Why Express (EXPR) Stock Is Surging Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Express (EXPR - Get Report) surged Friday after private equity firm Sycamore Partners announced Thursday it would pursue a takeover of the struggling apparel retailer.
The New York-based firm disclosed in a regulatory filing that it has amassed an almost 10% stake in Express for slightly more than $106 million.
Sycamore has a track record of similar acquisitions. It completed a $2.2 billion purchase of the Jones Group, which owns Nine West and Anne Klein, in April. The firm bought Hot Topic for approximately $530 million in 2013 and purchased Talbots for $390 million in 2012. It also gave $150 million in financing to Aeropostale (ARO) in March.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.The stock was up 20.66% to $16.35 at 12:37 p.m. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates EXPRESS INC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate EXPRESS INC (EXPR) 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 strongest point has been its expanding profit margins. At the same time, however, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, deteriorating net income and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- EXPR, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 9.6%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 33.48%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 84.21% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
- EXPRESS INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share have declined over the last two years. We anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EXPRESS INC reported lower earnings of $1.38 versus $1.60 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 39.9% in earnings ($0.83 versus $1.38).
- The gross profit margin for EXPRESS INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 34.05%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 1.10% trails that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$31.19 million or 681.73% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.

Ramli , Bahroom and Latifah , Abdol Latif and Noor Azina , Ismail and Nik Najib, Nik Abdul Rahman (2006) The Impact Of "Learning Skills For Open And Distance Learners" Course On Learner Attitudes Towards E-Learning. In: Konvensyen Teknologi Pendidikan ke 19, Langkawi, 9 September 2006, Langkawi, Malaysia. (Submitted)
| PDF - Submitted Version 187Kb |
This study compares the attitudes towards e-learning between a group of undergraduate inservice teachers in Open University Malaysia (OUM) who have undertaken the âLearning Skills for Open and Distance Learnersâ Course and those who have not. Awareness of learner attitudes toward e-learning is a critical factor in enhancing the acceptance of e-learning, as well as in understanding current learner behavior in an online environment. The survey questionnaire consists of a five-point Likert-type attitude scale comprising of 40 positive statements, factoranalyzed into five dimensions. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to identify significant differences in each item among two different groups of learners. The scales were then converted to scores so that the overall score for each dimension is the sum of the scores of items in the dimension. The study then used t-tests to investigate the difference in the overall scores of each dimension between the two groups of learners. The results of the study indicate that the âLearning Skills for Open and Distance Learnersâ Course at OUM does have a positive impact on the attitude of learners towards e-learning. However, general attitude is somewhat neutral. The implications of the results of this study are discussed, particularly in relation to the LSODL course and possible modifications/additional features that need to be built in so as to further improve e-learning use amongst learners.

I got this as part of a kit from Hautelook. I can't stand this mascara. Today was the first day I wore it and within only hours of putting it on, I had to take a q-tip and get the smudges off from under my eyes (and I only put it on my upper lashes!). The only thing I like about this mascara is the packaging. I'm throwing it out. I would never recommend this product to anyone.

Im on my 2nd tube of this. My lashes are pale and short and str8 but this makes them look a mile long when applied over Lancome Cils Boost Lash Primer. I like that it doesnt have fibers to get into my eyes and under my contacts. Doesnt have a noxious smell. The color is shiny black. I like that the tube clicks when it closes so that I know its not going to dry out. Lasts forever.

I bought this on a whim when Sephora was having it on clearance (Tarina is now selling for herself only) and quickly returned to buy the last two tubes as back-ups. This mascara is comfortable to wear, doesn't smear or flake, doesn't irritate my hard contact lenses, and looks very natural in one swipe. It isn't the absolute best for layering, but I don't really feel the need to thicken up since my lashes are defined so nicely. The price is higher, around $20 so it could be considered a bit of a splurge. To me, there are a few things that are worth the price and this is one of them.
natural looking lashes (mine but better++)
non irritating
doesn't smudge or flake
Lasts all day and night
Only comes in waterproof (picky thing, I always go for waterproof, myself)
Only comes in black (again, picky, I always opt for black anyway)
Pricier than some

I heard good things about this mascara, so I thought I would give it a try, but it turns out it's just "ok". I finally decided to buy it when all of the Tarina Tarantino stuff was 40% off at Sephora, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay the full price of $19. The brush is big and unwieldy, though I knew that when I bought it, and it's not any worse than DiorShow or Benefit's Bad Gal Lash. Still, I find it really hard to apply this without making at least 1 mark on my eyelids. This doesn't provide the kind of volume I like or would have expected, and doesn't do too much for length either. I would say this gives lashes a more "fluttery" look, but I was hoping for more bold volume. My lashes look nice afterwards, but there's no "wow" factor, especially since I've used cheaper mascaras (Prestige My Blackest Lashes, Jordana Best Lash Extreme) that worked even better. Also, I find the formula of this mascara to be too dry for my liking. The brush has hardly any product on it upon removal from the tube, so I definitely have to dip into the tube more than once for each eye! I can see why others may like this product, but it's just not for me.

I absolutely refuse to use any other mascara! I got this as a sample at Sephora and have been hooked ever since. It lenghtens and thickens without looking goopy. I use two coats with a little extra at the outer edges and people ask if my eyelashes are real. I pray they never get rid of this because I have never found a mascara like it and I have tried a lot!!

Age: 44-55 Skin: Combination Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue
I was suprised to read negative reviews on this. I think with all makeup/skincare, there are alot of personal preferences for application and results. For me, what I look for in a mascara is long lasting, no smudging,dramatic lenthening more than thickening and easy removal. This ticks all the boxes. I do use this with Lancome's XL primer. My biggest problem with mascaras, is smudging. This never does and even lasts through a hot yoga class. I remove one point for slight flaking here and there, not bad though. I also have only found this online at Sephora, so not widely available.

Big FAIL by Tarina. The brush delivers hardly any product, and the brush is too thick to properly apply on the lashes.
Not the worse I've tried, but definitely not one of the better ones, either.
Got this as a 100 point gift from Sephora.

This mascara is amazing I love it! I just ran out but when I was using it I used it every day because it separated my lashes, gave them volume, and didnt flake or transfer. It gave me a more fuller natural black lash look and i love that it didnt look cakey at all. I love the brush because i know im going to be getting fuller separated lashes I use it even to brush through my other mascaras i have applied. If you dont like natural full lashes then dont get this you will be disappointed. I will be buying this again soon.

Got this as a Sephora VIB gift. Big oversized teddy bear brush, dry formula, doesn't thicken at all, lengthens a bit for a natural, fringey look. The best thing about it is that it really separates lashes. I've been using it after my mascara primer and before my Hypnose Drama and it's good at keeping my lashes separated. Overall, I much prefer dramatic lashes so this is not the look for me. I will not purchase a full size.

I got this a 100pt gift from Sephora. I like the brush & the packaging is cute. Just not sure if I would actually buy the full sized version. Hasn't done anything to wow me. I like how pigmented it is...but that's about it. It doesn't really hold my curl or any length/volume. I mean it looks nice right after, but it just doesn't stay that way. I do like that it doesn't clump up, even with the many layers I put on. So to me, it's 'meh' but it's not horrible. It's got some merits.

With visual purity and simplicity, the film centers on the routine of the night watchman, or el velador, of a fast-growing cemetery favored by Mexico's drug millionaires. It is the most fashionable address for the dead. During the day, the cemetery is a busy construction site, its laborers racing to keep up with the demand. At night, it becomes a ghostly necropolis.
We follow a taciturn middle-aged man, whose name is never given. He arrives at dusk every day in a beat-up old truck and settles into the watchman's shack. Thrown together out of discarded building materials, the shack is surrounded by crypts two or three stories tall, which are topped by domes, floored with polished marble, decorated by statuary and invariably displaying photographs of their occupants — some holding automatic weapons.
Two faithful dogs materialize when the old truck arrives. They have appointed themselves as his companions, but the watchman never talks to them, feeds them or pets them. They are content with his company. At night, the watchman notes, gun battles can erupt between loyalists of various cartels, and sometimes there are bands and parties on the graves.
There is no narration and next to no spoken dialogue in the documentary, although from the watchman's old TV set, we hear items on the news about the daily body count between drug dealers and police, drug dealers and the army, and drug dealers with one another. There is some excitement when the "boss of bosses" is shot down, but we understand there will immediately be a new boss of bosses.
In the daytime, marching bands accompany coffins to their resting places. Mourners are joined by spectators, maybe even tourists. Vendors sell chilled mangoes and soft drinks. We see a widow who comes every day to wash and clean her husband's two-story crypt, while her children play hopscotch on the flat gravemarkers on the less prosperous side of the street.
What else is to be said? The watchman has a single naked light bulb, which he hangs above his door in the evening and moves inside at night. He sleeps under a couple of blankets on a plank supported by oil drums. The feet of the construction workers are bursting from splits in their shoes. The only prosperous ones here are the dead.

Weddings and Blessings
Bali is one of the world's most romantic destinations and the perfect spot to celebrate your union. Whether you choose to have a full legal wedding, a wedding ceremony or a renewal of your vows, the intimate feel of Damai is ideal for hosting one of your life's most important events, be it a private romantic ceremony for just the two of you or a larger event with dozens of guests. We can help with both the legal preparations as well as all the tiny details that makes your day a truly memorable experience. If functions are involved we will do our utmost to make the event almost as magical for your invited guests as for yourself. And should your guests exceed the relatively modest capacity of our hotel, we can arrange for accomodation in nearby villas.
Many couples choose to do the civil registry of their wedding in their home country, and have the religious ceremony element of their wedding in Bali. If that is the case all you need to do is ask us to make this romantic event happen. If you prefer to have both the civil and religious component of your wedding done in Bali, there are some steps to go through to make this happen.
Any couple who are of one of the five religions recognized by Government of Indonesia: Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist can get married in Bali. It is prefered that the couple be of the same religious belief. The marriage should be registered with the district Civil Registrar and the ceremony must be performed under religious rites.
A CNI, Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage, is required. This is simply a letter from your Consulate or Embassy representative in Indonesia stating that there is no objection for you to get married in Indonesia.
For the Consulate to issue this letter, each couple must personally visit their country's respective Consulate to swear an oath that they are free to marry. You must have with you the documents listed below. Once the oath has been taken, the Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage will be produced and handed over. This is usually done on the spot.
The following information will be required in order to process your marriage certificate in Indonesia. Be advised that all documents must be original - no photocopies.
- Passport
- Birth certificates for both parties
- Details of religious faith (i.e. baptism certificates)
- Occupations and domiciles for both parties
- Written parental consent for any person under the age of 21
- Death certificate of former spouse (when relevant)
- Decree absolute divorce certificate (when relevant)
- Details of names, addresses, professions of witnesses. Two (2) witnesses are required. If you do not have any witnesses travelling with you we can arrange them for you.
- Eight (8) photographs (6 x 4 cm) of the couple in same photo. Photo must be of the head and shoulders only, side by side, looking straight ahead. Be advised that these photos will be attached to your wedding certificate!
Catholic Couples must also submit:
- Baptism Certificates - Mandatory. These should be issued not more than 6 months (and preferably not more than 3 months) prior to your wedding date;
- "Letter of Freedom" issued by your Parish Priest or other Church Official, declaring you have never been married and are therefore free to marry;
- "Letter of Delegation" issued by your Parish Priest or other Church Official, declaring that they have no objection to your marriage ceremony being performed by a Priest from the Catholic Church in Bali.
- Pre Nuptial Course
- Pre Marriage Inquiry
Be advised that couples wanting to be married in the Catholic faith need to be married in a Catholic Church. Because of the many rules and regulations related to Catholic couples, we recommend a minimum of one month preparation period. Please be advised that we can not confirm the religious ceremony until all documents required by the Catholic Church have been received and verified by the local Church authorities.
That said, for Catholic couples who may not be able to fulfill these requirements they may still have a Christian wedding ceremony but they would first need to make statement that they agree to be married as Protestants.

Will Apple Finally Take Out Google?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Is Apple (AAPL - Get Report) going to eat Google's (GOOG) lunch?
While the iOS/Android battle has been playing out for multiple years now in the mobile marketplace (tablets and smartphones), could Apple be making a move to squeeze loyal Google users further into its own deep ecosystem?
Remember back in 2012, when Apple removed the YouTube app and Google Maps from its mobile devices? While they can still be downloaded through the App Store, the applications used to be on the home screen by default.
Consumers collectively booed the new Apple Maps, pointing to its errors and poor user interface. Although it has improved through multiple updates, it's still not perfect. But it's now obvious that back then, Apple was trying rid itself of the search engine giant.
Google Docs was one of the company's flagship services that many individuals and small businesses enjoyed using. It was fast, easy and most importantly, free to create, edit and share documents. You could work on spreadsheets and presentations from any computer, so long as it had an Internet connection. Individuals could also share their projects with teams or classmates, making it extremely easy for anyone to edit, update or print the work from separate work stations. Now Google Docs has been incorporated into Google Drive, a similar service that offers slightly more options for use on the cloud. Essentially, it operates the same and, in fact, I'm writing this article in Google Drive. But could Apple be trying to break up the online document monopoly? During its latest Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, Apple revealed its new service, iWork. iWork, consisting of Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- which are equivalents of documents, spreadsheets and presentations -- are actually not new to the Mac world. However, coming this fall, their iCloud integration will be. Previously, users could only access documents on their Apple devices through the cloud. So what's the difference? While it might seem like a small difference, it's actually quite large, or at least, could possibly be quite large. Allow me to explain. Before, if I wrote an article on my iMac, it would update on my iPad via the cloud. Now I can work on my article on the go, for instance, at the subway or a cafe. But what if I don't have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch? Then there will no longer be any way to work on my article until I return home. Until now.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hodginville Ky May 25th 1866 Dear Sir our very Kind letter of the 2d. inst was duly Recd and after Some delay I reply by Saying that I am unable to give you much more information than I did before As to your first inquiry in regard to Thos Lincoln not being able to get a "Baby" from his first Marriage, that seems to be the impression from the best information I can get He was married it appears in this County but when no one Seems to recollect At that day this part of the country was Sparsly settled & from what I have heard old men Say there was very little attention given to Books papers or records and as the Lincoln Family at that day Cut no Considerable figure all of these mior incidents are lost Sight of In Most of Cases they Settleled all their difficulties out of the Court House at some public gathering or old fashioned Ky Knock down was the order of the day get up drink make Friends & all went on well the man that came off second best must find Some one that he Could whip unless a Man Could boast of whipping some body he was not taken up in the best of Society yet if he was game he could pass.

Local Gov't Lawsuits Against Oil & Gas Companies Appear Safe From Lawmakers
The Legislature is moving toward derailing a lawsuit filed by a New Orleans-area levee board filed against 97 energy companies for coastal damage. But lawmakers appear to be backing off action against similar litigation filed by Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes.
The Advocate reports that Rep. Joel Robideaux sponsored a bill that would detail a way for local and parish governments to handle environmental cleanup disputes without going to court.
The bill met resistance from local government officials who worried courts might use the procedures to support the oil and gas industry's contention that local governments had no authority to file a lawsuit alleging noncompliance with a state-issued permit.
Robideaux has delayed bill hearings and says unless a compromise can be reached, he won't bring up the legislation this session.

Social Media Promos
Social Media in 2011
January 10, 2011 By: Alissa PonchioneWhat are the top social media trends? According to Dave Sribnik, manager of trends and technology for MarkeTeam Inc., the Mission Viejo, Calif., F&B sales promotion agency, these are the top trends and strategies to tackle to gain added awareness of your beverage programs in 2011:
- Be omnipresent and sign up for all social networking opportunities. Ubiquitous ones like Facebook and Twitter are important in retaining loyalty, while those gaining in popularity like Yelp and Foursquare offer insight into what your customers like and rewards them for it.
- QR Codes or Microsoft tagging are the future of mobile marketing. Using smartphones, guests scan a barcode that is on your bar or club's napkins, glasses or POS, which takes them to your website, where you can offer coupons or discounts.
- Augmented reality combines smartphone camera capabilities and reality. Customers looking for a place to nosh or drink simply open their phone, snap a photo and overlay that photo on the map from the GPS locator, which will show where all the bars and clubs are in their vicinity.
- Personalized URLs and e-mails are the future. Instead of sending out a mass e-mail to your whole database, you can personalize text messages, e-mails and URLs with a welcoming message to the customer you're trying to attract, making him/her feel like a VIP at your establishment.

The Official Community for Tennessee's Democrats
For a lack of any other forum, I am hoping this venue may offer a chance for my opinions to make a difference, and if not widely read, at least I'll have the satisfaction of venting. Also, I will not waste time writing to my Representative and Senators with my opinions, but will direct them to read them here.
Background: I live in the 6th Congressional District represented by Representative Diane Black. (I'm forever puzzled by her self-identification as a "Congressman" and wonder if there's a sexual identity crisis, or some form of envy?) who seems to think she only represents those voters who cast their vote for her. When she was elected in November 2012, she received approximately 185,000 votes. Given that the population then was roughly 315,000,000, and there are 435 congressional districts, she received the votes of about 25% of the residents of the 6th district. What about the other 540,000 of us whom she has ignored or worse by taking positions completely opposite what the polls would tell her? So, when I write or call her office to express a position, the answer is always polite, but Ms. Black remains on the same path.
It is time...no, it is IMPERATIVE that the truly silent majority awaken and take action to defeat Ms. Black (and EVERY other Republican from Tennessee) in the next election. We need to demand that the homeless who are otherwise eligible to vote get the chance to vote. We need the minorities who are targets of the Republican Party, either through imposing voting restrictions in the name of "voter fraud," or hatred of anyone not like them ("them" is obvious when panning the crowds at the GOP Presidential Convention last year.) Major players in the Republican Party have awakened to the need for the party to stop alienating such groups if it is to survive, but the message is not getting through. And perhaps it is telling that Ms. Black seems to strive to be labeled as a male, when her votes are totally consistent with the Republican Party's war on women.
Looking ahead to November 2014, it is now that we must begin targeting the various voting blocs that can help us defeat these ideologues and shills for big business. It is now that we must begin moving to get them registered to vote.
We cannot afford--as individuals and as a nation--to allow these throw-backs to the Gilded Age to remain in office.
Today's issue--the Farm Bill which was passed by the House of Representatives yesterday, stripped Food Stamp funding for those who most clearly need it--the members of families with children who work, BUT retained the funding for government grants to "farmers" some of whom are members of Congress that receive federal funds while sitting as representatives. Ms. Black, where is your sense of integrity?
We know how evil the repubs are. But where are the democratic candidates?

Tickle Her
Well, my girlfriend always smells my shirt when she is upset or scared (she says my cologne relaxes her.. lol) anyways, so when we are sitting on the couch or something and she smells my shirt, i know something is wrong. She HATES talking about it so to get it out of her, I start to tickle her until she confesses. So guys: Start tickling her when she is upset to make her laugh and when you tickle her, make sure you pin her the floor,couch,bed, ect. then when you have her pinned, look into her eyes and slowly bend down to kiss her on her lips. Progressively start to make it more passionate and eventually roll her on top of you so she is straddling you. You can put your hands anywhere that pulls your bodies closer and you are both comfortably with.

This article is Part 1 of a 5 part series that seeks to take a deeper look into the festival
that has Bahamians young and old passionately consumed every year.
Junkanoo is a Caribbean festival which was started by slaves who came to the islands during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The most controversial aspect of Junkanoo is its origin. The numerous spelling variations of the word Jon Canoe (Junkanoo) only serve to further emphasize the many possible origins of the festival itself.
However, most folklorists have asserted that the Junkanoo festival resembles the West African John Canoe, a festival also said to be celebrated by West African slaves.
In the pre-emancipation era the slaves were allowed a special holiday at Christmas time. During this time they were allowed to leave the plantation, visit relatives and the most exciting event was the holding of the grand dance.
This merry-making by the slaves took on a particular form, that of hero worship, a tribute to the memory of John Canoe. After emancipation the freed slaves continued their festival at Christmas time. In the early twentieth century John canoe as a festival took a more progressive turn as the costumes changed from cloth to a paper fringe and parading became more organized.
The 1930's saw the introduction of sponge costumes, a typical expression of the booming sponge industry. The festival flourished until 1942, the year of the famous riots when the festivities were suspended. The spirit could not be killed, and John canoe was again revived in 1947.
During the 1950's the John canoe parade became even more organized as prize money was increased, categories introduced and masqueraders paraded in distinct groups representing various districts.
In contrast to the other Caribbean islands where junkanoo has become obsolete except in Jamaica and Bermuda where it is still celebrated but not on a large scale. Junkanoo in the Bahamas has evolved into a national festival.
The groups are larger, costumes are skillfully designed and built with the most brightly colored fringe crepe paper. The passion the Junkanoo'ers exhibit is very evident, which perhaps accounts for the secrecy of the group themes up until performance time.
The largest Junkanoo parades are now held twice a year at 1am in the morning, with the 1st festival being held on Boxing Day and the 2nd festival being held on New Years Morning.
Stay tuned for part two as I continue to uncover how this festival has evolved. Part two will take a deeper look into the costume design and how the art has evolved. Here is a sneak peak of whats to come.

As she battled her employer, Schneider also repeatedly asked the Justice Department, which oversees the INS, to investigate her claims. In May 1999 Schneider mailed her allegations to the FBI's Anti-Terrorism Joint Task Force in New York City. On March 28 of this year, Schneider warned Attorney General John Ashcroft in a letter that national security was threatened and pleaded for an investigation. The claims in her letter, which was obtained by New Times, include the following:�She has information from five informants on "long-running, extensive, felony bribery conspiracies engaged in by Orlando INS and staff at a former [unnamed] congressional office." The bribery ring involved "over 50 Islamic Muslim Moroccans, an unknown number of whom had ties" to Ihab Ali, an Egyptian who lived in Orlando when he was imprisoned in 1999 in New York for ties to Osama bin Laden and the East Africa embassy bombings.
�INS officials stole cash and jewelry from illegal aliens who had been detained.
�Records of more than 200 felony immigration fraud cases were secretly removed from her office.
�Her investigation "has been suppressed and covered up" with the use of "criminal coercion, intimidation, and harassment of outside informants and myself by select officials."
On August 9, just a month before the New York and Washington, D.C., suicide hijackings, she complained to Sue Armstrong, deputy director of investigations for INS's Office of Internal Audit (OIA). "Never once in three years did I receive any verbal or written response from the FBI other than ... letters informing me that my information was forwarded to the FBI in Tampa," wrote Schneider.
A week later, on August 16, the Justice Department notified Schneider that her allegations had been forwarded to U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis in Miami. On September 11 Schneider wrote to Lewis: "In light of the multiple terrorist attacks on our American soil today, I am forwarding the enclosed documents in hope this material will finally be taken seriously and immediate action taken to reduce and in some way minimize what will assuredly be future terrorist attacks on Our Beloved America."
Aloyma Sanchez, a spokeswoman for Lewis, will not comment on the case because it is a pending matter. The INS also refuses to comment on Schneider's allegations. INS spokeswoman Patricia Mancha says only that all allegations made by INS employees are reviewed and those with merits are fully investigated. Schneider's current attorney, Fort Lauderdale labor lawyer Donald Appignani, disputes that claim, however.
Appignani, who has represented numerous INS employees and won't comment on Schneider's case while it is pending, says OIA is notorious for systematically protecting INS higher-ups. Indeed evidence suggests that the OIA -- and deputy director Armstrong in particular -- has indeed routinely cleared supervisors accused of wrongdoing. Former OIA investigator William Congleton, who is still with INS, swore under oath that Armstrong "does not want allegations against managers, generally, substantiated." He made his comments during a September 1999 deposition taken in the case of another INS whistleblower. "She likes to see managers exonerated...," he continued. "Her view is ... that her job is to protect management and to enforce rules and regulations against members of the bargaining unit."
Armstrong, reached at her Washington office, declines comment. INS media director Russ Bergeron says the INS, under rules of a legal settlement, cannot discuss the Congleton deposition. But he does defend the Office of Internal Audit. "Whatever decisions are made [by OIA] are based solely on the facts and the law and have nothing to do with whether a person is affiliated with union or management," says Bergeron.
Whatever the merit of her allegations, Schneider's warnings certainly proved prophetic. Numerous Orlando ties to the suicide bombings and bin Laden have been uncovered both before and after the attacks -- so many that the Orlando Sentinel recently suggested that Central Florida should be dubbed Terroristland.
Ali, an Egyptian national, drove a cab in Orlando before the FBI tied him to bin Laden and jailed him in 1999. Intriguingly Ali took flight training in 1993 at a school in Oklahoma that has been linked to some of the September 11 terrorists. Since the attacks, it has been discovered that a former Orlando resident named Ziyad Khaleel, age 37, purchased a $7500 satellite telephone that wound up with bin Laden in Afghanistan, according to media accounts. Another Egyptian immigrant living in Orlando, Hady Omar, Jr., was arrested in Arkansas the day after the attacks because authorities found he'd made airplane reservations for three of the hijackers. And relatives of suspected September 11 ringleader Mohamed Atta have also lived in Orlando. One of them, a man named Majed Atta, abruptly left the area in September.
The suspects identified in Schneider's complaints "were from areas where there were terrorists, and their backgrounds troubled her," Ross says. "She didn't like the way they got into the country or what they were doing here."
Schneider declines to comment at length, saying only that she had gathered a lot of evidence and still seeks a full investigation. "I would like to see criminal activity stopped, but I don't want to point my finger at the government at this time," she relates. "We all need to be supportive of our government since September 11."

(Baltimore, Md.) Engineering News-Record (ENR) named Maryland's InterCounty Connector (ICC) Contract B as its 2012 Best Transportation Project in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Gannett Fleming was part of the design-build team of MD200 Constructors, a joint venture of Kiewit Southern Company, G.A. & F.C. Wagman, and Corman Construction. Gannett Fleming provided highway, bridge, traffic, and geotechnical engineering services in conjunction with the Parsons Transportation Group design team.
The ICC is more than 23 miles long and links I-270 in Montgomery County, Md., with I-95 in Prince George's County, Md. The project was separated into four different contracts, with Contract B featuring a new seven-mile-long tolled roadway for six lanes of traffic, five dual multi-span mainline bridges, four two-span overhead bridges, one overhead single-point urban interchange structure, and roadway interchanges at MD 182 and MD 650. Contract B opened to the traveling public in December 2011.
The $560 million project was featured in ENR's Dec. 10, 2012, edition. Entries were judged on teamwork and overcoming challenges; safety, innovation, and contribution; construction quality and craftsmanship; and function and aesthetic quality.

See The Changes
I'm gonna be sixty.
And unlike Tommy Mottola and Lyor Cohen I'm not gonna shave a decade off my age in order to appear young and hip, because my hip hurts, you can get plastic surgery, put on a happy face, but you're still your real age inside, you might as well own it, especially because once you die you'll be…forgotten.
That's the dirty little secret. You think you matter, that you'll be remembered, but has anybody even mentioned Mindy McCready to you today? I think not. And that proves the point.
Surviving is difficult. All those musicians who O.D.'ed, they took the easy way out. Life is full of changes and challenges. Every time you think you know what's going on the mirrors descend, the fast ball turns into a curve ball and you're suddenly clueless. The only ones confident in their opinions are the youngsters, who know so little they think they know everything.
Yesterday I went to Costco. I am not a member. Because I don't have a family. That's one thing I forgot to do. Oh, I had the biological urge about twenty years ago, when I was still married but estranged from my ex-wife, I told her I wanted to get back together to procreate, but she didn't. And then the time passed by. And I'm not about to have children now. Most of the birth defects come from older fathers, and if my dad died when I was twenty not only would I have been crestfallen, I might not have been able to pull myself up by my bootstraps. We need people to rely upon, to point the way, to be in our corner. Otherwise life's just too difficult.
And after eating a strangely bland hot dog I went into the emporium and was confronted with scads of people much younger than myself, beating the prices at the Albertsons right next door. It was so exciting, poring through the goods, more fun than being famous, like Camille Grammer and Johnny Rzeznik, whom I saw at the baggage carousel the night before. Camille, with her puffed-up lips, was just sad and probably lonely. We think fame will solve our problems. But that was back before anybody could be on TV, when we had contempt for those on the box, as opposed to looking up to them. As for Rzeznik, there was an old guy with a video camera following him around, but nobody else recognized him, in a coif that he'd probably like to abandon, despite it being his trademark. How much time did it take to pouf it up? We get older and we just want to relax, be ourselves, not waste time, do our best to fit into life like an old worn-out shoe.
And then there was the girl stumbling around in the high heels. These I don't get. You can't walk so you'll look cool to other women? Overpaying for the privilege of wrecking your feet? Or maybe I missed the memo, maybe I'm the outlier here, but I get turned-on by these suddenly taller females not a bit. Kind of like Stevie Nicks on Letterman last week. Teetering on high heels singing a song nobody cared about. It's just sad. Having to emulate who you once were. As the rest of the world ages, adjusts, moves on.
She has seen me changing
It ain't easy rearranging
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away as you get closer
Crosby, Stills & Nash reunited. Young didn't bother, he had a burgeoning solo career, the rest hit a dead end, their hits dried up, as did their audience. And these albums are supposed to disappoint, check the history of rock and roll, reunions never satiate, and 1977's "CSN" wasn't quite as good as what came before, but it was surprisingly excellent, with the still on the radio "Dark Star" and "Just A Song Before I Go" but the even better "I Give You Give Blind," "Shadow Captain" and the piece de resistance, "See The Changes."
The predecessor was "4 + 20″ on "Deja Vu." I lived in Utah with a twenty four year old wondering where his life had taken him. He sat in front of the stereo playing that track over and over, feeling the solidarity, trying to gain wisdom.
And then, surprisingly, Stephen Stills gave an update.
Ten years singing right out loud
I never looked was anybody listening
Then I fell out of a cloud
I hit the ground and noticed something missing
We think we know where we're going. We have a plan and stick to it. Or we fall into something and do our best to get ahead and then suddenly…time has passed, we're older, we can't get back to where we once belonged, we can't start over, and suddenly we're not sure we like where we are.
It's the human condition. It causes firings, quittings and divorces. It's our one and only go-round and we don't want to make a mistake. And what they don't tell you is it's hard enough to accomplish one thing, never mind everything. Suddenly you take a good look around because you're never going to be back. You lose your looks, you've still got the sexual fantasy, but not quite the ability, and the people at Costco are younger than you.
And that's when you hear "See The Changes" on the radio.
That's exactly what happened yesterday.
After seeing the two bedraggled men exiting the building wearing brand new bright orange Fila sneakers, on sale for barely double digits, after holding back from scolding the mother with the toddler balancing on the handrail of the cart, about to fall off, after seeing a 65″ TV for $3500, after realizing that while I was busy in my house trying to make it for twenty five years, everything changed, I tuned into the mellifluous sound of Stephen Stills telling me he experienced the same damn thing.
It's hard to rearrange. That's what freaks me out about my contemporaries, not their eagerness to diet and fit into children's clothing, but their lack of desire to change. They like physical books, they abhor the DVR, they're dead and they don't even know it yet. They've given up. And what happens next is you're discarded. Like the Republican Party, which couldn't read the statistics, which didn't realize the immigrant tsunami, the people of color, were going to bury them. Adjust or die.
And I was once young too, with an answer for everything. But now I hit countless dead ends. I know Verizon has better connections than AT&T, that all those using another provider are having a second-rate experience, but maybe they have a good sex life, maybe the connection just doesn't matter.
Now I have someone
She has seen me changing
And it gets harder as you get older
And farther away as you get closer
But at least now I have someone. Because being alone positively sucks. Living alone leaves your options open, but as the window closes you don't realize what you're missing. You're left out of couples social life, you don't go on vacation, and you're forced to log on to OKCupid where everybody's desirous of coupling up but refuses to do the work to see why they're alone. Set in their ways, they don't realize the problem is them. That you've got to change to make it. In life. In relationships.
Nobody laughing
All the good times
Getting harder to come by without weeping
Instead of discussing bands, you talk about your health. Everybody I know has cancer. Except for those too scared to go to the doctor. Believing if they live in denial they'll be okay. But the Big C waits for no one. Do it now, go to the doctor and live, because if you think the sand in the hourglass is endless, you're sorely mistaken. Turns out there's not as much as you think. And you don't want to live forever anyway, with all your friends gone.
And I don't know the answer
Does it even matter?
I'm wonderin' how
The question of the ages, the meaning of life. What is it? Damn if I know. Anybody who tells you otherwise is ignorant or a charlatan. In high school you want to live for yourself, make all your own decisions. As you age you look for the instruction book, the manual, you want answers, because you certainly have none.
But it's all irrelevant.
Forty years ago there was no Costco. For all I know, forty years from now food will be grown at home in your 3-D printer. Just like you no longer have to go to the post office to send a missive, how you no longer have to go to the bank to manage your money, the changes come fast and furious, unforeseen. And you do your best to adjust.
And it does get harder as you get older.
And sheer will cannot fight Father Time.
And it is farther away as you get closer.
Just when you think you've finally figured it out, you find out you were wrong. The hurricane destroys your house, depletes your life savings. The earthquake topples your abode. You thought you were prepared, but life is laughing at you. Pray if it makes you feel better, but no one's listening. Not God, not the government, not the media. You're on your own.
Unless you've got a good record collection.
And someone to listen to it with.
Then you're all right.

Yardbarker - Division-III golf coach Matt Mahanic of Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama showed off what he learned in "How to Not Coach a Team 101″ after his golfers (apparently) struggled in the Gordin Classic in Ohio last month. On the ride back, Mahanic broke the world record for most F-bombs dropped in a 24-hour period, but he only needed about three minutes and change to do it. Somebody on the bus got their recorder going and Mr. Mahanic's reputation has flipped for the worse.
11 fucking teams beat them! They couldn't fucking break 300! They're out there acting like everything is fucking honky dory! I am a division manager that is very important! I drive a Dodge Stratus!
By far the best part of this rant is when he says "My dad looked at me and said "Why the fuck are you recruiting these kids?" Amazing. Like "not only do I think you fucking suck but my old man is out there and says you fucking suck too." And you know this dude is such a fucking lunatic because of his dad. You know that guy was straight up Earl Woods'ing Matt Mahanic his whole life. Now he's a basically a glorified miniature golf coach – hates his wife – hates his kids – and all he wants is for his crew of 5 to break 300. He could have spent the week golfing getting shitfaced and trying to pay the cart girls for some sex after his round of 36. Instead he's watching 5 20 year old kids fucking suck it up on the finest manicured course around. If these guys don't win at Gaston theres a 200% chance this guy hangs himself.
PS – I wish I had this guy yelling at me every morning that I woke up. I'd be the most motivated motherfucker on the planet. Move over Ray Lewis. Matt Mahanic is in the building

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Change in Directors or Prin
On February 20, 2014, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Nomination and Standstill Agreement (the "Agreement") with Dr. Alexander J. Denner, Sarissa Capital Management LP, Sarissa Capital Domestic Fund LP, Sarissa Capital Offshore Master Fund LP, Sarissa Capital Fund GP LP and Sarissa Capital Offshore Fund GP LLC (collectively, the "Sarissa Group"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to appoint Dr. Alexander J. Denner to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") as a Class 1 director with a term expiring at the Company's 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. The Company has also agreed to appoint an additional director (the "Additional Designee"), selected by the Board and approved by Dr. Denner, as a Class 2 director with a term expiring at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. The following is a summary of the terms of the Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the terms of the Agreement, during the Standstill Period, the Sarissa Group has agreed not to solicit proxies regarding any matter to come before a meeting of the Company's stockholders, including for the election of directors. Among other provisions, the Sarissa Group has also agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, during the Standstill Period the Sarissa Group will not acquire beneficial ownership of additional shares of the Company's voting stock. The Agreement generally defines the "Standstill Period" as the period beginning February 20, 2014 and ending on the earlier of the date, if any, that the Sarissa Group gives notice of the nomination of two or more directors at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders and the date on which Dr. Denner resigns from the Board.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, on February 20, 2014, the Board increased the size of the Board from eight to nine members and appointed Dr. Denner as a Class 1 director to fill the newly created vacancy. In addition, the Board appointed Dr. Denner to serve as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. The Agreement also provides that, for so long as Dr. Denner is a member of the Board, the Company will give prior notice to the Sarissa Group before the advance notice deadline in the Company's bylaws if Dr. Denner or the Additional Designee will not be nominated for election at any future annual meeting of stockholders when their current terms expire. Following the appointment of the Additional Designee and for so long as Dr. Denner is a member of the Board, the Board has agreed not to increase the size of the Board above ten members. Pursuant to the Agreement, Dr. Denner will automatically resign if the Sarissa Group no longer beneficially owns at least 6 million shares of the Company's common stock.
In conjunction with the Agreement, the Company and the Sarissa Group have also entered into a Confidentiality Agreement governing the provision of certain confidential information obtained by Dr. Denner during his service on the Board to the Sarissa Group, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As always, it's fun to read comments from readers. But I've never had someone gush over me, my writing and (somehow) my own golf game as much as bmasoner55, who responded to the piece with this:
Hey Smiley. When was the last time you put your game to the test? Or do you have one? Hiding behind your words is one way to deal with your own inadequacies. Even if we mixed all these fragrances, we would not come close to the horrific odor this article eminates [sic]. A good label for the bottled crap your opinions manifest to would be Smiley #8. One squirt and you are sure to score no less than a "snow man" in any capacity of life you persue [sic]. I will concede to the originality of the origin of this article. Other than that, you seem to fall into the catagory [sic] of "Never even could have been" as a writer and competitor.
And there it ended. No doubt he was heading to amazon to pre-order my book.

- Great pants (Review by Spindrift)
I've been climbing in these pants for a few months and they some of the best I've owned. The fit is excellent; articulated knees. low cut waist for a harness, and minimalist design. I wore them up the Grand and thought they were perfect.
The eyelet cords aren't functional so I added a set of rivet eye's in the cuff seam. There front zipper is only a single and really could use a double. Beyond that, great pants.(Posted on 9/7/14)
- My new pants for EVERYTHING (Review by Brendan)
Synthetic, wicking, and they don't look dorky—perfect for climbing and hiking in the spring summer and fall. Huge fan of the zipper pocket as well.

Developing Cloud Curriculum in Art and Science
'So what would a "Art Science Cloud Curriculum" be in the face of networked culture?'
IMAC / re-new 2012 invites you to participate in the Leonardo Education and Art Forum (LEAF): Art Science Cloud Curriculum Workshop on
monday november 19 at 15:30-18:30
The workshop will be held together with the Interactive Media Arts Conference (IMAC) 2012 at Aalborg University Copenhagen, A. C. Meyers Vænge 15, DK-2450 Copenhagen SV.
Moderators are Associate Professor Paul Thomas, College of Fine Art, University of New South Wales and Morten Søndergaard, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Media Art Curator, Aalborg University Copenhagen.

"Somehow the "Art-Science Cloud Curriculum" needs to respond to the new realities of the evolving organization of research and knowledge. It may be that universities are mal-adapted to evolve to the new situation; the whole diploma structure (BSc, MA, MFA, PhD) was designed for a world that no longer exists; even the new distance learning and on-line institutions such as the Kahn Academy are a premature response that will be overtaken by new systems. If a student really wants access to the best education that addresses the STEAM vision, that allows for multiple educational "pathways" through science, engineering, arts and humanities, maybe we need a 'serious game' environment that summons at the appropriate time the best teacher or mentor on the planet for the problem at hand, that mobilises collective group learning technologies of massive collaborative games, that matches budget to the best educational opportunities, that optimizes 'blended learning" approaches to combine face to face time, on line collaboration time and access to distant learning resources."
Roger F Malina
This Leonardo Educational Art Forum, (a working group of Leonardo ® /ISAST) Art Science Cloud Curriculum workshop is to generate and build an internationally recognised and Leonardo endorsed art and science cloud curriculum course outline. The workshop outcome would be a curriculum that could become a benchmark of what we see as quintessentially important to engage in the world of research at the core of Art/Science. The workshop is established in collaboration with the research being developed for the SEAD curriculum white paper and STEAM. The workshop would be able to define and construct an actual sample curriculum that would be placed on the art science cloud curriculum wiki.
The two-part workshop would happen in real-time with invited collaborators. The first workshop will take place on Monday November 19 at AAU-cph (Copenhagen, Denmark) during the IMAC 2012 conference. It provides the ideal framework for artists, curators, researchers, engineers and students to meet, present and discuss their findings in new media art.
The second workshop will take place at MutaMorphosis: Tribute to Uncertainty CIANT – Prague CIANT from December 6, December 8, 2012. MutaMorphosis II should therefore be contextualised in a world undergoing a complete mutation, jolting at all its points of articulation, whether political, economic, diplomatic, geographic, ecological, technological or communicative.
The workshop would encourage contemporary scholars, artists, scientists and theorist in the area of art and science to discuss, suggest and create the aims, attributes, readers and course work that should be undertaken to produce a fundamental set of considerations that would enable students to engage in the world of art and science.
The workshop would happen with invited collaborators and re-new / IMAC 2012 conference delegates and would utilize contemporary networked technologies to build the curriculum in real-time that would become the foundation of an art and science cloud curriculum wiki. The project aims to use the wiki to affect a shift in the perception of art and science students and staff toward an understanding of new paradigms of research and learning that challenge and transcend disciplinary boundaries. The curriculum will privilege metacognitive interrogation of content and (re)visioning of traditional disciplinary research methodologies using a syncretic integration of heuristic and practice-based inquiry.
The workshops will build on previous Leonardo Education and Art Forum: Transdisciplinary Visual Arts, Science & Technology Renewal Post-New Media Assimilation workshop held in 2011.

Thanks Dr. P but I already saw you last Thursday and gave them to you. You might remember me and my husband Mark. I'm the 42 y.o. TTC our first child together. We both have kids from previous marriages and we saw you at the Fullerton office. Anyway, I'm excited about working with you and your staff to get this baby making underway!
I'm excited about it too.....
Thanks Dr.Potter.
I'm still waiting for Maria to call me with your plan for us but maybe she hasn't had a chance to talk to you yet. Does Clomid upset your stomach because my tummy has been upset since CD9 and last day of CCCT?
Maria just called me about a half hour ago and said you suggested IUI/Injectables or IVF/ICSI. She said with IUI we will only have about a 10-15% chance of gettng pregnant and with IVF it would be 35-40%. That is such a huge difference. Is it because of my hubby's morphology only being 4% or because of my age (over 40)? I thought with injectables the percentage might be a little higher for IUI.
As for the Clomid - I think you are right because I ovulated yesterday and it was the most painful ovulation I have ever had. I hope I don't get PG with twins from it. Yikes!!!

text: Jung saw libido as not merely sexual. It comes from the Latin word for "desire," which is actually a cognate of the word "love." Loving something does not always mean sex, it can be a deep desire to create and enjoy things. Sex is a clear example of this, but it also has other analogous aspects in all of life and spirituality.

I should also point out with this, my expertise does not include non-real time graphics, simulation, or AI. For example neural networks, genetic algorithms, or expert systems are AI areas out of my depth, ray tracing is not my graphics expertise, and almost any type of traditional simulation would be out of my range.
