Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce said it would pay $149.5 million to the estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc to resolve litigation over a collateralized debt obligation tied to the bankruptcy of the former Wall Street bank.
In a statement on Monday, Canada's fifth-largest bank said the million payment was equal to $110.3 million after taxes.

CIBC said it had previously recognized a gain of $841 million following Lehman's September 15, 2008, bankruptcy, when it had reduced to zero its financial commitment related to a note issued by the CDO.
On September 14, 2010, Lehman had sued CIBC and dozens of other defendants to recover more than $3 billion that it said it had been deprived of as a result of the Chapter 11 filing.
Lehman contended it had contracts that gave it senior payment priority on various derivatives and collateralized debt obligations, but that the bankruptcy caused this to be improperly replaced with junior payment priority.
It sought to hold CIBC responsible for a large portion of the more than $1.3 billion due under an agreement requiring it to cover payment shortfalls tied to a CDO transaction.
A Lehman spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the CIBC settlement.
Once Wall Street's fourth-largest investment bank, Lehman emerged from bankruptcy protection on March 6 and has paid out roughly half of the estimated $65 billion it hopes to return to creditors. Its bankruptcy is by far the largest in U.S. history.
The case is Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc v. Bank of America NA et al, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 10-ap-03547. The main bankruptcy is In re: Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc in the same court, No. 08-13555.

Ranch Supplies
Over the years we have found a few must have attachments that you will find very useful and necessary on your small farm or ranch. The following attachments can be used with most ATV's, UTV's, Golf Cart's or Small Tractor's and will not require you to have a Power Take Off (PTO).
A small pull behind manure spreader is ideal for spreading muck and manure over your pastures. Save time and money by tossing your muck directly to a manure spreader when you are cleaning your stalls. When you are done mucking your stalls spread immediately over your pastures. We offer a few choices of compact manure spreaders that will provide you with years of services.
A drag harrow, or tine harrow, as some folks call them are great attachments for your ATV to quickly run across your pastures. This will knock down those small manure piles for quicker dispersement and keep your pastures looking nice and reduce the flies.
Weeds are always a problem. We have provided a wide selection of sprayers that you can attach to your ATV, Golf Cart, or Tractor. Take our advice from years of experience of maintaining fence lines, spray a few times a year and keep from using that heavy weed eater.
If you have other products that have made your life around the barn or stable a little easier we would love to hear from you. Feel free to give us a call.
Stable Supplies
As horse owners, we know your stable can become your second home. The key to running your stable smoothly and efficiently is a well-stocked stable with all the necessary stable equipment and supplies. Therefore, we strive to offer all of the stable supplies you will need for your stable or barn. Shop our feeders, tack trunks, western saddle & tack racks, waterers, stall guards, muck carts, hay bags and buckets, mounting blocks, hose heaters, infrared heaters, misting fans, tine harrows, broadcast spreaders, compact manure spreaders, stall mats, grooming supplies, and more. We have it all and at affordable prices.
Stable Tips:
- Horses should have water made available to them at all times, so you can't go wrong with adding bucket holders to your list. Install them in your stable to keep the horses from kicking the buckets over.
- Hay bags, also known as hay nets, can save you a lot of money. Feeding from the floor can become very wasteful when the horses walk on it and spread it out. Using hay bags, allows you to monitor how much each horse is consuming.
- Organization is very essential. It ensures a safe and comfortable living space for your horse. Having various tack racks, muck and stall supplies on hand will help keep things running smoothly.
- Stall mats are strongly recommended and are a widely used flooring in the equine industry. They improve the lives and health of your horses while providing safe footing inside stalls, grooming and shoeing areas, trailer floors, aisles and more. They provide traction for horses, as well as the horse owners.
- Take proper pest control measures in the stable, barn and pasture to help keep your horse free of flies, ticks, gnats and fleas. Not only are they annoying to the horse, they can also spread diseases and parasites and can cause digestive problems in horses. Fly control products, such as fly sprays, fly bags, fly traps and using drag harrows on pastures and paddocks can help can keep your horse more comfortable and control the fly population.

This is a small basket made by the Washoe Tribe. I have had this one for about a year now. It is oval in shape and the lid is held to the basket with a small leather tie. It has the tell tale start that all Washoe baskets have in the middle of the bottom and this one, also the lid. I got this one off Ebay and it was listed as just a small basket. I won it for less than 12 dollars if I remember right, I know it was not more than 15 dollars at most including shipping. I love all Native American basketry as you can tell from my listed items here...lol. I am Cherokee (mom) and Choctaw (dad) and have been gifted many baskets from friends and family. I lost alot of it when I got sick and was forced to sell a good part of my collections. Things are much better now and for the past few years I have been picking up a piece here and there. I know I cannot get back what was lost but all things happen for a reason, the baskets I have now are part of new memories and moving forward. Every basket tells a story and you can read it if you look close enough. Enjoy the pictures.

I, for one, an sick of President Obama giving in to Republican demands at every turn. I cannot say, however, exactly what it is about him that Republicans so dislike.
They should be erecting monuments to the guy. He's lowered taxes, passed their healthcare bill, kept Guantanamo Bay open, kept us at war...
If electing Republicans will "stop him", then may be that's not such a bad thing.

I love the way they write this screed as if the Republicans give a shit about the common Joe on the street. Seriously? Not that the Democrats are not beholding to their own set of benevolent overlords as well. The American political system today is nothing more than Washington's own version of WWE but 99% of the American public is too biased one way or the other to see they're taking it in the arse no matter which of the two majors is in control. Maybe they feel with their own ilk they at least get dinner and a kiss first. Politicians throw some raw meat at their base and then pat each other on the back and meet up at the bar after exiting the ring to throw back a few drinks and laugh at us.

Agree with CharlieE, but my complaint is that this notion that the R-Branch of the UniParty was not elected to "work with" Obama is just so wrong on so many levels, and I'm d*mn sick and tired of this horse hockey.
It was really not all that long ago that US citizens *grasped* the simple fact that what we call "Democracy" (it isn't but that's another story) means that not everyone gets their "way" 100% of the time. And most citizens *accepted* the results of elections and *agreed* with some bipartisanship to get things done.
Poll after poll shows that the majority of US citizens - from either branch of the UniParty + Independents - are fed up & disgusted with Congress and their obstructionist inability to pass useful legislation.
This kind of b.s. propaganda is really the worst and very putrid. Typically encouraging conservatives to stay stuck at the level of 2 year olds throwing temper tantrums to get "their way."
Grow up. You're being played.

Rush Limbaugh and the people at Red State have a business model founded on the hate and divisiveness that infuses our current political system. They can't take a chance that right-wing Americans in large numbers might discover that the people across the street with the Obama bumper sticker on their car aren't really their enemy. If these people and their representatives were to start finding a few areas of common ground to work on it would be a slippery slope to the idea of cooperation, working for the common good and patriotic compromise. And the screaming haters would see their incomes and influence shrivel. Yes, I imagine the idea of Republicans and Democrats working together makes their selfish little sphincters clench in fear.

Govern? Since when did the GOP actually govern? They use fear and hatred to get elected and then proceed to steal everything not nailed down, and then blame the Democrats and howl that the government they broke is broken.
Anybody paying attention for more than a two-year election cycle can see this.
And how can one respond to such vicious demagoguery, except to say that it's war if you want it.

By Wes Moody
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
They say good things come to those who wait. That has certainly been the case for fifth-year senior pitcher Drew Krittenbrink.
After compiling a 7-0 record, an ERA of 0.83 and a batting average of .403 as a senior in high school, the three-sport ace from Okarche, Okla. faced an unexpected challenge at Oklahoma.
"I wasn't really sure coming out of high school where I wanted to go. I made the decision only about two or three weeks before school actually started so it was a pretty late decision," Krittenbrink said. "My freshman year I got cut after the fall season."
The time off was a trial for Krittenbrink, but one he learned and grew from.
"I learned a lot about maturity and living through adversity. I hadn't been through much adversity through sports so that was a change. I just had to be patient and trust in God and know that whatever he had planned for me was best for me. I was just patiently waiting."
On recommendation from the coaching staff, Krittenbrink stuck around and worked through that season, looking forward to having another chance to make the team. A self-proclaimed skinny kid coming out high school, Krittenbrink spent that year getting stronger and working on his craft.
"I came in at about 160 or 165 pounds. I was pretty skinny from high school basketball, so I put on about 15 pounds and tried to get my velocity up. I worked on my mechanics and just tried to come in polished for the next year. I came back in the fall and made the team and I've been here ever since."
Despite making the team again, Krittenbrink saw little action the next two years. He pitched just 14.2 innings in four appearances during that span. Once again, his patience was being tested.
"In high school you are used to being the guy. Everyone here was the guy at their high school. It was a little bit of a change for me, not getting to play and just having to be patient and knowing that I was going to get my chance."
In 2014, that chance finally came. Under new head coach Pete Hughes, the fifth-year senior got a fresh start and a clean slate.
"He hadn't pitched much but he has been in some big games," Hughes said. "I didn't know his past, I just came here and watched him pitch and I evaluated him from day one. I didn't look at a stat sheet or anything else. I saw a kid who likes to compete, never loses composure and comes to work and goes about his business every single day. For our young pitching staff to see a guy like him do his thing every day, that's invaluable as a coach to have that."
To this point in the season, Krittenbrink boasts a 2.93 ERA and an opponent batting average of just .237 in 10 relief appearances. Hughes credits Krittenbrink's maturity and attitude for his performance.
"He is such a team guy," Hughes said. "He has such a larger perspective on life than some of these other kids. When he shows up to the park it's all about, how is Oklahoma Baseball going to win today and how am I going to be part of that? He is always ready and prepared to help this team win because he is so caught up in the team and not himself. He is my kind of guy. He wants nothing but Oklahoma to win."
The trust the new coaching staff has in Krittenbrink is a big reason the Sooners have been able to turn to him for crucial outs in tight spots time and time again this year.
"Confidence can do a lot of things for you," Krittenbrink said. "The new coaching staff, they are never negative towards you. You can make a mistake as long as you make it being aggressive and hustling on the field. You know if you go out there and be aggressive and give your all for your teammates then they trust that you can get it done on the field."
Krittenbrink's journey through collegiate baseball; from being cut as a freshman to bullpen staple as a redshirt senior, has instilled in him the attitude, focus and perspective that makes him an ideal leader for the Sooners.
"I think I lead some of the younger guys," Krittenbrink said. "When I was a freshman and sophomore I learned from the older guys and I heard their stories of times when things weren't going so well for them, but they stuck it out and they started doing well and got to the positions they were in. I learned from them and it's something that I hope I can pass on to our younger guys, to just keep your head down and keep working hard and good things will come."
As a double major in finance and accounting, the veteran hurler sets the tone in the classroom as well. With a 56-game regular season schedule and post-season tournaments to follow, baseball can put a strain on even the most studious of athletes.
"You better be mature enough to understand the academic piece of being a student-athlete," Hughes said. "You had better be organized and you have to be a competitor. I tell our guys that they have to compete in the classroom as well because it is difficult. What you do in the classroom carries over to the field and you are the same person. I love guys like Drew because I know that I am going to get a disciplined, focused and competitive product on the field because that's who he is in the classroom."
"It's about discipline and getting your academics done before baseball so you can have a clear mind when you get out on the field." Krittenbrink said.
Whether on the mound, at practice or in the classroom, Krittenbrink's approach is something that any coach would love for his players to emulate.
"Since I have coached him, that's all he has displayed out there is a love to compete, the ability to execute pitches and have success," Hughes said. "He has been great for us."For Krittenbrink and his coaches, there is little doubt that the lessons he learned while waiting his turn have helped mold him into the player and person he is today, the kind of person that any team would be lucky to have.

Middle Tennessean caught in Las Vegas shooting talks about 'horrific' experience
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--A Middle Tennessee man caught in Sunday night's violence during a mass shooting in Las Vegas says it was "the most horrific event I've ever been a part of."
Murfreesboro's Max Watson says he was in Vegas to see a DJ play at a local club but had time to spare until the show. He was walking down the strip when he noticed the Route 91 Harvest Festival and decided to stop and watch the show.
"I walked into the back of the crowd and within fifteen minutes the shots started," Watson says. "There were tons and tons of gunshots. It was insane."
Watson says at first, people were not sure if it was part of the show, fireworks, or sounds from another show nearby. "People were confused until they realized what was happening. Most of the people in the front and middle of the crowd dropped to the ground." Watson says he and others in the back were able to flee but the shooting seemed to target those towards the front.
In terms of the gunfire, Watson says the terror was ongoing. "It came in spurts. there would be a five second interval of shots, then it would stop and there would be a ten second interval of shots. You would think it was done and then it would start again," Watson says.
Watson says he ran across the street near Planet Hollywood and he's not sure if it was related or if there was something else going on, but he watched as "several dozen" people came running out near Planet Hollywood. Watson says the response by Las Vegas Police was almost immediate.
"Police were there within three to five minutes but you heard the sirens immediately letting you know they were coming," Watson says.
Watson was at the airport when speaking with FOX 17 News, on his way to Orlando for a scheduled trip with his two boys, but he is longing for home. "I just want to come home. I feel like I just witnessed fifty people's murder," Watson says. "It's just hard to put into words right now."

I think the very last think I will see today is a fly (except maybe a ladybug - we're kind of overrun with them), but I can always stitch one now on my quilt!
But the painful part of this cold seems to be past and I'm still taking it very, very easy. Speaking of easy, let's learn how to stitch this super easy Shoo Fly design:
Inspiration - It must have been way back in September or October a guy quilter emailed me and asked for a bug design. Since I had 2 or 3 weeks worth of designs already made up with videos in line, I just drew him a picture and emailed it back to him.
Bugs, just like all shapes, are very simple if you break them down into cartoony versions. This fly is so easy because it's basically just an oval, 2 circles, and 2 tear drop shapes for wings.
Difficulty Level - Intermediate. This is a fairly easy design that will be fun to stitch at all skill levels. If you want to take it up a notch, you can always fill the wings or make your bug a bumble bee!
Design Family - Independent. This design is connected with a meandering line so it works independently on your quilt. This means that it will work just about anywhere, but you might want to place the bugs where they can easily be seen and shown off.
Directional Texture - No Direction. This design won't have any particular movement to it because the bugs can be formed in all different directions.
Suggestions for Use - I can think of a fun, beautiful honeycomb quilt with black and yellow strips of fabric. Stitch this design over the black areas for all the bugs and pebbling in the yellow areas for the honeycomb!

John Kruk for Color Man? And Other Bullets
The Giants staved off elimination for at least one more game, downing the Cardinals 5-0. They'll play again on Sunday back in San Francisco. Thank you, Barry Zito.
- A non-former Cub suggestion for Cubs color man? John Kruk, says Dave Wischnowsky. Kruk, whose on-air skills have always been good, has grown in his baseball accumen in recent years (he used to be a standard "the team with more heart wins" kind of guy, but it's gotten a little better), and he's fun says Dave. Not sure what I think about Kruk, but I do think we're getting too locked into the idea that the next guy has to have some connection to the Cubs. Bob Brenly didn't (other than a very brief radio stint back in the early 90's).
- The Ricketts family gets some love for its charitable work in Chicago from one of the heads of those charities. The letter comes in response to the nasty Rick Telander column last week, shredding the Cubs for their charitable causes.
- Doug Padilla looks at right field for the Cubs in 2012 and 2013, and notes what a dead zone it was for production (relative to the rest of the league) in 2012. It's a bummer to see how far down the totem pole the Cubs were in right field, because David DeJesus spent so much time there, and it felt like he was having a solid year. The truth is, his numbers play very well in center field, but not so well in right. At present, he's going to be playing one of those positions to open 2013, and it'll depend on which – if any – outfielders the Cubs acquire this offseason.
- Vine Line does another player profile, this of James Russell, and it's damn good (it goes into depth on his pitch mix against lefties versus righties, and his lack of a platoon split this year). I want to know who is writing these things so I can pass along appropriate plaudits. Good work, Mystery Writer.
- A Ryne Sandberg profile that has almost no connection whatsoever to the Cubs. Maybe that's how it should be for now. Sandberg, you may recall, was recently promoted to the third base coach job in Philadelphia, and is expected to take over as manager there after 2013 when Charlie Manuel's contract expires.
- Kane County Cougars tickets go on sale this morning, and folks were already lining up to get them last night. Think Chicago-area fans are excited to have the Cubs' A-ball affiliate nearby?
- I love that Ian Stewart is open, accessible, and candid on Twitter. He might well be the *most* open, accessible, and candid Cubs player I've ever seen on Twitter. But there are reasons why folks are usually more guarded – the primary of which is so that you don't have conversations like this that are now a part of the Internet forever. I'm not sure I care for much of any of that, Ian – and, no, people using hurtful words to each other doesn't simply have to be "how life is and will be." Change always has to start somewhere.

I want to track down these malware authors, cut off their thumbs and big toes, and then drive a tent peg through their temples into the ground. Sorry, I have been reading Judges lately, as it were.
The system I am working on seemed to be coming along. It was getting a floppy seek error, and then wouldn't boot once F1 was pressed to continue.
I looked in BIOS, and noticed the date and time was off. I had a spare CMOS battery, so I threw that in there, and was able to correct those problems, but it still would not boot.
I tried going into safemode, but it stalled while loading drivers. I ran a repair off of the Windows CD, but then it stalled at the XP splash screen, where it says 'Please wait'. I did wait... for over an hour. Nothing. So I shut it down, booted off of the XP cd again, ran chkdsk /r, and waited some more. It would get to 75%, then jump back to 50%. It did that several times, but finally finished.
After it finished, I was able to boot into Windows. I got several errors about weatherbug and what not while Windows loaded. I removed weatherbug, and several toolbars, and then ran MalwareBytes. Three hundred and seven infected objects. I removed those, rebooted, then ran a full scan. Three infected objects. Removed, rebooted.
Then I tried to do a Windows update. IE wouldn't open from the Update icon or the actual program file. I ran combo fix. Rootkit activity detected. Rebooted, combofix finished, and removed some objects.
Ran Malwarebytes, clean.
Ran Spybot S&D, 5 objects found. Removed. Rebooted.
IE still wouldn't open. Copied the firefox exe over from another system, downloaded IE8, installed. It finally opened. Pages worked fine, except for... you guessed it, Windows Update.
Ran hijack this, removed a few objects that didn't check out. Rebooted. Nothing.
Downloaded a kaspersky live cd, ran that, clean.
Booted back into Windows. Reset tcp/ip and winsock. Checked the host file... clean. Rebooted.
Still no update. I am running the sophos anti rootkit program now, will see what it turns up.
I have also downloaded the Panda safe-cd. I have not ran it yet.
I am to the point where I am going to recommend reformatting, but I don't think the client is going to be happy with that option.
I am about to pull my hair out. Stupid infections.

ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform,
Counter, Evacuate) Training is the leading program for response to violent
critical incidents (VCI). VCI are man-made forms of violent disaster,
including: active shooter, violent intruder, mass
shooting, terrorism, workplace violence, and other unexpected
The mission of ALICE is to save
lives – this training program empowers individuals to make their own survival
decisions should they be faced with violence. Survival will be based
on one of two things: the danger area was quickly rendered safe (probably
by those in the area and not responding law enforcement), or the people were
able to quickly get out of the danger area.
ALICE Certified Instructor Role
Completion of this training program
allows you to become an ALICE Certified Instructor (ACI).
As an ACI, you will receive the
necessary training and materials to be able to conduct
ALICE overview and refresher presentations, and lead the
hands-on portion of training in the ALICE Blended delivery model. In the
ALICE Blended model, user-level training participants learn the
ALICE strategies through the ALICE Basic
e-Learning course and then these strategies are
reinforced through hands-on training and application provided by an
ALICE Instructor Certification lasts
for 2 years and is renewed online through the ALICE
Instructor Re-certification e-Learning course.
Through the ALICE Blended
delivery model (e-Learning + hands-on training), ACI's may provide training
to any type of organization, except for commercial use (or any
use that generates income). Partnership
programs are available.

Steve Newton
Primary tabs
Geology professor Steven Newton knows firsthand how the nature of science--distorted by "merchants of doubt" who push ideology and pseudoscience--is misunderstood by students. Newton's research on this topic led him to join NCSE as a Programs and Policy Director, where he organizes grass root responses to creationist flare-ups, from individual classrooms to entire states. With broad interests in paleoclimatology, paleontology, science education, and the phenomenon of science denial, Newton has written for New Scientist, Christian Science Monitor, Philadelphia Inquirer, Huffington Post, Earth, and The Earth Scientist.

Cut those low-hanging branches. Find the path your electrical service takes to reach your house. That's what the Leverett broadband committee is telling its residents now that construction is about to begin on the town's broadband network.
"We expect that within a matter of days our contractor will be starting work," said Peter D'Errico, a retired UMass legal studies professor who lives in Leverett and is a member of the town's cable committee.
D'Errico explained that the town's telephone and electrical providers, Verizon and Western Mass. Electric, have been readying the utility poles in town to be fitted with fiber optic cables in preparation for the construction that will be carried out by the project contractor, Millennium Communications of New Jersey.
Millennium's track record includes a network called the Rosenet Wide Area Network that connects AT&T Research, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison Township administrative buildings and the schools in Madison, N.J., and many other projects, among them a surveillance network for the Newark Housing Authority.
In Leverett, an aspect of the broadband project that will not be carried out by Millennium Communications is the building of two structures to house the apparatus for the network.
"We're in the design and site preparation phase for the two small buildings that will hold the network equipment," d'Errico said. "We have to put that out for bid. At one site there has to be some Conservation Commission oversight because it's near a wetland, but that will be fairly simple, and the construction will shortly be put out for bid."
Leverett's experience is a textbook case for advocates of municipal broadband. The town has a very small population—about 2,000—and an uneven terrain with hills and ravines, factors that have made commercial providers reluctant to build an up-to-date system there.
As recently as 2007, Leverett was so underserved by broadband and even cell phone connectivity that people were reluctant to rent living space there, and property values were suffering. Police making traffic stops couldn't even access state records such as drivers' licenses. In 2008, Verizon offered the village DSL access, but it worked poorly and didn't reach every home in town.
Meanwhile the state's MassBroadband 123 program, which involves 123 communities in western and north central Massachusetts, created a fiber optic network that brought access much nearer Leverett—near enough that all the town needed was so-called "last-mile" service.
In 2011 the town got a $40,000 state grant to study the creation of a municipal broadband network. The Select Board appointed a Broadband Committee and once the two bodies were armed with sufficient planning information, they so eloquently made their case that an up-to-date local broadband network was necessary and feasible that 90 percent of town residents voted for an increase in property taxes to bond for $3.6 million for the work.
The system, which will offer public wi-fi as well as in-home broadband, is expected to be in operation by the end of this year.
Leverett's action is notable not only because its residents decided to move out on their own and not wait any longer for service from a broadband provider, but because the town's move to create its own "Leverettnet" is part of a movement that's becoming increasingly controversial.
About 400 communities in the U.S. have or are building their own broadband networks, but opposition is strong and growing. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a Koch-fueled lobbying group, has written model legislation to combat the spread of municipal networks on the grounds that when they are funded wholly or partly by tax money, they create unfair competition for private enterprise.
Twenty states have laws that either prohibit or seriously discourage the building of municipal broadband networks (Massachusetts has no such law). Some of them impose profitability requirements that are impossible for municipal systems to meet; some allow local networks only under terms so restrictive that they are, in effect, prohibited.
In Kansas, the Kansas Cable Telecommunications Association, consisting of Cox Communications, Eagle Communications, Time Warner Cable and Comcast, have lobbied and even written legislation to make it illegal for a municipality to establish a broadband network except in "unserved" areas; the legislation as first presented defined "unserved" so restrictively that it even excluded dish service, a definition opponents said made it impossible to designate any area of the state as unserved.
The Federal Communications Commission, however, has expressed support for communities that move to build their own broadband systems if they have been unable to get commercial broadband companies to provide them with effective service. That position has brought the FCC under fire from the broadband industry, but so far FCC chairman Tom Wheeler's remarks on the subject have been consistent with those of the agency's previous chairman, Julius Genachowski. "If a community can't gain access to broadband services that meet its needs," Genachowski wrote last year, "then it should be able to serve its own residents directly. Proposals that would tie the hands of innovative communities that want to build their own high-speed networks will slow progress to our nation's broadband goals and will hurt economic development and job creation in those areas."•

Operation Art Box flows on
While taking in some sun the other other day on the patio of my favorite Nob Hill watering hole, I heard an uproar of laughs behind me. I turned and saw a dog happily besmirching one of my favorite Alibi art boxes with a mighty stream of urine. After confirming that the canine in question was not employed by any rival news outlets, I concluded he had most likely overindulged and decided to leave the matter at that.
Moral of the story: It's art box season. Click the above link to see how you can personalize your very own Alibi distribution box. Selected artists will also get stipend cash, prizes, inclusion in a big art show and the gratification of having their work displayed publicly year-round. And who knows? You might even have the honor of having your metal masterpiece R. Kellyed upon.

Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's $400 million Powerball jackpot winner has paid nearly $16 million in state taxes and $55 million to the federal government.
Education Lottery Executive Director Paul Harper Bethea told the lottery oversight committee Tuesday the payments were made Friday to the Department of Revenue and to the Internal Revenue Service.
The winner has chosen to remain anonymous. The jackpot was the fourth largest in the history of the game. The South Carolina man was the only winner of last month's game.
Bethea says the excitement of the large prize boosted sales by about $2 million.
The winning ticket was bought at a Murphy Express just off Interstate 20 west of Columbia. The store got a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, is an acute, infectious, viral disease found in wild ruminants like whitetail deer. It is spread by the bite of a tiny fly called a midge, and is usually fatal to the infected deer within a couple of weeks after its transmission.
This year, because of an unusually mild winter combined with an unseasonably dry summer, an outbreak of EHD has hit a region of the upper Midwest especially hard, an area that has never endured a deer die-off from the disease to the extent it has in recent months.
As a result, early season bowhunters in parts of Michigan, northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and North Dakota made some gruesome discoveries when they first headed afield in late summer and early fall – usually smelling the carcasses of rotting whitetail before seeing them.
The impact of this year's EHD outbreak has also adversely affected archery and hunting gear retailers in some regions, most notably in the southern half of Michigan, where the disease has claimed deer by the thousands.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced this week that EHD has been confirmed in 30 counties, including Allegan, Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Clare, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Gratiot, Hillsdale, Ingham, Ionia, Isabella, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Lenawee, Manistee, Mecosta, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Osceola, Ottawa, Saginaw, Shiawassee, St. Joseph, Washtenaw, and Wayne.
A total of 11,164 dead whitetails – presumably killed by EHD – have been reported to the agency, with the emphasis on the word "reported."
"They say to get an accurate idea of how many deer have died is to multiply that number by seven or nine," Chad Perkins, archery retailer and owner of Gold Star 2 in Lake Odessa told The Archery Wire in an interview Monday, Oct. 29.
Ionia County, where Perkins has operated his archery, firearms and hunting gear business for the past six years, currently leads the state with 2,244 reported deer deaths from EHD in 2012.
"Everybody who comes into the shop is talking about it," Perkins said. "And even though we've had a few freezes (which kill the biting midges that spread the disease), hunters are still finding dead deer."
Perkins estimates that he's seen about a 10 to 15 percent decline in sales, directly attributed to this year's EHD outbreak. Other area business like restaurants and motels have been negatively impacted as well, because many hunters simply aren't hunting this year or are traveling elsewhere to do so.
Tom Cooley, a biologist and pathologist with the Michigan DNR's Wildlife Disease Lab said there is more than one strain of EHD, and unless the deer herd has been exposed to a specific strain, it has little built-up resistance or immunity to that virus.
"Historically, this has been a fairly isolated disease," said Cooley. "This year, we are likely dealing with a population of deer that have not been exposed to this disease, so no natural vaccination has taken place," he said. "That's likely why we are seeing higher mortality and morbidity rates."
Prior to this year, Michigan's most severe outbreak of EHD was in 2010, when an estimated 1,000 animals died in six counties, a far cry for the low-end estimate of 11,000 so far this year.
Jeff Schantz, an employee of Al and Pete's Sports Shop in Hastings, Mich. told the Detroit News last week the shop had a disappointing archery season.
"It's definitely hurt us," said Schantz. "Gun sales, bow sales, crossbow sales, arrows, broadheads, slugs … you name it, the numbers are down. Some people aren't even going to hunt this year."

The most important thing for human is for itself to be eternally alive.
Human mind is false and incomplete because human takes pictures of the lived life and store them in the brain.
Stress, Pain and burden comes from the numerous thoughts from the pictures of the life i lived.
In Mumbai Meditation, our method is throwing away the false mind to be the mind of Truth.
As the life that we lived is nothing but a picture in the mind, if we discard it, it disappears. Because it is false.
Our method is about throwing away the lived life and thoughts.
If we discard the lived life and thoughts, the mind goes back to the origin.
If he be reborn as the origin, human never die, and reach human completion and can know all the principles of the world by himself.
Already 5000 people has done this study. So who wouldn't do it?
The most important thing to human is to live. Every human who dies just disappears.
If i just disappear there is no meaning or value of the existence. But if human go back to the origin he lives to the age of the universe. So that is why this method is causing a sensation.
The center is always open to fully support the people who wants to meditate. Feel free to come to the free introduction :)

In deciding to not be the first in the nation to use the anesthetic propofol for capital punishment, Gov. Jay Nixon left Missouri with dwindling options as it seeks to execute two convicted murderers in the coming months.
Gov. Jay Nixon halted Allen Nicklasson's Oct. 23 execution following doctor protests along with threats from the anti-death penalty European Union to limit the drug's export. Nixon ordered the state corrections department to come up with a different lethal injection protocol and instructed Attorney General Chris Koster to ask the state Supreme Court to set a new execution date for Nicklasson.
Other states, including Ohio and Texas, have turned to private compounding pharmacies to prepare new batches of the sedative pentobarbital after large drug manufacturers balked, a move Missouri could follow. It could also seek to administer a different FDA-approved sedative such as midazolam, also an untested execution drug which the state of Florida plans to provide Tuesday night as part of a three-drug mix for William Happ, a house painter convicted in a Fort Lauderdale rape and strangulation.
Another possible scenario for Missouri: months if not years of continued legal challenges. Nicklasson's lawyer has asked the state Supreme Court to not rule on the request for a date until officials select a new death penalty drug.
"You can't set an execution date now," said attorney Jennifer Herndon. "There's not even a protocol ...The state's request for a new execution date is premature."
Nicklasson was convicted of the 1994 killing of Excelsior Springs businessman Richard Drummond. A car carrying Nicklasson and two others broke down on Interstate 70 in central Missouri. Drummond, a Vietnam veteran, stopped to help and was then kidnapped, robbed and shot in the woods off the
interstate. Another man in the car, Dennis Skillicorn, was executed in 2009.
Another execution is scheduled - for now - on Nov. 20. Joseph Franklin was convicted in the 1977 sniper shooting of Gerald Gordon as a crowd dispersed from a bar mitzvah in suburban St. Louis. Two others were wounded. When he confessed 17 years later, Franklin was serving several life sentences in a federal prison for killing two black joggers in Salt Lake City and an interracial couple in Madison, Wis., and bombing a synagogue in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Koster's written request to the Missouri Supreme Court asks Nicklasson be executed "soon after" Franklin. A Koster spokeswoman said there were no new developments Tuesday, as did a Department of Corrections official.
Unlike propofol and other more widely available drugs previously used in executions, drugs manufactured by compounding pharmacies aren't regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration, raising questions among death penalty opponents and public health watchdogs alike. A deadly nationwide meningitis outbreak last year in which 64 people died and 750 others sickened was traced to a tainted steroid custom-made by a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy.
Such businesses also risk public backlash once their identities are revealed. A suburban Houston compounding pharmacy that supplied a special batch of pentobarbital to the Texas prison where an inmate was executed last week asked to have the drug returned after complaining about "a firestorm" of public attention, including hate mail.
"There's going to be pressure," said attorney Richard Deiter, executive director of the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center. "Everybody in the medical business has their ethical codes - and the death penalty usually isn't a part of it."
In Arkansas, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel recently told a statewide group of local sheriffs that the state's death penalty system is "completely broken" and called lethal injection a "legal fallacy" given the drug shortage. He suggested the state either overhaul its death penalty laws or abolish it completely.
Missouri altered its execution protocol in April 2012 to include propofol only after it could no longer obtain the other lethal injection drugs it had previously used for a three-drug mix.
The decision to use propofol, the drug best known for contributing to pop star Michael Jackson's 2009 overdose, quickly prompted a lawsuit filed on behalf of nearly two dozen death row inmates who claimed that using the unproven execution drug could result in pain and suffering for the condemned.

Colloquia and Videos
The Physics Department at the University of California, Berkeley has a great tradition of presenting world-class scientists from all over the world to the campus and public. The annual Emilio Segrè Distinguished Lectureship was endowed by Raymond and Beverly Sackler in 1987, and it honors the work of great experimentalists such as Segrè himself. Physicists who have given this lecture include nuclear physicist and one of this department's first female graduate students, Chieng-Shiung Wu, Nobel Laureate Burton Richter, astrophysicist Andrew Lange, and 2012 Nobel laureate David Wineland, also an alumnus of this department. On October 17, 2014, Chancellor Emeritus and Physics Professor Robert J. Birgeneau will present the Segrè lecture, to be called "Superconductors: Old and New."
The J. Robert Oppenheimer Distinguished Lectureship in Physics was also started in 1987 and has been generously supported by Jane and Robert Wilson. This annual lecture honors Oppenheimer and his legacy in the Physics Department where, in many ways, he started the tradition of theoretical physics. Many of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists have given the lecture including Freeman Dyson, Frank Wilczek, Gerard t'Hooft, Lisa Randall, and Berkeley University Professor Marvin Cohen.
The department also hosts weekly colloquia and special public lectures, such as the Regents' Lecture. We invite you to peruse our many excellent lectures that showcase cutting-edge physics and inspire the broader community to participate in science.

Early Childhood Development Center announces Superkids 2011
The Lamar University Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) has scheduled a perennial favorite, the Lamar Superkids 2011 program. The summer program will begin the week of June 20 with classes held Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. and a 1:30 p.m. dismissal time each Friday. The program consists of four week-long sessions through the week of July 18-22 with no classes scheduled for the week of July 4. This marks the 20thyear the program has been held on the Lamar campus.
"An important goal of Lamar Superkids 2011 will be the focus on students' relationships," said Margaret Swope, ECDC director. "Healthy friendships are important building blocks for future success; therefore a portion of each day will be devoted to these relationships."
Parents and students may select from a variety of courses offered throughout the program. Speakers have been invited to present talks and special activities on subjects such as "Going on Safari" in which students will discover untamed animals in the wilds of Africa; "Blooming Botany", a presentation that will teach students about water-stealing plants as well as plants used for medicines, foods and art supplies; and "BugPlay", an exploration of the world of insects as the students collect, observe and even taste creatures from the world's largest animal kingdom.
The enrollment fee for students going into grades 1-3 is $200. Parents interested in making reservations or in need of further information are encouraged to contact Margaret Swope at the Lamar University ECDC at 880-8066 or 880-8098. The Early Childhood Development Center is located at 950 Jim Gilligan Way on the LU campus.
