1 Generative Constraints 16 th November Center for Creative Collaboration Royal Holloway University of London The idea that a constraint might be positive, productive; that it might present opportunities, actions, decisions and events that might hitherto have been impossible, is something that most artists are familiar with. I take this observation from the start as something that effects the day- to- day life of studio practice, from the paint that simply won t get that desired effect, the porcelain that reveals all those cracks rather than producing that ideal flawless complexion, and the funding of work that simply won t materialize whatever the reason. These constraints are encountered when we rub up against the empirical limitations of the contexts within which we work. These constraints traditionally express not only a limit point but also a failure, where those things that we want, can t, don t, or won t happen and there is very little we can do about it. Arts practices live with these empirical constraints and as we shall see they often make use of this to graft a specific political dimension to their practice. But to make constraint become important, they are forced to link this empirical experience to a larger conceptual program. Here, often the failures of particular materials are correlated to a universal diagnosis of the human condition. Practices that have been involved in this politics of constraint are interested in limits, in borders, in ends and in finitude. We might say that the largest constraint of all and one that we are all familiar with is the principle of a critical art, inherited from a Duchampian paradigm. This is the one that tells us that anything can be art, but we must nevertheless strive for a different art. This search for difference is central to a postmodern practice that would value hybridity and remix as methods by which to reform and expand the notion of art. But lets not rush this, because we must be careful to make sure that we understand the distinction between the legacy of the Duchampian paradigm that makes reform and expansion an endemic character of art, and what we can see 1
2 to be the very different Duchampian challenge that asks us to define new artistic paradigms altogether. The reformist occupation of contemporary practices values constraint in a particular way. Here, constraint is understood as something that is not only a part of life but a necessary part of life. In a culture of remixing and postproduction, there is an implicit knowing of constraint towards particular paradigms, styles, forms and historical language materials, where work operates upon an already agreed set of historical circumstances to conjure new forms. An abstract and totalising ground is assumed for instance we are all constrained to language - and this concept acts as the ground of our constraint. If we follow this logic then we must agree that without constraints, without limits, work would be meaningless. Constraint now becomes something that must be exploited in the artwork as a means to determine art s meaningfulness. Naturalizations The practices that engage in a culture of post- production commemorate the failure of the challenge that we identify in a Duchampian call for a different art, which must be seen to be set against the art of difference that has sprung from this. This art of difference is where difference is understood as relative to existing forms of art. As such in contemporary culture we seem to be held within the specific method of reforming and expanding the definition of an already existing paradigm. Art, therefore, is constrained to its name, and this name has meant the dominance of certain methods and processes in art that as I will show, hinge upon the privileging of generative constraints and the designation of unachievable and abstract freedoms. Artworks, particularly from the genre of institutional critique, have spent time telling us that constraint is productive, but moreover it is necessary and natural; reminding us that there is no escape from the nomenclature art, and that the defining condition of art is to differentiate itself from itself: This is the constraint of art. This totalizing all- tolerant democratic space for art is witnessed as our final constraint, the constraint to a concept of freedom. Understood in these terms, if constraint is generative then doubt becomes the primary access of a live and critical culture; an aesthetic lifestyle of doubt produces this dialectic of freedom and constraint. 2
3 I would like to propose a challenge to art and its dominant method. This means that I must challenge the method that has privileged constraint as a mode of success. Ironically, it is this theory of productive limits that has characterized the limits of art s critique for generations. In this way perhaps we can meet that Duchampian challenge for a genuine non- standard and non- relational art. Idealizations Being trapped in and by art has become the aesthetic legacy of an emancipatory modernism. Some artworks have assumed that knowing constraint and expressing the limits, definitions and rules of art can somehow enable us to transcend them and to reconstruct decision on making better and more productive distinctions between what is true and what it false. This is not the naturalization of constraint but a more thorough idealization of its power to enable a new politics and culture that can be set anew beyond its borders. Other works have told us that knowing these limits reinforces the fact that we are stuck in this field of constraint and the best we can do is to talk about it, express our limits and admit our failure to head outside of the confines of specific modes of thought, and that we simply do not have the imagination to think beyond the given. 1 Art that speaks to the conditions of our constraint foregrounds the tragic. Here, we are told that the world is constraint; that there is nothing we can do but keep on going, to persevere with an unsatisfactory world. This narrative is as present in Samuel Beckett as it is in Structuralist inspired conceptual art. Artworks like Bruce Nauman s Slow Angle Walk (Beckett Walk), from 1968, stress the condition of crisis that we experience when faced with the oppressive infinitude of language. The open field of possibility that language potentializes is in fact a space that binds us to language itself as a form of ultimate constraint. Maurice Blanchot s description of the process of writing also reinforces this tragic nature of production, where our constraint to the present 1 Philistinism, yba punk nihilism, the limits of expression in Dada, the slacker attitude in west coast art, the return to the private, language games and systems horror 3
4 alienates us from deriving meaning from our representations that would emancipate us from this process. This incapacity serves to trap us in a constant reiteration of and as the text, where our desires are never realized and yet we persevere with them all the same. Writing for Blanchot is not up to the task, but it is all that we have: A distinctly tragic scenario of the present. If we are to recognize our constraints then surely we must understand what dominance looks like and what forms of oppression we can challenge. But, here the problem is that constraint is not conditioned upon any particular recognition of a thing. Constraint is everywhere, because constraint is understood as the very conditions of communication that we use everyday. However, in either case, can knowing the condition of our constraint provide any generative moment for practice? I m more than a little suspicious of how we might value constraint, and how it is idealized in arts practice. I m concerned about how constraint is made equivalent to a politics of failure and reflexes on tragedy as a redemptive moment in practice. This is how art might recognize and produce constraint as a reality and then use this as a yardstick for its own sense of victimization or agency. This is not to suggest that we do not experience constraints, or that they do not exist, but, moreover, I would like to think about how constraint might be conceptualized without opposing it to freedom and without associating it with some form of negatively defined redemptive space for art. This is the misunderstanding that knowing we are constrained or unfree enables some strange equivalence to freedom. I want to say a little more about why I think that an art that finds meaning in constraint is a problem; and then I will talk a little more about how constraint might not necessarily be opposed to freedom. If this is correct then we need to ask how art operates as a field of constraints, which might be very different from the field of constraints that I described earlier. These were the constraints that are naturalized to contemporary practices that determine the insistence of the status quo in a reformist paradigm of difference. Indeed, this is where we must consider if it is possible or correct to link constraint with the generative in any causal sense. This is a question of art s politics. 4
5 Lack of freedom So far I have discussed two approaches to constraint: that of the tragic, and that of what we might call the post- tragic. The former is a type of critical idealism, and the latter naturalizes constraint. In a practice that naturalizes constraint we are reminded of the difficulty of talking about, representing or mediating constraint in any way at all because constraint as a concept has been naturalized to the status of the image. Any world beyond this one cannot be thought, and we are destined to a fundamentalism of the image. Freedom is engaged at when the infinite and open is totalizing to the essence of all human experience. For art, we see this expressed in a carving out of specific contexts, identity, history and sites that are shifted and re- rooted in semantic games. This defines the choice and invention that is associated with freedom which conditions politics to a limited set of already agreed upon structures and therefore struggles to think beyond its self comprehension of an ontology of language. Specifically in the realm of a critical idealism, we can see that despite the claim that we are bound to language and contexts from which we cannot move one inch away, we see artworks take on a transcendental role that assumes that they can see this relation. Here, artworks capture the transcendental position of knowing constraint and revealing our constraint to us. Here, the artwork is transformed into a pedagogical exercise which is purchased through a negative relation to freedom. Crucially, a critical approach that idealizes constraint as a form of negative freedom holds no guarantees for freedom, since freedom is retained only as an abstract concept. Remember that the artwork is only interested in expressing a knowledge of constraint, whether this be manifest as particular or generic power, or both co- mingled. Both the postmodern and the modern work keep the conditions of their constraint in focus as the cornerstone of the work s political claim Both approaches to constraint demand that the artwork materialize a form of dominant power to determine what this constraint is. This might 5
6 be the irony of targeting itself or its own language as already existent forms of power that are there to be destabilized and unsettled, or this frustration might be directed at other forms of power. As such, we identify a mode of critique that values knowledge of constraint, but this knowledge cannot transcend the circumstances of it. Constraint as an ideal concept, or as something that is normatively understood to be generative is in fact the opposite. It locks us down to particular stories and paradigms of dominance that we invent and yet claim are natural. It is here where we encounter more problems: these approaches to critique cannot tell us that if things were to change (for the better or for the worse) we would know this in any real sense. And, since all power is the target of this critique, we are told that any system in which we would find ourselves would find itself under the same scrutiny. 2 This might seem all very good for some kind of critical labour, as it certainly keeps us busy, but in the end, it stands as our political inertia and a final distraction. A theory that knows this to be the case, and which nevertheless continues to identify failure as some redemptive space, can only be tragic. The central tragedy is this: This theory knows that it is responsible for defining the now of the status quo and that it cannot move beyond that in real terms. Its parameters are set in the mirror. Another way of understanding the politics of constraint, as it is written here, is to acknowledge that constraint is identified with context. As such, the aim of this theory is to prepare a space that is context free, and call it freedom. This space of freedom has to be beyond the political, contextual, historical and relational conditions of experience to hold onto the hope for a future that is unconstrained. But the problem here is another contradiction: the space that is defined by those that revel in failure and the tragic is named as constraining because it is open, infinite and deregulated; anything might happen. The irony here is that these artworks seek to free culture from this space of freedom. In fact, this means that this tragic critique that seeks to identify constraints is actually ordering language, for it has recognized the anarchic field of language to be in- equivalent to the type of freedom that it has in mind. In this sense, freedom is not freedom in a radical sense, but establishes itself as other forms of constraint. 2 Fish comments on this in the essay Change in Doing What Comes Naturally, Change, Rhetoric and the Practice of Theory in Literary and Legal Studies, 6
7 In this way, a practice that assumes that it can know constraint, that constraint is generative and that this generative moment guarantees some form of change, is incorrect. If anything can be art, then the constraint that art defines is the arbitrary nature of its own existence: its all- inclusive nature. But we know that art has habits, methods, plans, systems, rules, traditions, histories, genres, paradigms, etc., despite its promise of the open : In fact it is organized, systematized and ordered in both general and particular ways. The fantasy that art is free has produced the largest and most resistant myth of all, the myth that has blackmailed us, for who could disagree with freedom? Who would opt for constraint? This is the deeper fantasy that we can even make the choice between the two. We are not free to choose freedom. How might we disagree with the formulation of generative constraint that has been the hallmark of contemporary arts practices? What would it mean to do this without settling back into the same tragic scenario that returns us to the circle of critique where constraint is understood as generative or the condition that determines a status quo? This is a question of how we live with constraint. ART This problem of freedom, as well as the association of critique with doubt, failure and uncertainty, has acted as the catalyst for my practice for some time. Rather than understand constraint as something that might be a problem that we have to live with, and that we must turn into a redemptive condition, I thought more about the condition of language and thought as one in which forces were always in operation. What would it mean to think past these moral dimensions of the image that we have seen? How are we to take this de- ontologised and open space of the contingent image seriously without invoking these same hierarchies that seem to lead us to critical, cultural and political roadblocks? Without a narrative of freedom, constraint, tragedy and finitude, would we end up in the space of an epistemological and moral anarchy? 7
8 In most of my work I have examined the condition of language and force; that is the force of language and the language of force. Works have been produced in different media, including sculpture, drawing, video and installation, through which I have attempted to think of how an artwork might operate when constraint is a condition of life, which I read as contingency. This means that no actions are context free, and that associating this as a problem only mystifies constraint to the condition of a kind of stable power, which it is not. My work has often established scenarios that go to work with the understanding of a horizontal world, that is, a world where power is complex, and where claims to specific hierarchies are malleable and dependent upon specific situations. Power is not natural and needs to be acted out and asserted. More significantly, we have no way of confirming what power looks like: It might be a soft whisper, the commonsense voice of rational argument, or a brick in the face. I m going to show one work today called Sanity Assassin. This work was shot in LA in 2009, and then presented as an installation at Spike Island Bristol in It has been shown subsequently at various venues, but not in this configuration. It focuses on the desire to locate thought as empirical material as political material. Here, a concept of nature is central, and the work examines two ideals of nature; one that attempts to surpass and free itself from the image towards a deeper reality, and one that sees freedom as a space to be won through living within the image as a form of nature. 8
9 The work deals with the idealistic connections that we make between image and meaning and how these ideals serve to conjure specific forms of violence. This is a violence of the image, a violence that produces identities and a violence that produces territories in space. LA was a prime site for this investigation. Here, I worked with the legacy of an émigré politics from Adorno and Horkheimer. This was the world in which they performed a searing critique of LA and all that it represented. The image culture, the culture industry, was evil; a diabolical space that constrained people to the level of identity free objects. I also looked at the work of modern architects who built new types of housing that located people more deeply within concepts of both community and nature. Living near nature and understanding the flux of culture- nature was another space where freedom was purposed. The video shows characters desperately grappling with these conflicting comprehensions of life and reality. For them, all freedom serves to produce coterminous forms of violence that reinforce a horrific and totalizing logic. 9

M I D - E A S T R E A L I T I E S - http://www.MiddleEast.Org
Algeria's absurd forced march in a bloody deadlock continues without respite.
Houses set ablaze, women transformed into human torches before being shot or slaughtered with hoes and axes, the night of terror in the mountain hamlet near Algiers was blamed on "terrorists" (armed Islamic fundamentalists) by survivors questioned yesterday by a journalist from the French news agency AFP.
In a statement received by AFP in Bonn, the Islamic Salvation Army (AIS, armed branch of the outlawed Islamic Salvation Front or FIS) meanwhile condemned the massacre of civilians in the Algiers region, and blamed "the terrorist military regime for the total responsibility of the crimes committed by those it has armed under the pretext of self- defense or other callings, and who have shed the blood of the innocent".
This new massacre has been perpetrated against the backdrop of a huge offensive launched by the security forces in the Algiers region, amid great discretion and accompanied by the search and mopping up of presumed bases of armed islamists, with the participation of the army, the police, the gendarmerie and self-defense militias.
According to partial estimates, 200 armed islamists have been killed in the last 15 days, but the authorities continue to maintain a black- out on the operations under way.
These developments underscore the scenario of "a secret war in a context of political deadlock" described by professor Addi Lahouari, a native of the Algerian town of Oran who teaches political science at Lyon-II, in France, and who was the guest of the Centre d'Etudes arabes pour le développement (CIAD) last week at the Université du Quebec, Montréal (UQAM).
At the heart of the crisis, he says, there is the army, kingpin of the system since independence in 1962 "because the Algerian State was born in violence", the army which removed the GPRA, the first civilian government, that very same year, the army which overthrew Ben Bella in 1965, the army which governed alone with Boumediene until 1978 and with Benjedid until 1992.
Calling for a "dispassionate debate" through analysis of the facts "which have led Algeria into this horrible impasse", Lahouari says the army has been maneuvering since the social explosion of 1988 "to democratize while at the same time preserving its own political pre-eminence above all institutions".
"By allowing pluralistic parliamentary elections in December 1991, the army calculated that the Islamist FIS would peak at 30-35% of the vote, and that thanks to a system of proportional representation, the old one-party formation, the FLN (National Liberation Front), would continue in power, in a coalition with the FIS", he says.
"The army miscalculated. The FIS did so well in the first round of voting that it needed only 30 to 40 seats in the second round in order to take power alone: so the army intervened to stop the process", says Lahouari, who calls this step "the biggest mistake Algeria ever made in all its History".
"The truth is that the army would have annuled the elections even if it had been the secular RCD (Rassemblement pour la culture et la dimocratie) which had bagged 60% of the seats: the army just does not trust the civilian ilites", he says.
Addi Lahouari has expounded on his ideas for Le Monde diplomatique, the Journal of Democracy, and in a book titled L'Algérie et la Démocratie (La Découverte, Paris, 1995).
He believes the islamists have no more than 20-30% support among the people. He thinks the FIS is effective in the opposition, but that "beyond its radical discourse, there is nothing in its program, it has no clear project for exercising power".
He adds that "the islamists are not even a real opposition since all they want is to change the personnel and not the system". "They want to replace the FLN with the FIS because they believe, naively, that to ensure good government, it's enough to place pious men in power, for such men would fear God".
But the Algerian political scientist also believes that "the cultural impact of the islamists on society is enormous", that the islamists represent "a profound historical current going back to Ben Badis and Messali Hadj, and to the national liberation struggle". He even believes that the islamists "are more popular now than when they were frustrated on the threshold of power in 1992".
Because the fundamental issue, he says, is that the Algerian people, "destructured, laminated and alienated by 130 years of a particularly brutal brand of colonialism", have burst onto the stage of History with the war of independence.
"With Ferhat Abbas, the Algerian people now are claiming their full and complete status as citizens, and they will not allow the State to be the private property of a handful of individuals", says Addi Lahouari.

I've been thinking of writing this for awhile now. Mainly as a way to get my emotions out there in the open instead of buried inside and eating away at my heart. The title that kept popping up was "How," or "How Do I" after a country song originally performed by Trisha Yearwood.
How do I do this?
How do I watch my beautiful best friend . . . the best-est friend I've ever had in my whole life . . . grow old. How do I navigate these waters? How do I find my way to accepting the fact that I won't ever have the dog that he was, even just a year ago? Worst of all, How am I going to say goodbye someday and go on without him?
I'm talking about Jake, my almost 13-year-old "Glab" (Golden/Lab mix). He is the love of my life, my reason for being, the constant in my unsure and hectic existence. He is my solid rock, the one thing in the world that never fails to make me smile even on the worst of days.
I thought about doing a blog all about him years ago. He is such an incredible joy, and my whole life revolves with him always at the forefront. He has changed my life in more ways than I can list, and a blog seemed a way to get it all down.
The idea felt a little self-indulgent, and I didn't think I'd be able to reach the depth that others have in their writing. Then life became so busy that I just never got around to it.
Now, as he is showing the signs of age that seem to have appeared overnight, I knew this is something I must do. For me, for Jake, and for others who have traveled or are traveling these difficult waters to help each other by offering advice, guidance, even just words of encouragement. I wanted my blog to be so good, something people everywhere might smile and nod their heads as they read, even while tears stream from their eyes. I wanted to do something along the lines of Marley & Me, in which John Grogan's writing provided a catharsis for his pain and then turned into something so big. Even if my blog about Jake didn't get that big, I still wanted it to be shared through the power of social media, maybe finding it's own big, if even in a small way.
I recently attended a seminar at a well-known emergency veterinary hospital. They offer free monthly seminars on a wide range of topics; this night's topic was titled "Caring for your Aging Pet." Recalling the matters discussed so many thoughts swim through my head. I cried so hard driving home I nearly had to pull off the road.
The presenters discussed keeping a journal, primarily to note changes in your pet's habits and behaviors for sharing during vet visits, but also to help with the "anticipated grief," which is almost if not more painful than the grief of losing a beloved pet.
So, here I am, starting my journal and feeling a little less self-indulgent about it. While it feels very personal, it's honest, and I am going to do it — for myself this time. If others read it, that will be fine, but it's no longer the goal. Because I will read it; maybe not every day, and maybe not until years from now, but it will be read.
How? Because I love you, Jake.

On 08/11/2014 Meriwether County Sheriff's Office Investigator's with the assistance of the Taylor County Sheriff's Office and Agents with the GBI executed a search warrant at 8491 Cedar Creek, Riverdale, Clayton County, Georgia in reference to a multi-county burglary investigation. Recovered from the location was jewelry, televisions, a compound bow, a lawn mower and check books. While our guys were executing the search warrant in Riverdale it appears that the perpetrators were doing another burglary in Talbot County, Georgia. The results of our search warrant not only resulted in the recovery of some stolen property but helped us positively identify our additional suspect in these investigations. We had arrest warrants already issued for Jason Roger Times of 8491 Cedar Creek Riverdale, Georgia. However, we were able to conclusively identify our second suspect in this matter as Christopher Hill of Clayton County, Georgia. Times turned himself into the Clayton County Jail on 08/11/2014 about 1700 hours and we were able to pick him up from there. Hill is still on the run and we have warrants out for his arrest." Sheriff Chuck Smith said.
Our agency experienced a residential burglary in the 8500 block of Cove Road around May of this year. We had several reliable witnesses that observed a silver/gray in color Chevrolet Malibu occupied by two black males in close proximity to the burglary location. This was around the same time span that the burglary occurred. We began concentrating on the premise that these suspects were from outside our jurisdiction. This was partially based on intelligence that our investigators developed from some of our surrounding jurisdictions. Several of our neighboring counties had been experiencing similar burglaries but they had limited leads to work with. During the first part of August we had another burglary reported on Cove Road. In this burglary we were very fortunate that the homeowner had a surveillance system set up with the suspects and their vehicle being captured on video. Although the tag was not clearly visible on the vehicle we did have a good descriptive of the vehicle and the suspects. This also matched our earlier descriptive from the previous burglary in the cove area. Our investigators began flooding our neighboring jurisdictions with the most recent suspect data. We also made this wide spread to encompass the northwest and southwest portion of the state. We had the tape enhanced as much as possible and through this effort we were able to identify four of the numbers on the vehicle tag. We contacted GBI intelligence and they ran the vehicle make and model with the numbers that we believed we had determined. The results indicated a possible match for three vehicles in the state. At that time we contacted the Fayette County Sheriff's Office seeking assistance with a Clayton County contact person since one of the vehicles in question came back to Riverdale, Ga. this being the closest address to our jurisdiction. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office assisted us with contact information and also ran the tag through their tag reader recorded data base. The tag reader made a recent hit confirmation in Fayette County along with a photograph of the vehicle. Everything revealed a match along with the identity of the driver. The vehicle owner was identified as the Times subject. Once we obtained booking photos and previous arrest information on Times we knew we had identified one of our perpetrators. The tag reader also gave us additional vehicle information on the suspects due to them being in a different vehicle on a separate occasion. The vehicle information from a separate tag reader hit being consistent with a burglary in Coweta County, Georgia. The combination of information obtained from some of our witnesses, video from one of our victims, the sharing of information between our neighboring agencies, the tag reader data base and just good hard work by members of my staff has led too and will clear multiple burglaries in numerous counties by arrest." Sheriff Smith advised.
This burglary crime spree as we now know encompassed the counties of Coweta, Taylor, Talbot, Marion, Schley and Meriwether County, Georgia. These subjects are also suspects in several other neighboring jurisdictions. At the present time we have Times and Hill linked to multiple burglaries in our county and they are linked to at least one burglary in each of the above listed counties. We are still tracking down leads related to these offenses and will most likely be able to link them to several more offenses in our jurisdiction. Jason Roger Times is currently being held in the Meriwether County Sheriff's Office Jail without bond. We have outstanding warrants for Christopher Hill and we have reason to believe that he is still in the metro Atlanta area." Smith stated.
I appreciate the work and effort put forth by my personnel to identify these perpetrators, recover property and get one of them behind bars. We still have much work to be completed in investigation in our attempt to recover additional properties and to capture Hill. Cpl. Nash, Deputy Holland, and Taylor County Investigator's have worked and are continuing to work diligently on these cases. Our 911 personnel also assisted us in the enhancement and identification of those valuable tag numbers on the suspect vehicle. I definitely appreciate the witnesses coming forward and providing us with valuable real time information as well as the homeowner who was able to provide a video tape of our perpetrators. All of the other agencies that have been involved and assisted with these investigations in a collaborative effort we appreciate them as well.
I ask for the communities continued assistance and support in providing us with information regarding these matters. If anyone has any additional information regarding this matter or other illegal activities please give us a call at (706) 672-4489, callers can remain anonymous." Sheriff Smith stated.
• UPDATE – On August 16, 2014 Christopher Allen Hill, B/M, DOB. 03/16/1989 was arrested in Clayton County, Georgia on our warrant for his arrest. Hill has since been picked up by our agency as of 08/16/2014 about 1652 hours and is being held without bond in the Meriwether County Sheriff's Office Jail on burglary charges.
NOTE – Members of the media who wish to have an A&B report should contact the Meriwether County Sheriff's Office Jail and upon proper form completion under Georgia Law said item will be provided.

Thomas & Betts Shareholders to vote on acquisition by ABB on May 2, 2012
Thomas & Betts files definitive proxy statement relating to proposed acquisition
Companies provide update on pending regulatory approvals
Zurich, Switzerland and Memphis, Tennessee, March 30, 2012 – ABB Ltd (NYSE: ABB), the leading power and automation technology group, and Thomas & Betts Corporation (NYSE: TNB), a North American leader in low voltage products, today announced that Thomas & Betts has scheduled a special meeting of its shareholders to be held on May 2, 2012. At the meeting, Thomas & Betts shareholders will vote on the approval of the merger agreement pursuant to which ABB will acquire Thomas & Betts for $72 per share in cash. Thomas & Betts has filed a definitive proxy statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the special meeting.
The companies also provided an update on their progress in obtaining the regulatory approvals for the acquisition.
In the United States, ABB has voluntarily withdrawn and re-filed its notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. As a result, the waiting period which was previously expected to expire on April 2, 2012, is now expected to expire on April 30, 2012. ABB decided to take this action in order to give the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) additional time to complete its review of the transaction. Both ABB and Thomas & Betts remain confident that the DOJ will conclude that the transaction raises no antitrust concerns.
ABB has filed its notification of the transaction to the European Commission and the waiting period is expected to expire on May 11, 2012.
In addition, on March 28, 2012 the Brazilian antitrust regulator cleared ABB's acquisition of Thomas & Betts. The companies have also applied for regulatory approval in Canada and Turkey.
While a definitive closing date cannot yet be determined, ABB and Thomas & Betts continue to expect that the transaction will close in mid-2012.
ABB forward-looking statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" relating to the acquisition of Thomas & Betts by ABB. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations but are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of ABB, which could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Among other risks and uncertainties, there can be no guarantee that the acquisition will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time frame. Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the acquisition include: required regulatory approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, if at all; the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, including synergies, may not be realized; and the integration of Thomas & Betts' operations with those of ABB may be materially delayed or more costly or difficult than expected. Forward-looking statements in the press release should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect ABB's business, particularly those identified in the cautionary factors discussion in ABB's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended Dec. 31, 2011. ABB undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Thomas & Betts forward-looking statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: 1) the possibility that Thomas & Betts and ABB may be unable to obtain shareholder or regulatory approvals required for the merger; 2) the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied; 3) Thomas & Betts' and ABB's ability to consummate the proposed merger, including the financing thereof; 4) the businesses may suffer as a result of uncertainties surrounding the merger; 5) the ability of Thomas & Betts to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with providers or other business partners; and 6) the industry may be subject to future regulatory or legislative actions and other risks that are described in the SEC reports filed or furnished by Thomas & Betts and ABB. In addition, any statements regarding Thomas & Betts' projected 2012 sales and earnings; the future demand for Thomas & Betts' products and services, including the present spending trends by our customers; and Thomas & Betts' future performance as delineated in our forward-looking guidance, and particularly our expectations with respect to sales and foreign exchange impact, constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on Thomas & Betts' current expectations and beliefs and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the availability and cost of raw materials; changes in customer demand; loss of key personnel; changes in customer credit; changes in laws or governmental policies; interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; changes in tax regulations and laws; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; and changes in business, political or economic conditions due to the threat of future terrorist activity or acts of war in the U.S. or other parts of the world. A further description of these risks, uncertainties, and other matters can be found in the Risk Factors detailed in Thomas & Betts' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on February 17, 2012, as well as other filings Thomas & Betts makes with the SEC.

The three Rajasthan Royals players arrested for fixing in the domestic T20 league confessed to their crime, police claimed on Friday, adding that they suspected others from a second franchise and were investigating at least one match from last year.
Indian cricket's latest sordid tryst with controversy looked set to take another turn with intelligence sources saying that senior players, players' wives and administrators could also be under the scanner.
Test discard S Sreesanth and lesser-known players Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila admitted wrongdoing during their interrogation, police officials said.
The grilling happened after a night spent in police custody in south Delhi, with Sreesanth lodged in an office suite until recently occupied by Inspector Badrish Dutt, the man who initiated the investigation into fixing but who died under mysterious circumstances last week.
Police officials said that Sreesanth told them he had committed a 'mistake' and that he was 'sorry'. "He disclosed that he was trapped into the scam by his close friend Jiju Janardhanan," sources said, adding that Sreesanth, Chavan and Amit Singh, a cricketer-turned-bookie who is also in custody, broke down and wept when they were being grilled.
Transcripts of telephone conversations accessed by Hindustan Times showed that Janardhanan, negotiating with bookie Chandresh Patel, is emphatic that Sreesanth would not take the risk of getting involved unless he got 50% of the amount before the match started.
Sreesanth's lawyer Deepak Prakash, however, maintained his client was innocent, saying that Sreesanth had never talked to a bookie and never received any money.
"He is completely innocent and there was no phone call with any bookie or any person involved in this case," he said.
Police are also looking at a match between Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals, played last year at Delhi's Feroze Shah Kotla stadium, in which the Royals failed to win despite requiring only a dozen runs from as many deliveries with eight wickets in hand.
The interrogation of arrested bookies has revealed that apart from the disgraced trio, they had also attempted to lure five foreign players and three Indian cricketers, playing for Rajasthan Royals and another team whose name was withheld by police, into the spot-fixing racket.
It has also emerged that bookmakers had tried to persuade three other Rajasthan Royals players Brad Hodge, Kevon Cooper and Siddharth Trivedi, to attend a party thrown by them at Jaipur on April 8, but the players had not shown up. Sources said investigators could also be looking at their role.
A Rajasthan Royals spokesman said: "These are private parties. It is the player's prerogative to attend or not," and declined to comment when asked if police were looking into the conduct of three more Royals players.

text: Sorry if this is a repeat but I've searched high and low and can't find any specific answer to my problem. Here's what happened: I reformatted an iPod nano 4g to windows because I needed the use of data transfer between my mb pro and a windows pc. Worked fine and I used it as a hard disk to transfer files between the two platforms. But now I cannot get it back to mac ipod mode. When I plug it in to the mp pro, it appears on the desktop as a hard disk. Also iTunes opens, but the device is NOT recognized and I can't do anything with it through iTunes. I have already tried iPod restore, and the buttons for restore etc. all remain faded, i.e. iPod restore does not recognize the device either. I have tried plugging the ipod into the mb pro while in disk mode and also tried running the diagnostic tests on the ipod. Any ideas how I can bright this thing back into line and use it as a mac ipod? I don't care about losing data etc. on the iPod. I just want a complete wipe and restore, but I can't find any way to reach it. Cheers and many thanks..

John F. Apsey.
Codicil on same date. I appoint my wife Frederica Apsey and James A. Clift my executress and executor. John F. Apsey.
I certify the foregoing to be a correct copy of the will and codicil of John F. Apsey
(Listed in the margin next to this will the following)
Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are either hand-written copies or in later years typed copies of a, "last will and testament," written or typed by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation and also no paragraphs. The originals were kept by the executor.
We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be. However, in some of the very long wills, we have tried to insert paragraphs to make it easier for the researcher to read the document.

For Patients
Limited or no Insurance for Naturopathic Care
Unfortunately there is currently limited coverage of naturopathic medicine by most insurance carriers in Arizona. However, more insurance companies are starting to add naturopathic insurance coverage and some other carriers consider naturopathic doctors as "out-of-network providers". Cigna, Great Western, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and United Health Care have offered full or partial reimbursement to some policy holders in the past. At this time, Medicare and Medicaid do not cover naturopathic physicians. If you have a flexible savings plan or a health savings plan, some or all of the costs may be covered.
Lab work
Most PPO insurance plans will cover most lab work and diagnostic imaging that is ordered.
For these reasons, payment is due at the time of service. For individuals with insurance coverage, it is your responsibility to check for any coverage requirements of each visit. We cannot guarantee insurance coverage, nor do we bill any insurance carrier directly. However, we are happy to prepare a summary of the treatment billing codes and charges, on the standard insurance paperwork, for your submission to your insurance carrier.

Billy Corgan hates classic album concerts
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 March 2016
Smashing Pumpkins rocker Billy Corgan hates it when musical artists perform classic album concerts - describing the trend as pure "consumerism"
Smashing Pumpkins star Billy Corgan has blasted the trend for artists to play classic albums in full - describing the trend as the "dregs of the music business".
The band's third album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' - which contained tracks such as 'Tonight, Tonight' and '1979' - celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2015 but Corgan never considered performing the LP in full for fans as he thinks it is creatively redundant.
He told Rolling Stone: "The idea of getting up and playing an album that was never meant to be played live in that sequence smacks of consumerism. That stuff is the dregs of the music business. I have a hard time believing that everybody out there doing it really wants to do it."
Many artists have performed that type of concert, including Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Meat Loaf, but Corgan believes fans are "bored" with the concept.
He added: "I think it's played itself through. I think the fans have already grown bored with it, best I can tell. You don't see as much of it as you saw a couple years ago."
Although he didn't want to commemorate the anniversary of 'Mellon Collie...', Corgan insists he is very "proud" to have recorded an album that people still love after two decades.
The 48-year-old musician - who recently welcomed his baby son Augustus into the world, his child with his partner Chloe Mendel - said: "I'm proud to have made such an album that's important ... But I'm not gonna go out there and hack around just to reclaim some light that I don't feel has gone out. The light is still in my eyes. I'm still more than capable of producing new work. I wrote a new song just the other this morning."
Away from music, Corgan also works as Senior Producer of Creative and Talent Development for TNA IMPACT Wrestling.

PugHearts needs your help. We are over-run with pugs that need us, and we do not have the funds or the foster homes to help them all.
For those of you who have followed us throughout the last 4 years, you know that we always need help but we don't make a public appeal unless it is very serious. Folks, it is very serious right now.
We are full to the brim and several thousand dollars in debt on our veterinarian bill. We are not able to accept all pugs that are being asked of us. We have had to close intake unless it is an extreme emergency. We hate this, as we know there are people out there who will take their dogs to a kill shelter now rather than surrender it to us. We hate it because it means we cannot help every pug. But our resources are stretched too thin to be able to take every dog we are asked to take.
Of course this just happens to coincide with the busiest time of year for any rescue. Summertime means people go on vacation and if they were considering getting rid of their dog, now seems the perfect time. Also summer is when a lot of people move. Lots of times their dogs don't make the move with them. And of course there are so many people suffering from financial difficulties who cannot afford to take care of their pets anymore. It all adds up to far too many dogs being taken to shelters or given away.
We have also had quite a few pugs in lately that have needed a lot of medical care. We have an alarming number of heartworm positive dogs coming in right now. It's gut-wrenching to see dogs that are so ill and will require costly and difficult treatment for something that is preventable by one pill a month. If only someone had given these dogs preventative heartworm treatment. But they didn't, so now we have to put them through heartworm treatment to get them healthy so they have a chance at a new life.
There has also been emergent care needed for several dogs. Maksym came to us having suffered terrible heat stroke by being left out in the punishing Texas sun. We tried so very hard to save him, but ultimately lost him to distemper. (Again, all of his issues were avoidable – if only someone had cared enough about him.) Bob was a wonderful little guy who came to us with a few issues, including a hernia which we had repaired. But sadly he lost his fight when his heart simply stopped. Vee came to us over-bred and dumped, needing emergency surgery to repair a severe vaginal prolapse. Thankfully she is recovering and doing well. Danny came to us as a cruelty case. He has a severe spinal issue that makes it impossible for him to use his back legs. As he is a senior, we know his chances of adoption are not great. It's so sad as he's a lovely boy. Then there's Peanut. This adorable young guy came to us from a local kill shelter with obvious mange. Once he got to our vet, they realized he also had a fractured hip. That was surgically repaired and he is expected to make a full recovery. If not for PugHearts he would be dead right now because somebody didn't want to pay for his treatment and didn't care enough about him to find him a new home rather than take him to a kill shelter.
This is why PugHearts exists. But this is also why we desperately need your help. PugHearts has rescued nearly 800 dogs in the past 4 years. We have no way of knowing how many of those would not be alive today if it weren't for us, but you can be sure it is more than a couple of hundred.
People like you have made it possible for us to save lives. We need you to dig deep and help us continue our fight. Please donate today to help us be able to accept any dog that needs us.
Please make a DONATION - Please!

Then again, super heroes are my favorite genre Anyway, seemed like a good preview as to what'll come. Then the flying end was unexpected - and disliked by me somewhat. I hate the flying twist on the characters - completely bad. Why should the naysaying bro get powers too? Anyway, opinions?
