text: 000 FXUS62 KTAE 260001 AFDTAE Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tallahassee FL 801 PM EDT MON JUL 25 2016 .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... As of 00z, isolated showers were mainly along the coastal areas of the Florida Panhandle. Deeper moisture is located just south of the area in association with a weak trough, and models indicate that this airmass will move northward overnight. Some increase in convective coverage is expected before daybreak across the coastal waters and portions of the panhandle as a result. && .SHORT TERM [Tuesday Through Wednesday Night]... Operational model guidance remains consistent with progressing the TUTT low currently located over the northern Gulf of Mexico westward tomorrow. This will yield southerly flow across the eastern Gulf region tomorrow, allowing deep layer moisture to advect northward across much of the region. PWATs across the tri-state region will approach the 2" mark tomorrow. This, along with moderate instability will allow for more widespread coverage of convection across the region. As a result, the POP grids reflect widespread Chc POPs across the region with Likely POPs across the western third of the forecast area. Wednesday, deep layer ridging will begin to build back into the area as the Bermuda High backs into the area once again. This will mark a return to the normal summertime pattern. Though there are some discrepancies from model to model regarding timing and magnitude, the general consensus is that drier mid/upper level air will filter into the region once again which would somewhat limit convective coverage across the region. As a result, POPs will generally run 20- 30% lower than on Tuesday, with the best chances being confined to western portions of the forecast area. Afternoon highs will run in the upper 80s to mid 90s from south to north across the region, with lows in the mid 70s inland and upper 70s near the coast. Heat indices will range in the upper 90s to lower 100s. .LONG TERM [Thursday Through Monday]... Deep layer high pressure will be in place through the long term period with a seasonably moist airmass underneath. This will yield typical summertime thunderstorm chances associated with the sea- breeze across the tri-state region each afternoon and evening. Afternoon highs will run just above seasonal normals - in the mid to upper 90s, with overnight lows in the mid 70s inland and upper 70s near coastal locales. .AVIATION [Through 00Z Wednesday]... Additional moisture is expected to move into the area overnight with an increase in convective coverage beginning along the coast around dawn and spreading inland during the day on Tuesday. otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to prevail outside of convection. .MARINE... Southerly winds of 15 knots or less will persist through the next several days, resulting in seas of 2 to 3 feet. Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage across coastal waters overnight and through Tuesday before becoming more isolated Wednesday through the end of the week. .FIRE WEATHER... Aside from high dispersion values across inland portions of the Tri- state region on Tuesday, there are no other fire weather concerns for the next several days. .HYDROLOGY... No widespread flooding concerns are anticipated through the period. However, isolated/localized flooding can`t be ruled out through mid-week (especially Tuesday) with increased coverage of showers and thunderstorms and weak steering flow in place across the region. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

olywrote a review of DAKINE Frankie Backpack - 1600cu in - Women's on June 29, 2016
nice backpack
Familiarity: I've used it several times
"I absolutely LOVE this backpack. It is large, spacious, and has many pockets perfect for organization. The laptop compartment is bigger than I thought it would be and easily holds my large laptop with room to spare. Additionally, the material is strong and durable and does not easily succumb to wear-and-tear. This is an excellent choice to make - especially if you are a college/high school student carrying a lot in your backpack."

I'm am just about as anal as someone can be about their discs. I don't loan them out to friends or family. I don't have children to smudge and scratch the discs. I take them out, play them, and place them back in their case. Actually, many of the discs below haven't even been watched yet.

Summers can be overwhelming for Youth Ministers – with so many different events offered that bless the teenage soul, how does a Leader discern which opportunities are the best "fit" for the teens in their specific youth group? When do you take teens to camp for a week and when is the young soul ready for Leadership Training?
The good news is that Life Teen has a little something for every teen and every parish. We're here to help ensure that all teens – no matter where they are on their faith journey – have an encounter with the God Who loves them and the Church He loved us enough to begin.
Each summer, Life Teen hosts four different Steubenville Youth Conferences (East, West, NYC, and Atlanta) with the hopes of strengthening and inspiring teens and youth groups in their collective journeys to Christ. Evangelistic in nature, these weekend conferences are both a great "introduction" to the Gospel message for new or younger teens, while offering deep and moving experiences of prayer and fellowship for even your Youth Group regulars.
Come let our Life Teen Staff and volunteers spoil you – you work so hard for the teens and their families…let us work hard for you. Give your own spirit the gift of renewal and give your teens the inspiration they need to renew not only your youth group but your entire parish community. Join us for a weekend of engaging liturgies, inspiring music, challenging talks and overwhelming joy.
Franciscan University of Steubenville offers 23 Conferences total and Life Teen has the pleasure of hosting 5 of those conferences (Atlanta, East, West, NYC & Lone Star). We invite you to come to one of our conference because we believe they offer some unique experiences. Here's how a Steubenville Conference hosted by Life Teen can benefit you, your teens, and their parents.
One of St. Augustine's most famous quotes is, "Our hearts are restless until they rest in you, O Lord." These words often describe the spiritual angst that teenagers experience throughout their high school years. Every teen has the desire to achieve something great and to be someone great. We see this desire played out on social media daily. At a Steubenville Conference, teens will learn what it takes to be great in this life. Teens will come to experience a relationship with Christ that can radically transform everything in their life. The goal of every Steubenville Conference is for teens to open their hearts to Jesus Christ who desires their lives to be fulfilling, exciting, and joyful!
Being a youth minister is one of the most important tasks in the Church today. Throughout the year, youth ministers work tirelessly to evangelize and catechize the teens in their parishes. Attending a Steubenville Conference provides youth ministers the freedom to not have to worry about content preparation and instead focus on the relational ministry that is so necessary in every parish. This conference can be the launching point for discipleship, peer leadership, deeper prayer and a ministry rooted in the sacraments. You just have to get the teens there…and we'll worry about the rest! Beyond, this weekend Life Teen has dedicated full-time staff to support your ministry throughout the year. We want to help you make sure the seeds that are sown on this weekend are nurtured throughout the year at your parish.
Parents are the "primary catechists" of their teens and this is a daunting task when trying to navigate the ups and downs of a teen's high school years. Between all the extra curricular commitments and academic obligations it can seem near impossible to make church a priority for teens. A Steubenville Conference often has the ability to give teens the spiritual boost that Catholic parents desire for their teens. Many teens have been known to come back from a Steubenville Conference not only renewed in their faith, but taking the lead to initiate prayer within their own family. Imagine how your teen will feel knowing after a Steubenville Conference that the Church is dynamic, alive, and full of hope just like them.

All sessions, breakouts, and dining for Steubenville Atlanta are located at the Infinite Energy Convention Center about thirty minutes north of Atlanta. All hotels are in the Duluth, Georgia area as well – either at the same exit or an exit or two away. When reserving your hotel, check how far the hotel is from the convention center to help with planning.
Incoming high school freshman and graduated high school seniors. All chaperones, must be over 21 years old or in line with your diocesan policy. If you are between 18-21, you may attend the conference as a small group leader with your group and NOT a chaperone.
We are currently accepting volunteers for Steubenville Atlanta. Please contact Julie Brown for more information: firstname.lastname@example.com
Housing will be in hotels within five miles of Infinite Energy Center. See section on recommended hotels. Remember, group leaders reserve their own rooms.
Life Teen Steubenville Atlanta highly encourages priest participation. Priests are a wonderful witness and their presence helps young people consider this great vocation. We are greatly in need of priests during the conference to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Remember their registration fee is free and that a Priest Information form is required.
We are here to make registration easy! Click on the BLUE registration link below to get started. You will reserve your spots online this year and receive confirmation through email. For more detailed registration procedures click on the Group Leader check list below. Contact Erika Rosa at 480-820-7001 or by emailing email@example.com with any questions you may have.
The guidelines from the Archdiocese of Atlanta require 1 adult chaperone per 8 teenagers. No teenagers will be allowed to drive to or from the conference site.
Do you have teens in your group who show leadership qualities that would like to participate in a leadership week leading up to the conference? Steubenville offers a great opportunity for a small group of teens to take part in LEAD week. For more information and to apply please click here.
Although we strongly support Catholic family life, our staffing, facility constraints, and insurance regulations do not allow us to provide childcare. Meeting rooms and residence halls are not designed for the care of young children. In addition, the focus of the Adult Chaperones/Group Leader need to be on the youth participants. If these adults bring their own children, their focus will be split. With the best care of the youth in mind, this is not allowed.
Other housing arrangements must be made for bus drivers. Remember to mention Steubenville Atlanta/Life Teen at your hotel.
Please inform Erika Rosa in the registration office as soon as possible of any special disability needs an individual in your group may have. For example, we can arrange to have an interpreter for someone who is hearing impaired during parts of the conference or have special meals prepared. We need to know this in advance, however, in order to do our best to accommodate your specific needs.
We do have a limited amount of scholarship money available. To apply for these funds, please download the form here: Scholarship Form

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson won a horror slasher game last weekend. 12 people died but he scored an Applebee's gift card.
The Charge
Obey the rules or face the consequences.
Opening Statement
In the spirit of movies like Saw and Unknown comes…a movie like those other movies I just said.
Facts of the Case
A young woman named Tonya (Ailsa Marshall) wakes up naked in a room, surrounded by strangers with no recollection how she got there. She and her comrades are clad in color-coded jumpsuits, issued numbers and shackled with collars that can be activated if anyone tries to escape, which of course leads to a painful death. Someone has forced these people into playing a maniacal game, offering them cryptic clues, daring them to find a way out.
One by one, each participant in the game is dispatched with extreme prejudice and/or forced into impossible choices. Who's dicking them around? Is it possible the perpetrator is among them?
The Evidence
If you like these kinds of horror mystery game movies, I think you'll find something of value in Breathing Room. It's a taut, well-made whodunit, featuring some strong performances and a twisty-turny, serpentine plot that culminates in a frustratingly opaque finale, but will likely be weird enough to repel resentment.
This is a decidedly low-budget production. I'd say 98% of the film takes place in the abandoned warehouse space where our characters are forced to play the game. And the gore effects are more after-the-fact set-ups than actual killing gags that would no doubt sap even more financial resources from the filmmakers. Despite that, Breathing Room comes across as having a top-shelf pedigree, which is a compliment that can pretty much be laid completely at the feet of the actors.
Headliner Ailsa Taylor is good as the terrified newbie, and, gradually, the thread that holds the other performances together. Muchael McLafferty earns big thumbs up for essentially being the hero of the thing. Supporting performances are interesting, if not a smidge one-dimensional (a-hole guy, wacky Christian lady, creepy fat nerd guy).
The game challenges themselves aren't nearly as interesting as the characters' reactions to them. In fact, only one challenge was memorable: one of the player's grand-daughter is held hostage and will be killed unless said player kills somebody. It's a nice piece of tension. There are clues and anagrams and so on and so forth, but nothing terribly clever.
Which brings me to the ending. You know, I couldn't spoil it even if I wanted to. I hate to be That Guy, the one who never gets the big twists, but I've been just striking out trying to deduce what the @#$% happened at the end. It's frustrating and, frankly, hurts the bottom line of the film.
Anchor Bay issued a no-frills DVD, with no extras, a passable 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and a 2.0 stereo audio mix.
Closing Statement
Aside from a convoluted denouement, Breathing Room fits nicely into the horror whodunit genre.
The Verdict
Not Guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Breathing Room a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

By Gidon Bro...
The failure of the opposition to coalesce under a dynamic leadership and create a national movement to stop Netanyahu and demand peace now will put Israel's future in jeopardy.
And indeed I think that Israel's lack of vision is already creating the analogue of Brexit: As Peter Beinart has been arguing for years, the younger generation of American Jews, who are overwhelmingly liberal and cosmopolitan in outlook, are progressively disengaging from an Israel, with which they cannot identify, and whose values they do not share.
Three days after the shooting of 49 people at Pu...
The French are up in arms again. Contrary to what one might think, it is not about internal social inequalities and the immigration challenge France f...
Israel seems to be undergoing a protracted period of gloom and doom. The quarreling about its future leaders and possible downfall of Netanyahu make Israel look weak and incompetent.
Weeks of behind closed door maneuvering by Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi attempted to bring together a centrists' coalition government comprised of Netnayahu's Likud and the opposition Labor Party.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been engaged in public negotiations designed to bring Isaac Herzog into his coalition government. And then, out of the blue, Netanyahu did a complete reversal, dropping Herzog and instead bringing the far right Avigdor Lieberman into his government.
Russia and Israel have a long history of diplomatic and military collaboration in the Middle East, dating back to the Arab-Israeli war of 1948, when Israel's triumph over its neighbors was largely attributable to Moscow's military support.
We have yet to find any leader, and I challenge anyone to name one, who can rise to meet these awesome challenges we face today. A leader who stands above human frailty, shortcomings, and failings.
On two recent Monday evenings in Washington DC, major US political figures addressed pro-Israel audiences. Their speeches could not have been more dif...
It seems as if Israeli leaders and citizens as well as many Jews around the world who support Israel unquestioningly are still most comfortable in the assumed role of historic victim. This is understandable.
Hateful, negative, victimized, divisive, judgmental, hostile, violent and inhumane; do we really want the face of our society to be that kind of face? Do we have the right to demoralize our society because we believe others are demoralized?
Like many across the globe, I am concerned that Israeli democracy is in jeopardy and that the failure to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine has created an untenable human rights crisis that threatens both Palestine and Israel.
Before Donald repeats his claims at the annual AIPAC conference next week, maybe he should talk to some people who know a good security deal when they see one: Israel's military and intelligence leaders.
America is practically bankrupt, yet Israel remains a multi-billion dollar dependent. The U.S. can't afford to continue subsidizing well-off nations, no matter how friendly. And Israel, which spends heavily both to expand state regulation and occupy Palestinian lands, doesn't need American support.

Acetic Acid Recovery Using Membranes
Award Information
Small Business Information

Business Contact:
Elizabeth Weiss

Research Institution:
AbstractThe recovery of acetic acid from dilute aqueous streams is an important industrial separation that is both high cost and energy intensive when performed by conventional distillation technology. A need exists for more efficient, lower cost, simpler technology, such as membrane technology. However, the required separation performance, combined with the need for robust chemical and thermal stability of the membrane materials, makes the use of membrane technology for acetic acid recovery very challenging. In this project, perfluorinated polymer membranes will be used to separate the compressed acetic acid from the water vapor in a conventional distillation column. In Phase I, the perfluoropolymer membranes will be optimized, and bench-scale membrane modules will be used to separate water from hot aqueous acetic acid solutions. The data obtained will be used in a process simulation to determine the technical performance and economic feasibility of the proposed distillation-membrane process. In Phase II, a pilot system will be constructed to evaluate the performance of industrial-scale membrane modules, and a field test will be carried out using the pilot system. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: If successful, the technology will allow acetic acid to be recovered from many aqueous process streams currently discharged or destroyed. The membrane-distillation process should lower energy costs by more than 60% compared to use of conventional distillation alone. Longer term, a successful distillation-membrane technology could be applied to commercial separations of other similar dilute aqueous streams

2.1 E-Government: e-Governance and e-Democracy The term Electronic Government (e-Government), as an expression, was coined after the example of Electronic Commerce. In spite of being a relatively recent expression, e-Government designates a field of activity that has been with us for several decades and which has attained a high level of penetration in many countries2. What has been observed over the recent years is a shift on the broadness of the e-Government concept. The ideas inside e-Governance and e- Democracy are to some extent promising big changes in public administration. The demand now is not only simply delivering a service - line. It is to deliver complex and new services, which are all citizen-centric. Another important demand is related to the improvement of citizen's participation in governmental processes and decisions so that the governments' transparency and legitimacy are enforced. In order to fulfill these new demands, a lot of research has been done over the recent years (see Section 3) but many challenges are still to be faced, not only in the technological field, but also in the political and social aspects.

Stock prices fell sharply last week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing almost 2%. Another round of soft third-quarter results has increased the market's already high anxiety about corporate profits.
In particular, investor sentiment was soured by continuing company misses on revenue growth, a trend that suggests future earnings and operating margins could be vulnerable. Internet retailer Amazon amzn 0.8237998432122879% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD758.81 6.2 0.8237998432122879% /Date(1469826000284-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6662071 AFTER HOURS USD758.06 -0.75 -0.09883897154755472% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 114979 P/E Ratio 312.26748971193416 Market Cap 355102466373.369 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 522691 More quote details and news » (ticker: AMZN), for example, posted fourth-quarter revenue guidance that was weaker than expected.
So far, a bit less than 40% of Standard & Poor's 500 companies reporting have posted third-quarter revenue that topped forecasts, according to Thomson Reuters. That compares with an average above 60%.
Generally, companies have been meeting already-lowered third-quarter profit expectations, says John Canally, an investment strategist at LPL Financial. But investors are beginning to see the negative effects of the European slowdown on U.S. corporate export growth, he adds: "It's beginning to dawn on people what that might mean for [future] margin expansion."
On the week, the Dow fell 1.8%, or 236.30 points, to 13,107.21, while the Standard and Poor's 500 index dropped 1.5%, or 21 points to 1411.94. The Nasdaq Composite did the best of the major indexes, down only 0.6% or 18 points to 2987.95.
Friday, the Commerce Department said that third-quarter gross domestic product expanded at a 2% annual rate, sluggish but a bit stronger than expectations and up from 1.3% in the second quarter. Consumer and government spending rose, but business investment fell.
The Dow has dropped four out of the last six weeks, but the venerable 30-stock average remains up 7% this year. That isn't as good as the bigger S&P 500 index, up 12%, but the Dow is still the go-to index for a quick market pulse. Some readers might not know that the average is price-weighted, which means that higher-priced stocks have more influence.
So how's the Dow really doing?
A look at the constituents pushing it higher this year reveals that mostly five names really matter, according to Nicolas Colas, chief market strategist for ConvergEx Group.

The other 24 names, seven of which are down on the year, represent the other third.
While many investors bemoan the strong correlation in stock moves this year—the idea that nearly all stocks move in unison on macroeconomic issues—that isn't really the case, Colas points out.
If there is a single narrative to the equity market this year, it's that U.S. stocks are higher because of incremental confidence in the American consumer and the domestic banking system, he adds.

The high-end organic-foods grocer has averaged double-digit sales and 15%-to-20% earnings-per-share growth over the years and regularly posts 8% comparable-store sales rises. Investors have flocked to Whole Foods stock, up by about a third this year to Friday's close of $94.21.
Yet even the stock of a generally well-run, growing company like Whole Foods can get ahead of its fundamentals when investors are scared and piling into it, as they seem to have done lately. It has a cult following, and the stock seems to wear a protective halo.
Lately, however, a crack has appeared. The shares dropped 7% from a recent all-time high of $101.19, falling with the market. There's probably room for more disappointment. Whole Foods' stock is priced to perfection and significantly overvalued compared with its fundamentals and history. Consequently, it won't take much of a misstep by the company to reduce the share valuation.
The stock trades at a rich 32 times consensus analyst EPS estimates of $2.89 in the fiscal year ending September 2013. That's high for 20% earnings growth and more than twice the P/E of the market as a whole. There's no point in comparing Whole Foods with conventional rivals like Kroger kr -0.6104651162790697% Kroger Co.

Organic food is a growing category, and Whole Foods dominates.
But this food retailer now sports a dot-com valuation. The ratio of Whole Foods' enterprise value (net debt plus market capitalization) to its annual Ebitda (earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization) is about 16. Barron's looked at companies with market caps equal or higher than Whole Foods with a similar EV/Ebitda and a P/E greater than 2.2 times that of the S&P 500 index. Of more than 15,000 stocks in the Thomson Reuters universe, just six others match that lofty criteria, including highly valued names like Amazon and Salesforce.com CRM -0.6437507591400462% Salesforce.com Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD81.8 -0.53 -0.6437507591400462% /Date(1469826183237-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2937696 AFTER HOURS USD81.95 0.15 0.18337408312958436% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 58593 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 55778576240.5396 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 372245 More quote details and news » (CRM).
Based on the company's market cap of $17.4 billion, each of Whole Foods' 329 stores is worth about $53 million, or 35 times the $1.5 million average annual operating store profit, notes Laurence Balter, who runs an independent research firm with the ambitious name of Oracle Investment Research in Fox Island, Wash. Balter put a Sell rating on the stock at $100, and says fair value is more like $83 to $85, using a model that incorporates Whole Foods regressing to its mean five-year average P/E.
The barriers to entry aren't particularly high, and competitors continue to enter the organic marketplace, he notes. They've been generally unsuccessful so far, but given the growth expectations already baked into the stock valuation, even a small gain here by rivals could dent Whole Foods' share price.
A lot of investors point to the Austin, Texas-based firm's aim of reaching 1,000 stores in the U.S. But at the current rate of store build, it will take nearly two decades to get there, Balter points out. That's a long wait for such a highly valued stock, he adds.
Valuation alone isn't enough to get pessimistic, and cult stocks can hang on to such valuations. But a look at Whole Foods' results shows that they've been choppy over the years, with periods of strong results combined with several weak ones. For example, from 1998 to fiscal 2011, Whole Foods' EPS grew an average 16%, thanks to some big years. However, that 13-year average includes six periods of either single-digit growth or flat-to-down EPS years. A repeat of that might come as a unhappy surprise to investors just now jumping on the bandwagon.
And as Whole Foods gets bigger, almost $12 billion in sales expected in fiscal 2012, it will get harder and harder to match that average growth. Whole Foods does well, just not well enough for its hefty valuation.
The company, which didn't return a call for comment, reports results for the fiscal fourth quarter on Nov. 7. Chances are it will hit the mark, but one of these days even Whole Foods will miss, and the stock could drop disproportionately.
SPEAKING OF STOCK DROPS, this column wrote bullishly about Monster Beverage MNST 0.7463622679377823% Monster Beverage Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD160.63 1.19 0.7463622679377823% /Date(1469826000254-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 524993 AFTER HOURS USD160.628 -0.002 -0.0012450974288738094% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 50945 P/E Ratio 45.12078651685393 Market Cap 32373176298.9331 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1253820 More quote details and news » (MNST) in the previous week, and a return to the scene is already required given the potentially alarming news out last week. Monster's stock fell sharply, to $45.86 last Friday, off 14% from $53.32 on Friday Oct. 19.
On Monday, Oct. 22, news emerged of a wrongful-death suit filed against the energy-drinks firm, alleging that the death of a teenager from cardiac arrest happened after she drank two 24-ounce Monster drinks. The girl had a pre-existing heart problem, according to news reports. That was followed by news that the Food and Drug Administration is investigating five deaths since 2009 allegedly linked to Monster Energy Drinks. According to the FDA, adverse-event reports about a product don't mean that the event is caused by the product.
In response, Monster said in a statement that its products are safe; "are not in any way responsible for the death"; and it intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. It noted eight billion cans of Monster Energy have been sold and safely consumed around the world since 2002. "Neither the science nor the facts support the allegations that have been made," Monster said.
Even before the latest news this week, the stock had fallen to $53 from $78. Our previous bullish item took note of that and suggested that Monster's once-rich price/earnings ratio had dropped to a level that more accurately reflected the growth rate. While we acknowledged that the company faced some general legal and increasing regulatory issues, this risk blew up right away.
This threat isn't going away soon and could get worse before it gets better. History has shown that legal and regulatory issues in the U.S. can dog an industry and its companies for years.
A more immediate problem for Monster and other energy-drinks makers is that—even if Monster wards off its legal and regulatory challenges—this adverse publicity could cause people to stop or reduce drinking its products, and its strong growth rate could slow.
While the company will probably report its third quarter in the near term, the lawsuit surfaced in the fourth quarter, so investors might not know the extent of the problem until that quarter is reported next year.
Now what?
We went back to Jean-François Comte, co-president of Lutetia Capital, who was buying the stock before the news. He says he continues to maintain his position and likens the problem to what Mead Johnson Nutrition MJN -0.7676048503726777% Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. U.S.: NYSE USD89.2 -0.69 -0.7676048503726777% /Date(1469826131867-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2026677 AFTER HOURS USD89.198 -0.002 -0.002242152466367713% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 40939 P/E Ratio 33.91634980988593 Market Cap 16598997090.0519 Dividend Yield 1.8497757847533631% Rev. per Employee 514230 More quote details and news » (MJN) went through late in 2011 when one of its infant-formula products was—incorrectly—linked to a baby's death. After falling over 20% in one day, Mead's stock eventually recovered. Comte believes that more disclosure on the energy-drink cans will be the likely end result.
Unless the lawsuit succeeds, Monster ultimately should continue to grow. However, when legal clouds appear, it can take a long time for decisions on lawsuits and new regulation. Any investor prepared to stay with this Monster should get used to volatility for a while.

The Story: At times the story seemed very Alice in Wonderland which I know was one inspiration for the film, but it really shows through when describing Sarah's thought process. Compared to the film Sarah seems more childish and even more self-centred which is slightly annoying. On the other hand I suppose it's more realistic how frighted and panicked she becomes when faced with the strange creatures and settings of the Labyrinth. I do like how the book shows us what was behind the left door with the knockers (and I found it to be a very disturbing place). This gives us a more valid reason for her determination to get the ring back in the right door knocker's mouth to go through that door instead. All in all the book follows the film very closely.
The Packaging: The cover has a classic look with a Brian Froud sketch on the front and back. Inside the cover is a maroon background with a black maze pattern. There is a small maze in a square beside the book title and chapter title at the top of each page. Even though it's a small detail, the fact that the maze is different for each chapter gives it a caring touch.
The Extras: At the back of the book are first, 20 unpublished Illustrations by Brian Froud and then second,
50 never-before-seen pages from Jim Henson's personal journal, detailing initial conception of his ideas for Labyrinth. Both of which are proceeded with a Forward.
With Froud's illustrations you will find some recognizable characters including the Wiseman and Ludo. Some creatures are sketches and others are finished drawings with colour.Read more ›
The hardcover binding and inside cover are lovely. I was disappointed that none of the sketches by Brian Froud were of our goblin king, alas. This book includes 50 pages from Jim Henson's private journal about the concept of the Labyrinth movie which any diehard fan will love.
I would recommend Amazon to anyone that asks!

SPDatabase.Snapshots Property
Gets the snapshots of the database.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Available in Sandboxed Solutions: No
Property ValueType: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Backup.SPDatabaseSnapshotCollection
All of the currently existing snapshots of the database.
Typically, administrators set snapshots to be taken on a regularly scheduled basis. In addition, snapshots have a fixed lifespan, usually measured in hours, after which they go out of existence. Hence, the membership of this property is highly dynamic.
The collection may be empty, but the property never returns a a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) reference.
Only the Enterprise and Developer editions of Microsoft SQL Server support database snapshots.
Snapshots are typically created and deleted automatically by timer jobs in the background. To help ensure that the SPDatabaseSnapshotCollection object represents the current set of snapshots, always call the RefreshSnapshots() method before you access or process any members of the collection. This point applies also when you access a snapshot through an indexer. For example, if spd is an SPDatabase object, the line spd.Snapshots[0] should be preceded by a call of the RefreshSnapshots() method.
