It's been a week since we've heard something from Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. Wonder what Johnny Football is up to? Turns out, Manziel is at Mardi Gras, where he is dressed like Johnny Beads. He's hanging with Mississippi linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche (the brother of national No.1 high school recruit Robert Nkemdiche), LSU running back Jeremy Hill and a few other guys. We don't know what serious SEC football fans think of these guys hanging together, but we know that some Texas A&M fans just got over Manziel throwing the Texas 'Hook'Em Horns' at a concert in Austin last week. Manziel, Nkemdiche and Hill are in New Orleans, so if you see Johnny Football throwing beads to Southern Belles in the Big Easy tonight, make sure somebody gets pics. Started from bottom now we here OVO. Me and jmanziel2 my Heisman brother!

Olivine dissolution by acidic fluids in Argyre Planitia, Mars: Evidence for a widespread process?
Joshua L. Bandfield et al., Earth and Space Sciences, Box 351310, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-1310, USA. Pages 579-582.
Although there is ample evidence for compositions that formed in a water-rich environment at some point in the Martian past, these compositions are limited in areal extent. New results presented by Bandfield et al. combine results from Mars satellite and rover datasets to show that aqueous alteration has been much more extensive than has been presumed by many researchers. Bedrock outcrops show differences in composition with the surfaces and soils derived from these rocks. These differences are the same as would be expected with exposure to small amounts of liquid water. Bandfield et al.'s results indicate that water, in limited amounts, may have a large effect on the formation of the Martian surface, even in regions without obvious water-related features, such as stream valleys or evaporite minerals.

Saeb Erekat sometimes doesn't feel like lying (but does it anyway)
- By David KennerDavid Kenner is the Middle East editor for Foreign Policy.
- david.kenner
- @davidkenner
I have a feeling that this exchange, released in Al Jazeera's Palestine Papers, is going to be making the rounds in Ramallah for some time. "SE" is chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, and "YG" is Yossi Gal, then a deputy director general in Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
SE: How have you been?
YG: Not too bad, can't complain, how about you?
SE: I'm lying, I've been lying for the last weeks.
YG: Between jogging?
SE: No, no, lying, lying. I was in Cairo, I was in Jordan, I was in America. Everybody is asking me what is going on Israel, what is Olmert going to do?
YG: And you are telling everyone we are on the verge of success.
SE: And I always tell them this is an internal Israeli matter, a domestic Israeli matter and I keep lying. If somebody sneezes in Tel-Aviv, I get the flu in Jericho, and I have to lie. So that's my last week — all lies.
YG: As a professor of negotiations, you know that white lies are allowed now and then.
SE: I'm not complaining, I'm admitting — and sometimes I don't feel like lying.

ST. HELENS, Ore. -- A woman was found covered in blood on a St. Helens street and taken in by neighbors until police arrived early Saturday morning.
Witnesses who found the woman in the 500 block of North 10th Street called 911 just before 2 a.m., said police Chief Terry Moss.
When St. Helens police officers arrived, they were confronted by a man in the middle of the street, covered in blood, Moss said.
The man, identified later as 43-year-old Thomas Googins of Scappoose, was taken into custody.
Officers then found the victim seeking shelter in a nearby home, bleeding from what appeared to be defensive knife wounds to her neck and hands, Moss said.
The woman was taken by ambulance to a Portland hospital.
Googins was arrested and charged with attempted murder, assault, kidnapping and criminal mischief. He was jailed with bail set at $151,250.

Three Sisters Farm officially opening Saturday, October 13
Homestead's new "Agro-Tourism destination" debuting this month
The much anticipated Three Sisters Farm in Homestead, owned and operated by NYC chef transplant Jonathan Gambino, is finally about to open on Saturday, October 13. Serving only what they grow--tropical fruits, heirloom vegetables, sugar cane, scotch bonnet, yucca, Jamaican sorrel, onions, bay leaf, salt sourced straight from the Keys and more--the farm will take reservations every Friday and Saturday. A Farm Meal will include a multiple-course, family style dinner or lunch, farm tour and gift. Plans for the future include a steady Sunday brunch with sporadic brunches thrown in until then. Farm Meal is $85 and brunch will be $45. Student discounts give 25% off. The farm will be open to the public Friday and Saturday (with Sunday brunch TBD) October through May. It's BYOB and there's no cork fee. For reservation inquiries, email email@example.com or call 305-209-8335.
About the menu. According to Gambino, "There is no menu. Everything changes and will be changing like the season. The farm meal and tour will include a taste of everything growing at any particular time. Part of the excitement of nature is the continual rotation. When I was a chef in a restaurant, I never liked working around a menu because it gets stale and boring."
For a few hints, however, here's a list of the crops growing on Three Sisters Farm right about now:
bananas plantains yucca malanga yam sweet potato oaxacan green corn bokchoy pigeon peas jackfruit mulberry Carrots of many colors varieties: paris market danvers atomic purple scarlet nantes amarillo (yellow) heirloom tomatoes of many colors and varieties sungold cherokee purple green zebra brandywine yellow pear rosso siciliano federle san marzano black plum and many many more sugar cane scotch bonnets papayas starfruit chocolate pudding fruit mamey sapote sour orange keylime kale red cabbage amsterdam green cabbage snowball white and purple cauliflower de cicco broccoli detroit beets onions scallions ginger galangal ginger celery root lemon grass kolhrabi jaboticaba chinese cabbage cranberry hibiscus jamaican sorrel many types of lettuce calamondin jamaican cherry barbados cherry june plum avocado peaches mysore raspberry blackberry passion fruit edible flowers herbs and more herbs wild edibles and much more

This is obvious that yamaha better than all bikes on corner acceleration traction control electronics braking but just except top speed. This explains the situation now and we saw the same story on Cal Crutchlow, Chaz Davies, Luca Scassa and now Sam Lowes. The key point is that i think Luca Scassa won races with R6 easily on his first SSP year but now he don't have rhtym to catch Sam-Kenan. This explain how R6 is a perfect bike, for me.

Tomato Coulis - Condiments
Print version
Tomato Coulis
Most typically, the tomato coulis is spread out on a plate, beneath the fish, meats, or vegetables
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, juiced, and chopped
leaves from 1 thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
1. Place the olive oil in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat, add the garlic and shallots, and cook for 5 minutes. (Do not brown.)
2. Add the tomatoes, thyme, and bay leaf, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from heat, and discard the bay leaf. Allow sauce to cool for 5 minutes or so. Purée thoroughly in food processor. Place coulis in a fine strainer, and let excess liquid drip through. (What remains in the strainer is the coulis. If it is too thick, place it in a bowl and whisk enough of the drained liquid into it to reach the desired consistency.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Coulis is an old french word with changing meanings. A long time ago, it referred to meat juices rendered by the cooking process. Then, it became a general word for sauce. Later, it described liquid purées made from meats and vegetables. In the eighties, the word was re-invented again, when it became very trendy on french restaurant menus in france and in the United States; this time, however, it was used to denote any thick purée. Tomato coulis was perhaps the most frequently used coulis. It can be served warm or at room temperature as a lovely, light sauce for fish, meats, and vegetables. Most typically, the tomato coulis is spread out on a plate, beneath the fish, meats, or vegetables. Here's a delicious version. Makes about 1 1/2 cups

The Huntingtons Disease association
A little about Huntingtons
Huntington's has been described as the most disastrous disease known to man because of its peculiarly cruel characteristics. It progressively strips a person of control of his muscles, reason and emotions—though not necessarily in that order. It is caused by a mutation in a single gene, and if you have the mutation, you will develop the disease; the only unknown is when. Typically the first symptoms appear between the ages of 30 and 50, so many people pass the disease on before discovering they have it. The risk of inheriting it from an affected parent is one in two. The unlucky offspring therefore get to watch their sick parent head into a long, slow decline, knowing that the same fate awaits them. And there's no cure.
ON THE scale of nasty diseases – conditions you really, really don't want to get – Huntington's Disease is off the graph.
It's on a chart of its own: indeed, for an illness so traumatising for sufferers and those around them, nasty
doesn't really cover it.
It can be more properly described as evil.
What is it exactly? It used to be called Huntington's Chorea. Chorea was once a common medical reference to the shaking, uncontrollable movements of people with various motor neurone disorders (as was the term St Vitus Dance).
Such symptoms, though, are but a small part of Huntington's grim progress. It is a genetically inherited, incurable disorder of the brain. Children of carriers have a 50 per cent chance of developing it. It strikes in middle age and once the process has begun it is inexorable.
The brain shrinks. Sufferers lose motor co-ordination. They lose intellectual capacity. they lose memory and the power of speech.
Huntingtons is little known in the public domain and as such has less financial support than is obviously required to stand any chance of researching the real prospects of halting the devastating effects of this cruel disease
The Big Skin is hoping to both raise awareness and raise funds from within the Verbier Ski Community

Atlanta Lawyer Bruce Millar Says Safety Goals of New Rules on Truckers' Hours Will Depend on Compliance
The attorney from Millar & Mixon, LLC, says that new federal regulations limiting the hours that truck drivers can spend behind the wheel will make Georgia's roads safer – but only if the trucking industry takes the rules seriously.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 18, 2013
Bruce Millar, an Atlanta personal injury lawyer and traffic safety advocate, said today that he is "cautiously optimistic" about new federal rules that limit the number of hours that truck drivers can spend on the road each week.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) first proposed the rules in December 2011, with the goal of reducing the number of crashes caused by fatigued, sleep-deprived truckers.
Despite heavy opposition from the trucking industry, the rules are now being enforced by FMCSA officials, according to a July 3 Wall Street Journal article, "Truckers Are Losing Sleep Over 70-Hour Work Limit."
The regulations have cut truck drivers' weekly "hours-of-service" from a maximum of 82 hours to 70 hours and limit drivers' ability to "restart" their workweek by taking off 34 consecutive hours to one restart every seven days.
"As attorneys who feel strongly about promoting traffic safety, our law firm has supported the new hours-of-service rules, and we are cautiously optimistic that they will make our roads in Georgia and across the U.S. safer," Millar said.
"We're cautious because, based on our experience of representing victims of truck accidents in Georgia and other motor vehicle accidents, these crashes are usually caused because someone broke the rules," Millar continued.
"The new hours-of-service rules will only improve safety if members of the trucking industry comply with them – from the major trucking corporations to independent owner-operators."
According to the Wall Street Journal, federal regulators estimate that the new rules could prevent about 1,400 truck accidents, 560 injuries and 19 lives each year.
However, members of the trucking industry have pointed to a steady decline in tractor-trailer crashes without the shorter workweek rules in place and have warned that the rules will lead to traffic congestion during daylight hours and higher costs passed on to consumers, WSJ reports.
Millar said he is hopeful that the new rules will be taken seriously and won't lead to misconduct such as falsifying logbooks that document truckers' driving hours.
"Most members of the trucking industry are honest, hard-working people, but as experience shows, there will always be those who will push the rules, break the rules or ignore them altogether," Millar said.
"When those truckers and trucking companies cause harm to others, our law firm's mission is to stand by the victims' side and make sure their rights and interests are fully protected."

Baskin Robbins appeals to moms-to-be
Filed under: Just For Moms, Your Pregnancy, Activities: Babies, Places To Go, Nutrition: Health, In The News, Mealtime
Have plans for Wednesday, May 21st? Well, even if you do, if you happen to be pregnant, make sure you stop by Baskin Robbins. They're offering those expecting a new addition a taste of their own new addition--soft serve.
Now, you may say Baskin Robbins offering soft serve is pure ice cream blasphemy, but, if you're pregnant (and having a craving for ice cream, with or without the pickles) you can enjoy a free three ounce serving of the new soft serve from 11:00 AM until 10:00 PM. My advice? Locate the various Baskin Robbins stores around you and hit them all.
Unfortunately, the offer is limited to those lucky gals in California, Chicago, New York, Nashville and El Paso. if you don't happen to be located in one of those locations, you have two options:
1. Hop on the next train or plain and get yourself there to satisfy your desire for soft serve.
2. Consider that your OBGYN would probably say ice cream isn't good for you anyway.
I happen to be pregnant, located in New York, and a supreme lover of Baskin Robbins. So if you're looking for me on May 21st, you know where to find me.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Giraffy Girlie Definitely not what you would expect from a jersey. It's one thing to feminize it...I expected just a better fit...but they tried to make it fit more like a "t" or a sexy jersey. A jersey should still be a jersey. And just because we're women doesn't mean we don't expect accuracy...where's the 'A' on the front? Returning it and buying a men's jersey. May 1, 2014

Aster plants get their name from the Latin word for "star;" take one look at these cheerful flowers and it's no surprise why. For one, their shape is akin to that of a star or sunburst. They also come in eye-catching bright colors, such as white, pink, and a unique shade of purple. The majority of aster plants are known for blooming in fall and bringing their signature brightness to autumnal gardens. However, some asters bloom in spring or summer.

Asters are are easy to grow and tolerant of a slew of weather conditions. They prefer exposure to partial or full sunlight, and they like to dig their roots into soil that's loamy. Since they peak in summer or fall, it's important to note that they grow best in places where it's cool and moist at night. And, like most flowers, too little or too much water can prove to be detrimental to their healthy growth. Aster plants make ideal borders, rock-garden foliage, and butterfly bushes. Whether you buy aster plants that shoot up to eight feet tall or stay at a compact eight-inch height, you're making a colorful addition to your garden.

Succeeding on Facebook isn't an easy task. Your station posts are competing with every other post from every other page that your fan has liked, from baby pictures to other local news outlets.
Growing your show's social media presence can feel challenging at times, especially when you're just starting out. But many of the basics that help reporters and stations find their foothold can help shows too.
Hello! We're pleased to share with you the last set of webinars in our three-part series on building digital news capacity. The series are based on our 11-week Knight training for stations.
The first series laid the foundation for building digital capacity in your newsroom and for crafting stories that will resonate with and engage your audience. The second installment built on that foundation by exploring workflow, photography and aggregation. And now, the last in our three-part series addresses how to engage and connect with your audience.
Want to put social media and your community to work for you to find story ideas? Eric Athas and Teresa Gorman walk you through how to to utilize your social media community on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Reddit to find sources and story ideas for on-air and online.
Welcome to the social media part of our training! This page has everything you need to guide you through the next three weeks, so bookmark it, and email Teresa if you have any questions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The next three weeks will focus on the practical ways you can use social media for reporting, audience growth, story mining and content creation.
May 6-10
The first week of social media training focuses on making the most of your station's Facebook page. We also begin our Twitter contest, which you can learn more about here.
Best Practices for Marketing Your Station on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
This is NPR has a post about the secret sauce that makes a great call-in radio show, based on best practices at NPR's Talk of the Nation, WBUR's On Point, and NHPR's The Exchange. Among the ingredients:

To make the most of a station's Facebook and Twitter pages for news, take a step back and evaluate what's working and what's not.
The editorial team at Digital Services does assessments of stations' sites and social media before working with them for news training, but you don't need to wait for us to do an assessment.
In a recent webinar, we shared what to look at initially, and the deeper questions to ask to continue to build a community and audience on Facebook and Twitter. The video, slides and summary are below.
Yes, social media is great for sending out tweets and posting stories on Facebook. It can also be a valuable tool for staying on top of what's going on in your local area or within your beat. There's an ocean of story ideas, sources, news tips, photos, videos, firsthand breaking news accounts and local voices out there. A lot of it is untapped and below the "mainstream" radar.
Here are 5 tools you can use to go scoop them up.

Windows 8 Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Purchased a new laptop that we're gonna give to my son for X-mas. Yeah I know I'm actually planning ahead for a change. It's got Windows 8.
I never realized just how badly they could screw up windows. Windows 7 works just fine, and I'm not sure why they had to unimprove it.
I'm just glad that I won't have to use the damn thing every day. I'm sure that he'll be trilled, right up to the point where I take it away from him nightly to prevent him from doing stupid stuff (he's 13).
Thanks for allowing me to vent.
I purchased my wife a new laptop [HERE] this past April and she absolutely hated it initially.
Now that she knows how to use it, she loves it.
W8 takes a little playing around but once you get use to it, it really is pretty cool and works well.
I'm glad to hear that one can get used to W8, because the little bit that I've played with it I was having a very hard time.
It was like it acted and behaved like a very bad tablet, and I wasn't sure how to do much of anything. It's so much different than W7, which I've come to think of as a pretty good OS, and I've come to expect and understand most of it's quirks.
Most of what I'll be doing on W8, at least until I'm forced to buy a PC for myself that has it installed is check up on the kid, and make sure that he's not doing any stupid stuff. He's prone to doing stuff on the computer if he thinks that he can get away with it. If I'm able to go in and see what he's been doing, I'll feel that much better.
I'll most likely have to install some sort of spy program that at the least tracks where he's been and what he's been doing. He's smart enough to make an attempt to cover his tracks, though fortunately so far he hasn't figured out most of what he needs to do to be successful.
We're right there with ya. Its been a real pain trying to navigate W8. I hope that we figure it out because its alot of frustration around here right now while using tha laptop.
a kid showed me how to set a spy thingy up
if they know how to do that, they can figure out your password & get around anything that you set up
i kept mine simple, my Password is just that
password, all in lower case
they will go bananas trying to figure it out :)
I switched to a chromebook and a cloud printer. Now when I open it up, it's ready to go, everytime, no waiting, no bloatware, nothing to install, it updates itself. Unless you need to install and use other software for specific purposes, a browser is all you need. It does have some download storage for usb drive manipulation of files, mp3s, pdfs, pics. It has wasted so much less of my time than windows ever has. At this point (after 2 months), I don't intend to go back.
Just note that if you don't get a cloud-ready printer, you will need your old computer logged in to link your printer to the cloud so you can print from your chromebook.
Windows 8
First thing i did after finding the Power button, was get rid of BING
Google beats the heck out of Bing, which is 2nd worse only to Yelp
I use to use a great search engine, it had 37 different search engines on one site

Inside Indiewood
The other striking metaphor for female filmmakers appears in
The Blair Witch Project
, where the director is a woman, and she's not only killed, she's humiliated, the arrogant know-it-all who got them into it.
Right. It's almost like they got killed for supporting her vision. You followed this crazy person.
How do you size up the revolution to come in digital production and distribution?
You know what? Certainly the digital thing makes the means of production accessible to everybody, which is interesting, but it doesn't solve the filmmaker's problem of what's the script, what's the story and what are you going to do. The same thing happened thirty years ago with 16 millimeter and Cassavetes starting to make films. We've seen it before. I still like 35-millimeter film in theaters. It's the only thing I think about.
So, is it the best of times or the worst of times?
I hate the idea that it's become easier for anybody with a first-time success to now parlay that into additional films. If the wrong people get those opportunities and keep churning out what's obviously a glut of films right now, that begins to clog the arteries for first-time talent trying to come in the traditional way, making a movie that goes to a festival and gets released in a theater.
By the same token, in this twenty-year cycle that we've had, I think a lot of ground has been covered, so it's increasingly hard for those people to be truly original. And now marketing is king. Anything that can begin to succeed will succeed at a far higher level than ever, and that's because audiences--even the smart audiences--enjoy being marketed to, and so they flock to the one film instead of spreading out the vote among dozens.
When I first started making movies, if a film like Poison did $1 million worth of box office, that was seen as great success. Everybody got a little bit of money in their pockets. Then the bar rose. Some people haveblamed Pulp Fiction. I don't know if that was it, but there was a feeding frenzy about these movies, suddenly a sense that they could potentially make real money. Safe was the kind of movie that should have sat in a theater and become the movie that peopletalked about at cocktail parties, but it didn't have time.It came out just as that was all shifting, where if you didn't deliver the numbers in the first week or two, you wereout. The kind of movies I was making, which could be targeted to the gay audience and not lose money because of their budgets and the low cost of distributing them, all that has gone out the window now. To do a genuine theatrical release for a film is much more expensive than it used to be. I think the p&a [prints and ads] budget on Poison in 1990 was something like $80,000. On Velvet Goldmine in 1998, it must have been somewhere between $5 million and $10 million.
So it's becoming a first-weekend business, just like with studio films?
Exactly. And on Boys Don't Cry, we were huddled by our phones that whole weekend. Are they buying tickets? Are they going? Because I knew my movie's fate rested on that.
The key to me is that indies still think they are fighting studios, and clearly they're fighting each other. I counted 175 indie releases in New York last year, or 180. Over 175. You can't even remember 100 of them.
Another way of asking this question is, If
came along today, could it break through the way it did in 1994 at Sundance?
If we'd made Clerks today, I doubt it would have gotten into Sundance--Well, maybe. It wouldn't have gotten into competition, that's for sure. And Miramax would not have touched it with a ten-foot pole. Too small. Far beneath them. We were the last in a long line of small American independent films that they really pushed, that they made their name on.
So, it's the worst of times?
Not necessarily. A big plus now is that very talented people like Kevin Smith and David Russell can step inside the system but leave the door open so they can step back out. And filmmakers who made their names on first features can actually have sustained, ongoing filmmaking careers.

» Navistar International Corporation F4Q09 (Qtr End 10/31/09) Earnings Call Transcript
Ladies and gentlemen thank you for standing by. Welcome to the GenCorp 2008 first quarter earnings conference call. At the request of Ms. Linda Cutler all participants are in a listen only mode. (Operator Instructions) As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I'd now like to turn the conference over to your host Ms. Linda Cutler. Please go ahead.
Linda Cutler
Good morning everyone and welcome to GenCorp's first quarter 2008 conference call. Before we start I'd like to remind you that during this conference call GenCorp's management team may make forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements in this conference call and in subsequent discussions other than historical information are forward-looking statements. These statements represent management's current judgment on expectations for future operations. We encourage you to review the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements and the factors contained in the earnings release issued today as well as management's discussion and analysis and elsewhere in our most recent Form 10K and other filings with the SEC. These statements and factors could cause business conditions and actual results to differ materially from those expected by the company or expressed in our forward-looking statements.
Now, I'd like to turn the call over to Scott Neish.
J. Scott Neish
Good morning. It's my pleasure to join you this morning to share our results for the first quarter of this year. Here with me this morning is Yasmin Seyal, our Chief Financial Officer. As most of you know Terry Hall resigned as GenCorp's CEO in early March and I've been asked by the board to assume the position of interim CEO while a search is undertaken for Terry's replacement. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Terry for his many contributions to the business and we wish him well in his future endeavors. And, I want you to know that we are continuing our efforts to maintain and accelerate the progress that our company has made in the last several years and increase the value to our shareholders.
To that end I'm pleased to report that the first quarter was marked by a number of successes. Aerojet's revenues remained strong and Real Estate completed a key milestone towards realizing the value of the Rio del Oro portion of our real estate plans. At Aerojet we were able to replace sharply declining sales from the Titan program now nearing completion; revenue increases on the NASA Orion program as our scope on that program increases and the program ramps up into full scale development. Additionally, strong performance on the Atlas-5 contract helped to partially offset the absence of Titan profits that we enjoyed in the first quarter of 2007. On the defense side of our business, we benefitted from higher sales volume on a number of programs including TOW and standard missile and new work in production contracts in our specialty metals product division in Tennessee. Real Estate segment received notification from the California Department of Toxic Substances Control that they had released from environmental order 2,300 acres designated as Rio del Oro clearing an important hurdle to our monetizing a significant portion of the land in the planned Easton Development.
Now, I'm going to turn this over to Yasmin Seyal to share with you our financial highlights for the quarter.
Yasmin R. Seyal
Good morning to everyone. My comments this morning will focus on the financial results of our continuing operations, Aerojet and Real Estate. I will comment on the company's first quarter sales, income, cash flows and net debt results and also on the financial implications associated with the recent restated shareholder agreement the company entered into with Steel Partners.
Today, the company reported income from continuing operations of $3.3 million or $0.06 per share for the first quarter compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.1 million or $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2007. The improvement reflects decreased retirement benefit plan expenses and lower costs associated with our environmental cleanup and related activities partially offset by the favorable performance recognized last year on the Titan closeout effort.
Let me comment first on sales which for the first quarter of 2008 were $177 million compared to $150 million in 2007 reflecting a year-over-year increase but, the first quarter of 2008 does include an extra week as compared to 2007 as we noted in the release that we issued this morning. However, we did have some growth most notably on standard missiles, TOW and our Orion program as Scott commented on a few minutes ago. This was offset by a decrease in the Titan program as we completed the closeout activities of this program last year. As I noted on the January call, our goal in 2008 is to replace the Titan business which in 2007 accounted for approximately $30 million of sales and we intend to replace this business with the missile defense program and the continued development of our Orion related effort. From a sales standpoint we are encouraged with the good start to the year.

I opened up the NY Times homepage yesterday to find this headline: On Witness Stand, Norwegian Says He Would Kill Again [6]. Remember this guy? The Times says authorities have described Anders Behring Breivik as a "fundamentalist Christian…obsessed with what he saw as the threat of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration to the cultural and patriotic values of his country."
He killed 77 people, including 68 teenagers, in Norway last summer.
Although Breivik admits to the murders, he doesn't believe he should be held criminally accountable—he believes his actions were preventive measures, or, "self-defense."
The question for the courts is not so much whether what Breivik thinks he did is right, but whether or not he is sane. An insanity ruling would land Breivik in an institution, possibly for the rest of his life. A sane ruling would carry a maximum sentence of 21 years under Norwegian law (with the possibility to extend if Breivik is still considered a threat to society at the end of his term).
I hate to admit it, but at times like these I have to think twice about why I oppose the death penalty. Breivik maintains that he acted in sound mind and looks forward to using his trial as a platform for his beliefs.
After I finished the article, I shifted my view to the headline below it: Britain Arrests Muslim Cleric, Again Seeking Deportation [8]. This story told of ongoing British attempts to extradite a Muslim extremist with proven connections to Al Qaeda in Europe and involvement in violent terrorist schemes elsewhere abroad—a move which presents some human rights concerns and will set precedent for more such deportations in the future.
So here's the thing that gets me about these two, seemingly unrelated, events. The world has condemned Breivik for his atrocious acts of violence, and rightfully so. He used the cause of combatting Muslim immigration in Europe to justify the murder of an entire generation of young labor activists in Norway, an event that will continue to rock the nation for decades.
But when we look closely at our media in the west, at the social and political climate of our times, we have to acknowledge that we are actors in a society wrought with the same kind of fear and distrust for Muslims that led Breivik to commit his crime.
Should Britain deport a man with clear links to terrorist organizations? Maybe. But that's not the point. When we read stories like these in the paper each day—the foiling of Muslim terrorist plots, the arrests, detention, trials, and deportation of supposed Islamic extremists—we can't help but develop our own fearful distance. And sometimes, fearful distance can escalate to bloody tragedies.
What if, instead of playing on our weaker human emotions of fear and distrust, the media also told stories of the Muslims in this country and in the West who are championing efforts for peace, justice, and reconciliation?
Why don't we read about the inspiring work of the Interfaith Youth Core [9], founded by Eboo Patel [10], a Muslim with a vision for deeper understanding among people of different faith traditions?
As Christians, we should shame Breivik's actions. But we must also do more. As long as a culture of anti-Muslim fear exists in our society, the possibility of hate and violence will be lurking in its shadows.
Christians should be at the forefront of building bridges with our Muslim brothers and sisters in this country and around the world.

NJ to let casinos accept bets on fantasy teams

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Peyton Manning's touchdown passes, Adrian Peterson's first downs and Darrelle Revis' interceptions could combine to make someone rich this fall.
New Jersey is allowing casinos in Atlantic City to offer fantasy sports betting in a pilot program that will be announced Monday.
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement has told casinos it will allow them to accept entry fees from gamblers and pay out winnings from the casino cash cages.
Regulations will be spelled out Monday, but an online gambling association says it expects that players will be allowed to draft a pool of athletes, follow their performances and compete against other fantasy teams. Those with the best statistical totals will win cash.
"This gives players the option to deposit money and then play daily fantasy games, where they pick three or five Major League Baseball or National Football League or National Basketball Association players and build an aggregate roster just for that one day," said Joe Brennan, president of the Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, an online gambling trade association. "Just like those leagues where you pick teams and follow them all season, you won't have to wait till the end of the year to see who wins. You would just wait till the end of the day to see who wins the prize."
The casinos could offer the games themselves or partner with other companies, and the industry welcomed the move.
"This is another great addition for the Atlantic City gaming market," said Tony Rodio, president of the Casino Association Of New Jersey.
It remains to be seen whether the fantasy bets could be made online or would have to be made in person at the casinos. Several websites already offer such betting, including fanduel.com and draftday.com.
Nevada already offers fantasy sports betting, but Brennan said he considers the demand there to be smaller because patrons also have the option of betting on individual sports games at the Nevada casinos.
He could not offer an opinion as to whether fantasy sports betting would decline in popularity if New Jersey prevails in its court battle with the federal government and the four major professional sports leagues over whether it can legally offer sports betting. Only four states met a 1991 deadline to approve sports betting; New Jersey was not one of them.
The regulations will be published in the New Jersey Register on April 15 and become effective April 22. That means they will come too late for the surge of interest in fantasy pools for the NCAA basketball tournament, but it would be in plenty of time for baseball in the spring, and football in the fall.
Participation would be voluntary among the casinos.

Skip to comments.Shroud of Turin: Image provokes prayer, curiosity, scholarly disputes
Posted on 02/06/2010 4:12:33 AM PST by NYer
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Shroud of Turin, which many Christians believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus, goes on public display this spring, at a time when experts are debating new claims about the 14-foot-long piece of linen.
Pope Benedict XVI has already made plans to view the shroud during a one-day trip to the northern Italian city of Turin in early May. Many observers are wondering how the pope will refer to the cloth: as a sign, an icon or -- as Pope John Paul II once characterized it -- a relic.
The shroud's last showing was 10 years ago, when more than a million people lined up to see it in the cathedral of Turin in northern Italy. Officials are predicting similar crowds for the exposition April 10-May 23, and visitors are being urged to book their visits online at http://www.sindone.org.
The pilgrims come to witness with their own eyes what they may have read about or glimpsed on TV. Most go away impressed with what they see: a faint image of a bearded man who appears to have been whipped, crowned with thorns and crucified.
Carbon-14 tests in 1988 dated the cloth to the Middle Ages, and seemed to confirm the theory that the shroud was a pious fraud. But since then, some experts have faulted the methodology of the testing, and said the tiny samples used may have been taken from areas of the cloth that were mended in medieval times.
The shroud has also been chemically analyzed, electronically enhanced and computer-imaged. So far, no one has been able to fully explain how the image was transferred to the linen cloth, although experts have put forward theories ranging from enzyme reaction to solar imaging.
The shroud has been studied from virtually every scientific angle in recent years. Its weave has been examined, pollen grains embedded in the cloth have been inspected, and red stains have been analyzed for hemoglobin properties. One particular sub-category of debate focuses on enhanced images that, in the opinion of some scientists, reveal the impression of 1st-century Palestinian coins placed on the eyes of the shroud's figure.
The "jury" on the shroud includes hundreds of experts, some of them self-appointed. They do not split neatly into believers and skeptics, however. The latest controversy, in fact, involves a Vatican archivist who claims to have found evidence of writing on the shroud -- a hypothesis that has drawn sharp criticism from other Catholic scholars.
The archivist, Barbara Frale, said in a new book that older photographs of the shroud reveal indications of what was essentially a written death notice for a "Jesus Nazarene." The text, she said, employs three languages used in 1st-century Jerusalem.
The book immediately prompted a Web site war in Italy. Several sites dedicated to the shroud ridiculed Frale's hypothesis, saying it bordered on Dan Brown-style fantasy. Vatican Radio, however, featured an interview with Frale about her "important discovery." No doubt the world will hear more about this scholarly spat when the shroud goes on display.
It will be the first public showing of the shroud since it underwent a restoration in 2002, which removed repair patches and a large piece of linen of a later date. To prepare for the exhibit, the Archdiocese of Turin has taken the unusual step of closing the cathedral for three months. It will take that long to set up the viewing area and the informational exhibit for visitors as they wait in line.
Pope Benedict's arrival is a big event for organizers of this year's shroud exposition. Many Catholics look to Rome for direction on how to evaluate the shroud, as Pope John Paul II discovered en route to Africa in 1989, when he called the shroud a "relic." When excited reporters asked whether this meant it was the authentic burial cloth of Christ, the Polish pope conferred with an aide before answering more cautiously: "The church has never pronounced itself in this sense. It has always left the question open to all those who want to seek its authenticity. I think it is a relic."
Clearly, Pope John Paul was personally convinced, although when he went to see the shroud in 1998 he carefully avoided using the term "relic."
Pope Benedict has long been cautious about the value of private signs, apparitions and revelations. But he seems to consider the Shroud of Turin in a different category.
In his book, "The Spirit of the Liturgy," then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger wrote that the shroud was "a truly mysterious image, which no human artistry was capable of producing."
In his meditations on the Good Friday Way of the Cross in Rome shortly before his election as pope in 2005, he wrote regarding the 11th station, "Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross": "The Shroud of Turin allows us to have an idea of the incredible cruelty of this procedure."
The pope then offered a kind of prayer inspired by the figure of the shroud: "Let us halt before this image of pain, before the suffering Son of God. Let us look upon him at times of presumptuousness and pleasure, in order to learn to respect limits and to see the superficiality of all merely material goods. Let us look upon him at times of trial and tribulation, and realize that it is then that we are closest to God."
Catholic ping!
Of possible interest to your list.
No. The announcement about this year's display, was made about 6 months ago.
Based on the shroud image.
I doubt the authenticity of The Shroud of Turin. In both the Luke and John it indicates there was more than one cloth covering the body of Christ. Also, John writes that a "handkerchief" covered Christ's head. This will be debated until Christ returns and all knowledge will be revealed.
That would be the Sudarium. It is in Oviedo Spain and the blood pattern and type match up with the Shroud.
I like many have followed the shroud debate for years. After looking at this from a logical point of view it was finally the fact that the shroud is in 2D, like in a photograph or TV. The shroud does not pass the 3D test at all, so it is impossible for it to be a real death shroud.
The theory that it was created by Da Vinci holds the most water for me. He was at the place and time it first showed up, and he had the tools, skills & a financial sponsor who oddly enough was the first family to "find" the shroud.
Sorry, it's just a great piece of art. IMHO.
Thanks for that information and the link to the article. Another fascinating twist to this mystery.
The Peculiar 3D Phenomenon of the Shroud of Turin Image
For simplicity, let's confine our discussion to black and white pictures. The Shroud, after all, is monochromatic: brown and white actually.
Like any painting or photograph of a face or an entire human body (or for that matter a vase, apple or any three dimensional object) brightness represents light. Look at a full frontal picture of a man. The tip of his nose approaches white and the depth of the recesses of his eyes are darker. The roundness of his face from his cheeks towards his ears is progressively darker. At first glance, the face on the Shroud of Turin appears to be such a picture. It isn't.
How do we know this? All regular pictures, be they paintings or photographs, represent light coming from some direction and being reflected towards our eyes. The eye of the painter or the camera lens is a proxy for our own eyes. The reason the recesses of a man's eyes are darker than the tip of his nose is because less light gets to into the recess. Image analysis shows us that this is not so with the facial image on the Shroud. There is no direction to what seems like light. Something else is causing the lighter and darker shades. That is looks like light to us is an optical illusion.
Look at the black and white picture that looks like a smoke ring. We might think that this is light reflected off of the smoke. It is not. This is an analog data file of elevation, sometimes called a bump map in the world of computer graphics. With special computer software we can plot the data, the brighter and darker tones, as an elevation. That is exactly what we can do with the image on the Shroud of Turin: plot it as an elevation.
Let's be clear: You can not plot a regular photograph this way. Nor can you do so for a painting, even a brown and white painting. You can do so with a precise copy of the Shroud, however.
Not only does this show that the image on the Shroud is not a photograph or painting, it shows that something extraordinary occurred to form the image.
The theory that it was created by Da Vinci holds the most water for me.
He painted a 3D image?
He painted a 3D image?
No one really knows how he did it but the best guess is an early form of photography. Being that it was made to fool people in the first place there are no records of its creation. Fake religious icons were big money makers for local churches.
As to 3D you must consider the simple fact that if the shroud was placed on a body that the entire image would be "three times wider" as you must account for the space present on the SIDES of the body. The image on the shroud is simply far, far too skinny.
Also look at the full image of the shroud and look at the space between the face and the back of the head. Now mentally wrap it around a human head. If this was a real shroud then Jeasus would be about one inch thick from front to back.
So you are saying DaVinci invented photography? This has already been disproven.

Two years ago I was in northern Italy on business and my host took us to Turin on a Sat evening for dinner. I was quite shocked at how large the city was, esp the downtown area. The church that holds the shroud is in the downtown area and was well lit during that evening. As we walked by the church, I had an amazing feeling rush over me - I'll never forget it!
Describe your feeling for us. Freep mail me if you prefer.
I know. Looks just like him.
Because Da Vinci was well-known to use 12-foot paintbrushes to create his paintings, as well as embed 3D data, and include pollen samples of flora unique to the specific locale the painting was to emulate.
Da Vinci was truly a genius...
Very similar to the feeling my wife (28 at the time) and I received while holding hands early one morning just a few months before she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. She died 9 months later and I look back at that event as preparing us for the upcoming hardship.
Hard to explain but hopefully y'all get the jest.
As an aside, after the 1988 testing, it was shown the tested material was a part of the "repaired" section. Later, using a small remaining "clean" piece it was carbon tested to be from the period of Christ. The fact this was done by a non-believer makes it even more substantial.
So I believe it is truly the shroud that covered Christ when he was resurrected but my faith in Him goes way deeper.
That is truly amazing!
Many were crucified but how many wore a crown of thorns?
Believing the shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ does not impact one's faith.
I said that the Shroud being authentic or not would not affect my faith but you didn't choose to highlight that part of my reply.
Wow. Lets scan it and throw it up on facebook.
I'm convinced it looks just like him. Everyone will want to add him to their friends list. Wow.

Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch is taking pen in hand again to write his fourth book. This time Welch will be writing about the period between 2005 and 2013 when he was out of Korn, getting sober, exploring his spirituality, raising his daughter as a single parent and recording a solo album (2008's "Save Me From Myself") and an EP and album with his other band, Love and Death. No title or publication date have been announced yet. Welch published his first book -- "Save Me From Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story" -- in 2008, following it with a young adult-oriented version of the book called "Washed By Blood: Lessons From My Time With Korn and My Journey to Christ" and, in 2010, "Stronger: Forty Days of Metal and Spirituality." Welch rejoined Korn in 2013 for the group's latest album, "The Paradigm Shift." Korn will perform at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards on April 23 in Los Angeles and at a pair of Florida festivals Fort Rock and Welcome to Rockville -- before starting a European tour on May 2 in London. The group returns to co-headline the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, which kicks off July 5 in Devore, Calif.

England's Jaguar brand is noted for building cars offering a combination of grace, space and pace.
And indeed, when it comes to combining luxury features with high performance and graceful styling, Jaguar has few peers.
While there have been a number of attractive new Jaguar cars over the years, the first truly iconic Jaguar model was the company's 1948 XK-120 sports car. Capable of an honest 120 miles per hour, the car lived up to its nomenclature. An instant success, the Jaguar also flaunted some of the most seductively curvaceous bodywork ever seen up to that point.
Interestingly, the engine employed for the XK-120 was so advanced it formed the basis of every Jaguar engine until 1992—including the one installed in what many observers have called the most beautiful car the world has ever known, the Jaguar E-type (also known as the Jaguar XX-E). In fact, an example of the Jaguar E-type is one of only three cars displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Today, Jaguar offers a collection of sedans, coupes, convertibles, and a roadster. Exceptionally attractive cars all, they comprise a collection of some of the most desirable models on the road. Autobytel's Jaguar reviews deliver insights into their styling, engines, interior treatments, and safety equipment. To ensure you the capability of making informed purchase decisions, our panel of trusted professional automotive reviewers has thoroughly tested each new model in order to offer our honest evaluation in these Jaguar reviews so you can see how they compare to other cars in their categories.

Attacks including a spate of suicide bombings killed 27 soldiers and policemen today as they voted in Iraq's first election since US troops withdrew.
The bombings in Baghdad and the north and west raise serious concerns about the security forces' ability to protect people during Wednesday's general election, when more than 20 million Iraqis are eligible to vote.
They come amid a protracted surge in violence and fears the country is edging towards all-out conflict.
Seven attackers wearing suicide belts hit polling stations in Baghdad and cities north of the capital, while roadside bombs struck military convoys and targeted journalists covering the polling.
At one voting centre in western Baghdad where a suicide bomber killed seven policemen, ambulances ferried off the wounded as soldiers cordoned off the street and ushered passers-by away, an AFP journalist said.
Five members of the security forces were killed by another suicide bomber at a polling station in the city's north.
Attacks elsewhere killed 15 members of the security forces, officials said.
In the main northern city of Mosul, six Iraqi journalists were wounded as a bomb exploded while they were in a military vehicle to cover the vote.
The blasts shattered an early morning calm as soldiers and policemen queued outside polling stations amid tight security, before leaving with the traditional purple ink-stained finger indicating they had voted.
No group claimed responsibility for the bloodshed, but Sunni militant groups are typically blamed for suicide bombings and for trying to derail the political process.
Govt officials did not publicly comment on the attacks.
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, lambasted by critics for allegedly consolidating power and targeting minority groups amid worsening security, is seeking a third term with Iraqis frustrated over poor basic services, rampant corruption and high unemployment.
The month-long campaign has seen Baghdad and other cities plastered with posters and decked out in bunting, as candidates have taken to the streets, staged loud rallies and challenged each other in angry debates.

Jenn recommended Chip of the Flying U, by B.M. Bower, about a year ago, and that's probably how long it's been sitting on my Kindle. I don't know why I picked it up this weekend, except that the internet in my apartment wasn't working and I wasn't feeling enthusiastic about anything I was more familiar with, but I'm glad I did. It's almost entirely delightful, one of those books that does enough right that you don't care that much about the stuff it doesn't. And if you have to be content with a kind of ham-fisted ending, well, everything before that is so much fun that the book has kind of earned the right to fall apart in the last chapter.
The Flying U is a Montana ranch owned by James G. Whitmore, and Chip is a sensitive, artistic cow-puncher. Don't laugh; it's awesome. He's got a square chin and long eyelashes and a horse he loves a lot, and it's kind of over the top, but in a cute way. Della Whitmore is cute, too. She's the younger sister of James G., paying an extended visit after graduation from medical school, and she's got grey eyes and dimples to go with Chip's chin and eyelashes.
She makes a positive first impression when she shoots a coyote with Chip's rifle on the way back from the train station, the day of her arrival. The rest of the book is about him being in denial about being in love with her, basically. There's no reason he should deny it, except that Della writes frequently to a Dr. Cecil Granthum. So Chip mopes, and "the Little Doctor" flirts with him and displays a fair amount of unreasonable behavior. I worry this is meant to make her seem more feminine. But more importantly, she's good at her job, and he's good at his, and there's humor and artistic triumphs and a tiny bit of adventure besides. It's a funny book and a sweet one, and while I found Della inconsistent, and Chip almost unrecognizable in the final scene, it his enough of the right buttons at the right times that I smiled my way through the entire book.
Tagged: 1900s, bmbower, montana, romance, western
I Lurved this one, too! Loved Chip and loved that Della is both feminine and accomplished. I noticed that silly female behavior, but sometimes brilliant ladies play the role.
You should try "Jean of the Lazy A" by the same author. It's got another strong woman character. The male lead is subdued. This is all Jean's story. It's also a fascinating inside look at the early Western Silent Movies. I think the author was patterning the Perils of Pauline, and I so enjoyed it.
I have it! I will read it-eventually. Living in the west seems to predispose me toward avoiding western novels.
The Ranch at the Wolverine – definitely the one I enjoy the most! It's got all the good points of Chip, and none of the bad ones :-)
Bower is my favorite Western author, and this one (her first novel and the first I read) is still one of my favorites. You'll find her books come in different flavors—i.e. some are more dramatic and others more humorous; while there's always a love interest, the romance isn't always the main focus of the story. For another early one that's also mainly a romance, Her Prairie Knight is a favorite of mine.
Della is awesome–the thing with the kids at the party is SO GREAT–but I felt like the silliness wasn't organic to her character, which was why it bothered me. I think Jean of the Lazy A was the other one Jenn recommended, so it's next on the list. I love books from this era with stuff about silent movies.
Fair enough. Bower has Chip make fun of some western stereotypes at one point, but she relies on just as many others.
That's quite a recommendation! I'll have to check it out.
First novels are often the best ones, especially if an author sticks with a formula. But Bower definitely seems like an author I'll be coming back to when I want something light and fun.
Hurray! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
I hope you read Jean of the Lazy A and The Ranch at the Wolverine next. There was also one called Rim O' The World that I think you would like the premise of: in the first chapter a wild young Western man impulsively marries a girl who has randomly hopped off the train in his town because it's called Jumpoff and she's fed up with life. Then they settle into marriage at his remote ranch and proceed to alienate all the neighbours with their selfishness and insularity.
My sister raved about the Chip and the Jean books as soon as she read them so now I will definitely read them, but I think I'll start with Rim O' The World!
