Theme Park Insider's 2011 Year In Review - JuneWritten by Jeff Elliott
Note: The editor of these articles has insisted that I make the soon to be obvious point that while there may be some real news in here, the key to these articles is a sense of humor. While your own recollection of these stories may be a little different than what is presented below, your recollection is quite possibly closer to truth. While it was requested that I keep to the facts, I realized quite quickly in this process that 1) Who needs facts when made up stuff is much fun to write and 2) Scribbling incoherent thoughts is very calming.Published: December 29, 2011 at 7:47 PM June, the month where instead of making announcements or building things, those of us theme park geeks can actually get off the couch and make an appearance out our favorite theme park before heading home and deriding it in a public forum on the internet for the perceived lack of quality and attention to detail. Since we are all out there doing instead of speculating or reporting, there is very little going on this month. The captain has turned off the no-fooling-around sign. Please feel from to move about the cabin and fool around to the greatest extent of your abilities. Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times. And if a window gets broken again while we are at altitude, I am going to be very upset….again…... Theme Park Insider's Year In Review – June Nothing helps you deal with the current press of visitors like looking at last year's attendance figures. This month, the TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Report was released that showed anything even remotely associated with Harry Potter garnered huge attendance gains even if the attraction wasn't at that specific park. Anything associated with Disney held fairly steady at the top of the food chain. And everything associated with Killer Whales and Sea Lions, dropped off sharply. What we can extrapolate from this report is that SeaWorld needs to dump the whole sea creature thing and start building attractions based on pimply faced kids that know how to shake their wands, and, no, Perry Otter and the six foot mice is not going to cut it. What is also interesting is that among the seasonal parks, Cedar Fair is standing tall well above the Six Flags parks, which of course happens when every single Six Flags park has the same exact rides. You know, now that I am looking at the figures a second time, what I find is that the parks with major fires in the last year are the ones that did the best, so therefore a good conclusion would be to build attractions with tissue paper, purchase motors that heat up excessively, use poor and low grade electrical wiring, and the old standby of free matches for kids. So there you have it: June. If you don't remember the month like I do, please set a monkey-boy straight in the discussion below. All monkey pictures have been lovingly borrowed from the amazing artist Frank Cho and his long deceased comic strip Liberty Meadows. Monkeys were harmed during the production of this article, but they really enjoyed… trust me…. Readers' OpinionsFrom Tracy Bates on December 29, 2011 at 9:54 PM
Six Flags Magic Mountain should have put something in Green Lantern to make you spin. Depending on the weight, you just go back and forth, and that really blows after spending a couple of hours in line. (That, and it throws your full body weight into that bar across your chest almost cracking your ribs.) At least X2 forces the car to rotate. (That ride was equally uncomfortable to me, but for different reasons.) I'll stick with Cedar Point for big coasters, or Busch Gardens Tampa for coasters and animal experiences.

News Roundup: Biotech Funding and LDT Regulation
With so many developments at the intersection of genomics and the law, there is often a variety of interesting stories that, for one reason or another, don't find their way into a full-length posting on the Genomics Law Report. In this post we recap several recent key developments and, at bottom, round up all of the recent tweets from @genomicslawyer.
Biotech Funding: No Bubble, New Models and the IPO Option. Despite speculation that a recent rise in venture capital investments is indicative of a bubble, to be followed soon by a plunge in available investment capital, venture capital investments in the life sciences are holding steady, both in total dollars and in the size of an average financing. Thus, says Bruce Booth, a partner at Atlas Venture and author of Life Sci VC, there appears to be no bubble to debate, at least not in the life sciences. Booth observes that overall funding is "down considerably from the recent highs in 2007 and 2008" and, while other industries may be experiencing fewer but larger financings, "the data doesn't support a frothy market for LS venture financings these days."
Looking Ahead After the FDA's DTC Meeting
Day one of the FDA's two-day public meeting on the future of clinical DTC genetic testing is in the books. Those unable to attend in person were, unfortunately, forced to resort to Twitter coverage of the proceedings as the government declined to provide a live webcast. (I'm told there will not be a recorded webcast either. Perhaps the FDA is engaging in preventative cost-cutting.)
The first day was divided into three roughly equal parts: background presentations from the FDA and invited speakers, a second set of "public presentations" by companies and individuals who requested time to present their views and, finally, public deliberations by the Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel ("MCGP"). Tomorrow will feature more public presentations, several more sessions of MCGP deliberations and, at the end of the meeting, recommendations from the MCGP to the FDA on the questions presented (pdf) by the FDA.
A Familiar Feeling to Day One. The first two sessions, which featured presentations to the MCGP, followed a fairly familiar script. Opponents of clinical DTC genetic testing worried that incorrect or misinterpreted tests could produce harmful outcomes, and questioned whether there was anything of value to be gained from the tests in the first place. Proponents argued that the DTC model empowered patients to explore their genetic selves without any ill effects. For those who attended or followed last summer's two-day public meeting to discuss the FDA's proposal to regulate laboratory developed tests (LDTs), much of the conversation echoed what was said on day two of that meeting during the direct-to-consumer (DTC) session.
Clearing a Path for DTC Oversight
In a few hours, the FDA will kick off a two-day public meeting to consider the future of clinical direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests. Few corners of the personal genomics landscape have generated as much attention from regulators, consumers and, especially, the media as DTC genetic testing. Thus, when the meeting was first announced last month, we applauded the FDA's attempt to examine DTC's unique set of issues separate from other larger and ongoing regulatory conversations, including whether and how to regulate the far more numerous category of laboratory developed tests (LDTs).
So just what should we expect from the next two-days? 2010 saw a flurry of DTC-related regulatory and legislative activity but, ultimately, little in the way of new oversight or concrete guidance. Both regulators (including the FDA) and industry appear to have responded in 2011 with a more measured approach, and this week's meeting is an opportunity to thoroughly examine the state of DTC genetic testing and develop a clear, sensible strategy for future oversight of the industry.
Over at Genetic Future, Daniel MacArthur has already weighed in, adopting a tone of cautious optimism in advance of the DTC meeting. Meanwhile, with just a few hours left until the meeting kicks off, here are three key points I'll be emphasizing in my own talk tomorrow morning (slides):
Update: FDA Taking Another (Public) Look at DTC Genetic Tests
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests are back on the FDA's public radar screen. A month from today, the agency's Molecular and Clinical Genetics Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee will meet to "discuss and make recommendations on scientific issues concerning [DTC] genetic tests that make medical claims." Here is the Federal Register notice (pdf).
The two-day meeting, which is open to the public, will investigate the following topics:
- The risks and benefits of making clinical genetic tests available for "direct access by a consumer without the involvement of a clinician (i.e., without a prescription)."
- The different types of DTC or direct access tests (e.g., carrier screening, risk prediction in healthy persons, pharmacogenetics, etc.) that might "support differences in the regulatory approach."
- The "level and type of scientific evidence appropriate for supporting [DTC] claims, including whether it should be different than" what is required for similar clinical genetic tests (presumably, non-DTC in vitro tests, including laboratory developed tests, or LDTs).
A complete agenda and list of speakers has yet to be published, but the fact that the FDA is singling out DTC genetic tests for specific attention is sure to be a welcome sign to many.
Personalized Medicine Regulation Needs More Than Band-Aids
[Editor's Note: This post originally appeared as a guest column at Xconomy.]
Last week, New York State assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow introduced the descriptively named "act to amend the insurance law, in relation to requiring coverage for genetic testing in accident and health insurance polices."
While not accompanied by a press release, or widely covered by media outlets, the bill merits close attention. While the substance of the bill is striking, its greater import lies in what it reveals about the United States' current framework for personalized medicine regulation and in what the bill portends for the future of personalized medicine innovation and investment in this country.
2011 Personal Genomics Preview: It's Déjà Vu…
Last January we kicked off the new year by posing "Five Questions for Personal Genomics in 2010." Here were the five questions we asked:
1. Will the $1,000 genome live up to the hype?
2. Will personal genomics stay DTC?
3. How will the ongoing gene patent debate affect the progress of personalized medicine?
4. When and where will the next regulatory shoe fall?
5. Who will control the data?
A year later the question that comes first to mind is, has anything really changed?
The short answer is no, not fundamentally, although that is not meant to imply that nothing of note happened in 2010. Far from it, as significant legal, regulatory, policy and technological developments continued to reshape the personal genomics landscape.
With that in mind, we welcome 2011 with a look back at the year that was, and a look ahead at what to expect from 2011 and beyond.
A Thanksgiving Tradition: 23andMe Repackages Product, Raises Prices
Last November, just before Thanksgiving, 23andMe, the most popular provider of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing products, announced a new product and pricing model. The company took its most popular product—a $399 all-in-one genotyping service—and split it into two separate products, an "Ancestry Edition" and a "Health Edition." It also raised prices, with the complete package jumping from $399 to $499.
This November, just before Thanskgiving, 23andMe announced it was undoing most of last November's changes, eliminating the separate ancestry and health editions and offering, once again, a single product. Not reversed: the price increase.
A Rationale for Raising Prices. The combined product remains priced at $499, although it now requires a 1 year subscription to 23andMe's (previously optional) Personal Genome Service (PGS). The PGS, which debuted in September, provides customers with access to regular scientific updates and product features for $5 per month. The changes make the effective list price for 23andMe's service $559, although the company has run frequent $99 sales, and there are rumors that another one is imminent.
A Do-It-Yourself Genomic Challenge to Myriad, the FDA and the Future of Genetic Tests
Over the weekend, Steven L. Salzberg and Mihaela Pertea published a short but significant article in the journal Genome Biology. In "Do-it-yourself genetic testing," Salzberg and Pertea describe the creation of "a computational screen that tests an individual's genome for mutations in the BRCA genes, despite the fact that both are currently protected by patents."
The software-based test can be downloaded from the website of the University of Maryland's Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, where Salzberg is the director and Pertea is on the faculty. The test purports to test genomic sequence data against a set of known mutations in the BRCA genes. In addition to representing a conceptual alternative for those seeking to evaluate their risk of hereditary breast cancer, the so-called "Salzberg Screen" is also a direct challenge to Myriad Genetics, the FDA and the existing legal, regulatory and policy regimes that continue to struggle to keep pace with the science and technology of genomics and personalized medicine.
Below, we examine how the Salzberg Screen fits—or does not—within the current legal and regulatory landscape, as well as what it signals for the future of do-it-yourself genomics, whole-genome sequencing and the law.
The Business Effects of Regulatory Uncertainty in Genetic Testing
The business of genetic testing has progressed rapidly, if unevenly, over the past several years. Like any business based on new and rapidly developing science, the promise of new products and markets is counter-balanced by the obstacles of developing commercial products from raw science, fostering markets for those products, constructing profitable business models and overcoming novel legal and regulatory hurdles.
The Regulatory Environment Turns Negative. Until May 2010, the regulatory challenges in the genetic testing world seemed relatively benign, with most attention focused on patent and related IP issues (e.g. the Myriad gene patent litigation) and a challenging economic climate which made commercial operations and capital raising difficult for most businesses.

($60) The mineral pungency inherent in the site plus a touch of botrytis make for a formidable, dense, tactilely challenging if not at all open and ingratiating riesling. Banana oil, tropical fruits, and sweaty-salty aromas. Voluminous and esterous on the palate, but with a rather grainy feel, with sharp notes of mineral salt and bitter grapefruit rind. This really rides your palate hard in the finish and you just have to hang on for dear life. Potential 2 stars.

Home > Research Legal Advice > Lawsuits / Disputes > What are laws in Georgia related yo Cyber Bullying?
I was scammed out of over $3k by someone. I put up a website to warn others about her. After a month, I was contacted by a Secret Service agent who said my website was considered "cyber bullying." I can't find any information on laws that I am breaking. Can you advise me on this?
First of all, I would be suspicious of the Secret Service Agent. That is highly unsusal since you would have to be threatoning someone protected by the secret service for them to care. Secondly, if this person took money from you, why don't you sue them? You are putting yourself in a vulnerable situation by not suing and posting websites. I could tell you the law, but that would take all day. Instead, I will say take down the website, and file a lawsuit. Talk to an attorney for help.

Obtaining the Legendary Dragoon
There are many classes within this game, and all are good (except the witch), but there are a few special ones. The small list of special classes include the Mighty Dragoon. You may only have one character as a Dragoon, and that is because it is probably the best class in the game. To acquire this Class, you must gather 3 items:
Dragon Armor.
- After Mission 4, go to Idorf in Mylesia to get the info on Dragoons.
- After Mission 8, go to Melphy in Darunnelles on the 6th of the month sometime between 9am and 6pm to buy a very rare item called Condrite.
- After Mission 15, go to Kynora in Mount Ithaca during the daytime and talk to an artisan. He will give you the Dragon Armor.
Dragon Helm.
- After Mission 4, go to Idorf in Mylesia and get the info about Dragoons.
- After Mission 7, go to Gunther Piedmont, Burgunny and talk to the drunk guy. Make sure the time is in between 6pm and evening, but before 7am. After you talk to the drunk guy, enter Burgunny again after 7am to get information on his wife's location.
- Now, go to Volmous Mine, Senal. Talk to the drunks wife there.
- Go back to Gunther Piedmont, Burgunny. Now reunited with his wife, he will now make and sell Dragon Helms; but only between 7am and 7pm.
Sword of Tiamat.
- After you have goten both the Dragon Helm and the Dragon Armor, return to Idorf in Mylesia. Get the info about the Sword of Tiamat.
- Now go to Elaine in Fair Heights AFTER you have beaten the mission and get the Divine Dragon info. You should receive a Dragon Scale.
- After Mission 24, head to Celesis, Pinneg and your unit leader will encounter the Divine Dragon. Defeat him and you will receive the Sword of Tiamat.
The Divine Dragon is no pushover. He is a mighty opponent and you face him one on one. There is no turn limit; it's a fight to the death.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jenny
"I have been making this Mexican-inspired dip for years. It's similar to a dip seen in advertisements for processed American cheese, but with my own twists. It's great as an appetizer, but this hearty mixture of beef, cheese and refried beans can also be served as a full meal. Serve with tortilla chips."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound ground beef
2 pounds processed American cheese, cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
1 (2 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
A really easy recipe. Not only is it kid friendly but the kids helped me make it. To make it even easier I use the 93% ground beef so you can skip draining it. My group liked it with the hot & chunky salsa.
I was ok, I didn't care for the texture of the beans in the cheese dip. If I make it again I'll leave the beans out and put sausage in instead to give it more of a zip.

This was a good recipe. Instead of using salsa I used a can of rotel tomatoes.Everyone liked it! Thanks!
Oh my gosh, this was great! I did leave out the olives as I dislike them. I generally prefer cheddar or Jack cheese for something like this and was a bit leary of the American cheese. And I could tell it was American, but it was very subtle and just blended in with the other flavors. This is not a very spicy dip and is a bit different than some other similar ones, but it does have flavor. (And a hot salsa would spice it up if someone wants that. I used mild.) Great with tortilla chips and I wanted to just keep eating the stuff after it was gone. Unfortunately it's not something I would make often cause it's so fattening (even w/low fat cheese, milk & vegetarian beans, there's still the beef & tortilla chips), and I also try to keep cut back on the red meat. Definitely "junk" food. So sad. :-(
I made this for a potluck and there was not a drop left! It is super easy. I have made it with or without the olives. And I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. Thanks! I will be making it again tomorrow for a football party.
We made this for a game night with our friends and everyone really liked it. When I found the recipe, I was hoping it was more of a bean dip than a cheese dip but it was still really good as is. Next time I will try adding another can of beans just to see how I like that.
Easy to make, big hit with the family!

Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. ) Basis of Presentation On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of Time Warner Cable, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control ("TW NY"), acquired certain cable systems from Adelphia Communications Corporation, Comcast Corporation's ("Comcast") interests in Time Warner Cable and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. were redeemed, and TW NY and Comcast also exchanged certain cable systems. Collectively, these acquisitions and dispositions are referred to as the "Adelphia/Comcast Transactions." On January 1, 2007, Texas and Kansas City Kansas City, two adjacent cities of the same name, one (1990 pop. 149,767), seat of Wyandotte co., NE Kansas (inc. 1859), the other (1990 pop. 435,146), Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties, NW Mo. (inc. 1850). Cable Partners, L.P. ("TKCCP"), an unconsolidated joint venture between Time Warner Cable and Comcast, distributed its assets to its partners. Time Warner Cable received the systems in Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico New Mexico, state in the SW United States. At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). (the "Kansas City Pool"), which served approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers at December 31, 2006, and began consolidating the financial results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. For the presentation of subscriber information, the systems that Time Warner Cable acquired in the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, which served approximately 3.7 million basic video subscribers at September 30, 2007, are referred to as the "Acquired Systems." Those systems that Time Warner Cable owned both before and after the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions as well as the Kansas City Pool, which together served approximately 9.6 million basic video subscribers at September 30, 2007, are referred to as the "Legacy Systems." For the presentation of financial information, however, "Legacy Systems" refers only to those systems that Time Warner Cable owned both before and after the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and does not include the Kansas City Pool. The "Acquired Systems" has the same definition as above. As previously noted, on July 31, 2006, Time Warner Cable completed the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and began consolidating the results of the Acquired Systems. Additionally, on January 1, 2007, Time Warner Cable began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool. Accordingly, the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, include the results for the Legacy Systems, the Acquired Systems and the Kansas City Pool for the full three- and nine-month periods, and the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, include the results of the Legacy Systems for the full three- and nine-month periods and the Acquired Systems for only the two months following the closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and do not include the results of the Kansas City Pool.

This growth was driven by the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as the continued penetration of digital video services, video price increases and growth in residential high-speed data and Digital Phone subscribers. Advertising revenues increased 24% ($43 million) to $221 million, due primarily to the impact of the Acquired Systems and, to a lesser extent, growth in the Legacy Systems ($12 million).

The increase in video programming expenses was due mainly to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool ($51 million), as well as increases in contractual rates and the expansion of service offerings. The current and prior year periods also included merger-related and restructuring charges of $4 million and $22 million, respectively. Operating Income increased 24% ($131 million) to $681 million, reflecting primarily the increase in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, offset in part by higher depreciation expense ($170 million) due mainly to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and demand-driven increases in recent years of purchases of customer premise equipment.

Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased 12% ($33 million) to $298 million, due mainly to growth in non-magazine businesses, particularly Synapse, as well as increases in domestic magazines. Operating Income rose 13% ($29 million) to $251 million, due primarily to an increase in Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. Highlights Based on Publishers Information Bureau (PIB See NIST binary. ) data, Time Inc.'s 2007 industry-leading share of overall domestic advertising through September 30, exclusive of newspaper supplements, was 18.7%. CONSOLIDATED REPORTED NET INCOME AND PER SHARE RESULTS For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported Net Income of $1.1 billion, or $0.29 per diluted common share. This compares to Net Income in the prior year quarter of $2.3 billion, or $0.57 per diluted common share. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change of $900 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share. This compares to Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change in the prior year quarter of $1.3 billion, or $0.33 per diluted common share.

Income and losses from continuing operations are reported separately if any segments have been discontinued during the was 38% and 25% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher tax attribute carryforwards recognized in the third quarter of 2006. The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2007, also reflected a charge of approximately $47 million relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc an adjustment to tax benefits recognized in prior periods associated with certain foreign source income, partially offset by a tax benefit of approximately $24 million associated with domestic research and development tax credits.

Existing before tax deductions: pretax income. pretax adj [profit] → vor (Abzug der) Steuern items in the current year quarter affected comparability, including $14 million in other net investment gains and $12 million of tax benefits related mainly to the realization of tax attribute carryforwards. Certain pretax items in the prior year quarter similarly affected comparability, including $727 million in net investment gains, related primarily to the sales of the Company's interest in Time Warner Telecom Time Warner Telecom NASDAQ: TWTC is headquartered in Littleton, Colorado.

In aggregate, these items affecting comparability had the net effect of increasing the current year quarter's Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change by $18 million (net of taxes), with no meaningful effect per diluted common share, and increasing the prior year quarter by $589 million (net of taxes), or $0.14 per diluted common share. Excluding such items, Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change increased, reflecting growth in Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, offset partly by higher depreciation and interest expenses related to the Adelphia and Comcast transactions. Excluding such items, Diluted Income per Common Share before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change increased in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter, driven by the increase in Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change, as well as a decrease in average diluted common shares as a result of common stock repurchases made under the stock repurchase programs. Use of Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow The Company utilizes Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses. The Company also evaluates the performance of its businesses using Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization excluding the impact of noncash impairments of goodwill, intangible and fixed assets fixed assets npl → activo sg fijo fixed assets npl → immobilisations fpl fixed assets fix npl → , as well as gains and losses on asset sales, and amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations (referred to herein as Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization). Both Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization are considered important indicators of the operational strength of the Company's businesses. Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets Tangible Asset An asset that has a physical form such as machinery, buildings and land. Notes: This is the opposite of an intangible asset such as a patent or trademark.

Notes: Examples are things like copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and goodwill. These are the opposite of tangible assets. that were primarily recognized in business combinations. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company's businesses. Moreover, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization does not reflect gains and losses on asset sales or amounts related to securities litigation and government investigations or any impairment charge related to goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets. Management evaluates the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budgets, investment spending levels and return on capital. Free Cash Flow is Cash Provided by Operations (as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting ) plus payments related to securities litigation and government investigations (net of any insurance recoveries) and excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, less cash flow attributable to discontinued operations, capital expenditures and product development costs, principal payments on capital leases and partnership distributions, if any. The Company uses Free Cash Flow to evaluate its businesses and this measure is considered an important indicator of the Company's liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt, make strategic investments, pay dividends to common shareholders and repurchase stock. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect payments made in connection with the securities litigation and government investigations, which reduce liquidity. Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company's Operating Income (Loss), Net Income and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash Provided by Operations), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Braves are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. From to the present, the Braves have played in Turner Field. baseball franchise (the "Braves"), Tegic Communications, Inc. ("Tegic") and Wildseed LLC ("Wildseed"). In the third quarter of 2006, the Company closed on the acquisition of certain assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation ("Adelphia") (the "Adelphia Acquisition") and the related exchange of certain cable systems with Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") (the "Exchange") and redemption of Comcast's interests in Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC") and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (the "Redemptions"). The operations of the cable systems transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the Exchange (the "Transferred Systems"), including gains recognized on the transfers, have been reflected as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Also included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are the operations of the Turner South network ("Turner South") and Time Warner Book Group ("TWBG TWBG That Would Be Great "), which were sold during the first six months of 2006. The financial data for the discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows (millions, except per share amounts): [TABLE OMITTED] Included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were a pretax gain of approximately $200 million and a related tax provision of approximately $15 million on the sale of Tegic. The tax provision on the sale of Tegic included a tax benefit associated with the use of tax attribute carryforwards, partially offset by a tax charge attributable to the reversal of a deferred tax asset. In addition, discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included a pretax gain of approximately $71 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $82 million on the sale of the Braves, a pretax gain of approximately $54 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $6 million on the sale of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, an impairment of approximately $18 million on AOL's long-lived assets associated with Wildseed and an impairment of approximately $13 million on the Company's investment in Leisure Arts. The tax benefit recognized for the Braves transaction resulted primarily from the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities in connection with the completion of a transaction in which Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") exchanged 68.5 million shares of Time Warner common stock for the stock of a subsidiary of Time Warner that owned assets including the Braves and Leisure Arts (at a fair value of $473 million) and $960 million of cash (collectively, the "Liberty Transaction"). The Liberty Transaction was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code The Internal Revenue Code is the body of law that codifies all federal tax laws, including income, estate, gift, excise, alcohol, tobacco, and employment taxes. These laws constitute title 26 of the U.S. Code (26 U.S.C.A. § 1 et seq. of 1986, as amended, and, as a result, the historical deferred tax liabilities associated with the Braves were no longer required. The tax benefit recognized for the magazine sale transaction resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred tax assets associated with the sale of the magazine titles. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, the Company incurred an additional $1 million and $18 million accrual accrual, n continually recurring short-term liabilities. Examples are accrued wages, taxes, and interest. related to changes in estimates of Warner Music Group Warner Music Group (WMG) is one of the four major record labels.

Included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were a pretax gain of approximately $145 million on the Transferred Systems and a tax benefit of approximately $810 million, comprised of a tax benefit of $817 million on the Redemptions, partially offset by a provision of $7 million on the Exchange. The tax benefit of $817 million resulted primarily from the reversal of historical deferred tax liabilities (included in noncurrent liabilities Noncurrent liability A liability due in one year. noncurrent liability A liability not due to be paid within one year during the normal course of business.

DescriptionThis is a boulder created by Monolithic Sculptures, Inc . It was recently installed in Hales Corners Park. It is a memorial to Jake Knapp, an 18 year old avid climber who passed away back in March 2004 due to a sudden seizure. His family donated the money for this rock to be placed in the park. There are plenty of trees around, so the area is shady. Although the rock is synthetic material, it is unbelievably like bouldering on real rock. You may have to put up with kids who like to play around the rock. It is surprising how many different problems are on this boulder. Tons of pockets, edges, and jugs all over this thing. Its great! Getting ThereThe boulder is in a wood-chip area immediately south of the Pool area and West of the Basketball courts. 15 Total Routes
