DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team could have scored on every offensive possession Saturday and it still might not have mattered.
The Wildcats couldn't stop Towson in a 64-35 loss at Cowell Stadium that ruined their chance to clinch their first outright CAA title.
Now they'll have to wait for the results of a complex tiebreaker to see who gets the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
The 20-team field will be revealed this afternoon at 1:30 on ESPNU.
"We've got to regroup, come back (today) and see what (today) brings," said UNH coach Sean McDonnell. "Hopefully we get another opportunity. I think we should. I think we're one of the top 20 teams in the country."
The Tigers played like the more desperate team, knowing they had to win or their season was over.
The No. 7 Wildcats (8-3, 6-2 CAA), who were trying to clinch a league title at home for the first time since 1975, were outscored 35-7 in the second half as the defense couldn't get off the field.
"I don't think I was tired," said senior linebacker Alan Buzbee, "but in terms of disappointment it was way worse. On senior day at home with an opportunity to win a conference championship and they put up (64) on you is not a good feeling."
Losing for just the second time in the last 24 home games, UNH surrendered 660 total yards, including 433 on the ground, and 31 first downs.
"When you have a running game like that, you can do things off it like play action," Buzbee said. "We probably missed 30 tackles, and when you do that against an offense like that you're going to get embarrassed like we did."
The Tigers had to punt only once early in the fourth quarter and leading 43-28.
No. 19/16 Towson (7-4, 6-2 CAA), which has won four in a row, held the ball almost twice as long as UNH, which managed only 95 total yards in the second half.
"We were shooting ourselves in the foot in the second half," said offensive guard Chris Zarkoskie. "We couldn't execute and it showed in the second half. We couldn't get anything done."
The Wildcats, who had a six-game win streak and a 10-game home streak snapped, trailed 30-28 at halftime.
Quarterback Andy Vailas scored on a 77-yard run on the game's first play from scrimmage and Steven Thames returned a blocked field goal 65 yards on the last play of the first half.
In between it was all Towson, which came away with points on its first five possessions of the game.
The Tigers also scored on their first drive of the second half to squelch any momentum the Wildcats might have gained from Thames's return of Jared Smith's block.
"First drive of the second half was huge," McDonnell said. "They go right down and score and we never got in a rhythm again offensively."
Vailas rushed for 110 yards and ran for two scores. His 9-yard TD run late in the first quarter and two-point conversion pass to Joey Orlando tied the game at 14.
Towson, however, scored the next 16 points to open up a 30-14 lead.
An 18-yard touchdown pass from Vailas to tight end Brian Ciccone with 3:52 left in the second quarter and the return by Thames sent UNH into the locker room on a high.
The Wildcats quickly fell to earth as Towson opened the second half with 27 unanswered points to lead 57-28.
"They ran it," McDonnell said. "They threw it. They blitzed us. They tackled us. They did a lot of things better than us."
The Tigers scored six rushing TDs, including two by Terrance West, who finished with 236 yards on 19 carries.
Towson QB Grant Enders threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for two scores.
The Tigers held UNH to 141 yards passing and forced three turnovers, turning two into immediate touchdowns.
"Very disappointed to say the least," McDonnell said. "Never in my wildest (dreams) did I think it would go the way it did today. But it did, and those things happen."
Towson too much for Wildcats to handle
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team could have scored on every offensive possession Saturday and it still might not have mattered.

VMware anchors hypervisor future on 'nebulous phrase'
Clouds and thundersticks
Virtualization heavyweight VMware has embraced what even its own CEO calls a "nebulous phrase": the cloud.
On Tuesday morning, VMware rolled out its giant-computer enabler, the vSphere virtualization hypervisor and management tools collection, at a raucous event at its Palo Alto, California headquarters.
How raucous? Picture a thousand identically blue-shirted VMware employees banging blue thundersticks to punctuate key moments in the presentation by Paul Maritz, VMware's president and CEO, and Steve Herrod, the company's CTO.
Maritz and Herrod - who performed an impressive set of demos - were joined by an equally impressive supporting cast, including John Chambers, chairman and CEO of Cisco; Pat Gelsinger, SVP and general manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group; James Mouton, SVP and CTO of HP's Technology Solutions Group; Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of the eponymous hardware company; and VMWare's nattily dressed chairman - and EMC's chairman, president, and CEO - Joseph Tucci.
Those noise-making employees were understandably stoked to celebrate vSphere's launch. According to Maritz, the development effort involved 1,000 engineers in 14 worldwide locations who worked on this upgrade of VMware Infrastructure 3 for a combined three million engineering hours.
vSphere's speed, feeds, and specs are an impressive step up from Infrastructure 3. And if its management tools work as seamlessly in the real world as they did in the event's demos, VMWare's new "private cloud" strategy has a good chance of fulfilling what Maritz called its "revolutionary" potential and what Tucci proclaimed to be "a platform of transformation."
Three demos in particular stood out during the 90-minute event. The first showcased what Herrod called vSphere's "shadow virtual machine" manager, VMware Fault Tolerance. The second demonstrated the storage maintenance and migration technology called VMware Storage VMotion. And the third gave a hint of what it's like to work at VMware.
Automated fault tolerance had first been demoed by VMware two years ago as a proof of concept, but as Herrod put it, "Not all of us thought we would get to this day." vSphere's VMware Fault Tolerance scheme works by duplicating all the processes running in a virtual machine (VM) by creating an exact replica of the first VM running on separate hardware. And "exact," Herrod explained, means "every instruction, every memory access, every single piece of I/O."
The two VMs thus operate in exact lock-step, though only one of them is visible to the outside world. If that visible system goes down, VMware Fault Tolerance will cut over to the shadow VM without any IT-management assistance and without any services being provided by that system being interrupted. In other words, VMware Fault Tolerance may obviate the need for fault-tolerant hardware.
In Herrod's demo - which was of a BlackBerry Enterprise Server feeding emails from Dick Chaney, Sarah Palin, and First Dog Bo to a faux Obama Blackberry - the source VM was running on a Dell blade server. Turning on the shadow VM was a two-click affair, after which VMware Fault Tolerance cloned the source VM over to another blade.
The demo used a mere 4GB storage partition, and so the cloning took only about 30 seconds. During the cloning period, the source VM continued to operate the Blackberry Enterprise Server.
To demonstrate VMware Fault Tolerance's effectiveness, an employee impersonating a Secret Service agent - it's Obama's BlackBerry, remember - simply unplugged the blade upon which the source VM was running and pulled it out of its rack. Without missing a beat that anyone in the hall could detect, the cloned VM took up immediately where the source VM had left off. Then, after the cloned VM had become the primary VM, it immediately looked for free resources on other hardware and cloned itself into another shadow VM - all without human interaction.

WW PHILLY '08: Marvel - Your Universe
After starting off with a round of Marvel Hangman hosted by Dan Slott, Secret Invasion Editor Tom Brevoort welcomed the crowd to the "last Marvel panel...ever" (he was joking). He explained that, like DC's panel earlier in the day, the panel is a chance to interact with fans "just chatting about comics, chatting about stuff we all like." Brevoort was joined by Slott, Molly Lazer, and C.B. Cebulski.
Brevoort led off the panel by asking, "In general, do you like what we're doing now?" A fan started by complaining about Joe Quesada's recent comments that he's not a fan of high fantasy or sci-fi. "Right now," he said, "your entire writing stable comes from hard-boiled crime writing." Brevoort countered that it's good to publish a variety of books with a variety of tones. "Joe's good about not letting his tastes dictate the direction of everything." In the same vein, another fan asked for a new Silver Surfer book, stating that "he likes knowing that there's a bigger sandbox out there." In explanation, Brevoort said that in a way, the Surfer's story has already had a resolution - he was able to leave Earth.
"What other characters do you like that we're not doing stuff with?" Brevoort asked the room. A venerable fan suggested that the Marvel Earth be destroyed with "a galactic adventure about rebuilding what was lost."
"I don't know that we'll be blowing up America tomorrow...."
From the back of the room came a suggestion for a return for Typhoid Mary - which quickly segued into criticism of Brand New Day. Dan Slott confirmed that the marriage has truly been undone, "or else every time he's with a woman, he's committing adultery." The mention of BND - which Slott is quick to distance from the story before it - produces a rumble from the crowd.
Regarding Wolverine, there was some positive feedback about Marc Guggenheim's recent move to reduce his power level. C.B. Cebulski explained that Astonishing X-Men has always been in continuity, just over a very short frame of time. Discussing continuity, Brevoort said that "lockstep continuity" doesn't work, but that it's something fans seem to want. "It's a tough thing to plan," he said in regard to respecting continuity on a tight publishing schedule. "Who likes late comics?" Brevoort asked, and Slott (who has been notorious for his lateness) raises the only hand. Of course, this led a fan to comment on Daredevil: Target, and Brevoort saying, "Yeah, we hate it when that happens, too." Ultimately, he says, a really good comic will be read in trade for years to come, citing the ever-popular "nobody remembers that Watchmen was late," argument.
The next question from Brevoort: "How many of you have stopped reading comics and why?" Most of the room had stopped at some point, and several fans discussed what drove them away and what made them return. Not surprisingly, many fans left during the market oversaturation of the mid-90s.
Cebulski told an anecdote about buying comics as a child at the five and dime next to his barber. Slott spoke about seeing Spider-Man at a 7-11 signing comics. "They were riding down the freeway with a guy in a Spider-Man costume standing in the back of the truck," he laughs, citing it as the moment that hooked him on the comics hobby. "He just wrote 'Spiderman;' he didn't remember the dash," leading to a discussion of books that the audience loves. The fans run the gamut, talking about popular, obscure and even very recent issues.
Former Thunderbolts assistant editor Molly Lazer spoke about her first Spider-Man comic - "It scared the bejeezus out of me." She noted that the issue had a hologram cover, leading to the next question.
"Who," Brevoort asked, "was enticed into comics by an enhanced cover?" "We should do more of those!" Slott kidded after a good number of hands are raised.
Discussion turned to the number (and quality) of X-Men books, both now and in the past. Brevoort noted that Marvel publishes books that don't cross over into other titles, like Astonishing X-Men, for fans who prefer standalone books.
When asked about the Ultimate Universe, the response from the audience was overwhelmingly positive, with the caveat that the universe stay self-contained and relatively close-knit.
A very energetic fan explained his love about Marvel Zombies: "I love that the heroes are so bad that they eat their wives."
CB asked if letters pages should come back, and the response is a roar of applause.
Brevoort's last question was "We hear a lot on the net about problems with big events, but then they become some of the best selling comics we have." Respondents pointed out that 'event fatigue' isn't due to the events themselves, but the copious amount of tie-in issues that they create. "I know we say this at every panel, but we don't force people to do tie-ins that they don't want to do," Brevoort said, citing Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four as a miniseries that came about because Mark Millar and Brian Hitch did not want to write a tie-in to the crossover. Brevoort also notes that Captain Britain and MI 13 has gotten a boost in visibility because the new series launches out of the event.
With the panel going over time, the panel took one last comment. The commenter complained that heroes, who are supposed to be the smartest characters in the world, are frequently blindsided. A debate broke out among the audience about whether or not the hubris of the Illuminati is greater than their intelligence. With that, Brevoort bids everybody a good day and wraps up the panel.

Germany's Audi is bracing for long stagnation in Europe, though trusts that continued growth in China will help offset slumping auto demand in its core region, its CEO said on Saturday.
It will take at least three to five years until European countries will have fully overcome their debt problems, Rupert Stadler told reporters at the Shanghai auto show.

By contrast, China's passenger car market could in future grow to 20 or 25 million autos per year from about 12 or 13 million, also boosting business of premium manufacturers, the CEO said.
"Audi keeps growing," Stadler said, declining to be more specific. The VW-owned brand will "soon" increase dealerships in the world's biggest car market to about 500 from 300, sales chief Luca der Meo added.

More than a third of 16- and 17-year-olds in the South East are so anxious that they have suffered sleepless nights in the last year, according to new research from The Children's Society.
The research, published on Friday (June 26), said 39 per cent of 16- and 17-year-olds in the region frequently feel anxious and 77 per cent say they have felt judged simply for being a teenager.
The figures, based on an opiniun poll of more than 1,000 16- and 17-year-olds across the UK, are being released to coincide with the launch of The Children's Society's new report, Seriously Awkward.
The survey found that, nationally, 25 per cent of 16- and 17-year-olds say they often feel sad, and one in four say they do not feel optimistic about the future. The concern is mirrored among parents, with 70 per cent saying that life is tougher for their teenagers than it was for them.
The Children's Society said its new Seriously Awkward campaign highlights the huge challenges that 16- and 17-year-olds face. It added that they are more likely to go missing or be a victim of violent crime than any other age group, as well as also being at a high risk of sexual exploitation and domestic violence.
The organisation said it is lobbying for a change in the law to protect children aged 16 and 17 from abuse and neglect, and ensure that support services, such as Child and Adolescent Mental Health services, always treat them as children and offer them support when they need it.
The Children's Society said an estimated half a million 16- and 17-year-olds across the UK face particular risk of harm because they are already dealing with multiple issues such as poverty, poor health or a lack of supportive relationships.
Matthew Reed, chief executive of The Children's Society, said: "This research reveals that a generation of teenagers are being let down by society. Many are struggling with a range of issues but are dismissed as resilient enough to cope, and denied the same legal protection and services as younger children.
"For the most vulnerable teenagers, those suffering from abuse, neglect and homelessness, and mental health issues, the future can be even more bleak. All children including those aged 16 and 17 should feel safe and supported and that's why we're urgently calling on the Government to change the law to protect all 16- and 17-yea- olds from abuse and neglect, provide better services to support them, and offer special protection for those who are most vulnerable."

From the multivitamins in the cabinet to the protein powder in a workout drink, products of the dietary supplement industry are everywhere. Most people know there are looser regulations for dietary supplements, or nutraceuticals, than for drugs. But few know what goes into getting these products on the shelf.
The current rules on dietary supplements date back to 1994, when the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) was put into place. Under the DSHEA, the manufacturer has the responsibility to ensure product safety before going to market. Unless the product contains a new dietary ingredient—any ingredient not in use by 1994—the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not need to approve products. The FDA does regulate the claims nutraceutical companies make and can act if they make misleading claims or put out unsafe products.
A few local companies say there are businesses that give everyone a bad name by rushing poor products to the shelf to capitalize on trends. But many supplement companies do extensive testing to ensure their products work in the way they are intended.
The R&D Process
"I think there's an ethical responsibility to do some kind of research to prove that what you designed does something useful," says Brett West, director of Noni benefits research at Tahitian Noni. "Anyone can put a product out in three months, but it doesn't mean it's effective because a lot of that is based off of others' research."
Agel's Noah Westerlund agrees. Agel usually takes anywhere from a year to two years to get a new product on the market. Most of that time is spent on research.
Westerlund, vice president of marketing, says the research department begins with a health problem, like joint pain. After identifying the target of the supplement, they look at the ingredient list approved by the FDA and what ingredients show promise in solving the problem. Then the research and development department goes to work testing different formulas, ultimately making sure they're safe and effective by looking at blood absorption levels and symptom changes.
Tahitian Noni's process is similar. The company generally goes through a three-part process: in vitro, lab research; in vivo, pre-clinical safety studies; and human clinical trials. While none of those steps are required in the United States for most products, West says it is both the responsible thing to do and required by many markets outside the country, like the European Union.
"You can turn around things as fast as a couple months if you want, but the problem we face is we're not just bringing products to market in the United States. We operate in 60 different countries," Westerlund says. "To be frank, getting a product on the shelf in the U.S. is not that difficult… But we don't want to just put a product on the shelf. We want to make sure it works."
Research and development can be an expensive process. Both men say they cannot disclose exact figures, but research is a significant part of the company's budget. West says Tahitian Noni has spent millions of dollars on research, adding the safety testing required to sell in the European Union is extensive. Westerlund says research and development is the second-largest segment of Agel's budget.
Doing Homework
For consumers, sorting through the various products, ingredients and health claims to find the right supplement can be daunting. Westerlund advises consumers to read product labels, look up unfamiliar ingredients and use PubMed to look up scientific studies. By doing such research, consumers can avoid wasting money on poor products.
In the early days of Tahitian Noni, the company was focused on obtaining patents. As the company has grown, West says it has seen the benefit in publishing peer-reviewed research. It gives consumers more information and helps them make smarter choices. It also separates the company from others in the crowded nutraceutical industry.
Looking for published research, both from the company and third parties, is a good way to avoid ineffective products with filler ingredients, agrees Westerlund.
West says, "There's a lot that's divulged in a label, especially in terms of quantities. If there are an extremely large number of ingredients, odds are there's too little of anything to make a difference. If two dozen or 18 ingredients are listed, that indicates there's probably too little of anything."
Another thing smart consumers should keep an eye on is the claims on the label. Less rigorous companies sometimes don't see the point in testing because supplement companies cannot make claims designated as drug claims, Westerlund says.

Just two days after losing Melvin Ingram to a torn ACL, the San Diego Chargers have made a move to bring in additional depth at the linebacker position.
The Chargers announced Thursday they have signed former Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Keiser. Keiser was waived by the Panthers on Monday.
Ingram suffered a torn ACL during offseason workouts on Tuesday and has to be considered a long-shot at best to play this season for the Chargers. Keiser showed promise as a rookie with the Panthers in 2011. He recorded four sacks and an interception in just eight games played. Keiser appeared in just four games last season before tearing ligaments in his elbow and landing on injured reserve.
In addition to Keiser, the Chargers are also looking into Dwight Freeney as a possible replacement for Ingram.

Greek Salad with Marinated Onions and Oregano
Greek Salad with Marinated Onions and Oregano
(Makes 2 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
Ingredients for Marinated Onions:
1 medium Vidalia onion
2 T extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving if needed
1 T balsamic vinegar, plus more for serving if needed
Ingredients for Salad:
2-3 small cucumbers (I used mini-cucumbers from Costco)
3-4 small tomatoes
8-10 pitted Kalamata Olives
1 T chopped fresh oregano (or more)
(If you only have dried oregano, add 1 tsp. with the dressing ingredients when you assemble the salad.)
1/4 cup crumbled Feta cheese (or more)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
About 4-8 hours before serving the salad, peel onion and slice thinly. Separate onion into rings and put in small ziploc bag. Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pour into bag. Let onions marinate in refrigerator until ready to assemble the salad.
After onions have marinated for desired time, remove from refrigerator and drain the dressing into a small bowl. (I do this by opening one end of the ziploc bag and holding it over the bowl while tipping the bag.) Taste dressing and add more olive oil and balsamic vinegar if needed, whisking into dressing.
Wash cucumbers and cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick. (Larger cucumbers will need to be cut in half and if you don't have small cucumbers you may also need to peel them.) Cut tomatoes into halves, then cut each half into fourths to make eight pieces. Wash oregano and chop with chef's knife.
In large mixing bowl, toss together marinated onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Toss with desired amount of dressing. Sprinkle with oregano and crumble Feta cheese over salad. Arrange on two plates, season with fresh-ground black pepper, and serve immediately.

South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
Salad like this is perfect for any phase of the South Beach diet and most other low-carb eating plans. For a school-night dinner, I'd eat this as an entire meal. If you wanted to use the salad as a side-dish for a low-carb meal, you could serve this with something like Kalyn's Souvlaki and Grilled Zucchini.

EclipseLink Incubation
The (proposed) Incubation component of EclipseLink allows new functionality and prototypes to be developed in isolation of the shipped components and does not affect the regular build/test processes. Each incubation sub-component will exist on its own and will be developed in association with an open bug or enhancement request.
Current Incubation Sub-Components
|SVN Location
|200045 Dynamic Persistence
Incubation Process Guidelines
The development of incubation sub-components is intended to allow rapid innovation of ideas independent of the main development while still conforming to the Eclipse development and IP rules.
Creating a new Incubation Sub-Component
In order to create a new incubation sub-component the following steps should be followed:

JAWA's Defense, Employees and Intimidation
I'm amazed that to this day, I still haven't seen a single journalist in Arizona write about the JAWA lawsuit and the incredibly lucrative, large text message scams.
AZ Disruptors is a site about software startups in Arizona, not about covering scams, but in the absence of the Arizona Republic and the Phoenix Business Journal actually doing some investigative reporting, I'm picking up their slack. I'm not sure why they're not covering this -- I've been in contact with virtually every local news vendor in the valley.
Anyway, yesterday, JAWA filed their counterclaim to Verizon's suit. It's quite a fun read. Lets break it down, shall we:
This is absolutely awesome and incredible insight. First, JAWA seems to be arguing that because they have 240 employees, somehow, the judge should consider that as part of their argument.
That's like Enron arguing "we have 30,000 employees at Enron..."
Then it gets better. In fact, it gets really good. They assert that they have been doing business with Verizon for 4 years and Verizon's share of the revenues (30% in this case) has been worth $30 Million since 2008. WOW! That means JAWA's share of the revenues JUST FROM VERIZON for the past 2 years has been over $70 Million!
That's worth repeating. $70 Million in revenues just from 1 of the 4 major cell phone carriers.
I know it seems impossible, but it gets even better! In another part of the counterclaim, JAWA claims:
In this part, they claim that the aggregators are withholding approximately $19 Million from JAWA. This is money the cell phone companies have already billed customers, but have not yet paid to JAWA. However, the aggregators apparently don't pay the content providers (Jawa, etc.) for approximately 90 days after the service is provided.
This is probably why AT&T was willing to give me back a 3 month refund -- but not more -- without a bigger fight. If that is in fact the case, the $19 million being withheld from JAWA's represents revenue for the past 90 days. At a $19 Million per 90-day run-rate, that puts JAWA's revenues at approximately $76 Million per year (assuming no growth) from the US alone.
But, that might be a low estimate, because in another part of the JAWA Counterclaim, JAWA indicates that "JAWA's revenues generated by customers of Verizon approximated $75 Million during the past twelve months."
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking it can't get better than that, right? Just wait, there's more! JAWA also claims, "Verizon has willingly accepted and retained the profits over the last four years from what it now describes as a 'criminal enterprise' even though, during this time, it audited these practices."
Wow! That sounds a lot like JAWA is saying Verizon is our partner in crime Premium SMS Services and we don't understand why they've turned against us, all of a sudden. This very well might be true. And, it may be possible that Verizon's change of heart was initiated by Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott. If that's the case, Kudos to him!
JAWA's defense begs the question: Do the wireless companies knowingly allow these scams to continue?
Where Are JAWA's Employees in All This?
One might think that if JAWA is doing something wrong, with more than 240 employees, there would be at least one whistle blower, right? This is where things get interesting. Remember Enron? They had more than 30,000 employees. Bernie Madoff had a $50 Billion Ponzie scheme with hundreds of employees.
Often times, employees of such companies don't get to see the big picture. They get sucked into it or have personal reasons for staying quiet (think mortgages, children, and other responsibilities). They might also be worried or intimidated by their seemingly powerful employers who are often well-connected with politicians.
In JAWA's case, at least one employee is sticking up for them. Earlier today, I had the following comment posted on my blog by a person identifying themselves as "me":
"me" seems to be a really brave guy and a dedicated employee. He's also got an interesting name. But what I don't understand is this: If JAWA is a legitimate business why is "me" so concerned? His or her comment "...and if the ship goes down I will proudly go down with it" doesn't seem like something one would say about an honest company. Ships don't just go down without a reason. Maybe the commenter knows that there are good reasons for this ship to go down.
Could Employees be Intimidated?
For the first time ever, my company Axosoft, has become the victim of intimidation techniques. Just this morning, Axosoft's Wikipedia page was vandalized. Take a look:
The link that was added to the Axosoft Wikipedia page goes to a Maricopa Superior Court page listing all the law suits that I've been a party to. I'm not certain who was behind the vandalized site, nor what their purpose was. Perhaps it is to tell me "hey, we're watching you!" Or is it to intimidate me?
Who is it from? It turns out the edits were done from an IP address related to a hosting provider known as http://www.defconservers.com, which itself looks like a shady hosting provider. Try calling their toll-free number: 1-800-998-3108. It could have been any of their customers who made the change. Or some hacker. But the timing is odd, wouldn't you say?
Intimidation doesn't work with me. It only lights the fire in my belly. But it goes to show that if someone is in fact trying to intimidate me -- and I hardly know anything about this case -- I can only imagine what the employees of a company that might be involved with fraud must endure.
Here's the thing: if you let others intimidate and stop you from doing the right thing, then what does that say about your character? Only YOU get to define who you are.
If you know any information about this, you can email me directly. My email is hamids at axosoft - do it from an anonymous email, if needed. Don't let anyone intimidate you and stop you from doing what you know is right.

Most of us wouldn't dream of putting the car in drive without our seat belt buckled. But for many pet parent, pets are still given free range of the vehicle during trips.
This can be dangerous on two levels: first a dog can be highly distracting to the driver when they are moving through the car, and secondly in the event of a collision an unrestrained pet can do a lot of damage to itself and its fellow passengers.

About the beginning of last June (as near as I can remember) Bellamora came to Town from Hampshire; and was oblig'd to lodge the first Night at the same Inn where the Stage-Coach set up. The next Day she took Coach for Covent-Garden, where she thought to find Madam Brightly, a Relation of her's; with whom she design'd to continue for about half a Year undiscover'd, if possible, by her Friends in the Country: And order'd therefore her Trunk, with her Cloaths, and most of her Money and Jewels, to be brought after her to Madam Brightly's, by a strange Porter whom she spoke to in the Street as she was taking Coach; being utterly unacquainted with the neat Practices of this fine City. When she came to Bridges-street, where inded her Cousin had lodged near three or four Years since; she was strangely surpriz'd that she cou'd not learn any thing of her; no, nor so much as meet with any one that had ever heard of her Cousin's Name. Till, at last, describing Madam Brightly to one of the house-keepers in that place, he told her, that there was such a kind of Lady, whom he had sometimes seen there about a Year and a half ago; but that he believ'd, she was married and remov'd towards So-ho. In this Perplexity she quite forgot her Trunk and Money, &c. and wander'd in her Hackney-Coach all over St. Ann's Parish; inquiring for Madam Brightly, still describing her Person, but in vain; for no soul cou'd give her any Tale or Tidings of such a Lady. After she had thus fruitlesly rambled, till she, the Coachman, and the very Horses were e'en tir'd, by good Fortune for her, she happen'd on a private House, where lived a good, discreet, ancient Gentlewoman, who was fallen a little to decay, and was forc'd to let Lodgings for the best part of her Livelihood: From whom she understood, that there was such a kind of a Lady who had lain there somewhat more than a Twelve-month, being near three Months after she was married: But that she was now gone abroad with the Gentleman her Husband; either to the Play, or to take the fresh Air; and she believ'd, wou'd not return till Night. This Discourse of the good Gentlewoman's so elevated Bellamora's drooping Spirits, that after she had begg'd the Liberty of staying there till they came home, she discharg'd the Coachman in all haste, still forgetting her Trunk, and the more valuable Furniture of it.
When they were alone, Bellamora desired she might be permitted the Freedom to send for a Pint of Sack; which, with some little Difficulty, was at last allow'd her. They began then to chat for a matter of half an hour of things indifferent: And, at length the ancient Gentlewoman ask'd the Fair Innocent (I must not say Foolish) one, of what Country, and what her Name was: To both which she answer'd very directly and truly; tho' it might have prov'd, not discreetly. She then inquir'd of Bellamora if her Parents were living, and the Occasion of her coming to Town. The Fair Unthinking Creature replied, That her Father and Mother were both dead: And that she had escap'd from her Uncle, under pretence of making a Visit to a young Lady, her Cousin who was lately married, and liv'd above Twenty Miles from her Uncle's in the Road to London; and, that the Cause of her quitting the Country, was to avoid the hated Importunities of a Gentleman, whose pretended Love to her she fear'd had been her eternal Ruine. At which she wept and sigh'd most extravagantly. The discreet Gentlewoman endeavour'd to comfort her by all the softest and most powerful Argument in her Capacity; promising her all the friendly Assistance that she cou'd expect from her, during Bellamora's stay in Town; which she did with so much Earnestness and visible Integrity, that the pretty innocent Creature was going to make her a full and real Discovery of her imaginary, insupportable Misfortunes; and (doubtless) had done it; had she not been prevented by the Return of the Lady, whom she hop'd to have found her Cousin Brightly. The Gentleman her Husband just saw her within Doors, and order'd the Coach to drive to some of his Bottle-Companions; which gave the Women the better Opportunity of entertaining one another, which happen'd to be with some Surprize on all sides. As the lady was going up to her Apartment, the Gentlewoman of the House told her there was a young Lady in the Parlour, who came out o' the Country that very Day on purpose to visit her: The Lady stept immediately to see who it was, and Bellamora approaching to receive her hop'd for Cousin, stopp'd on the the suddain just as she came to her; and sigh'd out loud, Ah, Madam! I am lost. — It is not your Ladyship I seek. No, Madam (return'd t'other) I am apt to think you did not intend me this Honour. But you are as welcome to me, as you could be to the dearest of your Acquaintance: Have you forgot me, Madam Bellamora? (continued she) that Name startled both the other: However, It was with a kind of Joy. Alas! Madam, (replied the young one) I now remember that I have been so happy to have seen you: But where, and when, my Memory can't shew me. 'Tis indeed some Years since: (return'd the Lady) But of that another time. — Mean while, if your are unprovided of a lodging, I dare undertake, you shall be welcom to this Gentlewoman. The Fair Unfortunate return'd her Thanks; and whilst a Chamber was preparing for her, the Lady entertain'd her in her own. About Ten a Clock they parted, Bellamora being conducted to her new Lodging by the Mistress of the House, who then left her to take what Rest she cou'd amidst her so many seeming Misfortunes; returning to the other Lady, who desir'd her to search into the Cause of Bellamora's Retreat to Town.
The next Morning the good Gentlewoman of the House coming up to her, found Bellamora almost drown'd in Tears, which by many kind and sweet Words she at last stopp'd; and asking whence so great Signs of Sorrow shou'd proceed, vow'd a most profound Secrecy if she wou'd discover to her their Occasion; which, after some little Reluctancy, she did, in this manner:
I was courted (said she) above three Years ago, when my Mother was yet living, by one Mr. Fondlove, a Gentleman of a good Estate, and true Worth; and one who, I dare believe, did then really love me: He continu'd his Passion for me, with all the earnest and honest Solicitations imaginable, till some Month's before my Mother's Death; who at that time, was most desirous to see me dispos'd of in Marriage to another Gentleman, of a much better Estate than Mr. Fondlove: But one, whose Person and Humour did by no means hit with my Inclinations: And this gave Fondlove the unhappy Advantage over me. For, finding me one Day all alone in my Chamber, and lying on my Bed, in as mournful and wretched a Condition, to my then foolish Apprehension, as now I am; He urg'd his Passion with such Violence and accursed Success for me, with reiterated Promises of Marriage, whenever I pleas'd to challeng 'em, which he bound with the most sacred Oaths and most dreadful Execrations; that partly with my Aversion to the other, and partly wih my Inclinations to pity him, I ruin'd my self. — Here she relaps'd into a greater Extravagance of Grief than before; which was so extreme, that it did not continue long. When therefore, she was pretty well come to her self, the ancient Gentlewoman ask'd her, why she imagin'd her self ruin'd? To which she answer'd, I am great with Child by him (Madam) and wonder you did not perceive it last Night. Alas! I have not a Month to go: I am sham'd, ruin'd, and damn'd, I fear, for ever lost. O, fie, Madam, think not so: (replied Bellmora) I doubt not that he wou'd marry me; for, soon after my Mother's Death, when I came to be at my own Disposal, which happen'd about two Months after, he offer'd, nay, most earnestly sollicited me to it, which still he perseveres to do. This is strange! (return'd 'tother) And it appears to me to be your own Fault, that you are yet miserable. Why did you not, or why will you not consent to your own Happiness? Alas! alas! (cry'd Bellamora) 'Tis the only thing I dread in this World: For, I am certain he can never love me after: Besides, ever since, I have abhorr'd the Sight of him: And this is the only Cause that obliges me to forsake my Uncle, and all my Friends and Relations in the Country, hoping this populous and publick Place to be most private, especially, (Madam) in your House, and in your Fidelity and Discretion. Of the last you may assure your self, Madam, (said t'other.) But what Provision have you made for the Reception of the young Stranger that you carry about you. Ah, Madam! (cry'd Bellamora) you have brought to mind another Misfortune: Then she acquainted her with the suppos'd Loss of her Money and Jewels, telling her withal, that she had but three Guinea's and some Silver left, and the Rings she wore, in her present Possession. The good Gentlewoman of the House told her, she wou'd send to inquire at the Inn where she lay the first Night she came to Town; for, (happily) they might give some account of the Porter to whom she had instrusted her Trunk; and withal repeated her Promise of all the help in her Power, and for that time left her much more compos'd than she found her. The good Gentlewoman went directly to the other Lady, her Lodger, to whom she recounted Bellamora's mournful Confession: At which the Lady appear'd mightily concern'd: And at last, she told her Land-lady, that she wou'd take Care that Bellamora should lie in according to her Quality: For, (added she) the Child (it seems) is my own Brother's.
As soon as she had din'd, she went to the Exchange and bought Child-bed Linen; but desir'd that Bellamora might not have the least Notice of it: And at her Return dispatch'd a Letter to her Brother Fondlove in Hantshire, with an Account of every particular; which soon brought him up to Town, without satisfying any of his or her Friends with the Reason of his sudden Departure; mean while, the good Gentlewoman of the House had sent to the Star-inn on Fish-street-hill, to demand the Trunk; which she rightly suppos'd to have been carried back thither: For, by good Luck, it was a Fellow that plyed thereabouts who brought it to Bellamora's Lodgings that very Night, but unknown to her. Fondlove no sooner got to London, but he posts to his Sister's Lodgings, where he was advis'd not to be seen of Bellamora till they had work'd farther upon her, which the Land-Lady began in this manner; she told her that her things were miscarried, and she fear'd lost; that she had but little Money her self, and if the Overseers of the poor (justly so call'd from their over-looking 'em) shou'd have the least Suspicion of a strange and unmarried Person, who was entertain'd in her House big with Child and so near her time as Bellamora was, she shou'd be troubled, if they cou'd not give Security to the Parish of twenty or thirty Pound that they shou'd not suffer by her, which she cou'd not; or otherwise, she must be sent to the House of Correction, and her Child to a Parish-Nurse. This Discourse one may imagine, was very dreadful to a Person of her Youth, Beauty, Education, Family and Estate: However, she resolutely protested, that she had rather undergo all this, than be expos'd to the Scorn of her Friends and Relations in the Country. The other told her then, that she must write down to her Uncle a farewell Letter, as if she were just going abroad the Pacquet-boat for Holland; that he might not send to inquire for her in Town, when he shou'd understand she was not at her new-married Cousin's in the Country, which accordingly she did, keeping her self a close Prisoner to her Chamber; where she was daily visited by Fondlove's Sister and the Land-Lady, but by no Soul else, the first dissembling the Knowledge she had of her Misfortunes. Thus she continued for above three Weeks; not a Servant being suffer'd to enter her Chamber, so much as to make her Bed, lest they shou'd take Notice of her great Belly: But for all this Caution, the Secret had taken Wind, by the means of an Attendant of the other Lady below, who had over-heard her speaking of it to her Husband. This soon got out 'o Doors and spread abroad, till it reach'd the long Ears of the Wolves of the Parish; who next day design'd to give her an ungrateful Visit: But Fondlove, by good Providence, prevented it; who, the Night before, was usher'd into Bellamora's Chamber by this Sister, his Brother-in-Law, and the Land-Lady. At the sight of him she had like to have swoon'd away: But he taking her in his Arms, began again, as he was wont to do, with Tears in his Eyes, to beg that she wou'd marry him e'er she was delivered; if not for his, nor her own, yet for the Child's sake, which she hourly expected; that it might not be born out of Wedlock, and so be made uncapable of inheriting either of their Estates; with a great many more pressing Arguments on all sides: To which at last she consented; and an honest officious Gentleman, whom they had before provided, was call'd up, who made an end of the Dispute: So to Bed they went together that Night; and next Day to the Exchange, for several pretty Businesses that Ladies in her Condition want. Whilst they were abroad, came the Vermin of the Parish, (I mean, the Overseers of the poor, who eat the Bread from 'em) to search for a young Black-hair'd Lady (for so was Bellamora) who was either brought to bed, or just ready to lie down. The Land-Lady shew'd 'em all the Rooms in her House, but no such Lady cou'd be found. At last she bethought her self, and led'em into her Parlour, where she open'd a little Closet-door, and shew'd 'em her Black Cat that had just kitten'd; assuring 'em, that she shou'd never trouble the Parish as long as she had Rats or Mice in the House, and so dismiss'd 'em like Logger-heads as they came.

text: Paarl - The South African Invitation XI put up a good performance with the bat against a New Zealand team that bowled reasonably well without really looking to have the firepower to take twenty Test wickets.According to the supersport.com website, by the close of play on the second of three days allocated for this non-first-class match, the locals had reached 274 for six - a deficit to 33 runs.Openers Matthew Kleinveldt (78) and Hendrik van der Dussen (76) each got into the seventies, but perhaps the most impressive knock came from local boy Keegan Petersen, unbeaten on 47 by close of play. Trent Boult and Bruce Martin each claimed two wickets.Brendon McCullum declared the tourists' first innings at the overnight score of 311 for six, with all the batsmen having a decent knock. With the track as dead as ever, Boult got some movement while Chris Martin controlled his length well, firing in the odd yorker. However, despite McCullum using the bowlers in short spells, they could make little impression on openers Kleinveldt and Van der Dussen, who took the score to 84 by lunch.They continued in much the same vein after the break. Van der Dussen did have a charmed life, mis-timing some shots as he tried to force the pace. He also had the only outside edge of the day while Kleinveldt survived the first confident lbw shout, and that was pretty much all that had almost gone right for the bowlers on a long hot day. Kleinveldt eventually made a mistake, missing his attempt shot across the line and being stumped for 78 off 169 balls with 11 fours, ending a partnership of 161 in 54 overs. By tea the score had moved on to 168.Wickets tumbled after tea as the first five went down for 35 in the space of 16 overs. Colin Ackermann went in slightly controversial circumstances, edging Neil Wagner to Martin Guptill at slip. Ackermann felt that he had hit it into the ground, and only departed after consultation between umpires Shaun George and Adrian Holdstock.Van der Dussen was next to go, also taken in the slips as Boult worked up some impressive pace late in the day, backed up by some keen fielding. Van der Dussen scored 76 off 182 balls, with eight fours and a six. Boult then bowled captain Piet van Biljon with a peach of a late in-swinger. Uwe Birkenstock was adjudged leg before, despite clearly hitting the ball, but umpire Holdstock correctly ruled that the first impact was with the pad.Still 115 in arrears, local boy Petersen led a fightback with Bradley Barnes. Every shot of Petersen, a product of the New Orleans High School, was greeted with warm applause by a good crowd, sensibly ensconced under the many trees.An elegant off drive brought up the 200, but his best shot was a six hit well over mid-wicket when the otherwise economical James Franklin dropped one short. He was unbeaten at the end of the day on 47, made off 64 balls and he has already hit six fours and a six.Chris Martin was eventually rewarded for a day of hard toil, trapping Bradley Barnes in front with the second new ball to end a useful partnership of 56 for the sixth wicket.It was hard work in the heat, but the bowlers persisted well despite getting nothing out of the pitch. McCullum experimented with his field placings, at one stage having three catching in the covers as well as one on the leg side, looking for the mistimed drive.Chris Martin finished with 1-31 and Boult 2-46, both looking to have good rhythm. Bruce Martin took 2-66 and Wagner, energetic enough to beat the bat in the penultimate over of the day, took one. Jeetan Patel and Franklin went wicketless despite being economical.Bad news for the tourists was the injury to Peter Fulton, who aggravated a knee injury while batting on the first morning and will be returning to New Zealand for treatment.It remains to be seen if the Invitation XI will return the favour and declare overnight, or if they will look to reduce the deficit of 33 and even take a small lead into the second innings.Teams:SA Invitation XI: Matthew Kleinveldt, Hendrik van der Dussen, Colin Ackermann, Piet van Biljon (captain), Uwe Birkenstock, Keegan Petersen, Bradley Barnes, Steven Liebisch, Petrus Jeftha, Siya Simetu, Travis Muller and Gino Vries.New Zealanders: Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum (captain), Daniel Flynn, BJ Watling, James Franklin, Neil Wagner, Bruce Martin, Jeetan Patel, Travis Boult, Chris Martin and Dean Brownlie.

The Hope College Great Performance Series will present the Suspicious Cheese Lords on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
The Suspicious Cheese Lords is an all-male a capella ensemble focusing on the music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The "Washington Post" has praised hearing the group as "A mind expanding experience."
The ensemble, based in Washington, D.C., seeks to broaden the global repertoire and listenership of choral music by unearthing forgotten works, breathing new life into familiar pieces, and supporting emerging composers. Specializing in early music, the unique brotherhood's concerts, liturgies, recordings and educational programs provide a scholarly yet accessible interpretation of music of all eras, inspiring fans and future musicians alike.
Joseph McLellan of the "Washington Post" said, "The Cheese Lords… sang with an ensemble precision and a sensitivity to the music's varied styles as impressive as their imagination in programming."
Hope College alumnus Dan Ebeling, who graduated from the college in 2004 with a major in vocal music education, has been performing with the group since 2004 and will be singing as a countertenor at the performance.
The group's name shows the members' sense of humor, yet they take their music seriously. The Suspicious Cheese Lords' name is derived from the title of a Thomas Tallis motet, Suscipe quæso Domine. While "translating" the title, it was observed that Suscipe could be "suspicious," quæso is close to the Spanish word queso meaning "cheese," and Domine is "Lord." Hence, the title of the motet was clearly "Suspicious Cheese Lord"—which in time became adopted as the group's name. Although the name is humorous, the group appreciates the literal translation of Suscipe quæso Domine, which is, "Take, I ask, Lord."
The name has also caused some trouble for them as they were renamed a "Sacred Music Ensemble" when they performed at a papal mass for Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
From 1998 to 2006, the Cheese Lords served as the choir-in-residence for major services at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C. Additional services credits include the Cathedral of St. Matthew, Church of the Epiphany (G Street), the Church of the Holy Redeemer (Kensington, Md.) and Georgetown University's Dahlgren Chapel.
Individual tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under. Individual and season tickets are available at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, which is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890. Tickets are also available online at tickets.hope.edu/ticketing/
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

Below are the taping results for this week's WWE SmackDown!:
Smackdown opens with World champion Randy Orton coming out and announcing his concussion but says that he doesn't care and still wants a piece of Christian. Teddy Long comes out and says he doesn't care and wants Christian. Long says he can't allow Orton to compete. Christian comes out and says he's going to win the World title this Sunday. This brings out Sheamus who says he beat Orton last week and he's the one who deserves a title shot. Christian calls him Strawberry Shortcake and tells him that it's not his time. Long announces Christian vs. Sheamus for the main event tonight. If Sheamus wins, he gets into the title match on Sunday and it's a Triple Threat. If Christian wins, the match remains as it currently stands. Orton will be at ringside but not allowed to get involved.
*In a rematch from Raw, Sin Cara & Daniel Bruan & Ezekiel Jackson defeated Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes & WWE Intercontinental champ Wade Barrett when Bryan pinned DiBiase in what was obviously a terribly screwed up finish as the referee counted three as DiBiase kicked out.
Note – they did show the replay of the finish, so perhaps it was a storyline thing – just came off really weird.
*Sheamus cuts a backstage promo promising to beat Christian tonight and Orton Sunday to become the new World champion.
*Jinder Mahal defeated Vladimir Kozlov.
*Josh Matthews interviewed Big Show inside the ring, asking why him why he was here on Smackdown. Show said that he heard Alberto Del Rio was going to be here. Long comes out and says that if Alberto is here, Show cannot lay a hand on him. He said that Del Rio is contemplating pressing charges on Show for what he did to Ricardo on Raw. Long said he and Show will both lose their jobs if that happens (the crowd cheered, really), but Show has an opponent tonight – Mark Henry.
The match never really happens as Show goes nuts and destroys Henry, laying him out. Officials and medics come out and Henry is stretchered out.
*Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes & Tamina defeated AJ, Natalya & Kaitlyn when Tamina pinned AJ with a Samoan Drop.
*Johnny Curtis cuts a promo backstage saying his debut is near and (standing near a miniature gold setup) he's going to be the Ace in the hole, pulling an Ace Card out of the hole.
*Christian cuts a promo backstage saying the match against Sheamus is a bad call and he shouldn't have to prove himself to anyone.
*The Usos defeated Justin Gabriel & Health Slater.
*Alberto Del Rio arrived and cut a promo saying that Ricardo was destroyed by Big Show and can't provide for his own daughter anymore. He promised to dedicate his win this Sunday to Ricardo. They made it out like he was gone for good. Show came out and Del Rio chased into the crowd by The Big Show. Show was all mad and destroyed the ringside table.
*Christian defeated Sheamus. Randy Orton chased him to the back, then returned to punt Sheamus to close the taping.
*Spoliers!* SmackDown results for Friday 6/17
Below are the taping results for this week's WWE SmackDown!:

Wywiad z Verą Dondelinger, blogerką kulinarną z Heidelbergu
Image sharpness is one of the most important creative tools for photographers. However, what is in sharp focus or out of focus in an image is not only decided by the focus itself. The aperture also has a significant influence in this area. The aperture controls the depth of field, or in other words the zone of spatial depth, in which objects in an image appear sharp to the human eye.

2008 Bmw M6 Top Speed
2008 Bmw M6 Top Speed-Cars with a lot of manual transmissions and types, ranging from cheap cars to sports cars, car transmission technology using a new manual system then using automatic transmissions or often called car matic.
In addition to seeing the prices set by the seller of the buyer, especially the buyer must pay attention to what fuel is used by the car to be purchased. In this matic or manual car, the fuel used is fuel oil so that fuel itself becomes one of the things that need to be considered. So how to differentiate the use of fuel on automatic and manual cars, that is, if many manual cars say that a manual car is economical compared to a car that has a mechanical engine.
First check what is the cause of waste, the manual motorized car is often said to be economical because the driver always adjusts to what he needs such as using engine speed and using a clutch, if you want to move gears the brakes are low. Whereas the automatic car cannot be adjusted like a manual car so it tends to experience irregular rotation.-2008 Bmw M6 Top Speed

The setup was similar to last year: a down flat down box and straight down rail plus new for this year, a miniramp for skate-dawgs. Also couple of big names were there—MFM, Eero Ettala and Joni Malmi. None of them were riding though, Eero was judging and still recovering from his recent knee operation, MFM was skating and Joni was spinning records at the afterparty. ?
The pros not attending the railjam didn't bother anyone, as top of the line rail shredders were ready to slide the iron. Hans à…hlund, Eirikur Helgason, Gulli Gudmunssen, Fredu Sirviö, Jonas Carlson, Torsti, Nicky Wieveg, Torgeir Berre, Daniel Ek, Risto Ruokola, Adi Velic, Vesa Nissinen, Brian McClatchy, Eman Anderssen and many more started to get ready for two 30-minute heats.
Many riders hadn't been on a board for months, but that didn't seem to bother them at all as the crowd of a few thousand wowed and oohed, when riders delivered the basic nowadays tricks like frontside blunt 270 outs and frontside board pretzel thingys. It's getting so confusing these days with the tricks these riders can do. Some spin before, on, and after the rail, some flip and flop, and the rest just concentrate on their style, clothes, and how good they look when pulling backside lipslides for photographers.??
Some riders who stood out were Hans à…hlund, Fredu Sirviö, Risto Ruokola, Eirikur Helgason, Gulli Gudmundson, Daniel Ek, Nicky Wieveg, Halldor Helgasson and Eman.
Judges Eero Ettala, Victor Ardfors, and Ronnie Andresson chose finalists and by evening the show really begun. Kareem was the cash-man, handing out 500 and 1,000 SEK bills to each stylishly nailed trick—the announcer was going crazy and could barely keep his pants on. The session was short and tight with über technical tricks and high cash flow in the final round.?
Judges awarded the best trick of the day to two riders based on two rails. Finland's Risto Ruokola nailed something like a switch backside tail spin 180 on the rail and 270 out, and cashed 5,000 SEK from Kareem for Best Trick. The king of the kink box was Hans à…hlund from Sweden. A 50-50 backside 270 boardslide combo landed him Best Trick as well and became 5,000 SEK richer.??
There was one rider that earned the biggest applause. The best overall Rider of the Day award went to Iceland's own king Eirikur Helgason who delivered technical combos and solid style all day long and was given 10,000 SEK.??
The show continued at the prestegius night club Berns downtown Stockholm, over 1,000 people showed up to party the night away to dope music deliverd by MFM and Joni Malmi. Free champagne at the VIP lounge and tons of hot Swedish girls made everyone wanna party all night long. But everything has to come to an end and at 3:00 am the club closed and this years Frontline railjam had officially come to an end.

CVR Refining's 24 Million Unit IPO Prices at $25 a Unit
CVR Refining LP, a spinoff from a refining company owned by activist investor Carl Icahn, priced its upsized 24 million unit IPO priced at $25 a unit, within its expected range.
UPDATE: The offering has opened up at $25.50, a 2% gain from the IPO price.
Earlier this month, CVR Refining had said it expected an offering of 20 million units to price between $24 and $26 a unit.
The company owns refining and related logistics assets and is being taken out of CVR Energy Inc., to help monetize its operations. Icahn had staged a battle with CVR Energy last year, which wound up with him in control of the company and attempting to sell it. He found no buyers but is pushing changes at CVR Energy he says will increase investor returns.
After the offering, it said CVR Energy will own about 84% of CVR Refining.
