FICO Announces Earnings of $0.65 per Share for First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Revenue of $190 million vs. $170 million in prior year PR Newswire SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111010/CG83314LOGO) First Quarter Fiscal 2013 GAAP Results Net income for the quarter totaled $23.4 million, or $0.65 per share, versus $30.0 million, or $0.81 per share, reported in the prior year period. The current quarter results include $2.2 million, net of tax, or $0.06 per share, in restructuring and acquisition related costs. First Quarter Fiscal 2013 Non-GAAP Results Beginning in fiscal 2013, the company will report Non-GAAP results for net income, EPS and free cash flow. The Non-GAAP financial measures are described in the financial table captioned "Non-GAAP Results" and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP results in the financial tables at the end of this release. oNon-GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $31.8 million vs. $34.5 million in the prior year period. oNon-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.88 vs. $0.94 in the prior year period. oFree cash flow for the quarter was $19.0 million vs. $32.7 million in the prior year period. First Quarter Fiscal 2013 GAAP Revenue The company reported revenues of $190.0 million for the quarter as compared to $170.3 million reported in the prior year period, an increase of 12%. "We had a strong start to fiscal 2013, with solid Q1 results driven by revenue growth across our entire portfolio," said Will Lansing, chief executive officer. "The investments we have made during the past nine months, including our acquisitions, are delivering results in line with our plans." Revenues for the first quarter fiscal 2013 across each of the company's three operating segments were as follows: oApplications revenues, which include the company's preconfigured Decision Management applications and associated professional services, were $124.7 million in the first quarter compared to $110.2 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 13%. This was due primarily to revenue associated with last year's acquisition of Adeptra, Ltd. and increases in revenue from Customer Management and Marketing Solutions, partially offset by a decrease in Fraud Solutions. oScores revenues, which include the company's business-to-business (B2B) scoring solutions and associated professional services, and the myFICO^® business-to-consumer (B2C) service, were $43.4 million in the first quarter compared to $42.5 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 2%. oTools revenues, which include Blaze Advisor^®, Xpress Optimization and related professional services, were $21.9 million in the first quarter compared to $17.6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 24%, primarily due to an increase in Blaze license and professional services partially offset by a decrease in Xpress license sales during the quarter. Outlook As a result of the recently announced acquisition of CR Software LLC, the company is increasing the previously issued revenue guidance for fiscal 2013, as follows: New Fiscal 2013 GAAP Previous Fiscal 2013 Guidance GAAP Guidance Revenue $760 million - $770 $740 million - $750 million million GAAP Net Income $100 million $100 million GAAP Earnings Per Share $2.80 $2.80 Company to Host Conference Call The company will host a webcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to report its first quarter fiscal 2013 results and provide various strategic and operational updates.

Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures and dividends paid. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of recurring business results including significant non-cash expenses. We believe management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operating decision-making.

Can someone tell me why Addai is a nominee this week for gaining 2.4 ypc against us? He has no chance of winning it but I just don't understand the nominee. The other rookie RB in that game had a 4.8 ypc avg?
His coach gave him more carries and they won the game. I am one of those fans who believes the Pats should have given Maroney the ball more often in the second half instead of relying on our receivers who were, let's face it, pretty mediocre. Winning matters, which is how Givens got all that money.
Which has nothing to do with the question asked. I believe the answer is because he hasn't won one yet. It was a foolish premise for nomination, as his 2% of the vote would appear to indicate. Perhaps Polian is on the nominating committee and just wanted to see the guy he drafted nominated in a week in which he matched up against the guy he wanted to draft.
In one of the recaps of our games on NFL.com they called Addai a "legitimate rookie of the year contender". I REALLY hope that was just in-the-moment style hyperbole, cause the guy was getting stuffed every time they gave him the ball against us. On the other hand, ESPN Countdown had a debate about the rookie of the year so far last week, and of the four nominees Addai wasn't even on the list. For what it's worth, one of the two guys arguing took Maroney.
I was a little surprised to see him on that list too. I think it's because it was the "game of the week" and Addai had a score and was on the winning team. Maroney didn't do enough against the worst rushing defense in the league to get on there I'm guessing.
I have heard them giving Maroney his due from time to time. I guess the media hype of Bush in the first 1/4 of the season got me watching his back! I mean, they kept reporting his "all purpose" yards per game and hype, hype hype, then I look it up, after game 4, and Maroney was having WAY more "All-purpose" yards too!! Thanks for letting me vent!
You are right Horse, Maroney didn't do enough to be on the list. But my point is that he gained twice as many ypc as Addai, what defence you are up against shouldn't matter and hasn't in the past. Just wondering who picks the nominees.

New Turkish law gives government more power to close websites, get personal user data
Posted By Jeff Belanger On February 9, 2014 @ 11:11 AM In World Wide Web | No Comments
Turkey has just passed new legislation that gives them easier access to personal data and also allows them to easily shut down websites.
The government is saying that this will actually strengthen privacy and that they are taking these measure to better protect children from hazardous web sites. The legislation gives the president of the Telecommunication Directorate (TIB) the power to shut down websites, without having to go to court and gain permission.
The other aspect other the bill that is worrisome is that it would require Internet providers to maintain records of its users for two years, and allow authorities to view them when asked.
"This regulation constitutes intervention into many rights, particularly freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and there are points which are in conflict with the Constitution. We are calling on the president to return this regulation to the Parliament," the Turkish Journalist's Association's (TGC) executive board said via a recent statement.
"The regulation that has been approved by the General Assembly is giving unseen authorities to the TIB," they added.
The TGC is asking that President Abdullah Gül veto the bill, and they aren't the only ones who are worried about it. The European Commission has been vocal in their opposition as well.
"This law is raising serious concerns here. The law in its current form introduces several restrictions on freedom of expression," Peter Stano, a spokesman for the European Commission, said. "The Turkish public deserves more information and more transparency, not more restrictions."

Democracy's price tag: only $4.2 billion?
(Read article summary)In this midterm election, campaign contributions have reached a record $4.2 billion, thanks largely to the Supreme Court's decision to lift many contribution restrictions.
Illustration / Kurt Strazdins / Newscom / File
This, from the Washington Post's conservative pundit George Will:
Total spending by parties, campaigns and issue-advocacy groups concerning every office from county clerks to U.S. senators may reach a record $4.2 billion in this two-year cycle. That is about what Americans spend in one year on yogurt, but less than they spend on candy in two Halloween seasons. Proctor & Gamble spent $8.6 billion on advertising in its last fiscal year.
Those who are determined to reduce the quantity of political speech to what they consider the proper amount are the sort of people who know exactly how much water should come through our shower heads — no more than 2.5 gallons per minute, as stipulated by a 1992 law. Is it, however, worrisome that Americans spend on political advocacy — determining who should make and administer the laws — much less than they spend on potato chips, $7.1 billion a year?
In a word, Mr. Will, yes.
The number of dollars spent isn't the issue; it's the lopsidedness of where the dollars come from. Even if the total were only $1000, democracy would be endangered if $980 came from large corporations and wealthy individuals. The trend is clear and worrisome: The great bulk of campaign money is coming from a narrower and narrower circle of moneyed interests.
Anyone who doubts the corrupting effect has not been paying attention. Our elected representatives have been acutely sensitive to the needs of Wall Street bankers, hedge-fund managers, and the executives of big pharma, big oil, and the largest health insurance companies. This is not because these individuals and interests are particularly worthy or specially deserving. It is because they are effectively bribing elected officials with their donations. Such donations are not made out of charitable impulse. They are calculated investments no less carefully considered than investments in particular shares of stock. They are shares in our democracy.

I'm pushing out one last update to my BBOS apps (BB5/6/7). The conversion to BB10 is already in progress as well. I'm interested to see how long BBOS lasts once BB10 is released.

The temple town of Mannargudi would be linked to Coimbatore with the operation of Mannargudi-Coimbatore Chemmozhi Express from Mannargudi on Tuesday.
The daily train that would leave Mannargudi at 8.10 p.m., would reach Coimbatore at 5 a.m. on Wednesday.
The train would go via Needamangalam, Thanjavur, Tiruchi, Karur, Erode, Tirupur, and Coimbatore north.
On the downward journey, the train would leave Coimbatore at 11.55 p.m. and reach Mannargudi at 7.55 a.m. the next day.
T.R.Baalu, DMK MP and Chairman of Parliament Standing Committee for Railways, told presspersons on Monday at Mannargudi that a new broad gauge line between Mannargudi and Pattukottai would be laid at a cost of Rs. 388 crore.
Land acquisition would be done in 10 villages in Mannargudi taluk and 14 villages in Pattukottai taluk in neighbouring Thanjavur.

Enrique Peña Nieto's 'economy first' strategy for Mexico would also help US
As Mr. Peña Nieto, of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, takes up his new mandate, people are a bit on edge. The party that ran the country for 70 years is back in power and Mexicans are not certain what that means. Will the old PRI and its corrupt practices return? Will it be a different kind of government?
The one thing Mexicans know is that Peña Nieto, who ran a formidable campaign, will be a very different kind of president compared to his predecessor, Felipe Calderón, who focused on confronting the narco mafias, not realizing that security cannot be an end in itself. Mr. Calderon focused on confronting the mafias and attempted to eradicate drug flows. Peña Nieto aims to protect the population under the assumption that demand for drugs from the US is so strong that any attempt to eradicate will prove fruitless.
The new president's message has been consistent: Mexicans want an effective government, one that can address and resolve pending issues (mainly economic reforms) and deliver a more robust economy. He does not dismiss the issue of violence – in fact, his proposal is to adopt a policing and judicial strategy rather than a military one. But his focus is on steep economic growth, a strategy that necessarily must include peace for Mexico's citizens.
Both issues are closely related to the United States.
On the economic front, the connection is through trade. For Americans, the North American Free Trade Agreement is one more trade pact, even if a highly politicized one. For Mexicans, NAFTA is the foremost source of legal certainty for investors and companies in general. Mexico sought a trade agreement with the US essentially because it was a way to "borrow" American institutions and legal certainties.

Around 11:00 a.m. a crew of construction workers files into La Nica Tortilla restaurant, where a sign reads, "Comida para llevar $3.50." Next door at La Fritanga, a Honduran place, tables with checkered cloths and rustic wooden chairs await a sparse lunch-hour clientele. On the corner, in front of OTI Coin Laundry, a motley crew of old men and young toughs is gathered, holding plastic thimbles of sweet café or swigging beverages from containers covered with small paper bags. A teenage boy with dreadlocks rides by on a bicycle, carrying his laughing girlfriend on the handlebars. A truck carting a load of stained mattresses rumbles down the street.
"This neighborhood has seen two eras," Campa says, as he watches the busy street from his bench, "one that started in the Sixties, the other in the Eighties. The Cubans from the first immigration to Miami lived here. Then more Cubans and Central Americans arrived. But the Cubans from the second immigration in 1980 were Cubans educated under the Castro regime, and Little Havana started to take on a more cosmopolitan character. The Cubans from the first era started to leave because they were educated; they had money. Now there are more Central Americans here than Cubans. Culturally that enriches the neighborhood, but economically it stagnates it.
"In Little Havana," he adds, "the squalor is due to two factors: You have one group marked by a regime that destroyed their hopes and dreams, and others who, for other reasons, reasons having to do with bad government, had to immigrate here. The ones who came for economic reasons aren't rich; they're not doctors or engineers or lawyers. If they were they wouldn't have ended up here in this neighborhood. These aren't people who lost it. They just never had it. It's not the story of those who haven't triumphed. It's the story of those who can't triumph."
Frequently Campa appears as one of the down-and-out characters in his own poetry, and he is not surprised that, as an educated man who speaks fluent English, he would end up living on the streets of Little Havana. "Remember, the only people who are masters of their destiny are those with the means to forge their own destiny," he says matter-of-factly. "The only thing I've aspired to is to be a little less unfortunate."
Campa grew up in a solar, a tenement in Havana's poor Centro Habana neighborhood. "One bathroom for 100 families," he recalls. "Thieves and degenerates lived there, and hard-working family men." His father, who was Chinese, was an English teacher who became a housepainter to support his family. His mother was black, and for that reason was not accepted by his father's relatives. So his parents struggled on their own.
He recalls two milestones of his childhood. The first was an operation when he was a toddler. Pointing to two knobby scars next to his thumbs, he explains that he was born with twelve fingers. He can still remember the horrifying scraping noise of a doctor cutting them off with a saw. The second momentous event came when he was fourteen: His mother died. "Things went downhill after that," says Campa, a handsome man with almond eyes and freckled mahogany skin. "I was fifteen when I was arrested."
The year was 1968. An honor student at school, Campa spent his free time hanging out with a group of teenagers who congregated around the fountain in front of Havana's seaside Hotel Nacional. "There were 2000 or 3000 young people in Cuba with long hair and stovepipe pants listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones," he recalls. "We were influenced by what was happening in the United States with the civil rights movement and the Black Panthers. We were young freethinkers.
"One day Castro heard about the young people going against the model of the revolution," Campa continues. "He didn't want the youth sitting around and talking and thinking for themselves. He wanted them to work for the system. So one day the police came and rounded them up and took them to a work camp. I was among them."
Campa was removed from high school and sent to a camp where he worked in the fields "from sunup to sundown." After fourteen months he was sent home. But rather than return to school, he began studying on his own. When he was nineteen years old, he passed an exam and entered the University of Havana. "I started living a double life," he explains. "I said what they wanted me to say and thought something else. It's a kind of conscious schizophrenia. What is [Castro's] 'new man'? The same old man in different clothes."
Campa studied philosophy and literature at the university and simultaneously held a job teaching socioeconomics at a technical school. He says he was fired when a Santería amulet fell out of his pocket in the school director's office. (Like Catholicism and Judaism, the practice of Afro-Cuban religions was forbidden in Cuba at the time.)
He began selling books on the street, and worked in a factory. Since childhood Campa had written poetry, usually inspired by his immediate surroundings. In 1979 he wrote a book of poems about his poor Central Havana neighborhood. He says officials at the state publishing house found his descriptions of tenement life to be "too close to reality." Campa says he was arrested, charged with being anti-revolutionary, and sentenced to eight years in prison, but released after only 40 days when he signed a retraction admitting that his writing was subversive and apologizing for offending the state.

Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
TORONTO -- One by one, the Toronto Raptors silently funneled out of the locker room following their second straight blowout loss at home.
They had gone just as quietly against the Utah Jazz.
Deron Williams had 18 points, 16 assists and eight rebounds, leading the Jazz to a 113-87 victory on Wednesday night.
2010 NBA Playoffs
The 2010 NBA playoff picture is taking shape. Check out the up-to-the-minute matchups here:
Playoff pairings
"[The Jazz are] good, they're one of the best teams in the West," Raptors forward Chris Bosh said. "But that's still no excuse. We didn't come to play.
"Yeah, they're good, but we have to [say], 'Who cares? We're still going to win this game.' And I don't think we have that fire right now."
Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Mehmet Okur and rookie Wesley Matthews had 16 points apiece for the Jazz, who won their third straight and improved to 28-8 in their past 36 games. Seven Jazz players finished with at least 12 points.
"Great game for us, man. It was fun," Boozer said.
Bosh celebrated his 26th birthday with a 20-point performance for the Raptors (35-35), who fell 1 1/2 games behind Charlotte and Miami in the race for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
Bosh said it wasn't his job to motivate his teammates.
"I can't instill it in guys," Bosh said. "You have to have it on your own. As much as I would like to do everything, I can't do everything. Personally, you have to bring something to the plate. Whatever gets guys going, we have to find it."
Antoine Wright had 10 of his 15 points in the second quarter for the Raptors, while Andrea Bargnani added 12 and Jose Calderon 10.
On a night where both teams donned retro jerseys, Williams and Boozer channeled their inner John Stockton and Karl Malone to make easy work of the Raptors, beating them for the 10th straight time.
Williams used his deft court vision to find teammates for uncontested layups or open 3-pointers, or to slash to the hoop himself. Boozer excelled down low using an array of layups, putbacks and short hook shots. And like Stockton and Malone, Utah's current dynamic duo didn't hesitate to use the occasional pick-and-roll to befuddle the Raptors, who looked mostly flat in front of a testy Air Canada Centre crowd.
"We could not contain Deron Williams from the start of the game," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "He goes out and we get it to 14 [points], he comes back in and it's 20. He just goes where he wants to go and does what he wants to do.
"His line is deceiving ... 18 [points] and 16 [assists], he was better than that."
Up 18 entering the second half, the Jazz were content to trade baskets with the Raptors for the majority of the third quarter. Utah was up 87-67 after three.
Toronto closed within 13 early in the fourth quarter, but Boozer's basket -- on Williams' 14th assist of the game -- ignited a 7-0 Utah run that put the game out of reach, sending fans scurrying for the exits.
Triano said he thought his team's effort was "good." Point guard Jarrett Jack disagreed.
"We got our butts kicked, bottom line," Jack said. "I don't think anybody in here is into moral victories. We fought hard and got blown out. That's just the way I feel about it."
Boozer's 10 points helped Utah take a 33-17 advantage after one. The Jazz led 61-43 at halftime.
Game notes
The Raptors donned their blue-and-white Huskies jerseys for Wednesday's game, while the Jazz went with green-and-gold road uniforms they wore for two seasons in the early-1980s. ... Raptors G Marco Belinelli missed his second straight game with a sore lower back, while F Hedo Turkoglu sat out the second half with a stomach virus. Jazz F Andrei Kirilenko was out with a strained calf muscle. ... Utah is assured a winning record for the 23rd time in the last 24 years. ... There have been 236 NBA coaching changes since Jerry Sloan first took over as Utah's coach in December 1988. Denver, New York and the Clippers have all switched coaches 12 times in that span. The Raptors are on their seventh head coach.

I thought I couldn't be in a better mood, after seeing an article appear over at The Weekly Crisis, all about Black Label Comics. I hope you will all check it out, it was a fantastic comics blog even before writing a feature on one of our books!
And then, our comics were mentioned briefly on MOMBCast (episode 50), who were just as kind to us. You should definitely check it out. Quotes include "Stupidly Gorgeous," "brilliant cover," "reads really well," and "the voice of the characters is good".
Intellectually, I know that there will be negative reviews, but personally I have to confess it feels really fantastic to hear respected comics people saying such nice things about our work.

March 10, 2006
I opened my eyes. The room around me was a sterile white, lit by dully efficient fluorescent tubes in the ceiling. My body was resting on a bed lined with lightweight blankets. I felt scratchy all over, mostly due to a thin white hospital gown that served as my clothing. What the-? That meant someone else had dressed me. And my fur was clean. That meant someone had undressed me to wash my body. I felt violated.
My ears, normally so keen, had been off-duty. I now noted the whirring, buzzing or beeping sounds of machinery. A monitor to my left displayed my real-time vital statistics, pulse, blood pressure and heart rate. There were tubes connected to me, and sensors that fed the EKG machine data about my well-being. In the corner opposite my bed, a television was mounted on the wall. It was tuned to a local news channel with the sound muted. The anchor lady mouthed words I couldn't hear, but white subtitle text displayed what she was saying. "Congressman Jack Archer is in federal custody today facing charges of attempted homicide on a man and woman in connection to a tax evasion scheme that the FBI says may have lasted nearly three decades. Archer was taken into custody Wednesday when released from a hospital after it was believed he suffered an animal bite. The IRS issued a statement Thursday that Archer may have hidden several million dollars in income per year in offshore accounts. It was discovered that Archer had arranged for federal defense contracts to funnel money into his own company without revealing the conflict of interest. In other news, authorities are saying that the exciting vehicle pursuit through midtown Washington, D.C. three days ago may have been part of a movie stunt being filmed without permits. Police are investigating the incident." No mention was made of my escapades on the White House lawn. I chuckled. The government must be in full damage-control mode.
Ouch. It hurt to laugh. I looked down at my side and saw bandages covering the spot where an agent's bullet had gone in. Other bandages covered cuts and the puncture wound on my handpaw that I had suffered while vaulting over a spiky wrought iron fence in Philadelphia. My fur had been shaved in a few places to allow bandages to stick, or where it had been stained brown from dried blood. My personal clothing was all missing except for an old leather jacket draped over the back of a chair near the door. My cowboy hat sat on top of a manila envelope, which was placed atop a neatly folded, zigzag-patterned quilt. To the right of my bed was a small rolling table, upon which was a cheap glass vase filled with orange, white and yellow flowers. A get well card was leaned up against the vase. I smiled a little.
The door opened and a female doctor dressed in light blue surgical scrubs walked in. "Ahh, Mr. Tayle. You're awake. How do you feel?"
"I've been better," I said, surprised that the doctor was actually friendly. "But I've also been worse. Where am I?"
"You've been asleep nearly three days," said the doctor. "My name is Dr. Paula Klinger. You're at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. I'm told that you're a bit of a war hero."
War hero? That was a bit much. "I was just doing my job back then, ma'am," I said modestly.
"We all were," replied Dr. Klinger. "I served four years as an Army medic. When I came home I went to work here. I've seen all kinds of injuries. Never a patient like you, though."
I grinned. "This is what happens when you spend too much time in a foxhole, Doc."
She laughed.
A buzzer sounded outside my room. The doctor excused herself and walked out. Minutes later, she returned. "You have visitors," Klinger said, her voice sounding surprised.
A few people entered the room. The first I noticed was Diana, her bruised face on the mend. She was already beginning to look beautiful again. She threw her arms around me and we hugged for the first time in what felt like ages. Behind her was Bob Farley, who tipped his black FBI baseball cap when he and I made eye contact. Four more people walked in, one woman and three men. The first two were Diana's parents, Bill and Jean. The third, an old white-bearded man, was Dr. Ted Cardiff, followed by a much younger Latino man I recognized as Carlos Padrino, the BioCon custodian who had helped me escape several months before. "Hey, muchacho," Carlos said, "It's good to see you. I wondered what happened to you. Then I got a call from your girl two days ago. Figured I'd fly out and see the Capital for a little while. How're you doing, man?"
"Better now," I said with a pained smile as I held Diana's hand.
Cardiff walked slowly to the edge of the bed and looked down at me. "Hi, Dad," I said, unsure what else to call the scientist who had made me what I was. "I think I owe you an apology."
Cardiff looked like he was about to cry. "No, Fox. I'm a foolish old man and I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry for what happened to you. I've agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department and testify against Archer. And I'm retiring."
I reached over to shake his bony old hand with my uninjured handpaw. "You're a better man than I gave you credit."
The door opened one more time and another man walked in, flanked by other men in dark suits. "Well, looks like the gang's all here," came the Texan-accented voice of the President of the United States. "I'll be fine, you guys can wait outside."
"Mr. President!" I said, shocked. "I, uh, wasn't expecting you, sir."
"Neither was I when you showed up outside my office a few days ago," President Bush said. "I've heard interesting things about you."
I gulped awkwardly. "What kind of things, sir?"
The President straightened his necktie. "The kind of things that most people would go to prison over. But you also did some remarkable deeds, acts of heroism at home and service to this country abroad. Luckily, Mr. Farley here says that the money confiscated by the IRS from Congressman Archer's accounts should cover the damage you've caused - or that he indirectly caused while trying to cover his tracks.
"You came all the way across this great nation to seek me out for mercy, Mr. Tayle. You probably didn't have to, and probably shouldn't have done it the way you did. But considering the odds against you, I'm impressed. I have issued a full presidential pardon. Your record, and yours too, Miss Foxworthy, are clean."
I was nearly speechless. "Th- thank you, sir," I stammered.
The President shook my handpaw firmly. "You will also be recognized as the first non-human United States citizen," he said. "You should receive the documentation in the mail soon. Congratulations, Fox."
Now I really was speechless.
The President checked his watch. "I have a Cabinet meeting in forty-five minutes, so I must be going." He shook hands with everyone and walked out the door.
"What just happened?" I said, stunned.
"I think we just got our lives back," Diana said softly.

Finished Quilt - Madrona Road Herringbone
Simple, straight line quilting made quick work of getting this quilt finished over the weekend.
Made from a jelly roll of Madrona Road by Violet Craft, this quilt contains a piece of every fabric in the collection. I also added strips of Kona Cotton in white and ash to break up all those prints.
Sized for a small child, it measures 42" x 49".
I realized after I started putting the top together that the design echoed one of the prints, aptly named Broken Herringbone. It was the natural choice for the back. The black and white striped binding picks up all the black tones in the fabrics.
As always, the binding is machine stitched and I used my favorite method of gluing it down first. This photo shows the stitching along the front binding edge, catching it along the back edge. Works every time!
I really enjoyed sewing the herringbone design and would like to make it again with a more deliberate placement of the prints, rather than the random placement in this quilt. Hmmm...and maybe a tutorial, too.
Happy Sewing,
Tessa Marie

As tturedraider has noted, pushback on those items should be able to get them cancelled.
The wheel and tire insurance has some value, specially in high pothole areas. The price she was charged for it seems really high, based on what others have reported paying.
The $2500 maintenance plan will only pay for itself if she gets 2 brake jobs out of it, otherwise it is a stunning money pit. Check the "miles to brake change" indicator on the dash to see how many miles to the next brake job, and then figure out if you think it will go through 2 sets in the 42k miles she could own the car before the plan expires. Unless it is very close to the next change, I don't see that one making a lot of sense at that price, either.

It's true - we are finishing the Valentine's month joining the promotion of "everything is Grey," and it's not just about the movie, but design trends have also been on a "grey" theme for some time.
Designer Denise Butchko gave a presentation at Lanham, MD-based Closet America, emphasizing how design is driving growth in the industry and the variety of opportunities available.
So many academic forestry programs have transformed themselves into "ecosystems" programs over the last decade or so that some say this new definition of "those who study the forest" is too broad for potential employers to evaluate. But is really is a matter of perspective.
Cabinetmakers often find themselves searching for pesky joints and studs while up a ladder. My state of affairs was worse because my stud finder was driving me nuts. I needed to find a tool that would allow me to regain my faith in electronic stud finder technology.
The Department of Homeland Security should be sitting pretty comfortably these days. Between fiscal year 2010 and 2014, the DHS spent approximately $148 million on office furniture and makeovers.
The toolbox you lug around on the job site is usually nothing more that a container for your tools. It's a single-purpose necessity for keeping your most-often used tools handy. A creative group of guys have set out to redefine what a toolbox should be. They call it the Coolbox.

Trust worthy services in Broward? Cleaning, dog walking, car repair/maintenance, exterminator, etc??? (self.Broward)
submitted 2 years ago by puttheremoteinherbut
I am moving to West/Central Broward in the next 45 days and hate having to search for reliable services. Anyone have any thoughts on great trustworthy / timely / thorough services?
I guess Angie's list.com is doable....but not sure if it is any good.
[–]foreverisnever 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I know two cleaning services. A house and a commercial cleaner. But not if you are going to put a mote in their butts.
I can also give you the name of the exterminator company that my work uses.
[–]puttheremoteinherbut[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Well, it is either the "put the remote in her butt" or " pu there mote in her butt". Either way, I'll not be putting anything into anyone's butt that I hire.

Metal Gear Scanlon 3: Part 03
Become Premium to Watch
There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.
Ten years later, this frustrating follow-up to Canvas Curse feels shallow and soulless by comparison.
The chaos and fun of Saints Row is fully intact in the underworld, but a new setting can only go so far.
Concept »
An MMORPG set in the world of Nirn, focusing on the familiar continent of Tamriel, taking place a thousand years before The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.
The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
Enter the Shivering Isles, the lands ruled by the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath. Battle your way through the twisted landscape, become the champion of Sheogorath, and help save the isles from the destructive Greymarch.
Travel the continent of Tamriel, defend the land against Oblivion's Daedra hordes, and help fill the empty throne of Cyrodiil in the fourth installment of the Elder Scrolls series.
The third entry in Bethesda's series of expansive first-person role-playing games. Arriving on the island of Vvardenfell as a prisoner, the player character is caught up in an ancient prophecy, as well as a power struggle between factions, races, and gods incarnate.
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall from Bethesda Softworks is an enormous RPG and sequel to The Elder Scrolls: Arena. It includes a massive gameworld and pioneering freeform play. It was well received for these factors, but was criticised for a number of crippling bugs.
The Elder Scrolls: Arena is the first in its series. The Emperor has been imprisoned in another dimension by the evil Jagar Tharn, who is impersonating him. It's up to you to find all eight pieces of the Staff of Chaos to defeat him and bring order back to Tamriel.

It is known as the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II (APG II) botanical classification system. The angiosperms came to be considered a group at the division level (comparable to the phylum level in animal classification......be placed in orders, and other new studies called for adjustments in the circumscription of particular families and orders. These changes were incorporated into an update in 2003 of the APG known as APG II, and the synopsis of flowering-plant classification presented here follows the APG II system. The number of recognized orders increased from 40 in the original APG system to 62 in APG II,...Malvales

Somic HD MH463 Open-air Dynamic Pro Headphones (Black)
"Firstly, a big thank you to Joe for helping me get a pair of MH463s . I've had them now for over 4 months. These are my thoughts. Out of the box I was impressed: They looks pretty nice, there's reassuring weight to the construction and comfort is serviceable. The body is mostly metal. As established though, long term comfort isn't great: the cups are just too shallow. Most will probably buy..." --Naschy
Somic Head-band Music Audio Headphone Earphone Headset MH489
"So I bought myself the Somic MH489 because I stumbled upon it on this site... I liked the idea of the Sony XB500 but don 't like the Sony sound, so I took a dive with this one. You mainly find this one on Ali express for prices between $70 and $200 (no joke !) but I found one for $57 shipped to Belgium. What the heck, I just did it. It arrived after close to one month and it was packed..." --Teska
Somic E-95 v2010 Real 5.1 Surround Headset
" These Headphones were the first "good" headphones I bought. Before them, all I could find in my ****ty country were extremely low quality unknown brands or Philips ****. This Headset has 6 speakers, from which 2 are high-quality front speakers and the other 4 are the rear and center speakers, which have lower volume and quality and also two vibration units, one in each..." --wetto
Somic EFi82MT
" As per my thread on the Somic EFi-82 MT: In 2010, there was Superlux. In early 2012, there was Jaycar. Several months ago, there was JVC's HA-S line. Head-Fi's ability to find mid-fi headphones at downright laughable prices has always been commendable. But all too often, these headphones get bragged up as being better than flagship models of established audio..." --CashNotCredit
Somic G989 Real 5.1 Surround
" "An awesome headset for gaming, but for gaming only" would be an accurate one-line resume of this headphone. The strategically positioned eight drivers create an extremely realistic and accurate surround ambient, without the use of any low quality effects or gimmicks. The bass is nice, the vibration can be controlled and turned off, the mids are smooth and nice and the..." --wetto

Mauresmo and her family
May 26th, 2004, 01:15 PM
Why were they estranged? Because she's gay perhaps? :confused:
May 26th, 2004, 01:52 PM
Yes and yes. Although in the past year or so (?) there's been some reconcilliation. A few articles I've read give credit to Mauresmo's now-ex gf, Pascale Arribe, for mending that relationship but I suspect the passage of time had a lot to do with it as well. Usually, even the most homophobic parents eventually manage to remember in time that they do love their children and people start to work through their differences.
