42" Oven build in UK
After a false start with the foundation slab which was dug up following advice from here, I will be starting my build tomorrow in earnest. The footings are excavated and the hardcore in place. Just need to whack it down and get the rebar set up and its all systems go for the pour.
I'll post photos as I go along and am happy to receive any advice, hints, tips or comments that can help to make the build go more smoothly.
I am a complete novice and have never attempted anything like this before. As you will see in the pictures, the oven is part of a larger garden landscaping project, so at times will have to take a back seat to decking and paving laying etc. I've set a rough deadline of completion of the whole garden by 1st June, which will be tough, but am looking forward to the challenge.

Re: 42" Oven build in UK
Were you planning on a vapor barrier?
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
Oh yes, forgot to put that. Will put it down once I've whacked the rubble down.
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
Greetings unclebhuna - It seems that you have already put some thought and a lot of effort into your build. Plenty of good advice available here from many more skilled and experienced than me.
What are you going to build, igloo, doghouse?
Some people are just nosey. :)
Look forward to following your build and I expect that it will be full steam ahead after your severe winter.
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
Hi Greenman. I have put a little thought into my build but have much to learn and am flying by the seat of my pants if I'm honest. I've done the pour today and will post some pics later. Very happy with it. Have got a good 5 inches of concrete and plenty of reinforcement bar in it. Going for an igloo with the outer done in reclaimed Accrington brick. Best brick in the world! They were made about 5 miles from me and were used in the foundations in the Empire State Building.
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
It really looks like you are on your way. You have quite a project going. I am in the middle of my build and anxious to see how yours go's. It looks like the new slab is going to be done right. After we were making suggestions last time, I picked up a bunch of block for mine. It was 8000 lbs. This is before the oven get's built and before the concrete get's poured on top of my stand.
These things are very heavy!!
Looking good.
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
A combination of skill and industry with some history built in. I love it!

The slab seems to be curing nicely. I'll post a couple of pics and also some of the bricks I'll be using for the outside of my igloo. Got them for free out of a skip where someone was doing a house renovation. Took three trips in the car but well worth it.
Re: 42" Oven build in UK
Good start!

- Presentations highlight Palomid 529 as an anti-angiogenic, anti-tumor
Akt/mTOR inhibitor -
JAMAICA PLAIN, Mass., Apr 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Paloma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced it has presented three presentations at the 2008 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research describing cancer drug Palomid 529 (P529).
P529 is a non-steroidal, synthetic, small molecule dual acting anti-angiogenic and direct anti-tumor agent created through computational design, synthetic and medicinal chemistry, the result of three generations of Palomid design work. Palomid's broad activity as an anti-angiogenic agent and anti-tumor agent is shown to reside in its ability to target and inhibit the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal transduction pathway as a TORC1/TORC2 inhibitor.
The first of the three presentations, "Palomid 529, a Dual Acting Anti-angiogenic and Direct Anti-tumor Agent Affecting the PI3K/Akt/mTor Pathway," was be given by Dr. David Sherris, President and CEO of Paloma Pharmaceuticals. The second presentation, "Palomid 529 (P529) inhibits tumor angiogenesis and selectively inhibits the Akt but not MAPK signaling pathways," was given by the laboratory of Dr. Laura E. Benjamin of the Department of Pathology and Center for Vascular Biology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. The last presentation, "Enhancement of radiotherapy in prostate cancer by the dibenzo[c]chrom-6-one derivative P529" was given by the laboratory of Dr. Alfonso Calvo of the Division of Oncology, Center for Applied Medical Research, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
"mTOR and the protein complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 are excellent targets for cancer therapy because they provide important signaling links to tumor and stromal pathways dysregulated in many cancers," said Dr. Benjamin whose work has helped to understand the mechanism of action of P529.

Feel good and not so feel good news out of Packer training camp. On July 31 the Packers teamed up with police and community agencies to give away 500 bike helmets to kids. http://wearegreenbay.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=145572 And it was announced that Linebacker Erik Walden is suspended without pay for one game for violating the personal conduct policy after reaching a deferred judgment agreement in his domestic disorderly case from Thanksgiving. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82af432b/article/erik-walden-of-green-bay-packers-suspended-for-season-opener The suspension struck me as interesting because, although most of football nation will hardly note a one game suspension, it shows how football players are treated differently. For good reason, one could argue, our youth emulate them and we demand their handlers, the league, do something when they misbehave in addition to legal sanction. We demand extra-legal punishment.

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The only way you could do that would be to handle it on the application side, as far as I know. I assume you have a UDP socket getting some kind of real time data and that you only care about the latest / most recent packet of data to arrive. If that's the case you could do something like the following pseudo code:

The periodical occurrence of dinucleotides with a period of 10.4 bases now is undeniably a hallmark of nucleosome positioning. Whereas many eukaryotic genomes contain visible and even strong signals for periodic distribution of dinucleotides, the human genome is rather featureless in this respect. The exact sequence features in the human genome that govern the nucleosome positioning remain largely unknown.
When analyzing the human genome sequence with the positional autocorrelation method, we found that only the dinucleotide CG shows the 10.4 base periodicity, which is indicative of the presence of nucleosomes. There is a high occurrence of CG dinucleotides that are either 31 (10.4 × 3) or 62 (10.4 × 6) base pairs apart from one another - a sequence bias known to be characteristic of Alu-sequences. In a similar analysis with repetitive sequences removed, peaks of repeating CG motifs can be seen at positions 10, 21 and 31, the nearest integers of multiples of 10.4.
Although the CG dinucleotides are dominant, other elements of the standard nucleosome positioning pattern are present in the human genome as well.
The positional autocorrelation analysis of the human genome demonstrates that the CG dinucleotide is, indeed, one visible element of the human nucleosome positioning pattern, which appears both in Alu sequences and in sequences without repeats. The dominant role that CG dinucleotides play in organizing human chromatin is to indicate the involvement of human nucleosomes in tuning the regulation of gene expression and chromatin structure, which is very likely due to cytosine-methylation/-demethylation in CG dinucleotides contained in the human nucleosomes. This is further confirmed by the positions of CG-periodical nucleosomes on Alu sequences. Alu repeats appear as monomers, dimers and trimers, harboring two to six nucleosomes in a run. Considering the exceptional role CG dinucleotides play in the nucleosome positioning, we hypothesize that Alu-nucleosomes, especially, those that form tightly positioned runs, could serve as "anchors" in organizing the chromatin in human cells.
The periodical distribution of various dinucleotides along eukaryotic DNA sequences with a period of 10-11 bases is commonly considered as the manifestation of a nucleosome positioning signal present in the sequences [1-8]. The period, the more accurate value of which is 10.4 bases [9-12], corresponds to the helical repeat of DNA in the nucleosome. The positioning signal in human nucleosomes is rather weak and lacks the periodical AA and TT dinucleotides [13], while in yeast and nematodes the periodical nucleosome signals are dominated by AA and TT dinucleotides [5,6]. However, RR and YY dinucleotides, GG and CC in particular, have been shown to contribute to the human nucleosome positioning signal [13,14]. Whole-genome calculations for 13 diverse eukaryotes [8] confirmed the exceptional lack of visible dinucleotide periodicities in the human genome, where only CG showed a signal. Nucleosomes on Alu sequences, which are known to contain strongly periodical CG dinucleotides, are apparently representatives of a special class.
The full human genome sequence (build hg18) was copied from the UCSC genome server http://www.genome.ucsc.edu webcite. The sequence had been assembled by the International Human Genome Project sequencing centers (March 2006). For filtering out repeats, the sequence data available under the label "masked" (hg18, file ChromFaMasked.zip, genome.ucsc.edu) was used.
All programs employed to calculate the DNA composition and derivation of the distance diagrams (autocorrelations) are either Perl scripts or C++ programs, both original. The auto-correlation was calculated as follows. For a dinucleotide MN at a given position, all distances to other MN dinucleotides downstream were counted and restricted to the size of the window. This was applied to all dinucleotide occurrences in the sequence. Essentially, the procedure scores all distances and reveals those which are preferred. The routine was disrupted when filtered repeat sequences or the end of a chromosome occurred within the window size limit. In order to avoid the end effect of the short-range distances in the positional correlation analysis, the last dinucleotides within the window size region at the sequence ends were excluded.
For the mapping of Alu sequences, the human Alu-Sx subfamily consensus sequence [15] was matched with the full human genome, using the software BLAST (release 2.2.21, taken from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/executables/ webcite) with standard (default) searching parameters. When starting positions of the matches were less than 250 bases apart, only the upstream copies were selected.
Results and Discussion
CG-periodicities in the human whole-genome sequence
The whole-genome distance analysis of the human genome sequence reveals an obvious 10.4 base periodicity for the dinucleotide CG only, but not for any of the other dinucleotides. The autocorrelation functions for AA and CG are shown in Figure 1. CG dinucleotides do show distinct peaks of high relative amplitudes at distances 31 (10.4 × 3) and 62 (10.4 × 6), characteristic for Alu sequences [16]. The other peaks in the CG histogram are typically 8 bases apart, and correspond to the hidden 8 base periodicity of the Alu sequences (ibid.). In contrast, AA dinucleotides display no periodicity (Figure 1).
Figure 1. AA and CG dinucleotides in the human genome. Positional autocorrelation of AA and CG dinucleotides in the complete human genome. The normalized histograms of occurrences of the dinucleotide pairs at distances 2-80 bases from one another are shown. The histograms are smoothed by running average of 3 positions. Level 1.0 corresponds to average scores of the respective raw histograms (3.29 × 107 for AA and 6.38 × 105 for CG). Two peaks on the CG curve (arrowheads, at positions 31 and 62) correspond to 10.4 × 3 base distances between CG dinucleotides in Alu sequences (see text). Vertical grid lines indicate the 10.4 base nucleosome DNA period.
When Alu repeats as well as all other repeating sequences are removed from the genome, using the "masked" version of the human genome (see Methods), the high and sharp CG-peaks at positions 31 and 62 bases disappear. Instead, the broad peaks at positions 10, 21 and 31 (Figure 2) appear, at positions that are the nearest integers to multiples of 10.4 bases (e.g., 10.4, 20.8, 31.2). No other dinucleotide periodicities in the human genome sequence are detected this way, confirming the earlier result [8]. The CG-containing Alu-sequences and periodical CG dinucleotides in the non-repetitive bulk of human DNA seem to be the only signatures of nucleosome positioning in the human genome (Figures 1 and 2), which can be revealed by the positional autocorrelation analysis. A more advanced and powerful method of extraction of the nucleosome positioning pattern is the Shannon N-gram extension [17], recently introduced to chromatin studies [18]. It allowed derivation of both dominant (TAAAAATTTTTA) and CG-containing (CGGAAATTTCCG) nucleosome positioning patterns for the human genome. The latter one is identical to the pattern for C. elegans nucleosomes [7] and apparently, represents those CG-containing human nucleosomes which cause the unusual CG-periodicity in the non-repetitive regions of human DNA. Other elements of the above CG-containing pattern may appear periodical when the nucleosome DNA sequences are analyzed rather than whole genome sequences (work in progress).

The plots are derived and treated as in Figure 1. The levels 1.0 correspond to normalized averages of the scores, within the interval 0-80 bases (1.13 × 107 for AA and 2.75 × 105 for CG). Three 10.4 × n maxima (at positions 10, 21 and 31) are indicated by arrows.
A possible chromatin organizing role of Alu sequences
A model chromatin built from weak nucleosomes would very likely be unstable, having a loose structure and allowing for nucleosome sliding to alternative positions. One possible arrangement to avoid such instabilities would be the introduction of a certain number of strong uniquely positioned "anchoring" nucleosomes. These would serve as chromatin organizers, thus limiting the freedom of sliding of the other nucleosomes in between. Such a hypothetical arrangement has been previously described as the "parking lot model" [19].
The role of such hypothetical "anchors" in human chromatin may be played by the nucleosomes positioned on the Alu-sequences. The Alu-sequences contain the CG dinucleotides 31-32 bases apart, that is, at multiples of the nucleosome DNA period [16]. As periodical positioning of CG dinucleotides is an important component of the nucleosome positioning pattern [7], the Alu-sequences could be very well suited for nucleosome formation. Such nucleosomes are, indeed, observed experimentally [20,21]. Moreover, it has been demonstrated recently that the Alu-sequences have influence on the positioning of neighboring nucleosomes [22]. Size-wise, every Alu-sequence may harbor two nucleosomes. However, the Alu-sequences often appear also as tandem dimers and even trimers. In Figure 3, the histogram of distances between the Alu-repeats is shown. Two peaks are observed, at positions ~310 and ~620, corresponding to Alu-dimers and trimers, respectively. The tandem dimers (trimers) of Alu-sequences would contain four (six) nucleosomes each. Such "frozen" combinations of two, four or more tandem nucleosomes, additionally stabilized by their periodical arrangement, could presumably act as those hypothetical anchors. According to our calculations, the human genome contains a total of 1.16 million of such hypothetical Alu-anchors, of which 1,020,000 are singular repeats, 116,000 are dimers and 18,000 are trimers. This corresponds to an average spacer between the Alu sequences or Alu sequence clusters of about 2300 base pairs (tail to head), space enough to accommodate 10-15 nucleosomes. At this point, we would like to propose that repeat sequences in general may well have such a chromatin organizing function. The (19)n and (35)n tandem repeats of C. elegans [23], which contain the standard nucleosome positioning pattern AAATTTCCGG would be sites of formation of strong nucleosomes if our hypothesis holds. Tandemly repeating α-satellite sequences of primates carrying nucleosomes [24] and mouse 234-base satellite nucleosomes [25] could serve as two more examples of potential chromatin anchors.

The dual role of CG dinucleotides
It was not until recently that evidence emerged on the role CG dinucleotides may have in nucleosome positioning. Their appearance in Alu-sequences at distances of multiples of 10.4 bases (31 or 32 bases) was the first indication of their phasing function [16]. Next, the analysis of the nucleosome DNA sequences of C. elegans showed that CG dinucleotides do have an unusually high positional preference within the 10-matrix of DNA bendability [7]. Finally, a spectacular 10.4 base periodicity of CG in the genome of A. mellifera, the honey bee, was discovered [8]. It turned out that the CG dinucleotide is, actually, among the strongest periodical elements (after AA and TT) in eukaryotic genomes.
The second obvious role of the CG dinucleotide is its potential to undergo C-methylation/-demethylation in many eukaryotic organisms. This modification is known to crucially impact gene expression and is leading to epigenetic phenomena [26,27]. It is known also, that the DNA methyltransferases preferentially target nucleosomes [28,29], so that the methylated CpGs are distributed with the period ~10 bases along the nucleosome DNA [29]. Nucleosomes containing CG dinucleotides in key positions for the nucleosome stability - in the minor grooves at the interface DNA/histones [7,30] - could be called epigenetic nucleosomes [16]. The C-methylation in CG dinucleotides may tune the stability of the nucleosomes in promoter regions [27], and modulate the stability of the proposed anchor nucleosomes, e. g., Alu-nucleosomes, containing many CG dinucleotides. In [31] it is demonstrated for the first time that CpG methylation renders compactness to nucleosomes, with DNA bound more tightly to the histone octamers.
Are the weak nucleosomes phased?
The poor manifestation of dinucleotide periodicities in the human genome, namely CG only, suggests that the majority of human nucleosomes are rather weak. This means that there is only weak pressure by the nucleosome positioning signal. As experiment [32] and calculations (Gabdank et al., unpublished data) show, even in the highly periodical genome of C. elegans, the majority of the nucleosomes are as weak as the "nucleosomes" mapped on random sequences. The mouse genome in which no dinucleotide periodicity is emerging with autocorrelation calculations [8], is especially interesting in this respect. This is a nightmare case for signal hunters, although there definitely must be a certain sequence specificity for chromatin organization. After all, the DNA in the mouse genome is packed into nucleosomes as well, and the mouse chromatin is not known to be any different from typical mammalian chromatin. It would be incorrect though, to conclude that weak nucleosomes are randomly distributed along the sequences. Let us consider a hypothetical natural sequence in which the positioning signal is not introduced. In that sense, the sequence would be "random". But the histone octamers would still bind to those segments of the sequence that do have some resemblance to the standard positioning pattern. They will form weak nucleosomes at specific positions along the sequence. The non-randomness of nucleosome positioning in natural genomes is evidenced by the existence of the "nucleosome repeat lengths" [33], from 160 to 240 bases, depending on the species.
For detection of the periodical repetition of the DNA bendability pattern, whole-genome sequences with very weak or invisible periodicities are not suitable. The periodical signal extraction will probably succeed when it is applied instead to the comprehensive nucleosome DNA database sequences (work in progress). Due to the affinity of histone octamers to the segments with highest bendability, the sequences of the databases will contain the signal. For its extraction, the signal regeneration procedure can be used as described in [7]. This study and others [18,34] show that, no matter how weak the nucleosome positioning signal is, it can be traced and even characterized by one or another signal processing technique. It also shows that due to apparently species-specific sequence preferences, various different components of the general nucleosome positioning pattern can be used by different organisms. The preferential use of CG dinucleotides in human chromatin is the illustration. At the same time, since the physics of nucleosome positioning should be the same everywhere, the same universal pattern [35] should be used by all species. This does not exclude though, that there can be species-specific biases towards this or other selections of dinucleotides predominantly used for positioning of nucleosomes [8]. Finally, with the identification of nucleosome positioning CG and other dinucleotides, it seems very natural to extend these considerations to the variable sites in the eukaryotic and (especially) the human genome. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), SNP haplotypes, repetitive sequences, whether stable or subject to expansion or contraction, appear in a new light, as respective nucleosomes involved may vary in strength and/or position.

Official from same UN that allows Iran on women's rights council: Vatican's anti-abortion canon 'psychological torture' of women
**Written by Doug Powers
The United Nations is such a joke that their meetings should be held at The Improv.
From Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner:
The United Nations is stepping up its attack on the Catholic Church's historic opposition to abortion, suggesting at a meeting Monday in Geneva that it amounts to "psychological torture" of women and should be repealed, a move Vatican officials refuse to consider.
A member of the United Nation Committee Against Torture also charged that the church's anti-abortion stance has led women to seek out dangerous abortions, according to a pro-church representative at the Geneva hearing Monday.
"They are almost blaming the Catholic Church for unsafe abortions," said Ashley E. McGuire of the group Catholic Voices USA in a telephone call from Geneva. "The church doesn't believe there is anything as a safe abortion," she added.
Among the questions about the Vatican's anti-abortion position raised by the torture committee Monday was how it impacts the minds of women. One U.N. questioner said the "restrictions amount to psychological torture" of women, according to McGuire. "That's crazy," she added.
Read it all here. LifeSiteNews also covered the story.
Keep in mind that's coming from an official at the same U.N. that has Iran sitting on its women's rights committee.

How I can change the currency to €?
How I can change the currency to €?
Hello there,
In struggling with the same problem. Seamless Donations looks like a great tool to work with, but useless when only applicable with the $ sign.
I tried changing the currency sign in dgx_donate.php, but that did not solve the case. When connecting to PayPal the $ sign keeps on pupping as the current currency. So if anyone has a clue on how to fix this I would be very much abliged.
Thanks in advance,
Hi William,
I left Seamless Donations for this reason. Finally I used Easy WordPress Donations.
Hi everyone!
Euros are now supported - see version 2.8.1

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Margaret Cho Brings 'Mother' Tour to Fox Theater at Foxwoods, Feb 2013; Tickets on Sale 10/26
Critically-acclaimed comedienne, Margaret Cho, will make her return to Foxwoods on Feb. 1, 2013 at 8 p.m. to showcase her brand new stand-up show, "MOTHER," at Fox Theater. Cho's latest project offers up an untraditional look at motherhood, including how we look at maternal figures and strong women in queer culture. Considered her edgiest show to date, "MOTHER," is filled with riotous observations on race, drugs, celebrities, culture, politics and sexuality – gay, straight and everything in between – and of course, nothing is sacred.
Tickets are $30, $45, and $60, and are available for pre-sale on Ticketmaster and Comix on Thursday, Oct. 25, and for regular sale Friday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. The show is presented by Comix At Foxwoods and is intended for mature audiences only.
The two-time Grammy Award nominee recently proved her remarkable versatility when she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series" for her hilarious stint on the award-winning sitcom, "30 Rock," where she acted as gender-bending North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il. As a long-time veteran of the comedy scene, Cho has established herself as one of the most daring stand-up queens in the industry. She currently stars in the popular Lifetime series, "Drop Dead Diva," and has embarked on multiple sold-out national comedy tours.
In 1999, she starred in her groundbreaking, off Broadway one-woman show titled "I'm the One That I Want." She took her show on a nation-wide tour, receiving positive reviews every step of the way. Her nationally-acclaimed showcase was then created into a best-selling book and feature film, which helped launch her career as a wildly successful Asian-American female comic.
Most known for her bold personality and fearless demeanor, Cho has never been one to turn her back against important causes. In June of 2011, she was recognized by LA Pride, where she received a Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing an individual whose lifetime body of work has left a lasting major imprint on the LGBT community. She has received other numerous awards and accolades for her unwavering dedication and contribution to many activist groups.
Tickets are available online at www.comixatfoxwoods.com; through Ticketmaster; by calling the MGM Grand Theater Box Office at 866-646-0609; or in person at the Comix, Fox Theater, or MGM Grand Theater Box Offices. Please contact the Comix Comedy Club at 860-312-5050 for additional information or with questions regarding group sales or private parties.

Olive Branch names its Officer of the Year
An Olive Branch police officer who felt a little out of place when he first arrived from Massachusetts was named Officer of the Year this week by the command staff.
Skip Schreffler, 37, was given a trophy and certificate at an awards dinner Monday.
"I was surprised," said Schreffler, who is assigned to a northern ward of the city for patrolling. "I was honored they'd choose me."
The Police Department also named Toya Allison as Dispatcher of the Year, for the second year in a row.
Bonnie Barnes was named School Crossing Guard of the Year. She works at Blocker Street and Pigeon Roost Avenue near Olive Branch Middle School.
Schreffler, who once served in the Navy, had been an officer in Bellingham, Mass., for five years when his family moved so his wife could be closer to her family. He joined the Olive Branch department in October 2005.
Schreffler had been trained in the Northeast to not be overly friendly as an officer. He was even instructed to never shake hands because it put him at a disadvantage.
The South was different, friendlier, Schreffler said, and he did not adjust immediately. His stiff, serious demeanor was sometimes misinterpreted as unfriendly, perhaps mean.
"I used to get a lot of complaints," he said. "It's quite different policing, the way you communicate with the public."
Officers, who regularly rib each other anyway, kidded Schreffler. Last Christmas, he even considered returning to New England. He visited his family there and rode with old cop buddies.
"When I went back up there, it just wasn't the same," he said. "So I think I've learned I like this way of policing better. You can actually accomplish more of your goals" this way.
Despite the period of adjustment, the command staff quickly saw in Schreffler a model officer. He'd been with the department less than a year when he was asked to become a field training officer, training new, incoming officers.
Chief Art Heun said they look for someone with experience and job knowledge who is even tempered and enjoys teaching others.
"Officers with that kind of attitude, we just come out with a better-trained officer," Heun said.
Trainees spend three weeks of their 10-week training period with Schreffler, who finished studies this year for a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. He said training others is a favorite part of his job.
"I really do love this job," Schreffler said. "The fact that I can train other officers ... makes me happy."
Schreffler doesn't just shine for his training abilities, the chief said. Heun said Schreffler was chosen from among several good, quality officers because of overall excellence and consistency.
"You can depend on Skip to be here, have the right attitude and get the job done -- everyday," Heun said.

ONB reports strong increase in earnings
An increased demand for loans — and an improvement in loan credit quality — helped boost Old National Bancorp's earnings last quarter.
The Evansville-based bank had net income of $27.2 million (29 cents per diluted share) in the second quarter, the company reported Monday. That represents a 60 percent increase over the same period a year ago, when earnings were $17.0 million (18 cents per diluted share).
Interest on loans is an important source of income for banks, and Old National's loan portfolio increased last quarter.
Bob Jones, the company's president and chief executive officers, said customers are becoming more willing to borrow money.
"We saw organic loan growth for the first time in the past several quarters," Jones said.
"I think our customers are starting to say, 'We've waited long enough.'"
The bank's total loan portfolio as of June 30 was $4.72 billion, up from $4.67 billion at the end of the previous quarter.
Net interest income — the difference between what a bank pays in interest and what it earns in interest — was $76.0 million last quarter, as compared to $62.3 million during the same period last year.
The 2012 figure includes $4.0 million associated with Old National's acquisition of Bloomington, Ind.-based Monroe Bancorp, and $10.1 million associated with its acquisition of Integra Bank.
As Old National's loan portfolio grew, the bank said, the credit quality of its loans also improved.
The bank's net charge-offs last quarter totaled $1.5 million, or 0.13 percent of all loans. That compares to $5.8 million (0.56 percent of total loans) a year earlier.
An exception to this trend, Old National said, was the number of what it calls "special mention" loans — loans that could become future problems based on the borrower's current financial status.
Special mention loans totaled $119.3 million last quarter, up from $77.1 million the previous quarter.
When Old National acquired Integra last summer, it entered into a loss share agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor. Under that agreement, Old National is reimbursed for 80 percent of covered Integra losses.
Excluding those covered loans, special mention loans last quarter totaled $103.1 million.
Total noninterest expenses were $86.0 million last quarter, up from $79.8 million a year earlier. That increase came despite the bank's cost-cutting efforts, which included the closure of 31 automated teller machines.
Shares of Old National closed at $12.22 Monday on the Nasdaq market, up 10 cents.

A group of artists is looking to turn two of the 500 empty lots in Kansas City's Ivanhoe neighborhood into community gathering places.

Thanks to a similar effort, a lot already has been transformed in the Marlborough neighborhood.

Mark Buehrle released a statement firing back at the Miami Marlins who recently traded him along with Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and others to Toronto. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm upset with how things turned out in Miami,ŌĆØ Buehrle said in a statement to the Sun Sentinel. ŌĆ£Just like the fans in South Florida, I was lied to on multiple occasions.

MINNEAPOLIS In the winter of 2005-06, 35-year-old Taj McWilliams-Franklin traveled to Korea to play during the WNBA offseason. It was the seventh foreign country she'd played in after 10 years of professional basketball, and the veteran had seen her fair share of the game around the globe. But that winter sticks with her. She was asked to wake up at 8 a.m. each day for organized stretches. She didn't want to get up that early, not after late-night games, not with a body that was already beginning to hint at the stresses of age. She did, though, and soon she began to notice a difference. Once the stretching became a routine, there was immediate relief and, even better, a long-lasting improvement. She felt better after games, more energized and loose, and when McWilliams-Franklin returned to the United States, she began to incorporate the stretching into her morning routine. She's still doing it today, everything from calf and quad stretches to breathing exercises and meditation. M...

MINNEAPOLIS Twins manager Ron Gardenhire talked before his team's home opener Monday about Minnesota's lack of offense through its first three games. The Twins scored just five total runs in the season-opening series against the Baltimore Orioles and failed to score more than two runs in a game. Gardenhire delivered a similar message following Monday's 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. "We've got to come up with hits," Gardenhire said. "We've got hitters that we think can hit the baseball. We've got to score some runs." Both hits and runs have been tough to come by early on for Minnesota. Prior to Monday, only Atlanta had fewer hits (14) than the Twins (15). Minnesota's five runs through its first three games were the fewest in all of major league baseball. With just one run and five hits Monday, that didn't change much for Gardenhire's club as they faced new Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson. The Twins have now managed just six runs and 20 hits through four games. As a result ...

Starkville Community Theater unveils its newest summer musical tonight with the premiere of ŌĆ£SCT: UnpluggedŌĆØ at 7:30 p.m. in downtown Starkville.
Director Carole Sorenson said the musical has a different feel compared to previous years, but audiences will be excited about the music selected.
The Starkville 8-year-old All Stars are coming into the Dizzy Dean World Series with a lot of confidence.
The All-Stars face off against Bradley (Tenn.) North Heat today at 1 p.m. at Snowden Grove Park in Southaven.
Starkville is coming off a good showing in the state tournament and coach Tom McReynolds hopes that carries over.
HOOVER, Ala. ŌĆō Johnthan Banks didn't spent Southeastern Conference Media Days talking about himself.
The former East Webster High School player who has developed into an All-SEC defensive back at Mississippi State decided to promote his teammates more than himself at the Wynfrey Hotel on Wednesday.
HOOVER, Ala. ŌĆō Mississippi State fans have long waited for the day when their beloved Bulldogs displayed a high-flying, high-octane offense.
When quarterback Tyler Russell signed with Mississippi State, that fire was stoked giving way to the anticipation of when the Meridian native would lead the offense.
HOOVER, Ala. ŌĆō Gabe Jackson really didn't know what to expect from Southeastern Conference Football Media Days.
The 6-4 320-pound junior guard from Liberty made all the stops on his first appearance at SEC Media Days.
HOOVER, Ala. ŌĆō The NCAA has implemented several new rule changes for the upcoming season.
The most significant being moving the kickoff to the 35-yard line from the 30-yard line and making a touchback go to the 25-yard line rather than the 20-yard line like it has been in years past.
With summer steadily coming to a close, the cook-outs, family reunions and revivals are in full swing.
One of the greatest traditions to come out of the South is the deviled egg. While Southerners are not responsible for the dishŌĆÖs inception, they are certainly accountable for the preparation and clockwork-like delivery of this get-together staple.

Can he do it again on Stage 12 of the Tour de France?
That' s the question that most folks are asking about Mark Cavendish who seems to be unbeatable when it comes to the sprinter' s stages like the upcoming stage 12.
Or could stage 12 of the Tour de France finally be just hilly enough that a breakaway succeeds?
The 211.5-kilometer (131.4-mile) stage will head from Tonnerre to
Vittel, the city known for bottled water and the name of the bottled
water company that sponsors the Tour De France. Tonnerre has never
hosted the Tour while Vittel has done so six times in the past.
So will Mark Cavendish do it again?

On Saturday night I was just hanging out at home washing my hair, doing my nails and what not when around 6:30 I received an email from a friend of mine in the fantasy sports writing industry. This unnamed fantasy sports writing expert enjoys playing daily fantasy basketball and he had a "who to start" lineup question for me. His choices were Jason Thompson, Derrick Favors or Ersan Ilyasova. My initial response, being the smart ass that I sometimes can be was, "What is this, suck ass night?". Hey, I had just washed my hair, I was feeling good! Anyway, my suggestion was to go with Ersan under the theory that he was due. Was just a hunch! I have hunches. Needless to say Ersan went out and dropped 27/14/4 with 3 threes and a block in 26 minutes that night. Needless to further say my friend couldn't get to his computer in time to get Ersan in and didn't win any money that night. Oops!

If you were hoping that the NCAA would add another bowl game or two to the schedule in the near future, you're going to have to wait at least another three years for it to happen.
In April, NCAA president Mark Emmert called for a moratorium on bowl games during an investigation of the Fiesta Bowl and the way the game spent the money it made. The investigation eventually led to the bowl's CEO John Junker being dismissed from his role.
At the time, Emmert said the actions taken by Fiesta Bowl officials -- along with the questionable spending practices of the Orange and Sugar Bowls -- "call into question both the integrity and the quality of oversight of such events."
When Emmert and the NCAA announced the moratorium on bowl games, they gave the schools 60 days to "appeal" the NCAA's decision, and, as the USA Today points out, that 60-day window passed by earlier this week without a word of protest from any of the schools.
Which means that there won't be any new bowl games added for at least the next three years. Which, in my opinion, is perfectly fine by me. The only way a new bowl game should be added to the schedule is if it's replacing an old one because 35 bowl games every season is more than enough. Having 35 games means that 70 of the 120 FBS schools are playing in a bowl game every season. Which also means that we get a lot of 6-6 teams being rewarded for having extremely mediocre seasons.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that bowl games are rewards for players, which I have no problem with. But when you start rewarding teams for losing just as many games as they won, it starts to feel like a tee-ball game in which nobody is keeping score and everybody gets a trophy.
