In 1996, I was working on a ranch where a Longhorn cow had a calf and would not claim it. Having a bucket calf is a lot of feeding and watching for pneumonia and scourers (diarrhea). A bucket calf is usually slower to develop and other calves will butt it around. One day, I had to fetch him out of a water tank he was butted into. I called this calf Bean.
I started sharing my breakfast of snack cakes, corn chips and soda pop with him after his feed ration. He tagged on to me like a puppy dog. It was hilarious seeing him wrap his tongue around a plastic bottle of soda, tip it in the air and let the soda run down his throat and drool out his mouth. But, it was his gentleness, coupled with those long horns, that was most attractive. He loved a good scratching and those horns scarcely moved while being petted.
Bean made himself at home at the different ranches I worked and loved to shine up to people at the fair where I showed bulls. Bean needed health papers to go to the fair and vets were afraid to get in a trailer to inspect him with those horns.. Every year from 1997 to 2011, Bean was shown in the Big Bull Contest at the Iowa State Fair. He usually placed last in weight in the contest, but those horns, his soda pop tricks, and genuine gentleness was a crowd pleaser. He had a little fan club that checked on him every year.
Bean, in his gentle manner, did fundraising events for people. He played "Cow Pie Bingo" for a cancer fundraiser. "Cow Pie Bingo" is when a grid of a hundred numbers is painted inside a pen on a parking lot. A calf, cow or bull is turned into the pen. Bets are made on numbers the animal is expected to relieve itself on. This may take all day or a few minutes. People will try coaxing the animal into position with treats and petting. Some of the money goes to the winning guesser, but most of it goes to the charity.
A group called MAMA (Motorcycles Against Meth Amphetamines) was raising money for babies born addicted. Bean would let kids sit on his back and have pictures taken. One 3-year-old boy counted to eight because a bull ride in a rodeo is eight seconds long. Bean never hinted of bucking.
A local handicap training center used Bean to win first place with a float in the local parade. The theme was "Past, Present and Future." We put Bean in a small coral on a flat bed trailer with the students behind the coral on the trailer. A sign read "Taking the Bull by the Horns and Leading the way into the Future."
One year, Bean and I walked a three mile parade with his nose resting in my hand as I led him. He was nervous because he was not in a pen and there were several thousand people staring at him. Little kids would climb up on their parents laps just as scared of Bean's horns as bean was of them. In one parade, a little boy yelled, "It's an elephant! It's an elephant!" and poked his mother, who was more interested in talking to her friend. When she turned to see Bean, she looked more horrified than if he had been an elephant.
I used Bean to breed heifers because he made small calves for easy birthing. He ruled the herd. One day, the cattle got out on a gravel county road. I found bean and put a halter on him and put him in the trailer. Fifteen or so heifers were grazing in a field and in the road ditch. The farmer across the road offered to put the heifers in his lot so I could load them on the trailer and take them back where they belong. Another farmer driving by and a kid coming home from football practice, seeing the situation, stopped to help. We could not get the heifers together and into the lot. I grabbed Bean out of the trailer and led him down the road, calling like I do when I'm feeding. Every heifer fell in line behind us, following Bean right into the lot. The farmers were amazed. One said, "If I hadn't have seen it, I wouldn't have believed it."
Many days, Bean would baby sit the calves, letting the cows go off to graze. He would teach the calves to respect pecking order, chase coyotes away and calm down when around people. The cattle were just happier with Bean around.
This year, Bean got into a fight with a big young breeding bull and Bean was badly injured. He is now retired.
I hope this story about Bean, the bull, will show people that most domestic animals have a personality and can be loving pets, even if they are too big to let in your house. Bean has made a good difference in people's lives — especially mine. ❖

I am purchasing a laptop this weekend. I want a solid laptop to browse the internet, watch movies and listen to music. Also, playing a few games on it wouldn't be bad. Can someone tell me if the specs on this laptop can run Half Life 2?

So you're in canada i take it? from the website....
If you are going to buy the laptop online id suggest this:
much better... everything just about, for only $20 more.
At 1280x720 in half life 2 you'll get from 40 to 200fps on average it's about 50-80 so it will be pretty smooth.
The integrated graphics wont be nearly as good.
If you're buying it in a physical store then idk what to tell ya other than go buy this online XD.

The wheel turns, whispery and insistent.
Anxious faces watch the black arrow clickety-clack across brass doorstops, zipping past 5, 2 and the black heart, past Bud, Lou and Ed, Mom, Pop and Zek, past the 90 numbers, names and symbols on the plywood wheel.
Dollar a play, three plays for two bucks.
"Watch the wheel, here's the deal," says the silvery-haired man behind the counter at the Coin Castle in Seaside Heights. "The arrow matches what you bet, any prize you get."
A woman who won on the previous spin places two more dollars on the counter. "We're going for two in a row," she announces.
"You know what that's called?" Dave Scott says, smiling. "A miracle."
There are dozens of wheel-of-chance operators along the Jersey Shore. Most have the same desultory pitch — variations of "Hey, big guy" or "Hello, pretty lady."
Dave Scott, who has been doing this since he was 14, works the wheel like summer stage. He makes fun of himself and his customers — many who have been regulars for years — and they love it. He knows your chances of winning are slim and will constantly remind you of that — with a smile.
To Scott, the wheel is a "fascinating game of aggravation." He wants your money, of course, but he also wants you to laugh — and come back. He'll sometimes let people spin again for free because they did "terrible'' the first time. And every kid gets a free lollipop before they leave with their parents, who keep playing and playing in hopes of winning that toaster or coffee maker.
"Most expensive lollipops on the boardwalk," jokes the 67-year-old man in the black-checked Bermuda shorts.
Once, there were 75 wheels on the Seaside boardwalk; today, there are less than 20. Scott operates the only general merchandise wheel on the Jersey Shore, according to Coin Castle owner Wayne Cimoreli, who runs wheels in Seaside and Wildwood.
Instead of one or a handful of items — cell phones, plush, athletic jerseys — Scott offers a department-store-worthy range of prizes, 150 different ones in all.
"Yard-sale merchandise" he calls it, even though all the items are brand new.
Oster blenders and Hamilton Beach ice coffee makers, Proctor Silex toaster ovens and Rival double burners, Black and Decker Dustbusters and Presto Salad Shooters, First Alert Paper Shredders and Entenmann's Jumbo Cupcake Pans, Eureka! Easy Clean vacuums and fishing poles, and caps and jerseys and so much more. Put down a dollar and spin the wheel.
Winner every prize, yard sale merchandise
He grew up in Plainfield, son of a cop. Scott made $29 a week on his newspaper delivery route; his dad made $101 a week. Once Scott started working a wheel at Seaside as a teen, he knew this is what he wanted to do, where he wanted to be.
He stuttered as a kid; working the wheel made it magically disappear.
"The wheel was shock therapy," he recalls. "I didn't want to lose this job. I didn't want to go back home; I wanted to stay down the Shore, be near the ocean."
Here comes Sis, you got a chance. … come on Sis.
Scott, a Vietnam vet (he served in a helicopter ambulance outfit), would later work a 50-foot-long wheel stand at Casino Pier, where he put out bowls instead of ashtrays — "that's how much women smoked" — and offered free coffee and doughnuts.
In the '60s and '70s, prizes included "roasters, toasters, pots and pans, dishes, radios, bicycles, tricycles.'' Touch lamps were a hot item in the '80s.
"There was a time when fans were a big item," he says. "People didn't have air conditioners down here. I would hire guys from Brooklyn to buy fans and bring them down."
He would build displays out of empty boxes to give the illusion of prizes everywhere. This is what's known as "the flash." Fill every inch of your display; empty spaces at your stand don't look attractive.
"People get lost in the flash, the sparkle and shine," he says. "My job is to get them out of the sparkle and into the wheel."
Watch the wheel, here's the deal
The wheel weighs 80 pounds. The "laydown" is the Masonite counter where you place your bets. If you want to guarantee yourself a win, put down $60; there are 90 spots on the wheel and three plays cost $2.
"Some people spend hours, days, years here," he says, laughing.
"Every bicycle I had as a kid was from this stand," says Michael Genovese (no relation to the reporter). "My dad would play until he won. I've been playing here for years. Our coffee makers come from here, our toasters, our crock pots.. We don't buy them in the store, we have to come here."
Scott sees considerably more female than male customers. His "perfect'' customer is a grandmother. "She's buying for her daughter, her granddaughter, her son-in-law," he explains.
Catch the spinner, here's a winner
What happens if someone walks up to him and says, "I'm not playing here, this stuff is cheap?"
"There's a saying — if trouble leaves, don't call it back," he says wisely.
He underwent open heart surgery in 2003; his doctor told him to come in immediately, but Scott told him he had to work the wheel his next day — a Sunday. The wheel man ended up missing several weeks on the job; customers dropped off meals when he returned.
Hot prize items these days include Ted the talking bear, the Minecraft foam iron axe and another Minecraft item called the Amazing Cardboard Head. There's a ceramic pig under the counter; you can rub it for good luck. How much does Scott get paid? "I get paid all right," he replies.
Here's Nic, here's the heart. Oh, it's honey. Honey … honey is where you should have put the money
"You were going to play that (number)?" he says to one crestfallen player. "I haven't heard that in five minutes."
He gets a "rush'' when people play his game and then thank him.
"I try to be courteous, wish them luck,'' Scott says. "I've had people say, 'I've been coming to this town for 25 years, nobody ever wished me luck.'â "
It's a Sunday, and a good one for business. Sunny skies, warm weather, plenty of foot traffic.
"If you win, you get any prize up there," he tells a middle-aged couple. "If you don't win, you don't have to carry it."
The bets are down. Time to spin the wheel. Someone pushes the button on the laydown board, and the wheel starts to move — whispery, insistent.
It is the sound of perpetual promise and endless summer, a sound as essential as any in the Jersey Shore sound track.
"Here's Mom, here's Star, here's 2," says the silvery-haired man behind the counter.
"Here's Pop, here's 4, here's Vicky, Vicky, no, it's Nan."
He sweeps the coins into a slot. Players come and go. Fans and phones and talking bears are handed over the counter. Later, Scott is asked when he is going to walk away from the wheel for good.
"The day I die," he replies.

A West Virginia state law limiting contributions to political action committees independent of candidates is a clear violation of the First Amendment. It never should have been enacted. Now that it is on the books, it should be stricken.
Donations of more than $1,000 to "independent-expenditure political action committees" are banned by the law. That means a Mountain State resident who may be especially upset about an issue, and have the means to spend money making his point, is prohibited from using donations to such committees to do so.
Several weeks ago, the Stay the Course Political Action Committee, located in St. Albans, filed a lawsuit seeking to have the statute overturned. Two individuals and the Pineville Lumber Co. joined the PAC.
According to published material, Stay the Course was formed to support the re-election of "certain incumbents," who have not been named. It can do that, providing its operations and management are independent of the candidates themselves.
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia's chief election officer, has defended the contributions limit. It is necessary to limit the perceived influence of money on elections, her office argues.
But federal courts already have overturned some limits on contributions to PACs in other states. The U.S. Supreme Court, in one case, made it clear restrictions are an infringement against freedom of speech.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Johnston, of the Southern District of West Virginia, will hear the case. He has scheduled an Aug. 1 hearing on a request for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the law.
Johnston should rule in the plaintiffs' favor, of course, using the same logic the Supreme Court has cited. The First Amendment was intended to safeguard Americans' right to speak out - and enforcing it rigidly has served us well for more than two centuries.

Guest Post: Heal Your GutBy
Today, Lydia from Divine Health is posting about gut health. She's a great writer and her blog is awesome. After reading this post, head over to her Facebook page for some great conversation.
So, you've transitioned to real traditional properly prepared foods, you may have even removed problematic foods, such as dairy, gluten, grain and so on, but you still have gut issues and inflammation. It's likely you have leaky gut syndrome, but you can't get to the root of your problems without forking out big bucks to get testing or find a naturopathic or holistic minded doctor to work with you, so what do you do?
Today I am sharing some tips that can be very helpful to repair your gut even if you can't take on a lot of dietary changes or tackle a plan like the GAPS protocol. Keep in mind that many things contribute to gut ailments, including chronic stress & overworked adrenal glands. These can profoundly weaken the integrity of the gastrointestinal tissues. So it's important to support yourself through stress. Here are 6 supplemental/ food tips to help heal your gut, or at the very least manage gut inflammation;
1. L- Glutamine – an amino acid that helps to heal the intestinal tract. The cells of the small intestine (which is where the gut permeability or leaky gut is happening) depend on glutamine as their main fuel, for maintenance and repair. Glutamine is very alkalizing to the body. A dose of 1 to 3 grams daily is recommended, taken between meals in a small glass of juice, or water. I like to take mine in some beet kvass, which also is very soothing. Taking too much glutamine can be constipating, it's good to start out on the lower end and work up, observing your bowel patterns while doing so. Read more on the benefits of L-glutamine here. Foods rich in L-Glutamine are; beef, chicken, fish and dairy products.
2. Aloe Vera Juice– Aloe vera juice has been used as a traditional remedy for digestive disorders of all types. It soothes and reduces any inflamed and irritated parts of the gut lining. It is especially good for gastric ulcers. Take 2 ounces twice daily. A very good brand you can purchase is George's 100% Aloe Vera.
3. Chlorophylls/ Green Juices/ Fermented Cabbage Juice – these all help to nourish the gut, as well as neutralize toxins, disinfect the digestive tract and help to relieve gas or inflammation. Fermented Cabbage Juice, is particularly rich in vitamin U and glutamine, which are both great for healing any kind of ulcers or dealing with inflammation. Not to mention fermenting it gives it a probiotic and enzyme factor that also aids the overall health of the digestive tract. For more reading on fermented cabbage juice, check out this article.
4. Slippery Elm Bark/Licorice Root-
Slippery Elm bark is very muciligenic and can be very gentle and soothing the mucous membranes and lining of the gut. It has been a folk remedy for both heartburn and ulcers in European and Native American cultures. It is able to be taken in large quantities without contraindications. Drink it as a tea or chew on the bark. *Note* – this can be problematic for someone with severe parasites & pathogens, as it will feed them.*
Licorice Root (DGL) – Licorice root is very soothing to the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, it promotes healing by stimulating the production of healing prostaglandins. Licorice enhances the blood flow and health of the intestinal tract cells. It's considered to have the same healing effect as cimetidine (or Tagamet), so if you have any kind of heartburn this could be a great natural remedy. Be sure to buy deglycyrrhized licorice, as glycyrrhins can raise blood pressure. Take it in capsules
5. Bone Broth -need I say more about bone broth? If you've read here on Kerry Ann's site, or on mine, you have read plenty about the healing benefits of bone broth. Bone broth really works to soothe and heal the digestive tract. It's also a very absorbable form of amino acids & minerals, along with other benefits that are wonderful to obtain this way rather than having to fully digest with an impaired gut. I can't recommend bone broth enough! If you are not making bone broth already, get started today! For everything you need to know about bone broth and more, plus several videos – check out this link where Amanda of Traditional Foods gets into all the nitty gritty's of making bone broth.
6. Cultured Foods – such as sauerkraut, beet kvass, kombucha, kimchi, kefir, yogurt. These all contain enzymes, consuming them allows your body to replace digestive enzymes and digest your food better. They also contain good bacteria to help your body to clean out bad gut bugs. Just one teaspoon of cultured veggies can contain 54 billion live good bacteria! That's reason enough to eat them at every meal!
There certainly are more options than just the above mentioned when it comes to helping to heal your gut. For example, just by making sure you have proper hydrochloric acid in the gut you can repair the small and large intestines. Read here, about 'Why I Am Supplementing With Hydrochloric Acid.'

Thank you for this post. These are some tips I can definitely implement with my family, even though we aren't up to the challenge of the GAPS protocol right now.
Can you point me to some sources on the slippery elm information? I'm trying to figure out why it's not as benign for me as it's supposed to be.
Thank you so much for the post! I just recently heard about the "Great Taste no Pain" diet, that simply is a food combining diet and way simpler than to follow then GAPS http://annashomeandgarden.blogspot.ca/2012/03/testing-great-taste-no-pain-program.html Wondering if someone has tried it and what are the results?
Anna recently posted..Homemade sauerkraut, the simple way.
Food combining might be a good idea for some piople, but the "Great Taste no Pain" diet did not work for me. I tought I would let you know.
Anna recently posted..What greenhouse to choose?
Thank you for this article! I am going to try the slippery elm. I think I have seen it in a lozenge at a health food store.
I also have recently read a new book that helped me a lot to calm my gut knot and emotions and I think this has helped too. You might like to look at it, "What's Behind Your Belly Button?" I bought it on amazon and am still reading it, but I already recommend it to anyone looking to do whatever they can to soothe the gut.
Thank you again,

Renal osteodystrophy is a universal complication of ' chronic renal disease characterized histologically by several alterations in bone structure. The pathological changes seen in the skeleton of uremic patients include osteitis fibrosa cystica, which reflects the resorptive effect of increased osteoclastic activity owing to secondary hyperparathyroidism, and osteomalacia, which is a defect in bone mineralization secondary, at least in part, to alterations in the metabolism of vitamin D and characterized by a widening of the osteoid seam and absence of or abnormal mineralization front. Less commonly, osteosclerosis and osteoporosis are also seen in patients with renal insufficiency. The pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the development of renal osteodystrophy in patients with renal failure are multifactorial and poorly understood. However, in the past decade some of the factors involved in the development of renal osteodystrophy have been clarified. The manifestations of deranged mineral metabolism in uremia include hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypermagnesemia, hyperplasia of the

Maxatec – CMS Website
The Challenge
The existing Maxa Technologies website had many problems, one issue was that they couldn't update it in house due to a lack of Content Management System. Additionally the website wasn't mobile friendly which created a poor user experience, and meant it struggled to convert visitors.
What we did
Zeta approached the challenge by developing a real understanding of their business world. We visited Maxatec, they visited Zeta. Through dialogue with key staff, studying the competition and listening to the marketing team we gained the knowledge and insight to build them a superb responsive web site, the rest is history.
The Success
The website has seen an increase of 44.68% to organic traffic, 505% increase to the number of emails sent to them and 70% increase to the number of enquiry forms completed on the web site. We constantly monitor and manage the campaigns to keep them moving forward and adapting to current trends.
Andrea Percival
The Zeta experience has been entirely positive since we put the Maxatec website into their very capable hands in 2007. The Zeta team is totally customer focused, not only delivering solutions and results, but constantly demonstrating their ability to adapt to changing business requirements. We view Zeta as an extension of our business, and look forward to working with them for many years to come.

In its big announcement late last year, Attachmate moved to acquire enterprise open source leader Novell for $2.2 billion. The purchase is expected to close this quarter, pending the necessary legal and financial approvals.
In another key acquisition five years ago, Attachmate purchased San Jose, CA-based NetIQ for just under $500 million. The part of the business space filled by NetIQ is enterprise IT management — specifically, security and compliance, identity and access, and performance and availability.
Jay Gardner leads NetIQ as president of the business unit and is responsible for engineering, product management, marketing, technical support, sales, and operational functions, as well as the unit's market vision and business strategy. For almost two decades prior to the NetIQ acquisition, he worked his way up through the ranks at BMC Software in Houston. He served as VP of sales for North America, Global Operations, CIO, and VP & General Manager of BMC OnDemand. Before joining BMC, Gardner spent 10 years in various management and sales positions at IBM. As a result of his leadership in the technology industry, he was named as a finalist for the prestigious Gartner CIO Choice Award and was recognized by Computerworld as one of its Premier 100 IT Leaders.
Jay spoke with me recently about the challenges faced by technology end users in gaining incremental value from their additional technology investments. He believes there is no shortage of challenges when it comes to IT management and the steady stream of new developments every year. The decline in incremental benefits, he says, is a result of the plateau in the adoption curve that leads to failed expectations. He describes how that happens and how NetIQ is helping address these challenges.
Note: This article is also available as a PDF download.1. Jeff: In your conversations with technology end users, how do they describe their current challenges around maximizing the value of IT? Jay: Successes and challenges in business are usually around people and not having enough subject matter technical experts. Going all the way back to some customer conversations as the CIO at BMC, I noticed the question coming up more and more often of whether we also delivered the solutions we were offering as a service. When I sat down and talked with these customers further, I found the reason they were asking was that they didn't necessarily believe they could implement those solutions successfully using their limited internal staff. Initially, that was the driver behind the trends toward outsourcing and software-as-a-service. They saw getting to their goals as being much more related to know-how — to the support and the service. When I started with NetIQ, it gave me a whole new window into customer success. If we're able to provide customers with the resources that take that risk out of getting to the value, they can achieve success more quickly and they're going to come back to us again. The successful customer is the least expensive to sell to and the least expensive to support, and obviously, the most likely to continue to do business with. 2. Jeff: How does that fit in with the failed expectations curve? Jay: The failed expectations curve is really a financial picture of the business case where the Y-axis is value and the X-axis is time. So we're looking at this picture of a certain amount of value over a given number of years. There is going to be a certain amount of deterioration in the value, or at least a diminishing gain, as the adoption curve levels off and you go from the value of implementing to the value of maintaining and improving. What we've found is that a lot of what goes into that customer value is not just the code, but the intellectual property involved in making processes successful. That includes what goes into support, professional services, and the key people who continue to work on the solutions internally. So it often comes down to the talent in the organization that makes things happen successfully or not, and customers' initial business case expectations may not always put enough weight on taking that into account. 3. Jeff: In addition to not meeting expectations, do you see organizations getting surprised by a decline in IT value? Why don't they anticipate or avoid the diminished benefits? Jay: Their attention wanders. It can move to another project. Organizations go through reductions in staff, people leave, people retire, and the expertise they once had is lost. So keeping that fresh talent alive in the organization has to come from either constantly bringing in new hires or getting the expertise from the outside. We have recognized this as a significant need and as a result, have created offerings to complement the internal resources and technical expertise rather than requiring a scoping of a project, going out to find someone and putting them on a statement of work, which has been of great interest. Like software-on-demand or software-as-a-service, it's consulting-on-demand: lining up the subject matter expert over the phone rather than setting up a professional services contract. 4. Jeff: What are the main factors you see leading to this "plateau in value" from IT investments and how can technology-driven companies address them? Jay: Customers rarely have time to question whether they are getting the full value out of their investments. They are too busy fighting fires to even consider this question. One of the main questions my executive team and I look to quantify in speaking with customers is, "Are you getting the value you initially intended and expected when you bought this?" The customers who say yes are the ones who are going to continue to buy and renew. They always let us know. If that's not the case, they outline what their challenges are.
If we need to, we do an analytical health check to get to the root cause, but it usually turns out to be one of a few common factors. It's often just a simple training issue, or it could be a configuration issue, where the wrong options have been selected and just need to be reconfigured. And then it may be a case where they just don't have the internal expert. So we ultimately provide a list of recommendations on what the correct approach might be. There's a great satisfaction in helping to focus attention on addressing the "plateau in value," seeing things turn around once the right resources are applied, and seeing that value equation start to change, sometimes very quickly.
NetIQ may not bring the cheapest or the simplest solution, but that is balanced by the richness in function and ease of configuration and customization, as well as the additional expertise some organizations may lack. In the end, to get that success measure that we talked about, the end user has to be satisfied with the functionality, and there is a need for talent and automation in many instances to achieve desired results. For example, in a monitoring solution, we're not just talking about up or down anymore. There are a lot of factors that play into the effectiveness, security, compliance, and reporting on those areas.10. Jeff: With respect to security and compliance investments, what trends are you seeing in terms of solutions bought and value achieved? Jay: Data protection solutions remain a hot item. They protect sensitive data and when they're applied through a comprehensive security program, they yield compliance with the many regulations organizations struggle to address, whether it's FISMA, FDCC/SCAP, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX and NERC CIP, or others. I just met today with an executive for a financial services firm, and the amount of complexity just in the reporting required for businesses like that to meet minimum guidelines is overwhelming. One bad experience can cause a serious negative impact. They have no option with respect to ensuring that the right controls are in place for security, history logs, data downloads, and reporting when it comes to their customer data. That inherent complexity is magnified by not doing those things in house, and you start to intertwine external software service applications in a heterogeneous, multi-site, cloud environment.
If you've been to a hospital lately, think of all the reporting and the papers you sign for even a routine visit. What happens to all those documents? Does anyone ever look at them again? More important, are they protected from privileged users and external threats? The bottom line is we're continuing to complicate the data. It is proliferating at a rapid rate. It can be accessed from inside and outside the organization, and it needs to be protected. In my opinion, the increasing complexity you're seeing is likely to continue.
After retiring from BMC in 2006, Jay Gardner soon realized he missed the fast-paced lifestyle of the tech industry. He rejoined the workforce in an advisory role, and three years later received a phone call from NetIQ where he accepted an offer as president and GM. Jay and his wife and six kids are diehard Horned Frog fans of TCU. You can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Western Union Company Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (WU)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Western Union Company (WU"> WU) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B-. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $325.70 million or 11.50% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -30.39%.
- 47.20% is the gross profit margin for WESTERN UNION CO which we consider to be strong. Regardless of WU's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 16.69% trails the industry average.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 9.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.5%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the IT Services industry and the overall market, WESTERN UNION CO's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The share price of WESTERN UNION CO has not done very well: it is down 13.89% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of the overall market trend could certainly make a critical difference, we do not see any strong reason stemming from the company's fundamentals that would cause a continuation of last year's decline. In fact, the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings.
The Western Union Company provides money movement and payment services worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Consumer-to-Consumer, Consumer-to-Business, and Business Solutions. The Consumer-to-Consumer segment offers cash money transfer services involving walk-in agent locations. Western Union has a market cap of $8.1 billion and is part of the financial sector and financial services industry. The company has a P/E ratio of 9.00, below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 18.00. Shares are up 6.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.

The college marching band celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of Michael Jackson's album Bad during halftime at their game against the University of Iowa on Saturday, and while their renditions of songs including "Thriller," "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel" were pretty impressive, when they got to "Billy Jean" they blew onlookers away.
The band moonwalked ... in the shape of a giant King of Pop – complete with white glove.

Pre-Beginner Web Dev questions.
I hope this is not out of line with the community here but I have no idea where to begin and I was hoping some experts could point me in the right direction.
Recently I have been tasked with the challenge of creating a web based interface for a small group of users. Basically, I have no idea where to start.
Which language would someone use if they were going to create a site like youtube or uploadingit.com? Any books or online tutorials I should take to learn how to do server side programming. Where and how do I set up these servers to accept interaction. Where are the SDKs? Would this language allow for real-time displays of information like a stock-ticker?
I think some of it is Java but I am in no way certain. I am a career commercial artist. I did some Visual Basic programming in high school but never found it very rewarding. There are just so many terms about web development flying around out there that I hope this forum could help a confused mind to sift through most of the haze. Thanks for anyone willing to take the time.
Re: Pre-Beginner Web Dev questions.
I would start with either PHP, ASP.net, JSP but easiest is PHP to start off.

New FT rate delayed to June-August bills
Published on May 10, 2012 by TFP · No Comments
BANGKOK, 10 May 2012 -The Energy Regulatory Commission of Thailand (ERC) has resolved to delay its plan to collect the fuel adjustment tariff (FT) at a new rate of 30 satang per unit, to help Thai families cope with rising daily expenses.
ERC Chairman, Mr. Direk Lavansiri said the new rate will be delayed until June August this year. The decision to postpone the new rate, the Chairman said, was due to public concerns over the rising cost of living and higher electricity consumption in summer.
As a result, the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) will have to shoulder higher excess cost, which will climb up from 10 to 14 billion baht. Mr. Direk, however, insisted that the new FT rate is still lower than the true cost of FT charge, which is 57.45 satang per unit.
The FT charge is an additional cost incurred on the bill and changes according to the oil price. The ERC Chairman said the reason why the FT charge has not been adjusted for quite some time was that the ERC wanted to return to consumers the investment money saved by the country's power producers namely EGAT, the Provincial Electricity Authority and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority.
During 2008-2010, the three units spent 3.08 billion baht lower than the investment target. Besides, about 1.4 billion baht was saved due to the temporary natural gas delivery cut from Myanmar during April 8-18, this year, the ERC Chairman added. Those amounts of money are used to help keep the FT rate at 30 satang per unit.

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Cardiff is £90 per night.
Krowg I visited out of season and so had the whole apartment to my self. It's a two minute walk from the bus and rail station, and another two minutes from the main shopping area. Cardiff Bay is only twenty minutes away along the Taff river. The place is clean, warm and modern with excellent facilities including cable TV and Wi-Fi. The place is run by Abi and Charlie out of a hostel just around the corner. Abi is beautiful and lovely and kind, and Charlie is laid back, friendly and helpful. If I'd known that they were brother and sister and not husband and wife I would have asked Abi to marry me - and add rejection to my Cardiff experience. HUGELY recommended!!!
paulbram50 This was my first stay in a hostel, and it was absoultely excellent. It was better than staying in a hotel. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the relaxed atmosphere allowed people to meet one another in a friendly manner. The breakfast was an excellent bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
amanda.fry My son and I stayed for 2 nights so he could go to the UWIC open day, was easy to find, very central and close to all the amenities, Vue cinema, Milleneum Stadium, Bus and Rail Stations and all the shops. Was great value for money and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The only downside was it was very noisy and we hardly slept as our room was above the outdoor area and smoking zone!
kippycarte Been around the world and haven't found much better than this. From the warm welcome as you entered from Jason the owner to the brand new facilities on offer this was a real find and cant praise it enough. A fantastic hostel right in the heart of Cardiff city centre. Hope to return again very soon. Update 9th March 2011 - Once booked ring to check you actually have a reservation with this hostel. Have just had a confirmation booking to say that I had booked a room only to be told that they are actually full and they are still an hour later coming up as having availability on three other websites. They are obviously not updating their booking system on a regular basis.

Re: What is Everyone Reading--Bibliophileiluv2readmynook May 3, 2011 6:33 PM (in response to ponetagirl)
You are NOT alone! I think most of us in this discussion book fall into that category. I am currently reading Zero Day by Mark Russinovich. Just finished Gregor the Overlander series of 5 books, preceded by the Hunger Games trilogy.
Re: What is Everyone Reading--Bibliophileponetagirl May 3, 2011 6:44 PM (in response to iluv2readmynook)I am so glad to hear what you are reading. I think there are some other places to list our general fiction addictions. (I am just starting The Kitchen House). I should have explained myself better--I was starting this message to suggest and discuss books specifically about reading, books, writing, collecting books, etc. Hope that clears it up. Sorry about that!
Re: What is Everyone Reading--BibliophileGoodword May 5, 2011 4:35 AM (in response to ponetagirl)
I also love books about books. Some of my favorites of those are The People of the Book, The Thirteenth Tale, and The Cookbook Collector. I have The Man Who Loved Books Too Much, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I'll have to check out the other two you've mentioned.
Re: What is Everyone Reading--Bibliophileponetagirl May 5, 2011 11:24 AM (in response to Goodword)I have added People of the Book to my list! Another couple of titles in this genre that I have liked are The Professor and the Madman and A Gentle Madness. Has anyone read Mockingbird, the biography of Harper Lee?
Re: What is Everyone Reading--Bibliophilekrisket May 5, 2011 8:43 AM (in response to ponetagirl)
People of the Book was great. I am currently reading Shadow of the Wind and liking it so far. Both fit this category in their own way.

2 p.m. Saturday at University Arena, WZUU-FM 92.5
The coaches
WMU's Steve Hawkins (South Alabama, 1987), 244-197, 16 seasons; 107-86, seventh season at WMU.
Probable starters
For WMU: Sophomore Mikey Douglas (6-0, 3.3 points per game) and senior David Kool (6-3, 22.7) at guard; senior Martelle McLemore (6-5, 16.3) and sophomore Flenard Whitfield (6-7, 10.7) at forward; and senior Donald Lawson (6-9, 7.3) at center.
Scouting the Crusaders
It hasn't been a pleasant start for Holy Cross, which is 0-5 and making its way back across the country after losing 80-59 Wednesday night at UNLV. The Crusaders also lost by two at St. Joseph's and on a buzzer-beater at home to Loyola-Chicago, which just beat the Broncos, 60-58, on Monday in Chicago. Despite a quick handful of defeats, this Holy Cross squad isn't all that different than the one that beat WMU, 69-63, last season in Worcester, Mass. The Crusaders return three starters, including Evans, who put up 17 points against the Broncos as a freshman. Keister, who came off the bench for nine points last year, is one of the better low-post players in the Patriot League. Their hottest shooter is Devin Brown, a reserve who's hit 13 of 29 3s so far, leading the team at 12.6 points per game.
Make it: WMU 76, Holy Cross 67.

Insider: Magic Searching For Answers
[youtube_sc url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBLj6pnYyY&list=UUYWvixXaPNx66Hm1noivzGg&index=1&feature=plcp"]
The Orlando Magic have now lost five of their last six games and have been held under 70 points in three of those losses. After a loss to the New Orleans Hornets Friday, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy thought this was the worst stretch of games since he?s been coach of the Magic. After losses to the Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers, it?s only gotten worse.
?It?s a bad stretch for us,? point guard Chris Duhon told reporters. ?Probably for most of us, the worst one of our careers.?
It?s not just that the Magic are losing games - it?s the way they?re doing it. It started last Monday in Boston when the Magic set records for futility - they scored just 56 points on 24.6% shooting - both franchise-lows. They followed it up with a perhaps surprisingly easy win over the Pacers in Indiana. Thursday, the Magic set out for revenge when they hosted the Celtics and it looked like they were going to get it as they built a 27-point first half lead. That lead quickly disappeared as the Celtics rallied for a 91-83 win. The Magic then played one of the league?s worst teams, the New Orleans Hornets, Friday and were blown out 93-67. They followed that up with a 106-85 home loss to the Pacers Sunday and 74-69 loss in Philadelphia against the 76ers Monday night.
?It?s been a miserable week overall,? Magic guard J.J. Redick said.
The Magic have been one of the elite teams in the league since Van Gundy arrived on the scene. Many analysts wrote the Magic off after a first round playoff exit last season, but the Magic began to silence many of those critics with an 11-4 start. Now that the Magic are just 12-9, the critics are returning and the talk surrounding Dwight Howard?s situation has been turned up.
Howard, who still wishes to be dealt to the New Jersey Nets, called out his teammates after Friday?s loss in New Orleans. Although Van Gundy, Howard and his teammates continue to deny his situation has anything to do with the way the Magic are playing, we all know that just isn?t true.
Van Gundy truly is one of the league?s elite coaches, but he now faces the toughest job of his entire career and he can?t seem to find the answers he?s looking for.
?Obviously I have not gotten that done and that?s frustrating to me as a coach,? Van Gundy told reporters. ?It?s my job to get it done and to get it turned around and I have not gotten that done.?
Van Gundy knows what Orlando?s problems are, but finding solutions isn?t that simple.
?I don?t know where to start,? Redick told the collected media. ?It?s a lot of things, it?s not one thing. I wish I could pinpoint one thing. I wish there was an algebraic equation to have a final answer.?
The Magic are just 11th in defensive efficiency. Although that?s eight spots better than their sputtering offense, Van Gundy?s teams have always prided themselves on the defensive end.
?It?s frustrating because we always try to build around it (defense),? Van Gundy explained. ?I think that?s what we got to change first.?
?Our main thing is that we have to put the defense first,? Chris Duhon told reporters. ?Put the effort and energy into defense. It?s easy to play defense when shots are being made, but we have to become a team that when shots are not being made, we still put a real good effort defensively to keep us in games.?
Orlando looked much better on the defensive end Monday, holding the Sixers to just 74 points on 30-of-80 shooting, but their anemic offense sent them to their fourth straight loss. The Magic had just 42 points through three quarters before padding their stats and making the game appear closer than it really was during garbage time.
?Clearly, we?re having struggles on the offensive end,? Van Gundy said.
That?s an understatement.
?To me, there?s no mystery in what needs to happen;? Van Gundy explained. ?It?s how you get it to happen. I think the first thing is you?ve got to somehow find a consistent energy and effort.?
Van Gundy always stresses the team?s energy level and thinks that?s the first step in not only turning around Orlando?s offense, but their defense as well.
?That has to happen on the defensive end of the floor,? Van Gundy told members of the media. ?We weren?t bad until the last five games but our defense... we?re not going to win with that defense.?
Van Gundy went on to explain he believes the three keys to winning games are defending, rebounding and taking care of the ball - all three have been major issues for the Magic.
Only six teams turn the ball over over then the Magic, who give it away 26.2% of the time.
The Magic know they need to make some serious changes to correct their mistakes, but they promise they?re not going to give up.
?We have to muster up the courage and fortitude to reach inside of ourselves and figure out how tough we are and be better,? Redick said.
We?ll keep fighting - at least I will, I?ll keep fighting - and we?ll try to get better,? Van Gundy. said.
News & Notes:
- The Magic have it a little easier this week - they?ll host the 4-15 Washington Wizards Wednesday and the 8-11 Cleveland Cavaliers Friday.
- On Saturday, they?ll be in Indiana to play the Pacers (again).
- Daniel Orton scored his first NBA points in his first NBA action Friday night when he hit two free throws.
- DeAndre Liggins was activated to replace Jason Richardson (knee) on the active roster before Monday?s loss in Philadelphia.
- I joined the guys on the Primetime Show in Tampa to talk about the struggles of the Magic. You can listen to that segment here.

The U.S. Army is capping parachute positions at 49,000 soldiers as part of its overall cutback and reorganization of the military by 2020.
As a result, a Pathfinder unit at Fort Campbell, Ky., and multiple paratrooper units at Fort Bragg, N.C., are seeing soldiers taken off of jump status.
Army spokesman Lt. Col. Don Peters said 24 units accounting for 2,600 soldiers are being removed from jump status as part of the changes. Peters says paratroopers will continue to train and be ready to execute airborne operations as the need arises.
Soldiers at Fort Campbell said they are ready to carry out their missions, even in a different way.
Sgt. First Class Bryan Beville said "history is history" and the units will continue to fine-tune their skills.

Let's be honest: Halloween decorations can be really cheesy and juvenile. If you're going for a more sophisticated look this October, look no further. I scoured Pinterest for some ultra chic Halloween ideas for a spooktacular apartment with style:
Pumpkin Ideas
Nothing quite says Halloween like pumpkins–and luckily, it's super easy and inexpensive to make sleek DIY Halloween decorations with pumpkins: Simply throw on a quick coat of paint and some sparkle (rhinestones or glitter, whichever you fancy). If painting sounds like too much work and glitter sounds like too much mess, wrap some Halloween-inspired ribbon around mini pumpkins for instant decoration.
Halloween Wreaths
When it comes to chic Halloween wreaths, the possibilities are endless. Make your own for very little money, or let someone else do the work for you by purchasing one on Etsy. Here are some of my favorite Halloween wreaths on Pinterest:
Halloween Centerpieces
Centerpieces are another way to easily and inexpensively decorate your apartment for Halloween with limitless possibilities. You can go the spooky route by covering black vase and flowers with fake spiders; get cutesy with a jack-o-lantern holding flowers; add a touch of elegance with a candle and mini pumpkins; or get really creative with a "Pick Your Potion" Halloween centerpiece.
Chic Halloween Displays
If you're ready to take your Halloween decorating to the next level, create a chic Halloween display on a mantle, shelf or side table. For a polished look, choose a theme and color palette to stick to. Here are some of my favorite Halloween decor displays:

How can I get cash with my prepaid debit card without paying ATM cash withdrawal fees?
Answer: If you plan to use your prepaid debit card regularly at an ATM, look for a card that doesn't charge an ATM withdrawal fee or provides for a certain number of free ATM withdrawals per month.
You can also avoid ATM fees by getting cash back at many stores by using the PIN debit option. The retailer will set its own limit on the cash back amount.

I should get activity points for this...
2 comments:
Let me preface this by saying I know it's not the same thing at all, but it reminds me of when...ReplyDelete
When Steve and I first got married and I was a housewife for the first couple months (which I loved, by the way), as soon as Steve walked through the door I began a verbal storm. Not an angry one, just an "oh my goodness here's someone I can actually talk to so I'm going to say everything I've been thinking all day and I have to say it in the next five minutes" kind of storm. And I realized even as I was doing it that he was just getting home from a long day at work and probably just wanted some peace and quiet, but it took a couple weeks before I could actually master the impulse to speak at 100 mph.
Also, No-bakes = Awesome. I think I shall make some to take to church this Sunday.

Nuclear power vital for India's growth: IAEA
The IAEA Director General said nuclear power can also reduce the impact of volatile fossil fuel prices and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Mumbai: Amidst opposition to nuclear power in the country, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Yukiya Amano said nuclear energy is vital for India's growth.
"Nuclear power can help to improve energy security. For rapidly developing economy such as India, it (nuclear energy) can make a vitally important contribution to growth," Amano said while delivering the Indian Nuclear Society Silver Jubilee lecture in Mumbai on Tuesday.
Besides, nuclear power can also reduce the impact of volatile fossil fuel prices and mitigate the effects of climate change, he added. "Not only for developing countries, but even developed countries need electricity to maintain economic competitiveness and nuclear power will have an important contribution to make," he said.
Globally, nuclear power looks set to continue to grow steadily although slowly than we expected before the Fukushima Daiichi accident in March 2011, Amano said. There are 437 operating nuclear power reactors in the world today and recent projections by IAEA suggest that the number could increase by 80 or 90 in the next 20 years.
At the moment, there are 66 new reactors under construction and seven of them are in India. "With electricity becoming fundamental for growth of any country, IAEA expects the production of nuclear power to increase by 23-100 per cent by the next 20 years," he said.
The production can increase by 100 per cent in high scenario in which very rapid expansion of nuclear power plants will take place where countries give serious consideration to climate change. Other than India, China and Russia also have significant expansion plans.
Besides, a number of countries have taken the decision to introduce nuclear power including Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Poland, Turkey and Vietnam. Also, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has started building a nuclear power plant, he added.
"I believe that other sources of energy such as renewable also have an important contribution to make. But they are not in the position to provide the amounts of reliable base-load electricity which a modern economy needs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nuclear power can do that," Amano said.

There is some confusion (to me) about the relationship between
host names, IP addresses and things.
Everyone is quite clear about IP addresses belonging to
network interfaces not computers. Different interfaces can
be plugged into different networks.
A bridge must be plugged into two networks. For example, a
bridge's network interfaces might have IP addresses of
192.168.4.4 and 192.168.3.3, so the bridge would have IP
addresses of 192.168.4.4, 192.168.3.3 and 127.0.0.1.
Let's call the 192.168.4.0 network nw4.invalid and 192.168.3.0
nw3.invalid. These names and numbers can be put in /etc/networks
if desired.
First oddity, IP addresses are real and names are just a human
convenience. Different computers on a single network can have
different names for the same network. It would be a silly thing
to do, and if your DNS is running properly it won't happen.
The hard part is, does a name apply to an interface or a computer?
Mostly it unimportant because there is only one interface, or
they all have the same name.
Sun seems quite insistent that there is a config file for each
interface and the host name, or rather, *a* host name goes in each
Multiple lines in /etc/hosts can pretty much do the same thing.
Just for good measure, different computers can have different names
in their respective /etc/hosts file for a given IP address, but
let's ignore that as pathological.
Here is an example...
,----[ /etc/hosts ]
| 127.0.0.1 localhost
| 192.168.1.1 nb.home.invalid nb
| 192.168.1.2 live.home.invalid live
| 192.168.2.1 a64.test.invalid a64
| 192.168.2.2 x2.test.invalid x2
"live" and "a64" are the same machine.
Pinging localhost, live and a64 (from live/a64) works.
"hostname -i" returns 192.168.1.2, but the man page says it should
return the IP addresses. Plural! Bug, or typo?
Also, how does hostname decide which name to give out? Should it
give both?
sig goes here...

Twenty-five supporters of the Philippi Public Library walked and ran the 2K and 5K race course through the streets of Davis on Sept. 24 when they joined hundreds of others participating in Run For It, the annual race sponsored by the Tucker Community Foundation (TCF) as part of the Leaf Peepers Festival.
The local library supporters donned colorful top hats and bow ties for their moment in the participant circle prior to the race where they chanted "Hats off to Philippi Public Library!" All participating teams showed their enthusiasm for the event as one means of winning one of the event's many awards.
Philippi's library won $1,100 in Race Day Awards including being named one of the top teams in the race as determined by the number of team participants, team enthusiasm and sponsor money raised. Other race day funds given to the local library came from entry fees and sponsor money. The foundation returns one half of all registration fees and 100 percent of all sponsor money turned in to the foundation.

Philippi Public Library's board of directors provided the traditional 'pasta before a race dinner' to a large gathering of runners, walkers and supporters in the home of Larry and Caroline Jett. Inviting the diners to the buffet dinner are directors Annette Santilli, Alma Bennett, Caroline Jett, library director Judy Larry and Barbara Kelley.
The TCF has notified Philippi Public Library that it will receive a total of $3,622 from its participation in Run For It. Because of the success of the event as a fundraiser for the library, many participants in this year's race promised to return next year with more walkers and runners for the library team.
"The library is thrilled to have been so successful in this year's Run For It. Next year we hope to recruit lots more runners and walkers including runners who can place in the top three finishers in the 5K competitive race," said Caroline Jett, president of the library's board of directors.
