Microsoft's New, Improved Spending
What a difference three months can make for Microsoft. A quarter ago, as it announced earnings, the software maker caught investors unawares with news of an increase in investment spending.
On July 20, Microsoft (MSFT) had another surprise up its sleeve, again having to do with spending. But this one left shareholders decidedly more pleased. In announcing fourth-quarter results, Microsoft said it will buy back $40 billion in stock, having just completed a $30 billion buyback over the last two years.
Redmond's pleasant surprises didn't end there. Quarterly revenue climbed 16%, to $11.8 billion, beating analysts' forecasts for sales of $11.6 billion. And earnings per share, excluding legal charges, were 31 cents, exceeding analysts' estimates by a penny. The results, coupled with the repurchase plan and an upbeat forecast for the current fiscal year, sent Microsoft shares climbing in extended trading. The stock rose $1.28, or 5.6 percent, to $24.13.
Investors have pressed Microsoft to use its huge cash hoard—$34.2 billion as of June 30—to boost share value. The stock is off 14% since the beginning of the year and well off its peak from a half-decade ago.
The buyback will include a $20 billion tender offer to acquire 808 million shares, or 8.1% of its outstanding stock. The tender will take the form of a reverse Dutch auction that lets shareholders choose how many shares they want to sell, and at what prices, as long as it's between $22.50 and $24.75 a share. Shareholders have until August 17 to tender their stock. Microsoft will then determine the lowest price per share that will enable it to buy the 808 million shares.
The repurchase will more than halve the company's cash holdings, leaving them roughly where they were eight years ago. The company's cash, though, continues to grow by about $1 billion each month. So Microsoft also announced plans to buy back another $20 billion of its stock by June 30, 2011.
Two years ago, Microsoft said it would repurchase $30 billion of stock over four years, in addition to a one-time, $3-a-share dividend, equal to $32 billion (see BusinessWeek.com, 7/21/04, "Dollars Finally Rain from Redmond"). The company just completed that buyback, two years ahead of schedule.
Results were again fueled by sales of Microsoft's server software. Sales in the server and tools division were $3.2 billion, topping sales from the company's information worker group that includes its Office desktop software. The big gains came from sales of its SQL Server database software, which grew 35% in the quarter. The group's operating income hit $1.2 billion, up 53%.
More good news came from the division that focuses on gaming consoles. Microsoft said it has overcome the Xbox 360 shortage problems that had plagued sales of the console in the first few months after its Nov. 22 launch (see BusinessWeek.com, 1/27/06, "Microsoft's News of Many Parts"). In the last quarter, Microsoft added a third contract manufacturer to ease the crunch. As a result, it sold 1.8 million consoles in the period and said the shortage was behind it. Revenue in the home and entertainment group climbed 94%, to $1.1 billion. Operating losses more than doubled, to $414 million—a reflection that video-game consoles typically are sold at a loss early in the product cycle, with hopes of making money later on licensing from video-game sales.
The solid quarter helped Microsoft get back to double-digit growth, after posting 8% revenue gain in the previous fiscal year. In fiscal 2006, sales grew 11%, to $44.3 billion, on operating income of $16.5 billion, a 13% gain. "The fourth quarter was a strong close to a good year," Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said on a conference call with analysts, investors, and reporters. For the fiscal year just starting, Microsoft is calling for sales of $49.7 billion to $50.7 billion, implying an increase of 12% to 14%.
It was an altogether different story on the earnings call just three months ago. Then, Microsoft jolted Wall Street with news it would spend roughly $2.5 billion more than analysts expected. (see BusinessWeek.com, 4/28/06, "Microsoft's Strange Spending Splurge"). The company offered little explanation of how it planned to spend the money, and its shares tanked as a result.
On this call, Liddell gave more detail on plans for spending the money, which now amounts to about $2.7 billion in the current fiscal year. About $450 million will go toward marketing and launch costs for a host of new products, including new versions of its Windows operating system and Office. Another $450 million will be used to hire sales staff and to boost marketing efforts for existing products. Microsoft plans to spend $1 billion developing new products and services in high-growth markets and another $500 million focusing on its Web services push. The last $300 million will cover general increases in costs and possible acquisitions.
Analysts came away with a better outlook toward Microsoft than they've had in a long while. "This is a company that's taken its lumps from investors," says Sanford Bernstein analyst Charles DiBona. But the company responded, giving investors much of what they wanted—a stock buyback. What's more, the company opened up a little bit, sharing information that was lacking in the previous earning release. In sum, DiBona says, "the tone was really good."

Tuesday, March 16, 2004
Kylie Hawes hears her name called over the loudspeaker. The 14-year-old digs her heels into her horse, and she's off. Three barrels are set up in a triangular formation about 20 yards apart. Rounding each barrel at a furious sprint, Hawes and her horse lean in a 45-degree angle to the ground.
It takes Hawes less than 20 seconds to ride around the obstacles and cross the laser-timed finish line, but she's always striving to go faster.
"For me, there's a lot that goes into a good run -- the mechanics, the speed," Hawes said. "So, it's very rewarding when you have a good run."
Hayes is one of several competitors in National Barrel Horse Association regional races held at Brooks Arena, 39565 Routt County Road 37, in Hayden.
Since November, rodeo riders from Routt County, Rifle, Parachute, Grand Junction, Baggs, Wyo., and beyond have practiced for and participated in a winter series of barrel racing and pole bending meets at the arena.
On Sunday, arena owners Kay and Brett Brooks will host the series-end finals at 1 p.m., in which 30 or more riders will compete. Exhibition runs will begin at 11:30 a.m. for those who don't want to race, but would like to see how their times compare to the competition.
There will be two competitive divisions: open and youth (17 and younger). The winner of the open competition will receive a new saddle and one of 12 belt buckles by Gist Silversmiths. Buckles also will be awarded to other placing riders in both divisions.
Between Brett Brooks' status as a professional bronc rider with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Kay Brooks' status as regional diretor of the NBHA, buying the arena and hosting their own events was a natural decision.
"We just bought the arena a year ago, so we're really excited about the turnout we've had this year," Kay Brooks said. "We expect to have more rodeo events here soon."
The events at Brooks Arena often are advertised or featured in The Wrangler rodeo magazine, and it has attracted several professional rodeo stars, including Sammie Bessert, who holds the arena record time for a barrel race with 15.209 seconds.
About 25 people come to the arena Thursdays to practice roping. Every Wednesday, about 10 practice barrel racing and pole bending.
Pole bending is a lot like barrel racing. Riders steer their horses sharply around obstacles, but poles rather than barrels, and slaloming rather than racing a cloverleaf pattern. Contestants begin with a running start, straight alongside the poles. Then they turn at the last pole to slalom back, weaving through six poles, turn and do it again, and race straight back across the finish line.
Kacey Snowden, 17, of Craig has competed in barrel racing and pole bending events since she was able to ride a horse. Rodeo is a tradition in her family, and as she has progressed in the sport, she figured out why.
"It's such an adrenaline rush," Snowden said. "Even if you hit a barrel, it's just so fun going fast. When your horse is sprinting as fast as he can, your adrenaline pumps and it's really exciting."
Hawes admits when riding a horse so fast, things can get scary.
"(Fear) is something everybody has in the back of their minds," Hawes said. "But I'm more concerned about my horse, because if we fall, I can get fixed, the horse can't. But if you fall off going that fast, you're going to break something."
The barrel racing and pole bending competitions this weekend will be judged in a three-division format in the junior and open classes. The divisions handicap riders' scores so that all can compete on the same level.
"It's better than age groups, because the high school kids can kick our butt," Kay Brooks said.
The Brooks Arena will host a summer series of barrel racing and pole bending, as well as jackpot team roping, in which entry fee money will be awarded to the winners.
Snowden said she doesn't try to think about winning when she's riding, but knowing the prize money that comes with being a successful professional, she can't help thinking about it sometimes.
"This weekend is pretty big," she said. "People take it seriously. It's like professional football. People live off of this, so it's important to give it all you've got."

A new challenge I discovered this one at http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/story-challenge-letter-w/ The challenge is hosted by Frizztext and the idea is to share stories or short reflections tagged with words starting with W. I'm only now beginning to figure out how tags work so the challenge is just what I need.
A recent lunch break of mine at a beach carpark happened to coincide with kids from the local high school having a wild lesson in the surf. The contrasts between blue and yellow was too good a photo opportunity to miss.
Everyone appeared to have only marginal control over their kayaks. They all looked to be enjoying themselves except, perhaps, for this guy. I just imagine him saying, 'How the bleep can I tell which one is mine?'

Reviews for Tiramisu Parfaits
"Too easy! I love it! I did not find lady fingers, so I substituted pound cake. I also listened to previous reviewers, and used brewed coffee instead of instant. I used 2 cups of strong coffee! :) Thank you for sharing!"
"Very yummy - thanks for sharing!"
"made these for my moms bday and they look so delicious! look here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3o88RIvu1qdeu7zo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1328834412&Signature=r92kDJQ%2FLhm5s%2BIXryoZ10KvvIw%3D"
"This is outstanding, but I did make a few modifications: I used homemade whipped cream, fresh brewed coffee instead of from instant, and Angel food cake instead of ladyfingers (because I couldn't find them at my local grocery stores). I actually prefer this to real tiramisu - plus no raw eggs!"
"This was great - I would definitely make it again."
"I had a hard time finding ladyfingers, but when I did the, dessert was AWESOME!!"
"This was delicious! I actually soaked the ladyfingers in Kahlua instead of coffee and it turned out great. I also layered into an 8x8 inch dish instead of the parfait glasses. Very easy - would be great for a potluck too!"
"We loved this recipe, my 8 year old thought it was the best. I think it could have had a little more coffee flavoring, after sitting over night the coffee flavor wasn't as strong. Next time I think I'll try some coffee liquer."
"i forgot to give it yummy star power"
"this dessert was yummy !! we tryed it before we chilled it and the coffee flavor was really strong.. so when it says chill over night there is a reason why, but we loved it"
"Easy and delicious, was a big hit with my guests. Makes a beautiful presentation also."
"[quote user="Gramea"]This recipie was excellent.[/quote]
Then I don't understand why you only gave it one star. Not saying anything -- just wondering??"
"This was very easy and quite good."

**Editor's Note: Which is America's top wireless network? Click here to see what we discovered.**
AT&T's recently approved IP-network trials in two southern states are coming under fire from Sprint and T-Mobile, who say the trials are holding back the industry as a whole from developing cross-carrier IP interconnections.
"AT&T's proposed experiment [in Alabama and Florida] is putting the cart before the horse," Sprint wrote in a filing quoted by Wireless Week, saying that if carriers don't migrate their wholesale and intercarrier interconnections to IP first, the benefits of a transition to an all-IP infrastructure will be lost.
Sprint added that the other carriers shouldn't be forced to wait for the experiment to finish before interconnecting in IP format with other carriers or moving from their legacy networks to all-IP.
In a separate filing, T-Mobile said trials such as these shouldn't be allowed to distract from ensuring interconnecting among all carriers and shouldn't involve "unnecessary" or "inefficient" TD-IP conversions or points of interconnection.
AT&T expects to see large cost savings by shutting down its legacy networks. The carrier has committed to phasing out copper in favor of an all-IP infrastructure by 2020.

Not many people could mess up a celebratory fist pump. But Miami Marlins pitcher Chad Qualls is not just any person, and produced this incredible effort in a Major League baseball game last month.
Qualls was celebrating his scoreless 7th inning stint in a match against the Mets - in which he walked one, allowed one hit, and struck out two - with an attempted fist pump as he ran towards the dugout.
Leaving the mound after strike-three, Qualls punched the air in celebration as he headed toward the dugout. As he threw the punch, he snagged his right cleat in the grass and his own forward momentum sent him tumbling to the ground.
Qualls was uninjured and bounced up quickly before covering his face in a towel and laughed with teammates."As soon as I saw the fist pump I put my head down," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "That's one of those if you win that game, you can watch it. But since we lost it's not quite as funny."

Serbia Won't Take U.S. Pressure on Kosovo, President Says
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said he won't accept any pressure from the U.S. as the Balkan nation seeks to normalize relations with Kosovo and begin talks to join the European Union.
Serbia "has made great progress and is open to doing even more" and "rightfully expects to start talks with the EU," Nikolic said in Belgrade before a meeting tomorrow with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in Rome, where both will attend the inauguration Mass of Pope Francis.
"The meeting with Biden comes at the U.S.'s request," Nikolic told reporters today after meeting with EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule. "I would treat any pressure as an indecent form of discussion."
Fule is in Belgrade to meet with Serbian leaders and will travel to Kosovo's capital of Pristina as part of his Balkan tour. It comes less than a month before EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is due to report on Belgrade's bid to improve Kosovo ties that will decide whether Serbia gets a start date for EU entry talks.
"I know the question on your mind at this moment is will Serbia really get the date for starting the negotiations in June" to join the EU, Fule said. "The answer depends on the efforts in delivering on reforms and on the one key priority: progress toward a visible and sustainable improvement of relations with Kosovo."
Kosovo Pressure
Serbia has asked for international diplomatic pressure on Kosovo to make concessions. Premiers Ivica Dacic and Hashim Thaci of Kosovo will meet in Brussels March 20 for a new round of EU-mediated talks.
"Obviously, we are facing the weeks when we will have to make very important and major political decisions," Dacic told reporters in Belgrade after meeting with Fule, adding that Belgrade is also hosting a delegation of Germany's Bundestag "which has its own conditions for Serbia to get a date for the start of talks.
Serbia wants Thaci to grant Serbs in Kosovo ''political and other rights'' including in education, the judiciary and police in Serbian-dominated municipalities.
To obtain a date for EU entry talks, Fule said Serbia must show improvements on the judiciary, fighting corruption and discrimination, media freedom and helping vulnerable groups.
Dacic, who took office in July, has said that he wants to achieve a long-term solution on Kosovo, the breakaway province that declared independence in 2008. Kosovo has been recognized by more than 90 nations, including 22 of the EU's 27 members.

At historic Paterson ballpark, advocates celebrate Hinchliffe Stadium's legacy [video]
PATERSON — In the sunshine of a blustery spring morning, Hinchliffe Stadium came back to life on Wednesday as several hundred people flocked to the historic ballpark to pay homage to its legacy and paint its walls.
"This is not just a day off school, I wanted to give back to the community," said Eastside High student Lakeisah Little. "I want to make Paterson a better place."
In addition to the painting of stadium's walls, the event featured the unveiling of a bronze plaque commemorating the national landmark status that Hinchliffe received last year, a honor in recognition of its status of one of a handful of stadiums still standing from the segregated Negro baseball leagues.
Just a day earlier, Major League Baseball celebrated the 67th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the sport's color barrier by having all players on all teams wear his number, 42.
Few people in the crowd at Hinchliffe on Wednesday understood the impact of Robinson's achievement better than Bob Scott, who had pitched and played first base for the New York Black Yankees from 1946 to 1950.
Scott said he lived in Brooklyn and took the subway to meet his teammates in Manhattan for games at Hinchliffe. "From there, we took the team bus to Paterson," said Scott. "One of my memories of Hinchliffe was in 1948, when we played the Homestead Grays. Buck Leonard hit two home runs off me."
Also attending the festivities was Larry Doby Jr., son of the Paterson Hall of Famer who was the first black man to play in the American League. Bob Kendrick, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo., paid tribute to Doby's accomplishments.
"We should never forget what he did," said Kendrick. "He broke baseball's color barrier in the American League, only weeks after Jackie Robinson did in the National League.
However, the world was watching Jackie Robinson, but not Larry Doby.
"The American League did not have the liberal teams that the National League did," Kendrick added. "In many ways, it was as hard, or harder, for Larry Doby than it was for Jackie Robinson. We must remember the passion the Negro League players had for baseball as they endured social hardship and travelled this country to play."
Built in the 1930s, Hinchliffle has been closed for more than 15 years and the structure has badly deteriorated during that time. City and school district officials are about to begin a $1.5 million stabilization effort to try to keep the ballpark from crumbling beyond repair before they can come up with the money for a full-scale renovation.
Meanwhile, Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. is pushing to get a bill passed in Congress that would expand the boundaries of the national park at the Great Falls to include Hinchliffe, a move that some stadium supports say will help attract investors.
"My father took me here to watch the semi-pro football team, the Paterson Panthers," recalled Pascrell, who had been Paterson's mayor before getting elected to Congress. "That was in the early 1950's. I also used to come to Hinchliffe with my uncle to watch midget car races. You could smell the gasoline and oil all the way downtown."
Many of the volunteers who came to paint Hinchliffe hadn't been born yet when Pascrell was watching the Panthers.
"This stadium is historic," said 16-year old Isaiah Reed, a junior at Rosa Parks high school. "It has a lot of memories. My grandparents came here when they were young. They told me many stories about the football games, track meets, and car races that were held here."
For many generations of Paterson, Hinchiffe was where they went to watch the local high school teams play football. Two ladies who attended Wednesday's event had been cheerleaders at Hinchliffe, although decades apart.
"I was a cheerleader at Eastside in 1956, 1957, and 1958," said Harriette Feitlowitz . "I performed each year for the annual Eastside-Central Thanksgiving Game."
Crystal Cleaves, meanwhile, said she was a Paterson Catholic cheerleader from 1979 to 1981. "Even though our school didn't play Eastside or Kennedy," Cleaves said, "I attended every Thanksgiving Game. They were so exciting. The stadium was packed. People had to be turned away. The marching bands of both schools were tremendous."
Brian LoPinto, one of the founders of the Friends of Hinchliffe Stadium nonprofit group, called Wednesday's events a "grand opening for Hinchliffe."
"Having this type of community outreach for the painting of the stadium looks forward to what's to come in the future," LoPinto said.

John Benemann Responds to Green Algae Strategy Review
I recently published a review of Mark Edward's book Green Algae Strategy: End Oil Imports And Engineer Sustainable Food And Fuel. Following this review, I published a response from Mark Edwards. In that response, Professor Edwards mentioned Dr. John Benemann, who was Principal Investigator and main author of the U.S. DOE Aquatic Species Program (ASP) Close-Out Report:
Skeptics abound in the algae space and the leading skeptic, Dr. John Benemann, speaks at all the algae conferences and stands in stark contrast to many other equally experienced scientists who do not share his natural pessimism. John revels in his reputation for pessimism. Other scientists engaged in the Aquatic Species Report have a completely opposite view. Several are working for companies that are producing algae for fuel. Professor Milton Sommerfeld at ASU and a co-author on the Report, has been producing algal oil for jet fuel in the laboratory and a field setting for several years.
Dr. Benemann had been following the exchange, and has e-mailed me a response to Professor Edward's response, which I post in full below.
I had only glanced at Prof. Edwards book last year, but not read it as it has little or no technical content, and thus not of great interest to me. From what I recall, what Robert Rapier wrote in his review, seems quite reasonable, actually rather mild.
In his response, Prof. Edward wastes no time to bring up my name, for which I am honored, calling me the "leading skeptic" who "speaks at all the algae conferences" and "revels in his reputation for pessimism". Well, I admit that I talk at way too many conferences ("all algae conferences" would be impossible), which I should give up as it seems to do little or no good. But I must correct Prof. Edwards, I am neither a skeptic nor a pessimist. I am an incurable optimist and promoter of algae technology R&D, even for biofuels. I must be, to work in this difficult, if not dismal, field. I am, however, also a realist, about such little matters as, for two examples only, engineering head loss calculations and the limits of photosynthetic efficiencies, which are of no concern to Prof. Edwards, whose avocation is marketing. And, I am afraid, are of no concern either to many, even most, practitioners in this field, who should know better but blithely ignore such realities. It is easier to be an optimist if you only need to market the idea, or do research, but creating reality is somewhat more difficult. I work hard for my optimism, trying to find ways to overcome the technical roadblock and economic limitations.
Prof. Edwards, attempting to rebut my alleged 'pessimism" points to scientists working for "companies that are producing algae for fuel" and that one professor has been "producing algal oil for jet fuel in the laboratory and a field setting for several years". Sorry, there are no companies producing algae for fuel, just try to buy some, even at $100/gallon (at $1000/gallon you may be able to get a few). Some are claiming to be producing, but there is not a shred of evidence that they have succeeded in any meaningful way. (Solazyme may have, but the economics still are far from proven, and using corn starch or sugar is not a good idea, and using sugars from lignocellulosic biomass, well let us not go there either).
The only company I know that is producing algae oil is Martek Corp., and that is for human food and sells for a hundred-fold that of petrol. Neither are laboratory and academic "field" pursuits a guide to reality or technology.
Prof. Edwards claims that he has "seen" one or more order of magnitude "cost reductions" of algal oil production, extraction and mixing, in the last year or two. With all due respect to his discipline, seeing is not believing, data would be, but it must be based on actual measurements and methods that can be independently verified. Nothing of the sort can be pointed to.
Prof. Edwards is, I am sure, a most qualified expert in business and marketing, but I see little here that is real business and even less than is marketing. Algae for feed and fuel still need a great deal of R&D, of uncertain outcome, like all R&D. I recommend to Prof. Edwards that he redirect his obvious talents to help the real algae industry, the nutritional supplements business. That would be most useful – it is hard to convince people that they should ingest algae (pond scum) on a daily basis. Some do, but not nearly enough. There is the real marketing challenge! And it would lead the way to increased production, to larger scales, lower costs, more R&D, and, who knows, maybe eventually get us to a price point where we can sell algae for food and feed competing with commodity crops. Maybe even fuels at that point, perhaps. I am just an incorrigible optimist.

Nice response from John Benemann. I wonder how many projects have endgames to capture goverment money/other investors money and not build a long term viable business. We need less marketing and more engineering and solid cost accounting. How the market is skewed by subsidies was noted by Adam Smith(in this case the word bounty equals subsidies) "Secondly, the bounty to the white-herring fishery is a tonnage bounty; and is proportioned to the burden of the ship, not to her diligence or success in the fishery; and it has, I am afraid, been too common for vessels to fit out for the sole purpose of catching, not the fish, but the bounty" (WN IV.a.32: p 520).

takchess – try out the number of 90% or greater the number of projects whose primary aim is to capture government money or other investors money and have little to do with long term.Examples in the residential wind area (commercial is a different story and I like it)Virtually all residential wind turbines are hopeless – for one example. They show 10 kW at wind speeds of 25 mph but at typical speeds of 10 to 12 mph put out zip.Others claim to start generating at 2 or 3 mph wind speed – OK great but at that speed there is no power in the wind! Many claim to have a way around the Betz law – some kind of magic. Just give us money & find out how great it is they claim.If you look at trial run data from independent testing you see the producers haven't even tested their own machines and certainly haven't designed well. Normally there is more downtime that operational time.

Good response ;)I noticed this article on ScienceDaily 'Milking' Microscopic Algae Could Yield Massive Amounts Of OilThere doesn't seem to be much substance under the hype though. Genetically modified algae?
Comment by bc | June 24, 2009
A note for Kinu:The WSJ has a very pro-nuke op-ed today by Bob Metcalfe, from Polaris Venture Partnmers. A fun read. Maybe worth an RR note as well.

'Milking' Microscopic Algae Could Yield Massive Amounts Of OilWhy, of course!!! Nanoscale suckers on their udders!:-)
Comment by PeteS | June 24, 2009
Bob Metcalfe is barking up the wrong tree when he says,"We should lower the barriers at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the approval of new nuclear reactors, especially the new small ones. In particular, we should drop the requirement that the commission be reimbursed for reconsidering new fission reactor designs."Except of maybe Alaska and Hawaii, there is not much of a need for small reactors in the US. Russia is currently building a barge mounted version of their ice breaker nukes plants. Russia has remote areas where there grid needs small nukes.There are lots of places in the world that needs small power plants and there is no need to get US NRC approval. The US also has small power reactors for navy ships and most of the initial power plants (Humboldt Bay, Big Rock Point, SONGS Unit 1) were small.The control of the chain reaction in nuke reactors is described by the 6-factor formula. On of those factors is neutron leakage out of the core. Larger reactors have an inherent advantage because they have a small neutron leakage factor. Bigger is better when it comes to nukes. However, biomass is perfect for small power plants but maybe it is too mundate for venture capitalists.

Classy write up from John Benemann, the sort of thing that does much to enhance one's reputation.Not a lengthy piece, but he even included some good advice for prof. Mark Edward.BTW, bc, GMO species work great for pharmaceuticals (high value, low volume). They work OK for food. For fuels (low value, high volume) they are next to useless.

A box has faces with areas 3, 12 and 25 square centimetres. What is
the volume of the box?
According to Plutarch, the Greeks found all the rectangles with
integer sides, whose areas are equal to their perimeters. Can you
find them? What rectangular boxes, with integer sides, have their
surface areas equal to their volumes?
This jar used to hold perfumed oil. It contained enough oil to fill
granid silver bottles. Each bottle held enough to fill ozvik golden
goblets and each goblet held enough to fill vaswik crystal spoons.
Each day a spoonful was used to perfume the bath of a beautiful
princess. For how many days did the whole jar last? The genie's
master replied: Five hundred and ninety five days. What three
numbers do the genie's words granid, ozvik and vaswik stand for?
Toby is 2 tomorrow and he wants a big sticky chocolate cake for his party! The problem is that my recipe specifies a 20cm round tin with a depth of 7.5cm, but I haven't got a 20cm round tin.
I do have a 23cm round tin, and I've also got a square tin, which has a side length of 15cm and a depth of 6 cm.
Which one do you think would be best? Or should I go out and buy a new cake tin?

System Snapshot: Revamping the sight and sound at 22 Dempsey – Dempsey Hill, Singapore
End User:
22 Dempsey
Owned by the Starworth Pte Ltd, 22 Dempsey is the latest lifestyle and dining destination located on Dempsey Hill. On the ground floor, restaurants like Carnivore, Beets Modern Vegetarian and Addictions Café satisfy all of their customers' gastronomic cravings. Head to the second floor to chill out at the Still Bar where patrons can enjoy quality live music and the occasional cocktails.
Business Objective:
Having inherited all the old systems previously installed at the venue, the end-user faced problems with faulty systems, with some not even working at all. They therefore sought to revamp their sound and introduce security surveillance system in the property.
What they required was a well-designed, high quality sound system. Additionally, they needed the system to have flexibility, with the ability to be configured and controlled according to their needs without a massive amount of future cabling work. In terms of security, the end-user needed a complete security surveillance system to monitor their premises and ensure the safety of their assets, as well as their employees and customers.
Other than quality, another factor that the end-user was particularly concerned about was price, stressing that the cost of the systems and installations had to be within their limited budget.
The end-user decided on EV sound systems as they were satisfied with the demos and price that was offered. Moreover, the design of the system by the installer met all of the end-users requirements, enabling them to control the systems easily.
The entire system setup is configured, controlled, and processed via an Electro-Voice N8000 NetMax digital matrix controller. Programmable EV remote wall stations for the NetMax allowed staff to easily select any of the four audio sources and volume levels at any of the five different zones around the venue. As each zone setup is very differently, and with the zones being very near each other, the NetMax offered an ease of operation solution as it allowed individual zone EQ to be tuned accordingly via a PC as needed. 7 EV EVID C4.2 and 20 pairs of EVID 4.2T ceiling speakers are installed throughout the restaurant areas to provide background music, driven by 4 EV PA2400T amplifiers.
The Still Bar, which can be subdivided to provide a smaller DJ lounge, was fixed with 2 ELX112P two-way speakers and 2 ELX118P subwoofers from EV's Live X range, a ZXA1-90B two-way speaker as stage monitor, a EV DC-One controller, 2 R300-HD handheld wireless mic systems, a Cardinal cardioid condenser mic for lead vocals and a CMS-1000 Dynacord mixer to drive the systems. In addition, 2 ZXA1-90B two-way speakers with an N/D767a super cardioid mic complete with Bosch stand was provided as a mobile sound solution for any special requests by the customers.
Surveillance solutions from the Bosch Advantage Line were deployed to secure the entire premises of 22 Dempsey. WZ14, VDC-250 and VDC-260 cameras provided high quality images even in dark environments while the DVR 650 provided an easily operated solution for recording and storage.
Customer Benefit:
System control is easy and also allows for future expansions or enhancements. Also, the high sound quality of the EV systems enhanced the quality of the live music, creating an excellent environment not only for the performing bands, but also the patrons as well. Bosch cameras also offer high quality images and the presence of surveillance cameras acts as a deterrent to any criminal activity. In terms of cost, EV solutions and the Advantage Line were very affordable for the end-user.
Key Success Factors:
- System ease of use and control
- Excellent speaker sound and system design
- Excellent back-end support
- Great attention to detail by installer
- Affordable price

Few people seem to look forward to the NFL preseason. Even the league itself has acknowledged that its exhibition season should be shortened.
But once an NFL team has been in training camp for a week and a half, players start saying they actually are eager, at least comparatively so, for a preseason game. That was the case for the Washington Redskins after Saturday's practice in Richmond.
"We're tired of hitting each other," linebacker Brian Orakpo said. "I'm tired of going against Trent [Williams] and the tackles here and they're tired of going against us, the outside 'backers."
The Redskins open the preseason Thursday night at Tennessee.
The team first has practices scheduled for Monday and Tuesday in Richmond. Redskins players were off Sunday.
Have a Redskins question? E-mail Mike Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Mailbag question" for him to answer it in The Mailbag.

1. How does a company unaffiliated with AAL get the information about my unused AAdvantage miles from the the airline and then use it to scam me?
2. They are now trying to repeat the scam by sending me another "ooffer" to use the same unused miles for an additional magazine subscripion.
3. The charges are being disputed via American Express but there is no way to contact this mysterious company.

What type of junction box for attaching motion light to existing attic light?
I am installing an outdoor flood motion light in the backyard which will be attached to the soffit. I was planning to run the wiring off of the existing attic light (see image http://postimage.org/image/pne3i2wdb/). This attic light is controlled by a switch in the hallway.
Two questions:
1. Since the current attic light is wired to a switch, should I also have the motion controlled by the same switch or make the motion light always on?
2. What kind of junction box should be used to connect this to the existing wiring. The existing wiring looks like 14-2 NM, should I use the same size for the new light or 12-2?
Thanks in advance!
if you want the flood light switched with the attic light, this could be relatively easy.
However, your left with two options here. either leave attic light on while flood is on(waste electricity)
or operate attic light solely with pull chain. (no attic light when switch is on)
neither of these are ideal, but it's your house:)
to do this, run 14/2 from the attic light box to the new light box mounted in soffit.
preferably you would want separate control over both lights.
for this to happen you'll need to feed another 14/2 from the switch box to the flood light.
if you dont want to expand a single switch box for a double, you can get a double switch that operates two devices.
like this one:)

heres a decent article on installing soffit lighting:
Not trying to hijack this thread, but just a quick related question...is there such as thing as soffit (outdoor) decorative lighting (with motion sensor, and NOT wall-mounted)?? Is such a thing exist? Just curious, thanks!
Heath Zenith makes a few. You can find them at either Home Depot or Lowe's. Also Amazon.com.
You can also install a separate motion sensor for any type of light.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc's board awarded chief executive Lloyd Blankfein a 75 per cent increase in compensation, to $US21 million, for 2012 – including pay, bonus and restricted stock award.
His pay was unchanged at $US2 million, but both his cash bonus and stock award almost doubled to $US5.7 million and $US13.3 million, respectively.
But a summary compensation table in Goldman's proxy – the standard format for reporting executive pay – tells a different story because Blankfein's stock awards were not granted until January 2013.
That calculation shows Blankfein receiving $US13.3 million in compensation last year, an 18 per cent drop from 2011. The figure includes stock awards from prior years that were paid out in 2012, as well as $323,514 in benefits and other perks.
Additionally, Goldman's board decided to extend the period of time that top executives have to capitalise on long-term incentive awards from 2011 by five years, from December 2013 to December 2018. Under those long-term plans, executives can get up to 150 per cent of such awards if Goldman's average return on equity over the time period reaches at least 15 per cent.
In explaining its bonus awards, Goldman's board called Blankfein a "strong leader" who demonstrated commitment to the bank and its clients, and understood nuances of its business strategy.
The Wall Street bank's earnings nearly tripled last year, due in large part to a major cost-cutting effort as trading and deal-making volumes remained muted. Its shares rose 41 per cent in 2012 and are up a further 17 per cent this year, based on Thursday's closing price of $US149.07.
Compensation for other named executives in Goldman's proxy – chief operating officer Gary Cohn, former chief financial officer David Viniar and vice chairmen J. Michael Evans and John Weinberg – showed similar trends: higher pay awarded for their work in 2012 but pay cuts according to technical calculations.
In addition to compensation, Goldman's proxy outlined distributions made to executives from investment funds managed by the Wall Street bank. Blankfein received $US29.8 million and other senior executives received anywhere from $US125,000 to $US28.3 million.
The proxy filing also included a shareholder proposal from a Chicago attorney named Eric Fogel who owns $US2000 worth of stock and argues that Goldman ought to pursue a merger or outright sale to increase shareholder value.
Other shareholder proposals suggest the bank disclose more information about its lobbying activities, create a human rights committee and allow shareholders to nominate new board members. Goldman recommended that shareholders vote against those proposals.

Bill Dollarhide started a series of what he called "Name List" guides in the Summer of 2013. He wrote steadily on them until sometime in 2015, when life caught up with him, and he had to put the project aside. Well, he went back at it several months ago, and completed new guides for all the rest of the states, alphabetically Minnesota through Wyoming. He also wrote a full book on the U.S. Territories. Finally, Bill went back and updated an earlier volume – choosing Indiana – to test whether enough changes had taken place to make it worthwhile to do Second Editions. Bill found that a number of URL addresses had changed, which he expected, and he found additional data that expanded the volume by another 10 pages.
So this weekend we are releasing all 29 NEW volumes Minnesota through Wyoming, plus U.S. Territories and Indiana Second Edition.
To celebrate, we're pricing all of the new 2017 volumes at 20% off, making them $15.16 (or $10 for the PDF eBook alone). As before, we're throwing in a FREE instantly downloadable PDF eBook version with any paperback book being purchased. See my Super-Saver shipping note below.
To clear out the earlier printed books, those written between 2013 and 2017, FRPC has discounted the price 80%! That makes them only $3.79 each! We will most likely do Second Editions for those volumes sometime in the Fall or Winter. Note that if you only desire the PDF eBook alone, we've discounted them, Alabama through Michigan, by 60%, making them just $5. Again – this is for all volumes Alabama through Michigan.
To make this offer even more attractive, we're offering Super-Saver (USA Only) USPS shipping on all 53 printed books. That's $4.50 for the first book, and only 50 cents for each thereafter.
With the completion of this series of genealogical guides, William Dollarhide continues his long tradition of writing books that family historians find useful in their day-to-day United States research. Bill's Name List guides give a state-by-state listing of what name lists, censuses, and census substitutes are available, where to find them, and how they can be used to further one's research.
Censuses & Substitute Name Lists are key to success in any genealogical endeavor. Name lists, be they national, state, county, or even city or town in scope, can help nail down the precise place where one's ancestor may have lived. And if that can be done, further records, usually found on a local level, will now be accessible to research. But success depends on knowing where the ancestor resided. This is where Dollarhide's Name List guides can make the difference.
Not only do these this volumes give a detailed bibliography of Censuses and Substitute Names Lists available for each state, but links to websites, FHL book & microfilm numbers, archive references, maps, and key historical information make this volume invaluable to the researcher looking to extend their lines and fill in the family tree.

Many of our documents are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader Software.
Mediation is an informal, voluntary, and confidential way to resolve disagreements. A trained mediator helps people in conflict discuss concerns and, when possible, decide what a fair solution is. Mediation is one form of "Appropriate Dispute Resolution" (ADR). Other ADR methods include arbitration and settlement conferences.
Mediators are neutral people who help the parties discuss their conflict. Mediators do not tell people what to do, or decide who "wins" or "loses." Decision-making power stays with the parties. Court-connected mediators are required to meet minimum qualifications available here. For information about how to find a mediator, click here.
The mediation process will vary depending on the mediator. Generally, the mediator will start by describing how the process will work. Then each party will tell the mediator a short story about why they are in mediation. The mediator will help identify the issues, discuss each party's needs, and help the parties talk about possible solutions. During the mediation, the mediator may meet with the parties together or separately. If you have any questions during the mediation process, you should ask your mediator.
Mediation is voluntary. No one can be forced to mediate a dispute.
Rates vary depending on the kind of case. Free mediation is available in small claims, FED (eviction), domestic relations custody and parenting time cases, and some domestic relations financial matters. Free or low-cost mediation is also available through community mediation programs for people who have not yet filed a court case. For more information, click on "Having a dispute" on the left side of this page and then choose your kind of mediation from the list on that page.
If you have not yet filed in court, you may be able to resolve your dispute using a community mediation program. In some cases, the parties may wish to file their agreement with the court. There may be a fee for filing an agreement. Contact your trial court administrator for more information.
Note: Mediation is not a substitute for legal advice. You should contact an attorney if you have questions about your legal rights. If you have a question about Oregon law, click here.

Date of Stay: July, 2009
The campground is a little scary when you first pull in as another reviewer stated, however, does improve. Most sites are along the river/stream which is actually low right now, however, there is a swimming hole withing the campground. Due to the accessibility of this park to Yosemite's south entrance, they get a lot of short term campers, including foreigners so people are in and out quite frequently. While I wouldn't describe it as a "plush" campground -- it was adequate and the lady who runs the place was great and very accommodating. I did not use the showers or laundry rooms and cannot comment on that, however, I did attempt to connect to the internet through their Wi-Fi server to no avail. They did say it was being worked on though. The town of Oakhurst is very quaint and offers many services, including day spas, plenty of restaurants, etc.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We camped here last week due to the campground being in close proximity of Sequoia Park, Ash Entrance and I have to say we were quite pleasantly surprised! We pulled into our site which was surrounded by plenty of grass and gravel, had trellis dividers between sites which were covered in vine (not all sites have the dividers though), and although the campground appeared full when we arrived, it was extremely quiet! The campground has a great private swimming hole location on the flowing river and the grounds were kept very clean. We spoke with the camp hosts for a while and learned that the current owners just purchased the property a couple of years ago and have spent much time and money cleaning it up and making improvements. Of note though: There are still some areas (electric/water only sites) which reflects the "work in progress." Nevertheless, they go to great lengths to maintain the place and keep it clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and gave me the impression that they would attempt to fulfill any requests, however, we didn't have any to ask of them. It was one of the nicest campgrounds, blows away the other RV park in the area and what made it unique is that it seemed as though each site had it's own special amenity which might be different from the one next to it! For example, some sites have the vine covered trellis, some have it's own path to the river, some have large grass areas around them, some have patios and one even has a deck! The only downside that I could find is that they do not have laundry facilities, and although they do have Wi-Fi connection -- it is only accessible at or just outside the office (which they do, however, provide comfortable seating both inside and out for this). The upside though -- the kids spent much less time on the computer and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings!

Peter Penashue's forced resignation from office over accepting 28 separate illegal contributions during the 2011 campaign that led the Conservative Party to repay $48,000 to the federal Receiver General is just the latest example of the low ethical standard the Harper Conservatives feel comfortable adhering to.
