Updated from 9:07 a.m. ET to include information on American Woodmark.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- These stocks were making headlines ahead of Tuesday's opening bell:
American Woodmark (AMWD - Get Report):
Shares of the Winchester, Va.-based kitchen cabinet company jumped before the open after the company posted first-quarter earnings of $1 million, or 7 cents a share, as net sales jumped 13% year-over-year to $148.3 million.Wall Street was looking for a loss of 3 cents a share in the quarter on sales of $138.2 million. The stock rose more than 11% to $20.37. Barnes & Noble (BKS - Get Report): The book seller is getting a boost in early action after reporting a narrower than expected loss in its fiscal first quarter with same-store sales getting a boost from strong demand for the Fifty Shades of Grey series by E.L. James. The company said it lost $41 million, or 78 cents a share, in the July-ended quarter on sales of $1.45 billion, besting the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for a loss of 98 cents a share on sales of $1.48 billion. Comparable bookstore sales rose 4.6% in the quarter, and the company's NOOK e-reader business brought in revenue of $192 million. "During the first quarter, we continued to see improvement in both our rapidly growing NOOK business, which saw digital content sales increase 46% during the quarter, and at our bookstores, which continue to benefit from market consolidation and strong sales of the Fifty Shades series," said William Lynch, the company's CEO, in a press release. "The growth in comps at retail and the continued strong growth of our digital content business, as well as increased cost management focus, were drivers in the business turning from an EBITDA

RESPONSE: "In Bill We Trust". Obviously, BB sees things differently. Mighty, no matter how you slice it, the Pats had to try to upgrade the OLB position. The guys they currently have aren't cutting it.
Dillon may have helped in the regular season but he didn't do much in the AFC championship or the super bowl. And an extra 2nd round pick may very well have helped us get that elusive 4th ring during the past 4 agonizing years of disappointment.
RESPONSE: You have a short memory in regards to Dillon's accomplishments with the Pats, my friend. Who can forget how he steamrolled over the hated Colts in the 4th quarter during the 2004 playoffs? The guy had one brilliant season, and two other solid years. He averaged 12 rushing TDs per season, and rarely fumbled: http://www.nfl.com/players/coreydillon/profile?id=DIL255767.
As to whether the late 2nd rounder in 2004 would have been a factor in later years, you fail to take into account that Dillon was a factor from 2004-2006, and that the 2004 draft class was extremely weak, depth-wise. Go back and check the players taken that year...and you'll how very few of the players taken after the 2nd round "Dillon slot" made any impact in the league.

Mighty...Burgess may or may not be the answer. But he was the best available option to fill a desparate need...and was obtained at a reasonable price.

When it comes to the Comedy Central cartoon "South Park," all bets are off when it comes to what it satirizes and whoallegedly launched a secret investigation to see what dirt it could dig up on "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Rathbun says that according to his anonymous sources, Scientology investigators looked through the "South Park" writers' trash, as well as their "phone records, bank records, and personal letters that expose some kind of vulnerability." According to Rathbun, the episode in question was called "Trapped in a Closet." In it, cartoon Scientologists called the religion "for-profit con" and "crap." Famous Scientologists John Travolta and Tom Cruise were also made fun of. The episode caused such a stir among Scientologists that Scientologist singer-actor Isaac Hayes, who voiced the "South Park" character Chef, quit the show. According to the blog post, an internal leaked memo hints that the investigation fizzled out because it wasn't going anywhere. The Church of Scientology did not respond to our request for comment. We also spoke with Rathbun, who told us that more information about the investigation will be revealed later this week. What do you think about this alleged investigation? Tell us on Facebook and Twitter!
Next up, the age-old battle between Halloween and dentists continues. This year one Ohio dentist is upping the ante. Craig Callen is offering kids $1 per pound of unopened candy for up to five pounds. To sweeten the deal, the dentist is even throwing in a toothbrush. Callen says in addition to tooth decay, candy doled out on Halloween can lead to hyperactivity, weight gain, and damage to braces. Callen and his associates will pay up to $1,000 in candy buybacks. When kids come to collect, they'll be entered into a drawing to win a bicycle. If kids aren't able to make the drop, Callen says the best way to prevent tooth decay is visiting a dentist twice a year--and brushing your teeth of course.

Attack of the Weirdos: The EP
Federation Records
Damned if the Midwest isn't the most jinxed hip-hop region in the country. While the New York/Los Angeles stranglehold on the rap game seems a distant memory, thanks to the rise of powerful scenes in New Orleans, Richmond, San Francisco, and Atlanta, most Midwestern cities (Chicago being a possible exception) can't seem to get over an inability to send upstart artists to hip hop's big leagues. That trend may end, however, with the emergence of a diverse Detroit scene that includes Native Tongues-styled Slum Village and a contingent of pseudo-comical "horror rappers" led by Eminem and Bizarre.
Eminem has already become a star with underground heads and the white hip-hop kids increasingly known as "backpackers"; his cameos on Dr. Dre's upcoming Chronic 2000 album attests to that. Yet buddy Bizarre has yet to land a record deal; hence this excellent, independent seven-song EP. Anyone familiar with Eminem's absurdly violent story-raps knows exactly what to expect from Bizarre.
The heavyset MC's bass-filled voice is uniquely tinged with a slight lisp--sort of a cross between Eric Sermon in delivery and Scarface in style. And, true to the horror-rap m.o., there's plenty of grim humor thrown into each of his rhymes. The EP's master opus, "Trife Thieves" (a posse cut featuring Bizarre, Eminem, and Fuzz), makes the tape a worthwhile pursuit. Bizarre's slower, heavy tones serve as the yin to Eminem's high-pitched, up-tempo yang. All three lyricists play well off of one another, each working to outbrag and out-tough the next.
Bizarre begins the rant: "If I don't get all my fuckin' dough/Y'all gonna see more fights than in the Jerry Springer show...I'm the illest rapper to come out thus far/I'll shoot anybody, even the bitch that gave me CPR." He's quickly followed by Eminem, who raps, "You hate on us/And we'll be waitin' on eight corners/Swarming your hood with a thousand angry skateboarders/This place is my house/I might as well erase my face with Wite-Out/Cause y'all can't see me, like Mase's eyebrows."
The crew goes on to fire venom-tinged barbs at everyone from Canibus to the Oklahoma City bombing victims. Throughout, they display the sharp lyrics and tight delivery that is sure to make the Motor City the capital of the "dirtier Midwest." And even if Bizarre rarely mentions his hometown by name, the spare production--mainly simple basslines and piano chords--distinguishes it from the funk-laden descendants of West Coast gangstas that this new school is likely to be compared to. Unlike the Detroit area's famously inept Insane Clown Posse, Bizarre and his crew display true talent as MCs, and, more often than not, their lyrics seem more geared toward creating knee-slapping laughter than inspiring fear.

Article Summary
Yoav Messer Architects' competition-winning "Econtainer Bridge" will become what could well be the first bridge to be made from disused shipping containers. The bridge will cross the Ayalon River granting entry to the planned Ariel Sharon Park which will transform 2,000 acres of the Hiriya waste dump into a nature reserve to the southeast of Tel Aviv.

The Holocaust in Russia, Photographed
The Soviet Union obscured victims' Jewishness
A forthcoming book details the official Soviet practice of explaining photographs of Jewish victims of the Nazis—among the first visual documents of the Holocaust—as evidence not of anti-Jewish violence but of broader malevolence toward "the Soviet people," whose country the Germans invaded in 1941.
Even more poignantly: The photographs were almost always taken by Jews.
David Shneer, a professor at the University of Colorado, writes in Through Soviet Jewish Eyes that the Soviet government wanted citizens to view these products of its nearly all-Jewish corps of photojournalists and believe that the Nazis had not distinguished among their victims.
"During World War II," an article about the book in Colorado Arts & Sciences Magazine reports, "the Soviets saw an advantage in framing the Nazi assault as being against the entire nation, not just Jewish people. As Shneer observes, there was a rationale: 'Do you think a bunch of Russian peasants wanted to go fight a war because of Jews?'"
Take the photograph above. It was originally captioned, "Kerch resident P.I. Ivanova found her husband, who was tortured by the fascist executioners." There is no note of the fact that her husband was likely one of 7,500 Kerch Jews murdered, for being Jews, before the Red Army retook that southern city.
Another, similar photograph was captioned, "V.S. Tereshchenko digs under bodies for her husband. On the right: the body of 67-year-old I. Kh. Kogan." The name Tereshchenko (a Ukrainian surname) is still alive; the Kogan is not.
The photographer's name? Mark Redkin.
A few months ago, Tablet Magazine editor-in-chief Alana Newhouse looked at how Roman Vishniac's famous photographs have also been put to use crafting an alternate narrative for the Jews of Europe.

MASON COUNTY — The majority of Mason County families can expect their students to travel the same bus routes this year at the start of school on Aug. 14, with one route exception.
Larry Wright, Mason County Schools director of transportation, said there will be one bus route eliminated this school year.
"We did do away with one route, Bus No. 144, so it's going to be shared by three or four bus drivers," he said.
Wright said the bus route is eliminated this year primarily because of recent budget cuts and the need to cut back on expenses that aren't crucial to student needs.
"Each area has to cut back, and we felt that we could delete that route and still fulfill the needs of the children," he said.
Wright also said that since a few bus drivers have retired this year, there will be substitute drivers on some of the routes.
Additionally, as a reminder to students and families, Wright said state law requires students to be at their designated stop five minutes before the bus arrives to pick them up
Some bus routes and bus times may change prior to the start of school on Aug. 14, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts.
The following are the school bus routes, the drivers, the driver's phone numbers, some of the roads that they will be traveling and the times for pick-up:

text: Hi, I live in a relatively flat area outside the city and I'm looking to get my first bike in 20+ years. Since the area is flat, and I'm not expecting to often bicycle more than 3-5 miles, I'm thinking a cruiser or something similar is what I need. What would you guys recommend. I was a bit overwhelmed at the local Agees and Rowletts. Any particular brand or model you'd suggest? The kicker is, I want to spend UNDER $300, which kills a lot of my choices. Anyway, hope you have some ideas.:confused:

We had a cat with ongoing crystal formation problems, so we tried this once we got him weaned off the prescription diet. He never had a full-blown attack after starting this, but there were some times when we had to alter his diet just to be safe. He was better on this than on regular commercial food. Just monitor your cat to be sure
Pros: Help with crystals
Cons: none

Skateboarders honored at history museum
Saturday - 6/22/2013, 6:14pm EDT
WASHINGTON - The names Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and Laura Thornhill will go down in skateboarding history. And on Saturday, their boards got their due in the National Museum of American History.
"We're living examples of not listening to the haters," Hawk said at the event. He gave the museum the now-faded, skinny, blue skateboard he started on in 1977 - but not before he did a couple of runs on it up and down the ramp set up outside the museum.
Skater Patti McGee, the first national women's champion, gave the museum the board she used back in 1965. Today's donations double the Smithsonian's collection of boards.
Mullen was also named a Smithsonian fellow. To say he was stoked would be putting it mildly: "To see the generations, all these kids, it's so humbling."
Jackson Tankersley, 13, felt the same way after Mullen signed his board. "I read his biography, and he's one of the greatest people, and it's awesome to meet him."

I need to compile several c++ projects using the version 6.0 compiler. Is there any way to compile my projects using the visual c++ 2008 express edition compiler. In java, there is a command to specify which version of the compiler to use on commandline, I was hoping that c++ 2008 has such a command as well.
Kind regards.

This question is kinda random,but I was wondering this today. Here is what I noticed.
Db tricep exts (40s) for 10 reps
Incline DB bench (80s) for 10 reps
My friend:
Db tricep exts (30s) for 10 reps
Incline DB bench (50s) for 10 reps
Now I know there are a ton of other factors, but I noticed im able to do about twice as much weight on the inclines, while my friend is not even close.
Is there anything to gather from this?

There is a way for more oil to reach the carb because it is making more blowby or the valves are more worn. I don't know what normal is tho. I have a little oil in that tube also. Do you know if you have the original Blowby valve, sometimes called the Turkey valve, or the updated one? I think the test for blowby will be a leak down test. Sort of like a compression test but better. You could start with a compression test if you have one of those.
Air leaks are on the down side of the carb. Above the carb, on the side that goes to the air filter, dirt or grit can get inside but this is not a vacuum leak. On the side that connects to the cylinder head is a rubber attachment tube. These get cracked and stiff with age. They can be the source of a vacuum leak that effects how the machine runs. With bike running at normal temp spray WD-40 around the carb intake tubes to see if idle changes.
That plug looks like it is getting too rich fuel. It is washed on one side by raw gas and black from burnt gas on the other. Can't think of any other reason for it to look like that. Maybe it means something else to somebody else.
When was the last time you rebuilt these carbs? New O-rings and complete cleaning. If the diaphragms really do look good you can skip them. I don't think they cause high speed misses.
I think your main complaint is the high speed miss that seems to be getting worse? You say you have reset the points? This is generally not a good idea. Points do wear and in normal operation will have a hill formed on one point and a valley on the other point. This can not be set with a feeler gauge. It can be done with a dwell meter. At this point I install new points if I think I have an ignition problem.
If you want the ignition points to last use a Dyna Booster box.
Never memorize something you can look up.

"Bugger." He shot the creature in the back, desperately trying to get it's attention, then scooped up the sword. He fumbled for a moment as the creature turned. "You're meat now." It charged him, waving it's four arms like a windmill. He ducked under the first swing, wincing as it clipped his skull, then brought the blade around in an arc, cutting a leg off. The creature did it's frenzied dance again, then lost it's balance after a left-handed shot from his Jericho punched through it's belly, dropping it onto it's spidery-abdomen. He moved forward to finish the job.
The creature wasn't done yet. One fist shot up, catching the blade, another striking him in the shoulder. Something popped and he was suddenly several feet away, the sword - along with one of the monster's legs and three of it's fingers, and his Jericho, discarded on the ground several feet away. He tried to push himself to his feet, but his right arm wasn't moving properly.
Bastard dislocated it.
"Dania, get the sword!" He was bad enough with blades with his right hand anyway. He grabbed a stake from his jacket and flung it with all his might, trying to keep the monster preoccupied with him. The wooden shaft pierced it's belly, spilling the spidery crap all over the floor. It grabbed it and jerked it out, more or less unphased, but he had gotten it's attention. He drew his dagger and got ready.

Areas in 'Helen's' path stock up on supplies
More News from Agence France-Presse
Manila, Philippines – Philippine authorities rushed relief supplies to the country's remote north Tuesday in preparation for a new storm, which was also expected to dump heavy rain on other areas struggling with deadly floods.
Tropical Storm "Helen" (international codename: Kai-tak) was forecast to hit the east coast of Luzon, the country's main island, on Wednesday morning, then pass over mountainous regions before heading towards Taiwan, the state weather bureau said.
"We are rushing to pre-position relief items to the northern areas ahead of this storm," Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman told AFP.
"We wanted to make sure that we have enough supplies there just in case areas get cut off by landslides or floods."
"Helen" was also forecast to bring heavy rains across the central and southern areas of Luzon, where 334,000 people remain in evacuation centres following flooding last week that in some farming areas remains waist-deep
The floods, which submerged 80 percent of Manila, killed 95 people, according to the government.
The government had initially said "Helen" would start dumping up to 35 millimeters (1.3 inches) of rain an hour over large areas of Luzon beginning Monday night, triggering warnings of more mass evacuations from officials.
But as of noon Tuesday parts of Luzon were only experiencing scattered, light rain showers.
Ramos said authorities had begun releasing water from five dams in the mountain regions of Luzon that were near overflowing in anticipation of more rains.
But the "controlled release" was not expected to swamp already swollen river systems and cause more flooding, he said.

Britain's Winter of Discontent
Less than three months have passed since that halcyon day when Gordon Brown, not previously known as a gaffe-prone politician, provoked howls of mirth in the House of Commons after claiming that his government's prompt response to the credit crunch had "saved the world." George W. Bush was still in the White House, and the contrast between the British prime minister's bold plan to partly nationalize failing banks--making billions of pounds of fresh capital and government loan guarantees available in return for preferred shares--and Henry Paulson's dithering made Brown's boast, though unintended, almost plausible. (He'd meant to say "saved the banks"--a confusion that tells its own story.) But no one's laughing now.
On February 4 Brown told Parliament that a combination of fiscal and monetary stimulus was needed "to take the world out of depression." Though he tried to pass off his use of the D-word as another slip of the tongue, Brown's inadvertent candor was only the latest sign that this really is the winter of Britain's discontent:
§ On January 28 the International Monetary Fund predicted the global economic crisis will hit Britain harder than any other developed country, with the economy expected to shrink by 2.8 percent this year. (The projected downturn in the United States is 1.6 percent.)
§ Just as Britons dug out from the heaviest snowfall in decades, a wave of wildcat strikes at power plants and oil refineries over the use of foreign labor threatened the country's energy supplies. Echoing Brown's 2007 slogan of "British jobs for British workers," the protests were a reminder of the dangers to domestic peace posed by a long-term slump.
§ To compound Brown's worries, the most recent poll by the Guardian showed that nearly two-thirds of British voters thought the government's efforts to contain the crisis were doomed. Overall, the Tories, flat-lining since the economy turned sour, now lead Labour by 44 percent to 32 percent.
§ On February 10 cabinet minister Ed Balls, Brown's closest ally, warned that the crisis is "more extreme and serious than that of the 1930s."
Like the Groundhog Day blizzard that brought Britain to a standstill, not all the country's economic troubles are the government's fault. Wall Street bankers were no better at pricing risk than their counterparts in the City of London; the temptation to ride the debt-inflated housing bubble no easier to resist in Dubai, Dublin or Dallas. And just as Bush inherited the laissez-faire ideology of Ronald Reagan, so the tide of deregulation here runs back to Margaret Thatcher. The difference is that Britain's Faustian bargain with the money markets was sealed by a politician who describes himself as a socialist.
It was Gordon Brown who put out the welcome mat to flight capital from around the globe; Gordon Brown who, in exchange for a little stealthy redistribution around the edges (more money for schools and hospitals, a minimum wage), promised to keep taxes low and lionized speculators. And it was Gordon Brown who arranged for "Fred the Shred" Goodwin, the slash-and-burn chair of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), to become "Sir Fred." During his ten years as Tony Blair's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Brown was only too happy to take the credit as British bankers, encouraged by New Labour's "light touch" approach to financial regulation, stuffed their pockets with cash, bidding up the price of everything from vintage Bollinger to the gas-guzzling SUVs known here as Chelsea tractors. Speaking to an audience of fund managers in June 2007, Brown was in typically flattering mode, saluting their "remarkable achievements, an era that history will record as the beginning of a new golden age for the City of London."
Now that the party is over, the flight capital has fled and Goodwin has resigned in disgrace (the taxpayers have had to stump up £20 billion to keep RBS afloat), it is hardly surprising that an increasingly desperate public blames Brown for its troubles. The Bank of England, which cut interest rates to 1 percent in early February--the lowest level in more than 300 years--may prefer to say that the economy "is in the throes of a severe and synchronized downturn." But with monetary policy running out of runway, the pound trading at record lows against the yen and the dollar, and unemployment above 6 percent and rising fast, the controversy over what to call the country's financial crisis has become less interesting, and less frightening, than another far more stark question: is Britain too big to fail?
Crispin Odey, a hedge-fund boss whose prescience about the weakness of British banks brought him a £28 million bonus last year, observed that Britain risks "being exposed as a small country with debt it cannot repay." Investment guru Jim Rogers, former partner of George Soros, was even more blunt. "Sell any sterling you might have," Rogers told Bloomberg. "It's finished. I hate to say it, but I would not put any money in the UK."

Please stop equating 1960s tournaments with Open Era majors

This is an absurd argument, because those specific four tournaments didnt always mean what they do today, for reasons that vary by era. To whatever degree that list matters, it matters only from the mid-1980s onward and cant be used to compare recent players to those of earlier eras.
Similarly, when people want to argue for the greatness of past players like Laver or Rosewall, they sometimes point to total victories of the top tournaments from the professional tour of the 1960s. With all due respect, I believe that this too is completely wrong. Pro majors were different from Open majors, and they should not be treated the same way.
The three big differences between pro and Open majors are these:
1. From 1963-1967, all pro majors were played on fast surfaces.
2. Pro majors had fields of anywhere from 8 to 14 players, as opposed to 128 players.
3. Amateurs, who were among the worlds best players, could not compete in pro majors.
These things made it easier to win pro majors in bunches, which aided Laver and Rosewall in winning so many of them.
To be clear: You can only play whos in front of you, and you can only play on the surfaces that are being used. Its not Lavers fault that things were like this in the mid-1960s. Also, Point #3 shouldnt be overstated. The pro majors of the mid-1960s typically included 4 out of the 5 best players in the world, with only Roy Emerson missing. Emerson certainly wasnt as good as Laver or Rosewall, though his absence did matter, as did the absence of other amateurs who were among the top 10 or top 15 players in the world.
To illustrate what pro majors were like, heres an accounting of Lavers major wins in 1967. I've supplied rough, theoretical 2011 equivalents of the opponents if Djokovic (the current #1) were substituted for Laver
1. US Pro (field of 14): Laver beat Olmedo, Ayala, Stolle, and Gimeno
2011 equivalent: if Djokovic beat Seppi, Chela, Monfils, and Murray
2. Wimbledon Pro (field of eight): Laver beat Stolle, Gimeno, and Rosewall
2011 equivalent: if Djokovic beat Monfils, Murray, and Nadal
3. French Pro (field of 12): Laver beat MacKay, Stolle, and Gimeno
2011 equivalent: if Djokovic beat Malisse, Monfils, and Murray
4. Wembley Pro (field of 12): Laver beat MacKay, Davidson, and Rosewall
2011 equivalent: if Djokovic beat Malisse, Almagro, and Nadal
Bottom Line
Lavers achievement in sweeping those four tournaments in 1967 was very impressive and significant, just as it would be very impressive and significant if Djokovic were to beat the equivalent players from 2011 in four important tournaments (two on grass and two on a fast indoor surface, with fields of 8 to 14 players) in a calendar year.
But that achievement was not nearly as impressive or significant as Lavers achievement in 1969 of winning the Grand Slam.
The pro tour of the 1960s was terrific, and its best players were as great as those of any other era. But the right way to assess those players is not to count up majors from that era as if they were the same as majors of other eras. The 1960s majors were less difficult to sweep than Open majors from the mid-1980s to the present.
Pro majors ≠ Open majors

Weird stringer

A few points I should make: You need to decide and define who you are as a stringer. Are you someone who installs strings into a racquet, or are you someone who practices a craft (some would argue an 'art,' some would argue a 'science')?
repercussions. If you do not have an explicit policy in place, you need to get one in place ASAP. Written, in plain view. You can also refuse to string frames that are not structurally sound. This isn't an issue of being a pain-in-the-butt stringer, it is a PERSONAL safety issue. If the management staff does not see eye-to-eye on this, ask what happens when a frame breaks on the machine, and graphite shards go flying everywhere? What if a customer (OR YOURSELF) is in range of the frame? Someone's going to get sued if, lets say-- eye damage occurred. I think this one is pretty obvious. [As a side note, if you get frames with the graphite worn down, ALWAYS put some head tape on top just as a precaution before stringing. If it blows up {which, to be honest, is rare}, you've got some insurance. Safety glasses is always a good idea when you're not sure, too. I'm being a bit melodramatic here, but if you aren't taking care of yourself, no one else is going to make you].
Don't do teflon tubing: Same issue as above. If he inspects and sees a cracked grommet, he is on the hook for free labor on breakage. If he doesn't warn the customer, there'd better be a policy in effect. If he DOES warn the customer, and they opt out, that's their problem. If he DOES warn the customer, and they opt IN, then there should be a marginal fee for labor and materials (although if it were me, that'd be something I throw in for free - and I'd mention what I did to them when they picked up, so there's no miscommunications).
management. Most managers, if they are removed from the grunt work DO NOT CARE. All they want to know is how what you're asking them to do/asking from them affects their bottom line. Like I asked above -- do you take pride in your work? Are you a craftsman? If the other stringer is taking the tools home with him every day (which is weird for a shared resource shop...) then you should get your own tools. Are you a labor monkey, AND are you taking this as seriously as it needs to be taken to guarantee a good job?
When I strung ITAs this last weekend, I brought almost 3 full tool sets mmunicating with adults and/or juniors, your style of writing and getting your ideas down "on paper," I might suggest taking a more critical look on how you are perceived by others. This is another thing that you're really just going to learn with experience. If you talk about these things casually, an adult is just going to think you're BSing them. This is doubly true if you're young. Many industries always try to get these "add-on" upgrades snuck in with all orders. You need to point to store policy (see above) and articulate the repercussions if your advice is not AT LEAST story, but I have to ask HOW you told him. I think that modern graphite frames are EXTREMELY hardy, tough, and saying "sir, this is going to break any second" is hyperbolic to a certain degree. The guy might not have appreciated what he perceived as a "throw away your racquet and buy a new one" shtick. Especially if workers in your shop are known for working on commission...
just edited out part of your post since its so long.
thanks so much for taking the time to write this dd! i really appreciate your input.
so yea you are pretty spot on. i am the younger 'kid' and this other stringer is much older than me. so there is 2 components going on here. the first is teh stringer. as you said, and i have concluded myself, iam just going to do my own thing. i care about the rackets that i am doing, especially since a lot of them are juniors/good players so i feel even more obligated. (not to say regular 3.0 players dont matter but they arent travelling 600miles for a tournament every month).
so yea in regards to the tubing and bumperguards, he basically flat out said he doesnt do it, which is just plain ridiculous. i dont know any stringer that doesnt do this. i think for him its all about the money. so yea.
which brings to teh 2nd component. you are right there is a disconnect i feel with management. and you are right i shouldnt have said educate them. i appreciate the honest advice and next time i am going to ask them in terms of the bottom line. because thus far i have put it more in terms of what it does for teh juniors, but i guess as a business dollars mean more than anything. so yea. my point was i just figure since we are such a large facility, the pro shop should be more comprehensive. because right now we dont have any of these services. our string selection isnt the best either, but i think that has to do with our sponsors.
another new thing- some member wanted to build up a grip. so of course we dont have any sleeves or heat gun. so thats yet another thing we dont have. thats basically what i am trying to relate to management. i just want to be a better stringer and i feel without such tools i am unable to perform all the things i need to you know?
so i guess my real question is how do i relate this to management so they understand? honestly i dont think it will make them much money, but i think the level of service would skyrocket, and hopefully members will come back more?
to be sure, management has been very very nice to me. its the stringer thats being weird. i just need to do better with communicating with the management.
now junior abuse. mostly its just normal. i dont think any kids are intentionally abusing anything. and i have been talking to them one on one when they drop off their rackets. they are not an issue at all. in fact i am pretty happy to string for them. i should again say i used teh wrong word. its not 'abuse' as just normal teenage carelessness i guess.
finally the smartazz guy had a wilson 6.2. you know the old black and white frame. i basically just flat out told him 'hey so this thing is busted i am not sure i should string this' and he came back with like 'yea i know now string it and dont be a smartazz'. so yea.
Member of TW MAC. yes, we are better than you. and we bout to hop on a court to make another 'mil

Grapes are not the stock market. They are all about taste and lifestyle. That's what says the man who has a PhD in wine biotechnology, and likes to address himself as "Laxman" when in India.
Wine expert Lucio Matricardi, a frequent visitor to Bangalore, is now looking at "evolving" the exisiting wine culture in the city, while simultaneously training professionals and wine lovers.
"To be good professionals, people need to travel more, visit vineyards in different countries, see and learn how grapes perform in different climates," says Matricardi, a consultant at the University of Milan, who is here to train professionals in the hospitality sector.
He feels people in Bangalore are interested in taking up jobs in the wine sector. "Specially as it entails a whole lot of travel to vineyards in California, France and Italy. It is a fun job. There is tremendous scope in marketing, food & beverages," feels Matricardi, who has been visiting India since 2006.
However, consumption is still at a nascent stage here, he feels..
As per estimates, per capita consumption of wine in India is 10-12 ml per year. In contrast, per capita consumption in France and Italy is in the 45-55 litres range per year.
"Back home in Italy, people consume wine on a daily basis, at different hours in the day. There it is a part of the lifestyle. On the other hand, here it is mostly during celebrations that bottles are uncorked," says Matricardi.
The wine culture should evolve here, feel experts. Specially since India produces 15 million litres per year (as per data from the All-India Wine Producers Association).
"Since wine is on the expensive side, people here experiment with cheap wine, which does not taste good. I say, if you don't want to buy good wine, then better drink something else," states "Laxman", who is the "guiding spirit" of city-based Big Banyan Wines.
Although the wine industry in the country is slated to touch Rs10,000 crore by 2020, from about Rs1, 050 crore in 2008, Matricardi feels before winemakers embark on meeting targets, they should understand the nuances of the consumption pattern here, "by pairing wine with not just food, but also with different people."
"People should not produce wine just for business purpose. We need people who love wine and are not simply there to make money," says Matricardi.

The amount of research data being generated is currently increasing by 30% every year. Worryingly, one study has found that the odds of sourcing datasets decline by 17% each year, and a massive 80% of scientific data are then lost within two decades (Vines, T.H. et al., 2013). It's stats like these that are making research data management a pressing issue for the scientific community, not just for lab management teams, but for every individual researcher.
From our discussions with scientists over the problems and challenges they face in their work, the difficulty of managing and accessing their data is one of the most common issues cited. In an extreme case of data management issues, we heard from biologist Billy Hinchen, who told us, "I lost 400GB of data and close to 4 years of work after my laptop was stolen. As a result I ended up getting an M.Phil rather than a PhD."
The concern is that as data output grows, effective data organization is only going to get more difficult. And if data continue to be managed poorly, then science will ultimately suffer. At best, experiments will be hard to replicate and findings called into question. At worst, papers will be retracted and careers impacted.
We've carried out some investigation into the statistics around data management, and have produced an infographic (https://projects.ac/blog/five-top-reasons-to-protect-your-data-and-practise-safe-science/) that tells the story of the impact of poor scientific data management.
This includes the key reasons to protect your scientific data—and the statistics to back this up. With data output growing rapidly and significant investment in scientific research and development, data are still not being managed effectively. Much of the data remain unverifiable, and both time and money are being wasted, which is impacting science and society. In response, funders now require data management and sharing policies and 34 countries have signed up to the "Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding.
Our view is that it's time to start protecting and managing scientific data better. But how can this be done?
There is a growing effort among start-ups to resolve this data management problem, and Digital Science is one such business leading the way with software designed to make research more efficient. Two of our tools are already proving popular by helping researchers better manage their data. figshare is an open data tool that allows researchers to store their outputs securely in the cloud, share them privately with lab-mates and collaborators, or make them public in the name of open research with a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Projects is a new application that helps scientists stay on top of all their research with a simple, safe, and structured way to manage and organize data files on the desktop.
Other options for data management include trying to make the raft of generic tools fit into scientific workflows. Examples of such tools being used by the scientific community are organizational apps like Evernote, cloud storage services like Dropbox, and Google Drive and code hosting sites like GitHub. However, having not been designed specifically for scientists, they have their drawbacks. There are also various electronic laboratory notebooks available to help scientists share data easily as a team and collect notes and metadata about their research and protocols, like Labguru.
Have you been affected by data availability issues? We're keen to hear your stories.

On their restructuring, upgrading or downgrading
First public hearing held in Tiruchi
Basic criteria: geographical contiguity, population
TIRUCHI: Collector Ashish Vachhani on Thursday appealed to elected representatives of executive heads to forward proposals for the restructuring, upgrading or downgrading of local bodies before November 15.
Participating at the first public hearing on the issuein the district here, Mr. Vachhani said the proposals could be supported by resolutions from the councils of the local bodies.
Proposals on upgrading of village panchayats as town panchayats; town panchayats as municipalities and municipalities as corporations; downgrading town panchayats into panchayats or municipalities into town panchayats; reorganising panchayats, town panchayats and muncipalities and bifurcation of big panchayat unions, panchayats or other urban local bodies would be considered.
He said the basic criteria for the restructuring would be geographical contiguity, population and revenue sources. Block Development Officers, Executive Officers of Town Panchayats, Commissioners of Municipalities and the Tiruchi Corporation would also forward the proposals.
Based on the representations, the district administration would prepare the draft proposals and hold another round of public hearing before forward them to the Government.
Elected representatives from the Lalgudi and Manachanallur panchayat unions suggested that the two local bodies be upgraded to municipalities. Representatives from Manikandam, Musiri and Tirverambur unions suggested that some of the panchayats be bifurcated.
Deputy Mayor M. Anbazhagan, chairpersons of panchayat unions, town panchayats, municipalities, elected representatives of panchayat bodies, representatives of political parties, voluntary organisations and residents associations participated.

The all-party Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) on Tuesday decided to mount pressure on the MLAs from the region to quit their posts in protest against the Centre's alleged wavering attitude on the separate statehood demand.
Coming under pressure from the students of Osmania University here, the nerve centre of the Telangana agitation, following the alleged suicide by a student in support of the separate state demand, the JAC leaders decided to press for the resignation of the public representatives.
"The people are committing suicide in protest against the government's wavering attitude as the Centre hesitates to make a categorical statement in support of Telangana. That is how they are expressing their anger," JAC convenor C Kodandaram told reporters.
"We feel the only way to stop all this is an announcement of a time frame for the formation of Telangana state. In this direction we feel the public representatives should quit their posts to express their protest," he said.
The JAC would call for a meeting of the public representatives on Wednesday or Thursday to press for their resignation, Mr. Kodandaram said.
The JAC also decided to support the 24-hour Telangana bandh called by the students tomorrow.
Earlier, the charred body of K Venugopal Reddy (23), an MCA final-year student of a private college, was found near Tagore Auditorium in the OU premises.
Keywords: Telangana, JAC, Osmania University, Andhra Pradesh, MLAs, separate statehood
