EUNICE, La. — Blinn College softball didn't get the sweep to conclude the regular season, but defeated Louisiana State University-Eunice, 9-7, to open Thursday afternoon's doubleheader.
LSU-Eunice took the second game, 8-6, with a comeback win to split the pair. With the split, Blinn finishes the regular season with a 30-16 overall record and 18-6 record in Region XIV play.
Blinn 9 – LSU-Eunice 7
Amy Alexander led Blinn's offense with four RBIs to help pave the way for the Buccaneers to open the doubleheader with a 9-7 win over LSU-Eunice.
Alexander drove in four runs with a grand slam, while Chelsea Armendariz drove in two runs. Calli Birch and Sydney Gutierrez contributed to the win by combining for seven hits and scoring two runs each in the victory, while Alivia Villarreal also scored two runs.
Meghan Morris recorded the win after pitching six innings and surrendering seven runs on 10 hits.
Blinn was on the board first in the opening inning after Birch scored on a sacrifice fly. In the second inning, Blinn added another run after Tori Alvarez-Lopez stole home. The Buccaneers continued to build their lead to 3-0 lead as Abby Olejniczak tripled for Gabriela Gomez to score in the fourth inning.
The Buccaneers added two more runs in the fifth inning as Armendariz hit a two-run single for Gutierrez and Villarreal to score.
After Birch, Gutierrez and Villarreal all singled to load the bases in the sixth inning, Alexander hit a grand slam to put Blinn on top 9-0.
LSU-Eunice put together an explosive inning in the bottom of the sixth inning with five runs and added two more in the seventh inning, but it wasn't enough as the Bengals fell, 9-7.
LSU-Eunice 8 – Blinn 6
Although the Buccaneers led the majority of the game, LSU-Eunice managed a five-run inning to comeback and defeat Blinn, 8-6, to close out the doubleheader with a split.
Georgina Gonzales knocked in two runs, while Armendariz and Alexander each drove in one to lead the Buccaneers on offense.
Blinn jumped out to a 3-0 lead after Olejniczak scored on a wild pitch in the first inning and Gonzales drove in two runs in the second inning with a single for Alvarez-Lopez and Courtney Ogle to score.
LSU-Eunice tightened Blinn's lead after scoring two runs in the bottom of the second inning, but Blinn pulled ahead 4-2 after Armendariz scored on an error in the third inning.
The Buccaneers secured a 6-2 lead when they added two more runs in the fourth inning. Olejniczak scored the first run of the inning on a groundout, while Alexander drove home Gutierrez with a double for Blinn's final run.
LSU-Eunice scored one run in the fifth inning to close in on Blinn, 6-3, before storming back with five runs in the sixth inning to defeat the Buccaneers, 8-6.
Blinn placed second in the Region XIV South standings and will open the Region XIV tournament against the No. 3 seed in the East division on Friday, May 4 at 10 a.m. in Port Arthur.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 36 NJCAA national championships since 1987.

How to Prevent Dengue Fever Symptoms, Information on Dengue Fever(Part-1)
                          Information on Dengue Fever
This prayer three time in the morning and evening Insha Allah you will be save from this deadly dangerous fever.
Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that in recent decades has become a major international public health concern. The incidence of the disease has grown dramatically around the world, so that nearly 2.5 billion people – two fifths of the world's population – are now at risk from this deadly virus. The World Health Organisation (WHO) currently estimates that there may be 50 million dengue infections worldwide every year.
The first case of dengue fever in Pakistan was reported in 1994 in Karachi. Now, nearly two decades later, the disease is rapidly assuming the proportions of an epidemic.
According to the WHO, there is no vaccine to protect the population against the strains of the dengue virus. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease, in either its mild or severe form, is challenging. With four closely related viruses that can cause the disease, the vaccine must immunise against all four types to be effective.
Common symptoms of dengue fever may include:
- Vomiting.
- Internal bleeding in from various part of body.
- Coffee ground vomiting.
- High fever.
Severe Symptoms of Dengue Fever:
- Cough is the sign of severe dengue phase indicator. Your doctor could recommend lung X-Ray Pi or Bi to demonstrate expansion of the lungs. Doctor starts Intravenous therapy with Normal Saline Drips of patients so that the water in body is balanced.
- The Patient's Health Maintenance Phase.
- Regular heartbeat starts and blood pressure is normal. If the patient get extra Intravenous Fluids then cough and swelling in hands and feet appears, Pulmonary Oedema or Congestive Heart Failure (the heart and lung function reduction) is a sign.
- So doctors recommend medication to control it, Throat wheezing, cough and difficulty in breathing are complicated symptoms of dengue fever. The proportion of white blood cells has become a normal level. Dengue virus infection or symptoms of dengue disease are divided in three stages.
****Early diagnosis of dengue is required to properly control these complications, which could save the lives of patients. An wave of dengue virus infection consists of three stages.
Early Symptoms of Dengue Fever:
- Â High fever with dehydration.
- Dehydration is the process in the body (dehydration) is introduced.
- Hemorrhagic Bleeding – Bleeding in mucus and from the nose, bleeding in women's vagina  started.

Here's a picture of our work fridge:
No, we didn't just clean it out; this is how it's looked all week. Amazing how little it's used when the company only employs a handful of people.
Gone are the niceties of early start-up life, the beer, the free soda, the fresh fruit and snacks. We don't even stock milk for coffee anymore. Note what's also missing: Forgotten lunches. Tupperware. Old birthday cake. Fast food leftovers.
That seltzer on the right? The boss's. Ditto the hard lemonade in the drawer. The Coke? The part-time facilities guy. I don't even know who owns the bruised fruit.
The champagne, however? That's mine. Relic of a more optimistic era - I was going to crack that when we won our first big contract.
Been sitting there for over a year.
Happy (?) Friday,

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 18, 2014) - The Mining Suppliers Association of British Columbia (MSABC) welcomes the return to a balanced budget and continued investments in exploration, environmental assessments and skills training in Budget 2014. "MSABC congratulates the provincial government on its prudent fiscal management and the return to a balanced budget with a plan to grow the surplus," said Ken Roberts, Chair of MSABC. Roberts added, "MSABC also welcomes the extension of the BC Mining Flow-Through Share Tax Credit which provides, along with recently extended federal measures, an important source of capital for mineral exploration in BC."
MSABC is encouraged by new investments in environmental assessments and training in Budget 2014. "With the projected growth of resource projects in BC, including mining and LNG, it will be important that government agencies have the appropriate capacity to process applications in a timely fashion," said Roberts. "MSABC welcomes the investment of $9 million to bring more certainty to timelines for environmental assessments, which will help improve BC's investment climate," continued Roberts. "MSABC also notes the Province's continued investment in trades, including the NorKam Trades Centre of Excellence in Kamloops, which will help ensure we have a trained workforce to capitalize on BC's exploration, mining and construction opportunities," added Roberts.
The Mining Suppliers Association of B.C. comprises suppliers, contractors and consultants to the B.C. mining industry who are committed to promoting the sustainability of this valuable resource sector.

I came across this very interesting interview with a former adware programmer. In his early days, Matt Knox designed and wrote adware for a company called Direct Revenue, which would later be sued for allegedly installing adware on millions of computers. The irony came from the fact that Knox was recruited while working on spam filtering software. Initially tasked with troubleshooting their ad distribution chain, he eventually graduated to direct work on the adware. When quizzed about the strategies used to maintain the persistency of the adware he worked on, Knox answered: "Most adware targets Internet Explorer (IE) users because obviously they're the biggest share of the market. In addition, they tend to be the less-savvy chunk of the market. If you're using IE, then either you don't care or you don't know about all the vulnerabilities that IE has."
Knox went on to elaborate on a common strategy - tapping IE's Browser Helper Object (BHO) for nefarious purposes.
So if you are ever looking for a reason not to use Internet Browser, this would be it: Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the preferred attack vector for adware - and presumably other forms of malware. Of course, Internet Explorer has made tremendous improvements over the years, with Internet Explorer 8 touted as one of the most secure yet.
However, one can also argue that Beta 2 of Internet Explorer 8 scores a dismal 21 percent on the grueling ACID3 browser compliance test, compared against the much higher scores from Mozilla's Firefox, Opera and Safari, to name a few.
Of course, a non-Microsoft browser is certainly no guarantee of immunity against malware of any form. However, given a chance to pre-emptively nip a swath of security problems with IE in the bud, would you take it? Or rather, can you afford not to?

If you were a Saint's fan you had a fun Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl 2010 was a good football game even if you were an Indy fan because it was a serious competition between two well-matched teams. I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler fan having been born and raised in the "Burgh", so I wasn't emotionally attached to either of the teams that played last Sunday. But… I did enjoy the game.
And like most of you, I looked forward to the Super Bowl commercials. As a marketing geek, the one that got my full attention was Google's "Parisian Love". Why? Google did more than just show viewers how to use Google, they demonstrated that anything from making an airline reservation to finding love in Paris can be done using the Internet.
More than that, consider that this gigantic, highly profitable company didn't use a movie star or fancy special effects, or even a voice over to narrate what was taking place. In the event you missed the commercial, take a look…
Every website owner in America would have loved it if Google had used their company in such a production, and few webservers would have been able to stand the strain (but that would be a good problem to have).
Unfortunately, Google didn't use any of the companies in the log home industry in that ad, but they did show how people search for – and find what they want online.
The other Super Bowl commercials were pitching products or services or branding companies, but this ad showed website owners how important it is to rank well in Google. THAT was a lesson for every business that has a website.
The Log Home Directory has more than 500+ pages and thousands of links to log home companies and related resources. If you are researching companies to build your dream home, you found the largest log home company index online.
If yours is a company that caters to the log home industry, you might want to review where you are spending your ad dollars. We get tens of thousands of visitors every month; if you'd like to talk about a better ROI on your advertising dollars, let's talk…. email me.

Police Jury to vote on map proposal April 7
*published Mar. 30, 2011
Calcasieu parish officials on Tuesday, presented a redistricting map filled with minor shifts in district lines.
"We focused on maintaining distinct communities, while still following federal laws,'' said Kade Cole, the attorney who oversaw the redistricting.
The parish population according to the 2010 census is 192,768.
Majority minority districts, mandated by the Voting Rights Act, were slightly shifted south into central Lake Charles.
Each district would have a black voter population over 60 percent.
The second largest change was residents moving southwest in the parish, causing changes in Districts 6 and 7, which stretch from the airport to Ward Line Road.
The largest overall population increase was District 8 in south Lake Charles, which is the Barbe school district.
The Gillis area was moved from District 1 with Moss Bluff to District 10 with LeBleu Settlement.
A northern section of Westlake, would be moved from District 3 to District 14, with the rest of the city.
Far west districts that include the Vinton and Starks area were unchanged.
For an April 30 election, which is a local option election on Mojito Point casino resort, the polling places will be listed on the Police Jury website.
The Police Jury voting on the map on April 7.
Officials then send the map to the Department of Justice for approval, which takes about 120 days to review.
Advocates: Child abuse requires more attention
One in four girls and one in six boys will suffer some type of abuse before they turn 18, according to the Family & Youth Counseling Agency's Children's Advocacy Center.
"I think a lot of people wonder, 'Why should I care?'" said agency director David Duplechian. Well, "if it's not your child, it may be your child's friends or a future son or daughter-in-law."
Duplechian shared the statistics on Friday during an area meeting of child advocates to discuss the many issues that lead to child abuse or neglect.
"There is more stress in families than ever before," Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach said, citing the economic recession.
"It's real easy to feel all warm and fuzzy; it's another thing to go out and help," Roach said.
Penny Haxthausen with the Calcasieu Parish School Board said parents and children must proactively address issues that children deal with such as pregnancy, eating disorders, child abuse, bullying and cyberbullying.
"We also find that many of these issues are related. One trauma such as a loss of a close relative may lead to anger because they have no one to talk to," Haxthausen said. "We need to be more aware of what our children are dealing with and take the time to talk with them."
Catherine Michaels, regional manager of the state department of child and family services, said Hurricanes Katrina and Rita provided the perfect storm in terms of stress for families.
"Our number of child abuse investigations have been going up since 2005," she said.
Duplechian encouraged attendees to be a friend to other parents by doing things like offering to babysit so those parents can go out together, relieving built-up stress. He also urged attendees to allow abuse awareness groups to speak at school, churches and civic groups to spread the message.
Roach encouraged attendees to take more action.
"Show me, don't tell me," he said.
As Lake Charles rose with the rail, Railroad Avenue became hub
The one-mile stretch of Railroad Avenue that ends at North Ryan Street is a quiet area with, for the most part, grass-filled lots and a few unassuming businesses.
During Lake Charles' first big population explosion in the 1880s, that area served as the business and residential hub of the town.
Lake Charles developed around the lumber and shipping industries, and when the Southern Pacific and Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf railroads were built in the 1890s, the rail became the main mode of transportation for goods and people.
In those eight blocks, there was a depot for passengers headed to all parts of the still expanding United States, cafes, grocery and drug stores, theaters and meat and fish markets, according to an Oct. 1981 article in Today's World magazine.
The businesses served locals whose neighborhoods fanned out from the strip and passengers passing through on trains.
The Central Food Market, owned by the Banano family, served as a business and home for the large family. Its large balcony was the best place to watch the circus unloading its equipment and animals.
"The train cars would be parked for blocks as kids and grown-ups watched the unloading," the article says.
There was also a baseball park just south Railroad Avenue, where Babe Ruth played during a 1921 exhibition game between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals.
In its heyday, the bustling business hub of Railroad Avenue had its seedy side, which attracted lumbermen and railroad workers in the area.
"Battle Row" was the nicer name for Lake Charles' red light district, which was just south of the Southern Pacific railroad depot and ran from Kirkman to Reid streets.
Throughout the 1880s and early 1900s, temperance groups lobbied politicians to ban the gambling parlors and saloons, according to a Nov. 1972 American Press article.
Resolutions to "abolish houses of ill repute" were repeatedly voted down. The rumor was that the women of the houses knew too much.
In 1903, the City Council raised the cost of liquor licenses from $200 to $1,000, but 25 licenses were issued in one day.
That year, police recorded 92 arrests in one month for disorderly conduct, fighting or drunkenness and 102 similar arrests the next month.
As long as there was a demand, there was a supply.
Around the late 1950s, the main thoroughfare shifted to Ryan Street downtown. The neighborhoods around Railroad Avenue that had been mixed for almost 100 years, saw heavy white flight. Among those leaving were businesses owned by many Italian-American families.
The ACTS (Artists Civic Theater and Studio) was refurbished in the 1980s and still performs live stage plays and the Amtrak station serves local passengers at Railroad Avenue and North Ryan Street.
No other commercial businesses, such as convenience stores or restaurants, are along the avenue.
Lawmaker suggests Lacassine location for halfway house
A state lawmaker is suggesting an alternate location for a federal halfway house that has been proposed for residential areas in Lake Charles.
Community Transitional Services of Louisville, Ky., which has a contract to build the facility, has faced opposition from residents and city officials in regards to two sites — one at Cline and Emerald streets near J.J. Johnson Elementary School and the other on the 1800 block of Broad Street near Reynaud Middle School.
State Rep. A. B. Franklin is suggesting the Lacassine location of the Academy of Life Skills. In 2006, Jeff Davis Parish officials were opposed to the academy's location, citing it's proximity to residences and Lacassine High School.
Lee Mallett with the Academy said he chose Lacassine because he wanted to keep it away from more-heavily populated areas.
"Studies show (the homes) don't hurt residents, but there is always an uproar," Mallett said.
Franklin said he made multiple inquiries to the federal government to suggest the Lacassine location and got no response. Mallett said he reached out to the contractor, offering to work with them.
"We have 20 acres, and we're accredited (by the Department of Corrections and American Correctional Association)," Mallett said.
Repeated calls to Community Transitional Services and the Bureau of Prisons requesting criteria for site selection were not returned.
Venezuelan man gets 19 years for cocaine smuggling
A Venezuelan man found guilty of smuggling cocaine was sentenced to 19 years and seven months in federal prison Thursday.
During trial, Carlos Hurtado-Valois, 31, claimed he didn't know what was in the bags he and Felipe Gonzales-Valencia, 47, of Colombia, were carrying when they jumped off a ship docked in Lake Charles.
Gonzales-Valencia pleaded guilty and testified to the contrary. Jurors found Hurtado-Valois guilty in about 30 minutes.
A 911 call on Jan. 16, 2010, led Calcasieu Parish sheriff's deputies to the two men, who were suffering from hypothermia on an island just west of Greywood golf course, officials said.
Deputies reportedly searched the island the next day and found life jackets, rope and eight duffel bags containing 176 kilograms of cocaine.
Sheriff Tony Mancuso estimated the street value of the drugs to be $6 million.
Federal agents took over the investigation and charged Hurtado-Valois and Gonzales-Valencia with conspiracy to import drugs; importation of drugs; possession with intent to distribute; and improperly entering the country.
Gonzales-Valencia was also charged with illegal re-entry.
FEMA flood maps: City to see little change
At a Tuesday night Lake Charles City Council agenda meeting, Federal Emergency Management Agency officials presented the new digital flood insurance rate maps for the city.
"You'll see very little change to the map for the city. And there are areas that have improved because of some drainage projects," said Michael Hunnicutt, deputy section chief for hazard mitigation.
Thanks to a proactive approach by the city to flood plain management, he said, there are few low-lying areas within the city limits.
FEMA set up a website — lamappingproject.com — for residents who want to see if their zoning status is changing. Resident can put in their addresses and see current and future zoning status.
The maps will take affect Feb. 18. Adoption or failure to do so affects federal funding and mortgage rates, said Hunnicutt.
Wayne Berggren, a federal insurance group supervisor, said a little more than 6,000 flood insurance policies are in affect in the city.
"The average amount of coverage in Calcasieu Parish is $202,000, and the average claim payment is $22,923," Berggren said.
Hunnicutt said FEMA started the project in 2003, with the goal to redo flood maps across the nation.
In Louisiana, officials needed to re-evaluate some storm surge data after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The City Council is scheduled to vote on whether to accept the maps at the Dec. 15 meeting.
Hunnicutt said Cameron Parish maps are now in the resolution period, in which a group of scientists review them, and that process should be completed within a year.
SEEKING UNITY: Realizing how we're same focus of service in park
*published Sept. 13, 2010
Christians, Muslims find common ground in their respective faiths
A small group of Lake Charles women brought together family and friends on Sunday to share a lesson they learned over coffee: We're more alike than we are different.
The women, who have been meeting for coffee for about three years, decided two weeks ago to hold a Common Ground Celebration.
"It came together pretty fast," said Pat Kelty, a member of the group.
"We were seeing a lot of negativity around, and we wanted to focus on the positive and do whatever we can," said Aneeta Afzal.
Kelty said with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, they felt it was important to focus on diversity.
During the ceremony, Christian and Islamic leaders spoke about working together and interacting with each other.
"We approached them, and they were all so enthusiastic about the whole thing. It's amazing, really," Afzal said.
Students from Episcopal Day School read quotes from various religions that share the common theme of treating others as you want to be treated. "We see the negative played out so often when there is a lot of good and unity and cooperation, and we wanted to give that a voice," said the Rev. Roger Templeton with St. Luke-Simpson United Methodist Church before the service.
Imam Ahmed El-Mamlouk of the Islamic Society of Lake Charles called the ceremony a very good step to create a bridge between all faiths.
He said the Islamic Center is open to all people of all faiths or anyone who would like information on Islam.
"I believe today we can start the right thing the right way and spread a bridge between other faiths," El-Mamlouk said.
The Rev. Karl Klaus, also with St. Luke-Simpson, spoke on following Jesus' teaching of loving your neighbor.
"I would hope that all Christians would rediscover these true Christian values," Klaus said.

Let $G$ be a cscsc¹ Lie group, and let $\widetilde{LG}$ be the universal central extension (center = $S^1$) of $LG:=Map_{C^\infty}(S^1,G)$, with the topology inherited from the $C^\infty$ topology on $LG$.
Let $\mathfrak g$ be the complexified Lie algebra of $G$, and let $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}$ be the universal central extension of $L\mathfrak g:=\mathfrak g[t,t^{-1}]$ (center = $\mathbb R$).
There is a (non-faithful) action of $\mathbb R$ on $\widetilde{LG}$ given by reparametrizing the loop, and there is an induced action of $\mathbb R$ by derivations of $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}$. We denote the respective semidirect products $\widetilde{LG}^e$ and $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}^e$. We also write $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}^e=\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}\oplus \mathbb C L_0$.
Definition: A positive energy representation of $\widetilde{LG}$ on a Hilbert space $H$ is a continuous homomorphism $\widetilde{LG}\to U(H)$ for which there exists an extension $\widetilde{LG}^e\to U(H)$ such that the spectrum of $L_0$ is bounded from below. Here, $U(H)$ is equipped with the strong operator topology.
If the action of $L_0$ on $H$ has only point spectrum, then the algebraic direct sum of its eigenspaces is called the space of finite energy vectors, and denoted $H_0$.
The following is something that I know how to prove.² I would however prefer to find a reference in the literature. Is this written anywhere? Alternatively, does someone have an easy proof of this fact?
Let $H$ be a positive energy representation of $\widetilde{LG}$, and let us assume that $L_0$ can be chosen so that it only has point spectrum ($\Rightarrow H_0$ is dense in $H$), then there is an induced Lie algebra action of $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}$ on $H_0$.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the action of $\widetilde{LG}$ is only assumed to be continuous, and the it is therefore difficult to know that differentiation makes sense.
¹: "cscsc" = compact, simple, connected, simply connected
²: to be precise, I only know how to prove it if $G$ ≠ $SU(2)$.
Since I said that I know how to prove the above claim, let me include a proof. This will also make it clear why the case $G=SU(2)$ is special.
Proof: Let $\tilde T$ be the maximal torus of $\widetilde{LG}$, let $T^e:=\mathbb R\times \tilde T\subset \widetilde{LG}^e$, and let $\Lambda=Hom(T^e,S^1)$ be its character group. Every positive energy representation $H$ of $\widetilde{LG}$ decomposes as a direct sum of weight spaces $$ H=\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda} H_\lambda. $$ Let $P\subset \Lambda$ be the set of $\lambda$ for which $H_\lambda\not =0$.
Let $\widetilde W= NT^e/T^e$ be the affine Weyl group. This group acts on $\Lambda$, and preserves $P$. By the positive energy condition, we know that $P$ is contained in a "half-space" of $\Lambda$, and combining this with $\widetilde W$-invariance, we learn that $P$ is contained inside a paraboloid.
Let $D$ be the affine Dynkin diagram associated to $G$. Every node $a\in D$ corresponds to an embedding $SU(2)\hookrightarrow \widetilde{LG}^e$ whose image we shall denote $SU(2)_a$. Let $T_a\subset T^e$ be the centralizer of $SU(2)_a$, and let $\Lambda_a$ be the corresponding quotient of $\Lambda$, with projection map $p_a:\Lambda\to \Lambda_a$.
Since $P$ is contained in a paraboloid, we know that for each $\sigma\in \Lambda_a$, the set $\Lambda(\sigma):=\{\lambda\in P\,|\,p_a(\lambda)=\sigma\}$ is finite. It follows that for every $\sigma$, the representation of $SU(2)_a$ on $\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda(\sigma)} H_\lambda$ contains only finitely many isomorphism classes of $SU(2)_a$-irreps. In particular, the action of $\mathfrak{su}(2)_a$ on $\bigoplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda(\sigma)} H_\lambda$ is by bounded operators (i.e., everywhere defined). This way, one obtains Lie algebra actions of $\mathfrak{su}(2)_a$ on the space of finite energy vectors of $H$.
Those Lie algebras contain all the generators $\{E_a, F_a, H_a\}$ of the Serre presentation of $\widetilde{L\mathfrak g}^e$. We still need to check the Serre relations.
We now consider rank two subgroups of $\widetilde{LG}^e$ corresponding to pairs of vertices of $D$. To every such pair of vertices corresponds a compact subgroup $G_{ab}$ of $\widetilde{LG}^e$ (this is where we use that $G$ is not $SU(2)$). Applying the same sort of argument as above, we see that there is an action of its Lie algebra $\mathfrak g_{ab}$ on the space of finite energy vectors.
Every Serre relation is detected in one of the Lie algebras $\mathfrak g_{ab}$, so the generators $\{E_a, F_a, H_a\}$ satisfy the Serre relations. $\square$

Judge in RealNetworks Case Seals Court
The decision came as a result of a motion by the DVD Copy Control Association, who argued that public testimony of aspects of the CSS copy-control technology would violate trade secrets.
The two sides presented opening arguments Friday morning, over the legality of a restraining order barring RealNetworks from selling RealDVD, a program to allow users to rip and manage DVD movies copied to a hard drive. Several Hollywood studios including Warner Bros. and Disney claimed that the RealDVD technology facilitated piracy and violated the terms of the CCA's contract. Real, for its part, maintained that it respected copyright and provided additional security through enhanced encryption.
The issue of public scrutiny of the CSS technology came to a head during the testimony of John Kelly, president of the Kelly Technology Group. Kelly was asked to dissect the CSS contract and determine if RealNetworks violated it. Kelly said they did.
"The RealDVD products do not comply with the CSS specifications because they intercept and copy the contents of the DVD for the purpose of playing it back without the presence of the DVD disc," Kelly said. Because of that, the RealDVD software does not comply with the CSS licensing agreement, he said.
DVD CCA attorneys originally tried to seal off all of Kelly's testimony, although Judge Patel argued that Kelly's basic conclusions should be made public. Leo Cunnigham, a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati representing Real, said Friday morning that his client would have "a non-spirited opposition" to the motion.
After Kelly's early testimony, however, an attorney for the DVD CCA argued that he could not proceed further without delving into the organization's trade secrets. Patel agreed and sealed the court, ordering all those not bound to an NDA agreement to leave.
The public calendar allowed time for media organizations to file a pre-emptive challenge to the closing of the court, Judge Patel said. But observers noted that the similar 2007 Kaleidescape case was conducted in open court, save for a few sealed exhibits.

Tax Increment Finance Authority
As a means to enhance economic growth in local communities, the Michigan State Legislature enacted the Tax Increment Financing Act, Public 450 of 1980, as amended. This act enables a municipality to establish a Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) consisting of seven local residents appointed by the City Council to undertake public projects aimed at promoting economic development within the TIFA district. For a map of the TIFA district, click here.
TIFA Documents (Plans and Amendments)
Below are links to the TIFA Plan and TIFA Plan Amendments along with the Resolution extending TIFA.
1984 TIFA Plan
1992 TIFA Plan Amendment
1999 Resolution
2004 TIFA Plan Amendment
The TIFA is responsible for preparing a development and financing plan and implementing the objectives of the plan, which may include but are not limited to sidewalk repair or replacement, street lighting, street improvements, land and building acquisition, property leasing, parking and landscape improvements, and building signage.
Funds Generation
The funds appropriated to the Tax Increment Finance Authority are generated through tax increment financing, a public funding method in which the growth in taxable value on property located within the TIFA district is captured and tax revenues from the captured value are used to make improvements within the district. The TIFA Act allows the City of Richmond to capture the annual growth in taxable value measured from the baseline taxable value in 1984, the year the city's TIFA was established.
TIFA funds may be used to assist business owners within its district with improvements and development projects. For instance, TIFA may support a proprietor through assistance with utilities such as water mains and sewer line installation. In some instances, TIFA may purchase land and in turn negotiate with a prospective business owner for the resale of the property.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Stewart Bates and the team at Castle & Cooke Mortgage since 2012. My company handles over 85 million dollars of production in real estate sales which requires me to work with the very best in my industry. Stewart is not only my single preferred loan officer of choice but also my personal loan officer.

In addition, I've greatly appreciated Stewart's driven desire to always exceed clients' expectations. I strongly recommend Stewart Bates as world-class loan officer capable of handling all of your lending needs"
"Dave Hosterman and his team at Castle & Cooke are the best mortgage brokers I have ever worked with in 20+ years of real estate. They consistently exceed my expectations with the quality of their service. They have also helped me grow my business by working closely with buyers who aren't quite ready. By staying in touch with these buyers while they got their credit repaired, Dave and his team have resurrected buyers I thought were gone. Dave is my 1st call for lending!"
"Castle & Cooke Mortgage in Blair is simply the best mortgage loan provider in our local area. Pre-qualification letters daytime, evening and weekends. Quick closing times. They keep my agents and their buyers informed every step of the mortgage approval process. They ALWAYS put the client first. Our clients rave about Castle & Cooke Mortgage in Blair."
"My experiences working with Castle & Cooke Mortgage have been extremely positive. The first client I referred to them had been working with another lender and was left without a call back for almost a week during the time he was trying to make an offer on a home. He contacted Castle & Cooke, was pre-qualified for a loan within hours and put an offer on a home two days later. Dave and Jonathan responded immediately to every question my client and I had during the process. I continue to recommend Castle & Cooke Mortgage."

Andersen Windows – Staten Island New York
Andersen Windows Combine Natural Beauty & Energy Efficiency
The Men With Tools only work with top brands like Andersen Windows for a vital reason: we believe that quality is the most important promise we can make to you. After all, we're working on your home or business. You'll never make a bigger investment of time, money and emotion than you will in that home or business. It means the world to you – and therefore, it means the world to us, too. We have homes! We have families! We know how important this is to you.
So when you work with us, expect only top quality products like Andersen windows. We just couldn't imagine doing things another way.
As you're about to see, we take the quality of the products we deal with and our installations very seriously. From the manufacturers we deal with (like Andersen) to the people we hire to the way we work with our valued customers, you'll find that the Men With Tools do things differently than other window contractors – and we think in the end, you'll like those differences. Here are just a few reasons why:
Andersen Quality, Every Day
When it comes to windows, few names are as well known and respected as Andersen Windows. Founded in 1903, they have been part of almost every advancement the industry has seen. They've helped pioneer more energy efficient windows, have developed composite materials that allow your windows to better withstand the elements and last years longer, have helped develop new designs that have expanded options for property owners, and much more.
Reasons like this are exactly why the Men With Tools works with these leading brands over others. Because a quality job starts with quality people and quality materials. We'll supply the people. Award-winning manufacturers like Anderson Windows provide the materials. And in the end, the real winners are people like you.
- Top manufacturer since 1903
- Windows in every style and configuration
- Long-lasting materials
- Wood windows available
400 Series Wood Windows
Andersen's 400 Series of wood windows have been around for over 100 years for a reason: proven, time-tested quality never goes out of style or become undesirable. The designers and engineers at Andersen have spent decades refining their craft in order to offer windows that blend performance and style in one fantastic package.
Working with the window specialists at the Men With Tools, we can help you choose from double-hung, casement windows, awning, gliding, or picture windows, and many other wood styles available in the Andersen 400 Series. Sturdy, long-lasting, and showcasing the timeless elegance of Andersen's designs, you'll be thrilled at how these windows transform your home.
- Time-tested line of windows
- Available in all styles
- Decades of design & refinement
- Modern energy efficiency
Energy Efficient Wood Windows
Energy efficiency is important to Andersen, and it's important to the Men With Tools, too. Andersen was the first ever window manufacturer to be named an Energy Star® Partner of the Year, an honor they've earned several times over thanks to their innovative new window designs and advancements in window technology.
What does this mean for you? It means having a home that is more comfortable to live in. A home free of drafts and cold spots. A home that feels like a home. And perhaps just as importantly (if not more importantly), it means saving money on your energy bills.
- Energy Star® Partner of the Year
- Saves money on your energy bills
- Keeps your home warmer in the winter
- Helps your A/C be more efficient in summer
Industry Leading Innovation
Since 1903, Andersen has been a leader in the field. They are the oldest window manufacturer, and they are still one of the most well-respected because they have never stopped innovating. They create products that keep performing year after year – which is exactly why they are able to provide such strong warranties. Anderson Windows have also made tremendous strides in energy efficiency and in durability.
Andersen has made great improvements in making every aspect of their manufacturing process more efficient, too. They use sustainable practices, utilize reclaimed wood in their composite windows (with the wood being reclaimed right from their own manufacturing processes), and they partner with great community organizations like Habitat for Humanity. All of this has made them industry leaders for over a century – and that's exactly why we work with them. Because at the Men With Tools, we expect the same thing you do: the best.
- Strongest warranties in the business
- Pioneering sustainable practices
- Cutting-edge window innovations
- Long record of charitable work
Every Style And Design
Because Andersen are the industry leaders in window technology, it should come as no surprise that they offer windows of virtually every type, style, and design you can imagine. Whether you're interested in their composite windows or their classic 400 Series of wood windows, we carry the kind of Andersen windows you want for your home.
Double-hung windows. Awning windows. Casement windows. Picture windows. Gliding patio doors. Hinged patio doors. Bay windows. Bow windows. Even specialty windows. If you can imagine it on your home, we can turn what you imagine into a reality with Anderson windows.
- Windows to match any home
- Materials to suit your every need
- Energy Efficiency improvements with every installation
- Specialty windows available
Trustworthy Installers, Quality Installations
At the Men With Tools, we recognize that trust is an important commodity. It's also one that can be difficult to come by in the world of home improvements. Too many contractors come and go; too many are in it for a quick buck. It boils our blood as much as it does yours, which is why we created a system to address those concerns.
First is our materials. By only working with top manufacturers like Andersen Windows, you know you're getting a great product. Next comes the people. All our installers undergo background checks and drug tests, and we only hire the best craftsmen in the region. Then there is attention to detail. All measurements and estimates are checked by our owner to ensure accuracy. And finally, you get the peace of mind that comes with top manufacturer's warranties and our One 'n' Done Guarantee.
- Comprehensive background checks on installers
- Industry-leading warranties
- Top quality materials from the best manufacturers
Andersen Windows Will Make Your Home Look Amazing!
When you get right down to it, isn't the ultimate reason for replacing your windows or getting windows installed in your new construction to have the beautiful home you've always desired?

- New, modern look for your home
- Long-lasting colors
- Improve your quality of life

No Hard Sells Or Sales Gimmicks!
You'll notice something when you work with the Men With Tools: we don't hit you with hard sells, aggressive tactics, or sales gimmicks. All we do is let you know what we do, how we do it, the materials we sell, and the cost. Simple. Up front. To the point. And that's it.
We operate that way for a reason, and that reason is simple. We don't need hard sells or sales gimmicks! We prefer an honest, courteous relationship with our customers. If a contractor has to engage in trickery to get you on board, that should be a red flag. We certainly think it is, and that's why we endeavor to steer clear of those tactics. We think you'll find that approach refreshing.
- No hard sells
- No sales gimmicks
- Quick, honest estimates
- Communicate right with the owner!

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide by far. For this reason, looking after our vascular health is absolutely central to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The cardiovascular system is the whole blood circulatory network comprising our blood, heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. This vital system is responsible for supplying our cells with nutrients and oxygen, and removing waste products including carbon dioxide.
The cardiovascular system is one of the most sensitive biological systems in our bodies to poor diet, toxins and lack of exercise, which is why cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, by far, worldwide. If we make our lifestyle choices cardiovascular-friendly, we are likely to benefit in practically all other areas of our health and well-being.
Central to cardiovascular health is a healthy diet low in fast-release sugars, and plenty of regular exercise. And of course no smoking!
AlphaCurcumin® Plus is a highly bioavailable curcumin phytosome complex with added Bromelain, Quercetin and Bioperine for comprehensive cellular support.
Turmeric is ground from the root of the Curcuma longa L. plant (see picture below), a member of the ginger family which grows wild in the Himalayas and across South Asia. This yellow/orange spice plays a central role in ethnic cuisine in those areas, giving the traditional dishes of these regions their characteristic yellow colour. This spice has been a component of Ayurvedic medicinal systems of India, China, Tibet and the Middle East for over 2000 years.
Curcumin is the primary curcuminoid class found in turmeric. Only 2 to 5% of the turmeric contains curcumin which is the component, concentrated in the rhizome. It is the curcumin that is responsible for most of turmeric's health properties. Curcumin extracted from turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and overall it is regarded as one of nature's best protector nutrients and body cleansers, and is the subject of a great deal of scientific interest and research.
The big problem with the beneficial compounds in curcumin is that they have very poor oral absorption. As a consequence, impractically large amounts are needed to derive the full benefits of curcumin. A solution to this problem has been found by finely mixing the curcumin with lipids, as curcumin is fat-soluble, and this vastly increases absorption by basically having the lipids carry the curcumin into the body.
By finely mixing the curcumin either with curcuminoid oils or with a phospholipid medium to produce curcumin liposomes, the curcumin is surrounded by fats. This increases the absorption substantially, but the resulting mixture is not ideally stable and requires a large ratio of oil molecules to curcumin molecules to make it effective.
A newly developed superior method to this lipid approach is to use a proprietary process to directly bond the curcumin molecules with phospholipid molecules in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio. This produces a stable curcumin-phospholipid complex called a curcumin phytosome complex (curcumin-phosphatidylcholine complex), which is more effective and efficient than curcumin liposome complexes. The curcumin processed in this way has an absorption rate many times greater than that of ordinary curcumin complexes found in most food supplements, and this unleashes the full healing power of curcumin complex.
The Really Healthy Company's AlphaCurcumin® Plus brings 250mg of this highly bioavailable curcumin phytosome complex (sunflower derived phospholipids) together with 75mg of Bromelain, 50mg of Quercetin and 5mg of Bioperine (black pepper extract) in each vegetarian capsule, further enhancing the curcumin's already magnified beneficial effects. The result is one of the most potent curcumin supplements on the market today.
AlphaCurcumin also contains no added binders, fillers or any other excipients — just the full power of undiluted, leading-edge, natural ingredients.
Ingredients: Cucumin phytosome complex, Vegetable Cellulose (capsule), AlphaBlend, Bromelain and Quercetin.
Directions: Take 2 to 4 capsules a day, preferably at mealtimes, or as directed by your health practitioner.

AlphaGuard® Plus antioxidant complex is superior to most other full-spectrum antioxidant food supplements on the market.
Burning calories is a natural process of oxidation that releases energy in our bodies. However, oxidation can be destructive when it is excessive and uncontrolled, which can happen with stress (physical and mental), poor diet, toxins and environmental pollutants, too much sun, radiation and illness. When this happens, our cells can become damaged by reactive molecules called free radicals and our energy and vitality deteriorates. Long-term, this can lead to premature ageing and degenerative conditions.
Whilst the body produces some of its own antioxidants, the rest must be obtained through the diet, primarily from fruits and vegetables (especially their skins and pips). However, we live in a world where oxidative stress on our bodies is increasing due to rising pollution and stress loads, whilst dietary levels of antioxidants are decreasing, due to poor diets and the fact that our food is often grown in nutrient-depleted soils. The result can be compromised health.
AlphaGuard® Plus is one of the very best all-in-one antioxidant supplements on the market today, combining many of the most effective antioxidant nutrients and complexes, including Vitamin C, Grape Seed Extract, Curcumin Extract, Quercetin, Bilberry Extract, Vitamin E, Alpha lipoic acid, Green tea extract, N-Acetyl cysteine, Zinc, Leutein, Beta-carotene, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin and Selenium. The reason we put such a potent variety of antioxidants into our supplement is that antioxidants work synergistically in the body — their combined benefit far exceeding the benefit we would obtain from taking them separately. And not only that, many of them have their own unique and essential function, so they must all be present for optimum well-being.
This makes AlphaGuard® Plus the ideal food supplement for helping to prevent excessive oxidation in the body.
Directions: Take one or two capsules a day with a meal, or as advised by your healthcare practitioner.

Natto NKCP contains an enzyme extracted from a Japanese delicacy called natto — fermented soybeans — renowned for over 2000 years for its nutrients.
Please note that this product is temporarily unavailable as the manufacturer is slightly tweaking the formula. We will restock it as soon as the new product becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
The reason natto itself isn't more popular is fourfold: it has an unpleasant smell and taste; it contains high amounts of vitamin K2, which can interfere with medicines such as Warfarin; the nutrients (enzyme active components) can vary greatly between different natto brands; and it is difficult for Westerners to find.
The Japanese developers of natto NKCP have solved these problems by culturing the natto bacilli (good bacteria) that form during the fermentation process of natto and then extracting only the active enzymes — the nattokinase — before removing the Vitamin K2. The final product is presented in an easy-to-take odourless tablet, so that everyone can now enjoy the benefits of natto. And unlike competing nattokinase brands, the manufacturers of natto NKCP extract the nattokinase during the end of the fermentation cycle, making this brand the most effective and highest quality nattokinase supplement available. And what is more, Natto NKCP can be taken safely and effectively long-term.
Directions: For normal health maintenance, the recommended intake is 1 - 2 tablets (250mg in total) per day with water after the evening meal, or as directed by your health practitioner. (Tablets are small and easy to swallow.)
Ingredients: Proprietary extract of Natto Bacilli Culture (125mg), Microcrystalline Cellulose (bulking agent), Resistaqnt Dextrin (bulking agent), Sucrose Esters of Fatty Acids (emulsifier), Silicone Dioxide (anticaking agent), Shellac (coating). Contains no Vitamin K2.
Please note that if you are on blood thinners, you should still consult your doctor before taking supplements such as NKCP.

CardioVen from Premier Research Labs is a specific nutraceutical formula that targets premier cardiovascular health.
Please note: this is a professional-formula food supplement generally used by healthcare practitioners.
CardioVen™ promotes cardiovascular health by featuring premier quality coenzyme Q-10 (50 mg/cap), which is derived from a natural fermentation process (not synthetic CoQ-10). This form of CoQ10 is fat-soluble and is identical to the CoQ10 that is naturally produced by our cells. Live-source "trans" isomer CoQ10, such as this one, is preferred to synthetic "cis" isomer CoQ10 in long term use.
CoQ10 is an essential nutrient vital for cellular energy production as it is an important part of the mitochondrial electron transport system that powers our cells. This nutrient especially supports the heart muscle and other bodily tissues that have high energy needs, which is why CardioVen is recommended for supporting heart health.
CardioVen also features two key nutraceutical blends: Cardio PhytoEssence and Cardio Pro Essentials. These offer a broad range of harmonised botanical agents with complex phytochemical profiles for additional nutritional support.
CardioVen is often used concurrently with HCL.

Premier DHA by Premier Research Labs is a plant-source Omega-3 DHA fatty acid food supplement derived from algal oil that supports brain, nerves, eyes and heart function. This is a healthy vegan alternative to fish oils.
Omega-3 fatty acids are defined as essential fats, which means that the body cannot make them from scratch, and so they must be supplied by the diet. The most important form of these Omega-3 fatty acids is DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), which is a long-chain type of Omega-3 fatty acid essential for the healthy functioning of the brain, nervous system, cardiovascular system and, in children, eye tissue development.
DHA, unfortunately, can only be adequately sourced from fish and shellfish, but our bodies can make it by converting the omega-3 Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in plant sources such as flaxseed oil and other cold-pressed vegetable oils, nuts (especially walnuts) and green leafy vegetables. However, our bodies are very inefficient at converting ALA into DHA (usually <5%), which is why vegetarians and vegans, or anyone who does not have adequate quantities of fish or shellfish in their diet, can struggle to maintain optimum levels of DHA. (Many also choose to limit their fish and shellfish intake due to the increasing toxicity of our seas, lakes and oceans.)
Premier DHA is a high quality, non-GMO Docosahexaenoic Acid sourced from algae, making it a vegan-friendly and clean DHA source — the healthy alternative to fish oils!

What's a computer without a cool front panel? Thermaltake's Hardcano is more than just a cool LED light. It allows you to control up to four fans and also keep track of four sensors. How well does it work? Read on…
Keeping a good watch over temperatures is a major concern for today's computer users, even more so for those users still using the air cooling method. Components run at high speed and are pushing more power than ever before. These increases in speed and performance are great but they result in the computer's number one enemy… HEAT! Today we are looking at the Hardcano 13 from Thermaltake. The Hardcano allows the user to monitor up to 4 component temperatures and control 4 fans to help keep those temps down.
The first thing I noticed about the Hardcano 13 was the construction of the chassis; it is very sturdy. I have seen products similar to this one in the past and they were rather flimsy and no where near as strong as the Hardcano. This product is definitely manufactured to last. Included in the box are the power cables, fan connectors, thermal probes and thermal tape, everything needed to take complete control over your computers internal temperatures.
Thermaltake's Hardcano 13 offers the same basic features that the Hardcano 12 did. Such as four temperature sensors, four fan controllers and an audible/visual alarm function. The Hardcano 13 also has an extra aesthetic function, a very bright backlit LED display with eight different color options to chose from, which allows the user to customize the Hardcano to their system without dropping extra cash on face plates or painting.
Tharmaltake has also provided the user with some additional functionality by incorporating a 6-in-1 card memory card reader into the unit. This product can read your CF, SM, MMC, SD, MS, MS PRO, and Microdrive memory cards. The addition of the card reader and backlit display to the already proven design of the fan controllers and temperature sensors makes this product sound great but let's see what it is like to install and use.

Time Management author Chris Croft describes option four of the five ways to get more done: having better systems. Repeating tasks need a system. This could be computerisation but not necessarily, it might be something simple. Chris describes his travel bag and gives other examples of areas where better systems could help.
- The fourth way to get more done…by spending less time on unimportant things…is to have better systems.…I don't mean computer systems necessarily,…just the way you work,…and the way that people around you work.…I bet you waste an hour a week…looking for stuff, or doing things twice.…Putting right mistakes and doing…trivial annoying things which keep…repeating every week, and which are…basically a waste of you.…Anything that repeats is a waste of you.…
Anything that repeats is a sign that…you need a system for it, or a better system for it.…I'll give you a quick example.…I used to pack for a few days away…doing training courses around the country,…and I would go around the house…rounding up my iPhone charger…and a fleece in case it was cold,…and my toothbrush from upstairs,…and all the other things I might need,…but I quite often forgot something,…so I decided to make a checklist of what to pack.…Is that sensible or sad?…I did laminate it, but apart from that,…I think it's pretty sensible.…
Then I noticed that I was repeating…
The first—saying no—is simple in theory, but hard in practice. Chris explains how to reclaim the power of "no" to make room for true priority items. The second step, negotiation, allows you to spend less time on unimportant tasks. The third way is to delegate sometimes, and the fourth is improving systems and processes so that repetitive tasks are quickly and easily managed. Last but not least, Chris explains how to overcome perfectionism and nitpicking. He explains how to apply the five methods to all time-stealers, including meetings, interruptions, and more.
In the initial chapters, he'll help you clarify your life and work goals, prioritize to-dos using Eisenhower's matrix of tasks, and answers questions like "Does working longer hours actually get more done?" The worksheets included with the exercise files will help you apply the lessons to your own work and life, and hone your time management skills—one step at a time.
- Discover why you need to make the most of every day.
- Assess how to separate important from urgent items.
- Define Eisenhower's matrix of tasks.
- Determine how to find more time for important things.
- Discover how to say no.
- Prepare to negotiate tasks.
- Develop your delegation skills to save time.
- Improve your systems.

This pool was a lake found in the Forest of Dean. It was rather small and during the winter it had a thin, cracked layer of ice over it. During the winter of 1997-1998, Severus Snape hid the Sword of Gryffindor in this lake for Harry Potter to find.[1]
Ron Weasley rescued Harry Potter from this pool when the Horcrux around his neck began to strangle him and he was unable to get to the surface, thus beginning to drown.[1]

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Barrick Gold said Monday it would offer $9.2 billion to acquire Placer Dome, a merger that would make the combined company one of the largest global players in the gold-mining industry.
If the hostile bid goes through, Barrick Gold would then sell some Placer Dome mines and exploration joint ventures to Goldcorp for about $1.35 billion.
The deal would also rearrange the list of top gold producers in a sector that has seen several recent deals as prices for the precious metal have steadily risen.
December gold closed at $466.90 an ounce in New York, down $7.90 for the session and down $5.40, or 1.1%, from the month-ago close of $472.30. See full story.
Placer Dome said its board will meet to consider the unsolicited takeover bid and that until it receives the offer and completes its review, it will not comment.
Barrick ABX, +1.97% (ABX) said it'll pay up to $1.2 billion in cash and issue up to 303 million shares for Placer Dome PDG, -0.68% (PDG), though the deal could be all cash. That would value the U.S.-traded shares of Placer Dome, at $20.50, a premium of about 24% over its Friday closing price.
On the New York Stock Exchange, Placer Dome's shares ended trading up 21% at $19.95, while Barrick Gold lost 7% to close at $25.25. Goldman Sachs analysts upgraded shares of Placer Dome from in-line to neutral.
Barrick Gold said the combined company would have a solid foundation of operating assets and financial resources, as well a robust pipeline of development projects.
Moreover, a merged company would have 149.8 million ounces in proven and probably gold reserves, Barrick Gold said.
Last Thursday, Barrick said would meet its original 2005 forecast for producing between 5.4 million and 5.5 million ounces of gold.
Barrick Gold said it will formally request a list of Placer Dome's shareholders later Monday and expects to mail out bid documents as soon as possible following receipt of the list.
The offer will be open for acceptance for 35 days following the date of the mailing, Barrick Gold said.
Barrick Gold agreed to a side deal with Goldcorp GG, +0.00% valued at $1.35 billion in cash, whereby Goldcorp would acquire Placer Dome assets that are primarily in Ontario. Goldcorp shares finished the day up 3% to $19.96.
Richard Sacks, of Brick Capital Partners, said the deal for Placer Dome, though hostile, likely would succeed. "The sale of the certain assets including the Campbell mine to GoldCorp is intelligent for both Barrick and GoldCorp as well," according to Sacks.
Barrick Gold said in all, it sees $240 million in synergies per year, and is expecting an increase in net asset value, earnings and cash flow if the deals go through.
Barrick Gold will continue to be based in Toronto pending completion of a Placer Dome deal.
Other top gold-mining producers globally are Newmont Mining NEM, +0.68%, AngloGold Ashanti AU, +2.83%, Gold Fields Ltd. GFI, +2.10% and Anglo American AAUK (AAL).
Earlier this month, a pair of Canadian miners of industrial metals agreed to a friendly takeover under which Inco Ltd. N, -2.99% (N) will acquire Falconbridge Ltd. FAL for the equivalent of about $10.2 billion. See full story.

LSU coach Orgeron: Fournette trying to practice this week
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) LSU coach Ed Orgeron says running back Leonard Fournette has asked to practice this week in preparation for the 25th-ranked Tigers' game against No. 23 Ole Miss on Saturday night.
Orgeron is not committing to playing Fournette against the Rebels, wanting to see how practice goes as the junior running back tries to return from a nagging left ankle injury he aggravated at Auburn on Sept. 24.
Orgeron says the injury took a toll physically and mentally on Fournette, who ''wanted to be out there helping the team with this new start,'' after LSU fired coach Les Miles and installed Orgeron as interim coach.
LSU has won both of its games in the three weeks Fournette has sat out.
Fournette has 386 yards and two touchdowns rushing in three games this season.

Britney Spears Says She Doesn't Get Enough Credit For Singing Live
Britney Spears snapped! The pop icon was asked how much of her live show is… well, live and she let the reporter have it. "I'm glad you're addressing this question because it's really funny," the 35-year-old said in an interview that was broadcast on Israeli TV. "A lot of people think that I don't sing live… because I'm dancing so much I do have a little bit of playback, but there's a mixture of my voice and the playback. It really pisses me off because I am busting my ass out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it."
No comment. I will say, however, that I'm really enjoying Britney's new approach to promo. Even when the hitmaker puts her foot in her mouth (like offending the nation of Singapore), she seems so much less guarded. It's really nice to see her personality shine through. The "Slumber Party" diva is currently winding up a tour of Asia and the Middle East. Her Israeli visit has been particularly notable with their national elections being moved to avoid clashing with her sold-out shows. Listen to Britney's lip-sync commentary below.

Hey There Cute Hair: Summer Waves
So a few weeks ago some friends asked us if we wanted to go get Mexican for Cinco de Mayo, and of course we could not resist. I only had a few minutes to get ready, so blow drying and styling my hair was out of the question. I popped on a headband and ended up tucking all of my hair into it like a chignon. Later that evening when I took it off, I had an AWESOME body wave and perfectly straightened bangs. Of course then the light bulb turned on, and I decided to do a little hair tutorial for all ya'll. You're going to need a thick headband, as shown below. This way of giving waves to your hair is best done before bed and slept on. You can also take the blow dryer to it, which works just fine. The results, either way, will gives your tresses perfect summer waves, beautiful bangs and a break from the curling iron/straightener.
It's ok if some of your hair falls out from the final wrap, because this is a more laid back hair style anyway. All I added to the finished style was a tiny amount of smoothing serum (I'm known to get some mad strays). Here's another picture of a time I did it at work. My hair turned out so perfectly smooth and wavy!
Have fun and look good!
