This is disturbing yet brilliant; I commend you on a job well done.
You could have made a cameo in Jackson's Thriller.
there's a little too much going on. the difference of the colors makes the image a little chaotic.
Thats the idea.
then why not use compliments, as opposed to 3 clashing minors?
What do you mean?
the colours you used neither clash or go well together. and there's wayyy too many colours, to the point it takes away the focal point from an image. there's no visual path to be found, and the eye finds it boring and tiring to look at.
I'm sorry my friend but your eyes are terrible.. my eyes find this to be an amazing piece focusing first on the eyes and traveling down to bloodstream to the right side (her left) of the mouth then continues following the lips to the slight tent of red in the hair.. afterwords traveling back up the curvature of the black hair and falling back at the eyes... although her left eye (the blue one) does seem to push attention away, it is quickly drawn back by the red blood contrasting against the whiteness of the face.. your statement is invalid
sorry, man. not going to let an amateur photographer tell me what's right and what's not.
I think theres a fine line between constructive criticism and just simply being an ass.
Thanks but no thanks.

This company is priced as if it were going out of business. They do have the cash and assets and receivables. If the business model does not work, close the plants and sit on the cash.
Too bad they didn't follow your advise back then!
too much pain here. why is this stock that lowsy? it is only good for a trade.
the company is in fact going out of business. Their customers are not spending, therefore their cash burn is at an alarming rate. Just look at the financials over the past few qtrs...doesn't take a genius to see they are eating thru cash very quickly. Just because they have no debt doesn't necessarily mean that they will survive. Throw your "fundamental analysis" out the window. It doesn't apply to todays new world.
<If the business model does not work, close the plants and sit on the cash. >Yes, they should have done that years ago. Management does not know how to run a business and make a profit.
Yes they should fire the rest of them and start over. They should also try to sell off some of their green fuel investments.I hope that the earnings next week won't bring us down any longer. This is ridiculous to say the least.

The Ocean of Theosophy
by William Q. Judge
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
The Ocean of Theosophy was published by its author, Wm. Q.Judge. Since that time thousands of books dealing with Theosophy have been published by more or less prominent students of Theosophy, but unfortunately for the public, none of these show the knowledge, grasp and range which is so evident in the present volume, and still more unfortunately, the metiiods pursued by tiiese latter-day writers have served to obscure the fact of the existence of an exposition of Theosophy written by a Teacher of that Science of Life. As the Authors Preface shows, the book was written in such a manner as to be understood by the ordinary reader; the simplicity of the terms used, however, should not mislead the reader into thinking that the work is an elementary one, for behind and within every statement there is a depth of meaning that the careless and superficial fail to perceive. It is really a simplified text-boK)k of the fundamental teachings of Theosophy, and is found by students of the Secret Doctrine to be a true abridgement of that great work and a wonderful aid in its comprehension; it was written with that end in view by the only one competent to do so and is therefore eamestiy recommended to every student of Theosophy. The passage of years has served to show, not only the value of tins Uttie book, but the status of Mr. Judge as a Teacher. Everything he has written bears impress of his deep knowledge to every real student of Theosophy. Even the ordinary reader cannot fail to perceive that only One Who Knows could have so applied Theosophy to the circimistances and conditions of every-day himian existence.

LONDON - Google is in talks to buy the social media micro blogging site Twitter, according to reports.
The technology blog Techcrunch has stated that the companies are in late-stage acquisition talks, with a view to a possible sale.
As yet, no price has been mentioned, although it is likely to be substantially more than the $500 million that Twitter turned down from Facebook in November 2008.
After turning down Facebook's offer, Twitter's co-founder Biz Stone said that the company was keen to remain independent to allow it to explore the possible ways of building a functioning revenue model.
Last month, reports also emerged that Amazon, the online retailer, was considering making a bid for Twitter.

1. You could make some Red Bull cupcakes.
With Red Bull in the batter and frosting! Not sugar-free, duh. Recipe here.
2. Or these ones that also feature Pop Rocks.
Why? Don't ask silly questions. Recipe here.
3. Then you could get in touch with your creative side.
4. And partake in the time-honored (since 1999!) tradition of Red Bull can art.
5. You could appreciate its awesome power by figuring out how much could kill you.
6. Then pop a few of these Jell-O shots.
Because it's not like you're going to stop drinking Red Bull. Haha, silly. Recipe here.
7. You could get a job driving this thing around.
Part of the gig may be having to give some Red Bull away, however.
8. Or gather some friends and impress them with this sorcery.
This guy can open a full can, turn it upside down, and nothing spills out!
9. And admire the time and care it took someone to make this cake.
10. These sprinkle-y, caffeinated cake pops, though, you could totally make yourself.
This girl clearly has one of the great culinary minds of our time. Recipe here.
11. But if you want to feel slightly better about your caloric intake, there's this Red Bull smoothie.
Recipe here.
12. And later on, you could whip up a salad with Red Bull dressing.
Recipe here.
13. Which pairs perfectly next to a Red Bull-marinated steak!
Slight variation on this recipe here.

NCAA madness continues long after March
March Madness 2014, basketball edition, is over, but the real madness in college sports is still disgracefully alive. Dr. Richard Lapchick's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport annual NCAA tournament graduation rate study, released last month, shows that White basketball players graduate almost 25 percent more often than Black players at many Division I schools. Last weekend's four finalists all posted "disparity gap" graduation rates among their Black players. "When you look at the schools participating in the Final Four, and you look at the graduation rates of Black males…it's a travesty," noted Black Star Project Executive Director Phillip Jackson in a recent MSR interview. Then there's the rarely-discussed North Carolina academic scandal. Continue Reading →

Whistleblower persecuted for exposing UNC academic scandal
While people's busted tournament brackets dominate this year's March Madness hoops chat rooms, once again little or nothing has been said about that proverbial 2,000-pound elephant in the room — the continued hypocrisy of college sports. The University of North Carolina was among the 68 men's teams and 64 women's teams in this year's respective NCAA tournament fields. This despite a huge academic scandal that has hovered over Chapel Hill for at least two years now involving the school offering "bogus classes" since the 1990s for mostly basketball and football players. Ohio University Professor David Ridpath told CBSSports.com that the U of M academic scandal in the late 1990s, when class papers were ghostwritten for several basketball players, then considered the worst scandal in sports history, "pales in comparison" to the UNC situation. Remember Minnesota's 1997 Final Four run and their Big Ten title that year as well? The Gophers' NIT crown won in 1998? Continue Reading →

Lynx players, coaches, fans reflect on championship run
Monday's Minnesota Lynx championship celebration looked more like a bon voyage send-off, especially given that every player soon will leave for off-season overseas jobs. "It's awesome having our fans out here and be able to say good-bye to them," said Lynx guard Monica Wright, who heads to South Korea by month's end.
Added Israel-bound rookie Sugar Rodgers of her first overseas assignment, "I'm going down to take care of a little business, to see my family before I head out."
"It's a long off season, and I will miss this group," noted Maya Moore, who will play again in China. Mounds of confetti became a temporary asphalt blanket on Monday as the procession that carried the 2013 WNBA Champions Lynx moved slowly along Nicollet Avenue, with adoring fans providing escort as they made their way to their downtown Minneapolis basketball home. There, inside, a large crowd impatiently awaited the arrival of the only local pro team that boasts a championship trophy these days. Continue Reading →

HBCU Tennessee State plays Gophers here this week
Cupcakes — this is the insulting term local media often uses to undervalue, underestimate and margainize the Gophers men's basketball non-conference opponents each season. Former coach Clem Haskins hated such annual references to his early-season schedule, which included at least one Historically Black College and University (HBCU) school each year. "Not only is it financially beneficial to them [the visiting team gets a guaranteed payout plus a portion of the gate receipts], but it also exposes them to a great city and a great atmosphere and Big Ten basketball," explains Gopher Coach Tubby Smith on scheduling Tennessee State (TSU) at Williams Arena this Thursday at 7 pm. "That's what we try to do on a yearly basis."
Nearly 20 players who played at TSU, including Dick Barnett, Leonard "Truck" Robinson and Anthony Mason, were later drafted and distinguished themselves with long pro careers in the NBA. The late John McLendon, who learned and put into practice the fast break from James Naismith, won over 87 percent of his games as head coach in the 1950s. Continue Reading →

With Coach Kelsey, now four Black female coaches in the Big Ten
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
If Bobbie Kelsey has her way, her Final Four consecutive appearance streak will stay intact. Her last four seasons she has sat on the Stanford bench as an assistant coach as the Cardinal women's team twice played for a national title (2009 and 2010) and twice reached the semifinals (2008 and 2011). However, it's a long shot that her new team will make it five in a row for Kelsey, who's in her first season as Wisconsin head women's basketball coach. She was named the school's sixth-ever head coach last April, as well as U-W's first Black female in this position. "Minnesota has a very talented group," Kelsey told the MSR after her Badgers defeated the host Gophers on January 26. Continue Reading →

Analysts speculate on season's outlook for college women
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
ESPN Analysts Carolyn Peck and Kara Lawson recently discussed this season's women's college basketball storylines. Here are some of their observations:
1) A breakout year for Britney Griner: "I think the international experience that she
had this off-season definitely helped her," observed Peck of the 6-8 Baylor junior center. She also sees Griner's body maturing, "…catching up to what she wants to do" as an offensive player.
"The thing I've seen Britney improve on is her aggressiveness and [ability] to handle double teams," noted Peck, especially the junior's anticipating the doubles coming at her quicker and passing the ball before they arrive. The Gophers will play nationally ranked Baylor in Williams Arena December 4 as part of the Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge. Continue Reading →

I am currently using gdiapers...and I reall like them but my LO is getting ready to move on to another size and I just thought i'd look around to see what else is out there...I LOVE the outter shell with the snap liner and then the cloth inserts concept...Does anyone have a brand that they LOVE with that same concept? There are so many brands and it's like a whole new language that i am so unfamiliar with! Thanks Ladies!
HELP overwhelmed!

Not with the exact concept of a gdiaper...but I think if you tried Flips you would never go back to a gdiaper. Even just the cover with whatever inserts you prefer. Much trimmer, holds things in better....my recommendation.
I also like Ragababe 2-step, grovia shells and inserts and weehuggers covers with a variety of inserts.

i've heard a lot of good things about the flips...i dont really understand the concept of the pocket...the website i was looking at wasnt very helpful
MW to Gary(2-17-06) ( o Y o ) ChristFollowing*CDSAHMamma **Angel babyZLS(8-16-08) Pprom@17w & Angel Baby #2(1-1-09) *NJS(9-19-10)*LGS(3-31-13)
I'm a huge fan of pockets. The basic concept is that the absorbent insert/liner is slipped between the outer shell and a soft wicking fabric. For my sensitive skin boy it was perfect keeping the pee soaked insert away from his skin. We couldn't use AIO {all in ones} or systems like the g-diaper or Flip. Pocket brands I love are Bum Genius OS {one size so works from 9-35 pounds} and Sunbaby OS 4.0 diapers.
A friend of mine who tried and liked g-diapers fist loves the Bum Genius AIO's and she also likes pockets.
I second the Flip preference over the g-diaper too! We'll be using the Flip covers and disposable inserts for going out and about this time over disposables.
You can try diaper packs that have a variety of brands available at many cloth diaper stores online. There is cottonbabies.com, jilliansdrawers.com, nickisdiapers.com, and many others out there you can check out. A great forum for advice and used diapers is found at diaperswappers.com.
Good luck!

Berlin business is hit with fine
BERLIN The owner of a tire recycling business on the Barre-Montpelier Road has been slapped with a $17,000 fine for operating a solid waste facility for the past eight years without a permit.
Fred Budzyn, owner of Budzyn Removal & Recycling in Berlin, was fined $17,301 after Environmental Law Judge Thomas Durkin concluded the discarded tires Budzyn was paid to recycle, reuse or dispose of constituted solid waste.
Durkin arrived at that conclusion after a one-day trial that capped the state Agency of Natural Resources repeated but unsuccessful attempts to persuade Budzyn to resolve the violation by obtaining the certification officials said he needed.
According to agency officials, Budzyn has since applied for a solid waste certification and it is expected one will soon be issued now that a financial responsibility instrument designed to ensure cleanup of the facility is in place.MORE IN This Just InCHELSEA Krace Kay pumped in eight goals and five teammates scored two goals apiece Friday.

Review Summary
- Central South Beach location
- 2 blocks from the beach
- In-room kitchenettes
- Large pool on-site
- Quieter than most hotels on Collins Avenue or Ocean Drive
- Small, outdated, dingy, and damp-smelling rooms
- Water in the pool is strangely greenish-blue
- No pots or pans in the kitchenette
- Unclean beds with no bed skirt covering the mattress
- Wi-Fi costs $9.95 per day
- No gym
Bottom Line
Two blocks from the beach on a relatively quiet stretch of Collins Avenue, with a big pool and kitchenette-equipped rooms, this hotel might look like a bargain -- but it's cheap for a reason. The rooms are old, musty, and outdated, and the pool water is a cloudy blue-green. If you can do without the kitchenette, head to the similarly priced Albion or Whitelaw instead.

Additional Information
About Caja Rural Señor de LurenCaja Rural Señor de Luren is a microfinance institution based in Ica in southern Peru that primarily promotes the development of the country's agricultural sector through lending. Today, it also offers credit for consumers, microenterprises and housing improvements, and has expanded its financial services to promote micro-savings and provide micro-insurance. This institution has been instrumental in helping borrowers recover from the devastating earthquake in the Ica region in 2007, and works with Peru's National Bank to reach some of the poorest and most remote microfinance clients in the country.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

"If NGOs were a political party, we'd vote for them!" --Villagers hit by 2010 floods in Pakistan feel abandoned by govt
28 June 2012 | Article
Around 240 kilometres from Karachi in Pakistan's south, people residing in village Aloo Mallah still suffer the aftermath of 2010's devastating floods and remain estranged from their elected representatives who have failed to rehabilitate their lives or provide them protection.
Narrating her tale of survival from the floods, Bacchi, a frail and aging resident of Aloo Mallah, said that they fled their lands with nothing except their lives and clothes on their backs.
The village head and its namesake, Aloo Mallah, told that NGOs like the Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (PFF), International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have lent a helping hand since the disaster struck over a year ago. According to him, apart from one Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader, who donated one month's rations in Badin, no state representative has come to their aid or even paid them a visit.
"If NGOs were a political party, we'd vote for them," said Bacchi. While they remain grateful for all they have received from various organisations over the past year, residents cannot help but feel abandoned by the government.
Fearing another disaster may be heading their way, the village community are pleading for protection at this most vulnerable time.
Refusing to wait on the government for help and determined to take matters into their own hands, people are looking for ways to protect themselves.
Helping people in this regard are organisations like PFF, Oxfam and UNDP, which have introduced Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) programmes in several villages in interior Sindh.
As the monsoon cycle is in full spate once again, many areas across the country lie at the risk of reliving the devastation that occurred last year. Twenty-four kilometres further down is the Ishaque Thaheemore village, which has been trained under the DRR programme.
Razia Thaheemore, a village resident, said that the training has benefitted the community immensely, and villagers now felt that they were prepared to handle another flood. Razia along with other women has also been trained in how to assist women in times of disaster. The villagers, along with PFF social worker Roshan Bano, help raise awareness among women and children about basic health and hygiene so as to reduce incidence of disease.
The programme's main objective is to make communities more resilient in disaster management and it has proved to be fairly successful. Residents have been provided with houses, alternate sources of livelihoods, first aid training and appear to be less vulnerable to emergency situations.
With the recent floods that have devastated many parts of interior Sindh, the need to protect these vulnerable communities is evidently clear. Key institutional actors and stakeholders need to work together to establish an effective DRR framework.

I'm using F# and Excel Interop to output data to an Excel spreadsheet. My first approach was to individually set each cell:
worksheet.Range(range1).Value2 <- "=sum(a1:a10)"
worksheet.Range(range2).Value2 <- "=min(a1:a10)"
worksheet.Range(range3).Value2 <- "=max(a1:a10)"
(* etc *)
However, this is too slow when there is a large number of formulas, so I switched to an array:
worksheet.Range(range).Value2 <- [| "=sum(a1:a10)"
"=max(a1:a10)" |]
worksheet.Range(range).Formula <- [| "=sum(a1:a10)"
"=max(a1:a10)" |]
However, now Excel just displays those strings in the cells, instead of calculating the value of the formula. I also tried:
worksheet.Range(range).FormulaArray <- [| "=sum(a1:a10)"
"=max(a1:a10)" |]
But that messed with the target ranges of each formula. I'm not sure what's going on there. (Instead of leaving it as
"a1:a10", Excel translated the target ranges based on where the formula would be.)
Is there a better way to do this?
Update: I also tried using "=MIN($G$2:$G$5)", but that produced the same effect, where Excel is just displaying the string and not evaluating the formula.
For what it's worth, when if I enter the cell, erase and then re-add any character in the formula, when I hit "enter", Excel will evaluate it.
Update 2: I also tried the following:
worksheet.Range(range).FormulaR1C1 <- [| "=sum(R2C[0]:R4C[0])"
"=max(R2C[0]:R4C[0])" |]
But I get the same problem: Excel renders them as strings instead of evaluating the formula.

- School: School of Humanities
- Credits: 60
- Level: Level 4 (SCQF level 10)
- Typically Offered: Runs Throughout Semesters 1 and 2
- Available to Visiting Students: No
Short Description
Why did the Scottish Parliament ratify a treaty of union with England in 1707? Historians have long debated this question. This course will ask students to assess the conflicting historiography of the making of the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707 and use primary source analysis to formulate their own views. These sources will include memoirs, letters, pamphlets and parliamentary petitions. We will consider the long term context of Anglo-Scottish relations but will focus on the shorter term domestic and international context from the Revolution of 1688-9.
3 hours per week.
Requirements of Entry
Successful completion of Junior Honours in history.
Excluded Courses
2 essays (one in each semester) 10% each
2 seminar papers (one in each semester) 6% each
Seminar contribution (one assessment in each semester) 4% each
Examination: 2 x 120 minute examinations, worth 60% overall
Main Assessment In: April/May
Course Aims
The following aims are shared by all History special subjects:
6. to prepare students for independent and original analysis of a complex range of evidence, including source materials, thereby developing intellectual skills that will be of benefit in a wide range of careers.
7. to show students how a professional historian works.
8. to familiarise students, through source-criticism, with a wide range of problems of interpretation arising from different usages of language, underlying meanings and intentions, differing standards of objectivity, and the variety of purpose and intent associated with historical evidence (written, visual or other).
9. to ensure, through student-led discussion, that the relative validity of alternative historical interpretations is fully recognised.
10. to encourage students to develop the confidence, imagination, skills and self-discipline required to master a similarly demanding brief in the future, whether in historical research or in any sphere or employment where these qualities are valuable.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
On completion of the special subject, students should be able to:
1) identify the long and short term events and issues leading to the approval of a treaty of union in the Scottish Parliament of 1706-7 based on the analysis of primary and secondary source material.
2) evaluate the conflicting historiographical explanations for the union of 1707 including an assessment of the authors' underlying ideological commitments.
3) formulate an independent view of the reltiave importance of key facators in the making of the union based on appropriate evidence.
4) present their findings clearly and effetively in written and oral form

On the Runway: Vladimir Karaleev Summer 2012
After missing two opportunities for pictorial coverage yesterday (I had a more than bad stance in the more than crowded Kostas Murkudis show, then finally hurried from there to Reality Studio's presentation to find out I just missed it. Oh fashion week drama!), I began this day with the beautiful presentation of Vladimir Karaleev. I took so many pictures and had a hard time selecting my favorites, so I decided to just give his collection the space it deserves and show a lot of them:

Magnificent music in HDMarch 26,2014Magnificent music presented in HD
Words strain to portray the magnificence of the two operas we recently had the pleasure of seeing: Borodins Prince Igor at Town Hall Theater, Middlebury, and Massenets Werther at the Paramount Theatre, Rutland.
The operas brought live in HD from the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, were simply brilliant, the monumental Prince Igor production with the bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov as the vainglorious prince, soprano Oksana Dyka and mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as Princess Konchakovna; and Werther, with the stunning tenor Jonas Kaufmann as the unrequited-in-love melancholic and the mezzo-soprano Sophie Koch as the equally exciting and intense Charlotte.
These operas are two of this seasons Met Opera HD Live series that are simultaneously transmitted from the Met to both of the above theaters.
While the sound system at Town Hall Theater could use improvement, at the Paramount, it was as good as could be expected from digital transmission. But then what could capture in retention the soaring high C of Sophie Koch, except, of course, being at the Met? Unfortunately, sound transmission also occasionally broke on certain octave ralentando. But then, we were in Vermont.
The Met Live in HD series continues through April and May, so for an exceptional afternoon of drama, voice and music, please go.

Health Care and Genetics: Multiplying Paradigms
White, Stephen W., National Forum
In his 1985 book MegaTraumas, Richard D. Lamm, former governor of Colorado, imagines the following scenario:
It is the year 2000 and the new president of the United States is about to write her State of the Union message for delivery before Congress. On her desk are the frank and outspoken reports she has requested from her cabinet officers and agency heads; along with them are other memos, speeches, and excerpts. This is the raw material for her speech--and it makes up a fascinating and fearful account of how the United States got so badly off strategic course in the final two decades of the twentieth century.
The most disturbing document on the president's desk is entitled "A Speech by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to the Association for a Better New York, 15 February 2000," about the necessity for rationing health care--a proposal that has provoked a "firestorm of criticism."
The proposal to ration is driven by numerous forces. Hospitals have overbuilt; malpractice litigation is out of control (e.g., 100 percent of the obstetricians in Washington, D.C., in a given year were sued by patients); the practice of defensive medicine is spreading among doctors to avoid lawsuits; hospitals are purchasing high-tech equipment at alarming rates; facilities are duplicated many times over in the same town; more and more of the 37 million uninsured are using hospital emergency rooms, the most expensive way to deliver treatment for primary care; too many doctors are being trained; research is spawning new medical devices faster than the economy can financially assimilate them; greater access to health care for many had become a reality; and, to top it off, we have very few preventive health-care measures in place.
The statistics are dramatic and alarming. Health-care expenditures are rising three times as fast as the general inflation rate. Looking back from the year 2000, the secretary notes that in 1983, the United States was spending on health care "$355 billion dollars a year, approximately $1 billion a day, $40 million dollars an hour, $12,000 per second," so that health care was becoming the "Pac Man" of every household, business, state, and federal budget. The figures increased annually each and every year after 1983, trebling every ten years.
The secretary proceeded to get harsh: "The United States could not afford to entitle everyone to all the medical care that technology invented without" significantly traumatizing "other aspects of the economy." Specifically, in 1984 Chrysler Motors had to produce "70,000 cars just to pay its health-care costs." Then in a direct assault on specific aspects of an ailing health-care paradigm, one driven by consumer service demand rather than by health promotion, the secretary asks, "How many hearts should we give to the smoker? How many liver transplants can we afford to give to an alcoholic?" The secretary might also have asked, "How many drunk drivers will we allow to continue to maim, disable, or kill our fellow citizens who then require health care?" And the list of such questions could be multiplied ad infinitum.
Perceiving health care to be a potentially "public policy bottomless pit," the secretary proposes, as part of rationing, that we "not fund transplants, artificial organs, or extraordinary procedures for those over sixty-five." In 1993 our hope is that with the determination and sharp accounting scissors, policymakers will "fix" some of the problems that ail the current health-care system while expanding access. And the next issue of National Forum will be devoted to "Health Care and National Policy." We need to reduce the net amount of litigation, refrain from purchasing duplicative technology, and limit hospital stays. We may also want to institute price controls, establish stronger precertification requirements for in-hospital procedures, move more people to home health-care rolls, and limit access to procedures beyond a certain point. …

Fantasy Lands' Ailing Turnstiles
By JAMES STERNGOLD
Published: February 24, 2002
THEME parks may derive their appeal from fantastic visions seemingly detached from any real sense of time or place, but Sept. 11 brought home the reality of how rooted these destinations can be in the here and now.
With air travel going into a steep slump after the terrorist attacks, the parks that depend most on visitors from afar saw their attendance figures drop sharply. Then there was the gnawing recession, taking another bite out of the businesses. In fact, business had already been soft at some of the largest theme parks before Sept. 11 as families cut down on spending.
But now that estimates of 2001 attendance are available, and the amusement companies are better able to assess their prospects, a bit of the gloom has lifted, certainly for many of the nation's smaller amusement parks.
At some parks where attendance declined sharply after the attacks, business has improved slowly. While it may have not risen to the levels expected a year ago, it is better than in the period just after the attacks. And regional parks, which depend on stay-at-homes for their business, have actually enjoyed a modest upswing, officials of those parks say.
In fact, the gap dividing the traditional sides of the theme park business appears to have widened. The bigger so-called destination parks, like Disneyland or Universal Studios, which derive a significant portion of their business from people who fly in from hundreds or thousands of miles away, have suffered the most.
''That has always been the trend in this industry, and it just became more pronounced this time around,'' said Susie Storey, the spokeswoman for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, a trade group that represents most big parks. ''All the parks have told us they aren't where they wanted to be, but it's been worse for the destination parks.''
According to Amusement Business, a trade publication, attendance at Disneyland, in Anaheim, Calif., dropped 11 percent in 2001 from the previous year, 15 percent at Epcot, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., 10 percent at Universal Studios Orlando, 9 percent at Universal Studios Hollywood, 6 percent at Disney-MGM Studios, near Orlando, and 4 percent at Magic Kingdom at Disney World.
The slowing economy last year and the toll taken by Sept. 11 were evident at the California Adventure park at Disneyland. The park, seeking to increase spending by its visitors, had arranged a contract with Wolfgang Puck to operate an expensive seafood restaurant called Avalon Cove. But it was doing poorly, and in November Disney took over the management and changed the menu to more mainstream American cuisine. In addition, the Robert Mondavi company had operated the Vineyard Room restaurant at Golden Vine Winery, a theme pavilion at the park. It was another upscale restaurant that was not performing well, so Disney also took over its management late last year.
Experiencing far more success are the regional parks, whose customers overwhelmingly come from within about 200 miles, and drive. They frequently make day trips, and so concentrate their spending inside the parks, rather than at hotels or restaurants outside.
Those visits seem like cheaper alternatives to more elaborate vacations that involve flying. So in times of stress, both psychic and economic, they have benefited, officials say.
For instance, at SeaWorld San Diego -- which gets some visitors from great distances, but relies mostly on regional traffic -- business increased 13 percent in 2001, according to Amusement Business. Paramount's Kings Island, in Ohio, was up 4 percent, Morey's Piers, in Wildwood, N.J., was up 3 percent, Six Flags Over Texas was up 8 percent, and Busch Gardens The Old Country, in Williamsburg, Va., which introduced a theme area called Ireland, had a 17 percent rise in attendance.
VISITORS to many of those parks have benefited from promotions used to keep attendance figures up. For instance, SeaWorld San Diego allowed visitors who bought a full-price day ticket between January and April to return as many days as they wanted last year for free. The deal is in effect again this year. And at California Adventure in Anaheim, now part of the Disneyland Resort, adults got in at the children's price from late June to early September last year while those 9 and under got in free. At the 10 largest theme parks in the country, concentrated in Florida and Southern California, attendance dropped by 7 million, to a total of about 80 million. But the good outweighed the bad over all, because of the larger number of smaller regional parks.
According to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, business over all managed a slight increase in 2001, to 319 million in attendance from 317 million in 2000 at the 450 parks in the United States and abroad, and revenues were flat for the year at $9.6 billion. Ms. Storey said that, while the destination parks traditionally do better in good times, in part because of their bigger marketing budgets, smaller parks have held steadier in tough economic times, and that was true last year.

Yahoo: Long on Hope, Short on Details
TheStreet) - Yahoo! (YHOO - Get Report) may have got a first-quarter earnings beat, but CEO Scott Thompson's plan to turn the company around was long on hope and short on details. When Thompson initially announced his plan to reorganize the Internet giant earlier this month, investors became uneasy because it didn't provide any clarity on how to fix the company.NEW YORK (
There were some new details offered late on Tuesday, but nothing earth shattering. Thompson did say that Yahoo! is going to cut 50 of its under-performing properties, but did not say which ones. "We don't have to reinvent who we are, but we do need to reinvent our experiences ...we have to move and think like a growth company," Thompson said on the conference call. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Jordan Rohan derided the lack of detail from Thompson. "In our view, the strategy was too vague and fell into the category of 'easier said than done'," he wrote, in a research note. "We believe the unstated new strategy could be to hang in there long enough to sell the company. We are fine with that," Rohan wrote in his research report. He rates Yahoo! shares "buy," and raised his price target to $21 from $18. Thompson repeatedly mentioned that Yahoo! is going to use its data to understand its customers better and give them what they want. He also wants to see uniquely relevant content. "So when I visit Yahoo! Sports today, the only thing I actually want to see is Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox. And that's uniquely relevant to me, personalized for me and we ought to be able to do much, much more of that than we've done to this point in time," Thompson said on the call. The little tidbits of detail on his plan, while better than nothing, probably aren't enough to keep activist investor Dan Loeb of Third Point at bay for long. Loeb, who is Yahoo!'s second largest shareholder, is waging a proxy fight with Yahoo! about putting members onto its board. Loeb certainly can't be happy that Yahoo!'s search deal with Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) isn't living up to expectations, generating way less revenue than Yahoo! anticipated. CFO Tim Morse described the lack of progress on the revenue per search (RPS) agreement with Microsoft as "concerning," but tried to assuage concerns, saying expectations will be met before the agreement runs out. This seems more like the Yahoo! of old than the new Yahoo! Additionally, the search war has been lost, and lost badly, to Google (GOOG - Get Report).
