Apple today announced their financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 (the months of January, February, and March). Apple brought in $9.5 billion in profit off of $43.6 billion in revenue. In previous years Apple offered conservative guidance on revenue and profits, though recently they made the switched to publishing a range into which they realistically expect the fiscal results to fall. And Apple's results easily fell within that range.
Those buckets of cash come courtesy of sales that included 37.4 million iPhones, 19.5 million iPads, and "just under 4 million" Macs. Apple historically has not broken down the individual models within these product categories, though reports from carriers indicate that the mix on iPhones has been a little over one half iPhone 5 and the rest split between the less expensive iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
"We are pleased to report record March quarter revenue thanks to continued strong performance of iPhone and iPad," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "Our teams are hard at work on some amazing new hardware, software and services, and we are very excited about the products in our pipeline."
While the results might have fallen short of analysts' lofty expectations (or beaten analysts' pessimism), Apple did exceed the results of the same quarter one year ago. For the record, Q2 2013 was up 11% from $39.2 billion in revenue and down 18% from $11.6 billion in net profits. Apple's consistently brought in billions of dollars in revenue and profits for quarter-after-quarter, though it remains to be seen whether today's results will be enough to satisfy investors and analysts. Given the pummeling the stock has taken over the past six months, we wouldn't be holding our breath.
As an added bonus to shareholders, Apple's increased the dividend for this quarter by 15% from $2.65 to $3.05. The company has also added $50 billion to their stock buyback program, which is now projected to spend $100 billion by the end of 2015. Thanks to the additional $9.5 billion in income from this quarter, Apple still has $145 billion in the bank with which to play.
As usual, a conference call with Apple execs is scheduled to kick off shortly. And as usual, we'll be following along to pass along to you any notes of interest that Cook and company drop. While we're waiting, are you satisfied with the latest additions to Apple's cash pile or did Wall Street's relentless hype machine get to you?

First! Woooooohoooooo yeah baby!!!!!!
Don't really care about the actual story cos Apple ain't ever done a damn thing for my bank account. I'm a Blackberry man and rep the z10.
Just wanna be first. Peace out.
Richard . . . :/
Hell YA!!!!
I love how analysts are disappointed with $9.5 Billion in profit.
Strange quarter though. Apple hasn't released a single product since October. This weird release schedule really doesn't help their PR strategy at all.
It's not the profit. It's the falling profit. Someday, when profits fall enough, they turn into losses. As this rate that is less than three years away.
I predict it will happen before then.
But profits aren´t falling because they are selling less. It is attributed to change in paradigm of what they sell. The falling profits, may stabilise, and then continue to grow, before it becomes a loss. Of course it all depends on how you see things..
The slash in pricing for older models drove the sales growth. That is a good part of why the ASP dropped so much.
In the end Apple is betting on making that money back in long term lock in of users to the Apple ecosystem. Main problem I see with that is the Chinese government won't like a single foreign company having such sway over their populace.
"are you satisfied with the latest additions to Apple's cash pile?" Why on Earth should I give a damn? Is this a stick owners' club or a user site? I start to care of their cash pile size when owning an iPhone grants you access to it.
I was in fact a stock owner & and an apple user. I was a stock owner for a long time without using any apple product. No wait that's wrong. I actually i had an ipod.
Excellent stuff. I hope they continue to do well so as to be able to give me the products I like using.

AUGUSTA -–Proponents of a bill that could allow the state to prohibit food stamp recipients from buying soft drinks and junk food said Friday that the taxpayer-funded program shouldn't be used to purchase foods that could lead to obesity and health problems.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL Nutrition Assistance Program prohibits the purchase of these items:
• Prepared foods (fast food)
• Alcohol, beer and wine
• Cigarettes and other tobacco products
• Nonfood items such as toilet paper, cleaning and household supplies.
Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, one of the bill's lead sponsors, told lawmakers that the operative word in the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is "nutrition."
"If we are using taxpayer dollars to provide food for those less fortunate among us, we ought to make sure that what we are providing is healthy," he said.
Opponents of the proposal stressed another word in the program: "supplemental."
With an average benefit of $239 a month, food stamps provide only part of a recipient's diet, said anti-poverty and industry groups, and there is no way to link food stamp purchases directly to obesity or diabetes.
Those were the central arguments heard by the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee over L.D. 1411, a proposal by Gov. Paul LePage that has supporters in both parties, including Katz, the assistant minority leader in the Senate, and Rep. Craig Hickman, D-Winthrop.
The bill is one of at least six proposals being considered nationwide that would put soda, candy and other junk foods on the short list of items that can't be bought with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards.
The bill does not specify what a junk food is, but relies on the state's definition of taxable food items, which includes candy, confections, fudge, iced tea, soft drinks and bottled water. Non-taxable items are defined as "grocery staples," items such as bread and milk.
Both definitions have caused confusion since Maine dropped its "snack tax" in 2000. Grocers have been found taxing items when they shouldn't and vice versa.
The federal program now prohibits purchases of alcohol, tobacco and other non-food products, as well as prepared foods from fast-food restaurants.
LePage's proposal would allow the state Department of Health and Human Services to seek a waiver from the federal government to ban the use of food stamps to buy soft drinks and junk food.
The federal government funds the program 100 percent. In March, more than 253,000 Mainers received benefits totaling $30.96 million, according to the DHHS.
Nearly 90 percent of Mainers who qualify for the program use it.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the median annual income of Mainers who receive food stamps is about $16,000.
Similar bills were reviewed by eight state legislatures last year, and none passed. The federal government has never approved a waiver.
The LePage administration and other proponents of L.D. 1411 argue that states should have the flexibility to determine what foods can be purchased with taxpayer-funded benefits.
Health food advocates agree, saying the government shouldn't subsidize bad diet choices that can increase health care costs -- sometimes paid for by taxpayers through Medicaid and Medicare.
In 2011, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made a similar argument when he pitched a two-year pilot program to determine whether it would reduce obesity rates among food stamp users.
The federal government rejected the proposal, saying it would be too difficult to implement. It rejected a similar request from Minnesota.
The federal government's reluctance to ban junk food was articulated in a 2007 Food and Nutrition Service survey commissioned during the administration of President George W. Bush. The survey showed no clear standards to distinguish between healthy and non-healthy foods and said that restricting certain foods could increase the cost of the program.

That's What They Say
9:00 am
Sun September 30, 2012
The fact is, is that people are using a double is all the time
If you listen carefully you can hear sentences with a double "is" all the time.
President Obama does it. "The fact of the matter is is that…," he said at the House Republican Conference on January 29, 2010.
Michigan Radio's Rina Miller talks with Anne Curzan, a professor of English at the University of Michigan, who specializes in linguistics.
"I think what's happening here is that it happens with these focusing expressions, like the fact is, the point is, the reality is. If you think about that expression, really what we're saying is, 'pay attention to what I'm about to say. Focus on what's coming next, the point that I'm about to make,'" said Curzan.
But the question is, why do we get a second is?
"What I think is happening is that initial phrase the point is, the fact is, is becoming what linguists might call a lexical bundle, or a prefabricated unit, and it serves as the subject, the point is and if that's the subject then you need a verb, is," she said.
And Curzan says there is another double is that has long been considered grammatical in a construction like, all it is is.
"And some folks say that a construction like 'the fact is is, is ungrammatical. But for speakers who use that, it's not a disfluency. They're not stumbling. So, my job as a linguist it to figure out what's going on," she said.

ADA News
AADR urges Congress to boost oral health research dollars
Group supports ADA request for $1 million targeted at caries in Native American children
Citing "exciting research under way and the potential to improve oral health," Dr. Marc Heft told a House appropriations panel that additional funds for the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research would advance the use of saliva-based diagnostic tests for oral and other cancers, cardiovascular diseases and systemic conditions.
Early diagnosis and treatment are also key to "avoidance of the disfiguring surgery that may occur when malignancy is advanced and spread," Dr. Heft testified March 13. "NIDCR-funded research has produced a saliva test that can detect oral cancer, but further clinical studies are needed to produce and validate a diagnostic test with the accuracy required by the Food and Drug Administration.
"Imagine a world where disease can be detected at its earliest possible moment with quick, painless and non-invasive saliva-based tests," Dr. Heft testified on behalf of the American Association for Dental Research. "Imagine getting results from a test for oral cancer or systemic diseases without a two- or three-day wait, or going to the dentist for a mineral-restoring rinse instead of getting a filling. We would not only improve Americans' quality of life but save lives and better utilize the valuable resources currently burdening our health care system."
The AADR testimony also supported an American Dental Association request for $1 million a year for three years for research and clinical studies on early childhood caries in cooperation with the Indian Health Service.
"Early childhood caries is a painful, costly and severe form of tooth decay—an unfortunate reality for too many pre-school children in this country," Dr. Heft testified. "Unfortunately, early childhood caries is particularly common among Alaska Native/American Indian children -- with rates up to three times higher than those seen among other 2- to 5-year-olds."
Dr. Heft is professor and director of the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Diagnostic Sciences at the University of Florida. The mission of the 4,000-individual, 100-institutional member AADR is to advance research and increase knowledge for the improvement of oral health.

Filmation Associates, Norway Productions featuring Captain James Tiberius Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, Sarek, Ensign Bates; more Characters ...
|Comments by: Sam Hoskins
|Posted: June 04, 2001
This was the best of the 22 animated Star Trek episodes. It was a candid look at Spock's difficult childhood. It was written by DC Fontana, who wrote many good Spock-oriented episodes for the original ST series, and who later went on to write for other sci-fi and mainstream productions. As with all 22 animated ST's the strengths were the voices by most of the original series actors, the production involvement of Gene Roddenberry, the musical score, the storyboards, and the backgrounds. The weaknesses were the character animation, the sound editing, and the clipped dialogue."

That was definitely not true in the 1950s when I was a small boy in Calhoun County. My parents worried about my sister and me every summer, especially when we started wanting to go swimming. Many pools closed in August for fear of polio spreading.
In the 1950s, almost everyone knew someone who had had polio. A girl in my class had braces on both legs, and walked with crutches from her bout with polio.
In 1952, there were 58,000 confirmed cases of polio in the United States. In 1953, there were 35,000 confirmed cases. In 1954, Dr. Jonas Salk did massive field trials of his polio vaccine. In 1955, a nationwide vaccination program was started. By 1957, there were only 5,600 confirmed cases of polio in the United States. In 1958 and 1959, the Sabin oral vaccine was developed. I remember well one Sunday afternoon waiting in line at Alexandria School to take the two sugar cubes containing the Sabin vaccine. In 1962, the Sabin oral vaccine totally replaced the Salk vaccine. In 1964, there were only 121 cases of polio in the United States. This is a great success story about wiping out a disease that for many years was the scourge of young people as well as adults.
Note that one of the vaccines that children are still required to get before starting school is the polio vaccine.

Last Thursday, February 25, Howard Schweitzer and Jim Lambright entered Uris Hall serenely, shook off the snow and immediately began their discussion with a crowd of students and faculty members. While most people would have been dismayed by the travails of taking a train through a blizzard from Washington DC to New York — and just to visit Columbia Business School students! — Schweitzer and Lambright viewed the task as trifling.
Not surprising, given that until recently Schweitzer ran TARP (the Troubled Asset Relief Program) and Lambright, who had been the president of the Ex-Im Bank, served as TARP's chief investment officer. When Schweitzer took the job in the fall of 2008, Lehman and WaMu had disintegrated, Wachovia had been acquired to stave off a panic and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the last two major investment banks, had converted themselves into commercial banks. Running TARP, Lambright said, was like working in the emergency ward of a wartime hospital: lots of blunt instruments and patients enduring a great deal of pain. After that experience, a three-hour journey through a snowstorm was barely worth noticing.
Schweitzer and Lambright spoke to a lively and elite audience as part of the School's Community Forum on Business and the Economy organized by Dean Glenn Hubbard. They gave an inside account of the beginning of TARP from the day Neel Kashkari first called Schweitzer to start up the program. With no clear mandate and makeshift offices hidden in crevices of the Treasury's buildings, Schweitzer was given the task of managing the list of firms that the Treasury handed over.
Schweitzer recalled the first days of the program: Another $40 billion for AIG, ok, we'll work that one out, we'll do non-voting equity. CITI needs an injection of finance, ok, we'll work out the warrants and take board seats. The public is in an uproar over compensation packages already in contract. Nothing much can be done; the rule of law prevails but let's put in place a pay czar to make sure that the public money is spent wisely. Over here, the auto industry is bleeding cash, no credit is forthcoming and the repercussions on the financial system are massive. We'll work something out, but there is an election happening too and a new guy is taking over January 20. Do I show up for work? Does TARP carry over and do we keep on working? What do I do January 21? Oh, it is business as usual. By the way, will TARP ever fully repay the taxpayer? The estimate is that it will be $120 billion short, but that's the official estimate. It's likely to pay back except for autos … and AIG?
Schweitzer and Lambright answered every question. While they were both very modest, there was still a sense that these two men knew how to get a job done. At one point during the heated events in 2009, the Wall Street Journal quoted former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who hired Lambright. Paulson said about Lambright, "He's unbelievably tough, and … the job is to save the financial system."
Leaving aside whether one thinks TARP was a good idea (I do) or a bad one, the impression left by these two very amiable and frank government servants was that they took the entrepreneurial challenge and ran with it, steering carefully within the confines of the law that sets out hiring practices (they needed to hire fast) and transparency. Now after stepping down from TARP, Schweitzer has joined the big law firm Cozens O'Connor; Lambright is pursuing green energy at Sapphire Energy.
No revolving door into Wall Street for them. One had to leave the room very impressed.

Question not answered?
Please contact Career Services for assistance by phone or email:
- 541-737-4085
- firstname.lastname@example.com
In order to guess whether a career might be a good fit for you, you need to know a little about yourself! This may sound obvious, but often we don't take the time to truly assess our skills, interests, pesonality, or values. One way to learn more about yourself is through assessments. They can help you generate career options based on your interests, skills, values, and personality traits. Career Services individualized interpretation format will add clarity to your results.
SIGI3 — pronounced "siggy three" for System of Interactive Guidance and Information — is a special tool that can help you to plan your career. Among the features offered on SIGI3 you will find tools to help you research occupations, choose, change, or clarify a major, and evaluate your interests, skills, values and personality. You can access the system through Beaver JobNet. Once in Beaver JobNet, click "Log-in to SIGI3" on the right side under Career Counseling & Exploration.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality assessment that's often used in career counseling. It's one extra helpful tool in learning about yourself and the kind of work settings that may feel most natural, and also helps you understand how you approach the career decision-making process.
The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) can help you gain a better awareness of your career-related interests. It is one of the most popular personality assessment tools. The modern version shows how certain interests compare with the interests of people successfully employed in specific occupations.
The results include:
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Strong Interest Inventory (SII), and SIGI3 each explore your interests and personality in a slightly different way. This is valuable for students who are looking to choose, change, or clarify a major, or just want to learn more about themselves.
Internship Predictor is another online assessment that is a quick and easy process to help you evaluate your personal preferences and show how they can help you pursue and secure the right internship. It is FREE!
1. We first encourage you to schedule an appointment with a career counselor to make sure these assessments are right for you.
2. If after meeting with a career counselor you decide to do a career assessment(s), depending on which one you choose, you will first pay for it either in person in Career Services with cash or check or you can pay for it online with a credit card (the link will be provided by your career counselor when you meet with them at your first appointment). Both the MBTI and SII assessments cost $14 each, while SIGI3 is free and you can log-in to the system through Beaver JobNet - click "Log-in to SIGI3" on your Beaver JobNet homepage on the right side under Career Counseling & Exploration. YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEET WITH A CAREER COUNSELOR IN ORDER TO DO SIGI3.
3. If doing the MBTI or SII, once we receive your payment, your career counselor will email you log-in instructions to complete the assessment(s).
4. Once you have completed the assessment(s), schedule an appointment with your career counselor for each assessment to go over your results.
NOTE: Self-assessment can involve much more than taking an inventory. Our career counselors can teach you how to engage in your own self-assessment, which you will use for a lifetime. Counselors can guide you in assessing your values, and help you explore how your unique background and experiences play a role in your developing career goals.

Simulated annealing is a computational algorithm for optimization. It mimics the physical process of thermal annealing in which a metal is heated and then slowly cooled to settle into a highly ordered crystal structure. For common metals, the lowest energy state is already known. But the method is useful for other problems where the best state is not known and exhaustively searching all possible states is impractical. The method is applied by modeling the problem as a physical system with structure, energy, and temperature. This Python module implements simulated annealing so that it can be easily applied to a variety of problems. An example program is include to perform simulated annealing of the traveling salesman problem.
The Qore "tibae" module provides TIBCO Adapter support; it allows Qore programs to send and receive messages to and from TIBCO Adapters (or implement a TIBCO Adapter in qore) based on an external repository.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
John Hanna / The Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. — Abortion opponents marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade on Tuesday with workshops, prayers and calls for more legislation chipping away at the abortion rights the U.S. Supreme Court decision seemed to guarantee.
Anti-abortion supporters gather for the Rally for Life at the Earle Cabell Federal Courthouse, site of the landmark Roe v Wade lawsuit filing over 40 years ago, in downtown Dallas on Saturday.
Many looked to Kansas, where Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a series of tough, anti-abortion measures during his first two years in office. Much to the dismay of abortion-rights advocates, Kansas has been part of a wave in which states with Republican governors and GOP-controlled Legislatures enacted new restrictions on abortion providers.
Hundreds of abortion opponents gathered in Topeka for a rally with Brownback, who has called on lawmakers to create "a culture of life" and is expected to support whatever further restrictions they approve.
Abortion rights advocates have celebrated the Jan. 22, 1973, Roe v. Wade decision because it declared women have a constitutional right to abortions in some circumstances and prevented states from banning it. They observed a quieter anniversary — a reflection of the reality that it's far rarer for lawmakers to expand access to abortion.
Across the nation, many events were scheduled Tuesday by advocacy groups on the two sides of the debate. The National Organization for Women, for example, planned a candlelight vigil at the Supreme Court to commemorate the Roe ruling, which it supports. The annual March for Life, which traditionally draws several hundred thousand abortion opponents to Washington, D.C., is scheduled for Friday.
"It should be honored — not trying to find loopholes," said Rep. Emily Perry, a lawyer and Democrat from the Kansas City suburb of Mission, Kan., who supports abortion rights. "I wish the amount of energy put into narrowing Roe v. Wade would be put into school funding or our budget."
Kansans for Life, the most influential of the state's anti-abortion groups, plans to ask lawmakers to enact legislation ensuring that the state doesn't finance abortions even indirectly, such as through tax breaks or allowing doctors-in-training at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., to perform them on the center's time. The group also wants to strengthen a state law dictating what information must be provided to abortion patients, ban abortions because of the fetus' gender and allow wrongful death lawsuits when a fetus dies because of an accident.
Republican lawmakers in North Dakota are pursuing a measure to ban "sex selection" abortions, while Alabama's GOP legislative majorities are looking to impose new health and safety regulations for abortion providers. Arkansas' new Republican legislative majorities want to ban abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy.
"I think more of America is becoming more pro-life," said Dr. Melissa Colbern, who started a crisis pregnancy center in Topeka near the state Capitol last year. "I think maybe the culture is changing."
In the four decades since Roe v. Wade, a series of court decisions have narrowed its scope. With each decision, lawmakers in multiple states have followed up by making abortions more difficult to obtain or imposing restrictions on providers.
According to the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive-rights think tank, 135 laws aimed in some way at restricting access to abortion were enacted in 30 states — most of them with Republican-controlled legislatures — in 2011 and 2012. More such measures already have been proposed in several states this year.
In Wyoming, for example, a pending bill would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is audible. A similar "heartbeat" bill is pending in Mississippi and one was debated but later sidetracked in Ohio last year.
In Texas, Republican Gov. Rick Perry has told lawmakers that he expects more anti-abortion laws during the 2013 session to work toward his goal "to make abortion at any stage a thing of the past." Anti-abortion activists have pledged to use every legal means possible to make obtaining abortions difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.

Raiders meeting with two veteran free agents
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, March 13th, 2013 at 12:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders reportedly are interested enough in linebacker Nick Roach and defensive tackle Pat Sims to schedule meetings with both players at some point this week, according to reports.
Sims, 27, started 23 games during his five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, but only one of those starts came the past two seasons. He recorded 17 tackles in eight games last season.
The Raiders are down two defensive tackles from last season's roster as of right now — Richard Seymour is a free agent, Desmond Bryant signed with the Cleveland Browns.
Roach, 27, started 59 games during his six seasons with the Chicago Bears. More than half those starts came the past two seasons.
Roach also is on the radar of several other teams. The Raiders are seeking an infusion of talent for a linebacking corps that just lost Phillip Wheeler and soon is expected to lose Rolando McClain.
In other news, the Raiders re-signed cornerback Coye Francies, who was with the Raiders last season and played mostly special teams.

Review by Kate Wingfield
MALU DE MARTINO'S So Hard to Forget may need a warning label since anyone recently freed from the exquisite torture of nursing a dumped roommate will unlikely be able to stomach the contents. Admittedly a nicely shot, well-paced, "small" Brazilian film, So Hard certainly tries hard but unless you can relate to its beautiful but extraordinarily dour, endlessly self-centered and unenlightened dumpee, Julianna, you'll be wondering how hard it would be to crawl on yours knees to the exit.
Based on the novel of Myriam Campello, the film glues itself to Julianna, a professor of literature (we know this because she mentions names like Virginia Woolf and Emily Bronte amid intellectual gobbledy-gook) in the immediate aftermath of a ten-year relationship with a woman called Antonia, whom we never meet. Interspersed with a lugubriously-delivered voice-over, Julianna grimaces her way though the initial shock and awe to reluctant recovery by way of a long intervening phase – really the entire length of the film – in which she is exceedingly irritable and morose to everyone around her.
In fact, minus a reflective scene or two – in particular Julianna's realization of physical loss while in the shower – the film is really little more than a series of vignettes in which the grumpy professor entices people into noticing that she is depressed and then nails them for caring. Although she invests herself in the character, Ana Paula Arosio can bring nothing to this one-dimensional woman other than her mesmerizingly beautiful cat's eyes.
Top of the masochist list is Julianna's gay friend Hugo who persuades her early-on into joining him in a house-share by the coast. An impossibly cheerful character, played with puppy-like goodwill by Murilo Rosa, Hugo is barely allowed to mourn his own profound losses before Julianna is dragging it all back to her interminable suffering which, for some inexplicable reason, they have tacitly agreed trumps all. Even Helena (a cool as a cucumber Arieta Correia), Julianna's eventual new love interest, along with being beautiful and emotionally-available, also happens to be the type who can't get enough of prickly, emotionally distant non-givers. Had enough yet?
Bottom line: take away the Brazilian flavor, intellectual pretentions and pretty women and this is nothing more than a shallow portrait of common garden variety obnoxiousness.

Ryan Mathews injury: Chargers running back out with broken right clavicle
San Diego Chargers fans thought this might the season in which running back Ryan Mathews finally lived up to the hype of being selected 12th overall in the 2010 draft. But if Mathews is to do so, he will have to play catch-up.
Mathews left Thursday's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers after his only carry, and the news after the game was not good, according to Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Ryan Mathews suffered broken clavicle. Out 4 to 6 weeks.—
Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) August 10, 2012
Ryan Mathews will have surgery Friday, coach Norv Turner said.—
Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) August 10, 2012
Norv Turner: "My hopes for Ryan (Mathews) have not changed. … I still expect him to have a great year."—
Michael Gehlken (@UTgehlken) August 10, 2012
With Mathews likely out for at least the first two weeks of the regular season, the Chargers will have to turn to Ronnie Brown to give Philip Rivers a running game.

Patterns for Small Quilts
Stitch up tiny quilts (less than 26" square) in a flash using these free patterns for small quilts.
Rolling Stones [1]
Use fat eighth pieces in traditional Pennsylvania German colors of chrome yellow, double pink, and overdyed green to create a miniature quilt.
Green Acres Doll Quilt [3]
Natural greens are highlighted with rich red sashing in a doll quilt that can span the seasons.
Happy-Go-Lucky Table Setting [5]
Lots of triangles create the wow factor in this colorful tabletop trio.

Scrappy Floral Appliqué Table Mat [9]
Raid your stash to make a 22"-square table mat and matching mug mats. Add a personal touch by finishing the small tabletop projects with large, hand-quilted stitches.
Funky Place Mats [11]
Zigzag-stitch fusible words and motifs to create these fun place mats.
Wool Flower Table Topper [13]
If working with wool is new to you, this table mat is the perfect project to get you started.
Little Sawtooth Stars [15]
Even though the finished three-color table topper is small, you can still include small and medium prints in order to play with scale.
Tiny Pieces Table Topper [17]
To add to the intricate look of this pattern, create the illusion of pieced tiny squares by cutting rectangles lengthwise from striped fabric.
Fall Leaves Table Topper [19]
Use a fabric panel as inspiration for an autumn table topper. Choose prints in coordinating colors to frame the panel.
Blue Bouquet Table Topper [21]
Fuse a flower medallion in the center of a simple one-block table topper.

Little Blue Triangle-Squares [33]
Make a table topper that's perfect for pairing with fine china. Sixty-four tiny triangle-squares make up the quilt center.
Art Deco Flower Table Topper [35]
To make the urn appliqué appear to be more intricate than it is, fussy-cut a stripe to look like ornamentation. For an Art Deco look and greater definition of fused appliqué pieces, outline each one with a narrow black satin stitch.
Prism-Edge Table Topper [37]
Make a one-block table topper that has an intricate ice cream cone border.
Cross and Crown Tabletop Quilt [39]
The center of this one-block quilt features houndstooth prints, dots, and a paisley.
