Oh my ~ this book sounds divine! Thanks so much for sharing the photos and the clips. Your table is just gorgeous, as usual! LOVE the Chocolate plates ~ I'm not a candy person, can you believe that? Honestly, I could go the rest of my life and never even think of it. I wish that cakes, pies, cookies, etc. were the same!
Have a beautiful, chocolate filled rest of the week.

I just read a book review on another blog about this book. Love your tablescape to go along with it and, I love the chocolate plates. Just wondering if those are my Ethel M's -- there is a possibility that I might be up your way this weekend, but the question is will there be any Ethel M's left? I do not store chocolate, but I should! It sure is a comfort food! Joni

What a lovely, deliciously written post.
How beautiful your tablescape is!
This reads like a fairytale that I'd love to live in. Who knew chocolate bars could be so glamorous? My Mom is 82 and has lived many years eating a fat free diet. She has recently cast that aside and brags of eating a large Hersey bar almost every day. It has become her daily joy. Go Mom!!

Jacqueline, I'm so happy to see your post a review for CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE. Beautiful from start to finish. Love, love, love those script plates. Something about pink and brown combo that makes my heart sing. I don't think I'll ever see a Hershey bar without thinking about Mrs. Park. Loved reading this book! ~ Sarah

Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!!!!! I admit to not eating chocolate, but I do love the smell SO much!!! It's one of those fragrances that just makes you melt....in your mouth, not in your hand! :-) This is such a pretty table setting, and the chocolate plates are super!!!!!!!! I wonder if they make plates like that that say "macaroni & cheese"? ;-) I love your glassware, too! The color is just perfect...looks absolutely pink in this instance!

I will wait till after Lent, though, or I will be eating chocolate with every chapter!
I just finished Grisham's The Litigator, and The Help. My eyeballs are bleary. Now I am starting Jan Karon's Home in the Hills. I loved her Mitford series. Blogging definitely cuts into reading!

THANK YOU FOR VISITING and commenting on my dear husband's smile. I have always loved his smile so much and how he gets crow feet on his eyes when he smiles. Oh, if I had a son, I would have wanted him to look just like his dad. Oh well......

Editor's note: The video of the incident can be viewed here while video of today's press conference can be seen here
Updated at 6:32 a.m. April 24
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said a deputy, who responded to a neighborhood dispute and was recorded on video, was �very zealous in her action� and will receive additional training.
During a Wednesday press conference, Brown handed out a prepared statement defining Deputy Natalie Barber as a �fine deputy� who was recently released from the 16-week Sheriff�s Office Training Program to work without direct supervision. She is a military veteran and is a certified law enforcement officer by the state of North Carolina.
Brown said in the statement he viewed the video recording of the incident, made by the Carlos Jaramillo and members of his family, in which Barber handcuffed Jaramillo.
�I agree that Deputy Barber was very zealous in her action toward the complainant and she is gratefully sorrowful for that,� Brown�s statement read, noting that Jaramillo was passive and did not display forceful resistance and Barber raised her voice and handcuffed Jaramillo.
In his statement, Brown says Barber �did raise her voice and handcuff the complainant, which I contend was not in order, but Deputy Barber never once pushed, snatched, assaulted or showed any other forceful acts of aggression toward the complainant.�
Barber was called to Jaramillo�s home at 6:53 p.m. April 19 due to a complaint from Jaramillo�s neighbor concerning their dogs not interacting well with each other.
In the narrative of the official report from the Sheriff�s Office, Barber describes Jaramillo as �getting angry� after she asked to see his driver�s license.
�He handed me a veterans identification card, saying that he is not operating a vehicle and does not have to provide me with his driver�s license,� Barber wrote.
Barber said it was during this time when Carlos pulled out his cell phone and began recording the exchange.
�I told Carlos that I just need an ID for the report and he just kept asking me question after question about North Carolina laws, so I asked Loretta for her ID instead.�
Jaramillo then became aggressive, wrote Barber, shouting at his family and bringing his son, John Garcia, into the situation to also begin recording. Barber then took Jaramillo�s cell phone out of his hand and placed him in handcuffs. When Garcia continued recording the commotion, Barber narrates that she grabbed his cell phone out of his hands and told Jaramillo to sit handcuffed in her car until she was done handling the situation.
Jaramillo told The Daily News Wednesday that his son suffered an injury to his hand during the exchange with Barber and was advised by responding emergency service personnel to receive an X-ray. Medical results showed Garcia did not suffer any fractures, but did have swelling, contusions and limited motion for which he received pain medication, according to Jaramillo.
Page 2 of 2 - �I�ve read the press release,� said Jaramillo. �It said the deputy lost control, but never was it ever addressed about my family�s 4th amendment rights being violated. There was nothing about assaulting a minor or assault on me, nothing about the theft committed by stealing our phones, nothing about kidnapping me and holding me in the back of the police car.�
Jaramillo said he is now concerned as a citizen �that if something was to happen and I needed assistance, who would I call? I have no one to call. What is Onslow County going to do if we can�t rely on our own department to take care of us?�
Jaramillo said he attempted multiple times to contact the sheriff�s department.
Barber, Brown said at the press conference, will be assigned back to one-on-one supervised training for at least another six weeks and he believes, due to her outstanding past performance, her career can be salvaged.
Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown says that a deputy recorded while responding to residents recently was "very zealous in her action."
Brown, during a Wednesday morning press conference, gave reporters a prepared statement in regards to the event.
According to the statement, Deputy Natalie Barber is a "fine deputy" who was recently released from the 16-week Sheriff's Office Training Program to work without direct supervision. She is a military veteran and is a certified law enforcement officer by the state of North Carolina.
"I viewed the video recording of the incident in which Deputy Barber handcuffed the complainant in this case. I agree that Deputy Barber was very zealous in her action toward the complainant and she is gratefully sorrowful for that. The complainant was passive and did not display forceful resistance. Deputy Barber did raise her voice at the complainant and did handcuff him which I contend was not in order, but Deputy Barber never once pushed, snatched, assaulted or showed any other forceful acts of aggression toward the complainant," Brown says in the statement.
The deputy, he said, will be assigned back to one-on-one supervised training for at least another six weeks.
"After speaking with the complainant via telephone and vieweing the video recording of the incident and considering Deputy Barber's outstanding past performance, I believe Deputy Barber's career can be salvaged by assigning her back to direct one-on-one supervised training for at least an additional six-week period, which training will be focused solely on handling civil disputes, laws of arrest, and the scope of authority for law enforcement," he said.

text: FAQ - Men Beauty Tutorials Tips and Techniques Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet FAQ Brows Lashes Face Hands Feet Men Teen I want my hands to look groomed, but I'm not ready for salon visits. Is there anything I can do at home? To help keep your hands in tip top shape, keep them moisturized with alessandro Cream Rich hand cream and use gloves when doing activities that can damage or dry out your hands. The biggest problem for most men are ragged cuticles. It's important to remember the cuticle's purpose – to keep bacteria and other foreign objects from infecting the nail. That said, you should only cut the dry skin that hangs over the nail plate. Do not bite your cuticles and be sure to use the proper tool. A mere fingernail clipper will not suffice; opt for Tweezerman's Hangnail Trimmer instead. Afterwards, moisturize cuticles overnight (to allow the cream to soak in) with alessandro Coco Mango Nail Butter. Do you have any tips on how to achieve a closer, less irritating shave? The best time to shave is after a shower; the hot water opens up pores and softens the hair for a closer shave. If you are using shaving cream and still experience discomfort/razor burn, try lightly rubbing a shaving oil into the skin prior to applying shaving cream to protect your skin and help the razor glide over the skin's surface. Remember to change your razor blade often and shave in the direction of hair growth. If your hair is stubborn, reapply the shaving cream and shave in a sideways motion in small strokes to avoid irritating the skin. A problem area for most men is around the neck. Run your fingers over this area to feel the direction your hairs grow and try to mimic this pattern with your razor. Rinse and pat skin dry. Apply your favorite after shave for a cooling and calming effect. Consider using Tweezerman's Deluxe Shaving Brush for a closer more comfortable shave. My boyfriend tends to get ingrown hairs after shaving. Any advice? Ingrown hairs result when the hair curls backward, penetrates the skin and produces red bumps that can be painful. One method to prevent them is to make sure your face is well hydrated before and during shaving. In addition, an exfoliating scrub containing alpha hydroxyl acids can help slough away dead skin cells, making it easier for the pore to stay open and the hair follicle to pop through. When pores are open, you can use Tweezerman's Ingrown Hair Splintertweeze with surgically sharp elongated points that are specially designed for removing hairs under the skin. My husband has a uni-brow. I think he should tweeze his brows, but he says that's something just women do. What do you suggest? There is no reason to settle for a uni-brow. Having one overemphasizes the forehead and makes the eyes less noticeable and less attractive. If there is a lot of growth, the quickest "fix" is waxing the area when hairs brows come together and then using Tweezerman's Slant Tweezer to maintain the look. If waxing is not "his thing" the Slant Tweezer will work well for the initial process. For best results, tweeze only one hair at a time in the direction of hair growth being careful to check your brows as you go so that you don't tweeze too much. The brow should begin right above the inside corner of the eye. My friend has noticeable nose hairs and wants to tweeze them out. Is that OK? No! Never tweeze nose hairs. This is a very dangerous and can lead to serious infection. Nevertheless, nose hairs and ear hairs are unsightly and trimming them so they are no longer visible is a good idea. Tweezerman has a number of products specially designed for this task. Check out the Deluxe Trimmer that painlessly removes nose hairs with rotating, recessed blades that never come in contact with the skin, or our Facial Hair Scissors with a safety tip and blades that curve away from the skin.

|FSA annual acreage report due July 15
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
In order to meet Farm Service Agency program eligibility requirements, USDA state executive director Leland Swenson reminds producers to submit their annual report of acreage to their local FSA county office by July 15.
"Producers must file their reports accurately and timely for all crops and land uses, including prevented and failed acreage, to ensure they receive the maximum FSA program benefits possible," said Swenson.
Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for all USDA Farm Service Agencies programs.
Acreage reports are considered "timely filed" when completed by the applicable final crop reporting deadline, which may vary from state to state. Prevented acreage must be reported within 15 calendar days after the final planting date. Failed acreage must be reported before the disposition of the crop. Producers should contact their county FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines.
Late-filed provisions may be available for producers who are unable to meet the reporting deadline as required. Reports filed after the established deadline must meet certain requirements to be accepted, and producers may be charged late fees.
Producers should visit their county FSA office to complete acreage reporting. For questions on this or any FSA program, including specific crop reporting deadlines and planting dates, producers should contact their county FSA office. More information on FSA programs is at www.fsa.usda.gov.

I enabled some zimlets in zimlets-extra that I thought would be useful to our users.
After testing each one in turn, I added preview, survey and support tool to tray them out, not it appears that zimlet functionality is broken.
I undeployed and disabled most of the zimlets that I added, but they still appear in the list. In the zimlets sidebar, zimlet names appear as garbage:
Is there anyway I can easily reset my zimlet config without screwing up the LDAP?

May 30, 2016
Another candidate has thrown his hat into the ring for Meridian City Council, creating another crowded race.
Albert Emerson announced Monday at Bonita Lakes Park that he's running for the Ward 5 seat, currently held by Republican Bobby Smith.
Emerson, a fire investigator and a Democrat, says he's running simply because the city needs new blood.
"I'm running because the city of Meridian needs a change; we need a new direction," Emerson said. "I've heard a great definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. We've done the same thing for so many years. Meridian is a jewel in the south. If we don't make some changes, we will no longer be a jewel."
Emerson is the fourth person to announce his intentions to run in Ward 5.
Emerson and former councilman, John C. Harris, meet in the Democratic Primary. Smith faces fellow Republican Randy Hammon the GOP Primary.

Management Update: ABF, Teamsters may re-open talks.
April 01, 2010
The Teamsters Union said last month that it's looking into establishing a dialogue with ABF Freight System Inc., a less-than-truckload subsidiary of Arkansas Best System, to renegotiate ABF's labor agreement, the National Master Freight Agreement. Teamster officials said that they have not entered discussions with ABF; but based on its current understanding of the industry, the company's financial position, and concerns from ABF Teamster members, they stated that "it's in our best long-term interest to fully engage ABF through formal discussions to determine what type of contractual relief may be necessary." An ABF official told LM that the company is pleased that the Teamsters Union recognized the need for potential discussions.

Hit author Tom Clancy has died at the age of 66.
The writer, who penned classic thrillers including "Patriot Games" and "The Hunt for Red October," passed away on Tuesday at a hospital in his native Baltimore.
"Patriot Games," "Clear and Present Danger" and "The Hunt for Red October" were among Clancy's books that were successfully transformed into hit movies.
Many of his books featured the fictional character of Jack Ryan, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative who was later brought to life on the big screen by actors including Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Alec Baldwin.
The plots of many Clancy novels were also used as the basis for hit computer games, and he also penned several non-fiction military books, including 1993's Submarine: A Guided Tour Inside a Nuclear Warship and Carrier: A Guided Tour of an Aircraft Carrier in 1999.
His next book, "Command Authority," was expected to be released later this year.

Hathaway has had plenty of opportunities to perfect her acceptance speech, picking up nearly every trophy along the lengthy awards trail.

For Your Consideration: Les Miserables Is The Big, Emotional Film That Deserves Best Picture
Les Miserables is the kind of musical that drives non-fans batty, but if you're watching this movie wondering why people are singing everything, you're genuinely missing the point. Musicals express feelings in a way spoken word simply can't, and this version of Les Miserables understands how to drill to the very root of those feelings, in ways nothing onstage really can.

How The Les Miserables Cast Bonded: Singalongs At Russell Crowe's House
It's hard to tell if Anne Hathaway is joking when she says she wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate her experience on Les Miserables. The inspiration struck when the cast was at a Q&A for a screening on Manhattan's 6th Avenue, where there's about four tattoo parlors per block-- co-star Eddie Redmayne joked that Hugh Jackman could have been tattooed with Jean Valjean's 24601, and then the rest of the cast down the line: "24601, 24602."

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - With one George still on the mend,
Indiana's other George continued to keep the Pacers rolling, as Paul George
recorded 29 points and 14 rebounds in an 89-81 victory over the Washington
Despite George Hill sitting out a second straight game due to a strained right
groin, the Pacers led wire-to-wire Wednesday to win their sixth straight home
game and ninth straight over the lowly Wizards.
D.J. Augustin, starting in place of Hill, totaled 18 points and six assists,
while Roy Hibbert added 13 points in Indiana's sixth victory in seven games.
The Wizards, playing the second game of a back-to-back, tried rallying from an
early 17-point deficit but never got over the hump in losing for the 11th time
in 12 games. Jordan Crawford netted a team-high 20 points in defeat.

WASHINGTON,DC (WUSA) --- The Washington, D.C. chapter president of the Community Association for Firearms Education, George Lyon is watching the Obama Administration's plans to control gun violence with both skepticism and interest. Lyon was the plaintiff in the 2008 case that won the right of D.C. residents to have firearms in their homes.
"What I would like to see is some provision to provide real protection for children in public and private schools, armed guards would be a good idea. Beefing up police who patrol schools, they call them school resource officers.
"Another good idea: training of staff in how to deal with an active shooter situation or a lethal force situation. More importantly, I would like to see a program where teachers and administrators who volunteer, who go through the appropriate training, are allowed access to a firearm in the event of an active shooting situation, so that they can stand as a last line of defense of the defenseless children," Lyon told 9News Now.
"One of the problems with having one armed security guard, he then becomes the first target of an active shooter or terrorist. If the active shooter or terrorist doesn't know who has the gun then it is a deterrent effect, and the likelihood of an incident happening can be greatly reduced," Lyon said.
Lyon does not believe a ban on assault weapons would prove to be effective.
"We had a so-called assault weapons ban for 10 years. It had been studied to death, and the result of those studies was that it had no effect on crime so, essentially, this is an emotional response," he said.
The plan to limit ammunition magazines to only 10 bullets, he believes, is ill-considered.
"This is a terrible idea. The popular culture would tell you a bad guy gets shot once and falls down and dies. Well, not really. True, people have been shot 10, 15, 20 times and still remain in the fight, " he said.
"The situation where you are facing multiple opponents, if you've got only 10 rounds in the magazine and you've got two or three opponents, you had better be a damn good shot, and you had better hope that your hit placement is perfect, because the odds are you're going to die," Lyon said.
"It appears the Obama-Biden proposal will focus on rifles. I think it's important to understand that more people are killed with fists, with feet, with knives, with baseball bats, than with rifles. Approximately three to four hundred were murdered last year with rifles.
"That's minuscule compared to the number of people who were murdered with handguns. It's even more minuscule than the number of people killed by medical malpractice or killed by drunk drivers. You don't propose to outlaw cars because of drink driving. You should not propose to outlaw guns and their use by good guys because a few people misuse guns to horrible result," Lyon said.

I'd suggest creating one relatively small map showing the distances and relations between areas. Then a GM can print out the individual locations where battles actually take place and if he's really keen, he can place them an accurate distance apart with a tape measure.
I'm sure that if you created a 280 page pdf that there would be people who would print it, but I think this is a very small minority. I think even the 70 page 10'=1 inch map is pushing it.

Wauwatosa schedules meeting on Waukesha's Lake Michigan water plan
Waukesha officials will discuss a pending application to buy Lake Michigan water and discharge treated wastewater to Underwood Creek at a public information meeting scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. March 22 in the Firefly Room at the Wauwatosa Public Library, 7635 W. North Ave.
Waukesha has proposed distributing about 10.9 million gallons of lake water a day to meet the average daily demand of customers after 2035. The city is seeking lake water as a substitute for radium-contaminated water pumped out of the city's deep sandstone wells.
A Great Lakes protection compact requires a community that diverts water out of the lake's drainage basin to return most of it back to the lake as treated wastewater.
The city's draft application recommends discharging Waukesha's treated wastewater to Underwood Creek at W. Blue Mound Road. The creek flows through Wauwatosa to its confluence with the Menomonee River.
Waukesha's wastewater would not degrade the stream's water quality or spur algae growth, according to a consultant hired by the city.» Read Full Article

Wauwatosa West girls track and field coach Jack LoPresti collects conference championships like some people collect baseball cards. When his Trojans won the Woodland Conference Outdoor on May 17 at New Berlin West, it was their 23rd conference title since 2005.

"It was an amazing team effort — the girls scored over 150 points — just a tremendous job in so many events," LoPresti said. "A real tribute to all the girls and our coaching staff. I feel lucky to work with such a group of coaches and athletes everyday."
Mercy Ndon won the 100-meter dash (12.19 seconds), followed by Cheri'A Adams (12.23) and Azya McLin (12.29), making it a clean sweep of the top spots as all three broke the 100-meter Woodland Outdoor meet record.
"Mercy, Cheri'A, and Azya are an awesome group," LoPresti said. "This year has been fun and we are looking forward to many cool things in the coming weeks. Those three amigos made it look easy in the 200-dash as well, sweeping up the 200, It was very fun to watch."» Read Full Article

Suspects charged in string of armed robberies through Wauwatosa, Milwaukee
Two Milwaukee residents are in custody after police pieced together clues — including fingerprints and shoe prints — that allegedly tied them to a string of armed robberies throughout Wauwatosa and Milwaukee.
Markanthony MC Harris, 17, and Deshireo T. Rivers, 27, have each been charged with six counts of felony armed robbery after they held up a number of businesses and people in early May — including two incidents in Wauwatosa.
If convicted, both face up to $100,000 in fines and 40 years in prison for each charge, according to a criminal complaint.
About the incidents
The first armed robbery occurred at a Pizza Hut in Wauwatosa, around 10:40 p.m. May 4. The two males entered the store, 517 Glenview Ave., and Harris displayed a small handgun and Rivers a semi-automatic pistol, according to the complaint. Rivers demanded an employee to open a safe in the restaurant. The employee told the men the keys for the safe were in his jacket, so Harris ordered the employee to the back of the store to retrieve them. While searching for the keys, Harris touched a pack of cigarettes in the jacket. Police would later recover a fingerprint from the cigarette pack and match it to Harris, according to a criminal complaint.» Read Full Article
New Mayfair GM announces plans for a Z Gallerie furniture store
Merely three weeks into the job, the new general manager at Wauwatosa's Mayfair mall has unveiled plans for furniture store Z Gallerie to open in fall 2016.
"It's very exciting," said Chris Jaeger, who stepped into his new role April 20. "I think it's just a great fit for the market."
Plans to bring in the furniture and home furnishing chain is a deal Jaeger described as "hot off the press." The store will be situated on the west side of the mall, 2500 N. Mayfair Road, replacing the former Applebee's and Paciugo Gelato in a more than 8,000-square-foot space.
"I think it's going to be a great fit for the market," Jaeger said. The Wauwatosa location would mark the first Z Gallerie store in Wisconsin.
Jaeger credited his surrounding team for much of the work of bringing the store into Mayfair. While there could be more new stores in the works, the Z Gallerie announcement marks the first snag for Jaeger, who has worked at six malls throughout the Midwest in a 10-year period, he said.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa East baseball team will rely on defense, depth in 2016
Wauwatosa East baseball coach Brian Karas has 11 letter winners, including four three-year players.
"This team and coaching staff couldn't be more excited for the 2016 season to get underway," Karas said. "This is our most experienced team that we've had in a long time, featuring eight seniors, six juniors and a sophomore."
Seniors Dan Scallon (center field), Jake Halstead (second/third base) and Spencer Michaelis (pitcher/shortstop) and junior Aaron Plaisted (pitcher/first/outfield) are the three-year varsity players. Here's a closer look.
Scallon was second on the team in extra base hits with five, led the team in stolen bases 13-for-13 and was an honorable mention all-conference outfielder last year. Halstead is "a very fluent hitter" who hasn't caught a lot of breaks. He has the potential to have a breakout season.
Michaelis was plagued by back issues all of last season and wasn't able to pitch or hit comfortably the entire season. He's back to being fully healthy this season, and Karas has high expectations that he'll show other teams what they've been missing.» Read Full Article
Wauwatosa East softball teams beats West Allis Central in twinbill
Wauwatosa East started the week with a doubleheader win over West Allis Central at home, including the first no-hitter of her prep career by Analiese Glawe.
East won the opener, 15-5, in the first game, and then Glawe threw her no-hitter in the 17-0 nightcap. It was the third no-hitter in school history. In addition to Glawe's personal achievement, the team had many other stars over the two games.
Morgan Schmanske went 6-for-8, with two doubles and eight RBIs over the two games. In addition, Cora Bilitz went 4-for-6 with two doubles and five RBIs, and Natalie Yahn was 5-for-8 while scoring six runs.
In the first game with the Raiders leading, 4-3, they scored four runs in the fourth and five in the fifth to take a 13-3 lead. Both teams scored twice in the fifth inning to end the scoring and the game.
"Analiese threw a no-hitter despite the 'floating' strike zone," coach Ed Raue said. "Look at the walks, and you would think she had no control, but that was not the case. She threw strikes and overpowered them. Analiese was saved in the first inning by a great running catch by right fielder Angie Mitten in center field."» Read Full Article

Wauwatosa East girls soccer team crushes West Allis Central, 11-0
The Wauwatosa East girls soccer team went 1-0-1 last week, winning the Greater Metro Conference match and tying a nonconference foe.
The Red Raiders stretched their winning streak to three games last week, defeating West Allis Central, 11-0, on the road.
Senior captain Catherine Carter started the scoring in the fifth minute on a penalty kick after senior Chyna Sincere had drawn a foul inside the Bulldog penalty area. One minute later, Sincere assisted on the Raiders' second goal by sophomore Elyse Reagan.
In the same minute of play, sophomore Liz Bueckers scored her seventh goal of the season off an assist from sophomore Evan Knauss to make the score, 3-0, six minutes into the match.
"It's important to come out and assert yourself against a team that struggles to generate offense," coach Eric Dale said. "You want to send an early message that you're not going to sit back and relax but get down to business right away, and that seemed to be the key for us Wednesday night."» Read Full Article

Air cargo picture brightens
IATA is an international trade body, created over 60 years ago by a group of airlines. Today, IATA represents some 230 airlines comprising 93% of scheduled international air traffic.
September 22, 2010
The air cargo industry has made unexpected gains in recent months, but analysts are not predicting that the trend will continue into 2011.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) revised its 2010 industry outlook and is now projecting a profit of $8.9 billion (up from the $2.5 billion forecast in June). In its first look into 2011, the Association estimates that profitability will drop to $5.3 billion.
"The industry recovery has been stronger and faster than anyone predicted," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's Director General and CEO in Geneva. "The $8.9 billion profit that we are projecting will start to recoup the nearly $50 billion lost over the previous decade."
This observation was mirrored in comments made earlier this week at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, where supply chain software developers said 2010 promises to be a better year for everyone in the global logistics industry.
In his address on key trends in logistics, James Taylor, vice president of software applications maker, CSC, noted that a rebound was in order.
And according to IATA, Asia-Pacific carriers are expected to post a $5.2 billion profit.
This is better than the $3 billion recorded during the previous peak in 2007 and double the previously forecasted $2.2 billion. The strong improvement is based on strong market growth and yield gains. Renewed buoyancy in air freight markets has been particularly important for airlines in this region, where it can represent up to 40 percent of revenues. The 23.5 percent improvement in high volume intra-Asia premium traffic reflects another significant trend.
"But a reality check is in order," cautioned Bisignani. "There are lingering doubts about how long this cyclical upturn will last. Even if it is sustainable, the profit margins that we operate on are so razor thin that even increasing profits 3.5 times only generates a 1.6 percent margin. This is below the 2.5 percent margin of the previous cycle peak in 2007 and far below what it would take just to cover our cost of capital."

Spring Training Highlighted with Denny HOF Announcement
Blog Note — The following posting comes from Toby Cook, Royals VP-Community Affairs & Publicity. Toby spent the last couple of days at the Royals Spring Training facility in Surprise, Ariz. He credits Denny Matthews with inspiring him to pursue a career in broadcasting, which ended 20 years later when Toby joined the Royals front office.
The Voice of the Royals, Denny Matthews, probably knew his phone would ring off the hook Thursday afternoon. That's okay. At least he wouldn't have a ton of voicemails to return.
You see, Denny — who's been in the Royals broadcast booth since the beginning of the franchise — doesn't have one of those fancy call-waiting/straight-to-voicemail set-ups at his home. If he's on the line, you get a busy signal. You have to keep trying. And a whole lot of people from around the sports world tried to call him Thursday.
Word spread quickly that Denny, a simple, unpretentious man with little use for technology, had been awarded the Ford C. Frick Award and will be honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies in Cooperstown, N.Y., this July. He's one of only a handful of play-by-play guys to call games for an organization since its inception.
I finally got through on Denny's line about 4:45 p.m. Arizona time Thursday to congratulate him. I've known Denny for only a few years and have worked with him for just six months. But like many folks my age, he's the reason I'm a Royals lifer.
(Denny highlight, Oct. 1985: "No outs to go! And the Royals have won the 1985 World Series!")
I came to Surprise Wednesday night for my first Spring Training trip after joining the organization last August. It was exciting to see the facility, meet up with coaches and players I hadn't seen since that beautiful sweep of the Detroit Tigers the last series of 2006, and watch Alex Gordon field grounders. But the highlight of the day was an e-mail from back home, alerting all Royals associates about Denny's news.
It doesn't come as a shock that Denny will be honored, and remembered, in Cooperstown. If Hall of Famer George Brett is the face of the Royals franchise, Denny's the voice — the voice that created a few generations of fans with all those pitches, all those innings, all those games.
Seeing the first full-squad warm-up at the Royals' Surprise complex is a thrilling way to gear up for a new season, this one with more hope than in recent years. It's wonderful for me to realize the memory of my first trip to spring training will be dominated by the news that the guy who brought us so many memories of the Royals' past will be remembered as one of the greats.
Many of us already considered him that. Maybe this team can give him another last-inning of the World Series to call as a tribute.

Take advantage of this great opportunity to share your experiences with your peers, get feedback from the most influential industry experts and promote your organization by submitting an abstract to speak at Pulse 2010.
Accepted client speakers will have high profile exposure to over 5,000 industry experts, press and analysts. Approved client submissions will receive a full conference pass ($1,995 value) and admission to our on-site VIP client lounge. In addition, to your paper may be published in the Pulse 2010 proceedings.
I talked with Pete Marshall, the lead for the Pulse 2010 Hot Topics track, and he offered the following insights and suggestions on how to submit a winning proposal.
One definition of a hot topic, is something not covered at last years conference and something that might not be covered next year. We're looking for breaking trends—a snapshot of the industry and challenges service management professionals are facing right now. Themes like cloud computing, or serving the real-time web are good examples. Security is a perennial issue that always presents new challenges: it's a hot topic every year, but every year there's something different at the forefront. Things in our industry keep evolving and in the Hot Topics track, we want to look at and share information and experiences about what is really happening in the bleeding edge of service management. Some possible topics include:
- Integrated Service Management
- Smarter Planet
- Dynamic Infrastructure
- Cloud computing
- Security
- Storage
- Process management and integration
The Hot Topics track is aimed at business leaders, decision makers and strategists puzzling over things like how to integrate physical and digital assets, what process models to use, and what are the best approaches to managing in a rapidly changing business and IT environment. Pete said he would encourage anyone working to solve emerging challenges—industry experts who may have a wider purview across the industry and very specialized customers who have done these projects themselves--to submit an abstract so together, we can share best practices, insights and create effective solutions as we move into uncharted territory.
Pete described two key aspects of a winning proposal—relevance and real life experience.
Is the topic relevant to where the industry is today? Is it something new and ground breaking? If the answer to these questions is yes, your abstract is a good candidate for the Hot Topics track. Going back to the security example, an overview of security might not qualify as a hot topic, but some current trend or challenge in the security landscape most certainly would.
While there is always a place for theorizing, in the Hot Topic track, we are looking for people who have been there and done that. We want presenters to share how they have solved or are working to solve a challenge.
The benefits of participating as a speaker are huge. Speaking is a very different dynamic than just listening. Not only will you have the opportunity to share your experience and get feedback from your peers, you will receive a full conference pass and get to experience the conference in a deeper, more involved way.
Please visit the Pulse 2010 call for papers site and submit your proposal today.

In an advance clip from his upcoming episode of VH1's "Behind the Music," T.I. recalls his time behind bars, stating that he had to shift his mindset to prepare for his bid. The clip, one of the several added to the update of his 2009 episode, shows Tip explaining how he predictably wasn't happy in jail.
"I don't think I have to sell the fact that prison sucks," he said. "When you have your liberties and the loves of your life taken away from you, it puts a lot of things in perspective."
His wife, Tameka , said that they were constantly in contact and that her husband couldn't wait to get out of the clink. "We talked every day and he would let me know 'I got so and so many days' and he was counting down," she said. "I guess that he felt that what didn't kill him made him stronger."
For T.I., his variety of personalities allowed him to navigate circles in prison and that he used that to his advantage. "That time was a lot more difficult for me. It was a lot more mental adjusting. I approached prison as a normal guy, everybody treated me as a normal guy," he noted. "I am a man of many different personalities. I can be real laidback in a calm setting and I can turn up when it's time to. That allows me to travel within many different circles. It was no different in prison."
T.I.'s episode of VH1's "Behind the Music" airs tonight at 10 p.m. EST. Watch the clip below (via EW.com).
[November 5]
UPDATE: VH1 has released the full episode of T.I.'s "Behind the Music" special. Watch the show below (via HHNM).
