After five months of legal warfare, name calling and patriotic flag waving, Jim Balsillie has given up his fight to buy the Phoenix Coyotes and move the NHL team to Hamilton. Balsillie, co-CEO of Research In Motion Ltd., threw in the towel last night, after a bankruptcy court judge in Arizona rejected his bid to buy the Coyotes for $242.5-million (U.S.).
"From the beginning, my attempt to relocate the Coyotes to Hamilton has been about Canadian hockey fans and Canadian hockey," Balsillie said in a statement. "All I wanted was a fair chance to bring a seventh NHL team to Canada, to serve the best un-served hockey fans in the world."
"I believe I got that chance. I respect the court's decision, and I will not be putting forward an appeal."
Judge Redfield T. Baum also threw out the only other bid for the Coyotes, a $140-million offer from the NHL. But he left the door open for the league to make suitable changes. And he confirmed the league's right to select owners and control where clubs play.
The ruling is a clear victory for NHL commission Gary Bettman. who has bitterly opposed Balsillie, calling him misleading in court filings and blaming him for ruining the Coyotes and sabotaging the league. At one point this summer, the league prepared a 21-page internal memo outlining why Balsillie lacked the "character and integrity" to be an NHL owner.
Throughout months of legal wrangling, Bettman and NHL lawyers have argued Balsillie was trying to circumvent league rules by attempting to buy the Coyotes out of bankruptcy and move the club to Hamilton without the league's consent. The league backed up its arguments by noting the NHL board of governors rejected Balsillie as a potential franchise owner during a meeting on July 29.
The league stuck to its position resolutely, even rejecting calls for mediation by Baum. Several creditors sided with the NHL, fearing a win by Balsillie would tie up the Coyotes in litigation for years and delay payments from the sale proceeds.
Last night, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly welcomed the ruling and said the league will consider how to change its offer to satisfy Baum's concerns. "It remains our goal to secure the long-term stability of the Coyotes in Glendale," he said, referring to the Phoenix suburb where the team plays.
Just how that will happen remains unclear. The league has said it plans to run the club this season, and look for a local buyer. If one can't be found, the league said it will relocate the team.
Finding a local buyer won't be easy. Current majority owner Jerry Moyes spent two years trying to sell the club without success and the NHL could only find a couple of potential buyers this spring, before both backed out. Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf demanded as much as $23-million in annual subsidies from the City of Glendale before he abandoned his bid for the Coyotes in late August.
Baum noted the Coyotes have never made money since moving from Winnipeg in 1996, and lost nearly $400-million in total over the past five years.
If the NHL moves the club it could face a huge bill from Glendale, which paid for construction of the arena where the Coyotes play. Throughout the court process, the city has claimed it would be owed as much as $500-million if the Coyotes broke their 30-year arena lease. Neither the league nor the city, which backed the NHL's purchase bid, has explained how that claim would be resolved if the club moves.
The NHL also has to deal with claims from Moyes, who has said he is owed more than $100-million, and former head coach Wayne Gretzky, who owns a piece of the team and says he is owed more than $9-million.
The league has challenged the legitimacy of those claims, arguing that, as co-owners, Moyes and Gretzky are shareholders not debtors. Under U.S. bankruptcy law, shareholders rank below creditors and rarely receive proceeds from a court-supervised asset sale. However, Baum said the claims have not been properly assessed and he ruled the NHL's bid cannot go ahead as it stands without "first providing all involved a fair trial on their claims."
Despite that glimmer of hope, Baum's ruling was a blow to Moyes, a Phoenix businessman who had never seen a hockey game before he ended up controlling the Coyotes in 2006, after a fallout with his partner in the club and a real estate development, Steve Ellman.
Moyes put the club into Chapter 11 protection on May 5, largely at the behest of Balsillie's lawyers, who convinced him to pursue the legal strategy of using the bankruptcy court to sell the club. For months, Moyes has railed against the NHL for blocking Balsillie. He also filed a lawsuit against the NHL, with Balsillie's backing, alleging the league was an "illegal cartel."
Last night, a spokesman for Moyes called the ruling "disappointing" and said he was reviewing his options.
It's not clear if Balsillie will now end his quest to own an NHL team in Hamilton. Several other clubs are rumoured to be for sale and those close to Balsillie are not sure if other offers will be made.
During a recent court hearing, a lawyer for the NHL speculated that if Balsillie changed his ways and agreed to follow NHL rules, he could succeed in acquiring a franchise.
But, last night, Balsillie signalled he will be a spectator, not an owner.
"Nobody can deny that we are now a big step closer to having a seventh NHL team in Canada," he said. "It doesn't matter who owns that team. When that day comes, I will be the first in line to buy a ticket to the home opener."
There was no immediate comment from Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs, but the city issued a statement later in the evening: "Glendale is extremely pleased that the court has denied the bid that would have moved the team and pending further legal analysis of the ruling, looks forward to working with the NHL to keep the Coyotes playing in Glendale, Ariz., for years to come."Report Typo/Error

Tailoring is easily the cheapest and most effective way to breathe new life into old clothes, and help you save a ton of money on your wardrobe. Most guys don't have a lot of experience with tailoring their clothes - maybe you had a few special occasions where a suit needed some touch-ups before it was ready for wear. But tailoring is really something you should consider for most of the stand-out pieces in your wardrobe, and here's why.
Vintage Thrifting
When you don't have the cash to drop on a really expensive designer piece that fits you perfectly, heading to the thrift store is an amazing alternative, and you'll save a tremendous amount of money too. Thrifting is a great way to get quality pieces into your wardrobe on a budget in general, but when you go in knowing that you're going to be bringing what you buy to the tailor, the way you hunt for clothes will completely change. Instead of looking for something that fits you right, you can just focus on finding brands, styles and materials that you like.
In this episode of Style School, Tim featured his vintage Levi's denim jacket that he gets a lot of comments on. His not-so-secret about the jacket however is that he bought it for $15 at a thrift store and had it modified at a tailor for another $15. And just like that he has a jacket that's 50% of the price new - and probably fits him a lot better than anything he could buy in store.
eBay / Craigslist
Once you go in armed with the knowledge that anything you buy can be touched up, your second-hand online shopping options really open up. Instead of wasting time trying to find something that's the perfect size, you can just look for your size plus a size or two up, and worry about finding the best price instead. Try searching for specific brands / styles that you would normally consider a bit aspirational, and you'll be shocked by how affordable you can find them second-hand at places like this.
What to tell the tailor
Once you have an item or two you want to get tailored, you have to make sure you know how to ask for what you want. Tim recommends making sure that the tailor is using men's tailoring techniques instead of women's - bringing a jacket in on the sides to keep a square silhouette instead of at the back to create a hourglass look. This might seem obvious, but as he reminded us, plenty of tailors on the cheaper side are guilty of ruining plenty of jackets by making this mistake. Go in with a rough idea of all the modifications you'd like, and be as specific as possible. If you can, bring in a picture of a piece of clothing or the real item itself to give a clear reference for what you want the final product to be.
If you keep these tips in mind, you'll start saving big on your wardrobe and you'll look sharper than ever!

The teacher showed this image to her third-grade class a few days before spring break.
"What do you think it means?" she chirped.
From a cacophony of laughter, and a crowd of pronouncements:
{"That's dumb." "She is broken." "Are the eggs bleeding?" "It is about space travel." "She's an alien." "She's hot." "She's dreaming." "It is a bad dream." "She's allergic to dogs." She lost her job and can't take her dog with her." "Is she homeless?" "She is queen of the egg people." "It's the end of the world." "She is searching for food." "It's about coloring eggs."}
"It's about my mother and crack, and how she can't take care of me anymore. You can pretend that I am the puppy watching her go away."
The teacher moved on to the next image, while making a note to ask for Leslie's records at the end of the day.

"Muxima was built on a Honda 650, it?s the name of a village in Angola and it means ?heart? in Kimbundu.
The colors were chosen inspired by the nature surrounding those roads. They?re mainly dirt roads surrounded by an imense vegetation meaning that you?ll get an off-road riding experience.
Technically we?ve rebuilt a completely new sub-frame, that accommodates our seat, rear footpegs, a small rear light and number plate. Beneath the seat inserted in the sub-frame we?ve build an electric box to fit inside all the electric components and battery. Electric wiring was redone and simplified. A new gas tank was adapted to fit on this bike. We?ve built new exhausts, a new intake line, fitting a KN air filter in the end and new front mudguard. The suspensions were lowered a bit. We?ve fitted a new front headlight, new speedo, new handlebar, grips and tires. We?ve painted the fuel tank, air filter, engine and other frame parts."

'Vampyr' Goes to War in New Trailer
In the latest trailer for Life is Strange developer Dontnod's upcoming stealth-horror RPG Vampyr, London wages a secret war against its undead invaders while the Spanish Flu continues to devastate the city from within. Meanwhile, Dr. Jonathan Reid is having an understandably difficult time adapting to his unusual situation after being unwillingly enlisted in the ranks of the undead the humans are now intent on eradicating.
We'll get to watch the good doctor explore his newfound powers while he works to untangle himself from a web of tricky moral ambiguities when Vampyr arrives next year on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Stagg Bowl Preview
Mount Union and UW-Whitewater reunite in title game
Mount Union posted its fifth consecutive undefeated regular season, and then marched into the NCAA Division III playoffs on a mission, defeating the Purple Raiders' first three foes -- St. Lawrence, Delaware Valley and Alfred -- by a combined score of 117-10. Making their 16th consecutive appearance in the NCAA semifinals, the Purple Raiders then knocked off Bethel, 34-14, to advance to the Division III Championship Game for the sixth consecutive year.
UW-Whitewater's final scores in the NCAA playoffs may not look as dominant; however, the results were good enough to stretch the Warhawks' winning streak to 29 games -- the longest in NCAA football, regardless of division. The Warhawks topped Franklin in the first round, and then handed Trine its first loss of the season in second round action. UWW then hit the road, and defeated North Central, 20-10, and Wesley, 27-7, to advance to the Stagg Bowl for the sixth consecutive season.
Players to Watch
The quarterback situation seems to be the storyline for both teams this week. Mount Union sophomore quarterback Neal Seaman led the Purple Raiders through another unbeaten season, but went down with an injury in the NCAA semifinals against Bethel, and backup Matt Piloto was given his opportunity to shine. The Purple Raiders did not miss a beat with Piloto calling the signals as he threw for 335 yards and four touchdowns. Head coach Larry Kehres did not name a starter for Saturday's championship game during a media teleconference on Dec. 13.
UW-Whitewater lost regular-season starter Matt Blanchard to a hand injury after he led the Warhawks to a 10-0 mark while throwing 21 touchdowns with just one interception. But backup Lee Brekke, who had never started a college game, stepped in and has led the Warhawks to a 4-0 record in the playoffs with nine touchdowns. Blanchard is back in practice, and will be available to play, but UWW head coach Lance Leipold did not announce this weekend's starter on Monday's call.
Both teams also feature stellar running offenses as Mount Union's Jeremy Murray and UW-Whitewater's Levell Coppage are among the nation's leading rushers. Murray is averaging 122.38 yards per game (12th), while Coppage is rushing for 138.50 yards per contest (9th).
Stagg Bowl History
Mount Union is 69-11 all-time in 22 postseason trips, and is in the hunt for the program's 11th Division III Championship. The Purple Raiders will be playing in the Stagg Bowl for the 14th time. Their most recent national title was in 2008 when they defeated UW-Whitewater, 31-26.
UW-Whitewater is 27-6 all-time in nine NCAA playoff appearances, and has claimed two of the last three Division III titles (2007, 2009). The Warhawks have won nine consecutive playoff contests.
Series History
The two teams have met seven times in the series that began in 2002, including each of the past five Stagg Bowls, beginning in 2005. Mount Union holds a 5-2 advantage in the series; however, the Purple Raiders only lead 3-2 when the Division III trophy is on the line.
Stagg Bowl history the past five seasons:
- 2005 -- Mount Union 35, Wis.-Whitewater 28
- 2006 -- Mount Union 35, Wis.-Whitewater 16
- 2007 -- Wis.-Whitewater 31, Mount Union 21
- 2008 -- Mount Union 31, Wis.-Whitewater 26
- 2009 -- Wis.-Whitewater 38, Mount Union 28
Statistical Spotlight
Mount Union boasts an offense that is putting up almost 40 points per game, but it's the Purple Raiders' defense that is the backbone of this year's squad. The Purple Raiders pace the nation in scoring defense (7.36 ppg), pass efficiency defense (78.70), and total defense (196.57 ypg).
The Warhawks rank in the nation's top 10 in both rushing offense (268.79 ypg) and defense (46.71 ypg), and are outscoring foes by a margin of almost 30 points per game. UWW is registering 473.87 yards of total offense per game for 10th in the nation, and is also third in Division III with a 1.69 turnover margin.

Chart: Guy Carpenter Global Reinsurance Composite Return on Equity
Posted at 12:57 AM ET
Given the record losses in investment asset values, the rate of return on equity (ROE) for the Guy Carpenter Global Reinsurance Composite dropped from 13.4 percent in 2007 to 10.4 percent in 2008. The decline continued into the first quarter of 2009 — dropping to 7.8 percent. Reinsurers felt under pressure to produce higher returns, and so pushed for rate hikes.

The Cancer Revolution
Survival rates are rising, but new drugs are delayed by 1950s' trial design.
Forty years ago President Nixon declared a "war on cancer" and signed the National Cancer Act in December 1971, which dramatically increased government funding for oncology research. More than a few Jeremiahs are using the anniversary to lament the supposed stagnation of progress against the disease, but this is more accurately a moment to celebrate the rapid and ongoing U.S. revolution in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Pessimism was more warranted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as the cancer death rate continued...

When I saw that, in the two-and-a-half-year history of ilictronix, NO ONE had done a Benjamin Diamond post, I was appalled.
After all, this is BENJAMIN DIAMOND. One-third of Stardust. Co-producer of Music Sounds Better With You. Vocalist of the "Oooh baby" that causes instant orgasms in any French House fan. And of course, the creator of "Little Scare", a remix of which is prominently and appropriately featured on the French House compendium "My House in Montmartre". If you haven't yet heard it, shame on you.
Benjamin Diamond - Little Scare (Cosmo Vitelli Remix) [click to download]
I found my own French House-itude lacking several days ago in the fact that I owned nary a Benjamin Diamond album. Not even anything from his acclaimed Diamond Traxx label. I figured, with Mr. Diamond's pure greatness his albums would be easy to find and I would experience aural pleasure throughout.
Well, all of them are on iTunes, but real gangsters don't pay $1.29 for music, so I started looking through blogs. I only found the tracks I knew, remixes of the tracks I knew and only low-quality rips of tracks I didn't know (and come on, who listens to 128 kbps audio anymore? This isn't 2001). Even the great torrential network yielded nothing. (Note: ilictronix does not condone, promote or encourage illegal file sharing because it can get you arrested, incarcerated and laughed at by all your technocrat friends who are more 1337 than you are.) FINALLY, after days of scouring the net, CD shops and back alleys in Paris I managed to secure all three of Benjamin Diamond's coveted releases. I plugged in my Skull Candies, queued up Strange Attitude and waited for the earseizures to commence.
And, then, well... they didn't. Turns out Ben's first album, Strange Attitude, trades out phased Chaka Khan samples for repetitive beats, nonsensical lyrics and, overall, trite song composure. (So basically, like every French House track ever produced. I kid, I kid.) Overall, the album is produced masterfully, with all the tools one would expect Mr. Diamond to have, but all in all is.... boring. Simply boring. Take track number six, Joyride:
Benjamin Diamond - Joyride [click to download]
From the get-go, the beats and bass are unrelenting. Somewhere in the background, a faint Vangelis sample harps on the heartstrings of Diamond's vocals, which pulsate and phase out as Diamond croons about "My sweet baby" like a horny wino. Overall, similar aesthetically to our beloved MSBWY, if not a bit more raw (see: the 1992 Euro House vocal dub at 2:30) and a bit less disco. Nothing wrong, right? Unfortunately, the rest of the album capitalizes on that formula minus any sort of charm or groove whatsoever, yielding (in some cases) six minutes of pure beat, three minutes of the SAME lyric or phrase being repeated, and little to no variation besides alternation. Even the original "Little Scare" left me a little underwhelmed.
Benjamin Diamond - Little Scare [click to download]
Blasphemy!, I thought. This is Benjamin Diamond we're talking about here. I began to wonder: what went wrong? Well, the album was produced in only a few short months on the coattails of MSBWY, after all. Benny Boy must have been burned out, forced to rush production and sacrifice quality, or worse, both. That would explain the excellent production synth- and beat-wise, but somewhat flustered creativity elsewhere. His next album, Out of Myself, was five years in the making, however. Has to be pure French touch gold, right? Right? RIGHT?
Benjamin Diamond - Let's Get High [click to download]
The above is the relative extent of the french cheese funk present on the album. Yep, acoustic guitar intro and all. Don't get me wrong, I love the track: it's an electroclash ballad reminiscent of Phoenix or the Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", with all the synthy goodness you'd expect from Ben (and a snare sampled from "Da Funk", incidentally--though Ben isn't the only one to do that by far). It's a sweet little ditty, but a standout on the album, and not in the good way. For the majority of this album, Ben trades his synths for the guitar; most of his tracks sound like music you'd hear in an artsy overpriced Brooklyn cafe or as the backing score to an indie film starring Zach Braff and Michael Cera. Not terrible, but extremely far removed from the sound we'd come to love (or expect).
Pish posh, I thought. Every artist has a weird transitory period; Bob Dylan did coked-up rock n' roll for a while, Madonna got sexed up for a few years in the 90s and even my goddess, Lady Gaga, got her start performing Led Zeppelin covers in dive bars. Surely though, his most recent album, Cruise Control, promised to deliver more of the electrindicity and guitar strumming. And the results were...
Benjamin Diamond - Looking 4 A Sign [click to download]
OHMIGOD. SYNTHS. AND PADS. Oh, nevermind. Electric guitar all over the place. Still some synths somewhere in the arps during the chorus, maybe. The rest of the album for me was just an alt rock blur. Again, not terrible at all--just confused. I've previously stated that I love LOVE love when artists and bands can blend the acoustic and the electronic to create a bass menagerie. But Diamond doesn't quite do that. His sound wavers variably from one side to the other, incorporating what he can into where it doesn't quite fit. Sort of like jello with fruit in the middle: I love jello, I can tolerate fruit, but put them together and all I want to do it sit there and watch it wiggle, not consume it.
Sadly the conclusion of this story is me not quite being a Benjamin Diamond fan--or at least clinging to the Ben I thought I loved. This is not to dissuade the rest of you. BenDi is a masterful producer and a Roland whiz, and in fact some of the stuff from Diamond Traxx that isn't by him is quite lovely. I'll even post excerpts from his albums in the future if you please and let you be the judge... just don't expect glory and praise from my end.
In the meantime, bonus goodies. Enjoy them without my scathing commenture. (Even though that's no fun for me, wah.)

Good risk management does not imply avoiding all risks at all cost. It means making informed choices regarding the risks the company wants to take in pursuit of its objectives and the measures to mitigate those risks.
Good risk management does not imply avoiding all risks at all cost. It means making informed choices regarding the risks the company wants to take in pursuit of its objectives and the measures to mitigate those risks.
Designing risk management without defining your risk appetite is like designing a bridge without knowing which river it needs to span. Your bridge will be too long or too short, too high or too low, and certainly not the best solution to cross the river in question.
Best-of-class companies do not discuss and design their risk management as an isolated add-on process, but as an integral part of their strategy design and execution. New strategic initiatives may open enticing opportunities, but the expected rewards have to be balanced against the related risks.
To integrate the risk dimension fully in its strategy design, a company needs to know how much risk it is willing to take and how it wants to balance risks and opportunities. Defining this risk appetite is an essential element of a company's enterprise risk management (ERM).
When deciding on its risk appetite for each category of risk, the board of directors should consider the risk capacity of the company. This includes the amount and type of risk an organization is able to support in pursuit of its business objectives, taking into account its capital structure and access to financial markets, as well as its "non-financial equity," (e.g., the flexibility and loyalty of its work force).
If a company decides on a strategy and related risk appetite that sits uncomfortably with its financial risk capacity, it can decide to increase that risk. In this way, the risk appetite of an organization establishes a direct link between its strategy and performance management, its risk management and its capital structure.
A well-defined risk appetite forces a company to include the risk factor in any major strategic or tactical decision: is this course of action compatible with our risk appetite?
Defining risk appetite is a task for the board and top management, as it is intimately linked to defining the overall strategy of a company. The board's composition should include members who are familiar with risk management and with concepts such as risk appetite.
Discussions on risk appetite will usually include a variety of topics such as:
In this balancing act, the board should take into account the expectations of shareholders, regulators and other stakeholders. The risk appetite should also be consistent with the culture of the company and with the capacity of the organization to manage risks inherent in its business activities.
It can be useful to look at reactions inside and outside the company to recent risk events to determine the true appetite. It may also be appropriate to test the risk appetite among the board and executive management through scenario games of possible risk events.
A good description of a company's risk appetite will have qualitative as well as quantitative elements. On various issues, it may include definitions of what is acceptable and what is not.
Once the organization's overall risk appetite has been clearly defined, the board and executive management should communicate it broadly throughout the organization to ensure all actions of the company are in line with the risk appetite. At the same time, executive management should operationalize the risk appetite in various steps and for all relevant risks and business units.
The risk pyramid
Again, this top-down process is similar to the one normally followed in performance management. Risk appetite regarding the company's strategic goals should be divided into the following elements:
Breaching a risk tolerance level should serve as a red alert for management – the risk position must be reduced. Breaching a risk limit, however, acts more like a yellow warning light. Action is required unless there are good reasons to maintain the current risk level.
Risk appetite/tolerance/target example
This flexibility in reacting to the breach of a risk limit is the consequence of a simple fact: risks change continuously. As such, a definition of risk appetite cannot be a one-off exercise. Risk appetite, tolerance, targets and limits are not static. They must be updated with changes in a company's environment (economy, markets, regulations, technology etc.), strategy and performance.
A new balanced scorecard: measuring performance and risk shows how to integrate risk management and performance management. Speed through common language: critical factors in risk management today analyzes the importance of a common risk language for swift reaction to change.

A Latina with an Independent Spirit!
Published July 2013
As we celebrate Independence Day this month, I think about the sacrifices many have made for our freedom, including Latinas who have served and fought in the armed forces. Latinas have a proud history of serving their country.
Today, Latinas are a significant percentage of the 1.6 million women veterans and 1.2 million Hispanic veterans. Most have not engaged directly in combat, but played important support roles.
Rebecca Villalpando is just one of many brave Latinas who saw the military as a path to enhancing their lives. The 53-year-old, single mother of two joined the Navy when she was just 19 years old, served four years on active duty and another eight years in the Reserves.
Rebecca, a native of Arizona, has traveled the world with the military. Her love for her country also led to her a Fellowship with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in Washington D.C. in 2004-2006.
She said she joined the military despite her family's lack of understanding and support. They didn't understand why she wanted to enlist in the armed forces and leave Arizona. Rebecca was a pioneer who says she doesn't regret any of it, because it helped her grow, stretch and learn. I, for one, am thankful for her bravery and service. She and many other Latinas have kept our nation safe.
She is a military veteran. She is a mother. She has also survived divorce and single parenthood. She has worked during the day and has taken one or two classes at a time, year after year, and is now a few credits away from receiving a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in political science from ASU.
When asked what she was most proud of, she said, "I was a single mother, who refused to be a statistic. I was raised to not rely on government assistance and to not be a quitter." Rebecca's advice to single mothers: "Follow your dreams … and take your kids with you!"
She exposed her two sons to education and exploring the U.S. Both are pursuing college degrees as well.
Latinas are smart, she says; they know how to make things work and keep everything together for their families. Rebecca makes us all believe that we can do just about anything.
Rebecca's faith kept her going during tough times. Her advice is to keep focused on your goals and don't be afraid to be the first in your family to do something.
"Our ancestors moved to a new country and made it," Rebecca said, "Don't let anyone's lack of support stop you from accomplishing your dreams."
Recently, Rebecca helped start a Veteran Women's Shelter in Phoenix (MANA), a transitional residential program for women vets who served in the Marines, Army, Navy and Air Force. This is the first homeless shelter of its kind in the Phoenix area (perhaps, one-quarter of all veterans are homeless).
Rebecca is a proud veteran and a Latina Still Standing. Today and every day, let's not forget our country's best kept secret: Latina women in the military. We all need to support and honor them.
God bless all Latinas serving in the military and all soldiers who have given their lives for our freedom.

Can you afford to buy here? If you like, we can get one of our mortgage experts to tell you exactly how much you can borrow, which is the best mortgage for you or how much they could save you right now if you have an existing mortgage. Click here to get help choosing the best mortgage rate
With a median listing price of $214,900, Lashburn is Canada's 2638th most expensive when ordered by median listing price.
In Aug the median listed house price of $214,900 in Lashburn was an above average compared to the rest of Saskatchewan.
3 bedroom properties are the most common available for real estate investors this month in neighbourhood.
According to our stats, Lashburn is the neighbourhood that has the 73th most properties available to real estate investors in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan has hundreds of possible neighbourhoods for you to invest in and there is lots of data to sift through to help you narrow your search down.
Because the amount of real estate listed for sale has stayed the same it looks like housing market forces in neighbourhood are likely to not necessarily affect house prices.
Across Canada the most common number of bedroom property being listed has 2 bedrooms, in Aug this neighbourhood's most common listing the same as the national average.
Can we guarantee how well Lashburn is going to do next year? No, but we can look at the data we have and use it as a starting point before doing research.
Stock on the market can be an important leading indicator of whether market pressure will be on prices to rise or fall – in Lashburn there is about the same amount of stock than three months ago. This would indicate housing stock pressure remaining the same.
Just fill in a few details, and we'll arrange for a Mortgage adviser to help you find the best mortgage for your needs

Golf Channel Contributor Alex Miceli is in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada this week for the RBC Canadian Open. Ernie Els became the third Major Champion in the last four Majors to use an anchored putter and Miceli said that many people misunderstand what the USGA and R&A are concerned about. They are not as worried about professionals using belly putters as they are about young kids using them. He thinks that the USGA and R&A are on the same page in that they both believe that anchoring presents a problem but that the USGA is a bit more reticent to take immediate action.
On the question of Royal Portrush hosting an Open Championship in the future, R&A Chief Executive Peter Dawson poured ice cold water on the idea last week. Dawson said that a lot of money would have to spent to bring Royal Portrush up to a level where an Open Championship could be hosted and Dawson said that he would not be willing to spend so much money on a course if it were not going to be hosted on numerous occasions over a long period of time. Many people feel that Royal Portrush would only host once and while Dawson does not support the idea of spending so much money on a one-off host, the position of the R&A could change when Dawson leaves or if a public or private sector course could come up with the money needed to upgrade the course and facility at Royal Portrush. But as of now, it does not appear that Royal Portrush will host an Open Championship in the near future.

The Women's March was all over the news in January, so it got me thinking about self-defense techniques that every female should be aware of. The first thing I have to point out is that prevention is always better than combat, so if you're ever in a tricky situation, if you can get out of it without using violence, that would be ideal.
One of the main pieces of advice I can give you is to try to force your attacker to go into an area where there are many people. If you can and have somebody to talk to, be sure to tell them that you feel threatened before something bad happens. If escape isn't possible at all, you have to shout loudly and push back at the attacker as visibly as possible, particularly if you're in the middle of a crowd. However, if you are all alone, there are some other things you can do. In fact, shouting might be a bad idea if the offender finds you vulnerable and can take advantage of your vulnerability.
Hitting the right body areas
The position and state of your attacker should determine the most vulnerable areas on his or her body. Some of the first bodily regions I can think of, in this sense, are the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the groin, and the knees. Most of the anatomical parts in the head area are somewhat, but you might want to go for the eyes if you have the opportunity as they're particularly sensitive and can momentarily affect your attacker's sight. What this means is that he or she will not have the opportunity to see where you're going, therefore giving you the chance to escape.
If you've ever been to some self-defense classes or you're simply in good shape, you might want also want to consider the side of the neck. Some people might not think of this region as a good target, but the fact of the matter is that it really is because both the jugular vein and the carotid artery go through this area. The least thing you could do is stun your offender so that he or she gives you some time to run.
Use everything you can
If you're walking home in the dark and have no pepper spray or anything other that might cause some damage to your attacker, it might be a good idea to hold a key between your fingers so that you can stick them into his or her eyes. Tossing some sand into one's eyes can cause a serious drawback and even give you the chance to call 911. The main point here is that it's better to be safe than sorry. If you have the time, I would advise you to join a self-defense class in your area.

HIGH in the Cleveland Stadium press box, Dick Steinberg, in a blue sport shirt and khaki slacks, suffered in silence. Every so often during the Jets' 27-7 disaster, their general manager glanced at a television replay or peered through his binoculars, but he seldom reacted. Not a grunt nor a groan. Not a word, not even to James Harris, the assistant general manager, sitting next to him.
When the Jets' third consecutive loss after a 2-0 start was over, Steinberg put on a blue windbreaker, took the elevator downstairs and walked unrecognized against the tide of celebrating Browns fans to his team's locker room.
But how long will the Jets be Dick Steinberg's team? If their record doesn't improve quickly, if they skid to a 6-10 record or worse, as now seems likely after yesterday's embarrassment, won't it be time for their oil-baron owner, Leon Hess, to reassess Steinberg's value after five seasons as general manager?
When Steinberg changed coaches, firing Bruce Coslet and promoting Pete Carroll, after last season's 8-8 treadmill, the general manager seemed to be buying time for himself.
If the Jets had remained on that treadmill this season with Coslet, then Steinberg would have been responsible for prolonging the treadmill. By hiring a new coach, he presumably would be able to prolong his own tenure. But if the Jets don't respond to Carroll soon, Steinberg must be held accountable for hiring him.Continue reading the main story
When the Jets stunned the Bills in Buffalo, 23-3, Carroll was hailed for his enthusiasm. When the Jets followed with an 25-22 overtime victory against the Denver Broncos, he was hailed as a football Freud for having convinced his players that they were playing in "the Meadowlands," not in the stadium named for that other team.
But with the Jets having lost to the Dolphins, the Bears and the Browns, the rookie coach now has the confused look of a rookie coach.
"We've got to find out something about where we're going," Carroll was saying now, "because we're not going anywhere now."
But as a rookie coach, Carroll has no experience to call on when his team is struggling. No experience of leading them out of the wilderness. That's also his players' problem. They have no experience of having won big games together. Not with a 2-3 record after four seasons of 6-10, 8-8, 4-12 and 8-8 records.
All those Jets fans who remember Super Bowl III still cling to Joe Namath. But to these Jets players, Joe Namath is somebody they see on television commercials. When these Jets players need to come together to snap a slump, they have nothing to cling to, nothing to stand on, nothing to remember.
Ronnie Lott, Art Monk, Tony Casillas and Bill Pickel wear Super Bowl rings. Boomer Esiason was all but measured for one. But none of the other Jets know what it is to be on a real winner.
As the Jets' general manager, Steinberg has assembled players but he hasn't assembled a team. And the jury is still out on his choice of Carroll as a coach. Steinberg arrived from the Patriots with a reputation as a talent scout. But of his five first-round choices, only wide receiver Rob Moore has the look of a potential Pro Bowl player.
Blair Thomas never blossomed as a running back and is gone. Johnny Mitchell has yet to mature at tight end. Marvin Jones's development as a middle linebacker has been delayed by injuries. Aaron Glenn is a rookie cornerback.
When unrestricted free agents suddenly were available in 1993, Hess opened the Jets' treasury. Steinberg signed Lott and the since departed defensive lineman, Leonard Marshall; he used Hess's millions to take Esiason's contract off the Bengals' hands. This season he added Monk, kicker Nick Lowery and backup quarterback Jack Trudeau.
But yesterday Trudeau didn't even live up to the scouting report he had in eight seasons with the Colts: that he'll win some games, but he won't take his team to the Super Bowl.
"We're not going to win," Trudeau said, "until everybody is making plays, until everybody is doing what they're supposed to do, including me. Everybody on this team has to pay attention to what they're supposed to do and do it."
That sounded as if some of the Jets on offense didn't know their pass routes or their blocking assignments. That's a player's responsibility, but it's also a coach's job.
It's also a general manager's job to select or sign players who will pay attention to what they're supposed to do and do it. But as the Jets await their return to "the Meadowlands" against the Colts and the Patriots the next two Sundays, they don't have enough of those players.
And if that's the reason these Jets don't have a memory of having won big games together, it's also the reason Dick Steinberg is suffering in silence.Continue reading the main story

Rebuffing a hostile tender offer from Japonica Partners, directors of CNW Corp. Tuesday approved a $50-a-share cash and stock merger agreement with an investor group led by Blackstone Capital Partners L.P. and including 25 senior CNW managers.
New York-based Japonica Partners reacted by withdrawing its $44-a-share tender offer for CNW stock, ending a three-month battle to wrest control of the company. Japonica lost a proxy contest at CNW`s annual meeting last month. New York-based Blackstone`s general partners include former Commerce Secretary Peter Peterson and former U.S. budget director David Stockman.

N. England Permanent Staff Placements Fall for Second Successive Month
The number of candidates placed in permanent positions in the North of England fell during July.
The pace of contraction was modest, and slowed from June. The fall in placements was slightly slower than the UK average. Temporary staff billings decreased in the North during July, extending the current period of contraction to three months.
The rate of decline was solid, but eased from June. That said, the reduction in temporary billings in the region was faster than seen at the UK level.
The South also saw a reduction in permanent staff appointments. Meanwhile, a sharp contraction was noted in London and no change was signalled in the Midlands.
There were decreases in temporary placements in London and the North, but growth was signalled in the South and in the Midlands. Across the UK
overall, a moderate contraction in temporary placements was registered.
Demand for permanent workers in the North increased slightly during July. However, the pace of increase was the slowest in 21 months and remained below the UK average. Meanwhile, demand for temporary workers rose at a solid pace, extending the current expansionary period to 35 successive months.
The availability of permanent staff in the North increased solidly in July. However, the pace of increase slowed from June. Although above its longrun average, the pace of increase in permanent candidate numbers was below the UK trend.
The availability of candidates for short-term positions in the North of England increased sharply in July. Moreover, the pace of growth was the fastest since February. Across the UK overall, staffing levels also
increased, but at a much slower pace than seen in the North.
Meanwhile, permanent candidate availability fell in the South but expanded in London and the Midlands. There were strong increases in the availability of temporary staff in London and the Midlands, in line
with that seen in the North. In contrast, the South recorded a decline.
Permanent staff salaries rose slightly in the North of England during July. That said, the pace of increase eased from June and was slower than that recorded for the wider UK. Permanent salaries have increased
in each of the past five months.
Temp staff pay rates fell for the third successive month in July. The pace of decline was only slight and broadly in line with that seen for the wider UK. According to respondents, temporary wage rates fell as clients attempted to reduce labour costs.
Permanent salaries increased in all surveyed regions during July, with the slowest inflation recorded in the North. In the UK, permanent salaries increased slightly. Temporary wages fell in London and the
North but rose in the South. The Midlands registered no change in pay rates for short-term staff.
Recruitment and Employment Confederation chief executive Kevin Green says: "The UK's labour market deserves a gold medal for its incredible performance in the face of adversity so far this year. In the last few months, it has defied gravity as unemployment has fallen and jobs grew
even while the economy slipped back into recession.
"But this run might be coming to an end as this month's data shows that nationwide permanent appointments have fallen for a second month and temporary employment has seen an eighth consecutive month of contraction. However, we have always said that we expected to see ups and downs in the employment figures rather than a continued sustained period of jobs growth.
"What must be emphasised, though, is that employers are still hiring. In fact, the number of vacancies has grown, but fragile confidence means they are taking longer to make decisions about appointments and the whole process of recruiting is slowing down. This slow-down is likely to be exacerbated further by thousands of school and university leavers joining the jobs market over the next month.
"On a positive note, there are some sectors that are defying this month's decline and continuing to experience significant demand for staff, most notably engineering, computing and healthcare."
Jonathan Hurst, Chairman of KPMG in the North, comments: "There is no pretending that the second consecutive month of decrease in the rate at which Northern employers are recruiting for permanent roles and the
third in the case of temporary roles is anything but bleak news.
"That said, it's likely that July's negative data is due in part to the traditionally quiet summer period for job hunters, perhaps exaggerated by an 'Olympic effect'. The real story of recovery will probably only start to emerge in the autumn."

Long-term care and IT: Getting ready for the boom
Scott Mingee
Each day an estimated 10,000 people in the U.S. turn 65, and as the senior population increases, so does the need for increased medical care. By age 65, two-thirds of baby boomers have at least one chronic disease and have seen seven physicians.
It's no secret that as baby boomers age and come to depend on coordinated long-term care, providers will be challenged to adapt quickly to meet the needs of a growing population. How does an organization begin to prepare for this anticipated boom? Start with the foundation.
To keep patient care a priority while continuing to grow its business, Harden Healthcare made its IT infrastructure a priority. After assessing the current environment, leaders at Harden turned to Xerox to ensure its health IT systems could grow with the needs of the patients and care givers across the company's continuum of healthcare services – home healthcare, assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, and hospice care. In less than nine months, Harden Healthcare and Xerox worked together to create and implement a solution to support growth opportunities and automation requirements critical to Harden's business success.
By increasing system performance and reliability, the new technology framework keeps Harden Healthcare agile and responsive as it continues to expand services via acquisition to help fill the entire post-acute continuum. The new environment also maintains guaranteed IT uptime for patients and employees, with Xerox managing the data center in a 95 percent virtualized environment. Harden Healthcare depends on proactive monitoring of IT performance and automated alerts that identify and address potential issues.
System uptime is especially important for long-term care providers as these organizations expand the use of advanced technology and Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). When employees don't have paper patient records to fall back on, guaranteed uptime becomes a necessity. By improving and simplifying patient care tools, an IT system that supports increasing industry demands and helps use data to improve patient care overall is critical to taking advantage of the growing number of people who require coordinated long-term services.
Scott Mingee is the group president, Healthcare Provider Solutions, Xerox.

Paycheck Friday: Add some 'Mad Max' flair to your workspace
For this week's installment of Paycheck Friday, Hero Complex's roundup of some of our favorite toys, books and other geek merchandise, we turn to the post-apocalyptic world depicted in "Mad Max."
Now in theaters, "Mad Max: Fury Road" follows Mad Max Rockatansky's (Tom Hardy) quest for survival in a desert wasteland after civilization has collapsed. It is a world where, as director George Miller described to The Times in a previous interview, "all the bad things we see in the news come to pass: all the economic collapse, oil wars and water wars, even stuff we never see coming."
With that in mind, this week's paycheck goes to re-creating a scaled-down version of this post-apocalyptic world to liven up your workspace.
First, to set the appropriate mood, we recommend picking up the "Mad Max: Fury Road" soundtrack.
While the standard version is available now, consider pre-ordering the vinyl offered by Mondo that comes with two interchangeable covers featuring artwork of Max and Immortan Joe by the artist Boneface.
Of course, not all workspaces may be equipped with a record player, but if anything you can put the covers on display.
Actual preparation for apocalyptic scenarios may require assembling intimidating survival kits, but the office supply equivalent would be this set of push pins in the form of medieval weapons from Nuop Design.
Axes and sword handles sticking out of memos posted on your bulletin board offer a nice touch to make sure others understand you really mean business. Especially since not all people work in a place where having an armory of actual toy weapons is appropriate.
Finally, any proper "Mad Max"-inspired workspace requires some sort of model vehicle based on the machines in the films.
While it would be nice to just pick up an official "Mad Max" model car or replica, consider taking on a DIY project to modify a model car to make your own custom toy.
Start with a model that looks similar to the cars featured in the film like this Dodge pickup truck, a Mack truck (we recommend one of the R-models) or even a few Hot Wheels and let inspiration guide you. Start with something simple like painting the cars, and maybe gluing on some parts that look like polearms.
Depending on your familiarity with tools, you can even take apart the car for advanced level modifications (which we can only recommend if you have the skills and take the appropriate safety precautions necessary to undertake the task). After the apocalypse you make due with what you have and what you're able to cobble together, so don't worry if your final product doesn't look exactly like something out of the film.

A Very Warped History: Intro
Chances are if you know your stuff about electronic music, you've seen this logo. It's the watermark of the legendary Warp records (which was originally called Warped Records, changed due to it's difficulty to make out over the phone.)
Founded in 1989 by Steve Beckett and Rob Mitchell, they and their new label set out to change electronic music forever, and they would, later becoming home to acts like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre and Boards Of Canada
The label's first release (Forgemasters' "Track With No Name") was limited to a 500 copy pressing and was distributed in a borrowed car to record shops all over Sheffield. Despite these humble beginnings, Warp's first commercial success would come less than a year later in 1990, with the release of LFO's self titled 12" (with a Purple sleeve by The Designer's Republic) which would rise to number 12 in the UK singles chart. Reports flooded in of club soundsystems blowing out due to the low frequency basslines throughout the track, which only added to it's popularity. This release marked only the beginning of Warp's legacy in the world of Electronic music.
Why am I telling you this you ask? well, a fan requested I do a best of Warp post, but it soon became apparent to me that one post was simply not enough. So over the next few weeks/months/years/so on Myself and fellow new writer Here will be documenting the history of Warp records, and showing you their landmark releases.
but enough talk, enjoy the sounds of LFO's classic, 'cause this is what the next few are going to sound like :)
LFO - LFO (The Leeds Warehouse Mix)
LFO - Track 4
LFO - Probe (The Cuba Edit)
Tune in next time for more classic releases and words,

I always assumed (based on "Freak") that LFO were a consistently dark, evil-sounding band. Thanks for enlightening me.

Associate Professor in North American Cultural Studies, Faculty of Arts
My research focus on Canadian cultural texts and their circulation and celebration examines how the boundaries of 'Canadianness' are constructed and reconstructed according to opportunities for Canada to accrue cultural power. My work consistently returns to hospitality discourse both in its engagement with immigrant and hyphenate Canadian writers who become internationally celebrated and in my interest in the Canada-US border: in both these areas, I am interested in how a 'Canadian host position' is constructed, as well as in the discrepancy between Canada's projection of itself as hospitable and the exclusivity with which 'Canadianness' is often defined. Thus, I often return to concepts of citizenship in my work in my effort to assess Canada's claims to be a just society as they are presented and invoked in its settler-invader postcolonial culture.

My teaching interests lie in the areas of Canadian literature and culture, Canada-US border studies, and film adaptation. I teach in semester 2 on the Level 1 core module, Canadian Literature, Film and Culture (Q41119), which introduces students to Canadian literary and visual culture through discussion of the wilderness paradigm, Quebec nationalism, Indigenous culture, multiculturalism, the Canada-US border, and Canadian popular culture. I also teach a second-year option, North American Film and Television (Q42330), with my colleague Graham Thompson, which focuses on twenty-first century U.S. and Canadian cinema and television, and a third-year option, Contemporary Canadian Literature (Q43342), which examines Canadian literary texts published from 2000 to the present, (MA students can take Contemporary Canadian Literature as an MA variant (Q44342)).
All of my modules seek to combine close examination of cultural texts with consideration of larger cultural contexts of production and consumption. Student participation is a crucial component of my approach to seminar teaching, and contributes to my modules' assessment, alongside written and sometimes verbal assignments.
Please note that I am on sabbatical during the 2017-18 academic year.
My second monograph, Discrepant Parallels: Cultural Implications of the Canada-US Border, has recently been published by McGill-Queen's University Press (2015). The book comprises chapters on travel writing, cross-border policing dramas, First Nations and Native American approaches to the border, African-Canadian perspectives on the border, and Canada's relationship to Latin America.
I acted as Co-Investigator on the Culture and the Canada-US Border International Research Network (PI David Stirrup, Kent), funded by the Leverhulme Trust, and I was the organiser of the network's Cultural Crossings: Production, Consumption, and Reception across the Canada-US Border conference, which took place at Nottingham 20-22 June, 2014. The network's final event, a symposium on Canada-US Border Theory, took place in Paris May 15-16, 2015.
PhD theses by past and present supervisees have focused on cultural representations of Vancouver, literary representations of Toronto, queer theatre in Toronto, Carol Shields's fiction, comparative border studies, and Canadian young adult fiction. I would welcome expressions of interest from potential PhD candidates working in the areas of literary prize culture, film adaptations, Canada-US border studies, and contemporary Canadian literature and cinema.
My PhD focused on Canadian writers Michael Ondaatje and Carol Shields and their relationship to national and international literary prizes, as well as the ways in which international celebration is involved in negotiating the identities of immigrant writers. My first monograph, entitled Prizing Literature: The Celebration and Circulation of National Culture (University of Toronto Press, 2011), extends the PhD material and adds writers Rohinton Mistry and Yann Martel to my discussion. Prizing Literature won the International Council for Canadian Studies' Pierre Savard Award.
Future plans for my research include studies of postcolonial film adaptations, settler-invader literary cosmopolitanism, settler-invader citizenship, and comparative postcolonial border studies.

Pakistan's Prime Minister says the country's economic growth could fall by a full two percentage points because of the flooding disaster, and that would lead to "massive" job losses. He also predicts a grim couple of years for the already fragile state.
Yousuf Raza Gilani, Pakistan's Prime Minister, said, "Pakistan's economy grew by 4.1 percent during the last year and was expected to grow 4.5 percent during the current fiscal year. The damage caused by the floods will bring down the real GDP growth to 2.5 percent for the fiscal year 2011. This economic loss will translate into massive job losses and incomes of thousands of families. Consequently it may have serious social implications."
The floods began over a month ago in northwest Pakistan after extremely heavy monsoon rains, and surged south along the Indus River and its tributaries.
The scale of the disaster has raised concerns about the stability of the country. The army, along with international aid agencies, are struggling to reach the some 8 million people who are still in need of emergency assistance.
The floods have receded in parts of north and central Pakistan but are continuing in the south.
