Fish Report - February 2013 - Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures
We have had a good February's worth of fishing in Guatemala on 'Decisive' with many happy anglers and some extremely consistent sail fishing. Most of our time was spent teasing fish in for the fly in beautiful blue water some 10 - 20 miles from the port. Capt. Brad was awarded The Billfish Foundations, Release Captain of the Year Award and the Pacific Sailfish Release Award at the Annual TBF Awards held at the Miami Boat Show in Feburary. This is the 11th year straight that Brad has won this prestigious award. On the 2nd of February Brad released his 25,000th career Billfish, a monumental milestone with over 23,000 of these fish having been released in Guatemala over the past 13 years along with his longtime mate Kennedy Hernandez working the deck, there is no other team like it out there and the much deserved congratulations have been rolling in from all quarters for this outstanding accomplishment!!! So as you can see it's been a busy month. The month started with Todd Gillespie, Karl Zierfuss and Gerry Inglesby of Chestertown MD, releasing 18 sailfish from 21 bites on the 1st of February. They released 18 from 25 the following day and 13 from 18 their final day, for an action packed trip. Mike Coe and his son Andy joined us on the 4th for 3 days of flyfishing. The fish proved a little finicky but the duo had a great trip releasing a few fish each day on the long wand. The 11th to 14th saw us fishing with Mike Levitt and friends of Maryland releasing a total of 40 sails and some nice dorado. Jim Owens, John Owens, Charles Bottcher, John Duckworth, fished with us the 15th releasing 14 from 15 sailfish, with 6 releases the next day and 5 the following. The 18th saw our Port Aransas friend Bobby Richter and sons, Bryan and Matt with us fishing the fly and boat combo releasing 2 on fly and 3 on bait, with 2 on bait the next day. Things picked up the following day with 17 releases on bait and 1 on fly and then 7 on boat and 3 on fly the next day. Curtis Thorpe, Scott Parker, Kevin Harmon, and Harvey Steinhagen III all of TX, joined us to fish the fly, releasing 2 on fly and 7 on bait the 22nd. The 23rd they released 4 on fly and 5 on bait and 2 on fly and 10 on bait the next day. The 25th to 28th saw Vick Tedesco and Bob Korose join us to fish the fly. The friends started off their first day mixing it up, releasing 11 on boat and 1 on fly. The next day they went to fly only releasing a total of 10 sails on fly over the next three days. National Geographic's, Sam Fredrick's, joined us for 10 days over this period to put Crittercams on sails, and some of the footage we were able to get was truly groundbreaking. It really is always very interesting to work with pioneers like Sam and learn from their experiences and findings and help with the research into billfish. One particular female sailfish was filmed with 3 other sailfish partaking in mating rituals within 30 minutes of release......proof that circle hooks and suitably quick fighting times go a long way to healthy releases. We have a busy March ahead of us and it's expected that we'll see another big bite in the next month or two. We have open dates in April and May we are keen to fill and from what we are seeing it will more than likely prove to be a very good time to get down here to enjoy some of the best billfishing there is to be had anywhere. In the old days of Fins n' Feathers we used to give father and son discounts in May, we would again like to offer this special over the next two months to any father or mother wanting to bring down their son or daughter. The adult pays for their lodging and the son or daughter stays free! Please inquire with us for full details, it'll be a very special fishing experience, that's a guarantee!!! Until next report, tight lines, circle hooks and healthy releases. Capt. Brad Philipps''Decisive''

Transform into an evil emperor who let darkness reign over his empire with our Adult's Black Toga Costume. The black and red gladiator style belt, red shoulder drape, wrist cuffs, and black robe make up this ensemble. Just like ancient Roman warriors, the belt has a faux leather look and features pointed pleating. While important Roman leaders like Julius Cesar and Augustus would wear red capes to represent their high status within the Empire, the red portions of this outfit stand out dramatically on the stark black pieces to create a menacing, Gothic effect. That makes it perfect for portraying a crazed, evil version of one of these leaders. You can also use it to portray Nero who let Rome burn and murdered his family. However you want to approach this men's black toga costume, make sure that you pick up our Roman style toy swords and sandals to pull it together.

Comments On Mar 16, 2013:Bought this for prerunning in Baja with an etrex 20. The second day of riding, the GPS poped out of the mount and once I noticed and backtracked to find it, it was too late. It got run over by a truck also prerunning and my GPS is now ruined.

Comments On Nov 12, 2012:This is a great little mount for your GPS at a price you won't believe. The only thing I don't like is you have to drill holes to mount it. Just take your time and mount it where it will be the easiest to see and won't get into your way. I ground the disconnect handle to take the corners off just encase. Mount has a good hold on the unit so won't be lousing it.

Spendor A3 review
Spendor's new compact floorstander has much in common with the company's successful SA1 baby
Spendor's new compact floorstander has much in common with the company's successful SA1 baby
This speaker might look old-fashioned, but that's really the whole point of Spendor's Classic range
A worthy successor to the S6e, this speaker adds extra refinement on several fronts
Spendor has a long and illustrious history in the UK loudspeaker business. The company started almost 40 years ago with Spencer and Dorothy hughes (hence the name Spen-Dor) harnessing the expertise gained from Spencer's years in the BBC's sound engineering department.
Surprisingly, Spendor's 'Classic' S3/5 loudspeaker has been around for more than a decade, quietly filling the gap made when the evergreen BBC-designed LS3/5a speaker became hard to pin down. Why 'surprisingly'? Because the UK company hardly sold any of these small standmount monitors in the home country.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - The two people accused in the highly publicized murder of a former St. Louis University athlete in broad daylight are scheduled to appear in court Friday.
18 year old Keith Esters is the alleged trigger man in the shooting death of Megan Boken of Wheaton, Illinois on August 18th. He's charged with first degree murder, attempted robbery, and armed criminal action in the case.
Ester's accomplice, Johnathan Terrell Perkins is accused of second degree murder, attempted robbery, and armed criminal action after police say he drove Esters to the Central West End to commit a robbery, then waited for Esters to serve as the getaway driver.
Investigators say Esters saw the victim talking on a cell phone while seated in her car. Esters then confronted Boken; a former volleyball player at St. Louis University, who was in St. Louis to participate in an alumni game later that evening.
During the course of the confrontation with Boken, police say Esters tried to take the woman's property and then shot the victim twice before running to the vehicle where Perkins was waiting.
If convicted of the crimes, Esters could face the death penalty while Perkins is looking at life in prison.

September 2006
A healthy baby girl born last January at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital is believed to be the first infant conceived in the United States using a frozen donor egg from a commercial egg bank. While the use of fresh donor eggs has been around for more than a decade, the procedure for freezing and thawing eggs-cryopreservation-has become routinely successful only in the past two years.
"Frozen egg technology is expected to become universally available in the next few years and replace the use of fresh donor eggs."
"Frozen egg technology is expected to become universally available in the next few years and replace the use of fresh donor eggs."
Donor eggs are used in an infertility treatment called in vitro (Latin for "in glass") fertilization (IVF). First introduced in 1978, IVF is a highly sophisticated procedure. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) reports IVF accounts for less than 5 percent of all infertility treatment in the U.S.
Whether IVF is called for typically depends upon the reasons for infertility. For some couples, IVF may be the only option to have "biologically related" children.
When IVF was introduced 25 years ago, most infertile women used their own eggs in the treatment. Recently, however, more women are considering donor eggs because they are unable to produce healthy eggs on their own, often due to the early stages of menopause. IVF with donor eggs has also become a successful therapy for younger women who have poor quality eggs or have had their ovaries removed, as well as those concerned about passing a genetic abnormality on to their child.
According to ASRM, 10,000 babies worldwide are born each year from donor eggs. Typically, fresh eggs have been used, with the harvesting of the donor's eggs timed so they can be immediately fertilized in the laboratory and put into the recipient's uterus.
One problem with fresh donor eggs is that the reproductive cycles of the recipient and the donor must be synchronized, which may not be successful. Additionally, the donor can give eggs to only one recipient at a time. Frozen donor eggs, on the other hand, can be thawed and used at the woman's convenience, and one donor can contribute to multiple women.
Only about 120 babies worldwide are thought to have been born from eggs that have been frozen and thawed prior to fertilization. It's difficult to determine the success rate, but estimates of successful births range from 30 to 50 percent. The federal Food and Drug Administration still considers the procedure experimental. However, this technology is expected to become universally available in the next few years and replace the use of fresh donor eggs, just as frozen donor sperm replaced fresh sperm more than 20 years ago.
Originally, women who needed donor eggs turned to a friend, relative or anonymous donor. But because of increasing demand, the need for donor eggs is growing rapidly, and many women have difficulty finding an appropriate donor.
Anonymous donors are solicited chiefly through advertisements, many in college newspapers or Web sites such as Craigslist. Potential donors are rigorously screened and must pass medical and psychological tests before they are accepted. They must also be willing to undergo approximately 10 days of drug treatments and retrieval of the eggs, a process that is akin to minor surgery. Although slight, there is a chance of complications.
ASRM considers donating eggs safe when proper screening and treatment are conducted. The organization acknowledges there are potential risks to the donor, primarily from the drugs used to stimulate the growth of multiple eggs at the same time and from the procedures used to obtain the eggs.
According to Cryo Eggs International, one of two commercial egg banks worldwide, about 70 percent of the frozen eggs survive the thawing process. Donated eggs are frozen for at least six months and released for sale only when the donor has been tested a second time for HIV and other infectious diseases.
A sign of the rapid progress in fertility medicine has been the quick commercialization of IVF with frozen donor eggs. Within the past year, commercial egg banks have begun advertising frozen donor eggs on the Internet. Women can now browse Web sites, check out potential donors and order eggs no matter where they live. The challenge is to find a facility, such as UK's Division of Reproductive Endocrinology, with doctors who can perform IVF with frozen eggs.
Future applications of this technology include fertility preservation, an umbrella term for postponing fertility. It currently applies to cancer patients who preserve their fertility by freezing their own eggs prior to potentially damaging treatments for use at a later date.

Infertility is a problem for about 15 percent of the married couples in this country. A couple is said to be infertile when they've been trying to become pregnant for a year without success. In the past, the condition was due chiefly to problems with sperm count, the fallopian tubes, ovulation or the uterus. But in recent years, the most common diagnosis physicians treat has become age factor, which means the female patient is unable to make eggs healthy enough to achieve pregnancy, usually because of advanced age.
"The convenience of frozen donor eggs is a tremendous advantage for infertile couples experiencing the age factor."
Sperm banks, commercial enterprises that help infertile couples when the male patient is unable to produce enough healthy sperm, have been around for decades to provide appropriate help for men. For couples who feel this option is right for them, such companies provide a very valuable and family-building service.
Women didn't have a similar option until two or three years ago. There were no egg banks until recently. The convenience of frozen donor eggs is a tremendous advantage for infertile couples experiencing the age factor. The use of fresh eggs from donors requires synchronization of the patient and the donor, which can be difficult, and about 15 percent of attempts are cancelled for various reasons.
In addition to convenience, the risk of transmitting an infection from the donor to the patient is much less with frozen eggs. Donors can be tested for infection long after the eggs have been harvested, eliminating the risk of an early, undetectable infection being present at the time of egg collection. We anticipate, as the use of frozen donor eggs becomes more widespread, the fresh egg donor will disappear.
Nevertheless, the freezing and thawing technology is somewhat challenging. It's taken many years of research to learn how to freeze and thaw human egg cells so the majority can survive. It takes a special expertise, such as that we have at UK, which gives patients a unique advantage and an option they can pursue if they feel it's appropriate for them.
Going through an IVF cycle is very expensive, and the addition of frozen egg donor therapy raises the total cost to $12,000 to $18,000. Insurance seldom pays for this, and unfortunately, not all women who are appropriate for this therapy can afford it. On the other hand, the cost is much less than many other important health care bills and less than other significant bills one pays in life, such as for a new house or car.
Fertility medicine has made great strides in the last 20 years, and the pace of change has radically increased in just the past five years. The use of frozen donor eggs is a major leap forward in reproduction. There's no doubt that for many couples with a devastating genetic problem, it has the potential to take away the worry of passing that problem to their baby. It also will give many newly diagnosed, female cancer patients the hope that, when they survive their cancer, they will not have to sacrifice their fertility to do so.

RENTON, Wash. – Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson first watched the film of Super Bowl XLVIII the next day, before his flight home from New York. He estimates he has seen it 15 times now, even reviewing the TV copy so he could check out the commercials.
And when Wilson stepped into the huddle Friday for the Seahawks' first training camp practice, kicking off the title defense in earnest, he provided a simple reminder to teammates of what it will take to relive the moment for real Feb. 1 in Glendale, Ariz.
"I said, 'Time for a championship season. Every play's a championship play,'" Wilson told USA TODAY Sports. "That's where we've got to focus all the time. That's the way we've got to talk. That's got to be our lingo with one another."
The past 5½ months have given the Seahawks numerous reminders of their 43-8 title rout over the Denver Broncos: a parade through fan-packed downtown Seattle, a visit to the White House, a ceremony to present their diamond-studded Super Bowl rings.
The sign at the entrance to Seahawks Way near the team's facility announces the championship, too. But the atmosphere at Friday's practice was virtually identical to one year ago, when the Seahawks were still aspiring to the pinnacle they've since reached.
"We're not going to change," coach Pete Carroll told USA TODAY Sports. "We're not going to shift gears here and try to respond differently or do anything out of the norm. We're getting good at what we do, so we want to take it to this opportunity again and believe in who we are and what we are and see if we can create a really good football team."
Carroll said he even didn't mention "that Super Bowl thing" in the first team meeting Thursday. He'd already addressed how players should handle the unusual offseason back in the spring and wanted to make sure everyone was looking forward, not back.
"We have a target on our back now, I guess it is," Wilson said. "But I think our mentality, our focus, is it's a brand-new year. And we're trying to do better than we did last year."
What's scary for the rest of the NFL is the champs really could be better.
Aside from Marshawn Lynch's holdout, the Seahawks appear drama-free. Top receiver Percy Harvin is finally healthy. Arguably their four top difference-markers – Wilson, Harvin, cornerback Richard Sherman and safety Earl Thomas – are age 26 or under. No starter on offense or defense has turned 30.
It's a roster with an ascending core that's trying to pull off the first title repeat since the New England Patriots a decade ago.
"We feel hunted, but we're taking each game as our championship game," Harvin said. "I think that's what's so unique of being around this place."
Is there danger in becoming complacent and assuming that doing the same things the Seahawks did a year ago will be good enough again?
"Probably the hard part for people to understand is we have not aspired to be the Super Bowl champion," Carroll said. "We're just trying to be as good as we can be. That doesn't change. The accomplishment doesn't necessarily have to affect us the way you might think. Everybody's understood that.
"This is the best challenge you can have. The best challenge is when you've done something and then you've got to come back and do it and prove that you're worthy."
The path to that proof leads to University of Phoenix Stadium – although it's tough to imagine the Seahawks have many doubters right now anyway.
"I don't pay attention enough to know. I know we don't doubt ourselves," Wilson said. "At the end of the day, you have to ignore the noise, either good, bad or indifferent. That's what we're able to do as a team – we're able to ignore the noise and be in it every day."

Marwencol is the story of Mark Hogancamp, a man who constructed a fictional universe made up of World War 2 toy soldiers and Barbie dolls. This first-rate documentary follows Hogancamp's artistic endeavors and provides the contextual grounding for understanding Hogancamp's drive to heal both physically and emotionally while exploring in great detail, the highly personal and original nature of his work. Hogancamp was brutally attacked outside of a bar by five people. After emerging from a coma, he lost most of his memories and suffered both physical and emotional damage as a result. For therapeutic reasons and to aid in his recovery, Hogancamp began to develop a fictional account of a war strewn town called Marwencol (constructed outside of his trailer home) populated by soldiers, wherein which many of the characters assume the names of friends and co-workers in Hogancamp's real life. Hogancamp situates the dolls within a variety of plot twists, even going so far as to fashion a time machine out of an old VCR that allows one of his characters travel time in order to save the story's main protagonist from the Nazi dolls. He then photographs the dolls playing out their various scenes, many of which mirror Hogancamp's own life.
What happens when Hogancamp's fantasy world of violence and revenge is discovered by an art critic and subsequently asked to exhibit his work in a fancy NYC art gallery? You'll just have to find out. Marwencol will appeal to artists and non-artists alike. Recommended.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami.com) - A Broward man accused in a phony breast exam scheme will serve a little more than one year in jail as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors.
Phillip Winikoff, 81, of Coconut Creek, was also sentenced to two years of community control and has to register as a sex offender.
Prosecutors said he posed as a doctor and offered door-to-door breast exams at a Lauderdale Lakes apartment complex in 2006.
Investigators said two women took him up on the offer and realized something was wrong after the exams started.
Winikoff had faced upwards of 55 years in prison if he had been convicted of sexual battery and practicing medicine without a license.

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. (WRDW) -- One man is dead after a late-night traffic accident on Highway 278 in Aiken County.
The county coroner confirmed 23-year-old Danny Chalker Jr. of Langley SC was pronounced dead at the scene of a one-vehicle crash around 7:30 a.m.
Investigators say Chalker was driving a Honda Accord when the vehicle went off the road, hit a telephone pole and went through a chain link fence before hitting a tree around 10 p.m. Wednesday. The accident was found Thursday morning.
The report says Chalker was not wearing a seat belt.
One person living nearby reported hearing a loud noise around that time but was unable to discover what caused the noise.
Investigators say the cause is currently unknown.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol and the Coroner's Office are investigating, and an autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning.
This is the sixth traffic fatality in Aiken County this year.

MUNCIE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – Ball State University's Board of Trustees voted Friday afternoon to ban smoking on campus, even in designated outdoor smoking areas.
The ban goes into effect on August 1.
According to the Muncie Star Press, the new policy will allow people to smoke in their cars, as long as the windows are rolled up.
In 1998, smoking was eliminated from all buildings on campus. In 2004, smoking was banned within 30 ft. of the entrances to campus buildings. In 2008, outdoor smoking was limited to designated smoking areas.
The article says about 15 percent of Ball State Students and 24 percent of employees are smokers.

A Megaton of Great Fallout: New Vegas Mods
Fallout: New Vegas has only been out for a week and in addition to doing absolutely boffo business, it also had pure win in the form of modding tools that were available within 24 hours of release. So did the Fallout community step up? Yes, they did, and we've got the proof. Read on and find out some of the best mods already available for Fallout: New Vegas.
PipBoy 3000 Faded Hot Rod Red
This first one is a trifle, but we like trifles. PipBoy 3000 Faded Hot Rod Red expands the customizable options for your Pip-Boy 3000 so that you can choose… faded hot rod red. As you can see, it's pretty fabulous, and you can get a copy here.
Civil Defense Radio
This one's a ton of hilarity. CONELRAD (Control of Electromagnetic [or Electronic] Radiation) was a type of emergency broadcasting during the Cold War days, designed for use in the event of enemy (USSR!!!) attack. It was intended to prevent Soviet bombers from locating American cities by use of radio or TV frequenciess, and to provide essential civil defense information.
Anyway, Civil Defense Radio plays 55 music tracks from the early Cold War era, and includes 29 authentic public service announcements from Civil Defense Washington. Priceless, and you can get it here.
Radio New Vegas Extender
Speaking of radio, this one vastly expands the increasingly monotonous1 Fallout series' radio system, extending Fallout: New Vegas's Radio New Vegas by 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100 songs. You can also change to allow 6 songs to play before Mr. New Vegas cuts in and starts talking again. And if that isn't hardcore enough, choose the 100+GNR version to include Fallout 3′s Galaxy News Radio songs Playlist. It's a bargain at free of charge, and you can pick it up here.
Centered 3rd Person Camera
This mod solves the problems of everyone complaining about the wonky camera in New Vegas, by centering it, and allowing more options for where the camera can be positioned. Count me among those who don't think Arkham Asylum ought to be the new standard for in game camera functions. I'll be getting this one, and you should too.
Wasteland Explorer
Kind of a nifty idea, Wasteland Explorer was converted from creator BigMill's original Fallout 3 Mod of the same name. it presents you with a new quest – titled Wasteland Explorer – that allows you to explore the wasteland without being shunted from quest to quest. There are no objectives other than to wander around and have non-plot related adventures, and might just be the perfect thing if you're looking for the chance to familiarize yourself with the game's many areas without the pressure of mission completion. Once installed, it's accessible from your Pop-boy, and you can download it here.
1) Sorry, but it's true. I am not hating on their awesome retro futuristic apocalypes, but they're quickly running out of past. It gets kind of old hearing the same-sounding collection of 1930s-1950s music.

Tuning in to Telemedicine
Young Docs: The New Blood That Health Care Needs
Prevention works if orchestrated by primary care physicians (PCPs) who can perform 60- to 90-minute annual physicals, as opposed to the 15-minute examination that's the norm, says a study in Population Health Management. Researchers noted significantly lower costs for ED visits and use of urgent care facilities for patients given the longer physicals.

Sorrento Therapeutics/MabTech have completed late-stage trials in China for STI-001, a cetuximab (Erbitux) biosimilar for the treatment of EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer, and STI-002, an infliximab (Remicade) biosimilar to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Tenofovir alafenamide is being tested for treating hepatitis B.
Coverage restrictions, such as notably treating the sickest patients while denying medication to others who also are infected, are prompting a growing backlash that is predicted to continue unless payers alter their guidelines. A Harvard Law School group is among those that have taken action.

Risk-sharing agreements between insurers and drug companies have been used on a limited basis up until now. That's changing as manufacturers start to offer significant rebates in exchange for preferred status on an insurer's formulary. For their part, payers want to see quality outcomes and value.
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine rebuts the contention that hospitals will use observation stays to try and avoid penalties for readmitting Medicare patients within 30 days for certain conditions. Good news for patients, who face costs for observation stays that they don't have with inpatient stays.
Direct costs related to
people not taking their medications have been estimated at over
$100 billion dollars annually. Lack of adherence is associated with a 30% to 50% increase in treatment failures. Health plans that want to address this problem must be nimble and work on many fronts.
People don't adhere to treatment regimens for any number of reasons. IBM's Watson Health thinks it can put its big-brain cognitive thinking cap on and figure us out, as revealed in the data fingerprints we leave behind when we enter the health care labyrinth.

The FDA's foot-dragging on drafting regulations on biosimilars, as spelled out in the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) of 2009, has frustrated and confounded not only the biopharma industry, but also the public, health plans, and pharmacy benefit managers because potential lower-cost competitors to expensive biological agents are stalled in the regulatory pipeline.
A flood of tests have insurers ramping up prior authorization and utilization review. Information overload is a problem. As doctors struggle to keep up, health plans need to get ahead of the development of the technology in order to successfully manage genetic testing appropriately.

Charles Schwab Corp Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (SCHW)
TheStreet) -- Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B- . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share and increase in net income. 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).

- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 97.56% to $893.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, SCHWAB (CHARLES) CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -72.06%.
- The stock has not only risen over the past year, it has done so at a faster pace than the S&P 500, reflecting the earnings growth and other positive factors similar to those we have cited here. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.
- SCHWAB (CHARLES) CORP has improved earnings per share by 15.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SCHWAB (CHARLES) CORP reported lower earnings of $0.69 versus $0.71 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.74 versus $0.69).
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed compared to the Capital Markets industry average, but is greater than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 29.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $163.00 million to $211.00 million.

The Child's Purples Grapes Bunch Costume is a fun and colorful outfit that's just as unique and original as it is funny. This ensemble may look heavy and bothersome to wear, but the grapes are actually balloons, which are included in the package. Simply blow up the balloons and place them in their protective skins, which are attached to the body suit. The result is a costume that will make you look like a bunch of grapes picked freshly off the vine. The package includes the purple jumpsuit with a green leaf accent, balloons, and a purple hood. The oversized comical mitts and the green tights shown on the model example are not included but really complete the outfit.

This spanned out to be a two day project for us. We painted everything one day and let it dry completely overnight. Then we finished assembling it the next day. It is now the centerpiece on our kitchen table and every time I walk by it, it is greeted with a cheery smile! I love Spring!
Supplies you will need:
-an empty Egg carton (we used one for 18 eggs)
-plastic fruit cups (we used 9)
-colorful paint
-large wooden craft sticks
-large pom-poms
-green construction paper
-green Easter grass (we used the paper kind)
-craft knife (for adult use only)
1. Start by painting the inside of your fruit cups all of the colors of the rainbow (No need to paint the outside). We threw in some pink and a couple different shades of blue as well. Also, paint your wooden craft sticks green and the bottom of your egg carton brown. We used acrylic paint. Let the paint dry completely.
2. Affix the bottom of the fruit cups to the wooden sticks. You can use tacky glue or school glue but since we are inpatient around this house, we used a hot glue gun.
4. In order to poke the flowers into the egg carton, an adult will have to use a craft knife to cut a small slit in the middle of each egg carton section. You won't be able to place a flower in each section because they will be too crowded, so scatter them out over the egg carton.
5. Now you can poke all of the flowers into the egg carton. Last, we diluted some school glue with a little bit of water and used a paint brush to paint it all over the egg carton. Then spread the green Easter Grass all over the egg carton.

INDIANAPOLIS. (www.incnow.tv) – The bomb squad was called into action at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Indianapolis Speedway Police were called to the area after a cooler with smoke coming from it was discovered in a parking lot Saturday afternoon.
The bomb squad arrived and blew up the container after evacuating the area. When police checked it they found regular "consumer grade" fireworks inside.
As you probably know, thousands of race fans are in Indianapolis this weekend for Sunday's Indy 500. Police say although this turned out to be a false alarm, they are glad the public is keeping a watchful eye out for any suspicious activity.
"This is a prime show of what happens when you see something you say something. Today, somebody saw something suspicious out there in lot A1-C. They made a notification and when that happens you'll see what the agencies standing behind me do, and that doesn't include the FBI and other federal agencies that were out here assisting today," said Trent Theobald with Indianapolis Speedway Police.
The incident closed the parking lot for several hours resulting in traffic jams around the track.

The big thing that I wanted to do in our bedroom was to make it feel like a hotel (on a BUDGET). As you can see, I had a blank canvas so to speak (that's putting it really nicely).
We have a huge palladian window (the kind that looks like a half circle on top), and I didn't want those paper-fan-looking blinds. So my MIL made floor-to-ceiling white drapes. They still let light in but I think that's what makes the biggest impact in the room--I love it! I knew I wanted a pewter/grayish room. The paint color is "Pewter Works" from Farrell-Calhoun. The white/black/gray thing just sort of happened. I always change my decorating, so I know it will all change over time!
I got the star mirror and the lamps from Pier 1. Yes, my side tables are red. I'm not a red person really, but they were such a good deal and I just told myself I'd paint them or something. I obviously haven't gotten around to it. I don't know what the future of these tables are...but they won't stay red. Everyone says to keep them the way they are, but I just don't like red when it comes to decorating---just my personal weird thing!
The bedding is from Bed, Bath, and Beyond....I can't remember the brand! My MIL found this cute fabric and made the bolster pillow. Fun fact: the silvery trim that she used was from my bridesmaids' dresses :o) Speaking of my wedding, here's our invitation framed:
Our office was converted into sweet baby Evy's room, so we had to move the computer into our room. It's convenient, so I can't complain, but what an eyesore. Well, definitely not the desktop wallpaper :o) Oh, notice my daily Sonic Cherry Limeade. I had to include it because one is always there.
And here's our TV. We don't use it very often. I'm sure we will when Kurt is actually home and we can get into bed at the same time to watch something. Maybe someday. The dresser has been in my family for a long time. It's from the 50s-60s I think? I painted it to go in our room, and it's honestly the worst paint job in the history of mankind. Seriously, I did a terrible job. I don't think I prepped it enough, and I spray-painted it...and I didn't use the right finish of paint, so now I can't dust it. It just collects dust but I can't wipe it off. Please learn from my mistake. When we move I am SO re-painting it.
This is an awesome antique corner chair that I got from my great-grandmother after she passed away. My MIL made a matching mini bolster pillow, and I got the seat cover at Marshall's (the others are on our dining room chairs). This is the corner right as you walk in the door of our room.
Another view of the corner. Yes, that's me in the picture. My photographer just printed this out and said he was going to use it for advertising, but then chose another picture of mine or something to that effect. So I have this picture of myself, and I'm NOT hanging it in the main, public part of the house. That's just so narcissistic. I couldn't look at myself all day. I have wedding pictures of us in the house, but not by ourselves. That's just weird. Eventually this will go in Kurt's office or something. The good thing is that this isn't hanging in an obvious place, because I would feel so vain and ridiculous.
I do need to thank my photographer...I'm sure I'll be glad to have this one day!
Thank you for stopping by! I'd love to meet you, so leave a comment and introduce yourself :o) Have a wonderful day!
By the way...here are my two favorite people in the master bedroom. These were taken 2-3 months ago, but why not? I adore them :o)

Defense Against the Dark Arts (sometimes written as DADA) is a mandatory subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in which students learn how to magically defend themselves against Dark Creatures, Dark Arts and against the other Charms.
The curriculum of the class varies greatly depending on what the professor at the time deems appropriate; due to the jinx on the teaching post, a great many teachers have been appointed.
The class is mandatory from the first year until the fifth year, with the option of NEWT classes for those who qualify.
Due to the course being directly related to the Dark Arts itself, wizards with dark incline who wishes to teach would typically apply for this course, notably being Lord Voldemort and Severus Snape.
- Professor Galatea Merrythought (c. 1895 - 1945)
- Professor Quirinus Quirrell (1991 - 1992)
- Professor Gilderoy Lockhart (1992 - 1993)
- Professor Remus Lupin (1993 - 1994)
- Professor Severus Snape as substitute once per month
- Professor Alastor Moody (actually Barty Crouch Jr. in disguise) (1994 - 1995)
- Professor Dolores Umbridge (1995 - 1996)
- Professor Severus Snape (1996 - 1997)
- Professor Amycus Carrow (in practice taught "Dark Arts," not defence) (1997 - 1998)
- Unidentified Professor (1998 - Unknown/Incumbent)
1991-1998 Curriculum
- "You have had five teachers in this subject so far, I believe. Naturally, these teachers will all have had their own methods and priorities. Given this confusion I am surprised so many of you scraped an O.W.L. in this subject. I shall be even more surprised if all of you manage to keep up with N.E.W.T. work, which will be much more advanced."
- —Professor Snape on the curriculum's instability.[src]
Due to the constant changing of teachers, the curriculum of Defence Against the Dark Arts varies from year to year. Each teacher has their own priorities, their respective efficiencies proportional to their beliefs and methods. Such as Quirinus Quirrell and Dolores Umbridge believing that theories are enough (which is, in fact, more hindering), while the more effective Remus Lupin, "Alastor Moody" and Severus Snape have a more balanced belief in theory and practical defence. Gilderoy Lockhart, fraudulent and incompetent, is one known teacher who has taught nothing to the classes of his respective tenure, aside from nonsensical and unrelated materials. In the 1997-1998 school year, the class was changed to Dark Arts.
- "Your previous instruction in this subject has been, disturbingly, uneven. But you will be pleased to know, from now on, you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of Defensive magic."
- —Dolores Umbridge's excuse of depriving students of practical defence.[src]
During the 1995-1996 school year, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had gotten into his head that Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is using the students to create a private army of young wizards to overthrow the Ministry. As such, he implanted Umbridge to become the teacher of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, which he believed to be the main source of training (i.e. Defensive spells) for Dumbledore's would-be soldiers, and supplied a syllabus based entirely on theories on avoiding conflicts instead of facing them, all of which is simply reading out of the textbook, believing that this would be sufficient in passing the examinations. This misguided believe deprived the students on any useful lessons as even the theories are inaccurate, thus leading to the formation on Dumbledore's Army, which taught more practical defence that students from all grades found more useful. Umbridge would later claim that the spells Harry taught were deemed by the Ministry inappropriate for students at their ages.

All known Aurors, since it is a compulsory N.E.W.T. level, therefore O.W.L. must have been achieved before that.
Behind the scenes
- Sixth years are supposed to be given demonstrations on what illegal curses look like; it was only in the 1994-1995 school year that this was changed to the fourth year.
- Tom Riddle twice applied for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position, the first time shortly after graduation from Hogwarts when he was turned down by Headmaster Armando Dippet, who claimed he was too young but invited him to re-apply a few years later. Many years later, after becoming steeped in the Dark Arts and starting to use the title "Lord Voldemort", he visited the school and applied again, this time to Dumbledore. He was refused again. According to Albus Dumbledore, after the second refusal, no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher held the post for more than one school year. Dumbledore believed that this was due to Voldemort placing a curse on the position, a belief that was popularly spread throughout the school.
- When J. K. Rowling was asked for the reason Dumbledore would not give Severus Snape the Defence Against the Dark Arts job, the author responded that Dumbledore believed that teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts would bring out Snape's worst side, though Dumbledore finally relented in Harry's sixth year.[1] Snape himself admitted to Bellatrix Lestrange that reason during their conversation in Spinner's End.[2]
- Rowling has also revealed that after Amycus Carrow was the Dark Arts teacher, a permanent teacher took the post because Voldemort's curse over the job was lifted.
- Whilst it is known that Dumbledore did not wish Professor Snape to teach DADA for fear of relapsing into his Death Eater ways it is also possible that (since the subject had been jinxed) he was also thinking of Snape's physical well-being (not least of all because of how much of importance he could have been, and was, in the long run). Despite Dumbledore's fear, however, Snape did not truly return to his old ways when granted the position he sought for, though he did teach the lessons with a sense of passion for the Dark Arts.
- Each Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher attacked (or attempted to attack) Harry. Quirrell tried to strangle Harry and jinxed his broom during a Quidditch game, Lockhart attempted to erase his memories, Lupin went after him as a werewolf (although he alone out of all the others would never have attacked Harry had he been in his human form), Barty Crouch Jr. (disguised as Moody) attempted to kill him, Umbridge physically assaulted him (and had previously sent Dementors to attack him, though this was before she taught the subject), and Snape attacked Harry in retaliation for the latter trying to curse him during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Ironically, Amycus Carrow, who taught Dark Arts instead of Defence Against the Dark Arts, was attacked by Harry Potter after the former had insulted Minerva McGonagall.
- Dolores Umbridge was the only female Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the series besides Galatea Merrythought (the latter of whom was not actually seen throughout the series, only mentioned).
- The six professors of this subject who taught Harry each had a dark secret that he didn't learn until near the end of their respective school years:
- Quirrell was serving Voldemort and was possessed by him.
- Lockhart was a cowardly fraud who covertly stole the achievements of others.
- Lupin was a werewolf.
- Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jr., an escaped Death Eater.
- Umbridge was the one who sent the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley.
- Snape was the one who had reported the prophecy to Voldemort and was the Half-Blood Prince.
- During his tenure as Potions master, Severus Snape only accepted students who achieved an Outstanding on their OWLs into his NEWT-level Potions classes. However, when Snape became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in the 1996–1997 school year, students who achieved Exceeds Expectations were still allowed to take the NEWT-level DADA classes.
- The only book to have twice been assigned for this subject is The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection.
- Most of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers in Harry's six years at Hogwarts followed a similar pattern: each (with the exception of Quirrell and Snape) was an entirely new teacher; each was chosen out of necessity, due to the loss of the previous instructor and the absence of other applicants; each meets Harry before he arrives at Hogwarts in the respective year (with the exception of Mad-Eye Moody, who was only mentioned in passing, although Harry had unknowingly encountered Barty Crouch Jr at the Quidditch World Cup); and each physically (or magically) attacks Harry during school term, either intentionally or accidentally, as in the case of Remus Lupin.
- In Order of the Phoenix, when discussing who their new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher would be, Harry said that the teachers didn't have much luck: "One sacked, one dead, one lost his memory and one was locked in a trunk for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrel, Lockhart, and Moody, respectively; this isn't true, however, because Lupin resigned rather than was fired.
- Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle are two known students who failed their O.W.L.s in Defence Against the Dark Arts, to which the following year's respective teacher, Snape, gave them both detentions for.
