Western Digital: Barclays Ups to Buy on Cash Return, Hitachi Integration
Barclays's Ben Reitzes today raises his rating on shares of Western Digital (WDC) to Overweight from Equal Weight, and raises his price target to $98 from $95, writing that the stock could outperform the market based on increased returns of cash to shareholders and the full integration of the Hitachi storage products group, which is being operated separately at the moment.
Western shares are up $3.60, or 4.4%, at $86.20. Reitzes maintains an Equal Weight rating on competitor Seagate Technology (STX).
On the matter of cash return, Reitzes writes the company has been "conservative" thus far:
When WD announced the implementation of a cash return strategy in September 2012 we had always assumed the company would have a conservative approach to returning cash. This has played out largely as expected as the company has taken a measured approach to its buybacks since it announced its capital allocation plan calling for the company to return 50% of free-cash flow. We believe at the time of the announcement, WD (and the HDD industry) was managing through two transformative events that have since reshaped the industry (consolidation and post-Thailand flooding). As a result, we believe WD implemented a plan based on conservative assumptions as the industry was adapting to a new set of opportunities. Given the relative stability that currently exists within the industry, including flat-to-modestly declining TAM, relatively stable pricing and better mix of products, we believe WD can be more aggressive with its capital allocation strategy.
Western could afford to borrow a bunch fund a measurable boost in earnings, he writes:
For example, if the company were to raise an additional $2.5 billion in debt, the company would still have a pro-forma debt-to-capital ratio that was below STX's current level. The $2.5 billion repurchase alone could result in a minimum of ~6% EPS accretion in FY15. Under the current plan (returning 50% of free-cash flow), WD has been able to grow its dividend but it has not really seen a significant decline in its share count.
Full integration of the Hitachi business, assuming it receives regulatory approval, would bring cost savings, he writes:
Recall that back in March 2012 when WD's acquisition of HGST was conditionally approved, Western Digital and Hitachi GST had to maintain separate brands that operate independently for at least 24 months. WD recently stated that it re-applied for approval from MOFCOM to fully integrate these companies. Although we believe that over the two-year period, WD has found ways to optimize the cost structure of both companies within the MOFCOM guidelines, there is still room for further synergies. To that end, management has stated that OPEX synergies could reach $100 million per quarter or up to a little more than $1/share in our view. We also believe there is further opportunity to cut costs on the production level, which would show up on the COGS line, but this is more difficult to quantify. The company has been running CAPEX below its 5-7% of revenue target while rationalizing component vendors. However, we believe there is potential to optimize the cost structure even further around head and disk manufacturing. We do note however that the company has not shown a sense of urgency around obtaining the approval and that some of the upside may be capped after accounting for increased investments around the enterprise flash portfolio which the company has been investing heavily in for over a year.

Study Shows New Profile of Gender Achievement Gaps

Study Shows New Profile of Gender Achievement Gaps
Females are now doing as well as or better than males on many indicators of achievement and attainment, according to a new study by the U.S. Department of Education.
On the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), females outperformed their male peers on reading (2003) and writing (2002) assessments at the fourth, eighth and twelfth grades. In mathematics, the gender gap between average scale scores has been quite small and fluctuated only slightly between 1990 and 2003. At the college level, female freshmen were more likely than their male counterparts to graduate within six years (66 percent versus 59 percent).
Other findings reveal that females were less likely than males to repeat a grade and to drop out of high school, and that gender differences in math and science course-taking appeared to be shrinking.
"The issue now is that boys seem to be falling behind," said U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige. "We need to spend some time researching the problem so that we can give boys the support to succeed academically."
Although women have made substantial educational gains over the past 30 years, they are still underrepresented in some fields of study, such as computer science, engineering and the physical sciences, as well as in doctoral and first-professional degree programs, the study found.
Trends in Educational Equity of Girls and Women was produced by the Department's National Center for Education Statistics in the Institute of Education Sciences. To download a copy, visit http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2005016.
A Feeling of Community
Inclusion Efforts Help Indianapolis School Cope with Poverty, Turnover, Special Needs
There's a feeling of community, a sharing of ideas that makes our school so special that no one ever wants to leave," says Cindy Meek, a special education teacher who has taught at Paul I. Miller School 114 for 26 years.
But students do leave. During the 2002-03 school year, the Indianapolis, Ind., school experienced a 46-percent student turnover, due in large part to families constantly having to move to find better job opportunities.
The mobility rate reflects the dire conditions surrounding School 114: many of its neighbors live in low-income housing. Because of the overwhelming poverty, every student receives a free lunch.
Yet, School 114a 2004 No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon Schoolproves that the concepts of community and diversity are not at opposite ends of the learning spectrum. During the 2002-03 school year, the single-story building was also home to 132 students who received special education services30 percent of the 465 students who attended the school. While many of these students are immersed in regular classrooms, the school has two areas set aside for severely handicapped students, who are supported by a full-time nurse.
To meet the challenges presented by its diverse student body, the school has instituted a differentiated learning curriculum. Following periods of instruction, students break into small groups to work on targeted learning opportunities.
"Gifted students may work on enrichment activities while special education students receive focused instruction," explained Sherry Webber, a second-grade teacher in her 17th year at the at the school. "The small groups also provide an opportunity for us to work with students who need to catch up in a particular area."
For new students, teachers use the small group time to assess where they are in respect to School 114's curriculum. "When new students arrive, our teachers find out where they are academically and either help them catch up to our program or find ways to engage them if they are ahead," Principal Alan Stephens explained.
Teachers also use the small groups, such as the Young Authors program, to bring together students with different learning strengths and abilities.
"The Young Authors program is an opportunity for high- and low-achieving students to work together so everyone feels special," said Meek. As an example, she said a special education student who enjoys telling stories but cannot type may team up with another student who is able to use the computer. Together they write a story while a third student provides the illustrations.
The individual and small group attention is working. In fall 2004, 87 percent of School 114's third-graders passed the Indiana state exam in both English/language arts and math. These test scores, including those from the previous two years, have placed School 114 well above state and district averages.
"We have high expectations of our students, and our parents support us," noted Webber.
In return, School 114 celebrates the success of each of its students. The Honors Day ceremonies at the end of each quarter recognize students who excel in scholarship, attendance and good citizenship. It's not uncommon, explained Webber, for students to announce they are going to be recognized in all three areas before the school year is over.
"The awards build self-esteem," she said, noting the assemblies are a big deal. "We invite the parents and communityeveryone comes." In recognition of their achievements, students are given pencils, certificates or pins.
These assemblies are just one of several programs that provide opportunities for every student to be recognized. The local Kiwanis club, a leading service organization, hosts ceremonies to recognize School 114's Terrific Kids several times a year. They also support the BUGSBringing Up Gradesprogram.
With writing as a curriculum focus, the school has instituted writer-of-the-month awards for which teachers nominate students. The school throws a pizza party for everyone who is nominated, and the winning writers' names are placed on a wall display that stays up throughout the year.
For the Young Authors program, each book is bound and includes a note about the authors. An outside panel of community members spends a full day judging the submissions. Parents are invited to read the books at the school, and winning entries are displayed in the community. The books become treasured keepsakes, said Meek, who noted that one high school student recently told her that he still has the book he prepared in her classroom.
"The recognition that comes with these programs motivates our students to go through the writing process," she explained.
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindIndividuals with Disabilities Act
Last month, President Bush signed into law a bill revamping the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The new legislation builds on the reforms of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), including parental choice and academic results for students, while addressing issues of paperwork reduction and litigation to ensure a quality education for over six million children with disabilities.
Under NCLB, states and school districts must account for the academic progress of all students with disabilities, and new provisions released last year allow greater flexibility for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. In addition, in schools that have been identified as being in need of improvement, students with disabilities now have the same access to NCLB benefits as all other students. They are eligible to either transfer to a better performing school or receive supplemental educational services such as tutoring.
Following are the key changes in the nation's special education law:
Expand options for parents. Parents, along with the local education agency, may agree to make changes to a student's individualized education program (IEP) without having to hold a formal IEP meeting. They may instead develop a written document for an amendment.
Prevent requiring medication for education services. Schools cannot force parents to medicate their children as a condition of attending school, receiving an evaluation or receiving services.
Extend the timeline for teacher certification. New special education teachers who teach multiple subjects exclusively to students with disabilities and who are deemed "highly qualified" in math, language arts or science will have two years after their employment date to demonstrate competency in the other core academic subjects they teach.
Reduce the paperwork burden on teachers. A 15-state pilot program will allow states and school districts to offer parents the option of a multi-year IEP, not to exceed three years, as opposed to a yearly plan. Another pilot program will allow the U.S. secretary of education to waive certain paperwork requirements for up to 15 states.
Reduce litigation. Prior to a due process hearing, the local education agency must hold a resolution session with parents and IEP Team members within 15 days of receiving notice of a parent's complaint. In addition, a request for a hearing must be filed within two years from the date of the alleged violation.
Reduce misidentification of non-disabled children. School districts can address the problem of children being erroneously placed in special education by using a portion of their IDEA funding to provide intervention services to children who have not yet been identified as needing special education but need additional academic or behavioral support.
For more information on the new special education law, visit the Web site of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce at http://edworkforce.house.gov/issues/108th/education/idea/idea.htm.
Tips for Parents
For parents of children with special needs, an individualized education program (IEP) ensures students with disabilities receive the services needed. The plan is developed at an IEP team meeting with parents and school staff. Below are suggestions to help families throughout the process:
Before the IEP team meeting:
- Consider the vision you have for your child's future as well as for the next school year.
- Request a written copy of your child's evaluation results or a meeting with school staff to discuss the evaluation before the IEP meeting. Do these results fit with what you know about your child? Is the evaluation complete and accurate?
- Consider a variety of ways to involve your child in developing his or her IEP, starting at a young age if appropriate. Self-advocacy skills are important to develop.
At the meeting:
- Use school data, your child's progress reports, and other information you have about your child to make decisions.
- You may not want to agree to a proposed IEP at the end of the meeting. Review the proposed IEP document at home. If you disagree with what is being proposed, you must notify the school as soon as possible to resolve the disagreement.
After the meeting:
- Your child's school must inform you regularly about your child's progress. You will be informed about whether your child is making progress toward meeting the annual IEP goals and whether that progress is enough to reach the goals. If your child is not making sufficient progress, a meeting should be held to review the IEP and make needed changes.
- You may request an IEP meeting at any time during the year if you believe it is important to consider changes in your child's IEP.

Encouraging America's Youths to Make a Difference
The U.S. Department of Education, along with the USA Freedom Corps and the Corporation for National and Community Service, are looking to show elementary and middle school students that no age is too young, or no task too small, to make a difference in the world. The organizations recently launched a new Web site www.usafreedomcorpskids.gov to help direct the passions of youths toward volunteer opportunities in their communities.
The site is organized for kids (elementary school-age), youths (middle school-age), parents and teachers. It contains ideas for volunteer service, profiles of notable persons to encourage youths to volunteer, and additional Web resources. Ideas include taking a dog from an animal shelter for a walk, setting up a lemonade stand to raise funds for a local charity, and collecting canned food to help restock the shelves of a neighborhood food bank. And to further inspire youths to volunteer their time toward a worthy cause, the site includes interactive, illustrative games and a coloring book.
For teachers and parents, the site provides information on how to start a service program and how to support a child's involvement in one, respectively.
According to the site, those completing numerous hours of volunteer service can earn the President's Volunteer Service Award. Youths 14 and younger earn the award by completing 50 or more hours of service in one year, adults 100 hours or more, and families and groups at least 200 hours.
The USA Freedom Corps is an office of the White House that was started by President Bush to help expand volunteer service around the United States.

text: JR (love the guy) put us on the razor's edge with our OL this year. To begin with the overall quality in NFL terms was no better than B grade for our starters. Worse however was the lack of depth and quality of that depth. We were very fortunate to find Locklear who was a capable backup for Diehl. Once Locklear went down our only backups were Brewer and Cordle (we let the embarrasingly bad Petrus go mid season). In this league I don't know how you can enter a season so thin at OL. We were lucky that the injury bug didn't hit us with that unit. The results would have been disastrous.

Discussion in 'Photo & Video Gallery' started by Burden33, Feb 26, 2013.
hey guys well here is where my truck started and to where im at now. What do you guys think
I'm assuming that the first 3 pictures are how it looks now and the last 3 are how it used to look.
The truck looks good. What are the brand of those 6 spoke wheels you have?
MY suggestion, your truck should have another name than "Snowball".
Actually it's the opposite but the Tom and tires I'm running are my winter set up. Tell me about it but I never named it my gd did so I just kept it as that. My old rims are 20x9 fuel offload gauge wheels my new ones are ether going to be 20c12 or 22x11 haven't really decided yet
Yeah, I was about to say that it looks like the fender flares were added on, but the rims that are on there don't look like they're aftermarket ... so I figured that it was something like winter tires on there. Either way, nice.
Ya it's my winter setup I sold my old rims right before the winter and looking at new ones now for the summer
Separate names with a comma.

The Giants beat Green Bay twice in their own house but it was against Favre and then Rodgers. Also, no QB beats another QB unless they play defense.
The Giants beat Green Bay twice in their own house but it was against Favre and then Rodgers. Also, no QB beats another QB unless they play defense.
That's no really fair to say either. They played against different defenses. In both Championship runs the Giants defense was playing great football shutting teams down.
Young's first start wasn't until what 1992? He started out with the Washington Federals (yes, i was a big USFL fan). Aikman was also early 90s.
When Kelly, Marino, Elway were at their peak, Aikman/Young were just beginning. The QB era in the late 80's early 90s was dominated by Kelly, Marino, and Elway. Everyone was an afterthought until they disappeared or began to be over the hill.
In retrospect, the 90's was pretty much a dead period when it came to QBs. Who knows maybe because everyone was fresh off of memories from Kelly, Marino, and Elway. Everyone who directly followed just didn't come close. Favre, Young, Aikman. Who else am I missing?
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
But the key word is opinion. Nobody is wrong here, because nobody is "the deciding" factor on what exactly is the definition of "elite".
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
If there are 8 QBs in the league that have the stats, are winners, and can dominate most defenses, then that's what you have.
It's unfair to put a cap on how many QB's you can call elite.
It's like saying, sorry Eli, I know you threw for 4800 yards and 25 TD's, and two SB MVPs but we already have 4 guys that are slightly better so you can't be elite. You're just average.
That doesn't make sense.
Actually it kind of does. It just kind of depends on what the word 'elite' means to you. To me, there is always going to be a ranking system... an obvious best, his equal or runner up and maybe a guy knocking on the door.
I don't think you have to call the next few guys after that 'average'. Clearly they're better than average, but that doesn't mean they're elite. Not using anyone in particular, just trying to explain what Elite means to me.
Of course, the literal definition just indicates a group of people who are considered to be the best in some setting or another... not the best of the best. So my thinking is askew.
One thing is clear on these boards. Those that love Eli will draw the line in the sand that includes him in the "elite" catagory, and those that expect more from Eli will draw the line in the sand with him on the outside looking in. It is a debate that will probably continue until well after he does or does not get into the HOF.
Also, Rodgers was definitely off his game that day. He was missing throws that he usually nails and made a couple of poor decisions. Now, Rodgers receivers also played poorly in this game but the one sided officiating also helped the Packers out (I almost broke my brothers brand new $6,500 TV because I was angry with that crap). All in all, I think it would be a fair assessment to say Manning outperformed Rodgers in the Playoffs.
In regards to the Giants Super bowl run in 2007, I think your position has greater weight. Manning wasn't fully developed at the time and the Giants defense that year was beastly. To tell you the truth, I would probably have to rewatch the game to give an accurate assessment of the QB play.

Chicago Public Schools Office of New Schools
Authorizer Profile: Selected Characteristics (as of 2005–06 school year)
|First year of operation
|Number of staff
|Total number of schools
|Number of students
|Total number of school closures
Illinois State Charter Law: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=010500050HArt %2E+27A&ActID=1005 &ChapAct=105%26nbsp%3BILCS%26nbsp%3B5%2F&ChapterID=17&ChapterName=SCHOOLS&SectionID=17524 &SeqStar t=150000000&SeqEnd=151600000 &ActName=School+Code%2E
Somewhat unusual among public school districts, particularly large urban ones, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has truly embraced charter schools as an important option for its students. "When I talk to my colleagues in other cities, I'm not sure I have seen a situation where you have the city and the district embracing new schools in the way that we do," reflects Hosanna Mahaley Johnson. As the former chief of staff to CPS's chief executive officer, Mahaley Johnson oversaw the Office of New Schools, which deals with the city's charters.
Chicago has nearly reached the cap of 30 that was set by the state for the total number of charters it can authorize. But far from winding down, the CPS Office of New Schools is actually expanding. As part of the mayor's Renaissance 2010 initiative, the office is responsible for opening 100 new schools in Chicago by 2010. Given the state's cap, most of these will not be charters, but the district's charter experience has been a positive one, and the Renaissance 2010 effort builds on that experience in many ways, including in its commitment to accountability for the new schools.
All of Chicago's charter schools are held accountable for student performance based on a plan that includes several absolute performance indicators as well as a comparison of each school's performance to the schools in the neighborhoods where its students live. Schools also frequently exercise their option to propose unique learning standards. CPS staff proactively monitor compliance, but use a hands-off approach when schools are performing well. About 44 percent of Chicago's charter schools made AYP in 2004–05, compared to about 31 percent of all schools in Chicago. Although not all charters have met student performance targets, charters overall have been improving at a rate of 7 percent per year, while other CPS schools have been improving at a rate of 2 percent, according to Mahaley Johnson.
The commitment to accountability has been possible in part because of the strong support of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley and the school district's CEO Arne Duncan. The mayor and CEO have stood by decisions made by the district regarding who gets a charter and who gets renewed, despite occasional political pressure to do otherwise. The mayor and CEO also have been strong recruiters for the district, actively encouraging community organizations and other groups to apply to open new schools.
Chicago's Office of New Schools recruits locally for potential new school operators and uses a strategic multistate recruitment process to attract operators with a proven record of success from all over the country. The office has stepped up its effort to recruit by visiting successful schools both in Chicago and around the country (e.g., North Star Academy in Newark, N.J.) and by putting out a request for proposals that invites operators of national school models to apply and offers approval (if qualified) for five years with the ability to open multiple campuses.
Despite support from the mayor, CPS leadership, and from strong business partnerships, the Office of New Schools faces significant teacher union opposition to charters and also has had to address some community resentment remaining in neighborhoods where schools have been recently closed for poor performance. The office has worked to improve overall community relations. It has created two new staff positions that are responsible for community relations. These staff members focus on analyzing school data and presenting it in easily digestible ways for the public.
For neighborhoods where new schools are being opened in buildings that experienced school closings, the district also created local Transition Advisory Councils (TACs), which consist of community members who apply to be part of the process. Members are usually parents, faith-based community leaders, business leaders from the community, and sometimes some of the teachers from the closed school. They meet regularly to discuss community needs for the new school, conduct community outreach activities, host public forums, and make recommendations to CPS. "We have a strong belief that if you want to change the school, you have to have buy-in from the people who live there," says Mahaley Johnson.
As the city has neared the limit of the state's cap on charter schools, one approach has been to replicate existing charter schools where possible. Those that opened before 2003 and that meet certain criteria are eligible to apply to open additional campuses that do not count against the cap on new charter schools.
Because of the combined pressure of the cap and the Renaissance 2010 initiative, the Office of New Schools has been undergoing a significant transition. Mahaley Johnson and Beatriz Rendon, executive director of the Department of New School Support, both joined the Office of New Schools in March 2005 at approximately the same time the first group of Renaissance 2010 schools were awarded. They revamped the office to improve communication with schools, to increase accountability oversight of schools, and to ramp up for opening so many new schools by 2010.
Also, with the charter cap almost filled, the office is in the process of developing other options for opening new schools. Because district leadership supports high-quality options and accountability, CPS has introduced a "contract school" process (the details of which are still under negotiation) for opening new schools and, in order to encourage more teacher-led groups to open new schools, a "performance school" option, which entails opening unionized schools with a five-year performance contract.
The details of these new options are still being worked out, but they are intended to build on the district's experience with charters and are being designed in part to work around the charter school cap. CPS stresses the importance of high achievement and meeting community needs, giving preference to schools that will be located in certain priority communities in Chicago.
"Renaissance 2010 was an evolution of the charters," Rendon says. Reflecting on the mix of charters and other new school options, she adds, "Even though there are these distinct types of schools, there are more similarities than there are differences because the common thread amongst all of them is that they have these accountability agreements and they all certainly have some level of need for support during incubation."
Mahaley Johnson also focused on improving the office's support for the charter schools and other new schools. She would like the office to be known for providing support that is, in her words, "world class." She added new staff positions; each of these staff members acts as the main point of contact for a set of schools and is responsible for contacting and visiting those schools regularly, as well as for answering their questions.
A longer-term goal is to learn from the charters and other new schools in ways that help improve achievement throughout the district. "One day we'd like to be known for the sharing of best practices," says Mahaley Johnson. "When 2010 is at its end, and we've opened 100 schools, we will be serving 17 percent of the students in the district. So, I'd like to see us as a catalyst. When we look at our data, we see that the growth of the charter schools is three times the district schools' growth. So, I want to know what they are doing and then share that with other schools, so that it isn't just a side initiative, but we're really trying to transform the district."
"We're not in it to say charters are better than non-charters," adds Rendon. "We're in it to say, why is it that our charters are so successful? Why is it that they're ranking in the top five of any given indicator? And how can we share those practices across the district to ensure that we have as many quality options as possible? . . . We really see this as the next chapter in urban education. It's not that it's the right solution for every school, but this definitely has to be part of our portfolio. The only way we can succeed is with proven results. Nobody can argue with results."

A #1 New York Times Bestseller -- Friedman was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report. Friedman is a foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times; his column appears twice a week in the Times and is syndicated to one hundred other newspapers worldwide. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded." Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In vivid, entertaining chapters, Friedman makes it clear that the green revolution we need is like no revolution the world has seen. It will be the biggest innovation project in American history; it will be hard, not easy; and it will change everything from what you put into your car to what you see on your electric bill. But the payoff for America will be more than just cleaner air. It will inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time -- nation-building in America -- by summoning the intelligence, creativity, boldness, and concern for the common good that are our nation's greatest natural resources.

Book Description
Thomas L. Friedman's phenomenal number-one bestseller The World Is Flat has helped millions of readers to see the world in a new way. In his brilliant, essential new book, Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: America's surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11; and the global environmental crisis, which is affecting everything from food to fuel to forests. In this groundbreaking account of where we stand now, he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked--how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time.
Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded." Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things--unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green.
This is a great challenge, Friedman explains, but also a great opportunity, and one that America cannot afford to miss. Not only is American leadership the key to the healing of the earth; it is also our best strategy for the renewal of America.
In vivid, entertaining chapters, Friedman makes it clear that the green revolution we need is like no revolution the world has seen. It will be the biggest innovation project in American history; it will be hard, not easy; and it will change everything from what you put into your car to what you see on your electric bill. But the payoff for America will be more than just cleaner air. It will inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, boldness, and concern for the common good that are our nation's greatest natural resources.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.
Thomas Friedman and Fareed Zakaria: Author One-to-One
Fareed Zakaria: Your book is about two things, the climate crisis and also about an American crisis. Why do you link the two?
Thomas Friedman: You're absolutely right--it is about two things. The book says, America has a problem and the world has a problem. The world's problem is that it's getting hot, flat and crowded and that convergence--that perfect storm--is driving a lot of negative trends. America's problem is that we've lost our way--we've lost our groove as a country. And the basic argument of the book is that we can solve our problem by taking the lead in solving the world's problem.
Zakaria: Explain what you mean by "hot, flat and crowded."
Friedman: There is a convergence of basically three large forces: one is global warming, which has been going on at a very slow pace since the industrial revolution; the second--what I call the flattening of the world--is a metaphor for the rise of middle-class citizens, from China to India to Brazil to Russia to Eastern Europe, who are beginning to consume like Americans. That's a blessing in so many ways--it's a blessing for global stability and for global growth. But it has enormous resource complications, if all these people--whom you've written about in your book, The Post American World--begin to consume like Americans. And lastly, global population growth simply refers to the steady growth of population in general, but at the same time the growth of more and more people able to live this middle-class lifestyle. Between now and 2020, the world's going to add another billion people. And their resource demands--at every level--are going to be enormous. I tell the story in the book how, if we give each one of the next billion people on the planet just one sixty-watt incandescent light bulb, what it will mean: the answer is that it will require about 20 new 500-megawatt coal-burning power plants. That's so they can each turn on just one light bulb!
Zakaria: In my book I talk about the "rise of the rest" and about the reality of how this rise of new powerful economic nations is completely changing the way the world works. Most everyone's efforts have been devoted to Kyoto-like solutions, with the idea of getting western countries to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. But I grew to realize that the West was a sideshow. India and China will build hundreds of coal-fire power plants in the next ten years and the combined carbon dioxide emissions of those new plants alone are five times larger than the savings mandated by the Kyoto accords. What do you do with the Indias and Chinas of the world?
Friedman: I think there are two approaches. There has to be more understanding of the basic unfairness they feel. They feel like we sat down, had the hors d'oeuvres, ate the entrée, pretty much finished off the dessert, invited them for tea and coffee and then said, "Let's split the bill." So I understand the big sense of unfairness--they feel that now that they have a chance to grow and reach with large numbers a whole new standard of living, we're basically telling them, "Your growth, and all the emissions it would add, is threatening the world's climate." At the same time, what I say to them--what I said to young Chinese most recently when I was just in China is this: Every time I come to China, young Chinese say to me, "Mr. Friedman, your country grew dirty for 150 years. Now it's our turn." And I say to them, "Yes, you're absolutely right, it's your turn. Grow as dirty as you want. Take your time. Because I think we probably just need about five years to invent all the new clean power technologies you're going to need as you choke to death, and we're going to come and sell them to you. And we're going to clean your clock in the next great global industry. So please, take your time. If you want to give us a five-year lead in the next great global industry, I will take five. If you want to give us ten, that would be even better. In other words, I know this is unfair, but I am here to tell you that in a world that's hot, flat and crowded, ET--energy technology--is going to be as big an industry as IT--information technology. Maybe even bigger. And who claims that industry--whose country and whose companies dominate that industry--I think is going to enjoy more national security, more economic security, more economic growth, a healthier population, and greater global respect, for that matter, as well. So you can sit back and say, it's not fair that we have to compete in this new industry, that we should get to grow dirty for a while, or you can do what you did in telecommunications, and that is try to leap-frog us. And that's really what I'm saying to them: this is a great economic opportunity. The game is still open. I want my country to win it--I'm not sure it will.
Zakaria: I'm struck by the point you make about energy technology. In my book I'm pretty optimistic about the United States. But the one area where I'm worried is actually ET. We do fantastically in biotech, we're doing fantastically in nanotechnology. But none of these new technologies have the kind of system-wide effect that information technology did. Energy does. If you want to find the next technological revolution you need to find an industry that transforms everything you do. Biotechnology affects one critical aspect of your day-to-day life, health, but not all of it. But energy--the consumption of energy--affects every human activity in the modern world. Now, my fear is that, of all the industries in the future, that's the one where we're not ahead of the pack. Are we going to run second in this race?
Friedman: Well, I want to ask you that, Fareed. Why do you think we haven't led this industry, which itself has huge technological implications? We have all the secret sauce, all the technological prowess, to lead this industry. Why do you think this is the one area--and it's enormous, it's actually going to dwarf all the others--where we haven't been at the real cutting edge?

(Opening Statement)
"Last week at this time we spoke about our team from week one to week two needing to make significant progress. I thought we did make progress in a number of areas last week, in all three phases: offensively, defensively, and special teams. There are still some areas of concern. I think the one that's evident is just our overall depth and the only way that you'll prove that is to develop your players and recruit. So, that is what it is. This is a concern right now as we continue to move forward and our quality of opponents continue to increase, the physicality of the games continue to increase. That obviously is a concern. I think our overall style of play is still developing by which we want to play defense, the way we want to play offense, the way we want to play special teams. It's our players understanding consistency and performance and taking pride in their performance. Not just on game day but throughout the course of the week of preparation. We had a lot of individuals who had great performances perform that way in practice.
"We had some individuals who I was a little disappointed in their performance and it was the way that they practiced. We have to learn to come to work. In order to get better, you have to come to work each and every day with a hardhat mentality. Our players are getting there. I think they understand that. I think we had about anything and everything that could occur throughout the course of the game, occur. We had to suffer through some adversity, some momentum swings, and that's all mental conditioning. It's how you embrace sudden change. About two or three minutes to go in the first half we suffered all that. I liked our mindset. I liked our focus. At halftime there wasn't any panic. Our team needed to suffer some of that. They needed to go through that.
"I think it's also our players understanding the complimentary plays, how each play sets off of each other. There are good examples and there are poor examples. The first example is on the special team game. We downed a punt on the one-yard line and the next possession Justin Coleman interception, touchdown. That changes the complexion of the game. Third-and-one we don't get, which is unacceptable, and then they come back, drive the ball, and score a touchdown. Momentum's changing, it's third down, we throw a pass and it's dropped that could've resulted in a touchdown. That's points off the board. We punt the ball and boom they score. Then at the end of the game, we throw a deep ball and the receiver has to go and high point it, quarterback's got to get it out there, and then we give up a blocked punt which is flat out inexcusable, especially on a two man rush. Those are things that each play sets up, and like I told our team, a game can be influenced by two to three plays that can make a difference.
"Really, four to six plays can make a difference in a season and you never know which plays those are going to be. That's why you have to be dialed in. You have to be locked in on each and every snap. I did think our team took strides. I thought we progressed.
"As we all know, going to play the number two team in the country, they're 31-3 at home in the last five years, four consecutive BCS bowl games, and they're as good as advertised. Probably the most complete team I've seen in a number of years to date. Team speed, everything that you think of when you think of Oregon comes to your mind. A very, very athletic quarterback that can throw the football, make plays with his legs. Great team speed on the perimeter, great running back, physical offensive line. Defensively, very, very physical, very skilled in the secondary, and then where you really notice it is in the special teams. Our special teams game, just from a speed standpoint alone, is going to be challenged this week. So, I'll answer any questions you may have."
(On mental conditioning and the importance against Oregon)
"Absolutely. We call it mental conditioning for success in everything that we do. It's controlling the mind. Not only are we talking about a physical presence, but a mental presence. How do we respond? First of all, first road game with this football team, a number of individuals will be making their first road trip and what an environment. The week of preparation, what it's going to take going on the road, just let alone a communicative standpoint. Being able to handle sudden change and not get down, that's that confidence, that's that don't look up at the scoreboard, that's leadership. All that goes into that."
(On how to talk to the guys about being big underdogs)
"Well, I think it gets back to focusing on the process. Obviously they're a great football team. It's a tremendous, tremendous challenge but it's also a great opportunity. We have to have a great week of preparation. You talked about mental conditioning, that toughness is going to be on display. We're going to have to be able to withstand without substituting seven, eight, nine plays in a row. Can our defensive front play mean football for eight, nine plays in a row without substituting? Can we get lined up fast and decipher the call and execute our assignment when you can't hear, you can't communicate? You're on the road, you're in a hostile environment, and you're in a different environment that nobody's used to, even being in. That's all part of that mental toughness, that mental conditioning. So, it's all going to be on display and a lot of our younger players are going to have to grow up in a hurry."
(On how difficult it is to replicate Oregon's tempo in practice)
"Each offense has it's little nuances and little differences in their style of play. Our defense has been practicing against it since spring but they do a great job of mixing their tempos up. I think the thing they do a great job with is they create space in everything that they do. It's space and pace. That's the way they play. It's pace and space, pace and space. So, we're going to have to be great one-on-one tacklers. We're going to have to win our one-on-one matchups. They do a great job in the return game as well in creating space and letting their athletes go to work. Also, with Oregon, they're not a finesse football team. They're a physical football team. They have depth, and it's probably the most complete Oregon football team I've seen in a number of years. When you look at the returning starters that they have on offense and defense, you can that, and they've done a great job of recruiting as well."
(On how his defense has done with playing in space thus far)
"Well, I think our tackling has improved but I believe we had five missed tackles last week and we can't have that. Missed tackles are a direct correlation of big plays. So again, the speed level is going to be different, space is going to be different, and we have to continue to work on that. A lot it is just fundamentals. It's running your feet, it's having a great base, it's keeping your head up, and it's war in your sights. The other thing that they're going to challenge us in is our overall eye discipline. Did we improve from game one to game two with our eye discipline? Yes. Is it where it needs to be to play winning football and championship football? No, not anywhere where it needs to be and we're going to be challenged with their play-action game, and all the tempos, and all the different things going on Saturday."
(On how he emphasizes turnovers in practice)
"It's a standard by which we live by each and every day, even though you have to coach it, you have to teach it every single day. We even do a ball disruption video. Just creating habits. Dontavis Sapp, I spoke about it after the game, was textbook. We had a gang tackle, he started the lawn mower, ripped the ball out, and then recovered it. There's also a technique to what we call ground recovery. There's a technique to scoop and score, knuckles on the ground. So, you can see some of those fundamentals and some of those habits taking place. That's some of the progression and progress that we made from game one to game two. Obviously, we're going to be challenged that much more. We live it everyday and we take great pride of it in our program."
(On if he had them restart a drill because performance wasn't acceptable)
"Absolutely. It's the way we run the football. It's the ball disruption. It's simple things as impacting the quarterback. Everyone thinks how do you impact a quarterback? Well, hits on the quarterback or sacks. Well, there are more things than just impacting the quarterback. It's mirroring the off hand of the quarterback. It's getting your hand up in the throwing lane. Those are all things that you have to practice over and over and over again to form those championship habits that we talk about. It's still a work in progress. We're not still habitually there where it needs to be. Again, that's been the staple of our football teams in the past and also taking care of the football as well. We teach a lot of pictures from the game. I think pictures speak a thousand words."
(On the error of the blocked punt)
"Just a fundamental aspect and not squaring the defender up in a two man rush. I'm responsible for it. I coach the punt. We've had very few punt blocks in, I want to say, 15 years of running this punt. The individual is very prideful. It was a mistake and we'll get it corrected. It was just a fundamental. You're supposed to take him on square and we didn't. We picked a side and he squeezed through. The shields didn't do a good job of covering it. We spent as much time on punt as any aspect, as you guys know, in our football program. It's inexcusable."
(On not letting big plays snowball)
"Well, I think first of all it's a mindset. They're going to get their plays. They're going to make their big plays. That's a function of what they do. That's part of their offense. But it's not letting one big play equal two, equal three, equal four, and have a snowball effect and that's part of that mental conditioning. We have to force them and make them drive the football on us, and that's very challenging. You just have to look at their body of work this year, but not just this year, but over the last three, four, five years. So again, staying the course. It's focusing one snap at a time, just one snap at a time. That's going to be at a premium on Saturday."
(On Oregon's defense)
"You're exactly right. You just hit it. I talked about complimentary football plays. Also, they're playing great complimentary football as a team. Each phase compliments each other. Defensively, they're physical, they're athletic, they run to the football, they have disruptive quickness up front. This is an explosive defensive line. Their linebackers are out there and they can play man coverage. When I said a complete football team, everyone when they think of Oregon, they think of offense. They look and they think of skill and they think of fast pace, but really they're well coached, they have an identity, and their identity is found in all three phases."
(On Oregon's new coaches)
"Well I've said it, the great programs they win with consistency and continuity. If you look at their coaching staff, they've had that consistency and continuity. So, the teaching is the same. Even with Chip (Kelly) leaving it hasn't changed much. They've done a great job. I look at the fundamental aspect of the football team and we spoke about a lot of times when you play fast, the things that are compromised are your fundamentals. I don't see this with this football team. I think they've been on the cutting edge in college football from the sports science part of it, of having resources available to their players. Being able to monitor where they're at with being able to take care of their bodies, sleep, nutrition, and all that. I think they've been a step ahead in that world and I think it all shows."
(On preparing for the up tempo offense of Oregon)
"Well we've practiced that a lot and so we say it's always easier to slow down than it is to speed up and we're going to play our brand of football. We'll mix our tempos up but we're going to do whatever it takes to win the football game and it's going to take a phenomenal effort but again our kids are very prideful and I know we're looking forward to the challenge but we have to do a great job of really putting our players in a position to succeed and win their one on one matchups and it's going to be a great challenge but the tempo part of it, mixing the tempos up, that won't change."
(On how they'll prepare to play in Autzen)
"No we just have to continue to use the tools that we use you know and communication again is going to be at a premium and that's one of the loudest stadiums in the country so I think it's a great opportunity and I think it's a great deal in developing this football team to be able to go on the road in a place like Oregon. It's extremely difficult in the venue that it is and perform at a championship level and everyone has to bring their A game so we'll prepare our players just like we do each and every week and we'll have the controlled chaos. You know, it's challenging. Where it's really difficult is to really simulate game conditions against Oregon is your scout team. You know that's where it's going to be a challenge for our defense and we're going to have to find some creative measures in terms of really getting them to finish the play and get back and get the call and get lined up and that's the thing that we can't lose sight of is that it's still about finishing plays. I think sometimes there's a mindset that we've got to get lined up, we've got to get lined up that players forget to finish plays. And at the end of the day it still comes down to one on one matchups and finishing plays."
(On the offensive difference in the second half vs. WKU)
"We just executed. We didn't really get into a rhythm in the first half and I think a lot of that was a byproduct of the nature of the game and every game is different but we executed and that was great to see. We started executing throwing which was good to see. We made the plays and like with the plays I spoke about earlier in the press conference, those are all in the first half and the second half I thought Justin [Worley] calmed down. I thought he was extremely efficient; there was one throw that we would have liked to have back, really two in the second half. Again another great teaching tool, we drive the ball the length of the field. We have third down and long and we're in field goal range and we force the football. Hey, sometimes throwing the football away is a great play because it's one play and we have three points in our pocket so lets take the three points. That's the maturation of a quarterback but we just executed."
(On slowing down the offense in the second half against WKU)
"We just slowed it down to give our defense a break. I think that's the thing, just playing great defense is also at times an offense protecting its defense and we wanted to slow the game down a little bit and we knew that Western Kentucky had an explosive offense. They're efficient so we just wanted to slow things down."
(On playing Oregon and Florida back to back away games)
"Well it's a great challenge for us and we're asking a lot of our players you know it's going to be a great challenge but we'll find out more where we're at. It is what it is but we need to focus on the preparation for this week and playing winning football. You look at the overall nature of our schedule this year, like I told you, some people said it is the most difficult schedule in the history of college football and that's why I keep talking about competing for ourselves, championship habits, focusing on the process, and being able to stand and persevere and show great resiliency because our schedule dictates that as well but schedules are so set up and laid out far in advance, years in advance, but a lot of times that's just the ways it occurs and there is nothing we can do about it. Again it's also a great opportunity to and it's putting Tennessee on a national stage when you're going to play the number two team in the country so there are some benefits that come from it as well."
(On Oregon's quarterback Marcus Mariota)
"It makes it extremely challenging. That's the thing, not only do they have great backs and great receivers and great tight ends but they have a running quarterback so now you talk about discipline from your defense and executing assignments. You know, one missed assignment can be catastrophic to a defense. One guy having an eye violation whether he's the pitch or the dive man or the quarterback with no backs and a quarterback draw. It's going to challenge our discipline. I think it limits your packages too because of the tempo."
(On the very successful Oregon offense)
"It is and you know you're very, very beat and that's the thing is you can't key on one individual. They do a great job of mixing their personnel up, rotation of receivers at times. When you have a quarterback who's a dual threat who can run and who can pass that makes it double the challenge for the defense."
(On the different routes in the Oregon passing game)
"No you know our defense is used to that. They just always give you the mindset that they're always attacking. We have to have an attack mode back defensively and we have to be poised, we have to be calm, we have to be collected, we have to be confident."
(On being poised, calm and collected on defense)
"We talk about that all the time, not just because we're playing Oregon but we talk about it in team meeting."
(On Daniel McCullers)
"Well Daniel has really improved his pass rush skills and Saulsberry has been giving us a great rush in our third down package. We try to rotate our defensive lineman to keep them fresh. Dan continues to be work in progress. Dan is still one of those individuals though that need to learn that your practice habits are critical to carrying over to your game day performance and Dan is doing things that I have not seen him done off of film. Positive note: I think he's playing with greater effort, I think his mindset, his physicality have improved and he's very, very prideful. He doesn't say a lot but he listens and holds to every word you say. But we're still trying to teach him the importance of practice and he's going through the exact same learning curve that John Hughes, who's the starting defensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns who was with us at Cincinnati, he's going through the same maturation process that Derek Wolfe went through in his first year with us who's now with the Denver Broncos and they had great, great, great senior years and we expect a lot and demand a lot from Dan because he is very capable of being a difference maker and I've been pleased right now with his progress. We're in a relative early stage of the season."
(On McCullers during 1st and 2nd down)
"We'll you know he is [disruptive], the other thing is about staying ahead of change and you know in the first half last week we did a great job when we needed him on first down. Second and long, where we ran into issues in the first half of the Western Kentucky game was third and long and second and long. You work so hard to get ahead of the sticks and now you have to cash in on that and that's a point of emphasis. If you can win first down and stay ahead of the sticks, whether its offensively or defensively pretty much playing the law of percentages you're going to be pretty successful."
(On the injuries to Jacques Smith, Curt Maggitt and Corey Vereen)
"Well we totally anticipate having Jacques Smith back and he's been cleared to practice. He'll practice today. Curt Maggitt will be another; we'll see how he progresses throughout the week of practice. He's continually getting better and progressing. Corey Vereen, we'll know a little bit more about how he progresses throughout the week of practice but I'm very encouraged by all three individuals."
(On the importance of limiting missed tackles this week)
"Critical, you know the secondary is the last line of defense so we have to be sure tacklers. We have to understand how to leverage the football. Most big plays given up by the defense are usually by mental errors, missed assignments or lost leverage on the football and then missed tackles. We have to do a great job this week of really - we stress it every week - of really leveraging the football and getting 11 hats to the football."
(On the Georgia and Florida losses)
"You know I've been so focused on us and the SEC is the best football conference in the country. It's just I've lived in a bunker. All my focus has been on Austin Peay and Western Kentucky and now Oregon. My car goes home, office and so I don't pay much particular attention to really what's going on I've been so focused to getting this team ready."
(On having multiple running backs)
"Well I think in today's world of college football from a durability aspect and the pounding running backs take, not only are they getting hit every snap they run the football but they're involved in pass protection when they're on the perimeter. You need more than one running back. In a perfect world in our offense we need three or four running backs and Marlin and Rajion right now are really complimenting each other and I believe combined they had like 170 yards rushing and the great thing is they're feeding off each other, they're encouraging each other. They're a one and one punch so when you move forward with our football team, we have to have the ability to recruit a number of these type of running backs because we want to use them like we do in our offense. We want to use three or four, sometimes we may use up to five if we're able to."
(On running backs running north and south)
"I did, you know I thought that was something making strides from game one to game two. I thought Rajion got more north and south and ran behind his pads. I thought Marlin Lane did the same thing so I thought we took strides in that area."

Industry Shows Fast Growth
With a reading of 54.2, Gardner's metalworking business index for January showed that conditions in the metalworking industry have improved dramatically.
Steven Kline, Jr.
Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner Business Media
With a reading of 54.2, Gardner's metalworking business index for January showed that conditions in the metalworking industry have improved dramatically. The industry has grown three of the last four months, but January's rate of growth was the fastest since April 2012. The index was 9.1 percent higher than it was one year ago, the fifth straight month that has happened.
New orders grew for the fourth consecutive month, reaching their highest level since March 2012. Production also has grown for four straight months, reaching its highest level since April 2012. Importantly, the backlog index grew for the first time in nearly two years, and the trend indicates that capacity utilization in the metalworking industry should increase in 2014. Employment is growing at its fastest rate since summer 2012. Exports continued to contract, and at a faster rate in January, likely due to the start of tapering by the Federal Reserve and its effect on many world currencies. Supplier deliveries continue to lengthen at a rate consistent with the last year.
Material prices increased at a notably faster rate in January than they did throughout 2013. Prices received grew significantly faster as well, however not as fast as material prices. Future business expectations have soared since last August and are now at their highest since March 2012.
For the first time since March 2012, plants of all sizes grew. Facilities with more than 50 employees saw their rate of growth jump significantly, while plants with 20-49 employees grew for the first time since last July. Facilities with fewer than 20 workers grew for the first time since March 2012.
Future capital spending plans reached their highest level since February 2013, but they fell just slightly from last January. The annual rate of change of future spending plans has grown for three straight months, indicating that actual capital spending should grow faster in upcoming months.

Hi Everyone,
One of my packages I hived on April 13th, turned into a drone hive. There wer about 3 frames with nothing but drone on them. I put in a supercedure cell from another hive on May 11th. On May 24th I saw the queen and most of the drone brood had hatched out. I only saw a hand-sized section of regular brood on one frame. I did see two supercedure cells. Should I allow this hive to produce another queen or give this new queen a longer time period to get used to her job?
