Over the past two quarters, we have reported on claims filed in federal court by plaintiff shareholders seeking to recover "short-swing profits" from Section 16 officers by matching an allegedly discretionary (non-exempt) withholding of equity award shares from a Section 16 officer that occurred within six months of an acquisition (such as a purchase) of shares by such officer that was non-exempt under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Although in each case the withholding of shares was authorized by the issuer's board or compensation committee-approved award agreement and therefore should be exempt from Section 16(b) under Rule 16b-3(e), the shareholder has argued that a share withholding transaction is so exempt only if the authorized withholding occurs automatically in accordance with the Board or Compensation Committee approval and without any ability on the part of the Section 16 officer or the company to determine that an alternative method may be used to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
In what appears to be the first ruling on the issue, on April 26 2017, the US district court for the Southern District of Texas dismissed the shareholder's claim in its entirety. See J.D. Jordan v. Robert Flexton, et al., No. 4:16-CV-03316 (S.D. Tex. filed November 9, 2016). In this case, the plaintiff shareholder's claim centered around share withholding transactions that occurred pursuant to the terms of a compensation committee-approved RSU agreement that required the defendant Section 16 officers to satisfy their tax withholding obligations by delivering cash to the company, but if they failed to do so, the company was authorized to either withhold from cash or stock otherwise payable to the officers, including shares deliverable under the RSU.
The plaintiff claimed that the withholding in shares was non-exempt both because (i) the officers had discretion to pay their taxes in either cash or in shares, which demonstrated their ability to take advantage of their inside information, and (ii) the company had discretion as to whether to withhold in shares or from cash compensation - which the plaintiff asserted would mean that the withholding was not "automatic" as required by the SEC in Compensation and Disclosure Interpretation 123.16 relating to Rule 16b-3, issued in 2007.
In dismissing the plaintiff's claim, the court stated simply that "the transactions in question are compensation related and are designed to be exempt under Section 16b-3(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934." Although the court did not provide further analysis of the basis for its decision, it has clearly rejected the arguments on which these plaintiff shareholder claims are based and it is to be hoped that it will be persuasive for the courts considering the other pending cases.
Until such other cases are decided, it remains advisable to limit the use of discretion around share withholding in equity award agreements with Section 16 officers, particularly discretion on the part of the company in view of the existing SEC guidance on this point.
SEC Amends Settlement Cycle Rule from T+3 to T+2
Stepping into line with the EU and much of the Asia/Pacific, effective September 5, 2017, broker-dealers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico will be required to settle most securities transactions, including those under equity compensation plans, within two business days after the trade date ("T+2"), a shortening of the current settlement cycle of T+3. The effectiveness of the change to the settlement rule is subject to regulatory support and completion of industry-wide testing in the second and third quarters of 2017. In adopting the amended Settlement Cycle Rule on March 22, 2017 (Rule 15c6-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), the SEC stated that the amendment is designed to increase efficiency and reduce risk for market participants.
The shortened settlement cycle will have an immediate effect on equity plan transactions that involve a sale on the market, including "same-day-sale" and "sell-to-cover" option exercises (or "cashless" exercises). Companies need to be prepared to administer these transactions in one day less, including calculating the amount of withholding taxes and delivering shares to the broker in time to enable the broker to deliver the net shares or cash proceeds to the participant by the second business day after the exercise date.
For US plan participants, where withholding will typically be done using the flat supplemental withholding rate, the reduced settlement period may not cause a significant administrative burden. However, bear in mind the IRS's next day deposit rule, which requires the deposit of employment taxes with the IRS within one business day when an employer accumulates $100,000 or more of employment taxes at any one point. The IRS issued a Field Directive in 2003 which considers timely a deposit of taxes relating to a broker-assisted cashless option exercise if the deposit is made within one day of the settlement of the transaction, i.e., by T+4 under the existing Settlement Cycle Rule.
Although the IRS has not yet issued any guidance on the rule change, with the implementation of the new T+2 settlement rule, the next day deposit rule will likely mean a corresponding reduction of the deposit deadline for taxes relating to such exercises to T+3 (assuming $100,000 of accumulated employment taxes).
Companies with a large number of non-US equity plan participants or mobile participants who have worked in several countries and/or states during the life of the award may face additional challenges in implementing the shortened settlement period, given the potential difficulty with quickly calculating withholding taxes when non-US and/or multi-jurisdictional tax rules and rates have to be considered.
To facilitate compliance, it may be worth moving to maximum rate or other single flat rate withholding per non-US jurisdiction; many companies already do this or are considering it, particularly with the effectiveness of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, allowing for withholding in shares at maximum rates without triggering liability accounting. Also, now is the time to engage with any tax advisors assisting with mobile employees to confirm they can deliver their calculations of taxes due on multi-jurisdictional transactions within 24 hours of a transaction. Finally, plan prospectuses or other employee communications that discuss the settlement period for market transactions should be reviewed and updated to reflect the new rule.
House of Representatives Passes Increase to the Dollar Threshold for Additional Disclosure Under Rule 701
The House of Representatives recently passed the Encouraging Employee Ownership Act of 2017. If enacted, this legislation would increase the value of securities a company that is not subject to US public reporting requirements could provide to its employees and other service providers pursuant to a compensatory benefit plan without having to provide additional disclosure, including financial information, to award recipients.
Many companies that are not subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as US private companies and non-US public and private companies that are not publicly traded in the US, rely on Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933 when offering equity awards to employees under a compensatory benefit plan (or arrangement). Although the 701 exemption is self-executing, it has several requirements, including that the following information must be provided to award recipients if the aggregate value of securities "sold" in reliance on Rule 701 during any consecutive 12-month period exceeds $5 million:
- A summary of the material terms of the plan;
- Information about the risks of investing in the securities sold pursuant to the plan; and
- Certain financial statements, prepared in compliance with U.S. GAAP (or prepared in compliance with IFRS in the case of foreign private issuers) or reconciled to U.S. GAAP, including a current balance sheet and statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the two fiscal years preceding the date of the balance sheet and for any interim period.
The financial statements must be prepared no more than 180 days before the offering or sale of securities, which may be burdensome for companies that prepare these materials less frequently or that are sensitive about providing the company's financial information. Due to these disclosure obligations, private companies often seek alternative exemptions to Rule 701 or scale back their offerings if they anticipate having offerings greater than $5 million in a 12-month period.
The Encouraging Employee Ownership Act of 2017 would raise the 12-month sales limit from $5 million to $10 million (indexed for inflation), with those in favor saying that it is meant to encourage small business growth. The House of Representatives passed the bill with bipartisan support with a final vote of 331 yeas and 87 nays. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate.

As you might have read yesterday, I was not feeling like doing anything. Hiding felt like the best option. I went to CBT, and I'm glad I did. But still, when it got to the evening, I really didn't want to go out.
It was raining, and people were dropping out left, right and centre, but I didn't want to let my friend (Pres) down. Other people told me "If you don't want to go just don't go", and that kind of makes sense. But I'd feel really bad – I had told Pres I was going, and helped her organise it, I couldn't just not go! So I went.
On the way there I was thinking: Why are people so selfish? Why do people think it's ok to let people down? Why don't people seem to have any loyalty? And then I thought: Am I just too nice? Should I only do the things I want to do and screw other people's feelings?
And then I thought: No, because that wouldn't be me.
(A lot of thinking went on in this 10 minute walk!)
But I came to the realisation that maybe I am "too nice", and that means that sometimes I do things I don't really want to do but I do it for other people. And sometimes it means that people take advantage of me, and I can get hurt easily (because it turns out that most people don't do what I do.) BUT that's just who I am. I care (sometimes too much) about other people, and I am very loyal. If I say I am going to do something, I will do it (unless there is a very good reason!) And even though I'm not "popular", I have friends and sometimes people appreciate the fact that I'm always there. I remembered my birthday, which was in the middle of exams season… and so many people came. I was pretty surprised actually because I always think that people don't care or notice me as much as I care for them, but people came to celebrate my birthday with me and it was great.
So, what I am saying here is that I have realised that it's ok to be nice. And it's ok to be me.
I realise this post may sound a bit strange. I am saying that I am a nice person, that might come across as arrogant or self-centred, but that's not the way I mean it. I have always seen my caringness and willingness to help other people as a negative thing – and they do always say "being nice never gets you anywhere", but I'm realising that's not true. And so for once, I am going to be content to be me.
So what do you think? Is it good or bad to be "nice"? Is it good or bad to do things for other people? Is it possible to be too nice? I can see it from both perspectives now, but I can't change such a central part of my personality, I just wouldn't be me anymore.
And just as an end note, for my next post I am planning to compile a list of positive quotes, phrases and mantras, if anyone has any they want to add, feel free to comment (or email: firstname.lastname@example.com) and I will of course give credit to the right people 🙂
Lots of love,
P.S. I forgot to mention – I actually had quite a good night in the end. There weren't that many of us (about 10 when we expected around 30!) but it was nice to chat and dance together. In the club I got a bit panicky at some points – sometimes the loud music, the lights, the people and the smoke get too much. But I went outside for a few minutes and took some deep breaths. I even used a bit of mindfulness, focusing on the present moment. I said to myself – I am here, I am safe, nothing bad is going to happen. And it actually worked! – A would be proud! So even though I didn't feel like going out at all, it was actually alright.

FIFA may replace Confederations Cup with new club competition
KOLKATA (Reuters) - Global soccer body FIFA could replace the Confederations Cup with a new world club competition, its president Gianni Infantino said on Friday.
Infantino also confirmed that FIFA will officially recognise as world club champions the winners of the old Intercontinental Cup dating back to 1960 - a contest that became notorious for some of the most unsavoury matches in the sport.
FIFA currently organises a Club World Cup every year, featuring the champion clubs of each continent, but it has recently suffered from European dominance with teams from other regions unable to mount a serious challenge.
The Confederations Cup is held in the year before a World Cup and features the respective national team champions of each continent.
"The current Club World Cup is a nice competition but it has not really had the impact that was hoped in development of club football around the world," Infantino told a media conference following a FIFA Council meeting.
"We have to see if we can come up with something special, something new which will help club football and confederations all around the world."
"When FIFA organises a competition, it should be something special, so either we find a special tournament or we'd rather not do it."
But Infantino stressed that it was important not to further congest the international calendar.
"One option could be to organise it instead of the Confederations Cup," he said.
The Club World Cup has been held in its current form since 2005. Before that, from 1980 to 2004, a single match was played between the champions of Europe and South America in Tokyo.
That in turn was preceded by the so-called Intercontinental Cup, which also featured European and South American champions and was played over two legs, with one match on each continent.
The fixture was marred by so much violence that, eventually, some teams refused to take part.
One of the most notorious fixtures was in 1967 when a brutal two-leg tie between Scotland's Celtic and Argentina's Racing Club went to a replay in Uruguay. Six players were sent off and became known as the 'Battle of Montevideo'.
Among the teams to benefit from Friday's decision were Italian club AC Milan, Uruguay's Penarol and Real Madrid, who all won the Intercontinental three times in the 1960-2004 period.
A Pele-inspired Santos team, Portugal's Porto and Brazil's Sao Paulo were among the clubs to win it twice. Other winners have included Argentine clubs Racing Club, Estudiantes, Velez Sarsfield and River Plate, Paraguay's Olimpia and Brazil's Flamengo.

"All-Around" Details:
There are sometimes additional fabric options offered with certain futon covers. If you see additional fabric options that mention an "all-around" option, then this futon cover is one of those.
With a less expensive complimentary fabric, you will pay less for your futon cover. The complementary material will make up the sides and back of your new futon cover and will either match or compliment the primary material that you have selected to be on the top portion of the futon cover.
The other option is referred to an all-around cut. Opting for all-around will generally add more years of life to your chosen pattern. With an all-around cut, you can flip your futon to use both sides evenly, potentially doubling the life of your cover's primary material.
Another advantage to selecting an all-around has to do with flipping your futon mattress. Flipping your mattress on a regular basis will greatly extend its lifespan. If your cover is the same on both sides, each time you flip your futon, the primary material will still be facing up. This can make the all-around cut a very convenient option.
Shipping Estimate
Estimated to ship on or the business day after: .
On average most futon covers will take about 3-5 business days in transit. A few extra days is not uncommon so you should plan accordingly.

On October 12, 1965, Patrolman Thomas R. Graham, 38, was shot and killed by Nathaniel Harris, a burglary suspect whom Officer Graham was transporting to police headquarters from a north side business where Harris had been arrested. At 6:51 p.m. Officer Graham marked out of service at police headquarters at 50 North Alabama Street. As he escorted Harris to the prisoners' elevator in the basement of headquarters, a struggle ensued and Harris gained control of the patrolman's revolver. Harris shot and fatally wounded Officer Graham.
Officer Graham was found 5 feet from the elevator at about 7:10 pm by officers who were going to the police garage in the basement. His hat was found in the elevator cage. His badge, torn from his uniform, was found in the hallway. Officer Graham's revolver was found about 5 feet from him; one bullet had been fired. A spent bullet was found about 25 feet away.
Officer Graham was taken to General Hospital where he died at about 9:40 p.m. Doctors said the bullet struck him in the right temple and came out the other side of his head.
Harris fled up a ramp leading from the police garage after the shooting. Dozens of police cars ringed the downtown area and blocked off the entrances at police headquarters and the City-County Building. All available policemen, including traffic policemen and the mobile reserve units, were pressed into the search. The Marion County Sheriff's Department supplied 100 deputies. Roadblocks were set up by Indianapolis, Lawrence, and state police and sheriff's deputies at all main roads leading from the city. Weir Cook Municipal Airport and Union Station also were watched.
Harris eluded authorities for two days. He was captured on October 14 in a near northside house after police received a tip identifying his location. Harris was arrested on a warrant charging him with murder. Initially found mentally incompetent to stand trial, Harris was convicted and received a life sentence in Marion County Criminal Court in 1969. The judge reversed his verdict in 1971, ruling that defense witnesses had been improperly excluded during a sanity hearing. A new trial was set; Harris was found guilty for the second time in 1972.
Officer Graham was a life-long resident of Indianapolis. He served in the United States Navy aboard an LST during World War II. He was the recipient of the Victory Medal, the American Area Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with three Bronze Stars and the Philippine Liberation Medal with two Bronze Stars. Officer Graham joined the Police Department on September 20, 1956. During his service with the Department, he received several commendations. He was described by co-workers as quiet and hard-working -- "the best."
Officer Graham was buried at New Crown Cemetery. His funeral cortege was escorted by motorcycle policemen who were graduates in the same police training program with him and who joined the force when he did. All personnel at police headquarters lined both sides of Alabama Street in a final tribute to Officer Graham as the procession passed.
Officer Graham was survived by his wife, Donna.

text: I'd like to get a rack for my '16 Ram 2500, I'm tired of just throwing my bike in the back. Eventually I'm going to damage the bike, it's only a matter of time. I don't want a tailgate pad, because I use my backup camera, and I don't want a hitch mount because it will cover up my plate when not in use. Ideally a low profile crossbar system that I can leave on with my tonneau cover in place. Any ideas?

It was a week of many firsts for our precious little Josiah. On Monday, we ventured out in the cold weather to surprise Uncle Caleb as he arrived back in the states after living in Indonesia for the past two years. Uncle Caleb was pretty excited and proud of his first nephew! We had a great dinner at Famous Dave's. Josiah did great until we were done eating, and then he decided it was his turn!
Our first bath:
We gave Josiah his first bath on Sunday night. It was quite the process and Josiah screamed during most of it. The best part as combing his hair - he has a natural mohawk.
On Wednesday, we are our first outing, just Mom and Josiah. We had a doctor's appointment - Josiah is doing well was almost back up to his birth weight. After the doctor's we went to mom's office to show off. Every one thought he was great! Mom was even able to run by the store. A very successful outing for our first one. We made it home just in time to eat again!
On Friday, we went to our first Christmas Party. Josiah was dressed in a cute little Christmas outfit, but managed to pee all over it right before we left (the first of many last minute wardrobe changes). We had a good time seeing friends and introducing our new little fellow. He was great - just sleeping through it all!
Tomorrow, we are hoping to make it to church for our first time as a family of 3. They weather is suppose to be bitterly cold so we will see how the night goes and what the temps are like in the morning.
More pictures to come tomorrow of proud grandparents and great-grandparents.

I love the bath-time screaming pics. Caleb looks like a pretty proud uncle! I am hoping for sleep for you guys tonight. Can't wait to chat and see how the weekend went. Emerald asked today when we would get to next see Josiah, "mommy, I miss him." Pretty sweet. She was also pretty proud telling Nana and Pop Pop all about her cousin.

BANKS, Ark. — During the whole of a quiet morning in the Piney Woods, the old man tried hard to understand the way it had turned out.
His faded brown eyes looked straight at his visitor. He reached into everything he knew for an explanation. Once more, he failed; and he looked down at his shoes.
"I have," he said deeply, "had a load on me."
His name is Eddie Lovett. He had just turned 72. He is a dirt farmer, the son of a sharecropper, the father of six children and a man who has assembled a library of 40,000 books on his plowed and planted land here in the trees. He figures he has read 10,000 of them.
An Erudite Man
He is lettered through only the eighth grade but takes no shame in that. "I am an erudite man," he says, speaking a fact and not a boast. He knows Aristotle's philosophy, and he knows that "Amazing Grace" was written by John Newton, the captain of a slave ship who got religion on the high seas.

A publication by the Breast Center at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
Fall 2017
With current technology, it is relatively cheap and easy to sequence the DNA of just about anyone or anything. The technology, which first gained acclaim in academic research institutions, has been used to decipher the mistakes and changes in DNA that drive cancer, and has led to dozens of companies that offer sequencing directly to patients.Read More

At the hospital, noting Sadie's name, a nurse of ours mentioned one of her favorite songs- Sweet Sadie by The Spinners. When we got home from the hospital I downloaded the song, and it's become one of my favorites too. When Sadie is snuggled up against me, I like to sing the chorus to her. Here are some select lyrics from the song:
Sadie, Don't you know we love you
Sweet Sadie
Place no one above you
Sweet Sadie
Sweeter than cotton candy
Stronger than papas old brandy
Once in awhile she would break down and cry
Sadie (Oh, Sadie, baby)
Don't you know we love you
Sweet Sadie
If there's a heaven up above
I know she's teaching angels how to love
Its a mean world without you
Here are some recent pictures of Miss Sadie being sweetness incarnate. (And, we're hoping she doesn't discover the Sexy Sadie song by the Beatles for a long long while!)
Sadie love to nap with her hands up by her face. Which means she definitely abhors the swaddle. She took some long naps yesterday.
Daddy sleeps, while his little sweetness snuggles in the crook of his arm.
Okay, this one is more saucy than sweet, especially the inappropriate hand gesture. Where did she learn that naughtiness from? She's so rock star.
I guess she's trying to emulate Cash already, oh my...

Steve Edwards, you jerk. Right as I am falling back into one of my post-climbing trip "I need to recover a bit" phases, I stumble across your P90X bit on Facebook, and the fire is kindled once more. That spirit of what got me off my can during my early married life in Madison, WI and back onto vertical rock haunts me once more.
The Ruth Glacier was a horrible wakeup call, as I well expected it to be. As always, I felt as though I had not even brought a knife to that gunfight where technical preparation was concerned, but vigorous cardio and every last bit of rock I could get my hands and tools on paid off, landing me into some of the greatest climbing and ski touring I have seen in years.
But now its time for the truth that even I am not wanting to read back tonight when I stumble back to see this again: the vertical preparation was lacking, and it affected how aggressive I climbed.
So on that note, I start Flatland Vertical Landscape, a blog for creating the ultimate flatland alpinism training strategies for some of us poor souls bound to the midwest.
Treadmills on max incline (mine does 50% so I'll be a moment), pull-up bars in position, wallets out for the rock gyms, and get me the number for those guys selling the hypoxic training get-ups: its time to climb.

They were twenty-one hours, ten minutes when the flight 3402 disappeared in thin air.
Ten minutes before.
The little girl pressed her nose against the cold glass. Her mother, at her side, was sleeping with her head twisted. One by one, the lights of the passengers turned off and the cabin was about to fall into darkness if it wasn't because of a little light at the end of the hall. The windows closed, a mumble complain could be heard.
The atmosphere was starting to feel heavy with so many people in the same can.
She had a dotted dress, like the stars when they appear during the day. She was thinking, without unsticking her cold nose from the glass. She thought it was strange that the windows were so little when the plane was so big. And she shouldn't really care, because outside everything was reduced to black.
Flying through the dark atmosphere, with blind steps, drowning entire towns under its feet.
It wouldn't be so hard not to see them. The humanity and its cities looked like ants, or worse, as little as dusts specks. They pierced a cloud and everything shook, but nothing on the landscape below changed. They were so tall now that she couldn't even see the brilliant dot of the country they were flying over. The darkness was dense and heavy, absolute and infinite, like emptiness itself.
The darkness was around everything, and the last light at the end of the hall died, and they could be going up, gliding or falling down and no one would be able to tell.
And she asked herself if someone would miss her.

Woodland is part of the "Big Woods" that once stretched from Owatonna to St. Cloud. The first dwelling was constructed in Woodland in 1867. Woodland was settled in 1882 by year-round residents. The Village of Woodland was incorporated in December 1948.
Woodland is a residential community on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, with over a century of occupancy since the land was purchased from the Native Americans. The knob which once existed at the end of Breezy Point Road was a center for Indian rites and a landmark known as Spirit Knob. Records tell of white visitors in 1853. The Milwaukee Railroad and later the streetcar ran through the southern part of the City. The station still stands at Maplewood Road. Woodland is a beautiful and peaceful community filled with nature but just 11 miles from Mpls.

The BMW 650i xDrive
Forget about the generation BMW 3 Series, everyone seems to be talking about the new line up of the BMW 6 Series. After already previewing the 640d and the 640i, we take a look at the upcoming 650i in our blog post today.
The rivals
The BMW 650i xDrive coupe is surprisingly not officially considered as a direct rival to the Porsche 911 Carrera, despite having very similar looks. The car's main rivals will be the four door variants of other luxury manufacturers of the Audi A7 And the Mercedes-Benz CLS.
Cost to America
In America it will cost a staggering $101,500 for the entry level version.
Power within
The car will be able to produce a thunderous amount of power, with it blasting out a maximum of 400 BHP from it's twin turbo V8 engine. The gear transmission will consist of eight gears and paddle shifters.
There is said to be an amazing top speed of 250 km/h. In less than five seconds the car is said to be able to reach an outstanding 0 – 100 km/h. Clearly the car is very powerful on all performance levels.
2+2 seating
There are 2 seats at the rear which are mainly only suitable for children. Adults would not find them comfortable with some not even being able to fit.
The xDrive label on the model means that the car is in fact an all wheel drive vehicle. This helps when during moments of racing round corners with speeds and the general handling of the vehicle.
Drive platform
BMW have followed fellow German automakers Volkswagen and have adopted the idea of platform sharing. The BMW 650i xDrive contains the same platform as that of the 7-Series and the 5-Series.
Great sounding engine
When the driver wants the car shift, it develops a wonderful roar from the engine, according to many experts.
Luxurious features throughout
Inside the cabin there comes a wonderful amount of luxury. The leather seats are cream coloured. The driver and front passenger can find their perfect seating position with many adjustments available to be experimented with. There is even an option for under thigh support which is quite a unique feature.
iDrive system
The BMW 650i contains an iDrive system which helps to manage the navigation, audio features and more.
M Package
The M package will give you LED fog lights, an M style steering wheel, a sports exhaust plus 20 inch alloy wheels.

A team of young North artists have had their work chosen for a national exhibition in London.
The school children from South Tyneside spent a month attending art sessions with local artist Lucy Broadhead.
They used all types of materials, from felt tips to pastille crayons, to draw and design pictures of furniture and accessories in the style of the Art Deco era of 1910 to 1939. These were then scanned into a computer and turned into digital images put together to make a room in an Art Deco house.
Now their efforts have been rewarded with a prime display spot in London's Victoria and Albert Museum's Art Deco exhibition.
The art sessions were run as part of the NCH South Tyneside Participation Project.
Friends and family of the youngsters will get a chance to see their work closer to home at a special exhibition at the Customs House, in South Shields, in August.

Powerful. It is thanks to BBC2 foreign film nights that I discovered so many places like this. Jean Luc Godard, Jean Cocteau, Night Porter, Bad Timing. All thanks to BBC2. During the formative years of my life 16-22 all of them. God bless BBC2. Here I am in the extraordinarily beautiful Café Savoy. They sell an Alt Wiener Zwiebelrostbraten for 11,90 but the kitchen does not open till 4pm, so I will have to pass. But what a pleasure to be here.

Overlay project underway on San Marcos Boulevard
An overlay project began today on San Marcos Boulevard from Rancho Santa Fe Road west to Business Park Drive and will continue through August. The project is part of the City's comprehensive street maintenance program.
Daytime traffic controls will be in place weekdays from 7:30 am to 5 pm. Night work is planned for Wednesday, July 10 and Monday, July 15 with traffic controls in place on those days from6:30 pm to 6 am on the following day.
During work hours, travel lanes will be reduced to one lane in each direction. Motorists will notice that the roadway will be rough until the final pavement is placed.
Although traffic will be maintained on San Marcos Boulevard during the project, traffic delays are anticipated and motorists are advised to use an alternate route.
For more information, please contact Public Works Inspector Ryan Bishop at (760) 744-1050, ext. 3303.


text: Instructors have many choices of technologies (e.g. clickers, online homework platforms, learning management systems, simulations and modeling, asynchronous delivery) to enhance traditional methods of presentation, assessment, and communication in STEM courses, but there can be challenges in adopting new technologies. The primary objective of this course is to understand how each of several technologies supports some aspect of learning. For each technology, the focus will be on a critical, literature based assessment of pros and cons and applicability, rather than mechanics of implementation. The course will have elements of a graduate seminar, in which each student will investigate a technology of interest to him or her, report to the class on it, and, where possible, demonstrate it. A secondary objective is to make students aware of current technologies that may be helpful in different aspects of teaching, although the course will not attempt to catalog them. We expect that the course will provide a foundation for instructors to make intelligent choices about new technologies to adopt as they continue to evolve. Assignments will include reflecting on assigned readings, participating in weekly discussions, and one investigation and presentation of a learning technology.

Nearly two years after beginning construction at Wilshire Boulevard and Coronado Streets, Somerset Group has started work on the wood frame of the Zinc Apartments.
The seven-story building, which replaced a parking lot at 2525 Wilshire Boulevard, will consist of 152 apartments above 7,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and an underground parking structure. Plans call for a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units, in addition to amenities such as a swimming pool, a fitness center and a roof deck.
DFH Architects is designing the podium-type building, taking over from an earlier proposal for a high-rise structure from Rios Clementi Hale.
Originally scheduled for completion in 2017, a current timeline for the project west of MacArthur Park is currently unknown.

Read the whole Story: http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=756585When workers at a privately-owned building-products supplier in Sudbury, Ont., decided to stop paying union dues several years ago because they felt the union wasn't doing anything for them anymore, a labour boss was eventually dispatched to the northern city to deal with the situation.
The union official told the company it had to start deducting the dues from its paycheques. Employees resisted. They hadn't paid dues in more than 10 years.
The union lost touch with its members, failing to bargain a new collective agreement after it expired in 1997, the workers said. Meanwhile, they insisted the employer treated them fairly, giving them raises and an allowance for clothing. Last year, they voted to cut all ties with the union and decertify.
Hey everyone. I got some time to do the latest update to the board software, but it meant that all the old modifications and styles wouldn't work anymore. So, here you have the newest iteration of LabourTalk. Please let me know by Private Message if you run into any issues with the new styling. Some new features on the board are:
We hope you like the changes!
- Latest HTML5 Responsive Styling - You can now see a new, more modern styling on the board. Along with this, you can resize the browser to see the board change with it. The board is now functional on all sizes of screens, including your cell phone, table and desktop/laptop.
- Post Sharing - Although you could previously, the new layout means the sharing icons are more visible on the lower right hand corner of each post. Click your favourite social media outlet to share the desired post with them.
- Multiple Themes - Previously there was only one theme in an attempt to lower the workload when modifications were put in place. Fortunately, the new modification system is much simpler to implement and we now have multiple colour options for you to enjoy. You can change these from your User Control Panel under the Board Settings heading.
- Announcements - Announcements can now be posted here (where you're seeing this one) and, in most cases, can be dismissed. To dismiss them, please click the "X" in the top right corner of this box.
- Collapsing Categories - Categories, such as News & Announcements or Welcome (below), can be collapsed to clear up some of the clutter. This state should be maintained as long as you're logged in.
We hope you like the changes!

text: As a poet, I see myself as embracing liberal values in the broadest sense. I believe that poetry is, in itself, a form of liberal expression, in that it can articulate ideas of freedom, social equality, respect for diversity, and a celebration of the human spirit, in a language that has the potential to be non-political in the narrowest sense. My poems have appeared regularly in The Liberal magazine along with articles dealing with contemporary issues and I feel very strongly that poetry has a social function to perform at the beginning of the twenty-first century. At a time when the language of liberalism is being appropriated by both the marketplace and the political elite, poetry has the qualities that can help restore that language to its proper place, encouraging as it does receptiveness and open-mindedness on the part of the reader. I also feel that poetry appeals with the best in the human spirit. An admirer of the poetry of W. H. Auden, I would, however, strongly disagree with his conclusion that 'poetry makes nothing happen'. Poetry, I think, has the potential to work powerfully in the political sphere although its trajectory might not be easy to trace. I feel that poetry has a part to play in an ongoing debate about what it means to be human, to participate in a free and open society, to appeal to the generosity of spirit which is so firmly rooted in the Liberal Tradition. It has a part to play also, I believe, in the redefining of liberal values.

High performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) is a technique in which the high performance liquid chromatography is used to separate the components in a sample mixture under high pressure, followed by mass analysis by two mass spectrometers in series, which ionize and characterize sample constituents by their relative abundance and mass-to-charge ratio. It requires small sample volumes and give fast analysis with high specificity. It allows for a very accurate quantification of specific components in the sample mixture and is therefore frequently employed in forensic investigations, environmental monitoring and clinical research.

The number of pensioners catching the Fleetwood to Knott End ferry service has plummeted.
Last year, 27,222 OAPs made the short journey across the Wyre estuary, compared to 43,296 in 2007, council papers have revealed.
The figures show a gradual decline in 2013
The scrapping of free fares for pensioners is partly to blame, a report says.
In a report for councillors, based on the most recent figures available, he said: "The figures show a gradual decline in 2013. This is caused by the six per cent decrease of OAP passengers after the introduction of a £1 flat rate tariff, following the ferry's removal from the concessionary fare scheme."
However, the number of youngsters aged from five to 16 has almost doubled, with the council expecting overall passenger figures – which have remained consistent in recent years – to match or exceed last year's figure of more than 50,000 passengers.
Mr Green said: "The ferry has been running successfully under the current contract. Significant improvements to both the entrance to the Knott End Slipway and passenger information have been made.
"These works have included the installation of new coastal defences, improvements to shelters and information signage.
"Some 20m of the slipway surface has been upgraded and an LS Lowry status has also been installed."
The ferry service operates all year, every 30 minutes between 8am and 6pm in the summer and every hour in the winter. The council signed a 10 year deal with Wyre Marine Services in March 2007.
Councillors could decide to renew the contract, which sees Wyre Marine Services keep 100 per cent of the income from fare but made responsible for insurance, operation, maintenance, dredging and rent, business rates, and other associated costs.
Alternatively they could put the contract out to tender, sell the service, or scrap the ferry service completely from March 25, 2017.
Mr Green said stopping the service is 'included as a baseline option for consideration but ultimately it does not provide continuation of a valued public service'.
If the council decides to put the contract out to tender, a 15-month process would get underway early next year before a handover in 2017. Coun Michael Vincent, who chairs the council's overview and scrutiny committee, said: "No decision has been made. People of Knott End and Fleetwood both value the service and it's something the council does too."

A pioneer in used-car sales in San Antonio dies
Thomas Houston Baker was a man with many goals and the ambition to achieve them. From being a successful car salesman to racing horses, Baker taught his children how to strive for what they wanted in life.
"My dad was a hard worker, achiever and a winner," said his son, Roy James Baker. "I see those traits in all of his kids. When he had an idea, he created it and lived his life doing what he loved."
Baker died of heart failure on April 13, the day after his birthday, when he turned 89.
At a young age, Baker moved to San Antonio from Sutherland Springs, Texas, to live with relatives and start working. Baker had cousins in the Navy and followed in their footsteps by enlisting in the Army. Baker served for three years during World War II in Italy.
When Baker returned, he and his brother opened Baker Brothers Used Cars. Once Baker started learning more about cars and being a salesman, he branched out and began his own business, Texas Auto Sales.
On the South Side of San Antonio, Baker owned many car lots under his Texas Auto Sales brand. His children began working with him and now handle the business for him.
"He was a honest salesman and a pioneer in the used car business," said his daughter, Edna Mae Baker Hild, one of his 11 children. "He taught me that you never need to lie to sell a car; there is a buyer for every car."
While still running his business, Baker discovered his passion for racing Quarter Horses. He invested more than $3,000 in a race horse named Turf's Best.
Turf's Best was Baker's 1967 and 1968 world-champion running colt. Together, they won many races and trophies.
In later years, Baker continued with his car business, but in his downtime he enjoyed life at his ranch and giving back to others. Baker was a faithful member of Glory Bound Church and helped out whenever he could.
When Baker saw that his church needed some extra cash to fix the roof, he bought all the supplies. When family members were in a bind, Baker helped them out financially. If a customer was late on a car payment, Baker would work with them rather than repossess the car, Hild said.
"He was good judge of character and just an incredible man," she said. "He was a giver and a good man. He was of small stature, but he was the toughest and biggest man I've ever met."

Just another Male Fantasy for me…
I think I saw this video years ago, but I just saw it again recently, and think it's hilarious… except that I find every woman in this video EXTREMELY sexy!
THE FLIP SIDE (BAR) – YouTube.
Do guys fantasize about aggressive women? Some do. I guess it's not the aggressiveness, but more the confidence the women in this video show that I find attractive.
Some guys would be very turned off by this, and I'd say mostly it's because they feel threatened, or just "out manned" y'know? Well, sign me up for this ANY day!
And here's part 2: Dating!
I often wonder what it would be like if I were out dating again, but I think I'd want to do it in this universe instead!
