On a hill on Crystal Pond Road above Route 9 East a large luxury apartment complex is being constructed with an eye toward luring some of the 5,000 workers being relocated to companies in nearby Marlboro.
Madison Place at Southboro will consist of 11 three-story buildings with140 one- and two-bedroom rental apartments on about 17 acres. The market rate two-bedroom, two-bath units will rent for $1,900 to $2,000 a month. Monthly rent for the one-bedroom, one-bath units will be $1,500 to $1,550.
The project is being built under Chapter 40B, the state law designed to increase the supply of lower-cost housing. Thirty-five of the 140 apartments will be offered to households earning not more than 80 percent of the area median income, adjusted for household size. Seventy percent of the lower cost units will go to people who are town residents or employees of the town or the Northboro-Southboro Regional School district.
Under state Chapter 40B, the development, situated in an office park within an industrial zone, will be able to circumvent some of the town's zoning and other local bylaws and regulations because less than 10 percent of the town's housing units are considered by the state to be affordable to low- to moderate-income residents. Madison Place at Southboro will bring the town's affordable units from 3.4 percent to 7.2 percent.
Robert E. Moss of Westboro, owner of the development, bought the hillside lot from New York-based Park Central Realty Trust for $2.1 million. He has 32 years of experience of constructing mostly single-family homes in Shrewsbury, Northboro, Westboro and Southboro. Last year he completed the 96-unit Madison Place in Shrewsbury. He has a proposal to construct Madison Place in Sudbury.
Mr. Moss said the development will satisfy the need for rental housing and affordable housing identified by the town's 2008 master plan and 2004 affordable housing plan. He said no rental housing has been built in Southboro since the 1980s.
"It's pretty obvious that unlike Shrewsbury, there's almost no rental property in Southboro. There's also a need for affordable units. So it's kind of satisfying two specific needs."
Mr. Moss said he was attracted to the Southboro site because access to the development is Route 9 and it is close to Route 495 and the Mass Turnpike. The development will also be about three miles from the MBTA station in Southboro.
With construction expected to be completed the end of this year, Mr. Moss said he hopes to be able to attract some of the 5,000 workers that will relocate to Marlboro with TJX, Boston Scientific and Quest Diagnostic.
"They're all probably well-paid jobs. And I think some of those people will find our location to be attractive. It's all good timing," he said.
Some of the amenities will include high-end appliances, granite, marble, Kohler plumbing fixtures, high ceilings and art work in the hallways. Each apartment will also have a home office.
"Our experience in Shrewsbury is we have a lot of people working out of their homes. This will enable them to set up work stations independent of the normal family room," Mr. Moss said.
The town will receive $338,000 in mitigation money for upgrades to the police and fire dispatch system and for recreation.
The development will be served by town water and a common subsurface sewage disposal system. An on-site treatment facility will handle the proposed 21,560 gallons of wastewater per day.

Sales and Marketing Advice for Florida business
How to turn your emails into revenue
Email can be a beneficial marketing tool. Here's how to use it to your advantage.
Market segmentation -- who needs it! The argument goes something like this; "we've researched the demographics, firmographics, psychographics and know exactly who we are targeting."
Maybe, maybe not.
Your reality is that all of your prospects and customers do not fit into the same bucket. If they did, you'd reach and communicate with them in a snap. Segments of your market have different needs -- and the value you offer is not the same for each.
So, why are you marketing to your entire audience in the same way and trying to force the identical conversation on everyone?
Email marketing is a very cost-effective way to have the conversation you want with each audience segment. And it complements all of your other marketing activities. Whether you're looking to bring in new customers or new revenue from existing customers -- you should be doing both -- your email list is a great place to start.
Zeroing in on the different traits of each segment will enable you get the right message and content to the right targets. After all, you can't nurture a relationship if a significant slice of the audience wants prime rib, but the message is about chopped liver. That's not a good way to win over a hefty portion of potential buyers.
Email gives your audience exactly what they want. There's a reason people search the Web or are willing to subscribe to your email list -- they want specific, relevant content that solves their problems. Research shows that segmenting email into multiple lists will outperform untargeted email blasts. Email list segmentation helps companies connect with the people most likely to buy a particular offering and communicate in a way that resonates with them. Not sell, but educate, inform, and entertain.
The art of list segmenting. The most popular method of segmenting is by demographics -- yet, this yields the worse results compared to other methods. Try segmenting by purchase history, type of purchase, amount of purchase, click-through rates, and where or how your products or services were purchased -- both online and offline channels, including storefront locations, telephone sales, your Website, email offers, or by third parties. There may be other segmenting tactics important to your business and industry such as titles and job functions, referrals, geography, stage of the sales process, and when the last purchase was made or the frequency. You should consider having a list of people that have never bought anything from your company, yet have been a subscriber to your newsletter forever. Also, customers that haven't purchased within the six months. Email marketing services -- MailChimp is one of my favorites -- make it very easy for you to set as many list segments as your need. Lists are essential to successful email marketing. Use email list segmenting in your marketing campaigns and watch your revenue grow!
Use more than one opt-in technique. According to the Lyris Annual Email Optimizer Report, surveyed companies reported that Website registration is the most popular opt-in technique they use. But there are other list building practices that will pay big dividends for you. Use free white papers and guide books, free Webinars, complimentary consulting sessions, and in-store point-of-sale discount offers. Don't forget to work with strategic partners that can get the word out for your business too with co-marketing opportunities.
Email marketing should be a critical piece of a marketing plan. List building and segmenting is even more important. Having two or more lists is key and will increase your sales conversions. Profile your prospects and customers further. Sending everyone on a single list the exact same message is not the best marketing strategy, unless you want recipients to click on the button marketers fear most -- the "unsubscribe" link.
Note: Articles older than 30 days require registration (it's quick and free).

text: USC is making a strong pitch for 6-6 Elgin Cook of Northwestern Florida State JC in Niceville, FL. Frank Martin and his assistants have been down multiple times to scout Cook according to his coach Steve Forbes. Cook is the son of former Arkansas and NBA player Alvin Robertson. He signed with Iowa State out of high school and did not qualify. He enrolled at a prep school for a semester and redshirted, and then enrolled at the junior college and redshirted a semester. So, he has three season of eligibility remaining. This season he is averaging 15 points and 6 rebounds per game while shooting 62% from the floor. He will take official visits to Oregon and Gonzaga next weekend and will decide on his other official visits after his upcoming tournaments. USC, New Mexico, Virginia Commonwealth, Arkansas, Illinois and TCU are the schools he's considering for those last three visits.

Nuclear disarmament is a moral imperative that requires bold action from the world's military powers, a U.S. cardinal and a former secretary of defense said at a forum on Oct. 25 sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Cardinal Roger Mahony, retired archbishop of Los Angeles, and William Perry, who served as defense secretary under President Bill Clinton and helped build the U.S. nuclear arsenal during the cold war, said that even though eliminating nuclear weapons around the world will be a tough challenge, this does not mean world leaders should not try. "The church...finds the nuclear status quo morally unacceptable," Cardinal Mahony said, pointing to the need to begin moving toward a mutual, verifiable, global ban on such weapons. The church rejects "the view that nuclear deterrence is the only option in the long term," he said. "Rather, the church insists that nuclear disarmament, not nuclear deterrence, is a long-term basis for security."

The City Council has agreed to a 90-day trial for a series of changes to rules and regulations governing livery companies and livery drivers operating in the city.
By a 9-1 vote, the council last night supported the changes recommended by its Municipal Operations Committee, intended to ease ongoing tensions between the local taxicab and livery industries.
Under the new rules, livery companies must own and control licenses for livery drivers, and drivers will only be able to have a livery driver's license if they are employed by a livery company.
Also, drivers who own and operate their own cars, which are licensed as livery vehicles, can only operate them as liveries if affiliated with a livery company.
In addition, livery operators will only be able to pick up customers by appointment, with a minimum of two hours advance notice; the number of livery licenses will be capped at the current level, which is about 96; and livery companies will be required to maintain a physical office with log books and pertinent records.
Livery drivers will also have to produce a special work order drafted by the city, when required to do so, while waiting to pick up customers at Union Station or Worcester Regional Airport. The work order is to show that the customer had previously placed a pick-up reservation with a livery company.
Another significant change is that oversight for livery cars and drivers will be placed under the jurisdiction of the License Commission.
While the Police Department will still be involved in regulating local taxi and livery operators, the License Commission is intended to provide the public with a forum to address any complaints they may have.
District 5 Councilor William J. Eddy, a member of the Municipal Operations Committee, praised the behind-the-scenes efforts of Mayor Joseph M. Petty, Councilor-at-Large Joseph C. O'Brien and District 4 Councilor Sarai Rivera for getting representatives of the taxi and livery industries to the table to discuss the changes, as well as the leadership of Councilor-at-Large Michael J. Germain for getting the matter through before the Municipal Operations Committee.
He said the changes are intended to address complaints that taxi owners have long raised about livery operators, as well as improve overall service to the public.
"I am optimistic these (changes) have a chance to succeed," Mr. Eddy said.
Councilor-at-Large Konstantina B. Lukes cast the lone vote in opposition.
She said she fears the changes will end up creating two parallel taxi systems in the city and lead to further tensions between taxi and livery owners.
"I think we will eventually have to re-visit this," Mrs. Lukes said.
Limousine and shuttle services are regulated as "livery services" under state law. A livery is hired on a prearranged basis and does not have a rate meter, nor is it allowed to charge for services based upon miles. Also, liveries are not allowed to pick up fares on the street.
But cab owners have frequently complained that some livery operators are not following the rules governing their service.
The council earlier this year voted to impose a moratorium on the issuance of new licenses for liveries so it could assess the situation and determine whether a cap on livery licenses is needed.

Gin chapter 4 The first transformation
A voice says
Gin wake up..... Wake up Gin....
Not now mom give me 10 more minutes. Said Gin
Oh you will wake up now says the mysterious voice
A Dragon grabs Gin with his teeth and throws him a few feet away from him.
Gin waaaa ahhh falls hard on the ground what the hell !!!
Gin looks up to see who threw him and is shocked to see a dragon.
So your finally awake Gin.
Gin You... You can talk?
Why yes I can talk we dragons do posses the ability to learn any language including yours my names Sai you should have heard of me from your father. Said Sai
Wait your Sai the legendary dragon that fought with my father all those years ago? Said Gin
Yes I am why are you so surprised? Said Sai
I pictured you much bigger and scarier said Gin
Sai stands up and growls in Gin's face showing his sharp teeth.
Is that better?
Gin in shock swallows some spit and says yea that was pretty good. Where are we... I don't remember anything last thing I saw...
Gin seeing his mother lifeless body...
The village burning...
Seeing his father die in the battlefield...
The village! Mom Dad Kairi said Gin.
Gin turns around and begins to run towards the direction of the village.
Sai stops him in his tracks.
I am sorry Gin but there's nothing left for you back there the village is gone only pain and suffering await for you there... Said Sai
No... Gin drops to his knees It can't be how can this happen dad was the legendary warrior who saved everyone from Zerenos in the dragon wars. How could he have lost?
Sai turns his face towards the village.
Your dad was a great and fearfull warrior but he didint have enough power to face Zerenos this time he tried his best with what he had. Said Sai
(Sai gets angry) Sage he knew your dad would be vunarable yesterday he knew your father not having me by his side would make him weaker.
Gin looks at the sword the swords glows a bright blue aura.
If dad had his sword he would still be here (begins to cry)
It's not your fault Gin honor your father as the great warrior he was you must carry on his legacy and defeat Zerenos.
I will teach you everything I can in order for you to be strong enough to defeat Sage. He really is Zerenos true wielder I have never seen anyone with his power. The way he controlled Zerenos dark power like if it was nothing makes him very dangerous.
True wielder or not I will kill him il make him pay for everything he did! (Hits the ground with extreme force that cracks the ground beneath Gin) said Gin
Calm yourself Gin we are not out of harm's way I have awakened now and Sage will do everything in his power to kill you he knows you're a great treat and I made an unbreakable promise to your father when you were born. Said Sai
(Baby crying)
Aw look at him Sai he will be a great warrior. Said Shin
(Sai emerges from the sword in spirit form)
He looks like a cry baby to me Shin are you sure about him being a great warrior?
(Laughs) Just hear those cries he's got some lungs in him and yes he will be I can see it in his eyes he will surpass me in power in due time I want you to promise me something Sai. Said Shin
(Sai looks at Shin)
What is it Shin?
One day I will entrust him with you and if anything happens to me I want you to watch over my son protect him with your power until he's ready to be one with you. Said Shin
You think he can handle the transformation and my power? Shin
He is my son and I won't live forever Sai he will be your next master the blood of the Miyazaki's run through his veins he will succeed with the trials that you put him true I believe in him. Said Shin
(Sai looks at the baby)
Have you decided a name Shin if he is my future master I must know his name.
His name will be Gin, Gin Miyazaki…. Said Shin
Really that's all you could think of (laughs) Said Sai
Shut Up! Said Shin
Its ok so you will be Gin (Sai looks at Gin) I promise Shin I will protect him with my life. Said Sai
(Gin smiles at Sai)
See he likes you already Sai. Said Shin
(Sai laughs) He likes me now wait till the training starts.
(Shin breathes deeply)Yeah don't remind me I still have mental scars (laughs hysterically)
Oh it wasn't that bad it made a man out of you. Said Sai
Yeah after I almost died a few time's. Said Shin
Sai looks at Shin
Now I see where Gin gets his crying from his fathers a big baby (laughs)
(Shin laughs along)
Grow up strong my son (kisses Gin on the cheek) I will protect you even when my heart stops beating.
(Flashback ends)
And that is why I will protect you because I made a promise to your father and dragons don't break promises. Said Sai
(Gin wipes tears from his eyes)
Where do we start Sai?
You must train in the Temple of Dragons I have awakened but you still do not possess the ability or knowledge to wield me let alone use my powers. Said Sai
Temple of Dragons where and what is that place? Said Gin
The Temple of Dragons is the place where we Dragons train our masters in combat and transformations. It also has trials for each Dragon Master to further understand our power. And as to where the Temple is only we dragons can take you there by using our powers because its location must be kept secret I will teleport you there once you are ready Gin.
(Gin brushes off the dirt in his clothes)
All right that's better I am ready Sai.
Ok (says Sai) let us begin.
(Sai transform into his spirit form a small ghostly figure of him and floats towards Gin)
Wow your small know. Said Gin
Yes this is my spirit form it makes it easier to travel now don't be scared. Said Sai
Scared of what (said Gin)
(A whirlwind start on Gin legs)
Sai what's that what's going on
I am teleporting us I said don't be scared (laughs)
(The winds pick up and a barrier comes from the ground and traps gin like a diamond a bright lights shoots from the sky and hits the barrier and Gin and Sai disappear)
(Miles away)
Hmm it has begun I hope you come back stronger boy Sai won't save you next time.
(Turns around and puts on the hood of his cloak while wind blows on his cloak he gives a sinister laugh as he walks away)
(Gin arrives at the Temple of Dragons)
A light shoots down into a cave Gin is brought down still in the barrier as it slowly lands on a platform the barrier slowly dematerializes
Gin slowly walks forward
It's dark in here. Said Gin
As Gin continues walking forward his foot touches a magical seal on the ground and out of nowhere torches start lighting up in a straight line as Gin looks he can see The Temple appear out of the darkness as the torches reach the entrance of the temple the torches spread in a wide area showing the entire temple.
Gin continues walking slowly towards the temple looking at his surroundings he sees statues of people with dragons behind them.
Sai what are those statues and why are the dragons made out of different gems? Said Gin
They are the dragons that were in the war there colors represent there elements the people you see in front were they're masters. Said Sai
Where are the dragons now? Said Gin
Most of them died in the war with their masters the remaining few returned to their weapons where they lay dormant until needed again.
Said Sai
Hmm ok
Gin reaches the temple stairs and looks up to see a giant statue of Sai made out of blue topaz.
Wow it's a statue of you! Says Gin
Gin climbs up the stair the closer he gets to the statue he can see another one underneath it.
What's that? Says Gin
You should know. Said Sai
Gin reaches the top of the stairs and gets shocked by what he sees
Is… Is that dad…?
Walks closer and hugs the statue
It is dad.
Gin looks at his father's statue standing tall posing with his sword in front of him.
Wow he looked like such a bad ass back then. (Laughs)
Yeah he was a lot like you when he was young always trying to show off. (Sai laughs)
I don't always show off huh Sai what's that.
Gin looks behind the statue sees a hallway. He walks towards the hallway and stops in the center.
What's with all the different doors where do they lead to?
Not every dragon master trains the same way Gin each dragon has their own element Fire Wind Water Earth Lighting and then my element Light and Zerenos Darkness. As you can see the door are marked by elements. Said Sai
Are you able to master multiple elements? Said Gin
Dragon masters are able to master all the elements if they can withstand the knowledge of every element which takes a toll on the body.
Shin was able to master 6 elements. Said Sai
What was the last element he couldn't master? Said Gin
Darkness… He never discovered how to control it and at some points in time he was almost consumed by it. So your father vowed to never access the element of darkness.
So what door do I start with Sai? Said Gin
The choice is yours and yours alone Gin. Said Sai
What element did father choose first? Said Gin
He chose the Lighting Element your father lacked in speed and the Lighting Element help him gain an advantage against faster opponents with immense speed that was rivaled to no one.
Except for me I was always on equal ground when it came to speed with my dad. Said Gin
He never activated his lighting element trust me Gin your father was much faster than you think. Said Sai
If you say so Sai I'll just have to prove to you I was faster than my dad.
(Gin walks to the lighting element door)
So you chose this element interesting let's see if you are your father's son. Said Sai
(Gin turns the knob to the left and opens the door a bright light appears)
(Gin takes a deep breath and walks in)
(Gin continues to walk forward while looking around he sees a path leading to a mountain)
Where are we Sai?
This place is where you will train Gin follow this path to the mountain till the top you will find a temple and there will your true test awaits for now the easy part begins. By the way jump back!
Wait… What…
(Gin looks up and a lightning bolt shoots towards him)
Shit! Move
(Gin jumps backwards and stumbles on the ground)
What the fuck was that Sai!
(Sai laughs)
This is where your training starts you must prove yourself to the element that you are worthy of its power make it to the temple while dodging his bolts this is where your so called speed comes to play can you reach the temple without getting hit by the lighting.
All right
(Gin gets up from the ground pats the dust from his clothes)
All I have to do is not get hit by the lightning sounds simple.
(Gin starts stretching)
I wouldn't take too long doing that if I were you. Said Sai
(Another lightning bolt shoots towards gin again)
(Gin jumps to his right spinning and lands on his hands and feet begins to dash forward to the temple)
(Gin begins dodging lightning bolts left and right while dashing forward)
Shit, damn, fuck that was close… I can see the stairs now I got to climb fast.
(Gin reaches the top of the stairs but is blown back by a lightning bolt hitting the ground in front of him)
Ahhh damn didn't see that coming.
(Gin lands on his feet and dashes forward)
I won't stop now!
(Temple doors slammed opened)
Made it (breathing heavily)
(Gin looks around)
It's so dark in here where can I find a torch?
(Gin walks forward and torches begging lighting up)
I got to start getting used to that.
(Gin see's the torches light up and reveal a hallway)
This must be the way.
(Gin continues to walk down the hallway he looks at the walls noticing images of dragons)
Sai who are these dragons in these images?
They are the dragons who's power was lighting they were quick and agile and very shocking in a matter of speak.
(Sai laughs)
(Gin arrives in front of a stone door)
So Gin, are you ready for your first test.
Ready as I will ever be… Said Gin
Behind this door lies your opponent that will test your abilities to master the speed of the lighting element.
(Gin opens the door a gust of wind enters the room)
(Gin takes a deep breath and walks into the room)
(While standing in the middle of the room Gin looks around he sees stone columns around the room the room is well lit up but he sees no one around and asks Sai.)
Sai is this a joke there's no one here how am I supposed to be test…
(Before Gin can finish his sentence he gets kicked in the face by a round house kick)
(Gin spins in circles and lands on a wall)
You shouldn't speak so soon Gin
(Gin spits out blood and wipes his mouth)
Good so you show yourself finally
(Gin looks up confused)
Huh? Where is he?
Gin Move! (Screamed Sai)
(Gin moves to the side and avoids a straight kick)
Wow your fast.
(Gin looks at his opponent before he disappears)
(Gin hears a voice)
My name is Tarrant!
(A bolt of lightning shoots down in the middle of the room and Tarrant appears)
(Gin lowers his arms to see Tarrant he sees a white haired man with a black vest and white pants)
(Gin sees that Tarrant's eyes are closed)
This is my chance to strike back. (Gin Rushes to Tarrant) (Gin throws six punches but Tarrant Dodges five of them and catches Gin's last punch)
You are weak (Says Tarrant) is this all the speed and power you have? (Tarrant opens his eyes lighting can be seen inside his eyes)
(Gin goes for a roundhouse kick but misses) Dammit!
Too slow (Says Tarrant while elbowing Gin in the stomach)
(Gin tumbles backwards)
My Turn! (Says Tarrant)
(Gin tries blocking Tarrant's punches but there so fast that Gin can't keep up)
(Gin gets hit with a punch to the stomach that sends him flying backwards into the wall)
(Tarrant continues his deadly assault punching Gin through the wall)
Sai ugh how can I get the upper hand on this guy he's far too fast I can't keep up with him?
You must tap into your abilities (said Sai)
That's easier said than done Sai
(Tarrant rushes towards Gin with a kick. Gin jumps to the side while Tarrant's kick hits the wall)
(Debris flies from Tarrant's impact. Gin rushes to Tarrant for a counter attack.)
Gin hooks Tarrant by the neck and brings him down with force cracking the floor in the process.
He continues pummeling Tarrant on the floor.
Tarrant grabs hold of Gin's right hand and kicks him off.
Gin roll on the ground then grabs a hold of his composure. Gin and Tarrant but stand up at the same time.
Gin clenches his fists and begins a bouncing motion almost as if he was about to lift himself from the ground.
Tarrant looking confused take's on a fighting stance waiting for Gin to make a move.
Gin continues bouncing up and down Gin smile's at Tarrant.
Tarrant slightly turns his head in confusion in this precise moment before Gin's feet hit the ground he went into overdrive appearing on Tarrant's right side before he knew where he was both engaged in close quarter combat neither giving in but both taking heavy damage.
Tarrant hits Gin in the body staggering him before he hit's the ground Gin throws a reverse roundhouse kick catching Tarrant in the jaw sending him flying a few steps ahead of Gin.
Gin puts his right hand on the ground to catch himself from falling then he propels himself forward towards Tarrant.
Gin with momentum flips forward and kicks Tarrant. Tarrant blocks the kick with his left arm and punches Gin in the face with his right hand sending Gin rolling backwards.
This isn't going so well Sai.
nonsense you hurt him with that kick so this fight is not entirely going to shit.

Tarrant clasped his hands together then open them slowly revealing a sword with electric energy surrounding it. He swung the sword downwards fully revealing it in further detail showing a dark blue katana.

Hi! I'm looking for ways to practice proofreading and I would like to Volunteer to proofread your fan fiction for you. I would just be looking for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. And making sure sentences make sense.
That way you can focus on your story.
If you would like I'll proofread the prologue so that you can see my work before you decide.
Trying to make the impossible, possible !
Just to ask, but why not post this on a site more dedicated to original/fan-made stories? For instance (just the two I use), you could use http://www.fictionpress.com/ (for original content) and http://www.fanfiction.net/ (for fan fiction).
[No information available]

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The trial of a U.S. Army general facing charges he sexually assaulted a female subordinate has been delayed indefinitely.
A court-martial for Brig. Gen. Jeffery A. Sinclair had been scheduled to begin Tuesday. Officials at Fort Bragg announced Thursday that the process of selecting a jury will begin next week, but that opening statements, testimony and the other elements are on hold.
The judge overseeing the case has not yet set a new date for the trial to begin.
Prosecutors had sought the delay because of concerns that selecting an impartial jury could be a lengthy process. Under the military justice system, the guilt or innocence of a defendant is judged by those of higher rank. In Sinclair's case, that means generals with two stars and above.

|Afghanistan: four months on, hope remains alive for the safe return of Jesuit Refugee Service director
Dear students and friends of Prem,
Delhi, 3 October 2014 – Yesterday, the 2 October marked four long months since Alexis Prem Kumar – serving with the Jesuit Refugee Service – was abducted by a group of armed men from a JRS-supported school in Sohadat, a government township for returnee families, 35 km from Herat city in western Afghanistan.
Committed to the children of Afghanistan, JRS has resumed all its formal and non-formal education programmes, including Sohadat school. Coming from a family of teachers in a tiny south Indian village, this is surely what Prem would want.
The teachers and students at Sohadat school and JRS training centres now begin their day with a prayer for the "kind Indian aid-worker" whom they miss terribly. On the day their school reopened, they made a special appeal: "give us back Mr Prem, a person we love, who took care of our education with deep dedication and compassion".
They believe he is safe somewhere in Afghanistan. Yet with no confirmed news of his captors or whereabouts, Prem's aged-father, brothers and sisters, and the many from India, Afghanistan and across the world who know and love him are rightly concerned for his health and safety.
Prem came as a dedicated teacher, a good man, a man of peace, to serve others to the best of his ability, bringing hope of a brighter future to the children and youth of Afghanistan. As we prepare to celebrate World Teachers' Day and Eid al-Adha on 5 and 6 October in Afghanistan, we ask those holding Prem captive to heed our plea and release him without delay.
The peaceful transition of power to a new government in Afghanistan on 29 September holds the promise of new a beginning. We urge the new government to take all measures possible to bring Prem back. We thank those who have tirelessly worked for his release under difficult circumstances. With all who hold him dear, we pray that Prem will soon be back, with his cheerful smile and compassionate heart, so that many more may come to share his dream of a brighter future for the children of Afghanistan.
Thank you for your support and solidarity,
Stan Fernandes SJ
JRS South Asia Director

HALF MOON BAY — Friends and family devastated by the tragic beach death this week of Adam Jay Pye continued to mourn Wednesday, remembering the San Lorenzo resident as a "remarkable" young man with a big heart.
Pye, 26, died Monday evening at Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay after a sand tunnel he was digging collapsed and buried him under 4 feet of sand for more than 30 minutes.
Pye, the oldest sibling of three children, had recently graduated Cal State East Bay with a bachelor's degree in communications and was planning to move to Southern California to start his career after working for UPS at Oakland International Airport for several years, family said.
"He was just a remarkable person. Always smiling," his father Kevin Pye, 55, said Wednesday. He is survived by his mother Debra Pye, sister Felicia Pye and brother Brian Pye, all from San Lorenzo.
Adam Jay Pye was trapped beneath the sand just before 5:30 p.m. after hours of digging holes nearly twice as deep as he was tall, Cal Fire Capt. Jonathan Cox said. Pye was uncovered within 35 minutes by a crew of more than 30 county firefighters and dozens of beachgoers who joined in to help, but was pronounced dead at the beach, part of Half Moon Bay State Beach. The cause of death was "suffocation; sand hole entrapment."
The man had been spending time with family and friends at a spot near an RV park, where he and another young woman dug two large, diagonal holes about 10 feet deep, then tried to connect them to make a tunnel, Cox said. While officials could not say what caused the tunnel to collapse, Cox said the tide was about 6 to 10 feet away and that no water infiltrated the hole.
Friends and family this week created an online fundraising page and a Facebook memorial page in his memory and to help his family pay for funeral arrangements.
"There will never be another person who can light up the room with a smile or laugh like he did," one of his friends, Katie Kilian, wrote on the memorial page.
"To Adam's family and friends, so sorry for your loss," Jake Storm wrote. "May you be blessed and comforted in your time of need."

Skip to comments.IAEA: Iran 3-8 years from atomic weapons
Posted on 05/24/2007 9:49:03 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
LUXEMBOURG - The head of the U.N. nuclear agency said Thursday he agreed with CIA estimates that Iran was three to eight years from being able to make nuclear weapons and he urged the U.S. and other powers to pursue talks with the Islamic country.
The best way to keep Iran from acquiring nuclear arms is "through a comprehensive dialogue," International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei told a news conference in Luxembourg. "One way to do that, rather than to continue the rhetoric, is to ... sit down together."
On Wednesday, the IAEA reported that Iran's uranium enrichment program was expanding in defiance of U.N. demands that it be suspended, findings that could lead to new sanctions against the country.
The report also warned that the IAEA's knowledge of those activities was shrinking.
"We are moving toward Iran building (nuclear) capacity and knowledge, without (the IAEA) in a position to verify the nature or scope of that program," ElBaradei said.
ElBaradei would not offer his own view of when Iran would be able to produce nuclear weapons. But he added, "I tend to agree with (CIA estimates) that even if Iran wanted to go to nuclear weapons it would not be before the end of this decade or sometime in the middle of the next" three to eight years.
Iran insists it has no intention of pursuing nuclear weapons as the U.S. and its allies fear saying its program is only for producing an alternative source of energy.
Pushed by the United States, France and Britain, the U.N. Security Council has imposed sanctions twice against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, which can produce both fuel for a reactor and the material for a nuclear warhead.
ElBaradei said the United States should take "inspiration" from negotiations that have recently defused the crisis over North Korea's nuclear activities even though the North has yet to fulfill its pledge to scrap its weapons program.
ElBaradei attended a conference of about 60 nuclear arms technology experts from a dozen nations, including the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and Sweden.
In an opening address, ElBaradei said the U.N. needs a far more "agile and systematic approach for responding to cases of (nuclear) proliferation."
He said the acquisition of nuclear arms technology by India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea showed the current shortcomings.
Monitoring compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty must be "drastically reformed," he said, adding that he will propose a set of changes in the next few weeks.
One idea is the creation of an international nuclear "fuel bank," which would eliminate any reason for countries seeking a peaceful nuclear program to enrich uranium themselves.
The emphasis on containing enrichment has gained prominence because of the concern about Iran's nuclear ambitions. The IAEA started investigating Iran's program after revelations that the country for nearly two decades had been clandestinely developing enrichment and other nuclear activities that could be used to make weapons.
Associated Press writer George Jahn contributed to this report from Vienna, Austria.

fyi for the 'When does Iran go nukular?' pool crowd.
I might believe it's 3-8 years before something is done about Iran, though.
I heard on Lars show yesterday, they have over 2,000 centerfuges enriching uranium. Sounds like that are closer....
Bullcrap. 2-3 inmho. Forget the 5-8. Two years, maybe three.
If you take this title and plug it in the FR search engine and check out the results,, there are threads saying 2-3 years ago from 2 and 3 years ago. ;-)
I'm sure Ahmabadpatootiepie will let us know when it's soup... if he doesn't get tossed out of office before then.
If you take these estimates & adjust them based on the IAEA's & CIA's track record with estimate accuracy, that translates into Iran actually being anywhere from ~6 months to ~20 years away. Not extremely useful for decision-making.
I'm leaning towards 1 to 2 years myself. Don't forget when we built the first atomic weapons it took us 5 years from scratch. We did not have an ample supply of nuclear enrichment facilities, reactors, scientists skilled in this field or anything else. Iran is building its nukes with the help of Russkie expertise and equipment. I find it hard to imagine that they don't have a weapon at the moment.
Umm. Yeah Sure.
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]
Three to eight? Then probably we won't have to do anything for maybe seven and a half years.
Now, what is the chance we'll be any more willing to do anything about it seven years from now, if we aren't willing to do anything now?
Unless they have a plan to bring down the Tehran government, they are whistling past the graveyard. Tragedy is headed our way, and we are deer staring into the headlights.
3-8 years from nukes. That would be 3-8 years since nukes and 11 years since first test.
Yep, you sure got us back for that dropping all those enchiladas on Pearl harbor.
...and engage in... rhetoric?
Whatever you hear from the IAEA, the truth is worse.
No, we didn't destroy New Mexico's will to fight, we destroyed Japan's will to fight!
Very fitting that a man named "Mohamad" would suggest that negotiating with Ahmadinejad is worthwhile!

Statements on preaching and ways that bishops can respond to modern-day challenges to church teaching by using new technologies are among the items the U.S. bishops will consider when they gather in Baltimore for their annual fall assembly. Scheduled for Nov. 12 to 15, the assembly also will consider a statement on work and the economy proposed by its Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development as a way to raise public awareness of growing poverty and the struggles experienced by unemployed people. The bishops are also scheduled to vote on a document encouraging Catholics to see Lent next year as an opportunity to return to regular celebration of the sacrament of penance and reconciliation. A statement on work and the economy, titled "Catholic Reflections on Work, Poverty and a Broken Economy," is expected to advance the bishops' priority of human life and dignity to demonstrate the new evangelization in action.

Black Ops 2: early players won't have stats reset at launch, PC getting 90 FOV post-launch
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has fallen into the hands of gamers ahead of its launch at midnight tonight. Treyarch's David Vonderhaar has explained that those playing early will not have their stats reset at launch, unless they obtained their copy illegally. The studio has also tweeted that it is working on a FOV patch for the PC build that ups the range from 80 to 90. More details and quotes below.
MP1st reports that game design director at Treyarch David Vonderhaar discussed the plans for pre-release players on Twitter. It came as certain retailers broke the game's street date.
Vonderhaar said of the matter, "FAQ. Will people be reset? A. Read the previously linked Security/Enforcement policy. Unless you are a bad person doing bad things, no."
Earlier Vonderhaar shed light on what might happen to people doing 'bad things' in this tweet, "We know if you cheated. GG SCRUB CHEATER. DQ PERMA-BAN."
On the issue of Black Ops 2's FOV, Treyarch recently stated that the view would be capped at 80, much to the displeasure of many gamers on Twitter. However, one of Treyarch's PC developers tweeted, "On the post-launch patch task list: 90 FOV," suggesting that a fix is in the works.

It's clear from recent events that the University of Florida is no longer a football school.
It's clear from recent events that the University of Florida is no longer a football school.
It's a women's gymnastics school. And a women's tennis school. And possibly a women's lacrosse and softball school, too.
The Gator women's teams don't generate the same attention or revenue as the football and men's basketball teams. But the national championship won Saturday by the women's gymnastics team, its first in the sport, is the latest news showing the commitment that the UF Athletic Association has made to women's athletics.
Of course, all the fancy facilities in the world don't mean anything if the teams don't deliver. Women's gymnastics did so in dramatic fashion, shaking off three falls in its first seven routines to take the title with a series of strong scores.
"We could have done without the drama of the first round," UF President Bernie Machen joked at a rally Monday. "But we are so proud of what you were able to accomplish for our school and our community."
Since the NCAA started awarding national titles in women's gymnastics in 1982, just four other schools have won them. The Gators finished 0.075 points shy of winning last year's title, so this year's results were no fluke.
Indeed, anyone who's seen the gymnastics team compete at the O'Connell Center can vouch for its athletes being among the very best at what they do. Spectators also know that the crowd can be a family affair, with the team providing solid role models for the young girls in attendance.
The gymnastics team isn't alone in its success. The women's tennis team recently won a Southeastern Conference championship Sunday, its 19th title in the 26-year history of the league's postseason event. The team will now pursue its third straight national championship.
The softball team has the nation's best record after a no-hitter thrown Sunday, while the women's lacrosse team closed just its fourth season by beating usually dominant Northwestern.
It's enough to change the lyrics of UF's favorite pep song to "We are the Girls from Old Florida."

Navigating dangerously: Who has your personal data?

Obamacare uses contracted "navigators" to help people sign up for health insurance. The law contains no provision requiring these people to submit to a background check. Republicans in the New Hampshire House want to require background checks for this state's navigators, but House Democrats object. Why?
Last November, U.S. Sen John Cornyn, R-Texas, asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius: "So a convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information from an individual, unbeknownst to them?" Sebelius answered: "That is possible."
Navigators handle sensitive information such as Social Security numbers. Background checks should be required. House Bill 1328 would do that. But it probably won't pass. Democrats think it will slow down Obamacare signups. Politics before public safety. How awful.

A local teen has earned recognition in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search for a research project she carried out last summer at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE). Emily Armstrong, a senior at Our Lady of Mercy High School, is among the 300 semi-finalists nationwide chosen from the 1,712 who entered the prestigious competition. She will be awarded $1,000 and her school will receive $1,000 to support its science, math and engineering programs.
Armstrong plans to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she will study Physics next year. Talking about her research project at the LLE, Armstrong said that "the experience definitely confirmed for me my interest in pursuing a career in research."
Armstrong worked with Dr Matthew Barczys to investigate the feasibility of using Hartmann grids, an optical instrument, for measuring the wavefront quality of the UV portions of the OMEGA EP Laser System. She designed and made Hartmann grids, tested them experimentally, analyzed the images they produced, and compared her measurements with simulations. "We actually collected quite sophisticated data with sensors made by printing the design [for the Hartmann grids] onto standard projection slides," Armstrong said. She showed that Hartmann sensing is accurate and suitable to use on OMEGA EP.
LLE's primary mission is to study the conditions necessary to create and sustain fusion. Involving young adults in state-of-the-art science is another goal of LLE's scientists and engineers. "Our program provides a unique educational opportunity for talented high-school students. They're amazingly motivated, and it's exciting to see them recognized as among the best in the nation," said Stephen Craxton, LLE physicist and high-school program director.
LLE started its summer high school program in 1989 and has had 297 participants to date. Students working at the laboratory have made up the large majority of Rochester-area Intel semi-finalists honored during the past two decades. Armstrong is the 31st student from the LLE program to become a semi-finalist.
Application materials for LLE's summer program can be found on the LLE Web site (www.lle.rochester.edu). For more information about the program itself, please contact Dr. Craxton at (585) 275-5467.

PARIS (AP) - Rafael Nadal won the French Open title for the ninth time, and the fifth time in a row, by beating Novak Djokovic 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4 Sunday in the final.
Nadal improved his record at Roland Garros to 66-1, and stretched his winning streak at the clay-court major to 35 straight.
But it didn't look too good at the start for the top-seeded Spaniard. Djokovic won the first set and looked to be in control of nearly every point. The combination of Nadal finding his range and the heat, however, started to take its toll on the second-seeded Serb.
Both players used ice-filled towels to cool themselves during changeovers, but Djokovic also looked like he vomited a bit as he was heading for the first changeover in the fourth set.

There is definitely a connection between sleep problems—particularly insomnia—and depression. We frequently find insomnia in patients diagnosed with clinical depression; in fact, sleep disturbance is one of the core symptoms of clinical depression. However, people with insomnia are more likely to develop depressive and anxiety disorders.
People with depression often have severe sleep disturbance, and they respond more slowly to treatment than other patients with sleep disorders. They also have an increased risk of recurrence of depression, and there is some evidence that people with depression also experience suicidal thoughts.
Oversleeping is less common in cases of depression—it occurs in about 15% of patients with depression, mostly among younger adults, particularly those with bipolar affective disorder (manic depression). Excessive sleepiness can be a symptom of depression, but most patients with depression have insomnia.

Depression is often associated with disturbances in vegetative functions—the things the body does to keep itself alive, such as eating and sleeping. Depression is usually associated with loss of appetite and weight loss, but it can also result in increased appetite and weight gain.
There aren't many well-controlled studies on the effectiveness of different treatments for concurrent depression and insomnia. In general, medication treatments take four different approaches:

You Told us Your Favourite Dolphin Electric Guitars
Your Favourite Electric Guitars
We recently asked you, our customers to tell us what your favourite Dolphin electric guitar is, and this is your top 5...
Ibanez RG
The Ibanez RG Prestige series of guitars was introduced back in 1987 and apparently it is still as tremendous today as it was 24 years ago. The RG series guitars are still thriving and evolving, they are world famous for their characteristic thin, fast necks and the unmistakable Ibanez hard-edged rock and metal tones. The RG Prestige models are now all made in Japan by Ibanez's finest luthiers, with Wizard necks, prestige finishing, Edge Zero and Edge Pro bridges, and a broad range of intense pickups in different configurations. Featuring a V7 neck pickup, S1 middle pickup and V8 bridge pickup combination, The RG1570/RG1550M can dial in any tone, from crystal clear to searing and nasty.
In the last two decades, no other guitar maker besides Ibanez has done so much to advance the art and science of the tremolo. The Edge Pro represents the next phase in locking tremolos. The RG1570 is the weapon of choice for visiting sonic mayhem on the metal masses… and we can see why it's in your top 5.
Fender American Standard Stratocaster
Icon. Not a word to be used lightly, but the Strat is just that. The new American Standard Stratocaster guitars are beauties to behold in sound, look and feel. The Fender Strat has been one of the most well-known and widely used guitars in the world since its introduction back in the 50s. The iconic Strat was branded such by its popularity with legends like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon.
Features include hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups, staggered tuners, improved bridge with bent steel saddles and copper-infused high-mass block for increased resonance and sustain, tinted neck, high-gloss maple or rosewood fretboard, satin neck back for smooth playability, thin-finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance. Every detail of the American Standard Strat has a purpose, to provide quality sound, look and performance and uphold its own legendary reputation.
Fender Vintage '52 Telecaster
Despite being well over half a century old now, and one of the longest-running production models in Fender's history, for many players the Vintage Telecaster will always represent the pinnacle of electric guitar design.
With an arguably less flashy, more workmanlike image than the curvaceous lines of the Stratocaster, and a raunchier set of basic tones, it's also one of the few electric guitars that excels in virtually every musical setting imaginable, barring perhaps extreme metal, without fitting new pickups.
From the Squier Affinity range, right up to the Custom Shop Time Machine models, Fender makes a Tele for every pocket. The enduring strength of the Telecaster guitar is its elegant simplicity. It has been modified only slightly since its early 1951 debut and now the '52 reissue has a premium ash body, one-piece U-shaped maple neck and 7.25"-radius fingerboard. It features two American Vintage Tele single-coil pickups, original Tele circuit with three-position switch, brass bridge saddles, ashtray bridge cover, single-ply black pickguard, chrome hardware and master volume and master tone controls.
The introduction of the new American Vintage Series marks the return to original specifications with a sharper body edge, distinctive neck shapes and new pickups that replicate all of the physical and tonal aspects of the originals.
Gretsch G6120AM Chet Atkins Model
Prom Queen... with its stunning good looks and poise, the Gretsch G6120AM will simply take your breath away. Features include 16" full hollow body, rock maple "action-flow" neck, ebony fingerboard, dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron™ pickups, Adjusto-matic™ bridge, and the incredibly famous and hugely sought after and admired Bigsby® B6G Vibrato tailpiece. Finished in luscious Amber Flame Maple Stain.
The Gretsch G6120AM Chet Atkins Model does not include tone controls but instead features a tone circuit. When designing the G6120AM, Atkins wanted to be able to change the tone of the guitar without any hassle and decided to include a pickup switch that was easily accessible. You only have to look at this guitar and it's obvious why this beauty is in your top 5.
Your Number 1
Gibson Les Paul Custom
"Here is the ultimate in a solid body guitar … The Incomparable Les Paul Custom Guitar," - Gibson catalog, circa mid-1950s
The Les Paul Custom 6-string Electric guitar has the highest level of elegance and beauty in the Les Paul family. Based on the original Les Paul design from 1954, the guitar that made rock history has powerful tone and prolonged sustain, just like the Alpine White Custom Les Paul.
The body is crafted with a hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. The pickups are Gibson's 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R's Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. Other appointments include Gibson's legendary Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, metal tulip tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware and a 1 11/16" nut width.The Les Paul Custom is now one of Gibson's bestselling models and according to you, our customers; it's the Dolphin's number 1 guitar.

NEW YORK (AP) — During some perilous times for the cable news networks, CNN is relieved to find there's still some resonance to the 1960s.
The first of a series of look-backs at the decade that CNN is planning to air, this one focused on television, reached 1.39 million viewers Thursday, the Nielsen company said. That more than doubled the 493,000 viewers the network has been averaging in the 9 p.m. weeknight time slot this year. CNN repeated the show immediately at 10 p.m., and that also more than doubled the time slot's average.
CNN repeated the show four times over the weekend.
The good vibes didn't last, however. On Friday, CNN had 182,000 viewers at 10 p.m. for a profile on Seth MacFarlane and a sports show, the network's smallest audience for the time slot since 2000.
Except for a brief flurry of interest with the story of the missing Malaysian airlines, it has been a rough year for the cable networks. There were several negative milestones in May: Fox News Channel had its lowest full-day viewership in the key news demographic of viewers aged 25 to 54 since 2001, and MSNBC had its lowest full-day viewership among all ages since 2007.
"The Sixties" is an important test for the direction new CNN boss Jeff Zucker is taking to try and boost ratings, with an increased emphasis on taped nonfiction programming.
In prime time this past week, HBO's "Game of Thrones" had its second-biggest audience ever on Sunday night, reaching 7.2 million viewers, Nielsen said.
Broadcast networks are beginning to mix in some new summer programming. The best showing last week was NBC's medical drama, "The Night Shift," which landed in the week's top 10 with its premiere episode. Meanwhile, Fox's reality series enticing women to date a Prince Harry impersonator is a failure, reaching 1.1 million viewers last week.
CBS won the week in prime time, averaging 5.5 million viewers. NBC had 5.2 million, ABC had 4.1 million, Fox had 3 million, Univision had 2.7 million, Telemundo had 1.5 million, ION Television had 1.1 million and the CW had 1 million.
ESPN was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 3.14 million viewers in prime time. TNT had 3.04 million, History had 2.35 million, USA had 1.79 million and the Disney Channel had 1.64.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.1 million viewers. ABC's "World News" was second with 7.3 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6 million viewers.
For the week of May 26-June 1, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 12 million; "NCIS," CBS, 9.4 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 8.72 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 8.22 million; NBA Playoffs: San Antonio vs. Oklahoma City (Saturday), TNT, 8.15 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 7.88 million; "The Night Shift," NBC, 7.67 million; NBA Playoffs: Miami vs. Indiana (Wednesday), ESPN, 7.31 million; "Criminal Minds," CBS, 7.26 million; "Game of Thrones," HBO, 7.17 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is owned by 21st Century Fox. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks.

Invoking Justice
All series episodes
About This Episode
"I want to ask why there is one justice for men and another for women; men go on talking, whereas a woman has to only open her mouth and she is shushed up. We need this women's Jamaat. Where will women go with their cases, otherwise? No, we will not, cannot remain silent. I will not, for I have been so for all these years. So let us now talk back." — Akhtar Beevi, member of the Tamil Nadu Women's Jamaat
Fed up with male-dominated Jamaats (community councils), where they have neither voice nor place, Sharifa and other poor rural and small-town Muslim women in South India set up their own Jamaat in 2003. This was an act of extraordinary challenge and courage, since traditionally Jamaats can only be founded and run by men.
In this unique Jamaat, dowry harassment, domestic violence, divorce, and maintenance and property disputes shall no longer be judged by men. Opposition from male clerics and the community is fierce, but the Women's Jamaat has not only prevailed but grown in strength and legitimacy: to date, they have arbitrated over 10,000 disputes using homespun logic and an innate sense of justice to reclaim the Koran.
Invoking Justice tells the story of this unique strategy from the perspective of Sharifa, a long-time feminist who leads the core group of 20 women that collectively acts on the petitions. Challenging the stereotype of oppressed subjugated Muslim women, they take us on an exhilarating journey as they follow two cases that come to the Jamaat.

Last month an arbitration panel ordered the investment firm USB financial to pay over $80 million in consequential investments to Kajeet, Inc., a company who markets cellphones for kids. Kajeet's award fell short of the $110 million requested but was more than ten times the company's the initial $8 million investment.
"This case sends a shot across the bow for Wall Street firms that if they violate securities laws, they can be held liable for consequential damages," said investors' lawyer Jacob Zamansky.
According to a recent WSJ article, Kajeet was forced to cut their 60 employee staff by more than half and cost the company a key distribution deal with a well known retail chain when the action rate securities market froze in February of 2008.
Auction rate securities were sold to investors as safe investments that were similar to cash or money market funds that offered higher return rates than long term debt investments, but when the market froze investors no longer had access to their funds causing a liquidity crisis for many investors.
It is great to see Wall Street being held accountable for their actions. Rulings like this one are necessary to safeguard investors from many of the devious tactics employed by many Wall Street investment firms.

I'm a huge fan of the grey jerseys and I seriously can't wait to see how the monochrome will look with wolf grey. I know we won't wear them against the guppies(alternative unis are only for home games) so when do you think we will see them? I can see the 9ers home game as a possibility but I'm not sure if we will even bust em out this year. it would be a shame if we didn't see them this season cause I bought a fan uni in grey in anticipation for them to come out during the Packers game which I attended(I bet my dad some $ they would rock them cause of MNF) but of course I was highly disappointed. I'm wondering if you guys could give some opinions or reasons they would bust out the swaggtastic alternatives on a certain night at the Clink?
