The class members were welcomed by the reunion committee and each put their name in for the three door prize drawings consisting of products from local communities which included maple syrups, honey, concord grape juice, wine, cheese cake mixes, wine jelly, candles, candies and pottery. A variety of hors d'oeuvres prepared by the reunion committee was served as classmates were able to visit along with wine tasting. Tammy Panek-Winder gave a blessing before dinner which was catered by La Casa D' Mangia and it included carve stations of prime rib and roasted turkey along with pasta primavera, baby red potatoes, salad and roll. Classmates were treated after dinner to an array of desserts also prepared by the reunion committee.

ESPN stepped out on a ledge with its coverage of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, but hole cards, excellent commentary and a $10,000 buy-in final table from start to finish made it a format that should be repeated at every chance.
The network's first "near-live" poker broadcast began about 5 p.m. on ESPN3.com, and the ESPN2 simulcast kicked off at 10 p.m. with James Hartigan and Daniel Negreanu in the booth.
And about 3:30 a.m. ET, Galen Hall outlasted Chris Oliver to claim the $2.3 million top prize. (Which included quite an impressive fold.)
To the casual viewer -- the target audience of ESPN's World Series of Poker broadcasts -- that length of a viewing commitment is unrealistic. To a poker enthusiast, someone who wants to see how an actual final table is played out, it's addictive.
ESPN.com poker editor Andrew Feldman turned to the normally pessimistic Two Plus Two forums for feedback. The response was overwhelming positive, with the majority of the praise for commentators James Hartigan and Daniel Negreanu.
Lon McEachern and Norman Chad are fine for ESPN's one-hour highlight shows, but they understandably would've flopped in this situation.
Hartigan has worked on live broadcasts for the EPT and anchored ESPN's live broadcast online of this year's WSOP final table (which was without hole cards), so he's comfortable in that role.
Negreanu is the perfect pro to have alongside Hartigan. His knowledge and enthusiasm for poker poured out during the broadcast and brings a name recognition only a few could match.
He might be the only choice if and when ESPN does this again. Can you imagine six hours of Phil Hellmuth?
The small criticisms included not seeing all of the hole cards on every hand, such as some raised preflop pots, and a few too many PokerStars.net commercials. (And how many times did they show the Alexander Ovechkin SportsCenter ad?)
The biggest question now is when will this happen again? Another NAPT event, possibly, considering the money PokerStars probably had to line ESPN's pockets with to make this happen.
Unfortunately, it's very unlikely we'll see this at a WSOP main event final table.
Everyone in the room at the PCA on Saturday was sequestered. No outside contact, no cell phone to protect the event. I can't see the WSOP giving up the atmosphere the "November Nine" creates at the Rio.
But maybe there's a best of both worlds. What poker fan wouldn't burn some summer hours watching some live final WSOP tables from preliminary events? Count me in.

Born of Catholic parents at Maastriche, Holland, 28 March, 1849; died at Delft 17 March, 1897. At the age of eighteen he was sent to the polytechnical school at Delft, where he obtained the degree of civil engineer after a brilliant examination. A few months later he was appointed a teacher at the Royal Military Academy of Breda, where he published a highly-appreciated textbook on surveying—"Leerboek over landmeten en waterpassen" (Breda, 1879). In 1874 he submitted to the Royal Academy of Amsterdam a treatise on the errors in a plane and in space, and shortly afterwards another on the interpolation formula of Tchebychef, both treatises testifying to an uncommon degree of mathematical intuition. As early as 1878 he was offered the professorship of geodesy and surveying at the polytechnical school at Delft. In 1880 he was elected a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in the transactions of which he published a series of important investigations, mostly connected with geodesy: on the calculation of distance and azimuth from longitude and latitude—"Berekening van afstand en azimuth uit lengte en breedte"; concerning the connexion of triangular nets of higher and lower order—"Over de aansluiting van een driehoekennet van lagere orde aan 3 punten van een net van hoogere orde"; on cartographical projections—"Studien van kaart-projectieën"; on the use of Mercator's projection in equatorial triangulation, etc.
Schols however did not confine his interests to geodesy. In connexion with the theory of probability we possess from his hand three communications on the Law of Errors, while of his works on pure mathematics his researches on a semi-convergent series and on errors in logarithmic tables may be mentioned. His activity in civil engineering is well illustrated by the prominent part he took in the publication of the text-book on hydraulic architecture—"Waterbouwkunde", and a detailed investigation into bending moments and shearing stresses in railway bridges. Important national services were rendered by Schols by a conscientious preparation and supervision of the new geographical survey of Holland, which had been undertaken in 1886 by order of the Government. Schols, who had been secretary of the Royal Surveying and Levelling Committee since 1881, threw himself into the work with characteristic ardour. He devised an elaborate plan of proceeding and conducted the operations without allowing the smallest detail to escape him. At the time of his premature death (1897) the greater part of the primary triangulation had been finished.
Unequalled as a teacher he commanded the highest admiration by the masterly way in which he exposed and discussed the most intricate problems, and many scientists of recognized authority were known to take their places on the benches among his pupils. His treatises and calculations recommended themselves by an extreme simplicity, at the same time being classic for their completeness and elegance. In his social intercourse he was amiable and engaging, and in return was universally esteemed and honoured. His energy was remarkable, and the unflinching resolution with which he executed a task, which failing health continually menaced with frustration, cannot be contemplated without admiration. Naturally of a reserved disposition, his habits were simple and his manners unassuming, nor was he ever known to show the slightest vanity or self-esteem on account of the numerous distinctions which were showered upon him; love of truth was his only passion. Three things he always cherished and treasured in the midst of his restless activity: the love of his country, his family, and his religion. He died of consumption at the age of 48.

The project, funded by federal stimulus grant money awarded in 2009, is part of the city's sustainability effort and is designed to reduce energy costs and get more years out of the roofing surface on the public building.
Officials are recommending that Mavcon Construction, of Portage, be awarded the project at a bid cost of $181,013.
That's about $70,000 more than a bid submitted by a Paw Paw company. But city officials said that bid was disqualified because the company failed to provide a bid bond and other required documentation. A $146,000 quote from a Battle Creek firm was withdrawn due to the bidder's "calculation error," officials said.
Larry Fischer, Public Services plant engineer, said the current rubber-membrane-and-stone roofing system was installed in 1993. In a memo to commissioners, Fischer said it has been patched several times, but continues to leak into third-floor offices on the south end of City Hall.
The green roof design begins with laying a "thermoplastic olefin membrane" on the roof's surface that provides a waterproof barrier and reflects any light that passes through the cover vegetation.
Next, a series of trays manufactured from recycled plastic are filled with soil and specially selected plants. The planted trays cover the membrane.
Bruce Merchant, Public Services director, said the vegetation acts as an added layer of insulation. Instead of a plastic roofing surface that can absorb heat in the summer and allow building heat loss in winter, the vegetation is designed to reduce both cooling load and heat loss. In addition, it absorbs rainwater and reduces runoff into storm sewers.
Fischer said the green roof design is expected to last at least 30 years, a decade longer than current, conventional surfaces.
Fischer said the new city hall roof will be nearly identical to one just installed on a new Student Excellence Center at Kalamazoo Valley Community College's Texas Township campus.
Officials say the roof design for the 79-year-old city hall also has passed muster with the Michigan State Historical Office. The only stipulation is that the roof plants may not grow higher than the 38-inch-tall parapet wall.
Merchant said specifications call for lower-growing native plant species, including some that bloom. The perennials must be able to survive a variety of weather conditions without irrigation, and mowing or regular maintenance will not be required.
In other business tonight, commissioners also will be asked to approve $173,425 to purchase 31 new mobile digital video recorders and support equipment for Public Safety patrol cars.
The units will replace 10-year-old dash-cam systems that use obsolete VHS tapes to record audio and video of police patrols. The funding comes from U.S. Department of Justice grants.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the second-floor city commission chambers at Kalamazoo City Hall.

Most anticipated movies of the 2012 fall film festival season
'Cloud Atlas,' 'Seven Psychopaths,' 'The Master' and more
'Frances Ha'
Director: Noah Baumbach
Starring: Greta Gerwig, Adam Driver, Mickey Sumner
Screening at: Toronto, New York
Why: Baumbach's last film, "Greenberg," has a legion of critical fans, but you can argue he hasn't been able to put all the pieces together since "The Squid and the Whale." "Ha" finds Baumbach collaborating with his "Greenberg" star Gerwig on yet another story of a college graduate trying to make it in the Big Apple. In a nod, we assume, to Woody Allen's "Manhattan," Baumbach has shot the entire feature in black and white. The programmers at both TIFF and NYFF are enamored with the results and with "Girls" breakout Adam Driver part of the very small ensemble it's clearly a must-see at either festival.

A composer and organist, born at Vaduz, in the Principality of Lichtenstein, Bavaria, 17 March, 1839; died at Munich, 25 Nov., 1901. When seven years old, he already served as organist in his parish church, and at the age of eight composed a mass for three voices. After enjoying for a short time the instruction of Choir-master Schmutzer in Feldkirch, he attended the conservatory at Munich from 1851 to 1854, and finished his musical education with a course under Franz Lachner. In 1859 he was appointed professor of the theory of music and organ at the conservatory, a position which he held until a few months before his death. Besides his duties as teacher he acted successively as organist at the court Church of St. Michael, conductor of the Munich Oratorio Society, and instructor of the solo artists at the royal opera. In 1867 he received the title of royal professor, and became inspector of the newly established royal school for music, now called the Royal Academy of Music. In 1877 he was promoted to the rank of royal court conductor, which position carried with it the direction of the music in the royal chapel. Honoured by his prince with the title of nobility and accorded the honorary degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the Munich University, Rheinberger for more than forty years wielded as teacher of many of the most gifted young musicians of Europe and America, perhaps more influence than any of his contemporaries. As a composer he was remarkable for his power of invention, masterful technique, and a noble, solid style. Among his two hundred compositions are oratorios (notably "Christoforus" and "Monfort"); two operas; cantatas for soli, chorus, and orchestra ("The Star of Bethlehem", "Toggenburg", "Klãrchen auf Eberstein" etc.); smaller works for chorus and orchestra; symphonies ("Wallenstein"), overtures, and chamber music for various combinations of instruments, Most important of all his instrumental works are his twenty sonatas for organ, the most notable productions in this form since Mendelssohn. Rheinberger wrote many works to liturgical texts, namely, twelve masses (one for double chorus, three for four voices a cappella, three for women's voices and organ, two for men's voices and one with orchestra), a requiem, Stabat Mater, and a large number of motets, and smaller pieces. Rheinbergen's masses rank high as works of art, but some of them are defective in the treatment of the text. Joseph Renner, Jr., has recently remedied most of these defects, and made the masses available for liturgical purposes.

Pitcher Wandy Rodriguez has exercised his $13 million player option to return to the Pirates in 2014.
The Pirates will be responsible for $7.5 million, while the Houston Astros -- Rodriguez's former team -- will be on the hook for $5.5 million.
The option was part of a three-year deal Rodriguez signed with the Astros in 2011. It became a player option once Rodriguez was traded to the Pirates in July 2012.
Rodriguez, who turns 35 in January, finished the last four months of the season on the disabled list with a forearm injury. He is 11-8 with a 3.66 ERA in 24 starts since joining the Pirates.

What is in this article?:
"It's still early in the game for the new farm bill, and a lot of regulations will have to be written and a lot of work will have to be done for implementation," says John Anderson, deputy chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, Washington, who discussed the legislation at the annual Producer Advisory Council conference attended by farmers from across north Mississippi. "You need to be familiarizing yourself with decisions that will have to be made," he says.
JOHN ANDERSON, left, deputy senior economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, Washington, discussed provisions of the new farm bill at the annual meeting of the North Mississippi Producer Advisory Council. With him, from left, are Angus Catchot, Mississippi State University Extension entomology professor; Trent Irby, MSU assistant Extension professor of plant and soil sciences; and Jay Phelps, consultant, Pontotoc, Miss.
Changes in crop insurance
Crop insurance: The new legislation makes permanent the Enterprise Unit subsidy, which was a pilot program for several years, Anderson says.
"I think this is a good thing. Enterprise units allow you to do some aggregation and get a little lower premium and a little more attractive subsidy on crop insurance. You will be able to develop separate irrigated and non-irrigated enterprise units, whereas in the past they were separate, and in lot of cases this was not terribly attractive.
"I think this change will make it more attractive to a lot of farmers; it should make guarantees and indemnities more closely match actual insurance, and make everyone feel better about how the crop insurance program is working."
"Some clarification is needed, I think, in the Title XI crop insurance section, which prioritizes a peanut revenue protection insurance program and rice gross margin insurance for 2015.
"The language basically says USDA is going to do everything it can to make sure we have a functioning revenue protection program for peanuts and a gross margin program for rice by 2015. This has been a huge deal for the peanut industry.
"I'm not sure what USDA means by saying they're going to make these a priority and do everything they can to get them done. But I think they will be putting some resources into trying to make these new products available."
During discussions in Congress about moving the new farm bill more toward an insurance basis, Anderson says, "There was a lot of apprehension across the South, where we've not had as much experience — perhaps more bad experience — with crop insurance. But the reality is that farm programs are moving toward crop insurance, and we need to be taking a hard look at this and see how we can make it work for us."
Payment limits: There is now a $145,000 limit on all Title 1 program payments, Anderson notes, which can be doubled for couples, as under current law.
"In practical terms, I think it's a less restrictive payment limit than what we've had to this point. There was some dissatisfaction with this by some in Congress who wanted more restrictive payment limits. There is a $900,000 adjusted gross income limit, which as I read it, is a hard cap."
Farm program costs: "We've all heard, and seen in the media, that the Congressional Budget Office has put the cost of this legislation at almost $1 trillion," Anderson says.
"But keep in mind, that's over 10 years, about $95.5 billion per year on average.
"That's a savings over the 10-year baseline of about $17 billion, $14 billion of which essentially comes out of commodity programs, with a lot of the savings from repeal of direct payment and ACRE programs.

Hot Topic
Bold reforms not expected in China
It would be premature to expect China's new Politburo Standing Committee, which was unveiled on 15 November, to initiate bold reforms any time soon, says Linda Jakobson, East Asia Program Director at the Lowy Institute.
Jakobson writes in The Australian that, apart from incoming General Secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, the remaining men are all in their sixties and likely to be cautious about promoting far-reaching changes. Most have strong ties to 86-year-old former president Jiang Zemin, who "almost literally returned from his grave" to make his mark on the new Politburo Standing Committee. Two men with reformist reputations, Li Yuanchao, an ally of outgoing president Hu Jintao, and Guangdong Party chief Wang Yang were passed over for places on China's top governing body. At least three of the seven are "princelings", descendants of China's revolutionary leaders who dominate government and industry in the PRC today.
While economists are likely to be disappointed that former vice premier Wang Qishan was not appointed to a top economic post, Jakobson writes that the "no-nonsense economist" and competent crisis manager will be well suited to tackling corruption as head of the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection. No women were elevated to the seven-member Standing Committee, although two now sit on the twenty-five member Politburo.

Loyola University New Orleans fell to Emmanuel College 62-54 in women's basketball in the play-in game of the SSAC tournament on Wednesday afternoon at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama.
Loyola entered the matchup as the fifth seed in the west playing against Emmanuel, the fourth seed in the eastern division of the SSAC. The matchup proved close as neither team led by more than the final margin of eight.
The first half was a tight affair as Loyola held the lead for much of the period. The Wolf Pack's biggest advantage was a six point margin which occurred after Katie Youngblood scored a quick five points to push the lead to 15-9 with 13:30 remaining in the opening stanza. Loyola held the upper hand until Ashley Skelton hit a three pointer with 3:45 left to give the Lions their first lead of the half. Mariah Davis made a jumper with six seconds still on the clock to give Emmanuel a 28-27 halftime lead.
The Lions scored 11 of the first 15 points of the second half as Davis had five to help Emmanuel extended their advantage to 39-33.
Loyola hung around for the rest of the game and cut the lead to three when Jasmine Brewer spun and made a layup with 93 seconds remaining in the contest. However, Kaylyn Young made a layup then Davis forced a jump ball with Janeicia Neely. Possession went to Emmanuel and Victoria Rogers scored a layup from Young to push the lead back to seven.
Brewer led the Wolf Pack in scoring with 12 points. Neely and Youngblood each scored 11 while combining for seven assists. Youngblood had a team high six rebounds. Megen Berner tallied eight points in her last collegiate game for the Wolf Pack.
The Lions were led by 21 points from Young, who also put up six assists. Rogers tallied 14 while Davis put up nine and a team high six rebounds.
Loyola (11-15, 8-10) hung in the game despite shooting 33.3% from the field and 23.5% from the three point line. Emmanuel (16-10, 10-8) shot 50% from the field and 44.4% from behind the arc, which was the difference as the teams both pulled down 32 rebounds. The turnovers were 21-19 in favor of Loyola.
Emmanuel will advance to the quarterfinals of the SSAC tournament where they will face the top seed in the west and #19 nationally ranked Faulkner University. Loyola's season comes to a close with the defeat.

We offer the widest choice of premium pipe, manhole and connector seals as well as sophisticated pipe rehabilitation systems to assure productivity over the entire pipe cycle. Our leading product range, combined with our global expertise and local service, ensure superior operation with complete confidence.
Testament to its on-going commitment to quality, Trelleborg's pipe seals operation has received certification for its Power-Lock™, Sewer-Lock™ above 450mm and Anger-Lock™ systems, by the Instituto Argentino de Normalización y Certificación (IRAM).
Concrete pipes have long been used for water and wastewater applications; in fact their origins can be traced back as far as the Roman times. But with rapid urbanization and population growth putting increased pressure on modern pipeline networks, the need to maximize concrete pipe performance has never been more evident.
Trelleborg's MtH Technology makes the difference.
Until recently, the focus of sanitary sewer rehabilitation has primarily been on relining the main sewer pipe manhole to manhole and sealing the manhole structures. Lateral pipes have been neglected because of its complexities. Incorporating a comprehensive approach with a permanent solution reduced Groundwater Bacteria from 50,000 MPN/100ML to nearly zero.

A Real Reason to Celebrate L.A.'s 230th Birthday | KCET
A Real Reason to Celebrate L.A.'s 230th Birthday
A few months ago, the future of Olvera Street -- the so-called site of L.A.'s birthplace -- hung in the balance. Vendors along the street, many descendants of the city's first settlers, worried escalating rent prices would drive them out of business along the marketplace.
Warnings hung throughout the street -- in a restaurant, or shop; on a door, or window; a petition on a countertop, or flier posted on a wall. "Save Olvera Street," they declared.
On Sunday, the city truly had a reason to celebrate L.A.'s so-called 230th birthday celebration, as those descendants of the original settlers led festivities -- cake-cutting, music, entertainment in Olvera Street Plaza.
Last May, the city saved Olvera Street.
For more than a decade, tenants fought with the city in its attempt to increase rent prices. This year, the Los Angeles City Council finally voted in favor of increasing rent for most of the shop owners on Olvera Street, but with enough concessions to strike an agreement. The concession agreement phases in the market rate rents over a number of years.
The concessions preserve a treasure that draws more than three million yearly visitors to the heart of downtown.
As co-chair of the Olvera Street Merchants Association, Albert Gribbell played a key role in the negotiations. The fight was fierce on both sides.
"I'm shocked," he said, at the time of negotiations. "I'm an active Angeleno, born and raised in the city, but I still can't understand how successive administrations have so little respect and care for the birthplace of the city. It's unfathomable to me."
Gribbell's grandfather was the first merchant on Olvera Street, introduced to the area in 1930 by a young, wealthy socialite. Christine Sterling was the founder and savior of the street, once a hangout for prostitutes and criminals. She helped stop the city's plan to bulldoze the area, and instead built a Mexican marketplace.
Today, it features outdoor cafes, shops and kiosks, authentic Mexican food, souvenirs, 27 historic buildings, a Mexican-style plaza, and plenty of entertainment.
For a look at the marketplace of yesteryear, click on the video below:

MONTAGUE -- After nine months of review, including some public criticism, a Victorian-style residential development was given the go-ahead to be born.
The controversial proposal for the site of the former Ravenswood Resort easily garnered the necessary approval Monday night from the Montague City Council. The 6-1 vote in favor of the planned unit development agreement was quite a contrast to the planning commission's narrow 4-3 vote in recommending approval earlier this month.
The development, which will feature a condominium-style association, is expected to feature 29 residences with many having unattached carriage houses, a large, shared green space, a swimming pool and slips for boats. City-hired planning consultant Ryan Kilpatrick pointed out that more than 35 percent of the site being left as open space is a "pretty big chunk" for this type of development.
Mike Summers, who has lived on the site for eight years and is a member of the development team, thanked the council for its support. He admitted that the 4-3 vote from the planning commission was shocking.
"What you guys did today was give us some confidence," Summers told council members after most of the 30-person audience had left following the vote. "It will be a quality development in the end. It's something that we'll all be proud of."
As has been commonplace at city meetings involving the proposed development, some residents, many who live on Old Channel Trail which runs adjacent to the site, criticized the project and asked for the council to turn down the agreement. Many cited the number of buildings as being too many for the 8.1-acre site.
The planned unit development status allowed the project to feature more units than would normally have been allowed for a traditional subdivision on the site.
"We are not against development," said Sally Whitbeck, who lives on Old Channel Trail. "We are against more than 50 buildings on an 8-acre site."
Among the other concerns raised by residents at Monday's meeting were: the waivers and relaxations granted for the development such as home heights of 35 feet and "keyholing" for additional homes to access White Lake; the alleged lack of compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood; the soil that will be moved from the natural bluff on the property; the trees being removed; parking for visitors; and whether the units will sell with the current Michigan economy.
Mayor Henry Roesler Jr., who previously called the proposal a tremendous benefit to the community because it was replacing a deteriorating resort, defended the actions of the planning commission and city council. Some residents had accused city officials of not listening to residents' concerns.
He pointed out that planning commissioners and city council members have to balance the interests of the property owner and residents, while making sure not to deprive a property owner of a reasonable return on his or her investment.
"This was done because it was acceptable to the planning commission and the city," Mayor Roesler said. "It was approved on the merits of the project."
Roger Scharmer, a former city councilman and former planning commission member, booed the council's action after the vote, telling the mayor it was "wrong, wrong."
The nine conditions the planning commission attached to its recommendation were part of the council's approval. One of the conditions sets a standard that will help preserve the views to White Lake from Old Channel Trail.
The development team of Summers, Wayne Visbeen and Gordy Bruinsma is hopeful that construction of the infrastructure and first units will take place next year.
Before that happens, the project needs additional approval from various agencies and at least six units sold.
Various permits are needed from the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Quality, Muskegon County, the Army Corps of Engineers, the city engineer and others. Mike Timmer, project engineer for the developers, estimated that the process to receive those permits would take three months.
In addition to the four units that the development team's families are expected to buy, six other units must be reserved before construction on the development can begin. The estimated costs for the homes and lots are expected to range from $350,000 to $695,000.
Now with the city's approval of the project, Summers said a market analysis and thorough marketing of the development will be conducted.
Based on the agreement, the project is to be completed by July 1, 2018, and an annual report must be filed by Ravenswood until construction begins.

Straight back leg?

Straight back leg?
Hi Roger,
When I am blasting across the water I typically have a straight back leg and bent front leg (opposite of all the pictures I see). I end up in this stance in order to make upwind performance and even keep a nice beam reach. The most I ever get is two straight legs. Consequently I end up spinning the fin a lot due to the back leg pressure. Is this stance due to harness position or mast track position? My most used gear is a 7.5 retro on a naish vector 114 with a true ames 34 convert or a 44 sweeper depending on the amount of chop. I'm a 6 ft 170 lb guy. I position the mast track in the center. As far as harness goes, I can sail for a couple of seconds without hands. I tend to set the lines so that the sail drifts forward and requires a little back hand pressure. I can't help but feel that I've learned an abnormal stance due to gear setup and hope that fixing this will help unlock more speed, keep better balance in jibes, achieve better sailing angles, ... Thanks for any help.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
And his sterling reputation doesn't come cheap.
Witness Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-A ) (NYSE: BRK-B ) newly announced 3-billion-Swiss-franc investment in troubled re-insurer Swiss Re: It's on the same sort of extraordinary terms that have been the hallmark of the string of transactions he has made in this crisis.
Buffett brings three things to the table: deep pockets, the ability to ink a deal very quickly, and his reputation as an extremely savvy investor. All three make him the partner of choice for companies that have a temporary need for capital and wish to restore investor confidence.
The reputational premium
In these trying times, confidence is a commodity that commands a very hefty liquidity and reputational premium. Just take a look at the terms Buffett got on these "crisis deals" in 2008 and 2009:
Equity kicker
Swiss Re
3 billion SFr ($2.6 billion) in perpetual convertible notes paying 12% interest
The notes can be converted into Swiss Re shares at SFr 25 in three years' time.
Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG )
$300 million in senior unsecured debt paying 15% interest
General Electric (NYSE: GE )
$3 billion in preferred shares paying a 10% dividend
Berkshire also receives warrants to purchase GE shares at a strike price of $22.25.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS )
$5 billion in preferred shares paying a 10% dividend
Berkshire also receives warrants to purchase Goldman shares at a strike price of $115.
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company acquisition by Mars
$4.4 billion in subordinated debt
Berkshire simultaneously committed to buy a minority equity interest for $2.1 billion in the Wrigley Company subsidiary.
The weighted average yield on $10.9 billion invested (excluding the Wrigley investment -- as far as I can tell, the terms aren't public): 10.6%. This figure is likely to understate the average annualized return that Berkshire will ultimately earn on these investments since it doesn't account for potential gains from exercising equity warrants or the conversion option on the Swiss Re notes.
How an elephant runs faster than the market
Even if you believe the S&P 500 is fairly valued at current levels (I don't -- I think it remains slightly overvalued), I think it's unlikely that the market will generate a better return over the next three to five years … much less the next three to five decades. Buffett is getting paid more than the historical average stock market return to invest in a basket of securities that are senior to the common shares of some of the best-run, most profitable companies in the world. That's a pretty remarkable feat -- one that is only possible through the position and reputation he has built for himself and Berkshire.
Buffett is well aware that, given the increasing amounts of cash he needs to re-invest, it is going to become increasingly difficult to beat the market (even with shareholdings in superlative businesses such as Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG ) or Costco (Nasdaq: COST ) ). He has been very candid about this with Berkshire shareholders. However, he maintains for himself (and for those who will succeed him) the objective of achieving several percentage points of outperformance. These recent transactions are a blueprint for one way he can do this: charging temporarily distressed companies a heavy price to take his money and bask in his glow.

SPRINGFIELD - A few years ago, a missionary visited Evangel Assembly of God in Wilbraham and talked about the scourge of human trafficking.
"I was shocked and appalled. I started researching it and found out it was prevalent in the New England area today," Donna J. Saloio said.
Saloio learned that children, often runaways, are targeted for the sex trade.
She decided to try and do something to increase awareness, and through her church's SHINE Committee, organized a 5k run and walk-a-thon to raise awareness about human trafficking. Her goal was to raise $3,000. She said they raised $3,550 and had more than 100 participants at the Forest Park event on Saturday.
"It was nice to have so many show up," Saloio said.
She said they partnered with an organization called "Run for Freedom" in Florida, whose main goal is prevention and awareness about human trafficking. All the money raised from the run and walk will be given to Amirah, a non-profit organization in the Boston area, which is a safe house for survivors of commercial exploitation.
She told the crowd what they can do as parents, from talking with their children about the dangers of strangers to knowing where their children are at all times. She said it's important that parents know "that this stuff is out there."
Human trafficking often involves youth under 18, with 11 to 13 being the average age of children targeted for exploitation, she said. Girls more often than boys are victimized, she said.
"Coming to the 5k today just really makes a difference," Saloio said. "The more citizens that stand up against this is how we're going to fight this problem."
She said she hopes to make the run and walk-a-thon an annual event.

Name: Aedan Rinnan
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Race: Human
Aedan is usually dressed in simple light leather armor with light green clothes underneath and a slightly dirty, dark green cloak and hood which he uses to conceal himself both among the foliage and plant-life of nature and to hideh is face when he walks in the crowded cities in humanity as he takes comfort in at least having his face hidden at times. On his back, he has a light green quiver of arrows strapped as well as set of harnesses for sheathing his bow. His face is weathered from exposure to the element, both blistering cold and sweltering heat. Aedan's dark brown hair falls to his upper neck and is often slightly unkempt and gets greasy if he goes too long without a bath. His body is lean and muscular with more than a few scars here and there, but Aedan's most striking feature are a set of intense grey eyes that has a mixture of determination and sadness.
Weapons: An often-used but well-taken-care-of recurve bow, a quiver full of steel-tipped arrows, and two long daggers strapped to his sides.
Personality: Aedan is withdrawn and keeps to himself for the most part, only opening up to traveling companions and then only if he trusts them enough. He still remembers and honors the way of his family: respect nature, harm only those that deserve it, defend those that cannot defend themselves, and be loyal to the clan. He can be gruff at times and holds himself responsible for his clan's death (see below). He is, however, a loyal friend and generally compassionate. Though quick to feel his anger brew, Aedan generally stays calm during battle, knowing that emotion can cloud your judgment and lead to one's death.
Magic and/or other abilities: The only spells Aedan knows are ones he uses to preserve and maintain his weapons. However, Aedan has good hearing, keen eyes, and a good sense of smell. He is also a proficient tracker and knows what wild plants could be used for healing or poison. He is also passable at treating battle wounds, at least, enough to take care of minor wounds and patch someone up enough to take them to a real healer.
Bio(graphy): Aedan often looks back to his early life with longing and regret. He was born in a small clan of wilder folk, those that preferred to live in woods of the wilds rather than on farms or in cities. Aedan was brought up to know how fight and live in forests as well as track and hunt wild animals. For the first 13 years of his life, Aedan knew sight, smells, and sounds of the forest he and his clan lived in, occasionally visiting small villages or towns to barter for goods and well game that his clan could spare for a little money and supplies they could not make for themselves. They were poor but truly unique, living among the trees and nature.
That all changed when his clan entered a dispute with a local nobleman. He desired to expand his estate into their forest and profit off it by cutting down most of the trees and sell it as timber. After they drove off the loggers, his clan eventually met with the nobleman and the clan elder attempted to negotiate with him. The nobleman was unimpressed and demanded that they leave the forest at once, offering them a bag of silver for their trouble. Aedan's family protested, claiming that they had always lived there, but the man balked and insulted them. Angrily, Aedan shot at arrow through the man's hair, cutting him just a little. Thus, the noble grew angry and ordered the band of troops with him to bring sword and fire upon them. Witthin minutes, Aedan regretted his decision as the negotiation took place with his clan's camp, meaning that through one rash action, Aedan brought doom to everything he loved. In the ensuing chaos of the battle, Aedan was separated from his family, his father telling him to run away as the forest burned around them and he saw the people he loved bleed around him. In fear, Aedan complied and when he returned hows later, nothing was left.
There was little that Aedan could do after that. Unwilling to remain anywhere near the home he had lost, he left, blaming himself for his clan's deaths and his own misery. Eventually, he was found by a mercenary group and he spent some years as first a servant and later another member before leaving them entirely. Since then, he's taken any mercenary job he could, but careful not to do anything that would hurt more innocent people.

A woman was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center yesterday morning after she apparently wandered onto an abandoned train trestle over Newark Avenue in Jersey City and got stuck there, JCMC spokesman Mark Rabson said.
The woman was spotted around 8 a.m. by Port Authority Police, PAPD spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.
The woman, 79, of Jersey City was seen on the abandoned CSX rail tracks elevated above Newark Avenue near 7th Street.
Rabson said the woman had been stuck on the trestle between three or four hours — while the temperature was in the 40s — before she was discovered. The Jersey City Fire Department, Jersey City Police and Port Authority Police responded to the scene to help free the woman, Rabson said.
The woman, who officials say suffers from dementia, was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for evaluation, Rabson said.

Well, I've glanced at the possibilities and, frankly, am not impressed.
I'm talking about Presidential candidates here, of course. And, before I even get started, let me say I understand that, no matter what I say, there WILL be letters to the editor denouncing me for my opinions, calling me an idiot and suggesting I am a puppet, a tool, an agent provocateur of "the other party," whichever party that is.
OK, having said all that, well — sheesh! Is this the best and brightest? Are these declared, undeclared and otherwise certifiable candidates the best this nation has to offer?
Perhaps nearest and dearest to our hearts here in New Jersey is our governor, Chris Christie. So far, he has been the darling of the Republicans and is being courted big-time. Lots of people figured he was the best Republican available for the race. Once he's in the race, though, I imagine the gloves will come off and there will be no more Mister Nice Republican!
I don't know how I feel about Christie running for President. Generally, I have always felt that, at my level, it doesn't really matter who is President. Unless he disbands the military and we're attacked by Iran, whatever the President does doesn't always trickle down to me.
Lately, though, thanks to the nose-diving economy and unsettling foreign and domestic conditions, I am thinking about revisiting that notion.
New Jersey has been in turmoil. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs, teachers are all concerned about negative effects on their pensions. While I have lots of friends who receive or will receive those kinds of pensions, frankly, my sympathy is negligible. I just signed up for Social Security, to which I have contributed since I started to work in 1963, and the amount I will receive is minuscule. And I will be working for many years yet.
So I can't feel bad about public employees who retire after 20 or 25 years of work getting a considerable percentage of their salaries for the rest of their lives.
So I think Christie is a bully, but I suppose I can't disagree with everything he does. He just has a thug attitude.
Would that make for a good Presidential candidate? Well, maybe.
The problem is, it's hard to decide. There are some who think Obama will have a tough time being re-elected — and that would especially be true if a strong GOP candidate emerged from the muck and mire of political hacks.
I was looking at a website that lists Presidential candidates (2012.presidential-candidates.org). Some wag commented there, "Based on this line up ... it seems the stories are true — the world really is going to end in 2012."
Geez, I hope not.

Fulton, NY -- The Fulton Library is reducing hours at its two branches and laying off one staffer because of a lack of money.
"Continued under-funding of the library by the City of Fulton has compelled the trustees reluctantly to reduce open hours and layoff one staff member," said Marian Stanton, president of the Fulton Library's board of trustees.
She said the library received flat funding for the last three years, "but this year we can't make those dollars go any further. These cutbacks, however much we resist making them, are now unavoidable. Mayor Woodward and the council members said they were unable to provide us with an additional $20,000 in funding."
Mayor Ronald Woodward said the library asked for a $20,000 increase in funding, but he and the council could not come up with extra money. "We have combined positions here and are asking people to do more with less," he said of the city government. "Contracts are up, the state just took away $162,000 from our state aid and they increased the utility tax from a quarter of a percent to 2 percent which adds $1,000 to our street light bill a month. You just have to learn to say no."
At a special trustees' meeting Thursday, the library board decided to reduce hours from 54 to 42 weekly at the Fulton main branch on South First Street, and to reduce them from 15 to 12 at the West First Street Vayner branch, Stanton said. Beginning Jan. 4, the library's main branch will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, and closed Saturdays. The Vayner branch will be open from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays.
Fulton Library Director Penny Kerfien said money from the city has been stagnant at $180,000 for the last three years. "They cut us from $210,000 three years ago," she said. She also said the state's library funding has been cut four times in the last 20 months.
"The trustees tried very hard to accommodate the needs of Fulton students," Stanton said. She said computer use at the main and Vayner branches by students and other members of the community has been about 90 percent during available hours.
Stanton said the board intends to revisit the schedule in May to see if open hours need to be adjusted. "It's ironic that this comes as use of the library by the community is expanding," Stanton said. "We have more than tripled our number of registered borrowers from 2,594 in 2002 to over 10,000 in 2008, and our circulation has increased over 8 percent annually since 2002."
Stanton also said inter-library loan numbers — the number of books loaned to us for our patrons by other member libraries — has more than doubled since 2003.

NEW ULM - The New Ulm Garden Club welcomes all gardeners to its club no matter what their level of experience.
"Everybody's welcome to be part of the Garden Club. We welcome anybody who is interested in gardening - novice or experienced," said Nancy Ginkel, a lifelong New Ulm resident who is serving as this year's club president, "It's a nice group of people."
Ginkel said the New Ulm Garden Club is a "great place to meet some friends." She estimated that the club has been in existence since the 1970s.

"If you join the Garden Club, you could meet a friend for life," said Ginkel.
About 55 members of the club meet at 7 p.m. at the New Ulm Airport every first Wednesday of the month from January to May, Ginkel said.
"My goal this year is to have fun and to help the members get to know each other," Ginkel said.
Fact Box
If You Go:
What: New Ulm Garden Club's
"Gardenfest Tour" Fundraiser
When: 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Saturday, June 20
Tickets are available for $5 each at CashWise, Edelweiss, and Hy-Vee and directions to the featured
gardens will be provided.
Ginkel encourages a free range of questions and answers from all participants.
"The whole point of this is to have fun - life is too short not to have fun," said Ginkel.
People can always come and check out a meeting to see if they would like to join the club.
An annual fund-raiser for the club is the "Gardenfest" tour of gardens. Five local gardens are featured this year.
"We like people to see the range of gardening," said Ginkel, "You can learn something from any garden or gardener. We don't want anybody to feel they're being judged."
One of the featured gardens this year has an 80-foot pond with koi. Another garden has a pondless waterfall.
Only one of the five gardeners is a member of the New Ulm Garden Club. The other gardeners on the tour are local people who have accepted invitations after the word of their outstanding gardens was brought to the club's attention.
"Some people are shy ... but they're the expert on their garden because they've been growing it," said Ginkel.
The Gardenfest tour has been held now for at least two decades, said Ginkel.
The tour annually attracts 150-200 people.
"That's a good number we feel. We really want people to leisurely tour the gardens and hopefully take something away ... but not the plants," Ginkel said with a laugh, "These gardens are real interesting - you have to take the time to look ... to savor and enjoy and to take it all in."
The homeowners also enjoy the tour because it is nice to have people appreciate their hard work, garden plans and designs, said Ginkel.
"It's a win-win," Ginkel said.
The New Ulm Garden Club has an annual plant exchange. The club raised about $500 this spring, Ginkel said.
The club also is responsible for taking care of the area around four buildings at the Brown County Fairgrounds.
"They're looking good," said Ginkel.
Ginkel said she comes from long line of gardeners and quilters.
Her maternal grandmother and also her mother gardened and quilted. Ginkel said she is very passionate about pursuing these hobbies now.
She has been a serious gardener for the last nine years.
"A good gardener always carries a trowel and gloves in case the opportunity presents itself," Ginkel said, "Gardeners share things ... they'll take a hunk off anything for you."
Ginkel plans to have her garden on the Gardenfest tour next year. Her husband John has been supportive of her gardening hobby.
"Little by little ... every year we have a project (at her home). It doesn't cost a lot of money to be creative ... it's trial and error - some things work, some don't. You find your conditions and work with those conditions," said Ginkel.

Do you plan to spend more on holiday gifts this year than you did last year?
Really? In this economy, with the uncertancies of Obama Care and how much MORE WORKING people are now going to have to pay out, (even if the insurance is through the employers) You think this is an important Question!

Since my shopping is already done, I can say that I know that I spent more than last year. I also spent more on groceries, gas and all utilities too!

I plan on doing the same as ever. I am employed full time and earn enough to be kind to my family and friends. I am fortunate to be able to say that because here in Fulton County there are a lot that need assistance and that number is growing daily. When do you think that the powers that be pay some attention to jobs and everyone's ability to help themselves? Oh wait that is not the plan, we want to put people on assistance to show how great we are, not assist them to help themselves.

Hey, What happened to Thanksgiving?..never mind. Considering the comments on this I suppose that's another stupid question.

I never plan on it but we always do. I wish the younger generation could be transported back in time to experience a Christmas in the 1950s. Who can forget the entire family gathering after church at Grandma's house? What a feeling it was knowing that all 25-30 people there would not want to be anywhere else in the world. Christmas is about memories and they don't sell them at the store.

Nice comments Hill....The commercialism of Xmas has gone so overboard that it's created a ton of stress for many. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday....little commercialism, families getting together to enjoy a meal, and not having to worry about blowing their budget on expensive gifts. It's an enjoyable laid back family holiday.

Hey BoB, Thanksgiving has become the day when grandma cooks a big turkey dinner for everybody so they can be well nourished and while stuffing their faces, plan the shopping strategy for later or tomorrow.
And Hill is on the right track, there are no Holidays observed with the reverence of days gone by. What if no store opened before 8 AM on Friday?? and what if everything was closed on Thursday??

Thanksgiving is a mere obstacle to the almighty Black Friday. We should just change the name of the holiday to Black Friday eve. Why stop there? Why dont we make November, National spend all your savings on Chinese junk awareness month?

I look to give special gifts that are truly needed. I don't measure by how much I spend but how much the gift will be appreciated. If that means more money than so be it. I also like to make donations so I can make a difference to those less fortunate.

Yeah, 'Holiday' gifts. STOP IT or no Christmas presents for you and you get Coal, if I find any. Oh the irony; what was once plentiful and a classic metaphor has become rare and now it's considered worse than the recipients behavior. Does giving coal to someone now have a different meaning??!

I asked a girl I know who works at Walmart if she was working Thanksgiving Day, she said "H*ll yes, and I get extra hours right up to Christmas". She assured me that she isn't the only one either and it didn't sound as if they're being forced to be there. Scare, boycotts, more often than not, have the reverse of the intended outcome. Chik-Fil-A is a good example. Anyhow, this is the Holiday where we look at our neighbors bowl and help to see that they have enough, not to see if they have more than we do. One day out of a year we get it right. Its like going to Church on Sunday bowing in reverence to Faith, unity and goodwill to all Men then going straight to H-e-l-l on Monday.

They say "holiday gifts" because ***SHOCKER*** there are people who give gifts for non-christian holidays during this time of the year (i.e. Hanukkah, Kwanzaa) and also people who do not celebrate the holidays as a religious time.

BoB: Maybe the woodchucks who own the Leader Herald can send some up from the corporate office in West Virginia. They probably have a pot belly coal stove right in the office that inspires all their pro-coal editorials. I remember, way back when, the coal truck backing into Grandma's driveway, the delivery guy popping out the cellar window and setting up the chute to the coal bin. Gravity did the rest. As soon as the dishes were done Grandma was parked in her rocker next to the stove for the duration. Talk about radiant heat.

Special to The Republican
The age of electric cars may be inching into reality, and Northeast Utilities and its Connecticut Light & Power subsidiary have decided to take a major step to help it along by providing charging stations for plug-in vehicles in four municipalities, with plans to do so eventually in two-dozen other cities and towns.
NU announced this week that it is providing Level II charging station devices at no cost to the city of Torrington and the towns of Westport and Mansfield, with West Hartford expected to join the two-year project shortly.
Western Massachusetts Electric Co., a subsidiary of Northeast Utilities, also unveiled charging stations this week at the Springfield Community College Technology Park in Springfield and at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Hadley. A third location is planned for Pittsfield.
NU will also give a unit to financial services giant UBS in Stamford for its employees. The only requirement is that the municipalities and businesses that participate must install and maintain the chargers.
NU has already installed charging stations at its company offices in Berlin, Hartford, Springfield, and Manchester, N.H. NU's Western Massachusetts Electric Co. subsidiary has one customer site installed and another planned. About 20 other municipalities and businesses served by CL&P are expected to participate in the initiative eventually.
What NU and CL&P get out of the deal is research data to ascertain market demand for such services.
"By gathering information from municipal and business customers, we can gain tangible experience to help guide future decisions about our infrastructure, our policies, and how we will ultimately serve all of our customers as EVs become more common," CL&P President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Butler said.
"By year-end, we expect to have a network of more than 30 charging stations in place and generating detailed meter data," said Watson Collins, NU's EV project manager. "We'll have a robust picture of away-from-home charging levels to study along with home-based use as more EV drivers recharge overnight."
NU also is testing Chevrolet's plug-in hybrid Volt in collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute of Palo Alto, Calif.
"It's all about understanding how EV recharging impacts the electric utility system under a variety of conditions," Collins said.
That breakdown of data is a necessary precursor to planning the region's long-term EV infrastructure, CL&P officials explained.
"By anticipating and supporting the market for new plug-in EVs, we can all benefit from a cleaner, lower-cost and locally available fuel alternative," Dan Esty, Connecticut's environmental protection commissioner, said.

Gestwa, Martin and Leißling, Dirk and Bauschat, J.-M. (2005) Development of experiment function for the flying test-bed ATTAS using MATLAB/Simulink with a modified Real-Time Workshop. Model Based Design Conference, 2005-06-08, München, D.
Full text not available from this repository.
The ATTAS Software-Development-Environment is based on pure source code files and problem-oriented development tools with automatic pram code generation capability. Since 1998 the Software-Tool MATLAB/SIMULINK with Real-Time Workshop as problem oriented tool has been used to design flight control systems and in-flight simulation applications. The Real-Time Workshop is a special feature to generate C source code files directly out of a Simulink model. However the structure of the source code generated by the standard Real-Time Workshop coder is not suitable to be used directly inside the ATTAS experiment system. For this reason the program code generation of the standard Real-Time Workshop was modified extensively by the DLR. As the result this hybrid program system can be loaded directly into the ATTAS experiment computer system.
