Free agent Adrian Beltre underwent a physical exam Tuesday night and is likely to be introduced as the Rangers' starting third baseman Wednesday afternoon.
Beltre arrived in Dallas-Fort Worth on Tuesday after he and the Rangers agreed to a deal that could pay him $96 million over six years. Five years at an average of $16 million each are guaranteed, and he can earn a sixth year for another $16 million if he meets incentives in the fourth and fifth years.
The deal is structured similarly to the four-year contract that Kevin Millwood signed before the 2006 season. He had to pitch 180 innings in the fourth year for a fifth year to vest. He did, earning a $12 million contract for 2010 that eventually led to him being traded to Baltimore in December 2009.
Michael Young will switch positions for the third time in his career, this time to designated hitter and a role in which he will see time in the field by spelling other infielders.
Beltre is coming off one of the finest seasons in a career that started in 1998 as a 19-year-old. As a 31-year-old, Beltre hit .321 with 28 homers, an AL-best 48 doubles and 102 RBIs for Boston. But his strength is his defense, and he won Gold Gloves in 2007 and 2008 for Seattle.

Collectivism: a political or economic theory advocating collective control especially over production and distribution.
If Chuck Todd is right, our country is in trouble. On Morning Joe today, discussing President Obama's "you didn't build that" remarks, NBC political director Todd opined that "half this country believes" we are about collectivism. View the video after the jump.
Joe Scarborough jumped on Todd's remarks and Mika Brzezinski's reaction.Watch Todd express a view that should send chills down the spines of Americans who believe this country was built on individualism.
Todd spoke after a clip rolled of Mitt Romney criticizing President Obama's "you didn't build that" remarks.
CHUCK TODD: It's funny, it hit me: well, this is the divide between the two parties, which is, this individualism on the Republican side, and Democrats saying no, you know what?, there's a little bit more of a collective here. You can't, and they're going for the --
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Hold on. Did you just say collective, that's what we're about?!
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
SCARBOROUGH: Mika just said --
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: What's wrong with you?
SCARBOROUGH: Because we're not about about collectivism!
CHUCK TODD: By the way, I think half this country thinks we are. And I think half this country doesn't, which is why we are at an ideological split.
BRZEZINSKI: You know it. You just know what he is saying!
SCARBOROUGH: Collectivism! I don't even want to take the next jump to what political philosophy that encompasses! I won't say the word here!

Garage-rock revivalists King Khan & the Shrines have been called many things over their 15 years and half-dozen full-lengths, including psychedelic pranksters, neo-soul punks and fashion-funk polyglots.
But it's easy to boil all those down to a single descriptor: party band.
"We just kind of go for the throat right away," said 37-year-old lead singer Arish Ahmad Khan, a Montreal native known for his elaborate headdresses and shirtless stage antics.
We caught up with Khan before his band's main-stage set at the 20th annual Westword Music Showcase, which takes place June 21 at 17 indoor and outdoor stages across the Golden Triangle neighborhood and includes more than 140 local bands with national headliners such as Diplo, 2 Chainz, Cherub and Man Man.
Q: You're playing the big outdoor stage at the Westword Music Showcase. How does the King Khan party translate to an outdoor stage versus a club?
A: Obviously I prefer being in the club or theater just because it's more intimate, but it still translates pretty good. There was a time where I would be kind of grumpy about playing festivals because I didn't like the daytime feeling, but I got over that a long time ago and now I just have fun.
Q: What's your idea of fun?
A: I like to make fun of people a lot during the shows, like the people (sitting) in the portable potties. I call them out from the stage. I just know people are sitting in those small boxes tripping or making out with strangers in a toilet, and that's awesome.
Q: You've described live music as a ritual, and anyone who likens rock 'n' roll to their religion would agree. Can an outdoor festival be like a revival sometimes?
A: It's a big difference if the sun is up or down in terms of watching something. I don't take a religious ceremony seriously if it's in broad daylight, so in that way it's hard to conjure certain feelings when you're in the daylight and people are eating hot dogs all around you. But we try.
Q: What helps?
A: I love seeing people who are tripping balls at our shows. Just recently in Athens, for example, these two 19-year-old kids were tripping and making out and for one second I was like, "Man, I wish I was feeling like that!" And this sort of contact high took hold and suddenly the show took this really crazy turn. I grabbed this wooden statue and was making out with it and passing it around the room and suddenly everyone just flipped and went crazy. So you have to channel other peoples' freak-outs.

A District 5 resident has filed a complaint with the Tennessee Ethics Commission Wednesday that alleges Metro Councilwoman Pam Murray lied on her ethics disclosure forms filed with the state in 2008 and 2009.
On the forms, Murray stated she is self-employed. However, the Sunshine Treatment Institute in Detroit has documents listing Murray, a licensed clinical social worker, as the admissions coordinator, the complaint from Terry Dale VIbbert states.
Vibbert's complaint alleges that Murray lied when she said she was self-employed.
The claim comes one week after a report was filed with Metro Police in which a group, including Murray, allegedly used racial epithets during a confrontation with District 8 Councilwoman Karen Bennett and Nashville attorney Jamie Hollin following a community meeting.
Hollin, who lives in Murray's East Nashville district and was at the April 28 community meeting, said the group used epithets like "whitey" and "cracker" during the confrontation.
Murray denied the claims.
The council member has been under fire since the airing of a WTVF NewsChannel 5 report in late April that indicated she's living a majority of the time in Detroit, where she works as a social worker. She has called the report false, saying she only travels to Detroit for work twice a month for three or so days at a time.
"I don't live in Detroit, I live in Nashville," Murray said.
If the Ethics Commission finds Vibbert's complaint is within its purview, it will be forwarded on to the state Attorney General.
Pleased to see someone has filed a complaint. For far to many years Pam has ignored the neighborhoods, the meetings and on going crime.
If Pam works 5 days per week in Detroit, are we to believe she flys home to Nashville every night?
Racist is Murrays middle name. Heard all of the above and Murray also did some major gay bashing during past elections. Murray even tried packing the room during elections to the neighborhoods to prevent a "White Neighbor" from being elected. I also heard "The Neighborhood Is Turning White," which was also very common and "You Don't Belong Here." Murray was in her glory by keeping the "Race Card" alive in her District. Murray used the "Race Card" to get what ever she wanted even if it was unethical and illegal.
Pam and her friend Joyce even went to extremes to hide felons from the police. Why Carol from Neighborhood Resources didn't file ethics complaints years ago is mind boggeling as Carol was well aware of Murray's discrimination towards "White People," and was also a target herself. Murray claimed she made Carol and that Carol wouldn't get any more funding. This was after the neighbors elected a "White Person" as President. Murray was irate.
Neighbors for years tried to call Murray but mail box was always full, and if able to leave message she never returned most calls. The only time Murray showed up at meeting was during neighborhood elections or when city officals where invited. After all she has been in Detroit for years working, not living in Nashville as she claims.
Thanks to Bennett and Hollin for doing what's right for the District and also channel 5 for exposing Murray.
Gentrification is never handled well by the previous neighbors.
Gentrification is a factor in many neighborhoods, but that doesn't seem to be the basic problem here. Many long-term neighbors have had problems with Pam as their Council Member. Because of this, in the last election, she was opposed by a long-term resident who is also African-American. So while gentrification probably figures in here, it is NOT the main factor.
That is so true. I am still amazed that Sam McCullough, who really did live in the district, lost to Murray last Election. He would have worked hard for the area.
She stays away long enough District 5 will get that paper mill. Residents of that district would do better to vote someone else in who'll stay at home and keep the mill out.

Much is made of Google Glass and its undisputed position as the king of the wearables, but the conversation about this product is one that takes place about the future. At this point, although things don't look astonishingly good, nobody knows if it will tip or fall over, so the chat focuses on what will happen as opposed to what has already happened.
A recent report by digital agency Brilliant Noise and social media monitoring company Brandwatch redresses this imbalance by analysing more than eight million online conversations around wearable technology over the past 18 months.
The results are interesting. Year-on-year the conversation around wearables has increased an impressive 190 per cent when comparing the first quarter of 2013 (973,300 mentions) to that of 2014 (2,816,814 mentions), while also revealing that people are still reserving their opinion on the technology, only 8 per cent of the conversation contained sentiment of any kind – with 6 per cent positive and 2 per cent negative.
Unexpectedly, the most negativity came not from those who were sceptical about the technology, but from those who actually owned it (51 per cent of negative chat was from owners) – hinting that the reality might not be living up to the hype.
Twitter dominated as the main location of wearables with 75 per cent of all mentions, with news sites a distant second at 10%. Moreover, more than two-thirds of the conversation emanated from North America, reinforcing the notion that the wearables market is more advanced across the millpond. Elsewhere across the globe, the conversations were negligible, perhaps further evidence of an over-hyped and localised industry.
"While a lot of the buzz is around Google Glass, people are more likely to be actively talking about buying a Fitbit, a product that has been available to the public for some time and is becoming mainstream, while Google Glass is still an outlier.
"The focused purpose and lower price point of the Fitbit have also helped it to achieve wide appeal. Product owners are more likely to discuss their products on forums than elsewhere, because these are places they can discuss particular features or issues with other product owners, and in longer form than Twitter," said Jason Ryan, Partner at Brilliant Noise.
The winners of the space where a new brand battleground is beginning are products relating to the Quantified Self. Fitbit and Pebble emerged as the top three products mentioned by volume in the US, while in the UK, the rankings stood as Fitbit and Nike Fuelband… Apple's recent announcement of its HealthKit tool should see online conversations about wearables increase exponentially over the next 12 months.
"One of the interesting things that came from this research is that chatter about wearable tech is no longer confined to the water cooler in the engineering department. Discussion about wearables has become far more commonplace in mainstream society, and we're seeing more types of people talking about it, and in more kinds of places.
"Just like with smart phones or tablets almost a decade ago, we're on the cusp of a cultural shift that reflects our changing attitudes towards how we live with technology," said Will McInness, CMO Brandwatch.

We all feel it. It's that sense of being stuck. That feeling of helplessness. It is that nagging thought in the back of our mind telling us it won't get better. It is like a big bully holding our head at a distance as we swing our little fists against the wind.
It adds just enough friction that most of us give up. We stop trying. We decide it isn't worth the effort.
But some know when they're not pushing on a wall, but instead they're wading into water. They know friction doesn't always hold them back. Sometimes it's what they push against in order to move forward. So, they dive in. They kick against the waves and scoop the tide behind themselves.
Eventually, they break out of the current's hold and move with a greater ease and grace. Meanwhile, we find ourselves watching from the shoreline. Only we don't cheer in delight. We don't follow suit. We simply complain about how difficult they made it by leaving us in their wake.
The trick isn't being the greatest of swimmers. It's knowing when to dive in and not give up.

Regional Reviews: Cincinnati
The Human Race Theatre Company of Dayton, in addition to their normal season, offers readings of both new shows and rarely performed existing tuners as part of their Musical Theatre Workshops Series. Past productions include King Island Christmas, Weird Romance, and the home-grown musical Prometheus Dreams. The series continues with another new title, Convenience. This two-act musical was chosen to be part of the 2000 Festival of New Musicals presented by the National Alliance For Musical Theatre and has been workshopped and produced at Geva Theatre in Rochester, New York. Following the readings in Dayton, the show is planned for another mounting at Geva and then a possible Off-Broadway production.
Convenience is the story of Vince, a closeted homosexual, and his mother Liz. Twenty-six year old Vince is unable to commit to moving in with his boyfriend Ethan due to the unresolved issues of his childhood. Ethan encourages Vince to take a trip home in order to deal with his conflict, mend the broken relationship with his mother, and "out" himself to her as well. At the same time, Liz is trying to deal with guilt about her failed marriage to Vince's father, her difficulties with her son, and a recent marriage proposal from her friend Abe. Vince's visit home brings back a flood of painful memories and stressful situations for both mother and son. With the help of their lovers, as well as the ghosts of their former selves, they seek to re-establish their bond and move forward in life.
The music, lyrics, and book for Convenience are all the work of Gregg Coffin. The score is quick, complex, and extremely catchy. Most of the songs are either sung-dialogue or introspective ballads, reminiscent of William Finn (though not always with Finn's efficiency in lyrics). While the show would benefit from a few more variations in style away from straight-forward modern theater songs (the one exception, the bluesy "Love Has This Power" is a refreshing change), the score is melodic, highly theatrical, and praiseworthy.
Coffin's book effectively mixes humor and tension, and is witty and sincere. The "convenience" of avoiding conflict instead of dealing with the unresolved issues between the characters is clearly stated and reinforced. Actually, the reinforcement of this concept is one of two primary areas where the show can be improved. The avoidance idea is reiterated so often that it becomes unnecessarily repetitive. Some trimming of the book can easily solve this problem, however. The other point of contention is the use of the ghosts of the two lead characters' memories. This device is used often, with the current Vince and Liz talking to their own younger selves, as well as that of the opposing family member. The memory of Vince's dad even makes a brief appearance. This concept strengthens the reasoning behind the issues between mother and son. However, the use of these memories needs more focus and clarity to be fully effective in the context of the piece.
The five-member cast of Convenience is made up of a mix of local and New York based performers. As Vince, Max Von Essen (from the recent Broadway revival of Jesus Christ Superstar) displays a clear and impressively powerful voice and does well in capturing the confusion felt by the character. Local actress Henni Fisher sings capably and is convincing in the demanding role of Liz. Scott Hunt (Les Miserables, Rent) supplies much of the show's humor and sings beautifully as both Ethan and Young Vince. Melissa Rain Anderson takes a break from the current national tour of South Pacific to appear as Young Liz. She brings a strong, confident voice and an endearing quality to the role. Wright State University faculty member Don Warrick is suitable as Abe and Vince's Father.
Though the actors are seated and have scripts available, they provide detailed interaction with the other performers, which assists in allowing the audience to picture the piece fully staged. Director Kevin Moore has guided this cast well, and he has consistently done so for previous readings in the series.
Convenience is a musical theater piece of great potential, much of which has already been realized. With a little additional work and improvement, a solid, interesting, and entertaining show should emerge which will be of interest to theater audiences across the country. The show was performed on February 10 and 11, 2002. The Human Race Theatre Company continues its Musical Theatre Workshops Series with Stephen Sondheim's Pacific Overtures, featuring Star Trek's George Takei, from June 22 - 24, 2002.

Screen Gems Studio Wilmington Reviews
83 reviews
The Magic of Wilmywood Sep 18, 2011
First off, I will say that photography is not permitted on the tour of Screen Gems Studio. If they catch you taking pictures, they will delete it and escort you off the property.
The tour that we went on showed off three permanent sets for the CW show "One Tree Hill," which is in its final season. The first sound stage was of the main house of one of the characters, a set that cost $500,000 to make. That's more than my house cost. They went on to explain some of the magic of producing a TV show--the moving walls, the lack of electricity or running water in the "house" and what they need to do to create that illusion. They talked about the lighting on the set, including lighting to make it appear that it's daytime outside even though they may be shooting at night. The tour also included a recording studio and a beach house in two other sound stages. Appliances are real appliances, but they aren't working models due to the fact that there is no electricity hook ups on the sets. There were some temporary sets for the show, but they couldn't show us those since the episode hadn't aired yet.
Following the tour of the soundstages, we were taken to the screening room where they view the dailies--watching everything that was filmed that day, looking for errors and how it would look on screen.
Overall, the tour lasted about an hour, and I would definitely say if you get the chance to come here, it's well worth the time.

Screen Gems Studio Tour - Wilmington, NC Nov 07, 2009
Little did I know that my latest residence is home for the largest movie studio east of LA in the US. I'm pretty clueless about TV these days, but Chip was down to visit from Boston and since Eric is home we took the entire brood to enjoy the tour last Saturday. The Screen Gems Studio in Wilmington is right next to the airport and the tours, which start every Saturday at 2PM cost $12 ($10 for students/military and $5 for children 6-12). Just show up at the gate and wait for them to let you in – there is no capacity limit, so no need to arrive early.
They conduct the tours on the weekends intentionally since the studio is not in operation, so don't expect to see any stars or any live action. I'm sure this disappoints many attendees, but the tour was guided by youngsters who work at the studio and their enthusiasm was evident. They informed everyone that pictures would not be tolerated, explaining why my only snapshot is from just beyond the entrance gates. The first thing the guides did was poll our group to see who was a raging fan of "One Tree Hill," which I never heard of before. The balance of the tour was basically walking through the sets where they film this TV series.
Not a profound adventure by any stretch, but it was fun to walk on the sets and get some insider info on filming these shows. Even though we were instructed not to touch anything on the sets, I confess to flipping a light switch at the beach house which one husband-wife couple on the show apparently owns, so if you watch "One Tree Hill" let me know if the switch in the middle of the three-switch unit by the front door is UP --- they were all down before my vandalism! I knew this was harmless since they had told us nothing on the sets was wired.
After walking through several sets you sit in the screening room for a short promo film and then exit through a pretty lame gift shop. Certainly not a reason to head for Wilmington, but a pleasant diversion if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

Screen Gems Studios tour Mar 22, 2008
There were two studio tours that we had to choose from- One at 12:00 and the other at 2:00. We weren't the only people there when we arrived at 11:15 for the 12:00 tour. We got in line in front of the front office, and then proceeded to watch car after car inter the parking lot. The line behind us grew and grew, and we were silently congratulating ourselves for getting there so early. When the office opened, we bought our $12 ticket, then everyone was split into two groups. Once our tour started, our tour guide told us he'd never seen so many people at one tour. I'd say there were between 40 and 50 people in each of the two groups.
Screen Gems Studios, which is the largest TV and movie production facility East of California, has nine soundstages in all- we got to tour stages 7 and 8. The main production at Screen Gems Studios was One Tree Hill, so between the two stages, we got to see Nathan's and Haley's house, Mouth and Skills' apartment, and the high school. Of course, because it was Easter weekend, there were no actors to be seen anywhere. When we were finished touring the stages, we went behind the scenes and got to see the editing room. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, as he gave us information on the current season of One Tree Hill and other projects that had been filmed there, such as Domestic Disturbance, Black Knight, 28 Days, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Weekend At Bernies, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Matlock, among other things. We also got loads of information about filming, lighting, sound, and edition. It was quite interesting.
Although I'd never seen a single episode of One Tree Hill at the time I took the tour, the tour definitely peaked my interest. I'd seen Dawson's Creek, which had also filmed there, but seeing the actual sites of OTH, along with my sister's love of the show, made me want to see the show. The only complaint I had about the tour was our photo restrictions. The production company (The CW) wouldn't allow anyone to take pictures on or around the sets, as they didn't want any spoilers, so the tour guides were adamant we didn't take any photos, and if cameras were seen, they'd be confiscated. Needless to say, I didn't see any cameras.
Since my visit to Wilmington, I have seen every episode of One Tree Hill. It's fun to recognize things on the TV that I saw in 'real life'.

[Editor's Note: We all know local music and dive bars go hand-in-hand. So in the interest of merging the two together on Heard Mentality, we bring you our weekly nightlife column Dive, Dive, My Darling. Read as our bold web editor, Taylor "Hellcat" Hamby, stumbles into the dive bar scene every week to find crazy stories, meet random weirdos and guzzle good booze.]
Huntington Beach's greatest cabbie is always good for a history lesson. Ace from Fat Taxi has been driving home drunks like me in this city for 30 years, so he has seen bars come and go–and knows the good dirt on them, too. One night about a year ago, I told Ace to drop me off at Bar Hookup off Beach Boulevard. It was recommended by Drak, the scratchy-voiced owner of Vinyl Solution record store down the road.
"Oh, that place isn't Bar Hookup anymore," Ace said. "It's now called Shanghai'd Room."
Ace then recalled the pedigree of this location: It used to be a shady massage parlor that got raided by the cops years ago. You don't get these choice background tidbits from a Yellow Cab ride, that's for sure.
The roadside sign for the place doesn't say, "Shanghai'd Room," instead announcing, "COOL BAR." Sure, it may be cocky advertising, but it certainly isn't false. The space is pretty tiny and lit by a dark, red hue. The décor features Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling, vintage opium posters and a couple of bottles with dead snakes stored inside–creepy cool.
The televisions don't play sports, but rather foreign films with ludicrous fake subtitles and the whimsical alien cult-classic cartoon film Le Planete Sauvage. The bar only serves beer and wine, making do with its limited license by hosting an ever-changing selection of import and craft beers and clever cocktails made from rice-based liquors. Among the tasty concoctions is the cilantro-and-chile margarita–both spicy and savory.
One night at the Shanghai'd, I was sitting with a group of friends when a skinny guy with a thick beard and curly mop announced to the crowd there was going to be a standup comedy night. My friends and I looked at one another and quietly groaned, as amateur comedy nights can be particularly painful.
Comedians go up to the mic in the center of the room and do their thing for a few minutes each. After the third or so act, I remember thinking, "Wait a minute . . . these people are actually funny. Where are the awkward pauses and generous half-chuckles from the audience I've seen at every other amateur comedy night at a dive bar? The crowd is genuinely laughing!"
Here are some samples from a recent Comedy Den night:
"I recently had to sell blood for overdraft fees," said a dude wearing a dark hoodie, a forest-green bandana tied around his head. "I'm not sure if I believe in the 'invisible hand of the market,' but I'm getting fisted by it." He continued, "I stopped studying philosophy because that's the study of becoming the world's smartest homeless person."
"I've been doing a lot of crying lately," said a slick-haired guy in a leather jacket, explaining that his girlfriend recently left him. "I wanna give a shout-out to sluts for making this transition easier." Later, he asks, "Anyone here into rap music?" and after a few hoots from the crowd in response, "No minorities in here, huh?"
And the aforementioned curly topped host, Evan Cassidy, mused about his car during one of his trips to the mic: "The Prius is an unshaven-pussy magnet."
In such close quarters, the Comedy Den is a haven for hecklers–and Shanghai'd Room is the place where smartasses run wild and say whatever they want (even I'm guilty of it here). There was the girl who yelled out about how she was gay, and then not really, and then, "Okay, just kidding, I really am gay." After she yelled out during a few guys' sets, she left, only to be replaced by a new wiseguy named Jeff who was wearing an Angels cap. He was happy to lend a hand to a comedian who hadn't gotten a recent laugh. He was only helping, he said!
After one too many wisecracks, he was invited up to the mic to see how funny he really was. "I've got three minutes, and everyone here hates me," he began. He rambled on for a while about how his fingers smelled like pussy. He ended his impromptu set with, "What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Damn."
Leave the funny stuff to the amateurs, Jeff.
FAVORITE PIECE OF FLAIR: A little old TV with perma-static sitting behind one corner booth has the words "Make Out Booth" written across the screen.
BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT: "If a pussy falls on the ground for more than five seconds . . . I'll still eat it."

Let's talk, NAB boss tells customers
Page Tools
National Australia Bank chief executive John Stewart will next week meet hundreds of staff and customers in an effort to build morale, receive feedback and encourage a more open culture.
The "Let's Talk" program is likely to be followed up over the next few weeks with announcements about senior management appointments and a new auditor as the bank attempts to rebuild investor support.
It follows another hard week for the nation's largest lender. Renewed profit warnings on Wednesday triggered three days of heavy selling, dragging the share price down $2.64 to $28.34, a fall of more than 8 per cent for the week.
NAB's claim that it will maintain its 83¢ second-half dividend - taking the 2003-04 total to $1.66 - yesterday came under fire from analysts concerned about the magnitude of the 10-15 per cent downgrade.
According to UBS, the bank's efforts to maintain market share, large capital expenditure needs and regulatory-imposed capital constraints make its 80 per cent payout ratio unsustainable in the medium term without additional capital raising.
Mr Stewart is expected to have to defend the bank's dividend policy next week when he meets a mix of business and retail bank customers to answer questions about bank plans and receive feedback.
He is expected to be in Brisbane on Monday at a meeting of about 400 staff - nearly half the metropolitan complement - to expand on strategy issues and take questions. On Tuesday he is expected to repeat the performance in Sydney. Similar meetings are scheduled later in the year for other national capitals.
"It will try and create the attitude that there are no sacred cows in the bank and that all operational issues are open to discussion," one source said.
"Let's Talk" was created after Mr Stewart convened a meeting of about 1800 Melbourne staff at the Victorian Arts Centre on May 21 after the cancellation of the extraordinary general meeting intended to resolve the boardroom crisis triggered by dissident director Catherine Walter following the $360 million currency crisis.
John Stewart is expected to have to defend the bank's dividend policy, which some say is unsustainable.
With the EGM cancelled because chairman Graham Kraehe and Mrs Walter had agreed to stand down, Mr Stewart called the staff meeting to talk about banking issues and answer questions.
PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority criticised NAB's lack of openness and bureaucracy.

I used wet'n'wild for a few years because it was cheap and seemed to work. However, I ALWAYS had a problem with it flaking off after 2 days... and then I'd pick and peel it off (which is not healthy for your nail).
I tried many base and top coats but none stopped the peeling of the nail color.
I am now using OPI and ESSIE (both win all the nail awards every year). I was skeptical when I first tried them, but, to my surprise, my nail polish does not flake or peel at all now. The polish remains on for over a week. And I even forget to use a top coat!

The belonging project is an action-based participatory research project which aimed to improve social inclusion for children with additional needs, and their families, in the Tweed Shire community on the border of New South Wales and Queensland.
The aim of the research was to work with stakeholders across the community to build a framework for social inclusion in community settings. In particular, the project aimed to grow the skills and knowledge to become a community in which everyone has a say, has friends, and can go where they want, when and how they choose.
The project action plan included:
A report of project outcomes includes recommendations with a focus on the culturally specific needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, who made up fifty percent of the research participants.
This project was a collaboration between the Northern Rivers Social Development Council and the Centre for Children and Young People, and was funded by the New South Wales Department of Family and Community Services, Ageing, Disability and Home Care.

This assessment shows that the level of knowledge is not consistent with the potential severity of the problem of climate change and coastal zones. While knowledge is not adequate in any aspect, uncertainty increases as we move from the natural sub-system to the human sub-system, with the largest uncertainties concerning their interaction (Figure 6.1). An understanding of this interaction is critical to a comprehensive understanding of human vulnerability in coastal and low-lying areas and should include the role of institutional adaptation and public participation (Section 6.4.3). While research is required at all scales, improved understanding at the physiographic unit scale (e.g., coastal cells, deltas or estuaries) would have particular benefits, and support adaptation to climate change and wider coastal management. There also remains a strong focus on sea-level rise, which needs to be broadened to include all the climate drivers in the coastal zone (Table 6.2). Finally, any response to climate change has to address the other non-climate drivers of coastal change in terms of understanding potential impacts and responses, as they will interact with climate change. As recognised in earlier IPCC assessments and the Millennium Ecosystem and LOICZ Assessments (Agardy et al., 2005; Crossland et al., 2005), these other drivers generally exacerbate the impacts of climate change.
The following research initiatives would substantially reduce these uncertainties and increase the effectiveness and science base of long-term coastal planning and policy development.
Establishing better baselines of actual coastal changes, including local factors and sea-level rise, and the climate and non-climate drivers, through additional observations and expanded monitoring. This would help to better establish the causal links between climate and coastal change which tend to remain inferred rather than observed (Section 6.2.5), and support model development.
These issues need to be explored across the range of spatial scales: from local to global scale assessments and, given the long timescales of sea-level rise, implications beyond the 21st century should not be ignored. Thus this research agenda needs to be taken forward across a broad range of activities from the needs of coastal management and adaptation to global integrated assessments and the benefits of mitigation. While some existing global research efforts are pushing in the direction that is recommended, e.g., the IGBP/IHDP LOICZ Science Plan (Kremer et al., 2004), much more effort is required to achieve these goals, especially those referring to the human, integrated assessment and adaptation goals, and at local to regional scales (Few et al., 2004a).

Earnings gains give Wall Street a lift
Boeing bounces back after Japan Airlines supports Dreamliner
Published 8:22 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2013
NEW YORK — Stocks rose on Wall Street Wednesday after U.S. corporate earnings reports got off to a good start.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 61.66 points to 13,390.51 at closing. The Dow is coming off of two days of losses.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained four points to 1,461 and the Nasdaq composite rose 14 points to 3,105.
Having rallied after a last-minute resolution stopped the U.S. going from over the "fiscal cliff," stocks are facing their first big challenge of the year as companies start to report earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012. Throughout last year, analysts cut their outlook for earnings growth in the period and now expect them to rise by 3.21 percent, according to data from S&P Capital IQ.
"Maybe earnings expectations were a little too low," said Ryan Detrick, a strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "You don't need to have great earnings, you just need to beat those expectations" for stocks to rally, Detrick said.
Alcoa predicted rising demand for aluminum this year as the aerospace industry gains strength. Late Tuesday the company reported fourth-quarter revenue that beat analysts' estimates. Investors pay close attention to Alcoa's results and forecasts because the aluminum it makes is used in so many industries including construction and manufacturing.

13,390.51 +61.66

Boeing was the biggest gainer of the 30 stocks in the Dow, accounting for 17 points of its increase. Boeing jumped $2.34 to $76.47 after two days of sharp declines triggered by new problems for its 787 Dreamliner. Boeing said it has "extreme confidence" in the plane even as federal investigators try to pinpoint the cause of a fire Monday on an empty Japan Airlines plane in Boston and a fuel leak at another JAL 787 on Tuesday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged down to 1.86 percent from 1.87 percent.

-About me-I am a proud Winston-Salem resident who lives, works, and plays in the Triad and has done so for more than 10 years. With each passing year my love for, and commitment to this community has grown stronger and deeper. I am amazed each day how much this region is growing and I am so glad to be a part of it!
-My Start-I began my venture into Real Estate after having participated in multiple investment projects. One of my favorite projects was the purchase and renovation of my own home; a 1962 Ranch in Winston-Salem. Over time I realized that not only did I enjoy working in real estate, but that my knowledge of the local market combined with my personality and skill set aligned for a wonderful career match!.
-My Experience-I attained a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management in 2004. After that, I worked in sales management and business logistics. Later, I found myself involved in several real estate projects and before I knew it, I was a licensed real estate broker! Now, with several years of real estate experience behind me, I can provide you with sound advice when it comes to buying or selling your home! I have an insightful perspective on what homeowners need to do and what they need to know in order to get their home sold as quickly as possible and for the fairest price. I also have an excellent perspective when it comes to purchasing a home because I have the vision to help buyers see all the potentials that a home possesses.
-Personal Interest/Hobbies-You may notice a bit of an accent when you first meet me. I am a native of Russia. When I moved to America I quickly learned English. Having lived my entire American life in North Carolina, some say my Russian accent has a bit of a Southern drawl!More than anything, I love to cook (while sipping on wine and entertaining guests, of course). I believe in shopping and eating local and I spend almost every Saturday morning grocery shopping at the Cobblestone Farmers Market in Old Salem.I enjoy learning about anything that is old, vintage, antique or otherwise worldly. Although I don't get to do it nearly enough, I do love to travel. Some of my favorite American cities are Washington D.C., Savannah, Charleston, Miami and Denver.Home and garden have always been interests of mine. I have enjoyed renovating my home from top to bottom. I always have a DIY project or two going on either in my house or in the yard. I look forward to designing and building my custom dream home one day.Lastly, I love living in the Triad! The history, art, culture and diversity of this area are what makes it a wonderful place to live. Now, as the economy and infrastructure continue to grow, I am so glad I have the opportunity to live, work and play in the Triad!question will have a huge impact on how we advertise your property.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) – Sixty years after a tragic fire tore through the Cleveland Hill Annex killing 15 students, the community paused to honor and remember those who lost their lives.
March 31, 1954 a furnace exploded at the Cheektowaga school and spread to a music class with sixth graders.
Bonnie Rowland-Haller was in that class. "It was a loud noise and the teachers said everyone run to the door. I was fairly small and I was the last one. The fire came in the door and we ran to the window. I was fortunate to get out".
Rowland-Haller and other members of her graduating class of 1960 were at the memorial service at Cleveland Hill High School on Saturday.
Dick Odien recalls a fellow classmate's account of that tragic day.
"I asked Dennis. I talked to him. He said the day of the fire it was just complete chaos. The building was a wooden building and it went up like a matchbox" said Odien.
Many believe the students died and more were injured because the school windows were too small and wouldn't open. There was also no school fire alarm directly linked to emergency services.
Families and survivors are happy that codes and regulations have changed because of this tragedy.
A new memorial was unveiled after the remembrance ceremony. The original one was placed in a courtyard that wasn't open to the public.
Now it sits in the front of Cheektowaga High School for anyone to see. It has the engraved stone from the original memorial.
Now people have a place to reflect and remember those whose lives were tragically cut short and the lives of others that were forever changed.

AHL President Dave Andrews wants to expand the 16-team league. Portland Pirates owner Tom Ebright, chair of the AHL's expansion committee whose Pirates originally were in Baltimore, said Baltimore could "re-emerge" with the "right ownership and environment." Bob Teck and Alan Gertner, partners in the Gertec Corp. which builds private ice hockey arenas, are possible Baltimore owners. The two have also scouted sites in PA and NJ. The AHL would like to expand by 3-4 teams by next year, with a decision possible by December 16 (Sandra McKee, Baltimore SUN, 11/30).
Leagues Governing Bodies
As expected, the MLBPA did not make a counter-proposal to the owners' tax plan. Jayson Stark in Philadelphia writes, "It was once expected that the players' negotiating team might feel some sense of urgency to make significant headway this week, before the owners simply unilaterally implement their salary cap in five days and throw the baseball world into chaos." In the four-hour meeting, the union asked the owners "a lot of questions about the tax proposal they'd made 13 days ago. Then they all broke for dinner. And absolutely zero progress was made -- not that that's anything new" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 11/30). Braves Player Rep Tom Glavine: "If they are waiting for us to give in, then it is going to be a long wait" (ESPN, 11/29). Rockies Owner Jerry McMorris: "We are still not really negotiating. We continue to circle the wagons, we don't have a counter-proposal, and we don't have any real negotiations going on, we have a lot of explanations going on, a lot of technical questions happened today" ("Sports Tonight," CNN, 11/29). Both sides "appeared yesterday to have all but given up on reaching a negotiated settlement" (Mark Maske, WASHINGTON POST, 11/30). The players said that a counter-proposal could come as a result of their meeting next week in Atlanta (Mult., 11/30). MLBPA Exec Dir Donald Fehr: "We have a board meeting next week, and that board meeting will be to review everything from top to bottom, and I am certainly not going to make a judgement now on to what the board is likely to decide" (ESPN, 11/29). REPLACEMENTS OR REINFORCEMENTS? Red Sox CEO John Harrington hinted that owners could field replacement players: "Our preference is to put our major league players out there. But if they're unwilling to play, then we'll have to go with someone else who is willing to play" (USA TODAY, 11/30). In New York, Joel Sherman speculates that if the owners do turn to replacement players, some MLB players may cross the line. "Should players start trickling in and threaten to create a flood that would damage" the MLBPA unity, the union could attempt to send its members back to work without signing an agreement (N.Y. POST, 11/30). But ESPN's Keith Olbermann notes: "On the whole, things are bad enough that John Harrington said today that even when the players do end the strike without an agreement, the owners might then turn around and lock them out" ("SportsCenter," 11/29). There are "potential problems" with replacements. Orioles Owner Peter Angelos, "who built his Baltimore-based law practice representing local trade unions, has told associates he won't field a replacement team." And Ontario provincial law prohibits the use of replacement workers, so the Blue Jays could not field a replacement team -- "at least one that plays its home games in Toronto" (Mark Maske, WASHINGTON POST, 11/30). Harrington noted that the "Quebec situation" has been worked out so Montreal can use replacement players (N.Y. TIMES, 11/30). The BOSTON HERALD reports that the Red Sox held a staff meeting last week "at which initial plans were formulated to start the season if the major leaguers remain on strike" (BOSTON HERALD, 11/30). THE IMPASSE: Sources indicate that the owners have told GMs to come to Chicago next week. The GMs will conduct the Rule 5 draft of unprotected minor leaguers, then will be briefed by owners on the "ramifications" of the new rules (PHILA. INQUIRER, 11/30). Assuming owners declare an impasse and implement a cap, 21 teams would have to reduce payrolls by a combined $55M (WASHINGTON TIMES, 11/30). EXPANSION: Next week's owners meeting will also include a Sunday session during which the owners will discuss expansion and interview the prospective ownership group from Orlando. Harrington said the "likelihood of expansion remains low as long a there is not a settlement, but indicated it would not be out of the question after implementation" (Peter Schmuck, Baltimore SUN, 11/30).
NHLPA Exec Dir Bob Goodenow said yesterday that negotiations will resume tomorrow. Asked what to expect, Goodenow told the N.Y. POST: "We haven't set any final offers or drawn any lines in the sand. ... We reviewed the whole range of issues and further refined the players' opinions and feelings on them. We didn't really come up with any decisions" (Mark Everson, N.Y. POST, 11/30). The talks will reportedly be held in Chicago. Bruins President & GM Harry Sinden, who will attend the meetings, said he was told to keep Thursday, Friday and the weekend available (Nancy Marrapese, BOSTON GLOBE, 11/30). DISSENSION OR SMOKESCREEN? Goodenow "is drawing fire from his constituents and agents who claim he's already given away the farm. But the attacks on Goodenow may actually be a smokescreen as the union prepares to deliver its counter-proposal to the owners when negotiations resume tomorrow." Blackhawk Jeremy Roenick told the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: "I hope people realize how much the players have given up to get hockey back on the ice. Many of the players -- I'd say 99% -- feel we've given up too much already and we're not going to give up any more." One "prominent" agent said he believes Goodenow has "messed up." And a player rep from the Central Division added: "The boys are really pissed off at Goodenow. They figure he's given up too much." But Maple Leafs President & GM Cliff Fletcher warns against taking the rhetoric too seriously: "There's so much spin going on ... from both sides" (Dave Fuller, TORONTO SUN, 11/30). Citing the rookie cap, Canuck Jeff Brown said there is "absolutely nothing more" the union can offer: "I know for a fact a lot of guys are pissed with what we've already given up" (Elliott Pap, VANCOUVER SUN, 11/30). STANDIN' BY THEIR MAN: MSG President Dave Checketts said the players are "mistaken" if they believe that large-market teams such as the Rangers will pressure the league to make a deal: "We stand behind Gary Bettman. We've come this far, we have to make sure we find a responsible solution to the problems we face as a league. ... The league's view is my view as well" (N.Y. POST, 11/30). WILL THE TAX RETURN? One union official said it was "accurate" to say that the return of the owners' luxury tax would be a deal-breaker. But the official added: "Unless they surprised us and come back with a tax that was like 25 percent, something that was negotiable" (Dave Fay, WASHINGTON TIMES, 11/30). Blues Player Rep Guy Carbonneau said he believes the owners' luxury tax may be a "bluff" (Dave Fulller, TORONTO SUN, 11/30). TEAM GRETZKY: Wayne Gretzky's all-stars kick off their tour tomorrow with a game against the IHL Vipers at The Palace at Auburn Hills outside Detroit. The European opener in Helsinki on Saturday will be seen on CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada" -- with sponsorship by Molson -- kicking off "what amounts to the first NHL marketing gambit in Europe. The irony is that the league wants no part of the six-game tour and is doing most everything it can to kibosh the affair, even though two games are on ESPN" (Tony Gallagher, Vancouver PROVINCE, 11/30). NHL VP of Public Relations Arthur Pincus denied that anyone at the league tried to stop the tour (Kevin Allen, USA TODAY, 11/30).
49ers VP John McVay "has seen more blindside hits on quarterbacks this season than he can ever recall." That's why he is proposing that the NFL competition committee study the use of a penalty box, similar to that in the NHL. McVay: "So many people are putting hits on quarterbacks this year that someone needs to come up with something innovative to try to stop it." Under McVay's plan, a player would have to sit out 15 plays for a late hit or roughing on a quarterback, but unlike the NHL, the defense would not have to play a man short. McVay says he has not spoken with any competition committee members about making it an item on next March's agenda (Timothy Smith, N.Y. TIMES, 11/30). Agent Leigh Steinberg, who has 17 QBs as clients, will bring together leading brain specialists to discuss every aspect of head injuries. Steinberg will invote every NFL QB to the seminar. Key topics: the cumulative effect of concussions, and whether repeated concussions cause premature senility (USA TODAY, 11/30). In New York, Phil Mushnick writes, "The NFL, for several years, has packaged and sold unneccessary, undeniably dangerous violence. The time has passed for Paul Tagliabue to do what David Stern did and pull back on the sick stuff. The NFL is not only losing its standing as a sport, it's systematically losing its highest paid stars to brain contusions" (N.Y. POST, 11/30).
PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, "the man with the soft CEO demeanor who governs a normally laid-back sport, has turned tough guy and is playing hardball." Finchem said the PGA Tour will suspend players who choose to play events, without permission, on the newly created World Tour (Glenn Sheely, ATLANTA CONSITUTION, 11/30). Finchem: "If a new tour becomes a reality in 1995 or thereafter, our members will have to decide whether they want to continue to play on the PGA Tour or play on a new tour. This is not dissimilar from the decisions [pro] athletes in other sports were forced to make when competing leagues were formed." Finchem laid out some points that need to be considered when forming more int'l events: The size of the field, eligibility, purse breakdown/money guarantees, event selection, charity and governance. Finchem: "I would invite all PGA Tour members, including Greg Norman, and all other individuals and organizations involved in the world of golf to work together to consider a series of international competitions which could meet the above criteria" (PGA Tour). ON THE FTC PROBE: Finchem also addressed the current FTC investigation of the PGA Tour: "We believe the FTC staff's position is not well-founded. These rules (a) have been responsible for tremendous growth in professional golf output in this country (whether measured by number of professional golfers, number of competitive tournament opportunities, amount of golf on television or prize money); (b) have provided in excess of $250 million in charitable contributions over the years; and (c) form the basis for the structure of the sport of golf that is superior to the structure of any other professional sport" (PGA Tour). Finchem said the FTC process could take 4-5 years, and it is possible the PGA Tour will ask for some intervention from Congress (WASHINGTON POST, 11/30).

Hi Guys,
I don't have too many favourites this month for a couple of reasons. I've been on holiday for the past two weeks so I've not tried too many new products. I'm also on a spending ban – my spending was getting way out of control and I have the most amazing summer lined up so I need to be more serious about saving. I had originally banned myself from makeup and clothes, but ended up buying some new clothes a few days later (no regrets). I have however stuck to not buying makeup, as hard as it's becoming. The deal with myself is that I'm not buying any new makeup unless essentially needed (ie my powder has just smashed) until I go to New York. That's so I can actually use up stuff I own to go on a guilt free make up splurge in the Big Apple.
Anyways, down to my few products.
Tesco Beauty Nail Polish Remover Pads
I'm so surprised these have made it into my favourites. I've always been very sceptical about remover pads after trying a few and they just didn't do the job properly. However, these are a total exception. I picked them up on a whim wanting to give remover pads one last go to take away with me and I'm glad I did. It took me one pad for each hand it took all the varnish off. It left my nails slightly greasy but I think all remover pads do so a quick hand wash after removal is needed. I can't remember the price exactly but they were around the £2 mark for 15 pads so it's an amazing price to take travelling.
Essie Bikini So Teeny
I can't remember if it was last summer or the one before when this colour was all the range but ever since it's been a firm favourite colour in summer or winter. It's such a gorgeous blue with a slight shimmer running through it. The Essie formulation is one of my favourites and they last so long on my nails. I wore this on my toes for my holiday and it's currently gracing my fingernails. I can't get enough.
Alien Perfume
This has been a favourite perfume for years, without ever owning it. Whilst still at school one of my friends had it and I fell in love with it. In my first year of uni one of flatmates had it and I always knew when she'd left the flat by the trail of scent left down the corridor. Through all my years of loving it I'd never had it for myself. In February my grandparents who live abroad came to visit and when they asked what perfume I'd like from duty free this was first on the list! I don't wear it every day as I like saving it for nicer occasions rather than just a day at work. The description online is a rich floral amber containing jasmine sambac, cashmeran wood and white amber. If you've never smelt this perfume (which I highly doubt) go smell it!!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef
I've had this lipgloss for a while but it ended up at the back of my collection. I thought taking a coral away with me would be perfect for nicer weather and I was right. I wore this lipgloss most evenings of my holiday as it went with practically every outfit. It has a beautiful sheen and isn't too sticky. An added bonus is that these lipglosses contain SPF15 which is always great. It's not as long lasting as I'd like it to be but it's never a pain to apply more lipgloss.
What were your favourites this month?
Thanks for reading

Letter: Keep hunters out of neighborhoods
Published 6:04 pm, Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Upon reading the article "Deer hunting right in the yard," Aug. 13, my first reaction was what a lame-brained idea this is. Then I was embarrassed that my town's governing board, i.e. the Bethlehem Town Board, seems to be going along with it.
According to the article, "The town quietly launched a new program that pairs homeowners struggling with deer problems with bow hunters willing to hunt big game on small lots." "It's a glorified Match.com," Julie Sasso, a Town Board member, is quoted as saying.
The article further tells of the plight of Jim Garry and his wife who have both had Lyme disease. Lyme disease is certainly a miserable and debilitating illness; however, I would bet that the killing of deer in residential backyards will not abate the problem. The so-called "deer problem" has been in the making for years, and the fault lies squarely with those in the town who have allowed way too much building causing habitat destruction. How many more "McMansions" and town house developments need to be thrown up in the town's remaining green spaces and wooded areas?
I find the idea of hunters crouched in trees in residential lots to be creepy. As a Bethlehem homeowner, I do not like the idea of local neighborhoods becoming killing fields. And as the article also points out, even after a clean shot, a deer may take some time to die, and may stumble for some distance. Personally, I would be disturbed by an arrow-impaled deer staggering onto my property. The hunter would not be greeted hospitably and, after this, perhaps Town Board members wouldn't be either.
