Federal money tough to pin downJuly 23,2013By PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau
MONTPELIER — Economists for the state can forecast with surprising accuracy the tax revenues expected to flow into the treasury over the next fiscal year.
But predicting one of the largest sources of funds to Vermont's $5.2 billion budget — federal revenues — has proven a more difficult task. And despite a recent analysis done by experts for the Legislature, pinning down the federal funds on which the state so heavily relies is still something of a guessing game.
"There are just so many unknowns at this point," said Steve Klein, chief fiscal officer at the Legislature's Joint Fiscal Office.
"And there are a lot of political choices that are going to get made that are totally outside our control."
Official state revenue forecasts, the most recent of which arrived Tuesday, are historically reliable, deviating by only about 2 percent on average over actual revenues. That record of success gives lawmakers a high degree of confidence in the $1.56 billion in general fund revenues forecast to flow into Montpelier over the next 12 months.
Getting similarly reliable estimates for money flowing from the federal government is more difficult. But Klein said one thing is clear: risk for Vermont is to the downside.
In a report titled "Federal Funds — Reductions Today and Tomorrow," Klein surveyed the federal landscape in an attempt to divine how decisions in Washington, D.C., will affect Vermont. From health care and transportation to grants that support human services, Klein said Tuesday that federal funds coming into Vermont will likely shrink in the coming years.
"And one area where that could be extremely noticeable is in transportation," Klein said.
The reauthorization of the five-year federal transportation bill will likely overhaul a state-by-state allocation formula that has until now been favorable for the state. Vermont gets $2.85 cents from the feds for every $1 in gas tax it sends to the federal treasury, a ratio Klein said he expects will narrow in the next five-year bill.
Projected declines in federal discretionary spending, according to Klein, also imperil some of the federal dollars coming into
Vermont. Non-defense discretionary spending supports everything from assistance for low-income populations and energy investments to public safety grants and environmental protection.
As a share of gross domestic product, according to Klein's report, non-defense discretionary spending is expected to drop by a third over the next 10 years, from 8.3 percent to 5.5 percent.
The reductions will come at a time when Vermont is more reliant on federal funding than at anytime in recent memory; federal funds now account for 46 percent of Vermont's non-education budget.

Girl Scout troop leaders are experts at entertaining packs of kids. We reached out to Girl Scout volunteers across the nation, asking for their best group activities. A flood of inspiring stories and ingenious ideas came in from hundreds of troops. Here's one of our favorites.
TROOP: Cadet Girl Scout Troop 1486
HOMETOWN: Kirkwood, Missouri
LEADER: Becky Jones
What They Did: As part of the troop's first backyard camping trip, Becky had the girls play this hula hoop game.
Why They Love This Idea: It's a great, goofy, get-active game that challenges kids' collective brain power. "The girls discovered that they needed to work together and think through the problem, with everyone giving their input," says Becky. "It was their favorite part of the camping trip, and they asked to try it again and again!"
Ask the kids to stand in a big circle, slip a hula hoop onto one child's arm, and have them all join hands.
They then must find a way to move the hula hoop all the way around the circle without letting go of each other's hands.
This game is a part of these parties:

Opportunity knocks but the door stays shut

Blaine had opportunities to overcome a tough inning pitching by Todd Bird and earn a sweep of their season series with Burlington-Edison, but once again, the specter of base running errors and two innings with the bases left loaded spelled out a 6-4 loss to the Tigers.
Nathan Trueblood came on in relief of Bird in the top of the third, with Blaine down 4-0. He gave up three hits and two runs to push the Burlington-Edison lead to six. Blaine got back into the game by scoring four in the bottom of the inning.
Andrew Miller led off the inning with a double. After Dustin Dhanani reached base on one of five Tiger errors, Kyle Olason walked to load the bases for Blaine for the third time in the game. Cody Nagle plated two runs with a slicing double down the line. Bird was hit with a pitch and Parker Wallace scored Olason with a ground out.
The rally began to unravel when next batter Tanner Weaver hit an RBI single to make it 6-4. On the play, Bird attempted to score from second and was easily thrown out at the plate. Dillon Alexander ground out to end the inning.
Bird endured a long third inning that had a little of everything. With a man on, Burlington-Edison's Dylan Boe crushed a 3-1 pitch over straight away centerfield for a two run homer.
A walk, a passed ball, a single and a wild pitch accounted for the two other runs for the Tigers.
The loss left Blaine in the middle of the pack in the Northwest Conference at 5-6 (4-4 NWC 2A).
Ferndale wins on late, controversial call
Joel Garza saw the play unfolding before him and knew he had a play. Logan Locker stroked a base hit into left field off Blaine starter Dillon Alexander and Golden Eagles base runner Brandon Maarhuis was waved in from second. Garza fired a seed to Dustin Dhanani at short and relayed to Parker Wallace at the plate who applied the tag simultaneously with Maarhuis' arrival.
The umpire called Maarhuis safe and the run, with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, proved to be decisive as the Golden Eagles rallied to beat Blaine 5-4 at Ferndale, April 15. Coach Gary Clausen disputed the call to no avail.
Once again, however, the Borderites couldn't savor the smell of success early. Blaine got out to a 4-1 lead after Kyle Olason jacked three-run homer to left-center, his third of the season. Alexander had trouble containing Ferndale afterwards, as he surrendered 11 hits. Blaine hitters did not come to his aid, once again, only mustering five hits in the game.
Olason suffers through tough inning as Sehome rolls
Blaine ace Kyle Olason had to wonder what else could possibly happen in a half of an inning. After having two outs with one on in the top of the first inning, Olason endured a stolen base, a balk, a walk, a two-run triple, an RBI bloop single, a hit batsman, an error, a second walk that scored a run, a two-run single and a second stolen base.
The result was a 6-0 lead that the Borderites couldn't surmount as conference leader Sehome hammered Blaine 10-4 April 19 at Pipeline Fields.
The Borderites closed to 6-3 in the bottom of the inning, but the Mariners added a run in each of the next three innings to put the game out of reach.
Parker Wallace and Dustin Dhanani each went 3-4 as Blaine outhit Sehome 9-8.

Tide rolls Oklahoma State despite playing without star
Birmingham, AL, United States (AHN Sports) – Trevor Releford and the rest of his Crimson Tide teammates didn't miss their star Wednesday night.
Releford scored 19 points as Alabama jumped out early and defeated Oklahoma State, 69-52, in a game played in Birmingham.
Le'Bryan Nash had 17 points and J.P. Olukemi had 12 for the Cowboys (6-5), who shot just 32.7 percent in losing their third straight.
Alabama (9-3) was playing without SEC first-team forward and leading scorer JaMychal Green, who was out with a shoulder injury. The senior was averaging 15.9 points on 56 percent shooting and 7.0 rebounds.
But Releford took over, shooting 7 of 10 and added six rebounds, four steals and three assists. Tony Mitchell scored 11 of his 16 in the first 10 minutes and added 11 rebounds and four blocks.
The win was a much-needed effort for Alabama, which was ranked as high as No. 12 by winning its first seven games before losing three of its last four to fall out of the rankings.
The Tide was coming off a 71-58 loss to another Big-12 foe, Kansas State, Saturday, but got off to a fast start in this contest without Green. They scored 16 of the first 18 points, pushed the edge to 33-14 with seven minutes left and led 40-22 at the break.
The Cowboys cut into the lead in the second half, pulling within 56-47 with 5:40 left on a 3-pointer by Cezar Guerrero, but the Tide pulled away.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - An informational public meeting about a possible solution to help the Green Bay area's homeless, turned into a discussion about Mayor Jim Schmitt's idea for an outside group to take over operations and management of the downtown St. John's emergency homeless shelter.
"This sure looks like a sandbagging operation to close St. John's," said St. John's volunteer Pat Lane.
The Protection and Welfare Committee was hearing from the city's homeless task force and their recommendation to start a day time resource center for homeless residents. It would be run by Lutheran Social Services.
At the meeting, Schmitt unveiled his desire to see Freedom Life Skills take over the facility and to operate the site.
Schmitt has long felt that the St. John's homeless shelter doesn't adequately support homeless residents by helping them get back on their feet.
Freedom Life Skills President Gray LaFave says "we have to have a program and an opportunity to bring homeless people into a program that's not necessarily a shelter."
The organization would offer tuition based programming that would be 24-7 year round at the facility.
There have been growing issues expressed by police about homeless residents during the daytime hours.
St. Johns homeless shelter is open for six months out of the year to provide shelter from the winter elements.
St. John's Executive Director Alexia Wood says there are numerous reasons why they don't operate 24-7 year round, mainly because of finances and inadequate facilities.
St. John's relies heavily on volunteers, and operates on a roughly $400,000 annual budget.
Wood says they met with Freedom Life Skills a couple weeks ago in the spirit of collaboration but were blindsided with "renovations plans to come in and take over the building."

Super Bowl Sunday — once considered a night with a high number of drunken drivers on the road — has become much like any other night, according to local police officials.
The era of Super Bowl parties and the accompanying imbibing for many years prompted police to put out extra patrols to look specifically for drunken drivers.
While some local police officers will take part in special patrols, most officials say the number of arrests on the evening of the Super Bowl isn't what it used to be.
Valparaiso police Sgt. Mike Grennes, who leads the Porter County Drunk Driving Task Force, said every department in Porter County will have officers on the road on special patrols paid by various grants.
But the number of arrests on Super Bowl Sunday has been declining.
"I hope it's because the media attention and the education we've been doing," Grennes said. "And there's the fear of arrest. But we hope our message is getting out to the public."
Whiting Police Chief Stephen Miller said the city typically doesn't have any issues on Super Bowl Sunday. He said police officers will make periodic passes at taverns, but no extra patrols will be assigned.
"It's a pretty quiet night," Miller said. "I don't recall anything happening since I've been here."
Hammond Police Chief Brian Miller said the department has increased patrols for sporting events in the past if the team is local. For example, more patrols were needed when the Chicago Blackhawks played for the Stanley Cup.
"There have been times because the team is from Chicago we seem to have quite a bit more (incidents)," he said. "Since both teams are out of state, we don't anticipate a lot of problems."
Lansing police are not planning added patrols for Super Bowl Sunday. Neither are police in Lowell.
"It's pretty quiet down here (on Super Bowl Sunday)," Lowell Police Chief John Shelhart said. "People go to friends' houses. There's not a lot of bar traffic. We're praying it's the same this year."
Schererville Police Chief David Dowling compared the Super Bowl to holidays. He understands more people will either go out or host gatherings. He said the department will have higher staffing levels on that day, but he didn't have any areas of concern.
Merrillville Police Chief Joseph Petruch said he suggests people to limit the amount of alcohol they drink. Grennes suggested those who attend parties should make plans to get home safely before they go to the party — not after they start drinking.
In Calumet City, police are conducting a roadside safety check on for drunken drivers and seat-belt-law violators.
"We are reminding everyone that if you choose to drink and drive in Calumet City this weekend, you will lose," said Chief Edward Gilmore in a prepared statement.
Some tips from Gilmore include:Call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely
- Report drunken drivers to law enforcement
- Spend the night where the activity is being held and sleep it off
- Always wear your seat belt — it's the best defense against a drunken driver

I heart Margot Tenenbaum.
Margot Tenenbaum is my favourite Gwyneth Paltrow role. She sports a side part bob, lashings of eyeliner, Lacoste with fur & a part missing finger. She is moody, sulky & mysterious. What is not to like? I feel that this is a good look for the Summer, not the finger bit. Also not the fur either. Ok just the eyeliner & side part. This is an illustration by Stanley Chow. Watch The Royal Tenenbaums again, you know you want to.

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun doesn't think he can ever stop apologizing, though he's also ready for a new chapter in his baseball career.
It's been a unique offseason for Braun, the 2011 NL MVP trying to make amends with fans and teammates following his 65-game suspension last year for violating Major League Baseball's anti-drug agreement.
Braun was making his first major public appearance Sunday at a team offseason fan event since his suspension last year. He said that he's trying to move forward while continuing to be apologetic.
It's been an offseason of change. Braun got married. He's also preparing a move from left to right field, a switch he says he's welcoming.
Braun says he's reached out to every Brewers suite holder and many season ticket holders.

Creating Change 2003 Set for November in Beautiful Miami Beach
Dear Creating Change Supporter,
The planning of the Sixteenth Annual Creating Change Conference is well underway!
You won't want to miss the first-ever Creating Change Conference in beautiful, warm South Florida. We gather November 5-9, 2003 in tropical, sun-soaked, art-decoed Miami Beach. If you live in a northern clime, you know that November means the snow will fly and the temperature will drop in short order, so Creating Change is an excellent political reason to postpone the onset of winter.
We've selected a fabulous hotel for this year's must-attend gathering of activists and organizers in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender political movement. The Radisson Deauville, situated right on the white sands of Miami Beach, is perfectly suited for our event: ample and unique meeting rooms for workshops and trainings, a spacious and beautiful ballroom for plenary sessions, plenty of space for exhibit tables and vendors, and a very large deck, swimming pool and outdoor hot tub for our leisure time, not to mention the Atlantic Ocean just steps away from swimming pool area.
Home to a vibrant, proud and diverse GLBT community, South Florida can boast community institutions like SAVE Dade, the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Pridelines, Inc., the Bisexual Foundation, the Gay and Lesbian Foundation of South Florida, Unity Coalition, strong party-affiliated political clubs, countless cultural and arts organizations, and thriving GLBT community centers like the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Ft. Lauderdale. Leading our struggle for equality across Florida is the statewide group Equality Florida.
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, NGLTF remains committed to addressing the impact of racism in this country, in our movement and in our organization. The primary educational goal of Creating Change is to build an anti-racist GLBT movement that includes and reflects the perspectives, needs and priorities of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender activists of all ages, races, ethnic and language origins, spiritualities and incomes.
The 2003 Creating Change Conference launches a new programmatic feature: the Skills Academy for Leadership and Action. We have listened to your requests for more rigorous political education at Creating Change and responded with a full day of training sessions, strategy sessions and activist improvement classes. Better skills, more coordinated strategies, activist make-overs...woo hoo!

See you at the Deauville in November!
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South mother is fighting for justice for her son.
"September 24 of 2012, last year, my son was killed on this block by an off-duty police officer, which it was the worst day of my life," said mother Shirley Thompson.
Thompson was shattered when her 15-year-old son Justin was reportedly shot on Wooddale Avenue by former Memphis Police Officer Terrance Shaw.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Shelby County District Attorney cleared Officer Terrance Shaw saying they found no evidence to refute Shaw's story.
Shaw told police he met Justin a month before. He claimed he saw Justin begging for money outside a convenience store and thought he was homeless. Shaw claimed he was trying to help Justin, who was killed just yards away from home.
"To me what happened, I think, that officer was trying to get my son to do something that he didn't want to do, and that's when he killed my son," said Thompson.
Attorney Mark Renken is fighting on behalf of Shirley Thompson. He says Shaw and Justin had an inappropriate relationship.
"Mrs. Thompson wants answers, and she wants justice for her son. That's what we're trying to create. That's what we're trying to find," said Renken. "When you have a professional man in his late 20s texting a 15-year-old child and agreeing to meet .... With mom not having any idea that this person exists ... or what's going on ... That is very suspicious from the beginning, and then it ended so tragically."
Renken says there is no evidence of Justin having a weapon of any kind the night he was shot and killed.
He says the TBI records are sealed, and they are not getting any information about the case. Action News 5 tried contacting Memphis police as well as Terrance Shaw, but have not received a response.
Thompson says Justin was a smart child and he took care of her as she battled colon cancer. But just like she's fighting for her life, Thompson says she's going to keep fighting until she finds out what happened to her son.
"I want closure, and that's the only way I can get into them files is to find out what happened to my son is through a lawsuit," she said.

A toolkit for packages
Debian Goodies
The Debian Goodies collection offers a variety of time-tested scripts to help you manage Debian packages.
If you use a Debian-based system, you soon learn to install or remove packages with
dpkg. But, how do you access packages while they are on your system? One of Debian's answers to this question is Debian Goodies [1], a collection of scripts for administering
.deb packages that is available on most Debian-based systems, including Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
The commands bundled in the Debian Goodies collection are small scripts, with such limited options and general purposes that none of them seem to deserve to be in a separate package. Over the past 14 years or so, each script has found its way into Debian Goodies, making it a collection of tools that ranges from small features for tracking broken packages or extracting copyright information to tools intended mainly for Debian developers fixing bugs in preparation for a release.
The scripts of Debian Goodies are not the only package-related tools on a Debian-based system. Except perhaps for their size, packages like
apt-mirror, and a couple of dozen others could easily fit into the collection. However, the commands packaged under Debian Goodies have one overwhelming advantage – you only need to remember a single name to have access to a variety of tools.

I was wondering if any one could give me any advice, my husband is a insulin dependant diabetic and is been off work with mental health problems for 2 and half years now. He has put in for ill health retirement and been refused twice even though his consultant, family doctor and various other medical professionals have supported him. He was admitted into a physiciatrict hospital after an insulin overdose in January and he is currently in hospital with his diabetes. His firm which is a big organisation sent us for a secong opinion I had a copy of the report and the company did, these reports slightly differ.and the consultant could not confirm whether my husband will be able to work or not.
I have requested my husbands medical reports from the companies occupational health which I have recieved but unfortunately they are all not there. All i recieved was a letter off the mental health consultant to the worksdr supporting him on ill retirement dated 27.09.2010, a letter off the works Dr to the pension trustees dated 9.11.2010, Aletter to the works dr off Dr family doctor dated sep 2009,a letter off family doctor supporting my husband with ill health dated 26 may 2010,. and lastly a e mail off the personnel dept to the works dr l dated 1.6.2010 asking for a copy of thesecond opinion report from Dudley as it had been destroyed by the pensions guy in the company ( i think i recieved this by mistake). I also am aware that there have been other reports sent regarding my husband, one off his cpn that I handed in personally, one off the DWP , and one off ( diabetic nurse). Looking at what reports I have recieved my husband has had alot of support not only off his consultant, but off various other people, who see my husband on a reguler basis, but has still been turned down. I personally think that the works dr will never support my husband, no matter how many medical reports we have. .
Also back in April i emailed you to ask why the works dr l hadn,t requested reports off my husbands diabetic consultant, and was told that they would getthe works dr to answer my request, but unfortunately i haven,t heard anything yet.
After my husband had been turned down for ihr even though his consultant supported him. His consultant decided to get a second opinion and he has also supported my husband, ( which I have a copy off). I thought i would see the outcome of my husbands hospital stay before sending it in.
even though my husband is currently off sick i thought he was to be informed of everything that is going on within the company. It has come to our attention the company opened a window for early release again.
I have sent an e mail to the company telling them of these grievances and am awaiting their reply.
Originally my husband had the union supporting him but apparently the union guy was set to retire and the company have enhanced his package to stay on a bit longer so he doesn,t want to rock the boat, so basically i am fighting our corner against this big company.
Lastly back in 2009 when my hudsband was 50 the company were also then at the time offering early release to their workers and sent a letter out to everyone with a enhanced package, this would have been great for us as my husband could have started drawing his pension because then the pension age was 50. We did not recieve this letter a year later and so he couldn,t draw his pension because it was changed to 55. I complained the company and they called us in and apologised and said it was human error but couldn,t do anything about it, but unfortunately that doesn,t help us.
So thats basically where we are at, and of course the financial pressure isn,t helping as my husband is only getting two hundred pounds a month off the company.
I would be grateful for any advice anyone could give to me

Hi DawnKW
OK, a couple of things.The first one is a plea on my part to make sure there is lots of space and paragraphs rather than chunks of text. It makes it easier to see.
Onto the main business. You need to see a copy of the rules on IHR from your husband's company pension and what the fundamental question the Dr considers. You then need to have a copy of what is called the IDRP (Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure) that will outline the procedure for appeals, and where to direct any complaints if it gets there.
Invest in a diary and note everything to do with the case. Who says what, to whom and where it was said.
Some pension schemes ask whether a person can continue to do the job they were doing until their normal retirement age, others try to establish whether the individual is capable of doing any job at all until their retirement age. You can see the enormity of difference here already.
The reason why I ask this is that you state and "the consultant could not confirm whether my husband will be able to work or not." This is a big issue for Ill Health Retirement. A person may be gravely ill at the time, they may be ill for 5 or so years, but unless the consultant can give a reasonable opinion of their ability to work until they are 60/65, very few have a mechanism for short term annuities.
So far as keeping him informed, I would ask HR why they did not tell him of early release (I assume that this was in 2010 as this is when the regs changed from HMRC). Be prepared though, that they may state that as he has been off with mental health problems/ and here read any disability, they may have acted in such a way as to protect themselves from charges of victimising him in a "why not leave now" kind of way and that they want to be seen to support him. I am not saying this is right, by the way, just to be aware of the constraints that some people have put on communication.
Look at challenging the medical opinion, this is why you need the appeals procedure. Generally only info from consultants, occasionally GPs are considered. I know from having diabetes myself how good the nurses are, but having a report from them is generally not considered good enough. Make sure your reports asses the likely impact on your ability to work until retirement. A very renouned consultant once wrote "this is a very poorly woman" and little else. Their case was rejected for lack of evidence.
Anyway, I am going to open a thread on Ouch 2 on Ill Heath Retirement, there are several of us on here who are familiar with it/ have been through it or have worked in it. I am no good at posting links, but there are links elsewhere on Q&A and Talk.
If you have any more questions, please ask and I will do my best.

As limpet says, it depends on whether the retirement is for any work, or just for the job type hubby currently does.
Also there is the situation that hubby's mental health may improve, and the diabetes become more managable.
OK, that may not look realistic to you, hubby or his consultants, but the point is that a lot of mental health conditions are not considered permanent or degenerative, and persuading the company involved may be difficult.
Thats sort of pours cold water on your situation if you are hoping for retirement, but maybe cheering if you are hoping for your hubby getting better!
You must feel incredibly frustrated because neither thing is happening
Have you had a benefit check up with CAB to check you are getting what you are due?

i still say the producer jailbroke it for the TV out ability for the rest of the sketch. That and the placement of the icons. I dont think justin long jailbroke his phone.
I would have been easier for them to use a program like "phoneview" or something like that so they can get the cov and send it to a computer. Not only that but thats still great publicity that a star would choose the iphone over another and then he goes on national tv with this product. Ps i hope that all made sense as i'm very hungover.
Lol, it might have been done to have TV-Out ability but it was still funny.
+1 Viva le Jailbreak!
Guess this means he'll be having a loooooonnnnnng talk with stevie boy about any future commercials from apple
Maybe Steve is also secretly a jailbreaker? I'm pretty sure he envies us jailbreakers
Knew there was a reason I liked his movies.
everyone jailbreaks their iPhone.... it's the right thing to do!!! atleast he didn't have in-stall-ous! lmao
He probably got the phone for free. He probably got it factory unlocked. It probably had root access from the beginning. When you are a celebrity, and you do advertising for a company, you don't just money, there are perks.
i cant believe you posted this video.... this might be the end of justin long's contract on apple doing some cool commercial stuff dont you know that?
Jailbreakers - >9,000
Apple - 0
There's definitely Apple employees with jailbroken iPhones. And I'd be damn sure that Steve Jobs has one on hand to see what "new features" he can put into iOS.
I saw this a while ago, the texts are so funny
Great that its shown his phone is jailbroken... But I would not consider him as tech guy, it is so simple to jailbreak now my dog can do it (if I had a dog).
Well if you look next to Cydia, you can see the TVOut application
Omg i was laughing my *** off the entire thing and completely forgot why i started watching it until I saw cydia at the end xD He doesn't need a contract with apple, he can do much better :P
lol was wondering when i would see that cydia icon lol, thats funny hes gonna disappear now we will miss you justin lol
i guarantee atleast half of apple employees have jailbroken idevices. everyone does it!

Saks rallies 6% on same-store sales growth
Is there more than meets the eye to Saks' recent success?
Saks (SKS) is riding high on its comparable store sales increase of 4.7%. That figure inspired a rally that moved shares more than 6% Tuesday. Is this a sign of things to come for the upscale retailer?
It could be -- but there are a few points worth noting. For starters, Saks decided to follow in the footsteps of its competitors and will no longer report monthly same-store sales results. Saks also announced that gross margins fell to 37.2% in the second quarter from 38% a year earlier. Saks blames the decline on "incremental second quarter markdowns in certain merchandise categories needed to move through the company's normal clearance cycle."
The retail industry is cyclical, so it is not too surprising to see that investors seemed more interested in the sales increase. That said, it is important to note that Saks' increase is much lower than it was a year earlier. Saks grew sales by 15.5% in the second quarter of 2011 and 12.7% during the first six months of 2011. In 2012, sales rose by only 4.7% for both the quarter and the first six months.
This decline could be blamed on a variety of issues (stiff competition, economic turmoil, etc.), but the cause is not as important as the outcome. For the time being, Saks' growth appears to be slowing.
Year-to-date, Saks' shares have practically redefined what it means to be a roller coaster stock, dropping 10% in the first week of January. In the following weeks, Saks gained 30%. Its growth was short-lived, however, as the stock struggled to maintain its year-to-date high of $11.89, which was achieved on Feb. 28.
Aside from a brief spike in May, Saks spent most of the spring season fighting a downward trend that took another 10% off the stock. As it stands, Saks is still trading higher than it was when the year began. However, the retailer may not be able to sustain its share price if its sales growth continues to decline.
Investors should keep a close eye on Saks in the coming months, especially during the holiday shopping season.

Before you get all "giddy" over the same store sales being up by 4.7% you have to understand what caused this. Was it because Saks sold more merchandise or was it because they raised their retail prices which then gives the illusion that things are improving. My bet...is that they raised prices and it was probably by double digits so for their comp store sales to by up 4.7% actually is a negative trend. Once again, the media "spin doctors" want to portray to the public that things are great but the truth of the matter is they are not.

With local development on the rise, Blaine's community development team is approaching its workload limit.
In 2011, Blaine had an official who processed permit applications and a separate official who inspected new buildings and enforced city code. Budget restraints merged those two positions into one, and Ed Yurgalevicz has played the roles of building inspector, code enforcer and permit processor ever since.
In 2012, the workload was manageable, but now that the pace of development has increased, permits are beginning to back up.
"Ed [Yurgalevicz] works 8–9 hours a day doing inspections and reviewing applications, and there are still permits waiting for review," said planning director Michael Jones.
Currently, the wait for permit processing isn't long, but the planning department is operating at capacity. If the pace of development increases at all the wait times may become a problem, Jones said.
"At that point we will have to put in a budget request for additional staffing," he said. The other three staff members in city planning aren't sitting on their laurels, as Blaine has numerous development projects brewing.
The site of the former Blaine Municipal Airport is being readied for development, and the city is working with a consultant to determine the feasibility of making a wetlands mitigation site on the property.
"It would expedite the development process for any proposed development in the watershed that needs wetlands mitigation," Jones said.
There are eight development projects currently listed on the city website, but two of those have been withdrawn from review: the Semiahmoo Marina Phase II project, and the Burnside Village project.
Other projects were conceived before the economic downturn in 2008, and reviving them is proving to be almost a bigger challenge for planners than starting from scratch.
"Imagine taking apart the kitchen sink, putting all the pieces in a pile, leaving it for five years and then coming back to it. You might not remember how all the pieces went together," Jones said during his mid-year report to city council August 19.

The soundtrack is always on at our house. And yes, the music is good, but anytime you hear the same song 400 times in a week you tend to tire of it. If you are suffering from "Frozen Overload" (a thing I just made up), perhaps freshen up the rotation with this METAL version of "Let It Go"...RAWK ON!

Professor of Comparative Medicine, Neurology and Pathology
Dr Clements received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Maryland, College Park. She completed two post-doctoral research fellowships in the Departments of Molecular Biology and Genetics (1974-1976) with Dr Bernard Weiss and in Neurology (1976-1978) with Dr Richard Johnson providing training and expertise in molecular biology and virology. Dr Clements' expertise in neurovirology and viral pathogenesis comes from her studies of the animal lentiviruses and their role in chronic neurological diseases. Using these viruses, she developed the first molecular and biochemical tools to study lentivirus molecular biology and was the first to characterize the unusual genome of the lentiviruses.
Dr Clements became the Director of Retrovirus Laboratory at Johns Hopkins in 1992, providing leadership for the faculty, students and postdoctoral fellows in an integrated research program on the pathogenesis of lentivirus infections with emphasis on animal models of AIDS Dementia and central nervous system (CNS) disease.
Research in the Retrovirus Laboratory focuses on the molecular virology and pathogenesis of lentivirus infections. In particular, the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) is used to examine the molecular basis for the pathogenesis of HIV CNS disease. Research projects include studies of viral molecular genetics and host cell genes and proteins involved in the pathogenesis of disease. Further studies of lentivirus infections of macrophages and specific viral pathogenesis in the central nervous system and the lung are of interest. These studies have led us to identify the viral genes that are important in neurovirulence of SIV and the development of CNS disease. The SIV Envelope gene and the NEF gene both play important roles in infection of the CNS. The mechanisms of the action of these proteins in the CNS are complex and are under investigation.

reviews & comments (62)
Very nice vegetarian option, fresh and flavorful, hearty enough to serve as a meal with a bit of hard cheese or saucisson on the side. Love having this in my summer-friends-over-too-hot-to-cook repertory. Not being a fan of dill, I substituted parsley, and it was fine.
This is good but not great. I've made better dishes from Epicurious. That being said, this is still a versatile dish that's very tasty and healthy. I followed the suggestions of other users and added cucumber and feta cheese. What a world of difference that made! I also used red-wine vinegar as listed in the recipe-I tried a little balsamic vinegar and found the taste not to my liking. Red-wine vinegar is definitely more suited to this dish.
added more garlic and grainy dijon mustard into the dressing; also the cucumbers as suggested. really good. worthy of more experimentation. great for vegetarian friends
My entirely carnivorous boyfriend loved this dish. Upon his third helping he exclaimed, "this is a hit!" I thought it was pretty good, especially compared to how easy it was to make. I would serve this dish again.
Once summer comes around, I make a double of this recipe about every other week. I have a couple of tweeks: 1) I only use dill 2)I use sweet red onions 3) I use a "light" balsamic vinegar -- like Trader Joe's. I often serve it with fresh mozzarella and french bread -- a complete meal. Yummm.
We loved this!!! I made it for our dinner tonight - a pork dish - wow! My husband LOVED it! I will be making this again, and again, and again!
This was a great, easy recipe. I used dried dill and basil, and it still turned out great because the lentils give an awesome earthy flavor to the salad. I also added 2tablespoons of cilantro- an addition that i strongly encourage!
Truly and utterly amazing. Its like eating summer. Cherry tomatoes make it even better. Even lentil haters will love this.
This tastes like a breezy, sunny, beautiful summer day. I've made it about five or six times since I first made it in June, and I don't think I cooked more than ten times this summer! I add minced garlic and use balsamic vinegar. It's divine.

I liked Mr. Pertwee as well. Reminded me of a snuggly ol' Teddy bear. And his voice was so soothing even when he was getting on someone's case. I looked at his role as Wurtzle Gummage but the character reminded me of a clown and I don't like clowns for some reason. They are repulsive to me. Things we pick up when we are young. You'd think that you'd be able to shake things like that off when you're older. *shrugs*
Have you seen the episode where JP pilots the hovercraft? I watched a video where he talked about that scene. It is so funny! He didn't really know how to drive that thing and the director said jump in and go so he did and landed up knocking over some cameras, lol.
Of course, Tom's voice is cool too but in a different way. His voice reminds me of a zany college professor. Authoritative, learned, instructional with enough whimsey to throw you off balance. He certainly has a very distinct and wonderful voice. One thing I find fun about Tom is you never know what he's going to say. Just when you're certain that he will say the sky is blue he goes off on a tangent and talks about how a seagull swiped a fruited hat from off a lady's head, lol. Just like opening a grab bag, you never know what's inside.

The Toyota Prius has seen a surge in popularity in Japan this year with sales almost four times what they were last year. Here in the cialis rx U.S. sales have jumped due to the Cash for Clunkers program. All this is great news for the www.rickgenest.com car maker, but the car's popularity may only grow so much due to limited battery packs.
So far this year, over 79,000 units of televideocom.com the Prius were sold in Japan and buy real viagra online without prescription the car has been the fourth biggest seller in the Cash for Clunkers program. Panasonic EV Energy, the maker of the car's battery, can only make 500,000 packs a year, meaning there's a real chance that production could stall if sales continue to be strong.
The battery maker has plans to expand its production, but there's no telling when that expansion will happen. The car's success is http://thegracedarlinghotel.com.au/canada-levitra-prescription great news because it shows that people are becoming much more receptive to tramadol from mexico hybrid and electric cars, but the battery limits signal the type of kinks that will have to be worked out before they can really compete with gasoline cars.

written by Lex, August 16, 2009
Edmunds calculated the figures (initial funding) using the same metric that auto sales are generally measured by. Sorry, the Prius didn't even make the top ten. But there are two small SUVs and two full-size pickups in the top ten.

Warning parents: you're are going to need earmuffs for this sick little story. We asked some kids: What are the three worst words you know? We got some choice answers.
I'm not trying to lose my job, really. I'm just using some old journalistic chops by testing the validity of a new study published in the American Journal of Psychology. It says children start picking up foul language as soon as they start talking.
Dr. Jeptha Tausig-Edwards, a child psychologist, says children's brains are like sponges so they are going to soak them right up. She says there's no way to avoid it. Your kids will learn to curse -- and young. By 5 or 6, your child may already know 34 bad words, the study suggests.
If your kid is cursing, here's what you need to do.
"The main thing to do is not just sit with them and explain to them how this should work, when it might be slightly more appropriate and when it's not appropriate, but also model that behavior yourself," Dr. Tausig-Edwards says.
I guess I'm not the best role model. Sorry kiddos. OK you rotten kids, I'm done with you. Now get the bleep out of here.

State police in Cumberland County are looking for two men who were videotaped during the burglary of a Penn Township home.
The two men on Saturday night broke into a basement door to enter the home in the 700 block of Centerville Road, police said.
They apparently were scared off when an internal alarm system in the house went off, police said but not before a video surveillance system caught them in the act.
Police have released the video and photos from the videotape so that someone may recognize the men responsible.

Wireless Telephony Applications Interface (WTAI) public library
The Symbian dual browser supports three Wireless Telephony Applications Interface (WTAI) public library functions: making a call while browsing, sending DTMF tones, and saving numbers and names to the phone book. These functions — MakeCall, SendDTMF, and AddPBEntry — can be used anywhere in XHTML MP code.
Making a phone call The MakeCall function is used to make a phone call directly from an XHTML page. A typical example of the usage of MakeCall is when the user selects that initiates a phone call. In XHTML, the MakeCall function is defined following string:
Call 123456 789
When a MakeCall function is executed, the user is asked to confirm that the dial-up is to be made. If the phone number about to be called does not exist in the phone book, a confirmation query with the phone number is displayed. If the number exists in the phone book, a confirmation query is displayed with the name fetched from the phone book.
Sending a DTMF tone The user can send DTMF tones through the network by executing a WTAI function called SendDTMF. Just like MakeCall, a typical way of using SendDTMF is to assign the SendDTMF function to a link. The user must have a voice call active. When the DTMF tone has been sent, the user returns to the active page where s/he initiated the sending. The voice call remains active.
Adding a phone book entry The AddPBEntry function offers an easy way to store a phone number and corresponding name onto the phone book application from an XHTML page. In XHTML, the AddPBEntry function is defined with the following string:
Home
When the user activates an AddPBEntry function and the content author has declared a name and number, the device displays a confirmation query with the text "Save name?" When the user accepts the confirmation query, another confirmation query with the text "With number +123456789" is displayed and the number is stored in the phone book application. When saving is complete, the currently active page is displayed again. The user does not have to be online or have any voice calls active in order to use the AddPBEntry function.

The Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, but the armed struggle against the British crown started several years before. In √March 1770, British soldiers stationed in Boston fired into a group of protesters killing several of them. This incident is remembered as The Boston Massacre.
The famous tea party protest occurred in √December 1773, two and a half years before the Declaration of Independence. The first shots of the American Revolutionary War between American insurgents and British regular were exchanged in √April 1775, though the first real battle took place a few days later at Concord.
In February of the same year, the Massachusetts provincial congress appointed generals to oppose the British by force. Patrick Henry's famous phrase: "Give me liberty or give me death" was delivered in a speech in √March 1775.
