Vokoun starting Game 5 for Pens
Pittsburgh, PA – Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma has named veteran goaltender Tomas Vokoun the starter for Thursday's critical Game 5 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal against the New York Islanders.
Based on the way incumbent Marc-Andre Fleury began the playoffs, a goaltending change didn't seem likely, with the 2003 No. 1 overall pick making 26 saves in a 5-0 victory in the series opener.
However, he has since resembled the player that struggled mightily in last year's first round, when he surrendered a whopping 26 goals as the Penguins were ousted in six games by the Philadelphia Flyers.
Fleury was tagged by the Islanders for four goals in Games 2 and 3 before allowing six goals on 24 shots in Tuesday's setback that evened this series.
The 36-year-old Vokoun is 3-8 with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage in 11 career playoff games, all with the Nashville Predators. Game 5 will be his first postseason action since 2007.
Vokoun had a 0.90 GAA while going 3-0-0 in four games against the Islanders this season.


text: Derek Rose is an English heritage brand that has been in the Rose family since 1926, when Lou Rose started a nightwear business. His visionary plan was to develop a luxury men's underwear brand that utilizes fine quality fabrics like silk and long staple cottons. Derek Rose joined his father in the 1950s, and relaunched the business under the Derek Rose name. The brand picked up speed in the 1970s and won the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1987. Customers in more than fifty countries in the world look to this brand for the finest in luxury sleepwear. Derek's daughter Nancy Rose-Pagani became the company's Design Director in the early 1990's, having studied business and received a Fine Arts degree. She is responsible for all of the designs. Derek's son Sacha Rose came from a legal/financial background, and took on the role of Managing Director in 2005. The royal family of England, rock stars and film legends are among the elite customers that love Derek Rose nightwear for its fine quality, including robes, dressing gowns and pajamas in finest quality silks and cottons. Although the clientele of Derek Rose is famous, the sleepwear's main draw is its sophisticated elegance and fine quality, and most customers tend to value personal achievement over celebrity. Derek Rose has always used the finest of fabrics, including cashmere and woolens. Satin stripes go through a quality process that employs a 2-ply yarn in a very tiny diameter, making the garment retain color and be more durable. Other quality points include double-needle stitching, pattern-matched pockets and wide hems.HisRoom's Derek Rose underwear is made of the softest Pima cotton, an extra-long staple cotton that is extremely soft, durable and breathable, making it perfect for woven and knit boxers. The Derek Rose classic Pima cotton/spandex crewneck tee is also a classic that will meet every man's wardrobe needs.If this is a new brand for you, please be assured that it is well constructed and is made of the finest of fibers, both for durability and your everyday comfort.

For NFL prospects on the bubble, it's often better not to get picked at all than to be selected in the final rounds.
Once the Indianapolis Colts pick "Mr. Irrelevant," a title bestowed upon the last player chosen in the seven-round draft, teams will make a mad dash Saturday afternoon to sign college free agents who were on their draft boards but didn't get picked for one reason or another.
Those with multiple suitors get to salve their bruised egos by scouring rosters and picking a team that gives them the best chance to make the roster.
Every year, players prove that, for all its money and manpower, the draft is an inexact science.
"There's pros and cons to each of them," Colorado safety Ray Polk said. "If you get drafted, you get to say you got drafted. And I'm sure there's a little bit more money. But you go free agent, you get to choose a different fit or different scenarios that you can put yourself into."
Polk is trying to both avoid and follow in the footsteps of his father, Raymond Polk, a cornerback from Oklahoma State who was drafted in the 12th round by the Raiders in 1985.
He tore a hamstring in the preseason after getting traded to Tampa Bay, ending his NFL career before it began.
For the first-round busts like Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich or JaMarcus Russell, there's Dick "Night Train" Lane, John Randle and Warren Moon, three of the 14 Hall of Famers bypassed in the draft.
Former USC great Willie Wood was another. He was sidestepped in the 1960 draft because he was undersized at 160 pounds and was coming off a collarbone injury that had bothered him for 2 years. He embarked on a letter-writing campaign begging teams for a chance.
Only the Packers responded, and he repaid them by helping Green Bay win five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls while becoming one of the greatest defensive backs in league history.
The Colts have had at least one undrafted free agent make their Week 1 roster in each of the last 14 years.
Champ Bailey said you can spot an undrafted player by the big chip on his shoulder.
"I'm sure most of those guys were probably the best on their team in college," Bailey said. "That has to irk you a little bit, fuel you to want to go out there, get something done, prove yourself."
Notable active undrafted players
• Houston Texans: RB Arian Foster, Tennessee. After making one start as a rookie in 2009, he's been to three straight Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro status by rushing for 4,264 yards and 41 TDs over the last three seasons to go with a half-dozen TD catches in that span.
• New England Patriots: WR Wes Welker, Texas Tech. The 5-foot-9 receiver is a 5-time Pro Bowler and 2-time All-Pro who originally signed with San Diego, then went to Miami before starring for 6 seasons in New England, where he caught 672 passes, 37 for touchdowns.
• Pittsburgh Steelers: LB James Harrison, Kent State. The 5-time Pro Bowler and 2-time All-Pro helped the Steelers win the Super Bowl in '06 and was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in '08. Helped Steelers win another championship that season by returning Kurt Warner's pass 100 yards for a TD. Old-timers choice; CB Jack Butler, St. Bonaventure, and, more recently, DB Donnie Shell, South Carolina State.
• San Diego Chargers: TE Antonio Gates, Kent State. Was a power forward as a college basketball player and didn't play football until signing with the Chargers in 2003. One of the best tight ends in NFL history, he has 83 career TD catches and is an 8-time Pro Bowler and 3-time All-Pro.

Subject: Support HB 120
Date: Wed Feb 26 17:02:30 MST 2014
Dear Legislator I encourage you to vote for for HB120 the following reasons: Attorneys like other professionals specialize in different aspects of law and very few focus on the constitution and particularly on the principles of federalism as envisioned by our founders, and yet they are called upon to make legal decisions regularly on matters where the state and local subdivisions collide with the federal agencies. In several situations, a lack of understanding and education in this arena have resulted in stalled and slowed response in matters that are time sensitive and critical. In many instances a lack of understanding of the respective jurisdictions and powers of the States and the Federal government have led recommendations that do not recognize the governing partnership shared by federal and state. If we assume that the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution is the last word in law without questioning where the limits of the Supremacy Clause are, then the concept of limited government is completely banished. "The Federal government has expanded dramatically over the past two centuries, but it still must show that a constitutional grant of power authorized each of it's actions". (Chief Justice John Roberts) Unless the attorney has background in the history and tradition of Federalism, and the state legal team (including counties) can be unified in understanding of states rights, the trajectory of Federal usurpation will continue until the concept of limited powers will be a faint distant memory and this story will not end well. Some have suggested that this is a singling out of a single profession, this may be true but it is no different than other educational standards and employment standards we place on many state, county and municipal employees. Some suggest that this is a matter of the Utah State Bar and only they can set standards for attorneys, I contend this is an educational requirement and is certainly within the right of the state, counties, and municipalities to set these standards. The suggestion that HB 120 is unconstitutional is purely hyperbole. HB120 will provide the needed training to unify the state and counties in defending states rights against continuing Federal intrusion. "The States are separate and independent Sovereigns...Sometimes they have to act like it." (Chief Justice John Roberts) I do not understand how any legislator or any attorney would not want to learn this and understand how important it is to our state. Please pass this bill. Thank you for supporting HB120 -- Bonnie Pence email@example.com 995 N. 475 E. Orem, Utah 84097

I still see the did the yet ... the tea party ... that is ... a reform movement within the GOP ... and is ... is actually the tea party just I think ... reflects a number of thoughts and feelings within the GOP but I think what the tea party just proved ... resoundingly and was grateful and this week in Washington last week ... is that they need ... more serious leadership ... they need more strategic minded leadership ... and I think ... they have to become more aware of the facts on the ground in the area in which they're operating which by the way is a very conservative value ... it is called being realistic ... in your talking I think ... about groups like carry into action ... in freedom works just said Steve Moore on the show ... I'm talking about their role in bringing us to the shutdown brinksmanship now do you think that they reflect ... back to real America on the ground in the frustrations that they feel ... they reflect a lot of populist thinking that contains within it ... real ideas and insights for instance ... there are very interested in a position of the family in America their interest in American culture ... there are also not the best money on Wall Street ... wait ... the estimate that reflects ... America ... by e it and but you have to be ... more sophisticated about your aims and goals and if I had one bit of advice for the tea party right now I'd say stop ... consider what just happened in the past few weeks ... consider that you had a flailing in trouble ... no ... political foe ... and now ... the president Obama and you just more or less sane confirm his travels ... by diverting the attention of the American people ... from his ... unsuccessful Fein can see reaffirmed his disastrous unveiling of the reality is not just the technologies ... of of Obamacare ... so that the tea party people should sit down consider all that and then consider one whether they want to consider the being ... the name callers of the Law mosque where I know that so wonder call it the less dumb stuff yet stop that your one ... year and the people in a big drama that made me a big evolution ... so down and get along with the Dow ... thirty seconds left in the traditional and conservative caucus within the GOP ... is led by ...

I think reality will have the biggest impact on the tea party I cannot imagine the gentleman ... un named by Steve Moore a few minutes ago for the leaders of this insurrection of that is the appropriate word for it ... one not be sitting down for a few years the next few weeks in thinking ok what did we get it wrong and how we dragged the Plainfield ... now I think the Republican party writ large nice to have a few beers and think about what just happened The always although I didn't

First things first, what does it do? Essentially Chirp lets people share links via sound. If you take a photo for example, Chirp stores the photo in the Cloud and creates a 'chirp' – a sequence of 20 notes – which can be understood as a link by any device with the app. So you could send a photo from one smart phone to any number of devices within hearing distance.
The man behind the app, Patrick Bergel from University College London, told Wired magazine that 'Chirp is the first app to use strictly pitched, audible sound to share data'. Chirps can work over a recording as well – you can use Chirp to download the photo of Rory Cellan-Jones that Patrick took in an interview with the BBC.
But for sound artist Matthew Herbert, the most interesting thing about Chirp is how it affects the way we think about music.
'I think Chirp changes everything', he explains. 'Up to now, melody has just been based on an emotion or it's been a metaphor. But now melody can transmit data as well and I think that's a really profound shift in what music is. If a singer could sing the exact notes at 170 beats per minute they'd be able to sing you a PDF, which is a pretty extraordinary shift in what music can do.'
The potential uses for the app are far-reaching. Once you can transmit data between smart phones via sound, why shouldn't everything that makes a sound broadcast information? You can see why this forward-looking app might have attracted the interest of Herbert, whose new opera is inspired by the story of one of the most ambitious men in Western art – Faust.
'The great thing about Chirp is the broadcast mechanism, so you can broadcast these little melodies out into a public space and, if they've got the app open on their phone, they can receive it. So it's a very exciting way of breaking the fourth wall and allowing the audience to get extra information, extra images, extra experience.'
Which is, in fact, how the app will be used during performances of The Crackle. Audience members will be encouraged to leave their phones on for the evening (something which Herbert admits feels 'quite transgressive') and, if they wish, interact with the performance via the app.
'Phones are so ubiquitous in our lives – I leave my phone on all the time on silent. And if you're stuck in a dark room for four hours at the theatre and you've hired a babysitter you want to check that your kids are ok. So most people have their phones on. We have to find a new way of listening in the theatre, so that if a phone goes off in the most crucial part, we don't get frustrated by it.'
So if you're planning to come along, why not download the app – available from the App Store and on Google Play – onto your smartphone before the performance?
The Crackle, part of the Royal Opera House's Faustian Pack Season, runs 5–12 April in the Linbury Studio Theatre. Tickets are still available.

Beyonce + Jay-Z to Make First Post-Baby Public Appearance at 40/40 Club Reopening
That was quick! Beyonce and Jay-Z will make their first public debut tonight since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter on Jan. 7. The proud parents will celebrate the reopening of Jay-Z's famous 40/40 Club in Jay's hometown, New York City.
The Daily News reports that the club was under a whopping $10 million renovation. What improvements can patrons expect? They can watch games on enormous 165-inch screens and taken in golden baseball bats that line the walls. Would you expect anything less from the couple whose newborn sleeps in a $3,500 crib?
"I wanted to retain the feel of a clubhouse, a relaxed place to interact with friends," Jay-Z told the newspaper.
The News reports that while the 40/40 Club is open to the public, VIP memberships are available for $1,000 a month. The membership grants access to private rooms within the club. Maybe President Obama can use the club as a campaign headquarters!
Though this is the first public outing for the couple since Blue Ivy's birth, it's not the first order of business they've conducted. Jay-Z already made Billboard history with his single 'Glory,' featuring the newborn -- a testament to the fact that they never stop working!

It could be worse
Thirty-seven-year-old Jason Chuey of Salem experienced one of those accidents we all wish never happens
to us. No one was injured and the damage is barely noticeable but the embarrassment factor is
off the charts. Chuey was backing out of a parking space at the Lisbon Circle K Friday night and just
didn't see the Sheriff's cruiser at the pump. Sgt. Mike Helman was filling up and yelled when he saw
Chuey backing up, but it was over before everything sunk in. Lisbon patrolman Raymond Harr did the
report on the damage to the front passenger fender. Since it was a private property accident, no citations
were issued. Police found alcohol was not involved after a quick field test was performed. Chuey's female passenger was also not injured. Morning Journal/Patti Schaeffer

Motherwell midfielder Nicky Law flattered by Rangers' interest
Motherwell midfielder Nicky Law has confirmed he has held talks with Rangers about a move to Ibrox.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 14/05/13 10:28am
Law is set to leave Motherwell at the end of the season when his contract expires after turning down the offer of extending his stay at Fir Park.
A number of clubs are thought to be chasing Law's signature and the midfielder insists he will not rush into a decision on his future.
Law admits he is flattered by Rangers' interest and that he plans further talks with Gers boss Ally McCoist before deciding where to continue his career.
"I have talked to Ally and I was very impressed with what he had to say and his plans for Rangers and their future," Law told the Glasgow Evening Times.
"He is the only manager I have spoken to so far, although it is my intention to speak to the other clubs over the next week or so.
"This is obviously a huge decision for me, but Rangers are a massive club and the chance to play in front of 50,000 fans every other week is something you don't get with half of the Barclays Premier League and that is a huge attraction with Rangers.
"They are a massive club with a great history and the manager is absolutely determined to take them back up where they belong. But I am not going to rush things and I plan to speak to Ally again after I have spoken to the other clubs."
Law added: "Rangers are one of the biggest clubs in the world and their interest is very flattering. If I do decide to take that option, I would want to be going there with a crack at the SPL very much in mind.
"But we will see how things pan out because it is a decision I cannot afford to rush. I am very lucky to have someone like Stuart McCall, who has been through all of this before, on hand to help and advise me.
"The next move for me will be the biggest of my career and I must get it right."

GOP 'rock star' named 'Woman of the Year'
Honor goes to God-fearing, gun-loving champion of Constitution
WASHINGTON – For her extraordinary dedication to America's founding principles and steadfast defense of the Constitution, WND has named Rep. Michele Bachmann 2012 "Woman of the Year."
Bachmann is a gutsy, pro-life fiscal conservative who dared to vote against raising the debt ceiling. She's a God-fearing, gun-loving advocate of tax cuts and domestic oil drilling – and has proven to be one of Obamacare's worst nightmares.
Born in Waterloo, Iowa, to Norwegian immigrants, Bachmann grew up in a Democrat family, but became a Republican in college. Bachmann, now a four-term congresswoman and chairwoman of the Tea Party Caucus, began her political career in 2000 upon winning a seat in the Minnesota state Senate. From there, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2006.
Just last year, she released "Core of Conviction: My Story," an inspiring book that reveals why Bachmann believes ordinary people can take on the establishment and win.
Find out why Michele Bachmann, WND's 2012 "Woman of the Year," is a hero to so many conservatives. The titanium Michele Bachmann – $4.95 today.
Since her ascension to the House, she has been a persistent defender of the American way of life, championing America's Christian heritage and the values of limited government.
WND's "Woman of the Year" award is presented to the woman who "did the most to represent goodness, womanliness, perseverance and character" and "had an impact on wider American, and global opinion."
Runners-up for the honor included Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer; Reggie Littlejohn, founder and president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers; Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany and party leader of the Christian Democratic Union; and Phyllis Schlafly, a guiding light conservative movement and recipient of WND's 2012 "Lifetime Achievement Award."
WND Editor Joseph Farah has said of Bachmann, "She is extremely smart, articulate, sincere, honest, principled and maintains unshakable core convictions about preserving America's heritage of constitutionally limited government and the rule of law rather than the rule of men."
Bachmann has been a favorite target of the political left. Though she was once dubbed "The Queen of Rage" by the left-leaning and now-defunct Newsweek magazine, WND Managing Editor David Kupelian said nothing could be further from the truth.
"I remember when Newsweek did that hit piece on her," Kupelian said, "plastering a maniacal 'evil eye' photo of her on the cover and headlining it 'The Queen of Rage.' All I could think of was: How ridiculous, that's exactly the opposite of reality. Michele Bachmann is one of the most gracious and genuinely caring people I know. And caring for a couple dozen foster children, as she and husband Marcus have done (not to mention five of their own) takes love – not rage."
Reflections on 2012 Congress
In an exclusive interview with WND, Bachmann reflected on her past year in Congress and shared her hopes for the nation's future.
"Most people will say the biggest story of 2012 was the president's re-election," Bachmann said, looking back at this year's most memorable moments. "I actually think the most consequential story of the year, and the one with the most enduring impact, happened on June 28 when the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, voted 5-4 to uphold Obamacare."
When she witnessed the Court's decision on Obamacare, Bachmann said she was dumbfounded.
"I was inside the Supreme Court when the decision was passed down," she told WND. "I was stunned. The highest court in the land had just ruled that it was constitutional for the federal government to mandate that Americans purchase a particular service. The implications will be felt for years to come – higher premiums, longer wait times and more government intrusion are just the foretaste."
Bachmann has been a relentless warrior for conservative values, waging combat against the federal health-care takeover.
"Since the beginning, I have been on the forefront of the fight against Obamacare," she said. "When the bill was being debated, I urged Americans from across the county to join me and other members of Congress in a House Call on Congress to demand that government take its hands off our health care. More than 40,000 Americans responded and came to Washington, D.C. And hours after Obamacare's passage, I introduced the very first piece of legislation to repeal the president's health-care law in full."
In fact, Obama's signature legislation played a role in Bachmann's decision to run for president. She led the race for the GOP presidential nomination in August last year after she won the Iowa straw poll. But in January, Bachmann abandoned her campaign for president after placing last among six Republican presidential hopefuls in the Iowa caucuses.
"I also ran for president, in part, for the purpose of repealing Obamacare because I knew President Obama's socialized medicine worldview meant Americans would be forced by government dictate to spend more, but would get less for health care," she said.
Bachmann lamented that the fight for Obamacare appears mostly out of Congress' hands after the 2012 election, and now rests upon one of the various lawsuits pending against Obama's plan.
"Unless a subsequent Supreme Court challenge – like the one from Liberty Counsel or the one from the founder of Domino's Pizza – succeeds, our only hope is for a full, clean sweep politically at the ballot box in a future election to turn away Obamacare. But that would be four years away, sadly, which is why I repeated throughout the presidential cycle, 'All our chips are on November.'"
However, she noted that the ultimate decision lies in the hands of the American people.
"Our history is to innovate and change," she said. "We will see if the American people succumb to this obvious disaster or if they'll fight back. I fought back with everything that was in me for four years. If we work together on this project, we may have a chance."
On a more personal level, Bachmann also takes great pride in her work helping foster youth in 2012.
"I was extremely proud to help create the Congressional Caucus of Foster Youth this year along with three of my House colleagues," she told WND, adding, "As a foster mom to 23 children, this is an issue near and dear to my heart and it's important to raise awareness about the hundreds of thousands of children across the country that do not have forever families."
Reflections on 2012 election
Bachmann's House re-election campaign was considered by many observers to be one of the most difficult campaigns of the season.
She won re-election by only 3,000 votes, less than 1 percent more than her opponent, and she was out spent by a ratio of 12:1.
"I stand strongly for conservative values," Bachmann said. "I am always one of Nancy Pelosi's top targets. This time around was no different. Thankfully, I was able to fight back with the support of grassroots activists across the country. I'm proud that my campaign had an average donation of just $45."
Bachmann blasted the mainstream media for its extreme left-leaning bias during the election this year, accusing "the full-on gale force winds of a united mainstream media" of "working to tear down every bona fide conservative and working to boost the liberal opposition."
She added, "America's mainstream academic, media and cultural gatekeepers seem to speak in a lockstep 'diversity,' which abides only one view. And anyone who deviates from that party line becomes an object of ridicule and scorn. Those who cry the loudest about a lack of civility in public discourse are often the very ones who practice the least tolerance."
Warning of growing Muslim Brotherhood influence
Bachmann prides herself on her record of standing up to not only Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Democrats, but to her own party when it runs afoul of her principles.
"I stand on principle, not party," she told WND in October. "I work together with people. I can accomplish things and get them done. But it's also important when you see that your own party is going wrong to be able to stand up and take them on."
In one high-profile case of Bachmann's refusal to toe the party line, Democrats and some GOP lawmakers recently rebuked her and four other House Republicans – Trent Franks, R-Ariz., Thomas Rooney, R-Fla., Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Louie Gohmert, R-Texas – for their public denunciation of the Obama administration's acceptance of the Muslim Brotherhood and questioning the ties of some administration figures to the radical organization. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's close aide worked under a known terror sponsor.
WND senior staff reporter Aaron Klein has detailed Clinton Chief of Staff Huma Abedin's ties to the Saudi-financed Islamic think tank, the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, alongside Abdullah Omar Naseef – who is connected to al-Qaida.
Andrew McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York who is now with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, explained to WND why the reaction to the five House members has been so severe on both sides of the aisle.
"This is not just an Obama administration regard for the Muslim Brotherhood," he said. "This is a bipartisan, ruling-class in Washington perception of the Muslim Brotherhood. … What's happening is, the five Republican conservative members of the House who raised these questions are basically holding up the mirror to the disaster that's happening before our very eyes."
Preserving America's values
In a somber warning to the American people, Bachmann declared that the future of America's greatness is on the line.
"The American age is about a set of ideals and values," she said, "and these ideas are grounded in a sincere adherence to a biblical faith which many throughout history have staked their lives upon, and were evidenced in our founding political documents like the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance, the Constitution and state constitutions, among others."
However, Bachmann warned, "Today, a critical mass of American cultural gatekeepers not only reject those values, they mock them. The real question is whether there remains today a critical mass of Americans willing to contend for those values in the public marketplace of ideas. That is a question each of us must answer, but for the sake of the memory of prior generations, and for the sake of the next, I hope the answer from each of us is a resounding yes!"
'It's about the people at home'
Just before the November election, Bachmann urged new GOP House members coming to Washington, D.C., to look inside their own hearts and evaluate their strength of character before ever setting foot in the halls of Congress.
"I think they need to know who they are before they come to Washington," she said. "They need to make sure that they aren't more interested in moving up the political ladder than they are pleasing the people back home. I think they would be shocked if they realized that it takes less than two months for the average person to cave."
Bachmann said lawmakers are constantly tempted by incentives to "vote in ways they would never in a million years vote on their own."
"They need to make a decision: Are they going to have a backbone?" she asked. "Are they going to be able to look at themselves in the mirror? Are they going to be able to go home and campaign after the election the same way that they campaigned before the election? That's a decision that has to be made in your heart before you get to Washington. And then you stand on it."
Bachmann also warned new lawmakers to evaluate their friendships.
"Your most important friends are the people who go into a voting booth and vote for you," she said. "That's what you need to remember. First, answer to your God and answer to your conscience. But you've got to remember that it's not about D.C. It's about the people at home."

Suppliers´ margins have decreased for the last couple of years, due to higher material and labour costs, rising competition and pressure on sales prices.
- The insolvency rate remains low for the time being
- On-going consolidation process in the supplier segment
- Potential risks for smaller players are high
According to the German Automotive Association VDA, the production of German passenger cars again increased in 2015, by 1.3% to 15.1 million units. Domestic production increased 1.9%, while production abroad rose 1.0%. Turnover of the whole German automotive industry (producers and car part suppliers) increased 10% year-on-year. In the period January-August 2016 domestic car production grew 2%, while new car registrations in Germany rose 6%. This underlines the continued robust performance of the German automotive industry.
German automotive suppliers are still making good profits and, in general, their solvency and liquidity are robust. However, margins have decreased for the last couple of years, due to increased material and labour costs, rising competition and pressure on sales prices. At the same time, suppliers have to invest in engineering/production branches overseas in order to be close to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) that have relocated abroad. High capital expenditures in research and development are necessary to stay ahead of competition in new trends and technologies, i.e. electric motors, connected driving, autonomous cars. In order to stem necessary investments, increasingly size matters. Therefore, the concentration process in the German suppliers segment is on-going, while dedicated technology companies are entering the automotive market.
Given the still benign business outlook for the automotive sector, our underwriting stance remains reasonably relaxed, as it was in 2014 and 2015, especially for larger-sized, well-established suppliers, who usually have good access to capital markets and face a very low default risk.
That said, there are also a large number of small companies in the supplier subsector, which could face higher business and credit risks in the future, due to low leverage in negotiations with OEMs or if OEMs stop ordering from them (delisting). At the same time, competition is fierce in some segments. More than 50% of chassis manufacturers and electronic component providers generate revenues of less than EUR 50 million. Many small businesses have difficulties funding the investment necessary for further growth or to climb up the value chain.
While the current performance of the German car industry is still solid, any deterioration in economic performance and consumer sentiment would have direct and immediate negative effects on automotive sales, hitting mainly smaller suppliers. Given the structural vulnerability of those players, we rate the German automotive sector as "Fair".

Cordova Ridge Shops, a Class A retail center on North Houston Levee Road, is facing foreclosure after its Nashville-based owner defaulted on a $3.3 million loan, according to a first-run foreclosure notice in the Aug. 1 Daily News.
Market Land Co., working as Cordova Ridge Shops LLC, bought the property in 2002 and financed it through PNC Bank in May 2004. The loan was assigned to – and is held by – Wells Fargo Bank.
Cordova Ridge is slated to be sold Aug. 23 by substitute trustees Nelwyn Inman and Robert F. Tom.
Built in 2002, the 21,832-square-foot, L-shaped strip shopping center is situated on 2.1 acres on the east side of Houston Levee south of Macon Road. It currently has six empty bays totaling a little more than 9,000 square feet, according to Market Land's website.
The center, appraised by the Shelby County Assessor at $2.2 million, is attached to a 54,000-square-foot Kroger that is not owned by Market Land and is not included in the sale.
The Nashville-based company owns two other Memphis-area properties: Appling Crossing Shops at Appling Road and U.S. 70 in Bartlett, and Arlington Center at U.S. 70 and Airline Road in Arlington.

Two years after launching daily nonstop service at Memphis International Airport, the Air Canada regional carrier Jazz will drop the nonstop service to Toronto effective Sept. 18.
Air Canada spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick said the decision was a financial one.
Jazz Air LP had one daily flight, according to June figures from the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority.
The end of the service comes at about the same time a new round of cuts in service by Delta Air Lines begin. Memphis International is a hub for Delta.
Air Canada began the twice daily nonstop service year round between Memphis and Toronto in May 2010. Memphis was one of seven U.S. markets Air Canada was entering with the move. When the service began, Air Canada was using 75-seat jets, which is the new preferred smallest passenger capacity jets many airlines are moving to for their regional service. But the flights now use 50-seat jets, which carriers are abandoning. Air Canada still flies the 50-seaters and has announced no plans to abandon them.
Memphis International had Memphis to Toronto service with Northwest Airlines. But the direct service was dropped when Northwest merged with Delta.
Jazz Aviation LP operates passenger air service on behalf of Air Canada.
In the last month, Jazz is one of the carriers civic leaders have talked about trying to get to increase service here.

CK's Coffee Shops has closed 10 of its 12 existing locations, WREG reports.
The shops are owned by Jerry Vela and Randy Gross, who are facing "money problems," according to the report.
The Daily News reported in March that Vela and Gross, brothers-in-law and Chicago natives, signed a five-year lease for 1,390 square feet of the existing 4,900-square-foot Old Medina Market Gas Station at 2800 Old Medina Road. The deal marked the duo's expansion into Jackson, Tenn.
The Daily News was unable to reach Vela and Gross for comment.
WREG reports that two CK's locations will remain open. Those include a CK's at Poplar Avenue and North Evergreen Street and a CK's on East Shelby Drive near Millbranch Road.

Shelby County Commissioners elected Republican Mike Ritz the new chairman of the body Monday, July 30, for a one-year term that begins Sept. 1. Democrat Melvin Burgess was chosen as chairman pro tempore for the same one-year term.
Ritz's selection came on the seventh round of voting. The seven rounds followed 21 rounds of voting two weeks ago in which no candidate got the seven votes necessary to claim the chairmanship.
It took 12 rounds for Burgess to get the majority necessary.
Ritz will succeed Sidney Chism as chairman. Burgess will succeed Wyatt Bunker as chairman pro tempore.
The commission, meanwhile, delayed the selection of a new chief administrator to replace Steve Summerall, who recently retired. The chief administrator oversees the commission office.
Commissioners are considering a change in the body's rules, which would allow the chief administrator instead of the commission to appoint the deputy administrator.
Meanwhile, a final try by the commission to approve a redistricting plan on third and final reading fell three votes short of the nine-vote majority needed to approve it. The plan is the same one approved and ordered put in place last month by Chancellor Arnold Goldin. It changes the commission to a set of 13 single-member districts.
Some on the commission wanted what amounted to a ratification vote to prevent any future legal challenges of the county charter's requirement of a nine-vote majority to pass an ordinance on third and final reading. The charter requirement conflicts with state law, which requires only a seven-vote simple majority.
In his ruling on the point, Goldin specified that he was not ruling on anything but the redistricting plan.
The commission also approved on the second of three readings the new Unified Development Code after voting down an amendment that would have tightened conditions on the administrative deviation process that is part of the new code.
The president of Mallory Alexander International Logistics is the new chairman of the Regional Logistics Council of the Greater Memphis Chamber.
Neely Mallory III will serve a two-year term in the post, succeeding attorney Arnold Perl. Mallory was appointed by chamber chairman Larry Cox.
The council markets the area's infrastructure and locations for moving goods and services and it is made up of professionals from the logistics industry.
Mallory Alexander is one of the largest third-party logistics organizations in the country with a global reach.
The old Shelby County Fire Engine Company 60 is open again for service starting Wednesday, Aug. 1.

Engine Company 60 will serve an area of 4,000 homes and businesses in northeast Shelby County. Virtually all of them are within 2.5 miles. The remaining 4 percent are within five miles.
EdR, a Memphis-based developer, owner and manager of collegiate housing, has announced the addition of several key executives: Scott Barton, vice president of acquisitions; Liz Keough, vice president and general counsel; Randy Simpson, vice president of information technology; and James Kenner, director of interior design.
Barton will help grow EdR's portfolio of collegiate housing and manage leasing efforts for retail at all properties. He previously was at CB Richard Ellis Memphis LLC, where he was senior vice president of retail brokerage services.
Keough, as a director with Martin, Tate, Morrow & Marston PC, has been involved with EdR for the past eight years and worked with the team of lawyers that helped transform it from a private company into a real estate investment trust in 2005. She has experience in a number of areas that support EdR's service lines, such as commercial real estate transactions, developing and negotiating contracts, joint venture agreements, litigation and tax incentives.
Simpson came to EdR from Diversified Trust, where he served as vice president of information services. At EdR, he manages the company's corporate technology department.
Kenner brings creativity and experience in commercial interior design, student housing renovations and new construction as well as project management to EdR. Most recently he was a partner at Inter-Logic Design in Memphis.

Dropping VAT relief would not harm smaller traders, says business group
Closing a relief which allows larger firms to move off-shore in order to pay no VAT on items valued at £18 or less would benefit rather than hit smaller businesses, it has been claimed.
The Forum of Private Business (FPB) has said that arguments in defence of the Low Value Consignment Relief (LVCR) are wide of mark if they imply that small traders would suffer should the relief be scrapped.
LVCR, which is a perfectly legitimate tax break, was introduced almost three decades ago as an administrative relief designed to prevent perishable goods from spoiling in Channel Island warehouses.
Under the Low Value Consignment Relief, goods valued at less than £18 can be sent to the UK from outside of the EU without any VAT charge.
This has led to the practice of some larger firms opening warehouses on the Channel Islands. Items are transferred in bulk to the Islands before being re-packaged as orders for individual customers and sent back to the UK.
Smaller firms have complained that they do not have the resources to create similar, off-shore distribution centres or to compete on price.
Supporters of the LVCR say that it helps to keep consumer prices lower and to reduce red tape. But the FPB, which has been campaigning for a change in the law, counters by arguing that the LVCR makes the tax system unfair and distorts competition, hitting small high street shops and online retailers.
Although legitimate, an EU directive means that the LVCR cannot be used if it leads to tax abuses and skews competition. The FPB believes that it does both.
The Treasury has agreed to examine the tax break and the issue will be addressed in the forthcoming Budget.
In order to tackle the problem, the FPB wants the Government to adopt one of a number of strategies. These could include challenging schemes and company structures designed to allow circular shipping of UK/EU goods as abusive tax avoidance arrangements; lowering the LVCR threshold; removing mail order goods from the relief on a country-by-country, product-by-product basis; or removing entire products from the relief.
Jane Bennett, the FPB's head of campaigns, said: "The very notion that this Channel Islands VAT loophole benefits small businesses is completely wrong.
"The story we have been told is vastly different and is backed by evidence - the abuse of Low Value Consignment Relief has been a major factor in the rapid decline in small high street shops, as well as private online retailers.
"The Government simply must act in the upcoming Budget to close this unfair, anti-competitive VAT avoidance loophole. The economic future of our villages, towns and cities is at stake and, given the hundreds of millions in tax revenue lost each year by HMRC, it is mystifying that it has taken until now for something to be done."
Ms Bennett added: "The argument that getting rid of this tax loophole would be bad for consumers is a grossly misleading one. This is about creating a level playing field which will ultimately benefit consumers by increasing choice and competition."

Lesson 216
Parts of the Sentence - Verbals - Noun Infinitives
An infinitive is to plus a verb form. It can be used as a noun. Examples: to be, to see, to be seen, to be eaten.
The noun infinitive can be a subject (To eat is fun.); a direct object (I like to eat.); a predicate nominative (A fun thing is to eat.); an appositive (My hope, to travel, never happened.); an object of a preposition (I want nothing but to save.)
Noun infinitives can have with them direct objects, predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives or modifiers to form what is called a infinitive phrase. Example: To eat solid foods is hard for babies. "To eat" is the noun infinitive used as the subject of the verb is, and it has its own direct object "foods" with the adjective "solid," which together make up the infinitive phrase "to eat solid foods" serving as the subject of the sentence.
Instructions: Find the noun infinitives in the following sentences and tell how they are used.
1. To skate was his only desire.
2. I hope to enjoy retirement.
3. The team's desire is to win.
4. Most people want to marry.
5. Their terrible goal, to kill, failed.
--For answers scroll down.
1. to skate = subject
2. to enjoy = direct object
3. to win = predicate nominative
4. to marry = direct object
5. to kill = appositive

Navit: a car navigation system with routing engine.
Navit is a car navigation system with routing engine.
It's modular design is capable of using vector maps of various formats for routing and rendering of the displayed map. It's even possible to use multiple maps at a time.
The GTK+ or SDL user interfaces are designed to work well with touch screen displays. Points of Interest of various formats are displayed on the map.
The current vehicle position is either read from gpsd or directly from NMEA GPS sensors.
The routing engine not only calculates an optimal route to your destination, but also generates directions and even speaks to you using speechd.
Navit currently speaks 24 languages :
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Chinese (Hong Kong)
- Czech
- Danish
- Dutch
- English
- Finnish
- French
- German
- Hebrew
- Italian
- Japanese
- Norwegian Bokmal
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Romanian
- Russian
- Slovak
- Slovenian
- Spanish
- Swedish
- Telugu
- Thai
- Turkish

Post subject: navit 2 pet file
This is very helpful, but I still have a few steps to complete. I have become rather adept now at locating and downloading library files that I need, and when I used your .pet file, while I got an successful install message, this time I also got a list of missing dependencies that the Petget package manager does not know how to locate.
For me they are: (It would be nice to be able to cut and paste out of the package manager message window, but no luck there!)
gpsd.so is missing libgps.so.17
libraphics_qt_qpainter.so is mssing libQtCore.so.4
libgraphics_sdl.so is missing libSDL-1.2.so.0 libSDL_image-1.2.so.0
libspeech_speech_dispatcher.so is missing libspeechd.so.2
So once I find and copy these files, I should be in business!
I will keep you posted.

Actually I've recompiled it so it doesn't need python, gpsd, SDL & QT. Use the package manager to uninstall, then try the version I've just uploaded. I've left in libspeechd though.
Let me know whether this works.

Post subject: navit - next
Navit is working! Now I have to figure out the config file. I still get the list of missing files in the dependencies, and the GPS device I plug in lights up, but there doesn't seem to be any way to control the GPS device from within Navit, so I am off to see what I need to do to get a default location in the United States and how to connect a delorme earthmate LT-40.

I got the basics working without your new compile. I went to get it, and the original link no longer works. Did you change the name of the file? I would like to download the newer version but can't get to it.

What sensors? Where can I get them? How do they connect to the computer?

Post subject: sensors
You can buy several models of GPS sensor that connect via USB. I have a DeLorme LT-40, but another good one that is even cheaper is the globalsat BU-353 gps. You can get one for under $40 at
Any that are NMEA compliant should work, but I haven't tried any yet, just going off of what I have read.

Post subject: Navit compiled
I was able to find and install the i486 version you compiled. This seems to work. I am now wrestling with gpsd and with the .bin map formats to get some map files loaded that will allow me to use the software. Based on my progress so far, this may take me a while.
Thanks for all your help.

Post subject: gpsd & Navit
I have a new problem. I was successful in finding a few locations to load map data for Michigan, which is where I live. I was able to get the maps included in the xml config file, they show up in the program, and I can select them, but the screen now is just a blank yellow background. I thought I had either not loaded the maps correctly or broke something, but after some reading it appears that the software is looking for a location in order to orient on the map. So I went to get gpsd working, which is the component that allows all gps devices to be accessed by applications.
Here is my dilemma: puppy is apparently built off of a small subset of the clibrary that a full debian installation is composed of. I reached that conclusion because I noticed I am missing some files that are required for gpsd to work, and the library package that will install them, libc6_2.9-23_amd64.deb says when I use the debian installer that it will overwrite several files (the ones it is over writing are not the ones I am missing obviously). I trashed my system once over writing on a package install, so I tried just installing the other ones that I was missing, but I still could not get it to work, so I did install it and my system promptly stopped working. Since it didn't save, a hard reboot restored me back to where I was, but how do I go about getting the files I need? Do I have to unpack a package and move them individually? Is there an easier (lazier) way? Maybe some of the files are not really necessary?
The message I get when I run gpsd now is:
line 41: start-stop-daemon: command not found
In the hope that I am missing just this one utility, I am not in the process of trying to download & install it. If this is the wrong direction, let me know!
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Did you re-compile Navit to use gpsd, as the one I posted above isn't linked to gpsd. It's a simple matter to recompile it to use gpsd...but, not having any gps devices, it's difficult for me to ascertain whether it's working properly. Have you looked at the gpsd
man page?
Also, have you thought of querying the developers of Navit with the propblems you're experiencing? Most developers are very helpful, and eager for any feedback etc.

Post subject: GlobalSat ND-100 USB Stick GPS
Hi all! Really nice forum - thanks for all the helpful info.
I just got a usb GPS stick for $40 off of ebay. I have an eeePC with puppy on it and I downloaded muggins' Navit it compile along with the other speech thing. I haven't dug through the Navit config file yet, but wanted to make sure of something before I go on:
With muggins .pet compile of Navit, I do not need to download/compile gpsd, correct?
Just preliminary testing, GPS does work on a Win xp laptop, and Navit runs on the puppy laptop, but no data transferred from the GPS. GPS has aquired position per the status leds, but position is listed as 0's. I am sure if I dig into the documentation of the config file, the answer is there.
Thanks muggins for the .pet package!

Post subject: Navit pet package
Muggins can confirm, but I believe his compile is done without GPSD, as he doesn't have a GPS device. In order to get Navit to work with a GPS, you will need to have a Navit compile that looks for GPSD. I am working on that now, but haven't succeeded yet. When I do, I will put something here.
When you get to the Navit config file, at the top it has a couple options for screen layout, including the ability to use a touch screen (another goal of mine, but a ways off yet), and other settings.
If you go about 340 lines down into the file you will find the place where the map images are made available. The wiki for Navit has good instructions on getting map files, and you can basically copy the format of the lines you see for the example map, then copy the xml file with the same name as the .bin file in the maps directory, and rename it to match your map .bin file (change the contents accordingly as well.)
You will then see your maps along with the example ones listed in the Navit menu, where you can select to include them.

GeePS & DavidM348,
ve recompiled the Navit to include Gpsd & speechdispatcher
libraries, and emailed to you both. I must confess to
being a bit bamboozled as to what the app really needs to get
going...probably because I have no GPS device! Could you see whether this actually works. If it does I'll replace the
one on the puppy site. When I run navit from the commandline it reports:
# navit
navit:convert_to_attrs:failed to create attribute 'cursor' with value
vehicle_gpsd:vehicle_gpsd_try_open:gps_open failed for
'gpsd://localhost'. Retrying in 10 seconds. Have you started gpsd?
map_rect_new_textfile unable to open textfile
map_rect_new_textfile unable to open textfile /root/.navit/bookmark.txt
navit:main:Using '/usr/share/navit/navit.xml'
I don't know about the line about "Have you started gpsd?". There must be some configuration option, or maybe start gpsd in the background?
Also the attached speechd .pet is compiled with support for espeak.
Again no idea whether it works or not.
The speechdispatcher .pet also needs the attached dotconf .pet.

Post subject: Navit compile
As you had suggested earlier, I tried to get in contact with someone involved with the Navit project. I created a xchat ID and connected with CP15, who provided me with some specific directions to compile a tarball. Because I had already tried the SVN download and configure path, he told me I needed to delete the Navit directory in my root before using the tarball method. I can't delete it! I get an input output error, and when I look at dmesg, I see several attempt to access beyond end of device. I downloaded and used fsck on the unmounted drive, which said it corrected several errors, but I still can't get rid of the navit directory. I will check my email and try your most recent compile, but I would like to know how to do the compile myself, however if I can't get rid of the navit directory, I can't proceed. I tried renaming it and burying it in another folder, but those options won't work either. Any ideas?
Thanks for all your work on the navit compile. If it works, I will definitely let you know.

|1891 Census Fanny McGinnis & Daughter Delia
Granted this census has been available online for some time now on Ancestry.com but that requires payment. LAC's is free. And the image quality is outstanding. But what I like best is the detailed explanation of all the markings on a typical 1891 census page.
Here's an example to show you what I mean - I've found all my family in Ontario in the 1891 census years ago. Some I found the old-fashioned way, by scrolling through screen after screen of microfilmed records (unindexed). Some I found on the Ancestry.com website.
But after reading LAC's explanation of columns on the 1891 census page, I realized that for all my experience researching, I'd overlooked a very nice bit of information about each head of household. On the LAC page, near the bottom is a small tidbit of abbreviations used on the 1891 census. The one I never knew before was this one:
Residential dwellings were described using letters and numbers such as "S2/6" for a stone house, two stories, six rooms or "W ½" for a wooden house, one story, two rooms.I'd see these obscure markings but had no idea what they meant. I read them in my mind as a letter followed by a fraction (W 1/2 for example) Think of all the cool and interesting extra details I'd missed - namely the kind of house an ancestor lived in (wooden vs stone, the number of stories) and how many rooms were in the home.
My readers probably know me well enough to realize I spent a happy half day looking up 1891 census records for my ancestors again! I found that my 2nd great-grandmother Fanny McGinnis who was living on her own at the age of 60 (which I already knew) lived in a wooden one-storey house with four rooms. Her widowed daughter lived next door with her four young children in a wooden one-storey home with five rooms. That kind of detail may seem inconsequential but to me it adds more to the shadowy picture I have built in my mind of Fanny and her life. I'm trying to imagine the rooms - how big or small they were and what was in each.
|1891 Census Alex McGinnis & Family
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that. It was around this time that Alex and his wife Harriet separated and now I'm wondering if crowded living conditions and perhaps poverty were a factor in that separation.
You can search the 1891 census online. I plan on looking for more ancestors this afternoon.

Report: North Korea's Kim Jong Un Handed Out Copies of Mein Kampf
by JNS.org
JNS.org – North Korea's enigmatic leader Kim Jong-un gave out copies of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to North Korean leaders during his birthday celebrations last January, according to a report on Monday by New Focus International, a website that covers news from North Korea.
"Kim Jong-un gave a lecture to high-ranking officials, stressing that we must pursue the policy of Byungjin (Korean for 'in tandem') in terms of nuclear and economic development. Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in WWI, Kim Jong-un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked that practical applications be drawn from it," a source in North Korea told New Focus International.
Mein Kampf, which was published during the mid-1920s by future German leader Adolf Hitler, is an autobiography as well as a political manifesto that is deeply controversial for its racist content, and later for its historical consequences.
According to New Focus International, Kim Jong-un studied Hitler closely while at boarding school in Switzerland. During his birthday celebrations, Kim Jong-un reportedly highlighted sports as the secret behind Germany's unity and praised Hitler's policies that encouraged the German people to have more children.

Ksafir needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 5 designs submitted by 2 freelance designers.
Spencer Trask
This is a two-pronged assignment. We are in the process of building some marketing materials and need some creative brainpower to help us graphically communicate the power of a network of individuals. Spencer Trask is a private equity organization with powerful networks of high net worth individuals and we need to be able to show how the power of a network contributes to the success of our portfolio companies.
1. The first graphic element we need should reflect a "global network" as discussed above (vector art file preferred). i.e., through our investments, we connect people on a global scale who can help solve real-world problems in real-time.
2. The second is a smaller, less complex network graphic that can be edited to fit the faces of some of our officers and investors to show the power of the network we have already built. i.e., our network of existing investors are able to engage with the companies they invest in and participate in supporting company's mission beyond just a financial contribution. Through direct investor involvement, new investors are introduced to our work which increases the size of that network and the company's ability to succeed. That enthusiasm will sometimes spill into new investments...and the network continues to grow.
Our target audiences are accredited investors and "could-be" accredited investors. These are typically considered "high net worth individuals."
The graphics should look and feel as "smart" as our investments.
Please use only original artwork (no cartoons or stock images).
