Genuine Parts Company Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year Results For 2013 - Record Sales and Earnings for 2013 - PR Newswire ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2014 ATLANTA, Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC) reports fourth quarter results and record sales and earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081002/CLTH108LOGO ) Tom Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, announced today that sales in 2013 were $14.1 billion, up 8% compared to 2012. Net income for the year was $685 million, an increase of 6% compared to $648 million in 2012. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $4.40, up 6% compared to $4.14 in 2012. Included in the Company's full year 2013 results are the previously recognized one-time positive purchase accounting adjustments of $33 million, or $0.21 net of taxes on a per share diluted basis. These adjustments are associated with the April 1, 2013 acquisition of GPC Asia Pacific, formerly Exego. Additionally, the Company's pension plan was amended to freeze future benefit accruals for all participants as of December 31, 2013. In connection with this amendment, effective in December 2012, the Company recorded a one-time noncash curtailment gain of $23.5 million, or $0.10 and $0.09 net of taxes on a per share diluted basis for the fourth quarter and full year 2012, respectively. Mr. Gallagher stated, "We are pleased to report that 2013 was another year of record sales and earnings for Genuine Parts Company. Our overall results reflect the good job that was done by the GPC Team in 2013, despite the challenging market conditions that were experienced by our non-automotive business segments. We further strengthened our financial condition with increased net income and a continued emphasis on effectively managing the balance sheet. Our progress in these areas produced record cash flows for us in 2013, with cash from operations at $1.1 billion and free cash flow of approximately $600 million." Mr. Gallagher added, "The Company's revenue growth in 2013 was driven by an 18.5% Automotive sales increase, offset by a combined 1% sales decrease for our non-automotive businesses. Acquisitions for the Automotive Group drove the high-teen revenue growth, while our underlying sales were up approximately 4% for the year. Our strongest sales results came from our commercial business and, in particular, solid results in NAPA AutoCare and Major Accounts, our two primary commercial initiatives. Sales at Motion Industries, our Industrial Group, were down slightly for the year, our Electrical/Electronic Group was down 2% and our Office Group sales were down 3% in 2013. Weak demand patterns challenged these three industries throughout the year." Fourth Quarter 2013 Sales increased 13% to $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to sales of $3.1 billion for the same period in 2012. Net income in the fourth quarter was $150 million, or $0.97 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $160 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, in 2012. The 2012 results include the $23.5 million one-time pension gain, or $0.10 per diluted share, previously disclosed. Excluding the gain, diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2013 were up 4% from 2012. In reviewing the quarter, Mr. Gallagher commented, "Revenue growth in the fourth quarter proved to be the strongest of the year, with acquisitions contributing 10% to our sales growth and our underlying sales were up 4%, which was offset by a 1% currency headwind. Automotive sales were up 25% in the quarter, including 7% underlying growth, offset by a 1% negative translation effect. Industrial Group sales were up 3% and sales for the Electrical/Electronic Group increased by 6%, which includes a 10% contribution from acquisitions. Sales for the Office business were down 4%." Mr. Gallagher concluded, "We faced a number of challenges in each of our four business segments in 2013 and, as previously stated, our Automotive business fared the best with their 18.5% sales increase. In all four businesses, key decisions were made and actions taken that position each segment for solid performances in the year ahead, and we look forward to reporting on our progress. We remain committed to our core objectives of growing sales and earnings, showing continued operating margin improvement, generating solid cash flows and maintaining a strong balance sheet. Further progress in each of these areas will keep the Company moving ahead and help to ensure another successful year in 2014."

The tenor of the briefing room made clear just how fundamentally the GOP has altered the terms of political debate.
But with President Obama vowing to take the lead, the tenor of the debate might be changing.
Irish tenor Ronan Tynan sang at both services, just as he had so many times in New York after 9/11.
It is Cheney, not his former boss, who seems more attuned with the current tenor of the GOP.
Given the tenor of the unfolding campaign season, the unsolicited confessional may just be the best new idea in politics.
But there was an apprehension to disturb the tenor of his thoughts, and fall heavily upon his official capacity.
The harmonies which you mean are the mixed or tenor Lydian, and the full-toned or bass Lydian, and such like.
The treble, sixth, seventh, and tenor were "maiden"; the others needed but slight alteration.
Tall and very dark, he looked unlike the ideal Wagner tenor.
I was not; but both Hugh Atherton and myself were led to anticipate what the tenor of it would be.
c.1300, "general meaning, purpose, drift," from Old French tenour "substance, sense" (13c.), from Latin tenorem (nominative tenor) "contents, course," originally "a holding on," from tenere "to hold" (see tenet). The musical sense of "high male voice" is attested from late 14c., because the sustained melody (canto fermo) was carried by the tenor's part.

The FACTS are that they try to stifle competition and run the entire sport by themselves. So what? What are they supposed to do? Encourage competing orgs to challenge them? Dilute their product across two or three or four banners?
The UFC has brought MUCH greater profile and legitimacy to MMA than it has ever had before. Because of the success they have had, they open the door for smaller local promotions to spring up across the world. If one of those promotions is better run and becomes a rival, good. Competition is good. If not, then all the top fighters will be in one org fighting for ONE recognized "king of the division" belt. As opposed to Condit, Diaz and GSP all calling themselves world champions of different orgs and never fighting each other.

text: If you go to Taipei, there is a whole area filled with camera shops near Taipei Main Station. The streets are called Hankou and Bo-Ai. Many if not of the shops have converted to digital, but there are a few shops that still sell film. I think when I was there, I bought some from the shop at No. 65 (or 68?) Hankou road. They can speak English, if Chinese is a problem. There's a lab near NTU called 5 Color Bird but I didn't buy anything there. Also, Lomography is quite big there so if you go to one of the big book stores like Eslite they'll probably have a Lomo display with cameras and film. I think there's also a Lomo store, but I never made it there.

text: Adapter puts Nikon and Canon lenses in iPhone Technology 11 July 11 by Charlie Sorrel Photojojo Pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying an iPhone to use as my next camera is the fact that I can't shoot photos with a shallow depth-of-field, which throws the background into a distraction-free blur while keeping your subject pin sharp. The ridiculously impractical iPhone SLR Mount probably won't change my mind, but if I had an iPhone already, I would be fingering my credit card right now.The "mount" is actually more of a case. You slide in your phone, screw on the long cylindrical adapter and then snap on your SLR lens. The kit comes in Nikon and Canon flavours, so you can mount pretty much any Nikon lens ever made, or use any Canon lens manufactured since the 1980s (when Canon switched mounts).You can't remove your iPhone's own lens, of course, so this adapter comes with its own focussing screen, just like the one in your actual SLR. The iPhone then just takes a snap of this screen, which results in a sharp, bright (but upside-down) images.Like I said, I'd be fingering my credit card in anticipation. Once I saw the price, though, I might slide it back into my dusty, moth-infested wallet. The iPhone SLR Mount costs $250 (£156), or $190 (£118) if you choose the iPhone 3-compatible version. For that money, you could buy an actual lens for your real camera. Edited by Alice Vincent Comments Where can i buy this?

South Dakota has the fourth best wind energy potential in the country. The map below outlines the areas of the United States with the greatest wind energy potential.
Development of wind energy presents an economic opportunity for South Dakota. Farmers and ranchers can gain a much needed source of income without danger to their land and water offered by fossil fuel pipeline spills. The wind energy industry provides both manufacturing jobs and maintenance jobs within our state. The tax base is expanded with the addition of wind farms for rural counties who desperately need expanded tax revenues.
Wind Farm Environmental Benefits
If you ever visited a wind farm site you will notice:
- There is no odor.
- The air is clean and fresh.
- The wind turbines are quiet.
- They don't leak any oil or gas.
- Very little land is lost for access.
- The lease paid to the farmer for siting the turbine on their land is far greater than the money made on raising a crop.
- Bird kills are far less from wind turbines than birds killed in oil refinery settling ponds, and large electrical transmission lines. New wind farm sites and the turbines are designed to reduce potential bird kills.
In South Dakota it is important that our state leaders focus on maximizing the economic benefits of wind on behalf of the people of this State. The South Dakota Sierra Club supports the development of wind energy as a sustainable, economic, and environmentally friendly resource for all of South Dakota.
Lincoln County Wind Farm
A large privately funded wind far is being developed in Lincoln County. Please click here to read more about the benefits of this renewable energy resource.

I had and erratic fuel gauge needle and truck was sluggish. Suddenly the needle went past full and stucked there. Later I got a check engine and truck stalled. After further tests the P0107 MAP low voltage code came out but the problem was not the manifold absolute pressure sensor. There is a 5 wires connector sticked to the driver fender that I unplugged and the engine started fine and ran fine. After further test the EGR and MAP voltage went back to 5 volts instead of 2.08v before I unplugged that connector also the fuel gauge went back to empty position. No more engine code, engine starts fine and run better but as soon as I plug it back the engine stall or perform sluggish and needle go back past the full position. The five wires are black, green, pink, white and grey. The grey give the 5 volts and the pink the 12 volts. Strange thing is that both side of the connector the grey wire give the 5 volts when grunded to the battery. I'm joining an image so you can help me identify this connector and what's for exactly. Thank you !

Also you can see a free round connector in the picture. It's a big red wire and I don't know what it is used for because it was there when I bought the truck. Maybe the starter wire they changed and left the older there. Not sure.
Shorted fuel gauge, wiring, or sending unit.

I would need the location of connectors so I can test it. I have the full wiring diagrams but don't show the exact location of the connectors.
Purple wire on instrument cluster connector, pin 29 to fuel level buffer module, pin L, under the cluster. The schematic I have doesn't show any intermediate connectors. Instrument cluster, fuel level buffer module, engine control, and pump. Pump is in the top of the tank.
Ok thank you I will give it a try but before I will get the diagram location because pin L, pin 29 and purple. It don't give me the exact location. For now with the connector underhood unplugged the truck run fine. Also do you know what is the exact usage of this connector?
I'm not sure about the connector. But, there is a set of wires that runs to the engine control module for the pump from the fuel level buffer module. I'm guessing this might be the wires/connector you disconnected.
Pin 29 is on the instrument cluster. The dash gauges. Where the speedometer and fuel gauge are.
Pin L is on the fuel level buffer module. It's behind the dash in the center.
Pin 29 is on the instrument cluster. The dash gauges. Where the speedometer and fuel gauge are.
Pin L is on the fuel level buffer module. It's behind the dash in the center.
What is the usage of this fuel level buffer module? Nothing seems to change when its unplugged except the needle not showing the fuel level?
I'm not sure, because there's nothing definitive in my reference, but I would say voltage stabilization. I think that's why when you unplugged the wires from it to the engine control, things went back to normal.
I printed the 4 pages for wirings of engine but from a Jimmy 1997 instead of a Blazer so the wires are not the same color. I have to find what is where prior to further testing.

Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
9th inning dramatics at Wrigley and the Cubs have won 2 of 3. You probably don't want to go any farther back than that though.
@Cubs 3 - Cardinals 2; That certainly was an unexpected win, but let's first take a look at the expected. Garza gives up just 2 ER over 7 innings against a slightly depleted Cardinals lineup (no Berkman or John Jay). Garcia of course answers against a depleted Cubs lineup (no injuries, just by their very nature). Now to the surprises, Garza made a decent play on defense, laid down a sacrifice bunt and the team did not commit any errors. There were some adventures on the basepath, Castro getting picked off by Garcia and then 8th inning weirdness with Campana that worked out for the Cubs. Campana singled with 1 out and representing the tying run in the 8th. I missed the DeJesus at-bat unfortunately, so I don't know if he attempted to run off the lefty Garcia. But Matheny brought in the righty Boggs to face Barney and the Cardinals knew Campana would be running. He did on a 1-2 count and they called the successful pitchout and Molina delivered a strike, but Greene couldn't handle the throw and Campana ended up with the bag and then for good measure took third as well. It was all for naught in that inning, but fun to watch. To the 9th, Motte made quick of Soriano's slowing bat with 98mph heat. LaHair though battled to the tune of 12 pitches, fouling off all kinds of crazy pitches before working a walk. Soto followed with a walk of his own and Sveum went with Clevenger as the pinch-hitter for Dolis. He managed to advance the runners and now with 2 outs and runners on 2nd/3rd, Sveum lets Mather hit with Stewart on the bench against the righty Motte. Not the call I would have made, but Mather came through with the winning hit. I have no idea if Motte used up all his mojo up on LaHair's at-bat, but things certainly turned with that epic at-bat. Winning is fun.
Memphis 6 - @Iowa 2; Iowa played earlier in the day and you can see the recap in the game thread below, so no reason to repeat myself.
@Tennessee 5 - Chattanooga 4 (12 innings); This is an interesting one. Jonathan Mota started in left field, taking over for Ty Wright whom was promoted to Triple A when Campana was called up to the majors. Mota homered and then got credit for the win with a scoreless 12th inning. Mota for his minor league career entering tonight has played the following positions: 300 @SS, 130 @3B, 114 @2B, 15 @RF, 12 @ CF and 4.2 innings as a pitcher since 2008, so it wasn't completely new to him. Elliot Soto also had a multi-hit game with a double and a triple and Watkins had 2 RBI's. Dallas Beeler started and went 5.2 IP/4 ER/8 H/2 BB/ 3 K/1 HR. Justin Bour had the game-winning hit, singling in Nate Samson.
Lakeland 7 - @Daytona 2; A tough draw for Daytona as they got highly touted Jacob Turner for some reason (I presume some sort of rehab assignment as it was his first appearance of the year). Turner went 4 innings, giving up 0 hits, 2 BB's and 0 K's. Zach Cates got the start for Daytona and gave up 3 ER in 4 IP on 6 H/1 K/ 0 BB. Larry Suarez got roughed up for 3 ER in 2 innings of work to put the game out of reach. Richard Jones and John Andreoli were the only hitters to reach base multiple times.
Lansing 7 - @Peoria 3; Jose Rosario roughed up again for 4 ER in 5 innings against 9 H/2 BB/2 K. Offensively, DeVoss and Darvill were the only hitters to reach base more than once and Easterling had the only extra-base hit - a triple.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
AKA: The Cubs way
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I love that you guys are giving shit to the first GM in my lifetime to come in with a frickin organized gameplan. (I started watching in '69). It seems like a lot of people here preferred the "spread shit on $1,000,000 bills, throw against the wall, and see what sticks" strategy . . . It's easy to make fun of people and plans in their infancy, babies are awkward but can grow up to own your smarmy asses. Let's let these guys get through the awkward stage, huh? "but, bro it's already been 17 games, bro, huh huh, I've seen enough bro." At least Theo has the guts to stand up to the moronic Cubs' culture and try a "Cubs Way" as stupid as it may sound to you. Anyone remember the flurry of sarcasm when apple announced something called the iPad? It was doomed because it was named after a feminine hygiene product line. I think apple did okay. Go Cubs!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Do you really think that Dallas Green, or Jim Hendry, or even Larry Himes really had no gameplan? That they just showed up and said" Well..I wonder what's going to happen today?"
I like Theo's plan. It's 2012, not 1980...using sabremetrics, using a uniform model throughout the organization, jettisoning dead wood where he can.
Eh...fans will always criticize...it's in out nature.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Dallas definitely had the best from the ground up - plan. Hendry had a nice gutsy win now, trade deadline movin and shakin thang, which I actually liked until last few years - the no trade clauses and other probs caught up a little to say he least. But Theo is the first to ever gut the place and basically say "we cannot win as things stand. let's rip the vinyl off this old furniture." to criticize the current lineup etc, is basically like shooting ducks in a barrel (mixed metaphors baby)!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Agreed. Time to rip it up and start over.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I'm tired of watching minor league baseball at Wrigley, personally... and more to the point, I think this is exactly the problem with the current team. We're seeing minor league players trotting out there every day pretending they are big leaguers. And Castro's fucking .900 batting average and 7 million OPS is just wonderful, but what about him regularly giving the opposition 4 fucking outs to score in an inning? Somehow defense is still a back-burner issue to most people.
I'm looking forward to this changing under Theo- He asked me to be patient, so I will be patient. I will also continue to bitch about shitty baseball.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Is the anger about Castro a desire to see management make some kind of change or is it frustration with the rest of us not talking enough about his defense?
I for one love Castro and his bat (though I'm hoping to see him develop 20+ HR power so that he can be something more than an exceptional ability to make contact, which is nice, but not as valuable as it is impressive), but I am definitely frustrated with his defense. I just don't think there is anything to do except for management to keep coaching him and hope that his throws get more consistent. That and I'd like to see him improve receiving the ball from the catcher.
My asshole tenses up a little bit every time he has to make a throw--and I don't think there is anyone here who wouldn't like to see him improve. Garza's throws actually bother me a lot more, though, because that seems like something that ought to be easier to fix than Castro's much more difficult throws from multiple times the distance.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
If you could write job requirements for a shortstop, what would it look like?
Bare minimum requirements:
Field the ball nearly every damn time the ball is hit to you
Make a good throw nearly every damn time you throw the ball
Hit a nice, patient .270
Take some walks
Obviously, the ideal candidate would exceed some of these requirements, but this is the bare minimum. Castro doesn't do two of these very basic requirements.
So to reiterate a question I've been asking for at least two fucking years: Have the Cubs found a real shortstop yet?
So here I go bitching about the only guy that will make the all star team. I'm an idiot... whatevah.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I wouldn't mind the Cubs giving him some time at 2nd base. It's traditionally been the landing spot of Shortstops who never get the hang of fielding that position.
Not like he is being blocked by anyone of note over there.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
He just turned 22. I'm hoping that he'll gradually get better at those two things you're talking about.
Who's on your list of shorstops you'd rather have instead?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Uh...seriously? Jack Wilson of the career 76 OPS+
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
There's nothing wrong with Jack Wilson, though, if I were putting a team together, he wouldn't be my first choice. I reject that you have to choose between defense and offense.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Well if the Cubs got Jack Wilson from 4 years ago.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really am curious who you would like to have a short stop instead of Castro. Someone that is playing now, I mean. I also wonder if you're suggesting moving Castro to 2B.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I don't really know.
Is there any precedent for a team bringing in a special coach to develop a skill for an up-and-comer? Like give Castro his own defensive coach to teach him how to do it right. Maybe he'll learn it.
But if he is moved, I would also throw 3B into the mix, not just 2B. The throw from 3B is easier than the throw from SS... is been my experience from playing ball many moons ago. And anyways- Castro hits as well as our prior 3b.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think that SS is probably the most important defensive position in Baseball. Followed by CF and Catcher IMHO.
I'd be fine with a so-so offensive performer and a Gold Glove defender there.
I'd probably start giving Castro some reps at 2nd. His scatter arm won't be a liability over there like it is at SS.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think your list of important defensive positions is fine except that it's missing third base. But then you're a Cub fan. So am I, but I remember Santo. And I live in a town where they have Ryan Zimmerman playing third.
Castro had 29 errors as a 21-year-old last season. Shawon Dunston, one of those eighties players you are probably nostalgic about, committed 32 errors at age 23.
It looks like Dunston missed a lot of games in many of those early years, but when he played 140 or more, his errors were in the twenties. Out of 1657 games over 18 seasons, Dunston played 25 games at second, 11 at third. He did play some OF but not till he was 34.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think a glove is nice at 3rd base. However I think a bat needs to be equally important there.
The thing that always got he on these blogs were people bitching that Adam Dunn would have a bad glove at first base. Yet mentioning anything negative about Castro's 50 errors at Short stop would make you a pariah.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
thanks Rob....man...asleep at the switch..
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Anyone remember the flurry of sarcasm when apple announced something called the iPad? It was doomed because it was named after a feminine hygiene product line. I think apple did okay. Go Cubs!
AAPL down 11.30 to $560.40
down $83 from 52 week high of $644.00
oh wait, I bought those shares in 1994 at what turns out to be a split adjusted price of $5.06.
So being a long term shareholder of Apple before the second coming of Steve Jobs has been a hugely good thing. It can be often very tough if you look at the stock price every minute.
There have been better times looking at the Cubs stock price, just not lately. Still, I keep paying attention (obsessively).
Guess I'm an idiot...well not completely, cause I'm an AAPL shareholder too.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Actually, being a Cub fan is more comparable to being a Johns Manville shareholder. That was a former Dow stock (from January 29, 1930 to August 27, 1982) but when they found out in the 1980's that Asbestos causes cancer (Mesothelioma, cancer of the lung lining) it went bankrupt.
Eventually they emerged out of bankruptcy in 1988 (comps with Dallas Green?) and in 2001 were bought by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet)...hopefully that comps with Theo coming on board with the Cubs.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
"moronic Cubs' culture" is a little strong but I do think there is a flawed Cub culture and since it is never mentioned, I responded to your characterization.
Three examples:
1) a contempt for minor leaguers. That's not true at all any more among Cub fans on TCR, which I consider a very positive development.
2) a disregard for what are key defensive positions, particularly third and catcher, where the glove is at least as important as the bat.
3) a distrust of speed on the bases and the aggressive use thereof. Sometimes a runner is thrown out, just like sometimes a hitter swings and misses.
(By the way, did you see how quickly Soto made it to home last night? That's not an accident, it's Sveum harping all the time about leads and jumps.)
What I would emphasize about this year's team is that it is not bad in the usual ways and should, therefore, improve.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
The Cubs have zero speed except little Tony.
If they ever make apple orange hybrids, I'm buying
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Tony is that hybrid; he strikes out and gets caught stealing sometimes.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really REALLY would love an AppleOrange right now!
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
genetic incompatibility aside...because of chilling hours (aka, cold nights) that apples need to produce fruit you may never see such a plant, even as a grafted hybrid.
the "Anna" variety of apple would be one of the few apples out there with low chilling requirements.

Never swing at a 2 and 0 pitch, and you'll never be out.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Is Theo really the first GM in our lifetime that decided he wanted to have a Minor League system? Did you forget the Dallas Green era, or the Uber-Hyped 1998-2003 wave of prospects?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I think Dallas and Jim were actually fine for their team/era. Everything I've read and remember says Dallas got cut a little short in his plan as well. I just actually find this rebuilding/ethos building period exciting and just want to point out how easy it is to rip on people like Theo who are trying to be transparent about trying something new. Maybe the fact that The Cubs Way sounds trite is not his fault. He believes and we don't yet. Glad to have him.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
ESPN/Doug Padilla gets this Sveum quote:
"If he clears waivers and everything, we want to keep [Lopez] in the organization and put him in the rotation down in Triple-A," manager Dale Sveum said. "Hopefully that happens and he elects to go down there as well."
Rod Lopez, kind of like gum on the bottom of that proverbial shoe?
I'm not a fan of small sample sizes, but in this case I'll make an exception:
In four outings this season, all in relief, Lopez was 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA over 6 1/3 innings with five walks and two strikeouts. Opponents batted .320 against him, the highest mark of any Cubs pitcher.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Again, I gotta say, that was an amazing at bat by LaHair, and if THAT doesn't tell Sveum the dude belongs in the batters box every day, I'm gonna pull out what remains of my hair. That's the kind of AB that commands respect from other teams and players.

Peoria announcer just mentioned that Concepcion is starting for Peoria tomorrow, I missed who was going up to AA, I think they said it's a reliever.

Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I wonder how long Hoilman's power (and to a lesser degree his patience) will keep him around if he doesn't drastically improve other aspects of his game.
Nobody wants to give up on a minor leaguer who can hit jacks with consistency. But he's obviously behind Rizzo, Vogelbach, Shoulders, and probably even Bour just in terms of Cubs first base prospects.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Well with Cuneo there...and if they are trying to get them both at-bats?
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
Or perhaps Cuneo is a better fielder? Eh...we'll see I suppose.. I'm too giddy about LaHair's dinger off a lefty.
Re: Cubs Recap for April 23, 2012
I really didn't enjoy Levine's opinionated chat today. I think I'll skip that little bit of Tuesday reading from now on. Many of us could have answered the same questions with the same degree of expertise. I liked him better when he had people in the front office returning his calls.
I do appreciate that the new FO keeps its own counsel and does not scratch any media backs.

who knows where it'll end up. they have a decent amount of excess/blocked infielders as well as c.coghlan if they want to make him expendable...so there's value to get something done while keeping soler, even.
it's a bit more muddy now that cueto is the only "hell yeah" FA pitcher left out there.
Yes great bat, but very shaky in the field during the playoffs. That won't go unnoticed by this Cubs front office.
I would hope not.
I fear the Shark will return.
So how did the Orioles GM stay cool and collected during that conversation. I imagine he was biting his knuckles quite a bit until the phones hung up.
I realize they need to get pitching, but I'd hate to see Soler go. He was channeling Manny in the playoffs -- laying off the low & away stuff and crushing the ball. If he can keep that plate discipline, he could be an absolute beast. Also, his perfect throw may have saved the Cardinals series. Plus, he wears #68.
Dunno - maybe Shark/Lackey?
YES! A 2-way tie for first! I am willing to split the pot right now.
That is pretty fucking dumb.
"The Seattle Mariners have agreed to trade slugger Mark Trumbo to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for catcher Steve Clevenger, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jim Bowden."
yeah, that steve clevenger.
St Louis offered $30MM less than Toronto...so around $185MM or $26MM per year. When those type of numbers and details are released, it is rarely just pulled out of thin air. Sounds pretty legit that they put up a bit of a fight.
Where did you get 30ish number?
Close second to Ronny
Dumber than Ronny Cedeno?
runner-up seems to be as strong as in the bidding as it gets aside from winning the bid.
STL has money to spend, but how much they were willing to spend was up in the air...and now they threw around a 30m-ish offer to a top FA pitcher.
You believe they were in the bidding, I have an ice rink on Clark to sell you
Oh God, no Adam Eaton he's dummber than a bag of wet hair. keep him awsy

Sky Ferreira reportedly arrested on drug charges
Pop star Sky Ferreira and her rocker boyfriend, Zachary Cole Smith, have been arrested on drugs charges, according to a report.
RELATED: Celebs who have used heroin
The "Everything Is Embarrassing" singer and her DIIV frontman partner were allegedly held in New York on the morning of Sept. 14 for possession of controlled substances.
Reports suggest the couple were arrested after cops pulled over their vehicle in Saugerties, near Poughkeepsie, and discovered heroin and Ecstasy.
Smith was also charged with possession of stolen property and aggravated unlicensed driving amid suspicions the vehicle was fitted with stolen license plates, according to Pitchfork.com. The publication that reported on the couple's arrest, The Daily Freeman, writes that Smith was found to be in possession of "42 decks (bags) of heroin," while Ferreira was "found in possession of Ecstasy and resisted arrest."

Good Morning,
1. Lamps should be wired in parallel to prevent voltage drop. The intensity of each lamp will be maintained.
2. Wire size is depended on load (current drawn in a circuit), #14 is rated 15 amps, #12 is rated 20 amps.
3. Wiring should not be exposed but should be in proper metal electrical boxes (4"squares,1900 boxes). The bond wire would then be terminated in the box itself (3 prong cord cap). Overcurrent Protection is provided already by the branch circuit wiring the receptacle you will be using is stalled in.
Hopes this helps

The hulking financial and organizational apparatus of a major party is less invincible than it used to be.
But in organizational terms, thematic terms, this convention was very leaky.
When the council convened, the church was an organizational mess.
In addition, its organizational structure is more decentralized than the Boy Scouts, which has a top-down hierarchy.
Ammann, business editor of the Swiss weekly Die Weltwoche, approached Rich as a business and organizational genius.
An organizational chart, with designations that were meaningless to Tom, appeared behind it.
It develops an internal "organizational cult" (we know best and always).
Sometimes an organizational setup grows, sets its ways, and becomes so traditional that once-necessary jobs become unnecessary.
By 1970 the country's three principal religious faiths had been eliminated as organizational bodies.
Alia was responsible for ideological affairs, Kapo for organizational matters, and Spahiu for the state administration.
mid-15c., "act of organizing," from Middle French organisation and directly from Medieval Latin organizationem (nominative organizatio), noun of action from past participle stem of organizare, from Latin organum "instrument, organ" (see organ). Meaning "system, establishment" is from 1873. Organization man is from title of 1956 book by American sociologist William H. Whyte (1917-1999). Related: Organizational.
organization or·gan·i·za·tion (ôr'gə-nĭ-zā'shən)
The act or process of organizing.
The state or manner of being organized.
Something that has been organized or made into an ordered whole.
Something made up of elements with varied functions that contribute to the whole and to collective functions.
A structure through which individuals cooperate systematically to conduct business.
The conversion of coagulated blood, exudate, or dead tissue into fibrous tissue.

Ashcroft High School is a comprehensive, coeducational high school located in south western Sydney. The school has a population of 600 students, 50% of whom are of Non -English Speaking Backgrounds. Of these the major groups are Pacific Islander, Arabic and Vietnamese. Aboriginal students make up 7% of the school population. There is 60 teaching staff, with 20% in their first or second year of teaching in 2006.
The school is included in the Priority Schools Program (PSP). Literacy has been a focus of school programs for a number of years, with ELLA data showing consistent improvement in student learning outcomes.
There are strong links with feeder primary schools through the LINKS program. Amongst other initiatives, a stage 3/4 program is written every year with a particular KLA focus.
The school has a long history of excellence in sport and the performing arts and has received a Director General's Award in performing arts. The school has also received a Director General's Award for Aboriginal Education programs.
There is an established and active SRC and student views on curriculum and welfare programs are regularly sought.
P&C and Indigenous Education Direct Assistance (IEDA) committees meet regularly and are coordinated by a Community Liaison Officer (CLO) and an Aboriginal Education Assistant (AEA).
In 2004 the Quality Teaching journey began. Four KLAs were targeted to undertake comprehensive professional development in the Quality Teaching model with a focus on Intellectual Quality. The remaining KLAs were incorporated into the process in Semester 2. Key personnel from the Learning Support Team were also inserviced on the Australian National Schools Network protocols, the tuning protocol and the consultancy protocol, in order to enhance their skills as trainers. A consultant was employed to train staff in the knowledge and understanding of the Quality Teaching model.
In 2005, it was expected that assessment task coding and backward mapping tools, developed in 2004, would be put into practice in all faculties, with the aim of raising Intellectual Quality and student learning outcomes. An Action Learning Plan was developed by the Teaching and Learning Team to facilitate and coordinate the aim of embedding Quality Teaching principles into the culture of the school. The plan's objective was to link Quality Teaching principles with existing school practices. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis was undertaken and an action plan developed.
A key feature of the school plan was the identified professional learning for all staff around the QT model. The staff turnover in 2005 was significant with 11 new additions to the school teaching community. Eight teachers were new scheme teachers. The changes needed to be addressed before the whole school could fully embrace the principles of the Quality Teaching model.
Training continued within faculties in Quality Teaching principles conducted by the Literacy coordinator and members of the literacy support team. This model of professional development has been successful in the past when implementing the State Literacy Strategy. Consultancy support for Creative Arts, Mathematics, HSIE and English was coordinated by Christine Glover.
The early career teachers' induction program incorporated an introduction to the QT model and how to apply the model to the backward mapping of assessment tasks. Each new scheme teacher produced a backwardly mapped unit of work, linked with the evidence gathering for demonstration of NSW Institute of Teachers Professional Teaching Standards at Professional Competence.
Lesson observations of all teachers were linked with the overt evaluation of Quality Teaching principles to be demonstrated by observed teaching staff.
Experienced teachers who had undergone extensive training in the QT model in 2004 were paired for peer lesson observations and evaluation.
Four backwardly mapped units of work were developed in 2004 were trialled and evaluated by staff and students. The school applied for and received substantial regional consultancy support in English, Creative Arts, HSIE and Maths.
A key factor of the school's plan for Quality Teaching was the appointment of a Head Teacher Teaching and Learning who worked closely with all faculties on action learning plans. Dr Wendy Amosa from The University of Newcastle acted as a critical friend and academic partner to lead and advise the school as they engaged with the Quality Teaching model. Staff were trained Training in Authentic Pedagogy evaluation tools. Staff then evaluated student work samples from assessment tasks. The strategy of "A day in the life of year 7 classes" was undertaken where Year 7 classes were observed all day, with their classroom experiences coded using A classroom practice guide and fed back to faculty teams.
Stage 4 students evaluated each unit of work with an understanding of elements of the Quality Teaching model.
There was a focus on early career teacher professional learning. Experienced teachers were paired with early career teachers for lesson observations based on Quality Teaching.
A SWOT analysis has been done and a strategic plan developed for this year. Features include:
All new scheme teachers have produced at least one backwardly mapped unit with a Quality Teaching focus. They have been enthusiastic and welcomed support from in-house experts on from the Learning Support Team. There has been a discernable measured shift in culture learning within a number of faculties. Many staff recognise the benefits of Quality Teaching for student outcomes and are continuing the process of incorporating Intellectual quality into their programs. Teaching staff are actively seeking the support of the Learning Support Team Members.
61% of staff had their lessons observed in 2005 and 45% of these demonstrated a clear understanding of Intellectual Quality elements and incorporated them into their classroom practice.
Student evaluations of units developed in 2004 showed that students understood their work, had a deep understanding of the main concepts taught in the unit, had the opportunity for substantive communication. There was increased enjoyment of units by students, as a variety of learning styles were catered for. Students recognised there was intellectual rigour within the unit, metalanguage was taught and understood, and teacher expectations were high and explicitly articulated in the classroom and in assessment tasks. A link between class work and assessment tasks existed. Lessons showed significance by building on students' existing knowledge. In 2006 many staff are incorporating student evaluation into new units.
There has been some staff resistance to the Quality Teaching model. Time constraints make focused commitment to QT difficult for some staff as the initial use of backward mapping is time consuming.
Quality Learning Environment and Significance have not been formally addressed. This has been necessary because of the entry of a large number of new teachers who are focusing on developing classroom management skills.
There is a need to re-focus on staff understanding of problematic knowledge and extend student understanding of metalanguage. Higher order thinking is strongly evident in assessment tasks but not necessarily in classroom practice.
More expertise in evaluation methodology is required.
Lesson observations will continue and coding will be added to the observation proforma which will allow effective teacher reflection and dialogue to continue. The early career teachers' program will include observation of experienced teachers whose classroom and assessment practice reflect the QT model.
Faculties will work more systematically with the Head Teacher Teaching and Learning. The QT program will extend to include the dimensions of Significance and Quality Learning Environment. Authentic pedagogy evaluation tools will be developed to support the review and refinement of programs and tasks. The academic partner will guide and support staff to develop authentic pedagogy evaluation methods.

Publisher's Description
What once drove men to construct enormous abbeys and cathedrals, with gargoyles, rounded arches, rose windows, dark recesses, and flying buttresses?
In the modern imagination, these structures are believed to tell a series of stories about the meaning of life, but this anachronism would have astounded their medieval creators. As he explores two of the finest churches of this period the Abbey of Mont St- Michel on the Normandy coast, and soaring Chartres Cathedral in the fields of the Loire Valley author Jon Sweeney comes to the conclusion that, without faith, they make no sense at all. But within a life of faith, the universe that includes them is marvelous, beautiful, mysterious, and tapped into something that secularism cannot fathom.
This luminous series of reflections hinges on seven words of Gothic spirituality space, sanctuary, stone, light, darkness, gargoyles, and flight and shows us that beauty is not just for admiring, but a key to believing, and reveals how the vision of our medieval forebears can refresh and inspire our faith today.

Columbia Omni-Freeze Ice promises a cool run
Columbia, the outdoor clothing company, is about to launch a new range of T-shirts that will actively cool runners when they sweat.
The new technology, called Omni-Freeze Ice, works by detecting the moment moisture hits the fabric's surface. That process then sets off a chemical reaction, which releases a cooling agent that reduces the temperature of the shirt, cooling the runner at the same time.
"Omni- Freeze Ice capitalises on the sweat that your body produces to deliver aggressive heat management," explains Columbia. "The moment moisture hits the fabric's surface, the temperature of the fabric is lowered, creating an immediate cooling sensation."
The new material will be available in three garments; a Men's Insight Ice Short Sleeve Crew, a Men's Solar Polar 1/2 Zip, and a Women's Insight Ice Short Sleve V-neck.
Not one to just take Columbia's word for it, Pocket-lint got to try the new material at its UK launch, ahead of a further test we plan to do out on a series of runs.
As you can see from the picture, we strapped a tubi-grip like sample of the material onto one arm before the PR girl sprayed us with water. The effects were instant, with the arm feeling noticeably colder straight away. It was almost as if we had been sprayed with Deep Freeze.
Without going on a run, it is hard to determine at this stage whether or not that would be a pleasant thing, but it is clear from our quick test that you are going to feel cooler wearing this than a standard T-shirt - even it if has a wicking system.
That coolness should make the run more comfortable, which in turn should mean you are able to push yourself harder and hopefully faster.
The new range is out in the shops shortly.
