on August 20, 2013 - 8:15 PM
SAN FRANCISCO – On Ask.fm, millions of American teens talk about their hookups, struggles to get good grades and wild weekend parties, with no parents or adults to peer over their shoulders.
Some also use the social network to anonymously torment other teens.
With its popularity soaring in middle schools and high schools across the United States, Ask.fm is coming under attack from parents, politicians and privacy watchdog groups. It has been linked to the suicides of four teens in Britain and Ireland and one in the United States.
Sandy Cowles, a former teacher and stay-at-home mother of three from Irvine, Calif., said her teenage daughter was bullied on Ask.fm, which lets users anonymously ask one another questions. "People hide behind a computer screen, and there is no accountability whatsoever," she said. "You think using Facebook is bad? For teens, this is a feeding frenzy in shark-infested waters without a cage. You have chum all over the place, and you are dropped right in the middle."
Monday, the Latvia-based operator of the website said it would make it easier to report online bullying and harassment. It also plans to let users opt out of receiving anonymous questions and will hire more staff – including a safety officer – to moderate comments on the site.
The pledge came as parents and politicians accused the website and others like it of not doing enough to prevent anonymous abuse of vulnerable teens.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has called on websites such as Ask.fm to "step up to the plate and show some responsibility."
The website, already hugely popular in Europe, entered the spotlight in the United States last week when Hannah Anderson, 16, barely 48 hours after being rescued in the Idaho wilderness, logged on to Ask.fm using the name Hannahbanana722 to candidly share details of her ordeal.
In answering questions from Ask.fm users, Hannah, who had been kidnapped and held for six days, explained why she did not try to alert people she encountered on horseback that James Lee DiMaggio, 40, was holding her against her will. (She said she feared he would kill them.)
When asked whether she would have preferred that DiMaggio, who was shot and killed by FBI agents during the rescue operation, spend his life in prison instead, she wrote: "He deserved what he got." She has since deleted the account.
Hemanshu Nigam, chief executive of SSP Blue, an online safety consulting firm in Los Angeles, said growing numbers of teens are gravitating to Ask.fm.
"Middle school kids are picking up on it, and they are taking stuff they were doing on other sites and moving to Ask.fm because it's the new and cool thing right now," said Nigam, the former chief security officer of Myspace and a father of four. "What they are promoting is anonymity, and that allows people to ask really nasty questions or answer questions with really nasty answers. It's really digital bullying for the 21st century."
British authorities are investigating the deaths of two teens in recent weeks as possible cases of online bullying, urging parents and service providers to strictly monitor websites, used by young people, for abusive behavior.
Hannah Smith, 14, committed suicide this month. She had received abusive messages from Ask.fm users such as "drink bleach," "go get cancer" and "go die."
Smith's father, David, told British television that he blamed his daughter's death on Ask.fm and on authorities for not monitoring such sites more carefully. He called for filing criminal charges against the website operators.
Ask.fm, was launched in 2010 and is not the first social network accused of doing too little to shield teens. Advertisers fled Myspace as it faced criticism over a cyberbullying case, helping accelerate its downfall. Facebook and its photo-sharing service Instagram have fielded complaints from parents trying to protect children from online harassment.
The number of U.S. visitors to Ask.fm leaped to 6.3 million in July from 3.7 million in June, according to research firm ComScore.
Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler has urged advertisers to boycott Ask.fm. The site requires users to be at least 13, but younger kids lie about their age to use it.
In December, Jessica Laney,16, from Florida, was found dead in her home after being bullied on Ask.fm. One user had asked, "can you kill yourself already?" Others had called her "fat" and "a loser."
In speaking to technology blog TechCrunch in July, Ask.fm Chief Executive and founder Ilja Terebin admitted that the rapid growth of Ask.fm had made it difficult for the company to "control everything."

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Classic, Traditional, Holiday
What are you most proud of? The client called me Christmas morning to tell me that her niece was in tears! She loved the quilt!
Love the Dancer's Memory quilt. I would love to make one of these with my daughter's dance costumes. I've saved them all since she started dancing at age 2. She is now going to be 31 and has been blessed with 3 lovely boys. Time to move on with them. Chances of her having a girl are very, very slim.
I need to do one with cheerleading uniforms. Any suggestions?
Take them apart, and get down to one layer of fabric. Usually the material is pretty substantial, but if it is too thick it will be difficult to sew through! Ball point needles are great for sewing any stretchy knit fabrics, and they will help you so much here as well!
Love this! Thanks for sharing :) How did you quilt it?? Would love to chat with you about this as I have a similar memory quilt coming up !!
I cant belive I found this sight, I too have a lot of dance customs to put in a quilt. i do not know where to start, any help out there, help please.
How big are the squares? What material was used to sew costumes onto and what kind of backing did you use?
I made the squares about 12" wide. I like to work with flannel, so I used flannel for the background squares.

After jumping out to an early 2-1 lead, the Charleston Battery faltered down the stretch and allowed a late goal to draw 2-2 against the Dayton Dutch Lions on Friday night at Blackbaud Stadium in front of a crowd of 3,081.
"We had the lead and the three points in hand but we have to close it out," said Battery head coach Mike Anhaeuser. "Unfortunately, we had a little breakdown in the back and they put it in. We need to keep our focus now. We have six more points to get at home."
The Battery jumped out to an early lead in the fifth minute. Forward Dane Kelly found himself with just the keeper to beat after midfielder Jarad van Schaik collected a turnover and quickly passed to Kelly in the middle of the field. Kelly took a few dribbles and calmly slotted the ball home from just inside the box.
Dayton responded quickly from a corner in the 10th minute. After Battery defender John Wilson made a tackle to force a corner, Dayton forward Cameron Vickers collected an assist when his pass from the corner found the head of defender Brock Granger, whose finish found the top right corner of the goal.
Charleston was able to add another goal in the 23rd minute. Battery midfielder Justin Portillo collected a pass from midfielder Maikel Chang at the top of the Dayton box and used some nifty footwork to pass by multiple Dayton defenders. After finding himself to the left of the six-yard box, Portillo passed across the goal mouth and found a streaking Adam Mena. Using his right foot, Mena poked the ball past Dayton keeper Matt Williams to make the score 2-1.
Neither team was able to do much early in the second half, but as the game started winding down, the Battery defense began to sit back and Dayton was able to tie the game in the 85th minute. After a defensive miscue put the ball at his feet, midfielder David Clemens scored his first professional goal with a shot from the edge of the box between the legs of Charleston keeper Odisnel Cooper.
"It's heartbreaking knowing the situation we are in now, but that's soccer," Portillo said about the late goal. "We are going to regroup, come back Wednesday and get three points."
Charleston will remain at home for its next match, facing off against the Orange County Blues at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Blackbaud Stadium.

New Vt. auditor announces 5 areas of study
MONTPELIER — Vermont's new state auditor says he's going to examine five areas of state government to make sure the state is getting the most for its money.
Auditor Doug Hoffer announced Wednesday he plans to examine the Department of Correction's three-year $53 million contract for health care services; two contracts in the Transportation Agency; the Agency of Administration's worker's compensation and injury prevent program and the cost effectiveness of state-issued cell phones.
Hoffer took office last month.
Hoffer says his office will also audit the state's "last mile" telecom project and the health information technology investments, but those audits will require considerable background research and analysis before his office can determine specific objectives.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

It's a state of mind. It's a series of milestones. It's mostly about endings, about starting and finishing. On my seventh birthday, I told my mom I didn't want any more. Somehow I knew life couldn't get any better – that aging meant less of everything my life was then made of: sunlight and fresh air, running without fear of falling, and living without concern of consequences. I want to get that feeling back – to return to the constant now. To find a way free of responsibility. To shed the weight of years of worry. To lose my fear of falling.
The homeless man holds a cardboard sign towards my car while I idle at a red light. I am struck by the artistry of the sign, the layout and penmanship. I want to open the window, I want to tell him how much I admire his work, but I have no cash, and I am not a tease. The light changes to green. As I pass him, our eyes meet, so I give him a worthless smile. But he smiles back, a smile as beautiful as his sign. I think I'm the one who came away richer from the encounter.
What's the difference between the herd of cows in the slaughter shoot and the herd of frequent flyers boarding a plane? There is none. (This is not a joke.) The chaos of the kindergarten classroom after recess is less stressful than the whiny business-casual crowd elbowing and shoving, me first, I have status! No chivalry here, all are equally more important than any other person there. I need room for my super-important bag, I need room for my super-important laptop with my super-important spreadsheet – don't you dare lean that seat back, I'll call the flight attendant and tell on you!
We speak now of the brilliance of the child. The adults charged with his care and instruction are in turn overwhelmed, frustrated, baffled and amused. Is it better to dim the blinding light – shutter – control – contain, or should one let it shine? Release the lambent humor, the distinctive speech, and the radiant thoughts and try to absorb the glow. Potentially suffer the anguish, albeit unintentional, of careless burns. We speak of the long and short consequences, of pain now or pain later. For the well-meaning adults and also for the child whose adulthood is but a few short years away.
On the inside, it feels like necessity. It feels like someone is handing me a new toy and all I do is reach out and take it. It feels like seeing an open door and simply stepping through. It feels like a lifeline, a sharpened sword, the perfect tool, there when I need it most. You tell me I am brave for the choices I have made, but bravery is finding a way when there is no way to find. I tell you there was no choice to make, my way was always clear, my path always easy to see.
A pretty word for such a dreaded event. Ah, my poor face, the blood is your enemy now. Not so in days past when young capillaries filled and emptied with efficiency. Then, a blush was a lovely addition, a cut flower, a temporary enhancement. Not so now, my matured skin, an old sponge that should have been thrown away last week, holds on to the blood, won't let go, while the blood, trapped, starved for oxygen, dries and darkens, making my cheeks look mottled and bruised. Are you ok? Yes, I'm fine, just need to go powder my nose. Again.

Starting his political career as a student leader in the 1970s, Jaitley's first major stint with Indian polity was when he was put under preventive detention during Emergency days. Over the time, Jaitley, who was once an ABVP leader in Delhi University, has emerged as a prominent face of the BJP and is currently among the top ranks of the party. Jaitley made his debut as a Lok Sabha candidate from Amritsar this time, only to lose against Captain Amarinder Singh of Congress. However, despite the loss, Jaitley is expected to get a top portfolio in the Modi Cabinet.

The Jack B. Kelley Student Center was unusually quiet on the first day of the fall semester at West Texas A&M University. Only a few students could be found in the center Monday morning.
Justin Kreitz, a sophomore mass communications major, was helping at a Kappa Sigma booth. He said he and his fraternity brothers were "trying to make incoming freshmen feel welcome. We are not necessarily trying to get them to join our fraternity - but just make them aware of the different organizations."
Kreitz said when he awoke Monday morning, "I wasn't even thinking about school."
But, he said, "I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. I'm pretty much done with my entry-level courses."
Hurrying out of the bookstore to get to class, Melissa Guzman, a junior nursing student from Dallas, said her goal for the semester is to "keep up my GPA (grade point average)." Guzman said after graduation, she plans to return to Dallas to specialize in labor and delivery nursing.
Brett Ellington, a senior mathematics major, was in the student employment office looking at the computerized job listings. Ellington said he transferred from Houston, and the professors at WT have been very helpful.
"The counselor was very very helpful. It was the best help I've gotten," Ellington said. "The people in Amarillo are very friendly. Amarillo is the friendliest city in Texas."
As of 6 a.m. Monday, 6,340 students were enrolled, 110 more than the first class day of fall 1999, said Joe Wyatt of the communications office.

Molecomb Stakes Betting Guide
Molecomb Stakes (Group 3) (5f)
The second race on day one of Glorious Goodwood is the Molecomb Stakes over the sprint trip of 5 furlongs. It's a race for the speediest two year olds we have seen on the track this season and takes under a minute to run. It was a race for fillies only until 1981 when the Colts and Geldings were allowed to run.
Favourites have generally fared well over the years with Richard Hannon winning the 2009, 2010 and 2013 races with the first two being well backed jollies. It was a welcome return to the winners enclosure for the trainer, well known as the maestro of the two year olds but oddly hadn't won the race since 1993. the 2012 winner was less fancied however, when Mick Channon's Bungle Inthejungle won at 14/1.
Irish trainers seemed to have boycotted the event in recent years but David Wachman saddled Requinto to victory in 2011.
Only one horse has made their racecourse debut in the Molecomb, mainly due to the course really needing an animal with a bit of experience, because these youngsters tend to struggle with Goodwood's undulations. This is supported by the fact that eleven of the last sixteen winners had ran four or five times already. The majority also having a run within a month of Goodwood also suggests they need to be absolutely spot on for this speed test.
There's no doubting this race is a stern examination for a young horse and the only the best of them will come out on top and it's no surprise that many go on to better things the following season.

As some of you know, my daughter & her 2 boys live with us. The boys are 15 & just shy of 17. I swear the 17 yr old is an accident looking for a place to happen. He is the one who broke his right ankle on Super Bowl Sunday while playing ball with his dad & his brother. Now today he decided the genius thing to do was ride in the back of his friend's pickup. Needless to say, his friend was going too fast around a curve on a gravel road & Mike was flung out. The 3 other kids…Continue

Shortly after returning from a quick visit in Seattle with #1 son, I was expecting my Swedish "sister" to come for a visit so I had to clean house. Ick. As long as no one disturbs the dust, all is fine. Once I started the cleaning was brutal. She arrived and stayed with us a week before we headed off to our 50th class reunion in Texas. Because the drive wasn't going to be long enough, we added in a side trip to Grand Tetons. Luckily, they contained the fires and reopened the gate south out…Continue

Hello my quilting friends,
Just stopping by to say hello. My friend Jenny is here from England for a couple of weeks. The sewing machines have been humming. I helped her yesterday make a zig zag table runner. It's been awhile since I made one so it gave my brain a bit of work-out trying to remember all the steps. But it's done and she loves it.

Fall is coming fast! I just mowed yesterday and what leaves there were got chopped up in the mower but when I went outside this morning, more leaves!! Thankfully DH does the leaf collecting duty so sooner rather than later I will be turning the lawn work over to him.
This past week I got some time to make a small table runner for my sister in law who equally loves Halloween as much as I do. She is not into sewing so she asked if she bought the fabric would I make it? No need to ask…Continue

S. Stillerman - perhaps rather than turning our backs on that form of electing our government leaders and particularly, the highest office in the land according to the designs of the founders because we have changed our outlook and consider ourselves "Americans" we should get back to understanding that the Federal government has limited powers as enumerated in the constitution and that the states have the control beyond that. It seems we have given away or had taken away or sold away so many of the powers of the states that we no longer recognize our Republic for what it is. It starts in the history and government classrooms of our high schools and colleges and goes right up through state houses and congress to the president. We don't understand or respect the brilliance of the constitution and the form of government and electing our leaders that was set in place from it's founding. If we hope to remain strong, we must return there, rather than drifting and turning aside from it.

The Aims Community College board of trustees gave final approval to the 2010-11 budget Wednesday, amid caution that next year could be much worse.
The $68 million budget includes a $1.5 million drop in revenue, accounting for the bulk of the
$2.4 million shortfall the college faces in cuts for the next fiscal year.
To counter the shortfall for 2010-11, the board closed campuses, raised tuition, froze salaries, cut costs and stopped all capital expenditures.
Aims President Marsi Liddell cautioned the board that cuts in state funding next year could mean up to $4 million in lost revenue for the college. However, Liddell said she didn't believe a $75 million shortfall for the state would cause further cuts.
"The governor has not indicated that the cuts will come from higher education," Liddell said. "But next year is totally up in the air. It is unclear if we will lose $300 million or $700 million."
Liddell was referring to the total cost of cuts to all colleges in Colorado.
Liddell also explained what the passage of Senate Bill 3 means to the school.
Colleges in Colorado must submit any plans to raise tuition by more than 9 percent for the 2011-12 year by Aug. 1, a deadline many say is nearly impossible to meet.
"From Aug. 1 to Oct. 1 we don't have a lot of critical information we need to decide that, but, yet, if you do not submit it by then, you could lose a lot of money," Liddell said.
Because Aims has its own special taxing district, the school technically is not required to seek permission if it wants to exceed the 9 percent cap on tuition hikes. But Michael Kelly, chief administrative officer for Aims, said the board ought to submit the request anyway.
"It's about playing nice in the sandbox," Kelly said.
The board also must submit by November what its budget will look like if 50 percent of state appropriations are cut.
"So to do that we have to be able to walk on water," board president Sandy Neb said. "It's ridiculous what they're asking us to do."

SAN DIEGO -- When Minnesota's Percy Harvin returned the openingkickoff back 103 yards for a touchdown against the Chargers onSunday, it sent a shudder of recognition through the crowd of66,716 on hand for the season-opener at Qualcomm Stadium.
Special teams woes plagued the Chargers last season as they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs for the first time in five years. Opponents returned four kicks for touchdowns in 2010, and scored three other times off of blocked kicks. The Chargers' first three losses last season all were characterized by critical breakdowns in the kicking game.
The failures cost longtime special teams coach Steve Crosby his job, and Rich Bisaccia was brought in to replace him.
Harvin's dash, which opened up when rookie Darryl Gamble misseda tackle on the 15-yard line, wasn't even the worst of it.
Place kicker Nate Kaeding was injured on the play, which meantthe Chargers had to turn to punter Mike Scifres for kickoffs andplacements the rest of the afternoon.
Kaeding's absence definitely played a role in the decision to forgo a field goal attempt late in the first half, when the offense faced a fourth-and-20 from the 25-yard line. The prognosis is not optimistic for Kaeding, who injured his left ACL.
But Scifres stepped into the void, doing a yeoman's job onkickoffs and even booting a 40-yard field goal to tie the game at17-17 in the fourt quarter. He was also perfect on a pair of extrapoints, with safety Eric Weddle pressed into duty as the holder,which is typically Scifres' role.
"Surprisingly, I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be," Scifres said. "But the nerves crept in a little bit, especially going out on that first extra point.
"When we got that out of the way, it was smooth sailing and I felt that everything that Rich (Bisaccia) asked me to do in the kickoff, extra point, and field goal wise, I felt comfortable doing and knew that I was capable of doing."
Head coach Norv Turner appeared relieved about the turn ofevents.
"The great thing for me was every other kick after that we covered extremely well," he said. "We have a couple of young guys that we're asking to do a lot. I think they grew up a little today. I think we made progress in that area."
The turnaround in the special teams play helped the Chargers pull out a 24-17 victory, and left Turner feeling a little playful in the postgame press conference.
He was asked what Scifres' range was.
"How long was the one he made today?" Turner asked.
Forty yards, came the reply.
"It's 40 then," Turner said.
On this day, for a change, the Chargers' special teams had the right answers.

Report: Sabres, Jets working on blockbuster deal featuring Kane, Bogosian, Myers
Thomas Drance
February 11 2015 09:15AM
Is this Evander Kane's last day as a Winnipeg Jet?
Kane appears to be close to disproving the Westside Story mantra, according to multiple reports. "When you're a Jet, your a Jet all the way" - at least until your teammates throw your clothes into the shower.
TSN's Darren Dreger has characterized trade talks between the Buffalo Sabres and the Jets as heating up. The two sides seem to be working hard to consummate a multi-player swap per Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press. Dreger also suggests that Tyler Myers, Zach Bogosian and Drew Stafford could be involved as part of the deal, along with Kane.

What's the cost of Dustin Byfuglien at forward versus defense
Garret Hohl
February 11 2015 04:03AM
There's no use arguing which Dustin Byfuglien is better. That battle is long over and gone. The All-Star defensemen version over the last two seasons surpasses the forward version in all measures: points per game, points per sixty, Corsi... even goal differentials. The team performs better with Byfuglien on ice as a defender than on ice as a forward. The coach knows it, and the numbers know it.
Reality isn't as simple as that though. Where Byfuglien performs better is not necessarily best for the team. This is dependent on opportunity costs; the difference between Byfuglien at a certain position and the next best alternative.
We will run a little experiment in trying to estimate the true impact of moving Byfuglien between forward and defense, given the Jets current depth.
Jets Nation Recap: That's two!
Garret Hohl
February 10 2015 09:36PM
The Winnipeg Jets knew a lot was on the line today and played that way. They came off strong in the first period, dominating in possession, chances, and shots, but Dubnyk kept Minnesota in it. The game ended up going into OT with a 1:1 score, and Byfuglien buried it with a sweet snipe for the Jets 2nd ROW in a row.

Report: Sabres are the most aggressive team in pursuit of Evander Kane, potential deal could include Tyler Myers

With an eye towards accumulating assets to help them down the road, the Buffalo Sabres are reportedly among the most aggressive teams pursuing injured Winnipeg Jets power forward Evander Kane.
Could a potential package that the Sabres might offer the Jets include Tyler Myers? It's possible, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Jay-Z addresses Cuba trip and the Nets with 'Open Letter'
After a much publicized trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce, Jay-Z has been railed by Republican lawmakers about the legality of his trip. He has since shown proof that the treasury gave him permission but some people still want blood due to his healty relationship with President Obama.
Jay-Z has also been under the microscope for wanting to divest his funds with the Brooklyn Nets. In order to represent basketball players, with his Roc Nation Sports company as an agent, he can no longer be part owner of the team. The funny thing is that he really doesn't own that much: one-fith of one percent. »Read Full Blog Post
Lupe Fiasco thrown out of inaugural concert for anti-Obama rant
First off, everyone who knows anything about hip hop knows Lupe Fiasco is not a fan of our president. The company StartUp RockOn, brilliantly, decided to book him anyway. That's right, they hired the only rapper who has been outspoken about his dislike for Barack Obama for an inaugural event. Lupe did an anti-war song for 30 minutes, where he mentioned he did not vote for Obama. He was asked to change songs and eventually removed from the premises. I may not agree with Lupe's action but I definitely question why they would book him for anything to do with the president. Take a look below.
If You're Undecided, Let Rappers Decide For You
Election time is upon us again. I personally can't wait to stand in line for two hours for a vote that may or may not matter. Many people died so that I would have the opportunity to vote. That is why no matter how much I complain I will always do it. We (Bizzon and myself) don't believe in endorsing candidates. Hell, we don't even like to talk about politics amongst each other. We are however concerned with these massive numbers of undecided voters still out there on election day. After all the commercials and debates-you still don't know who to vote for? Our solution is to listen to a bunch of rappers and see if they can't sway you one way or another.
First up is Ice Cube with "Everythangs Corrupt". He's kind of all over the board here. I don't think he likes anyone. It's still hard to take him seriously after all the kid movies.

Titled "Like to Get to Know You," the song is a gentle acoustic ballad about finding new faith in old love. "I wouldn't trade places with anyone," the pair, married since 1992, harmonize. "Because I'd like to get to know you again."
"I know how you like your coffee," Simon sings. Brickell's rejoinder: "And I know how bad you drive."
Comments on the song are disabled on Brickell's Soundcloud page.
The couple were arrested April 26 at their New Canaan, Conn. home. According to police, Simon called police after he and Brickell got in a physical scuffle that left both with minor injuries.
"I got my feelings hurt and picked a fight with my husband. The police called it disorderly. Thank God it's orderly now," Brickell told PEOPLE in a statement through her lawyer.
In court in Norwalk, Conn., on Monday, the pair played down the incident.
"Both of us are fine together," Simon told the court. Brickell agreed: "He is not a threat to me at all."
The couple are due to return to court on May 16.

OLD CITY Demolition is just weeks away, and $102 million has been raised or pledged for the $150 million Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia's historic district, officials said at a ceremony Wednesday at Third and Chestnut Streets.
Former Gov. Ed Rendell, who helped choose the museum site and who has assisted with fund-raising, stood amid costumed reenactors under a chilly morning sun to herald the new tourist attraction and solicit more donors for a museum that would be the only one of its kind in the nation when it opens in 2016.
Later, in an interview, Rendell criticized a lack of financial support he said had been shown by local foundations, although he declined to single out any.

Promising startups that have not yet hit the public stage, such as equipment vendor Ruckus Wireless, also could be game-changers down the road.
SEPARATING GOOD INVESTMENT IDEAS from bad, however, isn't as easy as picking winners in the marketplace. Companies such as Salesforce and web-hosting outfit Rackspace Holding (RAX) may be essential to this sea-change, but their valuations are scarily high. Salesforce, at about $149, fetches 99 times fiscal 2013 earnings estimates, while Rackspace, which operates massive data centers for cloud services, trades at 86 times. Are their opportunities really that much greater than those at Apple, which fetches 11 times estimates, or at Microsoft, which trades at 10 times?
Probably not, argues Barron's Roundtable member Fred Hickey, publisher of the High-Tech Strategist. "Companies like Rackspace and Salesforce are classic story stocks," he says, "and it is very dangerous to own such stocks when everything they might produce in the way of earnings and cash flow is already priced in." Also in that boat, he argues, is Amazon.com, which stands to prosper if its Kindle Fire can elbow its way into the tablet computer market. But at 104 times earnings, that's a big if.
The table "Who Wins, Who Loses" sifts through both opportunities and valuation, to find the best bets for investors. Google's earnings flub last week notwithstanding, that company is still on our list of likely winners, which are few and far between.
IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR Microsoft. Smartphones were still relatively primitive when Windows 7 was introduced in 2009, and tablet computers didn't even exist. Now, as the charts "Game On!" illustrate, they threaten the PC hegemony. Neither Microsoft, HP, nor Dell is a force in smartphones or tablets.
"It is becoming a mainstream idea that your PC is not the center of everything," says Kevin Landis of Firsthand Funds, who has owned Microsoft, off and on, for years -- and is nervous every time he does.
That said, Microsoft is putting its vast resources behind its Windows 8 operating system for phones and tablets. And at 12 a.m. Friday, it will begin selling a tablet computer of its own, known as the Surface, setting up a midnight madness event. So we'll know soon how the excitement stacks up against iPhone and iPad madness.
On Thursday, Microsoft reported flat year-over-year revenue, led by a 9% drop in the division that contains Windows. The numbers included pre-sales for Windows 8. Excluding them, sales in the Windows unit dropped by a third. At nine times next year's expected profits, Microsoft shares are very inexpensive, considering the strengths of the company's other businesses, including server software, databases, and collaboration. But unless Microsoft can show that Surface and all the other Win 8 devices will turn the tide for that part of the division, its stock will continue to suffer. Microsoft closed the week at $28.64 and yields 3.2%. (For more on last week's earnings mishaps at Microsoft, Google, and AMD, see Tech Trader.)
THE INEXORABLE SHIFT AWAY from PCs is causing havoc for manufacturers. This year, worldwide sales of personal computers are projected to drop about 2%, to 357 million units, according to IDC's David Daoud. In dollars, they will fall 5% to 6%. More telling: Smartphone sales are expected to surge 42% this year, to $294 billion, topping PC sales for the first time. And sales of tablets are expected to rocket 65%, to $59 billion.
To Dan Niles of Alpha One Capital Partners, this sounds very familiar. He worked in the 1980s at minicomputer titan Digital Equipment Corp., whose founder, Ken Olsen, famously said there was no reason anyone would want a computer in his home. DEC was later acquired by Compaq Computer and vanished without a trace.
Smartphones and tablets are similarly underestimated now, Niles asserts. For that reason, he's inclined to avoid Intel and Microsoft. "Go ahead, gamble they can make the leap to this new world," he says. "I don't want that bet."
As the PC market fades, Intel is trying to maintain its lead in server chips, while becoming a force in phones and tablets. Last week, it reported that PC growth had slowed last quarter and this quarter to half its usual seasonal rate, disappointing investors waiting for spiffy new "ultrabook" laptops to make a splash. At the same time, CEO Paul Otellini said Intel's new Atom chip would be in 20 tablets this quarter, including the Surface.
The problem is that Intel has more to lose from the PC decline than to gain from selling cheaper chips for tablets and smartphones. The company's shares, which closed the week at $21.27, trade at nine times next year's estimates and pay a rich 4% dividend. While Intel may never be a growth company again, it probably won't hurt investors who own it.
Apple, trading at 9.1 times this year's projected profits, after backing out $117 billion in cash and investments, is priced quite reasonably, given its expected 24% growth in revenue this year. Even as one of the world's dominant phone makers, it has just 7% of the mobile-phone market, according to Gartner, giving it ample room to grow.
Samsung, the dominant global phone producer, shows no sign of stopping its gains at the expense of smaller companies. Its stock is also undemanding, at 7.5 times next year's earnings' estimate. The Korean-listed shares traded Friday at 1.302 million won, about $1,200; its unsponsored American depositary receipts are thinly traded.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POST-PC world is the cloud. On route 101 in Silicon Valley, Wal-Mart has posted signs reading "WALMART DATA," offering jobs to engineers in its San Bruno labs. That's a sign of just how mainstream it's become for companies to sift through enormous amounts of information.
Wal-Mart's quest, and others like it, are changing the very nature of data, says Paul Saffo, a tech pundit who runs Discern Analytics, a big-data outfit in Silicon Valley.
Big data ultimately will redefine the database. To track customer information and behavior in real time, and to respond to it instantaneously, companies are turning increasingly to databases that put information in the random-access memory chips of a computer, rather than on the disk drive, as has been done traditionally. Database-giant Oracle ORCL -0.5098139179199592% Oracle Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD39.03 -0.2 -0.5098139179199592% /Date(1474923843193-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9681118 AFTER HOURS USD39.09 0.0600000000000023 0.15372790161414296% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 159823 P/E Ratio 18.585714285714285 Market Cap 161061387393.082 Dividend Yield 1.5372790161414296% Rev. per Employee 273485 More quote details and news » (ORCL) is fending off new competition from SAP (SAP), which sells just such an "in-memory" database. And start-ups also are targeting the database market. Among them: MemSQL, a Silicon Valley company started by former Facebook engineers.
For the moment, Oracle's traditional databases are benefiting from the surge, but that could change by this time next year.
Google is a player par excellence in big data. Sales of smartphones using the Android OS don't make the company any money upfront—it doesn't charge for use of the system -- but ultimately, all the activity on those phones is sending back to Google real-time data from the world that makes its searches more valuable to advertisers.
Google CEO Larry Page said on last week's call that the company was on pace to generate $8 billion a year from mobile devices. And some day, Google's self-driving car will bring the company real-time readings of traffic conditions -- another way to feed Google's rapacious appetite for big data.
And what of Facebook FB -0.5079712410128165% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD127.31 -0.65 -0.5079712410128165% /Date(1474923600296-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 14666626 AFTER HOURS USD127.32 0.0099999999999909 0.007854842510407667% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 398314 P/E Ratio 61.20673076923077 Market Cap 367367909012.184 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1746120 More quote details and news » (FB), which, like Google, is building its own computers from scratch to redesign the data center? Facebook defenders take a typical Silicon Valley attitude, trusting it will try a number of ways to monetize the increasing use of mobile technology and eventually hit on a solution. Firsthand's Landis, who's owned the stock since before its IPO and confesses that he's sitting on a loss, says, "Even if they hit one out of 10 products right, that's enough."
Maybe so. But all of that experimentation could cause the company to step up spending next year, says Loomis Sayles tech analyst Tony Ursillo, who also co-manages the Saratoga Advantage Trust Technology and Communications Portfolio. And that could shock the Street, which is projecting roughly flat operating margins for the company.
Amazon.com is one of the most striking players in the post-PC world. Its Kindle Fire, starting at $159, is a truncated tablet -- little more than a means for users to feed at the Amazon trough. Two weeks ago, CEO Jeff Bezos told the BBC that the company breaks even on the hardware, preferring to "make money when people use our devices, not when people buy our devices."
Amazon has overcome many doubters over the years, but with a triple-digit P/E ratio, there's still a lot of doubt to overcome.
Salesforce.com is another cloud company with a heart-stopping valuation, trading at 40 times trailing cash flow. Salesforce has new competition, in the form of Workday, which went public Oct. 12 and popped nearly 70% out of the gate. While Salesforce's software for managing customer relations is important, Workday's focus on human resources—benefits and payroll administration -- is perceived as far more critical to companies.
Hickey predicts that Workday could lure away some Salesforce investors, calling it "the real deal" in cloud computing. But Workday is projected to lose money through fiscal 2015.
EMC is a less expensive way to play the cloud, says Ben Reitzes of Barclays Capital. "EMC's focus is on the hybrid cloud," he says. It has products that help enterprises shift parts of their data-processing into the cloud, reaping greater efficiencies, while maintaining full control of their critical data.
Another company to watch is Ruckus Wireless, which makes equipment that helps carriers offload cellular traffic onto public Wi-Fi hotspots. That is important because the faster connections of the latest smartphones and tablets will cause a surge in bandwidth usage, taxing the precious spectrum. Craig Mathias with Farpoint Group calls CEO Selina Lo "one of the smartest people I know" and a skilled entrepreneur. Ruckus recently filed documents for an initial stock offering.
AS THIS FATEFUL YEAR for the personal computer grinds on, some investors probably will bottom-fish for stocks. One that might be worth a look is Seagate Technology STX 2.029621503017005% Seagate Technology PLC U.S.: Nasdaq USD37.2 0.74 2.029621503017005% /Date(1474923600225-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5295645 AFTER HOURS USD36.78 -0.420000000000002 -1.1290322580645162% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 116011 P/E Ratio 45.36585365853659 Market Cap 10941974185.6912 Dividend Yield 6.774193548387097% Rev. per Employee 245275 More quote details and news » (STX), which trades at four times next year's earnings, less than one times sales, and pays a 4.6% dividend. Seagate has a chance to shift from the PC world to the post-PC world, by selling devices for the cloud and tablets. Unlike HP, which has a similarly cheap valuation, Seagate has a strategy for this and the means to implement it.
A factor that's important for all technology stocks is what happens after November's elections. Any progress on tax policy could unleash massive amounts of cash held by tech companies overseas. That, says Paul Wick, portfolio manager of Columbia Seligman Communications & Information fund, could lead to increased share buybacks and higher dividends. It could also encourage mergers and acquisitions, putting some beaten-down names in play.
But unless that happens, expect PC names to struggle as they adjust to a world in which smartphones and tablets are increasingly seen by consumers as capable of providing most, if not all, of the computing power they need.
In short, the traditional economic engine of the personal computer has broken down, and it's unlikely to get back in gear.

They did need some sharpening out of the package, and will probably need frequent sharpening, but for the price they're a great deal! May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bdock Great set for the price Forfurc hased this item 3 days before Christmas and without paying for a huge amount for extra shipping it arrived right before Christmas that's awesome service! January 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CMPEN Super sharp knives! I ordered these to go with my J.A. Henckels knife block set. The quality is excellent, they are lightweight and easy to handle, and they are all super sharp! January 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ivani Superb Product For years, I have been hunting for kitchen knives of good quality. Some of the knives I had to buy because I had no choice were dull or would break easily. BUT THESE KNIVES ARE GREAT! And very sharp, which is just what I was looking for! July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ejcolby Good combination of blade shapes. The paring knives arrived on time, as described, and well packaged. The different blade shapes are all welcome additions to the kitchen. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Unhappy222 Sharp long lasting knives I love Henckels knives - they're really the only brand I buy and they're usually very expensive. This set is a great deal. October 10, 2012

Skip to comments.Soros commits $1M to pro-Obama super PAC
Posted on 09/27/2012 1:25:24 PM PDT by ColdOne
George Soros is committing $1 million to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC raising money to
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Soros trying to buy the election again.
vile cretin - mechanics wanted
Gee, where are all those reports about the Evil Rich buying the election? I guess that only applies to Romney supporters, not the REALLY Evil Rich Geo. Soros.
This is so hilarious!
The Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson are anteing up 10 of millions for Romney and Soros manages just a mil?
Makes me wonder if Soros has any confidence in the product. Maybe the mil is just a token?
kind of him considering he made billions with VENEZUELA OIL while his pal Odungo put the brakes on drilling here....and also kicked in a few tax payer billion to help them get it out of the ground
Bingo. You would have thought that BY NOW, this Judenrat traitor would have gotten his from SOMEBODY.
Thought I read that the old bastard was engaged to some sweet young thing, and his mind wasn't all in on politics this go round.
I heard that as well. A photo of the happy couple was someplace here on these nets.
Look for Pelosi to plop in front of the cameras discussing how this latest act by a partisan billionaire funding super-PACs makes her and Barack want to get rid of them.
Soros knows 1 million ain't gonna do anything. It's just for show.
The Obama family lives on a two million? a week.
I thought Darth Soros was okay with Romney? Wish he'd make up his mind.
they sleepeth
He doesn't think Obamma's going to win. He's just throwing in a consolation in case he does.
If he thought he had a chance, he'd be throwing in $20 million.
Call it a minimal donation to retain 0bama's good will.
Forget the skewed polls, the scumbag MSM and the pervasive Mobys. If Palpatine isn't putting up any more dough than Maher, then Barky's one and done. Bet on it, because it's pretty obvious that Soros is.
Isn't his company counting the votes?
He doesn't need to spend money
That is one million that we know about!

Conspiracy "theorists" the world over are all crazy, but boxingscene loonies take first prize in futility, and emissions of hot air. Like yong sheep always starting and jumping at a stray breeze.
That wasn't for the Rubio fight, the pre-fight urine story was for the Andy Lee fight, when Steward was suspicious and made noise about why jr wasn't tested afterwards. Chavez jr got away with no testing for Rubio.
As far as using the phrase "conspiracy theory", it's not applicable here because chavez jr has been caught before, and any boxer who has been caught should always be under increased scrutiny for their entire career, making sure they get tested correctly in every fight, with complete transparency.
Just to clarify - it's not a conspiracy theory when it's already been proven.
