DALLAS (SMU) - SMU swept Memphis on Senior Day in the Dedman Center Sunday, improving to 19-9 overall and 11-4 in the American Athletic Conference with the 12th 3-0 win of the season (25-18, 25-13, 25-18). Abbey Bybel led the Mustangs with 11 kills, and Caroline Young had 10, hitting .556 with no errors.
The Mustangs out-scored the Tigers (13-15, 5-9 American) 49 kills to 30, and hit .418 as a team, while holding Memphis to a .180 attack percentage. Freshman Morgan Heise had a match-high 13 digs and a kill, and Avery Acker recorded 37 assists and eight digs. Cailin Bula finished with nine, and Maddie Lozano posted seven kills and two blocks in her last home match at SMU. Senior Caroline Daly also recorded a block in the win.
After cruising to wins in the first two sets, the Tigers fought to keep the Mustangs from winning in three sets. SMU led by just two points after the first 30 serves of the set, 16-14, but a 6-2 run gave the Mustangs a 22-16 lead. Memphis was unable to threaten again, falling 25-18 in the third as SMU took the win.
Bula scored six kills on seven attacks to lead SMU to a 25-18 win in the first set. Memphis took a 7-4 lead to start the set, but a 9-4 run gave SMU a 14-12 lead. After the Tigers scored, cutting the lead to one, the Mustangs scored four straight to take an 18-13 lead. SMU held Memphis to just five more points to take the early advantage. The Mustangs hit .400 as a team in the set, and there were just nine attack errors between the two teams.
Bybel had five kills in the second set, matching the entire Memphis team, and SMU recorded 19 kills en route to a 25-13 win. SMU hit .533 as a team in the set, and held the Tigers to a .040 attack percentage. The Mustangs scored six of the first seven points, and Memphis never got within four points the rest of the way. Leading 19-13, SMU score the final six points to end the set.
The Mustangs begin a three match road trip at UCF Friday at 6 p.m. CT. SMU will play at USF on Sunday before concluding the regular season at Houston Nov. 27.

Manufacturer: M. Toulouse (View all products by Marcel Toulouse)
Model: Legano (View all Legano reviews)
Category: Jumping Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle at my local tack store, Saddlers Row. I believe I payed around seven hundred dollars for the saddle.
Likes: The leather on this saddle is so supple. it is one of the most comfortable saddles I have ridden in. Also the color looks really nice on my sorrel paint pony. I ride in hunter competitions and the saddle really gives off the clean, crisp appearance that is desired.
Dislikes: The only thing I do not like about this saddle is that the color from my tall boots has darkened part of the flaps.
Quality: The saddle is very nicely built and is of high quality. I have dropped it and it has not scratched, or gotten hurt at all.
Summary: This is a very comfortable, affordable, and beautiful saddle. Anyone that is looking for a classy, and sophisticated appearance, this is the saddle for you.

We're thinking of hiring house elves to do the clean-up after our cooking escapades, but they're a bit harder to track down than we imagined, so instead we're turning to items like the Hamilton Beach Thermal Cooler Blender ($18). A 48 oz thermal cooler allows you to blend and go while keeping your drinks cold up to 8 hours. An easy-pour spout and easy to carry handle might make keeping drinks in here a short-lived venture. With not a thing to wash, except a cooler to throw in the dish-washer - we'll take two!

The new — and hopefully better — solution for MTC expansion in Provo has required work on two fronts. First, the immediate and pressing need created as a consequence of last October's announcement had to be addressed. Figures shared with area residents during recent planning meetings indicate that there were 2,800 missionaries in the MTC when the announcement was made. Sometime this summer the number is expected to climb to about 7,800 missionaries before it eventually stabilizes at around 6,000 missionaries in 2016.
The church made two moves to respond to the immediate need. In January it announced that it would open a new MTC facility in Mexico City for missionaries called to serve in Mexico and other Latin American countries. And then in March church officials announced that they will open temporary MTC facilities in Provo at the Wyview Park and Raintree Commons apartment complexes.
Those two moves should provide immediate accommodations for up to 2,700 missionaries, taking significant pressure off of the existing Provo MTC facilities and allowing LDS leadership the time it needs to carefully evaluate their long-term options for expansion, Trotter said.
And that evaluation, Trotter continued, has included numerous meetings with area residents and Provo City planners to solicit input, ideas and support.
"Church representatives met with area residents multiple times to describe the need for growth of the MTC campus and to get feedback from the community," Trotter said. "While residents have varying opinions, significant adjustments have been made based on input from neighbors, Brigham Young University and Provo City. We are grateful for the time and energy invested by the community."
A big chunk of that time was spent last winter during a series of public meetings as well as meetings with individual property owners.
"It was fantastic," said Lorie Johnson, who cares for her mother in her family's home that borders the MTC campus on the west. "They presented a number of options, and then they listened to what we had to say. There were some really good ideas expressed, and (the church representatives) seemed to be really interested in what we had to say."
The process contrasted with what residents said happened with the announcement of the nine-story building, which they say was presented as a "done deal," with no input from them. When they objected to the tall building, which they felt would impact their views and property values, Johnson and Frey said they were portrayed by some in the community as being selfish and anti-church.
"We are definitely pro-missionary work and pro-MTC, and we understand and support the need for expansion," said Johnson, who was among the most vocal critics of the plan. "We're active members of the church. These are our children and grandchildren who are going on missions, and we are thrilled that they are going. It was totally unfair for people to say that we don't support the church and we don't support the missionary program."
Beginning just days after the church publicly discontinued its nine-story plan, the process for strategizing long-term MTC expansion was launched in a very different way.
"We had this planning meeting in November," said R. Paul Evans, chair of the Provo City Pleasant View Neighborhood Council. "They said they needed to double the capacity of the MTC. They presented a few ideas and then opened up the floor. It really felt like they wanted our input and they were listening."
Provo City officials also attended and participated in the planning meetings, said Bill Peperone, assistant director of community development for the city.
"I believe the two plans that have been suggested accurately portray input that was given at this planning meeting," Peperone said. "Because no formal application has been submitted to the city, there has not been sufficient review of the plans to form a formal preference or recommendation (from the city)."
However, Peperone did indicate that both plans have their advantages. The south plan, he said, "would minimize the need for missionaries to cross 900 East, which is a busy collector road" and likely to get busier as BYU closes streets on the interior of its campus. The northeast plan, he said, would have less visual impact on the Pleasant View neighborhood because the tallest buildings would be farther away.
Johnson, Evans and Frye indicated that although they have a definite preference for the northeastern plan, they can live with either plan — although they do have some concerns that would need to be worked out with the south plan, including the height of the buildings required to make everything fit in that smaller space. And in fairness, they pointed out that there are others in the neighborhood who prefer the south plan. In fact, a straw poll taken at one of the meetings showed strong support for both plans.
"We're not telling the church what to do — we're not making any demands," Johnson said. "I just love that they came and got our input. We've been asked to let them know what we think, and we have done that."
"They have a lot of things to consider here," Evans said. "It's their decision."

The old saying goes something like this, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." Well America, take a wild guess which part of that statement pertains to us. There were a bevy of faked news reports out from June of 2012 all the way through November 6, of the same year telling us all how rosy the economy truly looked. Those of us who bothered to look a little deeper into the numbers being fed to us by the usual culprits told you it was a sham. Yes the U-3 number dipped below 8%. However, we pointed out that the labor force participation rate needed to drop below a level not experienced since before the market crash of 1929 in order to achieve that number. Yes the GDP number started to show some semblance of what can only be termed as sluggish growth. However, those figures were due entirely to increases in government hiring and spending as well as hugely incentivized increases in manufacturing inventories. Undaunted by mere facts, America returned the man child President to the Oval Office on the premise that our economy was just starting to recover, and a change at this point would be foolish.
A funny thing happened on the way to economic recovery today. As it turns out, illusions can not be maintained forever. So, the gag is this, once the election is over, we get a glimpse of the harsh realities yet to come. Since manufacturers who produced those inventories didn't actually have orders for their wares, and were not capable of selling their product after the fact, those massive inventories will sit, the workers will be let go, and now as an added bonus, we elected a man to our top office who will do what ever he can to regulate any actual recovery out of existence. Yay! The stark reality is that our economy has slipped back into recession, and it did this before the economic damage done by the Obama Presidency reached its full potential. That thought should scare the pants off of anyone still awake, and if that does not do it, then the upcoming national hunger will. One of the major problems with relying on a recovery based entirely on growing the public sector is that governments don't actually produce anything, they merely confiscate from those who do produce. The results of following this path all the way to the inevitable conclusion are truly something to fear.
The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, defying expectations for slow growth and possibly providing incentive for more Federal Reserve stimulus.
The economy shrank from October through December for the first time since the recession ended, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. That's a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter.
The surprise contraction could raise fears about the economy's ability to handle tax increases that took effect in January and looming spending cuts.
Still, the weakness may be because of one-time factors. Government spending cuts and slower inventory growth subtracted a total of 2.6 percentage points from growth.
And those volatile categories offset faster growth in consumer spending, business investment and housing — the economy's core drivers of growth.
Another positive aspect of the report: For all of 2012, the economy expanded 2.2 percent, better than 2011's growth of 1.8 percent.
The economy may stay weak at the start of the year because Americans are coming to grips with an increase in Social Security taxes that has left them with less take-home pay.
Subpar growth has held back hiring. The economy has created about 150,000 jobs a month, on average, for the past two years. That's barely enough to reduce the unemployment rate, which has been 7.8 percent for the past two months.
I read a post at the Blogmocracy today that should be required reading for every high school and collegiate economics class taught in America. Hat tip to Coldwarrior. Take a good look at the picture at the top of the link. That man is holding a Ten Million Dollar Bill, made payable by the central bank of Zimbabwe. What makes it pertinent to today's essay is that Barack Obama's rhetoric is exactly the same as Robert Mugabe's. You would be able to take a stump speech from either man, and substitute it for the other, and no one would be able to tell the difference, save one. You will find it necessary to substitute the word rich for white in the Mugabe speech, and vice versa for the Obama speech in order to pull off the ruse.
The only result possible from continued government largess of this scale is wild inflationary pressure. The only possible result from demonizing the successful people who create wealth and following through on the promises made to punish those who do succeed is the complete loss of wealth for the entire society. Zimbabwe stands as that perfect laboratory as to what our future looks like should we continue along this path for a sufficient amount of time.
The reason it will take longer for us to reach these depths than it took Zimbabwe is because preceding generations had built sufficient wealth for us to cannibalize without noticing immediately the destructive nature of our ways. Capitalism, while it is not perfect, is the best system of economics in existence. Our first 212 years have allowed us to act foolishly for the next 24, without burning completely through daddy's money. But, just like Barbara Hutton, who's two grandfathers were Franklyn Hutton and F.W. Woolworth, it is possible to blow it all. She died penniless you see, after spending her entire adult life not working, not creating, and spending both fortunes as if consequences were petty little concerns for other people to worry about. She didn't notice either that she was going broke, and left no children behind. We, as Americans are not so lucky. We are leaving a generation or two, or possibly a dozen or more, who will have to pay for the mess that we are leaving them.
I guess the good news is that we have a tool to prevent Barack from accomplishing his ultimate goal, which is to see America turned into Zimbabwe. That tool is our Constitution, and last week Barack got slapped down by the Judicial Branch in a major league way. It seems as though a President can not just make up his own rules and then declare himself supreme after all. In this case, the Bamster had declared the Senate to be in recess, even though they weren't, and then made recess appointments to the NLRB, three of them. He got sued, and lost at the appellate level, and the result of the suit is that not one single ruling from the board made during the last year is binding in any way. We are more than half way through this thing now, and the damage that has been done can still be undone. It's just going to take a hell of a lot of work to get there.

The comments and discussions on the posts that run there are what makes the site worth the read, and the posts ain't bad either. What's more, differing points of view are welcome.

BMI, Blood Pressure, and Body Weight
The Cardio Blog relays some research that casts doubt on the BMI and the link between high blood pressure and body weight. Check it out:
A recent study published in the Epidemiology Journal questions the idea that BMI and blood pressure are tied together. The study -- which was done on the island nation of Seychelles -- found that as the number of people with a BMI over 25 rose, the association between BMI and hypertension decreased. The study likely raises more questions than it answers. How good of a measurement is BMI and how much of a role does obesity play in the development of high blood pressure?

So this string set arrived today, and it's freaking amazing. So amazing, that I'm not sure that even a custom designed low E could be any better than what is currently used.
The set uses a ZOG 10 RW with a B and an E added on. The feel from string to string is beautifully consistent. The low string sounds really beefy and responds well to playing dynamics. Best of all, it was a breeze to intonate the whole set.
The outer wrap of the low E actually starts about 1/2" after the saddle - like the taper on a low B bass string, except it's only a single wrap. The low B on my bass set has at least two layers of outer wrap tapering out at the bridge end of the string.
If you're playing in Drop E on a Schecter, I *highly* recommend giving one of these sets a try. His prices are good, so you're not going to be blowing a wad of cash to try it. The set should work for 27" scale as well. The outer wrap starting on the "speaking length" of the string actually makes it a LOT easier to intonate than if the full girth of the string was coming out of the saddle.
Right at this moment, I could not be happier!

CDC recommends 30 minutes of moderate activity per day. Now whether New Year's resolutions have been broken and that 150-minute weekly workout has been ignored is on an independent basis. But the American Heart Association is giving people another chance at fitness for National Walking Day on April 2.
A brisk walk is a sufficient daily workout for a moderate-level plan. At a moderate level, the heart is beating faster and taking breaths is a little faster than usual, but walkers can still hold a conversation. A vigorous level (jogging or running) workout is too active to hold a conversation. Another difference between the two is 140 calories burned for a half hour of walking versus 295 calories for jogging or running. Speedwalking at 4.5 miles per hour (mph) burns 230 calories.
For people who think walking isn't enough to keep off the pounds, try hiking to incorporate climbing plus a stroll, which is somewhere between the other two activities. Hiking burns 185 calories for a 30-minute workout.
More information on National Walking Day will come sometime this month. Click here for details.

When a woman called 999 in Britain, which is the equivalent to 911 in the U.S., she thought she had a little emergency on her hands. The woman called to say that she had just purchased an ice cream cone from a vender in an ice cream truck, but something was very wrong. Upon inspection she found that it only had sprinkles on one half of her cone, but not the other. She was irate and wanted help, according to Time News on June 3.
This is almost as urgent as having a bad hair day, having half of the ice cream cone missing sprinkles. The woman told the police dispatcher that the vender refused to fix her cone and make it look normal, which would mean putting sprinkles on the bare parts of her ice cream. The vendor refused, getting this woman even more aggravated.
Now she wanted the man to take back the ice cream cone and give her back her money. The man refused telling her she had to take the cone the way it was. Apparently the customer is not always right in a case like this. The 999 operator was calm and explained to the woman that this line was for real emergencies, like the ones that are between life and death.
According to the Metro.co.uk today, Chief Superintendent Jim Andronov said: "If someone is trying to get through to report a genuine life or death emergency, then a minute is a very long time to wait." He is trying to stress to the public that this line is to save lives and not a complaint line for all the little wrongs that fall upon you in the course of a day.
The West Midline Police Department in England released the ice cream 999 call. The police have been releasing the ridiculous calls that they field from time to time from people who are not in an emergency situation, but demand immediate help.
They are trying to raise awareness that these calls waste time when someone else could be injured or sick and needing the emergency attention. They have gotten calls about some of the most ludicrous situations, like the man who called because the prostitute he hired wasn't attractive enough. Did he really think there was a department that handle this type of complaint?
They also had someone call and rant about "undercooked waffles." It looks as if this unsatisfied ice cream customer made it to the hall of fame for the most insipid 999 emergency calls!

TC TO HENRY LARKIN ; 10 April 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570410-TC-HL-01; CL 32: 124-125
Chelsea, 10 April, 1857.
MY DEAR SIR,—After you were gone I began to remember that the Goethe (Wanderjahre) Introduction was not among the others in Appendix to Vol. I.1 Please put it there; they will thus all be in a lot,—and it will help the size of your volume, too. If you stick the above piece of MS.2 at the beginning of said Appendix (completing the footnote); and then will add, by way of footnote, at the end of each name, e.g.—From Musäus were translated Dumb Love (or whatever they are); from Tieck, &c.,3—we shall have that matter fairly winded up.
I find the other day there was a rather queer little Paper of mine, turning on the 'Opera,' printed in some Annual or other,—I cannot say in what London Annual,4 except that presumably it had once been Lady Blessington's, and that certainly this No. of it was published by Lady Blessington's Niece,5 next year or second-next after Lady B.'s death.6 Perhaps 1852 or 3? The Piece indisputably exists; I saw a piece of it yesterday, no farther gone. If you could fall in with any reservoir of extinct Annuals, or otherwise hunt up this Piece at any time, it would be ready against vol. 4 of Miscellanies.7 But do not mind much at all. I think I can inquire it out myself, by due expenditure of force, if hard come to hard. Or perhaps it may fall in of its own accord, from some quarter while we are going on.
This is enough for the present. We hope to see you again some evening before long.— Yours always truly,

We want to ride our bicycles. We want to ride our bikes. And while riding them, we'll celebrate all things two-wheeled by accessorizing with this Timed Race Watch Necklace ($28), which features an adorable vintage-style bicycle pendant with a cute little clock built in. It'll be a sweet way for us to see how late we end up being because we decided to pedal instead of taking the Corolla.
A Queen reference will get me every time!

Service members have been getting tattoos regularly since the Civil War. And according to most accounts, the very first tattoo parlors in the United States were for soldiers. According to PBS's excellent series, Skin Stories, a man named Martin Hildebrandt opened a tattoo shop in New York City in 1846 and "began a tradition by tattooing sailors and military servicemen from both sides of the Civil War."
As time passed, so did the increasing popularity of service members receiving tattoos. Some did it as badges of honor, some did it as a way to never forget what they've been through and some did it as a way to set themselves apart from the other service members. But for whatever their reasons for getting tattooed, they have not been as widely accepted by the military as they were by the servicemen and women who get them.
Just recently, there have been changes to the Army Regulations 670-1 that concern soldiers and tattoos. Getting a visible tattoo might be a thing of the past as these news regulations are expected to become policy in the next 30 to 60 days. Current Army regulation prohibits tattoos on the head, face and neck above the class-A uniform collar.
With the new policy in place, new recruits will not be allowed to have tattoos that show below the elbows and knees or above the neckline. However, current soldiers with tattoos that violate policy may be grandfathered in.
New recruits who have tattoos that violate policy will be ordered to remove the tattoo. This is a huge step up from the current regulation that states "commanders may not order the removal of a tattoo or brand. However, the commander must counsel soldiers, and afford them the opportunity to seek medical advice about removal or alteration of the tattoo or brand."
While each branch has its own tattoo policy in place, they all agree that racist, sexist or extremist tattoos are not allowed.
Here Are the Tattoo Rules for the Other Branches of Service
- No tattoos on the head, face, neck or scalp.
- Any tattoos on the torso area should not be visible through white uniform clothing.
- Tattoos that are visible while wearing short sleeves can be no larger than the individual's hand with fingers extended. However, tattoos that exceed the size criteria are waiverable provided they don't violate the content and/or location criteria.
Air Force
- No tattoos on the head, face, neck or scalp.
- Tattoos cannot exceed 25% of the exposed body part nor be readily visible when wearing any/all uniform combinations. Anything over 25% is deemed excessive.
- If tattoos are considered excessive, members are required to maintain complete coverage of the tattoo using current uniform items or remove the tattoo.
- No tattoos on the head, neck, hands, wrists, fingers and mouth.
- Sleeve tattoos are prohibited. (Sleeve is defined as a tattoo that covers or almost covers a person's entire arm or leg).
- Half-sleeve or quarter-sleeve tattoos that are visible when wearing standard PT gear cannot be larger than the individual's hand.
Officer's regulations
- No more than 4 tattoos visible in the standard PT uniform.
- Band tattoos (one that partially or fully encircles the circumference of the body part) exceeding two inches are prohibited.
- Enlisted marines with grandfathered tattoos are not eligible for the marine enlisted commissioning education program, warrant officer or any other enlisted-to-officer program.

SEATTLE - An additional five Huskies were selected at-large Tuesday to the NCAA Track and Field Championships, bringing to 16 the total number of Washington athletes who will travel to Sacramento, Calif., for the four-day meet, which begins June 8. Those 16, who will compete in nine different events, represent UW's largest NCAA Championships contingent in more than a decade.
The five selected at-large Tuesday -- including pole vaulter Carly Dockendorf, long jumper J.R. Wolfork, high jumper Norris Frederick and 1,500-meter competitors Lindsey Egerdahl and Amy Lia -- earned at-large berths via top-eight finishes at last weekend's NCAA West Regional, and season-best marks that ranked them ahead of top-eight finishers at other regionals. They join the 11 Huskies who earned automatic NCAA berths at the regional meet by virtue of top-five finishes in individual events, or top-three finishes in relays.
"Those folks all showed by their performances at the regional that they have what it takes to be champions," said head coach Greg Metcalf. "With so few NCAA berths up for grabs, the regional meet is a real pressure-cooker, and not everyone can handle that. This group, though, is as well-prepared for the pressures of the postseason as any I've coached. I can't wait to put them on the track in Sacramento."
Dockendorf's selection -- her second this year and third of her UW career -- officially gives Washington four women's pole vaulters in the NCAA field, including automatic qualifiers Ashley Wildhaber and Kellie DiVesta, and regional champ Kate Soma. Washington is the only school in NCAA history ever to send four women's vaulters to the NCAAs, having also done so indoors in 2005.
Of the other at-large qualifiers, Wolfork and Lia are first-time selections, while Egerdahl and Frederick will be making their second NCAA Championships appearances. Both were All-Americans indoors in 2005, two of a record 10 such honors earned by UW athletes at the meet.
"No doubt about it, this has been a great year for our program," said head coach Greg Metcalf, who has coached at least one UW squad to a top-30 NCAA Championships finish in each of his three years at the helm. "The next step is to consistently contend for Pac-10 and national titles. If this group is any indication of the direction we're headed, I honestly don't believe that goal is too far off."

Clark County commissioners have agreed to make a $292,500 payment to Schneider Electric, a company that held a contract with the county to build and operate a biomass plant. The money is to settle a contractual dispute stemming back to 2011.
The plant was to be fueled by timber byproducts and provide power to the county's downtown campus. But the project was scrapped in November 2011 after several setbacks, including the project losing the ability to apply for a U.S. Department of Treasury grant because the city of Vancouver ruled that a biomass plant was not allowed in the location the county desired.
That ruling was eventually overturned by a hearings examiner, but the city had already put in place an emergency six-month moratorium on the development of the plant.
Rather than fight the city, Schneider Electric elected to opt out of the contract. Under the opt-out clause, the county was liable for up to $395,000 of Schneider Electric's expenses.
The $292,500 payment was recommended by an independent mediator as a way to end the dispute over the value of work completed in the planning phases of the project. Commissioners David Madore and Tom Mielke approved the payment as part of the commissioners' consent agenda on Tuesday. Commissioner Steve Stuart was ill on Tuesday.
The contract was originally approved by Mielke and Commissioner Marc Boldt, who is no longer on the board. Stuart opposed the contract at the time, saying he saw issues with how the city was responding to the project and with language in the contract that allowed Schneider Electric to opt out and still be paid.
"It just wasn't a good contract," Stuart said. "It was one-sided in their ability to get out and get paid. And that is what they did. I don't blame (Mielke and Boldt) for it, but that is the reason I didn't sign it."
Mielke said he's frustrated by the payment, but said he believes the biomass plant was a viable power option for the county.
"I still believe it was a viable project," Mielke said. "But here we sit with egg on our face because we tried to do the right thing."
Mielke said the dispute over how much was owed came after commissioners signed off on work for a second phase of development just before a Friday deadline.
"Then on Monday they terminated the contract," Mielke said. "I'm not happy with this, with the number (we have to pay), but it's a business decision."
Mielke also said he intends to meet with the city of Vancouver over the matter to discuss what role they played in the broken contract.
"We believe the city has some liability in this," Mielke said. "They soured the water, so to speak."
Mielke said he doesn't have a figure for how much he thinks the city should pay, saying "we need to talk to them first."
Mielke said it is unlikely the county will consider a plant in the downtown Vancouver area again, but he still sees viability in biomass. One option, Mielke said, is to consider locations near Chelatchie Prairie.

A press release yesterday on marketwatch.com reports that Eli Lilly and Company announced expected performance for 2014. Fourth quarter and full 2013 results are expected to be announced at the end of January and are expected to remain unchanged. According to John C. Lechleiter the chairman, president and CEO, the strategic focus continues to be on three main areas: replenishing and advancing their pipeline of new medicines, sustaining strong performance of currently marketed brands, and driving productivity gains to allow funding of R&D, launch of products and shareholder dividends.
Expiration of patents including Cymbalta® and Evista® (this March) is expected to substantially reduce sales on those lines but other patented lines such as Cialis®, Humalog ® and Trajenta® are expected to show growth to help offset these losses. Revenue is expected to be the in the range of $19.2 to $19.8 billion. Earnings per share of $2.77 to $2.85 are expected for 2014. Thirteen potential new medicines are in Phase III development or submission stage. A gross margin of 74 percent is expected in 2014. A decrease in operating expenses is expected. R&D expenses are expected to be 4.4 to $4.7 billion. Net income of $3 billion and cash flow of $4 billion are expected. A webcast of the conference call can be found online at Lilly's website.

I've recently been introduced to WMI, and find it really cool.
Maybe my brain's just not in gear, but what similar tools exist for *nix like WMI?
SNMP is the most common protocol for this kind of work. Net-SNMP is the "reference" implementation:
They have an excellent wiki with tutorials, examples, documentation, and programming resources:
It's open source (GPL) and supports all the major platforms, including most every Linux distro, the *BSD UNIXes, Mac OSX, and Windows. The project site hosts MSI installers for Windows, but you probably want to use the disto-specific packages for other platforms.
But SNMP has some significant differences from WMI, and there are a lot of WMI features that SNMP doesn't support. There is a newer alternative called WBEM (web-based enterprise management). (Coincidentally, WMI is actually the MS implementation of WBEM for Windows.)
The OpenPegasus project is an open-source WBEM implementation:
It runs on Linux, at least, but I don't know about any other platforms. I know there are good OpenPegasus packages for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS, but I don't know about other distros.
Currently, SNMP is far more common than WBEM, at least on Linux and UNIX. Also, most managed networking equipment (routers, switches, load balancers, etc.) support SNMP exclusively. SNMP has been the Linux/UNIX/Cisco standard for more than a decade, and it isn't going to disappear anytime, soon.
openpegasus is an open source implementation DMTF CIM and WBEM standards (which WMI is a superset of). Most commercial Unixes have a WBEM implementation. SNMP is to WMI what a bicycle is to a car. SNMP is set up for monitoring information from a device, WMI is deisnged to allow you to manage a device as well as monitor it, E.G. SNMP has no concept of events and subscribers.
WMI is based on WBEM (web-based enterprise management), which a quick Google (for
squillman is right though, it's not that great, although it can come in handy for some quick 'n' dirty reporting.

Make-Ahead Easter ProjectMonday, March 12, 2012
While strolling the aisles of the craft store a few days ago, I was noticing all the pretty colors used in the Easter decorations.
Many of the pastels reminded me of all the beautiful colors of DMC Pearl Cotton Variations, and sparked an idea. When I got home, I whipped up a set of four Easter Egg Napkins, embroidered in chain stitch and straight stitch.
Choose your favorite combination of Easter colors, print the pattern (given here as a jpg so you can save it to your desk top and print it in youor desired size) and work the simple pattern on pre-made napkins.
Perfect for Easter Brunch, they're so quick and easy, you can whip up a batch for the entire family in a flash!

House plants can be more than visually pleasing elements of home decor -- they can also help clean the air in your house. Many of us spend almost all of our time indoors, especially during these cold winter days. Yet we don't realize that the air inside our workplaces and homes can be as bad, or even worse, than the air outside.
Studies by numerous agencies, including Health Canada and even NASA, have found that inside air can contain a wide range of harmful substances including Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), such as benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and a number of others. Many are toxic, causing health problems ranging from skin irritation to cancer and birth defects. While many of these are naturally occurring, additional and potentially harmful amounts are released into our air from construction materials, floor coverings, electronics and numerous other household items and substances. More information on indoor air quality can be found online at the Health Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC) Web sites.
All plants contribute to air quality indoors and out by removing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and can help increase the humidity in the home. But research by NASA found that plants are so efficient at absorbing contaminants in the air that some will be launched into space as part of the biological life support system aboard future orbiting space stations.
Dr. Bill Wolverton, formerly of NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center, found that many plants can remove certain pollutants from the indoor environment. A number of members of the palm family, as well as English ivy, ficus, Boston fern and even the lowly spider plant, among others can remove substantial amounts of contaminants from the air.
But sticking a couple of ficus in a window won't do the trick. NASA estimates that at least 15 to 20 of the recommended plants are needed to clean the air in an 1,800 square foot home. Don't be concerned though -- the need for a number of plants opens the door to numerous design possibilities in your home. Just remember to put large plants in large spaces and vice versa, and use pots that complement your existing decor.
Plants have differing needs for light, water and nutrients. While a south-facing window, especially if there is nothing to block the sun's reflection off the snow, can often be enough for some plants, Darin Wheatley of B&B Hydroponics, recommends adding some supplemental lighting. He said there are compact fluorescent light bulbs on the market that fit into an ordinary lamp socket and provide plants with the full spectrum of light they need.
Wheatley also suggests the use of hydroculture, where plants are grown in soilless medium, for people who may be sensitive to the moulds and fungus that may develop in the soil.

No doubt, with the star t of school, your kids are coming home, hot, tired and hungry. Most likely they'll reach for the fastest thing available on the pantry shelf: potato chips, candy cookies, soda. If you don't want them filling up on all that sugar and/or carbohydrates, it's a good idea to have healthy snacks at hand.
Julienne carrots and celery and keep them in a container in the refrigeration. When the kids come home, arrange the carrots in small cups with a container of ranch dressing. Grapes are a handy finger food your kids will love.
If you're looking for something a little more 'fun', try this recipe below from Parenting.
• 2 cups of your kid's favorite juice
• 2 packets of unflavored gelatin
• 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)
Pour 1/2 cup of juice in a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over it. While this sits, heat the remaining juice to boil (can do this in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes). Pour hot juice over juice and gelatin mixture and stir, adding in extra sugar if desired. Pour mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan and chill for three hours, or until firm. Cut into squares.
Sitting down for an afternoon snack is an ideal way to transition between school and home and good way to spend time chatting with your children about their day.

This is a discussion on Do you see value in standardizing your firearms? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I can see some pluses to standardizing you guns, but I don't do it. I like variety in my life....

"To believe that social reforms can eradicate evil altogether is to forget that evil is a protean creature, forever assuming a new shape when deprived of an old one." - SAT
Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
I prefer standardization (SA XD9 platform) for most defensive reasons, but I do see the use in having different guns available, such as a snubby for a coat pocket or a LCP/Kahr 9mm for situations that require a bit more discretion, or a .357 or .44 revolver for woods carry. Different tools for different occasions.
"It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath we will hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood, until it rains down from the skies. Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles that every man from every faith can embrace." -McManus twins Boondock Saints
I don't have a large number of guns and the handguns aren't standardized in any characteistic. Long guns seem to be a random assortment; a .22lr (Magtech, an "inexpensive" Brazilian import) and a .22WMR (Savage 640KS). The shotguns are all 20 gauge, by conscious choice: a New Haven (Mossberg) pump w/28" barrel, a Remingtion 1100 w/18" barrel, and a Savage Model 24 in 20 gauge and 30-30. I just didn't want to have multiple shotgun gauge ammunition choices. I only need to keep straight on the type of load in the shells.
The other thing I recently noticed that's "standardized" in the long guns is that they all have wood furniture, no plastic. Only the .22lr was bought brand new; the rest are older models in pretty good condition. I'll have to think about that next time I consider a purchase! I do like the wood over the plastic...
The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.

After reading all of the diverse opinions, I need to add my answer was with respect to my CHL hand guns:I still have some "others", but I would not change a carry weapon at this point. Can I operate others? Yes, but they would never be in a carry "rotation". It is fun to read others answers, especially when they have the experience and ability to rotate through many different platforms.Absolutely! As someone late to handguns at 50+, having a standard manual of arms simplified training, reduced the training curve, and allowed the leveraging of skills late acquired. I also standardized caliber for a number of years (9 mm).Yes, I can and do.Can you jump from a car with an automatic transmission to one with a stick shift? I can, and I do it a few times a week.
The difference is I have driven both sticks and automatics the last 40 plus years, whereas I did not begin shooting handguns that long ago.Really? Right. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson take different sets of clubs out every week just for the challenge?dumbing down of one's capabilities
If I had started shooting at age 10 or 12, and had owned several different platforms over the years, yea, muscle memory might not be that big of a deal.............
I don't think it's "dumbing down", but whatever.............
I have worked with the Internal Revenue Code, the Regulations thereunder, the Administrative Promulgations, the Court Cases and most of the 50 states' equivalents for 35 plus years. Would "simplification" or "standardization" be considered "dumbing down" by me?
Nope. It'd be a relief at this point.

I do see "value" in it as the question asks, however I think it depends how much time and effort you put into training with these different weapons platforms. If you train daily then
sure you could switch between weapons however if you train monthly I would suggest sticking with the same basic platform.
Aside from Glocks, I like any quality handgun 9mm or 38 and above.

Buy and shoot what you like and you might find that standardization can occur just from preference rather than concerted effort. For me, through the processes of aquisition and elimination, I've ended up owning 1911s and S&W DA revolvers and very little else.
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge or jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - LtCol Jeff Cooper
That's like asking, "Do you still beat your wife?" Of course there is some sort of value in standardizing you rfirearms, just as there is some sort of value in not doing so. Some wish to have handguns all of one caliber; some wish to have many calibers. There's value in both.

I dont know if I would really call it standardization but all my weapons now have a constant trigger pull, either SAO or DAO. I just dont like the DA/SA transition.
Glock 36, 30SF, 31, 32, 21 Gen4 - Carry guns
Ruger Mini-14 and Remington 870 by the bed both wearing Surefire lights.
Always carry a knife-they are handy to have
Always carry a reload-You probably won't need it but it is good insurance .
Always carry a light- To see in the dark
Simply put ... If I need it, I want it, I like it, then I'll buy it. So If it's practical for me it's in my stable too.
I have several Kahrs, a Glock, a Ruger LCP for ultra concealment and several revolvers in .38 or .357. All calibers except the ruger are 9mm, .45 or .38/.357. I did this deliberately as I wanted all my weapons to be double-action/no safety, and I woke up one day and saw I had five or six different pistol calibers in my safe, so I thought it wise to consolidate.
I agree that one should be knowledegable on the major platforms (1911, DA/SA semis, etc.) but it makes sense to me that in the unfortunate event I have to draw my weapon in defense, I will be amped beyond belief and having the same essential movement operate all my pistols will be an advantage. I like to think I'm a cool customer who would remember to sweep the safey, but what if I'm not? Why bother to find out when you can remove the potential for the error, assuming you are comfortable with your trigger finger discipline? Of course, some folks train extensively and I respect that they might have superior capabilities to mine, but for me, it makes sense.
"Some men, you just can't reach"
I can see some benefit to having similiar guns, such as the G17, 26, et. al., but I don't really think of standardizing when I look at the relative merits of a pistol. Most cases, for me, the differences in aesthitics and ergonomics are less meaningful than simply whether I like the gun and it has any usefulness for me.
The comments about multiple platforms are also pertinent; not being familiar with a feel and operation in your hand could be detriment to your good health in a bad situation. I'd bet you could also make an argument that different ergonomics are better on your hands, particularly nerve endings and the like. I know after a couple of hundred rounds in my PM9 my hand is happy to have the G17, the H&K or the Ruger to shoot for a while.
I'm in favor of gun control -- I think every citizen should have control of a gun.
1 Thess. 5:16-18
Parroting others, my opinion is standardize for self defense, and then enjoy variety for recreation.
Exercise your 2nd amendment rights....not doing so jeopardizes that right for everyone.
I shoot/collect S&W pre lock wheel guns ONLY. It is easier to become a 'expert' knowledge wise with ONE model than the hundreds out there.

Mad River Valley | Vermont's Snow Globe
It seemed that almost everywhere I turned in Waitsfield, I found someone making something, or selling an item someone close by had made. At the village's 4orty Bridge Boutique, the proprietor brewed me an espresso while I admired a display of handcrafted gold jewelry. "Those pieces are all made by Sheri DeFlavio, here in town," she told me, nodding in the artisan's direction as if she were in the next room.
Standing at the intersection of Mad River Valley creativity and the local passion for winter sports is Dave Sellers, inventor of the Mad River Rocket. Dave, an architect, has designed homes and public buildings all over the world, and has taught at Yale—but his local notoriety derives from what has been described as his "sled on steroids."
"I tried to design an alternative to skiing," Dave told me as we sat in his happily cluttered office at the edge of Warren village. "Skiing is expensive, and energy intensive. With the Mad River Rocket, you get a lifetime pass for $100—the cost of the sled—and you have 50,000 acres of sledding terrain in Vermont alone."
The sturdy plastic Rocket differs from traditional sleds in two important ways. First, you ride it while kneeling, with a knee strap securing you to the sled. And second, it has what Dave calls a "negative keel": Instead of digging down, the square-shaped channel of the inverted "keel" creates its own monorail out of snow as it makes its descent.
"It's the only wilderness sled in the world," Dave says. "You can take it to the top of any mountain in Vermont and ride down. There'll never be an instructor, because it's so easy to learn. We'll take any conditions that nature provides, except ice, and we want to challenge skiing."
Dave Sellers also challenges the throwaway culture of the modern era with his Madsonian Museum of Industrial Design, located in a rambling old house near the Village Bridge in Waitsfield. "It's a collection of stuff that's beautifully made, stuff that lasts," he explains. At the Madsonian, you just might find that toaster or electric fan that you wish you'd kept, or maybe still have.
The Valley is a hub of Vermont's local food culture, as well, as I learned from Karen Nevin. "Everything has to do with local farmers," she says. "Most of the world has farmers' markets in the summer; we have them year-round (info at WaitsfieldFarmersMarket.com and VermontLocalvore.org). Winter markets are held either at the Inn at Round Barn Farm or at the Big Picture Theater. I buy my pork here, my beef there … I know my cow."
I got a sense of just how committed Valley people are to the locavore ideal when I dropped in for dinner at the Big Picture Theater & Café. Tucked just across the lobby from Waitsfield's little movie theater, the café is a cheerful array of snug booths with a nice comfort-food menu. The "Big Picture Burger" came with local blue cheese and sautéed mushrooms, on a brioche. It had the unmistakable flavor of grass-fed beef, and, after I'd finished and was sipping the last of my Tuesday-night special $5 Chianti, I asked the waitress where the beef was from. That's something you do only in places like the Mad River Valley. She answered, "Oh, do you know where Helm's place is?"
"No," I said to her, "I'm not from around here."
"Well, his name is Helmut Nottermann. Wait a minute, I'll ask." She went over to the kitchen, talked with a co-worker, and came back to tell me "Snug Valley Farm." It was, apparently, only about 50 miles away, in East Hardwick. Know your cow.
While I finished my wine, I listened to Dylan on the restaurant's stereo and decided whether I wanted to trundle across the lobby to see the latest James Bond movie, or tuck into my four-poster at the Yellow Farmhouse Inn to read. I chose the latter, remembering the help-yourself tea selection and the cornmeal–lemon–almond crackers on the sideboard. It just didn't seem like a night for techno-mayhem … and I couldn't picture James Bond asking where his burger came from, even though he does get picky about how his martinis are mixed. (Shaken or stirred, by the way, they're the Big Picture's Saturday special at $5 a pop.)
In the morning, fortified by the inn's French toast and baked pineapple squares, on my last day in the valley I slid aboard one of Mad River Glen's single chairs. It seemed odd, making the ascent in my own private seat, but early on a weekday like this I probably would have been alone on a double. It was so early, in fact, that I was treated to first tracks in six inches of fresh powder at the summit.
To the east, the morning mist had just cleared from the peaks of the Northfield range, and before kicking off onto one of Mad River's "Ski It If You Can" trails, I paused to take in that valley view I'd first seen from the opposite hills. Again I looked into Vermont's snow globe—looked and then plunged inside. I shook the powder, and watched it whirl around me.

PM Netanyahu: One year after Operation Pillar of Defense
Deterrence is achieved by the enemy's knowing that we will not tolerate attacks on our communities and our soldiers, and that we will respond in great strength.
Copyright: GPO
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (Tuesday, 12 November 2013) visited the IDF Gaza Division, to mark one year since
Operation Pillar of Defense
. During the visit, he received security briefings from Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon, Deputy IDF Chief-of-Staff Maj.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot and GOC Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Shlomo Turgeman.
At the start of the visit, Prime Minister Netanyahu said:
"We are marking one year since Operation Pillar of Defense. The numbers are sharp. There has been a
98% decline in high-trajectory firing
. It seems that most of the firing has been ineffective; there have been 35 instances. There is no doubt that significant deterrence has been achieved.
However, we are not deluding ourselves. We know that Hamas and the other terrorist organizations are continuing to arm themselves in various ways. They are also trying to develop the underground track, i.e.
, and we are called upon to find a response to all of these threats and, at the same time, continue the strong deterrence that we have achieved and which we are maintaining.
In the end, this deterrence is achieved by the enemy's knowing that we will not tolerate attacks on our communities and our soldiers, and that we will respond in great strength. This is the foundation of our deterrence. The means serve this sense and this policy but this is the foundation of deterrence.
At the same time, we have worked to close the Sinai border. There, Israel is, in effect, the first country that has succeeded to a large degree, one might say even to an absolute degree, in closing its borders. In the past three months there have been no entries into the State of Israel. This is a very major success on the part of the Government, the IDF and the other intelligence systems that have been established along this barrier.
These two matters – the war against terrorism, including the continuing deterrence and finding answers to new threats, alongside guarding our borders, are among the principal missions that we are committed to carrying out, and not just in this sector."
At the conclusion of his visit, the Prime Minister said:
"Hamas is manufacturing and storing missiles and rockets that are concentrated in residential buildings and aimed at Israeli citizens. Israel will continue to strictly uphold international law but will not sit on its hands in the face of terrorists who perpetrate two war crimes at the same time: They are prepared to fire at Israeli cities and are hiding behind civilians in the Gaza Strip.
It is our full legal and moral right to direct fire – that is as precise as possible – at those who fire indiscriminately at our people. The responsibility for any collateral damage that is liable to be caused to the residents of Gaza lies squarely on Hamas's shoulders. I would like to express my appreciation and that of the nation to the IDF and the security forces in the sector."

CARY, NC - In the first-ever NCAA Women's Soccer Championship game decided by penalty kicks, the No. 14-seeded UCLA women's soccer team fell just short of its quest for a national championship, 1-1 (4-3 on penalty kicks).
The five-penalty kick phase ended in a 3-3 tie, as UCLA converted its final two attempts to force the game into sudden death. Notre Dame scored on its first attempt in sudden death and the Bruins were unable to convert, giving Notre Dame its second NCAA title. The Bruins finished with a record of 18-7.
Both teams managed goals in regulation, with the Bruins scoring first in the 60th minute (59:30) following an own goal by the Irish. Bruin midfielder Jill Oakes hit a long ball up to forward Iris Mora, however the ball was intercepted by Notre Dame's Gudrun Gunnarsdottir. With Mora right on her back, Gunnarsdottir tried to hit the ball back to goalkeeper Erika Bohn, but the ball was hit too wide and dribbled into the goal despite a diving attempt by Bohn to get a foot on it.
Notre Dame evened the match at the 73:10 mark on a penalty kick by forward Katie Thorlakson. Bruin defender Mary Castelanelli was called for bringing Thorlakson down right inside the top of the box.
UCLA had a chance to take a 2-1 lead with five minutes left in regulation after Mora was brought down in the box by Notre Dame's Melissa Tancredi. Bruin defender Kendal Billingsley took the ensuing penalty kick, however Bohn guessed correctly, making a diving save on Billingsley's shot that was aimed at the top-right corner.
