DALLAS (April 5, 2013)—Gary Kelly, the CEO of Southwest Airlines, received $4 million in compensation for 2012, up 15 percent from 2011, largely because of bigger stock awards.
Southwest says in a regulatory filing that Kelly got a salary of $675,000 and a $961,000 bonus last year.
Most of Kelly's compensation is in stock awards, worth $2.25 million, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Kelly joined Southwest in 1986 and held a succession of finance jobs including chief financial officer before he was named CEO in 2004 and added the chairman's title in 2008.

Senator Mike Lee Now Says He Will Donate To Charity Each Day Of The Shutdown
"I'm working, I'll continue to be paid."
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz may be donating his salary to charity while the government is closed, but his tea party colleague, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who largely spearheaded with him the fight to defund Obamacare, is keeping his paycheck. Lee was speaking with Chris Jones of local KUTV news when he made the comment.
"I'm working, I'll continue to be paid," said Lee.
Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz said he is deferring pay as is fellow Utah Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson.
The government has been shut down since Tuesday morning. Congressional leaders are meeting at the White House Wednesday to discuss the shutdown for the first time since the government's closing.
Update: Lee's communication director Brian Phillips tells BuzzFeed "the KUTV story is wrong" and that "Lee will donate to charity for every day of the shut down."
Lee's communications director told KUTV "I also know there ail be the temptation to frame this as 'backtracking,' but that's not at all what this is. As I said, the Senator was unfortunately muddy in his explanation of how the process works and wasn't prepared at that time to make a big announcement about how he was going to handle it."
Here's Lee's statement to KUTV saying he will donate to charity each day of the shutdown:
"All Members of Congress and the President receive pay during a government shutdown as a matter of law. For furloughed federal employees, Congress has traditionally provided back pay and I would support that approach in this case. In addition, after we negotiate a deal with Democrats to reopen the government and pay for federal employees resumes, I will make a donation to charity for each day the government is shut down. I am continuing to work around the clock to write and build support for legislation that will keep government open and end the stalemate."

Buyer beware . . .
Looking for a tattoo—and maybe a little something extra: a burst of good luck, a dollop of true love, or even a hex on an ex? Head to the quiet and mysterious Gage, the best skin artist in town. Using unique potions—a blend of extraordinary ingredients and special inks—to etch the right symbol, he can fulfill any heart's desire. But in a place like Low Town, where elves, faeries, trolls, werewolves, and vampires happily walk among humanity, everything has its price.
No one knows that better than Gage. Turning his back on his own kind, he left the magical Ivory Tower where cruel witches and warlocks rule, a decision that cost him the right to practice magic. And if he disobeys, his punishment—execution—will be swift.
Though he's tried to fly under the radar, Gage can't hide from powerful warlocks who want him dead—or the secrets of his own past. But with the help of his friends, Trixie, a gorgeous elf who hides her true identity, and a hulking troll named Bronx, Gage might just make it through this enchanted world alive.

What about South Africa & Ghana ?
Scammer's from Egypt and Eritrea.
It is easy to make Fake Profile and Picture.
I can never your posts. They don't appear for some odd reason.
Even the united states does not have the attributes hereof. It is Africa's Kairo moment and nothing will stop it from rising.
cant open content.
It's nice for Africa to develope but if they haven't reached to appoint where they have to develope politically, and when I say politically meaning having a transparency democratic system that will guarantee freedom, prosperity and security for everyone citizen of each country, then development, can't last for long, because of poor governance someone will come and tore everything apart.
Yes, but at what cost, is it Ethiopia is advancing by and for itself or rather it is being advanced by and for China.
Substiting a pink ape on your back for an Asian one does not advance, you are still being used and abused and setting up your people to be in this predicament for generations, perhaps FOREVER
ethiopia was the pride of africa sometime ago.I dont know much about it today except for AU quarters.
this report of yours is a scam!!! it is fake development and unprofessional report!!!! reading this report of yours, i doubt the credibility of other news as well!!!!
This is great a lot of the African countries are developing I'm dreaming of a United Africa!!! United Stated of Africa Africans around the world would benefit!!!


text: Could someone tell me what is the best way to achieve this. Right now, I have my home page display posts with newest on top, that is all good. What I want to try is adding a static message at the very top of the home page before the recent posts, and want it to stay at the top. One way I probably can do is by assigning the newest date to this message/post, so that it appears as the most recent post all the time, that means I will have to republish it every time with newer date when I add a post. Not the best thing to do I guess. Could you please guide me as to how I can accomplish this?

Welfare board faces up to cuts
Concern:Rebecca Weinberg
Leeds Jewish Welfare Board is urging the community to "dig deep" for its Rosh Hashanah appeal, fearing that budgets could be slashed by Leeds City Council.
LJWB chief executive Rebecca Weinberg is concerned about meeting an increasing caseload in the wake of recession-related job losses, debts and family breakdowns.
"We are looking at a much greater demand for some of our services, particularly mental health and family services," she said. "We see a lot of people driven into deep depression by debt and we are somewhat limited because we are not debt counsellors."
In addition, the upcoming 20 per cent VAT rate would cause "huge problems for many, many people".
The charity, also now incorporating Leeds Jewish Care Services, has projected expenditure of £3.4 million for the 2010/11 financial year. Half the funding comes from statutory services and the charity is resigned to cuts.
"We have been doing the 'Big Society' thing since 1878," Ms Weinberg pointed out. "It's encouraging that the government wants to encourage local charities to run services, because when it comes to local provision and expertise, we are the best in town.
"But we could be looking at between 20 to 40 per cent cuts. Leeds City Council is just following national instructions - it has a £14 million deficit to cut. We have to make sure we are rigorously prepared, because we understand the council has a horrible, horrible job to do."
LJWB is also adapting its long-term fundraising strategy and has launched a legacy campaign. "In the past we've shied away from talking about things like legacies. But we can't apologise for it, we have to be matter-of-fact."
Other potential considerations could be staff cuts and charging for more of its services. "We have had many conversations with our service users. We have to accept that we may need to charge those who can afford it for some of the services we used to provide for free.
"We have such a loyal team of staff, and of course, for some the future is uncertain. It doesn't necessarily mean redundancies but we can't tell until we know how much the council will cut our budget. I am trying to be as reassuring as I can be. We are pedalling hard to stand still."
The Rosh Hashanah appeal is the organisation's biggest of the year and supports services like the Rainbow Project for people with learning difficulties, the Manny Cussins Family Project, Neshama, dealing with mental health issues and Moorcare, providing care for the elderly at home. LJWB also runs the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Community Centre, a blind and deaf society and a charity shop.
Last year, more than £230,000 was raised by the appeal, which goes out to five synagogues.
"This year it is more important than ever that the community digs deep," Ms Weinberg said. "It is ironic that many potential donors overlook the fact that they will need us at some point.
"Experiencing poor mental health, having a child with additional needs, or coping with physical or learning disability can affect any one of us at any time."

I loved it. It was so delicious. I found it in my Eating Well cookbook and just had to find the online link to review it. I'll definitely be eating it again.
Crispy Potatoes with Green Beans & Eggs
From EatingWell: Spring 2003, The EatingWell Healthy in a Hurry Cookbook (2006)
This is a one-skillet meal, reminiscent of diner fare at roadside restaurants across the U.S. It can be made with either leftover or raw potatoes. Even while making dinner in a hurry, don't rush this dish: you want to cook the potato cubes until they are crispy outside but still creamy inside.
7 Reviews for Crispy Potatoes with Green Beans & Eggs
This is an easy yummy kid-friendly recipe my whole family loves. Perfect for fall using farm-fresh beans and potatoes. I just slip the eggs in , put a lid on and let the eggs poach off heat until dinner-time and they are perfect every time.

Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
The Giants battered four Cubs pitchers to the tune of 12 runs on 17 hits, en route to a 12-6 victory in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this afternoon.
2009 4th round pick LHP Chris Rusin (U. of Kentucky) got the start, and had an easy ten-pitch 1-2-3 1st inning (two strikeouts and a ground out). The Giants then scored twice in the second on two singles and a double, although Rusin only had to throw 12 pitches (total) in that inning. Rusin had another easy 13-pitch 3rd, striking out two more around a single, while catcher Jae-Hoon Ha gunned down a potential base-stealer with a picture-perfect throw to shotstop Hak-Ju Lee's glove as the base-runner tagged himself out for the 3rd out of the inning. (BTW, Hak-Ju Lee was named the top prospect in the Northwest League by Baseeball America today).
Jae-Hoon Ha was a catcher in high school in South Korea, but the Cubs moved him to the outfield immediately after signing him to take advantage of his speed and athleticism. But he (Ha) looks OK behind the plate--certainly better than recent converts Jovan Rosa or (especially) Brandon May have looked so far, and it will be interesting to see if the Cubs used Ha more as a catcher now that Matt Cerda has apparently been moved to 2B full-time
As for Chris Rusin, the 22-year old is a polished college lefty, with a full array of pitches in his arsenal and an ability to work fast and throw strikes. Rusin is the type of guy who should move quickly through the Cubs system at least until his stuff gets challenged and tested at AA. So I would not be surprised one bit if Rusin jumps from Boise to Daytona on Opening Day 2010, with a possible mid-season promotion to AA if he proves that he has mastered Advanced-A by that time.
Peoria RHP Chris Archer (one of three young pitchers the Cubs acquired from Cleveland for Mark DeRosa last off-season) pitched the 4th & 5th innings, and while he didn't walk anybody, he did labor through both innings, throwing 29 pitches in each inning while allowing four runs on six hits. Not a good outing for Archer.
Dominican RHP Julio Pena threw the next two innings and had an OK outing, but then Venezuelan RHP Eduardo Figueroa got clobbered in the 8th and 9th (allowing five runs on three singles, a double and a home run, a walk, and an HBP), as the Giants salted the game away
AA Tennessee Smokies 2B Tony Thomas and CF Brandon Guyer got starts today, and Guyer had a nice game, reaching base three times, including a double and a triple, plus a sacrifice fly RBI. Thomas went hitless, but did score a run after reaching base on a FC.
It's unusual for AA guys to get assigned to Instructs, but in the case of Guyer and Thomas, it's to work on parricular aspects of their game. In the case of Guyer, it's a Strength & Conditioning Program designed to help him develop more strength and power, and for Thomas, it's a crash course in base-stealing with Organizational Base-Running Instructor Bobby Derrnier.
Guyer showed some signs of driving the ball today, as he slammed a double and a triple, while also making an outstanding over-the-shoulder catch while running full-bore toward dead-center. Guyer reminds me of Reed Johnson or Eric Byrnes (pre-torn hamstring), playing all-out on every play and leaving it all on the field. If he could add some XBH to his gear bag, he could be an MLB OF.
Tony Thomas reached base only once today (on a FC), and he did attempt to steal 2nd once he did reach base, but Guyer fouled the pitch off. Then Thomas advanced to 2nd on a Wild Pitch before he could take another shot at stealing 2nd base.
20-year old LF Runey Davis had a nice day at the plate today, with a single, a double, and a triple, and a hard line-drive out to RF in his last AB. Davis was the Cubs 12th round pick out of NJCAA National Champion Howard JC (which beat fellow Cub Trey McNutt's Shelton State club to win the 2009 National JC title), but he struggled at the plate at both Mesa and Boise this Summer. Davis started his college career at the University of Texas before transferring to Howard JC, and would have transferred to Mississippi State if he hadn't signed with the Cubs
And Bobby Wagner smacked a solo home run over the RF fence with one out in the bottom of the 5th. The 23-year old Wagner was the Cubs 38th round draft pick this past June. A native of British Columbia, Wagner played JC ball in at Panola JC in Texas in 2009. The 6'3 left-handed hitting 3B-LF has plus-power, but he strikes out a lot and is a poor defender no matter where he plays (he is a "natural" 3B, but LF is his best position if he can't DH). Because of his age, he could (like Rusin) jump past Peoria and move from Boise to Daytona in 2010.
Cubs Organizational Infield Instructor Franklin Font continues to work with 2009 #2 draft pick D. J. LeMahieu (LSU) on Field #5 (the "half field" located north of the clubhouse), as the Cubs try to teach LeMahieu the proper way to turn the DP, especially from the 2B position. He was apparently never forced to learn this at LSU, so now he has to learn the technique at the pro level. It's fairly obvious that the Cubs would prefer that LeMahieu play either SS or 2B (preferably 2B), since he has not (yet) displayed the power required of a third-baseman or a corner outfielder, and since be doesn't have any experience playing CF (the other position for which he might have some aptitude).
And speaking of CF, #1 draft pick Brett Jackson (Cal) is progressing with his rehab (sore wrist) and should return to the lineup sometime next week, joining 2009 11th round pick LHP John Mincone (missed three months after June shoulder surgery) and 2008 4th round pick 2B Matt Cerda (missed three months with a broken hand) as recent additions on the Instructs Active Roster. (While Hak-Ju Lee was named the Northwest League's #1 best prosprect by Baseball America today, BA named Jackson the 3rd best prospect in the NWL).
RHP Dae-Eun Rhee (2008 TJS) is still not throwing in Instructs games, although he is participating in daily PFP drills. Rhee made a few rehab appearances at Mesa and Boise at the end of the season, but struggled with his control and got hammered when he did throw strikes (9.35 ERA and 2.08 WHIP). Hopefully Rhee will be back close to 100% in 2010.
Fellow Korean RHP Su-Min Jung returned to South Korea in August to attend college so he is not at Instructs, but he is expected back at Fitch Park next Spring.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only): .
1. Hak-Ju Lee, SS: 2-4 (1B, 3-U, L-4, 1B)
2. Tony Thomas, 2B: 0-4 (K, F-8, 6-3, 4-6 FC), R

4. Eduardo Figueroa - 2.0 IP, 5 H, 5 R (5 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 1 HR, 1 GIDP, 38 pitches (26 strikes)

''If teams are going to look at me to close, they know I can close,'' he said. ''To have the ups and downs this year after my surgery was to be expected, really. And looking forward to coming into a completely healthy year ready to go for next year, I'm excited about that.
''It'll be nice to go through a year where I don't have to basically go through rehab on my knee as I go, and being back to where I was last year until I hurt my knee.''
Ryno meeting with Cubs after season
On WSCR Ryno meeting with Cubs after season regarding next year.(not unusual)
But I believe he will be named bench coach for the Cubs. Two reasons for this, to learn how a MLB team works and to replace Lou by May if team is underachieving again.
Here's a cool catch by a Twins fan showing Joe Mauer tipping pitches to his batter when on second base.
Re: Ryno meeting with Cubs after season
That's a great video. Laird knew it was happening, he needed to get his ass out to the mound.
Re: Ryno meeting with Cubs after season
I heard the lengthy interview on my way downtown with Ryno. As jacos states -
He would like to hear something from management as to where he fits in their plans. Much arguing among the co-hosts whether:
1. he is ready to manage at the big league level now
2. could/would he be named bench coach under Lou's tutelege
3. yes he's had success at AA, but...
4. what if he gets an non-Cub mlb job offer this off season? - does the team miss out
5. is Lou someone you WANT to learn under? (a caller made this point - noting this year's asleep-at-the-wheel style)
6. Sandberg discussed some of his work-ethics and bringing this to all of his players. Running the bases hard, "little things", NL managing style of double-switches, etc. But - no one asked how he could handle multi-millionaires.
It was then agreed that "No manager could handle Carlos Zambrano. He's a "crazy man"."
Re: Ryno meeting with Cubs after season
My only worry would be if Ryno was too soft.
Re: Ryno meeting with Cubs after season
why is it a big deal at all? will people learn the sky is blue tommorow?

Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
Anybody know why Colvin has been shut down for the rest of the season?
If there hasn't been anything in the papers or blogs, I'm going to guess that he complained about his throwing elbow. Just a guess, I'm not trying to start a rumor. A couple of those throws from the warning track in Milwaukee looked a little strenuous.

2. "And since when is it my job to root for 'our very own players?'" Well, gee, Paul, you certainly take it upon yourself to root against some players, so your correspondent can be forgiven for assuming your partisanship (but not for his original dopey point).
3. "The Cubs have spent a lot of money the last few years, and most of it was wasted money." Incorrect.
Re: More on Milty
Still making excuses for Milton Bradley. Whatev'
Re: More on Milty
the most important line in that column..
The Cubs are not looking to replace Ryan Theriot at shortstop next year,
throw-in that Blanco started at 2b yesterday with Theriot at short and I think it's safe to assume a 2bmen, not SS will be on the offseason radar.
Tonight's game...
I thought Thursday's were getaway days, why the night game?
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
The Reds are getting their asses handed to them today. Carpenter hit a Grand Slam. You would think they would rest him. I guess The Genius is not above pettiness. Afterall, they "Play the Game the Right Way."
F those guys. Onward 2010.
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
Huh? Why would they rest him? They can still get home field advantage.
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
I think the dumbest thing for baseball teams to do is to rest their players, start handing out days off, skip people in the rotation, and generally mess with what you have done all season.
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
That's the dumbest thing for a baseball team to do? You've obviously never seen a baseball team a. sign Enrique Wilson, and b. put him in the lineup v. the Yankees because "he's had experience hitting in Yankee Stadium".
I kid, I kid.
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
b. put him in the lineup v. the Yankees
I went to all 3 games in that series. It was maximally dumb.
Dusty being Dusty, etc. Going for the high OBP guys at the top of the order.
6-17-05 lineup:
Neifi, CPat, DLee, Burnitz, ARam, Walker(DH), Hollandsworth, Blanco and Wilson
Z was very shaky but they came from behind from 4-0 to go ahead 6-4 before Ohman iced that cake, he got the loss AND a blown save (just to make E-Man's day)
Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12

Re: Giants Hitters Teach Cubs Pitchers a Thing or 12
I wish they'd just let the guy be what he is.....
He was effective out of the Pen last year. Let him stay in the pen where he only needs 1 or 2 pitches. Square peg/round hole.
Recent comments
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.

Politics | The controversy in Minnesota continues over Neil Gaiman's speaking fee, with a state House Republican committee chairman now recommending a $45,000 cut to the Twin Cites' regional library system budget to make up for the Legacy Fund money paid to the author and comics writer in May 2010. "I simply subtracted out $45,000 — just making a point," Rep. Dean Urdahl said. Gaiman responded that the move "seems like a sad way to make a point."

Westchester Teen Aids Homeless
Danny Ullman wants to provide other young people in his affluent Westchester community of Rye Brook with a deeper understanding of homelessness.
On Saturday, the 17-year-old will host Sleep For Solutions, an annual all-night event to raise awareness and donations for the Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and Homeless.
The event asks children and families to "consider the experience of being homeless for a night, rain or shine," as they sleep outside Rye Brook's athletic fields, said Danny.
"There's no way we can truly understand what it's like to be without shelter but I wanted to simulate a fraction of the experience to evoke a sense of empathy that will encourage people to want to combat the problem," he said.
While participants can bring sleeping bags and water, they forgo food and shelter for the night. They are encouraged to donate any supplies brought for the night to homeless shelters. Participants are also asked for a $25 donation and food, clothing and toiletries for the county's 31 homeless shelters.
Danny, a senior at Blind Brook High School, started the event last year as part of a homeless nonprofit he founded in 2009 called Hearth For All.
"I wanted to find a way that I could combat the problem both reactively—giving homeless people the supplies they need to live another day, and proactively—teaching kids about the issue so we can stop homelessness from happening in the future," said Danny, who heads to Yale University in the fall.
During the night, children will hear from speakers including Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino and nutrition expert Joy Bauer.
Many teachers at Blind Brook are allowing children to write essays on their experience for extra credit. Kids who stay the night can receive up to 11 hours of credit for the school's 80-hour community service graduation requirement.
Last year, Sleep For Solutions attracted 130 people and raised nearly $4,000. On Saturday Danny looks to beat the previous year's turnout with 200 people and $5,000 in donations.
"With Westchester County being so affluent, our biggest challenge is to get people to believe homelessness exists because it's not in your face," said Rosa Boone-Morgan, executive director for Westchester Coalition for the Hungry and Homeless.
For Danny, Saturday's event is just a start. He looks to start a similar chapter at Yale and other locations.

|Paul Quarrington

|Maury Chaykin

Release dates
Running time
|107 min.
Whale Music is a 1994 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Richard J. Lewis. It is based on the comic novel of the same name by Paul Quarrington (who also wrote the screenplay).
The film stars Maury Chaykin as Desmond Howl, a former rock star who has lived in seclusion in a seaside mansion since the death of his brother Danny (Paul Gross) in a car accident. Howl spends his time composing a symphonic masterpiece for the whales who congregate in the ocean near his property. His reason for this is revealed in the title of one of his songs, "Have You Seen My Brother?" — Danny died by losing control of his car and driving off a cliff into the ocean.
One day, however, Howl awakens to find Claire (Cyndy Preston), a mysterious young woman, in his living room. Although Howl's world is disrupted, Claire ends up inspiring him to complete the symphony, to write his first great pop song in years, and to begin seeking connections with people again.
The character of Desmond Howl is based largely on Brian Wilson.
The cast also includes Kenneth Welsh, Jennifer Dale, Jim Byrnes, and Quarrington in a cameo appearance as a bartender.
Music for the film was written by Rheostatics and released on the soundtrack album Music from the Motion Picture Whale Music. The song "Claire" was a Top 40 hit for the band in 1995. Quarrington had chosen the Rheostatics to compose the soundtrack because he had liked their 1992 album Whale Music, which was itself inspired by Quarrington's novel.
Chaykin won Best Actor at the 15th Genie Awards for his portrayal of Howl.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2017 Kia Sportage
By KBB.com Editors
Those who remember the original Sportage SUV probably won't recognize the current model. Gone are the body-on-frame architecture, somewhat harsh ride and moderate engine power. The 2008 Kia Sportage derives its underpinnings from a car platform to give it a smooth ride, improved handling and better crash-test results. The trade-off is an inability to tackle the harshest sorts of off-road terrain (the Sportage lacks a high/low transfer case and locking differentials), but heavy snow and mud are still easily managed. And, while the humble Sportage must contend with perennial favorites, such as the Honda CR-V and Jeep Liberty, many people will find its low price and long list of standard features quite tempting.
If you're on a modest budget but don't want to give up comfort or convenience, you'll appreciate Kia's approach to the compact SUV segment. And, while its V6 engine produces little more power than Honda's in-line four, you'll appreciate the V6's smoothness with every tip of the accelerator.
If you're an individual who cherishes an established nameplate, Kia (despite dramatic sales growth) lacks the long history of some other brands. And though Kia has definitely made strides versus segment leaders from Toyota and Honda, the Sportage might be a shade down from them in product refinement.
No major changes for 2008.
Kia's product team has hit the sweet spot in achieving a ride and handling balance completely appropriate to the target consumer. With a curb weight of roughly 3,400 pounds, the...
... 2008 Kia Sportage is no lightweight. That fairly substantial heft is reflected in a feeling of solidity from the unit body structure. Suspension settings are biased toward comfort and the steering provides some appreciated feedback. The V6 engine, while offering two more cylinders than the 2008 Honda CR-V (Toyota offers a V6 with its RAV4), doesn't seem any more responsive than the Honda when connected to the standard four-speed automatic. We'd view the Sportage's on-road demeanor as creditable, although not entertaining, but, for an SUV, being creditable is more important.
Distinctive Design
The Sportage's distinctive design is modern, clean and attractive. In an era of generic styling emanating from many Asian studios, it's refreshing to see something truly distinctive without the carmaker resorting to "shock and awe."
Quality Interior Appointments
Kia has made great strides in quality, with improved plastics and upholstery throughout the lineup. On top of improved quality is true utility, with easy ingress and egress and a fold-flat rear seat that provides real stowage capability.
Most Sportage prospects will be pleased by its interior, combining real functionality with a number of upscale touches. The Korean car industry has embraced quality plastics, with an almost quantum improvement in both appearance and texture. The attractive cloth upholstery gives an impression of comfort and durability. The instrument panel has easy-to-read gauges and the center-mounted cluster has controls that are easily identified and appropriately ergonomic. Adding to the upscale appeal are aluminized accents on both the instrument and door panels. Seating position is appropriately upright and, while the standard sunroof encroaches slightly on rear-seat headroom, most adults will find either front or rear seating to be generous. As with most compact SUVs, the fifth passenger's area, in the center of the rear seat, is somewhat marginal.
The 2008 Kia Sportage represents a dramatic departure from the original Sportage design, which was discontinued in 2002. Today's Sportage wears a curvaceous, almost organic look, with a get-up-and-go attitude accentuated by short overhangs, a relatively wide track, ample tires (235/60-16 all-season radials) and generous headroom. The hatch features an opening window for convenience. A dual exhaust system with chrome tips accentuates the Sportage's SUV intensions.
Kia's tagline, "The Power to Surprise," is abundantly evident when viewing the Sportage's window sticker. A high level of standard equipment is part of Kia's core strategy. Available in either LX or EX variants, the Sportage enjoys an almost opulent level of equipment, especially considering its price range. Young families concerned with safety will appreciate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), traction control (TCS) and, at the EX level, a tire pressure monitoring system. Audiophiles will enjoy an AM/FM/CD system with six speakers -- EX models enjoy MP3-compatibility. Privacy side glass is standard across the board, while a sunroof is included on the EX at no additional charge. Finally, while we wish the roof rails offered more than the stated 100-pound capacity, they are included in the base window sticker price as standard equipment.
With all that is standard the customer is left with little to add. The less-expensive LX gives the customer more variables, although many of those would be dealer-installed. On the EX, a Luxury Package includes body-colored bumpers, leather seats and trim, heated front seats, automatic headlamps and a six-disc CD changer, amplifier and subwoofer.
The base LX utilizes a fairly conventional (for the category) 2.0 liter in-line four, while the EX benefits from the 2.7 liter DOHC V6. It, along with the
Hyundai Tucson and Ford Escape, were among the first to offer six-cylinder power in the compact utility category. We were not overly impressed by the responsiveness of the V6; it will meet consumer expectations, but we don't believe it will exceed them. The four-cylinder should be reserved for light duty only -- no full loads, light towing and little exposure to work at high altitudes.

County residents want administrator who will listen
Published: Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 7:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 7:03 p.m.
Environmentalists, community activists, business people and other concerned citizens found one thing they could agree on during a series of county forums last week — that their views had been discounted by former Sarasota County administrator Jim Ley.
Nearly all those who attended a series of five public meetings last week to gather input on desired qualities in the next county administrator said they wanted a good listener and collaborator.
"It became a closed door," said Marian Pomeroy, finance director for the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program. "The former administrator wasn't interested. He did not want to know what our thoughts were and our expertise was considered negligible."
The meetings, which drew over 100 attendees, will allow Atlanta-based The Mercer Group to develop a profile of the kind of county administrator the community wants. Brochures advertising the position are expected to go out this week.
The new administrator will replace Ley, who resigned under fire in May after revelations of problems in purchasing practices. The process is expected to take a few more months.
Attorney Bill Merrill said the government should reach out to its citizenry more to tap into its expertise.
"The citizens are Sarasota's best assets — even more so than the beach," Merrill said.
Some attendees said they hoped interim County Administrator Terry Lewis would change his mind and seek the position full-time, or joked that they hoped Lewis could be cloned.
Many, though, said they wanted someone with a lot of experience in government and the private sector.
Other desired qualities that emerged were an interest in protecting the environment, strong ethics and the ability to be humble. Many also said they wanted someone who would allow the elected County Commission to make policy decisions.
Commissioners will choose the next administrator.
"The message I heard was that people felt disconnected from government," Commissioner Joe Barbetta said after attending one of the meetings. "At least if you feel you have a shot at being heard, that's important."
The use of a search firm to handle the search process is a departure from when Ley was hired in 1997. Then, the commission picked a selection committee to narrow the candidates, a decision that has since been criticized for not being open enough.

This Week @ MHS
If you are in the neighborhood at lunch time on Wednesday, 1 August, plan to attend our brown-bag lunch.Research fellow Justin Clark, University of Southern California, will present "Training the Eyes: Romantic Vision and Class Formation in Boston, 1830-1870." Clark will describe his work examining why, in the spectacular world of the nineteenth-century city, Boston's Transcendentalists, clairvoyants, blind autobiographers, naturalists, artists, photographers, and numerous others became invested in seeing more than meets the eye, leaving time for discussion with audience members.
Before or after lunch -- or anytime between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Saturday -- take some time to explore our latest exhibition, Mr. Madison's War: The Controversial War of 1812, showcasing a number of letters, broadsides, artifacts, and images from the Society's rich collections including a midshipman's log of the USS Constitution describing the ship's first great victory, letters written by John Quincy Adams to his mother while serving as the American minister to Russia, and a brass cannon captured from the British at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815.
And on Saturday, 4 August, do not miss "The History and Collections of the MHS," our regular building tour. The 90-minute tour departs our front lobby promptly at 10:00 AM.

Interesting song choice for a food commercial. I wonder if they know the lyrics of the chorus...
This is probably an attemp to create sth like a lovemark and disruption. The message is probably sth like: If you are a rebel and you like art, McDonalds should be a part of your llifestyle. (yuck!) A poor attempt for a viral video and outdoor advertising connected with the "viral" - nothing new, really! I mean, I know what they were trying to achieve with this add, but i dont think this will make ppl think more/better of McDonalds, neither will it make them buy more food in there. I do like the design of the billboards, but still hate McDonalds...see? Didnt work on me.

One of the major trends in recent years has been for more and better dust collection – especially for tools that generate fine dust and silica. Dust of this type is hard on vacuums because it tends to clog the filters.
That is not a problem with this tool-activated vac because it features a pair of self-cleaning filters. Cleaning happens automatically. Every so often the machine reverses the flow of air through one of the filters; the other filter continues to draw so suction is not interrupted. One of the more interesting things about this tool is the end of the hose, which is configured to lock on to the dust ports of various DeWalt shrouds. If the tool you are using is not a DeWalt you can equip its dust port with one of several different adaptors made for that purpose.

SEE ALSO: Medical group pulls support for Agana after Obama-Hitler comparison
By Justin Elliott
In May, a previously unknown group started pouring money into Ohio's U.S. Senate race, considered one of the most important in the country and currently the nation's most expensive.
The group, the Government Integrity Fund, has spent more than $1 million so far on TV ads bashing Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown and praising his Republican opponent, Josh Mandel.
Like many other such nonprofit groups that are playing a dominant role in this year's elections, the Government Integrity Fund is shrouded in mystery. It isn't required to reveal donors, nor has it answered questions about who runs the group. The fund's bare-bones website lists no contact information beyond a P.O. box.
The only name listed on incorporation papers for the group is a Columbus lawyer, William Todd, who told ProPublica, "I really have no role in their affairs." (In June, Todd also declined to respond to questions from a Huffington Post reporter, citing attorney-client privilege.)
But previously unreported documents filed with an Ohio television station pull back the curtain a bit: The Government Integrity Fund is run by a state lobbyist who in turn employs a former top Mandel staffer.
The lobbyist, Tom Norris, is listed as the Government Integrity Fund's chairman and treasurer. Norris owns an Ohio lobbying firm, Cap Square Solutions, and last year hired a top Mandel aide, Joel Riter, to work at the firm.
Riter's role in the Government Integrity Fund, if any, is not clear. The former Mandel aide declined to say whether he is involved with the group that is chaired by his current boss and running ads in support of his former boss.
"I can't talk to you about this," he told ProPublica. "I'm not going to comment on any kind of involvement I have with anyone."
Norris did not respond to requests for comment, nor did the Mandel campaign.
The documents identifying Norris as the chairman of the fund are public because of a Federal Communications Commission rule requiring TV stations to keep detailed records about political advertisers. The files can be valuable, offering a look at exactly who is spending and how much. Until recently, the documents were only available by physically traveling to stations. ProPublica's Free the Files project has spotlighted the issue, and this summer, the FCC passed a rule requiring the stations in the nation's top markets to upload the files to a government website.
The documents were filed with a Cincinnati NBC affiliate, WLWT, one of the stations the group has been advertising on.
Here is a fund ad that attacks Sen. Brown for purportedly turning his back on his younger, more honorable self: "Young Sherrod Brown was independent of Wall Street," the announcer says. "Today Sherrod Brown takes big money from those same corporate interests."
The Associated Press reported last month that outside groups have spent $15 million supporting Mandel compared with about $3 million on the Democratic side.
Besides identifying Norris as the chairman of the group, the form filed with the TV station shows that the Government Integrity Fund has an office at 208 East State Street, a few blocks from the state house in Columbus. Riter, the former Mandel aide, also has an office in the building.
Asked about his office at 208 East State Street, Riter said: "Whatever office Government Integrity Fund has is not mine."
Outside groups are not allowed to coordinate with campaigns, but it is common for politicians' former aides to be involved with such groups.
Riter first worked as an aide to Mandel during the candidate's stint in the Ohio Legislature. Riter then became field director for Mandel's campaign for state treasurer, joining the treasurer's office as constituent and executive agency liaison after Mandel won the race. Riter left his state job in the treasurer's office after six months to become a lobbyist at Cap Square in 2011. According to state records, the firm lobbies for a range of interests, including the Ohio Ready Mixed Concrete Association and medical device companies.
Riter was featured in a Dayton Daily News article earlier this year investigating Mandel's practice of hiring former campaign workers for state jobs. (That piece led a Democratic legislator to file an ethics complaint against Riter, who has contested the charges.)
The Government Integrity Fund was created in May 2011, and an affiliated super PAC, the Government Integrity Fund Action Network, registered with the Federal Election Commission two months later.
The super PAC, which does have to report its donors, has not been active and raised just $10,500 through the end of June, all but $500 from New York financier and benefactor of conservative causes Roger Hertog. Hertog also gave $5,000 directly to Mandel's campaign last year. Hertog declined to comment.
Brown campaign spokesman Justin Barasky said that the Government Integrity Fund is the fourth largest outside group on the Republican side in Ohio, behind such national outfits as the Karl Rove-affiliated Crossroads GPS. "We don't know anything else about them," he said. "They are the only secretly funded group that is based here."
This story, and others like it, underscore the need for REAL campaign reform. This anonymous manipulation by throwing obscene amounts of money around has got to be stopped. And I mean BOTH parties.
Josh Mandel is a former U.S. Marine who served his country. It's about time we have politicians who give more than lip service for our country.
Mandel as a Marine Corps veteran, served two tours in Iraq and served as State Representative from the 17th Ohio House District. He was first elected State Representative in 2006, knocking on 19,679 doors and wearing out three pairs of shoes. In 2008 he was re-elected to a second term, representing a district with a 2:1 Democrat to Republican voter ratio. Treasurer Mandel has a record of advancing the free enterprise system, advocating for limited government, and standing up to bureaucrats who treat businesses as if they're "guilty until proven innocent".
The current smear campaign being waged on behalf of Brown is disgusting.
Boy I see the right wing attack group ads seem to be working . As I read some of the comments here.
Once again you, thethinker, have "EXPOSED" the Vindy. The Vindy does not have editors. Keep up the good work!
The need for full disclosure of all political campaign donors is painfully obvious. Otherwise elections degenerate into auctions. Secretive super PACs, like this outfit, operate like criminal gangs who also find it beneficial to hide the identity of their operatives. Come clean Josh! Whose puppet are you?
Exposed is correct! Why should you be allowed to hide behind such divisive tactics, propaganda is propaganda. We are unable judge the motives of this entity or others like it if they hide behind the of cloak secrecy.
If they have an opinion be proud and tell us who and what you are so I can judge, if you are honest and forthright. Otherwise I should question your motives and your integrity. I see this as only astute and reasonable thought. Questioning who or what things, are is the only way we can learn the usefulness of the information provided.
You mention 2 entities their web site does tell you who they are and their agenda. This does allow us to judge their motives.
On the other hand Government Integrity does not tell you who they. Is it funded by Terrorist the Chinese or maybe the Russian? We don't know.
I question validity of their ads, because they are unwilling to support their statement without corporate vale. I also believe that corporations are not people and should not be allowed to participate in the debate. I'm sure they can't produce a birth certificate or a death certificate.
By allowing such blind attacks from either side of the aisle is wrong and should be stopped.
Mandel is a Zionist who doesn't care a bit about the US other than ensuring its support for Israel. He'll use any tactic to get his way, as was seen in the treasurer race.
The way he speaks, it's clear that he feels that he's on a mission from god. Unfortunately, it just exposes his mental state and messiah complex.
In other words, this is not some normal GOP candidate. This is a man whose allegiance is to a foreign state, not the US. The fact he's made it this far is scary enough, the fact that people are buying into his underhanded ways is even scarier.
Back on July 15, Mr Francisco and Ms Lenhoff of YSU issued a press release *bragging* about the university teaming-up with ProPublica, the "author" of this article. The Vindy ballyhooed the venture, even though ProPublica is a far-left organization with a well-paid staff of about three dozen, based in NYC. ProPublica "reports on" (read "goes after") only those issues and people leftists/progressives do not like. Their editor-in-chief is paid almost $600,000 a year, thanks in large part to the founders, leftist billionaires Herb and Marion Sandler. (Yes, the same Sandlers of Golden West Financial fame -- or infamy -- fund ProPublica to the tune of $10 million/year.) To see a page one article in The Vindy as if it is anything close to objective reporting is breath-taking.
Any reader expecting to get any "news" that is not written with a democratic slant is delusional. When the opposing party's candidate raises $ then we need to reform the financing of politics. When it is "our" candidate, we tend to play it down. This valley has been so slanted for so long-when equal time is given to the repub's, the dems can't comprehend it. Similar situation in Cuyahoga County with Dimora and his ilk. He still doesn't think he did anything wrong because politics has been so crooked for so long. If you are in the minority here, it is easier to just ignore most of what is reported and vote the way you want. Don't try to convince each other we are smarter-you are dumber. That kind of discussion gets nowhere. Kind of like religion-our beliefs are pretty much set when we reach adulthood. Very seldom will you change a person of the opposing view to your way of thinking, voting, worshipping. What do you think? Are you really satisfied with ANY politician? I for one am not.

This is awful.You say that she started working there recently... how recently? If she has worked there for 6 months she would qualify for FMLA (even though she might not need many accommodations this will show that the company is aware of her condition) and be protected. At the very least she should document what is happening as it seems fairly clear that she is being discriminated against due to a medical condition. It is beyond inappropriate for any management to make an off handed comment like "Use your good eye" and I hope there is a witness to it. I have been boycotting WalMart for years and am always glad that I do when I read something like this.

BASEL, Switzerland (AP) - The world's major central banks have endorsed new rules that will require banks to hold more capital in reserve than they currently do.
The rules are designed to strengthen bank finances and rein in excessive risk-taking.
Banks will have to hold a mandatory reserve of 4.5 percent of their balance sheet and an emergency reserve of 2.5 percent.
The combined total will rise to 8.5 percent by the end of the decade.
Forcing banks to keep more capital on hand will restrict the amount of loans they can make, but it will make them better able to withstand the blow if many of those loans go sour.
U.S. officials say the new standards are a "significant step forward in reducing the incidence and severity of future financial crises."
But some bankers are protesting. They saying the requirements may dampen the recovery by forcing them to reduce the lending that fuels economic growth.
