A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a dismissal of a challenge to President Barack Obama's 2012 executive amnesty, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The case — which was decided in advance of another challenge to Obama's more sweeping November 20, 2014 executive amnesty — involved a lawsuit challenging DACA on the part of a number of immigration enforcement agents and the state of Mississippi, according to a report in Politico.
According to the report, the court found that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue because they did not prove that the program would harm the agents or the state.
"Neither Mississippi nor the Agents have alleged a sufficiently concrete and particularized injury that would give Plaintiffs standing to challenge DACA," Politico quoted the opinion written by Judge W. Eugene Davis and joined by Judges Carolyn King and Priscilla Owen.
The opinion comes as the 5th Circuit is set to consider the Obama administration's appeal of a district court judge's hold on Obama's more sweeping executive actions last year, specifically the expansion of DACA and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA).
U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen placed the injunction on the actions in February to allow the case of 26 states challenging the executive amnesty to work its way through the courts.
Politico pointed out that the way the justice's dealt with Mississippi's challenge could foreshadow the court's consideration of the 26 state's challenge, however the publication noted that the 26 state's injury argument is different from Mississippi's.
"The district court held that Mississippi's alleged fiscal injury was purely speculative because there was no concrete evidence that Mississippi's costs had increased or will increase as a result of DACA. Based on the record before the district court, we agree," Politico quoted Davis. "Mississippi submitted no evidence that any DACA eligible immigrants resided in the state. Nor did Mississippi produce evidence of costs it would incur if some DACA-approved immigrants came to the state."

Preview: Men's basketball, Minnesota going in opposite directions
Who: Minnesota Golden Gophers (14-13, 3-11 Big Ten)
When: Tuesday at 9 p.m.
Where: Williams Arena, Minneapolis
TV / Radio: ESPN2 / 94.9 WMMQ-FM (Lansing)
Line: MSU -10.5
While the Spartans have been trending upwards as of late, the Golden Gophers have done just the opposite.
A win against No. 2 MSU could salvage Minnesota's season, and it would also end a seven-game losing streak.
The Spartans (24-3, 12-2), however, are off to their best start since 2000-01 — when the team also got off to a 24-3 start — and looking to cut Ohio State's lead in the conference standings to a half game.
Sophomore forward Miles Bridges drained a deep 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left Saturday to lead the Spartans past then-No. 3 Purdue at the Breslin Center. The Spartans, who rallied back from a 10-point deficit in the first half, used a 14-5 run in the second half to beat the Boilermakers. Bridges, who was named Big Ten Player of the Week Monday, scored a team-high 20 points in MSU's third win against an AP Top 25 team.
Despite losing 10 of its last 11, Minnesota still has junior forward Jordan Murphy, who leads the team with 17.4 points and averages 11.6 rebounds — the most in the Big Ten.
Murphy is just one of four players for Minnesota who averages double-figure scoring. As a team, Minnesota averages 77.2 points with a +2.7 scoring margin and shoots 43.8 percent from the floor. The Gophers are holding opponents to 43.8 percent shooting from the field.
MSU, led by Bridges — who is one of five players who averages double figures — leads the team averaging 17.8 points. The Spartans average 83.1 points with a +17.9 scoring margin and shoot a conference-best 51.6 percent from the floor. MSU is holding opponents to 36.3 percent from the field.
The Spartans own the all-time series 68-60, but Minnesota is 36-25 in games played at The Barn. MSU coach Tom Izzo is 30-11 all-time against the Golden Gophers, and Minnesota coach Richard Pitino is 2-4 against the Spartans.

Probate and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets are transferred after death. Assets to be transferred under terms of a will go through probate. Assets transferred outside of a will, such as by operation of law, or those planned for in a trust are handled through an Administration process.

We can help make the process easier, more efficient, and provide peace of mind during a difficult time.

Historically speaking, the federal estate tax is an excise tax levied on the transfer of a person's assets after death. In actuality, it is neither a death tax nor an inheritance tax, but more accurately a transfer tax. There are three distinct aspects to federal estate taxes that comprise what is called the Unified Transfer Tax: Estate Taxes, Gift Taxes, and Generation- Skipping Transfer Taxes. Legal planning to avoid or minimize federal estate taxes is both a prudent and an important aspect of comprehensive estate planning.

Is there gold buried in the hills of Tallahassee?
A look at the bottom line of next year`s proposed state budget may make some taxpayers think so.
State spending is expected to jump by nearly $2 billion.
Yes, you read that right.
But what about all the talk of gloom and doom? Why are hundreds of teachers facing layoffs? Why is classroom size growing to 40 students? Why can`t the state afford to hire the guards needed to stem early prison releases?
The answer isn`t easy. It`s wrapped up in Florida`s budget quirks.
The money available for Florida`s government will grow from $27.8 billion to about $29.5 billion for the budget year beginning July 1. But while legislators may longingly eye that money, they can`t use most of it for just any program.
For instance, the state will be able to build plenty of new schools next year. But it won`t be able to hire teachers for them.
Meanwhile, the Transportation Department will be able to hire 131 new workers to build roads.
Part of the reason is that some of the cash comes from the federal government, including a big chunk of transportation dollars. And some of it shows up as an increase in state trust funds -- money raised through certain taxes or fees.
Although the money is there, by law it can be spent only for specific purposes.
The Public Education Capital Outlay program, for example, is expected to bring in $1.2 billion from utility taxes. But the money can be used only to maintain and construct buildings for public schools, community colleges and universities.
Programs financed through general revenue dollars -- such as education, criminal justice and many social services -- won`t be so lucky.

For my recent birthday Tim gave me an amazing present. He collected notes and stories from friends and complied them on a secret blog which he revealed to me on my birthday: http://annettes40again.blogspot.com/ You were on my mind whether you wrote in or not, as i explain below. Thank you for enriching my life!
Years ago I came across a book about Elizabeth Taylor and her jewelry. As I flipped through page after page of photographs of exquisite gemstones in their fabulous settings, I thought about the value and beauty of the people we know: the friends, family, and colleagues, the individuals and communities who pray for and support us economically, the individuals around the world who have opened their lives to us. I pictured them arrayed before me as unique and valuable as Taylor's collection.
This image of our friends as jewels came back to me as I read the notes I received for my birthday. Each note was a reminder of a treasured relationship. Each note made me wish I could sit down over a meal with that person to enjoy the relationship again. The notes also made me remember friendships and expressions of love over the years from people who didn't happened to write in this year.
In March 2011, Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection was valued at $150 million. On my birthday I felt infinitely richer.

FARGO - MOORHEAD (Valley News Live): Mother Nature treated the entire U.S. to quite the show Monday with a total solar eclipse. While the Red River Valley didn't get as dark as some other places, it was still noticeable. And clouds in the sky did not stop hundreds of people from attending events across the FM area.
The universe put on quite the show as the moon slid between Earth and the sun.
"He's telling me don't stare at it, but I'm like it's pretty!" laughed MSUM Student Mason Wede about a friend's advice to not look at the eclipse.
Other placed offered onlookers the chance the watch the events unfold, MSUM hosting two telescopes with special lenses, eclipse glasses and a contraption called the Sunspotter which reflected light onto a piece of white paper.
"It's still definitely really cool to see, especially young, well I mean really any age," said MSUM Student Andrew Baldwin.
Whole families turned out in Dragon country, and back across the river too where the Dr. James Carlson Library played host to another large gathering.
"We had the day off and we wanted to do something fun," smiled Marshall Lennox as he laid on the grass behind the library with his family. "These are my girls here and my little brother, their uncle here and we're just enjoying this rare occasion."
"We are watching the sun and moon change in different ways and we went inside for a little bit to get a cookie," explained Magdalana Lennox.
"Just seeing the sun and the moon's coming and blocking it a little bit and the sun's just halfway gone pretty much," described Katelyn Lennox.
Cookies and eclipse glasses were the flavor of the afternoon at the Library. On the north side of Fargo, students took advantage of their lunch break as large crowds at NDSU were treated to The Dark Side of the Moon in multiple fashions: the eclipse and Pink Floyd blasting out the windows.
"It's supposed to be the darkest at one but yeah it's kind of freaky. My friends invited me to come see the eclipse and I took them up on their offer. We've been here since 11:45," said NDSU Student Megan Sangren.
Megan Sangren says she watched the crowd grow and grow as the sky turned darker.
It may have been a little cloudy, a bit hazy, but folks were not going to miss another Mother Nature spectacular.
Fargo-Moorhead will be treated again to a total solar eclipse in 2099, and this time we'll be in the path of totality where it gets completely dark.

If there's one type of era that I enjoy, it's the medieval times. Not because of the disease, restrictions, prejudice, few opportunities, and lack of technology. No, I like that time because of the marketplace. Yes, the hustling and bustling of merchants trying to sell their wares is for some reason entertaining to me. But frankly, I just never owned any manga like that. Until now.
Spice & Wolf (or, as I like to call it, "Wolf & Spice… actually, pronounced with a German accent, which is "Vulf und Schpice") takes place in such a time. Back when apples were the grandest of delicacies, people make their livelihood from a-workin', and beautiful ancient wolf spirits would ask merchants to take them to their homeland. It's an enjoyable tale with little action, but it still keeps me entertained. I don't know what it is. But it's not the nudity, if that's what you're implying.
Plot: Kraft Lawrence is a young merchant on his way to sell his wares. Surprisingly, a beautiful young woman with wolf ears and tail is in his cart, asking if he has any wine. Then she pleads that she be brought to her homeland, since she's been stuck in a wheat field for centuries. He agrees, cautiously, but she must agree to help out with sales. The wolf spirit (named Holo) goes along with this, and, with her wisdom, helps him with his job. Not much else occurs, but it's still fun.
I didn't expect to enjoy this. The plastic around the volume is always a warning of nudity. But aside from the breast shots and such, I have to concede defeat… this is a pleasant experience. Holo's wits and Lawrence's… well, being a normal human beingness, is a good match made in Manga Heaven. They play off of each other well and don't get into the angsty arguments that so many teenage manga characters have nowadays. I mean, neither of them are teenagers, but that's also a relief.
It's a pretty sincere series. There are a few complaints on my end, like "why do these characters expressions fluctuate so often", but it's unnecessary nit-picking, generally. The art is fresh, the characters are strong, and the plot, while slim, is great and easy to follow. I'd definitely recommend this series to fans of wolves, breasts, medieval times, and manga.
Favorite Character: Holo. Her ancient knowledge and sayings are interesting to read. Sure, she could be goofy sometimes, and that seems out of character for her. But it's nice to read about a wise character who isn't always saying "you must beware of the dangerous shadows that befall you, young hero". Instead, she justifies devouring apples by saying "while one may lose much because of avarice, nothing was ever accomplished by abstinence". Now I feel like I can commit all the evil that I want! Thanks, Holo!
Overall Opinion: Vulf und Schpice is a charming series of medieval proportions. Definitely check it out.
Rating: Two Thumbs Up, Four Stars, and a "B+".

Article Title
In their article "Numerical Patterns and Geometrical Configurations" on pages 82-92 of Mathematics Magazine 57 (1984), Harold Dorwart and Warren Page note that the venerable David Hilbert once remarked "...there was a time when the study of configurations was considered the most important branch of all geometry." "Today," added Dorwart and Page, "...most students have limited knowledge about configurations-except perhaps the Pappus (9,3), the Desargue (10,3), and the Petersen graph (the logo on the cover of the Journal of Graph Theory)."

you could be anemic or vitamin deficient. I'd do lab work for fatigue-they have a test called a fatigue test-and it really goes into the aspects that create fatigue. If something is causing fatigue, this test will show it. I've gone into doctors and tell them-- check this out-if I have this you can treat me and we both win. If the tests show that I don't have it-I'll shut up and get out of your face. One doctor said OK-and I was right- not only was I right- I was really right- but there have been times that the doctor was right and I had to shut up--but you know what? the doctor got busy and found out what was wrong.
Good luck--we all need some By the way- have you had your thyroid tested--- fatigue and depression are symptoms of thyroid problems. Why don't you stop self-diagnosing CFS-and ask for a thyroid screen- and find out if you're anemic? If it's not thyroid, that will be excluded--- It is the most common under diagnosed disease in America-possibly the world

Q: How much should it cost, approximately, to clean a leather couch that has moderate wear and soiling?
Jane M., Providence, Rhode Island
A: With proper care, a leather sofa can last for years — or even decades — but to keep it looking its best, you'll want to make sure it's free of dirt and stains.
If staining is minimal, you can clean your sofa or leather sectional with just a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. You can make a cleaner by adding a few drops of moisturizing soap to a damp washcloth. Gently wipe off the cleaner and rinse with another damp washcloth. Buff with a dry washcloth.
Avoid overcleaning your leather couch or using cleaners that could dry or damage the leather or finish. If you're not sure what kind of cleaner to use, it's best to call your leather dealer before experimenting.
If the sofa is heavily soiled or has stubborn stains such as ink or wine, it's best to call in a leather furniture refinishing and repair expert. Many companies will come directly to you and do cleaning and repairs on site.
A professional cleaning for a full-size leather sofa will typically cost between $195 and $475, depending on the size of the sofa and the type of leather.
With a cost of $1,500 to $4,000, a leather sofa is an investment, so you'll want yours to last for years to come.
Extending the life of your leather couch begins in the showroom, where you should choose the right type of leather for the room and your lifestyle.
Once you get your sofa home, be careful where you put it. Frequent exposure to direct sunlight and heat can cause your couch to fade quickly or become dry and brittle.

It's a depressing thing to re-post this hymn because it means that another part of the world is experiencing disaster, homelessness, hunger, the need for international help.
It was first written for the Boxing Day tsunami in December 2004 but has re-appeared on a number of occasions.
This time it's for those planning worship with a partial focus on the Philippines.
When innocence is fractured
by nature's shifting force,
and paradise is ruptured
as life is swept off course.
We come to pray our questions,
we come to share our grief;
in this, our act of worship,
to say that we believe.
As headlines overwhelm us
and make us close our minds;
as news from distant islands
brings death before our eyes.
We seek a hope to cling to,
a refuge to embrace;
lest in the grip of knowing
we lose our hold on grace.
How dare we speak of heaven
made human for our sakes,
or preach a loving Father
when seas and mountains quake?
We dare because our story
speaks of a love that came
to bear the cost of dying
and still would do the same.
In Christ our souls take refuge,
though not to hide from truth:
we face each anguished question
with faith, if not with proof.
We hear his wistful question:
"And will you leave me too?"
Though all the world should crumble,
We hope, O Christ, in you.
Recommended tune: Aurelia

While my wife was sewing curtains for our front room I decided to play around with the Fuji HR-T X-Ray film and some flowers. This green-sensitive film renders the color green much lighter than we would see it and gives plant life a rather odd look. I was curious to see what type of effect it might have on a vase of flowers. One of the wonderful things about view cameras is that you can focus very close up and make photographs that are even larger than life size. If your camera has the extension rails to extend the bellows all the way out, you can do amazing macro shots. The Eastman View Camera No 2D has a detachable rear extension rail that gives you 30 inches of bellows extension. When I found my camera I made sure that the extension rail was included. It's not necessary for everyday shots, but if you want lifesize or larger then you need the rear rail.
8x10 Eastman View Camera No 2D Almost Completely Racked Out
Fair warning: what follows is probably either overly technical if you are not interested in how a view camera functions OR not precise enough for those photographers who have to have everything perfectly measured and exactly so… But if you are interested and not wedded to a slide rule then read on.
There are compromises (three of them, really) when you extend the bellows this far out. First, the depth of field is incredibly shallow at full or near full extension. My Schneider 300mm f5.6 lens at f5.6 gives less than an 1/8 of an inch of focus. At f8, f11, and f16 you may get a 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch. To shoot a vase full of flowers you need at least a couple of inches of depth of field. And for that you would need to shoot at f48 or f64. I shot this at f64.
Ranunculus Flowers, 8x10 Fuji HR-T X-Ray Film If you click on the image you will see a much larger version.
I lit the vase from the side with my Westcott TD6 Spiderlite (1200W) through a medium-sized softbox. This gave me an EV value of 7.5, which at f64 called for a 30 second exposure. But then you also have to consider the second compromise. You've racked your bellows out to 28 inches and this means less light will hit the surface of the film - i.e. bellows compensation factor. To figure your bellows compensation factor there are a few mathematical equations you can use. I've studied all of them, and understand the concept, but I simplify it as follows: I have a 12" lens. If I double the length of the bellows from the normal 12 inches to 24 inches I add an additional stop or so of exposure. Extended fully to 30 inches I add a stop and a half. This is close enough for me. It might not be for others, but it's what I use. At this point, I've almost arrived at a correct exposure.
Photographic film also has this weird property called reciprocity failure that means that the film actually needs more exposure when you expose it for an extended period of time. Films differ on how well they handle reciprocity. My favorite B&W film for long exposures, Fuji Neopan Acros, doesn't require any adjustments for exposures up to 2 minutes. That's fantastic and it makes things much easier. Other films need more exposure time if your shutter stays open for longer than a few seconds. For example, if I was shooting Kodak Tri-X film, I would have exposed the film for a full 5 minutes to get a true 1 minute and 30 seconds exposure. Since I was shooting X-Ray film and no one really has published a reliable table of its reciprocity characteristics, I just went by my own experience. My experience has shown me that Fuji HR-T X-Ray film needs a little bit of added exposure, but not nearly as much as traditional films. I gave this shot an extra 30 seconds.
And just for the fun of it, I focused this next shot with the bellows stretched completely out to 30 inches. I shot it at f64 for a full three minutes.
I tray developed the Fuji HR-T X-Ray film in Rodinal 1:100 for six minutes. I used normal trays and lined the bottoms with glass. My only remaining flaw in X-ray film development is that I'm using 8x10 trays (because I happen to have a few pieces of glass cut to 8x10 for contact printing.) Even with very minimal agitation (rock all four sides of the tray every 30 seconds) I still get surge artifacts on the edges of the negative. This makes the edges of the negative darker (lighter once scanned or printed). My next step is to get 11x14 pieces of glass to line the bottoms of my 11x14 trays. This will give me a more even development across the entire negative.

Obama in Asia: Setting a newly cooperative tone
November 15, 2009
By JENNIFER LOVEN (AP)
The Associated Press
November 13 2009
TOKYO -- President Barack Obama is emphasizing
cooperation on his first major trip to Asia,
opening with a warning to North Korea that there
will be tough, unified action by the U.S. and its
Asian partners if the Koreans fail to abandon their nuclear weapons programs.
The hard line on North Korea was to be a
prominent theme of a Friday night speech that
also was intended to more broadly showcase a
United States that, under Obama's leadership,
seeks deeper and more equal engagement in Asia.
It was to be the fifth major foreign address of
Obama's 10-month presidency, this one geared
toward setting a new tone for the sometimes-rocky
U.S. relationship with the world's fastest-growing region.
In the speech, to 1,500 prominent Japanese in a
soaring concert hall in bustling downtown Tokyo,
Obama planned to give his most extended remarks
in some time on North Korea, said Ben Rhodes, a
deputy national security adviser.
Previewing himself, Obama said after a meeting
early Friday with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio
Hatoyama that "it's absolutely vital" that North
Korea and Iran in the Middle East bow to
international demands that they give up nuclear
weapons ambitions. The U.S., Japan, China, Russia
and South Korea are partners in talks to persuade
North Korea to give up the active nuclear weapons
program it has in defiance of U.N. Security
Council resolutions. Pyongyang is widely believed
to have enough weapons-grade plutonium for a half-dozen nuclear bombs
If the North Koreans comply with the demands,
"then they can open the door to a better future,"
Obama said. "If not, we will remain united in
implementing U.N. resolutions that are in place
and ... helping to shape a strategy that meets
our security needs and convinces Pyongyang to move in a better direction."
Obama made Tokyo the venue for his speech, a
symbolically important choice that displayed
respect for Japan's long history as the U.S.'
chief ally in Asia and one of the region's
foremost democracies. The U.S.-Japan relationship
is on newly delicate footing after a change in
leadership in Tokyo that has the Japanese moving
toward greater independence from Washington and
closer ties with the rest of Asia.
The president's remarks came near the start of an
eight-day Asian trip that is presenting him with risks at every stop.
After Japan, Obama goes to Singapore, where he is
to join a larger meeting that includes the leader
of Myanmar's brutal regime, the first U.S.
president to make such close contact. Then he
flies to China, where relations with the U.S. are
bedeviled by Beijing's growing economic and
military might, as well as numerous issues
including trade, currency, Taiwan, human rights
and climate change. Obama ends his trip on an
easier note in South Korea, an increasingly reliable U.S. ally.
Acknowledging Asia's growing power, Obama aides
said the chief aim for the trip wasn't so much to
bring home specific "deliverables" but to
convincingly press the point that the U.S. very much is in the Asian game.
At Hatoyama's side, Obama promised that
Washington would work hard to strengthen
established alliances, such as with Japan and
South Korea, build on newer ones with nations
like China and Indonesia, and increase its
participation with Asian multilateral
organizations. The involvement, the president
said, is crucial to the issues "that matter most
to our people," such as jobs, a cleaner
environment and preventing dangerous weapons proliferation.
"I intend to make clear that the United States is
a Pacific nation, and we will be deepening our
engagement in this part of the world," the
president said. "We have to understand that the
future of the United States and Asia is inextricably linked."
America's relationships with Tokyo and Beijing
were warranting special attention in Obama's
remarks. Hoping to balance the need to stress
values such as human rights with worries about
overly irritating China, Obama planned to mention
"our commitment to the rights and freedoms that
we believe all people should have" without
bringing up Tibet, said adviser Rhodes.
Tibetans, governed by China since communist
troops took control there in 1951, say they want
some form of autonomy to freely practice their
culture and religion. China says Tibet has been
part of its territory for four centuries. Obama
has been criticized in some quarters for not
standing up more openly to the Chinese on human
rights, particularly concerning Tibet.
Several developments served to detract somewhat
from Obama's hopes for a more purely Asia-centric message for his trip.
He delayed his arrival by a day because of last
week's Fort Hood shootings, scrambling his Japan
itinerary and drastically cutting his
participation in a 21-nation summit of
Asian-Pacific leaders in Singapore focused on
trade. He also continued deliberations over how
many more U.S. troops to send to Afghanistan, a
decision that once was assumed would be behind
him during his Asia travels but now is draining
some of his time and considerable media attention.
Obama denied during the Hatoyama news conference
that his administration has dithered dangerously
over Afghanistan, saying he is bent on "getting
this right" and finding a new start to the
8-year-war that is not an "open-ended commitment."

It is twenty years ago this week that Gary Peters was given the Preston North End manager's job, an appointment which kicked off a successful era at Deepdale.
On December 2, 1994, John Beck was shown the door five days short of his second anniversary in the Lilywhites hotseat.
Peters, who had been Beck's assistant at Cambridge and then North End, stepped up immediately to become boss.
There was no 'sack now, think later' tactics from the PNE board – Peters someone they had identified as having the ability to move things on after Beck's eventful reign.
Fans wondered whether the No.2 becoming the No.1 was a clean enough break in the management chain.
History proved it was, Peters going on to guide Preston to the play-offs that season and then to Third Division title glory the following campaign.
In the few weeks leading up to Beck's exit, Peters had been a big figure behind the scenes as Beck took something of a back-seat role as he reflected on a tough spell in charge.
During September and October of 1994, PNE had lost seven successive league games under Beck, a run which piled on the pressure.
Wins over Mansfield, Blackpool in the FA Cup and Northampton steadied the ship, although Peters had been the unofficial driving force behind them.
The end for Beck – and the beginning for Peters – came on a Friday morning, the eve of an FA Cup tie with Walsall.
While acknowledging how he and Beck had worked well as a team at Cambridge and Preston, Peters quickly declared, 'I'm not John Beck's twin brother'.
As he prepared for his first training session in charge, Peters said: "We will be playing a lot more football from now on.
"I think it is time we went our separate ways and I showed what I can do.
"John and me are two completely different blokes with different ideas on how the game should be played.
"I have learned a lot from John and I will always regard him as a good friend.
"But I'm not his twin brother, regardless of how people want to tar us with the same brush."
Peters saw his first game end in a 1-1 draw, Allan Smart netting Preston's goal against Walsall at Deepdale.
Although they were soundly beaten 4-0 in the replay, in the league they won four matches on the bounce.
Their form over the second half of the season was strong, Peters signing a young David Beckham on loan for a month.
They ran out of steam in the play-offs, losing both semi-final legs 1-0 to Bury.
However, the next season PNE swept their way in style to the Third Division title.
Under Peters in his trademark red jersey, North End consolidated in the Second Division in 1996/97, then in January 1998 he stepped aside for his No.2 David Moyes to take the reins.
He had a spell in charge of the club's centre of excellence and returned to management at Exeter City towards the end of the 2002/03 season.
The Grecians lost only three of their 13 games under Peters but that could not save them from relegation.
Peters, now 60, had three-and-a-half years in charge of Shrewsbury and remains in the game as a scout.

The Little Red Schoolhouse has played an important role in Baldwin County's history and will soon be moved to a new location to make it more accessible to the public. The schoolhouse, built in 1920 in Bromley, currently sits behind the Baldwin County Board of Education office in Bay Minette. On March 13th, 2017, it will begin its move to Bicentennial Park in Stockton to sit among other historic buildings.
The building served as a school and classroom for many years before it was moved to the school board location for use as a museum.
Baldwin County's Department of Archives & History is conducting the relocation to afford it a more suitable setting conducive for public tours and field trips. The schoolhouse will join the historic Montpelier Methodist Church, General Store, and a Blacksmith Shop that are already located at Bicentennial Park.
The move will be a two-day process and the county is asking for everyone's patience as the structure is relocated to its new home. For more details about the building, or the move, call the Department of Archives and History at 251.580.2572.

HCM CITY (VNS)— When Tran Manh Tuan says "music has given me everything", he means it both literally and figuratively.
"Music gave me a chance to shake hands with US President Bill Clinton, win a joint Grammy Award and bring Trinh Cong Son's music to people.
"It is music that took me to 40 countries, brought me a nice house, a good car and a happy family.
So, despite several "disasters" that befallen to "test my love for life, I feel I am lucky because I have music."
Tuan will be the star of the show today, September 7, at the landmark event called Dau An (Milestone) launched by the Thanh Nien Media Corporation and Viet Nam Television.
The show, which will feature live performances by the nation's leading artists at the Nguyen Du Sports Stadium on the first Saturday of every month, has received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike after it debuted last month with famous singer Thu Minh.
Easily Viet Nam's most famous and accomplished saxophone artist, Tuan's artistry has enthralled both jazz lovers and fans of contemporary Vietnamese music.
He is a lecturer at the Ha Noi Arts College, the HCM City Conservatory of Music and the Military University of Culture and Arts.
Somewhat aptly, given the event's name, the upcoming concert will mark a milestone in Tuan music and his career with several unique items including his original compositions being performed for the first time.
Accompanying Tuan on the stage will be the Saigon Bigband and three famous singers –jazz queen Tuyet Loan, Tung Duong and diva Thanh Lam.
It will be the first time that Tung Duong and Tuan perform together.
Fated to live
Born in 1972, Tuan came into contact with music very early because his parents and sister were cai luong (renovated opera) artists.
Just a year after he got his first sax at the age of eight, Tuan had become proficient enough to given responsibility for playing the "modern" parts of the music performed by the troupe. He went everywhere with the troupe and his parents, performing for a living.
Tuan started to put in solo performances when he was 11. At 13, he played for the Viet Nam Administration of Tourism at luxury establishments for international audiences.
Also at 13, he began to have eye pains.
"The doctor diagnosed that I had normal blepharitis, but three days later, I lost sight in one eye. The doctor had to inject me with a strong medicine to save the other eye.
At that time, I thought my life had ended. I played the saxophone like crazy, and music saved my life."
After many successes in his career, Tuan is now known beyond Viet Nam's borders. He has performed with world-famous artists like Herbie Hancook, Wayne Shorter, Derek Nash, Lillian Boutte, Charlie Bisharat, Unit Asia, and performed at several jazz festivals in Europe, Asia and America.
But just when his career was at its top, another disaster struck. He found out that he had nephritis when he was performing in Germany.
"Five surgeries, living with one eye and two spoilt kidneys, music saved me again.
"The saxophone was by my side during the three months in hospital. When I could not play, I listened to music. Music helped me and patients around me to be optimistic." Tuan said.
After his recovery, Tuan has started spending more of his free time at pagodas. He has not only performed at pagodas, he has brought the sound of the pagoda bell into his jazz music.
Tuan said he considers each second the last second of his life.
When he plays now, it is the sound of life that he seeks to breathe into the heart of the music lover. — VNS

Author: Cecilia Bågenvik (DeLaval) - October 19, 2017
Measuring Body Condition Score (BCS) has traditionally been done manually by feed advisors, veterinarians or the farmers themselves monthly or a few times per lactation. By using an automatic system for BCS, data is provided every day which opens up new possibilities for improved feeding management. Keeping cows in optimal BCS during the lactation as well as the dry period, improves both milk production, overall health status and reproduction.
Monitoring BCS during different parts of lactation.
The DeLaval BCS system provides a score every time a cow walks out of the milking robot or through a sort gate. To translate the score provided by the system into real activities in the farm, such as a change in feed ration, or check for metabolic disorders, the system is also providing the farmer with the possibility to use a number of Standard Operating Procedures, SOPs. The SOPs ensures that no cow is missed and that for each specific trend or alarm, the instruction for the staff on the farm is very clear and concise.
4D4F visited two farms in the south of Sweden that are using the BCS SOPs in their daily work. In the farm Bruatorp, Britt Johansson is working with four different SOPs for BCS. One for early lactation cows, one for cows approaching dry off and two SOPs for slaughter planning. "If cows in early lactation are in risk of developing ketosis, then the action in the SOP is to do a BHB test, and to give additional energy feed", Britt explains. "Based on the BHB test result, there are different actions in the SOP". Britt is checking the BCS alarm list and feed rations every day to optimize the performance and feed efficiency of the herd.
Britt Johansson is showing how the SOP is built in DelPro Farm Manager.
Kerstin Persson and Göran Berg in Arbelunda, explains how they let the SOP filter out cows that need some additional feed, and how they can use the BCS for slaughter planning. "It is easy to miss cows that there are no obvious issues with", Kerstin explains. "With the camera, no cow is missed".
Göran is using the system to plan the feeding. He has noticed that the camera often can confirm a feeling that he has, especially if there has been an unintended change in the feed ration, which has not been noticed, that affects the whole herd. "The more we trust the results from the system, the more we use it", Göran says.

DALLAS – Denver is launching a $3.9 billion capital improvement program for its 22-year-old airport by issuing nearly $200 million of debt for its private partner next week.
Before that, it will issue $274 million of refunding bonds for Denver International Airport.
The five-year capital project is designed to accommodate continued growth and will include $1.8 billion of gate additions on all concourses and $1.1 billion of improvements to the security and concession areas within its main Jeppesen Terminal.
A total of about $3.9 billion of new money debt is expected to be issued to fund the capital plan and to provide reserves.
The city plans to price the refunding bonds Wednesday through a syndicate led by co-senior managers Raymond James and U.S. Bancorp. The deal includes $253 million of Series A bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax and $21 million of series B that are non-AMT bonds. The new bonds are refunding debt issued in 2007.
The $200 million on next week's calendar will be issued for Great Hall Partners, a coalition of developers led by led by Spain's Ferrovial Aeropuertos with Saunders Concessions and Magic Johnson Enterprises/Loop Capital. The tax-exempt bonds are subject to the alternative minimum tax. The Wisconsin-based Public Finance Authority is conduit issuer.
Citi is book runner on the P3 bonds, led by Neal Atterman, director of municipal securities division.
The Great Hall Project represents Ferrovial's first U.S. airport project. The Spanish company has invested in 33 airport projects around the world since 1998. The company's subsidiary Cintra has worked on the airport projects and has several toll highway projects in the U.S.
Denver International Airport chief executive Kim Day said remodeling of the 22-year-old terminal is an important step in improving efficiency and keeping up with passenger growth. Passengers often experience the security checkpoint as a chokepoint.
"Although DEN remains the country's youngest commercial airport, no one could have predicted how security and technology would fundamentally change the aviation industry and passenger processing over the last two decades," Day said. "By investing in this project, we will prepare DEN for the future: enhancing security, increasing capacity, updating aging systems and elevating the overall passenger experience."
The P3 is structured as a "hybrid" P3 with Great Hall Partners receiving revenues from the improved retail offerings and from on-going availability payments by the airport.
The airport will also fund construction progress payments throughout the four-year construction period from a combination of bond issuances and airport generated revenue.
"While the P3 provides for significant risk mitigation for the airport by providing for a fixed-price, date certain delivery method, the airport will retain some portion of construction risk that is typical for P3 agreements," according to Moody's Investors Service, which does not rate the GHP bonds but rates DIA's refunding bonds A1 with a stable outlook.
"We think that airport has demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the risk it retains and has evaluated how it will fund any cost exposures and therefore view the P3 to be slightly credit positive due to the construction risk transfer of the complex project," Moody's analysts added.
Although the bonds for Great Hall Partners are tax-exempt, the preliminary official statement warns of Congress' plan to produce a complete rewrite of the 1986 tax code by Christmas. While the House narrowly passed its tax bill, the Senate is still deliberating with a goal of having the bill signed into law by Christmas. At risk is the tax-exemption for qualified private activity bonds such as those used for airport projects.
"Each bill includes provisions that would directly and indirectly adversely affect the ability of issuers to issue tax-exempt bonds and could indirectly adversely affect the market price or marketability of the Series 2017 Bonds," the POS says. "Neither bill as proposed affects the excludability from gross income of interest on the Series 2017 Bonds if they are issued, as expected, prior to Jan. 1, 2018."
Fitch Ratings said it expects to rate the Great Hall bonds BBB, while the issuer expects a rating of BBB-minus from S&P Global Ratings.
The largest portion of the remodeling plan includes $1.8 billion of spending to expand gate capacity on all three DIA concourses.
Concourse A, which serves Frontier and other airlines, including international airlines, will grow to 44 gates from 32 gates. Concourse B, which primarily serves United, will grow to 65 gates from 54 gates.
Concourse C, which primarily serves Southwest, will grow to 44 gates from 28 gates.
"The gate expansion projects will extend existing concourses into near greenfield areas, which should minimize operational risks and limit construction risk from modifying existing facilities," Moody's said. "The city has entered into contracts with four experienced contractors and the current estimates reflect contractor input into program pricing. The contracts contain fixed price provisions and also include liquidated damages for late completion."
Denver International was the nation's sixth-busiest U.S. airport in 2016, officials said.
In a general comment on the airport sector, Moody's said it expects to see continued growth in the industry, with particularly strong increases in small to medium-sized hubs such as Colorado Springs.
"The current expectation for enplanement growth is well above the positive outlook threshold," analysts said. "However, if airlines grow seat capacity at the low end of our estimate, which they could do to maintain pricing power and keep unit revenue strong, or if GDP growth fails to meet our expectation, enplanements will grow at a level below our positive threshold of 3%."

Nature hates monopolies and exceptions. ... The varieties of condition tend to equalize themselves. There is always some leveling circumstance that puts down the overbearing, the strong, the rich, the fortunate, substantially on the same ground with all others. ... This law writes the laws of cities and nations. It will not be balked of its end in the smallest iota. It is in vain to build or plot or combine against it. Things refuse to be mismanaged long. Though no checks to a new evil appear [at first], the checks exist and will appear. If the government is cruel, the governor's life is not safe. If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing. If you make the criminal code sanguinary, juries will not convict. Nothing arbitrary, nothing artificial can endure. The true life and satisfactions of man seem to elude the utmost rigors or felicities of condition, and to establish themselves with great indifferency under all varieties of circumstances. Under all governments the influence of character remains the same; in Turkey and in New England about alike.I'm glad I didn't read the whole essay earlier. The process of "reinventing" has led me through some productive chains of thought. If I'd known the end result was already there, I wouldn't have done the thinking. Oops, or meta-oops. Emerson already said what I just now said...
For the real price of labor is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs can be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely knowledge and virtue, cannot be stolen.On the Grand Blueprint:
The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The microscope cannot find the animalcule which is less perfect for being little. Eyes, ears, taste, smell, motion, resistance, appetite, and organs of reproduction that take hold on eternity -- all find room to consist in the smallest creature. So do we put all our life into every act. The true doctrine of omnipresence is, that God reappears with all his parts in every moss and cobweb. The value of the universe contrives to throw itself into every point. If the good is there, so is the evil; if the affinity, so the repulsion; if the force, so the limitation.Bear in mind that this was written before Darwin was published. Darwin's followers led science astray from this basic truth for 150 years, and most parts of science are still lost, still ferociously slaughtering the truth. Appropriately, the return to truth is led by microscopists who finally removed their Random Variation blinders when examining the WHOLE genome. They are finding exactly what Emerson said they would find. LIFE IS PURPOSE. All functions are available to every living thing, though some are not implemented. Plants have eyes, ears, taste, smell, motion, and resistance. On bullies and support groups, which I've been jabbering about lately:
As no man had a point of pride that was not injurious to him, so no man had a defect which was not somewhere made useful to him. ... Every man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults. As no man thoroughly understands a truth until he has first contended against it, so no man has a thorough acquaintance with the hindrances and talents of men until he has suffered from the one and seen the triumph of the other over his own want of the same. Has he a defect of temper that unfits him to live in society? Thereby he is driven to entertain himself alone, and acquire habits of self-help; and thus like the wounded oyster he mends his shell with pearl.It's all there. I've been writing glosses and annotations on the original text without reading the original text. ... Which in itself proves Emerson's point yet again, doesn't it? Aaaarrrgggh! = = = = = ** Footnote: I should call it a prebuke instead of a rebuke. No politician in Emerson's time was crazy enough to invade other countries because their governments didn't fit his personal Procrustean Bed of "Democracy". When George Washington advised later presidents to MIND OUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS, he wasn't arguing against this craziness, which didn't exist. He was only opposing the sane but unwise idea that we should spend lives and money to defend "allies". 80 years later, Wilson implemented the Democracy shit and firmly demonstrated its looniness. He invaded Europe for Democracy and gave us Hitler. Most Americans learned the lesson. Schwellenbach was representing most Americans in 1938 when he used Emerson to make the point. Later thought: By defending 'democracy', Schwellenbach seems to have missed Emerson's main point. Emerson wouldn't have defended 'democracy' or 'dictatorship' as systems or ideologies. He said that conditions in any system are ultimately controlled by Nature and by the innate and cultural demands of local people. When ideologies attempt to reshape these forces, they fail. Schwellenbach understood the latter point for sure; he may have been using 'democracy' as a code for 'decent government' to aid understanding. Can't read his mind at this late date!

Polistra was named after the original townsite of Manhattan (the one in Kansas). When I was growing up in Manhattan, I spent a lot of time exploring by foot, bike, and car. I discovered the ruins of an old mill along Wildcat Creek, and decided (inaccurately) that it was the remains of the original site of Polistra. Accurate or not, I've always liked the name, with its echoes of Poland (an under-appreciated friend of freedom) and stars. ==== The title icon is explained here. ==== Switchover: This 2007 entry marks a sharp change in worldview from neocon to pure populist. ===== The long illustrated story of Polistra's Dream is a time-travel fable, attempting to answer the dangerous revision of New Deal history propagated by Amity Shlaes.

Breast Reduction Beverly Hills, or Reduction Mammoplasty, is the surgical procedure to reduce breast size and weight through the removal of excess breast tissue, fat and skin. The plastic surgeon not only makes the breasts more proportionate to a woman's figure, but also lifts them.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 114,250 Breast Reduction Beverly Hills surgeries were performed in 2005 on women who had excessively large breasts, a condition also known as Macromastia, Mammary Hypertrophy and Mammary Gigantism. Some girls develop breast overdevelopment (Mammary Hypertrophy) during puberty, while some women develop very large breasts (Gigantomastia) during pregnancy.
All of these women chose the option of Breast Reduction Beverly Hills because it was the only way to correct the physical and emotional issues that are caused by excess breast weight. Reasons for undergoing Reduction Mammoplasty include:
Chronic Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain:
A woman with size "F" cup breasts is carrying approximately six pounds more than a woman with a "D" cup. This additional weight is sustained by the neck, back and shoulders, causing chronic pain in these areas. Many women find relief only through strong narcotics and muscle relaxants, leading to physical addiction, and emotional trauma. As such, Mammary Hypertrophy is a physical disability.
Disproportionate Breasts:
Some women develop breasts that are disproportionate to their overall size, such as a petite woman with "D" cup breasts, who would be very "top heavy" and have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly.
Inability to Exercise:
For many women with Mammary Hypertrophy, the mere weight of their breasts makes it impossible to maintain any kind of exercise routine.
Skin Rashes and Chronic Skin Infection:
Excessive Sweating in the folds beneath large and pendulous breasts results in chronic dermatitis (skin irritation) and even fungal and bacterial skin infections in the inframammary fold. Furthermore, the wires in most support bras further irritate this area, resulting in long-term disintegration of the skin, and agonizing pain.
Breast "Ptosis" or Sagging:
Often, women with large breasts have a pendulous breast shape, with nipples and areolas (the colored areas around the nipple) that point downward. Their heavy breasts sag so that they must always wear a bra, and cannot wear revealing clothes.
Painful Shoulder Grooves from Heavy Bra Straps:
Painful and uncomfortable indentations result from the need to wear full support bras with tight straps, even to sleep.
Breast Asymmetry:
Breasts with significant "unevenness" make women feel "lopsided" and make finding clothing difficult.
Many women with excessively large breasts have difficulty breathing during sleep, and often resort to sleeping upright while wearing their bras to bed.
Emotional Trauma:
For many women, the discomfort and self-consciousness from excessive breast size becomes a problem that overshadows all other areas of their life – work, friendship and romance.
Some health plans cover Breast Reduction Beverly Hills for chronic medical conditions, taking into consideration factors such as the amount of breast tissue to be removed, and how severe the medical, rather than cosmetic, problems are.
During the most common Breast Reduction surgery, the plastic surgeon makes an "anchor-shaped" incision the circles the areola, through a total of three incisions. One incision is made around the areola – the colored area around the nipple. A second incision is made vertically from the bottom of the areola to beneath the breast crease. A third incision curves in the under-breast (Inframammary) fold. The plastic surgeon then removes excess tissue, fat and skin, shifting the nipple and the areola into their new higher position. The plastic surgeon then brings the skin from both sides of the breast down around the areola, shaping the new contour of the breast. Skin that was above the nipple is lowered to the breast crease, allowing the surgeon to bring skin together and to reshape the breast.
Often, Breast Reduction Beverly Hills is performed simultaneously with a Breast Lift or "Mastopexy," because the excess fat and glandular tissue that made breasts large and heavy lead to sagging that can only be corrected by a lifting procedure. Men who develop excessively large breasts, or "woman-like" breasts – a condition known as Gynecomastia – can also undergo Breast Reduction Beverly Hills.
Breast Reduction Beverly Hills is a very technically challenging procedure that should be performed only by a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who is highly experienced in performing it.
In the following sections Dr. Younai reviews your treatment options for Breast Reduction, including pros and cons of each procedure, potential risks and complications, recovery course, pre and post operative instructions, and esthetic outcomes. There are also many before-and-after pictures and high resolution images of Reduction Mammoplasty available in our photo gallery.
Dr. Younai is a board certified los angeles plastic surgeon who receives patients at the California Center for Plastic Surgery from the Northern as well as the Southern California region. Some of these cities include Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia, Palmdale, Fresno, and Oxnard.

A Yorkshire-based beef farmer has saved more than £40,000 in energy bills since installing a unique solar system to power his farm.
With the assistance of, Leeds-based off-grid energy solutions firm, Xerogrid, farmer, David Brown has reduced his energy bills by 80% and will no longer owe monthly costs to the grid.
David Brown, approached Xerogrid after having been quoted £68,000 to have his farm buildings, office and new build house connected to the national electricity grid. Xerogrid has now installed an Outback Power 6KW inverter / charger system, solar power and batteries which is backed up by his unique tractor driven generator.
Based just eight miles from the centre of York, and despite support from the National Farmers Union to understand the demands of the National Grid, David's original quote was only if he dug the 700-meter trench himself from the sub-station.
Similarly, Xerogrid has fitted farmer John Drake, based in Liskeard, Cornwall, with a hybrid, wind and solar, off-grid energy system which has offered a six year return on investment against diesel fuel.
The system also allows for advanced monitoring and data collection to reveal the farmer's power usage over the course of a year. Data is currently showing a 70% reduction in generator use, which automatically starts when his system batteries are low, and shuts off again when they are fully charged back up.
John Drake comments:
"I am absolutely thrilled to have found a solution that works efficiently for my farm and to have made such significant energy savings is fantastic. Xerogrid were extremely helpful throughout the whole process of installation and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only am I saving a lot of fuel, but there's less maintenance, and considerably less noise."
Ian Emberton, founder and managing director of Xerogrid adds:
"We're passionate about giving power to the people and connecting people off-grid to create their own electricity. To have helped both John and David to make solar energy savings is extremely rewarding for us and we hope to be able to help more farmers achieve these results in the future."
Xerogrid is a Leeds-based firm specialising in off-grid solutions across the UK and Spain, and even boasts the largest privately-owned off-grid solar installation in Ghana.
Xerogrid is supported by the largest free business accelerator programme, Entrepreneurial Spark, in Leeds where founder, Ian Emberton, has won a £3000 award for the fast-growth of his business.
Ian is a finalist for the Great British Entrepreneur awards , supported by NatWest Business banking.

The Metamorphoses of Lucretia
Three Eighteenth-Century Reinterpretations of the Myth: Carlo Goldoni, Samuel Richardson and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Anna Livia Frassetto
The virtuous Roman matron Lucretia killed herself in 509 b. C. Her death is considered the cause of the Roman revolt against the Tarquins and the mainspring of the passage from the monarchic to the republican age. It is a myth about private and public dimensions: it tells about woman and revolution. Its themes, permanent features and variations are infinite. The metamorphoses of Lucretia are innumerable. Nonetheless, she has always preserved her essence and profound meaning, thus confirming her strength and her being a true myth. Lucretia has crossed the centuries, she has been told, painted and sung by artists from 509 b. C. until today. She reached the Eighteenth Century, Italy, Great Britain and Germany and she met three great authors: Carlo Goldoni, Samuel Richardson and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. They chose her and decided to tell her story, each in his own peculiar manner. Goldoni wrote a dramma giocoso in musica, Lugrezia Romana in Costantinopoli, Richardson a novel, Clarissa or the History of a Young Lady and Lessing a bürgerliches Trauerspiel entitled Emilia Galotti. One myth, three authors, three different literary genres: this work would like to investigate and verify the connection among them and the meaning of it. The comparative analysis of the metamorphoses of Lucretia will disclose new concepts of private and public, of woman and revolution, sprung from an old but perpetual reviving myth.

After a year's successful run, IHOP introduces on its menu five Filipino breakfast favorites and this will be available throughout the day in all of IHOP's branches here in Metro Manila (BGC, UP Town Center and SM MOA).
The new Filipino menu breakfast are exclusively for the Philippines only and will run for a limited time. IHOP Restaurant's pancakes, omelettes, stuffed French toasts, crepes, and other American breakfast have become instant hits since IHOP opened a year ago.
Savory Pork Longganisa, P375. I love any variant of longganisa so this is a sure winner for me. It also comes with a dipping sauce of vinegar with garlic bits. Yum!
Classic Pork Tocino, P295. This is another Pinoy favorite breakfast that is popularly known as Tocilog. The marinated pork is sweet and tender and pairs off nicely with the garlic rice.
Lean Chicken Sausage, P295. For the health-conscious, the lean chicken sausage is a must-try. You can also request for sunny side-up eggs instead of scrambled eggs.
Classic Chicken Tocino, P345. Another healthier alternative to pork tocino. White meat rules!
Breakfast Beef Tapa, P375. This is another favorite of mine that I can eat any time of the day and every day too!

(Bloomberg) -- Swiss Re Ltd. Chief Financial Officer George Quinn will leave the world's second-biggest reinsurer at the end of April to join Zurich Insurance Group in a similar position.
Zurich Insurance, Switzerland's biggest insurer, has been seeking a CFO since the suicide of Pierre Wauthier in August. Vibhu Sharma has been filling the position on an interim basis.
"It is a sensible career move," said Stefan Schuermann, a Zurich-based analyst with Vontobel Holding AG. "He brings experience that Zurich Insurance needs at this stage, so it is good news."
Quinn, 47, joined Swiss Re in 1999 as chief accounting officer, becoming CFO in 2007. The board "very much regrets" Quinn's decision to leave the company, Chairman Walter Kielholz said in a statement.
Wauthier's suicide prompted Chairman Josef Ackermann to resign, while the company said in November no undue pressure was exerted on Wauthier. The insurer lowered its profit goal on Dec. 5 as Chief Executive Officer Martin Senn signaled he's ready to sell some businesses to bolster earnings.
A year after Quinn was made CFO, the company reported record losses from the sales and trading of securities leading to a 3 billion-franc ($3.4 billion) cash injection from Warren Buffett, which the company agreed to repay in 2010.

Most people experience acne at some point in their life; mainly as a teenager. It is the most common skin condition.
Acne occurs when the pores of our skin become clogged, most often on the face, neck, back, and chest. No one knows exactly why this happens, but we do know that hormones and heredity play a part.
Acne can be mild, moderate, or severe. Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and lead to scarring of the skin.
The most important thing we can do for acne prone skin is to be gentle with the products that we use and in their application.
- Oil Cleaning Method (OCM) – you just have to try this gentle method for supporting acne prone skin
- 100% organic ARGAN Oil – no added fragrance, nothing but organic argan oil
- ARGAN Acne Prone Night Serum – a moisturizer developed for acne prone skin
- Calendula infused products are very healing for skin imperfections
- Lavender products are also very gentle
