Monday, November 12, 2012
Exchange Income Corporation Reports Record Financial Results for Q3 201219:05 EST Monday, November 12, 2012Increases dividend distributions by 4% to $0.14 per monthWINNIPEG, Nov. 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Exchange Income Corporation (TSX: EIF) (the "Corporation" or "Exchange"), a diversified, acquisition-oriented company focused on the transportation and industrial manufacturing sectors, reported its financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012. All amounts are in Canadian currency."We are extremely proud of our third quarter performance and the new benchmarks we set with each of our key financial metrics," said Mr. Mike Pyle, President and CEO of Exchange. "The growth we experienced was largely driven by the strength of our diversification model. Even as our Aviation segment was largely flat, our Manufacturing segment, which was spurred by the significant contributions made by WesTower Communications and its three-year turf contract with AT&T Mobility, enabled us to achieve consolidated record revenue of more than $220 million and record EBITDA of more than $30 million."Mr. Pyle added, "Given our recent momentum and the confidence we have in sustaining our performance into 2013 and beyond, we are increasing our dividend distribution to $0.14 per month. This increase marks the eighth time since 2004 that we have increased dividend distributions, and reflects our commitment to providing dependable dividends to shareholders."Q3 2012 HighlightsConsolidated revenue was $220.8 million, up 51%EBITDA was $30.3 million, up 37%Adjusted net income was $11.6 million, up 53%Free Cash Flow was $24.1 million, up 25%.Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex was $16.2 million, up 27%.Exchange's Manufacturing segment generated consolidated revenue of $147.3 million, setting a new record highWesTower Communications, a company that designs, builds, maintains and services wireless phone and other communications towers throughout North America, continued the ramp up of its three-year turf contract with AT&T Mobility, and contributed revenue and EBITDA of $124.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively.Closed a bought-deal convertible debenture offering, raising gross proceeds of $57.5 million.Selected Third Quarter Financial HighlightsAll amounts in thousands except % and share data Q3 2012Q3 2011 Change Revenue $220,807 $145,993+51%EBITDA1$30,332$22,153+37%Net Earnings$9,972$7,285+37%Adjusted Net Earnings2$11,610$7,583+53%Earnings per Share3$0.49$0.42+17%Adjusted Earnings per Share$0.57$0.44+30%Dividends declared$8,351$6,975+20%"We invested nearly $11 million in growth capital expenditures in Q3 less $3.8 million in asset disposals," said Adam Terwin, Chief Financial Officer of Exchange. "The majority of these investments were earmarked for the Aviation segment to support our strategic decision to rationalize Calm Air's fleet and infrastructure. The balance, approximately $1.7 million, was allocated to WesTower in support of its ongoing expansion. We believe that the net total of $6.9 million in growth capital expenditures better positions us for opportunities to grow our operations in the future."Selected Year-to-date Financial ResultsAll amounts in thousands except % and share data FY2012FY2011 Change Revenue $569,126 $362,523+57%EBITDA$68,856$54,105+27%Net Earnings$18,641$13,831+35%Adjusted Net Earnings4$21,240$16,508+29%Earnings per Share (basic)$0.94$0.83+13%Adjusted Net Earnings per Share (basic)$1.07$1.00+7%Dividends declared$24,162$19,980+21%Review of Financial ResultsConsolidated revenue for Q3 2012 was $220.8 million, up 51% from $146.0 million for the corresponding period of 2011. The revenue increase was primarily due to the organic growth of the Manufacturing segment, and driven largely by the contributions of WesTower Communications. Consolidated revenue also grew as a result of the addition of Custom Helicopters, which was acquired in February 2012, to the Company's list of operating subsidiaries. On a year-to-date basis, revenue for FY2012 was $569.1 million, up 57% from $362.5 million for FY2011.Exchange generates revenue from its Aviation and Manufacturing segments, each of which is comprised of subsidiaries operating in niche markets and generating defensible cash flows.On a segmented basis, the Aviation segment generated revenue in Q3 2012 of $73.5 million, up 1.4% from $72.4 million for the corresponding period of last year. The growth was due to the acquisition of Custom Helicopters, which was completed in February 2012 and contributed $5.5 million in revenue in Q3. The Aviation segment's revenue growth was partially off-set by a number of contributing factors, including increased competitive pressure faced by Bearskin Airlines and the cancellation of Keewatin Air's passenger service in September 2011. In Q3 2012, the Aviation segment generated 33% of Exchange's consolidated total. This compares to 49.6% of the consolidated total for Q3 2011.Exchange's Manufacturing segment generated revenue in Q3 2012 of $147.3 million, up 100% from $73.6 million for Q3 2011. The growth was primarily attributable to the contributions of WesTower Communications, which increased its revenue by 117% to $124.1 million, largely due to its three-year turf contract with AT&T Mobility. Excluding the contributions of WesTower, Exchange's Manufacturing segment grew its revenue by 41.6% to $23.3 million as a result of strong performance of all the Company's pre-existing manufacturing operations. In Q3 2012, the Manufacturing segment generated 66.7% of Exchange's consolidated total. This compares to 50.4% of the consolidated total for Q3 2011.Consolidated EBITDA for Q3 2012 was $30.3 million, up 37% from $22.2 million for Q3 2011. The year-over-year gain was due to the organic growth of Exchange's pre-existing Manufacturing segment companies, particularly WesTower, and to the addition of Custom Helicopters. On a year-to-date basis, EBITDA for FY2012 was $68.9 million, up 27% from $54.1 million for FY2011.On a segmented basis, Exchange's Aviation segment generated EBITDA of $17.3 million for Q3 2012, up 1.6% from $17.0 million for the same period of last year. The modest increase was due to Custom Helicopter's $3.0 million EBITDA contributions, which were offset by a number of factors, including softer customer demand in some markets due to competitive pressures and higher fuel costs. The Aviation segment's EBITDA margin for Q3 2012 was stable at 23.5%.The Manufacturing segment generated EBITDA of $15.3 million for Q3 2012, up from $7.2 million for Q3 2011. The increase in EBITDA was due to the growth in contributions by WesTower, which increased by 148% or $6.8 million to $11.3 million. Excluding WesTower contributions, EBITDA from the other pre-existing Manufacturing segment companies grew 50.6% to $3.9 million. EBITDA margin for the Manufacturing segment in Q3 2012 was 10.4%, up from 9.7% for Q3 2011. Excluding WesTower, which is a higher sales but lower margin business, EBITDA margins for the Manufacturing segment were 16.9%, up from 15.9% for Q3 2011.Exchange reported net earnings for Q3 2012 of $10.0 million, or $0.49 per basic share. In the corresponding period of 2011, Exchange reported net earnings of $7.3 million or $0.42 per basic share. Excluding intangible asset amortization of $0.4 million expensed as a result of IFRS and aircraft impairment write-down of $1.9 million, Exchange had adjusted net earnings of $11.6 million or $0.57 per basic share, up 30% from $0.44 in Q3 2011.On a year-to-date basis, net earnings for FY2012 were $18.6 million, up 35% from $13.8 million for FY2011. Excluding acquisition costs of $0.4 million, intangible asset amortization of $1.2 million expensed as a result of IFRS and an aircraft impairment write-down of $1.9 million, Exchange had adjusted net earnings for FY2012 of $21.2 million, up 29% from $16.5 million for FY2011.At September 30, 2012, the Corporation had net working capital of $145.1 million, including net cash and cash equivalents of $10.9 million. This compares to $67.3 million and $11.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. This significant increase is the result of the working capital required to support the growth at WesTower.Selected Third Quarter Key Performance IndicatorsAll amounts in thousands except % and share data Q3 2012 Q3 2011 Change Free Cash Flow5$24,059$19,234+25%Free Cash Flow per basic share$1.17$1.11+5%Total Maintenance Capex6$7,860$6,513+18%Free Cash Flow less Total Maintenance Capex7$16,199$12,721+28%Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex per share$0.79$0.74+7%Dividends Declared$8,351$6,975+20%Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex Payout Ratio 51%55% Given its operations and commitment to stable dividend payments to shareholders, the Corporation currently uses a number of key performance indicators, most notably Free Cash Flow, to evaluate its progress and assess its ability to sustain its dividend policy. With the adoption of IFRS, Exchange is no longer utilizing Distributable Cash, a metric used as a performance indicator from the time when the Corporation operated as an income trust. Exchange will use Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex as performance indicators. Under IFRS, the calculation of Distributable Cash and Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex are very similar and presenting both would be a duplication of the same metric. Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex has been chosen over the Distributable Cash because this metric can tie directly into Exchange's consolidated financial statements.Free Cash Flow for Q3 2012 totaled $24.1 million, up 25% from $19.2 million for Q3 2011. Free Cash Flow on a basic per share basis in Q3 2012 was $1.17 per share basic, up 5% from $1.11 from Q3 2011. The growth in Free Cash Flow was chiefly due to the increased contributions of WesTower and other Manufacturing segment companies as well as the addition of Custom Helicopters. Free Cash Flow gains were partially offset by a decrease by pre-existing Aviation segment companies primarily due to competitive pressures and softer market conditions.Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex was $16.2 million, or $0.79 per basic share, in Q3 2012. This compares to $12.7 million, or $0.74 per basic share, for Q3 2011. The growth in Maintenance Capex was chiefly due to the timing of Aviation segment engine over-hauls and heavy checks, activities that fluctuate from period to period.Outlook"As historically has been the case, we expect seasonality factors to impact our performance in the coming months," said Mr. Pyle. "The start of winter conditions will have a drag on the performance of our Aviation segment as the build-out of winter roads in the northern communities we service will reduce demand for transportation services. WesTower may also be impacted by the onset of winter conditions, which may limit the installation of cell towers in some markets, especially across Canada."Mr. Pyle added, "Over the long term, we are very bullish on the sustainability of our business model and our prospects. Having a diversified portfolio of operating companies enables us to better absorb the fluctuations of various economic cycles and still take advantage of organic growth opportunities. And with access to more than $185 million in available capital as well as a strong balance sheet, we are poised to apply our disciplined strategy take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they emerge."The Corporation's complete financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 can be found at www.exchangeincomecorp.ca or at www.sedar.com.Increase to monthly dividend distributionsExchange also announced that its Board of Directors has voted to increase the Corporation's monthly dividend payout rate by four percent from $0.135 per share per month to $0.14. The increase will take effect with the dividend distribution for the month ended November 30, 2012, and payable December 14, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2012.Conference Call NoticeThe Corporation will hold a conference call to discuss its 2012 third quarter financial results on November 13, at 9:30 a.m. ET.

The strategy of the Corporation is to invest in profitable, well-established companies with strong cash flows operating in niche markets in Canada and/or the United States.The Corporation is currently operating in two niche business segments: aviation and specialty manufacturing. The aviation segment consists of the operations by Perimeter Aviation, Keewatin Air, Calm Air International, Bearskin Lake Air Service, and Custom Helicopters, and the specialty manufacturing segment consists of the operations by Jasper Tank, Overlanders Manufacturing, Water Blast Manufacturing, Stainless Fabrication and WesTower Communications. For more information on the Corporation, please visit www.exchangeincomecorp.ca.Additional information relating to the Corporation, including all public filings, is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).Forward-Looking Information:The statements contained in today's press release that are forward-looking are based on current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks, and actual results may differ materially. These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, the dependence of the Corporation on the operations and assets currently owned by it, the degree to which its subsidiaries are leveraged, the fact that cash distributions are not guaranteed and will fluctuate with the Corporation's financial performance, dilution, restrictions on potential future growth, competitive pressures (including price competition), changes in market activity, the cyclicality of the industries, seasonality of the businesses, poor weather conditions, and foreign currency fluctuations, legal proceedings, commodity prices and raw material exposure, dependence on key personnel, and environmental, health and safety and other regulatory requirements. Further information about these and other risks and uncertainties can be found in the disclosure documents filed by the Corporation with the securities regulatory authorities, available on SEDAR.___________________________________ 1 EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash expenses, such as unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses and asset impairment, and any unusual non-operating one-time items, such as acquisition costs. EBITDA is not a defined performance measure under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It is used by Management to assess the performance of the Corporation and its operating segments.2 Q3 2012 adjusted net earnings excludes pre-tax intangible amortization of $391,000 (Q3 2011 - $408,000) and an aircraft impairment write-down of $1.9 million (Q3 2011 - nil).3 Exchange had 20.4 million common shares outstanding at September 30, 2012, up from 17.2 million at September 30, 2011. The growth is due to an increase in the conversion of debentures, the exercise of warrants by investors, and the issuance of shares in support of acquisition activities.4 Year to date adjusted net earnings excludes pre-tax acquisition costs of $392,000 ($1.8 million - FY2011), pre-tax intangible amortization of $1.2 million ($1.4 million - FY2011) and an asset impairment write-down of $1.9 million (nil - FY2011).5Free Cash Flow is a financial metric used by Management to assess the Corporation's performance and assess its ability to sustain its dividend policy. Free cash Flow for the period is equal to the cash flow from operating activities as defined by Canadian GAAP, adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital and any unusual non-operating one-time items. It is not a recognized measure under Canadian GAAP.6 Maintenance Capex is not a GAAP measure. Capital expenditures are characterized as either maintenance or growth capital expenditures. Maintenance capital expenditures are those required to maintain the operations of the Company at its current level and includes principal payments made on finance leases.7 Free Cash Flow less Maintenance Capex is not a GAAP measure. It approximates the metric Distributable Cash that the Corporation reported prior to the adoption of IFRS.

DEAR JEANNE &; LEONARD: I'm concerned that my friend "Sarah" doesn't understand how much the gift I gave her is worth. She and I have been good friends since eighth grade, so when she graduated from medical school, I gave her a pair of one-of-a-kind silver earrings. They cost a lot, but I have a great job now and can afford it. I can see, though, that while Sarah loves the earrings, she doesn't understand how valuable they are. Should I tell her she could buy a weekend in Cancun for what they cost?

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article
Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

ššina: son of Upadarma, rebel leader from Elam, who rose against the Persian king Darius I the Great.
The revolt was suppressed almost immediately. This can be deduced from the relief above the Behistun inscription, which shows Darius' opponents in the sequence of their death; the man standing behind ššina, Nidintu-Bêl, was defeated in December. In the inscription itself, Darius writes that ššina was brought to him in fetters, and that he personally killed the rebel.
This was not the end of the unrest in Elam, however, because a new king continued the struggle, Martiya. He ruled for some time, but was killed by the Elamite population in June 521. Martiya was succeeded by king Atamaita, who was captured by the Persian general Gobryas in the autumn of 521 or the following winter. Again, Darius killed him personally.
The picture shows ššina as he is represented at Behistun.

HERMISTON — Hood River Valley and Hermiston both play in the Intermountain Conference, but the first-place Lady Bulldogs proved that they were in another league Tuesday, defeating the
Eagles, 71-40.
The loss was HRV's third straight and their fourth in the past six games, dropping their season record to 4-12 (3-5 IMC).
"Not a whole lot to say except that we played a taller, deeper, more experienced team," coach Tracy Norton said. "Hermiston has so many weapons that we just couldn't stop them defensively."
The Lady Bulldogs remain on the fringes of the state rankings, receiving 11 votes in the most recent state 4A coaches' poll.
Their 7-1 IMC record is tied with Pendleton and Redmond for best in the league, and they also boast two of the top eight scorers in the conference, Aundrea Morrison (13.5 ppg) and Charlene Shirley (9.9 ppg).
Despite the loss, the Eagles can still say that they gave a better effort than on Jan. 14, when they lost 61-21 at home.
"I thought we rebounded pretty well, considering that we were so outsized underneath," Norton said. "We also did a better job of passing and getting into the lane in the second half."
Sophomore guard Kristen Hedges and junior guard Suni Davis led the Eagles with seven points apiece, while junior Anna Hidle chipped in six and freshman Stefanie Draper four.
Seniors Brittany Reed and Becki Flory led HRV on the boards with six and eight rebounds, respectively. Draper and Alyssa Ortega had five, while Hidle and Talia Hinman had four.
The Eagles have the weekend off and will take to the court again on Feb. 7 in Bend. They play the Lava Bears at 7 p.m. Friday and then travel to Redmond Saturday for a 2:45 p.m. matchup.

Eastern Europe's finest.....blisteringly hot. January 10, 2011
Reviewer: sinnerfromengland
The opening scene finds a lucky Eastern European stud with an improbably large member being impressively blown in the living room by a cute blonde (Judy White?) who's giving it her all. Meanwhile John Leslie talks filth in that fabulously sleazy, gravelly voice of his with the younger, dappy brunette of the piece (Nicol) in the next-door bathroom, and generally works himself into a lather.

How To Get Stuff Shipped In Advance In Mexico?

Joined: Jan 2008

Oddometer: 1,037
I have used these guys in the past for Suzuki parts. They are a big Suzuki dealer located in Monterrey. If they have the parts in stock they can send them within a day and have them to you in 3. If they have to get the parts from somewhere else it will take about a week. I'd call them for you to see if they have the parts in stock but today is Sunday.
They can send the parts anywhere, a hotel etc. You are welcome to send them to me in DGO if you can make it here with the sprockets you have. I have some experience in running very warn out sprockets
and my guess it that you probably could make it here depending on how much time you plan to spend in Copper Canyon.
The way mail order works in Mexico is that: 1) You order the part fom the vendor, 2) They give you a bank account number, 3) You go to the bank and deposit the money in the account and the bank gives you a confirmation number, 4) You give the confirmation number to the vendor and they check that the deposit has been made, 5) They send the parts. It is kind of a pain but the whole thing can be done in less than an hour.
If they have the parts in stock this is the best bet, in terms of time. If they dont, any motorcycle shop in Mexico can get almost anything within reason for you in about a week. If you order from a shop they save you the trouble of having to go through this process. There is a good shop here in DGO that can get the parts in a week.

High School: He was a three-time all-state pick at wide receiver. He played in Montana's East-West Shrine Game and the Mon-Dak All-Star Game...named to the Great Falls Tribune's "Super State Team."...chosen an All-American and Montana's Player of the Year by PrepNation.com...his prep football team was the "AA" runners-up in 2007, going 10-3.

Quoting Coach Delaney: "Sam is going to be one of the two or three leaders of the entire offense, not just the receiving core. He is always where be is supposed to be, and very, very physical and tough. He just has that spark that you love to see. Sam is the type of guy, that when the tough catch has to be made, or the tough block has to be made, he will be the guy who makes it.
"I would think that Sam will have a high number of catches for us this season, but more importantly, it's what he brings to the team personality-wise."

Dinner Tonight: Homemade Meatlovers Pizza
I love this dinner. It is so easy & fast to make, despite the fact that it is homemade...dough & all. It only took me 30 minutes to make these pizza (minus cook time, about 15 min each). So, don't know what to make for dinner...you should totally try this pizza recipe out!!
On a different note. My man took my stitches out last night...and amazingly I feel SOOOO much better (aside from a little band-aid rash...what's that all about?!!). [Pictured – only 1 of my three cuts]
My doc said I could start running 2 weeks after surgery = Monday!! I have been planning my workout schedule for next week & I decided I really needed to throw some CROSS-TRAINING into my running life.
I try. Or maybe I should say I think about cross-training. But it usually ends up that I don't have time or can't work it in my schedule with the little man...excuses, excuses, blah, blah!
So, after reading an article about cross-training in Runner's World (which was a birthday present from my best friend CORRIN, THANKS SO MUCH! Got March yesterday & April today!), I decided it needs to be done. I even added it to MY GOALS THIS MONTH . [So, whether you are a runner or not...read on & try this out! Everyone can benefit from this kind of training!]
My cross-training is going to be "sport specific conditioning" cross-training. Not that I play any sports right now (although I use to be a sports MANIAC), but doing sport specific conditioning I will keep my whole body toned. That is the hope anyway!
Here's what I'm planning for next week:
Soooo, as I am no longer a "sports playing maniac" I want to know what you guys do/did for conditioning & practices in basketball & volleyball. Hook me up with some ideas!!
I think next week I'll hit up Tennis & Hiking sport specific conditioning!!

Curriculum system report lacks details
CSCOPE director claims high marks
CSCOPE's first report card is in, but the state CSCOPE director gave only a hint Friday about how the popular — but controversial — curriculum management system fared in its first outside review.
CSCOPE State Director Wade Labay said the outside evaluation by the Austin company Resources for Learning gave CSCOPE high marks for consistently covering the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the state's requirements.
However, he would not release the full report or commit to a date when information about it would be posted to the CSCOPE website at www.cscope.us.
The first phase of the evaluation began in May 2012. It reviewed only CSCOPE's science curriculum, and checked it only for its alignment with TEKS.
The results were summarized in a report delivered to Labay at the end of November, according to Linda Wurzbach, president of Resources for Learning, a company that specializes in curricula and assessments.
Her company will continue analyzing the details of science lesson plans and report findings Aug. 2.
"We are very pleased with what we have," Labay wrote Friday in an email to Record News.
He included two statements taken directly from the Resources for Learning report:
■ "The evaluators found that TESCCC (the non-profit arm of the Education Service Centers that produce CSCOPE) has produced science curricular documents with consistently high TEKS coverage and agreement between and across documents."
■ "Given the amount of material included in the CSCOPE curricular documents, the TESCCC is commended for maintaining high consistency and high coverage in representing the TEKS and SEs within and across documents."
CSCOPE was introduced in 2006 and adopted by most of Texas school districts, including all of Region 9 districts except City View.
Its online curriculum management system, which includes lessons, was written by the regional Education Service Centers and promoted to Texas superintendents at a cost of about $7 per student annually.
It was designed as an online resource to guide teachers in addressing the state's requirements as they prepare students for state tests.
Since the state recently updated its subject requirements, Texas school districts needed an updated approach.
The product came under fire as teachers divulged controversial lessons, criticized its students-teach-students, group-learning philosophy, and revealed that they had been required to sign nondisclosure agreements that prevented them from sharing CSCOPE lessons with anyone.
CSCOPE was criticized for not having had any outside editing, review or evaluation to confirm that it could deliver the results it promised.
To address that concern, Labay sought out Resources for Learning in May 2012 to begin a systematic independent review of the curriculum, starting with science and then moving to English and Spanish Language Arts/reading.
In the first phase, the company checks CSCOPE for its alignment with state requirements.
In the second phase, it analyzes CSCOPE lessons for their effectiveness.
Resources for Learning President Linda Wurzbach said Friday that she used an internal team and external panelists — subject area specialists — to conduct her analysis.
"It's very detailed, very arduous," she said. "It's a lot of cross-checking across the various documents, looking for consistency."
They are not comparing it to any other competitive product, she said. "Really, it's comparing the CSCOPE curriculum to the TEKS."
The only direction she received from CSCOPE's directors was, "Look at everything," she said. "I can guarantee you that we are seeing it all as a whole. It is very large."
Wurzbach would not divulge the results or the cost of her analysis, deferring to Labay and his timeline for releasing the information.
The report is not lengthy but hits the high points, she said, but with all the supporting documents it is "probably thousands of pages."
Her company has specialized in program development, assessments and evaluations since 1998.
"All of it is in service to improving schools and improving learning," she said. "We wouldn't take this project on if we didn't think that we could provide some insights and support for making things better for kids and teachers and schools."
Everything can be improved, she said, but CSCOPE "seems to be a great resource. We want to verify that, document that. If there are holes, then there are staff who can help improve it."
She predicted her company's report would play an important role in the future of Texas education.
"It is something to be said for the CSCOPE board that they are undertaking this rigorous evaluation," she said. "I think it's going to be very informative and will be helpful to school districts in terms of making decisions and helpful to CSCOPE in continuing to improve."
"We'll start to look at the quality of the lessons and what kind of impact they have on teaching," she said. She is still refining her approach to lesson evaluation, she said, and couldn't comment yet on how she would evaluate the role or effectiveness of CSCOPE's philosophy.
The company has also begun its examination of how both English and Spanish Language Arts/reading line up with TEKS, for a report in mid-June.
That will be followed with a study of the Language Arts/reading lesson component.

QuickStats: Mean Gestational Age, by Plurality* --- United States, 2005
* Defined as the number of live births and stillbirths delivered in the pregnancy.
Shorter gestation is associated with poorer birth outcomes, long-term morbidity, and higher infant mortality rates. The risk for shorter gestation is greater with multiple births than singleton births. In 2005, the mean gestational age for singletons was 38.7 weeks, compared with 35.2 weeks for twins, 31.9 weeks for triplets, 29.8 weeks for quadruplets, and 27.4 weeks for quintuplets and higher.

Kim Kardashian, her little sisters, Kanye West, Drake and some rando blonde girls all had dinner together at the Kardashian Kompound and Kim posted a video of their very "regular family dinner" on Keek, because why the eff not?
Well, for starters…Kim, Drake, Kanye, and the mini Jenners all just sitting at dinner is the least "regular dinner" we can imagine, but WHATEVS.
Kim posted this video on Sunday August 18th and hashtagged it #JustARegularFamilyDinner.
The video comes a day after Kylie's sweet 16 extravaganza, where Drake was the surprise performer. Kim did NOT attend her sister's birthday because she had to take her baby to a funeral.
Anyways, in the "family dinner" video, some chick named Pia Mia, who we've learned is Kylie Jenner's bestie, because we
stalk follow Kylie on Instagram, sings her little heart out to Drake's new song, "Hold On, We're Going Home."
Kim's Keek video scans the room and Kanye and Drake are rocking out to the girl's voice like it's the greatest thing they've ever heard. She's good, but c'mon, the dudes are acting like they're in the presence of Whitney Houston…everyone calm down.
The most interesting thing about this video, besides getting a sneak peak inside the just-too-famous lives of the Kardashians, is that everyone at the Kardashian dinner table is very talented ASIDE from the actual Jenner/Kardashians. Just calling it like we see it.

Customer Reviews of Brother PT-2730 PC-Connectable "Simply Professional" Labeling System
Excellent product at a bargain price!1/14/2014
I got it from Rakuten and it even came in its hard travel case that carries everything. This product is awesome and very easy to use. Manual is almost not necessary as it is very friendly user. I love it and highly recommend it for the ones who love being neatly organized like I am!
Fantastic Labeler1/13/2014
We have been using this labeler at work almost daily for two years and it works perfect every time. The software is pretty good too. Sometimes we hook it up to a computer and have it print close to a hundred labels at a time. That saves label tape because it doesn't have to print the space in between. It prints using a variety of cartridge sizes and there are multiple sized fonts that should work perfect for any application. I liked this one so much I bought one for home. By the way, there is an image in there that doesn't belong. The 2730 has a blue shift key on the left side. One of the images doesn't.
The machine works great6/7/2013
The item is light and very stable. I printed a lot of labels with no problem.
Love this product!5/21/2013
I am very impressed with all of different function that this unit have, as well as the all different cartridges that it can be used with it!
Works great... Can even print logo's and bar codes. Haven't tested how long they last yet but so far so good.. Seems like they stick well. Only down side is that they are only 1" thick max..
Awesom Labeler!!!7/26/2011
This unit can do way more then the standard P-Touch units. There are tons of preprogramed configurations and you can connect it to your PC and print virtually anything that will fit on a label. Graphics included...1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Excellent label printer at a fantastic price!4/27/2011
The labeler prints almost all of the available types and sizes of label (except the 1-1/2" I think?) It comes with a bunch of preprogrammed labels and many options on size of text and formatting. I have not used the USB connection yet, but more labels are supposed to be free to download. Comes with an AC adapter as well. Well worth the price paid.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

A truce between the Jewish state and Hamas-led Islamist guerrillas remained elusive despite intensive mediation bids.
Palestinians said residents of two southern villages were trapped by days of tank shelling, with medics unable to evacuate wounded. UN agencies said more than 140,000 people had been displaced. Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv and said its gunmen carried out a lethal ambush on Israeli soldiers in north Gaza.
With Washington's encouragement, and the involvement of Turkey and Hamas ally Qatar, Egypt has been trying to broker a limited humanitarian ceasefire for the battered enclave.
One Cairo official said it could take effect by the weekend, in time for the Eid al-Fitr festival next Monday or Tuesday, Islam's biggest annual celebration at the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
But a US official described any truce by the weekend as unlikely, as did an Israeli security cabinet minister who said the army would need one to two weeks to complete its main mission of razing tunnels used by Hamas for cross-border raids.
"If the talk is of a humanitarian hiatus for - this is not pleasant to say - removing bodies, all kinds of things that are connected to the civilian population in the short-term, this might be weighed," the minister, Gilad Erdan, told Israel Radio.
"But I will oppose any ceasefire until it is clear both that the tunnels will be destroyed and what will happen in the post-ceasefire period - how we will guarantee that quiet for the residents of Israel will really be preserved in the long-term."
The death toll in Gaza reached 729 yesterday.

Does the name Tiff Bannister ring any bells? Well it should because Tiff Bannister is the star of this infamous twerk video that was once featured on Tosh.0 and ads for porn sites around the world. In case you don't know Tiff Bannister's twerk video, watch it below.
While twerking purists will probably hate with Tiff Bannister's twerk video because it's not really twerking, there's no denying that this girl's ass and tits (seen briefly at the start of the video) are absolutely perfect. So perfect that you wish she'd star in a porn movie already so that we could see THAT ASS and those tits look when she's getting fucked. Her twerk video certainly gives us a pretty good idea that watching her big ass bounce on a big cock would be one of the best things in porn this year.
Well, I got great news for anyone who likes to see cute girls with big asses bounce on big cocks… Continue Reading
Any competition that doesn't have a clearly defined scoring system is stupid. To be more specific, the Serbian Twerk Competition (hosted a few weeks ago to determine who is the best twerker in Eastern Europe) is stupid simply because there's no clear scoring system in place that can measure who the best twerker is.
So what you have is a highly subjective competition where the judges' favorite twerker is selected rather than an objectively best twerker.
The way I see it, twerking is a lot like rolling your tongue. You can either do it or you can't, and whether or not you can do it has already been predetermined by your genes. So you can try and try all you want but there's only so much your body will allow you to accomplish.
Much has been made about the see-through dress Rihanna wore to that show where she got some kind of gala where she was given an award for her sense of style.
The Independent wrote upon seeing Rihanna's see-through diamond dress:
Rihanna, so fond of risqué dress, is using her body to cling on to her career – as are her management. She has a fine voice, but that's not what's being used to sell her. She is a beautiful girl who looks great naked so she's being marketed like a soft porn star instead of a musical artist.
Honestly, is that really a problem? Popular music has always put looks over musical talent. Why else would we accept a whole genre full of singers that don't even write their own songs and have an army of producers to clean up every imperfection in the performance?
Why The Independent felt the need to attack Rihanna for wearing a see-through dress is totally bizarre. Stranger is the fact that she wore the see-through dress to accept an award for her boundary-pushing fashion. When you accept an award for boundary-pushing fashion, you can't just show up in a boring ass ball gown. You have to wear something crazy like a dress made out of crystals that's totally see-through!
Oh my, it just occurred to me that some of you might not have seen the dress yet. Lucky for you, Sex.com users were all over it:

Aside from that weird gypsy headband, pretty awesome dress, right?
Well you ain't see nothing until you've seen Rihanna twerk in that see-through dress!
First, watch the Instagram video of Rihanna twerking in the see-through dress:
Yeah girl!
I don't know about you but I could watch Rihanna twerk in that see-through dress for hours on end. Thankfully, we can because someone turned it into a GIF! And we have no choice to declare this GIF of Rihanna twerking SEXY GIF OF THE WEEK!

Way to go RiRi.
May all your clothes be see-through from here on out.
Last night I decided to take a break from scrolling through the millions of babes pinned to Sex.com boards to see what sexiness the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show had to offer.
You'd think that Taylor Swift and the Victoria's Secret angels would satisfy my need to see sexy babes but it was pretty boring. Every year I forget that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is first and foremost a fashion show and not a couple hours of lingerie porn.
Yes, it's some of the hottest women in the world walking down the catwalk in hardly any clothing, but the whole production element of it just ruins it for me. I'm a sexy-snob, sorry.
But I don't feel like my evening was wasted watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show thanks to what Cara Delevingne instagrammed back stage. Take a look at what I'm talking about: Continue Reading
