I hope this doesn't mean I'm about to inadvertently enter some sort of snotty avant-punk phase, but I'm really enjoying exploring the work of Glenn Branca these days. A lot of people posit that there would be no Sonic Youth if it wasn't for Branca's impact on the New York-based no-wave music scene in the late '70s and I believe it. The following snippet of Branca and friends (including Thurston Moore) at All Tomorrow's Parties in 2007 is far too brief, but totally mesmerizing.
If I turn into one of those jerks that actually listens to Metal Machine Music or claims their dreams are set to a Philip Glass soundtrack, I will hate myself, I promise, but until then, I'm going to keep trying to decipher what I'm finding so enthralling about this guy. Explore more for yourself over here.

Up until @ 6 months ago, my experiences have been positive. However over the past 6-8 months, I have seen the upkeep of the property drop dramatically. Reserved parking spots are not enforced nor marked clearly, I rarely am able to park in my "reserved" spot. My walkway has had a large chunk of ice for over 2 weeks now (of which I have called about)...the only thing that has been done is to pour a pile of salt on it (but @ over a foot thick, that is not going to help) and finally, because the ice on the roof has not been dealt with both my apartment and my neighbors upstairs are getting water back up into our apartments (my carpet sounds like a sponge)!!

My wife and I lived there for two years...Do not believe anything they promote... You Will REGRET It...It is NOT LUXURY We rented the three bedroom...$1600 per month...the most expensive rent in the area...by far the worse buildings Our utility bill was $250 per month. That is just heat\elec\ac These buildings are so poorly built. In the winter you can stand four feet from a window...and the floor is ICE cold...and the heat is running full blast turn out the lights in the apartment and you can see out through the front door you get a 1 bedroom you get one parking spot...you get a three bedroom you get one parking spot...people always park in your reserverd spot...oak hill will not tow...they also mark your spot only on the ground...so at night or in the winter when there is snow on the ground people cant see the reserved markings... The internet connection is provided by a little local ISP that provides a 3Mbps which is a slow dsl line (roadrunner is 10-15). If you play games online..xbox,ps3,pc...heads up...it will LAGGG, drop you from games...in short the internet sucks and is very very unreliable Garabage trucks come around 6 in the morning and will wake you up... The two hills entering and exiting become icey enough to bobsled on in the winter You can hear everything your neighbors are saying...so they must hear you...there is no privacy Neighbor quality is a crap shoot...I was blocked in twice by greenbush police...responding to calls...oh yeah dont forget the drug and gun sting that occured there...my parents who lived an hour away heard about it and called us... Internet Phone And TV included...hahahaha...we where suckers when we moved in the internet was so bad and slow we paid timewarner to get our own connection....then a year later...the internet service provider wanna be "wifi fee"...by some miracle managed to convince oak hill to offer direct tv.... what a mess... to get tv we had to use direct tv....(customer service sucks)...we wanted to switch back....we couldnt time warner woould not run any more coax lines...... we suffered through it for 3 months...then we move out...THANK GOD!!!! but now... Direct Tv tells us that we owe them $175...for the tv service that was included in our rent...2 months later we are still getting bills.. Oak hill is hiding behind a line in thier lease that says they are not responsible for television and data ... we will see what our lawyer has to say...

If you don't want calls to schedule a mystery shop, don't sign up as a mystery shopper.10/03/2012 6:13PM
Dave N Shaw
yes its the mystery shoppers, called me today too, but after I learned the real deal , it's no deal, it's a total RIP OFF. you go out, drive to the place, shop, drive home, fill out paper work and if it's not perfect don't get paid at all let's talk about if you do get paid though, you drive your car < gas is so cheap, right? > spend your time doing the shop, oh AND YOUR MONEY, then you send in the report immediately, I mean they want their report NOW, within hours, but you get paid next month, hmmm. so my gas money is out of my pocket, the cost of the product is out of my pocket and I get reimbursed and " paid" net month ???? wow they should issue your check as soon as they get their report, that would be fair ..... then the shops they wanted to send me on were like a 20 to 25 minute drive eachway, I had to spend 20 - 25 bucks depending on the store and they were paying on average 6 bucks ...... 6 bucks !!!!!!!!!!! WOW that might cover my gas, what about keeping my money for a month more or less depending on what date you shop, they dont process checks until after the 15th of the month after you shop, then it takes them time to process it, verify it etc etc, then mailing time, so my money could be tied up for 3,4,5 maybe 6 weeks and I " make" 6 bucks, oh, after the cost of gas and wear n tear on my car etc ????? find another sucker this one is way too intelligent to think that's a good deal now 30 bucks a shop plus product reimbursement, take out your gas and that would be a little better than minimum wage when it's all said and done, but meanwhile they still use your money for a month month and a half, that should be cut to a week or less to be refunded to you11/23/2011 9:05PM
Annoyed in AZ
This caller was from a National Shopping Service. I missed the call but I called back and that is how they answered. I just said I misdialed and didn't ask questions.10/20/2010 12:00AM
National Shopping Service. They are totally legit. They're calling to set up some mystery shops with you. I've worked with them before.10/12/2010 12:00AM
Left Lefter
Dazzia Cadden is exactly correct--this number is for the National Shopping Service and they were calling to try to schedule you for a job that day. By the time you call them back to say you are available--they most likely have called someone else and have already scheduled the job since they have lists of people in your area who have indicated they are available on very short notice to do a job for them. If you are looking to work and make a little money, this is a call you should have probably answered.05/28/2010 12:00AM

Bill Hancock's Olympic adventure: Singing in the rain, Star-Spangled Banner style
Bill Hancock, executive director of the College Football Playoff, is an Oklahoman and a man for all seasons. He routinely volunteers at every Olympics and gives friends and colleagues a peek at his adventures with daily email dispatches. Everyone looks forward to them, which is why I post them on the blog, so everyone can get a feel for what's going on around the Olympics.
Tuesday, February 18
(Please excuse the typos and bad writing in this friendly message to family members. They are sweethearts and so will not object to sloppiness. Will hurry. There's too much Olympics to explore.)
Breakfast: Pear chunk, hot ham and cheese sandwich, pork cutlet, carrot salad, toast with tasty strawberry preserves, orange juice, plump sausage, mullet J porridge, cheese, and yummy strawberry yogurt drink.
"More bloody porridge?" said a growly Brit at breakfast. I LIKE the bloody porridge.
Commute from Chistye Prudy to the Main Press Center: 20 minutes by bus. Low clouds; the mountains definitely were hiding.
Volunteer du jour: Masha, 19, green eyes. Lives in Moscow. Could have passed for a 19-year-old from Broken Arrow. She works for Olympic Broadcast Service here. Has never been to America, but would like to. "Everyone in Russia would like to," she said with a giggle.
Lunch: P.B.& J. sandwich (creamy, unfortunately.). Twix. Raisins.
Uh-oh. An American reporter was on a bus that collided with a car today. Nobody was hurt, but traffic was tied up for a few hours. The reporters got off the bus and walked the rest of the way to the Main Press Center. The driver was in a panic.
Daily reminder: it's 10 hours different from Central time. So when it's 10 a.m. in Tuscaloosa, it's 8 p.m. in Sochi.
(Good grief. I've been here several days and have yet to hear Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor. But people don't just stand on street corners whistling great Russian music. Just like a Russian visitor might be might be bummed after being in Oklahoma for a week without hearing "The Farmer and the Cowman.")
Doubleheader in ticketing today: ladies figure skating and men's ice hockey quarterfinals, The events are tomorrow, but we started distributing tickets today. Many visitors to the office. "I'm getting my second wind," one writer said with a smile. "It's amazing what six hours of sleep will do."
Olympic reporters are tough and resourceful. Every American journalist should attend the Olympics. It would make them appreciate life. For inventive Olympic journalists, there's no free food, maybe no Internet, no bus comes to their door. No ESPN, no free beer. It's more than just living with unfinished hotel rooms. There's a spirit of cooperation here, a foxhole-buddy mentality that you don't see back home. Reporters learn to work it out, smile, pitch a small fit only when necessary and stick together.
Weather: Cloudy, rainy. High 52 here at the coastal cluster, low 43. Rain mixed with snow up at the gorgeous Laura Cross-Country Ski and Biathlon Center; high there 38, low 32.
Five graphs of notes from Nicki — "We're losing Valery the Small. Today is his last day because he has to go to Moscow to have surgery on his tooth. He said, 'Sochi doctor, no good.' Our new driver won't be named Valery, so we won't be able to say we're "taking a Valery" when we mean going by car. We'll really miss him.
"I've become the contact with the drivers for our office. The two cars are Volkswagens (something like a Jetta hatchback, I think). We can park them in a parking lot just outside the Main Press Center and get to them really fast. I understand that's unusual for the Olympics. The drivers sit outside our office in some comfy chairs and wait until we need them to drive. We did have a sofa until a couple of days ago, but it disappeared to some other area. :-)
"Bill has definitely overstated my Russian language skills. The drivers do speak some English and understand a lot more. Mostly I speak slowly (in English!) and write things down. We've developed a good communication system (also involving lots of gestures).
"We use the drivers mostly to transport athletes from venues to press conferences or to a few places that have been set up for athletes to spend time with their families. I usually go along to direct the athletes and make sure the drivers understand where we're going. We often transport the hockey players and the other night after the men's game I thought we'd lost some. Peggy and I thought that they were coming out of the big Bolshoy Arena at the Athletes' Entrance, but they came out the Media Entrance, which is halfway around the building. We ran all the way back to the cars, only to see them pull out of the parking lot just before we got there. Luckily, the players found the cars and the drivers took them right to the press conference. Not late and not lost!
"I've become a fan of ice hockey because the players, men and women, are the most polite, pleasant young people you could imagine. They're really cute and just nice! I've now met players from the Winnipeg Jets, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Colorado Avalanche, and the Anaheim Ducks. I didn't tell them that I had never watched a couple of those teams! But now I will. Our women are in the gold medal game, too! I'm a fan."
End of great stuff from Nicki. She's awesome. Everyone loves her.
Golly, you can't even begin to imagine how hard this USOC staff works during these games. It's 18 hours days—day after day after day. I try to get them to smell the roses.
Russia Fact that surely must be true because somebody told me: Russian border is world's longest at 35,910 miles, compared to the US border of 10,900 miles (both including water borders)
Dinner: Salad. Cadbury chocolate.
Umbrellas all day. Jugglers, mimes and singers are gone from the park. Then it became a rainy night near Georgia.
Nicki and I took the bus to the Ice Cub and walked to Olympic Park tonight to watch the medals ceremony. I felt sorry for the Russians because of this silly rain. Maybe 1,000 people stood in the rain to watch the dignified ceremony. The podium is on a giant stage. Tonight it had been pushed back under a large canopy, so the athletes and their presenters could stay reasonably dry.
A grandstand across the way had a roof and was full of people. I assume they're VIPs.
The medal winners were as excited as Christmas. They fist-bumped and did the Tiger Woods arm pump and grinned and hugged each other. The women were beautiful and the men, happy.
Nicki left early for going-away ceremony for Valeriy the Small, the driver who is leaving us. He worked until 10 p.m. and then got on a train to Moscow where he will have surgery for a tumor. He and Nicki were pals.
Anyway, I stood there in the rain, alone among those 1,000 people and heard the Belarus National anthem twice and got to see Jean-Claude Killy present medals. What a hero he was! He's now 70 but looks like he could still win gold.
Then the announcers—one in Russian, one in French, one in English—said "and now the medal ceremony for the ice dance."
And here came Charlie and Meryl and I got to hear the greatest National Anthem, officially completing my Olympic experience. (It ain't the Olympics if you don't hear The Banner at least once). I took off my hat under my umbrella. The emotion, the rain, the Russian fans also under their umbrellas, the Stars and Stripes rising slowly in the night….well, it was awesome. I think the drops of water running down my cheeks were from the rain. Or not.
To have attended the Olympics and have sung along with our National Anthem is to have exited I-35 at Heaven on earth. Singing in the rain never was so much fun. Even Gene Kelly would agree, if he were here.
Olympic Park really wasn't constructed for drainage. There were puddles galore and my running shoes got soaked. I walked for a while under the overhang of the cauldron platform, and dashed to the Iceberg arena to catch the media shuttle. A Russian lady had plastic bags over her shoes. A couple fiddled with a camera under one too-small umbrella. Three little girls danced in a small lake near Fisht Stadium. Everyone was wet. But no one was as happy as I.
We had arranged for Valeriy the Small to attend the Russian hockey game today. He was thrilled beyond believe. They gave him a USA jacket and hat and you'd have thought HE was in Heaven on earth. There were hugs all around and a few tears. Valeriy will think very highly of America for the rest of his life.
Nicki, Peggy and I visited the Krasnador wine bar in Chistye Prudy. The wine was decent, but nothing to write home about. The place was packed with AP reporters when we left. A man from Toronto gave us hints about shopping in Sochi.
What a privilege to be here! Every day is an adventure. Sochi. Hot. Cool. Yours. Da Svidanya for now.

Russia Increasingly Critical of Iran's Nuclear Intentions
Jul 13, 2010
By Sarah Bulley
Russia has begun to take a stronger stance against Iran's nuclear enrichment and urged a quick resolution to the debate over its atomic program. President Dmitry Medvedev over the weekend warned of Russia's increasing wariness over the scope and intentions of continued uranium enrichment. However, despite Russia's calls for a diplomatic resolution and vocal doubts about its true aims, Russia continues to support the construction of Iran's new Bushehr nuclear energy plant.
Although Russia signed on to a fourth round of UN Security Council sanctions against Iran, government officials have always stressed their belief in the peaceful intentions of Iran's program.
Iran's nuclear chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, announced this weekend that Iran had enriched and currently holds more than 20 kilograms of higher-enriched uranium. Iran is still most likely a year away from producing enough fuel on its own to power a research reactor, but they announced their intention to do so by September 2011.
In Moscow, Medvedev said yesterday
"Iran is nearing the possession of the potential which in principle could be used for the creation of a nuclear weapon...Teheran is far from behaving in the best way."
President's Medvedev's remarks come as the most recent example of a fracturing relationship between Iran and Russia. Iran, which has counted on Russian political and economic support for awhile now, was angered by Russia's vote in favor of a fourth round of UN sanctions and reneged offer to sell S-300 air defense missiles to Teheran. At a press conference in Madrid, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki responded to yesterday's comments by saying
"These remarks are false…We are not sure of the motive behind these comments. We are seeking what is our right and will not agree to anything less."
Russia wants to maintain a fine balance with Iran. Supporting its peaceful nuclear development advances Russian economic interests and gains a useful regional ally. Allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons capabilities could negatively impact Moscow's influence with Iran and future trade deals. Its current policy of attempting to strike this balance is beginning to wear, and Medvedev's comments only do more to highlight Russia' growing frustration with Iran. As James Nixey wrote:
Russia does not especially care about or for Iran. And certainly not the current radical leadership. More than once it has spurned Iran's offer of a 'strategic relationship'. It sees Iran as the west often sees Russia: potentially dangerous and unreliable; not least since Iran got close to, but ultimately rejected, a 2006 Kremlin offer to securely enrich or 'reprocess' Tehran's uranium in Russian territory, or, more recently, learnt of a previously undisclosed enrichment facility at Qom.
Despite the extensive ties at working level, there is little trust and much irritation. Russia is frequently, and by turns, angry and disillusioned with Iran.
The opening of the Bushehr plant has been delayed several times, but is scheduled to finally begin full operations this fall. The IAEA has been monitoring the facility, and will continue to do so after it opens. Financially and politically, Russia stands to gain from Bushehr. In addition to the construction of the facility, Russia is also contributing nuclear fuel for it the plant's operations.
There are several explanations for Moscow's increasing criticism of Iran. Warming relations with the U.S. and the potential ratification of New START have pushed Russia and the United States to come together in areas of common strategic interest. Applying more pressure on Iran may also prevent Russia from having to choose between fully supporting Teheran or the U.S. in the future. Criticizing Iran, while also outwardly disapproving of American unilateral sanctions keeps Russia in an awkward middle ground.

Natural image statistics is an important area of research in cognitive sciences and computer vision. Visualization of statistical results can help identify clusters and anomalies as well as analyze deviation, distribution, and correlation. Furthermore, they can provide visual abstractions and symbolism for categorized data. In this paper, we begin our study of visualization of image statistics by considering visual representations of power spectra, which are commonly used to visualize different categories of images. We show that they convey a limited amount of statistical information about image categories and their support for analytical tasks is ineffective. We then introduce several new visual representations, which convey different or more information about image statistics. We apply ANOVA to the image statistics to help select statistically more meaningful measurements in our design process. A task-based user evaluation was carried out to compare the new visual representations with the conventional power spectra plots. Based on the results of the evaluation, we made further improvement of visualizations by introducing composite visual representations of image statistics.

"When we were first honored with the Benkert Award in 2006, Matson and SSA Terminals had just signed a new 'green port' lease agreement with the Port of Long Beach, which involved a commitment to reduce air emissions in port by shutting off our vessel diesel generators and plugging into the local electrical grid, a process called cold ironing," said Ron Forest, senior vice president, operations. "This technology set a new standard for terminal leases in Long Beach. Because the concept of using a dockside electrical infrastructure to power ships while in port was new, the project involved innovative engineering work. By the end of this year, all of Matson's motor ships that call Long Beach will plug in -- making our terminal facility a 100% cold ironing operation, far ahead of the regulations set by the California Air Resources Board.""Matson also has learned through experience about the power of partnerships in developing new processes and technologies that advance marine environmental protection," said Paul Londynsky, vice president, safety, quality and environmental affairs (SQE). "We have a longstanding and successful relationship with the California State Lands Commission in addressing issues related to invasive species and ballast water management. We have also partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard in testing a ballast water treatment system on one of our vessels. The success of that project led to Matson having one of the first ships to receive approval for the testing under the Coast Guard's Shipboard Technology Evaluation Program."

How can I get my child to stay in her booster seat?
I know kids should ride in safety seats until they weigh 80 pounds, but my 7-year-old daughter (who weighs just 49 pounds) is embarrassed about riding in her booster, especially since none of her friends do. What can I do to convince my child to stay in her booster seat?

To the parents that are suggesting that we buy a ton of clothes so that they can layer up, or multiple coats so that they can have the choice of what they are going to wear.... I have this question... who is paying for all of this? I don't know about you guys, but our budget is very limited, and for as fast as the kids grow, it's a miracle that we manage to keep them clothed in the first place. I'd like to know what kind of employement you guys have that you are able to afford to buy mulitples of one necessitiy that they are not going to be able to wear again the next year...cause what ever job you and/or your spouse have....i'd like 2 of.... I agree each child has there own special temperature regulation. And I agree that sometime layers are best. And I also agree that children should have choice. And I also agree that we need to remember who is the adult and who sets the rules. Yes, we need to pick our battles. I don't think that there is any one best way to resolve this issue, it is what is best the families lifestyle, what part of the earth that you live on, and most of all your child.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
It's more about her height than weight. Check if the seat belt fits her correctly without the booster (see carseat.org for guidelines). If she still needs the booster, use a backless one--it doesn't resemble a "baby seat" and would be less embarrassing for her! Then put your foot down, and refuse to take her anywhere unless she is properly secured. Tell her how much you are concerned for her safety, and what would happen in a crash if she wasn't in a booster (again, see carseat.org for info). Happy driving!posted 01/05/2005 by ChefMomB
I hate to say this ,but my son 4 years old , sits in the van seat w/o a booster (he weighs 60 pounds and is as tall as a 7 year old.)The reason that they say for a child past 4years of age is to be in a booster is because the childs body in not big enough for the seat in the vehickel yet. But there are alot of children that are above the tallness and weight that are aloud to be in the seat it self. My child is one of those. But true for your daughter her weight is not heavy enough, but what about her hight? You should really ask the police about that part of the whole thing, maybe they will tell you it is alright or not, my advice is to take her there to find out, and if they say she needs to be in the booster then she will know that the police man said that, and she will be more amp to sit in it with out a struggle.posted 01/05/2005 by Mama Jayne
Ok, here's the way it is. There are rules in place that are for everyone's saftey and there are no exceptions. My father worked for an insurance company for 35 years and he enforced seatbelts and backed it up with gruesome stories of people who didn't wear them. I have always worn one and so have my kids. They sat in car seats and booster seats even before it was the law. I told them the same horror stories my dad told me and told their friends too. My car didn't move until everyone was buckled in and I can assure you I had some people who argued with me over the years. My son in law was convinced you were safe in the back seat and he learned quickly that he didn't argue w/ me. Sadly, he died 2 years ago on New Years Eve when he hit a tree head on. The state patrol told us that the accident my daughter was involved in was the worse accident he had ever seen that someone lived thru and he couldn't believe she actually walked away from it. She literally ripped the front of my marquis in half and the accident happened at 35 mph. My son was in a similar accident, sitting in the backseat. All 3 kids were wearing their belts and walked away w/out injury. My youngest son will be in his carseat until he is tall enough to wear a shoulder strap safely (we had a car that I had to wear a seatbelt adjuster that was made for a child. I'm 5 feet tall and the belt kept hitting me across the neck). Tell your daughter the grim truth, she still needs to wear that belt when she outgrows the carseat, regardless of peer pressure. Some things are worth the argument-- it may save her life someday.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree with the above comments: this is a safety issue and therefore not negotiable. She needs to know that you make the rules when it comes to keeping her safe and she doesn't get a choice. She can have choices on issues that aren't life and death. Good luck.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'd just like to add that peer pressure is a powerful influence in our lives. If she understands the safety issues involved and still doesn't want to be in her booster, start helping her to learn to do what she knows is best even if she is embarrassed. Talk about times you've been embarrassed about things and how you dealt with it. (Or why you wish you had done things differently.) It's true you're the parent, but someday you're not going to be there, so she needs to learn to do what she believes in, even it is a little embarrassing sometimes.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Stop taking her places she wants to go. My children behave in public because they know they won't go if they don't. They also know they can't go anywhere without the proper car seat. If she doesn't want to use it, don't take her anywhere. My 48 pound 7 year old son knows he needs to use a booster because of his size. End of discussion.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Take her to your local police or fire station. Schedule a training session on proper car seat use. They will show you if yours is secured properly for your child. These individuals take their job very seriously. They have seen the worst cases of car crashes. They will also talk to you and your child about the law and what you could expect if you do not comply.posted 01/05/2005 by Valiana
I don't know what your discipline relationship is with your daughter but at her age you can have a conversation with her about the reason why she needs to be in the booster seat. Listen to her tell you what her side is so she feels heard without ridicule or dismissal. Then simply say she has a choice...she can ride in the booster or she cannot go...be sure to do this the first time when you are going someplace she really wants to go and not somewhere undesirable. At 7 she needs to feel some control over her life however since this is a safety issue you have to give her the power to express her feelings but not the choice to be unsafe. By giving the choice to use the seat or not go she is still getting choice just not the choice to be unsafe. It needs to be a rule and it needs to be enforced with love, respect for her person, and with consistency.posted 01/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Take your daughter to a paramedic so they can demonstrate what would happen to her if she were to NOT sit in a booster. (The types of injuries she would receive in an accident, etc...) I had to do this to my daughter (8 years old) to convince her that what I was saying was right. It still doesn't change the fact that she hates riding in a booster, but at least the complaining and attempts to convince me otherwise have stopped.posted 01/05/2005 by Sachi6636

A possessed, devil baby scares the wits out of pedestrians and projectile vomits on the real-life streets of New York in a stunt to promote upcoming horror film 'Devil's Due'.
The animatronic satanic infant rides around hidden from view in a radio-controlled pram, until unsuspecting New Yorkers approach to take a closer look, at which point it lurches up out of the pram and emits a blood-curdling scream.
The real-life action cuts to a scene from the film, with a man in a hospital bed proclaiming, "The anti-Christ is coming," before the title of the movie is revealed.

TECHNOLOGY; Copier-War Casualty Is Back on Its Feet
By CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH
Published: August 2, 1999
Danka Business Systems plans to report financial results this week for the first quarter of its new fiscal year, and revenue will probably be way down, debt high and profit minimal, at best.
But for several weeks now, Danka's top brass have beamed as they anticipated showing those numbers to the world. Who can blame them? Scarcely six months ago, no one was certain that Danka, which is incorporated in Britain but run out of St. Petersburg, Fla., would survive at all.
''We are not declaring premature victory,'' said Larry K. Switzer, Danka's chief executive. ''But we got our hands around the business.''
Any immersion in black ink is a triumph for Danka, the second-largest distributor of copiers, which posted sales of $3.35 billion last year.
Ever since last fall, when Danka's board changed the company's management, plucking Mr. Switzer from Fruit of the Loom and selecting Brian L. Merriman from Toshiba as president, the two men have been cutting, chopping, negotiating and otherwise wrenching Danka back from the brink of bankruptcy.
They talked the company's banks, which were poised to call in loans, into extending more credit. They persuaded the Eastman Kodak Company to let them wriggle out of a contract that forced Danka to buy copiers it could not sell. They got the Xerox Corporation to buy back a lackluster business for servicing older, scattered Xerox machines.
And they squeezed $108 million out of yearly costs. Danka used to have 48 warehouses; it now has 3. It had 45 billing centers; 5 now suffice. The new team sharply cut prices to move older inventory. It eliminated 1,400 jobs, reducing the work force to 17,000, and integrated data systems. It sold Danka's facsimile business, closed its wholesale business and cut out ''a ton of superfluous marketing programs,'' Mr. Merriman said.
Now, they are phasing out products from all but three vendors: Canon, Toshiba and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen A.G. The German company bought Kodak's copier business in March, giving it ownership of the Digisource 9110, the only copier fast enough to rival Xerox's Docutech line.
Danka's operating expenses are still high, as are the double-digit interest rates it is paying on its $1.1 billion debt. A deal to sell its international operations to Schroder Ventures, a British holding company, fell through in June, depriving Danka of cash it needs to service debt. Its sales remain sluggish. And competition keeps getting fiercer as more companies introduce digital copiers.
''We may see more pricing pressures on everyone in the next 12 to 18 months,'' warned Jack L. Kelly, an analyst with Goldman, Sachs.
Still, Danka no longer seems headed for extinction. ''We've seen the last really horrendous quarter,'' said B. Alexander Henderson, an analyst with Prudential Securities Research.
Investors are coming around. Danka's American depository receipts closed on Friday at $11.21875, nowhere near the $51 they traded at two years ago, but well above the $1.75 they had sunk to in October. ''I bought this stock at $4, and I expect to make a lot of money on it,'' said Frank G. Cannata, who edits a copier-industry newsletter and who said he expects Danka A.D.R.'s to top $15 in a year. ''They've made progress in every critical area.''
To fully understand the magnitude of Danka's turnaround, one has to first understand the depths to which the company had sunk.
Danka, which was formed in 1977, immediately began gobbling up other dealers. It, in turn, was purchased by a British holding company in 1986, and Danka's shares began trading in London that year. The A.D.R.'s began trading on Nasdaq in 1992. By last year Danka was an international giant, handling more than 40 copiers from six manufacturers, each with hefty costs for training and spare-parts inventories.
But few Danka dealers carried the entire product line. If a large customer wanted to install one type of equipment in all its branches, Danka could not guarantee service at every location. That problem became critical as more companies moved to digital copiers that could link throughout their networks.
Woes intensified in 1996, when Danka bought Kodak's copier sales operation for $558 million. Danka never consolidated facilities or data systems and was left with huge overhead costs and slow data flows. Culture clashes caused many of the best sales representatives to jump ship.
''Danka's sales force was a street-fighting machine, while Kodak's people were genteel, slow-moving, paternal,'' said Mr. Henderson of Prudential. ''Frustrations were surfacing even as Xerox was introducing its first digital products in 1997.''
Mr. Merriman ruefully agreed. ''The difference in sense of urgency was night and day,'' he said.
Inevitably, sales plummeted. That was no problem for Kodak, since Danka had agreed to buy products whether they sold or not. But the growing gap between what it bought and what it sold pushed Danka to the point of insolvency.
In desperation, Mr. Switzer and Mr. Merriman reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission that Danka might file for bankruptcy. ''We had to shock Kodak and the banks into realizing how serious our situation was,'' Mr. Switzer said. The move worked: in December, Kodak let Danka out of its contract.
Danka has since been helped by fortuitous timing. Both Canon and Toshiba came out with full lines of digital copiers, helping Danka flesh out its scrawny digital product line.

Want to have my little boy late.
I want mine as late as possible (I'm due 4/11 but would prefer to have him at the end of april)...only b/c I want to take off 12 weeks and the end of july be included in that. Otherwise, I will only get 8 weeks off so I can still take vacation. So either late April or early April. But not 4/10... my FIL is sure that's the date it's going to happen and I don't want it to just so I can say I told you so :)
Me + DH 09/03 TR 9/99 - CR 11/01 - LR 04/13 - ^i^ 9/15 - Rainbow due 11/24/16
I am due April 12 but would like to have my baby the first week of April. It is Spring Break that week so it'd be convenient to not have to worry about getting my kids to school. My kids have been anywhere from 4-10 days early so my goal dates are theoretically possible.
DD (9), DD (6), DD (5), DS (3), DD born 4/8/13
I want any day in April except my due date. 4/20 is the worst birthday I can think of! Our anniversary is the 18th and I would far prefer that to the 20th.
I really hope this little one comes late! My first came a week early so I doubt it'll happen, but our anniversary is the 4th, and a good friend of both of ours is getting married the 6th! I'm due the 7th.
They didn't intentionally pick the same weekend I'm due, it's just that all the groom's SILs are pregnant too and they had to work around their due dates rather than mine. Just hope I get to go!!!
Happy wife (24) to my sexy arborist (23) and sahmama to Arden Quinn [Sept 2011] and Thayer August [April 2013], both born gently at home! [my blog]
Chrissy (29) John (31)
DS- Dylan Christopher (5/25/04) DD- Carlie Jean (11/02/07)
Team Green!! Due 4/22/13
We'll be scheduling a c-section, but I know for sure I do NOT want LO born on 4/20 (DH and his siblings were at Columbine at the time of the shooting and it's a rough day in our family) or 4/24 (the day my grandma died and my sister's anniversary with a guy who treats her like crap crap crap). Doc can pick whatever other day he wants.... :)
The most important things in my life call me Mama and Wife!
Holly & Chase - 6/13/09
Hunter Logan - 11/1/06, Ayla Kristeen 4/16/13

Our Opinion: Continuing quest to improve education
News Tribune editorial
Monday, February 20, 2012
The quest to improve education is hardly new and the proposed paths are many, but continued exploration is needed to focus on workable, worthwhile goals.
The conversation was continued last week in the state Senate Education Committee with a discussion that raises important questions. They include: who should be evaluated; what guidelines should be used; and who or what group should create the guidelines and conduct the evaluations?
With regard to who, Sen. Brad Lager, R-Savannah, focuses on teachers with his bill to create uniform guidelines to evaluate educators and their job performance.
He explained today's graduates change careers seven to 10 times and said: "It's a fundamentally different way of educating people — what we're talking about is, how do you educate people to educate themselves?"
His answer and his legislation are designed to provide greater accountability by developing "guidelines for professional improvement plans for teachers and principals."
Fellow Sen. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, believes students must be the focal point.
Any state legislation, she said, should be "looking at what a student knows and what they can do — what the outcomes are."
Lager said his bill doesn't propose specific guidelines "because I want to leave as much of that as possible to the (local) school district."
We question whether the district focus conflicts with Lager's efforts to develop uniform statewide guidelines for Missouri's 522 local public school districts.
Formal education takes place largely at the classroom level, with interaction between a teacher and students.
But education and evaluation are connected; teachers must earn credentials to be employed and students must achieve passing grades to advance.
What is the proper extent of evaluation?
Should it be confined to the district level, the state level or the federal level, manifested in No Child Left Behind or Race to the Top?
Lawmakers and educators have debated, and continue to debate, these questions.
Overall, we favor the concept of local control of local schools. We believe parents and patrons are best equipped to guide elected school board members.
And because education has two components — teaching and learning — we believe any evaluation of education must involve both teachers and students.

Both Peter and Paul call us to submit to governing authorities. In light of that, is revolution ever possible for a Christian, and if so, under what circumstances?

New cameras: the 9 TRUE benefits of upgrading to a better model
After several years of escalating pixel counts many photographers have become accustomed to expecting a big jump with each camera introduction.
Obviously, this sometimes leads to disappointment when there isn't an increase in pixel count, or it's only modest, but there are often far greater benefits to upgrading to a new camera than a larger image.
Naturally the significance of any benefit to upgrading depends upon how recent the camera is that you are moving up from.
For this reason few photographers upgrade to their camera's immediate successor and many wait for at least one for generation to come to market.
In their latest guest blog post, the team at Photoventure take a look at some of the key benefits that new cameras can bring other than a change in pixel count.
SEE MORE: Are you really a dedicated photographer? 12 simple ways to tell
Reasons to upgrade to a new camera: 1. Faster processing
Newer image processors are more powerful and faster than earlier models and this can enable a huge range of improvements to be made both to the shooting experience and image quality.
One of the key things that your likely to notice is that the camera takes less time to start-up, images write more quickly to the memory card and the camera feels more responsive.
SEE MORE: 24 camera features every beginner photographer should memorize
Reasons to upgrade to a new camera: 2. Faster continuous shooting (raw and JPEG)
Having a faster more powerful processing engine usually enables a faster maximum continuous shooting speed, which makes the camera more versatile and better able to photograph moving subjects.
In many cases the burst depth, the number of images that can be shot in one continuous sequence, will also increase giving you a greater chance of catching the action.
Also, you're likely to find that burst speed and depth doesn't just improve for JPEG files, you can shoot more raw files as well.
This means that you'll have more data to work with if your need to edit your sport and action images.
SEE MORE: Canon EOS cameras: 100 things you never knew they could do
Reasons to upgrade to a new camera: 3. Better noise control
While a new camera might have the same pixel count as your existing model, developments in sensor technology mean that it is likely to have larger photosites and/or micro lenses for more efficient light capture.
The ability to capture more light means that the image signal is stronger and this allows better detail resolution and lower noise levels.
Furthermore, the new sensor design may have improved noise suppression so images will be cleaner.
In-camera noise reduction requires the use of complex algorithms.
Having a more powerful processing engine means that these can be made more effective and applied quicker.
All things considered, you can expect to see more detail and/or less noise in images from a newer camera.
Reasons to upgrade to a new camera: 4. Better screen
The standard size for an SLR or CSC screen has been 3-inches for a while now. If your camera's is smaller you will notice a big difference.
Screen dot-counts have also gone up with 920,000 being commonplace and 1,040,000 becoming popular.
More dots means a sharper, clearer image — which is better for reviewing images as well as when composing images on-screen in live view mode.
Live view mode is especially useful when you're focusing manually because you can see a magnified image of the most important part of the scene and focus on it.
The more detail this is shown with, the better as it will make it easier to see when the subject is sharp.
Some manufacturers are now putting tilting or vari-angle screens on their cameras.
These are especially useful for composing shots (stills or video) from awkward angles.
Anyone who has a smartphone will know how helpful a touchscreen can be and these are starting to appear on more SLRs and CSCs.
They can really speed up setting AF point, changing settings, navigating menus and scrolling through images.

Elizabeth Smart's Kidnapper Gets Life in Prison
"You will never affect me again."
David Brian Mitchell, the man who kidnapped and held Elizabeth Smart captive for nine months in 2002, received two life sentences for the crime. While captive, Smart was forced to live in a pseudo-polygamous marriage with Mitchell and his wife Wanda Barzee, and was repeatedly raped by Mitchell. During the hearing, Smart spoke directly to her former captor. "I don't have very much to say to you. I know exactly what you did," she said. "I know that you know that what you did was wrong. You did it with full knowledge ... but I have a wonderful life now and no matter what you do, you will never affect me again." Outside the courtroom, after the sentence was handed down, Smart said the day was "the ending of a very long chapter and the beginning of a very beautiful chapter for me."
