Sanzar must call SA's boycott bluff
12 Feb 2012
South Africa's five existing Super Rugby franchises have threatened to pull out of the competition in 2013 – if six South African teams are not accommodated. MARK KEOHANE says Sanzar needs to call their bluff.
Once again the tail is wagging the dog. Once again Saru's leadership is being shown as pathetic and without bite.
Oregan Hoskins, the greatest of disappointments as a leader, needs to stand tall and dismiss the threats of the five South African regions. He won't and the regions will continue to hold the national governing body to ransom, when it should be the other way around.
Rapport newspaper's sports editor Rudolph Lake wrote of a meeting between the five regions, a meeting sanctioned by Saru, in which they would look at solutions to the Kings' entry into Super Rugby in 2013. The same regions, whose leadership had unanimously accepted the Kings' 2013 entry more than two years ago, now feel the need for crisis meetings, in which the only solution is to accommodate six South African teams.
Now comes the threat that all five South African regions will boycott the tournament if they don't get their own way. Any proper leadership will tell you they have no option but to play in the tournament. If they don't they are in breach of existing contracts, they lose their primary source of income and they won't have a region, let alone players.
It makes for a dramatic headline. It sounds spectacular. But there is no way they should even be in a position to make such a demand.
Sanzar's board members should be laughing at South African administrators who are nothing but an embarrassment with their insular agendas and motives.
On Sunday the City Press sports section was led by an expose of the Golden Lions Rugby Union's finances. Leading Media24 investigative journalist Jacques Pauw reveals that the Lions liabilities exceeded assets by R46.6 million in 2007, by R49.6 million in 2008, by R63 million in 2009 and by R73 million in 2010. It shows the Lions owing R38 million to Absa for an overdraft facility, R18 million to businessmen Robert Gumede and Ivor Ichikowitz, R14 million to Saru, R5 million to former coach Dick Muir, R6.8 million to the Leopards Rugby Union and R4.5 million to the Pumas Rugby Union.
Who are the Lions to threaten a boycott of the tournament?
Hoskins confirmed to Lake he had received a letter from the five regions with the threat of the boycott and that he was 'shocked and disappointed'.
Come on, Regan. Show some leadership. You can't always be shocked and disappointed. Sending the letter to the other nine provinces for input is also not about leadership, but more denial.
If the five 'traditional' provinces don't want to play in Super Rugby, then kick them out and play the next five. Forget about provincial identities and focus on the players. The players will move to where the playing opportunity is.
The five traditional unions, among them the cash-strapped Lions and Cheetahs, have no position of strength when it comes to Super Rugby participation.
The bluff to force an expansion of Super Rugby from 15 to 16 teams and six South African teams should not be tolerated within Sanzar. If SA does not play ball, as per the agreed Sanzar deal and broadcasting arrangement, then Sanzar and the broadcasters should sue Saru and the respective regions/provinces.
What we are seeing here is how administrators in South African rugby have always conducted their business, be it by bullying or bluffing. The threat to withdraw should be a threat from Sanzar to kick them out.
Hoskins, in his time as Saru president, has never made a hard decision to show he is in charge. He has failed transformation and failed at everything that requires a decision and potential confrontation.
Don't expect this situation to be any different, although I'd like to think those wizards in New Zealand and Australia have slightly more business acumen and a bigger set of balls to tell South Africa's traditional five to F-off and stop their shenanigans.
Saru should have dealt with who falls out long before they gave the Kings the OK to play in the 2013 tournament. If it is on historical performance then the Lions must go. And if you look at their finances they should have gone ages ago.

13 Feb 2012, 08:10 amSARU should've consulted the unions before they made this decision for them. Tank you ANC, your involvement in this matter is very obvious.
13 Feb 2012, 09:48 amFor the first time in years I think Keo has written an article worth reading. The unions weild way too much power in SA rugby. Why do the lions deserve a Super rugby spot? They have for the last 5 years finished last or second last. Frankly they dont desrve to play Super rugby. So they won the curry cup, honestly so what?
Unions should stay in the curry cup the the super rugb franchises should be professionally managed, based in the big cities and not be held captive by unions. The players should be centrally contracted and the bok coach should have input, only inlput into where and how the players should play. it should be national interest first not petty union issues first.
The cheethas and the lion may as well not bein super rugby for all the impact they have.
13 Feb 2012, 10:40 am@BreakdownBoy-301: which decision was made for the unions? in 2005, the unions agreed to get the South Eastern Cape involved in Super Rugby through the Spears, when the time came for the Spears to join, the same unions through SARU spent over R10 million rand getting rid of the Spears through nefarious means, and just so you know Cheeky Watson had nothing to do with EP Rugby at the time.
the British & Irish Lions were here in 2009 and the Southern Kings "franchise" was resurrected, now it is 2012 and the same unions supposedly have not understood what the inclusion of the South Eastern Cape means in terms of the existing licences SARU holds, that is nonsense!
nothing has been sprung on these unions, they have been part and parcel of every step of this process but clearly there are deep-seated entitlement issues here. it is everyone's wont to say the Kings must FIRST prove they're ready and jump through all sort of hoops before they are allowed to participate in Super Rugby but the current licence holders can get up to all sort of s(hit in the meantime and there is NO accountability on their parts – lions can lose all 13 of their games if they want and they can be a financial nightmare and it's all good.
the likes of De Klerk are panicking and speaking in tongues to save the gatte!
De Klerk emphasised the need for Saru to make a decision that would be in the interests of South African rugby in general.
"It (the inclusion of the Kings) has to be a rugby decision, not a political decision," De Klerk said.
"Perhaps a Super 16 series could be the solution, and we will continue hoping that another franchise could be accommodated.
"The restructuring of the existing franchises to include the southern and eastern Cape unions is another possible solution.
13 Feb 2012, 11:03 amTime to get rid of the whinging Yappies. It's like playing with a migraine.
13 Feb 2012, 11:12 amTransformation and Pissant. Great posts and the truth. The one thing Mark highlights with this article and is sooo true, is the Hoskins and Saru cannot make decisions. If John O'Neil was in charge here the unions would not be so lippy, they would understand that Saru is the mother body, and their participation in the Super comeptition is Saru's final decision. Some unions have been on a gravy train of Super rugby security for way too long, and didn't even care to perform in the competition, and ran up debts waiting to be bailed out, and still feel entitled. They need a wake up klap.
17 Feb 2012, 17:07 pmHi from Sydney, i am sorry to hear about this mess you guys have yourself in. However one thing is sure the strength and depth of rugby talent in your country will shine through regaurdless.
5 Mar 2012, 14:34 pm"R5 million to former coach **** Muir," – JEEEEEZ! 5 Million?!
What an awesome industry to work in – lose every single game and get paid 5 million!
I seriously hope D ick feels ashamed of his contribution to the Boks and the Lions
as a coach

| Which age group annoys you the MOST?Posted by toomanybrats
I do agree with the people who said you can find annoying people in any age group. I just look at it as what proportion of the people that age annoy me in a given day. That's why I picked toddlers as the most annoying group, because close to 100% of all toddlers I meet exhibit behavior that I find annoying: putting their grimy hands on things, asking pointless questions in a painfully high-pitched voice, whining, or shrieking at a painful pitch and volume. At 11, some kids can participate in an adult conversation and don't run around yelling but sit quietly, and I have no problem with these kids. However, they're really in the minority at that age. By the time that cohert is 20, a greater proportion will have reached these markers...but the majority still won't have, and in fact never will, even if they live to be 100. Most people annoy me.
My list is about the same as the beach bum's, although I'd like to add that my favorite group of kids would be the intelligent ones who haven't yet reached the know it all teen stage. They also haven't yet already formed very many prejudices simply due to their limited time on Earth and short exposure to societal expectations, in general. It's interesting to me to learn their views on things from the perspective of someone who has yet to experience life very much. Their views on things, in general, is fresh and not tainted, yet. I enjoy asking a 5 year old, for example, what he thinks about kids in his class getting free lunches, the school not keeping score at his age group ball games, and what he thinks about having to invite his entire class to his birthday party, like is required by public schools in my area. The ONLY problem with this though is there's generally an IDIOT moo lurking nearby who is SO FUCKING stupid and self absorbed she thinks I am asking the question(s) of her kid because I don't know the answer or have an opinion on it myself! Then, she proceeds to disrupt, interrupt, and steer the conversation towards HER unwanted opinion on the subject! This happens a great deal with my sister in law and every time she does it I could slap the stupid cow across her face. Example reenactment of a typical conversation: Me: So, Stevie, did you have to invite everybody in your class to your birthday party at the mall arcade last week? Stevie Yeah, they make you do that at my school and................................... Moo:(interrupting, in a fucking sing-sing voice, giving an answer for HIS benefit and to "educate" ME, you know, since I don't FUCKING already know the answer since I am childless and all!) They do that so no one's feelings get hurt and no one is left out! WE had fun though, didn't WE Stevie!? Me:(ignoring the cunt and redirecting the original question) SO, Stevie, like YOU were saying, what did you think about having to invite everybody, even the kids you didn't like? Stevie: I really hated inviting Mike because................ Moo(Interjecting AGAIN!) HE didn't mind inviting Mikey because it's mean to leave people out, RIGHT Stevie? Stevie:Yeah Mom, but.................................... Moo We KNOW it's the right thing to do, to include everybody, right? FFS I wish she'd STFU! I hate it when cows won't let their kids express their opinions under some misguided notion they are being a good moo for forcing their kids to conform to the herd! I suppose I detest MOOS of kids of most every age there is because, by and large, THEY are the reason most kids are assholes in the first place. Their mission is a self replicant and many of them get their wishes. SO, when I despise a particular kid it's usually because he's a reflection of his COW of a Moo and the age group mostly affected by the Cow is the 4-12 age category, making them THE most annoying as a result of MOO interference. ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much? I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!
I'll go along with this! And most people, in general, annoy me. I am fortunate enough to live in a high end yuppy / hipster type area - so at least the people here have half a brain. Stick me in hard core Suburbia (or Wal Mart) - and my head would explode. 99% of people suck IMO - at least 'back in the day' - they had manners to cover that up / deal with other people. Now, they let all their ignorance hang out. And are even PROUD to make ignorant children! The Honey Boo Boo Chile - as example. People suck, period. Most of them are just stupid animals. I try to avoid them or at the least - stick with my own kind. Call me a Snob? OK - I'm a snob.
lol! somene posted a pic of their babby the other day- this was one FAT babby! it seriously looked like a BLOB OF FAT with a HEAD stuck on top!
Depends on the person for me, really, moreso than age overall. Have 2 nephews; youngest at 8 is a delight--sweet, funny, helpful, easygoing, loves and is intensely curious about nature. His two-years-older brother is high-strung and could use a dose of manners, especially table manners. Some elderly (thinking of some folks in our local historical society) are treasures whom I love to run across and chat with; other elderly folk are bitter, warped, rigid, intolerant, bigoted, and think the world revolves around them. Case by case basis. Overall have the least patience for grubby toddlers pawing everything and getting in everyone's way. .......................................................................................................................................................... "we three found joy in the belly while filling out the police report..." --myrna minkoff
0 - 9 is the most annoying age-bracket for me. Loaves: because they are constantly screaming, shitting, puking, etc. Toadlers: because they are shrieky little germ vectors that destroy everything in their path. 4 - 9: Because by this time, they are supposed to have some semblance of socialization, yet most do not. I have met some decent teens, so I'm not quite ready to throw them all out with the bathwater. The rotten ones though? Only reinforce my CF lifestyle more than anything! They will never be MY problem....that's for sure. More than I hate all of these age groups? I hate goddamned breeder parents! They annoy me even more than their little miscreants do!
It's a hard choice for me too. All age groups annoy me for different reasons. Babies because they do nothing but shit and cry, toddlers and grade-schoolers because they throw tantrums and are mobile enough to get into lots of trouble. Pre-teens and teens because they go from all acting alike (as in everyone screaming for no reason like assholes) to developing personalities, most of them being shitty. Not to mention they're all practically surgically attached to their phones, they feel the need to share every second of their lives with the whole world via digital media. Also, the current generation of 20-somethings can be annoying. I mean these grown men and women who are fucking retarded in many respects because they have been ruined by micro-managing helicopter parents. The ones who still live at home at age 29 because they're too lazy to get a job. The ones who go into an interview and demand a huge salary along with having off weekends and holidays and not working 40 hours a week. The ones whose mommies have to hold their hands all through college. Now obviously, there will be exceptions to all age ranges. There are babies that don't scream constantly for hours on end (or better, are brain damaged and can't cry), there are grade-schoolers and toddlers who are raised by real parents who are bearable to be around. Once in a while, you may even find an actually intelligent teenager or a 22-year-old who realizes they must do actual work at their job and not get paid to play Farmville all day long. But these exceptions are the needles in the haystacks. But the ones that are MOST annoying are probably between the ages of infancy and 6, and from 12 and beyond. In my experience, grade schoolers seem to be the most bearable because they're beyond the "I'm gonna sob hysterically for no reason" sage, but not yet at the, "I hate you, you don't understand me, I'm an emo pussy, give me money and a phone" pre-teen/teenage stage.

Lately it's been the teens, because they are invading too many of my spaces and expect to be catered to. They either ruin it by being mouthy or try to adopt me as a mentor. They want to hang out with old people they see as cool, but I don't see them as cool. Many adults seem to like to be with these teens or at least tolerate them and it kind of creeps me out. They don't belong in meetups or forums that are set up by and for adults. I do NOT want to have to babysit a fourteen year old brat and will not be treated by one as if we are the same.
Okay, today I ESPECIALLY hate toddlers because as I was sitting on the bus today, something that should have been aborted grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked. HARD. I bitched out moo, but I actually looked her in the eyes only to find...the back of her skull. Thank fuck she got off at the next stop. I WISH I could slap both the kid and the mother. The bus has cameras, and it was "just a kid," and I could get picked up for assault, but god damn it I wanted to slap them both so much. ---------- michaela "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter." -Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal
I admit I find newborns sort of cute as long as I don't have to change, touch or smell them -- but anything past around 6 months to around 6 years is intolerable, with ambulatory toadlers definitely being the nadir. I cannot stand to even look at those smelly, unkempt, annoying little creatures.
I would say that while I don't dislike children from newborn to age 6, that group sets my teeth on edge more than any other. "Not fond of them" would be the term. They look the same, have high pitched voices that irritate me, act like destructive criminal wannabees, and show such limited intelligence that I won't bother trying to talk to them. They are also ready-mixed bodily secretion machines, oozing vomit, piss and dung at regular intervals, usually right in front of me. All guaranteed to just make my day! After that, it's on an individual person-to-person basis. By 6, they're showing individuality, trying to communicate using words and whole sentences, and are intelligent enough to want to be free from Moo. That just gets better as they get older. If they can't talk to me like an adult, then they at least have their noses buried in their iPhones or Gameboys and stay out of my way. Which is all I ask from anyone.
"have high pitched voices that irritate me," UGH, I CAN'T stand THOSE TERRIBLE VOICES THEY HAVE!! WHY WHY WHY must they be so MASSIVELY IRRITATING? It's as if one combined the stupid-sounding voice of a RETARD, plus the high pitched squeal of a 1950's housewife seeing a mouse in her kitchen! Are they designed this way so they will be LIKELY TO BE EATEN BY LARGE CARNIVORES??
That's it! Those fingernails-on-the-chalkboard voices are designed to attract the attention of sabertoothed tigers, so the mother can drop the kid as a decoy, and escape with the killed antelope so the whole tribe can eat!
and the Tiger can eat, too! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum. |

Baltimore Orioles 2010 Preview
by Clayton Fletcher on Feb.12, 2010, under Sports
This time last year, I predicted that the Orioles would not suck forever. They sucked last year, but that's not forever.
And they did not suck for all of last year, either. After finishing the first half only six games under .500, the 2009 Orioles began to suck hard after trading away their closer, best hitter, and several other pieces of an already incomplete puzzle. The second half of 2009 was really about calling exciting young prospects up to the big leagues to see what they could do. The growing pains were obvious and Baltimore finished 2009 with 98 losses.
I am going to go out on a limb and predict that the Orioles will not lose 98 games in 2010! This team is young, hungry, and talented. Every area in which the Orioles disappointed last year has been improved for 2010. I believe they have done enough to finally break the 12-year losing streak and turn the corner into respectability.
After enduring 12 consecutive losing seasons (The O's have not made the playoffs since going wire-to-wire in the AL East in 1997), fans have the right to be skeptical. But I feel there is much cause for optimism. Hey, it's February! My prediction? 87 wins! Same total as the "Why not?" season of 1989. Hey, as we said back then between bites of Jack's corned beef on Lombard Street, "Why not, hon?"
The Oriole starting pitching staff is greatly improved from last year. Kevin Millwood is a proven horse. Jeremy Guthrie is coming off a down year, but he put up good numbers in 2007 and 2008 and is looking to rebound. Brad Bergeson was looking like a Rookie of the Year candidate last year before a line drive to the shin ended his season in July. Chris Tillman and Brian Matusz have been on every scout's list of hot prospects for several years, and both gained big league experience in 2009. This young, intriguing staff could surprise the world right out of the gate!
The Orioles ranked fifth in the AL in batting average and doubles in 2009 but were below average in most other statistical offensive categories. This year, the improved offense could be a lot of fun to watch!
The Orioles' outfielders can match up with any team in the majors. Nick Markakis and Adam Jones are budding superstars, five tool players the likes of which the Orioles have not had in my lifetime (with apologies to Ken Singleton and Al Bumbry).
At catcher, Baltimore boasts last year's most talked about, and perhaps history's most overhyped, rookie in Matt Wieters. Wieters is a true stud at the position, with a great arm and sky's-the-limit offensive potential. He batted .362 with 14 RBI in September, and if he looks anything like that this Spring, you will see a lot of smiles in Sarasota.
Two more players to watch are new corner infielders Garrett Atkins and Miguel Tejada. Atkins returns to his natural position after yielding the post to Todd Helton in Colorado, while former Oriole (and former MVP) Tejada will make the transition to third base that so many other great shortstops (including Cal Ripken) have done around his age (36).
Up the middle, the Orioles have one of the best double-play combinations in baseball with Brian Roberts and Cesar Izturis. Both are terrific infielders who may not always make the Sportscenter highlights but who almost always make the play.
The bullpen is also improved, with new closer Mike Gonzalez. Gonzalez is one of the top lefty relievers in the game, and his addition allows setup man Jim Johnson to return to his proper role after inheriting closer duties from George Sherrill after he was traded to the Dodgers for Josh Bell. And do not forget Koji Uehara, the Japanese import who in 2009 was forced into a starting role and subsequently shut down due to injury. Uehara should thrive in the bullpen, as he is not built for the endurance required of MLB starters.
"Well, if the Orioles look so great, let's just bet the farm they win the World Series, Clayton!" Not so fast, hypothetical respondent! While the Orioles are greatly improved, they still have many question marks. A team this young may struggle with endurance, focus, personality, variance, emotion, and health. Additionally, the Oriole offense lacks a true cleanup hitter and is wanting for power throughout the lineup. Two corner infielders not playing the same position as last year raises a red flag as well.
And then there's that little detail of playing in the toughest division in sports, the AL East! I am convinced the Orioles could win the AL Central, but guess what? That's not where they play. If the Orioles do not improve their record within the division it is very hard to imagine them finishing over .500 in 2010.
I for one am truly excited about the product Peter Angelos and Company are putting onto the field this year. Much remains to be seen, but that is the fun of having a fresh, young, up and coming team like the 2010 Baltimore Orioles. I say let's party like it's 1989.
Why not?

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-3/4")
JasmineCastro ValleyHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAmazingawesome! this straightener is really good i have thick curly hair that usually doesn't straighten well but this makes it pin straight and is affordable :)posted Sep 10, 2010Link to this post
Marie P.MichiganHairAuburnCurly HairColor Treated HairAwesome ProductI have hair that is very naturally curly and very long. I love my curls, but want something different from time to time. I have never seen my hair straight before purchasing this product. Past attempts because any time in the past that I would try with other flat irons and my hair would just frizz. I even went to the hair salon and paid someone to try and straighten my hair with a flat iron, and left with awful, frizzy hair. This product is very easy to use, and works great on straightening my hair quickly. Now, my hair is beautifully straight with no frizz. I also recommend using a thermal protector. I love this flat iron and would highly recommend it to anyone.posted Sep 7, 2010Link to this post
SaraHairMedium BrownCurly HairGreat Buy!I read a lot of reviews about this product and am really glad that I decided to buy it. My old straightener took about 30 minutes to work, not to mention the fact that I also had to blow dry my hair straight beforehand, or else the results wouldn't be as good. I have really thick curly/wavy hair and now it only takes about 15-20 minutes - about half the time and I don't need to blow dry it first or even let it dry all the way. My hair feels very silky and healthy after and I don't worry about split ends as much as I did before.

VickySolia ReviewBoth my daughter and I have very thick hair with lots of body and waves. I have used a Chi in the past and was pleased with the results. Between the two of us, we have gone through 3 Chis in the past 5 years. My daughter headed off to college and I sent the Chi with her. After reading reviews on the Solia, I decided to give it a try. I have been pleased that I can get the same results from the Solia as I received from the Chi. The bonus of the Solia is that it is much less expensive than the Chi. Some of the reviews said it only took one time through on each swipe for the hair to be straight. That is untrue for me whether I am using the Solia or the Chi. For my hair to be perfectly straight - it takes a little over 30 minutes to straighten. However - it will last for several days with minor touch ups. After having the Solia for only 2 weeks, I am happy with the results.posted Sep 1, 2010Link to this post

There is no tugging on my hair or anything. Would absolutely recommend this hair straightener to anyone.posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post
MartiOhioHairDark BrownCurly HairFloating Plates Tear Your Hair Out!I would not recommend this flat iron to anyone! I had a CHI for years and never had any problems. Decided to try something new (since CHI went digital) and got the Solia. It heats up well, but the floating plates ripped a ton of my hair out (right where the plates meet the handle). For anyone with long hair, you know how hard we work to keep it up and beautiful. I cannot afford to lose hairs that have taken so many years to grow. Don't waste your money.posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post
EmilyHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing Results... Everything I Could Have Asked For And More!This is the most amazing flat iron I've EVER used!
I've been using this product for about a month now, and I will never buy another flat iron again... I'm set for life!
My previous straightener was a Conair and Solia COMPLETELY blows it out of the water. With the Conair, I would spend at least 45 minutes straightening my hair and it wouldn't even come out very straight. But with the Solia, it takes under 30 minutes and I get thin, smooth, soft, PERFECTLY straight hair. PLus, the straightness lasts until I wash my hair again!
This is an amazing product and you would be CRAZY if you didn't buy itposted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post -

NEW YORK — The Standard & Poor's 500 index closed above 1,500 on Friday for the first time since the start of the Great Recession in 2007, lifted by strong earnings from Procter & Gamble and Starbucks.
The S&P 500 rose 8.14 points to 1,502.96. It was the eighth straight gain, the longest winning streak since November 2004.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed at 13,895.98, up 70.65 points. The Nasdaq composite gained 19.33 points to 3,149.71.
Procter & Gamble, world's largest consumer products maker, gained $2.83 to $73.25 after reporting that its quarterly income more than doubled. P&G also raised its profit forecast for its full fiscal year. Starbucks rose $2.24 to $56.81 after reporting a 13 percent increase in profits.
"Earnings are growing," said Joe Tanious, a global market strategist at JPMorgan. "The bottom line is that corporate America is doing exceptionally well."
Tanious expects corporate earnings to grow at about 5 percent over the "next year or two," and stock valuations to rise. Currently, the S&P 500 is trading at an average price-to-earnings ratio of 14, below an average of 15.1 for the last decade, according to FactSet data.
Apple continued to decline, allowing Exxon Mobil to once again surpass the electronics giant as the world's most valuable publicly traded company. Apple fell 2.4 percent to $439.88, following a 12 percent drop on Thursday, the biggest one-day percentage drop for the company since 2008, after Apple forecast slower sales. The stock is now 37 percent below the record high of $702.10 it reached Sept. 19.
Apple first surpassed Exxon in market value in the summer of 2011, grabbing a title Exxon had held since 2005. The two traded places through that fall, until Apple surpassed Exxon in early 2012.
Stocks have surged this month, with the S&P 500 advancing 5.4 percent. It jumped at the start of the year when lawmakers reached a last-minute deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff." Stocks built on those gains on optimism that the housing market is recovering and the labor market is healing. The Dow Jones is up 6 percent on the year.
Deutsche Bank analysts raised their year-end target for the index to 1,600 from 1,575. Continued...
Companies will be able to maintain their earnings even if lawmakers in Washington decide to implement wide-ranging spending cuts to narrow the budget deficit, the analysts said in a note sent to clients late Thursday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which moves inversely to its price, climbed 11 basis points to 1.95 percent.
Among other stocks making big moves.
— Halliburton gained $1.91 to $39.72 after posting a loss that was smaller than analysts had expected. The oilfield services company said fourth-quarter profits declined 26 percent to $669 million on increasing pricing pressure in the North American market and one-time charges from the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Wall Street had expected worse.
—Hasbro fell $1.14 to $37.31 after the toy maker said its fourth-quarter revenue failed to meet expectations because of poor demand over the holidays. The company plans to cut about 10 percent of its workforce and consolidate facilities to cut expenses.
— Green Mountain Coffee Roasters rose $2.53 to $46.31 after an analyst noted that sales of a competing coffee brewer introduced by Starbucks were getting off to a weak start.

Of course, the nursery sleeping solution is always important, but you won't want to forget about other great nursery furniture pieces that will add comfort and convenience to both your life and baby's. Changing tables, glider rockers and rocking chairs are just a couple examples of some truly great and nearly indispensible nursery furniture.
If baby has outgrown their nursery, it's time to fix them up a kids' room complete with some great kids' furniture. Just like the nursery, the centerpiece of any child's bedroom is the bed. For your little one, you can opt to go with a low-to-the-ground toddler bed if you're child is just transitioning from the crib. Toddler beds help to ease the transition and the minds of parents as they are designed with your little toddler in mind. You can, of course, always choose to jump right into a twin size bed or a full size bed.
In addition, to all those great child bed options that you have, there are boatloads of other great furniture pieces that you can use to furnish your child's room or playroom. Bookcases, children's table and chair sets, mirrors, dressers, nightstands, step stools, lamps, study desks and of course, toy boxes are just a few of the other kids' furniture pieces that have wound up in many a child's room.
Just like the home, the classroom is also a place worthy of quality furniture. BabyHaven boasts some top quality preschool and elementary classroom furniture to help make the learning environment as productive and comfortable as possible. From classroom tables and chairs to classroom floor mats and easels, furniture for the classroom is just a few clicks away when you shop at BabyHaven.
No matter what room or area you are looking to furnish, make sure you take your time, select quality pieces and have some fun with it. Furniture doesn't have to be boring, and the more fun you make it, the more fun both you and your child will have with it. So go ahead, have some fun - - fun with furniture.

France fly-half Frederic Michalak is determined to rise to the challenge of facing England at Twickenham on Saturday.
Les Bleus have failed to live up to their billing as Six Nations favourites thus far - falling to a shock 23-18 defeat in Italy before succumbing 16-6 to Wales in Paris.
Toulon scrum-half Michalak has drawn criticism for a pair of lucklustre performances at stand-off but is adamant that the trip across the Channel to try and derail England's Grand Slam bid comes at the perfect time.
"We are going to play against one of the best teams in the world," said Michalak.
"We're going to play with our heart, defend our colours and I hope it will go our way. It would be the icing on the cake.
"It's always special to play against England. We will try to dig and find something we have not found yet.
"France v England, at Twickenham, it's the ideal place against the ideal rival. You can't dream of a better stage - 80,000 supporters with all the folklore that goes with it, the atmosphere... I cannot wait."
Under-fire France coach Philippe Saint-Andre added: "We will need to bring enthusiasm and confidence into the game.
"We will not beat England by doing nothing. Going to Twickenham is a fantastic challenge. I want to be proud of a team who will go there to give 120 per cent of what they have."

SleepAnalyser 2.1-5
Sleep Analyser records your movement during your sleep.
It is able to visualise it on a graph to show how much you move during your sleep. This can help to indicate how you sleep.
It also has an alarm function and other features like lucid dream and wakeUp music. You can set the alarm and a time window (ex. 30 minutes). The Alarm will then go off sometimes during the time window (as soon as you move more), but latest at the set alarm. This should help you to wake up while you are in the light sleep phase.
Old records can be loaded and visualised and the graphs can be exported as bitmaps.

an awesome ska band, that brighten up, even the dullest days with their amazing songs. less than jake fooking rawk
1. | less than jake | ||
An American ska-punk band with metal influences. Formed in 1992 in Gainesville, Florida, USA, they began as a 3 piece power pop band consisting of Chris on guitar and vocals, Vinnie on drums and future LTJ roadie Shaun on bass, who was soon replaced by current bass player Roger. Influenced by the British punk band Snuff, they introduced a horn section of Jessica (alto sax) and Buddy (trombone) and after releasing their first album, "Pezcore", Derron (baritone sax) joined the band. Jessica left in 1997, to be replaced by Pete (who left in 2001) and Derron was replaced by JR in 2000. Less Than Jake have been on over 100 releases and are one of the best bands in the modern punk scene, due to their insane live show, intelligent lyrics and constant touring. Less Than Jake are an awesome band!
3. | less than jake | ||
AWESOME BAND!!! My favorite band in the world!!!! They own everything wicked. Go buy their CDs!!!!! Other ska bands - mighty mighty bosstones, five iron frenzy, catch 22, some old rancid, reel big fish, sublime
4. | less than jake | ||
Possably the most generous ska band in the world. Doing benefit concerts and giving away free tickets are just a few of the things they do,and also they have the most killer Ska sound out there. Less Thank Jake is the most Awsome Ska band ever.
5. | less than jake | ||
THE fucking greatest and most kick-ass ska band ever to WALK THE EARTH! Less Than Jake could kick 500 other bands' asses with their arms and legs tied together and with rabid ferrets duct taped onto their faces.
6. | less than jake | ||
Less Jake is a (curently) five-piece melodic punk band out of Gainesville, Florida. Despite what most people think, they are not ska. They started off as a power-pop-punk trio with metal and punk influences, then the drummer, Vinnie started thinking, "Hey, some horns would be cool," after listening to The Specials. In their decade of writing incredible songs, they have undoubtably written some ska, but the majority is punk, albeit with horns.
The band has put out so many records it's not even funny, and is touring constantly, and they have been doing this for many years. They represent the punk mindstate, as they always do shit for their fans. Then after the release of Anthem, so many of their fans turned around and started calling them sellouts, just for signing to a major label (Warner Brothers/Sire). They said this, when in fact, the only thing that changed is now more people have access to their incredible music and terribly deep lyrics. I must admit, some trendhoppers peeking their way into Less Than Jake can get annoying, having to see them call "Look What Happened" "I Swear It's the Last Time", and seeing them just in general tarnish the loyalty Less Than Jake's fan body, it's bad, and it can hurt. The fact that they are on a big label doesn't make them sellouts. Anthem is my least favorite LTJ record, I admit, but overall quality is still uncompromised (She's Gonna Break Soon is a pretty shitty song though). Memberwise, Less Than Jake is currently Chris on gu... |

Legendary West Hollywood haunt, the Chateau Marmont Hotel, has banned actress Lindsay Lohan from the premises. Hotel management claims that Lohan owes $46,000 for room service, smokes, and mini-bar charges racked up during her June-July 2012 stay.
The news comes just days after news broke that the LAPD is investigating Lohan for the alleged theft of $100,000 of watches, sunglasses, and tableware (?) at the home of a millionaire pal.
Lohan is no stranger to the Marmont, having hunkered and huddled there through many-a scandal, essentially living at the Hotel for several stretches. This latest stay, though, was for an actual j-o-b. Lohan stayed at the Marmont while filming Liz & Dick, in which she plays the [kinda sorta mighta been] career-saving role of screen legend Elizabeth Taylor.We've said it a bajillion times: every step backwards from Lindsay Lohan makes us uncomfortable and sad. She behaves like an addict and like someone constantly begging for attention, to be saved from herself (or someone who simply hasn't flipped her Unbelievable Entitlement Switch to "Post-Herbie"). And as much fun as it is to snark, anyone this self-destructive is clearly ill and we'd all best be careful about piling on ill people.
But this is the Chateau Marmont, a swanky place that loves the attention it gets for bad behavior and–on rare occasions–banning people for it.
The hotel reportedly banned Britney Spears in 2007 for bizarre behavior and bad table manners. It banned blogger and Apprentice contestant Jenn Hoffman for tweeting not-so-niceties and celebrity beeswax(as in none of hers). But the Marmont is also the place that let Led Zeppeln ride motorcycles through the lobby and celebrates the darker moments that make it a secretive, storied landmark. John Belushi's fatal overdose. F. Scott Fitzgerald's heart attack. Jim Morrison's death-defying fall. A car crash that killed fashion photographer Helmut Newton.
And, yet, Lindsay Lohan's risky, clueless, self-indulgent behavior is a bridge too far for the Chateau Marmont. Gang, believe it or not, NOW it's time to worry.
Yes, the banning is partly a PR stunt. Yes, the hotel is a business that wants its money. But if Lindsay Lohan were on the comeback trail, the Marmont management would write off that $46,000 for continued paps shots of her splayed on a cabana. If Lindsay Lohan weren't so dangerously (publicly) off the rails, they'd put up with her hijinks for the cache. But I think the Chateau is joining the growing list of people and places who've seen it all yet aren't ready to see what Linday Lohan's all really is. Her disconnect from reality has been too public for too long for anyone to indulge her much longer. Especially if her final disconnect is on their property where they are holding a squirming, oozing bag of legal liability and bad publicity.
So as much as we'd like to think theft accusations, bar fights, or DUIs are the final warning bell for Lindsay Lohan, I think being banned from the epicenter of the self-destructive self-indulgent antics of the rich and famous might actually be the biggest warning of all. So, good for the Marmont for banning her, for whatever reason. But now's the time–we mean it, this time–for someone to intervene in a way harsher than kicking her out of a fancy swimming pool.

Advanced Musical Accompaniment Technology Ships Popular Hymnal to U.S. for Use in Congregational Singing
(PRWEB) January 03, 2013
Hymn Technology, a UK-based distributor of products for the worship music market, has begun shipping the newest version of its popular HT-300US to customers in the U.S. The HT-300US takes music accompaniment for worship to a higher level, by playing thousands of traditional hymns and modern worship songs, along with traditional music, for weddings and funerals. The standard tune list has was compiled and recorded specifically for the U.S., based on the most popular hymn books used today.
"The amazing benefit of the Hymnal Plus is that it can be upgraded at any time from our ever-growing list of repertoire additions," said company director Alan Kempster. "Plus, you can play any song or melody you choose, by using the built-in MIDI and MP3 players in the device."
A key design feature of the Hymnal Plus is its upgradeability; additional music can be purchased individually, or as an entire hymn book.
About Hymn Technology – Established in 1995, Hymn Technology Ltd. is a leading distributor of imported products into the UK worship music market. The company's founders were initially prompted to develop the Hymnal Plus after identifying an opportunity for a device that could provide churches with a large repertoire, great functionality and sound quality that was completely upgradeable, portable and easy to use. The company has essentially developed a unit that can accompany congregational singing in the absence of either musicians or instruments, adding a unique, high-quality musical experience.

Here's a brilliant notion: let college students pay back their college loans based on a percentage of their actual income. Lumni has figured out how to do this—while earning a profit for investors who make the loans—relieving students of the stress of making exorbitant loan payments after graduation and giving them some flexibility in how much they must earn.

Eleven Years in Newsprintin Comics by GuigarMonday, April 16, 2012 - 12:00 AMToday marks the first appearance of my daily comic in a major newspaper. On April 16, 2001, the Philadelphia Daily News began running Greystone Inn. My daily comic has run continuously in the paper (through the end of Greysyone Inn and the beginning of Evil Inc) since that day. Other newspapers have come and gone, but I'm proud to say that I have had at least one comic (and sometimes more than one) in the Daily News every day for over 11 years. posted Monday, April 16, 2012 - 09:56 AM (#61420)
Congratulations Brad! In the current climate of newspapers (as you know firsthand) that is quite the accomplishment! Is EVIL INC. in newsprint still a few years behind the current strips online? Do you get any feedback from print readers? Again, congrats! posted Monday, April 16, 2012 - 01:38 PM (#61421)
In Response to RichC (#61420):
Thanks, Rich! To answer your questions, the delay between Web and print has shrunk considerably since the early days of self-syndication. This is mostly because I've skipped certain weeks that I decided weren't necessarily a good fit for newspapers. I usually do get feedback on the version of the strip that runs in newspapers -- particularly when I exhibit at Wizard World Philadelphia. posted Monday, April 16, 2012 - 01:40 PM (#61422)

Oracle Supports MySQL and OpenOffice
Following the European Commission's OK to Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems, Oracle has now released a statement from their top management about MySQL and Solaris.
Oracle president Charles Phillips promised overall further support for a number of open source projects, among them Linux, Apache, GlassFish and MySQL. Edvard Screven, chief corporate architect, went a step further by asserting that the development, marketing and support for MySQL will continue. MySQL should become an independent Oracle division, with greater underlying support. It will also be part of the Oracle stack to be integrated in the Enterprise Manager.
OpenOffice should become an independent Global Business Unit, with development, support and marketing secure, said Screven. Even the community edition of OpenOffice.org will continue unchanged. Screven also ventured an additional Oracle Cloud Office, a Web-based suite that combines desktop, Web and mobile users. The success of OpenOffice depends on the commercial customer, he declared.
Continued development also applies to Solaris and Linux. All in all Oracle promises strengthened investment and employment. The presentations and webcasts are on Oracle's website.

Wonder how Hillary and Bill are paying for their new digs in the Hampton´s? Isn´t it expensive to keep up mansions in Chappaqua (sp) and Washington DC. What is so amazing is that when they left Arkansas they didn´t have a pot to do #1 in. Now look at them? Who knew that government paid so well?

Powerball Jackpot Increased to $500 Million Ahead of Wednesday Drawing
Maryland Lottery officials announced the increase Tuesday morning.
The jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing was already the largest in the game's history at $425 million but Tuesday morning, lottery officials announced that the prize pool had increased. Wednesday's drawing will now be for a $500 million jackpot with a $327 million cash option, according to an email from Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Erica Palmisano. The news comes after 15 straight Powerball drawings without a winner. There have been two jackpot winners in our state since Maryland started to participate in January 2010: in Dec. 2011 an anonymous Pennsylvania couple bought a $128 million jackpot winner in Elkton and in Sept. 2011, an anonymous couple bought a $108 million winning ticket in Abingdon, according to an email from …

Endogenous cortisol is associated with functional connectivity between the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex
Psychoneuroendocrinology, 05/25/2012
Veer IM et al. – The results corroborate previous findings from both animal and human studies, suggesting cortisol–mediated regulation of the amygdala by the medial prefrontal cortex. The authors propose that through this feedback mechanism the stress response might be adjusted, pointing to the putative role of cortisol in modulating stress– and, more generally, emotional responses.

3-story development on Detroit Street wins approval from Ann Arbor Historic District Commission
Ann Arbor News
The 400-square-foot gas station was constructed on the site, located at 544 Detroit St., in 1959. It has been vacant and deteriorating for more than 30 years.
Rendering by Marc Rueter
City of Ann Arbor
"The non-contributing gas station has been abandoned for over 30 years and is in poor condition," Jill Thacher, the city's historic preservation coordinator, wrote in a staff report. "It was built in 1959 and does not fall within the period of significance of the Old Fourth Ward Historic District."
Dan Williams of Maven Development wants to demolish the former gas station and construct a three-story, 4,000-square-foot building with office space and covered parking on the first-floor. There would be one condominium on the second floor and one on the third floor.
Each story would have steel balconies featuring metal work by a local artist.
"Though the proposed building is much larger than the existing non-contributing building, it is not detrimental to the district and features a design that is appropriate for the lot shape and size," Thacher continued in her report. "The modern materials proposed are complementary to the historic materials used on other buildings (in the district)."
Williams is under contract to purchase the property from Jack Epstein, a former Ann Arbor resident who now lives in Maryland. The property was listed for sale with Doug Smith of Swisher Commercial for $149,000. Its assessed value is $50,700 for the 2012 tax year.
The architect for the project is Marc Rueter of Ann Arbor-based Rueter Associates Architects.
The Historic District Commission approved the project in a unanimous vote. Plans will now go before Ann Arbor's Planning Commission and City Council for approval.
