What you need to know:
Only four starters are returning, with four starters gone off
the line and the receivers, including star Austin Collie, have
to be replaced, but the attack should be explosive once again
with QB Max Hall appearing to be ready for a special season. He
makes everyone around him better, and the receiving corps should
step up and shine with O'Neill Chambers and McKay Jacobson good
ones to get excited about. Tight end Dennis Pitta is a special
pass-catching tight end, while Andrew George is hardly a No. 2
with great hands and nice route-running ability. Two-time,
1,000-yard rusher Harvey Unga will handle the ground game
working behind a massive, line that should be strong with a
little bit of time. Matt Reynolds is one of the nation's best
left tackles and should keep Hall clean.

New Line Starters
Projected Starter:
Senior Max Hall has been
good, he has put up big numbers, and he has been a fringe
All-America candidate after throwing for 7,805 yards and 61
touchdowns with 26 interceptions and five rushing scores since
coming over from Arizona State. He completed 69% of his passes
for 3,957 yards and 35 touchdowns with 14 picks last season,
with four rushing scores, but for all the big statistics and all
the big performances, the 6-1, 201-pounder has to show once
again that he can win the big game. He came through in the
clutch against Utah two years ago, pulling a clunker of a game
out of the fire, but he melted down against the Utes last year
throwing five interceptions, and he couldn't handle the pass
rush against TCU and struggled. The mediocre performance in the
Las Vegas Bowl loss to Arizona didn't help (even though he threw
for 328 yards). If he's on and if he can lead the team to a
conference title, he'll be the front-runner for the Mountain
West Player of the Year honor.
Projected Top Reserves: 6-4, 213-pound senior
Brenden Gaskins is a big, strong passer with good mobility,
but he only saw a little time last year completing 7-of-12
passes for 73 yards, and he'll only see time in blowouts or if
something happens to Hall. It's been a long career already as he
initially wanted to go to BYU, but went to Nevada after former
UCLA Bruin, Ben Olson, had committed to the Cougars. He went the
JUCO route to get back to Provo, with a two-year stop in Uruguay
for a church mission along the way. While he has the tools, he's
clearly a backup.
Sophomore Riley Nelson got plenty of work as a
freshman at Utah State throwing for 925 yards and six scores,
and rushing for 290 more, but he decided to transfer, went on an
LDS mission to Spain, and now comes into Provo with a shot at
being the main man in the near future. He's only 6-1 and 195
pounds, but the 2005 Mr. Football in Utah is the most mobile of
the Cougar quarterbacks and has a nice prep résumé throwing for
a state record 79 touchdowns and 4,041 passing yards.
Watch Out For ... Nelson to get some meaningful
playing time. The coaching staff needs to know if he's the one
to build around for next year, or if quarterback is going to be
a major issue after Hall and Gaskins are gone.
Strength: Hall. He's going to light up mediocre defenses
like a Christmas tree. Razor sharp throughout the offseason, he
appears to be ready to put the up-and-down 2008 season behind
him and be a major star. It'll be a shock if he doesn't throw
for 4,000 yards.
Weakness: Backup experience. Nelson has a year of playing time
at Utah State, but he has been off for a few years. Gaskins has
the tools, but there's a big drop-off from Hall to the backups.
Outlook: Hall is a good player who has a ton of
experience and is in a great system. The numbers will be there
and he'll be a lock for all-star honors as long as he stays
healthy, but it'll all come down to the big games. If he's able
to light up Oklahoma in the season opener, he and BYU will be on
the national map for the rest of the year. If he has problems,
he'll be a great Mountain West player, but will be out of the
All-America discussion. The backups are fine, but they need more
Rating: 8.5
Running Backs
Projected Starters:
Junior Harvey Unga was
tremendous as a freshman, rushing for 1,227 yards and 13
touchdowns, while catching 44 passes, and he proved it wasn't a
fluke by rushing for 1,132 yards and 11 touchdowns, while
catching 42 passes for 309 yards and four scores last year. Even
with all his production, he didn't have quite the same burst and
he wasn't the same dangerous playmaker. He ran for 100 yards or
more seven times two years ago, but he went over the century
mark just three times last year. This offseason he appeared to
be back to form and he should be in for another great all-around
season again with his 6-0, 239-pound frame able to bring the
power to go along with his quickness.
Gone if Fui Vakapuna after finishing second on the team in
rushing and doing a decent job of blocking. Sophomore
Brian Kariya isn't necessarily a fullback, but he'll be
used as one with a 6-0 and 212 pound body that's able to bring
some pop. He'll get shoved aside if Manase Tonga is back, but he
appears ready to take on a bigger role after rushing for 67
yards and a score and catching four passes for 21 yards.
Projected Top Reserves:
Is Manase
Tonga going to be able to come back? He was going to be
a big part of the attack as both a fullback and as a runner, but
the 6-0, 238-pounder didn't get to class and was academically
ineligible. He's trying to get back in the mix, taking courses
at Utah Valley University to get his grades up, but the team
isn't counting on him. He ran for 305 yards and caught 27 passes
for 248 yards last year.
5-9, 198-pound sophomore J.J. DiLuigi missed
all of the 2007 season with a foot injury and came back to be a
little used backup running for 48 yards and catching two passes.
He was a top recruit who could've gone almost anywhere on the
West Coast, and now he needs to do more for the offense. Willing
to do whatever is needed, he'll work behind Unga as a quick
tailback who can do a little bit of everything.
While Malosi Te'o needs time and work after
coming off a Church mission, but he should be a good part of the
rotation as a backup in both running back spots. Speedy enough
to carry the ball for stretches, and tough enough to be used as
a fullback from time to time, the 5-10, 199-pound freshman will
see plenty of work.
Watch Out For ... Kariya. The team needs a
fullback to count on if Tonga isn't back and in everyone's good
graces, and Kariya appears to be ready. He's not going to
flatten anyone, but he can block.
Strength: Unga. The Cougar offense will revolve around
Max Hall and the passing game, but Unga is a strong do-it-all
back who handles the rushing portion of the offense. He's a
1,000-yard back who can carry the attack from time to time, but
he doesn't have to be the main man every game.
Weakness: A home run hitter. This has been a problem for
the last few years. BYU averaged a paltry 3.9 yards per carry
two years ago and 4.1 yards per carry last year with the longest
run, 40 yards, coming from Unga. This is a serviceable running
game, but not a scary one.
Outlook: No pressure, but if Unga gets hurt, the
ground game goes kaput. As long as he's in the lineup, the
Cougar running game will get nice production when it needs it
and should get enough production from the other runners to get
by. This will be an effective ground game that will do what it
has to in an attempt to balance things out.
Rating: 6.5
Projected Starters: Looking
to become the team's No. 1 target is McKay Jacobson,
a 5-11, 192-pound sophomore with excellent speed and decent
experience making 28 grabs for 547 yards and three touchdowns in
a breakout freshman year. That was 2006, and then he went on a
Church mission for two years before coming back to fill in a
major hole. Not able to do much this offseason with a hamstring
injury, he's expected to be fine by the start of the season, he
wasn't in bad shape at the end of spring ball. Along with being
a home run hitting receiver, he should be a key punt returner.
Sophomore O'Neill Chambers took over a starting
spot after coming up with three catches for 42 yards and a score
last year. At 6-2 and 209 pounds he's a big, physical receiver
with fly-paper for hands. He doesn't miss a catch and has the
big-play capability to stretch the field on the outside.
Senior Dennis Pitta followed up a 59-catch
season by making 83 catches for 1,083 yards and six touchdowns,
averaging 13 yards per grab. The 6-4, 248-pounder is trying to
get over a torn MCL, but he should be 100% and more than fine by
the start of the year. With great hands, tremendous route
running ability, and the talent to be a go-to target, he should
put up monster numbers as the team's top target. While he's
steady, when he's on, he's unstoppable catching 21 passes for
351 yards and a score to start the season, and he made 12 grabs
for 175 yards and two touchdowns against Colorado State. He'll
be on the All-America short list and should be among the
nation's leading receiving tight ends.
Projected Top Reserves:
Junior Luke Ashworth
will likely end up as a starter, and at the very least,
he'll be in a rotation with Jacobson at one spot if he's not a
part of three-wide sets. The 6-2, 201-pounder can work inside
and out with excellent athleticism and the toughness to go over
the middle whenever needed. He caught three passes for 49 yards
last year, but he'll help make up for the loss of Austin Collie
by catching at least 40 passes.
5-9, 188-pound junior Tyler Koslozwki, son of
former Cougar and Chicago Bear, Glen Kozlowski, made three
catches for 31 yards in a limited role and now will work behind
Chambers at one spot. While he doesn't have the ability of the
other top targets, he has great hands and should be strong on
third downs.
Even though Pitta is back and healthy, senior Andrew
George will be a key part of the offense again after
catching 23 passes for 219 yards and six scores. Pitta is a big
play receiver, while George is strong on short to midrange
targets. The 6-5, 249-pounder has all-star talent, but it's hard
to shine with Pitta as the main weapon. If something happens to
Pitta, George could be a 60-catch target.
Watch Out For ... Jacobson. He's not going to be
Austin Collie, but he has the makeup and the potential to be an
all-star who makes big things happen. He'll be great whenever he
gets the ball on the move and he should end up being the team's
leading receiver.
Strength: Tight end. There are a slew of good tight ends
throughout college football. Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham is the
best in America, leading the pack, but Pitta's numbers will be
as impressive as anyone's. George would start and be a star for
most teams.
Weakness: Austin Collie. There are plenty of good receivers who
should step up and put up nice numbers last year, but it'll be
tough to replace the 106 grabs for 1,538 yards and 15 scores
that Collie came up with. Losing Michael Reed, and his 49
catches for 589 yards and two scores, also hurts.
Outlook: Max Hall will make everyone around him
better. All he needs are a slew of good route runners, and a
dependable go to target, and he has them. Pitta will make every
big play happen when needed, while all the Cougar receivers run
precise routes and catch everything thrown their way.
Rating: 7.5
Offensive Linemen
Projected Starters:
The star of a rebuilding line will be
Matt Reynolds, an All-Mountain West star with the job to keep Max Hall upright. The 6-6, 320-pound sophomore
is one of the top recruits the program has ever landed, and he
showed why in his first season as a starter at left tackle.
He was the Utah High School Player of the Year in 2005 and
could've gone anywhere, and now he'll be the one the offense
works around and runs behind on key plays.
Stepping in at left guard is junior Jason Speredon,
a 6-5, 305-pounder who's versatile enough to play either guard
spot or tackle if absolutely needed. Big, athletic, and tough,
he showed this offseason that he's ready to become a major
factor after serving last year as a key backup.
Taking over in the middle is senior R.J. Willing,
a veteran who has seen extensive time over the last three years
and will be more than fine in a full-time role. At 6-5 and
310-pounds he has excellent size, and he knows exactly what he's
doing. He won't miss any line calls and he should be a rock as
the season goes on.
6-3, 351-pound sophomore Terence Brown is a
massive blocker who has the upside to be special. More athletic
than he should probably be for a player of his size, he'll hold
down the starting right guard job for the next three years, if
he doesn't move over to left guard. Very smart, he's not going
to make many mistakes.
Junior Nick Alleto is a 6-6, 318-pound junior
who worked hard to bulk up over the last few years, and now he's
ready. He suffered a knee injury this offseason and will be
pushed for the right tackle job this fall, but he's expected to
be fine and he should be fine. He's an athlete who put on extra
pounds. He should be great in pass protection.
Projected Top Reserves:
Braden Hansen
went on his two-year mission and now should
be a star on the outside ... eventually. The 6-6, 286-pound
freshman won't push Matt Reynolds out of a job, but he's one of
the team's most talented linemen and should eventually work at
one of the tackle spots. He's not a guard, but he might see time
on the inside just to get him on the field.
The top backup guard should be Jesse Taufi, a
6-4, 302-pound junior who saw time this offseason at tackle to
show off his versatility. He'll start out the year as the backup
at right guard behind Brown, but he could easily work at left
guard if needed and is listed as the top backup option at right
tackle. There isn't much of a drop-off from the projected
starters to him.
Watch Out For ...
Brown. For a player as huge as he is, it'll be hard not to want
to pound away behind him with a big back like Harvey Unga over
and over again. The talent of the line is on the left side, but
Brown is a good one who should grow into an all-star over the
next four years.
Strength: Tackles. Reynolds deserves All-America
consideration and Alleto is a good-sized pass protector who's
equally good against speed rushers and strong ones. Taufi and
Hansen could start on the outside without a problem.
Weakness: Overall experience. As good as the line should be,
it's never a plus to lose four starters and talents like Dallas
Reynolds and Ray Feinga. The line was fine this offseason, but
it might be a lot to ask for a good start to the year with
Oklahoma looming in the opener.
The line was fantastic last year (against everyone but
TCU's Jerry Hughes), allowing just 19 sacks while paving the way
for 134 rushing yards per game. The line might undergo an
overhaul with four new starters, but this is a very big group
that should be fantastic by the middle of the season. It might
not look pretty against the Sooners, but it'll turn out to be
good and should be phenomenal going into next year.

Swype Finally Hits Google Play
It's been a while since Swype keyboard was first released. Unfortunately, access to it was restricted to its official website since its developer decided not to publish it on Google Play from the very first moment. It's a decision which is quite common when the app introduces a technology that can be sold to manufacturers to introduce it as a built-in app in mobile devices.
This seems to be the case with Swype, since they are finally releasing it on Google Play, after being acquired by Nuance, the company behind the development of the voice-assistance Dragon.
Swype is a keyboard replacement that features an innovative way to input text: swiping. Use your fingertips to draw a path from letter to letter until making the word up. This system is, obviously, backed by a powerful and accurate prediction engine that helps the user getting the right word faster. It requires some time to get used to it, however, once the user advances through the learning curve, it becomes one of the best text input systems. Actually, it learns from your typing (well, swyping) style.
Besides swyping, users can also input text by speaking, i.e thanks to its quite accurate speech-to-text technology. Write is another input system that Swype keyboards come with: use your finger to draw letters and words and Swype will turn into text. Finally, like other keyboard replacement (and the built-in Android keyboard), you can text by tapping letters, the classic way but, making the most of Swype's prediction engine.
Swype hits Google Play at $0.99, an affordable price for a high-end keyboard replacement. Anyway, if you aren't sure about whether that new system is going to fit you, there's also a trial version that will time out in 30 days. Enough time to test it out and be sure if Swype is for you.

Sunday Strum continues with this "4 Measure Mix Up."
Downhome, handclapping fun that includes a dancing legend!
McPherson's third album, Wedgwood, releases June 10.
Tony Lucca is his first self-titled release, and his first entirely self-produced effort.
Some of my favorite musical sounds are those that consist of long, flowing arpeggios, whether they are present in rock, classical, electronic music or metal. The manner by which most guitar players execute lengthy arpeggiated lines is by using sweep picking, wherein the pick is dragged in a single motion across two or more adjacent strings using either a downstroke or an upstroke.
As I've mentioned in previous columns, when I'm soloing I like to combine a variety of flashy techniques—such as sweep picking, fretboard tapping and legato articulations—that allow me to play very fast lines. These techniques can be heard in my solos to the songs "Good Girls, Bad Guys" and "Don't Mess with Ouija Boards" from the Falling in Reverse album The Drug in Me Is You. For this month's lesson, I'd like to go over portions of those solos.
With no thirds, sevenths or other notes included in the backing power chords, I have the freedom as a soloist to inject minor or major thirds and sixth and sevenths into my solo lines without them clashing with the chords. In this month's column, I'd like to focus on two of my favorite scales for soloing that include the above-mentioned intervals: harmonic minor and its fifth mode, Phrygian dominant.

String skipping is a technique I use in a handful of solos that I've recorded with my band, Falling in Reverse. Some of my guitar students have erroneously assumed that certain phrases were performed using sweep picking, but in fact I used string skipping, along with alternate and economy picking, to create a similar effect. If you're a fan of the sound of fast alternate- and sweep/economy-picked phrases, the string-skipping techniques I demonstrate in this month's lesson will appeal to you.

Local high school students are taking part in a community service project to help feed the hungry.
They're part of Upward Bound, a college prep academy hosted by Washington State Community College (WSCC).
WMOA News spoke with Washington State's Katey Blackwell, who explains that Upward Bound is a federally-funded program. "It provides social, cultural, and educational opportunities to local high school students interested in obtaining a college degree in the future."
Blackwell says Upward Bound is partnering with AmeriCorps volunteers at WSCC in celebration of Martin Luther King Day of Service.
"On Tuesday we canvassed neighborhoods for food donations for the Marietta Community Food Pantry," says Blackwell. "Our students are very excited to serve our community."
She notes that 'giving back' is an important part of Upward Bound.
"Our students come from a variety of different backgrounds and it can be easy to not realize the level of need in our own area. We work on making the students aware of local poverty, food needs, and homelessness issues."
This Saturday, around 45 students will collect and deliver the bagged food donations to the Marietta Community Food Pantry. They'll take a tour of the facility, located in the First Congregational Church on Front Street, and hear from a speaker with the Washington County Job and Family Services Department.

An attorney for former NFL star Darren Sharper said Friday that there is no evidence to support an allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman in New Orleans last September.
Nandi (nahn-dee) Campbell said that her investigation shows the woman in the complaint followed Sharper willingly throughout the evening. And, Campbell stressed that the ex-Saints safety has not been charged in the New Orleans complaint.
Asked for information on the Sharper investigation, New Orleans police Friday released a brief report.
It said the unidentified woman said she was assaulted by a man who took her to his apartment the night of Sept. 23 after she consumed a large amount of alcohol. The report does not name Sharper, but Campbell confirmed that he is the man in the report.
Campbell noted that the complaint said the woman had said she consumed a large amount of alcohol. Campbell said in an interview that her own investigation turned up witnesses who saw the woman that evening.
''There were numerous witnesses who observed the complainant on her own and also observed her after encountering Sharper,'' Campbell said in a statement. ''Certain witnesses observed Sharper mingling with various patrons and observed the complainant follow him willingly throughout the evening.''
Police say the investigation remains open. The New Orleans complaint came to light last week after Sharper was arrested in Los Angeles on a suspicion of rape charge that is not related to the Louisiana case. He has a Feb. 14 court appearance scheduled. Campbell said she did not know who he had hired to defend him in the Los Angeles case.
Sharper, 38, played in the NFL from 1997-2010, mostly with the Packers. He retired after the 2010 season. He was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Packers as a rookie and a second with the Saints.

In Defense of Dawkins's Reason Rally Speech
By DANIEL FINCKE - CAMELS WITH HAMMERS
Added: Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:57:06 UTC
While the media has largely ignored The Reason Rally, the one most popular bit of news that seems to be traveling around and getting criticized is Richard Dawkins's recommendation to the crowd that we should incredulously and mockingly ask people who say they are Catholic whether they really believe in the transsubstantiation during the Eucharist in which bread becomes literally the body of Christ and wine becomes literally the blood of Christ.
Critics are responding to Dawkins's remarks by accusing him of hypocritically and perversely using what was nominally a rally for reason to pump up prejudice and mocking unreasonableness. To interpret his critics charitably, the following assumptions must be in play:
"To be rational in the utmost is to consider one's opponent's best arguments rather than to attack either strawman or 'weak man' arguments."
"To attack with mockery, rather than argument, the prima facie absurdity of transsubstantiation is to evade serious rational discussion of the question of God's existence."
"To attempt to persuade someone by mocking their beliefs rather than carefully refuting them is to attempt an end-run around rational debate and to try to bully someone into agreement by pressuring them that if they do not agree with you they will look silly and be thought a fool."
"To mock someone's beliefs is an inherently demeaning thing to do to them."
There are several reasons these assumptions miss the mark.
First of all, these criticisms of Dawkins lazily and unreasonably ignore the actual rationale that he gave for specifically raising the issue of transsubstantiation. It was actually not to make the believer feel stupid for believing such nonsense. Dawkins explicitly expressed doubt that the majority of nominally believing people really do believe such absurdities. He did not impugn their intelligence but rather he actually assumed they were smarter than their supposed beliefs. He was calling atheists to challenge nominal Catholics to confront the dissonance between what they actually believe and the Catholicism they often only passively belong to.

A day after UB group chief Vijay Mallya was named a wilful defaulter by United Bank of India, he suffered a setback after the Supreme Court said its Special Leave Petition has turned "infructuous" while allowing him to pursue legal remedies as are available.
In simple words, the apex court said that since the event (terming Mallya a wilful defaulter) has already happened, there's no point in trying to stop it from happening.
Legally speaking, a petition or an application to a court of law becomes infructuous when the fundamental premises upon which a petition is based no longer exist.
Kingfisher Airlines had filed the Special Leave Petition on Friday against an order from Calcutta High Court which dismissed its writ petition and an appeal against denial of the company's right to be represented by lawyers before the Grievance Redressal Committee of UBI.
With the window to move Supreme Court now appear to be closed, Mallya would now approach the Calcutta High Court again challenging the decision of the Grievance Redressal Committee, the company's counsel submitted before the apex court.
Mallya's office denied that Kingfisher has wilfully defaulted on loans extended by United Bank and claimed that non-payment related only to just Rs 7.5 crore of overdraft facility taken from the bank.
"Kingfisher and its directors would vigorously challenge the decision of United Bank. They strongly deny the allegations of wilful default for alleged non-payment of Rs 7.5 crore to the bank," Prakash Mirpuri, VP corp comm of UB Group, said in a release.
The statement reiterated Mallya's stand that he and his directors have not been given any opportunity to present their case through lawyers of their choice and that United Bank has come to a wrongful ex-parte decision in great haste when the question of legal representation was under challenge.
Following the decision of United Bank, which is the first, and till now, the only bank to term Mallya a wilful defaulter, other banks in the consortium of lenders like State Bank of India, IDBI Bank and UCO Bank are also mulling taking similar steps.

The last Tech Meets Conservation meetup (TMC03) was a great success. Participants got deeply engaged in the theme of Nairobi Then & Now. Here's a snapshot of what was discussed by the GiGs :
In the follow-up to the meet up we were to visit the Nairobi National Park towards the end of July. Our aim was to gain a deeper appreciation for some of the natural wealth we already have as a city before beginning to try and convince others why they should appreciate and respect it too. However, due to logistical issues, the visit was not possible in the month of July.
That being said, we are glad to announce that the trip to the National Park will happen in September, tentatively on Saturday 7th (to be confirmed). Anyone interested in learning what TMC is about can see our first post here. If you would like to join us on for TMC04, kindly sign up here. We hope to see you soon GiGs. In the meantime, keep it clean and green.

I read all these other stories at this site describing the same problem I was having with my ice maker. So I ordered the same part. I used a nut driver to remove the ice maker unit from the freezer compartment. Used a screwdriver to remove the motor assembly, then just put the new one on. The hardest part was getting the on/off bar back on the new assembly, but that wasn,t that bad. Turned it on and checked back in fifteen minutes to find water in the trough!I think what quit working was the heat element that warms the ice enough for the paddles to pry the ice pieces from the trough. And then that may have ruined the gears. This is just my best guess from what I observed originally.GREAT WEB SITE! I saved a lot of money. I'll definitely remember you guys.

Research Frontiers: Shares Could Fall Substantially If Sky-High Expectations Are Not Met [View article]
Here are two of my principal issues. First, the company has $10m in cash, versus a recent burn rate of about $3.3m/yr net of stock issuance proceeds. So even if they were unable to access the capital markets and made no efforts to economize, they'd still have enough cash to operate for 3 years. (To his credit, the author does say he believes there is no "hard catalyst" for a stock price drop). It's safe to say that having survived 50 years, REFR will still be around at least through 2017. So a short investor has to consider the possibility that in the meantime, REFR will luck into some business opportunity that actually ends up justifying the stock price -- or more.
Second, it's taken them 50 years to get a product to market, sure, but a product they do now have. Despite the fact that SPD glass now has a track record, the author makes no attempt to develop a bottom-up value on that product, the company, or the stock. I will assist on that point: here's a back-of-the-envelope stab at valuing the MB sunroof fee stream. In Q1, license fees were $308k, $145k of which apparently were non-one-time fees from MB. Annualize that ($580k) and assume $200 per sunroof in license fees; that implies 2900 SPD sunroofs are being installed per year. MB sold 7k SL-class cars in 2013, for a take rate of 41%. S-class sold 13k units last year; assume a similar take rate on those, and that's another $1.08m in fees per year perhaps starting in 2015. SWAG a take rate of 10% on the 70k E-class cars sold in 2013, and that's $1.4m in (far more speculative) fees. Add that up ($3.06m), haircut it 20% for uncertainty, and put a 20x multiple on what's left to account for a growth valuation, and you end up with a fee stream with a potential value of $49m, or $2.12/share. (YMMV, of course). Add the .47/share in cash, and you're at about $2.60, solely based on one license relationship plus the cash. Of course that's well less than $6 -- and it totally ignores the cost side of the income statement -- but it does suggest there could be, finally, some fundamental value in REFR and the SPD product.
Anyway, you don't have to believe in the promise of SPD glass to see that there are nevertheless considerable risks to the short thesis on REFR. REFR is probably worth more than zero, management's efforts to dilute and confiscate that value notwithstanding. REFR the company is not going to fall off a cliff tomorrow. And for the duration of your short, management is trying their hardest to keep the stock afloat through a steady stream of sky's-the-limit press releases. What you're left with is the worst kind of short: you know the stock should go down, but it's gonna be a very long, anxiety-inducing grind before you get there, if ever. Again, I'm not saying the thesis won't prove out, but I for one would rather be able to sleep well at night.Jun 24, 2014. 11:41 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Microsoft: Worth $37.07 Per Share [View article]
Not to say an investment in MSFT is riskless; clearly there are existential threats to their business model which they have not yet proven they can navigate a way out of. But with such a paucity of alternatives in this frothy market, I think one should be delighted with an 8% expected return in the stock. I'm too lazy to reconstruct your model and apply a 8% discount rate, but I'm guessing your discounted-earnings fair value would be closer to $45-$50 on that basis. (I also second mjwrona's point about backing out the cash on balance sheet.) MSFT has come a long ways, but it still has room to run.Jun 21, 2014. 12:44 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

It may not happen for a year or two, but when that day comes, I doubt the optimism will be quite as heady as it is today: how many investors then will be willing to pay $1 for 50 cents of NAV if TCAP can't generate the same rates of NII as they have in the past?Mar 7, 2013. 04:01 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
1) At first, you claim that because AT is not a utility, they can reduce generation capacity at will if it makes economic sense, and we shouldn't be concerned about that. But then you spend a few paragraphs worrying about how they will make up for the cashflow lost from reducing their generation capacity. So, which is it? Should it be a concern, or shouldn't it?
2) In your cashflow analysis, you give AT credit for $16mm of savings on nat gas purchases. But by doing that, you are double counting that amount. The fuel savings are already embedded in the $38MM figure. So your $49mm "additional" cashflow conclusion is overstated by at least $16mm.Feb 26, 2013. 03:19 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
wdjax0n, the "problem" with this (at least from management's standpoint) is that sooner or later the market wises up to the game and the stock gets punished. So the trick for the CEO is to both maintain the divvy any way possible -and- to talk a good game about all the great things his company will be doing in the future, so that the stock price stays propped up and he can raise more capital to keep the game going.

Krugman Is Wrong On Inequality [View article]
There's nothing expansionary about current-day fiscal policy. If anything, fiscal policy is working in the opposite direction. The only thing keeping GDP afloat right now is the Fed.
> ultimately even shareholders will have to recognize that this is no way to run an economy long term. The shortfall in demand that this causes either has to come either from abroad [...] or kept up by very expansive macro policies.
So long as the Fed is willing to continue its easy-money policies--which at the moment look to be quite open-ended--why should investor sentiment change at all?

In Search Of Yield: Yield To Call 24.07% For I-Star Preferred I [View article]
Also, if you're thinking about buying IStar preferreds as a play on the company calling them in, then buying the D shares would seem to make more sense than the I's -- D's have a higher coupon yield, and so are more likely to be called first.
In any event, a call is years away, maybe never. The company has demonstrated they'll only buy back their own securities if (1) it's the highest and best use of their capital or (2) they can refi at a lower rate. (1) is unlikely as SFI is now talking for the first time in years about deploying their capital on new projects, suggesting that pfd buybacks are not a priority. (2) is also not likely until the pfd's trade at a premium to par. The author has identified a good investment idea -- SFI pfd's are indeed likely to generate a fair risk-adjusted return for the next several years, imo -- but for the wrong reasons.Dec 11, 2012. 01:04 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
North Atlantic Drilling: Cheapest Offshore Driller With A Huge 9% Yield [View article]
The $2b loan facility is explicitly referred to as a "bank loan". In Note 22 of the annual report they even spell out which banks are the lenders: Swedbank, Fokus, ABN Amro and Nordea. Seadrill is not the creditor here.
Maybe as you suggest, tho, Seadrill is the master puppeteer manipulating the strings behind the scenes. But also remember that they're trying to divest themselves of their NATDF stake. While SDRL may be protecting them today, eventually NATDF stands on its own; and if at that point they're routinely violating bank loan covenants, who knows how things turns out?
> In terms of the actual covenant, the covenant is on a marked to market basis. So, by my math, you should take the completed rigs value (as you did), but also you should include the cash spent to date on the new rigs, which is around 250.
As a refresher, here's what the annual report (Note 14) says about the equity:assets covenant:
"[M]aintain total equity to total assets ratio of at least 25.0% throughout 2011 and 30.0% thereafter. Both equity and total assets are adjusted for the difference between book value and market values of drilling units."
By measuring total equity and total assets, the covenant -already- includes the value of the newbuilds in progress. As did my calculation of whether they're in compliance. My point about the valuation of the operational rigs was just to point out how impossible it is that NATDF could be in compliance today: the banks would have to be agreeing to a valuation on the rigs which is greater than cost of building those same rigs new.
> I get a 26% ratio if you do that, which is in compliance.
Aside from the fact that you're double-counting the value of the newbuilds, the compliance threshold for this year is 30%, not 26% or 25%.
> The 10Q also states that the company is in compliance w/ all their covenants.
Note that they don't indicate how often they test for compliance; compliance tests may only be run annually, we don't know. So the statement in the 3rd quarter report (not actually a 10Q, btw, as it was not filed with the SEC) may only be true on a technicality. What I do know is that if the tests were run at 9/30, it is highly unlikely they would have been in compliance.
> I submit that if you cannot get comfort w/ this capital structure, and it does have a fair amount of leverage, then just don't buy the stock.
Don't worry about that, I'm not touching NATDF. But I did do a fair bit of work on it following your article and thought it would be helpful to share with the SA community.
> I find more diligence issues with your comments (lack of understanding of math on covs, lack of even knowing that Seadrill is the lender under the bank facility, basic stuff) than with the work provided here to be honest.
Suffice to say that I think the same of your response.Dec 10, 2012. 11:45 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
CEF Weekly Review: ING Emerging Markets High Dividend [View article]

> The annual quarterly [sic] yield is 10.4% and its premium to [NAV] is about 4.3%.
Friendly reminder that the most value-added thing you can do when you write about CEFs is to tell us not just the distribution yield, but how much of that yield is organically generated vs. return of capital, so we don't have to do the math on it ourselves when you likely already have the answer.

Supporters of a measure that would have expanded background checks for firearm purchases decried the bill's death in the U.S. Senate last month. But was the defeat really such a bad thing?
Had it passed, the new law would have been hailed as a historic breakthrough by "anti-gun" forces and a historic mistake by "pro-gun" forces. But on the ground, where American citizens are being shot and killed every day, nothing much would have changed.
That's the way things have gone for decades in the grinding American culture war over guns. Nearly 20 years ago, gun control advocates fought a bitter war to pass the Brady bill, the beginning of background checks for firearms. They predicted massive crime reductions, which did not come. An assault weapons ban followed, with the same predictions and same insignificant results. When the law expired, there were doomsday expectations of soaring body counts, which we didn't see. As the concealed-carry movement has swept the country, opponents have warned of public shootouts, while those in favour anticipated armed citizens stopping predators in the streets. Neither really happened.
The fact is that most of the recent debate entirely missed the point about the nature of most gun violence in America. The largest share — up to three-quarters of all homicides in many cities — is driven by gangs and drug crews. Most of the remainder is also concentrated among active criminals; ordinary citizens who own guns do not commit street robberies or shoot their neighbours and wives. Measures aimed at high-capacity magazines and military-style semi-automatic rifles, which could conceivably have helped address Newtown-style school shootings, had been stripped from the bill that died in the Senate.
Even if those provisions had been passed, the guns involved in the vast majority of crimes are everyday handguns. Background checks and increased attention to gun trafficking would have made some small difference in keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. But the neighbourhoods where this violence is concentrated, most of which are poor and minority, need real help, and they would not have gotten it from the Senate bill.
The most powerful interventions aimed at day-to-day gun violence lie elsewhere. In the absence of any movement in the larger gun debate, mayors, police chiefs, prosecutors and academics have been moving on their own — and have made real progress. The way forward lies in two directions.
One is to focus on "hot" groups and individuals. Gun violence turns out to be driven by a fantastically small number of people: about five per cent of the young men in the most dangerous neighbourhoods. It is possible to identify them, put together a partnership of law enforcement, community figures and social service providers, and have a face-to-face engagement in which the authorities say, "We know who you are, we know what you're doing, we'd like to help you, but your violence has to stop, and there will be serious legal consequences if it doesn't."
The original version of this approach, Operation Ceasefire in Boston, cut youth homicide by two-thirds and all homicide by half. A version aimed at parolees with violent criminal records returning to particularly hot Chicago neighbourhoods cut homicide by nearly 40 per cent. Boston's strategy has since been put in place in many cities (and in the Los Angeles Police Department's mission division in the north San Fernando Valley, with very promising results); Chicago's approach is now being replicated in New York state, including in three New York City neighbourhoods. Research on the basic approach shows consistently positive outcomes.
The second strategy involves focusing on "hot" places. Even in high-crime communities, gun violence is concentrated geographically. It is particular blocks and corners, not whole neighbourhoods, that are at highest risk. Rutgers University criminologist Anthony Braga has found that such places often stay hot for decades. Focused police attention on those places pays demonstrable dividends. Mere presence works; more sophisticated problem-solving efforts work better.
These approaches can work quickly, and they sidestep the culture war on guns because they require no legislative action. Most important, they bring relief to the beleaguered communities that need it the most.
If discussion about the approaches have been conspicuously absent from the national debate, that is not true at the state and local levels. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, for example, is implementing the Boston strategy as part of his "NOLA for Life" antiviolence initiative. Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Supt. Garry McCarthy have made them the centrepiece of Chicago's violence prevention strategy, and they already see results. After making headlines last year for its extreme violence, Chicago is seeing dramatic declines.
Cities need help from the federal government, however. A relatively small investment nationally would provide what they need to understand, implement and sustain these approaches across the nation.
Not long ago, violent crime was a clear federal priority. Efforts included the Bill Clinton administration's office of community-oriented policing services, or COPS, and the George W. Bush administration's Project Safe Neighbourhoods. Earlier versions of both have been rightly criticized for a lack of focus: the COPS office for essentially being a jobs program for police, and Project Safe Neighbourhoods for allowing federal prosecutors to do pretty much whatever they wanted as long as they said it was about gun crime. Both programs are shadows of their former selves, but they could be used to bring the federal government back into a game that it should never have left.
Washington could use vehicles such as the Community Oriented Policing office and Project Safe Neighbourhoods to say to cities: These things work, and we will help you implement them. In the vacuum left by the failure of the Senate to act, it not only could but should.

Rachel was born in Kentucky, but has lived a variety of places including Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, England, and Japan. She has a BA in Comparative Literature, although she insists it should have been a BS because her undergraduate thesis was called "Paradox and Parody in Don Quixote and the satires of Lucian." She eschewed graduate school in favour of drawing comic books. She now lives in Vancouver, BC, with her family, their whippet, and a talking frog and salamander (who fight zombies)(really. There are a lot of zombies in the Pacific Northwest).
Lyrical, imaginative, and wholly original, this "New York Times" bestseller with 8 starred reviews is not to be missed. Rachel Hartman's award-winning debut will have you looking at dragons as you've never imagined them before...
In the kingdom of Goredd, dragons and humans live and work side by side - while below the surface, tensions and hostility simmer.
The newest member of the royal court, a uniquely gifted musician named Seraphina, holds a deep secret of her own. One that she guards with all of her being.
When a member of the royal family is brutally murdered, Seraphina is drawn into the investigation alongside the dangerously perceptive--and dashing--Prince Lucien. But as the two uncover a sinister plot to destroy the wavering peace of the kingdom, Seraphina's struggle to protect her secret becomes increasingly difficult... while its discovery could mean her very life.
1. The concept of tending the garden of grotesques is very fascinating; could you tell us about where this idea came from?
It came from an ancient mnemonic device called a Memory Palace: an imaginary building wherein one places things that need to be remembered. Each item on your list correlates to a specific room of the palace, such that when you walk through the rooms again, you encounter all the items on your list. I like the idea of a geography of mind, that there are places inside ourselves that we can visit, that have some kind of symbolic significance. The garden also corresponds a bit to what it's like to live inside a writer's brain, peopled by all kinds of strange characters.
2. You're a musician yourself & music plays a large part in SERAPHINA, is there a greater significance incorporating musical themes?
Music, like any art, has many uses. It can bring people together, pull them apart, illuminate and inspire and act as an extended metaphor. I use it all of these ways at one point or another in the book, but I do feel rather strongly (especially as regards themes and metaphors) that this is for the reader to discover rather than me to explain. I can tell you, however, that one thing I particularly wanted to convey is what it feels like to perform music in front of an audience. It is one of the most transcendent experiences I've ever had, and something that non-musicians (or very shy musicians) may not be familiar with.
3. Set in the high fantasy land of Goredd, Seraphina's world is incredibly well-crafted. How much research did you do while developing the setting? Is any of it inspired by other mythical places?
My first inklings of Goredd came to me when I was in seventh grade, so in some sense all the research I've ever done has gone into it, and that's a great deal. I've long been fascinated by the Middle Ages, especially music and material culture, and have accumulated quite a collection of books. Not all my research came from books, however. Goredd is based not so much on mythical places as on real ones I visited when I was sixteen and lived in England. Canterbury Cathedral, Sissinghurst Castle Gardens, the rolling countryside (and oast houses) of Kent -- these and more beloved places are all present in the book and are a big reason the setting feels so vivid.
4. You use such vivid imagery and descriptive language in SERAPHINA. Can you imagine it being turned into a film? If so, who would you like to see cast? Would you prefer live-action or an animated style?
I have a weirdly hard time imagining it as a film. I guess that if/when that ever happens, I'll be surprised by everything I see on the screen -- which I consider a good thing. I rather like being surprised. The only character I envisioned as any specific actor was the Ardmagar Comonot, leader of dragonkind. I described him once to my editor as "Shatneresque," and that was it. Forever after, he's been William Shatner in my mind.
5. SERAPHINA has been nominated for and received many awards since its publication. When you first started out, did you think it would become such a big deal?
Certainly I always hoped it would find a wide audience. I worked in bookstores for many years, however, and so I had a pretty realistic notion of what the odds were. Sometimes wonderful books fail to find their readers, and sometimes they unexpectedly catch the zeitgeist just right and take off beyond all expectations. It's actually pretty hard to predict, in my experience.
6. What's your go-to playlist while writing?
It depends what kind of scene I'm writing. I have rather specific requirements sometimes, and will put a single song on infinite repeat until I've sucked all the joy out of it. These days I'm listening to a lot of folk metal, but there's usually prog rock and medieval music somewhere in the mix.
7. If you weren't an author, what career would you want?
When I was a small child, I wanted to be a fire hydrant. I'm not sure my aspirations have matured a whole lot since then.
8. Are you a pantser or a plotter?
I'm a reformed pantser who reluctantly plots, only to punch my plot in the face at every possible opportunity. I hate the constraint of an outline, but if I don't outline at all, I have trouble reining everything in.
9. Coffee or tea?
Tea, forever and ever, amen.
10. What's your favorite TV show? Movie? Band?
I am enjoying the living daylights out of Agent Carter on TV. My favourite movie is probably not "Aguirre:The Wrath of God," but I like to pretend it is because I have a terrible time choosing a true favourite. My favourite band at the moment is The Gloaming, which features some transcendent Irish fiddling as well as my favourite vocalist, Iarla Ó Lionáird.
Rachel will be at Books Inc. Palo Alto on Monday, February 2nd at 7PM to answer any more of your questions!

Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan
Expected Publication Date: February 24th, 2015
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Genre: Historical Fiction/Magical Realism
Ages: 8-12
Music, magic, and a real-life miracle meld in this genre-defying masterpiece from storytelling maestro Pam Munoz Ryan.
Lost and alone a forbidden forest, Otto meets three mysterious sisters and suddenly finds himself entwined in a puzzling quest involving a prophecy, a promise, and a harmonica.
Decades later, Friedrich in Germany, Mike in Pennsylvania, and Ivy in California each, in turn, become interwoven when the very same harmonica lands in their lives. All the children face daunting challenges: rescuing a father, protecting a brother, holding a family together. And ultimately, pulled by the invisible thread of destiny, their suspenseful solo stories converge in an orchestral crescendo.
Richly imagined and masterfully crafted, ECHO pushes the boundaries of genre and form, and shows us what is possible in how we tell stories. The result is an impassioned, uplifting, and virtuosic tour de force that will resound in your heart long after the last note has been struck.
I found this book to be beautifully executed by Ryan who begins with a fairy tale involving a mystical harmonica to set the stage for her three characters whose stories become interconnected. Three children, Friedrich, Mike and Ivy, growing up before and during WWII, are brought together through this harmonica and along the way we learn about their lives and the struggles they endure. Set before and during WWII, we get a fictional glimpse of life in Nazi Germany, hardscrabble American society, and social injustice and segregation in California. The story is immensely satisfying and inspiring and I was impressed with the historical research. A must read for 2015!

James Marshall's George and Martha books have a permanent spot on my bedside table. I read them when I'm trying to get to sleep, or for a laugh in the morning, or when I'm wanting inspiration, or feeling low. They're everything I think children's books should be, from the hilarious illustrations to the pitch-perfect dialogue to the comic timing to the heart.
Everything is wonderfully deadpan in these hippos' respective worlds, and their problems — from Martha's diminishing confidence as she walks a tightrope, to George's hatred of the endless split-pea soup he's served — are treated with the upmost importance and sincerity. The action begins from the very first sentence and, two or three pages later, everything is resolved. Well, sort of.
Much like a comedian, Marshall generally opens with an absurd premise, and then simply commits to it until it makes a certain skewed amount of sense. But these aren't just absurdist stories — they have plenty of warmth and emotion, as the hippos demonstrate genuine feelings and what it takes to maintain a real friendship.
Marshall writes and draws with a seemingly effortless touch, making humor look easy. But according to his friend, Maurice Sendak, in his foreword to the posthumous Marshall collection, George and Martha: The Complete Stories of Two Best Friends, Marshall labored over his work, endlessly redrawing his hippos, to achieve just the right expressions, the right looks, the right moments.
George and Martha books never disappoint me. No pressure, but please immediately add them all to your collection if they're not already on your bedside table.

I have tried to print this recipe 2 different ways, & for some reason the "directions" (page 2) won't print!! well, actually a page 2 prints, only it is blank. So what is the problem?? This sounds like a good recipe, but without directions, it is unusable.
Was this helpful?
These are so simple to make and are one of my husband's favorite cupcakes.

Mesothelioma Victims Center Now Urges US Navy Veterans Diagnosed With Mesothelioma To Call Them For The Names Of The Best Mesothelioma Law Firms-Quality Matters
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are the only group in the nation that offers a US Navy Veteran, who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, with the names of the best mesothelioma law firms in the nation, and we are urging victims of mesothelioma, or their loved ones to take advantage of our unsurpassed free service and call us at 866-714-646. Just call us at 866-714-6466, and let us make a difference for you, or your loved one, because the quality of the mesothelioma law firm does matter." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
(PRWEB) April 05, 2013
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is urging US Navy Veterans, or any US citizen diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called mesothelioma to take advantage of their Mesothelioma Victims Initiative. If a victim of mesothelioma, or the family of a victim of mesothelioma are concerned about financial compensation, the Mesothelioma Victims Center gladly gives out the names, and specific contacts for the most skilled mesothelioma law firms in the nation, because they know the quality of the mesothelioma law firm has a direct relationship to compensation. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are passionate about making certain any US citizen diagnosed with mesothelioma can literally call us and get the names, and contacts of the best mesothelioma law firms, or mesothelioma attorneys in the US. Why settle for second best-when it comes to financial compensation?" Victims of mesothelioma, or their family members can call the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466, for their vital services.
States that have naval shipyards that are notorious for asbestos exposure for US Navy Sailors:
- California
- Virginia
- Washington
- Maine
- Louisiana
- Hawaii
The Mesothelioma Victims Center's free services are available to US citizens. Aside from US Navy Veterans, other high risk groups for mesothelioma cancer include shipyard, power plant, or oil refinery workers, plumbers, chemical manufacturing facility workers, electricians, county, or city municipal water district workers, miners, demolition construction contractors, railroad workers, or auto brake technicians. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "We are becoming increasingly worried that victims of mesothelioma, or their family members wait too long before getting a legal review from a very skilled mesothelioma law firm that has expertise in mesothelioma financial compensation. We also fear a large number of mesothelioma victims get shortchanged by hiring a cable TV mesothelioma law firm. If a victim of mesothelioma, or their family members are concerned about financial compensation, and they want the names of top caliber mesothelioma law firms that consistently get the best compensation results for their clients, please call us at 866-714-6466." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com

This book is the result of the 1995 Second Symposium on Human Interaction with Complex Systems. This symposium brought together a number of experts in the area of Human-System Interaction to provide answers to a variety of problems in four major areas of HSI, Cognitive Ergonomics of Complex Systems, Information Display and Decision Aiding, Progress in Human-System Interaction, and Human Modeling and Simulation. In 1994, we initiated a series of symposiums on Human Interaction with Complex Systems. It was then that various ideas surrounding HSI for today and tomorrow were discussed by many scientists in the related disciplines. As a follow-up, in 1995 the Second Symposium was organized. The objective of this symposium was to attempt to define a framework, principles, and theories for HSI research. This book is the result of that symposium. Human Interaction with Complex Systems: Conceptual Principles and Design Practice is valuable as a reference for researchers and practitioners in Human System Interaction and as a secondary text for a graduate level course on Human Computer Interaction.
