ESCO Technologies Inc. Stock Upgraded (ESE)

Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- ESCO Technologies (NYSE:ESE) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income, expanding profit margins, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.

- ESE's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 0.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- 40.60% is the gross profit margin for ESCO TECHNOLOGIES INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 9.19% is above that of the industry average.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has greatly exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Machinery industry average. The net income increased by 14.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $15.38 million to $17.68 million.
- ESE's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.18 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.89 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 34.23% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.

There aren't a whole lot of A3 printer-scanners on the market that are aimed at consumers, but despite this, Brother's MFC-J6510DW shows that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get your hands on an all-in-one printer that's capable of handling larger format paper sizes.
Available for around £145 online, not only does this multi-function model allow you to print and scan A3 pages, but it's also got fax and copying features on board.
Design and features
You get a lot for your money with the MFC-J6510DW. This is a big beast of a machine, measuring 540x489x257mm, so you're not going to be able to perch it on the end of your desk. The sheer scale of the thing means it's not exactly dainty, and the matte black finish doesn't help its aesthetic appeal.
As this is a multi-function model, its control panel offers more buttons than a space shuttle's flight console. The right-hand side of the panel houses the main four-way cursor pad, as well as the numerical keypad for dialling fax numbers. Next to this is a print cancel button, as well as dedicated buttons for black and white and colour photocopying.
A landscape screen that measures 77x30mm sits in the centre, and to the left of this are dedicated buttons for the fax, scan, copy and photo capture features. Brother has also added another keypad for storing quick-dial numbers for the fax function.
Just beneath the control panel is a PictBridge-compatible USB port as well as a SD and memory stick card reader, so you can print photos directly from camera or memory cards, without first having to transfer them to your computer.
Mindful of the already large size of this printer, Brother has sensibly made the bottom cassette paper tray telescopic. When you're not printing A3 sheets, the tray can be reduced in size, allowing it to completely slide into the body of the machine. This tray can take up to 250 sheets of paper at a time. However, this model doesn't have a secondary tray, so you have to empty the main tray when you want to print photos.
Sitting on top of the scanner is a 35-sheet automatic document feeder so you can scan or copy multi-page documents without having to manually place each sheet on the scanner's surface. Also, it can scan full A3-sized sheets, which will be handy for some people.
Setting up this model is very straightforward. Just open the flap on the front-left of the printer, insert the four ink cartridges and then load the drivers onto your PC. The printer can be used directly via USB. Alternatively, you can hook it into your network using either Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Scanning, faxing and photocopying
Like this machine's print engine, its scanner can also work with A3 pages, so you can produce direct one-to-one copies of larger documents. The scanner has a resolution of 19,200x19,200 dpi and scans generally looked pretty crisp and clear, which also helped this machine to deliver good quality copies.
The copier function took 20 seconds to complete a copy of our A4 test sheet, which is not particularly fast. The fax functions are standard, but the automatic document feeder is a great time saver when faxing multi-page documents. The quick-dial keys are handy if you regularly have to fax a lot of documents to the same numbers.
Print speeds
Print speeds are fairly good by inkjet standards. It took 1 minute 14 seconds to produce my 10-page black and white text document and 2 minutes 42 seconds for a double-sided version of the same document. My 10-page graphics test document was completed in 2 minutes 30 seconds, while it took 2 minutes 17 seconds to deliver my 10-page business presentation.
Photo printing is slow, however. It worked on a 4x6-inch snap for 1 minute 7 seconds, whereas most inkjets are capable of printing this type of photo in around 40 seconds. Printing an A3 picture at the best quality was also slow, taking 8 minutes 24 seconds.
Print quality
Print quality for graphics is actually impressive. There was no discernible banding on my business presentation. And while colours could have been a tad more vivid on my graphics test sheet, the detail and sharpness levels were good. Photo print-outs also look impressive for a four-ink model.
However, text quality isn't quite as good as I would have liked. Text looks a little light on the page and letters aren't as cleanly formed as on the best inkjet models.
Print costs
If you shop around for ink cartridges, you can actually get them for quite reasonable prices. As a result, print costs are very low. For example, a black and white page works out at around 1.7p, while a colour page comes in at 5.4p.
The MFC-J6510DW does a great job of printing graphics and photos on A4 as well as large A3-sized sheets. It has an abundance of features and it's reasonably cheap to run and quick to use. I find it hard to fault an all-in-one A3 printer and scanner at this price, especially when it handles printing tasks so well.

Hi! You can see from my signature that we have a baby girl (3 months) named Inés, so obviously I love it.
Dindlee is correct that in the US they will ignore any accent marks you put on official documents. Informally, I generally try to spell Inés with the accent because we are using the Spanish pronunciation. I am American, and it never occurred to me that I would be disrespecting my family or culture by spelling it in Spanish the proper way. (My husband is South American). I was also a Spanish teacher, so it would bug me to not use the accent mark as much as possible.
For middles, I don't love Inés Anneliese because they both end in the same sound, but it's not a bad combination. And Anneliese is pretty and you have the familial connections with the name, so I think you should keep it on your list as a possibility. Someone above suggested the middle name we chose - Magdalena. Other middles we seriously considered were:
Inés Pilar
Inés Belén
Inés Liliana
Inés Eloísa
Inés Paloma
Inés Beatriz (but we nixed that because of the /s/ ending on both)
I also like:
Inés Marisol
Inés Margarita (this would work in German, right?)
Inés Louisa (this would work in German, right?)
ETA: Do you definitely want something that will work in German or are you more open than that? I just read your other thread and see there you were asking for German middles.Last edited by aguafresca; June 6th, 2013 at 06:28 PM.

Aguafresca, at first I was only looking for German names but since Ines honors both my Portuguese and his German roots I'm open to other possibilities. However I'd like it to be 3 syllables because I do like the 2-3-2 flow and also I'd like the name to be easily translated into both languages if possible. Hubby likes Alexandra which isn't too bad, plus it's easily translated into Portuguese [AL-SHUN-DRA]. What are some other 3 syllable options you think might work?

I'm Portuguese too, and Inês/Ines is lovely I'd say not to use Inés, because, well, that's nor Portuguese nor "American"... but the "^" might be hard to use in the US, perhaps...
I think Inês Anneliese flows well with the Portuguese pronounce!
Inês Alexandra would seem completely Portuguese to us.

U.S. News will release its annual law school rankings next week. That means that a bunch of would-be law students will have another somewhat arbitrary look at which schools have the right to saddle them with lifelong debt, and which schools should be begging them to come with money.
So it's time to fire up the ATL Decision Machine! You know how this works: you email us with the two schools you are choosing between, we tell you what to do, you end up going to the highest ranked school you can get into anyway.
Usually, Lat and I give slightly competing reasons, but he's on vacation right now, so mwahahaha. Today's choice is interesting: two good schools, but only one is shelling out any money…

Synaptics, a company well known for developing the touchpads and clickpads found on laptops from a number of manufactures, has officially announced a couple of new touch-focused products aimed at the next generation of Windows 8 devices: the ForcePad and ThinTouch. The first is a radical redesign of its existing touchpad technology, while the latter marks the company's entry into the keyboard market.
Both technologies are aimed at making notebooks even thinner, but they also enable new functionality. The ForcePad, for instance, provides users with a capacitive touch surface capable of detecting up to five fingers at once and even the pressure applied with each of them -- up to 1000 grams of force with 64 levels of differentiation. Synaptics demonstrated the technology's accuracy with a test program that showed a sponge reacting to finger presses, and a potential use case for gaming where users could make a fighter jet tilt left or right, depending on how much pressure was applied to either side of the ForcePad.
According to the company, the added dimension of touch sensing will help preserve a consistent touchpad experience from laptop to laptop no matter the difference in touchpad size -- which would be sort of a big deal, since from our experience, touchpads on Windows laptops have been anything but consistent.
More importantly, Synaptics worked with Microsoft to develop a set of specifications and guidelines for OEMs to enable all sorts of gestures in their Windows 8 systems. That includes things like two, three and four finger swipes, two finger right clicking, scrolling, and several force-enhanced gestures.
Synaptics says the ForcePad is 40 percent thinner than a similar current-generation pad, which translates into free space for increased battery life, better cooling, thinner designs or a combination of these.
The company also offered a preview of its first foray into keyboards, the ThinTouch. Synaptics says the ThinTouch keyboard will be 30 to 50 percent thinner than competing keyboards, which is possible thanks to a redesigned key mechanism that uses capacitive sensing to determine when a key is pressed, while still allowing the key to move. Rather than keys going straight down when pressed, they actually travel at an angle diagonally towards you, in theory providing similar feedback as a standard keyboard but taking up less space.
Since there's no switch below the surface of the key, backlighting becomes an easier problem to solve too, while also supposedly offering improved manufacturability and reliability. Since each key is touch and pressure sensitive, things like keyboard-based gesture commands are also possible, or being able to detect where your hands are for text prediction and avoiding touchpad interference while typing.
It's unclear when either of Synaptics' new products will make their way into laptops and how much it would add to OEM manufacturing costs. We know the latter like to cut corners to keep costs down, but perhaps Synaptics' strong foothold in the touchpad market will help speed up adoption.

Never mind.
Wont pressure sensitive keyboards be amazing for gaming?
(I really should finish reading before I post.)
Synaptics is a cool company. They have had "4:20 PM" for years as the clock time in their configuration utility under 'device settings'. Must be where they get these innovative ideas.
Can we not just forget these advancements and go straight to laser projection keyboards like the one the Israelis invented a few years back? Granted, they might not be designed for gamers, but they've got the backlight problem sorted!
Stick a laser projector on the bottom of a tablet, prop up the screen and have it project the keyboard onto the surface in front of it. Bye-bye laptops!
Or maybe I'm thinking too far ahead.
just a little. Laser projections have a hard time telling if im pressing t, g, or b. and that have that problem ALL THE TIME.
Pressure would be AWESOME for gaming. No longer would I have to inch forward by lightly tapping a key!

After the abrupt cancellation of Sunday's New York City Marathon, some of those who had been planning to run the 26.2-mile race through the city streets instead volunteered their time, handing out toothbrushes, batteries, sweatshirts and other supplies on Staten Island.
Thousands of other athletes from around the world ran anyway inside Central Park, where a little more than four laps around it amounted to a marathon. "A lot of people just want to finish what they've started,'' said Lance Svendsen, organizer of a group called Run Anyway.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York state is facing "a massive, massive housing problem'' for those whose neighborhoods or buildings are in such bad shape that they won't have power for weeks or months.
"I don't know that anybody has ever taken this number of people and found housing for them overnight,'' Bloomberg said. "We don't have a lot of empty housing in this city,'' he added. "We're not going to let anybody go sleeping in the streets. ... But it's a challenge, and we're working on it.''
The mayor and the governor gave no details of where and how the victims might be housed.
After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita smashed the Gulf Coast in 2005, hundreds of thousands of victims were put up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in trailers, hotels, cruise ships and apartments across several states for months and even years.
George W. Contreras, associate director of the emergency and disaster management program at Metropolitan College of New York, speculated that large encampments of trailers might be set up at a stadium, in a park or in some other open space in the city -- something he couldn't recall being done in New York ever before.
"The amount of actual units the city might have in buildings is probably very limited, so I think people will be in FEMA shelters for a while,'' he said.
On a basketball court flanked by powerless apartment buildings in the Far Rockaway section of Queens, volunteers for the city handed out bagels, diapers, water, blankets and other necessities. Genice Josey stuffed a blanket into a garbage bag.
"Nights are the worst because you feel like you're outside when you're inside,'' said Josey, who sleeps under three blankets and wears longjohns under her pajamas. "You shiver yourself to sleep.'' She added: "It's like we're going back to barbaric times where we had to go find food and clothing and shelter.''
On Staten Island, emergency management officials distributed leaflets urging people to take shelter from the cold. But "people are apprehensive and don't want to leave their houses. It's a definite problem,'' said Fred Melendez, who helped run a shelter at Tottenville High School that was nearly empty of storm victims Sunday afternoon.
Fearing looters, Nick Veros and his relatives were hoping to hold out in their storm-damaged Staten Island home until power was restored. He figured the indoor temperature would plunge into the 40s.
"If we get two consecutive below-freezing days, I'm probably going to have to drain the water out of the pipes,'' he said, "and then we'll have to get out of the house.''

PLATTSBURGH — Sometimes a tie can be a good thing.
Charisse Abellard's direct kick with just 14 seconds left in regulation Saturday gave the Clinton Community College women's soccer team a 1-all overtime tie with Mohawk Valley Community College at the Field House Soccer Complex.
"They are the No. 3 team in the country and No. 3 in our region," said Clinton coach Donna Dixon. "They have a very high-powered offense, averaging five goals a game.
"We got more confident the longer we stayed in the game. We came out in the second half and played real well, not giving them a lot of opportunities. They outshot us, but weren't that dangerous."
The Hawks, following a scoreless first half, opened the scoring with 20:39 gone in the second stanza on Megan Carlo's goal.
But Kenna Agoney was taken down later on and the Cougars were awarded a direct kick. Abellard made it count.
"Charisse made a great shot — she has a great leg and sent the ball inside the far post," said Dixon.
Neither team scored in overtime.
"We had our opportunities in the overtimes," said Dixon. "But, for us to get a tie was a huge victory for us considering how good they are. It was a gutsy, gutsy performance. The girls went out and did what they needed to do. I'm very proud of them."
Mohawk Valley finished with a 25-17 shot advantage. Emily Schultz made 21 saves in net for the Cougars and Vanessa Jecko 12 stops for the Hawks.
"Emily came out and played her best game of the year," said Dixon. "She intercepted a lot of balls.
"Collectively, it was one of our best games and there was no quit in these girls. They knew we had to tie or win one of our last two regional games and they fought to the end as you can tell."
The tie put the Cougars (6-4-2) into the regional tournament. Clinton still has four games to play and how it fares will determine what kind of seed it gets.
Mohawk Valley is now 11-1-1 on the season.

PLATTSBURGH — Akash Tarar's game-winner at 24:45 of the first half helped the Clinton Community College men's soccer team to its sixth straight win in a 1-0 defeat of Mohawk Valley Community College Saturday.
Tarrar's lone marker on the afternoon had Jordan Knight credited with the assist.
"We changed our philosophy and switched to the flat back four (formation," said head coach Zach Eppler. "Our players made a smooth transition and we were opportunistic in the first half. It proved to be the difference-maker early on."
Keeper Travis Agoney fended off 10 shots in the shutout performance. Eppler said he played an integral role in the team's victory.
"(Agoney) did a great job adjusting to wet weather conditions," Eppler said. "They certainly put on the pressure in the second half and he remained composed."
In a game where Mohawk Valley led in the shots on goal department 10-7, Eppler said Jamie Davison and Jordan Knight played exceptional up front.
"They won a lot of 50-50 battles and owned a significant amount of possession time," Eppler said. "They were opportunistic."
The Cougars will venture to Adirondack Community College in a pivotal region game on Wednesday at 4 o'clock.
Clinton 1, Mohawk Valley 0
Mohawk Valley 0 0 — 0
Clinton 1 0 — 1

1, CCC, Tarar (Knight), 24:45.

Hang tight!
Recipe by TIFFANY REED
"This is an easy recipe that is pretty much fool proof. I manage a market cafe that serves homemade pastries in the morning, and this 'made-up' recipe was a total seller with our customers. Now they come in and ask for these over and over. I hope you'll enjoy these as much as our customers do."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup sliced almonds
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups frozen raspberries
This is a great idea for a muffin, but as a former professional baker I think this recipe needs a little tweaking! First, I added an egg and substituted the water for buttermilk. Some previous users commented that the muffins appeared grayish-- the milk should solve this problem. I also added some cinnamon and vanilla extract to help the flavor-- not too much, you don't want to overpower the almond! I used about 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Hope that helps everyone, they turned out great for me!!
Not bad but they were pretty tart and an odd grayish color.

These muffins are great! I used only 1tsp almond extract and be sure the raspberries are still frozen when you put them in the mix. This will avoid the "gray" color. Also just lightly fold the berries in.
I loved this recipie. Almonds are my favorite nut, and Raspberries are my favorite berry, so this is the perfect combination for me. Toasting the almonds really brought out the flavor. I added a bit more almond extract then called for, and they turned ot great. Thank you for sharing this recipie with us! I'll deffinetly be making it again and again. :)
The flavor of these muffins is wonderful! I made them for myself for Mother's Day morning and the whole family loved the treat. I'm back to get the recipe out again, I've thought of them often and keep craving them. Really moist and good! Thanks!
Easy & excellent. I made 12 muffins in a regular sprayed tin and baked at 375. They disappeared within hours after baking. My friend used a combination of raspberries and blueberries, with the same yummy results. The inside color is a little grey, but it does not detract from the taste. I am being prodded to make them again.
We have raspberry bushes in our backyard so I'm always looking for ways to use these. I have four children, they loved the muffins. I omitted the almonds (for the kids). It was really delicious. The almond flavoring was enough to make me feel like I was eating something adult. This recipe was also very fast and easy.
So good! :D I blended my berries and used walnuts instead of almonds (it's what I had on hand). I'll be using this again in the not so distant future. :D

Now a member of the Pac-12 the Utes have a growing number of fans. The University of Utah says that demand is one reason why they opened the red zone stores.
Director of Communication Keith Sterling told ABC 4 Utah, "When we first looked at this issue it was in response to demand from alumni, faculty, staff and students particularly alumni who felt coming to the campus for merchandise was inconvenient."
A new audit by the legislative auditor accuses the University of Utah of violating the Board of Regents' policy of competing with private businesses. Representative Johnny Anderson brought the possible violation to the auditors' attention.
Rep. Anderson said, "These are stores that are owned by the University of Utah, they're essentially satellite locations for the University of Utah bookstore selling officially licensed products that are also sold in other private retailers."
While their prices may be consistent with that of the private sector, and the Red Zone stores are collecting the appropriate sales taxes, Rep. Anderson says they're still competing and that means their in violation of their policy.
"The University of Utah has a humongous budget, much of which is subsidized by taxpayers, so they're maybe not undercutting even at that level it's pretty unfair competition."
The university says the creation of the Red Zone stores were approved by the Board of Trustees and it's something that many Pac-12 universities have.
Sterling told ABC 4 Utah, "Several of the schools in the Pac-12 have many locations, actually more than we do, that sell their merchandise. It's not an uncommon approach."
Sterling admits while the Board of Trustees approved of the Red Zone stores, the Board of Regents did not. He says the university is going to sit down with the Regents and the Legislature to see what it would take to address everyone's concerns.

The Field Recordings - The Elastic Nostalgia |
One of my favorite things in the world is when I hear a band on some type of recorded medium and then watch them pull it off live. The Field Recordings not only "pulled it off" when I saw them live but they pretty much melted my face right off.
First I have an apology to offer. When I put together a list of the best albums by CT bands in 2011 for CT.com I really should have included this album. I knew as I was putting the album list together I would forget someone who deserved to be on the list and sure enough I did. (Sorry guys.) The Field Recordings play an awesome blend of post-punk, indie rock, punk and pop. I hear influences as wide ranging as Elvis Costello to The Smiths to Talking Heads to The Buzzcocks to Fugazi. They graciously pull from both sides of the Atlantic where that's concerned. But unlike some bands trying to pull off the jangly indie sound theirs is a sound so full and so large it's hard to believe that they pull it off with just three dudes on guitar, bass and drums.
It was even harder to believe that the live show could be even more full of energy and talent than the album. That's not to say the album has any drawbacks because it doesn't. But I wasn't prepared for how well this album was going to translate into the live venue. I'm extremely stoked that we were filming for our Live & Local series because I can't wait to unleash it on the world. Until then you are just going to have to purchase this record. Trust me when I say you won't be disappointed.

Hollywood's biggest womanisers
Hugh Hefner
BDG/Rex FeaturesShow Thumbnails
Hugh Hefner is the biggest womaniser on the planet, thanks to the Playboy mansion and his harem of Playboy bunnies. He initially played the 'victim' card, saying he only became a lady killer after being rejected by his childhood sweetheart. "That rejection prompted me to reinvent myself. I started referring to myself as Hef instead of Hugh, I changed how I dressed and became a better dancer." Whoa, you kinda did way more than learn to dance, Hef.
