Why Netflix (NFLX) Stock Could Be Affected By A 21st Century Fox (FOXA), Time Warner (TWX) Merger
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Netflix
(NFLX - Get Report) shares could be impacted by 21st Century Fox's
(FOXA - Get Report) unsuccessful $80 billion bid for Time Warner
(TWX - Get Report).
The $85 per share Fox offered for Time Warner could support Netflix valuation if Mediatech Capital Partners analyst Porter Bibb is correct about Fox's main interest in Time Warner being its HBO segment and its global streaming opportunity.
Fox's takeover bid was spurred by its interest in the Time Warner's HBO segment, according to a Bloomberg TV interview with Bibb, and if Fox is willing to spend $80 billion for control of HBO's content and distribution, Netflix's own valuation could benefit.
Must Read: 20 Most Volatile Post-Earnings Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Netflix shares are up 0.4% to $450.96 in early market trading today.
TheStreet Ratings team rates NETFLIX INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate NETFLIX INC (NFLX) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company has favored debt over equity in the management of its balance sheet."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 4.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 24.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 1620.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 79.86% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Although NFLX had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- NFLX's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.61 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.74 is weak.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. When compared to other companies in the Internet & Catalog Retail industry and the overall market, NETFLIX INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Since the early 1990′s the Coffs Harbour Music Society has presented a series of subscriber concerts featuring some of Australia's and the world's finest classical musicians drawn largely from the renowned Musica Viva program. Our subscriber base has, over that time, grown from approximately 90 to over 280. Our concert programme extends to six concerts a year divided into two separate series, one in the first half of the year, the other in the second half. Such is the demand for our concerts that they are held at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus in a superbly intimate but raked theatre seating approximately 350. Our Subscribers enjoy preferred seating at substantial discounts to individual concert ticket prices.
With the assistance of our sponsors we have been able to maintain prices at very affordable levels, often as much as 50% less than equivalent capital city performances.
Subscription Concerts
If you are interested in the best of chamber music and are thinking of becoming a subscriber please contact Pam to obtain our current year's concert programme brochure (or use our contact form).
All concerts begin at 8 p.m. sharp at Lecture Theatre D, Coffs Harbour Education Campus, Hogbin Drive, Coffs Harbour.
Other Activities
As a non-profit organisation the Society has used any surplus funds for the advancement of fine music in the region.
Over the years, the society has presented a series of smaller concerts/recitals at a variety of venues. These recitals have featured a heavy concentration on senior students from Australia's leading conservatoriums…

GL: How do you define success for the students?
NB: They can define it for themselves. I just want to do everything possible to give them the dignity and choices that they deserve in their lives. I believe having the opportunity for a successful and rewarding hospitality career can provide that.
GL: What are the greatest frustrations—and greatest joys—in your work?
NB: The greatest joy is easy: It's the remarkable transition that these young people make from the most dire poverty and limited lives to the exciting hospitality careers that we now know are so possible for them as they evolve through our comprehensive program. The frustration is that we could do lots more, and we've had some great support to get as far as we have, but it is sometimes a challenge to get the economic support we need to expand our success.
GL: Who are some of the prominent U.S. chefs who have gotten involved with Streets, and what role do they play?
NB: The chefs have been great: Mike Anthony (Gramercy Tavern), Ty Bellingham (Kittichai), Kenny Callaghan (Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard), Anita Lo (Annisa), Masaharu Morimoto (Morimoto), David Waltuck (Ark Restaurants, formerly of Chanterelle), King Phojanakong (Umi Nom and Kuma Inn), and David Suarez (Rosa Mexicano), to name a few. They contribute with their talent and food at our annual NYC fund-raiser event. Several now also serve on our advisory board. They're a valuable resource to us as we continue to develop our restaurant and program. We're hoping to have several come to Vietnam to do some guest lecturing and cooking at the restaurant and perhaps participate in a Streets cookbook.
GL: Could you see this expanding internationally?
NB: Well, it already is an international effort. After all, I am an American—well, at least a New Yorker. The work we are doing is in Vietnam, and we are exploring other possibilities to expand in Laos, the Philippines, and other places where there are disenfranchised and very poor kids. From the start, I had the notion that we should build this program with an eye toward expansion. Can you imagine a Streets brand with cool, contemporary international and local cuisine anywhere in the world, not only serving international tourism but providing culinary and hospitality training to poor kids as part of its recognizable mission? I can.

Ready to eat!
3 Responses to Mom's Fresh Strawberry Pie
I've been making this pie for more years than I care to tell and it's always been a family favorite.
The only change I've made and we enjoy it is to add a thin layer of cream cheese or mascarpone to the top of the crust before putting in the strawberries; it sure does help to keep the crust from getting soggy and we actually love that bit of tang it brings too.
That being said; I've yet to make one and now you've got me craving it!
Oksana says:
Family recipes are being forwarded to new generation because deliciousness is proved many times. One of such recipes for me – strawberry jam without cooking. It's mashed strawberries with sugar. You have to keep it refregirated. But this way you can have a fresh taste of strawberries. I am for fresh taste!! I like your pie. Thank your mom for teaching you!!
Came here while looking for a strawberry pie recipe… This looks soo good! Heading out to the store now

Here is my computer and this can run legends at 30-40 FPS, but it drops to about 15 in teamfights, and with the winter map being added back and no option to turn off snow, its constantly like 10-20 which sucks. What would be the cheapest upgrade I could get to make it run like 35+ FPS always (65~ when nothing is happening I'd guess) Edit: Too small http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/h...puterSpecs.png
Um, bump
Dan Daze
You can turn of the snow. Also if you want lol to run faster youre going to have to invest in an actual graphics card.
Graphics cards are your best bet.
Papa Palpatine
how do you turn off snow? I find it distracting and it sometimes lags me out.
"What makes LoL run faster ?" A very angry Mundo going where he pleases.
Can anyone tell me a graphics card compatible with my computer that can make LoL at 60+ FPS?
I would recommend This GT240's will run on just about any power supply and should get you around 60fps. Also their pretty cheap as far as graphics cards go.
Junior Member
well my friend told me to use a game booster and it helps idk about you but to me its a lot what it does is it turns off every thing that not needed to play the game giving you a lot more space to do stuff then when your done gaming just turn it back to normal. here is the link: http://download.cnet.com/Game-Booste...html?tag=mncol P.S graphics card helps too also before starting game booster start the LoL log in game or else you wont be able to start the game or launcher.
Forget FPS. What makes Pantheon's ****ing circle cease from being invisible on my computer?

Ray Gerber of Brunswick, professor of biology at Saint Joseph's College in Standish, has discovered a new species of crustacean whiles researching zooplankton at the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Gerber has been sampling fresh and brackish water on the island of St. John, as well as hypersaline lagoons on the island, called salt ponds. The new species, less than 1mm long (1/32"), was living in a pond six times saltier than ocean water.
Dr. Gerber, who is particularly interested in the biogeography and taxonomy of small crustacea, has been awarded a Saint Joseph's faculty grant to continue his research in the U.S. Virgin Islands for the next three years. He has previously published An Identification Manual to the Zooplankton from Passamaquoddy Bay to Long Island Sound.
Gerber has named the new copepod species "Cletocamptus tainoi" in honor of the Taino Indians who were the original inhabitants of the Virgin Islands. These tiny crustaceans are found abundantly in the salt ponds along the coast of St. John.

Aird Records Double-Double To Lead USU To Win Against CS Northridge
Jan. 15, 2005 LOGAN, Utah - Ali Aird recorded a double-double with 16 points and a game-high 12 rebounds and added four blocked shots to lead Utah State to a 61-57 victory against Cal State Northridge in Big West women's basketball action here Saturday night. With the win USU improved to 8-6 overall and 3-2 in the Big West, while Cal State Northridge fell to 7-6 and 3-3. Aird scored 12 of her 16 points in the second half. She was helped by teammate Taylor Richards, who scored all of her 14 points in the second half as well. CSUN was led by Ofa Tulikihihifo, who had 17 points and 10 rebounds. LaJoyce King added 14 points and Krisztina Fuleki added 12 for the visitors. Aird and Richards combined to score all of USU's final 13 points as the Aggies pulled away for the closely contested win. CS Northridge took a 27-25 advantage at halftime, before a 16-7 run gave USU a 44-36 advantage with 10:19 left in the game. CS Northridge fought back to tie the game at 50 with 3:39 remaining and the teams remained tied at 54 with 2:24 left. However, Richards hit her only three-pointer of the game and then Aird added a free throw followed by three Richards' free throws to give USU the win. The Matadors trailed 59-57 with 11 seconds remaining, but an offensive foul on Jamie Mcaa while setting a screen turned the ball over to USU and Richards sank both of her free throws to seal the USU victory. USU shot just 36.1 percent for the game, but made 48 percent of its attempts in the second half. Cal State Northridge shot 41.5 percent from the field, but committed 23 turnovers to USU's 15. Utah State will hit the road this week with a pair of games at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday and at UC Riverside on Saturday.

One thing he did not express was any intention the team had of moving him to safety. At 6-4, 220 pounds, Browner is perhaps the biggest corner in football but doesn't have the best straight line speed at the position. For that reason – coupled with the Patriots dearth of depth at safety – many believed he would be a candidate to join
"They haven't talked to me about playing safety. I'm here to play corner," Browner said rather bluntly.
So, it would seem as if the plan is to have Browner compete with
"It's going to be a lot of fun playing with him and with all of the other defensive backs they have," Browner said. "They have some good football players there, [Devin] McCourty is a good football player. Revis is a really good technician with his low base. It's fun to play with someone like that, kind of like in Seattle playing with Richard Sherman. I'm looking forward to it."
"I've made a few mistakes," he added. "But I look forward to righting the wrongs."

Heavy Putter Success Continues on European PGA Tour
Open de Espana Runner-up Uses B1-M Model(RIDGEFIELD, CT) - The runner-up at the European PGA Tour's Open de Espana put the Heavy Putter B1-M model into play for the first time last week and shot a final-round 72 to force a dramatic playoff yesterday.
Trailing by one shot on the final hole of regulation, he relied on his Heavy Putter to drain a 30-foot birdie putt to force extra holes. Over the course of the tournament, he carded two rounds in the 60s, including a course record nine-under-par 63 with only 25 putts during Friday play.
He joins a global legion of professional golfers experiencing remarkable improvement after switching to the Heavy Putter. Troy Matteson won the PGA TOUR's Fry's.com Open and has recorded several Top-10 finishes using the Heavy Putter, which has also contributed to victories on the European PGA, Asian PGA, Canadian, Nationwide and European Challenge Tours.
"Players around the world continue to realize the Heavy Putter is the only putter that automatically gives them a more consistent stroke," says Stephen Boccieri, President and CEO of Boccieri Golf, maker of the Heavy Putter. "The ability to make pressure putts is essential to being a top professional, and the Heavy Putter helps take all the small, twitchy wrist muscles out of the equation. More players are realizing the significant advantages of switching to a Heavy Putter."
Introduced in early 2005, the Heavy Putter is now carried in all 50 states and in 30 overseas markets. It is found in many of the finest off-course shops and most prestigious golf courses, country clubs and resorts worldwide.
The Heavy Putter's global popularity stems from its unprecedented counter-balance theory of a heavier mass head and weighted grip. This causes greater stroke stability, consistent swing paths, uniform pace, precise distance and directional control, and tightens the end-over-end golf ball roll.
The pioneering weight technology features a 450- to 550-gram head (conventional heads are 330 to 350 grams). The Heavy Putter's unique Weight Management System, a 250-gram weight installed in the grip end, produces a balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters.
Golfers instinctively activate their larger, more stable muscles, preventing wrist breakdown and creating greater stability and consistency throughout the stroke.
The new Heavy Putter Deep Face Series retails for $169, and is available in two blade and three mallet models. Each can be custom ordered in standard, mid- and long-putter lengths for men and women, and some models are available for left-handed golfers.

I'm starting to realize I visit a lot of old prisons. Well, maybe not a lot, but certainly more than the average person. Enough to where I can roam around one and find myself thinking something like, "This old prison reminds me of that other old prison!"
Can I tell you something? When you realize you've visited so many prisons that you can compare one to the other, it becomes sort of disconcerting. And you start to wonder why you can't have a normal, healthy hobby, like tennis or mahjong or whatever it is that functional, healthy people spend their time doing.

The dictionary's definition of an entrepreneur is: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.
(In other words, we think we can fly hot air balloons across the country.)
What this definition fails to mention is the fact that entrepreneurship is more than managing an enterprise and facing a risk, but that it's a full on diagnosable disease. At times, it needs to be treated, but there's no cure. It's contagious, but people continue to exchange business cards, and if there ever was a definition for bipolar, a startup hoodied, head-phoned eared 20 something's photo would be smack dab next to it in complete Merriam-Webster style.
Wondering if you've caught it yet? No worries, here's a list of some of the systems which could include:
- Extreme highs (superb meetings, kick a** e-mails, extra funding)
- Really low lows (sucky meetings, depressing e-mails, lack of funding)
- Weeks of socialization (meet-ups, conferences, travel)
- Followed by weeks of complete solitude (coding, financials, coding, turkey sandwiches)
- Stress over location (New York, no…wait Silicon Vally, no wait…Cincinnati?)
Sound appealing? Did I mention it's contagious…
Since I'm currently experiencing one of those so-called "highs" after our idea was chosen as one of the winners at Startup Weekend in Northern Kentucky outside of Cincinnati. And no, Ashton Kutcher was not the judge though I did carry my Nikon 1… close enough, right? I thought it was only appropriate to share and finally announce what the heck I've been doing behind the scenes via Reality Chic since, well… July.
(Griffin Hall, Northern Kentucky University & the Giant Screen!)
(Startup Boxes)
(Prepping for my pitch)
Along with two other Irish (alright, so we're related) co-founders, I have been working on launching a fashion democracy startup called Righting Style!
Righting Style is an online fashion democracy developed to connect brands with influential and relevant bloggers while helping bloggers expose their content and maintain their integrity.
Think of us as the Klout for content.Whereas Klout measures the overall influence of a person, we measure the overall influence of a post.
Posts are written, the community "votes" for & shares the best content, then the results dictate who is rewarded as a trending fashion leader.
With top content chosen by the community, Righting Style encourages everyone to "Expose Yourself".
Wondering why the heck I would try and create such a thing?? Well… after starting my own fashion blog, I found a few loyal readers, better known as my sister and mom.
I struggled increasing my readership, meeting other bloggers in my local region, and staying a motivated fashion blogger. Now that I've grown my readership, I see the constant struggle PR firms and brands have when it comes to connecting with bloggers in a successful manner.

Cameron reshuffles ailing British government
PUBLISHED: 04 Sep 2012 20:25:39 | UPDATED: 04 Sep 2012 20:26:17PRINT EDITION: 04 Sep 2012
British Prime Minister David Cameron has reshuffled his ailing coalition government, but unpopular finance minister George Osborne is expected to keep his job.
In his first such move since the government came to power two years ago, Cameron is seeking to rejuvenate the Conservative Party element in the cabinet as he looks ahead to the 2015 election.
He began the job on Tuesday by moving a trusted lieutenant, Andrew Mitchell, from international development secretary to chief whip, the government's enforcer for parliamentary business.
But Cameron has resisted efforts to remove Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who was roundly booed at the 80,000-capacity Olympic Stadium in east London on Monday when he presented athletics medals at the Paralympics.
Two other key cabinet members, Foreign Secretary William Hague and Home Secretary Theresa May, are also expected to survive despite the coalition government's dwindling popularity.
The Liberal Democrat junior coalition partners are widely expected to bring former chief secretary to the Treasury, David Laws, back into government.
The well-regarded former banker was forced to quit a cabinet post just after the 2010 election over a row about a housing agreement with his male partner.
Explaining his decision to move Mitchell, Cameron said: "Andrew has done a superb job as Britain's development secretary. He has made British development policy transparent, focused and highly effective.
"As chief whip, Andrew will ensure strong support for our radical legislative program, by working hard to win the argument in the Commons as well as playing a big role in the No 10 team."
Cameron has faced unrest during the parliamentary recess, with one former minister asking whether he was "man or mouse".
It will be the first proper reshuffle of Cameron's government since the May 2010 general election that brought him to office.
Cameron cancelled Tuesday's scheduled cabinet meeting in order to deal with the reshuffle.

First, an admission: after writing about Samantha Brick last week I wanted to try and avoid mentioning her at all costs – but after watching Ricky Gervais's Derek last night (which he wrote, directed and starred in), I suddenly reminded myself about how profitable it can be to wring every last ounce of value out of just the one note. Fancy that!
If you didn't spot it last night, Derek was a one-off comedy drama for Channel 4, in which Gervais played the eponymous character, someone with learning difficulties who worked in an old folks' home.
"Oh, how controversial," the PC pigs among you might squeal, remembering that the no-holds-barred funnyman had back in October been fiercely criticised for repeatedly using the word "mong" on Twitter – a slang term which a bunch of snarky people (ie those with direct experience) took to be disablist language. They further alleged that someone of Gervais's standing ought not to use the word, lest it encourage bullying. He claimed they were wrong, and at some point in the future scientists will vindicate his brave stance. (Unfortunately that day is not today.)
Anyway, after being accused of mocking the disabled, what better way for the lauded star of The Office to prove that he wouldn't mock the disabled than by creating (and inhabiting) a character with learning disabilities who – absolutely hilariously it goes without saying – puts a bowl of custard on a chair, turns round and forgets about the bowl of custard (of custard!) on a chair, then sits on the bowl of custard on a chair, then stands up BECAUSE HE'S SAT ON A BOWL OF CUSTARD THAT HE'D PLACED ON A CHAIR AND NOW IT'S ALL ON THE SEAT OF HIS TROUSERS AND HE JUST CAN'T COMPREHEND WHAT'S HAPPENED. That'll teach them!
This is the beauty of irony (I guess!?!?! I should probably look up the word in the dictionary again), and as we now know Gervais is so ironic that he's like a translucent jellyfish that's eating itself and you don't know which way is up and which way is down, or which way is in and which way is out, and you can only stand and gawp in admiration at this brilliant wonder of God's designs.
Some people might have thought that he – Gervais, not God – had lost it after his films The Invention of Lying and Cemetery Junction didn't live up to the success of The Office and Extras, but – oh yes! – it turns out that the man formerly known as David Brent still had a couple of tricks up his sleeve. (None involving that wacky dance of his again.)
With Life's Too Short he proved that you could have a comedy about short people that wouldn't be laughing at short people, it'd be laughing with short people! In order to do this he had well loved actor Warwick Davis fall out of a car and climb inside a toilet, because that's the sort of stuff that short people probably want us to laugh at whenever we think of them. (I certainly do now, regardless.)
With Derek he proved that you could have a comedy about people with learning disabilities that wouldn't be laughing at people with learning disabilities, it'd be laughing with people with learning disabilities! In order to do this he had himself – as Derek – sit on a bowl of custard, fall into a pond because he thought he saw a spider (or something), and cut the toenails of an old woman to get a toffee (or something) even though – get this – she didn't have any toffee (or something)! He also ran through the main room of the old folks' home naked, which in no way would be utterly humiliating if it were a real-life scenario.
Given that Gervais proclaims himself at every given opportunity to be brilliant, I think what he's doing with these shows is proving – on the grandest and most gut-busting of scales – the same point about comedy that Samantha Brick did about looks. Yes, it turns out that being really really ridiculously funny has its downsides, too!
One major negative comes from the Twitter reaction that immediately greeted the airing of Derek, with loads of insanely jealous types claiming that the show had no point, or no story, or was mainly offensive because it was advertised as a sitcom and wasn't funny. On and on and on they went. (Turns out loads of insanely jealous people like to torment themselves by watching Channel 4 at 10pm on a Thursday night.)
But even if that were true, wouldn't that mean that with his latest show Gervais is proving himself such a brilliant comedian that he doesn't even have to be funny to have channels falling over themselves to put on his shows? What tragedy, when somebody doesn't even have to hit anything like his peak to have people clambering over each other for his attention. How sad. It's almost sad as those really poignant moments of Derek which you knew were poignant because sad piano music played over the top and people looked unhappy, and Derek didn't slip over a bowl of spaghetti that he'd placed on the ground when he had gone to the window to look at a cat outside that was meowing.
Anyway, just like the people who criticised Le Brick were obviously only envious of her good looks (because yonks ago an airline pilot gave her free champagne), those who claim that Gervais is getting worse and worse are simply resentful because he got some Golden Globes a while back and they've never had any Golden Globes. (Not even one for Best Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made for Television.)
If there's a problem for Gervais, it's that those who can't stand his genius are growing in number. Channel bosses are also becoming so envious that they seem unlikely to recommission Life's Too Short, or make Derek into the fully series it rightly ought to be. The better he becomes, the more selective his appeal is. But let us (admittedly fewer and fewer in number) who don't think Ricky Gervais a contemptible, risible excuse for a comedic director/writer/actor remember this: how many of those absurdly covetous haters have ever put a show on network TV about someone with learning disabilities who sits on a bowl of custard? That's right: not very many of them.

For information, contact Tia Tracy at 765-496-1621 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bobby Egan
Bobby Egan thoroughly enjoyed his experiences as a Policy Scholar in Washington DC this summer in the office of Congressman, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (IN–3).
Bobby says, "While most of my daily work included clerical duties.., some of my long-term projects were much more in depth. I attended several extensive policy briefings detailing Medicaid and Medicare reform, as well as the upcoming trade negotiations. I was also tasked with following the Farm Bill progress very closely due to my Congressman's unique perspective as a fourth generation farmer." He added, "My internship required delicate attention to detail and allowed me to further my professional and strategic communication skills." Through constituent correspondence and attending various briefings, Bobby was able to absorb extensive knowledge about policies that affect the American public every day. He concludes, "My experience on Capitol Hill was extremely inspiring. The political complexities and happenings that I followed on a regular basis just for fun before my internship merged with my daily work in the office. I consider my internship instrumental in greatly furthering my passion for public policy."
Nick King
Nick King participated in the Global Policy Research Institute's Policy Scholar Intern program this summer. Nick says, "GPRI offers students the opportunity to explore something they are extremely passionate about through real life experiences, the ability to reach outside the classroom walls and get a foot in the right direction for a career after college. I believe this opportunity will benefit me for years to come." He adds, "It was an amazing experience working for the Challenger Center in Washington D.C. It was a great assignment that helped me better understand the value of STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). It provided a new outlook for my educational journey. Everyday was an interesting experience...because of the different tasks that presented themselves throughout the internship. Every project that I worked on was essential for the team to move forward. The biggest thing that I learned from this internship experience was the 'power of passion.' The tireless passion of the Challenger staff showed me that when you have a great team together, nothing can stand in your way."
Allison Turner
Allison Turner says of her Policy Scholar Internship, "This summer, I had the privilege of working with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, with the Energy Supply and Industry Branch of the Climate Protection Partnerships Division. The Climate Protection Partnerships Division works with several outside entities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change."
Her internship included conducting research and developing fact sheets, Web content and other materials. She says, "This required a great amount of writing, and I was able to improve my technical writing skills and learn how to write for a government and for a business audience."
Allison has returned with an increased passion for climate change and environmental issues, public policy, and government partnership programs. She is thankful for the experience that she had in Washington DC and recommends it to students who want to learn more about public policy.

Nose: The corn is very prevalent but the malted barley comes through with a certain elegance about it.
Palate: The flavour is reminiscent of cherry jam with a little ground pepper followed by a herbaceous quality.
Finish: The finish is surprisingly long for an un-aged spirit and holds sweet notes of vanilla and glacé cherries.
Overall: This is a flavoursome white whiskey with a clean finish, and would be a fun component in cocktails.
Please enter your details to make it easier for us to help you further.
Tastes like a pear eau de vie, clean and pure. But it's corn, not pear. Eau de vie de maïs, one could say. Worth a spin.

1 Oh dear - great game ruined by copy protectionfredisdead | 31/08/2007 | See all fredisdead's reviews (1)Well as many have said this is a superb game, atmospheric, greate graphics and sound. Brilliant playability.And then there's securom.This copy protection system undermines the whole game for the following reasons;You can only activate twice before your key is invalidated.You HAVE to activate online (restrictive)The securom software cannot be removed after you uninstall the game, which is tantamount toa rootkit (see the sony/bmg furore a few years ago) or at the very worst malware.Personally I find it wholly unacceptable to have software installed on my PC that;a - I did not authoriseb - Can't be removed after the game is uninstalled.c - contravenes the games EULA.As a result and despite being a great game, I am sending this back to Play and only giving it 1 star.2K games should get a competent publisher.If you have an XBOX 360 I recommend you go down that road to play this game, but to PC users I can only say;YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
1 Securom copy protection knocks off 4 starsBillMonks | 25/08/2007 | See all BillMonks's reviews (1)What should be a five star game is instead put on the list of games to hold off buying until they're patched. There is the mother of all authentication/DRM systems required to play this game and it's just not worth the aggro. In a year this game will be released in a GOTY edition for less money and without the online activation. I'd wait until then and show 2k that they can't pull this kind of nonsense.
3 No internet connection, no playjustinlalaland | 24/08/2007 | See all justinlalaland's reviews (1)Received my copy last night tried to install it and was told it requires an internet connection to play which I do not currently have! gutted! It apparently needs a one time online activation despite the game not having any online content. This is very poor especially as you dont actually find this out until you get the game through the post and maybe even after you have already opened the packaging (in my case)! not good...
3 IMPORTANT INFORMATIONAngeret | 23/08/2007 | See all Angeret's reviews (9)There have been some severe initial issues with this game resulting in many refund requests to various (r)etailers. Whilst the demo was nothing short of brilliant, the retail game has problems, some noted below...Installing:The game *must* autoupdate online when installed. If it cannot contact the update server it will fail the install, removing all installed files. The update server was down until around 13:00 BST 23/08/07 but appears okay now. Anyone who has attempted to install before this and had a failure, please try again before considering going for a refund.Multiple installs:This game has a limit of 2 simultaneous installs - this is not noted anywhere in the manual. If you attempt a 3rd install the install will fail. If you have a system crash and need to reinstall the OS more than twice the install will fail. Your only option is to ensure that you have uninstalled the game via Add/Remove Programs before a reinstall is performed or an install on another PC. If you pass the 2 install limit without having uninstalled a prior install, you will be required to contact the game's support services to resolve the issue.Please note that the number-of-copies issue is an attempt to cut down on game piracy - but apparently is making the issue worse for us, the paying gamer.For further information and to read masive amounts of heated language, go to forums.2kgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42NB: I do not work for, or have affiliation with, either play.com or any company involved in the production of Bioshock. If I worked for the latter, it certainly wouldn't be using Securom either! At least it isn't Starfarce (sic)Reason for 3 stars - It looks to be a brilliant game, marred by some severe initial issues. (But S.T.A.L.K.E.R. worked eventually, didn't it?)
1 I would of gave this game 4 stars but...Saintrotter | 29/08/2007 | See all Saintrotter's reviews (5)It installs a rootkit kit called SecuROM that gives you hidden files and 'services' in the windows system32 directory. The idea of spending 30 minutes to remove all traces of software you spent £24.99 is offensive. It would be easy SecuRom to include a full clean up upon uninstall but they do not. Exactly what their agenda is, is open to question. No one has the right to alter my machine without my consent. This Securom system is no different than any other malware, spyware or other outside attempt to invade our personal property (systems). They give no notice of what will happen when you consent to load their software. Clearly if they notified the customer that using the product will make almost permanent changes to the registry and other OS files and that these changes may cause conflicts.

Holy shit! Just as I get all excited about Dan's antique flashlight, I follow a link from his site leading to the "Flashlight Museum," a trove of amazing retro models showcased by a flashlight aficionado. Above, the "Rod-D-Lite," a combination fishing rod (or handle and reel, at least) and USALite flashlight, made sometime in the '40s. Fantastic.
And here to the right, a Sterling silver flashlight-shaped flask from the Prohibition era.
These are both just from the "Recent Acquisitions" page! There are literally dozens of noteworthy flashlights in his archive. Go check it out.

Concierge.com's insider take:
West's menu changes with the seasons to highlight the finest sustainable ingredients the West Coast has to offer. Chef Quang Dang's contemporary interpretation of classic dishes is characterized by fresh, herbaceous notes with Asian influences from his Scottish–Vietnamese heritage. Order à la carte or indulge in one of three six-course tasting menus. Winter selections may include thyme-marinated grilled Thiessen Farm quail with chanterelle tortellini, Brussels sprouts, and sherry vinaigrette. Dang's single-ingredient Elements menu is ideal for a casual shared-plates nosh; Asian-style beef tartare with a hint of cilantro is a standout. Save room for dessert—celebrated pastry chef Rhonda Viani's sweet creations are not to be missed. The artfully elegant room features a Werner Forster mirrored sculpture winding across the ceiling and an impressive temperature-controlled wine wall housing 5,000 bottles. The two intimate chef's table banquettes offer prime seating for watching Dang and his brigade in action.—Kasey Wilson

Expect a cold Christmas in the Crossroads
Dec. 23, 2010 at 6:23 a.m.
Fire conditions Gov. Rick Perry issued a disaster proclamation for more than 240 of the state's counties because of the extreme fire hazard.
Crossroads counties included are Calhoun, DeWitt, Goliad, Gonzales, Jackson, Karnes, Lavaca, Matagorda, Refugio, Victoria and Wharton.
Perry directed that all necessary measures be implemented to meet the threat.
The Texas Forest Service also issued a warning that there is an elevated fire risk through New Year's Day.
A cold front expected to roll through the Crossroads Friday will bring a widespread freeze and an elevated wildfire danger this weekend.
"I would recommend no one burn during that period and pay attention to the weather conditions and be extra cautious," said Ron Pray, the Victoria County fire marshal. "The fire could get out of hand pretty quickly under those high-wind and low-humidity conditions."
He said the abundance of dry vegetation would be a plentiful supply of fuel for any fire that does get out of control. Wind and dry conditions behind the cold front would only make the situation worse, he said.
"We're just going to continue to be ready for whatever occurs," Pray said.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a 40-percent chance of showers or thunderstorms Friday and Friday night, although amounts will be relatively light.
Friday's high should be in the mid-70s before dropping into the low 40s Friday night.
"By Christmas Eve, a cold front will come through and by Christmas morning it will be much cooler and drier," said Douglas Vogelsang with the National Weather Service. "For Christmas night, we're looking at lows right around 30 degrees."
A low of 30 degrees is expected again Sunday night. Vogelsang said conditions will be borderline for a hard freeze, with some outlying areas possibly dipping into the upper 20s.
Highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the 50s, with no rain forecast.

ANJC's Legal Assistance Program to Alaska Native Victims of Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault
How Can We Assist You
If you have ever been physically, emotionally or sexually abused by your partner or are seeking assistance with a civil legal issue related to family law such as divorce, separation, child custody, support or a protective order, ANJC's Legal Assistance to Victims Program may be able to assist you with civil legal representation or advocacy assistance.
You may visit our office to complete an intake form.
We are located at the CITC Service Center (3600 San Jeronimo Drive, Ste. 264).
Currently, the LAV Program is not accepting new clients.
The Importance of ANJC's Legal Assistance to Victims Program:
Alaska has the highest rate of sexual assault and domestic violence (2.84 times the national average). This is compounded by the fact that sexual assault and domestic violence against Alaska Native women is 9.7 times higher than women of other ethnicities. To respond to the increasing problem, ANJC established the Ch'ani yet, Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) Program in 2008.
There are many factors that often cause Alaska Natives to be re-victimized in the court process, some of which include:
Lack of access to legal services designed to address victims' needs.
Unawareness of how to obtain the needed legal services.
Inability to afford legal representation.
There are only three pro bono legal aid agencies in Anchorage available to provide needed legal services to low-income victims of sexual assault/domestic violence. All of these agencies are highly limited in the number of cases they can accept, and none except ANJC (in combination with CITC) offer a broader range of services that particularly assist Alaska Native DV/SA victims.


text: Panetta doubtful over Iranian drone claimBy the CNN Wire StaffUpdated 2100 GMT (0400 HKT) April 23, 2012A image taken from Iranian state-run Press TV on December 8 shows what Iranian officials claim is a U.S. drone.Story highlights "I would seriously question their ability to do what they say they have done," Panetta saysTehran bragged about seizing unmanned U.S. drone aircraft in December Months later, Iranian senior military officials declare they have extracted data from it The drone's data reveal that it flew over bin Laden's hideout, a military official says The U.S. secretary of defense said Monday that he doubts Iran has been able to reverse-engineer a U.S. spy drone that crashed last year in the Iranian desert to learn its secrets."I would seriously question their ability to do what they say they have done," Leon Panetta told reporters traveling with him to Colombia.His comments came a day after Iran said it had "cracked the codes" of the intelligence-gathering system in the drone it captured last year for violating its airspace, the nation's semiofficial media reported.Tehran bragged that it had seized the aircraft in December and displayed it on national television as a victory for Iran.On Sunday, an Iranian senior military official said the country's military had extracted data from the aircraft in order to prove to the Pentagon that it had been able to decode it."This plane is seen as a national capital for us, and our words should not disclose all the information that we have very easily," Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh was quoted as saying by the semiofficial Fars News Agency. "Yet, I provide four cues in here to let the Americans know how deep we could penetrate into (the intelligence systems and devices of) this drone."

Retired Gen. James "Spider" Marks, a CNN contributor, said the U.S. military should be concerned about this report."We have to assume the compromise of the drone is complete," he said Monday on CNN's "Early Start." "They can pick apart different pieces of this drone."Marks said U.S. officials need to be concerned about how Iran can use this information to counter American technology.In December, President Barack Obama said the United States had asked Iran to return the drone it said it had. At the time, two U.S. officials said the missing drone was part of a CIA reconnaissance mission that involved both the intelligence community and military personnel stationed in Afghanistan."We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said. Iranian military officials have vowed not to return the plane.More from middleeastSource: Syrian warplanes kill leaders of al Qaeda affiliateAmid brazen, deadly attacks, gay Syrians tell of fear of ISIS persecutionDriver hits Israeli border police, authorities call it terror attackPowered by Livefyre

Is there an architect in the U.S. who didn't cut his or her designer's teeth on toy building sets as a child? Okay, there probably are a few—but toys like LEGO building blocks, Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, and even less regular building materials (cardboard boxes, blankets, couch cushions) probably played a key role in the childhoods of most architects, builders, and engineers. The best educational toys activate a child's imagination and open her eyes to a world of possibilities never before glimpsed. Building sets have the added benefit of helping develop her problem-solving skills—an asset for any future building or design professional.
The significance of such play in developing creativity and lifelong learning skills are the topics of a lecture by toy designer Karen Hewitt at the Washington, D.C., National Building Museum on March 3, 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. The president of Learning Materials Workshop, Hewitt will discuss how architectural toys like those mentioned above create a bridge between the physical world and the imagined world for children and adults. The lecture is designed to accompany a current exhibition at the National Building Museum of architect-trained LEGO Certified Professional Adam Reed Tucker's LEGO buildings. The exhibit will be open free of charge March 3 from 5:30 p.m. until museum closing.
To attend this Thursday's lecture, prepaid registration is required. Members and students pay $12, non-members pay $20. Professionals may earn 1.5 AIA Learning Units. Visit the National Building Museum's website to register and for more details.--S.L.M.

And we do have tornado sirens in AZ. They were built as air raid systems in case of an air terrorist attack during the Cold War. They just aren't available everywhere, and very rarely used.

Witnesses said sirens were screeching and the ships public address system was blaring an alert to the crew as the vessel sliced through the muddy bank near the little town of Stella and came to rest after chopping out half the pavement.
The Navy said the Sperry was aground for about two hours before backing off and proceeding down the river. The ship was not visibly damaged, the Navy said.
The Sperry, stationed in San Diego, is commanded by Capt. Michael M. Elliott, Manlius, N.Y.. A civilian pilot was abouard at the time of the mishap."

Mark Waid Knows His Stuff — Explaining Thrillbent's Design and Economics
- Posted by Johanna on February 17, 2013 at 5:59 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
Mark Waid was a keynote speaker at the recent Tools of Change for Publishing conference, and here's his speech. I hadn't realized how creatively the Thrillbent works were taking into consideration the digital medium. They've kept themselves true comics — none of this motion/animation/sound junk that makes them look like wannabe cartoons — but they aren't constrained by top-to-bottom, left-to-right eye flow. They're leading the reader through the work the same way well-drawn pages do, but not necessarily in a purely linear fashion. Watch the presentation to see some examples.
Smartly, they're also open to monetization, but in ways that we might not have yet. The sales on Comixology are covering the production costs, so anything else is a bonus. Bless Waid for not being afraid of the future, but be willing to experiment in ways that are realistic and smart. I learned a lot from this talk.

Serves 4
The tenderloin–the strip of meat attached to a boneless, skinless chicken breast—slows down preparation and complicates cooking. Pull them from each breast half, remove their tendons and sauté them separately.
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
4 boneless chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat and tenderloin removed and pounded with the dull side of chef's knife until more or less even textured
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour measured into a pie plate or other shallow pan
Pan sauce (recipes follow)
Heat butter and oil in an 11-to 12-inch skillet over low heat. While pan is heating, sprinkle chicken breasts and tenderloins on both sides with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.
A couple of minutes before sautéing, increase heat to medium-high. When butter stops foaming and starts to smell nutty brown, arrange chicken breasts, skinned side up, and tenderloins in skillet. Cook, turning only once, until chicken breasts are rich golden brown, about 3 minutes per side (tenderloins will be done a little sooner). Remove chicken from skillet.
Make one of the pan sauces that follow by adding 2/3 cup liquid to the empty skillet; boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Tilting skillet so that reduced liquid is at one side of the pan, whisk in butter until sauce is smooth and glossy. Spoon a portion of sauce over each sautéed chicken breast and serve immediately.
