A System for Resolving Conflicts of Interest
Voices, July 29, 2010
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law this month represents the greatest overhaul to the financial markets since….ever.
The law provides a clear blueprint for how the financial markets will operate and how market participants will behave in the new era of reform.
Not exactly.
In fact, much of the legislation is not effective immediately. The new law mandates hundreds of new rules. Almost 70 studies or reports must be undertaken by various regulatory bodies with deadlines between 90 days and 18 months from the day the bill was signed. Truthfully, the 800+ pages of fine print are a little tough to navigate and some of the requirements and deadlines are ambiguous at best.
Deciphering this and executing all of the action items contained in it will create a significant burden on all of the regulators to meet these aggressive time frames and may distract them, at least for the immediate future, from performing their primary task of actually regulating the marketplace. And firms in the securities industry will quite literally be technically challenged to keep up.
Some of the big questions are:
Will this legislation create a regulatory framework to ensure that another financial calamity does not happen? Will it hinder the competitiveness of US financial institutions in the global market place? Does it go far enough or will it stop short of its intended purpose?
The answer to these questions and questions like them will be in the details of the rules and reports that will roll through the rule making process over the next year and a half. And into the systems companies use to comply with the final rules that are enacted.
Conflicts are Inherent
Multifaceted organizations have a long history of grappling with the conflicts inherent to their business models. They will be judged, under the new paradigm, by their successes in identifying and resolving those conflicts. One thing is certain: the financial services industry will continue to struggle with conflicts of all kinds and there will be many new rules and regulations in this area for firms to cope with.
Agencies and market participants should carefully consider the impact of how these rules are promulgated. It sounds good to politicians: protect clients and create fiduciary obligations for broker-dealer firms to their clients (investment banks currently have no such obligation); provide regulators, and the regulated, with bright-line tests that could be applied; eliminate proprietary trading (however that's defined) in the spirit of the "safety and soundness" principles. But will the rules achieve the principles? That remains to be seen.
The government is now afraid of having institutions that are "too big to fail." Today, large global investment banks provide a broad range of financial intermediary services and have such a large and diverse client base, that conflicts between the interests of an investment bank's clients, the bank itself and between multiple clients of the bank are not uncommon. If too strict requirements are put into place, it could force today's mega firms to divest conflicting businesses and clients. The result would be many boutique firms specializing in a few products and services and catering to the needs of a narrower band of clientele. Would the industry, the clients they serve, and the economy benefit more from a dismantling of a business model that has, arguably, worked reasonably well in the past? Perhaps the answer lies in a concerted effort to effectively manage the inherent conflicts in that business model.
Big Enough to Compete, Too Big for Low Standards
This nation should exercise caution before returning to the model that dominated the United States landscape before the repeal of provisions of the Glass Steagall Act, specifically those previsions that prohibit a bank holding company from owning other financial companies.
The Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, signed into law in 1999, enabled US investment banks to grow and compete more effectively in the global market place. Reversing this now could negatively impact US institutions from competing. It could have the effect of creating opportunities for foreign banks to capture market share (and, not to mention, jobs). It could reduce efficiencies and drive up the cost of raising capital that drives economic expansion.
If the new regulations require US firms to hold themselves to the newly prescribed "highest standards of commercial honor and the just and equitable principals of trade," they may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage to their foreign peers who may not be required to take the same conservative stance. Even with these competitive risks, however, most large global players have recognized a need for improvement, and are already pushing toward a more conservative, or some may say "ethical", approach to conflicts of interest.
Most of the large global investment banks already leverage technology to identify and proactively address potential conflicts of interest across the enterprise and within specific businesses.
Compliance technology allows firms to deploy rules and processes which identify and address potential conflicts. Once potential conflicts are identified, there are many ways to address them such as making disclosures, creating information barriers (Chinese walls), passing up on business opportunities, or bringing in independent third parties to advise. The right information generates informed action.
Despite popular political bloviating to the contrary, most investment banks are managed by highly ethical and conscientious people who genuinely strive to do the "right" thing. They look for the lines and try to stay within them. It remains to be seen if the new rulebook will put the lines in the right place. For now, market participants of all stripes will need to leverage technology that will be flexible enough to adapt to the new requirements as they these rules are promulgated.
Bottom Line: The Bill is law. The agenda is set. And now it must become our next great focus to create meaningful regulation that will balance the needs of the marketplace with the risks of financial calamity.

Essentially every anti-depressant on the market contains large amounts of fluoride that seriously affect the way your brain works, and the chemicals it creates to keep you happy and healthy.
Fluoride has been scientifically proven numerous times to be detrimental to the human body, and yet our government still approve it to be added to virtually anything they know we'll consume.

I just installed SS for a new site and none of the buttons like, Create, Search, Batch Actions, Insert image, etc are working. This is the same install I have been using for all my sites. Doesn't work in IE7 or FF.
I opened a different site and it works. What can I do to fix this?
I wanted to add that the FTP upload of files and install all went well. No issues.

Perfect FERRET food! That's right, FERRET.
posted 6 years ago
I would like to see this in organic instead of just "Nature's Best", but let me tell you, this is the BEST ferret food. My ferrets prefer this over anything else, and it makes them incredibly healthy. When real ferret food (many brands, many qualities and prices) made mine sick, I started looking for alternatives. this stuff cured all of their problems and made them healthy, happy little buggers. It is the perfect size, moisture and has lots of protein for them. A friend of mine's ferret was suffering from adrenal problems, I told her to switch foods and THIS stuff cured it!
Pros: I don't know about kittens, but this is some really good stuff for ferrets.
Cons: Could be organic.

My cats got upset stomachs with this
posted 5 years ago
We got this as a sample when our cats were little. They ate it okay, but really seemed to have an upset stomach quite often. We switched them to another brand and they did just fine. Have heard good things about the Science Diet products--they just weren't palatable for our cats.
Pros: none
Cons: Had an upset stomach-more expensive

Last Friday, one of the civic engagement student-led groups, Farms to Kalamazoo College, conveniently known as "Farms 2 K", closed the school week with a mini feast by holding the 8th annual Farms 2 K social as part of the homecoming week celebrations.
Faculty, alumni, and current students filled the Dewing lounge where they were treated to a variety of organic foods, grown and produced by Michigan farmers.
"We bought most of the food from the farmers' market," said Na Young Kim '17, a member of Farms 2 K.
After about thirty minutes of feasting and warm interactions, the assemblage was summoned to Dewing 103 by the Director of the Center for Civic Engagement, Professor Alison Geist, for a panel discussion that consisted of alumni, local farmers, a representative from Kalamazoo College Dining Services, a current student, and two faculty members.
Professor Geist quickly welcomed everyone to what she called "a celebration of Community, partnerships, local food, and social justice."
Civic Engagement Scholars Nadia Torres '16 and Maddie McWilliams '16 briefly told the audience about the goals and activities of Farms 2 K.
"At the core of our organization is a love of good food and a desire to facilitate learning on-and-off campus about fair, local, organic, sustainable food," Torres said. "Farm's to K seeks to restore a connection with food."
The scholars also explained that Kalamazoo College Dining was chosen to provide dining services because they shared Kalamazoo College's values regarding food.
"Creative Dining shares most of our food priorities and has started bringing more local foods to the cafeteria already," McWilliams revealed.
Panel moderator, Professor of English and Farms 2 K faculty advisor Amelia Katanski led the discussion under the theme 'Foodlosophy,' or food philosophy, where each panelist shared their own foodlosophy.
Most panelists believed that food should be a basis for connecting people or building community.
Erica Barajas, Executive Director at Fair Food Matters, said, "My foodlosophy is very much based in relationships with other people and also relationships to food."
Alumna Rachael Udow also advised everyone to know where his or her food comes from. "I try to make a conscious effort to know where my food comes from so that when I am making a choice on what to eat, it is a more informed decision," she said.
K alumnus and audience member Kyle Dale '93 acknowledged K's efforts regarding food justice. "I think the College has done a great job, which makes me very proud to have attended Kalamazoo College," he said.

(Reuters) - Illumina Inc said on Monday that its board unanimously rejected Roche Holding's increased offer to buy the genetic sequencing company for $51 per share, or about $6.7 billion, saying it dramatically undervalued the company.
Illumina management told its shareholders that accepting the revised offer was not in their best interests and urged them not to tender any shares.
The Swiss drugmaker last week raised its offer to buy Illumina from an initial overture of $44.50 per share in an effort to curry support from shareholders of the U.S. company ahead of Illumina's annual meeting later this month.
Illumina shares were trading above $51 on Monday, indicating that investors expect the Roche bid to be raised again. A source familiar with the situation last week told Reuters that Roche could further increase its bid if it found more value in the business during the due diligence process.
In a letter to Roche Chairman Franz Humer rejecting the latest offer, Illumina Chief Executive Jay Flatley said that "it dramatically undervalues Illumina and does not adequately reflect Illumina's singular position in an industry poised for extraordinary growth."
It goes on to call Roche's offer "opportunistic" and said Roche was "fully aware that even the revised offer does not reflect the intrinsic strength or future prospects of Illumina."
Roche declined to comment on the latest Illumina rejection.
San Diego-based Illumina urged its shareholders to support its slate of directors at the April 18 annual meeting and reject Roche's proposals.
Earlier on Monday, Illumina projected first-quarter revenue well above consensus estimates, and said it expects profit to exceed or meet market expectations.
For the quarter ended April 1, Illumina said it expects to report revenue of about $270 million, above the $257.4 million expected by analysts, on average, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Profit is estimated to be in line or exceed the 31 cents per share expected by analysts, Illumina said.
Illumina also said the first quarter marks the third consecutive quarter in which it had a book-to-bill ratio of over 1. A book-to-bill ratio above 1 means that Illumina booked more orders than it could deliver in the quarter, reflecting increased demand for its products.
Illumina makes equipment that decodes a person's entire genome. It would give Roche a leading position in the promising market for gene sequencing and fit nicely with its large diagnostics business.
Illumina shares were down 60 cents at $52 in afternoon trade on Nasdaq after trading as high as $52.62 earlier in the day.

Created for the disciples and aspiring disciples of His Holiness Radhanath Swami
On this section devotees can add various quotes from lectures of His Holiness Radhanath Swami. They can be the newest lectures or from older lectures. We encourage devotees to contribute and create a wonderful Krishna conscious inspirational collection.
"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." - H H Radhanath Swami
"The search for little pleasure is the cause of great unlimited pains. And Maya says little
more …little more…and for this little more we miss the ultimate bliss" - H H Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
"The essence of spiritual life is simply to use our free will properly" - H H Radhanath Swami.
The only failure really is within; when we make excuses, when we have justifications for "I can't do it". We can with the grace of God.
"During prosperity your friends know u but during adversity u know them. When u r left with nothing that's worth exploiting you will realize your friends have no time for u. When u become a liability people abandon u immediately"
You can tell how rich you are by trying to find how many things you have that money cannot buy. Money can buy a lot of things but it can never buy love. Only love can buy love, that is the greatest inheritance that we all have. -- HH Radhanath Swami
In spiritual life if we want to actually achieve the goal, we have to have this one pointed fixed vision on Krsna. -HH Radhanath Swami
The difference between material and spiritual life is our perception. How we see the reality around us. Everything we perceive is filtered through our conditioning, the species of life we are in, the various designations we have identified with, our desires and our ego. --HH Radhanath Swami
We should try to accomplish the best we possibly can. But that shouldn't be at the cost of our character, or everything becomes empty, spiritually, in the eyes of God.
By Radhanath Swami
Very Happy & Enlightened to Read all these comments
Sometimes when we struggle in our lives, it may seem painful to someone who is watching. But those very struggles actually make us strong and powerful. - HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj
Difference between material and spiritual is the consciousness in which it is utilized. - HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj
A great person naturally sees fault in himself or herself and is not willing to see any fault in others.
Spiritual life is not about austerities or denial but rather it is a life of acceptance- acceptance of God's grace.
Real peace is the peace of mind. HH Radhanath Swami(Jagannath Puri Yatra 2013 lecture)
Very nice quotes from HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
"Service to God and humanity that is not disturbed by the inevitable changes of this world, and is motivated genuinely for God's pleasure, and for the welfare of others, is the supreme goal of all genuine spiritual paths"
God's shelter is the only way we can be fearless and protected from all dangers in this material world.

Insider's Guide to Philly
Recession-busting Philly Travel Tips from the Owner of Philly's Most Affordable Food Tour
1. Check out some of Philly's hottest restaurants at a fraction of the usual cost from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays June 4 through Aug. 27 as part of the Center City District's summer Sips program. Appetizers are half-priced and selected drinks are $3-$5 during this special happy hour. Among notable restaurants participating are Jose Garces' Rosa Blanca and Garces Trading Company, the Ritz-Carleton's 10 Arts and the atmospheric Farmer's Cabinet. Visit centercityphila.org for more information. The evening gourmet food truck confab known as Night Market is also fun and affordable. It's happening at West Oak Lane on June 19 and Lancaster Avenue on Aug. 21.
2. Lots of free programs at Penn's Landing (walk over I-95 on Chestnut Street from Old City to the Delaware River waterfront) this summer, including fireworks on July 5 and concerts to appeal to fans of smooth jazz (every Friday in Aug. at 7:30 p.m.) and gospel (Smokie Norful is part of the lineup 3-8 p.m. Aug. 23). Visit welcomeamerica.com for details on the free July 2 hoagie chowdown, the July 4 Roots concert (this year Jennifer Hudson, Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande will also be featured) and fireworks on the Parkway and all the other Independence week events. Or take a SEPTA trolley across Philly's other river into West Philly and catch some free Shakespeare in Clark Park, specifically "Henry IV," at 7 p.m. July 30 to Aug. 3. Or attend one of the free staged readings of new plays at the Adrienne theater in Center City as part of the PlayPenn Festival July 11 to 27. Visit PlayPenn.org for the schedule and reservations information.
3. The air-conditioned Free Library of Philadelphia's schedule of evening author events living up to the free in its name continues through the summer. Notable free appearances include a romance writer panel on June 30, food preserver Marisa McClellan on July 31 and Watergate-era White House counsel John Dean on July 31. See the full schedule here.
4. Take the local train to and from the Airport. The R-1 train picks up at all the airport terminals and has three dropoffs in the heart of Center City Philly. Then get around Philly on one of SEPTA's one-day convenience passes for $12 or $28 (the latter covers unlimited bus/train/subway/trolley rides for a family of five, including your train ride in from the airport). The passes can't be purchased at the airport but if you present your receipt from the R-1 at a SEPTA ticket counter at one of the downtown stations it will be credited when you buy your pass. These are great deals considering that a single bus or subway ride is $2.25, and that the train ticket from the airport is $8, and that the minimum price of a single local cab ride to/from anywhere in Center City is about $10. Or, if you're 65 or over, just show your Medicare card for free SEPTA bus/train/trolley rides and $1 train rides. Another affordable option for just getting around town: the purple Phlash bus for $2 per ride or $5 a day.
5. Score a discounted "community rush" seat to any event listed on the Kimmel Web site as "Kimmel Center Presents." Click here for a listing of current "on-sale" shows and how to get the tickets. Or catch the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann outdoor amphitheater. Lawn seats perfect for picnicking are only $15 for these classical concerts (free for the July 16 and Aug. 1 ones, though these must be reserved ahead online on June 16) and you can get to the Mann via a SEPTA Loop bus that picks up from Center City at regular SEPTA bus prices ($2.25 or a token). The orchestra is also doing one free outdoor concert at Penn's Landing's on July 2 at 8 p.m. Also make the longest day of the year pass a little faster by going to free concerts all over town all day June 21 -- see the schedule at makemusicphilly.org.
6. Make a day excursion to New York City for as little as $3 roundtrip (processing fees included) on a spiffy new Bolt or Mega bus, departing right across the street from 30th Street rail station (Mega also stops near the Visitors Center). Must purchase these nonrefundable tickets online (BoltBus.com or MegaBus.com) and the further ahead you make your reservation, the better the chances of snagging the $3 seats. Their more typical fares of $18 to $32 roundtrip depending on demand are still not that expensive and less hassle than the train.
7. If you're in town the first week of the month plan your Philadelphia Museum of Art visit for that first Sunday when admission is pay-as-you-wish instead of the usual $20. Or visit any Wednesday after 5 p.m., when the pay-what-you wish admission includes family-friendly interactive activities, or Friday afternoons, when regular admission includes a free world-class jazz concert in the Great Stair Hall from about 6 to 9 p.m. See PhilaMuseum.org for the current schedule. The nearby Rodin Museum is always pay-what-you-wish. The Barnes Foundation offers free early-evening performances with regular ($18) admission on the first Friday of every month. Or check out some of the many free open houses held at art galleries throughout town as part of Philly's First Friday of the month event. The University of Pennsylvania-affiliated Institute of Contemporary Art in West Philly is open Wednesdays to Sundays and always free.

11. Lunch on one of Philly's famous hoagies at Chickie's Deli on Federal in South Philly or Primos at 2043 Chestnut St. in Center City or one of Philly's even more famous cheesesteaks from Sonny's, Campo's or Jim's in Center City or Pat's, Geno's, Philip's, Tony Luke's or John's Roast Pork in South Philly.

12. Eat dinner at one of Philly's many charming neighborhood BYO restaurants like Melograno (Mediterranean), Cuchina Forte (famous for gnocchi, also Bella Vista), Chloe (New American/Old City), Radicchio (Italian/Old City) enjoying some of the best cooking Philly has to offer with alcohol you purchase yourself for a fraction of what licensed restaurants would charge (Buy your wine at one of many Center City state liquor store locations – addresses at lcb.state.pa.us and your beer at a bar or deli.) Cost: Typically less than $25 per entrée plus the cost of your own liquor. These restaurants usually don't charge a corkage fee but many also don't take reservations – expect a wait on weekends unless you go very early or very late.
How to Order a Cheesesteak: A Guide for Tourists
There is a protocol to ordering a cheesesteak at the cheesesteak epicenter of Ninth and Wharton, which, if not followed, can result in being sent to the back of the line Soup Nazi–style, or even worse, getting less meat. At Pat's and Geno's, you must order by saying the name of the cheese you want and then "with" or "without" (or as it is often pronounced in South Philly, "wit" or "witout"), which means with or without grilled onions. A correct and traditional order there would be "Whiz wit." "Mushrooms witout" will get you a steak sandwich with mushrooms but no onions or cheese. You order and pay for your drinks and fries at a separate window.
This ordering system is chiefly used at high-volume shops, which need to keep their lines moving quickly, or other places (many out-of-town) who are trying to provide an "authentic" Philly cheesesteak experience. Slavishly adhering to the "wit or witout" phraseology at a more low-key neighborhood joint in Philly will mark you as a nervous tourist. Many of these out-of-the-limelight places don't even offer Cheez Whiz. White American is the more common cheese default regionwide, along with provolone and mozzarella.
Acceptable cheesesteak condiments include peppers of all kinds, hot pepper relish, hot sauce, ketchup, dill or sweet pickles but not mustard and mayo (although a really good steak won't need any condiments).
As weird and arbitrary as some of the above principles may seem, holding as tightly to them as you do to your wallet while placing your order should leave the impression that you know what you are doing, always a good thing for a stranger in a strange town.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I am a paladin tank... I have 10% spell damage reduction between improved righteous defense and spell warding, and a 3% increased chance to completely avoid spells from pursuit of justice. On top of that, we are the tanks that can on the fly increase our resistance to fire, shadow, or frost magic by simply changing our aura. With a holy paladin in my party, and a shadow priest in my raid, I have very good spell damage mitigation against the three forms of magic that get thrown at me by the spell shades in Kara for example (which allows them all to be tanked with no CC).
Murmur is kind of a pain, but if you have enough hp, you can just eat a sonic boom. If your DPS is where it should be he won't even be able to get a second boom off, so you could just bubble through the first boom.
The big multi-mob pulls in SL are cake if you just mark the targets to die in the proper order. Kill the acolytes (healers), then the shadow priests (most of the damage), and the rest is cake. Most of the spell damage can be mitigated with shadow resist aura. As a paladin tank I always mark casters to die first, because physical damage dealers are a joke as they kill themselves on my holy shield.

Comfortable and Convenient Condo
Very comfortable condo for a family visit to Orlando. The condo is centrally located with great freeway access to all of the attractions and other parts of Orlando. You will not lack for space to spread out and enjoy time with family. The washer and dryer are a plus on hot Orlando days. The condo has everything that you need and a Publix right down the street. Thanks Irina for a great stay! Seattle, Washington
As described
The condo that we stayed in was well equipped and as described. It was close to Universal Studios and Sea World. Our two young adults appreciated having space to spread out. The unit itself is located a ways from the club house which was not really a negative for us since most of our time was spent in the theme parks. Would definitely consider staying there again.
Great location
It was my first time in Orlando and everything worked out so perfect for me and my family, the house was beautiful and clean, it was in a gated community and not far from the parks at all.. And the price was very reasonable.. We were very happy.

Want to Look Thinner? Avoid Horizontal Stripes
Women often avoid clothing with horizontal stripes, believing the pattern makes them look wider than they actually are. Now new research has proven that to be true.
Women often avoid clothing with horizontal stripes, believing the pattern makes them look wider than they actually are. Now new research has proven that to be true.
Many of us could stand to lose a few pounds, but the total body mass of all the overweight people in the world is truly surprising, according to a new report.
Perhaps, not surprisingly, the US accounts for a disproportionate number of this extra poundage.
Food manufacturers and supermarkets like to advertise that their meals are healthy. But there can be only one "healthiest" meal, and British scientists have looked through 4,000 health claims in an effort to determine what that would be.
If you want a raise at work, you might want to think about spending more time at the gym.
Last week, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced a proposal which would ban certain sugary drinks over 16 ounces in the city.
For years, many diet experts have advised using smaller plates for our food. By doing so, normal portions look bigger and thus fool us into thinking we've eaten more than we have.
Now a group of Japanese researchers have taken that idea one further — they've created goggles that make food look larger.
Suddenly we are a nation of outlaws.To be truthful if we wanted to cut down on health care cost in this country we would have similar legislation and smoking would be against the law too. However, this is America and I do believe we have the right be as healthy or unhealthy as we choose to be.
It's no secret that America has a weight problem. We love food too much and exercise too little. A life like that doesn't have many healthy side effects, affordable health care or pants that don't create muffin tops.
Fat Tuesday took on a whole new meaning earlier this week at a Florida casino, where gamblers were given a dime in slot machine credits for every pound they weighed.
In a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, researchers have proved that lack of sleep is a contributing factor in weight gain.

Modern Kitchens from the 1100 Architect Portfolio
We shared some of their modern bathroom designs earlier in the week — and here are our favorite kitchens from the 1100 Architect Portfolio of New York area homes...
These are all from expensive, custom designed homes — but we love some of the details, like the multi-colored sliding translucent cabinet doors in picture #2 and the pop of color in picture #5. Both of these ideas cold easily be translated to a smaller scale and on a smaller budget. What do you like about these kitchens?
For even more pictures of beautiful modern homes, see 1100 Architect and our roundups of their bathrooms, staircases and bedrooms.

I love the door in the first one, but it's an odd choice to put the open (or glass doored?) storage unit next to it. Sticks out like a sore thumb in that very white kitchen.
I think my favorite is #3. It looks comfortable, and well-designed for daily use. But I like the light over the table in #4, and the blue cabinets in #6. The #5 kitchen is impressive, but looks too much like a trophy room that wouldn't get much use.
... and is that really double faucets over the side-by-side sinks in #5?
I love #5! Granted, in the photo it looks a little sterile, but filled with people and food, it would be amazing. It looks like a chef's dream to cook in (at least, THIS chef!).
Emily, I think it bothers me because it looks so much like kitchens I've seen in designer showcase homes, which are owned by people who do not cook. But yes, it is designed well for someone who really does entertain at home. Caterers would love it.
The reason I like three? It's designed for the way I live.
I like 4 - the lighting over the kitchen table is gorgeous; the kitchen is not obscenely large - but the windows and glass doors make it feel open; and i like having a table right there. My only complaint would be the coloring of the floor.
mmm. Number 5. And can I get those clear bar stools in aquamarine please?
LOL, Blandwagon! I totally missed that huge whisk. But we have a giant fork in our home, so I can't criticize! =)

Oklahoma City, OK (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Lowry had 22 points and nine assists as the Toronto Raptors handed the Oklahoma City Thunder their first home loss of the season following a 104-98 triumph on Sunday night.
A Lowry triple with 3:15 left gave Toronto a 98-93 cushion, but Perry Jones sunk a pair of free throws and Kevin Durant nailed a straightaway 3 to knot the game with 1:39 left.
The Raptors, though, netted the final six points of the contest.
John Salmons made two foul shots at the other end and Jonas Valanciunas blocked Russell Westbrook in transition to keep Toronto in front. Amir Johnson knocked down two free throws to make it 102-98.
Durant missed a triple with 12 seconds left and Lowry pulled down the rebound and nailed a pair of foul shots to seal the outcome.
"They made enough plays down the stretch and we didn't," said Thunder head coach Scott Brooks. "We got a lot of open looks that we just didn't make and we gave them easier looks in the fourth than we did in the third."
Johnson tallied 17 points and 13 rebounds for Toronto, which has won four of its last five contests. DeMar DeRozan netted 17 points in the victory.
Westbrook had 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, while Durant added 24 points and eight boards for the Thunder, who had their nine-game winning streak snapped.
"You don't hold a guy like Kevin Durant down like that too many times," said Toronto head coach Dwane Casey. "He had a quiet 24 but he had to work for each one of them."
Oklahoma City was the lone remaining unbeaten team at home heading into the tilt.
Toronto led 25-21 after a quarter of play and 62-56 at the break.
Valanciunas' floater staked Toronto its largest lead at 67-58 with 9:57 left in the third before the Thunder used an elongated 24-4 run to build an 11- point lead.
Durant had 11 points and Westbrook added 10 points during the surge, which was capped on a pair of Westbrook free throws for an 82-71 OKC advantage late in the third.
The Thunder, who outscored Toronto 28-13 in the third, took an 84-75 spread into the final frame. Toronto shot just 17.4 percent (4-of-23) in the period.
A 16-4 Raptors run in the fourth helped them build their 98-93 edge.
The Raptors shot 39.6 percent (36-of-91) from the floor ... Oklahoma City was
35-of-36 (97.2 percent) from the foul line ... Durant made all 12 of his foul

Bonus features on the Blu-ray and DVD include three exclusive behind-the-scenes featurettes:
- "The Fall" featurette
- "Fans, Villains & Speculation: The Legacy of Sherlock Holmes" featurette
- "Shooting Sherlock" featurette
So... how did Sherlock do it? And how will John take the news that his best friend faked his own death? The first episode of this new series, "The Empty Hearse", picks up two years after the devastating effects of The Reichenbach Fall. Dr. John Watson has got on with his life - a new job, a new romance and a comforting domestic future beckon. But with London under threat of a huge terrorist attack, Sherlock Holmes is about to rise from the grave with all the theatricality that comes so naturally to him. It's what Watson wanted more than anything, but if Sherlock thinks everything will be just as he left it, he's in for a very big surprise...
In the second episode, "The Sign of Three", Sherlock faces his biggest challenge of all - delivering a Best Man's speech on John's wedding day. But all isn't quite as it seems - mortal danger stalks the reception, and someone might not make it to the happy couple's first dance.
And in the final episode of this new series, "His Last Vow", a case of stolen letters leads Sherlock Holmes into a long conflict with Charles Augustus Magnussen, the Napoleon of blackmail, and the one man he truly hates. But how do you tackle a foe who knows the personal weakness of every person of importance in the Western world?
This contemporary re-imagining of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic, co-created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) and Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen), also stars Rupert Graves (The White Queen) as Inspector Lestrade, Una Stubbs ('Til Death Do Us Part) as Mrs Hudson, Amanda Abbington (Mr. Selfridge) as Mary Morstan, Louise Brealey (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) as Molly Hooper, and Mark Gatiss as Mycroft Holmes.

Ahaha, I recently did some arena skirmishes with a guildie (we are trying to make a 3v3 we just need a 3rd lol) And whenever something messed up and we lost we were apologizing to each other for whatever mistake we may (or think we may) have made. This is play that I like not the super competitive (incoming grammar mistakes) "WTF R U DOING!" "OV4R THAR!" or "WHY DIDNT YOO DOO ANYTING?!", etc. Just enjoy the game... if it stresses you change how you play or stop playing.

I played a 2s match with a resto druid as an arms warrior, against a feral druid/mutil rogue comp, and my healer died at the same time the rogue died. I chased this feral druid around Ruins forEVER until I finally got a mortal strike-into-burst that took him out, and my teammate was AMAZED. The next match we went up against a mage/rogue and got facerolled, he ragequitted and I haven't talked to him since.
Some people can't take a lose :/
I agree with you to a point, there are some games that for fun, but there are also times where you should be serious.
It's not just arena either, do you think ensidia laughs when a member screws up? But yes, people who rage too often are just annoying.
Ps. I would take that triple warlock comp challenge, but i'm on a Enh Shaman, MM hunter, Resto Druid comp atm. 1950 lulz

Explore seasonal and local opportunities
Opportunities other than typical long-haul can often pay off big for independents, says Chris Brady of Commercial Motor Vehicle Consulting.
"Look at a commodity that is available at a particular time of the year, because you know that a shipper will pay extra," Brady says. "It's almost like hauling some particular vegetables or fruit out of an area at a particular time."
Seasonal spikes in demand in certain areas can be wellsprings of good rates. Kurt Brown, running on his own authority out of Knoxville, Tenn., was banking on a side kit for one of his flatbeds to pull him out of the abysmal rates he saw on load boards in February for flatbed commodities. "Nursery season is upon us," he says, which means a likely high volume of loads coming out of McMinnville in east central Tennessee.
Preston Greer, president of McMinnville-based specialized nursery freight broker Greer Transportation, says to keep in mind that the downturn affected seasonal businesses, too. "The nursery business follows the building industry," he says of his own.
Consider other brokers
"If you've been using just one broker, expand out to several," advises Brady. Utilizing Internet load boards such as Internet Truckstop and GetLoaded.com provides high-volume, efficient ways to get loads.
For owner-operators dealing with brokers, Spencer stresses "not only checking to see whether a broker is properly registered with FMCSA and has a bond on file, but making sure you check their credit rating." Rating services like Redbook and RTS Credit take reports from carriers about freight brokerages, producing an overall rating.
Even though rates have deteriorated, freight broker Greer notes that the shrinking economy has improved his own appreciation of the needs of his owner-operator clients. "I've had to adjust my business to help guys get to where they can get a load back to be profitable," Greer says.
Market yourself directly
The cost of changing carriers is high, but the cost of changing business segments is higher, especially when it means spending $30,000 to $50,000 for a specialized trailer. Sometimes a better choice, particularly for independents, is to step up self-promotion to current and potential shippers and brokers.
OOIDA's Spencer notes a drawback. "Oftentimes, when freight is really terrible, it isn't especially productive for small carriers to call shippers direct that they haven't done business with before – the theory being, 'I'm going to avoid the middleman.' Even if you offer the shipper a lower rate, they still don't use you because they're unsure of the level of service."
An operator's best marketing approach today, Spencer says, might be "to develop a relationship with a shipper that they're already servicing in one way or another – either because they're leased through a carrier or they got that load through a broker … The shipper actually sees that you are the service provider."
Show commitment to your customer
St. Pete Beach, Fla., owner-operator Joe Cicciaro relies on an account he's had for four years, hauling Texas beef to Florida and delivering tomatoes in season to San Antonio. In late summer and fall, he'll spend five to six months hauling produce from California into Texas.

Jugs Instant Screen
by buddyfelix ,Jul 19 '04
Pros: Portable Stable Useful
Cons: Wears if left in the elements for extended periods of time.
This screen is an excellent screen for any player of any age. I use it for hitting from the tee and soft toss. It never tips over and is very sturdy. It also is good for throwing into. Since it is foldable it stores easily and is perfect to take to the field for batting practice before the game. Works well but should not be left in the elements. Too much heat and rain and eventualy the screen well start to show some wear, but otherwise good.

"This is the best guiness in London - Period." in 4 reviews
Great little local Irish pub. Not in the O' Neils or Waxy O' Conner sense but more like a pub you'd stumble into in Ireland.
It's the staff and clientele that make this place what it is; friendly, laid back, fun, cosy, great live music and the guinness isn't half bad either;-)
There's a garden out the back too- good for summer!
Oh and they sell Tayto crisps! woooop!
Defo recommend!
This is the best guiness in London - Period.
If that's your drink, then thats probably good enough reason for a visit - if not....lets see ....into a bit of David Bowie? How about the Bowie nights on Thursdays - it's an amazing re-visit of Bowie - with bowie burgers, and music and videos from the great man himself - how cool is this place!
When I'm feeling nostalgic for a Celtic vibe, I come down here. Its perfectly situated, on a corner of a cobblestone alley, small and inconspicuous on the outside other than the bright gold lettering spelling out the motif. Its not too crowded and has that dark cozy pub feel where you could get happily sloshed without having a lot of nobs hit on you.
Its full of atmosphere, and it takes my back to undergrad years in Scotland. Thankfully its not as cold in London, which means you can sit outside in the beer garden a couple of months in a year. The joys of expatriation!
So for some reason I was terrified of walking into this place. Don't ask me why, I thought it just seemed like the kind of genuine Irish pub where a fight could break out at anytime. Anyway, I soon realised that there was nothing to be scared of.
This small place is a real gem that I am really happy about discovering. It is a small bar that provides a bit of escapism by taking you out of London, and into Ireland. It is such a good feeling when a pub can do that.
The location is perfect, as Church Street is full of genuine shops, bars and cafes that reject tackiness and any kind of cheap imitations of culture.
Guiness poured properly. Cosy interior. Nice garden out back. Few/easily ignored televisions. Bowie night.
It's a great pub. If you're in the area and thirsty it's worth a stop.
'Off the leash and on the lash'
Thats what it says above the eves of one of the elongated, corridor-like rooms in the Auld Shillelagh. It should probably also mention something about some of the best, most reliable pints of Guinness in London.
This is my favourite for watching sports, particularly Ireland football games, or any of the big all-Ireland Gaelic football matches during late summer. There's nothing to compare to the atmosphere of a load of well-soaked sixty-year old Kerrymen leap into the air as one, simultaneously bellowing and hugging you like their long-lost son.
Doesn't sound like fun? Did I mention the Guinness? There's a beer garden too.
I don't know what makes a pub "Irish" but I like this place.
Very long and narrow pub, friendly staff, decent sized garden, not the prettiest place but you don't really come here for the view. Ive walked by this place packed to the gills on a friday night with live traditional irish music blasting from a corner in the back.
I shall try to make my way in there one friday before it gets too busy and enjoy the mayhem, music and guinness.
Random: the toilets look clean but they reeeeek.
This small Irish pub has a lot of charm to it....and would have a lot more if it wasn't for the impossible to avoid TV screens (unless the weather allows you out back!). The service could speed up a lot too!
First impressions slightly ruined..basically.
One of the best Irish pubs in London, genuine, local and friendly. Doesn't look much from the outside but has real character inside, especially when it's a bit lively of an evening. I find Stoke Newington Church Street hideously middle-class and this is one of the few places left with a genuine feel about it.
Plus, as many others have said, the guinness tastes better than anywhere else in town.
Stoke Newington is very much a "London village." Perhaps this is because it is slightly isolated by a lack of transport links. Anyway, the benefits of this are manifest in a variety of pubs and restaurants. Amongst the pubs The Auld Shillelagh is one of the more defiantly local of the pubs.
Situated on Church Street The Auld Shillelagh is a proper Irish pub. As opposed to the almost offensively contrived O'Neills bars it feels genuine with actual Irish people drinking here. During the day this narrow pub can be dominated by the sport on the screen at the end of the bar, which can mean it has a slightly rough feel. In the evening the crowd changes and seems to represent a cross section of the slightly odd mix of people in Stoke Newington: artsy-hipsters, eco-yummy mummies mixing with Irish locals all usually having a good time.
The Auld Shillelagh can be a good night out, and if its not looking too hot there are plenty of other good shouts on Church Street. Ideal if you're an Irish expat in London and feeling a little homesick.
The Auld Shillelagh is a great Irish pub tucked well away in Stoke Newington. Although it looks small from the outside, inside it is well laid out with a fanatastic warm irish feeling when you step inside.
I throughly recommend this pub if you want some genuine Irish hospitality.
OK, this has to be the smallest Irish pub in London. It's TINY and if you walk a bit too fast down Church Street you might just miss it!
However, once you squeeze in the front door you will find a lovely proper boozer with terrific staff who will make you feel welcome.
There is always good music playing in here, whether it's over the stereo or if you are lucky you will catch some genuine Oirish musicians having a jam session. You'll be tapping your feet away in no time!
There is a great beer garden out the back to wander into in the summer, and they sometimes do barbeques.
This Irish boozer on Stoke Newington Church Street might seem like the smallest pub in London, but its actually just very narrow! Head past the bar and there's a fair amount of seating plus a beer garden thats open in the summer.
Come to this pub if you want a properly poured pint of Guiness, which is pulled lesuirely and delivered to your table when ready.
Theres a plasma tv at the back of the pub which shows sports (especially Irish sports).
Nice pub with lots of character - worth a visit!
A ramshackled Irish bar which has a surprisingly young, cool crowd especially at the weekends and on Thursdays in the Summer months when they have a Bowie Barbeque with diamond hot dogs. The beer garden out back is quite small but has a good amount of tables, so if you happen to find a nice enough day, it is a lovely place to have a pint.
Smells funny, is small and narrow, but got bags of charm. I enjoy going on Saturdays when they often have live music.
Very small very authentic pub that has theme nights (sinatra, bowie) and the best st patrick's day celebration ever (just don't keep saying he was english or they'll do ya). Free food on the day, lots of music in the garden out the back. Great Guinness. Lots of character.
The Shillelagh is super fine! It's got PROPER guiness! Proper drunks! A Garden in back where you can catch a barbecue on a nice day, and often you'll find some sweet and / or wild Irish music being played by a bunch of very talented local musicians. I never liked traditional Irish music 'til i came in here one evening. If you're totally boring there's a telly with sports, but why on earth would you want to watch that when you could be having a proper conversation over a guiness or flinging someone around in Joyous abandon? (taking care not to knock anyone over, of course, it's a rather narrow pub)

As I sit here typing this, I'm reminded of the fact that I should be about three-quarters of the way through Porcupine Rim about now. You see, I had a Moab biking trip planned since last spring. Then one of my buddies--and the organizer of the trip, as it were--decided to go out and get in over his head at the bike park a couple weeks ago. He ate dirt, broke his collarbone, and now I'm sitting here working instead of enjoying views of the Castle Valley.
So, when I read the video header "Epic Bike Fail" on this very day, I knew I'd have to post it in his honor. This one's for you, Dave!
(Oh yeah, and it's a pretty epic fall-n-flip that just happens to be located in Utah.)
