The newsletter usually accorded primacy as a definite newspaper is the Relation of Strasbourg, first printed in 1609 by Johann Carolus. A close rival is the Avisa Relation oder Zeitung (Zeitung is the German word for "newspaper"), founded in the same year by Heinrich Julius, duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel. In 1605, in the Low Countries, Abraham Verhoeven of Antwerp had begun publication of the Nieuwe Tijdingen, although the earliest surviving copy is dated 1621. In any case, this historical rivalry is evidence of a fairly sudden demand for newspapers at the start of the 17th century, and the continuous publication of the Nieuwe Tijdingen indicates that this demand soon became well-established. Although these publications were emerging throughout western Europe, it was the Dutch, with their advantageous geographical and trading position, who pioneered the international coverage of news through their "corantos," or "current news." The Courante uyt Italien, Duytsland, & C., began to appear weekly or twice-weekly in 1618.
Similar rudimentary newspapers soon appeared in other European countries: Switzerland (1610), the Habsburg domains in central Europe (1620), England (1621), France (1631), Denmark (1634), Italy (1636), Sweden (1645), and Poland (1661). English and French translations of Dutch corantos were also available. But signs of official intolerance emerged fairly soon, and censorship stifled newspaper development in the late 17th century and into the 18th century in continental Europe. In Paris in 1631, the Nouvelles Ordinaires de Divers Endroits, a publishing venture by the booksellers Louis Vendosme and Jean Martin, was immediately replaced by an officially authorized publication, La Gazette, published under the name of Théophraste Renaudot but with influential backing by Cardinal de Richelieu. The new publication was to continue (as La Gazette de France) until 1917, casting the shadow of authority over nonofficial newspapers throughout its life. The first French daily--Le Journal de Paris--was not started until 1777; and although the Revolution of 1789 brought a temporary upsurge in newspaper publishing, with 350 papers being issued in Paris alone, the return to monarchy brought another clampdown. Napoleon I had his own official organ-- Le Moniteur Universel, first published by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke (one of a family of booksellers and writers) in 1789 and lasting until 1869--and there were only three other French newspapers.
In Germany, early newsletter development was soon hampered by the Thirty Years' War (1618-48), with its restrictions on trade, shortage of paper, and strict censorship. Even in peacetime censorship and parochialism inhibited the German press. Among the important regional newspapers were the Augsburger Zeitung (1689), the Vossische Zeitung in Berlin (1705), and the Hamburgische Correspondent (1714). In Austria the Wiener Zeitung was started in 1703 and is considered to be the oldest surviving daily newspaper in the world. The oldest continuously published weekly paper is the official Swedish gazette, the Post-och inrikes tidningar, begun in 1645. Sweden is also notable for having introduced the first law (in 1766) guaranteeing freedom of the press, but the concept of an independent press barely existed in most of Europe until the middle of the 19th century, and until then publishers were constantly subject to state authority.
Between the abolition of the Star Chamber in 1641 and the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1649 publishers enjoyed a short spell of freedom from strict official control. Publication of domestic news began to appear more regularly, shedding the original book form. News and headlines increasingly replaced the old title page. The Civil Wars (1642-51) acted as a stimulus to reporters and publishers, and 300 distinct news publications were brought out between 1640 and 1660, although many of these were only occasional reports from the battle front, such as Truths from York or News from Hull. The names of some contemporary publications, like the Intelligencers, Scouts, Spys, and Posts, reflected the bellicosity of the times, but the Mercurys still abounded, including the propaganda papers Mercurius Academicus (Royalist) and Mercurius Britannicus (Parliamentarian). The Parliamentarian victory brought strict control of the press from 1649 to 1658, and the restored monarchy was even more absolute, with the press being restricted to just two official papers. During the period of the Licensing Act (1662-94), an official surveyor of the press was given the sole privilege of publishing newspapers. The Revolution of 1688 produced a return to more permissive publishing laws and the first provincial presses were set up, starting with the Worcester Post Man (1690) and, in Scotland, the first Edinburgh Gazette (1699), although the British press was to remain principally a national one, centred on Fleet Street in London. Appearing briefly was Lloyd's News (1696), issuing from Edward Lloyd's coffeehouse, which had become a centre of marine insurance. The subsequent Lloyd's List and Shipping Gazette (from 1734), with its combination of general and shipping news, exemplified both the importance of the City of London's financial activities to the newspapers and the importance of a reliable and regular financial press to business.
In the early years of the 18th century the British newspaper was approaching its first stage of maturity. After 1691, improvements in the postal system made daily publication practical, the first attempt at doing so being the single-sheet Daily Courant (1702-35), which consisted largely of extracts from foreign corantos. A more radical departure was the triweekly Review (1704-13), produced by Daniel Defoe, in which the writer's opinion on current political topics was given, introducing the editorial, or leading article. Defoe had been imprisoned, in 1702, for his pamphlet "The Shortest Way with Dissenters," but many eminent British writers were being attracted to the newspapers. Henry Muddiman had gained eminence as the "journalist" who edited the London Gazette (from 1666). John Milton had edited the Mercurius Politicus under Oliver Cromwell, and Sir Richard Steele and Joseph Addison, The Spectator (published daily 1711-12). The Spectator and The Tatler (triweekly, 1709-11, also written by Steele) are commemorated in the modern magazines of the same name (see below Magazine publishing), but their incorporation of social and artistic news and comment influenced the content of the contemporary newspaper permanently. Sales of the popular Spectator sometimes ran as high as 3,000 copies, and already this circulation level was enough to attract advertising. An excise duty on advertisements was introduced by the Stamp Act (1712), along with other so-called taxes on knowledge aimed at curbing the nascent power of the press. The rate of duty, at one penny on a whole sheet (four sides of print), was the same as the cover price of The Spectator, and this effective doubling of the price killed it, along with many other newspapers. But the newspaper had already become a permanent part of the social and literary life in London, and not even higher duties could prevent the proliferation of newspaper titles throughout the century.
Typical of the new breed of English papers was The Daily Advertiser (1730-1807), which offered advertising space along with news of a political, commercial, and social nature. An important gap in the political pages was filled from 1771, when the right to publish proceedings in Parliament had been granted. This right was not won lightly, for illicit accounts of debates in the House had appeared in the monthly Political State of Great Britain (1711-40) and every effort had been made to stop them. But campaigners such as the political reformer John Wilkes (with the North Briton, 1762) eventually won out. Politicians of both Whig and Tory sympathies ran their own often scurrilous newspapers or simply bribed journalists with occasional handouts and annual stipends, but later in the century there emerged a more sophisticated reader who demanded, and received, an independent viewpoint. Eminent newspapers of the time included the Morning Post (1772), The Times (from 1788, but started as the Daily Universal Register in 1785), and The Observer (1791), each of which is still published (although the Morning Post was later merged with the Daily Telegraph). Censorship continued in the guise of frequent libel prosecutions, and as late as 1810 the radical political essayist William Cobbett was imprisoned and fined for denouncing flogging in the army, but the principle of a free press, at least in peacetime conditions, had been firmly established.
The expense of employing a large team of reporters, some of whom could be out of the office for months, proved impossible for smaller papers, thus paving the way for the news agency. The French businessman Charles Havas had began this development in 1835 by turning a translation company into an agency offering the French press translated items from the chief European papers. His carrier-pigeon service between London, Paris, and Brussels followed, turning the company into an international concern that sold news items and that, eventually, also dealt in advertising space. Paul Julius Reuter, a former Havas employee, was among the first to exploit the new telegraphic cable lines in Germany, but his real success came in London, where he set up shop in 1851 as a supplier of overseas commercial information. Expansion soon led to the creation of the Reuters service of foreign telegrams to the press, an organization that grew with the spread of the British Empire to cover a large part of the world. In the United States, meanwhile, a very different type of agency--the newspaper cooperative--had arisen. Six New York City papers were the founding members; they suspended their traditional rivalries to share the cost of reporting the war with Mexico (1846-48) by establishing the New York Associated Press agency. Between 1870 and 1934, a series of agency treaties divided the world into exclusive territories for each major agency, but thereafter freedom of international operation was reinstated. The press agencies ensured a continuous supply of international "spot news"--i.e., the bare facts about events as they occur--and raised standards of objective news reporting. For their feature pages, American newspaper editors came to rely on the feature syndicates, which supplied ready-to-use material from medical columns and book reviews to astrological forecasts and crossword puzzles.
The character of a newspaper could change radically under a new owner or editor. In New York City, an individual stamp was put on the influential Evening Post by its scholarly editor, Parke Godwin. The New York Sun had started life in 1833 as the first of the inexpensive popular papers known as the "penny press," with its founder, Benjamin H. Day, successfully exploiting a vein of demand for inconsequential "human-interest" stories. Later, under Charles A. Dana (after 1868), the Sun rose in style and prominence. The New York Times (1851), long in the shadow of the more vigorous Herald and Tribune, struck an important and lasting blow for the independence of the press by exposing an attempted bribe of the Times' editor by Tammany Hall politician William Marcy ("Boss") Tweed; the reported $5,000,000 sum offered and rejected was an ample indication of the growing power of the press.
In 1836 the Stamp Tax was reduced to one penny, and in 1855 it was abolished entirely. This gradual relaxation of an impost on newspapers produced higher circulations for existing newspapers and encouraged the publication of new titles. Many were cheap, lurid crime sheets that disappeared as fast as they emerged. One exception was the sensational Sunday paper, the News of the World (1843), which attracted more readers than any other Sunday paper in Britain for more than a century. More characteristic of the age was the Daily Telegraph(1855), a penny paper, but one that competed directly with The Times by covering serious news stories and including thoughtful editorial comment on four sides of print, but at a quarter of the price of the fourpenny Times.
Disunity and political censorship continued to restrict the German press, although one independent daily, the Allgemeine Zeitung (Tübingen, 1798), managed to achieve wide influence. Farther north in Sweden, despite the freedom of speech granted to the press in 1766, the first notable newspaper (the Aftonbladet, founded by Lars Johan Hierta) was not begun until 1830.
Toward the middle of the century, censorship was abolished or relaxed in many other countries, including Switzerland (1848) and Denmark (1849). The new freedoms, together with the spread of literacy, gave birth to important newspapers, many of which still survive, including Le Figaro (Paris, 1854, daily from 1866), Frankfurter Zeitung (1856), Le Peuple (Brussels, date unknown), and the Corriere della Sera (Milan, 1876). In Spain and Portugal, censorship continued to prevent the development of true journalistic independence; any periods of comparative freedom were quickly followed by the reimposition of controls. In Russia strict censorship remained in force under the tsars, apart from a single decade (1855-65) of tolerance under Alexander II, when many new papers appeared. But limitations on publication were reimposed when it was found that greater freedom allowed radical ideas to be voiced, and the Russian press, like that in much of Europe, was forced to concentrate on literary rather than journalistic achievements.
The arrival of the U.S. naval officer Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853 was announced to the public in kawara-bans, which continued to be published for some years, though they began to be superseded by English-language newspapers. The first of these, the Nagasaki Shipping List and Advertiser (1861), was followed in the next five years by numerous periodicals, mainly translations produced by the shogunate Office for Reviewing Barbarian Papers. The office translated items from newspapers of China, Hong Kong, and the United States, as did Joseph Heko, a naturalized U.S. citizen and an interpreter at the American Embassy, in his monthly Kaigai shimbun (1865-66). The news items were therefore out of date, of little concern to the average Japanese, and too much resembling official announcements to be regarded as true newspapers. In 1867, however, the overthrow of the shogunate and the restoration of the Meiji led to the publication of more than a dozen newspapers concerned with domestic issues. Mainly issued by shogunate sympathizers, they included the Koko shimbun, whose publisher, the dramatist and educator Fukuchi Genichiro, had studied Western newspapers on his official travels abroad for the Japanese government (and who was later, in 1874, to preside over the Nichi-Nichi shimbun, which was closer to Western newspapers in style). The government soon suppressed these publications and promulgated the Newspaper Ordinance, which, in its 1871 version, decreed that the contents of a newspaper should always be "in the interest of governing the nation," a principle that was already anathema to many European and North American publishers.
Arrests of journalists and the supression of newspapers were common in the 1870s, but the decade nevertheless saw the birth of several giants of contemporary Japanese journalism. In 1870 the Yokohama Mainichi, the first daily in Japan, was started; it was also one of the first to use lead type. Two years later the Tokyo Nichi-Nichi appeared as one of the first truly modern Japanese newspapers, although it regarded itself as virtually an official gazette. The Yomiuri shimbun, one of the three leading national dailies in modern Japan, was founded in Tokyo in 1874, and it soon gained a reputation as a "literary" newspaper. The other two principal papers--the Osaka Nippo (1876) and the Osaka Asahi (1879)--were to become, respectively, the Osaka Mainichi and the Asahi shimbun (created in the early 1940s by a merger with the Tokyo Asahi, founded in 1888). They are associated with two of the fathers of modern Japanese newspaper publishing, Murayama Ryuhei (Asahi) and Motoyama Hikochi (Mainichi). Motoyama took full control of the Mainichi in 1903 and three years later added the Tokyo Nichi-Nichi to his publishing empire.
In other parts of the world a familiar cycle took place, with prohibition or strict censorship gradually giving way to the demand for a free press, although colonial governments long exercised an especially tight control on political publications. Canada had its first newspapers as early as the 18th century. These developed regionally and catered to both English and French speakers in Montreal, Quebec, and Toronto. Fine standards of journalism were later set by the Winnipeg Free Press (1872).
Parts of India also had an early service, with newsletters being circulated from the 16th century. Under British rule, both English- and vernacular-language papers flourished--the latter under government control--and enviable standards were set by The Times of India (1838, formerly the Bombay Times) and The Hindu (1878).
Several Australian titles date to the early years of settlement, notable ones being the Sydney Morning Herald (1831), the Melbourne Argus (1846), and The Age (1854). Full censorship lasted until 1824 and the stamp tax until 1830, but one title (The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser) was being published as early as 1803. The first issue of New Zealand's earliest newspaper, the New Zealand Gazette, was printed by emigrants even before their departure from London. The second issue awaited the installation of printing facilities in Wellington in 1840, when large-scale colonization was begun, but in the same year the New Zealand Advertiser was added to the list. The Taranaki Herald began publication in 1852.
In South Africa a press law was passed in 1828 to secure a modicum of publishing freedom, mainly through the efforts of the editor of the country's first paper, the South African Commercial Advertiser. Later papers, such as the Cape Argus (1857), were often tied to commercial and mining interests at first, but later their editors began to insist on freer commentary. The racially divided nature of the country has prevented, however, absolute freedom even in modern times. Similar restrictions continue to be applied to publishers in many other African and Asian countries, in eastern Europe, and in Latin America, although the political complexion of the various regimes may differ.

New vaccination now required for seventh graders
The Tunica County School District reminds all that a new vaccination will be mandatory for the 2012-2013 school year. Mississippi will join 41 other states in requiring a recent Tdap vaccination for all students entering the 7th grade.
Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination provides protection against whooping cough (pertussis), a highly contagious disease that can be severe or fatal, especially in very young children. Infants who are too young to be vaccinated against pertussis must be protected by ensuring that adolescents and adults around them cannot carry the disease.
Why vaccinate at this age?

The iPad is no longer a device for just young men, according to new data from Nielsen.

ScrollMotion, a 100-person, fast-growing New York City start-up, has developed an enterprise solution for publishers and companies to create unique, video-rich Apps for the Apple iOS and Android platforms.
Beet.TV sat down with co-founder Josh Koppel, who has an extensive background in motion graphics and video, to explain how his company is redefining the very notion of the moving image in digital media.
He explains how static images like photographs and instructional pages in textbooks become moving elements on the iPad and other devices. He also discusses the use of conventional video assets in Apps.
Some of the company's high profile customers include Hearst's Oprah and Esquire magazine, the Harry Potter Wizardry film App, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and the 2010 GE annual report. Several examples are included in this video.

Editions by AOL
The newest iPad magazine-like reader has just gone live in the App Store. It's pretty slick. I particularly like how the main page pulls in both your own personal calendar information and tells you whose birthday it is — and let's you post a message to their wall right from within the app.
And you can set the time that it gets built every morning, so the content is fresh for you to read first thing when you wake up. Very nice.
Note: Yes, I technically work for AOL. But hopefully you know that I wouldn't shill one of their products unless I actually thought it was good. Plus, it's free.
Forbes: "Non-forward-thinking types" no longer with us
Forbes approached its digital extension as a new business; treating Forbes.com as a "start up" which was to behave as a total separate entity. The team were housed in a different building and reported directly to Forbes, in order to avoid it becoming a subordinate product.
Moreover, Forbes totally rejected what he sensed was the way his print journalists used to look down on the digital hacks as though they were from a "trailer park". He says those 'non-forward-thinking types' have now exited Forbes Media and will soon leave every other organisation if they don't embrace digital.
The company also has a clear tablet strategy; it only launching apps which pick out themes from the magazine's content, such as investment, and provides useful tools centred around those topics – rather than reproducing the magazine in app form.
The two sides of the businesses - print and online - were then united in 2009.
Such fresh thinking and the prioritising of digital media by a 100-year old company should be applauded and mimicked.

How you deliver information does not have to rely upon one platform. Most of the content on Forbes.com is not from the magazine. Print allows you to delve into a story in a more thorough way than online. Online allows you to amplify the story and spur on another print story. Each of these platforms is different but each has its own unique characteristics for conveying information.

As things stand, if you buy a subscription to The New Yorker or Popular Science in the iTunes store, you will get a little dialogue box asking if it's all right if Apple shares some of your personal information with the publisher. Initially, publishers were worried, reasonably enough, that users would overwhelmingly say no. But they don't. In fact, about 50 percent opt in.
From TIME's Techland:
So why is it cheaper to buy the all-inclusive print and digital packages as opposed to digital only?
The answer's simple, really: it's in the advertising.
Though Online ad revenue reached a record-setting $26 billion last year — overtaking newspapers and second only to TV advertising — the print advertising industry is still incredibly lucrative. While the popularity of tablets is spreading like the plague, the actual penetration of iPads in relation to the entire potential market remains relatively small. Though actual figures aren't available yet, various reports estimate that up to 40 million iPads may ship in 2011. Sounds big on paper, but think about 40 million in relation to the much larger population of overall magazine subscribers. Tablets are expensive, and it'll be a few more years before they're more common than not.

Time Inc. strikes deal with Apple - print subscribers will get iPad editions free.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Starting Monday, subscribers to Sports Illustrated, Time and Fortune magazines will be able to access the iPad editions via the apps, which will be able to authenticate them as subscribers. Time Inc.'s People magazine already had such an arrangement, but readers of most publications have had to pay separately for the iPad version regardless of their subscriber status.

In Florida, it's no big deal seeing a crocodile lying around on a golf course. Florida people are used to that kind of stuff.
Some Florida people may have become a little too comfortable with the sight of giant predatory reptiles lazing around in the grass.
Giancarlo Stanton? What are you doing messing around with that crocodile???
Better question: Who is the fool holding the camera? At least Stanton is behind the croc. The other guy is right in front of it.
What if the croc gets ticked off? What if it doesn't want its picture taken? What if that's the Sean Penn of crocs?
Even if it's not ticked off and is just lying around there waiting for dinner to arrive, that's still a bad situation.
A wise old swamp guy in a fricking hovercraft once told me, never mess with an animal that only sees you as dinner.

Hey guys and gals, I have been creeping around these forums for some time now getting the latest info on updates and such. I figured its about time I actually registered haha. These forums seem to have the most mature (not that that says a lot haha) community of the GW forums.
A little info about me... I have been playing Guildwars since the beta weekends with a good friend of mine and we still play regularly. Me and my friend have a "guild" which is more like a tiny militia of 4 haha. We enjoy harassing other players any way possible, but with all humility of course. If you have ever been harassed by a group of 3 or 4 people at once, our guild likely had something to do with it!
Anyways, look forward to participating in discussions and the flaming of whiners haha!

Hey everybody Happy New Year, I know i've been somewhat inactive on this blog but starting next week I will be posting original comics with a few illustrations on the side. This illustration is based on chapter 24 of The DEAD AUTHORS podcast which an awesome podcast is hosted by HG Wells who is played by the great Paul F Tompkins. This podcast revolves around the idea that HG Wells travels throughout time searching for famous authors who he then brings to the present and interviews. What is amazing about this podcast is that not only do we get to peek into a mind of the authors crazy minds but most of the comedians who play the various authors come from great podcasts such as Comedy Bang Bang, Superego, and The Thrilling Adventure Hour.
As most of you can tell this is a Jersey Shore inspired illustration. What inspired me to create this Illustration was the way Jason Mantzoukas played Plato. This episode really cracked me up what was great about Mantzoukas's depiction of Plato was the dude/bro animal party animal vibe he adopted for Plato. The Germ of the idea to create this illustration came to me when I was listening to the episode I thought wouldn't it be great is there was a Jersey Shore type show but for the great thinkers with all of them partying and spewing philosophic thoughts ending in Bro and DTF and so it was born. Unlike other illustrations i've worked on it was easier to find Reference pics for this I chose to use an image from the opening titles of the show as inspiration. I aped the opening titles of the show to the T by placing Plato to the side of the illustration while placing smaller images of other actions that Plato did displayed right beside him just as they did in the show. I went so far as to also ape the style and atmosphere seen throughout out the show by using the instagram like filters and and Logo they use. When looking for reference for Plato what I decided to do was rather than try to look for scenes of his greatness use sculptures and paintings that depicted him and crop them in such a way that it seems there is more to the picture such as with the lower right picture where Plato is looking off pissed or the upper right where Plato seems to be talking to a friend. With the middle of the picture I decided to use the Parthenon in the background to give viewers who are not aware of PLATO some idea that he was at least a very important Greek Figure in history.

Michael Dunn trial costs totaled nearly $28K
Updated On: Feb 28 2014 05:51:19 PM EST
It costs more than $25,000 to house, feed and pay the jury for the two-week trial of Michael Dunn.
The Duval County Clerk of Courts released the numbers Friday afternoon, but totals for security, extra personnel costs and most other costs to the city were not included.
Hotel costs for the jury totaled $13,000, with more than $5,000 spent on meals.
SPREADSHEET: 'Extraordinary costs' of trial
The jury was not treated to gourmet meals, having dinner each night at the hotel restaurant and their lunches were either sandwiches (Pita Pit, Courthouse Cafe, Firehouse Subs) bar-b-que (Bono's and Sonny's) or pizza (two meals from Big Pete's Pizzaria).
The jurors themselves were paid about $7,300. The court also had about $1,600 in costs related to supplies, and overtime for the trial clerk.
That comes to a total of nearly $28,000.

Sri Lankan president defiant over human rights criticism
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa promised to push ahead with development while opening a Japanese funded highway here Saturday, reiterating he would not back down from international scrutiny over the country's human rights record, Xinhua reported.
The Outer Circular Highway, which includes several national and provincial roads and cost $184 million was primarily funded by the Japanese government through its development arm JICA.
Rajapaksa drove a bus on the new highway to declare it open before heading off to make a speech at an election rally close by. The opening comes just two weeks ahead of a western and southern provincial council election.
Recounting the challenges faced by Sri Lanka during three decade of war that ended in 2009, Rajapaksa said the numerous large scale infrastructure projects estimated at over $4 billion are aimed at "winning the hearts and the minds of the people".
Referring to a third US backed resolution before the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) which calls for greater reconciliation measures, Rajapaksa insisted that his new development strategy was aimed at bringing people of different communities together.
The Sri Lankan government is battling a US-led resolution before the UNHRC for failing to implement adequate reconciliation measures and investigate allegations of war crimes.
The resolution, which is the third consecutive one faced by the government insists Sri Lanka's human rights record has failed to improve since the conflict between the government and the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Eelam (LTTE) ended in 2009.
UN Human Rights chief Navi Pillay has also called for an international investigation into allegations of alleged war crimes in the last phase of the conflict. A vote on the resolution will take place March 28, a day ahead of local provincial elections.
Rajapaksa took the opportunity to criticise "tale carriers" of the government who are preparing to support the resolution in Geneva. Civil society organisations, activists and Tamil politicians are routinely slammed by the government for "betraying " the country.
"Even the international community against Sri Lanka admits there is great infrastructure improvement. No matter what resolution is passed on Sri Lanka we will never stop our march towards development," he said.

Teen Acne Treatment: Oral Medications
For moderate to severe cases, a dermatologist might recommend prescription acne medications taken by mouth instead of -- or in addition to -- topical treatments. Here are some of the types used.
Oral antibiotics. For more severe teen acne, daily antibiotics can help kill bacteria and reduce swelling. These drugs are typically prescribed for periods of six months or less. Over time, the bacteria may become resistant to a specific antibiotic. When that happens, the doctor may switch to a different drug.
The side effects of oral antibiotics depend on the medication, but they can cause problems like upset stomach, dizziness, skin color changes, and sun sensitivity. Tetracycline can yellow the teeth and affect bone formation, so it's not recommended for children under 14 or pregnant women. Doxycycline and minocycline are also not recommended for children under 14 or pregnant women.
Isotretinoin. This is a powerful drug in the retinoid group. It's used for severe or moderate acne that can't be controlled with other treatments. It reduces the amount of oil made by glands in the skin. It also curbs inflammation and reduces clogged hair follicles. Taking it for several months, once or twice a day, can clear most cases of acne.
The most common side effects are dryness of the skin, eyes, mouth, lips, and nose. Other side effects include nosebleeds, achiness, diminished night vision, sun sensitivity, and changes in triglyceride levels and liver function. Severe side effects of isotretinoin are very rare. Since it can cause serious birth defects, women should use two different forms of birth control when taking isotretinoin. People using isotretinoin might need periodic blood tests.
Many teens and their parents are concerned about the possible psychological effects of isotretinoin. What's the connection? Experts say that there have been a number of people using isotretinoin who had severe depression and attempted suicide. But no one knows whether the medicine was really the cause. The fact is that depression is more common in people with acne, regardless of the treatment.
Parents, if you notice that your son or daughter is having mood swings, seeming down or angry, or losing interest in friends or the things that he or she usually enjoys, schedule an appointment with the doctor.
Hormonal treatments. Some teen girls have acne that's linked to hormones called androgens. To treat this sort of acne, a doctor might recommend birth control pills or spironolactone. Side effects of hormonal treatments for acne include irregular periods, tender breasts, headaches, blood clots, high blood pressure, and fatigue.
Teen Acne: Tips for Prescription Acne Treatment
Take the acne treatment as prescribed. It's important to stick to the doctor's acne treatment. Make it a part of the daily routine. Leave the medicine out where you can see it, instead of tucking it away in a medicine cabinet. If it helps, use notes or alarms as reminders.

Winning brings attention in sports. Winning plus tradition, then multiplied by a passionate fan base increases that attention exponentially — sometimes, to the point of oversaturation.
A run of six World Series appearances in eight years and four championships over five years placed the New York Yankees atop Major League Baseball's pinnacle in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Right behind them were the Boston Red Sox. Their historic rivalry combined with their quality of play and several classic postseason encounters made them easy media darlings.
SEC football is the new Yankees/Red Sox — in more ways than one. Seven combined and consecutive BCS championships vs. six combined World Series titles. Both feature boisterous fan bases eager to assert their teams' dominance.
And now, college football media is adopting a similar strategy baseball that baseball media enacted in the mid-to-late 2000s by focusing primarily on one
Aaron Boone's home run, Pedro Martinez's head-toss of Don Zimmer and Dave Roberts' stolen base were catalysts for a boom. In turn, baseball media went all-in on the Yankees and Red Sox. Coverage of the two franchises exploded in the mid-2000s, including such excess as a five-game series in 2006, the duration of which was aired nationally.
Johnny Manziel's exploits, AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb, Nick Saban's Sith Emperor-like reign and soon, a Disney Corp.-funded, SEC-dedicated network are similar catalysts for the conference.
Much as it has the BCS championship, the SEC dominates media coverage. To the victor goes the spoils.
FOX Sports reportedly jumped on this trend with its unconfirmed hire of polarizing SEC blogger Clay Travis. The Big Lead reports anonymous sources have Travis joining the FOX studio team on college football Saturdays.
Others have made comparisons of Travis to ESPN fixture Bill Simmons, and it's a logical parallel to draw. Both built substantial followings through an easily relatable Everyman style. And through this lens, each benefited from the strength of their chosen coverage topic. Would Simmons' passion have resonated or been as pushed by ESPN had his lamentations been for the Kansas City Royals and not the Red Sox?
Likewise, Travis reaches a large, energized fan base. Would his clout be as far-reaching were his work dedicated to the ACC?
Now, I write not to offer a critique of Travis. Opinions on columnists and radio/TV personalities are largely subjective, so fans and detractors can argue the merits of his reported hire and never reach a definitive conclusion.
It's not subjective, however, to point out that Travis' work isn't so much SEC-centric as it is SEC-exclusive. Other conferences exist solely as necessary auxillary players. That makes sense for an SEC audience, but not a national audience.
FOX Sports is partnered with the Pac-12 and Big 12. Though their trophy cases currently pale in comparison to that of the SEC, the Pac-12 and Big 12 play some damn fine football. As such, they made logical flagships for FOX's initial seasons broadcasting college football to national audiences.
The Pac-12 and Big 12 Conferences have established fan bases and boast top caliber teams. Do they really need an SEC hook to further their appeal?
Alas, there are statistics to suggest that yes, banking on a sport's front-runner does net results. Red Sox vs. Yankees games garner the most highest TV ratings in MLB, and the SEC frequently won the week during college football.
And, returning to the Simmons analogy, his hijacking of last month's NBA draft broadcast generated more discussion of this year's draft than any in recent memory.
SEC's media takeover is already underway at FOX competitor ESPN. Seven of the 14 pre-bowl season College Gameday broadcasts aired from SEC stops: five were on SEC campuses, one was the neutral field opener between Alabama and Michigan and the last was the SEC championship in Atlanta. Gameday's first three stops of 2012 were all at SEC games.
ESPN's critically acclaimed 30 For 30 has dedicated its last three college football entries to SEC topics: the Alabama-Auburn rivalry (Roll Tide/War Eagle); the racial tension at Ole Miss during its integration (Ghosts of Ole Miss); and Auburn legend Bo Jackson (You Don't Know Bo). The Worldwide Leader also documents other historic moments in conference history via SEC: Storied.
SEC football is going to become an even more important cog in the ESPN machine after the conference's network launches. Disney Corp. has a vested interest in its success as sole proprietor of the SEC Network.
In other words, America: Brace yourself for a lot of Paul Finebaum.
I would be remiss if I didn't point out that this very site, SaturdayBlitz.com, has dedicated more words to SEC teams than any other conference. The two most covered topics are the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers, with the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs not far behind. The two most read stories in site history detailed South Carolina Gamecocks running back Marcus Lattimore's knee injury and Butch Jones' recruiting.
SaturdayBlitz.com also enjoys a great relationship with Tennessee Sports Radio and Football Time in Tennessee Magazine, both of which cover the Tennessee Volunteers.
Thus, when I write that winning yields more attention, it's not speculation. To borrow a phrase from Chris Farley in Billy Madison, "I know from experience, dude. If you know what I mean."

.357 Magnum with 158 gr JSP and HP38 powder
Hi all,
First post.
I've been reloading for a while for both rifle and pistol, but I noticed some large discrepancies in loads for the .357 magnum. I use mostly 158 gr JSP or JHP bullets.
For HP38 powder, my manual shows a range of 3.4 gr to 5.4 gr. These loads don't seem particularly hot.
So, I did some quick searches online and I see loads of 6.2 gr to 6.9 gr. What gives? Has this powder changed over the years? I've had my can for quite a while.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Differences in load data are the result on a lot of different causes. Different powder lot numbers, different testing equipment, different bullets, different brass, different OAL and seating depth, different temperature and humidity on testing day and probably a lot more will cause differences in load data. This is why they supply a starting and max charge weight for their test rounds and not necessarily your ammo.
In general I go to the powder manufacturer/distributor first, them the bullet manufacturer's data and then a good load manual or three. Hodgdon has .357 Magnum load data on their site for HP-38/W231 and a 158gr jacketed bullet. They list a charge range of 6.2gr to 6.9gr HP-38/W231 like you said. Who supplied that light load data you listed above? Are you sure that wasn't data for a lead bullet? Hodgdon list a charge range of 3.4gr to 5.0gr with a 158gr LSWC bullet which seems to match your data above.
Remember boys and girls, gun control only prevents law abiding Americans from owning guns because the Bad Guys dont obey the laws, no matter how restrictive or lenient the laws are!

I have the Speer and Sierra reloading manuals. Neither one lists HP38, but I have the 357 Magnum Loadbook which lists all bullet manufacturers and powder manufacturers. In it, it shows 3.4 to 5.4 gr for a 158 gr JSP. See attachment. It lists lead bullets at 3.4 to 3.9 gr. But, now online (handloads.com and reloadammo.com), I see loads of 6.2 to 6.9 gr. So, did the powder change? Or, did Hodgden change their minds?
I want to be safe, but these loads seem light. I probably bought the powder 10 years ago.

"Neither one lists HP38"
Just in case you didn't know, W231 and HP-38 are the SAME EXACT POWDER. You can use any current W231 data with HP-38...
Those single caliber load books are handy but you have no idea how old or where the data was copied from. I suggest using the data on the Hodgdon load data site. It has been tested and it's current. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/pistol

Yeah, my Loadbook is from 1993. Maybe, it's a little out of date. Back when I started reloading, Al Gore didn't invent the Internet yet. I'll have to start using the net more for load data. I'm just hoping that the powder hasn't changed during this time.
BTW, what's an accurate powder for 357 magnum? At the time, HP38 was all the store had in stock. It looks like pistol powder is impossible to get anyway these days.

With HP-38 you can actually develop some high velocities and for me, accuracy. Of course being a fast powder it will top out in velocity and pressure long before the slower powders. With a 158gr XTP you can probably generate ~1100 fps from a 4" barrel. (maybe) With lead bullets I use a lot of HS-6. I find it to be very accurate with 158gr LSWC bullets in the .357 Magnum. HS-6 works just as well with jacketed bullets too. For top end loads there is nothing like W296/H110 but be careful with that powder, it works best at the very top end of the pressure curve. It's also highly recommended you use a Magnum primer with it.
Top powders for full power .357 Magnums include: W296/H110, 2400, AA#9, Power Pro 300-MP, Accurate 4100 and Enforcer. Of course those are the full power powders but you can use the medium burn powders like HS-6, Blue Dot, Power Pistol, AA#7, Unique and Universal too. You will lose some velocity but they can be used and will produce accurate ammo.
Having only HP-38 isn't all that bad. You can load most handgun cartridge with it and it's known to produce accurate ammo. It's probably my favorite powder followed by HS-6. There are reloaders all over the country hunting for a jar of W231/HP-38 without success. It seems you got very lucky!!

I load a 158gr RNFP using HP38. 6.4 gr is as hot as I like as I just start getting some flash out of my 6 1/2 inch Ruger Blackhawk. No flash from 6.2. Very accurate.

Unfortunately, I'm just about out of HP38. Can't seem to find any pistol powder locally or on the net. I guess I'll have to buy commercial ammo (gasp!) until the madness is over.

The lower charge load of 3.4 gr. - 5.0 gr. HP38 is for cast LSWC, not jacketed, which is what you are using.
The jacketed data that would apply to the JSP you are using, is in fact 6.2 gr. - 6.9 gr..
Jacketed bullets create more friction, therefore they need more pressure to push them through the barrel, thus the difference in data tables.

Bottom line, HP38 although a great all around powder is not a true MAGNUM powder.
For full magnums you want a slower powder like 2400, H110/W296 (also the same) There are others. 2400 is great if you can find it.
You will find a major difference in those loads!

Absolutely, just like Rule3 said, for magnum full house you need a much slower burning powder for this. I'm really partial to H110 / 296, but there are some very good options like Rule3 mentioned.
I'm need to give that Power Pro 300MP a try, if I'm correct, but anyway I've heard some good stuff about it.

The East Carolina and Marshall game stayed close all afternoon with the score tied eight times and a lead change of eleven times. Marshall was leading 28-25 at the intermission.
Marshall could not put East Carolina away. East Carolina stayed within five points of the Herd most of the game and tied Marshall 54-54 with 1:05 left then took a 56-54 lead with 31 seconds left. Marshall's Lateidra Elliott tied the game 56-56 in the second intermission with a jumper to send the game into overtime.
Marshall had to fight back again being down 60-56 with 4:06 left in overtime to tie the game 60-60 with 43 seconds left . Marshall took a 62-60 lead from some free throw shooting with 14 seconds remaining.
East Carolina's Shala Hodges countered that with a three pointer that gave East Carolina the 63-62 overtime win. With 3.7 seconds left Marshall's Lateidra Elliott was rushed to try for a three point attempt that failed failed.
Marshall Coach Royce Chadwick remarked that if there was one more second on the clock that Elliott's shot would likely have gone in.
Marshall is 15-13 overall and 6-9 in Conference USA. East Carolina is 10-19 overall and 4-11 in Conference USA.
During the intermission children and young adults from the Challenger Program performed. The Challenger Program is for young adults and children with special needs to encourage healthy activity that will improve physical fitness and personal growth with fun and friendships.

Potaters, my favorite! Some of the best preparations for them are the simplest ones, like just roasting them with some seasoning. There are also endless possibilities for potato salads. Some ideas for sides:
- Lemon cayenne roasted potatoes
- Potato salad 4 ways - The avocado, egg, and French mustard sounds especially good.
- Potato latkes
- Creamy potato soup
And some entrees:
- Spring vegetable gnocchi - gnocchi is a really popular option for potatoes too, as it's delicious and fun to make.
- Buffalo chickpea loaded baked potato
- Perogy grilled cheese with potatoes, cheddar, and green onions
For baked potatoes, be sure to poke some holes in them before sticking in the oven! Or else they explode.
Also, if you're boiling potatoes and like them super fluffy, put a thick layer of paper towels over them after you drain the water, then put the pot lid back on for about ten minutes. The towels will absorb the steam and your potatoes will be left dry and fluffy :)
Q:do you know any brazilian dishes?
Sure do :)
- Acaraje - Black-eyed pea and shrimp fritters that are a really popular street/beach food.
- Coxinha - Balls of fried chicken salad shaped to look like a drumstick, and another popular street food.
- Moqueca - Fish stew with fish, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, and sometimes coconut milk. Easy to make, and comes together pretty quickly.
- Pao de queijo - Cheese bread similar to a chewy cheese puff.
- Arroz brasileiro - Brazilian rice with tomatoes and garlic for flavor.
- Feijoada - Black bean stew with smoked meats, possibly the most famous Brazilian dish. This takes an entire day to prepare and is best served for a group, but it's so epic and good that you want to throw a party just to make it.
- Bolo mousse de maracuya - Passion fruit mousse cake. Layers of vanilla cake soaked in passion fruit syrup, then filled with passion fruit mousse and topped with whipped cream.
- Quindin - Golden coconut flan with custard on top and a chewy, sweet coconut crust.
Bom apetite!

Before the booing and counter-booing begin, let's remember what the gun symbolizes in American culture: More than the bald eagle or the don't-tread-on-me serpent, the firearm to the American male and increasing numbers of females has come to stand for our ideals of independence.
Moving up the street roughly a half-mile as we just did is little different from moving across the country what with packing, unpacking, etc. The current economy and real estate market make selling the vacated home far more difficult than any of our previous moves.
"An expert is anyone from out of town with a brief case."
Independence Day is the only holiday that celebrates the United States of America. While it technically commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the truth is that today, families and friends across America will charcoal-grill, sunbathe and set aflame powder in honor of our democratic republic.
At the end of his adventures, Huckleberry Finn, the boy hero of the quintessentially American novel, did a quintessentially American thing: He decided to "light out for the territory." It was natural. Aunt Sally's ways were suffocating, stifling for a boy like Huck.
You'd better sit down for this one. I must confess that I, your modest and much-beloved columnist, don't have all the answers. (I can hear the gasps from Adel to Zebulon.)
Nearly 40 years ago, we began working to make sure black students were not tracked to fail, discouraged to excel, put out of school, attacked while in school or subjected to the kind of verbal violence that made staying in school hard to do.
Over the past few weeks, the big news story has been about the city school system. From the first day when it was reported that the school system was facing a major budget deficit, to the ultimate dismissal of the superintendent, every Gainesville citizen has an opinion. The school deficit issue has opened everyone's eyes.
Could Vernon Jones be the next Mack Mattingly?
Sen. Johnny Isakson's recent call for a compromise on energy policy is getting a lot of coverage. The Georgia senator wants Republicans to embrace conservation initiatives and alternatives such as solar and wind in turn for Democratic acceptance of nuclear power and a more aggressive exploitation of our own oil resources (Alaska and off the Atlantic Coast).
Five-to-four. Amazing. By one vote our U.S. Supreme Court decided that the Second Amendment to our Constitution is still in effect. It should not have been this close.
The original Olympic Games were held in Greece from 776 BC to 393 AD. Modern Olympic Games resumed in 1859 and were international in scope.
I was deep in thought on my back porch at Big Canoe in the North Georgia mountains when the phone rang. It was Sen. Saxby Chambliss calling from Washington. He sounded as if he had been rode hard and put away wet. Given his druthers, I suspect he would have preferred sitting on the porch staring at the mountains than stuck in Washington with a group of people sporting a 13 percent approval rating. I'm talking about Congress, of course.
One recent morning, I tried to log on to my online banking account. I needed to check my balance since the dryer had suddenly decided to stop drying and I wasn't sure if I had enough in the account to cover the repair bill.
It certainly catches my attention when I see the words "domestic violence" in a news headline. Kathleen Parker recently brought national attention to this issue in her syndicated newspaper column, which appeared in The Times on June 26.
For the past few months, I have heard the same question nearly everywhere I go.
Last week, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jason Carter shared via this column his vision for public education in Georgia.
With all of the attack ads running on TV this election season, Georgians have no doubt had their fill of pessimism and negativity.
Human nature has changed little over time, but human behavior has. We no longer burn heretics at the stake or torture animals for sport ... well, not the way we did in the past. At least today we pay lip service to social justice and the rule of law.
As a father and a school superintendent, I have an extremely personal interest in the state of our schools. I also have a great respect for the democratic process: the opportunity for vigorous debate and the potential created by new and innovative ideas.
I have asked the two major gubernatorial candidates to talk to Georgia public school teachers about their respective education platforms.

text: Ruslan Tsarni Expresses Grief for Victims, Calls Nephews 'Losers' by John Sexton 19 Apr 2013 Share This: After the phone interview this morning (listen here) Ruslan Tsarni gave what amounted to an outdoor press conference for media outlets. "First, the only purpose here is just to deliver our condolences," he said, adding "I never ever imagined that somehow the children of my brother would be associated with that." According to Ruslan, he last had contact with the boys in December 2005 and did not think they had any hostility toward America at that time. Asked what might have provoked the bombing, Ruslan hesitated and then offered "Being losers. Hatred toward those who were able to settle themselves. These are the only reasons I can imagine. Anything else, anything to do with religion is a fraud, is a fake." Asked by another reporter if the boys "got radicalized" Ruslan replied "Somebody radicalized them but it's not my brother who just moved back to Russia...who spent his life bringing bread to their table fixing cars."

The first film from émigré director Pawel Pawlikowski since 2004's dreamy My Summer of Love, this thoroughly odd and brooding psycho-puzzle trains in on Ethan Hawke's displaced American writer-academic, arrived in Paris to see his ex-wife and young daughter despite a restraining order, a recent hospital stay and a history of violence. Behind his thick-lensed Buddy Hollys and air of vague disconnection, the man seems oblivious to his situation, which just grows more dire once he's robbed of his luggage and must take an off-the-books job video-monitoring a dope den's entrance just to pay for a hovel above a café. Pawlikowski is peerless at contemporary fish-out-of-water discomfiture (a la 2000's Last Resort), and visually his style is a hypnotic cataract of offbeat compositions, luminous light studies and abrupt-cut naturalism. But the film's story seems to jump its ghostly rails with the mysterious introduction of Kristin Scott-Thomas as an elliptical lover-muse who provides Hawke's lost boy with sanctuary and support. That is, until we begin getting the sense that a healthy but undetermined slice of the film, maybe including an off-screen murder, is actually unspooling in the hero's frazzled head. You're not sure what this is 'til it's over, but certainly Hawke's performance is his nerviest and most sincere in a decade.

I was curious if it was possible to ask the excellent
videographers at the NANOG conference to re-enable the
slides over the Real Audio videostream. The slides
were visible yesterday, but today they are not. Much
of what the speakers say refer to the slides. More
importantly it's much more useful using the video
channel to see the slides than to seeing images of
the speaker. Thanks for anything that can be done
about this before the tutorials are over, and thanks
for the awesome streaming job. Video and audio has
been coming in great in Florida.
The slides are (almost) all available at the start of each talk in
PDF. Go to http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0302/agenda.html. Select a talk
that is about to begin (or has begun) and a pointer to the slides is
at the end of the abstract.

A few days ago, the Virginia Tech Hokies pulled off a massive victory in the pool as the Hokies men's swimming and diving team, also known as the H2Okies, pulled off a major win by taking down not only Wisconsin and #24 Harvard, but also arch rivals #18 Virginia. This is the first time that the Hokies have beat Virginia in the pool in 33 years and to finally take down UVA is a big accomplishment for the program to show how good they are this year.
The Hokies are only a month away from the ACC Championships in Greensboro but the Hokies seem ready to make a run at the ACC title, especially after the Hokies finally beat the Cavaliers. The Hokies came close last year after finishing second in the ACC but this has the potential to be the year that the Hokies seize their opportunity and win the ACC Championship. The Hokies still have a meet at UNC Wilmington before the Virginia Tech Invitational as the Hokies are definitely going to make sure they are ready for the big stage in Greensboro.

|till he saw her eyes start to shine with tears before he let go. His attention had made her nipples hard, and they were even harder to keep concealed. He watched her struggle with it for a minute before he ordered her to leave it alone and go out to the car. She obediently turned to leave and he got wonderful view of her ass cheeks hanging out of the back of her skirt. Bend over a little, slut, he ordered. She stopped and leaned over showing him almost all her ass and her puffy pussy lips peeking out from between her thighs. She was shining with wetness. He reached between her legs to run his finger along her pussy. She shuddered and moaned at his touch. Laughing he brought his finger around to her mouth. Here slut, taste yourself, taste how ready you are for me and my friends. She moaned softly but took his finger into her warm moist mouth sucking off the juices. He lightly slapped her ass, signaling it was time to go. Walking to the car was a horrible experience. She was sure that adult comic strips all of the neighbors were watching out of their widows as she walked to the car, struggling to cover herself. She had to practically run to keep up with him, almost tripping in her heels, which prevented her from keeping her clothes under control. Once in the car he started to talk to her about everyday things, like his day at work. She couldnŇt concentrate on what he was saying though; she couldnŇt get her mind off of where they were going and what she was going to be doing. Finally, they arrived at a nice house in one of the more upscale suburbs outside of town. By then she was horribly worked up, shaking and nearing panic once again. He leaned in towards her, grabbing her behind her head and pulling her close. She tensed up -- but when all he did was kiss her she soon melted into him, forgetting everything else. He rarely just kissed her. The kiss was warm and gentle, soothing her completely. When he lifted his head from her, her eyes were still closed and she was smiling. Thank yo

News Digest
seek a rate increase in Idaho effective prior to 2002, and to pay a $6.4 million merger credit to customers.
"Denial of the merger in this case simply by virtue of the fact that ScottishPower is incorporated in another country would put this commission on very tenuous legal footing," the PUC said. But dissenting commission president Dennis Hansen argued that the companies failed to provide adequate evidence that the merger met the public interest. Order No. 28213, Nov. 15, 1999 (Idaho P.U.C.).
Dominion Resources + CNG. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission conditionally approved the merger of Dominion Resources Inc. and Consolidated Natural Gas Co., giving the companies 45 days to revise their analysis of market power under the commission's competitive screen and thus allow the FERC to build a record and approve the deal without further conditions.
In the alternative, the applicants could accept a code of conduct for dealings among affiliates of the new post-merger corporate family.
Though he did not dissent, Commissioner Curt Hébert said he disagreed with the majority's findings on vertical market power. He said the agency essentially was "sending a glorified deficiency letter," thereby demonstrating that it "should leave the merger arena." Docket No. EC99-81-000, Nov. 10, 1999 (F.E.R.C.).
Illinova + Dynegy. The FERC approved the merger of Illinova Corp., parent company of Illinois Power, and energy marketer Dynegy Inc. The newly formed holding company will operate from Dynegy's headquarters in Houston. Docket No. EC99-99-000, Nov. 10, 1999 (F.E.R.C.).
Enron + Portland General. Having shifted its focus away from retail to wholesale, Enron Corp. on Nov. 8 announced it will sell its Portland General Electric subsidiary to Sierra Pacific Resources for cash and debt worth $3.1 billion - the same figure it paid two years ago to acquire PGE. With timely receipt of regulatory approvals, Enron would expect to close the selloff in the second half of this year.
"Portland General is one of the premier electric utilities in the West," said Michael Niggli, chairman and CEO of Sierra Pacific Resources. "This transaction is an important step in fulfilling our previously stated goal of expanding our regulated utility businesses."
AEP + C&SW. On Nov. 5 the Texas PUC unanimously approved the merger of American Electric Power and Central & South West Corp., along with combined rate cuts totaling $221 million over six years for Texas retail customers of the three C&SW Texas operating companies. The settlement provides for divestiture of 1,064 megawatts of generating capacity in Texas.
A FERC law judge was to rule on the merger by Nov. 24, with a final commission order expected by March. The deal had already won approval in Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
KeySpan + Eastern Enterprises. New York-based KeySpan Corp. on Nov. 4 announced that it will acquire New England-based Eastern Enterprises for $64 per share, or $2.5 billion ($1.7 billion in equity and $0.8 billion in assumed debt and preferred stock).
The combined companies will serve 2.4 million electric and natural gas customers. KeySpan expects pre-tax annual merger savings of about $30 million. KeySpan's headquarters will remain in New
