Biglari Holdings Sends Letter To Cracker Barrel's Board On Discovery Of Discrepancy In Professed Experience Of Designated Chairman James Bradford
SAN ANTONIO, TX, Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Biglari Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BH) today sent the following letter to the Board of Directors of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBRL) regarding public filings and statements made by Cracker Barrel, including Chief Executive Officer Sandra B. Cochran, that highlight designated Chairman James W. Bradford's former experience as CEO of a New York Stock Exchange-listed company:
October 8, 2012
Board of DirectorsCracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.305 Hartmann Drive Lebanon, Tennessee 37087
Dear Board of Directors:Cracker Barrel's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company's 2012 annual shareholders' meeting contains the following statement regarding the qualifications of James W. Bradford, Cracker Barrel's designated Chairman of the Board: "An experienced corporate executive, Mr. Bradford previously served ... from 1992 to 1999 as President and Chief Executive Officer of AFG Industries Inc., which during his tenure was North America's largest vertically integrated glass manufacturing and fabrication company and was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the 'NYSE')." This assertion was repeated to investors at the Wells Fargo Retail & Restaurants Conference on October 2, 2012 by Cracker Barrel's Chief Executive Officer, Sandra Cochran, who stated that " Jim Bradford, who was the former CEO of [a] New York Stock Exchange company, and he's now the Dean of the Business School at Vanderbilt...." Then on October 4, 2012, Ms. Cochran wrote a letter to shareholders highlighting the changes to the Board by stressing the experience of the incoming Chairman: "[ Michael Woodhouse] will be succeeded by Jim Bradford, a former NYSE company CEO...." As the largest shareholder of the Company, owning approximately 17.3% of the outstanding shares, we felt it was important for us to understand Mr. Bradford's performance as a purportedly former CEO of a public company, in view of his recent appointment as the incoming Chairman of the Board, as well as Ms. Cochran's statements underlining his position as "a former NYSE company CEO." However, a public search reveals that Mr. Bradford has never been CEO of a New York Stock Exchange company. In fact, we found that AFG Industries in 1988 was taken private, four years before Mr. Bradford was appointed CEO. The Company has claimed that Mr. Bradford was CEO of a NYSE company by way of SEC disclosures and statements from Ms. Cochran. The question for shareholders is whether Mr. Bradford was indeed CEO of a NYSE-listed company. If the answer is negative, then misrepresentations have been made in SEC filings, investor presentations, and a letter to shareholders. If Mr. Bradford has embellished his professional record, we believe this undermines his credibility. Therefore, the Board must determine whether Mr. Bradford should continue in his present capacity. After all, it is Mr. Bradford's, Ms. Cochran's and the full Board's responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the Company's public filings and statements. A Board must exercise diligence and care; such a material inaccuracy would be a failure on the part of the Board of Directors, especially the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, reflecting poorly on the entire Board's governance process.

No Alarm In OPEC Yet On Falling Oil Price
Gulf OPEC delegate says "wait and see"; African delegate says Brent to $90 might trigger meeting; Saudi supply policy not changed
August 13, 2011 9:14 by p.deleon
OPEC, source of more than a third of the world's oil, is unlikely to become concerned about a slide in oil prices unless Brent crude falls towards $90 a barrel, OPEC delegates said on Thursday.
Brent has fallen to $106 a barrel, down more than $20 from its peak this year of $127.02, on concern of slowing oil demand due to the European debt crisis and a weakening economic outlook for the United States.
Iran, holder of the OPEC presidency in 2011 and a leading price hawk in the group, said on Wednesday OPEC ministers could hold an emergency meeting if members started to feel anxious about falling prices.
But there is no prospect yet of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries holding a meeting before its next scheduled gathering in December or reducing production, delegates from two OPEC members said.
"The situation is very confused," said a delegate from one of OPEC's Gulf countries. "Demand is weakening and the economy is not encouraging."
"But Brent is still more than $100 a barrel. OPEC will wait and see."
OPEC's Gulf members Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are typically the 12-member organi s ation's most moderate on prices. Saudi Arabia holds most of its unused production capacity.
Riyadh and other Gulf countries unilaterally increased production after Iran and other members including African countries and Venezuela blocked a Saudi-led proposal at OPEC's last meeting in June to increase its output targets.
The supply boost has lifted OPEC output to more than 30 million barrels per day in July, its highest this year, according to OPEC estimates published on Tuesday, offsetting the loss of Libyan oil due to the conflict there.
At the same time as reporting the rise in output, OPEC and other forecasters this week have lowered forecasts for 2011 global oil demand growth citing the economic outlook.
Having provided most of the extra barrels, the Gulf countries would be the most likely within the group to reduce their output if they felt there was too much oil in the market.
A delegate from one of OPEC's African members, which opposed the Saudi proposal to boost output in June, also did not expect the group to react to falling prices yet.
"A price of $90 a barrel will be OK," said the delegate, referring to Brent crude. "If it goes below $90 and stays there, we may need to hold an emergency meeting. But that is not on the table now. We're still going to produce what we are producing at the moment because there is no need to reduce."
The delegate said a drop in the price of Brent to between $90 and $100 would not significantly impact most OPEC countries in terms of their revenue from oil sales.
OPEC delegates are the officials each OPEC member sends along with its oil minister to the group's meetings. They are not usually authorized to speak on the record.
The group has no collective price target and Iran's OPEC governor, Mohammad Ali Khatibi, speaking to Iran's official news agency IRNA on Wednesday, did not say what price threshold he believed would trigger an emergency OPEC meeting.
"OPEC members have not set any price level and they have different opinions, some say $80-90 per barrel is appropriate while others believe higher than $100 is appropriate," he said.
Saudi Arabia, after a 2008 oil price crash, named $75 as a fair price for oil — acceptable for producers and not so high as to damage consumer country economies and depress demand.
Subsequently though it has avoided naming a price target, saying it prefers simply to supply enough to meet demand.
Budgetary requirements in Saudi Arabia have risen after billions of extra social spending to prevent social unrest.
There is no sign yet that Saudi Arabia is rethinking supply. The kingdom has left shipments unchanged to Asian and European customers in September even after the fall in prices, industry sources said on Tuesday.

CPS has arts education in most schools, but access unequal: report
BY LAUREN FITZPATRICK Education Reporter July 9, 2014 12:56AM
Barbara Byrd-Bennett addresses the media following her speech at the City Club of Chicago May 28, 2013. | Jessica Koscielniak ~ Sun-Times

The Chicago Publics Schools has an arts teacher in almost all of its schools but still doesn't provide equal access to all students, according to report by a school arts advocacy organization.
Ingenuity Inc. identified a part-time or full-time arts teacher in about 94 percent of CPS-run schools during the 2012-13 school year. The lion's share of quality arts education is on the city's North and Northwest sides.

Speaking Parts Blu-ray Review
Reviewed by Dr. Svet Atanasov, July 21, 2013
Winner of Best Canadian Screenplay Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival, Atom Egoyan's "Speaking Parts" (1989) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Artificial Eye. There are no supplemental features on this release. In English, without optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Region-B "locked".
Canadian director Atom Egoyan's third feature film follows closely three very different characters. The first, Lance (Michael McManus, Paint Cans, Blissestraße), is an aspiring young actor who cleans the rooms in an expensive hotel somewhere in downtown Toronto. Lance is also a gigolo with a terrific reputation.
Lisa (Arsinee Khanjian, Next of Kin, Family Viewing) is a chambermaid in the same hotel. She is obsessed with Lance, which is why she frequently visits a local video store where she rents his films. Lance is only an extra in them and never utters a single word, but Lisa does not care. She is convinced that actors as enigmatic as Lance do not need lines to impress when they are in front of the camera.
When Clara (Gabrielle Rose, The Sweet Hereafter, Where the Truth Lies), an ambitious and idealistic screenwriter checks into the hotel, Lance decides that she is his ticket to success. He approaches her and then auditions for a part in her upcoming film. Later on, Lance also seduces Clara, but instead of making love they masturbate while watching each other via videophone.
Soon after, Lance, Lisa, and Clara undergo dramatic character transformations. Through a series of events, they all come to realize that their dreams have altered their perceptions of reality and alienated them. They promptly adjust their ambitions and goals and in the process discover that technology can destroy one's life just as quickly as it can improve it.
Speaking Parts is one of Egoyan's darkest and most thought-provoking films. Portions of it remind of Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape, which was also released in 1989, but the notable lack of dark humor pushes the film in a completely different territory. Instead of trying to entertain Speaking Parts essentially delivers a series of very unsettling warnings.
Speaking Parts has the unique atmosphere the majority of Egoyan's best films are known for - it frequently feels like the main characters visit two entirely different worlds, one being quite surreal, the other plain and ordinary. In the first Egoyan typically satirizes everything he feels is wrong with the world he lives in. For example, the fact that in this film's most bizarre sequences Lance, Lisa, and Clara achieve some emotional and physical satisfaction while staring at TV monitors clearly points to Egoyan's concern that technology is not only disrupting people's lives but altering how they connect and treat each other. Of course, a lot has changed since the early '90s and this frustration now feels somewhat dated because all of the bizarre behavior the video sex, video conversations and confessions, etc. is now largely seen as completely normal. The other big change is that most of it has been transferred from the small and lonely hotel and conference rooms to a much bigger place the Internet.
The film's visual style is quite extraordinary. The frequent blending of video and film footage makes it look as edgy as David Cronenberg's Videodrome. However, the different attitude towards sex makes Speaking Parts a drastically different film.
Some of the most atmospheric sequences in the film are enhanced by top-notch tracks composed by Mychael Danna. The music is soft, relaxing and very sexy. (Danna has collaborated with Egoyan on a number of different films. Arguably his best work is in the Canadian director's terrific The Adjuster).
Speaking Parts Blu-ray, Video Quality
Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Atom Egoyan's Speaking Parts arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Artificial Eye.
Depth and clarity are very pleasing. Excluding the video footage, contrast levels are also stable. The film's color-scheme is also dramatically improved - the prominent blues, in particular, now look healthy and vibrant; on the R1 DVD release Zeitgeist Films produced years ago they look disappointingly flat. There are no traces of problematic degraining corrections. Edge-enhancement is also not an issue of concern. Excluding some light compression artifacts which I noticed early into the film (inside the video store), compression is also very good. There are no serious stability issues to report in this review. Also, there are no large cuts, damage marks, stains, or warps. All in all, I can categorically state that this is the very best this low-budget film has ever looked on any home video format. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray release. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content).
Speaking Parts Blu-ray, Audio Quality
There is only one standard audio track on this Blu-ray release: Dolby Digital 2.0. For the record, Artificial Eye have not provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature.
It is unfortunate that this release does not come with a lossless track, but the lossy track is actually surprisingly good. In the sequences where Mychael Danna's music becomes prominent, depth is rather pleasing. Clarity is also good. Overall dynamic intensity, however, is quite limited, but this should not be surprising considering the low-budget nature of the film as well as the fact that dialog is limited.
Speaking Parts Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Most unfortunately, there are no supplemental features to be found on this Blu-ray release.
Speaking Parts Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Dark, stylish, and thought-provoking, Atom Egoyan's Speaking Parts is the type of film one can see multiple times and always discover something new in it. It is without a doubt one of the best North American independent films from the early '90s. Kudos to Artificial Eye for bringing Egoyan's films to Blu-ray. What a treat! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Earnings Roundup: Nicor, Alliant Energy
Among the earnings stories for Friday, Oct. 30, from AP Financial News:
NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) ¿ Natural gas distributor Nicor Inc. said its third-quarter profit jumped more than 10 times from the prior-year period levels, driven mainly by dramatically lower expenses for natural gas.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) ¿ Alliant Energy Corp. posted a third-quarter loss mainly due to a hefty special charge, and the company cut its full-year outlook.
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ A strong relaunch of a skin-care line and better-than-expected sales at airport stores helped Estee Lauder Cos. more than double its fiscal first-quarter profit, the company said, but it remained cautious on the upcoming holiday season.NEW YORK (AP) ¿ For the second time in two years, lumber and wood products producer Weyerhaeuser Co. dodged a quarterly loss by selling valuable properties. TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ¿ Electric and natural gas utility owner Teco Energy Inc. said its third-quarter profit rose 11 percent, driven by the cheaper cost of natural gas it sold, which more than offset declining sales.

text: Financial Information for Prospective Freshmen 2015-2016 U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents We are excited that you are considering an education at Drexel! We also know that it can be difficult to figure out what information you should know and what steps you need to take in the process. The instructions below have been created to take you through the process and to provide you with the information you need. Step 1: Learn the Financial Aid Basics There are many important factors to financing your education; the most essential is to understand personal finances so that you make the best decisions. Drexel recommends that prospective students and their parents review the information prepared by the National Endowment For Financial Education "40 Money Management Tips". This information is important to know no matter where you decide to go to school! Different Types of Financial Aid The first financial aid distinction you need to be aware of is the difference between Need-based and Non-need based Aid. Need-Based Aid - Financial Aid that is awarded to a student who has demonstrated he/she and the family require financial assistance to pay for their education. This is determined from the information you report on the CSS Profile and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (see Step 3). Non-Need Based Aid - Financial Aid that is awarded to a student regardless of whether he/she has demonstrated financial need. There are several different sources of financial aid, and it is important to know where your awards are coming from. Drexel University - Drexel offers financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants and incentive awards. Department of Education - The federal government offers grants, loans and work-study funding. State Higher Education Association - Each state has its own Higher Education Association which handles state financial aid. The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Association administers the state's gift-aid grant program. Private Organizations – Private organizations such as religious institutions and businesses sometimes offer scholarships and grants. Click on the links below to find view more detailed information about differnet types of aid: Net Price Calculator - Tool to estimate financial aid eligibility Scholarships for Prospective Freshmen Grants for Prospective Freshmen Federal Student Loans Financial aid for Veterans and their Dependents Step 2: Understanding the Cost of Attendance The cost of attendance is made up of two different costs: Direct and Indirect. Direct costs are those that Drexel will bill you for, while indirect costs are not charged to you by the university, but rather are costs that you may incur as a result of attending Drexel. Direct Costs Tuition Fees University Housing and Meal Plans (Room and Board) Indirect Costs Books and Supplies Computer Travel Personal Costs The charts below illustrates the cost of attendance based upon the standard fall, winter and spring quarter attendance for all freshmen students during the 2015-2016 academic year. Cost of Attendance for Students Living On-Campus Fall Quarter Winter Quarter Spring Quarter Total Tuition $15,462 $15,462 $15,462 $46,386 Fees $825 $790 $790 $2,405 Room * $2,894 $2,894 $2,894 $8,682 Board * $1,895 $1,895 $1,895 $5,685 Books ** Computer $670 $670 Travel $588 $588 $588 $1,764 Personal Costs $838 $838 $838 $2,514 Totals $23,172 $22,467 $22,467 $68,106 * Room and board costs are based on three quarters of average university housing and dining plans. ** Quarterly book costs vary depending upon program. You can view estimated tuition and fee information for all subsequent years based upon your specific program's plan of study at the Tuition and Fee Information for Prospective Students page. Cost of Attendance for Students Commuting from Home Fall Quarter Winter Quarter Spring Quarter Total Tuition $15,462 $15,462 $15,462 $46,386 Fees $825 $790 $790 $2,405 Meals * $1,895 $1,895 $1,895 $5,685 Books ** Computer $670 $670 Travel $588 $588 $588 $1,764 Personal Costs $838 $838 $838 $2,514 Totals $20,278 $19,573 $19,573 $59,424 * Meal costs are based on three quarters of average university housing and dining plans. ** Quarterly book costs vary depending upon program. You can view estimated tuition and fee information for all subsequent years based upon your specific program's plan of study at the Tuition and Fee Information for Prospective Students page. Step 3: Complete Financial Aid Applications There are two essential forms you will need to complete in order to be considered for financial aid: CSS Profile Drexel uses the CollegeBoard CSS Profile to determine eligibility for Drexel need-based aid. All students who are interested in need-based aid must complete a 2015-2016 CSS Profile so that the university has a complete understanding of your family's financial circumstances. To complete the 2015-2016 CSS Profile: Go to the Collegeboard/CSS Profile website. Select the "Fall 2015 or Spring 2016" sign-in at the bottom left of the web page. There is a fee required in order to complete the CSS Profile. The online application will automatically waive the fee for students who meet CollegeBoard's income requirements. Drexel's CSS Profile school code is 2194. Drexel does require the Noncustodial Profile for students whose biological or adopted parents are divorced or separated. If you are unable to provide information regarding your non-custodial parent please complete and submit the CSS Profile Non-Custodial Parent Waiver Request. Please note that Drexel will make a final determination regarding whether the circumstances you describe in your request are grounds to waive this requirement. The submission deadlines for the CSS Profile based upon the admissions method you have selected are listed below. Please note that Drexel will not review CSS Profiles submitted after the established deadlines. CSS Profile Deadlines Early Action 1 November 18, 2014 Early Action 2 December 16, 2014 Regular Decision January 28, 2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is used to determine your eligibility for federal and state student aid. Additionally, Drexel uses the information you provide on your FAFSA in conjunction with your CSS Profile to determine your eligibility for Drexel need-based aid. Both of these documents must be submitted in order to be considered for Drexel need-based aid. You can review the instructions for completing the 2015-2016 FAFSA and start the application any time after January 1, 2015 at the FAFSA website. Drexel's FAFSA school code is 003256. Drexel strongly encourages you to complete the FAFSA by March 2, 2015, in order to receive a comprehensive financial aid package in enough time to consider before the May 1 National Candidates' Decision Day. Private Scholarship Searches In addition to completing the CSS Profile and FAFSA, Drexel strongly recommends that you search for scholarships from private organizations and sources that can help you supplement the financial aid offered by Drexel, the Department of Education and your state. Drexel recommends you use one of the following search engines when looking for private scholarships: CollegeBoard Scholarship Search FastWeb FinAid FindTuition Step 4: Review your Financial Aid Award Notifications Financial aid award notifications are sent to students after they have been accepted to the university. The first financial aid award notification will be mailed to your permanent address on file and be available as a PDF on the Discover Drexel Portal. Any subsequent financial aid notification will be available as a PDF on the Discover Drexel Portal only.

Harry Wayne Casey, Miami musician extraordinaire and frontman of legendary disco outfit KC & the Sunshine Band, was none too pleased with New Times when we suggested that the "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" artist bore a striking resemblance to Rush Limbaugh in 2009. Of course, he didn't say anything until 2011, when he called former New Times staff writer Gus Garcia-Roberts a "punk writer" in an email. But that was 15 months ago; bygones are bygones. In fact, we're really stoked about Rush's... er, KC's upcoming gig at Hard Rock Live on Saturday. We're also totally digging the Sunshine Band's latest tune, "I Can't Get You Out of My Mind," a collaborative track with electro dance duo Bimbo Jones. "Lyrically, this is the best I have ever done," KC said on his website. "And musically, the different collaborations have brought new styles and variety to this project. It's provided a new excitement for the classics that influenced me and a renewed energy to the dance music which I started 40 years ago." Long live KC & the Sunshine Band.

Treasuries rose as the government was poised to sell $35 billion in two-year securities at the highest yield since July and reports showed declines in consumer confidence and home prices.
U.S. 30-year bonds advanced as the Federal Reserve purchased $1.97 billion in longer-term debt. Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross said continued credit expansion by central banks will produce accelerating global inflation and slower growth.
"You'll have reasonable demand for the auction; I don't think it'll be a problem," Thomas Roth, senior Treasury trader in New York at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities USA Inc., said in a telephone interview. "Those were very aggressive levels we were at, and we've come off them marginally."
Yields on 30-year bonds declined two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 3.32 percent at 12:17 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.125 percent securities due in February 2042 rose 14/32, or $4.38 per $1,000 face amount, to 96 13/32.
Benchmark 10-year note yields dropped four basis points to 2.21 percent. They touched 2.19 percent, the lowest level since March 14. Ten-year yields increased two basis points yesterday and have climbed 24 basis points in March in what would be the biggest gain since December 2010.
Yields on two-year notes in pre-auction trading were 0.350 percent, the most since July 29. The securities drew a yield of 0.310 at the last two-year auction on Feb. 21.
Bernanke on Accommodation
Treasuries fell yesterday as Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke buoyed investor risk appetite by saying accommodative policy is still needed to reduce joblessness.
"Further significant improvements in the unemployment rate will likely require a more rapid expansion of production and demand from consumers and businesses, a process that can be supported by continued accommodative policies," Bernanke said Arlington, Virginia.
Volatility declined yesterday for a fourth day. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's MOVE index, which measures Treasury price swings based on options, fell to 85.6. It reached 93.3 on March 20, the highest this year. The volume of Treasury trades handled through ICAP Plc, the biggest broker between banks, fell yesterday to about $159 billion, the lowest since Jan. 9.
Treasuries have lost 1.4 percent in 2012, their biggest quarterly decline since the last three months of 2010, according to indexes compiled by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
'Wake-Up Call'
"Today's trade is a follow-up from yesterday's Bernanke speech," Ray Remy, head of fixed income in New York at Daiwa Capital Markets America Inc., one of the 21 primary dealers that trade with the Fed, said in a telephone interview. It's "another wake-up call to the market that the head of the Fed has no interest in raising rates until such point as he sees the economy growing strongly."
U.S. debt securities fell on March 13, when the central bank increased its assessment of the economy while reiterating its pledge to keep borrowing costs low at least until late 2014.
Gross said in his monthly investment outlook posted on Pimco's website today that the world's bigger manager of bond funds favors shorter-duration and inflation-protected debt as well as dividend-paying equities with a preference for developing markets.
Inflation-linked Treasuries have lost 1.3 percent this month as of March 26, compared with 1.2 percent decline for Trasuries overall, according to Bank of American Merrill Lynch indexes. Inflation-protect U.S. government debt returned 14.1 percent last year while Treasuries gained 9.8 percent.
'Must Take Risk'
"When interest rates cannot be dramatically lowered further or risk spreads significantly compressed, the momentum begins to shift, not necessarily suddenly, but gradually yields moving higher and spreads stabilizing or moving slightly wider," Gross, the founder of Pimco, wrote. "In such a mildly reflationary world, unless you want to earn an inflation- adjusted return of minus 2 percent to 3 percent as offered by Treasury bills, then you must take risk in some form."
Today's Treasury sale is the first of three offerings this week totaling $99 billion in two-, five- and seven-year notes.
Investors at the last two-year note auction on Feb. 21 bid for 3.54 times the amount of available debt last month, versus the average of 3.53 for the past 10 auctions. Indirect bidders, the category of buyers that includes foreign central banks, purchased 35.8 percent, the most since November.
The government is scheduled to sell $35 billion of five- year notes tomorrow and $29 billion of seven-year securities on March 29.
Fed Purchase
The Fed bought Treasuries today due from February 2036 to May 2041 under a plan announced in September to cap borrowing costs by replacing $400 billion of shorter maturities in its holdings with longer-term debt.
Treasury investors in a weekly survey by JPMorgan Chase & Co. reduced expectations that prices of Treasuries would rise, increasing so-called neutral positions to the highest level since Feb. 21.
The percent of "net longs" dropped to 4 percent in the week ended yesterday, from 10 percent last week, while the number of outright neutrals in the firm's "all clients" survey rose to 66 percent, JPMorgan wrote in a report today.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities fell 3.8 percent from a year earlier, matching the median forecast of 32 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News, after decreasing 4.1 percent in December, a report from the group showed today in New York. Prices were little changed in January from the prior month, the best performance since July.
The Conference Board's confidence index dropped to 70.2 from a revised 71.6 reading in February that was higher than initially reported, figures from the New York-based private research group showed today. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a decrease to 70.

Cree LED Lighting Shines In The Hart Senate Office Building For Improved Savings
The Hart Senate Office Building, the third and largest office building serving the U.S. Senate, now features energy-efficient LED lighting by Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE). More than 150 Cree CR22™ architectural LED troffers were recently installed in the American Grill, Sundry Shop and main hallway of the Hart Building – delivering a 33 percent reduction in annual energy costs.
Cree ® CR22 linear luminaires replaced 130 CFL downlights and linear fluorescents throughout the Hart Building, updating the building's outdated ceiling grid. Designed to last 50,000 hours or more, Cree CR22 linear luminaires not only reduce energy consumption and lower utility expenses, but the new fixtures also minimize maintenance and operational costs for the Senate building.
"The CR series is truly a no-compromise alternative when upgrading fluorescent lighting," said Christopher Ruud, vice president global sales, lighting, Cree. "Delivering higher-quality light, longer life and greater energy savings than comparable fluorescent options, CR troffers are a natural fit for office settings like the Hart Senate Office Building."
A nine-story structure, the Hart Building has a distinctly contemporary appearance. When its construction was authorized by Congress, the architects sought to design a flexible, energy-efficient building that would accommodate Congressional business and the new technology of the modern Senate.Ruud continued, "Thoroughly modern when it was built, the LED lighting upgrade will allow the Hart Building's facility managers to realize sizeable economic benefits, while continuing the mission set forth by the building's original designers." About Cree Cree is leading the LED lighting revolution and making energy-wasting traditional lighting technologies obsolete through the use of energy-efficient, mercury-free LED lighting. Cree is a market-leading innovator of lighting-class LEDs, LED lighting, and semiconductor products for power and radio-frequency (RF) applications. Cree's product families include LED fixtures and bulbs, blue and green LED chips, high-brightness LEDs, lighting-class power LEDs, power-switching devices and RF devices. Cree products are driving improvements in applications such as general illumination, electronic signs and signals, power supplies and solar inverters.

OMS302, added to standard irrigation solution used during ophthalmological procedures, is Omeros' proprietary PharmacoSurgery™ product designed to maintain intraoperative mydriasis and reduce postoperative pain and irritation resulting from cataract and other lens replacement surgery. Omeros announced earlier this week that OMS302 met its co-primary endpoints in its second pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial. Now with positive data from both trials in the OMS302 Phase 3 clinical program, Omeros' objective is to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first quarter of 2013 and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) with the European Medicines Agency in mid-2013.
The AAO presentation information is as follows:
- Abstract Title: "A Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the Drug Product OMS302 Delivered Intracamerally in BSS During IOL Replacement Surgery."
- Poster (#P011) to be presented on Saturday, November 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 11, 2012 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Hall A. Steve Whitaker, M.D., Omeros' vice president, clinical development and chief medical officer, will attend the poster presentation on Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
About Omeros' OMS302 ProgramOMS302 is Omeros' product being developed for use during intraocular lens replacement (ILR) surgery, including cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange. OMS302 is a proprietary combination of ketorolac, an anti-inflammatory agent, and phenylephrine, a mydriatic (pupil dilating) agent. FDA-approved drugs containing each of these agents have been used in ophthalmological clinical practice for more than 15 years, and both are contained in generic, FDA-approved drugs.
ILR surgery involves replacement of the original lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens. These procedures are typically performed to replace a lens opacified by a cataract or to correct a refractive error of the lens (i.e., refractive lens exchange). OMS302 is added to standard irrigation solution used in ILR surgery and delivered intracamerally to maintain intraoperative mydriasis (pupil dilation), to prevent surgically induced miosis (pupil constriction), and to reduce postoperative pain and irritation. Maintenance of mydriasis is critical to the safety and surgical ease of the procedure. Intraoperative pupil constriction increases the risk of injury to intraocular structures and can substantially prolong surgical time.

The Borgias Review: Sex and Death 101by Dan Forcella at . Comments
Following four episodes that had me singing the praises of The Borgias, the fifth installment of season two - "The Choice" - was markedly worse in terms of episodic entertainment.
The hour continued to drag on and drag on until Catherina turned down Cesare and Pope Alexander's offer to come to Rome willingly. The best moment of the entire episode was probably watching Catherina toy with the Cardinal after pleasing him many a time in the bedroom.
Her simple way of skirting around the subject, and continuing to mention how much she was enjoying her duck, was irresistibly charming. The fact that we had just watched the two of them enjoy each other's company so much, and then do so again after dinner, made Catherina's eventual "no" that much more intriguing.
She was fun to watch, and could make for a great foe in the future. Unlike her cousin Giovanni, who was never interesting to see on screen and will be doing nothing in the future thanks to the amount of times Cesare stabbed him in the gut and neck.
That was just brutal. I understand that he was ridiculously angered by Catherina's decision, and ready for redemption on her cousin because of what he did to Lucrezia way back when, but this was a little much. Not for Cesare to enact, but for us to see. I'm not usually bad with gore, but this was such a cruel murder that it kind of got to me.
Like many actions before this, that fit of rage showed us once again what Cesare is capable of. Thankfully he got away from all of the guards in time. We may be able to see that anger come out a few more times.
What made the final few moments of the episode so exciting was that Cesare's vicious act and escape were intercut with the collapse of St. Peter's due to the lightning strike. The juxtaposition of pairing Cesare's horrific man-made act with the terrible act of nature, was pretty striking.
For as awful as Pope Alexander has been at times, he showed more love for the innocent than anyone during that catastrophe. If you still aren't rooting for Rodrigo Borgia after that scene, you had to be swayed a little. It was touching.
While the stories of Cesare, Pope Alexander and Micheletto with his lover made for a less than thrilling first 45 minutes in "The Choice," the ladies and Della Rovere might have helped to make sure that an incident like this doesn't happen in the back half of the season.
Lucrezia, Vanozza and Giulia didn't bring all that much to the table in their handling of the madam at the brothel, but the fact that they can now stronghold the Cardinals should make things interesting in the near future.
Similarly, Della Rovere continued to get closer to finding revenge after receiving the okay to go after Pope Alexander from Friar Savonarola, and then finding a volunteer to sacrifice himself for the good of the cause. The longer we wait to see the rematch of Della Rover and The Borgias, the more the fireworks will go off.
Although The Borgias wasn't up to par with its first four installments this week, the beginning of the season was so great, and the future looks so promising, that I am absolutely still on board with this series.
Also, it recently got picked up for a third season, so there is much more to look forward to. What did you all think of "The Choice? Do you agree that it wasn't on par with the first four episodes, or was it the best yet? Will Cesare pay for his act? And when will Della Rovere attempt his revenge?

One detail that I loved in this episode was during the aftermath of the collapse of the cathedral roof while Rodrigo Borgia was trying to save the altarboy, Cardinal Sforza was shown picking up the communion wafers... which makes perfect sense since he would consider it as the actual body of Christ and therefore necessary for saving. That and Cesare fulfilling his season 1 promise to Lucrezia :)
Boring, weak episode apart from the end. Good set-up with the brothel.
This is the best series. It has some history which I like.
Jeremy Irons is absolutely awesome as Pope Alexander.
Excellent comments. This was not my favorite episode but the performance by Irons and Arnaud in this episode is great. We host live chats on Sunday's with several of the cast members and they are all wonderful and so nice to the fans. I would love for you all to come chat and ask questions for the cast to answer. We love to promote TVFanatic on the Borgias fan wiki because of the fantastic articles and fan statements are wonderful! http://theborgias.wetpaint.com follow us on twitter @TheBorgiasWiki
Best episode this season! Loved the interplay between Caterina and Cesare and Michelotto's graveyard tryst was positively wonderful! The ceiling crashing in proved that Rodrigo may be a manipulative murderous bastard but he has more compassion than the rest of his congregation. Visually, the series continues to be utterly stunning.
I also disagree with many of the comments made about this episode being not as good as the others. Paola to me was the slowest but was still great. I thought this as is every episode of the Borgias is great. I am so glad to have it coming back for a 3rd seasons. There is still so much to tell and do not be surprised about a 4th season. Neal Jordan is so good at this series. Jeremy Irons and Francois Arnaud are magnificent. Sean Harris is great as Michelleto. Holliday Graingier is wonderful. This show cannot miss.
(continued) I wouldn't be so dissatisfied with this filler episode if Showtime were to give us 22 episodes per season. Since there are only 10 episodes this year, I feel like the screen time could have been spent better elsewhere. We saw a lot of character development for Micheletto, and he's not even a Borgia family member. What about a mention of what happened to Gioffrey and Sancia? Were they living in Naples when King Charles invaded it and killed her half-brother, Prince Alfonso? And they are seriously underusing Juan's character, as he's been MIA for the past 2 episodes. I understand that a TV show does not have the budget to show Juan's lavish wedding, but could we at least see his new wife? It would have been nice to see a glimpse of Juan's experiences with his new in-laws, who happen to be the Spanish Royal family. The Pope married him off to forge a crucial alliance with the powerful Spanish rulers, not because Juan killed Lucrezia's lover. :-(
I agree that this was the weakest episode of the season so far. I won't say it was boring because the cathedral's roof collapsing was truly terrifying. Usually, I think Pope Alexander is selfish, but he really semed to care about the innocent children trapped under the rubble. Excellent acting by Jeremy Irons, and I would like to see an Emmy nomination for him. The rest of the epsiode, however, was not up to par. Cesare and Michelletto's visit to Catherine Sforza seemed like a waste of time, like the writers were trying to stretch out her storyline. Oh, look it's numerous love scenes with Cesare for all his fangirls out there! Oh, no Catherine played him and she won't be kneeling before the Pope after all. Oh, dear. Micheletto lies to his mother because he's an assasin, not a healer, etc. The only good thing to come from that trip was that Cesare finally killed off Giovanni Sforza, who was one of the least likeable characters on this show. :-( I wouldn't be so dissatisfied with this "filler" episode if Showtime were to give us 22 episodes per season like TV series on other networks. Since there are only 10 episodes this year, I think the screen time could have been better spent elsewhere. For example, we saw a lot of character development for Micheletto, who is not even a "Borgia" family member. No mention of Gioffrey and Sancia at all this season? Were they supposed to be in Naples when King Charles took over and killed her half-brother, Prince Alfonso? And the writers are really underusing Juan's character. He has been MIA for the past 2 episodes, and I miss the rivalry between Juan and Cesare. I know Juan is supposed to be in Spain, but it would have been nice to see a glimpse of his experience with his new in-laws. I realize that it is too expensive for a TV show to film Juan's lavish wedding ceremony, but I would have liked to meet his new wife and a few of members of the Spanish royal family.
I too agree with your assessment. The Borgias is one of my all time favorite shows with its magnificent ability to combine history, with amazing characterization, dialogue, subtlety, and of course, scenery, and yet, with this episode, I felt my attention wandering -the first! The minor shocks like the introduction to Micheletto's sweet, yet naive (and possibly insane) mother, his admittance to killing his own father, his lover, and the destruction of St. Peters were not enough to save this episode in my opinion. I also love the women in this show (save Ursula, but she's gone now, so hurrah) and felt unmoved by their actions. Perhaps it'll take another episode for me to see the careful web they have spun? As a sidenote, I have no idea how anyone could NOT root for Pope Alexander, and I truly, truly hate Della Rovare. Thank you so much for this review! :] I can't wait for next week's episode! Catherina Sforza has amazing cajones...but she needs to watch out!
really??? for me it was the best episode yet!!! I'm not suere why, but it was intriguing! I rather have the characters play one another, and have subtle ways, be cunning, than having them say "oh" let be witted!" like 2x04, this time they show it, so there was no need to say it!
And cesare is finally transforming into the historical character!!!
Oh! and the Micheletto affair really made sense, and it took us back to the firsts episodes where he had cesare whip him

How is your green wire connected? Have you "carefully" adjusted the gyro's gain pot? Most users have it between the 9:00 & 10:00 position.

I'm having to add quite a bit of "up" trim. It's been this way ever since I got mine. Is this normal? Should I add a bit of weight to the rear arms?

I am having trouble again with the GU344 on my second 330X-S. My first one arrived with a defective GU344 which was replaced by Empire. That 330 was lost and replaced by a second one. The build was uneventful and the esc's were programed individually and the rotational direction checked. The GU344 was mounted per the instructions and I have an FY 20A mounted next to it, which is not connected for the initial flights, but they do not touch and there is no lead induced vibration. I have plugged the green lead into port 5 on the GU344 and set the unit in cruise mode. I set the initial gain at 90 degrees from 0. I cannot get the 330 to hover, it will only flip. I am at the end of my experience after setting up two of these quads. Do you have any suggestions to help me? Thanks!

Hi There;
My green wire is connected to channel 5 on my Futaba 9Chp receiver. When I flip the gear switch, the gyro light goes from green to red...so I would assume that it is working correctly?? I have tried a number of gyro settings and the pot, does not seem to make a difference when it comes to the wobbling of the unit. The sweet spot does appear to be about 9:00 on the gyro as you have indicated.
Any suggestions ?

I do not have the green wire plugged into my receiver, just plugged back into the extra slot on the 334 unit. I turned gain on the pot up until I had visible wobble and then turned it down until the wobble went away.

You might try moving the battery. Marking the center of the battery in each axis with a sharpie is not a bad idea.
I've seen some qaui's with camera installed in the front (unbalanced). Not sure how these fly without massive trim adjustments.

I have mine hooked up as per directions, with the green wire on channel 5 of my receiver and the gain at half way. I've tried unplugging the green wire completely but mine refuses to fly this way.
With it plugged in and the switch so that the red light is on it flies very well. If I unplug it, the quad flips over. If I turn the gain off from my tx it also does not want to fly.
(actually I just found out that it does fly with the green light on, but it's not quite as steady)

I might have a solution for you! Please double check the dip switches on your GU-344 Gyro. Check out the picture below... If you look closely, there's two insignias on the right side of the dip switches; one for "X" mode and one for "+" mode. Double check that your switches are both 'up' in the "X" mode.
I had the same thing happen on the first quad I built. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why the thing kept fighting and flipping over. It was like I didn't even have time to react before it just flipped. Then I started fiddling around with those switches and discovered what the "X" and "+" meant.
Let me know if that helps out any!

For Dwayne's question, I was going to bring up the following:
- Gain: GorillaBob's explanation is excellent. Turn up the gain until it starts to wiggle, then back it off slowly to your personal prefence
- Center of Gravity: Make sure your quad is as neutraly balanced as possible (in the dead-center of the machine).
- Vibration: The GU-344 is very sensitive to vibration. I just saw a thread where a guy lost the sponge tape from the kit, and just double-sided taped the gyro to the frame. It did not fly well for long!!! He found the tape, re-secured the gyro and all is well.

Every quad seems to have it's own unique personality. Believe it or not, you can add sub-trim via your radio with no detrimental effect! I would just neutralize your trims now, and add a little sub-trim until it can hold itself there for a few seconds.
Keep in mind that your "hands off" trim may change every time you plug in the quad... it just depends on how level you have the quad when you plug it in and let the gyro initialize.

I appreciate all the tips. I did two things; one, I flipped the dip switches an made sure that I was in X mode and Cru, then two, I reprogramed the ESC's for a third time. I am not sure which it was but the 330 is now flying stable and capable of hands off for 10 sec. I think that the switches may have moved slightly during transport and resetting them may have been the key, but who knows. I trimmed it out a little and reduced the D/R by 10%. I am now going to add my FY 20A and start flying on my 3S packs. If that works well, I will start to add my video equipment back on. I would love to go out and fly under the lights tonight but the bears have been really active this year and I really don't want to fend off a 400 pound black bear with my 330. ;-)

Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
When you get a deal like RIG that's tight as a drum that tells you there's plenty of oil capital looking for a home.
There's a ton of bargains. Schlumberger (SLB) and Ensco (ESV) are two owned by Action Alerts PLUS. But I think any one of these could do well on the next European-related dip. I put that in because we haven't had one of those dips as of late, but when they occur, they are so devastating that you have to be able plug in something you really want at that moment.
I think the oils and the oil services represent the best buys in this market.
Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, is long SLB and ESV.
