Goodrich Announces 31 Percent Increase in Net Income per Diluted Share and 2 Percent Increase in Sales for Fourth Quarter 2008, Adjusts Outlook for 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. , Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
-- Fourth quarter 2008 income per diluted share of
-- Fourth quarter 2008 sales of
-- Total segment operating income margin increased to 16.3 percent, from 15.8 percent in the fourth quarter 2007.
-- Full year 2008 sales of
-- Full year 2008 income per diluted share from continuing operations of
-- Full year 2009 sales expectations reduced to
Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) announced results today for the fourth quarter and full year 2008 and lowered its outlook for 2009 sales and net income per diluted share, after incorporating updated expectations for 2009 pension expense and to take into account the uncertainty of the global economic environment.
Commenting on the company's performance and its outlook, Marshall Larsen , Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Clearly, we are operating in an extremely challenging macroeconomic environment. Goodrich has performed very well in this environment, and we expect to continue our strong performance relative to market trends during 2009. Even though global airline capacity is expected to contract slightly in 2009, we have excellent product positions on the newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes that are least likely to be removed from service. We believe that this positioning will allow us to continue to report 2009 commercial aftermarket sales performance above market trends. We continue to expect commercial airplane original equipment sales growth for Goodrich in 2009, compared to 2008, as Boeing and Airbus are expected to deliver more new airplanes in 2009 than they delivered in 2008. Additionally, we are developing products for the right planes of tomorrow, including significant products for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Airbus A350 XWB, the Bombardier CSeries and the Mitsubishi Regional Jet. These new programs are expected to generate significant new revenues for Goodrich for many years to come, and will help Goodrich sustain its position as an industry leader in its commercial aerospace markets. During 2009, we expect our diversified portfolio of defense and space products to continue to grow, especially in key product areas such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and our helicopter products."
"All of us at Goodrich are actively engaged in efforts to reduce our discretionary spending and control our headcount during these uncertain economic times. We are prepared to act swiftly as economic conditions change to minimize the impact of potential reductions in new aircraft production or further decreases in airline capacity. With our strong balance sheet, excellent cash flow and motivated workforce, we believe we can continue our track record of strong financial performance during 2009 and beyond," Larsen continued.
Fourth Quarter 2008 Results
Goodrich reported fourth quarter 2008 net income of
Net income in the fourth quarter 2008, compared with the fourth quarter 2007, was affected by the overall increase in sales and improved operational efficiencies in most business units. Three other factors affected fourth quarter net income, compared to the fourth quarter 2007, including:
-- The fourth quarter 2008 results included pre-tax income of
-- The company reported an effective tax rate of 23 percent for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with an effective tax rate of 33 percent during the fourth quarter 2007. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2008 included the full year 2008 benefit of the extension of the U.S. Research and Development tax credit, which became law in October 2008 . The company also benefited from lower than expected effective state tax rates and a low effective rate on the gain associated with the formation of the Rolls-Royce joint venture noted above.
-- The fourth quarter 2007 results included pre-tax income of
The increased overall sales for the quarter reflected continued growth in most of the company's major market channels. For the fourth quarter 2008 compared with the fourth quarter 2007, sales changes by market channel were as follows:
-- Large commercial airplane original equipment sales decreased by 11 percent. Sales to Airbus grew by about 9 percent, but sales to Boeing declined by about 40 percent primarily due to the machinists' strike which resulted in fewer deliveries of components for Boeing airplanes,
-- Regional, business and general aviation airplane original equipment sales increased by 15 percent,
-- Large commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket sales increased by 4 percent, and
-- Defense and space sales of both original equipment and aftermarket products and services increased by 7 percent.

-- Regional, business and general aviation airplane original equipment sales increased by 23 percent,
-- Large commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket sales increased by 9 percent, and

Goodrich will retain the aftermarket products and services business associated with the joint venture's products.
-- On December 9, 2008 , Goodrich was selected by Airbus to supply wheels and carbon brakes for all variants of the A350 XWB family of aircraft. The selection significantly increases Goodrich's content on the program.

The satellite, designated ORS Sat-1, is to be manufactured and integrated by Goodrich's ISR Systems team in Danbury, Connecticut . ORS is focused on the ability to quickly and affordably implement space capabilities that benefit the warfighter.
-- On October 2, 2008 , Goodrich officially opened a 350,000 sq. ft. campus in Mexicali, Mexico focusing primarily on metal treatment processing and fabrication. In December 2008 , Goodrich's Board of Directors approved a plan to develop a 165,000 sq. ft. campus in Tianjin, China to accommodate maintenance, repair and overhaul, original equipment support, enterprise supply chain and shared services activities for the region.
2009 Outlook
The company's 2009 sales outlook is based on market assumptions for each of its major market channels. The current market assumptions for the full year 2009, compared with the full year 2008 outlook, include:
-- Large commercial airplane original equipment sales are expected to increase by about 3 - 5 percent,
-- Regional, business and general aviation airplane original equipment sales are expected to decrease by approximately 10 percent,
-- Large commercial, regional, business and general aviation airplane aftermarket sales are expected to be approximately flat, with large commercial aftermarket sales up slightly while regional, business and general aviation aftermarket sales are expected to be somewhat lower, compared to 2008. This outlook assumes that worldwide available seat miles (ASMs) decrease by approximately 4 percent in 2009 compared to 2008, and
-- Defense and space sales of both original equipment and aftermarket products and services are expected to increase by about 5 percent.
The company's full year 2009 sales expectations are for sales of

For 2009, Goodrich expects net cash provided by operating activities,
minus capital expenditures, to exceed 75 percent of net income, including the
impact of announced delays in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380
airplane programs. This outlook reflects a continuation of investments to
support these programs, the Airbus A350 XWB and low-cost country manufacturing
and productivity initiatives that are expected to enhance margins over the
near and long term. The company now expects capital expenditures for 2009 to
be in a range of

The name has long been in regular use in North America but was uncommon in Britain until the 1990s. Well-known bearers of the name include the American singer and entertainer Joel Grey (b. 1932), the West Indian cricketer Joel Garner (b. 1952), and the American film director Joel Coen (b. 1954).

Wild Card competitors face off at Camden Yards
A's call on Straily to hold lead on O's, who counter with Norris
A pair of playoff contenders will square off on Friday night at Camden Yards, with the A's making the cross-country trek to Baltimore to begin a weekend series with the Orioles.
After dropping two of three at home to the Mariners, the A's begin a crucial 13-game stretch that also includes meetings with the Tigers, Rays and, most important, the Rangers, whom the club trails by 2 1/2 games for the division lead in the American League West.
But in Baltimore, Oakland will face one of the teams hot on its heels in the AL Wild Card race. The A's hold the second spot over the Indians and Orioles, who have lost seven of their last 11 to fall 5 1/2 games off the pace in the AL East.
The A's will call on Dan Straily, while the Orioles turn to Bud Norris for his fifth start in a Baltimore uniform since being acquired from Houston in a non-waiver Trade Deadline deal.
Winless since July 9, Straily has been hampered by a lack of run support, receiving a combined three runs over his past six outings. He struggled out of the gate in his most recent start, walking two and giving up two runs in the first inning, but he eventually settled down and surrendered just one more run through 5 2/3 innings.
"It wasn't exactly like I was keeping the ball down," Straily said after the loss. "I felt like I had good stuff tonight. I just wasn't sure all the time where it was going. It looked a lot better, I feel like, than it probably was."
As for Norris, he won his previous start, against the Rockies, working 5 2/3 innings and giving up four runs, but the 28-year-old has been bothered recently by a stiff back.
"I started to feel it a little bit," Norris said, "so I'm just going to take care of it, and it's not going to hamper me too much. I've got an extra day this week, which will be big. But you are going to have nagging stuff this time of year, and you're going to have to fight through it."
A's: Smith sidelined with eye issue
Seth Smith was unavailable for a second straight game on Wednesday because of astigmatism. He wasn't even at O.co Coliseum since he was seeing doctors, but he was expected to board the charter flight to Baltimore on Thursday.
"I'm not sure how long it's been bothering him," manager Bob Melvin said. "Hopefully, we have him Friday in Baltimore."
Smith, who typically starts only against right-handers as the designated hitter, hasn't been in the lineup since Saturday. He's batting .241 with six home runs and 33 RBIs on the season.
Orioles: Club gets surprise visit
Despite their recent rough stretch, the Orioles have managed to keep the mood light in the clubhouse as they try to get back into the postseason race, and Wednesday afternoon was no exception.
Several members of the Maryland Table Tennis Center club were in the clubhouse hours before the series finale against the Rays, with the Orioles pitted against some of the best young players in the world.
"Nobody in here [was] able to get their serve back," manager Buck Showalter said after taking in some of the games, which caused a lot of laughter and good-natured ribbing as the table-tennis players easily bested the professional athletes.
Worth noting
• The A's are 45-20 when scoring first this season, but one of those losses came on Wednesday, against Seattle.
• Chris Davis needs just four doubles to become the 12th Major Leaguer to record at least 40 doubles and 40 homers in the same season.

The Case Against the Global Economy |
A great political debate has emerged over the many unexpected and profound consequences of the rush toward the global economy. The world's political and corporate leaders are restructuring the planet's economy and political arrangements in ways that will affect humans and the environment more than anything since the Industrial Revolution. Global institutions such as GATT, the World Trade Organization, NAFTA, and the World Bank, created with scant public debate or scrutiny, have moved real power away from citizens and nation states to global bureaucracies, with grave results.
The Case Against the Global Economy is the first comprehensive point-by-point analysis of the global economy, its premises, and its social and environmental implications. The work gathers forty-three leading economic, agricultural, and environmental experts who charge that free trade and economic globalization are producing exactly the opposite results from what has been promised.
Contributors include William Greider, Jeremy Rifkin, Ralph Nader, Vandana Shiva, David Korten, Wendell Berry, Kirkpatrick Sale, Herman E. Daly, Richard Barnet, Helena Norberg-Hodge, and more than thirty other analysts of the global economy.
Jerry Mander is the author of Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television and In the Absence of the Sacred.

Johan challenges Buehrle in hot NL East duel
The Mets take a five-game winning streak into the match after starting off their six-game road stand by sweeping the Phillies, capped off with a 10-6 win Wednesday.
Miami, meanwhile, went a franchise-best 8-1 on a three-city road trip and took two of three from the Astros after sweeping the Giants and Padres.
A battle of two left-handers will kick off the first of a three-game set, as Mets ace Johan Santana will take on Mark Buehrle.
Buehrle is confident his Marlins will have a better showing against the Mets than the first time the two teams met, when Miami was swept at Citi Field back in April.
"It starts with starting pitching," said Buehrle, who's coming off a complete-game victory that improved his record to 2-4. "We've got to come out and throw zeroes to give the offense a chance to get going. When we were playing them [before], we weren't playing well. Hopefully things will turn."
Santana is coming off a strong outing himself, and earned his first win of the season after pitching a season-high seven innings in a 4-3 victory over the D-backs. The southpaw has been impressive in his return to the mound after missing all of 2011, as his ERA stands at 2.61 while he's averaging 9.87 strikeouts per nine innings, the fourth best mark in the National League.
"That's what aces do," Mets manager Terry Collins said following Santana's last start, which snapped New York's four-game losing skid and was his first victory since September 2010. "They stop streaks. They stop losing streaks. They take it upon themselves to do that. They know when times are tough, they've got to raise their games up. He's that guy."
In 10 career starts against the Marlins, Santana is 6-1 with a sparkling 1.46 ERA. It's his best winning percentage against any team he has faced at least 10 times.
Mets: Wright rolling
All-Star David Wright has been leading the charge offensively for the Mets and has been among the hottest hitters in the game since the start of the season.
Wright is fourth in the NL with a .376 average and 1.030 OPS -- both of which are the top marks among all Major League third basemen -- and has tallied a hit in all but four games this year.
He has also reached base safely in 26 of his 28 games after collecting a pair of hits in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia.
Friday's contest will mark the Mets' 8,000th game in team history.
The Mets and the Padres are the only teams that have failed to throw a no-hitter.
Marlins: Stanton picking up the slack offensively
Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is back on track after snapping a career-long home run drought of 97 at-bats on April 29.
Over his last 11 games, Stanton has six homers and has driven in 12 runs, collecting at least one base hit in 10 of them.
"You can't practice this game in game speed," Stanton said. "So no matter how good you feel in practice, it doesn't always click right away in the game. You've just got to realize that."
All-Stars Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez have been struggling, both batting under .235, making Stanton's production even more important to Miami.
Emilio Bonifacio was dropped from second to seventh in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Astros. The center fielder entered the game hitting .179 (7-for-39) over his last 10 but Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen doesn't see the switch lasting long.
"Move him down and let him relax a little bit, that pressure to be on base and do stuff for the team," Guillen said. "Hopefully that will work for a couple of days and then go back to where he belongs. I think we have a better team with Boni at the top of the lineup."
Bonifacio responded by going 2-for-6, scoring a run and collecting his first extra-base hit of the season with a sixth-inning double.
Worth noting
The Mets are five games over .500 for the first time since July 19, 2010, and have won five in a row for the first time since July 25-29, 2011.
Miami has dropped five straight to New York and has only two wins over the last 11 meetings between the two clubs.

Testing for DB Listener (OWASP-CM-002)
OWASP Testing Guide v2 Table of Contents
Brief Summary
The Data base listener is a network daemon unique to Oracle databases. It waits for connection requests from remote clients. This daemon can be compromised and hence affect the availability of the database.
Description of the Issue
The DB listener is the entry point for remote connections to an Oracle database. It listens for connection requests and handles them accordingly. This test is possible, if the tester can access to this service: that means the test will be done from the Intranet (in normal Oracle installation this service is not exposed to the external network...we hope so!)
The listener by default listens on port 1521, it is good practice to change the listener from this port to another arbitary port number.
If this listener is "turned off" remote acess to the database is not possible. If this is the case ones application would fail also creating a denial of service attack.
Potential areas of attack:
- Stop the Listener - Hence creating a DoS attack.
- Set a password and prevent others from controlling the Listener - Hijack the DB.
- Write trace and log files to any file accessible to the process owner of tnslnsr (usually Oracle) - Possible information leakage.
- Obtain detailed information on the Listener, database, and application configuration.
Black Box testing and example
Upon discovering the port on which the listener resides one can assess the listener by running a tool developed by Integrigy:
The tool above checks the following:
Listener Password
On many Oracle systems the listener password may not be set. The tool above verifies this.
If the password is not set an attacker could set the password and hijack the listener, albeit the password can be removed by locally editing the Listener.ora file.
Enable Logging
The tool above also tests to see if logging has been enabled. If it has not one would not detect any change to the listener/or have a record of it and also detection of brute force attacks on the listener would not be audited.
Admin Restrictions
If Admin restrictions are not enabled it is possible to use the "SET" commands remotley.
If you find a TCP/1521 open port on a server, maybe you have an Oracle Listener that accept connections from the outside. If the listener is not protected by an authentication mechanism, or you can find easily a credential (as said above), it is possible to exploit this vulnerability to enumerate the Oracle services. For example, using LSNRCTL(.exe) (contained in every Client Oracle installation), you can obtain the following output:
TNSLSNR for 32-bit Windows: Version 18.104.22.168.0 - Production TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 188.8.131.52.0 - Production Oracle Bequeath NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version 126.96.36.199.0 - Production Windows NT Named Pipes NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version 126.96.36.199.0 - Production Windows NT TCP/IP NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version 18.104.22.168.0 - Production,, SID(s): SERVICE_NAME = CONFDATA SID(s): INSTANCE_NAME = CONFDATA SID(s): SERVICE_NAME = CONFDATAPDB SID(s): INSTANCE_NAME = CONFDATA SID(s): SERVICE_NAME = CONFORGANIZ SID(s): INSTANCE_NAME = CONFORGANIZ
The Oracle Listener permits to enumerate default users on Oracle Server:
Username Password OUTLN OUTLN DBSNMP DBSNMP BACKUP BACKUP MONITOR MONITOR PDB CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
In this case, we have not founded privileged DBA accounts, but OUTLN and BACKUP accounts hold a foundamental privilege: EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE. That means that it is possible to execute every procedures, for exemple the following:
exec dbms_repcat_admin.grant_admin_any_schema('BACKUP');
The execution of this command permit to obtain DBA privileges. Now the user can interact directly with the DB and execute for example:
select * from session_privs ;
The output is the following screenshot:
So the user can now execute a lot of operations, in particular: DELETE ANY TABLE DROP ANY TABLE.

Arizona Cardinals
Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner weighs in on Keim, head coaching search
The Arizona Cardinals hired their new general manager on Tuesday, promoting vice president of player personnel Steve Keim.
Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Tuesday he expected to see Keim take over the GM reins.
"I wasn't surprised at all," Warner said. "I know they did their due diligence and reached out and looked some other places but [Keim]'s done a great job for them. I know everybody there really likes what he's done."
Keim has been with the Cardinals since 1999 in a variety of roles including scout, director of college scouting and director of player personnel.
Warner felt team brass had "high regard for what he's done and what he's brought to the organization" and feel confident he will thrive in his new role.
"I think they knew and just kind of had that holding there and were going to check other people out but always knew he was going to be a viable guy for that position because of what he's done," Warner said.
While the Cardinals now have their new general manager, they still remain without a head coach. The team has interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and have a meeting scheduled with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden on Thursday.
Warner was mum on who he thinks should win the job but did say it's hard to tell which coaches will be successful in the NFL.
"There's a lot of guys out there whether it's college ranks or in the pros that probably could be great head coaches," Warner explained. "I don't think you ever really know that until they are in the position so I can only speak to guys that I know personally that have been head coaches and how they've handled those situations more so than somebody you're taking a shot on."

Brussels, production rehearsals
Get ready for the band arrival. Always a big day when the band come in to see a new production for the first time. I was feeling pretty confident about most of the production, but made a point of going a little earlier all the same. Or at least I tried to, but due to some misunderstanding the runner van due to pick me up had been canceled. The temptation to go back to bed was overwhelming but before we had a chance to change our minds Sam put us in a taxi.
Even though it usually results in my having a lot to do, there is something fantastic about hearing a bands response when faced with the physical reality of a new stage production for the first time. There are industry legends about some productions (most notably the Rolling Stones) where two days before the first show they arrive and everything has to be rebuilt from scratch. Despite this being a monumental pain in the arse, I can sympathise and in a weird way admire this quality. From my point of view, I can feel some of the same pressure to just go with it. Imagine youre the pop star walking into a stadium, knowing all of the following facts; a small group of people have spent up to a year conceiving and designing what now lies before you; hundreds of other people have spent months building and transporting it and perhaps a few weeks solid graft has gone into constructing it; to make changes will be painful, time consuming and expensive; and you have got to do a show in just two days time. When faced with all of the above, the pressure to go with the prevailing wind is so overwhelming that theres a part of me which respects the ability of the popstar to face all of this and say I dont like it, if this is the case.
Fortunately today for the most part we got a very major thumbs up from the band, though the P.A. fascia was the first casualty (so, about the urinals up there) but the major issue was indeed the unwieldy size of the b-stage ramps. (It looks like a Scalextric set left out in the sun). Commendably there was no panic, just an afternoon-long council of war to figure out what to do. The team of tour carpenters and scaffolders was on hand to undertake the reconstruction and initially we tried two different redesigns simultaneously, one for each ramp.
We did attempt a run through of sorts, but there was an early curfew this evening as a compromise to us being allowed a later one tomorrow. Consequently it was light for much of the time, but we still got a lot done and it was certainly useful to hear a set list played outdoors. We met for a little while afterwards and made a definitive plan before the band headed back to the hotel leaving us to another late night programming session.
Just as they were leaving Paul McGuinness asked me how morale was in the camp and I said it was very good, which it is. Do you have caterers staying on for the night shift? Paul asked, and I laughed out loud thinking of our frozen huddles in the oxygen tent. In the film industry, Paul went on to say You cant expect to get more than an hour and a halfs work out of a crew without plying them with bacon sandwiches
Everyone left us to it, but much to my surprise an hour or two later the runners van pulls up and out get two of our caterers, drafted in by Paul... and they produced said bacon sandwiches within the hour, and a pot of soup and even a heater! Were living now.
We had a really good night programming, again the five of us at the mix position. Bruce on lighting, Smasher programming the camera and screen configurations, Luke editing and re-editing video sequences and Ash writing code to make all the control software do what we need it to do. The heater was on, the caterers bringing us regular offerings plus tea, coffee & Belgian beer in good supply.
The process of programming this show is unlike any other Ive done. Traditionally when programming a show like this, the designer sits with the programmers and starts from the top of the show. You listen to the song, go through it step by step, look by look, then programme each scene, each effect, each chase, with everyone working together. When all the information is punched into the consoles and computers youll playback the song a couple of times whilst running the cues till youre happy with it, then move on to the next song in the set. It takes forever.
The process with this show is much looser. In fact, much of the time the five of us are working on entirely different parts of the show, but knowing how all the pieces will fit together (at least I do). Given how ludicrously short of time we are, this has been much more productive and frankly far more creative than the normal method. In their own way, everyone has been able to be much more involved and have more input but I have never felt any loss of overall control. Also, we are programming video and lighting at the same time as parts of a greater whole, which is unprecedented in rock shows. Or any shows for that matter. Then there are thing like the LEDs built into the staging which are hard to categorise as being either video or lighting, as they are clearly both at the same time. Or neither.
By 4AM the energy level was beginning to take a nose dive, as its been a hell of a long week so far. No-one had spoken for about an hour and we were all beavering away in a bit of a daze so I was concerned things might grind to a halt all together. Fishing through the iPod I hit upon Boogie Nights by Earth Wind & Fire so pressed play and turned it up to eleven. Youve never seen five grown men undergo such a spectacular instant mood change, especially on the choruses with us all singing got to keep on programming, keep on programming. Complete mania descended for a while, Bruce digging out a flashy bit of L.E.D. bling-wear which Smasher found in NYC. Lads, Bruce announced on the walkie-talkie for the benefit of the crew backstage, Alls well. I have donned the Programming Amulet. Hysteria was upon us and we laughed till we practically brought up the bacon sandwiches.
Light began to appear in the sky, so we knew wed soon be out of time, but you know, some of this stuff were doing looks killer, so I guess well pull it together for Friday.

I thought this anti-glair sreen will avoid the glare and give you the same quality of the clarity. I could not see sometime what is display on the screen with this anit-glare.
This product is terrific and I highly recommend it. I will definitely buy again if need be.
The screen protector fits perfectly, was easy to put on, and has been protecting my phone for several months now. Way less expensive than in the store.
Non glare is the way to go. This has been on my phone for two months now and i have no loose edges. It was easy to apply ( and I am horrible at putting these things on). I had two bubbles showing and they smoothed out easily. If you take your time, and start with a clean phone you will have no issues. If you hate having fingrprints all over your iPhone screen, get these!
The anti glare screen is much better than the plain screen protector. As advertised, it does a great job reducing glare to almost nothing. It does reduce the intensity of the screen, but increasing the brightness brings it back. It bonds extremely well and fits my IPhone 5 like a glove
Nothing special, its a screen protector
This goes on really easily, and is very easy to line up and the fit is great. I gave it 4 stars though because other reviews said the bubbles were easy to remove, and they weren't. however, I would not recommend lifting the piece more than once to try to remove the bubbles. if you take the time to place it right the first time, then just lift once and press down from top to bottom, it will give you a good seal and get rid of most of the air. For the price, this is a very good product.
Great value, great product, necessary to protect your investment.
Very good product.. Fit perfectly.. Would purchase again..
Cuts the glare down really well. I highly recommend this product.

Clarification of State Route 32 closure, Highway is open Friday - Sunday
According to the Redding office of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) there is currently some misinformation about the current State Route 32 closure.
Public Information Officer Trisha Coder at Caltrans states, "The Caltrans website at http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/display.php?page=sr32 incorrectly reports that Route 32 is closed 24 HRS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK."
In reality, SR 32 will be closed weekly Monday-Thursday beginning at 6 a.m. and will reopen on Fridays at 6 a.m. through Sunday continuing through September. Drivers can expect one-way traffic control with up to 15 minute delays Friday-Sunday.
Original News Release
REDDING – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 2 along with contractor Dig It Construction, Inc. from Chester, CA will be closing portions of State Route 32 in Tehama County to make highway safety improvements in the area.
Work on the $2.9 million Deer Creek Realignment Project is scheduled to begin on July 15, 2013, 2.5 miles west of the junction of State Routes 32 and 36 near the Elam Campground. One way traffic control will be in effect Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for two weeks.
FULL CLOSURE of SR 32 is expected to begin July 29, 2013 and continue through September. The entire project is expected to be completed by November 2013, weather permitting.
During the full closure, SR 32 will be closed weekly Monday-Thursday beginning at 6 a.m. and will reopen on Fridays at 6 a.m. through Sunday. Drivers can expect one-way traffic control with up to 15 minute delays Friday-Sunday.
Detours will be available via SR 36 to SR 99 or SR 89 to SR 70 and down the Feather River Canyon.
Crews will improve the horizontal curves on SR 32 by constructing 12 foot lanes and 4 foot shoulders in addition to installing guard railing along the road.
Caltrans has set up a hotline (530) 225-3452. It can be accessed 24 hours a day and will provide updates about current projects, including the Deer Creek Realignment Project. You can also find more information by visiting www.caltrans2.info.
Caltrans would also like to remind the traveling public to please move over if safe or slow down when they see Caltrans vehicles flashing warning lights along the side of the highways, and to Slow for the Cone Zone.

Amid Irene, Vt. wardens moved boss's houseplants
FILE - In this Dec. 6, 2010 file photo, Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz smiles during a news conference in Montpelier, Vt. Two senior officials in Vermontís Agency of Natural Resources are being criticized for having state game wardens and a vehicle rescue houseplants belonging to agency Secretary Deb Markowitz during the remnants of Hurricane Irene. Former employees say workers were dismayed in August 2011 that state resources were being devoted to a personal errand when Vermonters were still stranded, bodies were missing and the agencyís Waterbury office complex was flooded. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, File)MONTPELIER Two days after Hurricane Irenes remnants devastated much of Vermont, with bodies still missing and residents stranded in their homes, two Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department game wardens were given a special assignment: to rescue houseplants belonging to Secretary of Natural Resources Deb Markowitz.
Accounts of the 2011 mission varied. Markowitz and officials still employed by her agency said it was a matter of helping out amid the chaos, that state employees who showed up at the flooded state office complex in Waterbury were grabbing whatever and helping whomever in a hectic salvage operation.
Three former employees of the agency painted a different picture: of workers looking on in dismay as uniformed game wardens entered offices from which most civilian employees were or would soon be barred, carried out Markowitzs plants, loaded them into a state truck and delivered them to the secretarys home, 14 miles away in Montpelier.
One current employee, Maj. Dennis Reinhardt, second in command among the states game wardens, said, I understand why it doesnt look good.
Up for debate is whether the incident was one of simple kindness among colleagues though the public paid for the wardens staff time and travel costs or two senior public officials Markowitz and Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry using their positions for personal benefit in a time of crisis: for her, saving the plants she loved; for him, currying favor with the boss.
If the latter interpretation is applied, the incident could be seen as violating rules laid out on a Department of Human Resources Web page, prohibiting state workers from using their positions to obtain special privileges and using state personnel, property or equipment for private use.
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo fired Emergency Management Director Steven Kuhr after learning that Kuhr called a Suffolk County crew to remove a fallen tree from his driveway after Superstorm Sandy.
Markowitz said in an interview that the wardens hadnt yet been called out by the state police, so they likely wouldnt have been deployed to search the Mendon Brook for 24-year-old Michael G. Garofano, whose body would be found three weeks later, or the White River, where corpses washed away from a Rochester cemetery were still floating downstream.
But the Agency of Natural Resources had plenty on its own plate: caring for a washed-out fish hatchery in Roxbury; preserving records from its own offices; salvaging what game wardens firearms and uniforms could be saved from a flooded basement armory at the Waterbury complex.
Tom Decker, a former Fish & Wildlife chief of operations who recently left state government for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said of the plant-moving mission: It was not our finest hour because, frankly, there was a lot of other stuff that needed to get done.
Half a dozen plants were involved, including two small trees, one of which was a dracaena majoris from Markowitzs childhood, Decker said.
One question is whether Markowitz asked to have her plants moved or hinted broadly enough that that would be a good idea that Berry got the message to order the wardens to do the work.
I never asked anyone to move my plants, lets just make that really clear, she said at the beginning of an interview 20 months after Irene. Later, she said she had spoken with Berry about them. She told him that one of the things that made me sad about this was, you know, I didnt have a minute to think about some of my plants, which Ive had since Ive been a kid, that were in that building, that would die, as a result of being stuck there and us being kept out of the building. ... You know, my mom died when I was a kid and one of the trees was hers.
Berrys account shifted somewhat in the course of an interview and a series of emails to The Associated Press over several days. In an April 18 interview, he said he didnt recall Markowitz making the request. By April 23, he was more definitive: As I stated earlier, the Secretary had no knowledge that the plants were moved until after the fact, he wrote.
Decker kept a daily log of his and some of his colleagues activities. He couldnt provide an exact date for this entry but said it came in the early days after the Aug. 28, 2011, storm: ANR Sec. had Comm. Berry have game wardens move house plants out of her office.
Berry said the decision was his. This was my decision and my responsibility, he told the AP.
Asserting that no special privilege was afforded the agency secretary, Berry said that on the day the plants were moved, other employees were free to come and go at the complex to retrieve personal belongings. It was not until later that employees werent allowed to enter the buildings out of fear for their health, he said.
Berrys account of when the do-not-enter order was made didnt appear to square with Markowitzs reference to us being kept out of the building in her comments to Berry about the plants before they were moved.
Berry told Decker after the plants were moved that another senior employee had congratulated him, saying, `Those were good points for you. That was a good piece of business for you. The commissioner (Berry) was feeling good about it, Decker said.
Markowitz said she was surprised and tremendously grateful when the plants arrived at her house. When I called him (Berry) to thank him, he said, I wanted to make your day, and he did.MORE IN Vermont NewsThree professors in the University of Vermont Extension program are losing their positions next...

Even visiting a site with adblock helps becuase then the site can say "I get xxx unique visitors a month."
Even visiting a site with adblock helps becuase then the site can say "I get xxx unique visitors a month."
i found out that flash kills any webM-Html5 speed on youtube in full screen.
because if you use flash in full screen it turn of the ads to render but if you use html5 in full screen the flash ads on other tabs are renderet at full speed.
because of this i can not use html5+webM or i need to install adblock or flashblock.
Here is the link to the adblock plus explanation page: https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads
If you are thinking of posting in this thread, please read this page first in order to stay informed and on-topic.
Well, no reason to complain, as we can all disable the new feature if we don't like it.
I most certainly will be disabling it.
While i can appreciate adblock's effort in trying to improve the web's annoying advertising situation (if that is in fact, what they are trying to do - kinda sounds like BS to me. - ie: coaxing better advertising habits out of companies/entities, that will be able to advertise through adblock, if they meet the guidelines ... But, in the end -> i don't care. I don't want any advertisements on my screen, so i've disabled it all, which is valid too.
That being said, i think this is a good move for adblock - some people will value this feature, and make good use of it - in turn someone will profit from it down the line. Good for them. For those of us, who don't buy into it (pay into it?), at least AdBlock can still be called Adblock - because obviously, if you couldn't disable this feature, they would have to change the name to 'AdFilter' because it no longer blocks Ad's, only filtered out the ones that don't meet 'Adblock standards'.
my 2cents
EDIT: and to whomever, posted about disabling ad's as being an 'issue of morality' (disabling ad's is immoral?). That is retarded. it has absolutely nothing to do with morality.
If we don't want to help some individual/company/entity make money off of advertising, then we don't have to. If their only way to make money is advertising, then maybe they should reconsider their current business model, and certainly they shouldn't expect that i will inconvenience myself, so that they can pocket some money.
Interesting thread, my main take on the subject is that Adblock plus allowing "acceptable" ads is totally fine, if you don't like it, fork it and stop being childish:
With regards to the Microsoft ads on Phoronix, an analogy that comes to mind would be if you died and went to heaven, when you get there God is walking around putting up flashy signs about how awesome it is down in hell. While sitting on your cloud and reading the bible or whatever, these signs for hell keep flashing into view and distracting you. You start taking these signs down but God and some other angels tell you that it is immoral. That's how stupid this situation is to me and it's one reason that my visits to Phoronix are an absolute last resort on a dry news day, as opposed to it being the first port of call it was when i first discovered the site.
Having a Linux focused site with heavy Microsoft advertising is sending all the wrong messages and the site owner could do himself a favour (increase traffic) by, at the very, least choosing more relevant ads.
Meh... I use Adblock to get rid of the "bling bling BLING BLING IN YOOOOOOOOOOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAACE click now!" ads.
If any of the ads deemed acceptable fall too often in that category for my taste, I'll use the appropriate checkbox, as mentioned on the page that popped up after Firefox updated the add-on.
Beside the post-installation reminder, they made the change public before hand. So I don't feel betrayed in any way.
"Problem" solved.
Too much time spent needlessly complaining, that could be poured into much more constructive activities instead, seriously...
That used to bother me too, now I find it funny. They extort Android handset manufacturers, the least they could do is pay for Linux website hosting.
Now if you mean that they produce too much PR noise so as to undermine smaller FOSS players' ability to advertise their wares, then yes, ad space allocation should be reviewed.
Right now I'm using the Chrome dev channel with a bunch of override flags and Chrome Adblock (unrelated to Adblock Plus which will eventually port this nonsense to their Chrome version).
The reason for my moving over to Chrome and Chrome Adblock is because there's finally (recent Chrome with override switches) a way to get Chrome Adblock to kill off every ad, every bad element, and every pop under or pop up.
I'm just so pissed off by the way Firefox is going that this Adblock Plus nonsense from Wladimir Palant has been the last straw and has completely pushed me over the edge.
Here's a new one for Michael.
If I want to print something from your site, and don't want to waste my printer ink on your skyscraper ads (because printer ink is very expensive), and I only flipped on Adblock to not waste ink, am I "stealing"?
Don't you in fact harm your users that want to use the print function if you lock out anyone who blocks ads, even if they only do it to not waste a lot of very very expensive ink? ;)
I had read somewhere that the printer ink is actually one of the most expensive fluids ever sold, so this is actually a very good point. :)

Sustainable Industry Low Carbon scheme (SILC) I - Short-term innovation measures - Action 38/G/ENT/CIP/12/D/N02S00 Publicerat den: 08/03/2012, Senaste uppdatering: 12/03/2013
- Tidsfrist:
- 25/06/2012.
- Nummer::
The objective of the call is to provide support to actions that will focus on manufacturing and process industries covered by the ETS so as to enable these to cope with the challenges of a low carbon economy and to maintain their competitiveness, with a particular view to tackling the stringent requirements resulting from the ETS-Directive by 2020.
The SILC (Sustainable Industry Low Carbon) initiative aims to help sectors to achieve specific GHG emission intensity reductions in order to maintain their competitiveness. The SILC scheme is intended as a practical, industry-based initiative at EU level which identifies, develops and deploys both technological and non-technological innovation measures. It is foreseen that the EU will co-finance up to 75% of the costs of the industry-led projects respectively.
The SILC initiative is implemented in two steps, SILC I (2011-2013) and SILC II (2014-2020). This call concerns only SILC I which aims at finding technological and non-technological innovation measures to reduce the carbon-intensity for a wider range of sectors which can be implemented in the short term (i.e. immediate to 3 year horizon) and which do not require a further demonstration programme before their industrial implementation.
The call seeks for sector-specific or inter-sector industrial projects, each of them carried out by a consortium of industrial stakeholders (and/or possibly in partnership with public or private organisations) and jointly financed by the EU and the industrial stakeholders. It is envisaged that in these projects technological and/or non-technological innovation measures will be developed and deployed that are needed to achieve reductions in the specific GHG emission intensity, while maintaining the sector's competitive position and jobs.
2 May 2012 : The "call for proposals" document is now also available in French and German language.
30 March 2012 : Extension of the 'Geographical eligibility' criteria: Any country participating in the EIP (Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme) is now eligible for receiving co-financing under SILC! Please refer to section 5.1 of the updated document 'Call for proposals' for more details
Please note that additional information could be posted on this webpage during the publication stage of this call for proposals - we encourage you to visit the page regularly.

The disparities in the "SmallPT GPU" test are interesting. Perhaps the OpenCL-GPU compilers for the tested operating systems differ in their abilities to optimize and the Linux one is generating less efficient GPU code? Maybe context switches or data transfer between the GPU and CPU on Linux are more expensive/hindered?
I'd think both operating systems would generate the same GPU binaries given the compiler is provided by NVIDIA?
My experience is CUDA though.

Locke faces test vs. Gee, Mets in Big Apple
Pirates look to improve on 3-12 all-time record at Citi Field
The Pirates hope Jeff Locke brings his command to the Big Apple. Otherwise, the Mets may take a bite out of the southpaw.
After two scoreless, victorious outings ran his record to 3-1 and lowered his ERA to 2.83, Locke lasted only five innings and threw 74 pitches his last time out as he struggled some with his control. Locke walked three and allowed four runs (three earned) before manager Clint Hurdle turned to his bullpen.
"I thought he was in and out of rhythm a little bit," Hurdle said. "I thought we had the best shot of getting out of [the sixth] inning with a lead by bringing in [a reliever]."
Locke had two starts earlier in the year in which he issued four free passes. He didn't last past the fifth frame in either outing.
Walks haven't been the problem for New York's Dillon Gee, who will oppose Locke in the series opener at Citi Field on Thursday. Instead, hits have been Gee's kryptonite, as the right-hander has surrendered 39 of them in 30 2/3 innings.
Even in his last outing, in which he earned his second win of the season, Gee yielded four runs on nine knocks in five innings.
"I wasn't really pleased with anything I did today," Gee said after the game. "I actually almost feel bad for getting a win."
Pirates: Welker promoted to bigs
• Pittsburgh recalled right-hander Duke Welker from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday and optioned infielder Josh Harrison. Welker didn't allow an earned run in 16 innings with the Indians. He yielded only three hits and tallied 20 strikeouts. "I just know I'm here and have a good opportunity with a great team and a good group of guys," Welker said. "I'm just excited to be here. I don't know when it'll hit me."
• A.J. Burnett will avoid pitching in New York, since he started Wednesday's contest. Burnett didn't pitch in last September's four-game set at Citi Field, either.
Mets: Harvey continues to dazzle
• The Pirates will collide with Matt Harvey in Sunday's series finale. The right-handed phenom is 4-0 with a 1.28 ERA in seven outings this season after his latest showing, in which he held the White Sox to a measly infield single in nine shutout innings, while striking out 12. In 49 1/3 innings this season, Harvey has surrendered only 22 hits.
"It seems like every time we talk about this guy, it's something new," said manager Terry Collins. "Like I said before the game, one of the things about Matt is his delivery is so quiet and smooth. There's not a lot of hiccups in it, so for him to have an extra day may not matter.
"But to pound the strike zone like he did [Tuesday]? You just don't see young guys do that. You really don't. Not with a power arm like that."
Worth noting
• The Pirates and Mets have yet to clash this season. New York claimed five of the teams' seven meetings last season, outscoring Pittsburgh, 34-25.
• Pittsburgh's Jose Tabata has pounded out four hits in 10 at-bats against Gee. Andrew McCutchen, meanwhile, has mustered just one single in nine at-bats against the Mets right-hander.
• The Pirates are 3-12 all time at Citi Field.

County's oldest mill wheels headed back to park
Turbines and a grinding wheel used in Minnehaha County's first flourmill are being stored in the old fire station on north Garfield Avenue. With the City of Dell Rapids readying to sell the building, officials are moving ahead with plans to permanently place the artifacts in the City Park.The Dell Rapids City Council gave the go ahead to lay cement slabs near the intersection of Washington Avenue and 3rd Street in the park, on which the century-old turbines and grinding wheel will be mounted.City administrator Justin Weiland said a historical marker will commemorate the project and provide visitors with information about the history of the mill equipment.Local historian Teri Fiegen said the project is a worthy expense – though the cost of doing it is not yet known – because of the historical value of the antiques and the story they tell about Dell Rapids' past.The mill, which was located near the dam in western Dell Rapids, was built in 1872 by Frank Rice before being sold to William VanEps in 1877. The mill was torn down in 1904. Fiegen said the antiques need to have a final resting place. Continuing to move them from one location to another, she said, will further deteriorate their condition."I'm concerned with how many times we're going to move those mill wheels," she told the council before they signed off on the project.The mill wheels had sat in the City Park near the Big Sioux River since they were taken out of the water decades ago, but were moved to the old fire station in the summer of 2012 in preparation for utility work performed this year.Fiegen said they suffered damage during the move, and she expects them to suffer a similar fate when moved again.Weiland said he expects the project to be complete this fall.

CANADIANBACON: Good afternoon Mark. I did go to SUMERIS pizza parlor yesterday at mid-afternoon to have a pizza for my dinner. I met Sumeri & he is a fine young gentleman. He made a large thin-crust pizza Margerita (SP), about 10/11 inches in diameter & about.090 thick with roasted red peppers as well. Hand tossed & baked in a wood fire-place. The parlor is extremely clean & the pizza was excellent. I then thanked Sumerei for the delicious pizza & service & left. If you are in Las Vegas for a visit I would go & enjoy meeting him & enjoy one of his pizza delights. Good luck & have a nice day Mark. ~DINKS.

A brilliant and engaging logo based on the letter 'M'. I love the varied and vibrant use of colour, and the overlapping effect. It could work perfectly for any company whose initials were 'M' and 'X'.
Posted in Branding → LogoA simple but effective logo for a yearly church art show. I like the good use of white text on black, while the stamp concept is great. The deteriorated feel and simple icons work well in harmony.
Posted in Branding → LogoThis logo design is made by the typeface and textured effect. I really like the interesting choice of colours and fire design. The shaping of the letters could work even better if they formed an overall design.
Posted in Branding → LogoA brilliant portfolio site for a print and motion graphics designer. I really like the introductory quip and laid back illustrative style. His personal logo also makes a great impact.
Posted in Web Design → PortfolioA striking interface for a hotel site that uses bold colours to make an impact. I like the clear site navigation and intricate detailing. The central logo really grabs your attention, the colour scheme is engaging.
Posted in Interface → Web AppA simple but effective logo that makes great use of texture and colour. I like how memorable this logo is, the colour palette really helps it to stand out. I particularly like the use of colour fades and shadowing to give the logo depth.
Posted in Branding → LogoA fascinating logo that uses a really interesting colour combination. The blues of the logotype work very well together but I'm unconvinced by their marriage to the background. I do like the textured effect on the type, however, and the standardised curvature of the letters.
Posted in Branding → LogoA interesting concept logo for a natural sweetener brand. I like the colour palette and effective use of varying shades of green. The symmetrical shape of the logo certainly appeals to me.
Posted in Branding → LogoA wonderfully simple but nonetheless striking logo. The colours here are fascinating, although the orange might be a little overpowering in this context. I like the little details on the hummingbird and the use of shape here.
