Through a collaboration between Randy Attwood, Peter Jedicke, and James Edgar, National Council Minutes from the early years of the Society are now on-line.
In the past few days, Minutes from 1910 to 1934 were placed in the National Web Site to join part of the on-going project where historical archives are being scanned, put through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process, proofread, and then saved in both html and PDF format for easy access by all.
After a long and cloudy winter and spring, we've finally found time to get the Saskatchewan Summer Star Party 2006 (SSSP'06) website up and running.
Mission Ridge Country Estates, located in the RM of Aberdeen, requested advice on limiting light pollution since they were interested in creating a country atmosphere where estates were not lit up like living in the city.
As as result, they adopted, verbatim, recommendations we provided.
Old minutes now on-line!

Atlanta police say a body has been found in a
pile of rubble left from the tornado that slammed into downtown
earlier this month.
Police think it could be the city's first fatality from the
March 14 storm. It knocked out windows and scattered debris across
the city's core. At least 27 people were injured.
Officer James Polite says workers using a Bobcat to scoop up the
debris saw a hand in the pile and called authorities on Saturday.
Another tornado that hit three counties in northwest Georgia on
March 15 killed two people.

Abby spent 3k half in private preschool and also started with the public preschool. In our county though there was no public preschool till this past year so what they had to offer was a self-contained classroom. They prefer for her to continue in that setting 5 days a week this coming fall and start mainstreaming in to the typical 4k class. At the point in which they told us she is on par academically and they recommend her spendig math and phonics in the typical 4k we decided to press them to put her in that class fulltime. Currently (and for the next year) her IEP goals are only therapeutic- ot/pt/slp. Her self-contained teacher reiterated that there was no need for academic goals because she is on par (she knows her alphabet/numbers/colors/shape).
Everyone in our community said it would be a fight. I had hoped they were exaggerating that. We went outside of the self-contained teacher and put in an application for the 4k public school class in our home school (the self-contained class for 3k is in another town nearby). At this point the SPED teacher called us to set up a meeting with the regular teacher, herself and the principal, telling us the purpose was that the school had questions about the thickened liquids Abby drinks. I was weary, but they reiterated that was all it was. Turned out that was not the case, the point of the meeting was to let us know they want her in the self-contained class. We were calm about it and stood by our position that Abby should be in a typical class now- when she can acclimate to it without it impacting her academic career and that our goal for her is full inclusion and for her to follow the regular education curriculum, not the special education curriculum. We reiterated that she has been in a typical kid setting since she was 8 weeks old and currently is in a class with age-appropriate peers and 16 kids to one teacher. I asked the SPED teacher what her concerns were for why Abby needs to be in the self-contained class. She said that when she is working at the table with Abby and another student and turns away from Abby she gets distracted and needs to be redirected to her work again. I asked the regular ed teacher if this is ever the case with the typical kids in her 4k class. She said it often is the case and not just at the beginning of the year that some children still have difficulty staying focused even by the end of the year. I clarified that that would not be an insurrmountable issue then and she agreed it would not. I then also noted to the SPED teacher that the daily reports that come home typically indicate that Abby has been independent with her work and the classroom routine but that socialization has been the area she has typically had the lowest score in. I said that we weren't aware that independence through her work at the table was even an issue- that certainly Abby prefers one-on-one teacher time, but that now that we know it is an issue we can adjust how we work with her to teach her to complete her work independently and not wait for a teacher/grown-up to coax her on. We also had our EI with us at the meeting (in our state we get to keep her until Abby is 5) and she reiterated that we can form a plan to address this need right away.
At this point the principal stepped in to say that if it were his kid he would listen to the expert and that there is a reason that Abby is with the SPED teacher. I clarified that the teacher is an expert in special education, but that I have a masters degree in developmental disabilities and inclusion and we are not your typical family. we are well educated in Down syndrome and how our daughter learns.
There was a lot more, it was a long meeting, but ultimately we left with the understanding (which had been pre-arranged- although not offered until we pressed) that Abby can go to the regular 4k class in her home-school next fall if that remains our preference.
Now we have a meeting summary with additional questions out to the teacher and are waiting for her to confirm in writing where we are in the process.
I bring this up because a. It's a good lesson- you are the expert in your kid. Just because they don't offer regular education and accomodations up, does not mean that they aren't an option for your child. When they tell you your child has difficulty with a particular issue (in our case the focussed independance on work) ask what happens in the typical classroom and if it is ever an issue for the typical children and if so how do they address it with them. You might find that the issue is not a "Down syndrome" issue, but in fact something that the teachers deal with in the general population. And if that is not the case, know that the law says they have to attempt to address it in the regular setting before segretating the child.
The fact that she can go- we just had to insist on it was eye-opening. I"m not someone to question "they system" I usually assume policies/rules are in place for a good reason. But in this case, this system is not up to date, so I'm going to take the need to question them as par for the course. If they have a specific reason for why she can or can't do something, I expect to be told what it is and what they can do to accomdate that issue. If they are going on generalizations of what "people like Abby" typically need we won't be satisfied. No generalizations or stereotypes please. I'm hopeful we won't have to go to the extent of hiring a lawyer to make them comply with IDEA, but we will if need be.
Abby has always shown us that she is capable of learning, so we aren't about to take that skill away from her now.
And b)- anyone else in or has been in this position and would like to talk about it.
Specifically accomodations you have used in a typical classroom, good goals on the IEP for academics and for speech apraxia (this is her biggest area of delay.
I ask because I have to say in our community IRL- there are only 2 other parents I know of that have pressed for this. Most everyone else in our local group has agreed to the "expert's" recommendations of a self-contained classroom with mainstreaming in things like art/recess/lunch etc. These other 2 parents that have been successful with this have offered up a wealth of information on how to prepare ourselves, what to read, pieces of the law to know so that the school administration knows that we also know the law. And unfortunately it has been necessary to take that approach.
Anyone else?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 in VmWare Player, and my host machine is running Windows 7 x64. I was browsing the Web from within the virtual machine, and somehow the site I was visiting tried to infect my computer with malware. Luckily Avast antivirus detected the malware and blocked it. The funny thing is though that Avast is installed on the host machine, not the virtual one, yet it detected the malware.
Is this normal behavior? Does Avast monitor virtual machines as well as the host?
Can a website visited on the virtual machine infect the host machine? How do I prevent this from happening?

Experian credit report does not include eviction reports
Dear Experian,
An eviction is showing on my credit report, per the leasing company I submitted an application to. I have never received paperwork for an eviction, but when I contacted the courts, they show an eviction was filed against me and dismissed. They say there is no judgment against me. How can I go about removing this as it's preventing me from finding new housing because it doesn't show "dismissed" on my credit report.
Entering payment plan will not "restart the clock" for removing charge off
Dear Experian,
I have a charge off from 2009. I am in a payment plan. Does this mean I started the clock over on when the charge off will be removed?
Unreported auto loan could be shown as collection after voluntary repossession
Dear Experian,
I bought a car about 2 years ago at a "buy-here-pay-here" lot. I have never missed a payment and have been a good customer. Since buying the car I have spent over $3,000 in repairs. I recently have been looking to get a new vehicle since the repairs are killing me financially. I was talking to a dealer about a trade in. Much to my surprise, he told me I should simply just give the car back to them. He said to check my credit report and see if they report the payments, and if I did not see it on there, which I didn't, then giving my car back would not hurt my credit. Is it simply this easy? I am going to go upside down on the car $5,000 so it sounds so much more to my advantage, but I worry the risk of having a repo on my credit report. Any advice?
Original delinquency date determines when repossession and collection account will be deleted
Dear Experian,
I had a repossession in July 2006, but on my credit report it states date reported January 2013. A collection agency owns the account now. When will it be removed from my history? Is it based on the date of initial delinquency or the date reported?
Selling or transferring an account to a new creditor does restart the deletion time period
Dear Experian,
A creditor of mine sold my credit card debt to another company after seven years. Do I now have to wait another seven years to have it removed from my credit reports?
Collection accounts are not removed immediately after being paid in full
Dear Experian,
If you have a derogatory record on your credit report from a collection agency and you pay off the debt in full, will the debt be taken off of your report sooner? Or do you still have to wait the seven years?
Car returned under Service Member Relief Act is a voluntary repossession
Dear Experian,
I am in the military and currently serving in Afghanistan. Prior to my departure I turned in my car lease under the Service Member Relief Act. When I check my credit report, it shows up as voluntary repossession, and then right after that it says "Due to military service." Does this have a negative impact on my credit?
Make payments only to the collection agency that currently owns the debt
Dear Experian,
I have two collection agencies reporting the same item. If I pay the current collection company will both of them be updated as paid in full or do I have to pay them separately?
Collection accounts for repossessed car will show in credit report
Dear Experian,
If you have had a vehicle repossessed, will it stay on your credit if the creditor keeps selling the papers to different creditors?
Landlord does not need a judgment to report unpaid rent to Experian
Dear Experian,
Does a landlord have to have a judgment against a former tenant in order for the debt to be reported? Can a collection agency report a debt without obtaining a judgment?

Gaylord Entertainment Co Stock Upgraded (GET)
TheStreet) -- Gaylord Entertainment (NYSE: GET) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally poor debt management on most measures that we evaluated.NEW YORK (

- GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CO turned its bottom line around by earning $0.20 versus -$1.94 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.79 versus $0.20).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry. The net income increased by 408.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$1.96 million to $6.03 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 8.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 8.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 274.41% to $13.92 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 8.36%.
- 43.50% is the gross profit margin for GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CO which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, GET's net profit margin of 2.50% significantly trails the industry average.

Hohmeyer K, Wolff J. A fistful of euros: is the German one-euro job workfare scheme effective for participants?
Welfare reforms have constituted a major policy issue in many OECD countries in recent decades. In Germany, a major reform in 2005 emphasised the activation of welfare recipients and introduced a workfare programme –'One-Euro Jobs'– on a large scale. In the present study, the impact of one-euro jobs on the employment prospects of different groups of participants was estimated. The analysis was conducted on a large sample of welfare recipients using propensity score matching. The sample of one-euro job participants and other welfare recipients was drawn from administrative records comprising all those who started their participation in the programme in early 2005. Our results showed that participation slightly improved the medium-term employment prospects for women but not for men. Participation reduced the employment rate of participants younger than 25 years but raised it for some of the older participant groups. In conclusion, one-euro jobs are effective for participants who have been jobless for several years but ineffective for participants who were recently employed.

THE spirit of a relative amity and friendliness between the two peoples during the French Revolution did not please the colonial clique. The Gazette of Quebec, founded in 1764, and The Gazette of Montreal, in 1778, though strongly British, were too moderate to please men of an extreme type. In 1805 they started the Quebec Mercury which soon began to stir up animosities.1 The paper, disapproved of by moderate Britons, was filled with much material of an aggressive character. Its spirit is reflected in the pages of Christie's history which is so harsh and unfair as to irritate an impartial Briton today. It not only abused France, which was natural enough at the time, but constantly hurled invectives at the French Canadians. In May, 1808, it suggested, sarcastically, that an elementary school should be established for the members of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec to teach them reading and writing.2 Upper Canada ought to have had such a school sixteen years later according to E. A. Talbot3 and thirty years later, if we believe Mrs. Jameson, for some members of the Toronto Assembly.
Le Canadien, called into existence by this provoking publication, gave, at the start, positive proofs of the loyalty of the editors to Great Britain, and of their admiration for British liberty.4 At the same time, they defended them-____________________

"Relaxation Island" Top 5 Page for this destination Marco Island by BigBlueOne
Marco Island Travel Guide: 88 reviews and 236 photos
Just had our second trip down to Marco and we did a little bit better this time. We decided that because of the lack of nightlife in Marco we would take a vacation from our vacation and do a 36 hour trip to Key West!
Our first trip to Marco was over the summer of 2006. We decided to head down a little farther than we normally do so that we could check out a section of Florida that we don't normally get to. The master plan was golf, fishing, beaching, and not much else!
- Pros:One of the more laid back places I've ever been.
- Cons:Not much nightlife (only bad if you're not expecting it).

A call about a missing Noorvik girl was interrupted by a local man pulling a .20 gauge shot gun on the responding Village Police Officer.
According to troopers, VPO Bobby Itta responded to a disturbance call in Noorvik involving a missing girl. Itta found the girl at the home of Roy Johnson, Jr., 21. Johnson fled the home with a shotgun, wherein Itta gave chase.
During the pursuit, Johnson turned the gun on Itta, at which point Itta stopped chasing him and returned to the girl, reports AST Spokeswoman Megan Peters.
Johnson was not immediately located, but Kotzebue troopers obtained an arrest warrant charging Johnson with Assault III and Misconduct Involving a Weapon IV, as reports say alcohol was involved.
Johnson was found and arrested without incident, and transported to the Kotzebue Regional Jail. Bail is set at $15,000.

Hoofing it seems to catch the box out every time and it hesitates for a second or two before it decides what to do. Once it picks up its skirts it does shift nicely, but with a rather agricultural diesel sound.
Interior is roomy and quite nice although the "alu" trim on the centre console is a big letdown. It looks and feels very cheap. As with most modern cars the visibility rearwards is seriously compromised and the clever open top or both boot is quite heavy to operate.
There is more road noise than I would have expected, but that is most likely down to the studded tyres.
Heated seats are quite nice when the outside temperature is mainly in the negative (best today +1, worst -7).
Plenty of toys with leccy everything, keyless start and the option of telling the auto 'box what gear I want (to a degree. It would not let me upshift going up a steep hill).
So far I have had no indication that it is a 4x4, but I am glad we got something big. The roads are generally narrow and the jacked up fullsize SUVs and trucks coming the other way are slightly less intimidating when you can see the driver.
More to come. You know you've left the comfort of SE England when you see a Merc 4x4 LWB Sprinter minibus with raised suspension and snorkel

I like these.
Fords shouldnt really be sneered at as much as they are.
I enjoy sneering at Fords
I like the Kuga. Preferred the pre-facelift version because it was a bit more confident; it's now a bit blingy but softer looking.
Still wouldn't buy a Ford because they depreciate too much.

Welcome to Windows 8! Friday was a huge milestone for Microsoft, it's partners and most importantly our customers. Windows 8, Windows 8 devices, and Surface RT are now available at our Microsoft Retail Stores, our 34 NEW Holiday Stores and across our 8,000+ Channel Retailers including Best Buy and Staples.
I was on hand at the launch here in Redmond and had a chance to stop by the Microsoft store to see the lines of people waiting to buy Windows 8 and Windows Surface RT devices. It was incredible! Here are a few pics. It was fun to walk up and down the lines to show people the new Surface RT devices and get them excited about Windows 8.
Windows 8 is a revolutionary experience, with a beautiful and innovative interface that keeps you updated at a glance. I have been running this modern ui myself for almost a year and can't imagine being without it. Each tile on the Start screen is connected to a person, app, website, playlist, or whatever else is important to you. Tiles light up with the latest info, so you're instantly up to date. With new things like the Start screen, charms, and a Microsoft account, you can spend less time searching and more time doing. And then there's the Windows Store, a completely new marketplace for apps. Windows 8 and Windows RT give you access to the Windows Store, where you can discover a new world of apps for your PC. Just tap or click the Store tile and start exploring. So explore and load up on apps—the more you have, the more you can do.
And the Windows 8 devices are amazing. Windows 8 and Windows RT are focused on your life—your friends and family, your apps, and your stuff. With radically updated designs, more raw processing power, touch-enabled displays, and startup times of less than ten seconds in many cases, it's a brand new era for PCs. Whether it's Windows Surface RT or one of the many Windows 8 devices from our partners, there are options for everyone. Here's a great CNET article that overviews all of the devices launching this week. Windows 8, combined with these amazing devices is designed to stay with us both at work and at play, they are powerful and portable, and help us do more.
I encourage you to view the Windows 8 website to find out more! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Watch the Windows 8 commercials and share them with your friends! BUY a Surface or Windows 8 device and find out for yourself how Windows 8 will help you have more fun, be more productive, and unlock new possibilities.

Constitution (also known as Build and is shown as Con in game) in Fire Emblem is a representation of how big a character/unit is. Constitution is also affected by characters that usually have Mounts (Pegasus Knights, Cavaliers, etc.). Constitution determines which weapons units can carry without suffering a penalty to their Attack Speed in battle, as well as which other units they can rescue and capture.
Similar to Movement, this stat only increases with the use of an item or through class change. The items Body Ring and Statue Frag can increase the Con stat by 2, just as the Boots and the Talisman increase Movement and Resistance by 2 respectively.
Constitution and Attack SpeedEdit
In the Gameboy Advance Fire Emblem games, Attack Speed is determined by taking the unit's Con and subtracting the weight of the weapon equipped. Negative numbers result in a penalty to Speed for the unit. It should be noted that positive numbers do not result in a bonus to attack speed.
Nino's Con is 3. The weight of a Fire tome is 4. Therefore Nino's Con (3) subtracted by Fire's weight (4) yields a result of -1. This in turns means that when Nino enters combat, she will suffer a penalty of 1 Speed.
- Note that Attack Speed penalties do not result in permanent subtraction from a character's stats.
In modern Fire Emblem games such as Path of Radiance, Strength is used in place of Con for calculating Attack Speed.
Rescue Stat - Mounted vs. Nonmounted UnitsEdit
In the case of nonmounted units, the Rescue, or Aid, stat is directly proportional to the Constitution of the unit in question. As the unit's Con rises, so does their Aid. This allows the unit to rescue heavier units. In the case of Mounted units, Aid and Con are inversely proportional. As Con rises, Aid is lowered. The unit loses the ability to rescue heavier units.
For a unit to rescue another, the rescuer's aid must be higher than the rescued unit's Constitution. Because of this large Con is both helpful, and harmful.
Judgement of units' constitution amounts and capsEdit
Usually, the constitution of units is judged based on their gender, class, and sometimes age. For example, units such as myrmidons have low constitutions due to their frail states, so even if they have incredible speed, they may not be able to hit twice against an enemy unit if they wield a heavy sword like an Iron Blade. Alternatively, units such as Fighters have high constitutions, as they have a thick and muscled state, allowing them to use most axes with ease. Mounts have little effect on a unit's constitution, and only affect rescuing, as it is the rider who wields the weapons, not the mount. Because of that, Pegasus Knights can only fight using Slim Lances without severely inhibiting their high speed. In the GBA series, non-mounted units have a max constitution of 20, while mounted units have a max constitution of 25. Note that it is only possible to reach these caps by either excessive uses of Body Rings (causing massive amounts of gold to be paid at Secret Shops), or by using cheats on a unit's stats.

Here is the plot:
My beauty is a late 2011 MBP with OSX 10.7.5 running the whole show ! Until i had been using Netgear Wireless G Router, everything had been just great. Multiple devices were able to access the internet without a flaw. I made an upgrade to CISCO Linksys E2000 and ever since came the problems.
Problem 1: Whenever the Macbook Pro enters the wireless network with specifically multiple tabs on Safari browser, the Internet in my Network crashes. Yes. The LAN seems to be OK. Lights on my router are normal and my local file sharing is uninterrupted, ipad still streaming videos on vlc from my PC, etc. Its just that any of these devices are not able to connect to the Internet. The situation lasts for almost a min. or so and then it gets back to normal. This happens several times a day, sometimes even with single tab on the browser. I am hopeless :-(
Problem 2: After immense Googling, I saw somebody suggesing to try Google DNS 18.104.22.168 to overcome the above problem. It was really worth the try. I have no idea how, but it did resolve my issue. As a check, I tried reverting back to my ISP DSN and problem is confirmed. Though I am happy with the fix, my laptop battery drains very quickly. A steep 50% drop. So without much options, back to my ISP DSN and battery drain issue is fixed. But Problem 1 has started again. :-(
- Does anybody face the same problem?
- What does MAC has to do in freezing the internet? And how is it impacting everybody on the Network?
- Or is it a MAC-incompatible Router? - But LAN is active. So I still doubt if Router is the culprit.
- Any alternatives?
I am from India and I have an Airtel Broadband ISP.
Thanks in Advance for the Help!

Hello and welcome to Love Cloth.
After leaving university I really missed design and illustration and I felt like I needed a creative outlet. I decided to combine those skills with my love for photography and fashion (okay, addiction) and ta-da…LOVE CLOTH was born.
I LOVE cats, burgers, comic-book films, taking photographs, exploring, graphic design, interior design, burgers…did I say burgers?
My wardrobe consists of pinafores, dungarees, stripes, anything silver, smock dresses and lots of denim (I basically like to dress like my five year old self – if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
Love Cloth.

Legal preparations help avoid stress, financial pitfalls during deployment
September 10, 2010
By Michael G. McDonough and Julie C. Remes/
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - A Soldier's loved ones play a key role in pre-deployment support. By getting organized early, Family members and friends can take simple steps to facilitate a Soldier's trip down range and avoid stress later. The key is early preparation - the offices and personnel who help Soldiers prepare to deploy, such as the Legal Assistance Office, cannot always process what may be needed in a short period of time. And court dates cannot always be continued at the last minute.
Record keeping is essential. Keep an organized file of birth certificates, marriage certificates, licenses, social security cards, tax forms, wills, keys, leases, contracts, other personal business paperwork, bank and credit card information, investment information ...... get the picture'
Save everything that might be useful while your Soldier is away and keep it organized for easy access.
Identification cards are important not just for the Soldier but for his entire Family. Soldiers should enroll their Families in DEERS and are able to obtain a special power of attorney so their spouse can replace a lost ID card without the presence of the deployed spouse. Proper ID cards ensure exchange (PX) and commissary privileges for spouses and children and grant access to recreation facilities and important military benefits, such as medical assistance.
Vehicles can also create problems during deployment. Common problems arise concerning payment of vehicle notes and insurance, registration renewal, and state property taxes if your state does not exempt members of the military. Many of these bills can be paid via Internet or by a spouse via a joint checking account.
Finding a trusted mechanic and auto-dealership before deployment will ensure that maintenance concerns are handled while the Soldier is away, instead of being forced into a hiring an unknown later on. Be sure to budget for these types of repairs.
Soldiers should also budget for possible maintenance issues with their home and property. Mortgages, insurance policies, property taxes and repairs can be extremely stressful for Soldiers while on deployment and are best handled by pre-deployment preparation and arrangements.
Make sure insurance plans are in place so that you're not caught in an unexpected fire, flood or hurricane without a financial backup plan. A smart plan is to save up a special nest egg for home or vehicle repairs that insurance companies may not cover. And remember, insurance doesn't usually cover normal repair costs or maintenance costs.
Expensive car and home problems have a way of arising at the least opportune moment, so be sure to budget conservatively well before deployment.
As a last resort, the Legal Assistance Office recommends special powers of attorney for intended purposes. A POA gives someone else (a spouse, relative, close friend) the legal power to act on your behalf when you are not able to act yourself. Creating a POA enables trusted individuals to conduct business for you, such as banking transactions, selling or buying property, or medical decisions. Not all decisions can be handled by a POA and not all businesses will accept them, but they can make many situations easier for a Soldier who is down range and cannot conduct business as usual at home.
It is best to make POAs as specific as possible, so that a Soldier's wishes are known clearly, and the abilities of the person acting on his/her behalf are tailored to those specific intentions.
Remember that Soldiers are still responsible for household expenses, bills, rent, car notes, cell phones, and mortgage payments while deployed and that extra deployment money will not necessarily be a quick-fix to all life's debts and financial obligations. Be sure that well before deploying arrangements are made to pay these obligations.
Pending legal concerns, too, such as children from previous marriages, upcoming court dates, debt problems, foreclosures and will drafting should be handled through the Legal Assistance Office months before your deployment. Because pre-deployment is a such an emotionally taxing experience, it is most advisable to handle all legal issues well before it is time to deploy.
It is best to make important life decisions, such as child guardianship or home financing, when a Soldier's judgment and decision-making capacity is clearest, well before this emotional period sets in.

Norfolk Southern Corp. ( NSC ) reported first quarter 2014 adjusted earnings of $1.17 per share that surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.14 but deteriorated from $1.22 earned in the year-ago quarter.
Total operating revenue was down 2% year over year at $2.7 billion but came in line with Zacks Consensus Estimate. Carloads decreased 1% year over year.
On a year-over-year basis, Coal revenues fell 15% while General Merchandise and Intermodal revenues grew 1.4% and 4.0%, respectively.
Operating income was $667 million, down 3% year over year. Operating expenses remained unchanged year over year at $2 billion, resulting in an operating ratio of 75.2%.
Cash Position
Norfolk exited the first quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1,522 million compared with $1,443 million at year-end 2013. The company had long-term debt (including current portion) of $8,909 million, representing debt-to-capitalization ratio of 73.9%.
Our Analysis
We believe Norfolk is poised to benefit from strong pricing momentum on the back of abundant opportunities within the transportation business sector. Growing market share of its Intermodal segment and an improving Merchandize segment along with recovery in the construction and agriculture market will likely support the company's efforts to generate even better revenues in the coming quarters.
However, we remain concerned about the weak performance of the Coal segment. Further, tightened railroad regulation and competitive pressure from peers like CSX Corp. ( CSX ) remain significant headwinds to the company's growth.
Norfolk Southern currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Other Stocks
Better-ranked stocks in this sector include Kansas City Southern ( KSU ) and Union Pacific Corp. ( UNP ), both carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Numerous assays exist that measure the function of stem cells. In this article, we review in detail the history and future of existing stem cell assays. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are historically the most well studied, but new developments in stem cell research, including the claim of stem cell plasticity, have caused controversies related to technical issues, as well as to semantics. Stem cell research requires proper definitions, and utilization of stem cell assays, especially since research on non-HSCs that lack solid stem cell assays, is rapidly evolving. These emerging fields may benefit from what has been learned from HSC assays: most important, that the true potential of stem cells can only be assessed retrospectively. This also relates to new developments in HSC research, when limiting numbers of in vitro–manipulated stem cells are transplanted. The most conflicting results arise when cells express stem cell characteristics in one assay but not in another. Should we adjust our definition of a stem cell? If so, when do we decide a claim of stem cell activity to be justified? We therefore recommend using multiple stem cell assays, preferably at least one in vivo assay. These assays should measure functionality of the putative stem cell population.

Who Fracked Mitt Romney?
Meet his top energy adviser: billionaire oil tycoon Harold Hamm.
Continental would rather not discuss its role in these growing pains. The company's workers in North Dakota are not allowed to speak with the press, a secretary in the company's Tioga field branch explains as she hands over a card with phone numbers for an Oklahoma PR office. When I turn it over, I realize the card was meant not for reporters, but Continental employees. It counsels against providing the press with "unnecessary elaboration," details on "extent of injuries/fatalities" from accidents, or "statements reflecting fault or blame."
For an uncensored view of the Bakken, I head over to Whispers, a strip club and blackjack house in Williston, an hour to the west. According to the Census Bureau, Williston is the nation's fastest growing "micro area"—its 2011 population was up 16 percent from the 2010 census. One of the owners of Whispers, a rotund man in a Harley shirt, says business was so slow five years ago that he and the bartender would spend most of the night playing cribbage. "Now I look around at the customers, and I don't recognize anybody." He claims Williston's male-to-female ratio is around 120-to-1 nowadays. In any case, the strip club is booming: "They said they will be drilling here for the next 30 years," he says as a dancer across the bar pretends to suffocate a guy with her breasts. "They said when it's all said and done, there will be an oil well here every 1,000 feet. It will look like Odessa, Texas."
Troy, a baby-faced 20-year-old from Oklahoma who's nursing a Bud Light longneck, is the same age as Hamm was when he started the company that became Continental. He hasn't heard of his fellow Oklahoman. Then again, pulling down six figures as a rig worker doesn't leave him much time to scrutinize the Forbes 400 list. "I'm the little guy making good money right now, but I'm still the little guy," Troy says. "I'm working my ass off."
OVER AT THE North Dakota Heritage Center, a popular field trip destination on the leafy grounds of the state Capitol, the fossilized mastodon and stuffed buffaloes have a new neighbor: a shiny 55-gallon drum labeled "Crude Oil." It's part of a permanent oil industry exhibit under construction thanks, in part, to Hamm's recent $1.8 million donation.
The exhibit will inhabit a new Continental Resources-sponsored "Inspiration Gallery." "The more we look at it, the more it kind of relates back to the homestead era," says Claudia Berg, who is coordinating the expansion, as she shows off a fancy scale model. "There's families living in small little trailers and whatnot; they're the same size as what a homestead shack was."
Hamm and his company also have doled out school backpacks with Continental logos, donated $50,000 to the Tioga fire department, and regraded miles of public roads needed to service Continental's wells. A renovated emergency room in the town of Crosby will bear Continental's name. But Hamm's largesse has also raised eyebrows in this fiercely independent state. "He wouldn't be giving that contribution unless he wanted something for it," says Don Morrison, executive director of the Dakota Resource Council, an environmental group representing farmers and ranchers.
Hamm's top political priority here is to reduce North Dakota's 11.5 percent oil tax—fairly high by national standards—which accounted for most of the $50 million Continental reportedly paid in state taxes last year. He has joined forces with Ed Schafer, the state's former GOP governor, who in January 2011—just as the Legislature was debating how to dole out the budget surplus—founded a one-cause advocacy group called Fix the Tax. "If you've had enough about high taxes allowing more spending each year, then join us," Schafer beckons in a YouTube clip. Late last year, he joined Continental's board of directors with a compensation package worth more than $770,000.
IN JULY 2011, Hamm flew to Washington to join Bill Gates and Warren Buffett at a philanthropy conclave organized by the White House. Hamm later told the Wall Street Journal that he had pitched the president on the merits of more drilling, arguing that America has enough oil in the ground to replace what it buys from OPEC. According to Hamm, Obama was unimpressed, stressing instead that the nation's future lies with alternative energy and predicting that battery-powered cars would soon get the equivalent of 130 miles per gallon. "Even if you believed that," he told the Journal, "why would you want to stop oil and gas development? It was pretty disappointing."
Obama is hardly a foe of oil and gas. While opposed to industry tax breaks, he pledged to open more of the Arctic to offshore drilling, gave a nod to fracking in his convention speech, and fast-tracked federal permitting for drilling in the Bakken. Hamm has made a good chunk of his fortune during the Obama presidency. Still, he is justifiably concerned about what comes next. Continental, which has vastly outperformed its rivals in the five years since it went public, has shed more than a fifth of its stock value since February—costing Hamm and his family some $2.5 billion.
The company is now in a bit of a pickle. It can no longer hope to ink sweetheart mineral leases like the ones Hamm snatched up early on, and it faces far higher operating costs than its rivals with conventional drilling operations. Lacking sufficient pipelines, Continental exports much of its Bakken crude by truck and train, which adds as much as 30 percent to its costs. Fixing that, Hamm seems to have concluded, merits a bit of arm-twisting. He has hired political operatives including Mike Cantrell, a veteran of oil industry trade groups, and Blu Hulsey, a former spokesman for one of Big Oil's favorite senators, Oklahoma Republican James Inhofe. And he came out swinging in the media last winter, after the Obama administration announced that it would delay approval of the environmentally controversial Keystone XL pipeline linking Canada's tar sands to Texas' oil refineries. (The pipeline would also carry oil from the Bakken, allowing Hamm to cut his costs substantially.) Asked on CNBC's Squawk Box to comment on the "dirty" reputation of tar sands oil, Hamm brushed off the concerns, insisting that North Dakota needed the pipeline to export "the best-quality oil anywhere."
Hamm is also leading the fight against Obama's proposal to close oil industry tax loopholes. His Domestic Energy Producers Alliance has spent more than $500,000 on lobbying, with the tax issue as its top priority. In written testimony for a June Senate hearing, Hamm claimed that eliminating the subsidies would force his company to cut back production by one-third. "The unintended consequences if we are not careful, by changing these rules, could be devastating," Hamm said. "We could stop this energy renaissance."
Like other fracking tycoons, such as super-PAC high roller Trevor Rees-Jones (read my profile of him here), Hamm has thrown his full weight behind Mitt Romney, speaking out on his behalf and hosting a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser for him in Oklahoma City. (As of September, the fossil fuel industry had given Romney and his super-PAC some $14 million.) In return, the candidate became a full-throated cheerleader for oil and gas interests. "My view is that we don't know what's causing climate change on this planet," Romney said during the primaries. "And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us."
One thing is certain: Whoever is in the Oval Office next year can bank on the Bakken boom. A rig every 1,000 feet and a millionaire every mile might not be that far away. "A lot of people who've had a hard time in our community are now doing very well for themselves," says Nikki Darrington, the wife of a farmer and water-well driller whom I meet at a street festival in Watford City. She cradles her 11-month-old, Gavyn, who has just wowed the festival's baby pageant with his seersucker onesie. "I don't mind the man camps," Darrington adds, but "our roads are crap and our grass is gone. I used to get a wave from every single person, and now I know that they are not going to wave because they are too busy focusing on the street because they know they are going to get run into by a semi. And the bar fights! We've never had stabbings and shootings. With all the good, there comes a lot of bad too."
Just ask the newcomers. "This place is a shithole, and it's a really expensive shithole," says Pepper, a veteran roustabout from Oklahoma who is loading up her car on the crowded gravel lot where she and her husband pay $900 a month just to park their Prowler. They were hoping to save up enough money to open a bar and grill, but not in North Dakota. "Who really wants to move up here?" she adds as her husband drags on a Marlboro Light, his thick denims caked in red dust from a long day servicing oil tanks. "When all these guys are gone—maybe not this year or next year, but 5 years down the road, 10 years if they are lucky—what's going to happen? The economy is going to go right back down where it was."

Theatre Unchained fails to recapture magic of 'Fawlty Towers'
After two series involving 12 priceless episodes of "Fawlty Towers" — one of the great sitcoms of all time — authors John Cleese and Connie Booth called it quits, partly because they were concerned a third series could bring a falloff in quality.
Watching the patchy Theatre Unchained production on Saturday night of three "Fawlty" episodes — "The Germans," "The Kipper and the Corpse" and "Basil the Rat" — I found myself wishing it had followed Cleese and Booth's example. »Read Full Article(2)
