JNPR: Market Cheers Over 'Less Bad'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For years, the prevailing debate among the networking companies has always centered on two companies, market leader Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) or Juniper Networks (JNPR - Get Report). At one point, the comparison between the two was not even close as Cisco was one of the largest companies in the world, according to market cap. But some questionable business moves allowed Juniper and lesser known names to encroach on its territory, becoming a new growth story within the sector. It is remarkable how things have changed.
These days, questions surface about the overall health of Juniper's business -- meanwhile Cisco has been resurgent, demonstrating it has not forgotten how to execute and deserves to regain its "Wall Street darling" status. However, networking companies like Juniper that are approaching the status of expensive need to be evaluated not only for growth prospects, but also for the overall health of carrier spending. A significant portion of its revenue is drawn from names such as AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ).
Even though Cisco, the market leader now appears to present the better value, Juniper continues to offer some tantalizing hopes. Investors looking for a "Cisco-like recovery" may find this may not be entirely out of the question.
In addition to an improvement in carrier spending, Juniper is poised to release several new products that should reinforce its commitment to growth and refute the argument that it is no longer capable of running its business effectively. But did it do enough convincing in its most recent earnings announcement?
The Quarter That Was
Last week the company reported first-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street estimates but showed a drop in profits -- remarkably, it was also the fifth consecutive quarter in which Juniper showed shrinking gross margins. The company reported a profit of $16.27 million or 3 cents per share -- representing a decline of over 87% from the previous year. So as much as I want to make a bullish case for the stock, this trend does not inspire enough confidence to warrant it. Revenue arrived at $1.03 billion -- also down from the $1.10 billion it reported the previous year -- while reporting 16 cents per share in adjusted income.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Vol 49 N0 11
Before dawn on 1 May, two United States' AC130 gunships from Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti destroyed a house in Dusamareb, central Somalia, not far from the Ethiopian border. It was the fifth US attempt to take out terrorist targets in Somalia (AC Vol 49 No 6) and this time it worked, killing Aden Hashi 'Ayro', overall military commander of the Islamist group Al Shabaab (the Youth). Also killed were Sheikh Muhidin Mohamed Omar, half a dozen senior Al Shabaab commanders and Ayro's brother. His wife and children, and people from nearby houses, were also reported dead.

The man, the legend, the most adorable, foul-mouthed stand-up comedian ever—Aziz Ansari has brought us so much joy over the years. He may be best known for his role as Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation, but those of us who watch his stand-up material know that there's a whole other, magnificent side to him.Here are a few of his best, NSFW moments ever.
1. His Kanye West stories will never cease to amaze us:
2. Is child molestation ever funny? Only in Ansari's world:
3. Justin Bieber is a lot more gangsta than we previously thought. Thanks Aziz, for bringing this dark side of him to our attention:
4. Who knew a harmless grapefruit could inspire so much naughty language?
5. The only thing better than his Yeezy stories, are his R. Kelly stories. And nothing's more NSFW than an R. Kelly concert story:

Laurel Glen is divided into three regions: Sonoma Mountain Estate Cabernet, California Heartland Reds, and Argentine old vine Cabernet and Malbec from the province of Mendoza. Each region is comprised of two wines: special lot selection and vineyard blend. Vineyards are sustainably farmed and winemaking is traditional and non-interventionist. All Laurel Glen wines reflect their vineyard origins, and are consciously made to favor depth and complexity over fruit-forward expression.

KNOWN ISSUE: Replication hung sending data up after applying SMP 7.1 SP2 Rollup v4
Article:TECH189467 | | | Created: 2012-05-23 | | | Updated: 2013-02-01 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH189467 |
NOTE: If you are experiencing this particular known issue, we recommend that you Subscribe to receive email notification each time this article is updated. Subscribers will be the first to learn about any releases, status changes, workarounds or decisions made. |
After applying SMP 7.1 SP2 Rollup v4 (see HOWTO64413), it seems to be an issue that was introduced by this Rollup where Replication is taking longer to finish in comparison as it used to be before. Replication seems to be running for days and it keeps running and updating the progress status but it doesn't finish in a timely fashion.
Symantec Management Platform 7.1 SP2 with Rollup v4
Known Issue. The problem was introduced by a new stored procedure called 'spGetNonSystemChildOnlyRoles'.
Symantec has identified a potential issue with ITMS 7.1 SP2 v4 that may affect replication performance on very large databases.
This issue has been reported to the Symantec Development team. A permanent fix is planned for a future release.
Customers can run the command "sp_spaceused Evt_NS_Object_Replication_Status" in the SQL Management Studio to determine if the Rows field is greater than 2 million.
If it is anticipated that the Row count in this table will be less than 2 million, it is not necessary to apply the solution. Please note that this solution is specific to SMP 7.1 SP2 Rollup v4 only.
1. Download the attached 'Pointfix_eTrack2791898_V4Replication_Tune.zip' and uncompress files from the archive to the NS hard drive.
Note: Do not place PointFix binaries within Altiris directory tree.
2. Run as administrator PFinstaller.EXE, click on 'Install' button
3. Old binaries will be automatically backuped to the same location where PFinstaller is and replaced with the new ones.
4. This pointfix needs to be applied in all SMPs in the Hierarchy that also have installed SMP 7.1 SP2 Rollup v4.
Then, when the next Replication starts it should finish with the previous speeds.
1. Make sure that Backup folder exist in the same location as PFinstaller.EXE.
2. Run as administrator PFinstaller.EXE, click 'Uninstall' button

Samsung Galaxy Tab drops to $299 on contract with Sprint Michael Kwan / Thursday, January 13, 2011, 11:43 am / No CommentsEven though it hasn't been out for all that long, it seems that the price is starting to take some mild dips on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

We don't have a price, but we can assume it will be roughly $50 less than the $400 Sprint 3G Galaxy Tab.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Best of the three in this fantastic series. Like his other books -- I liked it, but was all the sex really necessary? The politics come to the fore eventually in what looks like the last novel in this series. Again, Morgan blends thriller. science fiction and mystery elements into an action-packed story with political punch. Recensione su: http://wp.me/p3X6aw-8p Review at:http://wp.me/p3X6aw-8p no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345499778, Paperback)Richard K. Morgan has received widespread praise for his astounding twenty-fifth-century novels featuring Takeshi Kovacs, and has established a growing legion of fans. Mixing classic noir sensibilities with a searing futuristic vision of an age when death is nearly meaningless, Morgan returns to his saga of betrayal, mystery, and revenge, as Takeshi Kovacs, in one fatal moment, joins forces with a mysterious woman who may have the power to shatter Harlan's World forever.Once a gang member, then a marine, then a galaxy-hopping Envoy trained to wreak slaughter and suppression across the stars, a bleeding, wounded Kovacs was chilling out in a New Hokkaido bar when some so-called holy men descended on a slim beauty with tangled, hyperwired hair. An act of quixotic chivalry later and Kovacs was in deep: mixed up with a woman with two names, many powers, and one explosive history. In a world where the real and virtual are one and the same and the dead can come back to life, the damsel in distress may be none other than the infamous Quellcrist Falconer, the vaporized symbol of a freedom now gone from Harlan's World. Kovacs can deal with the madness of AI. He can do his part in a battle against biomachines gone wild, search for a three-centuries-old missing weapons system, and live with a blood feud with the yakuza, and even with the betrayal of people he once trusted. But when his relationship with "the" Falconer brings him an enemy specially designed to destroy him, he knows it's time to be afraid. After all, the guy sent to kill him is himself: but younger, stronger, and straight out of hell. Wild, provocative, and riveting, Woken Furies is a full-bore science fiction spectacular of the highest order–from one of the most original and spellbinding storytellers at work today. From the Hardcover edition. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:03:18 -0400) Takeshi Kovacs battles against biomachines gone wild, searches for a centuries-old missing weapons systm, and endures the betrayal of people he once trusted. |

Buenos Aires QuestionsQuestion asked in : Buenos Aires - 3 years ago
Is it smart to go to Buenos Aires alone if you're an 18 year old girl?Give your answer
9 answers
Silvana M. says :
May 3, 2011
I'm from Buenos Aires and I think you will be fine. But being that young it would be useful to know a bit of Spanish, not being naif and learning something about the city and it's particular ways before coming here. I would recommend you to rent and apartment / hotel room in touristic areas (such as Palermo, San Telmo, etc.). Buenos Aires is a lovely city, but really very very big.

It's a great city, but you should be careful anyway. I've just been there and if you walk around too tourist-looking you may attract the attention of some pickpockets. Be aware of your stuff and your surroundings and you should be fine.

Thanks for the answer! :) Yeah, I'll have studied Spanish for 6 years when/if I go there so hopefully won't be a problem! :)
Is it possible to rent an apartment being only 18?

Alicia H. says :
May 3, 2011
Not a 100% sure, maybe rent an apartment somewhere (like Palermo)and just see the town and the surroundings like Mar Del Plata, Iguazu Falls, Bariloche... Not sure I'll go when I'm 18, perhaps later, but still.

In 2012 we went on holiday to Italy and stayed in a village called Lecchi.
While sitting under olive and pine trees in the Tuscan sun I played with colour and triangles.
It didn't take long for me to realise that the very simple triangle I was mindlessly playing with had huge potential, the colours glowed in the dappled sunlight and I loved the way they fitted together. I spent the rest of the holiday making triangles out of scraps, it took us 3 days to drive home and when I wasn't driving I was sitting crocheting with a lap full of orange and pink triangles. Lecchi was first published in the very first edition of Simply Crochet, I was really proud to see it on the very first cover.
Lecchi is one of the patterns featured in my upcoming "Madder Triangles" book, which will be published early September 2013
The yarn for Lecchi is available as a "Dyed to order" Kit, which you can find on our website HERE
The Natural Dye Studio's Dazzling 4 ply/sock
400 metres/437 Yards - 100 grams
600 gms (6 skeins) of Paracombe - background colour and Filler
200 gms (2 skeins) of Blackmoor Gate
90 gms (1 skein) of Lundy
90 gms (1 skein) of Dulverton
90 gms (1 skein) of Combe Martin Crochet hook in size 3.25 mm.
Tapestry needle for sewing in loose ends. SIZE, & TENSION
Lecchi measures approx. 47 x 49 inches Each blocked triangle motif measures approx. 4 inches from corner to corner.
Everyone has a different tension, so before you start your project you will need to measure your first motif. Experiment with a few hook sizes to get the effect you want and then block the finished motif. Once it is blocked you can measure it.

What a circus! You know its bad when Jimma is calling you out. The US is giving Egypt billions in foreign aid and the WH isnt sure who its dealing with? Jimmy Carter Corrects Obama - Jimmy Carter - Fox Nation
I wish Jimmy Carter would just go away ! A terrible gutless president who never shut's up. Having Jimmy Carter give Presidential advice is like having Rod Rust give head coaching advice.
How? Funny they burn our flag but not our money.... The threat of cutting off aid would work wonders with them.
Great ! As president he walked around in slippers hoping that he would not step on anyone's feet. Thirty five years later, he thinks he is Alexander Haig !
Anyone who values our relationship with Israel would do themselves a favor by reading this article before even thinking about cutting off aid to Egypt....Jimmy Carter included. Egypt vs. Israel: How Congress Weighs the Risks of Cutting Our Aid to Cairo - Zvika Krieger - The Atlantic

"Where we see those patterns of exclusivity," Raphael said, "it suggests a possible pathway." The group has tested Dendrix on cancers in which the pathways were already known, just to see if the program would find them. Indeed, the pathways "just fall right out of the data," Raphael said.
For the AML paper, Raphael's group developed an improved algorithm Dendrix++ which better handles extremely rare mutations. Dendrix++ picked out three potential new pathways in AML for doctors to investigate.
Raphael and Vandin, along with computational biology graduate students Max Leiserson and Hsin-Ta Wu, are continuing to improve their algorithms and to apply them to new datasets. The group recently started putting the algorithms to work on what's called the Pan-Cancer project, which looks for commonalities in mutations across cancer types.
"For us as computational people, it's fun to push these algorithms and apply them to new datasets," Raphael said. "At the same time, in analyzing cancer data we hope that the algorithms produce actionable information that is clinically important."

Allaah has enjoined kindness in all things, as it says in the hadeeth: Allaah is Kind and He loves kindness in all things. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5678) and Muslim (2165).
Muslim (2592) narrated that Jareer (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: Whoever is deprived of kindness is deprived of goodness.
Remember that whoever has any kind of animals must protect them and give them food and water. It is not permissible for him to expose them to danger. In the hadeeth that you referred to, the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that a woman entered Hell because of a cat that she detained and did not feed it or let it eat from the vermin of the earth, i.e., insects. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2365) and Muslim (904).
It was narrated that Abd-Allaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on a journey, and he went to relieve himself. We saw a bird with two chicks and we took away her chicks, and the bird started flapping her wings. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came and said: Who has upset this bird by taking her children? Give her children back to her. Narrated by Abu Dawood (2675); classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
The point is that whomever Allaah has given any of these animals to look after, such as if they are in his care or he is raising them and keeping them for some need, then he must look after them and treat them kindly.
Based on that, then you have to repent to Allaah for several reasons:
1 - Disobeying your parents whom Allaah has commanded you to honour and obey so long as there is no sin involved in doing so.
2 - These kittens were in your care but you failed to look after them, and that led to their death.
3 - You upset their mother by separating her and her children, then her little ones died.
Undoubtedly the feelings of sin that you describe indicate that your heart is alive and that you have sincere feelings of regret for what you have done.
But perhaps that has gone too far, such that you feel despair, and this undoubtedly is not permissible, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Say: O Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful
[al-Zumar 39:53]
What about the vastness of Allaah's mercy, which encompasses all things? What about Allaah's acceptance of His slaves' repentance, even from major sins?
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us of a man who killed ninety-nine people, then he killed a devoted worshipper, thus completing one hundred, then he repented sincerely and Allaah accepted his repentance - as is narrated in al-Saheehayn. What is your sin in comparison to his? He killed one hundred people then repented, and Allaah accepted his repentance. So you have no right to despair of the forgiveness and mercy of Allaah. Do righteous deeds and always remember the words of Allaah , may He be exalted: Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds [Hood 11:114].
And Allaah knows best.

Quick snow melt leaves big mess behind
UPDATED 5:14 PM CDT Mar 10, 2014Frost remains three feet deep as warm temps quickly melt Iowa's snow.
Video TranscriptIt seems everyone has been out and about today trying to enjoy the fresh warm air. But the nice weather is already causing problems for homeowners. KCCI's Cynthia Fodor shows us. Cynthia. Take a look at this ...Today's massive meltdown on top of our frozen ground... is creating flooded yards like this. This sign in this Ames neighborhood says Lot for sale..but look at the lot..it looks like a Lake for sale. Houses on quiet residential streets now are waterfront properties. Birds are singing and the snow is screaming as it melts away... winter headed down the drain...a beautiful sound but not always a pretty sight... with yards frozen solid for months suddenly filling up like ponds. "24;40 WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE AN INGROUND SWIMMING POOL I THINK, IT WILL TAKE ALL SUMMER FOR IT TO DRY OUT." Michael Olgren is digging a trench for the water to flow faster. "11;00 a lot OF FLOODING GOING ON.." At True Value, folks loading up on ice melt a few days ago are now carrying out sandbags to direct flooding away from foundations. You can see how water corroded the siding here. "12'00 WE'RE GETTING a lot OF BASEMENT LEAKAGE...WATER SEEPING IN BECAUSE a lot OF THAT ICE BUILDS UP AGAINST THE HOUSE." So what do you do? Joe Bergeson suggests using push brooms, wet vacs, and sump pumps like this that hook up to a garden hose. "1146 IT SUCKS THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE PUMP...AND THEN YOU CAN PICK IT UP AND MOVE IT SOMEWHERE DOWN THE YARD." At the Olgren's, the water's moving down the yard on its own. "25;15 IT'LL ALL RUN THERE, INTO THE BACKYARD AND TURN IT INTO ANOTHER SWIMMING POOL, laugh" "25;36 GOTTA LOVE IOWA." I checked with the National Weather Service and was told the ground is frozen down nearly 3 feet... and it will be at least mid- April before the ground frost is thawed. Stacey.

Instead of having a place card for your table its a bottle of wheat beer. I have heard its a beer thats better fresh, whats the time frame on that? Its still in the primary can it sit for another few weeks, and just bottle 2 months ahead of time? Will it still be in a good tasty zone or will it start to taste like @^$#$&?
Two months is not that long. Bottle it, let it carbonate, then put it in a cool, dark place. Wheat beer does not "go bad" in a few months, it just begins to lose a little flavor. Keep it cool and you should have no problems.

MEET Venkatesh Prasad, a technical expert with Ford, on what drives automobile design
K. Venkatesh Prasad, known as "Ford's What Next Guy", predictably talks about the amazing automotive possibilities that lie ahead. Sample these. A diabetic is getting hypoglycaemic and a device strapped to him issues a gentle alert which is then picked up by the car's computing system and amplified. Warned, he eats a banana. Allergic to pollens, a passenger is warned by his car that an area ridden with pollen lies ahead and he takes a route that by-passes the danger zone.
In short, Prasad — who was on a short visit to Chennai — talks about cars knowing their owners as well as owners know their cars. Sooner or later, this will be a commonplace reality. It's already found in certain forms. Group and senior technical leader, Vehicle Design and Infotronics, Ford Research and Innovation, Prasad made this statement in the context of Ford SYNC, a voice-activated system that integrates three components — the brought-in, the built-in and the beamed-in — through applications created by Ford and third-party developers.
Take a view of the vertical slice of the architecture of SYNC and related technologies, and you will notice three components — the built-in, the brought-in and the beamed-in, says Prasad. Built-in components such as microphone and loudspeakers are things not taken in and out of the car. In contrast, brought-in components such as an USB drive and a hand phone, are services and devices taken in and out of the car. Beamed-in components such Internet music, search services for points of interest or traffic info come from the cloud.
A seamless interplay between the three ensures ease of use and increases driver's safety. For example, a driver calls out a command activating the mobile, which sends out a message to the cloud for a desired service. It could be anything, a traffic update or direction to a destination or music. The voice-activated SYNC system, offered in 14 Ford models and 5 Lincoln models, is an example of this interplay.
Connectivity between cars is the next level. He paints a hypothetical situation of five drivers on a road made treacherous by numerous hairpin bends. Four drivers are driving within a short distance of each other, and the fifth is many hairpin bends behind the rest. As a result of a cloudburst, the wiper blades in the cars of the four drivers get active and this action sets off an alarm reflected by the system in the fifth driver's car. Prasad asks which is of greater use — a general weather update about the possibility of rain or a specific warning that a cloudburst has overtaken motorists just further away.
Prasad believes the faint roars of such highly interactive machines are already heard.

WILKES-BARRE – A mentoring program run by King's College will be available to juvenile offenders for at least another two years thanks to a $145,000 grant.
The college's Juvenile Justice College Mentoring Program received a Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency Byrne Justice Assistance Grant to fund the second and third year of the program that uses student volunteers to mentor first-time, nonviolent juvenile offenders in Luzerne County.
The program that began in October 2011 is coordinated by the college's criminal justice/sociology and psychology departments, and works in conjunction with the District Attorney's Office, Public Defender's Office, juvenile probation services and county judges.
Currently, 19 volunteer mentors meet twice weekly for two hours with juveniles to help with homework, participate in educational activities and provide support.
College spokesman John McAndrew said 26 juveniles were involved in the program last year. This semester, the college has 18 new participants and three voluntarily returning juveniles.
The grant will allow for each six-week session to end with a field trip to an educational site and a community service project, according to the college.
Mentoring sessions for the next two years will cover training, meals, bus fare, room rentals, field trips, community service projects, curriculum development, assessment tools and stipends for the program team and research/administrative assistant.
The anticipated outcome of the program is a positive impact on the juvenile's behavior, academic performance, and desire to pursue higher education or technical trade, according to the grant letter. Concurrently, the juveniles will learn how to be held accountable for their actions and to understand the impact they have had on their victims and on their community.
The mentoring program also works with the county's Youth Aid Panels, a program set up for juveniles who commit non-violent first offenses.
Juveniles will get a chance to appear before the panel, located in each county school district, and complete a three-month program. If the program is completed successfully, the juvenile will not go through the court system and won't have a criminal record.
Sheena Delazio, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7235.

Wow am I ticked off!!!!
I sold my RUGER LCP to another member of this forum yesterday. We used paypal for the transaction. The money was on its way to my account when Paypal reversed the transaction, and CLOSED my account. All because in the "memo" section of the transaction, the buyer typed out the dreaded words "RUGER LCP"
Apparently Paypal restricts the use of their services to where you cannot buy or sell firearms, ammo, gun parts, etc.
I will NOT use paypal anymore.
I refunded his money, hopefully they will not stop that transaction, so he can mail me a check. This is ridiculous!!!

Greetings from NYC!! I've been up here two nights and am already exhausted and sore- but I can't complain since it's also been a lot of fun. I've got a ton of iPhone photos to share next week but am starting with my favorite dress I wore all day yesterday. I got so many compliments on this LWD (that was less than $100!!!) and it was ideal for running all over the city from taxis to shows to brunches and meetings! My approach to dressing this season during fashion week was to just try and be myself -- and wear simple pieces that I love, instead of going over the top. Thanks Julia for snapping these photos!

Intermountain Community Bancorp Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2010 Results With Improving Results And Stronger Credit Quality
SANDPOINT, Idaho, Feb. 11, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermountain Community Bancorp (OTCBB:IMCB), the holding company for Panhandle State Bank, reported fourth quarter 2010 results with improved net interest margin, much improved loan quality metrics, and continuing strong liquidity. The net loss applicable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter totaled $1.1 million, or $0.13 per common share, compared to a net loss of $24.7 million, or $2.95 per common share in the third quarter of 2010, and $9.0 million, or $1.07 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. For the full year 2010, Intermountain reported that following a $24.0 million provision for loan losses and two non-cash charges totaling $19.1 million, it recorded a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $33.5 million, or $3.99 per common share. In 2009, the net loss applicable to common shareholders was $23.6 million, or $2.82 per common share, which included $36.3 million in loan loss provision.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Highlights (at or for the period ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared to Dec. 31, 2009, or September 30, 2010)
- Nonperforming assets decreased $6.8 million to $15.9 million, or 1.59% of total assets, down from 2.30% at September 30, 2010 and 2.83% a year ago.
- The provision for loan losses dropped to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter, from $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $11.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
- Net interest margin improved to 3.97% from 3.85% in the third quarter and 3.20% in the fourth quarter, 2009.
- Intermountain reduced its average interest cost on deposits by 21 basis points from the prior quarter and 57 basis points from a year ago.
- Low-cost transaction deposits continued to increase as a percentage of total deposits, as the Company emphasized core, low-cost relationships and phased out higher cost funding instruments, such as brokered and collateralized certificates of deposits. Transaction deposits comprise 63.7% of total deposits, as compared to 62.0% a year ago.
- Total Risk Based Capital Ratio was 11.3% and Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 6.8%.
- Liquidity continues at historically high levels represented by cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, local deposit growth and borrowing line availability.
- Reserves for potential loan losses stood at $12.5 million, or 2.16% of total loans and 108.1% of non-performing loans ("NPLs") compared to 2.47% and 87.2%, a year ago.
- Loan delinquencies (30 days past due and over) decreased to 0.55% of total loans from 1.06% a year ago.
- The Company's deep commitment to community development and local economic growth was recognized in Idaho, as Intermountain received the Idaho Governor's Brightest Star Award in 2010.
"Although 2010 was another difficult year for the Pacific Northwest economy, the fourth quarter brought some indications of returning vitality. The Company's 2010 results reflect that encouraging upswing, with positive movement in operating results and margins, and stabilization in our loan portfolios," said Curt Hecker, Chief Executive Officer. "Losses have subsided in all markets, and credit risk in the remaining portfolio is substantially lower than a year ago."

Scolari suffers double blow
22 Sep 2008 - 17:55:18
Chelsea have been rocked by the news that Portuguese duo Ricardo Carvalho and Deco both face spells on the sidelines.
Deco, who missed Sunday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, has a tear in an upper thigh muscle and will be out for approximately two weeks.
Carvalho started the game against Sir Alex Ferguson's side but had to be substituted after only 11 minutes
The central defender had a scan on Monday that showed he had strained a medial collateral ligament in his knee which could keep him out of action for up to a month.
Meanwhile, Sunday's goalscoring hero, Salomon Kalou, insists he always thought the Blues would not lose against United.
The striker came off the substitute's bench to head Chelsea's late equaliser after Ji-Sung Park had fired United into a first-half lead.
Kalou told Chelsea's official website: "It was a good cross from John Obi Mikel and the defence was playing an offside line, but fortunately I wasn't offside, so it was a good point for us.
"It's my first goal against Manchester United, so I hope it is the start of a lot of goals and it has given me a lot of confidence. It is a good feeling to come off the bench and score because it is one of my important goals.
"I wasn't worried because I have seen Chelsea come out from difficult games and make the difference. They tried to play and it was difficult for us, but in the second half we came back well and it was difficult for them so they tried to play with a lot of contact.
"But when you play against Manchester United and they are winning 1-0, you have to make the difference in the last few minutes.
"If you watch the game, then it is not a bad result. They could have even won the game, so to come back into the game is a good result."

The homiletical value of this six point outline is worthy of consideration.

You may have been a vegetarian for a few months or your entire life. Or perhaps you are contemplating adopting a vegetarian diet.
What does that mean now that you are pregnant?
Vegetarian Pregnancy
People who do not understand what it means to be vegetarian are often concerned when a pregnant woman is vegetarian. These questions always seem to pop up: Doesn't your baby need meat!? What if you crave meat during pregnancy? How can you get all that you need in your diet without eating any meat??
As vegetarianism becomes more mainstream people are becoming more informed and even non-vegetarians are getting what is nutritionally required without the incorporation of meat in every meal. Many people are not only choosing vegetarianism for themselves, but raising vegetarian children.
Here are some tips and ideas for keeping you and your baby on a balanced vegetarian diet.
Getting What You and Baby Need
If you are an lacto-ovo vegetarian, meaning you consume eggs and dairy products, you will find that you are getting plenty of calcium and protein from these sources while pregnant. If you do not, there are many sources from beans and soy for protein to broccoli and fortified orange juice for your calcium and vitamin D. If you are new to being a vegetarian or leaning more toward vegan, which would rule out eggs and dairy products, there are many 'meat' supplements out there so you can make sure to get enough protein for you and your growing baby. Most are soy based, and often vegan, such as Morningstar Farms, Boca and Gardenburger.
Soy-free Meat Alternative
Quorn is a company that makes meat alternatives that are mushroom based instead of soy. Although due to using egg whites as a binding they are not vegan, they are a great vegetarian protein source you can use in many recipes you loved as an omnivore. They have a range of 'chicken' products as well as 'crumbles' which make a good substitute in recipes for ground beef. Quorn chik'n cutlets are a good source of protein with a fraction of the cholesterol, fewer calories and more fiber than skinless chicken breast making it a great choice for non-vegetarians too.
Understanding Meat Cravings
You may find you crave meat on occasion while pregnant, but that doesn't mean your baby is a meat eater. Cravings are your body's way of telling you it needs something. If you crave meat, the item at the top of your body's list is most likely iron. Try munching on some avocado maki rolls. They are a light, healthy snack for the mother to be. The nori is full of healthy vitamins & minerals, including B12, A, B6, C, E, B1, B2, copper, potassium, zinc and of course iron. The avocado is full of calcium and fats that are very good for you and your growing baby. You will find these can curb those meat cravings. If you can't find them at your local grocers there are simple and easy recipes online. The pickled ginger that often comes with maki rolls is also very good for morning sickness as ginger has been proven to lessen stomach contractions and ease nausea.
Choosing a Pre-natal Vitamin
Pre-natal vitamins are an important part of any pregnancy. But what if you don't want to take a vitamin with ingredients you can't pronounce, and would have trouble understanding with a dictionary in one hand and the bottle in the other?
Don't worry, vitamin makers have answered your cries of frustration. Rainbow Light brand vitamins makes a wonderful pre-natal multivitamin that is not only vegetarian, but vegan. No animals or byproducts and real ingredients, not lab created synthetics, so you can read the label with a good bit of clarity. In addition to all the vitamins and minerals from natural sources, in these vitamins you'll find things like red raspberry leaf and ginger to ease that morning sickness and to aid in digestion. You can find these and other all natural pre-natal vitamins at your nearest natural foods store.
Healthy Organic Choices
Organic is best for you and for baby, the less pesticides and additives the more good stuff for both of you. Remember to get lots of dark leafy greens and colorful fruits and veggies. These make for a healthy Mama and a healthy Mama means a healthy baby! If you are unsure of whether you are getting what you need from your diet while pregnant, don't be afraid to ask your doctor. A nutritionist can also help you make sure you have a healthy protein balance for you and baby!
Happy Veggie Pregnancy!

Man Points Gun at Students
POSTED: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 - 6:17pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 - 6:18pm
Three 3rd grade students at Tombaugh Elementary in Las Cruces say during recess, a man in a white car rolled down his window and pointed a rifle at them.
Those students ran and told administrators who locked down the school and call the sheriff's department.
Students were kept inside for the rest of the day but classes went on as normal. Sheriff's deputies patrolling the area didn't find the suspect. Administrators and parents are very concerned that someone would drive onto school property and point a gun at a bunch of kids.
"we have to treat, treat obviously everything is a potentially very serious situation until you know different," said district spokesperson Michael Cook. "This is a really good example."
"They're children and what they did was tell someone right away which is important," said Melissa Hernandez, the mother of two children who attend Tombaugh.
The Las Cruces Public School District does believe that this is the first lock down so far this school year, though they could not say for sure.

This is hypothetical...
what would you do if someone drew a knife but was a little ways from you...say 8'.
They kept walking towards you but with the knife down and kept saying reasuring phrases like...its ok, I dont want to hurt you, I just want your money. You are backing away while drawing your gun but the guy keeps coming. No threat of " i'm going to kill you", he just keeps advancing. Do you shoot him? He sees that you have a gun but advances anyways.
He has a knife but does not threaten with it other than showing it.
I am just wondering because I think I would have a hard time firing. I think I might try and run as fast as I can in the other direction. Just give up the wallet?
What about you?

This video is a collage of found and original footage. The found footage includes many shots from noirish films; mostly from moments when the characters have an expression of fear, distrust, or suspicion. Other footage includes astronauts on the moon and time-lapse images of clouds. The soundtrack is slow rock music which effectively evokes an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, blended with occasional lines of dialogue from the films. (Typically, Woman: "What are we going to do?" Man: "I don't know.")
The images in this video do not try to tell a story or convey an idea. Instead, they effectively evoke a sense of brooding paranoia. The repetition of images, such as a man who keeps approaching a door without ever arriving, or a plane which keeps approaching a runway without ever landing, are like images from a nightmare. Frequent interpolations of black frames, for fractions of a second, suggest a state of consciousness in which a person has repeated memory lapses.
O'Connell is highly effective here in taking stock images and reforming them into a primarily musical and mood-driven experience. This video encourages us to "feel" what we are looking at, and to "see" what we are listening to, which is a wonderful thing for a video to be able to do.
