"America's Worst CEOS: Where Are They Now?" is the title of a CBS News MoneyWatch article from April, 2012.
Author Steve Kobak very likely would not have imagined that one of his seven would now be running for President. Less likely still did he expect that she would be boosted for the position by the first-ever cable news network.
She didn't make the cut for the only debate that really mattered, the one televised at 8:00 p.m. eastern by CNN. So they changed the rules.
Early in the debate, Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina engaged in an argument- clearly won by Trump- over their business records, after which Chris Christie complained "The fact is that we don’t want to hear about your careers, back and forth and volleying back and forth about who did well and who did poorly" (report from The News Hour with Jim Lehrer, below). Jake Tapper proceeded to give Fiorina- and not Trump- a chance to respond. "The highest calling of leadership," responded one of the worst CEO's in modern American history, "is to unlock the leadership potential in others." Tapper dared not ask her how firing 30,000 people and sending the net worth of the company hurtling downward unlocked leadership potential.
The candidates were asked by Dana Bash about Planned Parenthood, to which candidates Kasich, Cruz, and Christie gave their opinions about, of course, Planned Parenthood. But Fiorina, without either logic or subtlety, widened the scope of the question by stating "Dana, I would like to link these two issues, both of which are incredibly important, Iran and Planned Parenthood."
Having absorbed the corporate message of promoting one of the two candidates rising in the polls (the other, Ben Carson, they were not about to promote), Bash neglected to step in and remind the candidate the question was about Planned Parenthood, not Iran. (In Iran, abortion is strictly prohibited after the 18th week of pregnancy. In Republican plans, it would be the 20th week.)
Most of all, there was the "most predictable question," as Democratic Strategist editor Ed Kilgore recognizes, of the debate, when Fiorina was essentially asked to repeat the audio of her very effective ad of the previous week. Sharp enough to recognize a set-up, Fiorina responded "You know, it’s interesting to me, Mr. Trump said that he heard Mr. Bush very clearly and what Mr. Bush said. I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said." It was a response as predictable as the question, and as effective as a question designed to elicit a stirring soundbite.
And if as to confirm that promotion of Carly Fiorina was a prime objective of the network, there was CNN's fact check of the candidate's rant about Planned Parenthood, immediately following her rant about Iran, in which she claimed
As regards Planned Parenthood, anyone who has watched this videotape, I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, it’s heart beating, it’s legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.
CNN acknowledges on its fact-checking website
The clip does show what appears to be a fully formed fetus on an operating table with its legs twitching. But the clip Fiorina references is not part of the CMP sting video but was instead taken by another anti-abortion group and was added to the sting video. The Center for Medical Progress, however, doesn't explain where the fetus video was shot, so it's not clear whether it was taken at a Planned Parenthood clinic. For its part, the women's health organization has flatly denied the accusations.
Not only is it unclear the footage was shot at a Planned Parenthood clinic, it almost surely was not. Vox's Sarah Kliff, who has watched every minute of each video, observes
The third Human Capital video has stock footage of a fetus kicking on a table — though that footage isn't from inside a Planned Parenthood. The video cites the Center for Bioethical Reform and the Grantham Collection as the sources for that footage, and never claims to have taped those images themselves.
The Center for Bioethical Reform and the Grantham Collection are both virulent anti-abortion outfits.
CNN notes that former StemExpress procurement technician is seen in the video stating "This is the most gestated fetus and closest thing to a baby I've ever seen. I'm sitting here looking at this fetus and its heart is beating and I don't know what to do." However, Kliff explains
There is no video of the images that O'Donnell describes seeing, nor is there any mention of instructions to "keep it alive so we can harvest its brain," so it's still not the footage Fiorina describes having watched. I've reached out to the Fiorina camp to see if they have a better answer.
But they still are not the scene that Fiorina describes. There's no footage of the moment O'Donnell describes, nor is there proof offered that it occurred — there's no moment to "watch," as Fiorina urged debate viewers.
After Kliff received a (largely irrelevant) reply from the Fiorinistes, she asked for a clarification. She received another video, in which the images "still are not the scene that Fiorina describes. There's no footage of the moment O'Donnell describes, nor is there proof offered that it occurred — there's no moment to 'watch,' as Fiorina urged debate viewers." Additionally,
the footage of the fetus in that video isn't from the Planned Parenthood videos. One image is of a stillborn baby, initially included in the video without the mother's permission. Other footage appears to come from a collection of stock footage of fetuses. "The stock footage was added to the video to dramatize its content," fact-checking website Politifact concluded. "We don’t know the circumstances behind this video: where it came from, under what conditions it was obtained, or even if this fetus was actually aborted (as opposed to a premature birth or miscarriage)."
Politifact rated Fiorina's claim as "mostly false" and the Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck concludes "the scene Fiorina 'dares' others to watch is not present in any of the Planned Parenthood videos."
To CNN, however, Fiorina's tale was "true, but misleading." I myself have seen images of a man bending steel in his bare hands and leaping a 100+ foot building on a single bound. And on Thursday morning, Fiorina stated "Rest assured, I have seen the images I talked about last night," though she still has not disclosed them..
On Friday, Rush Limbaugh argued "the media" has been looking for months for a candidate to tout as the one to bring Donald Trump down. There is a grain of truth to that but CNN has done so most visibly. Recognizing in the couple of weeks prior to the debate that the leading contender to Trump was (albeit low-keyed) culture warrior Ben Carson, the network (without a paper trail) keyed in on Carly Fiorina.
Like Trump and Carson, Fiorina had benefited from the first round, but is a more faithful corporate warrior, and had been inserted into the debate when CNN violated its own, initial, guidelines. She's the kind of conservative Republican whom CNN and its parent company, Time-Warner, Inc., can warm up to.

I do not ask for youth, nor for delay
in the rising of time's irreversible river
that takes the jewelled arc of the waterfall
in which I glimpse, minute by glinting minute,
all that I have and all I am always losing
as sunlight lights each drop fast, fast falling.
I do not dream that you, young again,
might come to me darkly in love's green darkness
where the dust of the bracken spices the air
moss, crushed, gives out an astringent sweetness
and water holds our reflections
motionless, as if for ever.

How hard is it to learn Muay Thai?
Muay Thai is easy to learn and simple enough to pick up for most people. … While most beginners start off looking awkward in Muay Thai movements especially with their roundhouse kicks, the majority become reasonably proficient within 2-3 months of regular practice at a Muay Thai gym.
How many days will it take to learn Muay Thai?
To become competent at Muay Thai you need to regularly train for around 3 years and have some fight experience. To say you are competent you should have had around 5-6 fights, as you can claim some experience and use the experience to fight far more tactically as your Muay Thai fight IQ has improved a lot.
Can you learn to fight on your own?
Yes, you can start martial arts training at home. … If you want to become an elite MMA fighter or boxer, then training at home isn’t a good choice. In fact, most martial arts have some element of combat involved, so you’ll need to find a trained sparring partner.
Should I learn Muay Thai or MMA?
But, Muay Thai is an excellent martial art to start with if you think about going into MMA. It can be used for a stand-up fight and has some great techniques for cliche as well. If you want to succeed in MMA you will have to be at least familiar with other techniques, but Muay Thai is a great way to go.
Can I practice Muay Thai at home?
Everyone who trains Muay Thai goes through times where they have to spend more time away from their local Muay Thai gym than they want to. … All you need is 30-minutes to an hour to train muay thai at home. If you have a heavy bag – great! If not, that’s fine too.
What is better Muay Thai or Krav Maga?
In general, Krav Maga is better for self-defense than Muay Thai simply because it was invented for the sole purpose of defending yourself. But, having knowledge of either of the two will help you a lot when it comes to self-defense.
Can you get a black belt in Muay Thai?
As said, in traditional Muay Thai – there are no belts so you can never get a black belt. … So, inform yourself about the different approaches and have several options ready if you’re planning on starting with Muay Thai practice. And this is the story of belts and belt colours in the martial art of Muay Thai.

Europe is top target for acquisitions by Indian Cos
New Delhi, Oct 23: Indian companies will spend more than 10 billion dollars on acquisitions in Europe this year, accounting for almost 90 per cent of the total overseas purchases, an industry chamber said here today.
According to IndusView Advisors Private Ltd, the acquisition of the UK's top steel maker Corus Group Plc by India's Tata Steel Ltd for eight billion dollars adds to the 2.68 billion dollars spent by Indian firms during the first half of 2006 on 32 acquisitions of European firms.
It does not include the 38 billion dollars of Arcelor SA by Mittal Steel Co, as the latter is not India-based.
''The Tata-Corus deal is a shot in the arm in the globalisation of Indian firms'', said Bundeep Singh Rangar, Chairman of IndusView, the India-focused cross-border advisory firm.
''Europe's multilingual, multicultural and fragmented market place means that Indian companies must buy their way into the European market''.
''The single market and common language make the US market accessible to Indian companies. Familiarity with Asian culture make nearby Asian markets much more conducive for business'', said Mr Rangar.
He said Europe's diversity makes it a tougher market to crack by organic growth alone.
Mergers and acquisitions worth 10.8 billion dollars involved the Indian companies during the first six months of 2006. These included four billion dollars spent by Indian companies on 85 overseas acquisitions.
Two thirds of money was spent on buying European firms. On the flip side, foreign companies bought 34 Indian firms worth 3.4 billion dollars.
The UK remained the top destination for acquisitions by Indian companies. India also became the third largest investor in the UK as Indian companies invested about two billion dollars in the UK financial year to March 2006, more than twice the previous year.
India's Tata Group with revenue of 22 billion dollars and equivalent to about 2.8 per cent of the country's GDP, leads the M&A league table with its acquisition of Corus Group Plc.
The Tata Group had previously acquired the UK-based Tetley Group in February 2000, then the world's largest manufacturer of tea, for 407 million dollars at that time.
The Corus acquisition will be India's largest-ever global acquisition that will make Tata Steel the world's fifth largest steel producer with a capacity of about 26 million tons and combined sales of 24.4 billion dollars.
''It gives Tata's the size and scale to be globally competitive in a consolidating steel industry'', said Mr Rangar.
Tata Steel had bought Singapore's Natsteel Ltd in August 2004 for 287 million dollars and Thailand's Millennium Steel Pcl for 400 million dollars in December 2005.

The Pond Paddock
The Pond Paddock used to be a sheep paddock, and the grass is still fairly rough and robust. It is now ringed with garden borders and dotted with mature deciduous trees - flowering cherries, oaks, a silver birch and a maple.
Pond Paddock Trees
Over the years things became more and more shady throughout summer, and some of the paddock grass became over-run with moss. Removal and spring sowings of grass seed didn't work, so I changed direction and turned the shady area underneath the flowering cherries into a large oval shaped border. I loaded it up with horse manure, mulch, and leaves. I edged it with divisions of Rock lilies (Renga Renga), and planted mainly Phormiums and Carexes in its interior. No point in letting the grass struggle any longer.
My New Pond Paddock Garden
Quite a few self-sown seedling plants have generously joined the new Pond Paddock garden - Pseudopanax, Pittosporums, and Cordylines. They are happy with the shade in summer. There might be a place for a few rhododendrons - we'll have to wait and see. The flowering cherries are great for tree climbing, and I'm going to install a couple of swings. For the smaller visitors, you understand.
Pond Paddock in Early Autumn
In autumn, fallen leaves cover what's left of the Pond Paddock grass. Much raking and bagging of leaves goes on - over many weeks. But the colours are so pretty, and I rather like scuffing through them on my way back and forth to Pond Cottage. I pile the bags under the nearby gum tree, cross my fingers, and wait for leaf mould.
Bags of Oak Leaves
I have some interesting early photographs of the Pond Paddock, taken from the Ram Paddock. Pond Cottage is there on the left, looking so pretty nestled in the trees. The lawn in these pictures was still coping, nicely green.
Pond Cottage and the Pond Paddock
The photograph below was taken in 2006. You'll see the Jelly Bean Border on the right.
Blossom in the Pond Paddock
From the Archives...
Below is a photograph from the Moosey Archives, taken in the year 1999. You can see that the Gunnera has some wind damage to the edges of its leaves. I have always had plans to incorporate the Ram Paddock into the Pond paddock - unfortunately the wire fence which separates them is still firmly in place.

Leicester City are considering a move for RB Salzburg striker Patson Daka this summer.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for Jamie Vardy’s long-term replacement at the King Power.
And the speedy Daka, one of the most exciting young forwards in Europe, features high among the targets under consideration by the FA Cup winners.
Daka scored 29 goals in 36 games for the Austrian side last season, yet could be available for as little as £17million.
That price tag appeals for several reasons, including the potential for the 22-year-old to have a huge resale value in years to come.
But Leicester can offer him a quicker pathway into the first team and that could tip the balance their way.
Rodgers knows that, at 34, Vardy hasn’t got too many more years left in the tank.
Although the former England striker still scored 17 goals last season and is showing few signs of slowing down.
Kelechi Iheanacho had his best season in front of goal for Leicester last season as well, scoring 19 goals.
But Rodgers still has to find someone to spearhead his team post-Vardy and there is a belief at the club that Daka could be that man.

Heart failure (HF) means the inability of the heart to pump adequate blood for the body’s requirement.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a type of heart failure, that needs timely medical attention and is sometimes addressed as HF itself. CHF occurs when the heart is unable to pump the blood efficiently, leading to the collection of blood in various parts of the body. Untreated heart failure can result in total failure of the heart, and the failure of other vital organs due to insufficient blood supply.
Symptoms of Heart Failure
High level of LDL in blood can increase the risk for other conditions such as:
Causes of Heart Failure
Several conditions, especially the ones that are heart-related can cause heart muscle damage, examples include:
- Coronary heart disease (CAD)
- Heart attack
- High blood pressure
- Congenital heart disease (heart problems since birth)
- Tobacco usage and alcohol consumption
- Medications used during cancer treatment
- Kidney disease

Depending on the symptoms and pre-existing medical conditions, certain diagnostic blood tests and scans such as MRI scan, X-ray scan, CT scan, echocardiogram, biopsy, etc. may be performed to confirm the diagnosis and to determine the treatment plan.
The treatment plan is based on the extent of damage to the heart and vital organs, and the underlying causative factors. Treatment generally consists of immediate lifestyle changes to be made, medications to reduce risk factors and promote blood circulation to the vital organs, and surgery if required.

BELLBROOK — The Bellbrook Golden Eagles had a successful day smacking the ball around Friday at Bellbrook High School, leading to a 10-0 run-rule victory over Southwestern Buckeye League rival Eaton.
After holding Eaton (3-7, 2-4 SWBL) runless in the top of the first, Bellbrook (1-3, 6-0 SWBL) put three runs on the board on three hits. Casey Demko scored on a single from Cody Clark, Austin Hall scored on a sacrifice fly and Clark scored on a double from Joe Mezzanotte.
“We had a really really really good offensive approach at the plate, one that we haven’t seen from us even though we’ve had some pretty decent success. They attacked the baseball and some balls fell,” say Bellbrook coach Rick Demko.
The runs really started rolling in at the bottom of the second inning. The Golden Eagles brought in five runs on four hits, three of those runs coming with two outs. Bellbrook finished the game with nine hits overall. Hall finished the day 2-3 with two singles and two runs scored. Riley Brown led the team in RBIs with two.
“We’ve always told them to be really really aggressive on good pitches and they were, all the way through the order,” said Demko. “We put the pressure on the defense with a couple bunts, which we talk about, so we took care of it on both sides: The pressure on the bunt side of things and we drove the ball into some gaps today.”
Nathan Coffey got the win from the mound for Bellbrook. He pitched all five innings, striking out three and allowing only four hits.
While he was happy with the win, Demko said there are still things for the Golden Eagles to improve on.
“We’re still a little lackadaisical on the bases a little bit. We missed a couple of our signs, believe it or not. I’m not going to say I’m not happy with the win. The pitcher threw strikes just like we asked him to do. Overall pretty clean,” he said.
Bellbrook is back in action in a doubleheader against Beavercreek at 11 a.m. today at Beavercreek High School.
Lady Eagles recover after grand slam
The Bellbrook softball team also had success over Eaton, Friday at Bellbrook High School, winning 8-7.
After being tied at three runs a piece over the first four innings, Eaton sophomore Meghen Puckett hit a grand slam in the top of the fifth to give the Eagles (0-7, 0-5 SWBL) a 7-3 lead. She had two homers on the day.
Bellbrook (4-4, 3-2 SWBL) then battled back in the bottom of the sixth to reclaim the lead. Sophomore Jackie Thompson drove in two runs in the inning and freshman Claire Fryman drove in the winning run.
“We’ve had really an up and down year and that was very evident today. Got behind a little bit early, battled back, then went way behind,” said Bellbrook coach Jeff Eckley. “We’ve been having trouble with pitchers missing spots and (opponents) hitting the ball out of the park and that’s what the one young lady did. But then we came back, battled back.”
Bellbrook’s defense made its stand in the top of the seventh. After two quick outs to start the inning, a couple of Lady Eagle errors got some Eaton runners on base. But senior pitcher Haleigh Perry put the game away, striking out Puckett to get the win.
The Lady Eagles take on Beavercreek in a double-header at 11 a.m. today at Rotary Park.

‘A degree of a different character’: 100 years of the Cambridge PhD
On 16 May 1919, a specially established syndicate presented a series of revised regulations governing the admission and courses of study of research students and instituting the new degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).[i] The regulations were approved in May 1920 and the Board of Research Studies (later called the Board of Graduate Studies) was established. The first Cambridge PhD was approved on 17 May 1921. Just four theses were deposited in the University Library in 1921. In the last academic year, 2017/18, close to 1200 were deposited bringing the total number in the 100 years since the establishment of the PhD to over 39,000.
The advent of the PhD degree in Cambridge has a long and perhaps typically convoluted backstory. By the later part of the 19th century, some European and North American universities had begun to offer the equivalent of a PhD degree. The origins of the discussion on the subject of research degrees in Cambridge can be traced back to 1894 when a report was presented to the Council of the Senate, the governing body of the University in this period, in response to proposals at Oxford for the establishment of MSc and MLitt degrees. The subsequent discussions in the Senate, at times fierce and at times seemingly endlessly bogged down in the minutiae of academic red tape, centred on the desirability of attracting students from other higher education institutions, particularly ‘foreign and colonial students’, to Cambridge. The leading advocates for the research degree recognised its potential to attract, in particular, the best young scientists to Cambridge.
Along with the issue of the desirable composition of research students, the discussions also centred on the form such a research degree should take. Prior to the 1919 regulations, research students could proceed to the degree of BA or LLB by examination or by means of certificates of research, usually awarded following a two year period of residence and on production of a piece (or pieces) of written research output. A change in the University statutes allowed graduates of other higher education institutions to pursue this avenue. First among these graduate students, known in this period as advanced students, was the physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1895. The noted mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan submitted several papers on the subject of highly composite numbers in 1916 under this scheme. About 250 advanced student dissertations are held in the University Library.
Discussions continued, though, on the nature of the research degree. There was particular dissatisfaction with the two-year period of study and general concerns about the standard of the degree. In a discussion of a report presented in 1916 by the General Board of Studies on Degrees for Research, there was eventual consensus that research students should be awarded ‘a degree of different character’ from any which had previously been offered.[ii] The 1919 regulations represent, therefore, the culmination of some 25 years of discussion and debate, the work of a number of syndicates and the production of many reports.
These first set of regulations concerning the PhD are remarkably familiar and in line with our modern understanding of the PhD as a degree awarded on dissertation after at least three years’ independent study. Regulation 13, for instance, spelt out the need to document sources and dealt with the issue of originality, while regulation 17 required a copy of the completed thesis to be deposited in the University Library. It is clear, however, from the graduate files of the earliest individuals who were approved for the PhD degree that the University administration was still uncertain about the standard of the degree and the procedure of its assessment. The Board of Research Studies maintained a file on every graduate student, successful and unsuccessful, typically comprising application papers, progress reports, financial records and examiners’ reports. From correspondence in the file of Charles Wolf, whose thesis ‘The Determination of Lactic Acid’ (University Library classmark: PhD.1) was the first to deposited in the University Library, it is clear that the Board of Research Studies had not yet settled certain fundamental points of procedure.[iii] Wolf was made to wait nearly six months from the point at which he submitted his work before he had any further communication from the Board of Research Studies.
There is also a sense that the early PhD examiners and supervisors were themselves still finding their way. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, who supervised the PhD of Julius Herman (‘The development of English drama since Robertson to the present day’, University Library classmark: PhD.2), described the difficulties he had encountered in curbing the enthusiasm of his indefatigable charge. Herman’s thesis was an ambitious attempt to survey the whole of modern English drama. In a comment on the size of Herman’s bibliography, Quiller-Couch observed that he ‘not only devoured libraries but digested them’.[iv]
Whatever scepticism or lingering doubt there may have been about the new degree, the annual reports of the Board of Research Studies, produced from 1921, document the rapidly growing numbers of PhD students at Cambridge in the 1920s. The annual reports show that the PhD did serve to attract students from other institutions, from America in particular but also from across the colonies, as well as appealing to a growing proportion of Cambridge students. The dominance of science in the early years of the PhD is also apparent. James Chadwick, the nuclear physicist credited with the discovery of the neutron for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1935, was supervised by Ernest Rutherford and gained one of the first PhD degrees in 1921. Among the many notable individuals who submitted a PhD in this early period are the archaeologist Cyril Fred Fox (1923), physicists Peter Kapitza (1923) and Paul Dirac (1926), literary critic F.R. Leavis (1924), biochemist Joseph Needham (1924) and philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1929). Sylva Thurlow was the first woman to submit a science PhD in 1925 (‘Studies on the mechanism of the xanthine oxidase …’, University Library classmark: PhD.93).
The history of the Cambridge PhD, its drawn-out establishment, early years and subsequent evolution into the principle research degree for graduate students, is surely a subject worthy in itself of a PhD.
Theses can be consulted in the Manuscripts Reading Room on the third floor of Cambridge University Library. A small but growing number are available online, via the university repository Apollo. The University Archives holds the records of the Board of Graduate Studies, including the graduate student files and board minutes – these, too, can be consulted in the Manuscripts Reading Room.

What an amazing weekend! As a community, we once again showed others and ourselves that we know how to put on some fantastic events.
Paint the Port, Tour de Freeport, Brewfest and Paddle the Pec were individually and collectively wonderful. All of the events this weekend were well-attended and the mood was positive and hopeful. Thank you to all of the organizations and people that helped pull this past weekend off. The hours of volunteerism and hard work are extremely appreciated.
I had the pleasure of attending all of the events. As I was passing out community-satisfaction surveys and making a point of talking with as many people as I could, two exciting themes emerged. The first was the large number of out-of-town visitors. I spoke to people visiting from Chicago, both the city and suburbs, Rockford, and the Wisconsin cities of Lake Geneva, Monroe and Madison.
Some were friends and family of community members, while others did not previously have a connection to Freeport. They simply heard about our events and wanted to see what was happening. These tourists were extremely complimentary to our community. Several noted that they were impressed with how we seem to be turning things around here. They all said that they are looking forward to having another reason to return.
The second theme was the number of people that are new to the area. Frankly, the large number of people I spoke with who had moved to our area within the last year surprised me. Each and every one of these new community members stated that they relocated here for career opportunities. The positions and organizations that attracted them were in both the private and public sectors.
The individuals varied from those who are early in their careers to those with significant work experience. Some were single and some were married. The best part of the conversation was when they repeatedly shared the reasons they decided to move here. They said it mattered to them that our community is working so hard to build a positive image. They want to be a part of the growth and the opportunities that are going to come.
Our community is going through changes and others are taking notice. Once again, thank you to all the volunteers and all of you who attended the weekend events. Please visit freeport-all-in.com to find out more about this and other events in our community.

Alaska Lawmakers Plan Point Thomson Trip
State lawmakers are heading north Tuesday to take a first-hand look at the Point Thomson petroleum field.
FAIRBANKS- State lawmakers are heading north Tuesday to take a first-hand look at the Point Thomson petroleum field.
Sen. Click Bishop says he's optimistic about Exxon Mobil progress on the prospect.
The Fairbanks Republican says he believes the company is serious about moving ahead with the development and that Point Thompson could enhance chances for a major natural gas pipeline.
Point Thomson is considered a promising prospect but the state and Exxon Mobil for years disagreed about whether the company was making sufficient progress toward development.
A 2012 settlement includes potential penalties aimed at forcing the oil company to move toward increased production.
Bishop says he's pleased to see Exxon Mobil following through on promises to hire Alaskans.


England Cricket Board (ECB) on Sunday announced the squad for the Ashes. The board named the strongest squad available despite speculations of few England players not available for selections. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer, however, continue to be on the sidelines for different reasons. While Stokes is on a mental health break, Jofra Archer is recovering from an injury. Zak Crawley, Dan Lawrence and Dom Bess, who were dropped from the series against India, have been recalled, while Haseeb Hameed has held on to his spot after impressive performance against India.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain feels that England have named a very predictable squad and could have gambled on a couple of players. Hussain feels that Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson could have been picked in the squad, adding that Mahmood could have thrived in Australian conditions owing to his ability to generate reverse swing.
“England have picked a very predictable Ashes squad, avoiding selecting any uncapped players and refusing to take any kind of risk. The two surprises for me were overlooking Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson. Saqib would have given a different element to the attack in Australian conditions with his skiddy reverse swing, in the absence of the pace of Jofra Archer and Olly Stone.”
Hussain further said England could have preferred Matt Parkinson or Mason Crane over Dom Bess. “And I would have gone for Parkinson’s leg-spin instead of Dom Bess. I would have liked a bit of wrist spin available to me as captain — if not Parkinson, then Mason Crane.”
The 53-year-old also expressed disappointment over the non-selection of Liam Livingstone, adding that he could have been an apt substitute for Ben Stokes. “I’d also have taken a punt on Liam Livingstone, an in-your-face, confident cricketer in the mould of Kevin Pietersen and Ben Stokes. He’s someone who could take the attack to the opposition from his natural, middle-order position. The absence of Stokes is the biggest concern. It gives England a massive selection headache. Without him, it will be a nightmare trying to balance the side and I envisage England going into matches with an all-seam attack backed up by Root’s off-spin.”

MBO Issue 24 (Nov 2013) Race To The Bottom Continues
- Euro Is Not Worse Than US Dollar
- S&P Channel Breakout In Place
- Gold Bulls Hanging On By A Thread
- Big Picture Summary
Euro FBO against 1st quarter high, breaking 1.36 gave us a drop back down to 2012 year high around 1.33 as expected. Another one of those European politicos drama where the strength in Euro again resulted in a b.s. spike high.
S&P never gets the chance to even test the 1690 area thus no longer term bearish signal triggered. S&P simply continues its upside drift. As mentioned last time that I do not have an upside projection that may contain the move.
Bearish bias played out very well so far on gold. GLD cannot even hold above 130.

Sack the ref! McDonald must go for SFA to regain its 'integrity', Reid insists
Celtic chairman John Reid last night demanded the SFA restore integrity to the Scottish game by sacking compromised referee Dougie McDonald.
The Parkhead club remain incensed that McDonald has kept his job despite concocting a story to appease Hoops manager Neil Lennon after a penalty U-turn at Tannadice last month.
Flashpoint: McDonald (right) and assistant Craven discuss the infamous penalty incident at Tannadice
And, in an unprecedented assault on the governing body, the former cabinet minister chose the floor of Celtic's AGM to break his silence on the issue.
Chief executive Peter Lawwell joined the fray when he said he would be 'astonished' if the under-fire referee were appointed to another Celtic game. But Reid, 63, was first to open fire when he insisted: 'We need a fundamental review and restructure of the SFA. We have seen incidents recently where, in the case of one referee, his position ought to be completely untenable.
Under pressure: SFA chief Regan
'No one who has admitted to lying to our manager over decisions at a game should remain in post. 'He (McDonald) should go and, if not, he should be removed from his post. His position ought to be completely untenable and the SFA's position is untenable.
'There cannot be a system which allows a referee to lie and, allegedly, to try and get others to lie on a crucial decision affecting a game.
'There cannot be a system which permits that and retains integrity. So we need a fundamental review.
'But there is no question, in the meantime, that the referee should be removed from post or remove himself. It's not just wrong for Celtic, it's wrong for the game and for the SFA.
'We know an official has lied and conspired, and if you leave him at the centre of the game, that undermines people's confidence in things.
'The SFA, if they have any sense of their own integrity and role in Scottish football, should recognise this incident signals a lot. And, even at this late stage, they should look again.'
Hampden chief executive Stewart Regan has already promised to carry out the most extensive review of his organisation's systems in 120 years.
The Englishman was embarrassed by the decision of the refereeing committee - consisting of a panel of six former whistlers - to let McDonald off with a slap on the wrist.

How to manage business data in the cloud
MJ Scholtz, Data Engineer at PBT Group
In my previous blog, I discussed the four steps companies should consider taking when moving their data to the cloud. From planning and choosing the environment to migrating the data and applications to testing and validating them, all are integral to ensuring a successful transition. In this blog, the spotlight turns to how best to manage business data in the cloud.
In theory, once the organisation has completed its cloud migration tasks, managing the data in the cloud can be a simple and rewarding task. There are many good cloud-based technologies out there that will help companies manage their daily ETL and analytics tasks. This can be done effectively through the use of one of the many next generation iPaaS (integration platform as a service) solutions available on the market today.
Many of these cloud-based technologies also offer pay-as-you-use scalable payment solutions. These not only save operational costs, for example, by allowing the business to pay only for the amount of data records that it processes, but also provides an ad-hoc ‘automatic’ upscaling ability for those times where extra processing power is required. For instance, over month-end. With the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend around the corner, retailers can significantly benefit from such cloud-based environments.
Partner of choice
When selecting a technology partner, it is once again my recommendation for the business to consult with a data specialist team first. This will help the company get a full analytical view of its requirements. This will also enable the company to make a more informed decision on what tools and technology stacks will provide the most value for its business.
There is a vast array of products on the market currently that can help an organisation manage its data in the cloud. From my experience, here are a few key points that I tend to look for in a cloud-based data management tool:
Each organisation is unique. This means there are unique challenges and unique ways to get around any specific issues. It is therefore important that the solution should accommodate the necessary ‘customisations’ to the dataflows.
Source control is one of the most important factors that can help ensure continuous delivery throughout a project life cycle. It allows for a close collaboration between the dev teams and IT operations through the means of iterative development and version control.
Easy integration with databases and other business applications
This can be one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks during a project. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that the selected product is able to connect to all required data sources and necessary business applications easily and natively. Secondly, the product must be able to expand or customise these connections as the business grows and new technologies are onboarded.
Managing cloud-based business data does not have to be a complex undertaking. By keeping these simple elements in mind, an organisation can unlock value to harness new business opportunities.


|Email Abuse: Cons, Attacks, Phishes, and oh yes "spam"|

Spam. Lately there has been a great deal of confusion around the term – but here friend of Save the Mail Tim comes to the rescue with some much needed insight on the term, and email abuse in general.
To really dive into where email is at today, we first have to dive into where it all started. And in the case of email, that’s goes back to the 60s and 70s when an email communications network was assembled for use almost exclusively by research scientists. The goal of email was simple: get work done – faster & more easily.
But in 1978 one man realized that this network happened to be the target audience for a new product he was selling (a digital mainframe) and he sent an “unsolicited, commercial email” to this entire database. When Gary Thuerk, “father of spam,” sent this short note out spam was born.
And today, we find our inboxes cluttered with messages, many of which we don’t even want. But few of these messages are “commercial” in nature. In fact, increasingly these messages fall into 1 of 3 categories:
Unfortunately, no friendly message from Gary Thuerk in the mix here: it is flat out EMAIL ABUSE. Check out the video above for the whole story.
Over the next few weeks you’ll see more and more of these popping up and we hope you find each of them both interesting and useful (if you don’t – let us know!). The world of email is growing increasingly complicated and our goal here will be to arm you with the knowledge you need to protect yourself and participate in the conversation.

Surge in hijacked PC networks
The number of computers hijacked by malicious hackers to send out spam and viruses has grown almost 30% in the last year, according to a survey. More than six million computers world wide are now part of a "bot network", reported security firm Symantec.

It seems to me that there are common responses to this question. The first kind of response is to ignore it. The second kind is to mock, at least in a subtle way. The third kind is to give an answer but an incomplete one. I suppose it is possible for the response to be completely frank and open but I doubt that I have ever seen it in Duranland. Why? Why the different responses? Before I dive into my theories about the different responses, let me point out something that may or may not be known. Fans can and do find the band. I have seen and heard enough to know that. It also seems to me that some fans are more likely to do this than others. Yes, some fans, like me, have met them through legitimate means (in my case-a cd signing) but others seem to find them outside of official meet and greets. Yet, even that fact does not ever seem to make the discussion threads. It seems to me that a lot of people hold back this information. Why? Why respond in the way that people do?
It seems to me that the most common responses to the “how do people meet the band” threads are either ignoring the thread entirely or to give what seems like partial answers. For example, you never see someone post, “I know that they always stay at this brand of hotel when they visit such and such a country and they usually show up there about blank time after the show and I recommend you approach this band member in such and such a way…” Nope. I don’t see that. I see people talking about cd signing or finding them outside of the venue right after a show. Now, those are legitimate ways of meeting them. Absolutely. I agree. Yet, I think that people have met them at hotels or at clubs or somewhere else that I can’t even guess. So, why don’t people share openly? My theory has to do with the idea that people don’t want to share. They might be willing to share with their friends but to share with random posters on a message board or on a social networking site is out of the question. I suspect that most fans, especially in Durandom, don’t want to share the band with others. I can understand that. We all want our time with the guys. We all want our moments with them and we don’t want others to take that time away from us. Plus, I think there is always a concern that if too many people show up, that the band will just leave and I wouldn’t even blame them for that. They deserve their space and their privacy. Part of my concern is always about whether or not people would be respectful of the band and respectful of their space. Yet, we never say any of this on those threads.
Some people don’t respond to the question about where/how to find the band but instead secretly or not-so-secretly mock the person who asked the question. Why? I don’t have an answer to that. Maybe they just like having their secret means of finding out where the band is and would never even consider sharing. Perhaps, they don’t think that these fans are worthy of having knowledge like this. Maybe it is a way that they can feel superior. I don’t know. I just know that I don’t like that. I can understand not wanting to share. I get it. It might not be a great personality trait but it is one that I think most of us can understand and relate to, to some extent. But making fun seems just mean-spirited. Heck, I will admit that I don’t even know if they are intentionally mocking. It just feels that way to me.
I wonder if the people who ask the question are aware that no matter the answers there is not full disclosure. Where the band is seems to be information known by some within the fan community. It seems to always be treated as a precious secret that should not be shared. No matter the reason this information is treated in that way, it must create different levels of fans. Is that a good thing???

Il Corso in Cebu a key part of FLI’s planned retail expansion-A A +A
Friday, May 16, 2014
PROPERTY developer Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) is expanding its gross leasable area for retail to 500,000 square meters in the next five years, as part of efforts to strengthen its retail and commercial arm.
Of the figure, its Il Corso project in the South Road Properties (SRP) in Cebu City will contribute 35,000 square meters, FLI retail group senior vice president Joy R. Polloso said yesterday.
Il Corso, which sits on an eight-hectare property in the SRP, is the first retail development of FLI outside Luzon. Polloso, in previous interviews, said the company has invested at least P3 billion for the project.
FLI broke ground yesterday for the west zone of Il Corso.
The whole development will house 11 interconnected low-rise structures, which will be composed of shopping, dining and recreation centers.
Polloso said they can accommodate more than 200 tenants in the area and added there is great interest among retailers to position themselves in Il Corso.
“We will continue to pitch to the retailers that our development will be able to cater to the untapped market—the south and tourists who will find our development an interesting destination,” said Polloso in a statement.
With the vibrant retail industry in Cebu, the official added that they are planning to open two buildings in Il Corso before the last quarter of 2015.
This is to let local and foreign shoppers feel “the distinct shopping experience” in Il Corso, “a shopping haven by the sea.”
“It is our commitment to Cebu that we will continue to strive to make our first mall development in Cebu exciting and distinct. It will not just provide choices in additional brands but nourish and support new concepts of Cebuano food that will be at par with global standards,” she added.
At present, Il Corso’s interim tenant locator, Lantaw Restaurant, is attracting a “strong market” from the south.
Il Corso is part of FLI’s 50-hectare master-planned community in SRP called Citta di Mare.
FLI external public relations officer Cerwin Eviota said Il Corso will also serve residents of nearby Amalfi Oasis and San Remo Oasis, part of Citta di Mare, where eight medium-rise buildings have been built, with at least 1,050 units turned over to the buyers.

The Dow makes new highs. Sorry: This is an international market NOT simply domestic. The key to REAL forecasting is global NEVER in isolation. You simply cannot forecast ANYTHING in isolation. Now the gurus will come out claiming to have called it as they always do. Just ask how? This model has been unbelievable on a global scale. It is why they would like to shut us down so they can lead sheep to the slaughter. For this to happen, it is part of a global correlation. Each thing is a result of the last. The trend is confirmed by watching the WHOLE. Most press is too in the pocket of government and New York to ever report anything that goes against those interests.
Yes it costs a fortune. But it is worth it.
A reader wrote:
“I want to congratulate you. Nobody said the Dow would move to new in 2011 – only you. Not so long ago you had to address the crazy Elliot Wave people who have always called for the end of the Dow. They did that in 1987 as well. That is when I first heard of you and you were saying new highs then. You are always the only person and you have to fight with people who always say you are wrong. The Dow clearly is not going to 400. I fully understand why you have been the largest adviser in the world. Gold will be just a repeat. Thank you so much for all your efforts in trying to educate the world. If you could set up government to run efficiently for once we would all be better off.”


text: This paper tries to determine how growth of money supply affects inflation in different time-horizons and under different inflation levels in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Russia. The research is done by using two innovative methodologies – the wavelet approach and Bayesian quantile regression. By observing these four countries, we can assess whether inflation targeting (IT) plays significant role in curbing inflation, because three Visegrad group countries adopted IT almost two decades ago, while Russia started to conduct IT relatively recently. Estimated quantiles suggest that money supply growth does not influence inflation in the Czech Republic and Hungary, whatsoever. We find that money growth impacts inflation in Poland, but very modestly. On the other hand, in the case of Russia, the transmission effect from money to inflation is much higher, and it goes around 40% in low inflation conditions, when M1 aggregate is observed, and around 78% in low inflation conditions, when M3 aggregate is analysed. The overall results clearly indicate that the adoption of the IT framework as a disinflation strategy proved to be successful in the Visegrad group countries, since excessive money growth has little or no effect at all on inflation in these countries.

Fear and anxiety. A deadly combination that sweeps our modern world these days. My teenage daughter shared her heart in a recent conversation, where she talked about some of the fears that often cross her mind. Some of them invade her thoughts in the middle of the night, keeping her awake for hours on end.
I remember having the same crippling, often irrational fears for many years: fear of dying. Fear of robbers entering my house. Fear that my parents would die. The list went on and on. As fear settles in our hearts, anxiety takes over, and many of us are robbed of a peaceful, abundant life.
The harmful effects of anxiety are well known to the medical community. In the U.S. alone, 40 million adults suffer from anxiety disorders. When our bodies are under stress, our nervous system responds with a reaction known as “fight or flight.”In the U.S. alone, 40 million adults suffer from anxiety disorders Click To Tweet
There are times when this physiological reaction is a healthy defense mechanism, such as when a person feels threatened by imminent danger. This reaction tells us when to move out of an unsafe part of town, or it incites us to run when spotting a poisonous snake on the ground. We were born with this important trigger to help protect us from threats.
However, the fight or flight response was never intended to be an ongoing reaction to our problems. Indeed, chronic worry and emotional stress breed terrible health problems. Continuous fight or flight responses cause our body’s nervous system to release stress hormones such as cortisol, which can boost blood sugar levels and triglycerides. These hormones cause harmful reactions such as dizziness, increased heartbeat, fatigue, insomnia and headaches.
Needless to say, the long-term effects can be devastating, including suppression of the immune system, digestive disorders and heart disease. In other words, it’s not stress that’s making us ill. It’s our response to stress that is killing us.
I wish I could say that worry and anxiety stopped at the door of our sanctuaries.
But we all know that’s not true. If anything, many people of faith are fretting more than ever. Entire websites are dedicated to disaster preparedness and to tracking events around the globe linked to end-times prophecy. As a Christian, I have studied these prophecies and believe them. But I don’t think this is a time for panic, worrying or fear.
Rather, I’m reminded that one of the most popular commands found in the Bible is “Fear not.” It’s found in almost every one of the books of both the Old and New Testament.
Fear Not. I’ll never leave you. Fear Not. I believe these words. Through my hardest trials I’ve experienced them to be true. I know it won’t be different now.
There is no question that there are many concerning issues in our world. We cannot pretend that there is not turmoil in our country, and that certain preoccupations that occupy our minds are not valid. We cannot dig our heads in the sand and pretend that nothing bad will ever happen. We are not immune from terrible harm or unspeakable evil. We’ve seen it. We know it. We should certainly be vigilant, but we should not allow our spirits to be on constant fight or flight mode. Either we believe that God is in control … or we don’t.
I’m speaking with the authority of a recovering worrier. I’ve experienced firsthand the bitter effects of constant fear and anxiety. I don’t want to tread that ground ever again. I certainly know that problems, tragedies and disappointments are inevitable. But worry is a choice. Therefore, I deliberately choose to turn off the fight or flight mode for things that I cannot control. I choose to turn to God instead — for direction, protection and peace. I choose to surrender my concerns to God, and trust him for the outcome.it’s not stress that’s making us ill. It’s our response to stress that is killing us. Click To Tweet
