This is a golden era for initial public offerings. More of them priced in the second quarter of 2013, 44 in all, than in any period since the final quarter of 2006. A strong small-cap market has helped push these fledgling-company shares to new heights: The average first-half deal jumped 16.97% on its first day, gaining a total of 39.16% by the end of July. "I'd characterize the IPO market as white hot," says Tim Keating, CEO of the Denver area's Keating Capital, which invests in private offerings of companies on track to become public.
If you remember, there was nothing white hot about last spring's IPO market. Facebook FB 0.1030662200463798% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD77.7 0.08 0.1030662200463798% /Date(1417207779681-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 15659931 AFTER HOURS USD77.65 -0.05 -0.06435006435006435% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 332104 P/E Ratio 71.94444444444444 Market Cap 216392746298.421 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1767400 More quote details and news » (ticker: FB) had just raised $16 billion in May, the biggest Internet IPO of all time. The deal was overpriced, a technology glitch at Nasdaq caused shares to be misallocated, and a number of buyers accused the company and its bankers of selectively disseminating earnings revisions to bigger investors. Very few IPOs of any sort got done for awhile afterward. It's fitting, then, that last week Facebook's share price, in this year's stronger market, got back to its original offering price of $38, after falling as low as $17.55.
Ripples from the Facebook deal haven't spent themselves yet. For the first six months of 2013, the new-issue market priced 67 IPOs, raising $18 billion, compared with 59 deals worth $25.2 billion in the same period a year earlier, according to Dealogic, which tracks stock and bond offerings. But then again, Facebook's offering accounted for nearly two-thirds of 2012's first-half volume.
Conditions this year are more balanced and healthy. U.S. stocks generally have gained, with a blistering pace set by the small-cap group that most IPOs join. The Russell 2000 Index, the small-cap benchmark, rose 15% in the first half, well ahead of the S&P 500's nearly 13% gain. At the same time, the markets have been less volatile, giving bankers, issuers, and investors a little more breathing room to value the deals and the market (see the best- and worst-performing deals, in the Easy Money graphic below). The question is how long this supportive environment lasts.
For now, at least, the result is not just more deals, but also more diverse and mature issuers. Rather than Facebook and a smattering of finance deals in 2012, this year has seen health care, construction, technology, and finance/insurance all account for more than 10% of dollar volume (see table below headed "A More Diverse, Balanced Mix of IPO Issuers").

(Dealogic's complete list of first-half 2013 IPOs, with pricing terms and returns through mid-July, is available here.) The average age of an IPO company is now a robust 17 years.
"THE STRENGTH HAS COME FROM the backlog of supply built up over the last couple of years. The IPO market was shut down in part because of the European financial crisis" as well as the U.S. mortgage crisis and banking problems in both areas, says Linda Killian, a portfolio manager at Renaissance Capital, a Greenwich, Conn. firm that runs an IPO fund and researches new offerings. "This is the first time in a number of years that we've been able to put together several quarters of uninterrupted deal flow."
Within this flow have been more of the classic venture-capital-backed deals, notes Keating, who counted 21 of them in the second quarter, up from eight in the first. Renaissance, too, noted the shift toward VC-style growth deals and away from megaofferings where buyout firms are returning portfolio companies to the public markets. "Institutional investors have shifted from being risk averse, seeking yield and blue-chip stocks, to seeking growth," says Killian. Another aid was the 2012 passage of the JOBS Act in Congress, which has eased some of the regulatory and filing burdens on small firms, generally regarded as the best generators of new employment opportunities.
Biotech, which accounted for about 20 IPOs in the second quarter (the most since 2000), has been a big beneficiary. Venture money has become more important to these high-risk businesses because government, big pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions have either withdrawn from early-stage development or cut back generally on biotech investments.

Oft-rumored IPO candidates such as Dropbox, which enables sharing of files such as photos and videos, and Twitter, the social-media site likely to receive Facebook-like publicity, will have to decide soon if they want to cash in on this market.
Others facing this decision include Chegg, which provides online textbook rentals, homework help, and access to scholarships for college students; Violin Memory, which makes flash-memory arrays; Sugar CRM, an enterprise-software outfit whose functions include sales-force automation and customer support; Foursquare, a social-networking site for mobile devices that alerts others to your location and gives tips on what to do at specific venues; Spotify, a subscription-based music-streaming service that lets you choose songs or listen to the song collections of others, including recording artists; and King, a game maker for mobile devices.
More traditional businesses such as retailer Neiman Marcus, home builder LGI Homes, and dining chains like Cheddar's Casual Café have all filed preliminary papers to go public.
But can the small-cap market handle the stampede? The multiple on the Russell 2000 is a hefty 19 times next year's projected earnings, well above the large-cap benchmark S&P 500's 14 times.
With each passing quarter, it becomes more likely that the two-year small-cap rally will slow down or even reverse course, says Henry Ellenbogen, portfolio manager of the T. Rowe Price New Horizons fund (PRNHX), with assets of $12 billion.
That means the clock is ticking for a lot of CEOs of small, growing businesses, says Richard Peterson, a director at S&P Capital IQ, a research firm and data collector in New York. For these corporate chieftains, Peterson says, "The issue is: Why are you waiting? The markets are now at record highs; if you can't do an IPO now, when can you do it?"

At first glance, Youngblood's Stockyard Café in Amarillo appears to be your everyday rural coffee shop. If you spend a little time here, however, you realize that the unassuming café is the heart and soul of Amarillo's legendary stockyards, where more than 300,000 head of livestock are bought and sold each year. And the food here is a cut above what you'd expect to find at a restaurant attached to an auction barn.
Gainesville is, and always has been, the gateway to Texas. The first town that visitors hit after crossing the Oklahoma state line on Interstate 35 was once an important stop for the stagecoach, and later for the Santa Fe Railroad.
THE HUNGRY TRAVELER who just happens to stumble upon tiny Addison will quickly realize that she's wandered into some dumb luck. Getting a good meal certainly isn't an issue here; crammed into this upscale Dallas suburb, which measures a mighty 4.5 square miles, are more than 170 restaurants, making it an honest-to-goodness dining destination. Such an abundance comes with its own set of problems, of course: How do you pick one place from a surprisingly good list of choices, or how do you budget the time needed to try several of these places?
When it comes to food, Lone Star pride stretches across Texas. Around the state, large commercial ovens, kettles, and steamers cook up flavors that please palates from the Gulf Coast to the Red River and beyond. Pickles, ice cream, tamales, candy, and more—if you plan your travels right, you can dine along the way solely on made-in-Texas fare.

Switzerland's Blick newspaper reports that the 24-year-old has been told that he is out of the running to secure the vacant Force India race seat. Veteran correspondent Roger Benoit said that Buemi, who lost his Toro Rosso drive at the end of 2011, will now work instead on having his deal as Red Bull's official reserve driver extended. Benoit said that Buemi, who had also been linked with a Ferrari test deal, wants his new Red Bull contract in place "as quickly as possible". "Buemi will not comment at this time. First he needs to safeguard his future," the journalist wrote. Blick added that the Ferrari-linked Frenchman Jules Bianchi, and former team driver Adrian Sutil, are now the favourites to become Paul di Resta's new teammate at Force India. Subbed by AJN.

Riley Wells "Riley" (Echodell, Or. USA) - See all my reviews
Charles Laughton gives the standout performance in this classic retelling of the Bounty mutiny. Gable appears properly confounded and gives a believable and sympathetic rendering of Fletcher Christian. The movie holds up remarkably well despite some awkward editing and gaps in the story line. Still, at 133 minutes it is a relatively long film but it never drags. In spite of allegations made in other reviews there are no "white girls in blackface" or "boats in a bathtub" scenes. True, navels are concealed but the two female leads are obviously and revealingly topless in several scenes. As for "toy boats in a bathtub" there is only one sequence that obviously utilizes a model and it isn't all that obvious. Laughton is the luminary here and his Bligh stays with you. In fact it has stayed with the culture for sixty-five years. His performance is without fault and repeated watchings bear this out. A couple of sequences bear a closer look: The mutiny montage is startlingly effective and intense. It is a realistic portrayal of sudden violence; short, confusing, and graphic. The Sunday morning prayers on deck sequence is poetic and approaches the sublime. The ship's sails gleam translucent in the sun, the Union Jack floats majestically in the breeze, sunlight reflects brightly on faces as the Captain invokes God's blessings on the voyage. The extreme contrast of light and dark in the black and white print and the metaphorical contrast of good against Bligh, the epitome of evil, is subtle yet effective. It is a beautiful few moments. In every way but gloss this film is superior to the 1962 version. The 1984 "Bounty" with Mel Gibson is a fine film but it fades in the memory. This version lingers in the subconsious.

4.0 out of 5 stars Legendary, Memorable--and Somewhat Problematic,
This review is from: Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (DVD)
Based on the then-popular novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, the 1935 MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY is among a series of legendary films of the 1930s that have been repeatedly celebrated for cinematic achievement. And small wonder: the film has a host of powerful assets.
The single most obvious among these is the star power involved: led by two Oscar-winning stars, the critically formidable Charles Laughton and the incredibly popular Clark Gable, the cast reads like a Who's Who of mid-1930s male actors ranging from leading man Franchot Tone to the memorable character actor Donald Crisp. In a visual sense, the film is also a knockout: filmed on location in a full-size replica of the Bounty, it set a new standard for capturing the sea on film. And the story itself is powerful, the tale of the battle between the cruel and autocratic Bligh and the humane and populist Fletcher Christian. Taken together, it makes for a powerful ride.
Still, some viewers may not find MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY all it is cracked to be. Then as now, Hollywood was less interested in getting the facts right than in telling a good story--and from a factual point of view the film is perhaps twenty percent accurate and eighty percent nothing more nor less than historical tarradiddle. That is no real hinderance per se; after all, we're not watching a documentary. But seen from a modern standpoint the cast now feels somewhat problematic.
Charles Laughton was so critically well regarded that he received star billing over Clark Gable for the film, and seen today his performance is easily the single most powerful in the entire film. Autocratic, brilliant, and immediately and increasingly unlikable, he drives the film from start to finish--and it is here, really, in which most of the film's historical accuracy resides. The rest of the cast, however, is extremely Hollywood. Clark Gable, Franchot Tone and all the rest give an excellent show, full of power and drive--but you never for a moment forget that they are indeed Hollywood stars and not members of the British Navy.
This is very much a "big" film in the MGM tradition, often brilliant, often memorable, and often setting new standards for the motion picture industry. And when regarded from that point of view it is extremely, extremely entertaining. But it may also be a film whose power has slightly faded with the passing of time.
The DVD package is slight and less informative than simply entertaining, including trailers, a scrap of newsreel footage, and (most interesting) a short documentary on Pitcairn Island as it existed about the time MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY was made. Although the picture and sound have not been restored per se, both are best-possible-quality short of digital restoration. Recommended to fans of classic 1930s Hollywood.

5.0 out of 5 stars What's the fuss about?,
This film doesn't seem to meet the criteria of what we call a great movie: it won't lift your spirit and soul, it doesn't really give us any lasting food for thought, it probably won't make you laugh hysterically( although I thought the swinging lantern bit was pretty funny), it probably won't really make you weep. So why is this such a respected movie?
It is a rolicking adventure of the sea. Everyone knows there were enough of those made in the old days. So why does this one stand out?
It's the acting. The rich man's son is extremely well portrayed and his speech at the end is well rendered. The entire cast is outstanding, making even the nobodys of the ship endearing and enduring. Clark Gable(no mustache?!! Horrors!) gives a deep introspective portrait of Fletcher Christian as a man that has been pushed and pushed and pushed again.
Laughton gives a Bligh that is truly one of the best villians ever to grace the screen. Gable and Laughton play off each other marvelously. As Gable reacts to Laughton's brutality, making the audience wonder what exactly will push him over the edge.
In short, what made this adventure movie so lasting? What made it a classic? I'll tell you. It's the deep introspective character development seen here. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICAN FILM,
Robin Simmons (Palm Springs area, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutiny on the Bounty [Blu-ray Book] (Blu-ray)
This epic naval adventure from 1935 is the jewel in the crown of Louis B. Mayer's MGM from the Thalberg years. Clark Gable is heroic Master's Mate Fletcher Christian and the great Charles Laughton is tyrannical Captain Bligh.
Both actors are at the peak of their considerable screen charisma and dramatic powers.
A Best Picture Oscar� winner for 1935, the lavish production is based on the true historic trilogy as told in the book of the same name by U.S. Army Air Service pilots and writers Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. The film was written and directed by Frank Lloyd on locations as diverse as Tahiti and Catalina.
The story is set in 1787. The 90 foot H.M.S. Bounty sails from Portsmouth for the South Seas in search of Breadfruit trees so slave colonies can have a cheap source of food. Bligh's harsh discipline ordered on his men for minor and perceived infractions finally led to a full mutiny after they land in Tahiti.
Bligh and a few men loyal to him are set loose in the open sea. But Bligh is rescued and Fletcher along with the surviving mutineers fear eventual arrest and take the Bounty and their Tahitian wives and flee to remote, uninhabited Pitcairn Island where they salvage the Bounty, burn the remains and set up life. Their descendents live there to this day; it is a strict, religious, inbred, colony with serious issues of abuse. Sadly, it is not an Edenic paradise.
Some trivia: There's a persistent rumor that producer Thalberg specifically cast Gable and Laughton because he believed they would truly despise one another off and on screen since Laughton was gay and Thalberg assumed Gable was a homophobe. In the film, Laughton appears to briefly glance almost adoringly at Gable, which adds to the perverse tension, almost as if a sadist is looking for a masochist to love. But I see this as part of Laughton's brilliant acting choices and nothing more. Sadly, ace cameraman Glenn Strong drowned when a boat capsized during filming in the rough South Pacific. James Cagney and David Niven both claim to have been extras. Maybe you can spot them on the sharp BD transfer?
There were two earlier cinematic version of this oft-told tale: a silent Australian film from 1916 and In The Wake of the Bounty starring Errol Flynn from 1933. Lloyd's film was remade in 1962 with Marlon Brando as Christian. Brando ended up marrying Movita, who was the beautiful, young, Tahitian love interest in the 1935 MGM film! 1984's The Bounty, starring Mel Gibson, was derived from a different account but essentially told the same story.
The great looking and sounding Blu-ray 1935 edition comes with no extras beyond a trailer and a vintage, short featurette on Pitcairn Island as it was in 1939.
When I was a boy, I met Fletcher Christian 1V(?) who was visiting the U.S. seeking support for his fellow islanders. He was an old man, but he looked just like engravings of his famous ancestor. At his urging, I became a pen-pal of a young Pitcairn girl also named Robin. As I recall, her description of island life was not idyllic or appealing.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST PICTURE OSCAR FOR 1935,
Gable is impressively right as Fletcher Christian (although his speech sounds more Ohio than English!) Laughton gives an unforgettable performance as the sadistic weakling you love to hate, Captain Bligh, while Franchot Tone is amusing in his role as Roger. The cost of the production (which took nearly 2 years to make) was a whopping (for 1935) 2 million dollars and there were 2500 extras employed for the Polynesian scenes. Gable's and Movita's scenes together have a special quality and this adaptation of the Nordoff-Hall classic (which contains aspects of truth) is storytelling at its best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but not historically accurate,
Daniel Waitkoss (St. Charles, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (DVD)
OK, while miles ahead of the 1960s remake, ruined by an over-the-top performance by a very miscast Marlon Brando, this version still does not tell the true story of the HMS Bounty and its ill-fated voyage. (See James A. Michener's "Rascals in Paradise" for a historically accurate, but brief, picture of Bligh and the mutiny.) The movie stays close to the novel by Hall & Nordhoff and uses a fictious midshipman, Roger Byam, as the main character and we see both Christian and Bligh mostly through his eyes.
The acting by Gable and Laughton are, of course, excellent and the film shows the money spent by M-G-M wasn't wasted. The Bounty, itself, was a beautiful replica and the filming at sea--especially during storms--is hair-raising. In short, if you are after historically accurate drama--then this isn't your film, but if you want an entertaining, thrilling sea adventure from Hollywood's golden age--then by all means take a chance with this great picture.

4.0 out of 5 stars THRILLING SEA EPIC IN VERY NICE LOOKING TRANSFER,
Nix Pix (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (DVD)
"Mutiny On The Bounty" is a classic sea epic about the crew of a British tall ship who revolt after their captain (Charles Laughton) becomes tyrannical on the high seas. Clark Gable cuts a handsome swashbuckling figure as Fletcher Christian - king of the mutineers. His ability to insight revolt leads to a disastrous outcome for all concerned. Franchot Tone give a poignant performance as one of the wronged sea men, put on trial but eventually exonerated from the charge of mutiny. For adventure on the high seas there's none to touch this harrowing classic!
Warner Brothers? transfer is a mixed blessing. Though much of the footage shot on indoor stages seems to have held up well over time the exterior and location photography is riddled with age related artifacts, slightly out of focus image quality and glaring film grain, dirt and grit. The gray scale sometimes has a well balanced look to it. At other times it appears to be suffering from low contrast levels. Blacks are never solid or deep. There are no digital anomalies. Fine details are never realized. The audio is mono but very nicely cleaned up. Extras include a couple of featurettes and a trailer. Ho-hum...the pirates life for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of MGM's very best.,
William R. Ray (Arden, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This film has never escaped my top ten favorites list. The only film in history to have 3 leading men nominated for best actor. While Gable is perfect as Fletcher Christian and Franchot Tone gives a superb performance as a midshipman, it's Charles Laughton's Captain Bligh that sets this film apart. You'll want to mutiny too. The ensemble cast is also memorable (unlike later films), each playing off Bligh's totally disgusting presence. Stolen cheeses, rancid rations and repeated lashings drive a crew collected by press-gangs to solicit 1st mate Christian to end their misery. And he does, casting Bligh adrift and taking the Bounty to Tahiti where half-naked island girls and a perfect tranquil life compare to Bligh like heaven to hell. I shed a tear every viewing during Tone's 'lift their hearts' speech at the end. This is a must see classic in every sense. Highest recommendation (for all but the youngest children)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful movie, great acting, historically inaccurate!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (DVD)
Bligh's name has entered the English language as a synonym for cruelty. In reality he flogged his men less than did most of the British captains in the South Pacific in the 1800's. Bligh served under Captain Cook and continued Cook's humane reforms for the sailors (better food and sanitation, etc). For a more balanced view of Bligh and Fletcher Christian, read MR. BLIGH'S BAD LANGUAGE. In the meantime, myth outlives history. I still love this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Witches can float, and so could Bligh,
Linda McDonnell "TutorGal" (Brooklyn, U.S.A) - See all my reviews
You know, one of the old wives' tales that they used to use to determine if someone were a witch was to toss them into a lake. If they floated, Bingo! a witch, at which time they were promptly hauled out and hanged. Well, the famous mutineers of the HMS Bounty did what amounted to the same thing with overthrown Captain Bligh and his supporters, setting them afloat in a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean over a thousand miles from land, with only a compass. That should've been the end of him, they figured. Imagine what they felt when, all that time later, an English ship came looking for them at Tahiti, captained by none other than Bligh himself. He might have been a reprehensible man, but he sure was one heck of a navigator, successfully directing that rowboat to port.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and probably that real-life fact about Bligh's rounding up his own mutineers is what has given such juice to this story for two hundred years, at one point inspiring this MGM movie.
Here, we have Charles Laughton doing the role of his career, causing him even to be immortalized in a Bugs Bunny cartoon--how more recognizable can you get? His Bligh is nasty alright, even ordering that a dead guy be flogged, to finish out his punishment. Clark Gable is first mate/mutineer ringleader Fletcher Christian. He starts out impressing men into service, but after being afloat with Bligh for a couple of months, even he can't take it anymore and goes over to the men's side in the argument over why breadfruit trees are more entitled to water than thirsty seamen.
I had long looked forward to renting this movie, as it has such a legendary status among films. However, sorry to say that I thought it a bit draggy here and there, which impeded my being able to enjoy it to the fullest, and hence the four star rating.
That being said, though, I suppose words cannot convey how great Laughton is, and how interesting to see Gable do a morph from gray hat to white hat.
Grab your canteen and clamber on board to check out this classic.

Pesticide makes bees forget the scent for food, new study finds
2013 03 28
By Damian Carrington |
The Guardian
Neocotinoids block part of brain bees use for learning, leaving them unable to make link between floral scents and nectar
Widely used pesticides have been found in new research to block a part of the brain that bees use for learning, rendering some of them unable to perform the essential task of associating scents with food. Bees exposed to two kinds of pesticide were slower to learn or completely forgot links between floral scents and nectar.
These effects could make it harder for bees to forage among flowers for food, thereby threatening their survival and reducing the pollination of crops and wild plants.
The findings add to existing research that neonicotinoid pesticides are contributing to the decline in bee populations.
It has also been revealed that a separate government field study on the impact of the pesticides on bees was seriously compromised by contamination because the chemicals are so widespread in the environment.
The government put the field study at the heart of the UKs resistance to a Europe-wide ban on the controversial pesticides earlier this month. The UK was one of nine out of 27 member states that opposed suspending some uses of the insecticides across the EU, after environment secretary Owen Paterson said, "I have asked the EC to wait for the results of our field trials, rather than rushing to a decision". On Wednesday, his department said more field research was needed.
The new findings on the effect of pesticides on bee brains showed that within 20 minutes of exposure to neonicotinoids the neurons in the major learning centre of the brain stopped firing. Christopher Connolly at the University of Dundee, who led the peer-reviewed work published in the online journal Nature Communications, said it was the first to show the pesticides had a direct impact on pollinator brain physiology.

November 21, 2014
Denver (AP) - Cleanup is under way after a large mudslide toppled dozens of Aspen trees and enveloped a vehicle maintenance shop at the Buttermilk Ski Area in Pitkin County.
The slide was 60 feet wide and 100 feet long.
Aspen Skiing Co. Spokesman Jeff Hanle says no one was inside the maintenance shop and no one was injured as the mud came down the hill over a two-hour period Monday afternoon.
The Denver Post reports that the slide ruptured an oil tank at the shop, but the ensuing spill was contained to an adjacent parking lot.
The cost of the damage wasn't immediately known.
Hanle says geologists will determine what caused the slide but spring snowmelt is suspected.

Andover High School (formerly Punchard High School) is a high school in the town of Andover, Massachusetts. As of October 2010, Andover High's Principal is Dr. Chris Lord; its Assistant Principals are Marilyn Jordan, Mark Seide, and Luz Valverde.[2] The school is located at 80 Shawsheen Road, Andover, Massachusetts.
The school building[edit]
The school has a Media Center/Library located in the center of the school and a cafeteria located toward the north-west side of the school. AHS also has a "Field House" and a "Dunn Gymnasium." The former is a large room that is used for indoor track, and it is used for other Physical Education classes and for voting as well. It was added on to the school after its initial construction. The latter is a normal, wood-floored, gymnasium that also holds Phys-Ed classes, but it has a separated weight-room/physical exercise room toward the far end.
The Collins Center (named after J. Everett Collins, a local choir conductor who worked at AHS for many years) serves as the school's theatre. Built in 1983, the Collins Center is separated from the rest of the school, annexed to one end of the high school opposite the field house. The AHS Band, Choral, Drama, and Orchestra Departments are housed here. The Collins Center is home to the marching band, concert band, all-town orchestra, concert choir, chamber choir, show choir, and drama guild. Some of the many productions that have taken place at the Collins Center by the highly talented AHS Drama Guild include Rent: School Edition (2010), The Farnsworth Invention (2010), Sound of Music (2009), Brighton Beach Memoirs (2009), A Chorus Line (2008), and Titanic: The Musical (2007).
Student life[edit]
Andover High School offers a variety of activities for students. There are over 60 clubs that meet after school ranging from dance to UNICEF, Amigos Unidos to academic clubs. It is also easy to start a new club as long as there are people who want to join it and a faculty advisor to oversee it.
Sports are also offered at AHS for both men and women. Offered year round, the sports vary from Track and Field to Swimming and Diving as well as Volleyball and much more. The teams compete in the Merrimack Valley Conference. The teams are styled as the Golden Warriors, and the mascot is a golden eagle. Andover school colors are navy blue and gold. The Girls Basketball team just won their third State Championship in a row, "three-peat". The Andover boys basketball team was involved in a sexually explicit hazing scandal in November 2011.[3]
Andover High School, as of the 2012–2013 school year, has a population of 1,799 students in grades 9 through 12.[4]
As a reflection of the town of Andover, the racial distribution of the school is:[5]
- White – 80.0%
- Asian – 11.7%
- Hispanic – 4.1%
- African American – 1.7%
- American Indian/Alaskan Native - 0.1%
- Pacific Islander - 0.1%
- Multi-Racial - 2.3%
(Data from Massachusetts state department of education) There are a total of 132 full-time teachers on staff, creating a student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1.[citation needed]

Job fair planned to help Plywood employeesSeptember 03,2014Job fair targets
Plywood workers
A job fair organized to help some of the 170 displaced Rutland Plywood employees will be held Friday at the Holiday Inn in Rutland Town.
From noon to 3 p.m. at the conference center, roughly 20 employers from around the region will have information and applications available for about 100 full-time, part-time and temporary job positions, said Wendy Morse, regional manager of the Department of Labor.
The 70 full-time and 100 part-time and temporary employees at Rutland Plywood all lost jobs Aug. 21 when fire leveled the 84,000-square-foot plant in Rutland Town.
Rutland Plywood officials havent decided whether they will rebuild but officials have said even if the company does rebuild, it might be two years before a new plant is complete.
Normally, the Department of Labor hosts two job fairs a year in May and October, Morse said. But the fire and large-scale job loss have prompted the agency to add a third hiring session.
Morse said the companies hiring at the job fair represent a diverse cross-section of construction, manufacturing, health care and service industry businesses.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

Film Review: Frankenstein's Army (2013)
SYNOPSIS: Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein's work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades — a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.

Ron Paul's Big DayWritten by Michael Tennant
Will Tuesday be Ron Paul's big day? Robert Wenzel of EconomicPolicyJournal.com thinks so, as does Paul confidant Lew Rockwell. On December 7 the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives is scheduled to announce the chairmen of various committees and subcommittees, including the Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, of which the Texas congressman is currently the ranking Republican member.
Americans have heard politicians talking a great deal about cutting spending, reducing the deficit, and employing a mentality of fiscal conservatism. But just how serious are they about it when they maintain loyalties to their constituents that are diametrically opposed to fiscal conservatism?
Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations, is like a 500-pound canary: When it speaks, people listen. Gary North referred to the article in the November-December 2010 issue entitled "American Profligacy and American Power" as "a turning point … the first official announcement … that the Federal deficit is out of control … which threatens the survival of America's position as the world's most influential political-military participant."
The GOP opposition to extending the Bush era tax cuts solely to the middle class has been adamant, and may lead to a compromise that would allow a tax cut extension for all Americans.
Ethanol Subsidies May be ExtendedWritten by Raven Clabough
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus proposed a "tax extenders package" on December 2 that pertains to a slew of energy issues, including an extension of ethanol subsidies, as well as a continuation of benefits for those who produce biodiesel, natural gas vehicles, and energy-efficient products and appliances for the home.

Reading for the Pleasure of Purpose
An agent friend of mine told me long ago that the best way to learn how to write well was to "read well" – meaning read quality stories, books, perhaps even recipes with nutritious ingredients rather than artificial additives.

The Pleasures of Philosophy
So, when I wrote on reading drama, I was perhaps too optimistic. When I said that drama is a break from prose fiction and that it can be read more quickly, I didn't take into account that drama, like, I suppose, all genres, can get repetitive. I made the mistake of reading only one author, a volume of six plays by Ibsen; they're brilliant, but once you read one play about boring middle-class life, your first response is rarely to go out...Read More

"wonderful sunshine, home from home"
We stayed with 3 teenage daughters and various selections of our/their friends for 7 weeks! it was a wonderful trip and we remember it all so fondly. We rented the villa and attached guest house for the duration. There was so much to do locally without having to travel for more than 45 minutes in any direction, and despite our long stay we still didn't see everything. We all got to know the local restaurants and market stall owners in Figanieres and the local villages, picked figs and made jam, spent days on the beach in St Maxime and on the islands, swimming and boating in the lake and rarely felt anything other than totally relaxed and at home in this warm hospitable corner of Provence.
The villa is presented as a home, as far removed from 'rental property' as possible, with so much more in facilities, equipment and comfort than we could use. The photographs do not do it justice. Philip and Ann are so welcoming, and made every effort to ensure our stay was delightful, including providing access to their wonderful Amandine the housekeeper, who speaks excellent English and on whom we had to rely to translate boat repair terms into French for the St Maxime Marina!
It was a wonderful experience, and education for our children and their friends, and we are looking forward to returning soon.

"It really doesn't get any bettter than this!"
Lovely house, with all mod cons in a great part of Provence Great pool and a large garden and plenty to see and do in the region ( or not, if you feel like doing nothing!) We've been coming here for 8 years now, and would find it very difficult to think of a holiday other than in Le Clos. It has become the yardstick by which all holiday accomodation is measured.

Spirituality and Healing: How Your Belief System Affects Your Well-Being
The Rev. Cynthia A. Frado
Your personal cosmology (theist, humanist, agnostic, earth-based) is only half your belief system. The other, more important half is your spiritual side – what you believe about yourself. What you believe matters! Come to learn more, and to consider steps you might take toward change and self- empowerment.
