[NYPOST] A Fox Business news hound was busted last week trying to sneak a glass crack pipe into the federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan, sources and law enforcement told The Post.
Lawrence Crook III was on his way into the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse at 500 Pearl St. to cover the Sprint/T-Mobile merger trial on Dec. 9 when an eagle-eyed court security officer noticed a strange bulge in his sock, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the incident.
Crook immediately fessed up when confronted with the contraband, and began whining about how he’d recently lost his job at CNN and was in "big trouble," sources said.
A front man with Federal Protective Services offered a different version of events, claiming the glass pipe fell out of Crook’s pocket.
The 36-year-old was escorted from the premises without incident, and issued a violation for possessing drug paraphernalia on federal property, the front man said.
[NYPOST] A rape accuser of former Soros Fund portfolio manager Howard Rubin has backed off of her allegations amid a new settlement agreement between the pair, according to court papers and a sworn statement.
The woman sued the financier in 2018 for $7 million claiming that he brutalized her in his sex dungeon while repeatedly ignoring their agreed-upon safe word "pineapples" in 2015. Rubin denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! The accuser "voluntarily discontinues all of her claims against defendant Howard Rubin" the pair’s lawyers said in Manhattan Supreme Court papers filed Monday. "Our safe word was 'Flower', but she kept saying 'Flour'"
And in a sworn statement from Dec. 4 the woman said that she "knowingly and voluntarily chose to engage in consensual sexual activity with Mr. Rubin, including Sadomasochistic activity."
She also said in the statement that she voluntarily signed a confidentiality agreement with him Nov. 5, 2015.
The woman had claimed at the time that she had been plied with alcohol before she was made to sign the nondisclosure agreement.
"I now realize that my decision to file legal claims against Mr. Rubin was a mistake, and I have no claim for damages," she went on to say in the statement.
In October, the woman accused Rubin of tricking her into agreeing to a settlement offer, only for Rubin to later demand she "sign a statement exonerating" him after they already hashed out the deal.
The woman’s lawyer, Kevin Landau, told The Post that the terms of the settlement are "highly confidential."
"I can’t elaborate about the terms. All I can say is that the case needed to be resolved," Landau said. "The case is now done."
In September, another woman alleged in a lawsuit she was sexually abused by Rubin and another woman at his apartment ‐ and that Rubin later threatened to discredit her as a hooker if she brought claims against him. Rubin denied those accusations as well.
Three other women brought similar claims of sexual abuse and rape against Rubin in a Brooklyn federal lawsuit in 2017. That case is still pending.
Rubin’s lawyer also said, "The terms of the settlement agreement are confidential."
[ToloNews] Gen. Khoshal Sadat, the deputy interior minister, ordered the arrest of former local forces commander Nizamuddin Qaisari in the northern province of Balkh and deployed 60 members of the police special unit from Kabul, Balkh Police Chief Gen. Ajmal Fayez said.
The police chief said they are not regretting conducting the operation ‐ which according to locals turned the city of Mazar into a war zone for almost two days.
At least eight of Qaisari’s aids were killed in this operation that continued for at least 20 hours, according to local security officials.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] South Sudan’s president Salva Kiir said he and the country’s main former rebel leader reached a deal on Tuesday to form a long-delayed unity government.
Kiir and Riek Machar, who is now opposition leader, met over the past three days in the capital Juba to resolve outstanding disputes that prevented the formation of a coalition government in time for a Nov. 12 deadline.
There were international concerns that war could resume over the disputes.
Last month, the two leaders bought time by delaying the government’s formation for 100 days beyond that deadline.

[The Guardian] Downing Street is threatening the future of the BBC by insisting it is seriously considering decriminalising non-payment of the licence fee, while boycotting Radio 4’s Today programme over the broadcaster’s supposed anti-Tory bias.
No 10 pulled ministers from Saturday’s edition of the Today programme and sources said it intended to "withdraw engagement" from the show in future.
The row is seen as an ominous sign of Boris Johnson’s willingness to bypass independent scrutiny and follows criticism of the BBC’s election coverage from both left and right.
No 10 pointed to Andrew Neil’s on-air monologue in which he lambasted Johnson for his refusal to be interviewed, and the BBC’s "extensive coverage" of a four-year-old boy with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on a hospital floor ‐ as supposed evidence of anti-Tory, pro-remain bias at the corporation.
Meanwhile, Labour backers have raised concerns about the BBC’s coverage, from the editing out of laughter aimed at Johnson in a news bulletin to leading reporters uncritically repeating Conservative sources, and the prime minister escaping scrutiny after dodging the one-on-one interview with Neil.
The BBC has firmly rejected such criticism. In an email on Friday, the director general, Tony Hall, wrote: "In a frenetic campaign where we’ve produced hundreds of hours of output, of course we’ve made the odd mistake and we’ve held up our hands to them. Editors are making tough calls every minute of the day. But I don’t accept the view of those critics who jump on a handful of examples to suggest we’re somehow biased one way or the other."

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A preliminary trade deal reached between the United States and China has offset much of the damage done to global trade activity prospects, but tensions remain high and renewed escalation still poses risks, Fitch Ratings said in a statement on Tuesday.
Fitch noted that neither side of the agreement have provided details on the deal, "which makes it difficult to determine how viable it will be to implement."
On Friday, China and the US agreed a phase one deal, in which both countries will cut tariffs and China will purchase more American agricultural products. The nine-chapter text, which covers technology transfer, financial services, and dispute settlement, will undergo legal and translation review before it can be ratified, Chinese officials said.
"The trade war nonetheless appears far from over, even with a Phase One deal," the ratings agency said in a statement. "Fitch believes that underlying strategic tensions will remain between the US and China, particularly in fields such as technology, which will pose a major obstacle to full resolution of the trade war."
Fitch said that parts of the plan that have been publicly reported, such as the US Trade Representative’s statement that China will increase its imports of US goods and services by at least $200 billion in total over 2020-2021, seem unrealistic.
"Official statements indicate that the effective US tariff rate on imports from China will fall to around 16 percent under the plan, compared with earlier plans that would have seen it rise to around 25 percent," Fitch said in its statement about the deal.
"This represents a significant shift compared with our earlier assumption that the full set of tariff increases announced by the US in late August would be implemented."
The ratings agency now expects China’s economy to grow by close to 6 percent in 2020, compared with an earlier forecast of 5.7 percent.
"This will, in turn, support the outlook for the global economy, helping world GDP growth to stabilize in 2020 after falling to 2.6 percent this year from 3.2 percent in 2018," Fitch said.

[FoxNews] Almost $1.5 trillion of the world's cash, with U.S. $100 bills making up a great deal of it, is reportedly unaccounted for. So what happened to the money?
"Literally, a lot of these $100 bills are sitting in bank vaults all over the world," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told FOX Business' Lou Dobbs during an interview on Tuesday.
Mnuchin pointed to the negative interest rates causing people to turn to American dollars as a solid investment.
"The dollar is the reserve currency of the world, and everybody wants to hold dollars," Mnuchin said on "Lou Dobbs Tonight." "And the reason why they want to hold dollars is because the U.S. is a safe place to have your money, to invest and to hold your assets."
Prob'y sitting in safes of gov't officials and other wealthy individuals countries that have experienced severe currency devaluations recently.
A local currency devaluation makes these individuals' primary investment - real estate - much less valuable. So they shift their investments out of real estate and into hard currency i.e. $$ (or else US real estate - thus more than any factor is driving the California & Vancouver BC / Manhattan / Miami / London real estate booms of recent decades).
Some likely suspects i.e. countries with very weak currencies and/or that experienced major currency devaluations in 2018-19:
- China due to the trade war
- Iran due to the sanctions
- Venezuela due to the leaders' banditry/idiocy
- Argentina due to the leaders' banditry/idiocy
- Indonesia due to the leaders' banditry/idiocy
- Uganda due to the leaders' banditry/idiocy
[Rudaw] Police Major Sardar Fadhel Yahya’s phone buzzed with a new WhatsApp message. It was a plea for help from a woman who said she was locked in a room with little food and no clean water. She didn’t know where she was, but, at Yahya’s urging, sent her digital location via the messaging application. With that information, Yahya was able to narrow down where she was and get a court order authorizing him and his team to enter the premises.
Yahya is head of the Erbil office of the Ministry of the Interior’s Directorate of Combating Human Trafficking. The directorate opened on June 1, 2019 as mandated by the trafficking law passed a year earlier and has branches across the Kurdistan Region. The Erbil branch is located in the capital’s Dream City neighbourhood, a gated complex of grandiose houses built on what was barren land prior to 2003 and is now home to wealthy residents, most of whom have nannies or maids. The directorate opened half empty, with a minimal staff of just under 20 people to provide the most crucial services, but plans to expand once the government lifts its austerity hiring freeze and they can get more funding.
The office is reachable through a Facebook page and a phone number, 07509879911. They receive a lot of tips and appeals for help via WhatsApp and Viber, Yahya explained in an interview at his office on November 5.

text: Intrinsic and dandelion-like microflower nano-rod structures of boron-doped ZnO thin films were synthesized with an ecofriendly and cost-effective chemical bath deposition technique from an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate hexahdyrate [Zn(NO3)(2).6H(2)O] as a precursor solution and boric acid as a doping solution. The boron concentrations were 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 by volume. Scanning electron micrographs showed that doping with boron appears to hinder the vertical alignment of crystallites. Additionally, independent hexagonal nano-rod structures were observed to coalesce together to form dandelion-like structures on the film's surface. The atomic ratio of the elements was determined via the X-ray photoemission spectrum technique. There were no substantial changes in the vibration structure of the film upon doping in terms of the Raman spectra. The optical band gap of ZnO (3.28 eV) decreased with B doping. The band gap of the ZnO:B film varied between 3.18 and 3.22 eV. The activation energy of the ZnO was calculated as 0.051 eV, whereas that of the ZnO:B film containing 1.0% B was calculated as 0.013 eV at low temperatures (273-348 K), versus 0.072 eV and 0.183 eV at high temperatures (348-523 K), respectively. Consequently, it can be interpreted that the 1% B-doped ZnO, which has the lowest activation energy at both low and high temperatures, may find some application areas such as in sensors for gases and in solar cells.

Households to pay $1 more for sewage
LISBON — The 2,100 households hooked into Columbiana County’s sewage system will begin paying a dollar more per month to cover rising administrative fees.
County commissioners on Wednesday approved the increase requested by the county’s water and sewer department, which is part of the county engineer’s office. Troy Graft, chief deputy county sanitary engineer, said the extra $2,100 per month is needed to keep pace with the extra paperwork required by the state and federal regulators.
“There’s just been a lot of administrative paperwork — reports, permit renewals — and it’s ongoing. There’s just a lot more clerical work involved in operating sewer plants,” he said.
The county provides sewer services to 2,100 customers in Guilford Lake, Winona, Kensington and portions of Center, Liverpool, St. Clair and Yellow Creek townships. The increase is not expected to begin showing up in bills for a month or so.
Commissioners also approved imposing penalties for those delinquent on their sewer bills, with the fee attached to their property tax bills.
The delinquency rate was about 17 percent the last time Graft checked, but he said the bigger problems are those customers who choose not to pay their bills in a timely manner because there is no late penalty.
“There are some who simply chose not to pay except once a year,” he said, adding this negatively impacts the sewer department’s monthly cash flow.
Under the new policy, any delinquencies of a $1,000 or less will be assessed a $50 penalty. The penalty will be $100 for any delinquencies in excess of $1,000.
Graft said they recently began accepting credit cards, “and we’re thinking it my help.”
In other action at the meeting, commissioners:
— Reappointed Vicki Hall to the county Revolving Loan Fund board.
— Gave Mike and Christine Ecrement permission to hunt on county property off County Home Road in Center Township.
Commissioner Tim Weigle reminded the public following last Sunday’s storms there is a way to be alerted in advance on their cellphone when a bad storm system is heading in their direction. He said anyone interested in receiving the group alerts can contact the county Emergency Management Agency.

An enzyme that turns air into energy has been discovered by Australian researchers. The finding, which came out today in the journal Nature, shows that this enzyme uses a small amount of hydrogen in the atmosphere to generate an electric current. This discovery makes it possible to design electronics that effectively generate electricity out of thin air.
Researchers from the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Centre in Melbourne, Australia, lead by Dr. Rhys Grinter, PhD student Ashleigh Kropp, and Professor Chris Greening, cloned and characterized an enzyme from a common soil bacteria that consumes hydrogen.
In nutrient-poor settings, many bacteria utilize atmospheric hydrogen for energy.
“We’ve known for some time that bacteria can use the trace hydrogen in the air as a source of energy to help them grow and survive, including in Antarctic soils, volcanic craters, and the deep ocean” adds Professor Greening. “But we didn’t know how they did this, until now.”
In this study published in Nature, scientists isolated an enzyme from Mycobacterium smegmatis that allows the bacteria to use hydrogen from the air. They demonstrated how the Huc enzyme converts hydrogen gas into an electrical current.
Dr. Grinter remarks “Huc is extraordinarily efficient. Unlike all other known enzymes and chemical catalysts, it even consumes hydrogen below atmospheric levels – as little as 0.00005% of the air we breathe.”
Researchers used a number of cutting-edge techniques to figure out the molecular blueprint of hydrogen oxidation in the atmosphere. They used advanced microscopy (cryo-EM) to figure out its atomic structure and electrical pathways. By pushing the limits of this method, they were able to get the most detailed structure of an enzyme ever reported using this technique. They also used a method called “electrochemistry” to show that the purified enzyme makes electricity when there is a very small amount of hydrogen present.
Ms. Kropp has shown in the lab that pure Huc may be kept for extended periods of time.
“It is astonishingly stable. It is possible to freeze the enzyme or heat it to 80 degrees celsius, and it retains its power to generate energy,” Ms. Kropp adds. “This reflects that this enzyme helps bacteria to survive in the most extreme environments.”
Huc is a “natural battery” that uses air or hydrogen to generate a steady electrical current. While still in its infancy, this study’s discovery of Huc has great promise for the advancement of tiny air-powered gadgets, which might serve as an alternative to solar-powered electronics.
Bacteria that make enzymes like Huc are common and can be grown in large numbers, so we have a steady supply of the enzyme. Scaling up the production of Huc is a critical goal for future research, according to Dr. Grinter.
“Once we produce Huc in sufficient quantities, the sky is quite literally the limit for using it to produce clean energy.”


No one came close to matching Tiger Woods on the PGA Tour, which is becoming as predictable as Woods being voted the PGA Tour player of the year.
With seven victories and another major championship, Woods won the award yesterday for the third straight season and the ninth time in his 11 years as a pro.
Jay Haas was voted Champions Tour player of the year, and Nick Flanagan won the Nationwide award. The other PGA Tour awards went to Steve Stricker, the first player to win comeback player of the year in consecutive seasons, and Brandt Snedeker, who won the rookie of the year. *

About Sunset Kayaking
On this Florida eco-tour we take you out on the Indian River Lagoon to see a Federally protected Rookery on Mullet Head Island in the Merritt IslandNational Wildlife Refuge. Our tour will launch from Haulover Canal in Titusville about an hour before susnet. Take an early evening sunset kayak trip with us to see nature untouched. Depending on the direction of the wind, you can hear the birds grunting from the launch site.
We will see a variety of birds on this tour such as Anhinga, Heron, Egrets, Ibis, White, Brown, and Common Pelicans, Falcons, and the very beautiful Roseate Spoonbill. While paddling to the Island it is not uncommon to also see other wildlife such as the Florida Bottlenose Dolphin breeching the surface of the water while chasing baitfish, Manatee swimming to where they will rest for the evening, Alligators heading out to find the unsuspecting mammal at the waters edge and Sharks running the flats in search of food.
We will try and time our tour to coincide with the setting sun and have the Rookery as the backdrop, so this is the perfect opportunity for a picture of your group. Our guides can assist you with the “snapping” of the picture so that no one in your group is left out of the photo.
We will spend a leisurely 120 mins on the water for this tour.
The Bioluminescence water comes to life at night with a magical glow everywhere it is touched by your hand, paddle, kayak, a mullet jumping, fish swimming, or even the waves lapping gently. If scooped into your hand the water will sparkle as you hold it and as it runs down your arm. Many people compare this phenomenon with being in the movie Avatar. This phenomenon is made possible by naturally occurring dinoflagellate plankton that light up the water of the river. They can be observed in these waters May through October with sightings as late as January, but are brightest during the peak season of June through October. On our 11 pm tour option, we will see the Milky Way Galaxy with our naked eyes as we paddle into our own personal observatory on the water at Grannys Cove.
You will be hard-pressed to find anything that will top this experience while you are in our great state of Florida!
No two adventures will be the same as nature is constantly on the move. No cheesy rehearsed scripts here just guides well versed in their environment.
****NOTE: During the full moon phases bioluminescence algae does not appear as brightly as during a New Moon ****

Expressive with technological features, the all new Volkswagen Touareg Elegance and its top of the line variant, the Touareg R-Line stunned guests during an exclusive viewing last weekend.
The private launch which took place at the Maju Motors showroom, saw 200 guests eyeing the third generation of the best-selling Touareg.
First introduced 17 years ago, the car was named after a nomadic desert tribe: the Tuareg people from the Saharan interior in North Africa who are known to embody the ideal of man’s ability to triumph over the obstacles of a harsh land.
“The Touareg along with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7 were designed together with the goal of creating an off-road vehicle that could handle like a sports car,” said Maju Motors head of marketing, Pg Ammirul Ammar Pg Adnan in his welcoming speech.
“And today, we will be introducing the all-new version of the Touareg which will change the way luxury SUVs will be portrayed in the country.”
“(It is) packed with features that are beyond the future. Luxurious fittings shared by many other super luxury brands,” he added.
The third generation has evolved bringing greater efficiency to its well-earned reputation for its design, comfort and performance.
Giving an overview of the car, Maju Motors Executive Director, Aziz Hasnan said that compared to the previous model, the latest Touareg is moderately wider, longer and lower.
“Thanks to the new platform shared among other Volkswagen Group luxury SUVs, the new Touareg has increased in size but dropped in weight. Its proportion is now a lot more easier on the eye.”
In terms of styling, both models caught the guests’ attention with its fresh new design.
Accentuating the Touareg’s already dynamic presence and chiseled surface, are strong, horizontal lines that gives the exterior design even more character.
The car’s front chromed solid grille integrates seamlessly into the headlights giving the SUV a masculine and sportier upgrade.
Furthermore, guests had a sneak peek into the luxurious and commodious interior of the five-seater.
Most of the changes are found inside the luxury SUV: the analogue displays are replaced with a state-of-the-art digitised “Innovision Cockpit” complete with entertainment, communication and navigation needs.
The impressive and minimally designed 12.3-inch digital cockpit display and a 15-inch infotainment screen is built on a highly intuitive system allowing drivers to customise it to suit their needs and preferences.
The cockpit is paired with the Dynaudio Consequences sound system that produces crystal clear audio – so get ready to connect your devices via Bluetooth, USB or Aux input.
Furthermore, the infotainment system has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in for users to connect their phone and get going!
As expected from a luxury SUV, the Touareg impresses with its high level of craftsmanship and high-grade choice of materials together with a wealth of technological features.
Inside the spacious cabin, lights in the front foot-well, door sill protectors, light strips below the trim of the doors and dashboard can be adjusted with up to 30 different shades to set the right tone for the journey.
Typical of a family SUV, the Touareg ensures comfort, plenty of head and legroom and all-around visibility no matter where you sit.
When it comes to performance, the SUV is powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 TSI engine that can output an impressive 335bhp and 450Nm through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Moreover, the Volkswagen prioritises safety with a strong history in innovative safety features that carries through to the latest models.
The Touareg Elegance and the Touareg R-Line feature an array of safety components that includes predictive pedestrian monitoring, adaptive lane guidance, park assist, traffic jam assist and emergency assist.
Overall, the Volkswagen Touareg is an excellent choice if you are looking for a safe, tech-packed, family-friendly SUV that offers luxurious styling and great driving dynamics.

The third quarter marked a change in attitude.
So far, 2022 has been a tough year for investing. We’ve experienced an unusual phenomenon – the simultaneous decline of stock and bond markets. Throughout the third quarter, investors’ concerns focused on global instability, rising prices and the possibility that central bank efforts to tame inflation would cause economic growth to falter. The result has been tremendous volatility in stock and bond markets.
Early in the third quarter, U.S. stock markets gained ground as investors latched onto the idea that inflation had peaked, and the Federal Reserve would soon moderate the pace of rate hikes. Following the release of July’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), Carleton English of Barron’s reported:
“Wall Street got a dose of good news this week. It also got a little ahead of itself. Inflation slowed in July, according to Department of Labor data released on Wednesday…It makes sense that investors would celebrate the easing of prices. But it may be too early to pop the Champagne – inflation standing at 8.5% is still a long way from the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, and the Fed is likely to continue tightening until it is under control.”
U.S. stock markets trended higher through mid-August when Fed Chair Jerome Powell made it clear the Fed did not share investors’ optimistic inflation outlook. It still viewed inflation as a threat and planned to continue to raise rates aggressively into 2023.
Other central banks concurred. Last week, Katie Martin of Financial Times reported, “In an extraordinary sweep, central banks from the U.S. to Switzerland embarked on what looked like competitive policy tightening…10 central banks delivered a massive combined total of 6 percentage points of rate rises just this week. Several rises, including the latest from the U.S., were of some 0.75 percentage points, three times the usual scale of rate moves.”
Aggressive central bank tightening caused investors to reassess their expectations. The result was a market sell off. “In the month since Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell laid down a hard line on inflation, stocks have suffered double-digit losses, chasms have opened in global currency markets, and yields on the safest U.S. government debt have surged to their highest levels since the dark days of the financial crisis nearly a decade and a half ago,” reported Howard Schneider of Reuters.
There is a concept in financial markets known as capitulation. It occurs when fear takes hold. Investors abandon hope that the stock market will deliver positive returns and they sell. Capitulation often is a sign the market has bottomed, reported Nicholas Jasinski and Jacob Sonenshine of Barron’s. In recent weeks, investors have been selling, but some say the market has not yet reached capitulation.
If you’re tempted to sell, think carefully. The wiser course may be to stay invested. A recession is at least partly priced into current U.S. stock prices. In addition, the strength of the dollar will help the Fed’s effort to bring inflation down, reported Financial Times.
It’s important to remember that stock markets are leading indicators. They reflect what investors anticipate will happen in the future. As a result, the market often bottoms during a recession and begins to rise before the recession ends, reported Sergei Klebnikov of Forbes.

THE WEEKLY WRAP-UP. It was a tumultuous week. In the United States, Hurricane Ian pummeled Florida and South Carolina. Analysts estimate the destruction in Florida will cost U.S. insurance companies about $63 billion, although the cost of recovery will be much higher. “The total economic damage will be well over $100 billion, including uninsured properties, damage to infrastructure, and other cleanup and recovery costs,” according to a source cited by Max Reyes of Bloomberg.
In the United Kingdom, fiscal and monetary policies collided last week. Britain’s new government plans to encourage economic growth with a stimulus package to offset energy costs and big unfunded tax cuts. The government’s fiscal stimulus plan could spark at the same time Britain’s central bank is trying to tamp inflation down. Investors showed their disapproval by selling U.K. government bonds, which are known as gilts. As yields surged, gilts rapidly lost value, imperiling the nation’s pension funds. The Bank of England staged an emergency intervention, calming bond markets by promising to continue its bond purchases, reported Brian Swint of Barron’s.
Inflation continued to be a concern around the globe. In the U.S., the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index was released last week. It showed prices rose 6.2 percent year-over-year in August. In the 19-member Eurozone, inflation was up 10 percent in September, largely because energy prices are up more than 40 percent year-over-year, reported Elliot Smith of CNBC. In Argentina, the central bank lifted its benchmark rate for the ninth time – to 75 percent – in an effort to tame inflation.
The war in Ukraine continued to affect food and energy supplies, driving prices higher. The agreement between Russia and Ukraine that allowed some grain exports to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa in July and August appears to be in jeopardy. Russia is reconsidering the agreement, and has threatened to reject it, which could exacerbate food insecurity in some countries and drive food prices higher.
On Friday, major U.S. stock indices were in bear territory, closing at 52-week lows, reported Ben Levisohn of Barron’s. The yield on benchmark U.S. Treasury notes rose to a 14-year high before falling back a bit to finish the week at 3.8 percent.

Outdoor garden furniture needs so that you can stand up to constant exposure to sun, rain and wind. Often, the material from the furniture is a big element in its durability. Wooden for example teak is a well-liked option since it is long-lasting and resistant to sunlight, dampness, insects and decay, not to mention weathering gives it a silvery patina over time. Wrought metal is fantastic for windy locations simply because the weight anchors it nicely outdoors. Light weight aluminum is a great option as well, because it is resistant against rust and corrosion.
Like durability, style is basically influenced by material. Wooden and other plant materials for example stick, wickerwork and bamboo bedding function excellent in landscaped landscapes as they normally blend in with the natural environment outside. Wrought iron benches with intricate styles inspire the classic French design and are perfect for comfortable, romantic places. More sophisticated designs made from light weight aluminum or plastic material look great for contemporary spaces that rouse a unique, eclectic feel.
Even little details and extra accessories such as toss cushions, scarves and chair or lounge addresses can make or break the look of your outside spaces.

Flamel Technologies Announces FDA Approval of Bloxiverz
06/03/2013 — Flamel Technologies today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for Bloxiverz (neostigmine methylsulfate), a drug used intravenously in the operating room for the reversal of the effects of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery.

Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Brownie Mix - Fat Free sounds like a great idea, right?!
130 calories, 26g carbohydrate, even 3g of protein!
Even the option to make a single serving in the microwave?
Yes, yes, yes?!
Oh no, no, no.
First, try stirring and mixing one carton of yogurt (Kroger Lite Vanilla) into the mix - not funsies at all. I think I must have inhaled a serving. Bake and slice and look at the result. Bravely taste.
|Yeah, it didn't taste much better...|
I'm sticking with baking from scratch or using Costco's Ghirardelli and/or Wegmans brownie mixes.

Today, the Kats will be able to put everything they've been working on into practice as the offense and defense will square off for the first scrimmage, which will have approximately 100 plays, of camp.
"We're just putting in our offense and defense and kicking game, evaluating who's playing," Sam Houston football head coach Willie Fritz said Thursday afternoon. "We're also trying some new things that we've learned over the summer to see if they fit in to what we already do."
In today's planned workout, complete with referees to officiate, the Bearkats offense and defense will go head to head in order to best gauge the work done so far and where the players need to concentrate over the next three weeks before the season opener on Sept. 8 against Incarnate Word at Bowers Stadium.
With a few new coaches (offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Doug Ruse, wide receivers coach Matt Barrett and offensive line coach Bart Tatum), the Bearkats offense has been taking it a step at a time, learning new plays back in the spring, adjusting to a faster tempo that is aimed at quicker snaps and throwing the opposing defense off-balance and throwing the ball with some more effectiveness.
In today's scrimmage, the Kats will be able to give their offense a test-drive against the defense, which was one of the best units in the Football Championship Subdivision last season, and looks to become even more dominant this fall.
While the offense is having its turn at seeing how it can move the ball up the field, the defense is looking to be able to stop the potent running attack and thwart the efforts of the new-look passing attack.
With nearly every starter back on defense, the Kats have been busy installing new blitzes in their scheme to try and give opposing offenses a different look in order to accomplish the same goal of wreaking havoc in the backfield.
"We're going to scrimmage on Saturday and after that Saturday, we're going to start zeroing in on the guys who are going to be doing the playing and do more team-type drills, rather than individual and technique drills," Fritz said. "The first 10 to 12 practices are geared to be toward individual, then you've got to start preparing your team for 11-on-11 football."
Today's scrimmage is set to start at 8:15 a.m. and last approximately two hours.

Global stone heritage: Larvikite, Norway
Tom Heldal, G. B. Meyer, R. Dahl, 2015. "Global stone heritage: Larvikite, Norway", Global Heritage Stone: Towards International Recognition of Building and Ornamental Stones, D. Pereira, B. R. Marker, S. Kramar, B. J. Cooper, B. E. Schouenborg
Download citation file:
Larvikite is a peculiar and unique monzonitic rock originating in the Carboniferous–Permian Oslo Rift, SE Norway. The blue iridescence in the feldspar crystals made the rock particularly attractive as ornamental stone, and since the start of industrial scaled production in 1884, the use of larvikite has reached every corner of the global community. With resources for hundreds of years, the region will produce larvikite blocks far into the future. The production of larvikite has changed significantly during the last decades, towards more sustainable production finding new applications and markets for excess rock in the quarries. The significance of larvikite in the global market has also created a wider appreciation of the rock in the Norwegian society, acknowledging the rich history of larvikite production and use.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1978, comedian, actor, writer, and producer Kevin Hart has grown up using his sharp wit and brazen sense of humor to keep people laughing. Growing up in a single parent household with his drug addicted father making appearances throughout his life, Hart claims to have developed his sense of humor as a coping mechanism. Over the years he developed his self deprecatingly sense of humor, sharing stories about his life and turning them into comedic gold. After a rough start, the comedian hit his stride and found a way to share his intimate insecurities and life experiences in a comedic way that had people rolling off their seats with laugher. In 2002, Hart made both his television and film debut, both of which were well received and added to his fame. By 2009 Hart was embarking on comedy tours, his first being the aptly titled I'm a Grown Little Man in reference to his short stature. 2010's Laugh At My Pain was the top-selling comedy tour of the year, and since then the tours have kept coming. In 2015 Hart remains an active member of the comedy circuit. He has starred in two feature films and has also displayed his comedic wit as a host on Saturday Night Live and and the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. Hart has received a slew of accolades including two NAACP awards as Entertainer of the Year and Best Actor In a Comedy Series in 2014. Between 2013 and 2015 he has also received the title of MVP in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. Not a bad accomplishment for the self proclaimed "grown little man." Get the best seats in the house via Gold Coast Tickets and spend an evening laughing alongside Kevin Hart.
