The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Colombia militia scandals touch 2 top ministers
16 May 2007 04:51:14 GMT
Source: Reuters
By Luis Jaime Acosta
MEDELLIN, Colombia, May 15 (Reuters) - A scandal tying some of Colombian
President Alvaro Uribe's allies to paramilitaries touched two top
ministers on Tuesday when an ex-militia commander charged he met with them
before his illegal group demobilized, witnesses at his legal testimony
The accusations could fan a scandal so far involving the arrests of 13
lawmakers on charges they colluded with the militia bosses, who committed
atrocities in a conflict with guerrillas before they reached a peace
agreement with Uribe.
Salvatore Mancuso, the now-jailed commander of the AUC paramilitary
movement, made his charges during testimony as part of the deal in which
militia leaders must give full confessions of crimes in exchange for short
prison terms.
Reporters were barred from proceedings at the Medellin attorney general's
But judicial sources and witnesses representing victims said Mancuso
testified he met with Vice President Francisco Santos and Defense Minister
Juan Manuel Santos from 1996 to 1997 before they were in government and
before Uribe became president.
The Santoses are cousins and belong to one of Colombia's most influential
families. At the time of the meetings alleged by Mancuso, the vice
president was a columnist at the Santos family-owned El Tiempo newspaper
and the defense minister was a private citizen.
Mancuso testified Francisco Santos met with paramilitary commanders to
talk about the idea of a militia group to fight guerrillas in the Bogota
area, Carlos Ivan Lopera, a lawyer for victims who was allowed to attend
the testimony, told Reuters.
"Mancuso said Pacho (Francisco) Santos was presented with a
countersubversive project on three occasions and that he appeared to favor
it," Lopera said.
Lopera said Mancuso testified that Juan Manuel Santos also met with
paramilitaries to talk over an alliance to defeat then-President Ernesto
Samper. Samper governed Colombia from 1994 to 1998 but faced a crisis over
charges his campaign received funds from drug traffickers.
Uribe, who receives hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. aid each year
to help quell Colombia's insurgency, said nothing about the charges during
a late-night televised speech.
A spokeswoman for the vice president's office said it would not comment.
But the defense minister said late on Tuesday he met the paramilitaries
and guerrillas in 1997 in an effort to broker peace. He said those facts
were well documented.
"If this is the 'truth' that Mancuso wants to reveal, then people are
going to be disappointed," Juan Manuel Santos said in a statement.
The scandal involving paramilitaries has fueled criticism of Uribe at home
and in the United States, where Democratic lawmakers are debating whether
to approve a free-trade deal and renewed military funding for Colombia.
The paramilitaries began in the 198Os as self-defense groups set up by
rich farmers seeking protection from leftist rebels where the state's
presence was weak.
Rights groups have long said collusion between the army and militias was
an open secret and worry that paramilitaries have kept their criminal
networks intact.
Uribe says the arrests of lawmaker allies show justice is working and that
he welcomes all investigations to purge his government of criminal
influence. Rights groups say the scandal has unearthed the depth of
collusion among militias and politicians and some elements in the armed
Mancuso, who has admitted to murders and massacres in the name of
counterinsurgency, promised his testimony starting on Tuesday would reveal
the identities of all politicians, business leaders, military officers and
even multinational companies who collaborated with his illegal
U.S. banana giant Chiquita Brands International recently pleaded guilty to
charges a local unit paid protection money to paramilitaries. It agreed to
a settlement of $25 million in the United States.

growing scandal
Court arrests Colombian lawmakers in growing scandal
15 May 2007 00:54:35 GMT
BOGOTA, May 14 (Reuters) - Colombian authorities on Monday ordered the
arrest of five lawmakers and 15 former politicians and businessmen for
with paramilitary death squads in a growing scandal entangling allies of
President Alvaro Uribe. Uribe faces pressure from critics at home and
Democrats in the U.S. Congress who are skeptical about approving a free
trade deal and a military aid package because of suspected ties between
pro-government lawmakers and the militias. Eight lawmakers have already
been jailed on charges they cooperated with paramilitary bosses who
carried out massacres, murders and kidnappings in the name of combating
guerrillas until they reached a 2003 peace deal with Uribe. Authorities
said the names of five current congressmen and the others appeared on a
document signed with paramilitary leaders in 2001 at the Santa Fe de
Ralito militia stronghold after the commanders took control of swathes
of countryside. "The court's penal chamber has issued warrants for the
five lawmakers accused of signing the Ralito pact. The charge is
conspiring to commit an aggravated crime," Supreme Court magistrate
Alfredo Gomez told reporters. The attorney general's office said it also
issued warrants for 15 others, including former mayors, governors and
local cattle ranchers. Most of the accused had been arrested by late
Monday. One was allowed to remain free because of his old age. Uribe's
government has received millions in U.S. aid to help fight rebels who
are still battling a four-decade-old conflict fueled by the cocaine
trade. The rebels have been pushed back in the jungles and Uribe has
negotiated the disarming of 30,000 paramilitaries. Rights groups have
long denounced collusion among the paramilitaries, political leaders and
army officers, but the extent of the ties becomes clearer as
investigators probe militia commanders about crimes as part of the peace
deal. Uribe says the arrests are proof Colombia's institutions are
working and demanded authorities support the investigation. But rights
groups say the militia bosses have kept their criminal networks alive
and remain influential. Top paramilitary commander Salvatore Mancuso has
promised this week to give evidence about politicians, army commanders,
business leaders and foreign companies who he says collaborated with the
warlords before their demobilization. U.S. banana giant Chiquita Brands
International <CQB.N> recently pleaded guilty to charges a local unit
paid protection money to paramilitaries and agreed to a settlement of
$25 million. Under their accord, paramilitary commanders must give full
confessions of crimes from kidnapping to drug-trafficking and compensate
their victims in order to benefit from sentences of up to eight years
and avoid extradition to the United States. But the government said on
Monday it was probing a report of recorded telephone conversations of
paramilitary bosses organizing crime from their jail cells -- which if
proven could mean they will face justice in the United States, where
they are classified as a drug-smuggling terrorist group.

The Applied Magic 5-Target DVD Rackmount Duplicator gives you the same replication power of Applied Magic's other duplicators, but with the added durable toughness of an industrial machine. Developed to be rackmounted, this 5-target duplicator formats at speeds of up to 52x for CD-R and 24x for DVD+/-R.
The included 250 GB hard drive is perfect for transferring and storing large image files, and the SATA cabling system dispels less heat while transferring faster and more reliable streams of data.
The unit includes support for a number of disc types, including lesser utilized formats like Multi-session Photo CD™, CD-I, Video CD, CD-ROM XA, & CD Extra (CD Plus). It even supports recording discs as diverse as 8cm mini DVD and CDs.
If you have duplications needs, but limited server space, this rackmount duplicator can help you out on both ends. Its excellent design and configurability are perfect for storing this with your other rackmounted hardware, and the speed and reliability will make duplicating and backing up your essential data a breeze.
- Rackmount Saves Space
- If you are under square footage restraints, then you know that rackmounts for servers are common in most offices since they help to maximize small spaces. This unit can easily be placed alongside any other rackmounted equipment you have.
- Speed
- 24x speed for DVD duplicating is blazing fast, and the unit stands up to the task admirably. When duplicating other formats - like CDs - the rate of transfer is even higher.
- Room to Move
- The included 250 GB hard drive is perfect for transferring or archiving large image files. It is equivalent to storing almost 50 single-layer DVDs in one place.
- Durable Industrial Design
- The sturdy casing is impressive on the outside - but on the inside, the SATA infrastructure ensures that heat is minimized, and data is reliably transferred with minimal loss. This keeps the duplicator housing cool, and adds life to the back end of the unit.

For those not familiar, the Southern Bell accent is the kind of accent you might here from upper class white folk in the Deep South. It's almost gone, now, but maybe still exists sparsely. Most commonly, you hear it in movies set in the old South.
And who is to say that the "Southern Bell" accent is the original original? It might have evolved from something else. Like you rightly said, change is not new. Just accept it.

Re:Misleading summary? (134 comments)
But, as Seinfeld might ask, then what's the deal with the pending Google patent that describes capturing wireless data packets
The deal is that the patent describes capturing and analysing wireless data packets to extract the IP adress alongside GPS coordinates in order to enhance Google's IP geolocation accuracy. The "mistake" that they owned up to is actually dumping and storing all packets, not just the external IP address. Those are two different things.
In fact, when the story broke out about wi-fi, I suspected it as much. They are sinifing all the IP packaets! To those who say, if you don't want it sniffed, then encypt it or it's on public property and everyone can sniff it or whatever, lets face it, not everyone has the ability to do that. And even if it's not encrypted, does not mean everyone has a right to read it. It's supposed to be my traffic. It's akin to llistening to my wireless calls by capturing wireless traffic that is supposed to be meant for me!
By the way, crying foul when someone captures your unencrypted data is not like getting watched by someone when you stand naked in your window. There is a difference. The watching someone naked bit does not require effort on the part of you eyes. It just happens naturally when you are just wondering around (unintentionally). On the other hand, Google actively drove around the country, intentionally to capture data. It's shady to say the least. And EVIL.

It's a badware. It does not matter to the end user what it does!

Cosatu reaffirms support for ANC
Comment on this storyCape Town - Cosatu president S'dumo Dlamini on Tuesday re-affirmed the tripartite alliance with the African National Congress and the SA Communist Party.
"It is the Congress of SA Trade Unions' position and a congress resolution to support the ANC. The ANC is not a class enemy. How many times must we repeat that?" he said at the joint National Education, Health, and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) shop steward council in Cape Town.
"The SACP is not our class enemy... These are our allies."
He called on workers to defend Nehawu, its gains made in the liberation movement and ultimately, to work hard to defend the alliance.
He said Cosatu sometimes failed to identify individuals who were working against it because the organisation was full of "love and trust".
Cosatu would not change this loving character but would analyse situations more carefully in future.
Dlamini said the congress would continue to deal with its problems in the boardroom and warned members not to be confused by what was being conveyed in the media.

Ghostiet's GOTY 2013 Blog Post No One Will Care About
By Ghostiet 14 Comments
2013 was a real fucker of a year on pretty much all fronts but one: video games. For vidya, 2013 has been fucking stellar. If every year capping of a generation of hardware and games is this good, then man, I can't wait until we say goodbye to the Xbox One and Playstation 4. 2013 in gaming brought me titles that I can easily call one of my favorite ones of the entire generation and at least one that I can now call one of my most favorite games ever. And thanks to the beauty/asshattery of Steam, I can't even say I played all the worthwile games of 2013.
Alright, let's do this.
10. Gunpoint
One of the most cleverly written and designed games I've played this year. Gunpoint is funny and smart, with its hilarious achievements and possible conversation options, also having solid ground to stand on gameplay-wise. The way it subtly encourages you to do different stuff and favor unorthodox approach to missions makes it a unique experience to me – most of the time, I'm one pragmatic motherfucker in video games, to the point where my second playthrough is always the same. Here, I wanted to see what happens if I do something differently. And when the game rewarded me with an achievement when I accidentally smacked myself with a door, it marked the first time I ever gave a shit about Steam achievements.
9. Shadow Warrior
When playing Shadow Warrior, I kept thinking about Duke Nukem Forever. Because Flying Wild Hog's remake is what that game was supposed to be. It mocks how utterly ridiculous and out of touch the archetypical '90s action hero is in this day and age, but also celebrates him, by making Lo Wang a nerdy Jack Burton of "Big Trouble in Little China". It's an homage that never feels pathetic or pandering, showing that this sort of character can still be done well. Oh, and the game is a fucking blast, too. Mowing down hordes of enemies with your sword is fun, while the few guns the game has manage to feel fresh, since they pack a solid punch, but never distract you from the meat of the gameplay – slashing demons with a katana.
8. BIT.TRIP Presents… Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
Runner2 is one of the most positive, fun games I've played this entire year. It's tough as nails, but in a way that isn't sickening – I never felt like the game is tearing away bits and pieces of my soul, even during the most wall-banging moments. It's also full of charm, with its warm graphics, great music and Charles Martinet's awesomely alliterative narrations. I mean, it has a fucking dance button. It's no hug button, but still pretty damn good.
7. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
I'm cheating on this one a bit, but since the re-release came out in 2013, I'm fine with that.
Dragon's Dogma is a deeply fucked game. Some things (the affinity system, checkpoints, sidequests) are so baffling that it seems like the game was made by aliens trying to imitate human thought processes. But on the other hand, it has a fascinating universe, great combat and a sense of wonder and exploration that few games have. And absolutely the best boss battles this year. Fucking A. Climbing on top of a chimera and stabbing the shit out of it was fun the first time and the tenth time I've done it. Once 2014 comes, I'm rerolling into PS+ just to spend more time in this weird, weird game, since I didn't even touch the Dark Arisen content.
6. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
The funniest game that came out this year. Blood Dragon had me at "hello", that is, when it introduced Spider and his amazing way of saying "motherfuckers". And it didn't stop there. The game rolled out a sidequest referencing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, an out of the blue speech on the video game violence craze, the world's greatest sex scene, the announcer from Mortal Kombat and much, much more. It's just fucking bananas in the greatest ways and I never felt like the self-referential humor/homage overstayed its welcome. It also refines the gameplay of Far Cry 3 by being simply better paced – the original game dragged for a bit too long, while Blood Dragon ends right where it should.
5. Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
Best co-operative experience I've had this entire generation, hell, probably in games, period. Monaco is a superbly designed and made game, period. From its interesting premise and easy to get into mechanics, through the challenging gameplay, to the great story, it's been an immensely fun ride. Even when playing through it a second time, playing with people was an amazing thrill. Something always goes to shit, so you scramble around, trying to save your friends, or trying to utilize the commotion to your advantage. And when things go right, there is a true sense of fulfillment.
4. Grand Theft Auto V
GTA V is probably one of the most ambitious games I've seen. It has an enormous, rich and lively world, a lot of shit to do and a story that is too epic in scale for its own good. As someone who didn't care for GTA IV in any way, GTA V is a return to form by Rockstar North. However, despite all of its great parts, V seems more like a proof of concept. But that's also why it seems so great – there's a big promise to everything. So even though I don't want to return to Los Santos right now, once GTA Online gets more content and some single player DLC pops out, I'll be back in for more. Because I want more of this game.
3. Saints Row IV
You shouldn't spoil Saints Row IV for yourself. The amount of balls-out stuff that happens should be experienced fresh. It's a dumb, dumb game, in the best ways possible. Instead of reining it in and trying to make it a more focused experience, Volition took the plunge into crazy. Every mission is a set piece, everything is tailored for you to get the biggest mileage out of your stupid, overpowered abilities. It's nuts. And it's really, really funny. Fuck Warren Spector. This is what I want. This is what we all should want.
2. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Normally, a sufficient justification for this game being so high should just be "it's fucking pirates", but for the sake of this argument, let's pretend that you don't have a soul and the very thought of a well-made, epic pirate game isn't enough to wet your willy. Assassin's Creed IV is, in many ways, the same sort of improvement to the series that II was. Ubisoft removed all the shitty things that III was boggled by, on top of making everything bigger and better. The Assassin's Creed formula is expanded even more, but a completely new and big system based around sailing on the high seas transforms it into its own thing. Add to that a bleak, intriguing story with one of gaming's best protagonists – the deeply flawed, human Edward Kenway, who finally manages to strike the morally ambiguous promise of the series' overarching plot.
Hell, it made me hate Assassin's Creed III for not being this game.
1. The Last of Us
Some things are just tailored for a specific person. Everything works out in your favor – your favorite director is doing it, it has your favorite setting, it's an adaptation of your favorite book, it's your beloved band releasing an album after 10 years of silence.
I've been waiting on The Last of Us since that VGA reveal trailer. I knew I will like it. There was no fucking way that game could be bad, because it would break my heart.
And it delivered. It gave me a dark, well-crafted and justified post-apocalyptic world. It gave me a set of well-written and acted characters, including Joel, one of gaming's best, darkest characters. It gave me engaging stealth/action gameplay. It gave me thrills and stressed the shit out of me. It gave me an atmospheric, touching road-movie story. It ended perfectly. And I felt fulfilled. A lot of games don't end, there always has to be a hint of something else coming, but The Last of Us felt like a complete whole. It didn't feel too short, it didn't feel too long, it never dragged for me, always moving at a steady pace. It just had everything I wanted out of it. And when I played it again after a couple of months, I still liked what it was doing.
It was simply made for me. And this is why it's my game of the year.
Honorable mentions:
When I heard about the basic premise of Gone Home, I became wary of the game. I'm liberal, but I also hate it when someone expects everyone to immediately fall in line and immediately agree with every minority, shoving its glurgy messages up your ass. Gone Home's most impressive feat is that it doesn't do that. Fullbright managed to craft a story that's smart, touches a sensitive subject and provides plenty of valid interpretations of the characters and their motivations, without ever giving the player a definitive answer or telling him what he should think. It also does something that few games really do with their narrative and gameplay. Stories need conflict, but in video games, that conflict has been usually a higher pressure, higher caliber one, outside of few outliners that served more as metacommentaries. Gone Home is not a revolution, but it's so far the best example of how to do this kind of stuff.
BioShock Infinite had the impossible task of trying to be as culturally significant to the medium as the original BioShock was in front of itself. Fortunately, Levine & Co. ignored that. Infinite stands on its own legs, without the legacy of its predecessor dragging it down. While gameplay-wise it didn't really excite me, since none of it stuff lived up to all those trailers, the story is something else. It's an impressive feat to write a cohesive, coherent tale of obsession, love, sacrifice with alternate realities and parallel universes mixed into all of that, with a little sprinkle of some metacommentary on the process of creating art without the whole thing falling apart. Not many books and movies managed that, let alone video games, but Infinite pulls it off with gusto.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
During the first 20 minutes of Metal Gear Rising, I've heard Raiden wax poetical about samurais, I've seen a burly Texan dude kill an African leader quipping "give war a chance!", I grabbed a Metal Gear by its blade and played with it like a ragdoll, a Russian named Boris yelled at me through my CODED and I got my arm chopped off by a Mexican ronin. Considering that the game marries the respective brands of crazy of Kojima and Platinum, that this game is going to be really fucking stupid in the best way possible was pretty much a given. Platinum crafted an exciting, ridiculous and fun action game that starts at 10 and then slowly goes to 11. Even though you can tell that the last two "proper" levels of the game were done in a hurry, it doesn't really matter. MGR is a fun, dumb game.
I wish I discovered this game earlier, because it would have a secured spot in the top 10. Everyone with even a vague interest in game design should play Toki Tori 2+, since the way the game teaches you its mechanics without ever explaining them outright is just magical. I'm not too deep in the game yet, but what I've played was so impactful that I had to put it in here.
Divekick is a perfect party game. It's really easy to pick up and play, literally everyone can be good at it and it's emotional and exciting every time you play it. And since in some magical, satanic way the developers managed to give the mechanics actual depth, despite being controlled with two buttons, you'll want to play it again and again. What was supposed to be a five minute distraction ended up being a fucking great way to spend time with friends.
Papers, Please, alongside Gone Home, showed everyone this year that you can make a video game about anything and still make it interesting, if not exciting. The story of an Eastern Bloc border checkpoint officer should have been a painstakingly dull affair on all fronts, but it wasn't. In fact, it managed to be one of the most human narratives in video games, while having barely any direct narrative. It was also one suspenseful game to play. Anyone whose hand was shaking scrambling for the gun locker key will know what I'm talking about.

Could someone let me know, do we post our goals and how we are doing with them, listed as credits? I have struggled with consistency, the gain and lose and regain cycle, sugar addiction, and binge eating. I am hoping the tools in this book will help me make the process more conscious, make me more aware of the freedoms and choices I have and the things that I can do, and allow me to gain the knowledge and control I need to access my ability to lose the excess weight and then maintain. Thanks in advance for any info. :)

Monarch butterfly numbers are at an all time low and many pollinators are declining as well. The widespread planting of herbicide tolerant corn and soybean lines, intensive farming, and the ethanol mandate have led to a rapid loss of habitats for monarchs, and many species of bees and other pollinators. This loss of habitat threatens the monarch migration and all the species dependent on the services of pollinators to provide the fruits, nuts, seeds and foliage they feed on. Monarchs and pollinators need our help. By planting milkweeds, the host plants for monarch caterpillars, and nectar plants for adult monarchs and pollinators you can help maintain the monarch migration and sustain the pollinators whose pollinating services maintain our ecosystems.
Last year we commissioned the production of 25,000 milkweed plugs of some 15 species. It was a gamble (see monarchwatch.org/blog/2013/06/the-milkweed-gamble) but this program was wildly successful and we distributed 21 thousand of the plugs in late spring and later in the fall. We have a bigger target this season. We are presently overwintering 29 thousand milkweed plugs. These will be grown out for distribution early in the spring. We have started the production of another 30 thousand plugs for distribution in May and early June. Those not sold in the spring will be available for planting in September and October. Below you will find a list of states with the milkweed species available for each state. The numbers of plugs are robust for some species and low for others. So, if you are interested in some of the less common species, please plan on ordering soon.
The milkweed plugs come in flats of 32 and are generally 3-5 inches high at the time of delivery. The flats cost $66 each with shipping via UPS Ground Service included. The minimum order is one flat and an invoice will be mailed to you before the plants have shipped. Three flats can be shipped in one box. Please contact us about price breaks if you are ordering more than 6 flats.
If you would like to place a milkweed order, please email with your contact information (name, address, email, and phone number) and the number of flats you would like of each species.
Our mission is milkweed restoration and to that end we only ship plants to ecological regions from which the seeds were obtained. This project has been supported by a large number of volunteers who have supplied seeds of many milkweed species from most areas of the country. There are some gaps, the biggest being the Southeast where it has been difficult to obtain seeds. If we don't have milkweeds available for your area, please take advantage of the new vendor listing here in the Monarch Watch Milkweed Market (download vendor PDF file). More than 200 vendors that sell native milkweeds in various regions of the country are currently listed.
If you can't find milkweed for your area, but are interested in acquiring milkweed plants in the future, please email us at . This will help us to plan for our milkweed plug production goals next year. Since we are dedicated to returning milkweeds to areas from which the seed originated, we may ask you to help acquire seeds of milkweed for your area.
We are working with Applied Ecological Services, a restoration company that specializes in the production of native plants. They have produced excellent milkweed plugs for us for several years. The flats are shipped from their greenhouse in Baldwin, KS. Orders from California will be shipped from a nursery in that state. All communications involving orders and shipping should be directed to us here at Monarch Watch at .
In order to keep many species in the Milkweed Market available, we rely on local seed collections from across the country. We have created a Milkweed Regions & Seed Needs section of our Bring Back the Monarchs program. We really need your help to keep this program going! We welcome any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the new Monarch Watch Milkweed Market. Please feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you for your interest and support!
Milkweed species available (only distributing to California at this time):
R. G. Bailey, Ecoregions of the United States, USDA Forest Service, revised 1994.
Species list with common names:
Asclepias amplexicaulis (Clasping milkweed) Asclepias asperula (Antelope Horn Milkweed, Spider Milkweed) Asclepias exaltata (Poke Milkweed) Asclepias fasicularis (Mexican Whorled Milkweed, Narrowleaf Milkweed) Asclepias hirtella (Green Milkweed) Asclepias incarnata (Swamp Milkweed) Asclepias oenotheroides (Sidecluster Milkweed, Zizotes Milkweed) Asclepias perennis (Aquatic milkweed) Asclepias speciosa (Showy milkweed) Asclepias syriaca (Common Milkweed) Asclepias sullivantii (Sullivant's Milkweed, Prairie Milkweed) Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Milkweed) Asclepias variegata (White milkweed) Asclepias verticillata (Whorled milkweed) Asclepias viridiflora (Green Comet Milkweed) Asclepias viridis (Green Antelopehorn Milkweed)

A nose dive with ball ammo can mostly be overcome by the momentum of the slide where a hollow point with it's nice sharp edges may not work.

Magnetek, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAG):
Q3 Highlights
- Third quarter net sales totaled $26.9 million, down from $29.2 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to lower sales of wind power inverters. Material handling sales increased 9% over last year to more than $21 million.
- Third quarter gross margin increased to 36.0% of sales in fiscal 2012 from 33.6% in the same period last year, due to a favorable shift in product mix.
- Continuing operations remained firmly profitable, with net income of $1.7 million, or $.51 per diluted share, compared to prior year net income from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $.61 per diluted share.
- Cash balances increased to $27.4 million at the end of the third quarter after the Company contributed $3.9 million to its pension plan during the quarter.
- Third quarter fiscal 2012 bookings remain strong at nearly $29 million, and order backlog increased by $1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
Magnetek, Inc. ("Magnetek" or "the Company", NASDAQ: MAG) today reported the results of its third quarter of fiscal year 2012, ended September 30, 2012.
Third Quarter Results
In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Magnetek recorded revenue of $26.9 million, a decrease of 8% from the prior year quarter, mainly due to lower sales of products for renewable energy and mining applications, partially offset by sales growth of products for material handling markets. The current year sales figure also reflects a reduction in renewable energy sales of $1.4 million resulting from the resolution of order cancellations with the Company's wind customer. Third quarter operating income decreased to $1.9 million from $2.3 million in the comparable quarter last year, due mainly to higher pension expense in the current year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

by gosh it's most probably a duck!
In a follow-up story to the recent revelation that the Altman Group is doing design work on the new Bluffton Middle School, approved in the 2006 referendum, Altman tells us that his firm is indeed working on the project.
He also tells us that his company is not one of the companies being audited for work associated with the 2000 referendum. This is a direct contradiction to what we were told by District officials when they were asked about the design work.

Do we finally have somebody at the helm of the BCSD that thinks logically and rationally?
Just five weeks into the job the interim Superintendent is making some bold proposals – bold only because they are being made here in Beaufort – everywhere else his proposals would be just plain common sense.
He has proposed putting the entire district on the same calendar to save money. Jeez, why couldn't somebody else think of that before now?

I just saw Sanford's campaign commercial where they claim that education is South Carolina is fully funded. . . which would lead one to ask if Beaufort is not part of the state?
Do they really, really think that voters in Beaufort County are that stupid? Anybody that can read their tax bill and the newspapers knows that the State is not funding education here.
It will be interesting to see what our local Sanford supporters have to say about this one . . .

Mark Morice, who rescued hundreds of people in the aftermath of Katrina, is being sued by the owner of the boat that he commandeered to help his fellow man.
"The lawsuit contends that boat owner John M. Lyons Jr. suffered his own distress, in the form of "grief, mental anguish, embarrassment and suffering ... due to the removal of the boat," as well as its replacement costs."

Over the last two days I've read several articles concerning school bus transportation problems in Beaufort County, Savannah and Pensacola.
There are a multitude of factors that must come together for a transportation system to work smoothly and efficiently. Here in Beaufort County some of those factors not only do not come together, but actually work against each other.
IMO a discussion of these factors would shed some much needed light on the overall subject.

Albrighton: All's well at the Villa
Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton insists the players have gone into the international break in positive frame of mind. Villa lost at Tottenham before the players headed their separate ways, with Albrighton playing for the England Under-21 side in their vital Euro Championship first-leg play-off against Romania at Carrow Road on Friday night. But Albrighton revealed that new boss Gerard Houllier had given them a positive pep-talk before they linked-up with their respective nations. "I think if we're not playing well and not doing our jobs and not working hard he'll come at us and he will tell us that we're doing wrong and he'll punish us for it," said Albrighton. "But because we're playing well and before Saturday we were getting results, then I don't think he's got any reason to bawl and shout at us, which I think is a good thing. "He said how well we played which I think we all agree with. We did play well. It was the same as Stoke, we didn't deserve to lose the game, but that's something we'll have to work on."

Of course, debt collectors never go after the wrong people and they never make mistakes. Wait until you get harassed by a debt collection agency for a debt you don't owe then let's see if you spew out the same 'advice.' And yes, it's happened to me.
