Tripoli: NATO warned it will bomb
civilian facilities if Muammar Gaddafi`s forces use them to
launch attacks, as the UN said Libya`s warring parties remain
at daggers drawn on ways to end the conflict.
The Western military alliance made it clear it would
target facilities including factories, warehouses and
agricultural sites being used by loyalist troops.
The warning came yesterday, a day after foreign
reporters were taken to Zliten, east of Tripoli, by government
minders and shown what they were told was the remains of a
clinic hit by a NATO bomb that killed seven people.
Alliance military spokesman Colonel Roland Lavoie said
in Brussels that in recent days NATO had hit a concrete
factory near Brega where regime forces were hiding and firing
multi-barrel rocket launchers.
"Pro-Gaddafi forces are increasingly occupying
facilities which once held a civilian purpose," Lavoie told
reporters in a video conference from the operation`s
headquarters in Naples, Italy.
"By occupying and using these facilities the regime
has transformed them into military installations from which it
commands and conducts attacks, causing them to lose their
formerly protected status and rendering them valid and
necessary military objectives for NATO," Lavoie said.
Earlier, a NATO official said the alliance had "no
evidence" that civilian facilities were hit in air raids near
Zliten on Monday.
Baghdadi Mahmudi, the Libyan premier, reiterated
yesterday that Gaddafi`s departure is "not up for discussion,"
after meeting UN special envoy to Libya Abdul Ilah al-Khatib.
"The departure from power of Colonel Gaddafi is not up
for discussion," he told a news conference after British
Foreign Secretary William Hague demanded on Monday that
Gaddafi step down but said he might be allowed to stay in the
"With all due respect to the British foreign minister,
it is not up to him to take decisions on behalf of the Libyan
Khatib in a statement issued yesterday in New York
said the two parties to the Libya crisis "remain deeply
divided on how to reach a political solution."
Khatib this week visited the rebel capital Benghazi in
Libya`s east as well as the capital Tripoli.

"The trade fair in Shanghai is a brilliant opportunity for food producers to discuss the creation of a perfectly formed and fit-for-purpose product. We see a growing trend for using less virgin material for plastic packaging, and the TWP solutions are ideal in this connection due to their sustainable qualities. With the tools and know-how from RPC Ace we can accommodate virtually any request."

It is not too early for fans to hope that N.F.L. owners and players experience an Ebenezer Scrooge moment of enlightenment and see the error of their greedy ways. Otherwise, this season is going to be the last one for some time.
If only Art Rooney, Bert Bell, Tim Mara and George Halas could part the curtain of time and remind the current crew of Football Seasons Past. Let owners and players alike see how they are pushing aside the wisdom of those early days, when compromise and cooperation shaped the league into the success it is today.
Players are resigned to a season-long lockout when the current contract ends next March. The owners have negotiated lockout insurance with television networks and have hired Bob Batterman, who directed negotiations for the N.H.L. during its 2004-5 lockout. Union officials, in turn, have urged players to prepare for a season without pay.
If and when the N.F.L. emerges from labor conflict, the competitive balance that has made it the most successful professional sports league in United States history will probably disappear.
Two issues loom over the negotiations. First, the owners and the players association disagree over what percentage of league revenue should go to the players and whether a salary cap should remain. The current system has fostered competitive balance and increased the average salary to about $2 million from $628,000 in 1994. But owners contend that the players receive too much league revenue.
The second issue is how owners will divide their share of $8 billion in annual revenue, especially the broadcast, merchandising and corporate sponsorship dollars they now split equally. The league recently ended a supplemental revenue-sharing pact that reallocated $100 million annually from higher- to lower-revenue franchises.Continue reading the main story
The era of labor-management stability is disintegrating just as owners are falling out with one another. Some clubs, including Jerry Jones's Cowboys and Daniel Snyder's Redskins, bring in more than $100 million more per season than other teams. They want to end revenue sharing and salary caps, maximize profits from their television markets and stadiums, and make their teams into football's equivalent of the Yankees or the Red Sox.
Without the substantial revenue sharing and salary caps now in place, the league may start to mirror Major League Baseball. Deep-pocketed teams will monopolize postseason play, salary disparities between the players will grow and a dozen teams will start each season with little hope of reaching the playoffs.
The N.F.L. is turning its back on exactly what brought it success: a win-win outcome to labor negotiations and a one-for-all ethos among the owners. For decades after the league's inception in 1920, it struggled. The Steelers' Rooney once said: "The pro game wasn't even a hop, skip and a jump from semipro ball. Maybe just a hop."
The league almost folded when several franchises collapsed during the Depression, but a core of owners stuck together. They adopted measures to ensure that the weakest teams would prosper so that the league could succeed.
In 1936, the owners equalized the distribution of players through a collegiate draft, allowing the team with the worst record to pick first, and the best team last. "People come to see a competition," said Mara, who knew that a draft would bolster other clubs at his Giants' expense, but that one-sided games were bad for business.
Owners then stabilized the finances of smaller-market teams. In 1947, when clubs depended on their game-day revenue, the league awarded visiting teams 40 percent of the gate, protecting weaker teams at home and helping them on the road. It also gave teams that finished poorly easier schedules for the next season.
Though the owners have held the whip hand ever since they recognized the union in 1957, they have gradually conceded more to the players. By the 1994 season, the owners and the union agreed to a salary cap calculated as a percentage of designated revenue (about 60 percent last season). Each team could spend up to a designated amount on salaries each season based on the size of that pool, but not below a smaller figure. For 2009, the final capped season played under the expiring agreement, the ceiling was $128 million per team, the floor $112 million.
The N.F.L. also harnessed television wisely. In 1961, teams agreed to divide television revenue equally and began selling league rights as a package. Green Bay, with a tiny television market, took in as much as the Bears in Chicago. When merchandising and corporate sponsorships began pumping money into sports, the N.F.L. also split that income equally. By contrast, the bulk of baseball's television revenue is locally derived, and team revenues are disparate.
Long-term sustainability has paid off for the N.F.L. It has grown to 32 teams with 1,696 players from 13 teams with 494 players in 1960. Every team made Forbes.com's recent list of the 50 most valuable sporting franchises in the world, with valuations ranging from $725 million to $1.8 billion. Not bad considering that the Giants franchise originally cost $500. But growth has tested the capacity of the owners and the players to trust one another.
In past seasons, the owners went to the racetrack, to dinner and to Mass together. Hardly a day went by when Rooney and Bell did not speak on the telephone. Now small armies of lawyers and accountants mediate discussions. Contention is replacing camaraderie; new owners are eager to break with legacy families and the past.
Gaps have widened between the owners and the players, too. In 1977, the Steelers' Dan Rooney broke a contract impasse after taking the union leader Ed Garvey to dinner. "It was the first time we'd ever broken bread together," Garvey said. They soon settled that dispute; Rooney's friendship with a later union leader, Gene Upshaw, prevented work stoppages and cemented the salary cap.
But in its 10th decade, the N.F.L. seems to have forgotten those lessons. It outlasted the Depression, wars and rival leagues by building an enterprise based on collective interest over self-interest. If owners and players forget what made them successful, they will surely lose that success.Continue reading the main story

The last of Claire Denis's films I saw was the beautiful but confusing Beau Travail. Whereas White Material is less about the beauty and more about the story.
The story is of Maria Vial the white French manager of a coffee plantation owned by her sick ex-father in law, who is trying to harvest the coffee crop as the country disintegrates around her. Her staff flee, so she heads off with a wallet full of money to hire more. She hurries round cajoling them, her son and her ex-husband (who looks disturbingly like a stoned Robert Redford) to help her with the harvest all the time denying and turning a blind eye to evidence that the rebels have the upper hand and she should leave for her own safety.
The theme is that white people may own land in Africa, may be destitute if they are forced out of Africa, may even be born in Africa but are they really African? A secondary theme is the fragility of civilisation.
You could possibly read a feminist sub-text into this film too, as Maria is surrounded by unreliable men: her plotting ex-husband, their lazy son, her sick ex-father in law, her deserting staff, the retreating French army, the devious mayor, her son's gym teacher - now extorting money at a rebel road block etc. It is the men who are destroying things and betraying her, and the target of her bottled anger.
To add to the feeling of chaos, it is ambiguous as to which side the men with guns are on and the story telling is some what abbreviated. A local radio DJ plays the role of providing expository information. At the end I talked with the people seated either side of me and we couldn't agree on exactly who was who and what happened.
There are a couple of odd events, the son's unexplained metamorphosis and the final scene. The presence of English speaking child soldiers in Francophone country is also not explained.

David G from Bryan, Texas recommends this vacation rental
The Villas at Seascape is perfectly located on the green shores of the beautiful beaches of Florida. The villas are part of the larger Seascape complex. That provides you with the amenities of a large resort but the privacy of a smaller condominium.
The golf villas 4A was exceptionally maintained. I could think of anything that the mangment company or the owner could do to improve or stay. Harmony was helpful and accommodating to every request.
The condo itself was perfect for our family of four plus our two little dogs. Kitchen was well stocked. We used the grill right outside of the condo one night.
I would highly recommend villas 4A.

We are so happy to know that you and your family so enjoyed yourselves in this beautiful condo with all the great details of the home, that you were able to take advantage of the resort amenities, and that you all were able to have your dogs with you on your vacation!

How does one affect changes? Not around you, but within.
Are they slow to come? Are they sudden like a heart attack? How does the change happen? An old Zen Buddhist adage says in order to affect change, you simply, "Do". If you want to change, just do it. Don't think. There may be some scientific fact to that method.
A study by Dr. Jeremy K. Seamans from the Brain Research Centre at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute showed that "although it took many trials for the animals to figure out the new rule, the recorded ensembles did not change gradually but instead exhibited a rather abrupt transition to a new pattern that corresponded directly to the shift in behavior, as if the network had experienced an "a-ha" moment." (ScienceDaily - May 14, 2010)
So, even if you have worked hard to institute a change, it still snaps, in a moment, when it finally takes. Or if you are entrenched in a behavior, when it changes, it will still be sudden, that is no mistake.
"We have studied the brain and the dopamine D2 receptors, and have shown that the dopamine system of healthy, highly creative people is similar to that found in people with schizophrenia," says associate professor Fredrik Ullén from Karolinska Institutet's Department of Women's and Children's Health, co-author of the study that appears in the journal PLoS ONE. "Thinking outside the box might be facilitated by having a somewhat less intact box," says Dr Ullén about his new
So those with a high degree of creativity, get more information. It comes faster than in normal people, with less barriers blocking the information flow. And if you are a little unstable, it might not hurt the creative aspects of processing. Still there would need to be some kind of boundaries involved to congeal the information, otherwise, you become unbalanced, and not in a good way.
"Fewer D2 receptors in the thalamus probably means a lower degree of signal filtering, and thus a higher flow of information from the thalamus," says Dr Ullén. This means that those artistic, creative types and those with an unbalance in the structures of their thalamus, are able to see a wider range and with greater speed that those with normal processing capabilities, especially in the area of problem solving.
Psychiatrist Szabolcs Kéri of Semmelweis University in Hungary focused his research on neuregulin 1. This gene typically enables functions a variety of brain processes, both developing and strengthening neurons interactivity. Dr. Kéri points out that "molecular factors that are loosely associated with severe mental disorders but are present in many healthy people may have an advantage enabling us to think more creatively."
Seeing a pattern yet?
Results by Vanderbilt psychologists Brad Folley and Sohee Park recently published by the journal Schizophrenia Research, showed that typically normal creatives use both sides of their brain, not mostly the right side, which is popularly thought and derided by the scientific community. But in the brain scans of schizotypes, "showed a hugely increased activation of the right hemisphere compared to the schizophrenics and the normal controls."
So popular culture is wrong. But still, correct in that, extreme creativity, possibly out of control creativity, is indeed involved in the over use of the right side of the brain.
Where does all this leave us?
Well, let's talk about ADD.
An article on Alterations in Brain's Reward System Related to ADHD (ScienceDaily - Feb. 3, 2010), says: "Differences in the structure of the ventral striatum -- particularly on the right-hand side -- could be seen between those with ADHD and those without the disorder. Children with ADHD exhibited reduced volumes in this region. These differences were associated with symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsiveness."
Interesting. So now what? Not what you would expect? Although ADHD kids also have increased neural functions and cognitive leaps, their motivational parts of the brain are smaller, requiring increased stimulation to maintain focus. Their reward system simply works differently that is considered normal. Which is why discipline is so important as they have to learn to consciously maintain their focus rather than have it come naturally to them.
So now, just see if you can sit still for a little while and think about all this....

This Groupon is valid at boot camps in Forney, Rockwall, Kaufman, and Sunnyvale, and may also be redeemed at the single 6-week, 18-session camp starting June 21 in Rockwall (a $100 value).
Trotter Fitness Camps call on non-intimidating and ever-changing workouts to scare off calories and help individuals to achieve their personal-fitness goals. Each workout is challenging and different, with some days spent focusing on cardio and resistance training and others on yoga and core-strengthening exercises, with an occasional game of high-intensity duck, duck, goose thrown in the mix. Classes are motivating, but attendees are encouraged to work at their own pace, and modifications can be made to account for age and the amount of time lapsed since muscles performed their last squat thrust.
Sweat sessions are available early morning at most locations, so participants can start the day with an energy boost, and in the evening so worker bees can slough off postshift blues and any neck pain that results from recklessly snapping into Slim Jims. Each strength-seeking student should come outfitted with an exercise mat, 5- to 10-pound dumbbells, comfortable running shoes, water, and a towel. Because classes are held despite rain or excessive shine, attendees can depend on this boot camp session to provide a reliable serving of antidonuts.
Though redeeming consecutive lessons will yield the best results, missed classes can be made up through other sessions.

You knew "Black Twitter" wasn't going to let Don Lemon's "support" of Bill O'Reilly just slide. The #DonLemonLogic hashtag highlights what is at the heart of many's issue with the CNN anchor's recent comments–the oversimplification of the issue of race in America.
Jay-Z was tweeting today. And no, he wasn't hacked.
Black Twitter has never been known to exercise chill. Case in the point, the #AskDraya trending topic making a mockery of one Draya Michele.
Ever get annoyed reading someone's timeline? Or have a sneaky suspicion that their real life is actually nothing like their tweets? Well, don't worry, because you're not the only one.
The music world was ignited when the 55th Annual Grammy nominations were released during the Grammy Nominations Concert Live! last night. Unfortunately, for the Barbz, Nicki Minaj received zero nominations for the upcoming annual awards show.

Why Is Ariana Grande At The CMAs? 'Postpartum Taylor Swift Disorder' Trends On Twitter
"Bang Bang" singer Ariana Grande performed at the 2014 Country Music Association Awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Wednesday night and some Twitter users wondered why the pop artist was even there. "Why is Ariana Grande" began to trend on the social media site during the ceremony, with people providing various different answers to the question.
Some people wanted her to "go home" because she was not country enough:
Why is Ariana Grande at the #CMAawards like no. This is the COUNTRY MUSIC awards. go home.
— Madison Hill (@_madixo) November 6, 2014
I thought this was the COUNTRY music awards..... Why is Ariana Grande there? #GirlBye
— macy (@_macyw) November 6, 2014
...why is ariana grande performing at the #CMAawards....no bye
— Gabriella Falco (@GabriellaaFalco) November 6, 2014
Others were confused by her presence at the CMAs:

— Traci Begay (@t_elynn) November 6, 2014
So why is Ariana Grande at the CMAs.... Kind of confused
— Skinny Girl (@_theskinnygirl) November 6, 2014
So wait... why is Ariana Grande preforming at the country music awards if shes not even a country singer? I'm confused.
— Ashley Smith (@AshleySmithYT) November 6, 2014
Some people said she was talented enough to be there, so it didn't matter:
"Why is Ariana Grande at the CMAS?!?!!!" Because she's just that talented bye

— Brianna Eason (@briannaeason) November 6, 2014
The questions and upset might have stemmed from Taylor Swift not attending the awards show. "Postpartum Taylor Swift Disorder," which was a joke made during a monologue by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, began to trend during the event as many fans wished she was there.
I suffer from PostPartum Taylor Swift Disorder.
— Carly Smith (@carlyautumn13) November 6, 2014
The CMA's are already so hilarious! Postpartum Taylor Swift Disorder #CMAs

In a bizarre incident, three women were caught hiding expensive watches in their bodies, after stealing them from the guests of a hotel-casino in Las Vegas, last week, said local Police.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said that the three women (Bryanna Warren, Trinity Kennard and Charmella Triggs), all in their early twenties, flirted their way into the guest's room, at the Encore hotel-casino, on Sunday, 17 August, according to a report by Fox5.
In order to make their robbery easier, they got the men drunk, and tried to take off with their wristwatches, which cost thousands of dollars. The LVMPD said that the women hid the Rolex watches in their vaginas.
At around 3:30 am, on Sunday, Triggs and Warren approached a tourist from India at the hotel bar, where one of them passed her phone number.
The tourist had told the women that he was staying at one of the rooms in the hotel with a friend. The two burglars and the tourist departed, after that, only to bump into each other outside the latter's room, around half an hour later.
The man invited the two women, and it is reported that they had a few drinks inside the tourist's room, before being joined by his friend.
Later, the two burglars asked the permission of the tourists to invite their "friend" (and the third burglar), Kennard into the room.
After that, one of the women started undressing a tourist and performed sexual acts on him. He removed his Rolex watch, worth $12,000, during the act, according to the police.
The other tourist also had the sexual acts performed on him by another woman, and he too removed his watch, worth $4,000.
However, the men soon realized what was going on when they saw that their watches were missing from the place where they had left them.
CCTV footage from the hotel revealed that the women fled from the room, towards the elevators, with the two men in pursuit. As the three burglars got into the elevator, one of them pulled a stun gun on the tourists to deter their pursuit.
The footage from the elevator's CCTV cameras revealed that the women hiked up their dresses, and inserted the Rolex watches in their vaginal areas, while squatting.
The victims of the burglary immediately informed the hotel security, who in collaboration with the police, were able to catch the burglars at the taxi-pickup area of the hotel.
The Police immediately found the stun gun and one of the watches on the women. The other watch was found after a strip search was done on Kennard.

STR1CT RESTRA1N - Penny Flame
, 5 scenes, 49 min
AVN award winner Penny Flame is chained in the dimly lit room as she frantically looks for escape. Her hopes are quickly dashed however, as The Pope discovers her meager plan and gets her on all fours. As Penny crawls around on the floor trying to get away, her Master chases her with his flogger and dishes out some resounding punishment. Her cunt is then groped and fingered before she is vibed to a blistering orgasm... Shackled, spread eagle to the bars, Penny is caned and prodded. As The Pope works the cane across his slaves open palms, Penny exclaims in pain. A finger is stuffed in her pussy and the juices begin to flow. The flogger swings through the air and finds its mark as it strikes bare flesh. Now, suction cups are applied to Penny's bare breasts and she is dong fucked and vibed until she cums repeatedly at the hand of her Master...Cuffed and strapped to the cross, Penny once again defiantly tries to break free. As her Master lurks in the shadows, his flogger is utilized across Penny's bare and sensitive flesh pushing her to the breaking point. Her nipples are clamped and weighted before The Pope begins his sinister usage of the G5 on her raw cunt. Dazed and exhausted, Penny heaves and screams as she erupts in another orgasm... The blare of the propane torch echoes against the walls as The Pope finds his slave restrained to the Y table. Penny's moans increase in intensity as the molten wax rains across her tits. In her binds she twitches as her torso is painted with melting wax and her ball gag is no match for the screams that she releases. The calming salve is the pole mounted dong and the G5 before she is left to writhe in darkness... Dejcted and broken, Penny is bent over the sawhorse. With her ass so openly exposed, The Pope seizes the opportunity to work it over once more with his flogger then, he callously buries the flogger handle deep in her snatch. Next, her cunt is vibed and Penny begs her Master to cum. Once The Pope grants her wish, she erupts in massive, ear shattering, multiple orgasms before she is left naked and alone in the Dungeon...

A Theory of Multi-Period Debt Structure
59 Pages Posted: 9 Feb 2017 Last revised: 29 Sep 2017
Date Written: May 31, 2017
We develop a model of multi-period debt structure. A simple trade-off between the termination threat required to make repayments incentive compatible and the desire to avoid early liquidation determines the number of repayments, their timing, and repayment amounts. For mature firms with risky cash flows, frequent repayments maximize pledgeable income—for example, by rolling over short-term debt. In contrast, for firms with cash-flow growth or significant risk-free cash flows, adding risky repayments can decrease pledgeable income. In some cases, a single risky bullet repayment maximizes pledgeable income, effectively a long-term debt contract.
Keywords: Debt Structure, Debt Maturity, Corporate Debt Maturity Profiles, Unverifiable Cash Flows, Rollover Risk

The snow can cause complications for golf with many courses closed until the winter freeze has melted away, But in Gatten, Denmark, golfers are not put off by blankets of snow on the fairway. At Himmerland Golf and Country Club, the secret is the introduction of a new Sports Coach 3D Platinum Golf Simulator, which gives players the opportunity to play indoors all year round.
With a huge screen, stretching 30 m2, the simulator offers golfers the chance to immerse themselves into a realistic backdrop on more than 100 of the best known courses in the world, which has been attracting bookings since the installation only a few weeks ago.
Himmerland Golf and Country Club decided that the Sports Coach simulator is the finest simulator on the market today, and as Sports Coach are simulator manufacturers, Himmerland intend to have their own golf course modelled later in the year.

The daytime scenes will vary from long shadowy feels to bright daylight although I plan to keep these limited to very specific moments in the script and there is some interior stuff so I may be looking at a couple of stocks that will cut together well and not loose to moody feel of the piece. Now, I know 5218 is pretty much the workhorse of the industry right now, but I'm not sure how well it will work for the night scenes with the possible limitations of lenses that may be availible. Sense we're gonna be limited on cash, I want to find a good starting point so I can shoot some tests without wasteing money on stock that is not going to be close to the look I want to achieve. Grain is not an exceptional consideration but I don't want it to look like I shot it on 16 . I know there will probably be compromises I'll just have to accept given own budget and demands but If I can get in the ballpark I can probably live with it. I would very much apreciate any and all help offered here ladies and gentlemen so feel free to share your thoughts. I will be most greatful.

Thando Ndabezitha
This is traditional North Indian cuisine at its finest. The Raj boasts chefs who carry about seven generations' culinary knowledge and traditions. The starters menu has a delightful variety of dishes which are large enough to satisfy, while being small enough to whet the appetite for the next course. On a cold day, the lamb sheekh kebab would be a great starter idea or, equally as tasty, samoosas served with a delicious dipping sauce. Combining the four flavours (lamb, chicken, Punjabi and cheese and corn) makes for a wonderful taste sensation.
There is quite a wide range of seafood, chicken, lamb and vegetarian dishes to choose from; however, the lamb biryani comes most highly recommended. Their biryani clears your throat on a cold winter day, if you are brave enough to go for the hot option – which is not actually unbearable. The chillies are nice and strongly flavoured and have none of the reticence of some of the local chillies.
Desserts are carefully thought out with the traditional nut and coconut ingredients being critical components of some of the dishes. For a fresh ending to your dining experience, order a sorbet (mango or litchi) or a duo of their full cream ice-creams – the pistachio and barfi (coconut) is excellent.
Wine is sold by the glass, including local sweet dessert wines and the stronger fortified wines. There are also a range of traditional Indian drinks such as masala tea and lassies. Although the masala tea forms a skin of milk on the top as soon as the tea is served. Another disappointment is that it is sold per cup, rather than served in a teapot as many Indian restaurants would. There are some South African brandies, Scottish whiskies and shots also on offer, making the venue amenable for a good night out or after-work drinks.
The waiters are friendly and knowledgeable about the food. And the meals themselves, while freshly prepared per order, is relatively quickly delivered.
Weekdays do no not seem to be the most popular time to visit the establishment as the number of vacant tables is quite jarring. However, the restaurant is warm and with the dim lighting and soft Indian music playing in the background, definitely feels like Indian fine dining.
The flat breads are also sold with wholewheat options. (TN)

Another Successful Showing for GROM Audio at the Annual Volvo Car Show
It was a beautiful day in Davis, filled with excitement about old a new Volvos alike—giving GROM Audio the opportunity to show Volvo fans the potential of aftermarket technology. As one of this year's platinum sponsors, GROM Audio had the honor of sponsoring the Best Technology award and the winner received one of our aftermarket car audio adapters.
Throughout the day attendees of the car show, dubbed the Sweet Sixteen, were able to see the evolution of the design of Volvo vehicles and the technological advances added throughout the progression of each model. From some of the oldest models to the latest specs, the Volvo brand has been at the forefront of its time and GROM Audio was there to help show Volvo drivers how we can transform outdated models with the latest aftermarket technology!
Thanks to event coordinator, Justin, for hosting another amazing event!

Update to the long running patent feud between Acushnet (Titleist) and Callaway over the ProV1 golf ball. An appeals court has granted Acushnet's request for a new trial. It was found that the previous court ruling was not valid due to some issues regarding the court not allowing Titleist to present defense evidence.
So how does this affect us? It probably doesn't. ProV1's are still in stores and are not in any thread of being taken off shelves anytime soon. At this point however you can go back to paying $55 a dozen and we'll wait to hear the results of the next trial.

This is a very simple soup - great flavors with minimal effort.
In a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook macaroni until al dente (slightly firm) following package instructions; drain.
In the same saucepan bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vegetables; cook 5 minutes. Add the sausage and macaroni and cook just until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in basil. Transfer to a thermos (or two); divide Parmesan and wrap separately. At lunchtime, add Parmesan and serve with a wedge of corn bread, if desired.
I used a jiffy corn bread mix.

Continuous Performance Testing
March 9, 2014•41 min
Automate. Rinse. Repeat. Every day at every hour and every minute there are developers writing code, committing code to the repo, building snapshots, checking out stuff, debugging it, profiling it and generally making things happen continuously. So, why not have performance testing be part of that continuous world? It's a hot topic in this edition of PerfBytes where we are joined by our fellow pancake-loving co-originator Carlos Chidiac as we debate the value and pragmatics of integrating performance into your continuous integration and continuous delivery process automation. Don't be scared by James' Perf Rant about CPT, Agile & DevOps and Carlos who both agree that 'Speed Kills' when it comes to your attempts to accelerate performance through automation. Mark shares a few technical tips and we generally advise you to be aware of the pitfalls of trying to promote speed over quality. Episode formally sponsored by www.flood.io, check it out!

The Language of Truth
Rabbi Arthur Green took on a monumental task of culling, translating, and interpreting selections from Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter's Sefet Emet, or the Language of Truth. This original work by the Hasidic master covers several volumes; Green distills it to 407 pages, with the Hebrew original at the back of the book.
It is easy to see why Rabbi Green decided to take the Sefet Emet and translate it for a wider audience. It fits with Rabbi Green's conception of Jewish Renewal and Neo-Hasidism. In the selections Green has picked, the Sefet Emet is uncannily post-modern.
The book is concerned with the internal life of people, with universal themes of commonality, does not, generally, posit a vertical conception of God, but a panentheistic one. The Sefer Emet does what every true Torah book should do: it takes tradition as the jumping off point to greater explorations of the theme of Judaism in its own time. It adds novel twists to old traditions.
And Green is an excellent guide. He realizes our Jewish sensibilities are atrophied; his commentaries on the commentaries are vital to understanding this book.

I have attached a few photos of the creepiest thing I have encountered on my mission. This is in the house that we are staying in. It sits next to the fridge and it's name is HapHitch. Meaning happy hitchhiker. Seriously, I think it's going to be looking at me one day when I wake up in the morning.
Anyways, things are getting better here in Rochester. There is a snow storm every Monday without fail for the last few weeks or so. So P-day begins with a movie. Today, we watched the Book of Mormon movie like in real life. It was in theaters or something like that. It was horribly awesome. I don't think it was a good idea to let people who weren't members to see this film because it would defiantly turn them off from the Book of Mormon. Oh, well at least they told the viewers to read the book to find out the true account of the story told in the movie. It was still really fun.
(Here is a picture of the meetinghouse in Rochester, MN. )
My faith has been put to the test this week and I think that I'm coming out ok. There is a reason that I'm out here. I'm here to help the Lord with His work in saving His children. I have been spoiled in other areas, well maybe prepared is a better word. I know that because I have seen so much success in the other areas that I can take those successes and use the experience that I gained here in Rochester. I'm working for a better cause than I think I can fully realize.
Love to you all from inside a snow bank,
Sister D

We had a wonderful time at Aunt Jenni and Uncle Chris's house. The kids enjoyed playing outside in their big back yard and I had a great time just being with my family.
The big day of our trip was Tuesday. We went to downtown Atlanta.
It was a fun filled day. We ate at the Varsity,
visited King Tut, and saw many fish at the aquarium.
We ended our time in GA by crossing the state line back into AL for an Auburn basketball game.
By the end of the trip this is how we all felt, but we enjoyed it tremendously.

Graduation 2012
Happy graduation class of 2012! My little brother was one of the many who graduated today, and will graduate this year. I am so proud of him, and I am very excited to see how his life will play out. There are many more adventures waiting ahead, and although they may be a little scary, and look pretty challenging, I encourage you to go for it. Leave no stone unturned!
Be bold!
Be brave!
Be joyful!
Be kind!
Be AWESOME! :)
You have matured into a very uniquely amazing young man, my brother. I am so proud of you and I am thrilled to say that we have become more than just siblings, but that we are close friends!
This journey of yours, is ever being written. More or less, I know that's what everyone says, but it's true!
God has the quill, and you are the ink.

My baby boy is getting so big. He outweighs his Sis by about 5 lbs. He is solid. The kids like to call him Tank. He isn't chubby but just solid. He loves food!! Cam laughed and commented the other day that every time he looks at BG there is food in his mouth. :) It's true he doesn't miss any opportunity to eat.
Baby George is thinking about potty training. Some days he wants to...some days...NOT. He does like to wear big boy undies and can stay dry for long periods of the day when he is wearing them. He'll do it soon. I'm seeing dollar signs...$$$. No kids in diapers...amazing...soon!
BG is the snuggliest loviest guy. He wakes up in the morn happy to cuddle. Often during the day he asks to go sit and cuddle too. He is the best hugger. He wraps his little arms around your neck and then pats the back of your neck. Precious! He also melts my heart by saying "pleeeeease" in the sweetest of ways. Even when I really mean no my heart just melts when he asks so nicely. "pleeeeease can I play with your cell phone". Oh! Such a sweet boy.
He likes to sit and look at books and has become part of my nighttime book sessions with the older boys. I can no longer send the wee ones to bed 1/2 hour before the big kids. Darn it! They just cry and fuss because they know the big kids are up. So, now it's a very full bed of kids to read with. BG sits very still and listens to the story and looks at the pictures...his Sis...ummmm, not so much.
At prayer time BG and Sis are both doing a great job saying the Lord's Prayer. They can do just about the whole thing. Amazing. BG requests Jesus Loves Me each night at bedtime and often if he wakes up at night he'll ask me or Papa to sing it again.
He is the baby and all the kids call him precious. They laugh at the things he does and says and they run to help him and attend to him. In the morning when he wakes up the kids will go in his room and I can hear them saying, "good morning precious...come on, Mama's down in the kitchen". Love it.

Moomins, Metsä, Mitsubishi and missiles - business, politics and sports
The Chamber's visit together with our new Finnish Ambassador to Hanno City site, where Moomin theme park will rise next year, was interesting and impressive. Despite the rainy weather and nothing built yet, we could imagine the planned fairy story attractions fitting well into the leafy lake side. The pulsating enthusiasm of Hanno people for the project and towards Finland in general was also clear and touching. While Moomin Monogatari company, the builder and future operator of "Metsä" as the park is called, is majority Japanese-owned, it's sales point is based on the wide recognition of Moomin characters across generations of Japan society and special love for Finland here. As well, the future park will be entirely different from Disneylands, Universal Studios and other big theme parks here in that it will be small, leisurely and nature orientated where families can take it slow and enjoy the peaceful environment as well as Moomins.
We all wish well to the FCCJ member company in its big project and wait anxiously to see how it will turn out in reality. There is no doubt that "Metsä" will serve as another boost for Finland brand here and encourage more Finnish companies to come to Japan to sell their products and services.
In fact, it's been a delight to watch the Finnish companies' growing interest to Japan recently. It seems the firms' basic approach has changed from the old "I will visit next week, please arrange us big business there" to more realistic "we know you have to be present there and have patience to work long time to establish your own place in the market". There has been a steady flow of visitors coming to check out the markets and many new companies from varied business areas have established presence in Tokyo. In many cases, they are manned by young professionals, who know how to mix in here culturally and find your own connections that get you through the jungle of distributors and competitors to the end users. Many have strong belief in their product, many are probably encouraged by the other's success stories, many have already tried out China and many have been pushed out of Russia by EU sanctions.
As an example, at FCCJ we were last year surprised to learn there is a sizeable group of Finnish companies now in Nagasaki, all part suppliers to cruise ships, well experienced with years of work in Finnish shipyards and now serving the Mitsubishi Heavy Nagasaki yard that started making luxury cruisers again. The yard's 20 years long break from this niche showed in the first ship launch delayed more than one year from the original schedule, but I am sure the next building will proceed smoother. Good interior and machinery parts from Finland will contribute to this positively.
Incidentally, Mitsubishi Heavy also has had delay in its project to build its new medium-size passenger jet MRJ (Mitsubishi Regional Jet), the first of its kind in Japan. The plane has been sent from Nagoya for testing in USA and returned and re-sent already several times, in the most recent case turning back even before Sapporo because its air conditioning malfunctioned. The ownership transfer of Heavy's car making subsidiary Mitsubishi Motors to Nissan has been delayed, too, due to new unexpected problems. It was different before: the transfer of Mitsubishi paper machine business unit to Finland's Valmet some 10 years ago went smoothly and the 100 or so Mitsubishi paper machines at Japanese paper mills have provided steady service income to Valmet Japan, one of our member companies.
Achieving something first time is difficult even for a gigantic old company like Heavy, yet failing its first big foreign deal for submarines has turned out an ultimate win for the company and the country. With clearly superior product according all experts, but reluctant to share its technological secrets for making the boats at local yard in Adelaide as the political decisions makers demanded, Mitsubishi lost the rich deal to a state-owned French shipyard, well experienced in arms deals and already building 12 similar boats for India. The decision was probably bigger disappointment for Abe government than for Mitsubishi as it had been heavily promoting Japan's first big foreign arms deal after changing the long time law that forbid exports of such equipment, yet the company's doubts seem now have proved right as the French secret technical data has been leaked out from India. The 22,000 pages explain every detail how the boats function so that they will be easy to find and follow by the potential enemy. Japan and Mitsubishi can sigh relief it was not theirs, while Aussie politicians look stupid. "We don't want to put our sailors in a coffin that can be traced from far away", one said at the time. Now they seem to have done just that.
Soon after, another industrial controversy developed between France and Japan. In trying to explain the multiyear delay in building a nuclear plant in France another French state-owned company blamed inferior quality in the special super-strong steel used for the reactor core from Japan Casting and Forging Corp. (JCFC), the global leader for such products. The French are now "conducting further tests", but with such serious doubts from another country, Japan's safety officials have already rushed to demand that the 13 Japanese nuclear reactors, which also have high-pressure reactors cores made by JCFC, must now re-test their equipment to prove again they meet national safety standards. These include the two Kyushu Power Co's reactors that are now running as well as several, who have been already approved by NRA to restart. It's another unpleasant surprise for the government's long time push to get more nuclear power back online. Safety comes first, of course, but it easy to think there is a touch of politicking behind the move as well. I have not heard that the Finnish safety officials would have requested re-tests for a similar reactor there, equally badly delayed by the French, after they already tested and approved it. Instead, we hear from Finland that there are growing problems to even start the construction of another new NPP that has part-ownership and equipment coming from Russia.
With Abe back from his foreign sojourns, it's back to daily politicking here, too. Opposition DPJ is anxiously waiting for the start of the TPP ratification debate in the Diet with the deal's Japanese head architect, then Trade Minister Amari back in line of duty at his MP seat, as this will give them a chance to call him in as sworn witness to what really happened behind the closed doors during the long winding negotiation process. Readers might recall that last time they tried that, Amari got suddenly "sick" and had to stay home to recover by doctor's orders, later on giving up his minister seat. Obviously this is not something that government and LDP would like to happen again and, luckily or unluckily depending on your viewpoint, somebody found out that DPJ's newly elected party leader Renho's nationality change to Japanese at 17 years age was not fully completed with disavowal of her Taiwanese nationality. This does not legally disqualify her from parliament seat, party leadership or even for future PM job, but it's a sensitive issue politically. So, not surprisingly for Japanese politics, there is a rumor floating of a proposed deal: "You don't demand Amari to disclose all secret talks and we will not take up Renho's nationality issue."
Such dirty drivel must be so disturbing to our high flying Prime Minister that he is already planning to fly out again, this time to Cuba, where he would generously cancel 2/3 or USD 1,2 billion of the country's unpaid debt to Japan and set the scene for big trading companies to establish business there.
Not even North Korea's new nuclear bomb test and suspect of another coming soon are enough to hold back Abe's urge for globetrotting and trade promotion with tax payer money. It seems it's enough for him to tell that "Japan is losing its patience" with North and that new sanctions are on their way as soon as government has "determined the most effective timing" for them. For one, I would like to see Japan stop the money flow to North from the thousands of pachinko parlors that are widely owned by North sympathizers living here. In fact, I would not mind if they would be all closed as they only bring depravation and social problems for the society. It's such a sad scene to see the long lines of game addicts waiting for their hell holes to open early Sunday morning and to read news of children neglected by mothers and fathers spending hours by the noisy machines. As well, investing into better anti-missile defense would be highly appropriate against the acute threat from North whatever the pacifist part of the voting population say. It's hard to believe but some of them are so allergic to reality that they even oppose the Self Defense Force to have "katana" swords in its new emblem together with the old chrysanthemum. "At least they should be in their sheaths, bare swords are so bellicose!"
For most of us Tokyoites a much more important topic is the escalating environment scandal that our new governor Koike has uncovered at the City's new USD 2 billion fish market site. Digging into what really has happened under previous 3 governors' watch, it's been established that while 2 meters layer of polluted soil at the site from the old gas plant was removed as instructed and replaced by a protective layer and 4 meters of new clean soil, this insulating maneuver was omitted under the buildings themselves. Instead, the new massive buildings have only empty basement space separating their first floor, where fish and veggies are handled, from the highly polluted old ground. As result, bad smelling and certainly not clean ground water is leaking in and floating on the basement floor, not a pretty sight for tv-cameras now allowed in and a reminder of same problem plaguing Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant. How this could happen will be a big topic in the City Council next days and weeks and it is not impossible that the whole JPY 200 billion (USD 2 billion) building will not be taken to its intended use for quite some time. How this will impact the Olympic schedule is anybody's guess.
While building of the new Olympic stadium still has not started, the construction plans for Tokyo 2020 renewal are proceeding elsewhere and the prize winning architect Kengo Kuma has been awarded another big design work for the new Yamanote line station between Shinagawa and Tamachi. The initial computer image with big halls, restaurants and shopping areas looks grand, yet makes just one part of the JR East's overall plan to develop its entire old rail yard area into a new metropolitan business, shopping and entertainment hub. As no politicians are involved in the private company's development venture on its own land, I am sure everything will go well in schedule.
It is not only such big construction schemes that stretch long into future, but overall investment by private corporate sector that looks good today. After consumer demand, this is the second biggest pillar of Japan economy making 15% of the GDP. While traditional manufacturing industry investments excelled with 11% rise in July, it's been the non-manufacturing sector who's been leading over longer period with new shopping centers, hotels and restaurant complexes etc. Same applies for new machinery orders that rose 5% to JPY 890 billion in July: most of this (JPY 525 billion) came from non-manufacturers like mobile networks. Even here, however, the export markets are almost as significant as those at home with JPY 725 billion worth sold there in July, sadly 12% down from year ago "thanks" to expensive JPY value. Hence any news that US economy is doing well enough for US Fed to raise its base rate are keenly followed here as that would surely raise the USD value back against JPY. It's not only for exports from Japan: some 40% of Japan's industrial capacity is located overseas and the FX rates impact the JPY value of any profits those factories want to repatriate to Japan head office.
While currency rates can have big impact on corporate profits and finances – at Toyota one step in JPY/USD rate is said to count for USD 400 million in profit – it's still price and quality that makes the base for business and even a small glitch in latter can create unexpected havoc.
No better example of this than the battery problem in Samsung 7 phone: its tendency to heat up and burst in flames led to its worldwide ban from airplanes which, in turn, forced the company to recall all 2.5 million phones it had already shipped out. The USD 1 billion estimated cost for that pales in comparison to the damage to Samsung brand image and corporate value: in just two days the company's market value dropped USD 22 billion! It remains to be seen how Samsung, already under pressure from cheap Chinese phones, will recover from this blow.
Japan football team recovered from its first World Cup qualification match loss with 2-0 win in Bangkok, but what a painful spectacle it was to watch! Totally dominant with probably 90% possession Japan should have won at least 5-0, but despite constant dribble around opponent's goal the elusive ball just did not go in more than two times. I really sympathized with Japan's Bosnian manager, who was tearing his hair and shouting in frustration. As well known, such theatrics are not acceptable in the social norm here and his hard words at break times hurt Japan's tender soccer stars so bad that JFA appointed a Japanese co-manager to "improve" his communication with the players. It seemed to me that the poor man was so frustrated that he would surely walk out of the job if it wasn't for super high salary to compensate him.
Biggest sport news past week was, however, Hiroshima's win in baseball Central League, first time in 25 years. Celebrations in the city that has gone through much in history, but always dwelled in bottom of the baseball league, were wild and colorful with red dressed fans running around streets "high-fiving" each other. Nama biiru and okonomiyaki must have sold well in the street "yattais".
The scenes will be surely even wilder if they manage to beat the Pacific League champion, still unknown, for the All Japan championship. PL winners have dominated over CL winners at least five consecutive years now, so CL win would be a delight even for Tokyoites then.
Paralympics have been widely featured in television with direct broadcasts from Rio running over regular morning news time just like "real" Olympics did. It's great that sport media gives equal treatment to paraplegics and blind, just like the wider society is supposed to provide them. In fact, Japan seems model country in this area: streets and station platforms have well marked touch-point guidance strips all over for visually handicapped and elevators, even help staff, for wheelchair riders.
It's another story with Rio results. With Russia banned for doping, China has ruled the medal standings grabbing more than twice No.2 USA. In many events, all medals have gone to China and in tennis the whole top four were Chinese making it look like a local event. Good for them, but a bit boring for others. Guess it all comes from their meticulous, state funded training. Their national training institute is said to be bigger than anybody else has for normal sports.
In world top tennis it's Japan all through. Not in actual play, but in what top players wear. Japan's star player Kei Nishikori has been wilting this year, often falling off GP tournaments in quarterfinals or semifinals. In US Open last week, he managed to beat Britain's Andy Murray for the first time, then again lost his semi against Swiss Stan Wawrinka, who then beat Croatia's Djokovic in the final. Yet, businesswise it looked like it was Japan all through as all four top players were sporting Japanese brand jerseys: Djokovic and Nishikori play wearing Uniqlo, Warinka is sponsored by Yonex and France's Monfils by Asics. It was great promotion for the Japanese brands and especially for Uniqlo, who is a newcomer to the sportswear market. It now has as many shops overseas as in Japan, yet lag to reach same target in sales and profits. The two other brands are already there: for instance Yonex earned half of its profit overseas last year.
People, who worry about the decline of Japanese brands in consumer electronics business, don't always recognize Japanese brands that are successful in other consumer business areas. Then again, many don't either realize that big selling Wilson is a Finnish-owned brand. At FCCJ, we all do. After all, Amer Japan is one of our member companies.
