Post Description
After being the first team to hand the Ducks a loss this season on Friday, the Canucks (2-1-1) will look to do the same tonight to the red hot Sharks (4-0-0) at the HP Pavilion at San Jose.
- The Canucks earned at least one point in all four meetings against the Sharks last season (3-0-1), including winning both games played in San Jose by identical 3-2 scores.
- The Canucks have not lost a regulation game to the Sharks in two consecutive seasons amassing a 6-0-2 record against San Jose in their last eight outings there.
- The Canucks have a four-game win streak at the HP Pavilion in San Jose entering tonight's game.
- Ex-Canuck F Cody Hodgson and Sharks F Logan Couture each had three goals and four points in last year's season series to lead their respective teams. Vancouver F Kevin Bieksa and San Jose F Joe Pavelski had four assists each in the season series.
- This is the first time this season the Canucks are facing an opponent that played the day before. Last season, Vancouver was 5-1-1 against teams that had to play the day before. San Jose blanked Colorado 4-0 yesterday.
- The Canucks don't expect to make any lineup changes tonight despite the fact F Maxim Lapierre missed practice yesterday. F Manny Malhotra is also back with the team following the birth of his son on Thursday in Vancouver.
- The expected goaltending match-up will see Cory Schneider go up against Antti Niemi. Schneider has a 3-1-0 career record against the Sharks with a 4.10 GAA and .922 save percentage. Niemi has a 3-6-0 career record versus Vancouver with a 3.13 GAA and .901 save percentage with one shutout.
- Canucks' captain F Henrik Sedin will appear in his 897th career game as a Canuck tonight moving him into sole possession of second place on the franchise's all-time games played list. Trevor Linden sits atop the list having appeared in 1,140 as a Canuck.
- Friday's win over the Ducks saw the Canucks score at least one goal in all three regulation periods. Last season, the Canucks managed that feat on 22 occasions. They had a record of 18-3-1 in those games.
- The Sharks are off to their best start since 2008.09 when they similarly burst out of the gate with four straight wins. That year they won 13 of their first 15 contests and ended up capturing the Presidents' Trophy at the end of the season. They have never won five games in a row to start a season.

The ATV Safety Institute has created a handy online course so that dealership sales teams can better understand the responsibilities they assume when selling ATVs and UTVs.
It's no secret that the ATV industry has come under fire in recent years from consumer groups, local and national media, and even federal regulators for selling units that may be too big for certain riding groups, namely those under 16. Thousands of ATV accidents involving children have occurred while the youths were riding adult-sized quads.
"Improper sales practices by dealer staff nationwide have been the focus of embarrassing investigations by the media and by the Consumer Product Safety Commission," said Lee Durlach, managing editor-communications for the Irvine, Calif.-based ASI. "Far too often, salespeople have been caught, sometimes on-camera, being willing to sell an adult ATV even when the intended use of that ATV is clearly for a child."
The ASI, along with its member companies, has developed strict sales guidelines as a result. Failure to comply with these guidelines may not only endanger the customer, but the salesperson could lose his or her job, and a dealership could put its vehicle franchise at risk.
The ATV Sales Force E-Course takes about 30 minutes to complete, and includes a brief quiz at the end. Salespeople who complete the course can print out a certificate and add it to their list of training achievements. ATV distributors are able to review a database of those who have completed the course.
Dealers nationwide are now using the course as part of new-hire orientation, or even annual training. For more information, visit www.svia.org or contact the ASI at 949-727-3727.

Best notebook you can get at the slated price range!Got mine few days back. I had held my purchase decision in light of availability of Ivy Bridge Core i7 mobile processors. Currently, only Dell [Alienware] and HP are offering Ivy Bridge CPU based notebooks in Indian markets. And with a price tag of 60k, this is a steal not a deal.

This thing is a beast!I got this laptop from HP world Pune yesterday! And till now, this is a POWERHOUSE! And I mean it! I installed all the essentials and it blazed through every installation! It's absolutely amazing. The battery life is 6 hours for normal web surfing. Which comes down to 3 hours while gaming! Heating is not an issue at all! Under normal use you wont feel any heat or even the fan rotating! The screen isn't as big a dissapointment I expected it to be! I mean for the resolution being 1336x768. Pretty clear and accurate. Colours are wonderful as well!

CMO Today: Media Investor Carl Icahn Gets Beaten — Sometimes
Here's your morning roundup of the biggest marketing, advertising and media industry news and happenings. Send tips, suggestions and complaints to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Click here to read CMO Today in your email inbox daily.
GANNETT TAKES WORDS OUT OF ICAHN'S MOUTH: It's not often a company gets out ahead of activist investor Carl Icahn, but it turns out Gannett's decision last week to split in two achieved that feat. Mr. Icahn disclosed Thursday he had accumulated a 6.6% stake in Gannett, with intentions of pushing for a split of the company, WSJ reports, until Gannett beat him to the punch. Meanwhile WSJ takes a look at how Mr. Icahn sold out of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. and MGM Holdings too early, missing out on as much as $2 billion in gains. While he scored $600 million in profits on the investments, both stocks have done even better since he sold thanks to box office hits like "The Hunger Games" and "The Hobbit." The Journal quotes Mr. Icahn saying "I often sell too soon," adding "But like in the song 'Mañana,' my record is good enough for me."
PARTYING LIKE ITS 2007: The news has been a bit gloomy in the media world of late, with reports of softness in advertiser demand in the second quarter and weakness in the TV upfronts. But on Thursday, GroupM provided a bit of hope. The WPP-owned media buying group predicted that overall ad spending is headed back to pre-recession levels, reports WSJ's CMO Today.GroupM says that ad revenue should climb by 4.5% this year, reaching $534 billion in 2014, and spending should actually jump a healthy 5% in 2015 to $560 billion. That's bigger than the pre-financial crisis peak (hey, it only took eight years).
YAHOO GOES SELF-SERVE: Is Yahoo being forward thinking by opening up some of its best ad inventory and data targeting options to anybody with a laptop and a credit card? Or are they risking cheapening their best inventory? That's the question one might ask in light of news–reported by Ad–that Yahoo is making available some of its top inventory, including ads on certain home pages, as well as data targeting, via a self-serve buying platform. You can look at this a few ways. Yahoo is embracing programmatic ad selling, cutting out middlemen and eliminating unnecessarily manual transactions (and maybe the need for too many salespeople). It's the type of strategy that AOL CEO Tim Armstrong has won praise for pursuing. And companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter have gone after huge numbers of small and midsized advertisers by offering self serve products. Those advertisers' money is as green as anybody else's, after all. The tricky part here for Yahoo is that the company's top sites have brands to protect–their image theoretically makes them appealing to advertisers. Yahoo has already been criticized for having some schlocky advertisers invade its native home page ad space. What if cheap looking webads.com type brands start stealing the best ad slots atop Yahoo Sports or Yahoo News? Can they drive down pricing, or make those properties less desirable to the bigger advertisers? Yahoo must think the opportunity is worth these risks, particularly given the past couple of quarters where ad revenues were soft.
ICE COLD COKE: Nothing provides a better product placement opportunity like a grassroots fundraising effort aimed at fighting disease. At least that's what they might be thinking down at the Coke offices in Atlanta. Wendy Clark, senior vice president of integrated marketing at Coca-Cola Co., is the latest person to jump in on the social media phenomenon that is the "ice bucket challenge" aimed at raising money for ALS Association, i.e. Lou Gehrig's disease, reports the WSJ. But of course, like a true marketer, Ms. Clark couldn't help herself. Her ice dumping video included plenty of branding: the Coke polar bear dumped a bucket of ice on Ms. Clark's head, and she dried herself off with a bright red beach towel that read: Coca-Cola. Hey, it's not exactly subtle but if Coke ultimately raises lots of money for ALS, that a fair tradeoff.
SELFIE GOLD: The proliferation of digital photographs, which have become a means of self expression among the younger, "selfie" generation, could be the next big opportunity for advertisers, if they can cull the right data from people's photo patterns, reports Mashable.For instance, a company called Ditto Labs says that by sifting through user-generated photos, it can pick up on people's brand preferences, or even things about products that advertisers maybe never knew–like the fact that many Chobani lovers eat while driving. The company is already working with advertisers like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Cadillac and Coca-Cola, but Ditto Labs isn't the only one looking to crack the big photo data challenge. Pinterest, Facebook and Google have all made investments in this realm. Of course, privacy advocates will have a field day if marketers start using photo-derived data too overtly, but young Americans' willingness to capture and share nearly everything about their lives seems to be a trend that will continue unabated–and marketers won't be able to resist trying to exploit it.
ELSEWHERE: Fox Broadcasting has promoted Dave Madden, the head of Fox TV Studios, to run entertainment programming at the Fox network, reports the Los Angeles Times…On the heels of its critically successful series "Manhattan," superstation WGN announced plans to produce more original series, reports Adweek…NBC is replacing David Gregory as host of "Meet the Press" with veteran political correspondent Chuck Todd, reports CNN…Microsoft may look to sell its recently shuttered Xbox Entertainment Studios group, reports The Hollywood Reporter…Consolidation continues in the Mexican TV business as Grupo Televisa has acquired the cable-TV operator Cablecom reports WSJ.

Virgil Shipley/News Chatting with Ohio Senator Kris Jordan, left, are, Julie Herman and Diane Holley, during Jordan's visit Thursday evening to the Knox County 912 Group at the Knox County Career Center. Buy Now
MOUNT VERNON — Sharing his experiences during his first term as Ohio Senator and answering questions of concern from the public was Senator Kris Jordan-R, Delaware, on Thursday evening when he was guest of the Knox County 912 Group at the Knox County Career Center.
The evening began with executive board member Mary Garn reviewing the nine principles and 12 values of the 912 Group. Garn shared statistics from the 2013 election where among the 60,700 county residents, there were 46,100 eligible voters and 38,000 registered to vote. Garn said it was "shameful" that only 11,500 people actually voted. She urged everyone to encourage others to vote, reminding them that 47 times in Ohio an election was decided by one vote.

A New Way for Doctors to Get Sued
A man taking several prescription drugs passes out at the wheel, drives off the road and hits and kills a 10-year-old boy. Can the boy's mother sue the doctor who prescribed the drugs?
Yes, Massachusetts's Supreme Judicial Court ruled yesterday, the Boston Globe reports. The mother's lawyers allege that the doc failed to warn his patient about the side effects of the medications and the potential danger of driving while taking them.
The patient was 75 years old and had emphysema, high blood pressure and metastatic lung cancer. He had prescriptions from his doctor for oxycodone, Zaroxolyn, prednisone, Flomax, potassium, Paxil, oxazepam, and furosemide — drugs whose side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and fainting, according to the Globe. He reported no side effects in the months before his accident, however.
Other states have been divided on the same question of physician liabilty, and the judgment in Massachusetts wasn't unanimous. In a dissent, Justice Robert J. Cordy wrote that the ruling "introduces a new audience to which the physician must attend — everyone who might come in contact with the patient."

I created four information graphics that were used by DSM Personal Care at In-Cosmetics 2015; a major trade show held in Barcelona.
Sun and Scalp is all about a new ingredient that offers both sun protection and styling.
Hair Mood is about a new ingredient called TILAMAR® Fix A140
The posters were displayed in a pod that was designed to show the thinking behind the innovation that led to the creation of ingredients for skin and hair care.
I produced these graphics for "Safety Matters", a publication for AWU members. The article this accompanied was about workers safety when working on jobs that involve height. There are still people killed every year on the job because of accidents from falling.
The flow chart was designed so readers could quickly see the industries, and sub-industries where the majority of deaths occur. The second table was a little information graphic to remind people of the safety measures that need to be taken to stay safe on the job.
These are small projects that I work on when I get a chance. They satisfy my curiosity about some of my favourite film makers, as well as help build my online portfolio as a lot of the work I produce for clients is confidential and can't be shared here.

An audio interview with SEVENDUST, conducted by KISW 99.9 FM at the Hooky Day concert on August 19 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington, can be downloaded in MP3 format at this location.
SEVENDUST are gearing up for the October 11 release of their fifth studio album, "Next", on WineDark Records (distributed by Fontana Distribution, a division of Universal Music and Video Distribution). A video for the album's first single, "Ugly", was shot in Los Angeles, CA on August 28 and 29 with P.R. Brown (BILLY CORGAN, MÖTLEY CRÜE) behind the lens. It's expected to invade TV airwaves by mid-September.
Not one to turn down an invitation to help support troops fighting overseas, SEVENDUST recently participated in an extra special event hosted by WAAF-FM in Boston. On August 26, the station broadcasted live from a brand new home built by Homes For Our Troops (www.homesforourtroops.org) for an Iraqi war veteran who recently returned home and is now confined to a wheelchair. The band leant a hand to the construction of the house throughout the day and entertained the 300-plus volunteers with songs old and new at a party later that evening.
SEVENDUST are currently making plans to launch a U.S. tour starting in January. Stay tuned for details.
New Sevendust Song Clip Available Online
A 38-second audio sample of the new SEVENDUST single, entitled "Ugly", has been posted online at this location (Real Media).
"Ugly" is the first single off SEVENDUST's upcoming fifth album, "Next", due on October 11 via 7Bros./WineDark Records. The song, which is scheduled to go for radio adds on August 8, was described by drummer Morgan Rose in a recent MTV.com interview as a mixed bag with a "huge chorus, broken-down verses and really heavy bridges."
"Next" marks the recording debut with the band of new guitarist Sonny Mayo (ex-AMEN/SNOT). Mayo joined SEVENDUST earlier this year as the replacement for Clint Lowery, who left the group mid-tour in December, citing "personal issues." Lowery has since become a full-time member of DARK NEW DAY, the new "supergroup" also featuring Brett Hestla (ex-CREED, VIRGOS MERLOT) on vocals, Will Hunt (ex-SKRAPE, TOMMY LEE) on drums, Clint's brother Corey Lowery (ex-STEREOMUD, STUCK MOJO) on bass, and Troy McLawhorn (ex-DOUBLE DRIVE) on guitar.
"Next" is the follow-up to "Seasons", which sold a respectable 68,000 copies in its first week of release back in October 2003 to land at position No. 14 on The Billboard 200.
WineDark Records is distributed in the U.S. by Fontana Distribution, a division of Universal Music and Video Distribution (UMVD). SEVENDUST's last four albums were issued through TVT Records.
Sevendust Update
Sevendust have tapped the track "Ugly" as the first single from their forthcoming new outing "Next". The track is set to impact at radio on August 09th, while "Next" will see a release through 7Bros./Winedark/Universal on October 11th. You can read more on the album here.
Sevendust Talk About New Album
SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose recently spoke to MTV.com about the recording process for the group's new album, "Next". SEVENDUST's fifth disc, "Next" is the band's first release for the Universal-affiliated WineDark Records after a lengthy stint with TVT Records.
Regarding the songwriting process for the new CD, Rose said, "There was no one really to tell us what to do — and over the past few records, there had been a lot of opinions from a lot of people on a lot of different aspects of the records. We pretty much had the reins to do what we wanted on this record, so we really were able to not worry about any outside influences. I don't want to sound too cliché, but we went back to our roots, because we were able to do some stuff that hadn't been accepted very readily over the last few records.
"Over the last few records, the powers that be were telling us that we didn't need to be doing what we were doing," Rose explained. "We were told, 'You need to be listening to the WHITE STRIPES and the STROKES' — we were told, point blank, to go buy WHITE STRIPES and STROKES records to see what they sound like. I almost fell out of my chair when I heard that. It was like, 'Houston, there's a major f---ing problem here.' "
Rose decribes the new album, due on October 11, as "definitely a hybrid of heavy stuff and melodic stuff, but we don't leave much room for interpretation. It's a straightforward record."

Dark New Day Enjoying First Tour
Launch Radio Networks reports: New rock "supergroup" DARK NEW DAY is currently on its first national tour, opening up for CHEVELLE, and guitarist Clint Lowery (ex-SEVENDUST) told Launch that things couldn't be going better for the band. "So far, I mean, the CHEVELLE guys, we have a little bit of history with those guys and me personally, I've known 'em for a long time, and, you know, it's a great way for us to introduce this band," he said. "You know, I think our music goes along with CHEVELLE's style as well, and I think their fans have been really supportive and, you know, our fans from the previous bands have been very cool and have come up to the shows, and I think it's a perfect blend."
DARK NEW DAY's debut album, "Twelve Year Silence", hits record stores on June 14. The first single from the disc is called "Brother".
The band was formed by Lowery and his brother, ex-STEREOMUD bassist Corey Lowery, after years of planning to work together.
The group also includes ex-SKRAPE drummer Will Hunt, former DOUBLEDRIVE axeman Troy McLawhorn and one-time CREED touring bassist Brett Hestla, who sings lead vocals in the new group.
Dark New Day To Open For Chevelle
DARK NEW DAY, the new "supergroup" featuring Clint Lowery (ex-SEVENDUST) on guitar, Brett Hestla (ex-CREED, VIRGOS MERLOT) on vocals, Will Hunt (ex-SKRAPE, TOMMY LEE) on drums, Clint's brother Corey Lowery (ex-STEREOMUD, STUCK MOJO) on bass, and Troy McLawhorn (ex-DOUBLE DRIVE) on guitar, have been tapped to open for CHEVELLE beginning in early April.
As previously reported, DARK NEW DAY have selected "Brother" as the first single off their debut album, "Twelve Year Silence", due this summer via Warner Bros. Records. The single is scheduled to go for radio adds on April 18.
"Twelve Year Silence" was mixed with producer/mixer Ben Grosse, who has previously worked with FILTER, FUEL, SEVENDUST and ALTER BRIDGE. A MySpace.com page containing three advance cuts from the album — "Taking Me Alive", "Lean" and "Heal In Time" — can be found at this location.
Sevendust's Morgan Rose Gives Update
Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose sent out the following update in the group's latest newsletter: "It's been a while since I've talked to everyone. Things are incredible for us right now and I hope everything is great with y'all as well. As you know [new guitarist] Sonny [Mayo, ex-Snot/Amen] is in our family and actually has been a brother to us for many years. We've been in Orlando for a little over a month bonding and it's been amazing.
"Sonny has brought so much to the table musically as well as spiritually. I can't describe how happy we all are. We will be hitting the road in early April and can't wait to see all of you. There is so much more to talk about, but we'll leave that to another time. It will be in the near future though, so just be a liiiiitle patient.
"We love you guys and can't tell you how thankful we are to have you as family to all of us. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks."
ex-Snot, Amen Guitarist Joins Sevendust
Former Snot/Amen guitarist Sonny Mayo has joined Sevendust. He replaces Clint Lowery, who left at the end of the year to start his own band, Dark New Day.
Supergroup Changes Name To Dark New Day
The new "supergroup" featuring Brett Hestla (ex-CREED, VIRGOS MERLOT) on vocals, Will Hunt (ex-SKRAPE, TOMMY LEE) on drums, Clint Lowery (ex-SEVENDUST) on guitar, Clint's brother Corey Lowery (ex-STEREOMUD, STUCK MOJO) on bass, and Troy McLawhorn (ex-DOUBLE DRIVE) on guitar has changed its name to DARK NEW DAY from the previously announced DARK BLUE. No reason was given for the name change.
DARK NEW DAY are currently mixing their debut album with producer/mixer Ben Grosse, who has previously worked with FILTER, FUEL, SEVENDUST and ALTER BRIDGE. A June release via Warner Bros. Records is expected.
As previously reported, DARK NEW DAY will make their live debut on Saturday, February 19 at Wills Pub in Orlando, Florida. All proceeds from the gig, which will also feature a one-off reunion by SKRAPE, will go to the family of Sam Verrella, the owner of ARS studio, who he sadly passed away on December 31, leaving his wife and newborn son behind.
Sevendust Guitarist Quits Tour
As of Tuesday morning, December 14, 2004, guuitarist Clint Lowery has left the current Sevendust tour due to "personal issues," according to an official statement. "Sevendust has made the decision to continue its present tour for its deserving fans and deliver a show one has come to expect from the Sevendust moniker," the statement continues.
Sevendust are continuing to tour behind their acoustic live CD/DVD, "Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live", available on TVT Records. Recorded and filmed at The Georgia Theater in Athens, GA, the set contains many of the band's greatest hits, including "Bitch", "Too Close To Hate", "Black", "Xmas Day", "Broken Down", and a cover of the NINE INCH NAILS/JOHNNY CASH classic "Hurt". The DVD side contains over two hours of live footage and tons of DVD extras.
X-Fest 8, Huntington, WV Report
My assignment was simple; infiltrate X-Fest for an interview with Bobaflex via backstage passes provided by the tour manager. I was prepared for this assignment, questions written in an organized fashion, digital voice recorder fully charged and tested, along with the digital camera for the after interview photos of the band and their live show. Plans to meet the tour manager at the gate were confirmed days earlier, along with rules on photographing, recording and time limitations.
About 12:35 on Saturday, October second, we parked my truck in the post office parking lot, two blocks from the front gates to Harris Riverfront Park. The park sits on the north end of downtown Huntington, West Virginia, directly on the Ohio River. The second was a cool day, grey and gloomy from the full cloud cover. The air was wet and the ground muddied from showers before sunrise. As long as the rain held, it was excellent weather to be at a crowded all day rock concert, surrounded by hundreds of tattooed people wearing black. More...

Eighteen Visions Part With Drummer
The following message was written in the Eighteen Visions online journal:
"So im gonna do a real update for once, maybe ill throw some humor in there. Ok so we did 2 weeks on the Vans Warped Tour. It was great to be on the same tour with such great bands as Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls, Alkaline Trio, Yellowcard and NOFX. We Played on the Smart Punk Stage with great bands and good friends Underoath, From First to Last and Saosin. The days were long and hot, but fun to tan, hang out with beautiful women and pogo mosh to The Casualties. I wish we could have been on more of the tour. Maybe next year we will get the full tour and play a main stage.
In other band related news...We just recently parted ways our drummer Jason Shrout and it was on good terms. We love that fool and hope that one day he will shave his legs. =) We now have Trevor Whorror aka The Dark One. You may also know him from having almost 7,000 friends on myspace.
We were suppose to start the Lost Prophets tour yesterday, but due to trailer problems we were stuck in Arizona for 2 days. We got it fixed and then drove to Houston to get our old trailor that our awesome merch guy Zipper [justin] wrecked. Now we sit here in North Carolina on a day off. We play tomorrow here and this will be our first show of the tour... Sorry to everyone in DC and Philly that we couldn't play. We will be back real soon, I promise. A awesome bonus about our day off here is that we get to see Sevendust tonight. I know to most of you people you think that's a joke, but fuck...they are heavy as fuck! They are true black metal."

Sevendust Acoustic Cd Details, Tour Dates
SEVENDUST have finalized the track listing for their upcoming acoustic live live CD/DVD, "Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live", due on May 4 through TVT Records.
Recorded and filmed at The Georgia Theater in Athens, GA, the set contains many of the band's greatest hits, including "Bitch", "Too Close To Hate", "Black", "Xmas Day", "Broken Down", and a cover of the NINE INCH NAILS/JOHNNY CASH classic "Hurt".
"It's just the lighter side of us and a really deeper side," singer Lajon Witherspoon said. "People weren't used to us scaling it down and doing something like this. But our fans loved it."
The DVD side contains over two hours of live footage and tons of DVD extras. Filmed with eight cameras, it's the best SEVENDUST live show ever made available.
Each copy of "Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live" will contain 20 collector postcards featuring live shots from the tour, a SEVENDUST branded guitar pick and a 24-page booklet filled with never before seen photos, notes from fans, set lists, tour advertisements and much more. The two-disc set is contained in a stunning cardboard casing surrounding a double jewel case.
"We're about to get out there again to promote our current album 'Seasons', but we wanted to release something new for our fans," Witherspoon said. "In our minds, 'Southside' is a companion piece to our latest album."
Beginning April 8th in Rochester, New York, SEVENDUST's "Seasons" tour will hit over 30 cities within seven weeks and will feature three opening acts: COLD, APARTMENT 26 and ATOMSHIP. SEVENDUST recently finished a vastly sold-out winter tour in support of the band's fourth album, "Seasons". The band has recently added several dates to the tour, which currently runs through May 16.

DISTURBED, STAIND and HOOBASTANK are among the acts that will participate in this year's Rolling Rock Town Fair.
The fifth annual edition of the music festival will happen on July 31 at Westmoreland Fairgrounds near Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
DISTURBED singer David Draiman told Launch Radio Networks that the band may book some other shows around the same time as the Town Fair.
"I'm thinking that we're probably going to set up some sort of a run revolving around that date, just to kind of keep ourselves in the game," he said. "You know, so that we're not just going down there and coming back, we'll probably play some shows along the way and along the way back."
An abbreviated version of The Town Fair will hit the road in Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle before coming back to western Pennsylvania, with slightly different lineups on all three shows. The June 12 show at Boston's Suffolk Downs will feature SEVENDUST, THREE DAYS GRACE, and FINCH, while FINGER ELEVEN will join those bands on June 19 at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.

The New York Times
The federal government has given generously to the clean energy industry over the last few years, funneling billions of dollars in grants, loans and tax breaks to renewable power sources like wind and solar, biofuels and electric vehicles. "Clean tech" has been good in return.
During the recession, it was one of the few sectors to add jobs. Costs of wind turbines and solar cells have fallen over the last five years, electricity from renewables has more than doubled, construction is under way on the country's first new nuclear power plant in decades. And the United States remains an important player in the global clean energy market.

Unclear writing in this industry is understandable. There is so much technical information and so many numbers packed into typical biotechnology and pharmaceutical documents - SOPs, investigative reports, technical assessments, nonconformance memos, and process characterization protocols - that the quality and style of writing often takes a backseat to accuracy.
Many scientists write in fear, teetering between giving FDA too much information and too little. If they give too much, they may be opening up issues that they'd rather not broach; if they give too little information, they can be slammed for being incomplete, evasive, or unaware.FDA regulators have expectations. They want accuracy, but they also want the comfort that comes from reading a document that sounds authoritative because it is clear, error-free, and easy on the eyes. Poor writing - loaded with vagueness or wordiness or lacking parallelism and correct punctuation - can negatively influence any reader, including those who hold the fate of an application in their hands.
Five tips address the biggest writing problems among biotechnology professionals. (Other writing problems abound, so consult the "Better Writing Resources" sidebar for useful guides and reference materials.) Each tip is bolstered by examples drawn from actual documents (blanks are used to maintain confidentiality).
Be concise Conciseness is not the same as brevity. Brevity means being brief; conciseness means using the fewest words to get your message across. Here are a few examples of wordy sentences followed by concise revisions:
Original: "A minimum pH of 6.87 was observed during the process."
Revision: "During the process, the lowest pH was 6.87."
Original: "In order to meet the demands of the ______ industry, alternate methods of _____ must be developed."
Revision: "To meet the demands of the ______ industry, alternative methods of ______ must be developed."
Comment: In this revision, I cut two words and also changed "alternate" to "alternative," which is the word I believe the writer is after. Mark Twain once said, "Use the right word - and not its second cousin." "Alternate" strikes me as "the second cousin" because it means "to occur in successive terms."
Original: "The pH went down to 6.83 by the time corrective action was taken."
Revision: Use "fell to" or "dropped to" instead of "went down to."
Comment: The original sentence shows poor word choice.
Original: "Process characterization of the commercial manufacturing process can help ensure efficient validation, consistent process performance, yield improvements, minimize process excursions and aid in the investigation of process deviations."
Revision: "Characterization of the commercial manufacturing process is important because it ensures that validation is efficient, performance is consistent, and yield is improved as well as process excursions minimized and investigation of deviations aided."
Comment: There is no reason to settle for the repeated use of the word "process" throughout that sentence. Also, the revision helps keep the thoughts parallel. In other words, instead of some thoughts starting with verbs (ensure) and others with phrases that sound like nouns (yield improvements), all of the phrases should start with either verbs or nouns. You should not mix-and-match the two.
Keep it simple There is no need to use big words when small ones will do. Obviously you must use big words if they are the right words - such as the names of products, chemicals, or other proper names. However, try to take some of the starchiness out of your writing by asking yourself if a simple word would do as well or better than the word you've chosen. For example:
Original: "A scaled-down model for each unit operation must be qualified prior to initiating process characterization experiments."
Revision: "A scaled-down model for each unit operation must be qualified before starting process characterization experiments."
Comment: "Before" communicates the same information as "prior to" but more directly.
Be specific Even highly intelligent technical professionals occasionally get lost in their own thoughts. When this happens, they may write a phrase that is fuzzy and hard to picture. Usually, if an editor asks a writer what he or she means by a particular phrase, the writer will provide a new phrase that clears up the problem.
If documents aren't checked carefully, you may come across a phrase like the following one taken from an investigative report:
Original: "These experiments were scaled up to a large scale for final _______ production."
Revision: "These experiments were scaled up to commercial production."
Comment: Scaled up to a large scale? What exactly does that mean?
Don't leave phrases like "scaled up to a large scale" to the reader's imagination. When it comes to FDA reviews, vagueness is held against you.

Up Close and Personal
Greg, what advice can you offer your peers?
Tough times never last – tough people do! When you look back at the challenges and adversity that you have faced over the years, you will be surprised at what you are capable of "surviving." There inevitably will be tough times throughout your personal life and your career. How you handle them will determine how you "survive"; however, without them, you wouldn't appreciate the good times.
What is your least favorite buzzword and why?
My least favorite buzzword, according to BuzzWhack's Buzzword Compliant Dictionary (www.buzzwhack.com), "seamless" or "seamlessly" is defined as "one of the great technology marketing myths, as in 'Our software can be seamlessly integrated into your current system.' " Truth: It's never seamless and it takes an extra nine months and $2.3 million to get it close. How often do sales people promise you a seamless transition? Typically, you can expect that the sales representative includes "Murphy's Law" in the package, at no extra charge.
Do you have any hidden talents?
During the years I attended university, I had my own clock-making company called Designs of the Times. I designed and manufactured wooden clocks.
When Greg Johnston says he's weathered the storm after a day on the job, if it's in January or February, chances are he's not kidding.
Johnston, vice president, property management, at Ottawa, Ontario-based Colonnade Development, knows that cold, Canadian winters – as picturesque as they appear – can pose plenty of property management challenges.
"Ottawa's average annual snowfall is approximately 100 inches," Johnston explains. These heavy snows, not to mention temperatures that drop to below -10 degrees F. and swing back up to milder weather in the span of a week shape the way Johnston and his property management group maintain the company's 2.1 million square feet of space in the Ottawa area.
"We do take proactive measures at each of the properties in preparation for the winter months," Johnston says. Preparations include shutting down and draining exterior landscaping systems, cleaning up the property to remove fallen leaves, and inspecting rooftop drains to ensure they are clear for proper drainage during warm spells and in the spring.
Once the cold North wind begins to blow, Johnston and his team rely on the expertise of various contractors to help them keep properties operating efficiently and safely until warmer days return. Still, 100 inches of snow over the course of only several months is enough to produce a little stress – even for the most seasoned property manager. The winter season does pose liability concerns for landlords. With ice and snow comes the potential for slips and falls.
"Although we have a couple of the best snow removal contractors in Ottawa providing our snow removal services, my anxiety level increases slightly with the arrival of the first flakes," admits Johnston, a 17-year veteran of the commercial properties industry.
Colonnade's snow removal contracts require contractors to clear the walks and parking lots by 6:30 a.m. Johnston confesses that he sets his alarm for 4:30 a.m. when the forecast predicts a heavy snow overnight. "I will head into work and inspect a few properties on the way in to ensure that the removal services are completed or at least in progress," he says. "I have all the confidence in our snow removal contractors; however, I would prefer to address any concerns or issues prior to the tenants' arrival at the properties."
Colonnade structures its snow removal contracts based on a minimal snow fall of 60 inches, with a rate per inch in excess of the 60-inch base, ensuring that the contractors' costs are covered in unseasonably mild winters. And, if it snows more than the minimum, Colonnade is paying for the actual snowfall.
Ottawa also is susceptible to midwinter temperature swings. It's not uncommon for residents to weather mild temperatures mixed with freezing rain one week and withstand constant sub-zero temperatures the next. The combination of inclement weather, and multiple freeze-thaw cycles can place a significant load on roofing structures. In extreme conditions, the company contracts structural engineers to assess load levels. "There is greater potential to sustain building damage due to the extreme exterior temperatures, particularly if there is a failure of any of the interior services," Johnston says.
Johnston – an Ottawa native – wonders if the grass is greener on the other side of the continent, but the feelings always pass.
"In 1989, a fellow property manager and I vacationed in Florida and commented on how nice it would be to manage properties in a climate with less temperature extremes," he recalls. "However, each geographic region is faced with its own challenges. And in Ottawa, the benefits of skating on the Rideau Canal, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing just 30 minutes from the city center far outweigh the management challenges imposed by our winter climate."

VOICE Conference : Chris Wagner
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
April 7, 2007
Need a website tuneup?
Chris Wagner's lecture on voice over on the World Wide Web will give you several ideas on how to renovate your online real estate.
Read, take notes, and apply!
Discover some of the hottest website secrets unleashed at VOICE 2007.
Chris Wagner was the first to lecture on the second day of the VOICE Conference (Thursday March 29, 2007).
A veteran of the computer industry, Chris works for Sun Microsystems and is currently a voice actor and the owner of WBCDesign. Chris carved a niche for himself in the business of voice acting online, 30 years in the making.
Chris began his lecture by sharing the results of a search he conducted on Google recently for the term "voice actor", a search query which yielded over 350,000 results.
In 1994, there were only 3000 websites on the Internet. To give you an idea of how far we've come in this the Information age digitally, this past month alone (March 2007), there are over 110 Million websites online.
By anyone's calculations, that's quite a number of websites to think about let alone rank above.
This lecture was engineered to help you build a proper web presence and reach your target audience. The first step is to know who you are targeting and what your message is.
A simple website design is better. When you complicate things, people get confused and it is easier to stray from your main objective which is converting traffic into customers.
Try to keep the number of clicks on your own personal website to a minimum. Saving people from having to click may earn you their business by keeping them focused on the task at hand while evaluating your website and voice over offerings.
According to Chris, you should AVOID:
• Sites more than 1 page long
• Information that doesn't correlate with your main message
• Automatic audio that cannot be turned off (install a mute or stop option)
• Multiple font types
• A hit or visitor counter
• Linking to unrelated websites
• Linking to your competition
• Poorly written text (copy)
• Reliance on search engines for all business
• Copyrighted material that you don't have permission to use
• Offensive materials that slander other businesses
Now, here's a list of things you SHOULD have on your website.
Website Elements
• Contact Information
• Voice Over Demos (current demos)
• Testimonials
• Links
• Professional Headshot
• Biographical Information (2 paragraphs)
• Credits and Work History
Delivery Options
• Email audio files
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
• Secure client login to FTP
Website Improvement Ideas
Keep in mind that you are never really ever "finished" working on or improving your website. Here are some great tips to build into your website maintenance and promotion regime.
• Follow a review schedule
• Make a list of changes / improvements
• Keep time sensitive material up to date
• Check your website on a regular basis
• Submit your website to major search engines
• Focus on Keywords
• Use domain name as part of your email address
• Do link exchanges with Voices.com and other marketplaces
Potpourri (A Hodgepodge of great ideas for you)
• Use web filters to stop spam!
• Make use of ID3 tag templates in recording software for demos to tag your audio
• Send a newsletter to clients that ties back to your website
• 1074 by 678 is standard for pixel size
• Place tracking software on your website (Google Analytics)
Lastly, your website should reflect your unique personality. After all, you are really selling you and your voice over services.
I hope you've enjoyed this article - it was one of my favorite lectures.
Looking forward to your comments,

I would respectfully disagree with the point Mr. Wagner makes regarding one of the things he says you should have on your web site: "Professional Headshot".
I do not include a headshot on my site on purpose. If I were a big name voice artist, it might be fine, but for folks like me it can be a hindrance. One of the most respected agencies in Los Angeles will tell you that voice talent should refrain from placing their headshot on the site... it has absolutely nothing to do with voiceover whatsoever.
A voice actor should allow the listener to imagine you as they want.
For example: Let's say someone is looking for a movie trailer voice; before they even click your demo they will make a determination of sorts about what you might sound like from your picture and perhaps choose not to listen at all... you DON'T want that. They usually envision a big husky guy yet you might not fit that description at all... will they take the next step to listen, maybe and maybe not.
Another example: If I'm producing a spot and need an older male voice, you might very well be able to sound like an older male but your picture looks like you are in your late 20's, thus I immediately consider moving to the next talent... it's simply the way our human minds work and as voice actors we need not shoot ourselves in the foot... let the client's mind work in your favor.
Headshots, in my opinion, have no place on a voice actors web site... we act with our "voice".
Try out what I'm saying, check out some talents sites who have pictures and see what your first impression is when you see their face... it's interesting!

Great job recapping the Chris Wagner lecture!
I took the most notes during Chris's session- over 4 pages! What a fantastic, professional, and knowledgeable person Chris is!
It was hard putting my own website 'out there' for his critique (in front of 200 of my new friends!), but what I learned was invaluable! Needless to say my website will be redesigned soon... professionally! Hah!
KaraPosted by:
Thank you for this post. Chris had a lot of excellent and thought-provoking things to say during his presentation. I enjoyed it all even though, like Brian, I didn't agree with every point.
For voice talent that also work on camera or on stage, a head shot makes sense. For those of us who work exclusively on mike, it does not. Brian has also made the points about this very clear.
The other area of disagreement for me is about linking to the "competition". At the end of it all, none of us really has any competition; because each of us has a unique sound that is shaped by life experience, age, training, and a host of other factors. If someone wants my sound, they're not going to hire Brian, or Kara, or Frank or Don or anyone else. They'll hire me.
What's more, if they come to my site looking for a specific sound, don't find it in my demos, but do find it at one of the sites to which I've linked that's good. The client is satisfied and one of my friends has more work. I see that as a win-win. I haven't lost anything, because not being right for the job, I wasn't going to be cast for it anyway.
Be well,
Thank you Voices.com for such comprehensive coverage of VOICE 2007.
I do have a headshot on my site as I do on camera work sometimes. I also trade links. I felt Chris' lecture points were poignant. I wrote several memos to self during his presentation, as well as other items I've posted for myself on my blog too.
Thanks for listening.
Bobbin BeamPosted by:
I am honored that you took such great time to capture the essence of my presentation.
I can tell you that VOICE 2007 was a wonderful experience for me, and I enjoyed meeting as many people as I did.
I think that what I was aiming for in my presentation was to get people to think more about their web site, and how they could use the internet to further their Voice Acting business.
If you got just one thing out of it that worked for you, then I reached my goal.
I would be shocked if everyone agreed with everything that I said. I think the variety of opinions and best practices that are out there make not only our community stronger but a more interesting place as well.
Just a quick point to Brian in Charlotte on the professional headshots. I am sorry you misinterpreted what I said, or perhaps I wasn't as clear. Yes, people do make choices based on what they see. I really feel it is up to the artist whether they want to have their headshot up there or not.
What I said was that if they were going to place a headshot on their site, make sure it was a professional one, not a headshot taken by a friend or family member with a disposable camera.
It comes down to what you want to present on the site and whatever you choose to put there, make it look professional.
I look forward to reading more comments, and just want to let you know that I really respect your opinions!
If we all thought the same, what a boring world this would be.
Wishing all of you the best for your Voice Acting career!

Outstanding Chris. Well done and soooo professional.
You are truly legit!
I like the "avoid" and "what to look for" I wish I were in voice overs so you can be my mentor.
I do a cute little animated cartoon voice that my kids love. haha

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Administrative Committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for a constitutional amendment to protect the unique social and legal status of marriage.
In Catholic belief, "marriage is a faithful, exclusive and lifelong union between one man and one woman, joined as husband and wife in an intimate partnership of life and love," the 47-bishop committee said in a statement released Sept. 10.
"What are called 'homosexual unions,' because they do not express full human complementarity and because they are inherently nonprocreative, cannot be given the status of marriage," the committee said.
It warned that "the importance of marriage for children and for society" is under attack in U.S. courts and legislatures and in popular culture and entertainment media, which "often undermine or ignore the essential role of marriage and promote equivalence between marriage and homosexual relationships."
The Administrative Committee -- composed of the USCCB's executive officers, elected committee chairmen and elected regional representatives -- is the highest policy and decision-making body of the bishops apart from the entire body when it meets twice a year in general assembly.
The committee, which met in Washington, did not specify language for a federal marriage amendment.
Rather, it committed the bishops to promoting the "essential role of marriage ... in our teaching and preaching, but also in our public policy advocacy at the state and national levels and in the important dialogue about how best to protect marriage and the common good in the U.S. Constitution and in our society as a whole."
"We offer general support for a federal marriage amendment to the U.S. Constitution as we continue to work to protect marriage in state legislatures, the courts, the Congress and other appropriate forums," it said.
In May, a proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as "the union of a man and a woman" was introduced in Congress.
The bishops cited a recent Vatican document that called legal recognition of same-sex unions "gravely unjust."
Citing marriage's unique societal role in the procreation and raising of children, the Vatican said, "The denial of the social and legal status of marriage to forms of cohabitation that are not and cannot be marital is not opposed to justice; on the contrary, justice requires it."
The Administrative Committee said the church clearly teaches the dignity of homosexual persons and condemns "all forms of unjust discrimination, harassment or abuse."
The bishops said their defense of marriage focuses "on the importance of marriage, not on homosexuality or other matters."
The growing U.S. debate over granting marriage rights or equivalent legal status to same-sex unions is part of a contemporary cultural phenomenon across the Western world.
In the United States there have been a number of court and legislative battles over the question of legal benefits for same-sex unions since 1993, when the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that the state could not exclude same-sex couples from marriage unless it could show compelling state interests and prove that its marriage laws were narrowly tailored to those interests.
That led to legislation in Hawaii granting domestic partnership benefits to same-sex couples.
Vermont adopted similar legislation in 2000 following a similar court ruling there, and a case currently before the Massachusetts Supreme Court challenges that state's marriage laws.
In the wake of the Hawaii court decision a number of other states amended their marriage laws to ban or strengthen existing bans on same-sex "marriage," but provision of equivalent benefits and protections to same-sex partnerships has increased on a number of fronts, including companies and some local governments deciding to provide spousal benefits to same-sex partners of employees.
Canada's federal government has been struggling since July to create new laws implementing a Canadian Supreme Court decision that the traditional definition of marriage violates the equality provision of that nation's constitution.
Responding to a legislative proposal to redefine marriage as "the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others," the bishops of Canada Sept. 10 urged people to oppose "a redefinition of marriage that includes same-sex partners."
When the Dutch Parliament voted to recognize same-sex unions as marriages in 2000, Pope John Paul II denounced the decision.
Calling marriage between a man and a woman a fundamental part of human reality and the basic unit of society, the pope said, "No other form of relationship between persons can be considered as an equivalent to this natural relationship between a man and a woman out of whose love children are born."
In 1996 the heads of two bishops' committees -- domestic policy and marriage and family -- issued a joint statement firmly opposing any "attempts to grant the legal status of marriage to a relationship between persons of the same sex."
The following year the bishops' conference sent all bishops a 77-page
resource paper addressing the pastoral, legal, social and theological
issues posed in the debate over treating same-sex unions the same as

Legendary Mobsters - Part II
Joe Bonanno (1905-2002)Nickname: Joe Bananas
A legendary mobster, leader of the Bonanno crime family and self-touted as the "last man of honor" in organized crime, Joe Bonanno is not the only capo to have suffered from delusions of grandeur. Perhaps this is what prevented him from getting the respect of some of his peers that would eventually drive him out of New York altogether. But still, Bonanno obtained and held on to his position as the boss of one of New York's five crime families for many years and, in the process, gained the reputation of a man who shouldn't be messed with.
Died: Of heart failure at the age of 97.
Lesson learned: Get out before it's too late.
In 1968, Bonanno realized that the bosses of the other families were very serious about their efforts to "remove" him. He picked up and moved to Tucson where he established himself as a legitimate businessman, because if he hadn't, there is little doubt that he would have soon ended up dead. Instead he lived in luxury well into his late-90 on the wealth he had generated years before when things were good — and things ain't always gonna be good, capisce?
Santo Trafficante, Jr. (1914-1987)Santo Trafficante, Jr. gained control of most of the organized crime in Florida when his father died in 1950. He ran a multi-million dollar global narcotics empire and he was also part of a mafia syndicate which owned and operated several hotels and casinos in Batista-era Cuba. When Castro's revolutionary government seized his assets and sent him back to the States, Santo led several unsuccessful attempts to have him whacked. He was even linked to the assassination of JFK, but of course nothing was ever proved.
Died: Succumbed to heart failure at 73.
Lesson Learned: Mafiosi make history.
For all their secret underworld activity goodfellas have always had an understated influence on the mainstream American landscape. From his involvement in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba to his alleged role in the assassination of JFK, Trafficante, Jr. proved that he and those like him were more powerful than any straight-up businessman or politician could ever dream.
Tony Accardo (1906-1992)Nickname: Big Tuna, Joe Batters
Tony Accardo was the head of the Chicago criminal organization known as the Outfit from 1945 until his death in 1992. That kind of longevity for a boss is unheard of in the ultra-violent world of the gangster, but it wasn't because Accardo was afraid to ruffle any feathers himself. Over the course of his career, he never hid from anyone, and even into his later years at the helm, he was still giving the orders to eliminate certain people. After all, they called him Joe Batters not for his skill behind the plate but rather his fondness for sluggin' stronzos with a Louisville.
Died: Heart failure at 86 years old.
Lesson learned: Don't attract the heat.
Unlike many other mob bosses, Tony Accardo led a very low-profile life, which allowed him to fly under the radar of the feds for the 50 years in which he ran the Outfit. He diversified business interests so as not to attract unwanted attention. He attained a loyal following for his belief in rewarding his rank-and-file members and for this was given free-reign and continual protection.
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail
Editor's note: This reader's e-mail has not been edited and is presented as is.
Dear Mr. Mafioso,
Word on the street is that you've been contacted by a number of real-life mob bosses who've told you to keep quiet about certain things. Is it true and, more importantly, will this affect the way you write your articles in the future?
Greg B, Queens
Dear Greg B,
If you read my articles carefully, you'll notice that I never overstep the code that is the foundation of every goodfella's way of life. Real names are never mentioned, and I never ever attract unwanted heat. What I do, though, is give stronzos like you a glimpse at what life is like on the other side.
Stata buon,
Mr. Mafioso

Stocks to Watch: Cisco, Guess, Radvision
By Corrie Driebusch, Ben Fox Rubin and Drew FitzGerald
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Thursday's session are Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), Guess Inc. (GES) and Radvision Ltd. (RVSN, RVSN.TV).
Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) plans to acquire video software maker NDS Group Ltd. in a $5 billion deal, a purchase the technology company said reflects its increased strategic focus on video. The deal, which includes nearly $1 billion of debt assumption, is expected to close in the second half of the year.
Guess Inc.'s (GES) fourth-quarter earnings fell 7.2%, after the prior year had a benefit related to its gift-card program, as the apparel maker reported weaker-than-expected revenue. Shares slumped 11% to $32.75 premarket.
Video-conferencing provider Radvision Ltd. (RVSN, RVSN.TV) agreed to be acquired by phone and telecommunications gear manufacturer Avaya Inc. in a roughly $230 million deal. Avaya, whose parent company Avaya Holdings Corp., is offering Radvision shareholders $11.85 a share in the deal, a 5.8% premium to its Wednesday close. Shares of Radvision rose 4.7% to $11.73 premarket.
Scholastic Corp.'s (SCHL) fiscal third-quarter loss narrowed as the popularity of The Hunger Games series aided the children's book publisher's sales and improved margins. The company also raised its full-year earnings estimate. Shares jumped 8.8% to $35.04 premarket.
InterMune Inc. (ITMN) shares are climbing premarket Thursday as German Federal Joint Committee rules that there is additional benefit to ITMN's Esbriet drug over a placebo. The decision ensures continued reimbursement in the country for the drug, which treats idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, characterized by scarring throughout the lungs, InterMune says. The biotech company's next step is to enter price negotiations with the umbrella organization representing German's sickness funds, or health insurance providers. Prior to the decision, there had been widespread concern over reimbursement and pricing for Esbriet in Europe, though in the past week analysts had rallied to ITMN's defenses and the stock had gained 20%. Shares up another 16% premarket at $17.23.
Capital One Financial Corp. (COF) plans to offer $1.25 billion of its common stock to help fund its acquisition of HSBC Holdings PLC's (HBC, 0005.HK, HSBA.LN) U.S. credit-card operations. Shares of Capital One slipped 0.7% to $51.95 premarket.
Vera Bradley Inc.'s (VRA) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings jumped 41% on surging sales from its company-owned stores and online offerings, but the company still projected a cautious current-quarter profit, sending shares down 5.8% to $35 premarket.
Newcastle Investment Corp. (NCT) boosted its quarterly dividend 33%, its second payout boost in less than a year following a long recession-era drought. Shares of the real-estate investment trust rose 8.7% to $6.75 premarket.
Akela Pharma Inc. (AKL.T, AKLPF) said President and Chief Executive Gregory McKee is no longer with the company and named Chief Financial Officer Rudy Emmelot as acting president and CEO.
Callon Petroleum Co.'s (CPE) fourth-quarter profit soared as a one-time income-tax benefit bolstered earnings from higher-than-expected oil revenue.
Flamel Technologies SA (FLML) agreed to take over specialty drug maker Eclat Pharmaceuticals in a debt-and-warrant deal and named Eclat's chief executive to replace its own CEO.
HomeStreet Inc. (HMST) said Chief Financial Officer David E. Hooston will leave the company at the end of the month and the company has begun the search for a successor.
Louisiana-Pacific Corp. (LPX) said Curt Stevens will become the company's chief executive, effective May 4, upon Rick Frost's retirement.
Noble Energy Inc. (NBL) reached a 15-year deal valued at $18 billion to supply Israel Electric Corp. with natural gas from reserves in a recent offshore discovery.
Rue21 Inc.'s (RUE) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 19% as the value-oriented teen-apparel retailer reported stronger margins and sales, though revenue growth and same-store sales still missed the company's expectations.
Spartech Corp. (SEH) swung to a fiscal first-quarter loss as the packaging company reported higher expenses and as the year-ago results included a bigger gain from discontinued operations.
Moody's Investors Service raised its outlook on Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN) to positive, increasing the prospects for a potential upgrade into investment territory.

Hull-based Reservist engineers have taken part in a bridging master class alongside their Regular colleagues.
Some 20 airborne sappers from 299 Parachute Squadron Royal Engineers (Volunteers), which has troops based at Gateshead, Wakefield and Hull, have been on Exercise EAGLE SAPPER with their parent unit 23 Engineer Regiment (Air Assault).
The two-week long exercise, taking place at Wyke Regis Training Area in Dorset, has seen the troops practise the full range of engineering and military skills, with a particular focus on bridge building.
The sappers built a Medium Girder Bridge across a 30m deep and 30m wide gap and used Air Portable Ferry Bridge (AFPB) to cross the fast-flowing waters of The Fleet, sandwiched between the shore and Chesil Beach. APFB is specialist equipment designed to be parachuted or moved by helicopter and set up either as a conventional bridge or a self-propelled ferry to cross wider obstacles.
Among the soldiers from Hull's Middleton Barracks taking part in the exercise was Corporal Chris Duggan, a lorry driver in civilian life. The 38-year-old, who went to Hymers College, has been in 299 Para Sqn RE (V) for 15 years and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Cpl Duggan, a married father-of-one, said: "I enjoy the physical challenge, camaraderie and teamwork of the military and I've really enjoyed the two operations I've been on. I was in Kajaki with the Royal Marines in 2006 building gun positions, which was a lively time!
"On this exercise we've been working side-by-side with the Regulars and it's worked really well. At first there was a bit of distance, but we've proved ourselves on tasks and are treated exactly the same."
299 Para Sqn RE (V) is the only parachute-trained engineer unit in the Army Reserves and Cpl Duggan has completed a military parachuting course. The unit is part of 23 Engineer Regiment (Air Assault) which provides close combat engineering support to 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army's rapid reaction force.
In Brief ....
16 Air Assault Brigade is the British Army's largest brigade with 7,400 soldiers, combining the speed and agility of airborne and air assault troops with the potency of Apache attack helicopters. The brigade deployed to Afghanistan between October 2010 and April 2011 and since its return has focused on its core role as the Air Assault Task Force (AATF), ready to deploy on operations anywhere in the world at short notice.
23 Engineer Regiment (Air Assault), which is based at Rock Barracks in Woodbridge, Suffolk, provides close combat engineering support to the AATF, allowing it to fight, move and live.
