Matson rebrands logistics units as "Matson Logistics"
July 22, 2011
News that Matson is rebranding its three logistics units under the new name, Matson Logistics – is consistent with recent industry trends.
As reported in Logistics Management—SCMR's sister publication—several other "pure-play" ocean carriers set a precedent for this.
Regarding Matson and its suite of services offered by the three entities – Matson Integrated Logistics, Matson Global and Matson America – the single brand will differentiate its full range of services.
According to spokesmen, the Matson name represents ocean transportation, domestic and international rail intermodal service, long haul and regional highway brokerage, supply chain services, LTL transportation, specialized hauling, and company-operated warehousing and distribution.
All of the services offered will be marketed using a newly created Matson Logistics logo, spokesmen noted.
"As a company with over a century of service in the Pacific, the Matson brand is well established in the maritime industry and strongly associated with experience, commitment, innovation, efficiency and superior service," said Matt Cox, president.
Local economists noted that the West Coast carrier is positioned to take advantage of the growing export trade.
"Owing to its reliance on the Port of Oakland and other Pacific Rim ocean cargo gateways, Matson is making a wise move," said Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' International Trade Adviser. "Adjusting for inflation, California's export trade is as robust as it was prior to the recession,"
Matt Cox agreed:
"In the past decade, Matson's logistics services have become increasingly diversified, encompassing warehousing and distribution and moving beyond North American markets to include China. To clarify and strengthen our position in the logistics industry, we will now promote our services using one brand name, Matson Logistics."
As part of this initiative, the three entities have changed their legal names to better reflect the more unified approach to providing logistics services. Matson Integrated Logistics, Inc. is now "Matson Logistics, Inc."; Matson America Transportation Services, LLC is now "Matson Logistics Services, LLC"; and Matson Global Distribution Services, Inc. is now "Matson Logistics Warehousing, Inc." The new names are only legal name changes and do not require any updates or revisions to licenses, codes, customer contracts, insurance coverage, legal rights and obligations, or other documentation.
"Matson is one of the strongest and most widely recognized names in transportation and logistics," added Cox. "We believe the rebranding of our logistics services will help further define Matson as a unique and multi-faceted provider in today's growing supply chain services

Yuki vs Lee 2, Morii vs Pornsaneh Headline RISE/M-1 ~Infinity.II~
- Written by Dave Walsh
After a successful first event, RISE and M-1 Muay Thai Challenge announced that they would be repeating their efforts from earlier this month and bringing us RISE/M-1MC ~Infinity.II~ on January 6th. The event already has some great fights announced and is sure to start the year off with a bang.
In a bout that will likely headline the event, RISE 63kg champion Yuki puts his title on the line in a rematch against South Korean standout Sun Hyun Lee. The two first fought at RISE 88 with Lee taking a majority decision, though the fight could have easily been scored more one-sidedly in favor of Lee. Since, Yuki has fought just once, but scored the biggest win of his career in doing so, stopping former It's Showtime champion Javier Hernandez via low kicks. Lee is 3-0 with wins over top RISE contenders Yuto Watanabe and Shohei Asahara and most recently obliterating Buakaw WSR at the first Infinity event. The two bring similar strengths, as both excel with low kicks and have pretty good boxing, but the biggest difference between the two is speed and power. Lee brings a speedy, high volume attack while Yuki is known for his power, both in his hands and his signature low kicks. Lee will likely have the edge in conditioning, favoring him in this 5 round fight, but Yuki has the power to slow him down and even end the fight at any time. That said, I favor Lee by a wide margin here and see him taking a decision and the RISE title.
In the second biggest announcement, former Lumpinee Stadium champion Pornsaneh Sitmonchai takes on top ranked Featherweight Yosuke Morii at 59kg. Pornsaneh was originally slated for the first Infinity event, but was unable to compete due to the Lumpinee birthday show, but there's no reason for him not to compete here other than injury. Morii has been at the top of the Japanese Featherweight division for the past 2 years, losing only to Genji Umeno and Hiroki Akimoto in that time. Morii did take a fight in Thailand earlier this year with unfavorable results, but a win over Pornsaneh would be huge for him and could even spark a run at a Stadium title.
Speaking of Genji Umeno, he will also fight at this event against another Korean, Seung Ryul Kim, at 60kg. After dominating the Japanese scene, Umeno looked poised to possibly become the first Japanese champion of Lumpinee Stadium, but an offer to fight in K-1 put that quest on the backburner. Umeno faced Chang Hyun Lee, a fighter who fans knew little about other than that he was a teammate of Sun Hyun Lee. That changed after the two put on one of the best fights of 2012, a 3 round battle that saw Chang Hyun come out on top. Umeno seeks revenge against a Korean opponent and a win here could set up an anticipated rematch between Umeno and Lee. Standing in his way is Kim who, like Lee, there is little information about other than that he fights out of Team Bin, the home of K-1 veteran Chi Bin Lim. A win here gives Kim a name and gives us another Korean fighter to look out for.
The card also boasts three more Japan vs Thailand matchups with Arashi Fujiwara vs Pepunoy Parisha at 53kg, Sota Ichinohe vs Lucktawarun Esugym at 57.5kg and Chemical Shunta vs Kongnapa WSR at 59.5kg. I believe Kongnapa WSR is Kongnapa Sirimongkol who fought Genji Umeno twice, going 1-1.
Still slated to compete at the event but without opponents are Yuto Watanabe, Seiya Rokukawa and Hiroki Maeda, among others.

Seniors struggle with Social Security adjustmentsJanuary 25, 2014 8:18 PM
Not long after Mary Callahan's 1.5 percent Social Security cost-of-living adjustment went into effect Jan. 1 -- netting her $20 more a month -- a community newsletter arrived in the mail at her modest Neville Island home.
Beginning this year, it said, her sewage rates would go up 17 percent, with 11 percent additional increases each of the following three years.
This bit of news followed the four months that Ms. Callahan had spent digging out of the Medicare Part D "doughnut hole" -- the no-man's land in which beneficiaries pay the full cost for prescriptions after they have used up their basic benefit and before they reach an upper "catastrophic" mark when coverage resumes.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, the doughnut hole is slowly shrinking until it is scheduled to disappear completely in 2020. At age 86, Ms. Callahan doesn't know if she'll be able to take advantage of that, although she says, "I'm expecting to be around for a while."
She does know that once she hit the doughnut hole last August, the cost of inhalers she needs every month went from $40 apiece to $380. "After that, I become a beggar. I go to my doctor, my cardiologist, my pulmonologist and I ask for samples. But I never get all the way there."
For the year, her out-of-pocket expense for medications amounted to $1,234.69.
The tragedy is not that Ms. Callahan's struggle to meet daily expenses with minimal annual raises from Social Security is so unusual.
It's that it may be so common.
The 1.5 percent Social Security increase this year followed raises of 1.7 percent in 2013 and 3.6 percent in 2012.
There was no increase at all in either 2011 or 2010.
"We are hearing from members that they are struggling," said Ray Landis, advocacy manager for Pennsylvania AARP.
Part of the problem, he said, is that the cost-of-living adjustment, known as the COLA, is based on a market basket of goods that does not always reflect what seniors spend their money on.
"They spend on health care costs more than anything," he said. "You tack on utility cost increases and just the everyday cost of food, and seniors are falling behind."
He added: "There's such a debate about the future of Social Security that we believe the inadequacy of the COLA sort of gets lost."
Social Security Administration spokeswoman Kia Anderson said the COLA is based on changes in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics at the Department of Labor.
"By law, Social Security must use this official measure to calculate COLAs," she said. "The Social Security Administration is an independent agency that administers the law. It is up to Congress to make changes in the law."
The nonprofit National Council on Aging estimates more than 23 million seniors 60 and older live on less than $29,000 a year, which is about 250 percent of the federal poverty level for a single person.
And the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University reported that 37 percent of senior households have no money left at the end of the month after essential expenses are met. The institute also found that almost all single women over 65 "face the real crisis of outliving their financial resources."
Closer to home, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in 2013 saw an 8 percent increase in seniors using its pantries and food banks in Allegheny, Butler, Somerset and Lawrence counties, which is 2 percent more than the increased traffic overall.
Spokesman Ron Cichowicz cautioned that the increase among the elderly could be caused by seniors telling other seniors about the service, or it may reflect a growing number of seniors in the area.
But Ms. Callahan does not need statistics or reports to convince her of what her eyes can plainly see.
"You go into the grocery store and you see seniors filling the produce shelves, or greeting people at the door. It's terrible." They're too proud to ask for help, she said, but she knows many who work to cover medical costs for a spouse or to squirrel away money in case of an unexpected emergency.
She knows the mind-set: Ms. Callahan was born during the Great Depression and raised five children on her own. Her philosophy is simple: "If I don't have enough money, I do without until I have enough."
Ms. Callahan has had her share of medical problems -- she has a pacemaker and a defibrillator to keep her heart going, she takes oxygen at night while she sleeps and uses a nebulizer three times a day. But she still lives independently and takes care of her own house, which she shares with a miniature long-haired dachshund named Gretchen.
She also does not consider herself poor. She has a pension from working 25 years in reservations for USAir, plus Social Security that is "just a little bit more" than the approximate average benefit of $1,300 a month.
Her last major indulgence, she said, was a set of hearing aids -- a purchase of "several thousand dollars" she'd put off for five or six years because she didn't feel she could afford it.
"Then my great-grandchildren came to visit and I couldn't understand what they said, so I bought hearing aids. That was a big expense for me."

why convert everything to pyjamas
Why the heck convert the Pyjamas project management to Pyjamas?
i'm already getting questions about why i'm doing this. why not use github.com, why not use sourceforget, why not use ready-made, proven, tried-and-tested project management and development tools, designed for free software development? the answer is simple: when those sites convert their entire infrastructure to have a pyjamas front-end, and release the source code as free software so that people can either manage their projects via a desktop application or via the web front-end, i'll happily convert http://pyjs.org to use their facilities.
if, like 99.9% of the projects hosted on the above-mentioned free software hosting sites, pyjamas was not a web/desktop development platform, this would be a non-issue.
the purpose of pyjamas is to make life easier for both web and desktop development. i get a number of people telling me "but it would be great if you used {insert javascript toolkit}!" to which i have to again gently remind them that the toolkit they are recommending is javascript, not python, and so will work neither for "Eat Dogfood" reasons nor work with pyjamas-desktop (not interactively at the python level, anyway).
so in short: anything that's not using pyjamas is effectively a showcase for that other web technology, not for pyjamas. therefore, simple: to promote pyjamas, use it for everything!

OK, guys flame away....
I have found new job and I will start on Monday. (thank the Lord) The job has a 90 day probationary period during which I will have no insurance. I would not be concerned about that if not for my kids, so I have to do something to keep them insured for that time period. NC has an govt program called NC Health Choice that is a low cost insurance plan for children under 19, if the household meets income requirements. You qualify for a year period at one time. My income qualifies for a family of 5. The insurance has a pretty low yearly on time fee rather than a monthly premium. This would be a great option for my kids to remain insured during the 90 day gap between insurance plans. I will be using it for that period. At the end of 90 days I have two options:
1. Cancel the NCHC plan and add my kids to my insurance plan from the new job.
2. Leave the kids on the NCHC plan for the remainder of the year (which I have paid for) and only put myself and my wife on my new insurance and add the kids after the year is over.
Option 2 would leave me extra money in my paycheck each week as I would not be paying for the kids on my weekly premium. BUT, I do not want to take any handouts and don't want to be considered to be like the people on other govt assistance programs that don't truly need the help. My pride is getting in the way of allowing me to do this--I don't want anyone else taking care of my family.
Option 1 would cost me more money each month (probably close to $150-$200 extra), but wouldn't have any of the possible guilt associated with it for taking govt assistance.

Starring in the ACTS Production of "9 to 5: The Musical" are Hailey Coburn, Kim George, Kristen Harrell, Tracy LeMieux, Michael Muffuletto, Robin Prejean, Kelly Rowland, Aaron Roy, Jordon Thibodeaux, Allen Van Metre and Anne Veillon. (Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, October 06, 2012 11:15 PM
By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
The title song from the 1980 film "9 to 5" had a lyric that opined, "Working 9 to 5 ain't no way to make a living." A local theater director says that the cast and crew of The Artists Civics Theatre has put in many eight-hour shifts themselves to bring the musical version of the film to the stage.
Opening night of the ACTS production of "9 to 5: The Musical" is Friday, Oct. 5, at One Reid Street Theatre. Performances will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 5, 6, 12 and 13, and at 3 p.m. Oct. 7 and 14.
"I'm a fan of the movie, and the plot of the musical is based off the movie, only with musical numbers written by Dolly Parton. It's a lot of fun, and very funny," director Damien Thibodeaux said.
The musical will be presented in a concert format, a decision made to allow the actors more movement on stage, and to offer less distractions for the audience.
"Because this show is drawn from the movie there are a lot of scenes, if we didn't do it in this concert style that would be a lot of time changing from one scene to another, and we wanted to avoid that," Thibodeaux said. "I decided to just do it with a black stage, an ensemble of singers, a bandstand, a desk and a sofa that come on and off stage; instead of being literal it really suggests the stage. We felt that because of the popularity of the movie, audiences would respond to it."
Thibodeaux also said a tight budget contributed to keeping the set minimal.
The show was cast out of both newcomers and veterans of the ACTS stage, a move Thibodeaux says he often makes when casting a show under time constraints.
"When it's a production like this in which there's not a lot of time to put it together, it helps me to know what a person is like on stage," he said, "and, for this show we only had about eight and half weeks to put it together, including rehearsals; it was intense."
"It's a great cast, that just fit these characters perfectly," Thibodeaux said, "and, they all have very big voices which they get to use to great effect during the show."
The show's cast is Haley Ford Coburn as Judy Burnley; Kristen Harrell as Doralee Rhodes; Robin Prejean as Violet Newstead; Barry Whitten as Franklin Hart Jr.; Tracy LeMieux as Margaret; Kim George as Kathy; Kelly Rowland as Roz; Ann Veillon as Marie; Emmie Lancon as Missy; Michael Muffuleto as Bob Enright; Aaron Roy as Joe; Allen VanMetre, Eric Malic Reed and Jordan Thibodeaux, as the ensemble; and a special celebrity cameo appearance for every performance, as Mr. Tinsworthy.
The show's opening performance will be a gala with a portion of the $35 ticket benefiting the Calcasieu Women's Shelter, and will feature a hors d'oeuvres menu with wine and champagne. Donations of women's business attire to prepare clients of the shelter reenter the workforce will be taken through the run of the show.
Tickets for all other performances cost $25 for adults and $15 for students. They can be purchased by calling ACTS Theatre at 337-477-2287, online at www.actstheatre.com or at the Civic Center box office, Lakeshore Medic Pharmacy or Moss Bluff Florist & Gifts.

In February we learned that Jennifer Lopez got dumped by her record label, Sony Music Epic Records, which essentially killed her plans for the release of her new album Love?. Considering how poorly her latest single Louboutins was received by the public, it sounds like Sony decided to cut their losses. But, one record labels trash is another's treasure … today we learn that J. Lo just scored a new record contract with Def Jam Recordings. It would appear that La Diva Latina's music career isn't quite finished just yet:
She said yes. Jennifer Lopez confirmed to Hitfix that she is signing with L.A. Reid's Island Def Jam label. Rumors had been swirling since her split with Sony's Epic Records that she and Reid would team up, but no official word from either party had been issued. Hitfix's Greg Ellwood asked Lopez point blank "Are you signing with Def Jam" on Monday during an interview for "The Back-Up Plan" and she said yes, not once, but twice, smiling about the prospect. Word on the street is that Reid will not only sign Lopez, but will produce the actress/singer's new album. Last month, Lopez and Epic split up before the release of her seventh studio album "Love" following the disappointing reaction to such singles as "Louboutins." Her manager, Benny Medina, confirmed the split to Deadline Hollywood Daily, which broke the news. Since then, the IDJ chatter has only gotten louder. We can't wait to see what Reid and Lopez come up with.
Yeah … you kinda knew that J. Lo's music career wasn't gonna just go away that easily. To be honest, I'm hoping this new union with Def Jam will be a fruitful one. Altho Lopez's music has been quite shite for the past few years, she used to put out some amazingly fantastic pop/dance music back in the day. Let's hope that this new recording contract will re-infuse her music with the vim and vigor it once had. Hope springs eternal … and my hope is that J. Lo's next album will be a club-banger rather than another sad disappointment.

I'm inspired to respond to BigBarada (above) and haven't read JT's statement at this moment. Just trying not to lose my thoughts.
I liked the idea of transitioning to OT ships by AOTC / ROTS. I think the militaries of SW could be shown constantly evolving. (Totally agree with you about the coolness of the AT-TEs. I wanted a toy the moment I saw it - completely falling for Lucas' merchandising trap but enjoying the journey like most of us here.)
AOTC saw Slave-One arrive - which is great beause some ship should not transition, like you still see old Buicks and Oldsmobiles now and then on the freeway.
Landspeeders and taxis wouldn't change much. The triangular shape of Jedi starfighters and Republic assault cruisers was an enjoyable addition.
Also the Correllian Systems Engineering ships with the rows of horizontal engines like the blockade runner were great to see since Episode One's Radiant 7 and Palpatine's diplomatic cruiser.
Now the Trade Federation converting those ring-like freighters to assault and invasion carriers was a great and creative idea that would be very plausible considering what they were and how their military plans were evolving.
I need not mention the walkers again, but in the comics, AT-ATs out of Balmorra were also deployed as early as the time they were using AT-TEs. That also made sense. I think the flatter ones were more practical on Geonosis terrain for better balance and lower anti-personnel guns good for fighting battle droids on foot.
I think we didn't see (Republic) gunships on Hoth because it was too cold and on Endor because there were too many trees. But I'm sure the Empire still had them. They said the speederbikes on Endor were really old.
Because of the toy's features (CW release versions) I'd like it if they'd said the ROTS Jedi Starfighters actually were the Delta starfighters of E2 / CW after they had been hit and refitted for service, with parts missing. In all honesty, the ROTS versions looked to be better, more maneuverable ships than the AOTC types and the EU says they are actually made by different (fictional) manufacturing companies. Lucas just wanted more triangular ships like star destroyers I suppose. But AOTC did have star destroyers at the end at any rate.

Jimmy Carter: U.S., South Korea are violating North Koreans' human rights by withholding food
posted at 5:43 pm on April 28, 2011 by Allahpundit
Via Greg Hengler, why would an American cap a three-day visit to Kim Jong-Il's national gulag by accusing the U.S. of human rights violations? Well, much like Superman, Carter's more a "citizen of the world" now than part of the country he used to lead. In fact, he wasn't there on behalf of the State Department but as part of a delegation from "The Elders," an elite team of ex-statesmen who travel the world sharing the sort of wisdom that's made "Jimmy Carter" synonymous with successful foreign policy ideas here at home.
Kim wouldn't meet with them, incidentally, for reasons I don't understand. When you have a former U.S. president willing to carry your water, hand him a bucket. Instead, Kim sent them a message saying he'd be willing to meet with either South Korea or the U.S. to talk disarmament and any matters — like, say, food for the population, which may or may not be suffering an unusually harsh famine right now due to a bad winter. In theory, that would increase American leverage over Kim: The more desperately he needs food, the more willing he'll be to make concessions to get it. But now that we've got this choice soundbite from an Absolute Moral Authority like Carter suggesting that other countries have a right to be fed by us without preconditions, well, who knows. Besides, after all the North has done for them lately, South Korea practically owes them, no?

- Description
In center of Beijing City is Square is Tiananmen Tower. Initially built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty (1368 A.D.- 1644 A.D.), the Square was the front door of the Forbidden City. The most important use of it in the past was to declare in a big ceremony to the common people who became the emperor and who became the empress. Until 1911 when the last feudal kingdom was over, no one could enter the Tower except for the royal family and aristocrats.

The Canadiens Max Pacioretty reached out to Bob McKenzie of TSN Wednesday night from his hospital bed at Montreal General (video and story) and told McKenzie he doesn't feel concussion symptoms too badly, that he feels surprisingly well in that regard. As for the issues with his cracked vertebrae, they won't be getting attention until some other medical issues are resolved, but he is doing better than he expected.
He added that he thought Zdeno Chara did target him, did direct his head into the upright by the Bruins' bench and that he was disappointed the NHL didn't take some sort of action against Chara, saying it will give players the idea they can do the same thing and not be punished and other players will be hurt as a result.
"I am upset and disgusted that the league didn't think enough of (the
hit) to suspend him," Pacioretty told TSN. "I'm not mad for myself, I'm
mad because if other players see a hit like that and think it's okay,
they won't be suspended, then other players will get hurt like I got
"It's been an emotional day. I saw the video for the first
time this morning. You see the hit, I've got a fractured vertebrae, I'm
in hospital and I thought the league would do something, a little
something," said Pacioretty. "I'm not talking a big number, I don't know, one game, two games, three
games…whatever, but something to show that it's not right.
"I heard (Chara) said he didn't mean to do it. I felt he did mean to do
it. I would feel better if he said he made a mistake and that he was
sorry for doing that, I could forgive that, but I guess he's talking
about how I jumped up or something."
"I believe he was trying to
guide my head into the turnbuckle. We all know where the turnbuckle is.
It wasn't a head shot like a lot of head shots we see but I do feel he
targeted my head into the turnbuckle."
McKenzie said Pacioretty has little memory of the incident. He remembers being wheeled off the ice in the stretcher and he wondered why everyone was making such a big deal of it.
His parents Ray and Anna visited him this morning and Pacioretty told McKenzie they watched the video of the hit for the first time today and Ray cried when he saw it. Ray was at the game but didn't get a good look at it live.
McKenzie added that Pacioretty is encouraged by the support of the Canadiens fans, which means a lot to him. He feels he's getting terrific medical care. As for his prognosis, he is not sure if or when he will be able to play hockey again, but it is his goal to come back and play in the NHL.

Thursday in Northeast Mississippi began with a region-wide freeze along with lingering ice in some parts and as much as three inches of new snowfall in others, bringing one traffic fatality and a slew of mishaps.
By afternoon, the weather over most of the region transitioned to clearing skies, sunshine and temperatures that rose to near 50 degrees, with prospects of mostly sunny days in the 40s and 50s for most of a week.
Law enforcement agencies in Starkville and Oktibbeha County reported several minor accidents, and private and public schools across the county closed for the day. Mississippi State University was open, but officials urged any students or employees to stay home if their roads were treacherous.
Apparently the worst accident in the region was that of a West Point resident, 64-year-old Johnnie Matthews, who was killed on Highway 50 in Lowndes County. His Chevrolet S-10 hit a fallen tree that was suspended above the roadway.
"He struck it windshield high," said Lowndes County Coroner Greg Merchant. Several wrecks occurred in the same spot, Merchant said, though none was nearly as severe.
Trooper Ray Hall of Troop F in New Albany said mid- to late morning on Thursday "got really busy," noting that Highway 78 near the Lee/Itawamba line was the busiest area.
MHP Cpl. Criss Turnipseed said Troop G, based in Starkville, worked 19 wrecks that required paperwork and assisted with many more tows of vehicles that skidded off roads.
Tupelo Police Cpl. Phillip Sanderson noted some snow accumulation in east Tupelo but said roads were fine.
Lee County Emergency Management Director Lee Bowdry said besides a few wrecks in the county and a bus slipping off County Road 814, the weather didn't cause any problems. Lee County Schools Superintendent Jimmy Weeks said the bus was heading to Verona Elementary School when it slid on Town Creek Bridge and bounced against a guard rail. The four students on board were uninjured.
The National Weather Service extended a flood warning for the Buttahatchie River, which includes parts of Monroe and Lowndes counties, indefinitely. It is forecast to crest today without going over Air Base Road.
Another flood warning, for Tibbee Creek in Clay County, was extended until Sunday at noon. A spokesman for Clay County Emergency Management said there were no reports of the creek's threatening any roads or houses.

Twitter shares stopped singing Friday on their second full day of trading.
The stock fell $3.25, or 7.24%, to close at $41.65. However, the profitless social media maven's market value is still a whopping $23 billion.
On IPO day, shares of Twitter (TWTR) soared to $44.90, which represented a 73% jump above the IPO price of $26. But those kind of returns mostly benefitted institutional stalwarts. For the average investor who picked up Twitter near its opening price Thursday morning of $45.10, Friday's profit taking was nothing to chirp about.
The success of the offering, with gradual increases in the IPO price, was a victory for bankers and the New York Stock Exchange, who managed to avoid the pricing fiasco that beset Facebook (FB) on its debut. One can question just who benefitted the most in Twitter's offering, and if the company left too much money on the table, with the low offering price.
As for the future: There's been little said about the complexities of international growth for Twitter. Yet a significant three quarters of Twitter accounts are not in the U.S. and Tweets are in 35 languages. Most tweeting is done on mobile devices. Clearly, extrapolations on the uniformity of Twitter's audience are just that.
But Twitter is in the early innings of growth and has a competitive advantage in capturing some of the world's 2.4 billion Internet users who are likely to find "something or someone on Twitter that they are interested in," according to a report initiating coverage from Wedbush Securities. Wedbush analysts began coverage Thursday with a Neutral rating and a $37 price target.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Broadcasting Treaty
As we noted last June, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Broadcast Treaty—which is a restrictive copyright treaty that aims to create and extend rights to signals of broadcasters and webcasters, and possibly creating serious problems for freedom of expression —is back. Although it has been revamped, it still incorporates the two most controversial proposals from the original treaty text. As concluded by an analysis comissioned by UNESCO back in 2006:
Longtime readers will remember the WIPO Broadcasting Treaty, which EFF has opposed since 2004 because it would harm consumers, citizen journalists, the free flow of information on the Internet, and innovation. Since 2006, EFF and a broad coalition [PDF] of public interest groups, libraries, creative industry members, telecommunications and technology companies have been explaining how granting broadcasters and cablecasters the intellectual property rights envisaged by the draft Treaty would wreak havoc on the Internet community.
Last year, we reported that WIPO Member States had decided to postpone holding an intergovernmental diplomatic conference to adopt the controversial Broadcasting Treaty. For us, and the many others who had expressed concern about the proposed treaty, this was welcome news. But it was short-lived. In 2008, the Broadcasting Treaty is being pushed by its supporters with a vengeance. Surprisingly, the US seems to have reversed its most recent position, and expressed support for continuing treaty negotiations so long as it includes webcasting.
Please note that this is an unofficial version transcribed by the NGO coalition (Petra Buhr (IP Justice), Sherwin Siy (Public Knowledge), and Gwen Hinze (Electronic Frontier Foundation)), on the basis of Member States' comments in the afternoon session of June 22, 2007 at the SCCR S2 and as adopted 5:02 pm June 22, 2007.
Second Special Session of the SCCR
Geneva, June 18 to 22, 2007
of the Second Special Session of the SCCR
on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations
prepared by the Chair
Following the decision of the WIPO General Assembly in its Thirty-third Session in September/October 2006, the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) convened in the First and Second Special Sessions, from January 17 to 19, and from June 18 to 22, 2007.
As we reported last Friday, the public interest won a big victory at WIPO's latest meeting on the Broadcasting Treaty. The contentious provisions creating unjustified rights for webcasters and simulcasters will be removed from the treaty. While this is good news, the battle isn't over yet. The remainder of the treaty draft covering "traditional" broadcasters and cablecasters still poses significant problems, and the webcasting and simulcasing proposals are still in play, as a separate draft treaty moving through a slower process. Drafts of the revised broadcasting/ cablecasting and new webcasting/ simulcasting treaties are due by August 1.

Why take such extreme views? PP is about more than just abortions. They provide other services as well. They provide a valuable service, but I'm not sure the govt should be funding them, or other non-profits.
Someone came up with the idea that the govt should take care of he needy, i.e. welfare & Medicaid. As surely as there are rules for qualifying for these stipends, there should be rules for limiting the # of children these people can add to the roles. If you go on welfare with one child, that's all you get paid for. Give birth control devices or tubal ligations at no cost, if necessary, but do not increase the stipend for future children. I think that might slow things down a bit. Even local non-govt homeless shelters have rules like "You can't stay here if you keep drinking."

Planned Parenthood has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act, amending the Public Health Service Act. Title X of that law provides funding for family planning services, including contraception and family planning information. The law enjoyed bipartisan support from liberals who saw contraception access as increasing families' control over their lives, and conservatives who saw it as a way to keep people off welfare (Wikipedia).
Is it cost effective in the overall scheme for taxpayers, if it prevents 620,000 unintended pregnancies and 220,000 abortions?
What its prominence suggest, and what all science confirms is that the dog is a creature of the nose- A. Horowitz.
how come there is a little roger and a little RK and not a little Ken Bora? Nobody ever wants to be just like me. Always left out of the cool cliques
UB, think of it as a shoot growing off a tree. You can ether nip it off early or have to deal with it once it grows. Imagine all the prison beds and welfare checks we would need without those contraception services alone. It is just cost effective, from a practical standpoint.

Radiation exposure is increased by a factor of a trillion. Inhaling even the tiniest particle, that's the danger.
Yo: So making comparisons with X-rays and CT scans has no meaning. Because you can breathe in radioactive material.
Hirose: That's right. When it enters your body, there's no telling where it will go. The biggest danger is women, especially pregnant women, and little children. Now they're talking about iodine and cesium, but that's only part of it, they're not using the proper detection instruments. What they call monitoring means only measuring the amount of radiation in the air. Their instruments don't eat. What they measure has no connection with the amount of radioactive material.
Dr. Helen Caldicott (Co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility):
– The Propaganda From The Government And The Nuclear Industry About Low-Level Radiation Is Absolute Rubbish:
You've bought the propaganda from the nuclear industry. They say it's low-level radiation. That's absolute rubbish. If you inhale a millionth of a gram of plutonium, the surrounding cells receive a very, very high dose. Most die within that area, because it's an alpha emitter. The cells on the periphery remain viable. They mutate, and the regulatory genes are damaged. Years later, that person develops cancer. Now, that's true for radioactive iodine, that goes to the thyroid; cesium-137, that goes to the brain and muscles; strontium-90 goes to bone, causing bone cancer and leukemia. It's imperative … that you understand internal emitters and radiation, and it's not low level to the cells that are exposed. Radiobiology is imperative to understand these days."

Mysterious Writings by Roger Williams Deciphered After Almost Two Centuries
RIC Professor Emeritus of History J. Stanley Lemons
Since 1817 many have tried and failed to decipher coded writing in the margins of a colonial-era book believed to have been written by Rhode Island founder Roger Williams.
The mystery was solved by a Brown University undergraduate student – Lucas Mason-Brown – with the help of RIC Professor Emeritus of History J. Stanley Lemons and Brown University Professor of History Linford Fisher.
According to the Associated Press, historians call the now-readable essay by Williams the most significant addition to his scholarship in a generation or more. The essay was published this month in a book titled "Decoding Roger Williams: The Lost Essay of Rhode Island's Founding Father" (Baylor University Press, 2014), co-authored by Lemons, Fisher and Mason-Brown.
Lemons retraced the origin of the mystery and how it was solved.
He said, in 1817 Nicholas Brown Jr., the man for whom Brown University was named, acquired a 250-page paperback titled "An Essay Towards the Reconciling of Differences Among Christians." Every inch of the book's margins and white space was scrawled with indecipherable words and symbols. When the John Carter Brown (JCB) Library at Brown University was built in 1905, the book was added to the collection accompanied by a letter stating that Roger Williams was the author of the marginal notes.
"But there was no way to prove it without decoding the notes, which no one was able to do," Lemons said.
Dubbed "The Mystery Book," the text languished in the archives of the library for the next century until former Library Director Edward Widmer invited a committee of Brown faculty to crack the code.
When they failed, Widmer invited a team of Brown undergraduate students to take on the challenge in 2011. Among them was junior math major Lucas Mason-Brown who would become the primary decoder on the project.
Mason-Brown had his first major breakthrough when he learned that Williams had been trained in shorthand as a boy. He was able to figure out that the notes were a 17th-century version of shorthand.
"Mason-Brown is brilliant. Others have tried to figure that out for centuries," said Lemons.
But that wasn't the only problem for the young mathematician. To complicate matters, Roger Williams had made up his own symbols for words. "For example, his word for friendship was the letter 'f' next to a drawing of a boat," Lemons said. "Eventually Mason-Brown compiled a dictionary of over 1,000 frequently occurring terms in Williams' writing." By 2012 he had cracked the majority of the code through a combination of cryptology and consultation with other specialists.
"Lucas was sent to me by Widmer because Widmer knew I was an expert on Roger Williams and Lucas had questions about how to interpret the text," Lemons said.
Mason-Brown determined that there are three separate writings in the book. Two sections are notes Williams jotted down from books by other authors – one on cosmography and the other a medical encyclopedia. The third section is a 20-page essay by Williams on infant vs. adult baptism, a major theological issue during that time.
"When Lucas sat with me, he would ask me to explain religious terms, such as, the meaning of 'dipping' and 'the covenant of grace'," Lemons noted. Included in the newly released "Decoding Roger Williams," is an essay by Lemons on the issue of baptism, along with an essay by Fisher on the conversion of Indians to Christianity and a section by Mason-Brown on his process of decoding the material.
One might ask why Williams would write notes in a printed book rather than on paper. "In one word, 'scarcity,'" Lemons said. "Paper was not made in America. It had to be imported from England. Rather than use good paper to take down notes, Williams used the white space of this book as a notepad."
Lemons served as professor of history at Rhode Island College for 39 years and is the only faculty member to have been awarded all three of the principal awards for scholarship, teaching and service in the Division of Arts and Sciences. He has twice been recognized by the American Association of State and Local History with the Award of Merit (their highest award) for his contributions to Rhode Island history. Lemons is author of eight books and is currently beginning work on a history of Baptists in Rhode Island.

text: Migration Info The fact that some members of this species commonly winter along the coast of southern California may be a recent phenomenon, as these birds are generally found in the vicinity of eucalyptus and other non-native ornamental plants. Older records show the northern extent of the Western Tanager's winter range to be central Baja California. The majority of this species winters in southwestern Mexico and Central America. The actual migratory routes of Western Tanagers are largely unknown. These birds are high-altitude nocturnal migrants and can apparently travel great distances in one night. One curious aspect of their migration is that some Western Tanagers arrive in breeding areas in northern Alberta at the same time that other Western Tanagers arrive in central Colorado, more than a thousand miles to the south. It is unknown whether these Alberta breeders follow the Pacific coast and turn eastward, if they follow the Rockies, or if they pass high over the northern Great Plains without being detected.

Mike began his career in the entertainment industry as a talent rep for a large, well-respected talent management Company for S.A.G. actors and fashion models. The Company has been in business for for about a quarter-Century (25 years).
In 2006, since the Company was then based in the porn capital of the world (the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles), Mike suggested to the President of the Company that they open a division for adult film models. The President accepted, and Mike was put in charge of leading the new division. For the first few months, he went to work for a couple different porn producers to learn the ropes of the adult industry.

Soul of Fight: Hioki, Buakaw Win
- Written by Dave Walsh
Earlier today was the SRC marathon year end show, Soul of Fight. In the main event, Hatsu Hioki defeated Marlon Sandro for the SRC Featherweight title in a bout reports are calling a potential fight of the year. Hioki and Sandro battled it out for a full 5 rounds before Hioki took the unanimous decision victory. Sandro came in with incredible momentum riding a string of big KO's, while Hioki had come back strong from a controversial 2009 loss to Michihiro Omigawa. Most pundits predicted Sandro taking this one, but Hioki turned in an amazing, career-defining performance that stopped Sandro dead in his tracks. With that win, Hioki will jump into the top 5 rankings at FW, making him one of Japan's top talents right now.
In the biggest fight of the night for kickboxing fans, Buakaw Por. Pramuk faced K-1 MAX Final 16 fighter Hiroki Nakajima. Buakaw easily controlled his younger opponent, dominating Nakajima en route to a unanimous decision win. Also in stand-up action, Genki Yamamoto fell to Kanongsuk Weerasakreck via unanimous decision under Muay Thai rules in a bout that sounds brutal.
The entire card was epic, with over 20 fights, so there were a lot of highlights. A few notable results to point out:
-Maximo Blanco continued his impressive run through SRC, although he faced stiff competition from Won Sik Park. Blanco took a close decision in a tough fight.
-Yoshihiro Maeda bounced back from a rough year in Dream by defeating former SRC champion Masanori Kanehara by stoppage in the 1st round. Most reports say the stoppage was a bit early in this wild fight.
-Ryo Chonan faced late replacement Taisuke Okuno, and was unfortunately caught early, being KO'd in just 19 seconds to an Okuno punch.
No video available just yet, but MMA Fighting's Daniel Herbertson has a great breakdown of all the action.
Full results are as follows:
Sotaro Yamada def. Yi Sak Kim via TKO (Punches) Round 1 - 1:40
Kiyotaka Shimizu def. Ichiro Sugita via Decision (Split)

Difference being you striated Weeden and Tannehill in the 2nd round and I'm guessing Griffin and Wilson in the 3rd? I had Luck, Weeden and Tannehill all solid 1st rounders and Griffin & Wilson as high 2nds or low 1sts.
But I'm much more of a sucker for drafting a QB high than you. Especially since the implication that drafting a QB high is even on the table means that your team doesn't have one, in which case you'd better hurry up and start laying down some investments otherwise you're drowning.

Stopping ObamaCare: Hoping for Ghost of Christmas Future or appendectomy?
Unfortunately, ObamaCare health care reform has become a matter of being the best bill money can bribe. It seems the only way the Democrats can cram it down our throats is to offer big buck incentives to hold-out Senators to reach the magical 60 vote majority and then vote in the dead of night.
Senator and Doctor Tom Coburn said it best, "This process is not legislation. This process is corruption, and it's a shame that that's the only way we can come to consensus in this country is to buy votes."
If bribes weren't bad enough, Senate Leader Harry Reid scheduled the final vote on the eve of Christendom's most significant holiday: Christmas Eve. The timing of his vote is a slap in the face to Christians.
All I can say is that our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves at the dirty tricks some legislators have sunk to.
What can we do? Really nothing, except pray that just one of those 60 Democrats would change their vote? Something in the spirit of A Christmas Carol, where the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future visited Ebenezer Scrooge prompting his change of heart, that 1 or 2 Democrats would be convicted or have troubling dreams of what America will look like in the future under the tyranny of ObamaCare.
Or, we need something to keep a Senator or 2 from voting on the Senate floor Christmas Eve. Not anything serious, just a well timed emergency appendectomy or something?
Unless we get a reprieve, we probably will have a signed Senate bill on Christmas Eve. Talk about coal in our stockings!
The only shred of hope we have of defeating ObamaCare after that is to hammer our legislators while they are home in their districts over Christmas break. The House and Senate versions still must go through conference committee to come up with the final version. My hope would be some Congressmen would reconsider, seeing that over 60% of Americans DON'T WANT OBAMACARE.
God help us, everyone.
Pertinent reading (my emphasis): Catholic League: Reid deals "Three Card Monte" : "...Sen. Harry Reid's health care bill resembles—"Three Card Monte." The dealer is the federal government with its "opt out" and "firewall" illusions regarding abortion coverage; the confederate is the insurance companies with its "segregation of funds" illusions; and the loser is the taxpayers, especially those who are pro-life.
The central difference between the card game and the health care bill is that the former doesn't wind up subsidizing the killing of innocents."

I headed out to Chatham County to meet up with my best friend to scout some turkeys on a piece of land we just got permission to hunt. I thought it was 600 acres, but including the aunt's land across the road, it is more like 1,000 acres. There are a couple of other guys who turkey hunt on it though. One is a retired logger who sits in the same place each year for 3 or 4 hunts, or until it gets too warm, whichever comes first. The other also only hunts there 3-4 times a year, as he has other family land in the same area. Some of it has been clearcut, some has been thinned, and some is heavy cover & mixed pine/hardwood. It borders the river and has always had an abundance of turkey on it.
We found several roost sites and loads of tracks, feathers, & droppings. I already know two places where turkeys are going to die this Spring.
Here's some pictures;

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case The TechnoUnion Starfighter From the Battle of Utapau in ROTS). Pictures are below.
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy The TechnoUnion Starfighter From the Battle of Utapau in ROTS?
This would have be for the $24 star fighter assortment.
The vehicle would hold one Pau'n pilot, or more typically for movie scenes, a battle droid or Magna Guard droid (though the last favored their own specialized star fighters that Hasbro already makes toys of).
The interceptor might fire two missiles from hidden side compartments, much like the upcoming Twin Pod Cloud Car will.
It's small and adds to the Separatist attack fleet.
Do you want this made?
How do you think it would sell if produced?
Do you want to see it featured again in The Clone Wars to create further recognition?
This will be the last vehicle poll from ROTS. PT polls will continue for only a couple more weeks at the most, with the remaining options from TPM and AOTC. The Expanded Universe Polls still have a lot of exciting options.

Alternate name: Western Big-eared Bat
Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description Has huge ears and a pair of glandular lumps on either side of the nose. The back is pale to reddish brown and the belly is pale buff. Forearm 39-47mm. Uncommon and sensitive to disturbance at the roosts. Subspecies from the Ozark Mountains (C. t. ingens) and limestone caves of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia (C. t. virginianus) are Endangered.
Dimensions 89-116mm, 33-54mm, 9-12g
Endangered Status Two subspecies of Townsend's Big-eared Bat are on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The Ozark Big-eared Bat is classified as endangered in Missiouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, and the Virginia Big-eared Bat is classified as endangered in Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. These bats roost in caves and mines, and have two types of roosts: hibernation and maternity. Their decline has been brought about mainly by disturbance and vandalism of these roosting areas. When hibernating bats are disturbed, they tend to use their fat reserves at a higher rate; if disturbed frequently or for long periods the bats can die. Interference at maternity colonies sometimes results in the death of the young or drives the bats to move to another, less-suitable roost site where the colony's overall mortality can be compromised.
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Similar Species The western analogue of Rafinesques Big-eared Bat, it is distinguished by belly fur color. Lacks the leaflike lappets of Allens Big-eared Bat.
Habitat Deserts, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Cities, suburbs & towns, Canyons & caves, Forests & woodlands
Range Plains, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Texas, California, Northwest
Discussion Forages late, which makes it difficult to observe in flight. Often hunts in edge habitats between forest and open areas.

When I was a little kid, I was crazy about the military. Every day after school, a few friends and I would storm imaginary fortresses, take turns pretending to be drill instructors, or perform black-ops junk food reconnaissance. I had a long family history of men who served in the armed forces, including my dad. My father was my hero. He never talked much about his time in the service when I was young, but his strength was inspiring.
Out of high school, my Dad and I marched down to the recruitment office and we signed up together. Six months later, I was a certified United States Marine and for the first time – my dad shook my hand. That was one of the most important moments in my life – up there with my wedding day and the birth of my beautiful daughter.
Once I entered the fleet, I advanced fairly quickly. Having a drill instructor for a father, I had practically been training for it my whole life. After eight years, I had reached the rank of gunnery sergeant and I returned from my third tour of duty. My second term of service was coming to a close and now I had a wife and an adorable 5-year-old daughter. I came to the decision (with a little urging from the ladies in my life) not to reenlist.
It's difficult for a somebody without some sort of military history to understand the culture shock that comes with adjusting back to civilian life. It had been 8 years since I had tried a new haircut. I was 26 years old and my only job experience was in military communications and a paper route from my early teen years. I became quickly overwhelmed and discouraged because I was struggling with finding a direction to go in with my career. What would my drill instructor say?
- Rule #1 – Applying for jobs is like going on patrol. It may be repetitive, boring and often uneventful – but it is extremely important! When you least expect it, the time to take action will pass you by. If you get side-tracked, discouraged or lackadaisical, you'll miss your opportunity strike.
- Rule #2 – Keep up your morale. When you get discouraged or frustrated take a step back, stop thinking about how much job hunting sucks and take a little recreational time to get your spirits up. Nobody wants to hire a Debbie-downer!
- Rule #2.5 – Don't go A.W.O.L.! Keep in mind that every moment you're not hitting the pavement, other people are out getting jobs.
- Rule #3 – Do your reconnaissance. The more you know, the better you'll do. Having a good amount of knowledge about the company you're applying for can help you buffer your resume and also looks really good in an interview.
- Rule #4 – Never ever run out of ammo! When you're hitting the city for jobs, bring extra resumes, more than you think you'll need. If you're forced to retreat because you run out of resumes, you miss out on job hunting time and potential employment opportunities.
- Rule #5 – Watch out for the ambush! You may find job opportunities in unexpected places, don't miss them. Practice interviewing so you'll be ready for one on a moment's notice.
Before I knew it, I landed a job as a marketing manager in an emerging business. The job was a piece of cake. As a long-time NCO in the military (remember, that counts as management experience on a resume!), I held command above some of the most difficult people on the planet. With a trained staff of civilians under my command, I was in a position to really help that company fly, and fly it did. To this day, my military training helps me stand head and shoulders above the competition in the corporate world and I hope my brothers and sisters in arms find this article well and that it helps them thrive after enlistment.

Mustangs and the path not taken
Not every drive has to be a serious exercise in proper form and the perfect cornering line. Sometimes, when the weather's good and the traffic's barely there, it's a balm to hang your elbow out the window, lean back, and just amble around with nowhere to be and nothing to do. Like jazz, it's a uniquely American thing. And like jazz, sometimes pointlessness is the point.
The rolling wallop of Can-Am cars in Turn Five at Road America, clobbering you in the chest so hard you momentarily forget to breathe. The mind-melting shriek of a modern F1 car. The labored, clattery drone of a 24 Hours of LeMons field. The lean pops of a Weber carburetor as it spits back through open throats. The high-rpm whir of just about any V12's starter motor. The heavy clunk of a Hurst shifter in a Sixties Camaro; the alchemic clack of the lever in an old Ferrari; the violent whunk of the sequential 'box in a 911 GT3 Cup. The groan of old English leather. The creak of old German leather. Porsche 911 doors (tick-thump) versus Shelby Cobra doors (tuk) versus big Cadillac doors (God's medicine cabinet). The full-throttle, rise-of-the-machines brup of a twin-clutch Volkswagen GTI upshift. The keening future-whisper of a Tesla at full throttle. And all you have to do is listen.

I call it inline try catch. It is like the blend between try/catch and the ternary ? operator. An example of how to use it.
//block try catch string result = null; try { result = bar.getStringValue(); } catch (BarException) { result = "Default string"; } // inline try catch string result = try bar.getStringValue() catch(BarExeption) "Default string";What I like about this is the try catch block returns a value, this would reduce branch complexity but at the cost of having longer line length. I could see the inline try being quite ugly if care isn't taken to keep it simple.
Any thoughts?
