Hamels off his game in home debut vs. Mets
PHILADELPHIA -- It rained hard at times, if not constantly, Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The wind blew even harder with the first-pitch temperature a chilling 46 degrees.
Cole Hamels had to wait 1 hour, 28 minutes to throw that first pitch because of a rain delay. His night only got worse from there in a 6-1 loss to the Mets.View Full Game Coverage
PHILADELPHIA -- It rained hard at times, if not constantly, Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The wind blew even harder with the first-pitch temperature a chilling 46 degrees.
Cole Hamels had to wait 1 hour, 28 minutes to throw that first pitch because of a rain delay. His night only got worse from there in a 6-1 loss to the Mets.View Full Game Coverage
"From my standpoint, I'm truly embarrassed," he said.
He suffered his worst start in nearly three years, allowing eight hits, six runs, five walks, one hit batter and striking out three in 4 2/3 innings against a team that seems to have his number. He is 7-14 with a 4.65 ERA in his career against the Mets. The 14 losses are his most against any team. The ERA is his highest against any current National League team.
"It's an embarrassment because I'm not allowing my teammates to get into the game when you're walking that many guys and allowing the runs to score, you don't give your team a chance to win in that case," Hamels said. "The fans that even stayed today, it's pretty embarrassing because the type of game that I pitched, it's not the type of game I'd like to credit myself on."
The Mets only had a 1-0 lead entering the fourth inning when the bottom dropped on Hamels.
Actually, he said his problems started earlier.
"I was starting to miss locations and not being able to grip any of my pitches, not even my fastball," he said. "And that's the thing we focus so much on in Spring Training and during the season. To being able to grip a four-seam fastball, that's what we work on and I wasn't able to do it -- let alone trying to move to another pitch that I could get away with. I wasn't able to throw any of them."
It showed.
Hamels retired David Wright to start the fourth, but walked Chris Young and Curtis Granderson in succession to put runners on first and second with one out.
He allowed a single to Josh Satin to score Young to make it 2-0.
Hamels then walked Ruben Tejada to load the bases and walked Jonathon Niese to scored Granderson to make it 3-0.
It was the first time in Hamels' career he had walked four batters in one inning. It was the fifth time in his career he had walked a batter with the bases loaded.
It was the first time he had walked a pitcher with the bases loaded.
Hamels threw 37 pitches in the fourth inning.
Just 15 were strikes.
"I've never seen Cole that erratic, and I'm sure a lot of it was the conditions, and it being early in the year because he missed so much Spring Training," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "But he'll be fine, I'm sure."
Marlon Byrd's homer to left in the bottom of the fourth made it just 3-1. It would be Niese's only run allowed in seven innings.
Hamels, who is 1-5 with an 8.33 ERA in his last six starts against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park, continued to struggle with his command in the fifth, allowing three more runs. The final three batters he faced he hit with a pitch, walked and allowed a single to Tejada to score two runs.
"It felt like a cue ball," Hamels said of the baseball. "Today might have been the day to use pine tar. Unfortunately, I don't do that. That might have been the day to learn. It was difficult to grip the baseball and being able to throw strikes and I wasn't able to do that. ... But at the same time, you have to go and compete. I mean Niese was able to deal with it and he was able to get through it just fine. A lot of credit goes to him to be able to do that. You know, just the embarrassment on my side not being able to compete."
It was Hamels' worst start since July 16, 2011, when he allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Mets at Citi Field.
"Sometimes you have to battle the elements," Hamels said. "The elements definitely got the best of me today."

IT Management Slideshow: 10 Worst Tech Missteps of 2011
BlackBerry Service Outage
A service outage affected users of RIM's BlackBerry devices around the globe. Initially, the company provided little information on the outage, annoying users. Although it quickly started providing more information to users, it still took days to restore service in some regions.
It's nice to look back at 2011 and see all the great accomplishments in the world of technology. From honoring Steve Jobs following his death to delivering some of the finest products the industry has ever seen, the technology sector was filled with stories that should inspire companies to pursue innovations in the years ahead. But, there was another side to the tech industry this year. In far too many cases, some of the most prominent firms in the business engaged in activities that hurt consumers, wreaked havoc on the industry, and ultimately made them look bad. Even the most prominent companies, including Apple and Google, were unable to protect themselves from the slings and arrows of critics. Here's a look at the 10 worst technology mishaps in 2011.

JLO and Marc Anthony are feuding and this time it is not about boy toy Casper Smart.
Puerto Rican daily El Nuevo Dia is reporting that the former couple is arguing over who gets to keep the kids over the Christmas holiday.
Since announcing their split a year ago, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have been able to keep a cordial relationship. They share custody of their 4-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
US Weekly magazine says that neither Lopez nor Marc Anthony want to be without the kids on Christmas.
"JLO really wants to be with the kids on this date in particular and she won't let Marc take them far from her," a source told the publication.
The magazine adds that JLO suggested that Marc Anthony spend the Christmas holiday with her and the kids, under the condition that he does not bring along his girlfriend, Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima.
"She is not flexible," said another source. "She wants that kids with her on Christmas but Marc really wants to have all of his children together that day."
Recently both Lopez and Marc Anthony were in the news.
JLO was forced to tone down her sensual "Dance Again" tour in order to perform in Indonesia and Malaysia since the government told the singer that "making love" moves were not acceptable.
Meanwhile, Marc Anthony was spotted with De Lima on Miami Beach tanning and getting some R and R before heading to the Dominican Republic, where he opened an orphanage. He also went down to the country to perform his "Gigantes" tour along with singers Marco Antonio Solis and Chayanne.

Like everyone who took Harriet Perl for English or American literature at Hamilton High School in West Los Angeles, I never forgot her. She was a gifted teacher who gave the job great stature. What came back most vividly when I thought of her was her smile—radiant and affirming—and my joy in getting an A on a book report.

Burger, Warren Earl
Burger, Warren Earl, 1907–95, American jurist, 15th chief justice of the United States (1969–86), b. St. Paul, Minn. After receiving his law degree in 1931 from St. Paul College of Law (now Mitchell College of Law), he was admitted to the Minnesota bar and taught and practiced law in St. Paul. He was (1953–56) assistant attorney general in charge of the civil division of the Department of Justice before becoming judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Appointed to head the Supreme Court by President Nixon , and perceived as a conservative and an advocate of judicial restraint, Burger was less forceful than had been expected in limiting or reversing the liberal decisions of the court headed by his predecessor Earl Warren . He was a consistent advocate for administrative reform in the court system.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Poultry Processing Company Fired Employee for Complaining About National Origin Discrimination, Federal Agency Charges
RALEIGH, N.C. - Mountaire Farms, Inc., doing business as Mountaire Farms of North Carolina Corp., unlawfully fired an employee in retaliation for his complaining about national origin discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleged in a lawsuit filed today. Mountaire Farms is a Delaware-based agricultural food processing company that operates a poultry processing facility in Lumber Bridge, N.C.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Frantz Morette began working as a translator for a group of Haitian workers at Mountaire Farms' Lumber Bridge facility in December 2010. From early in his employment with the company, Morette complained to his supervisors and the human resources department that the Haitian workers were being treated poorly by Mountaire Farms' supervisors as compared to their non-Haitian coworkers. Morette told company management that supervisors often refused to allow the Haitian workers to take bathroom breaks while allowing non-Haitian workers to do so and refused to provide the Haitian workers with the training necessary for the higher-paying jobs at the facility. Morette also said that the Haitian workers were often harassed by their non-Haitian supervisors and coworkers by having chickens and chicken parts thrown at them.
Sometime around Sept. 1, 2011, Morette notified one of the company's managers that a supervisor was refusing to allow a Haitian worker to take a restroom break while allowing other non-Haitian workers to do so. A few days later, Morette was fired, the EEOC said, in retaliation for his complaints.
Retaliation for complaining about employment discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Southern Division (EEOC v. Mountaire Farms, Inc. d/b/a Mountaire Farms of North Carolina Corp., Civil Action No. 7:13-cv-00182) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief.
"Employees should be confident that they can make their employers aware of violations of federal anti-discrimination laws without fear of reprisal," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "The anti-retaliation provisions of Title VII are essential to the attainment of a workplace free of discrimination."
Eliminating policies and practices that discourage or prohibit individuals from exercising their rights under employment discrimination statutes, or that impede the EEOC's investigative or enforcement efforts, is one of six national priorities identified by the EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

An Adventure in Space and Time (UK - DVD R2)
The Wilson Bros take an Adventure in Space and Time. Yes, really.
2013, for those who have managed to have their heads firmly planted in the sand for the last few months, is the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. There have been more sci-fi television series/franchises that have spawned more episodes or have been financially more successful, but none have had the consistent longevity and the determination to succeed in the face of adversity than the show that began with a mystery about a young girl and her mysterious grandfather who seemingly lived in a junk-yard.
The year is 1963 and the BBC is looking for a new television series to play in a Saturday teatime slow. Four people, all searching for something would come together and their talents would begin something that none of them could have possible forseen the endurance what they worked on. Head of drama, Sydney Newman wants a science-fiction show that will plug into the educational remit of the BBC; Verity Lambert is an ambitious young woman determined to succeed in an environment where women have had concussion by repeatedly trying to break through the glass ceiling; Waris Hussain is a young Indian-born director who wants to make his mark in a country that was predominantly white and William Hartnell was an ageing actor who was sick to the back teeth of only being offered stern authority figure roles.
There are some Doctor Who fans that have managed to turn their lifelong love of the series into an adult vocation, with Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat being the prime examples; Mark Gatiss' professional relationship with Doctor Who began with a series of novels in the New Adventures line from Virgin and eventually he began to write for New-Who (including The Unquiet Dead, which was one of the very best and Victory of the Daleks, which wasn't). Gatiss' passion for the series led to him penning a show that would celebrate the beginning of the fifty year journey that Doctor Who has been on – An Adventure in Space and Time.
Gatiss stated that Doctor Who is unique in television history in that the level of passion for the show and the history of it is such that it is so well documented (if you have ever checked out the Production Subtitles on a Doctor Who DVD, you'll know exactly the kind of minutiae that has been recorded for posterity); when Gatiss was doing his research for this drama, he interviewed a number of surviving members of the cast and crew and was able to find out very little information that hadn't already been divulged. With so much information on record and the story of the birth of Doctor Who being so well-known to fans, it should have been a relatively easy task to create a screenplay by collating the info and patching it together. Mr Gatiss had the problem of trying to balance his infatuation with Doctor Who and the demand to create a solid piece of drama that would be of interest to the casual viewer. Some will probably say that there are too many throwaway references to satiate the fanboys (not to mention the fanboy within Gatiss himself), but there is still plenty for fans of drama to sink their teeth into, as many Doctor Who references and in-jokes would go sailing straight past them.
Let's face it, if there was anyone born to play the role of William Hartnell, (other than Hartnell himself, of course) it was David Bradley. The physical resemblance is nothing short of remarkable and Bradley had done his homework with the mannerisms not only of Hartnell himself, but also those of Hartnell playing The Doctor (complete with his trademark stroking of his lapels to establish authority). Bradley reportedly studied the recently discovered interview footage of Hartnell that was included on the DVD release of The Tenth Planet, capturing his frosty, almost aloof manner perfectly. The only criticism we have is that he doesn't have the same timbre as Hartnell and when he recites the famous leaving speech from The Dalek Invasion of Earth, it pales in comparison to Hartnell's original, which is rightfully heard at the very end.
The role of Verity Lambert is taken on by Jessica Raine, who appeared in the Matt Smith Doctor Who story, Hide, and although she was nearly a decade older than Lambert was when she was brought on-board Doctor Who, Raine more than does justice to her. Bearing a striking resemblance to the late producer, Raine exudes the authoritative demeanour for which she was famous and also manages to display her lighter side, which was more than apparent to those who knew her personally.
Brian Cox has plenty of the sort of self-confident bluster that Sydney Newman was famous for, presenting Newman as a barnstorming ideas-man who is more than happy to let others share the load and the credit for shows he had a hand in creating. Cox dusts off his Col Stryker accent and calls it Canadian, but it fits the real-life tone and excitable delivery of Newman himself. Cox turns in a very warm performance as Newman, giving him the right blend of authority and likeability which is at the core of every successful producer. If we had one gripe, it's that he didn't swear as much as the real Sydney Newman, who - by his own admission, and documented on film - really did let the expletives fly.
Tackling the role of Doctor Who's first director, Waris Hussain is Sacha Dharwan, who does a good job of mixing the sense of optimism and despair at being at Oxbridge graduate who had aspirations of directing grand theatrical productions saddled with doing a children's show featuring men in animal skins and undercrackers from (to misquote Carry On Cleo) Markus et Spencious.
One area where there is lacking is that of a cohesive, singular protagonist, and whilst this might be the way to describe it in action-movie terms, it all boils down to having the story of Doctor Who told though at least three different leads. Throughout literary and cinematic history, it has been possible to have multiple characters all taking the story in the same direction without and harm to the tale itself, just take a look at the Lord of the Rings for a triumph in both mediums, but the problem here is thus: most of the advertising and Sunday supplement stuff had it described along the lines of: "…a young woman struggling to make a career for herself and break through the glass-ceiling of a male-dominated business". It set viewers up that Lambert was to be the primary focus of the drama, but just after an hour, she is out of the picture with Bill Hartnell and his declining health taking over. Such a shift in focus is fine in pure fiction, where you can shake things up by turning on a dime like that, but when you invest so much time in the struggles of a singular character, then to send them on their way and put another under the spotlight is jarring, regardless of how good the altered trajectory. It could be argued that this is the fault in marketing and advertising, rather than of the show itself.
Gatiss takes the four story strands and gives wisely gives priority to the Hartnell and Lambert ones and has the Hussain and Newman play second fiddle to them. Gatiss emphasises the different kind of relationships that develop between the four primary characters in this story. A master and protégée bond is forged between Lambert and Newman; a young-and-ambitious kindred spirit exists between Lambert and Hussain; a bond also develops between the ageing and increasingly unwell character actor Hartnell and the reassuring stability of Lambert.
Certainly, there are aspects of Hartnell's personality that are addressed here, particularly his arteriosclerosis that caused him to forget his lines. The racist side to Hartnell's personality is addressed in passing when Waris Hussain moves on , with the young director mentioning A Passage To India, "one way, I hope" replies Hartnell half-jokingly. The remarkable, fascinating and tragic life of Hartnell himself is deserving of a bio-pic all of it's own, but the story being told here is that of the birth of Doctor Who.
The production design is faultless; not only has the look and set designs of the Hartnell era of Doctor Who been reproduced down to the most minute detail, but everything about every other aspect to live in the early-to-mid sixties is absolutely authentic. The look of the little cottage that William and Heather Hartnell have seems to match the detailed description in Jessica Carney's biography, complete with the little nick-knacks over the fireplace.
Mark Gatiss' old League of Gentleman co-conspirator Reece Shearsmith is on-hand to play Hartnell's televisual successor, Patrick Troughton during the filming of the regeneration scene. Sheersmith really doesn't make for a convincing Cosmic Hobo, but this is only a short scene and won't spoil the enjoyment of the hardened Who fan. The appearance of a certain incumbent Doctor at the end of the story seems to divide opinion amongst fans, with some finding it a fitting way of showing that what Hartnell began has endured and others thinking that it is intrusive and robbing Hartnell of a poignant ending. This even seemed to divide opinion amongst your humble reviewers, with one of us shouting a certain vulgar four-lettered-by-three-lettered phrase at the screen.
Mr Gatiss' phantasmagorical time-travelling odyssey was shot in high definition (there is no Blu-ray release), but we are reviewing a standard definition copy; in short, it looks pretty good with strong colours (which have presumably been tweaked and graded in post-production to make it look more like the sixties) and some nice levels of detail. There is a degree of grain to the image, but this is likely to have been the result of a stylistic decision, rather than a by-product of production. In short, it looks pretty good, certainly better than the original SD broadcast.
There is a very nice Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, which presents all manner of spot-effects from all speakers; cars whiz from font-to-back and ambience is infused into scenes to add a layer of depth that would have been missing from listening to it in 2.0.
William Hartnell - The Original: This went out after the film was broadcast, and is a wonderful companion-piece as well as a loving look at the man who initiated one of the most iconic characters of British TV. Many of those making cameos in An Adventure in Space and Time are to be found here, as well as Peter Purves, his omission from the show is still a complete mystery to us! Peter Davison and Matt Smith discuss their predecessor, and Terence Dicks recalls the problems that Hartnell's deteriorating health had on the filming of The Three Doctors, and whilst we all know such hiccups intimately, it's great that those watching the show as a piece of straight drama can have their knowledge of Hartnell explored in further depth as an almost humbling coda. It's all topped off by the lovely Jessica Carney fondly remembering her grandfather, and we can't recommend this wonderfully polished package highly enough.
The Making of an Adventure: Hosted by Carole Ann Ford, this is a wonderful, intimate look at putting together a love-letter the only UK TV serial to still be running 50 years later. Like the previous featurette, it includes contributions from just about all involved with the show, providing a background to the original programme as well as looking at just how lovingly they set about recreating all things Doctor Who. All this and a decent biopic all thrown into the mix? If you have ever wondered just how the hell they pulled this one off, ponder no more…
Through the magic of B-roll and other behind-the-scenes footage, you can really see the effort the designers and craftsmen put in to make everything just as it was, whilst giving us all an invaluable look at what such familiar sets look like when released from their monochromatic prisons. To that end, writer/exec-producer Gatiss clearly had the best time making the thing, and with the biggest Doctor Who toy set at his fingertips, why wouldn't he? Just take a look at him unbridled glee when recreating an iconic sequence from The Dalek Invasion of Earth! Speaking of such joy, take a look at Bradley and Gatiss having a ball whilst doing an impromptu rendering of The Army Game, with the elder performer dressed appropriately. This is classed as the taping of additional dialogue, but it was probably the most fun to be had with dubbing since the American TV version of Robocop.
Ford tells of her visit to the Web Planet set being an emotional one, and describes the sight of David Bradley as Hartnell struggling to remember his lines as "hard to watch". As if show the contrasting mental states of the two actors playing the Doctor, Bradley goes on record as saying that "…it's been one of those great jobs, and an experience I'll always remember". We all know that actors talk a lot of shit - of course they do: being the most convincing bullshitter gets them a gold statue - but here Bradley's warm feelings towards the project seems completely genuine.
The march of time is perfectly illustrated here, and in numerous ways. Deeply fascinating is Brian Cox revealing that he once met Sydney Newman when he was working for the BBC in the sixties, describing that he was "colourful" in a literal sense as well as a grammatical one. Providing sharp contrast is how Jessica Raine relied on YouTube for her research into the role of Verity Lambert, showing how the older generations used experience in whatever they bring to the table, whereas the younger merely Google-it to know the price of everything. OK, this obviously wasn't the extent of her preparation for the role, but any chance to take a pop at the kids today. Oh, and get off that lawn, while you're at it!
One of the crowning moments is Gatiss shamefully abusing his privilege and giving the world a reconstruction of the Troughton-to- Pertwee regeneration, with the man himself playing the Bouffant'd One. That this also features elsewhere on the disc does take away from it a little, but it's still a really cool moment, and a pity that Gatiss couldn't have been given a little more screen-time as Pertwee, where he might have been able to demonstrate how good he is by having a go at anyone behind the camera whilst falling over himself to be gregarious to fellow actors.
Things close out with the interviewees all wishing Doctor Who a happy anniversary, with varying degrees of sincerity and lip-service employed, and of them all, the one with the most heart comes from the man at the helm of An Unearthly Child, Warris Hussein, who encapsulates his feelings on the landmark birthday with quiet understatement. "I feel more like a dad than a director about this," he notes for posterity, "…because I was at the birth of this show, and it makes me very proud." That man is a class act, guys.
That this is great seen either before or after watching An Adventure in Time and Space demonstrates that it's a well put together look at the show, enough to whet the appetite or satiate the hunger for a look at how it all came about, and it's usually a tough combination to pull off. It really is good stuff, and they didn't have to put this on here, as the plaudits given to the programme would have sold it by itself, but the 50th birthday cake now comes with a rich topping, deep in flavour and complex in texture. Excellent - as a proper Cyberman would say.
Reconstructions: There are three of these suckers to be found here, and are essentially the unedited versions of the footage seen of the show, with the tops and tails intact. They are: "Scenes from An Unearthly Child and the Pilot", "Regenerations", "Farewell to Susan" and "Festive Greeting". The first one is obviously just a straight recon, presented in black and white for authenticity, the second has the transition from Hartnell to Troughton, before going into bizarre territory by proceeding to change into Pertwee! The third clip is colour, but best of all is the last piece, where the infamous Christmas greeting from Bill Hartnell at the end of The Feast of Steven is recreated, presumably through Gatiss not being able to resist getting David Bradley to do it whilst they had him in costume. Three takes are there to be enjoyed, with Bradley playing for laughs on the final one. It's pretty good stuff.
Title Sequences: The unmolested title cards from both An Unearthly Child and An Adventure in Time and Space are presented for your viewing pleasure. OK, we've seen them before, but nice to have them together for reference.
Deleted Scenes: There are two nuggets to be found here, and they are one inside the Radiophonic Workshop as Celia Derbyshire demos the theme, and a brief piece set at Lambert's leaving party, where - wait for it - a Monoid asks her for directions to the bog! We've always had a rather soft spot for the cycloptic mop-tops, so to find out that they shit like everyone else is just wonderful!
In this golden anniversary year, Mark Gatiss' An Adventure in Space and Time is – for us – the stand-out piece of Doctor Who programming; it is informative, affectionate and wonderfully entertaining. David Bradley brings William Hartnell back to life in a manner that far exceeds caricature, as he embodies the man and his performance helps to understand a little better a man who was certainly very complex and haunted by past, present and future. Bradley's performance is supported admirably by the rest of the cast and the result is something magical. Watch and wrap yourself up in a warm blanket of nostalgia.

Very disappointed no Blu-ray is being released in the UK as it was shot in hidef and I hear it's not being released at all in the USA.

Yeah, that really IS a bummer; maybe the Beeb didn't think that there would be enough interest in releasing a hi-def version of it, but this certainly ISN'T the case, as a lot of people would like to have it on Blu.

I can't wait for this one to make it's way to Blu-ray and hope for a release in the US soon. I enjoyed this one (I hope for a docudrama sequel). I was disappointed by the amount of extras they failed to include on the other release (The Day of The Doctor- the deleted scene, the 3D cinema into, other bts stuff available online).

Just as I was thinking of what compliments I could rain on you both for such an enjoyable review I get to this line; "We all know that actors talk a lot of s**t - of course they do: being the most convincing bulls**tter gets them a gold statue".

Dennis Schuman pointed methodically around the gutted barn. This would be a stall for the lambs, he said, and this would be for the goats, and two would be for the chickens.
The adjacent, dilapidated milk parlor would be a kennel for dogs. A smaller kennel would house cats. Another barn, just 30 feet away, will be remodeled for horses.
"What we're going to do is make it into a sanctuary and rescue for pets," Schuman said.

It's no secret that budget cuts will be coming in the near future. For example, the U.S. Army is considering a potential 25% drawdown of its general purpose brigade combat teams. The Army will almost certainly reduce its end strength as well, most likely by tens of thousands of trained soldiers. In response to shrinking budgets and the winding down of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, there will also be a diminished need for intelligence analysts. Meanwhile, U.S. Special Operations Forces have no shortage of meaningful missions, realistic training, and resources.

LITTLE ROCK More than $2.6 billion in tax-exempt municipal bonds were issued in Arkansas last year, the most since the turn of the century.
The total was 74 percent higher than in 2011 and higher than the $2.42 billion issued in 2010, the previous high since 2000, according to Thomson Reuters.
About $322 billion in municipal bonds were issued nationally last year, up 35 percent from $239 billion in 2010, according to Thomson Reuters.
Little Rock-based Stephens Inc. led bond-selling firms in Arkansas with sales of more than $776 million, the firm's best-ever year for bonds, said Mark McBryde, manager of public finance at Stephens.
Crews & Associates of Little Rock was second, with $589 million in bonds sold in the state, followed by Raymond James Morgan Keegan of St. Petersburg, Fla., at about $415 million.
While new issues had a big impact, a primary reason for the unanticipated leap in bonds was a rush to refinance, said Edmond Hurst, senior managing director at Crews. Interest rates on 20-year municipal bonds fell to 3.27 percent last year, Hurst said, as low as they have been in years.
Refinancing bonds is a lot like refinancing a home mortgage, McBryde said.
"When an issuer sells bonds, they normally sell them at a fixed rate of interest," McBryde said. "Issues that were sold [six or seven] years ago at 4 to 5 percent [interest rates], we thought at the time that they'd probably never be refunded."
But last year, many of them were, McBryde said.
Municipal bonds are se- cured by the tax revenue of a city, county, state or other government entity, or revenue from a nonprofit organization or other qualified borrower. Arkansas municipal bonds are attractive to investors because they typically are exempt from federal-income tax and from state-income tax when bought by an Arkansan. In contrast, corporate bonds are taxable.
Arkansas tax-exempt bonds are attractive even to investors outside the state because of the financial condition of Arkansas cities and counties, McBryde said.
"The state of Arkansas has to balance its budget," Mc-Bryde said. "Municipalities, counties, utilities and hospitals in the state are financially solvent. They pay their bills. Investors in Arkansas understand that and that [confidence] is part of the reason our securities trade at such low rates."
Analysts had expected 2012 to be a slow year for bonds. McBryde and Hurst said a year ago that they anticipated 2012 to be more like 2011, when bond issues were low.
But Hurst said he expects 2013 to be a very good year. Most refinancing of bonds has been done, but there will be some significant new issues, Hurst said.
"You'll see some of the issuance of the $1.3 billion in highway bonds. North Little Rock schools have gotten approval for about $270 million and Little Rock voters approved over $100 million" in bonds, Hurst said.
McBryde said he doesn't expect the first quarter this year to be as active in bond business as it was the same time last year.
"But this still should be a good year," he said.

South Dakota abortion providers are now required to recite a script telling patients that the procedure will "terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being." They must then warn the woman of a supposed increased risk of suicide.
The law additionally requires that doctors tell a woman seeking an abortion that there is "an existing relationship" with the fetus that "enjoys protection under the United States Constitution" and that, by having an abortion, "her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated," reports to the Washington Post.
The law came into effect last Friday, after a 2005 court order that prevented the enforcement of the law expired. It will affect the Sioux Falls Planned Parenthood, the only recognized abortion provider in the state.
"We have always believed and worked hard to ensure that every woman has the best, medically accurate information so that she can make the right decision for her unique circumstances," said South Dakota Planned Parenthood President, Sarah Stoesz in a company statement. "This law is not about informed consent, it's about compelling doctors to deliver state mandated ideology."
South Dakota will also face a ballot measure this November. The referendum would ban all abortions with exceptions for rape, incest and a threat to a woman's life, according the Associated Press. The measure is similar to a ballot measure rejected by South Dakota voters in 2006.

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 31 October 2012—Jeff Young, Software Architect, OCLC Research, has been honored as Kent State University's Library and Information Science Alumnus of the Year.
Mr. Young received the award during the Kent State University School of Library and Information Science Alumni and Friends Honors and Awards Program held October 23 at OCLC in Dublin, Ohio. He was selected for his significant accomplishments using Linked Data to increase the presence and discoverability of library data and materials on the Web.
"Jeff has played a major role in many important Web services, protocols, and innovations that have impacted all library services in the digital age," said Don Wicks, Interim Director, School of Library and Information Science, Kent State University, in his introduction.
Mr. Young was the Team Leader for projects such as Bookmarklets, which is used in WorldCat Local; PURL (Persistent URLs), a naming and resolution service for general Internet resources; WorldCat Registry, a Web-based directory for libraries and library consortia, to name just a few. Most recently he has been recognized for his work in projects related to Linked Data, for example in the Virtual International Authority File service that virtually combines many library authority files from many nations into a single name authority service; in WorldCat Linked Data; and in the W3C Linked Library Data Incubator Group reports.
"Your libraries and the Web are better able to meet your information needs today because of the work of people like Jeff Young," Dr. Wicks told the group of mostly library professionals.
Mr. Young earned his Master of Library Science degree from Kent State's School of Library and Information Science in 2002.

Weekend 2 of Hakkasan Las Vegas' grand-opening celebrations kicked into superstar status, with Jennifer Lopez + Casper Smart, Vanessa Hudgens + Austin Bradley, Paris Hilton + River Viiperi, Mark Salling, Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Miguel, Deadmau5 and many more among the glitterati. Plus, Pharrell Williams celebrated his 40th birthday at Saturday night's celebration co-hosted by GQ Magazine.
On Thursday night, Hakkasan commenced its four-day weekend with Steve Aoki as he debuted the first of his exclusive "Neon Future" parties to thousands of partygoers. Just after 1 a.m., clubgoers began cheering "Aoki, Aoki, Aoki!," and right before 1:30 a.m., the DJ and producer appeared in the DJ booth in a Native American headdress.
"What's up, Las Vegas, make some noise for Hakkasan!" Aoki shouted as he began his set. A two-level LED screen projected visuals that transported guests into a future envisioned by Aoki. The California native's set included "Livin' My Love" and "I'm in the House," spraying fans with champagne and selecting fans to crowd surf on an inflatable mattress.
"This is the grand opening of Hakkasan, and I have been waiting for this day to party with all you crazy people!" Aoki shouted before posing with revelers in the main room on the fourth floor. Angel Management Group CEO Neil Moffitt presented Aoki with a framed gold disc before his set. DJ Jessica Who led the party in the Ling Ling Club.
Earlier in the evening, Hakkasan co-hosted a blue carpet affair with Vegas Magazine and welcomed Nate Morris and Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men), Donny Osmond, Brad Garrett, Jabbawockeez, Jaymes Vaughn and James Davis of Chippendales and more. The VIP event welcomed guests to a preview of Hakkasan Restaurant during a private cocktail reception before continuing the party to the main floor.
On Friday night, it was the return of Deadmau5 and his exclusive "Unhooked" parties; he took his place behind the turntables about 1 a.m. and led the party until 5 a.m. Girlfriend Kat Von D wasn't spotted, but she was here the previous preview weekend.
In Ling Ling Club, the spotlight was Rev Run and Ruckus, and of course "It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" were among the crowd favorites. The duo kept their fans on their feet as they sang and danced along.
Around 2 a.m., Grammy Award winner Miguel arrived and performed a surprise set fresh from hosting at sister AMG hotspot Pure in Caesars Palace. For the second time that night, Miguel sang "Sure Thing" and "Adorn." Afterward, he joined girlfriend Nazanin Mandi and friends at a VIP table.
Also at Hakkasan and Ling Ling Club: Apl.De.Ap of The Black Eyed Peas, Three 6 Mafia and Tom Welling ("Smallville"), who celebrated his birthday this weekend.

On Saturday night, Calvin Harris launched his exclusive residency to a crowd of thousands that included celebrities. To kick off the evening, Hakkasan Las Vegas and GQ Magazine hosted a private VIP event in the restaurant, and guests included J.Lo + Smart, Hudgens + Butler, Williams, Harris, Tiesto, Salling, Welling, "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer champion Cheryl Burke and more.
Harris took his place behind the turntables around midnight. Bottled popped and confetti dropped as he amped the crowd with "Sweet Nothing," "Feel So Close," "We Found Love" and more. Hakkasan resident Tiesto joined Harris in the DJ booth for a few songs. Harris had double duty Saturday, spinning at nearby Wet Republic during the day.
In Ling Ling Club, singer-songwriter Williams celebrated his 40th birthday as DJ Irie spun. Williams was presented with a three-tiered, ombre blue-and-gold cake and a champagne toast at 1 a.m. And there was no shortage of other celebrities at Hakkasan and Ling Ling Club on Saturday night.
J.Lo + Smart held court at a front-and-center VIP table located on the stage in the main room beside Harris. Lopez, in a short black dress and red lipstick, danced and partied with Smart, in a red jacket, and friends. Fresh off two weekends at Coachella Valley Music Festival, Hudgens, in a blue All Saints mini-dress, and actor boyfriend Butler ("The Carrie Diaries") cuddled and kissed in between dancing and partying.
Dancing the night away in the DJ booth: Hilton in a gold dress and blinged-out sunglasses, boyfriend Viiperi in a black hat that read P-A-R-I-S in large letters and pal Brandon Davis. Welling continued his birthday celebration with friends at a table on the dance floor blew out birthday candles around midnight. And Burke and "Glee" star Salling, with a full head of hair, partied and danced in separate groups into the wee hours.

Hi everyone,
I hope it is appropriate to post in this section, and I apologize if I am making a mistake.
My baby girl is 3.5 months old and fully breastfed since she was born. We never had any problems and she gained on average 250 grams per week. She eats every 3/4 hours even at night, I carry her around with a sling most of the time, we co-sleep, and I am not giving her any other food beside my milk. So why this morning I got my period? I am not worried of having my period, but I am afraid that this will diminish my milk supply. Anyone else had a similar experience?

A self-taught artist, Jeff Broeckx drew his first comic at age eleven. This was 'De Witte Hinde', and the text was written by his mother, Maria de Winter. He began to work at the Standaard Uitgeverij at age sixteen. While mainly illustrating schoolbooks, he rebuilt 'De Witte Hinde' in 1964 for the magazine Ohee. Together with his mother, he created the series 'Serge' in 1965 and 'Dag en Heidi', that ran from 1966 to 1984.
Bessy - Het geheim van Rainy Lake (redrawn edition, 1992)
Broeckx joined the Vandersteen studios in 1969, where he worked fulltime on the 'Bessy' comic. He became head of the 'Bessy' production in 1970. From 1976, he also inked the stories of 'Robert en Bertrand'.
Waterland - De Schuilplaats(Suske & Wiske Familiestripboek 1996)
In the magazine Zonneland, he created the series 'Sloeber', again scripted by his mother. Broeckx restyled the 'Bessy' comic in 1984, and started using more ecological themes. Of this new series, called 'Bessy Natuurcommando', appeared 23 albums with scripts by Marck Meul. He started the series 'Waterland' with scripts by Marc Legendre in Suske en Wiske Weekblad in 1994.
In 1984, Broeckx made a comic book based on the Flemish comedy duo 'Gaston & Leo', with help from Hugo Renaerts and Ronald Van Riet. From 1998 to 2002, he created the historical comic 'Verdwaald in het Verleden'. Jeff Broeckx has illustrated the books of 'Musti' since the death of Ray Goossens. Broeckx and his wife Ingrid van Dijck have made a comic about 'Jacot en Gnork', the mascots of the Lindenhoeve children's restaurants, in 2011.

May 1, 2013 — To legislate, or not to legislate—that is the question.
On April 18th, 2013, the German parliament became the most recent EU government to reject legally mandated quotas for women on corporate boards. This follows a pushback led last year by Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark against a proposal by Viviane Reding, the senior justice official in the European Union, for legislation requiring that women occupy 40 percent of the seats on corporate boards in the EU. "I don't like quotas," said Reding, "but I like what they do."
The proportion of women on boards across the globe remains low, and some countries have implemented quotas to tip the scales. Below are five facts about quota legislation across the globe:
1) At least seven countries have legislated gender quotas for publicly traded companies. They include Norway (mandating 40 percent women on boards), Spain (40 percent), France (40 percent), Iceland (40 percent), Belgium (33 percent), Italy (33 percent), and Israel, where publicly traded companies must have at least one women board director.
2) Israel was the first country to legislate gender quotas for publicly traded companies (1999)—Denmark is the most recent (2012). Unlike other countries, Denmark's is a "flexi-quota"— companies set the target themselves and publicly disclose their policies to increase women board directors, and their progress against that target.
3) French women held only 7.2 percent of board director seats at publicly listed companies in 2004. The percentage of women on boards in France spiked ahead of quota legislation passed in 2010, and continued to rise following enactment of the law. According to GMI Ratings, in 2012 the percentage of female directors in France stood at 16.6 percent, nine out of ten French companies had at least one woman on their board, and nearly one-third of French firms have at least three female directors. "By all of three of these measures," noted the report, "the level of female representation is now significantly higher on French boards than on those in the US, UK, Germany, or Australia."
4) Norway has what some consider the boldest quota laws on the books. Publicly traded companies that cannot maintain at least 40 percent women board directors face dissolution by court order. Due in large part to quotas, women's representation on boards in Norway increased in the last nine years from 9 percent in 2003 to more than 40 percent in 2012.
5) The UK has adopted a voluntary approach to increasing women's representation, urging 25 percent representation of women in the boardrooms of FTSE 100 companies by 2015. From 2010 to 2012, women's representation on FTSE 100 boards grew from 10.5 percent to 17.3 percent—on track to achieve the 2015 target. Despite this initial progress resulting from the UK's voluntary approach, a recent Cranfield School of Management report found that in the second half of 2012, the number of women appointed to the boards of the 100 largest listed UK companies dropped sharply, from 44 percent to 26 percent. Though the majority of UK government officials still believe that a voluntary approach is best, some have threatened UK companies with tougher measures, including quotas, if they can't meet gender diversity targets voluntarily. Currently a lighter touch prevails: companies that didn't set women board director targets for 2013 or 2015 received a personal letter from Prime Minister David Cameron requesting that they do so!
At Catalyst, we see that quotas work. But we also believe that other approaches can, too. What's most critical is that business leaders work to increase the representation of qualified women on their companies' boards—not how they do it.
What do you think is the best way for countries to improve women's standing in corporate boardrooms? Please share your thoughts with us!

Major risks in video games
February 4, 2014
Juan Carlos Vega
Video games are very popular, improving with technology year after year.
It seems like more violent video games are created in which sex, drugs and violence are a big part of the game. A lot of parents buy their children all these violent video games without knowing how they can affect their children.
Playing an excessive amount of violent video games can make children lose interest in interacting with peers. In fact, children may lose all interest in things other than the video game, becoming isolated from friends and family members.
Children who play an excessive amount of violent video games are more likely to become more aggressive, due to experiencing and learning a lot of violence through the games. In other words, the children could become bullies.
A recent New York Times story said, "Playing the games can and does stir hostile urges and mildly aggressive behavior in the short term. Moreover, youngsters who develop a gaming habit can become slightly more aggressive as measured by clashes with peers ..."
Violent video games can lead a child to use violence to solve a problem, and he/she may be involved on fights regularly. Eventually, kids will not see a difference between the real world and the game, which can lead them to harm themselves or someone else.
Parents need to be aware of what their children are playing and seeing, because they could be developing a criminal mind or a video-game addiction.

A dance specific to Eastern European males, can be seen in nightclubs around the world. Involves bouncing, usually the right leg in time to the beat of the music playing, also nodding the head in time with this. If the dancer is really feeling the beat they can bounce both arms up in the air with both forefingers pointing up, if the beat is AMAZING they can pump just one arm in the air, repeatedly.... while performing the leg and head moves.
Wow, check the hottie over there Boris dancing...
