Blackburn have signed Wigan midfielder David Jones on an emergency loan deal for the rest of the season.
Jones is available for Saturday's npower Championship clash with Peterborough at Ewood Park and bolsters a Rovers engine room hit by injuries to Lee Williamson and Dickson Etuhu in recent weeks.
"I'm delighted to be here, Blackburn is a massive club," the 28-year-old told Blackburn's official website, www.rovers.co.uk. "I want to come here and make an impact so I'm really looking forward to it."
He added: "I thought my opportunities would be limited at Wigan for the remainder of the season and this chance arose so I wanted to take it.
"It is a good team and one that I want to try and get in and do well. It has been doing well recently, there are a lot of quality players (at) the football club and hopefully there'll be opportunities for me to come in and help the football club achieve their aim this season."
Jones, a product of Manchester United's youth academy, moved to Derby from Old Trafford in January 2007 for a fee in excess of ?1million following a successful loan spell.
A year and a half later he joined Wolves, once again for a seven-figure sum, and went on to make 76 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight times.
Jones has not found the net since making the switch to Wigan before the start of last season but boasts 29 Barclays Premier League outings under Roberto Martinez at the DW Stadium.
On Friday afternoon, Blackburn signed winger Cameron Stewart on loan from Hull and Jones' capture takes the number of new arrivals brought in by manager Michael Appleton this month to six.

Meredith Ballard is an economics major at Colorado College. But when she began her senior year last fall, she started feeling she was spending more time traveling to job interviews than going to class.
"It got stressful," said Ballard, 22, of Green Oaks, Ill. "I had to work on my thesis on top of having a very difficult class while trying to land a job."
The employment market may be picking up, but graduating seniors like Ballard — who ultimately landed a job with a Chicago advertising agency and will start in May — have in many cases known nothing during their college careers but economic turbulence and high unemployment. And they're facing their futures with more anxiety than ever.
"Nowhere has the economic impact been as traumatic (as) for college seniors graduating in the last four years," said Richard Berman, director of career services at Oberlin College.
To forestall entering the job market, this year's soon-to-be graduates are taking unpaid internships or social service work, going to graduate school, or even trying to start their own businesses.
Those who are searching for jobs are making it a higher priority than schoolwork. Gone is the luxury of taking it easy senior year.
There are some glimmers of hope. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is 6.2 percent, lower than the overall rate and the lowest since the start of the recession. And employers surveyed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers said they planned to hire 10.2 percent more newly minted graduates this year than last year.
Still, the odds for job seekers in many fields remain long.
"This year's seniors are landing more interviews, but I think it's more a function of their tenacity" than an increase in the number of jobs available, said Lisa Kastor, director of career services at the College of Wooster in Ohio.
Jacob Meyers of Elyria, Ohio, for example, has applied for 35 different positions and gotten three interviews, but no offers.
"I just don't want to be floating around after college," said Meyers, 22, who's job hunting while finishing requirements for his triple major in English, theater, and gender, sexuality and feminist studies at Oberlin. "There just seems to be this pressure from everywhere. Everyone is looking for a job. Even my mom is dead set on me finding one. She's scared, too."
At Washington and Lee University in Virginia, 15 students applied to meet on campus with a recruiter for an investment bank. Six got interviews. The bank has one position available.
"The employers are doing a lot more screening," including remotely by Skype before even entertaining the idea of an in-person interview, said Beverly Lorig, director of career services at Washington and Lee. "There's less willingness to consider a 'maybe' candidate."
Meanwhile, students and their families have been subjected to an unrelenting chorus of bad news from the job front.
"It bruises the psyche of your graduating class," said Lorig. "There's stress with seniors, and there's stress with parents. It's really important that we teach students to be resilient in these times. I fear that a lot of seniors withdraw after they get roughed up a bit with the rejections."
Many students have reason to be worried. Those who took out loans for college are now graduating with an average debt of more than $25,000 — twice the 1996 figure _according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Some students say they are beginning their job-search process a year before graduation, and they are networking more often with college alumni.
"Just because the front door to an organization is tighter, and therefore harder to open, doesn't mean that there aren't side doors into it," said Berman of Oberlin. "One has to build networking opportunities through recent grads and alumni."
For Lauren Martinez of Redmond, Wash., the time she took to job-hunt last semester paid off: The senior economics major at Macalester College in Minnesota found a job at a financial consulting firm in California.
But Martinez said the offer came at the expense of time and energy she could have applied toward schoolwork.
"My grades suffered at the beginning of the semester when I was spending so much time traveling to interviews, practicing interviewing and filling out applications," Martinez said. "It was all so overwhelming."
Still, she's glad she has a job. "It's definitely a relief to know that I'll have a paycheck," she said. "With that in mind, the rest of my senior year will be a lot easier."
Emily Fukunaga, a senior economics major at Colorado College, started job hunting last semester while also trying to complete her senior thesis. She landed a merchandising job at a company that sells luxury consumer goods in Hong Kong, where she will move after graduation.
"I had a handle on (the job process), but it was time consuming," Fukunaga said.
Students don't really have much choice, said Philip Gardner, director of research for the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University.
"It takes time and preparation to delve into the current job market," Gardner said. "The pressure is higher, and the outcome is more ambiguous if students begin their job searching as late as spring semester" of their senior year.
More students are also trying to get jobs with programs such as the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Catholic Charities and City Year, which has seen applications increase from 18,000 in 2007 to 47,000 last year and says it's already broken that record this year.
"Most of my friends who are really unsure of what they are doing career-wise are going into Teach For America," said Fukunaga.
Her college also held a weekend-long workshop for seniors interested in entrepreneurship.
"The job market is so poor," said Darlene Garcia, a career counselor at Colorado College who organized the workshop, that "they'd rather start their own businesses."

Glyptostrobus pensilis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Glyptostrobus pensilis (Staunton ex D.Don) K.Koch
Common Name(s):
Thuja pensilis Staunton ex D.Don
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Thomas, P., Yang, Y., Farjon, A., Nguyen, D. & Liao, W.
|Nguyen, T.H. & Phan, K.L.
Glyptostrobus pensilis was formerly very widespread in China, Viet Nam and possibly Lao PDR. In China and Viet Nam most of the natural plants have been killed due to expanding agriculture. It appears that there are no plants remaining in the wild in China and that the only remaining natural subpopulations are in Viet Nam and Lao PDR. Although the total number of trees is more than 250, very few, if any are producing viable seed and the majority of trees in Viet Nam are in decline. The species is therefore listed as Critically Endangered under criterion C. It could possibly also meet this under criterion A, but it is not known over what time period the greatest population reduction took place (it could well have been a long slow process exceeding three generations). Given current trends this species could well become Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct in the Wild) in the near future.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is found in SE China: Fujian, S Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi (it is suggested that most if not all of these supposed occurrences are cultivated plants (Li and Xia 2004, 2005) – there are more than 200,000 mature individuals known in cultivation); introduced on Hainan Island and in Sichuan, possibly natural in SE Yunnan (but this too is disputed). This species is known from nine small localities in Dac Lac province in in Viet Nam (Averyanov 2009). These represent two locations sensu IUCN. Recently several small stands were discovered in Khammouan Province, Lao PDR (Thomas and LePage 2011) - these are considered to represent one location sensu IUCN.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:China (Fujian - Present - Origin Uncertain, Guangdong - Present - Origin Uncertain, Guangxi - Present - Origin Uncertain, Hainan - Present - Origin Uncertain, Jiangxi - Present - Origin Uncertain, Sichuan - Present - Origin Uncertain, Yunnan - Present - Origin Uncertain); Lao People's Democratic Republic; Viet Nam
|Additional data:

No wild plants are known to remain in China, although hope remains that a few individuals may still survive.
In Viet Nam fewer than 300 trees occur in five localities. Three of these localities have less than 10 trees each. The main stands are located within Earal and Trap Kso nature reserves. No viable seed has been collected from these trees over the last 20 years (Averyanov et al. 2009)
In Lao PDR six stands were recently located during surveys of the Nakai plateau. The largest of these was inundated at the completion of the Nam Theun II hydroscheme. The total number of trees remaining is estimated to be less than 100 (Thomas and LePage 2011).
Although the total number of trees is more than 250, very few have been known to produce viable seed or to reproduce vegetatively. Within the context of the IUCN definitions, the number of mature individuals is less than 250.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|A heliophilous species, intolerant of competition and usually growing in pure stands or solitary along streams. In China it is mainly found on river floodplains and in deltas, always near or in water, where it develops a buttressed base and occasionally pneumatophores; also extensively planted along rivers and canals. In Viet Nam and Lao PDR it occurs along streams and in seasonally inundated areas at altitudes between 500 and 700 m asl.
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|The rather soft, yellowish wood is like most cupressaceous wood decay resistant and finds uses in China ranging from furniture to building of bridges. The wood of the roots is very light and due to its buoyancy it is used in China to make life-saving rings. This species is widely cultivated in southern China and planted along rivers and canals as well as in parks; except for the latter localities mostly to harvest the timber followed by replanting. In Viet Nam wood is highly valued for crafts and is reputed to have anti-cancer properties although there is no scientific evidence to support this.
|Major Threat(s):
In China and Viet Nam habitat loss due to intensive agriculture has been the main cause of decline. The subpopulations in Viet Nam are within coffee plantations, the water table has been altered and the trees are no longer producing fertile seed. Illegal logging of live and dead trees within the nature reserves has recently been reported.
|Conservation Actions:
|Surveys are required of all potential areas of suitable habitat in China to see if any wild plants still remain. The subpopulations in southern Viet Nam and Lao PDR should receive urgent site protection and restoration efforts are required to increase the size and viability of these subpopulations. If that is not done this species could well become Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct in the Wild).

|A medical group has come out with new guidelines for dealing with concussions in sport. The recommendations issued by an American Academy of Neurology panel included the idea that a qualified athletic trainer always be present at games. In addition, the group issued a position statement saying that calling for any athlete who is suspected of having a concussion to be removed from play until the athlete is evaluated by a neurologist or physician with training in the evaluation and management of sports concussion. The group is working to revise its guidelines for sports-related concussions. Will the new guidelines help protect the brains of athletes? We'll talk about it.

In Tim Alpers' autobiography, "My Sphere of Influence, A Life in Basketball," he quotes columnist Jim Murray's line about one of the greatest baseball players ever.
"The first thing to establish about Willie Mays is that there really is one," Murray wrote of a man who influenced Alpers so much he carried a photo of Mays and looked at it before important meetings to assure he would remain positive and enjoy life.
When I read Murray's line about Mays, it made me think of Alpers himself.
I remember how my curiosity about the origin of Alpers trout in the early 1990s led me to the headwaters of the Owens River. I was new on the job as an outdoor writer and wanted to know the story behind those incredibly acrobatic and tasty rainbow trout that were the rage of fishermen in the Eastern Sierra. I was greeted in the office of the rustic Alpers Owens River Ranch by Tim's mom, Alice, as gracious and as kind a woman as you'll ever meet, a living testament of the Old West and Eastern Sierra ways. Soon we were joined by Tim, who took me on a tour that culminated with a stop at a spring, the magical headwaters of the Owens River that forms the lifeline of the Eastern Sierra and the earthen runways for those famous trout.
I established that there really was a Tim Alpers behind those full-tailed, fightin' rainbows. But what I remember most from my first meeting with Alpers is that we talked more about basketball than we did about fishing. Yes, there was a book there, and Alpers has written and illustrated a terrific one that serves as a blueprint for any youngster who wants to follow his or her athletic dream.
I'm proud to say I've known Alpers for over two decades, but I had to read his book to discover that he overcame polio as a youth. That same "I can do attitude" that was forged on his family's Eastern Sierra ranch helped him survive life-threatening infections from hip surgeries in 2008 and 2009.
In his book, Alpers uses snapshots of his life and sports history that cover his formative years in Bishop, his athletic career at Bishop High and the University of Nevada-Reno and finally his coaching years at Tulsa University under his mentor and friend, Jim King, the former Los Angeles Laker and 10-year NBA veteran. The book traces his early days of shooting a basketball while a student at Line Street School at a makeshift hoop that consisted of nothing more than a pole with a metal ring around the top. He details a hook shot he made that earned him an early reputation as ballplayer. His father, cattle rancher and trout farmer Bill Alpers, built a makeshift hoop at the family ranch so Tim could work on his game.
The book not only has rare photos of athletes and coaches, but there are shots of Long Valley and Mammoth Mountain that will make you yearn for a drive up Highway 395 to go fishing, hunting, skiing or hiking.
Alpers was inspired to finally write his book after a long talk with a former player, Willie Biles, one of the players he coached at Tulsa. They hadn't talked in over 30 years, but when he got off the phone with Biles, Alpers said, "I decided to write about the influence that athletics and mentoring had on the formative years of my life. My hope is that this story might inspire young people to open the door to their dreams and blaze a pathway in pursuit of their own greatness."
All proceeds from Alpers' book, $39.95, and the first of a series, go to benefit the athletic programs in Inyo and Mono Counties. Check www.timalpers.com to order the book or visit Spellbinder Books in Bishop.

On describing determination in a Montague grammar

In my paper "Thesen zum Universalienprojekt" (1976) I mention two complementary procedures for discovering language universals: 1. The investigation of the dimensions and principles whose existence is necessitated by the communicative function of language; 2. The development of a formal language in which all syntactic rules are explicitly formulated and in which all syntactic categories are defined by their relation to a minimally necessary number of syntactic categories. Since the first procedure is treated in many of the other papers of this volume, I wish to discuss the role of formal methods in the research of language universals. As an example I want to take the dimensions of determination and show how expressions denoting concepts are modified and turned into reference identifying expressions. There is a general end a specific motivation for the introduction of formal methods into linguistics. The general motivation is to make statements in linguistics as exact and verifiable as they are in the natural sciences. The specific motivation is to make the grammars of various languages comparable by describing them with the same form of rules. The form has to be flexible enough to describe the phenomena of any possible natural language. All natural languages have in common that they may potentially express any meaning. The flexibility of the form of grammatical rules may therefore be attained, if syntactic rules are not isolated from the semantic function they express and syntactic classes are not defined merely by the relative position of their elements in the sentence, but also by the communicative function their elements fulfill in their combination with elements of other classes. Montague (1974) has shown that this flexibility may be attained by using the language of algebra combined with categorial grammar. Algebraic systems have been developed by mathematicians to model any systems whose operations are definable. Montague does not merely use the tools of mathematics for describing the features of language, but regards syntax, semantics and pragmatics as branches of mathematics. One of the advantages of this approach is that we may apply the laws developed by mathematicians to the systems constructed by linguists for the description and explanation of natural language.…

British & Irish Lions
Gatland confirms Lions coaching team
ESPN Staff
December 12, 2012

Comment by ESPNscrum's Graham Jenkins
Warren Gatland has confirmed his backroom staff for the 2013 British & Irish Lions tour of Australia and as reported, there is no place for Shaun Edwards.
Lions head coach Gatland has named England duo Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell and Wales' Rob Howley as his assistants for the three-Test tour next summer. The decision will come as a big blow to Edwards who has worked with Gatland for the past decade, first at London Wasps and then with Wales.
Edwards was head coach at Wasps during Gatland's time as director of rugby from 2002 to 2005 and has been Wales' defence coach under the Kiwi since 2008, during which time the pair have helped Wales win two Six Nations Grand Slams.
He was widely tipped to go to Australia as the Lions' defensive coach when Gatland was originally appointed to the role in September, given his closeness to the Kiwi and his role with the Lions in South Africa in 2009. But Gatland has opted to hand the defensive responsibilities on tour to Farrell, who has impressed as part of Stuart Lancaster's coaching team during this year's Six Nations and England's recent autumn internationals.
And Farrell will be joined on the tour by former England prop Rowntree. It will be Rowntree's second tour as a coach after he travelled to South Africa in 2009 and he also played in the 2005 tour to New Zealand. He has been part of the England set-up since 2007 and is likely to be involved with either the scrum or the forwards side of coaching.
The duo are joined by Howley in Gatland's trio of support staff. He too was part of the 2009 coaching group and he played on the 1997 and 2001 Lions tours. He has overseen six matches as caretaker coach of Wales and has seen his charges slump to five losses. But Gatland seemingly has faith in the 42-year-old and he looks set to be responsible for Lions' attack next summer.
And Gatland was pleased to confirm his backroom staff and also hinted that there could be further appointments in the future. "I am delighted with today's appointments and confident that Rob, Graham, Andy and myself can come together quickly to face one of the hardest rugby challenges," Gatland said. "Lions tours are unique as we have to mould together players from four countries in an incredibly short space of time.
"We have no illusion as to the hard work required but we have spoken of the challenges and truly believe that as a coaching team we can provide the players with the support and environment needed for victory in Australia. We will also discuss over the coming weeks the requirement for any further technical assistance."
Elsewhere Gatland has confirmed Wales' Adam Beard as his head of strength and conditioning and England's Paul Stridgeon as fitness coach. Dr James Robson will preside over his six Lions tour as their head of medical while former Wasps physiotherapist and the current head of medical for Wales Prav Mathema also travels alongside England's Phil Pask.
The tour will be managed by Andy Irvine, who played on the 1974, 1977 and 1980 tours, and he added: "Today is an exciting day and the next chapter in the 2013 tour story. The selection of the coaching staff is significant, this experienced trio have proven track records and we are delighted to have them on board. Importantly I believe we now have in the tour management team, in the areas of coaching, logistics, media, performance analysis and medical, continuity from previous tours, especially 2009.
"This is important as they all understand the challenges that lie ahead and the experience gained in South Africa will be essential as we head to Australia next year."

"Urban Sprawl": Solutions in Need of a Problem
"Urban Sprawl": Solutions in Need of a Problem
Newspaper headlines around Michigan paint a grim picture of "urban sprawl," or the transformation of rural towns and farmland into suburban neighborhoods. Public debate over this economic phenomenonand the reasons for itis often rife with unjustified hype and groundless fears.
Alarmists claim sprawl will lead to food shortages as more farmland is suburbanized. They urge policy makers to restrict economic development such as home building in rural areas.
But the facts are not so alarming. Its true that the number of farms is declining, but food production is not in danger. Michigan farms are becoming more efficient. The states agricultural output is projected to grow by almost 25 percent through the 2010just the reverse of a food shortage.
Understanding sprawl means understanding why people move from the cities to the suburbs. Better schools, safer streets, and lower taxes are just a few reasons people prefer a suburban environment.
To the extent sprawl is a true problem, policy makers should focus on solutions such as improving schools, reducing crime, and lowering taxes so city residents have fewer reasons to leave for the suburbs in the first place.
For the Mackinac Center, this is Catherine Martin.

Fish Inspection System Using a Parallel Neural Network Chip and the Image Knowledge Builder Application
A generic image learning system, CogniSight, is being used for the inspection of fishes before filleting offshore. More than 30 systems have been deployed on seven fishing vessels in Norway and Iceland over the past three years. Each CogniSight system uses four neural network chips (a total of 312 neurons) based on a natively parallel, hard-wired architecture that performs real-time learning and nonlinear classification (RBF). These systems are trained by the ship crew using Image Knowledge Builder, a "show and tell" interface that facilitates easy training and validation. Fishers can reinforce the learning anytime when needed. The use of CogniSight has significantly reduced the number of crew members needed on the boats (by up to six persons), and the time at sea has been shortened by 15 percent. The fast and high return of investment (ROI) to the fishing fleet has significantly increased the market share of Pisces Industries, the company integrating CogniSight systems to its filleting machines.

"It's a program that the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management has developed around developing the next generation of young leaders in the beef industry," said Forrest Roberts, CEO of NCBA. The program was started by KRIRM last year for students at the Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus and is now being expanded nationally. Between 20 to 25 people will participate in the distance education program that will take two years to complete. "Our role at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association is to work in partnership with the King Ranch Institute to help identify those young leaders from across the entire country," said Roberts. NCBA will also work with state affiliates to bring those future leaders into the program. Some of the aspects of the program include participation in lectureships and webinars, as well as media and policy training. Roberts added that, "How we work to develop industry leaders to have a real 360 degree view of this industry and of the entire beef supply train is supper critical."

Team USA duties trump jury duty for Pengiun's Coach Dan Bylsma
Team USA duties trump jury duty for Pengiun's Coach Dan Bylsma
PITTSBURGH, Pa —
Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma was excused from jury duty in two separate trials because of concerns he might miss a Team USA Hockey Camp scheduled this weekend in Washington, D.C.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Bylsma, who will coach Team USA at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in February, was summoned for jury duty Monday in Allegheny County. Pittsburgh is the county's seat.
Bylsma was considered for duty in a homicide trial and a drug case, but was excused over concerns those trials could last more than a couple of days.
Bylsma tells the newspaper he was "very interested in being part of the process" of jury selection - but also says the weekend camp will be the only time he can see his Team USA players before February.

Easy Creamy Artichoke Soup (Gluten-free & Dairy-free)
Artichokes are popping up in the grocery store and making my mouth water. Typically we stuff and steam them. Not this time. Instead I went with this easy creamy artichoke soup.
I like to serve fresh, local whole foods to my family whenever possible. Our grocery store had the cutest baby artichokes. Probably not local ones but they were fresh—well, you know, as fresh as a veggie that's trucked and maybe flown from some far off location can be. Off with the stems and outer leaves, halved and quartered into the pot they went. A bit of this and that later and the soup was done.
Ummm, it was kind of bitter. And, although bitter greens are a favorite this was just not the artichoke soup of my dreams. It's like that sometimes. A recipe is born in your mind. You can see yourself collecting the ingredients, cooking them up, and then tasting this wonderful concoction. Or not.
Undaunted I went back to the store and picked up some frozen artichokes and started over. This time things turned out differently.
Flavored with artichokes, a hint of garlic and fresh lemon then thickened with potatoes and hemp milk this soup was flavorful and creamy. And, like most good soups it was even better the next day.
Easy Creamy Artichoke Soup
Saute over medium heat:
1 shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
Add to the pot and stir:
32 ounces chicken broth or water (or a combination)
2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen artichoke hearts
4 or 5 small thin skinned creamer potatoes, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
Bring the soup to a boil and lower the heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the artichokes and potatoes are soft.
Cool. Blend with an immersion or regular blender until smooth. Strain (optional).
Pepper (white)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup hemp milk (or any other dairy or non-dairy milk)
Heat and serve garnished with a sprig or sprinkling of cilantro.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald explained his resignation Thursday on the belief that new blood would be healthy for the office _ turning the speculation to who might end up replacing one of the longest-serving and most highly regarded prosecutors in the country.
Among the things President Barack Obama and others involved in picking a successor will have to consider is whether to select another outsider like the New York-born Fitzgerald or one of Chicago's prominent attorneys.
Might a woman lead the office for the first time in the nearly 200-year history of the Northern Illinois judicial district? And could his replacement drastically change the way the dogged, uncompromising Fitzgerald ran the office for 11 years, pursuing powerful politicians, moguls and mobsters?
"Chicago is in such a pivotal position _ every sort of legal case comes up here," said Phil Turner, a former prosecutor at the Chicago office. "So, as U.S. attorney you affect not just Chicago or Illinois _ but the whole nation."
At his Thursday news conference, Fitzgerald, 51, carefully sidestepped questions about specific names, saying only that it's important "the U.S. attorney be somebody that's independent."
Fitzgerald said he spoke this week with Illinois' top-ranking U.S. senator, Dick Durbin, about issues surrounding possible replacements _ but hastened to add a malfunctioning smartphone complicated that discussion.
"He may have had a conversation with me" about successors, Fitzgerald laughed. "But I had no idea what he said."
Obama will nominate the replacement, but U.S. senators from Illinois have some say. The Senate must confirm the nominee.
Anton Valukas, who held same U.S. attorney's job in the 1980s, said he'd be surprised if Democrats try to permanently replace Fitzgerald before the presidential election and that he expected an interim U.S. attorney to be named while "a serious search" begins.
While Turner says many female candidates would qualify, he wonders if Obama might be reluctant to name one now, potentially opening himself up to attacks of using such appointment to win re-election votes from women.
And there's the question of where the replacement comes from. Former Illinois Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, who recruited Patrick Fitzgerald for the job in 2001, has said he believed the New Yorker's outsider status gave him freer rein to crack down on Illinois' corruption.
But many legal observers say there's no reason that many candidates with strong independent streaks can't be found in Chicago or elsewhere in Illinois.
Former federal prosecutor Joel Bertocchi said one could even argue that an attorney with depth of experience in Illinois and inside the U.S. Attorney's office in particular should have a leg up on a comparable outsider.
"I would say you need to know how that particular office runs," he said.
Fitzgerald, a Brooklyn, N.Y., native, advanced his career one criminal case at a time and earned a reputation as a hard-working anti-corruption prosecutor.
As an assistant U.S. attorney in New York, he successfully prosecuted major terrorism cases, including against those accused in the 1998 bombing of two U.S. embassies in East Africa and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Despite Fitzgerald's own successes _ including prosecuting two former Illinois governors _ Turner says an intimate understanding of just how Illinois corruption has worked over years should be high on the list of qualifications.
"Doing the job requires having a well-developed sixth sense of how things work around here," he said. Fitzgerald, he argued, didn't always have that.
Turner, who now works as a defense attorney, says private lawyers are hoping for some differences in approach. Fitzgerald had a reputation as too uncompromising, Turner said, someone fond of throwing the book at defendants.
"You jaywalk and he's charging you with conspiracy," he said.
Legal observers also caution there's a tendency to give too much credit to the top prosecutor when a massive support staff, the FBI and other agencies did the bulk of the work.
On Thursday, Fitzgerald said as much himself.
"I've actually been in the shower and heard someone on the radio say the U.S. Attorney did something today," he said. "And I had no idea I had done that, because other people had done it."
Fitzgerald's announcement that he was resigning comes not long after former Gov. Rod Blagojevich reported to a Colorado prison to serve his 14-year sentence. On the day of Blagojevich's 2008 arrest, Fitzgerald drew scrutiny by characterizing the former governor's actions as a "political corruption crime spree" that would "make Lincoln roll over in his grave."
A regretful-sounding Fitzgerald chalked that impassioned comment up to too little sleep and too much coffee.
"It sounded like a good idea at the time," he said Thursday.
Fitzgerald said he hadn't made any decision about what he'll do next, though he ruled out elected office. He did say, however, he could see himself accepting another government position.
"Whenever the phone rings in the future and the (caller) ID says `public service calling,' I (will) answer the phone," he said.

The Case for Keeping Taxes Low
Visiting Dignitary Lecture Series
Mackinac Center for Public Policy
May 18, 2001
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for inviting me here to the Mackinac Center.
As Speaker of the House, I deal with a lot of issues that affect people's lives. Taxation certainly is one of the most important, and that's what I'm going to talk about today.
It's been said that nothing is certain except for death and taxes. In past years here in Michigan, it seems like you could have changed that to "death and rising taxes."
Stay Engaged
I'm happy to say the Republicans put a stop to that. Along with Governor John Engler, the Republicans cut taxes more than 30 times in the past 10 years.
Those tax cuts have put literally billions of dollars back into the pockets of Michigan taxpayers.
This has helped our economy prosper and enabled us to strengthen our schools, improve our roads, bolster law enforcement and reform welfare, among other things.
But as you know, whether it's the national or state economy you're talking about, the good times cannot last forever.
Economies generally rise and fall in cycles, and right now we're on a slightly downward trend.
Most of you have probably read the accounts of Michigan's fiscal situation. The experts are forecasting tax receipts will be down about $592 million this fiscal year.
The forecast for fiscal year 2001-2002 also has been revised downward - to the tune of $741 million. However, thanks to prudent spending over the past decade, the state has a $1.3 billion "rainy day fund" that will help us through the lean times.
We've known for some time that we could expect diminishing revenues. It did not surprise me that as soon as this became apparent, the tax-and-spend crowd started calling for scrapping the tax cuts.
A review of tax cuts
In 1999, the Legislature voted to reduce the income tax rate from 4.4 percent to 3.9 percent over a five-year period.
The rate is now 4.2 percent. That will decline to 4.1 percent on January 1, 2002; 4 percent on January 1, 2003; and 3.9 percent on January 1, 2004.
The Single Business Tax will be phased out over the next 20 years. This tax has been a millstone around the neck of Michigan business and industry for a quarter century. It has been one of the most burdensome and impractical taxes on the books. If you're a business owner, the Single Business Tax is calculated partly on the value of your payroll. If you raise wages or benefits, that means higher taxes. Therefore, the Single Business Tax is a disincentive for employers to offer their employees higher wages and better benefits.
The income tax exemption for all children under age 19 has been increased to $600.
The special exemption for seniors and disabled persons has been doubled from $900 to $1,800.
Tax relief has driven the engine of Michigan's economy. It has stimulated business and industry, providing jobs, prosperity and opportunity for millions.
But there are factors beyond our control, such as rising gasoline prices, higher energy costs, the decline in the stock market, and layoffs at large companies such as DaimlerChrysler. The downturn is nationwide, not just in Michigan.
There's an adage that if you want less of something, tax it. While we do need a certain amount of taxes to pay for the basic functions of government, you reach a point of diminishing returns.
From then on, the higher you raise taxes, the less growth, development and job creation you'll have. The tax-and-spend crowd doesn't seem to recognize that spending cuts are practical and prudent. They would like nothing better than to delay or cancel the income tax cuts and keep spending spiraling upward.
But trying to tax your way into a better economy is like kicking someone while he's down and expecting him to get up quicker.
Businesses and consumer spending are the engines that drive the economy. The economy will rebound sooner and with greater vigor if we let the income tax cuts take full effect, and continue phasing out the Single Business Tax.
Remember what Michigan was like back in the 1980s when the Democrats were in charge? High income taxes, high property taxes, worker's compensation costs that forced many companies to leave the state.
On a larger scale, remember what the U.S. economy was like before President Reagan implemented his landmark income tax cuts in 1981?
High inflation, interest rates and unemployment. A laggard stock market. Slow growth; stagflation and malaise.
Reagan's tax cuts trimmed the top rate down from 70 percent to 35 percent. At the same time, Reagan eliminated many tax shelters that the rich routinely relied on to avoid paying taxes altogether.
This gave them the incentive to invest in the free market and actually pay taxes.
In 1981 federal income tax receipts totaled $347 billion; in 1989 they totaled $549 billion -- a 58 percent increase. That's right: Cutting taxes increased tax revenues.
The average annual growth rate of real gross domestic product from 1981 to 1989 was 3.2 percent, compared with 2.8 percent from 1974 to 1981.
Median household income rose steadily during the 1980s, and the U.S. economy created 17 million jobs. High inflation and interest rates, both of which robbed consumers of purchasing power, were dramatically reduced.
I may be preaching to the choir, but it's obvious that for Michigan in 2001, the answer is spending cuts, not tax increases.
Let me personalize this by discussing household income and budgets. Suppose an individual or family has been hit by tough times.
Many of us have experienced hard times - often lasting just a few months, but sometimes dragging on for years. Perhaps it was being laid off or downsized out of a job. Or maybe it was getting hit by unexpected expenses due to a medical emergency or natural disaster.
Whatever the cause, it's pretty much a no-brainer what the solution is: You look for ways to tighten your belt to make up for the hit your income has taken.
Many of us could name dozens of ways right off the bat that we could trim household expenses. Cut out the cable TV, stop buying Ben & Jerry's ice cream for $4 a pint, reduce your number of magazine subscriptions, don't eat out quite so often.There are many ways you could cut costs if it was necessary, without affecting the bare necessities.
True, it is not unheard of for a mother or father to take on a second job to help make ends meet. But that can take its toll on your marriage and family life, not to mention your physical health. So it's not always the best way to go.
Most of us would look for those spending cuts, and do what it takes to keep spending at or below income. The alternatives are grim. You know what happens when you run up credit card debt and have a hard time paying your bills.
You're wasting literally thousands of dollars on interest when you pay those credit card bills. And if you get behind on your payments, you could get your car repossessed, a foreclosure on your home, and/or a tarnished credit record.
Now, thank goodness, Michigan's government hasn't gone down that road of irresponsibility. Under Republican leadership, the state has done a reasonable job of spending the taxpayers' money wisely and prudently.
If we hadn't, we would not have that $1.3 billion rainy day fund to alleviate our downturn.
But to continue annual spending increases at the same rates we've had the past few years would be highly irresponsible.
I have encouraged my fellow lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to follow several important guidelines while dealing with state budget adjustments in the weeks ahead.
First, the basic foundation grant, an across-the-board, per-pupil amount given to public schools, must be protected so our education system is strong.
Second, the books must be balanced so the state retains its bond rating, which is crucial to local units of government. For those of you who didn't know this, Standard & Poor's recently awarded Michigan with a Triple-A credit rating.
Michigan is one of only 10 states to achieve that rating. And prior to this year, the last time we were rated so high was 1975.
Keeping the best possible bond rating saves the taxpayers money since it means we can pay back loans at lower interest rates.
I have basically urged my fellow lawmakers to approach the budget process with integrity. It is my position that if we balance the books without resorting to gimmicks, it will keep Michigan on the right economic path.
These next few weeks will be crucial. Quite frankly, it isn't going to be easy. There might be a lot of late-night meetings and some spirited exchanges between lawmakers who disagree on our budget priorities.
But I am confident that the Republican caucus will stave off efforts to delay or eliminate the tax cuts we've promised to the hard-working people of Michigan.
I will value your input and comments in the coming weeks, and I encourage you to remain engaged in the legislative process.
Thank you for your attention.

(PRWEB) January 09, 2013
A daring bid is currently underway to all outstanding shares of common stock of Nautilus Minerals Ltd., a seafloor gold and copper exploration company. Ottawa based trader Michael Bailey announced the commencement of a tender offer for 97 cents CAD per share, net to the seller in cash. Nautilus' current share price is 58 cents.
"I like Nautilus Minerals because the company is asset rich with a low share price," Bailey said. "They also have some of the highest grade gold deposits on earth. When this underwater mine goes into production it will change the industry."
Nautilus explores the seafloor for massive sulphide systems, a potential source of high grade copper, gold, zinc and silver. The company is developing a production system using existing technologies adapted from the offshore oil and gas industry to enable the extraction of these high grade Seafloor Massive Sulphide (SMS) systems on a commercial scale.
Nautilus also holds more than 500,000 km2 of highly prospective exploration acreage in the western Pacific; in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga, as well as in international waters in the eastern Pacific.
Under the terms of the tender offer, the family company controlled by Michael Bailey will commence a hostile all cash bid to purchase all the outstanding shares of Nautilus for an aggregate purchase price of $237.99 million CAD. This represents a staggering 209 per cent premium to the previous day closing price of Nautilus' stock.
"This was no sudden hostile takeover, I have been watching the company for some years now," said Bailey.
"I met the management at the PDAC a few years back and was impressed by the plan. After the company's most recent struggles with the government of Papua New Guinea became public, I seized the opportunity."
Nautilus owns the world's first seafloor copper and gold project, Solwara 1, which is under development in Papua New Guinea.
The company suspended work on the seafloor mining project in the region last November, due to a year-long dispute with the Papua New Guinea government over the cost of developing the project.
The issue is centred on the government's equity stake in the project, and the state has been trying to wangle its way out of whatever commitment it might have made to purchase equity in the project and take a share of the development costs.
The recent developments in the mining jurisdiction have not distracted Bailey in his takeover bid.
"Political risk is always a concern; however my goal would be to put less financial pressure on the government by offering royalties not tied to an investment and other strategies that would be a net benefit to the small country when the mine is fully operational," he said.
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at on March 1, 2013, unless the tender offer is extended; however, it is not expected to take that long.
"I will find out Monday of next week," Bailey said. "I am very confident as we have made a fair offer considering the company's current status."
Gannibal Securities has been engaged to act as advisor in this transaction and will negotiate lock up agreements with major Nautilus Minerals shareholders: Metalloinvest (21 per cent), Anglo American (11.1 per cent), MB Resources(16.9 per cent) and Teck Resources(4.5 per cent). The law offices of Faskin Martineau a national law firm will represent Bailey in this transaction.
Bailey currently owns a minority stake in Nautilus, and is now making a hostile bid to acquire 100 per cent of the outstanding company stock with the intention of taking the company private to finance and execute the underwater mining business plan.
If his takeover is successful, Bailey plans to immediately restart the building of the seafloor production system.
Nautilus was granted a mining lease by the State of Papua New Guinea in January 2011, and the company went on to state in August that the project is not a recent development.
The project equipment build at the end of June was approximately 51 per cent complete.
Stephen Rogers, Nautilus CEO, issued a statement at the time saying that Nautilus was in talks with potential partners to sell a stake in the project, and that Nautilus may sell shares to help raise $100 million if it could not find a partner.
Nautilus is in the process of finalizing details of the vessel financing, and securing a resolution to the current dispute with the Papua New Guinea government. Nautilus is still pursuing its efforts on both these matters.
Nautilus has previously stated it may need to rely on the equity markets for future financing of its development of the project in Papua New Guinea, or alternate financing in the form of joint ventures.
Michael Bailey, an experienced investor and resident of Canada is an algorithmic trader and formerly a member of the Band of Scoundrels, an elite group of high frequency proprietary traders that successfully shorted Citigroup and profited over $130 million in October 2008.
"This year will be a banner year for gold exploration as we have reached a critical point in history," Bailey said. "I am confident that exploration firms will see massive inflows of capital as gold prices continue to rise."

Retired NFL running back Marshawn Lynch is notorious for not speaking his mind in front of the cameras. But Tuesday night, Lynch offered some thoughts on the current Colin Kaepernick controversial knee at the national anthem when he made a guest appearance on 'Conan.'
"With what's going on, I'd rather see him take a knee than stand up, put his hands up, and get murdered," Lynch said as he stood with his hands up. "My take on it is -- [expletive] gotta start somewhere and if that was the starting point, I just hope people open up their eyes to see that it's really a problem going on."
Lynch expressed support for the movement and the bigger issue it represents, saying "something needs to be done" to combat systematic racism and social injustices. He also pointed out people who are not racist shouldn't see Kaepernick's form of protest as a threat, but rather a method of addressing a problem.

From its inception, the Episcopal Church has been a missionary church. Ever since we gained autonomy from the Church of England, Episcopalians have responded to Christ's call, sharing the Gospel with people in North America, throughout Latin America and the Caribbean islands, even reaching to Africa, Asia and the Pacific Rim.
This missionary endeavor resulted in new churches, dioceses and even Provinces of the Anglican Communion. These provinces continue to be our key partners today, long after their independence from the Episcopal Church. Foundations in Liberia, the Philippines, Mexico, Brazil and throughout Central America remain close to their roots in the church.
To honor these partnerships, global covenants with financial provisions were created and signed together. These covenants provide support to help propel the new provinces into the future. And even though some of these agreements have fulfilled their financial commitments, our relationships of affection continue as we journey as equal partners.

Summer of Salads: Grilled Steak With a Pineapple Punch
While it doesn't quite feel like Summer with the Bay Area's cool weather, I still want to enjoy a simple yet delectable salad. Tossing a mildly spicy ginger dressing over grilled flank steak with sweet pineapple, peppery radishes, and refreshing cucumbers proved to be a great sweet-and-salty combination.
The preparation is easy, with only a bit of chopping, a quick dressing, and flank steak that takes no time on grill. Next time, I'll make the dressing spicier by adding more pepper flakes, or take it to the next heat level with some finely chopped jalapeño. Also, I'd throw the pineapple on the barbecue to caramelize some of the sugar, creating even more complexity. If you're salivating over this salad, get the recipe here!
Steak & Pineapple Salad With Ginger Dressing
- For the dressing:
- 5 Tbs. pineapple juice
- 1 Tbs. soy sauce
- 1 Tbs. peanut oil
- 1 Tbs. Asian sesame oil
- 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp. finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup small-diced fresh pineapple
- 1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh cilantro
- For the steak:
- 1 lb. flank steak
- 1-1/2 Tbs. vegetable oil; more for the grill
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- For the salad:
- 6 oz. torn butter lettuce (about 6 lightly packed cups)
- 1 medium cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced
- 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion (both white and light-green parts)
- Heat a gas grill to medium high.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the pineapple juice, soy sauce, peanut oil, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes to blend. Stir in the pineapple and cilantro.
- Cook the steak: Rub the steak with the oil and season with 1 tsp. each salt and pepper.
- Clean and oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, covered, until it has nice grill marks on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, covered, until done to your liking, an additional 4 to 5 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, cucumber, and radishes with about half of the dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 large plates. Thinly slice the steak across the grain and drape it over the greens. Drizzle some of the remaining dressing over the beef, sprinkle with the scallions, and serve.
Serves 4.

Suspicious device found at bus stop outside Phoenix Denny'sPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- A suspicious item that was found outside the Denny's restaurant at Northern and 23rd avenues in Phoenix Wednesday morning turned out to be a non-explosive device.
The device was found on a bench at a bus stop outside the restaurant at around 8 a.m.
"When our officers arrived they confirmed it was a device that, given what occurred a couple of weeks ago, we were just going to take a safe approach to it," said Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump.
He described the item as a cylinder device that locked down and appeared to have some wires coming off of it.
The bomb squad was called to the scene.
They sent in a remote-controlled robot to grab the device and move it into the middle of the roadway. Police then exploded the device so they could see inside of it.
Crump said the device turned out to be the top of an industrial coffee dispenser that had a heating element hooked to it.
Investigators believe the device was left there intentionally to create a disruption.
Police are still investigating the incident.
Northern Avenue was closed from Interstate 17 to 23rd Avenue but has since reopened.

When it comes to fitness and organization enough is rarely enough.
It's not often that you'll hear someone say "my abs are just right" or "my butt is firm enough." I've even known a few professional weight lifters who could rightly have uttered those words, but did not. Fitness is one of life's constant battles. Organization is similar in that despite the claims of numerous books and infomercials the panacea does not exist. You won't hear someone say "I'm perfectly organized," well, at least not anyone that I know. Then again, I don't know anyone with a nanny, chef, trainer, professional organizer, personal assistant, bookkeeper, housekeeper and gardener working full-time and all at once. That person might be perfectly organized; but for the rest of us getting and staying organized is a life-long process.
Being fit and being organized require constant effort; any little change can get you off-track. A new baby, a new pet, a move, even long hours at work can challenge even the most organized of people. So at risk of sounding cliche I've made a list of the most widely accepted exercise guidelines. You'll find that these rules work as well for organization as they do for exercise, even if it's annoying to hear them over and over again.
1) Don't let a bad day get you off track. When you pig-out or miss a few work-outs you may consider giving up. Organization is similar, when the stacks of paper grow and visible desk space shrinks, you may think why bother. Don't add to the pile. Start with what you are working on at that very moment and give it a proper home.
2) Keep it simple. An elaborate exercise regimen can be difficult to maintain. Being fit is about making conscious decisions throughout the day. Deciding to take the stairs instead of the elevator is a small step toward fitness. Make conscious decisions to stay organized. Toss junk mail into the recycle bin before you set the mail down, you'll have taken a step toward organization with very little effort.
3) Start slow. Just because you worked out this week doesn't mean you're ready for a marathon. When getting organized improve gradually. Elaborate systems implemented all at once will leave you breathless.........sort of like running a marathon without training.
4) Be consistent. Exercising for 20 minutes every day is better than trying to fit in an hour once a week. When getting organized you need to create systems that work. If your system is overly complicated you're less likely to be consistent. Be honest with yourself and create a plan that you can realistically follow. Alphabetizing your canned goods may sound like a good idea, but it is difficult to maintain and will frighten friends and family.
5) Get motivated. New running shoes or yoga pants motivate me to exercise. Sometimes you need a little motivation. New bins for your closet, a media organizer for your entry way, or a new desk set can be just the thing to jump start your organization efforts.
A little motivation for you.....
