These locks when used with a thumb turn will allow you to lock the door from the inside without a key. You can also fit an external override turn in case you need to unlock from the outside. The locks also have a latch to keep the door shut which can be operated by a door handle or knob.
The standard bathroom lock is designed for privacy. Instead of using a key it is operated by the door handle or knob.
Works where the cylinder in the lock will rotate: when the key is inserted it aligns and lifts the pins in the cylinder to enable it to turn and lock and unlock the door.
The dead bolt can be fitted alongside other locks or latches to offer extra security, ideally fixed lower on the door if in combination with others, the dead bolt will lock and unlock with a quick flick of the thumb. It can also be used as a simple bathroom lock, with a turn and release system.
This section includes: surface bolts, flushbolts dust excluding sockets, bolts with turns, espagnolette, security and dutch bolts.
These latches are suitable for doors not requiring any locks; they are still very efficient at keeping the door shut. They are a good choice for intermediate doors.
The sash lock is a dead lock and a latch combined into one case. It gives all the benefits of both types. Sash locks can also come with different security levels, depending on what door the lock is fitted. It is operated by a key and the turn of a handle. These are a popular choice for many doors.

Litchfield Hills' link to Spain
Longtime friends enjoy Iberian machines on and off the road
|Steve Maughmer, left, and his 1977 Bultaco Frontera and Tim Sparks and his 1973 OSSA 250 Six Day Replica. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American
My destination that recent Sunday afternoon was a well-concealed gravel pit. The purpose was to observe Tim Sparks and Steve Maughmer riding their vintage, Spanish-made dirt bikes, and to maybe take a ride as well. Sparks and Maughmer have known each other for decades. They rode off-road together in their youth and owned Triumph Bonnevilles when they switched to street bikes. Sparks is 52 and lives in Bantam. Maughmer is 53 and lives in Morris. Sparks went to Litchfield High School, while Maughmer attended Wamogo.
They are both members of S.M.O.G., though. S.M.O.G. is the Spanish Motorcycle Owners Group, a national club for lovers of motorcycles "Made in Spain." Sparks owns a 1973 OSSA 250 Six Day Replica. He acquired it eight years ago for roughly $1,800. Maughmer purchased his 1977 Bultaco Frontera, also a 250cc bike, a few weeks ago for $2,400.
Having lathered my Japanese-made street bike in mud negotiating the road, I was surprised to find the machines of Sparks and Maughmer were clean. They had been riding in a field, instead of the goo, and fulfilling their goals of "reliving the old days," said Sparks.
He first owned an OSSA "SDR" back in the mid-1970s. He picked that one up for $200. "I was a teenager and rode it to death. The person who had it before me took all the lights off it. It looked like a motocross bike. I didn't register that one," he recalled.
His current OSSA is street legal. "It's your basic enduro. There's nothing fancy about it. It's a pretty dependable bike — five-speed transmission, two-stroke, air-cooled. I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever, just doing basic maintenance. It's registered, so I can go from one trail to another on the roads. It's a lot of fun on the back roads. It'll cruise around 55, 60 miles an hour all day long. Very light, nimble, easy to handle. Plenty of power. A good every day bike," Sparks reported.
Maughmer was likewise into Spanish bikes as a teen. He owned an OSSA and a Montesa. "I started riding when I was 10 or 11. Had mini-bikes, then got dirt bikes and continued on," he said. He raced dirt bikes until he was 20 and raced quads until he was 30.
It wasn't until recently that he was able to consider playing in the dirt again. "I wanted to get a dirt bike; something I could register and go over the back roads with and ride around the woods at my house," he said. A modern bike was out of the question because they're all tall and Maughmer isn't. The Bultaco has a much lower seat. "It's the only thing I can reach the ground on. I'm short," he said.
"I wanted a Spanish bike because I had them when I was younger. They're easy to work on. They've got a piston, a muffler, a carburetor, and a transmission. You don't have all that water-cooled stuff, water pumps to worry about, radiators to worry about," he said.
Maughmer said he enjoys the Bultaco because "you can ride one of those and putt around at idle or you can rip that thing like a motocross bike. These things are more forgiving. The weight is nowhere near as heavy (as a modern bike)," he said.
Sparks likewise likes the pep of his OSSA as well as the lasting looks. "To me, it's a really good looking bike. The lines and paint job really appeal to me. It always stuck with me," he said, noting that "the Spanish were very meticulous. They built them so the average person could buy one, take it the track and race it. That's my understanding of it, anyway. You get on it and open it up and it's a pretty darn fast bike."
Since getting the Bultaco and taking it on the shakedown ride that Sunday afternoon, Maughmer has done some tinkering. He's traded out the gas tank and tidied up some of the wiring. He said his nature is that he's "always got to mess with everything." He even has something new to mess with — a 1965 Honda Z50 Mini Trail that someone gave him this week.
Sparks, meanwhile, has the OSSA to contend with. Between coming in his driveway after riding and opening the garage door, his rear tire went flat. It's now off the bike and awaiting repair.
As part of the lure to get me there, Sparks had promised that I could ride the OSSA, and he was good to his word. Because the field looked uneven, I headed down the road that I'd come in on. Having never ridden a dirt bike, I found the touchy throttle to be instantly off-putting. However, I did gain sufficient speed to notice that the knobby tires were much more sure-footed than the street tires on my V-Strom.
I confess that my gingerly approach, which included avoiding puddles, resulted in the bike never getting out of first gear. That's probably a good thing. Had I gotten the full experience, I'd likely want to buy one — just not from either Sparks or Maughmer.

The boreal forest is the world's largest land-based ecosystem. In Canada, it covers two-thirds of the country. At least 20 percent of the boreal forest is comprised of wetlands, and millions of ducks breed in this vast, largely unspoiled region. In some years, this amounts to about 40 percent of the continental duck population.
Millions of other migratory waterbirds and billions of landbirds also use the Western Boreal Forest (WBF). However, human impact on this area is increasing. The WBF is ranked No. 3 of the 25 most important and threatened waterfowl habitats on the continent.

STOCKTON - A 23-year-old man was robbed Wednesday after being picked up by a woman he met online and her two brothers, authorities said.
The robbery occurred shortly after 4:30 p.m. near Robinhood Drive and Claremont Avenue, police said.
One of the brothers brandished a handgun while the other went through the victim's pockets. They stole the man's money before fleeing in the vehicle, which was described as a white 1980s model Ford Mustang.
One of the robbers was described as a Latino man 17 to 19 years old standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 145 pounds.
Another was described as a Latina woman 18 to 19 years sold standing 5 feet tall and weighing 110 pounds. There was no description of the third robber.

WASHINGTON (January 14, 2013)--President Barack Obama said Monday Congress' failure to raise the government's borrowing authority would delay payments of benefits to veterans and Social Security recipients and again warned that he will not negotiate on raising the debt ceiling, aiming to pin the burden of an unprecedented default on congressional Republicans.
The government has hit its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit and is expected to run out of ways to meet all of its obligations around March 1 if not earlier.
Republicans want spending cuts tied to raising the debt ceiling.
Threatening to not raise the debt ceiling, Mr. Obama said, is "absurd."
Without an increase, the government would not have enough money to pay interest to debt holders and pay for all government programs.
The president also said Monday he's reviewing a list of proposals from Vice President Joe Biden about how to reduce gun violence and expects to present specifics later this week.
Mr. Obama said stronger background checks, a meaningful ban on assault weapons and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines are all ideas he thinks make sense.
He said he's not sure how many of those measures can pass Congress.
Mr. Obama said he expects Congress to set aside politics and focus on common-sense steps that can make a difference.
He asked Biden to lead a task force on ways to reduce violence after the December massacre in Newtown, Conn., that killed 27 people, mostly children.

Hello, I hope this isn't a repeat question. I searched around a bit and found references to this issue, but couldn't find any real discussion on it.
I've downloaded and have been using PMS for a few days now, and it's a great program. Streams to my PS3 very easily, and I'm quite happy. My only problem is that at the end of the file, the playback pauses and cannot be unpaused. This can happen as much as 8 seconds (in my experience) from the end of the file, as reported by the PS3. Is this some kind of setting, and can I disable it? Ideally playback would end, and I'd go back to the file listing in the PS3 interface.
On a similar note, I find that if I exit the program (when it's paused in the state described above) with the "back" (circle?) button on the PS3 remote, that it leaves an encoding process running, but not if I exit with the "stop" button. Is this also configurable somewhere?
Thanks for your time and help!

CARNIBOLIC™ contains powerful fat-fighting ingredients such as Garcinia Cambogia and Green Coffee Bean Extract, which, among other beneficial effects, help to satiate appetite and curb cravings.
One of the primary functions of the L-Carnitine amino acid is to support your body to metabolize fat. It achieves this by carrying fatty acids from the bloodstream to the mitochondria of your cells to be used as fuel - while carrying waste products out. CARNIBOLIC™ works to support this process thorugh a large dosage of L-Carnitine and the metabolic enhancer Green Tea Extract.
A major concern with athletes trying to lean up is that their body is storing fat faster than they can burn it off. This is especially true for indivudals who focus on anaerobic exercise (like weight lifting), which utilizes carbohydrates and the glycogen system as its primary energy source. By working to rev up your bodies ability to utilize fatty acids, CARNIBOLIC™ is designed to prevent your body from ever storing fat in the first place, no matter how you train.
By targeting fat utilization and storage with the L-Carnitine Tartrate found in CARNIBOLIC,™ you can help your body accelerate the process of achieving lean, defined musculature.
Cardiovascular Support Usage: Take 1-2 scoops 2-3 times daily with a meal or as directed by your qualified healthcare practitioner.
Performance Enhancing Suggested Usage: Take 1-2 scoops on an empty stomach prior to workout or as directed by your qualified health care practitioner.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are a critical component to any precision training strategy and ANABOLIC STATE™ spares no benefits in harnessing their power. L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Lysine, and other premium BCAAs function as potent anti-catabolic agents, reducing muscle tissue breakdown.* By preserving more of your existing muscle fibers, these clinically validated muscle catalysts allow you to train proactively towards huge gains in lean, defined muscle mass.
Unlike other basic L-Carnitine supplements, CARNIBOLIC™ is designed with an innovative Quattro-Carn matrix that utilizes Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCL, L-Carnitine HCL, L-Carnitine Tartrate, and L-Carnitine Fumarate. These various forms are designed to allow for optimal integration of L-Carnitine into your natural cellular processes.
While it is true that L-Carnitine is manufactured naturally in your body (categorizing it as "non-essential") it is widely viewed as a highly beneficial component to any comprehensive training supplementation strategy. Saturating your body with additional levels of L-Carnitine can help to ensure that you have surplus amounts of this powerful amino available in the event of a deficiency. CARNIBOLIC™ is also designed to support your body to enhance its use of fat as a primary energy source.
While L-Carnitine is produced naturally in the body, any athlete can use CARNIBOLIC™ to help ensure their body has excess stores of L-Carnitine available to increasing fatty acid utilization. This application is especially useful for individuals that may have lower resting levels of L-Carnitine.
For best results it is recommended that athletes drink 1-2 scoops of CARNIBOLIC™ 2-3 times daily with a meal, to help support enhanced fatty acid utilization during food digestion through the day. As a supplement to help support fat-burning during exercise, CARNIBOLIC™ can also be taken immediately prior to physical activity.
Loving this product using it with thermal xtc and becoming so lean. Better results than I ever imagined.
Carnibolic is a great product. The flavor is second to none and it reminds me of "Kool-Aid" from when I was a kid. It's that good. I've been stacking this product with others from Nutrabolics and have notice a big difference at the gym and with my body.
I've been using Carnibolic, Thermal XTC and Super Fats together for the past month. I took 3 softgels of SuperFats twice a day, 1 scoop of Carnibolic twice a day, and 2 tablets of ThermalXTC before workouts or playing soccer. This is an amazing combination of products to stack. Combined with diet and exercise I've lost 4lbs and feel great. My endurance is up, I'm stronger and I have plenty of energy throughout the day using these. I really like the fact that I never got any jitters or crash using this stack. Carnibolic tastes amazing! I've tried the blue raz and watermelon, both are delicious. I've recently seen that Nutrabolics is releasing a powdered version of ThermalXTC. I can't wait until it comes out so I can try it! If it tastes as good as Carnibolic it'll be a sure win.
I'm typically not much of a watermelon flavor fan, but this was pretty good in my opinion. I've been using Carnibolic for about 3 weeks now, while maintaining my normal diet and supplement protocol. I have noticed that my energy level seems higher than normal and I am not getting tired as fast later in the evening. I have used Carnibolic as a PWO, but prefer to use it throughout the day. It keeps me from grabbing a sugary drink and satisfies my thirst. Looking at pics of me from 3 weeks ago, it appears as if I have dropped some body fat while my muscles look a bit fuller and dense. There are many different ways you can use Carnibolic (PWO, cardio days, etc.). You just have to find what works best for you. I definitely recommend it.
Nutrabolic Carnibolic can be used in two different ways. I used it a few times throughout the day as an energizer, but mostly I used it as a preworkout before intense cardio sessions. Let me tell you that Carnibolic is amazing. There is no drop down box above for Orange flavor. Flavor: Orange Taste:10 Mixability:10 Performance:10 For anyone that doesn't want a preworkout containing stims, this is an awesome choice. 4 different types of L-carnitine and thats it. If you love to run and do intense cardio, this product is for you. One scoop with 16 OZ of water prior and you can mix another scoop with 16 OZ of water to sip on as you workout. Smooth, clean energy, delicious and not bad after taste. I will be using this product again in the future and I would suggest it to anyone as well.
Best L-Carnitine product I have found. High quality ingredients and its tastes great. Hoping for a buy 2 get 1 deal soon because I'm running out and this stuff is not cheap. Its price is the only reason it gets a 9 instead of a 10 from me.

Revolution in 'Revolution'
NBC powerless power struggle rebooting: Less about power, more about power grabbing
"Revolution," NBC's tale of turn-off-the-power — the electrical kind — will shift to a story focused on political power and people, promises executive producer Eric Kripke.
Deconstructing the coming Season 2 story arc at a Comic-Con panel, Kripke said the story was more than just "about a light switch."
"Let's turn the power off, take power off the table for the foreseeable future and make it about all the other issues the show could be about," Kripke said.
The concept — a high-tech electronic signal that inadvertently makes all electronics worldwide inoperative — sounds preposterous on the surface, but Kripke said his goal was quite different.
"It's a post-apocalyptic American 'Lord of the Rings," he said.
The key actors on the panel weighed in on their character development. Giancarlo Esposito, who plays a baddie-goodie-baddie in turn, said he was "fascinated" by the mythological overtones and hoped viewers would "be inspired to lead (their lives) another way."
Off camera, Billy Burke, who plays Miles the avenger, said the cast bonds so closely that when somebody dies, it's "tough" on the survivors.
"Whether it's by accident or osmosis, we become quite close," he said. "Losing people for us is quite tough."
A fan asked if the cast spent a lot of time getting in shape to handle the physical challenges in a world where muscles, not machines, count.
"We didn't have the luxury for preparation," Burke said, and that serves the plot of a world thrown into sudden chaos. "There's a real safety net in not knowing what's going on."

FREMONT -- On their way to a 10-2 record, the boys on the Eagles football team in Fremont overcame a pile of obstacles.
They mustered just 19 players from their high school, so few that some of them regularly had to play both offense and defense. Not one of those players weighed as much as 200 pounds, putting the team regularly at a size disadvantage.
But the most obvious obstacle is one the Eagles insist hindered them not at all: Each of the players -- and the head coach -- is deaf.
Representing the California School for the Deaf, the Eagles just concluded their best season ever, capturing a North Central II/Bay League title competing against teams with no such disadvantages.
Tuesday, they will learn whether they will receive a special citation and a $25,000 grant at Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year ceremony; the Eagles are one of 10 teams nationwide vying for that honor. According to Deaf Digest Sports, the team is the national champion in its class among deaf high schools.
Sports Illustrated this season featured CSD in "Underdogs," an online video series that focused on 10 high school football teams battling major challenges. The undersized Eagles squad, led by quarterback Carlos Lopez and running back Brian Freeman, filled their football season with glory by transforming perceived negatives into positives.
"Some might call us disabled, but that can be extra motivation for us," said Lopez, clad in jeans, a sweatshirt and a belt that reads, "I love haters." He added: "Some of us might feel hurt or angry, but when it comes time to play the game, we prove them wrong and we earn their respect."
First, they outwitted bigger teams by using their speed, Lopez said. Fueled by the bold creativity of head coach Warren Keller, they exhausted opponents by running a no-huddle offense. Keller used large color-coded boards -- like the highly ranked University of Oregon team does -- and American Sign Language to call and communicate plays during games.
"Our goal is to get off a play within seven seconds after a referee spots the ball," said Keller, who grew up in Chicago and played quarterback as a teenager for New Mexico School for the Deaf. "We try to get off so many snaps that it's like playing two games in one day."
The quick-strike strategy worked. The Eagles set a single-season record for wins and racked up 349 points in 11 contests (one victory was a forfeit), averaging about 32 points a game.
Another key to their success is the bond teammates forged while adhering to Keller's "Hard Work Philosophy," which demands that players always move fast during practice, work hard in all aspects of life and respect everyone, especially each other.
The team's chemistry and offensive dominance helped them capture their first league title since 2002, and their second since 1991, when Gil Lentz Jr. was head coach. Lentz Jr. was quarterback of another CSD league-winning team in 1974. Lentz's son, Ryan Lentz, is now a 26-year-old CSD employee who helps coach the Eagles' middle school football team.
"Anytime the School for the Deaf takes the field, it proves to the world that being deaf is not a disability, it's just a speed bump," Lentz said. "It proves no matter how high or wide the obstacle is, it's not one that somebody can't overcome."
Still, being the league's only deaf team poses its challenges.
Keller, 26, cannot readily communicate with referees, which shuts him out of the time-honored coach's ploy of chewing a ref's ear. Also, some referees will confuse a player's wordless demeanor with bad body language and mistakenly think he's acting negatively toward them, said Keller, a Pleasanton resident.
But besides those nuances, "we don't do anything different than any other program," he said. "We haven't faced one opponent where we're at a disadvantage."
Opposing coaches, such as Gary Galloway of Petaluma's St. Vincent de Paul, agree with Keller. In fact, Galloway sees an advantage for the Eagles.
"They're one of the most disciplined teams we play," he said. "It might be because of the focus they have to have (as deaf players). It was amazing to see how excited they were to play the game."
Founded in Berkeley in 1860, the California School for the Deaf moved to Fremont in the late 1970s. Its 426 K-12 students attend classes on the campus situated between Central Park, Walnut Avenue and Mission Boulevard, where there are more similarities to other schools than differences. The school gymnasium hallway includes a glass-encased trophy room that showcases the Eagles' rich sports history, which dates back more than a century. A recent inductee into the school's Hall of Fame was James Baker, an Eagles baseball standout who played in 1905.
The gym's hallway walls are covered with several signs that read: "There is no shortcut to success," and "There is no 'I' on an Eagles team!"
As head coach, Keller leaned on those slogans and his "Hard Work Philosophy" to boost his players' spirits after a heartbreaking playoff loss Nov. 17 to St. Vincent de Paul. The Eagles were defeated 13-12 on a last-minute touchdown, losing the chance to advance to the CIF North Coast Section Division V championship game.
Not even that can diminish the accomplishments of the California School for the Deaf's greatest season ever, Keller said.
"After the game, I told them to keep using the 'Hard Work Philosophy' for their following sports and for the rest of their lives," he said. "And they will do just fine."

It's no doubt the greenest building on campus.
"This facility is going to allow us to increase our through put , three or four times," said Ruth Daoust, Manager of the MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center.
The increase will expand the recycling collection in more than 500 buildings on campus, thanks to the new MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center, a world of difference from the old facility.
"We were working out of a 10,000 square foot facility where everything was pretty much done by hand," Daoust said.
But the new 74,000 square foot center that opened Thursday will reduce waste to landfills by nearly 30 percent by 2015, which isn't just a savings to the environment.
"Removing yards or tons from the landfill which in turn is going to save the institution over $100,000 per year these next few years," Daoust said.
Bales of recycled material will be processed at the center and then sold off to vendors -- in turn making some green for the university as well.
"We will be able to sell this product, because it's a good product, and we will look for the highest bidder, the highest price we can get for Michigan State University," Daoust said.
The Surplus Store can also process and store more materials. MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon says it creates a culture of recycling responsibility for students.
"Anybody who comes to the campus can see how that works and see that it's not an onerous task to worry about recycling," Simon said.
A message that's making students rethink and recycle.
"By instead diverting that waste to being recycled and being reused, it is extremely important to our future," said MSU student Ashley Hale.

Washington is beloved for many reasons, not least for his leadership and his integrity - almost every child knows the story about the young George Washington confessing to his father that he chopped down one of his father's cherry trees.
Washington first caught the country's eye when he published a journal about his rugged adventures
investigating French encroachment on Virginia's western frontier. His military prowess led to him
be named commander-in-chief of the Second Continental Congress in 1775, charged with molding an
inexperienced and undisciplined group of patriotic volunteers into a professional army. His success led the country to elect him its first president at the age of 57. As president, he supported the creation of a national bank and later appointed the first director of the U.S. Mint, David Rittenhouse. Legend has it that some of the Mint's first coins came from melting down silver that Washington donated from his personal collection.
Washington was first commemorated on a U.S. Mint coin along with the Marquis de Lafayette on a dollar coin in 1900.
In 1931, Congress held a competition for a coin to honor the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Ms. Gardin Fraser submitted a design that, though popular, was not chosen. Her design, however, was revived for this coin 68 years later.
The original competition called for the obverse of the coin to feature a portrait of George Washington, based on the famed life-mask bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon. The reverse was to feature a design that was to be "national" in nature.
Ms. Gardin Fraser's design features a right-facing portrait of George Washington on the obverse, while the reverse shows an eagle with wings spread wide. Dr. Cornelius Vermeule, author of "Numismatic Art in America" called the design "one of the most spectacular ever to be prepared for a U.S. coin"
Laura Gardin Fraser was the wife of famed sculptor James Earle Fraser, who designed the Buffalo Nickel.
As a medalist, she worked on the Congressional medal honoring Charles Lindbergh and the Oregon Trail commemorative.

BERKELEY -- Cal has suspended an unidentified football player for instigating a locker room altercation that sent freshman running back Fabiano Hale to the hospital.
Coach Sonny Dykes announced Friday that after an internal examination of the incident on Nov. 1, the player will be suspended indefinitely from all team activities, will attend counseling and must perform 25 hours of community service to be considered for reinstatement.
"There is no excuse for what occurred," Dykes said in a statement. "We are building a culture of accountability and trust within our football program. Our players understand those expectations and know that they should hold themselves to high standards at all times, whether that's on or off the field or in the classroom. Any violation of that code of conduct will always be taken very seriously."
The decision is independent of an ongoing campus police investigation and any campus student conduct measures that may be taken.
Hale told the Santa Cruz Sentinel he returned to Berkeley on Monday, met with Dykes on Tuesday morning, and said he has attended practice since but hasn't participated.
"I still have concussion symptoms," Hale said, pointing to ongoing headaches. "Until I'm symptom clear, I can't work out at practice."
UC Berkeley Police Lt. Marc DeCoulode said police will not release the name of the suspected player because there have been no arrests and the incident remains under investigation.
"Hopefully by end of next week, we will finish it, but we'll see how it goes," DeCoulode told this newspaper. "We're just waiting to finish it up and take it out to the district attorney for their review."
The altercation is part of a difficult first season for Dykes at Cal. The Bears (1-9, 0-7 Pac-12) have not beaten an FBS team heading into their next-to-last game Saturday at Colorado.
"I am confident in the program that Coach Dykes is building and the values he is instilling among the young men on our football team," athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a statement.
"All of our student-athletes are expected to maintain themselves in a professional and respectful manner and take responsibility for their actions. After gathering the facts in this particular situation, it was clear that did not occur, and we feel we have taken appropriate disciplinary steps."
Associated Press and staff writers Jeff Faraudo and Doug Oakley contributed to this report.

J.C. Penney Shares Notch Biggest Gain in at Least 30 Years
It's been quite a while since J.C. Penney enjoyed a day like today.
Shares surged as much as 26% Thursday, on track for the biggest one-day percentage gain in at least 30 years, according to FactSet. The rally comes after the struggling department store chain late Wednesday offered a few bright spots in its quarterly report and its 2014 outlook.
Penney posted a profit over the holidays and expects a narrow improvement in sales to persist in the current quarter. The company is trying to claw its way back from a disastrous overhaul that led to a 25% drop in sales and a $985 million loss a year earlier.

- Stock to Watch: J.C. Penney, Heron Therapeutics, Intra-Cellular Therapies
The previous biggest rally came on Jan. 26, 2012, when the stock surged 19% to $40.72. That rally came after former CEO Ron Johnson, the onetime Apple wonderkid, laid out an ambitious turnaround plan. He tossed out Penney's old sales pricing model in favor of lower every day prices, a strategy that proved unsuccessful, led to a steep drop in sales and ultimately led to his ouster.
Fast forward to today and investors are hopeful that Penney is getting back on track. CEO Myron Ullman struck an optimistic tone in the quarterly report. "With the most challenging and expensive parts of the turnaround behind us, we will focus on improving gross margin, managing expense and steadily growing our sales in 2014," he said.
Optimistic chatter and Thursday's rally are nice, but analysts want more.
"The next six months are probably the most critical" in J.C. Penney's 112-year history, says Charles Grom, a retail analyst at Sterne Agee.
If Penney can post 3%-5% same-store-sales growth for the current quarter and mid-single-digit gains for the year, like Penney predicts, liquidity issues and vendor concerns "likely are avoided (albeit temporarily)," Mr. Grom said. But if sales "stay soft and inventory levels build" further after being up 25% at the start of February from a year ago, "JCP will be in a precarious position heading into" the second half of the year, he added.
Shares recently rallied 24% to $7.37, although the stock price is still down about 20% this year and has a long way to go to recover from its multi-year downtrend. Shares traded above $40 two years ago and as high as $87 in 2007.
Including Thursday's rally, Penney has only had 20 one-day rallies of at least 10% over the past 30 years, according to FactSet, whose data only go back that far. A call to J.C. Penney for more historical data wasn't immediately returned.
Penney, which was an original member of the S&P 500 going back to its start in 1957, was booted out of the index last year. It currently sports a market capitalization of about $1.8 billion, according to FactSet. Earlier this month the stock briefly fell below $5, a level it hadn't closed below on a split-adjusted basis since October 1962.
At least for now, analysts believe the worst is over.
"Projecting liquidity of $2 billion by the end of 2014 and dismissing the bears' thoughts of cash burn was the most powerful positive of the conference call yesterday," said Bernard Sosnick, an analyst at Gilford Securities. "The business seems to have stabilized and heading in the right direction.
"We believe the bottom has been made on the stock," he added.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction' started by axlrose914, Aug 7, 2012.
Wow. Marky Mark as Case. Kiss that one goodbye.
I don't know who Marky Mark is but I don't doubt that The Two Faces of Tomorrow by James P. Hogan would make a batter movie than Neuromancer.
Marky Mark= Mark Wahlberg, he used to be in a boy band. lol
I know. I Googled him right after I wrote that post.
That is one of the things that makes the Internet so cool.
I am not seeing anything on any browser I use when I click on that link.
I agree about Marky Mark. I honestly cannot figure out why they keep giving that guy roles. He has one facial expression, and its surly.
Right on, dude, he's an ok actor, never was into whatever music he did.
That movie might be kinda cool though.
case was 20, wahlberg is 40.
Welcome to Hollywood.
And Wahlberg was pretty great in Boogie Nights and The Departed. Then again, he had two great directors guiding him.
Wahlberg is not a bad actor. Might not be the best but it isn't like they are talking about getting Tom Cruise here. I would be more interested in who the director is.
Agree that the director would be key to this; also important is who they will cast as Molly. Her character is every bit as important (if not more so) as is Case.
It may be the cynic in me but I don't have much hope for this. I believe that there is about a 90% chance that Hollywood will utterly screw this project up. However there is a slim chance that they will utterly screw it up in a good way.
That being said I will probably still shell out my ten bucks like all the other suckers who have forgotten about the disasterous Johnny Neumonic!
DDC, I'd give it higher than 90%, probably in the 99% category myself.
Here's a prediction - given Molly's preference for skintight leather outfits, the actress for Molly will not be 40 like Wahlberg but 20 instead. Wahlberg is a great actor but he is best at playing tough guy roles with lots of muscle, the opposite of the drug-addicted nerd Case.
Man, I hope that movie is still in development. I really want to see it! And I think that Marky as Case is a good idea? Why not? Ok, maybe I say it just because a huge fan of Walhberg, but there's nothing criminal in such casting. He's a good actor and his huge net worth is the best proof of this ($200 million according to this article Why Mark Wahlberg Net Worth is so Tremendously Huge?). Considering the fact that he already had roles in various science fiction movies like Transformers, Max Payne, I can say that he's a good candidacy. Anyway, I just hope that the project isn't frozen.
Well, not long ago Vincenzo Natalie dropped out of the film. I thought he was the perfect choice for director of the film. He is the writer\director of the first Cube film, Splice, and recently Haunter. I know that when he was attached Liam Neeson and Mark Whalberg were offered roles, and I would hate to see them in it. With those two you know exactly what type of movie you'll see, and that's not the type of movie Neuromancer should be turned into.
Separate names with a comma.

MLK's dream inspires a new march, and a president
President Barack Obama speaks at the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington where Martin Luther King Jr., spoke, Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak) by Nancy Benac and Suzanne Gamboa WASHINGTON (AP) – Standing on hallowed ground of the civil rights movement, President Barack Obama challenged new generations Wednesday to seize the cause of racial equality and honor the "glorious patriots" who marched a half century ago to the very steps from which Rev. Martin Luther King spoke during the March on Washington.

SAN JOSE -- Three years after San Jose High player Matt Blea nearly died from a skull fracture in the Big Bone Game, another San Jose player was taken off the field in an ambulance Thursday in the annual Thanksgiving Day game.
Junior lineman Isaiah Espinoza suffered what his coach called a "stinger in the neck" and "tingling down his lower legs."
Espinoza had movement in his extremities and was transported from the field at San Jose City College to nearby Valley Medical Center for precautionary measures, San Jose coach Darrell Williams said.
Espinoza was listed in fair condition Thursday night, said VMC spokeswoman Joy Alexiou.
The injury occurred with Lincoln leading 55-6 midway through the fourth quarter and delayed the game -- the 70th in the series -- for about 30 minutes while paramedics treated Espinoza.
Lincoln won 55-13.
The day began with great hope for San Jose, which has not beaten its rival since 1997.
Confident after an undefeated season and its first league title in 63 years, the Bulldogs (9-1) intercepted a pass on Lincoln's first series and were driving for the game's first score with a first down at the Lions' 23.
But a fumble ended the drive, and soon Lincoln was on its way to extending its winning streak over San Jose to 15 with another blowout victory.
"That play changed the whole momentum," Williams, San Jose's second-year coach, said of the fumble. "It changed the whole momentum of the game and brought the doubt back into us. When we were able to get them off the field in their first series, we were thinking, 'This is what we want.' "
Instead, Lincoln got what it wanted, spoiling San Jose's perfect season while closing out its year with its ninth win in 10 games.
Cristapher Ortez scored on runs of 66 and 31 yards, and Jacob Avery had scoring runs of 43 and 6 yards for the Lions.
Lincoln took advantage of four first-half turnovers to build a 34-0 lead after two quarters.
The lead ballooned to 55-6 after three quarters as Francisco Cruz's 40-yard interception return was sandwiched between touchdown runs by Ortez and Avery.
Christopher Azure returned an interception 20 yards for a score in the first half to give Lincoln a 20-0 lead.
Avery led the Lions with 157 yards rushing in eight carries.
"We knew at the beginning of the year our offense was going to run through him," Lincoln coach Kevin Collins said. "He worked hard in the offseason. He's one of the best backs I've ever coached."
Avery said San Jose's perfect record served as motivation.
"There was a lot of talk compared to the last few years," Avery said. "We just had to come out and do what we do -- Lincoln High School football. That's what we're about. Keep our mouth shut and keep playing.
"It feels wonderful. We've been through so much this year to be league champs and then to come out on the 70th year and do what we did, it feels wonderful."
Ortez finished with 129 yards on the ground.
Tarik Ballard got San Jose on the scoreboard in the third quarter with a 30-yard interception return. The Bulldogs added a 1-yard touchdown pass from David Riley to Romie Rodriguez in the closing seconds. Riley replaced Gabriel Miranda, who injured a shoulder, in the second half.
"We were too nervous," Williams said. "Total inconsistency today. It was one-sided, but it was about plays. We haven't thrown a pick-six all year. It seemed like today we were a little bit skittish."

Knitter's Review
May 10, 2012
The 39th annual Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival took place last weekend. It's sensory overload, with dozens of sheep breeds and thousands of yarns, fibers, tools, and toys as far as the eye can see.
For those who couldn't make it, I've put together a seven-minute slide show for you. You'll find lots of sheep, pretty skeins of yarn, plates of fried food, and a special "knitty pot."

Morning Briefing: Hungarian Inflation, Polish Pekao Earnings
- Local/GMT
- 0900/0800 Hungary October CPI
- 1130/1030 Hungary 3-month T-Bill auction
- N/A Polish Pekao bank 3Q earnings
Hungary's October inflation report and the third-quarter earnings of Polish lender Bank Polska Kasa Opieki SA, or Pekao, will be in focus in the region Tuesday.
Hungarian consumer price inflation eased to 6.0% on the year in October from 6.6% in September, more than expected, supporting some central bankers' claims that Hungary's easing cycle is rightly in place.
Pekao, 59%-owned by Italy's UniCredit SpA, said Tuesday third-quarter net profit rose 4.2% on higher net interest income.
POLAND: Poland's postal administration is reluctant to hand over control of its banking unit Bank Pocztowy to state-controlled PKO Bank Polski SA, which has made overtures to buy the business, but it may eventually be pushed into cooperation by the government, a person familiar with the process said.
HUNGARY: Hungary's central bank is against taking unconventional measures such as buying government bonds that could upset its aim to bring down inflation, central bankers told DJ FX Trader Monday. "The interest rate is the number one and the most articulate tool for monetary policy. Quantitative easing is unimaginable," Ferenc Gerhardt, a member of the Hungarian central bank's Monetary Policy Council said in a joint interview with fellow rate-setter Andrea Bartfai-Mager.
ROMANIA: Romania's Finance Ministry plans to attract 150 million euros ($191 million) from the local market by reopening a May 2014 euro-denominated bond, which carries a 4.5% coupon, news agency Mediafax reported. The auction is scheduled for Friday, according to a statement posted Monday on the ministry's website. The bond issue was first launched in May 2011, when the ministry sold EUR939.2 million worth of paper, at an average yield of 4.89%.
BULGARIA: Russia's VTB Bank and local lender Corporate Commercial Bank on Monday closed a debt restructuring deal in which it acquired 93.99% in Bulgaria's former telecom monopoly Vivacom, the company said in a statement.

Republican Cindy Wade will look for re-election for a third term as the city of Canandaigua Ward 4 councilwoman; however, North Bloomfield Road resident, and Democrat, Donna Cator will look to unseat her.
Both Wade and Cator said they would like to see improved transparency on City Council, along with better communication between council and city staff members.
Cator pointed to the removal of speed humps on her road in May — without notification to residents — as something that irked her.
Wade had a similar view on the speed hump removal. She also added that she would like to see less of items that are added to meeting agendas at the last minute. Wade suggested that the committee meetings could perhaps be filmed for public benefit.
According to the 2013 city budget, City Council members received a salary of $4,735 this year. City Councilmen and women serve two years terms.

Q. The lakefront is an important topic for many, what are your thoughts on the North Shore development and Canandaigua Finger Lakes Resort?
A. I'm very excited about both projects. I think it's something the lakefront can use, and the city can use. One of the things I'm most excited about — within the North Shore project — they're going to revamp Booth Street. We all know how terrible it is to do Booth Street, coming out of Parkway Plaza. It'll be a much straighter and actually looked at by some transportation people.
Q. What are your thoughts on the Main Street crosswalk issue. How can downtown safety improve?
A. As far as the crosswalks go, it's about perception and education. The law actually says, 'the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk.' It also says, 'no pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb if other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impractical for the driver to yield.' So, in theory it's great to have crosswalks where there is no signal. In reality, you have to have signalized crosswalks.
Q. What are your thoughts on issues in your ward?
A. I'm against city money being used for the dog park. I think a dog park is great, I have two dogs, but certainly not in that location. Why do they want to spend all that time and effort to organize this dog park when everyone uses the VA as a dog park?

Q. The lakefront is an important topic for many, what are your thoughts on the North Shore development and Canandaigua Finger Lakes Resort?
A. I think Canandaigua is already a tourist destination, and that will step it up. I'm exciting for the economic aspect — there will be more stores, hopefully. That will help with tax revenues, it's just going to help the city. I don't know what the negative impacts will be, and that's a reason I want to get involved — to do the research, see what the pros and cons are.
Q. What are your thoughts on the Main Street crosswalk issue. How can downtown safety improve?
A. One death is too many. There's already been more than one, that's unacceptable. But again, how do you make downtown walker friendly, but safe? I don't have the answer, I don't know if it's remove the crosswalks. I know City Council is putting in the crosswalk lights — I'm not saying that's good or bad — but I know they're addressing safety.
Q. What are your thoughts on issues in your ward?
A. People were a little blindsided on the whole Baker Park dog park proposal. Before it gets in the newspaper, and to council, there needs to be communication with those people (near Baker Park). I'm in favor of a dog park concept, but Baker Park is probably not the appropriate place.

With all this bluster about Netflix and LoveFilm, it'd be easy to forget that we also have Blockbuster in the UK. It's still there with its brick and mortar stores, trying to justify its existence. Now it's gone on the offensive with rental exclusives that tie-up films like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for two to three weeks; you won't be able to get them anywhere else, not even streaming.
The nights are drawing in and it won¹t be long until it's colder than a penguin's tit out there. Accordingly, our attentions are turning towards stuff we can do indoors where no one will get needlessly hurt.

How about donating money in the name of the brother-who-has-everything to ensure a program for children with Down syndrome in Cuba can keep operating? Catholic Relief Services, the U.S. bishops' overseas relief and development agency, offers that as one of the alternative gifts one can support with a few clicks on its site, www.crs.org.Or maybe this is the year to buy — in the name of that college-age niece who doesn't need clothes but wants to save the world — a goat or a sheep for a struggling family in a developing country.Save the Children, www.savethechildren.org, and Heifer International, www.heifer.org, are a few of the charities that would be happy to match your money with a family in need of a farm animal, knitting supplies or a clean cooking stove.Save the Children and CRS also both offer sales of handicrafts made by the beneficiaries of their programs.Courtney Lare, economic justice program officer at CRS, oversees CRS online direct sales and its Work of Human Hands consignment sales. She said about 500 parishes and other organizations hold such sales once a year or more.Fair trade coffee and chocolate are the biggest sellers, she said. "And Haitian wall art, especially since the earthquake, is very popular, as are Christian goods like olive-wood ornaments and Nativities." Handicrafts are provided through SERRV and include everything from inexpensive jewelry and Christmas ornaments to hand-knotted Tibetan rugs and other home decor.Although the weak economy has meant the number of participating groups hasn't grown the past few years, Lare said sales are up. Sales range from about $600 for a first-time effort to the more than $40,000 a year that a parish in Ohio sells over a year, Lare said.For charitable gifts that stay close to home, the angel tree or giving tree model is popular. For these, names of needy people and suggestions for gifts they could use are handed out in late November or early December, with the information often written on angel-shaped ornaments. The gifts are returned to the church or a service agency, where volunteers distribute them to the recipients.The angel trees benefiting a program run by Catholic Social Services of Baldwin County, Ala., are all over the county, said Colleen McNorton, Catholic Social Services director.A local online newspaper, the Mullet Wrapper, advertised angel trees being hosted by restaurants in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, for example."Usually they're in churches, sometimes in schools," McNorton said. "Oh, and the Grand Hotel in Point Clear."
The range of locations will help the program give gifts to 5,200 Baldwin County children this year, she said. The population of Baldwin County, which is in the Mobile Archdiocese, is about 186,000.Families in need of help getting gifts for children register with Catholic Social Services, which screens for financial need, she said.A squadron of more than 150 volunteers, along with the agency's staff of 12, does the sorting and matching donations with requests, McNorton told CNS."It's a well-oiled machine," she said of the operation based in a house-sized "Christmas building." "It reminds me of a Santa's workshop from a Christmas movie. The only thing missing is Santa's workbench."And in a nod to the age of online shopping, the Archdiocese of Washington this year will provide gifts for about 490 children who receive services from Catholic Charities, many through an online arrangement that works like a gift registry.Jackie Ogg, outreach director, said the children who receive gifts are in various Catholic Charities programs, such as refugee resettlement, the Kennedy Institute for people with developmental disabilities and low-income housing.
