NFL Playoff Picture: 6 Things Packer Fans Need to Know About the New York Giants
NFL Playoff Picture: 6 Things Packer Fans Need to Know About the New York Giants
With the division playoffs looming, Green Bay and New York fans alike are scrutinizing the odds and anticipating the results.
As if any of that will matter when it comes down to game time...
Despite the randomness which we all celebrate as football fans, there are constants which live in the game. This is where stats come from, this is where memorization of past and present come to mind.
We all know that "one guy" who does this, who knows everything, who crunches the numbers and examines the box score. If football had a skirt, this would be the guy who looked under it.
Let's look at some of the things 'that' guy may be anticipating this upcoming Sunday...
Statistically Winners
When Green Bay has gone up against the Giants, the Pack has walked away victoriously 31 times compared to New York's 23.
Yea, yea they tied twice and "that guy" knows that, but I'm talking wins here! You know, that "I just beat you and I'm advancing in the playoffs and you're not," type of win.
Although this will mean nothing when it comes down to the execution of the game, it does leave Packer Backers a little less anxious when they realize Green Bay is typically the winner.
On the other hand, the Giants' road game is looking a little more promising long term...hm...
Lambeau Advantage
This game, though, is not a Green Bay road game. This game is a Green Bay Packer home-field advantage Lambeau game.
You catch that? I said Lambeau.
That's right, debatably one of the best home-field advantage turfs in the entire NFL. The only reason this is even subjective is because of the yearly rotating statistics and the individual team preferences which are living, breathing and ever-changing.
Green Bay wins at home. End of story.
Or is it?
New York has won two of the last five Lambeau faceoffs...
Tom Coughlin
In the four times that coach Mike McCarthy and coach Tom Coughlin have faced off, McCarthy has been the one in the postgame interview receiving the pat on the back.
Additionally, this is the fourth time that McCarthy has taken the Pack to the playoffs since his debut as the Green Bay head coach. Coach Coughlin is also 2-5 in his career against the Pack.
That's something that we all know, or at least can look up with ease. But what you can banter about "that guy" is that in his distant past, and almost forgotten, is that Coughlin was Green Bay's wide receiver coach back in 1986 and 1987, and that Dom Capers was his defensive coordinator while he coached for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1999 and 2000.
Fortunately, the closest connection to Green Bay's current team dates back to 2008, so no insider information should be known. We can't help but notice the similarities in wide receiver success, though...
Defensive Matchups
It's no secret that the Green Bay defense is their weak point.
It should come as no further surprise then that New York is one of the (many) teams that has rated above them in this area.
In fact, New York is sitting dangerously ranked No. 1 in this year's postseason to date. How is Green Bay going to measure up when it comes to the final score?
With Green Bay allowing a worrisome 36 sacks on Rodgers already this year, McCarthy and the team can only hope that New York won't press Green Bay into an unrecoverable position.
Receiving Yards
Prior to Green Bay's bye week, the New York Giants rank No. 2 in the NFL this season in receiving yards from wide receivers.
Coming in at No. 1? The Green Bay Packers.
With over 200 average yards per game from both, we can be confident that Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning will be looking towards players like Hakeem Nicks (NY) and Donald Driver (GB) to continue this pattern.
Victor Cruz, a spotlight wide receiver for the Giants this season, will be entering his second career playoff game in the upcoming faceoff against Green Bay.
Expect some good coverage on Driver especially, he did make 50 percent of the scoring touchdowns in their last meeting.
With so much on the line, New York will be watching their turnovers even more tightly.
On December 4, the Claymaker made one interception which resulted in a touchdown. After that, a sack by Matthews as well forced a fumble which was recovered by Green Bay's B.J. Raji.
You can be sure that New York does not want to add to the four lost fumbles they have already given up this year. Add to that the fact that Green Bay is leading the NFL in picks, and you know that the Giants will be guarding that ball like the Super Bowl depends on it.
To Be Decided
With the Lambeau drum Tundra Line already echoing in the minds of NFL fans everywhere, the division playoffs remain a preview in our memories.
Game recaps that haven't even happened yet are in the foresight of our minds, and game highlights that may be play out in our imagination.
The 2011 postseason remains ahead of us, to be fought out on frozen tundras and artificial turf. The results? We have no idea, and neither does that "that guy," no matter how accurate or statistical their prediction.
That is the beauty of the playoffs, that is the reason which we all watch.
In football, anything can happen.

Over the last few months, I've discussed a weakening balance sheet for Philip Morris (NYSE:PM). I've brought this issue up in some of my articles, using a variety of financial ratios to explain my concern. It's come to my attention, through a number of comments from my readers and followers, that some people don't quite understand the point I am trying to make. This became really evident in my latest Philip Morris article, where I examined the company's expected upcoming dividend raise. Today, I would like to take the time to examine the debt issue a little further. I feel as if readers believe I am stating that the company is in some sort of financial trouble, and I don't believe that at all. It appears that readers believe I am using the debt issue as some large negative stance against the company. That couldn't be further from the truth. My goal today is to explain my position on the issue. In terms of Philip Morris, I am still very positive on the name, and it is still one of my top value picks. I'm just a little less positive in the long term because of this debt issue. So instead of maybe ranking this stock as a 9 out of 10, right now I'm at 8 out of 10. To start, here's the table I've shown in the past that everyone seems to be concerned with.
Looking at overall debt:
You cannot argue that Philip Morris' debt pile is not growing. Over the last two years (ending Q1 of 2013), Philip Morris' total debt is up by nearly $8.75 billion, or 51.90%, to $25.6 billion. The amount of net debt, which is total debt minus cash and equivalents, has not risen as fast. Net debt has risen by about $6.1 billion, more than 39%, to $21.6 billion. A 40% rise in two years may not be large to some, but I'll show why it may be an issue if it continues.
Debt is also becoming a larger part of the liabilities section of the balance sheet. Two years ago, total debt represented about 56% of total liabilities. Now, we are at nearly 64%. Why does this matter? Well, there are certain liabilities that may not contain interest rates. Debt carries interest rates, so having more interest-bearing liabilities means that the company will probably be paying more in interest.
In terms of when this debt is due, most of it is very long-term. To see the in-depth breakdown of their debt transactions, click here. Most of this debt isn't due until 2020 or later, which means the company does not have to pay this debt back anytime soon. So investors looking at the next three months don't have to worry about the notes due in 2038, except for the fact that the company is paying interest on them, which reduces profits in a sense.
An interesting item that I've been asked about is interest expenses. In 2011, Philip Morris paid $800 million in interest expenses. Now, some of this is essentially "recovered", because the extra expense lowers pre-tax profits, which reduces taxes. However, in 2012 the company paid $859 million in interest expenses. That's a rise of 7.38%, which is a lot faster than the rise in revenues, gross profit, and operating profit. It does hurt a little on the bottom line.
Philip Morris' interest expenses are likely to rise again fairly quickly in 2013. Interest expenses in Q1 of 2013 were $236 million, up 10.8% from the $213 million recorded in Q1 of 2012. To look back at any of Philip Morris' past quarterly or yearly results, click here. Now one item brought up by some readers, and it could be a fair point, is the high interest rate debt coming due in 2014-2016. A few of these notes carry interest rates between 5.75% and 6.875%. Philip Morris could see some interest expense relief if they are able to refinance those notes, but we can't project that right now. We don't know what interest rates will be in 8 months to 2.5 years when they come due, and if Philip Morris goes with longer-term debt (assuming an interest rate rise), they could actually pay more in interest. Plus, on the flip side, when the lower rate notes come due, those ones they are paying very low interest on could become a lot more expensive.
The debt ratio:
The most common ratio I've discussed is the debt ratio, which is also known as the liabilities to assets ratio. This ratio basically measures how much of your assets are funded by liabilities (and thus how much by equity). So if you have a dollar of assets and 40 cents of liabilities, your debt ratio is 40%, because 40% of your assets are funded with liabilities, and 60% are funded by equity. Generally speaking, a company with a debt ratio of 10% would be better than a similar one with a debt ratio of say 50%. This is because the lower ratio would give that company more room to add debt and expand the balance sheet, and the one with the lower ratio is probably paying less overall in interest costs.
I bring up this ratio the most because it has been getting worse each quarter, especially over the past two years. Philip Morris has paid out a lot of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, but a fair amount of that has come from debt. The chart below shows the company's debt ratio since the end of 2010.
I don't bring up this ratio just because it is getting worse. I also bring it up because it passed a critical point. At the end of last year, Philip Morris had more liabilities than assets, meaning the balance sheet showed a negative equity value. In fact, at the end of Q1 this year, it got worse. Philip Morris had $1.07 in liabilities for each dollar of assets. Two years ago, they only had about $0.85 in liabilities for each dollar of assets. Now you may ask how this stacks up against some other names. I'll use the same three companies I always do, and those are Lorillard (NYSE:LO), Altria (NYSE:MO), and Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI). To give you an extra bit of analysis, I went back three years here so you are not just looking at the changes over two years.
Over the past three years, only Lorillard's ratio shows a worse trend, but Lorillard has improved their ratio slightly in the past year. Philip Morris is the only name where the ratio got worse in each year, and they had the worst change from last year's value.
Other ratios / numbers to consider:
Now some of my commenters said they didn't see much value in the debt ratio, and would like to see something that more compares to results (income, cash flow, etc). So for this argument, I'm looking at the total debt to EBITDA and net debt to EBITDA ratios. I did not go out and calculate these ratios on my own. Philip Morris provides them in their quarterly reports, so I am giving you a ratio that they feel is important to include. The chart below shows these ratios going back to the end of 2010.
These ratios aren't just getting worse because Philip Morris is increasing its debt. They also are rising because EBITDA is not rising as fast as debt. Trailing twelve month EBITDA was $14.723 billion at the end of this year's Q1. Last year's figure was $14.709 billion. Since then, the company has added more than $4.75 billion of total debt, roughly $4.35 billion of net debt.
Investors may not realize this, but Philip Morris actually reported a first quarter decline in net income. Debt and interest rates are growing faster than revenues and profits. If you want to look at cash flow, I'll mention net cash provided by operating activities, page 8 of the most recent 10-Q filing. In Q1 this year, it was $1.363 billion. In last year's period, it was $1.898 billion. Cash from operating activities was down in 2012 as well. This company is not producing the cash flow it was in prior periods, which may be a surprise to some.
In the table I started with, there were a couple of numbers in yellow. In five of the past nine quarters, Philip Morris has ended the quarter with a current ratio below 1.00, which means negative working capital. Last quarter, the current ratio could have been below 1, but the company issued a large amount of long-term debt, which pushed the cash balance up by $1 billion, and working capital up by $2.58 billion (total debt increased by $2.76 billion). As the company uses that money, especially for the $1.5 billion per quarter buyback we are expecting, you would figure that working capital will go negative again, and then they will issue more debt.
Why these ratios are important:
These ratios are important for a couple of reasons. First, when you look at the overall health of a company's balance sheet, you would like it to be strong. As I've shown above, some of the cigarette names don't always have the prettiest balance sheets, as they return a large amount of capital to shareholders. If you are looking for their balance sheets to be like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), or for them to have no debt, you are in the wrong industry.
One of the most important aspects of these ratios is their implementation, and by that, I'm talking about credit ratings. A higher credit rating means lower risk. A lower credit rating means higher risk, and thus higher interest rates. I'm sure many people realize this, but here's a chart from a recent Bloomberg/Raymond James bond guide. The chart shows corporate bond spreads (above treasuries) for a few select industries. The chart compares names with higher "A" credit ratings with those of lower "BBB" ratings.
I discussed certain financial ratios because I'm not the only one looking at them. Rating agencies are as well. If some of these ratios continue to get worse, a ratings downgrade could follow. That could mean that instead of Philip Morris paying say 75 basis points more than a 10-year US Treasury, they may need to pay an extra 100 basis points, hypothetically. That may not seem like much, but when you are issuing $5 billion of new debt a year, you could be talking about extra interest payments in the tens of millions of dollars, depending on the maturities of your debt. Extra interest costs means less profits, less cash flow, and less for dividends and buybacks.
Rates are going higher:
Unfortunately for borrowers, of which Philip Morris is one, interest rates are going back up again. The Federal Reserve could start to taper some of its QE program in the next year, and people are starting to sell their US Treasuries. The chart below shows how the 30-Year US Bond yield has risen in the past year, and especially in recent weeks.
(Source: Yahoo! Finance)
Philip Morris will start to see higher interest rates for some of its debt, and it has to a small extent already. I gave a link above to the company's fixed income page, which I can use for reference. Last August, the company issued $750 million of 30-year bonds in the US. The coupon was 3.875%. On March 4th of this year, they issued $850 million of 30-year bonds in the US. The coupon was 4.125%, a difference of 25 basis points. Part of that probably is due to the extra $100 million that was raised. However, let's also look at some 10-year bond issues. Last August, a $750 million issue had a coupon of 2.500%. This March, a $600 million issue had a coupon of 2.625%. So they took out less money this time and still had to pay an extra 1/8th of a percentage point. Philip Morris did issue some Euro debt about 5 weeks ago, but there isn't a comparable debt issue for that one. It will be interesting to see the next set of rates when they issue some more 10 and 30-year debt. One thing is certain, rates are going up, and if there happens to be a ratings downgrade, it could be even worse.
Debt is good? Less shares, better EPS, but net income?
Adding some level of debt can be good. Investors obviously like share buybacks, because they help prop up the share price and boost earnings per share. Also, as many would argue, low interest rates make buybacks even better. If Philip Morris can borrow at 2% (ignore the tax benefit for a minute, but that could help even more), they can retire shares that pay roughly 4% a year in dividends. That can improve cash flow in a sense, as you don't have as much in dividend payments. It also helps the dividend over time, as the lower share count means you can pay out more to those shareholders.
But this buyback also can hide some issues. The chart below shows how the company's buyback has helped earnings per share in the past four Q1 quarters. The numbers below may not appear correct for net earnings (or net income). Philip Morris uses a separate net income value for its earnings per share figure. I won't go into all of the details, so if you want to see them, please check out Schedule 4. The net income and share columns are in millions, with EPS being actual.
From 2010 to 2013, Q1 net income rose by 24.72%, while the share count declined by 12.17%. This led to a 42% rise in earnings per share. However, you must remember my discussion regarding net income and cash flow. Earnings per share in Q1 2013 were up three cents from the 2012 period, but net income and operating cash flow declined. Buybacks are good for earnings per share, but they sometimes hide other issues. Investors should remember that just because earnings per share are rising, that does not mean net income and operating cash flow will be as well.
Looking down the road / final thoughts:
Again, I am not concerned with Philip Morris' financial health at the moment. A few people seemed to believe that was the case, which is why I wrote this article today. However, you cannot argue that some of the company's ratios are getting worse. The debt ratio and both EBITDA ratios are going the wrong way, and I hope that they can start to improve at some point.
My concern for Philip Morris relates to the market's concern for the Fed's QE program. With the printing presses at full blast, the market loves easy money. When it seemed as though the Fed could start to taper the QE program, the markets started to panic. Even if they go from $85 billion a month to $75 billion, the markets could pull back. The same is true of Philip Morris in my opinion. When they announced their new buyback plan last year, it began a new three year process for the company. $18 billion over three years meant $1.5 billion in buybacks per quarter, on average. My worry is that a weakening balance sheet, a high debt load, and perhaps higher rates, could affect this stock when that plan ends a few years down the road. How will investors react if the buyback decreases to say $1 billion per quarter? That's a drop of one third. Philip Morris has been a great investment because of the buyback, and in past articles I've shown how the stock has traded at a premium. Part of that premium is due to the lovely buyback, but a lower buyback in theory should mean a lower premium.
I also mentioned in my last article that I expected the dividend to be raised by 5 to 8 cents this year. Due to an excel error, my math was off originally, but a 5 to 8 cent raise this year represents a 5.88% to 9.41% raise in the dividend. Last year's raise was 10.39%, and the year before was 20.31%. The five year straight average, not using compounded or weighted averages, was 13.17%. I don't expect to see a dividend raise that high this year. Part of it has to do with the balance sheet. If Philip Morris slows down the growth of its dividend, investors won't like the stock as much. Remember, this name already has a much lower dividend yield than Altria, Reynolds, and Lorillard do.
So please, don't think that I am arguing Philip Morris is in financial trouble, or that I'm talking about the balance sheet as a huge negative. I'm really not, it's just a small concern I have at the moment. Philip Morris remains a solid buy in my opinion, but like I said in my intro, I'm just slightly less optimistic than I used to be when it comes to my longer-term outlook of this stock.

Intensity there, but rivalry has mellowed: Dhoni
Ahead of match against Pakistan, India captain says team achieved most of what it wanted to in warm-up fixtures
The India-Pakistan rivalry is not necessarily the oldest in cricketing history, but there is no rivalry more intense than the showdowns between the Asian giants. It's a face-off that dates back to 1952-53, the teams having played 190 international matches – 59 Tests, 126 One-Day Internationals and 5 Twenty20 Internationals – during that period.
Pakistan has had the measure of India in Test and ODI cricket – winning 12 and losing 9 Tests, and coming up best in 72 ODIs as opposed to 50 defeats – while India has the edge in the 20-over game, having won three and lost just one match thus far. Matches between the sides are increasingly infrequent these days, but while the intensity remains undimmed, Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes the teams have learnt not to take these battles personally.
"The intensity is there, of course, it is something you cannot take away from the game, irrespective of which opposition you are playing. India-Pakistan matches always capture the imagination of people from either side," India's captain said on the eve of the Group 2 clash between the sides in the ICC World Twenty20 2014 on Friday (March 21). "I feel it has mellowed down to some extent. Whatever the reason maybe, you do not see many altercations on the field. But still you see very competitive cricket, which I feel is very important. Growing up used to watching some of the last generation players, it used to get quite tense. There were plenty of things happening apart from cricket on the field. We used to enjoy it as kids. I am glad that it doesn't really happen anymore because when you talk about promoting cricket and promoting it in the right way, I think more often than not, it is played in the right spirit."
If it is India v Pakistan in the World Cup, it is impossible not to bring India's overwhelming 8-0 record into the equation. "A lot of people talk about it but what is important is what kind of cricket you are playing on that particular day," Dhoni emphasised. "All the teams that are participating, they have got a fantastic side. What this format does is, narrow the difference between the best sides and the not-so-good sides. Even the ones who qualify and get into the World T20, they have also got the talent to upset some of the big sides, which means we have to play good cricket and that is what it is all about. It is not really about the stats or what you have achieved in the past."
India and Pakistan are two members of what is being referred to as the Group of Death – it also includes West Indies, the defending champions, and Australia, as well as the topper of the Group A qualifying phase, in all probability host nation Bangladesh. "What is important is to do well in each and every game. In the last World T20, we lost just one game in the qualifying round and were not able to make it to the knockout stages," Dhoni pointed out. "Our group, it is a tough group. Each team is as good as some of the other teams but if you look at the other group also, all the teams are good. That is what this format brings. It is exciting and at the same time, the teams are balanced and they can beat each other."
India had mixed results in its warm-up games, going down to Sri Lanka but brushing England aside. "The bowling department is still an area of concern if you compare it to our batting," said Dhoni, reflecting on work to be done after the warm-up skirmishes. "Getting off to a good start, that is something really important for us. If we have wickets in hand, we have seen in the past that we can score maybe 10-15 runs more than what can be a par score. In a short format like this, 10-15 runs really matter. The fielding has been good. If we do well in the death bowling and bat well throughout, we have a very good chance."
There is a lack of T20I experience amongst the quicker bowlers in particular, but Dhoni said that wasn't necessarily a massive area of concern. "If you talk about international T20s, our fast bowlers have not played much. But they have spent a lot of time in the IPL, where the conditions are a bit similar so I think to some extent, that will help. When it comes to contribution, we would want to bowl well with the new ball," Dhoni said. "If we can get one-two wickets with the new ball, it is considered a good start. Especially in this format, if you keep getting regular wickets, the opposition is not able to score too freely. We will try to take wickets with the new ball and then they will come on and bowl the last few overs maybe, so not very different from what the job is for the fast bowlers for some of the other teams."
There were several positives to take away from the practice games, the captain observed. "We have achieved a lot. Through the practice games, we wanted to give the guys who were not part of the Asia Cup a fair time in the middle and I was quite happy with the way Yuvraj (Singh) and (Suresh) Raina performed. They batted well. Raina has also contributed with his bowling. Whatever we wanted to achieve from the practice games, we have achieved that. It looks set but still there are quite a few areas where we will have to improve when it comes to a proper game because you won't really have the luxury of playing 15 players (like in the warm-up games)."
Saeed Ajmal, the wily offspinner who has had reasonable success against India, again looms as a massive threat, and Dhoni acknowledged that. "He is a very good bowler. It is not as if he is dangerous against one particular nation. He is a bowler against whom you cannot score freely," said Dhoni. "And the way Pakistan use him, they make sure you try to go for runs against him if he bowls in the slog overs or in the first six overs. He is still dangerous not only against us, but if you see all the international teams, they have had difficulty in scoring freely against him."

Buying clothes from a resale or consignment store can add a certain flare to your wardrobe that buying from a brand name label can't. Resale clothing shops are commonly part of bigger thrift stores that have an assortment of items for sale on consignment, but they do exist independently. Going to a resale clothing store can result in the finding of clothes and other outerwear that is often termed vintage. These used clothes are aged and are often indicative of a certain era. They can be unique pieces that are no longer produced, and if the store or seller is aware of their vintage status, they can sometimes come at a premium price. While the quality and condition of some used apparel can be questionable, most stores make a point of only taking clean, well-examined clothes. When a desired item is found, it generally comes at an affordable price that major retail chains can't sell at.
Additionally, thrift stores are a great place to shop on a budget. If you're looking to buy for a certain occasion or costume, shopping at a resale store can be beneficial, since you can get the items you need at a lower cost. Many people will bring items that they no longer need to these stores in the hopes of selling them back at a fraction of the cost they paid. These clothes can be maternity clothes, baby clothes or children's clothes that are no longer needed or worn, and will be appreciated by mothers who need them but can't afford to buy them new.

An Internet Retailer survey finds free shipping offers are fairly common this Halloween.
With fewer than five days until Halloween, online retailers are hyping shipping promotions to capture last-minute shoppers. Sites, such as CostumeCraze.com, No. 500 in the Top 500 Guide, are discounting goods up to 90% and promoting sale prices on their home pages next to shipping offers that will still get items delivered by Halloween.
SpiritHalloween.com puts urgency into a home-page promotion, tagged with "The End is Near" on a tombstone next to a zombie, noting that shoppers can place Halloween orders only until 3 p.m. on Oct. 26 to ship via FedEx's second-day air service.
Flowers may not be frightening, but that hasn't stopped 1-800-Flowers.com Inc. from joining retailers offering special shipping deals to scare up Halloween sales. The online floral and gifts retailer e-mailed a pitch to customers on Monday, Oct. 25, for a free upgrade from standard to two-day shipping. But the deal, it warned, dies at noon on Wednesday.
BuyCostumes.com offered free priority shipping for purchases of $90 or more made on Tuesday, Oct. 26, for delivery on Friday, Oct. 29. The site also offered discounts of up to 90% for costumes for adults, kids and dogs. Think the canine costume concept is crazy? "Dog Halloween costumes" beat out online searches for costumes for babies and toddlers this year, according to search analytics provider Searchmetrics.
Some merchants gave an extra push to shipping in e-mail and social media promotions. HalloweenExpress.com, in an e-mail sent to customers early on Monday, Oct. 25, showed a list of shipping deals including free standard shipping on orders of $65+, free two-day shipping on orders of $89+, and discounted prices on shipping upgrades. Meanwhile, BlairCandy.com displayed on its Facebook page a U.S. map that visitors could click to view UPS shipping schedules so they could plan shipments in time for Halloween.
An Internet Retailer survey this month of 25 online retailers of candy, costumes and other Halloween merchandise found them evenly divided among free-shipping offers: 12 offered them, 12 did not, and one, Walmart.com, offered free shipping to stores. All of the free-shipping offers required minimum purchases, with most ranging from $39 (Kmart.com) to $75 (AnniesCostumes.com). The highest minimum purchase requirement, at $100, was from FrightCatalog.com.
The 25 retailers in the survey included merchants that specialize in costumes, including BuyCostumes.com (free shipping on orders of $65+) and CostumesSupercenter.com (free shipping on orders of $70+); merchants that sell mostly candy, including CandyCrate.com and BlairCandy.com (neither offers free shipping) and JellyBelly.com (free shipping on orders of $50+); and mass merchants including Target.com (free shipping on 500,000 items for orders of $50+).

The problem is that 10,160 houses were burned to the ground by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and toilet facilities is severely lacking. This results to local residents defecating in the open, in the coastlines and streets and the threat of water-borne diseases is high. Women also have no dignity when they are forced to defecate in the open.
We will construct low-cost, robust, sanitary toilets and equip this with hygiene kits. In so doing we will solve the problem of open defecation. We cannot build toilets for all the affected residents so we will only build in barrio centers and the local residents can use the toilets in a communal manner.
The impact of the project are the following; a. Access to toilets for those affected by the fighting between the MNLF and government troops. b. Prevention of water-borne diseases as a result of no toilet facilities and open defecation. c. For women, improvement in dignity in being able to use toilets.

Youth working in high school more likely to be employed in future
August 01, 2000
Increasing the weeks spent working while school was in session when a student is aged 16-17 is associated with increasing that individual's weeks worked during the following 13 years.
The step up in the percent of weeks worked in the 13 years after high school holds true regardless of the category of hours worked per week during high school. In particular, individuals who did not work during school weeks while aged 16 and 17 worked 64 percent of weeks from age 18 through 30, while those who worked 50 percent of school weeks or less while aged 16 and 17 worked 74 percent of weeks while aged 18 to 30.
Among youths that worked more than 50 percent of school weeks, the percentage is even higher (between 82 and 84 percent depending on the category of hours worked per week). The overall step-up pattern holds for both men and women and regardless of race and ethnicity.
Data on youth employment are a product of the National Longitudinal Surveys. Additional information is available from Chapter 7 of the Report on the Youth Labor Force.

Even death cannot part these couples....
DI Damen Brook is on a rare period of leave and determined to make the most of it by reconnecting with his daughter, Terri. But with her heavy drinking proving a challenge, Brook takes the opportunity to visit a local murder scene when his help is requested.
An elderly couple have each been executed with a single shot to the heart, and the method echoes that of a middle-aged gay couple killed the previous month. With the same killer suspected and the officer currently in charge nearing retirement, Brook knows that he has little choice but to cut short his leave when forced by his superiors to take the lead on the case.
Brook believes that he can catch this ruthless killer, but, already distracted by Terri's problems, is he about to make a fatal mistake and lead the killer right to his own door?

Ruger, S&W, and Taurus make(made) a 6-shot, .32H&R magnum revolver that would be my choice. Yes a .22lr will work, but as Chris said, a centerfire cartridge will be more reliable, and in the case of the .32H&R, plenty sufficient for self defense use, without heavy recoil.
just my .02
Hot dang
got her shooting a Lady smith today
When outnumbered 2 to 1.
Shoot twice!
Both the .22 lr and the .32 acp are acceptable killers as far as cartages go . however both are absolutely " piss poor " fight stoppers . IMO the floor on a defensive pistol would lay at about 9mm or if you like round things .38 special out of a 4" gun . A snub .38 or a .380 are fine things to have on your person when you cannot carry a gun . Anything below that should be shot for enjoyment only and not relied on to stop a fight .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
I think I read something praising the Hornady XTP in .32
It has been a while since I really looked at anything smaller than
9mm for anything more than punching paper. That being said, unless you are looking at the mini's most of the .22 handguns I am familiar with are not much smaller than the .32's I am familiar with. With the lighter recoil, it should be easier to fire follow up shots. With the ballistics in these calibers I would plan to fire double taps if not triples from the get go. In .32 I have heard good things about the .32 H&R magnum, but that might have more recoil and blast than she is comfortable with. In .32 ACP I remember the silver tips as having a good reputation.
If it were me though I would try to start her out on something like a 3 or 4 inch "K frame" or equivalent in .357magnum. I would start her off with the "target" 148 grain full wadcutters from 3D (or equivalent). As she got more comfortable I would move her up the power scale.
The .32 is better than nothing and the .22 is okey if that is all you have. Most of the time just showing a weapon is enough to discourage the BG but if you have to shoot keep shooting for vital spots and anything might be better than nothing. The .32 mag is a different story it is more potent than a .22. My wife likes her .32 but I back her up with a .38+p or a .380 carbon round. Sometimes I have my .45 and she feels comfortable with the little gun and shoots it very well. We have been married 53 years so we don't argue about the small stuff. More people are probably killed by .22s than any other caliber.
As was said earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if more people haven't been killed with a .22lr than everything else combined. I certainly wouldn't recommend carrying one for protection. It's not meant for that. If I'm not mistaken, it was a .22 head wound on Press Secretary Brady that ultimately resulted in the "Brady Bill."
I'd go with the .32, why not? I have the KelTec .32 for those times that only pocket carry will work...usually for my wife, I take the .380...
Stay armed...the bigger the better, usually...stay safe!
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Let her get something she can get comfortable with. If it's a .22, get a .22, if it's a .32, get a .32. And let her naturally move up in caliber. Shot placement is #1, if she is trying to shoot something she is scared of, her accuracy is going to suffer, aka, it wont matter if she had an 8mm mauser or a 17hmr, if she can't hit what she's aiming at. I've carried a P22 several times as a primary, when I had a need for deep concealment. I had every confidence in myself that if I needed to shoot, I could put 3 COM in about the same time I would be sighting up a follow up shot in a larger caliber.

The Brough he received from the factory, 'with operating instructions in a personal letter' delivered by rail to Glogue station on 25th June 1926, (in a one mile sprint at Pendine in 1928 R E Thomas on his machine estimatedly capable of 115 mph came a very close second against George Brough on the latest factory machine.)
George Brough on what we believe is that machine developed for the 1928 season.
R E Thomas & High capacity machine went on to campaign & gain a high number of wins & silverware against machines of lesser capacity plus high capacity Vee twins, McEvoys, Indians machinery & such, his 'regional reign' was to come to an end circa 1929 when the Bristol located Douglas Factory brought out their twin 'fore & aft' horizontal engined machines which can be seen in the Oxwich page of this website, whilst Scott 2 stroke engined machinery & Sunbeam 'Sprint' designed machinery generally had 'caught up' with the higher capacity rulers.
Eddie Stephens & brother Iago figured well in results at Cefn Sidan & in attendance was Tom Gravell then 14 yrs of age who founded the oldest Renault dealership in Wales. Media of the period carried scornful reference to rumours from those west of the location who had claimed the event would be postponed.
June 11th Results: 1: One Mile sprint for up to 350cc solo Machines, 1/Nick Carter (Matchless) 2/ Eddie Stephens (New Imperial) 2: One Mile Sprint for up to 600cc Solo Machines, 1/Nick Carter, 2/ A Williams (Douglas) 3: 10 Miles for up to 350cc Solo Machines, 1/Nick Carter 2/Eddie Stephens.4: 10 Miles for up to 500cc Solo Machines, 1/A Williams, 5: 10 Miles for Unlimited Solo machines, 1/R E Thomas (Brough Superior) 2/E W Thomas (Norton), 6: 5 Miles for Sidevalve Machines, 1/David Davies (Ariel) David Treharne (AJS), 7: 10 Miles Unlimited for Novice Riders, 1/Tucker (Ariel) 2/C Thomas (Norton), 8: 25 Miles Unlimited Solo Machines for Gwendraeth Valley Residents, 1/J Davies (Ariel) 2/C Thomas, 9: 25 Miles for Unlimited Sidecar Outfits or 3 Wheeled Machines, 1/Pantall (Norton Sidecar Outfit) 2/Boobyer (Norton Sidecar Outfit) 10: 50 Miles for Unlimited Solo Machines, 1/ R E Thomas (BS) 2/Boobyer (Zenith JAP).
T J Phillips of Port Talbot is listed to be have ridden a Zenith Outfit to finish second at a Pendine event ahead of a leading sidecar exponent Boobyer on a Zenith JAP <(J & A Prestwich Motor) who had finished 3rd at Pendine behind Winner C F Edwards's Brough Superior & L Parker's Douglas Sidecar Outfit.
Dr. Alex Lindsey Snr. of Nantgaredig Nr Carmarthen with his unique but eligible for Sidevalve Race Norton 16H with early & novel streamlining......In the days when Aerodynamics were starting to be explored one has to admire his effort.
Weather for Saturday September 7th, colder, autumnal, but ideal for racing......That initial success of GVMCC&LCC's June 11th Event had pre race media coverage announcing Cefn Sidan had become recognised as a Premier Sand Track in the British Isles.
Sprint Distances were now raised to be one lap 2 1/2 miles.....Competition, preparation methods & developments were & improving, gathering speed. & riders of the region seemed far keener whilst entrants from far further afield were noted.
Speed Trials Officials Team also were given a vote of confidence & selected as before whilst collars & ties seemed regulation dress to attend, the fastened overcoats plus firmly placed 'Dai caps' at the late in day after race picture tells us so much.
Consistent winner at both events at Cefn Sidan was Nick Carter on his famous Matchless, with a very 'Broughlike' fuel tank (but this view is of him later at Oxwich Bay 1931 Sand Races.) Nick also won his classes in the September event.
Results: 17th September 1927 Cefn Sidan Speed Trials: N.B. 12 Events listing in Llanelly Mercury had a blank where results should be after event number 11!.
T (Tom) J Phillips of Port Talbot, placed second in the 2 1/2 Miles Sprint for Solo machines, pictured here at Pendine with a lightweight Swallow sidecar attached & where he was also to figure prominently in results plus as at his home Aberavon Sand Races as well as Oxwich,... he is listed as riding a Zenith 350cc Solo at Cefn Sidan. Tom Phillips started the first Radio business in Port Talbot, he is grandfather of Phil Landeg who (along with Selwyn Griffiths & son Jason Griffiths, Sutcliffe Tuxworth now of Honda fame & Ian Loughor etc etc >a virtual hall of fame) rode for Ray Cowles & Phil became the man who broke Aberdare Park 125cc Lap Record on his long term sponsor's machine, (Derek Williams of APS Motorcycles Bristol & at one time held the Handel Davies Trophy, a look on the home page & you can see that Handel Davies link!).
1: 2 1/2 Miles Sprint for up to 350cc Solo Machines, 1/Nick Carter (Matchless) 2/T J Phillips (Zenith). 2: 2 1/2 Miles Sprint for up to 600cc Solo Machines, 1/E W Thomas (Norton) 2/F T Pantall (Norton). 3: 2 1/2 Miles Sprint for Unlimited Capacity Solo Machines, 1/R E Thomas (Brough Superior) 2/E W Thomas (Norton) 3/S E G Bennett (Scott). 4: 10 Miles Race for up to 350cc Solo Machines, 1/Nick Carter (Matchless) 2/ T J Phillips (Zenith). 5: 10 Miles race for up to 600cc Solo Machines, 1/E W Thomas (Norton) 2/E G Bennett (Scott). 6:10 Miles Unlimited Race for Solo Machines, 1/R E Thomas (Brough Superior) 2/E W Thomas (Norton). 7:10 Miles Novice Race, 1/G Crasier (BSA) 2/P G Sewell. 8: 10 Miles Race for Sidecar Outfits & 3 wheeled machines, 1/D J Rees (Morgan Aero) 2/F T Pantall (Norton Sidecar Outfit). 9: 30 Miles Race For Sidecar Outfits & 3 wheeled Machines, 1/D J Rees (Morgan Aero) 2/F T Pantall (Norton Sidecar Outfit) 10: 25 Miles Race for Unlimited Solo Machines, 1/R E Thomas (Brough Superior) 2/E W Thomas (Norton). 11:???? 12: 50 Miles Race for Unlimited Solo Machines, 1/R E Thomas (Brough Superior) 2/E W Thomas (Norton). & the photo of these is here online!.

The Sailing Vessel when named 'PAUL' registered at Hamburg & wrecked on Cefn Sidan in 1923 to stand as a prominent landmark for many years, its heavy cargo of timber kept the folk of the region supplied also for many years.
Picture kindly supplied by Terry James who masters the fine Rampart website covering Burry Port, Pembrey & Carmarthen Bay plus more.
The locally named 'People of the little hatchets' were in folklore at least accused of displaying lights to misguide & attract shipping onto the beach, the hatchets were it is said used to cut off swollen fingers of casualties bearing gold rings!, thankfully or hopefully all a part of folklore,the Welsh term translated is "Gwyr y Bwelli Bach" & it is recorded that around 50 arrests had been made of wrecked vessel plundering locals whilst around 30 unfortunate perished mariners littered the surrounding area.
At the Burry Port end of the sands is the Harbour, outside which Amelia Earhart Landed her seaplane 'Friendship' after her Atlantic Crossing record breaking flight.

Time to spruce up as a lady would after creating such a record.
Then, after rest a takeoff from outside Burry Port harbour & on to this reception at Southampton.
Eastern end of Carmarthen Bay's Cefn Sidan ends at the Llwchwr (Loughor) Estuary passing the edge of Stradey Park, 'Holy of Holies to Llanelli Supporters (TURKS), sadly or perhaps happily the famous ground shall be moved fractionally east soon, just as close to the sands though, this was the day Tookie the pipe fitter, Lofty the Boilermaker, a rigger and myself as an Electrician kept Scarlets Wing Forward Gareth Jenkins away from too much harm working high above the largest span in Europe, Billet Bank Gantry Crane. It was a Saturday morning, a 6am to 2pm shift really prior to Gareth going to do battle with the All Blacks. (Welsh Coach? who knows?) as part of a side still hailed as heroes. Small parts of a discussion touched on a Kiwi prop called Murdoch!. A full time bouncer fearfully reported to have 58 inches Chest measurement. This was raised with Jenkins, who would be packing down just ahead of him, along with what if anything at all he could do if a confrontation emerged, Jenks nervously reassured us (with actions!) that he would defend himself vigorously, Jenkins was just a very youthful lad then and who played in the midweek Llanelly Steel 1907 (Duport) Company Rugby team along players from Llanelli Aberavon, Maesteg, Swansea Neath with Phil Bennett and other West Wales teams. (at least 5 'went North from that side, Butler Prendiville Mathias Watts Gallagher inc.) The end of shift was 2pm, Gareth was manoevred into a slightly earlier finish and legged it, carrying his kitbag across to a mass packed Stradey to take on the All Blacks. Other anxious supporters & morning shift finishers tore to Sid Phillips Historic Old Castle pub!, into the back room where a diminutive black and white screened TV was running a replay of a fracas in the first half. Somehow or other it was no surprise to see Gareth Jenkins raining desperate punches on (guess who?) Murdoch who had been his attacker. Jenks had a broken nose following the initial tussle, but played on hardly noticing it, Murdoch himself had seemed quite surprised at such a fearless response. That was the day the pubs really ran dry after the final whistle with a 9 - 3 to Llanelli result. Murdoch?, he was sent home after another late evening event at the Angel Hotel in Cardiff, the pick of the Wales Police force was patrolling and defending & protecting the visiting All Blacks side, a description of one stocky constable stated his peaked cap was down well over his eyes & he was the type whose torch always seemed to have a broken glass!. That evening all seemed quiet, visiting team took refreshing looks at an illuminated Cardiff Castle, 'just across the road. A fine evening, the sort to pass decent conversations on seemed to change slightly when a Constable noticed it had unexpectedly started to rain, he extended his palm & discovered it was a warm golden sort of rain!! PR seemed well dented. I was 'nearly there' but with others mentioned may just have contributed slightly to the All Blacks downfall.!!
All these years on, the area still is involved with Vee twin 1000cc machinery racing, Neal Owens of Burry Port/Pembrey shows the machine on which he is favourite to take the 2004 British Champiomship Sidecar Racers (clockwise). Neal already has been British Champion at the Clockwise racing competition even using a 600 British Godden Motor against the 4 Cylinder Japanese machines. (Methanol fuel is used by all). SHANKS WASTE SOLUTIONS Ltd., WHO SUPPORT SCARLETS help Neal and show so on the transporter if anyone could get ask the SCARLETS to take part in team pictures with the machine on the Stradey itself....it could bring speed skill bravery sources to be imaged to each since the design construction is al of Burry Port/Pembrey & whilst virtually the top races in England no locals or press see the efforts to gain the Brit. Championship underway it would benefit all to learn of it, Neal can always be reached.
Shanks Waste Solutions, Godden Racing Engines support the team who represent the area out of sight, so if anyone can arrange a 'photo shoot' on the Stradey itself with this team plus Scarlet representation it would be good for both & depict role model examples, image after all often costs nothing & the entire region's image could only benefit.

Immediate Family
About Urbaine Baudrau Dit Graveline
The history of the Beaudreau and Graveline families began in 1653 with the arrival from France of a young man pioneer named Urbain Baudreau dit Graveline. Sailing form the small port of LaRochelle in France aboard a small vessel, a determined group of soldiers and adventurers began its perilous journey.
Urbain had signed a contract for five years to serve the colony of Montreal as a militiaman to protect
it from the attacks of the dreaded Iroquois Indians. Following his discharge from his original contract in 1658, Urbain returned to France brieftly, but returned again in July of 1659 aboard the St-André.
Upon his return, he received from the owners of the colony, a land grant as compensation for his service. He decided to settle down and raise a family, so in 1664 he married Mathurine Juillet, the daughter of another colonial hero, Blaise Juillet, who had given his life in defense of the colony. Together they had eight children : four sons and four daughters.
During his early years in Ville-Marie, as Montreal was then known, Urbain worked as a landclearer for others in addition to working his own land. But, beginning in 1660, he began to acquire parcels of land on the shore of the St. Lawrence River. In 1663, he was elected syndic (trustee) of the colony, a position of some importance, though unpaid. He represented the other colonists in their dealings with the owners of the colony. His term lasted three years.
He lived a long and full life. Urbain passed away in 1695 in Montreal at about 70 years of age. He was buried in the cemetery adjoining the Church of Notre-Dame the next day.
His children inherited their father's sense of determination and adventure. The second son, Jean-Baptiste, was a soldier, businessman and adventurer who later became a pioneer settler along the Gulf Coast in the Mobile, Alabama area. Gabriel was a carpenter and businessman who, along with his wife, lost his life on a trip exploring the Mississipi River while they were searching for minerals.
Paul, the third oldest son, stayed in the area of Montreal for most of his life. He married and had eight children who lived to adulthood. The youngest son, Jean (John), was a butcher, soldier, and farmer. He also married, had five children and lived in the Richelieu Valley region.
Today, the descendants of Urbain Baudreau dit Graveline are scattered from coast to coast in the United States and Canada. We hope that this book will serve as a catalyst to future generations of family researchers and historians to continue the work only begun here.
Urbain Baudreau dit Graveline came from France to Montreal during "The Great Recruitment Of 1653. Here is his story:
In 1633, Urbain Beaudreau was born in the port town of Gravelines, France to Jean Beaudreau and Marie Chaveau.
In the early 1650's, the French colony of Ville-Marie, now Montreal in Canada, was on the verge of extinction due to attacks by the Iroquois. Since there were only about 100 people living in the colony, the Governor General, M. de Maissoneuve, decided to recruit more colonists. Maisonneuve left Ville-Marie in the autumn of 1651, intent upon recruiting 100 new settlers. Between March and May of 1653, 153 young Frenchmen were recruited to go to Montreal and serve the colony. Urbain Beaudreau was one of these men. Urbain signed a contract agreeing to serve Montreal for 5 years in defense of the colony against the Iroquois, and to help clear the land, for 75 pounds annual salary. In return, he would be housed and fed, and, at the end of his contract, he would be brought back to France at no cost to himself, if he so desired. Similar agreements were made with the other recruits.
On June 20, 1653 a small ship, the St Nicholas of Nantes, left the port of Saint-Nazaire in France and began the journey to Quebec City. Unfortunately, after only a few days at sea, the ship began to take on water and had to return to France. A month went by before the Saint Nicolas of Nantes was once again deemed seaworthy. It departed France on July 20, 1653 with only 111 of the original 153 recruits, including young Urbain Beaudreau. The journey to Quebec City was fraught with hardships. There were many storms at sea, and several passengers became very ill on the trip. During the voyage, Urbain, along with Sister Marguerite Bourgeoys and others, nursed the sick. Eight recruits died on the journey. Finally, on September 22, 1653, the ship reached its destination, Quebec City.
Following a brief disagreement between the Governor Generals of Quebec City and Montreal over which colony would get the recruits, the new colonists journeyed to Montreal. On November 16, 1653, nearly five months after leaving the port of Saint-Nazaire, the little band of settlers finally set foot on the soil of Montreal.
Once his five-year contract was completed, Urbain returned to France. One year later, however, in 1659, he returned to Montreal to settle permanently. On October 20, 1664 Urbain married Marguerite (Mathurine) Juillet, a 15 year old girl, daughter of Blaise Juillet, a man who had moved to North America in 1644, and had been killed by the Iroquois in 1660.
Young couples were encouraged to populate the small colony and Urbain and Mathurine truly cooperated by having eight children. Their children were:
Gabriel Graveline - born July 24 1666 Marie Ursula Graveline - born December 8, 1668 Jean Baptiste dit Graveline - born May 18, 1671 Elizabeth Graveline - born May 3, 1673 Marie Ann Graveline - born August 29, 1675 Paul Graveline - born May 19, 1682 Marie Madeline Graveline - born June 9, 1686 Jean Graveline - born June 13, 1690
At first, Montreal (or Ville Marie, as it was called) was a missionary settlement. Later, as the fur trade spread, it became an important trading center. We know that Urbain and his sons were involved in the fur trade. On December 21, 1666 Urbain Baudreau dit Graveline is elected syndic of the community and preserves this station until May 31, 1667. Urbain prospered in New France and purchased several different properties. In 1687, Urbain bought two lots on Notre Dame Street, near the present Bonsecours Chapel. He built his in-town home on this property, but records show that he was living at a rural property, the Hills of St Francis on the east side of Montreal (Ville Marie), on acreage which he owned for farming purposes. In December, 1689, he bought land on the east side of St Gabriel Street between Notre Dame Street and St Therese Street, which he later sold to his future son in law, Pierre Ducharme. This land is occupied today by the building of the Quebec Provincial Archives, opposite the Auberge St Gabriel, the oldest Inn in North America, which was established in 1672.
On January 18, 1696, Urbain Beaudreau dit Graveline died. He was a wealthy man for his time. The eight children of Urbain and Mathurine left a mark on the histories of both Canada and the United States. His daughters married prosperous New France men and went on to produce large families of their own. The third child of Urbain and Mathurine was Jean Baptiste. He was born on May 18, 1671 and baptized the same day in Montreal.
