Indianapolis…Emmis Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: EMMS) today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ending August 31, 2003.
“This quarter is the continuation of a very good year at Emmis, as our divisions continue to outperform their industries,” Jeff Smulyan, Chairman and CEO of Emmis, said. “In radio, we outperformed our markets by 4.5%, while in television we outperformed our markets by 3.8%. The audience share gains we realized this quarter continue to position Emmis for future growth.”
In total, pro forma net revenue for the quarter was $158.2 million, compared to $148.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 7%.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the quarter was $0.14, compared to $(0.13) for the same quarter of the prior year. These results exceed the company’s previous guidance, as well as Wall Street First Call consensus estimates for revenues and profitability.
For the second fiscal quarter, reported radio net revenues increased 16%, while pro forma radio net revenues increased 10%. Reported television net revenues increased 1% and pro forma television net revenues increased 3% in a non-political year, replacing approximately $2.0 million in political advertising revenues from the prior year. Publishing net revenues were up 3%.
For the second fiscal quarter, operating income was $37.2 million for the quarter, compared to $35.8 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Emmis’ station operating income was $60.1 million, compared to $57.3 million for the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 5%.
Emmis has included supplemental pro forma net revenues and station operating expenses, excluding non-cash compensation, on its website, www.emmis.com. This information, which includes all consummated station and magazine acquisitions and dispositions, can be found under the “Investors” tab.
During the quarter Emmis completed the transactions which results in its ownership of 50.1% of a six-station radio cluster in Austin, Texas for approximately $106 million. The radio stations involved are KLBJ-AM (590 News-Talk), KLBJ-FM (93.7 Rock), KGSR-FM (107.1 Adult Alternative), KROX-FM (101.5 Alternative), KEYI-FM (103.5 Oldies) and KXMG-FM (93.3 Hip Hop). Emmis already owns Texas Monthly in the market.
Net revenues attributable to the Austin radio stations and included in reported results were $4.4 million. Station operating expenses attributable to the Austin radio stations and included in reported results were $2.6 million.
Also during the second quarter, Emmis sold Portland, Oregon-based Mira Mobile Television, a remote production facilities for sports, corporate, and entertainment clients throughout the western United States, to an ownership group for $4 million. Emmis acquired Mira Mobile in October 2000 in connection with the purchase of certain television assets from Lee Enterprises, Inc.
International radio net revenues for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003, were $4.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. International radio net revenues for the three and six months ended August 31, 2002, were $3.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. International radio station operating expenses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2003, were $3.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively. International radio station operating expenses for the three and six months ended August 31, 2002, were $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
Emmis entered into various interest rate swap agreements in fiscal 2002, at a time when interest rates were substantially higher than they are today. Emmis has included a summary of these swap agreements under the “Investors” tab on its website. On the same tab of the website, the company has provided a detailed calculation of its leverage ratios as of Aug. 31, 2003.
Pro forma calculations assume the following events all had occurred on March 1, 2002: (a) the acquisition of (i) a controlling interest of 50.1% in a partnership that owns six radio stations in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area in July 2003 and (ii) WBPG-TV in March 2003 and (b) the disposition of (i) KALC-FM and KXPK-FM in May 2002 and (ii) Mira Mobile, a mobile television production company, in June 2003.

Emmis will host a conference call regarding this information on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2003 at 9 a.m. Eastern at 1.773.756.4621, with a replay available until Tuesday, Oct. 7 by calling 1.402.998.0628 (passcode 5895) or listen on-line by logging on to www.emmis.com.
Emmis generally evaluates the performance of its operating entities based on station operating income. Management believes that station operating income is useful to investors because it provides a meaningful comparison of operating performance between companies in the industry and serves as an indicator of the market value of a group of stations or publishing entities. Station operating income is generally recognized by the broadcast and publishing industries as a measure of performance and is used by analysts who report on the performance of broadcasting and publishing groups. Station operating income does not take into account Emmis’ debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, station operating income is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends, reinvestment in Emmis’ business or other discretionary uses.
Station operating income is not a measure of liquidity or of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for our results of operations presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Moreover, station operating income is not a standardized measure and may be calculated in a number of ways. Emmis defines station operating income as revenues net of agency commissions and station operating expenses, excluding non-cash compensation.

The characters in this story have a clear voice and are believable. The plot took many twists and turns, and I found myself staying up later than I should to see what happened. Even though romance is definitely a main theme, the action scenes are engaging and well written, and the underlying message is one of forgiveness,hope, and redemption. I found myself thinking about the characters throughout the day, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves to get lost in a good book!

Gavin and Nora are the "insta-love" type. Nora is a sweet girl who hasn't had the best chances in life; she hasn't been able to go to college, but lives with her kind foster mother. When she meets Gavin, she connects to him perfectly and that connection remains unbroken through the novel. Gavin is charismatic and handsome, he is the typical white knight in modern times. Although the plot is nice enough, their solid relationship was the focal point of the novel for me.
The plot itself is best explained by the Goodreads summary above. I admit that I was sometimes a little confused or had to reread some passages. The fantasy plot line did shine through and I enjoyed the different take on elves. The Dark Fey add a dark, harsh aspect to the book that breaks up the glow of young romance. They are the true antagonists and easy to hate. The author does a terrific job of creating the environment and developing the characters. This plot was definitely romance driven though. The romance was one of the more memorable ones for me in the YA genre. This book is recommended to young adult/teen readers.

Everyone should pick up a copy of this novel, and read it, then poke Elizabeth to write and get the next one released sooner :D
This is a truly lyrical novel. The words flow over the page and the pacing is wonderful. It also keeps me guessing, feeding me a little information at a time, enough to keep me hungry for more. It provoked many emotions from me, making me laugh, tear up, feel joy, sorrow, and everything else in between.
This is another of the love at first sight, and touch but it has a paranormal element, so that makes it a little better for me. They both have "gifts" and these gifts are amplified concerning one another. I like though that it feels like a pure relationship, there is just something different (good) about the way their interactions are written, be it dialogue or actions.
The love that Nora and Gavin have and develop is something that I long for and that I hope that my own daughter, like Elizabeth's, finds one day. It makes me ache for the purity and the strength of their love even through trials.
The characters are beautifully conveyed. Nora is a great protagonist, she narrates beautifully and she is easy to relate to. Her strength, love and ability to understand and forgive all make her lovely. Gavin is a heart-throb and going on my top 10 literary crushes. He is not a bad boy- he communicates and is emotionally real. He helps Nora to learn that she is valuable- for who she is not what she does and who she is to others. This is a wonderful message and I wish that all women could learn this lesson and have someone so awesome to help teach it to them. They built each other up and help to highlight the best in the other, and encouraged the bettering of themselves too.,
As far as secondary characters, they were amazing as well. Rena is a wonderful addition; funny and the type of best friend that I could only hope to have. Edna is a pleasant surprise, being a strong presence in Nora's life, whereas many YA novels have conveniently absent parents. The way that she cares for and took in Nora is commendable, and I love seeing their relationship played out and the sacrifices they will make for each other. I don't quite understand the purpose of Holly and Kate unless just a way to meet Gavin, but it seems there would be another way. With as close as it made them out to be, they are absent; however the friendship between Nora and Rena that develops is sweet, and completely makes up for it.
Elizabeth writes so that her fantasy world just seems so real to me, and the characters feel so alive. I feel like I am taking part in this awesome story.
I love her message that even though there may be a bit of dark in us all, it is all about how we chose to respond, and how we can love and live and overcome, letting the light shine through. I also appreciate that fighting this darkness is a constant struggle, as it is in real life, but that the struggle itself does not make you bad, the fight can help to make you stronger.
The story has it all- an amazing love story, friendship, the moral that love prevails, good vs evil, magic, and mystery.
I have been thinking about this book ever since I put it down, and I recommend this to anyone and everyone!!

Some stories are so good, you want to shout about it's awesomeness from the rooftops for all to hear. Some stories are so amazing, your heart grows in size, just to make room for your new found love of it. That is what happened to me with The Light of Asteria.
I was a bit confused right in the beginning. It starts off in a different world and time, and I didn't fully understand what was happening. But soon it was back in our time, and I met Nora. Nora is one of the best main characters I have read about. She has such a beautiful heart. She has already been through so much at her young age, but refuses to let herself dwell on the past. I could go on and on about how great Nora is. She definitely makes me want to be a better person.
This doesn't happen very often, but I love every character in this story. Gavin's 'family' are all wonderful to read about, especially Rena. I want Rena as a best friend. I absolutely loved Nora's foster mom, Edna. Even when parents are in YA, they usually don't have a very interesting role. I loved reading about Edna's story, and how her past connected to Nora's future. But the one character I loved above all is Gavin.
Going by the premise, I was afraid Gavin would be the cliche mysterious bad boy. He wasn't like that at all. He was a gentlemen. He was kind and truly concerned for Nora's well being. He treated Edna with so much respect. And, my God, he is one the most sexiest creatures I have ever read about. Gavin is all out swoon worthy. Let's just say that my thoughts of Gavin are not the purest of intent. The relationship between Nora and Gavin is a truly beautiful one. They didn't feel thrown together by the author. It made sense for them to be together. Their love was real and you cannot doubt it.
This world of Kailmeyra that Isaacs has created is truly breathtaking. It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever read about. It's how the world was meant to be. I would pick up and move there in a second if it was possible. Isaac's describes it in a way that you feel like you are standing right in Nora's shoes. One of my favorite aspects of Kailmeyra is everything has to do with your intent. This really made me think. Do we ever stop to think about our intentions? I know I have been thinking about mine more since reading The Light of Asteria.
This is an excellent story in every way. The writing, the scenes, the plot, the romance, the characters... they all outdid my expectations. I wanted to reread it as soon as I finished. I am not telling you that you need to read The Light of Asteria. I am telling you that you HAVE to read The Light of Asteria. I am so thankful to my friend, Jenn who told me I HAVE to read it. She was right. It's a book that I will be reading over and over again. I never want to let this world go. And you can count on me reading the sequel the second I can get my hands on it.

I want the next one now please!! You left me with so much to wonder about at the end of this one. I want to know more about the characters and what is to come. The suspense that you left at the end of this book has left me with much to think about. This will be the type of book that once you have read the first one the entire series must be completed within a weekend. I'm not sure if I can wait until Fall 2011!!Was this review helpful?

Outstanding! Sensual and utterly original, The Light of Asteria has something for every reader. The characters are distinct in voice and personality, and the heroine, Nora, is a believable character that seems to rise above every situation she is in. I found myself thinking about the characters throughout my day. Truly, this is the next great teen novel.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Let me just start by saying THANK YOU to Jennifer S. for recommending this book! It was not even what I was expecting. The cover and synopsis kind of threw me off and I wasn't that interested in reading it, but I am so glad I did.
I also want to say a big THANK YOU to the author, Ms.Isaacs for writing such a wonderful story. I feel like a better person for reading this.
The Light of Asteria was the MOST emotional book I have ever read, hands down. I was choked-up or crying for at least 2/3 of the book. Happy tears, sad tears, so-much-love-tears, so-much-despair-tears, I was a wreck!
This is a story of love, hope, understanding, and learning to better yourself. It is set in an amazing world full of fantastical creatures and wonderful characters. The characters are so real I felt like I knew them, and how they would react to the situations they found themselves in.
I cannot express how much I think everyone else will enjoy this. You need to go out and read it right now, you'll thank me when you do.
I'm very pleased to say that there is going to be a sequel and I CANNOT wait for that to come out.

I just saw the movie Letters to Juliet, which was wonderful - but not really my point, part of Sophie's letter to Claire goes something like this..."What and If are two of the most unassuming worlds in the English language, however when you put them together, What If? they transform themselves into one of the most powerful questions in the English language." What If? Don't we all ask ourselves this this question, sometimes daily, with these tiny seemingly unassuming words, that transcend when put together into a question that, sometimes is bigger than we are.
The Light of Asteria: Kailmeyra's Last Hope by Elizabeth Isaacs' could have become one of my "what if's" - and I might not have never known it...honestly, I am humbled by the fact that I had never heard of this book, I like to think I put in my time researching new authors, I guess not. Elizabeth emailed me about her book, thankfully.
The Light of Asteria, is not as out there as a lot of books, with a new author and a smaller publishing house, it's tough to break in and space on shelves is at a premium, only being filled with those more popular books. However, I have to say, I will do everything in my power to get this one better coverage...not because I get anything for it...but because The Light of Asteria, is beautiful yet real, elegant yet powerful and wise yet graceful...it holds secrets that ebb and flow into you like a tide, it holds a peacefulness that is matched only by that of the perfect sunset, after a perfect day.
I now, am honored to say that I have not only had the pleasure to read The Light of Asteria, but I have also had the immense pleasure to have been changed by it. I shall take a little slice of Nora herself with me, daily.
I am sure you have read before on this blog where I mention feeling as though the story was revealing itself, as maybe a movie might or a dream. This one, not so much, I felt deeper, I felt as though I was Nora, I felt her thoughts, her love and her passion...I felt I, understood her and clung to that feeling like one might to a blanket. I am in aww of her. Her strength and courage, as well as her power, and wisdom which is beyond her years. I found strength in the messages that Nora speaks, Love in her daily struggle to overcome what she sees as her faults, and Devotion in the way that she creates home and peace no matter where she is.
She's a character I will not soon, if ever forget, and The Light of Asteria, though I had to wait for AGES to figure out why it holds this name, is a book I can NOT wait to read again, and I struggle to know how I will wait until the next book is published.
I am sure you have heard the saying, "Still waters run deep," and sometimes those still waters are alarmingly deceptive, when your sure that even though you've heard and understand this old adage, you happen upon an unsuspecting "water" and for whatever reason are convinced that you can almost see this bottom in this "still water."
That's kind of how I felt before reading Elizabeth Isaacs' The Light of Asteria: Kailmeyra's Last Hope, this book if you look at it, is unassuming, it almost blends in, though the purple is powerful, I am not at all sure the cover strikes me enough to pick it up (though once I had read it, it makes so much sense)...until I read the synopsis....
If Nora Johnson hadn't been on campus that day she would have never known her true destiny. Helping he

20% with the opportunity for up to 30% if you meet certain health requirements

20% discount means you get groceries at an affordable price.
There's a thing that you can get tested and see if you are healthy in whole foods standard and you will get more of a discount
20% discount is pretty good!
Great to be able to get a higher discount based on health.
20% is great but it's still an expensive store to shop at.
20% off total purchase at any WFM in the nation!
Employee discount is okay. If you’re ‘heathly’ you get a higher discount.
20% is pretty awesome. I here that most grocery stores don't offer that. Also, when I was there, they gave you the opportunity to get deeper discounts through some healthy eating programs.

A pitch-perfect psychological thriller, filled with razor-sharp dialogue.
1995, Patricia Highsmith, the queen of the thriller, now ageing and ailing, hides away in her study in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by her collection of books and antique weaponry. A polished young man turns up, sent by her New York publisher to persuade her to write one final instalment of her best-selling series featuring the master manipulator, Tom Ripley.
But as day breaks over the mountains, it becomes clear that the charming stranger is set on a far more sinister mission.
"A gripping psychological thriller. Creeps up on you and then has you on the edge of your seat" Sunday Telegraph

The man appears to have set his car on fire and stabbed a number of people this afternoon before being shot by police. Police say the exact circumstances have not yet been determined but Counter-terrorism police are investigating.
UPDATE: Police believe a deadly stabbing spree in Melbourne by a Somali-born Australian man was an act of terrorism, possibly designed to explode a vehicle filled with gas cylinders in the city centre during rush hour. Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The man was named by Melbourne’s Herald Sun as Mohamed Khalif, 31, whose 21-year-old brother was accused of plotting a mass murder on New Year’s Eve at Federation Square last year, a city centre hub and popular tourist spot.
In an attack described by the state premier as an “act of evil”, the man sped a utility vehicle down Bourke Street, one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, and then stopped and apparently set it alight before randomly stabbing pedestrians. One person was killed and two, aged 26 and 58, were injured.

Evil walked the earth when angels fell. Evil stalks us now in disembodied spirits; immortal wraiths once clothed in flesh when angel and women bred; spirits released from their fleshly prisons when their bodies were destroyed for drinking the blood of men. Evil also lives inside of the common man; set free when pride kills reason and eats integrity whole. There is evil that entraps us and evil that tugs from within. But neither have control until we choose to relent. Evil is a choice of action, of thoughts entertained too long, of arrogance pushing aside the last vestiges of compassion. Evil resides within the problem of choice.
What is evil? Could it be as simple as pernicious selfishness? Could it be the drive for immediate gratification without regard for others? Man’s life is limited; one hundred years or less. But, the souls of angel and watcher are eternal. Consider how much evil can be wrought through the millennia of immediate gratification on an eternal scale. By contrasting and comparing ancient texts such as Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, the Bible, and various others containing stories of the creation of angels, demons, and man, a full and panoramic history of evil is produced. In this history the startling revelation of the descent of man and angels, and the evolution of evil on earth is clearly revealed.

Earnings tax refund arises when extra tax is deposited by a taxpayer, by means of TDS (tax deducted at supply) or advance tax, than his/her precise tax legal responsibility. “This occurs when combination of advance tax, self-assessment tax and TDS is greater than what a taxpayer is definitely required to pay to the federal government,” says Naveen Wadhwa, DGM at Taxmann.

It's 'Raees' versus 'Kaabil' this weekendMonday, February 20, 2017
New Delhi, Jan. 27 -- The extended Republic Day weekend sees yet another big Bollywood clash at the movies. Shah Rukh Khan's action crime thriller Raees, directed by Rahul Dholakia and co-starring Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is a mish-mash of things we've seen before, says The Indian Express. The film gets stuck between the stools of restraint and full blown drama: the In and As SRK is as familiar as he has ever been, despite the trimmings added to induce freshness. Dholakia knows his Gujarat and there are some flashes of that insider knowledge here too, but you can see how fear of being censored has blunted the edges of this film which could have really lifted off the screen. Read more The narrative in the first half is purposeful, says Firstpost, single-minded in its desire to entertain us yet be realistic to the extent that it is possible within the confines of conventional Bollywood storytelling, and unapologetic about its goals. The songs are catchy and well-woven into the narrative. The stunts are deliciously amusing in their improbability and heart-stoppingly thrilling. And like every traditional Indian hero, Khan too emerges miraculously more or less unscathed from every battering. It is the second half where Raees loses its way, its story boasting of limited depth, and camouflaging this failing with a swagger. Read more Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam in a still from 'Kaabil' Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam's Kaabil, directed by Sanjay Gupta, is a predictable revenge and retribution saga that offers nothing new other than the visually impaired protagonists, says The Hindu. Cliches abound right down to playing blind in a way that Bollywood has for long institutionalized, the world is neatly stacked between the very good and the extremely bad. There is no scope for any in-betweenness of being. Read more Scroll.in is slightly more impressed, mentioning that the vendetta thriller works because of its childish simplicity and the leading man Roshan's exertions. The lean writing and meticulous plotting are convincing because the bar for expectation is kept low. Possibly under his controlling producer's influence, Gupta dispenses with the flourishes and proves that he has the ability to land the arrow on target. Roshan too rises up to the challenge, and channels the fundamental sweetness and innocence of his screen persona to make himself a no-brainer hero. Read more In the south, Tamil romantic thriller Adhey Kangal, directed by Rohin Venkatesan and starring Kalaiyarasan, Janani Iyer and Sshivada, rarely transcends the "interesting on paper" stage, says The Hindu. There's a great story, but the screenplay isn't tight-and the detours into duets and Bala Saravanan's comedy, with Mickey Mouse music, don't help. The dialogue is too direct, with little flavour. And for a thriller, there's very little mood or atmosphere. Read more Sify.com is more impressed, calling it a delicious thriller with a meaty, realistic plot, nicely fleshed out characters and a smart running time. The director is very clear in his execution, though the story takes place in small towns, the crime in question is quite topical. Introducing humour in a serious crime thriller always works, plus the second half moves swiftly and is more engaging than the first. Read more Telugu romantic comedy Luckunnodu, starring Vishnu Manchu and Hansika Motwani and directed by Raaja Kiran, is bland to the core, says telugucinema.com. Though starting off on a promising note, the interest soon wears off and it's a completely dull affair by interval. Both the music and technical values aren't up to the mark. Kannada films Eradu Kanasu and Allama haven't inspired any reviews yet.

Just how murky things are getting within the governing Jubilee Party was evidenced last week when Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen delivered a stinging rebuke of the government.
Mr Murkomen was at pains to explain that he at times has to make the choice between being the voice of government in the Senate and speaking for the people who elected him.
In this case, he was speaking as Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet.
What forced Mr Murkomen to make that choice was his anger over disarmament of police reservists in his county. The senator argued that the move exposed his people to grave threats in a region notorious for banditry, cattle rustling and deadly ethnic conflicts.
He hit out strongly at Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and his Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho, as well as Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, whom he accused of selectively disarming National Police Reserve (NPR) officers from one community.
The garrulous politician was not content to address the matter as a serious security issue affecting his constituents. As he is wont to at every opportunity, he milked the issue, injecting presidential succession duels to demonstrate his backing for the faction grouped around Deputy President William Ruto.
He argued that the disarmament was designed to punish the community for its loyalty to the DP.
The spiel may well have caught Mr Ruto’s attention, but it was disingenuous and self-serving.
The senator cleverly ignored the very simple fact that it was not only in Elgeyo-Marakwet County that police reservists were being disarmed. The exercise covered all the neighbouring counties such as Baringo, West Pokot, Turkana, Samburu and Laikipia.
Another important point is that, while police reservists are meant to play a critical role in protecting communities at risk of attack from bandits and cattle rustlers, they had, in many of those places, become part of the problem.
They are trained and armed by the government as an auxiliary security force, but owe loyalty to their specific community and have, instead, become part of the ethnic militia used to terrorise neighbouring groups.
Mr Murkomen may be right in complaining that the disarmament leaves his people exposed. Indeed, it would be a grave dereliction of duty on the part of the national security machinery to disarm reservists before adequate security was provided by the formal police structure.
It would be an imperative for police presence to be beefed up in the affected areas to cover any gaps. It would also be absolutely necessary that tough action is taken to neutralise the varied brigands by taking the war to their lairs and hideouts so that they do not have the freedom to roam and attack with impunity.
This is the demand any responsible leader should be making instead of seeking political capital out of a grave issue afflicting his constituents.
The politicians who contrive to insert his name into every issue do the DP no favours at all. It does not help his image or his 2022 presidential election prospects when his name is used to fly cover for disreputable leaders caught on the wrong side of the law.
Now, Mr Murkomen is no ordinary MP who might make a career of exciting disaffection against the government. He’s the voice of government in the Legislature alongside his National Assembly colleague Aden Duale. The position of Majority Leader is equal to the Leader of Government Business in the former unicameral Parliament, a role that was the preserve of the Vice-President (nowadays Deputy President).
As an elected member in his own right, a Majority Leader does owe a duty to his constituents. Where conflicted, however, he could consult internally within the government and party organs.
If his concerns are not adequately addressed, then the honourable thing would be to relinquish the Majority Leader role so that he can, in good conscience, speak out for his people both inside and outside Parliament.
As it is, what we are seeing from Mr Murkomen’s now frequent outbursts are the hallmark of rebellion. This is rebellion not from one disaffected individual, but a powerful Ruto faction in Jubilee that is unhappy with the path pursued by President Kenyatta.
Jubilee cannot govern effectively when it has such a powerful opposition within; hence the rudderless, dysfunctional government seemingly sabotaging its own efforts.
This is not a healthy situation. Maybe, it would be best for Mr Ruto and his cohorts to resign and go officially into opposition or for President Kenyatta to throw up his hands in surrender and leave the burden of leadership to those more able.

CHICAGO — For a change, the Mets actually might be getting a player back.
Amid the team’s flurry of injuries, Angel Pagan could return to the lineup tonight, after spending the last month on the disabled list with a strained oblique. He was scheduled to play a rehab game last night for Triple-A Buffalo, and manager Terry Collins said he likely would receive a progress report on Pagan after the game.
“I want to make sure he looks good,” Collins said. “It looks like he is swinging good — there is no hesitancy in his swing at all.”
The Mets have not officially decided on a roster move, but Collins strongly hinted Fernando Martinez could be optioned back to Buffalo. Jason Pridie has played center field in Pagan’s absence.
“I think [Martinez] is one of our top prospects in the organization,” Collins said. “To have him sitting on the end of the bench I don’t think benefits him or us. [But] it makes us a better club knowing we have that left-handed power sitting on the bench and they know it on the other side of the field, also.”
The Mets’ starting outfield of Pagan, Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran has played only one game together this season.
Collins isn’t thrilled with Ike Davis’ lack of activity. Davis, who has a bone bruise and left ankle sprain, has been limited in his workouts in Port St. Lucie. Yesterday, for a second straight day, Davis wasn’t feeling well enough to work out on the field. Davis has been taking batting practice and has taken a limited number of ground balls. Collins said Davis still isn’t moving laterally.
David Wright took a “step forward” according to Collins with some core exercises designed to strengthen his back. Collins indicated Wright might be closer to rejoining the team than Davis.
Josh Thole started a second straight game behind the plate after a two-game break and had an RBI single for the second straight game. Ronny Paulino entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Thole in the seventh and finished 0-for-2.


Council to take advantage of wet weather to grade unsealed urban fringe roads
On the back of the much welcomed rainfall, Council is taking advantage of the favourable conditions to undertake formation grading of a selection of the unsealed urban fringe roads in the coming week.
Grading these roads after rainfall helps reduce the need for construction water, limits the dust impacts generated by the works for adjacent residents and helps prolong the condition of the road.
Councillor Geoff McMullen, Portfolio Chair for Towns and Surrounds said Council teams have been proactive in delivering these works by taking advantage of the welcomed rainfall and hopes the rain will continue to allow works to carry on.
"Residents and motorists can expect to see increased activity on a number of the unsealed roads around Roma in the coming week," Cr McMullen said.
To ensure the safety of the public and the workers, Council asks that you follow the temporary signage in place and thanks you for your cooperation and patience while these works are completed.
For more information, please contact Council on 1300 007 662.

KANSAS CITY — Ten brands participated in the first-ever Food Entrepreneur Expo, an interactive tasting event hosted by Food Business News on Aug. 26. Featured among the products sampled by dozens of attendees were cauliflower crisps, sprouted buckwheat clusters, crispy salmon skins and more.
“What stood out to me was the amazing diversity of ingredients showcased in this mix of products,” said L. Joshua Sosland, president of Sosland Publishing Company and editor-in-chief of Food Business News. “From aronia berry and buckwheat to lupini beans and kelp it’s really quite a mix. The single-minded focus of the entrepreneurs seeking to develop and perfect an appealing, highly differentiated product really shines through and helps me understand why excitement around food entrepreneurship continues unabated at such a high level.”
The coronavirus pandemic has canceled dozens of industry events, limiting opportunities for up-and-coming brands to drive trial of new products. The editors of Food Business News launched the Food Entrepreneur Expo to offer an interactive experience for retail buyers, marketers, product developers, ingredient suppliers and founders to remain engaged with leading industry trends from the safety of home.
Registrants received a curated box of shelf-stable food and beverage products and a scorecard to rate each product on taste, innovation and brand positioning. During a live webinar, the audience was guided through a tasting and scoring of the products while viewing brief videos submitted by each participating brand. The event was supported by presenting sponsor ADM and award sponsors Blommer Chocolate Co. and Prova.
The webinar may be viewed on demand here.
Winning the Editors’ Choice award, selected by the editors of Food Business News, was 12 Tides Seaweed Co., a maker of puffed seaweed snacks in savory flavors including sea salt, black pepper and everything seasoning. The company sources sustainably harvested North American kelp, which is nutrient dense and supports ocean restoration.
The Best in Show distinction, based on audience votes, resulted in a tie between 12 Tides and Mavericks, a better-for-you children’s snacking brand developed by a team of industry veterans. At the intersection of healthy and kid-approved, Mavericks offers a range of cookies with 40% less sugar than the category leader, and crackers with 8 grams of whole grains.

More than 40 percent of Americans say they are financially worse off now than they were a year ago, reversing a two-year trend in which Americans believed their situations had improved, a new Gallup poll finds.
Yet the same poll found that a majority of Americans believe they'll be better off financially one year from now.
The results come from Gallup's annual "Mood of the Nation" poll, which was released on Wednesday.
Forty-two percent of Americans said they're worse off financially than they were last year, compared to 35 percent who feel they're better off. Twenty-two percent of respondents said their financial situation has stayed the same.
Those who believe they're worse off rose from 39 percent one year ago.
But 55 percent of Americans believe they'll be better off next year, an outlook consistent with past polls, Gallup said.
"Despite a sustained, if sluggish, economic recovery that has lasted nearly five years, most Americans report being no better off financially than they were a year ago," Gallup concluded. "As previous years show, Americans are typically more positive about their future compared with their assessments of the past, a testament to the enduring sense of optimism many Americans share about their financial future."
The poll, which sampled 1,018 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points, was conducted from Jan. 5 through 8.

Are you suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome and are looking for an ideal remedy? Polycystic ovarian disease or PCOD is a common female health condition. It is a complex disorder and involves several factors which include insulin resistance, obesity, irregular menstrual bleeding, insufficient ovum production, and abnormal menstrual cycles. PCOD commonly occurs during the reproductive age of a woman and accounts for being a major cause of infertility.
According to Ayurvedic principles, PCOD occurs primarily due to the imbalance state of your doshas. The dosha vaishanmya is linked to the symptoms of PCOD, and the relationship between the doshas and lakshans is permanent.
PCOD is associated with stri beeja and rajah formation, along with medhodhantu to some extent. These should be attended to while the condition is being treated. The Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD aims at providing ideal care by correction of the ama dosha. By this, you achieve koshta shuddi, which in turn regularizes your tridoshas. The way or approach towards Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD includes the following:
- Treatment of agnimandya at both dhatwagni and jataragni levels.
- The alleviation of sroto avarodha is an essential part of PCOD treatment using Ayurveda. You should undertake purificatory therapies which are based on the grade of your doshic vitialation, and the exact area of affliction. These should be followed by rasayana drugs, which are free radical scavenging agents.
- The regularization of the apana Vata is essential as well. You must firmly avoid vihara and kaphkara ahara.
- Yoga and meditation are very important for the Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD. You should perform yoga asanas regularly. Some of the ideal postures for PCOD management include sarvangasana, matyasana, and shavasana.
- It is also very important for you to work out regularly, undertake different physical exercises. This will make your overall life much healthier.
- You must follow a healthy, balanced diet regularly, which should consist of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Ayurvedic herbs for the treatment of PCOD
- The varuna crataeva nurvala is an effective herb which helps in the clearance of channels, which reduces your cyst’s size.
- You can try hareetaki because of its amazing laxative effects, which reduce the morbidity of your body.
- Bilva or aegle marmelos heps in reducing the size of your growth, via its digestive effect.
- Strotasshuddhi is required and herbs likes Punarnava, kaphhar medicines are advised.
- Phytooestrogen sources and female tonic Shatavari is very much advised.
- Agnimantha, similar to lions. Lake er dhareyjata
- Guduchi is another effective remedy for PCOD and has a rejuvenating effect.

The South Central Public Health District is working to make sure everyone in their district has the latest information on the coronavirus, no matter what language they speak.
The district says a big chunk of the people they serve don't speak English, so they're working to provide COVID-19 information in as many different languages as possible.
"Across our district, we have a sizeable Spanish-speaking population, and plenty of those people only speak Spanish, they don't speak any amount of English," said Brianna Bodily, the district's Public Information Officer. 'We have most basic information printed in at least 7 languages, and just about everything we release is at least dual lingual."
The district is partnering with community leaders to provide as much information as they can, to as many people as they can.
"We do have several graphics that have been created and then distributed to those community leaders, specifically refugee community resources, and they have been sending them out from there," Bodily said.
The district says while they don't have the resources to translate everything, they'll do their best to fill the needs of the community.
"I want to reach every single person in our community. That is a high priority for our district," Bodily said. "If there's somebody who has somehow been missed, who has a need that has not been getting filled I urge hem to reach out to me."
About a month ago, the district started two COVID-19 informational hotlines. One of the hotlines is in English, and the other is in Spanish:
English informational hotline: (208) 737-1138
Línea directa de información de COVID-19 en Español: (208) 737-5965
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare also has a 24/7 hotline for anyone feeling overwhelmed, isolated or distressed because of the coronavirus. That hotline number is 888-330-3010.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
One recent analysis by the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics found that people aged 65-79 receive more than 27 prescriptions for new drugs per year.
Let me say that again: Twenty-seven prescriptions per year. Not only is this a high number, it’s also a concern. Consider the possible drug interactions and side effects. One report found that the number of pain-relieving narcotic prescriptions for seniors rose more than 20% over a five-year period.
I witnessed this problem firsthand during 20 years of practicing oncology. I remember one patient, “Alice,” a 93-year-old who was being seen by too many physicians. When she came to my office, she brought a plastic shopping bag filled with the 15 different medications that were prescribed to her by her nine physicians. Alice told me that she spent a lot of her day just figuring out which medicines to take, and usually guessed. It took me most of the appointment to determine what she was on and for what conditions. I took her off 10 medications.
How did this happen? Alice had not seen some of her doctors, but continued to get refills. Since no one was directly responsible for her care, no one stopped any of the medicines or checked to see if Alice was having side effects. In short, nobody was paying attention because it wasn't anyone's job to pay attention.
There are about to be a lot of Alices. More than 10,000 people a day are becoming eligible for Medicare; this is a generation that is highly active and sees 65 as the new 55. We cannot blame this solely on the pharmaceutical companies that sold the drugs, the physicians who prescribed them, or the insurers who funded them. It's everyone's fault.
But there is only one solution. Every senior should have someone who is watching over his or her intake of prescription drugs. Seniors need a care manager – someone at the center of their care who knows everything that is being prescribed, what is working, and, most importantly, knows when it’s time to discontinue what doesn’t work. That someone is a primary care physician.
One study found that nearly a third of Medicare patients who were being prescribed painkillers received their prescriptions from multiple physicians. We do not want our seniors having pain but we need one physician responsible for the patient so this physician is ensuring that new medicines are not prescribed to treat the side effects of the side effects.
The primary care physician also ensures that prescriptions don’t create new medical problems that require more medications.

Not wanting to miss out on federal bailout money a second time, the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce was in Springfield Thursday demanding African-American businesses see some of the federal stimulus dollars.Via CapFax morning shorts!
“This is our opportunity and we have to step forward,” said Harry Alford, national chamber president, who stopped in Springfield on a cross-country speaking tour of state and local chapters.
Alford said Illinois was the “model” for states that implement a 1968 law that says 30 percent of all new jobs funded through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have to go to people living in public housing or under the poverty level.
Illinois is set to receive $539 million from HUD as part of the stimulus package.
