A portion of a Bucks County highway will be named for fallen Plymouth Township Police Officer Brad Fox, who was shot and killed in the line of duty in September 2012 while chasing a suspect after a crash.
The section of Route 263 that was chosen to be renamed the Officer Bradley M. Fox Memorial Highway travels past the ice skating rink where Fox played ice hockey in his youth, according to a press release issued by seven area legislators.
'It is important that we honor this local hero who fearlessly served his community, which is why I drafted the legislation to make the memorial highway possible,' said state Rep. Bernie O'Neill, R-Bucks County. The legislation renaming the section of highway is supported by state Reps. Kate Harper and Marcy Toepel, R-Montgomery; Sens. John Rafferty and Daylin Leach, R-Berks/Chester/Montgomery; Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-Bucks/Montgomery; and Sen. Bob Mensch, R-Berks/Bucks/Montgomery.
'We wanted his family and friends to have a place to remember his incredible heroism, selflessness and courage. Now all who travel this road will be aware,' the legislators said in a joint statement.
Fox, a seven-year veteran of the Plymouth Township police force, lived in New Hanover prior to his death. He was also a Marine, serving two tours of duty in Iraq. He left behind a wife, Lynsay; a daughter, Kadence; and a son, Bradley Fox Jr.
The section of highway will be renamed for Fox in a ceremony later this year.

I've wanted to get all the details of Kristen's birthday written down, but have had a hard time getting it done. The days leading up to May 7th were tough ones. Then to be followed so closely by Mother's Day...it left me emotionally tuckered out.
I'll start with something I ordered earlier this year...a Baby be Blessed doll. Ever since I found out about this ministry, I've wanted to get a doll for Kristen. Each doll is handmade and includes a scripture on its tummy. They have lots of colors and styles to choose from and are truly a joy to work with. Sweet Laura from BbB contacted me after I submitted my order to let me know that since it was a memory doll, they could include a photo or handprints/footprints along with the scripture patch. This preview was made into two patches to actually fit on the doll:
I love that Kristen's name and the scripture form a heart shape. The doll is just precious, too.
My oldest daughter is an amazing combination of technical and creative. She folded a garden full of tiny purple origami tulips and arranged them in the shape of a 2 for Kristen's birthday. After adding some fun effects to the photo, she included it in a collage print to frame as a surprise for the rest of the family.
Then she created a Basic program on her computer that, pixel by pixel, spelled out "Happy Birthday Kristen" and played the birthday song.
I was very touched to have a friend of Grace's bring me this pretty yellow rose in honor of Kristen's birthday.
Her mom sent a yummy cheesecake to work for us to enjoy during our Wednesday afternoon staff meeting. It was such a thoughtful thing to do! Though the flower and the cheesecake are both gone, they remain a beautiful reminder of how loved we are and that Kristen is not forgotten.
I was finally able to get the pink geraniums planted around Kristen's tree a couple of days before her birthday. In all honesty, geraniums have never been my favorite flower, but I wanted to have something pink around her tree that would look pretty on her birthday and continue to bloom throughout the summer. Geraniums fit the bill! The ones I planted last year were a solid pink. We went with a "designer" variety this year that are two-toned.
We woke Saturday morning to find a birthday balloon, some yellow and pink potted daisies and a beautiful stained glass purple solar light around Kristen's tree. I made a pink and white balloon wreath for the tree and hung it at 6:25 a.m. - the exact time of her birth. Someone brought a lovely bouquet by sometime while we were gone. The little tree looked beautiful!
The four of us released some bright pink balloons a little later. It was a beautiful morning, with just enough breeze to take the balloons up and away with a few notes.
We headed to Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, KS for a family day. We enjoyed seeing and interacting with a variety of animals, from penguins and armadillos to kangaroos and kookaburras. Grace fed a giraffe and a ring-tailed lemur, and Emily rode a camel. We drove out by Lake Afton and watched some remote control airplanes for a while. They even have a landing strip for them. We capped off the day with a delicious meal at Carriage Crossing in Yoder with my dad and step-mom.
|This little guy loved the craisins Grace fed him.
He even grabbed her hand!
|Camels are good at bumpy rides...
|This giraffe loved lettuce leaves.
Since we were gone most of the day (and had splurged on dessert at Carriage Crossing), we decided to hold the birthday treats over to Sunday. Will's parents joined us at church, then came back to the house for lunch. Will's younger sister and her family joined us, too, and we enjoyed BBQ brisket, baked potatoes, sweet green bean bundles and Mel's yummy pea salad, all followed by birthday cake and bread pudding.
We are a family of chocoholics. The requests for birthday cakes are always for chocolate cake. For whatever reason, though, whenever I think of Kristen's cake, it's always white cake. I frosted the two round layers with bright pink buttercream frosting, trimmed them in white and added a big monogram-type "K" to the center. It was a new cake recipe (definitely one I will make again), and it turned out beautifully. And I didn't get one single picture of it!
Bread pudding is also a "must-do" tradition for Kristen's birthday. I'll save that story for another post, but suffice it to say that bread pudding makes me smile.
By the time Sunday evening arrived, I was feeling an odd sense of relief at having made it through another of Kristen's birthdays and another Mother's Day, too. The days before had been such hard ones. The highs were not especially high, but the lows were extremely low. Extremes and tears at nearly every turn. And God continues to be faithful. He provided comfort, yet again, through loved ones who remembered us, and remembered Kristen. The support of my dear Respite Retreat friends was (and is) such a blessing. The sweet thoughts and prayers from friends that I've never even met in person are like a warm embrace. Thank you, one and all.
Dear Sweet Kristen,
I don't know what birthdays in heaven are like. Every day is beautiful and perfect, so maybe birthdays are just like any other day there. Here, however, your birthday is a tough one for me. I know it's a celebration of your birth, and that is absolutely a joyous occasion. But that joyous day has a line attached to the saddest day of my life. It's like a beautiful balloon with an ugly weight tied to it. Though I can't separate them, I can set my eyes on that balloon. You taught so many of us to look up, Little One. I'm doing my best to follow your lead.
All my love, Mommy

Yield Seekers Get Their Second Wind From Fed
The hunt for yield isn't over yet.
High-yielding corners of the stock market took a hit earlier in the summer, a casualty of worries over the Federal Reserve's commitment to easing.
The blow wasn't a fatal one: Heavy demand for new shares of dividend-paying companies shows that money managers are back on the hunt for yield. Key to this renewed...

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Senior Citizens Planning Council Fired Woman Because of Cancer, Federal Agency Charged
ABERDEEN, S.D. – The Area IV Senior Citizens Planning Council, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Aberdeen, violated federal civil rights laws by regarding an employee suffering with cancer as disabled and firing her for that reason, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint, Area IV terminated Eileen Job in 2008 when she sought to return to work after surgery for colon cancer. The EEOC alleges that Job was fully able to perform her duties as a kitchen assistant at Area IV's Bowdle, S.D., location. According to the EEOC, in firing Job, Area IV cited possible symptoms that could result from her course of chemotherapy treatments.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects employees and applicants from discrimination based on disabilities. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Area Four Senior Citizens Planning Council, Inc.; Civil Action No. 11-1022 CBK), was brought only after the agency first attempted to reach a pre-litigation settlement with the employer through the EEOC's conciliation process. In this case, the EEOC is seeking injunctive relief barring any future discrimination, and will seek back pay and compensatory and punitive damages on Job's behalf.
"While Area IV's mission as a non-profit is a valuable one, non-profit organizations must abide by the same laws as every other employer," said John Hendrickson, regional attorney for the EEOC's Chicago District Office, which has jurisdiction over South Dakota. "Our investigation showed that Area IV failed to put Eileen Job back to work because of fears, stereotypes and assumptions – none of which are legal grounds to make employment decisions."
Area IV is a South Dakota non-profit organization based in Aberdeen that provides meals for senior citizens. It operates sites in 36 South Dakota communities and is funded through federal and state grants as well as local donations.
The EEOC's legal team in its Minneapolis Area Office will conduct the litigation under the management of the agency's Chicago District Office. That office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Head on over to the WWD Meeting and let your voice be heard! There's no set topic, so feel free to bring up any and all ideas/thoughts/comments/interests. Remember to keep it civil, as always
Please check out this thread, and request any coven preferences you have within one week.
In light of the recent suggestions in the WWD Meeting, we've updated the Neutral character parameters here. A few changes of note are:
- When you can have your first Neutral character (level 3).
- You now only need to submit a bio without first requesting permission from a Guide or Warlord.
- Characters will be approved after one Guide/Warlord each has approved them, speeding up the playing process. If your character is human or does not have a custom power, they'll be playable virtually immediately. If they have a custom power, the character can be approved independently of the power, meaning you can at least play your Neutral character while the custom power is pending.
The Guides are pleased and tickled pink to introduce a new and improved Sentinels faction and a brand new FGB Alliance: The Curtain. For more information on both and instructions on signing up, head over to the Faction and Alliance thread here.
Maybe its just us here at The Times-Picayune, but civilization and nature itself seem to be off kilter lately.
There are certain unsurprising things: the wars and strife of day-to-day life, political gambits and speeches no one listens to. Then there are things that simply dont make any sense.
An entire village in Alaska has been abandoned. Rallies in Egypt supporting a virtual nobody in an immediate recall election for its sitting President took the EU by storm. The response was so scattered amongst EU Parliamentarians, in fact, that a floor fight broke out in what has long been considered a fairly even-minded body.
Riots in Peru and Argentina have showered local headlines this last week, support only growing for what is considered a fringe third-party group for upcoming elections. In Colorado, a misunderstanding over a misplaced bag of weed left forty-seven dead in a shoot-out gone horribly, dreadfully awry.
While natural disasters are no foreign matter to the people of New Orleans, there also seems to be an uptick of those throughout the immediate area. Tornados have touched down in neighboring states like Florida and Mississippi, three hurricanes have appeared on radar (in March?), and an earthquake from a few miles outside of New Orleans rocked the city to its levies.
We at The Times-Picayune will, as always, keep you updated on any key developments as they unfold. Between you and us, though, were hedging our bets an apocalypse is on the way
Plotting has never been easier. Get together with your friends and other players here and plot romances, drama, action and, of course, ideas for the upcoming WWD: Apocalypse arc!
A series of tweets originating in the Belle Chasse area of Harvey, Louisiana have left local law enforcement scurrying.

A big, fat, edible birthday
Two years ago, around this time, I was nervously plotting my exit strategy from DailyCandy and losing sleep over the massive, life changing decision I'd made to go work on an oyster farm for a year. I was turning 31 and life was about to turn upside down. That year, Dave and I celebrated the roller coaster that was our lives with dinner at Craigie on Main, which had just moved to its new location in Central Square. As we sat ringside overlooking the kitchen and chef Tony Maws as he worked, Dave presented me with a card which I opened to find a very loving message of support and a print out of an order he'd placed earlier that day. He was giving me my first pair of waders for my birthday.
It was a sweet, hysterical moment for both of us. We had no idea what was about to happen or where this path would take us. We didn't realize that it would be so physically and mentally grueling yet turn out just as rewarding. We weren't aware that ungodly early mornings, crazy travel adventures, smelly gloves, and shucking knives would become part of our daily conversation. Or that a whole new family of oyster farmers and friends would enter and take permanent residency in our lives. But here we are, two years and a million good laughs later, without a single regret and even crazier adventures to look forward to.
This year, I turned 33 and am staring down a completely different type of life change. The book will be out this fall, turning my fantastical, odd life story into something physical that will be out there for the masses. (Writing it has turned out to be just as difficult as some of the oyster work was... only, easier on the lower back.) Other than that, my future is a blank slate. I have a million ideas, just a few of which are as zany as this last one, but still, I have no idea what's next.
In the meantime, I'm eating. Birthday eating has always been an entertaining sport, something to mark the occasion. I've never thought much about blogging what I eat (except for extreme cases) and sort of liken myself to this guy, who has a hard time recalling what he eats even though he writes about food. But when I eat really well in one single day, like I did on my birthday last Friday, I think it's worth noting.
I started my day writing about white truffles and continued on the exotic route with lunch at Coppa where my friend Nicole and I devoured an uni (sea urchin) panini and addictive beef tongue crostini. We followed that up with a wild boar ragu over chestnut fettuccine (a dinner special that chef Jamie Bissonnette tempted us into trying for lunch) and, finally, a dessert of bianco pizza sprinkled with chile oil.
Despite the insanely large lunch (especially for someone who works from home and may take time for a cup of soup and a handful of nuts when she looks up from the keyboard), I was starving in time for dinner at newly opened Bondir in Cambridge. I was so excited for this meal (especially after receiving the requisite: "dude, should be sweet" from both Bissonnette and chef Louis DiBicarri earlier that day) and was in no way disappointed. Chef Jason Bond was most recently at Beacon Hill Bistro, making this his first solo endeavor. The menu changes daily and I love the way he's set it up because everything on it, besides a few apps, come as half portions, giving Dave and I the opportunity to eat almost everything available that day (a table of four sitting next to us actually did that).
I died over a couple of his dishes, including a mountain of handmade burrata over shaved fennel and an Indian-style flatbread (the burrata is made in Everett and I'm now on the hunt for more), as well as a rich, elegant bouillabaisse risotto topped with a few clams and tender pieces of fish. The spice milk broth and shellfish ragu that went into the dish turned the rice into something unctuous and delicious - straight from the sea. We also tried something I'd never tasted, Chatham Rose Fish which had the silky, melt-on-your-tongue texture of goose liver. Another ingredient I need to track down more of. (Local, available in winter? Who else catches or uses this?)
There were no birthday candles in our Chocolate Enlightenment dessert -- only fireworks. The pyramid of heady chocolate was topped with a savory tea foam and sat on top of hazelnut dacquoise. I think we lapped up every last bite, a true testament to its ridiculousness.
It's been a struggle to come down off that high but there's nothing like the sobering reality of 15 inches of snow to bring an end to the merry making. I was thinking of nothing but the farm this morning when I woke up to find this outside my door.
I'm sure the oysters will be fine. I just hope the Plex is stocked with plenty of propane.

The TV landscape is turning into a "Game of Thrones" judging by the 66th Primetime Emmy nominations announced Thursday morning.
HBO is still king, with 99 nominations. But its fortunes slipped a bit. (The premium channel had 108 nods last year.) And networks ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC all saw their nomination tally dip, too. It's a different story, though, for FX, Netflix, and even PBS, which all saw a dramatic rise in their nomination haul.
Emmy nominations 2014: List of nominees
FX had 45 nominations Thursday morning -- the majority for its two miniseries, "Fargo" and "American Horror Story: Coven." That's way up from the 26 nominations it received a year ago. Meanwhile, streaming service Netflix earned 31 nominations Thursday, with the bulk going to its series "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black." That was more than double the 14 nods Netflix scored last year. And PBS, thanks primarily to "Downton Abbey" and "Sherlock: His Last Vow," pulled in 34 nominations this year -- up from last year's 25 nods.
HBO's "Game of Thrones" on Thursday morning dominated the nominations with 19, including for best drama series. FX's miniseries "Fargo" followed with 18, and its "American Horror Story: Coven" took third place with 17 nominations.
Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Ricky Gervais, Jon Hamm, Billy Bob Thornton, Claire Danes, Jessica Lange, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Julianna Margulies and the beloved Maggie Smith were among the familiar faces earning Emmy nominations Thursday.
The nominations mean that one of the most exciting races of the upcoming Emmy Awards will be in the best drama series category, with "Game of Thrones" facing off with "Breaking Bad," "True Detective," "House of Cards," "Mad Men" and "Downton Abbey."
Emmys 2014: Full coverage | Top nominees | Live chats with stars
In the best comedy series category, four-time winner "Modern Family" goes up against fellow veterans "The Big Bang Theory," "Louie" and "Veep" and newcomers "Silicon Valley" and "Orange Is the New Black," which led the pack with 12 nominations, including lead actress for Taylor Schilling.
"Breaking Bad" -- the acclaimed series that ended its run last September -- earned a total of 16 nominations, including nods for actor for Bryan Cranston and supporting actor for Aaron Paul.
In the lead actor in a drama series category, Jeff Daniels -- who won last year for "The Newsroom" -- goes up against Kevin Spacey for "House of Cards," Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson for "True Detective," as well as Cranston for "Breaking Bad" and Hamm for "Mad Men." Nominated for lead actress in a drama series are Robin Wright for "House of Cards," Lizzy Caplan for "Masters of Sex," Michelle Dockery for "Downton Abbey," Kerry Washington for "Scandal," Danes for "Homeland" and Margulies for "The Good Wife."
In the lead actor in a comedy series category, Jim Parsons for "The Big Bang Theory" is nominated along with Gervais for "Derek," Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes," Don Cheadle for "House of Lies," Louis C.K. for "Louie," and William H. Macy for "Shameless." Schilling and Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep") were nominated in the lead actress in a comedy series category along with Lena Dunham for "Girls," Melissa McCarthy for "Mike & Molly," Edie Falco for "Nurse Jackie," and Amy Poehler for "Parks and Recreation."
Timeline: Emmy winners through the years
Joining "Coven" and "Fargo" in the miniseries category are "Bonnie & Clyde" "Luther," "Treme" and "The White Queen."
The AIDS drama "The Normal Heart" garnered the most nominations for a TV movie, with 16 nods, including best TV movie and one for its lead actor, Mark Ruffalo. "Normal Heart" is vying in the best TV movie category against "Killing Kennedy," "Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight," "Sherlock: His Last Vow" and "The Trip to Bountiful."
Joining Ruffalo in the lead actor in a miniseries or movie race are Thornton and Martin Freeman for "Fargo," Chiwetel Ejiofor for "Dancing on the Edge," Idris Elba for "Luther" and Benedict Cumberbatch for "Sherlock: His Last Vow." Lead actress in a miniseries nominations went to Lange and Sarah Paulson for "Coven," Helena Bonham Carter for "Burton and Taylor," Minnie Driver in "Return to Zero," Kristen Wiig for "The Spoils of Babylon" and Cicely Tyson for "The Trip to Bountiful."
Of course, there were surprises and snubs among the nominations. Critics darling Tatiana Maslany of "Orphan Black" was overlooked, while Gervais got a nod. And "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," which won the Golden Globes award earlier for best comedy as well as lead actor in a comedy for Andy Samberg, failed to get Emmy nominations in either category.
The Emmy Awards, which will be hosted by comedian Seth Meyers of NBC's "Late Night With Seth Meyers," will take place Aug. 25 and will be telecast live on NBC from Nokia Theatre.
The nominations were announced by Mindy Kaling and Carson Daly from the Television Academy in North Hollywood.

Computex, Taiwan, May 31, 2011- SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash memory storage solutions, today introduced two new solid state drives (SSDs) for the mobile computing market. The U100 drive, successor to the popular SanDisk® P4 modular SSD series, delivers a flexible, cost-effective solution for ultra-thin notebooks. The SanDisk® iSSD™ integrated storage device series' i100 drive is the world's smallest, fastest 128 gigabyte (GB)2 (SATA III) BGA (ball grid array) SSD and an ideal storage solution for slim, powerful tablets and ultra-thin notebooks.
The new SSDs utilize the high-performance SATA III interface to improve application loading times, web-browsing speeds, multimedia synchronization, file-transfer rates and overall system responsiveness. The drives employ a low-power architecture that reduces power consumption to as low as 10mW1. This combination of high performance and low power allows OEMs to develop feature-rich products with longer battery life.
"Our deep involvement with key ecosystem stakeholders allows us to align our products with fast-moving market requirements," said Rizwan Ahmed, director, SSD product marketing, SanDisk. "We develop low-power, high-performance SATA SSDs that optimally fit into a growing number of thin client devices."
SanDisk® SSD Series' U100 Drive for Ultra-Thin Notebooks
The U100 drive builds upon the successful SanDisk P4 modular SSD series, which enjoyed widespread adoption among ultra-thin notebooks and other mobile computing platforms. U100 supports an array of design needs and is available in a variety of form factors, including Half-Slim SATA SSD, mSATA, mSATA mini, 2.5" cased, as well as customized modules.
The U100 drive delivers fast SATA III performance with up to 450 megabyte per second (MB/sec)3 sequential read and up to 340MB/sec sequential write speeds3. The drive's low-power architecture allows OEMs to extend their products' battery life while maintaining high performance. The drive is available in 8GB to 256GB capacities, and OEMs, attracted to the outstanding price/performance value proposition, are already successfully integrating the new SSD into their next-generation platforms.
SanDisk® iSSD™ for Tablets
The i100 drive is the smallest, fastest 128GB (SATA III) BGA-based SSD on the market and the newest product in the SanDisk iSSD integrated storage device series. The drive is available in 8GB to 128GB capacities, offering OEMs a flexible range of storage options.

Title: Directly Detecting the BYORP effect and further characterization of near- Earth asteroid binaries
Abstract: The purpose of the proposed observations is to directly detect the binary YORP (BYORP) effect on near-Earth asteroid (NEA) synchronous binary systems and further characterize the orbits and shapes of the binary components for possible future spacecraft deployment. We will observe the light curve fluctuations and mutual events of 88710 (2001 SL_9). Combining this data with similar observations from previous epochs, we intend to precisely measure the drift in mean longitude over time, determine the mutual orbital elements to high precision, and determine the orbit pole position. With these data and a theoretical understanding of the BYORP effect, we will either determine the strength of the BYORP effect on the system or place an upper limit on the strength of the effect to be brought lower with future observations. The BYORP effect evolves the semi-major axis of synchronous or librating satellites, either expanding or shrinking the orbit. The sum of the forces from incident solar radiation and emitted thermal radiation on the secondary will typically average to zero over the course of many mutual orbits and so the mutual orbits of asynchronous binary asteroids do not evolve. When the secondary is synchronous, these radiative forces do not average out, but in this situation the forces add on top of each other projecting either in the direction of motion or against, growing or shrinking the orbit. Confirming the BYORP effect will be significant for our understanding of asteroid evolution.

A group of young people yesterday took the initiative to show their friendliness and appreciation for Filipino workers in Taiwan amid ongoing tensions between the two countries over the killing of a Taiwanese fisherman last week by Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) personnel.
Holding up Chinese and English signs that read "I'm Taiwanese supporting Filipino workers" and "The government's wrongdoing should not be shouldered by innocent people," the young people stood outside St Christopher's Church in Taipei, which has a large Filipino congregation, early yesterday morning before the first Mass in Tagalog started at 7:30am.
"There's no organization behind us, I invited my friends to join me in the action on Facebook and they forwarded the invitation to their friends," said Lee Chun-ta (李俊達), a graduate student who initiated the event.
He said that despite the difference in language and culture, Filipino workers are no different from Hung Shih-cheng (洪石成), the Taiwanese fisherman shot dead by the PCG personnel.
"They are all hardworking people trying to make a living," he said.
Another female demonstrator, also surnamed Lee (李), said that Filipino workers and domestic caregivers make a big contribution to Taiwan.
"Filipino workers fill up the gap in our social welfare network. They take care of our elderly and children so that people can work without worrying. They also work on assembly lines or in construction site jobs that many Taiwanese workers don't want to do," she said.
"Filipino workers should not shoulder responsibility for their government's wrongdoing. It's just like we Taiwanese wouldn't want to be held responsible for what President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) does," Lee said.
Many Filipino workers as well as a Filipino priest stopped to express their gratitude for the support and took pictures with the students.
"I work as a domestic caregiver and my boss and his family treats me very well, so I don't feel threatened at work," Filipino worker Ana Baltazar said. "But I am really worried that the Taiwanese government's policies may affect my job."
Baltazar said she has only been working in Taiwan for five months and is worried that she may not be able to come back after her three-year contract ends.
"I came to Taiwan to work because I have no job in the Philippines, but I have two children to raise and I am separated from my husband," Baltazar said. "I make NT$15,840 a month, but after deduction of broker and government fees, I only get a little over NT$12,000. Half of that money is wired to my family and the other half goes to repay the loan that I took out to come to Taiwan."
Santiago Salud, a Filipino who has married a Taiwanese, said he understands the suffering of the fisherman's family, but urged the public not to blame Filipinos in Taiwan.
"I know how the family feels because I used to be a fisherman as well and I've worked on a Taiwanese fishing vessel. I know how hard it is at sea," he said.
While the Philippine government said Hung's vessel had crossed into Philippine waters, Salud said he did not know exactly what happened, but based on his own experiences, it is not always easy to tell where a boundary is since they are not marked on the sea.
However, whatever may have happened, he said there was no justification for shooting dead an unarmed fisherman.

MILWAUKEE — Aramis Ramirez's two-run double in the fourth inning proved to be the deciding factor as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves, 2-0, on Opening Day for both teams.
MILWAUKEE — Aramis Ramirez's two-run double in the fourth inning proved to be the deciding factor as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Atlanta Braves, 2-0, on Opening Day for both teams.
Julio Teheran (0-1) walked Jean Segura to start off the bottom of the fourth and Ryan Braun's line-drive single to left provided the Brewers with men at first and third and no outs. Braun then stole second before Ramirez's liner down the left-field line brought both runners around to make it a 2-0 game.
Jonathan Lucroy, Scooter Gennett and Ramirez all went 2-for-3 for the Brewers. Yovani Gallardo (1-0) surrendered four hits and two walks with four strikeouts across six scoreless innings, while Francisco Rodriguez struck out two batters in the final frame to earn the save.
Rodriguez returned to the Brewers on a one-year deal after he was traded to Baltimore last July.
Andrelton Simmons, who was locked up with a seven-year deal in the offseason after winning a gold glove at shortstop last season, had two of the Braves' five hits in the loss. Teheran conceded both runs on seven hits with one walk and two strikeouts in six innings of work.
Teheran and the Braves agreed to a six-year contract with an option for the 2020 season on Feb. 14.
The first overturned play under the new replay challenge system occurred in the bottom of the sixth. Braun was initially called safe on a single after he grounded over to third. Chris Johnson's throw from third to first appeared to beat Braun, but first base umpire Greg Gibson deemed the runner safe.
Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez quickly came out of the dugout to challenge the call. The replay showed that the throw beat Braun's foot to the bag and the replay headquarters in New York overturned the call on the field.
Braun was greeted with a prolonged standing ovation from the home crowd in his first at-bat since his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal gave him a 65- game suspension to end last season. He flied out to left to end the first inning.
The Brewers had a chance to add to their lead in the fifth. Gennett led off the frame with a single out to left and Gallardo's sac bunt moved him over to second. After Carlos Gomez grounded out, Jean Segura lifted a ball out to right that Jason Heyward grabbed at the warning track to end the inning.
Johnson sent a line drive to the left-field wall for a double with one out in the sixth. Justin Upton's groundout moved him over to third, but Dan Uggla popped out to center to strand a runner in scoring position.
After Will Smith retired the Braves' top of the lineup in order during the eighth, Rodriguez entered the game in the ninth and struck out Johnson to start the frame. Upton then singled to left field and Uggla's grounder deflected off Rodriguez's glove and bounced to Gennett, who recorded the out at second but could not turn the double play as Uggla made it to first safely on the forceout.
Rodriguez struck out Evan Gattis with a changeup to end the game, however.
Game Notes: Gallardo moved into second place on the Brewers' all-time strikeout list with 1,084. Ben Sheets is in first with 1,206 strikeouts … Gallardo is also the first Milwaukee pitcher to start in five consecutive season openers … The Brewers increased their Opening Day record to 25-20-1, while the Braves are 22-27 since moving to Atlanta in 1966 … This is just the second time the Braves and Brewers have played in a season opener and the first since 1998, when the Braves won, 2-1, at Turner Field.

AITOR is a Spanish knife manufacturer produced under the brand Pielcu and they're producing some fine quality, excellent designs at reasonable prices. They gravitate toward supplying the true survivalist but AITOR also makes one of the coolest tactical blades we've seen in the Oso Negro. It's reminiscent of a Rambo style bowie knife but with a generous re-curve to the blade and extremely functional saw teeth on the spine. In fact all the survival designs with these same saw teeth are extremely sharp and bite really well for improved cutting performance. Sheaths on the AITOR survival knives are equipped with a small survival pack in a hidden compartment which generally include fishing and sewing kits, scalpel, compass, latex tubes (which can also attach to legs on the sheath to be used as a slingshot for hunting), and many other items depending on the particular model. They make camping utensils and other utility folding knives that are simple designs and good values for their overall quality. Check out the all the AITOR models at www.knifecenter.com.

Three Teens Arrested for Attempt Robbery
On January 14, 2009, three Lincoln teens were arrested for the October 14, 2008 Robbery at George's Auto Sales, 1500 Cornhusker Highway. During the initial report, Terrance Nevels and Andrew Casteneda stated that they were speaking with George Kholousi in the dealership lot. They were discussing the possible purchase of a vehicle. Suddenly, an unknown male approached them, displayed a handgun and demanded money. Terrance gave the $1600 he had in his pocket while George, who thought it was a joke, laughed. The assailant shot George in the leg before fleeing the scene. George received treatment at a local hospital for the injury.
Through countless interviews, investigators determined that Terrance Nevels and Andrew Casteneda were accomplices in the robbery. They were to act like they were looking at cars in order to lure George Kholousi outside. Darious Fletcher has been identified as the shooter. All three were arrested for 1st degree Assault, Attempt Robbery and two counts of Use of a Firearm to Commit a Felony. Terrance Nevels was lodged at the Lancaster County Jail while Andrew Casteneda and Darious Fletcher were taken to the Youth Detention Center.

Set up more checklists in the screen builder or compare the expert models below...
The price-to-book ratio, or P/B ratio, is a financial ratio used to compare a company's book value to its current market price and is a key metric for value investors. Book value denotes the portion of the company held by the shareholders; in other words, the company's assets less its total liabilities. This is calculated as the Current Price divided by the latest annual Book Value Per Share (The inverse ratio is known as book to market). We exclude preferred shares in the calculation of Book Value.
As with most ratios, it varies a fair amount by industry (companies that require more infrastructure capital will usually trade at P/B ratios much lower than, for example, consulting firms). P/B ratios are often used to compare banks, because most assets and liabilities of banks are constantly valued at market values. This version includes intangible assets and goodwill, unlike price to tangible book value. The price / book value ratio rarely falls below 1
This is a key metric for value investors, whereas growth investors typically believe that book value reveals very little about a company's prospects for future performance.
The price / book value ratio rarely falls below 1.0. As with most ratios, it varies a fair amount by industry (companies that require more infrastructure capital will usually trade at P/B ratios much lower than, for example, consulting firms). P/B ratios are often used to compare banks, because most assets and liabilities of banks are constantly valued at market values.
A company that can't make an ROE greater than its cost of capital may be expected to have a low price to book. Therefore, look for a low PBV combined with a high ROE and low default risk.
Net Debt is the sum of all short term debt, and notes payables, Long Term debt and preferred equity minus the total cash and equivalents and short term investments for the most recent reporting period.
Net debt is the level of debt remaining assuming all cash and equivalents were used to immediately pay off debt. Please note that a negative net debt number means more cash than debt (i.e. net cash).
Some industries may have more net debt than others; therefore, investors often compare a company's net debt to others in the same line of business. It is usually considered as a ratio versus the total assets of the company.
For how many consecutive years has the company been priced on the stock exchange?
The Market Cap is a measure of a company's size - or specifically its total equity valuation. It is calculated by multiplying the current Share Price by the current number of Shares Outstanding. It is stated in Pounds Sterling.
Market Capitalisation only takes into account the value of the company's shares (equity), it ignores the amount of debt a company may have taken on and therefore isn't the best indicator of the company's size. The Enterprise Value adds the net debt to the Market Cap and is a better indicator of the minimum amount that an acquiring company may have to pay to buy the firm outright.
This measures the absolute percentage performance of the share price over the past three years.
It is calculated as (Current Price minus Old Price) divided by Old Price x 100.
Academic research by deBondt and Thaler illustrates that 3 year losers have a tendency to outperform 3y winners. This is the concept of mean reversion at work. Some have suggested that momentum and value investing are correlated.

Top model Karlie Kloss waxes lyrical about ballet and jet-setting across the world whilst still in high school for 'W' magazine's 'Screen Tests' film.
27 June 2012
19-year-old model Karlie Kloss is at the top of her game. If the name doesn't ring a bell, all you need to do to check out the brunette beauty in action is flick through a glossy style magazine and you'll see her face, with its peaked eyebrows and beguilng stare featured in countless advertising campaigns and shoots.
IN PICTURES: Teenage supermodel Karlie Kloss in action
It would be too easy to get wrapped up with feelings of envy at the American teenager's delicate 6ft-plus frame (Karlie was recently dubbed 'The Body' by Vogue Italia ) - but we know first-hand that she's adorable in person and that one of her favourite hobbies is baking cookies , making her all the more 'normal'.
WATCH: Backstage with schoolgirl and supermodel Karlie Kloss
The fun-loving face of Elie Saab has been interviewed on camera by Lynn Hirschberg for W magazine's 'Screen Tests', whose current issue Kloss graces the cover of.
Her fingers dance across the screen as she talks about always being the tallest wherever she goes, her high school prom "I wore Dior!!" (and which saw her tower over her date by approximately a foot) and her all-consuming passion before modelling, ballet: "I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period."
So sit back, watch and be enamoured by this level-headed, passionate young creature and her fashionable - and not so fashionable, anecdotes.

Many supporters of budget cuts in Britain and elsewhere have looked to the Republic of Ireland as a model of how a country deep in recession has made significant cuts to its budget. Although some have held Ireland up as a model for the rest of the world, I think this is a serious misreading of the Republic's policies and it risks mistakenly discrediting the austerity approach. In fact, Ireland has been highly ambivalent in its budget cuts and is facing economic turmoil because of its bailouts in the banking sector.
Although the Irish government has made admirable cuts to current and capital expenditures, it has played Russian roulette with the financial sector, temporarily guaranteeing the values of all deposits in case of bank failures. The Irish government has nationalized Anglo Irish Bank, which was heavily involved in the property sector and, as nearly all economists agree, is not systemically integral to the Irish economy. According to Standard & Poors, the cost to the Irish taxpayer of this nationalization may be up to €25 billion – over €6,650 for every person in Ireland. Worse still, the government has committed to a massive junk bond purchase scheme under the 'bad bank' called the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA), which will buy toxic assets from Irish banks in order to preserve the current banking system. This scheme is estimated to cost up to €80 billion, or over €16,650 per person. The total cost of the Anglo Irish and NAMA schemes will be at least €105 billion – just under €22,000 per person. Both schemes are utterly misguided, driven by the belief that banks cannot be allowed to fail. In fact, it is this very failure that allows free market capitalism to work.
Ireland is a member of the eurozone, and as a result it has neither the advantages of a fiat currency that it can adjust to its own situation nor the stability that comes from a commodity-backed currency. (This is not to mention the role of the euro in creating Ireland's current situation, but that's a story for another day.) As a result of this monetary paralysis, Ireland is forced to rely on borrowing to fund its massive deficit, which is estimated to exceed 20 percent of Irish GDP this year, and which is in large part caused by the government's commitment to preventing any instability in the entire financial sector. Yesterday, the yield from Ireland's government debt overtook that of Iceland's – meaning that international bond markets see Ireland's position as being more perilous than that of Iceland. Some commentators are even predicting a sovereign default by the Irish government, though even this may be preferable to the current situation.
Ireland is notable to the world as a warning of the dangers of financial bailouts and the sacrifice of monetary sovereignty. But it is not implementing austerity, and it is no model for Britain.

Antique Japanese Girl's Day doll and wooden display stand. This old doll is in fair to good condition with some marks and scratches and slightly worn and faded fabric. The wooden stand is hand-painted and has some marks and scratches. The doll and stand date from the mid Japanese Showa period (1926-1989) or before and the doll may be missing some of its original accessories. Modern Girl's Day dolls include bodies which are often made of plastic or other composite materials, while old dolls such as this usually have bodies made of tightly packed rice straw or solid wood with hand-painted ceramic or plaster heads displaying striking features. The neck of these older dolls is usually made of a sharpened stick or square nail which is used to secure the head to the doll's body. Removing the head (pull gently) reveals the body beneath the layers of textured cloth and paper clothes and shows the head to be a unique and artistic piece of work in its own right. In fact, particularly well made or very old Japanese doll heads are sometimes more highly sought after than the complete dolls they were originally attached to! This doll may have originally belonged to a larger set of dolls which are given to young Japanese girls to arrange and display in the family home in the days leading up to the March 3rd celebration of Girl's Day, which is a traditional Japanese holiday dedicated to little girls throughout the country. Please read below to learn more about this very old and special Japanese tradition. And please click here to see a complete list of available new and vintage Girl's Day dolls!
Height of doll (excluding headgear): 4.3 inches (11.0 centimeters)
Height of stand: 1.0 inches (2.6 centimeters)
Width of stand: 3.5 inches (9.0 centimeters)
Depth of stand: 3.1 inches (8.0 centimeters)
Weight (doll and stand combined): 2.2 ounces (63 grams)

More about Girl's Day
Sometime during the long Japanese Edo period (1600-1868) households with young girls began to set out attractive displays of dolls around the middle of February. The dolls were usually kept on display until March 3rd which eventually came to be known as 'Girls Day' or hina matsuri as it is called in Japanese. This special day is also sometimes referred to as momo no sekku which means 'Festival of the Peach' due to the fact that beautiful pink peach blossoms are often placed among the dolls on display. Girl's Day dolls are nearly always seen wearing the courtly robes of Heian period (794-1185) nobility. And the dolls are frequently arranged on platforms consisting of between 5 and 7 tiers covered with red felt. Though single-tier displays consisting of one male and one female doll are also quite common (especially in cramped modern apartments). Young Japanese girls (such as our little Emily) often enjoy spending hours assembling and arranging their dolls and accessories according to very old rules of display (Internet websites help many modern Japanese parents learn the rules). However, though the dolls may remain on display for many weeks leading up to March 3rd, tradition holds that the dolls must be put away promptly after this date in order to ensure a young girl's future happiness with a home and family of her own. A similar holiday for boys is the May 5th celebration of Boy's Day. In recent times, Boy's Day has come to be known as 'Children's Day.'

Boehner: Obama lacks 'guts' to lead
House Speaker John Boehner slammed President Barack Obama on Tuesday, saying that he doubts the nation's leader "has the guts" to make the tough calls on the country's growing deficit.
"He doesn't have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party," Boehner (R-Ohio) said at a breakfast briefing ABC News reported. "He just doesn't have the courage to lead when it comes to our long-term spending problem."

"I don't think he has the guts to do it," the GOP lawmaker added.

Boehner also warned Obama to stay out of the way on immigration reform, saying that there was a lot that could be done, and urging for Congress to come to an agreement.
"There's a bipartisan conversation going on in the Senate. There's a bipartisan conversation going in the House. Let these things work their way along. It is too early to talk about legislation going on in one house or the other," Boehner said. "The only thing I worry about on immigration is the president getting in the way."
