Fraser Valley Regional District 're-structuring' saves taxpayers $450,000
Taxpayers from Abbotsford to Boston Bar will save $450,000 this year thanks to "corporate re-structuring" at the Fraser Valley Regional District.
But some FVRD directors in the electoral areas outside municipalities fear rural residents may lose some of their democratic representation as some committees are cut to "streamline" operations.
Dennis Adamson, Yale electoral area director, said the changes were made "under the illusion that we're going to save money ... what we've done (instead) is eliminated a lot of discussion on lots of issues."
"I fear my people are not going to get represented to their full extent," he said, at last week's board meeting.
The $450,000 in savings stem, in part, from a "limited" hiring freeze that started in 2010, and which saw a number of staff positions eliminated by attrition rather than lay-offs.
But a number of committees were also cut as the FVRD "recast" its operations into two divisions, Regional and Corporate Services and Community and Regulatory Services.
The former Electoral Area Services Committee, where rural issues were discussed by all the electoral area directors before going to the full board, has been rolled into the CRSC, which will now deal with all "community" issues.
The RCSC replaces the former executive committee, and the committees for parks and the environment as well. But only three electoral area directors and six mayors will sit on the committee.
Director Wendy Bales, whose electoral area includes Lake Errock and the Hemlock Valley, said after the board meeting that rural areas have only one representative, unlike municipalities that have several directors at the FVRD board.
"I wouldn't expect that the mayors of cities of the FVRD would have the time to be informed about all the issues in my electoral area," she said, and be able to give those issues full voice on the new RCSC.
She agreed electoral area directors can speak at the RCSC - but they still won't have a vote there.
"I still plan to attend the new committee, but (I) feel that it is at more of a disadvantage to the ratepayers that I represent," she said.
Director David Lamson voted with Bales and Adamson, but he felt any issues of concern to electoral areas could still be dealt with at the CRSC, and there will be electoral area directors sitting on the new RCSC.
"I think (the re-structuring) is a good thing, and I support it," he said.
If all seven electoral area directors sat on the RCSC, they could conceivably out-vote the six mayors, who represent 95 per cent of the FVRD population.
The re-structuring also means a $523,939 increase in the total taxes collected from the seven electoral areas, rising to $4.1 million in 2011 from $3.6 million in 2010.
Chilliwack residents will see the FVRD portion of their municipal taxes drop by $363,972 (20 per cent) to $1.4 million in 2011 from $1.8 million in 2010.
The FVRD tax requisition for the "average assessed house" in Chilliwack will be $35.21 in 2011 compared to $43.99 in 2010.
Abbotsford residents will see their FVRD taxes drop by $715,736 (28 per cent) in 2011 to $1.7 million from $2.5 million in 2010. The "average assessed house" there ($347,157) will see the FVRD portion of their tax bill drop to $29.04 from $40.76 in 2010 - a 28.7 per cent reduction.
Although Abbotsford is considering pulling out of the regional government, residents there pay less than Chilliwack residents - because they don't receive the same number of services, such as regional parks.

Should an individual penalty cost the team?
ONALASKA, Wis. - The WIAA hockey playoffs begin Tuesday without one of the top teams from our area this season.
Last week, the Aquinas co-op went from celebrating its first ever share of a conference championship to learning they were disqualified from the postseason because of "The Jablonski Rule."
"You play your whole first season to play your second season, and that's the playoffs, and now we're not going to be able to participate," Avalanche Head Coach Tim Franzini said, who's in his 7th and final year with the team. "That's pretty tough."
The Avalanche were disqualified from the postseason for being called for three checking from behind penalties this season. The rule began in 1987, but this off-season. the National Federation of State High Schools clarified it.
"What took place was officials were calling it the way that it was supposed to be called," WIAA Assistant Director Tom Shafranski said.18504968
Player safety in hockey became a big topic in December 2011, when a 16-year-old from the Minneapolis area named Jack Jablonski was checked from behind and paralyzed.
"In Jack's case it's too late, but it's never too late to stop this from happening in the future," Jack's mom, Leslie, said at a press conference in January 2012.
"It resulted in more attention being put towards checking from behind and more awareness and education by everyone involved with hockey, including parents, players, coaches, officials, the need to provide a safe environment in the high school game," Shafranski said.
Checking from behind is defined as hitting from behind, into the boards. The player hit has no control of themselves once the contact occurs. The question the Avalanche raise is whether the team should be penalized for the mistake of an individual.
"You can't blame a team for one individual. Nobody's going out there trying to hit somebody from behind," Avalanche senior Ryan Weber said. "To change the outcome of somebody's season, it's tough."
"It's gotta come down to the individual. It's the individual that makes the decision to hit the player," Avalanche senior Jack Anderholm said.
"As safety is looked at, team versus individual penalty is probably going to be a significant discussion," said Shafranski.
Tuesday at 6 p.m., News 8 will further examine whether the punishment fits the crime when it comes to the "Jablonski Rule." If not the team getting disqualified from the postseason, what is an appopriate penalty?

Back in March, at the annual league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., The Sports Xchange was one of several media outlets to report on the near giddiness of NFL owners when baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers were sold for $2 billion to a group that includes NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
At the time, veteran consultant Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based SportsCorp, acknowledged that several league owners "are smiling right now."
Those smiles probably grew some on Thursday. Randy Lerner agreed to sell the Cleveland Browns to Knoxville, Tenn., businessman Jimmy Haslam III for roughly $1 billion, including an initial investment of $700 million. But the 10-figure price tag didn't quite have owners dancing in the streets. Almost, but not quite.
"When you look at the valuation of the Browns," one AFC owner said, "it's not altogether outlandish."
True enough, in the latest Forbes Magazine ranking of NFL franchises, Cleveland's worth was pegged at $977 million in a league where 15 franchises were gauged at $1 billion or better. So maybe the AFC owner is correct.
A billion bucks for the Browns might not be too far out of line.
The owner noted that the bigger test will come when some teams that were much lower rated than the Browns -- like the Buffalo Bills, when owner Ralph Wilson passes on -- are sold. The Bills, who likely will enter into an estate trusteeship upon Wilson's death, and who won't stay in the family, were value at $792 million by Forbes.
"When you see a team like that, in the $800 million range, go for a billion dollars, then that will really be something," the owner said.
The league's newest approved owner, Shahid Khan of Jacksonville, purchased the Jaguars for about $760 million, after they were valued at $725 million.
Of course, the NFL club with the highest valuation is Dallas, at $1.85 billion. The average value price in the league is $1.04 billion. So, in essence, while $1 billion is a ton of money for anything, Haslam purchased the Browns for roughly the average.

Well, Cyprus decided not to take 6% to 10% of everyone's deposits ... they just took 40% of the deposits of "the rich". That meant ... 40% of deposits over $130,000 (evidently the amount below that is "insured")
The Russians are upset, since there is a lot of Russian $ in those larger accounts.
The Russians should actually be a bit relieved, since not too many Russians are going to be risking putting their funds in Cypriot banks in the future. That would mean the money would either have to stay in Russia, or it could be a windfall for Swiss banks?
If banking is a big business in Cyprus, ya think maybe that it's not going to be very attractive to much of anyone in the future? A temporary bailout, but one that the rest of the Cypriot economy might go down the bowl as a result of it.

Before coming here, I wasn't confident about talking to people, but now I'm able to stand in front of large groups of people and give presentations.
Studying Spanish at Surrey will provide you with an advanced understanding of Spanish and the fluency to express yourself in the language. But as a Spanish Major, that's just the beginning. Combining Spanish with Creative Writing will give you the outstanding ability to analyse complex ideas, place them in their proper social and cultural context, and share your creativity with intelligent audiences all around the world.
You will, of course, gain an advanced understanding of Spanish and the fluency to express yourself in the language. But as a Spanish Major, that's just the beginning.
Modules giving you practice in modern translation and interpreting techniques (using our brand-new language teaching facilities) will help you use Spanish as the key to examining the cultures, histories and political institutions of the societies in which Spanish is spoken.
Our unique approach to your personal, professional and intellectual development means you can look forward to a Professional Training year, during which you can work and/or study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country.
This means you will graduate with an international perspective, proven reserves of independence, unbeatable knowledge of international society and the professional skills to use that understanding at an advanced level (both in Spanish and your first language).
Spanish has a fascinating history, from its origins as a dialect of Latin, through its absorption of Arabic influences under Muslim rule, its export around the world in the time of exploration and empire, and its current status as the fastestgrowing language in the United States.
Together with your fellow Spanish Majors, you will examine how Spanish can be used to open doors to a huge range of fascinating subjects. How can the topics that you are exploring in your Minor subjects also be explored through Spanish, and vice versa?
What are the key features of studying Spanish as an academic discipline? What skills are you acquiring that can be applied beyond the language lab?
With careful prompting by your tutor, your group will engage in discussion and debate to share the personal experiences and insights into Spanish study resulting from examination of each Minor subject.
Reflective essays and group presentations will give you the opportunity to crystallise your thoughts, communicate what you have learned and demonstrate your understanding of the Spanish-speaking world from a more complete perspective.
Choose Creative Writing as your Minor subject and you'll develop an understanding of the theory and practice of poetry, drama and the novel. With enhanced knowledge of the distinctive character of texts written in the principal literary genres (and other forms of writing and communication), you'll become adept at translating ideas into critical and creative texts an ability that will prove highly desirable in any career you wish to pursue.

You'll find your lectures and tutorials extremely stimulating, but a Surrey degree is so much more than just your classroom learning.
The information below details some of the extra opportunities and advantages of becoming a Surrey student. Naturally, many of these will be defined by your choice of Major (such as where you spend your Professional Training placement), but don't forget that your Minor will also add a valuable dimension to your Surrey experience.
We are keen to support you in becoming an independent language learner and confident communicator, and place great emphasis on the teaching of study skills. The teaching style is innovative and highly engaging, in both lectures and seminars.
You are taught mostly in small groups, and almost always in the target language.
Tutors encourage you to participate in discussions. Individual module tutors happily discuss academic concerns and personal tutors are always ready to advise and assist you if any issues, personal or academic, should arise.
Modules are assessed individually and credits are awarded for the successful completion of each one. Assessment takes place through a combination of examination and/or coursework, practical examinations and reports.
Our language teaching facilities include digital language labs, a multimedia lab, state-of-the-art interpreting facilities, our own virtual learning environment and an e-portfolio system that appeals to the most creative amongst you.
Between classes, you can use our Language Study Area, designed for independent language learning, in the University's purpose-built Learning Centre, which is open 24/6 and most of Sunday during semester times.
Here, you can work at your own speed and concentrate on aspects of the language that are most important to you. Practice and building confidence are crucial to successful language learning.
We have a computer network of 28 PCs offering the latest in language learning technology, including specialist software to practise subtitling and audio description, and interactive programs in 18 different languages to develop your language skills.
You can read the international press and choose from a range of books and audio materials which are graded and colour-coded for easy access to your language and level.
If you prefer film or video as a means of learning, you can access our media store of programmes and films and watch online, view live satellite TV from five countries, or choose a foreign film from our world cinema collection.
Contact hours can vary across our modules. Full details of the contact hours for each module are available from the University of Surrey's Module Catalogue. See the programme structure section for more information.
You are allocated a personal tutor to guide you through the programme and advise on your option choices and future career, helping you to get the most out of your time at Surrey.
This programme gives you the opportunity to study an additional foreign language alongside your degree programme. You can start a new language, brush up a half-forgotten one or continue a language you have learned previously.
The programme is open to all Surrey students free of charge, and students from departments across the University are brought together by their mutual interest in foreign languages and cultures.
All language modules are accredited for undergraduate students. While these credits do not count towards your degree, they are recorded on your transcript as the Global Graduate Award in Languages. You may opt for a language module in each year of your undergraduate studies.
We offer ten languages at different levels:
The teaching is communicative and student-centred. Special emphasis is placed on listening and speaking skills, and the programme materials are authentic and related to real-life contexts.
We have a team of about 30 dedicated and experienced tutors, all of whom are native speakers or of native-speaker qualification.
This programme comprises one two-hour session per week for 19 weeks over two semesters.
We give our students the opportunity to acquire international experience during their degrees by taking advantage of our exchange agreements with overseas universities or by completing a Professional Training placement abroad. In addition to the hugely enjoyable and satisfying experience, time spent abroad adds a distinctive element to your CV. To check where you can go, visit our Global Exchanges pages.
We are very proud of our track record for graduate employability. One of the main reasons for our graduate employability success is our Professional Training placement programme which is one of the largest in the World, with over 2,300 partner organisations in the UK and overseas. To find out more visit our Careers and Professional Training pages.
The Professional Training year is an integral part of our programmes.
You will spend the third year of your degree in the countries of the languages you study, working in a new exciting environment, studying at some of the most renowned continental universities, learning more about others and about yourself. You will normally spend 46 weeks on placement.
The Professional Training year can be arranged for one or two countries, depending on programme requirements and your interests.
We have an experienced placement team that will help you obtain the placements most suitable for your degree. Our placement coordinators have kept contacts with foreign companies for many years, and are establishing new ones all the time.
The choice of destinations is wide, with placement providers in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Peru. We have links with internationally renowned companies and institutions such as Eurosport and Hilton Hotels. If you opt for a study placement, you can choose from a number of universities with which we have Erasmus+ agreements. These include universities in Castellón and Madrid.
Whether you study or work in Spain, you will be eligible for an Erasmus grant.
Preparation starts in the first year, when you learn about the cultures and societies related to your chosen languages and practise CV writing and presentation techniques.
In the second year, placement preparation intensifies, with a series of workshops and seminars especially developed by the placement team, accompanied by individual meetings with the placement coordinators of your chosen languages.
In these meetings, you will identify the placements best suited to ensure your academic, professional and personal development.
In the case of work placements, your placement coordinator will help you with the application process, from CV writing and interview practice in the target language through to signing the contract.
Throughout the second year, you will attend a series of workshops focusing on specific aspects of your year abroad.
The topics covered are skills development and on-placement online support, as well as intercultural communication, business culture, financial matters and accommodation, and other relevant aspects of daily life in a foreign country covered in country-specific workshops.
You will also be invited to presentations given by final-year students returning from their placements to hear first-hand accounts and to find out more about what it is like to live in a particular country, town or city.
Once abroad, your placement co-ordinators will be available for you if you need help or advice. They will keep in regular contact with you and also visit you on your placements, up to three times during the whole year.
These visits serve to discuss your progress, to address any issues that may have arisen and to advise you on how best to prepare for your final year at university.
Upon successful completion of your Professional Training year, you will have improved your language skills and found out more about the people whose languages and cultures you study, and you will also have gained more life experience, independence and self-confidence.
This will help you to focus your studies and career planning, and you will have acquired the skills that employers value.

The University will assess your fee status. If you are unsure whether you are likely to be considered a home, EU or overseas student for fees purposes, the UKCISA website offers more information.
Programmes marked with a tick in the table above include a Professional Training placement.
A reduced fee is charged for Professional Training placements.
Fees will not have to be paid up front for those eligible students who decide to take up the Government's loan for higher education fees. The Professional Training placement is a key factor in the high employability rates achieved by students with Surrey degrees.
We're committed to making sure that we offer support for students who might need it.
A Major/Minor degree lets you build in-depth knowledge of one subject (your Major) while also studying another topic (your Minor). At Surrey, your Major/Minor degree also includes an integrative module that allows you to develop a unique understanding of how your two chosen subjects relate to each other.
The type and title of the degree conferred upon you will reflect your Major subject while acknowledging your Minor. For example, you could receive BA (Hons) English Literature with Psychology, BSc (Hons) Politics with Creative Writing, BMus (Hons) Music with Digital Media Arts, etc.
A Major/Minor degree gives you the opportunity to build a much broader base of knowledge than a traditional single-subject degree, but without sacrificing the opportunity to acquire real expertise in a particular field. You will come into contact with students, academics and ideas from two disciplines rather than one.
There are a small number of careers that require graduate membership of a chartered institute, for which an accredited single-honours degree may be necessary, or which require particular postgraduate or doctoral qualifications that may only be gained after completing an undergraduate degree in a specific, single-honours subject. However, for the overwhelming majority of career paths this is not the case and in most cases there are conversion courses or equivalency allowances should you later decide you wish to follow a career with these requirements. Please speak to a careers advisor for further clarification.
Modern employers rarely demand a specific degree relevant to their field or sector, instead preferring culturally aware people who can place their knowledge in a wider context, who have used their time as a student to develop personally and intellectually as well as academically, and who leave university with impressive professional workplace experience already under their belt.
Because of this, it is the graduates who have combined academic achievement with the development of critical skills, who have acquired the capacity for independent learning across a range of subjects and who are comfortable dealing with a wide variety of colleagues and clients who will find themselves in greater and greater demand.
As you'd expect, the majority of your degree modules, exams, coursework and assessment marks will come from your Major subject. As a guideline, we would expect you to spend around 70% of your time studying for your Major, with the remaining 30% dedicated to your Minor. However, our Major/Minor framework allows you to choose from a flexible range of optional modules, so the actual balance will depend on your own preferences and requirements.
Remember also that Surrey Major/Minor degrees include our unique integrative modules, which bring you together with your fellow students to reflect on how your Major and Minor subjects complement each other.
Experienced staff in our International Student Office are available to help from the moment you consider studying at the University. We offer professional advice on immigration, visa issues, entry qualifications, pre-departure information, employment regulations and international student welfare.

good feature fish for my community tank??
I have a 100L tropical community tank that I have not stocked at all yet as I am still in the middle of a fishless cycle. I want to put a school of 8-10 neon tetra in there, 6-8 corys on the bottom, a few endler's livebearers and maybe about 10 red cherry shrimp. But it seems like something is missing. I feel like a good feature fish is needed, however I am a bit limited with my tank size and other inhabitants...
Can anyone please recommend a good feature fish for me?? I am open to some changes to the tankmates if I need to
thanks! :)
ps. this is my tank:
I am going to be putting sand in for the corys to rummage as well as another cave; and java moss for the shrimp in the next few days

+1 to that, I have a similar sized tank with tetras and rosy barbs. My feature is my Opaline Gourami, very peaceful, never had an incident, and very beautiful! He's not almost 4-5 inches, tip to tail, and really sets the aquarium off. (very hardy too)
Good luck!
If you are going with neons then I would not recommend a 4-5 inch gourami.
Have a look at bolivian rams, appistogramas, kribensis. They are all dwarf species of cichlid and will happily live alone.
pH is important with some of these species though so i would ask what is your pH sitting at?
Also feel free to up that neon school to at least 20 to get the best out of the shy little guys.My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
Swordtails get really quite big, not sure about those. I think a single dwarf cichlid might work.
Be aware that if you're adding another cave you'll be using up a lot more floorspace/footprint in that tank. It's already quite crowded so might be a bit tight for 8 cories. Perhaps consider pygmy cories, or some of the smaller varieties like pandas."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ 350 Litre Tank Journal ~ ~ 30 Litre Tank Journal ~
I wouldn't go with Pearl Gourami, too big for that tank. And I wouldn't recommend a dwarf cichlid when there are already going to be cories in there -- that's not a lot of footprint for those bottom-dwellers.
What about --
- 15 Neon Tetras
- 6 Panda Cories (as these are the smallest without getting into pygmies, which are expensive and hide alot IME)
- 1 Dwarf Gourami OR Golden Honey Gourami (make nice "feature fish" but won't frighten the neons and won't take up too much space)
+1 to Amelia. I would suggest a dwarf or honey gourami, as well. It's funny... once you've had a decent sized tank and placed some fish in there, you begin to see for yourself, what size a tank is really adequate for these species.
There are some catfish that would do better with dwarf cichlids. They're extremely territorial though, and they'll be even more so in that tank. I have two Raphael Cats with two GBRs and while the GBRs stare and threaten, the Raphs ignore and pummel through their defensive line to get to their pellets. ;PAdventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
I have tried Neons and Swordtails a few times... the Neons are always tightly balled at the bottom of the tank. I have since learned that means they are unhappy.
Once you decide you want the Neons, you really lock yourself down on other choices. If you are going to have any fish larger than 1.5", your Neon school has to be big... at least 15 to 20 individuals. The larger, the better. And that eats up a lot of fish real estate.
Add the Neons first, once the tank is cycled. Let them get at home... then you can bring in the larger fish like a dwarf G in a month or so.
Looking at your picture, I just don't see corys. They prefer sand, and you already have the shrimp listed.
A neon school, shrimp, and a dwarf G is pretty close to your stocking limit... 100L is about 29gallons, right?Looks about 40 Gallon Tank
Betta, Buenos Aires Tetra, Neon Tetra, Harlequin Rasbora, and Otocinclus
Wisteria, Amazon Sword, Java Fern, and my unstoppable Trumpet Snail Army
Looks about 75 Gallon Tank
Wet and Empty; thinking Scalare, Corydoras, Otocinclus
I disagree -- I kept a "Neon Tank" with around 30 neons and during that time I kept a betta, a dwarf gourami, honey gourami, adult swordtails among other fish at different stages during that tanks evolution. The Neons were always happy and spread out all over the tank. I think my success lay in the fact that I had such a large school -- if they are kept in a large enough school that they feel secure you should have no problem mixing them with larger feature fish IME.
Here's a crappy cellphone picture from when I had STs in it. I did eventually have to move the swordtails out because they outgrew the tank and that was when a Dwarf Gourami took their place. The other inhabitants of the tank were 8 Kuhli Loaches and 1 GBA.
The only fish I tried which I wouldn't recommend was a betta. He was perfectly docile to the neons but they nipped his tail.

I was at home, waking up very early due to jet lag but excited to see some pics or footage from the PGP... I read it on Twitter and couldn't believe it. All I said, was "no... no... no..." before i got confirmation and started to cry...

We've both loved Whitney since Jesus was a boy. I didn't want to break down in front of my friend. So I went to the bathroom to pull myself together. We spent the rest of the night playing her music.
Cyndi is a photographer so she put together an impromptu photo shoot to cheer me up. It's something we used to do all the time—just to play and be silly. It didn't work this time. Needless to day. A day I will never forget. A day I knew would come but alas came far too soon.

Later that day, I was at a wedding. One of my friends sent me a text message that read: WHITNEY!!!!! I thought he was texting me that because she was on the red carpet. Shortly after that, another friend sent me another text that said WHITNEY IS ______. I started shaking. Then the phone starting . I knew it was true.

I had spent the whole day at a cheerleading competition for my goddaughter, and also having a very wonderful texting convo with my BFF. After it was over, we (me, my mom, my two sisters, an aunt, a cousin, my goddaughter, and her friend) went to try out a new restaurant nearby called Jason's Deli.
Halfway through my turkey & ham club sandwich, my cousin gasps and reads aloud: "Whitney Houston dead at 48!!!" It was on a text she got from USA Today. I guess they send breaking news alert text messages. Anyway I didn't believe it, claiming "This has happened before." 2 or 3 min later, my BFF texts to say the same thing. A minute or so after that, I simultaneously got about 7 texts from 7 different people, asking me if I'd heard, or if I'm OK, etc. It froze my phone.
Then, I began shaking.....
It was hard trying to hold it together, considering I was out in public. Somehow I did, hoping it was yet another hoax, but still shaking. I just knew I had to get up from the table and get home.
Sure wish it had been a hoax. Part of me still wishes it was...

Scroll down to Spy Report: The Definitive DVD Collection.
All I have to say is, a holographic picture of Qui-Gon added to Old Ben's house? I don't know about that.......
Scroll down to Spy Report: The Definitive DVD Collection.
All I have to say is, a holographic picture of Qui-Gon added to Old Ben's house? I don't know about that.......
The only things I would do are:
"Fix" Jabba in ANH- he looks so bad there... they did a much better job with him in TPM.
Also (per the link) add a couple scenes of Emperor Palpatine in ANH and ESB... not just a passing reference. Also replace the Emperor hologram in ESB with Ian since he played Sidious/Palpatine in the rest of the saga.
Oh, right... bring back Anchorhead.

Did you read what was on the link? Someone claims they are going to add the Emperor to ANH as well as Bail Organa and all sorts of other stuff.
yes I did... I said, "(per the link)" when speaking of adding the Emperor.
Oh, duh, I didn't see that part. Sometimes I read too fast for my own good.
Just sounds like wishful thinking from someone with an overactive imagination to me.
But if they get Ian to redo the ESB Emperor scene I'll be happy....
Is there anything wrong with leaving a classic film alone? I hope this is either mistaken, or it will supplement a more traditional DVD release of the films. If it's like The Godfather set from a couple of years ago (a re-worked, cohesive narrative made by merging and rearranging scenes from the films), it would be a nice piece to have. If it's the only way to get the series, it is a dark day for us all.
And even if they do this as a supplement, I sincerely hope that the part about the Emperor and Bail in E4 is mistaken. For one thing, it undermines how Vader was previously portrayed as being subordinate to Tarkin. For another, it makes Tarkin less of a baddie if he's following orders to blow up Alderaan.
And if the bit about the Coruscant scene in E5 is right, I want to see John Malkovich portraying Xizor! Yeah, he's among my least faves, but still, it'd be cool.
That's my jacket!
Me no likey.
I hope whoever posted that TF.N "news" is a dirty, dirty liar.
Like Emp. Jargo said, it's probaby just wishful thinking on the part of some fan. If it does turn out to be true, then I hope they use the advances they made with Ep1-3 to blend the changes in better than the SE's
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard

In the week ending January 29, the MSCI Asia ex-Japan Index pulled back from last week's 11.6 times 12-month forward earnings to 11.3 times, data provided by Nomura Securities show.
Contrary to intuition, Hong Kong bore the brunt of the sell-off, whereas its ASEAN neighbors – Indonesia and the Philippines – were less affected. Hong Kong shed 0.7 multiple points to 14.1 times forward earnings, the lowest level since last July. This in part is because of Hong Kong's proximity to China. MSCI China now trades at 8.4 times forward earnings, or 30.4% (1.3 standard deviation) below the long-term average, making it the cheapest country in the region (followed by Korea's 8.6 times).
India was the second most sold-off market in the region, shedding 0.5 multiple points to 14 times, ending at its long-term average.
By comparison, sell-off was less evident in Indonesia and the Philippines. MSCI Indonesia shed 0.2 multiple points to trade at 13.2 times, or 25% premium to its long-term average. MSCI Philippines lost 0.3 multiple points to trade at 17.4 times, or a 20.7% premium to its long-term mean.
During this period, the iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (EWH) lost 6.4%, the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) slumped 6.2%, the iShares MSCI Philippines ETF (EPHE) retreated 3.6%, the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) lost 5.9%, and the iShares MSCI India Index Fund (INDA) tanked 6.9%.

Looking around, I also see evidence of Bluestreak, Hoist, Brawl, Dead End, and some fellow named Powerdive. Is Powerdive new, or what? He looks cool enough I might get him; I had to get the realistically-styled Lugnut because he was just way too cool. (Of course, he was at Ross and cost a lot less, too.)
It's not that I dislike Laserbeak; he's just not Laserbeak to me.
Tycho, Springer transforms into a helicopter (he's not a Triple Changer this time around). Poking around the interwebs, it looks like he's based on a movie-continuity figure named Tomahawk (from the Hunt for the Decepticons sub-line), with a new head, different rotor transformation (Springer can use the rotor as a sword, same as the original, but it looks like Tomahawk keeps it attached to his back), and maybe a few other tweaks. I don't have him in-hand yet, but the photos online look sweet.
(And the TRU exclusives so far seem to be cheaper than the equivalent non-exclusive figures. Deluxes are $14.99, whereas even Target and Walmart are charging $16 for them. Not to mention, being older molds, they're slightly larger.)

Young Cancer Spouses
Young and cancer are two words we don't often piece together, unless
we're watching fundraisers for hospitals for children with cancer.
Yet, there are more and more people becoming afflicted with various
types of cancer who are recently married, or have started the road
to raising a family.
For the younger spouses who are just getting into what it's like to
be married, work, deal with health insurance, diagnosis is just as
shocking and devastating as it would be for anyone. But how
can you navigate a healthcare system that has changed so much since
your parents' and grandparents' time? You may have selected a
lower cost plan with higher deductibles in favor of helping pay your
mortgage. Some of the daring young forego insurance, equating
youth with permanent health. Insurance is only one of the
tools needed when seeking treatment that one hopes will lead to
recovery and cure.
To help the spouse who will help their partner through this time,
Matt Herynk, Phd developed a website, www.youngcancerspouses.org.
For Matt, whose wife recently passed away from cancer in October
2007, he experienced the lack of resources for people in his age
Focused on keeping the caregiver both knowledgeable and supported,
the website contains information on a variety of topics. One
of the important areas is showing the caregiver how to care for
How it Began
The original project was a Yahoo.com Group, founded by Karen
Schlowsky-Fischer. Her husband Mark was diagnosed with an
aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma in November 2003. They had
been married less than four years, and he was only 28 years old.
During this time in their lives as a young married couple, the focus
should have been careers, stock options, and family planning.
Instead, their mutual focus became keeping Mark alive, and
eventually well. Karen worked to care for him, and learned the
value of caring for herself as caregiver. Without her
strength, Mark's ability to move forward would be changed.
Even when his treatment regimen stopped working after two months,
their mutual resolve in caring for themselves as a unit allowed them
to try other therapies.

Lately, I've been seeing a whole lot of saffron in sweet recipes--a trend that's difficult to be mad AT, and all too easy to be mad ABOUT.
Tokyo Terrace gives me an entirely new reason to be excited for the most wonderful time of the year.
First it was the Pop-Tart, but what's the latest in trendspotting? Strawberry Shortcake.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
The Nasdaq Composite Index is up 14.96 at 4,110.48, after last week's abbreviated session, joining a rising Dow and a rising S&P.
With Apple (AAPL) reporting fiscal Q2 results this Wednesday, after the closing bell, previews of the report are on the rise.
Mizuho Securities USA's Abhey Lamba, reiterating a Buy rating, and a $575 price target, writes that Apple will likely miss Q2 expectations, reporting $42 billion to $43 billion in sales, and $9.75 to $10 per share, versus consensus of $43.7 billion and $10.19, writing that "We expect iPhone shipments of ~35mm, below consensus of about 37mm, while iPads are likely to be inline."
Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley today reiterates a Buy rating on Apple shares, and a $600 price target, writing that demand for larger screens is sapping iPhone sales before Apple comes out with a larger model: "Based on our April surveys, we believe iPhone sales have slowed following the launch of the Galaxy S5 combined with global consumers delaying iPhone purchases until a new larger screen iPhone launches later this year. "
Walkley sees a bounce back in iPhone sales with a larger model, but he still cut his fiscal 2014 unit sales estimate to 156 million iPhone units from 163 million previously.
UBS's Steve Milunovich reiterates a Buy rating, and a $625 price target, writing that "We expect March results a bit ahead of consensus but a mediocre June guide given apparent lack of momentum at China Mobile and in the iPad category. New products should drive the story later this year and into next, including the iPhone 6 and potential new categories that are not in our estimates."
The Financial Times's Tim Bradshaw writes that the company "will offer investors tens of billions of dollars in new share buybacks this week," and that disclosure of sales through China Mobile (CHL) will also be a focus.
Apple stock is up $3.71, or 0.7%, at $528.76.
Reporting today after the bell, meantime, is Netflix (NFLX), with analysts modeling $1.27 billion and 81 cents per share in net income.
Cantor Fitzerald's Youssef Squali this morning reiterates a Hold rating on the shares, and a $405 price target, writing that he expects ""Netflix to report one of its strongest quarters ever today after the close, with domestic streaming net adds of 2.3M and international net adds of 1.6M (Cantor ests.)" and $1.28 billion in revenue and 85 cents in net profit.
Netflix shares are down $2.74, or 0.8%, at $343.
Regarding expected reports from Facebook (FB) on Wednesday night, and Pandora (P) on Thursday night, MKM Partners's Rob Sanderson today writes that this is the week to buy Internet names: "We think this week will set the tone for the Internet space and likely for growth stocks in general."
"Very strong results from Alibaba last week did lift YHOO shares, though the stock has given back a quarter of its gain from after-market highs. GOOG was a touch light, but did not drag down the group. We think these are signs of a sentiment bottom, assuming there are no high-profile misses ahead."
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are up 83 cents, or 3.5%, a5 $24.74, after Drexel Hamilton's Richard Whittington this morning reiterated a Buy rating and hiked his price target from $30 to $50, writing that with slow capacity build-outs and healthy demand "this summer is looking a replay of last summer's firm pricing." Whittington raised his EPS estimates for this year, next year and 2016.
Danny Kuo of DigitTimes today offers a brief item on Microsoft (MSFT), stating that the company is having a number of "internal conflicts," such as its Surface tablets competing with Microsoft's own tablet computer partners, and the move to Windows 8.1 frustrating traditional users of mouse and keyboard on the desktop. The article notes that Microsoft last month said it would begin to offer its operating systems free to manufactures of some smaller tablets and other mobile devices.
Microsoft shares today are up 8 cents at $40.09.

Ok my bad... Best tweaks of the week** very minor mistake.... And by the way the people who chose those tweaks were staff.... Gosh people who act like children these days....
We always seem to get caught up with semantics and sometimes miss the process. It is known that ANY technology goes through the process of establishing an infrastructure followed by refining and testing features and functions. The 4S is the first device providing us with Siri. It's well worth it for some, not so for others. Like ANY technology does. No surprise here.
There's a difference though...
The iPhone 5 will be revamped completely(that's the hope)
The 4s was just an upgrade of the latest model. Plus why spend your money on something that you know the next thing is going to be better.
Granted the iPhone 47 is going to be better but that's a long ways away. Look forward to a release this year,
iPhone 47= years
iPhone 5= sometime this year.

In my opinion Death Note is a great anime. With its intriguing story and characters, it kept me reeled in and on the edge of my seat for... most of the anime.
Story The story of Death Note is nothing I have ever come across before -17 year old Light Yagami, an intelligent teenager, finds a mysterious notebook within his school - whoevers name is written in the notebook, will die.
The first arc of the story was great - Light's analysations of situations and putting his plans into action were great to watch. The development of his character and his fighting with L was fun to watch... See full review

The mainstream is passionately in love with the president.
The mainstream is passionately in love with the president.
I would say the media definitely favors Obama for sure. At the same time Romney's gaffes are so bad even Biden is telling him to STFU.
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies".
People repeat this "mainstream media love liberals/the President" line but where's the evidence? The biggest -- by far -- cable news newtork (Fox) is conservative. Of the top five newspapers in the country, two are "conservative" (New York Post and Wall Street Journal) and one is neutral (USA Today)*. Conservatives dominate talk radio. The two biggest news aggregator sites out there (Drudge and RealClearPolitics) both lean conservative, especially Drudge.
Liberals have their bastions (news magazines in particular) but this whole narrative has gotten completely out of control. It's repeated as dogma without a thought given to whether it's true.
Like anything else, news is a consumer driven industry. That's why Fox's success as a partisan outfit led MSNBC to adopt a stance as an opposite number. CNN has tried to stay neutral, with the result being their irrelevance. It's all driven by what people want. Businessmen trend conservative... hence the Wall Street Journal's conservative slant. News magazine readership trends college educated (meaning liberal), therefore most of the news magazines have a liberal slant. Conservatives listen to talk radio. Liberals podcast. It's neither complicated nor a conspiracy. It's just a handy talking point when a factual rebuttal to a conservative talking point is offered. Liberals have been slow to realize the effectiveness of this attack (since the media doesn't fight back), but Fox has now been widely discredited.
For the "mainstream media" to trend liberal would mean that liberals pay attention to the mainstream media more than others do. Is that something we all believe? I don't.
*Though as a side note, I don't grant that newspapers have a slant. People carelessly confuse editorial pages with the rest of the paper.

0-16 you change the coach.
Simple enough.
I am tired of excuses and hearing how unions and poor people are going to make my life better.
Romney at least has experience In creating profitable successful corporations.
We need jobs and economic growth period.
Obama has failed period. Next man in period.
Blaiming Bush 4 years later does not cut it in my book.
Grow up the govt is not gonna make you rich.
Picking and choosing who gets the next hand out sucks if your not in the union.
Just my opinions and if you do not agree then you must be stealing my taxes with handouts so screw you.
Exactly let's not spend all of our efforts strictly on unions and poor people. What has this president done to create jobs other than waste tax payer money on failed playoffs to his cronies? Example Solyndra and all the other failed subsidized alternative energy companies. Shell companies to extort our tax payer money out the back door in political donations. Money does not just get handed over for nothing. Money always lands where it does for a reason.
How does four years of failure at creating jobs equate to another four year term? We need to get people back to work or we will never be able o get out of this recession. Sorry but this president does not have any clue on real job creation. Face it he never created one before so how would he know now. Romney created a real profit making company and created jobs. Obviously you have no job creating experience either or you would understand what Romney's company was created to do. Thes companies were financially stressed and going out of business because of poor management and exorbitant union wages. He fixed and so they could compete and survive in the market place. He created way more jobs than he eliminated. Look it up.
Obama wants to spread the wealth that he had no involvement with creating. He wants the government to control our destiny. Healthcare s just he beginning. Anyone comfortable with government determining what you get for healthcare is a fool. DMV and Post Office is what you can expect for results for your healthcare too. Oh yeah and it will be all union employees for the govt healthcare as well. Maybe cutting services in healthcare will be there solution like they are doing in the Postal Service because there costs are to high. Absolute lose lose situation.
Again unions for government employees? Really why are government employees in need of unions? The government should be the safest employer you can work for as an employee. Politicians from the Democrats with unions are ripping off the american tax payers with their I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine. Our taxes are being ripped off. Pensions and salaries that are exorbitant are driving our debt even higher. There is so much waste in government it is ridiculous. Maybe Romney the distressed fixer can help clean this up? I know Obama isn't goin to since he has wasted 6 trillion in only 4 years won't.
I get sick of hearing the liberals whine about conservatives who actually get the work done in this country. If the govt wasn't a monopoly it would fail fiscally hence why they are always whining about more taxes. How about all these clowns in govt actually pay their taxes. Timmy (the tax cheat Gietner), Charley (head of the.IRS over site committee) Rangel. We would all be put in jail and they id not even lose their jobs.

It really must make you crazy to see the polls and read the projections and know Obama is going to win. I'm fortunate in that I grew up in a Republican family so I don't reflexively demonize the other side but your post reads like you've never had a substantive discussion about politics with a liberal you respect. As in ever. The fact that this country is about to fairly well resoundingly reelect the president must utterly baffle you.

Here's an interesting article.
It changed—an important point in the Dukakis-Bush election, when the press literally was trying to get Dukakis elected by ignoring what was happening in Massachusetts, with a candidate who was running on the platform of "He will do for America what he did for Massachusetts"—while they were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Pat Caddell a self proclaimed liberal even acknowledges the exact turning point in which the media started to cover up for Democrats and the overall media became partisan. Don't believe me. Check out some of these vids. See if you don't agree. It's fairly evident the impact media has had on average voters concerning what they do and don't know.
I wonder where these potential voters get these ideas? Here's another example.
It's pretty obvious where the misinformation is coming from and which way it leans.
If Obama gets re-elected it will only be because a large part of our populous is not thinking critically, and is too easily influenced by a media that is more concerned with infotainment and protecting their progressive interests than reporting the facts. Unfortunately such an outcome wouldn't baffle me so much as be majorly disappointing.
A better analogy would be that the Democrats are represented by the Seahawks with an arguably inferior quarterback with Wilson (substituting for Obama), and the Packers have a superior quarterback in Rodgers (representing Romney). The two struggle to come out on top, but unfortunately the replacement refs (representing the media) heavily influence the outcome. You know the rest. I can only hope that this time everyone is able to make the right call.

About four applications for investments in drug firms have been pending for discussion in the FIPB
New Delhi: Concerned over spate of acquisitions of domestic pharma firms by multinationals, India's Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) will soon send a comprehensive proposal to the PMO (Prime Minster's Office) for review of the current policy for FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in existing drug companies, Indian media reports said.
According to the sources, before sending the proposal to PMO, Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma will meet both Health and Pharmaceutical minister to discuss the matter.
The DIPP has raised concerns over large number of acquisitions of domestic firms by foreign multi-nationals. It has asked the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) not to take decision on any related proposal. "The DIPP will soon send a comprehensive proposal to the PMO. On an average, about 25 percent of the FIPB agenda is related with pharma sector. Pharma related proposals are regular feature in the FIPB meetings," sources said. They said continuing acquisitions of Indian pharma firms by foreign companies would pose serious problems in availability of life saving drugs to consumers in near future.
Recently, Shantha Biotechnics, pioneers in the Hepatitis-B vaccine, was acquired by French pharma company Sanofi-aventis. Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) has suggested that the foreign firms acquiring domestic companies should be asked to invest in the manufacturing facilities. Although, a committee has put some conventionalities for acquisition of Indian companies, sources said, "those are fairly lenient".
About four applications for investments in drug firms have been pending for discussion in the FIPB. The proposals included two related to US-based Mylan Laboratories; Japan- based Terumo, and another of Medreich, a domestic firm.

Tweet I've been given a break from this project I'm working on, so I wanted to use it to catch up with this section, which this time spans two months, lucky you!
For reasons I'm not aware of and can't be arsed with finding out, at some point in history someone decided that one day in August was going to be "IPA Day". I like drinking a good IPA as much as the next beer geek and I don't need any special date for that, but if this "holiday" motivates authors like Martyn Cornell to publish some good stuff on the topic, then I'm all for it. And a pretty good post it is, one that tries for the upteenth time tries to kill some of the myths of this style's history.
A few days later, and related to it, another great beer historian, Ron Pattison, speaks about the style, but from another perspective, bringing to the table what he calls "IPA inflation", or how some of those "this or that IPA" that seem to be such a hit among brewers are actually other styles. Where I disagree with Ron is in the closing statement, that IPA is going to eventually fade away just like Mild once did. It's true that the style is hugely popular among "craft beer" drinkers, but those people are only a niche market, a nice that is growing, so there are still a lot of people who still haven't drunk their first IPA.
From Colombia, Manza shares his remarkable experience with a can of Carslberg Special Brew that had been aged for 13 years!. I won't add anything else, go and Google translate it.
Tandleman, on the other hand, tells us that there's nothing wrong with drinking alone, something that, I believe, most of us agree with, but it never hurts to explain it once more to all those people who don't seem to get it. And yes, sitting at a hospoda early in the afternoon, when there is just a few people, with a good beer and a good read as sole company is one of those life's great little pleasures.
I don't know about you, but what I usually prefer to drink at a hosopoda, be it alone or with friends is what some EBU-ABV craftophiles might call "boring beer", but that could actually better be described the way Boak & Bailey brilliantly do it.
I have harshly, and deservedly, critisised the way the Spanish speaking press deals with the topic of "beer". Sometimes, it is really irritating, not so much for the disrespect they show to our favourite beverage, but for the complete lack of professionalism of the people who publish that crap. But I like being fair and the Spanish daily El País published one of the best articles I've read about beer in Spanish. It resists the temptation of plugs, it doesn't get trapped into technicalities, it "just" speaks about a new phenomenon in the market avoiding demagoguery and chauvinism. On the other hand, I still believe that "revolution" is too big a word for craft beer.
Now in September. Not much to speak of here, really, but I didn't have enough time to pay too much attention.
Once again, Martyn Cornell, posts a very well researched post about Ales that used to be brewed with the purpose of being barrel aged for decades, a tradition that has been lost and, unfortunately, doesn't seem anyone is going to revive anytime soon.
Back the the Spanish "Craft Beer" phenomenon. The folks at Lúpulo a Mansalva offer a slightly different view of it. It's interesting sometimes to see things from the other side of the counter, and LaM is an on-line beer retailer that wants to give priority to local products, which, according to what they tell us in their blog, isn't always that easy, not so much because of quality issues, but because of some not very sensible policies of some brewers.
The prize for the bollocks of these two months goes to Expats.cz, or actually, to some Suchi Rudra, who was allowed to publish an article that could have hardly been any sillier, lazier, more chauvinist and populist and less well researched. I have read better stuff in traveler's blogs. As a lover of Czech beer, I was quite ashamed and fortunately, my mate Velký Al spared me the bother of writing a response to it.
Na Zdraví!

Binghamton University Professor honored with 'distinguished' rank
Mark Lezenweger, professor of psychology at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has been promoted to distinguished professorship, a tenured University ranking that is conferred for consistently extraordinary accomplishment.
The State University of New York Board of Trustees announced 11 such appointments last week. Recipients are nominated for this honor by their campus presidents for having achieved national or international prominence and an established reputation in their field of expertise.
Lenzenweger, who joined Binghamton's faculty in 2001, is a renowned researcher in the areas of schizophrenia as well as personality disorder.
He established that schizophrenia can manifest itself in a dilute form, known as schizotypic psychopathology, through an extensive series of experimental laboratory studies. This work on schizotypic psychopathology in combination with innovative statistical approaches is charting new directions in the genomic study of schizophrenia.
He concurrently has directed a landmark longitudinal study of personality disorder, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, that continues to push the frontiers of knowledge in this area. His finding that personality disorder features show substantial variability over time strikes at the heart of assumptions that dominated the area for 100 years.
Lenzenweger, a prolific writer, has been the recipient or co-recipient of more than $15 million in grant funding for his research. He is also an adjunct professor of psychology in psychiatry at the Weill College of Medicine at Cornell University in New York City.
Lenzenweger began his academic career at Cornell, where he was a member of the tenured faculty, and he moved on to a professorial post at Harvard. He holds doctoral and master's degrees in clinical psychology (experimental psychopathology) from Yeshiva University as well as a bachelor's degree in psychology from Cornell University.
Last year, Lenzenweger received the State University of New York Award for Research and Scholarship as well as the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities.
He lives in Ithaca with his wife and three children.
