St. John's-based online-education company Bluedrop Performance Learning reported its financial results late in August for the nine months ending June 30. Revenue for the period was $8.7 million, an increase of 11 per cent over the $7.8 million in the same period the year before.
Gross profit for the period was $4.1 million, up $400,000 from the same period the previous year.
For the three-month period ending June 30, revenue was $3.1 million, down from $3.3 million the year before, with an accompanying slight decline in gross profit in the same period, from $1.7 million to $1.6 million.

Last week, I wrote about Gray Aqua's financial troubles and questions over how much compensation they may have received from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency after the aquaculture company was ordered to destroy salmon stock stricken with infectious salmon anemia.
Company CEO Tim Gray has returned exactly zero of the many messages I've left at the company's New Brunswick office requesting comment, first on a lawsuit brought by one of the company's suppliers and then Gray Aqua's filing for bankruptcy protection.
Friday evening, past my deadline, I received a statement supposedly signed by Gray, although the news release was emailed to me not by anyone at Gray Aqua, but by Cyr Couturier, executive director of the Newfoundland Aquaculture Association.
As this is the only word provided by anyone at the company in the past couple of weeks, I thought I'd put it on the record.
The statement notes the Gray family's 20-year involvement in the Atlantic Canadian aquaculture industry, and acknowledges it is "facing significant challenges," but will work with creditors and their trustee on a restructuring plan.
"Despite our recent challenges, we remain committed to continuing to develop Newfoundland and Labrador's aquaculture industry, which has brought economic prosperity to many coastal communities. Our company employs 50 people who work hard and are passionate about what they do. As we go through this restructuring process, we remain committed to them and to the communities where we farm.
"We're confident we will be able to secure the future of our company, continue to grow quality salmon and provide employment in Newfoundland and Labrador for years to come."
Gray has still not responded to messages left requesting comment.

The distribution began on a Tuesday two weeks ago. It targeted people who don't receive food stamps but needed some help overcoming losses from the tornadoes. I think this was a good plan for helping those in need after the tornadoes had ripped apart their lives.
However, I don't think it was God's plan to allow people to use the system to their own benefit. As long as you lived in the same ZIP code where the damage occurred, you were given a shopping card with a few hundred dollars on it to help with groceries, etc.
Let me be blunt: People used the system when they had no damage or suffering. You wonder why this country continues to backslide? No integrity or honesty.
If you took the food stamp cards that were handed out and don't need the help, turn them back in or give them to someone who really needs them. Abusing the system hurts all of us.

Rockstar and Timbaland drop into our boxes this morning to confirm that music title Beaterator will be released on September 29th in North America, and October 2nd in Europe - on both the PSP and the PSN.
Sam Houser, announcing the publisher's release plans, described the game as a "natural progression" for the game maker.
"Music is incredibly important to us here at Rockstar, and we believe that there are many people out there who share that passion and will be excited about creating music of their own," offered Houser.
"I've worked closely with Rockstar Games to make something completely unique. Beaterator is like taking my music studio and turning it into a suite of tools anyone can use. We can't wait to hear the beats people make and share with the world."

CORNWALL, Ontario - Yuk Yuk's and Bar Q are ready for round two.
© Submitted photo
Bar Q.
Another night of fine dining and laughs hosted by Cornwall comic Mark Vincent is taking place on Tuesday, July 22.
Tickets are $55, which includes meal, show, taxes and gratuities.
"Yuk Yuk's launching pad features the stars of tomorrow before they break out," said Vincent.
Since the event is the same week as Rib Fest, a three-course meal featuring ribs done the 'Bar Q way' will be served.
Montreal comic Jacy Lafontaine, who was born and raised in Cornwall, will be taking the stage.
"I don't remember there being much of a comedy scene when I was growing up in Cornwall, so it really is amazing to be performing and seeing a hard worker like Mark trying to build a strong comedy scene and be a part of it," said Lafontaine.
The show's feature act is Adrian Cronk of Ottawa, who was the winner in last year's Yuk Yuk's summer competition, winner of Comedy Idol and featured on CBC Radio.
Tickets are for sale at Bar Q (105 Pitt Street) and reservations can be made at (613) 935-3337.

John Kerry - Tapdancing into Political Oblivion (spokeswoman)
...Kerry defended his Senate vote in favor of the Iraq
resolution, however, saying it was the right vote, "based on the
information that we were given."
He said he voted for it with the expectation that the United
States would build an international coalition and exhaust other
remedies before attacking. He said he was not voting to give Mr.
Bush permission "to make an end run around the United Nations."
...Christine Iverson, spokeswoman for the Republican National
Committee, said Mr. Kerry should be more direct on the issue.
"If Senator Kerry regrets his vote to remove Saddam Hussein, he
should just say so. If Senator Kerry would change his vote to
remove Saddam Hussein, he should just say so. If Senator Kerry
is embarassed by his vote because it's unpopular with the
antiwar base of his party, he should just say so," she said.
Kerry is making a total ass of himself on this. His statement
that his vote was OK "based on the information that we were
given" is a disgrace. A US Senator who is DOING THE JOB of a US
Senator does NOT sit back and lap up what this administration or
any other administration is providing.
His claim that his vote was further based on the expectation
that Bush would build an international coalition ignores recent
history. His irritation over the UN being "sidestepped" is an
attempt to confer legitimacy on a corrupt and thoroughly
discredited institution.
Democrats, Howard Dean may drag you into political hell, but
ding dongs like Kerry will KEEP you there. This guy has
forfeited any claim to be the leader of your party. He can park
his ass next to Ted Kennedy in the Senate and stay there!
I have changed my mind on Kerry. He will be carved up over this
madness. What I overlooked was Kerry's baggage from his many
years in the Senate. Once again he's trying to go in two
directions simultaneously and once again he's shredding his
credibility in the process. The Iraq vote was HUGE and less
than a year later he's trying to blame his vote on Bush!? Ha!
The voters aren't going to think much of Kerry's decision-making
capabilities, that's for sure: Bush fooled me, Bush tricked me,
Bush let me down, Bush this and Bush that. Then the voters are
supposed to believe that Kerry won't be "fooled" by foreign
leaders?! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Howard Dean cracks the whip. He earned it, so Democrats should
run with him. Dean might drag the party into political hell,
but weasels like Kerry will KEEP the party there. Kerry is a
total, utter, and absolute disgrace to the party of Truman, JFK,
and "Scoop" Jackson. Can you imagine what the ghosts of Truman
and JFK would say to Kerry if they appeared before him? Truman
would rip him a new one and JFK would ridicule him into
numbness. Today's Democrats should do the same.

The options for music on Sunday, Nov. 17, include a late-morning show at Preservation Hall well before the Saints game, and a jazz big band and avant-garde cellist after the game.
St. Cecilia's Asylum Chorus, Preservation Hall, 11 a.m.
Bandleader Lucas Davenport assembled this collective of mostly female voices – regular members include Amy Trail, Ashley Shabankareh, Hannah Krieger-Benson and Tim Robertson – to sing spiritualized secular music. Past gigs have covered everything from Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" to Gram Parsons' "Hickory Wind" to the gospel standards "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and "I'll Fly Away." Late-morning shows at Preservation Hall are a good time/place to hear this Chorus.

Eve Samples: FPL's Martin solar energy center still struggling to meet its targets
It was a green-energy experiment on a grand scale.
Florida Power & Light Co. spent $398 million to build 51 linear miles of trough-shaped mirrors on a field west of Indiantown ? betting the solar-thermal contraptions would prove an efficient way to help fuel an existing natural gas plant on the site.
But two years after it opened, the 75 megawatt Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center is still struggling to meet its energy-production targets.
The hybrid solar-thermal plant's first full year of operation, 2011, was marred by the release of about 45,000 gallons of "heat transfer fluid," a hazardous chemical that prompted an around-the-clock cleanup that lasted weeks.
Instead of generating the hoped-for 155,000 megawatt hours of power that year, the plant generated 30,000.
Still, FPL executives put on their happy faces going into 2012.
They said they hoped to meet their original power-generating target ? and while the plant did much better than its first year, it once again missed the mark.
The Martin solar plant generated about 89,000 megawatt hours of power last year, according to records filed with the state's Public Service Commission. That's 42 percent less than what was projected when the plant got approval.
Also discouraging: the heat transfer fluid, called Dowtherm A, posed problems again in 2012.
FPL reported two additional, smaller spills of the chemical to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (100 gallons in January 2012 and 50 gallons in September). More than a thousand tons of soil were hauled off the property to clean the mess.
The state has since signed off on the cleanup efforts ? but the accidents don't help the plant's image.
I toured the plant Friday, a cloudless day that was picture-perfect for solar power. There was no trace of the earlier accidents, but the FPL executive who accompanied us conceded the plant has faced its hurdles.
"We recognize that it was a demo project. We realized at that time it was an opportunity to test technology," said Buck Martinez, senior director of development for FPL, referring to the company's decision to build the hybrid plant in the first place.
He said FPL remains proud of its performance, even if it hasn't been perfect.
"Last year we did three times better," Martinez said, referring to power production. "This year we're going to improve again."
A perpetual challenge at the plant ? which was the first of its kind in the world ? is synchronizing the existing natural-gas operation with the 75 megawatt solar-thermal project that was grafted onto it.
That is not a factor at FPL's two other solar plants, in DeSoto and Brevard counties, because they use photovoltaic panels instead of solar-thermal technology. Those plants have performed better.
FPL built all three plants after the state Legislature approved a law enabling such projects in 2008. The idea was to empower utilities to build a limited number of green energy projects ? even though they are not the cheapest source of power.
It was a noble idea, but the difficulties at the Martin plant show it was not without risk.
The 2011 chemical accident at the Martin solar plant cost about $2.2 million to clean up (after an insurance settlement). That amounts to about 2 cents per customer, said company spokesman Richard Gibbs.
The company also built a $3 million heat transfer fluid containment system at the Martin plant to prevent future accidents.
Of course, no source of power generation is immune to accidents or disruptions.
For solar, weather is an ever-present variable.
Cloud cover and other factors make it difficult to project power generation, said J.R. Kelly of the state's Office of Public Counsel, which advocates for Florida utility customers.
"That is the concern that a lot of people have with solar ? reliability, and how much can you depend on it when all of the sudden you might get five rain days in a row? You've got to have the back up," Kelly said.
For that reason, he doesn't think Florida ever will rely solely on solar power.
Of course, we're light years away from that.
Some 78 percent of FPL's power is generated by natural gas.
About 16 percent is from nuclear.
Coal hovers around 5 percent.
Oil is 0.5 percent.
At the very bottom of the fuel list is solar, which generates a paltry 0.2 percent of the utility's power. Even if the Martin plant was running at capacity, that number would remain negligible.
Martinez said FPL remains interested in building more solar, should the state Legislature allow it.
If and when that happens, odds are good that a new plant would look more like the ones in DeSoto and Brevard counties than the experiment we've witnessed in Martin.

Four things I think about the wrestling season
1. Two years after losing the state title to Wadsworth, St. Edward is aligned for a run at the mythical national championship. It is ranked No. 2 behind Blair (N.J.) Academy in two national polls. Blair beat St. Edward at the recent Ironman Tournament. The Eagles will need a good showing at The Clash on Dec. 30 in Rochester, Minn., where it will face defending national champ Apple Valley (Minn.) among other powers. The national champion could be determined Jan. 14 when St. Edward travels to Blair for a dual meet.
2. The National Federation of State High School Associations dropped the ball with the recent realignment of weight classes, taking away a middle weight and adding an upper weight at a time when most high schools struggle to lure big men to the mat. Coaches are howling.
3. Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy is too big for its own good. The Royals have finished second at the past two Division III state tournaments. They appeared poised to finally win it until they were moved up to Division II, where St. Paris Graham reigns. Oh well, there's always second place -- again.
4. Is this the last season the state tournament team champion matters? In 2012-13, the Ohio High School Athletic Association takes over and expands the state dual meet tournament to crown a true team champion, not just a team with the best three to five stars. It is a welcome shot in the arm for a declining sport.
Wrestlers to watch
Domenic Abounader, St. Edward: Junior 182-pounder was the Division I 160-pound state champ and finished 30-1 last season. Placed third at Cadet nationals in Fargo, N.D.
Warren Ashton, Mentor: It has been 30 years since Mentor produced a state champion (heavyweight Larry Chesbrough, 1982), and senior Ashton (145/152 pounds) is a contender. He placed third last year, losing a one-point semifinal to eventual 145-pound champ Chase DeLande.
Aaron Assad, Brecksville: Junior transfer from Chanel placed second last year and third as a freshman in Div. III. Placed sixth at the recent Ironman Tournament at 113 pounds.

Zane Zeman, Avon: Div. II 145-pound runner-up was 43-2. Was the Most Valuable Wrestler at the recent Avon Lake Knights of Columbus Invitational.
Teams to watch
Barberton: A team that got better last season and that should continue with an experienced lineup that includes two-time state qualifier Sonny Shump (120) and 2010 qualifier Cobey Fehr (126).
Beachwood: Sam Gross (113) and Ryan Harris (138) were state place-winners. Bison are looking to contend in Division III. Aaron Friedman (120) and David Shapiro (160) won two matches at district. Twinsburg transfer Grant Blumenthal (152) placed sixth at the Mentor Div. I district.

Madison: Nick Montgomery (132) is a two-time state placer and Soren Iverson (152) and Josh Ransom (220) were state qualifiers.
Maple Heights: Shorter football season this year should help a team that was invited to the state duals. Richard Robertson (160) and Almonte Patrick (220) are state placers. Others to watch include Deshon Johnson (132), Eric Brown (145), Devin Williams-Revels (195) and Aaron Pipkins (285).
Mentor: Returning state placer Warren Ashton (145/152) and qualifiers Jordan Victor (132) and Dillon Ashton (138/145) should add to Mentor's all-time total of 40 state placers.

Perry: State dual meet tournament invitee returns state qualifier Anthony Miller (220) and five other wrestlers who just missed state berths. Already defeated Madison and won the Riverside Rumble.
St. Edward: Eagles return all 14 starters, including 10 state qualifiers from a team that scored 187 points and won its 26th state title. This could be one of their finest teams. Dean Heil, Domenic Abounader and Mark Martin were state champs, and Edgar Bright, Ty Walz and Greg Kuhar were runners-up. Nick Barber, James Suvak, Markus Scheidel and Jacob Davis also placed.
St. Vincent-St. Mary: Solon Comet Classic champs feature four state qualifiers and state champ Michael Rix (120) is the lone senior.
Solon: Brandon Thompson (113) and Anthony Collica (145) won state titles as sophomores last season. Anthony Restifo (138) was a district placer. Justin Kresevic (160) missed last season with a knee injury and returned to win the season-opening Comet Classic. Heavyweight Nate Hoff, a state placer last year, is not wrestling.
Twinsburg: State champ Michael Baker (182) and two-time placer Michael Labry (132/138) are back, along with standouts Mitch Mickovic (132/138), Tyrone McGuinea (152) and Myles Campbell (195).

Mark Clements, 49, of Hopewell was charged with three counts of harassment after sending the messages anonymously on April 25 and 26, Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said in a statement.
The prosecutor's office began the investigation shortly after the three employees of the prosecutor's office reported receiving the messages on their cell phones, and Clements was suspended with pay late last month, said Jim O'Neill, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office.
However, Clements' status changed today, when he was suspended without pay after criminal charges were filed, Kaplan said.
"A preliminary investigation determined that the messages constituted harassment, a petty disorderly persons offense," Kaplan said in the statement.
A disorderly persons offense carries a maximum penalty of six month in prison and a $500 fine upon conviction.
No details about the text messages or the circumstances under which they were sent are being released, O'Neill said.
Clements is to appear June 2 before Superior Court Judge Frederick DeVesa in New Brunswick in response to the complaint.
Clements, who received an annual salary of $113,738 according to state records, has worked for the prosecutor's office since Nov. 23, 1992, and was promoted to sergeant on Aug. 6, 2007.
Prior to his arrival at the prosecutor's office, Clements worked for the Old Bridge Police Department and the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.
A message left with Clements' attorney, James Addis in Hackensack, was not immediately returned.
Attempts to reach Clements were unsuccessful today.

Christopher Thomas Upp
U.S. Army / Silver Star
Wounded and with his platoon leader dead, he and his men overcame a Taliban ambush
The locals had not shown up for work at Vehicle Patrol Base Seray on the morning of July 31, 2007, and Staff Sgt. Christopher Upp was concerned. Combined with intelligence reports of an imminent Taliban attack, the villagers' absence left him uneasy.
The day had been too quiet in the Chowkay Valley, about 12 kilometers from the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. There had not been the usual morning or afternoon attack. Now the sun was setting and the men of the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Infantry Regiment were hunkering down for a very long night.
Then suddenly — and violently — a 107mm rocket interrupted the banter of a card game.
"Immediately after that we heard machine-gun fire going off all around us," Upp recalled.
He first thought of the 120mm mortar, about 75 yards away. Upp knew that if he could get his five men into the mortar pit, they stood a good chance of repelling the enemy.
"It was the main weapon that the Taliban were scared of . . . the only thing that can get them when they hide behind rocks," Upp said.
Tracer fire came from all directions as the soldiers dashed for the mortar pit. A rocket-propelled grenade exploded on higher ground, sending a wave of flesh-tearing shrapnel over their heads. As Upp and his soldiers dived into the pit, enemy machine gunners peppered the protective sandbags and rock wall with fire.
Upp remembered looking for 1st Lt. Benjamin Hall. Usually, the platoon leader was in the pit with him, barking orders on where to fire. But Hall never appeared.
"I told the men to lay low, don't show your faces and hand me rounds," Upp said.
He began firing mortars as fast as the tube could be loaded.
Several minutes into the firefight, he heard the unmistakable "thump" of a 107mm rocket being launched. Upp yelled for his men to take cover but failed to take his own advice.
The concussion knocked him to the ground. As he fell, a dollar bill-sized piece of shrapnel sliced his right arm, leaving a wide, bloody gash. The blast also had knocked him out, but another soldier shook him awake.
Looking around, Upp realized his bleeding arm was the least of his unit's problems: The support legs and aiming device for the 120mm mortar were disabled. Now the only way to fire the weapon was to hoist the mortar tube onto his shoulders and "point and fire."
That's what he did, launching more than 75 rounds at the enemy.
"People in the pit were yelling, 'We're taking fire from here, here, here, here.' We were probably taking fire from four or five different locations, with 25 to 30 enemy fighters firing," Upp said, noting that more than 12 RPGs and more than six 107mm rockets were fired in their direction.
No others in the mortar pit with Upp were injured during the evening battle. But after the fighting ended, Hall was found nearby. He apparently had been mortally wounded during the first rocket attack.
"He wasn't more than 25 feet from us the whole time, behind a rock," says Upp.
He credits his unit's survival to everyone "doing their jobs and not cowering away. …
"What I did was probably stupid in a lot of people's eyes. I don't know why I did it; it just happened that way."
Upp doesn't like being labeled a hero. Hall is the true hero, he says.
"He was a very good officer. I don't want this to be just about me. I want it to be about everybody."

Miss Anne (Issa Russell), Sherlock Holmes (Morris Hodder) and Dr. Watson (Timothy Foss) appear in Shakespeare by the Sea's production of Chris Hibb's short play "The Curious Case of the Colony," 8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays at the Newman Wine Vaults on Water street until Aug. 18. — Submitted photo
For the past two years, one of the most charmingly off-beat of the Shakespeare by the Sea offerings has been Chris Hibbs's playlet that brings to St. John's in the 1890's Conan Doyle's brilliant but eccentric, pipe-smoking, deer-stalker hatted, cerebral and saturnine Baker Street private detective, Sherlock Holmes (reincarnated again by Morris Hodder), accompanied by his slower-witted companion, confidant, and amanuensis, long-suffering Dr. John Watson (Timothy Foss reprising the role).
The antagonist is a vibrant and sultry, dark-eyed and raven-haired young woman who is suspected of murdering her fiancé, played by newcomer to the show but by no means newcomer to performance, Issa Russell, who is poised and focused throughout.
The threesome interact with one another crisply and confidently, while Holmes deduces, explains and expatiates on the facts of the case (for the benefit of Watson, of Miss Anne, and of us) — aided by the inspiration of his ever-present pipe and tobacco.
Mounted in a lamp-lit wine cellar in the Newman Wine Vaults, with convincing period costume, this is theatre at close quarters, as the characters stride back and forth the length of the vault, with audience seated along the walls on either side. Script and production are high-spirited, featuring dialogue and character that are larger and more colourful than life. The show is fun to watch, the vault experience distinctive.
Directed for the second time around by Wendi Smallwood, "The Curious Case in the Colony" plays on Saturdays and Sundays until August 18, starting at 8 p.m. and running for 50 minutes, with no intermission.
The opening-night production was fully subscribed and the show was much in demand last year. Since the Newman Vaults playing space accommodates only 40 spectators, you would be well advised to get your tickets early, if you are not to join a line-up and perhaps be disappointed.

JACKSON The Aiken County Sheriffs Office is investigating an incident that led to the arrest of a 25-year-old New Ellenton man at Jackson Boat Landing early on Sunday morning.
According to six victims, the subject assaulted them after quickly flashing a badge and telling them he was Officer Bradshaw of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
The victims five males and one female said the subject searched all of them and tried to put handcuffs on them. The subject also searched a vehicle belonging to one of the victims.
In addition, the responding officers incident report stated that the subject placed one of the male victims in an arm lock and then put the victim into a choke hold. The subject also hit the victim in the face with an elbow, used a knife to cut one of the victims front pants pockets and placed a foot on the victims neck after putting the victim on the ground.
The subject then told another male victim not to be nervous and then threw him onto the dock, according to the incident report.
The victims said the subject eventually ordered them to leave the area.
The father of three juveniles who were among the subjects victims notified the Sheriffs Office about what had happened. The responding officer subsequently found the subject at the dock. The officers report stated that the man smelled of alcohol and appeared to be intoxicated.
The subject denied brandishing the badge, handcuffs and knife. He also said he didnt identify himself as an officer with the Department of Natural Resources. The victim told the officer that he had approached the victims and yelled at them for being too loud.
The responding officer searched the subject and located a knife. The officer also found a pair of handcuffs and a security officers badge in the mans vehicle prior to taking him into custody.

Hi everyone. Let me apologize for not posting here in the last few days. My best friend's house burned up on Tuesday. No one was harmed. Thank God. It was a 2 family house in Easthampton. You probably read about it. His downstairs tenants (owners of Easthampton's Pick Your Flick) are also our very dear friends and they've been staying with us. My best friend, who owns the place, has been put up by the Red Cross. It's been 48 hours of heartache, depression, fear and lugging around charred objects. I don't really want to talk to much about it in this medium. But you are welcome to email me with any well wishings for them. I'll gladly pass them along. There's already been talk of a benefit show. Eerily, my friends didn't have renter's insurance. Bringing up the horrible event last year that involved School For The Dead/Lo Fine/Sitting Next To Brian musician extrodinare Brian Marchese. I'm hoping to have something put together in my mind soon enough. As soon as I have a moment to think about something other than my friend's wellbeing.
On a much lighter tone, I did have an idea. I think I'm going to do random gear reviews for the musicians that grace my posts with their eyes. In fact, I'll do my first in the next couple of days. The Maxon OD9Pro+ overdrive foot pedal. That's it down there.
Again, I apologize for my absence. When the cloud settles I'll be back much more often.
If I have one piece of advice from this whole thing it would be this. I know. It's gonna sound a bit like Oprah but I stand by it nonetheless. Tell the people you love how much they mean to you. Everyday.

(90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc): Bright ruby. Dark cherry, blackcurrant and violet on the perfumed nose and palate. Nicely rich and dense, displaying a lovely sugar/acid balance. This struck me as having gentler tannins than some recent overextracted wines from this estate.

INTRODUCTION Photosynthesis is a sensitive process that responds in different ways depending on the environment and its changes. (Vargas and Cordero 2012). Recent studies have shown that there are many factors that affect the photosynthetic rate of plants. One study showed that the photosynthetic rate of tropical forest trees in the Northern Lowlands of Costa Rica is affected when the temperature increases. (Vargas and Cordero 2012). Using studies like the one mention above as a reference helped this experiment to formulate a hypothesis: The increase of temperature by 10C above room temperature (22C) will increase the photosynthetic rate, compare to the value at room temperature of the specie Camboba.
MATERIALS AND METHODS The materials used in the experiment three groups of materials. First the Manometric system which included three stoppers, 3 syringes, three pipettes, one tank and a source of light. Second, the materials that were used to make the Manometric system work: Three glass tubes, the plant material, which in this case was the specie cabomba, the conditioned or pond water, one plastic Pasteur pipette and the indicator (blue water). Finally additional materials like the test tube rack which was used to hold the glass tubes. The way the experiment was performed included different steps: The first step in this experiment was to weigh out 3 to 4g of the plant that is going to be studied. Was important to zero the balance before weighing the plant. Two samples of the plants were needed, one for each experimental tube. After the plant was weighted, it was placed into the experimental tubes. Each tube was filled with pond water. The experiment needed to have a control sample to compare with the experimental tubes. The third tube was filled with pond water without adding the organism. The next step was to set up the Manometric system. Each tube stopped with a stopper. On one side of the stopper the syringe was introduced, and in the other side the pipette. Before plugging in the pipette, a small drop (3mm to 5mm) of blue water was added to the

SALAMANCA - An American classic will make its debut at the newly renovated Ray Evans Seneca Theater next month.
The theater's first production since undergoing a series of upgrades will be "West Side Story," with a run from July 17-20.
"West Side Story" is a modernized American adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," which has been staged in 1960s New York City, and features music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. According to Sally Marsh, who is assisting with tickets and advertising for the show, the Ray Evans Seneca Theater's adaptation is taking an even more contemporary approach to the musical.

"We've updated it to make more modern than the original; it's sort of a 2014 version," she said. "The cast includes kids and adults from all over the place. People from Olean, Jamestown, Bradford and Springville are all involved. The kids are awesome, and I'm really impressed with their talent."
Next month's production will be the first musical to be staged at the theater in four years, Marsh said. During this time period, she said the theater made upgrades and renovations to its seats, as well as its lighting and sound systems. In the interim, the theater was used primarily for movie screenings hosted by the Chamber of Commerce.
"That's what's so great about getting the theater back," she said. "This is the first production we've done since the renovation, and we're kind of excited about it. After getting the seats fixed, and the lights and sound updated, getting the theater open to the public again has been a goal of the board."
Rehearsals for the production are currently being held at the theater from 6-9 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The presentation times will be at 7:30 p.m. from July 17-20, with 2 p.m. matinee performances being held on July 19 and July 20.
Tickets are $15, and can be purchased in advance from the Salamanca Public Library and Togi's Restaurant in Bradford, Pa. The Ray Evans Seneca Theater production of "West Side Story" is being directed by Todd Wagner, and choreography is being written and taught by Meaghan Randall.
A production of "RENT," which will include a majority of the same cast, has also been announced by the theater to run from Aug. 14-17.

3 thoughts on "Sizing Up This Winter So Far"
Don't worry-it's coming……
Don't know about Gordo, but my 17 year old dog really hates high snow, and despite the fact that we shovel a "pee path" in the back yard has a bad habit of going out and not doing his business. which means he then tries to find a place inside to do it, which is a problem….
I LOVE that he wears a hat…..all dogs should wear all the hats…ALL OF THE TIME!

text: In 1890, two of America's leading legal minds, Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren, published an article called "The Right to Privacy" in the Harvard Law Review. Scandalized by the rise of a gossip-mongering press that intruded on the lives of prominent citizens, they called upon the courts to recognize a "right to privacy." Their fear was that new technological and commercial innovations — in this case photography and the mass-circulation gossip rag — would cause the rich and famous untold mental pain and distress. As Stewart Baker observes in his provocative book Skating on Stilts, the substance of Brandeis and Warren's argument now seems rather quaint, as a gossipy news media has become a central part of our public life. In Baker's telling, "the right to privacy was born as a reactionary defense of the status quo." And even now, he argues, privacy campaigners often overreact against new technologies they fear but do not understand.

BEDFORD, Ohio — Ask St. Peter Chanel guard Tommie Williams about playing defense and watch his eyes sparkle as if implanted with LEDs.
"I look forward to checking one of the best ball handlers on the other team and get as many steals as possible to help my team," said Williams, a 5-6 senior. "I try to look where he's looking. I'm fast and I can recover pretty quickly, too."
Williams spearheaded a defense that forced six turnovers in the opening minutes as the Firebirds raced to a double-digit lead and went on to beat visiting Cleveland Central Catholic, 64-56, on Friday.
Chanel (14-1, 7-1 North Coast League) entered the weekend leading the NCL White Division by two games ahead of Villa Angela-St. Joseph and Central Catholic, which fell to 6-8, 5-4.
Williams and senior post Kyree Brewer each scored 18 points and were a combined 15-of-20 at the line. Brewer made six free throws in the first three minutes as Chanel surged to a 14-6 lead, six of the points coming off turnovers.
Chanel tweaked its normal full-court press and fell back quickly to take away Central Catholic's dribble-drives. Brewer, 6-2 junior Dan Bailey and promising 6-3 sophomore Ishmael Hargrove frequently provided a steady last line of defense.
"They didn't take too many jump shots when we first played them, so we thought if we take away their drives, we'd be successful," Williams said.
Chanel's lead stayed at double figures much of the night until it began to sputter and lose its legs late in the game.
Central Catholic 6-6 senior Darrian Bruster contributed five points in an 11-6 run to start the fourth quarter, which sliced Chanel's lead to 56-49 with 3:24 to play.
Brewer scored on a put-back, as did Ironmen junior Greg Snyder moments later.
Central Catholic forced a turnover, but missed a 3-pointer that would have cut the lead to four with 2:25 left.
Chanel opened the door again by missing seven straight free throws in the final minute while clinging to a 62-56 lead.
The Ironmen missed two open 3-pointers, and with 18 seconds left, Chanel senior guard Damon Jones forced a decisive turnover, Central Catholic's 20th of the game.
Jones also played a pivotal role on offense, scoring 13 points.
Central Catholic coach Johnathan Harris said it came down to his sophomore guards against Chanel's veteran backcourt.
"Their senior guards, their leadership on the floor, you can't duplicate," Harris said. "That's why they're winning the games they are. Those guys have been through some battles and hopefully, at some point, our guys will be like that."
Sophomore guard Chelvonte Montgomery led CCC with 13 points and Bruster scored 12.

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way out of this
Her diary, it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said,
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
Is there any just cause for feeling like this
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head,
I know I was wrong

KALAMAZOO, MI – Pfizer Inc. is now delivering its erectile dysfunction Viagra tablets to patients who order it online to fight counterfeit product sales.
The company is offering men with erectile dysfunction an opportunity to purchase Viagra online with a valid prescription from a trusted source. It is powered by CVS/pharmacy and accessible through Viagra.com.
In 2011, the company evaluated the top 22 websites results for the search phrase "buy Viagra" and conducted chemical analysis of the pills advertised from the outlets. The study found that about 80 percent of the online sales were counterfeit pills containing the active ingredient, sildenafil citrate. However, the fake medication contained only 30 percent to 50 percent of the amount of active ingredient advertised, according to Pfizer.
The launch of online sales come as result of Pfizer monitoring web traffic, finding nearly 24 million searches for Viagra online each year, and fake pharmacy websites who lure consumers.
"We have seen counterfeit medicines manufactured in filthy and deplorable conditions, yet some people do not realize the risks that this poses to their health and safety, our top priority," said Matthew Bassiur, vice president, Pfizer Global Security, in a company statement. "Counterfeit medicines often contain the wrong or incorrect levels of active ingredient, as well as potentially dangerous contaminants. Samples of counterfeit Viagra tested by our labs have contained pesticides, wallboard, commercial paint and printer ink. These findings motivate us to continue our aggressive global efforts to stop those who prey on unsuspecting patients."
With Viagra home delivery, a patient can submit or refill a Viagra prescription, estimate their co-pay in real-time, and check on the status of their order, from home. Free standard shipping is available in the United States and CVS/pharmacy is responsible for prescription authentication.
Pfizer Inc. is one of Kalamazoo's largest employers.Contact Ursula Zerilli at email@example.com or 269-254-5295. Follow her on twitter.

State Farm Fire and Casualty Co. must pay $750,000 in damages, plus $2.9 million in attorney's fees and expenses, for defrauding the U.S. government on a Hurricane Katrina homeowner's insurance claim, a federal judge in Mississippi has determined, according to the Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald.
However, U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of Mississippi Sul Ozerden also dismissed the broader case former insurance adjusters and whistle-blowers Kerri and Cori Rigsby had hoped to pursue. The Ocean Springs sisters allege State Farm's fraud against the National Flood Insurance Program was widespread along the Coast after Katrina.

The battle is still raging in many states to raise state revenue via anti-affiliate legislation that could ultimately cost affiliates lost income and possibly even their businesses. New York affiliates know better than anyone how devastating the advertising tax can be as many of them have already had to deal with the aftermath of this unfortunate situation.
As more and more states consider adding the advertising tax, they look to New York. They look at the amount of money the increased sales tax is bringing in. What they DON'T look at, because no one has been able to quantify it, is the other half of the story – the income loss of these affiliate small businesses. This lost income means lower income tax paid to the state. But again, we don't know what those numbers are. We data to help us fight the legislation efforts in other states.
Affiliate Summit is conducting a New York Advertising Tax Impact Survey. If you are a New York affiliate, please take the survey. See complete details at the Affiliate Summit blog.

Evolution and Systematics
The only classification problem with modern monoplacophorans is the discussion around using Monoplacophora Odhner, 1940 vs. Tryblidiida. Monoplacophora sl. as defined in Runnegar & Jell (1976) would include three orders among which Tryblidiida. Problems arise from the ambiguous position of some paleozoic fossil taxa which could be monoplacophorans or gastropods, or (worse) stem-group gastropods derived from monoplacophorans, thus making Monoplacophora paraphyletic. Preference for the name Tryblidiida follows Waller's (1998) conclusion that these are the sister-group to all other Conchifera, thus escaping being paraphyletic. Giribet et al. (2006: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 103, 7723-7728) claimed that the monoplacophoran Laevipilina is recovered within a branch containing polyplacophoran taxa in an analysis including several nuclear and mitochondrial sequences. As mentioned above, this result based on a very small specimen is ignored in the classification draft until further confirmed.

Navy Band finds warm holiday welcome
The teenagers were sprawled out on the banisters separating the upper walkway and floor for Monday night's concert. As with most free shows, seating choices were limited.
But it wasn't rock, hip-hop or electroclash that drew the high-schoolers. It was time-honored classics: big band music, brass choir, clarinet quartet and woodwind ensemble by Silverdale-based Navy Band Northwest.
Christopher Bourgeois, a French horn player for the band, was happy that the "packed house" at Oak Harbor High School's Parker Hall included young people.
"It's great to see so many high school students. That's part of playing here, is getting younger people involved," Bourgeois said.
Earlier that day, the Navy musicians had met with the high school band for one-on-one clinics to give tips and mini-lessons.
"They were great. I worked with three French horn players," Bourgeois said.
Navy Band Northwest is one of 14 official Navy bands in the U.S., Italy and Japan. With a 34 member collection, they perform 400 shows a year in 12 states.
Their visit to Oak Harbor began the first of a series of free public concerts that will continue onto the winter holiday season.
Named "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," Monday's show included mostly Christmas music such as "Sleigh Ride," "O Holy Night," and "Merry Christmas Baby."
The high school ROTC members, who acted as chaperones, handed out sing-a-long lyrics for "Silent Night" and "Deck the Halls." Patrick K. Sweeton conducted.
"I've seen the band three or four times and they're always different for every occasion," audience member Jackson Collins said. "Last year, they put on skits to go along with their songs."
Bourgeois said the band typically plays during ceremonies at the Navy base, but they'd like to branch out to do more public performances.
"It's good to show people that we do a lot more than ceremonies. We have a huge variety of talent," Bourgeois said.
For their final song, the band played "Russian Christmas Music," a four-section movement by Alfred Reed. The opening section, "Carol of the Little Russian Children," introduced a slow, quiet opening, which grew more frenzied in the second and third section, and finally a crescendo in the percussion brought the rest of the band in for a sonorous finale.
While all generations can appreciate the music of the holidays, there were also patriotic reasons given for attending the concert.
"I come out to show my support for the military, the community and the band," audience member Marie Minor said. "It's very nice that they go out of their way to do this, and it's good to show them that we appreciate it."

Senior center to install new kitchen, close for three weeks
The Vashon Senior Center will close for three weeks this month for the installation of a new commercial kitchen.
The center on Bank Road will be closed Monday, May 12, through Friday, May 30.
The senior center has been raising funds in recent months to install the new kitchen, which has aging equipment and doesn't meet current fire codes.
According to Executive Director Ava Apple, the senior center, which serves regular meals, hasn't been able to cook in the kitchen since 2007.
"It's important that we be able to be able to cook on-site again and provide nutritious meals to island seniors," she said.
Further detailing just how old the current kitchen and its appliances are, Apple added that the senior center was built 30 years ago, and the equipment that is currently the kitchen was used even then.
"I'm pretty sure it's a Smithsonian stove," she said with a laugh.
Apple explained that it has been her goal to change that since she became director two years ago.
The effort to raise money for the kitchen began last year with the knitter's group fundraiser Stitchin' for a Kitchen, which raised an impressive $9,000. Since then the center has received a substantial grant from Granny's Attic, a donation from the South End Community Club, a grant from King County as well as miscellaneous private donations to total $27,000. With a project budget of $37,500, the center is hoping to raise the rest of the funds during GiveBig, a special fundraising day put on by the Seattle Foundation Tuesday after press deadline, and the senior center's Chicken Plunge fundraiser on Saturday, May 17.

A judge in New Brunswick entered a not guilty plea today for an East Brunswick teacher who has been charged with improperly touching a student at the Hammarskjold Middle School.
Superior Court Judge Bradley Ferencz entered the plea for Yinfu Sun, 56, of Highland Park, during Park's first court appearance after his arrest Tuesday for sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Sun, who has been in the Middlesex County jail since his arrest, was not represented by an attorney during the hearing, although he told the judge he had hired one. Bradley said his staff called the attorney to let him know about today's court proceedings, but no one showed up. Neither Sun nor the judge mentioned the name of the attorney during the hearing.
Ferencz maintained Sun's bail at $50,000, but placed several conditions should he post the amount and be released. The judge said Sun is to have no contact with children 16 and under and must have only supervised contact with his own son and daughter, both of whom are very young. Sun must also surrender his passport, the judge said.
Authorities said an investigation determined Sun had improper contact with the student at Hammarskjold Middle School on three occasions during the past month. Children ages 11 to 13 attend six and seventh grades at the public school on Rues Lane.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan said the investigation began after relatives of the student learned of the alleged assaults and contacted police.
The Hammarskjold school website lists Sun as a teacher in the World Language/ English as a Second Language department.
Authorities said Sun was suspended from his job, with pay, pending the outcome of the charges. He has been teaching in East Brunswick for 19 years.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about this alleged incident, or any similar incidents, to call Detective Sean Goggins of the East Brunswick Police Department at (732) 390-6990 or Investigator Raj Chopra of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office at (732) 745-3600.

I don't understand?
I've known my ex since we were 12 yrs old, we were always great friends. We are now 30 and had recently reconnected when he found out I was moving back to our home town. I have been living in a different state for quite a few years. About 4 months ago we started talking about catching up and hanging out again when I moved back. Things quickly turned romantic, we had a long distance relationship. It was going smoothly, we had regular phone sex, talked 24/7, it was mutual. I still had reservations about moving so fast as he talked about moving in together.. I was not ready. We both fell in love quite quickly after I decided to let my guard down and give him my all. I trusted him completely and did things I never thought I would do. He had lost a lot of weight since he was big most of his life, he was helping me get in shape. Things were great, we had so much in common and had the same sense of humour and wanted the same things in life. I recently quit my job, sold most of the things I own so I could make the move easier. About 4 weeks ago I flew up to see him to organize everything up there. We had a great weekend, he said he loved me and couldn't wait for me to be there permanently. I came back home and then things went strange. The cute messages stopped, he said he was busy and going through a lot.. Then after a week of him ignoring me, he broke it off via text message and said he wasn't ready for a relationship and the thought of it have him anxiety. After he pushed me to do everything, I thought this was strange. I found out via a friend that he had lost his job just after I left and he was in bad financial trouble..A few hours later I had a miscarriage.. I didn't even know I was pregnant. I told him and all he said was sorry, you'll be ok. Eventually he called to see if I was ok as the miscarriage has made me quite sick. I was gutted, my whole life plan was shattered. How could he do this to me? He said he cares for me but doesn't want anything but a friendship. Half my stuff is still at his house and I'm still grieving for our baby and over the break up.. I trusted him cause I had known him for a long time. He said I have to respect his decision ..How could his feelings change so quickly? I love him so much..What should I do? I don't understand it at all! Is there any hope in salvaging the relationship? Or should I move on.. I'm so confused!

Zach Sawyer says he saw his third-quarter dunk coming. Jake English probably did, too. West Canada Valley's Josh Sudakow did not.
With just under two minutes left in the third quarter, Sawyer and English played the two-man fast break—English pushed it right and then dumped it to Sawyer at the foul line. Sawyer rose up and slammed it over a waiting Sudakow for the and-1.
The dunk was two of Sawyer's game-high 24 in Waterville's 65-56 win over West Canada Valley on Sunday in the Section III Class C semifinal at the SRC Arena.
"I knew it was going to happen," Sawyer said of his dunk. "We do that all the time. We get in transition and he gives it up at the foul line. I saw the kid standing there and I just dunked on him."
Sawyer didn't have another dunk, but he was otherwise unstoppable. Whether it was on the block, at the foul line extended or from the perimeter, Sawyer put the ball on the floor and attacked the rim relentlessly.
Waterville coach Cody Maxam says he likes to use Sawyer and his forwards in the pick-and-roll with a guard and go from there.
"We like to use our guards and have Sawyer pick-and-roll," he said. "And (Will) Specht is a good shooter and can pick-and-pop."
The pick-and-roll game was hard to defend for West Canada Valley. The Indians tried to avoid Waterville's size in the half court by using a full-court press in the first quarter, but Waterville broke it with ease, scoring 20 points while methodically moving the ball past the press. Maxam says that's the advantage of playing a local team.
"We were definitely prepared for it," he said. "That's the advantage of playing a local team. We can see them. We were definitely prepared."
West Canada Valley's press didn't work, but its half court defense did. The Indians held Waterville to just seven second-quarter points and went into halftime up, 30-27.
And without a press to break in the second half, Maxam says his team just took what it was given against the zone of WCV.
"We just went with the flow," he said. "They were playing a 1-3-1 zone and we wanted to pound it inside."
Waterville did exactly that. Sawyer got countless second-half touches on offense while forwards Tyler Lemery and Hunter Williams controlled the paint. Lemery and Williams combined for 19 rebounds and 17 points.
"Our size was our biggest advantage," Maxam said. "We are the biggest team left."
Waterville's advantage in the post helped build a lead and Sawyer helped maintain it.
With six minutes left, Sawyer made a 3 from the wing to extend the lead to 11 points. And after the teams traded baskets, Sawyer swatted away a shot and took the ball the length of the court for a layup, giving Waterville the 57-47 lead with just under three minutes to play.
Sawyer says the transition game was the plan coming in.
"We always want to push it," he said. "Get it out in transition and push it inside."
WCV doesn't have the size of Waterville, but Alex Williams, Jordan Yaworski and Ryan Grogan were effective slashing to the basket. The trio combined to score 36 points and nine of the team's 18 fourth-quarter points.
With the win, Waterville will take on Fabius-Pompey in the Class C final on Mar. 1 in the Carrier Dome at 12:45 p.m.
Maxam says the team's size should again be an advantage and it's ready for Fabius' Stewart Wright—he scored 30 points in Fabius-Pompey's 60-50 win over Little Falls on Sunday—after facing New York Mills' Nick Comenale earlier this year.
"We know how to stop one guy," he said. "He's a good scorer but we put New York Mills on the schedule to get better. We had them on the schedule to prepare for this."

That's a popular question today, given Carnival Cruise Lines' abrupt decision to bail on Mobile.
There are others, of course: Can the city pay for the cruise terminal? Might another ship come in to fill the void? What else can go wrong for a city still smarting from the loss of an aerial refueling tanker project?
But even those questions are accompanied by why: If the ship always left full, why couldn't Carnival make money? If the company had to take a ship out of its Gulf cruise program, why leave Mobile instead of going with one less ship in New Orleans?
A few Friday calls to people in the travel industry yielded no clear answers.
Carnival said fuel costs were part of its decision. Another was the inability to raise prices and improve margins.
There is a chance that Mobile was simply collateral damage as Carnival Corp. works to satisfy profit-hungry shareholders.
The company warned Friday that it would miss Wall Street expectations for first-quarter earnings and that full-year profit would be lower as well, at $2.50 to $2.60 per share, as opposed to earlier estimates as high as $3.10. Carnival blamed rising fuel prices and some itinerary changes in the Middle East and North Africa.
But the travel industry professionals who spoke to the Press-Register also mentioned some troubling possibilities about the reasons for Carnival's pullout.
- Was Mobile's chronically higher-priced airfare a factor? Perhaps even the lack of passenger train service?
In today's economy, people make vacation decisions with the bottom line in mind. High transportation costs to the place of a cruise embarkation would make people more sensitive to the actual price of the cruise, explained Linda Coffman, who writes cruise guides for areas including the Caribbean and operates CruiseDiva.com.
- Does the city do enough to market itself to outsiders?
Carnival might be able to get higher prices for the same basic trip from New Orleans because people see it as being "an exotic and almost foreign place," Coffman said. They arrive, spend time in the French Quarter and start their vacation before they ever get on the ship.
Charleston, S.C., also has a historical component (and a new cruise terminal). Savannah, Ga., has its "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" appeal. And New Orleans is New Orleans.
"Mobile does have a lot of that charm and a lot of those things to offer, but people, I don't think, are aware of them," Coffman said. "It's the reputation. That's the whole thing. I don't think that people really view Mobile as a vacation destination."
Bob Bender, president of Springdale Travel American Express, said Friday that Carnival probably made a logical business decision. But that didn't stop his disappointment in the way the company handled itself.
Bender said, for example, that he never heard anything from the company about problems in Mobile, and he didn't believe that the city or its merchants were ever given the opportunity to try and help Carnival with promotion or additional advertising.
"Carnival has been a great business partner and will be going forward," said Bender, whose agency is among the top sellers of Carnival cruises in Gulf of Mexico. "But current management seems to be making some unilateral decisions without involving all stakeholders."
Bender expressed doubt that Carnival was getting a substantially higher rate for cruises on Elation's sister ship, which was based in New Orleans and now moves to Port Canaveral, Fla. But the company, he said, has experienced trouble for several years "maintaining price integrity" on its western Caribbean cruises, its only regular itinerary from Mobile.
Price, he said, is always a function of supply and demand, and by eliminating one of its two ships with very similar schedules, the company automatically changed that equation.
"If Carnival has made a decision that they're not happy with margins, what's the answer? Remove inventory," he said. "And where is it logical to remove it? Move the Elation, put all your inventory in New Orleans and see what happens."
Oivind Mathisen, editor of the trade publication Cruise Industry News, said that cruise lines are adept at making sure that their ships stay full, especially where "mass market" cruises such as Carnival's Mobile ship are concerned.
"Number one, you need a full ship to create a cruise vacation-type atmosphere," he said. Also, "a large portion of the crew depend on tips for their salaries. If you don't have a full ship, you will discount for a third reason also: Get them on board, and they spend money in the casino and in bars and you can make up your discounting."
Mathisen said that prices have been soft throughout the industry. Carnival, in particular, he said, seems focused on forcing down costs to improve the bottom line.
That, he added, may have made New Orleans more attractive than Mobile.
"There could be economies of scale that they have two ships in New Orleans, where they already have staff and infrastructure. They would also have to sell two ports rather than one, which makes the selling process a little more complicated," he said.
The difference may be only a small amount per ticket, he said, but multiply that by enough passengers in a year and you're talking about real money.
"Carnival told me two months ago that Mobile was doing fine, so I was as surprised as you were," Mathisen said Friday. "The cruise industry is a very fluid industry in that they can change, they can move ships around. ... They can put the ships wherever they think they can make the most money. They will look more at the numbers than anything else, because Wall Street is watching and expecting earnings.
"They are getting squeezed," he said, "and I'm afraid Mobile is paying the price."

About this recipe: Inspired by the classic French dish, this version is lighter and less extravagant. It combines chunky sausages, bacon and beans with the traditional garlic and herb crust.
If you're pushed for time, use two 300g cans of haricot beans, drained and rinsed, and omit steps 1 and 2. Add pork or chicken stock in step 4, making up the quantity with 150ml dry white wine, if liked.
A great recipe and very simple and extremely yummy. Used tinned Haricot beans which made it that little quicker. This meant that I did not have to follow stage 1 of the recipe. I used a chicken stock cube and used approximately 400ml of water to the mix. If you have Le Creuset you do not need an oven you can just use the hob and let it simmer gently for approximately and hour and a half. I did not bother with the crust. With the french sausages that we got from France this is a great dish especially on these cold summer days - 09 May 2013
