Apple Mac Sales Surging
Updated from 10:34 a.m. EDT
iPhone fever may have obscured the robust growth in Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) Macs.
People familiar with the company say Apple is selling computers at a blockbuster pace. The Cupertino, Calif., company is expected to sell 2.35 million iMacs and MacBooks this quarter, TheStreet.com has learned.
A sales number that high would beat analysts' estimates by nearly 400,000 units. Pegging the average Mac sales price at a conservative $1,500, a beat of that magnitude stands to boost Apple's top line by about $600 million. Analysts expect the company to post fiscal first-quarter revenue of $5.94 billion.
The popularity of Apple's computer lineup has been fueled by a robust back-to-school buying spree and a revamped iMac roster, say industry watchers. Apple has about 3% of the world's computer market share, but it has gained ground as larger rivals like Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report) and Dell (DELL - Get Report) try to revive sluggish sales. Apple's strong growth prospects and its marketing and design cachet have earned the company a significant premium to many of its tech peers. Apple's market cap is $122 billion -- twice that of Dell, even though Dell's sales are around three times Apple's.Want more? Check out TheStreet.com TV video. Scott Moritz takes a closer look. |

CodabowAccessories: Quality comparison among the codabow diamond lineFrom Julianne Heinen The Codabow has a series called "Diamond" and there are 3 models: Diamond SX Diamon NX Diamond GX They are priced from low-high respectively. They claim on the website that the main difference is in appearance and that to know the sound difference you'll just have to find out with playing them. Does anyone know if there is much sound quality difference among the 3 models or is it really just in fancy looks only? From Gene Wie
When I tried the GX and SX sticks, I found the GX models to be somewhat warmer sounding, and the the SX models to be brighter and punchier. I don't personally have a preference, although in general I'm not a huge fan of the Codabow line.Posted on July 2, 2013 at 05:56 AM As far as carbon fiber goes, in the past I had a wonderful Arcus Concerto that I really enjoyed playing until I sold it to help pay for an equally wonderful old French bow! On viola I acquired a Benoit Rolland Spiccato bow that I've been getting more attached to (being able to adjust the camber to right where I want it is surprisingly awesome).

Sunday, 25 Apr 2010 12:04 AM
For the second time in four months, a judge has ordered a Brazilian to relinquish custody of a child to his U.S. father.
In this case, Hilma Aparecida Caldeira, a former member of Brazil's national volleyball team and ex-Olympic contender has been ordered to return her 4-year-old son to his American father, U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Orna Blum said Saturday.
Contacted in Brazil, the boy's 43-year-old father, Kelvin Birotte of Houston, said the court deadline for him to receive his son is Thursday. He said he had been unable to contact his estranged wife since arriving in Rio de Janeiro, but understood she filed an appeal to the custody order. Caldeira could not be reached for comment.
"I'm going to be here until something happens, good or bad," said Birotte, a chef by trade who declined to say how much he had spent on the four-year custody dispute.
Birotte said Caldeira brought their son to Brazil to visit relatives sometime in 2006 and stayed on as she filed the same year for divorce and custody of the child.
He last saw his son, also named Kelvin, at a court hearing in 2007, when the boy was 1 1/2-years-old. He turns 5 on Aug. 29.
A separate U.S.-related custody case that attracted international attention was resolved in December, when a Brazilian Supreme Court judge backed a federal court's ruling ordering Brazilian relatives to return 9-year-old Sean Goldman to his father, David Goldman, of Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The case dragged on for five years.
The boy's mother, Bruna Bianchi, took Sean to her native Brazil in 2004. She later divorced Goldman and remarried, prompting Goldman to initiate legal efforts to get his son back. Bianchi died in 2008 in childbirth, but Sean's Brazilian stepfather and grandmother continued to fight for custody in Brazil.
Birotte said he drew inspiration from the Goldman case, e-mailing messages of support to David Goldman's website, although the two fathers never met.
Despite Caldeira's local fame as an athlete, Birotte said he felt he was being treated fairly by Brazilian authorities.
"Personally, it's taking too long," he said. "But each legal system is different."
Uncertain even in what city his wife and son might be, Birotte appealed for her to call by posting a phone number on his Facebook page, which they have used to communicate during their divorce proceedings.
As for his son, Birotte said his message is simple: "Daddy loves him and he misses him."

Technical Note
Sample Size Requirements for Assessing Statistical Moments of Simulated Crop Yield Distributions
Received: 27 November 2012 / Revised: 4 February 2013 / Accepted: 18 March 2013 / Published: 2 April 2013
Abstract: Mechanistic crop growth models are becoming increasingly important in agricultural research and are extensively used in climate change impact assessments. In such studies, statistics of crop yields are usually evaluated without the explicit consideration of sample size requirements. The purpose of this paper was to identify minimum sample sizes for the estimation of average, standard deviation and skewness of maize and winterwheat yields based on simulations carried out under a range of climate and soil conditions. Our results indicate that 15 years of simulated crop yields are sufficient to estimate average crop yields with a relative error of less than 10% at 95% confidence. Regarding standard deviation and skewness, sample size requirements depend on the degree of symmetry of the underlying population's distribution. For symmetric distributions, samples of 200 and 1500 yield observations are needed to estimate the crop yields' standard deviation and skewness coefficient, respectively. Higher degrees of asymmetry increase the sample size requirements relative to the estimation of the standard deviation, while at the same time the sample size requirements relative to the skewness coefficient are decreased.

Anyone sail a Dufour 32 Classic?
There's one for sale in my area and I've looked for reviews of the boat but have found very few. I know that they're not too common but I was wondering if anyone knew how they performed in a variety of winds. My impression is that they are good in heavy winds but may be limited in light, due to the shorter mast and sail configuration. Has anyone raced one? The seller says it would be great to club race but I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance! |

BY AMITY SHLAES, Investor's Business Daily
Relief was the main sentiment of travelers who planned to pass through John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York when security workers there canceled the threat of a Christmastime strike. Yet two troubling questions linger.
The first involves the airport workers' specific grievances. They complained of making only $8 an hour. Why so low, you wonder, especially compared with what union workers in security-related jobs get.
The guards, hired by the contractor Air Serv Corp., were so angry that one of them even expressed a warning that those in safety fields often don't make explicit: that a labor action could compromise the public's security. "They will be completely unsafe," said the guard, Prince Jackson.
The second question is why the nation now confronts the prospect of more labor trouble that could inconvenience the public, or possibly jeopardize safety, whether in Camden, N.J., where firemen are warning of the danger of closing engine companies, or in Long Beach, Calif.,. where a clerical employees' strike delayed the movement of goods worth $1 billion a day in a recent work stoppage.
The answer to both questions lies in the failure of an old grand bargain made in the very name of safety.
Back in the early days of the labor movement, the idea of public-sector unions seemed absurd to trade unions and governments alike. Calvin Coolidge, as Massachusetts governor, led in the firing of policemen after riots that took place during a labor walkout. The future president said, "There is no right to strike against the public safety."
Even Franklin Roosevelt, father of our most aggressive labor law, the Wagner Act, drew the line at public-sector unions. "The process of collective bargaining as usually understood cannot be transplanted to public service," FDR said.
Roosevelt also made explicit why: "A strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to obstruct or prevent the operations of government until their demands are satisfied." This was, Roosevelt said, "unthinkable and intolerable."
Other political leaders identified more specifically what was out of balance about a public-sector union and a government employee negotiating at a table. The public-employee representatives were paid by the unions, and thus beholden to them. But the politicians across the table were also beholden to unions, for their campaign contributions or votes.
The interests of the average non-union American, the public, were not represented.
Gradually, however, the concept of public-sector unions became accepted. As the political scientist Daniel DiSalvo notes, New York Mayor Robert Wagner Jr., the son of the senator who sponsored the first great labor law, gave city workers their own "little Wagner Act," which permitted public-sector bargaining.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order affirming the rights of federal workers to bargain collectively. Workers exercised those rights, as those who lived through the disruptive school strikes in New York or other public-sector strikes recall.
Eventually a bargain was struck, and it, too, involved safety. Public-sector employees would reduce disruption at schools, police stations and fire stations. They wouldn't leave cities to riot. And the government employers, whether federal, state, city or town, would pay them a premium for that: a little more pay, a little extra overtime, more job security, the kind of safety we think of day to day.
This bargain appeared to work. The strikes abated. Yet the bargain eventually caused the very result the skeptical commentators had predicted years before. Politicians in office and public-sector union officials both had an interest in pushing compensation to the heavens.
Concerns that might have checked the city and state treasurers, such as the fiscal future of their town or state, paled in comparison with the immediate need of handing a packet across that table. Over and over again, public officers deluded themselves into believing that future economic growth and the attendant revenue would pay for dream packages.
The eventual result, as a Bloomberg News series has detailed, was absurdly high packages for public employees. The California state trooper with the $484,000 compensation package is only an extreme example of a national trend.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which manages JFK Airport, has 13 employee unions. Some longtime officials of those unions are paid more than $200,000 a year each, as the Empire Center for New York State Policy has revealed.
In the meantime, of course, the economy grew far more slowly than predicted, rendering such payments prohibitive.
One consequence has been to divide workers into two classes. First are the older workers who enjoy the sweetheart deals. The second class consists of the workers hired more recently, whether in unions or outside of them, often through contractors.
Cash-poor government offices such as the Port Authority turn to companies such as Air Serv because the Air Servs will pay less, those $8-an-hour wages, and offset some of the egregious labor costs generated by top union jobs.
In short, the real opponent of the underpaid, benefit-poor newbie is not the employer. It is fellow overpaid workers. The taxpayer can "afford" to pay public-sector wages higher than $8 an hour, but not $200,000 a year.
What this Christmas story tells us is that the grand bargain demands a rewrite. After all, as the furious security guard's statement reminds us, the bargain no longer functions — and we may not be safe.

I was given a sample of this and didn't have much hope as I really didn't like the BeneFit "Their Real" Mascara from the same manufacturer. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this went on well, extended the lash and didn't have the same flaking or clumping issues of their other product. I would and did buy this and would recommend it.

I recently re-purchaced this as I had used it years ago while I was in highschool and loved it. Unfortunately, it was not quite how I remembered it. After the first application I got satisfactory coverage on my lashes, however there was no extra noticable volume in my lashes, and only a slight increase in length. As the day progressed, I noticed this mascara began to crumble and settle under my eyes, NOT something I want to deal with through out the day! It's not a terrible mascara, but I find for the results I got from this, I might as well have just bought some drug store Maybeline instead. I will probably buy something more dramatic and set this one aside for my more "natural" days..and apply it lightly to avoid crumbly, sticky bits on my cheek bones.

Didn't do much, didn't lengthen and didn't volumize.....soooo hmmmm, not really sure what the hype was all about then. Reminded me of a cheap mascara that was more dried out then anything. The brush was rather large so I though that I was gonna have some serious lashes but was really let down with this one. I get better volume and length from loreal, needless to say wont be going back for a second tube, prob wont even finish the first one.

Got this as part of my mascara sampler kit both last year and this year. I enjoyed the length it gave me, but having small eyes, this gigantic brush was a little hard to use. The biggest down fall is that I found a few hours later it was under my eyes. I had NEVER had this problem with a mascara and i never use waterproof ones. Truthfully I was more impressed with cover girl clump crusher and I would choose that over this mascara any day.

I think think this is a great mascara if you want long lashes, not so much if you want volume. I usually want both (who doesn't), so that's why i "only" give it a 4 out of 5.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Not Sure

I don't get all the bad reviews on this mascara, it makes my lashes super long and dosen't clump like they're real by benefit. You can keep putting more coats of mascara on and it still dosen't clump. Never had my lashes look so long!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure

Didn't give me length or curl. Was just kindof.. There. Smudged on my bottom eyes two or three hours later, overall this mascara really isn't all that at all. Glad I just bought the sample

bought my first tube of this as a sample and was expecting greatness after benefit's "they're real" mascara. this product was so dry that i could barely get any on my eyelashes. i thought maybe the one that i purchased was old and decided to try again. the next one wasn't as dry, but was barely doing anything for my lashes. i had to use at least 2 coats to make a differe

Well, I thought that it would be an amazing mascara, people talking about it. But...I don't like it.I got the sample size and I'm glad that I got this. I would throw the full size. The brush size is all right nice and big, and it doesn't clump. But after an hour( yes I mean hour) I looked like a panda, black under eyes, and then I used it again, the same. Really disappointed by Benefit. I love They're real mascara but this is just meh...

everything about it just looks so tacky and cheap. This is however a really good volumising mascara and better to my previous elizabeth arden and max factor mascaras. The mascara brush is quite rough and i was superised to find some of my eye lashes coming out! It is generally quite hard to take off, but does work very well

Homes to be built on green belt double in a single year despite claims it would only be threatened in 'exceptional circumstances'
- At least 150,000 homes are planned on greenbelt land
- Over 1,000 acres will be used for railways, offices and warehouses
The number of homes planned for the green belt has almost doubled in a year – despite ministers' claims it would only be threatened in 'exceptional circumstances'.
Permission was given for more than 150,000 properties to be built on protected land, including some of the most scenic areas of the countryside, a report out yesterday showed.
In addition, over 1,000 acres will be lost to office blocks, warehouses and the High Speed 2 rail link, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England.
Unprotected: At least 150,00 homes and over 1,000 acres will be built on anf flooded with private homes, offices and the HS2 speed rail link
Protesters blame the increased threat level on government reforms to the planning system, which tells councils they should make a 'presumption in favour of sustainable development'.
Proposed schemes include 46,000 homes and 607 acres of warehouses across Yorkshire, swallowing up much of the countryside surrounding Leeds, York and Calderdale.
Up to 30,000 homes will be built as part of a development around Birmingham airport and 10,000 at sites across the South West close to Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and Gloucester.
CPRE said it has 'serious concerns' about the plans, and whether the
pledge to build on the green belt only in 'exceptional circumstances',
contained in new planning guidance to councils two years ago, was being
Sold: Green belt land for sale, such as this in Potter's Bar will see a large part of Britain's designated green belt land, introduced in the 60s, destroyed.
Its figures reveal that permission was granted for 150,464 homes on green belt land in the past year, compared with 81,000 in the 12 months before that – a rise of 84 per cent.
Just over 12 per cent of England has been designated as green belt land, a status introduced in the 1950s to protect the countryside around major towns and cities from urban sprawl.
Labour has put a £50billion budget limit on the High Speed 2 (HS2) rail line and threatened to withdraw backing if costs rise any further.
Transport spokesman Maria Eagle supports the plan to run 225mph trains from London to Birmingham – and later to Leeds and Manchester – but says there are 'red lines' for her party. Her warning comes amid fears of a £30billion budget overrun.
She said in an interview: 'I am not willing to see this project start draining money from other vital rail projects – it's got to be delivered within the current budget.
'Nobody who is delivering it should be under any illusions that I will allow it to go up and up. That would put our commitment to it at risk. It shouldn't be going up above that £50billion cap.'
The line's budget was £30billion when given the go-ahead in 2010 but that has now risen to £42.6billion, and Treasury insiders are reportedly working on £73billion.
Miss Eagle also called for HS2's management to be replaced by 'more experienced experts'.
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls has already expressed concern about HS2 while former Labour ministers Alistair Darling, Lord Mandelson and Lord Prescott are opposed.
But ministers are believed to be divided over its future, with Communities Secretary Eric Pickles keen on preservation, and Chancellor George Osborne and Planning Minister Nick Boles saying it should not be immune from development.
Spiers, chief executive of the CPRE said: 'The green belt is hard to
defend at the best of times, given the development pressures it faces.
'The job becomes almost impossible when powerful ministers such as the Chancellor and Nick Boles give out signals that it is up for grabs and that the need for growth trumps all other considerations.'
Mr Boles said earlier this year that an area the size of London must be built on to solve housing shortages and spoke of the Government's 'moral' duty to prevent home ownership becoming the preserve of the rich.
Councils have been
told they must set land aside for 270,000 homes each year over the next
five years and some have been ordered to review their green belt
The Government hopes that by doing so it can deal with the 2million people on housing waiting lists and spark a boom in the construction sector.
But the
move has been unpopular with Conservative backbenchers, and 20 Tory MPs
have now joined an all-party group set up last month to oppose green
belt development.
Health Minister Anna Soubry has written to Mr Boles saying local authorities had 'no alternative but to agree development on green belt land'.
The CPRE says former industrial – or brownfield – land could provide for 1.5million new homes.

The Motherlode Mine is a Mining training area that was added to Old School RuneScape on 24 April 2014. It is located in the Dwarven Mine and was discovered by Prospector Percy. Players can enter the caverns from the southern portion of the Dwarven Mine under Falador and Ice Mountain.
There are no quest requirements necessary to enter this area. Players must have at least level 30 Mining to mine here and you will need to be P2P.
Players can mine the ore veins within the mine. Players will collect pay-dirt, which can be mined for 60 experience each. A maximum of twenty-four may be mined in one vein.
When finished mining, players can clean the pay-dirt by depositing it into hopper at the water circuit. The player will be able to see their pay-dirt flowing toward the sack at the other end of the water circuit; note that if the player logs out before their pay-dirt reaches the sack, it is NOT lost. After cleaning the pay-dirt, players receive mining experience for cleaning the ore, which can then be retrieved from the sack. Players can receive ores that range from coal to runite, depending upon their level. Ores are determined when mined from the vein, so a player can receive ore above their current level if they use a mining boost such as a dwarven stout or the dragon pickaxe's special attack. The Ore mined is based on the level of the player whilst mining, so boosting for higher level ores will only work during mining the paydirt, rather than cleaning them.
Ore | Level | Experience | |
Coal | 30 | 0 experience | |
Golden nugget | 30 | 0 experience | |
Gold ore | 40 | 15 experience | |
Mithril ore | 55 | 30 experience | |
Adamantite ore | 70 | 45 experience | |
Runite ore | 85 | 75 experience |
Once the sack is filled with at least 81 pay-dirt, the player may no longer deposit pay-dirt and must first begin emptying the sack before more can be deposited. In about 3 full inventory loads, the player will receive a message saying that the sack is getting full, which will let you know you must empty it (The sack can hold 104 pay-dirt if you do 4 inventory loads of 26 ore).
Occasionally the water wheels may break; players must carry a hammer to fix them. Hammers can be found in several of the crates, which surround the machine. Fixing the machine gives players Smithing experience equal to 1.5 times their level (e.g. A player with 50 Smithing will gain 75 Smithing experience for fixing). Alternatively, you can get a hammer out of the crate closest to the hopper. Simply deposit your pay dirt, take the hammer, repair the wheels, then drop the hammer. This saves a spot in your inventory which, over long periods of time, can easily add up.
Rock fallsEdit
Occasionally in certain areas of the mine, there may be rock falls blocking the players way. These can be mined granting 10 experience, but more will fall soon, and if the player is in the way, the player can take 3-4 damage.
Golden nuggetsEdit
Golden nuggets are obtained randomly depending on your Mining level by searching the sack after cleaning the pay-dirt. They are the currency used at Prospector Percy's Nugget Shop. Percy will sell players the prospector kit, the coal bag, the gem bag, and soft clay packs, which contain 100 soft clay.
- Prospector helmet - 40 golden nuggets
- Prospector jacket - 60 golden nuggets
- Prospector legs - 50 golden nuggets
- Prospector boots - 30 golden nuggets
- Soft clay pack - 10 golden nuggets
- Coal bag - 100 golden nuggets
- Gem bag - 100 golden nuggets
Motherlode Mine XP and ProfitEdit
Note: All rates are rough estimates and may vary; based on Mod John C's forum post on 22 April 2014. Edit
XP/Profit per hour | Level 31 | Level 41 | Level 61 | Level 70 | Level 85 | Level 99 |
Mining XP per hour | 22,006 | 26,055 | 29,260 | 30,325 | 32,952 | 35,140 |
Profit per hour | 10,000 | 69,000 | 100,000 | 134,000 | 174,000 | 210,000 |
Iron ore vs Granite vs Motherlode MineEdit
- Note: Rates are compared with other methods in which iron ore and granite are power-mined.
Level | Iron Ore | Granite [1] | Motherlode Mine |
61 | 49,350 | 40,410 | 29,260 |

Subcontractor files case against PCC
- Published: 7/02/2013 at 05:05 PM
- Online news:
A company subcontracted to build five police stations on Thursday filed a petition with the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) against PCC Development and Construction Co (PCC), accusing it of fraud.
The petition was filed on behalf of S.L. Development and Construction Co by Kornpat Paiboonsirikul, a construction engineer, with Pol Lt-Col Thawal Mangkhang, the DSI's special cases specialist.
Mr Kornpat said S.L. Development and Construction was subcontracted by PCC on July 8, 2011 to build one large police station and four small ones. The median price set for the large station was 19.2 million baht and for the small ones between 5.5 million and 5.8 million baht.
The company expected to make a profit of at least eight million baht.
But from thorough examination of the blueprints by engineers, the company found that the large station would cost 26 million baht, not 19.2 million baht, to complete and the smaller ones seven million baht each.
From this finding, his company believed the prices under the subcontract were much lower than the actual costs, showing fraudulence on the part of PCC.
Mr Kornpat said he suspected PCC had no intention of completing the project from the beginning, but wanted to put the blame on subcontractors.
DSI chief Tarit Pengdit said he was not worried by a defamation lawsuit filed by former deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban, adding that he would continue to pursue the case based on the evidence.

Free Speech Residence, Western Addition
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2014Strut, Western Addition
Thursday, December 18th, 2014Nike is Going to Tow Your Car This Saturday Night If You've Parked on Certain Blocks of Gough, GG, Webster, Fulton, Scott, Fell…
Friday, October 17th, 2014I've already made this post, but I've just come across the route map for 2014's Nike Women's Half Marathon, and if this tiny blog can prevent just one unnecessary tow-job this weekend, well that's blogesse oblige, mon frere.
If I were Nike, of Beaverton, Oregon, I'd refund the $500-$1000 tow fees that a bunch of San Franciscans are going to be getting come Sunday morning, on a case-by-case basis.
If I were Nike…
All the deets on street closures:
The Grand Southern Entrance to San Francisco Japantown: A Graffitoed Gate with Naked, Hanging CFL Bulb
Friday, August 15th, 20141000-Yard Stare: Incompetent SFMTA MUNI Abandons #38 Geary Riders During Japantown Ramen Festival
Monday, July 21st, 2014Look at these poor lost souls on Geary staring towards the west in a futile attempt to spot the next inbound #38 Geary.
You can tell when things get bad at a MUNI stop when people just plop themselves down out on the street on the stop itself.
Is Geary a "livable street?" I have no idea. And actually, it doesn't matter if this is how the SFMTA does its primary function. Should SFMTA directors be boasting about their junkets to "other cities across the globe?" I don't think so. Hey, it's headshot day! Hold it, hold it, hold it, say "cheese!" Snap.
Would SF be better off without the relatively inconsequential "Sunday Streets" program if it could get a functional MUNI in exchange?
I think so.
Would SF be better off without Cheryl Brinkman on the SFMTA board?
I think so.
Here's another example, from 2012:
SFMTA director Cheryl Brinkman said that she supported the proposal because she has been considering the reverse situation. "How would we defend making parking free on Sundays if we've been paying all these years?" she asked rhetorically.
OK fine, but then in 2014 she voted to make parking free on Sundays. Oh well.
And is this true? I don't know:
In any event, the Directors of the SFMTA don't seem to be concerned at all about making MUNI work better using the money we already give them. The SFMTA doesn't need more money, the SFMTA needs to manage the money we give it more better. IMO.
"Meat Day" Comes on the 29th of Every Month in Japantown – But Uh Oh: "Except for Sausage, Bacon, Ham"
Friday, October 4th, 2013This is a monthly thing for four-star Yelp-rated Nijiya Market at 1737 Post St (between Buchanan and Webster) in Godforsaken, windblown, Redeveloped, and concrete-and-clay-and-general-decay Japantown.*
But what's this,"EXCEPT FOR SAUSAGE, BACON, HAM?"
Those are like the three best animals, man!
A good thing is when the have cases of "imported" Sapporo Draft (aka Premium) (kara サッポロビール株式会社 Sapporo Bīru Kabushiki-gaisha) on sale for $13. (Yeah, imported from Ontario, Canada(!), but I guess an import is an import.)
Anyway, enjoy your Meat Days, San Francisco!
Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.
*I haven't a clue on how to best fix earthquake-unsafe J-Town. Before the Great Recession, the solution was going to be something like 500 new condos in the nabe, each with a $100,000 fee tacked on to help pay for a new Japantown Garage and whatnot. But some businesses inside the horrible mall buildings are thriving and some are not, so it's not an easy call to have a giant implosion and just start over. And, up to now, there's been no money for that kind of thing anyway…
Nobody Uses the Pedestrian Bridge Over Geary at Steiner as a Bridge – Here's How People Get Across
Thursday, October 3rd, 2013Before Andrea Koskey became yet another San Francisco Examiner writer who sold out to The Man by taking a gig* with political scion / man-child Gavin Newsom, she was writing stuff like this about the unused ped bridge over Geary at Steiner.
So like SFGov "improved" the Western Addition by tearing down a mess of Victorians (which would be worth 7 figures a piece these days) to replace them with concrete and clay and general decay.
Next, it's going to improve things by tearing down some of the concrete, when it feels like it. (Is "chop shop" a verb? Yes, it's become a palliative cliche in D5.)
OK fine.
Here's how things stand today, with the recent changes to the newish crosswalk.
Click to expand
Compare with the sitch on the other side of Fillmore at Webster, where there's no crosswalk yet.
*Does health care start on your first day with Lt-Guv Gav, you know, with no waiting period? I think so. There are lots of other benefits too.
The Geary Expressway Scramble – These Peds on Webster Have the Light, But They Don't Have a Crosswalk – Oh Well
Tuesday, October 1st, 2013If want to get across Geary at Webster from the west side of the street, you have a couple options:
1. Cross Webster, walk up the ugly ped bridge spiral to get across Geary to walk down the opposite spiral, and then cross Webster again; or
2. Wait for a green on Webster and just trot across to your destination.
Interestingly, the similar ped bridge over nearby Steiner now has a crosswalk under it.
NB: These ped bridges sometimes have thugs and raccoon families on them.

A New Dawn was the only song I enjoyed off the album, would have been nice if it were the single instead.

Airstrikes in Libya
Despite U.S. warnings, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates secretly carried out airstrikes against Islamist militias inside Libya. This comes three years after the killing of Libyan dictator Muamar Ghadafi and U.S. efforts to try to stabilize the country. "Outside interference in Libya exacerbates current divisions and undermines Libya's democratic transition," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said to reporters.

He joined Tom Temin and Emily Kopp on the Federal Drive to discuss how Tefft will have to go about his job.

Maybe the United States was never really finished in Iraq. Regardless, events of the past two weeks have returned that nation to a front and center position for Congress and the administration. Paul Bremer was U.S. Presidential envoy to Iraq in 2003 and 2004. A career diplomat, he was thrust into the spotlight as temporary head of the Iraqi government after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Insider threat programs must find the right 'trust but verify' balance
NSA, State and nearly every other agency are developing "fixes" to protect unauthorized employees from taking data.

SED International Holdings Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results
For more detailed information on the Company's financial results, please refer to SED's related Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which will be accessible online at www.sec.gov or www.SEDonline.com.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in maintaining and evaluating the Company's ongoing financial results and trends. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates overall management with respect to such indicators. Non-GAAP measures disclosed in this press release include adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share, as well as revenue adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and other items. Management believes that adjusted revenue is a useful measure for evaluating current period performance as compared with prior periods and for understanding underlying trends.
Management believes that operating loss adjusted for restructuring, integration and other items is a useful measure to help investors better assess and understand the Company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods or forecasting performance for future periods, primarily because management views the excluded items to be outside of SED's normal operating results. Management analyzes operating (loss) income without the impact of these items as an indicator of ongoing margin performance and underlying trends in the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling says he will become a better player for having represented England at the World Cup, according to Sky Sports.
Sterling was part of Roy Hodgson's squad in Brazil and played in all three of the Three Lions' games as England bowed out at the group stage. Sterling played the full 90 minutes of the defeat to Italy, just over an hour of the reverse against Uruguay and was introduced as a substitute for the final 30 minutes of the draw with Costa Rica.
"For any young person to be involved in such a big tournament is obviously a great experience and it was no different for myself," he said. "It was a good feeling to get out there on the pitch and show the world what I could do. Obviously on a team performance level we are disappointed with how the tournament went.
"We would have liked to be in the tournament up until now and all the way to the final but that was not the case," Sterling continued. "It was a learning curve for me - an experience I am willing to learn from. Hopefully we build from this World Cup experience and go even further in the next four years."
Sterling was sent off in a pre-World Cup friendly against Ecuador, dismissed for a challenge on Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia. Valencia also saw red for his reaction, with Sterling banned from the following friendly.
