Bucknell 2, Holy Cross 1, Worcester, Mass., 4/27
Bucknell 1, Holy Cross 0, Worcester, Mass., 4/27
Bucknell 4, Holy Cross 3, Worcester, Mass., 4.28
Bucknell 7, Holy Cruss 6 (nine innings), Worcester, Mass., 4/28
- The Holy Cross softball team wrapped up the 2013 season last weekend as Bucknell came away with a sweep at Freshman Field. The Crusaders lost all four games by a combined four runs. Holy Cross finishes the season with an overall record of 13-31 and 7-13 mark in Patriot League play. It was a tough ending to the season as HC dropped its final 12 games after starting the season at 13-19 and 7-5 in the conference.
- Freshman Emily Jarvis (Hopkinton, Mass.) had an outstanding rookie season as she was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week twice and Player of the Week once. She led the team with a .349 batting average and was one of just two players to start all 44 games on the year. She also had a team-high 45 hits, 32 runs scored, 66 total bases, 18 stolen bases and a .512 slugging percentage. Jarvis was second on the team with four home runs, 15 walks and a .447 on-base percentage.
- Senior Sam Fregenti (Melville, N.Y.) overcame an injury in the beginning of the season to finish her Holy Cross career on a strong note. She led the team this season with a .482 on-base percentage and 18 walks and was second on the team in batting average (.330) and slugging percentage (.511). A two-year captain, Fregenti set two single-season HC records including home runs (11) and slugging percentage (.691) as a sophomore. She sits atop the career Holy Cross softball record book in home runs (22), base on balls (62) and slugging percentage (.569). Fregenti can also be found in five of the remaining eight batting categories in the Crusader career record book as she is second in batting average (.345) and runs batted in (89), tied for second in doubles (38), fourth in hits (161) and 10th in at-bats (466).
- Junior Kelliner Croushore (Claremont, Calif.) was the only other Crusader besides Jarvis to start all 44 games this season. She led the team with five home runs and was tied for first with freshman Colleen Ahern (Northbrook, Ill.) with 21 runs batted in. Croushore was also tied for second on the team with 18 runs scored while Ahern was second on the team with 34 hits. Junior Alex Gustafson (Medford, Mass.) led the squad with 10 doubles and was third on the team with 32 hits and 19 runs batted in. Gustafson was also tied for second with Croushore in total bases with 50.
- Freshman Gennifer Durham (Abbeville, S.C.) achieved a feat that had never been accomplished in the Patriot League since its inaugural season in 1991. The rookie threw a seven inning perfect game on April 13 against Colgate in a 1-0 Holy Cross victory. It was also the first recorded seven inning perfect game in school history. Durham finished the season with a team-low 3.27 earned run average and team-high seven wins in 130.2 innings of work. Junior pitcher Julia Barrett (Gardner, Mass.) led the staff with 76 strikeouts in 114.2 innings and finished the season with an ERA of 3.66.
- Prior to the start of the final two games of their careers on Saturday (4/28), head coach Brian Claypool and assistant coach Nick French recognized Fregenti, senior Jenna Legros (Sandy Hook, Conn.) and senior Kat Rosenthal (Boston, Mass.) for their hard work and dedication to Holy Cross softball program over the past four years in a brief ceremony.

The Alameda Education Foundation, a fund-raising group for special school programs and resources, is thanking the community for its passage of Measure A on March 8.
"By over a two-to-one margin, you showed your support for continued quality education in Alameda," AEF said in a statement. "The fact that current economic conditions made this a difficult choice for many indicates our community's willingness to sacrifice to ensure that Alameda students have the educational resources, programs and conditions they need for success."
The Alameda Education Foundation says it especially wants to thank members of the business community that supported Measure A, which enjoyed more business support that the failed Measure E last year. "You, like us, realize that thriving schools are necessary for a strong community and a promising future for all of us," AEF explained.
AEF also praised the Alameda SOS campaign committee for its "exceptional job of galvanizing the community to pass Measure A."
According to the Alameda Country Registrar of Voters, the majority of Alamedans participated in the Measure A vote: 21,180 votes were counted, representing 50.9% of the Island's 41,609 registered voters.
Some 14,200 ballots were sent in by mail, and about 7,000 ballots were filled out on election day at polling sites across town.
The "yes" votes totalled 14,342 — or 67.8% — and the "no" votes numbered 6,806, or 32.2%. The parcel-tax measure needed 66.6% or more votes to pass.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
ASX Ltd. has secured another political heavyweight–former treasury secretary Ken Henry is joining its board at a time when it needs all the help it can get currying favor in Canberra.
The Australian government is mulling whether to open up exchange clearing services–currently monopolized by the ASX–to competition and Mr. Henry is about as well-connected with powerful government figures as you can get.
More intriguingly though, his appointment comes as ASX explores closer ties with offshore rivals. The group likely still harbors hopes of pulling off a deal of some kind, despite a marriage with Singapore Exchange Ltd. being knocked back by Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan in 2011 on the grounds it wasn't in the national interest.
Executives from National Australia Bank, or NAB, met senior policy makers for an intimate dinner in Canberra on Monday evening to discuss ways to promote the nation's debt market.
Among those breaking bread was former Treasury department chief and current NAB board member Ken Henry, Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Guy Debelle and Bernie Ripoll, Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer. Also in attendance was Jeremy Cooper, who authored a major blueprint for the future of the country's pension sector.

Flu Infection – Home Remedies For Cats
By Guest Poster – Tricia Deed
Flu infection arrives each and every year. Cat home remedies are a great way to help your cats survive a flu infection. Do you know what needs to be done if your feline catches the flu? Do you have some handy cat flu home remedies information available in your home library?
The flu infection is an upper respiratory infection. The age groups which seem most likely to be infected are the very young or the elderly or those with weak immune systems.
Symptoms of the flu are:
Eye inflammation also known as conjunctivitis may occur. Your pet will experience a water discharge from their nostrils and you may hear them sneezing or coughing.
Fever usually occurs with flu infection. Use a rectal thermometer to measure the amount of fever. If the thermometer reds more than 101 degrees, see your cat veterinarian.
Your cat may experience loss of appetite. When your cat cannot eat it is usually because they cannot smell their food. Feed your cat strong odor producing sardines. As a preventative measure you may wish to learn about cat flu care using home remedies for cats.
Mouth ulcers may also be making it painful for your cat to eat. If your cat is not eating or drinking see your cat veterinarian immediately.
If your cat is not drinking fluids and is becoming dehydrated hospitalization may be required/ Your cat vet may have to give your pet fluids through intravenous methods.
One severe complication of a flu infection is pneumonia.
How can you diminish the side effects of flu or prevent a flu infection?
Disinfect all feeding and watering containers which have been in contact with the ill cat or kitten. Use household bleach and water on all washable pet supplies.
Learn about cat flu care using home flu remedies which will help keep your cat healthy and also save veterinarian bills.
Keep self and other family members healthy by washing hands and clothing after handling an ill cat or kitten.
After a cat has been cured of the flu some cats may continue to infect other animals. Contaminated cats are known as carriers. It is my understanding once a cat is a carrier it will continue to do so for its lifetime. If your cat is a carrier you will need to separate it from other pets in the home.

ISRAEL's tourist industry can breathe easier with the discovery that the "piranhas" caught in the Sea of Galilee last week are relatively harmless herbivores and not the razor-toothed menace as first suspected. The fish has now been identified as a South American member of the genus Callosoma, known popularly as the pacu.
While this is good news for those who thought piranhas would keep people away from Lake Kinneret, as the Sea of Galilee is officially called, fisheries experts are still worried that the pacu could do serious damage to the lake's ecosystem.
Five specimens of the fish were brought by fishermen to fisheries officials. Outwardly, the fish resembles the piranha, and the immediate fear was that the lake, one of Israel's chief tourist spots, had been infested by voracious meat-eaters. But the pacu has teeth characteristic of plant-eaters and distinct from that of its carnivorous cousin, says Daniel Golani, ...

You state that the human rights group Liberty is concerned about commercial organisations making it possible to eavesdrop on satellite telephone calls (11 March, p 15). In fact, all countries have laws allowing phone-tapping in case of serious crime.
No police force would want to permit a communications system to operate that prevented it from solving crimes, as such a system would attract criminals. Motorola, the originator of the patent mentioned in the article, was not offering to set up a commercial spy service, but merely showing that a satellite telephone service can support national laws.
This just leaves the difficult task of determining which nations have jurisdiction over a particular satellite call, given that in Europe the satellite may pass over two or three nations in the course of a single call, and that the call may be routed via satellites over entirely different nations.

Lea Michele Is Willing to Get Completely Naked On Glee — Under One Condition!
Did Lea Michele (Rachel) just offer to go nude in an upcoming episode of Glee? Now that would get Glee's ratings back up to their Season 1 highs! Talk about the greatest sweeps stunt ever.
Sadly, we're not sure that Lea was serious about performing in her birthday suit on Glee — and we're not sure that the network's censors would be thrilled with it. But Lea did tell Ellen Degeneres on October 2 that she would prefer singing in the buff to having to learning Glee's complicated choreography each week.
Ellen — who herself loves to boogie down — can't believe that Lea doesn't share her love for dance. So Lea explains, "Even if I have to do the simplest beginner ballet routine, I'd be like, 'I would take all my clothes off and sing naked instead of me having to dance right now.'"
Wow! So Lea really doesn't enjoy shaking her moneymaker on the show. As she tells Ellen, "It doesn't come easily to me — I'm not a good dancer." Fine, but we think that anyone who saw Lea's sexy moves in "Oops!... I Did It Again" would respectfully disagree.
And as far as singing without clothes, is there any chance that Lea could encourage Darren Criss (Blaine) or Chord Overstreet (Sam) to sing on the show without their clothes? Because that we can get definitely get on board with.

My Favorite Professor
Whitworth Professor:
Fenton Duvall,
Professor of history,
Fenton Duvall co-founded Whitworth's Core Worldview Program with Professor of English Clarence Simpson, served as dean of students for four years, and was the first faculty member to lead an international Jan Term study program. In 2006, a group of alumni made a contribution in Duvall's name and requested that Whitworth's newest residence hall be named after their favorite professor and mentor. Fenton Duvall died in 2008, at the age of 96.
"I first met Fenton Duvall the spring of my freshman year, when I took History of Western Civilization [now Core 150]. He was intelligent, creative, personable, and concerned about his students. While all these qualities were important, what I appreciate most is that he cared about me and all of his students.
Whitworth Alumnus: Joel Harding, '67, B.A. in history and education; '70, Master of Arts in Teaching
Joel Harding taught social studies and English, coached athletics, and was activities coordinator at Mead High School, in north Spokane, from 1967-97. He also was a coordinator for the Washington State League of Schools; an associate with the Center for Organizational Reform doctoral program at Gonzaga University; and an adjunct professor at Whitworth, where he taught the class Milestones, History and Philosophy of Education. Now retired, he lives in Waterville, Wash.
Dr. Duvall led a group of students on a tour of Western Europe in the summer of 1963. My classmate, Brian Wolfe, '66, and I followed a similar itinerary there from October of that year until January 1964. After our return, Dr. Duvall and the summer tour students invited us to meet with them as part of a group that was discussing what they had learned in their travels. His concern that we be part of the learning group was surprising, and welcome.
When I was at Whitworth, preparing to be an educator, I learned from Dr. Duvall that I could be personally involved with my students, seeing them as individuals yet expecting them to learn at a high level. That approach became a hallmark of my own career in the classroom, with organizations, and on the athletics field. While I felt blessed by his attention and support, I am certain each of his students felt similarly.
As a 30-year teacher at Mead High School, which is in the same community as Whitworth, I was able to apply the lessons I learned from Dr. Duvall and other dedicated Whitworth professors and staff. Dr. Duvall's youngest son graduated from Mead before I arrived there in fall 1967. However, I was able to share with the sons and daughters of Whitworth staff and professors the lessons I had learned from Fenton Duvall and his learned, compassionate colleagues. This completed a circle of quality of which Dr. Duvall was a primary part and allowed his contributions to extend far into the future."

"While ours is a sad story, we don't accept absurdity and ridicule in our story. We get over our sad story and move on," President Paul has said while closing a retreat of youth genocide survivors at Petit Stade.
The President was on Monday addressing members of Genocide Survivors Students Association (AERG), among whom 478 concluding a retreat that discussed several issues including their education, school welfare, protection against sexually transmitted diseases including Aids and developing values of patriotism and dignity. The 12-day retreat, held under theme 'Youth: strive for a bright future, dignify ourselves,' took place in Burera district.
Kagame commended AERG's commitment for having undertaken such initiatives through which they look back at the past and draw lessons for the future. "The most inspired by history are the ones who take the lead so that they can overcome similar challenges and forge new ways ahead. That characterizes AERG and the new Rwanda we are building," he said.
AERG, bringing together students from secondary school and higher learning institutions, was created in 1996 at the National University of Rwanda with the purpose of striving for their well-being, commemoration of Genocide, discipline and caring for each other. It currently counts more than 43,000 members.
"Because they say 'we cannot accept to die twice,' what we can do is to provide them with support," President Kagame said, adding that this stance is crucial for a nation that is experiencing many external disturbances. "We are unbreakable rock. As you believe and want not to die twice, many things will come and leave us healthier than we are."
He added that Rwandans learned a lot from their history and culture that will help them to face challenges of life. He mentioned that the most important thing is to refuse to be prisoners of the past. "The rest is like polishing," he pointed out.
The students for their part commended President Kagame for his efforts to give equal chances to all Rwandans and the progress made so far, but also raised particular concerns including survivors who are still homeless and the issue of the students who do not get chance to go on with university studies.
While he made it clear he took note of the complaints, President Kagame pointed out that people should not be obsessed by university, but rather look at the reality on the ground. "In your pursuit of education, aim at being knowledgeable in accordance with the job market; don't study only to earn diplomas," he told the students, highlighting technical and vocational skills in making people more competitive.
Citing success stories from Germany, South Korea and Singapore, which have become major competitors on the international market due to their smart work and competitiveness, the President urged the students to do the same. "Progress cannot happen by accident, people have work for it," he said. "Things must change, but first of all there should be mindset change on how to achieve progress."
Reacting on the issue of some Genocide survivors who are still homeless, President Kagame expressed his worry about the issue. "It's unclear why there are Genocide survivors who are still homeless. The government has been allocating money to find shelters for them, but I don't see why the issue remains unresolved. This will be followed up with due diligence," he assured the students.
Members of AERG took the occasion to donate Frw 4 million to the Agaciro Development Fund.

Crusader Legends: Bob Cousy (video interview, November 2009)
Bob Cousy arrived on the Holy Cross
campus in the fall of 1946, fresh off an oustanding high school
career at Andrew Jackson High in New York City. And while he would
eventually be know as one of the the greatest players in the
history of professional basketball, he first spent four seasons
becoming a collegiate legend as a Crusader.
Just a freshman during Holy Cross' NCAA Championship season of 1947, Cousy was the team's third leading scorer behind George Kaftan and Dermott O'Connell. His final three years saw him lead the Crusaders in scoring each time, setting the single-season scoring mark as a sophomore and then breaking it as a senior. He graduated as the college's all-time leading scorer. He was a first-team All-American in each of his final three seasons -- the only Crusader to earn such honors three times.
Considered to be one of the best playmakers of all time, Cousy unfortunately played in a collegiate era when assists were not kept as an official statistic. In fact, the NCAA began tracking assist totals in 1951 -- the year after Cousy graduated from Holy Cross.
Graduation from Holy Cross was just the beginning of Cousy's basketball career, as he joins Tom Heinsohn as one of just two Crusader players in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
The NBA Most Valuable Player in 1957, Cousy played in 13 consecutive NBA All-Star games, was a first team All-NBA selection in 10 straight years, and led the NBA in assists for eight seasons in a row. He won six NBA titles while with the Celtics.
Freshman Year (1946-47): Was one of just four Crusaders to play in all 30 games... Was third on the team in scoring with 227 points.
Sophomore Year (1947-48): Despite playing alongside the college's reigning all-time leading scorer in George Kaftan, Cousy scored 486 points -- the most-ever by a Crusader in a single season at that time...Earned first team All-America honors... Scored 28 points in a game against St. Anselm, the second highest single-game total in school history at the time.
Junior Year (1948-49): Scored 480 points, just six shy of his own school mark set the previous year... Earned first team All-America honors for the second straight year.
Senior Year (1949-50): Set a new school record for points in a season with 582, thus finishing his career with the top three individual scoring seasons in HC history to that point... Set a new school record with 34 points against Boston College on January 7... and then broke the record again by scoring 36 points against Colgate one month later...He led the Crusaders back to the NCAAs in his final season, and once again earned first team All-America honors.

The unlocked, white Google Nexus 5 D820 16GB Smartphone from LG improves on its predecessor, the Nexus 4, with a bigger 4.95" in-plane switching (IPS) display and a larger Full HD 1920 x 1080 native resolution. The IPS panel allows for wider viewing angles while the native resolution allows the Nexus 5 to play back 1080p Full HD content without upscaling or letterboxing.

Dr Jussi Suikkanen writes a series of articles for the Institute of Advanced Studies' Saving Humans blog.
When it comes to saving humans, the sad truth is that we cannot save everyone from everything bad that is going to happen to them. For one, we have limited resources and there are just too many people we could help. This is why we must make difficult choices: which groups should we save and from what? These decisions are common in both policy-making and everyday life. Who should we help with the money we spend on healthcare? Should I drive fast so as not to keep my family waiting or slow down and save the local cyclists from a higher risk of death?
Philosophers have always been interested in how you should make these choices.

Everton manager David Moyes admits he is having to become more creative in order to find ways to keep his side winning going into the second half of the season.
Injuries to key players - with midfielder Darron Gibson ruled out for a month with a thigh strain and forward Kevin Mirallas sidelined for a second time with a hamstring injury - have taken their toll over the festive period.
"The mood is fine, we are healthy enough - I'd like a few more players back from injury but so would a few clubs," he said.

Steve Jobs: Apple's board looking into possibilities for succession is "hogwash"
According to an article in The Wall Street Journal from the unusually accurate Kane, a few members of Apple's board have discussed possibilities for Steve Jobs future replacement. The members are believed to have spoken with executive recruiters as well as at least one head of a high profile tech company. The source of the information is "people familiar with the matter". The Wall Street Journal even managed to get an email from Steve Jobs in response to its questions.
Mr. Jobs said Monday in an email, "I think it's hogwash." An Apple spokesman declined to comment.
If this turns out to be true, the directors don't appear to have been acting on behalf of the full board or with the knowledge of Steve Jobs either. Always a dangerous game to play in any business; especially one as high profile as Apple! On the other hand, it would be foolish for any business with its CEO on a medical leave of absence, not to have long term plans in place.

Steve Jobs: Apple's board looking into possibilities for succession is "hogwash"
" it would be foolish for any business with its CEO on a medical leave of absence, not to have long term plans in place."
Right on, Chris!
Actually, Apple should have succession plans for several layers of management ... and anyone who is surprised about that is obviously clueless about how businesses work and has no right writing about them!
(actually mid-85)
And we see how THAT went for Apple ... ;)
Apple already tried without Jobs. And got nowhere the stacks for Apple went from $50 to $370 since Jobs came back. Jobs is the face of the company that people trust and respect. They will bring a new CEO in a suite that will never get as far as Jobs because they will concentrate only on the $$ not the product. Apple please save yourself a emberasment
What would you have them do? Clone Steve? This reply shows really no confidence in the team that Steve has assembled to run tings when he is gone. If that is your feeling... And many others here from the looks of these replies, what does that say about the dear leader after all? Not very confident in his choices for this company?
Why does this remind me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Where are the Umpa Lumpas?
You're probably right in that he's irreplaceable but the reality is he will not be around forever not matter how much we would like him to be. So we have to get used to the fact that some day (again) there will be an Apple without Steve Jobs.
If it were my pick, my vote would be with Scott Forstall. The other senior execs are no doubt very talented at what they do but I don't think they have the skill set to be a CEO of Apple.
If various board members are actually talking to headhunters without Jobs' knowledge, and they actually talked to the WSJ about it, sounds like some board members should be fired.
It's responsible to be developing plans for succession, but not divulging the fact to the board chairman, the CEO, and the company cofounder, and then talking about it with a newspaper, is tantamount to a serious breach of trust. They should be fired. Board members leaking any company plans at all is an irresponsible actor.
Who knows. Jobs certainly views AllThingsD and WSJ as a prominent media outlet and gives Mossberg proper respect due to that.
This is from Yukari Iwata Kane. We "know" Apple purposely leaks to him. But Jobs is purportedly on record as saying "hogwash". So either the WSJ is totally misrepresenting the situation or some board members are leaking information they shouldn't. Or maybe it is all sourced from the headhunters. If it is that, fine. But if it was board members, that's a serious breach of trust on a topic that materially affects AAPL valuation.
It's actually a smart move for them to look for a new CEO. Steve Jobs is irreplaceable so they're probably looking for someone that has the same qualities he has.
I say it's a smart move because Steve Jobs won't be around forever and with his health deteriorating it's actually a good move to look for a replacement so if he dies, they will have someone ready to take charge of the company.
They're not looking to replace him now, they're looking to replace him when he dies.

I just had to build something dented! This was an old build up with a cracked body so I decided to build a derby truck.
It is painted with Duplicolor blue and is hand lettered.
The truck is weathered and rusted and dirty. There is actually real mud on it!
For the interior I used the stock roll bar, but added a square tube brace to protect the driver from hard hits. All the guages are broken and the seats are torn using tissue paper.

In a magnificent year for Nigeria football, the Super Eagles qualified for the 2013 African Cup of Nations; the Flying Eagles have qualified for the 2013 African Youth Championship; the Golden Eaglets are on the verge of qualification for the 2013 African U-17 Championships and; all the Women National Teams participated in major global championships.
While the U-20 girls, known as Falconets reached the semi finals of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan, the U-17 girls reached the quarter finals at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan before the Super Falcons finished fourth at the African Women Championship in Equatorial Guinea.
Maigari, while accepting the award, said: "I am most delighted, yet humbled by this award. Let me use this opportunity to say a big 'thank you' to the Federal Government, through the National Sports
Commission, for the immense support we have been receiving from them to run the National Teams. We also appreciate our partners/sponsors for their support.
"I wish to state clearly here that the Board of Nigeria Football Federation and the Management are committed to adequate preparation of our National Teams for the major championships they have qualified for, while we are also determined to provide all necessary support to the Super Eagles to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals."

WE ARE now privy to the ways bacteria outsmart antibiotics, thanks to a technique which measures the evolution of antibiotic resistance.
A team led by Erdal Toprak and Adrian Veres at Harvard University developed the "morbidostat", a device that constantly monitors the growth of bacteria in the presence of an antibiotic, increasing the concentration of the drug as the bacteria evolve resistance.
Using the morbidostat, the team investigated how Escherichia coli responded to three different antibiotics over 25 days.
Levels of resistance increased for all three drugs. However, resistance to chloramphenicol and doxycycline developed smoothly over time, whereas resistance to trimethoprim happened in discrete steps.
The team sequenced the genome of E. coli from the final stage of the experiment. Bacteria resistant to chloramphenicol and doxycycline had a large number of changes all over their genome, suggesting that lots of small mutations outsmart the drugs. For trimethoprim resistance, most changes took place in just one gene. The bacteria had to wait for mutations to occur in this small area, which explains why resistance evolved in stages.
Further sequencing revealed the same mutations occurring in the same order in every trimethoprim-resistant population (Nature Genetics, DOI: 10.1038/ng.1034). Knowing about these pathways of resistance could help to find drug doses to minimise resistance.

Shares of audio systems maker Harman International Industries (HAR: Charts, News) rallied at the end of last week after the company posted strong fourth quarter earnings that topped on both the top and bottom lines. The company, whose brands include JBL and Harman Kardon, posted adjusted earnings of 67 cents per share on revenue of $1.09 billion, which topped analysts' expectations of 65 cents per share on revenue of $1.08 billion. The company attributed its strong fourth quarter numbers to strong sales in China, boosted by a growing Chinese middle class with increased income. Daily Chart Looking ahead, however, Harman cut its full year forecast due to a weakening euro. For the full year, Harman revised its earnings per share down from a range between $3.75 and $4.00 per share to a range between $3.67 and $3.92 per share. It also cut its revenue forecast from a range between $4.55 billion and $4.8 billion down to $4.3 billion to $4.6 billion. CEO Dinesh Paliwal commented, "We are feeling cautiously optimistic, but I'd say more towards optimistic because we have secure revenues and we've the technology to convert that." Although the Eurozone's troubles are likely to drag on earnings, Harman reported that existing orders were not reduced. Harman generated 43% of its 2011 revenue from Germany, and sales from the rest of Europe accounted for another 20%. The company competes squarely with Bose, Panasonic, Sony (SNE: Charts, News) and Denso. Harman also provides audio products for higher end automakers such as Audi, Ferrari, BMW and Daimler. The company is preparing to launch a new "infotainment system" which integrates smartphones and tablets into its BMW vehicles, which is also expected to also be available for Daimler early next year. In the luxury vehicle segment, Harman has been fighting off newer rivals Delphi Automotive and Continental. Harman's products are protected by a strong pipeline of 4,000 patents, which have helped lock out competitors. Last year, the company diversified into the mid-range car market by providing its audio systems to Toyota (TM: Charts, News). Earlier this year, the company also signed deals with Tata Motors (TTM: Charts, News) in India and Geely and BAIC Motors in China. Two weeks ago, Harman signed a $900 million contract with General Motors (GM: Charts, News). This rapidly growing customer base has analysts excited about the company's growth prospects, particularly in emerging markets. The company believes that revenue from BRIC nations will grow from its current 12% to over 25% by 2015. As a testament to its growth, the company has $500 million of new orders from China and India. Harman also recently agreed to acquire India-based Interchain Solution, which produces automotive infotainment products, for an undisclosed amount. Interchain notably produces devices that sync with Android devices. Harman would also inherit a client base including TeleAtlas, MapmyIndia and ALJACS Toyota, as well as several Indian government departments. Acquiring Interchain is forecast to strengthen the company's Infotainment division, which accounts for 55% of its net revenues. The segment posted 15% year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. Shares of Harman are up 51% over the past twelve months, and still trade at a modest 10 times trailing earnings and 11.7 times forward earnings. The stock has a 5-year PEG ratio of 0.47, and pays a quarterly dividend of 8 cents per share - a 0.7% yield at current prices.

Oh, Shrek. You know I love you. I do. I was just singing your praises a couple of days ago. I appreciate a good flatulence joke. I like to think we understand each other. You continue to make me giggle, and I continue to go see your movies and buy them when they come out on DVD. I try to reserve judgment when it comes to seeing your mug adorning half the foodstuffs at the supermarket, you know, because I understand that you have to make a living. And not everyone can do that just by blogging about cartoons. You're entitled to do what you need to do.
But now you may have gone too far, Shrek.
It seems that Shrek is slated to be the spokesogre for an ad campaign designed to target childhood obesity. And not everyone is happy about it:
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood says the soon-to-open "Shrek the Third" has too many promotional ties with unhealthy foods to justify using Shrek as a health advocate.
"There is an inherent conflict of interest between marketing junk food and promoting public health," Susan Linn, the group's director, wrote in a letter sent Wednesday to HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt.
"Surely Health and Human Services can find a better spokesperson for healthy living than a character who is a walking advertisement for McDonald's, sugary cereals, cookies and candy," said Linn, an instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
The article lists the multiple product tie-ins for the upcoming Shrek the Third, and highlights what seems a reasonable query:
"Why would young children follow Shrek's advice about healthy living and ignore his entreaties to eat Happy Meals and Pop-Tarts?" Linn wrote. "If government agencies are serious about combating childhood obesity, they should stop cozying up to industry and start taking real steps to end the barrage of junk food marketing aimed at children."
The idealist in me agrees and wishes that my children could have that sort of commercial-free childhood for which the advocates are working. I don't particularly enjoy food decorated with or—even worse—pressed into the shapes of popular characters.
But the smart-aleck in me would like to point out that Shrek's love of pop-tarts doesn't make him an unsuitable voice for a fitness campaign. The fact that he's got a gigantic beer belly makes him an unsuitable voice for a fitness campaign.
I'm glad I had the opportunity to clear that up for everyone. Carry on.

- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 30 mins
So you're having family over tonight. And in an effort to not totally freak them out by the healthy fare that you'll be serving, you decide to offer up some homemade fries as a familiar, comfort food (just don't tell them how healthy these pups are!).
- Calories: 148
- Fat: 7g
- Protein: 1g
- Sodium: 172mg
- Carbohydrates: 21g
- Fiber: 3g
Nutritional Information (per serving)
- Pick any number of large potatoes (one potato makes about two servings) or try sweet potatoes as a vitamin packed, colorful option
1 teaspoon olive oil for every potato (you got it, 6 potatoes, 6 teaspoons) and for those looking for adventure, try grapeseed oil as a healthy option
Sea salt to taste
And for those wanting to spice things up: cayenne, black pepper, rosemary, thyme or turmeric (optional)
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Turn on your favorite song.
- Assign kids (big kids or little ones) to peel (sweet) potatoes
- Cut off tapered ends .
- Cut (sweet) potatoes in half lengthwise. And keep cutting each half in half until you get fry slices that are about 1/8- to 1/4-inch slabs (don't make them too skinny or they'll burn to crisps).
- Put fries in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly with oil. Sprinkle with salt (and whatever other spices you want to throw in!) just make sure to coat them evenly.
- Put your fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer, if possible (they can be snuggled in, because they will shrink when cooking).
- Bake your fries until they start to brown on the bottom (usally about 20 minutes) and are tender. Then pull them out, flip them, and stick them back in oven, increasing the temperature to 450 and bake for another 10 minutes, flipping them to help them cook evenly.
- Devour with pride.

Isabel Rodriguez-Vega is a senior at Skyline High School in Oakland.
College acceptance and decision time is much more exciting than the application process. Suddenly the tables have turned, and the colleges that you desperately tried to win over are now hoping you will choose them over the others. They start sending an endless amount of letters telling you how great they are and sometimes attempt to woo you with gifts. I've actually received a T-shirt and luggage tag from two schools.
But when it really comes down to decision time all this stuff is useless in helping to make your decision. Continue Reading

Stratos vs Stratos
Original Lancia meets new in the hillclimb of a lifetime. Hold on tight...
Posted: 07 Nov 2012
This is one of those cars that doesn't just accelerate, it beams itself down the road. You are at Point A; now you are at Point B. The bit in the middle is pulverised. There is absolutely no sense of mass at all; it just goes where you tell it to go and gets there while you're still thinking about it. Ferrari's electronic diff has been replaced by a Drexler mechanical item used in the WRC, which not only weighs 23kg less, but also helps fire the Stratos through corners with fantastic aggression. Dial out the traction control, and it'll slide in a heartbeat. You're less busy at the wheel than you would be in Ferrari's 458 Italia, but it's still a fast-moving, almost hyper-real experience. Even in a car park.
A power-to-weight ratio of 427bhp per tonne tells its own story: 62mph is history in 3.3 seconds, 120mph a memory in under 10 seconds. All of this in a one-off car, that is stunningly well realised, a hunk of gorgeous carbon fibre fashioned into a shape that drags the original Stratos into the 21st century.

ATLANTA—Darryl Ferguson, a prosecutor attorney for the city of Atlanta, and Tanya Ferguson, an insurance sales manager for Senior Life Services, and their daughter, Kennedy Ferguson, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts at the Fox Theater.
"I thought it was spectacular," Mr. Ferguson said after watching the show. "The visuals, the production, everything was a plus."
Based in New York, Shen Yun presents 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture through classical Chinese music and dance. "Every year, Shen Yun unveils an entirely new lineup of dances, songs, and musical scores," according to Shen Yun's website.
"It's amazing," Mr. Ferguson said. "Given all the production work that was done, it was really incredible. The visuals were spectacular," he said.
Mrs. Ferguson said that it was visually stunning. "The costumes were just beautiful and the dancing of course was kind of second to none and beautiful to watch," she said.
Kennedy has been learning Chinese in school, and she recommended Shen Yun to her parents after seeing the advertisements on the billboards. Kennedy is in kindergarten.
Mr. Ferguson said that although he has been to China, he thought it was pretty amazing that he could see a traditional Chinese culture performance in the U.S but not one he could see in China.
"I felt like it was pretty amazing to be honest with you," he said.
Established in 2006, Shen Yun's mission is to revive the traditional Chinese culture that was almost lost due to 60 years of Communist rule in China. Currently, Shen Yun cannot perform in China.
Mrs. Ferguson enjoyed learning the rich Chinese history in the performance. "It was a fantastic show," she said.
With reporting by Kelly Ni.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three touring companies that perform simultaneously around the world. Shen Yun's International Company will be in Fort Lauderdale from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

Last week, we all followed the busty and beautiful Lauren Hanley and today we have another hot, busty model that's been consistently heating up on Instagram. This week's BABE ON INSTAGRAM to follow is none other than my favorite nude model in the business today, MISS ALYSSA ARCE. (IG: miss_alyssaarce)
If you aren't already a loyal Alyssa Arce fan, then pay attention! You're about to get a crash course on your new favorite nude model.
Alyssa Arce is a 22 year-old Playboy Playmate (Playmate of the Month for July 2013) from North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She's 5'8″, 120 pounds, and has killer curves, measuring 34D-25-34. Nice.
The doe-eyed doll's father comes from Honduras, making Alyssa Arce a Southern Belle with Latina blood. Can you imagine a more perfect combination?
So why should you follow this bodacious babe on Instagram? Well, I'm glad you asked because below these words there just happens to be a selection of Alyssa Arce's Instagram pictures that really highlight why you need to be following her. Check them out:
Ok that's enough.
I think now you understand the importance of following Alyssa Arce on Instagram.
I mean, you don't have to follow her if you don't want to. I just think that you're doing yourself a great disservice by not following her because you'll get behind the scenes looks, sexy selfies, previews of upcoming photo sets and she's also extremely hot.
So once again, follow Alyssa Arce on Instagram.
And keep an eye out for Babes On Instagram, the weekly Sex.com Blog feature that finds the hottest babes you need to follow on Instagram.
