Accounting Review, March 2009
We examine the economic consequences of more than 150 shareholder proposals to expense employee stock options (ESO) submitted during the proxy seasons of 2003 and 2004, the first case in which the SEC allowed a shareholder vote on an accounting matter. Our results indicate that these proposals affected accounting and compensation choices. Specifically, (i) targeted firms were more likely to adopt ESO expensing relative to a control sample of S&P 500 firms, (ii) among targeted firms, the likelihood of adoption increased in the degree of voting support for the proposal, and (iii) non-targeted firms were more likely to adopt ESO expensing when a peer firm was targeted. Additionally, (i) CEO pay decreased in firms in which the proposal was approved relative to a control sample of S&P 500 firms, and (ii) among targeted firms, approval of the proposal was associated with decreases in CEO compensation and the use of ESO in CEO pay. Our findings reveal an increasing influence of shareholder proposals on governance practices.

JUPITER, Fla.
— Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera said he remains focused on baseball following the release of the police report detailing his February arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
Cabrera was the first Tiger on the field Friday, running through his routine conditioning drills. Afterward, he fielded questions from the media before Detroit's game against St. Louis, though a team official wouldn't allow direct questions about his off-field issues.
"You've got to be step by step, you've got to be day by day," said Cabrera, who went 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs batting cleanup against the Cardinals.
"I don't think about what is going to happen tomorrow. I'm focused about today's games. If we are going to play the Cardinals, I'm focused on what I have to do to be ready to play the game today. That's my goal — taking it day by day."
Documents released by the Florida state attorney's office Thursday say Cabrera threatened a restaurant manager shortly before being arrested in Fort Pierce on Feb. 16.
Cabrera said the latest revelations aren't affecting how he approaches spring training.
"That's my work," he said. "I'm here to win games and play baseball. I don't have anything else to say about that."
Following the game, Cabrera responded to a question about the dashboard camera video that accompanied the police report with a simple, "Next question."
Detroit manager Jim Leyland echoed Cabrera's desire to answer only baseball questions.
"I'm sick of talking about this," Leland said sharply. "I've told everybody for the last time, this is being handled by professional people that are dealing with the situation and will continue to deal with the situation, and I'm tired of guys coming in here looking for (expletive).
"It is what it is. You guys probably have more information than I do. The organization, the commissioners office and everyone else is on board. The situation is being dealt with. End of the conversation."

California Gains its First Combined Hydrogen and Gasoline Station
Shell Hydrogen and General Motors Corporation (GM) opened a hydrogen fueling station at an existing Shell gasoline station in West Los Angeles in late June. The combined hydrogen and gasoline fueling station is a first for California, and only the second in the country: Shell and GM opened a similar station in Washington, D.C., back in 2004. The new station will generate hydrogen via electrolysis, using green power purchased from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. It is the third Shell Hydrogen refueling station in the United States and is part of DOE's Hydrogen Vehicle and Infrastructure Demonstration and Validation Project.
Located on Santa Monica Boulevard, the new hydrogen fueling station will be used primarily by participants in Chevrolet's Project Driveway, which is placing 100 Equinox fuel cell vehicles in the hands of customers in three cities to gain real-world experience with the vehicles. Operating in Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C., Project Driveway is placing the vehicles in the hands of celebrities, the media, public policy leaders (DOE has one), business partners, and last but not least, ordinary customers who have signed up online. See the GM press release.
GM is also working with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to open another hydrogen fueling station near the Los Angeles International Airport. The station is expected to open in late summer or early fall, providing another refueling stop for Project Driveway participants. According to the National Hydrogen Association (NHA), there are now 61 hydrogen fueling stations operating in the United States, with another 37 planned. See the Clean Energy Fuels press release and the NHA's newly upgraded Hydrogen Fueling Station Database.

Sure, the brats are bought using tokens rather than coins, but that's about the only thing that isn't genuine at the Vail Valley's Oktoberfest celebrations.
Between the Bavarian architecture, eats from various local German and Austrian restaurants and visits from the descendents of the old country living in our region, there's an expectation that Oktoberfest in the Vail Valley is going to be a celebration marked by authenticity.
But the original party in Munich has evolved into quite a legend over the last 200 years, and our Vail Valley versions of the celebration has some big Haferschuhs (traditional Bavarian shoes) to fill.
It's true, we don't have huge beer halls, thrill rides or an enormous Bavarian statue, but we do have three straight weekends of celebration, just like in Germany. Beaver Creek kicked things off last weekend and the fun continues today through Sunday in Lionshead and finishes in Vail Village from Sept. 13 to 15.
Oktoberfest originated more than 200 years ago with a wedding on the first Sunday in October. It was a popular party, and in the following years, it made more sense to extend the celebration with parties preceding the main event when the weather (and the spring beer) was likely to be better. That pushed things back into the last two weeks of September, where the bulk of the party remains today.
Here in the Vail Valley, our party is usually wrapping up as Munich's is beginning, and this year, the Vail Valley's Oktoberfest celebrations will be finished before Munich's begins. While the decision to move our celebrations up a few weeks probably wasn't made in deference to the original party extension, the logic was likely the same — start the celebration earlier, when the weather will be warmer.
And thus, Oktoberfest began in August this year.
Role reversal
In our quest for Oktoberfest authenticity, we often grow light-headed trying to summon sound from the alpenhorn. Fortunately, we have Helmut Fricker to fall back on.
A native of the Black Forest region of Southern Germany, Fricker helped put on Colorado's original Oktoberfest at Larimer Square in 1969.
In addition to the alpenhorn, he plays accordion, harmonica, trombone, guitar and is also a prolific yodeler.
The songs Fricker plays at the Vail Valley Oktoberfest celebrations bring a level of authenticity that's seldom found these days — sometimes not even at the Munich party itself. While cover bands there serenade the large beer halls with American classics from the '60s, '70s and '80s in an attempt to rock the crowd, here it's quite the opposite as Fricker keeps folks dancing through the village with classics of his own, brought from his native Germany.
"We would get together with the neighbors on the weekends and sing songs, that's how we learned them," he said of his experience growing up in Germany. "People don't do that today. They watch television instead."
Check out Fricker and his band while they play throughout the valley's Oktoberfest celebrations.
Always a competition
When renowned freestyle ski coach Elana Chase moved to Vail from Aspen a few years ago, one of the things she noticed right away was how competitive area locals were.
"Even if it was just people jockeying for a good seat on the bus, everyone here is so competitive," she said.
Chase came to admire and respect that aspect of life in the Vail Valley, which seems to show itself with special clarity during offseason events like Oktoberfest.
In Munich, public competitions are just one thing to do amid a sea of carnival rides and amusement-park style midway attractions.
In the Vail Valley, the competitions take center stage.
Bratwurst eating contests, keg tossing, keg bowling and stein lifting comprise the action. Crowds form, winners are crowned and bragging rights are earned.
Even the dress gets competitive, with Bavarian costume contests taking place in both Lionshead and Vail.
And Vail's Oktoberfests have 5K and 10K fun runs, events that definitely get competitive despite the family-friendly environment.

The Uncanny
by Rick Stolk
Enter Gallery ›
The Uncanny is a selection of photographs by photographer Rick Stolk. These stark images are deceptively simple; on the surface very little is happening, yet they are strangely unnerving. As Rick explains:
I try to create a sense of "hyperrealism," to give the viewer an uneasy feeling about a place without throwing something in their face. The choice of subject is...subtle and precarious. In the scenes and places I photograph I always feel that "something has happened there," something eerie, something unpleasant, something illegal. There are no people. Have they just left? Are they hiding? Are they coming?We think you'll agree that these images are chillingly beautiful.

ANAWANA LAKE — Deputies say a Loch Sheldrake man fought with authorities and tried to kick out a window of a patrol car during a domestic dispute last week.
Joseph McCombs, 33, was charged with criminal mischief and assault on a police officer, felonies, and resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, misdemeanors.
Deputies responded on June 14 to 136 Anawana Lake Road in the Town of Thompson.
After deputies separated the parties, McCombs became enraged and started to fight and later tried to use his head and feet to knock out the side window when he was put in the patrol car.
McCombs was sent to Sullivan County Jail. Bail was set at $7,000.

Stocks to Watch: Charming Shoppes, CBS, Chesapeake Energy
By Corrie Driebusch and Drew FitzGerald
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Wednesday's session are Charming Shoppes Inc. (CHRS), CBS Corp. (CBS) and Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK).
Ascena Retail Group Inc. (ASNA) has agreed to acquire Charming Shoppes in a roughly $890 million cash deal, hoping the parent company of Lane Bryant will increase its exposure to the steadily growing market for plus-size women's clothes. Ascena is offering shareholders $7.35 for each share of Charming, a 25% premium to the Tuesday closing price for the shares. Shares of Ascena rose 13% to $21.60 premarket, while Charming Shoppes's stock rose 24% to $7.29.
CBS's first-quarter profit leapt a greater-than-expected 80% as content-licensing deals continued to carry the company's top line above Wall Street forecasts. Shares rose 2.9% to $34.38 premarket.
Chesapeake Energy's first-quarter loss narrowed as the natural-gas producer reported a smaller derivative loss from the year-ago period, though revenue fell short of expectations. Results came after Chairman and Chief Executive Aubrey K. McClendon earlier Tuesday said he would step down from his post at the head of the company's board and will terminate a controversial well contract 18 months before it was scheduled to end. Shares were off 8.9% at $17.85 premarket.
Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP) has agreed to acquire Standard Microsystems Corp. (SMSC) for about $830 million as the chip maker seeks to expand its market. The deal values Standard Microsystems at $37 a share, a 40% premium to its Tuesday closing price of $26.24. Shares jumped 38% to $36.32 premarket.
TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP) shares jumped 17% to $42.70 premarket as its first-quarter results beat views. CEO Steve Kaufer touts the quarter's record revenue driven by strong growth across the company, which is still fresh off its spinoff from Expedia (EXPE).
WellCare Health Plans Inc.'s (WCG) first-quarter earnings more than doubled as the managed-care services provider's membership growth contributed to stronger-than-expected revenue. The company also raised its full-year earnings estimate. Shares gained 7.2% to $65 premarket.
Teen-apparel retailer American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (AEO) raised its first-quarter earnings guidance, pointing to stronger-than-expected sales and easing promotional activity. Shares surged 8% to $19.40 in premarket trade.
The Macau government Wednesday gave the long-awaited green light to U.S. casino magnate Steve Wynn's expansion plans in the world's biggest gambling center. The approval will give the chief executive of Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) his first toehold in the Chinese territory's up-and-coming Cotai area, already home to mega resorts such as rival Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s Venetian Macao. Wynn's stock rose 2.8% to $138.53 premarket.
CVS Caremark Corp.'s (CVS) first-quarter earnings rose 8.8% as its pharmacy-benefits-management business again performed well and it drew more customers to its pharmacies. Crediting a "solid" performance in the quarter, CVS raised its full-year earnings target, and shares rose 2.6% to $45.85 premarket.
OpenTable Inc. (OPEN) reported in-line first-quarter revenue and earnings that slightly beat consensus, but shares fell 16% to $36.52 on disappointing guidance. The online restaurant-reservation company's international results were particularly soft, and its second-quarter view projected what Stifel Nicolaus calls "more severe" international losses than it previously believed.
Energizer Holdings Inc.'s (ENR) fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 99% on better-than-expected sales as the consumer-product company unveiled plans to initiate a dividend program and buy back stock. The company also backed its full-year earnings estimate. Shares rose 4.5% to $73.95 premarket.
Thoratec Corp.'s (THOR) first-quarter earnings jumped 55% on stronger sales of its HeartMate and CentriMag products, leading to better-than-expected results. The company also raised its full-year guidance. Shares jumped 7.8% to $37.20 in light premarket trading.
True Religion Apparel Inc.'s (TRLG) first-quarter earnings rose 16% as strong direct sales continued to drive revenue growth. The jeans maker also launched a 20-cent-per-share dividend and authorized up to $30 million of stock buybacks. Shares were up 9.4% at $30.50 premarket on the stronger-than-expected results.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved a new treatment developed by Protalix BioTherapeutics Inc. (PLX, PLX.TV) for adults with a type of Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder. Shares of Protalix surged 25% to $7.72 premarket.
Genworth Financial Inc.'s (GNW) first-quarter earnings fell 20% as the insurer was hurt by lower premiums and issues related to natural catastrophes and regional economic slowdowns in Australia. But Genworth said its chief executive, Michael Fraizer, had resigned Tuesday, abruptly ending a rocky tenure. Investors cheered the departure, sending shares up 5.2% to $6.47 in recent premarket trading.
Open Text Corp.(OTEX) Tuesday said it aims to boost its offering of cloud-based services with the friendly acquisition of Atlanta-based EasyLink Services International Corp. (ESIC). The Waterloo, Ont.-based software company said it's offering $7.25 in cash for each EasyLink share, a 14% premium to EasyLink's Tuesday close price. Shares of EasyLink rose 13% to $17.19 in recent premarket trading.
Broadcom Corp.'s (BRCM) first-quarter earnings sank 61% amid higher expenses, but revenue got a boost from the company's wireless chip business and a recent acquisition. Shares were still off 1.2% at $36.25 premarket.
Devon Energy Corp.'s (DVN) first-quarter earnings fell 5.5% as unusually wide Canadian oil price differentials contributed to the independent oil and gas producer's slower-than-expected revenue growth. Shares slipped 3.9% to $67.93 premarket.

Past Exhibitions: 2003
Andy Goldsworthy: Mountain and Coast, Autumn into Winter
Through April 13, 2003
Internationally renowned Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy has spent the past two decades revealing nature's secrets. Through the careful selection and arrangement of items readily found in nature, Goldsworthy creates installations in the natural environment that last from only a few moments to several years. The tools of his trade are his own two hands; his media are stones, sticks, leaves, sand, feathers, snow, ice, or whatever the natural environment offers him. Fixing his fragile compositions in place are thorns, water, ice, and gravity itself. His results are amazing.
In a work where he affixes wet red leaves to the side or top of a faceted stone, the viewer is made aware of the multitude of intersecting and interlocking planes that make up the landscape. A line of multicolored autumnal leaves, held together by thorns, floats sinuously in a slow-moving stream, revealing the invisible currents constantly flowing before our eyes. A pile of stones, whose colors are graduated from white to black, celebrates the diversity of naturally occurring elements.
Some of Goldsworthy's works also function on a more abstract level, much like an abstract painting or sculpture. A theme found in several of his pieces is a dark circular void or hole in the center of the composition. Whether created through the use of found sticks and twigs, carefully stacked and color-graded leaves, or white, black, and gray pebbles, these manmade circular forms seem out of place in the natural environment, yet they reference and mimic the cyclical character of nature with its endless rounds of birth, growth, death, and rebirth.
Another abstract form in Goldsworthy's compositions is a curving and undulating line. While these animated and dynamic lines seem snakelike in their character, many other natural analogies come to mind, from the meandering of a river, to the trail cut by wild pigs through the undergrowth, to the curvilinear contour of an oak leaf.
Throughout all his investigations, Goldsworthy evokes a time before the flight to urban environments, when people were generally more connected to the natural world and attuned to its habits, tilling the soil, building stone walls to hold in animals, dealing with floods, storms, and droughts. Through Goldsworthy's work, we experience the world he knows and the world that our ancestors knew.
Given the fleeting nature of most of his creations, Goldsworthy's photography of his works is often the only artwork that we are witness to. Serving not only to document the work, the photographs capture both the temporary arrangement and a sense of the inherent soul of the piece. Accessible and poetic, Goldsworthy's creations and the photographs of them inspire a rediscovery of the beauty, bounty, and diversity of the world in which we all coexist, both with each other and with nature itself.
Sean M. Ulmer
Andy Goldsworthy: Mountain and Coast, Autumn into Winter is made possible by National City Bank. Additional support has been provided by the Office of the President of the University of Michigan, Matthaei Botanical Gardens, and the Friends of the Museum of Art. This exhibition was organized by Haines Gallery of San Francisco in cooperation with the artist.

No of new factories fall in January
Only 254 new factories were opened in January, falling by 23.26 per cent from 331 in the same period last year, according to the Industrial Works Department.
Nattapon Nattasomboon, the director-general, said that the number has fallen since December. He said in January last year, more food processing plants - mostly operated by small and medium-sized enterprises - were opened.
In January, the new factories employed 5,905 jobs, down by 6.77 per cent from 6,334 in the same period last year. Their investment value also dropped by 28.82 per cent from Bt12 billion to Bt8.5 billion. Only 30 factories announced expansion plans in the month, compared to 46 in the same period last year.
"The number may fall by two main reasons. First, the service centres like the the department's office was shut down by the anti-government protesters, blocking them from obtaining licenses. Second, business confidence has been dashed," Nattapon said.
Asked if the February 2 election would enhance their confidence, he said it depended largely on when the political protests and conflicts would end. He noted that some investors with projects worth Bt100 million to Bt1 billion still can wait a few more months.
"The department is now monitoring the impacts, particularly on SMEs. The manufacturing sector should not be largely impacted by the protests, but their orders may drop if product sales drop," he said.

Rem Rieder's off-key paean to Judith Miller (see "In Praise of Judith Miller," June/July Web Special) fails to address the question that the public and the courts raise: Is she legally above the law? The courts unanimously say she isn't. It matters not to the media, who continue on their merry, self-important way, confounded by why the public holds them in such contempt.

To Vegan or not to Vegan? The Yogi's Dilemma
The New York Times article "When Chocolate and Chakras Collide" triggered a cascade of associations for me around yoga, food and eating disorders. I am a proponent of any diet that makes you feel well in both body and mind, and that one person's food can literally be another person's poison. I truly appreciate the dilemma that many folks face when they decide to commit fully to the precepts and teachings of yoga, but I also think there is another side to the story – that of "rules and restrictions."
A young anorexic
At the tender age of 13 I became a strict vegetarian, denouncing my mother's New Orleans culinary gifts of fried chicken, chicken fried steak, jambalaya and pork fat french fries. You see, at age 11 I started practicing Yoga. Mom brought home the Jane Fonda Workout and the Raquel Welch Yoga videos, which became my daily obsession and ritual. Along with my new found love of movement and my body, I began to create a lot of new rules around food. I lost all of my baby fat … and then some.
By age 12, I had gone from 95 pounds to an anorexic 65 pounds. I was so proud of myself. Food became intolerable, and I kicked my mother's cooking to the curb. I insisted on controlling every drop of oil that went into my body, no mayonnaise, no lard, no butter, etc. My love of yoga supported my new diet. My yogic beliefs included a strict interpretation of "ahimsa" or non-violence, which translated into to eating light on the food chain as a vegan. It also helped me to maintain my weight loss.
Phase 2: Bulimia
Fast forward to college … I met many other women who had similar concerns about their food. We were dancers and budding yoginis (go figure) and our obsessions supported each others' bizarre habits. One of my new favorite tricks was to purge, just like my hero Jane Fonda. When one of my best friends ended up in the hospital, emaciated and on a death-watch, I finally woke up to my eating disorder and my pain.
Healing begins
My journey back to nourishing myself was a roller coaster of unraveling beliefs, admissions of trauma and internal growth. I began to study massage and thankfully comforted myself with an even deeper practice of yoga and meditation, and developed what is now my Core Integration program. Well into my recovery, at age 23, I moved to Santa Monica, our nations' Yoga capital. For the next few years, I was still a strict vegan, but I had indeed kicked my bulimia and anorexia. Though no longer "acting out" my disease, I still struggled to like myself.
Somewhere around 30, I had a revelation. I was so sick of building rules around food! There were so many NOs in my life: no meat, no butter, no mayonnaise, no eggs. I had skewed a great dislike of myself into my need to punish myself and control food. It amounted to a lot of negativity that scared my family, friends and boyfriends. I finally made a connection: all of the NOs were keeping me in a perpetual state of closure, denial, restriction and fear. What if I just started saying YES to everything (well, almost everything) including the foods I had demonized?
And that was it! I turned the ahimsa around and stopped assaulting myself with my own propaganda. I started to taste everything with the taste buds of an optimist, and my heart finally opened. In fact, I met my husband who is so loving, supportive and not a vegetarian!
What do you choose?
Look at yourself and your rules around eating. Are they destabilizing you or empowering you? What if you said YES where you've been saying NO? There are many reasons to be a vegan, and just as many arguments to be an omnivore … And many will say it depends on your body or blood type.
With great respect for all your conscious choices, I look forward to your response, and of course, totally respect your decision!
If you are a loved one have an eating disorder, please seek out help, these diseases can be fatal, you are not alone, and you can heal!

Rapper Z-Man will bring a taste of the Bay Area's Hieroglyphics crew to the South Shore this week.
The rapper is affiliated with the long-standing Oakland hip-hop collective and is a member of One Block Radius, a trio that saw some commercial success with their 2008 debut, after years of individual and independent efforts.
The single "You Got Me" was played on more than 190 radio stations.
The group has an eclectic taste in music, to say the least.
"If you HAD to describe the (One Block Radius) sound, it would probably sound like if Steve Winwood, Hall & Oates, Earth Wind and Fire and David Bowie listened to some Sublime, The Pharcyde and Tribe Called Quest, got high and made an album on an SP1200," according to the group's website. "It's a different sound — and that's just how they like it! One Block Radius is finally doing it right and the sky is the limit."
As for Z-Man himself, he released a solo album, "California Brainwashed," in September.
"90's mob turf music sums it up," Z-man wrote in a Facebook post promoting the album. "I'm from the '88 era where hip hop music was hungry young and lively," according to the page.
Longtime Bay Area DJ, DJ True Justice, joins Z-Man next week.

Poetics trying to transcend genres
Temecula's Chad Lamar and Kristian Garcia, Riverside's Curtis Christy, and Lake Elsinore's Dan Heimann - the four guys who make up Poetics - come in peace.
"(The band's name) Poetics was inspired from a book called 'The Poetics of Space,'" Lamar said. "We've always liked the idea of choosing a name that doesn't automatically make you know exactly what kind of genre we play. For some reason, Poetics stuck.
"Rather than putting a stamp on what we thought or knew would describe us appropriately, over time, we have grown into the name. It's a name that transcends genres and that's essentially what the book talks about. Transcending space through shapes. We're aiming to transcend our space through sound."
Together for just over a year, the quartet progressed from an on-again-off-again duo (Lamar and Heimann), to a trio with the addition of Garcia in July of 2011, to a full-fledged quartet shortly thereafter when Christy joined up.
Though they've faced obstacles during their time together, as most bands do, they have held fast to their expectations and goals as a means of motivation to forge through it all.
Poetics with Absence of Heroes, Empty Spaces, Street City, Anatomy of a Salesman, When All Rests, Uncalled 4, and Morning Story as part of The D.I.Y. Shows Strike Back
When: 6:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: The Vault, 41607 Enterprise Circle North, Temecula
Tickets: $10
Info: 951-296-9993, thevaultconcerts.com
"The biggest thing is that we want to move people in the same way that our inspirations have moved us," Garcia said. "It's a way of giving back and wanting to share with people a piece of us. With that said, this experience so far has been an incredible opportunity to reflect upon ourselves and to keep creating music that is heavy, interesting and meaningful."
Poetics play Saturday at The Vault in Temecula, alongside Absence of Heroes, Empty Spaces, Street City, Anatomy of a Salesman, When All Rests, Uncalled 4, and Morning Story as part of The D.I.Y. Shows Strike Back. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show is open to all ages. Upcoming shows include Bratt's in Temecula on Jan. 12.
"Expect a performance," Lamar said. "We are active with crowd communication and very energetic. While we probably won't ask you to come on stage while Curtis throws knives at targets around your body, please know that if you're not on your feet, we will let you know."

SANTA ANA, Calif.—Authorities say two Orange County jailbirds were back behind bars just six hours after their release—after they allegedly broke into one policeman's car and tried to rob a second officer.
The Orange County Register ( http://bit.ly/190FFBt) says Jose Ortiz and Ryan Tischer were freed around 7 p.m. Wednesday. A short time later, they allegedly stole a van and drove it to a parking structure next to the police station.
Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna says around midnight Ortiz allegedly tried to steal a cellphone from a man walking to a car—who happened to be an off-duty policeman.
Bertagna says Ortiz was being booked into jail when the booking officer noticed his own keychain among the man's possessions. It was taken from his car in the garage.

Pulse is an online magazine, arriving in the virtual mailbox once a week with a single carefully edited story or poem, usually about a medical encounter. Many contributors are physicians, nurses, or social workers, some still in training and others reflecting on decades in practice; other writers come to the medical encounter as the patient or the patient's relative. This collection of the stories and poems published in the first year of Pulse is organized by publication date rather than by theme; thus, in some ways it recreates the experience of receiving these writings, week by week, moving from perspective to perspective, from voice to voice to voice.

Cry, the Beloved Country
by Alan Paton
Cry, the Beloved Country Chapter 28 Summary
- It's time for the judge to hand down his sentence.
- But first, he summarizes the case from the perspectives of both the defense and the prosecution.
- The judge decides that, even though the other two defendants—Johannes Parfuri and Matthew Kumalo—seem pretty suspicious, there still isn't enough evidence to convict them of willful murder.
- The judge also decides that, even though Absalom claims he did not plan to kill Arthur Jarvis that night, he has still confessed to shooting him in his own home. That's pretty cut and dried.
- The defense has tried to prove the Absalom is just a simple country kid led astray by the temptations of the big city. And they've also tried to show that he has suffered from the larger loss of social and moral support as a result of the destruction of traditional black tribal society by white colonization of South Africa.
- But the judge points out that, even if Absalom is a tragic victim of broader social problems, he can't go around carrying guns and shooting people.
- So, without further ado, the judge sentences Absalom to hang.

The Clash Lover's Rock Lyrics
Last updated: 02/05/2011 11:00:00 AM
Yeh, you must treat your lover girl right
If you wanna make lover's rock
You must know a place you can kiss to make lovers rock
'Cause everybody knows it's a crying shame
But nobody knows the poor babie's name
When she forgot that thing that she had to swallow
You Western man, you're free with your seed
When you make lovers rock
But woops! there goes the strength that you need
To make real cool lovers rock
'Cause a genuine lover takes off his clothes
And he can make a lover in a thousand go's
An' she don't need that thing that she had to swallow
Thanks to kayleigh cavaleri for submitting Lover's Rock Lyrics.

For Parents of Newborn, Hospital Went From Safe to Scary
For Charles Rosenbaum and Kimberly Landman, Sandy's arrival came with a surprise. On Sunday morning at NYU Langone Medical Center, Ms. Landman gave birth to a baby girl, Alice, weighing in at just 5 pounds and 2 ounces. She was several weeks early.
As the storm bore down on New York, the couple found themselves stuck in a hospital, which they thought would be the safest place to be. From their 13th floor room they had a view of First Avenue and could see the surging water levels.
"For a little while there it was obviously concerning but we felt that we were in one of the safest places to be with the generators and the doctors," said Rosenbaum.
Until the generators failed. At about 7 p.m. as the hospital lost power and switched to generators, the power was scaled back. But their room still had one light and they could charge their phones. At about 1 or 2 a.m. at least some of the back-up generators appeared to fail, and the floor went dark, said Rosenbaum. Nurses used pen and regular flashlights and gave out glow sticks to patients for extra light.
"It was dark, it felt like we were camping," he said "It was quite an experience."
The water pumps eventually stopped working and staff distributed bottles of water.
Because his wife and baby were in good condition, they were not given priority to leave, which Rosenbaum said he was fine with.
"We had a little bundle of joy that we had to protect so it was definitely a heightened sense of concern," he said.
"It was very organized and kind of very well done despite the fact… that it was a bit of a surprise to us that the power in the hospital would go down," he said. "It was a mix of emotions."
On Tuesday morning the couple was released from the hospital. However, it turns out things at home weren't much better. Their Chelsea home had lost power. Now, they are staying with friends on the Upper West Side.

When the food appeared on the table Will piled his plate but ignored his food. He was in a weird mood apparently and he couldn�t figure out why. He didn�t want to talk, reason enough that he needed medical assistance, and he wasn�t hungry when he was usually always hungry. He couldn�t figure it out. Will took one look up and down his table and then made the crazy decision to pick up his plate and stand. He looked around the hall again and spotted the Hufflepuff girl at her house table. Confidently, he made his way between the tables towards her. He knew people were staring but he didn�t care. He wanted to meet someone new and shake the feeling that something was wrong with him. The younger student she had been talking to a few moments ago saw that he was head towards them and made room for him. Will took a seat and put his plate down on the table. He turned to the surprised girl and smiled.
�Hey I�m Will, Will Ackerley.�
�So I�ve seen you around a lot. You a seventh year?� He asked to make conversation. He could feel the stares of the other Hufflepuffs at the table all wondering what he was doing but the time of separate house tables was coming at an end. It wasn�t as apparent at the Start of Term Feast, but most students mingled at the different house tables since the fall of Lord Voldemort. Still the tradition of sitting at house tables was a die-hard tradition. Many older students still found it odd to sit at a different table, while the younger students liked the idea but lacked the confidence to do it. Will was neither, so tradition be damned. He didn�t feel like catching up with friends in Gryffindor. He felt like meeting someone new.

Baseball swept by Florida Tech
Posted by Will Creager, Asst. Sports Editor on Feb 24, 2013. Filed under Sports.
The Eckerd College baseball team (5-7 overall, 0-3 in SSC play) started off SSC play on a rough note, getting swept in a three game series by Florida Tech (11-3, 5-1) Feb. 22-23.
The first game, which took place at the Turley Athletic Conference on Friday night, started out as a pitchers' duel. Starting pitchers Jason Boyer of the Panthers and Andrew Pierson of the Tritons matched zeros through the first three frames.
The scoring finally got started in the fourth inning, when center fielder David Johannessen led off the inning with a home run, giving Florida Tech a 1-0 lead. The Panthers would add two more runs that inning, and picked up a run in both the fifth and sixth innings, opening up a commanding 5-0 lead.
Eckerd fought back, picking up two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth inning on a two-run double by left fielder Mike Vavasis.
The score would stay 5-2 until the eighth inning, when Florida Tech broke things open by scoring four runs against the Eckerd bullpen. After Eckerd went quietly in their half of the eighth, the Panthers scored twice more in the top of the ninth to extend their lead to 11-2.
The Tritons tried to make things interesting with a ninth inning rally. A hit by pitch and two walks loaded the bases with one out, which led to a two-run pinch-hit double by A.J. Witkowski.
Eckerd added one more run on an RBI ground out by right fielder Tyler Abadal, but their rally fell well short and Florida Tech won the first game by a final score of 11-5.
The first game of the doubleheader on Saturday once again started out looking like a pitchers' duel, as this time Cody Lewis and Kevin Plant, the starting pitchers for Florida Tech and Eckerd respectively, held their opponents scoreless through the first three innings.
However, from the fourth inning on, the Panthers' bats heated up while the Tritons stayed cold at the plate. Florida Tech scored at least one run in each of the last six innings, while Lewis and three relievers combined to throw a six-hit shutout, as the Panthers cruised to an 8-0 win.
In the final game of the series, Eckerd's offense finally showed up, as they scored four runs in the first inning to give Eckerd their first lead in the series. Third baseman Lee Spinelle, Abadal and center fielder Jake O'Rourke all picked up RBI hits in the inning.
Triton starting pitcher Jordan Huchro looked like he was going to make the 4-0 lead hold up, as he limited the Panthers to just two singles through the first three innings. However, Florida Tech struck for three runs in the fourth inning, including a two-run homer by first baseman Scott Carcaise.
Eckerd was able to get two of those runs back in the bottom of the fourth on consecutive RBI hits by shortstop Rowdy Andrews and outfielder Lincoln Dunham. Florida Tech then scored two runs in the sixth inning, with help from three Eckerd errors, and Eckerd took a 6-5 lead into the seventh and final inning.
The Panthers had two on with two outs when catcher Austin Allen hit a three-run homer, giving them an 8-6 lead. This ended up being the final score, as Eckerd was unable to score in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Eckerd will try to get back on track Feb. 26, when they host Florida Memorial University in a non-conference matchup. Eckerd resumes SSC play with a three-game series at Florida Southern College March 8-9.

Have a question that isn't included here? Email us: Campus Operations
A. All plots will be kept for thirty days after being marked ready for pickup. Following the thirty day period, we will clean out and recycle all unclaimed plots.
A. If your PowerPoint plot is the correct size and format and still missing content it is probably not your fault. This is a common problem and our current solution can be found here. We are also working on a more permanant and better solution.
A. Yes, it is possible to insert a PDF file into PowerPoint. In order to do this go to the Insert tab and then select Object. Next select Create from file, and then click Browse and find the desired file you wish to insert into PowerPoint. Once you have selected your file, click OK and it will insert the first page of your PDF file into PowerPoint. Note: This will only insert the first page of the PDF, you will need to split the file into multiple files to get more than one into PowerPoint.
A. The plot queues correspond to two paper widths: 36" and 42". Each new roll of paper contains 100 ft of paper, so technically a plot that is 100 ft long could be printed. The dimensions of your plot can be made to anything you desire, as long as they fall within the bounds of the selected queues (36" x 100' for CCIT Plot 36 and 42" x 100' for CCIT Plot 42). To save paper, an exact dimension of 36" or 42" can be used. The most common plot sizes include: 36" x 24", 36" x 48", and 42" x 36". Note: Any dimension between 42" and 46" should not be used, because these dimensions cause the document to rotate incorrectly. Also, for any plot exceeding 10 feet in length, you should contact Printing and Plotting so that they can ensure enough paper is loaded onto the plotter for your plot job.
A. Printing Services allows students, faculty, and staff to print to two queues: CCIT Plot 36 and CCIT Plot 42. Specifically for faculty and staff with departmental accounts, the queues CCIT Plot DEP 36 and CCIT DEP 42 are avaliable.
A. Several programs are available on campus that students, faculty and staff can print from. The most commonly used programs used to plot include MS PowerPoint, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and Adobe Photoshop. Several other programs, usually those specific to a curriculum, are also used. For more information about curriculum specific software (such as architecture), please consult your college consultant. We do not recommend plotting from MS Word or Excel. For more information on how to plot, please visit our Plotting How-to's.
A. Yes and no. Gradients print fine, but will often take a long time to print because of complexity. It is recommended that solid color backgrounds be used.
A. All plots are bound to a 24 hour turnaround time. While the required amount of time may in reality be much shorter, users should always allow for this delay! All users should receive an email whenever their plots are released to the plotters. Users may pick these up as soon as the printing process is complete. Generally, you may pick your plots up 2 hours after having received email notification that your plot has been released.
A. Once finished printing, plots are immediately available for pick-up at the Customer Support Center located on the second floor of the Cooper Library. After checking in and being called up to the Front Desk an attendant will find your plot(s) for you. Normal business hours are: Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM except for during university holidays. (Note: On Fridays when there will be a home football game the following Saturday, the hours are 8:00AM - 4:30PM).
A. Yes. Campus Operations runs the plotters Monday-Friday 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM and Sundays 1:00 PM - 10:00 PM, except during university holidays. (Note: On Fridays when there will be a home football game the following Saturday, the hours are 8:00AM - 4:30PM).
A. There is no direct access for the user to their job once it has been submitted. Please call us immediately at 656-4766 to delete the job. If we do not hear from you or your job is printed before you contact us, then your account will be charged for the plot.
A. Consult the Plotting How-to's section. If the application from which you desire to print is not listed, read the documentation for another (perhaps PowerPoint - the printing process is a bit more involved). A great deal of important information is presented in each How-to!
A. Campus Operations employees inform users of significant problems (e.g. plot was printed out 8.5" x 11") via email. Be sure to check your email (the username under which the plot was submitted) often in order to avoid unnecessary trips to the Customer Support Center.
A. The plotter is for academic use only! All non-academic and/or wasteful plots will be cancelled. Any user that submits non-academic and/or wasteful plots may have their plotting rights suspended at any time.
A. At this time, no interface is available for this purpose.
A. The CU seal and other official graphics are available on the Share drive (S:\), assuming you have logged into Novell on a Windows workstation. These graphics are available in several different formats, but the two most commonly used are EPS and TIFF. TIFF graphics are similar to traditional bitmaps, implying that such documents are not as suitable for printing. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) graphics are specifically created for printing purposes, and are infinitely scalable (this is usually a safe assumption).
EPS versions of Clemson University graphics can be found in the following location:
As PowerPoint and several other applications support the direct insertion of EPS graphics, this resource may be used quite easily. Simply treat the graphic as a standard image file, and proceed to scaling the inserted artwork as required.
A. Users are allowed to submit no more than 2 copies/pages per print submission. If, for example, you need 10 copies of your plot, you should either a) send your job 5 times with 2 copies each, or b) send your job individually 10 times. Users that submit more than 2 copies/pages per submission will only receive the first two pages of their print job - if any at all. All other copies/pages will be deleted.
A. No. Plots are printed in the order they are received. We guarantee you will have your plot, assuming it was submitted correctly, within 24 hours of submission (Monday - Friday). To be more specific: if you need your plot by 10am on Tuesday, you should submit it no later than 10am on Monday. If you wait until 9am on Tuesday to submit your plot there is no guarantee that it will be printed in time. It is your responsibility to have your plots printed by the time due; not ours.
A. The most important thing to remember is that the plotting staff does not and can not alter any print jobs that are on the queue. If your plot printed incorrectly, it is because it was submitted incorrectly.
A. No. We do not accept email submissions. All plots must be submitted properly through the queue for printing.
A. No. We only print on rolls of paper. Sheets will not be accepted.
A. Yes. We will print on non-regular paper to a limited degree. The user must supply his or her own paper - we will not provide any paper other than the Heavy Weight Coated paper the plotters currently utilize. Non-regular paper can be expensive (over $200/roll in some cases) and users should keep this in mind when considering printing on non-regular paper. Additionally, the user should consult a Campus Operations employee before purchasing any materials - the plotters can only take certain types of paper and it is best to be sure that we can handle your request before making any purchases.
Because Campus Operations prints, on average, over 100 plots/day, it is very important that the user understand that their plots, when printing on non-regular paper, do not become a priority over other students/faculty plots. Printing on non-regular paper is time consuming and labor intensive, and will only be done during slow periods. With this in mind, if you should need plots printed on non-regular paper, you should have your plots, paper and any other materials ready no less than 2 weeks before the project due date.

Back On My Grind
April 23rd, 2007 by Dan Meyer
Thanks for all the commisseration on my recent crisis post. That was helpful.
After last week's pummeling I came in today with fists figuratively flying. I took some time this weekend to reconnect with what I love most about this linear unit which has been hitting me so hard. Namely, I dig that you can draw a mathematical picture of any situation in life and that sometimes — oftentimes — that picture can predict beyond the picture itself.
Armed with that enthusiasm, my usual workaholicism, and a righteous indignation over my lousiness last week, I banged out — no joke — the single greatest lesson of my career. By a long shot. The silver medalist is gasping for air a few miles down the road.
I beg your pardon but words and modesty both fail me right now. I wish I knew a better way to pull off lessons like these than through copious man-hours (18 over this weekend for a 45-minute lesson) but, at this point, that's my only tried-and-true technique for not sucking at this job.
So encompassing was the idea and so onerous its demands I have no doubt its execution would've taken me a commited week last year at this time if it didn't break me first. This math lesson was a planning marathon run at a sprinter's pace. It sucked graphic design, video production, and creative writing into its orbit, which was about as exhilarating for me as you can imagine.
Naturally I want to show it off, inviting suggestions for improvement and accusations of overhype. I need a week to tweak some things (can't bring anything less than the best to the blogosphere), format the supplementals correctly, and (teaser!) figure out how to properly seed a torrent file. 'Til then, hope teaching's been treating you as well.

Why am I envisioning you in some sort of lesson planning training montage?
Weird you mention it since it occured me (during the weekend) that I was adopting Sylvester Stallone's grief process from Cliffhanger. He chose the monastic order while I opted for a purging lesson-planning marathon. Life imitating cheesy 90's art.

[…] All that said, one point of yours demands some clarification. … you seem to believe that the only way to succeed in a classroom is to spend a pretty ridiculous amount of time preparing each lesson. […]

The zombie apocalypse is upon us! The Italian flavoured one at any rate. Once more. Man, that guy doesn't know how to stay dead. Silvio's vanity knows no bounds and, boy, do the markets hate him. Don't his shares[i.e. wealth] drop, too?
Are the voters who vote for him the living dead?
If only the consequences of those idiotic voters stayed within Italy but it doesn't. :p
First glance looked like Nixon.
Kinda funny how the bad politicians win in default.
Good 'toon.
Nightmarishly funny :p
Now that you mention it ……………

Please click HERE to go to the FAFSA website. This is where you fill out the FAFSA online, which generates your EFC (expected family contribution) and your SAR (student aid report). You will find the current FAFSA priority deadline on the FAFSA website.
The Federal Student Aid website provides all kinds of information about federal student loans, grants, tax incentives and other tools to help you pay for college and manage your loans.
The FSA ID replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN on May 10, 2015. If you or your parent has not logged in to a Federal Student Aid site (such as fafsa.gov or StudentLoans.gov) since May 10, you will need to create an FSA ID before you can log on in the future. We strongly encourage you and your parent to create your FSA ID now so it will be ready to use when you need it to file the FAFSA. Be sure you know the username and password you create as you will use these frequently in the future to access Department of Education websites.
Students, parents, and borrowers are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to access certain U.S. Department of Education websites, including the FAFSA application. Your FSA ID is used to confirm your identity when accessing the student's financial aid information and electronically signing any federal student aid documents.
If you are a dependent student, both you and your parent will need your own FSA ID's. It's important to understand that the student and the parent may not share an FSA ID: Your FSA ID is your signature, so it has to be unique to you.
Your FSA ID is used to sign legally binding documents electronically. It has the same legal status as a written signature. Don't give your FSA ID to anyone—not even to someone helping you fill out the FAFSA.
Be sure you have immediate access to the email address you give in the first step of creating your FSA ID. Later in the process you will be asked to retrieve information from an email sent to that address to verify your email address as yours.
If you already have a PIN, you can link your information to your new FSA ID by entering your PIN while creating your FSA ID. If you've forgotten your PIN, don't worry; you can either enter the answer to your PIN "challenge question" during the FSA ID registration process to link your PIN, or you can just create your FSA ID from scratch. If you create your FSA ID from scratch, you will be required to wait 3 business days before you can use your new FSA ID to access websites or electronically sign a document.
You can create an FSA ID when logging into certain Department of Education websites, including the FAFSA or studentloans.gov. OR at www.fsaid.ed.gov and carefully read and follow the directions. Help is available throughout the FSA ID site by clicking the question marks next to every question.
