The brewing industry was built by dynasties and that's the culture that still prevails, it seems. SABMiller has decided that Graham Mackay, its long-serving chief executive, is the best person to replace its long-serving chairman, Meyer Kahn.
Booting the chief executive upstairs breaches the recommendation of the UK corporate governance code, which established a decade ago the excellent principle that chairmen should be independent, since concentrating too much power in one individual is generally a bad thing at public companies. In fact, SAB is proposing two breaches for the price of one: for a year, Mackay will combine both roles as executive chairman while the next chief executive, Alan Clark, learns the ropes as chief operating officer.
Naturally, SAB thinks it is a special case (they always do). The senior management team, it explains, "has been one of the most stable and consistent in the FTSE 100". The boast is plainly justified since the Kahn-Mackay double act has been in place since listing in London in 1999, in which time SAB has performed wonderfully for shareholders. But is that sufficient reason now to install Mackay as chairman?
No. The principle that chairmen should be independent is worth defending even at successful companies such as SAB. Indeed, given that SAB has two large shareholders with boardroom representation (Altria, which owns 27%, and Bevco with 14%), there's a particular reason here to insist that the board is run by an individual who is seen to be fully independent. Mackay's elevation, with the "strong backing" of Altria and Bevco, looks a little too cosy.
Most UK institutional investors, one suspects, will be dazzled by SAB's record and won't bother to waste time complaining; and some may agree that retaining the services of the 62-year-old Mackay is paramount. But every exception to the rule makes it harder to defend the virtue of independent chairmen.

Well, friends, I need some advice. My fiance and I have decided that we're going to go to NYC for our honeymoon in January. While the trip will be fairly low budget, we're going to splurge on one dinner. My aunt, who is married to a native New Yorker and still has an apartment in Manhatten, suggested a couple of restaurants, but I want to see what you guys think is the ultimate dining experience in NYC. I'm prepared to spend up to $500 for the two of us. Suggestions?

Cross beams in ceiling joists
1 Attachment(s)
Can these cross beams be removed completely or should they be put back up once i'm done?
These are called bridging. They transfer a load by compression from the top of one joist to the bottom of one on either side. They reduce flexing, (some bouncing of the floor), of one joist at a time so they should go back in.
You also need to look into getting that mold treated that's growing on the joist.
Is there a 6 mil. vaper barrier on the ground?
If you pulled them out completely, you may want to buy some metal replacements http://www.strongtie.com/products/co...tb.asp#tables2 as the existing wood cross-bridging (9% effective for deflection) are almost impossible to re-nail at the top of joist, high enough. OR, just add a full size blocking (15% effective) between the removed ones, or add 1x4 strapping to the bottoms (25% effective/deflection)of all after replacing; http://www.ewpa.com/Archive/2004/jun/Paper_278.pdf
Wow thanks guys for all your responses. Can the cross beams be glued back between the joists?
No there is just a concrete slab. But I am in the process of insulating it very well now(walls, rim joists, ceiling)
I'm putting drywall up in between the joists so can the cross beams be lowered to accommodate the 5/8" drywall?
Those are not cross beams, they are X bracing as previously described. There is no effective way to glue wooden X bracing in place. If you need to get the bracing out of the way to allow installation of drywall, you can install steel X bracing as previously discussed by GBR.
"I'm putting drywall up in between the joists so can the cross beams be lowered to accommodate the 5/8" drywall?"---------- I don't understand. Why would you install drywall above the cross-bridging? Why against the flooring? I must be missing a thought here.....
It's for soundproofing purposes. Drywall and Greenglue against the subflooring. So can they go back up just a little lower 5/8" because of the drywall?
Ahh... Appears you need to shorten a few that flush at the joist bottom. Leave a space between opposing ones so they don't rub/squeak. I usually clip the "air-nails" or "shiners" that miss the joist from above, same reason.
awesome thank you very much.

Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris needs surgery on his troublesome knee but the Ashes hero will delay the operation to be a part of the team's tour of South Africa next month.
The injury-prone 34-year-old considered having surgery during the 5-0 Ashes victory over England but it would have ruled him out of last two Test matches.
But he played through the pain and took eight wickets in the final Test at Sydney to secure the whitewash. He was named man of the match.
"There's bits of bone floating around and we were thinking about doing it then and there and missing the rest of the series," he said. "But I wanted to play five games. I wanted to be a part of it for the whole thing. My knee is no different now than it was a month ago or six weeks ago," he added. "Unless something really bad goes wrong, which I don't think it will, after Africa we'll get back and we've got enough time off to get it cleaned up and go from there."
Australia will play three Tests in South Africa starting in Centurion on 12 February.

The trend is your friend for best and worst stocksAaron Pressman
Over at Laszlo Biryini's shop, they've posted the 20 best and worst performing stocks in the Russell 2000 small-cap index for the first half of 2006. Nothing jumps off the page. Weight-loss firm Medifast (MED) almost quadrupled while biotech drugmaker Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) fell off a cliff, losing 83%.
It does make one wonder - is there a contrarian play here? Will the first half's losers run up for the rest of the year while winners take a tumble? At least based on the 2005 data, the trend is your friend and the contrarians will be punished. The 20 top performers of the first half of 2005 gained a modest 9% on average in the second half, with 10 showing losses. The 20 worst performers went on to lose another 16% on average with just six gainers.

"Flux" Connectivity Series of cables
as reviewed by Guido D. Corona
I have been a fan of Furutech wires for the better part of a year. My experience with the Furutech Evolution II series of wires (see my PFO review on issue 45) concluded that the series is an ideal rock-solid performer on which to build the connectivity foundation of a substantial audio system, in spite of their moderate unit price point. Thus, a sequence of related 2009 Furutech announcements concerning a new line of flagship cables, under the general Flux brand name, immediately peaked my attention. LineFlux represents Furutech's highest interconnect achievement to date, while SpeakerFlux and PowerFlux respectively, crown the Japanese company's lineup of speaker wires and power cords, all at a price point that whilst not yet pushing into the stratosphere of certain other brands, is never the less more in line with many premium offerings in the industry. Hence, I was extremely curious to discover if—through the new Flux line—Furutech maintained its tradition of delivering a construction quality and a sonic performance that is more than commensurate with price point.
Jonathan scull of Scull Communications—marketing consultant for Furutech—ever understanding of my audiophrenic obsessions—kindly facilitated the delivery of a well-packed box containing a plethora of Furutech Flux review samples: 2 meter long XLR and RCA LineFlux interconnects, 3-meter long SpeakerFlux speaker wires, and several PowerFlux power cords in 6ft and 12ft lengths.
The Technology
It became immediately apparent that Furutech remains at least as committed to the sheer esthetic prestige of their premium wires, as they are of their underlying technology. The single word that can properly summarize the 'curb-side appeal' of the Flux line is. . . Stunning!
The understated appeal of the Techflex sheathing the wires is contrasted by the almost jewel-like beauty of the massive LineFlux and PowerFlux end connectors, where a wide center band of highly polished high density carbon fiber shimmers with an anthracite-hued micro-weave, while the outer end of the shells gleam in equally polished stainless steel. Electric prongs protrude in burnished Rhodium from the basic black inner bodies of the AC connectors. A series of taps in multiple points of the heavy shells reveal that the connectors are massively constructed, and suffer of no obvious mechanical resonance problems.
The underlying Furutech Flux technology is as impressive as is its exceptional esthetic value. As Furutech explains in its company literature, the FI-50® IEC and FI-50M® PiezoCeramic male connectors on the Powerflux cord are in themselves veritable technological tours de force: the connectors are constructed from a combination of non magnetic stainless steel with "six cross-layers of carbon fiber embedded in a lustrous, highly damping and insulating acetyl copolymer." Below the shells, the technological innovation continues inside nylon bodies that are doped with nano-sized polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramic particles, powdered graphite, and glass fibers to control resonances, by piezoelectric effect among ceramic particles touching under positive pressure. Thermally conductive Graphite particles drain piezo-generated heat from the cores, while glass microfibers act as further mechanical dampeners. Finally, connector sections that may produce fields are painstakingly star grounded to drain residual electro-magnetic fields.
Not to be outdone by connectors, Powerflux conductors incorporate their more than fair share of technological advances: "68-strand a (Alpha) OCC [are] twisted around µ–conductor strands with a special-grade PE insulation or dielectric. (Alpha conductors are fine OCC wire treated with Furutech's Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetizing process.) The dielectric is surrounded by an inner sheath of RoHS-compliant PVC incorporating carbon powder that enhances damping, and that in turn is covered by a full a (Alpha) conductor wire braid shield, [and A further] flexible PVC outer sheath." The cords are finally inserted in an external black Nylon Techflex jacket.
The Speakerflux speaker wires continue the Flux series technology story: Alpha OCC Pure Transmission conductors are typically terminated with rhodium-plated nonmagnetic pure copper spade connectors for the amplifier side, and rhodium-plated banana connectors are mounted on the speaker side, while other terminations are available upon request.
The impressive Lineflux interconnects conclude the Flux technology story: they feature solid-core α (Alpha) OCC conductors, double-layer shielding, and a high-grade polyethylene dielectric containing further electric dampeners. The pleasingly flexible black 13.0 millimeters-thick Lineflux interconnects are terminated by the largest and densest connector bodies that have ever graced my system. True to the Flux theme, the connectors are finished in layered carbon fiber and stainless steel, and sport rhodium-plated copper pins. Unbalanced interconnects feature CF-102R RCA connectors, while XLR balanced wires mount CF-601MR male and CF602FR female connectors.
Of course, the entire Furutech Flux product line is lead free, and complies with the stringent European Union's RoHS (Removal of Hazardous Substances) environmental regulations.
Further Technical Notes
The "Field Damper" system used in many Furutech power cords [is said to drain] small eddy currents and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by the metal hardware [fastening] the connector shell (US Patent No. 6,669,491). Current flowing through a connector creates a magnetic field that—Furutech engineers have discovered—induces an unwanted current flow (and thus a magnetic field), even in the screws holding the connector together. These admittedly weak magnetic fields, so close to the connector, appear to interfere with the stability of the larger magnetic field around the current flowing through the conductor and connector, with inherent detrimental implications to downstream musical reproduction. The Furutech solution to this problem is to create a Floating Field Damper system, which connects the securing screws to a ground terminal within the plug, and according to Furutech engineers completely eliminates the related field disturbance by "dumping" residual stray fields to ground through a series of interlocking parts connected to the ground line.
Furutech's employs an advanced "W" wire-clamping system that is engineered for firm contacts and pure, stable power transmission.
The Furutech α (Alpha) conductor is fashioned from fine OCC wire strands treated with Furutech's Super Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Process, while OCC stands for Ohno Continuous Cast Single-Crystal Oxygen-Free copper. Ohno is no acronym, but is the last name of professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan, who in 1986 patented a novel metallurgical process applied to the production of single crystal copper by heated mold continuous casting. Single crystal rods of ultra-pure Oxygen Free copper can then be drawn in very fine single crystal wires up to 700 feet long, and display electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties that are believed to make them particularly desirable for manufacturing extremely high quality audio wires.
Furutech has further refined the process and has adapted it to the α (Alpha)-OCC conductor material used in its transmission products.
According to Furutech, "a high temperature heated mold produces mono- or single-crystal ultra-pure copper wire with insignificant traces of oxygen and hydrogen, reducing the ratio of stress to strain within the wire. Since Ohno Continuous Casting produces a flexible wire, a higher specific gravity and higher "Q", its mechanical isolation and resistance to electromagnetically induced vibration is excellent. Furutech OCC monocrystal wire has no crystal grain boundaries within the conductor, resulting in [vanishingly] low distortion."
Furutech's OCC variant includes a 2-Stage Cryogenic and Demagnetizing sub-Process that begins "with a deep, conditioning cryogenic freeze of all metal parts, including conductors and connectors. Using high-end refrigerants—liquid Nitrogen or Helium—Furutech achieves between -196 to -250C. At these extreme temperatures, the metal parts [are thought to] change molecular structure, removing internal stress. Molecules bond together more tightly and the overall structure [is said to become] more stable, while enhancing electrical conductivity, power and signal transfer.
Stage two in the α (Alpha) Process exposes these same parts to [Furutech's] patented Ring Demagnetization Treatment, [...] [which] uses controlled attenuation to eliminate all magnetic field effects. [...] and further enhances conductivity of all treated materials."
The Music
In themselves, technological achievements are of only passing interest if they do not resolve into sonic—and most of all—musical performance. I was delighted to discover that the Flux series wires are almost as easy to work with as the wonderful Evolution II series that I reviewed on the September issue of PFO. The only moderate precaution to be taken is that, the substantive PowerFlux connectors being rather hefty and featuring significant amounts of hard non-magnetic steel on their shells, they must be handled with greater care than those of many other cables, lest they scratch or nick softer Aluminum equipment components.
Lineflux, Speakerflux, and Powerflux cables were finally connected to my fully balanced system, consisting of TEAC Esoteric X-01 Limited, the fabulous GamuT CD3 guest CD player, the recently released JRDG Criterion 2-chassis battery-powered linestage, a JRDG 312 stereo amplifier, and my beloved Vienna Mahler V1.5 speakers. Power distribution duties were alternating between Furutech Daytona 303 and Furutech ETP-309, both connected to a dedicated 20 Amp AC line..
It became soon apparent that the 200 to 300 hours of break-in time customary for wire products are woefully insufficient for the Furutech Flux wires to achieve their full performance. The PowerFlux cords in particular, require a protracted time to stabilize—as much as 800 to 1,000 hours of substantive playing time. The impatient obsessive-compulsive listener may be sorely tempted to give up on Powerflux prematurely, as incompletely broken in power cords may temporarily generate a foreshortened front-to-back staging, treble overpressure, wooden bass, some ragged transients, and perceivable disorganization in treble sostenuto. Interestingly, Lineflux and Speakerflux wires appear to stabilize somewhat faster. In the end, it is advisable to allow considerable break in time before any critical listening, and any subsequent attempts to venture serious pronouncements on this remarkable line of cables.
It was after almost 6 weeks of intense music making, while I was working on the Gamut CD3 review, when the Flux suite in my system started to emerge from what I can deem to be a somewhat intempered adolescence, and proceeded to blossom into a vigorous early adulthood. On the Esoteric X-01 Limited in particular, the 1981 performance of part 1 from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring under Antal Dorati and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DECCA London) became a new land of sonic discovery and of musical revelation. The movement alternates massive chordal and percussive sections where brass scoring predominates, with densely contrapuntal episodes scored for a bewildering variety of woodwinds, performing parts that, at least in the mind of the ever-optimistic Russian composer, must have sounded densely soloistic. Recording reality has been mostly different: The devilish counterpointal interplay typically is buried inside a glittering mass of sound, in which individual melodies rarely emerge. That is, until an audio reproduction system is subjected to the cleansing action of a sonic thoroughbred such as the Furutech Flux product series. Suddenly, the previously undifferentiated herd of woodwinds focuses into three-dimensional individuality. Unique melodies are heard in what seems a kaleidoscopic game of interrelated yet subtly discordant threads, all crisply occupying solid positions in the 3-dimentional stage. The timbre of each instrument is fully fleshed out, exhibiting a richness of overtones and a clarity that never even remotely resorts to the romantic. The contrabassoons in particular, usually barely perceived as mere deep buzzings in the general background, emerge with hereto-unheard crispness and character. The brass fanfares are as massive as I have heard them this far, with the individual instrumental components that still retain integrity of timbre at sound pressure levels that I do not usually submit my system to. The percussion has extraordinary speed, transient crispness, and authority. If I were to find the vaguest of fault to the presentation, perhaps the stunning resolution of the Flux family comes with a slight emphasis on the treble, which I did not detect on the Furutech Evolution II or on the Furutech High End Performance series. Furthermore, while instrument positioning is amazingly solid, the depth of the stage is comparable to that of the High Performance series, and may be exceeded by some older Shunyata Helix power cords, which however may fall just slightly shy of the timbral resolving power exhibited by the Flux ensemble.
Some further experiments confirm that any marginal misgivings that I may still be holding for the Flux series are purely limited to the PowerFlux power cords. A single change of cord feeding the ETP-309 from the dedicated wall outlet to a Furutech High Performance series custom cord is sufficient to moderate any residual excesses. I cannot help wondering if the generous application of non-magnetic steel and ferro-ceramics in the substantial power cord connectors may be responsible for the subtle heightened treble energy.
J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 performed by Hans Fagius at the reconstructed 1764 Wahlberg organ of Fredrikskyrkan, Karhkronan, Sweden (Brilliant Classics complete Bach works) is without peers. The stage is magnificent, the overall frequency sweep is excellently extended with full pitch definition down to the lowest pedal range, and the general atmosphere is grand and intensely emotional. I perceive a heightened sense of physical presence and musical reality combined with Energetic freshness, probably caused by the superb degree of treble resolution afforded by the entire Flux series. A truly rare sonic gift is the delightful 'chuffing' sound of the mechanical organ traction that the wires expose with amazing realism. Even the highest ranks of pipes have crisp presence, yet they remain textured and always in supreme control, in spite of my continuous ratcheting of the volume, up to sound pressure levels that could be experienced only several feet from a live instrument. My chronic fears of detecting tell-tales traces of those fatiguing chords that presage the beginnings of treble intermodulation are unjustified. After two full months of music making, the Flux series is now unflappable: it has finally grown into a glorious adulthood.
My standard test tracks confirm my late findings. As late as a fortnight ago, I had still observed sporadic hardness in Antonin Dvorák's the Ruins of the Old Castle, a short imagistic work spanning 7 octaves performed by talented pianist Inna Poroscina (Brilliant Classics). Finally—the Flux suite now approaching the 1000 hours mark—the composition blooms into welcome musicality within a framework of fine low-level detail. The usually barely perceivable shush of piano felts and pedal movements emerge, just as if I were standing 9 feet from the instrument. The treble is now hardly shy, yet it is completely controlled: revealing and shimmering with inner complexity, it has lost a certain metallic feel that gave me some early pause, and its graceful presence shows no sign of overpressure. The Bass is extended and pitched, with just a hint of pleasing darkness. The harmonic complexity--that starts in the bass region--continues in the mid register with only minor traces of unspecificity, which—in some extremely busy fortissimo fff passages—can yield some front-to-back foreshortening of the otherwise deep stage, as well as some marginal voicing confusion.
Transient speed and authority of the suite is flawless. I define the Flux wires as powerful while remaining simultaneously measured. Soft transients in pianissimo ppp expose Poroscina's delicate internalization of the work, while her fff chords are delivered with the weight of all her elastic energy, never degenerating into the fatiguing hypertrophic transients that mimic locked wrists and elbows.
Further explorations of my test library consistently reinforce my opinion of the Furutech Flux wires being extremely fine instruments for music making. In classical chamber music, modern female vocals, and large scale orchestral works alike, they consistently deliver a fine balance of powerful authority and graceful nuance. Diana Krall in Temptation—from "The Girl in the Other Room" (Redbook Verve)—remains crisp and focused throughout the song. Her well-centered voice is filled with the resonance of upper frequencies. Yet, Krall's vowels and plosives remain always musical and naturally controlled, without any of those disturbing bursts of transient pressure that characterize the flaws of certain wilding wires.
In the end, the very long-drawn break-in process that--with tender loving care--coaxed these marvelously finished products into delivering the fine performance of which they are capable, revealed the Furutech Flux's true nature of sonic thoroughbreds, which comfortably outperform even the substantial resolving power of the Furutech Evolution II series. Admittedly, those audio enthusiasts who suffer of borderline anxiety disorder, and who are compulsively driven to jump to the next upgrade if their jaws is not reflexively dislocated in absolute awe shortly after inserting a new product into their system, should perhaps consider a different suite of wires, or at least limit themselves to the LineFlux interconnects and the Speakerflux speaker wires, which achieve their full performance within the more customary 200 to 300 hours of operations. Yet, those patient music lovers, immune to the cravings of instant gratification, who enjoy the experience of a long break-in process sometimes approaching the 4 digit hours territory, so frequently called for by the most demanding of system components, will be rewarded by the high sonic beauty finally delivered by the complete Furutech Flux series.

This article introduces a theoretically based and validated measure of relationship power dynamics: the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS). Focus groups were conducted to generate items for Spanish- and English-language scales. The SRPS was administered to a census of women (N = 388) at a community health clinic. All respondents had a primary male partner; they were mostly Latina (89%), with mean age 27 years. The 23-item SRPS possesses good internal reliability (coefficient alpha = .84 for English version, .88 for Spanish version) and predictive and construct validity. Factor analyses support two subscales: Relationship Control and Decision-Making Dominance. As hypothesized, the SRPS was inversely associated with physical violence and directly associated with education and consistent condom use (p < .05).

Patriots' Brady wins AP award
New England Patriots QB Tom Brady won the Associated Press player of the year award.
Brady received 21 of the 50 votes. Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick got 11.
Houston Texans RB Arian Foster finished third in voting, San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers finished fourth, Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White finished fifth and Philadelphia Eagles WR/PR DeSean Jackson finished sixth.
It was widely believed that Brady would win the award, but Vick's second-place finish is amazing considering he was away from the game for three seasons until he returned as a backup during the 2009 season.

Northside Christian senior Alex Kruklinski, who won a Class A wrestling state title at 195 pounds in February, verbally committed to Appalachian State, according to his dad, Michael.
The Russian-born New Jersey transfer terrorized the 185-pound weight class early in the season, logging wins at the East Lake Invitational and Jerry Mita tourney. Mustang coach Zach Breitenbach moved him up to 195 pounds midway through the season and Kruklinski went on to win the City Championships, districts, regionals and states. His season record of 39-2 was highlighted by 24 pins.
"Alex is one of the most physically-gifted wrestlers in the country. He's incredibly strong and quick," Breitenbach said. "Beyond his physical talents, he worked hard in the preseason and the season and made tremendous strides in his technique throughout his senior year.
"Having wrestled Division I myself, I know without a doubt that he has everything it takes to be successful at ASU. He will have outstanding coaches there, and it is a great university."
Kruklinski joins a renowned Appalachian State program that has eight Southern Conference titles. Third-year Mountaineer coach JohnMark Bentley was just named the conference Coach of the Year.

Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.
An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River - one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help....
Have Mercy! Listen to another Mercy Thompson chiller.
©2011 Patricia Briggs (P)2011 Penguin
After book 5 I had thought Patricia Briggs had lost direction with her Mercy character. I am very pleased with River Marked it brings us back to what made me fall in love with this series to begin with. A full cast of the characters we know and love yet continuing the story line in a way thats not repetitive. A wonderful book on its own and a great addition to the series. Lorelei King does a very good job narrating a must listen.
I'm a Romance Junkie! Love Whispersycn Deals! Tips I use: Sort reviews Most Recent; play with narration speed, some narrators sound better.
This was yet another great book. I would recommend this book as well as all the others in this series. I just cannot get enough.
"Love it"
It was just too short for me I wanted more!! But as a story I suppose just the right amount of length. It was wonderful to see Mercy and Adam together and away from the pack. I can see their bond has grown strong and steady as ever and that they know each other really really well. After reading so many descriptions of Adam's gorgeousness, I'm starting to wonder who does he look like LOL (any suggestions?)
A bit of spoiler alert
Compared to the other books, this book is definately written for the fans of the book. I mean the wedding, getting Stephan out of the gutter, finding out about Mercy's mom and sisters and of course her DAD! There were so many tidbits that were so enjoyable for the fans.
THe greatness of the series is that Mercy and Adam are supernatural and tough but not invincible. There are consequenses to everything that they do. This book is no exception. Not only for the injuries but also how the "monster" was killed. I like how the walking stick was taken care of the end. I wonder if it will stick with the Coyote or come back to Mercy like all the other times.
I now eagerly await for another book.
PS I hope Stephan finds some sort of happiness soon.
Married, middle-age, owner of 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a messy house.
"One more in a very good series"
This story includes many previous characters, but adds quite a few new ones, and I hope we get to see at least some of them again. The story has moved in a new direction, adding depth to the story and the characters. I especially enjoyed the humor - there seems to be more of that this time. I'm really looking forward to book 7! This series is one that I have listened to several times, and I plan to continue to replay. Ms. Briggs writes a very good story, and Ms. King brings it to life.
"Not my favorite of the series"
This was actually my least favorite of the Mercy books. I was so looking forward to it too. It took a long time for the story to build to any action, and then it was just over. I missed the interaction of the main characters with the rest of the pack, and the wedding was over before it even began. The chemistry between Mercy and Adam didn't seem to be there as much. I actually just wanted it to be over and hope the next is much much better. :(
"A great short story, but not enough for a novel."
If you want to know what married life is like for Mercy and Adam, River Marked definitely has you covered. Patricia Briggs' latest effort kicks off with a shot gun wedding. We follow Adam and Mercy for a majority of their honeymoon, which was for the most part was uneventful. When the story does pick up, Mercy will take on a journey to discover her heritage and meet her father along the way. A reconnection to her past and ancestry will help her to battle an ancient evil.
While we get some great insights into the evolving relationship between Adam and Mercy, and I love seeing them work through their emerging problems, and how the alpha persona and wolf pack complicates things. Their relationship takes on a new richness, but the overall book seems disjointed. One part is this great in depth look at our love birds then there is the actual story. I felt like the story was tacked on, and not really developed fully. The book was a typical 336 pages but the real story line didn't seem to start until halfway into the book. The beginning started with Stefan and his human stable, and you would think that the storyline is going to follow along those lines then that resolves rather easily and we move on to family issues, nuptials, and the honeymoon. Sometime after we settle into marital bliss and after a few bread crumbs here there that hint at the bigger picture to develop, we actual get into plot. But it seemed very short. I think if Briggs had integrated the plot earlier in the story it would've blended into the usual standard we have come to have expected. Even the little bits introduced during the start of the honeymoon were too little and too far between. Though I loved the stuff with Jess and Mercy's family, and wedding I think the overall story should have been threaded within or in between the stuff with Stefan, and her wedding.
Overall River Marked has some great background on our favorite were-coyote couple. The actual story is good, just a little to short seeming, better integration from the start of the book would have the whole thing gel better and read like one book instead of two stories. The background on Mercy's father was great too. This is a must read for Mercy fans.
"Another great Mercy book!"
I really enjoyed this book, as I have all the other Mercy books. It had a great blend of romance and action, though I would like it if PB made her books a bit more steamy. I really liked that Mercy learned more about her heritage and found more shapeshifters. I liked that Adam played a large part in the story. The narrator does an excellent job of both men and women's voices.
"Another Great Book"
This is yet another great book in this series. Patricia Briggs is an awesome writer.
"Best in the series so far."
I've been critical of previous books in this series because of some of the choices that Patricia Briggs had made with Mercy Thompson as a character. This book, however, makes up for that. The challenge Mercy faces in this book is quite unique, even for this series. You also get a real sense of the love between Mercy and Adam in this book, something that I felt was glaringly absent from the previous books. My only complaint is that many of the male characters voiced by Lorelei King sounded too similar, which made following along in some parts incredibly difficult.
I Love a great supernatural tale, a Love story, PNR, a Cool Mystery and Most Sci-Fi....if there are vampires, weres or witches in it, that's a plus! Basically I am a 40+ y/o young at heart woman rediscovering the wonderful world of books and am now addicted! Lol I LOVE AUDIBLE!!!!!
"I hope there is another one!"
Interesting, fun, and smart!
Mercy and Adams wedding....it was so sweet...I cried!! lol
Again Mercy and Adams wedding....made me happy for her!
Mercy attracts more trouble!
I loved this series...yes this last book only got 4 stars from me, but I found the middle a bit boring....but it picked back up and brought me home....I hope there is more to this very smart and sassy series!!!

hi, does anyone know if there is a wordpress file or plugin that would allow the following on our site…
we would like to allow someone to upload their information like a picture ..600×400 along with their contact info a few other things and maybe a bio…then it would format it self in a post or page
if you know of anything that would be a huge help
Hi garygersin, I just put together a system for a Wordpress project I am working on that does this and it was a lot of custom work involved with the help from 1 plugin to handle the storing of a user image. Perhaps I could release it as a premium plugin if there's enough interest. It would allow you to assign a page to be the user bio, info and image edit page. Does this sound like what you are after?
that is exactly what i'm looking for…
do you have this available yet? thanks
Hi garygersin, im currently working on other projects but have added it to my list. Follow me on here and il try and get it live this month
Hi garygersin, I have just uploaded a new plugin called My Profile, it should hopefully be reviewed and accepted today. This will allow you to add a page for users to edit there own profile without having to go into wp-admin.
that's fantastic news cant wait to see it

The photo, left, on an Islamic website appearing to show a US soldier with a rifle pointed at his head and a photo of action doll Cody. Photographs: Brady Miller/MonkeyDepot.com/Reuters
For a moment it felt as if real life had fused with the puppet action of Team America: World Police. An Islamic website posted photographs of what it claimed was a US soldier held hostage in Iraq and said insurgents would behead him in 72 hours if the US did not release prisoners. Then it emerged that the "soldier" was very likely no such thing; he in fact bore a strong resemblance to a US military action doll sold in the Middle East under the name Cody. Even the miniature gun pointing at his head is part of the set. A spokesman for manufacturer Dragon Models USA said it would be a "huge coincidence" if it was not one of his dolls in the picture.
While the claim was a hoax, it is not clear who made it and why. The statement was posted on a website often used by insurgents (though with misspellings in the Arabic text) and could have been placed there by a group desperate for glory; alternatively, someone outside insurgent circles could be taking inspiration from Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Sick as they are, such hoaxes have happened before. In August, television stations around the world showed a video in which 22-year-old San Francisco man Benjamin Vanderford faked his own beheading.

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has two broken ribs and did not play Thursday night. The third-year backup did manage to practice fully throughout the week, but head coach Rex Ryan said that Tebow's ribs were becoming worse. Tebow skipped his usual punt protector responsibilities and is expected to be ready in two or three weeks. Ryan also told reporters that he is going to stick with Mark Sanchez at quarterback because "he gives us the best chance to win."
Fantasy Analysis:
Tebow's fantasy impact has been far less than most expected heading into the season. The Jets were blown out on Thanksgiving by 40 points and it says a lot that they still plan on using Sanchez over Tebow. Their offense is atrocious and the defense is not what it used to be. Fantasy owners should try to avoid any and all Jets players. Dustin Keller is playing well recently and Shonn Greene is a decent flex or depth option. Beyond that, it is slim pickings.

Wall Street is being dragged into the Silicon Valley talent war as the demand for data analysts increases on both coasts of the US.
Though maths and statistics experts are still offered handsome pay packages at New York banks, the thrill and cachet of life at an internet start-up is luring more of them to trade in their suits and financial models for jeans and website optimisation.
"The trend is it's much cooler to be an entrepreneur than to go work on Wall Street," said Bill Aulet, a business professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "They're in it because they want to change the world, they want to feel like they're adding value and not becoming an extra in Inside Job," (the documentary film about corruption in the US financial system).
Comparing that with the box office success that was the The Social Network, last year's film about the origins of Facebook, is a sign that Silicon Valley is winning the "cultural war" with Wall Street, said Peter Thiel, a prominent Valley investor.
Wall Street's financial strength and reputation among elite universities still captures many top maths and engineering students upon graduation. But the daily work may not be enough to keep them from decamping to the Valley after a couple years, said Jeff Hammerbacher, chief data scientist at Cloudera. He was recruited out of Harvard by Bear Stearns, the collapsed investment bank, where he worked as a quantitative analyst for 10 months before taking a job at Facebook.
"I definitely think the pull has tilted toward Silicon Valley," he said.
The financial regulations on Wall Street and the formal hierarchies in investment banks can make young data analysts feel stuck, whereas working on open source code or launching a start-up carries more freedom and more exposure, Mr Hammerbacher said. He remembers a panel at Bear Stearns where successful executives talked about their career paths.
"The critical jump where they made the transition from contributor to manager occurred because their boss was fired or left unexpectedly, so they stepped in and did well," he said. "So instead of waiting for your boss to get fired or quit, you go where there is no boss and prove yourself under a trying circumstance."
Engineers want to be surrounded by smart people and challenging problems, he noted. More than anything, they want to be appreciated. On Wall Street, traders and investment bankers rule, not quantitative analysts, or quants as they are called.
"They haven't yet created a culture that places the quant at the top of the food chain," he said. "Turning geeks into gods is what Silicon Valley is in the business of doing."

UTMB receives "Military Friendly" designation
To learn more about this designation or the Veterans Resource Group, email email@example.com.
Welcome to the Respiratory Care Department! If you are interested in or have questions about the Respiratory Care Program at UTMB, please call us at (409) 772-5693. You may also Request Program Information Online.
Did you know the Respiratory Care Profession is considered one of the top 25 best jobs for 2013? It is! U.S. News and World Report just published its list of 100 best jobs for next year, and "respiratory therapist" came in at No. 24 overall and No. 13 in the health care category.
Respiratory Therapists work as part of the health care team in hospitals, cardiopulmonary diagnostic laboratories, rehabilitation centers and home care agencies. They work with physicians and other health professionals in health care planning, evaluation, and treatment of patients with cardiac and pulmonary disorders.
As clinicians they perform therapeutic and life support procedures including the administration of oxygen and aerosolized medications, breathing treatments, chest physical therapy and mechanical ventilator support. In addition, they perform diagnostic tests that assess cardiac and lung function and operate physiologic monitoring equipment and life support systems in the critical care setting.
The Department of Respiratory Care offers several different tracks for students interested in the Profession of Respiratory Care. The tracks begin with an entry level bachelors degree and advance to the masters degree.
The Entry Level Bachelors Degree (BSRC) or Foundation Program is designed for those just beginning their professional training with little prior knowledge of Respiratory Care, and requires 49 semester hours of prerequisites for admission and 79 semester hours (2 years) of professional course work after entry into the program.
The AS to BSRC Bridge Program designed for graduates of other types of Respiratory Care Programs who have passed the NBRC Registry examinations, provides for up to 50 semester hours of block credit. In addition to the same 49 semester hours of prerequisites required for admission to the Foundation program, AS to BSRC (Bridge) students must complete 32 hrs semester hours of professional courses after entering the program.
The RC Department opened a new Masters Degree Program in the Spring of 2012. This program leads to a Master of Science Degree in Health Professions with a specialty in Respiratory Care. The MS in Health Professions is a degree targeting individuals who are registered therapists and are looking to advance their training in one of the two specialty areas of management, and education. The masters curriculum is a web-based curriculum.
In addition the Department offers a dual degree track for students wishing to combine their Bachelors Degree in Respiratory Care with a Graduate Degree in Physician Assistant Studies or a Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy. The BSRC must be completed before entering these Graduate Degree programs.

John Mayer: Working Hard in NYC
Getting down to business New York City, John Mayer stepped out of his hotel and made his way to a business meeting in Tribeca today (February 20).
Cool in casual threads, the "Who You Love" singer departed wearing a gray and yellow sweater, white tee and blue jeans, carrying a bag and case along with him.
In related news, rumors have been roaring all throughout Hollywood, as John's lady love, Katy Perry attended the Elle Style Awards in London on Tuesday wearing a massive diamond ring on her left hand!
Since Valentine's Day, the awards show marks the second occasion for which Katy has sported the ring in public, the first being the time she and John dined at Sunset Towers in Los Angeles for the holiday.
However, for all the hype surrounding the song stars' relationship, sources have stated that they are not engaged, and that plans to wed have not been discussed.

It's a well known, TOTAL scam...
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 21, 2014POSTED: Thursday, August 21, 2014
The money order will bounce after you've sent them the requested funds. The method of payment makes it untraceable and your money would be gone and the bank would charge your account for the bounced M.O. plus any fees.

What is the Chicago Architecture Blog?
The Chicago Architecture Blog is an online publication that chronicles the urban life and development in Chicago. While its focus is often the downtown areas of Chicago, this is an accident of geography and not policy. We are interested in all areas of Chicagoland and beyond.
How long has the blog been around?
The blog has been in regular publication since September of 2003. That means that we're cooler than your blog, and your favorite band sucks. Not all articles are available online because we have occasionally moved from one platform to another, and it was not always possible to bring older articles along.
Who writes the blog?
The blog has several regular and guest writers. We welcome submissions from all, whether they are written articles or simply snapshots of your neighborhood. If you'd like to write for us, or send us pictures, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can I write for the blog?
Yes. Probably. If you live in Chicago or Chicagoland, have an interest in architecture or just the City of Chicago, chances are "yes." Shoot an e-mail to email@example.com and tell us about yourself, your interests, the sorts of things you might write about, and links to or clips of any samples you might have and we'll see what happens. You don't have to be a professional writer, or an architect or engineer, or anything like that. You just have to be passionate about Chicago.
Can I contribute to the blog without writing?
Absolutely. You can just snap pictures of interesting things you see in your neighborhood or around town with your cameraphone and e-mail them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why are there always addresses in parentheses?
In part, to give newcomers to the city and people unfamiliar with the locations of the topics we're writing about a means of reference. Also because there are various computerized "bots" on the internet that scour our content and sort it into neighborhood news packages for people. This helps those people.
What is a "Spy?"
A "Spy" is a general term we use for anyone who sends us a news tip. Usually people send us just one sentence or maybe a photograph and a sentence. We assign names to those people who do not want to be identified based on the area that they send us the most tips from. For example, "West Loop Spy" or "Gold Coast Spy." Sending us a news tip doesn't make you a spy. We're happy to use your real name or another handle of your choosing. But if you don't tell us what to call you, you will become a "Spy."
What kind of news tips are you looking for?
Anything. Everything. Sure, we love big stories, but not everything worth publishing is huge. Even smaller "tiplets" are welcome. Did a new restaurant open up on your block? Pop us a note. Is construction on that building by work coming along nicely? Whip out your cameraphone and shoot us a pic. Did you go to a neighborhood festival? Take a dozen pictures and we'll make a gallery out of them.
Who is responsible for the blog?
The Chicago Architecture Blog is the property of the Artefaqs Corporation, which was founded in Chicago in 2007.
How can I get in touch with someone from the blog?
The easiest way is to e-mail email@example.com. If you want a more complicated method, click the "Contact" link near the top of this page for a complete list of contact options.
Can I advertise on the blog?
Yes. Ads can be had for as little as $20/month. If you're not into cash, we have been known on occasion to trade for products and services. Shoot an e-mail to email@example.com and we'll work something out.
How many readers does the Chicago Architecture Blog have?
Did you enjoy this article? Click to give the author a few cents.
Hard to believe it, but tens of thousands. Several tens thousands. We love each and every one of you, but even we have to shake our heads when we look at the numbers from Google Analytics.

Sure, you could slather the fish with a prepared mustard, but the key here is flavor control. A few minutes of tasting and adjusting allows you to customize the level of heat and herbs. The sauce will mellow a bit during roasting. Brushing all sides of the fillets will keep the salmon moist.
For a tender side dish, roast some trimmed asparagus spears, drizzled with balsamic vinegar or olive oil, while the salmon is in the oven.
Servings: 4
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 to 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 2 to 4 teaspoons dried tarragon
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (6 ounces) center-cut skinless salmon fillets-only, preferably 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick, pin bones removed
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking oil spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, honey, dry mustard and tarragon, stirring until smooth. Lightly season with salt and pepper; taste and adjust the mixture's seasoning as necessary. Brush the fillets with the mustard mixture and place them in the baking dish. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes; the salmon should be just cooked through and should separate easily with a fork. Transfer to individual plates and serve warm.

I have always been a big fan of Earl Grey tea and really like Sainsbury's Taste the difference Tea Bags which retail at one pound fifty for a 125 gram 50 bag box. I like many brands of Earl Grey and very much like the Twinings range. However being on a budget always has me on the look out for more reasonably priced products and I find this taste the difference range of tea bags to be a good quality and lovely tasting brand.
I do not think that these tea bags are quite as aromatic as some brands but this suits me fine as I don't like the overly 'perfumed' taste that comes with some Earl Grey brands.
It states on the box that these Taste The Difference Earl Grey tea bags have black tea and Bergamot as the ingredients. I have noticed that some Earl Greys are also flavoured with lemon. I like to take my tea with lemon but it tastes really nice on its own too. I know some people like to add milk to their Earl Grey but I am not a fan of milk in either tea or coffee so this tea bag is perfect for me in that it has a nice light taste and can be enhanced with adding a slice of lemon.
As it is less expensive that Twinings and Clipper I tend to stick to Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Earl Grey as it suits me very well. I do not like overly strong tea of any kind and find that even though I do not leave the tea bag in water for long the taste is still good. A good tea at a reasonable price.
I adore EG tea. I have tried asda's own and they don't come near in my opinion.
This brand is easily worth the small layout, and tastes just as good as the more expensive counterparts ie. twinings.
You don't even need to allow the tea bags to brew for very long as they make a refreshing, strong cuppa, and is a great alternative in your day from ordinary black tea.
EG is not however , to everyone's taste so only people who enjoy the perfumed concoction should buy them!
The tea does, for some reason, taste even better if you drink it with a segment or two of terry's chocolate orange!
I have even tried EG with a small amount of milk added and it still tastes as good though many do have it black of course.
The tea is a sure fire winner with everyone I know, and I believe sainsburys offer the nicest tasting teas and at the best value.
Hubby & older daughter popped into Sainsbury's yesterday with a quickly-scribbled shopping list to which I added Earl Grey. As we're all for 'down-branding' wherever possible I was pleased to see they'd chosen Sainsbury's Taste the Diffrence Earl Grey which only cost £2.19 (for a box of 100) as opposed to the normal Twinings ones at £3.37.
I love my Earl Grey first thing in the morning & around teatime as I can enjoy it in peace & relative tranquility (dog asleep!) & although it's more expensive than other sorts I think there's something special about it's flavour.
The box is very attractive & stylish & has a perforated opening which keeps the bags fresh. As soon as you open them the fragrance really hits the spot - a strong smell of bergamot with an underlying one of tea. I was surprised to see they are round as opposed to the Twinings square ones & about half full in strong bags.
It's suggested that you use 1 bag or adding '1 to the pot' if using a teapot & allow to brew for 3-5 minutes. I found this made a good strong cuppa (which is how I like it) but it may be too strong for some? It was a great colour & the aroma was lovely but, of course, the proof is in the drinking....
Well, to be honest I was disappointed in the taste - maybe I'm so used to Twinings - but I found the bergamot flavour to be too strong & the taste of the 'blended teas' to be too weak. It was OK though & I think my tastebuds must have adapted as I enjoyed this morning's drink more than yesterday afternoon's - but still definitely prefer my usual brand.
On the box it states you can choose from light, medium, strong or an extra strong blend of teas & the one I have ( medium) is the only one Sainsbury's had available instore yesterday so I'll try the extra strong next time.
- much cheaper than Twinings
- choice of light, medium, strong, extra strong.
- well packaged.
- durable teabags.
- strong taste of bergamot.
- not enough tea flavour for me.
The great appeal of these is the price for example, 100 tea bags (2.19), 50 tea bags (1.39) compared to twinnings 100 tea bags (3.37) 50 tea bags (2.29).
Sainsbury's range includes tea bags (50 and 100), loose leaf (125g) and decaffeinated tea bags (50).
So the taste: They have a sweeter taste than twinnings earl grey. They produce a light tea (which is normal for earl grey), and they have a very delicate smell. To drink I do not find them as nice as the twinnings range and they have a slightly bitter after taste, which is unusual for Earl Grey.
I do find that Earl Grey relaxes me more than the normal leaf, but I would also suggest that if Sainsbury's Earl Grey is good enough for you, then I would keep it there for the times that you need it and instead switch to a normal tea from someone like Tetleys or PG tips. Which is even cheaper if you buy in bulk.
I know a lot of people think earl grey should be drank with lemon, but im just not one of them. I love the fresh lemony zing you get from a cup of earl grey but also like the consistency of a normal 'brew' as we say here in Lancashire.
Ive tried a few brands of earl grey and this one is up there with the best of them.
Price: £1.39 for 50 tea bags. Compared to other brands such as twinnings this is reasonably price.
What makes me 'taste the difference'?
I often find that earl grey can taste a little perfumed. As a said before i like the citrus notes in earl grey but hate perfume. Thats why i like this variety so much. The box says that bergamot has been used in the flavouring. To me it is a rich, well rounded flavour. Not too tinny or chemically again as some earl greys have done in the past.
How i make:
I boil the kettle, add an earl grey teabag to a cup (china preferably), pour on hot water and leave to brew for 3 minutes. I then add milk. A real pick me up in the afternoon. If making for two i like to make a small pot with one earl grey tea bag and one breakfast blend teabag. The mixture is lovely.
Storage instructions:
As with all teas its important to protect the flavour in the bags so don't store near your herbs and spices, or in the sun.
Also is suitable for coeliacs according to the packet
A deliciously delicate blend that is perfect for an afternoon cuppa
I only recently strayed from the "bog standard" tea bags we have always used at home. I was finding that the milk I put in my tea was making me feel a little off colour, so thought I would try some of my mum's tea. I have tried her herbal teas in the past, but found them to be no more than hot water with a nice smell.
I found Earl Grey loose leaf tea to be very nice. It is stronger than herbal teas, but more delicate than tea bags like Tetleys or PG. It's not as easy to make a cuppa with loose leaf tea as there are always a few little bits that escape the infuser and drifdt into your cup, so be careful of the last mouthful. I tend to put about half a tea spoon in the infuser, which then goes in a teapot. I find you can several cups out of one infusion and that you can put more hot water in the pot several times without having to change the tea.

Cosmopolitan Key Biscayne; the Island Paradise
Ce que vous allez adorer dans ce logement
This is my own personal vacation home which I exchange a few weeks each year. Recently painted and upgraded, this corner top floor (third) apartment is located 2.5 short blocks from the beach.It offers beautiful original artwork, a cozy kitchen, a brand new central air conditioner, cable TV plus high speed Internet and is fully equipped with linens, towels, dinnerware for four, coffeemaker, toaster, microwave plus other small appliances. The bedroom is ample and comfortable. Common areas have a swimming pool and laundry room. The apartment has an assigned parking space. The 9-acre Village Green Park with walking/jogging paths, playing fields and a beautiful kids playground as well as a Sun Trust bank branch are located a block away. Also, three blocks walking distance you will find the Winn Dixie supermarket, coffee shops, many restaurants, two pharmacies and boutique shopping.
Ce que vous allez adorer dans le quartier
Key Biscayne is 15 minutes away from downtown Miami, 30 minutes from the Miami International Airport and 45 minutes from the Ft. Lauderdale Airport. Even though it is so very close to the "mainland"...it is another world. Key Biscayne is an upscale, cosmopolitan self governing Village with a great deal to offer to the visitor. If you are looking for a vacation with ready made meals ( take out or delivered) there are plenty of restaurants catering to all tastes and needs.The Winn Dixie supermarket offers anything from sushi to salads and meats ready made and freshly prepared. If you prefer to eat out, Key Biscayne has over 25 restaurants. Step outside my place and just walk to one of five small shopping areas or rent a golf cart to move around during your stay. If you like to dine 5 forks, you can visit our five star Ritz Carlton Hotel next door to my place and sit by the ocean while you sip your favorite drink and enjoy their a la carte menus. There is another gourmet supermarket, The Golden Hog which sells ready made delicious gourmet food by the pound. It is located next to the Donut Gallery where traditional breakfasts (but no donuts!!) are served. Your palate will be a happy camper by the time you depart.
The apartment is close to a number of tourist attractions such as nearby Bill Baggs State Park with its iconic light house and famous beach where the sea turtles come to shore to lay their eggs. Crandon Park the home of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world is a few minutes driving distance. You are also close (5 minutes) to Rickenbacker Causeway beach (parasailing, sailing) and Rickenbacker Marina (fishing and snorkeling in Key Biscayne National Park). Another two nearby (3 minutes) Key Biscayne attractions are: golf at The Links which is considered one of the best public golf courses in the U.S. and tennis at the Crandon Park Tennis Center where the Sony Ericsson tournament is played. Aside from what Key Biscayne has to offer, the Miami area offers all types of tourist attractions ranging from world class museums to the Everglades National Park.

Youza. Not sure if this is good or bad for GM and my stock.
Youza. Not sure if this is good or bad for GM and my stock.
How much worse can that stock get?
What a great use of all our tax money.......BAILOUTS DO NOT WORK............
20K and a 25K car voucher...
I'd take sh*t and run.
It could be a good thing...
If those who except have anything left in their retirement. Not a bad idea to buy out the ones who are eligible for retirement, rather than putting the 35yr old with 2 kids, a stay at home mom and a mortgage payment in the unemployment line.
Basic business 101
If you're sinking, unload the labor. Payroll is usually the biggest expense and the quickest was to cut costs. Hopefully it isn't too late for GM. Sad for those who may lose their jobs, but the alternative is to take down GM. I'm guessing tons of people will leave.
If our gov't & States knew this basic rule, we wouldn't be in this hole. But instead what does the gov't do? hire more people and spend more money. Makes total sense...if you're an idiot.
Most likely they will be on gov't assistance programs........That way we all get to pay them twice..........Once with the money sourced from the bailout and then again with unemployment programs.
Nothing new here. The government money they got was intended for this very thing from the beginning. Also the approx. 22K employees being offered the package are "pension eligible" and the $20K is just an enhancement to move them out. It's far more economical to get these people off the clock asap as they are the highest scale in hourly labor costs. Probably among the least productive also.
Current new hires have a completely different pension structure and hire in for less money. This is a planned and positive step towards getting stabilized.
"Bottle by bottle, I'm clearing off that shelf...."
