Memphis-based Mueller Industries reports rising sales, flat earnings for 2011
Strong results complete a turbulent year marked by Leucadia's investment
Metal products maker Mueller Industries Inc. posted a slight rise in profits last year even though the construction industry was flat again.
Memphis-based Mueller, which employs 3,600 worldwide, on Tuesday reported annual profits of $86.3 million on $2.4 billion in revenue. In 2010, profits reached $86.1 million on $2 billion in revenue.
Mueller makes tubes, bars, rods, forgings, extrusions, pipes, valves and other building products out of aluminum brass, copper and plastic.
It was a turbulent year in the head office for the 118-year-old business, spun out of Miami corporate raider Victor Posner's bankrupt Sharon Steel Corp. in 1990.
Betting on a future rise in construction spending, well-known New York investor Leucadia National Corp. last year amassed a leading stake in Mueller worth about $450 million.
Leucadia placed its two founders, Ian Cumming and Joseph Steinberg, on the Memphis company's board of directors.
On Dec. 31, Harvey L. Karp, who had guided Mueller since the end of the Sharon Steel era, retired as chairman. Karp, 83, remains as a consultant.
Succeeding him as chairman was Alexander P. Federbush, 63, a New York developer who had led Varick Realty Corp.
Leucadia has shown signs of being a patient investor in the past, but it's not clear what Cumming and Steinberg plan for Mueller.
Karp stepped down after Mueller negotiated a standstill agreement. It says Leucadia will own no more than 27.5 percent of Mueller's shares of stock, according to a Leucadia filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The standstill agreement, completed in September, is set to expire in September 2013. Various reports show Leucadia currently with about 10.4 million shares, or about 27.3 percent of Mueller's outstanding stock.
Mueller and Leucadia officials could not be reached for comment on Tuesday. Edward Wheeler, a Buckingham Research Group metals industry analyst, declined to comment.
Longtime Mueller manufacturing executive Gregory Christopher, who joined the company in 1992, continues as chief executive officer, a position he has held since 2008.
Mueller released a statement from Christopher on Tuesday describing business conditions as positive.
"We have successfully navigated from the 2009 downturn with two consecutive years of improvements in operations and earnings," the statement says. "Our financial condition remains strong, and we have major capital improvement projects in progress that we believe will strengthen us for the future. We believe the construction industry will start to rebound in 2012. We anticipate a modest increase in new housing starts as well as an upturn in the nonresidential market."
Despite the slow housing construction market, 2011 was the third-best year on record for Mueller. It is rebounding from 2009, when the recession and credit crunch devastated the building trades. Its revenue that year was $1.5 billion.
Profits in 2011 totaled $2.26 per share of stock, down from $2.28 a year earlier.
The 2011 gains include a legal settlement of $10.5 million, or 18 cents per diluted share.
Mueller is a long-standing name in the city -- a brass plant opened here years ago -- but the headquarters is more recent.
The head office was moved to Memphis in 1996 from Wichita, Kan., to be near Mueller's Mid-South industrial base.
The company, incorporated in 1893, grew up making brass and copper products near Detroit. U.S. Smelting Refining and Mining took control in 1965, renaming itself Mueller Brass, and later renaming itself UV Industries Inc.
Sharon Steel acquired UV in 1979 and filed for bankruptcy six years later. The largest creditors, led by Quantum Overseas NV, took control. Quantum, an investment arm of New York billionaire George Soros based in the island nation of Curacao, revamped UV and spun off Mueller in 1990.

SEC okays bank's recapitalization
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved Philippine Bank of Communications' bid to beef up and simplify its capital base.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Tuesday, PBCom said the SEC had approved the company's change in bylaws in connection with its capital restructuring.
The key components are the following:
- Reclassification of existing preferred shares to common shares;
- Reduction in the par value of all its common shares to P25 per share from P100 per share; and
- Increase in authorized capital stock to P19 billion divided into 760 million common shares with a par value of P25 per share.
The conversion of preferred shares into common shares is meant to simplify the bank's capital structure into a single class of securities. Preferred stocks are prioritized in dividend distribution but are usually non-voting.
The preferred shares of PBCom were an offshoot of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp.'s financial assistance agreement in 2004 that required the shareholders then to subscribe to a different class of shares. That was a legacy issue which no longer exists, PBCom chair Eric Recto said.
PBCom was incorporated as one of the earliest non-American foreign banks in the country in 1939. Operations were interrupted during World War II but were immediately reconstituted in 1945 through the infusion of fresh funds. The bank came under full Filipino ownership in 1974 when a group of industrialists led by Ralph Nubla Sr. bought a majority stake. In 2011, ISM Communications Corp. obtained a controlling stake in the bank.

Is there anything actually coming out for it ?
I have been thinking about it for awhile now but the only interesting thing i have seen that is coming out for it is Persona 4 : Golden and i really don't want to spent that much money for 1 game that i have already played and the PSone games don't really interest me either.
Looking at the selection of games available i saw nothing that looked slightly interesting to me.
are there any interesting games coming out for it in the near future ?
What do you who currently own a vita think of it ?

For stargazers (this one, at least), spring begins when Arcturus rises again in the east in the early evening. This year, given the cold weather, we're still waiting for spring.
Sadly, poor Arcturus used to be one of the most important stars in the heavens, but now few people can find it.
Let's rectify that unjust situation. The easiest way to find Arcturus is to start with the Big Dipper, the brightest stars of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. You'll find the "Big Dip" high in the north just after dark. Follow the handle as it arcs around, and keep going until you come to a bright, yellow-orange star in the east. "Arc to Arcturus," as the old stargazer's saying goes.
Because of its closeness to Ursa Major, the Greeks called it the "Guardian of the Bear." They believed that its power drove the Bear across the sky. In fact, Arcturus is the brightest star in the kite-shaped constellation Bootes, the Herdsman. It may seem odd for him and his brightest star to be herding a bear, but there you go.
You are looking at the fourth brightest star in the sky. The ancient Egyptians worshiped it as a god. It was the Arabian "Keeper of Heaven." To the Chinese, it was the golden "Palace of the Emperor." By closely observing its rising and setting, the ancient Greeks used it to set the dates for their annual festival.
For most folks in the northern hemisphere, it did indeed herald the return of spring, even in places like Egypt where the winter is not nearly so bad as Ohio's. The star foretold the rising of the Nile River and the subsequent restoration of their precious fertile land. The star quite literally meant life to them.
Others were not so sanguine. Sailors saw its rising as a harbinger of violent storms at sea, which is not surprising, since it rises in the year's most turbulent month. Around 460 BCE, the Greek physician Hippocrates believed that its position in the sky influenced human health. At its rising in the spring, "diseases often prove critical." One was apt to die at the rising of the star.
A word for the superstitious: I've been watching Arcturus rise for over 50 springs, and I feel fine, thank you very much.
For centuries, Arcturus has been the subject of close scientific scrutiny. We now know that it is about 37 light years, or about 220 trillion miles, away from us. At 20 million miles in diameter, Arcturus is 25 or more times wider than our sun. Yet it contains only about the same amount of "star stuff" as our yellow dwarf star, the sun. Its stellar material is spread very thinly indeed, with only 1/3,000 the density of the sun.
In effect, Arcturus is a harbinger of things to come for our sun. As an "orange-giant" star, it has reached the end of its life. Like Arcturus, the sun will eventually swell to enormous size and engulf its inner planets, perhaps even to the orbit or Earth.
In a few hundred million years, Arcturus will collapse to a white dwarf and die, sending its outer shell hurtling into space. Our own sun will suffer the same fate, but not so soon: in five or six billion years.
Arcturus is a relatively cool star compared to the sun. It is only "orange-hot" at 7,000 degrees compared to our sun's "yellow-hot" 10,000 degrees. Since Arcturus is relatively close to us as stars go, scientists can actually measure the heat we receive from it. It isn't much — only about the amount you'd get from a candle at five miles away.
For a brief moment in 1933, Arcturus reached the pinnacle of its fame. For the opening of the "Century of Progress" Exposition in Chicago, the light from the star was focused through telescopes on a photoelectric cell. The energy thus generated was used to flip the switch that turned on a huge bank of floodlights, and the Chicago Exposition was for the first time ablaze with the light of a distant star.
Since then, it's been all downhill for Arcturus. Let's face it. People don't look at the stars as much as they used to. The very outside lighting used at the Chicago Exposition now illuminates our cities, and the stars have grown dimmer as a result.
Over the long run, the prognosis is bad for Arcturus. It is moving in our general direction at 90 miles per second, and it will reach its closest point to us — at just a few hundredths of a light year closer — in about 4,000 years. However, its arcing path will eventually cause it to move away. In a few million years, its distance from us will cause it to fade from view, and the "Keeper of Heaven" will desert us for a million centuries.

Water Damage Local.com Tracks Hurricane Irene, Anticipates Landfall By Weekend
Flood damage provider predicts Irene will strike the Carolinas as a Category 3 storm, and advises residents to be aware of rapidly deteriorating weather conditions.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 24, 2011
Water Damage Local.com, a nationwide network of flood damage and water restoration provides, is keeping a sharp eye on Hurricane Irene as the Category 2 storm barreled through the Caribbean and set its crosshairs on the United States Eastern seaboard. Irene left more than 800,000 people without power in the Dominican Republic and slammed through Puerto Rico knocking out power and uprooting trees.
Most meteorologists predict the storm will strengthen considerably over the next 24 to 48 hours, quite possibly becoming a strong Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of more than 131 mph, before coming ashore on the US mainland sometime this weekend.
Tuesday saw Irene pass over the Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as the southeastern Bahamas, during which time it was expected to become a major hurricane, category 3, with winds topping out at 110 mph.
Hurricane watches are expected to start going up as soon as Wednesday, from the eastern coast of Florida all the way up through North Carolina. Because the storm is so large, it becomes difficult to tell where exactly it will make landfall, or how much coastline will be affected. Areas of southern Florida could begin feeling the leading edge of Irene as early as midweek.
"This is going to be impacting a lot of real estate from South Florida through the Carolinas," said Dennis Feltgen, the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The most recent forecast has Irene moving into the Chesapeake Bay at hurricane strength by Sunday. This is the same forecast that had her making landfall along the North Carolina coast. Some models still show Irene remaining at sea, but the general consensus is that a large portion of the US East coast will be affected in some way.
FEMA said Monday it was "closely monitoring" Irene's path and coordinating storm preparations with state authorities.
The last hurricane to make US landfall was Hurricane Ike, a Category 2 storm that struck Texas and Louisiana with 95 mph winds in 2008. The last major hurricane to strike the US was Wilma, a Category 3 storm that stormed across Florida in 2005.
Billy Ritchie, Content Manager for Water Damage Local.com said âœWe hope that the absence of any major storms for such a prolonged period hasnât resulted in complacency among coastal residents. Everyone in this stormâs path should make preparations to evacuate before conditions get really bad.â
South Carolina's Emergency Management Division also was in contact with federal and county officials as it monitored Irene's path. "It does give us concern, with so much coastline in the cone of probability," said Derrec Becker, a spokesman at the emergency division.
The last major hurricane to strike South Carolina was Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
Water Damage Local.com advises residents in the path of Irene to be aware of rapidly changing weather conditions, have an evacuation plan in place, and enough supplies packed to sustain a period of several days in a motel or shelter. Supplies should include clothes, food, bottled water, cash, important documents such as insurance cards and ID, as well as a battery powered radio or television (with extra batteries).
Residents should also have the number of a local, qualified, IICRC certified flood damage and water restoration provider, to take care of any damage inflicted by the storm.

Weighting rackets is no big secret. Your story makes you sound dilusional. If you really thought you had something, you should have put in for a patent application instead of shopping your idea around with the racket companies.

The industry tells you their racquets are designed to be light overall and head heavy.
By head heavy, they mean about 5 extra grams in the head. Small amounts of weight in the head can dramatically change the feel of the head. The Wilson NCode Six-One is a perfect example. Pick it up, and almost anyone says it feels heavy. But they say pros like heavy racquets.
Not exactly true: pros like heavy racquets, but they dont like for them to feel heavy. If Wilson adds 5 or 10 extra grams to the head of the production Six-One, it is impossible to add two ounces to the top of the handle and the racquet is usable, by anyone.
In order to modify the racquet like Sampras racquets, they have to make the head so light it is unusable without the extra weight in the handle. You cant modify any of the current production racquets using my technique, and sell them, although the older racquets, such as the Rossignol, which is actually from the 80's, could be modified.
I had maxed out the opposite theory: light head -- heavy handle, and showed it to Wilson. They maxed it out even further by giving Sampras a racquet with a super light head and super heavy handle, so that his racquet actually weighed 16.2 ounces, but had an extremely light head. I cant produce that racquet without being a racquet company, but I have a special Babalot called a VS Drive that weighs 243 grams strung, with a super light head. It is unusable when unmodified. I guess it was designed for players who modify their racquets. It was called VS Drive, and is no longer available. I have one. I modified it with 61 grams of lead at the top of the handle, thats 2.2 ounces.
There is a funny story. An 11-year-old walked up to me when I was hitting at the wall outside my apartment. He asked if he could try what I was doing. It looked like fun. I was slamming the ball into the wall. I gave him that Babolat. He wouldnt stop, as he spent about 15 minutes hitting, and started to look like a pro, even though he had never played tennis. He asked his father to buy him a racquet. I saw him again with his new racquet, but he was not looking like a pro, and getting angry, throwing the new racquet. I never saw him again.
With my racquet, he loved tennis. With a proper new racquet, he hated tennis. If I sound delusional it is because I cant get anyone in the industry to work with me, or believe me.
The whole thing about painted racquets is the industry trying to sell people on what they think works best, which is ultra light racquets with slightly heavier heads than normal. But as was said, those racquets have less feel. The best idea is to use the scientific theories the industry has developed, and produce racquets like that 304 gram Babolat I have.
Can you not work out a small modern weight change please and e-mail me please i'll even send a few dollars paypal if it works lol
thanks so much
When I've sobered up I'll write one!

This simple weight change seems somewhat cursed. You hear regular tennis players talking about a big deception in the racquet industry. It is true; it's really there.
After I exchanged several letters with Head, they agreed to meet me at the Super Show and talk in person. When I got there, they left no credentials for me to get in. But I had been talking to Paul Kidd at ProKennex. I called him and he got me in. Every time I went to the Head booth, I could not get an appointment. I explained the whole thing, the fact that they had invited me there. Finally it was over, and I never talked to Head.
The racquet has to be precise. 5 extra grams in the head, and it wont work. From 1990, Sampras used a 1970-era Pro Staff with no head guard. The headguard weighs about 5 grams. They tried to get him to add weight to his racquethead, but he refused to let them, and they said, Sampras is a spoiled child when it comes to racquets.
But I did get through to Head with letters they answered. They made some racquets according to this weighting theory. The racquet has to be designed for this weighting from head to butt by the racquetmaker. You can't convert a racquet that has been designed according to another weighting concept. All the parameters are too narrow.
Agassi got the Head version of the racquet, thanks to my letters, even though Head would not talk to me at the Super Show. Agassi and Sampras started having amazing matches.
That made tennis insiders mad. They thought tennis was becoming a different game because of power baseline play. It was becoming different, but it was a better and more popular game. They forced Head to take the racquet away from Agassi that cannot be documented what can be documented is they made a rule in 1995 that said racquets cant be 16 ounces.
That meant they changed Sampras racquets in 1995, adding the head guard, making the head heavier. Thats when Nate Ferguson started setting them up, making them 14 ounces instead of 16 ounces. But we can remember the weird tennis Sampras played after 1995, nearly losing to qualifiers ranked in the 300s: things like that. They were trying to change what was working in order to reduce the power game in tennis.
I got a job as a stringer in a famous tennis shop, Don's Tennis in Charlotte, 9 months ago.
I know the feel of racquets, and did extensive experimenting with stringing, stringing almost a thousand racquets so far. I learned how to make all the current racquets work by precisely adjusting head length. My racquets that I string work better than people expect them to. But Don is supposed to be the local racquet master. When people come in and say, This racquet is wonderful! It has never hit this well before! Don cringes. A woman said yesterday, after testing two demos, I hit with another players racquet. The ball was doing everything it was supposed to do. Springing off the strings, I really liked it. Don cringed again. He said to me, I cant control my shots with your racquets. They are cannons. I cant allow you to string racquets different from me. Most other players say my racquets have more power as well as more control; and I say they are supposed to be cannons: thats the idea. The tennis industry is doing the same thing that Don is doing to me. They think a player is not supposed to go from second tier junior to world-beater and back to second tier player because of the racquet; then win the US Open with ease, and then retire and never play again like Sampras. His racquet must be dangerous, they have to discontinue it. And they did.
Rich Janes designed the original 1970s Pro Staff. I talked to him on the phone when he had a job with Penn. I think he got a job with Babolat and designed the first Pure Drive. The Pure Drive is very similar to the first Pro Staff. It has a lot of thickness up the shaft. I have one Babolat with a light head. In every way it is just like a 1970s Pro Staff. I added 2.2 ounces to the top of the grip, like Sampras' racquets, and kids and old ladies like it.
In Sampras Pro Staff, they could have lightened the butt half of the handle and made it weigh 12 ounces, easy, with 3½ ounces at the top of the grip. It would have had the same performance.
My one Babolat is the same design and only weighs 249 grams strung. (I just weighed it.) It has the same light head and overall design as the 1975 Pro Staff. I think the same man designed it, Rich Janes, but it uses modern weight saving technology. When I added a lot of weight to the top of the handle, like Sampras' racquets, it still weighed under 11 ounces, and a kid loved it; so did a 50-year-old lady: threatening the myth that says average players can't play with racquets that can be used successfully by pros.
I can't add the same weight, or a lighter version of it to any current racquets, and have average players like them.
I can string current racquets making them work better than expected. People like my racquets, but I am about to be fired by Don because he cant tolerate a stringer who is better than he is in his shop, even though one customer after another praises racquets I have strung. I am about to lose a job. It isnt that great a job, making $8 per racquet when I was the one who showed Wilson the weighting concept that dominates tennis. I am not really mad about that, in fact, I like the fact I have done all of this. My life is not bad, but I have to work with other experts to make my ideas work. I am not good enough to do it by myself. That could mean working for ProKennex. I talked to Paul Kidd about working for Pro Kennex, at the Super Show in 1994, but nothing happened.
Later that year, 1994, Agassi changed tennis and made it much more popular, using ideas in his racquets that I had told to Head. Head wouldnt talk to me in person.
Can you please tell me where I can get one of your weight modified racquets, or can you please modify one for me. I'm willing to pay $$. Also, I have a question. Didn't Sampras put 5 strips of lead tape on the head of his racquets?
Another question, if I get a racquet that is 12 pts head light, and weighs 11.4 oz, how much leadtape would I have to the top of the handle to make it modified based on your weighting system? For example, I can get a roll of leadtape, so how many inches of it would I have to put on top of the handle? Or is it impossible to modify this type of racquet? And if so, is there any possible way I can get a racquet modified based on your weighting system? Thanks in advance John.

Hopefully, Don and I can work together to provide the best possible racquets, nationwide. But it doesn't look like that small businessman is going to take any advise from anyone. I believe I have come to hate independent cottage industry people, who only want to do their own thing, and can't see the big picture. I may have lost faith in individuality; and now, I wish large corporations who only want to do what makes sense and provide the best possible product would take over.
If I could work with a large corporation, we could provide these racquets to you.
Ok, now for my other question, if Pete Sampras put 5 strips of lead tape on both sides of his head, than doesn't this contradict your weight theory? Because it is indeed safe to say he did put lead tape, and according to many including TW, 5 strips of it. So, doesn't that add weight to the head and contradict your theory?

The ideal head has weight in the middle because it has weight naturally at the top and bottom. So you can make the head ultra light, then add weight to the middle and it is still light, but well-balanced, because it is good to have extra weight in the middle of the head to make up for the natural weight of the string bridge and the top of the bow.
Those are things only a racquet company can do. You can't fiddle with racquets much, making them much different from the way they are made. But you can do a lot if you start from scratch.
If the racquet has all of its weight and power in the top of the handle, it is much easier to control than if the weight is out in the head. That is a theory that sounds good, which I demontrated to Wilson. I made it work. But for some reason the tennis industry is trying to give people new racquets every year that are the exact opposite of what I demonstrated. The new racquets are racquets people don't like as much as they liked their old ones. And with paint jobs on pro racquets, the industry is hiding the fact that people don't like the new racquets. The industry says, "You will begin to like the new racquets. The next generation of pros will use the new racquets."
Why not give people what they like? Why discontinue or change a model that a lot of people use, and not make the old one available? Why is this so common?
What serious business is run this way?
So wouldn't a custom built racquet from Vantage that is 11.7 ounces and 12 pts head light be using your recommended weight distribution method. I mean, if it weighs that much unstrung, and is 12pts headlight, isn't most of the weight in the handle, thus defining your weighting method? And if not, can't you slap a lot of lead tape on right on top of the handle to make it work?

Well, try it and see if it makes your racquet better. It sounds similar to an old racquet. Weight there might improve it a lot. Add more and more weight to see if it keeps improving. I have shaped the weight and the shape is important.
I am working on a product, and I have already contacted someone to make it that you can tape onto the top of the grip (put an overgrip over it) and it improves racquet performance. I am a perfectionist, and so far I haven't decided to manufacture the part. I'm still tinkering with it. My goal was to have it by the Super Show, but it won't make that. An early version of it is what you see in the photo of the Prince Shark. The current version weighs just under one ounce, 27 grams. It's very conservative in its weight, but makes the racquet feel more solid and gives it more ball control. Good players like it; average players think it makes the racquet heavy. I'm still tinkering. I want average players to like it.

Your custom racquet really does sound like the old racquets that aren't being manufactured anymore. You like it. Why do you think they won't make a racquet like that?
Why do those racquets have to be custom racquets? Why not offer one racquet that is balanced very head light, and works?
I mean, just making it head light isn't the solution, but making it head light and it works is. That sounds like it should be a popular racquet. You like it, or you wouldn't have bought it. If you were a contract player, why would the tennis industry paint that racquet like a current head heavy production model? Why not make that racquet?

I looked up Vantage on the web. My modified Prince O3 Red is almost exactly the same as your prebuilt Vantage. Mine is balanced at 310mm, yours is at 305. My O3 Red is 334g. Your racquet is 330g according to the website.
I just bought the O3 Red a week ago, and I feel it has a huge amount of potential. Maybe there will be a truly good racquet, modified from a production racquet. The Gold O3 Tour is also great. It feels like last year's orange and black Dunlop 300G, only better.
Sorry if this has gotten off subject, but I think there is hope. There is going to be a backlash to modern super light, head heavy racquets that pros won't use, and most players don't like as much as their old racquets.

and does this increased weight in the grip have an affect on the player's wrist/elbow/arm?
Thanks for the responses John, I think I have really learned a lot, and have a new perspective on things now. I'm looking forward to the release of that weight for the handle, hope it comes out soon. Again, thanks.

Are you meaning that the ideal place to put lead tape is the top of the grip? Why should it be better than the bottom of the grip? I understand that putting it in the handle is better, but why at the top of it?
Moreover, what does this system bring you? Maneuvrability? More power because of the added weight?

Hi johncauthen
Normal lead tapes are far too light.

I have been playing tennis since I was 8 years old, or nineteen and a half years. I read a lot of the threads here and the reason I did it is that I also have encountered differences in the racquets of the past and the ones they started producing during the early nineties. I used to play with Dunlop MAX 200G and I loved it from the first time I hit a ball with it! I am talking about the racquet that was used by world's former #1 John McEnroe and world's former #1 Steffi Graf. To the best of my knowledge, this racquet is the one that has won more grand slam titles than any other racquet to this day. I am not 100% sure about that so do not get fired up about it... But anyway, I personally think that this is the best tennis racquet ever made and I have hard time understanding why Dunlop stop manufacturing it. I asked an executive of Dunlop in Greenville, South Carolina and his answer was that the technology they used to make this racquet was very expensive. I personally do not believe that statement. They use so much for research and developement for new models and all the new technologies that they use, but yet they cannot afford to produce such a great and proven tennis racquet? I do not think so. As a matter of fact, I read an article where John McEnroe himself said that Dunlop MAX 200G was an amazing racquet. I never heard or read about his saying that about any other racquet. Actually, the tennis coach at the university where I took my bachelor degree told me that one day in the past, before McEnroe was using the MAX 200G, he practiced with his brother who was beating him badly... Than John decided to try his brother's racquet and never put it down since!!! Anyway, I started telling this story, because I wanted to share my experience with you. I happend to accomplish a lot during the years when I was using the Dunlop MAX 200G in my country of origin which is Bulgaria, Europe. For example, I became a national champion for my age group and at the age of 15 I reached the quarters for men, defeating ATP players. All that until I broke two of my racquets and I had to look for more. I then, realized that the Dunlop MAX 200G was discontinued and I had to switch my tennis racquet. I was given the opportunity to get a contract with Head due to my good results as a junior. I took the Head Prestige Classic and tested it. The first time I hit the ball it went straight to the curtain in the tennis hall where we practiced that day. I hit the ball exactly the same way I was hitting with my MAX 200G, but I had no touch whatsoever with the new racquet. The string tension was right, but it just felt completely different. Since that day I am in search for the racquet that will give me feeling and performance at least close to the one I got from the Dunlop MAX 200G, but it seems like something is going on in the world of tennis racquet manufacturers and they no longer produce true players racquets or I suddenly lost my abilities to play good tennis that day, 12 years ago... The difference is so big that since then I have lost against players whom I used to beat with ease and never lose a set against. I just can't get that feeling, control, and comfort that Dunlop MAX 200G gave me. The only racquet that came close to that was a racquet that was bought from a Yugoslavian ex-tennis pro and was made especially for him and was some version of the Puma that Boris Becker used. That racquet had that soft feeling and control that I was used to getting from the MAX 200G or at least close to it. I had played with many of the big brand's tennis racquets of the modern era (after 1990), for example Volkl C7 (had a contract with Volkl), Fischer Vacuum Michael Shtich, Dunlop Revelation 200G, Dunlop Muscle Weave 200G, Wilson Hyper Carbon, Head Radical (Red and silver), Wilson Hammer, Volkl C10, and others, but none of them came even close to the feeling and performance the MAX 200G provided me with. Now I am using the Dunlop M-FIL 200 which in some way reminds me of the MAX 200G, but it is still not as good. I guess that the improvement of the new model is due to the recent help that the company got from John McEnroe in designing their racquets. I also remember that before the MAX 200G I used to play with an aluminum Head with a long body and small round head which was not bad at all. I cannot claim if it was an amazing racquet though, because I was too young and had not achieved anything significant with it at the time, except for being one of the top ranked kids in my country for my age group. I personally think that I have lost a lot of joy and victories due to my switching to a different racquet and my disability to find one that had the features of the old professional tennis racquets from the eighties. I am talking about weight, frame stifness, ballance. This has being bothering me since then and I just can't stand it sometimes. I played for a German tennis club for two years and for an Austrian tennis club for two more years. While I was playing in Germany, I bought two of the Dunlop MAX 200G racquets which I keep to this day. I still hit with them every now and then and they prove to be better than anything else, every time I try them. To me, Dunlop MAX 200G was revolutionary for the time when it was invented and that is why it was inducted into the museum of technological innovations. The truth is, I do not care about the material of the racquet or any other feature, I just want to get the feeling and response from it like I did with the MAX 200G and some other older and heavier racquets to a certain extent. Obviously, I want too much... None of the tennis racquet manufacturers is able to produce that successful combination anymore and sell it to the public. To me, they should be ashamed of this fact! I personally think that my tennis life was ruined because of that. Well, who am I and who cares about me and others like, right...?Cheers!

Identification of genomic determinants of complex disorders such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease has prompted public health systems to focus on genetic service delivery for prevention of these disorders, adding to their previous efforts in birth defects prevention and newborn screening. This focus is consistent with previously identified obligations of the public health system as well as the core functions of public health identified by the Institute of Medicine. Models of service delivery include provision of services by the primary care provider in conjunction with subspecialists, provision of services through the medical home with co-management by genetics providers, provision of services in conjunction with disorder-specific treatment centers, and provision of services through a network of genetics clinics linked to medical homes. Whatever the model for provision of genetic services, tools to assist providers include facilities for outreach and telemedicine, information technology, just-in-time management plans, and emergency management tools. Assessment tools to determine which care is best are critical for quality improvement and development of best practices. Because the workforce of genetics providers is not keeping pace with the need for services, an understanding of the factors contributing to this lag is important, as is the development of an improved knowledge base in genomics for primary care providers.

Migos feat. Drake, "Versace (Remix)"
Sometimes a single word is all you need to craft an indelible hook. For this trio of young, brash ATLiens, the magic syllables are "Versace," repeated so many times they blow past conspicuous consumption straight into post-verbal nirvana. Even better: This official remix, where Drake does Migos the high honor of stealing their excitable flow.

Britney Spears left the safety of Malibu to head to her hometown of Kentwood, LA for her sister's bridal shower and guess what, the party was apparently "normal!" This not only the first time Brit's been back to Kentwood in over a year, but it's also the first time she's been described as normal in ages. All in all this trip was a huge success! A guest in attendance said that, "Jamie Lynn opened every gift. We all sat in a circle and she opened gifts and thanked every person. It was just a good old-fashioned baby shower."
B kept it so real in honor of her lil sis, that she got all dolled up in a dress to smoke on the porch and then headed back home to Cali in a sexy get-up of tiny pink shorts and white wedge flip flops. The singer really embodies the greatest joy of motherhood – dressing trashing. Jamie-Lynn has so much to look forward too! [People]

Critical Essay by Richard Moore
Maxine Kumin is an accomplished and professional poet of what might be called the Bishop-Lowell-Sexton school. More important, when she has a subject she can write moving and memorable poems. The best of those in her second book, The Privilege …, are a series of evocations of childhood. In "The Spell," for example, that enchanted garden we can all remember (and which has been popping in and out of modern verse for quite some time now) suddenly becomes startlingly real and alive with supernatural presences, including a mother who seems like the God in Genesis. (pp. 29-30)
One can see in [some of the poems collected in The Privilege a] witty manner which—along with striking descriptions evoking unexpected senses—is Mrs. Kumin's main way of making poems. Sometimes she seems grimly determined to be witty, and this...

Property Details
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, 6 Sleeps
Beautiful newly renovated (2012) 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath High end Beachfront Condo in Turtle Dunes in Amelia Island Plantation. Large ground floor end unit is
approx. 2,000 square feet. Most importantly, great ocean view with
beach and pool each within 50 yards.
This unit is newly redecorated, and is not your typical beach
rental. 10 foot ceilings in living room, dining room, and bedrooms.
Newly repainted throughout, and new granite countertops, cabinetry, and new appliances have been
installed in kitchen.
This unit is the best of both worlds....great view of the beach from
your private back patio while getting quick access to parking or
beach and pool. Turtle Dunes is the southernmost condo in Amelia
Island Plantation, so you will have plenty of privacy on the beach
or pool. There is no public access to the beach, so crowds are not
an issue.
No smoking, no pets.
More photos, or a quicktime slideshow available by email upon request.
For those still considering other beach areas. let me explain the
reasons we decided to purchase in Amelia Island rather than Destin
1) Closer, easier drive from Atlanta or other Northern cities. More
use of highways. We are only 20 minutes off I-95. Much closer to
commercial airport..Jacksonville Airport is only 30 minutes away.
2) Private, relaxing atmosphere. Minimal traffic congestion,
beaches and restaurants never crowded.
3) Better weather. Warmer in winter, cooler in summer by a few
degrees. Fewer hurricane risks which could impact your vacation. It
has been nearly 100 years since significant hurricane has hit Amelia
Island. Several times a year we get folks moving from the gulf to our
unit to escape the brunt of a hurricane.
4) Better beach and ocean. We've not aware of any issues with
riptide or red tides. Beach is much longer and wider. Great beach
for running or even biking on the sand- beach is so wide that there is
good mix between soft sand (for dipping your toes) and hard sand (for
running, biking, etc.)
5) Beauty. Tree-lined biking trails beat highrise-lined streets in
Destin. Seldom any lines at the local awesome restaurants.
6) Better rental value for your money. This unit would rent for 30%
more in Destin.
7) Activities. World class golf and tennis. Beautiful bike trails.
You are at a resort...not a big condo in row of big condos.
Historical Fernandina Beach and Fort Clinch Park are each 15 minutes
away. Downtown Fernandina Beach has is a charming area...with great
restaurants without the feeling of being a tourist trap.

The Ireland segments of a European speaking tour with an Anarchist from Moscow who will talk about the anarchist movement in Russia, its successes and failures. Antti Rautiainen lived in Moscow for 13 years, participating in anarchist activities. His residence permit was revoked in March of this year, allegedly because he "called for a violent overthrow of constitutional order, or otherwise endangered the safety of Russian Federation or its citizens". He is member of Autonomous Action and the Anarchist Black Cross of Moscow.
The anarchist movement in Moscow has faced huge challenges in this period, we strongly encourage you to come along and hear Antti's first hand account of these experiences.

It is lighter than traditional walls and is designed to provide a high acoustic performance
Saint-Gobain Gyproc, which is the Indian module of the Saint-Gobain Group, is looking to enter the Indian market with Drywall and Acoustic Ceiling solutions. Drywall is a relatively new concept in India. The gypsum plasterboard- based solution reduces the complications that are faced in normal masonry constructions. Drywall is lighter than its traditional version and is designed to provide a high acoustic performance, something that the normal wall fails to accomplish.
There are three main components in a Drywall: the gypsum plaster boards, studs (which hold the plasterboard together) and the specially designed Drywall screws. The installation procedure is simple and requires limited specialisation and technical know-how. Drywalls can be used in offices, hospitals, residential complexes and schools. John Nelson, Global Marketing Manager, Saint-Gobain Gyproc, U.K. said, "Drywalls are known the world over. When it comes to construction costs, Drywalls would be a value proposition for anyone."
Drywalls also simplify processes such as wiring or adding a new switch board. Since they are made from plaster they can be easily cut and the switchboard placed. Even painting on these walls would not be an issue and can be done immediately as the manufacture of these walls does not involve water, so there is no drying period.
The company's acoustic ceilings are marketed under the brand name Ecophon. They are designed to reduce decibel levels. Frans Davidson, Saint Gobain Ecophon, Sweden, said, "Acoustic requirements play a major role while designing a certain space. Ecophon's mission is to contribute to a good working environment for the ear and the mind. The right room design and the right building material go hand in hand while delivering the right room acoustics."

I need to bake this cake as a sheet cake in a 12 x18x 1/2 inch tall cookie sheet pan how long would I need to bake it and would the ingredients change for that size cake ? It's for a friends birthday at church.Please let me know as soon as possible I have to have it ready by Sunday morning.
Was this helpful?
My 10 year old grandson made this cake for his sister's 16 Birthday Party. She had two cakes but everybody wanted the Red Velvet cake he made instead of the bakery bought cake. The Red Velvet cake was a hit, very moist and tasty.
Easy to follow recipe. Very good, moist cake.
The cake has more chocolate flavor that I like but it is still very good. The texture and moisture are almost perfect.
Me gusta la receta
I made this cake over the weekend for a baby shower and it was a hit! Very moist and a very delicious flavor! I'm not a fan of red velvet cake, but this recipe was excellent. The icing was also delicious! I do not care for cream cheese icing, but this had a great combination of flavor and the cream cheese wasn't over bearing. I would definitely recommend using this recipe if you are looking for a red velvet cake that is easy to make, and even better to eat!

Free boat for me - lots of questions
As Paul suggests, a lot of the answer depends on the particular model and what you expect to do with the boat. You should be able to get by with a 4 hp on a more modern design and will want more like 6hp on an older boat.
Whether it is worth fixing up the boat also depends on the model and condition and how fussy you are. To quote my oft mentioned old boat litany you can expect to find some ''issues'' with any older boat. Unless very well maintained and updated by a previous owner, you might expect to need to address some combination of the following items:
· Sails, chainplates, mast step and associated suporting structure, standing and running rigging that are beyond their useful lifespan,
· an engine that is in need of rebuild or replacement,
· worn out or out of date deck, galley, and head hardware,
· worn out upholstery,
· Out of date safety gear
· electronics that are non operational, or in need of updating,
· electrical and plumbing systems that need repairs, upgrades to modern standards or replacement.
· Blister, fatigue, rudder, hull deck joint or deck coring problems
· Keel bolt replacement (bolt on keel) or delamination of the hull from the ballast for a glassed in keel.
· And perhaps a whole range of aesthetic issues.
On a good solid design, you can easily get your money out of the boat but there are boats so ignoble that they are not worth yoru time and effort. When you know more post it and with that we should be able to give more meaningful advice.

Fixing what's broke: 10 stories from Ars you may have missed this week
Ars published many stories this week, but many took a look at holes and patches in the tech world. From a very literal perspective, we looked at a backdoor used in an industrial heating system used by the FBI, IRS, and the Pentagon. Apple also patched what many users saw as a fatal flaw in iOS: the lack of a reliable maps app. The company allowed Google maps to issue its own, non-native app for iPhone users.
In a more figurative sense, Ars looked at the problems with HP's corporate structure, and discussed the energy grid of the future.
If you missed any of the stories below this week, now's your chance to catch up.

Electric school buses set to roll in California
By Ben Coxworth
November 4, 2013
No, an electric school bus isn't as exciting as an electric Porsche or Lotus, but in the grand scheme of things, it's probably a lot more important. Case in point – a fleet of such buses are scheduled to hit the road in California next year, with each vehicle saving its school district a claimed 16 gallons (60.5 L) of fuel per day, adding up to US$11,000 in fuel savings per year.
The battery-powered SST-e buses were created in a collaboration between school bus manufacturer Trans Tech Bus and Motiv Power Systems. Kings Canyon Unified School District, in the San Joaquin Valley, will be the recipient of the first vehicles off the line.
The SST-e is built around the existing Ford E450 truck chassis, utilizing Motiv's electric Powertrain Control System. That system is said to be compatible with a wide variety of chassis and battery types, meaning that few modifications are required to the stock chassis, and that better-performing batteries can be swapped in as technology advances.
Although little is available in the way of specs, the buses will have a range of 80 or 100 miles (129 or 161 km), depending on whether they're equipped with four or five battery packs – any one of those packs can be replaced without having to replace all the others. The batteries can be charged to 50 percent capacity in less than an hour, while a full charge takes eight hours. They utilize a 3-phase fast charging system that "requires minimal building modifications and no expensive charging stations."
The Type A bus can carry up to 32 students, or 24 students and one wheelchair. Thanks to a built-in telemetry system, the location of each bus can be monitored remotely, as can its maintenance needs and its driver's performance.
Source: Motiv Power Systems via Clean Technica
They need to install a beeper on the bus or some kind of artificial noise.
I'm guessing many kids, like myself used the distant sound of the school bus stopping and starting as a final-call alarm clock letting you know that you really need to get your arse out of bed!!!Luke Hopkins
A good idea - but built on an old technology platform, this is a missed opportunity. To fully utilize the benefits of electric drive, the vehicle should be made both from light weight materials and with a modern aerodynamic body. This is the equivalent of a motorized horseless carriage. Here in Europe, this style of design disappeared in the early 90s.Niklas Wejedal
This will be interesting to see how it works out. I wonder if they have things like A/C or heat and what that does for the over all service life of the battery packs and how that will off set the fuel use? Not against this just curios how it'll work out in real life? :-)mrhuckfin
normal cost of the same size school bus? cost of the electric school bus? lifetime of both school buses? lifetime of the batteries? feed it all in and see if they are cost effective. something that both the schools and gizmag should be doing to give us readers a complete story instead of a blurb. i'm all for cutting pollution, cutting petroleum use, but give us a report please.notarichman
Did you know that some school busses have an exhaust pipe on the bottom passenger side, blowing poisonous fumes right into children's faces?
Same for many pickup trucks who adopted the right side pipe from the race track.
I knew an engineering prof at Munich Technical University who was fond of saying that every other engineer ought to be lined up and shot. He has a point.moreover
The hydrocarbon fuel not bought at a pump is not a true measure of the operating savings, or even if there are savings. Questions: 1. What is the cost of the electricity used to charge the buses?
What kind of fuel is used to produce that electricity?
Do the electric vehicles cost more than the gasoline vehicles, and if so how much more and how much more per mile traveled?
What are the comparative costs of battery replacements and handling and maintenance compared to maintenance costs of gasoline or diesel bus?
What are the costs of any subsidies received by the buses?
So far the only message of this story is that California is using electric school buses. Is it another politically correct money hole for the state or a true economy?taconia
Combining this design with wireless charging stations at intervals would extend the range of the buses and provide additional incentives for other vehicles to adopt the technology.Kevin Swanson
So, how much more does each bus cost, (opposed to conventional fuel powered buses), and what does it cost for equipment and electricity each day to re-charge each bus? Given the life expectancy of each bus, which one is more efficient?Observer101
I find it interesting that they tell us the fuel savings per year per bus, but not the cost of the bus. How many years before the new buses break even and start making money for the district? Ok, to be fair, let's look at the cost differential between new petroleum powered buses and the new battery operated ones.
Of course, heat and air aren't as important in California, but how are these buses going to fare in the rest of the country? Even though kids make good space heaters, I seriously doubt we want to rely on that for, say, a Minnesota winter.Bryan Paschke
School is canceled because somebody threw a crowbar into the substation and the buses still have dead batteries.Slowburn
Agree with Niklas. Why does the U.S. continue to make school bus improvements on old, ugly platforms? Lol, this is the 21st century.
Congrats to Kings Canyon Unified, though. Hope this new creation also comes with air conditioning, considering how hot it gets in the Central Valley of California, as well as the strobe light that can be turned on during the early morning hours of the treacherous, Tule Fog, that creates dangerous situations of almost zero-like visibility.Marco Corona
Frees America from the Chinese loans to pay for foreign oil system in place today - add that factor into the cost, and realize, even in the worst of times, the sun will still shine, make electricity and carry the kids to school.Bruce Miller
The larger savings might be in a cleaner environment for our children who are around the bus scene. Less illness? Less noise? And healthier children will be--probably--better citizens, creators, parents. The change to electric just might result in cures to illnesses through the children's better lives.Joe Faust
In a world where fuel oil has peaked, this is a great story. In the US, we don't pay the real cost for fuel. Even the worst electrical generating facility is more efficient than the best bus motor, gas or diesel. And the electric motor has so fewer parts to maintain. Thanks for posting this article, and looking forward to many more.Jeff in PT
@ Jeff in PT The doom and gloom including peak oil predictions have all failed to materialize. however switching the buses to methane (natural gas) would be pleasant.Slowburn
@ Slowburn
Apparently the peak has been delayed by ruining your fresh water with fracking. Natural gas makes sense but might not get a grant.Ozuzi
This is one of the more sensible applications for electric vehicles. School buses tend to be constantly accelerating and stopping which lends itself to gains in efficiency through regenerative braking. Also, for the most part, after they have done their route they will go back to the charging station for several hours before having to go back into service for a relatively short route. Now let's get some electric postal delivery vehicles.Siegfried Gust
@ Ozuzi Apparently oil companies are not greedy enough to make sure that none of their oil escapes.Slowburn
@ moreover "lining people up and shooting them" advocated in Germany ? What year was this?duh3000

In about ten days from now, Priyanka Chopra will have her hugely ambitious and challenging project 'Mary Kom' reach the audiences worldwide. A poignant biopic, a first on the life of a woman athlete, Priyanka Chopra's look and the film's montages have already evoked a huge buzz among the public.
But the question that arises is: Will Priyanka Chopra's 'Mary Kom' do what 'Million Dollar Baby' did for Hilary Swank? It probably might. Priyanka is definitely one of the most astounding actresses who definitely has been able to pull off some really great films on her shoulders. Be it a 'Fashion' or a 'Barfi!', Priyanka's career graph is laced with few films that somehow patronize her as a terrific artist. But off late, Priyanka's rash career choices have been too much of a let down. While most people expected PeeCee to do something bombastic after her terrific Barfi! act, she went on to do 'Zanjeer 2.0' which bombed at the box office.
With some racy and sensuous item numbers up her sleeve, and playing an arm candy in Yash Raj Films' 'Gunday' not helping, Priyanka definitely seemed to have come back on track. A film that has definitely pumped the fervour all in, 'Mary Kom' looks like a winner already. And being based on the life of a boxer, comparisons are bound to happen between the Piggy Chops starrer and Hilary Swank's 'Million Dollar Baby'. The Hollywood film still stands as one of the most iconic films made on boxing. Revolving around the life of an underdog boxer, played by Hilary Swank, who with the help of her boxer trainer goes on to achieve all that she desired, 'Million Dollar Baby' struck the right chords.
The film went on to win several Academy Awards and Hilary Swank soon became the go-to actress. 'Mary Kom' too which boasts of a spectacular performance from Priyanka, given the challenges the actress had to undergo for the film, seems to bring Priyanka right back on track.
What we see from the trailer gives us a hint of what to expect from the film and Priyanka's fiery attitude coupled with Mary's valiant story of her battles and struggles forces us to believe that 'Mary Kom' might just turn out to be Priyanka's breakthrough performance of sorts. As of now, we just want to say: Don't let us down, PC!
