AngloGold's Full-Year Profit Drops 29% as Strikes Cut Output
Ana MonteiroAngloGold Ashanti Ltd., the world's third-biggest producer of the metal, said profit fell 29 percent in 2012, missing analysts' estimates, after a strike that shut its South African mines cut production.
Adjusted earnings excluding one-time items dropped to $924 million, or $2.39 per share last year compared with $1.3 billion, or $3.36 per share 12 months earlier, the Johannesburg-based company said in a statement today. That compares with the $3.03 median prediction of 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
Pay strikes that started in the platinum industry in August spread to gold, coal and chrome producers last year, cutting mining output by 10.1 billion rand ($1.1 billion), according to South Africa's National Treasury. AngloGold, which mines about a third of its metal in the country, retains the option of placing these assets into a separate company should investors undervalue the business, Chief Executive Officer Mark Cutifani said on Nov. 21.
"The weaker performance in earnings, cash flow largely reflects challenges at South Africa operations through course of year including several safety-related stoppages in the first half and the unprotected strike action in the second half," the company said.
AngloGold, whose largest overseas competitors are Barrick Gold Corp. and Newmont Mining Corp., said gold production fell 17 percent to 859,000 ounces in the quarter compared with the prior three months. It produced 3.94 million ounces for the year, missing its target of 4.3 to 4.4 million ounces.
Total cash costs per ounce rose 14 percent to $1,009, it said.
Output at all of its South African mines halted because of work stoppages, spurring the company to cut its third-quarter dividend in half and trim annual spending plans by $200 million.
The company will pay a dividend of 0.50 rand a share for the fourth quarter matching the payout in the previous three months, it said.
Cutifani is leaving AngloGold to replace Cynthia Carroll as CEO of Anglo American Plc on April 3.
Profit for the fourth quarter dropped $0.02 a share from $0.61 in the previous quarter, That compares with the 47-cent median estimate of five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Gold analysts in South Africa compare quarters sequentially.

4. Nine Anti-Software Piracy Ideas That Just Won't Work
Software piracy is a problem for software vendors, companies buying the software and users. Using pirated software can expose the organization to dangerous malware that often piggybacks on the applications to compromise computers and spread over the network. There have been a number of attempts to try to stop online piracy, such as Microsoft's Windows Geniune Advantage, which determines whether the copy of Windows installed on a computer is authentic.

But as 2011 begins to fade to black, we look back at the biggest security snafus that made headlines, from the numerous service outages to data hacks attributed to everything from the shadowy group Anonymous to China. Some might even want to label 2011 the year of the advanced persistent threat.

Location big key for Kunau
Real estate people like to tell clients that these are the three most important elements when seeking a house: location, location, location.
Those three elements were foremost in Jim Kunau's mind when he decided to resume coaching high school football.
"I know it sounds funny to hear somebody say this in Southern California," Kunau said. "But I actually can walk to work now."
Kunau will return to coaching in Orange County when the 2013 season begins. Kunau this week accepted the head coaching position at Canyon, which became vacant when Brent McKee resigned after the 2012 season.
He was Orange Lutheran's coach for 19 seasons until he was relieved of his duties after the 2011 season.
Why Canyon, and why now?
"I wanted to get back to working with young men in football," Kunau said Thursday. "And where we (wife Betsy and their daughter) live is a five-minute walk from campus. This is an opportunity to contribute to the school and the community."
In those 19 seasons at Lutheran, Kunau's teams won 13 league championships, including three in the Trinity League, two CIF-Southern Section championships and a CIF State championship. The Lancers had qualified for the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons before falling short in Kunau's final two seasons, 2010 and '11.
Kunau at Canyon will be a walk-on coach, which is a coach who is not on a school's faculty or staff. His coaching stipend will be $4,700. Kunau will continue as a professor in the Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration program at Concordia, where his wife is executive director of development.
Kunau transformed Lutheran from a small-schools winner to one of the top programs in Southern California. More remarkable is that Kunau did so with not so much as a peep that he was building the program with illegal tactics such as recruiting. Lutheran football was known not only for winning but also for sportsmanship.
Canyon this past season was 3-7 overall and 1-5 in the Century League. The Comanches were 0-10 in 2011. McKee had the challenge of trying to keep Canyon competitive in a good league while fighting off, successfully, a cancer scare.
Canyon has good athletes on campus, but sometimes when a program hits hard times, those athletes will avoid participation. Losing also affects attitudes of the good athletes who are on the roster.
Kunau can change all of that. His presence at Canyon also makes the school a destination for football-minded students and (especially) their parents in these days when students and (especially) their parents shop for schools.
Taking a look around Orange County high school sports:
Servite is in discussions with national power De La Salle of Concord for a football game next fall. De La Salle, which won its fifth football state championship last week, is on its winter break so discussions will not resume until January. De La Salle would have to ask one of its 2013 opponents to withdraw from its commitment to play De La Salle, thus creating the available game for Servite.
As usual, the Register and ocvarsity.com staff had plenty of choices when it came to selecting county football coach and players of the year. Edison's Dave White and Corona del Mar's Scott Meyer certainly were leading candidates for the coach of the year honor that went to Mater Dei's Bruce Rollinson. El Toro quarterback Conner Manning, Edison defensive lineman Derek Baljeu and Mission Viejo defensive lineman Garrett Marina were in the mix for the offensive and defensive player of they year awards that went to, respectively, Mater Dei's Thomas Duarte and Mission Viejo's Max Redfield.
On this voter's ballot, Duarte and Redfield were the two best players in county football.
Selecting All-County teams is the toughest part of this job, no matter the sport. There is such a thin margin between a player who is first-team and second-team All-County, and second- and third-team, and between a third-team selection and an athlete who barely misses the cut.
The Mater Dei varsity boys basketball team picture that is in the Jim Harris Memorial Tournament of Champions program shows that the team has 25 players and 13 coaches. Many county teams don't have 13 players.
The JCTees.com Orange County North/South Challenge boys basketball showcase today and Saturday at El Toro features Brethren Christian and its 7-foot-5 center, Mamadou Ndiaye, playing Capistrano Valley at 5 p.m. It would be a superior marketing move to have Brethren-Capo Valley as the 8 p.m. game instead of Ocean View-Tesoro, which is a good matchup but does not have the nation's tallest high school basketball player in it.
Mater Dei's girls basketball team, No. 1 in the county and No. 3 in the nation, this week is playing in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Chandler, Ariz. There is a good chance the Monarchs will play the nation's No. 1-ranked team, St. Mary's of Phoenix, in the tournament.

Along comes yet another photoshoot and another young design talent to make make the last of my weekly wage shiver with fear at the bottom of my purse. Fortunately the Spring Summer 09/10 collection by Erin O'Brien is purely an experimental project designed to keep the creative vibes flowing though you can purchase some other designs she has a deft hand in creating courtesy her work on the design team at Kookai.
Of her time so far at Kookai, Erin says she appreciates "the opportunity to design for the range. Not many retailers actually design, they rather develop from overseas samples. Kookai is different in that we get the opportunity to design and develop our own ideas. A highlight was working on the summer fashion parade held at Circa late last year…it was so exciting to see weeks of hard work pay off in a beautiful show."
I'm really into the clash of textures in this, more personal, collection, with its pretty meets raw feel. There are cutouts, translucent materials and roughhewn edging to keep things interesting. This shoot gathered together the talents of creatives like photographer Isabel Engelhardt and model Madeleine Dixon at Seaford Lifesaving Club. Take a peek at some of the other work this team has done;

BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Marathon is full.
The Boston Athletic Association said Thursday that registration for the 2013 race has closed. More than 20,000 runners who met a new, more difficult qualifying standard, signed up since registration opened on Oct. 11.
Other runners still have a chance to participate as part of a charity program that has raised more than $150 million in the past 25 years.
The marathon was forced to change its registration process two years ago after a rush of applicants filled the field in eight hours. That broke the previous record of 65 days.
The 117th Boston Marathon will be Monday, April 15.

text: The last team to make a serious run at a perfect season was the 1985-86 Chicago Bears. Behind a stellar defense, the coaching of Mike Ditka, and the rushing of Walter Payton, the Bears won the first 12 games of the season. They next faced the Dolphins, in a Monday night contest in Miami. Quarterback Dan Marino led the Dolphins to a 38-24 pasting of the Bears, much to the delight of the Miami fans (and the 1972 team, many of whom were in attendance). The Bears went on to destroy New England in the Super Bowl, but lost their chance at an unbeaten season. Should the Broncos escape from New York unscathed, their next opponent will be, ironically, the Dolphins... in Miami, on Monday night. Denver finishes off the regular season at home against Seattle, but it's Miami —with Marino, one of the top defenses in the league, and the ghosts of the '72 team— that has the best chance to spoil Denver's party. "If there's any way to hex them, I think we should do it," says Larry Csonka, running back for the '72 team. "Aside from wishing them no serious injuries, I really wouldn't mind if they got a mild case of food poisoning."

About the Show
Miles Jacoby, who plays Bob Gaudio on tour in the hit musical Jersey Boys, is in constant search of a calm backstage space. The star offers this peek at his dressing room to see what his must-haves are to "walk like a man."
"I always chew a piece of gum right before I go on stage every night. A quick explosion of peppermint is a surefire way to freshen your breath and get those juices flowin'."
"Frankie says in the show, 'Family is everything.' I couldn't agree more, so I always try to surround myself with pictures of family and friends back home. It's always helpful to remember who's rooting for you."
"The Vicks Electric Personal Steam Inhaler is a necessity. Whether I need to clear out congestion before a show, hydrate during intermission (especially in some of these dry and dusty theaters), or soothe my chords after a two-show day, this baby is always around."
"Having a good book to read around the theater is essential for me. During the half hour I have before I make my first entrance as Bob Gaudio or between performances on a two-show day, a great novel is a relaxing way to pass the time."
"Comfy pants! Not only are they good for lounging and stretching, but they are also great for running around the theater during the half hour while everyone else is getting into costume. Oh, and I guess they're OK for napping in as well, but I would never do that at the theater."
See Miles Jacoby in Jersey Boys at Citi Emerson Colonial Theatre through March 3.

Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies 180 EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of Santa Barbara, California, contributed this healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe. She gave chocolate chip cookies a healthy update by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, Sharpe replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
Spiced Pumpkin Cookies 30 The deep flavors of molasses, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg make these wholesome pumpkin cookies delicious without the addition of butter--and they lend themselves beautifully to the inclusion of whole-wheat flour. They are also the perfect texture for a sandwich cookie--fill them with a slightly sweetened cream cheese frosting.
Boot Tracks 26 Patti Anderson, a professional quilter, had never entered a cooking contest before she took our challenge. This quick, no-fuss, chewy chocolate cookie is made on your waffle iron. No need to haul out the big mixer, you can mix the batter with a small hand mixer or even by hand. Kids love these!
Yummy Molasses Crackles 24 Nancy Caverly gave her grandmother's recipe for ginger molasses cookies a little makeover--reducing the butter and adding crystallized ginger for a spicy jolt.
Orange Spice Molasses Cookies 25 These spiced molasses cookies have added applesauce to help keep the cookies moist and whole-wheat flour and oats to incorporate whole grains.
Double Nut & Date Tassies 21 The two-bite pecan tarts satisfy the sweet tooth with far less guilt than pecan pie.
Almond & Honey-Butter Cookies 19 This thumbprint cookie uses honey as the only sweetener and tender ground almonds to replace much of the butter found in similar cookies. Just a touch of butter mixed with honey in the filling gives it a rich flavor without too much saturated fat.
Chewy Chocolate Cookies 17 We can't resist big, soft, fudgy cookies, like those found in glass jars on bake-shop counters. These freeze exceptionally well-layer them in a freezer-safe container between sheets of wax paper; thaw 15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
Chocolate-Covered Brownie Bites 14 Dip bite-size pieces of brownie into melted chocolate for an easy treat to satisfy your chocolate craving.
Fig 'n' Flax Thumbprint Cookies 13 We love how the ground flax adds a nutty flavor and the brown sugar caramelizes on the outside of these thumbprint cookies. Fig preserves make this cookie special; other fruit preserves could be used as well.
Dark Chocolate Meringue Drops 13 These meringue cookies have a puffy, fragile exterior and a moist, soft interior. They deliver an enticingly bold, knock-your-socks-off bittersweet chocolate experience. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Citrus-Kissed Honey Buttons 12 These citrus-flavored sugar cookies are a lovely addition to any holiday cookie platter.
Angel Delights 12 Frances Van Vynckt, 78, combined dates, toasted rice cereal and coconut into an easy no-bake treat that won EatingWell's 2008 cookie contest.
Cranberry-Honey Spice Pinwheel Cookies 11 These cookies boast a bright, zesty filling and spicy aroma. They make a large batch and are extremely convenient, since you can make the logs of cookie dough ahead, then pull them out of the freezer and slice and bake as many cookies as you need. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.
Lemon Thins 11 These lemon cookies are made healthier with whole-wheat pastry flour and they get their zippy flavor from fresh lemon zest and juice rather than lemon extract. This lemon cookie recipe would be the perfect accompaniment to afternoon tea.
Italian Hazelnut Cookies 10 These crispy cookies are made with Piedmontese staples--hazelnuts and eggs--and called Brutti Ma Buoni: literally, "Ugly But Good." But they are really more plain-looking than "ugly," and pack a powerful, sweet, nutty burst of flavor, making them welcome at any table.
Peanut Butter Cookies 10 A healthier version of an old favorite, these peanut butter cookies have much less saturated fat than the original.
Rolled Sugar Cookies 9 These make great holiday cookies when cut into shapes and decorated, but they're also a fine addition to your everyday cookie jar. We've cut the butter from an entire stick to just 2 tablespoons, cooking it until it turns a nutty brown to maximize the rich flavor.
Oatmeal Cookies 9 Applesauce rounds out the flavor of this quick, low-fat remake of classic oatmeal cookies.
Chocolate Chip Cookies 9 Here we use reduced-fat cream cheese in place of some of the butter to lower the fat in this version of the classic chocolate chip cookie.

Philip Sparke's Skilful Solos is the second volume of a progressive series of solo books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician. Following on from the first book in the series Starter Solos this collection generally contains longer pieces suitable for the developing young musician.
Specifically tailored for each instrument, Skilful Solos introduces the concept of phrasing by suggesting suitable breathing points and takes the player into new keys with extended instrumental ranges, new notes being introduced in a gradual and logical manner. Skilful Solos comes with a play-along CD. The advantages of playing either with Piano or CD accompaniment are that the beginning player can now experience the important aspects of ensemble playing from their earliest lessons, thus developing the essential skills of listening while they play and maintaining strict tempo, which is not always achieved when playing alone.

State slams Goodman's bid to move DUI manslaughter re-trial over media coverage
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
October 7, 2013
Wellington polo executive John Goodman's desire to move his DUI manslaughter retrial out of Palm Beach County - to avoid biased jurors - should be rejected by the judge, state prosecutors argued Monday. Goodman's attorneys last month requested a rare change of venue, arguing "unprecedented" negative publicity concerning the high-profile case makes it impossible to guarantee a fair trial. Chief Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath could make a decision during a hearing Friday; the trial is planned for early next year.
Defendant battles Boynton child sexual abuse charges
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
October 6, 2013
Leonard Cuminotto is fighting charges — while serving as his own attorney despite no legal training — that he sexually abused a young girl in Boynton Beach from 2004 to 2007. A former stay-at-home dad, Cuminotto, 46, has had a mix of court victories and defeats since his June 2008 arrest by U.S. Marshals in Daytona Beach. The defendant's latest setback, though expected, came Thursday when Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Sandra McSorley refused to dismiss the serious charges: two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation; lewd or lascivious exhibition; and sexual activity with a child.
New trial granted for Broward $30M tobacco case
By Donna Gehrke-White, Sun Sentinel
September 25, 2013
A state appeals court ordered a second trial Wednesday to decide if the Hollywood widow of a longtime smoker should be get more than the $30 million awarded her three years ago. The Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled that Broward Circuit Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld erred when he refused to allow R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. to present part of its defense. Streitfeld also wrongly lowered part of Connie Buonomo's 2010 jury award, the court said. Streitfeld cut punitive damages to $15.7 million from $25 million.
Attorneys for Goodman juror DeMartin oppose use of past testimony
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
September 21, 2013
Dennis DeMartin, the Delray Beach retiree accused of juror misconduct in the John Goodman DUI manslaughter case, is expected back in court Sept. 30 for his final hearing on a criminal contempt charge. But DeMartin's attorneys first are seeking to throw out the major evidence against him — DeMartin's testimony under oath in the Goodman case concerning his drinking experiment and his ex-wife's DUI arrest. The pro bono lawyers, Robert Gershman and Joseph Walsh, also have requested the contempt charge be dropped, and for the hearing to be postponed to allow for a challenge in the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach.
State argues against Dalia Dippolito appeal of murder-for-hire conviction
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
September 21, 2013
Dalia Dippolito — the Boynton Beach newlywed convicted in a murder-for-hire plot targeting her now ex-husband — got a fair trial and should be denied a new one, say attorneys for the state. Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office recently filed a 57-page response to Dippolito's appeal of her 2011 conviction and 20-year prison sentence. It's the latest chapter in a case that attracted worldwide attention, and will be examined in a new hardcover book slated for a February release.
New murder trial reopens six-year-old wounds for Delray widow
By Ben Wolford, Sun Sentinel
September 12, 2013
- Samuel Salomon died so abruptly, shot mistakenly in his van by bandits fleeing a robbery, that even today his widow still can't believe what happened. "I saw a crack in the window," Yvonne Chava Salomon said. "I thought somebody threw a rock. I looked over at my husband, but he was already gone. " That was six years ago. The couple had been driving home from Hanukkah shopping. Seven men were eventually implicated in the Nov. 30, 2007, convenience store heist that led to the shooting.
Change of venue sought in Goodman retrial
September 11, 2013
John Goodman's attorneys want his new DUI manslaughter trial moved out of Palm Beach County , according to a long expected motion filed Wednesday. Defense attorneys Douglas Duncan and Scott Richardson plan to argue the request at an Oct. 11 hearing before Palm Beach County Chief Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath. Duncan and Richardson have said intense publicity in the case has tainted the prospective jury pool in the county for the upcoming trial. In July, Colbath said "it might be a necessity at this point" to move the trial.

August 14, 2013
A judge has agreed to allow Wellington polo mogul John Goodman to visit his ailing mother in Houston. Goodman did not attend the Wednesday hearing, which was scheduled after his lawyers filed a motion late Tuesday. His lawyer gave the judge a letter from a doctor saying Harriett Goodman, 85, has a tumor and has just three days to three weeks to live. Goodman is on house arrest on a $4 million dollar bond, awaiting retrial on DUI manslaughter charges. Goodman is accused of driving drunk and killing Scott Wilson, 23, on Feb. 12, 2010.
Sexual battery conviction tossed over jail clothes
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
July 31, 2013
It's routine in criminal court for jailed male defendants to show up for trial in shirts and ties, lest jurors see jail duds and think of them as guilty. But when Kenneth Leroy Johnson stood trial in 2011 in Broward Circuit Court on having sex with a minor, he was forced to wear jail scrubs. That's grounds for reversing Johnson's conviction and granting a new trial, the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach ruled Wednesday. It's the second time Johnson, 42, has prevailed in appellate opinions on the same counts of lewd and lascivious battery of a person between the ages of 12 and 16. In July 2010, the 4th District Court of Appeal tossed Johnson's 2008 conviction and two 15-year state prison sentences.
Judge open to moving polo mogul Goodman's new trial
By Marc Freeman, Sun Sentinel
July 24, 2013
The judge presiding over John Goodman's DUI manslaughter case said Wednesday he's receptive to moving the new trial out of Palm Beach County because of the potential difficulty of picking a jury here. "It might be a necessity at this point," Chief Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath told the polo mogul, his attorneys and prosecutors during a brief hearing that addressed media coverage. An alternative may be corralling jurors from elsewhere in Florida and bringing them to Palm Beach County . The stars are lining up for a mid-to-late January trial, which would be more than eight months after Colbath threw out Goodman's conviction and 16-year prison sentence because of juror misconduct allegations.

Notes & Reviews:
Beethoven's unusual cantata Der glorreiche Augenblick (The Glorious Moment) is filled with patriotic praise for Vienna and tributes to the kings and princes of Europe after the defeat of Napoleon. It was performed alongside his symphonic Wellington's Victory at its première in 1814. The Fantasia in C minor for piano, chorus and orchestra opens with a virtuosic, improvisatory Adagio for the piano. The work's main theme anticipates the famous Ode to Joy setting Beethoven later devised for his Choral Symphony. Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the City of London Choir since 1989, Hilary Davan Wetton was founder/conductor of the Holst Singers and is Conductor Emeritus of the Guildford Choral Society and the Milton Keynes City Orchestra. He appears regularly on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM, for which he presented the popular series Masterclass. Acknowledged as one of Britain's most prestigious orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra enjoys an international reputation for bringing audiences worldwide first-class performances and the highest possible standards of music-making across a diverse range of musical repertoire.
"Davan Wetton rouses his forces to hymn the praises of Vienna and Emperor Franz of Austria, drawing from the City of London Choir the full-bodied outpouring that one expects at celebratory occasions. The Westminster Boys Choir adds pristine treble tones to the concluding chorus. The Royal Philharmonic plays with relish in both the cantata and the Fantasia" -International Record Review
The Guardian
Thrill-a-minute stuff that draws you in and sweeps away any scruples you may have. The filler is the Choral Fantasia with Leon McCawley as piano soloist, done in a very grand manner, though also with great panache.
BBC Music Magazine
With the aid of a strong team of soloists, Hilary Davan Wetton makes as strong a case as possible for [Der glorreiche Augenblick]...The performance [of the Choral Fantasy] here benefits greatly from the contribution of Leon McCawley, whose account of the long opening piano solo has just the right degree of dramatic intensity and improvisatory freedom. With first-rate recorded sound, the disc is strongly recommended.
Sunday Herald
An entertaining piece, so bouncy and jolly, that it's irresistible in this brilliant performance.
American Record Guide, September / October 2012
The Choral Fantasy is an earlier work, first performed in an 1808 concert that also included the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies and the Fourth Piano Concerto. It is an odd piece, neither fish nor fowl. First it's a piano solo, then a concerto, and finally a choral piece. Pianist Julian Davies plays well, but I was more taken with Howard Shelley's performance (J/A). Nonetheless, this is a persuasive performance, nicely shaped and controlled by the conductor. The choral work is again fine.
A good recording, then, of two of Beethoven's second-tier pieces. Special thanks to Wetton, a strong advocate of these seldom-heard works.

Its easy to see Baldwin on his way out, but Bowe might be kept around for a while.
How is Reid not big on receivers when he...signed T.O. to a huge contract, traded for Anquan only to have it all fall apart on some technicality, drafted DeSean Jackson either in the last 1st roudn or early 2nd, and then drafted Maclin in the 1st round. Not to mention drafting Freddie (FredEx) Mitchell in the 1st round as well.
He had shitty receivers for a few years in Philadelphia until he finally got tired of Todd Pinkston and decided to throw every possible resource whether it be trade, free agency or draft to find good receivers for McNabb.

Types of Asexual Spore
Fungi produce two major types of asexual spore: SPORANGIOSPORES and CONIDIA.
- Sporangiospores:
- ENDOGENOUS - formed and contained WITHIN a SPORANGIUM.
- Formed as a result of the CLEAVAGE OF PROTOPLASM around nuclei.
- Followed in some cases by formation of a wall around each nucleate portion of protoplasm.
- Characteristic of fungi belonging to the CHYTRIDIOMYCOTA, OOMYCOTA and HYPHOCHYTRIDIOMYCOTA.
- Two main types - ZOOSPORES (motile) and APLANOSPORES (non-motile)

While a delicious breakfast and a noble cause is enough to come to the 56th Annual Hudson PTO Pancake Breakfast on March 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hudson High School Commons, there is a smorgasbord of activities to keep you there long after your last bite is taken. Enjoy breakfast featuring Perkins Pancakes, juice and milk from Hudson's Restaurant, and generous support provided by PTO's Community Partner, US Foods, then go check out the entertainment, games, exhibits, prizes and fun that the PTO has assembled for this very special day.
The Prize Baskets Raffle is a yearly tradition, and this year it features an apple iPad, a one-week New Year's Eve time-share stay in Kissimmee, Florida, and a 4-pack of clubhouse tickets and parking passes to the May 9 Cleveland Indians baseball game. Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at the breakfast for $1 each, 6 for $5, or 15 for $10. Winners do not need to be present to win. In addition to the prize raffle, PTO is also conducting a 50/50 raffle, which offers participants the possibility to win hundreds of dollars in cash. Ticket prices for this raffle are identical to the prize basket raffle.
If games of chance aren't your choice, try visiting the children's games area in the auxiliary gym. Various games and activities will be available, with the chance to win prizes. Games require tickets which can be purchased in the gym.
For those who want to feed their soul, visit the District Art Show in the main gym, which will contain 20 pieces each, from every grade in the school district. In addition, several students' pieces that recently garnered top honors from the prestigious Scholastic Art and Writing Awards will be on display. The Hudson School District Historical Display will also have an exhibit located in the main gym. This bi-yearly exhibition is a collection of school-related artifacts dating from the early 1800's to the present.
The awarding-winning Jazz Ensembles will also be present at the breakfast, along with other musical entertainment. A schedule of performers and times can be found at hudsonpto.org under the pancake breakfast tab.
The PTO is also introducing a new photo op experience this year. Hudson High School Art Teacher, Tim Naujoks, and his High School Photography Club will be offering fun photos for everyone attending the Pancake Breakfast. A "Studio Set-Up" will be in the main gym near the Art Show so anyone can stop by and take individual or group/family photos, using some fun and crazy props and costumes. Photos will be processed on site by photography club students for $5 for 1-5x7, $8 for 2 - 5-x7 or $10 for 3- 5x7 picture prints.
The Hudson PTO has worked hard to create the most important, and maybe the most enjoyable meal of the year in Hudson. All profits from all the activities at the breakfast will go to fund grants and scholarships within the school district. Visit hudsonpto.org for information about Hudson PTO, as well as updated and complete information regarding the pancake breakfast.
So don't think you have to come for the pancakes- come for breakfast, but stay for the fun and support the schools!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Fish-in to Fishless Cycle
Fish-in to Fishless Cycle I already posted this in the wrong section. I had a 10 gallon that I instant-cycled with a dirty emperor 400 cartridge from my LFS. It had been running 2 weeks fish-in getting 50% WC with Prime every other day. Well, I returned the fish Thursday and added fish food as an ammonia source so my cycle didn't die to make sure it was completely established so I can get my BGK (who will QT in this tank) later in the week. Well, I added too much fish food and woke up to a yellow-clouded tank this morning. I have since removed the food that was in there (It was in a net) and simply added 10 API bottom feeder (shrimp) pellets (about 1.5mm) and two Wardley shrimp pellets. I let those break down in the net and today it's getting a 50% WC to clear the water a bit. I will also be placing the cartridge in the tank and putting a new one in the filter today because the amount of food in the water has clogged it fairly badly, I just wanted to get the new pellets dissolved a bit before doing so. Would I be better off throwing a feeder or two in there for ammonia? I really don't like the whole "not knowing" thing with the fish food. I can't get pure ammonia due to the fact that I am 6 months pregnant. I've never done fishless and it is not my preferred method. Shame on me, shame on me. I'll be changing the substrate this week because my current sand is causing my pH to skyrocket an entire ppm, how will this affect my cycle? To give you an idea of my "media forrest" as I'm calling it, I have;
Hopefully with this media forrest alongside the decor, I won't cause a disturbance in the cycle when I change out my substrate. If I do, I'll wait a bit longer to get the BGK. Does it sound like I'm doing everything right? I don't like the sudden switch but I felt it was necessary. My parameters as of yesterday; I did a 75% WC yesterday before returning the fish. Here were my readings as of this morning; Ammonia - .25-.50 (couldn't tell the difference but were 0 after WC yesterday I massively overfed the tank night before last) Nitrites - 0 (I never get readings here, my kit is old) Nitrates - 0-5 (they were 5-10 before WC night before last) I have a new kit coming but my Nitrate and Ammonia readings are always accurate. I test before I go to the LFS and have them test. Only difference is they got Nitrite readings a few times. I haven't tested yet today. Thanks in advance for any advice, Timber |
Your doing great, just keep what you can from the filters and hope for the best. You may have a bump but shouldn't last long. Try to keep the ammonia going so you don't have a die off of BB R |
I know this is a silly question, but is a tank cycled without having 20ppm of Nitrate? I've always waited for 0, 0 and 20 ppm but I'm worried with the fish food and transferring to a fish with a low bioload, I'm never gonna see 20ppm. |
20 not a magic number 0,0 and any reading for nitrate would be cycled but remember there is a difference between a cycled aquarium and mature aquarium.Just be because a tank is cycled doesn't mean it's stable. R |
That's why I've always waited for the magic 20. I never have swings after that. I have to have a stable aquarium for the BGK, though. |
Okay, so I tested my water before I did my WC and WOW did my overfeeding become apparent in the results. Ammonia - 4ppm Nitites - 0 (my new kit will be shipped next Friday) Nitrates - 5ppm I did a 65% WC and dosed a bit over 10 gallons worth of Prime as the conditioner. (It's hard to be accurate measuring prime for a 10 gallon....) I'm gonna re-test the water when I get home this afternoon so the water has a chance to circulate and the Prime has some time to do its thing. |
Here was my mistake; http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/...psff2db690.jpg The aftermath and removing most of the food (still too much in there); http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/...psd9e4a441.jpg After the WC and adding my new dirty cartridge to the media forrest this morning; http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/...pscf2faf63.jpg |
hi One way to get through the boredom of cycling a tank is to plant a few live plants so you'll have somthing to look at and watch grow. When I cycle a new tank I add only a couple flakes of food. I recently heard from Agent13 about instant cycling with used, mature filter media. I don't know about your specific situation, but my water never gets cloudy during cycling. Keep up the water changes and don't add any more food. Best of luck with your tank. |

Smears of "sick and immoral" "pervert" Jennings: the worst of the worst
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN
In recent weeks, the right-wing media have embarked on a witch hunt against Department of Education official Kevin Jennings, often advancing the repeatedly debunked falsehood that Jennings failed to report or even encouraged a 15-year-old student's relationship with an adult or the baseless smear that Jennings has "advocate[d]" for the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). Media Matters for America has compiled some of the most egregious attacks on Jennings that conservative media figures have made based on these smears, including calling Jennings "sick and immoral," a "pervert," someone who "facilitated" statutory rape, and "a zealous advocate of NAMBLA."
Conservatives lash out with vicious, fact-free smears
RedState.com's Erick Erickson declared the "profoundly sick and immoral" Jennings "a zealous advocate of NAMBLA." In an anti-gay rant posted on his blog, Erickson wrote: "Kevin Jennings is a profoundly sick and immoral human being -- a proponent of statutory rape, an opponent of the Boy Scouts of America, and a zealous advocate of NAMBLA." He went on to add that Jennings is "not just a gay man, but a man who believes in the full gay rights agenda, where men and boys can have sexual relationships free of prudish moral people frowning" and called Jennings "a man who encourages predatory relationships between young boys and grown men." [RedState.com, 10/9/09]
Fox Nation embedded video calling Jennings a "Pervert." In an October 8 post, under the headline, "WH Laughs Off Questions on Czars," the Fox Nation embedded a video titled, "Gibbs Is Asked About the Pervert School Czar."
Limbaugh: Jennings "urged" the "15-year-old" to "further the relationship" with "older man ... forcing his way" on him. On his radio show, Rush Limbaugh asserted that Jennings "is the guy that, the 15-year-old kid approached him, said, 'I'm having a -- an older man is forcing his way on me, sex and so forth.' And Jennings says, 'That's fine, are you using a condom?' and urged the 15-year-old to further the relationship, and then said later, 'I saw this kid come back to school and every day had a big smile on his face. I knew I'd done a good thing.' That's Obama's safe schools czar." [Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show, 10/7/09]
Limbaugh accused Jennings of having "encouraged" and "facilitated" a sexual relationship between a male high school student and an older man. Limbaugh stated on his radio show that "Obama's safe school czar is a guy promoting homosexuality in the schools and encouraged a 15-year-old kid to have a homosexual relationship with an older man, and even facilitated it." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/28/09]
Karl Rove claimed Jennings engaged in "in-your-face advocacy" of NAMBLA. On October 7, Rove told Sean Hannity: "I can't imagine that President Obama lacked the sensitivity to think that somebody who had said the things that Mr. Jennings had said, had done the things that Mr. Jennings had done, had taken the sort of high-profile, in-your-face advocacy of things like NAMBLA and gay rights and queering elementary school curricula -- that the president of the United States would think this was a person that he ought to put in charge of safe schools, and yet he did." [Fox News' Hannity, 10/7/09]
Several media figures compared Jennings to Roman Polanski. Media Matters has documented several conservative media figures comparing Jennings to film director Roman Polanski, who was charged with rape and pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl after allegedly plying her with drugs and alcohol. For example, Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers asserted that Jennings "should be fired" because "there needs to be zero tolerance for this kind of stuff ... like the Roman Polanski stuff." Similarly, Limbaugh stated on his radio show that "if you wonder why the libs are really ticked off that Roman Polanski might be extradited to face the music on that long-ago act with the 13-year-old girl, Quaaludes and rape, understand that Obama's safe schools czar is a guy promoting homosexuality in the schools and encouraged a 15-year-old kid to have a homosexual relationship with an older man, and even facilitated it."
Hannity asks, "Does Kevin Jennings support the group NAMBLA?" On the October 7 edition of his Fox News show, Hannity asserted there were "shocking new allegations about President Obama's safe schools czar," and then asked: "Does Kevin Jennings support the group NAMBLA?" [Hannity, 10/7/09]
Conservatives' smears based on falsehoods
Claim that Jennings failed to report "statutory rape" because student he counseled was 15 has been conclusively debunked. Media Matters exclusively obtained the Massachusetts driver's license of the student confirming that he was 16 years of age -- the legal age of consent in Massachusetts -- at the time Jennings counseled him in 1988. The student also provided Media Matters with a statement in which he said, "I was a sixteen-year-old" and "was of legal consent at the time."
Evidence in no way supports claims that Jennings "urged" the student "to further the relationship," or that student was sexually assaulted. Neither Jennings' 2000 speech for the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, nor his 1994 book, nor the student's own statement in any way suggests that the student told Jennings that someone was "forcing his way on" him or that Jennings "urged" the student to "further the relationship."
Jennings' praise of gay rights pioneer Hay had nothing to do with NAMBLA. In a 1997 speech often cited by conservatives attempting to smear Jennings as a supporter of NAMBLA, Jennings reportedly said, "One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society." Jennings' remarks include no mentions of NAMBLA. Upon Hay's death in October 2002, numerous obituaries noted that Hay was a pioneer of the American gay rights movement -- just as Jennings noted in his 1997 speech.

· Oh, That Liberal Media! · The Memory Hole
After decades of trying to claim impartiality, there have been several admissions lately by the media that they are indeed, biased. Last August, Walter Cronkite said, "I believe that most of us reporters are liberal". In May of 2003, according to CNSNews.com, Bob Zelnick, who spent 21 years at ABC News, "confirmed fellow former ABC News correspondent Peter Collins' contention that anchor Peter Jennings routinely attempted to insert his left of center editorial slant into correspondents' news copy". In June of 2002, Andy Rooney told Larry King, "I'm consistently liberal in my opinions," and that he considers Dan Rather to be "transparently liberal." And of course, former CBS reporter Bernard Goldberg has written two best-selling books on the subject. But the latest topper is this post by ABC News in their Weblog called "The Note". It completely jettisons any impartiality, and admits that it, and most reporters covering Washington have an agenda, and will slant their stories to fit it. Hey, whatever happened to the conservative media bias mantra from November of 2002? UPDATE: Speaking of which, Pejman Yousefzadeh writes, "You don't suppose that Eric Alterman might acknowledge all of this at some point, do you? Perhaps not--after all, God forbid that Alterman might have to confront and argue against any information that might interfere with book sales". ANOTHER UPDATE (2/11/04): Dr. Bob Arnot has left NBC. The reason, according to the New York Observer? "Dr. Arnot called NBC News coverage of Iraq biased." VERY LATE UPDATE (10/27/04): This is the big one, which I'm linking to this page for completeness. VERY, VERY LATE UPDATE (5/26/06): I just came across this ten year old quote from ABC's Charlie Gibson; it certainly seems right at home here: "I don't deny for a minute that I think that the basic political bent of most reporters is probably to the liberal side. Do, you know, do people try, David Brinkley always says there's no such thing as objectivity, there are just lesser degrees of subjectivity. Reporters try to get around that. I think, I don't think that's a particular problem for Bob Dole, I really don't. I mean if, you know, if it was, if it was so overwhelming, the press's influence, you know, why did we have the results we had in 1994? But, but is the press intrinsically liberal? Yeah, probably."Certainly can't argue with that--and neither would the fellas quoted above. MORE: Many more admissions of bias from media insiders can be found on this page. |

Hummingbird Cupcakes are sort of like carrot cupcakes, only without the carrots. Instead, they are flavored with crushed pineapple, mashed bananas, chopped pecans and vanilla, as well as ground ginger, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. The most unusual thing about these cupcakes, besides the fact that they contain both pineapple and bananas, are the multiple types of flour that go into the batter. The frosting is a light blend of cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. Top with a halved pecan and enjoy!

Plantaganet Palliser, Prime Minister of England - a man of power and prestige, with all the breeding and inherited wealth that goes with it - is appalled at the inexorable rise of Ferdinand Lopez. An exotic impostor, seemingly from nowhere, Lopez has society at his feet, while well-connected ladies vie with each other to exert influence on his behalf - even Palliser's own wife, Lady Glencora. But when the interloper makes a socially advantageous marriage, Palliser must decide whether to stand by his wife's support for Lopez in a by-election or leave him to face exposure as a fortune-hunting adventurer.
A novel of social, sexual and domestic politics, 'The Prime Minister' raises one of the most enduring questions in government - whether a morally scrupulous gentleman can make an effective leader.
©2004 Anthony Trollope (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
The problem alluded to by other reviews appears to've been corrected, as I heard the complete novel. The incomparable Timothy West illuminates Trollope's prose in such a way that makes the experience of listening to it far more rewarding than silent reading ever could.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"Feb.18 Customer Service says ..."
they have "escalated this to the Audio Bug Department to be corrected, and will continue to monitor it's status. Depending upon the extent of the audio problem, we may be able to resolve this issue internally within about 2 weeks, however if we have to request a new copy of the title this may delay the time until it is resolved.
In the mean time, if you prefer not to wait until the file is repaired, please let us know and we will be able to remove the book from your library and issue you a full refund. " (call 1-888-283-5051 or email Customer Service)
Let's hope that it's fixed soon!
"Trollope goes too far this time"
This should have been a good book and the first 14 hours really were, with an interesting villain and some political & social maneuverings by old friends from the earlier Palliser novels. But honestly, everything was settled and finished after 14 hours, and there 7 hours left to go. Trollope's heroines do sometimes get tedious with their insistence on morbid self-punishment but this heroine takes the cake. She goes on and on until no one in the book cares any longer what happens to her and we readers stopped caring way before that. It seems like Trollope couldn't stop dragging it out. Indeed, the book doesn't really end. It just peters away from exhaustion.
That said, Simon Vance does a great reading. He has a deep and delicious voice perfect for Victorian novels, and distinguishes his various characters' voices and accents with a light but effective touch.
"Not the complete work"
I was very disappointed in this purchase of The Prime Minister. The audio is only a small part of the novel and yet I was charged full price. That is why I give it only one star. However, Timothy West is an excellent reader, if only he were reading the entire novel. Previously I have purchased and downloaded all of the audiobooks of Anthony Trollope. Many of them last more than twenty hours reading time and they were not sold in small parcels of the book. I hope that Audible will remedy this.
"Perfect Diction and Seamless Rhythm!"
The narration of this wonderful book by Timothy West is simply superb. Because he is so obviously absorbed in the story and the characters, the whole experience is rich and authentic. Timothy is such a consumate actor that he sweeps the listener into Trollope's world. Simply sublime! Interesting insight into the isolation of the lonely and self-doubting leader. This is a fascinating installment in this brilliant and engrossing series. Emily's resistance became a little tiresome but Trollope was probably endeavouring to protect the honour of his heroine. What a marvellous team: Timothy and Trollope! This series is pure bliss!
Timothy West does a brilliant job of bringing this book to life. Experienced no problems with the download that previous listeners have experienced.
"As of Feb. 18, 2011, 2/3 of the book is missing"
This is not the complete book; rather, it is less than 1/3. I am addicted to the Palliser series as read by Timothy West, and was extremely disappointed when I got to the end of the 5-hour file sold by Audible and the book was abruptly cut off in the middle of a scene. Further research confirmed that the complete book is at least three times longer.
I hope that Audible will fix this soon, since Trollope as read by Timothy West is a pure delight. Audible, while you are at it, please add the The Duke's Children, the last book in the series!! And please let us know when you will be providing us with the rest of the book that we purchased!!!
"lots to be irritated about"
pretty improbable, what a wimp that heroine is. more importantly, it's anti-semitic and anti-hispanic enough to irritate--really anger--even a wasp.
he really is good, i probably wouldn't have kept listening at all if it weren't for his smooth delivery and great characterization.
i would be happy to listen to mr. west's reading of another book
Photo is of my portuguese water dog, Sheila!
"Weakest plot of this series"
I've really come to appreciate Anthony Trollope, and love his dry sense of humor. The plot for this one is, I think, the weakest of the books in this series. I give it 3 stars ... Kind of drags at times, but on the plus side not much about parliamentary procedure.
"Enjoy your Job not the Prestige"
I liked the Plantagenet Palliser storyline in that people today must deal with decisions regarding life quality versus job prestige.
I was a bit disappointed with the Ferdinand Lopez storyline. I really did not feel that it was characteristic of that type of character to choose that way of ending life. I think that he would more convincingly have taken some others with him.
Nevertheless, as always, a very entertaining book! Well read by Timothy West.
"This is now the full book. Bang up to date too."
Until last week if you bought this you only got the first third of the book. It is now all present and correct.
To me it is one of the most interesting of the Palliser series, contrasting an upright man trying to lead the nation with the bounders taking over the world at, as Trollope saw it, a time of moral decay. There is an arch-cad, involved in double dealings and who gets into Parliament. Lady Glencora is drawn into shady dealings, scandal is whipped up by the gutter press and falls on the Prime Minister's head. It was written shortly after a massive financial crash which led to a Great Depression which lasted over 20 years.
Sound familiar? So it should. And because Trolllope is a great psychologist it is gripping stuff, which really makes me feel there is nothing new in the world, though I will admit that the ingenue (Emily) is dull.
Superbly read by Timothy West, as ever.
"A promise of greater things"
Dear Julie (in Sydney): I'm not surprised you find this book weak as there's only one volume there - 3 or 4 are missing. I've contacted Audible to investigate and make good. I've given 2 stars in anticipation, but hopefully to be increased to 5 as with the others so far in the series.
"Timothy West is best"
It is a real pleasure to listen to the leisurely narration of Timothy West of Trollope's Palliser series. The stories and manners depict another world, and the leisurely pace of the novels gives plenty of listening time for a long journey. Timothy West does justice to the characters and the narration perfectly.
It is amazing how relevant the sense of isolation and stress felt by the man at the top is still relevant for today's prime ministers and presidents. Trollope shows a real understanding of a dedicated and ambitious character who could be in parliament today.
I felt a great sympathy for Planty Pal, even though he is sometimes a distant and unsympathetic figure.
Not at all. Like a good wine it needs to be sipped and savoured at a reasonable pace.
I really enjoyed listening to the whole series in order. It is a pity there aren't more, but the span of time and characters is quite long, so perhaps I am just being greedy in not wanting a good thing to end.
"Trollope as relevant as ever"
I believe that John Major is a great fan of Trollope and he must have grimaced at times when reading The Prime Minister. What insights from the 19th century! Striving in a limited way to satisfy his party but still having the arrogance of the aristocracy, Plantagenet Palliser made almost every error in the political book.
No wonder Lady Glencora found him hard to love, with his stubborn rigidity and lack of humour. A complete trial of a husband but one she had tried to please by making their grand property attractive to his supporters. A mistake but well-intentioned. She meddles, he frets, and they continue doggedly in their mismatched marriage.
I loved it.
I am working my way through the complete Palliser series, of which this is the fifth of six. Timothy West is a total revelation, each character beautifully and consistently voiced throughout the entire series. I find Trollope's characters engaging and the stories brilliantly told. Sometimes the political stuff can get a bit tedious but this is a small criticism when the series is giving me so much joy.
"Trollope and Timothy - Genius"
Timothy West - brilliant reader, consummate actor - charmingly renders this all time classic an audio masterwork. Overall production as good as it gets.
"Timothy West's Narration"
The narration suits the pace and period of the book. The voice characterisations are suitable and consistent. Almost nothing grates. Very occasional questionable word pronunciations do very slightly. You feel that the narrator understands what he is reading and unlike some readings are never on edge for fear of hearing howlers which tend to indicate the opposite.
Riveting, tragic and frustrating. I wanted to shout at Emily to run away from the dreadful Ferdinand Lopez, the villain of the book whom she foolishly marries. The tragedy is the slow decline of our heroine Emily, the shameful waste of her youth, and supremely, the anguish of her loving father as he witnesses this. Lopez deceives many, gradually relieves his kind father-in-law of a fortune and is feted in society as he is making his wicked plans. One does get very involved with these characters.
Our villain, only too memorably, meets his death by a shocking form of unexpected suicide which is hard to forget. The happiest moment, right at the end, is disappointingly underplayed, being left mainly to the reader's imagination.
Timothy West, as always, keeps us on the edge of our seat, or in my case, bed! Every scene is vivid in the mind's eye and we have an epic dramatisation in the imagination as his voice unfolds scene after scene in so many varied settings. West paces his narration at the optimum tempo for our absorbing a scene, event, or character. We also also catch a glimpse of the poverty of the era, as Lopez's partner is ruined with a large starving family and a wife who fights for the justice owed her.
At over 55 hours, one cannot listen quickly! I found it excellent value for the monthly sub. I lived in the book for quite some time, and still do so after finishing it.
The PM himself did not seem to me, to be the main character. It's a punchy title and maybe he defines the era by providing the backdrop to the novel. I noted with some amusement that his wife calls him the full 'Plantaganet' in private. Finally, I will listen again after a while, as I feel sure there is much that one misses after only one playing. Thank you Audible!
"Part of a great series"
This is a weakish book in Trollope's great Palliser series, beautifully read by Timothy West.
I am pleased I listened to follow the story through, not a waste of time at all, and anything with this narrator is worth hearing, but the other volumes in the series are so much better books.

Bussey holds a master's degree in interdisciplinary studies and a bachelor's degree in English literature. She is an independent writer specializing in literature. In the following essay, Bussey considers whether or not Graham Greene leaves open the possibility of redemption in his short story.
In his novels and short stories, Graham Greene portrays ordinary people who have the capacity for both good and evil. They find themselves in situations in which these opposing impulses conflict, and they must make decisions about the path they will take. Many of Greene's characters choose evil, but Greene often offers the possibility of redemption somewhere within the work. Perhaps this is the result of his conversion to Catholicism in his twenties. In the Catholic Church, there is always grace by which a sinner can receive redemption. By repenting, saying confession, and carrying out the instructions of the priest, a Catholic can...
