The mission of the Ecotoxicology Program at WSU Puyallup is to study the impacts of pesticides and other toxicants on populations, communities, and food webs with particular emphasis on aquatic organisms inhabiting rivers and streams in the Pacific Northwest, including salmon and the invertebrates that they feed upon. This is accomplished through a mix of laboratory and field studies. The laboratory studies involve developing toxicity data for animals exposed to various chemicals. The effects of low concentrations of the mixtures and concentrations of pesticides commonly found in Washington fresh water systems are also being investigated.
The WSU Salmon Research Laboratory was developed to investigate the effects of multiple pesticides and other toxicants commonly found in Pacific Northwest surface waters on salmon health. The program is supported in part by cooperative agreements with the National Marine Fisheries Service and their Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. The WSU Food and Environmental Quality Laboratory in Richland, Washington is a partner in the program and provides analysis of chemical residues. [Link]
The WSU Environmental Horticulture Program incorporates the following areas: water conservation, recycled organic materials, and stress and pest resistant trees for modern landscapes. In addition, an upper division horticulture course, Hort 332, Interior Plantscaping, is taught from Puyallup via WHETS to students in Pullman, Spokane, Tri-Cities and Wenatchee during spring semesters. Students in Interior Plantscaping learn about the selection, design, installation, management and maintenance of plantings inside commercial buildings, as well as the effects of interior plants on people and the environment. [Link]

The WSU Master Gardener Program is WSU's most famous outreach program and the only uniquely WSU program that has been adopted both nationally and internationally. Active in 36 of our 39 counties, the WSU Master Gardener Program has over 4,000 active adult Master Gardener Volunteers working on behalf of WSU Extension, providing an annual contribution of more than $3.5 million in donated time, about the same as having an additional 65 county faculty positions.
WSU Master Gardener volunteers in Washington each give an average of 52 hours of volunteer service during the year, annually serving over a 250,000 people with science-based horticultural information and programs. The WSU Master Gardener Program also includes a network of 167 "Plant Clinics" operating in 105 communities that offer plant, insect, and disease diagnosis to the public. Approximately 800 persons are trained each year, with approximately 95% becoming WSU Extension volunteers. [Link]
The Natural Resource Science Program involves the breeding and testing of hybrid poplars for growth, disease resistance, and wood chemical and physical traits as it relates to energy content and conversion efficiency to ethanol. A clone arboretum is managed for breeding purposes, and research is conducted on the production physiology of fast growing tree species including hybrid poplars, alders, willows and selected conifers. New directions in research include the breeding and testing of hybrid alder, the physiology of poplar leaf rust, and environmental uses of these tree species in riparian buffer plantings, for carbon sequestration and for wastewater reuse in the Pacific Northwest. [Link]
The Nutrition Education Program addresses important nutrition education issues for individuals and families in Washington state. Some of the projects this group is involved in are:Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), Extension Family and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), Food $ense, and the Nutrition Education Network of Washington (NEN). [Link]
The goal of our program is to build soil productivity, support local agriculture, protect water quality, and facilitate recycling of organic wastes, by applying soil science principles to agricultural, development, and waste management issues. [Link]
The Ornamental Bulb Crop Disease Research Program at WSU Puyallup utilizes a combination of field, greenhouse and laboratory studies to better understand how various cultural and disease management practices affect the development of foliar and soil borne fungal diseases on daffodils, tulips, iris, and lilies. Studies include: 1) looking at survival of inoculum from one season to the next; 2) developing screening protocols to examine pathogen variation and host resistance; 3) developing information that helps growers minimize the number of fungicide applications needed to control various diseases; 4) managing fungicide resistance: and 5) developing safer more environmentally sound control strategies. For more information about this program, contact Gary Chastagner: email@example.com. [Link]

With leadership from the statewide Small Farms Program, WSU's Small Farms Team engages in Extension, research, and teaching activities that benefit small- and mid-sized family-owned farms. The 40 team members help our state's growers manage the new realities of urban-influenced agriculture. These growers face development pressure, increased costs, and competitive global markets, but also enjoy advantages that come with smaller scale production. They can more quickly adapt to emerging markets, tend to be viewed positively by their communities, and are poised to benefit from increased demand for sustainably grown farm products. Team members represent a wide variety of specialties, and are based in WSU programs, state agencies and non-profit organizations. [Link]
The Small Fruit Breeding and Genetics Program works to develop new raspberry and strawberry cultivars adapted to the Pacific Northwest that have excellent flavor, high yields and improved disease resistance. The program also conducts research on genetic variation and cultivar responses. Research in the near future will be on the nutritional properties of raspberries, root rot tolerance and machine harvestability of raspberries. For more information about this program, contact Pat Moore: firstname.lastname@example.com
The WSU Structural Pest IPM program trains professionals to reduce the number of inaccurate wood-destroying organism inspections and reduce the potential health risks from unnecessary or improper pesticide applications. A trained workforce of Structural Pest Inspectors and Pest Management Professionals will be more knowledgeable about identification of structural pests, conditions conducive to pest infestations, and integrated pest management (IPM) techniques.
A Structural Pest Research and Demonstration Facility is located at WSU Puyallup. This facility offers unique opportunities for research and demonstration workshops related to structural pests and their management. In addition, it will provide both hands-on demonstration workshops and pre-license training classes for Structural Pest Inspectors, Pest Management Professionals, and other clientele. For more information about this program contact Carrie Foss: firstname.lastname@example.com. [Link]
Phytophthora ramorum is the recently identified exotic pathogen that causes sudden oak death and Ramorum leaf blight and/or shoot dieback on over 60 host plants. Douglas and grand fir are natural hosts of this pathogen under certain conditions in California. In addition, a large number of conifers, including noble fir, have been shown to be susceptible to this pathogen in laboratory studies.
During the past two years there has been increased concern about the potential disruption of shipment of Christmas trees and boughs out of the Pacific Northwest because of potential quarantines relating to this pathogen. About one third of the 25 million Christmas trees produced annually in the USA come from western Oregon and Washington. Douglas-fir, noble fir and grand fir account for 55%, 36% and 5% of the production, respectively. In addition, about 20,000 tons of noble fir boughs are harvested from natural stands of trees in the Cascade Mountains. During 2004, 669 Oregon and 116 Washington Christmas tree plantations were surveyed for the presence of this pathogen. A total of 441 noble fir bough production stands were also sampled. No P. ramorum was detected during these surveys. For more information about this program, contact Gary Chastagner: email@example.com. [Link]
The WSU Puyallup Turfgrass Science program provides research and extension information on turfgrass in the Pacific Northwest, primarily west of the Cascade Mountains. Topics include golf courses, athletic fields, lawn care, mowing practices, European Crane fly, turfgrass diseases, turfgrass weeds, turfgrass fertility, turfgrass cultivar evaluations, turfgrass irrigation, turfgrass integrated pest management, and other environmentally related issues. [Link]
Urban horticulture is an emerging field with few academic experts; it encompasses all facets of selecting, installing, and managing plant materials in home landscapes, public greenspaces, restoration sites, and commercial settings. The Urban Landscape Horticulture Program at WSU Puyallup is relatively new, beginning in April of 2004. The Extension Horticulturist provides outreach seminars to WSU Master Gardeners, the nursery and landscape industries, landscape architects, and community groups reaching over 3000 individuals in the past year. Please contact Linda Chalker Scott for more information. [Link]
WSPRS is the main mechanism used to facilitate communication between Washington agricultural interests and state, regional and national entities involved in pesticide issues. WSPRS is one of several Washington State Links with the Western Regional Integrated Pest Management Center. WSPRS serves as a hub for research-based information about pest management practices, including both chemical and alternative control methodologies. This hub allows web clients to connect directly with WSU researchers working in different areas of pest management around state. This hub also allows clients to obtain information about pesticides registered in Washington and Oregon as well as specific information submitted to EPA/USDA on pesticide use practices of Pacific Northwest growers. Clients include Washington State agricultural producers, researchers, Extension staff, and local, state and national policy makers. On an internal basis the Pesticide Coordinator's Office Reviews and approves all WSU publications containing pesticide recommendations. [Link]
Water, Water Quality and Stormwater programs at WSU Puyallup are focused on one of the state's most critical issues: polluted run-off (stormwater) and the resulting degradation of healthy aquatic environments. These programs foster leading research, education and training to identify and reduce invisible threats to water quality. The result is new and more effective stormwater management practices committed to improve, restore and sustain healthy fresh and marine water systems.
The Washington State 4-H Foundation is a private non-profit foundation governed by a 21 member Board of Trustees for the purpose of serving 4-H youth programs in Washington State.

Up until last night, the Maple Leafs-Flyers series featured about as much unpleasantness as a grade school piano recital.
If this series lacked an edge, it certainly has evolved into one as Toronto's 4-1 win last night exposed the nasty side.
At the centre of the ugliness emerged Philly defenceman Marcus Ragnarsson, who floored Alexander Mogilny with a nasty slash to the leg in the third period.
"I thought that was pretty cheap," Tie Domi said. "The guy two-handed him twice."
Mogilny also was angry with the Flyers' Jeremy Roenick and, in fact, went after him in the third, which is out of character for the flashy Russian, who also nailed former Leafs defenceman Danny Markov with a hit that bordered on boarding. There was no call.
"He was picking away at me," Mogilny said of his altercation with Roenick. "If somebody's picking away at you long enough, you've got to respond."
Of course, Mogilny's anger had all but vanished once the game had ended. By the time he had showered and dressed, he was back to being his usual comical self. For instance, when asked to recall the last time he got into a fight, Mogilny replied: "Early in my career, and then everybody found out how good I was and nobody wanted to fight me."
Another irritated member of the home team was goaltender Ed Belfour, who took exception to Philly's frequent forays into the crease.
Belfour identified Flyers captain Keith Primeau as the main culprit and the two exchanged words more than once during the contest.
"It seems like any time our defenceman gets a little bit of a hook on them, it gives them, in their minds, the right to try to run me over, or plow into me or do whatever they can to get a piece of me," Belfour said.
Whether the nastiness heats up from here on in, which it probably will, no one knows, but Toronto coach Pat Quinn isn't about to lose sleep over it.
"It's one of the elements of the media, controversy," he said. "And conflict. What's the other (word)? It all has to do with crap. That's spelled with a C as well."
Bitterness starting to fester

IT will be a merry clickmas for internet shoppers — with some online prices being HALF of what stores are charging.
Popular presents including toys, perfume, electricals and DVDs are on average a third cheaper on the internet.
Our investigation comes two days ahead of Mega Monday — set to be the busiest online shopping day of the year, when nearly £1billion will be spent on the web.
The snapshot survey for The Sun by TalkTalk looked at 45 of this year's bestselling gifts.
Food and drink were 30 per cent less online, health and beauty 20 per cent, electrical 54 per cent, entertainment 26 per cent and toys 33 per cent.
The biggest savings include a Braun Oral-B cordless toothbrush which costs £46.95 on Amazon but £99.99 at Currys — more than twice as much (113 per cent).
A large box of Ferrero Rocher is £11 on Amazon but £16 in Debenhams, a difference of 45 per cent. A bottle of Lanson Black Label Champagne is £20.89 on drinksupermarket.com, while the same bottle is £32.99 in Tesco, 58 per cent more.
In terms of toys, a Bob The Builder Deluxe Construction Tower costs £9.95 on kiddimax.co.uk but £14.97 in Tesco, a difference of just over 50 per cent.
Figures from the Centre for Economics and Business Research show prices online have fallen 1.2 per cent since last year, while shop prices have risen 2.7 per cent.

Chapter 9 of The Saved and The Destroyed
Miscellaneous by: RaiWarzone
Status: Finished
Genre: Fan Fiction
Chapter 9: Max's Temptation
It was 4:23am when I was woken up by a shriek...well, a scream more like! Iquickly looked next to me to see Jen's back arched and her sweating. I was now fully awake, and my only objective was to wake her up from whatever nightmare she was having.
"Jen?" I breathed, putting my hand on her shoulder. "JEN!" I shook her awake, her fightingme off even when she was up. I quickly turned on the light once she had calmed her body down enough to give soft sobs. "Shhh..." I said quietly, winding my arms around her, "Shh, Jen it was just a nightmare, a bad dream..." I held her tighter, kissing the top of her head.
"Oh, Max! It was--the girl told me to turn the monitor off but I couldn't! And-and her claws then the demons that took you away and-" she was crying hysterics and all I could think to do was hold her tight and try to make everything better.
"Baby..." I whispered, moving a stray hair out of her face and kissed her lightly just once. "It was just a n ightmare, Jen...you're okay. We're okay"
Jen hadn't slept since she had woken up, her cheeks still tear-stained. We just lay next to each other for hours staring at each other with the occassional smile. Not one word was spoken, not one inch was moved. I finally willed her to get up and eat breakfast with me, but now all she would do was go through her phone.
"Jay called me 13 times last night...Bailey did 17...what is going on?" she whispered, the beeping of the keypad on her phone echoing through our kitchen.
"Not sure.." was all I could think to mutter. That atmosphere in the room was obnoxious but I didn't want to say anything. I knew how she disliked me intruding her thoughts.
Jen looked up at me and smiled, reaching across the table and stroking my cheek with her thumb. "Thank you.."
What? "...why?"
"For being the best boyfriend and staying up with me. I love you."
"I love you, too…" my eyes immediately flicked to her phone as soon as she picked it up. "Who are you calling?"
"Jay." She waited for as the phone rang and I went back to my cereal. I let her have her conversation but when I looked back up her face had paled.
"What happened" I mouthed, but she just shook her head at me and smiled lightly. She put up a finger telling me 'just one minute' and continued to listen to whatever he was saying.
"Hey Jay? I'm going to put you on speaker so I can hear you better, okay?" she looked up at me, pausing. "No he went to the shop to get some breakfast." Then put it on speaker.
Jay had quickly agreed with an 'okay' as soon as she did. The next 20 minute story time was shocking to say the least. Liv had left him, and he feared he was in love with another girl while still being in love with Liv. I felt sorry for him. His life was quickly ripping apart at the seams. That was clearly evident with his shaky voice and choke-over tears. It was time I did something.
Despite Jen's protests I threw my dishes in the sink, grabbed my jacket and left. It was time to reassure myself that life wasn't as fucked up as it was.

April 3, 2011
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The UAB pitching staff entered Sunday's series finale having allowed just one home run through 26 games, but East Carolina's Zach Wright hit two opposite field shots, including the go-ahead homer in the top of the ninth, as the Pirates escaped Young Memorial Field with an 8-5 win.
The Blazers (16-11, 4-2 C-USA) were three outs away from a series sweep of East Carolina (20-7, 3-3 C-USA) before the Pirates did what no other team has done this season -- score a run against UAB closer Ryan Nance.
A perfectly executed suicide squeeze bunt by Nick Crawford in the top of the eighth scored Coy Arrowood to give the Blazers a 5-4 lead, and then UAB handed the ball to Nance in the ninth as he looked for his eighth save of the year.
The Blazer closer had not allowed a single run in 14.2 innings when he took the mound, but a leadoff double by Ben Fultz gave East Carolina life. A groundout and a walk later, Wright came to the plate with two runners on and lifted an 0-1 pitch high in the air, riding the wind all the way over the right field fence to give ECU a 7-5 lead.
The Pirates tacked on an insurance run later in the inning on an RBI single from Chris Gosik before reliever Seth Simmons, who entered the game in the eighth, sent UAB down in order in the bottom of the ninth to close out the game and earn the win.
"We had a great opportunity to win this game," UAB head coach Brian Shoop said. "You're going to lose games that you just lose, but when you have a chance to win, you have to win as many of those as you can. But credit East Carolina for getting it done. In a year where nobody is hitting home runs, Zach Wright now has nine."
Wright finished 3-for-4 on the day with four RBI, while John Wooten added two hits for the Pirates. Keith DePew collected a pair of hits and drove in two runs for UAB, and Jamal Austin also had two hits.
In a back-and-forth game, DePew's two-RBI single in the fourth put the Blazers on top 4-3 and helped to force East Carolina starter Brad Mincey from the game. The Pirates knotted the score at 4-4 in the top of the sixth on an RBI groundout by Corey Thompson, and then the game became a battle of the bullpens.
UAB's Blake Huddleston tossed three innings and was not charged with a run in relief of starter Michael Busby, who allowed four runs (two earned) in five-plus frames. Jake Harris worked four innings out of the ECU bullpen and only allowed UAB's eighth-inning run. Nance took the loss for UAB after suffering his first blown save of the season.
On the offensive side of things, UAB stranded a total of 13 base runners and left the bases loaded twice as it lost for just the second time in 15 home games this spring.
"We had a lot of chances, but we made a lot of mistakes," Shoop said. "Still, we were in a position to win with our guy on the mound. He can't do it every time, but he's been great in that role this year."
Despite Sunday's loss, UAB still tallied its first series victory over East Carolina since 2007 and won its second straight series to start conference play. The Blazers came up just short of their first three-game sweep in league action since 2007.
After two weeks of league play, UAB is tied with Rice for third place in the C-USA standings, just behind 3-0 Houston and 5-1 Southern Miss.
UAB returns to action on Tuesday with a midweek road trip to Jacksonville State for a 6:30 p.m. CT first pitch. The Blazers then travel to Houston next weekend to resume conference play with a three-game series.

Friday, we reported that three Canandaigua hikers had a rough night in the dark after falling down an embankment Thursday night at Clark's Gully in the Town of Italy. On Friday afternoon, the Yates County 911 center received another call from hikers in Clark's Gully. This time, four teens from Naples were hiking the gully around 5:00 when one lost his footing. 15-year old Malcom Makepeace fell 15 feet, injuring his leg. A ropes team helped Makepeace out of the gully. The other three teens were not injured. Makepeace suffered minor injuries.

i've been out of the mk3 scene for a long time, but the "quality" of these cars are not up there. i'm not saying everyone blow all your $$ on show stoppers, but at least represent the MK3's better than this.
sorry if i offend, but even before reading Tay's comment, i thought the same thing to myself.

Issue: Failing to train employees on discrimination and harassment can prove a costly mistake, but so is training them the wrong way.
Benefit: Effective and ongoing training signals your "good-faith" efforts, which can help you defend against an employee lawsuit.
Action: Use this checklist to see how your training efforts stack up, then make appropriate policy changes.
A strong anti-discrimination and anti-harassment training program will help keep disputes and lawsuits at bay. And, in case of a lawsuit, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the courts will consider your "good-faith" efforts as part of your defense.
But simply shooting employees an e-mail with your written policy once a year isn't enough. Courts want proof that you've put an effective and ongoing training program in place.
How effective is your training? Use this checklist of training "musts" to help you decide:

PASSING OFFENSE: C-plus -- QB Sam Bradford had an up-and-down day, but he did convert two third-down passes on a key third-quarter touchdown drive and also ran for a first down on third down. He didn't throw a touchdown pass for the first time since the Oct. 10 loss to Detroit, and he missed wide-open TE Daniel Fells for what would have been a score when the pass was tipped because he failed to loft it enough. He also had an interception, which contributed to a 66.3 passer rating. WR Danny Amendola had just one reception, but it was a 17-yard third-down conversion that provided the spark for the third-quarter touchdown march. Bradford completed passes to eight different players.
RUSHING OFFENSE: B -- The going was tough for the second consecutive week, but RB Steven Jackson scored on a 27-yard touchdown run and had better success than the week before in Denver. Jackson had his fourth 100-yard game of the season and his fourth game with at least 25 rushing attempts.
PASS DEFENSE: A -- The Rams had two interceptions, four sacks and limited the Cardinals to a 26.2 passer rating. Arizona's three quarterbacks completed just 11 of 29 passes for 148 yards. WR Larry Fitzgerald had three receptions in the first quarter, but only one during the rest of the game.
RUSH DEFENSE: B -- In the first half, the Cardinals rushed for 91 yards on 12 attempts, including three plays that gained 20, 23 and 32 yards. However, the Rams played better run defense in the second half, as Arizona had seven rushes for 14 yards.
SPECIAL TEAMS: A -- This was one of the best all-around games for the Rams' special teams this season. Coach Steve Spagnuolo credited the special teams for helping keep the Rams in the game in the first half. Amendola averaged 26.0 yards on three kickoff returns, and he had three punt returns of 15, 28 and 39 yards for a 27.3-yard average. Donnie Jones averaged 50.0 yards per punt with a 45.5-yard net, as three returns totaled only 18 yards. Arizona KR LaRod Stephens-Howling, one of the best in the league, was held below his season average of 27.7 as he returned six kickoffs for a 24.3-yard average. He did have returns of 29, 30 and 33 yards, but his other three totaled just 54 yards. To top it off, PK Josh Brown had four field goals, including one from 52 yards.
COACHING: A -- Coach Steve Spagnuolo has to be given credit for molding a team in his vision. While winning for the second straight week on the road, the Rams won the turnover battle, made few mistakes (two penalties for 15 yards), and didn't allow a third-down conversion until the fourth quarter. The blitzes were timely on defense, and the offense even mixed in some passes in the last possession that ran the final 5:17 off the clock.

The D.C. Council chairman will hold a hearing to look into concerns about the legitimacy of a contract award to overhaul a troubled city-owned hospital before a Feb. 19 vote on the deal.
Chairman Phil Mendelson on Wednesday confirmed that, in light of recent news reports, some of his colleagues raised questions about the contract award while they were at a breakfast meeting before Tuesday's legislative session.
"I agreed to hold a public roundtable, in effect a hearing, and it will be open to the public," Mr. Mendelson told The Washington Times, adding that a representative from the D.C. Office of Contracts and Procurements and the contracting officer's technical representative will be asked to attend the 3 p.m. hearing Feb. 13.

Turn to page 34, if you dare...
Ah, the "Choose Your Own Adventure" novel. The cornerstone of my love of fantasy and adventure stories. I can't say it helped foster any sense of commitment though. I rarely made a choice without keeping my finger at the proverbial fork in the road, just in case I had to back-track. Sort of went against the point of the medium, but I couldn't have anyone falling off a cliff or being vaporized by an alien death ray. Not on my watch.
Further proof that everything that was old is new again, CYOA is trying out downloads of their classic series designed specifically for iPods. The first title , The Abominable Snowman, is currently available for free (until Jan. 25th). It looks like they want to get some feedback during beta testing, and what better way is there than using the word "free"? The downloads include full color illustrations and sound effects, in addition to the author's own voice telling the story.
So, anyone up for a little retro reading?

Okay, here it is. IE 8 (also IE 7) has no option to Open a New Tab in the flyout menu when clicking on a Favorite. Supposedly, IE7 Pro add-on allows it, but I have never gotten it to work in IE 7 (or IE 8). Anybody have registry hack to implement this? Firefox does it and, yes, the tabs can get numerous, but having to click the New Tab button (or CTL-T) is an unnecessary additional step. Hitting the link just "overwrites" whatever tab you're on in IE.

Wet Seal Inc.
(Nasdaq: WTSLA)
Phone: 949-583-9029
Price (6/4/99): $28 1/4
Selling apparel and accessories to young women can be quite a challenge. Thanks to smart merchandising and fast inventory turns, Wet Seal (Nasdaq: WTSLA) has become the queen of teen retailers. Still, it remains a slippery stock that periodically dives back into the water, creating major opportunities for investors looking for washout values.
For the first part of last year, this retailer's same-store sales were so-so -- down 3.2% in Q1 and up 4.3% in Q2. Growing fears of recession late last summer sank Wet Seal along with other specialty retailers. Then, on September 15, the stock plunged 30% to below $14 per share after warning that weak back-to-school sales would cause earnings to fall well short of the $0.48 per share estimate.
Third quarter earnings actually came in at $0.41 per share, well above the $0.35 worst-case figure management had feared. Same-store sales even rose, albeit by an anemic 0.1%. The stock began recovering with the market. Fourth quarter results proved terrific, with sales up 23% to $146 million on a 6% increase in same-store sales. Earnings per share (EPS) shot ahead 51% to $0.95.
As sales and market psychology turned, Wet Seal was bid up. The stock hit a recent May high of $47. Investors were heartened by the strong fourth quarter and saw easy comp-store comparisons ahead. Also, the company acquired leases and store fixtures for 19 Mothers Work (Nasdaq: MWRK) locations on December 1 while finalizing the acquisition of leases and fixtures for 80 Britches of Georgetown stores on February 1. Wet Seal planned to use this real estate to do a national rollout of its new Arden B. chain in basically one quarter.
That rollout went smoothly and helped pump sales up 17% to $123 million. EPS of $0.34 beat the $0.31 analyst consensus estimates. However, same-store sales increased just 2.9%, less than the 4% that analysts were expecting. That raised fears that the company's second quarter has started off on the wrong foot. Priced for good news, the stock has recently given back most of its 1999 gains.
Wet Seal is a specialty retailer of apparel and accessories catering mostly to fashion-oriented teenage girls (juniors) and young women. It operates 538 stores in 42 states. Its 248 Contempo Casuals stores and 197 Wet Seal locations serve juniors, while its rapidly expanding chain of 76 Arden B. stores attracts young contemporary women (ages 20 to 45) looking for both casual and dressy apparel. It also has 17 unisex Limbo Lounge locations.
The company opened an extraordinary 85 new stores during the first quarter, with about 80 opened in the last six weeks of the period. Of the new stores, 51 were Arden B. locations. Though Wet Seal tested this concept in its other chains during 1997 and 1998, the first Arden B. didn't open until last November. Wet Seal plans to open 108 total stores this year, including 78 in former Britches locations.
By midyear, the company will launch a website to promote its Blue Asphalt private label brand (www.BlueAsphalt.com) and reintroduce a related catalog for back-to-school wear. Capital expenditures will run about $53 million this year due to the real estate acquisitions and rapid rollout of Arden B. stores.
Wet Seal defines its comp-store sales figures rather restrictively as stores "that were open throughout the full fiscal year and throughout the full prior fiscal year." I read that to mean that Arden B.'s results won't figure significantly into the comp-store sales figure until fiscal year 2001.
Wet Seal competes with other specialty apparel retailers such at The Limited (NYSE: LTD), Gap, Inc. (NYSE: GPS), Delia's (Nasdaq: DLIA), Gadzooks (Nasdaq: GADZ), Pacific Sunwear (Nasdaq: PSUN), and bebe (Nasdaq: BEBE).
Insiders own 29% of the stock, including all of the supervoting class B shares.
Income Statement 12-month sales: $503.4 million 12-month income: $26.87 million 12-month EPS: $2.00 Profit Margin: 5.3% Market Cap: $362 million Balance Sheet* Cash: $31.6 million Current Assets: $87.0 million Current Liabilities $65.1 million Long-term Debt/Rent: $8.7 million (*As of January 30, 1999. As of May 1, cash was $60.8 million) Ratios Price-to-earnings: 14.1 Price-to-sales: 0.7HOW COULD YOU HAVE FOUND THIS DOUBLE?
During last fall's stock market meltdown, shares of apparel retailers were getting skinned -- Wet Seal especially. So after the Q3 profit warning, the board announced plans to buy back up to 20% of the Class A shares. That was a super-smart move given that the shares traded down to $13 5/8. After all, the company had cash and investments to back nearly half the firm's market capitalization.
By the end of September, Wet Seal had repurchased 1.33 million shares (12.4% of the Class A stock) at an average per-share price of $14.82. Stock buyback announcements call attention to potential values. Actual buybacks underscore the point. Of course, our own "Fool Plate Special" detected a potential value at the time, too.
The first rule of investing in fashion-oriented apparel retailers is to make sure the balance sheet is solid. Wet Seal's definitely is. Even after the store expansion and substantial stock buyback, the company reports cash and investments of $60.8 million ($4.75 per share).
Moreover, inventories for the quarter rose 17.8%, which is more than sales, but considerably less than the 25% increase in retail square footage. Backing out the catalog inventories from last year, inventories are actually up 3% on a comp-store basis, in line with same-store sales growth. That's good.
While Q1 EPS benefited from the share buyback, the company lost some interest income versus last year as a result. The tax rate also increased to 40.0% from 38.5%. So operating income actually increased 42.2%, or even better than EPS. Gross margins improved to 29.18% from 28.59%, while selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses fell to 23.91% of sales from 24.24% last year.
However, there are a lot of cross currents in here. For example, last year's SG&A included catalog expenses not incurred this year since the catalog is being revamped. On the other hand, Wet Seal has already started its $3 million FY99 ad campaign, so SG&A expenses minus the catalog actually rose by 90 basis points in the first quarter. Meanwhile, the company is spending on training to get its new Arden B. personnel up to speed.
The current consensus earnings estimate for FY99 (ending next January) is $2.38 per share. So the stock trades at about 12 times this year's earnings projection, which itself assumes nearly 25% growth. That's just a little ahead of the 21% long-term growth analysts are projecting. Yet, if you back out the cash, the P/E drops to about 10. The price-to-sales ratio is also low for a company delivering 5.3% net margins. In addition, the trailing return on equity is an appealing 22.1%. So, based on the financials, the stock looks like a value.
What interests me about Wet Seal, though, is my own Peter Lynchean experience. I recently accompanied a friend into an Atlanta area Arden B. located next to a bebe. Arden B.'s styles and prices compared favorably to bebe's. Better yet, the clothes actually fit my relatively svelte thirty-something friend. She had a hard time squeezing into bebe's "body-conscious" threads. The Arden B. sales help was exceptional, too. A random stroll into a new store turned into a major shopping outing.
My experience jibes with CEO Kathy Bronstein's comments that Arden B.'s merchandise has been well received and that the real work to be done is on the marketing side. This is great news for Wet Seal since some analysts think Arden B. could do $350 in sales per square foot, or 30% above the average Wet Seal store. Also, operating margins at Arden B. could run in the 15% to 20% range, or at least double the margins at Wet Seal stores.
Arden B. looks like a winner, and one that won't be captured by the firm's same-store sales metric for some time. Moreover, I like the fact that Wet Seal's executive team rolled out this chain so rapidly and deftly. Between that and the huge stock buyback, management has proven its smarts.
However, Wet Seal is highly dependent on female shoppers, which gives management less flexibility in adjusting store displays to fashion trends than a more unisex retailer has. Given Wet Seal's small same-store sales gain in the first quarter and the recent interest rate scare, the stock could come under more pressure as investors discount slower consumer spending and worry about the second quarter results. So while the stock looks like a solid long-term value today, it might get cheaper.

Re: sky hooks
The MCSA would take some too, for the ARF and for the expedition gear I'm sure. Cormac, Andy D, where are you?
Happy climbing
Re: sky hooks
As we are offering these around, I would love one for trading
Sandbagging is a dirty game
Re: Bolt Hanger
My apologies chaps i meant to say bolts was thinking something and typing another! Andy can pm me if he wants them as i know he is part of replacement fund. If They dont want them ill sell them to someone privately at a ridiculous price.
Re: Bolt Hanger
Is it bolts, hangers or sky hooks?
If bolts we (ARF) would be keen, as we would use those for rebolting in Cederberg and Paarl.
Are they Fisher, Hilti or Upat?

Trustees must keep abreast of developments in cross-border confidentiality disclosure requirements, say Robert Shepherd and Matthew Guthrie
Unlike a certain member of the coalition cabinet who was recently found to be disposing of confidential documents on a daily basis in a park bin, a good trustee will be kept awake at night worrying about how to comply with their confidentiality obligations and how much confidential information they may be requested to disclose in different offshore financial centres.
The limits on when a trustee should, or may be allowed to, disclose confidential information are seldom given sufficient thought when a trust is established. When the issue arises it is often resolved through either an application to court or by the trustee obtaining suitable indemnities from the beneficiaries. However, better advice at the outset may succeed in avoiding such problems.
There are a number of key occasions when a trustee will need to consider whether to disclose confidential information, and if so how best to protect both themself and the object of the disclosure request.
This can happen on receipt of a request for information from the tax authority of a jurisdiction in which the settlor or a beneficiary is resident for tax purposes, or when information is needed to be provided to a tax authority in a jurisdiction in which part of the trust fund is situated or to third parties entitled to such information for anti-money laundering purposes.
The precise confidentiality obligations of a trustee depend on the jurisdiction, if any, in which the trustee is regulated, the governing law of the trust and the terms of the trust instrument itself.
For example, in Guernsey a licensed trust company is required to comply with the Code of Practice – Trust Service Providers and to "maintain confidentiality except where disclosure of information is required or permitted by an applicable law or by guidance by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, or authorised by the person(s) to whom the duty of confidentiality is owed". In the Cayman Islands a trustee would need to have regard to the obligations imposed by the Confidential Relations (Preservation) Law.
When to open up
The terms of a trust instrument may also impose specific confidentiality obligations on a trustee. If so, a good trusts draughtsman may well include details of the circumstances in which the trustee is permitted to disclose confidential information.
If no such carve-out is included the trustee may struggle to obtain professional services in certain jurisdictions where service providers will need information on the beneficiaries to comply with anti-money laundering requirements.
A trustee will sometimes wish to disclose confidential information about beneficiaries to tax authorities to benefit from more favourable tax treatment. For example, if a trust with investments in the US does not comply with the provisions of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act when they become effective, the trust could face a higher rate of withholding tax.
In a drive to increase tax revenues, many jurisdictions are seeking to maximise the information they can collect about offshore structures established by individuals resident in their jurisdiction – see, for example, recent bilateral agreements between the UK and Liechtenstein and between Germany and Switzerland.
Some jurisdictions have even sought to impose extraterritorial tax obligations on trustees. For example, new French legislation makes trustees, whether resident in France or not, jointly liable with settlors or beneficiaries for the French wealth tax due on the trust assets. Furthermore, if the trustee does not comply with the French reporting requirements in relation to the trust, this can give rise to a penalty of up to 5 per cent of the trust fund, assessable on the settlor or beneficiaries.
The reporting obligation may run headlong into confidentiality provisions in the trust instrument, in which case failure to report will be to the detriment of the settlor and the beneficiaries. This would be particularly problematic if only one of the beneficiaries were to be resident in France or the settlor was resident in France but not a beneficiary.
TIEA fighters
Finally, it should be remembered that, although a trustee may have stringent confidentiality obligations, these may be circumvented by the tax authority in which the trust is resident. While the rule in Government of India v Taylor (1955) that State A will not enforce the tax revenue judgment of State B remains good, the number of tax information exchange agreements (TIEAs) executed between states in the past decade potentially offers a way around the rule.
State A may have to satisfy the tax authority in State B that it has exhausted all of its enquiries in State A and that it has sufficiently identified its taxpayer as someone whose affairs are dealt with by the tax authorities of State B. However, once those conditions are complied with, State B is obliged to make a request of its own taxpayer, who is perhaps a trustee, and require the trustee to disclose all information it has in relation to State A's reluctant taxpayer. It is unclear how many TIEA requests have been made in recent years, but it is yet another tool in the armoury of thirsty government tax collectors.
Under the Guernsey's law on trusts a trustee is required to act as a bon père de famille. This requires having regard to the developing and varied regimes on disclosure of confidential information as well as disposing of confidential documents in a more prudent fashion than Oliver Letwin.

Miller said he had been filming all day and had his tapes confiscated only after Crawford's dunk over James.
"LeBron called Lynn over and told him something," Miller told CBSSports.com. "That's how I knew his name was Lynn. LeBron said, 'Hey, Lynn. Come here.' "
Minutes later, Miller said Merritt demanded his tape.
"There's nothing I can think of besides LeBron just not wanting it online," Miller told CBSSports.com. "It's a good story to tell people, I guess. But then again, I'm kind of pissed. I lost my tape."

In Horns by Joe Hill, Ig Perrish wakes up one day with horns growing out of his head and the powers of the devil. Not sure how this happened, he discovers that not only can he hear people's darkest secrets, but they also have a compulsion to tell him their inner truths. Oh, and no one seems to notice Ig's horns.
Ig is haunted by the rape and murder of his girlfriend, Merrin, a crime for which he is blamed but did not commit. As he struggles with his new power, he revisits his relationship with his family, his friends and Merrin. He discovers truths that change him. Ultimately Horns is about good coming from evil, change coming from struggle.
Joe Hill is a great writer. His books are cleanly written, have wonderful character development, and a strong pace. Unlike his father, Stephen King, Hill isn't a true horror writer. His books are more of a blend of horror, mystery and fiction, with a dash of ghost story thrown in for good measure.
A 2011 GR Reads pick, I think that Horns is the book that most directly relates to the Good vs. Evil theme. Through Ig's eyes, we see that the eternal struggle between right and wrong is universal. That we all have bad thoughts and want to do bad things, but most of the time, we choose not to act on them. How Ig chooses to use his powers is the crux of the story. I often wanted to tell him what to do, to control him. In the end, the reader is left wondering if Ig can remain a good guy while embodying a bad one.

Fallout 3's a good choice. Might also want to keep Dishonored in mind, which is also published by Bethesda.
As for RPGs, I guess there's also Morrowind? I'm not familiar with enough with RPGs on Steam, nor am I sure how familiar you are with them. It's a very varied genre.

MADISON - Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a pair of rapid-fire tests for botulinum toxin, a feat that could underpin new technologies to thwart bioterrorism and spur the development of agents to blunt the toxic action of the world's most poisonous substance.
Writing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the Wisconsin group, led by UW-Madison physiologist Edwin R. Chapman, describes the development of two assays for botulinum toxin - one a real-time test - that vastly improve on current technologies to detect the deadly poison.
"We needed a real-time assay," says Chapman, suggesting that the technology could potentially be deployed to protect the food supply, soldiers on the battlefield or used by emergency responders dealing with an unknown agent. "The old test takes days."
In addition to the real-time assay, which could be deployed in a kit and used in the field, the Wisconsin team also developed a cell-based assay that helps provide a glimpse of the toxin doing its dirty work in living cells. This technology promises a rapid screen for millions of chemicals to see which might inhibit the paralyzing effects of the toxin, according to Min Dong, a UW-Madison postdoctoral fellow and the lead author of the PNAS report.
"The primary application is to conduct cell-based, large-scale screening for toxin inhibitors," Dong says. "A cell-based assay has the potential to reveal molecules that may inhibit various toxin action pathways."
Botulinum toxin is made by a bacterium that causes food poisoning. The poison is the most toxic substance known - 6 million times more potent than rattlesnake venom. It works by binding to nerve endings. The toxin is taken up by the nerves, where it blocks chemical signals from reaching muscles. With enough blocked nerve endings, the toxin can cause paralysis and death.
In recent years, the nerve toxin has been used therapeutically to treat nerve disorders and help calm the muscles of cerebral palsy and stroke patients. It is best known to the public by the trade name Botox, which, in minute doses, is widely used in cosmetic procedures to smooth frown lines and wrinkles.
Last year, Chapman's group identified the mechanism by which the toxin enters cells. Inside the cell, the toxin targets three key proteins, which are essential for mediating the release of chemical signals from neurons and that govern how messages are sent from brain to muscles.
"The toxins are smart," Chapman notes. "They know where to go" inside cells to do the most damage.
The newest work, says Chapman, helps give scientists an inside-the-cell view of the toxin at work. The toxin employs a four-step process - from cell entry to blocking the release of chemical messengers from nerve endings - and interfering with any of the steps in the process can inhibit the poison's toxic action.
"We can screen for [agents] to block any one of those steps," explains Chapman. "We could screen 1 million drugs at a time, and you can do all the screening using live cells."
The potential upshot of such a screening technology could be the development of drugs that act like a prophylactic to confer protection from botulinum poisoning.
The new tests, according to Chapman, can be conducted with ordinary lab equipment. They work by introducing into cells bioluminescent proteins whose glow is extinguished in the presence of the toxin. The tests are capable of detecting all seven variants of the poison.
Currently, the most sensitive and common test for toxin activity is exposing mice to an agent. The process takes time, and many animals are used and die in the process.
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation has patented the new botulinum toxin technology. In addition to Chapman and Dong, co-authors of the new PNAS paper include William H. Tepp and Eric A. Johnson, both of the UW-Madison department of food microbiology and toxicology.
