[♪ Music ♪] [Adobe's Vision for Professional Video] Hi, I'm Jim Guerard, I'm the Vice President General Manager of dynamic media for Adobe, and I want to spend a few minutes with you today talking about our professional video business. [Media Consumption and Creation] We are at a very important time in the media industry today. We're at a time where there is unprecedented change. We've got this explosion happening of content in media coming across multiple screens being distributed in many, many, different ways, and the change we're going through is different from what we've seen in the industry before. We've been through changes such as analog to digital and tape to disc and SD to HD. When you think about those changes, each one of them, the media industry and the technology industry have largely been able to manage that change at a rate of pace that was comfortable for them. The difference with what's happening today is this is all being driven by a massive change in consumer behavior and in the way media is being consumed. And that means we're not in control. The consumers are in control, and the technology industry and the media industry are moving quickly in trying to adapt and adjust and keep up with these changes. So, when we talk about this massive change in consumption and what that means to the media and broadcast industry and what that means to filmmakers and post-production houses, the change is rippling back through their business as well. This is a tremendous change, tremendous change in workflows, tremendous change in cost and also, quite frankly, it's a tremendous change in the business model for these companies as people struggle to figure out how to have a viable, profitable business in this online multiscreen universe. [Adobe's Pro Video Momentum is Strong] The Adobe professional video business has been on a great run, and we're expecting that to continue for the next several years. You may have heard other people recently talk about the industry growth being around 7% last year, and how others grew their business 15% year over year. Adobe's professional video business last year grew by more than 22% year over year in terms of revenues and by 30% in terms of actual units. When we talk specifically about our business growth on the Mac platform, we grew our revenues last year by more than 44% on the Mac, and we grew our unit volume by more than 45% on the Mac. That's more than 6 times the industry average. How do you like them apples? One of the real highlights within our professional video business has been the explosive growth of Adobe Premiere Pro. We now have reached over 2 million installed seats of Premiere Pro around the world. That's not counting legacy seats of Premiere. That's not counting upgrades. That's brand new seats of Premiere Pro. We've grown that by more than a million and a half units over the last 5 years, and we now have a worldwide installed base of Premiere Pro in the professional market of more than 2 million seats. [Adobe's Planning-to-Playback Pro Video Workflow] I started running the Adobe professional video business about 5 years ago, and when we first put the business together, we developed a strategy and a plan that we're still executing against today. That strategy can best be encapsulated by the simple phrase plan to playback. What we are on a mission to do is to create a comprehensive, open, extensible, cross-platform set of professional tools that are deeply integrated with each other and that also integrate with many other providers out there in the industry such that professionals can create content once at the highest levels of quality, seamlessly take that content to both traditional mediums and forms of distribution such as film, broadcast, Blu-ray and DVD, and also seamlessly take that content to these new mediums and forms of distribution. So, as you think about that plan to playback vision and you think about what we've done in our releases over the last 3 or 4 years, we started with the core products and our core tenets around After Effects and Photoshop and Premiere Pro, and we've expanded that workflow in both directions. After we acquired Macromedia, we really started to focus in on multiscreen distribution, first and foremost with Flash video, and today with HTML5, and then we further expanded that with the acquisition of Omniture, so that you now can take content not only all the way through distribution, but you have analytics that you can use to optimize that content and optimize your business models in that online multiscreen world. If you go back the other way from post-production and production back into planning and pre-production, we've added in great new capabilities such as Adobe Story, a hosted online scriptwriting tool. Scriptwriting is not only important because it's the first place where you really start to plan out what you're going to do in terms of telling your story, but it's also very, very important to that multi-screen world when you think about metadata because when you have the script and you can bring that metadata seamlessly through the workflow, all the way down to distribution and playback, you have a virtual gold mine of information for monetization and distribution in that online world. [5 Areas of Innovation Leadership] It's very important to understand that we're very focused in on continuing to innovate very aggressively with all of our products, and in particular, our core tenets and our core products such as Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Audition. We're also very focused in on delivering these innovations and these new capabilities on a timely basis to our users to keep them current with everything that's happening in the industry. At NAB 2010 we introduced a great new release of our professional video products with Adobe CS5. In particular, great new innovation within After Effects and Premiere Pro. We introduced rotobrush with After Effects. We re-architected Premiere Pro for 64 bit. We expanded the native file format support, introduced the Mercury Playback Engine, and set a new standard for the industry. NAB 2011, we followed up within one year with a great new release, Adobe CS5.5 with even more groundbreaking new innovations and capabilities. In addition to expanding the capabilities of Premiere and After Effects, we introduced a brand new cross-platform version of Audition that was thinking about the future. We brought Adobe Story and our scriptwriting service to a fully featured product, and we integrated all of these together as we continued to provide great, deep integration across our applications and through the entire workflow, as well as continuing to make great new innovations in extensions around metadata workflows and multi-screen delivery. [Rapid Customer Adoption] The market response to the last two releases of our products has been phenomenal from my point of view. We're squarely focused in on serving the needs of the broadcast community and the professional filmmakers, and there we've seen tremendous adoption of our products. Products such as Photoshop and After Effects have been staples to them for years, but in particular, it's been the adoption of Premiere Pro that has been very, very exciting for us. In the broadcast area, we see world leading broadcast companies such as the BBC and Turner adopting Premiere Pro as a core product of their workflow. There's a whole new generation and breed of filmmakers out there today that we call the "Digital Mavericks" that are using red digital cinema cameras and DSLR cameras to tell their stories in compelling new ways. People such as Gareth Edwards, who won the British Film Award for "Monsters" and is now hard at work on a remake of Godzilla. Tyler Nelson, who worked very closely with David Fincher on the making of "The Social Network" and actually conformed and finished that movie on After Effects. Award-winning cinematographers such as Shane Hurlbut, who is hard at work on a new film being shot with DSLRs and using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to finish that film. We've also seen great adoption by the world's leading film schools such as UCLA, USC, Vancouver Film School, Bournemouth University in the UK and a long list of others. [Pillars of Focus] Let me wrap up with the 5 key foundational pieces that we are most focused on as a business. First and foremost is making Premiere Pro the workhorse of the industry. We want to make and we are going to make Premiere Pro to video editing what After Effects is to motion graphics and visual effects and what Photoshop is to digital imaging. Second of all is we are very, very focused in on growing and expanding our business in the professional arena. Broadcast and media companies, film and post-professionals. The professional market is where we see tremendous growth and opportunity. It's what Adobe does as a company. We are focused in on creative professionals, and that is very true of the professional video business, and that's where we're going to spend our time and be very aggressive about growing our business. The third foundational piece of our business that's very important to us is integration in open workflows. We've always made our tools very extensible and worked closely with plug-in developers, with camera manufacturers, with I/O card manufacturers. As we continue to grow and address the needs of the broadcast and media professionals and the professional filmmakers, we know there are other important parts of their workflows that we will integrate with and partner with much more closely. Media asset management companies, storage and playout vendors. These are important parts of your workflow in making your business successful, and we're expanding our efforts in these areas and working very, very closely with these people, and we'll continue to provide great solutions as we move forward. The fourth foundational piece is an area where I think we've provided tremendous leadership to the industry from day one. This is around metadata workflows and multiscreen delivery of content. When you think about the multiscreen world, there are three fundamental problems that media companies face. One, how do I get people to find my content? Two, once they find my content, how do I keep them on my site longer and serve up more relevant content to them? And three, how do I deliver either premium business models or higher CPM ad rates to drive a more profitable and more viable business? And metadata is the key to all three of those, because if you have metadata, you have the information you need for search and discovery for them to find your content, you have the information that you need to serve up more relevant content and to keep their interest, and you also have the information to do things such as contextual advertising and drive higher ad CPMs. So, metadata and multiscreen delivery are key to being successful in a multiscreen distributed environment, and it's an area that we will continue to provide tremendous leadership. The last foundational piece is one that's relatively new for us, and relatively new to the industry, and we're incredibly excited about it. And that's really taking advantage of the cloud and delivering on collaborative cloud-based solutions. This is an area we started in about a year and a half ago when we first introduced Adobe Story. Again, Adobe Story is a scriptwriting tool, but it is a cloud-based solution that you can access via web browser, via desktop application, via an application on your iPhone, quite frankly, and it allows for real-time collaboration on developing, reviewing and writing scripts, and this is just the beginning for us. We see this type of collaboration and cloud-based collaboration being fundamentally important to the industry, and it's an area that we will expand to include all of our tools in the future. So, we're very excited about it. We think we have a unique position and a unique understanding of this given the breadth of the technology that Adobe provides, and we can't wait to bring this to market with you as we move forward. So, those are the five areas that we continue to be focused on specifically within that vision and strategy that we have, and again, thank you very much for joining me today. We couldn't be more excited about our professional video business and where we're going to take it in the future, and we hope you come along for the ride with us. [Adobe]

News Corporation Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (NWSA)
TheStreet) -- News Corporation (Nasdaq: NWSA) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income increased by 202.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $738.00 million to $2,233.00 million.
- NWSA's revenue growth trails the industry average of 15.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.63, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. To add to this, NWSA has a quick ratio of 1.86, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- 40.40% is the gross profit margin for NEWS CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 27.44% significantly outperformed against the industry average.

Topic: So Satan Walks into This Elevator...
Posted: July 30 2011 at 7:10pm
2. Again, it's called a THRILLER. You don't leave feeling all happy go-lucky; that's what rom-coms are for. Thrillers are suppose to fill you with dread, not hope.
3. Frankly, I don't give a flying f*** about football, American version or otherwise. So-called sports "heroes" are overglorifed anyway, and many of them turn out to be criminals. Sport fans only like them because they live the lifestyle they want: a metric-f*** ton of money, a parking lot worth of cars, VIP access to any party, and all the groupies and models they can f*** at a moment's notice.
4. Um, because you can see it coming a mile away. In movies with a twist, it's always has to be the person you will least expect. Hell, if there was a little 4 or 5 year old girl in a little pink dress among that group, chances are she would be the Devil! That's how "what a twist!" works.

1)Who says he/she/it won't go after them?According to the movie,what happened was an event that happens everyday with bad souls.We were just shown a group of random people.Besides,had them been those people,it would've been a satire,and that doesn't really fit with this type of movies.
2)You admitted before that you didn't pay much attention.Btu if you think the movie ended happ-go-lucky,you didn't watch it.
3)I don't care about either football either.But you talk about it like it's bad because you don't like it.But go ahead.Keep "shooting yourself in the foot".

1. As I said a million times, this movie was a retarded concept of trying to mash-up two older than dirt plot gimmicks, much like how people say "Cowboys & Aliens" is a dumb mash-up to get two concepts together in the same movie to sell to two audiences. "Devil" was just doomed to fail.
2. My friend rented it recently. Still doesn't change the fact that thrillers should end on a wholly depressing note, which is what their tone should be.
3. I'm not saying football is bad because I don't like it, I'm just saying the people who play it professionally are not always the kind of people you should be looking up to. Kinda like how M. Night is not a writer/director you should be backing after the last four movies he has been attached to.

So what is the problem with this movie?It breaks a rule.Let's say you make a movie where a man is in love with 2 women.The audience will know the possible outcomes(he chooses one,both or neither).You can't make a movie where the premise gives you the outcomes,like here.Somebody will eventually figure out the ending.Not to mention people will think too much about it the entire movie instead of enjoying it,specially where they tell there's gonna be a twist ending no matter what.
I didn't judge the twist at all.If there's anything we learned from M. Night Shyamalan is that twists can be so overrated to the point they're considered the most important part of the movie,specially twist endings.Actually,it was kind of good for him to give away that there was gonna be a twist.A lot of people hate them because they feel cheated.By the way,I feel I should point out something unfair.Had this movie been bad,people would've said his career bombed,but if it had been good,people would've said the director should take credit.
Speaking of him,by the Rule Of 3,it's fair to judge John Erick Dowdle.His 3 movies have been average for different reasons,but they all scare you.Here,it'll be mostly cheap thrills.It doesn't get truly suspenseful until the last part.But it's worth it.Not to mention how hard it is to make a story interesting in such a confined space.Although I'm not saying he's in the same level as Danny Boyle in 127 HOURS(this one doesn't take place almost entirely in the elevator).
As for the story,is not different from the others that come "from the mind of Shyamalan".Writer Brian Nelson dismisses a lot of the usual melodrama,but he keeps the episodic feel suited for a series and he increases it,making this movie forgettable.And the performances are suited for TV movies.Not because the actors aren't famous,but because they're weak(in particular,Bokeem Woodbine is very over the top).This will be the first of a trilogy where supernatural elements appear in modern day,and because the stories will be unrelated,it will make them all equally episodic.Is Shyamalan aware his movies are compared to episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE?
Although the events of the ending are unsatisfying,the ending as a whole is good.It pushes the right buttons to make you emotional,and when the credits start rolling with that creepy music,you realize your heart had been beating fast for several minutes,and it will continue for some more.Guess which is the only other movie in history that left me with that strange yet nice mix of emotions.THE 6TH SENSE.
Grades:C in the U.S. and 5,0 in Chile.
The tone of the movie was suspenseful,which is how a thriller should be.How a movie ends,or with what it leaves you,it's up to the viewer.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Lawn tractors are ideal if you have a large yard or simply want a more comfortable way to cut your grass than a push mower or even a self-propelled mower can provide. Also called riding lawn mowers, lawn tractors cut way down on mowing time and keep you from breaking a sweat. If you're in search of a more traditional push or self-propelled mower, check out our lawn mower report. To put the finishing touches on your yard work, see which string trimmers are best.
Riding mowers meant for lighter duty can typically handle regular mowing for lawns up to 2 acres. Though their engines aren't as powerful as more expensive lawn tractors, they are more versatile, tackling jobs such as mulching and bagging, and they can haul small carts and other attachments. These riding mowers are often smaller and quieter than larger tractors, but they may be slower and less precise too. Light-duty lawn tractors run from under $1,000 to about $3,000.
If you have more acreage or want to take on jobs such as hauling wood or plowing snow, a lawn tractor for medium or heavy-duty jobs might be a better pick. These riding mowers boast tougher frames, two-cylinder engines and reliable performance. They'll cost more upfront, but can save you money in the long run because of their longer life spans. Prices can range anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 or more.
A riding mower isn't the ideal solution for every lawn or situation, however. Whether you pick a light- or heavy-duty riding tractor, all require a fair amount of storage space in your shed or garage, so beware if space is tight. Lawn tractors also require more routine maintenance, guzzle more gas and spit out more exhaust than push mowers or electric mowers. Homeowners with a lot of hills and landscaping also need to choose even more carefully; some riding lawn mowers can handle these tasks, others aren't quite as adept as a regular lawn mower. Finally, if your property is on the small side -- a half acre or under -- a riding tractor might simply be overkill, making a self-propelled mower or even a basic push mower the less expensive, more practical choice.
Zero-turn mowers make cutting around obstacles a breeze. A zero-turn mower looks different from a typical lawn tractor. The engine is in the back, leaving the front deck wide open for extra legroom and visibility. Most use a twin lever/lap bar system to control direction, and that imposes a bit of a learning curve when operating a zero-turn mower for the first time, though owners say it's one that can be quickly overcome -- at least with better-designed models. More recently, zero-turn mowers with standard steering wheels have been introduced, and experts such as Paul Sikkema of TodaysMower.com say that they "eliminate most of the problems with residential zero-turns."
True to their name, zero-turn mowers are extremely maneuverable if you have a lot of elaborate landscaping, but experts don't recommend them for yards with lots of hills or dips because they lack the traction and stability of a traditional lawn tractor. Zero-turn mowers can bag clippings and pick up leaves, but they typically aren't suited for hauling heavy garden carts or using attachments such as fertilizers, sprayers and snowplows. They're also pricier than typical lawn tractors, ranging from $2,000 to $6,000 -- or even more for commercial-grade machines.
The cheapest riding mowers get the job done without a lot of extras. If you simply want a clean-cut lawn, there are a few riding mowers that can mow, mulch and bag at a cost of around $1,000. These lawn tractors are best for smaller yards of up to an acre. Some are more compact, which means storage might be easier, and they may have narrower cutting decks that can fit through standard gates. Most cheap riding mowers lack the standard features of larger lawn tractors such as an automatic transmission, cruise control or headlights. Many aren't built for hauling. They might also not be quite as well built as pricier models, and warranties may be shorter. But if all you want to do is to cut your lawn in a shorter amount of time, these budget riding mowers might be right for you.
Read up to ride safely. Most riding lawn mowers have similar safety systems, including mechanisms that shut off the engine if you leave the seat while the mower isn't in park. But there is much more to mower safety, particularly when it comes to cutting grass on slopes. Be sure to read your lawn tractor's manual for safe-operating practices. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also offers a guide. Finally, check for recalls -- several mowers have been the subject of recalls for reasons including fire risks and laceration hazards in recent years. The CPSC also has the latest information regarding lawn tractor recalls.
To find the very best lawn tractors, our editors have analyzed the best available expert and customer reviews. We examine factors such as performance, ease of use and safety in making our selections. The results are our picks for the best riding mowers and zero turn mowers available, as well as some budget-friendly lawn tractors and alternate choices that are worth considering.
Elsewhere in this report:
Best Lawn Tractors: For a full-sized property, you need a full-sized tractor. These powerful lawn tractors are those that reviewers say perform the best when new, and last for the long haul
Best Zero-Turn Mowers: These riding mowers cut right to the point for properties that have lots of trees and plantings. The latest models are easier to use, too.
Cheap Riding Lawn Mowers: If your property is modestly sized, there's no need to spend a mint to get a competent riding mower. These are the models most likely to please.
Buying Guide: If you are not sure where to start to find the right lawn tractor for your property and your budget, these helpful hints will point you in the right direction

Hyperia macrocephala (Source: Uwe Kils at the English language Wikipedia [GFDL (www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html)], via Wikimedia Commons)
Free-swimming echinopluteus sea urchin (Echinocardium cordatum) larva feeds on microplankton captured with its ciliated arms. (Source: NOAA Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS); Photo: Jan Parmentier) Plankton are drifting organisms in aquatic environments, including marine and fresh water. They are the base of the food web in these environments.
Plankton can be divided into broad functional (or trophic level) groups:
- Phytoplankton are tiny (usually unicellular) algae that live near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis. Among the more important groups are the diatoms, coccolithophores, cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates.
- Zooplankton are small protists or metazoans (e.g. crustaceans and other animals) that feed on the phytoplankton. Larval stages of larger animals, such as fish, crustaceans, and annelids are included here. Zooplankton are in turn consumed by small fishes.
- Bacterioplankton are bacteria and archaea which play an important role in nutrient cycles in the water column.
Planctonic polychaete worm from genus Tomopteris. (By Uwe Kils, via Wikimedia Commons) This classification divides the plankton into broad producer, consumer and recycler groups. In reality, the trophic level of some plankton is not straightforward. For example, although most dinoflagellates are either photosynthetic producers or heterotrophic consumers, some species can do both, depending upon the circumstances.
Within the plankton, holoplankton are those that spend their entire life cycle in the plankton, while meroplankton are those organisms that are only planktonic for part of their lives (usually the larval stage), and then move into the nekton or a benthic habitat. Examples of meroplankton include larvae of sea urchins, starfish, clams, crustaceans, worms and most fish. Plankton can also be categorized by their size range (e.g., macroplankton, microplankton, nannoplankton, and picoplankton).
Some zooplankton can swim up to several hundreds of meters vertically in a single day (called diel vertical migration), but their horizontal position is primarily determined by currents in the water. Plankton are unable to swim against ocean currents, while larger nekton such as fish and squid can swim against the flow of the water. Diel vertical migrations by zooplankton consist of moving up in the water at night and down in the day time. Being in deeper water during the daylight provides protection from predators that use vision to capture prey. This behavior is seen in animals from all different phyla that are in the plankton, so it must have enormous survival value.

Plankton abundance and distribution are strongly dependent on factors such as nutrient concentrations, the state of the water, and the abundance of other plankton. Their abundance varies horizontally, vertically and seasonally. The primary sources of this variability are the availability of light and nutrients. In temperate climates, springtime brings increased light and higher temperatures, resulting in a spring bloom of phytoplankton, followed by zooplankton. During the summer, dead organisms sink to the bottom where bacteria and fungi break down the tissues in the process of decay. This decomposition restores the nutrients, which concentrate on the bottom, although the phytoplankton that need them are on the top of the water column. Consequently the rate of photosynthesis declines. During the summer, the water column is stratified with warmer water staying on top and cooler water staying on the bottom. Only when water movements can bring the regenerated nutrients up closer to the surface can the phytoplankton bloom again. This happens in the fall, when temperatures fall and the now cooler surface water sinks down and bottom water comes up (upwelling) causing the stratification to break down and another small bloom to occur. Although tropical oceans have abundant light, they have relatively low primary production because of low levels of nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate, due to perpetual stratification of the water column. While plankton are found in the greatest abundance in surface waters, in areas that are too deep for primary production to occur, zooplankton and bacterioplankton can make use of organic material that sinks down from the surface waters above.

Dordt pre-veterinary graduates have earned the respect of faculty in schools across the U.S. and Canada. They include Iowa State University, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, and Kansas State University, where nearly 100 percent of those who complete our program and apply are accepted.
Most graduates of our program have been admitted to the vet school of their choice. The associate dean for Iowa State University's pre-vet program says, "We have been pleased with the quality and background of the pre-veterinary students who attend Dordt College. Their knowledge and experience in agricultural and biological-based sciences is evident."
The demand for properly trained veterinarians is high, particularly for large animal practitioners. While most veterinarians choose to work in private practice, others protect food safety or conduct research in public health departments, the military, regulatory agencies, and zoos.
Alumni Spotlight
Dr. Holly De Vries graduated from Dordt College in 2000 with a major in animal science and a pre-veterinary emphasis. Upon graduation from Iowa State University, she was hired as an associate veterinarian at Central Vet Clinic in Sioux Center. She works primarily with dairies, her area of choice.
De Vries says she received a well-rounded education at Dordt, taking classes such as personal finance, theology, and communication while also completing all the basic vet school requirements. "When I arrived at vet school I was ready for the veterinary curriculum."

Distribution is an asset mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where the player sells drugs, disguised as 'Ice Cream' on the streets. To start this mission, head over to the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory in Little Havana and enter the Mr. Whoopee ice cream van. To call pedestrians over to the van, press the horn to activate the ice cream jingle and stop the van nearby.
After four 'ice creams' are sold in a row, the police become suspicious and will start chasing Tommy, with a one star wanted level. The wanted level is cumulative, so selling 4 'ice creams' while under a one star wanted level nets a two star wanted level. The easiest way to lose the cops is when you have one star wanted level is to run away from the cops until it's gone or to use one of the nearby Pay 'n' Sprays, but if the player has more than one wanted it is very convinient to go to the Pay 'n' Sparays as more than one wanted level cannot be evaded without it. Local gangs (such as the Cubans, Haitians and the PIGs) will attack the Mr. Whoopee van if they see it. It is presumed this is because most gangs are involved in drug distribution and view Tommy as unwanted competition, although it isn't directly stated, making places like Little Havana and Starfish Island very inconvinient to sell 'ice cream' in.
The best place to sell ice cream is in the Viceport area near the docks. There are many pedestrians to sell to, and a Pay 'n' Spray in close proximity.
However, the easiest way is to park the van in front of a Pay 'n' Spray with the rear facing the garage entrance, then sell the 'ice cream'. Once you've sold 4 'ice creams', back into the garage then drive back out and continue. Repeat the process.
After the player has sold 50 ice creams the Cherry Popper Icecream Factory asset is completed and the company will generate revenue up to $3000 every day.
- If the player exits the 'ice cream' vehicle without selling at least 50 'ice creams', the player will have do the distribution starting from 0 to 50 'ice creams' all over again as the game doesn't have a checkpoint from the distributions the player has made, so it is recommeded for the player to fully complete 50 distributions to pass the mission.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Use your Mr. Whoopee Van to distribute Cherry Poppers product around the city.
Useful Places to Distibute
- The docks at Viceport - Also has a Pay 'n' Spray nearby.
- Hyman Memorial Stadium, Downtown.
- Ocean Drive, Ocean Beach.
Least useful Places
- Areas with other gangs

Under the direction of Dr. J. David Arnott since 2001, the CSB/SJU Symphony Orchestra is the largest and most prominent orchestra at the colleges. The Orchestra performs the standard orchestral repertoire, including a variety of music ranging from the Classical era through the 21st century. The Orchestra regularly invites phenomenal guest artists with whom to perform; in just the past few years, the Orchestra has performed Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker with The Minnesota Ballet, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor with Christopher O'Riley, and premiered innovative composer and violinist DBR's Club Dance Manifesto.
The Orchestra performs four - five concerts each year in the impressive Escher Auditorium and provides music for other events. In addition to these concerts in CSB's Benedicta Arts Center, the orchestra tours regularly (with occasional international trips) - the CSB/SJU Symphony Orchestra will take a domestic tour in 2013.
This ensemble rehearses every other day and schedules dress rehearsals in the evenings prior to each concert. For both music and non-music majors, this course offers practical pedagogical experience.
**CSB/SJU ORCHESTRA 2013/2014 Schedule**
The new Five-Day academic schedule allowed a significant change to be made to the orchestra schedule which brings our rehearsal contact time more in line with our regional sister institutions.
Tutti orchestra rehearsals will be from 1:05-2:25 Tuesday and Thursday. These rehearsals are for everyone-winds/brass/percussion/strings. Please do your best to avoid labs during this time.
We will have string rehearsals from 3:20-4:15 on Monday and Wednesday. We will never use the Friday time (except when absolutely necessary as in during Nutcracker week). Monday will always be string orchestra, Wednesday will be string orchestra or occasionally sectionals.
Next year will certainly be an adventure in scheduling and we all need to do our best to try and make it all work.
Members are selected by audition at the beginning of the year. Interested students should register for MUSC 233 for 0-1 credit.

What is the most important information I should know about morphine?
You may not be able to take this medicine unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant.
Morphine may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.
Do not drink alcohol while you are using morphine. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with morphine. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
Never take morphine in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Do not stop using morphine suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using morphine.
What is morphine?
Morphine is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Morphine is used to treat moderate to severe pain. Short-acting morphine is taken as needed for pain. Extended-release morphine is for use when around-the-clock pain relief is needed.
Morphine is not for treating pain just after surgery unless you were already taking morphine before the surgery.
Morphine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using morphine?
Do not use this medicine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to a narcotic medicine (examples include methadone, morphine, Oxycontin, Darvocet, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, and many others), or to a narcotic cough medicine that contains codeine, hydrocodone, or dihydrocodeine.
You should also not take morphine if you are having an asthma attack, or if you have a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus.
Do not use morphine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.
To make sure you can safely take morphine, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- a blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines);
- asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, or other breathing disorders;
- liver or kidney disease;
- underactive thyroid;
- curvature of the spine;
- a history of head injury or brain tumor;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- low blood pressure;
- gallbladder disease;
- Addison's disease or other adrenal gland disorders;
- enlarged prostate, urination problems;
- mental illness; or
- a history of drug or alcohol addiction.
Morphine may be habit forming and should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed. Never share morphine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
You may not be able to take morphine unless you are already being treated with a similar opioid pain medicine and your body is tolerant to it. Talk with your doctor if you are not sure you are opioid-tolerant.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether morphine will harm an unborn baby. Morphine may cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using morphine.
Morphine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Older adults and those who are ill or debilitated may be more likely to have serious side effects.
How should I use morphine?
Take exactly as prescribed. Never take morphine in larger amounts, or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow the pill whole. It will release medicine slowly in the body. Breaking the pill would cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
To make swallowing easier, you may open the extended-release capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of applesauce. Swallow this mixture right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Do not stop using morphine suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor about how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when stopping the medication. You may need to use less and less before you stop the medication completely.
Store at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and light.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Morphine is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Always check your bottle to make sure you have received the correct pills (same brand and type) of medicine prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
After you have stopped using this medication, flush any unused pills down the toilet. Throw away any unused liquid morphine that is older than 90 days.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since morphine is sometimes used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Extended-release morphine is not for use on an as-needed basis for pain.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of morphine can be fatal.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, confusion, cold and clammy skin, weak pulse, shallow breathing, fainting, or breathing that stops.
What should I avoid while using morphine?
Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication. Dangerous side effects or death can occur when alcohol is combined with morphine. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure these products do not contain alcohol.
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how morphine will affect you.
What are the possible side effects of morphine?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- shallow breathing, slow heartbeat;
- stiff muscles, seizure (convulsions);
- cold, clammy skin;
- confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior;
- severe weakness, feeling like you might pass out;
- trouble swallowing;
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- pale skin, feeling light-headed or short of breath, rapid heart rate, trouble concentrating; or
- easy bruising, unusual bleeding (nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum), purple or red pinpoint spots under your skin.
Less serious side effects may include:
- weight loss;
- constipation, diarrhea;
- nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite;
- flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling);
- headache, dizziness, spinning sensation;
- memory problems; or
- sleep problems (insomnia), strange dreams.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect morphine?
Do not take morphine with any other narcotic pain medications, antidepressants, sedatives, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, or other medicines that can make you sleepy or slow your breathing. Dangerous side effects may result.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
- cimetidine (Tagamet);
- buprenorphine (Buprenex, Subutex);
- butorphanol (Stadol);
- nalbuphine (Nubain);
- pentazocine (Talwin); or
- a diuretic (water pill).
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with morphine. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

Graduate Certificate in Pastoral Studies
Graduate Certificate in Pastoral Studies
The Pastoral Ministry Institute of Saint Xavier University offers a fifteen credit graduate certificate in pastoral studies. Intended for the training of lay ecclesial ministers in the Church, the certificate curriculum is designed to meet the expectations of the Archdiocese of Chicago both for various lay ecclesial ministry preparations and for ongoing professional development. In addition, completion of the certificate partially fulfills Archdiocesan theological requirements for Pastoral Associates and Directors of Religious Education.
Certificate Requirements
The certificate of pastoral studies is awarded after students have completed five seminars offered by the Pastoral Ministry Institute, one in each of the following areas: scripture, theology, history, pastoral theology and ethics. Seminar offerings (three credits each) may include:
- Scripture
- Pauline Letters
- Jesus and the Gospels
- Pastoral Theology
- Faith Development
- Lay Preaching and Presiding
- Pastoral Counseling
- Canon Law for Lay Leaders
- Theology
- Christology
- Ecclesiology
- Ethics
- Catholic Moral Theology
- Ethics in Pastoral Care
- History
- Religious History
A Collaborative Venture
The certificate program is designed to serve students beginning coursework that will lead to a graduate degree in pastoral ministry and/or commissioned Archdiocesan ministry in Chicago. While any of the graduate courses completed at Saint Xavier University may be transferred into other graduate programs according to the institution's policy for transfer credit, the graduate certificate in pastoral studies will be accepted into either the Catholic Theological Union or Loyola University's Institute of Pastoral Studies.
Fifteen hours of the certificate of pastoral studies will be accepted into the Catholic Theological Union toward a master of arts in pastoral studies or a master of divinity degree.
Nine to twelve credit hours of the certificate program will be accepted into the master of arts (pastoral studies) at Loyola University's Institute of Pastoral Studies.
The Archdiocese of Chicago Lay Ministry Formation Programs have information and applications for those interested in pursuing lay ecclesial ministry as a pastoral associate or director of religious education.
Together in God's Service, the program for Lay Ecclesial Ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago, offers financial assistance for those who hope to minister within the Archdiocese.

President Barack Obama addressed the fiscal cliff issue with the nation Friday night, saying he was still optimistic a deal could be made, but congress needed to take immediate action. Failing to reach the January 31st deadline would likely result in tax increases on the middle class, and a hit to the country's economy.
Congressman Walter Jones says he could sense the president's frustration.
"I think for both parties it's been very frustrating. I've said many times that these past 2 years have been a very dysfunctional two years, and I've been there 18 years," said Rep. Walter Jones, (R)- N.C. District 3
Senate leader Harry Reid and minority leader Mitch McConnell are working on a potential agreement. The president says if no agreement is made, a bill will go before congress for an up or down vote, in hopes of limiting the damage.

"Man of La Mancha" musical comes to Vol State
Submitted on March 29, 2011 at 8:44 AM
It's a musical that launched a timeless song and won a host of awards while on Broadway and now "Man of La Mancha" comes to the stage at Volunteer State Community College. "The Impossible Dream" is just one of the popular songs from the production. It will be presented by the Vol State Theater Department, featuring students and community members.
"Man of La Mancha" is based on the classic novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. In the musical, Cervantes is in prison and conjures up a way to escape. He does so by taking on the identity of Don Quixote and adventures soon follow. An evil magician, love and swordplay are all elements of the show, which won five Tony awards during the Broadway premier in 1965.
"Man of La Mancha" will be presented on March 31, April 1 and April 2 at 7:30 p.m. and April 3 at 2:30 p.m. It will be held in the auditorium at Caudill Hall on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. There is a suggested $5 donation at the door to fund student scholarships. For more information call 615-230-3201.
