Chip growth leads Samsung to big profitBy YOUKYUNG LEE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 26,2013AP PHOTO
A South Korean man walks by an advertisement of Samsung Electronics Galaxy Note 3 smartphone at a train station Friday in Seoul, South Korea. Samsung Electronics Co. had another record-high quarterly profit, thanks to revived semiconductor business and a record profit from handset sales.SEOUL, South Korea Samsung Electronics Co. reported another record quarterly profit as a revival in its semiconductor business and strong shipments of cheaper handsets offset flat sales of high-end smartphones.
The South Korean company, which is the worlds largest maker of smartphones, memory chips and televisions, said Friday its July-September net profit rose 25 percent over a year earlier to $7.5 billion.
It was the seventh quarter in a row that Samsung posted record earnings. Growth was driven by semiconductors and sales of cheaper smartphones in contrast to previous quarters that relied on premium smartphones.
Third-quarter profit from its semiconductor business doubled over a year earlier as demand rose for memory chips used in mobile devices, servers and digital game consoles.
Samsungs mobile business posted a record profit, contributing nearly 70 percent of the companys total operating profit.
However, growth in sales of premium smartphones, the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note 3, came to a halt during the third quarter, staying at the same level as the previous quarter.
In the premium market, Samsung is feeling the heat from the launch of Apples latest phone. Counterpoint Technology Market Research said Samsungs smartphone market share in the U.S. fell to 29 percent in September from 37 percent in August, yielding the top spot to Apple whose share surged to 39 percent thanks to the iPhone 5S.
It was Samsungs cheap smartphones that drove mid-teens percentage growth in shipments.
Samsungs result reflects the current situation in the global smartphone market. The premium smartphone market is not growing quickly, said Young Park, an analyst at Hyundai Securities. There was a concern whether Samsung would compete well with second-tier handset makers in China in low- and mid-end smartphone markets but its growth in that area was impressive.
Samsungs home rival LG Electronics Inc. was a distant No. 3 in the smartphone market after Samsung and Apple. Its mobile business lost money in the third quarter even after selling 12 million smartphones, as it spent more to promote its product and raise its brand reputation.
Apple Inc., which is scheduled to announce its latest financial results Monday, has responded to demand for cheap smartphones in emerging markets by cutting the prices of old iPhone models. Apple did not introduce low-priced iPhone models until this year. But the response to the slightly cheaper iPhone 5C is widely believed to be lukewarm.
Samsung forecast that growth in overall smartphone sales would remain low at less than 5 percent during the final three months of this year, as competition heats up during the peak season for consumer electronics.
Samsung, meanwhile, is trying to narrow Apples lead in tablet computers. It forecast more than 20 percent growth in sales of tablets from the third quarter after its tablet business posted about a 25 percent increase in shipments during the three months ended in September.
The companys sales and operating profit were also at record levels. Sales rose 13 percent to 59 trillion won while operating profit of 10 trillion won was up 26 percent.
Analysts expect that Samsung will post another record profit for the final three months of this year as its chip business is likely to enjoy higher demand from handset makers releasing new mobile gadgets while supplies will remain tight.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Natural gas, the nations most prevalent heating fuel, is getting cheaper just as...

The Bad Plus, "Seven Minute Mind," Made Possible
Because, back in 2003, when we first heard this refreshingly untraditional jazz trio and asked, "Can one album single-handedly make jazz relevant again?" we got beat up by the traditional jazz press for a story of "fabrication" and "convenience." But we've never stopped tipping friends particularly those who don't think they like jazz to the Bad Plus. And they've never done anything to break our trust, or make us think we weren't right nearly ten years ago. This is indeed the most relevant of jazz a wonderfully jittery piano-driven slab of groove piled upon more groove.

Sin Circle: Male dancers stripped on St. Armands
Date: January 16, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
A "ladies only" trip to St. Armands Circle might include spa treatments and shopping at high-end boutiques, followed by wining and dining.
But in January 1980, St. Armands was stripped for at least two nights of its identity as an upscale shopping destination.
The Longboat Observer reported in its Jan. 18, 1980, issue that the former Ruby Tuesday's on the Circle held a "Ladies Only" show that "had the audience close to hysteria" for two consecutive Tuesday nights.
The women chanted, "We want the men," in unison, before six male dancers from The Male Factor began their act fully-clothed but stripped down to bikini underwear by the time they finished their performance.
Restaurant owners estimated that they had to turn away nearly 1,200 women who wanted to scope out the disco dancers.
Ladies who attended ranged in age from their early 20s to over 75. Their behavior was anything but bawdy. They politely applauded and occasionally whistled at the dancers, according to a manager.
The owner told the Longboat Observer that he expected the idea to be a success but never anticipated it would draw such crowds.
Meanwhile, the disco dancers drew mixed reactions from St. Armands residents and merchants.
Ruby Tuesday's owner said that some business owners were pleased by the event's success. Some ladies who were turned away went to other Circle restaurants, instead.
Still, the reaction of individual members of the St. Armands Merchants Association included:
"The St. Armands community doesn't need this."
One merchant described it as "reprehensible."
"The next thing we'll have is a porno book store on the Circle," said another.
Others saw it as a positive development.
"Usually about the time when Ruby's closes, young males sometimes wander about the Circle pulling up plants, breaking some windows and smashing trash cans," a merchant said. "The ladies were the model of behavior and no vandalism was reported."
One "Ladies Only-"night patron told the Longboat Observer that she saw nothing wrong with men seeing strippers. Why then, she asked, shouldn't women be able to watch male strippers, as well?
The dancers' Tuesday-night appearances became a regular presence on the Circle in the early 1980s, but the Male Factor's fame extended beyond Ruby Tuesday's. By 1981, the dancers were preparing for a Las Vegas appearance that would become the first male dance group to perform in Sin City.

Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic & Rosemary
This easy recipe, adapted from Cooks Illustrated, is one of my favorite ways to prepare flank steak. You can make the marinade in the morning, let the meat soak up its flavor all day, then come dinnertime all that's left to do is fire up the grill. Be sure that your grill is very hot so you get nice grill marks, and cook the meat no further than medium-rare; flank steak is a very lean cut, so it can be a bit tough if over-cooked.
Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic & Rosemary
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
- 4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 - 2-1/2 lb flank steak
- Make the marinade by combining the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blitz for a few minutes, until garlic and rosemary are pulverized.
- Place the flank steak in a medium baking dish. Using a fork, poke meat about 10 times on each side. Pour the marinade over top and turn the steak a few times to coat evenly. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Grease grill with oil and preheat to high. When grill is hot, grill flank steak covered for about 5 minutes. Turn and cook covered for about 3-4 minutes more. Let meat rest on cutting board, covered with aluminum foil, for about 15 minutes. Slice very thin against the grain.
Reviews & Comments
Are you guys wiping off the marinade with paper towel before grilling? If not, does the rosemary burn? Thanks!
This was SO good! I am not a steak lover, but I used this with some flank steak and it was so good.
My son who is very finicky about his steaks loves this. In Fact he wants to marinate his Rib Eye steaks in this…..normally other than Garlic Powder, salt and pepper….nothing else touches his steaks.
I made this for a super bowl party and it was a hit! I love garlic and i added some extra. Make sure to poke a lot of holes in the steak so the marinade can sink in. Such great flavor, can't wait to make it again!
This is one of my very favorite recipes. I have made it for guests a number of times and each time it turns out great!
Wonderful flank steak! I've got tons of fresh Rosemary and was thrilled to find a yummy recipe to use some of it! Thanks!!
This was the first recipe on the site I made. This is my new go-to recipe. Jenn, so far each of the 6 recipes I have tried have a permanent place in my recipe file. Fantastic site!!
So easy to make and delicious! Serve with baked potatoes! The fresh rosemary and the garlic give the steak so much flavor!
Made this for my husband last night. It was delicious and so easy to make. We dipped in Dijon mustard. Thanks!

Out of Range Errors, Black Screens, and Game Resolution
Home » Support » pvpnet » Details
If you receive an "Out of Range" error or your screen goes black for an extended period of time before the start of a game, this usually means the game is set to a resolution that your monitor or video card does not support. You can normally change your resolution in the game's video options menu, but since you can't see the game in this state you will have to use the following alternate method (do not alter any files in the League of Legends folder other than game.cfg in the Garena Messenger/Apps/lol/Game/DATA/CFG directory):
- Find and open the Garena Messenger/Apps/lol folder on your computer
- Open the Game folder
- Open the DATA folder
- Open the CFG folder
- Open Game.cfg using a text editor (.cfg files are usually opened this way by default)
- Find the lines in the file that read:
- The numbers listed to the right of the equals sign are the resolution the game is trying to run on. You can change these numbers to any resolution that your monitor and video card support.
- Find the line that reads:
And replace the line with:
- If there is no line that reads 'UserSetResolution=0', you can simply add the line UserSetResolution=1 to the bottom of the file.
- Save the file and exit the text editor
If you don't know a resolution that your monitor and video card can definitely support, you should use your desktop's resolution:
- Right click your desktop background
- Select Properties (or Personalize in Windows Vista and Windows 7)
- Select the Settings tab
- Your desktop resolution is listed under Screen Resolution. The width is the first number and the height is the second number. Enter those values into the appropriate Game.cfg locations.
If changing the resolution in your game.cfg file does not resolve the issue, reinstalling League of Legends should revert the game to a working default state.

Don't Hold Back!
Hey Friends,
Isaiah 54:2 says, "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes". We feel it's important to "not hold back" as we make room for even more people to find Hope in 2013!

An open letter to the Hope Family
Dear Hope family,
Just a little over a year ago, 22 people jammed into our living room to join Jenny and I in launching Santa Cruz Hope. None of us had any idea what God was about to do.
Soon we found ourselves utilizing the Del Mar gym each Sunday morning to serve pancakes and share the word of God. Now about 120 people join us each time—for many it's their first church experience ever. To date, nearly 400 people have invited Jesus into their lives through Santa Cruz Hope!
is getting people on the East Side stoked about him!
In addition to our Sunday gathering, we now host a dozen groups that see some 100 people in fellowship each week, and our weekly "Skate Church" reaches many more. All together, we estimate that Hope is connecting with more than 300 people monthly!
What we are witnessing is confirmation of the vision the Lord gave to Jenny and I when Hope first began. Hope is a place for those that don't go to church to come to find and follow Jesus with chill style, real faith and no perfect people allowed. - A church for the rest of us.
Now it's time to prepare to ride some bigger spiritual waves.
Isaiah 54:2 says, "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes…."
Jenny and I feel strongly that we are called to get ready to "enlarge the place of our tent" and to "not hold back" as we make room for even more people to find Hope!
There are over 16,000 housing units within a mile of Del Mar, the elementary school where we meet in each Sunday morning. That's a lot of people who need the good news of Jesus Christ. We must stretch our tent curtains wide and prepare to meet their needs with additional outreach ministries. This year, we're praying that we can give away 1000 Christmas gifts to local children!
We also sorely need some official office space. Not
only do we need a healthy separation from conducting church business in my
kitchen, but we also need a base of operation. Our office will not only be a
workplace for volunteers and interns, but it will serve as the Santa Cruz Hope
community's hub for meetings and ministry throughout the week.
Enlarging our tent will require hard work. I want to encourage you to consider using your unique gifts, abilities, and passions to help us reach more people with the message of Jesus. You're going to be needed in the coming months more than ever.
Lengthening our cords and strengthening our stakes will require money—we estimate that we'll need an extra $2500 per month to rent office space and fund new ministries. This would include administrative support for Hope as well as Hope Kids. With Skate Church and Hope Kids on Sundays we serve over 100 children weekly.
What I am humbly asking is that, if you are not currently contributing financially to Hope each month, will you pray about it? Jenny and I raise our own salaries and give 10 percent of that income to the church—it's a Biblical model we believe in.
Please pray about how much you could give.
There's easy ways to give online at our website www.santacruzhope.com/donate,
or by check in the Birdhouse at our Sunday gathering, or by mail (P.O. Box 1715 Capitola, CA 95010.) We are a registered 501c3 non-profit, so all donations are tax deductible and you will receive a statement at the end of the year to use when filing your taxes.
Thanks for taking the time to read this important letter.
Holding on to Hope,
Danny Bennett
Lead Pastor, Santa Cruz Hope Church

Can we find true peace?
Tomorrow - we'll share a moment of silence to pray for the victims and families in Aurora, CO. The message series "The Sunday Affect" will continue. Join us on a journey through the book of Ephesians to discover who we are, what we have and how to live in Christ. The focus of this week is finding and living in true peace.

Contact Pam for more info- E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: (831) 556-1408 [Pam's Mobile]
2. Hope Youth- We're stoked to add more ramps and renovate the Skate Shop where Hope Youth (AKA- Skate Church) meets weekly. So due to construction - the Monday & Wednesday groups will be on hold for the next two weeks. There will be some alternative activities led by our youth volunteers. Please join the Hope Youth Facebook Group to stay in the loop and find out more - Click here to join!

Yoram Bauman, a pretty funny and witty guy, will make his first Spokane appearance Nov. 14 at Gonzaga University.
Bauman calls himself "the world's first stand-up economist." This YouTube video here shows him at work recently at a Seattle club.
Sadly, his GU appearance will not be at a club, and it won't be after dark. It's part of the GU Business Administration Dean's Business Forum, and it starts at 7:30 a.m. It's at the Jepson Center's Wolff Auditorium.
HIs show is titled "Comedy, Economics, and Climate Change" and tickets will be $15 for the public, $5 for GU students.
A continental breakfast will be served starting at 7 a.m.
You can register at www.gonzaga.edu/sbaevents.
According to a GU release, Bauman is co-author of "Cartoon Introduction to Economics" and the 1998 book "Tax Shift," which was written with Alan Durning of the Sightline Institute and helped inspire the revenue-neutral carbon tax in British Columbia.
A lot of money is pouring into Washington by opponents and supporters of I-522, the initiative that would require labeling of genetically modified foods or ingredients.
To look at the money raised to oppose the initiative by its main lobbyist, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, check out the state's Public Disclosure Commission site at this link. All of the more than $11 million raised by the GMA will go to help the committee calling itself the No On 522 group.
The No on 522 group's contributions against I-522 come to more than $20 million.
The main committee supporting the initiative, Organic Consumers Fund Committee to Label GMOS in Washington State, has raised more than $780,000 to date. A listing of all the main committees for or against the initiative are here.
It would be hard to find today's local business story looking for it on Spokesman.com. It's just one of two locally written business stories, but we sometimes make it hard to find them.
The story looks at the efforts of startup firm Business Texter, a smart idea using good software to help businesses interact with customers' cell phones.
The photo shows CTO David Johnston and CEO Aaron Rollins, on the roof of the Steam Plant building in downtown Spokane. No, that's not their office. The business is small enough that the company has no actual office.
Johnston and Rollins are considering taking some space in the Launchpad shared office environment being put together on the third level of Steam Plant Square. Here's a schematic of that rentable space.

Amazon on Tuesday unveiled another Kindle promotion, a service called Kindle MatchBook.
It works this way. If you've purchased hardcover or softcover physical books from Amazon, the company will give you at least a 69 percent discount on a Kindle ebook version of that book.
The Kindle prices will be from $2.99 all the way down to … free. That's what they say.
Only a certain portion of the Amazon bookstore qualifies for the MatchBook option. The list of those titles is here.
Since these are all Kindle ebooks, you either need a Kindle device or the free Kindle app on your PC, Mac, iPad, Android tablet, and mobile phone.
The general view is that this is another tactic by Seattle-based Amazon to keep customers interested in the Kindle family of readers. The timing is right, as Amazon keeps contending for a decent share of the upcoming holiday gadget shopping list.
Spokane game maker Cyan Inc. is close to two-thirds of the target goal on its Kickstarter funding campaign.
It's trying to raise $1.1 million using crowdfunding from fans and supporters to develop its next game, currently titled Obduction.
The campaign has 18 days to go.
So far, 47 states now have bans on the serious problem of teen drivers, and others, driving while texting.
A blog at Mother Jones magazine has compiled this map that also lists the maximum penalties for first-time offender, and according to where you live, the answer can vary wildly—anywhere between $20 and $10,000.
Alaska leads the states with the stiffest penalty, a fine of up to $10,000. It also allows a sentence of up to a year in jail.
Notably, not every state bans texting. Montana is the closest example. Some states, the map shows, only ban new drivers and those driving a bus.
Maryland-based alcohol retailer Total Wine & More will open its first Spokane Valley store on Nov. 21.
The new building, at 13802 E. Indiana Ave., is 25,000 square feet. The company's first Spokane location, at 9980 N. Newport Hwy., is roughly the same size. It opened in December 2012.
Company co-owner David Trone said the store's location is intended to attract customers who currently drive to Idaho to buy spirits or wine at prices below those found in most Washington stores.
Trone said Total Wine's relationships with distributors and producers helps it offer prices competitive with those in Idaho.
Total Wine's selections include about 1,500 different Washington state wines and 550 Pacific Northwest beers, said company Vice President Edward Cooper.
The new store will have a climate-controlled wine cellar for high-priced bottles, a walk-in humidor for cigars, and rooms for classes, meetings and events.
More chances to take sides on the Walt Worthy downtown Convention Center hotel. Not that we take any sides in the matter.
The latest architect's rendering is shown here, thanks to efforts by Worthy's Davenport Hotel Collection company.
Also here (below) is a PFD document with a detailed summary and drawings of what will be inside the huge 722-room, 15-room hotel.
The work continues on the ground and is expected to continue through next year, with an expected opening in 2015.
The whole point, according to the Spokane Public Facilities District, is to give downtown a lot more room and more dazzle to attract events and conventions. A consultant told the PFD that the hotel will draw roughly nine more events each year to the Convention Center and generate roughly 20,000 extra room nights from those conventions.
It also predicted the hotel would host 75 to 100 new events per year.
Spokane attorney John Munding has moved his law office from the Davenport Tower to the former Bloomsday organization office, at 1610 W. Riverside Ave.
Munding paid $326,000 for the 3,500-square-foot office building. Earlier this year the Lilac Bloomsday Association vacated the building and moved to another office in the West Central neighborhood .
Munding said he will use the entire building for his firm. It's one of the few office buildings with its own "troll bridge," Munding said. Or, if we misheard, he said "draw bridge." Sounded like the former.
Brian Walker of NAI Black represented the buyer. Pat Martin, of Martin Partners Real Estate, represented the Bloomsday Association in the deal.
There are people out there who really need a carbon stack for their truck. Some even know that what they really want is a carbon stack made by Deviant, a company that makes a number of specialized vehicle accessories. It's come to our attention, through a press release, that Coeur d'Alene-based Alligator Performance has plenty of those carbon stacks, and they sell a lot of them.
What the release mostly told us was that Alligator again landed on the INC magazine list of 5000 fast-selling companies. The private company has a CDA outlet store and an online store that sells lots of products to enhance offroad vehicles, diesel engines and most anything else. It even does full motor rebuilds.
Most of the items it sells are from third parties; but Alligator does make some original parts, including equipment to remove or change emissions-control devices on vehicles.
This year was the third time the company was noted by INC. The publication said Alligator ranked 263 in 2011, No. 298 in 2012 and now No. 590 in 2013. This year, Alligator Performance also landed in Inc's. Top 10 retail companies.
Red Lion Hotels has added a Los Angeles property as a new franchise operation.
The Red Lion Hotel Ontario Airport, 204 N Vineyard Ave., is roughly 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
The former Ayres Grand Boutique Suites has 107 rooms and suites and borders the Ontario Convention Center. Amenities include an outdoor pool and hot tub, a hot breakfast cooked to order and free internet access.
In a release, the Spokane-based hospitality company declared: "In terms of convenience, this hotel is in the center of everything in the Los Angeles Inland Empire."
The Ontario Airport is just a mile away.
Earlier this week we called out to find the company behind the Purcella campaign, for Purcell Systems.
We learned that the work was done locally, by Spokane design and advertising firm BHW1.
Here are the credits for that Purcella campaign: Creative Director Tony Hines came up with the Purcella concept. Don Baker, Illustrator/animator, developed the video graphics. Aldon Baker, film composer & commercial music writer, developed the theme music for Purcell System's superhero.
Cyan Inc., the company based in Mead that developed Myst and Riven and spinoffs from that franchise, announced on Thursday it's developing a Kickstarter campaign to build a new game.
They call the new game Obduction. It's described this way in a release: "Obduction is an all-new, real-time, first-person adventure that harkens back to the spirit of Cyan's earlier games Myst and Riven. Obduction resurrects the feeling of a player suddenly finding themselves in the middle of a new world that they feel compelled to explore, discover, solve, and become part of."
The Obduction Kickstarter campaign is already launched, shooting for a goal of about $1.1 million.
The release also notes the meaning of the word: Ob`duc´tion, n.1. The act of drawing or laying over, as a covering.
The plan for a new game was mentioned in a recent interview with Rand Miller, the CEO of Cyan. On the 20th anniversary of the launch of Myst, Miller said he wanted to find a new game to compete with first-person shooters, and a game that's more about the gamer's experience of discovery than claiming territory or eliminating rivals.
It's described by Miller as different from Myst. It's not Son of Myst, but still carries the tones and resonances of Myst and Riven, meaning playing involves searching, uncovering and revealing the world one engages in the game.
Using terms often attached to the games Myst, Riven and Uru, Cyan describes the Obduction project as a "deeply immersive world" that requires a player to move around, examine and develop a sense of place and connections.
The announcement said the Kickstarter campaign will build versions both for Windows and MacOS, with a targeted release of mid-to-late 2015. Kickstarter funding over the base level would be used to expand the scope of the game (adding such things as new places to explore, additional platforms, localization, technological bells and whistles, and more.
Dateline Olympia:
Washington AG Bob Ferguson on Wednesday filed suit in Thurston County Superior Court, claiming the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) raised and spent campaign money to oppose Initiative 522 without identifying its contributors.
That violates campaign disclosure laws, Ferguson's office said in the suit.
The claim in the suit is that the GMA illegally collected more than $7 million while hiding who the money came from.
Those funds were spent to publicly oppose the initiative, which if passed would force companies that sell genetically engineered foods, seeds and seed products to identify those products on their labels.
A recent SR story noted that out-of-state interests on both sides of I-522 are raising large sums: It said "In this high-stakes battle, the Yes on I-522 campaign has collected more than $4.6 million in contributions and the No on I-522 campaign more than $17.1 million."
Ferguson's press release Wednesday said: "When Washington state voters overwhelming approved Initiative 276 in 1972, they voiced their desire for transparency and openness in elections. Truly fair elections demand all sides follow the rules by disclosing who their donors are and how much they are spending to advocate their views."
The Grocery Manufacturers Association, based Washington, D.C., represents more than 300 food, beverage and consumer product companies. It is the biggest donor to the No on I-522 campaign.
The Attorney General's Office alleges the GMA established the "Defense of Brands Strategic Account" within its organization and asked members to pay assessments that would be used to oppose I-522. GMA then funded opposition efforts while shielding contributors' names from public disclosure.
Ferguson alleges the GMA should have formed a separate political committee, registered with the state's Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), and filed reports indicating who contributed, how much they contributed and how the money was spent to oppose I-522.
Climate change is on the agenda Wednesday, when Washington Gov. Jay Insell comes to Spokane to take part in the first of three Climate Legislative Executive Workgroup (CLEW) meetings. The meetings have the goal of promoting carbon reduction and clean energy investment, according to a press release.
The workshop runs from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Music Building Auditorium, Spokane Falls Community College.
Inslee and several legislators will discuss a number of optins to incentivize changes, including cap and price on carbon pollution, a clean fuels standard, an end to "coal-by-wire" energy from out of state, along with new transportation planning and investments in energy efficiency.
The Spokane hearing will be followed by hearings held in Seattle Oct. 23 and in Olympia on Dec. 6.
The workshops stem from legislation that require Washington state to find recommendations to achieve the state's greenhouse gas emissions limits and greenhouse gas emissions targets.
So while we ponder the impact of EnerSys buying Spokane Valley-based manufacturing firm Purcell Systems, another question looms.
With the acquisition by the much much larger EnerSys, what happens to Purcella?
Purcella is the fanciful, slightly bizarre animated figure created by some marketing folks to promote and explain the goals and business services provided by Purcell Systems. The campaign bragged that heat and cold and "EVEN accountants" can't stop her. It would be ironic indeed if some accountant at EnerSys decides Purcella needs to go bye-bye.
If you care to go through the Purcella video experience, the link is here. Or click the video frame above.
Purcella, as the ads say, is your defender. If anyone cares to volunteer the name of the firm or marketing guru who developed the Purcella campaign, we'd appreciate it. We'd like to honor the creator of Purcella with a little Office Hours gift. (Hint: It will be a gift certificate to a local coffee shop, in a relatively small dollar amount.)
The referrer who leaves us the name or contact of Purcella's creator will get something as well.
Is Washington a bad state for business or isn't it? For many, it's a matter of faith that Washington picks on businesses with a relentless list of taxes, led by the oft-maligned Business and Occupation tax.
The Tax Foundation, however, begs to differ. According to its newly released Tax Climate report card, Washington is the sixth-best state, in terms of business taxes.
The only states better, the foundation says, are: Wyoming, South Dakota, Nevada, Alaska and Florida.
The report is online at this link. Diving a little into the methodology, Washington scores high by not having an income tax and for having a relatively modest state sales tax.
William Webster, who has run several Spokane-area eateries, has opened Webster's Saloon at 1914 N. Monroe St.
The new business is taking the space last used by Working Class Heroes.
The full-service bar will serve lunch and dinner seven days a week. The business will feature house-made smokehouse barbecue flavorings to enhance dishes.
Webster previously operated Isabella's and Geno's, two Spokane restaurants. He also owned and operated the downtown nightclub Zola.
Webster's will offer 13 menu items. During football season the bar will open at 10 a.m. on Sundays to cater to the NFL crowd.
Those crazy guys who recently launched online bartering platform Barters Closet (www.barterscloset.com) are now looking to beef up their piggy bank to move the company forward. They recently started an Indiegogo effort to raise $70,000 to build a mobile app.
They describe the company's business plan as: a place where people can barter for a new wardrobe in a social network setting. The company leases office space in the Buchanan Building in downtown Spokane.
The privately held firm, with Connor Simpson at the helm, is working the crowdsourcing angle in hopes of creating a mobile app to help folks sell items via their phone.
As of today, the Indiegogo campaign had raised almost $700.
Barters Closet is a previous winner of Startup Weekend Spokane and has raised about $150,000 from members of the Spokane Angel Alliance.
One board member is Tom Simpson, Spokane's venture godfather and biological father of Connor Simpson.
A Barters Closet handout said: "The mobile application will allow users to take pictures of their clothes and upload them for barter, sale or donation; right from their phone! Users will also be able to connect with other users by following them, messaging them and thriftying them. Buyers will be able to shop through everything uploaded to Barters Closet to find that one-of-a kind item they are looking for."
Governor Jay Inslee will comes to Spokane next week to present the keynote remarks during Greater Spokane Incorporated's State of the Green Economy meeting at The Davenport Hotel.
The event is Oct. 16 (Wednesday), with doors opening at 3 p.m. with the program beginning at 3:30 p.m. A reception will follow from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The governor will be featured with panelists Scott Morris,CEO of Avista; and Ash Awad, VP of Energy and Facility Services at McKinstry.
They'll deal with the general topic of clean technology and job creation.
Hal Calbom, owner of Sustainable Media Group, will moderate the panel.
Tickets for the event are $20 for GSI members and $30 for non-members. The public can register online at the GSI site.
Spokane entrepreneur Brooke Martin won second place in the recent 3M Discovery Education Young Scientist Challenge, held in Minneapolis.
We profiled Martin and her innovation, icPooch, in a recent SR story.
She finished right behind the winner, a young lad named Peyton Robinson who devised a new type of sandbag with features making it superior in dealing with flooding. He wins the grand prize of $25,000.
Brooke gets $1,000 plus a paid student-education travel trip to Costa Rica. She and the two other top finishers go to New York City this weekend to tape an interview on the talk show "Fox and Friends."
Martin also started a Kickstarter campaign to raise $70,000. That campaign did not hit that mark. Her father, company CEO Chris Martin, said the company will lower its sights to $20,000 for a new Kickstarter campaign.
The lower amount, he said, results from having recently received an angel investment to move the company closer to being able to produce the product.
This is the view looking down from a helicopter at the site of Walt and Karen Worthy's downtown Spokane convention center hotel.
It will include 70,000 square feet of meeting space in more than 25 meeting rooms and a 19,000-square-foot ballroom. The project also includes an attached parking garage with more than 900 parking spaces.
The construction has closed the sidewalk and parking lane along Washington between Main Avenue and Spokane Falls Blvd. That sidewalk will be closed for at least the next 12 months.

Michael Senske, president and CEO of manufacturing company Pearson Packaging Systems, is the new chair of the Greater Spokane Incorporate board of trustees. His one-year term started this week.
Linda Elkin, Spokane Region President of U.S. Bank, was elected chair-elect and will be begin her term as chairman of the group, formerly the Spokane Regional Chamber of Commerce, in 2014.
The board's main focus for the next several months will be replacing Rich Hadley, the business development group's CEO. Hadley will retire in April after serving in that job for 20 years.
Spokane's Keyboard Cat creator Charile Schmidt has settled a copyright infringement suit filed against Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and 5th Cell Media.
Today's story, about plans at GU Law School to create a two-year accelerated program, had plenty of connections to the bigger picture. In particular, legal education is going through a period of intense self-scrutiny, as school administrators realize students don't want to spend three long years before getting out and competing for work.
We were reminded that the Kaplan Test Prep company recently did a survey of law school admissions officers. The key findings, which in this case are pretty obvious once one looks at the real world:

Canon Inc. reported that its fourth quarter profit increased 1.8% from the year before, helping it reach a record annual profit for the eighth straight year. The company also forecast steady profit growth in the year ahead despite anxiety about a global economic slowdown and the strong yen, which could drag on exports.
Net income rose to 127.8 billion yen (approx. $1.197 billion) in the October-December quarter. Sales of office equipment and cameras largely offset a rise in research and development expenses. Sales in the fiscal fourth quarter climbed 3.9% to 1.264 trillion yen ($11.8 billion).
Office equipment sales rose 5% on growth in its combination printer-copier-fax machine business. Single-purpose monochrome and color laser printers also helped support growth.
Sales of digital compact and single lens reflex cameras fueled 5.4% growth in the company's digital camera business from the year before, it said. But greater research and development spending and a rise in operating expenses held fourth quarter profits down.
For the full year, Canon's profit rose 7.3% to 488.33 billion yen ($4.57 billion). That missed the company's forecast for 500 billion yen but it was still the eighth straight year of record annual earnings. Annual sales rose 7.7% to 4.48 trillion yen ($41.97 billion).
Looking ahead, Canon predicts that annual net earnings will rise 6.5% to 520 billion yen ($4.87 billion) on sales of 4.72 trillion yen ($44.22 billion). (AP)

Elizabeth Olsen in Final Negotiations to Play Scarlet Witch in THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
by Adam Chitwood Posted 1 year, 120 days ago
Apparently today is the day that Marvel rumors get confirmed. We just heard that Bradley Cooper is in early talks to voice Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy, and now THR has confirmed that Elizabeth Olsen is in final negotiations to portray Scarlet Witch in Joss Whedon's sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron. We previously heard that Saoirse Ronan was eyed for the Scarlet Witch role, but when she apparently passed, Marvel moved on to Olsen. Now it appears that the Martha Marcy May Marlene actress' deal is nearly done, and she will in all likelihood be playing Scarlet Witch opposite Aaron Taylor-Johnson as brother Quicksilver in the Avengers follow-up. Hit the jump for more.

When Edwin Jackson agreed to sign a one-year, $11 million deal with the Washington Nationals last week, it had been reported that the 28-year-old hurler had turned down several more lucrative offers in favor of pitching for Washington. Today, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal shed some light on one of the deals Jackson turned up to join the Nats.
Sources: #Pirates made 3-yr offer to Edwin Jackson. Also made him 1-yr offer below reported $11M Jackson received from #Nationals MORE #MLB
— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) February 6, 2012
While Jackson did in fact choose a one year deal in order to raise his free-agent value for next year's hot stove, you could also argue that this is the first player ever to choose to sign with the Nationals over another team because Washington has a better chance of competing. The Pirates may set a low bar to hurdle, but that fact alone speaks volumes to how far this team has come in just one year.
The best part of the whole situation for the Nationals is that the one-year deal puts the onus on Jackson to perform in 2012. He chose the one year deal in order to showcase his talents, and he chose Washington to be the platform for which to gain national attention. As a result, Jackson has not just his $11 million deal to live up to, but a potential multi-year, much larger deal down the road to perform for.
Here are two projections via Fangraphs:
Bill James: 11-12, 4.24 ERA, 206 IP, 6.68 K/9, 4.03 FIP
RotoChamp: 12-10, 3.79 ERA, 190 IP, 6.92 K/9, 3.82 FIP

With the celebration of the AmeriCorps 20th Anniversary during 2014, there is no designated AmeriCorps Week this year. Projects and events will be ongoing throughout the year, including the nationwide swearing-in ceremony held on Sept. 12, 2014.
Since the first class of AmeriCorps members began serving in 1994, more than 9,400 Kentucky residents have served more than 14 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $32.5 million.
AmeriCorps Week is a weeklong recruitment and recognition event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible.
AmeriCorps Week provides an opportunity for AmeriCorps members, alums, grantees, program partners, and friends to shine a spotlight on the work done by members in communities across the country – and to motivate more Americans to join AmeriCorps or volunteer in their communities.
During National AmeriCorps Week, AmeriCorps programs sponsor special volunteer events to say "thanks for the hospitality" to their host communities and to promote community service and volunteerism opportunities.
AmeriCorps Week is a time to salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their service, thank AmeriCorps community partners and communicate AmeriCorps impact on communities and on the lives of those who serve. Celebrated March 9-17, the theme was "AmeriCorps Works" to reflect AmeriCorps triple bottom line return on investment -- for the recipients of service, the people who serve and the larger community and nation.
Kentucky AmeriCorps programs participated in various projects and events including presentations on AmeriCorps, service projects, press releases, proclamations, supply drives and recruiting volunteers for local projects. Check out photos on the KCCVS Facebook page.
Watch a video about the 10 local Build-A-Bed projects organized by ATEAM and MSUCorps AmeriCorps programs on YouTube.
Learn more and see photos on the Build-A-Bed Facebook page.
Many of the Kentucky AmeriCorps programs were involved in regional builds and other projects to support the Build-A-Bed project that was the kick-off for 2010 AmeriCorps Week and the focus for the 2011 AmeriCorps Week, May 7-14, observance in Kentucky.

The fourth annual AmeriCorps Week took place May 8-15, 2010.
The national kickoff project for AmeriCorps Week, Build-A-Bed, the 24-hour bed building blitz, was a huge success. On May 8-9, nearly 1,000 volunteers built 545 beds for children in need.

Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163
The inexpensive Toshiba Satellite M35X-S163, a mainstream or value laptop through and through, is designed for students and home users on a budget who need only the basics. Its large but rather lightweight case affords it some benefits, such as a big wide-screen display and dedicated buttons for CD and DVD playback. Handcuffed to a low-speed Celeron processor, however, the $999 Satellite M35X-S163 system comes up short on performance, and its weak battery life will limit your productivity on the go.
The Satellite M35X-S163's measurements place it somewhere between a thin-and-light and a desktop replacement. The laptop runs 14.4 inches wide, 10.8 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick and weighs just more than 6 pounds. The compact but heavy AC adapter adds an additional 0.8 pound.
A big 15.4-inch display with a standard 1,280x800 native resolution is the highlight of the Satellite M35X-S163's design. We like the roomy keyboard, though the rectangular touch pad and the mouse buttons are on the small side. To the left of the keyboard sit five multimedia buttons that control CDs and DVDs when the laptop is booted up; the notebook can also play CDs even when the OS isn't booted. The two stereo speakers placed at the front corners sounded fairly tinny and weak--typical for a laptop in this price range. There's a handy Wi-Fi on/off switch as well as a volume wheel located on the system's right edge, so you need not navigate through the OS to control wireless connectivity and sound. On the downside, there's an annoyingly loud fan that whirrs often. If you plan to keep this laptop in your bedroom or living room, you'll need to turn it off to get peace and quiet. Also, the notebook's lid is so flexible that we have doubts about its ability to adequately protect the display.
For a low-end laptop, the Satellite M35X offers a good selection of ports, jacks, and slots. You get four-pin unpowered FireWire, S-Video-out, parallel, VGA, IrDA, and three USB 2.0 ports; 56K modem, Ethernet, headphone, and microphone jacks; and one Type II PC Card slot. Our evaluation unit shipped with Microsoft Windows XP Home and pared-down productivity suite Works 7.0. Also included are InterVideo WinDVD Creator, Sonic RecordNow, and Sonic DLA for viewing DVDs and burning CDs. The Satellite M35X lacks heavy-duty security features such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, though it comes with Toshiba's cool ConfigFree utility for managing wireless connectivity and other system components.
Toshiba sells a number of preconfigured versions of the Satellite M35X online and in retail outlets; check out our Satellite M35X series review for the particulars of each. You can also customize the virtually identical Satellite M30X on Toshiba's Web site.
Though our Satellite M35X-S163 test unit is quite inexpensive at $999, you get what you pay for: in this case, an array of low-end parts. Our system included a budget-caliber 1.4GHz Intel Celeron M 360 processor; 512MB of slow 333MHz RAM; a midsize 60GB hard drive spinning at a slow 4,200rpm; an economical integrated Intel 855GME graphics chip, which steals up to 64MB of video RAM from main system memory; a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive; and a standard 802.11b/g wireless card.

Tom-B292 is a SPARTAN-III supersoldier of Beta Company.[2]
Orphaned by the Covenant when his homeworld was glassed, he joined the SPARTAN-III program at age six in 2539 in order to get revenge. He was trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose and Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez for six years. Tom, along with Lucy-B091, Adam-B004 and Min-B174, became "Team Foxtrot," one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams.[2]
Operation: TORPEDO[edit]
- Main article: Operation: TORPEDO
When they were only 12 years old, the young Spartans were sent to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta in Operation: TORPEDO. As the Spartans faced superior enemy forces, they were wiped out, but Fireteam Foxtrot managed to reach the inside of the refinery. Only Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292 survived the fight, as they jumped out of the facility into a nearby ocean just before its core went critical.[3]
Battle of Onyx[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Onyx
Despite Colonel Ackerson's wish to have Tom for his own private operations, Kurt managed to have him and Lucy assigned to help him train the SPARTAN-III Gamma Company on Onyx alongside himself and Chief Mendez.[1]
When the Battle of Onyx broke out in 2552, Tom fought alongside his fellow Spartans, eventually making a stand at the entrance to the shield world in the core room antechamber. When ordered by Lieutenant Commander Ambrose to enter the rift to the shield world, he refused saying that he would be court-martialed before he would leave Kurt's side. Kurt then knocked him out with a blow to the underside of his helmet and ordered Lucy to take the unconscious Spartan with her into the shield world. He and Lucy were the last Spartans to leave the battle, surviving through Kurt's sacrifice.[4]
Shield world and later career[edit]
After recovering from Kurt's blow, which left him with a bruise on his chin, Tom joined the rest of the survivors in reconnaissance of the shield world. He searched the area with Kelly-087, Olivia, Dr. Halsey and Chief Mendez.[5] While they were searching they found several alien animals. Later, Mendez and Halsey had a discussion about the Spartans, when suddenly a flying object swooped down on them. Tom was nearest to Halsey and tackled her to the ground to protect her.[6] After Kelly said it was okay, Tom helped Halsey up, the object turned out to be a small cylinder, before anyone could catch it, it flew off. When Halsey noticed his bruise, he reaffirmed how he wouldn't have left Kurt-051 to fight on his own.[7]
Some time later, Lucy-B091 disappeared inside a Forerunner structure, and eventually returned with a group of Huragok, which helped the human survivors open communications with the ONI ships outside the shield world. Soon after, the Huragok also brought the sphere into normal space from its compressed slipspace bubble. The few days the survivors had spent in the shield world amounted for over three months in normal space-time; though they entered the slipspace bubble in early November 2552, they would exit in February 2553.[8] Tom and the other survivors were then taken aboard the UNSC Port Stanley by the ONI team Kilo-Five, and headed to Earth for a debriefing in HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6.[9] He and the other remaining SPARTAN-IIIs were later offered the chance to integrate into the SPARTAN-IV program under the leadership of the surviving SPARTAN-IIs.[10]
Tom and Lucy were assigned to the Spartan branch in August 2553. Their location remained classified afterward.[11]
