Google's Searching for Mobile Help (Update 1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google's (GOOG) set to report fourth-quarter earnings after market close. The search giant will be keen to avoid a repeat of last quarter's gaffe, when it released its earnings early. It will also be hoping to finally deliver mobile success, driving real earnings growth.
As people increasingly turn to smartphones and tablets for their Internet needs, Google has had a difficult time trying to make money from advertising on mobile, so cost-per-click (CPC) is an important metric to watch. If Google's CPC looks like it's bottoming out, or even rising, then the company's mobile initiative is working.
Investors, however, aren't placing much faith in the company, with shares underperforming the NASDAQ in the last three months. Since Oct. 18, when it reported its third-quarter results, Google shares have gained 4.34%, compared to 4.91% for the tech-heavy NASDAQ.
data by YCharts
Last quarter, Google saw CPC fall 15% year over year and 3% quarter over quarter. Thus, earnings missed Wall Street consensus badly.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company's hoping to turn this around during the fourth quarter, and Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler believes this may be the case. "Reported CPC growth is on the verge of improving, mostly as Google comps the downtick that started back in 4Q11. Some investors use this metric as a proxy for improving mobile monetization, hence any improvement would be a positive catalyst," Sandler wrote in a research note. He rates Google shares "buy" with an $850 price target.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Google to earn $10.49 a share on $12.3 billion in revenue this quarter. That's up from a year ago, when Google earned $9.50 a share on $8.13 billion in sales, though those numbers excluded Motorola.
Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler believes that CPCs improved in the fourth quarter, as year-over-year comparisons got easier, though he expects mobile to continue to weigh on growth. Given concerns about fourth-quarter holiday spending, Google's results will be a key indicator of the health of the economy.
Though Google has a dominant market share in search, competition is heating up, most notably from Facebook (FB) , which recently announced Graph Search , as it looks to enter the lucrative search business. Google's also up against Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo! (YHOO) , but neither are serious competitors to the Google crown.
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth noted that search engine marketing (SEM) checks were mixed this quarter, but believes that CPCs and Product Listing Ads (PLAs) are strong this quarter. "4Q SEM checks were generally positive on a Y/Y basis with most agencies showing an acceleration in overall paid search growth driven by strong holiday spending, while others saw modestly softer trends due to a mix shift to int'l markets," Anmuth wrote in a note. He rates Google buy with a $802 price target.

Gun laws already exist
Editor, OBSERVER:
There have been many opinions in the Dunkirk OBSERVER in reference to gun control. What these individuals seem to forget is that there are laws on the books as we speak that all weapons can be owned by American citizens. It doesn't state one weapon is to be banned or some weapons should be banned. It says no such thing.
When any politician takes it upon him or herself to violate these laws, they are using this justification on incidents where people have been killed by a certain weapon in violation of our laws. An incident happened in California where an idiot took it upon himself to carjack an individual's car, killed the driver and then went on a killing spree on the interstate highway. Guess what he used? A shotgun.
Now should we ban all shotguns because one idiot killed several people?
Just remember one thing – guns don't kill people; kill people, guns are just handy. So are bombs, dynamite, clubs, knives etc. Get the picture?
I know one thing – politicians do things so they look good in the eyes of the public, especially when they want to run for president. Remember all guns are protected by our laws, not just one or two types.

Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
A day with the snowplow drivers
As the writer of these weekly articles on traffic law and safety, sometimes I get to do interesting things. On Dec. 27, the day the Malone area received 13 inches of new snow (the most since a 14-inch storm in April, 2010), I spent most of the day riding with our local snowplow drivers not the pickup trucks plowing driveways and parking lots, but with the state Department of Transportation plowing state highways and with the Town of Malone plowing town roads. The purpose of this was to get a prospective on just how difficult a highway snowplow driver's job really is, how motorists add to the difficulty of the job, and to give readers a brief insight to what plowing highways entails.
The storm began just after midnight that night and snowed until about 10 p.m. that night. I began my day shortly after 8 a.m. with the DOT and highway foreman Eric Wood, who arranged for me to ride with Shaun Reville, a veteran of about 12 years with the state. His route is U.S. 11 from the intersection with Finney Blvd. to the Burke Town garage, which includes downtown Malone with multiple lanes and many sidewalk bump outs.
During winter, DOT normally utilizes two shifts: 4 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 to 9 p.m. However, during lengthy snowstorms, they work 12-hour shifts around the clock. As we pulled out of the garage on Constable St., Shaun dropped the plows (main plow and wing). As it was snowing heavily, there was plenty of snow to plow. Traffic was very light because of the intensity of the storm.
On Main St. we plowed the inside lanes first and then the outside lanes. Out of town toward Burke, we plowed the driving lanes on our first trip, then the shoulders on our second trip. Shaun drove at about 33 mph, enabling him to "throw" the snow some distance from the highway, keeping the depth of the snowplow banks to a minimum.
Because it was snowing so hard, Shaun did not apply rock salt to the highway that would be done after the intensity of the storm lessened. When temperatures are below 15 to 20 degrees, calcium chloride is sprayed on the salt as it is discharged from the truck. This enables the salt to work in colder conditions. Of interest, before the storm began, DOT crews applied brine to the bare roads. This is done to prevent the bonding of the snow to the pavement, which allows for achieving bare pavement soon after the storm ends.
Back in town, we then plowed the parking areas of Main St. The bump outs forced the truck to pull around these obstacles. It also meant Shaun had to keep close eyes on drivers just behind the plow before pulling around the bump outs.
My afternoon began at the Town of Malone garage. Highway superintendent Tom Shanty introduced me to plow driver Rick Yelle. His (our) route that day was in the northeast part of the town, including the following roads: Muzzy, Donohue, Stacy, Junction, Houndsville, Whitten, and Valley. Plowing town roads is quite different from state highways. Town road plowing involves much backing up, and the roads are much narrower. It involves keeping intersections clear, rather than just plowing past another road and dumping snow on it.
Whereas the state trucks go for miles without raising or lowering the plows, the town operators are dropping and raising the blades at every intersection. To give me a taste of this, Rick allowed me to work both the plows near the end of my day with him. And, before you wonder, I did not hit any mailboxes.
Putting together my two travel experiences, I have a far better appreciation of the job these guys do, something too many motorists take for granted. Consider this: they drive a heavy, large truck, equipped with a huge front plow and a wing plow. The length of this vehicle, including the plow, is 35 to 40 feet, and the width with the wing plow is about 14 feet. They must drive this equipment in the worst of weather conditions, including poor visibility, while contending with other traffic, parked cars, rural mail boxes, guide rails, ditches, pedestrians, and residents shoveling or blowing out their driveways. And they do this for eight to 12 straight hours or more. Keeping roads passable during a storm is considered emergency operations and therefore snowplow operators do not fall under the limit of consecutive hours allowed for commercial drivers.
The DOT and the town of Malone plow with one man in the truck. This person must drive, operate the plows, and apply salt or sand. Talk about multi-tasking.
So, here is the wish list that snowplow drivers have for other motorists. First and most important, please don't be so impatient. Give these guys a chance to get the roads in the condition that you want them in. Be more considerate, and give them the respect they deserve. If you meet a plow, give it plenty of room – the plow will likely be slightly across the center line or the center of the road. Never pull up behind a stopped plow, its next move may be to back up. If you are ahead of a plow and you are traveling slower than it is, don't just pull over – go to the next side road or parking area and pull off. If you just pull over, the plow will have to go around you, leaving that section of the road unplowed.
If you are about to enter a street or road and see a snowplow approaching, let it pass – don't pull out in front of it. A steady speed is best for plowing, don't interrupt that. And, don't get so impatient if you get in a line of traffic following the plow. The operator has an important job to do – you won't be inconvenienced for long.

Just call Billy Grimm the Pied Piper of Cult.
On the new CW series, premiering Monday, Feb 17 at 8/7c, Robert Knepper plays actor Roger Reeves who is playing cult leader Billy Grimm on the show-within-the-show called Cult. Matt Davis stars as Jeff, a journalist who is prompted to investigate the rabid fans of the show when his brother goes missing.
In our exclusive promo, scenes from both the show and the show-within-the-show are intertwined as actor Alan Dale reads the words to the Robert Browning poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." Just as the piper was said to have caused the death of the town's children, it seems that Grimm - and perhaps Reeves - are responsible for the show's mysterious deaths as well.

Some of my favorites ...
#14 Cleveland St over #3 Indiana (1986)
Many credit this game with popularizing the plight of the little guy after the tournie went to 64 teams. I was 9, but a huge hoops fan. One of the most memorable losses I remember as a kid was seeing CSU lose to David Robinson and Navy 71-70 for the right to go to the final 8. I remember racing home from a city league hoops game and sitting about an inch from the TV for this one. CSU also beat a good St Joes team in the middle.
#14 Weber State over #3 North Carolina (1999)
Harold "The Show" Arceneaux. Nuff said.
#13 Princeton over #4 UCLA (1996)
Pete Carill's last game. 43-41 final. The picket fence, and reverse layup by Gabe Lewuelis at the buzzer to win it. Epic.
#13 Valparaiso over #4 Mississippi (1998)
Bryce Drew's three, then face first slide into the floor. With his old man coaching. And in a back and forth classic battle that the whole country was tuned into for the majority of the 2nd half.
#15 Hampton over #2 Iowa State (2001)
Iowa State was all the rage in '01, then went out and got waxed by Hampton 1st rd. That fat slob coach for Hampton going NUTS, kicking his legs while being hoisted by one of his players. IIRC, Hampton also beat Georgetown next rd to get to the 16.
#15 Santa Clara over #2 Arizona (1991)
The world gets to meet Steve Nash. Zona was a top 5 team all year and a fave to win it all. One of just a handful of 15 seeds to win.
#15 Richmond over #2 Syracuse (1989)
Richmond was the 1st 15 seed ever to win, and the Cuse was a great team (Billy Owens) coming off the Keith Smart loss in the Finals.

Dr. Esther Brimmer serves as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs.
I'm delighted to return to the Department of State and to join the team working to advance American interests through the United Nations system, the Bureau of International Organization Affairs. This is my first week on the job, and I've been quite busy getting acquainted or reacquainted with the men and women of the Department. I'm looking forward to my new role helping this administration restore the position of the United States in world affairs and address the transnational challenges currently facing the world today. I've been interested in the UN since I was a student. In college, I led a delegation to the Model United Nations of the Far West. I learned much about the collective power of mutual respect, vision, humility and most of all, hard work, in multilateral affairs. Then, and now, these are the values I hope to bring to the bureau and the Department as I work in the administration over the next four years, toward addressing the world's major challenges through the United Nations system. Thank you.

I think the department is in good hands with You, furthering the United State's involvement around the world.
I think you have a bright future with the States Department.

Multi-lateralism.....reinvigorate the global conversation and strengthen the United Nations Charter. Engage member states in peaceful solutions to the problem's of We the People....Acheive the MDG's....
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
One of the obvious problems with the UN is that it is seen by people of other nations as "working to advance American interests", rather than a place where member nations can work together to advance their own interests.
The UN should be a place where representatives of nations can meet to work out their problems without the U.S. becoming part of every solution.
The fact that the UN is located on American soil is enough to create suspicion that it exists primarily for advancing American interests, without anyone having to explicitly announce our intent to govern the world.
Does our government suffer from extreme ethnocentrism or are we willing to allow other countries to reach solutions of their own?
Do we have to "harmonize" America with Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, or can we allow these regions to remain self-governing and far different from us in their cultures, languages, and laws?

Your selection (topic) has been submitted. We appreciate your help.
One paragraph in the first edition of Hard to Believe contained a glaring error that has the potential to mislead readers about the book's whole intent. The problematic passage is the opening paragraph of chapter 6 (page 93), which seems to suggest that salvation is the fruit of godly living. The truth is exactly the opposite.
That error was inadvertently introduced into the manuscript in the late stages of the editorial process. Phil Johnson has been John MacArthur's primary editor for more than twenty-seven years. He helps him assemble most of his major books from sermon transcripts.Hard to Believe is one of only three or four books since 1981 that Phil Johnson had no part in during the editorial process. At the publisher's behest, the editor of that book was a free-lance editor with no connection to our ministry. He was a highly competent man whose editorial skills are impressive and whose work is generally excellent. He assembled and edited the first draft of Hard to Believe.John MacArthur read the manuscript, made revisions and corrections, and was generally pleased with the editor's efforts. Phil Johnson read a few samples only and agreed that the portions he read were excellent.However, some reviewers on the publisher's side felt there was too much repetition in the book and that it was too long. So during a meeting to discuss final details about the book just before it went to press, the publisher decided to delete four chapters from the heart of the manuscript.John MacArthur agreed to the deletions, assuming it would be a simple process. The problem was that the original opening of (what is now) chapter 6 referred to some of the material that was deleted. So the chapter-opening was rewritten to make a different transition. To this day no one at Grace to You knows if it was an editor on the publisher's side or the free-lance editor who rewrote that opening paragraph. No one ever wanted to "fess up."But somehow, owing to the late deletion and the need to keep printing on schedule, the revision (deemed "simple" by the editors involved because it was less than 8 sentences) was never sent to John MacArthur for approval. Obviously, the paragraph was written by someone whose grasp of doctrine is minimal.That botched paragraph contradicts what John MacArthur teaches everywhere else about justification by faith (click here). In fact, John immediately issued a corrective statement and sent a revision to the publisher for future editions of Hard to Believe (click here).

Blister pack hard on skin at thumbnail
Posted by Reviewer2085750 on Jun 04, 2011
I have purchased two different boxes of the Probiotics of which the probiotic I do find helpful. An unfortunate thing is that twice when I press through the blister pack it was sharp enough to tear between my thumbnail and skin. I have reasonably strong skin. I think this is a serious design flaw that could actually endanger unhealthy people with poor circulation to their finger tips. I do hope they change it. I have written them about it. I have used blister packs all my life and no supplement or even drug has hurt my thumb as much as this. I have to be v-e-r-y alert every time I take one.
Dr. Ohhira's, Essential Formulas Inc., Probiotics 12 Plus Professional
Posted by Reviewer2002990 on Aug 10, 2009
We felt like we needed to add a probiotic to our "regime" for good health. Neither my Husband or I suffered from any acute or terminal digestive disorders upon starting this product. It seemed to have great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. The probiotic seems fine. We haven't noticed a change in our digestion or bowel movements--good or bad. Then again, we didn't have any complaints to begin with. I think I may go with a cheaper probiotic for our next course, though this one seemed very satisfactory.
I Really Wanted to Like This One…
Posted by HawaiianViking on Jan 10, 2013
I really wanted to like this product, but I don't. I've found it to be mostly ineffectual. For quite some time, I've been using Icelandic probiotics cultured in dairy milk and that's worked very well for me, but I decided to try this because of the amazing praise Dr. Ohhira's products have received on iHerb. It may be due to my own body chemistry or some completely unknown factor, but I found that Dr. Ohhira's, Essential Formulas Inc., Probiotics did nothing for me, and at over $50, it's far, far too much money to spend on products that do not live up to their hype.
a slight disappointment
Posted by sweetheart on Jul 23, 2012
I haven't felt any different when taking these but on the other hand I always feel the same I guess. I like the fact that the product is real quality and that's why I ordered these. I think I'll switch back to cheaper products since these didn't really work any better than them.
Posted by Reviewer1268836 on Sep 12, 2009
may have helped my husbands rosacea a bit.
Good product
Posted by 5264751442694442820 on Jul 13, 2014
I have used these probiotics for a few weeks and they seem to be working well. I dont think they are any better than the Heathforce Nutritionals, Friendly Force - Ultimate Probiotic Powder though so I think I will go back to that one once I've finished the Dr Ohhira's. I'd say they work about the same but these ones are more expensive.
Posted by 5019701358254416478 on Nov 13, 2014
I think they are a very good product, however I have not been using them long enough to tell if they are making a difference. I do, however, intend to continue using them as I have a poor immune function and I think they will help.
Did not work so well for me.
Posted by Reviewer1722478 on Nov 06, 2008
It is expensive and I think my body does not benefit form it at the moment. I will try again when my gut is restored- and my candida cleared... Monica - London
Didn't make a difference
Posted by Reviewer3203281 on Aug 01, 2016
I wanted to try these probiotics after reading such fantastic reviews but I didn't notice any difference after taking them for 3 weeks unfortunately. The ingredients do seem very good quality so I didn't want to rate the product too low... I'll be returning to favourite probiotic Garden of Life Primal Defense next time :-)
No obvious side effects

Taken 2/3 of the capsules, didn't experience much side effect.

Local Briefs
Shooting in Minot area early Saturday
In the early hours of Saturday morning, Minot police received a report of a vehicle that was being followed by a couple of vehicles. The individuals in the two vehicles were throwing items at the individual in the other vehicle.
According to a Minot police news release, police were informed a short time later that the driver of the targeted vehicle, a 19-year-old male, was going to the emergency room for an injury sustained in the incident. When officers arrived, they learned that the vehicle had been shot multiple times and the 19-year-old male driver had suffered a non-life threatening gun shot wound just below his left eye.
Upon further investigation, Tegan Lamotte, 18, Minot, was arrested and charged with four counts of terrorizing, four counts of reckless endangerment, and four counts of conspiracy to attempted murder.
The investigation is continuing.
FEMA housing numbers continue to drop
Just one month into 2013, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that the number of temporary housing units still occupied in Ward County has fallen to 476.
There are only 79 FEMA units still on private property in the Souris Valley, down from a high of nearly 1,100. In addition, 25 units are still occupied at DeSour Valley Heights in Burlington and 298 are occupied at Virgil Workman Village, just east of Minot. The remaining 74 occupied units are at four manufactured home parks in the area.
As of Jan. 31, FEMA has finalized 50 sales of units to the occupants. Purchasing the unit they are living in is one of several options that displaced residents have in securing permanent housing. FEMA continues to meet with residents on a monthly basis to assist them with developing a long-term housing plan, and those meetings will continue until FEMA's housing mission concludes in June 2013.
Assault on a peace officer in the ER
A Minot man was arrested Saturday by Minot police for assaulting a peace officer.
According to a Minot police news release, during the early morning hours on Saturday, Ian Singer, 33, was arrested for driving under the influence and other charges. Singer, 33, was taken to the Trinity Hospital laboratory to have his blood drawn. While at the hospital, Singer became combative and started to fight with officers while they were attempting to place him in handcuffs. During the struggle, Singer managed to get a hand free and threw his elbow, striking one of the officers in the eye. Singer was charged with assault on a peace officer, a Class C felony.

For the third year in a row, all area school districts approved their budgets. Most budgets easily passed. All area school districts were able to keep their budgets under the proposed tax cap. The last time school budgets failed locally was in 2010, when Brocton and Fredonia voters rejected their budgets that year.
The Brocton Central School District voters turned out to approve the budget by about a three-to-one margin. The actual vote was 189 in favor to 66 against. The proposed budget totaled $15,298,333 for the 2013-2014 school year.
The tax levy was a 1.99 percent increase over last year's levy.
Three individuals ran for two open seats on the Board of Education. Beth Jagoda received the most support with 183 votes, closely followed by Robert Mead-Colegrove who received 181 votes. Jagoda and Mead-Colegrove will fill the seats vacated by Susan Hardy and David Hazelton, who decided not to run for re-election. James Farrell received 80 votes.
Commenting on the budget vote, Superintendent John Hertlein said, "I am relieved by the results. We can move ahead for next year."
At the board of education meeting following the vote, Hertlein thanked all those who worked on the budget. He said, "It was a fair budget, an honest budget, and it will sustain us for another year."
He also indicated he was hoping for a favorable outcome on the merger vote which could help with finances and allow a consolidated district to restore programs for the students.
Jagoda and Mead-Colegrove indicated eagerness to serve on the board. Both said they were pleased with the education their children are receiving.
Jagoda said, "I am looking forward to working with the community and the district. I want our children to receive the best education they can get."
Mead-Colegrove said, "I am excited to work with the board and the community to ensure that our children continue to get a good education."
At Cassadaga Valley Central School, the general budget in the amount of $19,967,698 was approved by 232 to 82 votes.
The district also had a second proposition on the ballot. By the margin of 219 to 88, voters approved the purchase of two new 60-passenger buses, one 22-passenger bus, and one Chevrolet Suburban at an aggregate estimated cost of $306,000.
In the election for school board, incumbent Jeanne Oag of Gerry received 233 votes. She ran unopposed for a five-year term. Daniel Pavlock of Sinclairville received 165 and was elected to a two-year term on the board.
The Chautauqua Lake Central School Board's budget passed with 222 votes cast in favor and 77 votes opposed for the $19.5 million budget. The budget included a tax levy increase of 3.72 percent, the maximum amount allowed under the tax cap calculation, equating to a $410,000 increase.
In the race for two seats on the board of education, both incumbents retained their seats. Timothy Hull won the first seat with 195 votes while Kim Weborg-Benson won the second with 179 votes. Newcomer Mary Lee Talbot finished in a close third with 173 votes. Each seat has a three-year term.
Residents of the Dunkirk City School District passed the 2013-2014 budget 318 votes to 66.
Superintendent Gary Cerne said he was happy voters passed the budget, which maintained a flat tax levy for the sixth year in a row, but was hoping for a larger turnout.
"It's an exciting time (when the budget passes), but I am a little disappointed with the turnout," he said.
Cerne noted Dunkirk is one of the few districts adding staff. He said the district is able to hire four full-time teachers in the middle school through a grant.
He said salaries and benefits made the budget a challenge, but the early retirement incentive, which resulted in nine CSEA and eight teacher retirements, helped the district balance the budget.
Voters also elected incumbents Kenneth Kozlowski and Linda Guy to three-year terms on the board of education with 294 and 288 votes respectively and Bridget Majka was elected to a one-year term with 280 votes.
The board met after the votes were tallied to approve the budget vote and election. At the meeting the board also approved another early retirement incentive. Cerne said this is identical to the previous incentive and was approved because of additional interest in the program which could equate to savings for the district in the 2014-2015 budget.
Board members will be sworn into office at the July 3 organizational meeting July 3 at 5:30 p.m. in the Large Group Instruction room.
The Forestville Central School budget of $8.4 million passed with 171 yes votes and 67 no votes.
The proposition to purchase buses and a van for 210,000 passed with 168 votes in favor and 69 opposed.
Incumbent Board Member Bruce Ellis ran for re-election to the board unopposed and received 194 votes.
"We are pleased with this result which is a reflection of the great support we have from our community," Superintendent Charles Leichner said. "I want to thank our board of education and our administration for the work they have done to develop a budget that is both responsible and forward-thinking."
The Fredonia Central School Board's budget passed with 527 votes cast in favor and 398 votes opposed. Moderate applause filled the school's cafeteria as the results were read.
"Of course I'm very pleased that the budget has passed," said Fredonia School Superintendent Paul DiFonzo. "I want to thank our community, the taxpayers, for supporting the budget. I know it's very challenging; we have many people on fixed incomes, but our community recognizes the value of a good education program for students and I think they realize we've tried to be fiscally responsible."
"We're just happy that it has passed and we can move on with our budget and our plans for the next school year," said Rosie Joy, President of the Board. "Everything will stay in place as the budget goes as it was presented to the community."
Roberta Coniglio won re-election to another five-year term on the board with 712 votes cast in favor. Coniglio ran unopposed in the election.
The Gowanda Central School District's budget passed with a vote of 217 to 103. The budget totaled $27,338,487 and was a 3.99 increase over the previous year. The tax levy was proposed as a 3.03 percent increase over the previous years.
The voters also voted on a proposition for the purchase of vehicles. Voters approved by a vote of 224 to 90 for the district to purchase two 66-passenger buses and one 29-passenger bus to not exceed the amount of $273,931. The district will trade in six larger buses and one smaller vehicle.
Voters also were voting to fill two vacant Board of Education seats. Incumbent R. Ann Martindale and Lynn Guzzetta were running. Martindale received 223 votes and Guzzetta received 260 votes, respectively.
The North Collins Central School Board's budget passed with 134 votes in favor and 81 votes opposed.
A proposition to purchase a new school bus and pick-up truck with a plow also passed with 149 votes in favor and 65 votes opposed. The purchase is to be made using money from the bus reserve and is not to exceed $220,000.
In the uncontested race for a five-year term to succeed Richard Foster on the board, Tammy Winter won with 179 votes.
The Pine Valley Central School budget passed with a vote of 180 to 104. The total budget for the 2013-2014 year totals $15,019,537 which is a 2.7 percent increase. The tax levy this year was a 3 percent increase, the first time in eight years the district has raised taxes.
Voters approved the elimination of a UPK mid-day bus run, extending the UPK program to full day and eliminating a bus monitor for that route. Included in the budget was also the elimination of .6 FTE custodial position and a reduction of the amount of sections of kindergarten from three sections to two. Grades 4 and 5 will have one section reduced.
Voters also approved the purchase of three vehicles not to exceed $336,538 by a vote of 159 to 125. The purchase will have an initial finance cost for approximately $55,000 in 2014-2015 school year. Voters also passed by a vote of 197 to 82 to have a non-voting student representative on the Board of Education.
Four candidates were running for three open seats on the Board of Education. Incumbents Lawrence Zollinger received 234 votes, Jo Ann Anderson received 209 votes and Janie Waag received 170 votes and were all elected. Newcomer Angelo Graziano received 136 votes.
The Ripley Central School Board's budget passed with 205 votes cast in favor and 113 votes opposed.
A proposition for the purchase of buses and equipment from the vehicle reserve also passed with 204 votes cast in favor and 115 opposed.
Paul McCutcheon, who ran in an uncontested race for a three-year term on the Board, won with 211 votes cast in favor. In the race for a contested Board seat, Frederick Krause won re-election with 177 votes cast in favor of him. Wanda Bentley came in second with 141 votes cast in favor of her.
The Silver Creek School budget passed with 260 votes in favor and 110 votes opposed.
The district also had two propositions on the ballot. Proposition #2 to approve $118,978 in vehicle purchases from the capital reserve passed with 270 yes votes and 110 no votes. Proposition #3 to create a new capital reserve fund for up to $850,000 also passed with 248 yes votes and 105 no votes.
Incumbent Board of Education Member Gregory Cole was elected to a five-year term with 257 votes and Stephen Boothe was elected to a one-year term with 236.
Superintendent Daniel Ljiljanich said he is proud of the work that was done on the budget and believes the passage of the budget shows residents value education.
"I am really proud of all the work the administrative staff and the board of education did together in the budget process. I think (passing the budget shows) in Silver Creek we have a tax base that values education and taxes," he said.
The board will meet tonight at 7 p.m. in the board room to certify the budget votes and election and for a regular meeting.
In Westfield, the budget was approved with 159 votes in favor and 64 votes opposed.

Caption, "Vabia, alias John Sawyer, Meluca [Mafuka] of Malembo [Malemba] and One of his Wives". Wife on the left, holding an infant; the bearded Vabia on the right is making a mat. Malemba/Malembo, north of the Congo river on the "Loango coast" of present-day Angola, became a major slave trading station of the KaKongo people by the 18th century. The Mafuka (Mafouk, Mafuk) was the offical charged with the overall management of the trade (see P. Martin, The External Trade of the Loango Coast, 1576-1870 [Oxford, 1972]). The NMM description of this image notes that "John Sawyer is employed making a mat & lamenting the decline of the slave trade. 25 June 1855." Also noted is that the British Foreign Office estimated that Malemba exported some 27,000 slaves between 1817 and 1843. However, by the date of this illustration the trade had declined considerably, impoverishing many of the officials who had profited from it.

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. "
The Golf Club at Briar's Creek
A languid, expansive quality pervades South Carolina Lowcountry marsh and it's on display at the Golf Club at Briar's Creek.
The 900-acre property sits in the middle of classic Intracoastal wetlands, 18 miles southwest of downtown Charleston. Massive live oaks drape the approach road, and even when you're on the site you feel as if the land hasn't changed in a hundred years. That's because the Rees Jones-designed golf course exists in its own world, unencumbered by housing and with long views of nothing but fertile swamp grass, marshland and tidal estuary.
With six tees on every hole, the par-72 layout can play anywhere from 4,818 yards up to 7,117. Good thing, too, what with wetlands hazards lapping in along and across many of the holes, nowhere with more drama and heart-pounding effect than on the par-3 17th hole, which plays from 115 yards up to 235 yards across the hazard to a bulkheaded island of a putting surface.
Bike paths, hiking trails, lakes and creek beds enable members and guests here to enjoy an abundance of wildlife at the state's first Certified Audubon Signature Sanctuary. And an elegant, understated shingle-style clubhouse and guest cottages present a rustic focal point to a property where the golf seems to rise out of the mist each morning and settle back in each night.

Mary and Chuck Reagan sell postcards to fund their journey across America in a covered wagon. Any money left over will go toward opening an equine rescue facility after the trip.

America via Mule team
Couple traverses country in covered wagon; discover kindness of strangers
Chuck and Mary Reagan aren't in any hurry to get to California. So they've been on the road in their 100-year-old covered wagon with their two horses, two mules, two dogs and last two dollars for more than two years. The Reagans made a stopover in Payson Monday, resting their flock at Payson Feed before continuing on to Prescott, the Grand Canyon and eventually the coast of California. Traveling at the top three-miles-an-hour speed of a cockroach, it has taken the couple a few more years than they planned to reach their end goal. They told one reporter in early 2010 they planned to travel from their home base in Crab Orchard, Ky. to Butte County, Calif. by November 2010. Now Chuck said he hopes to make it there by November — of this year, a tidy two years behind schedule. On the road, a few hiccups slowed the couple's progress, including a broken axle and a switchover from wooden wagon wheels to modern tires.

Milan's fashion scene is known for its luxurious labels, but there are also many smaller, historical boutiques. Where would you shop while in the city?
from: £38 each-way from: London, Apr 2017Book
Milan is Italy's fashion capital and, although it is a small city, it is undoubtedly the centre of Italian creativity. You can find anything here, from a rare vintage piece to the latest collections, just by walking around the city centre.
During Fashion Week, being in Milan is like being on a giant catwalk, as models run from one show to another. You'll also spot the business brains behind the labels as well as bloggers and journalists. It's like stepping into a moving fashion magazine.
We get some insider tips on where to splash out or find the latest looks in one of Europe's most stylish cities.
Mariano di Vaio is an Italian model and actor with a street style blog, MDVStyle.com.
Antonioli focuses on high-end, luxury womenswear and menswear, both clothing and accessories. Its extremely talented buyers pick the brands and pieces according to trends and quality. Their choices are unpredictable: think Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, Gareth Pugh, Haider Ackermann and Maison Martin Margiela.
Massimo Giorgetti's first own-brand store recently opened in Milan on Via Ponte Vetero, carrying both women's and men's collections, plus accessories. Here the designer gives us the opportunity of diving into his eclectic world of prints and colours. Definitely worth visiting.
Antonia is a must-see shop in Milan and one of the most famous multi-brand boutiques in Italy. It has lots of variety and sells all the most important Italian and international brands, starting from Louboutin and finishing at Bottega Veneta by way of Saint Laurent and Missoni. Contemporary style rules.
A small shop named after the famous German architect Joost Schmidt. Just as he created his designs according to the strict rules of the Bauhaus school, the Joost brand caters to the needs of the modern man and the aesthetic concept of understatement, avoiding any excess and respecting the unique style that distinguishes products made in Italy from the rest.
Norrmode went from selling various Scandinavian brands (its name means 'northern fashion') to showcasing worldwide designers from Australia, Brazil and the USA. The manager, Francesca, introduces new collections every 15 days, so customers are always able to experience a fresh vision of global fashion.
This is the most important concept store in Milan. If you don't have time for a full shopping tour of Milan, you can get a taste of it in one visit to La Rinascente. Recently there has been a revolution in the buying here, with more attention to new designers and trends.
The Excelsior building was a cinema before being turned into a megastore spread over seven floors in 2011. It's a treasure trove for everything from fashion to technology, jewellery and food. The fashion department is selected by Antonia boutique, so research and knowledge of trends is guaranteed. They sell Louboutin, Golden Goose (which I love), Nike, Givenchy, Tibi, Isabel Marant and many more.
Borsalino has a long history of hat making. A hat is an essential part of your wardrobe, but especially if you're in Milan. The new shop recently opened in Via Sant'Andrea in Milan's fashion quarter.
A suit by Corneliani is a must for well-dressed gentlemen. Just visit this shop, let them take your measurements and choose your colour and material. Your suit will then be made in Mantua (where this family business has been tailoring since 1958) and three weeks later it will be sent to your home.
Brunello Cucinelli speaks the language of cashmere. The designer sells high quality and modern designs for both men and women and this boutique has strong Umbrian origins, just like me. How could I not recommend it to you?
Il Salumaio is a great part of Milan's history in the quadrilatero della moda (fashion quarter). There is a beautiful courtyard inside where it is very pleasant to sit on sunny days. Visit for a stylish lunch – it's perfect for taking a break and relaxing whilst also tasting true Italian cooking in the unique environment of the Palazzo Bagatti Valsecchi.
If you have just visited the Antonia boutique, seafood restaurant Da Claudio is a welcoming and convenient place for a meal. The ground floor shop displays all the fresh seafood, which you can taste then and there. On the second floor is the restaurant, where you can treat yourself to a quality seafood dinner, with a lovely view of Milan's Brera district.
Qor is my favourite place in Milan, a restaurant that serves great quality and creative sushi. Many celebrities and footballers are regular customers. I spend hours laughing and enjoying myself in this place, while eating uramaki (inside out rolls) and salmon tartare with the owners, Bin and Cinzia. I highly recommend their gunkan and 'cosmopolitan' and 'capesante' nigiris. Trust me.
Relax with a drink in the beautiful Bar Martini, a collaboration between thoroughly Italian brands Martini and Dolce & Gabbana. You walk through an entire garden and enter a new dimension with totally black décor: the only colourful spot is a red dragon on the floor. You don't even have to stop shopping – the bar is located inside Dolce & Gabbana's menswear boutique.
Typical Italian osteria La Vecchia Lira offers the true taste of Italian cuisine in Milan's most Bohemian area. The owner, Eugenio, carefully selects the meat and the chef uses it in traditional dishes with a dash of his unique creativity. I recommend the filetto lardellato and the 'erotic' potatoes. Once you try them you won't be able to come to the city without stopping in.

I'm new to tea and am wanting to try some Puer. As bewildering the array of greens, whites, blacks, etc is, Puer seems more so. I finally found a place that has some affordable Pu' and its even located in the states (Puerhshop.) So, are there any Pu's that you guys can recommend, or any guidelines for starting spots? I'm looking to keep it under $30 or even under $20 if possible (least to start with.)
Thanks alot,

Extreme Movers: Alternative-Energy Skyrockets
Extremes in nature equal ends produce; in man they join to some mysterious use.
-- Alexander Pope
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With just a short week and a half left of trading for 2012, it is instructive to analyze what's happening to various parts of the market as money positions for the new year. Deeper clarity on the Fiscal Cliff is under way, and money can now plan accordingly for the next four years post U.S. elections. In addition, European markets have been on fire, improving confidence and increasing risk-taking. Momentum on the upside has countered the negative narrative that has been pervasive all year.
So how is price positioning now? Every week I run a screen on the more than 1,000 ETFs/ETNs I track to identify those areas of the investable landscape that are exhibiting extreme price behavior relative to their own respective 20-day moving averages. The idea is to see if there is a message happening beneath the surface of the market by looking at the opposite ends of winners and losers spectrum over a rolling one-month period. Take a look below for the latest results.
The Extreme Winners this week are primarily in the alternative energy space with the Guggenheim Solar ETF (TAN) , Global X Uranium ETF (URA) , PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio ETF (PBW) , Market Vectors Nuclear Energy ETF (NLR) and the Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy ETF (GEX) all among the best performers in the past 20 trading days relative to their respective moving averages. Looking at the charts of many of these ETFs, it is clear the market re-evaluated its bearishness on the alternative-energy space once Obama got re-elected, presumably due to a more alternative-energy friendly environment under his administration.
As to the Extreme Losers, it is more of a mixed bag. At the most extreme is the United States Natural Gas Fund LP ETF (UNG) , with the iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) , Market Vectors TR Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) getting hit the most. The weakness coinciding with a breakdown in bonds, like the iShares Barclays 20 Year Treasury Bond Fund ETF (TLT) , suggests that this is more due to a flight away from perceived safety trades, rather than due to anything more fundamental on the precious metals front.
The bottom line? The market appears to have quickly re-adjusted to alternative energy stock prospects following the mid-November low, and money appears to be continuing its rotation out of perceived safety trades. I suspect a recovery in gold and silver, however, will occur as money treats precious metals less like bonds, and more like cyclically sensitive investments that would benefit in a global risk-on environment for emerging economies. Either way, momentum in the near term seems to be favoring alternative energy the most.

Building on the State Department's global efforts to empower women and girls, WNBA stars Tamika Catchings and Ebony Hoffman are in Thailand this week to engage the next generation of women and girls.
Tamika Catchings says, "When you get on the court it does not really matter what language you speak. I mean it's a universal language."
Through this public-private partnership with the National Basketball Association and the Women's National Basketball Association, Catchings and Hoffman will take the lessons of Title IX -- opportunity and equality -- to Bangkok where they will engage more than 100 female athletes aged 12-15 years old.
"The girls had a huge smile on their face. They were very enthusiastic. They listened, they executed, they played hard and gave their all," says Ebony Hoffman.
Based on the evidence that girls who play sports are more likely to attend school, Catchings and Hoffman are going beyond the basketball court to spark dialogue and greater understanding and inspire them to pursue their potential -- on the court, in the classroom, and in society.
"I think with the Title IX celebrating its 40th year, we opened the doors in America and really we are trying to do the same across the globe," says Tamika Catchings.
Get updates from the road and follow along on Twitter as Tamika Catchings and Ebony Hoffman work to engage, inspire, and empower women and girls in Thailand.

By Lorraine the Okie Mom

About Me Parent
Best Uses
Comments about Educational Insights Teacher Tote-All™:
I bought this 5+ yrs ago at a homeschool convention, and it's been my workhorse ever since. I have been pretty hard on it, and except for a few small pieces that have broken off,..plastic chunks of no consequence, it is STILL serving me well. I am out of homeschooling, but I have used it for EVERYTHING... and is always a staple to contain my "keep busy" stuff and various assundries, including my computer bag, on long car trips. It goes with me every time I travel. I have just purchased a new one at another homeschool convention, b/c I like my first one so well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Handle Broke
By Kathy Q
from Chicago, IL
About Me Education Oriented, Parent
I used this for work as I transport stuff from one training class to another. The handle broke (would not go down) and now is useless since I cannot fit in into the trunk of my car. I had other ones that have lasted much longer than this one did (less than 4 months). I would never buy this again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Oh Kathy, sounds like your Teacher Tote-All has been totaled! Please look for an email from us shortly.

Topic: Legacy DB "Zero" dates
There is an application that I'm working on, where the original developers made a date column in the database called 'checked_out', and made the default value be '0000-00-00'. Large portions of the existing application then check to see if the check out date is this value, if so then it has never been checked out, if not then it has the checkout date.
The problem I'm running into is that this is an invalid date, so Ruby can't generate a corresponding date. This is fine when editing, as the Date object just parses it as nil and I can work with that. However on creating a new object, I can't seem to get the system to fill the field with the default value, as rails trys to pass it null, and the field can't have a null value. Further, in order for the data to function properly with the existing application it needs to make the new items have a date of '0000-00-00'.
Any ideas?

Walz hosts 'Conservation Potluck'
NEW ULM – U.S. Rep. Tim Walz and area conservation activists hosted a "Conservation Potluck" event Wednesday at Riverside Park to discuss issues impacting waterways and natural resources.
The casual event featured people sharing food and giving impromptu presentations on favorite conservation issues. Walz brought his "Hermann the German Hot Dish," which won U.S. Sen. Al Franken's hotdish competition this year. He spent the time just prior to the event fishing in the Minnesota River with his son.
Walz spoke about the tremendous gains made in bringing back wildlife and improving water quality in Minnesota rivers. He said these developments should spur people to push harder on achieving gains in conservation issues, and to reject the false dichotomy that conservation goals are in conflict with agriculture goals.
Hosting the potluck was part of Walz's work as vice chair of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus. These groups are working to quantify the roughly $150 billion generated annually by hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities that take advantage of natural resources.
Showing that these activities are economic engines on the same level of organizations like the Mayo Clinic will help identify their impact in different regions, Walz said. Pushing for important conservation and sustainability goals in this context is easier to sell to other lawmakers and demonstrates the broad coalition that support this work.
"We need to make the argument that conservation is more than what you do when you have the luxury to afford it. We need to make the conversation that [conservation] is a main event, an economic engine," said Walz.
A major topic brought up by other speakers was restarting work on the recently established National Blueways System, which designates major rivers and watersheds that cross multiple geographic and jurisdictional boundaries. The designation is part of the America's Great Outdoors Initiative. It provides local organizations along the related river a commitment and access to collaborations with federal agencies that offer assistance in goals for the waterway.
However, the activities recently stalled in Missouri and Arkansas after organizations successfully lobbied for the designation's repeal. The movement against the designation came out of concerns about the impact on property rights, despite the program being entirely voluntary and carrying language explicitly stating there was no authority over personal property.
Green Corridor Initiative Program Managers Bob Cobb, Coalition for a Clean Minnesota River Executive Director Scott Sparlin and former state representative Ted Suss urged people to advocate for a Blueways designation for the Minnesota River watershed to help regionally and potentially restart the program. They emphasized that people should focus on clearly explaining what the programs actually does and highlighting how the rivers impact regions by providing commerce and jobs. They believe the step backwards with the other Blueway was primarily due to misinformation and confusion on how the program actually works.
Another big topic was the failure to pass the farm bill and its potential impact on conservation programs if a compromise is not found. Walz said it is a classic example of fanaticism over minor policy issues derailing worthy projects. He said that if a compromise bill is not passed, several conservation programs and funding sources will be lost. He said the biggest consequence will be a large scale loss of opportunity to deal with issues facing rivers and watersheds.

As part of USA Field Hockey's Post- Collegiate HARROWines series, staff member Kait Mitchell catches up 2008 Olympian Jesse Gey for a quick Q & A.
Jesse Gey, a 2008 University of North Carolina grad, a former National Team player, a 2008 Olympian and a 2011 Pan American Games gold medalist, is about to ink another accomplishment onto her resume. As the captain of team Tembo of the 2013 Harrow Cup, Jesse is pulling from her vast credentials to make an impact as gigantic as the team's mascot.
KM: You reached the zenith of field hockey by competing on the U.S. National Team. How is this opportunity of being chosen as a Harrow Cup captain compare to your extensive list of accolades?
JG: It's a different kind of pressure. When I was competing on the U.S. National Team there was more of a personal pressure. You're performing under a microscope. Now with the Harrow Cup and being a captain there's a pressure to please the group and make the right decisions that will work best for the team.
KM: You selected the team name "Tembo" which is Swahili for elephant. Is there a personal connection there?
JG: I'm a big fan of elephants, so naturally when given the opportunity to choose a team name I picked it. Last weekend I flew to Colorado to see my former UNC and Harrow Cup teammate, Alli Tanner to design our uniforms. All I got to say is we're going to be looking pretty fly.
KM: What was your strategy for selecting your team?
JG: This was very difficult. Lots of preparation went into my selection. It was important to do a lot of research and make sure some of the "sleepers" or the not so popular names were given fair attention. I also reached out to outside sources and different college coaches for their input.
KM: What has training been like with everyone so spread out?
JG: We have an email chain going and a few of the girls have been attending open plays. Next week half of us are actually attending an open play day at Temple University. It's good core group to have out there.
KM: To you, why is it important to encourage post-collegiate hockey?
JG: Personally, I've been lucky to be able to continue playing after college with the national team. For most, their last game in college is the final time they ever really play. That's just sad. It's important we continue to grow the sport after our college days.
KM: What will you do with your slice of the pie if your team wins the 2013 Harrow Cup?
JG: Buy an airplane ticket somewhere or pay my bills.
KM: While browsing over your UNC Field Hockey bio I stumbled upon one of your little-known talents – dancing. You know, $10,000 is a big reason to bust a move. Any chance we'll see you dance if you're victorious?
JG: Not even a question. Yes, I'll be dancing. You'll probably see a Jesse original called the "jump rope." It's like the motion of jumping rope but with a little extra style. So keep an eye out for that.

New director of graduate admissions ready to help adult learners
Grad, MOL student exemplifies perseverance in life-long learning
ACCEL degree helps Mike Wilcher assist union families
"I made the decision ... I wanted to set the example (for my daughter) that this is America – we are all accountable for our own destiny."
Kathleen Andresen was honored with the ACCEL adult learner program's annual award.
Paul Greufe and John Fury both received awards.
According to the US Department of Labor, some 35 million Americans have some sort of college credit but never completed their degree.
A recent ACCEL student satisfaction survey revealed an overwhelmingly positive response.
Rick Reed is the first graduate of both the ACCEL and MOL programs.
Financial aid, such as Pell grants and loans, is determined by the number of credit hours a student intends to complete.

Young men of character
To the Editor:
I felt compelled to write in on how impressed I was with three young men during the last snowstorm. I was driving home in my four-wheel drive pickup a few weeks ago and it was snowing fairly good. The wind was blowing and it was cold.
As I prepared to turn onto my street, I noticed a van stuck in the snow and three kids out pushing it. It appeared that the kids' mom might have been stuck and they got out of the van and were trying to push her. None of them had hats and gloves on, so I thought the entire family was just trying to get her out.
I pulled in and backed up to the van to pull them out. When I walked up to the van, it was actually an elderly lady who tried to make the turn and the snowdrift pulled her in. The kids were driving by and wanted to help. They helped me hook onto her van and we pulled her out. Everyone then went on their way and I realized I knew two of the three boys. One was Jack Hested and the older one driving was Lucas Hested. I don't know the name of the third boy but he was Jack's age and he was helping as much as the rest of us were.
As I drove away, I thought about how impressed I was with these three boys. They didn't know this lady and they were not asked or told to help her. They just noticed what was going on and did what I would expect any man to do.
We all do some good things and we all make mistakes. That is how we learn. Some people say character is what you do when nobody is looking. I'm proud to see these three young men showing the world that they are of high character and I'm proud to live in the same city as them.

Nvidia Corp., a leading supplier of graphics processing units (GPUs), was not the first company to adopt 40nm fabrication process from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, but the firm plans to rather aggressively ramp up production using 40nm process technology. In fact, 25% of Nvidia's products will be made using 40nm process by the end of the year, the company said.
"In terms of the mix towards the end of the year, […] my rough math would suggest about 25%, is my guess. I mean, there's still going to be a lot of 55nm products. A lot of our MCP products, Ion, for example, is still based on 55nm and Ion is going to be running pretty hard. […] So, I would say, 25% to 30% is my rough estimate going into the end of the year," said Jen Hsun Huang, chief executive officer and president of Nvidia, during a conference call with financial analysts.
Initially there will be three products made using 40nm process tech in Nvidia's lineup, but the head of the company did not elaborate which products are the first to adopt the new fabrication process. Market rumours suggest that Nvidia plans to release its chips for mobile computers manufactured using 40nm process first with desktop parts following a little later. The scenario is similar to ATI's transition to 40nm process: the company launched its Mobility Radeon HD 40nm products first with desktop ATI Radeon following later.
"We are ramping 40nm probably harder than anybody and so we have three products in line now in 40nm and more going shortly. So, this is a very important node. TSMC is working very hard. We have a vast majority of their line cranking right now with new products, and so we are monitoring yields and they are improving nicely week-to-week, and so at this point, there's really not much to report," said Mr. Huang.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (ended April 26, 2009), revenue was $664.2 million compared with $1.2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, a decrease of 42%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, NVIDIA recorded a non-recurring charge of $140.2 million in connection with a previously announced cash tender offer to purchase employee stock options. Nvidia's results for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), included a net loss of $201.3 million, or $0.37 per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which excludes recurring stock-based compensation charges, the non-recurring charge related to the tender offer, and the associated tax impact of these items, was $46.7 million, or $0.09 per share.
