The difference is me
Thursday, July 23, 2009
Things are going well. Boot camp isn't getting any easier but I'm starting to accept what I already knew.... Losing weight isn't easy.
My boot camp instructor was looking at my food log and noticed I seem to be having a love affair with Paul Newman. Not the good, healthy, light italian dressing Paul Newman, the other one...you know the one, the rich, tasty, full fat Creamy Caesar Paul Newman. I know it goes against what I'm trying to accomplish but I feel that if this is supposed to be a lifestyle NOT a diet, then Creamy caesar is part of that life. I did agree with her that at 190 calories for 2 oz, I could be spending my calories on a wiser choice. Seeing that I've had Paul several times this week, a compromise needs to be found. After some thought, I have decided to try moderation and instead of indulging in the full 2 oz servings to use 1 oz serving and mix it with some pico de gallo or maybe only indulge once a week.
I find it interesting that I used to belong to a gym that was three blocks away from my house and I didn't go. I find it interesting that I used to belong to the Y and I complained that since it was 15 minutes from my house, it wasn't convenient. I find it interesting that I drive 20 minutes to go to a public park, dodge the occasional dog poop, get bitten by bugs, and sweat my patootie off for boot camp and don't even mind the drive.
I think the difference is being outdoors vs being in an enclosed space. I think the difference is going someplace and knowing that you will be doing something different than what you did the day before vs walking into the traditional gym trying to figure out what to do. I think the difference is (bugs aside) that it's nice to be outside. It could be the difference is me being ready and finding the right thing at the right time.
Well, I gotta pick the grass out of my hair. Tomorrow is another day to try to get it right.

For a treat for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day, why not have them wake up to a breakfast of fresh orange juice and heart shaped sweet potato waffles? Or, you can also go with the traditional heart shaped cookies in a delicious and aesthetically pleasing recipe by Blue Diamond.
Sweet Potato Waffles
- 2c unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¼c Demerara sugar
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 ½ c plain soy milk (can also use oat milk, although it adds a different taste)
- 2 egg equivalent egg replacer
- ¼c unsweetened applesauce
- ¼c extra virgin olive oil (this is the healthiest of the oils, but you can also use canola or sunflower)
- 1c garnet sweet potato puree (the type typically found in your local store. For fresh puree, bake for 50 minutes and scoop out the softened inner flesh)
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, one ingredient at a time, add the milk, egg replacement, applesauce and oil into the sweet potato puree.
Combine the two mixtures together and stir thoroughly (the batter will be thick).
Cook the waffles for about 5-7 minutes until they are a golden brown and top with maple syrup or fresh fruit (or both!)
The last step - enjoy!

Hazara without piling/building up their shattered and broken ppl together under one leader, they cannot win the battle nor secure their future generation in Afghanistan. A comman leader is the one who rally his common man on a common cause" Hazara must accept one leader under whom they exert to recreat/regain their lost land /territory and provinces to Pashtuns during the reign of inhuman king Amir Abdur Rehman / others, through peaceful negotiation/talks with govt incorporating UN and Americans. However, if occupiers /intruders desists the handing over of the legimate right of land/provinces of the Hazara, than Hazara must prepare themselves to fight and pay sacrifice for their future generation for secured lives, rights where they can live according to their custom, tradition and religious freedom. Hazara must induce in themselves their fighting capabilities/courage and devotion to their community, the way Pashtuns and Tajiks do.Hazara is not born less than them in capability, capacity, courage, devotion and ruling ability, infactHazara is the most genius, proffessional, couragouse/fighter nation as a whole, unfortunately due to the weakness of their past elders to prepare, equint with themselves requirementent of battle and collaborate/help from friends they damaged the Hazara.

NIM inhomogenizes waves incident at an angle.
When a modulated wave (made of many frequencies) is incident at an angle to PIM NIM surface, the modulation (wide gray bands) and the carriers (sharp black-white narrow bands)
go in entirely different directions
Remember how they went in opposite directions (180 degrees) when the wave was incident perpendicular to surface? Well, here the angle between phase and group is between 90 and 180 degrees.
Note how the
carriers go towards the PIM-NIM surface but not across it
. The modulations cross the PIM-NIM surface from left to right, and keep going upwards, i.e.,
modulations refract at positive angles

Had to listen to the majority of the game in the car on my way home. Nice to see that we have decided the number one spot in the central division, and the two oldest guys in the league are on a streak. Clark I have to agree about your stand on playing Nashville, I hate playing them as well excpet I really can't stand Kariya or Tootoo. Always good to see them go down!

I ended up having to miss the third to head to a soccer game. Always good when both my team and the Wings can pull out a big win over a tough team.

Take the Shot
An uncommon stack of one-shots and first issues to take chances on has swollen my comics budget these last few weeks; let's see how many left me feeling that food and rent were overrated anyway…
That's the novel core of Brian Bendis and Alex Maleev's utterly refreshing "Scarlet," about a Pacific Northwest slacker girl turned urban revolutionary. It's not the Pacific Northwest of carnival WTO protests nor the Big Idea drama of a Brian Wood's "DMZ"; Bendis' choice of the micro-personal everywoman/nobody of noir for what will become a political thriller promises to give the most readers an emotional stake in the character, and already is making the manifesto aspects of the dialogue and plots ring entirely true (and way beyond any comic you could compare it to).
Bendis is giving a voice to the unaligned majority who know it's all going wrong but would rather gain a country than pick a side; at the same time he makes *you* decide whether his protagonist's elegant definitions of what ails us address the essence of the problem or just answer it with more unworkable one-liners. The everyday backdrop and true-to-life expression rank with the best of post-Pekar indie monologue 'n' margin comics, and Maleev is a revelation on every page, from his bleak yet lyrical photojournalistic main style to the stretches he takes on the collaged narrative detours, from snapshot to webpage to sheer geometric abstraction. Most of Bendis' franchised superhero stuff hasn't been my thing, but this creator-owned book is thoroughly *his* thing, and I've never seen that go wrong.
Centered on the unlikely and dangerous romance between a museum curator working to hide France's art treasures during WWII and a Nazi officer charged with obtaining them, the book alternates between the genteel veneer of their interrogation sessions, the tense liaisons which play out just as much like a hostile inquiry as these people who might have shared a passion in the days of genuine civilization struggle to understand each other's attractions in wartime, and the fraying relationships of co-workers and loved ones as the woman, Ila, stays behind to safeguard the artworks (and fitfully attempt some harboring of fugitives) and her colleagues and best friend head literally for the hills or back home to Canada, respectively.
As drawn by the infinitely versatile Stuart, these characters and their world are scenes of superlative motion and expression but pictures approaching stasis — alternating between a Bauhaus-y brevity that recalls everything from Tintin to Spiegelman on the main narrative, and an engraved detail for monumental paintings and photos that preside over the action as reminders of the characters' passions and pasts, these are moments inexorably sliding into history; the players walk through relics and masterworks that feel like a tomb at the eye of war's storm, and are moving toward long-ago decisions and fates we can't predict but already can't change.
Kathryn writes some of the most three-dimensional characters and inventive storylines in comics, capable of deep insight and endless surprise, whether that instinct and attentiveness are being applied to the breakneck patter and spontaneous pacing of a Big Two event like the dazzling recent "Heralds" at Marvel, or the anxious wit, slicing cross-examination and creeping, patient dread of this compelling GN.
As the book progresses, the noose tightens on the refugees in the museum's catacombs, "undesirables" in the town, and Ila's conflicted heart, and we leave on notes of masterfully underplayed melancholy and unease. Comics have made some eternal works of their own detailing the heroism of those not meant to survive the Holocaust; "Moving Pictures" explores the guilt of those who were always likely to. Both Ila and the officer speak often of the "job" they're sworn to do, and we all cling to routine and an old sense of purpose; this book navigates the elusive line between trying to keep a covenant with normalcy and just committing to bloody business as usual.
This book honors both what we know now and what we felt when such freak deities of science first started populating our public imagination, and the old school is represented by some literal sci-fi pulp characters released into our reality through a very novel device Shooter has introduced for the bleed between matter and mind as quantum theorists perceive it. In the title character he gives us a plausible view of a Dr. Manhattan with a conscience, coolly analytical yet matter-of-factly ethical in a way that sinks roots into silver-age decency with zero corn. Artist/colorist Dennis Calero's elegant chiaroscuro and frosty palette are perfect for the credible yet alien atmospheres and mythic melodrama. The textbook/dossier package design by Lia Ribacchi is uncommonly gripping and dignified too, yet another factor making this book a basic element of comics history and showing the state of the art.
On the other end of Doctor Solar's cool spectrum is the screaming grindhouse of Scott Morse's "Strange Science Fantasy," drawn like a series of storyboards for a Roger Corman road epic and written entirely in captions resembling the callouts of a very long trailer. Playing out the fever dream of a post-historic cult of drag-race warriors and saviors, the first issue speeds by in a second but imprints your brain with hours of clever detail. This book is speeding right for the cliff of comics' horizon and then gripping the air like a champ.
That was 52 pages of paradise; "Shadowland" is more like a pamphlet from purgatory, and there's four left to go (though not for me). A pro-forma franchise to keep one corner of the MU's "darkness" going for any who miss it during the companywide "Heroic Age" lightening of mood, "Shadowland" is clearly a sleepwalk for its gifted, vocally superhero-hating writer Andy Diggle, and I'm content to be woken up when it's over.
More simply regressive was the new "Thor, the Mighty Avenger," a remix of the character's origin which seems to try for period charm but ends up reading like the kind of knockoff that would be produced if Marvel had been acquired by Tower Comics in the late '60s and Thor had been thrown to some of its lesser talents. Sad, because this book is done by two of comics' greater talents; the poppy yet textured, post-Azaceta art by Chris Samnee is top flight, and writer Roger Langridge is, elsewhere, one of the most gifted humorists in comics. But even Asgardians have their off centuries. There might be some reality-bending twist in store for however long this book runs, as in "Age of the Sentry," but I didn't care about that one either.

Government Funded Stem Cell Research Ban Lifted In Court
An astounding victory occurred for proponents of stem cell research and technologies as a judge on Friday overturned an earlier temporary ban on government funded stem cell research.
The ramifications of this decision may well be one of the major turns in medicine and science since the invention of the wheel.
Because the government wasn't allowed in the funding of science that would have destroyed embryos, the court saw that now the government wouldn't be in that category.
There's a double edged sword regarding stem cells as the public and officials are unaware that there are two types of stem cell research. One is embryonic stem cells that are formed after fertilization of an egg.
These stem cells used to be only gleaned by destroying the embryo. Further technology no longer needs this to be done, however scientists have warned that embryonic stem cells may lead to cancers which has been proven.
However, everyone has what's referred to as adult stem cells, stem cells already in one's body that go about doing the same things that embryonic stem cells do but without the dangers.
Adult stem cell research took a backseat to embryonic stem cells and funding had to be private. However, because of the remarkable treatments that adult stem cells have shown, it's absurd not to pursue them. Nowadays it's been proven that with stem cells every organ in the body can be treated.
Scientists have shown they can regrow organs include complex systems like spinal cord nerve tissue, optical tissues and more. Even advances in regenerating skin on severe burn victims has been spotlighted on shows like 60 Minutes where instead of years of skin grafts, victims of severe burns can be treated in mere days.
Other countries without these bans on funding are years ahead of the US and because of the bans the US may well miss out on the biggest medical treatments in history.
Now with the ban on funding lifted there may be in a few years treatments so astounding that they mirror such things seen on futuristic shows like "Star Trek".
For years the man who created the first commercially successful adult stem cell treatment center for cardio vascular diseases, Mr. Don Margolis had predicted and monitored the stem cell industry. His accuracy rate in regard to developments in the technologies has been quite spot on.
Needless to say this is indeed an astronomical victory for science, medicine, and the White House.

On opening night at the Dimitriou's Jazz Alley gig in downtown Seattle last Thursday, headliner Sara Gazarek, 32, achieved a milestone in her career trajectory. She stepped naturally into the role of the jazz vocalist she'd always wanted to be.
In a phone interview from L.A. just a few days before Gazarek's July 10-13th run, the Seattle native spent a lot of time sorting through the kind of performers who impress her. There are the performers who can scat and sing really well, and then there are those who "express something." She's all about the expression, when "I'm still thinking about a concert days later, … that I've felt something and they changed my mood and my perspective on life, and that never happens in that impressed state. It's always kind of like, an hour later, I'm thinking about something else."
Standing onstage in a luscious Grecian red dress with her band — pianist Josh Nelson, drummer Zach Harmon, and bassist Hamilton Price, and special guest, guitarist Larry Koonse — Gazarek found herself naturally going places she might not have gone early on in her career. After warming up and cooling off with a standard ("Down With Love"), fan favorites ("Blackbird/Bye Bye Blackbird," "Some Of These Days"), tracks from previous albums, the 2005 Yours and 2012 Blossom & Bee, the jazz vocalist got over opening night jitters and got serious.
She opened up to the audience completely, no holds barred, by disappearing into the blood and guts of a very poignantly sad love song she wrote with lyricist Cliff Goldmacher and her longtime accompanist Josh Nelson. "I Don't Love You Anymore" gave Gazarek time and space to flex her vocal muscles. But more importantly, it gave her the chance to show the Jazz Alley audience what she's made of.
The song is about two exes running into each other on the street, one of them quite happy with another love, the other pretending to be in the face of anguish. Gazarek started off in Seattle's Roosevelt High School pursuing theater when she found jazz choir. Theater and jazz found her in the zone as she told the story in the character of the jilted ex, still carrying a torch but expected to put on a show of nobility and class.
Gazarek possesses firm control over a fantastic voice, from years and years of training (she also teaches jazz at the University of Southern California). Already blessed with the chops to pull off any song, she proceeded to go beyond, to build emotion from raw openness — something she couldn't have done as a nervous 18-year-old just starting out.
"I've always been comfortable in front of a crowd, but I think that there have been parts of myself that I've been scared to show. I didn't want people to know that I was young, or think I was too young, and so I was probably more serious than I needed to be on the stage," Gazarek said in that June 30th phone interview. "And now, I'm still young, but I'm 32, and I've been performing and I think even at Jazz Alley, this is probably like the ninth, was it nine years ago that I began performing there? I'm just not scared to laugh in front of the audience, or crack a joke, or make fun of myself, or do songs that are really intense for me, that mean something really specific that I'm still dealing with emotionally and I might feel like I'm on the verge of tears the entire time but it's not terrifying to go there in front of the audience, because I know that we're all there for each other."
After about the fourth or fifth tune on the set list, Gazarek freely, easily, sincerely went there as only she could. She immersed herself in the role of the jilted ex trying like hell to take the high road. Every betrayal, every hurt, every struggle in the conflict between what was and what should be playing out in that fantastic, pitch-perfect voice, able to convey warmth and heartbreak in a split second.
This is a singer who could coast on sweet perfection, avoiding the messy breakups and the uncomfortable parts of life in her performances. This is a song she's performed before at Tokyo's Cotton Club last year. But never quite like this. Never with such conviction and almost barely pent-up resentment. She proved she could handle the rough, raw, ragged emotion this material brought up in a deeper way last week. With her voice nearly to the breaking point, a conversation spun into vocal gold, Gazarek took the Jazz Alley audience with her on such an in-depth emotional journey. Everyone felt what she felt.
"I've never really been interested in performing. I've always kind of been interested in experiencing something in the moment and knowing that on any given night, just based on what's been going on in my life, any tune can take on any other meaning and to kind of be ready for where that goes," Gazarek said, prophetically. "And of course the performance is part of it — the master of instrument, the ability to sing in tune, be aware of dip songs and vowel shapes and support and breath and connectivity in the vocal chords, and you know all of the BS that we study in school really is just a tool for vocabulary and the ability to be expressive in that moment. So my ability to sing in tune and have a beautiful instrument, think about vibrato, all that has got to go on the back shelf, so that in the moment I'm able to use those tools to get something across."
By the time Gazarek tangled with this part of the song — "I can't say you're the only one, who's got everything I need, And all the promises you gave to me, I never could believe. But I'm all about forgiveness, that's what broken hearts are for, I wish you both the very best, the world is flat, the sky is green. And I don't love you anymore" — most of the audience was crying.
In the next tune, Billy Joel's "So It Goes," Gazarek was crying. She does best in songs where she can manipulate the tempo, slow it down in spots, pinpoint certain inflections for the groove and the feel, and express as only she can. She made the most of the spaces in this song, lingering in the silences without a word, with barely a hint of sound, fusing thought and feeling in a swirling, fading mass. The room got so quiet, as she held the audience spellbound, waiting for the next lyrical fulfillment. The audience doesn't do that for anybody. They found their Nancy Wilson, the same legend Gazarek looks up to as the pinnacle of her personal and professional success — the kind of expressive, impressive performer who leaves a mark long after the performance is over. "When I'm listening to Nancy Wilson, I'm not thinking, 'God, what a beautiful instrument.' I'm feeling everything that she's doing. So that's the goal. I'm not there yet, I'm workin' on it [laughs]."
Sara Gazarek reached the pinnacle of her career at last week's Jazz Alley show, showing that she could not only bring in the weekend crowd, but leave a lasting impression as a phenomenal vocalist. She's more than just a pretty face with a pretty voice. She's a unique jazz presence destined for the kind of greatness of a Nancy Wilson.
She carried with her an amazing band and amazing touches on a varied set list that manages to capture all sides to her — the silly, flirtatious Gilberto number, "O pato," the larger-than-life bravado of Sophie Tucker in "Some Of These Days," the charming and clever riff off Blossom Dearie's "Unpack Your Adjectives," the Spartan disruption of Laura Mvula's "Make Me Lovely," the fanciful classical dream in the updated "Blackbird/Bye Bye Blackbird" medley.
The singular beauty of this singer and composer, the reason she can pack 'em in, lies in what she does with her amazing voice. She shows truth, kindness, and love. Every so often, if the audience is patient — and they are with her — she will reveal a conflict amidst her strength, pain within so much hope, darkness in the light, a fire despite the sleek, the smooth, and the supple, the real Sara Gazarek.

Lies of Evolution: Scientists Now Create Zedonk for Their Agenda
DAHLONEGA, GA – Scientists in rural Georgia have created a zedonk, an unnatural cross between a zebra and a donkey. This renegade to natural breeding is being housed at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve down in Dahlonega, all after being born at the same place over a week ago. The animal is attracting widespread attention.
The zedonk has a zebra father and a donkey mother. A zebra and a donkey are of seperate species, and therefore, not intended to mate with one another. The ethical implications of supporting and encouraging inter-species mating and breeding are without bound.
The animal's zebra coding is prominently displayed, phenotypically, upon the legs and her face. In terms of behavior, the foal displays a zebra-like mentality, according to the preserve's manager, C.W. Wathen.
When resting, the zebra will still sit-up and remain perked up, as if keeping an ear and nose for predators. These habits are necessary for zebras, who must remain on guard and be prepared to flee from large predatory cats that hunt upon their natural biome.
This animal has been created by evolutionists, in efforts to convince people that inter-species mating and production of animals is very natural and fine. They are trying to convince humans that we descend from monkeys, that a primative man took a primative chimpazee hominid female for a mate, which lead to modern humans and our similar genetic coding to chimpazees and lemurs.
These thoughts are not warranted and are hardly scientific and without measure. Also, such thoughts give perverted individuals grounds to lobby for legal breeding and mating between any and all species, including humans. Such legalization would be a gross tragedy for mankind.
So the agenda once more is clear and as usual, short-sighted evolutionists will stop at no ends to get their ridiculous school of thought accepted as mainstream. Remember to reject these teachings and know that all we need to know about our origins is presented as fact in the Bible. All we need to know about science is point-forward, testable now and not bound to random asinine theories that cannot ever be tangibly tested and therefore not scientifically proven.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how much we change in just a few years. I guess it comes with the end of a decade, and thinking back to 2000, or even 2005 or 2008. I've probably evolved the most since 2007, when I moved to Florida, and started a totally different life. However, I think we can look back at any good three or five year chunk of our lives, and see a lot of change, hopefully for the good.
More about all that soon, perhaps, but I couldn't resist sharing this video I found at mamamia.com.au of Lady Gaga back before she was, well, Lady Gaga. This first video is from 2005, and I am totally in love with the first song:
And for comparison, current day Gaga:

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...

ORCA Therapeutics, a developer of virotherapies for cancer, received an innovation credit of up to €5 million from Agentschap, an agency executing programs for the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture, and Innovation. The funding will support development of lead compound ORCA-010 as a treatment for prostate cancer.
Under terms of the agreement, ORCA receives €1,058,000 to support the initial stage of the project, with the outlook for additional funding of up to €5 million with the successful completion of specific milestones. The credit will become repayable subject to the commercial success of the project.
ORCA Therapeutics' technology leverages oncolytic replication competent agents (ORCA) derived from naturally occurring viruses. Owing to their ability to self-replicate within the cancer cell, oncolytic viruses have pharmacokinetic properties that set them apart from conventional small molecule or mAb-based therapeutics. Oncolytic viruses are programmed to specifically target, replicate in, and ultimately kill tumor cells, while healthy cells are left unharmed thereby minimizing side effects. ORCA's approach is to magnify the cell-killing potential of the underlying oncolytic virus while maintaining strong safety.
ORCA-010 is an oncolytic adenovirus based on the company's T1 technology. The T1 technology refers to a specific mutation in the E3 gp19K gene resulting in enhanced potency in human tumors and cancer-associated fibroblasts in vitro as well as enhanced antitumoral activity when injected intratumorally or systemically in different models in vivo. The oncolytic potency of ORCA-010 is up to ten thousand fold higher than that of other state of the art oncolytic adenoviruses, according to ORCA Therapeutics.
"This credit will allow us to take the next steps in preclinical and clinical development of our ORCA-010 product for treatment of prostate cancer patients," said Janneke Meulenberg, CEO of ORCA Therapeutics.

Eleventh sign of the Zodiac, Aquarians are endowed with the necessary social conscience required to take things to a new level and into a new age of development and innovation. People born under this sign are philanthropists and humanitarians, constantly seeking to make the world a better place for everyone. They are visionaries who invest quite a lot of time and energy into imagining how things could be improved. The good thing about their enthusiasm and energy is that they are infectious: they can easily engage others in their activities and dreams, reason why they have a large circle of friends.
The symbol of the Aquarius is the Water Bearer. Just like the latter shares the life-giving liquid, Aquarians gladly share with others their new ideas. They usually are gifted with an intelligent mind, so their thoughts and ideas tend to be ground-breaking. Inventive and original, Aquarians feel the happiest when talking to someone about a new plan, but they feel a whole lot better when others agree with it.
Water Bearers aren't the patient kind – they can even be temperamental, especially with those who disagree with them. Their stubbornness is due to the fact that they have a Fixed Quality. Although Aquarians are generous, loving to give and to help others, they want to do it on their own terms. Generally speaking, individuals born under this Sun sign are compassionate and can easily empathize with other people. However, they are pleased to have things go their way.
The planetary rulers of this sign are Saturn and Uranus. While Saturn is the original ruler of the Aquarius, Uranus was discovered more recently and added later to this sign. Saturn was celebrated as the father of several gods by the Romans, while Uranus is the oldest of the gods in their mythology. Combined together, the energies of these planets form a strong, vibrant whole. Saturn is responsible for Aquarians' need to be right all the time, and Uranus provides them their visionary spirit.
People may perceive Aquarians as quirky, and even eccentric. They enjoy anything that is new and rebellious. Their greatest asset is their creative and innovative mind. Due to their constant quest for progress, they take a big interest in technology as well – if you have a question about one of the latest gadgets available or about any next-generation technology, they will most likely have an answer for you.
Air is the element correlated with Aquarius, aspect which explains their intellectual endeavors. They come up with complex theories and scientific ideas, putting them in the service of humanity. On the same note of trying to help others, Aquarians believe that their unusual, original approach to things will eventually change the world. As one can tell, they are altruistic individuals who truly wish to make a difference, to contribute.
To sum everything up, the biggest strengths of the Water Bearer are their intellect, originality, and vision. Humanitarians by nature, they want to improve the world, to make it a better place for everyone. They rarely follow a path which has been created by someone else; instead, they like to leave their own trail where there is none.

O.J. Simpson is out on bail.
The former football hall of famer had a court hearing on Sept. 19, where he faced charges in connection with last week's Las Vegas hotel room confrontation.
Simpson is charged with eleven crimes, including armed robbery and kidnapping.
O.J. Simpson walked out of jail in a light blue suit surrounded by deputies and got into his attorney's car.
Simpson's Attorney, Yale Galanter, says O.J. is eager to get home to Florida:
"He's relieved this has been a harrowing experience for him," Galanter said.
Earlier in a short nine minute hearing, Simpson stood before the judge handcuffed as he read the eleven counts against him, Simpson flinching at the charge of first-degree kidnapping which is one of ten felonies he's accused of.
Simpson's girlfriend wiped away tears and his eldest daughter was also in the packed courtroom as the judge set bail at $125,000. The judge ordered Simpson to surrender his passport and have no contact with anyone involved in the case.
Some of Simpson's friends and co-defendants who allegedly took part in the robbery at the Palace Station Hotel have been cooperating with police, and the man who set up and taped the confrontation claims he has been given immunity from prosecution
"We'll be examining what deals and promises went on behind the scenes," Galanter said.
And speaking of scenes outside the courthouse, the Simpson circus is back in full swing.
Simpson is due back in court at the end of October. His attorney says if the case goes to trial then it likely wouldn't begin until next year.
Simpson's attorney expects he will return to his home in Florida.
Simpson spent three nights in the Las Vegas jail after his arrest.

Dear Prayer Warriors,
At the present moment, there is a situation that requires
our friends to pray on our behalf.
You see before we call the Chronic Disease Fund for support,
we decided prayer is utmost.
In order for me to give myself shots daily for two years, I have
to be able to afford the cost. It is over a thousand dollars that
we need to pay each month. We cannot afford that amount of
money. It is beyond our means so the choice is either to forgo
the medicine or a miracle has to occur.
The Lord is in control, so we are depending upon him to make
a way for us.
The medicine is to help prevent me from breaking any more
bones. The shots are a must to increase bone mass thereby
helping to strengthen my vertebrate.
We would appreciate your faithful prayers offered up as incense
not just for me but all others that cannot afford the expense of
Thank you dear brothers and sisters in the Lord for your
sympathetic ear.
May the Lord be gracious by showing his never-failing favor
to each one of you.
To God be the glory! Amen!
Answered prayer!
The Lord is so good ...
He gave me the quiet confidence and assurance that He
would remove the roadblocks out of the way. From the
very beginning, peace overflowed my spirit in believing
that my great Provider would take care of me. He knew
how important these injections are as they are a necessity
for building bone mass. Without them, my bones are
vulnerable and could break for no reason at all.
For the last several weeks, it looked like I wasn't going to
get approved. As a matter of fact, I was rejected and told
I could not be helped. My husband and I tried different
avenues to no avail, and we simply dropped it.
However, my Doctor went to bat for me because of how
urgent the injections are. Before long, we unexpectedly
received a phone call from the Doctor's office stating that
I would be able to receive a substantial discount.
The payment of $1100 dollars would now only be an
affordable fraction per month. This was so out of the
blue that both my husband, and I was genuinely surprised.
Once I said to the Lord: "OK so it wasn't meant for me to
have these injections. All is well with my soul Lord for You
are in control." The next thing we knew the Master's hand
solved our problem.
I was informed on Friday (3/15/12) that the injection kit was
being sent out to me overnight. To our delight, everything
flowed so easily and orderly. That is when you know that the
Lord has worked all things out for our good.
Whoever prayed for me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily
bears our burdens" Selah Psalm 68:19
To God, our King be all the glory! Amen.

While creating Full Text Catalog, if "on filegroup" is specified - it creates the catalog on this file, but on MSDN I read "On Filegroup" clause has no affect?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In SQL Server 2005 and prior, you could specify the filegroup for full text.
In SQL Server 2008 and newer, full text is completely different, and the ON FILEGROUP stuff doesn't matter. However, Microsoft doesn't just rip out syntax - they deprecate it, and a few versions later, it'll disappear. (Backup log with truncate_only is a good example of this.) This gives you time to clean up your scripts before the syntax disappears.
Starting in SQL Server 2008, full text catalogs are now virtual and filegroups are associated with the full text index instead of the catalog:
From here:
The ON FILEGROUP clause still exists (for backwards compatibility with existing scripts), but has no effect.
However, the filegroup option is now available for the full-text index itself. Therefore, instead of creating multiple catalogs--one for each file group--you can create one catalog and specify the filegroup for each full text index.
Basically, they have moved the filegroup mapping from the Catalog level to the Index level to allow for fewer catalogs and finer control.

As evident by the unlimited items glitch using the W-Item Materia in "Final Fantasy VII", there are certain bugs and glitches with the game that could potentially be exploited if done correctly. One such glitch is the Overflow damage bug.
While it is most easily done with either Vincent or Barret, most any character in the game is able to exploit the Overflow glitch. Using Vincent as an example, the glitch works like this. Vincent's ultimate weapon, Death Penalty, deals more damage for each enemy that Vincent has killed. While damage caps out at 9,999, the power of Death Penalty will keep growing with every kill.
As a result, if Vincent's kill count became high enough, with the maximum number of kills be 65, 535, then Overflow occurs and instantly kills the enemy attacked. While this mechanic works differently for other characters, as their weapons do not have the same special ability, the ultimate goal is the same.
Another way to trigger the Overflow is with Barret and his ultimate weapon, Missing Core. This ultimate weapon powers up with the AP from Materia equipped to it. Meaning, if enough MASTERED Materia is equipped to the weapon, the amount of AP would be so great that Overflow would be possible.
For the rest of the characters, Overflow can be achieved via Limit Breaks or even regular attacks, if paired with enough Hero Drinks and Berserk, both of which greatly raise attack power. It is an extremely useful glitch if one does not wish to have a challenge when facing certain enemies such as Ruby or Emerald Weapon and simply wish to claim their rewards.

Lexington-Thomasville ranks third in economic projects
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 3:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 3:02 p.m.
The Lexington-Thomasville micropolitan area ranked third in the nation for the most new and expanded corporate facilities in 2012, according to Conway Data Inc.'s New Plant Database.
Conway Data publishes Site Selection, the senior publication in the corporate real estate and economic development field. The magazine is the official publication of London-based Red Hot Locations and the Industrial Asset Management Council.
The magazine's New Plant Database focuses on new corporate facility projects with significant impact. It does not track retail and government projects, or schools and hospitals. New facilities and expansions included in the analyses must meet at least one of three criteria: (a) involve a capital investment of at least $1 million, (b) create at least 50 new jobs or (c) add at least 20,000 square feet of new floor area.
In the magazine's ranking of Top Micropolitans — cities of 10,000 to 50,000 people that cover at least one county — Statesville-Mooresville was tops among the nation's 576 micropolitan areas for the ninth time in 11 years with 20 projects. Lexington-Thomasville landed 18 projects. Shelby tied for fifth place with 10 projects.
Greensboro-High Point ranked sixth in 2012 in the tier two metro areas (populations 200,000 to 1 million) with 30 projects. Dayton, Ohio, was first with 53.

Democracy Now! 2012-07-19 Thursday
Syria's 16-month uprising has entered uncharted territory after Wednesday's bombing that killed three members of President Bashar al-Assad's inner circle, including his defense secretary, interior minister and brother-in-law. Fighting between government troops and opposition rebels has been reported across Damascus, including locations within sight of the presidential palace. We're joined from Syria by an activist who requested anonymity to protect her safety. "They're losing control," she says of the regime. "A lot of people were glad about [the bombing] yesterday, but it just makes us, deep inside, scared. What is the regime going to do next?"
As the battle for Damascus rages on, we're joined by reporter David Enders, special correspondent for McClatchy, based in Beirut, Lebanon. He has been to Syria four times this year, most recently in June, and is returning there shortly. "The [Syrian] government [is] crumbling under the weight of a massive rebellion. It simply can't put it down," Enders says. "Without the aid of the international community, Syrians are largely doing it themselves."
In the wake of Wednesday's bomb blast that killed top Syrian officials, we continue our Syria coverage with David Lesch, author of the biography, "The New Lion of Damascus: Bashar al-Asad and Modern Syria," as well as the forthcoming book, "Syria: The Fall of the House of Assad." Lesch is a professor of Middle East history at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. "[Assad is] someone, I think, who started out with good intent," Lesch says. "[But] rather than changing the system, that many of us had hoped from the beginning, the authoritarian system had actually changed him."

The honest majority of American athletics is trying to rebuild public trust after high profile scandals at the USPS sponsored Armstrong cycling team and the 162 game suspension of New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez for banned steroid injections. But yet another recent scandal spotlights key reasons why cheating has become so common. Two institutions Americans count on to keep the sports world honest, the mainstream media and NCAA universities, have almost no budgets to take effective action against circulating false or misleading claims about NCAA credentials.
The latest sports business scandal involves false claims about the credentials of the inventor and promoter of the "Yar putter." The inventor used the title "Dr." and claimed the doctorate was from MIT. Also known as Essay Vanderbilt, the golf entrepreneur claimed to have a business degree from the University of Pennsylvania." The advertising pitchman for the "Yar putter," CBS sportscaster Gary McCord, added the credibility of the CBS reputation for excellence in journalism to these false claims.
In his investigative report published online last week on January 15, Caleb Hannan detailed the scale of deceit and how common this type of tall tale has become: "Yes, Dr. V had fabricated a résumé that helped sell the Oracle putter under false pretenses. But she was far from the first clubmaker to attach questionable scientific value to a piece of equipment just to make it more marketable. Sure, her lies were more audacious than the embellishments found in late-night infomercials. But her ultimate intent — to make a few bucks, or, maybe, to be known as a genius — remained the same. Whatever the answers, Gary McCord would not be able to help me find them. The man who had once been so willing to talk stopped responding to my emails. Finally, a spokesperson at CBS told me that McCord had 'nothing more to add to the story.'"
Faking an Ivy League degree is a lot easier than many people suspect. The actual diplomas are in Latin in unconventional calligraphy. Any con artist can pay a calligrapher to create a Latin text with the name of an Ivy League University on it and conjugate the Latin verb for "graduated" to mean "not graduated" with a single consonant. They can hang this in their office, post it on their business website and only a meticulous professor of Latin would recognize that it was proof of not graduating as opposed to a credential that the proud possessor actually earned the coveted degree.
The scale of faked degree claims and grossly exaggerated degree claims exceeds the budgets of leading universities to do much about it. Erez Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel, founding directors of Harvard University's Cultural Observatory with genuine academic credentials, have developed data analysis tools that show false claims have reached epidemic proportions. The number of claims of Harvard credentials in online biographies outnumbers the living alumni population from accredited degree programs by three to one. Some are outright fabrications, such as the non-existent degrees of Essay Vanderbilt.
Often, attendance at one of thousands of seminars or fundraisers hosted by a prestigious university is presented as some type of academic credential although the programs do not issue academic credits that are accepted for transfer to actual degree programs or qualify for financial aid. For example, San Diego area radio business commentator Gabriel Wisdom was introduced in a September 23, 2013 interview by Wade Fransson with the promo: "from giving surf condition reports on the California coast to graduating from Harvard Business School, Gabe Wisdom draws from a wealth of experience." But Wisdom does not have a graduate school business degree at all. He has a two-year Associate's degree in radio broadcasting from Orange Coast College, a community college with a solid reputation but no bachelor's degree programs. Wisdom did attend a summer school adult education program organized by Harvard Business School, but the program does not require completion of an undergraduate college degree and does not issue undergraduate or graduate degrees.
The Grantland investigative report is bad news. But if the NCAA wakes up to the problem and takes effective action to stop degrading the value of actual degrees, it will be good news in the future.

On February 25th, 2014, Paul Cameron, the chairman of the Family Research Institute, threw a wrench in any illusions the group may have had about convincing anyone they are not a hate group by stating on the David Parkman Show, not only that he supported a new law in Uganda by which homosexuality can be punishable by death, but that he would be open to the idea of pursuing similar legislation in the United States.
"One must understand those who act on their homosexual desires or interests usually end up being parasites on society, and parasites that are very dangerous for society, not only because they take far more than they contribute to society, but they particularly injure children," said Cameron.
Cameron wisely hesitated from offering his full support to such a measure and admitted that he had no idea how such legislation would be carried out, but still claimed that many societies have decreed the death penalty for "homosexual molestation or rape," and stated that he would be "open to" such a measure.
"I have no particular, nor my colleagues, any particular stance on this except to say this is not an unreasonable thing, especially as we consider, as we're looking right now, at news reports all across the world regarding those with homosexual interests in children have done to children," said Cameron.
Back in that pesky little thing called reality, however, Cameron cannot find any link between homosexuality and molestation or pedophilia, a fact for which Cameron should be very well aware as it was his constant pursuit of such nonsense that resulted in his expulsion from the American Psychological Association and the American Sociological Association.
The American Taliban's war against reality is as futile as ever.

When Rick Neuheisel attended the 1998 Rose Bowl, to be inducted into its Hall of Fame, he took the time to enjoy the moment and bask in the gala and pageantry of the college football game known simply as "The Granddaddy of Them All."
As he watched the shadows creep over the Arroyo Seco, and the sun disappear into the western horizon, he turned to his wife, Susan, and said, "We've got to get back here someday."
It happened sooner than he expected.
Three years later Neuheisel was back in the Rose Bowl, hoisting the championship trophy above his head to the delight of 40,000 Husky fans after Washington had dispatched Purdue's Boilermakers 34-24.
After quarterbacking UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the 1984 Rose Bowl, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and coaching the Huskies to their seventh Rose Bowl championship, Neuheisel will long be considered one of the Rose Bowl's favorite sons.
Neuheisel prefers to deflect the attention for Washington's ascension back to the top of the college football ranks over the past three seasons. He will be the first one to credit his players and coaching staff for making the commitment to return the Huskies to dominance.
When he first arrived in Seattle in January of 1999, Neuheisel challenged the Huskies to forego any feeling-out process with a new staff and simply make a commitment to winning.
The results speak for themselves. During his first three years as a Husky, Neuheisel's teams have placed second, first and second in the Pac-10 race. Washington has been ranked in the Associated Press poll for every game during the past two seasons. The Huskies have made two trips to the Holiday Bowl and one showing in the Rose Bowl under Neuheisel.
Last year's team posted a 8-4 record that included six wins at Husky Stadium to extend the Huskies' current home winning streak to 14 games. A young Husky squad faced five teams that were ranked in the final Associated Press Poll and picked up wins against three of those opponents.
Neuheisel's second Husky squad, the 2000 team, posted the first 10-win season since the 1991 Huskies went 12-0 en route to the national championship. It was Washington's first Rose Bowl title in 10 years and its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1992.
The 2000 Huskies were a remarkable team. Washington trailed in eight of its 11 wins, showing incredible resilience and heart, not to mention strategy, in pulling off five consecutive fourth-quarter comebacks in a row. For his efforts, Neuheisel was listed as a finalist for coach of the year by several different media outlets.
In 1999, his first season as the head football coach at Washington, Neuheisel accomplished something that none of his predecessors achieved. He guided the Huskies to a 7-5 record, including an invitation to the 1999 Culligan Holiday Bowl, becoming the first UW coach to take the team to a bowl game during his inaugural season.
Husky football fans and casual sports followers alike have quickly embraced Neuheisel for the spark he has added to Washington's storied football tradition. As a public speaker, he is in high demand. Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generated lofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant for innovative fundraising ideas.
Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999 after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to 1998. His six-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711).
Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-year old Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior to securing the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater, UCLA, under his college coach Terry Donahue, and was an assistant coach for one season on Bill McCartney's staff in Boulder. He was named the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994.
At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was 3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games were against Pac-10 Conference opponents. He had 20 wins in his first two seasons as a college coach, which tied for the fourth-most by a first-time college coach in the Division I-A modern era. Both of those Colorado teams finished in the top-10 of the national polls.
Neuheisel had a number of "firsts" while coaching the Buffaloes:
• He became the first first-year Colorado coach to take a team to a bowl game.
• The team's 10 wins in 1995 were the most ever by a first-year CU coach.
• The Buffaloes' No. 4 ranking in the USA Today standings and No. 5 ranking in the final Associated Press poll were the eighth-highest rankings ever for a first-year coach.
• Neuheisel's 10 wins his first year tied for the fifth-most by a rookie.
• The 1996 Colorado team set a school record by winning 10 consecutive road games.
• The 1997 Buffalo team produced three All-Americans, including Butkus Award winner Matt Russell.
• He is only the fourth coach to guide his first two teams to a pair of 10-win seasons.
The road that led Neuheisel into coaching was an interesting, if not a unique one. After finishing his college career with a spectacular performance in the 1984 Rose Bowl in which he was named the game's Most Valuable Player, he graduated from UCLA in May, 1984, with a bachelor's degree in political science. Neuheisel had a solid 3.4 grade point average, the highest of all graduating football seniors, and was named Academic All-Pac 10. He won the Jack R. Robinson and Paul I. Wellman awards from the school to honor his academic excellence, and also earned an NCAA postgraduate scholarship as he aspired to attend law school. Neuheisel was inducted into the Rose Bowl's Hall of Fame in 1998.
v He played two seasons (1984,1985), with the San Antonio Gunslingers of the United States Football League. Following the 1985 USFL season (which was over by the end of summer), he decided to use his NCAA scholarship award and enrolled in law school at Southern California.
The following summer, he joined the UCLA staff as a volunteer coach, specifically to tutor Troy Aikman on the UCLA offense. Aikman matured under Neuheisel's tutelage, and the two remain close friends to this day.
In 1987, Neuheisel played in the National Football League. He suited up for three games for the San Diego Chargers (starting two), and still holds a team record for completion percentage in a game (81.8, going 18-of-22 for 217 yards and a touchdown at Tampa Bay). He completed 40-of-59 passes in those three games for 367 yards and one touchdown, and added another touchdown rushing. Another claim to his short-lived NFL fame is that he is the last player to rush for a one-point conversion, running in a muffed PAT attempt at Cincinnati. This is forever a trivia answer, with the NFL now sporting the two-point conversion.
He closed out the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dressing for two games, but never getting the chance to play. He wore the same number at Tampa Bay (No. 7) that he wore for San Diego.
Neuheisel would again return to his alma mater, but this time in the capacity of a full-time assistant coach in charge of the quarterbacks, which he would coach for the next two seasons before switching to receivers coach in 1990. While an assistant at UCLA, Neuheisel continued his studies in his pursuit of a law degree. He graduated from the University of Southern California School of Law in 1990 with his juris doctor degree. He would be sworn into the Arizona State Bar Association in May of 1991, and the Washington, D.C., Bar in March, 1993.
Neuheisel began his collegiate playing career as a walkon at UCLA, holding for kicker John Lee, and eventually battled Steve Bono for the starting quarterback job by his senior year. He secured the starting job four games into the regular season and quarterbacked the Bruins to the Pac-10 championship in 1983, earning honorable mention All-Pac 10 honors in the process. He was named the Most Valuable Player in the 1984 Rose Bowl when UCLA beat Illinois, 45-9. In that game, Neuheisel completed 22-of-31 passes for 298 yards and four TDs, including a pair to Karl Dorrell, who later became Washington's offensive coordinator.
Neuheisel completed 198 of 290 passes for 2,480 yards and 15 touchdowns in his UCLA career, which at the time placed him sixth on the Bruins' all-time passing yards list. He still holds school records in completion percentage for both a single season (69.3 as a senior) and career (68.3). Another school record he still holds, completion percentage in a single game, set an NCAA record at the time; Neuheisel completed 25 of 27 passes (including 18 straight at one point) for 287 yards against Washington in 1983, a remarkable 92.6 percent.
He graduated from McClintock High School in Tempe, Ariz., in 1979, and was the school's most outstanding athlete his senior year as he lettered in football (quarterback), basketball (guard) and baseball (shortstop, outfield, pitcher). He is a member of McClintock's Hall of Fame. Richard Gerald Neuheisel, Jr., was born on Feb. 7, 1961, in Madison, Wis., where he made his debut as a head coach when CU beat Wisconsin 43-7. He is married to the former Susan Wilkinson, and they have three children, Jerry (10), Jack (8) and Joe (5).
Neuheisel's father, Dick, was one of the original Tempe Diablos, a group which helped found the Fiesta Bowl, and is a former president of Sister Cities International, a worldwide goodwill organization. The son of Dick and Jane, Rick has three sisters, Nancy, Katie and Deborah. From his home on Lake Washington, he occasionally drives his boat to work. He has been a semi-regular participant on the Celebrity Golf Association Tour. In 1999, a month before the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, he shot a 74 on the course.

A former New York City correction officer was sentenced Friday to serve five years in prison after he admitted to slashing a Nassau County police officer after an altercation at his Long Island home, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said April 4.
Christopher Sargeant, 34, of Hempstead, was ordered jailed for five years and compelled to pay more than $87,000 in restitution to cover the cost of the injured cop's medical bills after pleading guilty last January to a second-degree assault charge, prosecutors said.
The charges stem from a March 25, 2012 incident when Nassau County police officers were called to a report of a man, who police identified as Sargeant, "pelting passing cars with rocks in Hempstead." A patrol cop followed Sargeant from the scene as he drove to his home at 122 Emery Street in Hempstead. When he exited the car, Sargeant allegedly had a knife in his hand, the DA said.
According to police, Sargeant refused commands to drop the weapon and fled into the house, which led officers to pursue him. As they followed him into the home, a struggle ensued inside a laundry room and Sargeant was holding a 5-inch knife, police said at the time.
During the struggle, an Emergency Service Unit officer was "cut by Sargeant" and suffered a 4-inch laceration, officials have said. The 13-year veteran officer – who was not identified – needed surgery, but has fully recovered from his injuries, according to prosecutors.
At the time of the incident, police called Sargeant "emotionally disturbed" and said he was evaluated at Nassau University Medical Center after his arrest.
A source said Sargeant – who started working as a city correction officer in 2006 – had been on medical leave for a year before he was fired from his job at Riker's Island about two weeks before the altercation.
Sargeant was also in court on Thursday for a separate case where he was sentenced to a year in jail for violating a stay-away order of protection. A spokesman for Rice's office declined to identify Sargeant's relationship to the victim in that case.
Prosecutors have said the sentence in that case will run concurrent with the assault sentence, meaning Sargeant will serve five years total for both matters.

Operator: Hello, and welcome everyone to today's Commercial Metals Company Second Quarter 2013 Earnings Call. As always, today's call is being recorded. After the Company's remarks, we will have a question-and-answer session, and we'll have a few instructions at that time.
I would like to remind all participants that during the course of this conference call, the Company will make statements that provide information other than historical information and will include expectations regarding the Company's future prospects, revenues, expenses or profits. These statements are considered forward-looking statements and may involve speculation and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations. These statements reflect the Company's beliefs based on current conditions but are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are listed in the Company's press release and described in the Company's latest 10-K. Although CMC believes these statements are made based on management's expectations and assumptions, CMC offers no assurance that events or facts will happen as expected. All statements are made only as of this date. CMC does not assume any obligation to update them in connection with future events, new information or otherwise.
Some numbers presented will be non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations can be found in the Company's press release and on the Company's website.
Now for opening remarks and introductions, I would turn the call over to President and CEO of Commercial Metals Company, Mr. Joe Alvarado.
Joseph Alvarado - President and CEO: Good morning. Thank you for joining us to review CMC's fiscal 2013 second quarter results. I'll begin with highlights from quarter and Barbara will then provide further financial details relative to the results. Following Barbara I will close out with comments on our outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2013, after which we will open the call to questions.
In our results for the quarter as detailed in our earnings release this morning, we reported net sales of $1.7 billion for our fiscal 2013 second quarter, a decrease of 12% from net sales of $2 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales were down across most segments with the international segment having experienced the most difficult – had more significant sales decline when compared to the segment's strong second quarter last year. On the other hand, we did see an upward trend in sales in Americas Fabrication segment which is indicative of the emerging U.S. construction recovery.
For our fiscal second quarter, we reported net earnings of $4.6 million or $0.04 per share. While markets remain volatile, we are pleased to report a sixth consecutive quarter of profitability. As indicated in the earnings release, the Board of Directors declared our regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share for shareholders of record on April 9, 2013. The dividend will be paid on April 23, 2013.
As we anticipated and communicated when we last spoke in January, our fiscal second quarter results are affected by the normal seasonal effects of the winter and holiday month. This year's second quarter was no exception. In fact, we continue to see extended winter weather conditions in Poland which are also affecting the start of our fiscal third quarter. Ongoing economic challenges in the Eurozone and Australia and uncertain growth prospects in China also adversely affected second quarter results.

In past reviews, I've described what, in my book, deserve to be rated as the two top Thai restaurants in the metro. One is Bangkok Thai Deli and the other is On's Thai Kitchen—both located just blocks apart on University Avenue in St. Paul. However, as of a few months ago, Minneapolis can now claim its own best-in-class contender, Krungthep Thai Cuisine on Eat Street in the former Seafood Palace.
Actually, the quality of the food at Krungthep isn't a great surprise. A sister to Bangkok Thai, Krungthep's menu is virtually identical to its kin. The one exception: In Minneapolis, a daily fresh seafood board offers 15 or so choices that can be prepared in a half-dozen or more ways.
Once you get past the appetizers, it's Katy bar the door. There are so many choices, many of them not well known in these parts, that picking and choosing is a dizzying challenge. One definite worthwhile direction is the salad category. You won't go wrong with the nam tok—a classic mélange of grilled beef or pork, roasted rice powder, lime juice, mint, lemongrass, Thai chili pepper, and cilantro—or the house special shrimp salad, a largely similar combination incorporating shrimp. Our only folly was to order the salads seasoned to "medium." Although everyone in our group considered themselves heat seekers, that level of intensity proved more than expected. Ordering "mild" and having the option to spice things up with items from the table's condiment tray is a much more savvy way to go.
The curries are another good bet. Although the native Thai eater among us didn't think the gravies were prepared from scratch, and a couple of the ingredients weren't properly timed, there was no denying that both the panang curry and the deep bowl of green chicken curry with kaffir lime leaves, sweet basil, and eggplant were bursting with great flavors and textures.
Tom yum aficionados have two excellent hot pot preparations to choose between, with or without coconut milk. The light red rim around the edge of the soup vessel is a sign that the chili seasoning is an additive, but that doesn't diminish the otherwise terrific hot and sour character of the broth. And although pad Thai is one of those dishes that tends to be judged by personal rather than technical criteria, it's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying the very high-quality recipe used here.
The list of raves is lengthy and, considering the amazingly pocket-friendly prices, there's not much downside in letting your wild side experiment with some unfamiliar dishes. I can't wait to go back and try the stir-fried softshell crab in curry powder (or maybe one of the fresh Dungeness crab preparations), the steamed rice with fried egg and ground pork, and the stuffed chicken wings that are a knockout at Bangkok Thai.
I'm also eager to reprise the incredible taro custard, a rich and toothsome dessert that is one of the finest Asian sweets I've ever eaten. And if that isn't enough, we were told that the restaurant will soon have a wine and beer license as well as its own menu, which will be about half again as long as the first version.
Not since the departure of Royal Orchid has there been Thai cuisine in Minneapolis as authentic and enjoyable as that served at Krungthep Thai. 2523 Nicollet Ave., Mpls., 612-874-7721

A MILITARY-style band is desperate for a van so members can transport all their musical equipment to Jersey where they are due to play this summer.
The Yorkshire Band of the Royal British Legion is based at the Army Reserve Centre on Wakefield Road, Barnsley.
It has been running two years and is the only RBL band in Yorkshire, something members are very proud of says the musical director, Louise Lingard-Snape.
The band has now been invited to go to Jersey in August to play at various parks and at the Gorey Fete.
Louise said: "As the band and the trip is entirely self-funded, all members have been raising money for all the extras needed to take the band on a tour like this.
"We've had race nights, people have made and sold cards and explored every way to raise small amounts of cash to go towards the trip.
"The sticking point is getting the instruments and drums, music and equipment over there."
She said any drivers will be aged 40 or over with clean licences. The van would need to be available from Sunday, August 17 until Thursday, August 28 and be cleared to go to Jersey.
