To my brother: Yes, that was a ridiculously early hour to arrive at the game. My bad. When the entire Champions Lot is empty, it doesn't mean much, but when there's only one other car in our Blue Lot row, you might be a bit ahead of schedule.
From the stands, the Iowa game looked like a mirror image of Penn State. Instead of a dominant performance that didn't show up on the scoreboard, we had a tight game that we put away late. The secondary still appears to be the weak point in our defense, especially our linebackers in pass coverage against tight ends. Iowa burned us several times when the TE would get open in the middle of the field. Still, even with Iowa's receiving corps playing out of their shoes (only one real dropped pass all day, which is apparently a rarity for the Hawkeyes), Iowa never managed to get into the endzone and Drew Tate called Michigan the best defense he's seen all year. Morgan Trent's playing better as his hand heals up and he's been playing the deep ball very well. You still see him tackling a lot more receivers than Leon Hall, but that's because people are throwing away from Hall.
Our defensive line is unreal. Unreal.
I really disliked the run plays we called on the first few series. We kept running wide on the short side of the field, where Hart would run out of room before he could get the corner. Iowa knew we'd come out running (As long as zebras roam the Earth, Michigan will try to establish the run...), and probably to the left side of our line, so it was no surprise to them when we did just that on our first two plays from scrimmage. For that matter, if you want to run the stretch play, why not use Carlos Brown? He's just that much faster. We opened it up and made good adjustments at halftime, which is a nice enough change from last year. Henne looked decent, but not like a world-beater. He took sacks and made scrambles earlier than I'd like to see, but he also found Arrington and Breaston and Butler over and over. On the pass to Butler that took us down to the 12 (I think that was the play), I saw Hart make an excellent, excellent pickup on a rusher who was charging at Henne. Just another reason why Mike Hart is awesome. Also? Mike. Hart. Does. Not. Fumble. Remember that, Mr. Referee. As soon as it was ruled Iowa ball, I said, "Oh, this is going to review." Why? Because Mike Hart does not fumble. The six-game gauntlet that loomed at the start of this season has been run. I was sure we'd come out of it with a loss somewhere on the way, but we're 8-0 with what should be clear sailing until The Game on 11/18. The team might not be able to look past Northwestern, Ball State, and Indiana, but I sure can. 11-0 vs 11-0 in the biggest, most celebrated rivalry in all of college sports? A game like this only comes along maybe (maybe!) once every 30 years.
The Band
Iowa didn't bring their band this week, which sort of surprised me. Maybe they suck. I don't think I've ever seen them play. In pregame, our band did The Cake, which was particularly awesome. Starting in concentric circles, they collapse inward while playing the tune from The Blues Brothers, "I Can't Turn You Loose". There's a script to this song.
For at least the past 14 years, part of the script has been for Carl Grapentine to claim, "By the year 2006, the music now known as the blues will exist only in the classical record department of your local public library." So among the preseason question this year was, given that it's now 2006, how will they change the script? It's not up there with "Will Chad Henne regress again? Will we keep Mike Hart healthy? Will we stop playing a pillowy soft zone at the end of every close game?", but it was a question nonetheless. Answer: We've pushed the demise of the blues back to 2010. Not really a lot of faith out there in the staying power of the art form, I suppose.
A couple of weeks ago, I supposed that the jazz show would be the last time the band played a show of non-popular music. I was wrong, as they went even further away from pandering to the audience by playing a show of marches no one in the stadium had ever cared about, and the songs weren't exactly hummable. The marching itself was very different for the MMB. Not everyone was facing the same sideline, people switched which sideline they were playing to in the middle of songs, etc. More of an old-school show, to go with the antique-sounding music.
Next week is homecoming, which is always a grab bag. I would expect that this is the show where John Stout does the arrangements, everyone marches --> everything's pretty simple. The regular MMB might end up playing a bunch of short songs before the alumni join them on the field for some of the classics (Temptation, War Chant, St. Louis Blues?, etc.). I will put money on it that it can't be any worse than our homecoming salute to the med school in 2001, which was one bad musical pun after another (For Your Eyes Only, Mack the Knife, etc., etc.).

A book introducing Taiwan as a prime destination for medical tourism was released yesterday in Taipei.
Part of the Patients Beyond Borders series, which covers issues relating to medical tourism, Josef Woodman's Patients Beyond Borders, Taiwan Edition takes a close look at the nation's medical facilities.
Speaking at a press conference, Woodman said: "The time has come for Taiwan to at last be recognized as a leader in global healthcare and a greatly desirable medical travel destination for anyone in the world seeking high-quality, affordable, lower-cost medical care."
Taiwan has achieved many medical milestones, he said, adding that hospitality and care were strong points in its healthcare system. In 2000, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Taiwan's healthcare second best in the world after Sweden.
Taiwan Task Force on Medical Travel secretary-general Wu Ming-yen (吳明彥) said Taiwan was one of just five countries to have its own edition of Patients Beyond Borders and that this was a first step toward bolstering the medical tourism industry here.
Department of Health Deputy Minister Sung Yen-jen (宋宴仁) said people were increasingly interested in global healthcare.
Taiwan hopes to attract Chinese and Taiwanese from the US, Canada and other parts of the world to seek medical treatment here, where they can experience comparatively cheap, high-quality care as well as a familiar culture, he said.
"We are working to increase international acknowledgement of Taiwan's medical care and medical travel to Taiwan. We have the wherewithal to meet the needs of Taiwanese and the Taiwanese diaspora, but we are also capable of serving people from all over the world. Everybody can receive world-class medical care in Taiwan," Taiwan External Trade Development Council President Chao Yung-chuan (趙永全) said.
Woodman said the book would be promoted in the US, the UK, Canada, throughout Taiwan and elsewhere.
"As one who has visited more than 100 hospitals in 12 countries over the past two years, I see that Taiwan's future as a medical travel destination is bright," he said.

Celebrating the success of family-controlled businesses.
In a 2010 study of 4,000 family and non-family controlled companies, Harvard Business School found that family-held companies outperformed their counterparts by 6% in market returns, and 10% in profits. This is a significant difference. The researchers attributed these superior results to three distinct competitive advantages found within the family-controlled companies in the study:
Introducing formalized governance processes can help enterprising families to sustain these competitive advantages over the long-term, particularly when multiple generations and/or non-active family shareholders are involved.
What makes enterprising families so unique?
As we've covered in several articles before, enterprising families are unique and often complex because they face a range of issues relating to family, business and ownership. These three realms almost always overlap and are intertwined in ways that affect every aspect of the lives, relationships and business operations involved.
Examples of situations that are unique to enterprising families:
- Siblings who reject (and avoid reporting-to) their brother/sister/cousin as the leader
- Critical senior generation concerned about younger generation 'getting a free ride'
- Compensation negotiations between parent/child or uncle/aunt/niece/nephew
- Addressing poor performance with an underperforming family member working in the business
- Non-active spouses/in-laws that may only hear one side of the story after difficult days
- Decisions regarding who will have opportunities to become a shareholder and who will not
With so many different people, personality types, power structures and emotions involved within a typical enterprising family, it isn't hard to see how things can become complicated when common situations like the ones above are encountered.
Back to basics: what is governance?
The Family Business Governance Handbook defines governance as "the structures and processes for the direction and control of companies" or, put more simply, a process for open communication and transparent decision-making.
What is Family Governance, and how does it apply to Enterprising Families?
The 'three circles' that apply to every family business are the family, the business and ownership. In a typical family enterprise, these three circles always overlap.
The best practice governance structures that lead to increased communication and trust within each of the three circles are as follows:
Governance Structure
Governance Document
1. Family
Family Council
Family Meetings
Family Constitution
2. Business
Board of Directors (or Advisors)
Board Meetings
Strategic Plan
3. Ownership
Shareholder Meetings
Shareholder Agreement
Formalized governance structures give everyone a voice, but not necessarily a vote.
One of the challenges faced by enterprising families is the far-reaching impact of decisions that are made; decisions made for the family affect the business, and decisions made for the business affect the family. By adopting formalized governance processes within a family business, a mechanism is created for family members to participate and have their voices heard, so their input can be factored before decisions are made by those in control. Often what matters most to family members is not the decision that was made, but understanding the reasons for why the decision was made. Having governance processes in place creates a forum for open and honest communication, which improves the effectiveness of the business while also making family dinners more enjoyable!
How should a process for Family Governance be introduced, and how might it evolve over time within your Enterprising Family?
Jennifer Halyk explains in her 2012 article titled "Decisions, Decisions, Decisions: An Introduction to Governance in a Family Business System", how the type of family governance structures a family chooses to implement will evolve over time to meet the changing needs of the family, the business and the ownership group. Halyk highlights two factors that typically help to determine the best governance structures to adopt:
If looking for a starting point, structured family meetings are the simplest things you can introduce that will often yield the biggest benefit to everyone involved.
Other Resources
If you wish to learn more about considerations for timing and development of different governance structures for your own enterprising family, I highly recommend reading "Decisions, Decisions, Decisions: An introduction to Governance in a Family Business System" by Jennifer Halyk (2012).
We would also welcome the opportunity to connect with you directly to answer any questions you might have about introducing family meetings and other governance structures to help drive the success of your business while also making family dinners more enjoyable.

Guns are used by law enforcement personnel to deliver a lethal impact on a center mass area of a "bad guy" threatening the lives of others. Although this type of gun doesn't belong on EMS personnel, I've found one that can be used effectively to "shoot" a laser beam into a subject and help you assess them.
The same infrared temperature gun that heating and air conditioning technicians use effectively every day to read the temperature in structures can also be used to detect baseline temperatures and temperature changes in the field.
Before you go shooting down my EMS MacGyver tool, let me first review the role of temperature in EMS assessment.
In addition to the skin's key roles in maintaining our water content, insulating us from extremes of heat and cold, and acting as a barrier to protect us from infection, one of its major functions is regulating body temperature by changing the amount of blood circulating through the skin's surface. When a person is poorly perfused, the body pulls blood away from the surface of the skin and diverts it to the core of the body.(1)
This diversion of blood results in cool, moist or clammy skin and is a good initial assessment indicator of hypoperfusion and inadequate circulatory system function (i.e., shock). Personal touch is invaluable during assessment to pick up on the cool feel of the skin when a patient is in the early stages of shock, suffering from mild hypothermia or has inadequate tissue perfusion. The skin will often feel cold when a patient is in profound shock, or has hypothermia or frostbite.1 So let's be clear: Personal touch should never be replaced by a tool.
For internal temperature monitoring, specially designed oral and rectal thermometers are the standard to obtain the core temperature of a patient. But just as thermal imagers used by the fire service to detect heat sources during and after a fire have proven to be an invaluable tool in finding victims in and around an emergency scene (see photo above), I've found that an infrared temperature gun can be an effective tool that can be used in conjunction with the valuable touch of the skin that's taught in EMS training.
Infrared is basically heat radiation. Low-level infrared radiation carries information about the temperature distribution of the objects studied. It can also penetrate thick smoke, clouds and dust. This makes infrared cameras useful in search and rescue and firefighting by detecting body heat or finding people in a smoke-filled building. They're widely used in astronomy, meteorology, oceanography and archeology. They're also used in mechanical and electrical systems, animal studies, medicine, navigation, law enforcement, the military, as well as in food studies.(2)
The infrared temperature gun isn't designed to be used in place of a "people" thermometer, and it isn't as accurate as an oral or rectal thermometer because it isn't designed to probe to the same depth. However, they can be effective when used in rehab situations to shoot readings off such areas as the forehead, temple, inner ear, mouth, cheek, neck or a nasal tunnel and present providers with a reasonable baseline temperature and trend of readings. And with septic shock on the horizon as a demon that could be tamed easier if detected sooner in the field, I believe temperature assessment will be a more important vital sign in the future.
They cost around $45 in a hardware store, offer a rapid way to "shoot" an area of the body, get a baseline temperature in that area and alert you to an obvious high or low temperature. But more importantly, the infrared temperature gun gives you a simple and fast way to determine changing trends in area temperature.
Infrared guns bounce a laser beam off a body surface and present a digital display of the temperature in that area. It's best to avoid targeting areas where there's tough skin or bone that hides the heat. If you shoot in the inner ear or a nasal passage, the temperature readings you get will be close to tympanic temperature accuracy. But, like a laser pointer, you have to be careful not to allow the beam to contact a subject's eyes.
The above non-scientific photo series illustrates how this off-the-shelf "tool" works. I used ice cubes; Hawaiian Punch; a cool, wet towel; my pal Toby and myself as the test subjects. JEMS

Has anyone used the flat speaker wire that Axiom sells? I'm considering running some along a textured ceiling to my ATMOS height speakers (either on-wall M5HP or M3).
How easy is it to install? Can it be easily removed from the ceiling without taking off the textured plaster?
I might look in to running the wire in-ceiling if I can find someone to do it. But I thought I'd run the flat speaker wire first since I think I can handle that myself. I'm not the handiest "carpenter" so I don't think I'd be able to fish speaker wire in my ceiling

I've use the flat speaker wire before for one of my Qs8s. The wall it is on has no studs but a foam poured foundation so I could not run the wire in the walls for about 5 ft. For some reason I had a little problem with it sticking to the drywall, once I textured over it the weight of it started to fall off the wall. I had to spray a little 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to get it to stay, then once dried painted over it..For years now it has stayed on the wall fine.
I suppose it depends on your textured ceiling and what kind of paint is on it, if it sticks fine.
My problem is that I am switching to Atmos direct speakers which will be mounted lower, so I need to figure out how to splice in some more of the flat tape at a 90deg angle down another 4 ft from where my Qs is mounted.

Kingsbury is a district of northwest London in the London Borough of Brent. The name Kingsbury means "The King's Manor". Its ancient scope stretches north and west to include Queensbury and parts of Kenton and Wembley Park in other directions. Kingsbury was in 2001 a ward and in 2011 was identifiable with the Fryent and Barnhill wards approximately. About 25% of Kingsbury is Fryent Country Park, forming the southern quarter. It is of highly mixed density, ranging from high rise to suburban to a green wildlife reserve in the country park.
Kingsbury was historically a rural parish of a fairly modest 6.9 square kilometres (2.7 sq mi) in the Hundred of Gore and county of Middlesex.[1] It formerly included Queensbury.[2] Following local government redrawing of electoral wards Kingsbury corresponds to the Fryent and Barnhill wards and in all of its various older guises, a minority or all of the Queensbury ward.[3]
The early English kings had parted with their manor of Kingsbury long before the Conquest. An estate called Tunworth, in the northern part of Kingsbury parish, was granted by Edwy to his thegn Lyfing in 957. By 1066 it probably formed part of the manor of Kingsbury, which was then held by Wlward White, a thegn of the Confessor, and passed from him to Ernulf of Hesdin who died in 1097 and his lands passed to the family of Walter of Salisbury. Thereafter the overlordship of Kingsbury descended with Edgware manor. By 1086 on the Domesday survey of property, Ernulf's manor in Kingsbury had been subinfeudated to Albold as Lord. It was not mentioned again until 1317, when, under the name of the manor of Kingsbury, it belonged to Baldwin Poleyn of Tebworth.[4]
Kingsbury developed little in housing and population in the 19th century, remaining a polyfocal village. In this age, Oliver Goldsmith, writer and playwright, lived at Hyde Farm, Kingsbury (1771–1774); the third Lord Mansfield was buried at St. Andrew's churchyard in 1840.
Although it lay close to London, development started slowly, and it was not until after World War I that the district became built up. An aircraft industry was established in the part of Kingsbury adjacent to Hendon aerdrome during the war, while the road network was improved to cater for the British Empire Exhibition in nearby Wembley in 1924.[5] The number of inhabited houses in the civil parish increased from just 140 in 1901 to 3,937 in 1931. By 1951 this had risen to 11,776.[6] Between 1921 and 1931 Kingsbury's population increased by 796%.[5]
John Logie Baird's experimental television transmissions from the United Kingdom to Berlin, Germany were transmitted from the stable block of Kingsbury Manor, now the Veterans Club in Roe Green Park.
From 1923 to 1979 Kingsbury Road was the location of the Vanden Plas specialist motor body works, body makers for Bentley and later part of Austin, BMC, and British Leyland. The site is now Kingsbury Trading Estate. In 1894 Kingsbury was included in the urban district of Wembley. However, as Kingsbury had only three councillors on the urban district council to Wembley's nine, Kingsbury's councillors felt the needs of the area were not well-served. In 1900 Kingsbury became a separate urban district with six councillors. The new council was immediately involved in controversy and in 1906 it failed to make a rate or meet its financial commitments. Following an inquiry initiated by ratepayers, the councillors numbered nine, not halting fiscal accusations directed towards the initial three councillors.[7]
In 1934 the Kingsbury Urban District was abolished and merged once more in Wembley Urban District. The urban district became a municipal borough in 1937 and in 1965 the area became part of the London Borough of Brent.[7]
A congregation of Jews affiliated to the United Synagogue is first recorded in Kingsbury in 1939. In 1942 Eden Lodge at Kingsbury Green was registered for worship, becoming Kingsbury district synagogue in 1954. A new synagogue was built on the site by David Stern & Partners, architects, in 1967, in dark grey bricks with rough-cast buttresses, full-length stained glass windows and with a wooden roof.[8] The BBC play Bar Mitzvah Boy is a British television play, written by Jack Rosenthal and originally transmitted in the Play for Today anthology series on BBC1. Broadcast on 14 September 1976, the 75-minute production was directed by Michael Tuchner and produced by Graeme MacDonald. This was filmed in a house in Valley Drive Kingsbury.
In film, literature and music
The first two series of BBC children's drama Grange Hill were filmed at Kingsbury High School.[9] Video of Round Here, about George Michael's childhood, features Roe Green Park, Roe Green Primary School and other local landmarks.

6 Bay governors unite in drive to put runoff controls in highway bill
Bay region leaders and cleanup activists from around the watershed are hoping that a new federal highway bill can put the brakes on stormwater runoff into the Chesapeake.
Their goal is to require that any new or reconstructed highways using federal money install state-of-the-art stormwater controls to protect local streams and ultimately the Bay.
During the 1990s, the amount of impervious surfaces in the Bay watershed increased 41 percent while the overall population grew by only 8 percent. Much of that increase was driven by road construction. ...

1- some wall-climbing robots use a technology inspired by how geickos stick to wall, but don't look at all like a geicko. On the other side, you have some snake looking robots that move on wheels.
2- Let's explore more of the first category: how can you use the design from nature to create your robots? Let's start with the example of the snake robot, since they happen to mostly look like snakes too. Then I'll show you a mix of other robots that are really cool too.
Why snake robots anyway? Well, snakes can move in wild variety of conditions without using legs. They can go through very narrow pipes, climb very steep slopes, and use yet other techniques to go on sand, or on soapy floors, etc. They can even swim and climb trees. That's for adaptability.
So, scientists who are trying to create an animal robot want to reach as much adaptability as possible. Here are 2 robots inspired by snake: one (on the right) looks like a snake and is amphibious (that's already cool), and the other one (below) is trying to use a very safe and energy-efficient method of climbing very steep slopes, but doesn't look like a snake robot at all.
Snake robot by Prof. Hirose in Japan
Doesn't look like a snake, but moves like one. More info here
Now, these are already quite cool. But take a team of crazy heavy metal artists (I don't mean the music, I mean literally), and give them enough money for the parts (I heard the Kickstarter website was useful there), and see the results.
Of course, there are not only snake robots in the wild. You can find robotics bugs in almost every home: did you know the Roomba was inspired by ants and other small bugs?
You can also find some robot fish. While some are ultra realistic, others are designed for the entertainment. Like the Jessiko robot fish, created to swim in shoals and lighted up with LEDs for a beautiful spectacle.
They can swim along with real fishes
'What else?' you say. Many people have tried to create robots that can climb vertical walls. It's not a problem for geickos, and some laboratories have managed to create geicko like materials that stick on anything just like the animal legs.
Another robot, though not so much of animal robot, was inspired by lizards that use their tails for keeping balance in jumps. The actual robot is a little car with motorized tails, but they showed it could actually be used to control the momentum during the fall (which means they can make the robot turn in the air to land on its wheels). It's the same principle for cats too.

A record of bad credit can stay on your credit report for anything between two years to ten years. A judgement will stay on your credit report for five years, a default for two to five years, an administration order for 10 years, and a rehabilitation order for ten years.
A bad debt record on your credit report can be very damaging, not only for your hopes of getting more credit but also your reputation with your employers. While most creditors would reject your request for more credit on the basis of a bad credit record, it is even possible that some employers would not hire you if you have such a record on your credit report.
This is why it is important for you to make sure that any unfair instances of a bad credit record is removed from your credit report as soon as its period expires. Here is how you can go about doing this.
1. Study your credit reports:
Before anything else, what you need to do is order your credit report and check if there are any instances of a bad debt in it that should not be there. This should not be very difficult because you can get one credit report from each credit bureau every year for free.
Moreover, getting information about your personal finances through your statements and comparing them to your credit report should not be that difficult either.
2. Note the relevant period of bad credit:
Each type of bad credit information has a life span in credit reports which is mentioned above. You should see the starting date of bad credit on your credit report and assess if it should have expired. This way you can know if bad credit information needs to be removed, even if it was true in the past.
3. Collate proof of its unfairness or expiry:
Once you have spotted instances of bad credit that should not be there on your credit report, you can categorically go about collating proof of the same. Go through your personal finances and find documents that prove this.
4. Contact the relevant credit bureau:
After you have all the proof ready, you should contact the relevant credit bureau with a request to remove the bad credit information that should not be in your credit report in the first place.
You can contact them through the telephone or via email but you should be prepared to send the documented proof of your claims because they will require it.
5. Get the right credit report back:
The removal of bad credit from your credit report is called a dispute. If you have provided enough documentation to prove that the bad credit instance should be removed, the credit bureau would do it willingly.
However, it is important for you to ask them to send you a corrected credit report as this would allow you to ensure that your credit report is clean. You are entitled to this which is why if you request it, your request would be honoured by all three credit bureaus in South Africa.
Wrongful instances of bad credit on your credit report can be very damaging to your future. This is why you should follow the steps mentioned above to make sure that they are removed from your credit report.
Also, you should send your corrected credit report to all the third party organisations that have requested it in the last few years.

Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 2 - 3 years (2013-2014)
- Closure: Cork
Very deep, dark crimson red colour with dark red hue. The nose displays aromas of dark cherry, spice and dark raspberry, followed by a touch of earth as an end note. Medium weight, the palate is quite spicy with flavours of dark cherry, plum and meaty, earth like characters. Dry finish, with fine grained tannins. Aftertaste of dark cherry, spice and earth.
Cellar 2-3 years (2013-2014)
Alc 14.0%
Delas Freres has produced two other outstanding sleepers of the vintage, and both wines dramatically over-deliver for their appellations. The 2009 Cotes du Ventoux (80% Grenache and 20% Syrah) ratchets up the levels of intensity and richness beyond what one can usually find at such an incredibly fair price. Deep ruby/purple, with loads of texture and density, red and black fruits, a salty sea breeze note, and the classic seaweed wrapper found in sushi restaurants (nori) are all present in this generously endowed, corpulent wine.
Drink it over the next 4-5 years.

Kelvin Lukalmost 3 years agoThe results are very satisfactory. If you have any problems with acne and want to remove acne marks, I think that the explore beauty department can help everyone. I have seen results with the left several times. Before I helped to open another beauty salon, I suggested that I should do needle-clearing and do the same effect for the left ten times. After explore beauty professional advice was found, sometimes it was a facial application. After the end of the Qing Dynasty, it will be fine, but when the bottom layer has to be improved, it will go back and eventually it will feel useless. Sometimes the surface is very grave, but if the bottom of the skin is dirty, it will be useless to stir up the left surface and it will definitely go back again. For my kind of problem, I make a left one to call a product needle or a product, and the ingredient is a D seaweed extract. The process will have a thorny spine. It will be a day or two. I have asked a friend for the last few days. I: Are you looking like you are looking at the left side? I am happy when it is carved. Finally, remember to buy a canal to introduce both cleansing milk with cream, good moist with dry, acne are less left. I hope that I can finish this paragraph, the beautician can send more d product 俾 啦 啦 哈 哈 哈 哈 哈 哈 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
thomasalmost 3 years agoVery professional, serious attitude, very polite, very fast, very satisfied with the results. The first time I had a beauty experience, I had a lot of patience. I slowly talked to me about the need for whitening, moisturizing, or cleansing. Professional I was late to take a good attitude to wait until I completely black face to see my face more dry to send me moisturizing facial mask than I return to the company with the most important department will force you to buy thousands of mosquitoes tens of thousands of mosquitoes both sets of praise ~

A costly decision for consumers and Valio
The Market Court issued its decision on 26 June 2014 concerning the pricing of basic milks in Finland in the years 2010–2012. The Market Court decided to impose on Valio a sanction of 70 million euros for pricing in contradiction with the competition law in Finland during 2010–2012. The Court's decision will be very expensive both for Finland's consumers of basic milk and for Valio itself, which is owned by Finnish milk producers. Valio will lodge an appeal against the decision with the Supreme Administrative Court.
Valio's CEO Pekka Laaksonen:
"The decision prevents genuine competition in the milk market and shuts Valio out. The cost will be borne by consumers in an artificially high price for basic milk and by Valio in terms of a hampered ability to invest."
The decision means that all dairy players in Finland will benefit from the margin generated by Valio's entire innovative range with no particular contribution of their own to product development. Valio's price paid to producers includes the profit which is mostly generated by innovative products. According to the decision this producer price has to be considered as ingredient cost for basic milk, which has to be covered in the wholesale price. This means that all dairy players in Finland will benefit from an artificially high wholesale price for the most basic product, packaged milk. The cost will be borne by consumers in the higher price of basic milk and by Valio in terms of a hampered capacity to invest.
The Market Court's decision forbids Valio to operate a profitable basic milk business, reduces efficient competition in the marketplace, and raises consumer prices.
Valio has consistently reasoned the logic of its co-operative business to the authorities and the Market Court: Valio's mission is to pay the profit it generates to its owner-producers (via milk procurement co-operatives) through the price paid for the ingredient i.e. raw milk. Therefore, raw milk cannot qualify as Valio's "ingredient cost". Valio has also committed itself to process all milk produced by its owner-producers, so raw milk cannot be a variable i.e. avoidable cost for Valio.
The decisions of the Finnish Competition Authority (currently the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority) and the Market Court indicate that cost calculation and profit distribution in a co-operative business have not been understood. The decision conflicts with the reality, and this conflict has been underscored by a number of professors specialised in the subject. The Supreme Administrative Court will thus set a precedent in issuing a decision that defines e.g. whether the profit generated by a co-operative business is an avoidable cost in terms of competition law.
There are no former cases of legal proceedings on predatory pricing in Finland.
"There has been no similar case in the world where a company has been condemned for pricing too low in an instance where a low price is in the interests of both consumers and the company in the short and long term," stresses Valio's CEO Pekka Laaksonen.
The Finnish Competition Authority's decision has resulted in expensive milk for consumers, who in Finland have paid tens of millions of euros more for basic milk compared with the outcome of an efficiently price competitive milk market.
"We are disappointed that Valio's profitable alternative for processing milk and competing for customers in the years 2010–2012 is viewed as predatory pricing. The decision conflicts with the need for efficient competition. No such case has ever been brought in Finland and the country is equipped with little expertise in a matter such as this, so we expected that the decision might go against us. I am confident that we acted with sincerity in defending the Finnish dairy industry, jobs and milk producers in the face of fierce international price competition, which also worked in favour of consumers," says Valio's CEO Pekka Laaksonen.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels
I made these chocolate covered pretzels for Christmas, but I think they would be perfect for Valentines or any other special occasion. They are so easy!!
You will need:
sprinkles {optional}
Break up your chocolate into smaller chunks {or you could use chocolate chips}
Melt in the microwave, in 30 second increments.
Dip the pretzels until covered and place them on tin foil to harden.
You could be done here, or you can add sprinkles...
Or you can drizzle with a different color chocolate.
Done! Wasn't that easy?

The notion that a little-known Palestinian linguistics professor with no political support base of his own could be appointed Palestinian prime minister and somehow strengthen the West Bank's Palestinian Authority (PA), setting the stage for an eventual peace with Israel, was at best a little whimsical.
But Rami Hamdallah's attempted resignation after just two weeks on the job should demonstrate that such hopes, expressed by the US and Israel, were more folly than whimsy.
Agence France-Presse reports, citing a "PA official," that Mr. Hamdallah submitted a written resignation today "following disagreements with his two deputies."
While it's not clear yet whether Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will accept his resignation, it hardly matters. Mr. Hamdallah's technocratic predecessor Salam Fayyad tried to quit multiple times before it finally stuck. The fact will remain that whoever is given responsibility for day-to-day management of the PA will be hamstrung by a lack of political legitimacy, real control over the government's finances, and the absence of anything resembling a workable peace process.
Mr. Fayyad, who held his post for six years, in some ways jumped before he was pushed. He introduced changes into how the PA is governed that threatened the entrenched Fatah party that Mr. Abbas leads and for years had been at odds with Abbas, who also worried that Fayyad was building a power base of his own. Hamdallah is seen as both a less politically dynamic and less experienced politician than Fayyad, but had vowed to tread the same path while in power.
Clearly, he's been finding that rough going. The PA hasn't had a parliament since 2007, when Hamas swept PA elections and Abbas's Fatah party refused to concede power or defeat. A brief civil war split the Palestinian territories in two, with Hamas ruling Gaza and Fatah's central committee, with Abbas at its head, running the West Bank in the name of the PA.
The splintering of at least nominal Palestinian unity since 2007 has weakened the PA's standing with its own people and in potential negotiations with Israel, which has dramatically expanded settlements in the West Bank in the interim. There have been no elections since and while there have been occasional gestures toward political reunification, neither Hamas nor Fatah have been willing to compromise, and the US and Israel have been staunchly opposed, since those two nations consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
Whether Hamdallah stays or goes is irrelevant to the more important reailty: The dream of foreigners that a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian Authority largely disinterested in confrontation with Israel – which The New York Times columnist Tom Friedman amusingly called Fayyadism – is pretty much dead.
There is an aging group of Palestinian Liberation Organization and Fatah leaders around Abbas, who have failed to deliver the Palestinian state that the creation of the PA was all about. In the West Bank, there is no current political alternative to them. And Israel has grown very comfortable with the status quo, since the building of the separation wall has dramatically heightened their own security and the pro-settlement bloc in Israeli politics has gone from strength to strength.
While US Secretary of State John Kerry has been making vague promises of West Bank economic development and a restarted peace process, the position of the PA, reliant on external funding and taxes that Israel collects – and sometimes withholds – on its behalf, continues to deteriorate.
His weakness appears to be the very reason Hamdallah was attractive to Abbas in the first place.
"He's a gray figure," Gershon Baskin, an Israeli activist and expert on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, told Monitor reporter Joshua Mitnick earlier this month. "I think that Abbas was looking for someone who is an administrator and not a politician, while retaining the confidence of the international community that the PA would not become corrupt."
Gray figures aren't really going to cut it anymore. And while the average Palestinian doesn't like official corruption anymore than the "international community" does, mollifying the international community isn't what they - or any public - want out of their leaders, elected or appointed.
Meanwhile, as the situation grows tenser, Israelis fear a third intifada could be in the offing, and the prospects that the Palestinian Authority can accomplish what it was created to do continue to dim.

New airline card fees highlights need for urgent Government action
Following the announcement that two airlines - Swiss and Lufthansa – are to start charging customers for using debit and credit cards, Richard Lloyd, Executive Director of Which?, says:
"It's unbelievable that two airlines have introduced these card fees just weeks after the OFT agreed with us that they are unfair and misleading.
"Just one simple change to the Payment Services Directive would put an end to debit card surcharges for good. The Treasury must act quickly to do this before other airlines and businesses jump on the bandwagon and start charging these excessive fees."

Gielgud Theatre
35-37 Shaftesbury Avenue
(3mins) Take Shaftesbury Avenue along the side where the famous illuminated signs are. The theatre will be on your left about 100 metres along.
Some highly regarded and talented names join forces to bring the latest stage musical to the Gielgud Theatre in March. Joanna Riding will take on the role occupied by Anne Vernon onscreen in the stage version of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" at the London theatre in the spring. But that's not all, in addition to the experienced and celebrated stage actress, the Kneehigh Theatre's Emma Rice is also stepping up to the mantel as director, having made a huge impression with the company's "Brief Encounter" at the Haymarket Theatre in 2008.
"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" was originally a French musical film that inspired a stage version more than a decade after its premiere. The story is focused on young lovers Genevieve Emery and Guy Fouchier, the former a seventeen year-old-girl and the latter a twenty-year-old man that is about to head out on a combat tour of Algeria. His duties will force them apart but they make an important vow to one another – they will remain lovers throughout the combat and remain together once again upon his return. But a problem arises when Guy is away; Genevieve falls pregnant and a wealthy man offers her his hand in marriage, prompting her to choose between her vow with Guy or the promise of a comfortable life for her child in the hands of another man.
The movie musical first appeared onscreen in 1964 under the direction of Jacques Demy, who also put together "Lola" and "The Young Girls of Rochefort" as a loose trilogy. The stage version would follow over a decade later in 1979 on the other side of the Atlantic and it would lay the foundations of the current version gearing up for its run at the Gielgud Theatre. As such it appears in year that also welcomes new shows like "Million Dollar Musical" and "The Children's Hour"
Star Joanna Riding has appeared in a wealth of West End musicals and her efforts have paid off with two Laurence Olivier Awards during her time. The two awards came from "Carousel" at The National Theatre in 1993 and "My Fair Lady" at the National in 2003. Her other credits include "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the Chichester Festival Theatre, "Guys and Dolls" at the National Theatre and "The Witches of Eastwick" at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg appears at the Gielgud Theatre from Tuesday 22nd March 2011 (previews from Saturday 5th March 2011) to Saturday 1st October 2011.

Despite the railroad stocks delivering exceptional shareholder returns over the last few decades it's interesting how little is written about them on financial media sites. The most well known – Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP) – only has around a dozen articles on Seeking Alpha dated from the second half of the year. It makes sense I guess, I mean it isn't really a consumer facing kind of industry. Nor does it inspire the same amount of hype as, say, technology stocks do. It just seems to be one of those industries that a lot of folks don't ever take a second look at.
That said I really like these stocks for a number of reasons. First of all they basically form a natural oligopoly. Back in 1980 there were around 40 Class 1 railroads in operation in the United States. Today, after a long series of mergers, bankruptcies, reorganizations and so on, that figure is down to just seven. For the purposes of this piece I will concentrate on the three largest US-based railroads: Union Pacific, which I have covered briefly before; CSX Corporation (NYSE: CSX); and Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC). The latter two operate in the Eastern United States, while Union Pacific covers the area west of a hypothetical line running down from Milwaukee through Chicago, Memphis and New Orleans near the Gulf of Mexico. Between them we are talking about somewhere in the region of 70,000 miles worth of track. I mean imagine the obstacles to overcome in trying to replicate the sheer scale of that network. Not just the regulatory requirements in laying thousands of miles of steel track across a continent, but also the cost of doing so.
The second reason to like the railroads is that they act as a kind of toll booth on the economy. Think of the goods that require long-haul transportation by rail: things like automobiles, chemicals, natural resources, and so on. They are the kind of essential ingredients of modern day trade that aren't going away anytime soon. As long as the United States remains in business then so do the railroads, even if the nature and precise mix of goods hauled over them is prone to change.
This brings us onto the third and final point: these railroad companies are now more profitable than ever. Part of the reason for that lies in the oligopoly point above since many of the long-haul routes that we're talking about also represent the most viable, cost-effective option for transportation. Hauling by truck or airplane isn't worth it for various reasons (e.g. hauling by rail is something like 3x more fuel efficient than trucking), and a water route is a no-go for obvious reasons.
In addition there have been a plethora of operating efficiency gains made over the years. By that I mean things like the effect that automation has had on operating a railroad (e.g. reduced labor costs by automating certain manual jobs), and the general switch to computer/digital technology (e.g. better route planning, reducing bottle necks and so on). In terms of intermodal freight the latter point has been particularly important in competing with trucking's two previous competitive advantages: reliability and speed.
In any case you can see the results when you look at the railroads' financials. Over the five year period between 2011 and 2016 our big three posted average net profit margins of 18% and their combined return on capital is in the double digit territory (usually a good sign of a top business). Best in class winner Union Pacific is posting free cash cash flow margins and returns on capital that are north of 15%; an astonishing set of figures for what is supposed to be a capital intensive underlying business.
Pretty much the only reason not to like these stocks right now is their valuations. Check out how the forward price-to-earnings ratio of those three has moved over the past couple years. Now on the plus side that's been a great tailwind for any current stockholders. When you're going from the 15x annual profit area to the 20x area you're looking at an extra 33% to the stock price assuming all other factors being equal. It goes without saying but if that happens in the space of a two year period it's going to represent a very nice boost to a stock portfolio.
I'm making this point a lot recently but the downside risk for prospective shareholders, or even current ones who are reinvesting dividends or dollar cost averaging, is that this effect will go into reverse at some point in the future. For example Norfolk Southern stock is currently trading at around $127.50. This year it is on course to make around $6.45 per share in net profit, giving us a current price-to-earnings ratio of around 20. I looked up Norfolk's long-run average valuation and it lies somewhere in the region of 14-15x annual earnings. In other words if the market decided to cut Norfolk's valuation to its historical mean overnight then you'd be looking at a share price hit of 25%.
Again I've raised this point so many times on articles that I think I can jump straight to the conclusion here: the shorter your outlook the more dominant valuation swings tend to be. Conversely the longer you are willing to hold the less important it becomes because the shareholder returns equation gets dominated by the other two long-term factors, namely earnings growth and cash dividends. If your outlook is anything other than long term then don't buy the railroads right now. But as part of some dollar cost strategy or long-term buy-and-hold I probably wouldn't let it bother me. As I commented at the end of that Union Pacific article a recession would probably be a great time to load up on these for the long haul.

It's an aspect of my personality -- I love data and finding new ways to analyze it. In the case of our GNOME implementation I want to see exactly what software packages are being used and by whom. There are two benefits to this: 1) being able to focus on the software packages used the most 2) Being able to reach out to users when data indicates they might be having problems. Very often in a corporate/enterprise environment users will not call for support and their frustrations will grow, so our support portal has given us the ability to proactively make contact.
In the last few set of updates that I pushed, the "Usage" tab of the portal has been implemented and is now providing interesting data. The UI and buttons still need some alignments and work, but the data is there for viewing. On each refresh cycle it's now counting all clicks for the day and sorting them into the top four categories. And then underneath these categories it's how showing the top six users and their number of software clicks/launches. In the case of LibreOffice this might just mean they are editing a lot of files; it also might mean they are having a problem. In the shot below, I can now see the number of launches of "Evolution" for instance (marked in green) and then the blue shows the users underneath. There were some users with lots of launches and one of them is having problems with quota. The other user seems to be working in a manner of only opening one software application at a time and closing it before opening another. We are reaching out to both employees and offering to help. With these most recent changes, I've reached a milestone now where all features that we wanted to add are now complete and I'm moving to other projects.
Projects: Tomorrow we are working with a vendor to design and implement a LDAP server, and then will be connecting it to our Zimbra install and testing this type of authentication. Once that's in place, I'll connect it to Alfresco for similar testing. I also will be working again on the Ubuntu thin client updates for our workstations.

A man brandishing a handgun robbed a Main Street store in Sag Harbor Village on Tuesday night at approximately 5:50 p.m., and the suspect and a female accomplice were both still at large on Wednesday.
Sag Harbor Village Police responded to a 6:25 p.m. call from a passerby who reported an armed robbery at Corner Closet, a high-end consignment store on Main Street. Southampton Town and New York State Police were assisting in the investigation, but no arrests were made.
According to Sag Harbor Village Police Detective Jeffrey Proctor, two Hispanic suspects in their late 20s entered the store, and the male suspect immediately flashed the handgun and forced the store owner, Seena Stromberg, who was alone, to the rear of the store.
Over the course of the next half hour, she was placed in a storage area, and the man put her hands and legs in restraints, according to Village Police. The suspects returned to the front of the store, where they stole several items and then fled out the front door.
The store owner was able to get free from the restraints and exited the store, at which time she asked the passerby to call 911.
On Wednesday morning, Ms. Stromberg said the two appeared high on drugs, and that the man put the gun up to her head at times.
"Who pulls a gun in Sag Harbor?" Ms. Stromberg said on her way to the police station to provide more information, still obviously shaken by the experience. "You want to steal a bag, you steal a bag. I've never heard of a gun in Sag Harbor. I was afraid for my life."
Detective Proctor said no video surveillance from the store captured the assailants, but that police will be covering all their bases by examining footage from other Main Street cameras and canvassing the area for any witnesses.
At one point during the search on Tuesday evening, according to Southampton Town Police, a suspicious vehicle was pulled over on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, but the vehicle was deemed unrelated to the armed robbery. Several agencies assisted in a search for the suspects on Tuesday night and early Wednesday.
Sketches of the suspects will be available Wednesday night, and will be posted on 27east.com.
Corner Closet was closed Wednesday morning but was still in disarray, with an "Open" sign hanging in the window of the locked door and Tuesday's coffee cups on the counter above displaced shelves and handbags.

Hey babes! I hope you're all having an awesome day. I had planned to be posting as normal from Monday but that clearly didn't happen... I've been feeling really under the weather this past week and needed to take some time to chill out and listen to my body which really needed a rest. However, I think sometimes, living such busy lives in such a busy world, we forget to pause to take a second for ourselves. This week for me was a reminder of that - Sometimes you need to just listen to your body.
Anyway... Today, I wanted to share with you some footage that I took when I visited London during the summer. I dragged my pal, Natasha, along to Camden Market for the day and we had such a blast, laughing virtually non stop. The atmosphere in Camden was wonderfully eccentric and chilled, and I'm so glad we got to spend the day there, mooching around while having the chance to catch up.
I hope you get a sense of what Camden Market is like and have some giggles too! I was laughing non-stop when editing this :) Don't forget to follow me on YouTube for lots more videos and travel vlogs! ;)
Check back on Friday for a new post :)

Thought of creating a new thread for this :-
4 Great fast bowlers Vs. 4 Great Spinners, Which one will have more success and why ?
For example let's consider a bowling attack of bowlers since the mid 90s :-
Fast Bowlers :- 1. Mcgrath 2. Akram 3. Srinath 4. Vaas
Spinners :- 1. Warne 2. Murali 3. Kumble 4. Saqlain
Which one in your opinion will have more success ?Also tell us why do you think so.
EDIT :- Changed the No. 3/4(fast) bowlers, since members continued to ignore the assumption that Kumble/Saqlain should be considered as good as Warne/Murali.

I really wanted to do a nice post on Pentecost but I am struggling to write today. I was up all night with my youngest trying to cajole her to sleep. She isn't sick or even a newborn, she is just my wild child and likes to stay up … all night long. Poor poor me. Last night, after about the third time waking up for her, I soon went from cajoling to bargaining. "I promise you can have a popsicle for breakfast. Yes, o.k. two popsicles and a sugar cane farm." Then soon after that I started begging "Please baby you have to go to sleep, mommies' tired! Please for God's sake sleep!" Then I started demanding "You cannot talk, cry, or laugh!" "Can I breathe Mommy?" Then threatening, "If you don't stop yelling I will never give you milk ever again!" Then I started speaking the only Spanish I know "Aye! Dios Mio! Porque? Porque?" as I crossed myself and quietly whimpered into my pillow. Now, I am bone tired and she is running around like a little carburetor. How does that happen?
My Bone Tired Ode to Pentecost: I really feel The Holy Spirit had a large roll in making this blog a reality; pushing me to spill my secrets to the world for God. So to honor Pentecost albeit imperfectly, I offer the verse below and a link for more info. I am surprised that Pentecost isn't celebrated in a bigger and better way. Maybe it's because The Spirit is "the soft whisper". Still, next year (after the problem-child sleeps through the night) I'd like to do more. I plan to celebrate Pentecost by doing something special to honor The Spirit. These are a few of my ideas (Mass and prayer come standard): an international spicy food potluck, skydiving, cannonballs into the deep-end of a pool, a beach bonfire, birdwatching, Pentecost caroling, greeting everyone with "Peace be with you!", and a much better post than this one. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Reading 1, Acts 2:1-11
1 When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together,
2 when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting;
3 and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
5 Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven,
6 and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language.
7 They were amazed and astonished. 'Surely,' they said, 'all these men speaking are Galileans?
8 How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language?
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome-
11 Jews and proselytes alike — Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.'
