Samsung 4Q profits top forecasts on Galaxy sales
Friday - 1/25/2013, 1:16am EST
By YOUKYUNG LEE
AP Technology Writer
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Samsung Electronics Co. said quarterly profit soared 76 percent, boosted by the popularity of its Galaxy smartphones, which outsold the iPhone for a fourth straight quarter.
But the company said Friday it expects earnings to decline during the current quarter because of seasonally low demand for consumer electronics. It is also leaving its 2013 capital expenditure at the same level as last year at 23 trillion won ($21.5 billion), underlining uncertainty about the global economy and declining demand for personal computers.
The strong South Korean won is also becoming a negative for Samsung. It expects more than 3 trillion won will be shaved from its 2013 operating profit due to the stronger local currency. Samsung's shares fell as much as 3 percent after earnings release.
Net profit for the final quarter of 2012 totaled 7.04 trillion won ($6.6 billion), a 76 percent surge from 4.01 trillion won a year earlier. Analysts had expected 6.95 trillion won in net profit, according to financial information provider FactSet. Sales rose 19 percent over a year earlier to 56.06 trillion won and operating income jumped 89 percent to 8.84 trillion won.
Increased sales of smartphones were the key source of its profit growth. Samsung, which overtook Apple Inc. as the top smartphone maker last year, said its operating profit from the division that makes and sells smartphones and tablets more than doubled to 5.44 trillion won in the fourth quarter, from 2.56 trillion won a year earlier.
Most analysts believe the Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung shipped more than 60 million smartphones, including the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II, during the three months ending in December, which would put the year's smartphone sales at more than 200 million. Apple said it sold 47.8 million iPhones in the quarter.
Hong Kong-based research firm Counterpoint Research said Samsung took 33 percent market share in the fourth quarter, compared with Apple's 21 percent. Another market researcher IDC put Samsung's share at 29 percent versus Apple's 22 percent.
The company's component divisions that make semiconductor products and display panels also benefited from a rise in demand for smartphones. Sales of mobile processors that power popular devices such as Apple's iPhones and Samsung's own Galaxy smartphones boosted the bottom line.
The recovery in the display panel division was also led by strong sales of advanced mobile-phone screens called OLED, which are mostly found in high-end Samsung smartphones. The display division posted 1.11 trillion won in profit compared with a small loss a year earlier.
Analysts said Samsung will likely see a continued rise in smartphone sales this year, especially in low- and mid-priced models where it doesn't face competition from Apple. Some analysts, including Young Park at Woori Securities, forecast Samsung smartphone shipments to rise as much as 50 percent this year from 2012 to over 300 million units.
Samsung executives said during the conference call with investors that smartphone demand will ease in the current quarter without giving guidance for the company's performance. But analysts said that Samsung could be little affected by market demand thanks to its variety of products that range from affordable to expensive devices.
"Even though they said demand for smartphone will slow down in the first quarter, Samsung will likely buck the industry trend and its own smartphone sales will go up," said Byun Han-joon, an analyst at KB Investment & Securities.
Apple, which keeps its iPhone price high, might see iPhone sales plateau in coming years as more consumers snap up cheaper Android phones.
Still, Apple's business has been more profitable because of the high price of the iPhone, which generates a larger profit per sales. Samsung, which makes dozens of handset models a year and customizes them for mobile operators, also sells cheaper smartphones and spends about three times more on expenses such as marketing and advertising costs to promote its Galaxy brand phones and televisions.
Counterpoint Research estimates Apple, though it sold fewer handsets than Samsung, took 70 percent of profit in the handset market during the fourth quarter, while the South Korean rival claimed 25 percent.
Samsung is expected to introduce a new flagship smartphone in its Galaxy S series as early as April, which analysts say will shore up its bottom line. The company said consumers seeking to replace its current handset and get a faster wireless connection through LTE networks will drive the demand for new models, easing concerns that sales would slow because of high rates of smartphone use in developed markets. Part of its strategy to command higher prices from consumers has been adding new hardware features, such as a digital pen in the Galaxy Note series.

Parents arrested in baby's death bail out of jail
In a similar case last year, but one in which the baby survived, a 25-year-old mother was accused of leaving her 4-month-old baby in a car while she went shopping for clothes in National City.
Starley Geart has been ordered to stand trial on one felony count of child endangerment and an allegation that her baby suffered great bodily injury in the July 2012 incident.
Passers-by noticed the girl in the car, which was parked at a Plaza Boulevard shopping center.
The baby was sweating profusely and was initially unresponsive when a National City police officer tried to revive her. She was taken to Rady Children's Hospital, where she was revived.
Geart insisted that the girl had only been in the car for a minute, but surveillance video showed the baby had been by herself for almost seven minutes, prosecutors said in court. Geart faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted.

Macroeconomic uncertainties such as the Eurozone crisis and lower demand from India have exerted downward pressure on diamond prices in recent months.
The 2012 outlook for rough diamond prices appears to be dim and this trend is likely to remain the same until 2014, when constrained supply, stable US demand and increased demand from emerging economies is expected to pull rough diamond prices up.

Hey guys,
I have a strange situation and I don't know is it good or not. My item was updated with a major upgrade and fixed minor (mostly CSS ) problems few days ago.
Before the upgrade I received comments and email questions every day and not a single comment or e-mail since the last update. Is it good or not?
In the mean time sales moves quite good (for the items specific category) and doubled the number of sales in just 5 days (item was published 15 days ago). People rate it 5 out of 5 but no one comments and no more e-mails?
Is this normal and is it good or bad?
Excuse me if it's a dumb question. I am new here as you can see.
If sales are good but there are no comments it usually means people are not having any problems with it which is a good thing.

Cytec Industries
Last up is Cytec Industries (CYT - Get Report), a relative strength performer that's forming another textbook ascending triangle pattern right now. For Cytec, the breakout comes on a move above $70 resistance.
$70 isn't just significant because it's the resistance level that this stock has obeyed since September -- it's also the 52-week high for this stock. Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains -- as a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. That should help to accelerate breakout gains when buyers absorb that excess supply of shares at $70.

Abused dogs, prisoners tortured in Guantánamo and supermax facilities, or slaves killed by the state--all are deprived of personhood through legal acts. Such deprivations have recurred throughout history, and the law sustains these terrors and banishments even as it upholds the civil order. Examining such troubling cases, The Law Is a White Dog tackles key societal questions: How does the law construct our identities? How do its rules and sanctions make or unmake persons? And how do the supposedly rational claims of the law define marginal entities, both natural and supernatural, including ghosts, dogs, slaves, terrorist suspects, and felons? Reading the language, allusions, and symbols of legal discourse, and bridging distinctions between the human and nonhuman, Colin Dayan looks at how the law disfigures individuals and animals, and how slavery, punishment, and torture create unforeseen effects in our daily lives.
Moving seamlessly across genres and disciplines, Dayan considers legal practices and spiritual beliefs from medieval England, the North American colonies, and the Caribbean that have survived in our legal discourse, and she explores the civil deaths of felons and slaves through lawful repression. Tracing the legacy of slavery in the United States in the structures of the contemporary American prison system and in the administrative detention of ghostly supermax facilities, she also demonstrates how contemporary jurisprudence regarding cruel and unusual punishment prepared the way for abuses in Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo.
Using conventional historical and legal sources to answer unconventional questions, The Law Is a White Dog illuminates stark truths about civil society's ability to marginalize, exclude, and dehumanize.

13.07.08 - By Bill Calogero -- click here for Klitschko-Thompson photo gallery -- Wladimir Klitschko (photo: www.klitschko.com) knocked out Tony Thompson at 1:22 of the eleventh round in another questionable performance retaining his IBF, WBO & IBO Heavyweight Titles Saturday night. The bout was broadcast live on HBO from the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
In what was a one-sided fight, Wladimir Klitschko used his pawing jab, followed by his powerful right hand to methodically break down Tony Thompson en route to a not so exciting match-up.
Until the end of the bout, it appeared that Thompson was able to withstand Klitschkos best shots. The problem was that he (Thompson) simply was not throwing enough punches and when he did, there was absolutely no snap or power behind them..
In the first round, Thompson won the round on my scorecard by landing several solid lefts that landed flush on the face of Klitschko. His awkward style seemed to bother Wladimir and at the close of the round, I for one was beginning to think that this could be the upset most fans, including myself, were hoping for. Unfortunately for me, it was Thompsons only round he would win on my un-official scorecard.
For the remainder of the fight, Thompson appeared to be a sparring partner and look to survive the fight, rather than mount any type of attack or even throw meaningful punches. Even though Thompsons performance was strictly to help him survive, Wladimir Klitschko failed to dominate in an exciting manner.
Wladimir was able to throw and land his right hand all night but seemed to be open during most of the fight. Thompsons failure to capitalize on this was Klitschkos main advantage and helped him secure the win. Wladimir Klitschko improves to 51-3 (45 KOs).
Tony Thompson earned the biggest payday of his career, bringing home $500,000, while dropping his record to 31-2 (19 KOs). When he gets a chance to review the tape, I am sure he will regret not capitalizing on a legitimate opportunity of beating the, in my opinion, very over-rated Wladimir Klitschko.
Wladimir Klitschko had a brilliant amateur career. He is a two-time World Heavyweight Champion and currently holds three World Titles and is the closest Heavyweight we have to a Unified Heavyweight Champion Of The World today.
Why is it then do I (from my dealings and or conversations) and so many others believe that Klitschko is not what we truly want as our Heavyweight Champion Of The World?
He certainly has the pedigree. As a pro, he has fought everyone put in front of him and for the most part, has not dodged anyone. He has come up off the canvas to win. He has avenged his loss to Lamon Brewster and has fought over 20 of his fights against either Top-Ten World Ranked fighters, World Title Challengers and former or current World Heavyweight Champions. He always comes to fight in great shape. He is a good guy. He does great things for the community. He is intelligent. He is good looking. He is marketable.
Then whats the problem?
In my opinion, what Wladimir is lacking is the simple fact that he is not a character. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, John L Sullivan, Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, Sonny Liston, to name a few, were all characters. They were World Heavyweight Champions that people related to for some reason or another. They were fighters that people either loved or loved to hate. Some did good things, some did bad things, some did crazy things or did things for a purpose, but anyway you looked at it, all people, not just boxing people knew who they were and what they stood for.
They were the Heavyweight Champion Of The World. They were the toughest man on the planet and most people, regardless of their race, religion, age or status in society, could relate and follow these past greats. When these types of Champions held the most sought after title in the World, EVERYONE could tell you who the World Heavyweight Champion was. How many non-boxing people can tell you that Wladimir Klitschko is the closest man we have right now that can or should be labeled The Heavyweight Champion Of The World?
Wladimir is missing something. He is not the best fighter out there. After watching his fight with Thompson, I for one am convinced that most heavyweights out there right now, in the top five in ANY of the four major sanctioning bodies, can beat him. He does not come across as being un-stoppable. He does not come across, as being over powering, when based on his size and athletic ability, should be. He is not a guy that puts fear in other fighters, nor does he get the buzz around him as did past World Heavyweight Champions.
Although Wladimir Klitschko has plenty of character, he is not a character. I believe that this is the biggest reason he does not have nor received the recognition that he may deserve. Then again, I for one think he is extremely over-rated. I think he is just holding onto the titles until the real World Heavyweight Champion Of The World emerges. Who, when and where that will be, is still anyones guess. Hopefully, Wladimir is NOT the best out there because if he is, the Heavyweight Division is in trouble for a long time.
I am VERY curious to hear feedback on this. I want to know what you think. Let me know if I am wrong, right, or better yet, I want to know what you think the problem may be. I encourage anyone who cares to voice his or her opinion to drop me an email at email@example.com.
And while you are at it, am I the only one who thinks its about time, and long over due that Larry Merchant retire
for real? Does he make any sense anymore?

Stefan Gartrell might be trying to make his game more than just that of a power hitter, but he still knows how to blast a home run.
And with 16 on the season entering Thursday, the Gwinnett Braves outfielder was selected as one of the three International League's participants in the Triple-A All-Star Game's Home Run Derby.
The Derby is Monday at 9 p.m. at Salt Lake City's Spring Mobile Ballpark.
Gartrell, one of four Gwinnett Braves players on the IL's All-Star roster, was traded to the G-Braves from Charlotte earlier this season. Along with home runs, Gartrell also leads the G-Braves with 23 doubles, is second with 54 RBIs.
Joining Gartrell from the IL in the Derby is Charlotte Knight Dayan Viciedo, who has 15 home runs on the season and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's Jorge Vazquez, the IL leader with 20 homers.
The three from the Pacific Coast League, traditionally a power-friendly league, are Iowa's Bryan LaHair with 24, Albuquerque's Trayvon Robinson with 20 and host Salt Lake's Jeff Baisley with 17.
The Triple-A All-Star Game is Wednesday at 9 p.m. and will air on MLB Network.

West Georgia Oncology – a new West Georgia Physicians clinic – officially threw its arms open Tuesday to embrace its new director, Dr. Wassim McHayleh, with an open house.
For Dr. McHayleh, this is just another point in a long journey that brought him to sunny Georgia all the way from sunny Beirut, Lebanon. A native of Lebanon, Dr. McHayleh began studying medicine at St. Joseph University in Beirut, a Jesuit school considered one of the best universities in the Middle East.
His residency brought him to Washington, D.C. where he served at George Washington University Medical Center then to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center where he studied oncology and hematology. After practicing privately in Thomasville, Georgia, McHayleh served as an assistant professor of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University in Atlanta before being tapped as the Director of Oncology Services here.
He's only been here two months and of LaGrange he says, "I love it. It's awesome."
"I get the feeling of family," McHayleh says of the staff of the cancer center. And the staff has embraced him fully.
"He brings empathy and compassion," declares Charlene McClanahan, who has been working to build the staff of the cancer center. Dr. McHayleh's installation is a crowning achievement for the hospital and LaGrange as a whole, she says.
Catennia Foster, the center's infusion tech speaks glowingly of the staff's new head, "he's very nice and knowledgeable."
"If I have to go through this again," says cancer care navigator, Wanda Lowe, referring to her own former battle with cancer, "I know who I'm going to. He's very personable and he's very attached to the staff."
Lowe bubbles over with energy and joy as she talks about Dr. McHayleh and the new cancer center which is situated in the space that once served as the hospital's Emergency Department. The space has been remodelled as a state of the art oncology infusion center for handling both radiation treatments and chemotherapy.
She notes that all the staff is specially certified for dealing with cancer patients and that the clinic is fully "scrutinized and certified" by the Commission on Cancer.
The center is bright, airy and cheerful. The enthusiasm the staff expresses for their work and each other is infectious. All around, the staff and the new director smile and laugh.
A former cancer patient attending the open house described cancer treatment as a necessary poison. He continued, "if you have to be poisoned, this is the place to do it."

The Heat of Summerton
America's most famous school desegregation cases didn't begin in Topeka, Kansas. The five cases that were consolidated into Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas actually began in rural Clarendon County, South Carolina.
The first case originated in a little town called Summerton and the surrounding flat farmland in the deep east-central part of the state.
Led by a country preacher and schoolteacher named Joseph De Laine, African-American families challenged the community's white establishment and Southern way of life, and would end up changing the world. Yet even though these families paved the way for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the integration of public institutions throughout the South and other parts of the country, in the end they largely failed to change the plight of black schoolchildren in their own town. Fifty years after the Brown decision, the schools in Summerton remain almost completely segregated by race. This has helped keep generations of black residents undereducated and the town's economy suspended in time.
Inspired by a speech he heard in Columbia by the state NAACP president, the Rev. De Laine returned home to Summerton in 1947 determined to challenge how local black children were educated in Clarendon County--in deplorable old buildings with outdated textbooks. First, De Laine convinced a farmer named Levi Pearson from a nearby crossroads called Davis Station to file a lawsuit demanding that local school leaders pay for repairs on a school bus that transported black children from the distant countryside into Summerton for high school. The case was dismissed on a technicality, but laid the groundwork for what would become Briggs v. Elliott--the first of the Brown cases.
Black parents in Summerton, meanwhile, had grown tired of a high school principal they believed was incompetent and corrupt. They accused the man of charging improper fees for diplomas and for providing academic courses that didn't even compare favorably with black schools in neighboring areas. The group wanted the principal fired, and they questioned in meetings at local churches why their school system had to be lacking in every way. At one of those organizing meetings, the parents convinced De Laine to take charge of their movement, records show. Later, he and several key plaintiffs in the case met with a young lawyer named Thurgood Marshall. One night in 1949, parents and students gathered in Summerton at the home of gas-station attendant Harry Briggs and his wife, Eliza, a motel housekeeper, to sign a petition that would land on the steps of the Supreme Court.
Once the Briggs case gained national publicity, tensions began to run high in Summerton. Most of the parents who signed on to the case lost their jobs or were threatened with firings, and some were evicted from their tenant homes or sharecropper land. De Laine's own remarkable story may be familiar to scholars and students of the civil rights movement, but remains largely unknown even to many South Carolinians. His family's home in Summerton was torched, the family believes, and white firefighters allowed it to burn as horrified black residents watched.
Later, after the Brown decision, a suspicious fire broke out at De Laine's church in Lake City. A few days later, drive-by gunmen attacked the family's new home in Lake City. De Laine fired back that night in 1955, wounding some of the men in the car. He fled the same night to Florence, and the next day traveled to New York City, where he would become a pastor in Queens and where he remained, despite South Carolina's unsuccessful attempts to extradite him to face five charges of assault and battery with intent to kill. He led churches in the city and in Buffalo before retiring to Charlotte, North Carolina. He returned to his native South Carolina and Clarendon County only as a fugitive, and in secret--including one visit for his mother's funeral, relatives say. De Laine would be posthumously pardoned in 2000, and federal lawmakers recently voted to award him the Congressional Gold Medal.

Act II
Lillas Pastia's tavern on the outskirts of Sevilla.
Carmen and her friends Frasquita and Mercédès sing and dance for Zuniga, Moralès, the soldiers, and other gypsies at the tavern (Chanson bohème: "
Les Tringles des sistres tintaient"). When the dance is over, Frasquita reports that the tavern must close up by order of the magistrate. Zuniga invites the women to come with them, but Frasquita says they will stay, and Carmen will not answer. Zuniga accuses Carmen of being annoyed with him because José is in prison. Then he informs her that José is now free, and Carmen is happy to hear it. As the soldiers are leaving, cheering is heard in the distance. Everyone joins in as Escamillo the matador sweeps in and recounts his latest triumph in the corrida, singing the famed "
Toréador Song" ("
Votre toast"). He is immediately drawn to Carmen and gallantly asks her name so that he might have it on his lips during his next bullfight. She plays hard-to-get but flirts with him nonetheless, annoying Zuniga, who leaves in a huff. Escamillo then departs, surrounded by his crowd of admirers.
Carmen, Frasquita, and Mercédès meet with their coconspirators, Le Dancaïre and Le Remendado, to plan a smuggling operation (Quintet: "
Quand il s'agit de tromperie"). But Carmen will not join them in their venture, because she is in love. The others tease her, but she is resolute. As she explains that the man she loves is a soldier who went to prison for her, José is heard singing a dragoon song in the distance. The gypsies look outside; Frasquita and Mercédès think him handsome, and Dancaïre thinks he will make a good smuggler. Carmen promises to try to persuade him to come. The others then leave her to meet José alone.
José is thrilled to see Carmen again after two months in prison, but he becomes jealous when she tells him that she sang and danced for the soldiers. To calm him, she begins to dance for him, playing castanets. He interrupts her when he hears a bugle blowing, but Carmen thinks it a fine accompaniment and keeps dancing. José now insists that he must go to his quarters. Carmen flies into a rage and tells him that he does not really love her. To convince her that he does, he shows her the flower she threw to him and declares his passion for her (Flower Song: "
La Fleur que tu m'avais jetée").
Carmen says he must prove his love by coming with her to the mountains to live a life of freedom. He nearly succumbs to her but rouses himself and bids her farewell. As he is leaving, however, Zuniga knocks at the door. When no one opens it, he bursts in, sees José, and drunkenly chides Carmen for choosing a common soldier over an officer. He orders José to leave, but José refuses, and the men begin to fight. Carmen calls for help. Dancaïre, Remendado, and the rest of the gypsies appear and disarm Zuniga. Carmen mocks Zuniga for his bad timing, for now they must keep him with them to avoid being caught. Zuniga submits with good grace and is escorted out. At this point, José has no choice but to accompany the gypsies.

Hands-on Gear Review
Compare climbing ropes (dynamic) ratings side-by-side >
Street Price: Varies from $120 - $150 | Compare prices at 3 resellers
Pros: Inexpensive, lighter than other ropes of its diameter, no chemical treatments make it more environmentally friendly
Cons: Kinky, not very durable
Best Uses: All-around climbing
Manufacturer: Beal
The Beal Edlinger is an excellent workhorse climbing rope that is versatile enough to be used for any kind of climbing you may be interested in, from multi-pitch to extended top-roping. It is on the inexpensive side, is lightweight for its diameter (65 g/m), and is now made eco-friendly without chemical surface treatments. This main downsides to this rope are that it can stay kinky longer than other new ropes, and it is not as durable as other workhorse ropes like the Sterling Marathon Pro or the all-around rope and Editor's Choice winner, the Mammut Infinity. We would pick the Bluewater Eliminator over this one, which is just slightly lighter for a 10.2 rope.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
Performance Comparison
10.2 Workhorse Rope
This rope is inexpensive and light for its diameter, which makes for less weight to lug up the approach. By comparison, the Maxim Equinox, which is also a 10.2, weighs 66 g/m, but the Beal Edlinger weighs 65 g/m. It is shown up just slightly by the BlueWater Eliminator which weighs in at 64 g/m.
Beal offers ropes with a low impact force, which means that falls feel very soft and cushioned. One downside to the ECO manufacturing process is that it does not have the same low impact force as other ropes by the same brand, so the catch on the Edlinger is not as soft.
We found this rope to be much kinkier than other new ropes we were testing, and it remained that way longer. This made the glide through the belay devices much more jerky and less smooth than with some of the easy to handle ropes, such as the Sterling Fusion Nano.
This rope began to ovalize right away. This is usually a sign that a rope is in need of retirement, but this began in the first few days of use. Because of its ECO label, this rope has a thinner sheath than other Beal ropes, so it may not last as long as ones with a thicker exterior.
Options and Other Verisons
Beal offers a huge range of options and choices for their ropes. The Edlinger comes in just about any length option you desire, from 50 meters to 80 meters, and even up to a spool of 200 meters for gyms. A new option available is to purchase your rope with an RFID microchip embedded in the end to allow you to trace your rope and the number of falls caught on it.
Our review rope for this review was bright purple, which we liked. It was more unique than most of the other rope colors and added a fun, bright element to the days spent climbing with it. Beal in general has fun color options for their ropes, and in the words of one tester "when you look down at your rope, and it makes you happy, you are more likely to send!"
Lastly, the Edlinger is now made ECO. This means the rope was not given any chemical treatments, so the sheath is thinner, it is cheaper to produce, and more environmentally friendly. The downside is that the impact force goes up, so falls are less cushioned.
Best Application
This rope is a good all-around climbing rope. At 10.2 it could be used for anything from jugging to multi-pitch climbs to cragging. If you only want to own one climbing rope, enjoy all types of climbing, and are concerned about your environmental impact, this is an excellent choice.
This rope is one of the least expensive ropes, costing only $140 for a standard 60 meter, which for the budget shopper is enticing. Due to the lack of surface treatments, it can be manufactured at a lower cost. However, this rope would not last as long as some of the other ropes which are only slightly more expensive. For a workhorse rope we recommend the Sterling Marathon-Pro or the Bluewater Eliminator.

Lightning as a Family Daysailer?
Go for the Lightning. The cockpit is big enough to allow the kids to invite friends, and the existing fleet will provide boats for you to buy AND a market if you decide to sell later. Racing can be a good way to meet new friends and keep daysails from becoming boring to soon-to-be-teenagers. The large sail area is great for keeping moving when the wind is light, and stunning performance if it picks up (planing with just the main&jib is a real trip!!) The hard-chine hull provides excellent initial stability, so you have enough time to react to puffs (or lulls) that lakes are notorious for. (Round-chined dinghies tend to be crewed by guys in wetsuits.)
I''ve found Lightnings very comfortable to crew on because of the seats inboard (use the coaming for a backrest), the wide side decks (don''t cut off circulation) and the nice, flat foredeck. (great for stretching out in the shade of the jib if there''s no breeze), Lightnings are also beautiful to look at. Few boats that will meet your needs so easily can make that claim as well.

Road of Mourning
Mountain Road in Anne Arundel County, also known as state Route 177, has seen at least 20 people — many in their teens or only a little older — killed along the 11-mile stretch since the early 1990s. Mountain Road is representative of a class of once-pastoral suburban byways that now bear increasing traffic loads with little room to grow.

Re: New Dodger
You are getting a list of great ideas.
You might not be able to do this without redoing the stainless tubing. I'm tall, my wife is short. We set the dodger height so that standing at the wheel she can see thru the windows, and I over it. Sitting on the rail we both can see through it. A separate handle(s) are very helpful. It's hard to stand behind the dodger and not grab it anyway, so might as well have a good spot to grab.
If you have lines lead aft as we do, we had some pockets built in on the sides of the dodger to put excess lines in.
I like a zip out window forward as well, so on a hot day on anchor I can get a breeze through easily without dropping the whole mess down.

Mesquite steering toward residential street bond election
Cities in Eastern Dallas County are trying to make up ground in infrastructure needs. In the pinch of a recession and declining property values, they maintained service levels (kept police on the streets and libraries open) as streets, particularly residential streets, decayed over the last decade.
Mesquite staff on Monday night presented scenarios of $10-$100 million to the city council in anticipation of a November bond election for streets.
More than 130 of the city's 325 miles of residential streets have been downgraded in recent years. Its streets average 35 years of age with 56 percent of them aged 40 years or older.
If approved by voters, the city plans to borrow the money over a 20-year period and increase taxes in 2017, 2019 and 2021. The total tax rate impact is projected to be 1.5 cents per $100 valuation if the city borrows $10 million and 6.2 cents per $100 valuation with a $100 million bond.
Mesquite evaluates and provides one of four grades to each street. Even at $100 million, 80.5 miles, not all of its lowest-grade residential streets would be fixed.
Council has until August to determine whether to call the election and which of five propsed levels of debt ($10, $30, $50, $75 or $100 million) to pursue.

Talk about some last minute playtime!
Charlize Theron and her son, Jackson, were minutes away from boarding a private jet at a Los Angeles airport. But before bags were checked and seatbelts were fastened, the mother-son duo squeezed in a little fun and games near the tarmac.
Wearing a denim skirt and a striped T-Shirt, Theron playfully picked up her son and lifted him high up to the sky. She would later carry him over her shoulders, even pretending to let him slip.
Jackson, who was seen holding a Toy Story toy for the plane ride, couldn't stop laughing and smiling as his mom joked around with him.
PHOTOS: The fashion spotlight is on Charlize Theron
Where the tight-knit family is traveling to is anyone's guess. However, with Theron celebrating her 38th birthday today, we have no doubts the destination won't disappoint. Just last weekend, the actress enjoyed an early celebration in Italy with close friends.
When it comes to the actual day, however, the birthday girl is choosing to spend it with those who matter most…her family!
Happy birthday, girl! Enjoy the day with the ones you love.

RAC Bulletin 2011-043E - Distribution of ARES merchandise
Now that CaféPress has been introduced, you will notice a temporary absence of many of our ARES products. I am working on a process that will permit control over who wears ARES apparel including vests, shirts, pins, crests, shirts and so on. Items that are currently available only from the Chief Field Services Officer (VPFS) are as follows:
I am sure you will understand the importance of managing these items in a prudent manner. In today's ever changing Emcomm environment, credentialing has become crucial, and when you present yourself as an ARES Emcomm operator, you are seen as responsible, trained, dependable, affiliated with RAC and ready to assist when called. For all of these reasons, it's important to know who is wearing our apparel. Stay tuned!

Ateneo gives UST reality check in PCCL finals Game 2
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – University of Santo Tomas got a harsh reminder Thursday that nothing ever comes easy against Ateneo.
The Growling Tigers were a game away from clinching its first PCCL title, and some sort of payback for the UAAP finals loss — but a 17-point lead by the Blue Eagles was what welcomed them in game two.
Jeric Teng, the squad's star gunner who has been playing phenomenal in the PCCL, admitted that they were surprised.
"We were surprised. They really wanted this game and we were caught off guard," Teng told INQUIRER.net after the 69-70 heartbreaker of a loss. "In the first half, all of their shots were falling in."
Characteristically, UST managed to regroup and pull of a stunning comeback it is very familiar of — from an 11-28 disadvantage to a 59-57 edge with eight minutes left on the clock.
But in the end, it wasn't actually the horrendous start that doomed the Tigers.
To start off was the departure of Cameroonian center Karim Abdul after a blocking foul on Greg Slaughter plus a technical for continuously complaining.
Even assistant coach Gabby Severino knows that Abdul's fouling out with under five minutes to go was "big."
And then it was that split second of confusion that ultimately proved costly.
With under 20 seconds to go and a 69-68 lead, UST had a chance to seal the victory but wasn't able to make most of the possession. Kevin Ferrer, who received the ball off the inbound with a second left to shoot, threw up a shot that didn't hit the rim.
The Growling Tigers stopped for a moment, anticipating a 24-second shotclock violation that didn't come.
The Blue Eagles, with commendable presence of mind, pounced on that moment and Kiefer Ravena was left all alone for the game-clincher with 11.4 seconds to go.
Teng was convinced that it should've been a violation, "we thought na hindi talaga umabot. He fumbled the ball, then airball then rebound — hindi talaga aabot sa one second."
But Teng and UST know that all they could do now is prepare for game three, and try to steal the championship away from Ateneo — for the second time this year.
"Ateneo's really a strong team even without coach Norman. Coaches are really good. Siguro they're our toughest opponent all throughout the year.
"Minimal nalang preparation namin eh, alam na namin isa't isa," Teng said.
A fitting ending to a budding rivalry, game three, is set exactly a week from now at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

"Terrible customer service and they charge the credit card even if they don't have the item in stock. It is impossible to get an actual update, just automatically generated e-mails stating they will be in touch...

"Purchased Savage Arms 93R17 GVXP gun/scope package. Prior to purchasing, inquired about scope manufacturer and was told Nikon. Arrived with a Bushnell Sharpshooter. Pissed but made the mistake of giving it a try. Subsequently, I've discovered that this model scope has been discontinued for retail sales but is being produced for use in Savage's gun/scope packages. It is not available for sale anywhere and is shown as a legacy model on Bushnell's website. WTF? At the range, found entire scope mount to be loose - two-piece base mounting screws were loose (scope was factory mounted and bore-sighted). Now I know why neither Savage or other sellers come clean about the specifics of this gun/scope package. The scope is a cheap, poor quality waste of money. Savage did admit to making a switch from Simmons to Bushnell in 2014 - still different from what I was told. I hate lawyers but take their advice and get it in writing before you buy. Lastly, KGC will not post a factual, albeit somewhat negative product review that I submitted! That should give you a clue as to the type outfit your dealing with."
"Slow slow customer service that costs me two Sig Mag.
x- around Dec 2, 2013 I ordered a Sig229 , and it was shipped to my FFL without 2 13-rd mag since they claimed they did not get the high-cap mag permit from my FFL ( i checked my FFL, and he said they sent it already.)
x- On Dec 26th, 2013, i opened a case with them and provided high-cap Mag permit to the KYgun on the same day trying to beat the deadline of Jan 1 2014 when high-cap Mag parts are not allowed to ship in state of California;
x- pretty Easy, huh??
x- NO!! i do not know what was going on, i never got a clear answer for the mags. I tried emails and phone with Eric a few times, he kept telling me he would check on it,
x- Late Jan in 2014, i made the final attempt - instead of calling customer service, i called up the shipping department to find out what's going on. They told me they only found one Mag and did not know where the other was... (YEAH!!)
x- they sent the one mag to the FFL, and my FFL told me it had passed the deadline, i cannot get it. If the Mags were sent out around Dec 26, i would have got them.
x- this is not the end of the story ...
i feel it is their fault that i did not get the mags. i wrote my last email to them about the possible solutions: either send me 2 10-rd mag, or convert the 2 sig mags to store credit for my next purchase. Guess what, i did not hear anything from them!
That is it, i am done with https://www.kygunco.com.
x- i got contacted by it one or two day after i posted here, they agreed to send me a check for the mag....
x- As of now April 15th, 2014, i am still waiting.
"I ordered from them twice, but cancelled both orders within a few days of placing them. As per their terms it takes 5-7 days for them to ship your order and I accept that, but that's 5-7 days for me to do more shopping/comparing and in both cases I found a comparable deal with product in hand within 48 hours of placing the order. "
"Bought and Paid for my AR Lower... had a FFL that was new to them... The FFL has spent almost two months now repeatedly sending them faxes and emails with his FFL info and they are still saying they have not received it and have not sent me my lower. I already bought a replacement and at this point in time I am just waiting for them to honor their deal."
"Beware of this company and their bait and switch tactics. I received a quote price on a glock 19. I received an email on 12/7 stating the price was 509.99. The quote stated the price quote was good for 5 days. When I placed my order on 12/12 I was charged 539.99. They will not honor their price quote!!!
12/16 updated - KGC has communicated that they will refund the $30 difference. I will say that it took several emails to get this accomplished. I think that most people are pleased with the company and the prices they offer but if you receive a quote please be aware that you may face some difficulties. "
" I have nothing but great things to say about my experience in dealing with KYGUNCO. Great pricing, great customer service,Great delivery times! My last purchase only took 12 days from order to delivory( and that included a weekend),I'd call that fast by any standard!Would I buy again form KYGUNCO? You bet I will."
"Very fair pricing plus personable, professional and prompt communication throughout the research, purchase and shipping processes are why I'm currently buying another gun from them within 30 days of my most recent purchase. Patrick and his colleagues like Renea deliver as much as (and often more than) they promise. Finding and working with online sellers whom I can trust is such a treat!"
"AWESOME!!!! Kentucky Gun Company is a great place to find what you are looking for a good price. The service was excellent, and so was the communication. Definitely bookmarked and will continue to do business with them. "
"I ordered a gun from them and less than a week later price went down and they would not give me the lower price!!!!! Talked to them and have not gotten a response!!!! When I first called To see about the price adjustment I was told no they would not refund the difference because the guns were in different condition in the Taurus blem.That was on 10/22.I did not hear anything til the 23rd after I emailed again to see what their decision was.Then I got a e mail saying that I was going to receive a credit.I am not being impatience,It should of been taken care of the first time that I called. They did refund the difference back to me and I have received lots of follow up calls and e mails from them since they have. "
"I have visited the Ky Gun Co site numerous times and have always found their prices to be competitive. Their inventory is good and their website is very well laid out and easy to navigate. When I was finally ready to purchase I did so without hesitation. The transaction was easy and went as expected.
I checked back a week later and the price of what I bought had lowered. All I had to do was ask and they matched their new even lower price. "
"I will do business with these guys again! Super fast shipping, responsive customer service, and a great price to boot! Thanks! SG"
"Outstanding company to do business with. Great communication & fast shipping. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Kentucky Gun Co."
"Changed this from a "burning" review I gave a few days ago due to the fact that the KyGunCo finally figured out I had actually paid the amount owed via a check issued and sent by my bank. The KyGunCo claimed via an email that I was still short $200...got the UPS notification that it's on the way to my FFL...if it's in good shape, it's a keeper...they really need to work on their tracking of payments after a person creates an account and get away from this "2 week" wait for a check to "clear"...the check sent had cleared my bank 2 days after they deposited it in their bank...not enough time? Plus it was a bank issued check not a personal check...whatever...at least they figured it out..."
"Made my first online purchase last friday. Pistol shipped on monday and arrived at my FFL yesterday. I DROS'ed it today. The gun was immaculate and as described. I decided to pay with my cc so I had to pay the 3% service charge. I also paid the $12.50 insurance for the shipping. They used USPS priority mail so it took 3 days to get to the FFL. I guess this is how they save money (on their free shipping).
I used to buy my guns from Buds, but I shall no longer be using them (their lag time is longer than this). Kygunco will get more of my business in the future.
My rating for their prices reflect the fact that I paid the cc fee and insurance. I also had to pay state taxes so my total savings compared to buying locally is only ~ $80.00. Your savings will be significantly greater if you don't have to pay sales taxes and pay with a money order or cashier's check. "
