily report (April 04, 2014)
BHIC Considering O&G Exploration And Extraction Work
- Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation (BHIC) is eyeing the exploration and extraction segment of the oil and gas (O&G) business, which is capital intensive and comes with higher risks.
- The group is looking to form joint ventures with parties who have the expertise and experience in the O&G exploration and extraction business.
- Nonetheless, BHIC will continue to capitalise on the potential of the offshore O&G sector through its chief competency of shipbuilding by servicing the industry in the area of building floating production storage and offloading vessels, barges as well as offshore support vessels.
Significance: BHIC is looking to tap on Petronas' large capital expenditure on putting up infrastructure as well as the potential growth in the O&G sector in the region, especially Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar.
Pharmaniaga Ventures Into Saudi Arabia
- Pharmaniaga is planning to set up a manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia to produce various types of drugs to cater to the Middle East and North African markets via a 50:50 joint venture with Saudi-based Modern Healthcare Solutions Company. The initial investment will amount to about RM60 million over three years.
- Finalising the feasibility studies on the venture and given an average commissioning period of about three years, the plant is expected to be operational in 2017. The plant will be constructed in a special industrial zone in Riyadh and is entitled to incentives from the Saudi government.
- The company has been actively expanding and has recently completed the acquisition of pharmaceutical products manufacturer in Indonesia, to tap into the large market potential for pharmaceutical products in the country.
Significance: The group's expansion plans will help to boost its growth. Furthermore, it has budgeted a minimum of 5 percent for research and development on phyto-medicine and could be the first company to produce this medication if successful.
AmResearch: "Hold" MAH With Target Price Of RM8.40
- AirAsia and AirAsia X are said to keep their airline operations at the current low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Sepang and have not made the necessary preparations to move into KLIA2, despite the transport ministry saying the LCCT will be shut down by 9 May.
- This is due to a number of underlying issues such as the security and safety of the airport, coupled with the potential rise in airport charges and passenger service charge.
- Significantly, China accounted for 7 percent of total tourist arrivals in 2013. With the recent MH370 incident, a drop in tourist arrivals would impact the airport. AmResearch estimates that a 1 percent drop in international passenger movements will result in a 1.4 percent decline in FY14 earnings for Malaysia Airports Holdings (MAH), while a 1 percent drop in LCCT will cause a 0.5 percent decline in earnings.
Significance: AmResearch expects MAH's share price performance to be muted in the near term. Maintain "Hold" with unchanged fair value of RM8.40.

Magic Mike is getting a sequel, and details are finally starting to be revealed! The casting news of Magic Mike XXL is slowly trickling, and new additions include Jade Pinkett-Smith, Amber Heard and Andie MacDowell. (As for the details of their actual roles, all we know so far is that Pinkett-Smith's character was originally written for a man — and that is not stripping in the flick!)
10 Things 'Scandal' Gets Totally Wrong About Love
Let's face it, Scandal is so good because the characters can be so terrible to the ones they love. After all, the entire show started on the scandal of Olivia sleeping with the very-much married President named Fitz. Then there was the scandal of him having sex with yet another young girl in the White House —who ended up pregnant and murdered. A lot has happened since then, but the show has never ceased to give us juicy examples of terrible relationship choices.
10 Couples Who Split From The Reality Show Curse
Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriarch, separated from hubby Bruce Jenner last year, amicably so. The mom of lots of female children with "K" first names has just filed for divorce, sounding the death knell for the marriage, which became public fodder when the many Kardsahian reality shows caught fire.
21 Signs You're Obsessed with 'Grey's Anatomy'
Season 10 of Grey's Anatomy was so bittersweet. Spoiler alert: Don't read on if you haven't seen it yet! Christina leaving the show was pretty much a sob fest for those of us who have dedicated almost a decade to Meredith Grey and Christina Yang's friendship. On that note, Derek and Meredith are also on the rocks, which while not unusual, you never know what Shondaland might do at the end of the season. She's like the female version of G.R.R. Martin.
16 Celebs Who Refuse To Put A Ring On It
Marriage is that thing that you're supposed to do when you've been dating someone for a while and the girl breaks the guys will and he agrees to throw a big party that they claim is about the both of them but is really all about the girl. (It's also the first time that the birds and the bees are supposed to be invited, but they've probably been around for a while.) It's that thing that you do when you want to force your friends to spend more money in one weekend than they're comfortable spending, especially when it's on you.
19 Things You Probably Forgot About 'Scandal' Season 3
Thursdays on ABC are back. Between Meredith Grey and Olivia Pope, "Thank God It's Thursday" is the best thing that could've ever happened to us. We go home, gather our ladies, pop open multiple bottles of (red) wine and thank God for Shonda Rhimes, the best damn TV producer/creator of all time.
13 Stars Who Survived Domestic Violence & Learned To Love Again
The world was shocked when it was revealed that Modern Family starlet Sarah Hyland suffered domestic violence from her longtime boyfriend, Matt Prokop. The couple seemed inseparable, and there was no indication of any acrimony when they split after five years together.
No Love Lost: 13 Of The Most Scandalous Celebrity Feuds Ever
Celeb feuds have become a badge of honor. Most celebs have engaged in at least one major feud in their career. Some celebs, like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, have been embroiled in multiple verbal battles and wars of words that often play out in seriously ugly fashion in media and in gossip columns. The fights are more about one ups via Twitter; there's no hairpulling and very rarely do they come to blows. Sometimes the feuders hug it out; sometimes the feuds drag on for years.
10 Celebrities Who Got Their Big Breaks In Porn
Here's a bit of advice: If you want to be an actor, actress, singer, accountant, dog walker, whatever — take whatever work you can find unless it's porn. Look, if you want to do porn, that's fine. Go do some porn, have fun. If that's the life you want to live, or if you need the money, whatever, it's your life. There's no judgment here. Maybe you enjoy acting in porn movies or just really love having sex. That's cool, do porn if doing porn is what you want to do.
16 Jay Z And Beyonce Lyrics That Will Make You Believe In Love
Beyonce and Jay Z have been through a whole lot. Before Blue Ivy Carter, that flawless angel that she is, there was a miscarriage. There are insanely busy schedules with which to contend. There is a ton of media scrutiny on the couple's every move, even accusations of Queen Bey faking her own pregnancy.
25 Fabulous Things You Didn't Know About 'Sex And The City'
Who doesn't love Sex and The City? We certainly do. To that end, we've amassed 25 things you didn't know about this fabulous show. Things you didn't even realize you needed to know! Because we're that good to you. From Sarah Jessica Parker's boobs to her pregnancy's affect on season five to the source of Candace Bushnell's genius, we've got every little fact and tidbit you need to become a well-rounded person. And we're totally not kidding here.
16 Things You Didn't Know About The Cast of 'New Girl'!
We kick off the return of all our favorite shows with New Girl. There is literally no better way to start the fall season than with Jess, Nick, Schmidt, Winston, CeCe and Coach (Actually, The Mindy Project airing right after New Girl really solidifies Tuesdays as the best TV day). Ah, it feels good to include Coach in that cast lineup. So where did we leave off? (Warning: Spoilers ahead!) Nick and Jess are broken up, which makes everything awkward for everyone. Seriously, they need to get back together.
10 Celebs Caught With Their Pants Down ... With Escorts
Prostitution is the world's oldest profession, but society still finds it pretty creepy. It doesn't matter how much you pay, a lot or a little, it's still pretty sleazy to pay for the company of a woman. Or a man. It's gross, but also super interesting to the rest of us, right? Right?
13 Of The Friendliest Celeb Exes Ever
Celebrity splits don't always have to be messy, icky or ugly affairs with lots of mudslinging or drama. Sure, the messier splits can lead to a whole lot of fun for media types like us or even for the rest of the world that might experience a tiny bit of delight in seeing a celeb and his or her significant other part ways in nasty fashion. But there are plenty of friendly celebrity exes, like Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel, the funny former duo that came together to honor the late, great Joan Rivers on his late night show.
12 New Fall Shows To Obsess Over
Autumn is here, which means it's time for Pumpkin Spice lattes, football, scarves, boots and the best thing in the world: cuddling up on the couch with a new TV pilot. We are constantly trying to find the next big show. Whether it is an action series like Game of Thrones, a drama like Breaking Bad or a comedy like How I Met Your Mother, we always need something to keep us busy on an afternoon where you literally want nothing to do with being outdoors. Pretty soon for us east coasters, we will be hibernating instead of going out to bars.

APB for almost four years now, details surrounding the game are slim. One important piece of non-existent info: What's the subscription plan going to look like? Registration fees that are too steep (or too shallow, for that matter) have been known to sink MMOs in the past. We already knew the game would have an "untraditional" payment model -- but we aren't much closer to knowing any specifics.
In a recent interview with VG247, Realtime's Dave Jones explained the game (which has cost $30 million to develop and provide server support for) will be a "traditional game that you buy," but that players won't need to "subscribe to play the game every month." He also claimed the subscription plan will be "unique" and "flexible," and will allow players to "get" why they're paying. Our guess? Realtime's going to set up a jar which players will be forced to drop nickels into whenever they curse.

NEW YORK (AFP) - Former Dutch national team goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus signed with the New York Red Bulls, the Major League Soccer club announced.
Waterreus helped PSV Eindhoven to Dutch titles in 1997, 2000, 2001 and 2003 during a 10-season career before stays at Manchester City of the English Premiership and Glasgow Rangers.
"We´ve added a goalkeeper with a lot of experience," Red Bulls coach Bruce Arena said. "We are hopeful he will assume a leadership role in the locker room which will be beneficial to us."
Waterreus, 36, joins countryman Dave van den Bergh, who obtained a deal with Kansas City earlier this month, on the Red Bulls roster.
"It has been one of my goals to play here in the United States," Waterreus said. "I spoke to Bruce Arena about being someone who has played at a high level in Europe and can use that experience to lead and help the younger players with the club. I am looking forward to that."
Waterreus earned seven caps for the Dutch, one of them a 2-0 blanking of the US squad. He made 11 saves in that friendly before the 2002 World Cup.

Is there a specific period of time or can they wait hours before court appearance?
Subpoena SC107 just indicate "you may request them before your appearance".
It does indicate a time frame before appearance.
Actually, the witness can demand payment of the witness fees at the same time the witness is being served with the civil subpoena.
In California state court cases, a witness subpoenaed to testify is entitled to witness fee of $35.00 plus mileage of 20 cents per mile, round trip from the witness's residence to the place of the hearing. The witness fee must be paid upon service of the subpoena if the witness requests it, or at the deposition/hearing.
In federal court cases, the fee for personal appearance is $40.00 per day, plus 55½ cents per mile, round trip from the witness's residence to the place of the hearing. The fee must be paid at the time of service.
Attorney Chen's answer is correct. You can call the attorney whose name appears on the subpoena and tell him or her how many miles you will be driving so that he or she can have a check in the correct amount waiting for you at the courthouse--or mailed to you right away, if there's time before the hearing.
Attorney Chen is correct, you have your answer.

There are so many different types to choose from Im not sure which one to go with, all off them have positive and negative reviews. So anyone that has one that they love or have heard good things about let me know please! Also would you recommend getting a walker also? I would love to hear what is your "activity" choice for baby and brand
any recommendations on which exersaucer to get?

Was it the big musical one or the neptune ocean one?
Last edited 05/08/2013
Walkers, exersaucers, etc. are actually not helpful for gross motor development, and can be harmful if they spend a lot of time in them. If you need a safe place to stick the baby while you do something where they'll be entertained and not able to get into things, I can understand that, but for learning to walk and learning things, you're better off getting a few interesting toys and spending some time on a blanket or mat on the floor.

The Neptune ocean one...a friend of mine had a jungle themed one that she really liked but I can't remember who makes it
Posted 05/09/2013
FYI we didn't use ours until SS was around 6 months old, and only got one because he couldn't sit up without assistance and would get really frustrated trying to. I also don't recommend buying them new because they don't stay in them long so it's not worth the money, by 8 months SS was crawling and would get upset if we put him in the exersaucer

Ok thank you for the info.. I didn't really see it being a necessity,, but a friend of mine recommended it for 20-30 min a day use to get laundrey, dishes etc done while the baby is safe and entertained. I might see if I can find one at ince upon a child
Posted 05/09/2013
We found a used one for $40 regular price was over $140. I cleaned the heck out of it and it looks brand new! It's a jungle theme with a thicker base. I'm not sure of the brand at the moment but my 4 month old niece was at our house and loved it! Can't wait to use it with our little guy. I agree with pp about buying used for something like this though. It won't be used long and they canbe pretty pricey.
