NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks says its quarterly profit rose by 25 percent as it benefited from lower coffee costs and stronger sales around the world.
The Seattle-based coffee company says global sales rose 5 percent at established locations. That was slower than the increase in the previous quarter, however, and total sales fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Sales at established locations rose 5 percent for the U.S. and the region encompassing Europe.
For the three months ended Dec. 29, it earned $540.7 million, or 71 cents per share. That was more than the 69 cents per share analysts expected.
A year ago, it earned $432.2 million, or 57 cents per share.
Revenue rose to $4.24 billion, shy of the $4.3 billion Wall Street expected.

The R6 was a New York City Subway car built in 1935 and 1936. The R6 contract had three separate orders from different manufacturers due to the large order. The R6 separate orders were R6-3 (American Car and Foundry Company), R6-2 (Pullman Standard), and R6-1 (Pressed Steel Car Company). The R6 fleets were almost identical to the R4s which preceded them, except that the R6 had a 2 pane front window compared to the R4's 1 pane window.
- Cars 923 and 925 were converted to revenue collection cars, and numbered R247, and R248. Once they were no longer needed as work cars, they were purchased and preserved by Railway Preservation Corp, and stored in Coney Island Yard. Restoration will be needed if these cars are to run again.
- Car 978 was converted into a deli (Golden's Deli) at the Staten Island Mall, until the Deli was closed in January of 2012. The owners of the Deli have placed it in storage, but have ultimately decided to sell the car.[1][2]
- Car 983 was on private property in Jacksonville, Florida where it was used as a tool shed and is currently at Craggy Mountain Railroad Line and will be preserved.[3]
- Car 1000 was preserved by Railway Preservation Corp. and has been fully restored
- Car 1144 is preserved at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre in England
- Car 1300 was preserved by Railway Preservation Corp. and has been fully restored
Note that Car 1208 had been preserved by the New York Transit Museum, but was scrapped during the 1980s as were several other museum cars. Had it survived, it would have been the only preserved R6 built by Pullman Standard.

The newest solution from Campagnolo comes in the form of cranksets developed with the Over-Torque technology. The revolutionary new Over-Torque product was developed in an effort not only to push the limits of both rigidity and weight but also to come in a format that adapts in a more efficient manner to frames with oversized bottom bracket designs. Following the Campagnolo philosophy of keeping the bearings at the widest stance possible in combination with a large diameter axle, the Over-Torque crankset construction has an extremely wide stance for bearings in addition to a 30mm axle diameter. These two factors, combined with a newly designed crankarm produce a 5% rigidity increase over the current Super Record Ultra-Torque crankset as well as an increase of 10% with regards to the weight/rigidity relationship. Aluminum spindle.
Over-Torque bottom bracket sold separately.
Lengths: 170, 172.5, or 175mm

I bought the sticker for the side of my fridge and have received so many compliments! It was relatively easy to cut and make fit the fridge (just make sure you have at least two people do it - since you want to stick it right). Great look and definitely recommend the product.

This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
There has always been one thing or another about any vacuum cleaner I have owned (and I am much too embarrassed to say how many there have been) that has made me unhappy with it. I hate vacuuming to begin with, and since we live near the beach and have a Golden Retriever, I have no choice but to do it often. Dealing with long cords and vacuums that were heavy, unwieldy and loud made vacuuming even more of a pain than it already was. I know, I know, that makes me sound like a spoiled princess, but I'm trying to be honest. Anyway, this vacuum is LIGHT, QUIET, VERY AGILE and CORDLESS. Proof that there IS a God, right? It is of course not quite as powerful as the corded deluxe ones, but my housekeeping standards are not particularly high, so I don't care as long as it gets up most of the sand and fur, which it definitely does.
Thanks, Gtech, I LOVE this vacuum cleaner.

But I guess that you should keep the original shipping carton for the whole 2 year warranty period to avoid spending $23.64 on packaging. When I questioned any of the things I was told, they promised to have a supervisor call back. They never did!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am the unoffical "King" of trying to find a vac that "works for me". This is it.,
JP (Virginia, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I waited 2.5 months before writing this review. I use this vac, and only this vac, EVERY day (we have 3 long-haired, predominately inside dogs. 2 of which are 60+ pounds). Being indoor dogs, they shed (like crazy) year round. We also have horses and donkeys, which helps add to the amount of "stuff/dirt" we constantly drag into the house.
This vac is loud, but no louder than a plug-in vac. This vac is super powerful. Works absolutely "wonderfully" on carpet, wood floors, linoleum, and tile. (Most of our one story, 2400 sq ft house has wood floors. We have no steps.) Probably, mainly cause it is so light, this vac maneuvers like a dream. The unit is also LOW to the ground, and the handle bends all the way back, so I can vacuum all the way under our (Cal King) bed, and also under our dressers, and can stick the vac under the recess along the baseboards of our kitchen floor cabinets. Vac is very good at sucking-up along its edges, too. Extremely easy to empty this vac. I was gambling big-time when I spent the money on this vac, but this time my gamble paid-off. Before buying this vac, I went to Amazon.co.uk to read their 600+ reviews. I no longer have to use the "Swiffer" on our wood floors, this vac "dusts" the wood floors as well (of course).
....This vac has no attachments. (I bought a $29.00 handheld corded - designed for use in a car - vac at Costco for when I need to vacuum ALL our windows' wooden blinds, and along the baseboards, etc.... It came with handy crevice and brush attachments. It is $42.00 on Amazon - the "Carrand 94005AS AutoSpa Bagless Auto-Vac".)
I am "older", so I wish the recharge cord plugged into the upper part of the handle rather than way down near the bottom.
"It would be nice" if instead of having to plug the recharge cord into the vac, one could simply set the vac in an always plugged-in recharge base (as my Shark Navigator Freestyle vac had).
This vac can run "forever". "Forever" = 45 minutes, I believe. I use it about 20-30 mins a day, depending on how thorough a job I do.
Let me say again how powerful this vac is.
I pick and pull the dog hairs off the brush/roller bar every few days. The hairs, and there are plenty of them, don't slow this powerful vac down, but I'm sure the brushes perform their job much better when they aren't wrapped with hairs.
You DO NOT want to use this vac on carpet that has fringe(s) on it. The brush/roller bar will suck them right up and the vac, by design, will "shut itself off", and you won't be able to turn it back on for about 10 seconds. This vac will tear the fringe off your throw rugs.
Being the genius that I am, I took the vac out to my workshop and started cleaning. Slid the vac way under a very low to the ground up against the wall shelving unit, and happened to suck up 5 quite large metal nuts (which would normally screw onto the end of bolts). My vac came to an abrupt halt, and I had to (felt compelled) take the vac apart. A couple of the nuts had gotten badly wedged in a fan/gear (in the bowels of the vac), and cracked that piece really bad. Vac no longer worked right. I then called RamAir's customer service # (listed on their website), and the person who immediately answered (no phone menus or waiting on hold) took a message and told me someone would call me back tomorrow (I had called very late in the afternoon). Next day, 4pm, I hadn't heard from anyone, so I emailed their customer service, and within ONE minute I received a call back. Here is the result:

Lastly I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Serves my needs superbly. It kicks-butt! There are very few products I'd recommend to people (I can think of 2 other manufacturers' products I think so highly of.), but this vac is certainly one of them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like it a lot,
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
Not having to drag around an electrical cord is fantastic. The swiveling handle makes negotiating corners and tight spots easier. The bag-less dirt collection system saves money. The only thing that I think is not so good is the noisy motor which does not run as smoothly as possible. Glad I got it.

2.0 out of 5 stars After 8 Months, Was Disappointed, but appreciate their efforts,
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
I give props to any company that reads its reviews and acts on them. I had emailed my review to GTech customer service, but they also commented here, so I know they read these. They did send me a new vacuum (without my requesting one) and a shipping label to return my old one. I was told to keep my old battery for a backup (which will be VERY useful - I will always be able to have a charged one ready to go), and the new one came with the USB cable which I hadn't originally received, so I'll get to do the nifty features that come with plugging it into the computer.
I haven't had a chance to try the new one out yet. I assume it will work like the old one. The customer service dude I've been communicating with claims not to have the same hair problems we have, but maybe I just shed a lot more. I know how to take the brush out now (though that's not easy or something I want to do often), so that's how I'll clean the hair off the edges (getting it off the brush isn't very hard but it wraps around the connecting part).
He also told me that the engineers liked my idea that the top part should click in or have some mechanism that locks it (mine was falling off sometimes), and will incorporate that into the next design. I just wish that meant I got the new design, ha ha!
Overall I'm pleased with the customer service but I'm not expecting the vacuum to perform any better. Will update if my opinion changes.
---Original Review---
I purchased this vacuum on 5/1/13 from Brookstone.com, so have used it for just over 8 months. I vacuum fairly lightly. I have to say, for the investment I made ($350 vacuum! Ten times what I've ever paid in the past), I am sorely disappointed in this purchase.
The Air Ram does well in the areas emphasized in its advertising - it is lightweight and cordless, and it gets into many hard-to-reach places. The weight in particular has been wonderful for me, since I have carpal tunnel.
Unfortunately it is quite annoying in many other areas, and those have outweighed the benefits. One important thing to note is that there is no suction with this vacuum - it only spins a brush very quickly to pick up. I did know this before I bought it, but didn't fully realize the implications.
You see, this means it is a terrible vacuum for people with long hair. I have very long blonde hair and it wraps around the spinning brush, so much so that every single time I use the vacuum I must get out scissors and clean out the hair (a lengthy and difficult process). It is stuck in the corners of the spinner to where I can't reach it, also, which I'm sure limits performance. It might be good for short pet hair, but it's AWFUL for human hair!!
In addition to being unsuitable for households with long hair, it's unsuitable for households with young children. My kids primarily require vacuuming for food they drop. The Air Ram isn't great for Cheerios, much less anything bigger or harder. And of course it can't be used on strings or pipe cleaners or beads or anything they commonly would use for a craft. I nearly broke it several times accidentally picking up ornament hooks under our Christmas tree (which are not visible until you hear them rattling around in the spinning brush).
After about 7 months of use, the top part no longer stayed in place, constantly falling off during use, leading to dust clouds and whatever else you've vacuumed up going everywhere. Even when I empty the vacuum by choice, it makes a mess - certainly no less dust or debris than with any other bagless.
I reached the last straw when it accidentally grabbed some twine the other day and the side of the vacuum popped off! I do everything I can to limit it picking up string, as I know that causes it to jam (really, though - a $350 investment and you make me pre-clean everywhere?). In this case, the twine somehow got in there even though it was up on a high shelf inside a cabinet (I seriously don't know how it happened, but I have young children, and things get shifted and left around sometimes). The twine wrapped so fast and it didn't stop until the front side panel had snapped off. I had to remove the back side screw and loosen the entire apparatus to even get the twine out, it was so wrapped in there.
I am now afraid of it breaking completely. I won't let the children touch it. It feels flimsy and cheap to me, and I assume it is since parts are breaking off or not sticking in properly anymore (again only after 8 mos of use and I am NOT a daily vacuumer by any stretch!). It doesn't feel any better made than the $20 stick vacs I've bought in the past, and it didn't even last as long as my last cheapo one!
Honestly spending this much on a vacuum, I am so terribly disappointed at how it's turned out. The weight has been great. For very small, not very dirty jobs - and on dust - it's excellent. I would imagine for a home with no children - maybe just pets - it would be a great vacuum. I so appreciate how lightweight it is, that it's cordless, and that it charges up fairly quickly and the charge cleans my whole house. But the way it works - spinning instead of sucking - just doesn't turn out to work well for my needs.
And the fact that it breaks so easily, just from a little twine...and the top not staying put, that's just from normal use...well that's really disappointing. I'm most sorry that I can't afford to buy anything else for years to come. Spending $350 on it, I assumed it would last me at least a few years. It hasn't even made it ONE.

2.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE OR THE CLAIMS,
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
Editing my initial review (which is still below this revision), on September 16, 2013: So, the description here at Amazon for this vacuum has been changed from "NO MESS" to "LESS MESS." Much better description, as there is plenty of mess to clean up inside the vacuum dirt collection tray area. Also, a price drop, from $350 to $299.95. Over at Brookstone's Website, the "NO MESS" description has also been removed and changed to "Less Mess." I feel the fact the "NO MESS" description has been removed validates my original review. And I thank Brookstone for coming clean (no pun intended). And for those who accused me of lacking credibility with my review because it doesn't say "Amazon Verified Purchase," I'd like to reiterate here that I purchased this vacuum direct from Brookstone and not here at Amazon because at the time of purchase Brookstone had a coupon available, which lowered the price for me a bit. I still own and use the vacuum.
Original Review:
This vacuum (at $350) is so overpriced, it is insane.
First, let me warn you: Should your $350 Gtech Airram's battery ever fail, there is no way to use the vacuum. It would just be a brick. For that much money, they should allow, just as an emergency backup, the vacuum to be used with the charging cable plugged in. But no. If the battery is drained or dead, even with the cord plugged into it, the vacuum is useless.
But the above is not why I give this vacuum 2 stars.
They claim no mess? There is mess. In fact, you might need another vacuum to clean out the mess (dirt and dust and stuff vacuumed up) that accumulates into the collection area (even immediately after first use). Yes you will! (Yes, you can grab a cloth and wipe out all that dust. You will want to and have to. The video showing how the collection area has no mess, along with the written claims of same, are utter bs.)
I bought this vacuum direct from Brookstone, and am very disappointed. I really thought that for $350, there would be no mess (or at least, a tiny amount). One big complaint about bagless vacs is the mess in the collection areas. So, Gtech, in an effort to make the cost so high, claims "lightweight, clean, and cordless...no mess." It is lightweight. It is cordless. But it ain't clean. Not in the least. And there is mess.
So, if you got a lot of extra money to spend and you want cordless, light, and powerful, buy this vacuum. But do not expect clean. The only thing "clean" about this vac is that after you open up the cover, you're gonna have to CLEAN the inside.
To summarize: This vacuum is in no way worth $350, in my opinion...and you will have to clean the dust and dirt out of the collection area (with a rag or paper towels) just like you would with any bagless. There is mess and particles to manually empty seperate from what they call the "bales of dirt." Their so called "bales" after pulled out, stuff is still stuck to the underside of the cover, which you will have to pick out with your fingers. (This vacuum is not worth anything over $180, in my opinion.)
Positive: Convenient for quick touch ups since it is cordless. Light weight. Maneuvers fine. Seems to have good suction. Noise not too loud for me.
P.S. I doubt you would want this as a primary vacuum for your home. Better for quick touch-ups.

This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
The complaint about noise is not valid...its no louder than any other vacuum. HOWEVER, this vacuum so far (I've had it 5 months) is amzing and cleans like I've never seen before. I've owned Dyson, Shark, Kenmore, Eureka and Oreck, and NONE of these pick up dust and animal hair like the Gtech. Granted, its best if you have a dustbuster to clean out the residual dirt from the containment areas but its worth it! Plus, its so light weight. So far, absolutely NO regrets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gtech AirRam,
NewAgeMama (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
Let's start off by talking about assembly. I always get nervous when things aren't put together for me. But the AirRam was fairly simple to assemble. The only thing that really needed to be done was attaching the handle and the battery, which took a few minutes at most. They just snap into place. No tools required. Once that was done, we were ready to start cleaning. One of the things I noticed about this vacuum right away is that it's extremely light weight. It's great for carting up and down the steps. The handle also bends all the way down to the floor, making it easy to slide the head under beds and chairs. It is a little too big to fit under my sofa but depending on how high it stands off the ground, some people would be able to squeeze it under there as well.
The really unique thing about this vacuum is that it's completely cordless. It runs on a rechargeable lithium battery. I honestly didn't realize how annoying a wire was until I didn't have one. With the AirRam, I could go around the whole house without once having to worry about switching outlets. Going up and down stairs is much easier, and for once, I don't have kids and pets tripping over the wire or stepping on it and preventing me from moving forward. It really is much easier to get done when you're wireless. The charge lasts for several hours, so I have had no issues with it running out of power before I got the job done.
As far as suction, this sucker is definitely powerful. I had no trouble picking up clumps of cat and dog hair, and those pesky cheerios came up easily as well. Because it works on both rugs and hard floors, I also found it worked great sweeping up the excess cat litter that got kicked out of the box. It picked up everything in its path from dried dirt tracked in from outside to bread crumbs the little ones dropped on the floor. My only problem was that because the vacuum doesn't come with any attachments, I couldn't get it in really tight corners and there are some areas the head just can't squeeze into even when I move the furniture. So while it's great for everyday cleaning, I still need to use my larger vacuum if I want to do any really intense vacuuming that requires attachments.
When you're finished vacuuming, there are no bags involved with this vacuum. All the dirt is gathered at the head of the vacuum. This was very easy to dump out, but there are some cons to it. The area holds a fair amount of dirt, but if you have a pet that sheds like mine does, you are going to have to empty it a few times before you finish the whole house. It can also get messy. Make sure you empty it over a trashcan or you'll have to vacuum again.
All in all, I was very happy with the performance of the AirRam. It makes vacuuming quick and easy. The lightweight unit is great for kids or older folks who might have trouble lugging a big heavy vacuum around. It offers a powerful suction, easy maneuvering, and long run time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awful Customer Service!!,
El Toro (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gtech AirRam High-power Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)
After posting my last review, I was contacted by Gtech to apologize for my experience. They have sent me a new vacuum cleaner via FedEx and a prepaid shipping label to return my broken one. I was also able to keep the old battery as a spare.
-New and Improved Review-
I am so disappointed by GTech's customer service. After less than 6 months, the vacuum started making a terrible screeching noise that some reviewers also mentioned. And then the brush stopped spinning entirely. I cleaned the brush so that it rolls freely when I manually do it, but it won't spin when it's on. I called customer service and was told that they would email me a shipping label to the factory within 24 hours. They would then repair it or replace it and send it back within a week of receipt. I waited 4 days for the email with the shipping label and when I didn't receive it, I called back. That person had to send a message to his supervisor and couldn't help. The following day, I received an email saying that because I bought it from Brookstone and not directly from GTech that they could not help me AT ALL even though there is a 2 year warranty. They couldn't/wouldn't even look up my warranty information. They just said I had to deal with Brookstone. Mind you, I told the very first person I spoke with that it was purchased from Brookstone and he said it would be no problem. This is really horrible customer service for a product that costs $350 and broke after less than 6 months! I don't even want a replacement anymore, I'm working with Brookstone for a refund. (Brookstone, by the way, has been awesome.) What's the point of having a vacuum cleaner that breaks and then can't even be serviced by anyone in your local area? Don't buy this - it's not worth the hassle. Now I'm sitting in a house full of dog fur that I can't vacuum.
-Original Review-
I cannot stress enough how in love I am with this vacuum cleaner. It is lightweight, super maneuverable, and the cordless feature is a dream come true! It's even great on the stairs. I am a petite woman - 5'1" and 115 lbs - this is so easy for myself and my 2 kids to use. In fact, my kids fight over getting to use it first. It's great for dog fur - I actually use it directly on the couch and his bed because it does such a good job. The charge lasts a long time - enough to fully vacuum 1800 sq. feet in one session. I have to vacuum some areas of my house daily due to dog fur, but I find that I only have to charge up every 4 days or so.
As for the things I don't like - emptying the bin is not as clean or breezy as they make it seem, but it's not a deal breaker. It's a slight inconvenience but an easy fix. I just make it vacuum up whatever falls out. Also, once I washed the filters (recommended once a month), they took days to dry and now when I use it, it smells like wet dog. A little more problematic, but again, not a complete deal breaker. I got the vac for my birthday upon request and will now ask for spare filters for the holidays. I'm so glad I got this instead of a Dyson!

"What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing," wrote Oscar Wilde. "And a sentimentalist," he added, "is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn't know the market place of any single thing."
I thought about those famous lines when going through a recent report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the cost of raising children. When it comes to considerations of money and kids, it often seems as if two very different perspectives dominate the conversation: a cynical voice that emphasizes how expensive it is to raise kids, and a sentimental tone that sees children as priceless. In this case, of course, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Children are wonderful, well worth the money, but for many families the money spent on them isn't chump change either.
According to the USDA, a middle-income family with a child born in 2013 can anticipate spending about $245,340 ($304,480 adjusted for projected inflation) on food, housing, child care, education, and other expenses up to age 18. In other words, before counting any costs from investing in postsecondary education.
The more intriguing and informative numbers come from the USDA's breakdown of where the family money goes in 1960 and in 2013. Families are spending much less on food, clothing and miscellaneous expenses in 2013 compared with 1960. In 1960 food absorbed 24 percent of the household expenditures on children. In 2013, the percentage had shrunk to 16 percent. Housing has barely budged, 31 percent in 1960 and 30 percent in 2013. Transportation, another big ticket expense, has dropped from 16 percent in 1960 to 14 percent in 2013.
What's striking is how much more we spent in 2013 on health, education and child care than in 1960. Specifically, child care and education expenses absorbed 2 percent of household budget in 1960. In 2013 the family's spent 18 percent of their budget on those areas, with child care accounting for a big portion of the spending. Health care expenses have doubled from 1960 to 2013 — from 4 percent to 8 percent.
What this means is that personal finances for young parents are increasingly dominated by the need to save for and invest in their child's human capital — their education, their skills and their health. Parents at all income levels have absorbed the message in the economy and job market: Education boosts the odds for their children to grow individually and to enjoy good career opportunities over a lifetime. Child care absorbs more of the household budget for single parents and two-income couples and, sad to say, it's unlikely Washington will design policies anytime soon making it easier for families to have children and stay employed.
So where will the money to come from? Young families are savings more and spending less in general, largely in reaction to the job risks of the tough economy. My guess is that families will find additional sums to invest in their children's human capital by embracing a more frugal approach toward housing and transportation expenses — two big-ticket items. Thrift with both pays off with time.
But prospective parents should not be frightened of the USDA number. You can make the finances work. Most parents do. Anyway, what's really scary isn't money. It's when your child gets the flu for the first time or has a nasty setback on the playground. Now that hurts.

David Patraeus calls Call of Duty military sex scandal module very realistic
WASHINGTON, DC – Following his recent resignation as CIA Director, David Patraeus has spent many hours exploring the new release of 'Call of Duty' which includes a detailed simulation of a senior level sex scandal.
After reaching the highest levels of the game Patraeus said, "These developers got it right. When I get to the sex scandal level I feel like I am reliving my own life. It's almost like they had to follow me around for the last couple years to learn all my high level moves. How a bunch of computer nerds could know this much about marital betrayal is beyond me."
Tiger Woods has made similarly positive comments about the sex scandal level recently built into the popular Tiger Woods EA Sports PGA Golf video game. Woods commented, "EA Sports approached the sex scandal module with total professionalism. Very realistic. They found nuances of seduction even I could learn from. It's a great training ground even for an accomplished philanderer."
The 'Call of Duty' development team explained on the blog area of it's website that the simulated sex sandal brings another level of reality to gaming. "We found inspiration in the actions of former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and former president Bill Clinton. It was very difficult for highly intelligent code developers to mimic such low level stupidity and carelessness but with enough discipline our developers learned to think like morons. "
Patraeus said he plans to continue playing 'Call of Duty' as long as his wife allows him. "My wife keeps asking me why I'm suddenly so obsessed with 'Call of Duty'. I tell her I love the military strategy. For now the sex scandal module should probably remain my little secret. I especially don't want her to see the female character that looks surprisingly like Paula Broadwell."

An old barn remembered from my teenage years in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Painted on deep canvas in colorful pallet.
I work in acrylics, watercolors and pen and ink to produce images of the world I experience and want to share with others. While much of my work features nautical subjects related to the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and seascapes featuring beaches, I have a growing body of new work featuring other settings. My work is representational, yet I use strong colors creatively to express emotion and seek balance of expression. My interest in art dates back to my childhood in Cincinnati, Ohio where I took Saturday classes at the Cincinnati Art Museum, and summer programs at the University of Cincinnati. I am retired after 38 years as a United Methodist pastor, and my formal education was in areas other than art. In 1994, however, I received...

Cyberspace is seeing the beginnings of the development of new types of destructive tools.
Biometric technology capabilities continue to grow, and so do government data sharing efforts.
Creating a national strategy for deterring cyber attacks faces difficult challenges, according to Gen. Keith Alexander, USA, U.S. Cyber Command commander and director of the National Security Agency.
The U.S. Coast Guard is facing the dilemma of its traditional threats combining to pose a synergistic danger to U.S. homeland security. Longtime menaces such as drug smuggling, alien immigration and terrorism may be merging their organizations and their tactics to pose an even greater threat to the nation. Stopping these threats will require data sharing and consolidation. Unfortunately, even organizations willing to share information often find legal and technological roadblocks in their way. Rear Adm. (S) Stephen Metruck, USCG, chief of staff, Eleventh Coast Guard District, told the Thursday breakfast audience at West 2011 in San Diego that the Coast Guard is striving to head off threats before they near the homeland. "Goal defense" is not an effective way of stopping adversaries, he explained. The Coast Guard is working to develop new methods of detecting and identifying threats before the marauders launch their plans into action. Operation Focused Lens, for example, looks at places from where attacks may come. The goal is to detect anomalous activity before a smuggling or terrorist boat is launched. Marina operators would be engaged through an outreach program to report suspicious signs such as boaters practicing illegal activities. Combining data may be harder. Adm. Metruck allowed that many firewalls prevent government agencies from linking their databases, even within the Department of Homeland Security. In some cases, the only solution is to place people from different agencies side-by-side so that they can share views on their computer displays.
The U.S. Navy has killed some programs and accelerated others as it restructures its budget priorities. Robert O. Work, undersecretary of the Navy, gave the West 2011 Wednesday luncheon audience a bluntly candid assessment of which systems worked, which didn't and were canceled, and which are on probation. One of the key systems killed was the Marine Corps Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle. While it had a troubled history, it was going well recently, but the Navy-acting on a recommendation from the commandant-killed the program because it was going to eat up too much of the Corps' budget in the future. Work reported that it would have consumed 50 percent of all Marine Corps procurement funds-100 percent of Marine Corps historical vehicle expenditures-between 2018 and 2025. Work was much harsher in his explanation of why the Navy canceled the ALQ-99 jamming pod for the EA-18G Growler aircraft. "The Growler is a good aircraft, but the ALQ-99 is a piece of crap-the polite thing to say is that it's reaching the end of its service life," Work declared to an attentive audience. "Instead, we'll have something better for the Growler." The F-35B short takeoff vertical landing aircraft program is having problems, and it has been put off two years so that its problems can be fixed. Work expressed confidence in that decision, saying, "We are absolutely convinced that we will fix the problems in the F-35B." But Work waxed eloquent about the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program, which is proceeding with two vastly different production designs. Calling it "one of the most misunderstood ships in the Navy," he nonetheless praised both its capabilities and its program structure. Having two companies concurrently producing LCS ships at the current schedule has saved the taxpayer $2.9 billion, Work stated. Three missions that used to require different classes of ships have been combined into one, and he is confident it will work well.
The U.S. Navy is re-tailoring its force as it realizes efficiencies driven by budgetary needs, according to the undersecretary of the Navy. Robert O. Work enthusiastically told the audience at Wednesday's West 2011 luncheon that the new budget direction is giving the Navy opportunities to build the type of force that it needs for the coming decades. "Our shipbuilding program is more stable than it has been in a decade," Work declared. Work described how many budget savings have been re-allocated to other programs, which is providing long-term savings through accelerated development. Some of the programs that were cut were doing well, but they fell into the category of "exquisite capabilities"-highly desirable, but not absolutely necessary. The savings were redirected toward programs that were essential to the Navy's future. "We accelerated things that we knew we needed," he related. The Navy will "buy smarter," acquiring exactly the same as it bought last year, but for $8.5 billion less, he continued. However, he admits that what keeps him up at night is the continuing resolution under which the Navy is operating now. The Navy is capped at 2010 levels and cannot begin new programs. "We've got to get that fixed," Work charged, "or it will force the Department of the Navy to make stupid and irrevocable decisions."
The dynamic modernization of China's economy and society may owe more to momentum than careful planning. Dr. Xinjun Zhang, associate professor of public international law, Tsinghua University, Beijing, offered that he believes that China does not have a vision guiding the massive changes that define China today. Zhang offered that China's current policies have emerged from Deng Xiaoping's approaches, which he implied were a bit too pragmatic. Speaking at a policy panel that included former U.S. Pacific Command head Adm. Timothy J. Keating, USN (Ret), and moderated by former Good Morning America host David Hartman, Zhang said a lack of vision has plagued much of Chinese policy. This extended to the lack of progress on reunifying Taiwan with the mainland. While not claiming to be a Maoist, Zhang did praise People's Republic of China founder Mao Zedong for his vision. Zhang even said that if Mao were to return, he would come up with a solution for reunification. Zhang warned against pressuring China on human rights and other internal policies. China has "a very complicated government," he said, as it tries to run a diverse country rife with different ethnic groups and languages. Maintaining stability is important both to China and to the rest of the world. "I cannot imagine the consequence to the globe without a stable ruling government in China," Zhang declared.
China and the United States are plagued by a "strategic mistrust" that hinders relations between the two. That statement was made by Adm. Timothy J. Keating, USN (Ret.), former commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, in a panel discussion with Dr. Xinjun Zhang, associate professor of public international law, Tsinghua University, Beijing, that was moderated by former Good Morning America host David Hartman. To the audience, that strategic mistrust was evident in the exchange of comments between Zhang and Adm. Keating throughout the panel. Both expressed their country's points of view in direct opposition to each other's. Despite an amicable atmosphere, the two men expressed diametrically opposed views even when they shared the same policy goals. Adm. Keating called for greater understanding through transparency and communication, while Zhang said that China feels threatened by U.S. surveillance ships and aircraft at the edge of its territory. Perhaps issues with North Korea personified the differences best. Both men agreed that their countries' policies aimed at having a non-nuclear Korean peninsula, and both agreed that removing nuclear weapons development from North Korea was essential. However, Adm. Keating emphasized the urgency of quick action before North Korea developed an effective nuclear arsenal, while Zhang called for patience to maintain stability while all sides worked toward the same goal.
The battlespace dominance enjoyed by U.S. forces for two decades may be disappearing as many potential adversaries begin to employ the very technologies that have served U.S. forces. Dick Diamond Jr., national security trends and strategic issues analyst with Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, warned that the near monopoly enjoyed by the United States in precision guided munitions (PGMs) and surveillance is going away. "We may not be able to conduct our favorite American way of war in the future," Diamond declared. Moderating a West 2011 panel focusing on unmanned systems, Diamond went on to say that the United States may not be able to position forces forward for fighting at a time of its choosing. These forces would be vulnerable to other countries that are procuring PGMs at affordable prices. As a result, maritime forces will need to be positioned farther away from shore. And, information dominance may be the key battlefield of the future. "Just ask the Iranian nuclear engineers," Diamond offered.
The U.S. Marine Corps will need to innovate while maintaining its traditional amphibious capabilities as nations act more in their own interests, suggests a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) deputy commander. Maj. Gen. Melvin G. Spiese, USMC, deputy commanding general, 1 MEF, told a West 2011 luncheon audience that the Corps is exploring innovative solutions to meet new international contingencies. "The U.S. Marine Corps has never met the nation's needs by being conventional in its approach," the general declared. Gen. Spiese emphasized that Marine Corps capabilities hinge on its being able to interoperate with the U.S. Navy. Among those capabilities is amphibious assault, which-as opposed to many new doctrines-remains relevant and important. The general stated that most nations, including friends, act in their own interests. As a result, it is harder to arrange for allies to go along with U.S. policies. Nations change their policies over time as their national interests change. The United States cannot assume these nations will support it as a matter of fact, Gen. Spiese stated. So, the United States should not place itself in a position where pursuing its interests rely on the policies of another nation.

The local job advice columnist tries to straighten this snowflake out:
Reader: After graduating at 24 from a master's program in public health, I landed my first job this summer as an epidemiologist at a world-class public health institute. However, I feel like I'm not being valued as a team member and am not learning any new skills or growing professionally. I've made several mistakes recently, and now my supervisor is giving most of the work that needs to be done to an intern, leaving me with virtually nothing to do all day. I feel like the job is below my skill level, and overall my job satisfaction is low. When is the right time to start looking for a new job? This is my first real job, and I am hesitant to stay less than one year, but really can't see myself staying that long.
Karla: You've landed your first job out of school:- in your field.- at a prestigious institution.- in the worst job market in decades.To many of your peers, this probably sounds like complaining that the pony you got for Christmas doesn't fit the saddle you've picked out.
- continues here.
... so greetings to all until we meet again (note: in case N Korea nukes us, it's been real)...

Drivers of Deradicalization: Needs, Narratives, Networks
Dealing with violent extremism occupies, these days, a top spot on the world's agenda. Like the Ebola virus, another global threat du jour, the disease of radicalization is spreading with alarming speed. A reported 20,000 foreign fighters from over 70 countries are now engaged in Syria and Iraq, including 3,000 fighters from the West.

Kitchen Renovation
Lloyd Architects
September 14, 2012 in Before & After
Here's a project we completed recently (more after photos at http://www.lloyd-arch.com/portfolio/modern-ranch/). The homeowner has a great sense of style and color.
Reico Kitchen & Bath
Gorgeous transformation! Well done!
Warren Lloyd
Thanks for your comments. The kitchen was for good friends that entertain often. Even at that, they took a leap of faith to open everything so completely. The kitchen island literally took the place of the demising wall and fireplace. It is now the heart of the home. Warren
Such a clean, modern space. It is beautiful!

Favourite Book: 'Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien
'Lord of the Rings'. It works because like all great books it is fantastic with your imagination. It's so detailed - there's a lot of fantasy, a lot of action, there's a love story so it gets both genders. I love books because your imagination runs riot. In an era when you are bombarded with video, where you just watch and don't need to use your imagination, I think books become more powerful today and it's terrific to see kids get into it and then go to the movie and say: "that's not how I pictured Legolas to be". That's the magic of reading.

There are a lot of new names fishing the CITGO Bassmaster Classic this year. A few you may recognize, or not.
Michael Iaconelli is starting the final day of the 2003 Bassmaster Classic in the lead.
Michael Iaconelli won the 2003 Bassmaster Classic in the last 5 minutes of the tournament.
In response to a scheduling change to the FLW Championship that conflicts with traditional CITGO Bassmaster Classic dates, BASS officials have responded by calling the move damaging to the sport of professional bass fishing.
Officials from North and South Carolina and BASS, made the announcement today on Lake Wylie, which will be the official tournament waters for the catch-and-release event.
But Snowden still has hope. If an angler who already qualified for the Classic through the Tour were to finish in the top 10 of the upcoming Bassmaster Elite 50 series, they would double qualify for the Classic and the next angler down on the list of Tour points could pack their bags for Charlotte, N.C.
2004 Bassmaster Classic: Qualifiers
12 of the participants in the 2004 Bassmaster Classic have known for a long time that they had qualified for the event.
Gerald Swindle will be fishing his fifth Classic, but this year will be different as he's Bassmaster's Angler of the Year this time.

OGDENSBURG An Ogdensburg Free Academy guidance counselor was arrested Tuesday afternoon when she was found in her car parked on the road with a blood alcohol content more than three times the legal limit.
State police charged Kimberly A. Dishaw, 43, of Ogdensburg, at 2 p.m. with aggravated driving while intoxicated. Police said she was parked on Monkey Hill Road, Oswegatchie.
Ms. Dishaw had a BAC of 0.28 percent, according to police. The states legal threshold for intoxication is a BAC of 0.08 percent. A person is charged with aggravated DWI when the BAC measures 0.18 percent or greater.
State police said she also was cited with drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle and parking in the road.
Ogdensburg City School Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said he was aware of the situation but could not comment because it is a personnel matter.
Ms. Dishaw is scheduled to appear Dec. 4 in Oswegatchie Town Court.

Fluticasone nasal spray is used to treat the symptoms of seasonal (occurs only at certain times of year), and perennial (occurs all year round) allergic rhinitis and perennial nonallergic rhinitis. These symptoms include sneezing and stuffy, runny, or itchy nose. Fluticasone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by preventing and decreasing inflammation (swelling that can cause other symptoms) in the nose.
Fluticasone comes as a liquid to spray in the nose. It is usually sprayed in each nostril once daily or twice daily in the morning and evening. It is sometimes used only as needed to treat symptoms. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use fluticasone exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Fluticasone nasal spray is only for use in the nose. Do not swallow the nasal spray and be careful not to spray it in your eyes.
Your doctor will probably start you on a high dose of fluticasone nasal spray and may decrease your dose after your symptoms are controlled.
Fluticasone nasal spray controls the symptoms of rhinitis but does not cure the condition. Your symptoms will probably not begin to improve for at least 12 hours after you first use fluticasone, and it may take several days or longer before you feel the full benefit of fluticasone. Fluticasone works best when used regularly. Use fluticasone on a regular schedule unless your doctor has told you to use it as needed. Continue to use fluticasone even if you feel well. Do not stop using fluticasone without talking to your doctor.
Each bottle of fluticasone nasal spray is designed to provide 120 sprays. The bottle might not be empty after 120 sprays have been used, but each spray might not contain the correct amount of medication. You should keep track of the number of sprays you have used and throw away the bottle after you have used 120 sprays even if it still contains some liquid.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before using fluticasone nasal spray,
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Fluticasone may cause children to grow more slowly. It is not known whether using fluticasone decreases the final adult height that children will reach. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving this medication to your child.
Fluticasone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at

You should clean your nasal spray applicator once a week. You will need to remove the dust cap and then pull on the applicator to remove it from the bottle. Wash the dust cap and applicator in warm water, let them dry at room temperature, and then put them back on the bottle. If the applicator is clogged, soak it in warm water and then rinse it in cold water and dry it. Do not use pins or other sharp objects to remove the blockage.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.
