Pushing the Hugo Chavez Era Toward Its End
That the end would come sooner rather than later for Hugo Chavez appeared in recent years to be a pretty safe bet. His influence over Latin American affairs waned after a series of mishaps and strategic defeats, from Honduras to his own country's disputes with Colombia (in particular with Colombia's former President Alvaro Uribe). His stewardship over the Venezuelan economy was proving exponentially disastrous. His whole Bolivarian project just seemed like a farce -- dangerous, still, but increasingly more quixotic than anything else.
That it would be on account of cancer, though, no one could possibly predict. After all, following his first scare, he was back on the campaign trail after a few months off and looking quite on the mend. In fact many, myself included, believed the end would come by way of the ballot box, but those expectations were dashed. The election came and went: Chavez got some extra mileage from his political platform of demagogic largesse, while the opposition failed to inspire the turnout it needed to go that last mile. That was the end of that, apparently.
Except now it seems Chavez is not doing well and his only pending agenda might be with his family, his loved ones and his Maker. Reports he is recuperating and becoming more involved in his presidential duties need to be taken with a grain of salt; they are about as credible as an old USSR press release. This is not to be cavalier about the man's health. In fact, regardless of how he is doing, none what follows politically should involve him. However objectionable his policies as a leader may have been, no one who has been bedside next to a suffering cancer patient can really wish them anything but peace.
But the reality remains he is not an acting head of state -- so a lot more follows politically nonetheless.
Under most fair readings of the Venezuelan Constitution, Chavez's swearing-in should not have been postponed in absentia -- neither should the start of his most recent term occurred, for that matter. There is something rather enjoyably ironic to that, since -- under most democratic constitutions throughout Latin America -- the chain-of-command and continuity in government would have been clear-cut and closed to debate. The second-in-command would have taken office until the president-elect came back to power or was determined unable to do so. Controversy would have been averted.
However, since Chavez and his allies took a scalpel to their constitution in an effort to make a Rube Goldberg-esque document ensuring their perpetuation in power, that is far from the case here. No, under most fair readings of that constitution, an election should be held again and effectively Chavez's term ought be nullified.
That will not be the case, of course, since the Venezuelan Supreme Court conveniently stepped in and settled the matter -- except that it did so less on the merits, and more on the lack of concerted challenges to what is happening in Venezuela. The court ruled, in short, because it could.
Such judicial maneuvering raises imortant questions. Like why, for example, is the Organization for American States (OAS) not taking up a serious discussion on Venezuela? Why is it not prepping a diplomatic mission to at least gain a better sense of what the reality on the ground is? Just as much, if not more, has been set into motion on lesser suspicions of ruptured constitutional orders and undemocratic actions in other countries. (Consider Honduras and Paraguay.)
Just as importantly, why did the opposition -- led by Henrique Capriles -- go only as far as reluctantly and grumblingly accepting the matter as settled? It is understandable that they wished to convey respect and serenity in a tense situation. But there was much, much more room for stronger protests and louder objections. Further, if the OAS was unlikely to take a hard look at Venezuela because of misplaced fear and reverence to Chavez or Venezuela or both, it was even less likely to do so if the opposition is hesitant to openly and loudly denounce what is wrong and corrupt.
Chavez's passing will only mean the end of Chavism if both the Venezuelan opposition and the OAS step up forcefully -- in that order. Caudillismo dies with the caudillo only if it is replaced by something better when he goes -- otherwise a new caudillo steps in soon enough. It is a tragicomedy Latin America has wrestled with since its inception, and it is as true in the case of Venezuela now as it was previously anywhere else.
Moreover, the expectation that infighting between Chavez loyalists -- led by either Nicolas Madura or Diosdado Cabello -- could destabilize the government enough to be a significant setback is particularly factitious fantasy. Chavez's legacy, if nothing else, is built on the importance of political survival at all costs. Whether that means throwing your regional allies under the bus, swallowing your jingoistic pride, bankrupting a state-run company -- or acquiescing to another's leadership grab.
But fate has granted Venezuela a second chance following the missed opportunity of the elections back in October. These are rare and its citizens must not hesitate to push forcefully for change.
Venezuela's opposition badly needs a reset. With enough bodies in the streets they could effectively mark a turning point when they stop being shouted down and pushed aside by Chavism. They must object, they must protest and they must demand something better for their country.
In turn, those countries in the Americas that believe democracy remain a healthy and dynamic system on the continent must stand up, by way of the OAS, and support the efforts of Venezuelan democrats.
That list should include the United States, leading from the front.

Regular physical activity has a range of benefits for your child's physical and mental health. But sometimes it is difficult to know exactly what type of exercise is best and how much activity should be part of your child's routine every week.
The guidelines for physical activity largely depend on a child's age. The recommendations for children younger than18 years old are contained in the two sets of guidelines from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP):
The table below summarizes the amount and types of activity that are suitable during the first few years of your child's life.
Tummy time
Reaching and grasping
Pushing and pulling
Climbing stairs
Playing outside
Exploring nature
Dancing to music
Bike riding
The older your child, the more they need energizing activity. Indeed, more daily physical activity provides even greater benefits.
These guidelines cover all types of movement as well as rest and relaxation throughout the day, including nighttime. A 24-hour day is divided into the four sections:
Vigorous-intensity activities make children sweat and feel "out of breath", leaving them able to speak only a few words between breaths. Examples include hip-hop dancing and running, biking or swimming at a fast pace.
Moderate-intensity activities also make children sweat and breathe a little harder, but they can still talk while they move their bodies. Examples include rollerblading, riding a bike around the neighbourhood after school and moderate level yoga.
Activities that strengthen muscles and bones force the body to bear weight. They include going for a hike with family or friends, jumping rope, playing tennis or basketball or doing weight training with body weight or hand-held weights.
Cycling and swimming are good for building muscles and improving heart health, but they are not as effective as other activities for building strong bones. This is because the bones are not required to bear as much weight while the body is in a seated position or in water.
Often there is a gap between what we know we should do and actually doing it. As a parent, you may find it difficult to get your child to increase their daily physical activity, especially if they are not used to it, are carrying extra weight, are out of shape or are feeling down. However, there are a number of tips that can help.
It is important to instil exercise as a regular part of your child's life right from the beginning. If being active is a routine part of their daily lives, your child will be more likely to get up and get moving when it might be the most difficult to find the motivation, and ironically, when physical activity would be most helpful.
Be a good role model. Not only will this benefit your family by showing them how you can fit daily physical activity into your life in various ways, but it benefits you as well. In addition, regular physical activity will create more opportunities for you to be active and have fun with your children.
Set limits on your child's recreational screen time (watching TV, playing video games, using social media with friends). Children aged two and over should have no more than one to two hours of recreational screen time a day. Children under age two should not have any screen time.
Consider encouraging your child to walk to school with other nearby children by forming a walking club with neighbours. Also make sure that your child or teen is wearing protective equipment for activities such as cycling, skating, skateboarding, soccer and other physical activities.
If your child does not have a routine to fall back on, you can set them up by helping them find something that they really enjoy doing and letting them take gradual steps from there. Getting outside, going for a swim or walking, running or bike riding with friends or family are all great ways to start them off. Other options are doing a yoga class (many are available online to follow at home), playing soccer and dancing.
Even if your child is part of an organized sport a few times a week, encourage them to move on their off days by walking or cycling to a friend's house, raking leaves, skipping rope or playing in a neighbourhood park.
A good idea when choosing an activity is for you and your child to consider:
Your child's interests
Not every child has plans to be the team captain or star player. If your child prefers to do physical activity on their own, they may be interested in running, biking or swimming. If they enjoy being in a team environment where they can make new friends and be part of a community, then team-based activities such as basketball or soccer might be a better option.
Availability and affordability of options
The costs of some physical activities can quickly add up when you take account of uniforms, equipment, lessons and travel to and from training or competitions. When considering the options for your child, check what public programs are available through your city's or town's recreation centres and what your child may be able to do through school. Often these options are more affordable.
There is always a certain amount of fear and discomfort when someone tries something new. It helps to remind your child that they do not need to be the best or fastest but instead should do their best to enjoy and learn from their chosen activity.
If your child tries an activity and does not like it, there is little point in forcing them to continue. A child can only gain the benefits of a physical activity if they like it enough to do it regularly. One option is to think about ways that might make the activity more enjoyable, for instance by doing it with a friend. If that does not work, another option is to encourage your child to continue with the activity until you agree together on another one that they can start. It is also a good idea to encourage your child to try different activities during the week to have some variety and use their body in different ways.

Jeffrey Haber, who served for 27 years as the executive director of the state Association of Towns, died last Friday. He was 68.
"Jeff was proud of his tenure at the Association of Towns, and the organization would not be what it is today without his leadership," the group said in a statement on its website.
The group said that Haber advocated for home rule for local governments and had a career in public service that stretched more than three decades. He first served as supervisor in his hometown of Schodack, Rensselaer County.
His obituary said Haber was a star baseball player in high school and played at SUNY Geneseo. In high school, he struck out 20 of 21 batters in a seven-inning game.
He was head of the Association of Towns from 1985 through last October, when he retired. The group said Haber died after a short illness.
"Beyond his professional dedication, his generosity and wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed," the group said.
Haber is survived by his wife, Sandra, three children and three grandchildren, as well as two stepchildren and four step-grandchildren.
Calling hours will be held Thursday at Ray Funeral Home, 59 Seaman Ave., Castleton from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Family and friends are invited to a Mass of Christian Burial at Trinity Lutheran Church, 70 Green Ave., Castleton, on Friday at 11 a.m.

Would you shop Bar's supermodel smalls? Photo:PA
She of the buff bod, Bar Refaeli is set to make her first foray into fashion - by launching an underwear collection.
According to WWD, the supermodel has designed a range of 'innerwear' for both men and women - that is, everything from bras and knickers, to camisoles and tights for the girls; undershirts and 'everyday basics' for the boys.
And the name? Undeez: described as "underwear designed to simply fit," on the website holding page.
"We have professional designers, of course, but my ideas and input go into every single item," Bar told WWD.
"I try everything before it's manufactured. I choose the fabric and have the last word on the items," she added.
Undeez - aimed at ages 25 to 45 - is set to land both online and in selected stores in January, and will be priced for the "affordable-to-midrange" market.
We wonder if Ms Refaeli was inspired by her ongoing partnership as the face of Passionata lingerie?

Implications of Obama's second term analyzed
Kristen Durbin | Friday, November 9, 2012
In the next four years of his presidency, Barack Obama will expand on the efforts of his first term in office. But he wouldn't have had the opportunity to do so without a broad national base of support.
In terms of the immediate results of the election, political science professor Darren Davis said Obama's maintenance of his 2008 electorate contributed to his reelection.
"Looking at the results, I think what stands out is the remnants of Obama's electoral coalition from 2008," Davis said. "It was reduced … but there were still those signs of an intact coalition that got him elected."
Just as in 2008, Davis said Obama performed well among young voters, women, African-Americans and Latinos but garnered little support from white male voters.
Political science professor Peri Arnold said Republican Gov. Mitt Romney's reliance on white voter support – exit polls showed 89 percent of Romney's total votes came from white voters – does not bode well for his party's future.
"That's a bad sign because we are quickly becoming a minority majority country, so the problem for Republicans that emerges is that they do very well in Oklahoma, so to speak, but Oklahoma is not the future of America," Arnold said. "The election seems to suggest kind of a remnant or older embodiment of the Republican Party in the largely white, largely older electorate."
Despite the breadth of the president's victory, Arnold said Obama's close national margin of victory reflects a "problem in American politics."
"There is a partisan cleavage in which Democrats have the advantage because their demography is the emerging national demography," Arnold said.
Davis and Arnold said the outcome of the election revealed the Republican Party's primary weakness in appealing to a broad electorate, as evidenced by the president's sweep of all battleground states except North Carolina.
But both professors said strengthening that weakness by 2016 will prove challenging.
"The real dilemma for the Republican Party … may be more than a matter of what kind of candidate they put forward," Arnold said. "It may be more of a deep cultural matter because the Republican Party is old, religious and white, which is not very appealing as America becomes less religious, less white and more diverse."
"It's one thing for people to suggest that the Republican Party needs to moderate and be less antagonistic, but … parties are made up of individuals, so it's really difficult for some authority to reframe what a party stands for and what it is," Davis said. "If the Republicans want the White House in 2016, there are things they need to do, but whether they can do it is a different story."
That party identity will also factor into the basic function of the government's legislative branch, Arnold said.
"We're still in a real pickle regarding governance because of the polarization of the parties and the Republican control of the House," he said. "The strategic problem for Obama is still figuring out how to do business with House Republicans."
Arnold said collaboration between Congress and the president will be necessary to address the nation's impending economic issues.
"The initial posture of the Republicans in the House is that they don't plan to be very flexible, especially in terms of a fiscal policy deal to avert the coming fiscal cliff, so that's cause for immediate worry," he said.
Continuing disagreements about marginal tax rates and the dramatic drop in the stock market over the past two days also raise questions about the ability of the government to cooperate on vital issues, Arnold said.
"Now that the election is over, what we really need to worry about is can this government govern and deal with our most central problems?" he said.
But Arnold said the president will likely be more flexible on policy in his second term without considering his prospects for reelection.
"Now that he's not facing reelection, you're going to find that Obama is more flexible than in his first term and willing to make deals if he can find Republicans willing to make deals with him," Arnold said. "But the Republicans in the House right now are so ideological that it will be a real challenge for him."
Despite that challenge, Davis said the reduction of pressure on Obama will impact the president's governing style.
"I think you're going to see a different Barack Obama in his second term. His presidential style and character are going to become more assertive and aggressive," Davis said. "He'll identify areas where he would like to have a substantial impact and focus on those things. He has to think in terms of his legacy."
But in order to become a more effective leader, Arnold said Obama must overcome his first-term weakness of failing to discuss his decisions with the American public.
"The presidency is an office of narrative and storytelling to the American people, explaining leadership and reasons behind choices, and Obama simply wasn't doing that. That was a really striking failure," he said. "Now that Obama seems to realize his weakness, I think we'll get a president who is more aware and more committed to the explanation of his leadership to the American people. Presidents are successful because they explain themselves well and have a narrative, not necessarily because of what's happening behind closed doors."
As the president transitions into his second term, Arnold said Obama must take care to consider the second-term precedent set by former Commanders-in-Chief.
"We as Americans and Obama as a second-term president ought to be wary of the historical pattern of traps and crises for second-term presidents," Arnold said. "More than anything else, it's a tendency towards overconfidence because they don't have to run again and got a mandated reelection, so presidents have over and over again acted in ways to suggest they think they can push boundaries."

A Houma man accused of stabbing his wife to death a year ago will stand trial sometime this year, prosecutors said.
A Houma man accused of stabbing his wife to death a year ago will stand trial sometime this year, prosecutors said.
Stanley Guidroz, 54, of Houma, stabbed his wife, Pepettra Guidroz, 47, multiple times as the two argued inside a car parked behind the Burger King at West Tunnel Boulevard and Polk Street, police have said.
Guidroz then drove his wife's 1999 Ford Mustang for several hours and more than 100 miles before confessing and surrendering to police in Zachary, a city 15 miles north of Baton Rouge.
After his Terrebonne trial concludes, Guidroz will be sent to Tacoma, Wash., to face allegations that he killed his toddler son in 1983.
Guidroz reported his son missing from a fishing trip at a Washington park in January of that year. He told authorities that he last saw his son playing with a young girl and a woman near the park's duck pond.
Guidroz said he took a walk with a man he believed to be the girl's father and returned to find Wallace, the girl and the woman gone. Search teams never found any sign of the toddler.
Washington investigators lost track of Guidroz after he returned to his native Louisiana in 1985, police said.
Wallace's disappearance is considered a homicide, and the boy was officially declared dead in June, detectives said.
Guidroz, who married Pepettra in 2003, is being held on a second-degree-murder charge in the Terrebonne Parish jail. His bond is set at $1 million. If convicted, he faces mandatory life in prison.
Terrebonne Assistant District Attorney Jay Luke, who is prosecuting Guidroz, said no trial date has been set but the plan is to hold it this year.
Guidroz's next court appearance is set for May 23. Judge Randy Bethancourt is scheduled to hear a defense motion that seeks to keep jurors from hearing Guidroz's statements to police.
Tacoma Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said the plan is to have Guidroz moved to Washington state after the Terrebonne trial concludes.
Tacoma Police cold-case investigator Gene Miller told The (Tacoma, Wash.) News Tribune in June that the department's investigation is over and it is now in the hands of prosecutors.
Miller traveled to Houma twice to interview Guidroz about Wallace's disappearance.
"After my trip to Louisiana, the investigation transitioned from a missing-person case to homicide case," Miller told The News Tribune.
While Tacoma Police haven't released details about what Guidroz said or whether he confessed to killing his son, the information sparked a search for Wallace's remains.
Detectives used cadaver dogs and ground-penetrating radar to search. In June, they dug holes in an area identified by Guidroz but didn't find any sign of Wallace's remains.
Miller consulted with a forensic anthropologist about whether Wallace's remains could be found at all. The anthropologist said it is unlikely, based on the type of soil, ground conditions, moisture and the boy's age.
Guidroz had long been considered a person of interest in Wallace's disappearance but had never been named a suspect.
No charges have been filed against Guidroz in Washington.
Grant Blinn, a Pierce County, Wash., prosecutor handling the case, said he "can't comment on pending investigations where no charges have been filed."
The News Tribune in Tacoma, Wash., contributed to this report. Staff Writer Eric Heisig can be reached at 857-2202 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @HeisigHCDC.

I love the way the beer makes the chicken very moist. (Alcohol evaporates while cooking). I season the chicken ahead of time so that the rub can soak into the chicken.
This recipe is a no salt added soup. If you want to add salt by all means do but I prefer to add mines to my bowl. Sometimes I squeeze some juice from a lemon to make it a little more tasty.
My favorite for a go to snack. Spread it on a pita with crumbled feta cheese. Yummy. I use the juice of a whole lemon to give it that extra little tart taste.
I made this for desert to eat with a 1/4 cup of greek yogurt to give me the feeling of eating something I shouldn't be eating. Great for breakfast with cereal, milk, and fruits also. With the splenda I used 1 cup but it wouldn't come up as that.
I eat this soup with either salad, a chicken salad or other type of sandwich on pita. Very low fat and very filling. Can be eating for lunch or dinner or just as an afternoon snack.
Ground Turkey, 1 unit, yield from 1 lb raw (remove)
Carrots, raw, 1 cup, chopped (remove)

This is a healthy green smoothie. Don't let the spinach in the recipe fool you it is very good and you can't even tast the vegie. Enjoy. I drink this for breakfast when I'm in a hurry in the am's
A wonderful low carb side for brown rice and/or chicken. Or great as a topper on any meat.

I Surrender
- (Duplicated CD)
- Artist: Ben Kirk
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 4/15/2014
|your cart is empty
Ben Kirk, born in Union City, TN, is a singer, songwriter called by God to lead worship. Growing up as the son and grandson of pastors, God's calling on his life became very evident at an early age and there was nothing Ben could do to get away from that still small voice. So at the age of twelve Ben accepted the call of God to the ministry. During his journey there have been many ups and downs but he has always held on the hand of God. When he travels to minister in song he urges everyone from the platform to the pew to live a Lifestyle of Worship. His belief is Upward in Worship, Inward in Commitment, and Outward in Evangelism. Currently Ben leads worship and ministers around the country. He's a person that is not afraid to get radical with his praise and is open to what the Lord would have him do. His first project entitled, "I Surrender" is touching hearts and lives all around and it inspires everyone that listens. One thing that people say about Ben is that he loves God, family, and He's a person of integrity. Recently the Lord spoke to his heart to start a Revolution of Worship anywhere and everywhere he goes. So are you ready for the Revolution? Currently he and his wife, along with their three children live in TN.

Hi folks,
This is not an emergency, but your help is still very appreciated. I'm a freelance copywriter and have a basic site that shows my work, divided by media - print, digital, tv, radio. Perhaps those divisions are a bit old fashioned? Mainly I'm looking for a WordPress theme that would show the work a bit bigger, in a more visually driven way than what I'm using right now - any recommendations? I also plan to write more 'story' around each piece. Thanks in advance! And if anyone would like me to critique their site in return then say the word.

Today's question about the Broncos comes from Sid Joshi:
Q: How does a draft board work? Do teams (specifically the Broncos) rank every player in the first round? Or do they give a range for every player? For example, since they are drafting at No. 25, will they pick a defensive tackle who they think should go between 20 and 30? If no good defensive tackle is available, will they pick for another position of need that matches their position in the draft?
A: Sid, the approach to the draft board can vary from team to team, and the number of players each team gives a "draftable" grade — players deemed worthy of a draft pick in a seven-round draft — can vary as well.
But, for the most part, prospects are graded as specifically as possible, usually on a numerical scale constructed by each team. A common scale is that a player with an 8.0 grade — on a scale of 10 — will be among the highest-ranked players on any draft board.
A 9.0 would be a lock Hall of Famer — something that isn't even really discussed most years — and a 10 unattainable. For example, the year Eli Manning and Robert Gallery came into the draft — 2004 — they were the only players with grades of at least 8.0 on the board from National Scouting following their final collegiate seasons.
National Scouting is one of the two major scouting services many NFL teams use to supplement their own scouting departments.
Every player eligible for the draft is then ranked by each team, usually with numerical grades down to the tenth — 7.8, 7.7, 7.6 and on down. Each team then slots those numerical grades to fit the draft to decide what picks would be worthy of a particular grade.
On a 10-point scale, usually something like a 5.5 is the borderline draftable grade, but again it can vary from team to team. The further you go down the board, the more players will have the same grade.
Fewer players will carry the same grades near the top because the teams usually find it easier to draw the line between the elite players, and there are always fewer elite players in each draft than role players.
The grades are usually comprised of three components — on-field production and two character components, football character (leadership, effort, relationship with coaches) and off-the-field character (drug tests, arrests, etc.).
The teams that routinely succeed year after year in the draft do not pass on a higher-graded player at a particular pick, especially at the top of the board, to draft for need. Also, the teams that have the discipline to trust their board, after the months of work they put into it, usually fare better.
Those are the teams that don't trade too much to move up and select a particular player who may not actually carry the grade worthy of the pick, but that the team simply wanted on the roster.
In 2009, in particular, the Broncos traded too often to move up and then select a player at least a round before his grade — tight end Richard Quinn was the most glaring example that year.
The Broncos, with Josh McDaniels as coach, also employed a "short-board" technique. Basically, teams that use the short board — the Patriots have used it in Bill Belichick's tenure — grade only the players they believe fit what they do.
So a short-board team may have only 90 to 130 players graded overall. It requires discipline to avoid reaching too much if there are no players on the team's board worthy of a particular picks when the team's turn comes around.
The Patriots trade quite a bit during a draft weekend, and that is often why: They are simply moving to where they have players graded instead of reaching.
But usually a team will have well over 300 players with draftable grades in a good year. They then stack, and restack, often right up to the draft, those picks from the best player on the board to the last draftable grade.
The players with the draftable grades who are not actually selected in the draft are the team's starting point when signing undrafted free agents.

Series: Inspector Banks
Part: 6
It was a crime of staggering inhumanity: a seven-year-old girl taken from her working class Yorkshire home by an attractive young couple posing as social workers. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks feels certain little Gemma Scupham is dead, yet the motive for her kidnapping remains a mystery. No ransom is ever demanded, nor could Gemma's tortured, guilt-ridden mother afford to pay one. And when the body of a young man is discovered in an abandoned mine, slain in a particularly brutal fashion, a disturbing, perplexing case takes an even more sinister twist -- drawing Banks into the sordid depths of an evil more terrible and terrifying than anything the seasoned investigator has ever encountered.

This year's Treasury market rally has been stronger than every economist surveyed by Bloomberg News predicted.
Ten-year yields that slid to 2.32 percent yesterday were lower than the levels projected by all 66 economists surveyed for their Sept. 30 forecasts. Even as the Federal Reserve scales back the bond-purchase program it has used to support the U.S. economy, Treasuries are drawing demand as yields in Europe fall to records amid speculation the European Central Bank will increase its efforts to cut borrowing costs. Fighting in Ukraine is spurring investor appetite for the safest securities.
"The bond market still has more room to rally," said Ali Jalai, a bond trader in Singapore at Scotiabank, a unit of Bank of Nova Scotia, one of 22 primary dealers that trade directly with the Fed. "The consensus is that the ECB will announce some sort of bond-buying program." In Ukraine, "it seems to be getting bigger and bigger every day," he said.
The U.S. 10-year yield was little changed at 2.34 percent at 6:59 a.m. in London, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. It has fallen from 3.03 percent at the end of 2013. The price of the 2.375 percent note maturing in August 2024 was 100 10/32.
The median forecast in the Bloomberg survey conducted Aug. 8 to Aug. 13 was for the benchmark to be 2.70 percent by the end of September, while the lowest prediction was 2.40 percent.
Yields are also less than the bottom forecast for year-end, which is 2.43 percent among 68 economists who responded.
Global Rally
From the U.S. to Asia and Europe, fixed-income securities of all types have gained 1.3 percent in August, the most since January as measured by Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Japan's 10-year bond yielded 0.495 percent, after falling to 0.485 percent yesterday, the lowest level since April 2013. Australia's declined to 3.29 percent, about one basis point away from this year's low. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
Europe's bond yields have tumbled to records after ECB President Mario Draghi said in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, last week that policy makers will use "all the available instruments needed to ensureprice stability" and are "ready to adjust our policy stance further." The ECB next meets on Sept. 4.
German (GDBR10) 10-year yields dropped to 0.866 percent and France's slid to 1.217 percent yesterday, both all-time lows.
Slowing Inflation
Economists say a report today will show euro-area inflation slowed in August to the lowest in almost five years.
Consumer prices increased 0.3 percent from a year ago, moderating from a 0.4 percent gain in July, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey before the European Union's statistics office releases the data.
The U.S. and European powers joined Ukraine in condemning what they said were incursions by Russia as the government in Kiev sought to counter an offensive by separatist rebels.
The Fed has reduced its monthly purchases of government and mortgage debt to $25 billion from $85 billion, and is on course to end the program this year.
Data today will show gains in personal income and spending slowed last month, while a measure of inflation held below the Fed's 2 percent target, Bloomberg economist surveys indicate. A separate report will show consumer confidence declined in August, according to analysts' projections.
Diam Co. sold debt in the Treasury market earlier in August, said Hajime Nagata, a money managerfor the company in Tokyo.
"It looks expensive," he said. "We prefer euro bonds." The company manages the equivalent of $135.6 billion.

The deadline is approaching for firearms maker Colt to move part of its operations to Osceola County. The Connecticut company agreed in 2011 to begin manufacturing weapons in a Kissimmee-area building, but has yet to do so.
It has until month's end to submit a report to the state, which contributed $250,000 in incentives. The county contributed another $300,000 to renovate its former Council on Aging building for Colt's use.

Middlesbrough To Bid £1.7m For Gomez?
Wales Online believe that Middlesbrough are set to bid £1.7m for midfielder Jordi Gomez.
The Espanyol youngster impressed during his season-long loan with the Swans and deservedly won the Supporters' Player of the Year award.
Southgate's side look set to join us in the Championship next season as they 3 points adrift of safety with just 1 game remaining.
With relegation looming, Middlesbrough are expecting to lose Stewart Downing and it's thought they want to bring in Gomez as his replacement.
Espanyol are willing to sell Gomez as they are lining up moves for 2 midfielders in the Summer - Oscar Ahumada and Javier Calleja as we reported earlier this week.
According to reports, a clause was written in Gomez's £200,000 loan move that a fee was agreed to make the transfer permanent this Summer. However, with a change of management at the La Liga club, Gomez could now be sold to the highest bidder, and it's unlikely that we can compete with Middlesbrough's spending capabilities.
Another factor to consider though is where Gomez wants to be next season. He enjoys playing for the Swans and he can see the potential here, will he risk that for a move to the Riverside?
What are your thoughts on this story? Do you think we'll sign Gomez this Summer? Have your say on our Message Forum here

Social Media 101
Facebook, the leader in social media, allows dealers to communicate with both current and potential customers on a more personal, casual level than traditional forms of media. However, to make Facebook a marketing tool, you need to do it right or don't do it at all.
Nothing is worse for your brand reputation than a stagnant Facebook page, so before you start, it's important to know the ground rules:
Your product is your advertisement. So, in your world, it's the latest promotions and/or events you are running at your dealership.
Give before you take. This means being genuinely engaged with your "fans" and/or "friends," focus on communicating on a social level rather than "in your face" marketing.
Be a connector. This is a big one. A connector is someone who takes the time to introduce (virtually through Facebook) two friends with common interests. Again, the effort needs to be genuine, done with no expectations from the parties you are connecting. This good deed will ultimately come back to you tenfold.
Think "touch" instead of "target." When it comes to Facebook, or any form of social media, directly marketing to an individual is frowned upon because this approach is considered an intrusion on personal space. Be friendly, but not pushy.
Nothing in life is free, including social media. Building your Facebook network takes time and energy, and the person you place in charge of this effort must be passionate about your industry. Don't hire an intern. Don't think you will do it yourself. Take the time and money to find the right person for the job, whether it is an internal staff member or a company specializing in dealer social media that can manage your brand image.
With the above best practices under your belt, you are ready to roll, but where to start? If you already have a Facebook page, make sure it's prominently displayed on your website. Ask your customers to "like" you on Facebook and provide a direct link to your Facebook page.
Another great way to promote your "page is to include it in your email newsletter. Let your customers know that you are on Facebook, and use your website, emails and even basic print marketing to spread the word.
I bet all of your staff members are on Facebook, so ask your team to "like" the dealership to help support and build your social community.
There are many different reasons why someone would "like" your business. It's not about the hard sell, it's about engaging and connecting to your customers.
Reasons to "Like" a page
Updates on current or upcoming dealer promotions and sales
To show their support and share their passion with others
To receive special coupons just for being a Facebook fan
To interact with other enthusiasts and share comments.

A two-year-old boy hears his mum's voice for the first time after his life-changing cochlear implants are switched on - and his reaction is adorable!
The cute clip shows Ryan Aprea sitting on mum Jennifer's lap while the implants are activated. When his mum cuddles him, saying "Hi, buddy!", he immediately starts to giggle as he finally hears his mum's voice.
Ryan had an operation last month to give him cochlear implants, which can transform the lives of people with certain kinds of deafness.
The degree of hearing which can be achieved varies according to the patient, so Jennifer and husband David did not know how their son would react when the implants were activated, which made his joyful reaction all the better.
"We went into the appointment not knowing if he would respond at all," Jennifer explained to Today. "Throughout this process, they had informed us that while sound would enter his brain, every child has a different response."
He may only be two years old, but Ryan has already proved himself to be a fighter. Born at just 25 weeks, he spent the first seven months of his life in a neonatal intensive care unit, where Jennifer and David were told that he was deaf and partially sighted.
Yet, as this video shows, his early ordeal hasn't affected his spirits and, now two, he is finally able to engage more with the world around him. Since the implants were switched on, Ryan has been enjoying exploring toys which make noises.
Even better, he will now be able to enjoy the family's yearly tradition of driving around the neighbourhood looking at Christmas displays while listening to festive hits.
Jennifer says that, even though the implants have only been on for a few days, the difference in Ryan's behaviour has been remarkable.
"He's been interacting with us and giving us more intentional eye contact just in the few days since he's had it turned on," she said. "My heart melts every single time he looks at me."

THE SOCIAL HUB SKYSCRAPER Maciej Trzciński, Paweł Kryński
Social networking is an inevitable part of our life and communicating. These services are fair and promising because we can stay in contact with literally everybody we know. Despite many advantages it is becoming obvious that it leads to multiple social problems.
First of all we have no doubts that our generation is a `texting generation. We lock ourselves in our homes, sit in front of our computers and chat with people. Sometimes, when it comes to real life, many people have problems with interpersonal communication.
We are becoming isolated from our surroundings. Not only from our families, but also from closest friends and neighbours.
Moreover this issue is also easy to notice on a wider look. Closed housing subdivisions create isolated societies all over the earth. Once built in a calm and quiet neighbourhood they change its image and divide people.
Going further –Usually we know the place where we live, work, study, etc. But have we ever felt the spirit of other places than these? In fact we know only little parts of our city defined by ourselves.
We wanted to create a network that gives an opportunity to change the place of your residence without leaving your house at the same time. Our project gives an opportunity for social groups to mix and stimulates users to meet new people and interact with each other. It allows families, closest friends and societies to unite and live together in multiple combinations. At once it is not only helping us getting better acquainted with the city we live in but it is also improving the tourism itself by not limiting us to one or two weeks holiday trips.
This network consist of series of skyscrapers settled all over the world in major cities, one per each district. These buildings are designed to carry thousands of modules whereas each one is a mobile house. Each module can be moved from the skyscraper that it is attached to another one in different district, city country or even continent depending on users' will. This is possible thanks to haulers which transport series of units. We think of it as a sort of a taxi, that is available on call. The rest of the moving process happens without users interference.
Streamline and organic form assure good aerodynamics and refer to theoretical qualities of this work – rapid changes, movement and fluent communication. The tower inside is a multilevel system of urban parks and plazas twining and interlacing with each other what provides huge amount of places for human interactions, meetings, parties or long walks. It is a one immense leisure area.
Each skyscraper is in a way an airport terminal, therefore we have located them near traffic junctions in the very central parts of urban areas. This particular location of an interactive structure creates new opportunities when it comes to developing land transportation routes and solutions as well as while improving the way in which the whole city functions.
We believe that our idea could slow down the issue suffered by societies of today's first world. We hope that our solution helps building social capital in a more efficient way and stops the communication pathology emerging in the youngest generation.
The theme of flying housing units and common small air transport reminds of scenes from science fiction movies. Being optimistic we might consider this idea to be the beginning of a new era where the public commuting in urban areas is lifted up above the ground level relieving streets full of traffics and crowd.

Gov. Bobby Jindal's frequent out-of-state fundraising junkets in 2010 paid off, according to his Feb. 15 filing with the Louisiana Ethics Administration. Jindal raised $3.4 million last year, an eyebrow-raising sum for a Republican governor with no Democratic challenger on the horizon. Jindal raised much of his money outside the state, yet he continues to insist he has no eye on higher office.
By comparison, Anh "Joseph" Cao, the former congressman who fought and lost a high-profile re-election campaign last fall against Cedric Richmond, raised only $2 million, while Richmond raised half that. The injection of funds brought Jindal's total war chest to $9.2 million for the Oct. 22 gubernatorial primary. The governor continues to raise money at every opportunity.
Meanwhile, one potential Jindal challenger piqued the interest of the press this week. State Senate President Joel Chaisson's finance report noted, under the category "Office Sought," three words: "a statewide office." Chaisson quickly told Politico he had no plans to run for governor this time around, though he didn't rule it out for the future. "There's some talk our governor may not serve a full term," Chaisson told Politico. "I have no illusions of doing it this fall for that seat. Our governor has a very large war chest." — Allman

On the five-year anniversary of 9/11, we mourn the victims of Islamic terrorism. But, we must not forget to thank the people who risk their lives every day to defeat the enemy and keep us safe. The men and women fighting on the front line in the new World War deserve our thanks, our respect, and our admiration. It's time to thank the American soldier. The American soldier fights for those who can't fight for themselves. The American soldier fights for what is right and decent.
In Chapter 6 of my new book, Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, my twelve-year-old son, Anthony, travels back in time to witness one of mankind's greatest conflicts: World War II. Anthony is with American soldiers on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He witnesses the fighting on Iwo Jima. He is with soldiers who liberate the Death Camps in Europe.
At the close of World War II, Anthony has a conversation with a young American soldier, who is on his way home from the war. That soldier is Audie Murphy. What Audie Murphy says about war and the American soldier is just as compelling today - in our post-9/11 world - as it was when he originally said it.
Here is Anthony's account of the conversation he had with Audie Murphy:
The Picture Frame transported me back to the beach in France, where I had witnessed the Allied invasion a year before. The beach was quiet, except for the rhythm of the waves crashing on the empty shore. There was no thunder in the sky, and there were no explosions in the sand. The water was blue, not red. The pillboxes on the bluff were silent and empty. Bullets did not rain down from above. There was nothing disturbing the small birds that hopped along the shore, looking for food.
In the warm late afternoon sun, I walked up a dusty trail from the beach to the top of the bluff - a path that Allied soldiers had walked on D-Day. It was hard to believe that what I had seen on the beach just a year before had actually happened. The fields of tall grass above the beach carried the evidence that it had, though: Row after row of wooden crosses lined the countryside as far as I could see. Like the beads on a giant abacus that had been laid down on its side, the crosses were the final tally of the high price of freedom and the cost of fighting evil.
I knelt in the tall grass and prayed for the souls that the crosses represented. I could hear their voices in the gentle ocean breeze: "When you go home, tell them of us, and say: For your tomorrow, we gave our today."
Standing among some crosses farther down the shoreline, I saw a young American soldier. I walked over to him. His uniform was covered with medals. He wore the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the French Croix de Guerre, the Medal of Liberated France, and more than a dozen others. He told me that his name was Audie Murphy, that he was a 2nd Lieutenant, and that he was returning soon to his home in Texas. He was twenty-one years old, he said, but a tired look in his eyes made him seem older to me.
I told Lieutenant Murphy what the Picture Frame had shown me - what I had seen of the war. I told him how different real war was from "playing army" with my friends back home. Lieutenant Murphy said that war was not at all the way he had imagined it, either, when he was a boy.
He said: "I was on a faraway battlefield, where bugles blew, banners streamed, and men charged gallantly across flaming hills; where the temperature always stood at eighty and our side was always victorious; where the dying were but impersonal shadows and the wounded never cried; where enemy bullets always miraculously missed me, and my trusty rifle forever hit home."
Lieutenant Murphy turned away and looked out over the channel. The late afternoon sun looked like a bright orange disc burning just above the water at the horizon. It sent streaks of light across the darkening sky.
"I have seen war as it actually is," Lieutenant Murphy said, "and I do not like it."
Lieutenant Murphy and I walked together on the bluff, following the contours of the rugged coastline. We stopped every now and then to look out at the point where the sun was disappearing from the sky. We didn't talk very much. I broke one of the long silences between us when I asked Lieutenant Murphy if the war had changed him. I asked him whether fighting monsters had made him into a monster himself.
He replied: "When I was a child, I was told that men were branded by war. Has the brand been put on me? Have years of blood and ruin stripped me of all decency? Of all belief? ... Not of all belief. I believe in the force of a hand grenade, the power of artillery, the accuracy of a Garand. I believe in hitting before you get hit, and that dead men do not look noble. ... But I also believe in ... all the men who stood up against the enemy, taking their beatings without whimper and their triumphs without boasting. The men who went and would go again to hell and back to preserve what our country thinks right and decent."
I thought that Lieutenant Murphy's words were remarkable because, in his time, it was never obvious that the forces of good would triumph over the forces of evil. Satan had arranged a nearly even match. In my time, things are different: The forces of good clearly have the power to prevail over the forces of evil - it's only the will to do what is necessary to win that is in doubt. People demand endless negotiation with the Hitlers of my time, limited responses to brutal attacks, and quick exits from the fi elds of battle. They whimper that the smallest sacrifices are too much to bear, too expensive, and too inconvenient. They seem to be angry that their daily routine has been disrupted, not that the foes of freedom are on the march. In my time, the men and women who risk the supreme sacrifice to fight for what is right seem fewer and farther between. Their character seems more rare, less appreciated, and even mocked.
As the last bit of the sun dipped below the horizon, and the final streaks of red light faded from the sky, I wondered what Lieutenant Murphy would do with the rest of his life, now that the war was over. I wondered what the future held for him.
"What will you do now?" I asked.
"I will go back. I will find the kind of girl of whom I once dreamed. I will learn to look at life through uncynical eyes, to have faith, to know love. I will learn to work in peace as in war. And finally - finally, like countless others, I will learn to live again."
Excerpt from ANTHONY AND THE MAGIC PICTURE FRAME, by Michael S. Class. The quotes of Audie Murphy are from TO HELL AND BACK, by Audie Murphy, and are reprinted by permission of the Audie Murphy Research Foundation and the Estate of Audie Murphy.
Audie Murphy was the most decorated American soldier of World War II, having received twenty-one medals, including the Nation's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor. Audie Murphy received every decoration for valor that the United States offered, some of them more than once, plus five decorations by France and Belgium. Murphy fought in campaigns in Sicily, Italy, France, and Germany.
In 1955, Audie Murphy's autobiography, To Hell and Back, was made into a movie of the same name, starring Audie Murphy as himself. In the film, Murphy reenacted the event for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Later, when American soldiers were returning from Korea and Vietnam with "battle fatigue," Audie Murphy spoke out publicly about his own bouts of depression caused by the psychological after-effects of war. Murphy asked the U.S. Veterans Administration to study the syndrome that is now called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Audie Murphy married twice, and had two children by his second wife, Pamela Archer.
Audie Murphy died in a plane crash on May 28, 1971, while on a business trip. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and his gravesite is one of the most visited.
Audie Murphy was an American hero.

Peppermint Patty
Seven years old
Falabella Horse
Georgia, USA
his is my pony, Peppermint Patty. I call her Peppermint or Pep for short. I have had her since November 29, 2011. Her favorite treats are sugar cubes, apples and peppermints. She is a Falabella pony - a Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of horse anywhere, seldom taller than eight hands (78 cm or 32 inches) in height at the withers. She shares the pasture with my stallion Del and my other pony Pixie.
She is special to me though because she is sweet and nice. She is my second pony I have ever had. She cheers me up when I am sad. She loves people, she will walk up to anyone. She is going to have a foal some time next year, probably in March. She shakes hands and jumps two feet, which is a lot for a little pony like her! She also lunges. She tries talking to me, too. She does not like lights being flashed in her eye. I love her a lot.

Public hearings have been scheduled on two measures Jackson County commissioners plan to refer to the May 2014 ballot creating districts to support libraries and the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center.
Public hearings have been scheduled on two measures Jackson County commissioners plan to refer to the May 2014 ballot creating districts to support libraries and the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center.
Public hearings for the Extension proposal are set for Jan. 8 and Jan. 29 at the Jackson County Courthouse Auditorium. Public hearings for the library measure are set for Feb. 12 and March 5.
If approved by voters, the library proposal would cost property owners 60 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. That's $120 a year on a $200,000 house. The tax would generate about $9 million a year, eliminating the need for support from the county general fund and restoring hours to pre-2007 shutdown levels, supporters said.
The service district to fund the Extension would tax homeowners between 2 and 5 cents for every $1,000 of assessed value, or between $4 and $10 annually for someone who owns a $200,000 home. That would raise between $321,000 and $804,000 a year, which would pay for new positions such as a 4-H program assistant, Master Gardener and land-steward coordinators, an office assistant, and a property and building manager. Supplies and materials, maintenance and county fair judges and prizes, now paid for by the county, also would be covered by the new funds.
All 11 Jackson County cities have agreed to let their communities be included in the vote for the special districts.
"We do have all of the petitions," Jackson County Commissioner John Rachor said.
Following April 2013 budget hearings, when the county labored to close a $6.7 million funding gap, officials decided that 14 of the 15 library branches — all but Medford's — would close during the 2014-15 fiscal year unless alternative funding sources could be found. The Medford library would close during the 2015-16 fiscal year, they said.
Maureen Swift, who is involved in helping organize an educational campaign, said she thinks the library measure has a shot, but she said a lot of work needs to be done.
"People seem to be a little bit more cognizant of the danger of having libraries close, possibly because they've lived through it all once," Swift said, referring to a six-month shutdown of all county libraries in 2007.
"We're still hopeful."
"I don't think it's a slam dunk," Extension Director Phil Van Buskirk said of the extension proposal. "I think we have a lot of work to do to really educate the community as to what we do."
Without the funding, the Extension would likely close by the next fiscal year, Van Buskirk said.
"It could be a do-or-die situation," he said.

A United States court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Sikh group against Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the anti-Sikh riots case, granting her motion that there is lack of subject matter jurisdiction but did not bar the group from bringing litigation against her in future.
In a 13-page order, US District Judge Brian Cogan granted Gandhi's motion to dismiss the complaint filed by Sikhs for Justice for "lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim". He, however, denied the request by Gandhi that the court should impose an 'anti-suit injunction' prohibiting SFJ from bringing further lawsuits.
Responding to the order, Gandhi's attorney Ravi Batra said that justice has been "well served" as SFJ's "ill-conceived, meritless publicity-case" has been dismissed.
SFJ and the other plaintiffs in the case had alleged that Gandhi's conduct towards the perpetrators caused the victims, survivors and the Sikh community serious pain and suffering. Batra hoped that SFJ would drop the case and not seek to appeal in a higher court.
In April, a separate judge had dismissed a similar human rights violation lawsuit filed against the Congress party by SFJ in the anti-Sikh riots case saying the group has no legal standing to file such a suit and events that do not "touch and concern" the US will not be heard in an American court.
Cogan held, as argued by Batra, that SFJ can never be a plaintiff under the Alien Torts Statute or a Torture Victim Protection Act in any US court. The order puts "SFJ out of the publicity-lawsuit business, where reputations are toyed with and genuine victims' expectations falsely raised," Batra said.
Cogan ruled that SFJ lacks standing to sue anyone under the ATS or TVPA, and the court does not know if SFJ has any members, beyond its 'self-proclaimed' status as a representative. He held that the court cannot conclude that there is even a relationship between SFJ and the Sikh community.
The court added that it cannot consider Gandhi to be personally liable based upon the allegations of extrajudicial killings or torture when she only became Congress president in 1998, more than a decade after the 1984 riots.

The beacon of spring in these parts is undoubtedly the native dogwood. But, because of disease problems, especially dogwood anthracnose, people are seeking alternatives to Cornus Florida. There are other notable dogwoods like Cornus kousa and Cornus mas, but look beyond the dogwood for small, spring-flowering landscape trees that prove to have interest well into summer.
Consider the Carolina silverbell (halesia) and the fringe tree (chionanthus).

VIENNA - Austria's Olympic Committee has received a letter threatening to kidnap two Austrian athletes at the Games that start this week in Sochi, Russia, the Austria Press Agency reported on Tuesday, citing national committee head Peter Mennel.
He was confirming a report by the Krone newspaper that a letter, apparently from Russia, had arrived with the threat of abducting slalom ski star Marlies Schild and skeleton athlete Janine Flock. A committee spokeswoman confirmed to Reuters it had got such a letter but gave no names.
Islamist militants have threatened attacks during the Games in Sochi, which lies on the western edge of the mainly Muslim North Caucasus.

At 512M on a single node machine, therecommended min_free_kbytes is close to 10% of memory which is barelytolerable as it is. At 256M, it's 17%, at 128M, it's 34% so tuning thevalue lower has diminishing returns as the performance impact of givingup such a high percentage of free memory is not going to be offset byreduced TLB misses. Tuning it to a higher value might make some senseif the higher min_free_kbytes was a problem but it would be much morerational to tune it as a sysctl than making it a compile-time decision.-- Mel GormanSUSE Labs

Today I stumbled upon a software utility that will read the minidump and show what was loaded when the crash occured. It will also list what driver(s) or module(s) are most likely the cause of the crash. I did not have a minidump to test with so I used the minidump that Perris posted in the thread located here. On that file I had used the Microsoft Debugger and the result had been that bcmwl6.sys was most likely the crash reason. As you can see in the image, BlueScreenView came up with the same result.
