They won't retain the trophy, I think that's a foregone conclusion. It's been so long since I've watched a proper England team play that it's ridiculous, they always seem to have injuries or are fielding weakened teams.

Don't really follow up it much but i know for sure England have struggled a lot since they won the WC. What the state really with them & star boy Wilkinson cause i guess he is the Flintoff of the Rugby side?
Jonny was awesome 4 years ago, but England did not win the cup because of him. Don't misunderstand me: Wilkinson was simply amazing!! However, England had a team which was like a tank. They had a pack which was AMAZING!! Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio were excellent. Then, I will not forget their backs. So, Wilkinson was just one piece of the puzzle. He could score lots of points because his team put him in the in the position to do that.
Do you remember the winning drop vs Australia? Wilkinson kicked it, but it was perfectly prepared by all the team. However, DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME: Wilkinson is a real superstar.

When England won the World Cup it was on the back of performances like 2002 when they beat the All Blacks, Australia and South Africa in consecutive weekends at Twickenham, the 2003 Grand Slam and the away victories against NZ and Australia. The latter is where they peaked, since they didn't play well in the World Cup, but their victory was years in the making.
We all know what's happened to them in the last few years, but they'll make the quarters where they might make life tough for Australia.
Wilkinson's an average to good player with an excellent boot. Not a top class one.

Mount Rainier ranger killed in climbers' rescue
Rangers try to rescue 4 stranded climbers on Washington mountain
The family of a Mount Rainier National Park ranger who died while helping rescue four climbers both grieved and celebrated his life Friday, as authorities faced the grim task of recovering the body of one of their own.
Nick Hall, 33, slid more than 3,000 feet to his death Thursday as he was helping evacuate climbers from a crevasse by helicopter near the summit of the 14,411-foot mountain.
Hall, a four-year veteran of the park's climbing program, came from a family of EMTs who aided soldiers in Iraq and car crash victims in his small hometown of Patten, Maine. He was not married and had no children.
His father, Carter Hall, recalled his son as a loner when he was a child, but flourished in high school through a shared love of the wilderness.
"For good and bad, it was my influence of the outdoors," Hall told The Associated Press in a call from his Maine home, his voice breaking.
A Chinook helicopter from Joint Base Lewis-McChord removed three of the four climbers from Waco, Texas, and rangers stayed overnight with the fourth person. Poor weather complicated rescue and recovery efforts Friday, with snow falling above 10,000 feet, the level where Hall landed after the slide.
The remaining climber and four rangers started down the mountain early Friday and should be able to walk out unaided, but park officials still hoped a helicopter would be able to pick her up and also recover Hall's body, park spokesman Kevin Bacher said.
Visibility remained poor Friday afternoon, but rangers were hoping for a break to allow a flight, said spokeswoman Brandi Stewart.
The park withheld the names of the Texas climbers until their families were notified.
They had reached the summit and were on their way down, roped together, when two women fell into the crevasse on Emmons Glacier. Two men were able to stop the group, and one called for help by cellphone.
Rangers and the helicopter responded to the site at the 13,700-foot level. A helicopter airlifted the three to Madigan Army Medical Center at the military base near Tacoma, where they were hospitalized in fair condition Friday, said spokesman Jay Ebbeson.
The climbers were bruised with possible broken bones, Bacher said.
Hall had helped put three climbers into the helicopter when he fell. The park is investigating exactly how he fell, Bacher said.
"We don't want what happened to Nick to happen again," he said. "There's no urgency today; nobody's life is at risk today. Let's take it slow and make sure nobody else is hurt."
"We're a very small team and particularly the climbing team - basically 15 people under the climbing foreman," said Bacher, who also is a ranger. "And they work very close together and train close together and depend on each other for their lives and become very close."
Hall's family said they were proud of his involvement in mountain rescues, and hoped that his death will draw attention to the profession's dangers.
Hall's father is a volunteer firefighter and EMT in Patten, and his older brother, Aaron, served in the National Guard as an EMT in Iraq. Aaron Hall celebrated his birthday on the day his brother died on the mountain.
Nick Hall had worked as an avalanche forecaster at Yellowstone National Park and as an emergency medical responder for the ski patrol at Washington's Stevens Pass Ski Area, his father said.
When he spoke to him about risks, Carter Hall said, his son responded that dying by heart attack "was also a risk in life."
Hall was the second Mount Rainier National Park ranger to die this year. Margaret Anderson was fatally shot on New Year's Day as she tried to stop a suspect in a Seattle shooting who drove through a tire-chain checkpoint. Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, was found dead the next day in the snow.
Rescuers are still looking for four other people - two climbers and two campers - who disappeared on the mountain in January. "We're keeping our eyes out for them as the snow melts out," Bacher said.
About 10,000 climbers attempt to reach the summit of the volcano about 85 miles southeast of Seattle each year and about half make it, he said.

Gov. Jerry Brown is about to come under criticism -- for an action that is compromising. And necessary.
The governor is raising money. Specifically, he and his allies are raising money to support the tax-hike ballot initiative that he wants voters to approve in November 2012. According to news reports, the initiative committee has raised $1.2 million in a few weeks.
Since that money comes from individuals and interests (Indian gaming tribes, the hospital industry, unions) who stand to gain from the governor's decisions, you can expect to see the governor criticized and scrutinized for compromising the appearance of independence.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
That criticism might be fair elsewhere -- but not in California. The state's system of budgeting and governance is so complicated that doing anything of significance, particular in fiscal matters, requires going to the ballot. And going to the ballot costs money. A governor who doesn't raise money isn't doing his job.
Sacramento insiders, in fact, have been privately critical of Brown for precisely that -- being slow to raise money. He has been remarkably slow to do so. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger began raising money for his various ballot measures during the transition period before he took office.
Schwarzenegger was criticized for his fundraising, too. The irony is that much of that criticism came from his political opponents -- including unions and other interests that are going to give money to Brown's ballot measures.
So what if you don't like this kind of fundraising? Hold the criticism, and work to change the California system so that it isn't as complicated -- and doesn't require going to the ballot to make fiscal policy.

The Greatest Teen Movies of the 1980s
List Rules Teen movies from the 1980s. Vote up the greatest 80s teen movies.
Few decades have made their mark on film quite like the 1980s did. The era of John Hughes and oh so many classic teen movies, the 80s was the decade of classics like Heathers, Sixteen Candles, Can't Buy Me Love, and Some Kind of Wonderful. This list has been voted on by men and women to rank the all time best teen movies from the 1980s.
Movies have the ability to make us feel. They make us want to believe, be inspired, and live vicariously through the stories we see on screen. Teen movies often resonate with us the most as our teenage years are the most angst-ridden and formative years of our lives. Movies that tell the story of nerds and outcasts connect with many people. It is with a peek into the lives of these individuals that we can either find solace, live vicariously, or connect with a story similar to our own. These movies vary in their genre but they are all equally fascinating.
They 80s was also a decade that created many iconic stars like Molly Ringwald, River Phoenix, John Cusack, and Matthew Broderick. Many of these 80s teen movie stars went on to have successful film careers as they grew older as well, and some are still working today.
Vote up the best teen movies from the 1980s or add the greatest 80s films about teenagers that you love, if they aren't already on the list.

ONARCHITECTURE- Building stories: Preservation, the Mall, mark '08
Brick Shtick: In 2008, we said a long good-bye to the Mall's embattled brick work after 32 years of service. Come May, we hope, the Mall's $7.5 million re-bricking job should finally make it safe for Manolo Blahniks.
Last year, we cited the housing slump as one of 2007's big stories. It's hard to believe things could have gotten worse, but as everyone knows, they did.
Over the summer, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said falling U.S. home prices were "nowhere near the bottom," and Princeton Economist Paul Krugman said that prices "probably still had a long way to fall."
Indeed, 2008 has been an exercise in painful acceptance for property owners and investors who have had to watch the value of their holdings "adjust." And there appears to be more adjusting to come.
Still, that didn't bring activity in our physical world to a complete halt in 2008, and it was actually a banner year for local preservation efforts, thanks in large part to the late-December 2007 demolition of the Beta House on Maury Avenue.
So, without further ado, here are two stand-out stories from 2008.
The Downtown Mall
After years of neglect, something chief city planner Jim Tolbert admitted to, saying, "We've not done all the maintenance we could have," the City finally approved $7.5 million to re-brick and spruce up the Downtown Mall. But not before a heated public debate about its cost, its design, and even its necessity. As downtown merchants watched the city go overtime on the Third Street re-bricking, which took nearly a year to complete though only a small fraction of the size of the Mall, some wondered if the proposed Mall project would suffer the same fate.
"I think it's a much-needed improvement," said Joan Fenton, a downtown business owner and co-chair of the Downtown Business Association, in January, "but I'm fearful, based on the city's track record, that they will end up destroying the Mall in the process."
Indeed, when early design plans for the Mall project were released, they included numerous additions, including two new fountains and a so-called Sister City Plaza on the west end.
By mid-June, City Councilors appeared frustrated with the plan, which in February they had asked to have scaled down.
Councilor Satyendra Huja characterized it as a "Christmas tree" project, with everyone adding their favorite bulb, and later called for a full accounting of the project to see where cost savings could be realized.
"Why hasn't the price tag changed?" Mayor Dave Norris inquired at a June 16 meeting, emphasizing again that Council had asked to have it scaled back.
Eventually, it was scaled back, though the budget never changed (though construction bids might have come in at a discount).
As for the design, original designer Lawrence Halprin joined local preservationists in outrage about the city's plans to use standard-sized brick pavers, and the City agreed to use 4" x 12" bricks, the elongated original that Halprin had used.
However, throughout the planning process, many wondered why the re-bricking needed to be done at all.
"It just needs to be maintained," said developer Oliver Kuttner. "There are pedestrian areas in Europe that are 200 years old. Let it become an antique old Mall. Hire a maintenance crew, some masons, and have them go up and down. It would probably cost less than $200,000 a year."
But this was something City Council never seriously considered, preferring instead to believe what city planning staff kept telling them; that the brick work on the Mall was now beyond repair.
Though many downtown merchants had originally called for the project, and later called for it to be done in the shortest time frame possible (the city hopes to have the project finished in May), as the year progressed and the economy began to suffer, anxiety began to grow.
In 2008, shops and restaurants on the Mall seemed to be dropping like flies, either closing or moving– Order from Horder, Sage Moon Gallery, Innisfree World Artisans, Les Yeux du Monde, Migration: A Gallery, Shirley Barrett's nail salon, Bohème, OXO, and Al Dente.
Event the old Mall kiosk, last used as a flower shop, was sold off in a sealed-bid auction to Keswick resident Richard Hewitt for $2,011. We recently took a look at the directory in front of the Omni hotel, and it seriously needs some updating, as many of the shops and restaurants listed are no longer with us.
Of course, some still wonder why the re-bricking is necessary. As Kuttner and others have pointed out, brick pedestrian ways have been maintained for hundreds of years in Europe, as has brick work in places like Old Town Alexandria and in historic sections of Williamsburg and Boston.
And have you ever picked up one of those old loose Mall bricks? We suggest you try it before they are gone. Long and thick and heavy, they seem too substantial to be discarded or pulverized. But they would certainly make nice door stops for the shops whose doors are still open in May.
The Beta House fall-out
The Beta House, also known as the Compton House, was an Italianate residence long occupied by the Beta Omega Pi fraternity. After its purchase last year by the Jefferson Scholars Foundation, the group announced– after winning the right from the City and County to issue $18 million in tax-free bonds– that it would raze the structure.
Despite public outcry, the Foundation went ahead with the demolition to make way for its new $21 million headquarters on the Maury Avenue site. Council members said they assumed the Foundation was going to preserve the building when they approved the bond issue, but they were wrong.
Some preservationists called the demolition of a structure designed by famed local architect Eugene Bradbury "disgusting" and a "vandalism" abetted by the public treasury, and the City's preservation planner, Mary Joy Scala, called the destruction "a lost opportunity to demonstrate that preservation is the cornerstone of sustainability."
The unapologetic demolition energized the preservation community and prompted Scala to present a plan to better protect historic properties at a January 7 City Council meeting at which councilors Dave Norris, Satyendra Huja, Holly Edwards, Julian Taliaferro, and David Brown all appeared to be in favor of better protecting historic properties.
"We need to act, with all due haste," Taliaferro said. And responding to the frustration over the loss of the Beta House, Brown said, "I deeply regret we didn't take a closer look."
Council then directed the Board of Architectural Review to come up with a list of key historic properties prioritized based on the threat of demolition. The BAR reviewed hundreds of such properties, compiled by Scala, and eventually selected 12 for special protection, including the Fry's Spring Service Station and the Fry's Spring Beach Club on Jefferson Park Avenue, the circa-1937 Monticello Dairy Building on Grady Avenue, and the Patterson Wing of Martha Jefferson Hospital.
In essence, the designations protected the properties from demolition or alteration by giving the BAR the same review power it would have if the property were located in a designated historic district. In the past, City Council asked property owners for their permission to make these designations, but now they appeared ready to enforce them.
Almost immediately, the new policy raised some hackles.
"The designation means that we'll have to give up our ability to control the property to a governmental entity. That bothers me," said Ed Gillaspie, president of the Fry's Springs Beach Club, a not-for-profit institution along Old Lynchburg Road that was originally built as a resort hotel in 1890.
"The owners understand the City's desire to protect the building," said Mike Morris, manager of the Monticello Dairy Building, raising the hot-button issue of property rights when discussing the possible designation, "but we're worried about the future development potential."
Finally, near the end of the year, Preservation Piedmont announced the formation of a new group, the Piedmont Area Preservation Alliance (PAPA), an umbrella group of about a dozen organizations that plans to meet twice a year to establish preservation priorities, and most notably, to notify one another of when places are endangered.
Late in 2008, both Charlottesville City Council and its Board of Architectural Review managed to save the Moon-Henderson House on 10 1/2 Street from the wrecking ball, denying owner Bill Chapman permission to demolish.
But despite the decision, and despite all these new preservation efforts, there's one thing preservationists simply can't fight: the market.
According to city code, Chapman can put the property up for sale at fair market value, and if he can't find a buyer within 12 months, he has the right to demolish it, despite the wishes of the BAR and City Council. And since Chapman has already put the Moon-Henderson House on the market, listing it for last year's City assessment of $162,600 (he bought it in 2005 for $115,ooo), the clock is already ticking.
It would have cost $300,000 to renovate the 1,400 square foot building, and because of the small lot size and required setback, there was no room to add an addition, according to Chapman, who says he understands Council's decision not to green-light a demolition.
"Why approve a demo in light of the Beta House," says Chapman, "and why make an unpopular decision when there's a process in place to let the market decide its fate?"
"Did the Beta House experience wake us up to the need to be more proactive in saving our local history from the wrecking ball?" asks mayor Norris. "Absolutely."
Norris also thinks the "process" Chapman mentions is a good one.
"If the community values a particular building enough to save it from demolition, then the community has a year to raise the funds necessary to purchase and renovate that building," he says. "In the meantime, the owner is prevented from demolishing it."
Of course, in a year of mass foreclosures, bank failures, and bailouts, some might question the wisdom of letting the market decide the fate of anything.

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Costa Rica - Monthly Update November 2010
As we near the end of the year we are getting increasingly busy working on details for next year's projects and ensuring we get all the information we need for this year to complete the end of year reports.
Ensuring that we have all of this information has been no small task, looking back over all of this year's investigations and noting the details, if any, we have missed takes time and then of course we have to go out and get these details by going out into the field and finding them! Thanks to the valiant efforts of our super volunteers we have been flying ahead with this work and Eduardo our biologist is very happy with the results we have been getting lately.
Something that we are all ecstatic about though was the latest find we had from the sensor camera project which was finally a full detailed, full body photo of the Ocelot that we have been tracking around the park for the last 6 months! As you can see from this photo we couldn't have gotten a better shot, previous images included just the tip of the tail or the back of a leg, so we honestly could not be happier with such an amazing photo!
We have also been working really hard with presentations for our investigation projects here in the park, so far we have managed to create a full presentation of the bat species of Barra Honda, as you can see from this photo, we have all 28 species with details on their feeding, breeding a sleeping habits, with English and Latin names. A more detailed, hi-resolution version is available on our Facebook page so if any of you want to learn more about our bats, the ones that most of you have helped us catch over the last year, then log on leave a message!
We are planning on making similar presentations for the Butterfly, Mammal and Bird species in the near future.
One of the bigger ideas we have planned for next year is to start a bird monitoring project, partly to have a constant registry of the bird species we have in the park, but also to create a similar photographic database and presentations of the bird species in the park. Up until this time there have been many investigations into the bird species in the park, but nothing so detailed in capture and photography, so beginning next year we will be capturing at least twice a month and walking twice a month taking a sighting registry as well. This information will be very useful for us with a lot of the other projects we are running as well because the birds have been investigated more in the past we have a good database to compare our current results too.
November has been very busy for other reasons too, technically the rainy season has now ended, and as I write this it certainly seems to be that way, the humidity has started going lower and lower each day (right now it's around 58%, a couple of weeks ago its lowest would be about 80%) and the dry season winds have picked up (daily average is about 30km/h and highs are reaching 50!) This has meant that we can finally start a lot of the clearing we have delayed because of rains and re-growth. So we have managed to clear the sides of the main entrance road, the camping area, the football field and the parking area now, hopefully for at least the 2nd to last time until the rains come again if not the last time! This has taken up a lot of our time this month but the result is very impressive, even if I do say so myself!
We have also been working on a new building for the park, after months of rain and the obvious increase in volunteer numbers the park decided that a more suitable laundry area was needed, somewhere closed, clean and adequate for 20 people doing washing each week, with a suitable drainage system to deal with all that waste water! It's a pretty tough job digging a hole 2m deep and 4m long!
We have been lucky enough over the last 6 weeks to have the help of 3 Costa Rican students as well, Rodrigo, Eric and Warren were a great help to us over the last 6 weeks, amazing workers and great addition to our volunteer team, even though they probably won't read this we want to say a big thank you to them, as well as all you other volunteers for helping out over the last 2 years that I have been in Costa Rica, without your help we wouldn't have been able to make this project the major success that it is quickly becoming!
We also received a visit from Suzi Lamb, who works in the UK office of Projects Abroad as the main liaison person for Costa Rica. It was a good chance for Suzi to meet some of our newer staff and she had a taste of the hard physical work at Barra Honda, when she helped to dig the drainage ditch for the new laundry. Suzi also met the current volunteers and visited the caves.
With Christmas and New Year just a few weeks away now we are getting in the Christmas spirit as well (not as much as the rest of you probably are considering the amount of snow you've been having in the UK at least!). Planning the parties and putting up the decorations is coming very soon and of course putting on the Christmas music... (what's in the charts right now, anything good?).
I won't be writing another update until the end of December, so to everyone who reads this, everyone from the Barra Honda National Park in Costa Rica wishes you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well! And we look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Although many economists this morning blamed the expiration of the payroll tax cut as a reason for unexpectedly poor employment numbers, the White House decided to blame the bad report on sequestration.
"It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look at employment since the beginning of sequestration," White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Alan B. Krueger explained in a statement this morning. "While the recovery was gaining traction before sequestration took effect, these arbitrary and unnecessary cuts to government services will be a headwind in the months to come, and will cut key investments in the Nation's future competitiveness."
By the way, people who know what's coming are taking advantage of our healthy & delicious storable food!

Selectmen react following three complaints lodged after race
By Kyle Stucker
Hampton Union, March 7, 2014
[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
HAMPTON — New concerns and complaints have surfaced about the impact and safety of large road races in Hampton, and local officials say they will take extra measures to ensure an upcoming marathon doesn't cause any problems.
Selectmen Dick Nichols and Mary-Louise Woolsey said Monday that the annual Half at the Hamptons caused "inconveniences" to local residents, specifically those trying to navigate the intersection of Woodland and Little River roads.
Nichols said "three complaints total" were received about the 1,200-runner half marathon on Feb. 23, including one resident who said he or she was "stuck" at that intersection for "37 minutes."
While Nichols admitted the problems during the Half at the Hamptons were "not a huge deal," he said more can be done to improve the overall impact of races because the Half at the Hamptons wasn't mentioned through Hampton's nonemergency notification system and no notice about the race was posted on the town's Web site. Nichols and other residents also reported that they didn't receive the customary fliers alerting them to the race and its intended route.
"It wasn't like there were problems all over town," said Nichols, who along with the rest of the selectmen reviewed and approved on Jan. 13 the routes for the Half at the Hamptons and the Oct. 5 Smuttynose Rockfest half marathon. "I'm bringing it up because as we head toward the October race, (the lack of alerts) could impact the inconvenience factor with the community."
Complaints and concerns last fall about large races' impacts on the community recently led to significant changes to the route of the annual Smuttynose Rockfest half marathon.
The race organizers, Loco Sports, announced last fall that the full marathon portion of the event would be canceled due to the concerns, which surfaced not long after two cyclists were killed and two others were injured during a non-competitive event in September.
Loco Sports officials later announced at a Jan. 13 selectmen's meeting, though, that they were working to organize a different Hampton marathon to make sure Hampton didn't completely lose a popular event that brings in significant revenue for local businesses. The route for the new marathon wouldn't use side Hampton roads, but rather start in the heart of Hampton Beach before sending its runners up Ocean Boulevard into North Hampton, organizers said at the time.
Loco hasn't announced final plans for the marathon, which at one point was slated for Oct. 26. Runners can currently only register for a half marathon version of the Rockfest.
Woolsey, a Little River Road resident who has been a vocal critic of the various race-related impacts on her road and other tertiary streets, said there is "no excuse for having people sit in their cars for half an hour."
"I'm tired of the inconvenience this has had on the public," she said. "(Cars) cannot — cannot — be stopped for long periods of time."
Nichols said Hampton should make their communication efforts for the Rockfest and the October marathon a "10" on "a scale of 1 to 10" to eliminate problems. He suggested the town use its electronic road signs this fall to raise awareness about the races in addition to making sure the events are included in the town's alert system and that Loco Sports "makes a very wide distribution of the mailers" in advance of the events.

Microsoft's battery-boosting Surface slab cover to ship soon
Now accepting preorders for Power Cover keyboard add-on
Six months after launching the second generation of its Surface tablets, Microsoft says it is finally ready to begin shipping an accessory that it says can extend the battery life of the fondleslabs by as much as 70 per cent.
The Surface Power Cover was announced during the Surface 2 launch but wasn't immediately available for sale, with Microsoft saying only that it would ship "in early 2014." That time now appears to be here.
The device is essentially a bulkier version of the original Type Cover – it's about 3mm thicker and weighs a tenth of a pound more – where the extra space under the keyboard is given over to an add-on battery that holds nearly as much juice as the Surface's built-in one.
The cover works by charging the slab's internal battery, rather than taking over when it goes dead, so you can unplug the cover after a while without worrying about losing power, then reattach it when your tablet needs a top-up.
Microsoft says the cover can extend the running time of the Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 by as much as 60 per cent, while the ARM-powered Surface 2 can gain as much as a 70 per cent boost, based on video-playback tests.
A Surface 2 can get up to 17 hours of running time with the Power Cover, according to Redmond's specs
Curiously, Redmond's original ARM-based tablet, the Surface RT, is not listed as being compatible with the Power Cover.
Keyboard-wise, the Power Cover isn't much to write home about.

This honeycomb grid attaches with hook and loop (velcro type) fastenings to the lip of our 27 x 200cm Strip Softbox.As with all honeycombs, there is some loss of light compared to the softbox without a honeycomb fitted, our tests showed this to be in the region of just 1 - 1.1 stops of light when used straight in front of the subject.
There is also a slight loss of softness when used straight in front of the subject, this is minimal when used at a distance but increases at closer distances because the honeycomb prevents light from the edges of the softbox from reaching the subject.The honeycomb grid is extremely useful for controlling both light spill and for preventing lens flare, especially when used for backlighting, or rim lighting. The effect can be seen in the 360 photo, which shows the amount of light blocking that occurs at various angles.

Qwest general counsel Rich Baer said today that the company would wait until after former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio has exhausted all of his appeals before deciding whether or how to recover the money it has advanced for Nacchio's legal fees.
Nacchio is serving a six-year prison sentence at a federal prison camp in Pennsylvania for illegal insider trading.
He has filed a petition for the Supreme Court to review his case. He has also asked a district court judge to grant him a new trial because of newly discovered evidence.
Qwest has not said how much it has spent on Nacchio's legal fees. Baer said the company doesn't consider the fees advanced to Nacchio thus far as "material" – or large enough to require public disclosure under accounting rules and regulations. Experts have estimated that Nacchio's legal bills could be as high as $75 million, based on tabs rung up by other high-profile white-collar criminals such as former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling.
Baer's comments came in response to a question from a shareholder at Qwest's annual stockholders meeting.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Eric Holder said today the killing of Trayvon Martin was a "tragic, unnecessary shooting" and that the 17-year-old's death provides an opportunity for the nation to speak honestly about complicated and emotionally charged issues.
In his first comments since the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Martin case, the attorney general said that Martin's parents have suffered a pain that no parent should have to endure. He said the nation must not forgo an opportunity toward better understanding of one another.
On Sunday, the Justice Department said it is reviewing evidence in the case to determine whether criminal civil rights charges are warranted.
The Justice Department opened an investigation into Martin's death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.
Holder said, "We are ... mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., last year."
"I want to assure you" that the Justice Department" will continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law," said Holder.
"Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised," Holder said in remarks to the 51st national convention of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
"We must not - as we have too often in the past - let this opportunity pass," he added.
The Justice Department says the criminal section of the Justice Department's civil rights division, the FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, plus evidence and testimony from the state trial.
The NAACP and others are calling on the Justice Department to open a civil rights case against Zimmerman. Thousands of demonstrators from across the country protested the jury's decision to clear Zimmerman in the shooting death of the unarmed black teenager.
Also today, the White House says President Barack Obama won't involve himself in the Justice Department decision on whether to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman. White House spokesman Jay Carney said it would be inappropriate for Obama to express an opinion on how the department deals with Zimmerman.

Many projects fail because they are launched without a clearly articulated reason why they're being pursued. Exploring the four dimensions of a compelling "why statement" can improve a project's chances of success.
Can you and your team members articulate in a few short sentences the underlying reason that brought your project into existence? If you can't, you're not alone: We have observed that in many corporate projects, team members cannot explain the point of what they are doing — and as a result, their projects are likely to fail.
When a project fails to achieve its objective, observers frequently chalk it up to politics, poor planning and weak execution.1 Our experience as embedded observers with several hundred teams in more than 50 organizations has taught us that these factors often flow from an initial omission. Whenever we observe a project team in trouble — frustrated, laden with conflict and struggling to deliver results — we ask members to articulate what compelled their project into existence in the first place. To our continuing surprise, we often discover these teams have not even discussed, let alone agreed on, why they are pursuing the project.
Not being able to articulate why the project is being done puts it at risk of losing support and momentum and decreases its chances of success.2 The lack of a clear and compelling "why statement" leaves a project with a blurred focus, and the initiative with a weak internal and external project brand — that is, a poor or questionable reputation both within the organization and with its external stakeholders.
As we emphasized in a 2011 MIT Sloan Management Review article, "Why Every Project Needs a Brand (and How to Create One)," strong project branding can help build momentum for project engagement and support.3 In this article, we argue that the best way to begin building that project brand is with a well-articulated, problem-focused why statement. The why statement serves as a useful tool that aligns the efforts of team members, leaders and other stakeholders, and it helps maintain support through all five project branding phases, from pitch to payoff. (See "How Why Statements Influence the Five Stages of Project Branding.")

Play by play, drive by drive, Tom Brady and his young targets are beginning to jell.
It's no finished product in New England, but the Patriots' offense -- in Sunday's 23-3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- made strides from the horror show we saw in Week 2 against the New York Jets.
It didn't start well for Brady. More than once, he atypically held the ball too long on pass attempts. It's clear his young receivers haven't caught up to New England's complex, option-drenched route-running scheme, save for Kenbrell Thompkins.
The undrafted rookie flashed some of his preseason magic, hauling in a pair of first-half touchdowns from Brady in a game that saw New England's defense do the rest:
Here's what else we learned:
1. One of Brady's uglier moments was ripped from Brandon Weeden's playbook: Early in the third, the Patriots quarterback locked in on rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld, tossing into double coverage for his only pick of the day. Thompkins and Julian Edelman were wide open; Sudfeld was double-covered. A rare poor decision that cost New England points.
2. The Patriots' pass defense -- no, their entire defense -- is underrated. Bill Belichick has put together a unit filled with athletic contributors. They came up with four critical fourth-down stops and allowed just three points in the first half for the second straight game.
3. Tampa's offense struggled. Josh Freeman was hurt by drops, but his spotty accuracy is killing the passing game. Rookie Mike Glennon was spotted warming up on the sideline in the second half. Greg Schiano stuck with Freeman, but a quarterback switch is coming. Bank on it.
4. New England's ground game overpowered Tampa's run defense for 156 yards on 33 carries (4.7 average). But my favorite run of the day? How about Brady pushing his way for a first-down carry on third-and-1 from the Tampa 8. He came into the season 88 for 91 on rushing attempts with one or two yards to go. Brady's successful attempt led to his second scoring strike to Thompkins.
5. One reason the Buccaneers' air game melted: Vincent Jackson left in the second half with a rib injury and never returned. We'll keep an eye on this one.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

State panel rejects state-run marketplace under Obamacare
LANSING –– A Michigan House panel on Thursday rejected a proposal to create a state-run online market where people can compare and buy health insurance plans, leaving Michigan to continue down the road of teaming up with the federal government on the mandated health exchange.
The House Health Policy Committee defeated the health exchange legislation by a 9-5 vote, with two members abstaining. The state Senate approved a bill, but the House delayed action because its Republican majority had opposed President Barack Obama's federal health care act.
With Obama's re-election, GOP leaders have acknowledged the president's health care plan will move forward and a decision must be made about the insurance exchanges that are part of the plan. The defeat came despite the belated support of House Speaker Jase Bolger, who opposes the Obama plan but believes a state-controlled exchange is preferable to one led by the federal government.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder prefers a state-run program, but his administration this month applied for a federal grant as a first step toward the fallback position of teaming with the federal department.
Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said that the House committee's rejection of the measure means the administration will stay on that path, but it keeps open the possibility of a state-run exchange if additional federal deadlines are extended or the House decides later to authorize it.
States have the option of creating their own exchange, teaming up with the federal government or having a federal system. More than 500,000 Michigan residents are expected to buy private insurance through the exchange once it's up and running in 2014, including some who already have coverage.
"It was my hope the committee would find that a state-run exchange afforded us more control over the unacceptable over-reach by the federal government regarding the health care of Michigan citizens," Bolger said Thursday in a statement. "However . . . it is clear that there were too many unanswered questions for the committee to feel comfortable with a state-run exchange and we will not have one in Michigan."
Committee Chairwoman Gail Haines, a Waterford Township Republican, said she was disappointed by the vote, particularly after Obama was re-elected and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the federal health care law.
"The people of this state have spoken," she said, adding the issue would remain dead "until there's a little bit more compromising."
Some Democrats opposed the legislation because it was linked to bills that would prohibit qualified health plans offered through a state exchange from providing coverage for elective abortion but would allow people to buy optional supplemental coverage for elective abortion outside the exchange. Democratic Rep. Kate Segal, a Democrat from Battle Creek, was one of two who abstained from voting because she said the committee rebuffed her bid to have the abortion bills separated from the larger health exchange legislation.

text: Tuesday, July 10, 2012 North Carolina Enacts Legislation Ensuring Patient Choice and Coverage of PT Services Patients in North Carolina soon will have the right to choose their physical therapist (PT) under their health benefits plan and ensure that PT services will be covered. SB 656, sponsored by State Sen Jim Davis (R) and advocated for by the North Carolina Chapter, was signed by North Carolina Gov Beverly Perdue (D) on June 29 and goes into effect October 1. SB 656 specifies that whenever an insurance policy provides for certification of disability that is within the scope of practice of a licensed PT, the policyholder, insured, or beneficiary will have the right to choose the provider of the services. According to Chapter President Dean McCall, PT, DPT, OCS, the chapter initiated the legislation after reports began surfacing that some patients were unnecessarily driving more than 90 miles and having to wait 3 to 4 weeks before being seen by other providers, when they could have been seen in their home town by their local physical therapist. In addition, SB 656 states that when any health benefit plan, subscriber contract, or policy of insurance issued by a health maintenance organization, hospital or medical service corporation, or insurer provides for coverage for, payment of, or reimbursement for physical therapist services, the insured or other persons entitled to benefits under the policy will be entitled to coverage or reimbursement for the services.

Now it is 3 weeks later and Amy and Dan are in Paris with Saladin and Nellie. They are trying to get back Mozart's music sheet that the Holts' stole from them. They need the music sheet to try and find the 2nd clue before any of their relatives do. Amy and Dan will need all the help they can get to survive the traps their relatives have set for them. They remember Mr. McIntyre telling them;" Trust no one." Amy and Dan don't know who they can trust; they don't even know if they can trust Mr. McIntyre anymore. Amy and Dan go on a really big adventure where they try to find the 39 clues. Read the 39 Clues: One False Note if you want to find out about Amy and Dan's journey to try and find the 39 Clues!
I really like this book because it is very adventurous and the book is just like a puzzle, Amy and Dan are trying to put all of the clues they find into one big puzzle. I think I am really like Amy because she really likes to read, and I do too. I really like the part where Amy and Dan try to solve the clue of Mozart's music sheet. There, Amy and Dan break into the Janus H.Q. to get more info on Mozart's music sheet.
I recommend this book for people who really like action and adventure stories. It would be a good book for people ages 7 & up because it has a lot of parts in the book where it is really funny, and it is a fairly short book, too. I hope you get a chance to read this awesome book!!!

Ally Financial announces renewal of $11 billion in credit facilities
DETROIT--Ally Financial Inc. has completed the renewal of $11 billion in credit facilities at both the parent company and at its banking subsidiary, Ally Bank , with a syndicate of 19 lenders. The secured facilities can be used to fund retail, lease and dealer floorplan automotive assets in the U.S.
"Supporting continued growth of our leading U.S. auto finance franchise through diversified funding sources remains an important priority at Ally, and renewal of these facilities is a key component of that strategy," said Ally's Corporate Treasurer Chris Halmy . "Interest from lenders in renewing these facilities was very healthy and an important demonstration of continued confidence in Ally's financial strength. Moreover, we continue to drive efficiencies and lower cost of funds through improved terms and reduced fees on these renewed facilities.
"Ally Bank 's robust growth in deposits has enabled less reliance on the capital markets, and further strengthened our financial profile and funding options," stated Halmy. "As a direct result of this continued deposit growth, the total facility size was reduced by $4 billion."
The $11 billion funding capacity is comprised of two facilities: an $8.5 billion facility which is available to the parent company, Ally Financial, and maturing in March 2015; and a second $2.5 billion facility available to Ally Bank which matures in June 2014. The two credit lines renew the credit facilities that were initially renewed by Ally in March 2011.
Ally Financial Inc. is a leading automotive financial services company powered by a top direct banking franchise. Ally's automotive services business offers a full suite of financing products and services, including new and used vehicle inventory and consumer financing, leasing, inventory insurance, commercial loans and vehicle remarketing services. Ally Bank , the company's direct banking subsidiary and member FDIC, offers an array of deposit products, including certificates of deposit, savings accounts, money market accounts, IRA deposit products and interest checking. Ally's Commercial Finance unit provides financing to middle-market companies across a broad range of industries.
With approximately $182.4 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, 2012, Ally operates as a bank holding company.

This article was reported by the Washington Business Journal.
The Washington Business Journal reported that Washington D.C.'s Whitman-Walker Health, a health center that specializes in HIV care, recently began offering Botox and Juvederm to its patients. The injectable fillers are used to treat HIV patients who suffer from lipodystrophy, or facial wasting. Having this ailment can cause depression in HIV patients as it can reveal their diagnosis. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services covers the cost of fillers if a patient is HIV-positive.
The health center, which some believe only treats poor HIV patients, provides many other services that are open to the general population. It offers primary care, acupuncture, Reiki, and massage. Later this year, it will offer travel medicines and vaccinations. By adding Botox to the offerings, even for cosmetic reasons, Whitman-Walker can increase its financial margins to continue to offer its services. The health center recently came out of hard financial times that forced it to lay off many employees.
Whitman-Walker has been working for several years to diversify its patient base and compete with other neighborhood clinics. Last year, the center received the status of "federally qualified health center," which provides federal funds to clinics that offer primary care on a sliding scale. It also received a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The brutal summer has continued to bring devastation to corn, soybeans and other staples, causing food prices to rise and roiling global commodities markets.
The pureplay Teucrium Corn Fund, (CORN) for example, has risen a further 5% in the past month, following a 25% spike which AdvisorOne reported the previous month, thus upending traders who assumed prices would not rise above corn's $8-per-bushel peak in July. As of Tuesday, the daily price of corn reached $8.58, representing a 25% increase year to date.
Experience teaches that the vagaries of drought, flood, disease and pests are entirely unpredictable, which is why individual commodity investing is considered high risk and really more akin to a bet.
And the demand side is similarly unpredictable, since supply shortages and their consequent price increases induce greater consumption of commodity substitutes that have decreased in price. (Lamb and beef prices have fallen this year, for example, and some industrial producers likewise have the ability to shift production inputs.)
So, to avoid commodities' wild ride, while gaining their investment benefits, which include their noncorrelation with equities and stock-like returns, many investors favor ownership of broad-based commodities futures indexes.
The best known index in the space is probably the Dow Jones-UBS Commodities Index, and retail funds based on this index include the popular PIMCO Commodity Real Return Strategy Fund (PCRIX). The other primary index in the space is the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index, and a popular ETF that tracks that index is the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (GSG).
But an article in the July/August issue of the Journal of Indexes, called Better Beta in Commodities Indexing, discusses a little-known index with long-term performance more than double that of either the Dow Jones-UBS or Goldman Sachs indexes. That index is the Longview Extended Commodities Index, which is available to retail investors through the Arrow Commodity Strategy Fund (CSFFX).
The author of the Journal of Indexes article, Jonathan Guyer, is an interested party. Guyer (left) is the principal and chief investment officer and portfolio manager of the Longview index. But the results he reports do not appear to be the usual ballyhooed superiority claims that are typical for the investment industry since Longview's long-term results stand out rather dramatically from its competition, precisely as the index (whose name, "Longview," is intended to convey its long-term focus) is designed to do.
In the 10 years ending June 30, the Longview Extended Commodity Index generated returns of 12.44%, compared with 4.95% for the Dow Jones–UBS index and 3.43% for the Goldman Sachs index. In a phone interview with AdvisorOne, Guyer, a commodities wonk who has analyzed the various indexes since 1994, said his index was unique because it was "attuned to replication costs associated with high-frequency index strategies" as well as the "rolling issues of contango."
Contango and backwardation refer to the shape of the curve of commodity prices when taking positions in commodities futures contracts. Guyer says "you want to mitigate the contango issue; you can't eliminate it."
While other indexes attempt to minimize contango and maximize backwardation in their efforts to achieve price momentum, Guyer's focus is on efficiency.
Through its use of far-dated futures contracts 12 to 15 months from expiration, Longview has lowered frictional costs and reduced volatility. Other benchmarks, which take positions in futures contracts just one to three months out, have standard deviations of 18% (DJ-UBS) or 25% (GSCI) compared with 17% for Longview.
Guyer says another key difference for Longview is that it is the only market-cap-weighted commodity index in the world. He approvingly cites Vanguard Group founder John Bogle as saying that any non-market-cap weighting is essentially "a directional bet"—in other words, speculation.
Rather than letting a committee or computer program project the direction of commodities prices, Longview's long-term approach, like Vanguard's, is to let market prices sort all that out as commodities prices constantly change and adjust to market conditions.
"What matters is supply and demand," he says.
