The new ground meat mixture, which sells for $6 a pound or $20 for a four-pack, is the impetus of Jason Yates, the same Novy Ranches representative whom we talked to about eyeballs and other "off" cuts last time we spoke (the ranch's owner, veterinarian Lowell Novy, is more of a steak sort of guy).
"I'm the only organ guy in the company," Yates said rather fervently as he handed over a pack for a side-by-side color comparison to the ground beef (organ meet is a deeper burgundy).
For someone trying to convince Americans it's time to cultivate their offal palates, Yates is refreshingly honest about the fate of much of the organ meat in this country, even pricier grass-fed beef. "Most everyone else in the [cattle] industry here focuses on organ meat for animal feed, and Dr. Novy is a vet, so organ meat is really easy for us to get rid of," he says. "But I love the stuff. There's one other grass-fed [rancher] doing ground organ meat that I know of, but I think that's it."Yates' bipedal customers seem to agree. Though he has focused trial sales on individuals at farmers markets, not restaurant chefs, he has already sold 300 pounds of organ meat in less than two months. "You can use it for anything -- burgers, chili, tacos, anything you'd use ground beef in -- it just has a [more pronounced] flavor," he says between customer steak sales.
Yates says he came up with the current kidney-heart-tongue combo after experimenting with various proportions of each organ. The ground meat blend he currently has in stock is an equal blend of each, but with the next batch, he's planning to tweak the formula. "I'm going to try it without kidney -- it's got a pretty strong flavor."
He smiles and adds that he hasn't "sold a single whole beef heart in over a month" thanks to the positive response to the ground combo version. For a guy who, until now, was trying to convince Brentwood moms to make his favorite version of beef heart tacos (after trimming, simmer the heart slowly in beef broth for 12 to 14 hours, slice and grill on medium-high heat for a few minutes to get a nice color), that's a substantial ground organ burger devotional statement.
Novy Ranches' ground organ meat is available online and at the Brentwood Farmers Market on Sundays.

Varlaam Monastery, also known as Barlaam Monastery in the Meteora is
named in honor of the monk who first built the tiny chapel on this rocky
promontory in the 14th century. The monastery, still occupied today,
features an elegant church with 16th-century frescoes by a well-known
iconographer and other notable buildings.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In 1350, an ascetic monk named Varlaam climbed the rock and settled at the top. Varlaam built three churches, a cell and a water tank. After his death, the site was abandoned.
The buildings fell into ruin for almost 200 years until 1517, when the priest-monks Theophanes and Nektarios Apsarades from Ioanina, climbed the rock and founded a monastery. The two priest-monks, according to legend had to drive away the monster that lived in a cave on the summit before they could settle in.
The brothers renovated Varlaam's church of the Three Hierarchs, erected the tower, and built a katholikon dedicated to All Saints. Ropes, pulleys and baskets were all used to lift materials to build on the top of the rock. After all the material was lifted to the location after 22 long years, the construction work took only 20 days.
Varlaam Monastery was occupied by monks, about 35 at a time throughout the 16th century and into the early 17th century. The monastery then suffered a decline. Steps were first carved into the rock in the early 19th century and have been altered several times since.
Varlaam Monastery is currently occupied by seven monks and can be accessed by a narrow bridge that runs from the main road. There is a pleasant garden in the compound, where a monk sometimes sits and chats with visitors.
The Late Byzantine katholikon of Varlaam has a cross-in-square plan with a west narthex, with a dome in each section. The frescoes in the main church were painted by the celebrated iconographer Frangos Katelanos of Thebes in 1548. The narthex was frescoed in 1566 by the brothers George and Frangos Kondares of Thebes.
Located north of the katholikon is the small "Parekklesion of the Three," an aisle-less chapel dedicated to the three great bishops St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, and St. John Chrysostom. Built by Varlaam around 1350, it was repaired by the founders in 1520, renovated in 1627 and decorated with frescoes in 1637.
The tower contains the old windlass and rope basket which was used to transport monks and supplies to the monastery. When asked how often the rope was replaced, a 19th-century abbot famously replied, "Only when it breaks." It was used as recently as 1961-63, when the refectory was renovated into a museum of religious artifacts.
The monastery's museum displays a fine collection of relics, carved wooden crosses, icons, embroidered epitaphoi and many other ecclesiastical treasures. Varlaam also possesses over 300 religious manuscripts copied by monks, some of which are displayed in the sacristy.
The monastic kitchen is an elegant vaulted structure with an octagonal dome leading to a chimney. The original water barrel, which can hold 12 tons of rainwater, is on display in a storeroom.

Al Madriqal is hilarious, a great story-teller who relates to many of life's expected, and unexpected, situations. He's almost like one of those movies you need to see twice because you are sure you've missed something during the performance.
We would definitely seek him out and attend a show again. Jay I.

And he wants a bailout of sorts for states: "I propose that we should get help from the federal government, if we can -- again, also, like the car manufacturers -- can prove that we have a fiscal housing order, and that we can solve our problems ourselves. But give us in this emergency kind of a situation or in this crisis, some additional money," Schwarzenegger said.
Might this help move it? (Probably not.) "Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said lawmakers will attach several conditions for Detroit automakers in return for $25 billion in federal aid," per The Hill's Alexander Bolton. "Frank said Sunday that automakers will be required to submit to Congress their plans for future economic viability and environmental efficiency."
What else does Obama get to inherit? "With coordination between leading economies effectively on hold during the American presidential transition, little was accomplished at the much-hyped summit of world leaders over the weekend besides passing the buck to incoming president Barack Obama," Politico's Victoria McGrane reports. "The Group of 20 will reconvene on April 30, Obama's 101st day in office. With the economic landscape giving way underfoot, the new president will have little time to fashion the policies that may well determine the success of his presidency."
You think? "The wave of bad economic news that helped carry Barack Obama to an election victory this month now threatens to swamp his presidency even before he takes the oath of office Jan. 20," Peter G. Gosselin writes in the Los Angeles Times. "As the Democratic president-elect scrambles to assemble an economic team, the crisis that at first seemed confined to Wall Street and the nation's financial markets has been raging through Main Street and the regular economy of labor, goods and services."
Over on the GOP side, Mike Huckabee's book is out Tuesday -- and he names names. Time's Michael Scherer: "Mitt Romney, Huckabee's principle rival in Iowa, comes in for the roughest treatment. Huckabee writes that the former Massachusetts Governor's record was 'anything but conservative until he changed the light bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for president.' . . . He mocks Romney for suggesting, during one debate, more investment in high-yield stocks as a solution to economic woes. 'Let them eat stocks!' Huckabee jokes."
Also: "Fred Thompson never did grasp the dynamics of the race or the country, and his amazingly lackluster campaign reflected just how disconnected he was with the people, despite the anticipation and expectation that greeted his candidacy," Huckabee writes.
Scherer continues: "Huckabee writes of Gary Bauer, the conservative Christian leader and former presidential candidate, as having an 'ever-changing reason to deny me his support.' . . . He calls out Pat Robertson, the Virginia-based televangelist, and Dr. Bob Jones III, chancellor of Bob Jones University in South Carolina, for endorsing Rudy Giuliani and Romney, respectively. He also has words for the Texas-based Rev. John Hagee, who endorsed the more moderate John McCain in the primaries, as someone who was drawn to the eventual Republican nominee because of the lure of power."

Just some theorycrafting here, but it is my personal opinion she should be built like a tanky dps/as autoattacker. Her skills encourage closing with the enemy, giving her significant speed getting into range, then booting them out of harass range/tumbling behind them and booting them toward allies. You also have an ability that does a passive percentage of their health as true damage. If this is so, then you would want to utilize this to the maximum, grabbing AS/Tanky items, such as Wit's End, Zeal, Youmuu's, or Triforce.
Seeing as how her abilities encourage getting into range and hitting them with DPS, she has evasion methods after she closes. If her knockback has lower than a 15 or so second cooldown, depending on how decent it is, it's both a cc and a reposition. So, why not abuse her and utilize these abilities in a ranged/tank sort of manner.
Why do this when you could build her DPS carry? You generally build Nocturne as a tanky dps because he has a damage boosters and an AS booster to better utilize his passive and his skill-based damage boosters. When a carry has a passive damage booster, you want to build them tankier because they can afford to. (Teemo utilizes this, Olaf does, Nasus does, Xin Zhao does.) In contrast, carries with AS boosters generally build DPS in order to enhance their AS steroid. DPS items that offer tankiness are far fewer, and they get more out of their AS steroid with an IE/Black Cleaver/etc.
I propose that she's built with items like these:
Wriggle's Lantern
Youmuu's Ghostblade
Atma's Impaler
Wit's End (especially with the sexy new one)
Banshee's Veil
and so on. Not particularly those items as core or anything. If anything, I'll probably build her sheen into triforce into wit's end into banshee's veil/atmas.
Just a proposition to keep in mind, I quite think a tanky Vayne would work very well, especially depending on her stats/ability damage.
Triforce is obviously the core here, and rightly so. The slow and MS combined with the proc on the low cooldown roll, her passive, and any summoners you might have mean that you'd be extremely good for picks.
Youmuu's might be a bit excessive, given her already notable MS boosts and the AS that her other abilities give in the first place. Possible build from avarice blade, if she gets shut down in the laning phase.
The biggest problem I see for Vayne is getting CC'd in teamfights (as with any carry). But the new Tenacity stat could definitely benefit her with the Cloak and Dagger, if needed. Banshee's would help with this as well.
I think I'm gonna run triforce, bloodthirster, banshees, (not sure which boots prolly mercs), phantom dancer, and Last whisper
phantom dancer to get the W going.
I'm leaning towards a crit build + Sheen. Tumble for the extra damage to amplify that crit. Even better that it resets the auto-attack so you can double crit.
Im playing her as a critplank. It's hilariously fun
She can be other AD or Crit and be viable. As long as she has some sort of movement speed boost item (IE Trinity/Swiftness/PD). Her escape and mobility are what make her dangerous. Gonna try Trinity/PD/IE combo and just see the fun.
Probably gonna build her similar to teemo's build.
Her range is pretty short for a ranged carry, so I probably gonna need some defensive item.
Either get Triforce, one AS item and go for tanky items, or don't go Triforce at all and get two or three AS items and go tanky.
I don't think crit's that good since none of the skill works well with crit. In fact, if you build her around crit, you'd be too squishy.
Just not sure if bonus damage from sheen proc is more than getting another AS item and aim for W damage.
Either way, glass cannon would be bad idea even with survivability from Q and E, just 'cause her range is so short and easy to be cc'ed
Edit: Actually, with such short CD on her Q, I think it might be better go AD and go tanky. you won't need much AS I think since her Q resets autoattack anyway
with IE BT and triforce, i was critting for like 1.1k

For more information about how the teachers will use the funds, please read more below! Additional information on the MAC grants program can be found using the following link: http://www.mcstate.com/images/operators/1000002637/grantapponline.pdf
The Arcanum Area Business Association is sponsoring holiday events in the month of December. Please click on "View All" below for more information.
Congratulations to our Fall Sports Teams, Coaches, and Athletes for a very successful season! We had 100 high school and middle school student athletes competing this fall which led to many team and individual wins, honors, awards and enjoyable moments. Thank you Trojan Fans for support throughout the season. We look forward to continued success and support this winter! Please read below for team records, conference finishes and individual honors.
Conner Pohl picked up another accolade last week as he was selected as the Daily Advocate Boys Golfer of the Year. Conner was a critical piece to the success of the boy's golf team this year that finished 19-3. Conner finished 1st in the CCC Tournament and also qualified for the District golf tournament.
The fall edition of the District Insight Newsletter was sent with the Early Bird on 10/16/14. If you missed it, you can find a copy using the Quick Link "Superintendent's Message" on our website.
Recently, the Arcanum Early Learning Center received an $800 grant from the Ruth Elaine Furlong Fund of the Darke County Foundation.
This fund was established by Keith and Carolyn Furlong of Arcanum in memory of Keith's sister, Ruth Elaine Furlong, who died in 1967 when she was 16. Every year, Keith and Carolyn select one or more organizations to receive a grant from the fund, and this year they selected Arcanum Early Learning Center.
The district would like to thank the Furlongs and the Darke County Foundation for their continued support and generosity. Thank you also to preschool teacher Mrs. Erin Fout for completing the application. The grant will be used to purchase indoor/outdoor equipment to enhance the active learning experience.
This fall, Arcanum Butler Local Schools placed brand new athletic record boards in the school. These record boards were made possible because of the very generous donation from Greenville Federal. Greenville Federal, home of the Money$aver Mortgage, is the oldest bank headquartered in Darke County. This monetary donation demonstrates Greenville Federal's pride in being a true local community bank calling Darke County its headquarters and home for the past 131 years. Investing back to local communities has long been a trademark of Greenville Federal and with this donation, Arcanum students, parents, and alumni will be able see some of the great athletic accomplishments of their student athletes.

For the 2014-2015 school year, the Arcanum-Butler Local School District will continue to use calamity days as they have in the past in the event of school cancellations. Some Ohio school districts changed from a minimum number of days to the new minimum number of hours of required attendance for students. However, the change from days to hours does not apply to collective bargaining agreements executed prior to July 1, 2014, as is the case with our school district. The district will utilize 5 calamity days and will use make-up days and blizzard bag days as needed.
Arcanum-Butler was just 1 out of 3 districts in all of Darke, Montgomery, Miami, Preble and Mercer County to receive all A's and B's on recently released report card measures.
Just as every school building sends home a report card to tell you how well your child is learning, our school district and buildings also receive a Local Report Card each year from the Ohio Department of Education. The Ohio Department of Education recently released report cards for Ohio's School Districts. This is the second year of the new report card which is intended to give you a clearer picture of how our district and buildings are performing. Previous report cards used superlatives such as "Excellent" or "Continuous Improvement" to describe the performance of schools. The newer reporting system uses letter grades A-F to grade various measures under six broad categories: Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, Graduation Rate, K-3 Literacy and Prepared for Success.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
RMTC's attempts to create realistic stage vomit resulted in an embarrassment of retches
Theatre officials across North America get a queasy feeling in their stomachs when contemplating how to stage God of Carnage, Yasmina Reza's raucous comedy of manners without the manners.
It happens when they get to the scene where Annette, who has literally been made sick by her husband's behaviour, throws up all over her hosts' rare art books, their carpet and her spouse.
But it's not any old cookie-toss. In her script, Reza specifies "a brutal and catastrophic spray of vomit."
It a crucial scene where the bile between two couples who fight over an altercation between their sons begins literally to spill out. Reza doesn't tell theatres how to accomplish a special effect like projectile vomiting. Since producers on Broadway kept secret how they did it, regional theatres all over the continent have been trading tips over the past two years on the art of the barf.
"This is a strange business we work in," says Miles Potter, director of the current Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre production of God of Carnage. "Here we have all this high-end talent and experience and I'm saying, 'Fill the vomit thing again for another puking run. Will someone clean up the vomit?'"
The search for an upchuck machine began with the Seattle Repertory Theatre, which hosted the first Carnage production after its Broadway run closed in 2010. The company conducted extensive testing in search of a "surreal spray" and came up with a system powered by compressed air that sends a concoction of powdered split pea soup through a hose that runs up the back of the actress playing Annette and down to her wrist.
RMTC spent months early this year in trial and error -- trying to gauge the velocity so the spurting fountain, which occasionally hit the front row, has the right spray, as well as fine-tuning the colour and consistency of the phoney puke. Staff fashioned their own version, dubbed the Vominator 3000. It was a complex mechanism like the Broadway version, which had conked out once. Potter feared a vomit malfunction.
RMTC opted to go low-tech, using a hot water bottle fixed with a valve hidden inside a sofa cushion. Annette would pick up the cushion while seated on the sofa and basically give it the Heimlich maneuver to power a body-racking wave of puke. It was nicknamed the vomillow.
"We wanted the actress to have complete control," says Laura Lindeblom, RMTC's assistant production manager. "They found the pillow the best way to do it. She picks up the pillow and grabs her stomach, but she is really reaching in and opening the valve."
Potter cast a retching rookie in Vickie Papavs, who accepted the part knowing she had a weak gag reflex that might mean she didn't need to simulate spilling her guts. The smell made her particularly nauseated, but after two weeks she could execute a graphic and realistic hurl.
"I'm very proud of my vomiting," says Papavs this week. "I get a good spray. I get good velocity. And I get a good sound."
She was so convincing, a RMTC patron recently ran out of the theatre to tell staff that one of the actors was sick and throwing up onstage, and then complained that she shouldn't have been made to work when she was so ill.
Not all of the performances were so easy to stomach.
"There was one show in which the hot water bottle tipped back and all of the vomit went down the front of my dress and ran into my shoe and my foot was swimming in vomit," Papavs says. "To get the extra laugh, I poured it out of my shoe. That's my lasting memory of God of Carnage."
Perfecting the stage vomit was a rare bonding experience for the various RMTC departments.
"It was really fun," says Lindeblom, in her fourth season with the organization. "The brilliant thing was that no one person was able to take this project from beginning to end. There was a lot of cross-departmental work. Barf brought us all together."

The shores of the lake have been rising over the last few years. Where there were once lakeside paths, trees and jetties, the paths and trees are now submerged and jetties rebuilt a level higher. The properties which originally had the best shoreside locations now find their ground floors flooded. The water levels will continue to rise as the lake which is fed by the surrounding mountains has no escape point.

Ph. me
We can't deny it any longer: fall has begun and it's in full swing. Love being able to crawl up in the largest knits I have with a blanket and cup of hot choco, but can't stand the rain and wind when I have to get outside. Talking about going outside: yesterday I had my weekly running training (incl my new and totally awesome reflective running tights, go get them here) and after a few kilometers it started raining, hailstones followed (I kid you not: hailstones as large as sugar cubes on your head aren't the best feeling in the world) and heavy thunder stormes forced us to end our training. A pity, but at least we logged another 5k in these miserable circumstances.
About the rest of my week: I went to the hairdresser's, attended the coolest brand launch in ages (on the 18th floor, well done, every.day.counts!), rocked my pretty new Hope boots, rekindled my love for gardening with this Nike Air Max 1 tree at work (kidding, no green fingers here) and wore this denim jacket while I still could.
How has your week been so far? Don't forget to follow @sffte on Instagram ;)
My week in instagram pics. I've been working a lot, but besides that, I cleaned out my closet (hope to find some time to put a lot of the things I want to get rid off on my Tictail soon, stay tuned), did a lot of online windowshopping (as in: ended up buying absolutely nothing) and wore my new ripped jeans 3 days in a row. That's how bad ass I am.
Oh, did you know Mango is having an amazing sale going on right now? 30% off of EVERYTHING. Add code 5WEEKEND9 at checkout to get your discount HERE. Only today, so hurry up!
Enjoy your Sundays, lovelies!
This week has been such a busy one, I didn't even take that many pictures with my phone (while I usually take pics of literally everyhting..). This week's instadiary consists highlights my current mood in such a good way: I'm so happy I found a certain path in life (sounds more pensive than it actually is) by taking the right step. Or better: that someone helped me taking that step. Talking about my job in here. Combining both blogging and working in an office for 40 hours doesn't even bother me since I love doing both so much. True bliss, I might say.
On another note: don't you just love my pearly, shiny new kicks? Yup. Me too. Cheers to the weekend, enjoy your Sundays and don't forget to follow me on Instagram (@sffte) for more of my personal snapshots (like shoes. And more shoes).
Sweden. A country in some odd way I always felt connected to, but somehow I never visited it. Even though Stockholm is high up my bucketlist, we ended up exploring the countryside of this beautiful country and explored what the Swedes have to offer besides their amazing sense of style. Au contraire, we spend a few days in which we couldn't care less about our looks, the latest updates and other superficial matters – they somehow turned out to be less important. We stepped back from all of it for once and I have to admit it felt so nice. We relaxed, hiked, plucked berries and most of all: got overwhelmed by the captivating beauty of everything that the Swedish nature had to offer. I can truly say that stepping back in this case became a move forward.

What did you learn from the Curly Girl Challenge?
I have always struggled with my 'hair identity'. Of course, I wanted it to be straight, exactly the opposite of what I have. The easiest way to say it is that through the Curly Girl Challenge, I have learned to embrace and love my hair for what it is. My first trip to the Deva Chan salon literally changed the way I feel about myself and my hair- I had no idea what it was capable of until I was in the hands of Rosie, a fabulous Deva Chan stylist. I am now a true devotee to the Curly Girl way.
How has it changed your hair?
My hair is much stronger, healthier, and most importantly, more fun!

Shares of communications and server chip maker Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC), are down 58 cents, or 8.4%, at $6.30, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue that fell short of analysts' expectations, and a deeper-than-expected net loss.
Revenue in the three months ended in September fell 26%, year over year, to $40.95 billion, yielding a net loss of 6 cents per share, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $43.9 million and a 2-cent loss per share.
CEO Paramesh Gopi said that after "a very robust June quarter, our Connectivity business was impacted by weak service provider order patterns."
"We view this difficult environment as transitory," he continued, adding "We are very pleased with our ARM 64-bit processor success with strong sequential X-GeneTM revenue growth and our HeliXTM family product launch."
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is apparently not done right-sizing itself.
The Wall Street Journal's Rick Carew and Dana Mattioli this evening report the company is looking to sell its networking business in China and is talking to private equity firms about the matter, citing multiple unnamed sources. The reported asking price is $5 billion.
HP's China network equipment division came out of the November, 2009 purchase of 3Com (completed the following April) for $2.68 billion, under CEO at the time Mark Hurd.
Back then, the deal was meant as a way to get HP a bigger presence in China, particularly to do battle against Cisco Systems (CSCO), and to help 3Com sell outside the Chinese market.
A recent report by networking by research firm Dell'Oro showed that in Q2, Hewlett-Packard's ethernet switch revenue share in China was about a third of the market, followed by privately held Huawei, and ZTE (0763HK). HP had 20% of the Asia-Pacific market, Dell'Oro reported, the only vendor to crack that big a slice outside of Cisco, which has north of 60%.
Shares of telecom equipment vendor Ericsson (ERIC) are down 36 cents, or 3%, at $11.45, after the company this morning reported Q3 revenue and that topped analysts' expectations, but missed on the bottom line.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 9%, year over year, to 56.64 billion Swedish Krona ($7.9 billion), yielding EPS of 1.11 Krona per ordinary share traded in Stockholm (ERICB).
Analysts had been modeling 55.96 billion and 1.21 Krona per share.
Ericsson said sales growth came mainly from the Middle East, China, India, and Russia, while it saw sales fall in North America.
Among the first Street notes out today, Mark Sue with RBC Capital Markets reiterates an Outperform rating, but trims his price target to $15 from $14 on the ADRs, writing that the company is "in the woods … and walking in circles," his way of characterizing the company's struggle to maintain profit:
Gross margins decreased QoQ to 35.5% n 3Q14 (vs. 36.6% in 2Q14) due to mix with fewer capacity adds vs. coverage, but higher IPR contribution. Operating margins were 8.3% vs. 8.5% in 2Q14 with IPR revenues weighed by modem/Mediaroom expenses. Networks operating margins were 11%, vs. 12% in 2Q14, but higher than 10% in 3Q13. Services contract completions, network roll-outs and lower than expected capacity mix may weigh on Ericsson's gross margins exiting the year. Ericsson used (SEK1.4B) in cash for operations in the September quarter due to working capital changes related to contract execution and higher inventory build-up. The company has net-cash of SEK29.4B.
Mike Walkley with Canaccord Genuity reiterates a Hold rating, and a $13 price target, though he actually thinks Ericsson will see better times from both a sales and margin perspective beyond the current slump:
Gross margins decreased QoQ to 35.5% n 3Q14 (vs. 36.6% in 2Q14) due to mix with fewer capacity adds vs. coverage, but higher IPR contribution. Operating margins were 8.3% vs. 8.5% in 2Q14 with IPR revenues weighed by modem/Mediaroom expenses. Networks operating margins were 11%, vs. 12% in 2Q14, but higher than 10% in 3Q13. Services contract completions, network roll-outs and lower than expected capacity mix may weigh on Ericsson's gross margins exiting the year. Ericsson used (SEK1.4B) in cash for operations in the September quarter due to working capital changes related to contract execution and higher inventory build-up. The company has net-cash of SEK29.4B.
Networking equipment vendor Juniper Networks (JNPR) this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue earnings per share in line with expectations, but forecast Q4 below expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended in September fell 8% to $1.13 billion, yielding EPS of 36 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $1.13 billion and 35 cents per share.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $1.025 billion to $1.075 billion, and EPS of 28 cents to 32 cents. That compares to consensus of $1.17 billion and 40 cents per share.
The company said its board of directors authorized an increase in the company's capital return program of buybacks and dividends in the amount of $1.1 billion, on top of the existing commitment of $3 billion in repurchases.
Update: Juniper shares reversed earlier losses, rising 18 cents, or 0.9%, to $20.50, in late trading.
Correction: A prior version of this post stated Juniper missed Q3 revenue expectations, when in fact the revenue number of $1.13 billion was exactly in line with the Street consensus. My apologies for any confusion caused by the error.
Shares of Nokia (NOK) are up 41 cents, or almost 6%, at $8.35, continuing pre-market gains, after the company this morning beat Q3 expectations, and raised its profit outlook.
Revenue in the three months ended in September 41%, year over year, to €3.32 billion, yielding €0.09 per share.
Analysts had been modeling €3 billion and €0.07 per share.
Profit, excluding some costs, almost quintupled to €760 million.
Nokia said its "Networks" business unit had 13% revenue growth, to €2.9 billion. The company said the results showed its "strong position in a world where technology is undergoing significant change."
The company noted several positive factors in the networks business:
Performance at Nokia Networks was particularly satisfying, with both growth and improved profitability. Progress was widespread, with four of our six regions increasing sales; Mobile Broadband sales and profitability were up sharply; Global Services delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of double digit profitability; and I was pleased to see a rebound in Europe driven by our robust deal momentum. That said, I also want to be clear that Networks benefited from some unique developments in the quarter, with a business mix weighted towards Mobile Broadband and regional mix that included strong gains in North Ameri
Nokia said the network unit's operating profit margin this year is now expected to rise above 11%, better than the company's targeted range of 5% to 10%. The company also raised its capital spending forecast to €250 million for the year, up from €200 million expected previously.
Wells Fargo's Maynard Um reiterates a Market Perform rating on the stock and a valuation range of $8 to $8.80, writing that "Networks drove the surprise to the upside with HERE and Technologies slightly below expectations [...] Sales were driven primarily due to major new LTE deployments in North America and China."
Adnaan Ahmed of Berenberg reiterates a Buy rating, and an €8.40 price target on the ordinary shares (NOK1V), writing that "The key to the Nokia investment case is that its Networks margins do not fall off a cliff."
He tells investors to expect minimal growth next year, on constrained capital spending by carriers:
For all of last year and this year (with today's guidance), Nokia's Networks business has been able to sustain 10%+ margins. We think this should continue for the next 12-18 months, as long as telco spend does not precipitously decline. Obviously, a major worry in the market right now is that US spend has peaked, as has China's, and – outside of Vodafone – in Europe spend is muted. We agree with most of these assertions. We think Nokia's Networks business will grow at a 3% clip next year. It will continue to benefit from Vodafone and some of the recent wins it has had in Europe. In the US, it has hardly any exposure to AT&T and Verizon. Sprint and T-Mobile are its major customers and T-Mobile is now starting to deploy LTE-advanced, which should be good for revenues and margins.
Shares of fiber optic networking company Infinera (INFN) were up $1.19, or 11%, at $11.80, in late trading, after the company this afternoon beat Q3 expectations and forecast year results higher as well.
The company competes primarily with Ciena (CIEN), Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), and China's Huawei in a portion of the telecom market known as "long-haul," the big transport pipes that ship bits across nationwide carrier networks at the highest speeds.
Sprinting from the quarter's results, CEO Tom Fallon was kind enough to pay a call this evening. Fallon came to Infinera around 2004 after several years at Cisco Systems (CSCO ). He replaced CEO Jagdeep Singh in 2010.
Given that Fallon oversaw lots of acquisitions by Cisco of optical companies in the DotCom era — the $7 billion purchase of Cerent being the most prominent — and given he started out as head of engineering at Infinera, he speaks about optical like a man possessed.
"I think the things that are finally going on in software-defined networking and network function virtualization means we are finally ready for the promise of optical," he says, when I point out how many promising optical startups went bust after 2000 — Corvis, PhotonEx, Sycamore — the list is long of promising technology that flamed out.
"Optical was not economical in many cases," he says. Things like "lambda switching" — doing all the network mux and demux inside of optical waveguides — was a pipe dream. Infinera has a device that merges optics and electronics for a more cost-effective way to structure network connections of 10 gigabits to 100 gigabits per second.
The focus for the moment is something called "Cloud Xpress," a piece of transport equipment that can provide 21 terabytes of transport capacity in a single system. Fallon contends it's built for a cloud computing age, when lots of connections from the Internet of Things will transit through multiple cloud data centers, requiring massive bandwidth.
"What will make us fail, the only way we can fail, is if the demand for massive bandwidth in the cloud doesn't take off in a big way," says Fallon. "And the chances of that are close to zero."
Sometime around next year, the company may find the economics of 100-gig lasers and circuitry economical enough to move its gear into metro markets, a field thick with upward of 15 players. Leading with technology, Fallon is undaunted, and sees Infinera being one of the survivors. "Technology gets defined in the long-haul, and then it moves down to the metro," he contends.
He is clearly proud of having hung in there through more than a decade of flameouts in the biz.
"You know, the thing is, guys in optical have been around a long time," he says. "People today in engineering don't want to go into optical. They want to go work for a social startup or something like that."
"Us old guys who've been around have all this experience and knowledge to bring."
If Fallon is right, it could be the rebirth of the fiber optics craze. Maybe 2.0 will be a saner time.
Here are some things going on today in your world of tech:
Two makes trend, or does it? AT&T (T) reported Q3 results tonight for the September quarter, following in the footsteps of Verizon Communications (VZ) yesterday morning.
AT&T added 785,000 subscribers on a post-paid basis in its wireless business, down from 1.026 million in Q2 but up from 625,000 in Q1. Of note, the company's total net additions were boosted by a surge in "connected devices," including cars with 'Net connections, of 1.28 million.
Profit was held back, however, by lower pricing, with wireless Ebitda margin dropping to 36.3% from 37.2%. The company cut its outlook for revenue growth for this year, sending shares down 1.5% to $34.
Earlier in the day, analysts pored over the Verizon results for clues about spending on telecom equipment that might impact Cisco Systems (CSCO) and others. The general sense among analysts is that Verizon's $17 billion forecast for this year and next means pretty much no decline in the outlook.
In its call tonight, AT&T executives said they were "still committed" to a prior forecast for spending this year of $21 billion.
Elsewhere in earnings world, it was a mixed bag: Yelp (YELP) shares fell 15% in the late session, after its Q4 forecast missed expectations. Another loser in the session was Lam Research (LRCX), maker of chip equipment tools, which beat fiscal Q1 expectations but came up short in its Q2 forecast, sending its stock down 3%.
And enterprise software maker Citrix Systems (CTXS) saw its shares fall $3.67, or almost 6%, to $61.11 in late trading, after it reported missed Q3 revenue expectations, and forecast the year's revenue below consensus as well.
Shares of networking vendor Infinera (INFN) surged 13% after it beat Q3 expectations and forecast Q4 estimates above consensus.
Shares of Polycom (PLCM) were also on the rise, as were shares of security vendor Fortinet (FTNT) on a Q3 beat; enterprise telephony provider 8×8 (EGHT) jumped 7%, and cloud computing-based IT services firm ServiceNow (NOW) saw some after-hours gains too.
Analysts gave a thumbs up to Yahoo! (YHOO) after the company yesterday beat Q3 expectations but forecast this quarter's revenue below consensus.
Most important to the Street were comments by CEO Marissa Mayer that the company has top people working on providing a "tax shield" to the billions in proceeds Yahoo! has already reaped from the Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) IPO last month, and the billions more in eventual proceeds it is now sitting on.
Even some bearish observers, such as Bernstein's Carlos Kirjner, are warming a little to the stock as the tax concerns are abated. It remains to be seen how much of the cash will be returned to shareholders, versus spent on acqusitions.
Yahoo! shares rose $1.82, or 4.5%, to close at $42.
Shares of storage equipment vendor EMC (EMC) rose 17 cents, or 0.6%, to $27.37, after it said this morning it would buy back most of Cisco's interest in their joint venture, VCE. Some wondered when EMC will talk about the elephant in the room: Demands by activists such as Elliott Management to make more drastic M&A steps, such as divesting VMware (VMW).
Speaking of which, shares of VMware fell $6.24, or 7%, to $81.95, after it yesterday afternoon reported a Q3 beat but forecast this quarter's revenue below consensus. The stock got at least two downgrades today, from Nomura Equity Research and Raymond James. Raymond James's Matthew Hedberg called the report "disappointing," and cut his rating to Outperform from Strong Buy, and cut his target to $105 from $120.
And shares of chip maker Broadcom (BRCM) rose $2.04,or 5.5%, to $39.37, after it yesterday afternoon beat Q3 expectations, citing strength in its chips for mobile devices, offset by software results in its parts for networking and communications.
Shares of telecom equipment vendor Infinera (INFN) are up 59 cents, or almost 6%, at $11.20, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q3 revenue and earnings per share that topped consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 22%, year over year, to $173.55 million, yielding EPS of 11 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $170.9 million and 7 cents.
CEO Tom Fallon said he was "pleased" with the results, adding "Our business outlook remains positive as we've strengthened our product portfolio with the introduction of the Cloud Xpress while enhancing our market leading DTN-X."
"I believe Infinera has never been better positioned as we continue to deliver what we believe are the right products at the right time."
Update: On the conference call, management forecast revenue this quarter of $175 million to $185 million, well ahead of consensus for $159.8 million. EPS is seen in a range of 9 cents to 13 cents, well above the consensus for 5 cents.
The shares have now more than doubled gains, up $1.39, or 13%, at $12.
Following Q3 results form Verizon Communications (VZ) yesterday morning, and in advance of AT&T (T) results this afternoon, telecom equipment analysts are sharpening their pencils to figure out what it means for their covered companies, names such as Cisco Systems (CSCO), Juniper Networks (JNPR), Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), and Ericsson (ERIC).
Verizon said it now expects to spend $17 billion this year, which is at the high end of a previously offered range of $16.5 billion to $17 billon, and forecast the same amount next year.
FBR & Co.'s David Dixon, who follows Verizon and has an Outperform rating, describes the capex view as "unchanged," noting Verizon is continuing to invest in capacity for its LTE network:
2014 capex reiterated at $17B, equivalent to 14% of sales, with quarterly spending to remain evenly distributed. The company remains focused on adding much-needed capacity to 4G LTE through increased network density and spectrum deployment. XLTE is now deployed to over 400 markets in 44 states and is used by 35% of VZ postpaid subscribers. Despite usage growth, Verizon should manage LTE traffic growth well due to a more even distribution of 700 MHz and 1,700 MHz signals (on newer technology) in urban areas.
J.P. Morgan equipment analyst Rod Hall, who follows shares of Ciena (CIEN) and rates them Overweight, writes today "Verizon increased its 2014 Capex guidance to $17bn from $16.5bn – $17.0bn," adding "we see the $17bn capex guide for 2015, at the top of the 2014 range, as a general positive for the equipment sector."
"We suspect that AT&T may also be feeling upward pressure on capex due to capacity requirements in parts of the network."
Pierre Ferragu of Bernstein Research, drawing on work from his colleague Paul de Sa, who covers Verizon stock and maintains an Outperform on it, with a $57 price target, writes today that there's no sign of a slowdown in VZ's results:
Verizon capex came in line with expectations for the quarter ($4.14bn) and the company guided the full year at the middle of its previous guidance ($17bn vs. $16.5-17.5bn), which implies a healthy outlook for the fourth quarter (up ~10% sequentially). This supports our main conviction for the US market: No broad-based slowdown in Capex to be expected. The weakness Ciena and Juniper suffered is likely mostly related to AT&T and Comcast, both in intense M&A activity. Moreover, the weakness is likely concentrated in fixed. I like to consider this in light of the ongoing net-neutrality debate and the problematic relationship between Netflix and operators. Isn't this low investment in the IP infrastructure a way for operators to weigh in negotiations? This would further support our perspective that this must be temporary [...] Wireless Capex is slightly down sequentially to $2.5bn, from $2.7bn. The magnitude of the decline is limited, and we noted in our preview US could create some pressure on revenues for Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent.
Ferragu likes shares of Cisco, among others.
On a less positive note, Simon Leopold, equipment analyst for Raymond James, sees "see slower strategic services revenue growth as a concern" for equipment providers coming out of Verizon's report.
"Other variables and moving pieces lead us to remain cautious for an improved enterprise spending environment."
Leopold thinks the results are "neutral" for Alcatel, Ciena, CommScope (COMM), and Ericsson.
He's a little concerned, however, about how much revenue at Ericsson is exposed to Verizon spending:
Nothing Verizon said alters our view on Ericsson, but we would be remiss if we didn't note our concern that 4Q14 Ericsson consensus sales estimates seem high. Verizon is likely Ericsson's second biggest customer behind A&T and Verizon's wireless capex declined modestly in 3Q and is essentially flat q/q in 4Q. North America contributed 28% of overall sales last quarter and has averaged 27% for some time. We continue to see the front-end load of U.S. wireless capex and the loss of share at Sprint as a challenge for Ericsson in the balance of 2014 for its North American business.
Ericsson reports results this Friday morning.
Shares of chip maker Broadcom (BRCM) are up $2.67, or 7.2%, at $40, after the company yesterday afternoon reported Q3 revenue of $2.26 billion and 91 cents, topping the consensus for $2.2 billion and 84 cents.
The company forecast revenue of $2 billion to $2.2 billion, slightly under the Street's average estimate for $2.11 billion.
The quarter was marked by upside in the "broadband business," including Broadcom's chips for mobile "connectivity," such as Bluetooth and WiFi connections in smartphones, while revenue from "infrastructure and networking," such as chips that go into routers, was flat with the prior quarter, held back, to some extent, by slowing in purchases of networking equipment by service providers.
Analysts noted as well that Broadcom is benefitting from participating in Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 6.
CEO Scott McGregor was on CNBC a short while ago. He was asked about recent concerns of a slowdown in the chip industry, prompted by a warning from Microchip Technology (MCHP) two weeks ago.
Said McGregor, "We saw a number of smaller companies report some cautionary reports, but as we saw, and Intel and TI, there's really broad strength in the industry."
Bernstein Research's Stacy Rasgon , reiterating an Outperform rating, and a $46 price target, calls the results "solid," adding that "forward revenue guidance was slightly below consensus, but likely not unexpectedly (we note that the company also likes to leave room to guide up at their Dec analyst day)."
"Gross margins showed upside, and opex was again guided down substantially, as the company anticipates completing the cellular cost reduction faster than originally forecasted."
"Overall we believe the company provided what they needed to, namely a 'path' to the December analyst day, without the core business falling off a cliff in the meantime. We anticipate that the investor meeting can act as a positive catalyst for the shares."
Oppenheimer & Co.'s Rick Schafer reiterates an Outperform rating, and a $48 price target, observing that "Connectivity drove 3Q strength on the back of iPhone 6 content gains, while BRCM's cash-cow Broadband business benefited from EM standards upgrades."
Schafer sees the prospect of higher cash return come the analyst day: "With $2.7B in domestic cash and improving GM/OM/FCF profiles, a material improvement in BRCM's capital allocation outlook appears obvious. BRCM's December Analyst Day should provide greater color on targets for the new model."
Jonathan Pitzer with Credit Suisse reiterates a Neutral rating, and a $40 price target, even though he raises his EPS estimate for this year on signs of better profitability:
Analyst Day on Dec 9th should be a positive catalyst and focus on new target margins (30-35% OpM) and more specific cash return goals ($8.93 cash/share, $4.45 US cash/share). We maintain our $40 TP and Neutral rating – while shares look attractive based on a 30-35% OpM – 10.3-12.4x versus 14.8x for peers; stock looks more fairly valued at 14.5x based on CY15 EPS (w/SBC) of $2.70. While ING clearly deserves a premium multiple to peers, Connectivity likely sees growth and profit erosion (a bit surprised ASP leverage in C3Q was not better), and Broadband is a solid business but probably under-grows the overall Semi Industry.

Season of the Witch begins in a Crusade taking place after the Crusades, in a 14th century For Dummies about as immersive and real as the Ohio State Renaissance Festival. Disillusioned, defected knights Behmen and Felson (Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman) retreat home across a hotchpotch Europe, and turn off into a Hammer Film. Arriving at a plague-eaten town, our heroes are conscripted into a party charged with transporting an accused witch across perilous terrain to a cathedral town, where her trial will supposedly lift the pox from the land. Hackneyed scenesthe thousandth iteration of fantasy-adventure fan favorite moments like crossing a rotted-through rope bridge or crying in mid-battle: "The head! Cut off the head!"are performed with a ceremonious straight face, as is awful "camaraderie" banter between Cage and Perlman ("The ale is on you, tonight!" etc). At points along the dark journey, director Dominic Sena's treatment seems bracing because it's so basicat other times, that's merely autopilot, melees done in uniform quick-cut action montages, cycling through gouging and hacking members of the merry band. The makeup department's glommed-on plague pustules are fantastic, but the concession to modern technology in a badly-rendered last-act CGI demon, cut-and-pasted from a Diablo II screen-grab, is so eminently lame as to cure all fear of hellfire.

What does the pad lock icon with the arrow on my iPhone mean?
If you're seeing an icon of a padlock surrounded by an arrow in your iPhone's icon bar, it means that your iPhone has rotation lock enabled.
Rotation lock allows your iPhone to be locked or "frozen" in portrait mode. In other words, turning your iPhone horizontal won't cause the screen to rotate into landscape mode.
If you've ended up in rotation lock accidentally, and want to know how to interact with the iPhone's rotation lock feature, visit our FAQ entitled "How do I lock rotation in iOS?".

U.S. Sen. David Vitter says the federal government is awarding $181,269 in grants to support criminal justice services in Louisiana.
The grants include:
- $132,984 to Shreveport and the Caddo Parish sheriff's office to buy equipment and supplies
- $28,856 to Bossier City and the Bossier Parish sheriff's office to buy equipment and supplies
- $19,429 to the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government to buy equipment for the Houma Police Department.
Vitter, in a news release this week, said the grants are awarded through the U.S. Department of Justice's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which supports states, tribes and local governments in preventing and controlling crime.
