and went to the hawaiian islands at the age of 24 he resided there until he was 33 when he offered his ser vices to go among the lepers he went with the knowledge that he must stay that he must die a leper and at the head of his little church working to the last he did die a leper he remained at the settlement six teen years administering to the bodily and spiritual comfort of the wretched

claw the novel operation was performed recently when a close traveling cage was introduced into the den and placed against one of the sliding traps in the partition the animal having been induced to enter the cage it was removed to the floor of the building and another case but of different construction composed solely of iron bars placed endways to the door of the first cage and the two firmly lashed together after some little tiouble the animal was got i:it the second cage which was so narrow as not to admit of his turning round heavy inch and a half planks were then inserted between the bars and the lion tightly wedged in up to this point he had submitted quietly but on the introduction of the planks he splintered them up as easily as though they had been matchwood at last he was firmly wedged in and a little time was given him to cool down a fa vorable opportunity for the operation occurred in a few minutes his paw bring partly through the bars the head keeper lilunsden who was wait ing with a pair of powerful nippers seized the opportunity and the offend ing claw was promptly removed the operation which was conducted by dr harrison treasurer of the gardens was

Ainsworth of Gansevoort, N.Y., a senior at Clarkson University majoring in interdisciplinary engineering and management, has been selected to attend the inaugural meeting of Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) at Tulane University in New Orleans March 14-16. Ainsworth is the daughter of Paul and Mary Ainsworth of Gansevoort.
Ainsworth is the first student from Clarkson University to attend the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U), comprising college students selected from across the country coming together to tackle global problems with innovative solutions. As part of the William J. Clinton Foundation, CGI brings together world leaders, NGOs, and the private sector to convert good intentions into meaningful action and tangible results.
I am passionate about the environment, says Ainsworth. "As a college student, I am exploring opportunities with an energy services company to help others reduce their energy consumption. Attending CGI-U will be a great opportunity to put my enthusiasm and knowledge into action."
Ainsworth says that she will return and implement her "commitment to action" plan to challenge each student club to explore one product that is currently used by Clarkson and determine if there is a more sustainable alternative that can be used.
Much like the annual summit of the Clinton Global Initiative, which brings together business and political leaders to discuss a range of world issues, the inaugural Clinton Global Initiative University invites students and college officials to make a commitment on their campuses in one of four areas: energy and climate change, global health, human rights, and peace and poverty alleviation.
Five hundred to 600 students are expected at the three-day event, which features sessions and panels about the global issues identified by Clinton's foundation. President Clinton is scheduled to give the opening and closing remarks.
On the last day of the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a service learning project at the Make it Right site in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, assisting in landscaping the neighborhood in preparation for the groundbreaking of the Make it Right construction process.
Upon graduation in May, Ainsworth has accepted a position with TAC Energy Solutions in Dallas, Texas, as an energy solutions sales representative, specializing in performance contracting, which offers clients an energy efficient means of improving buildings and maintaining facilities.

(CNN) -- It seems like a cliche -- a powerful politician undone by underpants.
After a weeklong Twitter saga, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who represents New York's 9th Congressional District, confessed Monday that he sent lewd photos of himself to women, had inappropriate online relationships and had lied about them.
Photos of the married congressman in his underwear surfaced last week, turning Weiner into the center of a possible ethics investigation and an easy target in late-night comedy jokes.
What do you think about Rep. Weiner's confession?
Weiner joins a slew of high-profile men with sex scandals, such as former presidential contender John Edwards, who could face jail time, former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Nevada Sen. John Ensign.
It begs the question: Why does a public figure risk his reputation, marriage and career on a sexual impulse that can become so easily public -- such as sexting?
Weiner apologizes for lying, 'terrible mistakes,' refuses to resign
"Obviously for a politician, these impulses are more risky than for everyone else," said Dr. Marvin Zuckerman, professor emeritus of psychology from the University of Delaware.
Zuckerman describes people who disregard risk and pursue impulses as high-sensation seekers.
They pursue sensations that are novel or intense, such as exchanging flirty banter over social media, sexting or having an extramarital affair.
Jeff Gardere, a clinical psychologist, called it "a sexual Russian roulette" on CNN's "American Morning."
"You are doing something that is so stupid, it is almost crazy, he said. "And so, what's going on with him, quite obviously, he seems to be a man who has some impulse-control issues. He can't just control himself. That's part of it."
In a news conference Monday, Weiner described his actions as "dumb," "destructive" and "deeply, deeply hurtful" -- both for his admitted coverup and for repeatedly engaging in "inappropriate conversations."
"The bottom line here is that he was not thinking," Gardere said. "He was just in a situation where he was just fulfilling his own pleasure principle."
Weiner could have some form of deeper pathology, such as depression, stress or risk-taking, he added.
Weiner's risque risks: A politician's nature
But high risk taking is not always related to sex. Some risk takers are adventure seekers, mountain climbers or people who seek stimulation, said Zuckerman who wrote a book called "Sensation Seeking and Risk Behavior."
Sensation seekers are bored with the ordinary experience and try to push the boundaries. Every time they get away with an activity, it only emboldens them.
"Every time you experience something risky and nothing bad happens, you extinguish some of the risk," Zuckerman said.
Much like mountain climbers, sensation seekers plan and consider the risks. But they make mistakes or don't anticipate factors. For mountain climbers, this could be a misstep. For Weiner, it's an error in sending a tweet, intended to be private, into the public sphere.
Taking a suggestive photo of one's body parts and sending them to admirers hints at two traits: exhibitionism and narcissism, Zuckerman said.
While it's impossible to know what drove Weiner's conduct, he said most exhibitionists are men.
They display their bodies with no serious intention of following up with sexual acts but want to excite others. And that follows the sensation seeking.
"One feels one's body is so beautiful, it excites people," Zuckerman said. "It excites them to excite or to think it excites other people."
It's impossible to know what exactly sparked the congressman to send private photos of himself.
Want to keep it private? Don't tweet it
His behavior indicates a lack of understanding how easily their behavior can be uncovered, said James Cordova, associate professor in psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
"People are really not understanding how public these forums for communicating with each other are," he said. "This is just another one of those examples, it becomes obvious and inescapably clear that they are public in ways people don't often recognize."
Cordova, who studies couples issues through the Marriage Checkup, said it's complex whether Weiner's cyberactivities qualified as adultery.
Cordova works with couples dealing with the ambiguity of online flirtations from chat rooms, e-mails, Twitter and Facebook exchanges.
"There's something about the computer that enters into a private space," he said. "We think it's more private than it actually is, until it becomes clear that it's not at all private."
What hurts a marriage or a relationship is the "hidden nature" of the person's behavior.
"It's the hiding, it's the lying," Cordova said. "In an intimate relationship, the foundation rests on the freely given trust in each other."
The hiding of an activity or a behavior is what shatters the trust.
"It's about the deceiving the partner," Cordova said. "If this behavior and activity is openly acknowledged in the relationship and the trust isn't violated, then that's different."

January 21, 2006
The Hood River City Council has decided that it cannot afford to give Bob Francis, its top staffer, a 15 percent or higher pay increase.
However, the elected body plans to readdress the issue once they are armed with more financial facts.
The council convened at City Hall on Tuesday evening to determine if Francis should earn more than two later hires. Threaded through their discussion was concern about granting him a large raise when the city has a $1.17 million budget deficit.
Last year Francis was held by economic constraints to the same 2.5 percent cost of living adjustment given to other employees.
"I don't think compensation is a fiscally sound decision because of the budget situation the city is in right now," said Councilor Martin Campos-Davis.
"Giving him a big lump-sum right now could create a lot of ripples," said Councilor Paul Cummings.
Conversely, Mayor Linda Rouches favored at least some immediate monetary gain for Francis because of his good annual evaluation. His overall performance earned a rating of slightly more than three on a scale of one to five. Campos-Davis, Cummings and Councilor Carrie Nelson questioned his fiscal responsibility because of the growing budget problems.
"I guess what I want to make clear is that Bob's doing a good job and we don't want to lose him," said Councilor Ann Frodel, who also wanted to provide him with a pay raise in the near future.
The council decided to not take any action on Francis' $69,684 annual salary at the present time. They wanted to hold off on any new financial commitment until they saw his working plan in February to overcome the shortfall.
He agreed at the Jan. 17 meeting that it was probably not the right time for the city to grant him a wage increase.
However, he reminded the council that he had inherited a budget that was already $397,000 in the red when he took the job in 2004. Francis also claimed not to have found any documentation of the plan that reportedly reduced the deficit from $657,000 in 2002.
"If you really look at it (financial records) you'll see it's like a shell game, it's kind of like moving things around," he said.
Each year the city budget is independently reviewed by Terry Smith of the local firm Arens and Associates. In addition, a copy of the budget is forwarded to Secretary of State Bill Bradbury's office and to federal authorities who oversee the city's low-interest loans.
"It's unfortunate that Bob inherited the budget deficit because he's climbing out of the hole that he didn't get us into in the first place," Frodel said.
However, Francis' remark drew a sharp retort from Cummings, the former mayor. He said there had been no need for a large volume of paperwork in the budget reduction strategy. The plan, he said, had just been to lower operating costs as much as possible.
"The basic plan was very simple, over a three year period we were going to unfund at least $200,000 (in expenses) until we were in the black," he said.
Cummings said that plan had somehow "taken a wrong turn" since the deficit had grown by more than $800,000 since 2004.
The council also decided to hold off on a raise for Francis until a new evaluation process was in place to review his job with "measurable" performance milestones. Rouches, Campos-Davis and Cummings offered to form a committee and tackle that task within the next three months.
"I really am an advocate of having clear expectations and measurable goals," said Campos-Davis after laying out the framework to improve the process.
Although Francis had earned a fully satisfactory appraisal on his recent second anniversary evaluation, Campos-Davis and other officials believed the criteria used in that process was too vague. They also felt that the city manager's performance should be looked at twice a year instead of just annually.
"It shouldn't be a surprise at the end of the year what kind of a rating we're going to come out with. That should be known," said Campos-Davis.
He outlined how the criteria could be fine-tuned based on his experience from 11 years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force and as the current Washington State Employment Security Department supervisor for Klickitat County.
Campos-Davis felt that it was only fair for Francis to have a clear understanding of what the council expected from him and, if fiscally feasible, the opportunity to earn a bonus by meeting or exceeding those expectations.
A pivotal part of the Jan. 17 discussion was that two department heads hired last year by Francis drew a higher annual salary. Police Chief Bruce Ludwig is paid $70,000 and City Engineer Dave Bick $82,000 — a situation some council members felt was inequitable.
However, Councilors Paul Blackburn and Laurent Picard said it was not "atypical" of some employees to make more than a supervisor.
Picard felt the city needed to ensure that Francis earned as much as his peers in same-sized cities throughout the state. Blackburn was opposed to any changes in Francis' salary structure because of the "terrible and worsening situation" the city finances were in.
"I could certainly make the argument that the most important thing the city manager can do is run in the black," he said.
Nelson suggested that perhaps a raise for Francis could be done incrementally as the budget showed signs of improvement. Campos-Davis said all aspects of the top job needed to be scrutinized before any decision was made.
"I think this committee really has a lot of work to do. We're going to disagree, we're going to butt heads, but that's just the process we have to go through," he said.

I understand that Koine Greek is mostly known for Biblical studies. But how far back was it spoken? And how far forward was it used before being changed dramatically?
Would learning Koine Greek from a book like "Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek" be helpful in reading Hellenistic texts? What about Byzantine/Medieval Greek texts?

One Person's Bric-a-brac Is Another Person's Treasure
Some of them were just old, but some of them were old and interesting. Actually, that's not quite correct - they were all old and interesting to me, but I suspect that I might be in a minority on that.

I'd pay a few bob for them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Perhaps unsurprisingly, you were one of the first people I thought of when I saw those HardysDelete
Some real treasures there but, from the photos and your description, not stored under ideal conditions. It might be worth your while making the pub an offer for some of the rarer ones, and then displaying them properly in your shop. Alternatively you could recoup some of the cost by holding a few comparative tasting evenings.ReplyDelete
Back in my youth I collected bottled beers, but 20 years or so ago space considerations, plus pressure from my SO persuaded me to get rid of them. I gave them to a fellow collector, who later moved away, so heaven knows where they are now?
I wasn't that upset to see them go, and I think it does one good to let go of such things.Replies
Funnily enough, I thought the opposite - that I had a few bottles that would brighten the collection up a bit. As you surmise, not stored very well, although if they were mine, I'd have drunk them by nowDelete
it reminds me of the time I saw a massive magnum of Samichlaus in a West Country pub just standing there, getting warm and oxidised. I could have wept.ReplyDeleteReplies
And it's hardly the most elegant of beers to start with......Delete
They're all history in a bottle. Each bottle contains a multitude of back-stories placing them in time. Those stories include everything from farming, malting and brewing to branding, bottle manufacturing and labelling, to distribution, sales and why that particular bottle was kept and the beer never consumed.ReplyDelete
Yeah History Channel, all that socio-agro-industrial-economic history, it's all there in those bottles...
sometimes you can be surprised at how well these beers keep even when kept in poor conditions. Had a 35 year old Eldridge Pope Thomas Hardy variant a couple of years back that apparently had been kept on a windowsill for several years. It was wonderful.ReplyDelete

I've been collecting vintage bottles for quite a few years now. I love the story and history behind each and every one I acquire. Some I keep and simply adore and others I eventually open and share with friends. We opened a quart of Commonwealth Ale by Ind Coope and Allsopp a couple weeks ago for a friend's 60th birthday. It was brewed for the Coronation of QE2 in 53'. It also happened to be the same year as his conception. It was a great experience for all!ReplyDelete
Make sure you have a bottle of lime cordial to hand if you open these up. If they are a bit past it, you can neck owt with lime cordial.ReplyDelete

Residents in Grand Island are about to benefit from a national backpack giveaway campaign.
The Cellular Connection, the largest Verizon Premium Wireless retailer in the U.S., in a joint effort with its customers, has announced that it will donate 100,000 backpacks full of school supplies to children through its School Rocks Backpack Giveaway. Last year, the company donated 60,000 backpacks.
More than 350 participating TCC stores across the U.S. are inviting local families to bring their children to the store between noon and 2 p.m. on Aug. 2 to pick up a backpack filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box, folders, glue and more. One backpack per child present will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. The participating store in Grand Island is located at 2162 Grand Island Blvd. Each participating TCC store will donate between 75 and 300 backpacks. All leftover backpacks will be donated to local schools.
"The backpack giveaway is a huge part of TCC's 'Culture of Good' movement that's all about making a positive impact on employees while benefitting the world," said Scott Moorehead, president and CEO of TCC. "It's how our company gives back to every community where we do business, and it involves every employee at every level. We're honored to have the ability to give back to those who need it."
Grand Island residents have also joined the cause. Since the beginning of March, TCC customers have been given the option to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar with the difference going directly toward the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway.
In 2013, the National Retail Federation predicted the average person with children in grades K-12 would spend $86 on school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks.
More information about the School Rocks Backpack Giveaway initiative is available on YouTube.

Family Guy follows the adventures of endearingly ignorant dad Peter Griffin and his hilariously odd family of middle-class New Englanders – wife Lois, daughter Meg, son Chris, baby Stewie and dog Brian – in Quahog, Rhode Island.
Family Guy is one of the most-watched and influential shows of the last decade, reaching over 33.5 million viewers weekly in the U.S., and is the number one TV show on Facebook with more than 40 million 'likes'. In the U.S., the series is the number one TV franchise on DVD with more than 25 million copies sold. The new console game from Fox and Activision intends to tap into the core components of the Family Guy spirit.

Jude Law: 'Anna Karenina' is Extraordinary'!
Jude Law suits up as he continues to film his upcoming movie Dom Hemingway on Wednesday (November 14) in London, England.
The 39-year-old actor recently talked to Moviefone at the Toronto Film Festival about his new film Anna Karenina and director Joe Wright's take on the novel.
"The book is extraordinary, a masterpiece really," Jude expressed. "When I think about [Leo Tolstoy] writing this, I wonder if he knew, all these years later, how many versions would be made, and if he realized it would be inspiring such passionate translations. Adapting something is always a process by which it's being reconfigured and filtered anyway, but I was so inspired by Joe's choice to take it into this new realm, to push the language of film a little bit. He hopped back to another style of cinema that we've seen handled by the greats, but he's also adding a modern voice of his own."

Eight Oregon State Troopers from The Dalles headquarters were told not to show up for work today — the first reality from Tuesday's defeat of Measure 28.
Cuts are also looming in the budgets of local human resource agencies, schools and courts that have officials scrambling to figure out which programs will be reduced and which will be eliminated altogether.
State Police Sgt. Julie Wilcox said not only is the state losing 129 patrol troopers, the crime lab is also facing a 60 percent reduction in its workforce that will delay the processing of evidence for all other law enforcement agencies.
The three-year income tax surcharge, expected to generate $310 million, was rejected by 56 percent of the voters statewide, with 44 percent giving approval. In Hood River County about 65 percent of the special election ballots were returned, with 53 percent of voters vetoing the added tax and 47 percent in favor.
"People are still kind of reeling from things and trying to get their sea legs back. I know I am," said Gwen Gardner, business manager for Hood River County School District, which must cut $853,000. About half of that, or $428,000 would be realized in cutting four school days. The district would also empty the remaining $250,000 in its land acquisition fund, leaving $175,000. Textbooks and supplies and other cutbacks will need to be made to make up the remaining amount, according to Gwen Gardner, district business manager. She said the district is "hopeful" it will not have to cut any more jobs. She said specific recommended cuts will be presented to the school board in its next regular meeting, Feb. 12 at Hood River Valley High School. In the case of State Police, the impact is known right away.
"Protection of the people is the first and foremost responsibility of government and these cuts to a vital service affect the quality of people's lives — and possibly even their life itself," Wilcox said.
For example, Wilcox said the layoff of OSP officers will make it more difficult for backup units to arrive at problem scenes since patrols will be spread over an expanded area. In addition, she said the lead state law enforcement agency expects a 50 percent reduction in its arrest rate. In 2002, troopers from The Dalles office made 475 general arrests, 186 from traffic violations, and 217 from DUII, reckless driving and other road crimes.
Wilcox said her agency is hopeful that Sen. Rick Metsger, D-Welches, will prevail in his plan to stabilize OSP funding by adding a 3.1 percent surcharge to all auto insurance policies. If enacted, the cost for the average policy holder will increase by $1.83 per month and free up $74.4 million from the biennium general fund.
Two Hood River agencies also hard-hit by the demise of Measure 28 are seeking to calm the fears of clients and family members until the total funding fallout is known. The Columbia Gorge Center, which helps about 100 developmentally disabled individuals with independent work and living skills, is slated to lose $400,000. Lay off notices have been sent to 12 staffers — and that number could climb to 48 by the beginning of March.
But Patti Elkins, CGC director, said in spite of the dire financial straits facing local service agencies, she is proud of the networking that has taken place in recent months to prepare for this worst case scenario.
"We were able to develop partnerships with other service agencies that will help us all in the future," she said.
One of those partner agencies is the Mid-Columbia Center for Living, which is forced to absorb an immediate budget reduction of $529,000 this fiscal year and $1.3 million next year. That will force some programs to be dropped, including the 24-hour community crisis services for people suffering acute psychiatric or addiction disorders and family support services for persons with developmental disabilities. Non-Medicaid clients and those covered under the Oregon Health Plan standard package will also no longer be able to obtain some mental health and treatment services. Sharon Guidera, MCCFL executive director, said client care will be prioritized based on clinical need and urgency of care.
"MCCFL is in the process of redesigning the service system to adjust to the reductions in funding," said Guidera. "We will continue to offer screening and referral services to all residents, however, due to funding restrictions, we will not be able to offer a full continuum of services to persons who are not covered and cannot pay."
The Hood River County Commission on Children and Families lost an additional $6,000 as a direct result of Measure 28, which was added to about $100,000 already lost in the recent economic downturn. HRCCCF Director Joella Dethman said most prevention, parenting and at-risk youth counseling programs will no longer be available for families who do not qualify for state aid and are unable to pay on their own.
"It is especially important for families to have help during bad economic times that bring more stresses," said Dethman.
The Hood River Circuit Court will be closed on Fridays from March 1 through June 30 to reduce staff payroll costs by 10 percent. In addition, the prosecution of many drug and non-person crimes will be deferred during that same period since the Seventh Judicial District fund used to hire court-appointed attorneys is facing a $104,846 cut.
"For four months, the people's portion of the court will largely be gutted," said Seventh Judicial District Judge Paul Crowley. "After justice has regained all of its wheels, it will take many months to get the train back on track."

Optical Fan
If the geometry is right we can create an optical fan; rotate things just with a trap like we have. Here is the proof. File:Optical Fan.avi And it seems like the torque is focal plan dependent. As the focal plane is changed in the z direction the torque is different. And also when the focal plane is moved across the fan axis the direction of the fan is changed from CCW to CW or W/V.
Today Ant found a huge bead in the sample. Trap worked like a vacuum sucker| ;->| on this bead. (Movie will take some time to load)
The trap is so strong that even a violent movement does not break.
A new installation for ND-filter is also in place.

Blocked Tear Ducts: Intubation
Topic Overview
Blocked tear ducts are sometimes cleared using a procedure called intubation. During intubation, two small wire probes attached to silicone tubes are passed into the upper and lower tear duct openings (puncta) and down the tear duct drainage system into the nasal cavity. The wires are removed and the tubes are tied or sewn in place to keep the tear ducts open. Intubation is usually done as part of a probing procedure in the hospital using general anesthesia. Most people go home the same day.
From 3 to 16 weeks after surgery, the person returns to the doctor's office, and the tubes are removed. Anesthesia is usually not needed when the tubes are taken out.
Some doctors leave the tubes in place for 6 months to a year. This causes a new lining to form around the tubes, leaving an open channel in the tear duct when the tubes are removed.
Intubation leaves no facial scars. And it has less risk of complications than dacryocystorhinostomy, a procedure that creates a new tear duct canal. Intubation is sometimes used when a person:
- Has a partial blockage of a tear duct.
- Has had one or more failed probing attempts and who still has symptoms of a blocked tear duct.
- Wants to avoid the surgical incision (on the face) that results from dacryocystorhinostomy.
- Has had dacryocystorhinostomy surgery, and the tear duct has become blocked again.
Risks of intubation include the following:
- The tube may loosen and move out of place.
- The hole in the corner of the eyelid through which tears drain (punctum) may be damaged.
- The lining of the eyelids (conjunctiva) may become irritated.
- The person may feel discomfort inside his or her nose.
It is common to have a watery eye after surgery. Tears cannot drain as well through the affected tear duct while the very small tubes from the intubation are still in place.

8:34 p.m. | Updated
FRANKFURT — Deutsche Bank on Wednesday revised its 2012 profit sharply downward as it set aside more money to cover the potential cost of legal proceedings.
Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest lender, allocated an additional 600 million euros ($775 million) to cover its legal costs, a move that reduced its pretax profit for 2012 by the same amount. As a result, net profit for the year was 291 million euros ($376 million), about 400 million euros ($517 million) less than the bank reported on Jan. 31.
Like many big European institutions, Deutsche Bank faces a long list of legal woes.
It is dealing with numerous lawsuits related to its sales of mortgages and mortgage-related derivatives in the United States before the financial crisis. Ronald Weichert, a Deutsche Bank spokesman, cited those suits as the main reason for setting aside more money for legal expenses.
The bank, based in Frankfurt, has also been ensnared by the global investigation into rate manipulation. In November, Deutsche Bank said it had set aside money for potential penalties related to rate rigging. Now, it appears the bank is increasing the buffer, partially in response to a string of recent settlements involving other banks.
In February, Royal Bank of Scotland agreed to pay American and British regulators $612 million to settle claims that it manipulated the London interbank offered rate, or Libor. Last year, the Swiss bank UBS agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement and Barclays agreed to pay $450 million in that case. The banks are also expected to face civil suits from people who paid more interest than they should have because of Libor manipulation.
In total, Deutsche Bank has set aside 2.4 billion euros ($3.1 billion) to cover possible judgments and other litigation costs. The legal expenses, the bank said, would not affect the dividend of 75 euro cents (97 cents) a share, which was announced in January.
Deutsche Bank was one of the few large German banks to avoid taking a direct government bailout during the financial crisis and it is the only German bank able to compete with large American and British investment banks.
The bank's co-chief executives, Anshu Jain and Jürgen Fitschen, have cut back on bonuses and taken other steps they say will discourage excessive risk-taking and unethical or illegal behavior in the future.

Being ahead of the curve is why Custom Window Systems, Inc. of Ocala made its one millionth window last week.
Being ahead of the curve is why Custom Window Systems Inc. of Ocala made its one millionth window last week.
And being good at what it does is why not one of those windows reported any impact failure in the company's 27-year history.
"When the company moved to the 250,000 square-foot plant, that was when we started focusing on vinyl, impact-resistance windows for hurricanes," said Rod Miller, Custom Window's vice president of sales and marketing.
That was in early 2005, six months after hurricanes Charley and Frances — the second- and third-most costly hurricanes in United States history at the time — hit Florida.
Prior to that Custom Window Systems was making its windows with aluminum, and they were non-impact (non-hurricane) windows.
"The large number of hurricanes that followed in 2005 (Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita and Wilma) confirmed our shift to vinyl," said Miller. "The switch also occurred because the vinyl frame material is much more energy-efficient."
Before the enormous plant, before the transition to vinyl, before the increased hurricane activity, Custom Windows was a small company started by John Cwik.
"The company started out making windows for porch enclosures, and it evolved over the years," Miller said. "There were a little over 50 people in the first couple of years of the company."
When the 44th Avenue plant opened there were 100 employees. Today there are 300, and Custom Windows needs to add 50 more to handle the company's growth.
Cwik sold the company last December.
Even when the housing market tanked in Florida, Miller said Custom Window Systems survived because of its forward thinking.
"Product development is the reason for our success and growth," Miller said. "There are always new products; we kept innovating."
Today the company's new products include a new line of French doors as well as high-design vinyl, impact-resistant products.
Window dealers and distributors are the company's primary customers. They in turn are seeing homeowners who are remodeling or replacing windows.
"We are almost to the point that we can't handle the growth," Miller said. "That is why we are hiring 50 new people."
It is a good problem to have.

Redeemer University Professor of English Dr. Deborah Bowen will visit Geneva College on March 14-15. Her appearances are through the Association of Reformed Colleges and Universities (ARCU) Lectureship, which serves to provide models of scholarship that reflect the character of Reformed Christian institutions.
Dr. Bowen′s first lecture will be at John White Chapel in Old Main at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 14, where she will present "The Good Society: Why Bother with the Humanities in a Time of Crisis?" During this talk, Dr. Bowen will discuss how literature of the past can inform our response to present social issues.
She says, "In a culture of instant gratification and instant communication, we and our students need help to recognize that beyond the daily pressures of our lives, there is a world in other parts of the globe and in the past of our own and other civilizations that is real, interesting, and relevant to our living."
Her second lecture, "What′s the Use of Stories that Aren′t Even True?" will be in John White Chapel at 10:10 a.m. on Friday, March 15. She will discuss narrative and the Christian reader by examining Salman Rushdie′s fable, Haroun and the Sea of Stories. Although prior knowledge of the story is not required to enjoy the presentation, Dr. Bowen encourages participants to read the tale if possible.
"Stories give us environments to explore, engage and stretch our imaginations, reflect our lives back to us, help us compose our own narrative identities and encourage us to see from other people′s points of view," she says."At the same time, any tendency to treat literature as salvific turns the imagination into an idol. But the Christian grand narrative anticipates that its hearers will move from what Ricoeur calls âliving the story in the imaginary mode′ to living it in real life and in the power of the Holy Spirit."
Among Dr. Bowen′s published works are her latest book, Stories of the Middle Space: Reading the Ethics of Postmodern Realisms, and a 2007 book on Christianity′s postmodern influence that she edited, The Strategic Smorgasbord of Postmodernity: Literature and the Christian Critic. She has also published 60 academic papers in the U.K., Belgium, the U.S. and Canada.
She teaches courses in British Novel, Literature and the Environment, Victorian Literature, Modern British Literature, Contemporary Fiction, Postcolonial Literature, Contemporary Literary Theory, and Contemporary Canadian Poetry.
The ARCU is an association of institutions in the Reformed and Presbyterian Christian tradition, which seek to develop and refine the identity, worldview and educational practices grounded in that tradition. ARCU Lecturers are established scholars whose work is a model of the type of scholarship that is distinctive at these colleges.
Dr. Bowen is being hosted by the Geneva Visiting Artist and Lecture Series (GVALS). Her appearances are free and open to the public.
Geneva College invites students to accept the challenge of an academically excellent, Christ-centered education. Offering nearly 40 undergraduate majors, an Adult Degree Completion Program with fully online and campus-based options, and seven graduate degrees, Geneva has programs that place students at the forefront of higher learning. Adhering to the inerrancy of scripture, the liberal arts core curriculum fosters a breadth of knowledge through the study of humanities, social and natural sciences, and experiential learning.

These delicious chicken casserole recipes are going to be new family favorites, if they aren't already!
Any Southern cook most likely has an arsenal of chicken casserole recipes, not to mention a collection of 9x13 baking dishes. (And those dishes travel as we bake-and-take comfort food to friends and neighbors, so we tend to put our names on the bottom, either with masking tape or nail polish.) Chicken casseroles are a staple at family reunions and fellowship halls. But these one-dish wonders are also convenient for busy weeknights because they're affordable, and most all of them can be at least partially prepped ahead of time to help you get supper on the table in a snap. Our favorite chicken casseroles are layered with rich flavors: from Classic Chicken Tetrazzini to Tex-Mex favorites like Chicken Enchilada Casserole and King Ranch Chicken; from down-home Double-Crust Chicken Pot Pie to a "company's coming" Chicken-and-Wild-Rice Skillet Casserole. Just add dinner rolls and a simple salad.

I had so much "fun" with viewstate last weekend.
I'm developing a site that has a master page Master.aspx and a few child pages (Page1.aspx, ..., pageN.aspx).
Now when rendering HTML that is displayed an ASP.NE rendering engine first reads the child page
then takes the master page and incorporates it's contorls into the child page control hierarchy so the
child page actually becomes the overall master. A master page is treated as a user control, after all it
is derived from UserControl class. All this happens on the pre Init part of the Page creation.
So now comes in the viewstate. I won't...

DMV's are one of the most usefull features in SQL Server 2005.
There are 2 that I like more than others because they can give you information about
executed SQL statements without the use of SQL Profiler tool.
Of course they aren't a substitute for SQL profiler but rather an another tool you can use
in situations when you can't run SQL Profiler.
Those 2 DMV's are:
- sys.dm_exec_query_stats
- sys.dm_exec_sql_text
They provide much info about executed statements but i used them in this procedure for searching through
executed sql statemnts.
Since dm_exec_query_stats is based on cached query plans the row in it lasts until the plan is...

I had some fun this weekend with ASP.Net 2.0 Master pages and submit buttons when pressing Enter key. The catch here is that with the introduction of Master pages there's only one form per page which is specified in the master page.
UI simplicity for users has been pressing the Enter key when they wanted to submit the form data.
In older versions of ASP(.Net) you could put any number of forms on the page. The only rule was that they couldn't be nested. When you were in a form and you pressed Enter the browser used the submit button of that form...

Lady Gaga + Britney Spears Exchange Cute Tweets Over Thermos
A thermos was all it took to bring Lady Gaga and Britney Spears together on Twitter yesterday (April 18.)
The ladies — last sceen on stage at the 2011 MTV VMAs (with Gaga's male alter ego the Ralph Macchio lookalike known as Jo Calderone) – communicated via 140 characters. Gaga told her 23 million followers that she was packing for her upcoming Born This Way Ball world tour and an essential item she needed to bring was her Britney Spears thermos.
Gaga tweeted: "ah yes! May also need to pack my Britney thermos (yes I have one) "@SkeletalHooker: Dont forget your mobile fog machine. Just incase y'know."
She then posted a photo of the actual thermos, a sex kitten shot of Brit, with a halo of golden locks and a come hither stare.
Below is Gaga's tweet of the thermos. She also included huge words of praise for Brit, saying she was as sweet as she imagined the singer to be.
Real fans never turn their back on you #WillAlwaysLoveBritney Some stars really are as sweet as you thought they were twitter.com/ladygaga/statu…
— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) April 18, 2012
Brit saw the tweets and replied: "Wonder what @LadyGaga keeps in that thermos??? Cant WAIT to see you on tour. MISS YOU!!!" Aw, how cute, right?
Little monsters and Britaholics no doubt loved this exchange between the pop stars. Let's hope they keep tweeting and chatting and plant the seeds of a collab.

Laughable outrage: NH Dem, GOP attacks backfire
December 21. 2013 7:41PM
Politics these days is all outrage all the time. And sometimes that backfires in humorous ways.
Last week the U.S. Senate approved a federal budget, the first one in years. Sen. Kelly Ayotte voted against the deal. She cited a provision that would reduce pensions for working-age military retirees. Service members can retire after 20 years.
The bill would trim by 1 percent the pension cost of living increases of those who retire before age 62. The change is estimated to save $6 billion over a decade.
Ayotte announced that she would vote against the budget because of that provision, and naturally the New Hampshire Democratic Party immediately pounced. On Tuesday state Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley mocked Ayotte for opposing the pension cut and called her opposition to it "desperate and pathetic."
He should have waited. Four hours and 23 minutes after that press release went out, Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced that she had introduced the Military Retirement Restoration Act to undo the pension pay cut. The next day, Shaheen sounded like Ayotte, saying, "There are plenty of other ways that we can find budgetary savings rather than cutting retirement benefits for the men and women who have served our nation in uniform."
Also on Wednesday, Democratic Reps. Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter announced that they would help introduce Shaheen's bill in the House to undo the pension cuts all three of them voted for, and which their own state party chairman had mocked Ayotte for opposing.
Republicans should not laugh too hard; the New Hampshire Republican Party stepped in it too. Friday a week ago, just after the House vote on the budget, the state GOP issued a statement that read: "Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster have turned their backs on America's bravest, voting to cut military benefits rather than have the spine to cut bloated federal spending."
But Republican U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, and 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan all supported the same cuts and the same budget bill that Shea-Porter and Kuster did. Does the New Hampshire Republican Party think its own U.S. House Speaker and two of the people it wanted to send to the White House have also "turned their backs on America's bravest?"
Cranking out misleading, exclamation-filled press releases denouncing the other party's moral degeneracy is how New Hampshire's two major political parties think they should engage the public these days. Is it any wonder that more and more Granite Staters are registering as independents, tuning out politics and detaching themselves from the civic life of the state?
