'A Place at the Table' to be shown in Pine River
"A Place at the Table" will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at The Warehouse in Pine River, sponsored by the Pine River-Backus Family Center and the Pine River Area Food Shelf.
The movie addresses the country's hunger crisis, but it also speaks to larger hungers — hunger for independence, a dignified life, a better chance for one's children. It tells the powerful stories of three Americans who maintain their dignity even as they struggle just to eat. "A Place at the Table" shows how the issue could be solved, once the American public decides that ending hunger is in the best interests of everyone.
For more information, call the family center at 218-587-4292.

1.800.555.8260 We're here to help
As a registered member, you'll be able to:
I have a small trunk with a cutom (pretty small) sealed box. I wanna go cheap but this is the last upgrade il do. 10 inch subs only. I have 2 kicker comp 10s and they kick hard but i wanna replace them and the amp. (not the box)
So is a cvx really that much better if my box is very litmited? should I stick with the CVR or go all the way?
If I do go with the CVX, what is an amp I can use to power them? (I have a 1200 watt wiring kit)
Let me kick something past you before you do that ...
You were considering the Hifonics HFI1000d.
It's specs are (probably over-rated, at):
That gives a prediction of 356W RMS at 8-ohms - which is about right for the Kicker Comps if the amp is a bit generous.
Get the new amp and wire the Kicker Comps in series at 8-ohms to it and set the gain to give them 300W RMS - 48.98 Volts AC.
You are going from 50W to 150W to each sub or triple the power.
If it sounds good, you saved yourself the cost of the CVR's. If you still want more, you can buy the CVR's later and you still haven't lost anything.
Just a thought ...
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
10-inch CVX handles 750W RMS each - One CVX would be about the same as two CVR's (in power handling - probably not in volume).
Hifonics BRZ1200.1D or BRZ1700.1D would be a good amp for the DVC-4-ohm subs wired in parallel-parallel for 1-ohm final.
Corey Danger(I have a 1200 watt wiring kit)
Means nothing, but the HFi1000D uses an 80A fuse and needs at least a 4-guage wiring kit. The amps above use 140A and 160A fuses and would need at least 2-gauge wiring (and maybe alternator/battery upgrades as well).
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
ok, I doubt il upgrade the battery or anything... But Kicker says the CVX had a 600 watt RMS for the 10s... which is what il be getting.
Corey Dangerok, I doubt il upgrade the battery or anything
It's not really optional. If the car won't start every couple of days, you either improve the alternator or don't play the subs as loud (which defeats the purpose of getting better subs and a better amp).
Corey DangerBut Kicker says the CVX had a 600 watt RMS for the 10s.
Correct - I made a bone-head mistake and looked up the specs for a 10CVX122 (10 is the production year, not the sub size). The 10's are 600W, you would want the BRZ1200.1D and forget about the BRZ1700.1D.
So, If I get the BRZ1200.1D, and run the 2 Kicker CVXs, do you think my battery will go down?I really wanna keep this cheap, and dont feel like upgrading my battery while also paying more for amp and subs.Should I upgrade to the CVR's or do you think I can power the CVXs and not have to worry about battery?idk if it matters but...I keep my headunit around 20-25 out of 50 most of the time, so I rarely go over half way on my volume.
im really leaning toward the CVRs right now.I want an upgrade but it would be so much cheaper to go with the CVRs, and then I just wont have to worry about the battery.Maby the next car il get will just be loaded with subs when il have money then.
Sucks being a teenager with little money... any suggestions? CVR or CVX?
I think 2 CVRs fully powered will be hella loud. To go to the next level from there likely means upgrading your whole electrical system.
I have a similar sized car ('98 Honda Prelude) with only 500 watts on a single ported 10 and another 50x4 on the speakers. It gets louder than most people can stand. No, it won't win any SPL competitions but it should satisfy most people, and I like my bass LOUD.
2 fully powered CRVs would make me more than happy, and probably rattle my car to bits in the process.
My opinion is go with CRVs
Good luck
1998 Honda Prelude, Pioneer DEH-P9400BH + Sirius tuner, Kicker KS6.2 front components, Kicker KS6930 rear speakers, Alpine MRP-F300 for speakers, Alpine SWR-1022 in ported box, Rockford Fosgate Punch 501s for sub.
Corey DangerShould I upgrade to the CVR's or do you think I can power the CVXs and not have to worry about battery?idk if it matters but...I keep my headunit around 20-25 out of 50 most of the time, so I rarely go over half way on my volume.
ColumbusJBR likely has the best answer, but just for completeness.
Whether you have to worry about the battery really depends on alternator size, but we are talking about a 2000 Mustang convertible (comparatively large alternator), with the stock Mach 460 main speakers and head unit.
First off, if you are only going up to halfway on the head unit volume, I would think the Comps (properly powered) would be a bit much and you would end up reducing the gain on the amp to blend them with the mains. Between the HFi1000d and the BRZ1200.1D amps, we are talking about 80A draw as opposed to 140A draw (in addition to the normal vehicle electrical). That is running both amps full out, so if you didn't turn the amp all the way up, it doesn't make much sense to spend the extra money. (Similar to buying a Corvette instead of your Mustang if you are only driving 45 MPH to the grocery store.)
I get what your saying, but my gain is pretty high up there (almost max) and bass bosot is on +6 (i think +12 is to much, I feel like im overpowering them)and around 25 volume, the bass really does kick and I love it but I like ALLOT of bass and im scared to blow the subs turning them up to high, I really do feel the CVR will provide more power.
So properly powering the CVRs will in fact allow me to use more bass and set the gain to a proper level instead of trying to get all the power out of the amp.My comps may not be all that efficent due to the cheap amp (Dual 400 watt amp) and the small sealed enclosure, so I just want to be able to push more power through to get more out of it., I understand that I could upgrade simply the box and everything but im looking for more ouput from amp and subs, im keeping the box.**I know this amp may push 75RMS to each sub, and I know its half, but watching the subs around half volume on a bass heavy song I just feel like its pushing to much. Watching youtube videos of the same subs and better ones, I just feel like im pushing mine to hard...then again, maby im just overprotective. But I want to be able to properly set gain and everything on powerful subs instead of what im doing now (max gain and some bass boost) by the time my headunit gets to 30/50 my speakers start to distort and I wish I could throw in more bass**
Need to back up ...
Setting the gain "pretty high up" is not the best way to max out the amp or ensure you don't damage the subs.
If you aren't good at setting it by ear, pick up a DMM and see: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/3704-how-to-set-your-amplifier-gain/
And - http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/ohmslawcalculators.asp#voltage - bottom equation.
The XPE2700 amp with a 30A fuse, correct?
We never got an answer on how the subs were wired or whether they are SVC-8-ohm or SVC-4-ohm, but you would use the DMM to set the gain to the lower of the subs power handling or the predicted clean output of the amp.
Give me more info and we can go from there - for the CVR's, you would want 800W RMS at 1-ohm, so your target voltage is 28.28 VAC.
Corey DangerSo properly powering the CVRs will in fact allow me to use more bass and set the gain to a proper level instead of trying to get all the power out of the amp.
Correct - you want to get all the power the subs can handle or all the CLEAN (non-clipped, non-distorted) power out of the amp - whichever is less.
ok well the amp is the XPE2700, your right. My gain is maxed out and bass boost is on +6The subs im not sure of the ohms... I really just dont know, and the instructions manuel that came with them is for both 4 and 8 resistance...so idk.they are wired so that the amp is putting power to 2 channels, all I know.Volume: 10Mids and Highs: Decent / Bass: pretty weak
Volume: 15Mids and Highs: average / Bass: kinda weak
Volume: 20Mids and Highs: loud / Bass: average
Volume: 25Mids and Highs: really loud! / Bass: above average
Volume: 30Mids and Highs: Insanily loud!!! / Bass: heavy and good... but i want more
Volume: anything past 35...Mids and Highs: I think im deaf! / Bass: now thats good... but I could use more (im addicted)All my friends seem agree on that .
Okay, it really doesn't matter with this system, but you might want to see what you can do with it before you go any further.
You need to know what the subs impedance is.
If you take one out of the box, they should have the model number on the back. C108 is 8-ohm and C104 is 4-ohm.
If you don't want to take them out, you'll need a DMM to set the gain properly anyway - just measure the DC Resistance of each sub. It will probably be a bit low, but if it's 3.8-ohms, they're 4-ohm, if it's 7.2-ohms, they're 8-ohms.
Most likely they are 4-ohm. If so, you are somewhat out of luck - the amp will (according to ratings) supply 50W to them each in stereo. You could wire them in series and bridge the amp and you should split 100W RMS to them, but you will never get the full 150W Rated power out of the amp. With them wired as they are, your target voltage for setting the gain would be 14.14 Volts AC.
Now - you might find that they are 8-ohms subs. In that case, you are really in luck. The way you have them wired, the amp is sending maybe 38W at 8-ohms to each sub. Wire them in parallel and bridge the amp and that jumps to 150W @ 4-ohms. Double the power to each sub from nothing more than a simple wiring change!!! If you do that, your target voltage across the bridged terminals is 24.49 Volts AC.
I'll be AFK until Monday, but hopefully this helps.
ehh, I checked... 4oms -.-okay, well I guess il just upgrade to the CVR and go from there.thanks for the help.
ah yeah, good idea. Thanks, i might try that. I dont mind paying to much more for the CVRs tho, and it would be cool to have them anyway instad of base model comps.I jsut didnt wanna throw even more money for a bigger amp and then even more money on 2 CVXs if the CVRs would satasify, which it looks like im really going to get some kick from them. Thanks for the help
Oh, quick question, when I get the Hifonics HFI1000d, and upgrade to CVRs, I want the 4ohm version, and wire the amp to 1omh?Is this correct?
Also, what would be the difference in me getting the 2ohm version of the subwoofer?
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

Peter Doig
17 Aug 2001 - 28 Oct 2001
The National Gallery of Canada (NGC) is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Canada of paintings by leading British artist Peter Doig. The exhibition features eleven major paintings made during the last decade, on loan from public and private collections in Europe and North America. Peter Doig will be shown at the National Gallery from 17 August to 28 October 2001. The exhibition presents the development of Doig's recent works which are fascinating large-scale oil paintings that reveal a tension between abstraction and figuration, while also engaging with pop music, cinema, photography and video. In Doig's paintings bleak nighttime scenes are juxtaposed with melancholic figures deep in thought. The failure of utopian narratives is suggested in exterior and interior views of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation, an image of a lone man floating on tropical waters and a roadside rainbow painted on a pedestrian underpass.

Games I Wish Worked on Vista
Posted on 12th May 2009 at 10:08 by Joe Martin with 26 comments
I've regretted the move to Vista ever since, though I was at least wily enough to ensure that my girlfriend's PC ran XP still, ensuring I had at least one option when struck by the sudden need to play a classic game. You know the need I'm referring to – it usually comes when you're doing some menial task and you're somehow reminded of an old game you really liked. Quickly that flash of memory grows, flares into an obsession and you find yourself reinstalling games you haven't played in years, usually Deus Ex.
That quick burst of obsession is something I experience fairly regularly, mainly because games are such a massive part of my life and I find it hard to break away from them. Some days I can't cross the street without thinking that I should quicksave first. Oh, how I wish I was joking.

Learning How to Live with Diabetes
Learning How to Live with Diabetes
A dozen people, some of whom have diabetes and others, whose relatives have it, came to listen to Maureen Williams, RN, a Certified Diabetes Educator from Bayonne Medical Center, at the program held in the Federal Documents Department of the Main Library on Wednesday afternoon, January 25, 2012. Using all of her 25 years' experience, Nurse Williams described the basics of diabetes – what the disorder is, and how best to manage it – concluding with conducting a spirited Q&A, engaging and educating all those who came to hear her speak.
Though diabetes comes in two main forms, Type I and Type II, it's the second one that affects from 90-95 percent of Americans today, mostly developing in middle-aged and older adults whose lives are complicated by obesity and physical inactivity. Type I, often termed 'juvenile diabetes', develops early in life, whereby the person needs to inject the insulin that the body is missing since the pancreas doesn't make enough of it.
Type II diabetes is a malfunction of the body's ability to use insulin. There are two ways that can happen: the body's pancreas pumps insulin into the bloodstream but the cells either don't recognize it or use it well, which is called 'insulin resistance', or when the body has had enough of that malfunction, and stops producing insulin altogether.
Insulin is a hormone that helps the body create energy from glucose, which is another name for the sugar coming from the foods we eat.
A third type of diabetes, 'gestational diabetes', occurs during a woman's pregnancy, with a 50:50 chance of it going away after birth. It is advisable for the woman with that occurrence, however, to have her physician monitor her health for Type II diabetes afterward.
Please note, 'borderline diabetes' is the older term used for 'pre-diabetes', and was not considered a real diagnosis at that time. Now pre-diabetes is considered a valid disease, with its own set of characteristics. Pre-diabetes is diagnosed when blood sugars are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diabetes. Simple lifestyle changes at this point may prevent a person from getting diabetes.
Whether one's diabetes is insulin-dependent and managed with medication, or is managed by diet and exercise alone, a person needs to be vigilant in the following ways:
Keep a close eye on the feet – As a diabetic, you may have poor circulation (blood flow) or numbness and tingling in your feet. This means you are more likely to develop infections or other foot problems. You need to take special care of your feet every day.
Give up smoking now! – Smoking can contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other conditions that can put you at greater risk for complications for diabetes. If you smoke, try to quit.
Controlling your diabetes through medication, diet and exercise is important because major complications occur when the body has to deal with an over-abundance of sugar in the bloodstream:
Heart Disease – People with diabetes are 5 times more likely to have a stroke and 2 to 4 times more likely to have coronary artery disease.
Kidney Disease – Having diabetes makes people 20 times more likely to have kidney failure. To prevent kidney problems, keep your blood pressure under control, promptly treat urinary-tract problems, and report any swelling in your hand or feet. Drink 2 quarts (64 oz.) of water or non-caffeinated, non-caloric fluids per day. Have your urine checked for protein at least once a year.
Eye Problems – People with diabetes are 4 times more likely to become blind. High blood sugar can cause blood vessels in your eyes to leak (called diabetic retinopathy). You are also at higher risk for cataracts, glaucoma, and macular problems.
Infections of the Skin – High blood sugar lowers the immune system. You may be more prone to boils and ulcers, vaginal infections, and slow-healing cuts. Bathe daily and dry yourself thoroughly, then use a moisturizing cream to protect your skin. Wash and bandage cuts promptly. Watch for changes in your skin or cuts that don't heal. Report them to your healthcare provider.
Gum Disease – Gum disease, swollen gums, and mouth infections are common in people with diabetes. Brush after every meal and floss daily. See your dentist for a checkup every 3-6 months.

By now you're probably sick of chocolate.
Then please, read on!
I got the idea for S'More Pie a few months ago. My first attempt was edible but not great — the filling was too runny, for one thing. Poking around the cabinet this weekend looking for Valentine's Day dessert inspiration, I realized I still had enough marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers to give this pie another go. Plus, we had a new secret ingredient that would really make this pie authentic-tasting: Liquid Smoke.
I've been having my teens do some experimenting in the kitchen this year, and we had picked up some Liquid Smoke to make the BBQ Rib recipe from Jeff Potter's Cooking for Geeks (which came out great, by the way!). Potter himself uses the unusual flavoring to give his S'More Ice Cream that wonderful wood-fired aroma. It seemed perfect for our campfire-less pie.
The final touch to turn this nostalgic taste of summer into a Valentine's treat was to press it into a heart-shaped cake pan. I will admit that serving pie from an irregularly-shaped cake pan is not easy — but then, this pie probably would be messy to serve (and eat) no matter how you bake it. And yet, so yummy…
Here's my recipe for S'More Pie:
- graham cracker crust
- dark chocolate chips
- instant chocolate pudding mix
- marshmallows (mini or regular)
- Liquid Smoke
- Make a crust by mixing 1 inner package of graham crackers, crushed, with 6 tablespoons melted butter in a pie tin or cake pan, or use prepared crust.
- Into the crust pour enough chocolate chips to cover about half the bottom; distribute evenly.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes until chocolate chips are softened. Spread with a spatula into an even layer. Chill.
- Prepare pudding using pie filling directions on box. (I used 1 small box and about the half the milk called for in the pudding recipe, mixed by machine for 1 minute.) Should be thick and creamy. Spread over chocolate crust. Chill.
- Melt marshmallows in microwave about 30 seconds. (Be careful, they expand when heated!) Stir in about 10 drops of Liquid Smoke. Spread over pudding. Decorate with mini marshmallows and/or chocolate chips if desired.
- Turn oven on to broil. Put pie on top oven rack under flame for 30 seconds or just until topping begins to smoke. Turn pie to brown evenly.
- Serve warmed or chilled.

I have always built my own boxes, bottoms, and tops. Since the last time I built boxes, I've learned that because of SHB, frame rests are no longer being used. The plans that I've always used specify that there is a 1/8" allowance for frame rests built into the design. So now I am wondering if I should lessen the rabbet for the frames by that 1/8"? But if I do that, am I going to upset the bee space of the box design--will I have 1/8" too much space between my boxes?
How do folks handle this? Or is it even anything to worry about? Thanks for any and all input!

WBC count
This test measures the number of white blood cells, or WBCs, in your blood. Cells in your bone marrow produce white blood cells and release them into the bloodstream to help you fight infection. White blood cells are part of the body's immune system, which keeps you healthy and makes you well when you get sick. White blood cells work to destroy any foreign virus, fungus, or bacteria that enter your body and threaten to make you sick.
When you get sick, your white blood cell count is higher than normal because your body is releasing more of these cells to fight the infection. But if you have certain illnesses like HIV or cancer, or if are on medication like chemotherapy that weakens your immune system, your white blood cell count can drop to very low levels.
White blood cells are divided into five major types:
This test measures the total count of all types of white blood cells. It does not measure the levels of individual types of white blood cells.
You may need this test to determine if you have an infection or illness that is affecting your immune system. If your immune system is weakened by medication or illness, you may also need this test to see if your white blood cell count is dangerously low. In that case, even a simple infection could be quite harmful because your body isn't able to defend itself.
In addition to a white blood cell count, your doctor may order a differential white blood cell count. This blood test measures the amount of each type of white blood cells. You may also need a complete blood count, or CBC, which measures all of the major blood cells, including white blood cells. A neutrophil test may be done to check for neutropenia. If you have neutropenia, it means your neutrophil count is low and you can easily get an infection.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Normal white blood cell counts are:
9,000 to 30,000/mm3 for newborns
6,200 to 17,000/mm3 for children under 2 years old
5,000 to 10,000/mm3 for children older than age 2 up to adults
Test results that are higher than normal may mean that you have an infection or illness that your body is fighting. Test results that are lower than normal may mean that your immune system isn't working as well as it should and that even a minor infection could cause serious health problems.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm. Infants usually have one of their heels stuck with a needle to collect a few drops of blood.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Some medications may affect your test results. Be sure your doctor knows about treatments you are receiving, medications you are taking, or recent illnesses you've had.
A blood test rarely requires any preparation. You can probably eat, drink, and take your medication as usual, but check with your doctor to be sure. Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

When we told dealers, 'We have one last chance,' the dealers said, 'Go get them.' M. Freddie Reiss, Suszuki chief restructuring officer American Suzuki Motor Corporation, the US distributor of Suzuki cars and motorcycles, will import about 2500 more cars to meet demand that jumped after the company filed for bankruptcy with plans to end US sales.
"When we told dealers, 'We have one last chance,' the dealers said, 'Go get them,"' M. Freddie Reiss, the company's chief restructuring officer, said yesterday in an interview. "No more cars are being manufactured" for the US market, he said.
American Suzuki's November car sales rose 22 per cent to 2224 units, the company said this month.
Dealers reported that sales also climbed in December, mainly because of generous incentives and a seven-year warranty programme, Reiss said.
Even with the spurt in sales, the company still can't justify staying in the US car market, he said.
Last year, Suzuki Motor Corporation, based in Shizuoka, Japan, appointed two independent directors to the distributor's board, Reiss said.
Those directors formed a committee that put American Suzuki into bankruptcy on November 5 to end losses in the US market, avoid the costs of federal regulations and shut down a sales network in which 69 per cent of dealers sell fewer than five cars a month.
The company will sell about 22,000 cars this year in the US, compared with about 120,000 a year before 2008, Reiss said.
Dealers will sell their remaining cars and continue to provide parts and warranty work and other repairs, the company said. American Suzuki plans to reorganise its motorcycle, boat and all-terrain vehicle business and make sales through separate dealers, according to court papers.
Yesterday, the company was in US Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana, California, where it won permission for three motions designed to help it shut down the auto-dealer network and reorganise the motorcycle and boat business.
US Bankruptcy Judge Scott Clarkson approved the company's request to borrow US$50 million ($59.6 million) more in order to import the additional cars from Suzuki Motor.
Clarkson also approved a settlement with dealers intended to avoid litigation over the shutdown.
Suzuki Motor had asked its car dealers to voluntarily cancel their existing franchise agreements in exchange for half of what they are owed immediately and the rest through the normal bankruptcy process, according to court papers.
American Suzuki owes its parent about $152 million, according to court records. To help guarantee that dealers who settled will be repaid everything owed to them, Suzuki Motor agreed to subordinate that debt, according to court documents.
Affiliate Bid
American Suzuki also won permission to sell its motorcycle, boat and ATV distributorship to an affiliate of Suzuki Motor for $95 million barring a higher bid. Clarkson overruled an objection from the US Trustee, the arm of the US Justice Department that monitors corporate bankruptcies, which argued that Suzuki Motor's involvement would discourage competing bidders.

You do realize how little the Giants are payiing Osi, don't you? They're paying him far less than those Cowboys defenders who got lit up against the Eagles. I would think Romo would put up a better showing.[/quote]
Didn't all Cowboys fans wish that, but it wasn't our day, just like when the Eagles took care of Eli, looked what happened, wasn't there day...But we get another crack at them..
I guess getting another crack at "them" is your Superbowl. Good luck, although I doubt you get a ring for playing Philly in the regular season.

This was the first exhibition of Roberts's work since 1978 and gave visitors an opportunity to view some of the recently discovered additions to the artist's oeuvre and a chance to reunite the celebrated set of four views of Carton, dispersed for almost a generation. This exhibition represented an opportunity to showcase Roberts's exceptional ability as a supreme technician with subjects ranging from topographical views of some of Ireland's most celebrated and picturesque locations, to idealised landscapes, dramatic storm scenes and sets of views of some of Ireland's finest demesnes.

Earnings Season: Higher EPS, Flat Revenues
We're right in the thick of quarterly earnings season -- as today's performance of Pfizer (PFE), Newmont Mining (NEM) and Pitney Bowes (PBI) perfectly illustrates. With 306 of the Standard & Poor's 500 index component companies having reported, it's a good time to take account of what we've seen.
From Greg Harrison at Thomson Reuters:
Of the 306 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings to date for Q1 2013, 68.6% have reported earnings above analyst expectations, 11.4% reported earnings in line with analyst expectations and 19.9% reported earnings below analyst expectations. In a typical quarter (since 1994), 63% of companies beat estimates, 17% match and 21% miss estimates. Over the past four quarters, 67% of companies beat estimates, 10% matched and 23% missed estimates.
That looks pretty good, right? In particular, 76% of consumer staples companies have beaten estimates, as have 73% of energy, financials and health-care firms. So far utilities are lagging, with just 58% beating consensus forecasts.
But -- and yes, there is a 'but' -- the picture is far from rosy when it comes to revenues:
44% [of companies] have reported revenue above analyst expectations and 56% reported revenue below analyst expectations. In a typical quarter (since 2002), 62% of companies beat estimates and 38% miss estimates. Over the past four quarters, 52% of companies beat estimates and 48% missed estimates.
Of the 210 companies that have exceeded their earnings estimates, 51% have missed their revenue estimate. In a typical quarter, 31% of companies that beat on earnings miss on revenue.
Harrison reports that overall earnings per share growth is 4% while revenue growth is flat.
We've seen this story before, haven't we? Negligible (or worse) sales growth, but healthy (and growing) profits thanks to wider margins brought about by cost-cutting. Buybacks also help, and we've been seeing a lot of those recently. Ultimately, though, what we need to see to prove the economy is really recovering -- higher revenues -- just isn't there.


text: Got word today the Cowboys interest in Upshaw has really soured. Word is his approach to the draft process seems to have favored teams running a 4-3 looking for a DE and Upshaw himself was given the advice to gain some weight after struggling in several drills. Given that he showed up at his pro day at 279 pounds it seems he has taken that advice and ran with it.

Simple strategies and analysis of your purchases can help you navigate the feed-price roller coaster.
by Amanda Smith, Associate Editor, Hoard's Dairyman
Oftentimes when feed prices rise, your gut reaction is to start pulling high-priced ingredients from the ration. While cows need nutrients and not particular ingredients, rapid dietary changes negatively impact the cow's rumen. At the Four State Dairy Nutrition and Management Conference, Normand St. Pierre, with The Ohio State University, provided a few ways you can attempt to navigate and survive during times of turbulence in the feed price market.
Shop better: Can you buy the same feed somewhere else? If you investigate alternatives though make sure you're comparing apples to apples. While two ingredients may have the same name, there is no guarantee they have the same nutritive values.
Feed is often purchased with a variety of services bundled in. The services may have value but prior to committing make sure it is a service that you need and that it is being delivered at a comparable price.
Take advantage of cash discounts: In addition to helping you manage cash flow, cash discounts can present a significant savings when totaled at year-end. If the companies you work with offer a 1 percent discount for paying 15 days early, it can have an APR of 25 percent. On the flip side, avoid outstanding credit card balances.
Shop wiser: Keep on the lookout for underpriced feeds (which are different than cheap feeds) and avoid overpriced feeds. When purchasing, compare feed ingredients and nutrient composition.
Avoid black holes: Dropping the level of shrink for both commodities and silages can present a considerable boost to your bottom line. Additionally, don't cut corners; for some herds there can be value in multiple rations and grouping based on production and nutritional needs. Determine whether there is value in using additives to correct management flaws or if your best value comes from finding another solution to the problem.
Reduce the welfare checks to your dry cows and heifers: The checks are written by your lactating herd. While you shouldn't short change either nonproductive group, are there changes you can make to feed them the nutrients they need at a lesser cost?

Actually, despite the title, this turkey is for tomorrow, Christmas Day. Tonight (Noche Buena), we're going to have tamales, Mexican queso fundido, and Cuban tostones with mojo. (Not a traditional Salvadoran spread, but somehow, those are the diverse recipes I ended up choosing – and that's after Carlos discouraged me from making a Venezuelan Pan de Jamón on top of it all.)
I don't cook poultry that looks like poultry very often. It kind of grosses me out and I prefer to buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts. (Suegra always told me I'd have never survived in El Salvador since she had to wring the chicken's neck and then pluck it.)
Anyway, when making Panes con Pavo I end up having to handle a whole turkey, which happens maybe once a year. Right now I was just putting the "Salsa Perrins" and mustard on the pavo to marinate and my 11 year old came into the kitchen. He looked at the turkey for a minute, checking it out from both ends and all directions. Then he asked, "Which side is the culito?"

Michigan Virtual High School
Lansing, Mich.
School Profile: Selected Variables a
|Year Initiated
|Michigan Virtual University
|Types of Courses Offered
|Number of Courses Currently Offered
|Total Enrollments Since Inception
a These data are reported by the school and are for the school year 2006–07.
b Advanced Placement
In 2000, a transition from the Michigan Virtual Automotive College, a vocational training environment dedicated to the needs of the Big Three automakers, to the Michigan Virtual University (MVU) yielded what is now the Michigan Virtual High School (MVS). Then, in 2006, six years after MVU received an $18 million grant to build an online high school, Michigan became the first state to require all students to complete an online class in order to graduate from high school. Starting with the class of 2011, Michigan high school students will need to have had an online learning experience in order to graduate from high school.
MVU serves as the nonprofit parent company for three distinct educational enterprises: MVS, Michigan LearnPort (an online professional development program for teachers), and Michigan Career Services (a career exploration resource for students). Driven by a desire to increase access and equity, MVS offers students across the state opportunities to complete courses in core areas, take AP classes, learn languages, and undertake electives otherwise unavailable.
In 2005–06, about 7,200 students from 350 Michigan schools enrolled in MVS classes. MVS classes are asynchronous (i.e., when people are not online at the same time) and follow one of four models: Flex, Semester-Paced, AP, or Student-Direct. Under the Flex plan, students elect a start date anytime from early-September to mid-October and have up to three months to finish the course. While there are no set deadlines, course instructors offer guidelines to pace students. Semester-Paced courses follow the academic calendar, and students must complete assignments by and take exams on scheduled dates. AP classes adhere to the goals and curricula articulated by the College Board program. Student-Direct courses allow students to enroll in the class at any time during the year and give students three instructional months to complete the class offered by a third-party course provider, PLATO Learning. These self-paced courses do not have course instructors but are facilitated by the local school, and moving through them is contingent on completing each module with an end-of-module test score of 80 percent or better.
Student-Direct classes are the least expensive of MVS's offerings, at $129 per enrollment, while AP classes are the most expensive at $350 per enrollment. Both Flex and Semester-Paced courses cost $275 per enrollment. MVS allows Michigan schools to purchase AP, Flex, and Semester- Paced classes in bulk. For 10 enrollments, the AP classes cost $3,250 and the Flex and Semester-Paced classes cost $2,500. There is no bulk rate for Student-Direct classes.
In addition to partnering with PLATO Learning to offer the Student-Direct classes, MVS works with the Confucius Institute at Michigan State University (CI-MSU) to teach Mandarin Chinese classes; partners with Apex Learning, the Florida Virtual School (FLVS), and the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education, who all serve as third-party course providers of AP classes; licenses AP exam reviews in 11 subjects from FLVS and Apex Learning; and collaborates with another third-party provider, Bridges Transitions, to supply a review course for a portion of the Michigan Merit Examination and the American College Test (ACT). Any student planning to take an AP test may enroll in the AP exam review class at no cost as a part of the AP course tuition; non-MVS students pay an enrollment fee of $25. Likewise, any student can enroll in the Michigan Merit Exam/ACT preparation course, which prepares students for both exams; the Michigan legislature has appropriated funds to make the class free to Michigan students in 2006–07.
Student Recruitment and Enrollment
MVS markets itself to schools in person, through the mail, and on its Web site. The provider hosts annual regional conferences for the schools most active with MVS, at which it introduces new policies and requests feedback about the prior year in order to improve its offerings. Marketing staff attend 12–15 education conferences each year to promote MVS opportunities, while regionally based part-time "ambassadors" visit and call schools in their assigned area. Ambassadors also serve as liaisons between school site coordinators and MVS. Ultimately, the school site coordinators, usually school guidance counselors, oversee the online education at their school and work with students to determine how MVS can best serve their academic goals.
Eight MVS staff members are responsible for marketing, enrollment, and business management. Of this group, two serve as enrollment specialists who can assist school counselors or site coordinators with the online enrollment process. MVS provides schools with an Online Learner Orientation Tool, an informal online quiz that helps students evaluate whether they are ready for online learning. The quiz also can be used as a conversation starter between students and guidance counselors. Once a student is enrolled, a school has 25 calendar days to decide whether the student should remain in the class. If the student or school decides that dropping the class is the best move, schools can retain the enrollment for future use.
Course Offerings
MVS offers courses in all of Michigan's required credit areas for high school graduation. MVS develops the courses in collaboration with Michigan teachers and ensures that courses meet both the Michigan Curriculum Framework and national standards (e.g., National Assessment of Educational Progress [NAEP] curriculum frameworks, American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language standards). Enrollment in foreign language classes has accelerated recently, and MVS has begun marketing its Chinese class nationwide to generate additional enrollments.
At its inception, MVS offered AP courses to high schools at no cost, but schools were generally skeptical of online learning. As awareness of the benefits of AP classes in general and comfort with online learning grew, so, too, did enrollment in these classes. In 2002, a highly discounted subscription model was introduced, and AP enrollment reached its highest level. However, subsequent reductions in state funding for MVS made it necessary for MVS, in turn, to reduce the amount of subsidy it was providing to member schools, effectively raising school enrollment costs. Although enrollment has since declined slightly, MVS hopes to expand its AP catalog, ideally with courses developed by Michigan teachers.
Instruction, Mentoring, and Support
MVS has a pool of 180 teachers, all certified in Michigan, who have completed its four-week online instructor-training program and, thus, are eligible to teach online classes. Last year, 70 to 80 teachers from the pool contracted with MVS as part-time instructors. The MVS instructional manager oversees department chairs (who mentor new teachers and help ensure consistency between courses within a content area) and all of the MVS instructors. Instructors who help develop courses and teach the first section of a course become informal "lead teachers" who help subsequent instructors understand the course design and course delivery.
Each student has a school-based mentor (a certified teacher) who supports the student, monitors progress, and facilitates communication between the student and the online instructor. the MvS contract stipulates that its instructors will respond to student and site coordinator e-mails within 24 hours, grade assignments within 48 hours, and grade tests within 72 hours. the MvS database tracks student activity, logs the amount of time students spend on tasks, and retains progress reports, all of which can be accessed by the student, teacher, parent, and mentor.
The vice president of operations leads the MVS digital services group, which supports the necessary technology. MVS-developed courses are delivered through the Blackboard platform, a platform being the Web-based framework for running software and other Web-based tools. MVS maintains a help desk Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
An initial $15 million grant from the state of Michigan in 2000 funded the creation of MVS, along with its operations and services for two years. During this time MVS provided all online products and services to Michigan's K–12 community at no cost. Since then, legislative appropriations for MVS, which have ranged from $750,000–$2,000,000 annually, have covered part of MVS's operating costs. In 2002, MVS introduced a tiered-pricing model, in which subscriptions were based on the size of a district's student population. Under this subscription model, schools still profited from highly subsidized pricing for courses and services. But in 2004–05, in response to a decline in state funding, MVS had to reduce its subsidization of courses and instructional services, moving to a per-enrollment pricing model. With state funding reduced, MVS found it necessary to make this change in order to cover its own costs, chiefly, teacher compensation, courses licensing, and software licensing. Although MVS still provides a highly competitive per-enrollment tuition for schools, the changed pricing structure has negatively and disproportionately affected small schools, which had utilized the more greatly subsidized pricing of earlier years to enroll significant numbers of students.

Apple Earnings Worry Investors; Stock Falls 10 Percent

(Source: Goodfon)
Apple's profit is flat due to higher manufacturing costs
While Apple managed to surpass analysts' profit forecasts for the fiscal 2013 first quarter, the company's stock took a tumble as investors worry over Apple's
ability to maintain steady growth
with new products.
Apple reported a revenue of $54.5 billion for the quarter ended December 29, 2012, compared to $46.33 billion in the year-ago quarter. The tech giant just missed analyst expectations of $54.73 billion.
Apple also earned a net profit of $13.1 billion ($13.81 a share) compared to $13.1 billion ($13.87 a share) a year ago. Profit clearly remained pretty flat, but it exceeded analysts' expectations of $13.44 a share.
The iDevice maker also noted that it had record iPhone sales for the quarter at 47.8 million (compared to 37 million in the year-ago quarter). It also had an uptick in iPad sales, from 15.4 million in the year ago quarter to 22.9 million in the most recent quarter.
"We're thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We're very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world."
While Apple did okay for the quarter, investors are concerned with the company's flat profit due to higher manufacturing costs and also worry whether Apple can keep up its momentum with product popularity. Many new devices are hitting the market at lower prices and offer newer, better features. For instance, the
iPad's market share was bested by Google's Nexus 7 tablet
in Japan mainly due to cost differences.
Apple's stock has lost nearly 25 percent of its value since September 2012 ($170 billion in market value).
In after-hours trading today, Apple's stock fell over 10 percent.
Looking forward to fiscal 2013 second quarter, Apple expects a revenue of between $41 billion and $43 billion.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple had
cut iPhone screen and component orders by 50 percent
for t

The Black Caps lacked a game plan and a 'sense of fight' in their recent two test drubbings to South Africa, according to former Proteas skipper Kepler Wessels.
The 55-year old former batsmen - who captained South Africa after playing 24 Tests for Australia - felt that the most disappointing part of the test series was that New Zealand didn't really compete or even back themselves against the best team in the world.
"Over years gone by I think at times New Zealand have had good teams and other times they haven't had good teams but they've always scrapped," Wessels told LiveSport. "On this tour we didn't see enough of that."
Wessels lamented the lack of batting technique in the Kiwi line-up and questioned whether a lack of a game plan may have made some of the batsmen lose their way.
"If you take somebody like Brendon McCullum, I like the guy and think he's a courageous guy, but I think that he got caught up in being so determined to show guts and get behind the ball and set an example to the rest of the team, that he forgot to play his natural game."
"Having to work out how to deal with this South African bowling attack, having a game plan, knowing how to go about constructing an innings under these sort of circumstances. I think they were lacking."
"To be brutally honest some of the players just weren't good enough."
Wessels said South Africa will 'spread the net quite wide' in the one-day series and expects the Proteas to use the series to develop a number of players they are grooming for the World Cup in 2015.
"That will benefit New Zealand a little bit, and they (NZ) also have a few new guys joining the tour and it will be more competitive."
The first ODI on Saturday night (NZT) will be played on the unpredictable Paarl wicket which has a history of being lively and where 'anything can happen'.
"The good news for New Zealand is the other matches in Kimberley and Potchefstroom will be good to bat on and it will give New Zealand a much better chance to form a foundation and for some of their players, who are good one-day players, to play a match-changing innings.

Hope College ranked eighth among 209 Division III
football teams in home game attendance this past season,
according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

The team established an attendance record for a five-game
home schedule at Holland Municipal Stadium, averaging 4,148 fans

at Holland Municipal Stadium since 1979.
The final average was bolstered by a record single-game
crowd of 6,421 fans for the Hope's first-ever night game at the
stadium. Played in conjunction with the sesquicentennial
celebration of the city of Holland, the annual Community Day game
resulted in a 27-0 victory over Illinois Benedictine.
A season-ending game in which Hope defeated Albion 28-25 to
gain a share of the MIAA championship attracted a record Parents
Day crowd of 4,389 fans.
Emory & Henry College of Virginia led all Division III teams
with an average home attendance of 5,853 fans. MIAA co-champion
Adrian ranked 20th on the list with an average of 3,085 fans per
home game.

Obama's AG choice: Regulate Internet communication
posted at 10:34 am on November 21, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Danny Glover at Eyeblast reveals a nine-year-old NPR interview with Eric Holder regarding how the government needs to regulate Internet communications. The rumored front-runner for Attorney General told NPR that the Columbine killers may have found some of their venom through Internet access, as well as a bomb recipe or two. If the government can regulate pornography, Holder insisted while serving as Deputy AG during the Clinton administration, surely the government can restrict speech in general:
My friend Kerry Picket has the transcript at Newsbusters:
The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at. – May 28, 1999 NPR Morning Edition
Pardon me, but I'm looking at the First Amendment (in my official Robert Byrd Pocket Constitution, natch), and I'm a bit confused. Where in this statement does it say that the government has the authority to impose "reasonable restrictions" on speech?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech. That appears rather clear. It doesn't authorize "reasonable restrictions", or "reasonable regulations", or what Holder really wants, "reasonable federal censorship".
We apparently will have an incoming administration blissfully ignorant of the Constitution they will swear to defend. Barack Obama couldn't articulate a coherent statement on gun rights despite his supposed status as a Constitutional scholar, Joe Biden couldn't figure out what Article I actually establishes, and now Eric Holder hasn't read the First Amendment. Maybe we should pass out more of those Robert Byrd Pocket Constitutions during the transition, and hold a test before Inauguration Day.
Anyone want to guess what form those "reasonable restrictions" might be? Perhaps, say, regulating content in the blogosphere? I'm guessing that will be Target One for the Holder-run DoJ.

I think we need a prayer chain for these two. i have a bad feeling Ashley and Gold repeat their failings from Nationals. Now 4cc shows Gold hasn't got confidence despite her gorgeous jumps. Ashley is such a lovely skater with good programs. I am worried for these two. I think both will fold under pressure with the 3 Japanese women who are not wilting flowers and get the marks plus Yuna and Caro. I am worried what will happen for Sochi. What are the best guesses for Ash and gold? Realistically what placements are we prognosticating?
I am nervous for them.

Contact: Emanuel spoke with Blago "on multiple occasions" about Senate seat
posted at 7:57 am on December 12, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
The attempt by President-elect Barack Obama to distance himself from the scandal erupting in Illinois took a big hit last night with this exclusive report from Chicago's Fox affiliate. Sources within the investigation say that Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on "multiple occasions" about the Senate succession that Blagojevich had wanted to sell to the highest bidder — and that Emanuel will likely be on the FBI wiretaps:
On the surface, this makes sense. The notion that Obama and his team had nothing to say about the Senate appointment and had no contact whatsoever with Blagojevich was ridiculous. Emanuel, with his ties to Illinois politics and his status as Obama's right-hand man, would make the most likely candidate to handle those negotiations.
That doesn't necessarily mean that Emanuel knew about Blagojevich's efforts to extort payment for the selection, but it puts a damper on the idea that Emanuel tipped off the feds, too. It wouldn't take "multiple" meetings for Emanuel to decide to squeal. If Emanuel continued meeting with Blagojevich, that indicates some kind of negotiating was happening, and that would strongly suggest that Emanuel was working on Blagojevich's terms.
It's still possible that Emanuel was working with the feds, but why stay silent about it now? They've already arrested Blagojevich. Emanuel could now say, "I helped Patrick Fitzgerald when I saw something wrong and worked with them to get him to make explicit statements," rather than spend this week ducking reporters. The "sources within the investigation" would hardly want to make a cooperating witness look bad, either. Emanuel has been acting like someone advised him to keep quiet to keep from making incriminating public statements, and this may be the reason why.

Original post made by Mary Reding, Foothill High School, on Feb 20, 2013
Last year we awarded $23,500 in scholarships to graduating seniors from Foothill, Village and Amador High Schools.
Download the guidelines and application at
Completed applications will be picked up at each school site on March 18, 2013
a resident of Birdland
on Feb 20, 2013 at 1:11 pm
liberalism is a disease is a registered user.
Question for you, Mary, if you can please clarify this requirement: The scholarship application guideline states that the scholarship is subject to 'demonstrated financial need'. What does that mean?
Before I spend time filling out the forms and tracking down my 2011 W-2's and tax returns, can you quantify what 'demonstrated financial need' is?
a resident of Apperson Ridge
on Feb 20, 2013 at 2:50 pm
I agree with the diseased one. All this focus on 'demonstrated financial need' is just another indicator of creeping socialism. Whatever happened to merit? Why should some poor kid be given a lift over my own? I worked hard to possess the most toys on my block. I outcompeted my former friends, I kissed up whenever helpful, and I kicked down whenever I thought it would help me. And now the socialists want to take my toys away and give them to some other poor loser's kid? Where in the Constitution is that permitted?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Feb 21, 2013 at 8:20 am
So what is demonstrated financial need and why does the question so inflame our local liberals? Are you afraid someone might take away something you feel entitled to? Is this really another handout that ony liberals can qualify for?
a resident of Foothill High School
on Feb 21, 2013 at 10:30 am
I have to agree with the people above even if I think their political voice is a bit too strong.
In this country we have to stop punishing working Americans. Scholarships are just what they say for "scholarly" achievements. And they should be for legal citizens.
It is just awful that we offer more support programs to illegals and to people in prison,then we do our own legal kids.
My mother and her parents were immigrants, but they did it legally and never, not even once (and they dealt with the the Great Depression) did they go on welfare (or have a baby that they expected this country to pay for). They also learned English and were proud to call themselves Americans.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Feb 21, 2013 at 10:42 am
My own parents were legal immigrants, but beyond that they were crumbums. My father was a professional thief and my mom was a drug dealer. They both knew how to speak English thought. I guess that makes most illegals better than the white riff-raff that thinks their own stink is better than illegals'.
Now, why give a scholarship to a rich kid? He's had all kinds of advantages, tutors, best schools, nannies, test coaches, and he's supposed to be the one who gets the scholarship? Here I think Republican ideology -- I got mine and screw you I want more -- is eclipsing common sense.

UPS established the Eco Responsible Packaging Program in order to recognize
customers who are committed to helping the environment through sustainable
packaging. Companies that wish to participate in this program allow UPS to
conduct an evaluation of their packaging processes. To qualify, these companies
must meet our exacting criteria in each of three areas:
UPS examines overall shipment packaging processes in determining the company's eligibility for the Eco Responsible Packaging Program. All program participants must meet our rigorous standards to enter and remain in the program. This program only takes into account the transportation (secondary) packaging that a company uses. UPS does not evaluate manufacturers' product packaging included within the secondary container; instead, we consider the sustainability of a company's shipment packaging processes for the secondary box and its fill material.
If you meet the program standards for all three criteria, you can participate in this contractual program, and you'll be able to use UPS's Eco Responsible Packaging Program logo on your packages. That simple stamp will differentiate your company from the competition and show that you proactively choose to conserve earth's valuable resources.
Just in case you need a little help reaching your sustainability goals, the UPS Package Lab provides consulting services and will suggest needed improvements to help you meet the program standards.
We are proud that our Eco Responsible Packaging Program meets all of the evaluation criteria defined by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. In addition, BSR and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) praise the program for its environmental leadership.

Professional Penetration Testing - Book problems?
I got Professional Penetration Testing for my birthday (next weekend). I started reading it last night. And the first 8 pages have decided they wanted to fall out.
Looking at the side, it looks like there may be problems with a few more sections of the book later.
I was wondering if anyone had their book fall apart while they were reading it?
I'll probably hit up amazon support to try and get a replacement.

I am not old enough to remember LT playing in his prime, but, have seen interview from opposing coordinators and players and the constant theme for them that week would be "where is #56?". Even the Bills in the '90 superbowl facing a declining LT made sure to account for him every play. Not even close, both were/are first ballot HOF'ers, but only one is a top 2-3 player in the history of the NFL.
