Metsä Group's business operations developed as expected
Interim Report Q2 2016
Metsä Forest
Metsä Wood

Metsä Board
Metsä Tissue
Metsä Board has continued the EUR 170 million investment programme at its Husum mill in Sweden. The mill's new folding boxboard machine, BM1, was inaugurated in April 2016. BM1 is Europe's most modern folding boxboard machine, and its production is targeted at the Americas and the food-service market globally.
Are you interested in career opportunities at Metsä Group? If the answer is "yes", then you are probably interested in reading first-hand accounts of what it is like to be a summer employee at Metsä! And summer 2016 is not that far away: you find open positions for summer at our Available jobs section.
Metsä Wood's sawmills are run by personnel who also have expertise in maintenance. As well as being an important competitive factor for sawmills, expertise in multiple fields is part of Metsä Wood's industrial efficiency strategy.
Until recently, ideas of running pulp production on a vast scale and of using wood as raw material for clothes, musical instruments, the interiors and upholstery of cars, and the surfaces of household appliances, seemed utopian. Now they are about to become reality.
The United Nations has set Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs in short – that are jointly agreed large-scale global commitments. They determine the targets and actions for world's development for the next 15 years. Also Metsä Group's operations support these goals.
An application has now been introduced that Metsä Group's owner-members can use to update their forest plot information by taking photos with their smartphones or tablets. "Trestima is part of a strong selection of services that we are building for our members. It's a good addition to the electronic wood trade and forestry services that we introduced in June," says Juha Jumppanen, SVP for Member Services at Metsä Group.
Metsä Tissue is dedicated to improving its energy efficiency by 10 per cent by 2020 from the 2009 level. At Metsä Tissue's Mänttä mill, the operators monitor energy consumption in real-time. The consumption of steam and electricity has been reduced by eight per cent per produced paper tonne compared to previous years. Moreover, the specific consumption of water has also been reduced over the past couple of years by as much as 14 per cent.

The long and short of this story is, my bill was $800 for the treatment of my pet. I was approved by the CC company( care credit) for $3,000. I looked at the application and seen that the card co would have permission to jack up interest rates if the balance was not paid in-full within 6 mo. I negoatiate with the hospital and CC to allow me 1 yr to pay this bill without interest or finances charges. If you don't get issues in writing you lose even more so..
In March of 2009 I started to receive a higher payment statement from the CC company and when I inquired about the change in interest percentage and the additional fee for finance charges with GE Money Bank, they told me the hospital had only given me only 3 mo to pay this bill and the 3 mo was up. I explain to the CC company of the prior aggrement for payment and how I was to have a yr to pay this off. I contact the hospsital and let them know what the CC company had said. Again, long story short, They extended the interest free program for a period of 6 mo as opposed to the yr. 3mo into the payments I notice that the monthly payment had literally double. When I reviewed the bill, it was clear the CC company had started to charges me interest and finances charges. I immediately contacted the company to discuss this change and the CC company essentially tried to pass on the issues to the Hospital not telling them. So I contacted the hospital and when it was all said and done, I only received 6 mo of no interest. The monthly bill seems to never cover the charges and expenses that this company has been charging me.
So for this reason, I want to inform all consumers that this company is not ethical nor using fair lending practices. Please consumer's do not get in the same situation as me. As it stands now, I could never pay this CC given the fact every day it appears to be $100 more tacked on the balance each few weeks.
This does not seem like fair or legal practices. For the others that have written on this company. It appears that they continue to keep ripping people off.
I will probably end up in court over this CC group, Do not use this CC for pets, cosmetic surgery or anything of a serious nature, As today I am getting hosed by them

Corporate Advocacy Program™
There are many online reports on both companies regarding their poor consumer record. Look up "direct buy scam" on any search engine.
Since you are reading this you probably don't know much about how a company like this does business.
A company with a dubious product or service for sale (like this one) will attempt to use coercive persuasion to make you buy. This may be a 'fear of loss' technique (you will not be able to tour the showroom and check prices again for 7 years if you don't sign-up today) or 'power close' techniques to 'intimidate' you into buying. Remember, they have nothing to lose ... they will not see you again if you don't buy 'today' so they are liable to try anything that might 'close the sale' with your personality type.
Time share is sold this way and some health club memberships because so many people drop out and don't use their memberships. They are really just selling 'time' to use their facility ... they have virtually no additional expenses when you join.
The contract, which no attorney would ever let you sign, is so one sided that it is patently fraudulent, in my opinion. But since you cannot take it home to review it ... most people who do join based on hype and inaccurate claims, find themselves holding a document that gives them virtually nothing for their money.
They are selling the equivalent of a SAMS CLUB membership for thousands!
Personally, I can find better deals than SAMS normally on the internet (that deliver to my home, not a warehouse) so DirectBuy selling for thousands is a total RipOff!
You are paying for a 'buying club' that gives almost no service, has prices that can be beat by almost any discount retailer. They hide behind a clever contract that gives you no rights to contest anything.
AVOID! If it were a good, decent company they would be happy to let you try it for a month for free and then pay monthly.
But if they did that no one would pay their price.

Take The Blank Contract And Walk

SUBMITTED: Monday, September 29, 2008POSTED: Monday, September 29, 2008
You can always flush out the desperate organizations when they say the contract cannot leave the office. Hmmmm........then how can it leave after it's been signed?? If they threaten you when you try to leave with it just play it through. They won't call the police since they have no legal footing at all.
Desperate companies take desperate measures. Ignore them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The semi-finals are due to be played on the week commencing January 6, 2014 with the second legs on the week beginning January 20.
The draw was made by former United striker Andy Cole and former Sunderland manager Peter Reid.
United booked their spot in the last four with a 2-0 win at Stoke City with West Ham scoring twice late on to complete a 2-1 over managerless Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
An early second half goal from the returning Emmanuel Adebayor looked to have sent Spurs through to last four of the competition.
But goals from Matt Jarvis and substitute Modibo Maiga secured Sam Allardyce's side a crack at big-spending City.
David Moyes's United side sealed their progress courtesy of two second-half goals from Ashley Young and Patrice Evra in some driving wind and rain at the Britannia Stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini's City eased through on Tuesday night with a 3-1 win at Leicester with Sunderland upsetting Chelsea 2-1 at home after extra-time.
Both Manchester clubs will fancy their prospects of meeting in the final with United visiting the Stadium of Light for the first leg.
City will hope to build up a healthy lead to take with them to Upton Park after the first leg at the Etihad Stadium, a venue where they have been scoring goals for fun this season.

The president will meet with families of victims of the shooting as well as local officials.
"President Bush was grateful for the invitation to the Republican National Convention," Bush spokesman Freddy Ford wrote in an e-mail to POLITICO. "He supports Governor Romney and wants him to succeed. President Bush is confident that Mitt Romney will be a great President. But he's still enjoying his time off the political stage and respectfully declined the invitation to go to Tampa."
The flags at all US government buildings and naval vessels around the world will be lowered.
"Jill and I were shocked to learn of the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado this morning. The reason this is so deeply felt by all Americans is that, but for the grace of God, the victims could have been any one of our children, in any one of our towns. It is every parent's worst nightmare to receive 'that phone call' and to sit by their child's bedside, praying. We know what it's like to wait and wonder and the helplessness a parent feels at this moment. Our hearts go out to each and every person who is suffering right now as a result of this terrible event. The prayers of an entire nation are with the victims and their families. We stand with the city of Aurora and the state of Colorado in mourning."
Starting today I will not longer be updating this page. I'm moving over to the one below, so please add me to your circles.
For those asking will I still post updates on the presidency, the answer is yes.

Mall Owner Is Warning of Default http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122636946597216229.html
You seriously think Real Estate is going to rebound? Please state your case.
Here's my case for SRS: Consumer spending is set to PLUMMET. Stores will close, houses will foreclose. Commercial REIT revenue will dive, dive, dive. Dividends are unsustainable. Once they go down, investors will abandon ship.
And it's not a temporary thing. Americans are finally realizing that they cannot live off credit cards and home equity loans. Loose credit will never exist like it did in the recent bubble (not until people forget about this disaster, at least).
Bottom line: growth will not be the same for a LONG time. Economy will continue to contract for the foreseeable future, revenue will dive as American consumers actually start to save.

New York's Tomorrow: 12 Visions
Published: January 5, 2003
(Page 3 of 3)
We'll also see campuses that combine high school, community college and graduate schools, all in the same place. And we'll see these integrated campuses become neighborhood centers, just as public markets and village square were neighborhood meetings places in the 19th century. As a result, we'll see neighborhoods differentiated less by race or class than by profession and intellectual interest.
University Smorgasbords
Anthropology professor, Barnard College; author of the forthcoming ''Colonial Encounters in Native North America''
We have three big universities here -- Columbia, N.Y.U. and CUNY -- and because faculty are becoming more specialized, graduate students especially are beginning to circulate among them. A Columbia student can take a course at N.Y.U. or CUNY. So advanced students could do this kind of boutique thing, shopping for courses among schools that fit their particular interest.
Times Square II
Parr Professor of Comparative Literature, Columbia University; author of ''Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920's''
A new Times Square will develop. There will once again be a part of the city where you have a creative low life. Great world cities will always produce vice because they have every kind of human being in them. The vicious and degraded are not only a significant portion of the population but we all have a little bit of that in us. And a city is a universe, not just a place.
No place has symbolized that more dramatically than New York, with its skyscrapers going right up into the heavens and its underground culture, where many of our greatest cultural movements began. Bebop is an example. The Beats not only cut their teeth in Times Square, they lived in decaying parts of the Upper West Side. It's bohemia; it's where artists go.
Despite the rise of the Internet, E-books never took off, and so we'll still have agents and publishing parties. I'm reminded of a poem by Louise Bogan in which she asks, ''Why go to a party?'' And the answer is that there she finds ''malice, wisdom's guide.'' To me, that's the essence of publishing and publishing parties. You go to see who's there, who's not, what kind of party your agent or editor was willing to throw for you. It's our world of Balzac or Jane Austen.
Some things we need to do face to face. There are kinds of interaction you can't have with a computer screen. We're all in bodies that live and thicken and die. That gives us an attachment to perishable things. And New York is home to some of the most wonderful perishable things.
Photos: The face of the future: A city increasingly dominated by Asians and Latinos, especially Dominicans; a more powerful Brooklyn Academy of Music...; ...along with, below, a growing interest in transportation via motorized scooter and ferry, and greater appreciation of such Central Asian specialties as kebobs.

Smart recently announced that it will partner up with Nissan to build a new small vehicle to go on sale firstly in the States and then possibly global markets after. Details are fairly scarce at this stage, but Smart has revealed a couple of sketches to let everyone know whats in development. The new machine will be a five-door, B-segment entry powered by a conventional petrol engine, and it will reach the American market in late 2011.
With this short development time in mind, it's likely the car will be heavily based on the Nissan Micra. The sketches don't reveal too much, but they do show that Smart still has an eye for sharp design.
The new Nissan-based Smart model is part of a broader strategic cooperation between Daimler AG and the Renault-Nissan Group that was revealed in April. Under the agreement, the two groups also plan to co-develop a new platform that will be used on the successors to the Smart Fortwo and the Renault Twingo. Stay tuned to see what else comes from this burgeoning partnership.

Following a speech by Vice President Joe Biden at Georgetown Law Center, in which he attempted to distance himself from his June 1992 remarks urging then-President George H.W. Bush not to name a Supreme Court nominee in an election year, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to hold the line on the president's Supreme Court nominee, as duty to his party and his country dictates he must. It is crucial that there be no hearings, no votes, not even a whiff of consideration for a new nominee until after the election.
Following the release of a letter from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to the National Governors Association, in which he urged states to cease compliance with the EPA's Clean Power Plan regulations, FreedomWorks Foundation Executive Director Curt Levey commented:
In the White House's Rose Garden on Wednesday, President Barack Obama named his nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. The nominee does not matter in this debate. Really, the process is the issue. The Senate's role is not what the White House and those friendly to this president are making it out to be.
Following the announcement of President Barack Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:
FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon sent a letter to Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday morning urging them not to consider any nominee to the Supreme Court until the American people express their views on the matter in November, through their choice of the next president.
FreedomWorks, the conservative activist group rooted in the tea party movement, is throwing its support behind Senate Republicans who are refusing to hold confirmation hearings for President Obama's eventual nominee to the Supreme Court.
Following the filing of an amicus brief by congressional Democrats in support of President Barack Obama's illegal executive actions, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:
The White House is hilariously trying to downplay a speech made by Vice President Joe Biden in June 1992 when he served as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Biden urged then-President George H.W. Bush not to name a Supreme Court nominee in an election year.
With Justice Scalia's death leaving a gaping hole in our nation's highest court, Senate Republicans have only one clear choice. In the midst of a highly charged presidential election, far better to let voters choose who should appoint our next Supreme Court justice than fight a bloody and fully partisan battle with President Obama over shifting the ideological balance of SCOTUS. So far, Republican leaders in the Senate have been very clear that they agree with this assessment, vowing that they will neither hold hearings nor votes on any nominee to replace Scalia this year.
Contact your congressman and tell them to stop flying first class on our dime.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has ushered in an era of deception and lawlessness.
Tell Republicans to end the special ObamaCare exemptions for Congress!

THIS WEEK IN TEC…. Bubble-less diving! We had Sam and Liana, scuba instructors working around the world, and Ben from Germany, trying out the Poseidon MK6 rebreather in the pool with Blue Label Diving Indonesia technical instructors Hiro and Sandy! As dive instructors, Sam and Liana were even more interested in finding out how rebreather diving will feel in the big blue ocean, so they decided to take the Discover rebreather dives from the boat the following day.
Liana had her first open water CCR dive in the dive site Pangalingan, where we normally have a bit of current, but she managed quite well with her buoyancy even though it changed completely from open circuit diving. Looks like she had lot of fun diving with the rebreather.

I know a similar story
Yes such stories do happen. I know someone in crown heights who had a very similar story happen to her. There are little girls who won't stop believing and doctors who care enough to waive high payments. Btw the woman thought she would NEVER see in the case I am talking about.

Lovely story but couldn't have happened as told
It's a lovely story. Even though it is a work of fiction, it still brings tears to my eyes.Fiction, you ask? Yes, fiction. A person who is born blind and does not have her vision corrected surgically at a very young age, will never be able to see. The necessary brain connections simply never get formed, and you can't start at age 63.Also, even if the surgeon agreed to waive his fee, you would still have fees for the hospital, operating room, nurses, doctors, equipment and drugs. Such a beautiful story, too bad it isn't true.But don't be sad. Even if this particular story couldn't have happened as told, miracles do happen in our world, miracles of kindness and goodness, and sometimes miracles of healing that can only be explained as Providential.
December 4, 2013 2:35 PM
something similar happened to me
I had surgery performed on my brain 22 years ago. I came to the US from Israel and thought that insurance had been arranged for the surgery. A couple of days before I was scheduled to fly, I found out that the insurance did not apply to me and went with no money. When I reached the world-renowned surgeon, he told me that he found out that there was a problem with the insurance so he wasn't going to charge me.He also prevailed upon the anesthesiologist to wave his fee and the hospital forgave most of the cost of my stay.As far as the eye surgery, perhaps certain details of the story were changed and they were actually talking about a different surgery if, in fact, you are correct and this is not possible, but the rest of the story is eminently possible!Happy Chanuka! What a special story!

Here is another miracle
A little over 16 years ago I began suffering severe asthma attacks. Five times I had to be rushed to hospital: many medicines and lots of cortisone... but the asthma continued relentlessly. After almost getting rid of all medication, I began a treatment of auto vaccines with Dr. José del Valle Monge in Antigua, Guatemala, and 5 days ago I was declared ASTHMA FREE!!!!!!!!

This story is sweet but never happened
An old story, it's been around for years, it's sweet but not plausible.
A person who was born blind would not be able to see decades later even after the best eye surgery If the brain connections had not been formed in childhood they could not be formed later on.
To re-write this story and make it more plausible, you'd have to say she lost her eyesight in childhood -- not that she was born blind.
Also, even if the doctor agreed to do the surgery for nothing, the hospital, operating room, anesthesia, nursing care, meds, etc etc would have to be paid for somehow.
I prefer true stories that are true in the sense that they acutally happened.
yehudit r,
December 9, 2012 9:50 AM
it doesn't have to actually have happened...
As Elie Wiesel said, "Some things are true that never happened."
The story is not about acutality and dollars and cents, it is about the spirit. It doesn't mattter if it could really happen or not; it is about one person's faith in her ability to accomplish a miracle, and another person's willingness to be put himself out to be part of that miracle.

Dont Kill The Faith
My wife watched this video and shed a couple of tears. Its a beautiful story and regardless if its true or not, this story motivates you to do good for others. Don't take that away by your personal opinion.
December 1, 2013 8:57 PM
Better leave it as it is
This story isn't even trying to present itself as true. Judaism has a long history of spinning tales to drive home a particular point - it's not about how true the story is, but the lesson we're supposed to take out of it. The way this story is told here, it doesn't take too much sechel to understand it never really happened. To change details so that people wouldn't easily understand it's made up would be bordering on dishonesty.

Graphics Chipsets: Intel Releases Documentation
Chip giant Intel has released comprehensive documentation on its 965 Express and G35 Express chipsets.
Last year, Intel and developers from the X.org and Mesa projects joined forces to program an Open Source driver for the Intel 965GM Express graphics platform. Now, Intel has released critical documentation for developers. The PDFs comprise some 1600 pages of documentation. The Linux Graphics Drivers from Intel page set up by Intel serves as a central repository on the Web where users can access driver and chipset downloads. The documentation was released under a Creative Commons License (Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States).
Developer Greg Kroah-Hartman who is renowned for his commitment to Linux drivers congratulated Intel on this step. As the initiator of the Linux Driver Project, he is well aware of the issues that driver developers can face, lacking documentation. Hartman is offering hardware manufacturers the option of programming Linux drivers for free, if the manufacturer is prepared to contribute input in the form of test hardware and documentation.

Our wish is that no wild bird or small mammal in need of care will be turned away from EWRC.
contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
As mentioned on RMPBS, Colorado wildlife are in trouble. Only a few licensed rehab facilities and rehabbers exist in Colorado who can help sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife. Moreover, these facilities including EWRC are donation-supported and receive no government funding.
In the Denver area a large facility shut its doors in 2014, another in 2015, a third one in 2016. EWRC may have to shut down if we can't achieve our fundraising goals. The resulting load could mean Second Chance in Pueblo would have to shut their doors in 2017.
This means thousands of wildlife each year will have no place to go and will be left to die or people will try to care for them themselves which is illegal and poses a human health risk. DONATE NOW to EWRC or mail your check to: EWRC, PO Box 75069, Colorado Springs, CO 80970
For more information on ways to help wildlife, click here.
Ellicott Wildlife is an all-volunteer non-profit relying on donations. Please help us help injured, sick and orphaned wildlife by donating.

Operator: Hello and welcome to the McDonald's April 22, 2014 Investor Conference Call. At the request of McDonald's Corporation, this conference is being recorded.
Following today's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session for investors.
I would now like to turn the call over to Ms. Kathy Martin, Vice President of Investor Relations for McDonald's Corporation. Ms. Martin, you may begin.
Kathy Martin - IR: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. With me on the call are President and Chief Executive Officer, Don Thompson; and our Chief Financial Officer, Pete Bensen. Today's conference call is being webcast live and recorded for replay by phone, webcast and podcast.
Before I turn it over to Don, I want to remind everyone that the forward-looking statements in our earnings release and 8-K filing also applies to our comments. These documents are both available on our website at www.investor.mcdonalds.com, as are any reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures mentioned on today's call with our corresponding GAAP measures.
So now, I'd like to turn it over to Don.
Don Thompson - President and CEO: Thank you, Kathy, and good morning, everyone. We began 2014 with our strategies and our business model sound and intact. From a financial standpoint, our system's number goal remains enduring profitable growth, which starts with continuing to grow customer visits and comparable sales.
From our diversified geographic portfolio that leverages the entrepreneurial power of local ownership to the breadth of our menu across dayparts and meal occasions, our strategies, infrastructure and investments support this goal. And while we expect the market dynamics to remain similar to 2013, we do have experienced effectively competing and challenging operating environments and I remain confident in our ability to be successful at McDonald's.
Our global growth priorities are focused on ensuring that we remain relevant and appealing, so that more customers will visit us more often. We're focused on optimizing our menu so that we offer our customers food and drinks that have strong appeal, on modernizing the customer experience in our restaurant so that that experience for each customer is more memorable, and on broadening accessibility so that we deliver unparalleled convenience.
The key to our growth lies in our ability to place the customer at the center of everything that we do. Over the past few months, I had the opportunity to visit our priority markets, the U.S., Germany, Japan and Australia with Steve Easterbrook, Pete Bensen and Tim Fenton. We focused on more deeply understanding how each of those markets are adjusting their plans to address current challenges and adapt to the environment and to our customers' expectations.
There were four opportunities that were common to these markets and are being fortified in many other countries in which we operate. First, we're strengthening our planning process to more effectively bridge consumer insights into the right customer-centric plans and actions while striking the right balance against our internal financial objectives. Second, we're strengthening our marketing messaging to better resonate with customers and create stronger awareness. Third, we're enhancing our affordability platforms to ensure our value offers are consistent and clearly messaged. We want our customers to feel good about the value that they get when they visit us at McDonald's.

So since it is the holiday time summer sauage is a plenty and it is my fav! I know that if you eat lunch meat you need to heat it because of listeria but does summer sausage fall into this category? Is it one of those things that is okay if eaten in moderation? I can't imagine not eating any because it has been at all the holiday gatherings I have been to. It is fully cooked and smoked before it is packaged so I would think it would be okay. I was going to call the Dr. but I thought this was too silly of a question to ask!!!
So any suggestions???

Health Commissioner. Salary: $200,000
You're given the job of Health Commissioner for New York City. You hit the ground running with a crusade to get nutritional facts listed on fast food menus, tax cigarettes to make them unaffordable, and outlaw soft drinks over thirty ounces. You're not the most well-liked commissioner in history (people loved their Big Gulps), but the people don't mind their shrinking waistlines.
Director of the CDC. Salary: $300,000
After the outstanding success of your commissionership in the Big Apple, you're selected to run the CDC. You decide to focus on controlling flu outbreaks across the nation, fighting to get all kids vaccinated, no matter the cost. Your lab days studying the disease itself are far behind you, but you relish in the thought of a flu-free nation.
President of Vacciplax. Salary: $500,000+
Following your stint at the CDC, you've taken over one of the largest vaccination producers in the country. Now you get to direct the research into new vaccines and manage their introduction to the public. You're the alpha and omega of vaccination creation. And you even get to pop down to the labs every once in a while to put on the ol' coat and check out some samples.

In the Enterprise edition, we've created a custom object. I can pull this object in fine, but when trying to map form fields to list fields, lookup fields and master-detail fields do not come through. Since these are marked as required in Salesforce, the mapping fails every time.
Is there any way to get these to show in the plugin?
Edit: latest version of WP and the plugin

The computer models give a one-loss OSU ~50% chance of making it into the playoff

Congrats to MSU. They played the better game. OSU manages 132 total yards on offense.
Is Zeke hurt?
Look good with tempo
Easily could've run for 25 yds on that punt
Going to be overturned. Not targeting
Three or four is where we want to be anyway. Give Urban an opportunity to play that underdog card.
They didn't want him anymore
How is that not a hold against Bosa?
It also probably means he'll (Ferentz) be given another contract extension and after this year they'll mire in mediocrity for another ten years
I lived in Leuven for two years. Enjoy the beer, chocolate, waffles and easy access to most of Western Europe.
This makes me wish we were wearing our whites in the Championship Game. Man, those look fresh.
Some of JT's record numbers made me curious about league marks. At 33 pass TDs, he's now tied with Russell Wilson for 2nd most in a season. With at least three games remaining, he's within reach of Drew Bree's 39 from 1998. It's easy to attribute some of the gaudy numbers to the system, but Brees probably averaged close to 50 pass attempts/game for those Purdue teams.
There may be no state pride in Illinois but Chicagoans love their city. I've seen more Chicago flag tattoos living here than any Ohio related ones during the first 22 years of my life spent in the Buckeye state.
2/3 of this year's night games in the 'shoe are lousy.
In 2012-13, the Flyers' average attendance was 12,438 (26th in Division I). UD Arena holds 13,435 = 92.5% full.
In 2011–12, Ohio State averaged 16,511 (8th in Division I). Value City holds 18,809 = 87.7% full.
UD has been in the top 30 for attendance the past 17 years straight and out of the top 35 only once since 1969, the year UD Arena was opened. Flyer fans are hardly bandwagon and will continue to support their mediocre teams in the future. If you haven't seen a game at UD Arena, you should check it out. I'd argue it's better than the Schott.
I couldn't care less about what he does in the off season either. Clearly, the responsible thing to do would be to stay clean and work on improving his game (the Mannings might be able to help him with that...). But frankly, if he performs well this season no one will remember all this nonsense. If he doesn't, it'll be talked about in the media ad nauseum. It's his life. If he wants to make bad decisions and jeopardize millions of dollars, so be it.
A pro for St. Paul has to be proximity to Minneapolis. Minneapolis is an underrated city, IMO.
I do 'trust the staff'. I admit that I have decidedly less football acumen than a group of people paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars yearly to spend nearly every waking moment 'doing their own homework'. Why trust the advice of a doctor? Just 'do your homework' and diagnose it yourself. Of course doctors make mistakes. And so do football coaches. Maybe this young man will be a great QB at Ohio State. Maybe not. I'll let him decide that for himself. I do know that I like how excited he is to have earned a scholarship offer. He set a lofty goal and achieved it. Regardless of how his career at OSU ends up, he'll be quite successful in life with that attitude and work ethic.
He seems well spoken for a 17 year old.
Leesburg, GA looks pretty rural. How is the competition his team plays against?
Scott Hall/Razor Ramon was the best recipient of the stunner.
As much as losing hurts me and the other fans, it hurts the players so much more. These kids put everything they have into the game. Did they play well the first half? Not a chance. They played hard at the end and had a chance, just didn't make enough timely plays (3 pointer and offensive rebound). 29 wins and an elite 8 appearance is a pretty great season. Every season ending is disappointing, except those rare championship ones. Hopefully we get one of those soon!

Builder of Calif's 'Phonehenge' sentenced to jail
LANCASTER, Calif. Los Angeles County prosecutors say a man who built a Mojave Desert compound known as Phonehenge West has been sentenced to almost 18 months in jail because he failed to pay for its demolition.
The Los Angeles Times reports ( http://lat.ms/WCpkNn ) Friday that Alan Kimble Fahey was ordered to pay more than $83,000 in costs incurred for the dismantling of the 20,000-foot labyrinth of interconnected structures and telephone poles. But Fahey has repaid just $1,250 to the county.
On Wednesday, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Daviann L. Mitchell questioned Fahey's claims of financial hardship before sentencing him to 539 days in jail.
Fahey's attorney Jerry E. Lennon says the nonviolent nature of his client's offense and his documented heart condition will likely make him eligible for early release.

Caramel Dessert
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 0 mins
This is a wonderful dessert that you can make up ahead of time and freeze. It is served frozen--a dessert that you can have in the freezer just waiting for those unexpected guests. In the summer I keep one on hand to serve after a BBQ. Nice and refreshing on a nice warm day. But wonderful after any meal. I have been making this recipe for years and got the recipe out of a community book. Enjoy!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 3⁄4 cups flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup melted butter (or margarine)
- 1 1⁄2 cups caramel ice cream topping
- 8 cups vanilla ice cream
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, pecans, brown sugar and rolled oats.
- Add melted butter and mix well.
- Pat in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Crumble while still warm. Then cool and put half of the crumb mixture in a 9x13-inch pan (or Tupperware container).
- Drizzle the crumbs with half of the caramel sauce. Next spread the ice cream over the caramel, (ice cream slightly melted to make spreading easier).
- Top with remaining crumbs and drizzle the remainder of the caramel sauce over the top. Cover and freeze.
- To serve: Cut into serving slices. (Remove from freezer 1/2 hour before serving).

Well, it might be a great summer dessert, but even in our cooler weather (Golly, but it's cold ~ Below 60 degrees already!) it's A WONDERFUL DESSERT! I put it together using a homemade caramel sauce, toasted pecans & a French vanilla ice cream ~ GREAT TASTING & so easy to get to the table once frozen! Thanks for the keeper!

Totally agree with Dotty2 and Merlot - a wonderful make ahead - great to have on hand for those unexpected guests, a perfect summer dessert. I used pecans in the making and am sure walnuts would work well too. So easy to prepare and one everyone enjoyed - no leftovers! Thank you Dotty2 for sharing your community cookbook find.
This is wonderful. I made it while traveling with our friends. They loved it and asked for the recipe. I agree that this is great to have on hand in the freezer for unexpected guests. It so easy to make too. Thanks for sharing, Dotty2.

Dollar Tree will buy Family Dollar for $8.5 billion
Published: Monday, July 28, 2014 at 7:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 28, 2014 at 7:10 a.m.
NEW YORK — Dollar Tree is buying rival discount store Family Dollar in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $8.5 billion.
A look at how Dollar Tree, Family Dollar differ
Dollar Tree is stepping up its fight for penny-pinching customers. On Monday, the discounter said it would acquire rival discounter Family Dollar for $8.5 billion, making it the biggest player in the dollar store category. The acquisition comes as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is going after lower-income customers with smaller stores. Despite their names, Dollar Store and Family Dollar vary in their business models.
Primarily, the deal gives Dollar Tree greater diversity in pricing and product mix. Here's a snapshot of the two chains:
Dollar Tree
— Founded in 1986.
— About 5,000 locations.
— True to its name, everything in the store costs a buck.
— About half of the products are "consumables," or cereal, potato chips and sodas.
— Stores are about 8,000 to 10,000 square feet and concentrated in suburban areas.
— Target customer is a "broad range of middle America."
Family Dollar
— Founded in 1959.
— About 8,000 locations.
— Prices vary, with only 13 percent of sales coming from items that cost $1 or less. Most items are less than $10.
— About 72 percent of products are consumables, 10 percent home products, 10 percent seasonal & electronics and 8 percent apparel and accessories.
— Stores are about 7,500 to 9,500 square feet, with a concentration in urban and rural areas.
— Target customer is "low- to lower middle-income."
Source: Dollar Tree
Stockholders of Family Dollar Stores will receive $59.60 in cash and the equivalent of $14.90 in shares of Dollar Tree for each share they own. The companies put the value of the transaction at $74.50 per share.
The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close by early next year.
Shares of Family Dollar Stores Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, spiked 20 percent before the opening bell Monday. Shares of Dollar Tree Inc., based in Chesapeake, Virginia, are up almost 4 percent.
