April 26, 2004
By Jerry Burke
Former Winnebago County district attorney Joe Paulus is
now a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty in court Monday to
using the mail to accept bribes, and tax evasion. Prosecutors
said Paulus took $48,000 in bribes in exchange for reduced
sentences, during his time as DA, mostly for drunk driving cases in
1998 and 1999.
Paulus arrived at the federal court in Green Bay about 10 minutes early, when he said:
"It's a tough day for me and my family, but I'm here to
take responsibility and move forward."
"I understand that I am going to prison. I understand that I will surrender my right to practice law anywhere in the country. I understand that I will be a convicted felon and carry that stigma for the rest of my life," the statement said.
Several people who blew the whistle on Paulus attended
the hearing, including one of Paulus' former
assistants. E.J. Jelinski says he's convinced the federal
investigation is just the tip of the iceberg and that what Paulus did
illegally didn't just happen during two years.
Menasha police officer Ann Gollner is the one who blew the whistle on Paulus, after which Paulus tried getting her fired. Ann and her husband both attended today's hearing.
"We both needed to hear him say he was guilty," she says, "and it doesn't go any more than that. It's a part that we need to move on, and I feel we're ready to do that after sitting through the hearing today."
Paulus left the courthouse quickly following today's hearing. He'll remain free until his July 22nd sentencing. However, Monday's plea does not prevent the state from also pursuing charges against him.
"I certainly don't intend to duplicate everything that federal authorities have already done," says state assistant attorney general Dan Bach, "and I don't know there's any need to do that, but as I've said, we intend to focus on state offenses that may not have been involved or the focus of the federal investigation."

just published its first edition. I'm taking care of their data entry
for subscribers.
Yesterday, I was so swamped with work issues and problems, and nothing
seemed to go my way. Spent the weekend doing social things and my
hives were flaring up as as result of the crap I ate as well. So, by
the end of the day, I felt stressed out and not really feeling as
though I could honestly do this work with a sense of mindfulness. I
very nearly asked Linda if I could go off and meditate somewhere
before beginning the work; but when I arrived, she was hurrying
through catching me up on things and rushing out to some sort of show.
Before I knew it, I was sitting in front of the Mac, typing away at
the various things I had gone to work on, and the stress had floated
out of my system. After working for a couple of hours, I packed up.
As I walked to my car, I looked beyond the car to where sat a pond,
and I saw a family of geese with lots of goslings waddling about,
enjoying the lawn and the beautiful evening. It made me realize that
of the month or so that I've been going to that place to work, I'd not
really noticed how beautiful the pond was. On the other side of the
driveway was a pen of what looked like fresh vegetables. I remember
reading a story that linda wrote about her first chicks, and how she
lost them to some sort of disease. I'll have to see if she still has
The concept of mindfulness and stopping to smell the roses is a
constant, daily thing that I need to keep paying attention to. I've
had a lifetime of not giving a shit about roses and anything else but
getting from where I am to where I want to be going, and being blind
to all of the stuff in between.
If you take a straight line, and look at the two endpoints, you'll
notice that 99.99% of the line is all of the stuff in between the two
endpoints. How much of life have I missed?

Food quality, a Carrefour priority
Quality accessible to all, proximity, fulfilment of consumer expectations, Carrefour finds inspiration in its own brands.
A multi-channel TV, press and in-store campaign
Carrefour signs a multi-channel campaign and extends the mechanism following the "Bravo" and "Better every day" press spots, which recalled the brand's historic commitment and announced four new food quality initiatives: the organic farming acceleration programme, the plan to support agro-ecology, the first certification approach based on animal well-being and blockchain technology to ensure the traceability of its animal supply lines.
The mechanism gets under way on television on 10 March with a series of three films: a manifesto, a film focusing on an everyday emblematic product and a last spot on the company's multi-format and multi-channel dimension.
This campaign will also run in magazine press. This is an opportunity to promote flagship products such as fresh milk from the Normandy Carrefour Quality Line, Auvergne chicken not treated with antibiotics and Carrefour free range eggs laid by non GMO-fed chickens.
Finally, the mechanism will also run in store via relational marketing and on social networks.
Digital activation in question and answer format
In response to increasingly demanding consumer enquiries about food quality, the campaign will be implemented digitally via "Verificators", a group of children who go to meet the brand's producer partners on their farms to ask questions on product quality and how they are made: "Why do your chickens never eat GMO? "What are antibiotics?" "Why are tomatoes better when grown in soil?" These factual reports are broken down into short sequences and relayed on social networks.
Carrefour, 25 years' commitment to food quality
Through this campaign, Carrefour highlights its responsibility and role as a pioneer and driving force alongside producers, retailers and consumers in the development of food quality, and in particular:
1992: launch of Carrefour Quality Lines, 95 lines which today comprise over 20,000 partner producers.
1997: launch of Carrefour Bio, 800 food references to date and 40 organic fruit and vegetable lines developed in association with 170 partners in France

NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Similar to other multi-million dollar claims filed recently by investors rights law firm of Vernon Healy, this claim filed against J.P. Morgan today addresses what the law firm believes to be deceptive sales strategies designed to appeal to high net worth investors. "We see a recent trend in pitching 'risk management' as a sales tool," explained attorney Chris Vernon. The investors drawn to these types of sales pitches by Wall Street firms and Family Offices want to focus on reasonable returns with downside protection, not speculate with their net worth. But, according to Vernon, "Too often, investment firms sell strategies that result in devastating losses to investors who were trying to avoid speculative investing."
In the J.P. Morgan case filed today, the financial advisor exercised both discretion and direction over the client's account. The advisor, who is based out of a California office of J.P. Morgan, has a number of investor complaints that have resulted in FINRA arbitration claims filed against J.P. Morgan as his employer. Although the complaining investors are from diverse states-- New Jersey, Washington, Florida, and California--the substance of virtually all the complaints seem to involve U.S. Treasury STRIPS or other government debt. Like the Claim filed today, the FINRA arbitration claims filed by his other customers collectively include allegations of: misrepresentation of the level of risk, misrepresentation of the risk associated with the recommended strategy, over-concentration of the account, breach of fiduciary duty, failure to follow instructions and inappropriate use of margin and leverage.
According to the claim filed by Vernon Healy (and consistent with other investor complaints against J.P. Morgan), this financial advisor exposed clients to an inappropriate level of risk by making a speculative bet that U.S. Government debt would fall in value. Again, Vernon Healy sees this as a troubling industry-wide trend of luring conservative high net worth investors into high-risk strategies falsely promoted as low risk/reasonable return strategies.
The Claim filed today alleges that J.P. Morgan and its advisor's use of margin and leverage compounded the harm caused by the incompetent investment advice. According to the Claim, at one point the margin balance in this customer's account spiked to more than $2 million. This added to the leverage imbedded within the U.S. Treasury STRIPS strategy used by J.P. Morgan's advisor. Because STRIPS are traded at deep discounts to maturity value in lieu of interest, they are more volatile than traditional U.S. Treasuries. Thus, in effect, there were two levels of leverage in this strategy, according to the Claim. The first level of leverage was at the account level with the utilization of margin; the second level of leverage was at the position level with the use of STRIPS, which are typically much more volatile than Treasuries with the same maturity.
The Claim also argues that the J.P. Morgan advisor evolved his short selling of these STRIPS into more and more distant maturities, which further increased the risks of these investments. Notably, the lion's share of the alleged losses from this shorting of STRIPS resulted from the trades in the longest maturity STRIPS.
Just like a hedge fund, J.P. Morgan not only charged management fees but also charged performance or incentive fees. According to the Claim, these types of fees actually incentivized its advisors to take risks with clients' money because it resulted in extra fees for successful bets (and no reimbursement of incentive fees if the gains are reversed or losses are suffered). It is hard for firms like J.P. Morgan to justify that the success of a portfolio should be measured over a long period of time by the client when incentive fees are collected annually.
"Although the Claim we filed today is against J.P. Morgan, others are following the same disturbing trend," warned attorney Chris Vernon. The Vernon Healy firm is currently conducting an aggressive nationwide and international investigation into similar practices on behalf of clients of other firms that cater to high net worth investors. Specifically, Vernon Healy believes that firms such as J.P. Morgan and its Wall Street competitors (as well as Trust Companies and Multi Family Offices) often lead such investors to believe these investment strategies are customized and that the risks are managed to a far greater extent than they are. Chris Vernon predicts that this is just the beginning, "Unfortunately, these marketing pitches will likely continue as long as they generate more in fees than what is paid out in lawsuits and arbitrations."
Based in Naples, Florida, the securities attorneys at the Vernon Healy law firm have conducted aggressive nationwide investigations of hedge funds, fund of fund hedge funds, managed futures, structured products, reverse convertibles, municipal bonds, bond funds, Puerto Rico bonds, non-traded REITs, private equity, EB-5, complex insurance products and strategies, TICS, and various securities fraud cases and Ponzi schemes. The firm's investigations and advocacy on behalf of investors have been featured in AARP magazine and Forbes. More recently, one of Vernon Healy's ongoing investigations was reported in Barron's.

A final draft of the report, which was prepared under a contract from HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is currently being thoroughly vetted by that organization's Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders and Genetic Diseases in Newborns and Children.
The document is expected to be finalized within the next two months and subsequently published as an online supplement to the journal Pediatrics, according to Dr. R. Rodney Howell, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami and chairman of both ACMG and the advisory committee.
In an interview with MedPage Today, Dr. Howell noted that the report is the product of a two-year effort that "brought together probably 100 people who are, fundamentally, the true experts in the field of heritable childhood disease, including people with expertise in ethics and law as well as in laboratory research and public health."
Among the rare conditions for which the document recommends routine testing during an infant's first few days of life is MCAD (medium chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency), a genetic disease in which the body is unable to break down fats to produce energy. Some experts believe that MCAD may be the cause of one out of 100 infant deaths thought to result from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
"If unrecognized and untreated," said Dr. Howell, "some babies with MCAD deficiency will die. Early screening for this and other newborn diseases, as rare as they are, is bound to save lives."
However, according to a report in The New York Times, the ACMG proposal is already controversial, with opponents claiming that for all but about five or six of the conditions recommended for newborn screening, it is unknown how often babies will test false-positive.
Opponents also cite the danger that children who are diagnosed with mild forms of an illness would be treated immediately for more serious forms and, as a result, could suffer dire health consequences.
Dr. Norman Frost, a medical ethicist at the University of Wisconsin, told the Times: "The majority of newborn screenings have failed. Thousands of normal kids have been killed or gotten brain damage by screening tests and treatments that turned out to be ineffective and very dangerous."
While declining to dismiss such viewpoints, Dr. Howell told MedPage Today:
"The bottom line on this report is that the group of experts who worked on it are fully aware of all issues surrounding newborn screening, more so than any other group in the world. They've devoted their lives to it. They know all of the adverse effects that have resulted. They've seen all of the complications.
"In my view, it's very important to put as many screening programs as possible into place now instead of saying, 'let's think about it for another 30 years.' We must be proactive now, since it's clear that newborn screening saves lives."

Count Your Chickens
The warmth of the early spring and the abundant supply of easy food both surrounding and inside the bird feeders has attracted some unwelcome attention from squirrels here on Hallett's Mountain. They have only made it this far up once before in my tenure and that some time back in the last century. This year however there are at least two and possibly more.
I can't tell squirrels apart of course and have never seen them as a pair.
I know there are a minimum of two though because one of them is a consummate expert at dodging to the left.
The other one tasted a little bit like chicken……
The illustration is the ever growing hole in my wall as I search for the chimney....
I didn't feel I could use a squirrel picture....

Big shoulders were extremely popular in the 80s, and now they're back; still making you look chic, sexy and tough. It's a spicy combination! Here you will learn about how to easily handle the big shoulders trend. Bubbles, ruffles, epaulettes – you choose how to spice up them big shoulders this summer! This trend will make you the one in control. It's time to show the world that you are the leader!
Power Dressing: The 80s
In the 80s, the role of women in the workplace increased tremendously. Their status raised and they now had more power and control. This of course affected women's fashion and resulted in a new look: masculine blazers with oversized shoulders. Just wearing such a blazer made a woman look and feel fierce. Shoulder pads became an irreplaceable and a must-have part of women's wear. This look was also widely spread among artists who combined it with big hair and heavy makeup to create this strong, rebellious in a way, image.
Big Shoulders' Comeback
Big shoulders stayed in style until mid-90s. However, after that they became reduced to smaller and smaller shoulder lines. The trend to shrinking the shoulders in the last years resulted in the ridiculously tight-fitting jackets. I even remember myself a few years ago looking for a professional blazer and finding nothing but shoulder-padless jackets! But as it always happens, fashion has made its comeback! Big shoulders are in again and we see them everywhere! Especially on celebrities. Beyonce has embraced the whole Viking-diva image. Her latest tour I Am...Sasha Fierce outfits were all about showing the woman's power by emphasizing her shoulders. Rihanna's on it as well. She's been numerously seen wearing blazers and jumpsuits with oversized shoulders. Anne Hathaway has even pulled it off with a dress which looked quite chic.
The point is: the 80s look is back and improved. Big shoulders are hotter than they've ever been!
Bubble Sleeves For A Bubbly Personality!
Here is one version of the big shoulders: round puffy sleeves which look like bubbles. They are great on tops, blouses and dresses. You can wear your puffy-sleeve top with anything you want: a skirt, jeans, or formal pants. Rihanna smartly combined her puff-sleeved purple top with a pink bubble skirt, and looked absolutely phenomenal in that outfit! What's great about this kind of shoulders is that they may look formal and playful at the same time! Perfect for a formal dinner, a date, or a girls night out!
Romantic Ruched Shoulders
Ruched sleeves are cute and girly. They are made by ruffling the fabric and result in a "princess" look. Ruched sleeves work great for women with all body types, because the volume of the sleeves instantly makes the waist look smaller and balances out the hips. Very flattering! Ruched shoulders are especially nice on cardigans with mid-length sleeves or dress shirts that could be worn to work.
Epaulettes for Miss Tough
Epaulettes are ornamental shoulder pieces which show the rank in armed forces. They are also part of fashion! You can see them on blazers and jackets. These shoulder pieces look especially hot on leather jackets. And they sure do show your rank, Miss Tough! If you're wearing an epaulette jacket, remember to keep it simple: epaulettes speak loudly for themselves. They are big and shiny enough to get all the attention, so there's no need for heavy jewellery. Enjoy, officer!:)

TOKYO (CBS.MW) - Japanese customs authorities on Wednesday granted Fujitsu's request to halt imports of a Samsung Electronics' unit's plasma display panels (PDPs), a customs official said.
The request was approved Wednesday and the ban could last as long as two years, said Katsuji Mizuo in the intellectual property unit of Japan's Customs and Tariffs bureau.
Early this month, Fujitsu FJTSY, +1.93% (6702) filed suits in Tokyo and Los Angeles, seeking compensation for past alleged patent infringement and a court order against future importation and sales of infringing PDPs manufactured by Samsung SDI. See full story.
The halt on imports is aimed at protecting Fujitsu from additional damage from the alleged patent infringement until a decision is made on the patent claim or Fujitsu drops the claim, Mizuo said.
Brian Sohn, a Samsung SDI spokesman in Seoul, said the company anticipated Japan's actions, and that the step would not have a significant impact on the South Korean company's bottom line.
"PDP direct exports to Japan are only about 3 percent of our total exports," most of which are bound for the U.S., he said. "If imposed, this ban will not affect our business much."
Shares of Samsung SDI's parent, Samsung Electronics SSNGY, +0.00% closed up 1.6 percent in Seoul Wednesday. The Kospi closed up 1.2%.
Shares of Fujitsu closed up 0.9 percent, while the Nikkei Average ended down 7 points, or 0.07 percent.

went to pane e vino (off beverly) to discuss menus for the rehearsal dinner that we're planning there. fiancee and i decided to have dinner. recollection of posts related to "best steak" in LA, reminded me of mr. grub's rec for a ribeye at the place - rare. i ordered as posted by grubster. very good steak and a steal of a deal at 25 bucks. came with greens, a broiled tomato, and rosemary potatoes. i normally do not order a steak at an italian place - but this was a superb piece of meat. i normally do not like charred steaks either, but the char on this steak was not bitter but rather flavorful (perhaps with the oil or herbs the steak is dressed with prior to grilling?)
thanks for the tip mr. grub.

NORMALLY I DON'T LIKE to put time-frames on events.
It implies that you're waiting for a future moment, some golden landmark where you can take stock and tell everyone how great you are and then sigh before looking at the next timed milestone, hoping you won't lapse.
Nothing wrong with planning ahead but when a decision is made to quit alcohol for life, I prefer not to count in days or months.
I smoked a cigarette ten years ago and have no appetite to do so again. Should I then declare myself smoke free for 220 months?
I'll leave the counting to others if they feel it will help.
I've mentioned in previous articles that when I drink, I DRINK. Typically no more or less than your next average Irish weekend binge drinker (which doesn't make it right or normal). I've finally had enough and I'll go into the detailed reasons in a future post but needless to say, my reasons are the same as most people's. A desire to improve my health, productivity, eliminate hangovers, build natural confidence etc.
I have enough drunken stories to last a lifetime.
In the last three months I've been sober and dry in Colombia, Miami Beach and London for the Rugby World Cup surrounded by drinkers and offers of alcohol. I enjoyed those occasions so much more than I ever could have had I been drunk which would invariably have been the case. There has been resistance from friends and families as they naturally question my timing and motivation encouraging to start on a new month or post-tournament..
Funny how if you quit a habit like smoking you're labelled as a hero, but if you give up booze you're labelled as a bit of a freak such is its influence in our society, yet responsible for 2.5 million deaths annually.
In the past few months I've managed to complete my third novel which I would never have done had I continued drinking. Disgusting hangovers killed my productivity and a Friday binge would wipe out my weekend. My sleep deprived and poisoned body wouldn't be right again until Tuesday at the earliest.
I found a few excellent resources that have logically explained the damage I had been doing to my body which I'd highly recommend for those interested in reducing or eliminating alcohol from their lives.
I stumbled upon soberistas.com which has some very compelling testimonials. Through the site I discovered a book by Jason Vale called 'Kick the Drink Easily'. It helped reinforce my belief especially in the first few days that my decision was the right one.
There is also a lot of strong evidence in the book which dispels some of the myths around living a sober, alcohol-free life.
I'm not interested in pushing sobriety on people who are perfectly happy with their own lifestyle choices.
I wasn't happy with my relationship with alcohol which is why I needed to finally address the underlying issues.
Living in Ireland, there never seemed to be an alternative to getting wasted at weekends. Slowly more people are waking up to the damaging effects highlighted by Hollywood stars who gave it up, including Colin Farrell, Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper.
At the very least, it helps to educate our Irish youths that choosing sobriety needn't be a handicap and if successful, attractive celebrities in the public eye are thriving in their career and personal life as a result of their 'unpopular' decision, then maybe that's something worth considering.

Lodha report: BCCI must draw up a to-do-things-the-right-way list
Cricket administration is way ahead of other sports federations and politicians alone can't be blamed for the BCCI's dent in image.cricket Updated: Jul 19, 2016 10:53 IST
With the Supreme Court accepting most of the recommendations made the Justice RM Lodha committee, the cricket board is braced for a root-and-branch change in its functioning.
Among the most prominent recommendations of the panel report was to bar ministers and bureaucrats from holding office, at the state or national level.
It also disqualifies those over 70 from holding office, allows only one post per person and restricts each state to one voting member, among other decisions.
Making Changes
Some of the recommendations made by the Lodha panel in its report released on January 4 have already been implemented.
It anticipated the Supreme Court to pretty much go by the report of the committee it appointed in January, 2015 as a follow-up to its probe panel on the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
Among them are the appointment of a CEO and Chief Operating Officer as well as providing information on its website.
Read | Lodha panel report causes disquiet in BCCI's West Zone units
The Lodha panel's recommendations is aimed at loosening the grip of individuals with influence and certain pockets that effectively control the administration of cricket in India.
Still, cricket administration is way ahead of other sports federations and politicians alone can't be blamed for the BCCI's dent in image.
First Mistake
A quick glance at what triggered the chain reaction that led to Monday's firm stand by the Supreme Court shows that tweaking the BCCI constitution in the first place, ahead of the 2008 launch of the Indian Premier League, to let a senior office-bearer own a team paved the way for conflict of interest.
N Srinivasan, who was allowed to own Chennai Super Kings while holding a senior post while the then BCCI president was Shashank Manohar.
Although the Lodha committee has laid out a lot in black and white, real transformation will come only when senior BCCI members decide to usher in change for the better.
A mere review of the developments starting with the 2013 IPL spot-fixing and leading to the conflict of interest case against N Srinivasan as BCCI president will encourage them to do it.
Focus Change
BCCI secretary, Ajay Shirke, had told HT in an interview during the Supreme Court hearings on the Lodha panel report that the time has come to make BCCI a 'process driven organisation than a person driven one'.
He could not have put it better. Cricket, by far the most popular sport in India, has provided tremendous goodwill and influence for its officials and hence has attracted powerful figures down the year. But politics has trumped professional administration, especially in certain state associations.
"It definitely has tremendous room for improvement… My goal now is to make the Board more of a process-driven organisation than a person driven one," Shirke had said.
The Pune businessman has said he will quit as Maharashtra Cricket Association president to retain his BCCI position.
Read | SC ruling on Lodha panel could change the face of sports administration
Shirke acknowledged the past failings. "Certain decisions were taken that have affected BCCI's image. These decisions were taken because the structure at the time permitted it.
"So, I feel a system-driven protocol needs to be implemented. The focus will be to help restore BCCI's image."
Getting proactive
Restricting individuals to one post, for instance will be a step forward. But it will be vital the BCCI gets proactive to usher in transparency.
"BCCI is financially self-reliant… We have delivered good cricket and all that is needed now is course correction. There is no need to reinvent, but just fine-tuning the way the Board management is handled should do," Shirke said.
Fine-tuning, as Shirke said, alone may not be enough. In Australia, administrative reforms were ushered in by a panel tasked by Cricket Australia (CA). And its recommendations were promptly implemented. Same was the case with the England board (ECB).
In India, the Lodha panel had to pore through those reports and include the salient points. That shows there is much gap to bridge between recommendation and implementation.

Of course, for a game like this the plot is essential and I'll be forcing the player to read walls and walls of text. Now, the screenshot below isn't exactly thrilling but what is interesting is the behind the scenes actions taking place.
There's now a system whereby a data file contains all possible messages to be sent to the player as they explore the game world, which can obviously be used to flesh out the plot or provide some kind of description of game areas as things go on. This is stored in plain text and is obviously highly modifiable and very easy to chop and change. Basically the game now loads that all up on start up, positions those messages appropriately through the game world and pays attention to when the player comes within a certain range of the tile containing the trigger and away we go.
It might not seem like much, but it's an important part of the central structure of making this game an RPG and not a simple roguelike! And it also means that I'm getting much closer to the point where I can start quickly producing game content as the underlying systems to interpret and display that all fall into place.
Next up is probably plot characters - otherwise normal monsters or NPC's which have a certain plot element to their existence and with whom the player can interact. The trick thing will be thinking about how best to store this information in a data file to be interpreted on game start.

The Sarawak Government has rejected the use of diesel-powered stage buses that the Federal Government intends to bring in through the Stage Bus Services Transformation programme.
Instead, they want the bus to be swapped with electric powered engine buses, Bernama reported.
The decision on the use of electric buses by the state government is aimed at absorbing fiscal price pressures due to weekly diesel price fluctuations, especially to those who use bus services on a regular basis.
Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Abang Openg said the transformation of stage buses should be implemented in energy-efficient concepts, in line with modern technology and Sarawak has the capacity of supplying electricity at low tariffs.
"A sum of RM50 million is required to bring at least 50 electric buses to the state within the next three years. The use of these electric buses has a significant impact and added value to the Sarawak tourism industry as a whole.
"Majority of our foreign tourists have a high degree of awareness on environmental protection, so the use of electric buses using green energy will be effective publicity to promote the state as a conservation destination," he said.
In an agreement signed in November last year, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri, announced that the Stage Bus Services Transformation programme is aimed at replacing old-fashioned public transport to new buses.
At least 100 new buses are expected to be brought into Sarawak starting this year with the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) responsible for managing the buses, while a local consortium is set up to carry out operations.
Abang Johari said the state government's intention to use electric buses was already presented to the Federal Government but the restrictions on allocation had caused the number of new buses to be reduced.
"In line with the state government's policy emphasising on the sustainable use of green energy concepts, we reject stage buses that use diesel engine. Hence, the stage bus that are to be brought in this year will be reduced to accommodate the cost of replacing the electric engines.
"The state government will take the initiative to re-invest in buying that type of bus, thus terminating diesel-powered bus engines in order to protect the state from the impact of fuel combustion," he said.

You know nothing, Jon Snow…
554 pages
Genre Fiction (Fantasy)
Sunday 27th July – Monday 25th August (30 days)
6 morning, 8 afternoon, 7 evening, 2 night.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite book series, and Martin one of my favourite authors…
This is the second part of the third book, and we follow Robb (King of the North), Stannis and Joffrey continue to fight over the throne, Daenerys increase her army of followers across the sea, and Jon Snow and his struggles with the Wildlings at the Wall.
As usual for Martin, there are some gruesome shocking deaths. From hereon in are spoilers – YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Joffrey dies at his own wedding, which in itself was fantastic – the little idiot deserved it. But this in turn then means Tyrion is accused of his murder, and Sansa escapes with Littlefinger to the Eyrie… Tyrion goes from strength to strength, having so much rubbish thrown at him and trying so hard to get himself out of trouble, and finally snapping at the end of the book… delicious. His character is by far my favourite. He is witty, intelligent, and I really feel for him and the way he is treated throughout the series so far.
Daenerys works hard on becoming a strong leader and Queen and building her army of ex-slaves, and uncovers traitors in her midst. (I called it…) Arya travels around with the Hound and their relationship, although strange, was interesting to read. As was Jaime and Brienne's relationship – another interesting twist. Finally, there were interesting developments at the wall, with the Wildlings beaten, Stannis coming to the Nightwatch's aid, and Jon Snow given some interesting choices for his future.
As always, this was a great read – I love the way the story is told from different perspectives from different characters, and the story move along with loads of twists and turns. Never a dull moment in Westeros…

The recently-announced Ansel photo-capturing technology took center stage at the booths just outside the NVIDIA Experience Center. Many lined up to check out the software and take a photo of their favourite scene.
Ansel lets players capture in-game shots and view in 360 degrees. They can manoeuvre the lens through several angles, add post-process filters and grab images of their favourite gameplay in super-high fidelity.
Those who tried the technology at the Ansel booth got to take home a printed copy of their effort for posterity.

I'm still on vacation. Jealous yet?
But today we have a reader guest post. Yep, not a blogger. She goes by "J" (she does have a real name but would like to protect her privacy. However, I have seen pictures of her and I can assure you, she's real, and gorgeous. Not that we are shallow or anything…).
So without further ado, I give you "J":
If I had a blog…..
If I had a blog, I would rant about punctuation abuse.
Dear 99% of bloggers, have you ever heard of the period? No, I'm not referring to the menses that you are missing from your effed nutrition/exercise habits, but rather the simple dot that concludes a statement. That's right, not all sentences must end in exclamation points. What are you so effing emphatic about anyway? "Hi!!! It's morning! It's Tuesday! I ate food! I went to the gym!" Fine. But when you use exclamation points ad naesum, your reader doesn't know when you are genuinely wishing to emphasis something. Ditto abuse of smiley faces—must you greet us each and every day with a shit eating grin? Of course, this criticism is applicable to readers as well. No one's comment should be exclusively punctuated by exclamation points and smiley-faces, you asskissing commenter you. Again, I'm not advocating a wholesale rejection of all exclamation points or smiley faces. Just a gentle reminder to use them with discretion pleasethankyouverymuch.
If I had a blog, I would share with you the following links.
Ever come across something so awesome that you want as many people as possible to share in your delight? I rarely click-through when bloggers provide links, but people, I beseech you from bended knee to give these a gander. These are a few of my favorite things and they are worth it! See. I mean business, I used an exclamation point.
Marvel (the gym I would join if I lived in LA)
Aww (my future pet assortment)
Listen, learn, and laugh (my favorite radio program)
If I had a blog, I would share wonderful recipes.
But I don't have a blog, so you're SOL. Instead, I'll offer a food PSA. My local CVS stores carry salmon in the pouch for a buck each. A dollar. Who would think to buy pouched salmon at CVS and that a pharmacy would actually have a good price on something? Not me. I noticed this by pure chance one day on my way to the pharmacy counter, and I'm so happy I did. Say you're out and about and you pop into such a store for a nibble. Now, you could shell out an absurd $2.79 for a nutrition bar…OR you could relinquish 4 measly quarters and get real food that boasts a better nutritional profile to boot. Plus, with that $1.79 you saved, you can now buy a Coke Zero with which to wash it down. Score.
Many thanks to Eden for allowing me to impose my rambling upon her readers, and thanks to you for reading! (*cough* Note, heartfelt gratitude indicated by exclamation point……but seriously, thanks very much to Eden and to you all)
Non-Bloggers: What would you do if YOU had a blog?
Bloggers: What have you wanted to write about but never did?

Did you know tomorrow, Tuesday, August 13, is International Left-Handers' Day? The annual event was launched by the Left-Handers Club in 1992 to encourage left-handers everywhere to, "celebrate their sinistrality and increase public awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed."
If you're a lefty — or if you've ever taught one — you will appreciated these botherations from BuzzFeed.com … many of which are learning-related!

ENGELBERG, Switzerland (AP) World Cup leader Peter Prevc of Slovenia beat his 16-year-old brother Domen to win a ski jump large hill event Saturday.
A remarkable podium was completed by third-place Noriaki Kasai of Japan, who at age 43 is older than the brothers' combined ages. Kasai took Olympic silver at the 1994 Lillehammer Games, five years before Domen Prevc was born.
Peter Prevc, a 23-year-old double medalist at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, leaped 139.5 and 134 meters to lead with 297.1 points.
Domen Prevc trailed by more than 13 points after jumping 133.5 and 134. Kasai's 131.5 and 134 jumps trailed the winner by 23 points.
Peter Prevc used his 100 points for the win to build a 105-point standings lead over Germany's Severin Freund.
Engelberg hosts another large hill event Sunday.

The so-called Connected Car Fund will be managed by Nokia Growth Partners (NGP), the mobile firm's investment arm. New technology is connecting vehicles not only with the internet, but also with each other.
"Our new $100m venture fund launched today further underlines our belief that the connected car is a significant growth opportunity where NGP is poised to make great investments," said boss Rajeev Suri.
Nokia has previously worked on connected car services through its Here mapping service. The Finnish firm said its new fund will work closely with Here to make investments that would help grow the division.
"The Connected Car Fund underscores that connectivity is rapidly reshaping what is possible in the car environment," said Here chief executive Michael Halbherr.
"We believe that connected cars equipped with precise location awareness and sensor data can become powerful devices capable of helping drivers make sense of the world around them."

Okay, I have been meaning to post this for a bit! See the bottom right hand corner of my blog? Yes, that's right, right there! See that list of great stuff? Well, I really want to tell you a bit about each one and why you might want to check them out!!!
So, I'm going to go out of order, because I am super excited about this first one!!
The Wire Guild!
1st the disclaimer: This IS a paid-membership site. No, I RARELY....make that never, join those. But this one was totally worth it. First, it's $6 (US) a month and you get two VIDEO tutorials included in that cost each month. Plus, the videos are awesome....the teacher actually fusses around with the wire a bit. I thought maybe good wire workers just looked at the wire and it behaved. LOL...the video shows even an expert wire worker needs to talk nice to the wire sometimes. And you know what? It makes me feel a whole bunch better. See, I live in a very small town, and I've never actually taken an in-person class in any of my 'mediums'. I pretty much learn via books, and purchased pdf tutorials and youtube videos. This site, well, the videos are great and there is a forum which I have found very helpful.
I wish I could post a picture of the amazing work....but I think the images are protected. SO even if you will never, never, never join one of these sites, at least go and look at the beautiful wirework on the introductory pages. (:
And in case you are a new wire worker looking to buy wire, I have a few suggestions. Of course, you can always buy wire at www.riogrande.com. It's kind of a staple location for professional folks. But I'm not at the point where I want to buy that much wire!
So what if you are like me, and need a smaller amount at a reasonable price? Or what if you just like buying from a small family owned business? Well try this place:
Unkamen Supplies : This place is da-bomb! No honestly...I love this store. They have an awesome selection of base metals -- and silver and 'silver-alternatives' including a fine silver over copper wire that I kinda love. (: Plus, have a question? Write them, and they get back to you ASAP! There shipping is also very, very reasonable which I can't say for a lot of places. Oh, and if you make chain maile? Well these folks have you covered. They also have a nice selection of other fun items including kits. They have an etsy store as well, but I like their new website --it's colorful. One word of advice, if you are looking for something specific use the tabs or the search menu. The pictures are fun for browsing but can be a bit tricky if you are looking for a specific item.
Bellomodo: This is a great all around supply place. They have all the basics and some fun stuff too. Their prices are also very reasonable especially when they have stuff on sale. PLUS, free shipping for orders over $14.99. I've shopped around and this deal is hard to beat...especially if you don't have lots to spend. (Most places don't give free shipping until $35 or more.)
Well, its just about time for me to goto sleep, BUT I want to include one more link today because this is another small shop with a wonderful owner.
Diva Designs
This lady makes AMAZING polymer clay tutorials. I have the blended marbling one and the newest one about faux turquoise looks fabulous. In fact, if my swap partner for the bead swap (see previous post) adores turquoise, I'll be buying this tutorial ASAP. (I plan to buy it down the road anyway, but that would just give me a great excuse!!! (: )
Okay...next time, I'm going to link some 'fantasy' shops! (:

Oil rebounded by nearly 3 percent on Tuesday, halting a slide to 11-year lows, but traders said they expected no more than fleeting support for crude in an oversupplied market and ahead of a forecast U.S. rate hike that could send the dollar rallying.
Brent and U.S. crude's West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rose for a second straight day on short covering, after being unable to break below a seven-year trough.
"We are seeing nothing unusual about this week's price bounce given the fact that the entire complex had become much oversold based on virtually all of our technical indicators," Jim Ritterbusch of Chicago-based oil consultancy Ritterbusch & Associates said in a note.
"Focus during the next two sessions across much of the commodity/financial space will be on tomorrows Fed announcement where we feel that a rate hike has been largely priced in."
