I would now like to introduce the members of the management team here with me today. Laurence Geller, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Diane Morefield, our Chief Financial Officer. Laurence?
Laurence Geller
Thank you, Jon. Good morning, everybody. Yesterday we reported yet another quarter of industry leading results. Most importantly, the strong and positive trends that we previously reported on continue.
Diane will cover the specifics of the quarter in more details shortly but as I did last quarter, I will frame our results in a broader context which demonstrates the continued and the potential Superior performance of our unique high end portfolio.
The second quarter marked the 10th consecutive quarter of improved lodging demand and occupancy in our total North American portfolio. This was close to 75% which is full -- a full 8 percentage points higher than the second quarter of 2009, which marked our previous cyclical trough.
Six of our assets are currently above their previous peak occupancy. Our industry has experienced a broad recovery in lodging demand across all segments. But absolute luxury lodging demand is currently at an all-time high. It shows no signs of diminishing and is outperforming other segments.
Lastly, driven by the new supply additions near the end of the last cycle, our portfolio is still 4% below the peak occupancy levels we achieved in the second quarter of 2007, inclined there is still considerable runway for growth.
ADR at our hotels increased for the ninth consecutive quarter and is 15% above the second quarter 2009 trough, but still 4% below peak. The second quarter was also our eighth consecutive quarter of RevPAR index growth for our individual hotels, which is our best measure of market share performance.
RevPAR index was over 110 points for the combined portfolio, a 0.8% increase to the second quarter of 2011. This is a clear reflection of our best-in-class asset management, as our hotels continued to aggressively outperform their direct competitive sets, as well as the broader market.
We are experiencing similar cumulative positive trends in non-room spending, a very important piece of our business model given historically nearly half of our total revenues are generated from outside of the guest rooms.
Revenue at our food and beverage outlets is 32% higher than in the second quarter of 2009, which equates to over $6 million of incremental revenue across the portfolio and is driving total RevPAR levels that are now 25% higher than the 2009 trough, but still 8% below the second quarter of 2007, again implying growth runway.
As room rates are aggressively grown it will be more challenging for non-rooms revenue growth to keep pace with rooms revenue growth. Our non-room segment of the business obviously has lower profit margin in the rooms department, so logically we measure profitability on an EBITDA per room basis.
In the second quarter we earned over $8,500 per room of EBITDA, which is 36% higher than trough levels and 14% better than last year, yet still 15% below peak, giving us significant growth opportunity for profits.
Our productivity has improved a healthy 10% compared to the second quarter of 2007, indicating a systemic change in our operations. Since the first quarter of 2010 when lodging demand started to improve, our total portfolio RevPAR CAGR on a trailing 12-month basis is 9% with EBITDA growing over 18% on a compounded annual basis.
This meets our stated goal of two times ratio of EBITDA growth to RevPAR growth. Significantly, our cumulative EBITDA margin performance over that same period of time is 420 basis points or 190 basis points on an annual basis.
It is difficult to track similar metrics for this time period for our peers given the constantly changing portfolios. However, we are confident that our margin improvements are amongst if not the best in the industry.
And while these statistics are clearly indicative of our strong results in relative our performance, they naturally set a far higher bar going forward for us than for others and they will inevitably result in the tougher year-over-year comparisons going forward.
We continue our focus on two discrete operating segments, our resort properties and our urban hotels. As we did last quarter, we once again reported this portfolio segmentation in our quarterly supplemental package.
For the quarter, RevPAR at our urban hotels increased nearly 10%, while RevPAR at our resort properties increased 7.6%. To date and consistent with past recoveries, resorts have been slower to recover than urban hotels, though there appears to be more long-term upside currently in the room -- in the resort market based on group and incentive trends, and supply dynamics.
For example, we've seen our biggest improvements in group pace this year at our resorts where revenues are up 7% for 2012, compared to 3.5% in our urban portfolio. Replacement cost excluding land is much greater in the resort market than the urban market, and the more significant valuation GAAP generally exists between the trading values of our resorts and their corresponding replacement costs.
The planning, consents and development time of resort -- of the resort can be much more than double that of an urban property, indicating a significant longer time period where there should be no new competitive supply, even if the economy -- economics would begin to justify such development.
Despite the macro economic volatility we all daily read about, the healthy fundamentals of the high end lodging environment remains steady and current trends indicate they are likely to do so in the future.
In that context, our productivity continues to improve. Demand at our hotels and resorts continues to rise. Our room rates continue to increase. Both RevPAR and total RevPAR continue to grow. Food and beverage spending in our outlets continues to increase both on an absolute basis and on a per customer basis.
Our profit per room continues to increase. Our group pace continues to improve. Our group room productions continues to grow virtually each and every month. Our market share continues to grow and improve relative to our competitors.
There is no new supply or the threat of new supply in our markets, and the demographic and cryptographic trends continue to clearly favor high end hotels. As a result, we continue to remain confident, we're in the midst of a sustained period of improving lodging performance particularly in the high end. Diane?
Diane Morefield
Thank you, Laurence. Good morning, everyone. We filed our second quarter results last night and reported comparable EBITDA of $50.9 million, a 20% increase from the second quarter of 2011. Our comparable FFO was $0.11 per share more than double the $0.05 per share last year.
RevPAR in our same store North American hotel portfolio which for the quarter now includes a Four Seasons Silicon Valley and Jackson Hole increased to robust 9.5% during the quarter, driven by a 5.8% increase in ADR and a 2.5 percentage point increase in occupancy.
Our North American results continue to be impacted by the performance of the Four Seasons Punta Mita which had a 5.1% RevPAR decline in the second quarter. This actually lowered our same store North American RevPAR growth by 0.7% from 10.2% to the reported 9.5%.
Consistent with the reporting in the first quarter, we also now report the results for our 14 hotel U.S. portfolio, which also includes our unconsolidated joint ventures in the Hotel del Coronado and the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. We believe this is a broader and more representative measure of our total operating performance.
The RevPAR in our total U.S. portfolio grew 8.9% during the second quarter driven by a 6.3% increase in ADR with total RevPAR increasing 7%.
Occupancy increase nearly 2 percentage points year-over-year, driven by an 8% increase in transient room nights, which helped to offset an actual 4% decline in group room nights.
Importantly, our transient demand increased with concentrated in the highest rated premium segment where room nights increased over 50% from the second quarter of last year, rates on these premium transient room nights were up 9% year-over-year.
Conversely, discounted transient room nights, a lower rated segment of our business, which is driven primarily by online bookings declined nearly 9% during the quarter. This demonstrates the continuing and very healthy shift of business from lower rated to higher rated transient customers. In total, transient ADR increased to healthy 6.5% in the second quarter.
As noted, we did see a 4% decline in group room nights in the quarter, primarily attributable to the Westin St. Francis which felt the impact of a two-month closure of the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. However, group rates increased 5.4% in the second quarter and overall group revenue increased 1%.
Group room pays for the full year of 2012 is 0.5% higher than same time last year and group rates are projected to increase 4.5% for the year. Therefore, we view this blip in the second quarter as an anomaly and not any type of indication of a slowdown in overall group trends. In fact, 2013 group pace is even more favorable with room nights up 6% compared to same time last year and at rates 2% higher, yielding the group RevPAR pace 8% higher than same time last year.
Guests spending outside the rooms remain very strong across the portfolio as non-rooms revenue increased 5% for the quarter despite the decline in group room nights. For example, banquet revenue per occupied group room increased 9%, which clearly highlights that the propensity for group spend is ever increasing.
In total, Food & Beverage revenue increased 5% year-over-year, which includes a $1.8 million contribution from the Michael Jordan steakhouse at the Intercontinental and Chicago which opened in the fall of 2011.
EBITDA margins expanded a very healthy 160 basis points in the second quarter reflecting continued success in our ability to control hotel level expenses. Productivity which we measure by hours worked per occupied room improved by 1%.
The RevPAR increased at all 14 of our U.S. hotels in the second quarter with half of them actually achieving double-digit top line improvement. InterContinental Miami and Marriott Lincolnshire had 20% plus RevPAR growth during the quarter. These hotels were beneficiaries of the strong group base. And we're able to push transient rates aggressively on compression nights.
Our reported European RevPAR declined 6.6% for the quarter. However, this was heavily influenced by the euro dollar currency movements and on a constant dollar basis RevPAR declined only 0.9% driven by a 7.6% constant dollar RevPAR decline at the Marriott Hamburg which as you know has a very limited impact on the company's overall financial results.
RevPAR Marriott Grosvenor Square increased 3.4% in constant dollars during the second quarter. The Olympics are providing a nice boost to the city's hotels in August and occupancy at the Marriott is forecasted to run 96% for the month at rates of 385 pounds per night.
However, the weeks leading up to the games were slightly slower than anticipated as travelers generally avoided the area given the negative publicity about transportation and immigration processing problems at Heathrow.
RevPAR at InterContinentals, Chicago and the Fairmont Chicago properties increased 4.5% and 11.6% respectively despite the impact of the widely publicized NATO Summit hosted in Chicago in May.
We estimate of lost approximately $1 million in revenue and over $500,000 in EBITDA at our two Chicago properties related to the NATO event. However, these hotels still performed well overall and in line with our expectations.
Turning to the balance sheet and our liquidity. During the second quarter, we successfully raised nearly $115 million in an overnight offering of 18.4 million shares of common stock. The offering effectively funded 50% of the preferred tender plus accrued, preferred dividends and our near-term capital projects.
On the last business day of the quarter, we made 14 quarters of accrued dividend payment totaling $85 million to the holders of our preferred common stock, I'm sorry, preferred stock bringing us completely current on our preferred dividend payment.
Our total annual preferred dividend obligation is now been reduced from $31 million to $24 million as result of our successful preferred equity tender offer completed at the end of last year.
We continue to work with the lender and our joint venture partner toward a successful resolution on the refinancing of the Hyatt Regency La Jolla loans which matures in September of this year. We intend to provide an update at the appropriate time and at our prior to the scheduled maturity of the loan.
We currently have $43 million outstanding on our revolving credit line and approximately $50 million of unrestricted cash at the corporate level, resulting in over $250 million of corporate liquidity in addition to our two unencumbered assets.
Regarding guidance, we are also reaffirming our full year guidance range today. We project North American same store RevPAR growth to be in the range of 6% to 8% and total RevPAR growth in the range of 5% to 7%. Year-to-date RevPAR in our same store North American portfolio has increased 9.2%. So our guidance range implies slower growth in the second half of the year.
Naturally, some of this is due to increasingly difficult comparisons from last year but also our concern over the impact on corporate America due to uncertainty about taxes and pending fiscal clip highlighted in the last part of the year.
In addition, we are forecasting about $3 million in revenue displacement related to capital work across the portfolio which reduces our full year RevPAR growth metric by nearly a full percentage point.
The bulk of this capital work is concentrated at Four Seasons DC where we are making planned garage repairs and other projects during the hotel slower season in order to minimize that disruption. Finally, comparable EBITDA is still expected to be in the range of $165 million to $180 million and comparable FFO per share between $0.21 and $0.29.
With that, we would now like to open the call for questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) And our first question comes from the line of Smedes Rose. You may proceed.
Smedes Rose – Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Hi. It's Smedes. You addressed a lot of my questions in your remarks, but I wanted to ask you, it seems like the Punta Mita property continues to decline in its year-over-year results. And do you have a sense of where this could settle down and maybe kind of update us on the -- I think they're trying to market at maybe more to South American groups and how that's going?
Laurence Geller
Good morning.
Smedes Rose – Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Good morning.
Laurence Geller
It seems to us that the Punta Mita properties is now settling and hopefully, we've seen its slow ebb. The results of the election were somewhat gave some confidence to the business community in Mexico. And the President has recently visited Punta Mita and made some very encouraging statements about the property and about security matters.
What we -- we obviously on marketing to a Latin America. It does has a rate differential for us. It looks very interesting and the most important thing is here our repeat customers from North America and from Europe are coming back. The people who have tried the property are returning. It is the aspirational traveler who hasn't been there that we are having difficulty in attracting.
And as a result, later in this year, we'll be announcing some unique marketing related initiatives that hopefully will drive attention and drive the aspiration traveler in. So to sum up, it doesn't appear to be deteriorating significantly. Hopefully, it's stabilized.
I'm optimistic that the new President will bring in, slowly but gradually bring in a new era of security, at least publicize security, and life will go on. We've had no security issues in or around our property.
Smedes Rose – Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Okay. And then I just wanted to ask you, you said your guidance incorporates obviously the risk of, kind of, corporate America slowing down with all the uncertainty. Are you hearing that at all from your customers or do you sense any kind of delay in group bookings for next year? People that are waiting to see how things shake out or what are some of your customers telling you?
Laurence Geller
Frankly, we are more reacting to the headlines in the newspapers. Yeah, there's New York Times for example, talked about uncertainty in the Corporate America just for blip. As far as our booking windows, our window hasn't started to lengthen and it is still short by historical standards.
For instance, in June 2007, our production would have given us 54% for Q3 and 46% for Q4 but now its 58% for Q3 and 42% for Q4. So what we're seeing is a shortening of it and people are booking at the last minute. Frankly, it appears to us they're booking when they book airline tickets.
Smedes Rose – Keefe, Bruyette & Woods
Okay. Okay. Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Ryan Meliker. You may proceed.
Ryan Meliker – MLV & Co.
Hey, good morning guys. Just a couple of quick questions for you. First of all, I was wondering can you give us some color on what you're seeing from a transient demand standpoint at your resort properties? I guess, what I'm trying to get at is are we seeing transient returns to these high end resort properties that you guys are on?
And then the second thing, I was hoping you guys could talk to me a little bit about was not necessarily your property specific. But if you have an idea of how you think London is going to trend in 3Q? Obviously, you've got the Olympics that are positive, but as you talked about there's always kind of heading into the Olympics and then kind of hangover following the Olympics that impacts it. Are you expecting London RevPAR to be up, flat, down, et cetera, that would be helpful. Thanks.
Laurence Geller
Okay. First of all, we're really pleased with the transient business at our resort. The leisure business during summer has been as expected in some cases better. We've had absolutely no need for discounting or any last-minute changes or plan.
So transient at the resort is healthy, it's good. We still -- I mean, we like the mix. We obviously like group business because we can sell them three or four meals a day whereas transient necessarily going to capture them all the time.
As far as London is concerned, it is interesting we had a slow period as Diane mentioned building out to the Olympics, the negative publicity was reminiscent to us of the later publicity that impacted us so much in Chicago.
However, it was not as bad as we thought and we had expected post the Olympics a real big let-down. But what has been happening in the last couple of weeks -- last three weeks, in fact, we started to see a fill-in in London in that trough period. We'll then start with the Paralympics which were -- won't impact us particularly will give us some compression business.
And the full looks very strong from a group booking business. And I'm pleased to say that the social business in the winter, which is always a good barometer despite the English lack of confidence seen in their overall business confidence -- business aspects that the social business is starting to fill in very strongly for the winter.
Ryan Meliker – MLV & Co.
Okay. Looks like you've identified from potential FX headwinds, if you're not expecting London to hold the portfolio back -- in the back half of the year.
Laurence Geller
Not really. We've been so aggressive here and the -- we have, obviously, London has to switch markets because so much of its business is into Europe and there have been a slowdown in much of the European leisure business.
But it's able to switch to the Middle East to Eastern Europe and to Asia. But most importantly, we are seeing return of the American business and the reason, I mentioned that importantly, its longer stay.
Ryan Meliker – MLV & Co.
Yeah. That makes sense. Great. Thank you very much.
The next question comes from the line of Jeffrey Donnelly. You may proceed.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
Good morning, guys. Laurence, I'm just curious. What's been the trend in cancellations and attrition in the quarter versus last year or even versus the prior quarter? Just interesting, is there been any shift?
Laurence Geller
Nothing. Jeff, we watch this very, very closely and I can say the answer is no change at all, nothing.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
Okay. And then just more of a…
Laurence Geller
Jeff, if I can interrupt you? Let me just stress again, what I said previously to Smedes. The issue is more importantly that the booking window has shortened, so you're getting less uncertainty when people go from tentative to hard, is when they book their airline tickets. So that window shortening a bit, few days on an average is the differential, that's the proxy for attrition.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
Okay. That's helpful. And then, I'm curious, out in Santa Monica, I think you guys back in June tried to renew or looking to renew your approvals for building the condos there on the beach, if I'm not mistaken, where does that stand? I mean, is that something that you think ultimately can happen or is that?
Laurence Geller
The approvals will certainly be extended and we look forward to monetizing that at the appropriate time. At the moment, we've started work on the -- some repositioning work in Santa Monica on the (inaudible) and on the interiors. So we'll look at that and we'll keep those approvals going.
What is very interesting, how Santa Monica has taken the place of Beverly Hills as the high rated and the most highest RevPAR, part of the L.A. market? So we are now repositioning the hotel up to take advantage of that opportunity, which is a clear opportunity.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
Is it conceive or I guess are you, do you conceive those units much like the ones down at the Hotel del where there would be for sale, but if actually put back into a pool or are these just actual full time residential units?
Laurence Geller
There are some -- some restrictions, but it is not inappropriate to suggest. We do a full new somewhat like the Delaware, they may be sold and we would be using them for – we would be servicing the hotel one way or another.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
Just one, one last question. Just I'm curious what your sense is on sort of a luxury hotel market, specifically if its transaction market for luxury hotels and if we saw some headlines about the Plaza transacting maybe during the quarter. Have you found that -- is the interest there is still fairly strong? Have you seen any shifts from maybe earlier in the year?
Laurence Geller
The answer is yeah. We have seen a shift from earlier in the year. We see increasing interest and increasing activity. It is not unusual in that -- when you have the uncertainty throughout Middle East volatility in the European markets, there is a -- all of this -- it is not unusual to see a flight into capital and into hard real estate assets in the United States.
We are seeing an increasing activity throughout. I personally think the strength in rich equities will have a determining role in how much activity in the second half of the year. But people are now looking at the supply dynamics and the relative discounts to replacement costs.
So we believe there will be a steady increase in the larger high end assets in the market and I think there'll be a steady increase in investment activity. The bid ask gap is narrowing.
Jeffrey Donnelly – Wells Fargo Securities
That's helpful. Thank you.
Next question comes from the line of Bill Crow. You may proceed.
Bill Crow – Raymond James & Associates
Hey. Good morning, guys. Apologize if I missed this earlier, but Laurence, can you comment on incentive based corporate travel demand, what you're seeing for future bookings from that perspective?
Laurence Geller
We saw a large uptick -- a large, a significant percentage increase in it in the early part of the year. And the second -- early in the second quarter, we saw incentive travel we had very interesting, one of our hotels, a buyout of the whole hotel for internal incentive travel by a major financial institution. In other words, it wasn't for their suppliers, it was for their staff.
We are seeing a steady increase but it is not dramatic and we are coming off a very low base of it. Its -- when -- what does happen when the incentive travel gets to the hotel they tend to buy out on-site, so they will tend to upgrade there various offer, the offerings they take on-site. But it hasn't jump back into full force and frankly, while this corporate uncertainties out there, it would be impolitic for them to do it.
Bill Crow – Raymond James & Associates
Right. Right. No material slowdown or change, just you haven't seen the recovery as robust as you might see, is that fair?
Laurence Geller
Absolutely. It is just so robust and so I would've hoped for it to accelerate more, but it is improving and there has been no decline since this improvement started at the second half of last year. It's just not going as fast as we'd like, so could you tell Ray J to book some stuff at our hotels, please?
Bill Crow – Raymond James & Associates
I will do my best. Finally, from me, Laurence, what are you seeing on the East Coast from a perspective -- acquisition perspective, I know it is an area that you would eventually like to expand and if you can?
Laurence Geller
Well, we've certainly like. We certainly have been very consistent that we look selectively and opportunistically at our acquisitions. We like high end product. We like high barrier to entries. We like North America focused and yeah, we'd like to expand in the East Coast, as well as in resorts which we feel represents an opportunity.
Look, our underwriting is pretty rigorous and we have very stringent financial metrics. So for us it's more likely the not -- we'll do an off market or a complex or structure transaction either in resorts or on the East Coast, and we can use them a stock as a currency if we have to.
Bill Crow – Raymond James & Associates
Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much.
The next question comes from the line of Enrique Torres. You may proceed.
Enrique Torres – Green Street Advisors
Hi. Good morning, guys. Question on you London asset, is that asset still being marketed for sale on a selective basis or is there any update on how that process is going now that you're going to have some of the Olympic results and clarity on what the rest of the year looks like?
Laurence Geller
We didn't, look, we are not aggressively marketing London, but we've made it very clear in calls like this and in interviews that we put into the media, that we are open to offers. The property is improving. We are -- we have another very small project going on in London, which will even increase profits more.
Sooner or later, the price that we want will come across the trends and then we will grab it. The people know its there, we get a lot of inquiries and I don't think an aggressive public marketing process makes it any easier.
Enrique Torres – Green Street Advisors
Okay. Thanks. That's all the questions -- all the questions I had were all answered. Thank you.
(Operator Instructions) Our next question comes from the line of Tim Wengerd. You may proceed.
Tim Wengerd – Deutsche Bank
Hi. Good morning. Can you talk a little bit about your expectations for the del Coronado this summer and into second half during the busy season?
Laurence Geller
We are pleased with results of the del for the summer, they are pretty well as expected. We didn't see any turndown in it. So the headlines didn't have an impact on the travel -- on the discretionary travel for the del. Group bookings are good, are as expected for the del for the fall and winter and into next spring.
San Francisco -- San Diego is still absorbing meetings hotel supply. We are still outperforming our markets there. So the del I think is performing as expected and I'm pleased about the summer because, obviously, it's a good barometer for leisure travel.
Tim Wengerd – Deutsche Bank
Thanks. And then just on the CapEx side, I guess where do you stand with the CapEx projects that you have in place right now in Scottsdale and how are bookings at Scottsdale for later in the year?
Laurence Geller
Okay. I will let Diane deal with the CapEx in general. But let me give you some notes on Scottsdale. As you know, we are expanding it fairly dramatically at the moment from ballroom perspective. So here's the interesting thing.
We have -- we didn't meet our expectations for group rooms in the second quarter, yet for the whole of the year we are up 4% in group pace let say some 3,200 room nights over the previous year. But for 2013, our pace is up 50% to -- with 22,000 room nights largely driven increased, largely driven by the new ballroom where that's an interesting number.
I think the one that pleases me personally the most is that for the new ballroom itself, we booked over 57,000 room nights generated by that ballroom for all future years, clearly we made a good decision there.
Diane Morefield
Yeah. And regarding CapEx projects for 2012 in total, we're projecting $35 million to $40 million in under funded capital expenditure trends, I mean, I'm sorry, spend. As you know, we require at least a sort of mid teens and above ROI on projects before we proceed.
The major projects this year, we're finishing the renovation of rooms at the InterCon Miami. We are also renovating the lobby in common areas and upgrading the restaurant in the lobby of the Miami InterCon.
We have two ENO wine bars to be opened later this year in the Four Seasons D.C. and Westin St. Francis. And as Laurence mentioned, we are doing enhancements, say exterior of the Loew Santa Monica.
And finally, we are moving forward on a re-concept and upgrade of the food and beverage offering at the Four Seasons Jackson Hole, which we certainly want completed before the ski seasons. So those are the major projects.
Tim Wengerd – Deutsche Bank
Thanks, Diane. Thanks a lot.
And we have no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Laurence for any closing remarks.
Laurence Geller
Thank you, everybody for dialing in today. I know this has been a long earnings season and we are really delighted with what we keep seeing despite the negative resume of the headlines. The problems of Europe, I personally hope that this election season gets over quickly and we can resolve this deficit situation and fiscal cliff, and remove some of the uncertainty, because I think that will all alter 2013 and 2014 group bookings. We thank you all and we believe the trends will continue. Thank you.
Diane Morefield
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's conference. Thank you so much for your participation. You may now disconnect. Have a great day.

A day before new Red Bulls goalkeeper Frank Rost made his training debut for the squad, the Red Bulls head coach made his way out Randall's Island to meet stars of another sport.
Tennis legends John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg welcomed Hans Backe to their charity match Thursday night where the two brought back memories of their outstanding rivalry from years ago. Backe, who shares his Swedish heritage with Borg, needed no introduction to the tennis legend.
"He has to be the most well-known Swede outside Sweden," said Backe. "I think no one can compare with him. He's still a huge name and you can see that by the number of media that attended the press conference yesterday. All over the world, he is recognized if you just mention his name."
Borg and McEnroe, who were featured in HBO documentary titled 'Fire and Ice' earlier this year chronicling their epic rivalry and friendship, both have a strong passion for the game of soccer.
"I played soccer right here (on Randall's Island) when I was a kid," said McEnroe. "Not far from where our Academy now is, and this is the place where Pele came to play for the Cosmos, so I'm a great fan of the sport and I hope he enjoyed watching us play. I love soccer."
Borg echoed the feelings and admired the support from Backe, even with his busy schedule.
"Soccer is one of my passions, there is nothing like it as a team sport," Borg said. "And I was glad a fellow countryman could come from his busy schedule just to meet me. It was very nice to see him and accept the Red Bulls jersey."
Afterwords, the Red Bulls head coach had nothing but praise and admiration for the tennis legend.
"I would call them the two greatest tennis players ever, definitely. It's something special as a fellow countryman to meet Bjorn Borg, with his phenomenal record and character – and of course, a total opposite personality in John McEnroe, who was also a fantastic player. It's great to shake hands with those guys and give two match jerseys to them."

I love learning new things and pushing myself to be better person. It is a constant journey. Any one who wants to join me feel free to inquire within. I could always use some new friends and obviously I'm on the lookout for something that could become more.
Music: Classic Rock

Distractions (tv, books, music, etc)
Sleep ( I like my rest but I seem to be getting by without as much of it lately...)
Being fit. I'm not a workout junkie by any possible means but I do love the feel of some good sore muscles. If I feel like I'm letting the muscles go to waste I'm liable to find something to do even if it's just body weight exercises in my house.


text: Turning to some thoughts in the second half of the year, beginning with merchandising. We continue to evaluate and make adjustments to our assortment. We went too far, too quickly in the recalibration of our moderate traditional versus updated merchandise mix. While we think it is important to attract the updated and younger customer, this cannot be at the expense of our loyal, moderate traditional customer. Going forward, our merchandise assortment will be better aligned with our customer both existing and new. This will be a key driver of profitable sales growth.Private brand accounted for approximately 70% of our shortfall to the merchant's gross margin plan. We shifted the assortment too far to the updated customer and combined with price increases, this hurt performance. We adjusted these issues and we were able to rework most of our offering for the fall. We expect sales increases in our private brand categories as we have adjusted our merchandise assortment and have the ability to offer more attractive price points in response to lower costs coming from oversees. Overall, we see prices returning close to 2011 levels by the first quarter of 2013 in many areas particularly apparel. And today, we have implemented to various degrees strategic initiatives designed to support our growth strategy in over 120 doors. I had spent a lot time with our buyers and market. Our partnership with our vendors is stronger than ever. The vendor community has been very supportive and is working with us to drive sales through intensifying additional doors and online. Regarding our marketing initiatives, Luis Fernandez, our new Chief Marketing Officer has now been with us for a little over three months and we've already seen our marketing message benefiting from Luis' expertise. We were delivering a clear and more concise message around our plan for motions and product initiatives, resulting in improved overall shopping experience for our customer.

I thought I would share this layout with you. I met a gal on Juliana's team that gave me a PS template and thought I would try it. While we were chatting I had to tuck my daughter in and as I was going through the hall I saw this photo opportunity I couldn't let go! Sundays are pretty intense around here with Fantasy football going on. My boy is 15 and he manages a small team of 4, thinking about taking on 12 next year. Dad says he is a great manager , he even has my son help him with the team he has at work because he was loosing until Collin took over. They are both still in this far in the game so I he isn't doing to bad. The boy is sooo smart with football I swear he knows every player, all their stats and history. I don't even know how he knows all this. He can recognize them at a glance. Well, at least I don't have worry about the girls getting in the way 😉 Since he says that sports are more important! Love that boy!
I have been doing so many cute little duck tape crafts and not posting them, I should more often but I think that they so to silly to post but ya never know when someone is going to like it and inspire them so here is my daughter's chapstick, my boy unwrapped it and tore off most the wrap so I fixed it pretty for her!
Do you have Fantasy Football going on in your house? Is it just an emotional roller coaster or what? I try to relate with my boy it was hi-lar-ious going through YouTube Gieko commercials with him one night. My boy is like a comedian as it is, "Gimme some cold cuts" and the shuffle is big around here. My albino boy wants beautiful dreads… on and on.. to funny. I never laughed so hard when I woke up the day after Halloween and he had my witches wig on and a football helmet, he actually went outside and played with that thing on! He said he was going to wear it for his coach one day but I don't think he ever did! Never a day without a laugh from him! If you watch football at all or listen to the men in your house you will know what I am sayin'! Basketball tryouts are next week so the rolls are going to get really crazy around here. He will try out, says he doesn't think he will make it but at least he can say he tried. If not I think he will try and go for manager, he is short and has a bad knee, poor kid wants to be tall soooo bad. I told him he can't help his height but he can help his speed.
Enough babbling on. Just a proud mamma. Thanks for looking! If you have football on, do you craft while the boys watch? What is the craft of the day? Or the good food of the day?
Until next time..

I can understand why the Mail on Sunday was revamped a week ago in order to create two newsprint sections. It was getting too bulky in its old single-section format, and the publication of two 104-page sections is a clear sign of the paper's attraction to advertisers.
It now dwarfs all its rivals in terms of pages, with the exception of the Sunday Times, and it therefore is able to offer buyers a huge amount and range of material. However, the new section 2 is not quite as reader-friendly as I would have expected. It seems to lack the logical flow of the main paper.
My main criticism is the configuration. The critics are placed too far back. Surely they would have been better directly after the opening features. My hunch is that advertising demands have dictated that decision.
Then there is the mix of features. I'm uncertain whether the serious case of a mother accused of manslaughter fitted well with the surrounding celebrity froth. On the other hand, it makes more sense than casting William Rees-Mogg adrift somewhere between Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and Katherine Jenkins. That is definitely a no-no.
I don't suppose Rees-Mogg's column commands the attention of many MoS readers but those who have previously enjoyed his work may never discover that he is now holding court so far from the paper's more serious comment pages.
Those wrinkles aside, the new Mail on Sunday puts every other tabloid Sunday in the shade in terms of quantity. It really is an amazing success story.

Sharkboy and Lavagirl
Ok, so I saw some of the stories for here, and I write some Twilight stories, um, please read this, because I think you may like it a lot! Love you all for reading. Rated 'T' for language. Sharkboy/lava girl, sort of plot less, so if you want a plot, then sorry. This is just a one-shot, sorry.
Lavagirl's POV
Lavagirl's POV
Ahh, planet drool. Ever since Max came and visited, everything has been running amazingly. Kids are happy here and the ice princess and I are sort of friends I guess. We talk, but well, we aren't really friends. We are supposed to be enemies, but I don't care, she can be nice.
My now boyfriend, wow. Sharkboy and I just got together a few months ago. We live happily in Planet Drool with Max only visiting, well, I haven't seen him ever since before Sharkboy and I got together, together.
I ran down the volcano and to the beach in between the ocean and my volcanoes. I smiled as I saw Sharkboy walking up the shore. My heart started to flutter. This has been happening often.
"Hey." Sharkboy said with a smile and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. The only problem about me being light or heat and Sharkboy being water is that we could never really kiss for that long. Well, I could, just it would be hard for Sharkboy since its sensitive for that.
"Hey sharky." I whispered.
"What do you want to do today?" He asked flashing his big and bright smile. Now that is light.
"I don't know." I said quietly.
"Hmm, well you are looking amazing today." I blushed. The only thing about my blushing is that it turns really red, like bright! "I love it when you blush. It's so beautiful. Just like you of coarse." I smiled and blushed even more. Sharkboy caressed my cheek softly and made it colder.
"Thanks. You look great too. What were you thinking of doing?" he smiled devilishly. That sort of made me scared for some reason.
"Well, would you want to just do a picnic, right here." Suddenly he was gone. I looked around.
"Sharky? Sharkboy this isn't funny! Where the hell are you?" I said whipping myself around in circles.
"Right here." He whispered behind me into my ear that made me shiver. I never shiver! I smiled. "I love your smile." He complimented. He took my hand and brought me to a table right behind us. "Sushi?" He asked. I flinched at him asking me this.
"Sushi? Sharky, I love you, but sushi isn't always the best thing…" I trailed off at seeing his smile grow wider and him laugh and shake his head.
"This is good sushi. Not as raw really." he said to me as he sat down. He pulled out a plate that was filled with sushi that was raw pieces of fish, but they were rapped in sticky and burned rice and seaweed. Just how I like it. "I made Max dream me up some. It took a lot of work." He said with a smile. "and then water, hot tea for you." he said pulling out a cup of water and a hot cup with a tea packet. I loved tea for some reason.
"Thanks so much. You know, this is the sweetest thing that you have ever done." I complimented touching his hand softly.
"I wanted today to be special." I looked at him in confusion. "Its our anniversary. Our six month anniversary. I told you I would do something special to you for like a week." He said. He sounded a little upset.
"I'm sorry. I didn't remember. I wasn't paying attention probably. I was probably looking at how amazing your smile is." I complimented trying to get me to see his smile again.
"Well, all you need is some seaweed and some slime and that makes your teeth clean. The smelling good is hard, I just eat some mint leaves which surprisingly grow around here." He said smiling now.
"Happy six month anniversary." I whispered.
"you too. How have I become so lucky?" He whispered to himself while he put sushi in his mouth. I smiled.
"I got lucky here. Look, the sun is just about to set." I said pointing over at the horizon of the beach. He smiled.
"Come on." He said holding out his hand. I grabbed it but didn't wrap my hand around it. We walked closer to the water but not too close. We sat as we saw the waves crashing and coming close to us. A large wave crashed and it began coming really close.
"Sharkboy…Sharkboy." I whispered as it came closer. I got up and ran back a bit.
"Come here, its safe. It can't get to us." Sharkboy reassured me. He reached out his hand and gestured for me to come over to him. I smiled and walked over to him. I trust him. "Come here." He said opening his arms.
"I don't think I should…" he smiled.
"Just stay relaxed, and it would be worth it, just knowing I have you and I can keep you. Come here." He demanded sweetly. I smiled and leaned into his arms. I stayed nice and relaxed so I wouldn't burn him.
"this is nice." I whispered.
"It is. Your amazing, Lavagirl." I smiled as he kept bringing the compliments.
"If there was a Sharkgirl would you date her instead of me." He pulled away a short distance just so I could see him roll his eyes.
"How could I ever do that. If you would have maybe asked me a year ago I probably would have said, what? Where? Now, that's a really dumb question. I love you, I wouldn't trade you for the world." He said laying back as it became night time. I was the only thing bright, still glowing, still alive. "Would you leave me if there was a lavaboy?" He quizzed.
"Oh yeah." I said sarcastically. "No, I couldn't ever be with anyone but you. I love you Sharky." I said and kissed his lips. This time, instead of just a peck, it went deep. His tongue licked my bottom lips asking for entrance, I granted it with no hesitation. I moaned loudly in the kiss and I could feel his corners of his lips creep up. I pulled away.
"You're a good kisser." he complimented. I laughed.
"you too. Hmm, I love you so much." I whispered.
"Me too. You are the only person in my life. I promise. I will always love you. I don't need anyone but you." He said and kissed my neck.
"you know, I have never seen such a sweet side of you." He smiled and rolled his eyes following with a shrug. "I sort of like it." He chuckled.
"Don't get too used too it." He whispered. His lips connected with mine. And we kept kissing until this dream would end. Hopefully never. Sharkboy, I will never leave you either. Always love you.
Okay, so let me know what you think. Yes, it is short, but I really ran out f things to sort of do, so it is really romantic type things. So review if you liked it…: ) or review if you hated it…: ( Just let me know your opinion! Thanks guys! ~TaylorLautnerLover1~ "Noelle"

|This article is about a/an episode in Choujin Sentai Jetman.
A Walking Appetite! Ant-People (歩く食欲!アリ人間 Aruku Shokuyoku! Ari Ningen) is the thirty-sixth episode of Choujin Sentai Jetman. It is the start of a two-part vacation arc featuring the transformation of Tran into his more powerful mature form, Emperor Tranza.
Taunted for his childish ways, Tran decides to attack the vacationing Jetman to prove how much of a threat he is.
One might call it, "The beginning of the end". Aya takes our heroes on a vacation to a resort in the mountains. They have a lot of fun until Tran attacks them. He plays his flute and magic-contaminated ants bite people, who begin eating anything organic in sight. Live dogs, fish, etc. Kaori is bitten. The Jetmen wake to the sight of a field of cow-bones out their window. They have to battle hapless victims of Tran's magic, including Kaori. Gai nearly kills Tran, but Ryu protests that Tran is just a child. Enraged, Tran releases his human victims from the magic infecting them, and it forms itself into a soldier ant (bad pun) with a bazooka and fights the jetmachines. They defeat it. Later, the other Vyram appear and mock Tran about his being a child. He screams in fury and runs off to a cave where he performs powerful magic, forcing his body to adulthood and a magical high.

Reggie Jackson may have been the straw that stirred the drink for the Yankees, but George Steinbrenner was the fire that always kept the heat on. As the head of a syndicate that bought the Yankees in 1973, the free-spending Steinbrenner goaded his team at every opportunity while seeing it win 11 pennants and seven World Series during his ownership.
George Steinbrenner photo gallery
Here are some of our favorite quotes from George:
On whether he liked owning race horses more than controlling the Yankees: "I like horses better, because they can't talk to sportswriters."
On his personality: "I'm like Archie Bunker. I get mad as hell when my team blows one."
Reacting in 1978 to commissioner Bowie Kuhn's criticism that he paid too much for players: "I don't agree with free agency, but it wasn't my leadership that created it."
On baseball players: "(They) should be the happiest guys in the world. They're getting paid megabucks for playing a kids' game."
His plan when as president of the American Shipbuilding Company, he bought the Yankees in 1973: "We plan absentee ownership. I'll stick to building ships."
His self-parody, on Saturday Night Live, in 1990: "Where is it written that if you don't get results right away you fire somebody? . . . Only a jackass would do that."
And here's what others said about him:
Don Baylor, on whether he wanted to manage for Steinbrenner: "I came into this game sane, and I want to leave it sane."
Graig Nettles, on putting up with Steinbrenner's tantrums: "The more we lose, the more he'll fly in here. And the more he flies in, the better the chance there'll be a plane crash."
Billy Martin, on managing for Steinbrenner: "What does George know about Yankee pride? When did he ever play for the Yankees?"

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I started a company making aprons. I named the company after myself. I submitted a trademark application. I recently received a certified letter from Chanel, Inc., stating that I am infringing on their trademark and basically asked me to stop using my name, withdraw my application and never try to use the name again. I use my first name (which has an additional "l" at the end) and last name and the artwork I use as my logo resembles a sketch of a woman in a vintage apron. Is this something that they automatically send out and what are my options. Not sure if this matters, but the name I use is my birth name. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
I am not sure I completely understand your facts (your name is Chanell? and the mark is Chanell?). The names of living individuals typically cannot be protected, but with a famous old brand like Chanel, they may have more behind their argument. Basically, this is not a cut and dry case, so I highly recommend that you speak with a trademark attorney before moving forward.
This comment is NOT LEGAL ADVICE. The question asker and any third-party reading this comment SHOULD NOT RELY UPON this comment. Regardless of the information provided in this comment, any reader of this comment should CONSULT AN ATTORNEY to confirm the accuracy of this comment.Ask a similar question
My mark is my first and last name.
That MIGHT work in your favor, but these kind of borderline issues often require a bit more examination and careful strategy. I would not abandon your application just yet, but you certainly need a good trademark attorney to deal with the letter from Chanel, Inc.
Only your own experienced trademark attorney can answer your questions after a full analysis of all of the facts surrounding the situation. And don't give any more facts here as this is a public forum. You may have several options. What those options might be depend upon the specific facts and circumstances. It could be that you are are able to use the name despite any claims in the letter, or maybe a settlement agreement could be worked out with Chanel, Inc. so that you can continue to use the name. Again, your own attorney will be able to advise you once she knows the facts.
Do not try to answer Chanel's letter by yourself. You will be in a much better position by hiring your own experienced trademark attorney who can respond to Chanel after a full review of the facts. And your own trademark attorney will be able to assist you with responding to any Office Actions your application may have received or will be receiving by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
If you care about this mark (and you likely do, as it is your name), hire an experienced trademark attorney ASAP.
Best of luck!
This answer is for general information purposes only. This communication does not constitute legal advice, nor does it form an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
You are not required to abandon your application because a company sent a letter requiring you do so, if the trademark examiner finds confusion he will issue an Office Action which may result in you preferring to abandon the mark rather than attempt to prosecute it.
You may be infringing on Chanel's mark and will need to visit a trademark/intellectual property attorney to determine if you are, it will take more details than you should provide on Avvo to determine that. My colleague is correct that Chanel is a famous mark and can result in dilution of the famous mark. You will want to see an attorney soon to find out if is infringing and this will result in you having to stop using your mark.
Answering of your question is merely general advice and does not constitute legal advice. None of the statements or implications made by this answer creates an attorney-client relationship with the attorney answering the question. The statements made in this answer are not to be solely relied upon and you should meet with a competent attorney to discuss any concerns you may have regarding this answer.Ask a similar question
Using a registered trademark without permission is infringement. The USPTO may reject your application, if it is already registered or confuses the public. Consult with a trademark attorney.
This is not a legal advice or solicitation, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Consult with an attorney. I work for Cardinal Risk Mangement and Cardinal Intellectual Property, IP service companies, but not law firms. I also am the president of Vepachedu Educational Foundation Inc., which is a non profit educational foundation. I also write cultural and scientific compliations for the foundation. I also teach at Northwestern university as a guest lecturer. I also provide some pro-bono guidance on immigration and other issues through Indian American Bar Association.

Your best advice is to consult with a trademark attorney about your specific situation if you care about being able to register and probably use the mark. Trademark infringement involves a complicated legal analysis that not even general lawyers inexperienced in trademark law can properly undertake so you do NOT want to try this yourself. Are you "required" to "stop your application"? No, but you are proceeding at your own risk, especially financially. If you don't "stop" or abandon your application and the USPTO approves the application, Chanel Inc. could very well oppose your application which will likely result in a mini-litigation in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board at the USPTO. But before that, if your application still needs to undergo examination, an examiner could cite the similarity of your mark to Chanel's mark (or any other similar mark for similar goods) as a basis to refuse to register your mark. Your application is not simply being "rubber-stamped" by the USPTO. And, in addition to all of that, if you want to continue trying to use the mark, whether or not registered, and Chanel wants to stop you, Chanel could sue you for trademark infringement and if they win, they could either get an injunction against your using the mark or even sue you for money damages if you have sales of your product with the mark that is declared infringing. And now you arguably are considered to have knowledge of Chanel's mark and your continued use of your mark could be deemed intentional, thereby holding you liable for as much as three times the damages Chanel could prove. Not to mention, that at that point a court could REQUIRE you to stop using the mark regardless of how much you have invested in it.
The fact that the mark consists of your first name does not award you any rights in the mark that are superior to an earlier legitimate user of the mark (or something similar).
Here are the factors that need to be considered to determine if there is a "likelihood of confusion" between your mark and that of Chanel's and whether or not you will be required to stop using/registering your mark:
(1) The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression.
(2) The similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use.
(3) The similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels.
(4) The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. "impulse" vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing.
(5) The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use).
(6) The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods.
(7) The nature and extent of any actual confusion.
(8) The length of time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent use without evidence of actual confusion.
(9) The variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used (house mark, "family" mark, product mark).
(10) The market interface between applicant and the owner of a prior mark:
(a) a mere "consent" to register or use.
(b) agreement provisions designed to preclude confusion, i.e. limitations on continued use of the marks by each party.
(c) assignment of mark, application, registration and good will of the related business.
(d) laches and estoppel attributable to owner of prior mark and indicative of lack of confusion.
(11) The extent to which applicant has a right to exclude others from use of its mark on its goods.
(12) The extent of potential confusion, i.e., whether de minimis or substantial.
(13) Any other established fact probative of the effect of use.
After reading these factors, I would hope you can appreciate the value of seeking attorney assistance to guide you through this matter or simply decide to abandon the mark and walk away while you still can with minimal loss.
Alex Butterman is a trademark attorney with Staas & Halsey LLP (http://www.staasandhalsey.com), a Washington, D.C. IP boutique law firm. Alex is admitted to the bars of Washington, D.C., New York and New Jersey but, unless otherwise specified, the answer is intended to be general enough to apply to any U.S. state and based primarily upon his knowledge and experience with applicable federal laws. The opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of his firm, Avvo or other attorneys. This answer is for general information purposes only and is not intended to be and should not be taken as legal advice. No attorney-client relationship or obligations are established herein, although consulting an attorney to discuss your specific situation is strongly recommended. This is especially true of trademark law because TM law is so fact-specific and full of esoteric nuances and exceptions that could easily result in a critical legal error without proper advice from experienced trademark counsel.Ask a similar question
So your first name is Chanell and you started a company selling CHANELL aprons and then got a Cease & Desist Letter (CDL) from an attorney for Chanel, Inc. the cosmetic company.
1. NO this is not something they automatically send out, but it is something fairly routine to them because there are lots of infringers of the Chanel marks.
2. Your options are three (1) ignore the letter - they may go away, but now that you have their attention that is not likely, (2) self-help - respond to their letter on your own, but that will nearly always be a disaster as you are not a trademark infringement attorney and do not know what to say. If you make a mistake, you may increase your liability and lose a case you might otherwise have won., or (3) hire an attorney - this will give you the best chance for avoiding disaster. The attorney should know how to respond without making any damaging admissions and yet obtaining the best results possible for you.
There are several possible settlements I can envision:
A. You stop and pick another name. That will make Chanel happy and make you start over.
B. You modify the name. For example: CHANELL LUTTRELL aprons. You would need to negotiate a consent from Chanel, Inc. Hard to do that reliably without an attorney's help.
C. You fight them and don't change. I think you might have a decent case, but that may not stop them from suing. If you can't afford to defend a $100,000-$3,000,000,000 lawsuit, with the possibility you lose, then you won't choose this option.
Good Luck. My off the cuff recommendation is option 3 and settlement 1, hire an attorney, switch names and end this thing.
I am not your lawyer and you are not my client. Free advice here is without recourse and any reliance thereupon is at your sole risk. This is done without compensation as a free public service. I am licensed in IL, MO, TX and I am a Reg. Pat. Atty. so advice in any other jurisdiction is strictly general advice and should be confirmed with an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
Do not let the following comment from Attorney Butterman get lost in all the other responses: "The fact that the mark consists of your first name does not award you any rights in the mark that are superior to an earlier legitimate user of the mark (or something similar)."
In short, Donna Chanel from Peoria cannot lawfully sell perfume or any related product under the brand name "Donna Chanel." Yes, even if it's her real name.
The above is general information ONLY and is not legal advice, does not form an attorney-client relationship, and should NOT be relied upon to take or refrain from taking any action. I am not your attorney. You should seek the advice of competent counsel before taking any action related to your inquiry.Ask a similar question
As the others have advised, you should go ahead and consult an attorney, who can help you prepare a response to Chanel. But no, you do not need to immediately abandon the trademark application. You should work with an attorney who can determine your options for settlement with Chanel. You may be able to simply limit your goods and agree to never go into the hand bag space/use a logo or design similar to Chanel's. OR, you may end up settling by agreeing to change the name in some way.
You should keep in mind that Chanel is a famous mark and a brand with a lot of money to spend on lawyers. So, getting into a law suit with that type of company can cost you a lot of money if Chanel wants to fight you to the end.
Talk a lawyer and try to settle! Good luck.

There was a new policy announced in November of 2015. The handbook of instructions was updated to include same-sex married couples in the category of "Must" excommunicate. These are a major concern for those who are in a same-sex marriage.
On January 27, 2015 the LDS Church gave a press conference where Elder D. Todd Christopherson said the following:
"What about Mormons who support same-sex marriage privately among family and friends or publicly by posting entries on Facebook, marching in pride parades or belonging to gay-friendly organizations such as Affirmation or Mormons Building Bridges? Can they do so without the threat of losing their church membership or temple privileges?
"We have individual members in the church with a variety of different opinions, beliefs and positions on these issues and other issues," Christofferson said. " … In our view, it doesn't really become a problem unless someone is out attacking the church and its leaders — if that's a deliberate and persistent effort and trying to get others to follow them, trying to draw others away, trying to pull people, if you will, out of the church or away from its teachings and doctrines."
That's very different, he said, than someone who backs a group such as Affirmation.
These issues with individuals are not "resolved at church headquarters," Oaks added, "but require the prayerful consideration of a [local] bishop."
The apostle noted the 15 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has "30,000 bishops [lay pastors] in the world and they have differences. We are constantly trying to teach correct principles … [but it's difficult] to maintain uniformity."
Top Mormon leaders "do recognize the need for constant training" to prevent local leaders from imposing inappropriate sanctions on members, Christofferson said, "and are committed to that … so there's greater … sensitivity."
Mormons & Gays
Mormons and Gays is an official church resource for the intersection of SSA/LGBT issues and Mormonism.
Six sources provided by the LDS Church:
- The official website of the Church about homosexuality is found at MormonsAndGays.org. "Few topics are as emotionally charged or require more sensitivity than same-sex attraction. This complex matter touches on the things we care about most: our basic humanity, our relationship to family, our identity and potential as children of God, how we treat each other, and what it means to be disciples of Christ." The site also says the following, "The experience of same-sex attraction is a complex reality for many people. The attraction itself is not a sin, but acting on it is. Even though individuals do not choose to have such attractions, they do choose how to respond to them. With love and understanding, the Church reaches out to all God's children, including our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters." On this Church site you can find statements by three of the apostles– Elder Oaks, Elder Cook and Elder Christofferson and other statements by members of the Church affected by this issue.
- The official publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for individuals and families wanting to know what the Church teaches regarding these issues is God Loveth His Children, published by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, 2007.
- Relevant sections from the Official 2010 Church Handbook II: "Policies on Moral Issues: Chastity & Fidelity" ( 21.4.5), "Homosexual Behavior & Same Gender Attraction" (21.4.6), and "Same-Gender Marriages" (21.4.10).
We have also found the following current articles to be essential in understanding the official Church policy regarding these issues:
- Interview with Elders Dallin Oaks and Lance Wickman (August, 2006), posted on the LDS Church website. Provides answers to common questions for parents and leaders.
- "Helping Those Who Struggle with Same-Gender Attraction," Elder Jeffrey Holland, Ensign (October, 2007)."
- "Church Responds to HRC Petition: Statement on Same-Sex Attraction," LDS Newsroom, 12 October 2010. Official statement read by Michael Otterson on behalf of the "leadership" of the Church.
Together these six links and documents constitute the most authoritative pronouncements on same-sex attraction by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve.

text: The Council of Non-Human Sentients represents alien races in the space controlled by the United Republic of Earth. In recent history, it has gained the right to appoint 200 non-human senators (see Senate). The Council also combats human-supremacist movements within United Republic space, joining forces with the Cyber Guild to this effect. It also favors a peaceful course of action regarding the Horsehead Empire. There are plenty of Keiki, Rikiari, Vilaki, and Horseheads (see Horseheads outside the Horsehead Empire) in the Council, but few Arvi. Members of variant human races are denied Council membership since the United Republic government treats the variant humans as true humans like "normal" humans, but the human variants and the Council are allies against the racism of the human supremacists.

In 1979, he was instrumental in signing Alabama for RCA and then produced 21 consecutive number one hits for the band. He also produced albums for Mel Tillis, Louise Mandrell, Glen Campbell and Reba McEntire. In 1988, Shedd joined Mercury Polygram Records Nashville, where during the next six years he oversaw the signing of Kentucky Headhunters, Shania Twain, Billy Ray Cyrus, Toby Keith and Kathy Mattea.

Location: Soil and Water Management Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
This project will quantify the effectiveness of alternative agricultural management practices for mitigating N2O emissions and related N losses at multiple research sites with contrasting soil conditions and disseminate information to non-scientific stakeholders that encourages improved management practices to reduce impacts on air quality. Outputs from the project include improved estimates of time-integrated total N2O emissions for specific site management regimes including potential mitigation strategies, and information tools that will be disseminated via formal programs of the University of Minnesota Extension Service and via the web.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
A comprehensive monitoring system for quantifying direct and indirect sources of N2O emissions will be applied within currently existing field experimental studies at multiple contrasting site locations where specific practices for reducing total N2O emissions will be compared with conventional management. Use of the same measurement methods across all sites will increase the validity of the data. A key aim of the project is to disseminate practical information to agricultural producers, industry, conservation officials and others who will ultimately benefit from the research. Technology transfer will be expedited by University of Minnesota professors with substantial experience in Extension service and collaboration with farmers and commodity groups. To assist in the development of information products described below and to identify other potential issues to be addressed, a survey of current N management practices and information needs among agricultural producers across the state of Minnesota will be conducted. University of Minnesota Extension Service personnel with expertise in surveys will design and conduct the survey. The survey will help to identify potential users of the information, to generate mailing lists, and to assess preferences for web-based versus printed material.
3. Progress Report
In cooperation with University of Minnesota we completed the second year of a multi-faceted field experiment in Becker, MN which is evaluating the combined effects of irrigation and fertilizer management on losses of fertilizer nitrogen in multiple chemical forms occurring during corn production in a coarse-textured soil that is commonly used for corn production in central Minnesota. The study is measuring N2O and NO gaseous emissions and nitrate leaching in corn grown under dryland and irrigated conditions with multiple fertilizer management treatments. Effects of soil liming and additional measurement of dissolved N2O leaching below the root zone were also added in a subset of the treatments during the second year. Together, we have designed and maintained the experimental field plots and treatments, including coordinating the cooperation of research station personnel, and collection of soil, water, and plant samples for analysis. In conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), a series of questions have been developed to be used in a survey of nitrogen management practices among farmers in Minnesota which will assist in the development of improved management guidelines. The survey began on February 1, 2010. Phone surveys were conducted. Results of the survey were delivered to the MDA in June 2010. A meeting with MDA is planned for July 27, 2010 for ARS and University of Minnesota cooperators to discuss the survey results. Progress on the project is reviewed via regular meetings with collaborator and site visits.
