NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Talks with potential creditors on forging a bailout agreement for Cyprus will resume this week, the government spokesman said on Wednesday, easing concerns over the status of the negotiations in a country facing a cash crunch toward the end of the year.
Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said in a written statement that a negotiating team, made up of representatives from the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, is due to arrive Thursday. Talks between the Cypriot government and the so-called troika are then due to restart the following day.
"In light of the troika's arrival to Cyprus, the government reaffirms its determination to continue negotiations intensively, seriously and assertively with the aim of achieving an agreement on a loan form the support mechanism the soonest," Stefanou said.
However, Stefanou provided no details on the talks are expected to conclude.
Cyprus, a country of around 860,000 people with an €18 billion ($22.94 billion) economy, sought financial aid in June to support its ailing banks after they suffered massive losses from their exposure to bad Greek debt. It also needs the money to pay its bills because it has been unable to borrow from international markets for more than a year.
The bailout is expected to be between €11 billion and €17 billion ($14 billion and $22 billion). The difference is owed mainly to widely divergent estimates on the amount Cypriot banks will need to recover.
Before agreeing on the rescue loans, the potential bailout creditors need to make sure that Cyprus' policies are likely to bring its debt back down to affordable levels. Because of the sensitive nature of government spending cuts, such talks can take time to complete.
Stefanou appealed for domestic unity ahead of the negotiations and urged for an end to "speculation and rumor mongering" that creates confusion and spreads panic among the public and which "detracts from the goal of an agreement, which under the circumstances would best serve the interests of our country."
Word of the bailout came as the European Commission issued a dour outlook on Cyprus' economy, projecting that it will shrink 2.3 percent of gross domestic product this year and by 1.7 percent in 2013. Unemployment will continue to worsen, reaching almost 14 percent in 2014 as more jobs are lost in the slowing construction and trade sectors.


text: Sawing Rock is a synth bass driven piece, it starts with rolling toms and a funky style saw wave driven bass synth giving a hard edge. The synth bass filters down into the main theme which is pushed forward by distorted guitars playing a muted strum pattern with a lead guitar strumming single notes muted over the top, the heavy metal style tight drums giving a punchy feel to the whole thing. A short break in the middle with a chugging style metal guitar breaks back into the main theme for the end. This piece is ideal for sports projects or documentaries where a hard edge is required.

Laura Sandoval threaded her way through idling taxis and men selling bottles of water toward the entrance of the Cordova International Bridge, which links Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, to El Paso, Texas. Earlier that day, a bright Saturday in December 2012, Sandoval had crossed over to Juárez to console a friend whose wife had recently died. She had brought him a few items he had requested—eye drops, the chimichangas from Allsup's he liked—and now that her care package had been delivered, she was in a hurry to get back to the Texas side, where she'd left her car. She had a three-hour drive to reach home, in the mountains in New Mexico, and she hated driving in the dark.
Sandoval took her place in the long line of people waiting to have their passports checked by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). When it was her turn, she handed her American passport to a customs officer and smiled amicably, waiting for him to wave her through. But the officer said she had been randomly selected for additional screening. Sandoval was led to a secondary inspection area nearby, where two more officers patted her down. Another walked toward her with a drug-sniffing dog, which grew agitated as it came closer, barking and then circling her legs. Because the dog had "alerted," the officer said, Sandoval would now have to undergo another inspection.
In February, at an event at the 92nd Street Y's Unterberg Poetry Center in New York, while sharing the stage with my fellow British writer Martin Amis and discussing the impact of screen-based reading and bidirectional digital media on the Republic of Letters, I threw this query out to an audience that I estimate was about three hundred strong: "Have any of you been reading anything by Norman Mailer in the past year?" After a while, one hand went up, then another tentatively semi-elevated. Frankly I was surprised it was that many. Of course, there are good reasons why Mailer in particular should suffer posthumous obscurity with such alacrity: his brand of male essentialist braggadocio is arguably extraneous in the age of Trump, Weinstein, and fourth-wave feminism. Moreover, Mailer's brilliance, such as it was, seemed, even at the time he wrote, to be sparks struck by a steely intellect against the tortuous rocks of a particular age, even though he labored tirelessly to the very end, principally as the booster of his own reputation.
It's also true that, as J. G. Ballard sagely remarked, for a writer, death is always a career move, and for most of us the move is a demotion, as we're simultaneously lowered into the grave and our works into the dustbin. But having noted all of the above, it remains the case that Mailer's death coincided with another far greater extinction: that of the literary milieu in which he'd come to prominence and been sustained for decades. It's a milieu that I hesitate to identify entirely with what's understood by the ringing phrase "the Republic of Letters," even though the overlap between the two was once great indeed; and I cannot be alone in wondering what will remain of the latter once the former, which not long ago seemed so very solid, has melted into air.
What I do feel isolated in—if not entirely alone in—is my determination, as a novelist, essayist, and journalist, not to rage against the dying of literature's light, although it's surprising how little of this there is, but merely to examine the great technological discontinuity of our era, as we pivot from the wave to the particle, the fractal to the fungible, and the mechanical to the computable. I first began consciously responding, as a literary practitioner, to the manifold impacts of BDDM in the early 2000s—although, being the age I am, I have been feeling its effects throughout my working life—and I first started to write and speak publicly about it around a decade ago. Initially I had the impression I was being heard out, if reluctantly, but as the years have passed, my attempts to limn the shape of this epochal transformation have been met increasingly with outrage, and even abuse, in particular from my fellow writers.
As for my attempts to express the impact of the screen on the page, on the actual pages of literary novels, I now understand that these were altogether irrelevant to the requirement of the age that everything be easier, faster, and slicker in order to compel the attention of screen viewers. It strikes me that we're now suffering collectively from a "tyranny of the virtual," since we find ourselves unable to look away from the screens that mediate not just print but, increasingly, reality itself.
If necessity is the stern but respectable mother of invention, then perhaps desperation is the derelict father of subterfuge. That was certainly the case when I moved to Seattle in 1979.
Though I'd lived there twice during the previous five years, I wasn't prepared for the economic boom I found upon this latest arrival. Not only had rent increased sharply in all but the most destitute neighborhoods, landlords now routinely demanded first, last, and a hefty security deposit, which meant I was short by about fifty percent. Over the first week or so, I watched with mounting anxiety as food, gas, and lodging expenses reduced the meager half I did have to a severely deficient third. To make matters even more nerve-racking, I was relocating with my nine-year-old son, Ezra. More than my well-being was at stake.
A veteran of cold, solitary starts in strange cities, I knew our best hope wasn't the classifieds, and certainly not an agency, but the serendipity of the streets—handmade for rent signs, crowded bulletin boards in laundromats and corner grocery stores, passersby on the sidewalk; I had to exploit every opportunity that might present itself, no matter how oblique or improbable. In Eastlake, at the edge of Lake Union between downtown Seattle and the University District, I spied a shabby but vacant one-story house on the corner of a block that was obviously undergoing transition—overgrown lots and foundation remnants where other houses once stood—and that had at least one permanent feature most right-minded people would find forbidding: an elevated section of Interstate 5 just across the street, attended by the incessant roar of cars and trucks. The house needed a new roof, a couple of coats of paint, and, judging by what Ezra and I could detect during a furtive inspection, major repair work inside, including replacing damaged plaster-and-lath walls with sheetrock. All of this, from my standpoint, meant that I might have found a solution to my dilemma.
The next step was locating the owner, a roundabout process that eventually required a trip to the tax assessor's office. I called the person listed on the rolls and made an appointment. Then came the moment of truth, or, more precisely, untruth, when dire circumstance begot strategic deception. I'd never renovated so much as a closet, but that didn't stop me from declaring confidently that I possessed both the skills and the willingness to restore the entire place to a presentable—and, therefore, rentable—state in exchange for being able to live there for free, with the length of stay to be determined as work progressed. To my immense relief, the pretense was well received. Indeed, the owner also seemed relieved, if a bit surprised, that he'd have seemingly trustworthy tenants; homeless people who camped beneath the freeway, he explained, had repeatedly broken into the house and used it for all manner of depravity. Telling myself that inspired charlatanry is superior to mundane trespassing—especially this instance of charlatanry, which would yield some actual good—I accepted the keys from my new landlord.
This is the story of how the institutions of British Jewry went to war with Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party. Corbyn is another feather in the wind of populism and a fragmentation of the old consensus and politesse. He was elected to the leadership by the party membership in 2015, and no one was more surprised than he. Between 1997 and 2010, Corbyn voted against his own party 428 times. He existed as an ideal, a rebuke to the Blairite leadership, and the only wise man on a ship of fools. His schtick is that of a weary, kindly, socialist Father Christmas, dragged from his vegetable patch to create a utopia almost against his will. But in 2015 the ideal became, reluctantly, flesh. Satirists mock him as Jesus Christ, and this is apt. But only just. He courts sainthood, and if you are very cynical you might say that, like Christ, he shows Jews what they should be. He once sat on the floor of a crowded train, though he was offered a first-class seat, possibly as a private act of penance to those who had, at one time or another, had no seat on a train.
When Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party, the British media, who are used to punching socialists, crawled over his record and found much to alarm the tiny Jewish community of 260,000. Corbyn called Hezbollah "friends" and said Hamas, also his "friends," were devoted "to long-term peace and social justice." (He later said he regretted using that language.) He invited the Islamist leader Raed Salah, who has accused Jews of killing Christian children to drink their blood, to Parliament, and opposed his extradition. Corbyn is also a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and a former chair of Stop the War, at whose rallies they chant, "From the river to the sea / Palestine will be free." (There is no rhyme for what will happen to the Jewish population in this paradise.) He was an early supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and its global campaign to delegitimize Israel and, through the right of return for Palestinians, end its existence as a Jewish state. (His office now maintains that he does not support BDS. The official Labour Party position is for a two-state solution.) In the most recent general election, only 13 percent of British Jews intended to vote Labour.
Corbyn freed something. The scandals bloomed, swiftly. In 2016 Naz Shah, Labour MP for Bradford West, was suspended from the party for sharing a Facebook post that suggested Israel be relocated to the United States. She apologized publicly, was reinstated, and is now a shadow women and equalities minister. Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London and a political supporter of Corbyn, appeared on the radio to defend Shah and said, "When Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to Israel. He was supporting Zionism before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews." For this comment, Livingstone was suspended from the party.

"Nowadays, most states let just about anybody who wants a concealed-handgun permit have one; in seventeen states, you don't even have to be a resident. Nobody knows exactly how many Americans carry guns, because not all states release their numbers, and even if they did, not all permit holders carry all the time. But it's safe to assume that as many as 6 million Americans are walking around with firearms under their clothes."

Four of the top 20 richest people in the world made their money from software. Over the past two decades, no other industry has been responsible for making a select few people so much money so quickly. And it's especially amazing because so many of these people started with so little.
You don't need a lot of infrastructure to create a blockbuster software program. And most importantly, if it becomes popular, you just keep selling copies like you're printing money. The sale price of a software license is not based on the price of the component parts like a manufactured good. It's usually not even based on its complexity or the amount of R&D effort it took to produce it. It's a product with unlimited supply, whose price is set by the demand for it in the marketplace.
For example, the complexity of the Oracle database and the amount of man-hours that has gone into its creation is probably less than that of the Windows operating system, but it costs a hundred times more. Lucky for Bill Gates, there's a demand for a much higher quantity of Windows licenses. I guess that's why he's more than twice as rich as Larry Ellison.
Bytes and bits, considerable brainpower, and a lot of good fortune created empires, and it was all based on a simple formula: create some software that people want, preferably software that large businesses want in large quantities, charge the maximum amount that the market will bear, sell lots and lots of licenses, make a better version of the software a couple of years later, that fixes some of the annoying problems that plagued the earlier version, sell lots and lots of licenses again, and so on.
Intellectual Property
Other industries produce and sell goods of this type. The book publishing and motion picture industries also produce "virtual" goods for which the cost to produce another copy is relatively small. The only way that someone can write a software program, or a song, or write a book and have a hope of being the primary beneficiary of its proceeds is if there is a legal mechanism to prevent its unauthorized copying and redistribution. It's about enforcing intellectual property rights, and from the very birth of the concept, consumers have been a little reluctant to grant it the same moral weight as physical property.
Intellectual property has always existed, but its owners have had mixed success in enforcing their ownership of it. In early societies, inventors of new tools or methods were probably content to be given credit for their ideas and enjoying a boost in status for, say, inventing the wheel, or irrigation. Later people developed layers of secrecy around their knowledge, such as the expert stone masons of medieval Europe, who founded a secret society upon their desire to maximize their earning potential by limiting the number of practitioners of their craft.
Around the same time, intellectual property was also protected by laws. Church scholars who translated the Bible into local languages were savagely executed by the church/state in an attempt to keep a monopoly on religious and political power. But the average inventor didn't have much protection, and was lucky to even get credit for his or her invention. This went on for centuries. Famously, Isaac Newton invented Calculus but reportedly sat on his discovery for years for fear of someone stealing his ideas.
Eventually, governments created protections for intellectual property, via patents and copyrights. Patents started to take off in Europe in the 16th century, with the monarchy asserting control over commerce and innovation. Copyright proliferated in the 18th century, with the widespread ownership of printing presses. Overall, these laws were a boon to the advancement of knowledge and art in the world, because it gave inventors and creators an opportunity to more easily benefit monetarily from their creations, and perhaps even dedicate themselves full-time to their professions. Eventually, intellectual exercise, which had long been the domain of the economic elite, was opened to normal folks.
The typical individual, the ultimate "consumer" of these ideas, however, was never all that keen on the higher ideals. A good idea was a good idea, and people were always eager to appropriate it for their own benefit. Eli Whitney was constantly in court trying to protect his patent on the cotton gin, and by the time the courts ruled, his patent had expired. The early days of book and pamphlet were a free-for-all. Shakespeare probably didn't earn much money from the publishing of his plays and sonnets, but, having cribbed most of the stories for his plays from other authors, I doubt he worried much about it.
Even when one country enforced copyrights rigidly, other countries were always eager to capitalize on the inventions of others. Several of America's founding fathers were dead set against honoring European patents, hoping to give the fledgling state a leg up in competing with Europe's massively more developed economy. In the 20th century the U.S.S.R. and its satellite states were loath to pay royalties to Western authors and artists. And today, the marketplaces of countries all over the world are filled with unauthorized copies of software, music, movies, and books.

STOCKTON - The Thunder's new forward paid immediate dividends, and it acquired another one on Friday. But Stockton continues to struggle to score goals.
STOCKTON - The Thunder's new forward paid immediate dividends, and it acquired another one on Friday. But Stockton continues to struggle to score goals.
Maxime Boisclair scored in his first game with the Thunder, but the Utah Grizzlies came from behind with three goals in the third period to win 4-2 in front of 4,256 at Stockton Arena.
Before the game, Stockton announced it traded for the rights to veteran forward Shawn Weller from the South Carolina Stingrays in exchange for longtime Stockton defenseman Cameron Brodie and future considerations. Weller currently is on loan to the St. John's IceCaps of the American Hockey League.
The Thunder (21-16-7) has lost three in a row for the first time this season and is 2-3-1 in its past six home games. Stockton had a 2-1 lead going into the third period and the Grizzlies (16-18-5) took the lead on goals by Ian Schultz and T.J. Battani. Mitch Wahl scored an empty-netter with 56.2 seconds remaining.
Stockton had its opportunities, including a 4-minute power play in the third, in which it failed to get off a shot.
"We're in a funk," Thunder coach Matt Thomas said. "It's not the end of the world, but what needs to happen is that we need to dig deeper. It's a great challenge for us, and we have to find a way."
Boisclair was signed as a free agent on Thursday and last played with Arlan Kokshetau in Kazakhstan. His first-period goal was his first in the ECHL since Dec. 21, 2008, when he helped the Ontario Reign beat the Thunder 6-2 in Ontario.
The 6-foot and 209-pounder muscled his way inside and knocked the puck past Utah's 6-5 goalie Andrew Engelage on assists from Colton Hayes and Harrison Reed.
The Grizzlies tied the score 1-1 6:10 into the second period on a power-play goal by Schultz, and the Thunder answered to retake the lead 13 minutes later on a power-play goal by Reed, his 15th of the season.
Weller, 26, has played 374 professional games, 294 in the AHL. He had 46 points in 42 games for Bakersfield in 2009-10 and was selected to the ECHL All-Star team.
Said Thomas: "Getting a chance to acquire an elite-level forward like Shawn doesn't come around often and was too good to pass up."
Brodie, 24, played 124 games with the Thunder in three seasons (2010-13).

Juan Roman Riquelme has voiced his satisfaction with his Boca Juniors comeback in the 3-1 loss against Union de Santa Fe at the weekend.
The attacking midfielder recently returned to his boyhood club after previously leaving in controversial fashion, and he's very happy to be back at Boca.
"I was fortunate enough to play the full 90 minutes and it felt good to play again. I felt really tired for a few moments, but I've already recovered," Riquelme was quoted as saying by Ole.
"We could not record the victory we wanted, but there are still many games to go. We wanted to play well, but it didn't work out. Let's hope we put in a good performance on Thursday."
Head coach Carlos Bianchi, meanwhile, was quite pleased with Riquelme's return, but stressed that the 34-year-old cannot turn things around by himself.
"Roman did whatever he could do," he said. "Not a single player in the world can turn things around all by himself. I am satisfied with his performance.
"I did not expect him to last for the full 90 minutes. We'll have to wait and see how he reacts. We should not forget that he hasn't played for eight months."

Dear Carolyn:
My husband and I get in a fight almost every time we try to do something fun together, either alone or with our kids, who are both under 3. I do something dumb (say, forgetting some important item). Husband says something insulting about it. I get defensive and badger him. ("You were supposed to ... .") He gets angry at me for "ruining our day."
How can we break the squabbling cycle and actually enjoy each other's company?
-- When Fun Isn't Fun
One of you can realize that actual adults don't actually scold people for "ruining" their "day."
And both of you can isolate your parts of the cycle, then break them.
You can't prevent all mistakes, of course, but you can stop getting defensive. Instead of "Well, you should have (whatever)" when he criticizes you, try: "We have two kids under 3. Maybe we should be more forgiving of each other."
Because you do, and should, and there's no better way to invite warmth than to give it consistently, especially under duress. If his attacks persist, then consider a quiet talk, a couples' or parents' workshop and marriage counseling, respectively, as Plan B.
Dear Carolyn:
Many people have to drive from New Jersey to New York for Mother's Day because my sister-in-law and her husband have a baby (the only grandchild). In from New Jersey come my wife and I, and my brother-in-law's many family members. My sister-in-law always chooses a very upscale Manhattan boutique restaurant, so we have to drive and park in this congested part of the world, and make nice so they don't have to be inconvenienced. My sister-in-law does this to accommodate two sets of parents who demand priority on this day over the other parents.
We did this ritual this year and the next thing I know, my father-in-law calls to say my brother-in-law picked up the bill and I owe him half! (This is for people I have no relationship to -- his grandparents, his parents.) I was blindsided.
If I had been informed beforehand I probably would have paid half, but at this late time (and after the highly inappropriate call from my father-in-law), I feel pretty irritated.
What is actually appropriate?
-- What Is the Deal?
With this letter, it's easier to start with what's not appropriate.
Saying people "have to" travel for this gathering is not appropriate. Unless you are deposited there at gunpoint -- also not appropriate -- you are all invited to travel, and choose to.
Harrumphing about having to "make nice" so others aren't "inconvenienced" when you're the one who chose to participate is not appropriate.
Choosing an expensive site unilaterally for a pay-your-own-way gathering is not appropriate.
Hitting people with a bill after the fact is not appropriate.
Sending a third party (father-in-law) to hit someone up is not appropriate. It was your brother-in-law's job to either ask for help or eat the expense.
Showing up at a gathering expecting to be fed when there is no clear host (as with, say, a wedding or graduation party), or not offering to chip in when the check arrives, is not appropriate.
Being otherwise willing to contribute, but deciding not to, solely because you weren't asked the right way, is not appropriate. Get angry? Sure. Act on it? No.
Typing "is not appropriate" so many times about a gathering that was theoretically about celebrating mothers, but seems to have been more about self-aggrandizement and power-grabbing, is not appropriate.
Appropriate: Pay half and be rid of it. Next year, with just your nuclear family, think of something that honors your idea of Mother's Day, plan it, do it, and don't apologize for it, even if it's merely to blow it off entirely as the contrivance it has become.
Dear Carolyn:
I have been dating a great girl for three months now. We are compatible in many ways and I very much want to keep seeing her. The problem is that she has horrible breath. It is so bad that sometimes I can barely be near her. Absent any dramatic change I will have to end it.
Is there any way to delicately bring this up? The only alternative is to break up with her and provide some vague "It's not you it's me" excuse.
-- Gagging
Really? Telling the truth sounds so grim that you'd consider both denying yourself great company and giving her the impression you don't like her -- all while sending her off cluelessly into the world to flatten tall buildings with a single breath -- just to dodge one awkward moment?
Surely you've given this a second moment of thought by now and come to this same conclusion: "There's no nice way to say this, so I'll just say it." And then say it.

It certainly seems to imply an interesting aspect of the Canucks philosophy, insofar as it seems to suggest that they believe that the disparity in raw upside - or at least, their ability to suss that out from a group of hundreds of potential selections - amongst the prospects outside the top 100-120 in a given year is less important than the development path a given player takes.coco_canuck wrote:I don't have a problem with selecting 19-20 year olds, and I don't have an issue with players committed to the NCAA.
One concern I do have is necessarily drafting for need outside the first two rounds, and specifically drafting college players without giving other leagues much consideration.
Every team makes some selections based on a specific need, but there needs to be a fine line between need and best player available. Same goes for preferring college players, if there is say an OHL kid who projects much better than the best available college player, then I'd rather go with the OHL kid than reaching for someone else.
Since we don't sit at the draft table, it's difficult to say why they may have passed on someone else over the kid they picked in a given round, but Gillis has been mostly open with his draft strategy, and at the moment I'm not completely sold.
I don't know if it's true or not frankly, but I do see the reasoning in taking players whose commitment to college hockey give you an extra couple of years of development before you have to commit to them (or allow them to walk).
Between that and taking some bigger and more mature players in the early rounds hopefully the Canucks are able to strike a nice balance between players who can contribute soon and players who with enough growth will fill the cupboard in a few seasons.
Like all drafts we won't know for several years.

The Jones Senior girls� basketball team threw the first punch against Lejeune, going up 2-0 at the start of the game Friday night.
The Jones Senior girls� basketball team threw the first punch against Lejeune, going up 2-0 at the start of the game Friday night.
However, the Devilpups countered with their own arsenal with an 8-0 run, and never looked back in routing the Trojans 65-40 in both team�s Coastal Plains 1-A Conference opener.
Lejeune is now 10-0 overall while Jones Senior fell to 2-9 overall.
�We knew that we were going to have to play tough against them (Jones) because even though they are young, they are athletic,� Lejeune first-year coach Ken Popadines said. �I�m proud of what we did tonight, especially from the long layover from Christmas break. It is nice to be able to pick up right from where you left off.�
Later, the Lejeune boys were not as lucky, losing to Jones Senior 97-81.
For the Lejeune girls, guard Chatori Major led all scorers with 34 points while teammate Chryssandia Tatum added 11.
Jones Senior kept the game close at 16-9 after the first quarter as both teams were jumping in passing lanes and forcing turnovers.
The Devilpups then turned up their intensity. They used a 24-point second quarter to build a 20-point lead going into halftime. Jones Senior confused the Devilpups with a box-and-one defense against Major, but couldn�t convert anything on the offensive side.
�I think inexperience showed on our behalf tonight,� Jones Senior coach Debbie Philyaw said. �We are reloading as a group and having to play a lot of freshmen. Lejeune has a few key players that have been around and know each other well and it showed on the court tonight.�
A freshman that did the most damage tonight for the Trojans was Franlenu Brimmage, who led the team with 20 points. No other Trojan scored in double digits.
After going into halftime with a 40-20 cushion, the Devilpups proceeded to put their foot on the gas and pushed their lead to 30 with an impressive full-court press, patience on offense, and unselfishness throughout the game.
�Everyone is a year older now and has been around the game together for a long time,� Popadines added. �Our starters who were freshmen last year have grown up and when teams want to try and shut down Chatori, we have other people that can step up and play big roles in situations like that.�
Lejeune led 58-29 after three quarters and moved to a four-corner offense to help run down the clock. Jones Senior eventually would cut its deficit down to 15 but by then it was too late.
Jones Senior 97 Lejeune 81
There aren�t many nights where you see a basketball player score fourty or more points and their team still ends up with the loss.
Lejeune fans got to witness that as the Devilpups� Ryan Evans scored 42 points, doing most of his damage in a fourth-quarter comeback attempt.
However, Lejeune came up short and lost its CPC opener to Jones Senior, which was led by K.D. McCall�s 28 points and Eric Dudley�s 23 points.
�It�s bittersweet and hard not to celebrate a young man�s performance like the one he (Evans) had tonight,� Lejeune coach Joey Malott said. �I�ve told my team that we are way better than what our record shows. At times we are clicking on all cylinders, but we have to play that way for the whole 32 minutes.�
Jones Senior outscored Lejeune 25-12 in the third quarter, but other than that quarter, the game was neck and neck.
�I told my team that even though we have only won one game, its conference now and everyone is 0-0,� Evans said. �We are going to take this game, learn from it, and continue to work hard every day.�
Jones Senior had four players in double digits and three of them scored 20 points or more.
Jones Senior 9 11 9 11 � 40
Lejeune 16 24 18 7 � 65
F. Brimmage 20, Stalen 5, A. Brimmage 6, McKinron 4, Brooks 3, Gathins 2 Totals� 13 13-26 40.

Office administrator accused of manipulating payroll records
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— An office administrator at the Rockingham County jail has been indicted on charges that she manipulated payroll records of her husband who worked as a corrections officer, making it appear that he worked overtime and other shifts to increase his pay, prosecutors said.
Ann Marie Nelson, 55, of Chester was indicted on two counts of felony theft by deception charges for overbilling Rockingham County from July 2012 until her alleged thefts were detected sometime around May 15, according to prosecutors.
Her husband, Keith Nelson, a corrections officer who held the rank of corporal, has not yet been charged in the case. But more charges are expected in the case, prosecutors said.
Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid declined to say how much money they believe Ann Marie Nelson allegedly took from the county.
"This is still an open investigation," Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid said Wednesday. "We are continuing to put together what we can find and we are going to be as thorough as possible in reviewing what has been submitted."
Nelson served as a jail's office administrator, overseeing payroll records submitted to the county's finance department.
Reid said that a staff member at the Rockingham County found questionable entries in May.
That prompted officials to suspend Nelson and her husband during the investigation.
County Attorney James Reams announced the indictments on Wednesday afternoon, saying that he expects an audit and criminal probe will delve into years of payroll records.
An audit is being handled by investigators and members of the county's finance department, according to Reid. Nelson is facing a pair of Class A felonies, each punishable by up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison. She is scheduled for arraignment on Sept. 26 in Rockingham County Superior Court.
Nelson and her husband are no longer working for the county, according to Reid.

Caterpillar ( NYSE: CAT ) manufactures heavy-duty vehicles and technologies designed for constructing buildings and mining the earth. Worldwide, Caterpillar is the leading manufacturer, by revenue, of engines and turbines used in machinery, electric generators, highway and non-highway trucks, and seaborne vessels.
During recent years, CAT has relied primarily on demand for infrastructure in emerging markets for revenue growth. The company has increased in presence in several key regions such as China, which has seen unprecedented wealth growth and has a huge appetite for energy. Though dependent on the declining US housing construction market, Caterpillar has diversified its sales internationally, aided by the global boom in infrastructure development. Its largest distributor is the Canadian company Finning International (FTT) .
With nearly 95,000 employees, Caterpillar's global footprint spans six continents and boasts the highest worldwide sales of its competitors. In addition to manufacturing and selling machines and engines, Caterpillar also provides financial products to its customers. Its three main businesses generated $7.5 billion in 2010, but have been hit hard by a collapse in commodity prices.[1]
The company has 3 primary segments: Machinery, Engines, and Financial Products. In 2008, Machinery and Engines accounted for 88% of the company's profit. Financial Products accounted for 12%.
Machinery: the design, manufacture, marketing and sales of construction, mining and forestry machinery—track and wheel tractors, track and wheel loaders, pipelayers, motor graders, wheel tractor-scrapers, track and wheel excavators, backhoe loaders, log skidders, log loaders, off-highway trucks, articulated trucks, paving products, skid steer loaders and related parts. Also includes logistics services for other companies and the design, manufacture, remanufacture, maintenance and services of rail-related products.
Engines: The design, manufacture, marketing and sales of engines for Caterpillar machinery; electric power generation systems; on-highway vehicles and locomotives; marine, petroleum, construction, industrial, agricultural and other applications; and related parts. Also includes remanufacturing of Caterpillar engines and a variety of Caterpillar machine and engine components and remanufacturing services for other companies.
Financial Products: Cat Financial provides a wide range of financing alternatives to customers and dealers for Caterpillar machinery and engines, Solar gas turbines as well as other equipment and marine vessels. Cat Financial also extends loans to customers and dealers. Cat Insurance provides various forms of insurance to customers and dealers to help support the purchase and lease of our equipment. Cat Power Ventures is an investor in independent power projects using Caterpillar power generation equipment and services. [2]
Caterpillar announced revenues of $640 million for the first quarter of 2011, a 1% improvement from revenues posted in the first quarter of 2010 which totaled $631 million.[3] Profit increased by $30 million for the quarter, totaling $83 million after tax for Q1.[3] Profits for the first quarter of last year were $53 million; this marks a 57% increase in profits between Q1 FY 2011 and Q1 FY 2010.[3] Total assets remained approximately constant between the two years. In 2011, total assets equaled $29.380 billion compared to $29.450 million for the first quarter of 2010.[3] Gains in revenues were driven primarily by $24 million in earnings from the repossession of capital.[3]
Caterpillar announces revenues of $42.6 billion for the 2010 fiscal year, a 31% increase from $32.4 billion in 2009.[4] Profit similarly increased in 2010 to $2.7 billion, up from $895 million in 2009.[4] Fourth quarter revenues and profits were also up when compared to year-ago results. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $12.8 billion, an increase of 62% from fourth quarter earnings in 2009.[4] Fourth quarter profits were up by 317%, totaling $968 million, an increase from $232 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.[4] Increased demand, production, and efficiency drove these gains.[4]
Caterpillar's agricultural equipment sector will prosper if the nation has to harvest massive amounts of corn or soybeans to fuel its vehicles. It takes about 21 pounds of corn to make 1 gallon of ethanol, which would mean much more demand for Caterpillar's tractors if corn based ethanol took off.
And the biofuel trend might miss the point. New research done at UC Merced and published in the journal Science in May 2009 presents evidence that crops yield 81% more energy per unit area of land when it is burned to make electricity to power cars than when it is refined into ethanol.[5] Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions from this "bioelectricity" are 100% lower per unit area of land than cellulosic ethanol.[6] Certainly, Caterpillar would benefit from a switch to corn-based power, but not as much if that power does not require the excessive harvests that ethanol does.
Rapid growth of Emerging Markets like Mexico, China and India all could benefit Caterpillar, which has distribution networks to provide worldwide industrialization projects with equipment. More than half of Caterpillar's revenue is international, and that number is increasing.
From an economic perspective, machinery has a higher marginal utility in places where it is underutilized. If a town has no tractors, 1 more tractor is far more significant than it would be for a town that already has 80 tractors. Thus, Caterpillar equipment will drive more value in developing markets. Look out for the stability of these markets, as their continued development bodes well for Caterpillar's business. Of course, political change, terrorism, and corruption are also risks worth following because they are associated with the governments of most developing countries.
The US Subprime lending crisis led to a decline in home values which undermined Caterpillar's consumer facing equipment sales. Real Estate Developers simply do not need to buy new equipment to build new neighborhoods- they need to worry about their tanking investments. To monitor the performance of the US real estate market follow the IShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index Fund (IYR). It is down over 30% since July 2008 and is showing no immediate sign of recovery.
Caterpillar (CAT) plays in the large-cap, international Construction, Agriculture and Machinery Industry. Other companies include Deere & Company (DE), Kubota (KUB), Fastenal Company (FAST), Joy Global (JOYG), and CNH Global N.V. (CNH).
Caterpillar is the 800 pound guerilla in its space, with its annual net income exceeding that of its next 4 major competitors. But despite its huge size, Caterpillar has underperformed its peers for the last 5 years, still riding the momentum of decades of performance.
Its competitors have regional strength, because geography in the heavy machinery business matters (shipping cranes is never cheap). Komatsu, for instance, competes with Caterpillar strongly in Japan. Additionally, many international competitors have lower labor costs because Caterpillar (CAT)'s US employees demand higher wages for their work.
Caterpillar competes in several different markets, where it tends to dominate. The following charts show you how Caterpillar does relative to AGCO (AG), FIAT S.p.A. (F-MI), Kubota (KUB), Deere & Company (DE),CNH Global N.V. (CNH), and Terex (TEX) which are its primary public competitors.
