Forest Kendall, MD, created the Elkhart General Hospital Emergency Services Department, starting with a small room in the basement of the hospital. In spite of his accomplishment, he claims that it was the department secretary, Margaret – now his wife – who actually ran the show.
Back in the early 1950s, if you tumbled off the ladder . . . or wrapped the Desoto around a tree . . . you got yourself to "Elkhart Hospital" and hoped to find a doctor who wasn't busy delivering a baby or removing an appendix. That was the only way to get quick medical attention. There was no Emergency Room. No team of trauma specialists waiting to patch you up. And the ambulance service consisted of one red Cadillac that belonged to the fire department.
That was the way it was . . . before Dr. Forest Kendall came on the scene.
After serving in Italy during World War II, Forest Kendall, MD, a 1939 I.U. Medical School graduate, opened a General Practice in Nappanee and assumed the classic role of country doctor. Dr. Kendall was the quintessential family physician. Soft-spoken, with a gentle smile, he quickly gained the trust of his patients who came to count on him for their health and wellbeing – any time of the day or night. He stitched up wounds, delivered babies, performed surgeries . . . providing pretty much all of the medical care his neighbors in this rural community required. But as his practice grew, he recognized the need for a better approach to the serious medical emergencies he was seeing every day.
In 1957, Dr. Kendall approached the management at Elkhart General with the idea of establishing a new hospital-based service dedicated to emergency medicine – staffed with physicians the public could count on to be there whenever needed. With the Hospital's approval, Dr. Kendall recruited two other physicians to join him. The Elkhart General Emergency Services Department was born.
The new "Department" was housed in a small room in the basement of the hospital and equipped with whatever gear the doctors brought with them or "borrowed" from other departments. The three doctors took turns manning this primitive ER 24-hours at a time. Kendall's round-the-clock shift would be followed by two days of rest while his colleagues took their turns. "Things could get pretty crazy, particularly at night," says Kendall. "Emergencies don't always happen one at a time. I'd often have three or four patients lined up, all needing immediate treatment. We learned to make do."
At first, the emergency department concept was viewed with a certain skepticism by other doctors, Dr. Kendall recalls. "Some were concerned that we were out to take their patients," he says. "Of course we never did that . . . that wasn't the idea at all. If a patient was admitted to the hospital after emergency treatment, which pretty much ended our involvement and the patient's personal physician took over. Before long, we earned the trust of the rest of the staff, and were even able to count on many of them to pitch in when we got overloaded."
Dr. Kendall remembers another sign of the times – how they transferred a patient to another hospital when the need arose. "That's when we'd call one of the local funeral homes. We didn't want to tie up the city's only ambulance, so a hearse was the only option."
Among Dr. Kendall's many accomplishments was the training of the city's first emergency medical technicians. "With so many of the emergency cases we saw, it was clear that medical treatment needed to be administered in the field, well before the patient arrived at our door," he notes. "The firemen were good ambulance drivers, but they weren't equipped to do much more, so I taught them how to provide on-the-spot treatment." A grin crosses his face as he describes one occasion when "I went on a training run and suggested to the young fellow riding with me that he should practice his intravenous skills – by starting one on me. It was a bumpy ride, and, thanks to his many failed attempts to find a vein, my arm was sore for a week."
As the Emergency Department grew, so grew the need for administrative support to keep things running smoothly. "We were busy being doctors. We needed someone to run the show," he comments. It was a job that fit Margaret Smeltzer like a glove. She had worked as a secretary in other areas of the hospital for several years, and had the skills needed to bring order to the fledging emergency department. She quickly became a driving force in helping the department expand and improve its service. "I had enormous respect for what these doctors were accomplishing," says Margaret. "And I must admit I was particularly impressed with Dr. Kendall." It's evident that the feeling was mutual, as the two were married in 2004 and now enjoy a quiet life in their home in Nappanee.
Dr. Kendall, now 95, is revered at Elkhart General according to David Van Ryn, MD, Medical Director of Emergency Services. "To say Forest was a pioneer is an understatement. He had the vision to recognize what was needed, and the tenacity to make it happen. Thanks to his efforts, we now have one of the most advanced emergency service departments in the region, handling about 60,000 visits a year."

Managers, laborers unemployed longest in 1999
March 13, 2000
About half of unemployed managerial and professional specialty workers had been jobless 7.1 weeks or more at the time of the monthly unemployment surveys in 1999. The median unemployed operator, fabricator, or laborer had been unemployed for 7.0 weeks.
[Chart data—TXT]
At the other end of the chart, technical, sales, and administrative support workers and workers in service occupations each had a median duration of unemployment of 5.9 weeks in 1999.
The lower duration of unemployment among technical, sales, administrative and service workers reflected declines of roughly half a week from those recorded in 1998. None of the other occupational groups reported a significant change in duration of unemployment.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Duration of unemployment represents the length of time, through the current reference week, that unemployed persons had been looking for work. Median duration is the midpoint of the distribution of weeks of unemployment. For more annual average data on unemployment duration and occupation, see the Table 32 of the January 2000 issue of Employment and Earnings. You can access additional pre-formatted tables from Employment and Earnings through the Current Labor Statistics button on the Monthly Labor Review homepage.

Average interest rates on both 15-year and 30-year home loans dropped slightly this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday.
The average 30-year, fixed-rate home loan declined to 3.54 percent after it had increased to 3.57 percent last week, the secondary lender reported. The rate is about a quarter point off the all-time low of 3.31 percent set last November, according to Freddie Mac.A year ago the average 30-year fixed rate was at 3.98 percent, Freddie Mac said.
Average rates for 15-year fixed rate mortgages also dipped this week -- to 2.74 percent after being at 2.76 percent. It remains close to the record low 2.63 percent The rates averaged 3.28 a year ago, Freddie Mac email@example.com or Twitter @donnagehrke

Yukon Heritage
A legacy of significant history
The Yukon may be famous for its gold rush history and diverse First Nations cultures, but there are countless stories that weave the tapestry of our heritage.
Mammoths to Mounties
Woolly mammoths and scimitar cats once roamed this region known as Beringia. Transportation was crucial to the growth of contemporary Yukon: the White Pass & Yukon Route railway, aviation, and the construction of the Alaska Highway. The story of the Canadian Mountie is rooted in the Yukon, and the territory also has a lesser known but just as colourful silver mining history.
Colourful northern characters
The most authentic, memorable part of Yukon's heritage isn't found in a museum. You're sure to come across an array of fascinating, larger-than-life personalities and colourful characters.

For most of the Midwest, the weather radar map is completely blank, not a promising green speck in sight. The National Weather Service is predicting more of the same. Its 6- to 10-day outlook for June 27 – July 1 calls for hotter- and drier-than-normal weather across the majority of the U.S.
At least there's a positive side. Grain prices finally got a boost. For the week, soybeans jumped around 60 cents and corn went up 40 cents. Chicago wheat was up about 60 cents, with Minneapolis wheat up about 40 cents.
Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, says last Friday, we saw some of the lowest closes we've had in all of the spring. "Leading up to last week, we were pretty negative in the market."
That was when rain was in the forecast.
"The weather turned out to be a bust over the weekend. We did get some rain, but it wasn't near enough." Had the rains came, you could see the fulfillment of this crop being what USDA predicted, he says.
When the forecasted rain didn't materialize, Gulke says the market started turning around on Sunday night. "By Monday morning, it was off to the races."
This week, Gulke toured many areas of northern Illinois, assessing crops. "I didn't see any bad crops, but we had 81 degrees. It shows how quick corn looks good. But in examining the ground and height of the plant, you could see the stress."
In his own fields, Gulke thought he might be raising his best crop ever. But, that was earlier this month. He went back this week, after 95-degree temperatures and 40 mph winds, things had changed. "I couldn't believe how bad things looked."
The deteriorating condition of this year's crop is front-and-center for the market, Gulke says.
"If we don't get any rain in the next 10 days, we'll be in trouble. We keep saying that. But, I think we're approaching the point now, that even if it remains cool, we need rain. A half-inch won't even make a difference now, because it's so dry. We'll see what the crop ratings do on Monday."
Gulke says he has taken his expected U.S. national corn average down to 158 bu./acre, from 162 bu./acre. In May's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), USDA increased its projected yield to 166 bu./acre and left that number unchanged in the June 12 WASDE report. "If you take another 4 or 5 bushels off this crop, which could happen, you're back to saying you don't have excess supplies."

Cours Julien
No address is more telling of the city's extravagant cultural diversity than cours Julien, an elongated square with a fountain that has long dried up and an exotic forest of palm trees, beneath which neighbourhood kids play football.

From the Vieux Port, hike north up to this fantastic history-woven quarter, dubbed Marseille's Montmartre as much for its sloping streets as its artsy ambience. In Greek Massilia it was the site of the agora (marketplace), hence its name, which means 'the basket'. During WWII the quarter was dynamited and afterwards rebuilt.
Art, culture and architecture abound in Aix and is a stroller's paradise, especially the mostly pedestrian old city, Vieil Aix The graceful cours Mirabeau is the heart of Aix. Cafés spill onto the sidewalks on the sunny northern side. The southern side shelters a string of elegant Renaissance hôtels particuliers (private mansions).
Everywhere you go in Marseille, you see the opulent, domed 19th-century Romano-Byzantine basilica occupying Marseille's highest point, La Garde (162m). Built between 1853 and 1864, it is ornamented with coloured marble, murals depicting the safe passage of sailing vessels and superbly restored mosaics.
Visionary International-Style architect Le Corbusier redefined urban living in 1952 with the completion of his vertical 337-apartment 'garden city' also known as La Cité Radieuse (Radiant City).
The site of a former sugar-refining plant and subsequent tobacco factory, the theatre, artists' workshops, cinema studios, radio stations, multimedia displays, alfresco installation art, skateboard camps and electro-/world-music parties at La Friche la Belle de Mai are the 'voice' of contemporary Marseille.
Immortalised in Alexandre Dumas' classic 1844 novel Le Comte de Monte Cristo (The Count of Monte Cristo ), 16th-century fortress-turned-prison Château d'If sits on the 30-sq-km island, Île d'If , 3.5km west of the Vieux Port.
In the heart of Le Panier is Centre de la Vieille Charité, built as a charity shelter for the town's poor. Marseille architect and sculptor Pierre Puget (1620–94), born in the house opposite 10 rue du Petit Puits, designed the stunning arched sienna-stone courtyard.
The colonnaded Palais de Longchamp and its spectacular fountains were constructed in the 1860s, in part to disguise a water tower at the terminus of an aqueduct from the River Durance. The northern wing houses Marseille's oldest museum, the Musée des Beaux-Arts , undergoing renovations at research time and slated to reopen in 2013.
Initially built as a charity shelter for the town's poor, the stunning arched pink-stone courtyard of the Centre de la Vieille Charité now houses Marseille's beautiful Musée d'Archéologie Méditerranéenne and Musée d'Arts Africains, Océaniens & Amérindiens. The latter houses a diverse and often striking collection, including masks from the Americas, Africa and the Pacific.
One of Provence's most enduring, and endearing, Christmas traditions are its santons , plaster-moulded, kiln-fired nativity figures, first created by Marseillais artisan Jean-Louis Lagnel (1764–1822). The tiny museum displays a private collection of 18th- and 19th-century santons. At adjoining ateliers, watch the figures being crafted, or buy them at the boutique.
A few hundred metres west of Île d'If are the Îles du Frioul, the barren dyke-linked white-limestone islands of Ratonneau and Pomègues. Sea birds and rare plants thrive on these tiny islands (each about 2.5km long, totalling 200 hectares). Ratonneau has three beaches. Boats to Château d'If also serve the Îles du Frioul (€10 return, 35 minutes).

Google's tactics also have been extremely lucrative. Although Google has branched into smartphones and many other fields since its founding in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998, Internet search and advertising remains its financial backbone. The intertwined services still generate more than 90 percent of Google's revenue, which now exceeds $50 billion annually.
Throughout the FTC investigation, Google executives also sought to debunk the notion that the company's recommendations are the final word on the Internet. They pointed out that consumers easily could go to Microsoft's Bing, Yahoo or other services to search for information. "Competition is just a click away," became as much of a Google mantra as the company's official motto: "Don't be evil."
Google's interactions with U.S. regulators over the years
March 2011 » Google agrees to adopt a comprehensive privacy program to settle federal charges that it deceived users and violated its own privacy policy when it launched a social networking service called Buzz.
April 2011 » Justice Department clears Google's purchase of airline fare tracker ITA Software. However, it imposes conditions, including a requirement for Google to license the technology to other companies on reasonable terms until 2016.
June 2011 » Google confirms that the Federal Trade Commission is looking into whether the company has been abusing its dominance of Internet search and advertising to stifle competition as it expands into other lucrative online markets, such as mapping, comparison shopping and travel.
August 2011 » Google agrees to pay $500 million to settle a federal investigation into the Internet search leader's distribution of online ads from Canadian pharmacies illegally selling prescription and non-prescription drugs to American consumers.
August 2012 » The FTC announces that Google has agreed to pay a $22.5 million fine to settle allegations that it broke a privacy promise by secretly tracking the online activities of millions of people who use Apple's Safari Web browser. It's the largest penalty ever imposed by the FTC.
January 2013 » Google settles the antitrust probe with the FTC without major concessions to its search formula.

Microsoft had no immediate comment. But FairSearch, a group whose membership includes Microsoft, call the FTC's settlement "disappointing and premature," given that European regulators might be able to force Google to make more extensive changes.
"The FTC's inaction on the core question of search bias will only embolden Google to act more aggressively to misuse its monopoly power to harm other innovators," FairSearch asserted.
Yelp also criticized the FTC's handling of the case, calling "it a missed opportunity to protect innovation in the Internet economy, and the consumers and businesses that rely upon it."
Investors had already been anticipating Google would emerge from the inquiry relatively unscathed.
Google's stock rose 42 cents Thursday to close at $723.67. Microsoft, which is based in Redmond, Wash., shed 37 cents, or 1.3 percent, to finish at $27.25.
In a research note Thursday, Macquarie Securities analyst Benjamin Schachter described the settlement as "the best possible outcome" for Google. "We believe that the terms of the agreement will have very limited negative financial or strategic implications for the company." Schachter wrote.

Students will visit both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap both of which are known for attracting tourists from all around the world. For the first three and a half weeks students will be studying in Phnom Penh, the capital city, which will begin with a three day orientation, followed by three weeks of study at Pannasastra University of Cambodia, which is known as the Cambodia's top English language university. During these three weeks students will be living with a Cambodian university student and their family.
Cambodia has a topical environment with annual temperatures ranging from 70-90 degrees. This seven week long summer program is structured for students to become familiar with the development of a democratic nation alongside the economic and social aspects, which has been slowed by civil war on and off since 1975. Cambodia has reestablished an elected government and is in a state of transition and improvement. Siem Reap is the third largest city with a population of 100,000 and is a gateway to Angkor Archaeological Park which includes the Khmer temple which was built in the 12th century. Khmer Temple is the world's largest religious building and is well preserved and known for its architecture. Khmer temple is depicted on the national flag is a source of national pride because it reminds Cambodians of their empire that stretched over much of Southeast Asia. The programs resident director or other faculty member will take students on tours of culturally significant sights.

The task: paint a covered bridge situated over a river and set against the backdrop of fall foliage.
That was the mission that four admitted non-painters—joining them was Donna McGary of Hyannis, the only exception, coming armed with a background as an interior designer—had before them on Thursday night at The Beach House Restaurant in North Falmouth, under the direction of Ward Parker of Mashpee.
The weekly event, organized by Paint Nite, whose slogan is "Drink Creatively," allows family, friends and strangers to come together in a stress-free setting and tap into their artistic side, taking a blank canvas and attempting to turn it into something beautiful.
Most, like Ms. McGary's boyfriend, Scott Sena of Hyannis, a computer technician, have not picked up a paintbrush since their school days and arrive nervous, not knowing what to expect.
It is up to Mr. Parker, a master artist and instructor for Paint Nite since April, to calm those nerves with words of encouragement and levity and by providing an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process for students to emulate. Throw in a cocktail or two and some music and most are put at ease almost immediately.
"People come here intimidated and not knowing what to expect, but when they get into it they have a lot of fun," Mr. Parker said. "I can tell you I've had tons of people come in here and then afterwards start painting, which chokes me up."
"I ask people to sign their paintings because 200 years from now none of us will be here, but the painting will," he said.
Last week's contingent of novice painters included twin sisters Audra Schiappa of Wareham, a nurse at Tobey Hospital, and Tara Bazarewsky of Plymouth, a real estate agent with Jack Conway, Realtor, and Ms. Bazarewsky's daughter Samantha, 17, a senior at Plymouth South High School.
There have even been nights at The Beach House, where classes take place every Thursday, that have been sold out. And in nearby Plymouth at the Alden Park Bar and Grill where Mr. Parker shares his love of painting with others, the events have become so popular that it forced Ms. Schiappa and Ms. Bazarewsky to venture into Falmouth to find out what the new social craze is all about.
Compared to other groups he has taught, Mr. Parker said Thursday's was relatively small. His cap is 40 students, a figure often reached in larger cities like Boston, Philadelphia and Los Angeles where Paint Nite has offerings.
It's All About the Drinks
Armed with their respective drinks—Mr. Parker preferred Coors Light, Ms. Bazarewsky sipped on a pinot grigio while her daughter and sister drank waters, Mr. Sena opted for a Coke and his girlfriend chose an iced tea—the group began by placing two pieces of masking tape horizontally on their blank canvas, separating it into thirds.
Each had an array of paints—red, yellow, black, blue and white—from which to choose and employed everything from a big brush to a medium brush to a fan brush as tools in their arsenal. "Plymouth South," Mr. Parker barked out to Samantha, "you are the heckler tonight. You have to ask what brush I use," for each step of the process.
At one point, prior to applying foundation to the bottom third of the painting with a mixture of black and blue paint, Samantha forgot her responsibilities as her aunt asked, "Is this with the big brush?"
"Come on, Samantha, what kind of heckler are you?" Mr. Parker said playfully to her.
These types of exchanges were common throughout the night as Mr. Parker donned the cap of not only instructor but entertainer: "The next step in the process is the easiest step in the whole painting. Even a female can do this," Mr. Parker joked, prompting Ms. Bazarewsky to laughingly yell out, "Hey, you are in big trouble now, Ward."
And to her daughter, a libero on Plymouth South's undefeated volleyball team, he cracked, "I hope you mess up in volleyball, but you don't in your painting." Why? Mr. Parker's daughter and occasional assistant at the Paint Nite events, Amanda Parker, is the head coach of the girl's volleyball team at Sandwich High School, which squares off against Plymouth South this week.
The 22-year-old Ms. Parker, who showed up in the middle of the two-hour session, said the events are "a lot of fun. A lot of people come in here never having painted before and they leave with something that is so impressive and end up saying at the end of the night, 'I can't believe I did that.' And everyone's is so different even though they are following the same instructions, which is so cool to see."
Her father expressed delight in having the ability to bond with his daughter over these shared experiences.
Pursuing His Passion
Although he has long been a painter, his career was as a businessman, admitting last night that his objective was to make as much money as he could. "I was in the restaurant business for 35 years and owned Wendy's in Massachusetts and Rhode Island," he said. "I sold my business in 2011 and now I'm following my passion. I love painting and I love this stuff."
Sharing that love with others, he said, has been rewarding.
The majority of the night he spent encouraging those who were merely exploring the ways putting paint onto a canvas can be turned into art.
"You are really good," Mr. Parker said at one point to Ms. Schiappa, who asked immediately, "Should I quit my nursing job?"
Several times he would hold up someone's painting to show them the work their fellow artists were doing. When he did that with Mr. Sena's painting, he cracked, "The computer guy can paint."
Regardless of one's talent level, Mr. Parker stressed that the evening is intended to be supportive with no judgment made about any of the work. That philosophy extended to Beach House manager Vanessa Murphy, who walked into the room several times, complimenting the budding artists. "You are all doing fabulous," she said. "You're like Bob Ross, painting happy little trees."
When asked why she was not painting, Ms. Murphy replied, "I'm not a painter."
"Neither are we," Ms. McGary said.
But for two hours last night, Mr. Parker showed them all that they were.
The final touch Mr. Parker demanded of all students: they sign their work. "I ask people to sign their paintings because 200 years from now none of us will be here, but the painting will," he said.
The end result for the five in attendance was a satisfaction in the work they created, which they all said will be proudly displayed in their homes.
"I definitely would do this again," Ms. McGary said. "We were nervous coming in, but the teacher actually made it feel like anyone could do this."

Mt. Sirung on Pantar Island is one of the less visited volcanoes of Indonesia, but one of the most fascinating. The trek from Beang is an easy 5-6 hours hike, mostly through beautiful eucalypt savanna and passing small cashew nut plantations.
A few kilometers to the north you can observe the "birth" of a new volcano:
on a small, featureless hill, a gas eruption occurred for the first time in February 2011, burned the grass in the surroundings, and created a small crater of only 5 to 10 meter in diameter.
I've fallen in love with Pulau Pantar - wonderful people, trekking in unspoiled nature, and world-class diving. See my website for more info:

Ngai Mun
1954 / B&W / D Beta / Cantonese / 121min
By 1954, several Union Film founders were actively pursuing different ventures, forming new companies and making films with interested parties. The Cuckoo is a production of Chun Kim's Artland Films, commissioned by Singapore's Kong Ngee organisation, which later established its own production arm with Chun. Based on a popular airwave novel by Ngai Mun, the film is about a maiden cursed with a life of misfortune and hardship. Chun takes an obligatory stance against feudalism, but the convictions of his Union Film work are missing. The film thrives instead on melodramatic twists and turns typical of radio dramas, animated by Chun's gift for storytelling.

Science Graduation Requirement Frequently Asked Questions
Updated: October 2012
1. What is the State Board of Education's (SBE) role in science education?
One of the Board's strategic plan goals is to promote effective strategies to make Washington's students nationally and internationally competitive in math and science. The Board provides system oversight for math and science achievement, and establishes state credit requirements for high school graduation.
The Board also sets the cut scores on the state science assessments to establish the level of proficiency students are expected to attain.
2. What is the Washington State science credit requirement for graduation?
Washington requires students to complete two credits of science, including one credit of a laboratory science, in order to graduate from high school.
3. Are there Washington schools that require more than the minimum two credits of science?
Forty-seven districts (19 percent of districts with high schools) required students to take three or more credits of science in 2011.
A 2008 transcript study of almost 15,000 2008 Washington graduates showed that 54.6 percent of the students took three credits of science, including two labs (almost 79 percent of the students took two credits of lab science).
The science research brief from the transcript study is available on our website.
4. What is the science requirement that SBE approved in November 2010?
SBE approved a new career and college ready graduation requirements framework that includes three credits of science, including two laboratory science credits. The legislature must authorize and fund any new requirements that have a fiscal impact on districts. Until the legislature acts, SBE will not adopt rules to implement the new requirement.
5. What is the science assessment requirement for graduation?
Washington requires students in the graduating class of 2015 to pass a statewide biology end-of-course assessment. A table of graduation requirements for the classes of 2012 to 2016, including required assessments, is available on our website.

After the big rain we had, I hit the weeds–most of which involved wrangling ever expanding globs of crabgrass. Yes, this is the time when crabgrass rears its ugly head and begins to creep through our fescue lawns, sneak into our cultivated beds and, when we're not looking, reseeds itself to ensure the continuation of the species. Okay, maybe a little melodramatic but my hands still hurt from all that pulling!

By the time you read this, the actual inauguration will be over. In order to keep it on the official day, it was done on Sunday. What are your hopes for the next four years. More of the same? Will we continue to see the arrogant "My way or the highway" attitude toward congress? Will Harry Ried still be looking for the word "Budget' in the dictionaryt? Will Nancy Pelosi still entertain us with those cute inane statements like " We have to pass the bill, so we will know what's in it?" Will the Republicans still keep passing bills that have no chance of passage-just to keep in practice?
Until we change our politics so it will be America driven instead of money driven, I SEE LITTLE CHANGE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

Authorities have released the name of the man killed in an accident just outside Hereford Sunday morning.
The Department of Public Safety says just before 11:00, 52 year-old Lyndon Howard was driving a diesel truck south on 385 when his truck collided with a van.

VHT Amplification Special 12/20 RT 1 x 12" Guitar Combo Amplifier
VHT Amplification Special 6 Ultra 6W 1x12 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp
VHT Amplification Special 12/20 12W/20W 1x12 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amp
The six-watt Special 6 guitar combo amp gets its powerful tube sound from one 12AX7 preamp tube and one 6V6 output tube, with a 10" VHT High-Sensitivity speaker. It boasts a footswitchable Gain Boost feature that significantly expands its range of tones—it's the only amp in its class that excels at both clean and overdriven tones, and it's the only amp in its class to offer a footswitchable boost. With the Gain Boost, players can instantly toggle between clean rhythm tones and overdriven leads, essentially duplicating the footswitchable functions of a 2-channel amp in an all-tube, hand-wired, simple, 2-knob combo.

Comments about VHT Amplification Special 6 6W 1x10 Hand-Wired Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier:
This baby is aawwesooome! I'm 52 years old and have owned many amps, large and small, from Fender Vibro Champ and HR Deluxe, to Vox Night Train, Carvin Nomad, Peavey Bravo, etc. With all the 2-channel options and master volumes, etc. this gem is the first one I can play out and get the power tube "bloom" without destroying my ears and being constantly told to turn down. I can mic it with my Senheiser E-609 and send all that glorious tone to the board, where the sound guy wants it. The clean tones are very nice as well. With a little reverb and an analog chorus and delay you can cover almost anything you can imagine, and at a volume you can live with. I love this amp and my Strat, Tele, and LP do as well. Now I want to buy another so I can leave it at the church where I play most often. Then I can carry this one around wherever else I go.

Rackspace Hosting Inc. Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (RAX)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Internet Software & Services industry average. The net income increased by 17.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $23.18 million to $27.26 million.
- RAX's revenue growth trails the industry average of 31.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 20.2%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Although RAX's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.12 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.37, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 62.77% to $113.79 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, RACKSPACE HOSTING INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -1.13%.
- The gross profit margin for RACKSPACE HOSTING INC is rather high; currently it is at 68.60%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, RAX's net profit margin of 7.52% significantly trails the industry average.

EMVCo membership will boost Discover
Compliance with these standards will allow the credit card company to gain merchant acceptance in the U.S. and in international markets.
While this deal may not have an immediate impact on Discover, it will help it maintain compliance with the EMV Integrated Circuit Card Specifications and further gain merchant acceptance in the U.S. as well as help international expansion.
Credit cards account for 80% of Discover's revenues and gross profits, with 65% of the company's revenue coming from interest earned on credit loans and another 15% from discount and interchange fees. The company charges an average discount and interchange fee of 1% of the dollar volume (purchase volume) of transactions processed by it.
Our $47 price estimate for Discover Financial's stock is in-line with the current market price.
Discover is a relatively small player in the credit cards domain, with just around 70 million cards in circulation. In comparison, Visa has 278 million credit and charge cards in circulation in the U.S. while MasterCard has 180 million. Visa and MasterCard processes roughly 38 transactions per card annually, whereas Discover processes 32. The average payment volume per transaction is around $50 for Visa and $60 for both MasterCard and Discover. Discover's market share in the U.S. is just around 5% of the credit purchase volume.
EMVCo is primarily concerned with setting standards for inter-operation of integrated circuit cards. Compliance with these standards will allow Discover to gain merchant acceptance in the U.S. and in international markets like Russia, where it is looking to expand its operations. We currently expect Discover's purchase volume to increase by 6% to 7% through the decade, mostly through organic growth in merchant acceptance and a general economic recovery in the U.S.
There is 10% upside to our price estimate should Discover maintain a double digit growth rate through the decade. You can modify the interactive chart below to assess the effect a change in forecast would have on our price estimate.

Can you guess what song I was listening to? (hint: when I first saw the MV, my face was basically stuck like Anders's for a whole 4 minutes).
I was going to do a page of doodles to warm up but I feel like conking out already (wtf) so here's a half page.
