Jacen Lankow has became infamous after pulling one of the most impressive stunts by a streaker that we've ever seen. The University of Arizona senior interrupted the UCLA-Arizona football game Thursday night when he ran onto the field dressed as a referee. A fight between the teams ensued, and Lankow was taken in by campus police. Now, thanks to KVOA-TV in Tucson, we know Lankow's motivation.
Lankow told the TV station he came up with the idea while getting his oil changed over the summer. He says he wanted to do something really big before he graduated and this was it.
"It's my last semester," Lankow explained. "I've had a clear record so far. I just wanted to do something for fun. Good clean fun — nobody got hurt.
When asked about the possibility of punishment from the school, Lankow admitted he was worried.
"If I got expelled, my mom would be pissed!"
Contrary to what you would believe, Lankow insists he wasn't drunk. In fact, he says he didn't have anything to drink.
But his biggest regret from the infamous night?

House Rules Help Conquer Discipline Problems
Next, discuss the rules as a family, not only so the kids understand, but so that they can have some input. For example, your picky eater may ask to have "Eat what you are given" modified with "or you can have a ham-and-cheese sandwich and an apple." Children may have rules they'd like for mom and dad, too. After all, if the kids aren't allowed to swear when they're frustrated with homework, should Dad be able to when working with the computer?
Once rules are decided on, they should be written out and posted. For children too young to read, you can draw or cut out pictures to illustrate the points. For teens, the list idea may seem insulting, so a contract or family meeting minutes with the rules enumerated and agreed upon may be more appropriate.
Parents may also want to include a written set of consequences. Family philosophies differ on this: some parents believe that set consequences help the children make responsible decisions and keeps them, the parents, from overreacting; others prefer to have more freedom. Bates, for example, says she doesn't have a list of consequences because she likes the "element of surprise" and time to make the consequence fit the offense.
An alternative is to make a list of consequences for the parents to choose from. This can help keep parents from either excessive punishments such as "You're grounded for three months!" or not doing anything because they are too flustered to think. Some ideas might be doing push-ups or jumping jacks, docking allowances or grounding (with minimum and maximum).
Rewards may be enumerated and built into the system, too. Clinical psychologist Dr. Denis Nissim-Sabat of Fredericksburg, VA, says rewards are important to help children focus on learning what is appropriate behavior, rather than simply to punish them for what they're not supposed to do. Again, this can vary by family philosophy. Kimberly Fletcher, mother of seven whose husband is currently stationed at the Pentagon, uses an obedience chart, and when a child follows a rule, he or she moves a token up a space. At intervals are rewards they can earn, like stickers or candy or a treat. Nissim-Sabat also suggested specific rewards like going to bed on time every school night for a week means staying up late to watch TV on Saturday.
Other parents believe these rules constitute normal family behavior and should not merit rewards. "Society has norms of behavior, and so does our family," noted Bates. She does, however, have rewards for extraordinary behavior. In fact, Bates said that the thing she's enjoyed most about having the house rules posted is that they've freed the family up from having to worry so much about everyday behavior so they can concentrate on deeper issues like sacrifice and giving of themselves.
After all, the point of discipline is not just to stave off anarchy, but to help our children become better people.

WASHINGTON — Some arrived in the afternoon drizzle with the aid of canes. Others steadied themselves on the arms of spouses. But they displayed much of the same determination they had a half a century ago when they were the foot soldiers of President John F. Kennedy's New Frontier.
A handful of surviving members of the 35th president's White House staff came together Wednesday to relive heady times that have long since passed into American myth. They were invited for a private tour of the exhibit, "To The Brink: JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis," on display at the National Archives.

Today's manufacturing and workplace environments are fast-paced and always changing. For those working in institutional and instructional settings, it is important to stay on top of changes while working within the compliance guidelines of regulatory safety and health requirements. The Corporate & Public Safety (CPS) education department's institutional and industrial safety programs are developed with the assistance of local safety and health experts to ensure your workforce is trained in the most current safety practices.
All of our programs are available on a contracted basis and can be customized to meet your institutions' specific needs. We can conduct full or partial day training, on-site or on-campus. For more in-depth information about our courses, download a copy of our courses catalog or contact us at 610-861-5467.
We have five main areas of training:
Employee Safety
Emergency Preparedness
School Safety
Business Continuity
The policies of the federal government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration are the standard for all industries. Staying on top of regulations, standards and procedures issued by OSHA is critical to your business.
The Corporate & Public Safety education department provides 10-hour and thirty hour OSHA Outreach Training programs for general industry and the construction trades. Ten hour outreach programs cover topics such as hazard identification/avoidance, electrical, walking/working surfaces, fire and emergency prevention and are applicable for all level employees. The thirty hour courses emphasize the regulations and interventions that can be implemented to assure compliance with OSHA regulations. The 30 hour general industry course is ideal for safety and health managers, safety supervisors/coordinators and human resources managers. The 30 hour construction outreach program is ideal for safety directors, foreman and field supervisors. Upon successful completion, participants will receive either a 10 or 30 hour OSHA completion card.
Employee Safety
The education of a safety conscious workforce is essential to promote and assure workplace productivity while providing a climate of well being. Our hands-on employee and employer are applicable to all industries and are committed to promoting a workplace dedicated to safety.
Training areas include:
Emergency Preparedness
Anticipating hazards and unsafe workplace conditions is essential, but emergencies aren't always avoidable. How your organization responds in the face of a crisis can be the difference between survival and devastating loss.
Northampton's classes in emergency preparedness focus on developing workable emergency response plans and assigned roles for employees. Courses include:
School Safety
A safe environment for students and staff is the first priority of any educational institution. Northampton's specialized courses will train your staff to recognize threats, respond to various emergencies and intervene for positive outcomes. We help you develop relationships with your first responders and minimize the impact of negative events in your facility.
Course subjects include:
We can conduct full or partial day trainings on-site or on-campus to coordinate with your school's in-service days. For more information, please call 610-861-5467 or email us.
Business Continuity Professional Workshop Series
Business Continuity Planning and Management has become the latest trend for large and small business. Planning for business interruption from pandemics to natural disasters has created new positions and increased responsibilities for employees in various positions. The following course series will help prepare interested individuals in plan development and management and as the first step towards certification as a Business Continuity Professional. Certification exams are offered through DRII and testing dates can be found by visiting http://www.drii.org. Participants can take workshops independently or the comprehensive course.

A west suburban man who has been accused of cyber stalking and sending death threats to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has been ordered held on $75,000 bond.
Steven Cleary, 49, of Franklin Park, was charged Friday with threatening a public official and cyber stalking, both felonies, according to the sheriff's office.
Cleary is accused of sending between 50 and 60 threatening emails to Dart, according to sheriff's office spokesman Ben Breit said, who said Dart does not know Cleary.
Cleary allegedly began sending death threat emails to Dart in early May, the sheriff's office said. Recently, Cleary began sending specific threats to Dart's life.
He is being held in lieu of $75,000 bond in the Cook County Jail, according to the sheriff's office.
It's unclear why Cleary was threatening Dart.

Sellout Risk: Extremely High
The Sessions Primo Snowboard Jacket may end up making you look like a lemon, but soon everyone will know that you're anything but as you hit the mountain slopes. With a loose fit, this jacket has 10,000mm waterproof fabric with 8000g breathability. The pit vents will keep your body dry even during more active moments and the fixed hood will be there whenever you need it most. So, don't be afraid to stand out when you have the Citron Dobby Stripe, for you'll withstand the elements longer than anyone to show off.
Nice and comfy and warm, lining feels good and looks good, but way to baggy and plain looking
Love the color (yellow) and design (simple). Keeps me warm and dry on the 'wet' snow. Would be great if there is a pocket to put goggle.

For $60 I could not resist this purchase! turns out to be one of my best buys yet. Very warm jacket, love the headphone holes :) Highly recommended!!!
Bought this jacket for $100US. Cant fault it in any way, and was happy to see a Large was a Large which can suck when buying online. Awesome jacket, awesome service!
I normally wear an XL, 5'10/215lbs, but based on my last Sessions purchase I went with the L. Perfect fit. Warm, lightweight, not too long, and best of all it looks way better in person than it does on the website.
I am a male 6'0 and 210lb I normally wear a XL in shirts and jackets I read other reviews and saw it fit bigger, so I got the Large and it fits perfect. Nice looking and plenty of pockets. Great jacket for the $$ I paid $60.00 one day sale am glad I got it.
Awesome colours and warmth appears to be made well got it quite cheap so happy with that. The jacket is very large around waist but nice around shoulders, I know it's s baggy fit but probably a little too baggy around the waist for me

I ordered this jacket in large, it was WAY too big. I returned it and reordered it in medium because I love the look. Good jacket but like I said it's definitely big.
When you see this on the sessions website it looks really shiny, luckily it doesnt look like this in real life.. looks awesome. a bit baggy but I prefer it like that. Definitely a good buy
Was afraid that it would of been too shiny going from the web site. But it wasn't and looks really great

going from the web site.
But it wasn't and looks really great
This jacket is great for the price. im 5'10 165 and I chose the medium, the jacket fits fairly well with a little extra baggyness which I like it is quite comfy but also the fabric that is used to make it very high quality. This is my second jacket from sessions and it wont be the last.
I got an XS in the yellow, it looks amazing- my friends never lose me on the mountain. I usually wear a S (5'7, 135lbs) but I downsized to an XS since these type of jackets seem to run big on me. Let's start at the top of the jacket and work our way down. Hood- has a ridge that keeps the top of it from falling on your face, but too small to wear over a helmet. Neck- fuzzy fleece right in front of the mouth, nice and warm. Sleeves- great inner layer that ends in a thumb hole/half hand cover, keeps the snow out, nice cinches on the sleeve end. Pockets- not a lot of room inside, but enough for phone, wallet, keys. Outside pockets small too but enough room for trail map, granola bars, etc. Overall very warm (probably the only part of me that was warm on a low teens day) and waterproof- have worn in near whiteout, cloudy day, balmy day and performed very well. A little tight if I wear a fleece underneath.
Sweet jacket, just the right amount of warmth to wear either by itself on a warm day or throw on some coldgear under on those especially freezing days. I have always loved session's softgoods and how theres always so many pockets, gaitors in the right places and just the general amount of innovation/intuitive thinking that they put in their gear. Top notch as always and this jacket is no different. Grab it while you can!
I got the studio white. It looks great. Clean white with green thread that just stands out. Could do with another pocket but then again my pants have plenty to make up for it. The jacket is pretty damn wamr, but that said I don't feel the cold as much as most. I would have preferred a non-insulated jacket, as this material is kind of shiny and puffy. Should have gone one size up for a baggier look, but at least it's very comfortable.
I'm very pleased with this jacket, it looks great and is very comfortable. It seems like good quality. The jacket is a baggy fit but I wanted that style. It's very warm and the arm vents are good on a warm day. I like the colour, I got the turf green one.
The only downside is the sleeves are too short for me, I can't use the thumb hooks because it cuts into my hand. I am tall and have long arms however.
Let me just start by saying I live in Australia, so to the conditions here this jacket is PERFECT! Not warm enough to cook me on a spring-ish day (we actually have no snow during spring) and not light enough to freeze me on a cold day.
The quality is what you'd expect of Sessions, very good. The product seems well thought out with pockets on the right places and zippers that won't cost you valuable riding time.
It does what it's supposed to do and manage to make you look stylish whilst doing so.
I got the black striped one and it looks awesome! I'm tired of everyone wearing really crazy colours so I went for a more conservative look this time (prob something to do with me being over 30 now! lol) and I'm very pleased with what I got!
Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're lucky to get it on the staff pick sale like I did.
I always look for good construction this jacket has it
I normally wear a M/L, and after reading a few reviews got this jacket in a medium. I prefer a bit of extra room to move, so the M is perfect. But for those who don't like their jackets too baggy, might want to downsize on your usual size. It is a great jacket season round, will keep you warm/cosy whatever conditions Mother Nature decides to throw at you. Would benefit from a few extra pockets tho. But great jacket overall!
This is a great jacket to wear in almost any weather. Keeps you very warm. I usually wear L-XL so i rodered the Large and it fits me good. It does tend to be alil bigger so people might want to consider downsizing when buying this jacket. I highly recommend to anyone.
This is a well designed jacket with breathable waterproof material and inner pockets on both sides with headphone access holes. There's a dual button style waist strap lined with rubber band like material to keep the snow out. There are zippers under both armpits for ventilation and lots of adjustable elastics for the perfect fit. Integrated glove liner in the sleeve, RECCO reflector, and what appears to be an old school handkerchief in the left inner pocket are nice touches. The 10000mm fabric claims to be able to withstand 33ft of water in a 24hour period before the wearer gets wet and some critical seams are tapped shut to further prevent moisture from soaking through.
There is one oversight in the primo's design: the hood will not fit over my medium sized helmet. I can try to stuff it in, but head movement is so restricted it's not worth using.
First time buying Sessions gear and I'm seriously impressed. The quality of the material and the thought that's gone in to the pockets and pouches is reassuring. The Yellow however did get badly stained by a rope-tow in NZ so be warned if you're a messy rider!
Quite a large fitting jacket which I'm fine with but a slimmer person might need to go for a size smaller. Overall, thumbs-up though!
Got this in the staff picks. Great price, was not sure what to expect. Make of that fluffy puffy jacket stuff, but only slightly puffy. Not sure how waterproof it would be, supposed to be 10000/8000. Great as apes wear, not so sure on the mountain.
I wish it had another inner pocket, but the one you see in the picture is all there is. It has plenty of outer pockets, and a semi-inner pocket next to the zip. This is the main reason it lost a star for me.
The sleeves are a tad too short for me when using the hand bits on the end. My arm length is 80cm from shoulder top to my knuckles.
It's a very warm jacket and not too baggy, fits very well.
Rider Profile: 6ft, 215 lbs.
I usually wear an XL in other jackets, but reading the reviews of some others, i opted to buy a Large for a non baggy fit. Sizing down to a large, the jacket fits perfect for a loose fit.
I took this jacket to weather that was about -10 degrees C (sorry american friends, google the conversion) with windchill, it was about -15 to -20. i wore only a baselayer thermal and was toasty all day. i have also taken it to warmer temperature riding and the pit zips allow you to cool down. There inside zip pockets on the left and right side with earphone ports. The left breast zip is side accessible without undoing your jacket and comes with a goggle wipe. the jacket also includes hand slip with thumb holes. i found that since i sized down, these were not long enough and are overstretched because my arms are too long if i try to use them. Lastly, i was in pretty damp/wet snow for a good 4 hours and although the outside of the jacket was notiecably wet, i was bone dry on the inside, so it has excellent waterproofing.
Got this jacket on the staff pick sale and have to say its unreal best $60 i have ever spent.
Thick enough to keep me warm on the coldest aussie snow day! But not too thick that im going to boil during the early spring snow sessions! Heaps of zips and places to store belongings safely.
Personally im a huge fan of the inner layer that goes over your thumbs and into your gloves.
I followed the description of the product as I too am similar to Mike M's profile (I am 5 Feet 8 Inches and 160lbs. I wear this jacket in a Medium for a normal fit and Large for Baggy Fit.)
So I bought a large for baggy fit but i think its just on the verge of ridiculously baggy. Medium should have been better.
Apart from the bagginess, the jacket looks sick, its not too thick and it keeps me warm !! not many pockets but i dont need that many pockets anyway. I bought this when it was on sale so although it's baggy, i dont regret it that much.
4 stars for style, warmth and looks, missing 1 star because of baggy and lack of pockets.
I got this jacket on the staff picks days and it was a great price. A large fit me and I am 6' 215lbs. I prefer jackets that aren't too baggy so I went with a L. Normally I wear XL but usually XL is baggy. The jacket is versatile with a lot of pockets but it is a bit thin. The coldest I took it out on was around 0C. I was warm enough but I don't think it would work as well in colder temps like -10C. Layering is a must with this jacket in colder temps
This jacket feels really good no matter what the mountain conditions are. The fabric inside the jacket feels really warm when its needed, but the jacket can be really well vented on those spring days.
I usually don't bring a lot up on the mountain (board lock, phone, keys, etc.) so this jacket works for me. But it only has two pockets on the outside, so the pockets fill up fast. Only real problem was that one of the buttons fell off before I took it up the mountain even once (kind of an insignificant one that I don't really notice).
A couple of specific features I liked on the jacket were the built in hand liners that saved my a$$ on a cold day when I forgot my glove liners, and the hood large enough to fit over my helmet. Its durability is kind of in question because of the button thing, but I would recommend getting this jacket for anyone looking.
This jacket is awesome, It is a tad big around belly and chest (I'm 59 and 160bls. and brought the medium) Really warm jacket with well placed pockets and even headphone spots. This jacket is extremely comfortable and keeps you toasty. If you get too hot just open the vents and you get nice cool air to your armpits. For $60 this jacket is a must for your collection.

Smart phones just got a lot smarter for DeKalb County parents.
The school district has launched an app where you can get any and all information about to your child in one place.
The school district is the first in Georgia to launch an app.
The app allows you to choose which school or schools in the district you would like to follow. Parent Doug Dakin says that's his favorite feature of the app, that you can focus on a specific school, rather than get general information about the whole county.
With the app you can:
Officials say it's a one stop shop, where you can obtain all the information you need to know about your child, in one location.
Gary Brantley helped develop the app. He says the district wanted to bridge the gap between schools and parents. Brantley says the app is secure so that no one else can access your child's sensitive information (like grades) but you.
Some of the features the app highlights are still being developed and more features will roll out as the app evolves.
The app was beta tested for 6 months before launch, and was introduced on January 6th. So far, it has been downloaded more than 700 times.
Brantley says the app cost $70,000 to develop.
"For the amount of communication that it's actually going to provide and the engagement that it's going to provide for parents, I think it's a very minimal cost for 100,000 students", says Brantley.

SPOKANE-- Thunderstorms began moving into the Spokane area Saturday afternoon.
The problems started early. Flooding overwhelmed streets and homes in many locations.
Both directions of I-90 were submerged in several inches of water near Thor and Freya, causing traffic to come to a standstill. The Washington Department of Transportation says a heavy thundershower with hail led to the problem.
Several local roads were also submerged. Lacey and 5th was shut down to traffic in both directions because of flooding.
Several local roads were also submerged. Lacey and 5th was shut down to traffic in both directions because of flooding.
A flash flood warning was issued for Central Spokane County. To see most recent warnings, click here.
On 5th & Lacey, homeowners reported seeing up to five inches of standing water in the middle of the street. Residents said five houses in that neighborhood sustained some flooding damage. Neighbors said they started removing debris from the storm drains as soon as the rain started coming down hard.
"It's very frustrating. It's the fourth time I've been flooded in five years," said Vickie Brown, whose basement flooded.

(RNN) - Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has taken both the Mississippi and the Alabama primaries after a close race with Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, according to CNN.
Romney picked up more delegates after winning in Hawaii and American Samoa, which gave him a total of 506 delegates, more than 500 short of the 1,144 needed to secure the Republican presidential nomination.
He placed third in both southern primaries Tuesday while Texas Rep. Ron Paul, as predicted, did not fare well in either primary.
In the Yellowhammer State, Santorum got 35 percent of the votes, six more percentage points than his nearest rival, Gingrich.
"We did it again," Santorum said in Lafayette, LA shortly after CNN called him as the winner of Alabama's primary.
In Mississippi, Santorum and Gingrich ran neck-and-neck with each other. According to CNN, only two percentage points separated Santorum and Gingrich from each other with the former senator coming out on top with 33 percent.
Both states use proportional primaries, so delegates will be divvied up amongst the top winners in the states.
The added delegates will bring Santorum, who is currently running behind the GOP favorite former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, closer to closing the more than 200 delegate gap between himself and his rival.
"If you're the front runner and you keep coming in third, you're not much of a front-runner," Gingrich said to reporters at his campaign headquarters in Birmingham, AL.
After polls closed the two hotly contested Deep South primaries, exit polling results were too close to call the winner, according to CNN. Santorum and Romney were front-runners in both elections, according to the initial poll results.
Various surveys released before polls opened in the southern states found Gingrich and Romney in a dead heat while Santorum and Paul trailed behind. Most polls favored current front-runner Romney.
According to exit polling from CBS News, 39 percent of Alabama voters said their decision was heavily influenced by their perception of which candidate would be best against President Barack Obama. In Mississippi, 42 percent said the same thing.
The polls found that a majority of Alabama residents are ready to support whichever candidate makes it onto the Republican ticket come fall. In Mississippi, most voters were strongly attached to their chosen candidate - especially Gingrich backers. According to CBS, nearly seven in 10 of his supporters said they "strongly back him."
The next primary will be held in Illinois on March 20. The state has 69 delegates up for grabs.

Has Sodastream Lost its Pop?
Ryan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The date is November 4th, 2010. Sodastream International (NASDAQ: SODA) has just completed its first day of trading as a public company. Sodastream International, a company that produces home beverage carbonation systems, which in turn allows the consumer to make carbonated soft drinks, sparkling water, and energy drinks out of tap water, has finished the day up 20.60%, or $4.12 to $24.12.
Now nearly two years later, on July 11th, 2012, Sodastream is set to open at $38.21, a 58.41% premium from its closing price on the first day of trading, but Sodastream is not currently making new highs. Sodastream has climbed as high as $79.72 before quickly retreating, on fears of slowing growth. So has Sodastream International lost its pop?
Growing Market
Sodastream International's target market is anyone who drinks soda or sparkling water. Thanks to several of the largest beverage companies in the world such as The Coca-Cola Company(NYSE: KO), PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP), and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (NYSE: DPS), nearly 1 out of every 2 Americans drinks soda, and soda products are available and consumed regularly in nearly every section of the world. The growing middle classes in China and other emerging markets such as Brazil and India are creating a huge market for soda products. With more and more people gaining more money in their paychecks, they will have more money to spend on luxury items, such as soda, sparkling water, and energy drinks. There is no denying it, the carbonated beverage market is colossal, and Sodastream International has just started to penetrate the world of opportunity that is available.
Global Populations
(Figures in billions)
As the world becomes more personalized and customizable, there becomes a new need for products that cater to personalized needs. When a customer walks into the average grocery store, he/she sees the classics; Coca-cola, Sprite, Fanta, and maybe five other types of soda, but what if the consumer wants raspberry-lime soda or apple mango sparkling water. Sodastream accommodates to this need. Even The Coca-Cola Company has seen the need for a machine that enables customers to create their own types of drinks, driving the Coca-Cola Company to produce the Coca-Cola freestyle. The Coca-Cola freestyle is the size of a vending machine and it produces over 100 types of sodas. From Peach Fanta to Lime Coca-Cola, the freestyle machine dispenses nearly all types of soda. The downside of the freestyle is that is not a home product, being the side of a vending machine. If a customer wants personalized soda in the comfort of their own home, they turn to Sodastream. The Coca-Cola Company has realized the market Sodastream has been taking advantage of, the market for customizable beverages, and now will share in the benefits of this market with Sodastream.
Growth is not Fizzling Out
In 2010, Sodastream International reported earnings per share of $1.09. A year later, Sodastream reported again, this time stating earnings per share of $1.34, representing 22.93% growth. In 2012, the average consensus believes earnings per share will reach $2.11, showing 57.46% growth. Sodastream's growth is not slowing, it is accelerating. Again in 2013, earnings per share are expected to grow, this time displaying 24.17% growth, and reaching $2.62. If nothing else, Sodastream International has one of the highest growth rates in the sector, out expanding all the soda giants by a marginable rate. 2012 to 2013 earnings per share growth for The Coca-Cola Company is expected to be 9.38%, PepsiCo, Inc.'s growth is expected to be 8.31%, and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc.'s growth is expected to be 8.84%. Sodastream is going to be the only company with double digit growth. Sodastream International is going to pull this growth from primarily the Americas and Asia-Pacific, both regions that house emerging market economies. On top of all of that, Sodastream International has a price to earnings to growth ratio of 0.56, which is well below the level of 1 where the ratio is fairly valued. Just take a look at Sodastream's sales (black bar), operating profit (yellow bar), net income (green bar), net margin (green line), and operating margin (yellow line) over the coming years.
Innovative Product: More Convenient and A Wider Selection
Sodastream's claim to fame is its innovative and fresh perspective of soda, sparkling water, and energy drinks. No longer does the consumer need to take a trip down to the nearest store to buy a 2-liter bottle of soda, and have to worry about it going flat. Now once he/she buys a Sodastream drink maker, carbonator, and their favorite syrup bottle, he/she can make delicious and affordable soda, sparkling water, and energy drinks. Each liter of the selective beverage will cost the consumer only about $0.50 to $1.00 depending on the syrup type. The Sodastream system is not only more convenient, but it offers over 100 different types of syrups. From Cranberry Raspberry to Cola, there is a flavor for every taste bud. This personal and customized approach for Sodastream has and will continue to take away from the soda giants, but the beverage giants will continue to grow as everyone on the world cannot afford the additional costs related to upholding a Sodastream system. When push comes to shove, Sodastream International has a more personalized and customizable way to create classic and widely consumed beverages.
The Foolish Bottom Line
Sodastream International is facing some fierce competition, as it is unlikely The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Inc., and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. will give up the beverage throne cheeringly. In addition, Sodastream may be affected by the slowdown in Europe as nearly 50% of their revenue was derived from Western Europe, as of March 31st, 2012. Despite these fears, Sodastream International has underlying growth that seems extremely predictable as the majority of it is coming from the Americas and China. Furthermore, Sodastream is an innovative company that changes the market. Sodastream may be down on its luck recently, but most certainly still has plenty of fizz left in it.

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) -- Peter Odemwingie scored a hat trick as West Bromwich Albion beat local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-1 in the Premier League on Sunday.
Steven Fletcher canceled out Odenwingie's opener to level the scores at 1-1 at the break before West Brom ran away with the game in the second half.
Two more goals from Odemwingie and strikes from captain Jonas Olsson and former Wolves midfielder Keith Andrews completed the rout to leave Wolves outside the relegation zone on goal difference and moved West Brom up to 14th.
West Brom had never previously scored more than four in a Premier League game and the result will cast further doubt over the future of Wolves manager Mick McCarthy.

We had originally booked another unit and were disappointed. The staff were incredibly helpful, even offering to stay late until we found a unit we liked. Thanks to you all. 103 Crimson was perfect for us. It was like home away from home. The unit was spotless and the pool and hot tub were always really clean. The units and pool area are secure. We would definately consider returning to this unit. The only drawback we found - there is not a lot for kids to do.

My husband and I and two teen-age children spent a very relaxing 4 days at Crimson Condo Unit #103 in August. The 3-bedroom unit had very large rooms including 3 full bathrooms which was wonderful! The unit said side beach view but the view was very close to beachfrot. The HUGE balcony was also a wonderful treat. The management staff was very attentive to our requests. The kids loved that they could walk right across the street to John's Pass for shopping/dining. I would stay in this building again.

Now that Christmas is over we have slowed down and are just enjoying the few days that we have before we jump back in to the crazy busy schedule of school and work. It has been quite nice to sleep in, drink coffee in my pajamas, cook meals at home, keep a neat house, and enjoy my boys.
They have stayed up way too late, work many puzzles, played outside, colored lots of pictures, watched a few movies, and have really bonded as brothers during our days together. I must say that I am so thankful to have a job that allows me the chance to have this time, even if it is only two weeks in December.
I only have two days left this week to enjoy these boys all to myself.
But I plan to make every...single...second count.
God sure knew what he was doing when he gave me these two.
2013 was a year full of many fun memories with them. Colson is no longer a baby boy. He has changed into a little man full of so much personality! I just sit and watch him sometimes as he is so animated in his facial expressions and has so much to say. Cooper has matured so much in his second year of kindergarten. He is reading fluently now and writes paragraphs. He asks more questions than I ever imagined humanly possible and has a memory that sometimes just stops me in my tracks.
I can't wait to see what 2014 holds for my sweet little family.
Happy New Years!

Same president, same challenges
Seems the market was surprisingly surprised by Obama's win. With that uncertainty out of the way, the market's near-term course should become clearer.
Though President Barack Obama had been reported leading in virtually all the polls for some time, it would seem that the stock market had not been handicapping him as the winner, given that the market gapped aggressively lower on Wednesday in the wake of his victory. In fact, it took less than two hours for the market to shed just under 3%.
For those folks who had correctly expected this election outcome, you might have been scratching your head at how the market managed to hold together leading up to an election that was likely to result in dividend and capital-gains tax rate hikes, in addition to the fiscal cliff.
Of course, we don't know for sure that we will go over the cliff, as the can may get kicked down the road. But certainly from an economic perspective, there is not much chance that the next couple of years are going to be very different from the last four, i.e., pretty subpar from a gross-domestic-product and job-generation standpoint.
Thus, it will be up to low interest rates to keep some sort of a bid in the equity market.
I know that the hypnotized never lie
Now that the election is over and the market faces the reality of discounting those outcomes, the near-term direction of the market may be clearer and lower.
My recent strategy has been to short S&P futures, which I have done a couple of times for some brief trades. (Given that we have so many crosscurrents, holding any speculative position for very long is difficult and potentially dangerous, and not an advisable strategy for amateur investors to employ. And for the record, for me precious metals are not a speculative position, as that is a sector I have been involved in -- and expect to be involved in -- for some time.)
As regular readers know, I expect at some point the bond market will revolt, and though it is hard to say when, I was somewhat intrigued to hear on Tuesday night that a decent chunk of respondents to exit polls thought rising prices were our No. 1 problem. This is decidedly not what one would expect in the midst of a supposed deflationary period.
I have noted many times that declining prices in certain asset classes (such as real estate, which has stabilized for various price points and locales) is not deflation, so there is no point in rehashing all of that. And in the meantime, now that we have gotten our election out of the way, we can turn our attention to what the new leadership in China looks like, and what sort of stimulus programs its new leaders might have up their sleeves.
And from our à la carte menu, Apple turnover surprise
Speaking of tricks up one's sleeve, I am probably going to shock a few folks, but I decided to buy some near-dated Apple (AAPL) calls early this week (even though, as I said in a recent column, I think Apple's stock price has most likely peaked) after talking to Fred Hickey and reading his newsletter last weekend. (As an aside, if you have not subscribed to The High-Tech Strategist, I cannot recommend it more highly.)
As anyone who has read Hickey's most recent report knows, it is very likely that Apple will have an extremely strong quarter, yet, meanwhile, the stock has been in the penalty box. Thus, this is a bit of a contrary trade, and again, it is not a recommended course for most individual investors. But it will give me a bit of exposure to Apple's upside if the market decides it wants to rally in the wake of the election. The reason I chose to buy the calls, which expire before this column will be posted, is that I can limit my risk to a few dollars while Apple itself can swing wildly.
While it is very important to have conviction in your investment strategies, it is sometimes even more important to be flexible in your thinking. This trade on my part is certainly an example of that, as well as being contrary, given the recent performance of Apple's stock price.
S&P does not support this message
I was curious to see how the 1,400 level would hold on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) following the election, as that appeared to be a floor recently. But the first time the Spooz (S&P futures market) traded down to that level during Wednesday's session, it punched through it to 1,385 before bouncing. Meanwhile, the chart of the Nasdaq ($COMPX) looks even worse, as that index is now not only below its 200-day moving average, but gapped through it on Wednesday.
This sort of action is precisely the reason I was willing to squander only a few dollars on my Apple calls, which were basically a way to participate on the upside should the market have decided to rally in the wake of a victory for Mitt Romney.
At the time of publication, Bill Fleckenstein did not own or control shares of any company mentioned in this column.
We have reached the tipping point and there is no road back. The freeloaders feeding at the government trough now outnumber the producers who have to pay for their "entitlements".
We have sent to Washington to people who do not promote self-reliance and foster an atmosphere of prosperity as Jefferson and the founders envisioned. Instead, we have sent those who will give away cash and services creating a permanent dependency on an ever growing, ever more despotic government.
I fear for my children and my country.
Homosexuals and lesbians who want to be able to get married when they are not molesting children.
Women in the northeast who want free handouts of birth control pills.
Women who want free abortions, paid for by the government.
Union workers who want government backing when their demands on management are harmful to the company operations.
Schemers who want free money from the government to support their greed.
Bankers, who want free money from the government to bail them out when their greed and incompetence causes them to financially ruin their institutions.
These people have voted into office a guy who hates the US, its history, its founders and all white people. They have voted into office a guy whose only known associates during his adult life are a racketeer, terrorists, a communists, socialists and a so called preacher who hates the US and all white people. They voted into office a guy who, in his first term, appointed tax cheats and people who totally lacked competence and experience in any field to which they were assigned.
The very sad thing is the people who voted for obama and do not fall into those categories. People who were so naive that the liberal media was able to manipulate them at will.
I have heard on several occasions that the republican loss was due to Tea Party. The media has taken every opportunity to discredit the Tea Party in the eyes of the republicans and those on the Right. I hope that no one will be taken in by this deception, created because they know the Tea Party and its agenda are good for the US and the future of the US.
At the moment Tea Party is the only hope for the United States of American.
Thing's that make you say H'mmmm!
Keep blaming Bush, and Obama did not make happen what he promised from his 1st campaign! No I did not vote for Obama either time, because I did not feel he could get the job done, and didn't! But this whole fiscal crises is a result of people living beyond there means. If you cannot afford it then don't buy it! I've always lived within my means! No mansion, no big flashy cars etc. Home is paid for, cars are paid for, saved for my retirement no pension. Let's put the blame where it belongs on the people who brought those big home and other item they could not afford, and then defaulted!
"I seriously doubt that it was the reelection of President Obama that freaked out the markets so much as the simple fact that 1) we're stuck again with a lame duck congress situation and 2) things in Europe are getting worse not better,"
Ya, "things in Europe" magically got worse in the three days since the election!
Too far down the road to blame Bush.
Don't want to see the truth as it unfolds,
Blame Europe this time around.
same pres ,same rhetoric, same outcome, same failure, same pres, same rhetoric, same outcome, same lies, SAME PLUS MORE OF THE SAME!
thanx 3 milion idiots for not using your most powerfull weapon, the voting one!! now look where the fckk we are, each time you look in the mirror you'll see the reason we're right back where we started, the only difference?? it's gonna get worse!! didn't think that was possible, didn't want to think it
meanwhile major firms are announcing firings/layoffs if this bastard osama was re-elected, NOT SOMETHING THE UNEMPLOYED AND DESPERATE TO GO BACK TO WORK WANT TO HEAR!!!!!
To put it bluntly, I have paid into the system for 40 yrs. slowly saved a 401k and now for the begining of the silver yrs for me they want to raise capital gains, the only thing I have and a small amount at that so they can continue spending and borrowing rampantly. Why did we keep the same senate, house, and president in?
Abe Lincoln
the only way the left sees us succeeding is by taking from one and to give to the other. What they don't understand is, when there is nothing to take anymore. You'll have total chaos. Like Greece.
remember the movie Titanic? see if that's not a great metaphor for AMerica today.
(obama is elected) ship hits the iceberg (the democraps, aka welfare pimps, have a majority in house/senate) it starts to take on water (bailouts begin stimulus ) ships taken on more water, this time is faster and faster sinkin' deeper and deeper (800 billion lost on failed 'green' energy bullshiit) she starts to dive deeper beneath the cold Arctic ocean (obama's re-elected) the ship breaks in 2 and she goes down taking' countless lives with her, 'nuff said, I mean that about covers it, does'n't it? depressing isn't it.
welcome to the new normal people, that's what you elected, AGAIN! damn shame is what it is, damn shame!

5 Rocket Stocks Ready to Rally This Week
Cognizant Technology Solutions
While outsourcing becomes a hot topic on the election circuit this year, New Jersey-based Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) is making big business of it. The firm is one of the biggest providers of outsourced IT services, ranging from software development to computer network maintenance. This $20 billion firm's unique model should help it to continue to capture the dollars that U.S. companies can't afford to spend here at home.
Cognizant is like a number of other outsourcing firms based in India - the company has a workforce with advanced technology expertise who demand less money than their developed country counterparts. But CTSH's big coup was deciding to base themselves here in the U.S., where they can avoid the cultural conflicts that purely Indian firms sometimes run into. That's also helped to fuel a more lucrative U.S.-based consulting business that acts as a complement to the outsourced work that its teams do. The combination has helped to fuel net margins that consistently come in above 14%.As the economy continues to convalesce, companies looking for places to cut costs are honing in on cost centers like IT departments. That should help keep Cognizant's impressive growth on pace for the next few years. A debt-free balance sheet with more than $2.4 billion in cash on hand doesn't hurt either.

Providing Consumer Reviews - A Viable Business Model?
Gail is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In addition to being an investor, I'm a business owner and my lives are constantly overlapping. When we were recently contacted by Angie's List (NASDAQ: ANGI) to renew our advertising contract for another year, I was pretty surprised. Our Account Manager sent us an email requesting a 71% increase in our advertising rate to stay at the same level as 2012 and a 27% increase in price if we decrease our ad size by a third. This is on top of the 160% increase we agreed to for 2012. With those kinds of revenue hikes, I thought that Angie's List must be an amazing investment. Please follow along with me as I look into the news and financial results of Angie's List. For comparisons sake, I'll also look at Yelp (NYSE: YELP) and TripAdvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP).
My Process:
When I look at a new company, the first thing I do is enter its earnings results into a spreadsheet template that's I've created. Once I enter the numbers, Excel performs its magic and spits out all of the ratios and growth rates I'll need. The primary company I'm looking at gets a thorough going over with revenues and expenses broken down by segments. I look at the comparison companies at a much higher level.
What I Found:
Angie's business model is to provide reputable service providers to its members and to provide high quality customers to its advertisers. Its revenue comes from two sources. The company currently receives about 32% of its income from member fees and about 68% from advertisers.
This ratio between revenue streams is interesting to study:
Over the years, the percentage of revenue from members has been decreasing. And, while the actual revenue from memberships has been increasing, it is increasing at a slower rate. Membership increased 34.5% YOY from 2010 to 2011 but only 29.4% when comparing the most recent four quarters to FY2011 results. (As a comparison, the rate of revenue change from service providers for the same time period is relatively flat.) As a business owner, I wonder if Angie's will be able to reverse that trend. Advertising as a Service Provider in an organization like Angie's List only makes sense so long as membership continues to grow at an increased rate. If the rate of member growth slows, advertising is much less attractive.
Other items of note from Angie's Balance Sheet include Retained Earnings continuing to decline, and, despite an influx of cash in 2011, a Quick Ratio of only 0.8.
In addition, the number of days that it takes Angie's to collect its receivables and to pay its bills are both increasing dramatically. In 2010, it took Angie's about a month to collect on receivables. That has changed to more than two months as reported for the quarter ended September 2012. Similarly, in 2010, it took Angie's about five months to pay for AP, but almost 8 months as reported in the MRQ. While I know from my previous look at inventory turnover that these ratios can't be used to predict stock price, they are alarming indicators nonetheless.
Taking a look at Yelp and TripAdvisor provides additional context. TripAdvisor is a viable and profitable company with a positive P/E and healthy profit margins. Yelp went public in March of this year with an offering price of $15. And, while Yelp is still in its infancy, its profit margins are much more impressive than Angie's List. For comparison, take a look at the gross and profit margins for the three firms as well as their current and projected stock prices:
ANGI: Angie's List continues to grow its revenue base and decrease its expenses. These are good things. Though I am thinking twice about renewing my advertising contract with the company, I believe that the stock will provide good results in the short term. When analysts start predicting positive earnings, it will be time to jump in with a larger portion of your portfolio.
YELP: I'm a cautious investor, and while Wall Street is predicting significant gains in stock price for Yelp over the next year, there is not enough history for me to feel comfortable making a recommendation.
TRIP: Based on my research into these three companies, I would recommend a long term investment in TripAdvisor. This appears to be a solid firm. In addition, Deutche Bank last week upgraded their recommendation to Buy with a one year price target of $50.

Molecule of the Week
Fluoroantimonic acid
April 9, 2007
Fluoroantimonic acid (HSbF6), the strongest known superacid, is made by combining HF with SbF5. It can be as much as 2 × 1019 times stronger than 100% H2SO4. However, superacids are all equally strong in aqueous solution; other solvents must be used to observe their effects.

Tuscany has been popular for many years and is visited daily by a mass of tourists who explore its entire length and breadth; from Pisa and Lucca to Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano, and all places in a between, but it is still possible to find a few places in Tuscany that have been overlooked or even missed completely. Pistoia is one such town, this hidden jewel, located in the north of Tuscany.
Pistoia is everything Italian and is truly Tuscan; it can be busy, bustling and sometimes even has traffic congestion and yet at other times it is sleepy, peaceful and reverts to a previous era of Italian life.
Well what has Pistoia got that makes it such a jewel? In the Basilica Madonna Dell'Umiltà, Pistoia boasts the 3rd largest cupola in Italy after Rome and Florence. The historical town centre with its concentration of buildings and monuments has a lovely medieval Piazza del Duomo Square surrounded by ancient streets most of which are traffic free. It has a twice weekly market on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, a haven for genuine bargains and it is a market truly geared for the locals. Pistoia also boasts some very chic clothes and shoe shops with all the latest designs and colours and not at the lavish prices found in most other Italian cities. But be warned, this town shuts completely between 1pm and 3pm every day; a good excuse to search out and sample some of the great cafes, bars and restaurants.
Most evenings from 7pm the locals visit their favourite bar or cafe to take an aperitif, sadly this is now being referred to more and more as a "happy hour", snacks and canapés are served free and people relax and catch up with friends and all the latest news and gossip over a cocktail or glass of "prosecco".
The best bars in town are the centrally located "Caffe Cavour" and the ultra trendy "Santopalato" (the holy one). The restaurant of Santa Maria del Giglio is housed in a converted chapel and is truly stunning, while traditional Tuscan dishes are served daily in Pistoia's oldest eatery "Lo Storno". Further a field, but well worth the extra effort, is "Il Frantoio" in Via Valdibrana where they serve the best food in the entire area.
The "passeggiata" is still a highlight of this town's week and on Saturday evenings from 5pm the youngest "Pistoiese" parade their fashion around the town centre. At 6pm they are joined by the older inhabitants who are certainly the most stylish and sophisticated. Afterwards everyone heads back home or on to a bar or restaurant. An informal "passeggiata" also takes place each Sunday in the late afternoon.
If you want to explore Pistoia's culture then the silver alter of San Jacopo housed in the main cathedral of San Zeno (what a great name for a saint) is located in Piazza del Duomo along with the Bell Tower and the octagonal baptistery of San Giovanni in Corte and Pistoia's main museum (Museo Civico). The church facade of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas in Via Cavour and the Basilica Madonna Dell'Umiltà with its magnificent dome, planned by Vasari, is located in Via Della Madonna. The Ospedale del Ceppo with its frieze by Della Robbia is magnificent and the many churches in the town have great examples of ornate pulpits and splendid musical organs, the best of which are to be found in the churches of ; San Francesco, Sant' Andrea, Spirito Santo and San Bartolomeo in Pantano Pistoia hosts the world famous "Pistoia Blues" festival each July and past headliners include; Bob Dylan and Santana. This mammoth 3 day festival takes place in Piazza del Duomo as does "Giostra dell'Orso (the tournament of the bear) where the four ancient districts of Pistoia compete in a grand and colourful equestrian tournament on the 25th July to celebrate the feast of San Jacopo (St James), Pistoia's patron saint.
Amongst Pistoia's many famous sons are; Giorgio Rospilgoisi who became Pope Clemente 1X (1660-69), the artist and sculptor, Marino Marini (1901-1980) whose works are displayed in the Palazzo del Tau, and the architect Giovanni Mechullucci (1891- 1990) whose documents and plans are housed in the mezzanine of the town hall.
For children, Pistoia boasts a small but well maintained zoo and Collodi, 20 minutes away, is the birthplace of Carlo Lorenzini the author of the world famous story of Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who dreams of being a real boy. The author's restored house and gardens are set in a themed park based on the puppet's adventures. While, Vinci, Siena and the lovely national park area of Garfagnana are all within easy reach of Pistoia by car.
The train and bus links from Pistoia make it a fantastic base from which to explore other parts of northern Tuscany. The train-line runs west to the coast with stops at the chic' spa town of Montecatini, (10 minutes away), and on to; Lucca, Pisa and Viareggio. Florence to the east is only 30 minutes away.
If you take the time to search out this hidden jewel in Tuscany's crown you will not be disappointed. And if you truly want to sample Italian life the Tuscan way then a visit to Pistoia is a must!

A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, have shown their newborn baby boy to the world. Kate carried the future monarch outside St. Mary's Hospital in central London Tuesday so he could be photographed by the waiting press. Kate told reporters, "It's very emotional. It's such a special time." She said, "I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like." She then gave the baby to her husband, who said, "He's got her looks, thankfully." He added, "He's a big boy. He's quite heavy." And when he was asked about the baby's hair, he said, "He's got way more than me, thank God." William said he and his wife are still deciding what to name the baby. They then re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William then drove them away. Palace officials said they were headed to an apartment in Kensington Palace. Today's much-anticipated appearance outside the hospital recalls a similar event three decades ago. Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried the newborn William out to pose for photographs on the same steps in 1982. (AP)

FEMA: Color Us Pissed!
One image in a FEMA coloring book made us see red.
A coloring book on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's website, designed to help children cope with disasters, seemed innocent enough.
But when we stumbled upon the illustration of the World Trade Center in flames, with a plane heading toward it, we were less than pleased.
We weren't the only ones who were disturbed. In fact, FEMA has even taken the image off its website. They also issued the following statement:
"We removed the content from our website after reviewing www.FEMA.gov for appropriate material. FEMA for kids assists children in understanding disasters and we will continue to post appropriate material that supports its mission," said John Shea with FEMA.
What do you think? Is 9/11 appropriate for a coloring book, or is this just wrong?
See Also:
I like it. How else are kids going to learn about 9/11? I mean, should we be keeping 9/11 a secret from our kids? No. The picture isn't very graphic. I don't see a problem with it at all. I wish they would keep it because I would like to have it for my kids.
I agree with Nicole - why do people have to raise such a hoopla about stuff like this? Moms, if you don't want YOUR kids to see this, then don't download it and give it to them! It's not your mission in life to tell the rest of us how we should tell our children about 9/11.
I also do not see anything inappropriate - it's clear the context of the page in question is to help children "cope" with disasters partially by telling them what it might be like. And the text on that page is absolutely correct.
Once again, political correctness has run amok.
I agree completely with Nicole and Amy. We as a country can not forget that this happened and I see nothing wrong with the pictures. Sometimes I get so confused by the way people react to something. I read the post from the racial mom who hopes that her 4 year old son turns out to be gay and so many people responded postitively to it but yet we have moms out there freakin out because their kids might learn something about our history…go figure.
This book is just another political indoctrination tool aimed at using fear to manipulate future generations. I'd like to see a coloring book about Katrina or the OK City bombing where children were killed at the daycare center there. Where are THOSE coloring books?
Coloring books are for very young children. Ages three and four. They are not able to handle this type of information without creating unneccessary fears.
FEMA so far has been an expensive bad joke
When you're in uncomfortable position and have got no cash to go out from that, you would have to receive the www.lowest-rate-loans.com. Just because it will help you emphatically. I take financial loan every year and feel fine just because of it.
In every tom's life, at some time, our inner pep goes out. It is then bust into passion at near an face with another hominoid being. We should all be thankful recompense those people who rekindle the inner inspiration
I don't like the sound of all those lists he's making - it's like taking too many notes at philosophy; you experience you've achieved something when you haven't.
In harry's life, at some dated, our inner throw goes out. It is then bust into zeal at hand an contend with with another magnanimous being. We should all be thankful for the duration of those people who rekindle the inner spirit
