Comments On Apr 09, 2013:was missing a part when i got it that forced me to send it back for another. takes some wiring knowledge to figure out, directions dont help much. however, looks really cool on my drz400

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:I wired this in to run all 3 lights on full time. Provides a decent amount of light - certainly enough for on road but I would add auxillary lighting for use if riding fast offroad. After a couple of years the metal stress relief clamps at the bulb had worn through the wire sheath and created a ground. Was easy to fix but something to watch for.

Comments On Mar 26, 2011:This light proved to be much brighter than the stock headlight on my 07 Husqvarna SMR510 even with the stock stator. The wiring was straight forward and it mounted up with no issues.

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:Put it on my KTM 525 SX. Looks great and super bright. Low beam is really good...but high beam is awesome. It mounts with rubber brackets and I wonder how long they will last, that's the only reason I gave it a 4. There is a little vibration over the rough stuff, but not considerably more than hard mounts.

HOPKINTON ŌĆō The Hopkinton Town Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday to present to the Chariho School District pertaining to student and school security.
The councilors were in agreement that the school district should use monies from its current budget to finance necessary school repairs to improve safety, instead of creating an additional line item.
WAKEFIELD ŌĆō As 2013 draws to an end for the South Kingstown football team, the casual observers will never get the full story for the RebelŌĆÖs season just by looking at the raw numbers.
On the surface, the Rebels are 2-6 in Division I (3-6 overall) and on the wrong end of the standings. A handful of plays, however, can swing the fate of a football team. To come so close, yet end on the wrong side has been SouthŌĆÖs plight this fall and Friday nightŌĆÖs 40-19 loss to Cranston East was no different than many of the others the Rebels have suffered through this season.
Joe TrainerŌĆÖs five-year run as the head football coach at the University of Rhode Island came to an end Monday morning when the 43-year-old was released from his contract with one year remaining.
Trainer, who led the Rams to a 3-9 season after they didnŌĆÖt win a game in 2012, saw his URI career come to an end following a 41-0 defeat to Maine. The Rams were outscored 191-27 in the last four games of the season.
For more information, pick up the most recent edition of The Narragansett Times
As the 2013 opener approached, South Kingstown boys soccer coach Scott Rollins was leery about putting any preconceived expectations on the season.
Yes, Rebel soccer has a long-standing tradition of being amongst the best in Rhode Island and Rollins felt like the playoffs were once again in the cards, but every year brings a new team and new circumstances. Other than getting back to the postseason, SouthŌĆÖs coach was mum on any set expectations.
For more information, pick up this week's copy of The Narragansett Times
PROVIDENCEŌĆöThere is still hope for the Narragansett football team.
Needing a win to keep their chances of making the Division III playoff alive the Mariners turned in an impressive defensive performance in a 28-11 win at Classical Saturday afternoon.
ŌĆ£Playing on the road against Classical theyŌĆÖre always very athletic,ŌĆØ Narragansett coach Dick Fossa said after the win. ŌĆ£They have the ability to run it and throw the ball but we needed to stick to our game plan and play with the intensity we had with Mount Pleasant. We felt if we did that weŌĆÖd have a very good chance of winning.ŌĆØ
NARRAGANSETT- The Narragansett Town Council discussed the zoning change request by South County Tourism Council to move their office headquarters to 375 Kingstown Road during a public hearing on Monday.
The current owner, the South County Jewish Collaborative, and the potential owner, the South County Tourism Council (SCTC), have submitted a petition to amend the future land use map of the townŌĆÖs comprehensive plan to change the designation of the property from residential to commercial use.
WAKEFIELD ŌĆō The Washington County Grand Jury indicted Robert M. Taylor Friday with the May murder of his mother, Allison Taylor.
The grand jury indicted Taylor on charges of murder, mutilation of a corpse, two counts of larceny less than $1,500, and vandalism.
Taylor, 45, allegedly brutally murdered and dismembered his mother, 65, on at some point between May 3 and May 7 at a Caswell Street apartment.
For the full story, pick up this week's edition of The Narragansett Times
PORTSMOUTHŌĆöThe shore along Town Pond in Portsmouth is thick with mud, enough to clasp down on anyoneŌĆÖs boot and keep it fastened there for a moment. Broken shells litter the beach, and the waterŌĆÖs surface is choppy because of the winds coming off Narragansett Bay. Here is the perfect environment for shellfish cultivation, and as coastal ponds throughout Rhode Island are being utilized for their shellfishing bounty, the public is growing more aware of the ecological and economic benefits of aquaculture to the state.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Rowland Hazard was among nine prominent Rhode Islanders from the early 20th century who were inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame on Sunday.
Hazard, born in 1829, was an eighth generation descendant of Thomas Hazard, one of the nine founders of Newport.
COVENTRYŌĆö Beginning his military career at the age of 17, Capt. Richard Gaudet traveled to numerous countries and fought in multiple wars and prior to his recent retirement he was the last Vietnam veteran to be an active-duty Rhode Island National Guardsman.
Capt. Gaudet, who resides in Coventry, enlisted into the Army in 1971, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.
ŌĆ£I think ever since I was a child I was interested in the military,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£My grandfather served in World War I, my father served in World War II and my older brother served in Vietnam.ŌĆØ

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful card
Living Dream Save the Date Magnets It was very easy to do and their just beautiful I was very happy with the whole site
Love how much you can personalize them!
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets After having received Save the Date magnets from Magnet Street from two friends, and countless searches across other companies, I kept coming back to Magnet Street to create my designs. I love that you can change the colors and fonts to anything you want, not just a pre-determined 5 or 6 colors that other companies let you pick from. This really let me feel like these were MY Save the Dates that no one else would have. The online customer service team is fantastic as well, answering any questions I had as I designed. Once they were ordered, they shipped very quickly to my parents' house in Ohio (I live in the UK.) The quality is very good and I liked the box of extras that it came with. My only complaint is they don't deliver to the UK, so all my orders will have to be shipped to my parents.
love the idea od magnets
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets Exellent design, and ideas, easy in operations and placing the order
great team
Field of Love Save the Date Magnets I picked a design I liked but didn't love and the designer team followed my instructions and made it exactly what I wanted. My save the dates look great and my very excited to send them. If possible I'll use magnet street for my invitations!
Perfect magnet and excellent customer service!
Living Dream Save the Date Magnets Received a lot of compliments on this magnet, I was very happy with it- good quality. I liked the medium sized one (I think it was 3x5?)--4x6 is a little big and the business card size is a little small. Had to deal w/Customer Service when their was a small issue w/the order but they were EXELLENT and resolved the issue immediately. I would definitely order from this company again.

Top picks from S&P: CVS Caremark
CVS, quick to capitalize on its rival's troubles, also stands to gain from the implementation of health reforms.
By Joseph Agnese, S&P Capital IQ, The Outlook
Sector: Food & Drug Retailers
CVS Caremark (CVS) operates one of the largest drug store chains and pharmacy benefit managers in the U.S. As of December 2012, the company had stores in 92 of the top-100 U.S. drug store markets and held the largest or second- largest share in 74 of these markets.
It filled more than 718 million prescriptions in 2012, accounting for about 21% of the U.S. retail pharmacy market. Pharmacy operations are critical to CVS's success, in our view, accounting for 69% of retail store sales in 2012.
Sales rose 12% in 2011, reflecting new customer wins and the acquisition of Universal American's (UAM 8.65 NR) Part D business. In 2012, sales rose 15% on retail drug store market share gains due to a contractual conflict between Walgreen (WAG) and pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts.
Margins widened in 2012 as a number of large branded drugs lost patent protection, which resulted in a significant rise in high margin generic-drug sales. We see margins widening further in 2013.
We believe CVS is well positioned to benefit from the retention of the majority of its recent retail market share gains, increased drug use by an aging population, and increased sales of generic drugs.
Additionally, we expect demand to rise as more consumers get health insurance with the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that begins in 2014.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Neal Brown plans to bring the 'Air Raid' offense to Kentucky. He says it won't take long to install the up-tempo, passing offense, it can be done quickly.
The Wildcats new offensive coordinator said Tuesday he plans to employ the offense that helped Texas Tech's offense rank in the top 15 nationally during his three seasons there.
Brown, hired Dec. 10, learned the nuts-and-bolts of the offense playing wide receiver at Kentucky under coach Hal Mumme from 1998-2000. He adopted the philosophy as a coach and helped Troy's offense thrive with it for two years before going to the Red Raiders.
The Louisville native faces a big challenge with the Wildcats, whose offense ranked next to last in the Southeastern Conference this past season at 315 yards per game.

Are there any home remedies for laryngitis?
It is reasonable not to seek medical care for most cases of laryngitis. Home treatment begins with resting the voice and keeping well hydrated. Symptoms may be controlled by exposure to humidified air. Often, the bathroom is the best place to create a highly humidified area.
- Turn on the hot water in the shower until there is plenty of steam.
- Make certain that all the hot water is drained from the tub or shower to prevent the risk of scalding burns.
- Spend 15- 20 minutes breathing the warm moist air to help with symptoms.
A cold water vaporizer may also be used to help with humidity. Avoid hot water vaporizers because of the risk of scalding burns.
Stay well hydrated, especially if the pain makes it difficult to swallow fluid.
Warm water gargles may be soothing. Alternatively, popsicles may offer comfort.
Tylenol and/or ibuprofen may be helpful in decreasing the amount of pain.
Learn more about: Tylenol
What are the complications of laryngitis?
If the cause of laryngitis is vocal cord paralysis, the swallowing mechanism may also be affected, and food particles may enter the larynx and lungs, leading to coughing. This process can also lead to aspiration pneumonia and its accompanying symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath) when the food is aspirated deep into the lungs and causes irritation and inflammation of lung tissue.
Repeated episodes of gastroesophageal reflux may cause small amounts of acid to get past the inflamed larynx and enter the lung, causing recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis.
Prior to the advent of Haemophilus influenzae immunization, epiglottitis due to H. flu was always considered as a possible alternative diagnosis for children with croup. This was a life-threatening medical emergency because the epiglottis could massively swell, blocking air from entering the larynx and lungs. X-rays of the neck were taken to visualize the epiglottis and look for swelling. The diagnosis was often confirmed in the operating room where the otolaryngologist and anesthesiologist would use laryngoscopy to look at the epiglottis and vocal cords and decide whether to insert a breathing tube in the child's airway to prevent the airway from swelling shut. Fortunately, because of immunization, this disease is rarely seen.

That illustrious, verifiable source we know as The Internet says that Freaknic (sic) is coming back. "The Official Atlanta Freaknic Site" says it'll be April 16-18 in Washington Park. It also says that the 2010 theme is "Super Freak," and that "Freaknic is a private event for members only. You must register on this site and pledge to not break the law." It adds, "There are no nude pictures on this Web site."
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says no way. Or rather, "I don't believe it will materialize and it's not my intention for the city to be supportive of it." He points out that nobody has filed for a permit. It's not clear who the organizers of the Web site are.
Freaknik started in the 1980s as a picnic for college kids who couldn't travel during spring break, but by the mid-1990s, it was a street party that drew about 200,000 students, mostly from historically black college and universities. It was notorious for gridlock caused by cruising and wretched treatment of women. It ended in 1999 when the city imposed hard-core restrictions.
And yet, there are always rumbles of it coming back, and plenty who had great experiences at Freaknik over the years.
An AJC story quoted Councilman Ivory Young as saying "Freaknik as it was previously defined can't work for Atlanta," but he made the point, too, that the city should be prepared for "any crowd of folks," who want to stay in town and spend some money.
What do you think? Would you welcome Freaknik back? Should the city? Can Freaknik make a comeback as a safe party for all, and without traffic mayhem, or should it stay a thing of the past?

I was a high school senior at Redan High in 94… outkast was on the radio… freaknic was just about fun and hanging out and celebrating youth… as I got older and went to G State It peaked and declined with the lack of support from the city. It could have been a great revenue generation source for the city, but instead they chose to start shutting down streets and re directing traffic… why were these kids not embraced like other events?
I feel that Freaknic can never be the same and as a father now I would rather see Freaknik as a thing of the past. Atlanta does not support these sort of events. They will lock you up and throw away the key. I suggest people go to Daytona FL, South beach FL, or Myrtle beach SC.
February 25th, 2010
8:33 am
Absolutely not! Crime has increased and the ATL has changed drematically since the days of Freaknik. It used to be a fun event full of people having a good time like a huge block party but now I am afraid with the increase of the thug and gangster mentality it would be a combination for violence.Atlanta has changed so much that this event would have too many negative consequences and would not be the great party it once was for our city.

The wild, sexy and provocative electro-rocker Peaches has been dabbling in her DJ side, teasing fans across Australia through her recent blitz of the nation. By Jordana Borensztajn.
Despite releasing her fifth delivery I Feel Cream just a few months back, the Canadian wild cat – aka Merrill Beth Nisker – admits to Nova that she has a crafty reason for choosing to be Peaches the DJ rather than Peaches the performer on this visit Down Under.
Knowing Aussies are probably pining to see her perform her recent killer tracks "Talk to Me," "Lose You," as well as old favourites like "Kick It" and "Set It Off," in a bar in Fitzroy, Peaches explains her goal is to offer up a spicy and saucy taste of what's to come. "I like to tease people," the very funky and articulate artist admits, fresh off a plane in Melbourne on the back of a wild night in Perth. "I like to tease and keep you waiting because I'll be back with a full band and the full shebang."
In the meantime, Peaches has been kicking up a storm. She says Aussie crowds have been totally out of control, and her DJ experience so far has been nothing less than a whirlwind adventure. "I've been getting down and dirty. It's been messy. And it's pretty crazy, pretty messy, pretty wild," she laughs. "At some point in the night, the stage gets rushed and the CDs get drenched. So all my CDs are drenched in champagne – sticky champagne – so I have to clean them off."
The image that's evoked here – where fans are pouring champagne all over Peaches' music collection while she's on stage – is very tame compared to the type of behavior she typically incites in her audiences. Best known for her explicit and sexually-provoking music, it's fair to say Peaches' energy, delivery, commentary and electricity undoubtedly propels her into a league of her own as a performer.
Whether she's DJing or delivering full stage shows, Peaches always puts in the maximum amount of effort. "I just give 100 per cent, not even 100, 500 per cent of my energy, every show. I put so much effort into it… and it just works. It's my thing," she says.
While a lot of artists invest time and planning into trying to be as creative as possible to deliver a wholesome entertainment package to fans, for this Canadian songbird, it all comes naturally. In fact, since the beginning of her career she's offered far more than just music to her audiences.
"When I started, I put myself in a very compromising position, shall I say, because I was a pioneer. I took electro music in, kind of, a punk style – which was not really anywhere to be found – and made it very minimal and gave very direct, and let's say explicit – to some people – lyrics," she says.
"And it seemed to press a button with some people in a really good way. Although I wasn't very commercial, everybody knew my songs, and to me that was really cool. I started 10 years ago with The Teaches of Peaches and that was before YouTube or Facebook and my songs were known to people all over without a video or radio play or anything. "I'm not a very planned person and I'm not a very calculated person. I'm the real deal so I don't need to be a package. It just happens."
While some elements of her live shows are mapped out, she says there's always a strong element of the 'unknown.' Not only does this keep it fresh but it gives her room to keep up with the crowd at each show. The wilder the audience, the more Peaches she puts out.
"When there are 100, 200 or 1000 people, I have to rise to the occasion of how many people are there. So when I'm talking to you, I'm one-on-one but when I'm performing, I'm obviously just projecting and just giving the full Peaches experiences as more of a one-on-5000," she explains. "Peaches the performer is very creative. No matter how planned it is, it's always improvisational. I'll always be walking on people in the crowd – not stage diving – but actually walking on them. That's my latest trick. I spin on them. It's really fun."
Peaches admits to often getting so carried away with the vibe and energy at her gigs that's it not until afterwards that she realises exactly what everyone got up to. "There have been a lot of wild things. The wildest thing for me, as a realisation after a show is when I'm looking at my legs and there's all these little marks, like hands, from people passing me along. I was like 'why are there five dots there, and five dots there? It's very tiring but it's exciting. I feel really lucky and you make the best of it."
No stranger to Aussie crowds, Peaches has performed at countless Big Day Outs, and Parklife, and hopes to be back again soon. She says Aussies are wild, and open – two huge draw cards for her as a performer. "People are crazy in Australia. And they're crazy in a really good way. There's always people up for whatever. I always get dancers here, I always find really creative people. There's no fear here."

The eyes of the world were drawn to Boston Monday, after two bombs killed 3 people and injured nearly two hundred others near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
Among those watching were many children. It would be nearly impossible to stop children from seeing or hearing anything about the bombings, so Toledo Psychiatrist Dr. Vishwas Mashalkar says the best thing to do is stay calm, and listen to what children have to say about the tragedy.
"Let your children know that you live in a safe place, and there are safeguards in place, such as police and other law enforcement officials, that can generally identify these episodes from happening, before they happen. So that's how they can do some reassurance," said Mashalkar.
Mashalkar also says parents should encourage children to share their thoughts and feelings about Monday's events and meet their comments with reassuring answers.

36th Meeting of the Ramsar
|CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
36th Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 25-29 February 2008
|Agenda item 15.6
Review of COP decisions (Resolution IX.17)
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is requested to advise on what further work should be undertaken, capacity permitting, for SC37 and COP10 consideration.
1. The Standing Committee will recall that at its 35th meeting it received a report on work undertaken for the Secretariat by Dave Pritchard (RSPB/BirdLife International) pursuant to Resolution IX.17. This report and analysis examined all COP decisions from 1980 to 2005 and identified where there could be opportunities for retirement or consolidation of decisions, as well as certain decisions where there could be issues of inconsistency or contradiction.
2. At SC35, the Standing Committee:
- expressed its profound gratitude to RSPB and BirdLife International for having released time for Dave Pritchard to undertake his review of the Ramsar Convention's decisions from 1980 to 2005 with a view to rationalization and consolidation (Decision SC35-25); and
- urged that further work should be encouraged on the review of past decisions, but that legal advice should be sought only if and when major problems should arise, and that it would be worth while to present the Convention's decisions in thematic groupings, with a list of decisions currently in effect. The Committee felt that consolidations and retirements of past decisions should be undertaken only when necessary, but that all new Resolutions should include retirements of superseded earlier decisions when appropriate. The SC encouraged Dave Pritchard to look at what retiring specific blocks of decision might look like, and asked the Secretariat to assess ways and means of analyzing the implementation of past decisions in order to identify any redundancies. And the SC requested a report for SC36 that could be communicated to COP10 (Decision SC35-26).
3. Unfortunately, owing to a change in the work circumstances of Dave Pritchard since SC35, which has led to a significant reduction in his capacity and time available to work with the Convention and Secretariat, it has not yet been possible to further progress this work requested under Decision SC35-26.
4. The advice of the Standing Committee is sought concerning if and how this matter might be progressed prior to its 37th meeting, and what information and advice might be transmitted to COP10 on this matter.

The new offer was tentatively agreed
upon by the Union Bargaining Committee and recommended favorably to the USA.
The executive vice president of Wise

with the proposals that have been ratified earlier.
He said they are disappointed the
contract was rejected and that it was their best offer.

Doha Thurs: Can Vika Find Her Moscow Mojo?
Published October 27, 2010 12:00
Day 3 Preview - Round Robin
Follow progress through the day with our in-depth Live Blog!
[5] Samantha Stosur (AUS #7) vs. [7] Elena Dementieva (RUS #9)
Head-to-Head: Dementieva leads 4-2
So far this week Stosur has turned back the clock to her glorious spring, where her purple patch on clay culminated in her first Grand Slam final at Roland Garros. Indeed, after her nervous start against Schiavone on Tuesday, the 26-year-old Aussie has grown in assurance, and after her imperious defeat of Wozniacki on Wednesday, she surely deserves to be considered a genuine contender for this title. While Dementieva holds the edge in the pair's rivalry, their last three matches have gone to three sets, with Stosur prevailing most recently in a nail-biter at Flushing Meadows. Given Dementieva's foot issues, another thriller may be too much to ask for, but you never know. Since her limp showing against Wozniacki on Tuesday, the 29-year-old has had an extra day to regroup, and she wouldn't take to the court unless she thought she had a chance. But her return game, one of the very best on tour, will need to be at its best to counter one of the top servers. Look for added interest as she strives to keep the points short.
Hot Stats: Dementieva is third on the list of active main draw hardcourt match winners behind the Williams sisters, with 282 to 135 losses (.676). Including this week, Stosur is 112-83 on hardcourts (.574).
[1] Caroline Wozniacki (DEN #1) vs. [4] Francesca Schiavone (ITA #6)
Head-to-Head: Schiavone leads 2-1
This is a must-win match for 20-year-old Wozniacki, the youngest player in the field, and also for Schiavone, who at 30 is the grande dame of this year's Doha line-up. As well as being separated by a decade, these two are chalk and cheese in playing style, which should make for a hugely entertaining encounter. No less energetic than her buoyant younger rival, Schiavone's essential challenge is that Wozniacki is the supreme retriever of women's tennis. That means The French Open champ will have to work her angles and spins to the max - and then some. It may help the feisty Italian, who started so impressively against Stosur, that Wozniacki's delivery isn't as good as the Aussie's - which in theory will allow her easier admission into more points. But if anyone can bounce back from the disappointment of a loss, Wozniacki can, and she'll stay out there all night if she has to. Which isn't to say Schiavone won't, especially with her semifinal hopes in peril.
Hot Stats: Should she triumph today, Schiavone will be only the second Italian to win a match at the WTA Championships, after Raffaella Reggi, who was a quarterfinalist in 1987. Including her loss to Stosur yesterday, Wozniacki is now 30-3 since Wimbledon.
[3] Kim Clijsters (BEL #4) vs. [8] Victoria Azarenka (BLR #10)
Head-to-Head: Clijsters leads 2-1
With a winning head-to-head record against all other seven players competing at Doha, a 15-1 record since Wimbledon, and a straightforward enough win over Jankovic on Wednesday, Clijsters - also the only former champion here - must be feeling pretty good about her chances of a third WTA Championships title this week. But the 27-year-old will know that she must serve better today than she did yesterday, as her seven aces were cancelled out by 10 double faults. This could prove fatal against a healthy Azarenka, one of the most potent returners on the WTA circuit, who happened to win their last meeting, at Eastbourne. For her part, Azarenka arrived in Doha on a high after her title run at Moscow, but it will be interesting to see whether the magic has evaporated after her loss Zvonareva, despite putting in a quality performance and being up a break in both sets. Hopefully she'll be sizzling and seething - in a good way - because if she is this could be a barnburner. Otherwise, Clijsters' experience and more varied arsenal will hold sway.
Hot Stats: With her round robin defeat of Jankovic on Wednesday, Clijsters became the eighth player to surpass the $20 million career prize money mark. After her match with Zvonareva, Azarenka is 4-6 in tie-breaks this season (but 35-25 in her career).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 (UPI) — The list of Republicans vying for a presidential nomination shrank Sunday when former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced his withdrawal from the race.
The 51-year-old two-term former governor broke the news on ABC's "This Week," a day after the Iowa straw poll gave him just 14 percent support for a third-place finish.
He said the "lift" he was looking for didn't materialize in the vote.
"That didn't happen, so I'm announcing this morning … that I'm going to be ending my campaign for president," he said.
Saturday night after the results came in showing Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., in first place followed by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, Pawlenty sent an e-mail to supporters that gave no indication he was withdrawing.
The e-mail's subject line said "Just the Beginning" and went on to say, "This is a long process to restore America — we are just beginning, and I'm eager for the campaign."
Pawlenty said it was too early for him to endorse any of the other Republicans vying for the presidential nomination.
"A lot of times you see candidates start out weaker, they get stronger over time, or start out strong and fall by the wayside," he said. "So we just don't know, but I'm confident that our candidate will be a strong candidate."
Asked if he would be willing to run as a vice presidential candidate, Pawlenty said, "That's not something I'm even going to consider."

Residence Life is comprised of two types of staff: Resident Assistants and professional
staff. Each hall has a Resident Assistant (RA) who, like you, is a student. It is
their responsibility to build relationships, provide information to residents, plan
activities and see that hall regulations are upheld. There are always at least two
RA's on duty on campus. RAs act on behalf of the College and are therefore College
Officials when acting in their RA role. RAs have jurisdiction over the Campus; however
not in Greek Housing facilities.
Full time professionals in the Office of Residence Life and Housing, supervise the
RA's and are responsible for the total operation of the residence hall community.
This includes supervising staff, advising and counseling students and groups, coordinating
hall programs and administering College policies. Professional staff members live
on or near campus. There is always a professional staff member on call and available
24 hours a day.

A Very Amazon-Like Quarter
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With no disrespect to Amazon.com, this quarter by Nike (NYSE: NKE) was very Amazon-like. While the company's overall revenues increased 10%, their diluted earnings-per-share dropped 10%. In Amazon's situation, showing massive revenue growth and sacrificing earnings makes some sense, as a company tries to transform the way people buy their goods. However, for an established company like Nike, this type of business plan doesn't work at all, and investors should be seriously questioning management priorities. Nike is arguably the most well-known sportswear brand in the world and should be able to leverage this name recognition into better margins and higher profits. However, through apparently some short-term thinking, Nike did exactly the opposite.
Nike Shouldn't Be Copying Their Competition
When a large well-established company seems to suddenly sacrifice margins to create growth, you have to wonder about the potential for the stock going forward. Nike is both well-respected in the sportswear market and the stock market, but won't be for long if the company continues down this path. Competitors like Under Armour (NYSE: UA) and Lululemon (NASDAQ: LULU) are fighting each other and Nike for market share. While smaller companies sometimes have to sacrifice margins to get sales, a company like Nike shouldn't have to. One could argue that Nike is trying to copy its competition by pushing products at lower margins to create faster growth instead of better earnings.
How Do You Turn 15%+ Sales Growth Into Lower Earnings?
Sales at each of Nike's main divisions increased by at least 15% across the board. For the same company to report diluted EPS down 10% is not a good sign for long-term investors. The company said lower EPS was due to lower gross margin, higher SG&A, and a higher tax rate. I could easily accept a higher tax rate, as that means the company reported more taxable income versus last year. However, higher SG&A, and a lower gross margin, means the company marked down prices and spent money where it didn't necessarily have to. This combination drove sales growth at the expense of EPS. In fact, looking across the board at all of the company's geographic markets, there was only one situation where sales were flat. Every other region and category showed increased sales, and many were up by double digits. What is strange is that while the company's EPS is down, Nike is trying to return value to shareholders. Looking at the company's financials, you can see that Nike is buying back shares and growing their balance sheet.
3 Positives And 1 Negative In The Financial Statements
There were three very positive items from Nike's financials. First, the company repurchased almost $800 million worth of shares at an average price of $95. Second, previous share repurchases caused the company's overall share count to be reduced by about 2.6% versus last year. Last, Nike's cash and investments both increased better than 35% on the year over year basis. What didn't quite make sense was the company's inventory growth of 10%. Future orders are expected to increase between 6% and 8%. If the company sees single-digit future orders, then you would expect inventory growth in the single digits as well. In the apparel industry, inventory levels have been a challenge at their competition. Investors should keep a close eye on Nike's inventory line item going forward. With all this being said, the challenge for investors is knowing what to expect from Nike in the future.
Valuation Should Be A Concern
The stock market certainly has an appreciation for Nike's business as the arguable leader in the field, and the stock is valued as such. Shares sell for over 18 times forward earnings estimates, but earnings growth is only expected to come in at 8%. Their competition with Under Armour has been fierce and should continue in the future. To be fair, Under Armour has two challenges that have not plagued Nike until recently. First, Under Armour has been growing quickly, but the valuation on their stock has grown even faster. Second, the company's operating margin has shown compression as they have invested in new market opportunities. Under Armour's most recent quarter shows an operating margin at just over 3%. By contrast, competitor Lululemon shows a more reasonable valuation relative to their growth rate. In Lululemon's most recent quarter, the company's operating margin was just shy of 25%. By comparison, Nike's operating margin stands at less than half of this at just over 12%. Given these factors, I firmly believe investors should consider Lululemon as their lead investment choice in the sportswear market.
On a relative basis, Lululemon's stock is much cheaper than either Nike or Under Armour. For instance, Lululemon's PEG ratio is about 1.5 based on earnings estimates. When you consider that Nike's PEG ratio sits at 2.29 and Under Armour's PEG is at 2, you can see that the market may be under-appreciating Lululemon's faster growth rate. In addition, Lululemon is keeping their priorities straight by maintaining their high margin and fast growing business. This is the opposite of what has been happening at Nike, as the company has decided that greater sales and lower profits is an okay result. For arguably the most dominant sportswear company, investors should be less than satisfied with these results.
