To everyone on this board,I've been observing this stock for a while now and check the message boards every once in a while. It is sad to see what they have become - a place for people to trash others' management and decision making instead of merely discussing the stock. What makes it all funny is the actual content. If you really want to trash others, please take a good look at yourselves first. One person claims that FDP keeps on hiring 'nobodies'. Then please my friend, reveal yourself, the person who is sitting behind his desk at some crappy job trying to make ends meet and whose boss probably does not even know his name. Then there are the others that trash religions. Why is it you think people around the world hate us Americans so much? It is because of rednecks like you who trash other races and religions for the stupidest reasons and advise people to stop buying or investing in foreign products just because you are frustrated with your own issues. And you sit there and trash the CEO like you know him or like he is some religous extremist. I have never met him and probably never will, and truth be told I never really sat there and thought about what I think of him. However, he seems like a hard-working businessman and he is also well respected in the business world so I don't know why there is all this anger. In conclusion, while you sit there and trash his 'bad' decisions, he is spending his hard-earned millions and enjoying life which are made possible by those same 'bad' decisons and the truth is...while he's doing that...we all know that he is probably never gonna read a single one of those messages directed at him! And before I get a million 'hate' replies ... don't take it personally ... actually think about what I have said and tell me what I have said that is wrong, as I am sure most people on this board will agree with me.Thank you
Good points, I could even figure out where that Mohammed thread started so I stayed out. The world's Great Religions have to get along, unless we want wars involving billions of people. I don't. The hope is in the moderate, rational forces within each society to reach out and reinforce each other. Meanwhile FDP is heading for a deeper section of the bargain bin.
I second your assessment that the level of discourse on this board is particularly low. Indeed management should not come in for derision based on their religion or nationality. Having said that, they SHOULD come in for derision for their mismanagement, unprofessionalism and contemptous attitude toward shareholders. This applies to Mr. Abu-Ghazaleh and Mr. Inserra. Their treatment of analysts on their conference calls is inexcusable as is their blithe dismissal of many legitimate inquiries. They do not seem to take seriously the notion that they have business partners in us, the public shareholders. And it bodes ill for the stock near term. But this stock reminds me alot of another stock that I heard Mario Gabelli describe once: "What does this company have? Location, location, location. What does this company lack? Manangement, management, management." If you have a long enough view, eventually management has to get it right or be gone. If they screw it up much more, they will invite the likes of a Carl Icahn into the sandbox. If they tank the company in order to buy it back cheaply, they will by up to their necks in lawsuits for the next decade. They can't be dumb enough to not see this, so what we have to rely on is the this team's incentive to get it right. Presumably, Mr. Abu-Ghazaleh does not want to see this major family asset become worth a fraction of what it is potentially worth. Presumably he doesn't want to be beseiged by shareholder lawsuits, and presumably he does not want his name and reputation to forever carry a taint in the US capital markets, and presumably he doesn't want to fight a raider. That is the best hope we have in the absence of any evidence that this management team is serving our interests.I think we will make good money here, but perhaps not for awhile, and we will almost certainly get grey hairs in the meantime.

HOUSTON — Case Keenum's first Senior Day was nothing to celebrate.
Houston's injured quarterback hobbled onto the Robertson Stadium turf on crutches Nov. 13, 2010, with the season's smallest crowd offering lukewarm, empathetic applause.
Keenum was resigned that this was how his college career would end, a season and final home game ruined by a freak injury to his right knee.
The NCAA, though, granted the school's appeal to give Keenum one more chance to get it right and, boy, have he and the Cougars taken advantage.
No. 7 Houston (12-0, 8-0 Conference USA) has rolled through the regular season behind its record-setting quarterback and earned the right to host Saturday's league championship against No. 24 Southern Mississippi (10-2, 6-2).
Not even the ever-positive Keenum could've imagined how different this once-and-for-all final home game will feel compared to last year. Or how much would be at stake.
An undefeated season. A Bowl Championship Series berth. An invitation to the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
Everything could be one win away.
"We've done some special things," Keenum said, "but we know that there are even more special things out there."
It could be one grand finale for Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, too.
The main drawback of the Cougars' march into the national spotlight is that Sumlin has emerged as a target for just about every higher-profile program looking for the next coaching superstar.
The Cougars have cleanly swatted away distractions all season, from nagging BCS talk to the first visit to campus by ESPN's popular "GameDay" program.
Keenum said not even speculation about Sumlin will take the Cougars' eyes off the prize.
"We've had a good mind-set, focusing on the task at hand, and that's the same thing for this week," Keenum said.
Sumlin says he'll meet with athletic director Mack Rhoades after Saturday's game to talk about his future.
A former Oklahoma assistant, Sumlin's name seems to come up every year when coaches are fired elsewhere, and he thinks his team will handle the rumors with ease, just because everyone is so used to hearing them.
"I can't control who's going to write about me going where," he said. "I see things that people have asked me about that are really outlandish. I have a track record of handling things."
Southern Miss is dealing with the same kind of speculation about its coach, Larry Fedora. Like Sumlin, Fedora is wrapping up his fourth season and he's mentioned as a candidate for several openings.
The Golden Eagles are 32-19 under Fedora, and they're finally having the breakthrough season he's long expected.
"It's probably taken longer than I wanted it to, to be honest," Fedora said. "I felt like we've been in a position to do it each and every year and just didn't get over the hump or didn't get it done for a lot of different reasons.
"This year, this team has overcome a lot of things to put themselves in a position to play for the conference championship."
The league's trophy is really what Saturday's game is about, and the outcome will be dripping with irony, no matter who wins.
The Cougars can secure the league's first BCS berth, just as they're preparing to bolt for a more lucrative conference. Southern Miss, meanwhile, can deny the league its best chance to earn a BCS bid and the multimillion dollar payday that would come with it.
"That's a tough one, you know?" Fedora said. "I'm sorry. That's the only thing I can say."
The one thing Conference USA can bank on is both teams putting on an offensive show.
The teams have scored an average of 58.8 points together in the 13 meetings, and the winning team has scored at least 30 points in nine of those. The Golden Eagles won 59-41 in Hattiesburg last year, and Houston won 50-43 at home in 2009.
"There have been some crazy things that have happened in this game," Sumlin said.
This year, both teams have as much firepower as ever.
Keenum is the Football Bowl Subdivision's career leader in just about every significant category for quarterbacks, and the Cougars have scored at least 35 points in all 12 games, hitting 56 or more in half of them.
Tyron Carrier is Conference USA's career receptions leader (307) is 10 catches shy of moving into second place on the FBS career chart, and Patrick Edwards has 41 TD catches, fifth in FBS history.
The Golden Eagles, meanwhile, have averaged 37 points in their last seven conference games, and senior quarterback Austin Davis needs 77 yards passing to break his own single-season school record.
Southern Miss junior Tracey Lampley could be the most versatile player on either side, with 885 yards rushing, 728 yards receiving and more than 1,800 career yards on kick returns.
The stadium atmosphere could be as wild as the game itself.
Students began camping outside the ticket office at 3 a.m. Monday, and about 400 had gathered when Rhoades arrived at work about 6 a.m. When the office opened, the school sold out its allotment of 4,000 student tickets in about four hours.
"I think it is a situation where everyone will be excited," Sumlin said. "Our fans will be as excited as anyone. We can't wait to play Saturday."
Big Ten
INDIANAPOLIS — When Mark Dantonio took the Michigan State job in 2007, he had a simple plan — follow Wisconsin.
He wanted a tough, physical offense. He expected the Spartans to win with defense and special teams. He hoped to shed the image of a periodic Big Ten contender and become a regular powerhouse, just like Wisconsin.
All No. 11 Michigan State has to do now is win the conference crown by beating No. 15 Wisconsin on Saturday night.
"They (the Badgers) wanted to build good teams on defense, they wanted to play hard on special teams, they wanted to play in packed houses and win Big Ten titles and really they were doing that, probably in the '90s, the late '90s and the 2000s, and they've continued on," Dantonio said. "That's hopefully what we're doing."
League foes would be hard-pressed to find major distinctions between the two programs, which look more like twins than budding rivals.
A year ago, the Badgers and Spartans finished 7-1 in league play and wound up in a three-way tie for the conference title. Wisconsin won the tiebreaker and went to the Rose Bowl. This year, both went 10-2, won division crowns and will face one another in the Big Ten's inaugural championship game.
The matchup features the league's top two quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins, two top-five defenses and two powerful offenses.
Michigan State has won three of the past four, all in East Lansing, and the home team has won each of the past seven games in this series. Michigan State and Wisconsin are meeting for the third straight time with Top 25 rankings and this year's first matchup wasn't even decided until a replay review overturned the officials' call after time expired, giving the Spartans a 37-31 victory.
It doesn't get closer than that.
"I really respect and admire everything about what we have done here at Wisconsin, and the same thing could be said there at Michigan State. I've known Mark a long time, a tremendous football coach," Badgers coach Bret Bielema said. "I think there are common things that have played into our success, but I think we're a lot different, too."
Wisconsin's football resurgence began when Barry Alvarez brought his version of smashmouth football to Madison.
He recruited massive offensive linemen, big backs and when things got tough, the Badgers simply reverted back to old-school power football. Alvarez used that philosophy to win three Rose Bowl games in seven years.
"I love to play Wisconsin because this is how football is," Spartans defensive back Trent Robinson said. "We know what they're going to do and they know what we're going to do. You know it's going to be a good game and if you don't come ready to play, it's going to be a blowout or something bad is going to happen."
Bielema has added his own twists to Wisconsin's traditional style.
While running back Montee Ball was busy scoring a league record 34 TDs, collecting the Big Ten offensive player of the year award and moving within Barry Sanders' single-season record (39 TDs), Bielema's hand-picked quarterback, Russell Wilson, was putting up record-breaking numbers, too. His passing efficiency of 192.9 is still ahead of Colt Brennan's 186.0, set in 2006 with pass-happy Hawaii and he can break Graham Harrell's NCAA record for most consecutive games with a TD pass (36) on Saturday.
The combination of power running, accurate throwing and a strong defense has made the Badgers the only Football Bowl Subdivision team with a scoring offense (44.8) and a scoring defense (15.2) ranked in the top five. Both are No. 4.
Dantonio's admiration for the Badgers goes way beyond statistics, though.
"I felt like Wisconsin was a program that when Coach Alvarez came there, he sort of resurrected the program and built it," Dantonio said. "Attendance was down, things weren't as positive as they are now. I don't want to disrespect anybody by what I'm saying, but they needed a lift. Here, we're sort of the same. They wanted to establish it by being a tough-minded football program. I think we've done that as well."
Actually, Michigan State is perfecting the model.
Cousins has thrown for more than 2,700 yards, 21 touchdowns, six interceptions and is likely to be a high pick in April's NFL draft. His favorite target, B.J. Cunningham, has 1,125 yards and nine TDs receiving and earned all-conference honors.
Yet the Spartans still rushed for 139 yards per game and have a defense ranked No. 3 in the nation and No. 11 against the run.
The Badgers know what they're up against.
"They did a great job of stopping the run and they deserved to win (the first game) because they went after us and we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times," Ball said. "That's something we can't do this time when we get our second chance."
Especially when second chances are so rare in college.
Nobody on Wisconsin's coaching staff can remember having a rematch. Neither can Dantonio.
So who has the advantage this time?
The oddsmakers have installed Wisconsin as a heavy favorite again, giving the Spartans plenty of motivation to prove they're better than the Badgers.
"I feel like no matter how much success we've had here, people doubt us," Cousins said. "We take it in stride. We enjoy being underdogs, we enjoy being able to battle and prove people wrong, but the fact of the matter is, there will always be people doubting us, there will always be people pointing fingers saying we can't do the next thing. We've made it a habit lately of proving them wrong, so we're going to keep doing that."
Just like Wisconsin did over the past two decades.

Return of CNN 'Crossfire' injects more opinion into evening cable news
Some may find it ironic that after a lengthy hiatus, Jon Stewart returned to host "The Daily Show" just days before the Sept. 9 re-launch of CNN's "Crossfire." During a memorable October 2004 appearance on "Crossfire," Stewart said the show's liberal-vs.-conservative argument format was "hurting America" and accused the hosts of failing to live up to their "responsibility to the public discourse." Two months later, CNN president Jonathan Klein cancelled the 23-year-old show, saying he agreed "wholeheartedly" with Stewart's assessment.
Now, under new CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker, "Crossfire" is back at 6:30 p.m., injecting more opinion-driven programming into an evening cable news landscape that, according to a Pew Research Center analysis, is already chock full of ideology and commentary. The ideological combatants on the new "Crossfire" include a conservative team of former House Speaker and presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and columnist and commentator S.E. Cupp. Their liberal opponents are Stephanie Cutter, a former deputy campaign manager for President Obama, and Van Jones, the former special advisor for green jobs in the Obama White House. All of them have made numerous appearances as cable pundits.
The snapshot analysis of more than 100 hours of programming in late 2012 found that liberal-dominated MSNBC led the way in evening commentary (86% of its airtime) compared with only 14% devoted to reporting. The Fox News Channel, with its conservative lineup, had the highest proportion of reporting (44%) although there was still more opinion (56%) on its evening programming.
In contrast with its two main rivals, CNN has traditionally branded itself around coverage of breaking news events and a more balanced menu of political commentary. And over the course of the entire day, the Pew Research study showed, it was the only one of the three cable channels to offer more reporting (54%) than opinion (46%). But in the evening, CNN leaned more heavily on opinion—66% as opposed to 34% reporting—than Fox News. The resurrection of Crossfire, which will replace a half-hour of Wolf Blitzer's "Situation Room," will likely increase the commentary quotient.
CNN's ratings and programming problems, particularly in the evening, have long been noted by media analysts and reporters, and some have attributed them, in part, to CNN's failure to follow the Fox and MSNBC model of personality-driven, highly partisan programming in the evening. In that context, the return of Crossfire could be a signal that CNN executives agree with that critique.
The viewership statistics—in the era between Crossfires—do tell a story. When you compare January-August 2005 to January-August 2013 audiences, median viewership across the entire day for the Fox News Channel grew from 896,000 to nearly 1,080,000. The MSNBC viewership increased from 209,000 to almost 382,000. At CNN, viewership was flat, barely inching up from 434,000 to nearly 435,000 in that eight year period.

The broader historical context for Jon Stewart's critique of Crossfire and the "hurting" of America, can be found in Newton Minow's 1961 arguments about the "vast wasteland": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_…
It has to do with news in the public interest versus news as entertainment: youtube.com/watch?v=iffW_GWBQIU
Ironically and coincidentally, I was in the audience of The Daily Show on the night of the Crossfire re-launch and I had the good fortune to be able to personally ask Jon Stewart what he thought about the return of this "partisan hackery". He said something to the effect "… that truck is already in the ditch. It is not going anywhere." His original arguments remain highly relevant today, because not much has changed in the media business.
The point is that, while Crossfire may not yet be hurting America with their new watered down segments, they are not actually doing anything good for America either. However, they really like to pretend that they are because it is good PR. But, it is important not to get confused about things. As a company, CNN is not for America or against it; they are for gathering eyeballs and selling advertising.
As an organization, they are agnostic to the extent that they do not want to offend their advertisers. To take up a new position, as a company wedged between two competitors on each side of the political aisle, is risky because it might be considered offensive and drive away revenue; so, they dare not risk it. What follows is a gentle, clumsy and cloudy persuasive dance.
Jeff Zucker has recently argued as an apologist for Crossfire, using the pretense of objectivity as a smokescreen, stating: "So for us, the path is objectivity. And just because you're being objective doesn't mean you can't have points of view. Witness, Crossfire, okay?"
To suggest that Crossfire is objective discourse is not truthful– it is an intellectually dishonest attempt to side-step the problem. Ultimately, it is an attempt to not have to contend with a very big and pressing problem within broadcast journalism.
They are avoiding a complex set of questions that are very hard to answer: What does it mean to be "objective" in journalism? What exactly is "media bias"?
The standard definition of objectivity is "judgment based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices."
In real objectivity you cannot have a point-of-view. It is sort of like science– you can only report on what you see and hear but, human perception in the cultural, political and social involves differing outlooks pertaining to risk and blame and thus, offers differing ways of explaining problems and predicting outcomes; this is the "truth" that is completely missing from the present descriptions of objectivity in journalism and media bias.
To not acknowledge these raw facts, (instead resorting to a twisted and weak argument about "objectivity"), is to deny the human differences in moral reasoning that very clearly exist. The truth is that Fox News and MSNBC are gifts of the free market that were made possible by the deletion of the Fairness Doctrine (For background see: scholarship.law.stjohns.edu/cgi/…) . Today, these broadcasters all have audiences because we, as Americans, fundamentally disagree about what should, must and ought be, and often: what is, in the political, the social and the cultural.
Within authentic journalistic objectivity, you simply report on what you see and hear– what is observable. Emotions or personal prejudices are not observable– but, they are in each and every one of us; they are derived from lived experience and our own personal commitments; to argue persuasively toward these personal commitments is called: editorializing and advocacy.
The ultimate problem with CNN is in their lack of commitment to a role as a community trustee within the context of the weakening of the Fairness Doctrine. They have no social obligation and they are being disingenuous; this is how they are hurting America.
CNN's commitment is as a market participant; they sell ads. They are committed to their advertisers.
Their job is to get lots of people to view their content– not help American public discourse. The best they can muster is the thin veneer of the "Ceasefire" segment. If they did in fact have a commitment towards enhancing reasoned discourse and "helping America", they would have updated their outlook after Crossfire was taken off the air.
I know this because I have been trying to help CNN with this very issue for five years– they want nothing to do with it.
Let's not get confused about their role here. There are no internal or external requirements for them to help anyone except themselves; the only problem is that they hurting America by being disingenuous about their role– they possess the capacity to help America as community trustees of broadcasting in the public interest; they choose not to.
Speculatively speaking– it is possible that this position on journalistic objectivity is not Jeff Zucker's fault; it may be a policy decision that is handed down from very top echelons of Time-Warner. From the outside, it is hard to tell where the public positions originates but, it seems that the policy on how CNN publicly addresses objectivity in journalism and media bias are worth revisiting, especially given Crossfire's broad lackluster appeal.
The fact of the matter remains, CNN has repeatedly failed to innovate and even with new leadership, they have consistency failed to look beyond their old tired methods and they are being dishonest about what their role in all of this is; they ultimately have a PR and brand problem because people, (who agree with Jon Stewart's, highly credible critique– that links back to Newton Minow's), expect CNN to be genuine, real and honest about this objectivity issue and also, to act in a responsible manner toward the common good– by helping America, not hurting America.
Until CNN/Time-Warner update their position, the old lipstick on a pig metaphor remains highly applicable in this context– as is the one about wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
Jon Stewart was right – Crossfire was lame back then, and it's not going to be any better now. Is this what we need – less facts and more arguments? I don't think so. CNN dumped their investigative reporters but hired Newt Gingrich?? Looks like they're well on their way to winning the race to rock bottom. I will NOT be watching CNN again anytime soon.

The Finest Hours: The True Story of the U.S. Coast Guard's Most Daring Sea Rescueby Casey Sherman Michael J. Tougias
The true story of an incredible disaster and heroic rescue at sea told by two masterful storytellers.<P><P> In the winter of 1952, New England was battered by the most brutal nor'easter in years. As the weather wreaked havoc on land, the freezing Atlantic became a wind-whipped zone of peril.<P> In the early hours of Monday, February 18, while the storm raged, two oil tankers, the Pendleton and the Fort Mercer, found themselves in the same horrifying predicament. Built with "dirty steel," and not prepared to withstand such ferocious seas, both tankers split in two, leaving the dozens of men on board utterly at the Atlantic's mercy.<P> The Finest Hours is the gripping, true story of the valiant attempt to rescue the souls huddling inside the broken halves of the two ships. Coast Guard cutters raced to the aid of those on the Fort Mercer, and when it became apparent that the halves of the Pendleton were in danger of capsizing, the Guard sent out two thirty-six-foot lifeboats as well. These wooden boats, manned by only four seamen, were dwarfed by the enormous seventy-foot seas. As the tiny rescue vessels set out from the coast of Cape Cod, the men aboard were all fully aware that they were embarking on what could easily become a suicide mission.<P> The spellbinding tale is overflowing with breathtaking scenes that sear themselves into the mind's eye, as boats capsize, bows and sterns crash into one another, and men hurl themselves into the raging sea in their terrifying battle for survival.<P> Not all of the eighty-four men caught at sea in the midst of that brutal storm survived, but considering the odds, it's a miracle--and a testament to their bravery--that any came home to tell their tales at all.<P> Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman have seamlessly woven together their extensive research and firsthand interviews to create an unforgettable tale of heroism, triumph, and tragedy, one that truly tells of the Coast Guard's finest hours.

To the Editor:—
Since the original description of erythema multiforme by von Hebra in 1860, this skin reaction has been reported to be associated with a variety of seemingly unrelated conditions such as viral, bacterial, or mycotic infection, collagen disease, occult malignancy, deep x-ray therapy, severe sunburn, and hypersensitivity reactions to numerous drugs, contactants, and foods. The common denominator, however, does seem to be hypersensitivity. In addition to the cutaneous manifestations erythema multiforme exudativum (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), may have associated systemic manifestations including fever, dehydration, arthralgias, cardiac arrhythmias, pericarditis, lymphadenopathy, pneumonitis, nephritis, and transient myocarditis. The histopathology of erythema multiforme is that of an allergic vasculitis with a perivascular inflammatory exudate composed mainly of mononuclear cells, but also neutrophils, eosinophils, scattered nuclear fragments, and at times extravasated erythrocytes.

In Game 1, Alex Presley hit a game-ending single off the glove of diving shortstop Pete Kozma with two outs in the 11th inning to give the Pirates the victory. In the second game, Andrew McCutchen clubbed his 15th homer of the season to lead Pittsburgh. The sweep propelled the Pirates into first place.
Brewers 6-3, Cubs 5-2: Jeff Bianchi delivered a two-run single off shortstop Starlin Castro's glove with two outs in the ninth to lead Milwaukee to a doubleheader sweep of Chicago. The Cubs took a 2-1 lead to the ninth inning of Game 2, but closer Kevin Gregg (2-3) couldn't hold it. In the first game, Jean Segura hit a solo homer and the go-ahead double to power Milwaukee.
Phillies 7, Giants 3: Carlos Ruiz and Michael Young hit two-run homers to back John Lannan, and Philadelphia beat San Francisco to snap an eight-game losing streak.
Braves 11, Rockies 3: Freddie Freeman hit two home runs, Brian McCann added a three-run shot, and Atlanta beat Colorado to win its fifth consecutive game.
Mets 4, Marlins 2, 10 innnings: John Buck hit a tiebreaking two-run single in the 10th that lifted New York over Miami.
Padres 4, Reds 2: Nick Hundley's two-run double in the bottom of the eighth broke a 2-all tie and sent San Diego past Cincinnati.
Indians 7, White Sox 4: Pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn hit a two-run single in the eighth inning as Cleveland beat free-falling Chicago to win its sixth victory in a row. Chicago has lost five straight.
Orioles 4, Astros 3: Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 38th home run, a two-run shot in the sixth inning that gave Baltimore its first lead in a victory over Houston. Davis had gone 10 consecutive games without a long ball until connecting off Lucas Harrell (5-11). Earlier, Davis extended his run of games with a strikeout to 23, the longest in team history.
Red Sox 8, Mariners 2: Rookie Brandon Workman struck out nine while picking up his first major league win, allowing one run over six innings as Boston beat Seattle. Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia homered in the second, giving Workman a 5-1 lead that the young right-hander never relinquished.
Royals 7, Twins 2: Mike Moustakas homered twice and drove in four runs to back another strong start from Ervin Santana (7-6), and surging Kansas City beat Minnesota. Eric Hosmer had three hits and an RBI for the Royals, who have won seven in a row and nine of 11 since the All-Star break.
Blue Jays 5, A's 0: Mark Buehrle allowed five hits over seven innings as Toronto ended Oakland's winning streak at four games.
Rays 5, Diamondbacks 2: Roberto Hernandez (6-11) came within one out of a complete-game shutout, and Yunel Escobar and Ben Zobrist drove in two runs each as Tampa Bay beat Arizona.
Tigers 5, Nationals 1: Alex Avila hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the sixth inning off Stephen Strasburg (5-9) to lead Detroit past Washington. Anibal Sanchez (9-7) was the winner.

SAILING THROUGH ALASKA'S INSIDE PASSAGE - Yes, you can go salmon fishing on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, or live in a bare-bones cabin in the wilds with no electricity or running water, or hike the historic Crow Pass Trail east of Anchorage. I know you can do all these things because I read about them over the last year in this very section.
I decided to do none of them. My first experience with Alaska is the most common one - a cruise. And a cruise in Alaska means sailing along the coast and weaving through the islands - a waterway route called the Inside Passage, with port stops in places including Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, and Icy Strait Point.

Russell Pearce Is Denied Jan Brewer's Endorsement, But Uses Her Name and Pic Anyway
One side of a Pearce mailer received by some LD 25 voters this week...
See also: Russell Pearce Claims David Schweikert's Endorsement, Schweikert Spokesman Denies Claim See also: Russell Pearce Scores David Schweikert's Endorsement, at Long Last See also: Russell Pearce's Rival Bob Worsley Scores Phoenix Chamber Endorsement
There's one thing about recalled, disgraced former state Senate President Russell Pearce that must tick off his fellow tuskers big-time: His penchant for claiming an endorsement, even if he hasn't actually gotten it, yet.
It's a weird habit Pearce has, as was demonstrated in a recent incident involving Congressman David Schweikert, where Pearce claimed his endorsement, when he hadn't bothered to ask Schweikert for it.
Pearce and his slithery aide-de-camp Constantin Querard quickly remedied this situation when I helped it blow up in their faces by asking the congressman for his nod on bended knee. Schweikert took pity on the Mesa muttonhead, and granted Pearce's request.

What about Governor Jan Brewer, who last year was Pearce's political ally (at least on paper), and endorsed Pearce in his disastrous recall election, where newcomer Jerry Lewis walloped the King Kong of East Valley politics by a staggering 12 points?
According to the Arizona Capitol Times' Jeremy Duda, Brewer is not in the giving vein this election cycle, at least not when it comes to Russ, the one-time "de facto governor."
Asked if she would endorse Pearce this year in the Legislative District 25 primary for state Senate, Brewer sniffed, "I'm not inclined to."
Looks like the Guv's taking a pass this year, Russ...
She then added some perfume to that ice-pick to Pearce's kidneys.
"I haven't given it any thought," she stated to Duda, no doubt with arched eyebrow.
B-b-b-b-b-but, Constantin's already sent out fliers to LD 25 voters, featuring, ta-da-ta-dum, Brewer's smiling mug.
The mailers don't specifically claim Brewer's endorsement, but that's no doubt the message CQ meant to convey.
Also, Pearce has Brewer listed on his "past endorsements" page, like that matters.
Who posts past endorsements anyway?
The same guy who lists dead people on his "Friends of Russell" page. After all, why let death come between you and much needed political support from the great beyond.
Pearce's primary rival, nice-guy businessman Bob Worsley, is able to score actual endorsements from living human beings, including Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, the entire Mesa City Council, U.S. Senator Jon Kyl, and on and on.
Tsk, tsk, poor Russ. His support, like his political career, is in the rear view mirror. The people of LD 25 want to move forward, past the politics of hate and bigotry Pearce represents.
That's why, come August 28, erstwhile political titan Russell Pearce will be forever referred to in the past tense.

On Tap Today: The mystery of Irma, McGivern and Moses
It's a "penny dreadful "at its most hilarious. "The Mystery of Irma Vep" melds actors John McGivern, Norman Moses, mummies and monsters all together in a Victorian-style quick-change cross-dress giggle at Next Act Theater thursday night.

"Alan Kulwicki: A Champion's Story," at the Milwaukee County Historical Society, tells about the legacy of one of Milwaukee's best-remembered race car drivers.

On the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria Parker's character will turn into an exhausted homemaker with two kids. In real life, the actress is looking forward to having her own children with husband Tony Parker.
"I can't wait!" Longoria Parker, 33, told PEOPLE Monday after a press conference announcing the 2008 Alma Awards.
Pregnancy rumors began anew after she was photographed off the coast of Italy in a bikini looking slightly fuller than normal in early July. But her rep has said the actress put on weight to play the part of Gabrielle this season.
The 2008 Alma Awards air on ABC on Sept. 12 and highlight the work of Latino actors in film and television. Longoria Parker, the host and executive producer of the show, attended Monday's Alma announcement with actor Cristián de la Fuente.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — City officials say the local school bus system has met all 34 conditions of a strict court order that called for the improvement of bus services, NBC Washington reports.
News that the court supervision was on track to end was reported earlier this year. The supervision was ordered a decade ago as the result of a lawsuit. The district has spent tens of millions of dollars to upgrade buses and improve management, according to NBC Washington.
On Monday, veteran drivers were honored for their years of service that have helped on-time bus arrivals reach 94%.

Foxhound3857 posted...
It was so hyped up, so anticipated by players and fans alike. What went so wrong with the game that everyone hates it?
We were lied to, like Mass Effect 3 level lied to. Randy promised way to many things only to fall flat on all of them. Sure the attention to detail is there but they failed on everything else. I have been trying to find nice things to say about this, and I have wanted to get the game and love it, but I cannot.
It's a shame, I really wanted to pay full price for this game as I loved Borderlands. Sadly I will wait till this is in the bargain bin. I doubt I will even play it now, South park, Tomb Raider and MGR will be dropping very soon and I will be tied up with those games, once I am done the next slew of games will be on the way.
I am pretty disappointed with Randy and the gearbox team right now. I hyped this game up to a lot of people.
Angry Joe isn't liking his experience with this game either. He seems pretty pissed that he vouched for this game before release and for what? A bunch of lies.

Mostly graphics, doesn't look pretty.
The gameplay is there, and the environments are sweet. But this game needed another good half a year of polish.

To be honest, I'm kind of suprised people were expecting anything at all from this game. The previews and trailers mostly dodged actual gameplay, and we knew incredibly few specifics.
Not to mention the game has gone through so many developers over a large number of years. I was expecting 3's and 4's, and that's what we're seeing.
As for 'why' its bad... according to most reviews, it just doesn't compare to the best the gaming industry has to offer, and it doesn't do justice to the Aliens franchise (which hasn't had a worthwhile game since like.... I dunno, one of those late 90's / early 00's AVP games maybe, which are all pretty outdated now).
Plus you can apparently beat entire levels by ignoring enemies (video spoilers I guess):
I dislike my username.

Still, nobody has explained what exactly the major flaws of the game are. What, EXACTLY, is wrong with the game? What EXACTLY are people complaining about in elaborate detail? The gameplay and graphics look fine to me acocrding to a couple of youtube playthroughs.

Skip to comments.French Tax Hell
Posted on 01/15/2013 4:57:41 PM PST by BfloGuy
The press has focused most of its attention on Hollandes desire to raise the income taxas justified by the Orwellian term contribution exceptionelle de solidarité, as if the feeling of solidarity were something that tax inspectors could wring from the human heart. But France already endures a much more harmful tax: the ISF, or LImpôt sur la fortune, a tax on capital assets irrespective of whether they bring the owner any income. It is this tax that induced the French actor, Gérard Depardieu, to announce initially that he was moving to Belgium (before becoming a Russian citizen). In fact, income taxes have always been higher in Belgium than in France; but Belgium has no ISF.
Hollandes predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, imposed a bouclier fiscal, a fiscal shield, according to which no one would have to pay more than 50 percent of his income in taxes, however great his assets. But now the shield is no more, and so it will be theoretically possible, even likely, for many people to pay more in taxes than they receive in income. The ISF tax thus amounts to outright confiscation; whether the Constitutional Council will allow it to stand remains to be seen, but the government has sent a clear message that it regards possession of capital as inherently selfish, antisocial, and in need of moral rectification. This does not mean, of course, that individual members of the government have any interest in lowering themselves to the average or even median standard of living.
(Excerpt) Read more at city-journal.org ...
Oh, for some reason, they're happy to suggest taxes on those morons who earn a lot through their own hard work, but, those who just happen to "be fortunate" don't get demonized. The Kennedys come to mind, don't they?
And Warren Buffett, too, come to think of it.
Don't think it hasn't been thought of. But, instead of a direct tax, we have indirect ones. There's real estate taxes, auto and other property excise taxes, the estate tax, confusing restrictions and penalties on IRA accounts, etc. They serve the same purpose.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ottawa captain Jason Spezza is sitting out the Senators' game at Los Angeles on Wednesday night to rest a groin injury.
The seven-time 20-goal scorer missed most of last season with a back injury, and the Senators are being careful with his long-term health. Spezza was named the eighth captain in franchise history last month, replacing Daniel Alfredsson.
Stephane Da Costa replaced Spezza as the center on the Senators' top line between Milan Michalek and Bobby Ryan.

Blowing My Own Horn Dept.
The new issue of Fly Tyer magazine arrived at the Kumiski home this week. In it was a lovely article about fly fishing in Louisiana, by John Kumiski! It looks goooood. If you read it, your life will be improved by an astonishing 638 percent! As TMQ says, All predictions wrong or your money back.
Sunday it blew like snot. I wrote letters to the manager of the state forest and the commissioner of agriculture. We'll see what they say.
Monday it blew like snot. I don't even remember what I did.
Tuesday it blew like snot and was very cold besides. I spent the day at the car dealership getting the chariot repaired. I didn't like sitting there all day, and I didn't like spending the money. But the van has not run this well in a long time. Now it's just awesome.
I tied quite a few flies while sitting there.
Wednesday it blew like snot. I took Susan's car to the dealer and got it worked on, tying quite a few more flies.
Thursday morning I got up ridiculously early and drove to see Rick. When we got on the water (water temperature 54 degrees) we had a shot in five minutes, a redfish I caught on a black bunny leech. "This is gonna be easy," I thought. Because of the cold wind (blowing like snot) and clouds I got three more shots all day, hooked one more fish. That fly was a black Matuka, tied on a #4 Mustad 34011. A five pound fish bent the hook out and escaped. Won't be using those hooks any more for anything other than making earrings.
Friday we tried again. It was not blowing like snot! There were no clouds! Eureka!
There were no fish at the first spot. At the second I spotted a big snook, which blew out as the fly touched down. We'd see three more with identical results. I pooched a few more shots before finally getting a red about noon on a black redfish worm. We ended up with a half dozen reds and a black drum, all on the same fly. We were off the water about 3 PM, and then the Friday afternoon fight through traffic to get home.
Rick looked great and it was really good to fish with him again. Thanks, Rick, for an awesome couple of days!
And that is the Windy Week Fort Myers Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short- Go Fishing!

It's easy for small to mid-size publishers to get frustrated. We work in an industry that is ever-changing, where talent is elusive and buyers openly admit they'd rather buy from a computer than from a person.
In the spirit of the holidays and the coming new year, let's take a look at the upside of today's digital ecosystem. There are many options now available to help publishers generate incremental revenues and integrate third-party products that enhance their consumers' online experience. Here are five tips to keep your spirits bright:
1. Direct Sales
This may be the hardest of all given the massive shift to programmatic buying, but when done well, direct sales can set you apart from your competitors. This is where a few well trained, motivated and creative sellers can make it rain. Give them design and planning support and watch the numbers grow!
2. Direct Plus
When putting a proposal together for the digital agency or creative shop (and especially for the client directly), always include a programmatic component. Leverage your unique audience data, or knowledge of the category, to add a scale component to the buy. Or, simply do the programmatic work for the client and take a margin.
If your seller has been banging his or her head against the wall for weeks (or months) trying to close that perfect client who won't budge, don't fret. Instead, focus on selling to their trading desk team via the exchange. You can then prove the performance of your inventory and use this new information as leverage to build a better proposition.
4. Calling All Trading Desks
Sell to the trade desks, but don't try to pitch them. The quants hate guys in suits! Send your "smart" sales guy in to talk to them about what's working, how the tech connection could be improved and what kinds of inventory, pricing and performance they need for their clients. Start an ongoing dialogue and partnership. Think about the trade desk as your reverse ad ops team. They work for you — they just don't know it.
5. Plug In and Test
There are many companies out there that offer content or products that will add value to your consumer experience. Most come with revenue, not costs. But be careful not to add ten partner widgets, or your site will light up like a Christmas tree.
Take advantage of all these avenues and don't lose hope. Buyers are doing an about-face on working direct. The mode of buying and selling is changing, but people and smart packaging, once again, are king. Keep selling, make the new methods work in your favor, and all will be right for the publisher again.

World Market® Sea Salt and Vinegar Chips
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about World Market® Sea Salt and Vinegar Chips:
These are the BEST chips with the most vinegar. Other brands (except Jimmy John's) have utterly disappointed me with their lack of flavor. If you like vinegar, you will love these chips. Beware of eating the crumbs at the bottom of the bag … the crumbs have an even stronger vinegar punch! YUMMMMMM (with a pucker).

They are glue guys, uniters. The ones most responsible for ensuring as seamless a transition from the starting unit to the reserves. They are sixth men, and even though they come off the bench, in several cases and for several teams, some of them are even more important, more valuable than some of those who play ahead of them.
Going back to the 1982-1983 season after which the first ever Sixth Man of the Year award was given to the Sixers Bobby Jones, this role - the first, most key substitute on each team - has been recognized as premium in the NBA.
Players like Williams, James Harden, Jason Terry and others play this role as well as anyone in the league. So with that, let's take a look at some of the best of the NBA's sixth men.

Housing Choice Vouchers:
Options Exist to Increase Program Efficiencies

What GAO Found
Several factorsincluding rising rents, declining household incomes, and decisions to expand the number of assisted householdswere key drivers of the approximately 29 percent increase (before inflation) in housing agencies expenditures for the voucher program between 2003 and 2010. Congress and HUD have taken steps to limit cost increases while maintaining assistance for existing program participants. For example, Congress moved away from providing funding to housing agencies based on the number of voucher-assisted households they were authorized to subsidize and instead provided funding based on the generally lower number of voucher-assisted households housing agencies actually subsidized in the prior year. Further, HUD has proposed administrative relief and program flexibility for housing agencies, including streamlining program requirements and reducing subsidies paid.
GAO identified several additional options that, if implemented effectively, could substantially reduce the need for new appropriations, cut costs (expenditures), or increase the number of households assisted.
Reduce housing agencies subsidy reserves. Housing agencies have accumulated approximately $1.8 billion in subsidy reserves (unspent funds). They can hold the funds in reserve or spend them on authorized program expenses in future years. Over time, large sums can accumulate. Although HUD has sought the authority to offset (reduce) its future budget requests by the amount of excess subsidy reserves, it has not provided Congress with complete or consistent information on how much of these reserve funds housing agencies should retain for contingencies. GAO has highlighted the importance of providing clear and consistent information on housing agencies reserves to Congress so it can make informed funding decisions.
Implement administrative reform. HUD officials have noted that certain requirements for administering the voucher program are burdensome and costly and could be streamlined. In addition, the formula HUD uses to pay administrative fees to housing agencies is not tied to current administrative costs or requirements. HUD has an administrative fee study underway, which intends to identify specific reforms to ease administrative burden, increase efficiencies, and suggest ways to align the administrative fee formula with the functions housing agencies perform. Without this information, Congress may not have the information necessary to make fully informed policy and funding decisions related to the voucher program.
Implement rent reform and consolidate voucher administration. Rent reform (for example, reducing subsidies by requiring households to pay more toward rent) and consolidation of program administration under fewer housing agencies could yield substantial cost savingsapproaching $2 billionor allow housing agencies to serve additional households, provided annual savings were reinvested in the program. However, while these options may have some advantages over the current program structure, they would require policymakers to consider some potential trade-offs, including increased rent burdens for low-income households, increased concentration of assisted households in high poverty areas, and more limited local control over voucher programs.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Department of Housing and Urban Developments (HUD) Housing Choice Voucher (voucher) program subsidizes private-market rents for approximately 2 million low-income households. HUD pays a subsidy that generally is equal to the difference between the units rent and 30 percent of the households income. HUD also pays an administrative fee, based on a formula, to more than 2,400 local housing agencies to manage the program. Over time, program expenditures steadily have risen, causing some to questionhow well HUD managed costs and used program resources. This report (1) discusses the key drivers of cost growth in the voucher program and the actions taken to control this growth and (2) analyzes various options to cut costs or create efficiencies. For this report, GAO analyzed HUD data; reviewed budget documents, program laws and regulations, guidance, academic and industry studies, and GAO reports; and interviewed officials from HUD, industry groups, and 93 housing agencies.
What GAO Recommends
GAO identifies options for increasing efficiencies and recommends that HUD (1) determine what level of reserve funding housing agencies should maintain and reduce future budget requests by the amount of excess reserves and (2) consider proposing options for simplifying program administration and changes to the administrative fee formula. HUD did not agree or disagree with the recommendations. While it noted that the draft provided an accurate assessment, it offered some clarifications and responses.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: According to HUD officials, the department helps to manage individual housing agencies' reserve levels with the Two-Year Forecasting tool. However, it is unclear what methods or model HUD uses to determine individual housing agency reserve levels, including what is considered excess and should be returned to the Treasury. Therefore, this recommendation remains open.
Recommendation: To help reduce voucher program costs or better ensure the efficient use of voucher program funds, the HUD Secretary should provide information to Congress on housing agencies' estimated amount of excess subsidy reserves. In taking these steps, the Secretary should determine a level of subsidy reserves housing agencies should retain on an ongoing basis to effectively manage their voucher programs.
Agency Affected: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Consistent with our recommendation, in the President's budgets for fiscal years 2013-2016, HUD proposed a number of statutory changes to streamline administrative requirements for the Housing Choice Voucher program. In addition, in January 2015, HUD published a proposed rule that included a number of program and administrative simplification measures for the Voucher program. Further, in April 2015, HUD released its Voucher program administrative fee study. HUD has indicated that it plans to commence work on developing a proposed rule for a new administrative fee formula based in the findings of the study. On the basis of HUD's actions, we consider this recommendation to be implemented.
Recommendation: Further, the Secretary should consider proposing to Congress options for streamlining and simplifying the administration of the voucher program and making corresponding changes to the administrative fee formula to reflect any new or revised administrative requirements. Such proposals should be informed by results of HUD's ongoing administrative fee study and the experience of the MTW program.
Agency Affected: Department of Housing and Urban Development
Status: Open
Comments: In calendar year 2014, Congress granted HUD offset-reallocation authority for specific circumstances, including shortfall prevention and increasing the national funding proration rate when it is lower than 100 percent of the funding formula. In addition, HUD helps to manage individual housing agencies' reserve levels with the Two-Year Forecasting tool. HUD officials stated that establishing a program-wide reserve level raises concerns because it may discourage housing agencies from maximizing leasing levels, among other things. However, it remains unclear what methods or model HUD uses to determine individual housing agency reserve levels, which likely inform the department's redistribution decisions. Therefore, this recommendation remains open.
Recommendation: To help reduce voucher program costs or better ensure the efficient use of voucher program funds, the HUD Secretary should provide information to Congress on its criteria for how it will redistribute excess reserves among housing agencies so that they can serve more households. In taking these steps, the Secretary should determine a level of subsidy reserves housing agencies should retain on an ongoing basis to effectively manage their voucher programs.
