Beneficial Mutual Bancorp Inc Stock Downgraded (BNCL)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Beneficial Mutual Bancorp (Nasdaq:BNCL) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its expanding profit margins, notable return on equity and increase in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that we feel that the company's cash flow from its operations has been weak overall.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP reported flat earnings per share in the most recent quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.15 versus -$0.11 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.20 versus $0.15).
- The gross profit margin for BENEFICIAL MUTUAL BANCORP is currently very high, coming in at 70.80%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, BNCL's net profit margin of 8.20% significantly trails the industry average.
- BNCL, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 6.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.4%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to not be hurting the bottom line, shown by stable earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, implying reduced upside potential.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $17.28 million or 44.52% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

Tough Call in The NBA Tonight - But the Heat have to Win

On 06/21/2012 12:29 PM in NBAA line of -3 pts in favor of Miami is an indication that the money is flowing on OKC, as the line was -4 earlier today. I by no means have a great feel on this game. OKC is quite capable of winning this on the road. But I have to believe Miami knows this and the ramifications if they lose.

Mozilla Foxfire Complaint - Failed service - Browser
Review by
Comments (11)
A word or 2 about my experience with the much-hoohah'd Foxfire:
It appeared with an upgrade signal & address bar, started the upgrade, and after a few seconds stopped
with a freeze on everything, including the pointer, preventing me from any action.
After many minutes with no change and unable to do anything, I had to shut the computer. When I restarted,
everything connected with Foxfire was gone -- mail addresses, dozens of bookmarks, Foxfire itself.
I got back online with my former browser & called my Internet provider, which gave me the Foxfire tech help number.
Guess what!!!!! After the foregoing "disaster," the tech, saying that "we started it, not you," when I misstated that I turned on the upgrade, advised me that I must pay $39.95 to have him get Foxfire back with the programs.
Back I went to the original browser and a lot of my work gone. Foxfire? Boo.

Thank's for the information. I will not be using them for anything.
Posted by SilverWngs on 2006-12-24:
We have FireFox and its been very reliable. My husband installed it to our computer and when we get the new one It too will be on that one as well. I guess it depends on the user.
Posted by lobo65 on 2006-12-24:
I use Firefox exclusively, and the upgrade caused no problems for me either.
Posted by Sparticus on 2006-12-24:
I'm a happy firefox user as well. I particularly use it when dealing with high security risk sites like my online banking and credit cards. It is a little safer than IE, which is exploited much more by hackers.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2006-12-24:
I have been using Firefox for 3 years. I found it to be FAR better IE. I have not upgraded to the lastest version as I have heard it has some issues. What I am running now serves me well. I learned long ago, newer does not necesarily mean better. Or, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-12-24:
When I did the recent update I found that only the original Firefox theme would work. The other themes would freeze. Within hours some of the themes had updates. All their updates have had issues. At least they provide fixes within days, not like M$ take weeks if not months for fixes.
Posted by Bababooey on 2006-12-24:
I think that all of these browsers contain bugs, spyware, and viruses which screw up your computer.
I attempted to upgrade my browser to the Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7, but after I downloaded and installed it, my computer started freezing up. I quickly removed the new browser from my computer, and I'm back to using Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6.

You can save your bookmarks to a file. If the program ever crashes, you can easily restore your bookmarks. Everyone should back up any information or programs that they can for their computers. I have my bookmarks saved. As a matter of fact, this is a good time to resave them.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-12-24:
Firefox saves your profile outside the program itself. I've uninstalled it before loading a newer version. All my settings and bookmarks were there when I started the newer version. The only problems tend to be some themes and extensions not working on an upgrade.
Posted by CrazyRedHead on 2006-12-24:
I have been using FF for the past year and a half and had no problems. I have upgraded to the newest version and have never had a problem with it. I have Windows 98SE and have never had a problem. I rather use FF than IE, once I started using FF I haven't been smurfed yet. Maybe you should check you system for spyware, malware and viruses, or maybe your system doesn't have enough resources to handle the new FF.
Posted by *Brenda* on 2006-12-24:
I use firefox too with the new upgrade and have had no problems.

We are Australia's leading consumer organisation with over 160,000 members.
Set up by consumers for consumers, CHOICE is the consumer advocate that provides Australians with information and advice, free from commercial bias.
As vital today as when we were founded in 1959, CHOICE continues to fight for consumers and uncover the truth.
By mobilising Australia's largest and loudest consumer movement, CHOICE fights to hold industry and government accountable and achieve real change on the issues that matter most.
CHOICE doesn't accept advertising or sponsorship. This means we can uncover the truth about everyday consumer issues and provide practical advice to help consumers cut through the crap.
CHOICE is Australia's largest source of expert reviews. Based on unbiased analysis and rigorous testing, we help consumers compare products and services and select what's best for them.
Owners of digital video recorders (DVRs) may not be aware of the Freeview promotional campaign, as they've probably skipped through the ads while watching their recorded shows. These campaigns offer little in the way of information but promise a new digital world that Freeview can deliver for free, which sounds a lot like the current roll out of digital TV.
Many people have been asking exactly what channels a Freeview box will be able to receive. Freeview boxes will give you the same digital channels you will get from a non-Freeview High Definition (HD) digital box. Every FTA channel will be available to both types of equipment. Boxes that only receive a Standard Definition (SD) digital TV signal can't get a Freeview sticker. However if you make a clear enquiry before you buy your digital TV product that you want a HD product, whether it be a set top box, TV or DVR, there should be no issue getting all the available HD channels.
Freeview has said that up to 15 new channels will be introduced. However most of the new channels are already here (if you have a HD digital box). Until recently most TV networks had 1 SD channel (a simulcast of the analogue version) and 1 HD channel (sometimes offering unique content, but usually just a HD version of the SD channel).
Networks are currently providing 2 SD channels and 1 HD channel. New channels such as One HD (24 hour sports) and GO (an entertainment channel for 20-30 year olds) deliver some added content and you also get new TV content on ABC2 and SBS2.
Testing on a selection of older digital TV products from past CHOICE tests has found no problem at all capturing the latest 'Freeview' channels.
There is no doubt that you will have more new content to watch when you switch from analog TV to HD Digital TV. However you don't necessarily need a Freeview sticker on the product to enjoy everything HD Digital TV has to offer.
Please note: this information was current as of October 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.

31 Oct 2011 | CHOICE reviews the latest 117cm LCD and plasma TVs, priced $1199 to $3799.
3 Feb 2012 | Not all big HD TVs are 1920 x 1080, but that doesn't mean you can't get a good picture on a slightly lower resolution.
25 Mar 2011 | Digital TV is already being broadcast across much of Australia. By 2014, remaining analogue TV broadcasts will be shut down, and you'll have no choice but to watch digital TV. The federal government is doing a pretty good job of educating Australians about the transition to digital, and what consumers need to do. But then there is Freeview - is it a help, a hindrance, or just plain old marketing hype?

Skincom Sun Protection: tents and cabanas provide protection, fun in the sun from the sun
With a hand-full of awards, Skincom Sun Protection offers up a group of tents and cabanas for you and the family, letting you get out there and enjoy the outdoors and life as it should be, while keeping you safe under the UV protecting materials. What could be better than time on the beach or at the soccer game, enjoying the great outdoors, while protecting those you love from the sun's rays?
Summer doesn't end in the Sunshine State, so staying protected everyday or on vacation means slopping on the suntan lotion – which can wear off, wash off, or be forgotten, but a Skincom Sun Protection tent or cabana can help keep those amazingly wonderful rays at bay when you need it.
We came across these cool and easy to use tents at Surf Expo, spotting them across the way and drawing me to stop. My tour of their ease of use was good enough and interesting enough that I brought Laura over the next day when she joined me. We found them to be something we wanted to use so much, we tried to buy that day.
Not yet here – they arrive soon – they couldn't sell us one yet (they are online, but I don't know their delivery date) so as soon as they are, we'll get one, get to the beach, and let you know how we find them to really use.
We were out on the beach with friends (Cocoa Beach is a great place to spend the day) and while we had a big tent like many now use, we found ourselves moving over the course of the day as the sun moved – as the sun moves, the shadows move. Now that big tent was great and moving wasn't that big of a deal, but it was something that reminded me of the Skincom Sun Protection tent.
I am curious about the height and the number of people you can get inside. There were two versions we saw at Surf Expo, one that two can sit under and adjust the tent as the sun moves, the second version closer to the ground – move tent-like - and able to protect you from around three sides. You can then turn it if needed, picking it up with one hand and rotating. This unit was on the smaller size, so I don't know that our four adults would have found one to be big enough, but for two or a family with children, this was a prefect set up.
Do take a look - you'll find their site by clicking here - and there are a number of Internet listings for places to purchase aside from their site. Again, as of Surf Expo they were not yet selling here in the U.S., but would be soon, so if you order, check to make sure on delivery.
What grabbed my attention was truly ease of set up, lightweight and small to carry around, and that you can be out and enjoy the day in a nice, UV protective setting under award winning materials.
Check back and see – when we can get our hands on one we'll get out to the beach and give is a real test. In the mean time, do keep an eye on the Skincom Sun Protection tents and cabanas.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina will play in front of a school-record sixth sell-out when it hosts Southern Miss Saturday, thanks in part to a successful "Paint Black Friday Purple" ticket promotion which began Thursday and concluded Friday afternoon after all 700 remaining student upper deck tickets were purchased.
However, ECU students can still attend the game by picking up standing room only tickets with a valid One Card.
The athletics ticket office will remain open until 5 p.m. Friday and reopen at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The kickoff for the contest between the Pirates and Golden Eagles, which will decide the Conference USA East Division title, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

ABC's Once Upon a Time isn't the only new pilot dipping into the realm of fairy tales, facing some critical comparison to NBC's Grimm. As different as the series are however, we're afraid the more fantastical Once Upon A Time might prove more difficult to access than the gritty procedural of Grimm.
Still, the impressive writing and producing staff includes LOST's Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and sci-fi legend, Jane Espenson, which is more than enough to attract fantasy fans.

Dear Catherine,
Well here's the good news: People who have more sexual fantasies are more likely to be sexually satisfied and even have more sex. So I feel like I should give you a medal, and you thought there was a problem? The truth is, fantasy is healthy. It's a common myth that only unsatisfied people engage in fantasy but the opposite is true– people with a healthy fantasy life, research shows, are more sexually satisfied than their non-fantasizing counterparts. Just because you fantasize doesn't mean you're unhappy with your man. It could simply mean you need that extra 'oomph' to bring you over the top. I do hear you saying these fantasies are getting in the way of you enjoying sex with your partner, largely attributed to your personal guilt. If this is the case, then you could try talking to your partner about fantasies and see if he'll share his own. There might be some communication work to be done around your feelings and the difference between fantasy and reality. If, on the other hand, you're still happy with the level of intimacy and connection, and the kind of sex you're having, you could choose not to see these fantasies as a problem, but rather as an enhancement to a rocking sex life.

Information Technology | Brief
MaxxCat has upgraded the search appliances covered by its Google Mini Replacement Program to allow users to add custom thesauruses and more easily promote results.
The custom thesaurus feature allows users to create and load synonyms to "offer relevant results for industry specific synonyms, allowing the customer to tailor the list to their needs," according to a company news release. The addition of promoted results gives administrators the ability to link specific search terms with a particular URL to point users toward pages that are more relevant to their query even when the contents do not suggest such.
The new features, along with overall improvements to speed and efficiency, are currently available to EX-5000 and SB-350 users under the Mini Replacement Program.

Breaking even without placing
Howdy all,
New to the forum & competition BBQ. Question regarding finances: Is it common to sell samples at a competition? How do teams compete when only the 1st-3rd places payback entry fee (not to mention supplies, fuel, travel etcetc)? Are the competitors 99% in it for fun? Thanks brethren, trying to justify it to my wife :) Location: Central Texas (IBCA country?) |

Most IBCA comps pay 1-10th in each category. There are enough comps to choose which pays the best. Only way is to get a sponsor or win. No selling that I'm aware of. Work deals out with family and friends to sell your leftovers.
Best way is to look at it as your weekend outing. Golfing, fishing, hunting all cost $ and you never break even. And IBCA comps have cheap entry fees compared to KCBS. Most are $65-100.

As far as selling samples, you should check with the organizer. Most competitions are in conjunction with another event and have food vendors. Those vendors pay a fee to the organizer and sometimes a portion of their take, so the organizer may not want someone else selling food, or they may want to make you a vendor. In addition, if you are selling samples to the public you will probably have to be certified by the local health department.

Ha ha ha ha.
By the time you facor $3.50 a gallon gas, meats, fuel, rubs, sauces, etc etc... you never break even. Do not get me wrong. I am not trying to rain on anyones parade. I look at it like this. I could spend my money on junk I will never use or have fun and meet some great people and MAYBE if I am lucky, to walk with a couple of bucks. The last event I did, my wife and kids had more fun than I can remember. Do not take it too much to heart and be so competitive that you do not have any fun if you loose...Have fun and treasure the time with family and friends...
Each and every event I learn something new and share something with someone I did not know... It is much like this site. Sharing information and ideas is part of the fun... The competition is also fun. But what I have found is the folks you are competing against each event are the same folks that cheer the loudest if you win... |

On this past year's Pitmasters show they asked Shad Kirton (who ended up being the winner) what he would do if he won the $100,000 grand prize. His answer was that it would help him break even for his BBQ conests.

I usually recoup the cost of the meat by selling it before the contest. Basically I am selling the leftovers. Using Facebook I usually have stuff spoken for within an hour of posting. This by no means pays for the comp, but it does help keep expenses a bit more in line. Besides, the last thing I want to eat is my BBQ :)

I usually sell my comp leftovers to my neighbors and co-workers for cost...it pays for the meats, charcoal, spices, and sauces. But to answer you question...no...we are not allowed to sell personal samples of BBQ at our PNWBA comps...it's a health dept. thing.

In 3 full years of competing I have spent around $7000 in 9 competitions (that price includes the beer and all) and have won about $1300 and had $20,000 worth of fun.

The other bros are doing a great job of answering the bulk of your question but the part of your original query that troubles me is "...trying to justify it to my wife".
Hmmmm Troubling indeed. Here are just a few semi-associated thoughts that come to mind... What?!? Is there a major part rattlin' around loose up there?!? Justify it?!!!!? Is your charcoal soaking in apple juice while your pork marinates in diesel?!? Does your team chant end with..."How do we like it?" "RAW, RAW!!" Do you come home from competitions only to find your wife trying to get your attention by putting on a curly tail and whispering "How's your ole hickory?" Are you trying to market your secret brisket rub based on licorice, curry and Vicks? When the judges said your chicken should be browner why did you think of your undershorts? Do you actually plan to singlehandedly revamp competition BBQ as soon as you can figure out how to smoke JELLO?!? "Justify it to your wife?!?" Are you out of your pork-pullin' mind?!? Here's the deal bucko and I really am trying to offer something helpful. If she wants to come, get involved, spend time with you, meet your new friends, stink like you do when you come home, camp out in a not-so-parklike parking lot, wake up smelling God-only-knows-what, cower under a table when you cuss and sprint to get that damned temp back up quickly, start drinking before she even thinks about lunch and occassionally win a goofy little colored ribbon and maybe a $40 check, well then buy her jewels, roses, take her on a cruise, go to a sappy chick flic with her...anything just to say THANK YOU in big capital letters because not all of the guys out there stoking their fires can say their wives will sacrafice what they would REALLY like to be doing in favor of coming with you where they can wonder first-hand at the marvel of you fretting over an ultra-clean, even straight cut of meat, while rain runs down the inside of your shirt and you secretly worry that somebody will find that empty bottle in your trash labelled "Hunts". Not all of the guys on the circuit even WANT Mama along. It's not about justifying it to her but maybe, just maybe, it's about exposing her to it. Maybe you oughtta consider showing her the fun side of unloading in the cold at 0-dark-30. Perhaps she might be the kind of lover who just loves hanging around with you while you do what you choose to do. Have you ever stood back and watched us at work in a competition? The action can actually be pretty entertaining. Maybe she'll watch you and grab some laughs along the way. OK OK it's not for everybody but the point is that you CAN'T justify it to her. Can you justify to her, you spending $1400 on a new set of irons? Can you get her to understand why you're writing a $1950 check to the snowmobile repair shop in August? Can you get her to gladly accept that you just got that new fly reel on sale at only $440? If she comes out with you and SHE GET'S IT. You don't need to. On the other hand, if she comes out with you and she DOESN'T get it, she'll probably just be happy that you don't press her to go again. Justify fun? Why do we spend money on it and why do we do it over and over and over again? Because we want to. Because it makes us feel good. Because it's BBQ and WE LOVE BBQ! Now, in closing, if you forget to get her flowers and jewelry and candy and take her to chic flicks and tell her you LOVE HER, then you're not gonna get the chance to come out with us and love that Q. So, first things first. She doesn't have to GET IT. She doesn't even have to appreciate it. She just needs to not be bothered by it. So, go - do the Q, be happy but first, make her happy. And after all, who knows, that curly little tail thing and "old hickory" might actually be fun!

In order to compete, you have to, or you should, practice - a lot! I will announce to family & friends that I'm doing a practice cook and the food will be sold out almost always in advance. My partner & I have also done some catering to help pay for comps. But we have never paid for them in full.
It's our hobby and we love it even if we lose. We love the fellowship of the smoke. You'll be hard pressed to find better people than BBQ people.

I've seen it posted here somewhere that the best way to make a small fortune in barbece is to start with a large fortune. I believe it's in someone's signature here, and in most cases, that's likely a very true statement.
I have to think that there are very few competitors turning a profit, or even breaking even. I'll be the first to admit, we are small timers compared to most we compete against. we've done 6 comps each year for the last 2 years, and only 4 the year before that, our first year. If I added up what we'd spent on this hobby run amok, vs what we'd won, it'd take a VERY large bucket of red ink I'm sure to write it all down. But as much as everyone likes to win, as others have said here, we do it because we truly enjoy the company of our fellow competitors. There are lots of guys out there that go out and compete with a couple of thier male freinds, and their spouses, if they show up at all, only come out on Saturday for turn-in's and awards. It's how they blow off steam, and the wives are probably in many cases having girls night out while the guys are competing. And for them, and their marraiges, it apparently works. There are also lots of husband wife teams, but I think in those cases the wives, at least those I've met, are every bit as into it as thier husbands. I'm fortunate enough to be married to someone who had a WSM for years before I'd ever seen one, and who not only doesn't frown when we add to our collection of cookers, she encourages it! For us anyway, competing is the way we use the bulk of my vacation days. Every contest, we look forward to seeing old freinds, and making new ones. Friday nights we spend walking around sharing apple pie shots with the other teams. When we first started, it was a way of meeting folks, and hopefully making them comfortable that we weren't shigging, and just wanted to say hi and get to know them. Now, there are a lot of people that are not happy if they don't see "the shot fairy" as at a couple of comps she didn't make the rounds due either to weather issues or in one case, coming down with a bug. To us, comps are like some kind of twisted family reunion, but we have them more often than once every few years thank god! Having said all that, it is truly a great feeling to go to the bank and deposit a check from bbq winnings. But to me, it's nothing compared to the thrill of hearing your team name called at the awards. Especially if it's for first place in something. (something we experieced for the first time last summer, and that I will NEVER forget!) But we've been skunked a few times too, and last summer had the unpleasant distiction of being DAL in two categories at the same comp! Didn't matter. We still cheered for our freinds who heard the call that day, including freinds who heard their name called for the first time! Barbecue people are the best, bar none, that I think I've ever met. Almost all will do whatever they can to help one another out. Forget to bring something? Someone will have it and lend it gladly. Wind storm trying to launch your EZ-up? Someone will be there helping you without you having to ask. If your getting into it for the dough...that's probably a mistake. If you want to have a great time with some great people, and don't mind dropping some cash to do it, you'll find few things more fun OK, I'll get down from my soapbox now....

Just moved back to Texas and i will dispute the comment "most IBCA pay 1 -10". Unless you consider a jr. high school track meet ribbon saying "6th place' as payment.
Ensure you research each event and see what the payout is. HOWEVER - I'll take that ribbon every time over staring at a ticket and getting nothing. You can't be in this for the money, you have to be in it for the joy of smoking meat and creating a product better than most people in the world can. If you get some dough or a ribbon, thats a plus.

As you probably all know, Big Ben68 recently made a blog talking about his achievement of 10,000 comments. Well folks, I recently achieved something pretty special of my own. Within the last couple of weeks, I reached one hundred throwdowns without a tie.
Thanks to my boy EF for pointing this out to me.
Some of the records that I now hold are: consecutive throwdowns without a tie, consecutive throwdowns without a tie to start a career, and most wins without a tie, just to name a few.
Thanks to almost everyone that I have had the pleasure(again, most of you) of throwing down with. You have all helped me to reach these amazing records.

Christopher (Kit) Lukas's mother committed suicide when he was a boy. He and his brother, Tony, were not told how she died. No one spoke of the family's history of depression and bipolar disorder. The brothers grew up to achieve remarkable success; Tony as a gifted journalist (and author of the classic book, Common Ground ), Kit as an accomplished television producer and director. After suffering bouts of depression, Kit was able to confront his family's troubled past, but Tony never seemed to find the contentment Kit had attained–he killed himself in 1997. Written with heartrending honesty, Blue Genes captures the devastation of this family legacy of depression and details the strength and hope that can provide a way of escaping its grasp.

Chapter One
Chapter One
SOME PEOPLE ARE DISTURBED MOST by events that are unexpected.
For me, it has always been the half-awaited ones that carry the blow: the semiconscious fears that lurk behind closed eyes, the half-dropped pair of shoes, the what-ifs.
Susan and I return home from a party. In an unusual show of activity, our answering machine has had eleven hang-ups and one message-from Linda, my sister-in-law.
"Christopher," she says, "can you call me, please."
Usually, no one calls me Christopher except strangers, but maybe Linda is echoing my brother, who sometimes calls me by my full name as a joke.
I make a mental note to call her tomorrow; it's too late tonight. I figure that she's probably planning a publication party for Tony, who has just finished his latest book, nine years in the writing.
The book before this one-Common Ground-resulted in his second Pulitzer Prize and dozens of other awards. One reporter called my brother "the best journalist of our generation." Another said he was "the patron saint of contemporary reporters." He has won numerous accolades for his reporting for the New York Times, has received honorary degrees for his deep analysis of crucial episodes in recent American history, and has been wined and dined by literati and academics alike. He is, in short, one of those remarkable men whose work received enormous respect and attention.
But Tony is not sure that the new book, a huge volume called Big Trouble, is up to his previous works. It's due out in a month or so, and we'll all have to wait.

Saturday, April 20
In Zimbabwe, where unemployment is between 60 and 85 percent, education continues to be a crucial aspect of making progress for new generations. The Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa, Presbytery of Zimbabwe, is committed to education on many levels. Through the presbytery's Presbyterian Education Trust, numerous students are funded for theological college. These students will soon be leaders across the nation, and not just in matters of religion. The trust is also committed to education at primary and secondary levels; it oversees the operation of 10 schools, thereby educating thousands of students around Zimbabwe.
Mr. Morgan Matombo cares for his granddaughter and his grandniece, both of whom are students at Mhondoro Presbyterian School, a boarding school about 90 miles southwest of Harare. "Aside from the exemplary teachers and staff," Mr. Matombo says, "my favorite aspect of Mhondoro is the care that the chaplain, Rev. Staben Maenda, gives to the children. He cares for them during the week and cares for them on the weekend, with Sunday school lessons." The goal of the Presbyterian Education Trust is that all students receive spiritual care alongside their normal education.
Despite diminishing resources and increasing needs, the trust is preparing young people whose skills and talents will be greatly needed in years to come. It is wonderful to see the church in action, providing for Zimbabwe's future.

I think that Survivor has played itself out. The last few episodes of this past season (which were as much of it as I watched) were pretty good and I really liked the previous season. But the producers are slipping. They rely far too much on returning players and other gimmicks (Redemption Island, for example) that have little to do with the social psychology aspects of the show that made it so appealing in the first place. There is also something fundamentally wrong with their current screening process; there is no way that Brandon would have cleared the psych evaluation once, let alone twice, in the early seasons.
Oh, well. It was a good run while it lasted.
The phantom tribe (aka the outcast tribe) was made up of people who had already been voted out. The first six (??) people voted from the game were kept isolated and on rations and were brought back in for a challenge. They competed against the actual tribes and if they won the challenge, two people could be voted back in by the others in the phantom tribe. After the vote, they drew buffs (one for each tribe), their torches were lit and they were back in the game.
That was Pearl Islands--Sandra's first win, Lil the Scoutmaster, Johnny Fairplay and his "dead" grandmother, Rupert the pirate, Osten the first contestant to quit, and assorted other memorable things that kind of make even people who watched that season forget that there was a ghost tribe.
"There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class." -- Judith Martin
Hmmm. I remember Johnny Fairplay and dead grandma, and Rupert and Lil and Sandra - but nothing about the phantom tribe. I think you're right.
Must have been another season I missed most of - would have been between 2007-2009 time frame.
I do remember those others too (well, not Osten ... why did he quit?), definitely remember "Fairplay" and the dead grandma (gawd how I hated him!), but I don't remember anything about the phantom tribe at all. Guess you are right!
The dead grandma was awesome in its evilness.
Lil was one of the people voted out who came back in the phantom tribe.
Osten was absolutely useless in challenges--all muscles, no drive. He volunteered to be voted out, but when Jeff found out at Tribal Council, he made Osten quit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruzCnRyQwI4
Little did Jeff know what the future would hold in the way of quitters.
I'd forgotten Tijuana's squeaky cartoon voice Not that Darrah's nasal twang was much better.

Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
I don't like tribe switches as it messes with the developing strategies that I'm more interested. Occasionally they have sent one tribe member to visit another's tribe - I recall Russell's first season - and I think that's interesting and could be better used. They also used to bring one member of each tribe together for a summit - remember Boston Rob and Kathy? - and that resulted in some interesting dynamics as well.
The reward challenges where the winner has to surprise! pick someone to go along and then surprise! pick another person are getting tiresome, as are the ones where half of them go and half of them don't. Just breaks things up too much when we need more air time of what's happening back at camp.
Maybe so. Remember the book that chronicled season one? It was interesting because the show started airing before the game was finished, and Burnett was writing the book as it went along, so there's less of the slick packaging to build their storylines and conclusion, and more of a Big Brother rollout where no one knows how it will end until it does. Anyway, Burnett talks about a few times where they had to wing it, as they were learning just like the rest of us.
However, while we want to call konspiracy all the time, I do think the machine is pretty big and well oiled at this point to be doing things like switching around challenges to favour certain players. After all, even when you think someone's going to be a lock or a disaster at something, there are always surprises. I think where manipulation comes in is sometimes Jeff's leading questions at TC, and in the initial casting when they are clearly trying to set up certain dynamics.
Anyone watch BB Canada this season? I was talking to someone who worked on the show and told them that fans were highly suspect of the timing of the return a player vote, because it resulted in the season's most interesting and colourful character returning to the game, which surely the producers wanted to happen. This person told me that before the season started they got a giant manual that laid out every episode - exactly when there would be double evictions, what challenges would happen when, and when exactly the return vote would happen, and it's exactly the script they followed. Getting Gary back was just lucky.
There are hundreds of people involved in these things, so I do think making arbitrary decisions to manipulate the game, while certainly not impossible, isn't very likely.
While Survivor is also laid out in advance, the show has both the contractual right and the ability to change things on the fly. This is necessary because of the weather, if nothing else. This tends to make people suspicious of everything that happens and leads to a lot of conspiracy theories about producer manipulation.
Redemption Island, OTOH, was openly acknowledged to have been included as a way to give returning players a chance to stay in the game longer, as the producers anticipated that the returning players would be targeted immediately and they wanted to give the returnees a shot at getting back in the game. The challenges themselves are not manipulated; if they were, Russell would have played longer. Jeff has made a couple of mistakes calling challenges over the years and they've had to pay off cast members for those mistakes, but otherwise, the challenges have been scrupulously clean. Some cast members have accused the producers of trying to manipulate them during interviews by pushing them toward or away from certain actions, but I don't think even the angriest cast member has ever even hinted that the challenges are rigged in any way.
"There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class." -- Judith Martin
oops my bad, and now that I think of it I've been corrected before on this point! Just looked up and here's the Wiki page that gives the exact filming air dates - March 13-Apr 20, and premiere was May 31.
But there's still a point to be made - they would have had to start editing the show before it finished (unless they had a very big budget), so far less opportunity to do what they do now in leaving stuff out they think doesn't fit their storylines, giving some players different edits depending on what happens later in the game etc.
The incident I remember most clearly was from S3 Africa, where there was a question about cast member tattoos in the final challenge (I think? although final challenges tend to be balance/stamina based, not questions), I think Big Tom was eliminated even though his answer was right. They had to pay him the same amount as the runner-up.
I've brought that up before - I thought the same thing, because in the show, the implication was that she was watching what we had seen, and therefore the show had started airing. Someone here (probably Prancer ) schooled me that she was watching an edit of the first ep, but it had not actually aired yet.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
I have posted this before... I think a fun season would be to do one just like Season 1. People would be searching for HII and nothing. So no tribe switching -just the merge. I think it would be amusing as people would be stressing about switches or returnees and HII and have none of it.
Love reading the about the history. I usually don't like rewatching tv shows, but it would be fun to see some of the earlier ones.
I love that idea! Better yet, give them clues that lead nowhere
And how about for rewards, the winner takes no one - they go by themselves, thus without an opportunity to do any favours for anyone and they are stuck without the tribe for a day. Then everyone wonders if that will happen again, so they have to decide whether they actually want to win.
I'm also still gunning for the same idea I've been harping about for years - a season of experts. They've had a few over the years, but never a whole season of people who each bring some advantage to the game based on their background, profession, skills etc. Like a survivalist, a professional negotiator, a champion puzzler, an elected politician, an obstacle course champ, a jury consultant etc etc. They don't tell them what's going on, each thinks they have something special, some will likely try to hide it, others will figure it out. Maybe include a champion from another country - someone who has played the game and won, but not one of our retreads who everyone would recognize.
When I get on Survivor, I will win the family challenge. And I will promptly pass it on to the person who I want to have voted out and let them decide who gets the family visit. Yes, I will be that bitch. I said it.
Beefcake's fancy, saccharine, artsy, drag bingo cliche effusing, bipolar, OTT fashionista manchild
Piercings, not tattoos, and Lex more than Big Tom, but yeah There was another "how well do you know the others" challenge that had the same problem, and so we haven't seen a "how well do you know your tribemates" challenge in a long time.
There was also a challenge where the contestants had to run a ropes challenge, attaching themselves to the ropes with carabiners, and Colby didn't click on one of the ropes correctly. Jeff missed it, Colby won, and there was a payout there. And then there was another one that I don't remember in detail at the moment, but I am pretty sure it was on All Stars.
The suit was settled, but her complaint was that Mark Burnett talked two of the other players into changing his vote in order to keep Rudy on the show. Burnett admitted talking to them about it; one of the players supported Stillman and said he was pressured, but the other person said that Burnett talked to him but advised him to vote his conscience.
Other players have mentioned things like that from time to time--that producers will talk to them about making certain plays but will always leave the final decision up to the players. That is supposed to be one of the things that has made Erik so angry about this season--he was said to have been very "uncooperative" with the producers during filming and has made some oblique comments about refusing to be their puppet.

Sample Labeling and Processing
Use freshly prepared extracts for protein labeling is highly recommended. Use of extracts from frozen tissues or cell lines with low viability, or old protein extracts may give inadequate results.
For successful labeling, the extract should be clear. If small particles are observed, it is recommended to perform a rapid centrifugation just before the labeling procedure.
Excess of Cy3/Cy5 dye is eliminated by a rapid and easy method using SigmaSpin columns (Product No. S0185). Other methods for eliminating the excess of dyes, such as PD10 columns or dialysis can be used.
The dye to protein ratio (D/P ratio) should be >2. If this ratio is not achieved, a new sample should be labeled.
In cases where 1mg of nuclear protein extract is not obtained, lower amounts can be labeled. However, the ratio of dye to protein in the labeling mix should be kept the same. The Cy3/Cy5 dyes can be dissolved in 50-100 µl Carbonate-Bicarbonate Buffer pH 9.5-9.6 and used for the labeling procedure. For example if 400 µg of nuclear extract is obtained then 20 µl of Cy3 or Cy5 can be used (assuming the dyes were dissolved in a total volume of 50 µL of buffer.
Protein Labeling
- Use 1 mL of extract (1 mg/mL) for labeling with Cy3 or Cy5. Add 1mL of extract solution to the dye vial. Cap the vial and mix thoroughly. Care should be taken to prevent foaming of the protein solution.
- Incubate the reaction at room temperature for 30 minutes, mixing the solution every 10 minutes.
- Remove the free Cy3/Cy5 from the labeled sample by applying on SigmaSpin columns (Product No. S0185) as follows:
- Loosen the cap of the column by half a turn and then snap off the bottom closure.
- Place the column in a microcentrifuge tube and centrifuge for 2 minutes at 750 x g.
- Discard the eluate.
- Place the column in a new collection tube.
- Pipette 150 µL of the labeled protein sample solution directly onto the center of the SigmaSpin column. The remaining labeled extract can be stored at -70 °C.
- Centrifuge for 4 minutes at 750 x g.
- Discard the column and retain the eluate. This is the labeled protein sample. Protect it from prolonged exposure to light.
- Determine the protein concentration by Bradford method.
- Store the labeled protein at 2–8 °C. The sample may be frozen in case it is not possible to proceed immediately to the next step.
Determination of dye to protein molar ratio (D/P ratio)
- Measure the Cy3 and Cy5 absorbance at 552 nm and 650 nm, respectively. Read the absorbance of the dyes at their exact absorbance wavelengths maxima. Use Buffer A as the blank.
- Calculate the molar concentration of Cy3 and Cy5 taking into account the following:
• For a non-homogenous extract that contains a mixture of proteins, the protein molecular weight should be taken
as 60 kDa.
• The µmolar extinction coefficient (εmM) of Cy3 and Cy5 are:
Cy3: εmM(552 nm) = 0.15 µM-1cm-1
Cy5: εmM(650 nm) = 0.25 µM-1cm-1
Cy3 concentration (µM) = A552/0.15
Cy5 concentration (µM) = A650/0.25
Y (mg/mL) = protein concentration after labeling (see Step IIA-4)
Protein (µM) concentration = Y (mg/mL) /60,000 ] x 106
DP = | Cy3 or Cy5 concentration Protein concentration of sample |

Quintana pitches White Sox to sweep of Rangers
Posted: 8:53 PM Jul 5, 2012
Rookie Jose Quintana allowed two hits in eight stellar innings, Kevin Youkilis came through again with a go-ahead homer and the Chicago White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers with a 2-1 victory Thursday.
On a scorching day at U.S. Cellular Field - with a first-pitch temperature of 99 degrees that hit 102 by the fourth inning - Quintana (4-1) walked one and struck out a career-high eight. He gave up a leadoff single to Ian Kinsler in the first and an RBI single to Adrian Beltre in the fourth on a line drive that hit the left-hander near the hip and bounded past first.
Youkilis took All-Star Matt Harrison (11-4) deep in the sixth to break a 1-all tie, his sixth homer of the season and second since joining the White Sox in a trade from Boston last month.
