Mars Hill, N.C. - Chelsi Mallory drove home Brevard's only pair of runs Friday afternoon at Mars Hill, as the Tornados were swept by a conference opponent for the first time this year, 3-1 and 9-1.
The Tornados fall to 14-17 and 3-5 in the SAC, while the Lions improve to 21-10 and 4-6 in the conference.
Game 1: Mars Hill 3, Brevard 1
Box Score
Mars Hill put two runs up in the first and one run on the board in the third to lead the Tornados 3-0.
Starting pitcher, Martika Elmore, allowed the earned runs in six innings of work while walking five batters. Elmore falls to 11-8, but still leads the team in wins by a pitcher.
Mallory continued her hot hitting going two for three in the first game, improving her batting average to .394 and driving in the only Brevard run in the fourth inning when she doubled for the second time, driving in Kristina Clayton. Coming into today's game, Mallory was tied for the second in the conference with 13 doubles and was ranked eighth in the nation in doubles per game.
Jennifer Gift also went two for three with two singles as Brevard out-hit Mars Hill six to five in the first half of the doubleheader.
Tara West pitched a complete game for the Lions allowing five hits, and an earned run while striking out four batters for the win improving her record to 11-5.
Game 2: Mars Hill 9, Brevard 1
Box Score
Mars Hill scored in each of the five
innings, jumping on the Tornados early, with back to back three run innings in the first in second led by an Ashley Seawell three run homer off of Elmore in the first.
Elmore suffered the loss in the second game as well, allowing six earned runs off of six hits in 1.2 innings before Liz Houser relieved her and pitched the remaining three innings.
Elmore, who averaged over ten strikeouts per game, and was ranked third in the nation in strikeouts per inning prior to today's competitions, accumulated twelve Ks on the day.
Mallory knocked in Brevard's only run in the third inning, when she sacrificed Nicole Heusel home after she led off the inning with a double.
The Tornados are back in action tomorrow when they travel to Cleveland, Ga. for a doubleheader with Thomas University at Truett-McConnell College.

Charlotte, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy was arrested on two charges Tuesday.
Hardy faces misdemeanor charges of communicating threats and assault on a female, according to the Charlotte Observer.
"We are very disappointed to learn of the allegations involving Greg and are concerned for all parties as we continue to investigate," the Panthers said in a statement.
According to the paper, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to a call around 4:18 a.m. ET. A woman, who said she and Hardy had been in a relationship since September, said she had been physically assaulted and threatened by Hardy.
Hardy tied a franchise record with 15 sacks in 2013. The Panthers placed the franchise tag on him at a cost of $13.1 million this season.
The Panthers agreed recently to give Hardy as much as $1.3 million - 10 percent of his franchise tag - if he attends all of the team's voluntary offseason workouts, which are ongoing.
A sixth-round steal by the Panthers in the 2010 draft, Hardy has 33 sacks in 62 career games with Carolina.

How many fights would Colin need to win before getting another shot though?, some people saying a couple?. It's highly unlikely that 2 fights would get him back in there unless they were against really good opponents and he finished them.
Look at Curt Warburton, he has had 5 fights and 5 wins and fights Rob Sinclair next at BAMMA (if that is defo going ahead?), so that will be 6 fights since leaving the UFC. Rob Sinclair himself is knocking at the door. Then you got the likes of Etim, Sass and Winner who will be looking to get back in after being cut. Along with that there are some who have yet to sample the UFC like Stapleton (exc TUF), Ray and Newman.
In the UK and the UFC it is a very stacked division and what it tells us is that the UFC don't fancy the UK fighters as LW's very much.
I am just trying to be realistic and provide an opinion and insight into this situation

TL Prospects: Bumper crop of potential
Naturals pace league in power (Calixte) and pitching (Ventura)
By Andrew Pentis / Special to MLB.com | April 4, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Here's a ranking of the 10 prospects we're most excited to see light up the Texas League in 2013:
No. 1. Orlando Calixte (SS, Northwest Arkansas): The fourth-ranked Royals prospect, with a big year at age 21, could become one of the Minors' next best shortstops of the future. Calixte has all the physical gifts to become exactly that and has proven able to play up to his competition, which explains why Kansas City keeps pushing him up the ladder. He won't have as much support in the Naturals lineup as his Travelers counterparts, but if Calixte is ever going to make a Profar-ian emergence, this would be the time to do it.
No. 2. George Springer (CF, Corpus Christi): The third-ranked Astros prospect is may be further along developmentally than Calixte despite playing at the same level. Like his peer, Springer has every edge physically -- he plays outstanding defense and collected 24 homers and 32 steals in 2012 -- but has some rough edges to his game. Strikeouts are the biggest culprit -- he has fanned 287 times in his first 939 at-bats, or 31 percent of the time -- and that could be what keeps him from becoming an all-around star. We'll see soon enough.
No. 3. Kyle Parker (RF, Tulsa): The fourth-ranked Rockies prospect made the strikeout adjustment Springer seeks in his two seasons of pro ball. Parker, a former Clemson quarterback, righted his strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2012 (88-to-66, up from 133-to-44 in '11) while actually increasing his slugging (.562, up from .483) in 15 fewer games. Expect this strong-armed right fielder to register another 100-plus games campaign while his numbers may dip given the greater challenge posed by a small league large with pitching talent.
No. 4. C.J. Cron (1B, Arkansas): The third-ranked Angels prospect could be battling with Parker all season long for the Texas League home run crown. The 2011 first-round draftee hit 27 home runs in his first full season as a pro. Scouts are somewhat concerned by his low walk totals, but Cron can simply hit; that is his calling card. He's not an especially good defender at first base, but at 23 and in his first Double-A season, he has time to improve. Plus, he'll be sharing the Travelers infield with some great talent.
No. 5. Kaleb Cowart (3B, Arkansas): The first-ranked Angels prospect will return to the Travs, with whom he spent the latter half of last season. He will man the hot corner with Cron across the way and fourth-ranked prospect Taylor Lindsey at second base. Cowart, who was drafted one slot after and one year before Cron, has as much thunder in his bat. He has yet to prove he's as good of a natural hitter, though. The switch-hitter batted .259 in 69 games for Arkansas in 2012, but will have much more of a lineup cushion in '13.
No. 6. Yordano Ventura (SP, Northwest Arkansas): The third-ranked Royals prospect is not the sure thing among this year's group of TL hurlers, but he will be the most fun to watch. Armed with a 100-mph fastball and developing secondary offerings, Ventura is well ahead of the curve at 21. He showed his youth in six starts for the Naturals in 2012, going 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA, but will be given the opportunity to lead a staff until peaking around the 140-inning mark. We should know a lot more about the likelihood of Ventura reaching the height of his potential by August's end.
No. 7. Cody Buckel (SP, Frisco): The fourth-ranked Rangers prospect is a year (nearly to the day) younger than Ventura but significantly more polished. He probably tops out as a middle-of-the-rotation righty, but that's a pretty good commodity. Buckel, a second-round draftee in 2010 and a pupil of friend Trevor Bauer, pitched in 13 games for the RoughRiders last year, compiling a 3.78 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 69 innings. Given that experience, expect him to move onto Triple-A Round Rock by midsummer.
No. 8. Nick Maronde (LHP, Arkansas): The second-ranked Angels prospect -- and the third of three Los Angeles farmhands on this list -- may be downplayed with the news that he'll be transitioning full time to the role of reliever. Don't get us wrong, he and lefty Daniel Tillman will give the Travs one of the Minors' best bullpen combos. Now 23 and entering his third pro season, Maronde has a potent fastball-slider pairing. He won't need his developing changeup if he's closing or setting up for Tillman. In other words, once Arkansas' talent-laden lineup gets ahead on the scoreboard, the opposition will have a hard time making a late-inning comeback.
No. 9. Cory Spangenberg (2B, San Antonio): The 10th-ranked Padres prospect excelled at Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore last year, but a concussion cost him six weeks of action. The 10th overall pick in the 2011 Draft has the kind of offensive skill set that could net 30 extra-base hits as well as 30 steals. If the Missions have a bounce-back year and return to the postseason it will be because Spangenberg proved to be the kind of leader that Kolten Wong was for league-champion Springfield a year ago.
No. 10. Miles Head (3B, Midland): The ninth-ranked A's prospect represents the seventh different TL club on this list. (Only Springfield, which graduated the likes of Wong and outfielder Oscar Taveras to Triple-A Memphis, is absent.) Head, a Boston-to-Oakland acquisition two offseasons ago, dominated the Cal League in his first year with his new organization, batting (.382) -- more than 100 points higher than Spangenberg (.271). He's still fighting the home run-strikeout seesaw battle, but his 57 games stint with the RockHounds last summer should give him a head start this spring.
BONUS: Nos. 11-15: Chad Bettis (Tulsa), Adys Portillo (San Antonio), Taylor Lindsey (Arkansas), Nick Tropeano (Corpus Christi) and Travis Witherspoon (Arkansas).

Finding Clevelanders who vanished
(Cuyahoga County) - Cleveland Police, the FBI, and the RTA Police Department teamed up for a "Night Out for the Missing".
Officers and agents staffed two mobile command vehicles. One on the east side of town and one on the west, and used each post as a meeting point for citizens to come and provide any and all information they feel may be pertinent to missing persons investigations.
Volunteers were also on hand to assist law enforcement. Dan Hanson and Wanda Ford tell Newsradio WTAM 1100 that the event was aimed at strengthen the partnership between law enforcement and the community.
Wanda Ford
Both work with Bellefaire JCB the street outreach program, which provides services and activities for young people.
Police command vehicles were present at Seymore Avenue and Scranton Road on Cleveland's west side, and East 93rd and Heath Avenue on the east side, from 4pm until 8pm Thursday.
"Night Out for the Missing" was prompted by the rescue of three young women who had been missing for about ten years, but were found alive on the near west side, after being held captive for about a decade.

Hello everyone! (:
I hope someone maybe able to help me with a CSS question!
I'm currently trying to create a website layout in CSS. I'm struggling to understand relative and absolute positioning and a couple of other things.
This is a draft of my website: http://www.unitedkerrydom.co.uk/index2.html
As you can see, I have the margins set to auto so it floats in the centre of the browser. I would like to have DIVs contained within my wrapper DIV that float relative to wrapper (not the browser window). When I set the wrapper DIV positioning to relative and the DIV I want floating relative to it with the 'absolute' positioning in place, the page breaks, and the content DIV won't extend, when I need it to for the content (which will vary in length). Why is this?
Also, I have to float the content DIV left or the page breaks. I don't understand why this is, or why float left works?
I've changed the design and what I want to do, is have various DIVs floating in absolute positions within the wrapper DIV. Does anyone know how I can do this?
All help appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Right now the parent doesn't recognize it has floated children...floated elements are taken out of the flow of the document. Overflow:hidden added to the parent makes it contain them and make the parent recognize it.
Relative positioning basically creates a pseudo box of the element you use it on, all the colors and what not move onto the new pseudo box, and when you use top:10px or whatever, you are moving the colored box and not the physical actual thing. It also creates a stacking context and a reference point for any other positioned elements.
I can't go and check out your actual code but that should be of some help :).
Absolute positioning takes elements out of the flow completely. Unless it has a closer parent to reference the offset coordinates, it will take the coordinates you set (top:0) and reference it from the window. If a parent hsa position:relative, it will reference the coordinates from there.
In short, you can't float+absolute position. AP wins out because what it does to elements is stronger, per say, than what floating does. IDK really why AP wins out but I believe it's because of what it does to the element.
Thank you for your reply Ryan.
In that case, what is a floated DIVs position relative to? The browser window, or a parent DIV, or? If I can figure that out, if it's possible, then I can position the DIVs where I need them to be relative to my container/wrapper and not the browser window...This all wouldn't be a problem, if I wasn't setting auto margin so the wrapper to float in the centre of the browser, but that's how I'd like the design to be.
A floated element is relative to the parent element. The child knows the parent is there and thus bases where it goes on that. Floated (left) elements go up as far up and as left as is allowed. If you set a parent to margin:0 auto; and a width, it will float in the center of the screen. Now, when you float a child INSIDE that, (note, no position:absolutes are allowed here because it will negate the floating (you canuse it if the parent has position:relative and no floating property on it)) the float will be in the center of the screen as well, however, it will float to the top left portion (assuming float:left) of the wrapper element.
Does this all make sense?
Yes, I think so. Sorry, I am a bit of a noob, as you can tell.
Right so, I presume I then can't say child to float: left; with margin positioning attributes like margin: 200px. As in the child will float left from the parent div and 200px from that left float?
Sorry if that doesn't make sense. Like I say, noob! Trying to learn.
You can add margins to floats just like other elements and the float will move by the amount of margin that you apply. If you say float:left;margin-left:200px then the float will be 200px from the left edge of its containing:block (step 2 here). The containing block will be the content edge of the nearest block level ancestor. In simple terms the float is bound by its block level parent (although the parent won't know about the float unless it is contained (by a clearing technique)).
So to answer your question you can float elements within a div to the left and right as required assuming that there is room and that you have widths on the floats or they will eventually stretch to 100% wide if they contain fluid content like text.
Don't mix absolute positioning into the mix as absolute elements are removed from the flow and should not be used for structural columns as such. Absolute elements are better suited to placing elements within a confined context where the flow of the page is already controlled by other means (e.g where an element already has a height and you want to place something absolutely in the corner).
From the original post:
DONT think of floats as relatively absolutely positioned. STOP IT. STOP IT NOW. OK.
While floated elements become BLOCKS and get TAKEN OUT OF THE NORMAL FLOW. It doesn't mean you have applied positioning.. and it's easier to understand if you tackle each concept separately.
Floating behaviour can get complex, but for a crash course.. floating will do just what it says, by default. So float:left; will take the element out of the regular flow and pace it to left LEFTMOST AVAILABLE EDGE of it's PARENT ELEMENT. Vertically a float cannot appear ABOVE any element that came before it in the the HTML source. A floated element must be given WIDTH: or it will SHRINK WRAP to the width of its contents.
so how do we interpret the above? here are some examples:
If you have a container with all floated elements, the container's bg will seem to disappear ( collapse). This is what it's meant by "out of the flow' the container element doesn't KNOW the float is there so it assumes it's empty. There are many ways to prevent this, but by far the cleanest and most favoured (for MOST instances) is adding overflow:hidden; to the container. But another is to add or create a clearing element. BASICALLY: container:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }
Once you have floated an element you can still position it using MARGINS AND/OR RELATIVE POSITIONING ( absolute positioning would be redundant on a float but you CAN do it too, it's just NOT something you SHOULD do)
Example: {position:relative; top:-200px;} and {margin-top:-200px} do essentially the same thing.
it's important to not how relative position works. RP moves the DISPLAYED object margin ... ugh... well margin adjusts the margin.. which for all intents moves the actual object. since you have floated the element this difference is kinda minimized in most cases , but i find it useful to keep in mind that if you adjust a margin what ever is in the flow of that element ( let say other floated:left elements, for example will adjust too. But with RP you move the display but the SPACE the element took up is still there ( a "visible" gap ).
You can creat all sort of things depending how you manipulate these behaviours.
And that's the crash course!!!
Dresden, I disagree that margin and coordinates are basically the same. Margins (wheether on RP or normal object) move the elemnt around, and besides AP elements, all the other elements will shift around because they know the margin has been set. Refer back to my post above as to what coordinates do. They aren't the same (not even "basically" :))
Great information Paul, Phoenix and Ryan. Thank you.
I think I essentially understand, although I'm still trying to get my head around the finer points of containing blocks.
Further to what has been mentioned, I was wondering whether then, several different divs can be used within a containing block with the a float applied to them. I.g, say I have 5 divs within my wrapper div, all with left floats applied with different margins added to each (say, side by side etc, but never on top of each other). Would this work? Also, is it good practice to use a mixture of float right AND left, if for example, one div is closer to the left than right? If that makes sense...
If no, what would be the best way to achieve this effect?
Yes you can float multiple elements side by side as long as there is room and as long as they have widths that allow them to fit.
You can float to the right if you want the element over to the right rather than margined from the left. In a three column layout I usually float the first two columns to the left and then float the last column to the right. This has the benefit of providing a gutter between the last column and the middle column without needing an explicit margin. I do this because IE6 would always stretch an element if its content was wider than the width defined and if you account for every pixel across the width then a 1px discrepancy would cause the float to drop. Floating the last element to the right avoids this.
Remember though that if floats don't have room then they will drop down and try to find space and that often means that the float will snag oneny element that protrudes and won't necessarily start a new row.
Right, I see.
Just thought of something...My content div is floating above the header, footer and wrapper div (unless I'm misunderstanding), yet it is still able to effect the wrapper div - as in, the wrapper div extends if it needs to because the content within the content div is long. I don't understand how it's doing that. If the content div is floated, surely it shouldn't be able to effect the wrapper div (even though I want it too)?
Sorry for the silly questions, I really am trying to understand though.
I'd need to see your exact code to see what's going on but here's a quick explanation of how things should behave.
If a wrapper element (which does not create a new block formatting context (floats, inline-blocks, absolute elements and overflow other than visible all create new block formatting contexts)) contains only floated children then the height of that wrapper element will be zero.
To make the wrapper stretch around the floats it needs to be an element that creates a block formatting context as mentioned above or needs a static element to follow the floats and to be cleared (clear:both) before the closing div of the wrapper. This will drag the parent around the whole lot. The clearfix method (google it) does this by adding pseudo content to the end of the parent and clearing it to regain the flow of the document once again. The other popular method is to add overflow:hidden to the parent which as mentioned above creates a new block formatting context and will contain its children. If you need visible overflow then you can't use overflow:hidden and would use one of the other methods.
Thank you for your explanation.
I think in that case...my content div (floated) is followed by my footer div, which is cleared. Which is then the closing div for the wrapper. I presume this is why it has worked.
For reference, here is a rough draft of my CSS and HTML. Live test website is http://www.unitedkerrydom.com/index2.html

Kanye West rails against YouTube
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Kanye West is taking aim at YouTube. During an impromptu listening session for his upcoming album "Yeezus" at the Art Basel international art show in Switzerland this week, the rapper told a crowd that he dislikes YouTube because "the player is so ugly."
He added that it's "presented in such a terrible manner." Because YouTube exhibits "sonic art," Yeezy believes the website should be more visually pleasing. Keeping with the art theme, Kanye also compared sampling music in hip-hop to the methods of pop art pioneer Andy Warhol. He says producers use previously made songs in the same way that Warhol appropriated the image of Campbell's Soup cans for some of his most well known works.
Kanye West's Yeezus hits stores next Tuesday. Executive produced by Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin, the album will feature appearances from Chief Keef, Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon.

I hope this is an appropriate post for this forum. I am starting a business and am looking for a potter with experience placing decals on pre-made pottery and then firing them. To cut down on costs on shipping, I'd love this potter to be in Chicago. I'm not positive as I am still in early stages of development, but might have a couple hundred pieces to be made. Time-frame to complete the task would be liberal--several weeks of notice.

Jared Leto wins Critics Choice Award, earns first Oscar nod
Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars on iHeartRadio
Jared Leto's award tour is still going strong. The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman and "Dallas Buyers Club" star picked up a Critics Choice Award Thursday night, and dedicated the win to everyone living with HIV.
Leto's turn as an AIDS positive transgender woman in "Dallas Buyers Club" also earned a win at the Golden Globes last weekend. He took a moment to thank some of the people he forgot last time, including co-star Matthew McConaughey.
Leto couldn't help but use McConaughey's "alright, alright, alright" catchphrase, but he also thanked the film's leading man for bringing him out of retirement and giving him a chance. "Dallas Buyers Club" marked Leto's first acting role in six years.
Leto will have a few more chances to add some additional hardware to his collection this year.

Hi guys,
I've been using SET in order to preform an email attack with a spoofed originator.
What option do you want to use?
1. Use a GMAIL Account for your email attack.
2. Use your own server or open relay
Enter your choice: 2
Enter the email address you want to come from (ex: firstname.lastname@example.com): email@example.com
(535, '5.7.0 authentication failed')
SET has finished deliverying the emails.
To cut a long story short, I got a mail of my email provider saying my email was rejected. They also added a list of possible causes:
1. Use of a dynamic IP address for E-Mail dispatch:
WEB.DE does not accept any E-Mail on its incoming mail servers originating from dynamic IP addresses. Instead, use your provider's designated SMTP Server.
2. Use of an IP address without a reverse DNS entry for E-Mail dispatch:
WEB.DE does not accept any E-Mail on its incoming mail servers originating from IP numbers without a resolvable DNS entry. Update your DNS zone files and afterwards contact us to re-evaluate your IP number(s).
3. HELO with spam pattern
A complete and plausible HELO/EHLO as described in RFC 2821 must be sent.
4. Operation of an open relay:
Your server has been identified to be an open relay. To avoid further spreading of Spam E-Mail routed through your server, we will not accept any mail originating from your server. Please fix all security flaws within your system before contacting us to re-evaluate your IP number(s).
5. Automatic identification of a server as a Spam mail server:
According to our frequency measurement, your server has been identified as a Spam mail server. This might point to a virus contamination concerning your system or the clients using the system for dispatch. This automatic evaluation might be erroneous due to large amounts of E-Mails being sent out (e.g. dispatch of newsletters etc.) by your server? please investigate within your system to that effect. Generally this rejection persists only for a temporary amount of time; however, if problems concerning E-Mail dispatch consist, please contact us for further investigation.
6. Manual identification of a server as a Spam mail server:
You server has been manually evaluated by our Anti-Spam Team and has been identified to be a Spam mail server. This rejection is permanent and will not be revoked.
I think point 1,2 and/or 4 could be the cause.
Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Configuring sendmail to use my domain name (implying I already got one) instead of my dynamic ip would fix point 1, wouldn't it?

This is fantastic
By Captain Mike
from Atlanta, GA
So much is available to kids now. But so much of it is for easy, instant gratification. This kit requires (and develops) a calm and methodical approach. It introduces the concept of machines in an exciting yet educational way. My 10 year old (who spends most of his time with video games) was impatient to tear into the most impressive looking model. After 15 minutes he grew frustrated that things did not quite work. Then he and I went back, deconstructing, until we found where he had put a part upside down. We then proceeded with more care until the machine was finished. My son was delighted with the outcome and the knowledge that the result was down to his careful work. I was delighted that a lesson had been learned about taking care and being methodical.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

SEAL BEACH - Transit officials Monday vowed to revise the plans to widen the San Diego (405) Freeway, but city officials want more details on the new proposal.
The move to make "refinements" to the Orange County Transportation Authority and Caltrans' freeway plans is "in response to the public's feedback," according to OCTA spokesperson Christina Byrne.
The widening project will impact most coastal communities between Seal Beach and Costa Mesa.
However, according to Byrne, the revised plan could "potentially avoid ... the (freeway sound) wall relocation on Almond Avenue in the College Park East neighborhood of Seal Beach through design variations."
Since the OCTA disclosed its plans, many Seal Beach residents have aggressively opposed them, contending that the expansion options will do more harm than good.
The project would stop at the border of Los Angeles and Orange counties - with traffic on the expanded, improved freeway then squeezing into fewer lanes on the 405 and San Gabriel River (605) freeways.
The draft EIR examines three alternatives for the expansion.
Alternative 1 adds one lane to the 405 in each direction, from Euclid Street to the 605. This option would increase traffic flow to handle up to 7,200 vehicles per hour.
The second proposal adds two lanes in each direction, from Euclid to the 605, plus one more northbound lane from Brookhurst Street to the Garden Grove (22) Freeway. This option would increase traffic flow to 8,400 vehicles per hour.
The third proposal adds one lane, from Euclid to the 605, with one tolled express lane linked to an existing car-pool lane. This would include a possible discount or fee waiver for vehicles with three or more passengers, planners say.
In response to public feedback, transit planners on Monday added the following possible refinements to the project:
Truncating the express lanes under Alternative 3 north of Fairview Avenue in Costa Mesa to avoid reconstruction of the Fairview Bridge;
Reconfiguring the Magnolia Avenue and Warner Avenue interchange to avoid the need to acquire up to four businesses in Fountain Valley;
Reducing impacts to parking in Westminster by altering the project design.
OCTA will also review the existing data and perform additional traffic analysis in response to issues involving lane configurations at the Orange and Los Angeles county border, Byrne added.
OCTA planners are expected to select the preferred alternative on Sept. 24, according to the spokeswoman, adding that Caltrans planners will select the preferred alternative in the fall.
Seal Beach residents, especially those in the College Park East area, have been united in their opposition to the OCTA plans, according to Councilman Gary Miller.
On Monday, the councilman said he wanted more details about the revisions before commenting.
Under the original plans, Miller said there are concerns about whether the expansion will encroach on residential streets as a new soundwall is erected.
"We don't want the soundwall moved into College Park East," said Miller, who represents the area.
The 405 was built in the 1960s and is the most-traveled urban highway in the nation, with about 374,000 vehicles per day, according to the Federal Highway Administration.
OCTA planners predict traffic between Seal Beach and Costa Mesa will jump as much as 40 percent by 2040. If the 405 isn't expanded, that section of the freeway would max out at about 6,000 vehicles per hour.
Without an expansion, travel time between the Corona Del Mar (73) Freeway and the 605 will average 133 minutes in 2040, planners say. The first alternative would cut that to below an hour, while the other two options would cut travel time along the route to less than half an hour.

1) Because this is bigger, in sports today, than anything else that's happening, including the All-Star game: Rest in Peace, George Steinbrenner III.
2) Back to hockey and the Rangers and the blog: I am always amazed, when we do something like the guest blogging, how many readers we have who don't comment. I've gotten tons of responses from Boneheads who want to do guest blogs who say they never or rarely comment.
3) I forgot to tell youse last week, a friend called and invited me to play golf at Centennial in Carmel. He was playing with Colton Orr, who lives in the area in the off-season. Unfortunately I couldn't make it … unfortunately not only because, you know, kinda like golf, but because I could only imagine the stories I might get from the former Rangers enforcer who should still be here.
4) Can we kind of try to keep it a little more civil around here? I don't mind a good argument, but do we really need the name-calling? And is there anything more asinine than the threatening physical stuff? Geez, are you suffering from blog muscles, or what?

Nice one! Keep it up! Really nice work on the gui there.
Hi there everyone. I havent been here for a while
Ok, some time ago i have posted here gui for nikto by me,
so here is next version. It is written in perl gtk2.
screenshot ->
It has two ways of producing output: into its gui, or, in console / terminal,
from which was launched. There is a checkbox "Console output", if you
check it, output window will dissapear and all output goes to the console.
I've made it like this, because during scan application freezes if output goes
to gui. In perl gtk2 i dont know a way to avoid such issue, nor threads or fork help. Ok, so, maybe someone will find it kind of useful
download ->TAR
cheers, cross / bluster
Nice one! Keep it up! Really nice work on the gui there.
Uhm i guess i should say it's nice, but uhm... http://www.sensepost.com/research/wikto/ ?
And... http://sourceforge.net/projects/niktofe/ It's nice to see your own work but it has already been done unfortunately.
[quote][I]I realized, that I had fallen down from the top of the mountain into a deep, terrifying and dark hole, just to find out that another mountain in front of me, much greater than the previous, was the next step in life. I began to wander uphill on the next mountain of life while I knew it would be much harder than the previous mountain. [/I]- MaXe[/quote]

Did Jack White & Neil Young record covers album together?
Listen to Jack White on iHeartRadio | Listen to Neil Young on iHeartRadio
It looks like Jack White and Neil Young have been cooking up something special. Music journalist Michael Goldberg says in his "Days of the Crazy-Wild" blog that the two rockers have reportedly recorded an entire album of cover songs together.
Rumors about the project first started cropping up last month, offering a possible explanation for Young's trip to White's Third Man Records headquarters in Nashville last spring. But so far there has been no word on when the album may see the light of day, and Young's camp isn't offering any comment on the possible collaboration.
White isn't confirming anything either, although he did say he plans to finish a pair of albums this month and that one of them is his.

1934 is the hottest year on record
What the science says...
|Select a level...
Globally, 1934 is the 49th hottest year on record.
Climate Myth...
1934 - hottest year on record
Steve McIntyre noticed a strange discontinuity in US temperature data, occurring around January 2000. McIntyre notified NASA which acknowledged the problem as an 'oversight' that would be fixed in the next data refresh. As a result, "The warmest year on US record is now 1934. 1998 (long trumpeted by the media as record-breaking) moves to second place." (Daily Tech).
The year 1934 was a very hot year in the United States, ranking fourth behind 2012, 2006, and 1998. However, global warming takes into account temperatures over the entire planet. The U.S.'s land area accounts for only 2% of the earth's total surface area. Despite the U.S. heat in 1934, the year was not so hot over the rest of the planet, and is barely holding onto a place in the hottest 50 years in the global rankings (today it ranks 49th).
Climate change skeptics like to point to 1934 in the U.S. as proof that recent hot years are not unusual. However, this is another example of "cherry-picking" a single fact that supports a claim, while ignoring the rest of the data. Globally, the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1998, with 2005 and 2010 as the hottest.
The fact that there were hot years in some parts of the world in the past is not an argument against climate change. There will always be regional temperature variations as well as variations from year to year. These happened in the past, and they will continue. The problem with climate change is that on average, when looking at the entire world, the long term trend shows an unmistakable increase in global surface temperatures, in a way that is likely to dramatically alter the planet.

with Lenovo ThinkPad X121e you can choose between AMD Fusion C-50 / 1 GHz, Dual-Core or Intel Core i3 2357M / 1.3 GHz ( Dual-Core ).
The model with the AMD cpu is cheeper, as AMDs often are. I read some place that that the Intel based model will perform better in CPU tasks
but the AMD model will be better when it comes to tasks that need GPU power. I guess one needs better CPU performance than GPU
performance when using backTrack 5?!
They both has 4GB RAM with a limitation up to 8 GB. And support 64-bits OS.
In my country, the AMD version costs 425$, while the intel version costs 801$.
So I wonder if what model I should choose to get the best out of BackTrack 5?
Should I go for the obvious intel version or is the AMD version sufficient?

When is my fertile day?
I am 43 years old trying to conceive for a 3rd child. I have 28 days cycle. When is the best time to get pregnant? Are there things that i need to do after sex in order for me to get pregnant right away? Is standing up to pee after sex can give me lesser chance to conceive? Thank you.
17th May 2014 05:21 AM #2
Dear pinkette,
Thank you for your question.
Please read this detailed post about the signs of fertility. Most women ovulate 14 days before their next cycle begins i.e. on day 14 for you. Sperm can survive for around 3 days and the egg for around 24 hours after ovulation so your fertile period is likely to be from days 11-15. I would recommend having sex on each of these days.
Have you also tried using an ovulation predictor kit?
Did you know you can look out for natural signs of your fertile period? This is explained in the link above. In particular:
'The day before and the day of ovulation, your cervical mucus will be clear and wet and it will have the consistency of egg white. You will be able to pick it up and stretch it between your thumb and fore finger and it may not break even if you stretch it 6 inches. This is when you are at your peak of fertility and sex at this time gives you the best chance of conception.'
After sex, try staying laying down for around 10 minutes and relax as much as you can. Some women find that raising their bottom slightly with a pillow under it has helped.
I would recommend starting some preconception care now. As you know, it is unfortunately more difficult to conceive when you are aged 35 years and older and again more difficult when you are 40 or over. However, it is possible for some women so please keep hope.
With warm wishes,

Hi ljmarsden,
Thank you! such an inspiring word from you that i learned so much to all the things you wrote and gave me hope that i still have a chance to conceive. I will follow all what you said and never stop trying.

You are most welcome pinkette.
Wishing you all the very best and please do post back with any further questions you may have.

When Kevin Macomber grew frustrated with the duplicated genealogy research he found on the Internet, he decided to do something about it: Why not use the Internet to pool family data? His Macomber Project <www.macomberproject.com> has evolved into a Web site with more than 160 active researchers. The site boasts databases of military records, photos and close to 2,000 family burial sites. As new researchers come on board, Macomber identifies which branch of the family they belong to, then connects them with their own mini-research group.
You too can use the Internet to divide research tasks, share findings, upload documents and post family photos. Your shared family history Web site may not gather researchers by the hundreds (well, at least not right away!), but it can definitely bolster your research. Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at what's involved in a successful collaborative site.

Three thousand planet-bound years have passed while Ender the star-traveller remains young. In that time his name has become anathema, for he is the one who killed an entire race of thinking, feeling beings. No other has been found - until Lusitania is discovered. The young race there offers mankind a chance to redeem the previous destruction. The only humans allowed near are trained xenobiologists. But once again there are tragic misunderstandings. And when Ender, as Andrew Wiggin, is called to Lusitania to speak for the dead - to present to the community the terrible truth of why men have been killed by aliens - his actions can, and will, reverberate through an entire galactic empire.

Is this 25,000 currently registered members? Or there have been 25,000 registrations, but you guys banned 2,000 dumb asses?
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
An average of two posts per person, hmm...
Two most popular posts.
1. How do I crack my neighbors wifi? Edit: (variations thereof)
2. Double post
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]hehe...
It's also worth noting that this particular reincarnation of the forums was started from scratch only 2 or 3 years ago, iirc.
The numbers aren't just representative of simple forum membership figures, whether participant or not, but more so the number of BackTrack users that have bothered to check out and join the forums. The fact that many members do not participate doesn't detract from the evident popularity of BackTrack, bearing in mind that no-one has to join in order to access the forums.
I would take as much, perhaps more interest in the climbing number of average posts per day, or active member numbers, which have both climbed steadily since this new forum began, and not only around major version release dates (BT2/BT3b)
Some may knock it, but I am pleased and proud that the general atmosphere is mainly that of enthusiastic participation.

The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM: a wide angle for full framesThursday May 03 2012
Even though it appeared in Canon's lineup in 1995, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 is one of the most recent wide-angle prime lenses for full-frame cameras. Built around 10 elements in 9 groups with one aspherical element, this lens feels pretty solid in hand. Its ultrasonic motor (USM) makes it very silent and quick to focus. In terms of image quality, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 provides a really good value for money.
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM
The strong points of the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM:
- Good sharpness in the center (but falls off rapidly at the edges).
- A bright lens.
- Reasonable distortion (slight mustache).
- Vignetting acceptable for this kind of lens.
The debatable points of the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM:
- Visible chromatic aberrations.
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM vs Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon mounted on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
The advantages of the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM:
- Slightly brighter (around 0.13EV) than the Zeiss lens.
- Better-controlled distortion.
- Less light fall-off in the corners.
- The lightest and most compact lens.
- USM autofocus.
The advantages of the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon:
- Better sharpness.
- Better correction of chromatic aberrations.
- Superior mechanical construction.
- Circular aperture.
If you own an APS-C camera, the Sigma 30mm 1.4 should be considered too. Here is the comparison :
Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM vs Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM Canon on Canon EOS 7D
- At wider aperture (f/1.8 for Canon, f/1.4 for Sigma), the Canon 28mm is significantly sharper
- Above f/5.6, resolution results are pretty close.
- Vignetting is better controlled by the Canon lens
- Chromatic aberration is slightly better controlled on the Sigma lens.
In summary, on a full frame, the Canon EF 28mm 1.8 ZE is a nicely bright wide angle lens. And on an APS-C, it is a good and affordable versatile lens, with its focal length equivalent to 45mm. For example, for approximately the same price (470 $ for the Canon 28mm and 440 for the Sigma 30mm), the Canon 28mm f/1.8 is slightly better than the Sigma 30mm F1.4

Kenny Rogers heading to Country Hall of Fame
Listen to Kenny Rogers on iHeartRadio
It's been a long time coming but Kenny Rogers is finally Hall of Fame-bound. The veteran country star has been tapped for induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum along with Bobby Bare and "Cowboy Jack Clement."
The three were selected for induction by voting members of the Country Music Association. They'll join 118 other Hall of Fame members during the official induction ceremony at the museum in October.
Rogers, known for hits like "The Gambler," "Lucille," and "Islands In The Stream" with Dolly Parton, will be inducted in the Hall's "Modern Era" category.
Upon learning of his induction, the 74-year-old singer-songwriter said everything paled in comparison to the honor, given that it's happening during his lifetime. He said his sons already thought he had been inducted then added, "Maybe now I can really impress them."
Crossing over on the country and pop charts, Rogers has charted hits in almost every decade of his 55-year career and shows no signs of slowing down. He's scheduled to play at the Glastonbury Music Festival in England in June.

Lloyd Millard Bentsen, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, U.S. Senator and Representative, businessman, Texas county judge, and decorated World War Two veteran, was born in Mission, Texas, on February 11, 1921. He ran for Vice-President of the United States in 1988 on the Democratic ticket with then Massachusettes governor Michael Dukakis. He served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1994. Bentsen kept up a full schedule until 1998, when he retired after a decline in his health. He died on May 23, 2006.
Correspondence, printed material, creative works, legal documents, financial documents, minutes, photographic materials, sound recordings, and works of art make up the papers of Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr. (1930-1994, bulk 1971-1993). Bentsen and his staff created the bulk of the material during his term as United States Senator from Texas (1971-1993), though the papers also contain records from Bentsen's term as United States Secretary of the Treasury (1993-1994). A limited amount of the material documents Bentsen's career in business and his private life. Few records exist from his term in the United States House of Representatives (1948-1955).
The material is organized in ten subgroups. The first seven subgroups consist of records from Bentsen's Senate offices.
Casework and personnel files are restricted for 75 years after creation, up to the year 2068.
Use of some audio and video materials is by appointment only; please contact sound archivist.
Use of digital material by appointment only; please contact digital archivist.
A portion of these papers is stored remotely. Advance notice required for retrieval. Contact repository for retrieval.
Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr., Papers, 1921-1998, Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin
Click on a subgroup link below to view the detailed inventory for that subgroup.
Senator Bentsen's Legislative staff researched, developed, and followed legislation. The staff's expertise and work reflected Bentsen's committee assignments. Among the committees he served on during his Senate career were Commerce, Science, and Transportation; Defense; Environment and Public Works; Finance; Intelligence; Joint Committee on Finance; Joint Committee on Taxation.
Bentsen's Legislative Director (LD) was the head of the section staff. The LD worked directly with the Senator and coordinated the legislative staff's work to meet Bentsen's needs for legislation, outgoing correspondence, and information. The staff consisted of Legislative Assistants (LAs) and Research Assistants (RAs). LAs developed new bills for possible introduction by the Senator and kept him informed about the progress of existing legislation. Typically, each LA was responsible for several areas of legislation. LDs provided LAs with reference materials and occasionally researched and developed legislation themselves. Research Assistants (RAs) worked with LAs, researching and drafting letters to constituents about current issues. A Chief Research Assistant oversaw the RAs.
Senator Bentsen's career as a lawmaker is most fully represented by his Legislative Section files, which document the bills he sponsored, his voting and attendance records, the information gathered by his staff to assist him in making decisions and drafting legislation, and the plans and strategies that shaped his actions. Correspondence, printed material, notes, and legal documents comprise the bulk of the files.
The Legislative files subgroup is divided into two series: Central Files, 1971-1993, and Legislative Staff Files, 1945-1993. Secretarial staff filed and maintained the central legislative files. Legislative Staff Files were maintained by individual staff members themselves.
The subgroup includes Bentsen's voting record as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 1949-1955, but otherwise does not document his career as a Representative.
The Legislative Staff Files include a variety of printed material and correspondence created or assembled by Legislative Directors (LDs), Legislative Assistants (LAs), and Research Assistants (RAs). Each individual maintained his or her own files. The inventory is arranged by staff members' names.
Of particular note are the files of the LDs, who worked directly with Bentsen and coordinated and monitored the work of the LA staff. On the following inventory, LDs Van McMurtry (1986-1989), Blaine Bull (1989-1991), and Philip Diehl (1991-1993) provide particularly full sets of legislative staff memoranda. Files created by LDs Mike Pate (1979-1986) and David Morgan (1979-1980) primarily reflect their work on energy legislation. Some of Pate's LD files are in the Miscellaneous Subject and Correspondence Files section of the Central files. Mike Naeve served as LD (1978-1980) but his files reflect his work on transportation issues. Earlier LDs have not been identified. For further LD correspondence, see individual LA files and the Legislative Correspondence Files of the Legislative Central Files.
The LA files contain memos to the Senator; correspondence from government officials, fellow members of Congress, constituents, and lobbyists; notes made by staff members; draft and completed versions of legislation; news clippings, articles, and reports; floor and committee statements; and other material. The LA files contain the information and opinions staff presented to Bentsen, which helped to shape his thinking and stances on various issues. The RA files resemble LA files but generally contain more printed material, consistent with their use for reference.
The series includes a small number of Office Administration files created by secretary Doris Larson (1976-1978, 1980). The Central Files Series includes appointment schedules for legislative staff, January-April, 1977.
See list following inventory for names, titles, and areas of responsibility for legislative staff. Since staff collaborated and occasionally took over files created by their predecessors, some of files on the inventory are listed under multiple creators. Most of the names on the inventory are LAs. A separate group of RA files, not listed by their creators, is at the end.

Crack is whack..

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Traverse those folders to find what you're looking for.
Also you can make your own directory just about anywhere as long as you point your program to that location.
We need to know what program you're using in order to help in inserting your list. But you should really try your best to learn the proper syntax on your own. Almost all cli programs can issue a help command and will show you your options. If it's a gui program you should look for the documentation or even tutorials because some even show video or screenshots that can explain what you're trying to do.

Gwyneth Paltrow disses the Met Gala
(Yahoo!) - Don't expect Gwyneth Paltrow to land on the cover of Vogue anytime soon.
The "Iron Man 3" actress took aim at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, labeling the star-studded night "un-fun" and vowing that she won't return to the party next year.
"I'm never going again," Paltrow told USA Today. "It was so un-fun. It was boiling. It was too crowded. I did not enjoy it at all."
The 40-year-old, who wore a pink vintage Valentino gown, didn't even bother to dress up for the "Punk: Chaos to Couture," theme, telling Vogue's live stream of the red carpet, " I guess it's punk in that I've gone just totally classic on a punk night."
When you're the "World's Most Beautiful Woman," dissing Anna Wintour and her fabled Met Gala must be totally normal. But for the rest of Hollywood, it's fashion and social suicide.
The Oscar winner's harsh comments actually come as a surprise, since her bestie Beyoncé was one of the co-chairs of the fancy fete. Oh well, we guess every party has a pooper.

A Lesson In Equality From Adam and Eve
"So let's learn about Shavuot," my teacher said, and I dutifully began to take notes on the holiday. "Shavuot [which began Tuesday night] commemorates God giving the Torah to the Jews. When God was telling Moses to instruct the Jews how to prepare for Matan Torah [Giving of the Torah], God said to Moses, 'So shall you say to Beit Yaakov [House of Jacob] and Bnei Yisrael [Children of Israel].' Rashi says that Beit Yaakov refers to the women, while Bnei Yisrael refers to the men. Okay, great explanation. But why does it say the women first?
"A woman's father has a fruit field, and it becomes part of her dowry. She gets married and her husband is out on the field, picking fruit. A guy passes …

Topic: VEGF Trap
I am about to consent to having this new drug administered. It is experimental and works in conjunction with FOLFOX4. FOLFOX4 consists of oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouacil/leucovorin.
The VEGF stands for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor which causes tumor growth by causing the growth of new blood vessels from normal tissues into tumors. This treatment is designed to cut off the blood supply to these tumors thus their growth.
Surgery is not an option for me. I have a soft ball sized tumor in my liver, a golf ball sized tumor next to my pancreas and multiple tumors on my lungs. The source of all this is the cholangiocarcinoma in my biliary duct.
I am trying to find anyone who has any experience or information.

5 Stocks at Risk of Falling off the Fiscal Cliff - views
NEW YORK (Stockpickr) -- The U.S. Presidential election is now less than two months away. And with almost everyone in Washington squarely focused on that event, little new legislation will be passed.
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Washington has achieved little in recent years, and it may be unwise to expect our nation's legislators to wake up and take action at the very last minute. Many politicians appear more inclined to score points against rivals than actually figure out ways to hammer out bipartisan agreements. So we may just head over that cliff anyway.
If so, many companies are very vulnerable. The U.S. government buys a wide range of goods and services every year, and massive automatic cuts would mean that virtually every government contract would need to be re-written.
>>5 Dividend Stocks Ready to Boost Payouts
Here are five companies that can ill afford to see the fiscal cliff put into action.
Though many defense stocks count on the U.S government for a big part of their revenue, few are as vulnerable as General Dynamics (GD), which has been slow to pursue international sales to offset possible U.S. defense cuts. >>5 Stocks to Buy to Be Like Buffett
Not only that, but GD has made a big push into information technology, taking on many systems and projects that the U.S. government has outsourced in the past decade. As the government tightens its belt in the years ahead, outsourcing is expected to be replaced by "insourcing" as contracts are cut.
Goldman Sachs noted in a July 2012 report that "GD has the largest exposure to Government IT & Services and to the US Army of any of the large-cap Defense primes, two end markets which we expect to be the most challenged within the Defense sector for several years." Goldman sees shares falling from a recent $66 to $56.
GD shows up in Warren Buffett's portfolio as of the most recently reported period. Computer Sciences
Fully one-third of technology services company Computer Sciences' (CSC) $16 billion revenue base is tied to government contracts. In fact, almost every government agency uses CSC in some capacity, from the Navy to the IRS to motor vehicle departments. You can already see government budget pressures impacting this company. Fiscal first-quarter sales (ended June) rose just 1% from a year ago, the lowest growth rate in recent memory. In fact, revenues tied to commercial customers rose roughly 7%, offset by a 7% shrinkage in government work.
>>8 Tech Stocks Leading the Market
The fiscal cliff only exacerbates the pressure. Even if the lawmakers strike some sort of last-minute agreement to avert such a drastic move, they will still likely take a hatchet to any non-essential government spending, so projects such as IT modernization programs -- CSC's bread and butter -- are likely to be deferred or outright eliminated.
As of now, EPS for CSC is expected to drop from $3.24 in fiscal (March) 2012 to around $2.20 a share in the current fiscal year. Yet analysts see EPS rebounding back up towards the $3 mark in fiscal 2014, though that will be virtually impossible to achieve if the government's IT budget shrinks further, as many suspect.
Life Technologies
The U.S. government has long prided itself as a global leader in basic science research. From the National Science Foundation to the National Institutes of Health, billions have been spent on the sciences, often using this company's lab equipment.
Well, under the fiscal cliff scenario, spending on basic science and research would take a quick double-digit haircut, affecting such companies as Life Technologies (LIFE) as well as science lab equipment providers Sigma-Aldrich (SIAL) and Thermo-Fisher Scientific (TMO).

Defense contractor Raytheon (RTN) clearly saw U.S. spending pressures coming and has been pushing to beef up its international business. The trouble is that governments elsewhere are also feeling pinched. That helps explain why Raytheon posted a book-to-bill of just 0.94 in the June quarter (which is a measure of new orders compared to revenues, and any number below 1.0 means backlog is shrinking). Analysts see Raytheon's sales shrinking 1% in 2012 and again in 2013, to $24.3 billion. Yet that may just be the start of even bigger declines. Note that the Defense Department has nearly doubled in size since 2001, and a 10% to 20% reduction in size over the coming decade is a real possibility, fiscal cliff or not.
Budget hawks in the Republican Party, coupled with national security doves in the Democratic Party, may increasingly look to form an unusual alliance in a bid to finally address our nation's pernicious budget deficits, and the likes of Raytheon and General Dynamics may be hard-pressed to fight that trend.
DeVry (DV) provides a wide range of academic programs, from nursing to accounting to technical degrees. Like many other for-profit schools, DeVry has come under increasing scrutiny in Congress over rising student loan defaults. That's not a banking problem, it's a government problem: 80% of all student loans for DeVry's students are backed up the U.S. government, and a hefty chunk of funding for these loans would be cut from the budget if the fiscal cliff comes to pass. Even if legislators agree to a short-term fix to avoid the cliff, student loan funding looks to be a long-term sacrificial lamb as the government starts to pare back in size.
We may already be seeing the long-term challenges faced by DeVry and others. Enrollment in its various programs this summer is roughly 15% below year-ago levels. And though analysts are currently modeling for a 5% drop in fiscal (June) 2013 revenues to around $1.97 billion, they expect DeVry's revenues to rebound slightly in fiscal 2014.
Fiscal cliff or not, that may be hard to pull off as future government outlays for student loans become more meager. To see these stocks in action, visit the 5 Stocks at Risk of Falling off the Fiscal Cliff portfolio.
