The revamped council, and the April 23 elections, are the result of revisions to the county charter proposed in 2012 by the Charter Revision Commission and approved by the voters in November, 2012. The revisions returned the council to three members elected countywide from "residency districts" comprising San Juan, Orcas and Lopez and their respective nearby smaller islands. Nominated in a February, 2012, primary were Lovel Pratt and Bob Jarman from San Juan for District 1, Lisa Byers and Rich Hughes from Orcas Island for District 2, and Jamie Stephens and Brian McClerren from Lopez Island for District 3. Hughes, Stephens and Jarman are current incumbents on the present six-member council; Pratt is a former councilwoman who was defeated by Jarman in a 2012 council race; Byers is the director of OPAL Community Land Trust on Orcas; and McClerren is a Lopez resident making his first run for elective office. Leading up to the election, the Journal will be running a series of Q&A's with candidates from each district.

It has taken a hefty dose of courage and determination to put myself into this race. It is a reflection of my deep love for the San Juan Islands that I am deliberately seeking the most demanding, stressful and criticized job available. I am convinced, as are my supporters, that I can be that change that I seek. out a vote of the people." Worse than that, they are touting it as a demonstration of fiscal responsibility.

Nou kept the focus on his department's response to the "three D's": domestic violence, DUIs and drugs instead. For nearly two hours in a full meeting room at Skagit Valley College in Friday Harbor, Nou outlined problems created by domestic violence, drinking and driving, and illegal drugs before an attentive and inquisitive audience of 75 people at a meeting hosted by the "new Friday Harbor Grange." Nou's first remark caught the group's attention. "Every nonvehicle homicide in recent times in San Juan County has involved domestic violence," said Nou. Saying "we take it very seri- ously," Nou pointed to 74 domestic disturbance calls on San Juan Island in 2012, 15 of which resulted in an arrest. They are mostly verbal Sheriff Rob Nou arguments that get out of control, Nou said. Some involve alcohol, and the dynamics of many domestic disturbances can easily escalate into confrontations with Sheriff 's deputies, he said. One common problem Nou mentioned is that the family unit, sometimes including the children, closes ranks and refuses intervention by law enforcement. Noting that training for deputies stresses "ratcheting down the emotions quickly," Nou said a very disappointing aspect of domestic vioSee View, Page 3 Brian McClerren WEEKLY: What do you bring to the table that is different from the other candidates and why did you decide to run?

Apple CEO promises investors 'great stuff' to come
"I would say the message is, 'Keep calm and carry on,'" said Anne Simpson, who oversees corporate governance for CalPERS.
Einhorn, whose fund owns 1.3 million Apple shares, didn't appear at Wednesday's meeting.
In response to a question Wednesday, Cook said Einhorn's resistance to a shareholder vote on preferred stock remains "a silly sideshow, regardless of how a judge ruled on it." Cook remarks echoed the derisive description he used during an appearance at an investor conference earlier this month.
Cook also sounded a familiar refrain when he discussed Apple's pile of cash. "This is a serious subject, and one we deliberate on as a board and a management team. We are in very, very active discussions on it," Cook said.
Not long after Cook made similar remarks at last year's annual meeting, Apple announced plans to start paying a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share and to spend $10 billion buying back its stock in the fiscal year that began last October. Even though the dividend commitment costs Apple $10 billion annually, the company now has $39 billion more cash than it did year ago.
The prosperity underscores the ongoing popularity of Apple's products.
Although Apple is selling more gadgets than ever before, the company's profits and sales aren't growing as robustly because of fiercer competition from a multitude of other smartphones and tablet computers, including ones costing less. Apple's biggest headaches have been caused by Android, a mobile operating system that Internet search leader Google Inc. gives away to a long list of device makers led by Samsung Electronics Co.
There are now an estimated 600 million devices running on Android, giving it a lead over Apple.
Cook said Apple remains more interested in the quality of its products than the quantity sold.
"We want to make the best," Cook said. "That's why we are here."

Market Cap: [Rs.Cr.] 2,869.53 | Face Value: [Rs.] 10
Industry: Tyres
The global economic balance shifted back towards developed nations in 2013. Encouragingeconomic data in the form of decreasing unemployment and growth in the services sector inadvanced economies validated the shift. Fiscal stimulus, low interest rates andreassurance by central bankers acted as the support system to these economies. Incontrast, there was a slowdown in emerging economies like India and Brazil owing tosubdued consumer demand and inflationary pressure.
Going forward, it is expected that emerging economies will grow, backed by structuralpolicies that support investments. Improving macroeconomic fundamentals will provide thenecessary fillip for global growth, with expected growth rates pegged at an average rateof 3.7 percent in 2014 against 3 percent in 2013.

(Source: IMF, January 2014)
The challenges in the Indian economy persisted last year in the form of slow growth,high inflation and fiscal imbalances. However, there were some positive developments aswell, in the form of the continuation of policy changes, normal monsoons and globalrecovery towards the second half of FY 2013. It is expected that the GDP will grow by 5.4percent in FY 2014-15 against a projected 4.6 percent in FY 2013-14 (Source: IMF).
The global tyre market size is estimated to reach $276 billion by 2017, growing 7.9percent annually. The rise in demand of tyres will be driven by the emerging economies inthe Asia-Pacific region, especially China and India. However, improved economic conditionsin the developed economies of North America and Western Europe will also accelerate suchdemand. These developments are likely to take global tyre demand to 2.9 billion units by2017, a growth of 4.3 percent every year. Motor vehicles capture the largest proportion oftyre demand and are likely to form about 73 percent of the global tyre demand by 2017.
The Asia-Pacific region
The Asia-Pacific region is likely to account for almost two-thirds of the global tyregrowth till 2017. China is the largest as well as the fastest growing tyre marketglobally. Japan and India are also among the major tyre markets. It is expected that Indiawill outperform Japan in terms of market size, owing to the strong demand for tyres by theend of 2017.
The North American / Western European region
These regions are forecasted to grow at around 2 percent annually through 2017. Animproved economic environment will provide thrust to vehicle demand and, in turn, to tyredemand. However, the delayed replacement of personal vehicles could limit such growth.With 13 percent of the global pie, the US is likely to continue to hold the second rankglobally in terms of the tyre market in 2017.
Indian manufacturers sell $8 billion worth of tyres a year and compete with globalplayers such as Goodyear and Bridgestone. Today, India is the worlds tenth largestmarket for tyres and is on track to become the fifth largest by 2020. Tyre demand in Indiais driven by commercial vehicles as opposed to North America and Western Europe, wherepassenger vehicles deliver most of the growth.
Raw material
Price movement of natural rubber
Natural Rubber (NR) is one of the major raw materials used in the tyre industry.Therefore, its pricing and availability can significantly affect the industry and its Someof the highlights in FY 2013-14 were: Domestic NR production dropped by 10 percent inApril-December 2013 due to adverse weather. International NR prices also fellsignificantly, owing to which there was a 53 percent surge in imports in April-December2013 over the same period last year.
Domestic and international natural rubber prices are currently hovering around Rs140/kg and $1.8/kg (duty free)respectivelyas April 2014 and are expected . to remainstable in the near term due to weak demand internationally.
Minimum custom duty on imported NR was increased from Rs 20 to Rs 30 with effect fromDecember 20, 2013.
(Source: ICRA)
Other raw materials
The availability of rubber chemicals is tight due to the financial crisis of localsuppliers and environmental issues in China.
Safeguard duty was introduced for carbon black imports and is expected to result inlong-term litigation. Joint action at the industry level is being pursued.
Opportunities and threats
The transportation sector is forecasted to grow at 5.0-5.5 percent in FY 2014-15. Tyredemand, a derived demand, has strong linkage with the automobile industry. The reductionof 3-6 percent in excise duty across different automobile segments, as per the recentUnion Budget, is expected to boost future automobile sales, leading to a higher demand fortyres. Demand in the domestic replacement market is expected to remain strong, supportedby a large vehicle population built up on the back of strong automobile sales in the lastfew years.
However, due to the immense opportunities in India, foreign tyre majors are alsogetting increasingly interested in the Indian tyre market. This will lead to enhancedcompetition and may also impact market share and profitability of the domestic players.
Indian tyre manufacturers are also facing stiff competition in the export segment fromChinese counterparts due to lower prices.

Human resource management
Skill set building was one of the identified key business drivers, and all the peopleinitiatives / interventions in CEAT are being channelised in that direction.
We believe that excellence in Manufacturing and Sales can be achieved by removingoperational inefficiencies. Such inefficiencies arise out of lapses in knowledge andprocess. We tackle this by focussing on internal capability building throughinstitutionalised academies. These academies in Manufacturing and Sales were establishedand expert coaches were identified to run a system of continuous process improvement andproblem solving. Initiatives under these academies include the development of skillsmatrix for capability building, the Leadership Development Program for supervisors,training on time and condition-based maintenance, developing sales tools. This has led topositive trends in the PQCDSM parameters in Manufacturing, a higher level of engagement inworkmen, better working relationships between Sales Managers and reportees and asignificant drop in front-line attrition.
We focus on a customised and comprehensive mechanism of training needs assessment.Individual development action plans are a means to capture and bridge the competency gapsof each individual, thereby ensuring high motivation levels and engagement. Thesetime-bound action plans have enabled us to get greater buy-in from business as it balanceswell between both the behavioural and functional requirements of the individual. Coachingand development of life skills such as managing stress, self-discipline and conflictresolution are given as much attention as functional and behavioural development.Experiential programs on relationship management and coaching through reflection on360-degree feedback are conducted for all people managers. These aim at creating awarenessof ones managerial style and the behaviours associated with it. They also help indeveloping the necessary skills, behaviours and attitudes to move towards the idealmanagerial style.
Financial overview
Revenue from operations
Gross revenue for the year 2013-14 at Rs 5,846.14 crores, grew 10.2 percent over theprevious year. The growth in revenue is primarily attributable to solid growth of about 19percent in the OEM segment in both the PCR and TBR categories. The replacement segmentalso saw a growth of 11 percent over the last year. However, exports remained flat due tothe impact of volatility in the currencies against the dollar and a challenging globalenvironment.
In terms of product categories, the Company continues to focus on the high-contributionproduct categories. Advertisement campaigns have been a strong catalyst to market sharegrowth in these product categories. In the exports segment, the Company identified fiveregions in the global market to increase penetration and have now opened representativeoffices in these regions for focused growth from there.
Overall, the segment mix for the year stood at 58 percent replacement, 22 percent OEMand 20 percent exports. Moreover, the truck to non-truck and radial to cross ply ratioshave been continuously improving over the years, which has resulted in margin improvementyear on year.
Operating costs
Operating costs for the year 2013-14 at Rs 4,736.4 crores, a growth of 6 percent overthe previous year. These expenses include the cost of materials consumed, stock-in-trade,manufacturing expenses and other operating expenses. As compared to the previous year,these costs have increased, Reflecting the inflationary pressure and change in product mixin FY 2013-14. However, raw material prices remained stable during the year, and bymaintaining a judicious mix of indigenous and international purchases, operating cost as apercentage of net sales dropped by about 3 percent, thereby enabling the Company to post ahealthy EBITDA.
The above cost includes employee expenses for the year 2013-14 at Rs 289.07 crores,which increased by 7.4 percent compared to the previous year. There was a net addition of414 employees during the year.
Sales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales for the year 2013-14 at Rs350.40 crores, increasing by 22 percent compared to the previous year. This was due to thecontinued thrust on advertising of key product categories through specialised campaignsand other innovative channels.
Other income
Other income for the year 2013-14 amounted to Rs 20.54 crores, as against Rs 21.47crores for the previous year, includes royalty and dividend from investments in Sri Lanka,short-term investments in mutual funds and proceeds from the sale of flats realised duringthe year.
Finance cost
Interest expenses for the year 2013-14 reduced marginally at Rs 169.16 crores asagainst Rs 177.89 crores in the previous year. This cost reflects interest and other costsrelated to borrowing. The reduction in the interest cost is mainly attributable to thereplacement of high-cost debt with low-cost alternate loans and renegotiation of interestrates on existing long term loans by around 75 basis points. The loan portfolio of theCompany comprises a blend of long-term and short-term, domestic and foreign currencyloans. The average borrowing cost for the year 2013-14 was 9.4 percent per annum, despiteinterest rate hikes during the year.
The company posted a healthy EBITDA of Rs 618.5 Cr. (11.6%) for the year 2013-14 asagainst Rs 408 Cr. (8.4%) in the previous year, an increase of 3.20%. Higher EBITDA wasmainly due to lower input costs, change in product mix and better sales realization.
The profit after tax (PAT) stood at Rs 253.78 Cr. (4.8%) for the year 2013-14 asagainst Rs 106.35 Cr. (2.2%) in the previous year, an increase of 2.6%. The said profit isafter the extraordinary/exceptional expenses of Rs 10 Cr. on account of VRS ofapproximately Rs 7 Cr. and provisions pertaining to fire accidents of approximately Rs 3Cr. The board has proposed a dividend of 100%, that is, Rs 10 per share, as a reward toits shareholders based on strong profitability.
Liquidity and gearing
The Company continues to focus on judicious management of its working capital.Receivables, inventories and other working capital parameters are kept under strictcontrol and continuous monitoring. During the year, incremental short-term working capitalfinance was deployed to finance strategic buying decisions related to natural rubber andother key raw materials. The Company also deferred a certain portion of its currentmaturities of long-term debt through fresh long-term funds, thereby improving the currentratio compared to the previous year.
On the debt side, the metrics has shown an improvement from 1.3x the previous year to1.1x in the current year despite increased operations and working capital requirements.With good profitability, DSCR has improved.
External rating
The Companys robust performance enabled it to fetch a two-notch upgrade in theexternal credit rating assigned to its debt program, from BBB to A, by FITCH IndiaRatings. This will further strengthen the creditworthiness of the Company in the marketand help it improve on its finance cost.
Capex plans key business update
The Company achieved a full ramp up of its Halol radial facility with 80 percent of itscapacity utilisation in FY 2014. The Company has also announced an expansion of capacityat the Halol plant by 120 MT. Progress on this project is on track and production isslated to start by Q2 FY 2016. In Sri Lanka, we have proposed an investment of LKR 60 Cr.to expand passenger car and UV radial production there. The Bangladesh project is also ontrack and we expect production to start within the next 18 (eighteen) months.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its import obligations, exportrealisations and long-term and short-term foreign currency loans. Despite heavydepreciation of the Rupee and bouts of high volatility, the Company has managed its forexexposures prudently with a minimal loss of Rs 1.85 crores. The company is to hedge all itsFOREX exposure through forward contracts at inception to reduce the impact of fluctuationsfrom currency movement.
Consolidated financials
Sri Lankan operations continued its robust performance in the current year as well. Therevenue grew at about 18 percent and EBITDA and PBT margins were 24 percent and 22percent, respectively. The absolute EBITDA for Sri Lanka was Rs 109 crores and PBT was Rs98 crores. Interest for the full year stood at Rs 172 crores this year compared to Rs 181crores last year.
The consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs 658 crores in FY 14 compared to Rs 438 crores lastyear. EBITDA margins improved significantly from 8.7 percent to 11.9 percent.
Consolidated debt profile and key ratio trends
On a consolidated basis, there was positive improvement in the debt profile. The keyfinancial indicators on gearing, debt service coverage and interest service coverageshowed encouraging improvement.
The Company imbibes a philosophy of consistent innovation to cater to the changingdemands of the industry. The R&D Department at CEAT, housed at the Halol plant, is astate-of-the-art facility that focuses on new product development, alternate material andgreen tyres. Staffed with a 101-member team, the department has rolled out over a hundredproducts between Sri Lanka and India, across categories, in FY 2013-14.
During the year, the R&D team worked on several projects to reduce tyre weight andmaterial cost in order to improve margins.
Additionally, the team tied up with premium institutes and global vendors to work onprojects in nanotechnology and bio-based, hybrid materials. Some of these include: IITKharagpur and Cochin University on material projects IIT Bombay and IIT Madras on astructural engineering project
Tata Chemicals and IIT Indore for noise and related studies
The Company has embraced the Total Quality Management philosophy to enhanceorganisation-wide capabilities across diverse functions of manufacturing, sales andmarketing, material procurement, human resources and Finance. This effort is expected toresult in robust systems and processes which will enable CEAT to increase operationalefficiency, enhance customer-centricity and minimise the impact of raw material pricevolatility.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the Company is the process of identifying,analysing and evaluating risks. This includes selecting the most effective way to managebusiness risks. The objective of this risk management exercise is not to eliminate riskaltogether, but to understand it and ensure that the Company can avoid its negativeimplications while benefiting from any possible opportunity.
Risk identification and mitigation
The identification of risks is the first step in the risk management process. Thepurpose of the identification of risks is to describe events that may have an adverseimpact on the achievement of business objectives. In order to identify risks, a range ofpotential events is considered while taking into account past events and trends as well asfuture exposures.
The ERM team conducts interviews and enables prioritisation based on a risk-ratingprocess that evaluates the likelihood and impact of the risk. The ERM team focuses on theidentification of business, operational and strategic risks, as well as potentialcompliance and financial issues.
Reviewing the status of mitigation and residual risks
Once risks are identified, they are prioritised based on the impact, dependability onother functions and effectiveness of existing controls. The risks are monitored andreviewed periodically to assess the change in their likelihood and impact. Emerging risks,if any, are also documented in this process with their mitigation plans. The progress ofrisk-mitigating actions / controls is measured by evaluating the companysperformance on the Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) defined for every risk.
Commodity price volatility
The company manages the risk of volatility through a commodity desk that gathersintelligence on the market and guides procurement. Further, it has also implemented arobust Vendor management system to maintain the confidence of its suppliers and itcontinues to scout for new sourcing partners to widen its supplier base .
Radialisation in Truck & Bus segment
The company is converting its truck and bus bias capacities into other segments thathave a higher demand. It is also increasing its penetration into export markets with highacceptability for the bias tyres.
Occupational Health & Safety
The company has identified critical procedures as per OHSAS 18001:2007 and implementedthe same to ensure effective control over hazards. It has also deployed engineeringcontrols to reduce exposure. A Periodic Medical Examination program has also been rolledout to improve occupational health & safety.
Industrial Relations
The changing industrial relations climate in India posses a challenge to the company onthis front. It has taken steps at trust building with its workforce to strengthen thelabour relations at its manufacturing facilities.
The Company has an internal control system that is commensurate with the size, scaleand complexity of its operations. The scope and authority of the Internal Audit (IA)function is defined in the Internal Audit Charter.
The Internal Audit Department monitors and evaluates the efficacy and adequacy of theinternal control system in the Company, its compliance with operating systems, andaccounting procedures and policies at all the Companys locations and itssubsidiaries. Based on the report of the Internal Audit function, process owners undertakecorrective action in their respective areas and thereby strengthen the controls.Significant audit observations and corrective actions thereon are presented to the AuditCommittee of the Board.
The Indian tyre industry is expected to show a muted 2-3 percent growth in revenues inFY 2014-15 over the current estimate for FY 2013-14 of Rs 47,500 crores. Sluggishness inthe OEM automotive industry is expected to continue. However, the demand in the domesticreplacement market is expected to be comparatively stronger, supported by a large vehiclepark that has been accumulated over the last 3-4 years of strong automobile sales.
Raw material prices are expected to be stable, thereby assisting the operating marginsof tyre manufacturers. However, with stable raw material prices and a subdued demandscenario, there might be pricing pressure, which might impact operating marginsnegatively.
The Company also has expansion plans that have already been announced. These includethe expansion of the Halol radial plant with a capex of Rs 650 crores and the expansion ofthe radial tyre business in Sri Lanka with a capex of LKR 60 crores.
Statements in the Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Companysobjectives, projections, estimates and expectations may be Rs forward-lookingstatements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actualresults could differ materially from those expressed or implied.

you know what they say about people with big feet.
huge fucking socks
Ok, no problem. Try out the new korkers whitehorses. This was my first trip with them and they feel so good. The boa is guaranteed for life and stayed tight.
That would be who enjoys rowing my urine colored raft douche!
Considering I was standing on dry land when I saw your raft, it may not have been me. That being said, if it was we can't all be perfect like you and your boy Daniel. But its whatever, I wasn't seriously hating on your boat anyhow. I just found the color choice interesting.
I'm going to leave this before it goes the way of so many nymphing vs. swinging and yarnie threads. Enjoy your boats regardless of color.
Yea Evan! Enjoy your pee colored boat! God who would own one of those?
.....and here comes the butthurt.
I am going to lead by example here and simply say, please do not bring me into your negative conversations. I did not do anything wrong to you, I do not know what your problem is, but it stops now. You clearly dislike me and some others on this forum and believe me the feeling is 100% percent mutual, but that does not give you the right to come on here and be disrespectful to others especially a new guy on here by calling his boat "piss yellow".
Wow. The high road just got so taken.

Its hard for me to get butthurt. i spent 2 days in king county. im pretty hard

Tuesday (original 1991; edition 1997)
by David Wiesner
Work details
Tuesday by David Wiesner (1991)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Summary: Frogs take flight on their lily pads...THIS Tuesday
Awards: 1991 Caldecott Award
Illustrations: watercolor paintings
Age Group: 5 and up
My impressions:
Lesson Plan:
I like this book because of two reasons. First, there are no words. This may seem odd for me to like a book with no words. However, I like the fact that there are no words because it allows anyone to pick this book up and be able to read it. An advanced reader can read this book and a struggling reader can also read it. Second, the illustrations are so abstract and detailed that it becomes inviting and fun for the reader to create their own plot of what is occurring in the pictures. For example, some people continue to think of time throughout the story and others forget about time. The main message of the book is that everyone can read! A book doesn't have to have a lot of pages or a lot of text to be read.
This was the second David Wiesner book I have read and I once again found myself impressed. No words, just times. However, the times allow the reader to gauge the story line of the events and when it is taking place. In this dream-like fantasy, Wiesner takes the readers on an adventure where frogs gain super powers and are able to float around the town on their lily pads. The colors used in the illustrations were much darker than in his other books, however this allows the reader to see that it is an ordinary night with not so ordinary events. The illustrations are powerful and allow the book to have a plot without the use of words. I could see this book being appropriate for teaching students about inferences. This is because the reader has to infer what is happening by looking at the pictures and essentially reading between the lines. At first glance, it feels as though Wiesner does not give the reader much to work with. However after taking a deeper look and analyzing the pictures, you can pick up on a story that it creative and fun!
This book can be really great for ELL students. The pictures are really helpful in engaging the student and helping them relate the book to time.
Summary: This wordless picture book illustrates a non-so-typical Tuesday night with frogs flying through neighborhoods on lilly pads. One man thinks he sees something outside his window, but writes off the frogs as something impossible. The book ends with pigs flying on a different day of the week.
Personal reflection: I enjoyed the video for this book, but not the actual book itself. I had trouble finding relevance this book would have in the class room. I do enjoy the creativeness that comes from the book and I think student would enjoy that aspect as well, but I do not think I'd use it in an academic way.
Class use: I would use this book to read aloud to the students and then have them make up their own stories for Wednesday night using descriptive language.

Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0395870828, Paperback)"Tuesday evening, around eight"--a deceptively mundane beginning for what proves to be a thrilling, miraculous, and surreal amphibian journey. Slowly and quietly on this particular Tuesday, a few fat frogs begin hovering over a swamp, riding lily pads like magic carpets. Clearly satisfied and comfortable, the floating frogs are as serene as little green buddhas. Gradually, the flying fleet grows in momentum and number, sailing over the countryside and into an unsuspecting town. These frogs know how to have fun--startling the occasional bird, waving webbed feet at late-night snack-eaters, and even changing the channels on a sleeping granny's television. As day breaks, the frogs lose their lily pads, head back to the pond, and wait impatiently for their next scheduled departure.
Tuesday won the 1992 Caldecott Medal and, among other honors, was named as an ALA Notable Children's Book. The critical acclaim will come as no surprise to anyone who opens the pages of this beautiful and humorous book. With hardly any words (except those noting the time), David Wiesner creates a wondrous romp as silent as the middle of the night. Using the rich purples, blues, and greens of late evening, Wiesner draws readers into the warm, incandescent world of frog flight. "Read" this wordless wonder to children and savor it for yourself as well. Chances are, you and the youngsters will both find yourselves poised at the window, hoping to catch a few airborne frogs in the act. (Ages 4 and older)

Frogs rise on their lily pads, float through the air, and explore the nearby houses while their inhabitants sleep.

tomorrow at dawn, kathryn and i are headed to new mexico. the timing is perfect. the weather will be perfect. i couldn't be more excited.
as part of our prize package, bishop's lodge is providing us with a couples spa treatment, horseback riding, archery lessons and a private tour of the georgia o'keeffe home and museum at ghost ranch. along with trips to bandolier, tent rock city and taos, we'll have plenty to do. also we're going to karaoke at cowgirl bbq, because karaoke. obviously.
kathryn is working her tail off (as usual) and atop her usual hectic schedule, she has rehearsals four nights a week for a show opening in june (more on that after vacation). she so desperately needs a break and though we have plenty of activities planned, we're going to be sure to get lots of time poolside for some serious relaxing.
as for me, i didn't realize how much i had invested emotionally in my most recent scan. i feel healthy and had convinced myself that nothing was wrong, but i've had nasty surprises before. when this week's scope turned up clear, i felt a great weight lifted, a burden that i didn't even know was there.
kathryn came home after my procedure with a special surprise, and a wonderfully appropriate gift for the occasion: sunday morning we're going on a sunrise ride in a hot air balloon! i can't think of a more perfect way to celebrate my new weightlessness.
as an added bonus, our balloon pilot is a dead ringer for lee scoresby from the golden compass.

The Proshield Active 12 is a silicone rubber protective case that fits snugly around the Active 12 GPS unit. It has been designed to provide increased impact protection, allowing it to survive drops of up to 3m onto concrete. It also provides additional environmental protection against water and dust (IP67), making it ideal for users operating in extreme conditions or simply wanting another layer of protection for their GPS. Please note: IP67 = Total dust ingress protection, and immersion in water between 15cm and 1m depth for up to 30 minutes.

Letters to the Editor: 06.09.05
Every day there are articles in the Caller-Times about the closing of Coles Elementary School. I would like to remind those affected (parents and students) of what happened in the early '70's.
We moved to Corpus Christi in 1971. A large factor determining where we lived was based on the schools our children would attend. Yeager Elementary was the school we picked for our sixth child. Guess what? This child was bused to Los Encinos Elementary for the third and fourth grades. Yeager is several blocks from our house; Los Encinos is miles away. This experience was very traumatic for an 8-year-old little girl. The closing of Coles is based on economics; the busing of my little girl was racially motivated.
Carl Strauss
Agent's spite
For a considerable time, FBI agent W. Mark Felt had been J. Edgar Hoover's right hand man, second in command. When Hoover died, Felt had every reason to believe that he would be appointed the new director. Imagine his bitter disappointment when Richard Nixon named another to the prestigious post.
Felt got his revenge for the slight by illegally and feloniously leaking information from secret FBI files to Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein. They used this and other information to politically destroy Nixon's presidency.
Felt and the reporters who abetted his crime are protected by the statute of limitations. Time wipes out guilt.

Long walk
Graduation was excellent at Bayfront Exhibit Hall. Thursday morning, during rehearsal, I asked an employee about handicapped parking and was shown the parking garage and elevator.
Thursday evening, I drove to the parking garage and was told I needed a VIP pass in order to park. The handicapped guest was forced to walk about 500 feet to the elevator.
I hope this situation is corrected before my next visit.

Doesn't add up
I'd like to congratulate Leon Loeb for his commentary regarding the Economic Development Commission. ("EDC's job figures don't hold up to a closer look," June 1) While positive things are happening in the area, it seems to reflect a tremendous amount of chest-thumping and self-congratulation on the part of the EDC.
Perhaps it's time that the formulas become simplified to reflect reality, and reflect something consistent with what the rest of the country reports. It may not require a change of management, merely a simple modification and clarity of fact.
Joe West
Close the border
In response to the editorial on June 5 about the Minutemen not being needed, I disagree (" 'Minutemen' not needed on Texas-Mexico border"). The Minutemen are very much needed.
I forget the number of illegal aliens who cross over daily, but the count is up. Something needs to be done, and right now. They come over here for a better way of life, and if they do make it, which a lot of them do, and if the women are pregnant or get pregnant and the baby is born here, it becomes an American citizen. This costs the taxpayers a lot of money.
Though not like Social Security, there is no mention of the welfare system going broke. We still need to do something to stop them from coming over. Let's hire more Minutemen.

We believe that beer is an art that deserves to be shared with the world. Imagine, for a moment, that you could have access to every beer in the world fresh from the tap. Your favorite local brewery, your best friend's homebrew, or an international favorite… all available to you wherever and whenever you want it. Now stop imagining. SYNEK is here. Get one.
Access to 17,000+ brands from 1,200+ breweries. They are committed and excited. Yeah, that list is growing. Like weeds. Or maybe something nicer, like flowers. Flowers are nice. Sign up for the newsletter so you can hear about all the cool breweries on board. We will probably send you a meme. Caution: This may induce laughter.
"It sounds like a beer lover's fantasy."
Fully refrigerated to optimal beer tastiness setting. Want to adjust it? Go ahead. You've got full control. From near freezing to room temperature. Anything is possible.
Flow control tap. Pressurized by a refillable CO2 container. Adjustable CO2 settings. Tweak to your heart's desire or just leave on our standard settings. Kittens not included.

SYNEK bags are first ever flexible packaging that can withstand the pressures of beer and other carbonated beverages. With three primary layers that keep your beer tasting fresh for weeks longer than a growler.
The inside layer is FDA approved and doesn't react with the contents of beer (which means your beer won't taste like a metal spoon or plastic toy). Then a layer of stretched aluminum provides oxygen barrier qualities similar to cans and protects your beer from UV rays (sunlight + beer = bad beer). Finally, the bag is coated with a plastic-like polymer that adds additional strength and durability. Treat your beer right. It only deserves the best.
It really is an easy decision. People create delicious beer. You want delicious beer. Get a SYNEK. Get access. Get happiness. Have a question you need answered? Email firstname.lastname@example.com

Great K&N filter
Reviewed By Steven S (IDAHO FALLS, ID) Reviewed for a 2010 Subaru Forester —5/17/2015 3:09 PM
The K&N filter I ordered for my Subaru Forester fit just like the OEM. Great filter!
Reviewed By andrew p (bellingham, MA) Reviewed for a 2013 Subaru Forester —8/14/2014 3:29 PM
It does what it says. Great that it's reusable, maybe a bit more power and maybe a bump in mpg's but my main reason for this was the reusable nature and it filters better than kn and other oiled type filters.

Because she had already won a car earlier in the show, she couldn't believe it when she saw another one. So that faint was obvious and due to reaction. This is not the first time-- this reminds me of that one Price is Right show in the '70s when a woman fainted after finding out that she won her showcase! When you're winning a lot of prizes like that, that fainting will happen sometimes to contestants! It just makes watching game shows so exciting and fun!February 03 2010 at 1:52 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
Who won????????????
Maybe "faint" wasn't the right term, but I don't believe she faked it. When I was in my 30's I had 4 "episodes" of suddenly going unconcious. It may have looked fake to people, but it wasn't to me. The doctors finally decided it was due to a certain medication.
We don't know what was going on with this woman. She may have just been quite woind up. But I think it was when the car was announced that it really hit her. So, whatever happened, can't we just be happy for her? That is what I love about "The Price is Right" because people are so positive and happy for others when the win, and we don't see optimism and happiness otherwise in the world now.
And the show case (which the article tells us she won) was a great prize. $5000 in gift cards to use at the Mall of America and a place to stay, plus a car - you couldn't ask for more. Well most people except for the greedy folks.
It's not the first time some fainted on the show (real or not.) It happened at least 2 times over the years.January 26 2010 at 4:51 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I agree- it was fake. When someone faints, their knees buckle first and they go straight down. AND she immediately "recovered." It looked like she "fainted" the way she thought fainting should look like.January 26 2010 at 4:00 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
If that faint had lasted much longer, it would've
felt like 1980 all over again. I'd say she was
trying to recreate that moment, but she did
a terrible job of it, even after winning her
showcase. Stuff just happens on The Price
Is Right. That car reaction was nothing
compared to the other black female who
bounced around the whole stage area like
Daffy Duck over the reveal of a jeep, which
she ended up winning, much to the delight
of Bob Barker. She had a twin, as I recall.
Who cares if it was fake or not! WHO WON! It's up 2 the contestant and how they bid if they win or not. How would fake fainting help her! It's not like the producers said 'Oh, My! She fainted lets give her the win automatically!"January 26 2010 at 1:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
guess the news started this crap - yea i agree she didnt pass out - LMAO if she did one she would had hit her head - 2 yea she wouldnt had gotten up so fast - 3 the news needs to GROWUP - she was just freaked out buy the car so she felll backwards - GROW UP people wth is this world coming toJanuary 26 2010 at 1:28 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

The basketball court at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kan. is set to be named after late Oklahoma State women's basketball coach Kurt Budke. City commissioners voted unanimously Monday to qualify the center as a naming facility.
Oklahoma scene: Court in Salina, Kan., to be named after Kurt Budke
Budke, who was killed in a plane crash in November, was a Salina native and a graduate of Salina Sacred Heart High School. Budke's parents still live in the city.
The action means the court can be named in Budke's honor before the Junior College Women's National Championship Tournament, which will be held at the Bi-Center from March 20-24. Budke is a member of the NJCAA Hall of Fame after winning four championships at Trinity Valley College (Texas) in the 1990s.
The Edmonton Oilers recalled forward Mangus Paajarvi on Tuesday from the Oklahoma City Barons of the American Hockey League. Paajarvi returns to the National Hockey League team to replace Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who is expected to miss two weeks with an undisclosed injury. Paajarvi has a goal and 10 points in 14 games for the Barons, who have the best record (30-12-2-3) in the AHL.
Paajarvi is expected to join the Oilers in time for Wednesday night's game at Detroit.
The Barons announced Tuesday that forward Cameron Abney has been assigned to Stockton of the Double-A East Coast Hockey League. Defenseman Ryan Lowery, who has played 26 games this season for Oklahoma City, has been loaned to Stockton.
Oklahoma City's next game is 8 p.m. Thursday against West Division rival Abbotsford in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The teams will play at the Scotiabank Saddledome, which is home to the NHL's Calgary Flames. The Flames are the parent team for Abbotsford.

People with CLL and a specific genetic anomaly can now get the therapy
By Scott Roberts
MONDAY, July 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Approved use for Imbruvica (ibrutinib) has been expanded to include people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have a deletion in chromosome 17, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday in a news release.
People with the 17p deletion are prone to a poor response to standard therapies for CLL, the agency noted.
CLL, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, generally gets worse over time and leads to a gradual increase in white blood cells called B lymphocytes. Almost 16,000 Americans will be diagnosed with CLL and 4,600 will die from it this year, the FDA said, citing projections from the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
The expanded approval followed a clinical study of 391 people, 127 of whom had the 17p deletion. The trial was stopped early after participants treated with Imbruvica showed a 78 percent reduction in risk of disease progression or death, the FDA said.
The most common side effects reported were a decrease in infection-fighting white blood cells, diarrhea, anemia, fatigue, muscle and bone pain, upper respiratory tract infection, rash, nausea and fever.
Imbruvica was approved in November 2013 to treat mantle cell lymphoma among people who had been given at least one prior therapy.
The drug is co-marketed by Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Pharmacyclics and Horsham, Penn.-based Janssen Biotech.
More information
The FDA has more about this approval.

Without risk there is no reward.
I'm open minded and adventurous. Something I have always wanted to do is skydiving. I want to experience the exhilaration of free fall. In the winter I love to go skiing in the mountains and in the summer I like to hike and camp. Staying physically active is very important to me and should be important to who I am with. I am very close with my family and value the time I spend with them. They are my best friends and there is nothing I can't accomplish with their support. I am very easy going. I don't allow problems to get me down. I know how to have fun in any situation. I am fun loving and have a silly sense of humor. I enjoy making people around me laugh and I like it when others can make me laugh. When I think of an ideal date the activity isn't terribly important as long as I am with someone I can connect with and enjoy. Someone who I can be with and there is no such thing as an uncomfortable silence.

If there were an award for federal agencies that perform a big mission without getting much press, a good candidate might be the Army Information Technology Agency.
Despite the "Army" name, the agency is responsible for providing the IT services for just about every nook and cranny of the Pentagon, plus DoD facilities throughout most of Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia, and keeping it all secure.
Don Adcock is the agency's executive director. In this edition of OnDoD, he tells Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu about how the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks forced the Pentagon to start consolidating data centers long before the topic was on most agencies' radar screens, major IT upgrades at Arlington National Cemetery and what's next for information technology and security in the Pentagon.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.
