With slicked-back hair and a clean-shaven face, Mr. Davall was escorted into the Pomona courtroom in handcuffs and seated next to his attorney, public defender Anna Armenta-Rigor. The two talked briefly, but intently, to one another before Judge Tia Fisher called the case to set a preliminary hearing date. Entire Story Hundred-year-old oak in the Village too sick to save August 15, 2014 7:08 AM With the sunshine glinting on its branches one last time, Claremont said goodbye to the fatally wounded live oak on the northwest corner of Seventh Street and Indian Hill Boulevard early Thursday morning. The tree, estimated to be more than 100 years old, was unable to be saved following the loss of one of its two primary branches last month, which left the live oak with a large wound and decay deep into its trunk. The eastern branch of the heritage tree had fallen and knocked down cable lines, requiring Claremont's city yard on-call staff and the LA County Fire Department to respond to the scene where they spent roughly six hours working together to remove the fallen limb.

Signed by Mayor Joe Lyons on Monday, August 4, the agreement requires the city to release financial feasibility documents and revise the ballot question to seek approval of $135 million in bonds rather than $55 million as previously stated.

COURIER photo/Catherine Fleming Entire Story Claremont resident survives, thrives in spite of injury August 04, 2014 12:30 PM In May of 2000, the unthinkable happened. A young woman ran a stop sign and broadsided Celeste Palmer's SUV, causing it to roll. The accident left her, at age 50, bereft of a lifetime of memories. Ms. Palmer sustained a traumatic brain injury, which left her with anterograde as well as retrograde amnesia. Not only is she unable to recall her pre-accident past, she has difficulty making new memories. She didn't recognize her three children and—as someone who no longer remembered how many times a day to brush her teeth—had to consciously relearn her mothering skills in order to care for her 13-year-old son.

Validation of Serious Games Attributes Using the Technology Acceptance Model
Yusoff, Amri, Crowder, Richard and Gilbert, Lester (2010) Validation of Serious Games Attributes Using the Technology Acceptance Model. In, The 2nd International IEEE Conference on Serious Games and Virtual Worlds for serious applications (VSGAMES 2010), Braga, Portugal, 25 - 26 Mar 2010. , 45-51.

Download (539Kb)
The paper introduces a conceptual model for the design of serious games and uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for its validation. A specially developed game introduced international students to public transport in Southampton. After completing the game, participants completed a short questionnaire and the data was analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results identified the attributes and combinations of attributes that led the learner to accept and to use the serious game for learning. These findings are relevant in helping game designers and educational practitioners design serious games for effective learning.

Grasshopper Pie
Grasshopper pie was a favorite of Southern hostesses in the 1950s and '60s. We've updated the recipe, infusing the filling with fresh mint and adding coconut to the crust.
- Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie
Photography: Anna Williams
Source: Martha Stewart Living, April 2004
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pie plate
- 3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 1/2 cups (about 25) crushed chocolate wafer cookies
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons green creme de menthe
- 1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 bar (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate, chilled
- Freshly whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate. Whisk together coconut, cookie crumbs, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter, and stir until well combined. Press crumb mixture into pie plate. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups cream and the mint just to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover. Let steep 15 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a glass measuring cup. Discard the mint, and set cream aside. Beat the remaining cup cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; cover, and refrigerate.
Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put creme de menthe in a medium heatproof bowl, and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl; set aside. Add steeped cream to gelatin mixture, whisking until well combined.
Set bowl with cream mixture over a pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved and mixture is hot to the touch, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, pour hot cream mixture in a slow, steady stream into egg-yolk mixture. Return mixture to heatproof bowl; set over pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
Transfer bowl to ice-water bath; whisk until mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from bath. Add one-third of reserved whipped cream; whisk until combined. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
Spoon mixture into pie crust; refrigerate until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Just before serving, scrape a chef's knife along surface of chocolate bar to make shavings. Spoon dollops of whipped cream onto pie, if desired, and top with chocolate shavings.

Want Want China Times Group Chairman Tsai Eng-meng showed up unexpectedly at a public hearing Monday over the group's proposed acquisition of a major cable network, sparking heated debate among academics. The group's proposal to acquire cable TV services owned by China Network System (CNS) has local academics worried that the bid will result in media being concentrated in too few hands and will undermine press freedom. Tsai's close business connections with mainland China is another major reason the academics are opposed to the bid. Many of them are worried Tsai will impose a pro-China agenda on his media properties. In a story published by the Washington Post Jan. 21 this year, Tsai was quoted as saying that journalists working for him "need to think carefully before they write" and avoid "insults" that cause offense. He was referring to an incident in which he fired an editor for an article that described China's top negotiator with Taiwan as "third-rate." The public hearing saw Tsai vigorously defend the group's stance in the acquisition bid, saying he has "never received any money from China, and has never attended any meetings of the Communist Party of China." The hearing, which lasted for nine hours, was the longest meeting ever held by the National Communications Commission (NCC), the country's top media watchdog. Following are excerpts of reports by major Taiwanese newspapers on Monday's hearing. United Daily News: Tsai said at the hearing that he was businessman generally welcomed by the media before purchasing the three Cs -- CtiTV, a cable TV network; China Times, a Chinese-language newspaper; and China Television Co., a terrestrial television network. He said that ever since he purchased those media outlets, he has become a target of criticism. He said he has even considered suing other media that have carried unfair comments about him, but has refrained from doing so because his staff advised him against it. Tsai also rebutted public speculation about him having close connections with China's Chen Yunlin, president of the Association for Relations across the Taiwan Straits. He said he has only met with Chen twice -- one time over a mere handshake, and the second time when he had already acquired the "three Cs." Gary Wang, a former president of Eastern Multimedia Group, who owns 49 percent of the shares of Want Want China Braodband, told reporters after the hearing that the NCC should not stall the group's bid simply because academics oppose it. Wang expressed hope that the NCC will speed up the review process or the group will lose its bidding deposit of more than NT$1 billion (US$34 million). However, Lin Li-yun, director of National Taiwan University's School of Journalism, said the NCC should reject the bid to safeguard the freedom of the press. Lin Hui-lin, an economics professor at National Taiwan University, said that if the bid is approved it will cause too much media to be concentrated in too few hands. Also opposing the bid, Huang Kuo-chang, an Academia Sinica assistant research fellow, said that since February this year, Tsai's media properties have blatantly imposed their own agenda on readers and viewers, while other cable TV networks have been "eerily quiet" on reporting the acquisition matter. Huang said the cable TV networks' reluctance to report on the issue might spring from fear of retribution from the group, as it will have the authority to shut down TV networks carried on its system should the bid be approved. Apple Daily: Karen Wang, general manager of Next Media's television operations, accused Tsai's group of intervening with the operations of CNS. Wang said at the hearing that management at Next Media had already struck a deal with CNS in October 2011 to carry its news and movie channels on CNS' channels 84 and 85. But Next Media was informed earlier this year that the deal was off because a new shareholder due to join the system had rejected the deal, Wang said. China Times: Ingo Brinker, a partner at Gleizz Lutz law firm, who was invited by CNS to attend the hearing, said that if the group's acquisition of CNS is approved, the level of media concentration of the group will be around 23 percent, according to a benchmark index designed to gauge media concentration by the KEF, an independent Germany-based media watchdog. The 23 percent is far lower than the KEF's 30 percent benchmark threshold, he said, noting that the bid would be passed if it was proposed in Germany. (May 8, 2012). (By Ann Chen) ENDITEM/J

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is from Grant Barber on Sinan Antoon's The Corpse Washer, from Yale University Press.
Grant is not only a keen bibliophile, and an Episcopal priest living on the south shore of Boston, but has reviewed for Three Percent for forever, basically, and sometimes also performs as Chad's stunt double at conferences.
Here's the beginning of his review:
Antoon gives us a remarkable novel that in 184 pages captures the experience of an Iraqi everyman who has lived through the war with Iran in the first half of the 1980s, the 1991 Gulf War over the Kuwaiti invasion, and then the 2003 war.
Jawad is the youngest child from a Baghdad family. His father, like his father before him, is a traditional corpse washer—an honored and necessary role for their Shi'ite Moslem community that eschews embalming for immediate burial. The elder son was in training to be a doctor when drafted and killed during war.
The focus on Jawad tracks his relationships with his father, who starts the gradual training of his son at age eight (as he had with the older son) in the ritual of corpse washing; with his mother, widowed over the course of the novel; and with two different women with whom he is romantically involved. Both his father's death and the crises of war limit Jawad's practical future. He longs to be an artist, a sculptor, and completes a university degree to that end, with much tension between son and father. His father's death, the economic realities of war, and finally his sense of duty, bring him back to the family business.
In Western literary terms the novel is a contemporary form of tragedy. At two different phases of his life Jawad becomes involved with a woman. Each relationship ends, not without love between Jawad and each woman, but without conditions that can lead to marriage. Jawad does not have hubris, but is instead contained by the situations so much out of his control. Like the statues of Giacometti that Jawad admires, he is stretched and distorted by the existential circumstances in which he finds himself, trapped in a way, but not without insight by the conclusion of the novel that gives him a some small sense of meaning and purpose in a profession centered around death.
For the rest of the review, go here.

At the age of 33, Miller called time on his international career because of a combination of the demands of his club career with Vancouver Whitecaps and the three competitively meaningless World Cup qualifiers – against Belgium, Macedonia and Croatia - to be played by Scotland this autumn.
Miller has frequently made round trips of 10,000 miles to play for his country but Vancouver have reached a crucial stage of their season an Gordon Strachan agreed with his top scorer that this was as apt a time as any to bid farewell to the Tartan Army.
"It's a negative and a positive. It's a negative because we're losing a good player," said the Scotland manager, who was at Hampden Park to announce his squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Belgium and Macedonia.
"The positive is he's someone who I spoke to last night who's given everything he can to his team-mates and his coaching staff he's played with in the Scottish set-up. He can leave with no regrets. He's given it everything.
"He's not as talented as Dalglish, McClair or Charlie Nicholas, but nobody has put in as much work as he has, that's for sure. t was pointed out he doesn't just run about. If you look at the goals there are some good goals in there as well.
"It got better as he got older. He showed that the other night at Wembley, with the hard work he's put in. He knows what made Kenny Miller a good player.
"When he was younger he might have thought, 'can I do this, can I do that?' then he realised, 'I can't do this or that, I'll stick to what I'm good at and make my living this way'.
"I did try to dissuade him for about a minute but then I thought to mysel,f 'this is really selfish'. I told him he'd have to excuse me because I went into a kind of selfish mode trying to change his mind.
"I suddenly thought it was wrong and I shouldn't be doing it. He'd done as much as he can. I was thinking about myself here, he has to think about his own career.
"The decision was difficult enough for him as it was and I was actually making it harder so I had to say to myself, 'shut up Gordon'.
"There's nobody who can perform his role at the moment, but it can be done over time, that's for sure."
The decision allows Miller to concentrate on his club form. Last year, as one of the few players who cost $1 million or more in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer, he started in disappointing fashion, scoring only two goals in 13 outings and clearly lacking fitness.
Licking his wounds, Miller returned to Glasgow to train with Rangers, a move that set him up for a markedly contrasting second season with the Whitecaps.
After a delay caused by a hamstring injury, Miller returned to the side and has been instrumental in their charge towards the playoffs with seven goals in 15 appearances, four of which have been match winners.
"Kenny's the fulcrum to everything," Carl Robinson, the Whitecaps' Welsh assistant coach said this week. "His movement is the key to everything we do."
Strachan concurred. "I can believe that," he said. "Kenny was saying Vancouver had invested a lot in him, not just financially but in terms of trust.
"He feels he has to give something back to them. The onus is on him as a marquee player to do the best he can."
In stark contrast to Miller, the five strikers named on Friday have a total of 59 caps but only eight goals.
"Until you put a stark fact like that to me I wasn't too bothered, but I'm worried now!" said Strachan. "It's like Gareth Bale leaving Tottenham - that's 23, 24 goals they're missing.
"We have been getting progress but that has to be turned into goals and wins. We have Steven Fletcher to come back, though."
Meanwhile, as one familiar figure departed the Scotland set-up, a new face arrived in the shape of Ikechi Anya, the Watford wide man. Anya was born in Glasgow to a Romanian mother and Nigerian father, who came to the city to study metallurgy.
He became the youngest player to appear for Wycombe Wanderers, at the age of 16 in 2004 but was released two years later and his subsequent nomadic career has seen him play for Oxford City, Northampton Town, Seville, Celta Vigo and Granada before moving to Watford, with whom he signed a three-year deal in July.
"He has pace," said Strachan. "He can play left or right wing-back. He's tidy with the ball, does the simple things well and he can go by people. I spoke to him last night and he's excited, he's delighted to be coming along."
Anya described his call-up as a privilege and an honour on his Twitter account and expressed his delight in a brief interview on his club's website.
"I'm really happy," he said. "The gaffer (Gianfranco Zola) told me at breakfast one morning that he had been speaking with Gordon Strachan. I was so pleased.
"I'm under no illusion, this call-up would not have been possible without Watford Football Club.
"I'm happy at Watford and hopefully that is evident to see on the pitch. I would like to thank all the staff - coaching, medical and everyone else at the club - for their help."

With this injury to Lefty with Batch/Lefty being a bit old and or fragile, do you guys think this is the last season we see them in Steeler uniforms ? I think they'll have at least one of them on the team through training camp next season with a couple of younger qb's also. With this, they'll let both Batch and Lefty go once the season starts and we will have a youth movement at backup.
I'm not going to say that I'm relieved but I guess I am, I just can't take watching Lefty go back out there next week. He is almost painful to watch. I will be much more comfortable with Batch. Win, Lose, or Draw!
I'd hope Haley has the chance to pick a back-up who best fits his system. Make that plural ... back-ups.
Yeah.. especially later in the game... how COULDN'T you tell he was hurt?
I would have taken him out regardless, injury or no injury because of his 1st half performance.
I agree that Tomlin should have taken Lefty out. At the end of the game he was struggling to even get the ball to the feet of the receivers.
I say we bring Hines back. He can throw a good pass and can definitely take a hit.

Maritime Monday: From Carpenter to Shipwright
Samuel AVERY, married in 1806, was a carpenter in East Stonehouse during the Napoleonic Wars. One of his sons, George, christened 30 September 1814, became a shipwright - and later, a ship's carpenter. By the time he was an adult, the Napoleonic Wars were over, but George's services as a shipwright in HM Dockyard at Plymouth were still needed right up until a few years before his death in 1878. One of George's granddaughters married into the HAYWOOD family - and the tradition of working in the Dockyards continued, with varying occupations - including shipwright.

Sandown beach this week, as people on the Isle of Wight made the best of the good weather. Picture by Peter Boam.
TEMPERATURES soared across the Isle of Wight this week, with thousands flocking to the beaches to make the most of the heatwave.
But with temperatures forecast to rise this weekend, health officials have issued a warning.
Isle of Wight weather observer, Clive Cooper, said temperatures on Sunday reached 25.7C at the weather station on top of Shanklin Theatre and 28.4C at his weather station in Godshill.
"Temperatures further inland, in places like Newport, would have been higher, around the 29C mark," said Mr Cooper.
The Island has also been enjoying long hours of sunshine, with 15 hours recorded in Shanklin on Tuesday. Wroxall Weather said temperatures could top 27C tomorrow (Saturday), while the Met Office is predicting 25C to 26C until Monday.
The Met office has issued a Level 2 — alert and readiness — heatwave warning for the period from tomorrow (Friday) to Sunday.
The warning indicates a 60 per cent or higher probability that threshold temperatures for a heatwave will be exceeded. For South East England the threshold temperature are 31C during the day for at least two consecutive days and 16C in the intervening night.
A spokesman said the weather forecast for the Isle of Wight met the heatwave threshold temperature, however there was a possibility of cooling winds from the sea.
Dr Jenifer Smith, director of public health for the Isle of Wight, said: ""Although heatwaves are uncommon in England, heat can be dangerous and people should be aware of the risks.
"In case of a heatwave, make sure you look after your own health and that of your family.
"It is not just children who need special attention; be aware that elderly people are also at risk, and make sure they are being checked on regularly and everyone drinks plenty of water."
The advice to Islanders is to:
Keep out of the heat
•If a heatwave is forecast, try and plan your day in a way that allows you to stay out of the heat.
•If you can, avoid going out in the hottest part of the day (11am – 3pm).
•If you can't avoid strenuous outdoor activity, like sport, DIY, or gardening, keep it for cooler parts of the day, like early morning or evening.
•If you must go out, stay in the shade. Wear a hat and light, loose fitting clothes, preferably cotton. If you will be outside for some time, take plenty of water with you.
Stay cool
•A loose, cotton, damp cloth or scarf on the back of the neck, or spraying or splashing your face and the back of your neck with cold water several times a day can help keep you cool.
•Stay inside, in the coolest rooms in your home, as much as possible.
•Reduce heat from sunlight coming through the windows. External shading, e.g. shutters, is best. Metal blinds and dark curtains may absorb heat and make the room warmer – it is best to use pale curtains or reflective material.
•Keep windows closed while the room is cooler than it is outside. Open them when the temperature inside rises, and at night for ventilation.
•If you are worried about security, at least open windows on the first floor and above.
•Indoor and outdoor plants will help keep your home cool due to evaporation and the shading from trees and bushes.
•Take cool showers or baths.
Drink regularly
•Drink regularly even if you do not feel thirsty – water or fruit juice are best.
•Try to avoid alcohol, tea and coffee. They make dehydration worse.
•Eat as you normally would. Try to eat more cold food, particularly salads and fruit, which contain water.
Seek advice if you have any concerns
•Contact your doctor, a pharmacist or NHS 111 if you are worried about your health during a heatwave, especially if you are taking medication, if you feel unwell or have any unusual symptoms.
•Watch for cramp in your arms, legs or stomach, feelings of mild confusion, weakness or problems sleeping.
•If you have these symptoms, rest for several hours, keep cool and drink water or fruit juice. Seek medical advice if they get worse or don't go away.
Advice to organisations
•Organisations across the Island, particularly those involved in healthcare, residential care and nursing home care should consider implementing the following preparatory actions:
•Ensure that cool rooms are ready and consistently at 26ºC or below;
•Check that indoor thermometers are in place and recording sheets printed to measure temperature four times a day;
•Identify naturally cooler rooms that vulnerable patients can be moved to if necessary;
•Identify particularly vulnerable individuals (those with chronic/severe illness, on multiple medications, or who are bed bound) who may be prioritised for time in a cool room;
•Obtain supplies of ice/cool water;
•Ensure that staffing levels will be sufficient to cover the anticipated heatwave period;
•Repeat messages on risk and protective measures to staff; and
•Ensure that visits or phone calls are made to advise high risk individuals (those with severe mental illness, living on their own, or without regular contact with a carer).
•Agencies involved in the care of individuals at home should ensure that health and social care workers have identified those in their community who are at particularly high risk from a heatwave. Where appropriate arrange for a daily visit/phone call by a formal or informal carer (family, neighbour, friend, voluntary and community sector workers) during the heatwave period. Visits should be considered especially for those living on their own and without the contact of a daily carer.

The Louisiana Lions Cubsight Program recently offered free vision screenings to young students in grades pre-K and kindergarten at Holy Cross Elementary School in Morgan City. The test provides instant photographs of a child's eyes and determines the presence of disorders including far and nearsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus, anisometropia, and media opacities or cataracts. The information obtained from the screening is preliminary only, and parents are contacted with the results. Pictured with Lions Club volunteer Shree Hebert of the Franklin Lions Club are pre-K student Mia Duhon and parent volunteer Jodi Grizzaffi. Thaddeus Marcell, president of the Morgan City Lions Club and Bill Moore, president of the Franklin Lions Club partnered together to provide "Cubsight" screenings throughout St. Mary Parish.

Verizon, T-Mobile Get High Marks for Airport Mobile Coverage
When it came to the RootScore awards across all 50 airports, Verizon came out on top with 25 awards, followed by T-Mobile with 16.Travelers in the Atlanta airport are likely to have a better mobile service experience than those in Los Angeles' airport, according to a report from RootMetrics. The company's mobile performance rankings of the 50 busiest airports in the U.S. place Southwest Florida International at the top, followed by Sacramento International, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Dallas Love Field, and Logan International. When it came to the RootScore awards across all 50 airports, Verizon came out on top with 25 awards, followed by T-Mobile with 16, AT&T in a close third with 15, and Sprint placing fourth with three. "As you know, airports are typically busy environments. Large influxes of travelers can put stress on mobile networks, impacting reliability, data speeds, and overall performance," Annette Hamilton, a RootMetrics director, told eWEEK. "In addition, an airport's mobile infrastructure and even building materials can affect how well a mobile network performs. For example, consider Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – the second busiest airport in the country."
Hamilton said LAX ranked 48 out of 50 when it came to mobile performance, explaining data speeds at LAX were very low compared to other airports in the country, with a top median download speed of just 2.7 Mbps, on Verizon.

MP: Improvement of relations with Iran important for Azerbaijan
07 February 2014 [10:40] -
Improvement of relations with Iran is an important issue in Azerbaijan's policy, Azerbaijani political analyst and parliament member, Rasim Musabeyov said.
Musabeyov made the remarks at a meeting with youth representatives as part of the Winter University for Young Leaders, organized by the 'Ireli' Public Union.
He said that any problems with Turkey are solved pretty quickly, but with Iran, things are different. Therefore, Azerbaijan and Iran should raise relations to a higher level.
"Currently, Russia's military power is not taken seriously by Turkey and Iran. Thus in the Black Sea, the Turkish fleet is many times stronger than the Russian fleet. In the 19th and 20th centuries there were many Russians in the South Caucasus, but now they make up only one percent. In general Russia's economic and military leverage in the region are weakening," Musabeyov said.
He added that the trade turnover stands at a relatively low level and Russian military contingents are only situated in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Armenia. As the Russia's role in the region is weakening, Turkey and Iran are strengthening.
The MP also said that two-thirds of the South Caucasus' population are Azerbaijanis. And extensive development prospects and opportunities have emerged in the recent years as a result of Azerbaijan's correct policy.

If you've read any books on parenting, conflicting opinions have probably left you feeling confused. Get tough! Show acceptance. Lay down the rules.

Dealing with Hillary Clinton as his prospective running mate, which would also mean dealing with the unhinged baggage of her husband, surely would prepare Barack Obama well for vexing international diplomacy as president.
Obama would need to make clear to Hillary and Bill that they would be working for him and no longer themselves.
He'd need to tell Bill to disentangle himself from business enrichments with controversial characters and agree to put his and Hillary's newfound wealth in a blind trust.
He'd need to tell Bill to make no more speeches for hire and to speak only at the behest and under the supervision of the campaign and, if the campaign is successful, the administration.
He'd need to tell Bill to make full disclosures of all donors to his presidential foundation and avoid any ad hoc dealings through that foundation with foreign leaders.
He'd need to tell Bill to fly no more on the plane of that supermarket tycoon playboy with the 20-ish girlfriends.
He'd need to make clear that presidents take priority over former presidents.
If Bill said no to any of that -- and surely he would, because he's plainly huffy and out of control and resentful of Obama's emergence -- then Barack might need to tell Hillary to choose: Be his wife or my running mate.
That'd be some delicate business right there. If Monica couldn't break up those two, I doubt Barack could.
I'm not seriously suggesting marital dissolution.
A marriage is the business only of the two people in it, and any minor offspring, of course.
I'm only saying Bill brings so much destructive energy to this running-mate proposition that it's hard to imagine it could work. It seems next to impossible for a strong-willed and newly maniacal former president to subjugate himself to being spouse of the vice president in an ensuing administration.
If there's anything more insignificant than being vice president, it's being spouse of the vice president.
I'm trying to think of Spiro Agnew's wife's name.
But if somehow Bill and Hillary could be disjoined for these purposes, then Bill could go on with his world statesmanship and international celebrity while Hillary could go on with her holding pattern for the next shot at the presidency.
It was Sting who sang: "If you love someone, set them free."
As things stand, though, Obama couldn't possibly put up with Bill behaving the way he's been behaving lately -- cavorting with image-challenged businessmen, saying wild and incendiary things and angrily denying their plain evidence the next day, calling reporters scum bags, asserting that the media, the supposedly ever-conspiring media, propped up Barack and kept Hillary down, even alleging that Obama himself was using surrogates to slime Hillary.
Seriously, there is growing speculation, and maybe even a kind of evidence, that Bill, always undisciplined and mercurial when without a strong, on-site enforcer, had some of his wiring short out on him during that open heart surgery.
I still think, though, that this is just how Bill gets when left to his own devices and when he is not the center of attention. Imagine him, then, as spouse of the vice president.
No, don't.
It's not a pretty sight -- certainly for Barack Obama.

GreenHunter (NYSEMKT:GRH) continues to be precariously positioned from a funding perspective. Despite recent rosy headlines, attendance at expensive conferences and hosting fancy dinners for potential investors, the company seems to be running out of options to raise capital to fund its cash flow negative operations (including capex) and its multi-million dollar preferred dividends.
In GreenHunter's last financial report, it showed negative $9.1 million in working capital, which is a large deficit for a small company with a history of negative cash flows. GreenHunter had planned to fund that negative working capital through a combination of asset sales and issuance of preferred stock, as disclosed in its quarterly report.
GreenHunter failed to sell the assets it planned to sell, leading to the company "guiding up" its expected revenue, but not explaining how it would fund the millions of dollars in negative working capital, as well as its capex budget. And the $3.18 million gross (the company had to pay over 5% of that in commissions and expense reimbursements) it raised by issuing preferred stock may have simply gone to fund capex and pay required dividends on existing preferred stock, leaving the large negative working capital balance in place.
With a substantial negative working capital balance in place, it seems likely that GreenHunter may again have to issue a "going concern" warning in its financial statements. Except that the next warning may be worse than the past disclosure. Through the recent $3.18 million preferred issuance, GreenHunter completed the allowed issuance of preferred and common stock available under its shelf filing. This means that GreenHunter may need to take additional steps before issuing more preferred or common stock, which may negatively impact the market for such securities.
While GreenHunter has been able to secure a contract with sister company Magnum Hunter (MHR) for Mag Tanks, which combined with rosy press releases and extensive stock promotion, may have driven GRH stock up recently, it remains unclear how capex on Mag Tanks will be funded. And it remains unclear how dividends on preferred stock will be funded, as GreenHunter's core business does not seem to generate enough cash flow to fund itself, much less fund payment of millions of dollars a year in dividends.
One possible explanation for why GreenHunter's former CFO (who had also been an executive at Magnum Hunter) may have left GreenHunter recently is that it appears the recent preferred issuances could be funding dividends on existing preferred. This is obviously unsustainable - if at any point the market for the preferred stock dried up, if GreenHunter is using new issuance to fund payments to existing stock, it would be unable to fund such payments. This is a precarious situation, and if fully disclosed as a risk by the company, could negatively impact the market for the preferred and the common stock.
This unsustainable funding situation and negative working capital position, combined with GreenHunter's disclosed plans to spend tens of millions of dollars on capex to grow its business, indicate that GreenHunter may be in the market to raise additional capital. If GreenHunter did raise more money, it would likely have to do so either in unregistered equity at a very large discount to the current market price, or as junior debt with a high interest rate and/or conversion feature. If GreenHunter issued more debt, it would further lever the company, impose a further interest and dividend burden on the asset base, and would "prime" the existing $50 million (face value) of the preferred. This could negatively impact the asset coverage of the preferred stock and could introduce further risk to the common equity.
One other consideration worth noting - competitor Nuverra (NES) is much larger but has had similar funding and operational issues, and the previous leading provider of modular above-ground storage tanks, Poseidon Concepts, went bankrupt after admitting to falsifying financial statements. One of the reasons to invest in small cap companies is the hope that one day they might grow larger and achieve premium valuations associated with successful, mature businesses. Nuverra and Poseidon's issues dim that hope for GreenHunter, tarnishing the case for investing in the stock and challenging the underlying valuation support for GreenHunter's preferred and common stock.
Disclosure: I am short GRH. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Additional disclosure: I am short GRH and may buy or sell it or any other security mentioned at any time with no further notice.

Burundi: Video Highlights Activist's Unjust Detention
Pierre Claver Mbonimpa waves at the crowd in front of the Appeals Court in Bujumbura on June 4, 2014.
Pierre Claver Mbonimpa should be considered an asset to Burundi, not a threat. The Burundian authorities should drop all charges against him and free him.
Daniel Bekele, Africa director
(Nairobi) – Human Rights Watch today released a short video about leading Burundian human rights activist Pierre Claver Mbonimpa, who has been in prison since May 2014.
Mbonimpa, 66, is the president of the Association for the Protection of Human Rights and Detained Persons (Association pour la protection des droits humains et des personnes détenues, APRODH), one of the main human rights groups in Burundi. He was arrested on May 15 after speaking on the radio about allegations that young Burundians were being armed and given military training in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.
"Pierre Claver Mbonimpa should be considered an asset to Burundi, not a threat," said Daniel Bekele, Africa director. "The Burundian authorities should drop all charges against him and free him."
He was charged with endangering state security and using false documents. The court turned down his lawyers' requests for his provisional release on the grounds of old age and ill-health. He remains in prison awaiting trial.
Human Rights Watch does not consider the charges against Mbonimpa to amount to a credible criminal offense and is calling for his immediate and unconditional release.
Mbonimpa's case is very significant in Burundi. He has earned huge public respect and admiration, as illustrated in the video by the large crowds of supporters at his first court appearance. He is also well-known outside Burundi and has received international awards in recognition of his work to defend the rights of the most vulnerable.
Mbonimpa's arrest is part of a broader government crackdown against perceived critics and opponents with elections planned for 2015. Other activists, as well as independent journalists and members of opposition parties, have been repeatedly harassed, intimidated, and prevented from carrying out their activities.
