MUNICH (Reuters) - A German court convicted Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness of tax evasion on Thursday and sentenced the man who turned the soccer club into one of the world's most successful sports dynasties to 3-1/2 years in jail.
Judge Rupert Heindl ruled that Hoeness's voluntary disclosure that he had failed to pay taxes had been incomplete and thus did not meet a vital requirement needed for amnesty under laws designed to encourage tax evaders to come clean.
Hoeness has admitted evading 27.2 million euros in taxes on income earned in secret Swiss bank accounts, but the soccer club executive was hoping for leniency in one of the most closely watched tax evasion cases in German history.
"The voluntary disclosure is not valid with the documents that were presented alone," said the judge. He said the confession was riddled with mistakes and that Hoeness had failed to submit other documents requested by tax inspectors on time.
The 62-year-old Hoeness, who also owns a Bavarian sausage factory, bowed his head and stared at the floor when the verdict was delivered, his face turning red as he struggled to retain his composure. He left the court in silence, avoiding reporters.
The case hinged on the question of whether Hoeness, who as a player helped West Germany win the 1974 World Cup, cooperated fully with his voluntary disclosure. His case shocked the nation and prompted thousands of tax dodgers to turn themselves in.
Hoeness's defense lawyers immediately announced they would appeal to the Federal Court of Justice.
"The high court will decide if his voluntary disclosure was valid, or partially valid or botched," said lawyer Hanns Feigen. "That's the interesting point. The key point is the way a taxpayer is being treated - as if he hadn't turned himself in."
The maximum sentence for tax evasion is 10 years and the prosecutors, citing Hoeness's cooperation, had sought a 5-1/2 year sentence.
Hoeness was first charged with evading 3.5 million euros in taxes. But when the trial began on Monday he stunned the court by admitting he had actually evaded five times that amount - or 18.5 million euros.
That figure was raised further to 27.2 million euros on the second day of the trial based on testimony by a tax inspector. Hoeness's defense team acknowledged the higher figure.
Hoeness, whose team won last year's Champions League and dominates the German Bundesliga, apologized to the court and pleaded for leniency. The club's earnings have soared under his stewardship, which has lasted 35 years in various posts. With more than 220,000 members, it is one of the world's biggest soccer clubs.
"I deeply regret my wrongdoing," he said on Monday. "I'm doing everything I can to put this unhappy chapter behind me."
Tax evasion is a serious crime in Germany. Peter Graf, the late father of tennis champion Steffi Graf, was sentenced in 1997 to three years and nine months for evading 12.3 million marks (6.3 million euros). He was released after 25 months.
Michael Meister, deputy finance minister, said the verdict would be a lesson to other taxpayers. "It shows that it is not worth it to evade taxes," he told Rheinische Post newspaper.
Hoeness, once one of Germany's most admired soccer executives, alerted tax authorities in January 2013 about his bank account and undeclared income. He said the Swiss account was a personal account created for financial market trades.
Some 55,000 tax evaders have turned themselves in over the last four years and paid a total of about 3.5 billion euros in back taxes, according to the taxpayers association. The number of voluntary disclosures rose four-fold in 2013 from 2012.
"First of all, I feel great personal empathy because a prison sentence is a serious imposition on anybody, including Uli Hoeness," said Bavarian state premier Horst Seehofer, leader of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Bavarian sister party.
"On the other hand, I as a politician and state premier have to accept the result of a trial conducted according to the rule of law," Seehofer added.
Hoeness had been a friend of Merkel and a popular TV talk show guest. He spoke out for higher taxes and railed against tax evasion. His case has led to calls to change German laws that allow tax evaders to avoid prosecution if they turn themselves in before an investigation starts.
It is unclear if Hoeness can remain chairman of Bayern Munich's supervisory board. The club said its boards would deliberate the matter but would not decide immediately.
FC Bayern Munich AG is privately owned. Major German companies Adidas AG, Allianz and Audi AG, all of which are based in Bavaria, each have an 8.3 percent stake in the club. Deutsche Telekom AG is the club's main advertising sponsor.
Members of the supervisory board include Adidas chief executive Herbert Hainer, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn and Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges.

Publisher's Note: My friend Christian Macé emailed me this discovery he made of a possible vehicle on Mars. I immediately thought I saw a military tank so I enlarged the original photo (bottom of article) by using auto contrast as well as using the sharpening filter and finally using the equalize tool in Abode Photoshop 7.0. and to my surprise and delight the image that emerged was of a twentieth century modern tank. Please note that tracks on the side of the vehicle, the turret on top of the vehicle and the cannon mounted on the top left of the vehicle. Your comments would be appreciated. Enjoy Dirk

Persistent developmental toxicity in rat offspring after low dose exposure to a mixture of endocrine disrupting pesticides
Publication: Research - peer-review › Conference article – Annual report year: 2012
There is growing concern of permanent damage to the endocrine and nervous systems after developmental exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals. In this study the permanent reproductive and neurobehavioral effects of combined exposure to five endocrine disrupting pesticides, epoxiconazole, mancozeb, prochloraz, tebuconazole and procymidone, were examined. Pregnant and lactating rat dams were dosed with a mixture of the five pesticides at three different doses, or with the individual pesticides at one of two doses.Adverse effects were observed in young and adult male offspring from the group exposed to the highest dose of the mixture. These included reduced prostate and epididymis weights, increased testes weights, altered prostate histopathology, increased density of mammary glands, reduced sperm counts, and decreased spatial learning. As no significant effects were seen following single compound exposure at the doses included in the highest mixture dose, these results indicate cumulative adverse effects of the pesticide mixture.

There's still hope for a Chester Supermarket

sam & sams within a mile
shop rite within a mile
food markets are open for a profit
can chester support a market ....to make a profit??? It went something like...
I'm torn on the issue of a market in the city. Granted I live in the suburbs, I literally have an Acme right across the street from me but I don't go there because of the higher prices. I'd rather drive to the other side of town to the Giant or Shoprite that offers lowers prices.
On the other side I know that access is an important factor when it comes to choices. Even though Pathmark and Giant are right next to each other, I don't know why people choose between them other than Pathmark is closer to the bus stop.
If given the choice, I'd like to see a Wegmans in the city. Even though they have higher prices, they have a large selection of produces and shopping there seems to give people some sort of euphoria during their shopping experience. Hopefully that good feeling during grocery shopping will rub off on all of the residence.

Ribeye Bone-In, Aged 28 Days, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes 18 oz. 45Now first of all, I'm so smart I thought a ribeye was a smaller cut of meat. I don't know why, but that was what was in my head. Garlic mashed potatoes, yum! I thought 18 dollars was a pretty good price for a nice steak and I didn't want something big, no fries, no soup and salad and bread and all that. Keep it simple or I can't eat it all anyway.
Wasn't I surprised when adding a glass of wine to my meal brought my portion of the bill to 50 dollars! For 50 bucks I should have known that meat's name. I should have put my arm around it, romanced it a bit, said sweet things to it. But maybe I should have read the menu correctly and noticed it was 18 ounces (SMALL??) and not 18 dollars. What did I think the '45' meant? I'm guilty of skimming and not reading fully. My fault.
It WAS done perfectly, very tender, and the Bearnaise was awesome. Not complaining, just demonstrating how amazingly air headed I can be. And I guess I must be pretty special to myself because tonight? I bought myself the most expensive meal on the menu. Yay me!
* Wait a minute. Aged 28 days??? 50 bucks and the meat was OLD??? Sheesh.

A minaret collapsed during prayers — killing 36 people and injuring 71 — at a crowded mosque in the old town of the historic Moroccan city of Meknes.
Officials yesterday blamed the accident on heavy rain that had weakened the minaret at the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, according to a statement released by the Interior Ministry.
King Mohammed VI sent the interior minister and religious affairs minister to Meknes, a UNESCO heritage city and one of Morocco's four imperial cities, some 62 miles east of the capital Rabat.
The officials visited some of the injured at hospitals in Meknes. The more seriously injured were taken to hospitals in the nearby city of Fes. A team of psychologists also was sent.
The old town of Meknes is a pedestrian zone, which made rescue efforts more difficult.
MAP, citing official sources, said hospitals had already released 51 people, but were still treating 20 injured victims.
The king has ordered the reconstruction of the mosque, which was built four centuries ago under Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made Meknes his capital.
Heavy rain battered the city yesterday, and more rain has been forecast for the next week.

Hello David, I was just looking over spreadsheet 3.a.9 again and for some reason I lost track on some of the concepts behind Accrued Interests and PV of coupons, so I tried to visualize it by drawing out the time-line, here's what I got: I hope maybe you can point out some of the concepts that I'm not getting. (I'm doing my best to try to draw it on here ) [Interest Rate: 10%] [Coupon Rate: 12%] Clean Price: $120 Accrued Interest: $1.978 Dirty Price (w/ AI): $121.978 *, **, ***,**** Denote different points in time $120.124 $120 $121.978 $6 Coupon $6 Coupon | || | || | | || | || | | || | || | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 60 Days ** 122 Days *** 148 Days **** 35 Days So at time ** the dirty price is $121.978, and we are subtracting the discounted $6 coupon that we will receive at time ***. My question here is, shouldn't the clean price ($120) at time * already took into account all the future coupons? why is it necessary to subtract the PV of future coupons again? Using the cost of carry model, we subtract the PV of coupon at time *** from $121.978 and then compound it at 10% rate until time **** and then subtract out the accrued interest (for the 148 days). Do we subtract out the accrued interest just so we can get the clean price? Also, I tried to see if the final price would be the same if say I take $121.978, subtract out the PV of coupon at time ***, and then compound it ONLY until time *** (which will not take into account the AI), and then try to look at it as a clean price as if we're standing on time ****, that gave me $120.124, which is a bit less than $120.242. Am I right that both approaches should really be the same? I think most of my confusions come from the adding and subtracting of coupons and AI. I think I'm having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind the valuation process. For example, why add the AI and then subtract out the PV of coupon? I'm sorry for the lengthy post.. Thank you!
Hi Jack, You probably noticed my example is a straight copy from Hull. I added the timeline to the learning XLS, same as yours, only vertical (see below). In regard to "why is it necessary to subtract the PV of future coupons again?," that is because we are here using the cost of carry to calculate a forward/future price. So, I view this whole sequence in two steps: 1. Apply cost of carry to compute the implied forward price (i.e., a cash futures price) 2. Translate that cash futures price into its quoted (i.e., clean) equivalent and standard bond (i.e., using CF) equivalent. So, note the controlling formula below Forward = (Spot - Lump Sum Income)*EXP[rT] i.e., this is just cost of carry Re "Do we subtract out the accrued interest just so we can get the clean price?" Yes, exactly. The 125.095 is the cash (dirty) minus the AI gives the 120.242 clean price." Regarding the other PV exercise, sorry, I cannot quite see the justification. If i were to follow that, I create a different "error" it would seem. If i want to use the $120, then I would go back - 60 days (when AI=0). Then compound that forward 330 days to maturity (60+122+148) gets me $131.35 which I expected to equal $125.095 plus reinvested coupon. Reinvest coupon = $6*EXP(148 days/365*105) = $6.248. So: $131.35 - $6.248 = $125.11 which is near but not equal to $125.095. So, I too am not finding the solution that is analogous so, i don't know about this approach...sorry I hope that helps a little...David http://www.bionicturtle.com/images/forum/hull_ex_6.2_aug09_2.png

Shane Harper
Birthday: 1989-02-01 | Position: RW |
Eligible for draft: 2007 | Shoots: Right |
Drafted: | Height: 5-11 |
Acquired: Free agent signing, 2010 | Weight: 193 lbs. |
Probability of Success
2008-09: Shane Harper played in 71 of 72 games for Everett in his third WHL season and had career highs in goals and assists. The California native scored 17 goals with 26 assists and was -5 with 18 PMs. Everett, despite finishing under .500, was fourth in the West Division. Harper skated in all five playoff games and was an even plus/minus with 4 PMs.
2009-10: Harper made his pro debut with AHL Adirondack after signing a free agent, entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers in March 2011. In five games with the Phantoms he scored his first professional goal and was -1 with 2 PMs. Prior to signing with the Flyers, the 5'11, 195-pounder had his best offensive season in his final year in the WHL. The 20-year-old was the leading scorer for Everett as the Silvertips finished second in the US Division. He collected 42 goals and 38 assists in 72 games and posted a +36 plus/minus. In the playoffs he had 10 points in seven games to lead Everettt.
2010-11: Harper split his first pro season between AHL Adirondack and ECHL Greenville. Harper joined the AHL Phantoms in November after opening the season in the ECHL and appeared in 20 games before returning to Greenville in early January. He finished with 1 goal with 2 assists and was -9 with 4 PMs for Adirondack. Harper was tied for second with 22 goals for Greenville despite appearing in just 48 games for the Road Warriors and had 23 assists with a +18 plus/minus and 20 PMs. In 11 playoff games with Greenville he scored 4 goals with 6 assists and was an even plus/minus with 2 PMs.
2011-12: Harper had a solid, if unspectacular second pro season playing a two-way role for Flyers' AHL affiliate Adirondack. He was the Phantoms' sixth-leading scorer with 13 goals and 14 assists and was minus-nine with 43 penalty minutes in 70 games. Adirondack missed the AHL playoffs: finishing fifth in the Northeast Division.
2012-13: Harper played 48 games for Adirondack in the AHL and skated for the ECHL's Trenton Titans. He scored 5 goals with 5 assists for the Phantoms and was -17 with 35 penalty minutes. Adirondack missed the playoffs after finishing last in the Northeast Division. Harper had 27 points in 15 games with Trenton, scoring 14 goals with 13 assists, and was +3 with 2 penalty minutes. Harper was obtained by the Islanders from Philadelphia as part of the Mark Streit trade in June but was not tendered a qualifying offer; becoming a restricted free agent.
Harper is no longer in the Islanders organization, and is playing for the AHL's Chicago Wolves in 2013-14.

As you consider formalizing training for your own lender tellers, there are two conditions that deserve strong consideration: first instruction and ongoing coaching. Both can be challenging when the aim will be to have standard methods for completing tasks and functions and the expectancy of exceptional tellers. In my estimation, first teller instruction should take-no less than two weeks. After that period of time, the fresh teller must be assigned a "buddy," someone to perform with for a period of a couple of weeks, then in their own windowpane with their "buddy" in the window next to them to make it simpler to ask questions and seek aid. Managers tell me that it requires approximately six months before a new bank teller is completely integrated into the occupation. Therefore make sure the fresh teller has a life-line till they're confident and competent and your assessment in their operation meets or surpasses the satisfactory standard.
A fantastic tool for initial bank teller coaching is a customized teller training guide. First of all, the manual specifies what is expected of the teller. Every thing comprised in the manual expresses the expectations of an extraordinary teller. The manual details all the features, forms, techniques, etc. the teller may utilize to do their occupation along with step by step directions on how to get the program to complete the function. Besides those products mentioned previously, other issues you should think about including in your customized teller coaching handbook are: communication skills, the secrets to extraordinary customer service, sales practices, compliance and regulating (as it pertains to the teller), procedures regarding check-cashing, receiving tax obligations, cables, items delivered for group, fraudulent pieces and, obviously, what to do in every one of these circumstances. This listing is by no means inclusive; the manual must signify all that the bank has determined a fantastic teller must understand to realize and fulfill that aim. Ongoing teller instruction should happen when there is a change to a program, procedure, method, function, or ordinance, or when the worker cannot correctly perform any of those. I'd also advocate that the bank get a look at these essential success factors and ensure you build some on-going teller coaching times in to your calendar for those as properly. For example, tellers need to be reminded occasionally what to do in the event of a holdup, how to manage upset and tough customers, the best way to stay favorable, how to dress and behave in a professional way, in addition to how exactly to market and get, how to hear for meaning, how to maintain security codes and passwords, how to detect scams, and goods and service information, etc. The matters for ongoing teller coaching are several and are just restricted by what you see a teller should know to become successful. Time management, stress-management, presentation skills, pc skills (basic and advanced), problem-solving abilities, decision-making abilities and leadership skills are a couple I would add to your teller's ongoing instruction skill sets. We've got a lot of special days in bank, therefore when to teach can become a problem. Managers will state, "No Mondays or Fridays," "Never the day before or after a vacation," "Not on the first, third, fifteenth, or end-of the month." Not many good coaching days left! Inner webinars and/or video meetings allow you to conduct training without encouraging bank tellers to one location.
Today's bank teller is expected to know more and do more than ever before. Preparing and developing the lender teller with this awesome responsibility takes dedication, determination and commitment to your well-created and executed training strategy.
Some on-going coaching might be handled within an hr or 2 at the most. After-hours and Sunday coaching may trigger some moans from tellers and coaches alike, but by making it fun and offering a few prizes, you might find tellers eager to attend. Send tellers to community programs designed especially for tellers. Put money into online programs specifically tailored for bank tellers. I might use some of the seasoned tellers to assist deliver training. It's an excellent way to reward a good musician, and the person training consistently learns the most. Do a web search for lender coaching alternatives and investigate what works best for the bank and budget. Donate to site notifications that have information your bank tellers have to know. Send out training packages where the tellers read the enclosed information, answer prepared queries, and sign a sheet they will have read and comprehended the advice, sending straight back to the trainer (or you) the questions site and the sign off sheet. In most training circumstances, evaluation is the secret to understand if the training is staying, if the information is imparted, and whether the learning happened. Conversation Training's free Teller Declaration Form is an excellent tool for appraising if the lender teller is performing to standard. If you see patterns linked with maybe not managing or blunders, it may suggest what needs more consideration in training or what instruction might need to be enriched. If the evaluation indicates a teller is not performing to the standard, then the manager has an obligation to coach the lender teller to better functionality. Definitely, instruction might not function as the problem. Only by coaching will the far more aspects at this website supervisor decide what's preventing the bank teller from executing to expectation and help them with a plan for improvement.
The old saying goes, "the road to success is paved with good intentions." Regarding having well-trained bank tellers, the road to success is paved with created processes. Created processes become the keystone of all instruction together with the guide points for tellers who must find advice or brush up on how exactly to complete a project or perform. Once created and tested for correctness, ensure that the procedure finds a permanent home on the business's Intranet where all workers have use of the info. Modifications to processes will happen, so make certain that only one individual has the obligation to upgrade the procedures on the Intranet. It really is critical that the written procedures are present. Layout a low-flexible approach to carrying when changes occur therefore that branches or the back-office are not overlooked or don't get notified about changes. No one needs to have out-of-date, printed duplicates of procedures they refer to - utilize the Intranet and keep the processes current.

I am literally hooting with laughter trying to write this.
Brand is clearly skipping town. Why? He put his house on the market! If he ends up signing with the Warriors, this will be the most obvious escape plan ever. If he resigns with the Clippers, well, exactly no one will be surprised. So if you're in LA, before you kick the bum that's hanging around outside the Blockbuster, hold up. It might just be Elton Brand. Only not. Ever.

Dortmund sign 21-year-old Serbian midfielder Milos Jojic through 2018 |
By Ciaran Fahey, AP Sunday, February 2, 2014, 12:46 am TWN |
BERLIN--Borussia Dortmund signed Serbian midfielder Milos Jojic and Werder Bremen presented attacking midfielder Ludovic Obraniak in the Bundesliga's most eye-catching deals on Friday as the transfer window closed.
Wolfsburg playmaker Diego completed his return to Atletico Madrid, where the Brazilian spent a successful loan season in 2011/12, for a reported fee of 1.5 million euros (US$2 million). Diego's contract with Wolfsburg was to expire at the end of the season and the Volkswagen-backed club had already brought in a replacement in Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne. De Bruyne proved to be the biggest winter arrival to the Bundesliga following his switch from Chelsea for a fee reported to be around 20 million euros (US$27 million). Dortmund reached agreement with Partizan Belgrade for a reported fee of around 2.2 million euros (US$3 million) for the 21-year-old Jojic, who signed a contract through June 2018 with his new club. "We are very pleased to have signed such a versatile midfielder with enormous potential to complete our squad," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said. Jojic had been the standout performer in the Serbian first division with six goals and seven assists in 15 games before the winter break. He also scored on his Serbia debut in a friendly against Japan in October, his only international appearance to date. Jojic provided Dortmund with another option following the season-ending injury to Poland midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski and Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan's ongoing back problems. Bremen's capture of Obraniak from Ligue 1 side Girondins Bordeaux came at the "right time," according to the player. "For me it's a whole new step. I've only played in France up to now," said the 29-year-old Obraniak, who signed through June 2016. Obraniak previously played five seasons at Metz before switching to Lille in 2007. He helped Lille to the league and cup double in his first season and joined Bordeaux in January 2012. The French-born player has made 32 appearances for Poland. "I feel French but also have Polish blood. It's an honor to play for the Polish national team," Obraniak said at his Bremen presentation. Relegation-threatened Nuremberg signed Spanish youth international Jose Campana on loan from English Premier League club Crystal Palace with an option to buy at the end of the season. "He can play in many positions across midfield," Nuremberg chairman Martin Bader said of the 20-year-old former Sevilla player. The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper reported that Hamburger SV had signed former Germany defender Patrick Owomoyela to the end of the season. The 34-year-old Owomoyela had been without a club since his Dortmund contract expired last summer. Croatian striker Srdjan Lakic returned to second-division Kaiserslautern on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was on loan to the end of the season from Wolfsburg. Lakic previously played for Kaiserslautern between 2008-11. Hoffenheim also cut its wage bill, by letting Matthieu Delpierre go on a free transfer to Dutch side Utrecht. He was the fifth player to depart the club in January - the most for any German club. Altogether, the 18 Bundesliga clubs signed 33 new players in the winter transfer window, while 40 left. Germany's dpa news agency estimated that almost 40 million euros (US$54 million) was spent, with around 13.5 million (US$18.2 million) recouped through sales.

Political Institutions and Sorting in a Tiebout Model
The authors construct a computational model of Tiebout competition and show that political institutions differ in their ability to sort citizens effectively. In particular, they find that certain types of institutions--those that become more 'politically unstable' as citizen heterogeneity increases--perform relatively poorly given a single jurisdiction, yet these same institutions perform relatively well when there are multiple jurisdictions. The authors provide an explanation for this phenomenon which draws upon simulated annealing, a discrete nonlinear search algorithm. Copyright 1997 by American Economic Association.

Big Journalism reports
Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.
We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I've lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I've gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.
Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us

Comment Wrong conclusion. (Score 3, Insightful) 309
If the reason Kodak failed is because they failed to see the shift in attitude towards photographs, then why is it that traditional camera makers like Canon and Nikon are alive and well?
I think the writer failed to see the obvious here. The reason Kodak failed is because Kodak is primarily a film and photo chemicals maker and not primarily a camera maker. With less people using film it is obvious Kodak can't base its business model on an obsolescent technology. Nikon and Canon are primarily camera makers and they were able to make the shift to digital successfully. Kodak was not.
Kodak's error was that it decided to hold onto a flawed business model rather than just closing down the company and returning the assets to the stockholders. Some companies are destined to close down. It's just the way it is.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Molly fish backflip
Molly fish backflip so my white sailfin molly fish is doing back flips. he starts drifting backwards, nose in the air, until he is verticle (nose pointing up) then proceeds to flip backwards. I have a small school of mollies in a community tank. Aside from the one doing backflips, the other mollies exibit normal behavior. i'm new to molly care, i have 2 weeks of experience...but i have been reading every single blog and info site around for HOURS a day for the past couple weeks. any ideas why the molly is doing back flips? (10 gal, bubbler, filter, heater, fed flakes and peas) |
I read in a fish book that when a fish points himself straight up its a sign of submission No idea if there is any truth to that but is there a fish that chases him around? i have a silver molly that is mean as a chicken sandwich to my dalmation molly (although if you have a school of more than like 8 fish itll be hard for you to spot the chicken sandwich fish :/) |
sometimes fish exhibit unnatural behaviors as such to remove parasites from the body. ie back flips, rubbing, swimming in circles. i would take a real real close look and see if the molly has anchor worms or any noticeable external parasite. if not i would say you have a molly that enjoys back flips lol :) |
Best thing would be to put it in its own tank and monitor it for a week or two... How long has it been doing this? Does it do it on the airstone, or in an area of strong current? |
well my hunch is parasites. i have a dalmation molly that i moved into a seperate tank because it was lying on the gravel and developing a white stringy fungus on his belly, dorsal fin, and tail. i also noticed that the dalmation molly now seems to have a noticably frayed tail. i moved him suspecting it was fin rot. the other fish had seemed fine except the one doing backflips btw the submission thing sounds rite to me because i have an agressive dalmation molly in the community tank and the other males point their nose in the air usually when they are being passive agressive in response to his taunting. (backflip might be a sign of something else like parasites) im nervouse my fish have ich. i see small faint white specks on their fins and tails. (no salt in water) soooo thoughts on treatment? (thanks for the earlier responses btw) |

StG-58 slings
Are they any different than a German K98 sling? I saw a guy shooting an StG-58 w/ original sling the other day and was checking it out and it basically looked to me like a regular K98 sling, without the stock keeper piece of course. I didn't have a K98 with me to compare the width and length but after looking at one of my slings later it looks like you could just fold the end over that goes in the stock keeper and put one of the regular sling studs thru it and it would be about the same.

On Originality and Divine Revelation
Cory Tucholski
7/19/2011 / Christian Apologetics
Peter Breitbart's short film A Madman or Something Worse is the latest in a line of criticism of Jesus' teachings to carry an unspoken, but integral, underlying assumption that divine revelation must somehow be original in order to truly be divine.
So, I would like to pose the following question: Why must something be original in order to be considered divine revelation?
This criticism isn't unique to Breitbart. When I mention a teaching of Jesus or the Bible, the skeptic counters that said teaching predates the Bible or Jesus by centuries. I see this especially in connection to Jesus' ethic of reciprocity, the so-called Golden Rule. This little gem predated Jesus by quite a bit; centuries in fact.
The implication seems to be that if the Bible were truly God's word, that it would be 100% original. Or, that if Jesus were the Son of God, he'd say things that no mortal teacher had ever said.
So pointing out that things like the Golden Rule existed well before Jesus is somehow supposed to mean that Jesus isn't divine. Or that the Mosaic Law isn't divinely inspired because similar legal strictures existed 500 or so years earlier in the Code of Hammurabi.
So what?
We humans are made in the image of God. While every fiber of our being is tainted by sin, the fact of the matter is that we still retain part of this identity as God's special creation. And that means that it is possible for us to know morality when we see it, and that means that moral teachings might come from places other than the divinely inspired texts or the words of Jesus. It is possible that some enlightened individuals, though not divinely inspired in the strictest sense of the term, may have found part of the divine truths by means other than a word from God. Moreover, they might have discovered them before God revealed them in a divinely inspired teaching.
Given that humans are made in God's image, this isn't really unexpected.
Morality is absolute and objective. Our knowledge of morality can change, but what is right is always right and what is wrong is always wrong. Child sacrifice is just wrong, whether or not Canaanite society believed it was right and just.
Morality, therefore, is something that we discover as our knowledge increases; not something subjective that we put to a vote. Being made in the image of God means that this morality is written on our hearts and that we can gain a greater understanding of it as time passes. We can find a better path than even the morality on display right now.
And we probably will.
Two thousand years from now, an enlightened society will probably look at America 2011 and think that we are as backwards and as barbaric as we in America 2011 view the ancient Israelites and their Canaanite opposition.
The Bible is the divinely-inspired and objective guidebook to finding this higher morality, but no one is claiming that it is the only source of morality or even the first source of any particular moral teaching.
Now, some folks do claim that the Bible is the source of certain teachings, like the Golden Rule, but they're misinformed. Since, however, there's no reason (given that humans are made in the image of God) to believe that a teaching must be unique to the Bible or to Jesus to be true and divinely inspired, let's just educate the misinformed person and move on. Unless the skeptic is prepared to explain why a teaching must be unique in order to be divinely inspired.

Respondents also said there was progress in the automatic generation of care plans based on responses to assessment questions, as well as integration of case management adherence guidelines (CMAGs) to help case managers assess a patient's readiness to change. Health IT also helps to automate and execute follow-up tasks and to predict future medical costs.
However, the report notes that health IT systems have lost ground since 2008 in population stratification applications, which remain an underutilized function in care management software. Furthermore, there is the absence of predominant definitions and standardized methods of tracking outcomes and calculating return on investment within the healthcare industry, especially for care management interventions, the report says.
"Responses to the survey's satisfaction questions indicate challenges remain for mobilizing care management software platforms that satisfy the desires of case managers and other users," Cheri Lattimer, executive director of CMSA, said in a statement. "Only one in five respondents said that care management software helped them to 'spend more time' with patients."
Other results showed that about one in three respondents (36%) report being "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with their respective care management software applications. With regard to electronic medical records (EMRs), almost one out of every two respondents report being "very satisfied" or "satisfied" concerning EMR use in 2010 (45%), up sharply from the 2008 rating (30%).
The report also found that respondents are willing to embrace emerging communication strategies to support patients. A three-fold increase is anticipated in the use of text messaging, smartphone applications, and wireless remote monitoring over the next two years. Use of online personal health records (PHRs), member and patient portals, remote monitoring devices, social networking sites such as Facebook, and blogging and micro-blogging (including Twitter) are predicted to double. Correspondingly, the survey projects decreases in telephone conversations, written letters, and face-to-face contacts by 2012.

3 Shares the FTSE Should Beat Today
LONDON -- The upbeat week for the FTSE 100 has come to an end today, as the U.S. fiscal crisis appears to be back on after Republicans have dropped their tax reform proposal. The index of top U.K. stocks is down 0.76% to 5,913 points as of 9 a.m. EST, and now it does not look like it will break its 52-week high of 5,989 before Christmas.
Some constituents of the various FTSE indexes have fallen even further today. Here are three that are dropping.
BAE Systems
You would think that the awarding of a new 2.5 billion pound contract might cause a company's shares to rise, would you not? Well, that's not what happened to BAE Systems, whose shares have dropped 2% to 341 pence after the aerospace and defense engineer announced a new contract with the government of Oman. BAE is to supply the Oman Royal Air Force with 12 Typhoon and eight Hawk trainer aircraft, with deliveries due to commence in 2017.
Shares in BP dropped 0.8% after the oil giant announced a new share issue for investors wanting to take their shares as SCRIP -- that is, new shares instead of cash. BP's third-quarter dividend payment is due today, and the firm has issued nearly 73 million new shares to cover it. That might sound a lot, but BP already has about 20 billion shares in issue.
Speaking of dividends, with BP's share price still depressed, current forecasts suggest there will be a total dividend yield of 5% for the year to Dec. 31, rising to 5.3% next year.
Quindell Portfolio, the provider of software and services to the insurance and telecommunications sectors, has seen its shares bouncing up and down of late. Earlier this week the price picked up following a positive trading update, but today it's down 4.3% to 15.7 pence after the firm announced the acquisition of Silverbeck Rymer Solicitors.
The deal was by way of 97 million new Quindell shares plus 12 million pounds in cash.
Finally, how does Britain's ace investor Neil Woodford avoid share price falls? He goes for a strategy of buying solid blue-chip shares paying dependable long-term dividends. And in doing so, he has built a record of beating the FTSE for nine straight years. If you want to see how Woodford manages to beat the market, the free Motley Fool report "8 Shares Held By Britain's Super Investor" takes a look at some of his key holdings.

Budget doesn't close Western State Hospital wards
By and large, the budget that went public after midnight today and was approved and sent to Gov. Chris Gregoire a few hours later is not all that different from the Democrats' last offer a week ago. It avoids major cuts to disability and welfare benefits that Republicans had sought, it doesn't cut public schools or colleges, and it relies on a $238 million accounting trick.
But there are differences, and here's a big one for Pierce County: The budget doesn't call for closing any wards at Western State Hospital.

Green Tourism
With the silly season now upon us we look at the impacts of tourism in the wet tropics where some of the locals are behaving badly.
With the silly season now upon us, we thought it was time to consider some of the environmental effects of tourism.
A group of researchers at the CRC for Rainforest Ecology in Cairns have funding for seven years, to study the impacts of visitation and use on 112 sites in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. They began two years ago and program leader, Dr Steve Turton, says one of the key problems they've encountered is the unsavoury behaviour of some of the locals.
Steve Turton: We've been finding that for the most part the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area is not at this stage receiving high degrees of impact compared to some other areas, such as Yellowstone National Park overseas. On the other hand, what we have been finding is that the amount of impact very much depends on the user profile. And by users I mean we're comparing both tourists and locals, and we're finding that the impacts associated with tourism are not that bad in comparison to some of the impacts associated with locals using recreational sites in the Wet Tropics.
Alexandra de Blas: Can you give me an example?
Steve Turton: OK. Well we've done studies at some of the more high use sites of the Wet Tropics, such as Mossman Gorge, Cape Tribulation, which are mostly used by tourists. They often come on arranged tours, or they're fly-drive tourists. We've also looked at sites that we know tourists very rarely go to because they don't know about them, such as Graham Range, which is a site along the coast just south of Cairns, it's Graham Range National Park, and this site we found using various indicators, the biophysical impact is quite high despite the low levels of use.
Alexandra de Blas: What do you mean by the biophysical impact?
Steve Turton: We're looking at two types of impact. One is the impact of visitors on the ecology of the environment, if you like, the soils, the vegetation, the water and the wildlife. So the sort of biological and physical environment. And then my colleague Joe Reser he's been focused more on, if you like, the psychological impact of the user. He's focusing on things like perceptions of crowding, visitor satisfaction with sites, and so on. And obviously there's a close link between the biophysical impact and the psychological impact, because if people see an impacted site such as rubbish lying around, erosion, people interacting with animals when they're not supposed to, habituation of animals is a big concern at a lot of sites. That can actually lead to a reduction in visitor satisfaction.
So we're finding that visitor satisfaction is affected at some of these low use sites where there's quite high levels of impact. Whereas the more highly used sites like Cape Tribulation and Mossman Gorge, visitors generally are quite happy with their Wet Tropics experience.
Alexandra de Blas: So what do you do about these local areas which aren't used so much, but the impact is actually greater?
Steve Turton: Well I think this is one of the biggest dilemmas facing managers of the Wet Tropics. Where you've got a limited number of local sites, if you get locals being displaced from sites because suddenly the tourist industry decides they want to use sites that used to be used by locals. Locals are displaced to new sites and dispersion is probably the worst thing that can happen in something like the Wet Tropics, because it's mostly a fragile ecosystem. It's got a very low resistance, biophysical resistance to human impact.
So even low levels of use can lead to appreciable levels of impact.
So the dilemma for managers is that locals are going to need recreational sites, and the population of Cairns and surrounding areas is increasing quite rapidly, and the demand for recreational experiences is going up, because people have got more leisure time than they used to. And this is a global phenomenon, not just here. Therefore, the dilemma to managers is managing the few sites that they've got, I think in a more satisfactory way.
Alexandra de Blas: What sort of impacts have you found at these sites used by local people?
Steve Turton: OK, well there's evidence of graffiti, litter of human origin, bottles and sometimes faecal matter, some of these sites often don't have toilets supplied. Other things would include deliberate breakage of trees for lighting fires, even though fires are prohibited. People taking domestic animals, particularly dogs, into areas. People shooting in areas, all sorts of general sort of unsavoury things that don't really apply to national parks. So we found quite a lot of evidence of that, at some of these relatively low use sites that are mostly used by locals.
Alexandra de Blas: And how large is that problem?
Steve Turton: Well that problem, it's not throughout the Wet Tropics, but it's occurring at enough sites that it's obvious, from our studies, that something has to be done as part of the overall management plan. The fact that it's happening at, we've picked it up at at least a dozen sites, it's quite alarming, because these are sites that are in areas that have quite high fragility. The ecosystem cannot handle too much in terms of impact.
Alexandra de Blas: A lot of national parks and recreational areas around the world tend to get a break, a seasonal break during the winter, and the areas can recover from the visitor usage during that period. Is that the case in the Wet Tropics?
Steve Turton: I think it's definitely not the case any more. In the past, the time of highest use is always in the dry season, which of course is our winter, and then the wet season there'd be lower levels of use and the ecosystem would have time to recover.
We're not picking up that in our studies. We've compared wet and dry season data sets, and it shows that the levels of impact are just as high in the wet season as they are in the dry season, which does suggest that the system is pretty well at its maximum capacity now, in terms of visitation and use.
And therefore we're not getting a period of say a few months every year when there can be some recovery of the soil and vegetation and the animals and so on.
Alexandra de Blas: Now there's a new thing called Green Tourism, which is promoting tourism during the wet season. Does that raise alarm bells in terms of the recovery of the visited areas?
Steve Turton: Yes, it does, because if you think about it, the wet season is a time of the year when you're going to get the most severe impacts, particularly on the biological and the physical environment. You've got high rainfall, you've got therefore, if you've got people impacting on soils, you've got the greater risk of soil erosion, and the Wet Tropics is the wettest part of Australia and it's one of the wettest places in the world.
We get phenomenally high rainfall during this time of the year. So from an erosion point of view, we have concerns. And I guess we've also got concerns from the point of view of possibly some of the animal species that may require times of the year when visitation should be kept to a minimum. It may be affecting their reproduction and their breeding cycles and so on.
So the fact is that the wet season is normally seen as a time for recovery; with this push towards Green Tourism, which is promoting the idea of the green season, not telling people it's actually very, very wet, because they wouldn't come, is actually attracting people from North America and Europe, who are escaping the winter and they're coming to North Queesland during the wet season. And they're wanting to go out and visit some of these areas, and this is when the impacts occur.

Can you beat Wendell once again to win some quick cash?
9 hours ago
South Sydney will lodge an official complaint with the National Rugby League over referee Bill Harrigan's decision to penalise captain Bryan Fletcher for a double movement in yesterday's loss to St George Illawarra.
Souths chief executive David Tapp has confirmed the club intends to make a formal complaint to referees boss Robert Finch over the matter. Harrigan penalised Fletcher for a double movement when attempting to score a try in the 73rd minute of yesterday's game at the SCG, which the Dragons won 18-16.
TAPP says the club needs to express its dissatisfaction with the decision.

One of my friends Renata moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday. To celebrate her last day here, our friends met at her house for a barbecue and party. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this was to be a barbecue to end all barbecues. Take a journey with me, won't you?
We started by arriving at her house around 5:00. Planning ahead, I had an early lunch to account for the dinner time barbecue, so I arrived a little hungry to begin. Some other friends were already there, and were drinking cheap beer (Escudo, the Miller Lite of Chile) mixed with a little Fanta. I have to admit, I was pretty intrigued by the proposition of a delightful orange soda to cut the taste of a bad beer. Sounds like a good idea, right?
It wasn't. It tastes absolutely disgusting. Escudo and Fanta together tastes like you added a couple packets of old Splenda and a teaspoon of red number 5 and yellow number 40 to an already bad beer. The opposing flavors of sweet and bitter wage war within your mouth, and your poor tongue is left to clean up the spoils after. I choked it down in 4 well-spaced out slugs, and then settled in with a plain Escudo to sip on for the rest of the afternoon.
Some more friends trickled into the house over the next couple hours. Eventually at about 8, Wasi looks at me and says "Time to go get the stuff, man". I nod, expecting to be lead into the kitchen to grab the barbecue meats and charcoal. Nope. Instead, we end up collecting money from everybody, and then jump in his car to hit multiple grocery stores and little tiendas to get all the necessary items for the barbecue.
Once we got back, it was almost fully dark outside. Some of the people were still sitting around, while some were preparing the tables and grill. The music playing was a playlist from one of the guys computers, and it oscillated between American hip hop, and Chilean funk and hip hop. They meshed together surprisingly well.
Finally, it was time to start the barbecue. This one was to be a little different than your average on-the-grill experience. They called this a "discada", but I think a more appropriate term would be "a middle finger to all vegetarians". We started with a couple onions and garlic...
Then we added some little chicken wings, and white wine to cook them in...
And then, we threw in some boneless pork ribs...
You might be thinking to yourself, "Erik, I thought you said pork. That looks like just good old-fashioned steak in his hand." To which I would reply "Sharp eyes, dear reader. But if you look closely, you can see that the pork has already been added to the discada. The beef is simply waiting in line."
So yes, the beef came next. After a couple minutes, the discada looked something like this:
Looking pretty good, right? At this point, I'd say the vegetarians would be pretty up in arms.
But let's stick it to them a little harder. Mariscos!
So for those of you keeping track, we currently have a barbecue dish which contains chicken, pork, beef, and two different types of clams. Your move, tree huggers.
And afterwards, we made more. Only with the next couple, there was even more meat, sausage, and chorizo in them thanks to a few people who showed up late.
Even though we didn't actually start eating until well after midnight, it was worth the wait. Good times.
We'll miss you, Renata!

Congrats, Chalene!
I need help with my diet, Chalene! Not sure where to ask this, but here I go. I was wondering if you could post somewhere (maybe your blog?) What the breakdown is for each meal in the "Turbo results guidebook". It says snacks are 200 cal. but what about breakfasts, lunches and dinners??? Why am I asking? I would like to substitute mainly some dinners and am not sure how many cal. your dinners are. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

I hope you read this Chalene! First, TJ (you) have helped me lose 10 sizes so far! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it(you)!!! I live in an apartment and, of cours, have to crank up the volume when I Jam! Well, I've had the police called on me and my upstairs neighbor complains, so I bought some wireless headphones, which don't work too well. I thought It'd be great for you or beachbody to "invent" some wireless earplugs or phones that will stay on while doing your workouts! For those of us who like to JAM but can't turn up the volume. Just a thought! Thanks so much Chalene!!!! You should see my pics! (Profile name is deniseausten)I've changed a lot-thanks to you! I'll keep pushing play...you keep the Cardio Parties comming!!!
Chalene- I have tried a few times to get through on the phone on qvc to do a testimonial- I will keep trying and am DETERMINED!
