Cramer Quick Take: Run With Nike
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It looks like Nike
Cramer said that while investors worried about everything from gross margins to future orders to growth in China, the company had positive news on all fronts during its conference call.
Cramer said the key metric for Nike has always been future orders, which were up 7% for the quarter. That makes Nike a stock that will go up when the markets go up, but not go down a lot when the markets fall. Like McDonald's
"This is the turnaround quarter we've been waiting for," Cramer concluded.

Eh. Sensatinalist in nature, but...
Doesn't seem too much of a stretch.
They have mad cap to ink a stud or two this year or next.
And they arguably have the most prized C in the league. Combined with an all-star-like PG, an emerging Terrence Williams, and the potential of Yi (IMO undervalued on here)...
Devin Harris
Joe Johnson
6th Terrence Williams
Depending on just how refined Lopez can be in his dominance, that's a filthy team if healthy. And I'm sure they could work a way to get a solid PF who plays D if Yi doesn't develop.
Nets are prtty stacked for future IMO. Even after getting royally shafted on W
all. Even with that, if they were contending in ~3yrs it wouldnt surprise
And the way we are shaping up I really see Carmelo going there. Be sick.

Approach and Methods
The research proceeded along two strands: case studies of implementation on a selected sample of sites and a national probability survey of high school teachers.
The case studies for the secondary school study included seven states and a purposive sample of four districts and schools within each. The seven statesCalifornia, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio and Texaswere purposely selected for several reasons: each has a data system in place that provides accessible information about student achievement; for at least the school level; each had sufficient vocational program offerings; and overall the group balanced the need for geographic and demographic diversity.
Four school sites were randomly selected from a pool within each state that had either high or low student achievement relative to other schools in the state, after adjusting for the demographics of the students. The two high-achieving and low-achieving schools in each state also had vocational education enrollment that exceeded the state's median enrollment. As a whole, the schools balanced the need for geographic diversity, levels of population concentration/locale, and different types of vocational schools. The selection of schools that varied by student achievement was intended to shed light on the relationship between achievement and vocational education implementationi.e., whether higherand lower-achieving schools differed in their efforts to enhance the quality of vocational education. This selection method was imperfect, however, and this aspect of the analysis was not very informative.
The case studies were carried out from February through June 2001 and gathered descriptive information about the quality of vocational programs in the states, districts and schools using multiple data-gathering methods, such as interviews, focus groups and document analysis.
At the same time, RAND conducted a nationally-representative survey of teachers in comprehensive high schools and vocational schools. The survey was designed to examine whether the instructional, curricular and related activities in schools and classrooms correspond to quality practices as defined in the federal legislation. It also gathered information about teachers' backgrounds and their school and teaching environments. This report includes selected findings from the teacher survey where they inform the main study questions.
To assess the relative quality of vocational education programs at the study sites, the research team developed a set of quality indicators for selected program improvements discussed in Perkins III. These indicators were based on scholarly and policy research and studies of practices and were used to develop the interview guidelines and teacher survey and to interpret the study data.
In addition to the limitations in Perkins III noted above, the case-study findings are limited to the states and localities in the study sample. The teacher-survey findings reflect teacher reports on their schools, students, and teaching and curricular practices. Although the survey was designed to gather information on the prevalence of practices discussed in the legislation, it did not directly ask about Perkins III or its implementation.
With these caveats in mind, the following sections present findings organized by chapter.

If at first you don't succeed, try again?
That may have been the motto of a New York man arrested for DUI two times in one night at the same McDonald's.
Zachary Boynton, 31, first ran into the back of another car in the drive-through at the McDonald's in Oneonta early Sunday morning, Utica TV station WKTV reported.
He was charged with DUI after tests showed his blood-alcohol content was .25 percent, more than three times the legal limit of .08 percent, The Associated Press reported.
Boynton was released to a sober third party.
Four hours later, he was back at the same McDonald's.
This time, he hit the building with a car before fleeing the scene, according to police.
Authorities found the damaged vehicle outside his home and arrested him on another DUI charge.

He who has the bride is the bridegroom. – John 3:29a
Don't you love that we as New Testament believers are called the Bride of Christ?
Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. – Revelation 19:7
I don't want to turn into "Bridezilla" by focusing on all the wrong things as I prepare for that day.
But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. – 2 Corinthians 11:3
First and foremost our relationship to our Bridegroom is to be motivated by love and devotion. I didn't have to discipline myself to spend time with my fiancé. Love motivated me. He was my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night. That is why G.K. Chesterton encouraged us to, "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair."
We have a heavenly Bridegroom who has gone to prepare a place for us. Let us prepare our hearts by filling our lives with those things that fan our love for Christ and removing those things that dull or compete for our affection.
Lord, help us to live in anticipation of our wedding day with our eyes firmly fixed on You, our Bridegroom. Help us by your Spirit not to be led away from the simplicity and purity of our devotion to you.

Fan Fest a success!
First of all, no baby…yet. Just a false alarm (10-76 in police code) last night.
Any day now, little fella!
So, the Milwaukee Brewers On Deck event was a success.
Apparently, people started lining up @ 5am in the freezing cold so they could guarantee a spot in some of the autograph lines (Brewers fans are nuts-me included).
Trevor was officially introduced to Milwaukee.
Here are some pictures I promised Padres blogger – Kaybee of the man…
Trevor Hoffman brought out on stage by Mr. Baseball-Bob Uecker to a packed auditorium at the Riverside Theater. They concluded the show (in true "closer" fashion) with his introduction…and played "Hell's Bells" to him walking out.
Bob Uecker asking Trevor, "why Milwaukee?"
To which Trevor responded, "Coach Macha, Owner Mark Attanasio and former teammate Mike Cameron all showed a lot of interest in me coming to Milwaukee. 'Cam' said Milwaukee's a great place to play and the fans really come out to support the team."
Trevor about to tell Uecker that he's "pumped about being the new kid on the block." Trevor also said, "it's like being re-energized."
Trevor talking about his new teammate Tony Gwynn, Jr. He said, "the first time I saw Anthony, (we called him Anthony back then) he was about 10 years old and about this big. Now, he's a grown man and his talent has developed."
Trevor donning his new Brewers jersey…signing a baseball for a fan that has one sweet cow-lick.
Trevor inking another baseball…damn, he looks good in that uniform!
It's about to be Trevor Time in Milwaukee!!
Here you go young man…one signed baseball from the greatest closer the game has ever seen.
Trevor with one of his newest fans…(not the Happy Youngster).
Man, I can't wait to see this guy run out of the pen for the first time!!
The day also included the introduction of a few of the Brewers newest coaches.
New 3rd base coach-Brad Fischer.
New hitting coach (re-assigned to) Dale Sveum.
New bench coach-Willie Randolph.
Lots of experience on this staff. Not pictured is new Manager-Ken Macha.
The day also included autographs!!
Here's some befor
e and after photos of the items we had signed…
Ryan Braun authentic jersey.
Here's a picture of the young stud signing some autographs…
And remember the three game home run baseballs I wanted to have signed by Prince Fielder?
Well, we were only able to get one signed, so I chose the one from July 7, 2008 to be the one. We asked him to inscribe "97th career home run" next to his signature. He asked a nearby volunteer how to spell the word "career."
Hey, at least the guy can play baseball…!
The other two game home runs from Fielder will have to wait for another day to be signed.
All in all, a great day.
Go Brewers!

Happy – It seems like you had a great time and I know Kaybee will love the pictures! Glad the "baby watch" was just a false alarm so that you could go. Hope your son arrives soon! I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Happy, Fielder had to ask someone how to spell career, lol? Dude nice job on the pics and the autographs..What's a glass frame for that jersey going to cost?…D
Aw man, thanks so much!! Those are pretty amazing, and though he looks a million times better in a Padres uniform, I will give in and say that he looks decent in the Brewers uniform. Sounds like it was a great event!! Thanks again-I will be staring at them for a long time!!
I'm glad it was all a success! Do you think they'll use 'Hells Bells' every time he comes out now? Congrats on getting everything autographed, I really like Ryan Braun.
I'm sure that you're aware that he went to University of Miami, but that's within walking distance of my house. In fact, I probably saw him at a college game when I was younger.
thank you so very much-you are truly a good person!
I know a place that will frame a jersey for me for around $250.
I held back a chuckle when Fielder asked how to spell "career"-they don't pay him for his grammar skills!
Glad I could help.
They will play "Hell's Bells"-absolutely.
Yeah, Ryan Braun is a stud. I wish I could have seen him play for U Miami-that would've been sweet!
So glad you got to go, Happy. I was sure you'd be in the delivery room! I love that Brewers fans camped out in the cold at 5 a.m. Very impressive demonstration. Somehow, I'd forgotten that Willie Randolph is a Brewer now. He was a favorite Yankee of mine, so I hope you guys will treat him well and vice versa.
Looks like a great day. That is a very cool poster of Braun.
Responding to your question on my blog: I would rank Molitor in the top 10 all-time Blue Jays, even though he didn't play here that long. Fact was for his time here, 3 years including the 1994 strike season, Molitor embraced the team and got his well-deserved championship. The notion that a class-guy, like Molitor, wanted to come to Toronto in his hall-of-fame career made me feel proud to be a Jays fan. I remember when we aquired him. I thought: "Molitor is actually coming here?" In 1993 Molitor hit .332 for the Jays, he helped us in a number of ways being part of the Alomar, Olerud and Molitor combo that finish 1,2 and 3 that year in American League batting average. Although he didn't play here long, I'd put him in the top 10 Jays all-time list.
My list is always changing, but it goes something like this.
1. Roberto Alomar
2. Carlos Delgado (holds many Jays hitting records)
3. Roy Halladay (based on the future and the fact he is already my personal favorite Jay of all-time)
4. Dave Stieb (pitched amazing here for so many years)
5. Tony Fernandez (holds the record for most hits as a Jay)
6. Joe Carter (hit the big one! Anchored the lineup for many years)
7. Paul Molitor (I have him at number 7 all time! Pretty good for a guy that played here 3 years)
8. Devon White
9. Jimmy Key
10. Tom Henke
yeah, Brewers fans are crazy.
Willie Randolph was an excellent ballplayer and will make an excellent addition to our staff-we'll make him feel at home.
thanks for the awesome list. Some great names on that list!

Hi Sean Thank you so much for your reply, I will forward your thoughts on to the Paintball dept in the UK who are looking at my gun, hopefully it is the trigger seal.Why is it that Rap4 uk do not give any support or hold any stock of seals and have to order overseas from the USA for every request, It is very frustrating. With regard to your offer, if the Painball tech dept here can not fix it as I have thrown so much into this in terms of time without one shot in two 1/2 years that I really would love to have this actually working for at least one go! Could I ask that if I send it to you via USPS, I would pay your return shipping cost and time in fixing the gun, but I will see what they say once they have checked your suggestions.I will update you shortly and thank you for a reply its a bit like tumble weed on this forum.Much appreciated. Paul[/quotespoke with the Tech dept today, they said they had immersed in water and that the leak is from the bolt seal? hopefully Thibaut from their Tech will advise and upload a video. if you have any ideas on the bolt seal I would welcome any advise. Many thanks again. Atb Paul

This is the first in a two-part series on CVS. This article is intended for folks who will be using CVS already installed on a system. In it, the author explains check-out, update, adding, merging, and other functions. In the second part, scheduled to run later this month, she will show how to create and manage a CVS repository, for those who need to start from scratch. -- Ed.
CVS -- or Concurrent Versioning System -- is a system for managing simultaneous development of files. It is in common use in large programming projects, and is also useful to system administrators, technical writers, and anyone who needs to manage files.
CVS stores files in a central repository, set (using standard Unix permissions) to be accessible to all users of the files. Commands are given to "check out" a copy of a file for development, and "commit" changes back to the repository. It also scans the files as they are moved to and from the repository, to prevent one person's work from overwriting another's.
This system ensures that a history of the file is retained, which is extremely useful when the boss decides he wants a feature you trashed months ago. It also ensures that backing up the repository is enough to backup a project (providing all necessary files are kept in repository).
CVS is usually used to help manage projects, but can also be used for individual files.
CVS is designed for developers, either individually or in teams. For individuals, CVS provides a repository from which you can work from home, the office, or the client site without having to haul disks around. It also provides version control, allowing rollbacks without loss of data. For teams, it also keeps a record of who changed which lines of a file and prevents direct overwriting of each other's work.
System administrators can keep configuration files in CVS. You can make a change,
cvs commit it, test it. If it fails, roll back the change -- even if you only discover the failure six months down the track.
Administrators can keep a CVS tree of the configurations for server farms. Adding a new server? Just
cvs checkout the config tree for that type of server. Committing all changes also helps you keep track of who did what, when.
CVS is useful for writers. I keep these articles in a CVS tree -- if I lose my local copy, I have an automatic backup. It is also useful if I'm collaborating, or if I discover that I need to retrieve a section I'd removed.
The examples in this article assume that there is a pre-existing CVS repository for the project.
The next article in this series will be "CVS Administration," which will explain how to create a CVS repository, branch projects, and manage the repository. For now, check
cvs init and
cvs import in the
cvs man page.
If you expect to use one repository, set the
$CVSROOT environment variable to the repository's full path, in the format
:protocol:user@host:path. It should look something like
For security, set the
$CVS_RSH environment variable to
ssh. By default, CVS uses
rsh to access a repository on a remote machine.

CVS stores the files in a central repository, but users work from a working copy of a file.
cd into that directory.
cvs checkout module, e.g.
cvs checkout example. (
module is CVS' name for a related collection of files.)
If you don't have a
$CVSROOT environment variable, or want to use a different repository, use
cvs -d
repository-path to checkout the module instead.
The checkout will put a copy of that module's files and subdirectories into your
cvs directory.
cvs$ ls
cvs$ cd example; ls
CVS src
cvs/example$ cd CVS; ls
Entries Repository Root
CVS directory is a special directory CVS uses for its own purposes.
CVS/Entries lists files and subdirectories CVS knows about.
CVS/Repository contains the path to the corresponding directory in the repository.
CVS/Root contains the path to the repository, so you won't need to use the
-d repository-path option again for these files.
Note that
CVS/Root overrides the
$CVSROOT environment variable, so if you change the repository, you should check out the module again.
cvs/src$ ls
CVS Makefile sample.h sample.c
src directory contains the source files for the example project.
sample.h, and
Makefile are ordinary files in the working copy -- in the repository, they are stored in a format which tracks the changes.
Every day before you start work, and any time someone else may have made and committed changes,
cd into your working directory and run
cvs update. This checks your working copies against the repository files and imports any changed files for you.
cvs update -d also gives you any new directories.
Update reports on the status of each file as it checks it:
cvs commit)
cvs commit)
If CVS can't merge a modified file successfully with the copy in the repository, it announces the conflict in the output of
cvs update. The original file is stored in
.#file.version in the file's working directory, and the results of the merge are stored as the original filename.
cvs/example$ cvs update
firstname.lastname@example.com's password:
cvs server: Updating .

retrieving revision 1.4
Merging differences between 1.3 and 1.4 into sample.c
rcsmerge: warning: conflicts during merge
cvs server: conflicts found in sample.c
C sample.c
CVS writes the merge with the conflicting lines surrounded by CVS tags. CVS can't automatically merge conflicts where the same line is changed in both versions of a file.
<<<<<<< sample.c
Deliberately creating a conflict.
Let's make a conflict.
>>>>>>> 1.4
Once your files are checked out, edit them and compile them normally. Apply the updates to the repository with
cvs commit. This command needs to be run from higher in the hierarchy than all the files you have changed -- you can run it from the base of your working copy.
You can also
cvs commit filename, which will commit a single file or recursively commit a directory.
Different project teams have different opinions on how often to
cvs commit. Good rules of thumb include "every time you have a clean compile," and "every day before lunch and before you leave."
cvs/example$ cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Examining src
email@example.com's password:
CVS examines each directory and subdirectory below the current working directory. Any files that CVS knows about will be checked for changes. If your
cvs repository is not on the local machine, CVS will ask for a password for the remote machine.
CVS then opens whichever editor is the default in your environment -- based on the
$CVSEDITOR or
$EDITOR environment variables. Add change-notes for the appropriate files.
CVS: Enter Log. Lines beginning with 'CVS:' are removed automatically
CVS: Committing in .
CVS: Modified Files:
CVS: example/src/sample.h example/src/sample.c
I strongly recommend meaningful change-notes -- if you're trying to do a rollback and all you have are messages which say "fixed a few bugs," you'll not know which version to roll back to without using
cvs diff.
If there is a potential conflict,
cvs commit fails. Correct this by running a
cvs update on the repository -- CVS will attempt to merge the files, and will ask for human help if it cannot do this without losing data.
cvs server: Up-to-date check failed for 'cvs_intro.html'
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!
cvs commit: saving log message in /tmp/cvst7onmJ
Files CVS doesn't know what to do with are reported with a question mark after the commit process and during a
cvs update. They need to be added to the repository before CVS will recognize them.
cvs add filename to mark a new file for inclusion. CVS doesn't put the file in the repository until you do a
cvs commit.
Directories are added with the same command. Files within a directory can't be added until the directory is added.
To mark a file for removal from the working copies, use
cvs remove filename. Before CVS will remove a file from the repository, you have to actually delete it from the filesystem. CVS doesn't actually remove the file entirely, it puts it in a special subdirectory in the repository called
CVS does not remove directories -- it would break the change tracking. Directories can be removed by changing the repository -- this is discussed in "CVS Administration."
CVS is useful as a tool for concurrent development, maintaining file histories, and providing a central database for files of any sort. It's well worth looking into and playing with.
man cvs
man 5 cvs

Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
When it comes to personality, work ethic, intelligence, etc., Parcells would be thrilled to have Manning.
Simms couldn't even stay on the field his first few seasons.
And when 1/2 of the team wanted to rebel against "old" Coughlin, Eli was unwavering in his support.....so it's not like he's not used to some fire and brimstone.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
"Too stupid to understand PFF!!!".......
His performance in the playoffs was solid in that he didn't turn the ball over. His yards, TD's were right in line with his career averages.
"Too stupid to understand PFF!!!".......
" Point I made was Eli carried that team more often then not through that season and runs they went on in the playoff"

Course Overview
This course provides substantive instruction in administrative policymaking and implementation. It is usually taken during the first year. Students are introduced to the role and method of administration in meeting policy expectations, resolving issues, responding to new requirements, and evaluating performance. The course covers the following topics: organization structure and bureaucracy, management issues and processes, managerial psychology, managing diversity, leadership, strategic planning, interorganizational relations, administrative law, human resource management, labor relations, personnel administration, performance measurement, program evaluation, information management, and ethics of public service. Each section of the course uses a different aspect of public administration or public management to emphasize these topics. The objectives of the course are achieved by using case studies, simulation exercises, class visitors, and practical exercises which complement the assigned readings and class discussions.
Section Description
When agencies fail to carry out their missions, when programs fail to operate efficiently, effectively, and fairly, and when agency staff fail to perform at their highest level, then management has failed. Securing and retaining the public's trust in the work of government rests squarely on the abilities and successful leadership of managers. This is a challenging time to be in leadership roles in public institutions: one must manage under the pressures of fiscal constraints; the public's expectations of open government; the administrative complexities of contracting out services; the explosion of information technologies; and the often vague and partisan-charged policy directives generating from the legislature.
To prepare for this challenging profession, this course will expose students to the traditional responsibilities of public managers, which include: formulating new and improved policies; implementing complex policy directives; and using data, research and evaluations to oversee program implementation and operations. Students will also learn how to face new and emerging challenges to public management. Increasingly, governments are called upon to be efficient and transparent in their operations and to serve as catalysts for—in addition to actual deliverers, redistributors, or regulators of—goods, services, and opportunities affecting the public. As such, the responsibilities of public managers are shifting increasingly to managing more dynamic, innovative, integrated, and collaborative organizations.
The course will integrate some theories of management with actual experiences of those who have managed to help students develop skills and insights necessary to lead and manage public organizations. Students will learn how to apply common sense and critical problem solving skills when facing management and leadership challenges.

Ver Meer Signs With Dordt Volleyball
July 1, 2013
(Monday, July 1; Sioux Center, Iowa) Andrea Ver Meer, a graduate of Morning Star Academy (Iowa), has announced her intention to attend Dordt College and join the Defender volleyball program.
Ver Meer, a 5-11 middle blocker, posted per-match averages of 6.8 kills, 2.5 blocks, 4.0 digs and 2.6 ace serves. She earned all-conference honors in both volleyball and basketball last season and was an honorable mention all-Quad City Times All-Metro volleyball selection. She claimed the MVP honors at the Pathway Christian Tournament.
"Andrea is a great addition to our volleyball program as I believe she has the physical athletic abilities to compete as a middle hitter in our conference. Further, she has found a good starting point in her volleyball career at Morning Star Academy under the coaching of Mikhail Giza and Joy Rendall," said Dordt College coach Chad Hanson. "Her best years of volleyball are ahead as I have seen her make quick adaptations on the court throughout her training. Off the court, Andrea is a wonderful fit for our campus and volleyball program. We are blessed to have her join us this fall."
Andrea is the daughter of Greg and Sandy Ver Meer of Davenport, Iowa. She plans to study Nursing at Dordt College.

For a place to become the best spot for prime people watching, it must include a few specific ingredients.
Lots of people, of course, but it must go beyond sheer numbers.
It needs to be eclectic and electric, wild but also contrasted with just enough tameness to really make the crazy pop. The place should certainly offer a general looseness of societal standards, but it needs to go further than simply setting the table for festive and bizarre.
There should, ultimately, be an expectation for the inane.
And that, dear readers, ComFest has in spades.

The passengers include a fascist English aristocrat fleeing with his family and a fortune in jewels; a German scientist escaping from the Nazis; a murderer under FBI escort; a beautiful young woman heading for a new life; and a handsome, charming, unscrupulous thief.
They will be in the air for 30 hours, soothed by the carpeted lounges, the curtained beds, the gourmet dining room, and the endless champagne. But once inside the flying palace, there is no escape. Over the Atlantic, the Clipper's passengers are gripped by mounting fear and tension as their journey reaches the point of no return.
©1991 Ken Follett; (P)1991 Brilliance Audio
"Follet soars to a thoroughly satisfying ending with aeronautical precision." (Publishers Weekly)
"Tom Casaletto's glib performance makes this seemingly endless journey fly by with ease. His many accents are first-rate." (AudioFile)
"Good Yarn With a Few Unexpected Twists"
This story will keep you engaged throughout. The characters are well developed separately and brought together with some interesting consequences. Follett is truly a great storyteller more than a great writer. Sure, there are some slightly implausible parts where you think, "Why doesn't he do this or do that?" But, hey, this is a fun story and not a literary masterpiece. If you are the type that scoffs and shoots holes in stories, go ahead. But if you are looking for a fun plane ride with lots of bumps and twists, give it a try.
One caveat, the sex scenes are more descriptive and frequent than is necessary for the story.
"Fun Listen"
Follett weaves another fine yarn!
This book is written from the perspective of a handful of different characters who all end up on a transatlantic flight together.
As a master story teller, he weaves it all together exceptionally well, combining action, romance and intrigue.
The conversations and actions near the end get a little cliche' and campy but I think Follet was just trying to capture how people really spoke in 1939 as opposed to sounding a little hokey at times.
The narrator was good.
Of his recent Audible releases, I would rate this one the second best behind "A Dangerous Fortune", which was terrific. The Needle, Triple and Lie Down with Lions are decent but not as good.
I teetered between a 4 or 5 star and rounded up :)
Don't you just love a great story well told?
"Excellent Story"
Follett spends a 1/3 of the book setting up his characters like dominoes. Then the plane takes off and he lets the dominoes tumble in wonderfully intertwined yet unpredictable patterns. Nearly all the characters are well developed and highly believable, several conflicted. The plot is more complex than one would expect in such a limited space. This story is very well researched, produced and narrated. Overall: A first rate thriller.
"Great book, terrible narrator"
I loved this book but listening to this particular narrator was painful. He put nearly the same inflection on every sentence, so that he always sounded as if he were reading the exciting line of a kid's book. If Follet weren't so good, I couldn't have kept going.
Daily Dog Walker and LONG Silicon Valley commutes, so I gulp through and love lotsa books, especially literary fiction and Mystery.
"A Ship of Fools..."
While I was listening to this, I thought-- I've got t re-read Katherine Anne Porter's "Ship of Fools" because this novel reminded me of "ship" in the air vs. sea. So after I finished listening to this, I did listen to "ship" and it wasn't a very good mental comparison.
Some of this repeats what I just wrote about "Ship."
Here's the thing, I've said in reviews before that more literary novels do not always fare so well as "listens." I think of Follet as storyteller, someone like the brilliant Bryce Courtney who puts together a brilliant story, and the story drives all, and the characters are quickly and proficiently sketched and the reader is quickly and professionally sucked in to a compelling narrative, an these books are tailor-madefor Audible. "Ship" is harder to carry off in Audible form -- it's a more psychological novel, and doesn't let you sit back (drive/commute/walk) and relax, you have to REALLY listen (or read). Or listen twice.
Follet as always is sheer storytelling enjoyment, strong narrative, fun, you'll want to speed-listen. Follet is perfect for Audible (or beach-reading) and is story telling its finest.
There are other good/legitimate reasons to read/listen as well, and "Ship" is not for the story, it's for the psychological insight. I love that I can honor two world class writers in one review, and encourage listening/reading to both for different reasons.
"Night Over water" will pull you in and give you great listen/story that you won't want to pause, as I expect from this author and have yet to be disappointed!
"Story ruined by poor narration"
a better narrator, such as Frank Muller
The narrator, Casaletto, did a dreadful job with English accents. I gave up after a couple of chapters.
Extreme dissapointment with the narrator.
"This was Follet? NO!!"
I love Ken Follet and have been enthralled by his other books. This was not one of them. The story line itself was good. The writing/sex/intregue were all so terribly boring.
On top of that, the reader was unexciting to say the least. He sounded bored with all of it. I was too.
Of course. Pillers of the Earth was unsurpassed.
No interest in what he was reading.
All the sex scenes. Someone said it was like sex of their grandmother. Yep!
Come on Mr. Follet. Please do what we know you can do.
"One of the best"
I stumbled on Ken Follett when I joined Audible. What a writer! He is an amazing storyteller and builds characters like few can. Pillars will be in my top five favorites of all times. World Without End is slower to take off, but picks up pace quickly. Love them both!
"the early Ken Follett"
The story took quite awhile to get going. The narrative seems to be more directed to a teenage audience then an adult one. The story telling, however, seems to presage the authors subsequent excellent stories.
The narrator does a fine job and his accents carry the story to a certain extent.
"Surprised by this trash"
I think Follett's "Pillars of the Earth" is a masterpiece and the follow-up novel "World Without End" a worthy read. So when I was browsing for something light, I picked "Night over Water." The basic plot revolves around the Pan American Clipper that flew from London to New York and is set at the outbreak of WW II. I thought it had great potential and was very disappointed when it kept constantly degenerating into long descriptions of character X sexually stimulating character Y. These were not integral to the plot and I finally just quit listening. I'm done with Follett for good!

Consumption refers to all the resources we purchase, wear, use, eat, drink, and otherwise surround ourselves with. At the end of this cycle is waste, the things we dispose of because they are left over, worn out, used up, or not needed. For example, after you purchase and drink a soda, the bottle becomes waste to be tossed out.
Both consumption and waste have major environmental impacts. Producing goods and transporting them to consumers uses large quantities of fossil fuels and produces pollution, particularly carbon dioxide (the major greenhouse gas leading to climate change). When these products become waste, they are transported again, usually to landfills, where they produce methane (another potent greenhouse gas) as they break down, or to incinerators, which generate more pollution as they burn.
Although the United States is home to just 5 percent of the world's population, it generates 30 percent of its trash. The average American creates a staggering 4.5 pounds of garbage daily. Almost everything we do creates waste, and as a society we are currently producing more waste than ever before.
When it comes to tackling the problem of waste, remember the Three Rs:
What Can Schools Do About Consumption and Waste?
Most school waste is made up of food, paper and packaging waste. It may also contain some glass, metals and plastics. A school can reduce its environmental impact by analyzing the full life cycle of the products it uses. Trimming consumption, reducing packaging and transport distance, and recycling as many items as possible all translate into smaller amounts of garbage being hauled away.
Monitoring the amount of trash a school creates, and taking steps to minimize this amount, takes time, effort and the cooperation of the whole school. But this can be a very rewarding process. Not only will the school community become more aware of the impacts of its buying and disposal habits, but the school may also see direct financial benefits, such as a reduction in waste disposal costs and revenue from selling recyclable items.
Waste that isn't disposed of properly becomes a visible problem in the form of litter on school grounds. By tackling litter along with other aspects of waste disposal, you can eliminate an unsightly problem, boosting both your school's image and students' pride.
To work out how best to minimize the waste your school produces, you will need to look at each type of waste in turn. Completing a consumption and waste audit will help you do this. Again, think of the Three Rs:
Has your school developed a great way to tackle consumption and waste? If so, why not share it with everyone on our Facebook page?

The latest addition to the bustling entry-level market the Pentax K-m, but just what does it offer that the K200D doesn't?
Pentax K-m Review
The main reason for this variety, from the manufacturers' perspective, is that if they can lure you into their system at the start, and get you to buy their lenses as your skill develops, then you'll be 'tied' to their system for the rest of your shooting days. Just ask yourself how many times you've heard an experienced snapper postulate, 'It's just too difficult to change systems'.
However, the desire of the manufacturers to hook you in early can also be beneficial to you as a consumer. If you are new to the world of DSLRs, then it's highly likely that you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer variety of cameras you can pick up for under £400. Whether you want AF live view or not, in-camera or in-lens image stabilisation, or just the plain cheapest, there's something for you.
So, with such a crowded and competitive market place, what exactly does the Pentax K-m bring to the party to get you hooked on the Pentax system? How does it compare with its sub-£400 peers, what differentiates it from its predecessor, and what exactly makes it the right entry-level DSLR for you?
More info:
Pentax has built up something of a reputation for releasing high-quality entry-level DSLRs.
Its K range is now in its fifth generation of entry-level models with the addition of the K-m, a model which picks up almost directly from its predecessor – the K200D. Pentax has yet to confirm whether the K200D is to be discontinued in the UK, but this has already occurred in Japan. Given how remarkably similar the two cameras are, it would come as little surprise if the UK were to follow suit.
The K-m follows the recent trend set by both entry-level DSLRs and the new Micro Four Thirds type interchangeable-lens cameras, in so far as the main focus is the reduction of size. Measuring 122 x 92 x 68mm, the K-m is around 92% of the size of the K200D and weighs in at 575g compared to the K200D's 630g. It's fair to say that there has been a fair reduction in bulk between the two models.
Aside from this reduction in size, the majority of the inner workings remain the same. The K-m sports the same 23.5 x 15.7mm CCD sensor, which outputs 10.75MP and an effective resolution of 10.2MP, producing a maximum image size of 3872 x 2592 pixels – the same as the K200D. Files are stored in either Pentax's linguistically quirky three-stage 'Good, Better, Best' JPEG compression, or in 12-bit Raw.
While it is becoming more common for manufacturers to 'update' their cameras without actually changing a great deal, one area that is normally improved upon is the LCD screen. With the K-m, however, Pentax has chosen to leave it alone – as with the K200D, the K-m sports a 2.7in, 230k-dot LCD screen, the size of which is still slightly larger than a few of its big name competitors.
As with the K200D before, the K-m features Pentax's proprietary in-camera shake reduction system. With it, any K-mount lens attached to the body of the K-m automatically benefits from shake reduction. It's not all identical between the K-m and its K200D predecessor with regards to the inner workings of the camera, however. The K-m features an extended ISO range that now offers a high ISO of 3200 (compared to 1600) that will be of benefit for those looking to shoot in low light and don't mind a small amount of image noise. What may be seen as a loss for some from the K200D on the K-m is the reduction of AF points, which now number just five from 11. All of this technology is powered, as before in the K200D, with four AA batteries.
As mentioned previously, the major change between the K-m and the K200D is in size, with the K-m being noticeably smaller. When you consider that very few, if any, sacrifices have had to be made to the specification of the K200D to fit it into the body of the K-m, it's quite some achievement.
To say that sacrifices have been made to design and button layout would be inaccurate, as any views on the changes made would be far more subjective than objective. That said, a reduction in the size of the body calls for either smaller buttons or the removal of excess buttons and features. Pentax has wisely opted for the latter option. The top of the K-m sees the removal of the top-plate LCD, with the mode dial shifted from the left over to the right to sit where the LCD used to be. Shooting settings are now displayed on the camera's rear LCD, as is often the preference with current entry-level DSLRs. To fit in with the reduction in width, the LCD screen now runs flush to the left of the camera's back, with operating buttons moving over to the right of the screen. This means all of the function buttons, including the D-pad, command dial, menu, info buttons and the like are closely grouped, which certainly aids the camera's usability.
On the matter of functionality, the focus on the entry-level aspect of the K-m has led to a few nice design features. Not only does the D-pad on the camera's rear now double as a quick access point to ISO, white balance, drive mode and flash control, but the top of the camera sees the introduction of a '?', or help, button. Upon pressing the help button for the first time, the camera's LCD will display a full explanation of the current shooting mode selected. One further press of the button will take you into a button explanation help mode, allowing the user to access a full explanation of any button of the camera – a small and quirky feature, but one that will no doubt prove useful for beginners.
The cosmetics of the K-m further differ from the K200D with the addition of a stainless steel flash of piping along the base of the camera's top-plate. While this isn't a massive change, it does serve to mark the camera out from the crowd, and adds a further element of class to the camera's already impressive build quality.
The AF system on the K-m doesn't seem to suffer from the reduction in AF points from 11 to five. The speed of autofocus is as good as any of its peers, and focus is generally accurate. One feature that takes a bit of getting used to is the audible noise which the focusing system makes.
With the standard kit lens, the lens itself emits a loud buzz and whirr while shifting between focal lengths. Primarily this is just an issue of personal preference, but something you may need to consider more seriously if you're looking to take up wildlife photography. If that's the case, then investing in some of Pentax's more expensive glass could prove worthwhile in the long run.
The metering system of the K-m tends to throw up a variety of results, ranging from shot to shot, but more often than not appearing underexposed. This variety of capture, however, also extends to the camera's white balance. More often than not, the K-m produces images displaying a white balance erring on the warm side.
There are also a few niggles with the K-m's interface, in my opinion. For example, the camera sports an Auto Exposure Bracketing function, which is a welcome addition if you're fond of HDR photography. However, as the AEB function sits under the same selection menu as other drive mode options, combing Auto Exposure Bracketing with a two-second self-timer is impossible. This ultimately means that if you want to completely remove camera shake, you have to manually bracket images using the self-timer – ultimately a trade-off that needn't have been.
Image Quality
RAW and JPEG
Considering the aforementioned issues in capture with both underexposure, and consequently white balance and colour, I would deem it almost imperative to shoot either solely Raw or at least Raw+JPEG.
Noise is
more prevalent in Raw, owing to the lack of noise reduction, but detail is more finely preserved and chances are that noise reduction software will do a better job than in-camera.
The Pentax K-m follows on in the grand tradition of Pentax cameras from days gone by in regularly underexposing.
As a guide, shooting with exposure compensation of +5 will provide more accurate results.
However, this tendency to underexpose can prove valuable if you're prepared to do a bit of work in post-production, because it will maintain detail in potentially blown-out skies.
Noise control is impressive with the K-m, as was the case with the K200D before. There is virtually no loss in image quality up to ISO 400, with ISO 800 still eminently useable. ISO 1600 begins to see a loss in fine
detail owing to noise reduction, though differences between Raw and JPEG are negligible, while at ISO 3200 it's very noticeable.
Tone And Contrast
The tonal range of the K-m may shed more light on the reason for underexposure, given the fact that highlights blow easily, owing to a narrow dynamic range, though detail is maintained well in the shadows.
Colour And White Balance
Colour rendition on the K-m is generally pleasing. The issues mentioned with underexposure do tend to have a knock-on effect with white balance – for example, when trying to set the correct amount of exposure
compensation, the white balance can shift with each setting, veering from warm to cold. However, if you shoot Raw and get the exposure right, any issues are easily amended in post-processing or the Raw conversion
Sharpness And Detail
Considering that Pentax has stuck with the 10MP sensor rather than increasing the resolution, fine detail remains impressively rendered. The K-m adequately met the task of large-scale landscape work undertaken,though image sharpness was slightly lacking. Again, this is no great problem as a simple sharpening process in post-processing was more than adequate for the task.
Value for Money
Due to the similarities of the K-m and the K200D, it seems fair to draw a comparison between their prices. The K200D launched with a price tag of about £550 back in June 2008. At the time, the K200D was marketed as an 'entry-level' camera, but with a host of features from its more advanced K20D stablemate. However, the same camera has now appeared in the shape of the slightly smaller K-m, and this is offered for around £340 for the camera and kit lens.
When you consider the launch list price of each, you can only conclude that the K-m represents fantastic value, even at its RRP. It is not often that you can say that, these days, given that new cameras often start expensive before falling to a more realistic price within weeks of launch. The K-m has already dropped in price by a fair amount since it was launched, and if this continues to happen then it will represent even better value.
Differentiating with a range of DSLRs can often prove problematic for a manufacturer. The manufacturer can either focus on restricting the inner workings of the camera to keep costs down, or simply alter the design and size to the same end.
Pentax has clearly opted for the latter approach with regards to differentiating the K-m from the six-month-old K200D. The latter camera, while debuting at a price point towards the high end of the entry-level market, was acclaimed for featuring facets of its more advanced sibling. It, of course, follows that the K-m also features said facets, owing to the fact that it?s essentially the same camera ? but, of course, over £150 cheaper than the K200D was at launch. What you also have to consider is that the K-m is, in essence, more than an entry-level DSLR. The slight quirks with underexposure, and in turn white balance, mean that shooting Raw is certainly preferable, and as such an understanding of image-editing software needed.
But this is what the K-m offers ? an eminently affordable DSLR that produces good results if you?re willing to put a bit of effort into your shots, a process which will in turn improve your photography.

State Superintendent supports Venice Financial Oversight Panels removal of school board
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller today voiced his support for the Venice Financial Oversight Panels action to remove incumbent members of the Venice CUSD #3 (Madison County) school board effective immediately. During a special meeting today, the FOP rejected the school boards proposed district budget because it was not in balance and under authority granted by statute took the unprecedented step of removing the school board members. The district board had previously received two deadline extensions to produce a balanced budget for submission to the FOP.
In a statement released today, Schiller stated his support for the FOP decision.
The panels action comes three months after the State Board of Education appointed the Financial Oversight Panel to develop emergency assistance for the struggling district. Under state law, the financial panel is empowered to provide oversight and approval for additional borrowing by the district. It has the authority to approve or disapprove spending decisions made by the local school board. In addition, the panel can recommend special legislation such as creation of a School Finance Authority or even dissolution of the district to address the situation.
According to ISBE officials, the FOP was formed in July when it was learned that the school district had previously not maintained financial records for FY02 and FY03 and failed to file its annual financial report with ISBE for FY02. The district also failed to meet its last teacher payroll at the end of the FY03 school year and was unable to pay its adult education staff. In addition, the district has not paid its special education co-op or provided special education services for students.
The FOP panel members - who serve without pay are: Rudolph G. Wilson, Assistant Provost for Cultural and Social Diversity at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville; Mary C. Kane, an investment banker with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc.; and Mike Blacharczyk (Blah-HAR-check), Director of Special Education for the Belleville Special Education Cooperative. Wilson serves as the FOP Chair.
Venice is the seventh district in Illinois history to operate with an FOP. Mt. Morris, the first district to have an FOP, has since annexed to another district. East St. Louis School District 189 in St. Clair County has operated with an FOP since 1994. Round Lake School District 116 in Lake County and Hazel Crest School District 152 ½ in Cook County each operated with an FOP but have since been placed under the oversight of School Finance Authorities. The State Board created a Financial Oversight Panel in December 2002 for Livingston School District 4 in Madison County, and an FOP was appointed for Cairo Schools in February of this year.

Hierarchical physical design - issues and methodologies
In this paper, we will examine some of the issues and methodologies encountered during the finishing and physical signoff stages, and discuss how some of the risks can be mitigated by forward planning and careful data management based on successful experiences of Synopsys Professional Services design consultants implementing large designs. We will also look at additional methods that can be used to give a high degree of confidence in the integrity and manufacturability of a large hierarchical design.

More Than Data Management
Managing the people, the data and the technology are just as important as meeting the market window given that without these, the entire project wouldn't function. Throw huge data set sizes, different cultures and business management issues into the mix and the challenges are many.

Semi ecosystem collaboration more critical than ever
With the industry still recovering from the recession, design tool and methodology innovation is continuing to shift to tight collaboration between semiconductor companies, EDA vendors, and foundries.

Complex SoC Testing with a Core-Based DFT Strategy
With scaling technology and increasing design sizes, power consumption during test and test data volume have grown dramatically — making it almost impossible to test an entire design once it reaches manufacturing. But, using a core-based test strategy combined with scan compression offers one of the most effective ways to limit both huge data volumes and high power consumption of complex SoC tests.

Applying Constrained-Random Verification to Microprocessors
Constrained-random verification (CRV) offers a highly effective way to deal with the challenges of microprocessor verification. These verification challenges are overwhelming for many reasons: complex instruction sets, multiple pipeline stages, in-order or out-of-order execution strategies, instruction parallelism, fixed- and floating-point scalar/vector operations, and other features that create a seemly never-ending list of corner cases to exercise. The time required to create traditional directed tests has become unreasonable.

Practical Ways To Estimate, Implement, And Verify SoC Decoupling Capacitance
Deep-submicron systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) require a power-grid voltage drop of much less than 10% of VDD. Decoupling capacitors, or decaps, help achieve this goal by minimizing switching noise.

Delivering Simultaneous Silicon and Software
A chip is of little use without its software. The semiconductor industry realizes this and is more interested than ever in delivering both silicon and software at the same time. Texas Instruments has combined a number of strategies to reduce software integration time from around 18 months to just one to two months.

IC Design at Advanced Process Nodes: Add Flex to your Flow
To handle numerous technical challenges associated with advanced process nodes, chip designers must have a design flow that adapts to evolving requirements and design goals. At the same time, design teams must also deal with project-related challenges, such as achieving consistent design development across geographically distributed design teams, ramping up new sites, and correcting issues with third-party-library and IP (intellectual-property) quality.

Practical Power Network Synthesis For Power-Gating Designs
Although methodologies for power network synthesis typically assume that design tools can freely size sleep transistors for power gating, this assumption does not hold up for real-world SoC designs where the sleep transistors are commonly designed as custom switch cells of fixed sizes.

Proper Planning Assures SoC Power Integrity
Unless they're planned out of the design, power integrity issues like excessive rail voltage drop (IR drop) and ground bounce can create timing problems.

A Practical Approach to Measuring IC Design Productivity
If a project goes beyond its predicted schedule, it directly impacts profitability. With this in mind, Synopsys consulting and design services organization evaluated their own physical design processes across a broad spectrum of their customer design projects to better understand how productivity can be measured and improved.
Jan 01, 2007
Metrics Measure IC Design Productivity
IC design productivity is often thought of as an elusive term. From a design team's perspective, it is a difficult concept to assess due to the fact that IC design projects are diverse in their input, application areas, and design approaches.

Pilot Design Environment Integrates Flow
At first glance, the Pilot Design Environment from Synopsys Inc. may sound like a resurrected EDA framework from the late 1980s. But Synopsys claims to be taking a fresh approach with this integrated RTL-to-GDSII design system, sold as a customized offering by Synopsys Design Services.
Feb 27, 2006
Dual Threshold Voltages and Power-Gating Design Flows offer Good Results
Design-optimization methodologies and flows that use gates with two threshold voltages (VTH) can achieve excellent results for both power and timing with a high degree of automation. This dual-VTH approach has become crucial for VDSM (very-deep-submicron) chips, in which reduced VTH not only improves performance, but also increases static (leakage) power.

A couple days ago, a girl whom I went to high school with called me out of the blue and said, "What are you doing?" I told her I was just finishing lunch and she said, "I'd love to see you. I'm here with an Italian friend of mine whom I'd like you to meet, can you come by now?" Timing was perfect so we met at a restaurant minutes away from where I was. She speaks Spanish and English, he speaks Italian, Spanish and English and I speak Italian, Spanish and English, so no sooner did I arrive did we find ourselves in a triangle of language a Spanglish and Italish. I caught up and I found out her worked at a near by fine dining restaurant. It was a brief but fun meeting and our conversation lasted maybe ten or fifteen minutes at the most before we went our separate ways.
Last night I took a girlfriend to dinner and it happened to be at the place that Italian guy was was working, though I hadn't made the connection yet. Well… We no sooner walked in the door and I see this tall figure do a double and triple take of me from at least 30 feet away. I recognized him and smiled broadly but his response was unprecedented. He came rushing over, arms in the air, huge smile, an even bigger "Ciaooooooo!!!!!" followed by an enormous hug and an additional trail of friendly Italian speak. You would have thought we were reuniting as long lost brothers! The hostess was flabbergasted and smiling, Jenna was smiling and marveling at how she could know who this person is who must certainly be a best friend. Italian guy gave me another firm embrace, and I introduced him to Jenna and caught up for another moment before we were seated. The look on his face was complete elation and joy, like nothing else mattered in the world except that we catch up for this one moment.
I was rolled over. Steamrolled with happiness. Giddy even. (And I have to say giddy is not a response I am familiar with when it comes to other men…) What a reaction! We barely sat down for two seconds when he came darting out to the table again speaking a 1000 miles a minute in Italian, hands animating each word, "Now look! I can't be your server but I've already had words with the waiter who is handing this section. I told him he better take exceptional care of you, or he'll have me to answer to!" Wow! More smiles and then he walked away.
Immediately Jenna wanted to know WHO this guy was. I said, "Baby, I met him YESTERDAY for fifteen minutes!" She said, "Wow! You met him YESTERDAY? I thought you've known him for years!" And we talked about it a few more minutes before finally perusing the menu. What I was struck by most though, was this idea of, wouldn't it be nice if that was the default way we greeted people? Can you imagine? If infectious laughter and smiles and embraces was the default way we approached the world?
Before you get to logical on me and say, yes but if everyone did that it wouldn't be special, or that's just not how the world works, or that is cheesy, or you'll never get EVERYONE to be that way, some people are just cold.. and all the other refutes… stay with me a moment longer. Besides, when you're laughing and smiling and having a the time of your life do you ever interrupt yourself and say, "Wait a minute! This might be a problem! I might get to used to happy stuff… or there may be limited supply and I don't want to use it up. Back to seriousness."?
What if ONE person treated you that way Italian guy treated me on a daily or weekly basis? What if throughout your entire week, once a week, ONE person lit up like a Christmas tree when they saw you and greeted you with overwhelming acceptance, friendliness and joy? If all fears and concerns of judgement or what people would think went out the door… Would that make a difference in your day? In your week? For me it brightened my evening. In that moment I KNEW, without a doubt, I want more experiences like that in my life. I want to feel this good and this appreciated even more!
There is nothing like the power of a good question and nothing quite like a great question:
What if that one person was who made that difference was you? What if you were the one who people couldn't wait to see because your energy and zest was so off the charts, or pleasant to be around that more people couldn't get enough of you; and they wanted to be around you, talk to you, have fun with you.
All too often our friends and family call us or we call them and we're greeted with an, "Oh hey!" or "How are you?" Can you think of ways to break the pattern for your relationships and friendships and set a new tone of zest for being alive?
Yes we can.

High-yield bankers celebrate 'structural shift'
Europe's high-yield debt market has undergone a fundamental change, bankers say, with companies increasingly choosing to borrow from debt markets even if they could access funds from the more traditional source of banks.
The shift has helped power this year's issuance to record levels, with a high number of first-time issuers. Total activity for the year to date, at $97.7 billion, is up around 50% from the same period last year, and is ahead of the full-year total for every year before 2013, according to Dealogic.
Volumes have been bolstered by blowout issues by Numericable, Altice and Wind, which rank as the largest, sixth largest and 10th largest high-yield issues ever globally, according to Dealogic. All took place in April.
What is more significant, according to bankers, is the rise of "real economy" corporate issuers, as they switch from bank funding to the high-yield market.
Mathew Cestar, head of leveraged finance in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Credit Suisse, said: "We're very excited about the corporate market, because that is a structural shift.
"It is less related to the interest rate cycle. It is less related to the M&A cycle. It is a structural shift because the borrowing needs are moving to a different pocket of capital."
About 80% of issuance so far this year is driven by corporate borrowers, with the rest driven by private equity, according to Cestar.
The Swiss bank recently lifted its projection for European issuance to €130 billion, up from €110 billion, and versus €71 billion of issuance for the year to date.
Initially, the switch from bank to bond was driven by deleveraging, as Europe's banks cut or downsized credit lines, and chief financial officers at European companies sought to diversify their funding.
However, what began as a push has now become a pull, as corporates with open access to bank funding choose to go ahead and issue. The change will make Europe's debt market more akin to that of the US.
Fred Zorzi, joint head of global syndicate at BNP Paribas, said: "With the rates where they are, the yields where they are, the bond product is very competitive to loan market. Not long ago, issuers came to the market only if they could not find what they wanted in the loan market. Now we see guys with absolute choice going to the bond market, because there are more flexible covenants and it is longer-dated funding."
That has given bankers in the sector confidence that the boom in high-yield bond issuance is more sustainable than when the market last witnessed surges in activity in 1999 and 2006.

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
Clovis High girls basketball coach Miles Watters expects the Lady Wildcats to get their first test of the season tonight.
The defending Class 5A state champions, winners of 31 in a row and 39 of their last 40, travel south for a 7 p.m. contest against rival Portales, the defending Class 3A runnerup.
"They can get out and defend you in their 1-3-1 zone," said Watters, whose team crushed Roswell Goddard 68-35 in its opener on Tuesday at Rock Staubus Gym. "They're a team that's hard to score against."
Portales (2-0) has played in five consecutive 3A title games, winning titles in 2001, 2003 and 2004. The Lady Rams, who have beaten Carlsbad and Muleshoe so far, return most of their team from a year ago, led by 6-foot-1 post Morgan Hill and 5-10 forward Megan Kabrick, both seniors.
Hill scored 18 points and Kabrick added 12 in Tuesday's 54-26 win over the Lady Mules.
"I was happier with our second game than the first," Portales coach Brenda Gomez said. "If we just keep improving, by the time March comes along I think everything will be great."
An upset of the Lady Cats would be a big step.
"We're going to try our hardest to make it happen," Gomez said. "I feel like our kids are up for the challenge. We're just going to go out and play hard and see what happens."
Portales should be able to match up with Clovis in terms of size.
"Megan and Morgan are two of the best posts in the state," Watters said. "Megan can step out and shoot the 3, and Morgan is a good defensive player."
Gomez said she just wants her team to be able to compete.
"I think we can match up with them pretty well," she said. "Everybody has accepted their roles this year, and they're playing hard."
The teams could meet twice more this season, with Portales competing in the Lady Cats' Plateau Classic tournament scheduled Dec. 28-30 and then returning to Clovis for a regular-season matchup on Jan. 17.

January 30, 2013 —
Unlike last year, the weather has been cold enough to form ice on most bodies of water in the region, including the Big Eddy in the Upper Delaware River, where a trio of ice fisherman traveled onto the ice on January 28.
The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) says a minimum of three to four inches of solid ice is the general rule for safety. Ice thickness, however, is not uniform on any body of water, so caution should always be used. According to the DEC, two inches of solid ice will support a single person on foot, three inches will support a group in single file, and 7.5 inches will support the weight of a car. Go to www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7733.html [2] for more information.
The recommendations of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission are a bit more cautious. Their chart says two inches of ice is not safe for anything, three inches will support one cross-country skier, four are needed to support a single angler and eight inches are needed to safely support a single car. Visit fishandboat.com/water/ice_thickness.pdf for more information.
