You could not help but feel for Colin Powell and other U.S. government officials during the inaugural meeting of the Group of Eight's "Forum for the Future" in Rabat on December 11. Instead of discussing how the United States and its partners can provide technical and diplomatic support for political, economic and social change in the Arab world as he had intended, the U.S. secretary of state spent much of his time responding to withering Arab criticism of U.S. Middle East policy, particularly Washington's support for Jerusalem.
Although Powell and his host, Moroccan Foreign Minister Mohamed Benaissa, did their best to portray the meeting as a success, the forum's meager results reflected the Arab effort to shift responsibility for reform in the region to the U.S. and Israel.
Since President Bush and members of his administration began publicly endorsing reform in the Arab world shortly after the attacks of September 11, Arab officials, spokesmen and editorialists have consciously linked progressive change in their societies to a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For example, in an address to the gathered delegates in Rabat, Arab League secretary general Amr Moussa seemed to question the premise of the U.S. reform policy when asked, "How can this partnership [between the Arab world and the West to promote reform] be achieved without settling the Palestinian issue?"
From their perspective, the quality of governance in the Arab world has not generated anti-Americanism and spawned terrorist groups. Instead, Arab leaders argue, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Washington's overwhelming support for Jerusalem is directly responsible for America's poor image in the region as well as the rise of extremism. Thus the first order of business for the U.S. in the Middle East is not to pressure the Arab world to reform its political systems and economies, but to work toward a just and final resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
There are, of course, differences of opinion within inter-Arab councils. Typically, the emir of Qatar has broken away from the Arab consensus. While harshly critical of Israeli policies, the Qatari leader has consistently argued that reform should not be used as a condition for more active U.S. diplomatic engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Somewhat of an outcast within the Arab world, Doha's position has failed to influence anyone in the Arab world outside the emir's own court.
The Bush administration rejects the Arab consensus, invoking its predecessors' eight long years of shepherding Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that brought no peace and spurred precious little political and economic development in the Arab world. In fact, the White House has sought to turn the Arab position on its head, arguing that just and lasting peace in the region is a function of reform, not the other way around.
Coincidentally, this was a theme that then-Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized in his landmark speech to a joint session of Congress in July 1996. The underlying assumption of Netanyahu's speech and the Bush administration's overarching strategy is based on what political scientists call the "democratic peace" theory, which posits that democracies do not fight each other. The historical record seems to provide support for the democratic peace, but there are significant risks of promoting democratic change in the Middle East. In a more open political environment, forces hostile to both Washington and Jerusalem could conceivably come to power in the region. This is precisely the result Arab leaders warn will occur if the U.S. pushes for reform in the Arab world, but does not pursue a more active and balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In fact, Egyptian officials are explicit on this point. There is no doubt in their minds that the Muslim Brotherhood would tear up the Egypt-Israel peace treaty upon assuming power.
Islamist hostility to Israel and the U.S. over the continued suffering of Palestinians and the ongoing occupation is cause for considerable concern, but the warnings of Arab leaders need to be treated with some skepticism. Arab governments have become adept at using Washington's unhappy experience with the Iranian revolution or the chaos of Algeria after that country's aborted elections in 1992 to deflect U.S. pressure on reform. At the same time, it would be remiss to reject the widely held view in the Arab world that there is a link between the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and reform.
Like it or not, both U.S. and Israeli policymakers must understand that the Arab world sees much of what Washington does in the Middle East through the prism of Israel's occupation. As long as Jerusalem continues building settlements, restricting the movement of Palestinians and engaging in collective punishment with Washington's perceived blessing, the U.S. will be seen in the Arab world as the purveyor of insidious double standards. Whether justified or not in the face of security threats, when the Israel Defense Forces razes homes, closes the West Bank and Gaza, and engages in massive detentions of Palestinians, it damages Washington's progressive message to the Arab world about the benefits of more democratic polities, expanded economic opportunities and social reform.
Given the interdependence of relations between the Palestinians and Israelis, changes on the ground in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are not solely Jerusalem's responsibility, but making life easier on the Palestinian population and progress at the negotiating table would do much to undermine the ability of Arab leaders to deflect Washington's call for progressive political and economic development.

Most 4X games I've seen over the past decade have been using the mainstream Research system (a system I've even seen employed in various other games, such as XCOM to state a contemporary title).
In essence, the system gives you resources (research points) that are a measure of time invested towards achieving a discovery in a given field.
In many 4X games, you have control over this resource by building variants of a research complex / science building of some sorts.
There are two side-effects of this system I'd like to discuss here:
1 - This creates a time reference where a game turn appears "longer" and "slower-paced"
The concept itself hints that you're actually doing the research in fields never before experimented with. Researches take time, and discoveries take even more. From the player's standpoint, if 5 game turns yield you a major discovery, you'd be tempted to count these turns in matter of months or years, and the overall relative time flow of the game will be affected.
2 - It becomes a "must" as it increases exponentially your army's efficiency, and it becomes impossible to achieve victory with sub-par technology
Let's face it, most 4X games are won by technology. Efficient ship design will not matter, not matter how well you can concentrate your force, if your opponent's science is two notches ahead of you. And it's extremely hard for developers to balance technology in a way there there aren't necessarily bad choices.
In most games I've played, investing in economy, in an effort to bring numbers, was always much weaker than investing in tech and have the next-gen shield/laser.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, as a tech-race might be fun gameplay too (especially given the choices) but it generally gets old, especially after playing yout 101st 4X game in a row.
Therefore, I'd like to discuss an embryo of a suggestion I believe might work better, which assesses both of the previous side-effects.
The concept, in and of itself, is that rather than having the player perform the research of new technologies, they'd rather need to fit their infrastructures in order to support existing (but hardly mainstream) technologies.
This system supposes that Beams/Shields techs 1-10 already exist and are established facts amongst the scientific populace, but have yet to be used outside of their testing labs.
As a result, rather than invest in scientists and their labs to come up with proof of concept, all you need to do is retrofit your starbase with the necessary tools/components/resources to build such gear.
Each "technological advancement" is a sizeable investment you need to make in terms of resources, and just because one of your starbases has acquired the capability to produce tech 7 beams doesn't mean the others do.
This creates a form of localized investment which is repeatable and requires consideration.
It assesses # 1 in that it would be possible to think of a game turn as 1 day or 1 week, given that the tech already exists and only requires you to burn overtime hours in setting up your infrastructures to build it.
It assessed # 2 in that it hardly scales. While its quite possible that one of your starbase quickly becomes maxed out with high-tier components, it doesn't help you defend the outskirts as your built ships will require you to move the extra distance. Likewise, if you want several starbases to be maxed out, you'll be spending a hefty count of resources to keep them up to speed, and that will mean that much less ships in your fleet.
It also comes with a finite endpoint (say 10) so that it avoids power creeping past the initial state of investments.
More importantly, it can factor local resources and whatnot, in such a way that you can only produce level 10 beams from a specific starbase in your empire, which is nowhere near your level 10 shield starbase. Assembly requires you to ferry parts aboard large freighters and find a suitable starbase to assemble the actual ships.
I've been tinkering with such a system and I'm trying to find the potential pros/cons I may not have discovered so far.

After burping out a series of noxious spoofs from Date Movie to Epic Movie to Meet the Spartans, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer might, you'd hope, be ready to return to the Comedy Central kind of humor seen in Scary Movie. But with Vampires Suck, a collage of slaps at Twilight, Jersey Shore, and anything that's been on the cover of People this year, the directors only add to their dungpile.
Becca Crane (Jenn Proske), a mutated-wench version of Kristen Stewart's Twilight protagonist, must endure Jacob White (Chris Riggi) and Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), two slapstick rejects who pine for her affections and her blood. This is less a parody and more a breezy compilation of vampire flicks that gets no life from its D-list comedians.
Will it top Rotten Tomatoes' worst of the worst at year's end? If anyone still remembers it by then, it'll be the leading candidate.

Asian markets posted modest gains on Monday, as Chinese trade data was broadly supportive of sentiment.
A raft of economic data released over the weekend indicated an improvement in Asia's largest economy. China posted its highest industrial production numbers since March—10.1% on-year growth in November, compared with economists' median forecast of 9.8% growth.
China's Consumer Price Index rose 2.0% in November, bouncing back from 1.7% in October—its slowest rate of inflation in three years.
The final China piece to come was trade data, which came out on Monday. China had a $19.6 billion trade surplus in November, down sharply from October's $32.0 billion surplus and below expectations for a $27.8 billion surplus.
The disappointing trade data made stocks, which started the session higher, moderate their earlier gains.
Shares in mainland China received the biggest boost, with the Shanghai Composite climbing 1.1% to 2083.77.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 0.4% to 22276.72. Among the best performers in the Hang Seng Index were China Resources Power Holdings and gaming company Sands China, which were both up 2.5%.
Cnooc rose 1.1% in Hong Kong after the Canadian government approved the Chinese oil firm's $15.1 billion takeover bid for energy Nexen, China's largest ever foreign acquisition.
Also in Hong Kong, insurer AIA was in focus—down 0.3%—after AIG became eligible on Monday to sell its entire 13.7% stake of the Asian insurer.
Sentiment was also supported by employment data out of the U.S. on Friday, where the economy added 146,000 jobs in November, above expectations for the addition of 80,000 jobs, though there was caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting later in the week.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened against South Korea's won, dropping below the KRW1,080 mark for the first time since September 2011, at 1,078.29 won to the dollar.
The U.S. dollar weakened slightly against the yen, at ¥82.32.
Although the U.S. dollar failed to move higher against the yen last week, recent data from the International Monetary Market showed that noncommercial yen short positions against the dollar rose in the week up to December 4, suggesting that speculators are still expecting the Japanese currency to fall.
Stocks in Japan started their election week little moved, with the Nikkei up 0.1% at 9533.75, ahead of Sunday's election, which the Liberal Democratic Party is widely expected to win.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.1% to 4557.90, with mining stocks higher despite China's below-view trade surplus. Iron ore miners rose after China's trade data showed an 8.2% on-year increase in year-to-date iron ore imports. Rio Tinto rose 1.9% and Fortescue Metals Group jumped 6.9%.
South Korea's Kospi was flat at 1957.42, with index heavyweight Samsung Electronics up 0.7%, after hitting an all-time high earlier in the session.

The latest figures from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reveal that currently 366 million people have diabetes, 4.6 million deaths are due to diabetes and US$ 465 billion is spent on care for diabetes. This disease is one of the century's greatest health challenges and remains on a relentlessly upwards trajectory.
IDF has brought together world experts to develop a coherent framework of action to respond to the diabetes challenge. These cost-effective solutions for action by governments, health care professionals and the global diabetes community are presented in IDF's Global Diabetes Plan 2011-2021.
The Plan sets out a framework of action for the next ten years to guide governments, healthcare providers and civil society. It is a milestone document that has been developed by experts and we have consulted widely on its recommendations. We believe it will do much to prevent avoidable deaths and improve the health of people with diabetes.
The Global Diabetes Plan was launched on 18 September in New York at the "Global Diabetes Symposium: Finding the Way to Global Action", an event co-sponsored by the International Diabetes Federation and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Ponzi Schemes
The Attorney General provides Consumer Alerts to inform the public of unfair, misleading, or deceptive business practices, and to provide information and guidance on other issues of concern. Consumer Alerts are not legal advice, legal authority, or a binding legal opinion from the Department of Attorney General.
The largest recent example of a Ponzi scheme was that operated by Bernard Madoff, who scammed investors out of billions of dollars. Even though many consumers may think Ponzi schemes are rare and easy to spot, in reality, Ponzi schemes are common, and can fool even very experienced investors into investing large sums of money. This Consumer Alert will provide you with some helpful tips on how to avoid falling for a Ponzi scheme, what to do if you become a victim and where to find additional information.
A Ponzi scheme?--What's that?
A Ponzi scheme is named after Charles Ponzi, who is believed to be the inventor of this type of scam. In the early 20th century, Mr. Ponzi convinced investors that they would get a 40 to 50% on their investment in International Postal Reply Coupons (IPRCs) within 90 days. Early investors received payouts as promised because Mr. Ponzi was using funds from later investors to give the promised payouts to earlier investors. The scam continued to grow, as more and more investors, lured by stories of huge payouts, invested their money in IPRCs. Eventually, the scheme collapsed, but not before investors paid Mr. Ponzi several million dollars - which was an astronomical sum, especially in the early 20th century.
Present day Ponzi schemes operate in essentially the same way as their namesake. Early investors, lured by promises of huge payouts in a short amount of time, invest large sums of money (sometimes even millions of dollars) in whatever investment the perpetrator is selling at a given time. The perpetrator may be offering investments in real estate, natural resources (i.e., oil or natural gas reserves), or any other type of investment a creative perpetrator can come up with.
The hallmark of a "successful" Ponzi scheme is that early investors will receive their payouts as promised. Early investors spread their tales of success to unwittingly entice new investors into the scam. Ponzi schemes may continue to grow for several months, or possibly several years, before people eventually catch on, and the scheme collapses.
If experienced investors fall for ponzi schemes, how can I spot and avoid them?
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Perpetrators of Ponzi schemes usually guarantee high returns in a short amount of time. Legitimate investments always involve risk, especially in the volatile economic environment that we are currently experiencing. If you are promised a guaranteed return on your investment, or if you are promised a huge return on your investment for very little risk, beware!
- Watch out for promoters who do not provide you with clear explanations of how the investment works, or who refuse to provide you with detailed information in writing. If the person selling the investment refuses to explain how the investment works because it is "too complicated" or "not something you need to worry about", this is a warning sign of potential trouble. The same is true if a seller refuses to provide you with written information on the investment, and how it works. It is very important that you understand your investments and how they work.
- Do your homework before you invest. Most Ponzi schemes are set up as investment contracts, which are considered securities. All securities sold in the State of Michigan must be registered, and for the most part, anyone selling securities is required to be licensed. To check to see if the seller is licensed, visit the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) at http://www.michigan.gov/lara/0,4601,7-154-10555_13047_32915---,00.html, or call LARA Securities Division at 517-241-6345.
- Sleep on it. Don't allow yourself to be rushed into investing your money. If a promoter is trying to rush you into investing with promises of huge returns "but only if you act now," walk away.
If you've been approached to invest in what appears to be a Ponzi scheme, or if you have invested in what you believe to be a Ponzi scheme, file a complaint with LARA's Bureau of Commercial Services. For more information on how to file a securities complaint with LARA, and for a link to the complaint form, please visit http://www.michigan.gov/difs/0,5269,7-303-12902_12907---,00.html or call 1-877-999-6442.

Rebif Injection
REBIF (interferon beta-1a) is a purified 166 amino acid glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 22,500 daltons. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology using genetically engineered Chinese Hamster Ovary cells into which the human interferon beta gene has been introduced. The amino acid sequence of REBIF is identical to that of natural fibroblast derived human interferon beta. Natural interferon beta and interferon beta-1a (REBIF) are glycosylated with each containing a single N-linked complex carbohydrate moiety.
Using a reference standard calibrated against the World Health Organization natural interferon beta standard (Second International Standard for Interferon, Human Fibroblast GB 23 902 531), REBIF has a specific activity of approximately 270 million international units (MIU) of antiviral activity per mg of interferon beta-1a determined specifically by an in vitro cytopathic effect bioassay using WISH cells and Vesicular Stomatitis virus. REBIF 8.8 mcg, 22 mcg and 44 mcg contains approximately 2.4 million international units, 6 million international units or 12 million international units, respectively, of antiviral activity using this method.
REBIF (interferon beta-1a) is formulated as a sterile solution in a prefilled syringe or REBIF Rebidose autoinjector intended for subcutaneous (sc) injection. Each 0.5 mL (0.5 cc) of REBIF contains either 22 mcg or 44 mcg of interferon beta-1a, 2 mg or 4 mg albumin (human), 27.3 mg mannitol, 0.4 mg sodium acetate, and water for injection. Each 0.2 mL (0.2 cc) of REBIF contains 8.8 mcg of interferon beta-1a, 0.8 mg albumin (human), 10.9 mg mannitol, 0.16 mg sodium acetate, and water for injection.
What are the possible side effects of interferon beta-1a (Avonex, Avonex Prefilled Syringe, Rebif)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- depressed mood, anxiety, trouble sleeping, restlessness, or thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
- easy bruising or bleeding, weakness;
- seizure (convulsions);
- numbness or tingling in your hands or feet;
- pain or burning when you urinate;
- pain, swelling, or skin...

What are the precautions when taking interferon beta-1a (Rebif)?
Before using interferon, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to products containing human albumin; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Some brands of this medication contain albumin made from human blood. Even though the blood is carefully tested, and this medication goes through a special manufacturing process, there is an extremely small chance that you may get infections from the medication (for example viruses such as hepatitis). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: blood problems (e.g.,...

However, you do realize that almost every single explosive, Olympic lift is designed on a jump-catch cycle right? In the snatch you throw a weight over your head and then catch it. In a jerk you take a bar from a rack position and explosively press it overhead before catching it. How is this any different.
Olympic lifts are shown to increase bone strength, core stability and promote maximum oxygen uptake which is the most important aspect of cardiovascular fitness.
Has it already been discussed how stupid crossfit is? How they don't teach you any kind of form, just get the weight up as fast as possible so that way you can spends thousands on medical bills?
what is the point of the "pace" if the load isnt distributed efficiently? Just to say you can do it faster?
I can do half reps super fast in squat...doesnt mean I'm actually doing anything of value for longterm adaptation.
Do you get stronger with them?
Do they increase neuromuscular activation?
Do they reduce the chance of injury?
i see more rounded backs in crossfit than at the gym. You get tired...form fails.
my motor SUCKS. i am good for about 6-8 minutes then hit the wall.
can you tell me the correct way...I have asked in this thread an no one has explained how yet. I see a lot of videos of kipping that will cause injury due to acceleration placed on muscles not under load, particularly the small stabilization muscles of the shoulder.
the benefit of maximum exertion for short periods of time?
Ever heard of speed work? Universities all over the land are moving at an alarming rate to Strength & Conditioning programs based on high-intensity explosive lifts/exercises.
in Work they're interested in Power.
High-intensity full-body workouts are the most efficient was to train your body both from a strength and conditioning standpoint
If you want to be able to throw up 250 and also run a 7 minute mile
are complex compound lifts.
Isolation lifts like bench
ou really think it's the best idea to solely work your shoulders in overhead press and bench press directions?
If there's one thing I don't like about Crossfit it's the use of Olympic lifts and deadlifts in heavy rep settings.
Like you mentioned, when your body is taxed your form can fail and this is where you're susceptible to injury. I try to minimize the number of workouts I do that involve heavy reps of Olympic lifts and focus on heavy rep workouts that primarily use one's body weight.
As fatigue sets in, form fails. it's a fact.
Form fails, injuries happen.
you're telling me people doing 100 kips for speed are doing all 100 with perfect form? I smell bull shite.

Dubai Sights
Several distinct zones and quarters, each with its own purpose and atmosphere, make up the city of Dubai. The older districts around the mouth of Dubai Creek—Deira, Al-Rigga, and Bur Dubai—have developed over the last 150 years into a maze of narrow streets and alleyways that are often choked with traffic. However, the museums and attractions here are clustered close together, making this
area the most walkable in the city. You'll need to cross the creek on the abra (boat) service, about seven or eight minutes long, to get from one bank to the other.
To venture beyond this downtown core you'll need to take transportation. If you have time, buses are very cheap, new, and air-conditioned, and their routes pass by many major attractions. However, taxis are efficient, inexpensive, and metered, making them a more flexible option if you're only in Dubai for a short time and every minute counts.
Sheikh Zayed Road is the multilane road that links old Dubai with the newer Dubai districts to the south—about 15 mi to the southernmost communities. It runs 3 mi inland from the ocean and parallel with the coastline. Every well-marked intersection off Sheikh Zayed Road leads to a different district—including Dubai Marina, Emirates Hills, and Knowledge City—as well as that area's major attractions. This road is the thoroughfare for most of the traffic traveling north and south, so it's always busy. By taxi, the trip from Deira to Dubai Marina takes about 45 minutes.
Dubai doesn't use building numbers in its street addresses. People navigate by referencing major hotels, roads, intersections, or other well-known landmarks. Taxi drivers know how to reach all the main attractions, but if you're looking for something off the beaten path—say, a particular specialty store—find out which hotel, mall, or other geographical marker is close to your destination. Direct your driver to that location, so he knows the general area to which you want to go.

Auvio In Ear Armature Headphones
" I was trying to be generous with this review, I had these for fewer than two hours because of the comfort, They ACTUALLY cut up my ear canals, there is no exaggeration, my ears bled, and I've never been a fan of foam tips. Foam tips get ripped up, and really feel insecure in my ears, plus the plastic tube can become exposed and creates a level of discomfort greater than that of the silicon..." --ffdpmaggot

Lazaridis School of Business & Economics
Laurier business student earns scholarship for outstanding leadership
Dec 11/12
Megan Harris | firstname.lastname@example.com | ext 2948
Lisa Keeping | email@example.com | ext 2555
Laurier School of Business & Economics fourth year BBA student, Justin Hummel has earned a $5,000 scholarship from the Canadas Outstanding CEO of the Year Futures Fund Scholarship Program.
The Futures Fund Scholarship program was established to honour 10 Canadian university business students each year who have demonstrated exemplary leadership in their academic and extra-curricular initiatives.
"Justin's international and humanitarian achievements were truly remarkable, says Dr. Kim Morouney, associate dean of business and associate professor, School of Business & Economics. His work with the Link, especially in China, his fundraising for and commitment to development projects in Kenya, and the sheer volume of activities in which he has been able to involve himself while still succeeding in the BBA co-op program, distinguish his accomplishments from those of his peers."
Justin is currently the vice president of international relations for The Link at Laurier where he is responsible for leading the strategy, coordination, and execution of the International Student Leadership Conference in Beijing, Shenzhen and Wuhu. Most recently, he founded and currently manages a micro-financing, bee keeping project in Kenya with the purpose of empowering local youth and providing employment opportunities. Justin also continues to coordinate and execute multiple one-day conferences for over 150 international students who are enrolled in Lauriers LEAF program. He also coordinates a conference for over 160 Chinese high school students, who visit Laurier during their annual visit to Canada.
Justin is also heavily involved outside of Laurier and holds a number of ongoing leadership roles such as the volunteer project coordinator for Youth Ambassadors for Peace. He has held a number of past leadership roles such as president of The Link, vice president of conferences for The Links flagship Leadership in Business Conference, and residence representative executive for LaurierSOS.
In 2010 Justin founded and directed a charity basketball tournament called the Haifa Hoops for Kids Toronto Tournament and raised over $14,000 for underprivileged and special needs children.
Justin will be presented with his scholarship at a formal gala dinner in Toronto on January 29, 2013.

By Tiernan Ray
RBC Capital's Doug Freedman, who has for a while now been bullish on memory chip suppliers SanDisk (SNDK) and Micron Technology (MU) based on favorable conditions that have been boosting the price of DRAM and NAND parts, today defends the stocks against naysayers.
Following negative reports on the memory chip industry, such as yesterday's downgrade of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) to Equal Weight by Morgan Stanley's Shawn Kim, Freedman, who has a Buy on both SanDisk and Micron, reiterates his view that there have been structural changes that make the current cycle of memory supply and demand more stable:
Multiple downgrades away due to fears of 2014 oversupply, near-term margin peaks and seasonality creates an attractive entry point. We maintain our view that this NAND cycle is different as we believe CapEx orders will not drive the bit growth required to outstrip supply in the next 6-9 months. Moreover, SNDK is realizing cost declines that should help more than offset the threat of ASP erosion thus buoying gross margins. We believe, in large part, the negative sentiment in the past 2 days is nothing more than a typical play on seasonality as the true earnings power is being misunderstood driven by rational supply, content increases in the mobile market, and ongoing SSD demand.
Freedman offers similar thoughts on Micron, whose shares he also rates a Buy:
Shares of Micron have been pressured as a result of negative sentiment around recent DRAM pricing weakness and fear that the NAND market will be oversupplied. Our view is that DRAM pricing should trend in line with seasonal, until September where we see an inflection driven by consumer builds. We continue to view investor fears on NAND oversupply as overblown as output per tool will be lower than investors suspect on move to next-gen process technology. We use the pullback to buy ahead of upcoming catalysts including Elpida deal closure, set for tomorrow, and MU's summer analyst day on Aug 9th. In this timeframe we expect to hear details on EPS leverage as a result of Elpida. We continue to like Micron on our estimated Elpida accretion between ~$0.80-$1.00, recently reduced 2013 CapEx plan, ongoing structural improvements, gross margin expansion, and debt restructuring. We believe upcoming 16nm NAND transition and Elpida assets should drive improving ROIC over time.
SanDisk stock today is down $1.27, or 2.3%, at $54.13, while Micron shares are up 4 cents, or 0.4%, at $12.52.

Ron Cook: Bylsma tribute sensible, classyJanuary 19, 2014 10:54 PM
It was one of the nicer moments in sports, the kind that makes you glad you were able to see it. Penguins management, always classy when it comes to doing scoreboard tributes, honored Dan Bylsma in a game Wednesday night against Washington for becoming the franchise's winningest coach. The ovation was loud and long and left Bylsma …
What's the right word?
"My brother saw it on TV and told me I was squirming," Bylsma said.
"It doesn't make sense to me."
Not the tribute.
"That was overwhelming," Bylsma said.
The fact that Bylsma has more wins for an organization that has employed Herb Brooks, Badger Bob Johnson and Scotty Bowman among many others, as coaches, 235 wins to be exact going into a home game tonight against the Florida Panthers.
"There's a picture in the Consol Energy Center of the three coaches who won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins," Bylsma said.
Johnson. Bowman. Bylsma.
"It doesn't make sense to me that I'm one of the three," Bylsma said. "I'm so honored to be a part of that group."
The Penguins won the Cup under Bylsma in 2009, a few months after he replaced fired Michel Therrien. Since then, he became the first coach in franchise history to start and finish four seasons. The Penguins have had 20 coaches since 1967. The Steelers, by comparison, have had three since 1969.
For a brief time, it didn't appear as if Bylsma would get to start his fifth full season this season. There was widespread speculation that he should and would be fired after the Penguins were swept out of the Eastern Conference final last spring by the Boston Bruins. It was crazy talk. The team was not beaten because of Bylsma. It was beaten because stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, James Neal and Kris Letang failed to shine against the Bruins. Penguins general manager Ray Shero agreed, quickly giving Bylsma a two-year contract extension through the 2015-16 season.
"I really believe we have a great head coach in Dan Bylsma," Shero said at the time. "I believe he's the head coach to take us forward. I have faith in his ability."
Bylsma, who will coach the United States team next month at the Sochi Olympics, has justified the support this season. It is his best coaching job even though he refuses to go there, saying, "It's not like I say, 'This is good,' or, 'I'm really doing a good job.' I'm in the middle of it. I just know we've had challenges and we will continue to have challenges."
OK, fair enough.
I'll say it for Bylsma.
This is his best coaching job.
Bylsma won the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in 2010-11 when the Penguins finished with 106 points despite playing much of the season without injured Crosby and Malkin. But his work this season has been ever better. Every key player but Crosby, Chris Kunitz, Marc-Andre Fleury and Jussi Jokinen has missed significant playing time because of injuries. Bylsma acknowledged there have been games when the Penguins used "replacements for replacements for replacements." That was especially true Wednesday night against the Capitals when Nick Drazenovic and Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond became the 35th and 36th players to dress for the team. The Penguins, almost amazingly, still won, 4-3. That's how it has gone all season. They are 34-12-2 and took a 15-point lead in the Metropolitan Division and an eight-point lead in the Eastern Conference into the Sunday games.
"A lot of teams would shudder having to play a 13th defenseman. We don't," Bylsma said. "I don't look at the guys we call up as not being a part of our team."
Bylsma credited Shero and assistant general manager Jason Botterill, along with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coaches John Hynes and Alain Nasreddine, with establishing the same system throughout the organization.
"I know how hard it is to change teams because I lived it as a player," Bylsma said. "You have no confidence. You don't know what to do, where to go, how to play. It's tough to have success and contribute and play your game.
"It's not like that here. The guys come up here with confidence because they know what we're doing. When we call for a drill in practice, they step to the front of the line. That's a big thing for our team. Guys know what to do and how to do it …
"We've been without a Brooks Orpik for a number of games. We've been without other players. But the expectations they set are still there. The new guys step up. That's been what's great about this year's team. We've been able to win with different lines and people in different roles."
Success in the regular season is nice, but the Penguins have reached the point where they will be judged only by what they do in the postseason. Come April, they again will be among the heavy favorites to win the Cup. The team is just 3-4 in playoff series since 2009. Bylsma knows many of the fans who stood and cheered for him Wednesday night will be calling for his firing if the Penguins don't at least make it to the Stanley Cup final.
"I only have to look at the other coaching situations in town to know that's the case," Bylsma said.
Mike Tomlin has led the Steelers to two Super Bowl appearances — winning one — and is being widely criticized for missing the playoffs two years in a row. Jamie Dixon is one of the best college basketball coaches in America, yet is reminded constantly he hasn't taken a Pitt team to the Final Four.
"I know how easy it is within the calendar year to go from being smart to having to go," Bylsma said. "They tell you that you're hired to be fired. No one likes the feeling of that. But I know I'm not going to coach in Pittsburgh until I'm 65 or 72 and then retire. That's not going to be the case. But I'm not complaining. I think I've already eclipsed the average time span for a coach in the NHL."
Bylsma laughed.
"Certainly, I've done that here."
Bylsma has been around long enough to be the Penguins' winningest coach, that much we know for sure.
It makes perfect sense to me.

|Thanks for the quick reply. The light does have a bayonet base -- I had to push with my thumbs and turn them to get them out. Nothing to grab. No clip. Turns out to be MR16 flood lights with GU10 bases. What a pain. Hate how hot these lights are. Definitely want to replace with LEDs. Thanks.

Gov. Walker releases 2013-15 budget proposal
MADISON, Wis. - After weeks of unveiling his 2013-15 budget proposal piece by piece, Governor Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) laid out his full proposal to the State Legislature on Wednesday night.
The budget proposes $68 billion in spending over the next two years.That's a 3% increase in 2013-14 and a 2.1% increase in 2014-15.
"Going into this budget, we face a much different set of circumstances than we did two years ago," said Walker.
Unlike two years ago when Wisconsin was facing a $3.6 billion deficit, the state goes into this next budget with a nearly $500 million surplus.
Walker says that's why he's proposing a $343 million state income tax cut. That's about $272 a year for a family with 2 parents, 2 kids and a combbined income of $80,000.19012680
"I want to cut taxes over and over again until we are leading the country in economic recovery," he said.
Walker pledged a $475 million boost for public schools, with a significant portion of that money being based on performance.
"We want to recognize and reward excellence and replicate it in other places," he said.
In a video response posted on YouTube, State Senator Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse) said it's still not enough.
"Local public schools across the state have been struggling to make ends meet. It's time to renew our committment to our children's future and provide adequate funding to ensure that all children have access to quality education," said Shilling.
The governor is also proposing expanding school vouchers state-wide to districts with failing schools.
"In the end, our goal is simple: ensure every child - regardless of where they are from or what their family income is - has access to a great education," said Walker.
State Rep. Jill Billings (D-La Crosse) says it's a risky investment.
"My concern is that with our precious tax dollars, we really can't afford to support two different systems. We have a public school system that works well and to expand vouchers to areas rather than invest in the schools that already exist is a bad idea," said Billings.
The budget has already gone over to the Joint Finance Committee, where legislators will begin picking apart each proposal. Eventually, the budget must be approved by both the State Assembly and State Senate.

Right now, I have Hopkins ahead of K. Allen.
Right now, I have Hopkins ahead of K. Allen.
I'm glad to see the veterans all start to come around on Cordarrelle Patterson. As I've said before, he kind of reminds me of a 6'3 Mark Duper. While he's not quite as fast as Duper was, he's definitely got tremendous explosion and is a scary deep threat that demands safety attention and opens up the running game. But, I see a lot of great WCO skills such as strong hands, hands catching technique, separation quickness, change of direction, ability to set up and follow his blocks and blocking ability.
What I don't see is the required precision route running, correct decision making on hot reads, full route tree, and consistently reliable hands. Those are big areas where he is raw, and he must become very good at those if he is to really be a success in this offense. In that regard, he is kinda like Victor Cruz was, and we may play him before he really is ready.
Looking at value, Keenan Allen appears to be a good WR, but I'm not convinced he is a full round better to the team than Robert Woods or the other talent that should be available in round 2. Better? Maybe, but I'm not expecting the dropoff to be dramatic. I think this draft will have pass rushing talent available at 12 that seems more compelling. I'd love to pick up Chase Thomas in round 3 if he lasts that long, but I doubt we do that as he's more of a 3-4 defense fit. Jenkins out of Florida State might be good, but he may need a season before he is really ready for full time NFL work, so that would be more of an investment.
If we don't have a clear value pick at 12, I think we would seriously consider offers to trade back. If Cincinnati wanted to go nuts and trade us their #1 and #2 for our #1, I'd probably jump on that. Alas, that's probably just a pipe dream.
To answer the question , yes I would take Patterson at 12. After he blows up the combine I doubt he even makes it to 12.
I still say Miami goes offense via free agency and defense in the draft and if I was Jeff Ireland and need to win now that is exactly what I'd do.
Depending on what we do in free agency (Jennings/Wallace/Bowe), I would think a WR is a possibility at 12. If we trade down to acquire more picks, I think WR becomes even MORE of a possibility along with DE. Can't really go wrong.

Genentech Development in South San Francisco
New Colors for Old Paint Factory
A new biotechnology campus will rise where a decrepit century-old paint factory once stood in South San Francisco, thanks to a recent RCRA brownfields agreement. California's Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) reached a prospective purchaser agreement (PPA) with Genentech, one of the world's leading biotech companies, to create an innovative 27-acre expansion of Genentech's existing corporate campus. The PPA allows new construction while requiring that the known environmental contamination at the site is appropriately addressed to protect construction personnel as well as future occupants at the site.
Property Use and Cleanup History
W.P. Fuller and Company originally ran a paint and coatings manufacturing business at the site beginning in 1898. Paint manufacture resulted in extensive problems with lead in soil and in the former San Bruno Channel. The O'Brien Corporation, a paint manufacturer, purchased the site in 1967 and managed
- 784,000 square feet of new development with eight combined laboratory/office buildings, a fitness center, a childcare facility and two parking structures.
- Jobs for an additional 1,800 to 2,000 highly compensated biopharmaceutical employees, further enhancing the Bay Area's growing biotech industry base
- Increased property and payroll tax revenues, currently estimated to be an additional $4.5 million per year
- Millions of dollars infused into the local economy in construction costs for the tenant improvements
- Substantial sales and use tax revenues
- Considerable aesthetic benefit from the clearing away of abandoned industrial buildings from a beautiful stretch of coastline
Initially, EPA assumed supervision of corrective measures for the soils under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) authorities, but since 2000, DTSC has held full regulatory lead at the site. Cherokee Investment Partners purchased the site in 1999 and commenced cleanup in preparation for redevelopment. The site was subsequently purchased by Slough SSF, LLC in 2000. Cherokee will complete the RCRA corrective action for groundwater, including assessment of contamination and any necessary cleanup. Slough will conduct all needed operation and maintenance activities, provide any financial assurances, and enter into a land use covenant to restrict most portions of the site to commercial use. Slough is constructing the facilities in phases over the next four years, and has contracted with Genentech for a mult-year long-term lease with an option to purchase. Genentech is expected to begin occupancy in late 2006.

This has sustained me and many members of my family during times good and bad. A few years ago, after she died at the age of 97, I scanned an old letter and printed the phrase (on Crane paper, of course) and framed it for my siblings and cousins so we can be reminded of their love for us."

They were just callow freshmen when the last time their beloved Menomonee Falls girls volleyball team last made the WIAA state tournament two years ago.
And in a reminder of that fact, coach J.C. Bruns had them and the team watch a disc of the epic WIAA sectional final match with Germantown that got the 2010 team to state.
So, when now juniors Simone Lee, Abby Becker and Katherine Von Bank stepped upon the court Saturday night in Waukesha for their own sectional final with long-time WIAA rival Watertown, they were ready to lead.
And lead they did, helping the Indians take the first game decisively, 25-17, and then making enough plays at the end of games two (25-23) and three (26-24) to earn a sweep over the Goslings and a berth in next week's WIAA State Tournament in Green Bay.
"We put the team on our shoulders," said the setter/rightside hitter Beckers, who missed most of last season with an injury. "Try to guide them to state. ...I just thought I could be more useful tothe team out here than just sitting on the bench (laughs)."
It's Falls' ninth state trip since 1984 and sixth since 2003.
The trio's leadership has paid off in other ways too, as the team seemed to unify behind them. Rare was the Gosling point that was the result of an overt Falls' mistake. Unless it was a decisive kill, the ball just did not hit the floor on the Indian side this night.
"We're very cohesive at this point," said the Penn State recruit and outside hitter Lee. "We're taught to go for every ball, that every hit has to be recovered. If we have a chance to get the ball, we will. When we apply ourselves, the ball is going back nine times out of 10."
And that attitude could carry them far. The fifth-ranked in state Falls squad will challenge unranked Sun Prairie in a 7:30 p.m. Thursday WIAA state quarterfinal at the Resch Center in Green Bay. If the Indians win, they will likely face top-ranked in state Burlington in Friday's semifinals.
Veteran coach J.C. Bruns is confident right now and it's a confidence borne of the frustration of a hard mid-season week.
In that time, the Indians lost out on a chance for a Greater Metro Conference title to archrival and second-ranked in state DSHA in an epic five-game dual and then didn't have a very good second day in the talent-strewn West Bend Sprawl.
"We were a little lost after that," said Bruns, "but we found our way. We've been 13-1 (in matches) since then, including a win over DS in a rematch, a win against (10th-ranked) Germantown and a win here over (eighth-ranked) Watertown."
And behind the three juniors, they did it as a team.
The Indians led the first game pretty much from start to finish, but the next two games were anything but that easy.
Behind their own all-state candidate in 6-4 middle hitter Katie Standick, the Goslings hung tough. There were a remarkable 15 ties in the second game. Falls seemingly had the game in hand at 24-21, but after a Watertown time-out, the Goslings ran off three points in a row for the final tie.
Two of those points came on decisive blocks of kill attempts by the 6-1 Lee.
"They rotated their block to try and take Simone out of it so we had to do something different," said Bruns. "We just had to battle and battle."
After a time-out, Falls went ahead for good on another Lee kill, but this one after a long rally, and with her in a different position.
Then senior outside hitter Carly Poth tossed in a dying quail of a serve that the Watertown receive could not get back up for game point.
In game three, the Goslings went up 3-0, but Falls rallied back several times to keep it close.
Falls had a 22-20 lead, but then the Goslings scored three straight, including the final two by Standick to go up 23-22.
But after a Falls' timeout, the Indians made their final rally, as Von Bank, who quietly made several key plays over the course of the night, tied it up with a kill of her own, and then put Falls ahead for good with an ace.
And when the Goslings struggled on a return and made an error, the Indians had the match and a trip to Green Bay in their pocket.
Afterwards, the talk was again all about the defense.
"Since we've sorted out our serve recieve, we've become so much better," said Becker.
Which subsequently leads to some intense offense.
"Our passing has been so great," said Lee, "and when we're in system (all three facets, bump, set and hit), there's no team that can stop us."
Bruns liked the strong survival mode attitude that the team adopted in the final two games.
"I told them after the first game, that not everything was going to be pretty," he said. "That good teams win those tough games."
"We just need to step on teams' throats when the time comes," said Becker.
And then Bruns talked about the defense too.
"During the course of the season, we settled in as having Simone (Lee), Maddie (Micech) and Katherine (Von Bank) as pur primary receivers," he said, "and then we have a team where everybody can dig balls out. And when we're doing that consistently, it makes it so much easier on our side and so much harder on theirs."
And as a result, some big goals are in reach.
"We think we can win a state title," said Lee. "When our pass is there, we're unstoppable."

It's too bad that guy responded on the other forum and pissed everyone off.
He doesnt know what he's talking about.
I have one or two here you couldn't get for X£", But haven't we all?
There are also a few 'Titled' dogs that I personally wouldn't give 'Tuppence' for!! ...But Hey?....You/me. Probably got hooked on the script at one time?;)
If it does what you want,and you have seen what you want, then it is probably what you want!, and if you want it ..You will buy it.
Yeah, well, I've been running HT's and FT's along the coast for years, especially in Louisiana, and have never heard of the "pro" he claims he apprenticed under. Either the guy retired a long time ago or was simply a gun dog trainer (nttawwt). His claims of seeing lots of FC, AFC, MH and SH dogs is BS as far as I can tell.
I know both the breeder and trainer of the dog in question, and I would advise you to consider trying to arrange a viewing if the other deal falls through. It never hurts to ask.
I looked at that redstar post and if I were in the market for a gun dog or a possible competitive dog, I would look at him real hard. Good description of a well trained young guy especially at that age.
Good luck with the search.

By Ben Levisohn
Heading into yesterday, we thought we had a good handle Anadarko Petroleum's (APC) potential liabilities from its Kerr McGee purchase. This morning, we found out we were wrong.
Bloomberg has the update on Anadarko's potential damages:
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and its Kerr-McGee unit should face $20.8 billion in environmental cleanup claims and not be allowed to cut the amount to $850 million, a trust for creditors of Tronox Inc. told a bankruptcy judge.
Anadarko said in January it should owe $850 million to $4 billion in the case brought by bankrupt Tronox and the U.S. government. In a December ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper in Manhattan suggested a range of $5.2 billion to $14.2 billion to pay for the clean up of contaminated properties…
The case stems from Kerr-McGee's spinoff of its chemicals business as Tronox beginning in 2005, which also put decades worth of environmental liabilities into the new company as part of the transaction. About three months after the spinoff was completed, Anadarko, based in The Woodlands,Texas, offered to buy Kerr-McGee's oil and natural gas assets for $18 billion.
JPMorgan's Joseph Allman and team explain where that $21 billion comes from:
The Plaintiffs argue four main points: 1) the Defendants cannot convert their equity interest into a creditor claim, 2) the Court needs to restore the estate to its pre-transfer position and allow the Defendants to file a pre-petition claim for "any consideration it provided" in the fraudulent transfer, 3) estate assets and creditor claims are valued at the time of plan confirmation, and 4) the Court should disallow any 502(h) claim…
In response to this filing, the stock likely will underperform since the possibility of a $20Bn + damage award probably will make investors more cautious on the name.
That was certainly the case this morning, when shares of Anadarko Petroleum dropped as much as 1.8%. Since then, they've rallied with the stock market and have gained 0.1% to $81.76, besting the performance of its peers. EOG Resources (EOG), for one, is little changed at $175.06, while Noble Energy (NBL) has dropped 0.5% to $66.23, Chesapeake Energy (CHK) has fallen 0.4% to $24.65 and Apache (APA) has declined 2.4% after reporting results and announcing its exit from Argentina.

And... we're back. You'll notice that all of your images are back as well, as are our beloved emoticons, including the infamous :foo: We have also worked with our server folks and developers to fix the issues that were slowing down the site.
There is still work to be done - the images in existing sigs are not yet linked, for example, and we are working on a way to get the images to load faster - which will improve the performance of the site, especially on the pages with a ton of images, and we will continue to work diligently on that and keep you updated.
