Plot Summary: Solo (Souléymane Sy Savané) is a hard-working, gregarious Senegalese immigrant driving a taxi to support his pregnant wife and young stepdaughter. One night, a gruff 70-year-old named William (Red West, of Elvis's Memphis Mafia fame) gets in his cab and offers Solo a job: in two weeks' time he wants Solo to drive him to Blowing Rock, a jagged mountain peak where the wind mythically blows upward toward the sky. Solo comes to understand William's plan, and compassionately charms his way into the older man's life – becoming his personal driver, introducing him to his family, and revealing his dream of becoming a flight attendant. Yet even as they form a unique bond, William keeps his own past and motivations secret. When Solo tries to intervene and investigate, William angrily sends him away. As the days dwindle and the journey to Blowing Rock draws nearer, Solo agonizes over how best to help his friend, whatever the cost.

HAN SOLO sits idly under a knotty tree in the swamp. He is casually throwing sticks
for CHEWBACCA who bounds after them, tongue lolling out and tail wagging.
I sure hope that Jedi remembers to come back and get
us. He was supposed to be here hours ago!
Chewbacca, with a stick in his mouth, looks at Han Solo quizzically and wags his
tail. He drops the stick at Han Solo's feet.
I know I shouldn't be bothering you with my worries.
You have no conception as to what's going on in this
damn galaxy, do you boy?
(picks up the stick)
Atta boy. Let's keep ourselves amused until that Jedi
decides to come back here and get us, okay?
Han Solo throws the stick, and Chewbacca bounds after it. Halfway to his
destination, Chewbacca's back legs give in beneath him and he falls to the ground,
squealing. Han Solo jumps up and runs over to check on him.
What's the matter, buddy? Oh my goodness... you're
molting again.
We see a series of montage shots of Han Solo being caring and motherly. He brings
Chewbacca water and bits of rubbish to eat. He pets him. Intercut with his montage
are special effects shots- Chewbacca's muscles develop. His paws turn to crude
hands. From behind, we see him stand upright.
You're growing up so fast, buddy. I can't believe it.
Three years old and you're already an Ewok!
Chippy chirpy!
I'd better enjoy these days while you're still little
enough to cuddle, Chewy. Before I know it you'll be a
Wookie and then it'll be all business.
Han Solo tenderly hugs Chewbacca. A tear rolls down his cheek as Chewy purrs and
trills contentedly.
This isn't about harassment. It's about ethics in cat journalism.
Can you please give Golgura a trophy? How about Tallest Monster? I speak not for Golgura now. He is stepping on us villagers out of anger. In his wisdom he has flattened my son.
Fashion SWAT returns at long last to expose the torment of man's second best friend.
Who would want to be a beautiful, voluptuous lady, clad in red strip-string, dancing the night away?
'Xenophobe' is a word invented to describe people who are terrified by these creatures from 'Alien.'

ATLANTA, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Forget the sunscreen, magazines and guide books, new research released today by InterContinental® Hotels Group (IHG) reveals that of more than 10,000 travelers across 13 countries worldwide, the must-have item for a vacation is your smartphone.
According to the research by IHG® Rewards Club, nearly 40 percent of travelers agree that their smartphone is the most important item to take on vacation - and 67 percent agree that they will use it every single day. As a result, 1 in 10 travelers clock an impressive average of 70 hours online while on vacation - almost 20 percent of the actual time spent on a two-week vacation.
IHG® Rewards Club is the first and largest hotel loyalty programme in the world, with nearly 80 million members worldwide. IHG is one of the world's leading hotel companies, with over 4,700 hotels around the world and a family of nine trusted hotel brands.
IHG® Rewards Club members are IHG's most valued guests. In line with its aim of rewarding them for their loyalty, it surveyed more than 10,000 of its members worldwide in order to gain further insight into their relationships with their loyalty program and to learn more about their travel needs.
The survey found that the smartphone is fast replacing the traditional postcard with 64 percent of respondents saying they use it to text friends and another 32 percent to Skype friends and family back home, while on vacation. However, recounting vacation experiences with friends and family still remains one of the most enjoyable ways of sharing a vacation, with one in ten travelers saying this is as enjoyable as the vacation itself.
Planning a vacation is, nearly, half the fun - (45 percent) of all travelers say it is the best part of a vacation and more than a third (37 percent) spend over a day researching a vacation.
Susanna Freer-Epstein, Senior Vice President Customer Loyalty Marketing, IHG said:
"IHG is a brand and consumer driven company. We use insight to anticipate consumer trends and behavior. This research shows how mobile technology is revolutionizing the holiday experience – from enabling travelers to dream about and plan their holidays, to helping enjoy the trip itself and share their experiences with their friends and family."
The survey also uncovered that 42 percent of travelers check social media every day while on vacation, with 25 percent of them even saying they always check Facebook before going to sleep. Taking selfies is also increasingly becoming one of the most popular ways to share vacation experiences, with 25 percent of travelers surveyed saying they use their smartphones for vacation selfies.
As part of the global survey, IHG® Rewards Club has launched a digital hub at www.ihgrewardsclub.com/rewardingexperiences. It showcases the experiences available to nearly 80 million members worldwide – from a cultural experience at some of the world's most famous museums, to a special family celebration or a once in-a-lifetime relaxing spa experience. It includes reviews from members and global travelers from all around the world.
IHG® Rewards Club offers advantages that no other hotel company can match including; free guest Internet for all IHG® Rewards Club members worldwide, across the IHG brand family and no blackout dates on Reward Nights - a loyalty program purposefully designed to see the customer win.
Additionally, as of July 1st 2014, members earn more IHG® Rewards Club points when they stay at any of the 180 InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts worldwide. For every $1USD spent on qualifying revenue during stays, such as food and beverage, these members will now earn ten IHG® Rewards Club points.
Visit www.ihgrewardsclub.com/rewardingexperiences to learn more about IHG® Rewards Club rewards and experiences and to reveal your traveller type.
The top ten uses of smartphones by vacation makers are:
- Checking work emails – 68%
- Navigation / Maps – 67%
- Texting – 64%
- Taking vacation photos – 51%
- Making calls – 42%
- Snapping pictures of meals – 35%
- Updating Facebook / Twitter – 32%
- Skype-ing friends/family – 32%
- Playing games – 27%
- Taking selfies – 25%
IHG® Rewards Club conducted global research with 10,159 IHG® Rewards Club members across 13 countries.

American Railcar posts record $24 million Q4 profit
Send this to a friend

- Associate Editor- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
American Railcar Industries officials said the company's fourth-quarter net earnings set a quarterly record, jumping to $24.4 million compared with $5.1 million in the prior-year quarter.
In the quarter ended Dec. 31, the company posted revenue of $207.7 million, up nearly 6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and its highest quarterly revenue since the third quarter of 2008, company officials said.
The recent quarter's increase was due mainly to higher revenue in American Railcar's manufacturing and leasing segments. Fourth-quarter revenue in the company's manufacturing segment grew 14 percent to $236.5 million, and its leased segment revenue jumped to $5.1 million from $427,000 in the prior-year quarter.
"The shipments for tank railcars remained strong, which provided us with a favorable sales mix during the quarter," James Cowan, president and CEO, said in a statement. "Strong tank railcar volumes generated operational leverage and efficiencies that were partially offset by lower shipments of hopper railcars." The company's railcar shipments in the recent quarter totaled about 2,000, including 390 railcars to leased customers.
For full-year 2012, American Railcar posted record net income of $63.8 million compared with net income of $4.3 million in 2011. The company's revenue rose 37 percent from 2011 to top $711.7 million last year.
In all of 2012, American Railcar Industries Inc. (Nasdaq: ARII) shipped about 7,880 railcars, of which about 2,100 went to leasing customers, putting shipments last year 51 higher than the approximately 5,230 railcars shipped during 2011, of which roughly 350 went to leasing customers.
In addition to designing and manufacturing hopper and tank railcars, St. Charles-based American Railcar Industries leases, repairs and refurbishes railcars; provides fleet management services; and designs and manufactures railcar components.

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Diseases and Disorders
Title: Corona de Cristo, guest or pest?
Answered by: Damon Waitt
QUESTION:We have had two recent speakers at the Austin Butterfly Forum with differing views as to whether Passiflora foetida is invasive in Texas. One believes that it's well-behaved and a a great butterfly plant; the other says that it should never be planted because it is highly aggressive. I assume there's some truth in both viewpoints. Can you provide any information about the conditions under which it is invasive?
According to the USDA Plants Database, Passiflora foetida is both native and introduced to the continental United States. It can be also be found in northern South America and the West Indies and in South East Asian countries like Vietnam and on Hawaii. The Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) lists Passiflora foetida as a perennial herbaceous vine that originated from tropical America, and is now a pantropic weed climbing over low vegetation on roadsides and in other disturbed places, especially in the tropics. Because it forms a dense ground cover, it can prevent or delay the establishment of other species. It favors wet areas and disturbed sites but can tolerate arid conditions. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council lists it as an invasive plant.
In conclusion, if you are willing to manage its aggressive vegetative growth and properly dispose of any fruits that form, you will find it is an excellent larval host plant for the Gulf Fritillary. It seems more likely that it would be more agressive in the tropical environs from which it originated than in the dry climate of Austin, Texas.

Central Bank Expects CPI to Peak in April
(Beijing) – An official from the People's Bank of China, the central bank, said China's consumer price index is expected to peak at 5.5 percent in April, then fall back to around 4 percent by the end of this year.
April CPI was widely expected to peak in June or July at 7 percent before the central bank's prediction.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said earlier in a government work report that the primary task in the government's economic policy for 2011 is maintaining price stability. The government has set a goal to keep CPI at 4 percent.

Cha-Ching! Mariah Carey already has some potential moneymakers on her hands in the form of her young twins Monroe and Moroccan Cannon.
According to National Enquirer reports, "Dem Babies' are bound for careers in front of the camera:
The celeb couple's 16-month-old twins, Monroe ("Roe") and Moroccan ("Roc"), have been flooded with big-dollar modeling offers since their proud mama started posting their pictures online. She even launched a website for them – naming it Dem Babies, her nickname for the darling duo.
"Mariah can't help herself," said a source. "She loves showing off her incredibly cute son and daughter. She thinks they have that special star quality."
And it seems that talent agents agree! "Mariah and Nick's twins are hot commodities in the modeling world," the source continued. "Luxury brands are eager to sign up the babies for upcoming ad campaigns, and at least two big modeling agencies have approached Mariah and Nick about locking their twins into a lucrative contract."
Right now, Grammy winner Mariah, 43, and "America's Got Talent" host Nick, 31, are looking at the options and debating whether they even want their munchkins following in their footsteps.
Nick has previously stated that he'd rather his children NOT pursue showbiz careers. "I just want them to strive for something greater than entertainment," he said. "I'm one of those believers in teachers, professors, heart surgeons – that's what I'm rooting for. If I could get a scientist, that would be amazing."
But, adds the source: "Mariah is the boss in the family – and if she wants Roc and Roe to model, then Nick will go along with her decision."
We can't see how Mariah would even have time to help her kids cultivate their modeling career with a busy career of her own to manage, but if she has the help they should definitely do it. It's a no brainer.

This article is part of the Roamin' Dad series.
Dear Valued Former Tenant,
In regards to your latest letter, we have consulted with our attorneys, and we have concluded that you will absolutely not be receiving your full deposit of $600 back. Not now, not ever. Far too much damage has occurred to the property, and the threatening photos you enclosed of yourself giving rude gestures did not help your case.
The "cat ecosystem" you mentioned (which we not only had to dismantle, but first hose out) cost the entirety of your deposit to repair. Not to mention the other things we'd found upon further inspection:

Small landlords feeling squeezed out of rental market
If you ask April Stewart whether she'd recommend the life of a small landlord, she'd probably try and discourage you, at least in Ontario.
|Report an Error

If you ask April Stewart whether she'd recommend the life of a small landlord, she'd probably try and discourage you, at least in Ontario.
A former property owner herself and a paralegal based in Barrie, who represents landlords trying to evict bad tenants, Stewart is also a member of the Ontario Landlords Association, a group representing small landlords who says they are feeling the pinch thanks to landlord/tenant laws that favour tenants.
"When I see someone, usually the problem has gotten pretty out of hand," she says. "We're actually encouraging people who are thinking about becoming landlords to spend their money in another province; it's too scary here," says Stewart. "I tell folks who call me and say they're thinking about becoming a landlord that unless you can afford to carry that house and that tenant for a minimum of six months without it affecting your finances at all, do not do it. "
Stewart and other members of the OLA recently met with MPP Mike Colle and senior members of the Ministry of Housing to present their concerns. Primarily, they say, the current Residential Tenancies Act and Landlord and Tenant Board are prejudiced against landlords and favour tenants' rights.
The OLA, which is a province-wide educational and networking group for landlords with six or less units, presented Colle and the ministry representatives with a top 10 list of issues of most concern to small landlords on Feb. 17.
"We shared with the Ministry of Housing the items that came from some polling we did on the Ontario Landlords Association website ( www.ontariolandlord.ca). Where do they feel they are getting burned?" she says. "One glaring example is that it's $45 for a tenant to take a landlord to court but it's $170 for a landlord to take a tenant to court. Why? The prejudice is right at the counter when you're filing. There's a built-in assumption that landlords have all the money and tenants have none."
Other issues include the OLA's request for a return to damage deposits, a firm no pets clause in leases, the ability for landlords to search a prospective tenant's history at the Landlord Tenant Board and the fact prior evictions are not admissible in current eviction proceedings. The OLA has also asked for the nine regional Landlord Tenant Board offices that closed in 2008 be re-opened.
The OLA's website demonstrates the frustration of small landlords — it's help forum has had over 40,000 posts in 18 months.
"I think the government and the ministry need to understand that we're not interested in taking rights away from anybody; we just want some equity in this legislation and before the board. If there are this many stories, and if I'm this busy in my practice, it suggests there is a problem here and landlords aren't getting a fair shake," she says.
An area the OLA is studying is the number of evictions and failure to pay related to tenants receiving assistance from Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program.
"I went through my 2010 eviction cases and separated what were tenants on support and $118,000 of rent arrears were with landlords who will never recover that money because they were folks on assistance who you can't collect from them," says Stewart.
Stewart, who is a single mother and a renter herself, says small landlords can't afford to go through the appeal process with tenants who default on their rent. The process can often drag on in court for six to eight months, even longer.
"The small landlords can't afford this happening to them. By the time they get through the eviction process and pay for someone to help them and not have the rent come in, it's not a financially viable system. A landlord with fewer than 10 units can't afford it and emotionally they can't afford it," says Stewart.
Small landlords represent about 40 per cent of the affordable rental housing stock in Ontario. But that is starting to diminish, says Stewart, as property owners find it increasingly difficult to find good tenants. As someone who represents landlords when they're having a problem evicting a tenant, she admits she sees the worst. The economy has also played a role in changing the landscape for property owners, she notes.
"I was a landlord in the 1990s in Barrie when the vacancy rate was next to nothing, but things have changed. The economy has changed, interest rates have driven good tenants, who have their financial act together, into home ownership. We're often left with a less than savory pool of tenants to choose from," she says.
Stewart says the OLA was "unofficially invited back" to speak to the Ministry of Housing in six months. At the same time, tenant groups are pushing for the province to provide greater rights to tenants over issues regarding repairs to buildings and the problem of bed bugs. But the OLA says the current laws in Ontario were created to protect tenants from large corporate landlords running huge buildings, not small business people renting a few units with few resources behind them.

I think you have to have the license for the other stations because they all use the same antennas so part of the licensing goes to maintaining the antennas (I /think/)

When it comes to 1 million frozen embryos, what is ethical?
Paul Sancya, Associated Press
The writer Paul Ford recently penned a first-person essay for Elle magazine with the headline "Determining the Fate of Frozen Embryos: Do You Know Where Your Children Are?"
"No one knows exactly how many embryos are out there, in liquid nitrogen," Ford wrote. "The low-end estimate is hundreds of thousands in the United States, but some people say as many as a million. It's a pretty good business (that) could come to something like $600 million a year in freezing."
After having twins, Ford and his wife struggled to decide what to do with the two frozen embryos they still had "on ice." Ford outlined several options they considered: keep the embryos frozen (at a cost of $1,200 per year), destroy them, try to have more children, donate the fertilized eggs to scientific research or anonymously donate the embryos to an infertile woman.
In 2003 the global policy think tank RAND Corporation estimated that, as of 2002, "a total of 396,526 embryos have been placed in storage in the United States."
Building off the RAND data, a 2006 article in Mother Jones magazine attempted to forecast the eventual impact of so many frozen embryos.
"This embryo glut is forcing many people to reconsider whatever they thought they thought about issues such as life and death and choice and reproductive freedom," Liza Mundy wrote for Mother Jones. " And so, far from going away, the accumulation of human embryos is likely to grow, and grow, and grow. And in growing, the embryo overstock is likely to change — or at least complicate — the way we collectively think about human life at its earliest stages, and morally what is the right thing to do with it."
The PBS program "Religion & Ethics Newsweekly" dedicated a 2010 segment to the ethical controversy around donating human embryos to stem cell research. In that report, Harvard Medical School ethics professor Louis Guenin and Richard Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops advocated and opposed, respectively, such research.
Louis Guenin, Harvard Medical School ethicist: "It's a biological fact that those embryos outside of a womb can't mature beyond about two weeks. Knowing that, we have to take account for moral purposes of the duty of beneficence, the duty to come to the aid of those who suffer if we can do so without unreasonable burden."
Richard Doerflinger, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: "We are talking here about life, about a human life at a very, very early and undeveloped stage, but human life nonetheless. When we are talking about stem cell research, we are talking about a way to destroy that life, cut it off at a certain stage for the benefit for others. We think that's wrong to do that."

Here's a story that proves small town Lions clubs can follow big dreams — and achieve them!
The Lions Club of tiny Whitianga, New Zealand, population 4,000, has already raised over $160,000 since Christmas 2013 toward the purchase of an X-Ray machine for the benefit of the residents of the Mercury Bay area. The total population for the greater Mercury Bay area is around 5,000. The area is so remote that injured people often must travel over an hour by ambulance through winding roads to Thames Hospital, or over two hours to Waikato Hospital just to be examined.
The Club has now raised its fundraising goal to $220,000 to also cover the costs of installation and operation of the greatly needed equipment.
The new equipment will provide immediate X-Ray exams using the latest digital technology, and will allow specialists at Waikato to identify and diagnose what further action is required. This can help prevent many lengthy ambulance trips in the area.
The club has sponsored numerous fundraisers, including a recent fish auction. Local businesses and organizations have joined in sponsoring their own fundraisers including everything from cake sales to Glass Bottom Boat rides, musical Concerts, art fairs, quilting shows, donations of shuttle rides, carpet cleaning, and significant donations from clubs and individuals.
During the weeks since Christmas 2013, the Lions Club of Whitianga have been featured in every issue of the local papers for their community service. This great publicity has generated an interest in a number of local citizens to express interest in joining this successful club.
No matter how big or small your club is or where you are located, you can make a difference. Get the word out about your club's mission, service projects and events, and get your entire community involved! Use one of our Sample Press Releases to make an announcement through your local newspaper.

When Helen Keller named Lions "Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness," Lions responded by making it our mission to serve blind and vision-impaired people everywhere. Today, we're still known for our sight services — eyeglass recycling in particular. May is Recycle for Sight Month, and we encourage your club to participate and raise awareness about eyeglass recycling in your community.
Many people often wonder how Lions eyeglass recycling works. The video above features a vision mission trip to Puerto Vallarta, organized by the Fargo Lions Club, and does a great job of explaining how eyeglasses are collected, sorted and distributed. The process begins with a simple eyeglass collection box, and ends with hundreds of eyeglasses given to children and adults in need.
How is your club participating in Recycle for Sight Month? To start a Recycle for Sight program in your community, see our list of Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers, and download our Club Guide for Collecting Used Eyeglasses.

Or in my case last week in the Netherlands, the tulips!

Thank you, Lions!

The doc wasn't concerned when I mentioned it last week, but she was more occupied with checking for pre-e (I'm clear!) because I'd been having headaches and vision disturbances, so we didn't really get to talk about it much: I have a pain that comes and goes in a very small spot in my lower left abdomen - very low, almost where the crease in my hip is when I'm sitting. It doesn't seem to be related to my movement or to any sort of strain, and it just sort of throbs, sometimes dully and sometimes sharply. Could this be round ligament pain returning? It feels different from the round ligament pains I was having before, but I know that area in particular has been stretching a lot (right above there is where I've gotten the most stretch marks). What do you guys think? Obviously I'll be asking my doctor about it again at the next appt, but wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar.

Having the same thing on my right side. Doc told me I may have pulled or strained the ligament. But she said it was okay as I had my growth scan showing baby and everything was fine.
