10/28/2010 Category: Earnings
Edison, New Jersey—October 28, 2010—Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today reported its results for the third quarter 2010.
Recent highlights include:
- Reported funds from operations of $0.69 per diluted share;
- Reported net income of $0.16 per diluted share; and
- Declared $0.45 per share quarterly cash common stock dividend.
Funds from operations (FFO) available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $64.3 million, or $0.69 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, FFO available to common shareholders equaled $197.1 million, or $2.12 per share.
Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter 2010 equaled $13.0 million, or $0.16 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income available to common shareholders amounted to $46.3 million, or $0.58 per share.

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable rental property (which the Company believes includes unrealized losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of properties (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs. FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income per share as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's FFO per share is comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). A reconciliation of net income per share to FFO per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation is a fully-integrated, self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) providing management, leasing, development, construction and other tenant-related services for its class A real estate portfolio. Mack-Cali owns or has interests in 287 properties, primarily office and office/flex buildings located in the Northeast, totaling approximately 32.9 million square feet. The properties enable the Company to provide a full complement of real estate opportunities to its diverse base of approximately 2,100 tenants.

Clinkscale's Patience Rewarded with Role on Stoops' Staff
The second Mark Stoops was hired, Kentucky caught Steve Clinkscale's eye.
Then about to make the move from Illinois to Cincinnati, Clinkscale saw success in the program's future.
"From afar, when Coach Stoops took over, there was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be a football school," Clinkscale said.
Naturally, Clinkscale wanted to be a part of UK's ascendance. And as an energetic, passionate and eager young coach, his instinct was to pursue the opportunity. His wife, Jasena, preached patience.
"When Coach Stoops first got the job here, I really wanted to come and really wanted to chase him, hunt him down," Clinkscale said. "And she said, 'It'll happen, baby. It'll happen.' "
Clinkscale heeded his wife's advice, and after three successful seasons at Cincinnati his decision paid off. On Tuesday, Stoops named him defensive backs coach, the successor to Derrick Ansley.
"I am very impressed with Coach Clinkscale's knowledge and the way he handles himself with players," Stoops said in a release announcing the hire. "He is well-seasoned in terms of experience. Coaches I greatly respect – Coach (Eddie) Gran and Coach (Darin) Hinshaw – who worked with him in Cincinnati speak very highly of him."
Stoops consulted first-year offensive coaches Gran and Hinshaw during the interview process, but more importantly trusted his own background as a defensive backs coach.
"As you know, that's my expertise and so I'll take recommendations from people, obviously, and there was great interest in this job and some great candidates, some guys with NFL experience and just all different types," Stoops said on Thursday. "But obviously I know very specifically what I'm looking for with that hire and just thought he was a great fit for us."
Leaving Cincinnati, however, was not an easy decision for Clinkscale. He was promoted to co-defensive coordinator before last season, but he couldn't pass up the opportunity he had waited so long for.
"Being a defensive coordinator at Cincinnati was a great opportunity as well, given to me by Tommy Tuberville, but Coach Stoops and I are so like-minded," Clinkscale said. "We share a very similar background from where we're born and raised, from how we've kind of come up in the coaching ranks to just having a great experience with the defensive backs and just wanting to continue to work for somebody that's like-minded, somebody that I feel can continue to make me a better coach and a better person."
As Clinkscale referenced, he and Stoops both hail from Youngstown, Ohio. Though Clinkscale was close with tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow prior to the interview process, he and Stoops only knew of each other.
"The first thing you think of in Youngstown, Ohio about the Stoops family is tradition, toughness, winning," Clinkscale said. "That's the same thing that we were brought up in."
Clinkscale and Stoops also have a history with defensive backs in common, another attractive part of the job.
"I always like to work with people that I think I can learn from and maybe just get better," Clinkscale said. "I always want to get better. I never felt like as a player I played my best game, and I never feel like as a coach that I've coached my best game. I think I always can get better, every game, every week, every year and every practice."
Clinkscale will now look to continue his own personal improvement coaching a unit that has the potential to be one of UK's strengths. By the end of the season, the Wildcats were playing four freshmen – Chris Westry, Derrick Baity, Darius West and Marcus Walker – in the secondary, giving early experience to a rangy, talented group.
"I like to teach, and I think that's what he was looking for: someone that wants to teach, be detail-oriented and help the young men grow and develop," Clinkscale said. "This is a young group. Four of the starters are freshmen. Want to give those guys opportunities to continue to develop, and they're willing to learn and get better."
Clinkscale has preexisting relationships with a number of his defensive backs having recruiting them in high school and already has noticed the group is a close-knit family. With that taken care of, Clinkscale will work to make sure his unit plays with a good balance between intensity and fundamental soundness.
"You can't play defense without emotion," Clinkscale said. "You can't coach it without emotion. You have to have a little emotion, have to have some enthusiasm and understand the game as well. But I want to be fundamentally sound, I want us to have great effort running to the ball and, like I always say, I want them to be violent and physical."
With that approach, Clinkscale believes his group can be the linchpin of Kentucky's defense.
"They want to continue to learn and get better, and they want to be the best defensive back unit in the country," Clinkscale said. "That's what I'm here for."

So after dinner last night we went out to a very cool bar! The fact that we were the oldest people there by 25 years didn't deter us :) And we were treated quite kindly. Instead of a glass of wine which would be typical for us for after dinner sipping, I decided I want a real cocktail. So we ordered one each of these.
Paloma Ahumada: An updated, smoked out version of the classic Mexican Paloma. Reposado Tequila, Mezcal, Fresh Lime, Fresh Grapefruit, Honey, Mole Bitters, House Mesquite Smoked Salt, Served Over
Bread and Wine: Charles Joly of The Drawing Room in Chicago won a contest held by The Secret Sherry Society with this cocktail. A favorite among the Chapel staff. Oloroso Sherry, Single Malt Scotch, Absinthe, Maple Syrup, Fresh Lemon, Served Over
So I have the list of ingredients but not a clue about the ratios. Any suggestions would be welcome. Both of these were great and I want them without paying $9 for them :) TIA.

text: RMBS Settlement with Deutsche Bank: Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE:AGO) ("AGL" and, together with its subsidiaries, "Assured Guaranty" or the "Company") announced today that it has reached a settlement with Deutsche Bank AG and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Deutsche Bank"), resolving claims related to residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") transactions issued, underwritten or sponsored by Deutsche Bank that were insured by Assured Guaranty under financial guaranty insurance policies and to certain RMBS exposures in re-securitization transactions on which Assured Guaranty provided credit protection through credit default swaps. As part of the agreement with Deutsche Bank, Assured Guaranty received a cash payment of $165.6 million, a portion of which will partially reimburse Assured Guaranty for past losses on certain transactions that are covered by a loss-sharing agreement, which also requires Deutsche Bank to pay a portion of Assured Guaranty's future RMBS related losses. Please see our March 31, 2012 Form 10-Q for further details. "We are pleased to have reached a settlement with Deutsche Bank that further reduces our exposure to RMBS losses," said Dominic Frederico, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Deutsche Bank represents the second major financial institution with whom we have settled over the past twelve months. This settlement further strengthens our balance sheet by providing a substantial cash payment and certainty related to the loss-sharing arrangement on future claims. We have now reached favorable settlements with respect to approximately 37% of the par outstanding of Assured Guaranty's troubled legacy RMBS." 1 These are financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") ("non-GAAP financial measures.") Please see the "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this press release and Table 1 for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to operating income. 2 Represents the non-economic fair value adjustments that are not expected to result in economic loss ("non-economic net unrealized fair value gains and losses") related to credit derivatives, financial guaranty variable interest entities ("FG VIEs") and committed capital securities ("CCS"). These non-economic changes in fair value represent the components of changes in fair value in excess of net expected loss that are expected to reverse to zero by contract maturity and are removed from net income to arrive at operating income. Financial Results Assured Guaranty also announced today its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 ("first quarter 2012").


text: A Verizon spokesperson declined to comment. But while Verizon has publicly said it remains interested in a deal with Apple, Reid suspects it won't involve the current generation of iPhones. What's more likely, Reid says, is that Verizon makes a deal to sell other Apple devices like the elusive Apple Tablet and the next version of the iPhone running on long term evolution or LTE, a fourth generation wireless technology. In other words, Reid expects Verizon to wait for something special rather than put its name on a three-year-old iPhone. But that could be a long time from now. "We expect Verizon to offer only 4G Apple handsets in 2011," Reid says. -- Written by Scott Moritz in New York.

A team of researchers from 12 Quebec hospitals (MUHC-Royal Victoria Hospital, MUHC-Montreal General Hospital, Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, Jewish General Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke-Fleurimont, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke-Hotel Dieu, CHUM-St. Luc, Cité de la Santé de Laval, Hôpital Charles LeMoyne, Hôpital Jean Talon and Réseau Santé Richelieu Yamaska) has completed the first comprehensive study of Clostridium difficile outbreaks that have occurred in the province since 2003. This report will be published in the December 8, 2005, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine but had an early release yesterday.
"In March 2003, several Quebec hospitals noted a marked increase in the incidence of Clostridium difficile," says Dr. Vivian Loo, Chief of Microbiology at the MUHC and the study's principal investigator. "It became clear that we were all suffering similar outbreaks and we decided to pool our resources and expertise to determine the extent of the problem, identify this strain and work towards improved prevention methods and treatments."
This study reports the magnitude of this outbreak and incidence of severe disease. In addition, researchers used DNA fingerprinting by pulsed field gel electrophoresis to identify the Quebec predominant strain, which is similar to an epidemic strain that struck in the US, UK and Belgium. The research states that this new strain was responsible for over 80% of cases studied in Quebec, and suggests that the use of antibiotics in the hospitals assisted in the rapid spread of the bacteria. The researchers identified two factors that may potentially explain why this particular strain of Clostridium difficile was able to result in severe disease among patients.
This research highlights the leading role that Quebec-based scientists are playing in international Clostridium difficile research. The collaborative efforts and complementary expertise among clinicians and basic scientists in the different hospitals and Quebec universities were instrumental in furthering the knowledge of this important health problem.
The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) is a comprehensive academic health institution with an international reputation for excellence in clinical programs, research and teaching. The MUHC is a merger of five teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University — the Montreal Children's, Montreal General, Royal Victoria, and Montreal Neurological Hospitals, as well as the Montreal Chest Institute.
Building on the tradition of medical leadership of the founding hospitals, the goal of the MUHC is to provide patient care based on the most advanced knowledge in the health care field, and to contribute to the development of new knowledge.

DALLAS -- Marty Turco is playing like a No. 1 goalie again.
It couldn't come at a more critical time. If the Dallas Stars are to go on a desperate push to get into playoff position, they need to win games now. And they can't do that consistently without Turco playing at a high level.
Turco was on his game in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes, his 39th career shutout. Actually, the entire team was on its game. Steve Ott called it the best 60-minute game the club has played the past two months. Dallas, led by 20-year-old Jamie Benn, was aggressive on offense around the net, took advantage of scoring chances, allowed next to nothing on the penalty kill, won the majority of faceoffs, doubled the Coyotes on hits, stifled a tired Phoenix team with good play in the defensive zone and received confident goaltending.
It's that last part that will be the key for the Stars if they are to earn a playoff invitation. To do that, Turco, who has allowed two or fewer goals in three straight games for the first time this season, knows he has to take this act on the road to help his team skate out with points. The Stars have three games left before the two-week Olympic break. All three are away from the very friendly ice at American Airlines Center. They have won just one game in their past 13 on the road.
But Saturday's game is the perfect blueprint to use when they head to Chicago on Tuesday. And for Turco, he can use his last three games -- and a handful of practices -- to give him a confidence boost that he hasn't had all season. Turco has allowed three goals in 101 shots in his past three games.
"You can see it in his body language, you can see it in the way he moves the puck," Stars coach Marc Crawford said about Turco's confidence. "It couldn't come at a better time for us."
The Stars need the Turco who is a reliable goalie who cleans up most of the defensive mistakes -- and there will be more errors -- and stands on his head every once in a while to steal a game. He didn't have to do anything too fancy Saturday, thanks to his teammates. But he made sure the resilient Coyotes never got any momentum to make things interesting as they pressured the net in the final period.
"It just helps to have good balance and to be able to move well," said Turco, a technician of his craft. "That always aids my patience. That allows me to stand in there and wait to see the puck and react accordingly and not get ahead of myself."
Is Turco capable of playing like this down the stretch this season? He's done it before. It was just two years ago when the veteran led the Stars to the Western Conference finals.
But he had his worst career year last season and watched as a new general manager and new coach arrived. Despite hard work this summer on his game, Turco struggled to start the season. Crawford and the coaching staff stayed as patient as they could, but in mid-January they decided to give Alex Auld a try.
That's when the swapping of goalies began. Saturday was the first time Turco had even played three consecutive games since Jan. 14.
"Probably the biggest thing he needed was a break," Crawford said. "He didn't want it to be as long as he got it, but all you can do in those types of situations is prepare for your next outing."
Goaltending coach Mike Valley said he thought a hot streak for Turco was coming after watching him in practice the last week.
"When he's really moving well, you see that pop in his game and the confidence oozing out of him," Valley said. "That's how Marty plays. It's a very reactionary game where he has that little extra energy in him. That's the thing that will go in waves, like it does for every player. The goal is to keep it as high as you can for as long as you can. But he's been practicing very well, and that's where it all starts."
Turco's resurgence could make things interesting for Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk. This three-game road trip -- something Crawford and several players called the most important of the season -- will essentially take the club to the trade deadline. They'll have two weeks off for the Olympics and then one game before March 3.
Turco's value is going up with every solid game he plays. But isn't he just as valuable to the Stars right now as he is to any other team? There's been talk about which teams might have an interest in Turco -- and I would think more teams may be calling the Stars in the next week if he keeps this up -- and if the Stars would be willing to part with him to get something in return.
Turco's contract expires at the end of the season, and it doesn't appear likely he'll be back in Dallas. But the Stars' desire to trade him should be steadily declining now. They need Turco, the one who has played at a high level the past three games, if they want to go on a run and make the playoffs.
So keep him and decide after the season if it makes sense to end the Turco era. If so, the Stars would lose his $5.4 million salary, allowing them a little more wiggle room to maybe add players (or pay existing ones higher salaries they are owed for next season).
Yes, it's only three games. But Turco sure does look more like the goalie who was so reliable for most of his career. The Stars should ride him as long as they can and hope he can drive the team into the playoffs.

In a recent study published November 20 in Frontiers in Psychology reports on a lightweight eye tracking system that allows researchers to track and chart the shifts in gaze that occurs naturally every 40 milliseconds during playtime. Often, children with autism avoid eye contact. This WearCam may help researchers expose the particulars of this behavior. Weighing less than half a pound, this device has two cameras, one pointing forward and the second facing downward. The bottom camera also captures the reflection of a child's eyes with a use of a mirror on the device, which provides another way for researchers to follow the child's line of sight. This device, for example records whether a child is looking at a person's face or down at his hands. Researchers can chart an unbroken line of vision because of the camera's two recording areas overlap slightly.
In this study, 14 children with autism aged 2 to 11 years and a control group of 17 children, aged 3 to 6 years, took turns blowing soap bubbles and molding Play-Doh with an adult. The children with autism looked less at the face of the adult blowing bubbles than the controls did. While she kneaded Play-Doh they also looked more at her face than the controls did, even though there was little social reason to attend to her face. The children with autism were slower than controls to look at the adult when she was speaking and looked less at the adult when she showed expressions such as a smile.
These findings support the thought that children with autism have difficulty relying on facial expressions to be aware of social cues. It is suggested they also have delays in processing and integrating speech with visual cues.

2005-05-25 at 12:31:00 pm #9711HP Smart Chips Are Just Dumb
HP is not the only
printer manufacturer that employs "smart" chips in its devices to get
its customers to buy more of its consumables LEXMARK After all, is the
real champ in that regard. But when it comes to the passion with which
its customers denounce the practice, HP is way ahead of the field.
"I have a huge boat anchor called an HP Office Jet D155xi," a reader recently
wrote. "I purchased it three years ago as a complete 'office solution' — color
copier, color fax, card reader, printer with networking capabilities — for
$1,100 Canadian. Now, it's dead as spam."
The reader's problems began when the printer stopped working shortly after
its warranty expired. "I assumed — incorrectly as it turned out — that the
problem was the ink cartridges, so I bought a new set for $75," the reader
wrote. "When that failed to fix the problem, I took it in to the local HP
service center, who said the problem was actually the printheads. Thanks for the
obscure error message, HP. I had to replace three of the four printheads, for
which I paid $135 apiece. This took three weeks, as the printheads had to be
special ordered by the HP service center."
While that was annoying, worse was to come. "Once the new printheads were
installed, these new ink cartridges which has sat idle in the machine for those
three weeks immediately said they were empty," the reader wrote. "They were well
within their 'use-by' date, but they had mysteriously expired. The service guy
told me they had 'probably congealed' and that the smart chip wouldn't let them
work. So, another $75 for new ink. Two months later, the final printhead
Rather than continue with this cycle of buying new printheads and ink
cartridges only to have them expire, the reader finally gave up. "Enough is
enough," he wrote. "I blame the smart chips in these printers for all of my
problems including the unforgivably high cost of new printheads and ink. I used
to have an older HP inkjet. If a printhead clogged, you carefully used isopropyl
alcohol and a swab to clean the head, and it worked again. Ink didn't run out
until the little cartridges were really empty. Now, thanks to these chips, ink
has a use-by date and supposed smarts. If anything seems out of sorts, the
cartridge simply quits and demands you purchase a new one."
The reader says he will never buy or recommend another HP product. "This may
not sound like much, but during my career as a software developer and consultant
since 1980, I've been in a position to recommend or purchase IT products for
clients ranging from small businesses to huge corporations," he wrote. "Now when
they call to ask my opinion, I tell them to avoid HP inkjet technology forever.
Those smart chips inside the printheads and ink cartridges were sure a smart
idea, weren't they?"

The City of Brotherly Love heads on down to Texas.
Houston Dynamo, by Zach Woosley: Things are looking up for the Dynamo. Back to back home games against weak Eastern Conference opponents have given Houston a golden opportunity to break their win/loss pattern and with their 2-0 victory over D.C. United, they are halfway there. More importantly, they are getting healthy. Cam Weaver, Richard Mulrooney, Eddie Robinson and Luis Landin all returned and, after a prolonged battle over a transfer certificate, Joseph Ngwenya is also officially with the team as well. Basically, Houston did what they should have against D.C. United, which is the worst team in MLS this season. Now it's time to deal with the Philadelphia Union, which isn't really that much better.
In addition, the World Cup break is quickly approaching which will give Kinnear's guys a chance to rest and recover ahead of a busy late June and July that sees Houston with both MLS and SuperLiga matches to contend with.
Philadelphia Union, by Anthony Burkhart: Dare we say Chris Seitz? His only goal allowed against FC Dallas was a precision finish into the top corner by Brek Shea. Peter Nowak has continued to stick with Seitz even though the young keeper has had his fair share of gaffs so far this season. While it would be foolish to say Seitz has turned it around, he had a great game against FC Dallas and maybe, just maybe, that form will continue as the Union head down to Houston.
Off Target
Houston: Are you tired of reading my comments about consistency yet? Sorry to beat the drum again, but there is no reason that the Dynamo couldn't be close to LA on points if not for their strange pattern of good and bad performances this season. Despite some good wins and a solid point total so far, this team is clearly better than the results have shown. Until they put two good games together, though, it will be easy for people to doubt the team's potential. There really isn't much more to criticize at this point considering when the team is on their game, they look like MLS Cup contenders, they just have to get on a run of good form before I'm accused of having orange tinted goggles on.
Philadelphia: Defense has gotten the bad words in the past, but it's about time the offense gets its fair share of criticism. Since the Union's win over D.C. United back in April, Philadelphia's offense has scored just five goals in six games. Sebastien Le Toux's absence certainly hasn't helped, but it's a cause for concern when no one else on the squad can step up and provide the goals.
Houston: Dominic Kinnear could have the most complete roster he's had all season on Saturday night. With the exception of Ching and Cameron, it's all hands on deck for the Dynamo. The Landin/Oduro partnership up front worked splendidly against D.C., so I don't see any reason for that to change this week. There are plenty of options in the midfield if Kinnear wants to tinker. With Joseph Ngwenya available, he could potentially play in the central attacking role, allowing Brad Davis to return to the outside. Of course, this would mean Danny Cruz would lose his spot after an outstanding performance against D.C. Really, it's a good problem to have. I expect Davis to remain in the middle with Mullan and Cruz on the outside. Defensively, a back line of Chabala, Robinson, Boswell and Hainault/Mulrooney seems likely. With Philly's speed, I'd lean toward the quicker Hainault.
Philadelphia: Against FC Dallas, Philadelphia generated seven shots and many, many good chances. It took until the 94th minute to break through, but the offense was playing as well as it has in a long stretch of time. It's hard to expect that to continue, though. The defense will need to be on its best performance as they will now have to unexpectedly deal with Brian Ching, who was left off the World Cup roster. If a tie game gets to the second half, Philadelphia will probably be pretty content with playing for just that.
Houston: The Houston summer is here and with it comes high temperatures and high humidity. Sure it affects the Dynamo, but it really affects visiting teams. D.C. United look whipped by the end of the match last weekend and a lot of it wasn't from the scoreline. It's tough on players to perform at a high level for 90 minutes when it's 90+ degrees, but add in humidity that causes you to sweat during the walk from your front door to your car and you can understand why it's a potential advantage. With the Union's propensity for red cards this season, they'll have to keep their cool, which isn't easy to do during the summer in Houston.
Philadelphia: The Union will have to deal with their first really hot game of the year. Houston weather will be in the mid-90s this Saturday. While it is a night game, the Texas heat will still be lingering at kickoff. A tough road venue, coupled with the heat, will certainly be a tall task for Philadelphia.
Houston: Here we go, can the Dynamo break the win/loss trend? Every time I pick them to do, they let me down but I'm going to do it again anyway. Houston wins 2-0.
Philadelphia: Road games have been ugly this season, plain and simple. There is little reason to believe this Saturday will be any different of an end result. Danny Mwanga's goal to salvage a point gave the team a boost of morale, but that was two weeks ago. Houston 3, Philadelphia 1.

Even in 2010 coach John Pawlowski's club won 43 games and the SEC Western Division title despite pitching backwards with their top guy Grant Dayton usually pitching on Sunday. With veterans such as Cory Luckie, Jon Luke Jacobs and Slade Smith all returning with experience the search is still on for the three starting rotation pitchers this season.
One of the newcomers that has put himself in a position to earn a spot on the mound in either a starting role or long relief is powerful Derek Varnadore from Chattahoochee Valley Community College. A 6-4, 230-pounder originally from Athens, Ga., Varnadore came in for fall practice and has quickly put himself in a position to help his new team.
"I'm just excited to be here and ready to get this thing going," Varnadore said. "Coming from junior college it's totally different than what I'm used to. I grew up watching Georgia so I'm used to be around the SEC environment. Now I'm just ready to play in it.
"I'm just really excited to get going," Varnadore added. "I have been waiting on this for a long time. I'm just happy to be here."
A standout in high school earning All-Northeast Georgia honors, Varnadore had a strong senior season with a 9-4 record, an ERA of just 2.26, and 93 strikeouts in 71 innings. That followed up a solid junior year as well when he won five games with an ERA of 1.52. Despite those numbers Varnadore said he only had some small school offers on the table before he decided to attend Chattahoochee Valley.
Playing for one of the top programs in Georgia Varnadore quickly realized he needed to improve in several areas on the mound to have a chance to play in the SEC. Getting his feet wet as a freshman he was 6-5 with a 3.91 ERA and 94 strikeouts. Becoming more physical he came into his own as a sophomore as he was a perfect 7-0 with a 3.64 earned run average.
Those two years put Varnadore on the right track to being a better pitcher, something he said only improved in his first fall at Auburn. Working to get even bigger and stronger, he added that becoming a student of the game is a big part of his improvement as well.
"It helped me out a lot," Varnadore said. "I have gotten a lot stronger and I have gained a good bit of weight. I have gained 10 pounds since I have been here. I guess the biggest thing is I've gotten bigger and stronger and I have learned how to pitch instead of just throw. That's what I'm working on now."
With so many questions about Auburn's pitching staff Varnadore said he's excited about his possibilities in the 2011 season but just like his head coach he's still unsure of what his role will be this coming year.
"I have no clue yet," Varnadore said. "I'm just here to do what coach P (Pawlowski) says. I have thrown a two-inning outing and I have thrown a four-inning outing. I don't really know yet where I'm going to fit in."
With the chance to break into the rotation and pitch in the Southeastern Conference this preseason has been one of absolute importance for Varnadore and his fellow newcomers on the mound. Even with that carrot dangling in front of him every day the big junior said that it hasn't changed his focus nor his goals for the season.
"I was going to do that anyway," Varnadore said. "I'm just here to contribute. Whatever coach wants me to do that's what I'm going to do. I'm just going to give it everything I've got."
Auburn opens the season this Friday night at 6 p.m. against Arkansas State at Plainsman Park in the second game of the opening day of the Auburn Tournament. In the opener #13 Virginia faces off against UAB at 2 p.m. The Tigers will face Virginia at 1 p.m. on Saturday and the Blazers at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Studies will lead to better understanding of how humans and the environment interact
Credit and Larger Version
Mountain pine beetles, tiny bark beetles the size of grains of rice, have become widespread pests. The insects infest tree after tree in western North America, killing off entire swaths of forests during outbreaks.
The effects of climate change and other factors have led to the unprecedented epidemic. Tens of millions of acres of trees have been killed over the past 20 years.
Scientist Christopher Bone of the University of Oregon is using the power of computing to inform the response to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH) program.
The award addresses how humans and the environment interact--and where mountain pine beetles fit into the picture.
The grant is one of 11 NSF CNH awards made this year. Total funding for 2014 CNH grants is $9.47 million; the program has made awards nearly continuously since 2001.
CNH is co-funded by NSF's Directorates for Biological Sciences (BIO); Geosciences (GEO); and Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE).
"This year's CNH awards address, among other topics, how humans affect and respond to changing environmental conditions in large metropolitan areas, how natural predators combat disease, how noise from a range of sources affects humans and wildlife, and the complex interactions between wind turbines and local environments," says Tom Baerwald, CNH program director for SBE.
"The project results will be useful for all of us," says Baerwald, "as we work to maintain and improve environmental quality over the long run."
This year's grantees will look at the way in which people deal with environmental processes in a range of settings, including cities, mountains, grasslands and forests.
Findings from the CNH projects, scientists believe, will enhance our understanding of, and increase our capabilities to improve, environmental quality and the well-being of people.
Among 2014 research subjects are the coupled health and human dynamics of schistosomiasis; feedbacks between local democracy and large-scale biodiversity conservation; bridging communities through mountain sustainability networks; the interactions among economic development, urbanization and forest degradation; drinking water quality and food security in arsenic-affected Southeast Asia; and increasing the resilience of grasslands in the Southern Great Plains.
"We now live in a world where wildlife and its habitats are strongly affected by human societies, but where societies still depend on nature--a world of coupled natural and human systems," says Peter Alpert, CNH program director for BIO.
"CNH is uniquely devoted to advancing our ability to understand this mutual dependence."
The CNH program considers humans and the environment as one interconnected system.
Research funded by CNH awards will provide a better understanding of natural processes and cycles and of human behavior and decisions--and how and where they intersect.
"Each of the new projects brings together teams of researchers from across the social and natural sciences," says Sarah Ruth, CNH program director for GEO, "to help us better understand how complex systems function, and ultimately, how we might best manage finite environmental resources."

*The Fisherman's BoatI am tied to a pole
In me came and sat a fisherman with a big mole
He had a fishing rod and a net
With a bucket and bait so wet
He untied me and rowed me
Into the deep sea
And with rod, net and bait
He caught fish till late
He went home with a big fish
To prepare and eat a tasty dish
Tomorrow again he'll come wearing his overcoat
To untie me, his little fishing boat.*

Ergo Proxy Issue 7 by RiffThirteenWatch
©2007-2017 RiffThirteen
OK I promise no more versions of this thing. I'm done with it now. A friend of mine commented that he really like it and though that it looked like a professional comic cover, so I thought after I added the finishing distress to it that I'd go a head and mock it up like a cover. So if you're an ergo proxy fan and you happened across this and got your hopes up. Sorry. to the best of my knowledge there's no Ergo Proxy comic or manga.
Interesting interpretation of the original character design.
Good one.
Good one.
there is a manga actually
but only in japan
it's called 'centzon hitchers and undertaker', but i don't know much else about it

Like liz up there, I thought it was a comic too, which just tells you how awesome it really is. Kudos to you.
So cool! At first glance i actually thought it was an Ergo Proxy comic. ^_^ (I wish there was one)
looks cool

Good morning from The Oval, where we're waiting for the president to wrap up his trip west.
President Obama veers from the health care debate to talk military policy today, as he speaks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Phoenix. The president then flies back to Washington, completing a four-day swing through Montana, Colorado and Arizona.
One thing to watch today is what the president says about Afghanistan, where the Taliban is threatening to cut off the fingers of those who vote. The Washington Post, recounts one of the Obama administration's most significant Afghanistan decisions, the removal of commander David McKiernan.
Yesterday, Obama and his family took a sentimental journey to the Grand Canyon, inspiring one of the worst journalistic puns of the year: Yes, we canyon.
Of course, some VFW members are also interested in the president's health care initiative, And health care protesters of various stripes are gathering in Phoenix.
The politics of health care may turn now that the administration has signaled it may drop the "public option." Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a key Senate negotiator, says he is not bound by a timetable.
Things are getting emotional. Over the weekend, Obama invoked his late grandmother in answering critics who say health care legislation would create a "death panel."
Polls show the public turning against Obama on health care, as well as his stimulus package.
The Oval will be here throughout the day, reporting on the president's remarks to the VFW and any other news that pops up, so keep checking back. And have a good one.

Silver Metal Clay
So finally after over a year of thinking and talking about it I finally did a workshop in silver metal clay!! I've had a starter kit with all the tools needed and a pack of clay for well over a year but was too scared to use it as it's too expensive to waste by not knowing what to do!!!
Anyway I loved using it and I was able to make to necklaces and a pair of earrings. I will definitely be playing some more in the not too distant future!!!

Photos: Ten most memorable definitions for "Denver" on Urban Dictionary
Photos and more below.
Back in June 2012, our Kelsey Whipple put together a collection of ten weird Denver definitions in Urban Dictionary -- a roster that includes terms such as "Denver delay" ("The inevitable delay that will always occur during layovers at Denver International Airport") and "Denver brownie" ("Affectionately taking a dump on the windshield of a lover's car"). But the word "Denver" itself is defined dozens of different ways on the site. Most of them are positive, but some of them definitely aren't.
Count down our choices for the ten most memorable definitions and ways to use them in a sentence below.
See also: Ten weird Denver definitions in the Urban Dictionary
Number 10:
One of the best cities ever! Some of you guys who don't like Denver have only experienced the lame people. Which yeah there is a fare share of lame people, but thats just like any other city. Once you get past the lame asses you will meet some of the chillest and most unique people. Maybe ever thought the reason people drive so slow is that they are high? Colorado weed is the shit! Every city has their problems so stop baggin on Denver! And who ever said Denver was a party city? That doesn't make it any less cool.If you truly hate Denver then I am thinking you aren't even chill enough to be here. Denver is so chill.
Number 9:
To all of you out of town bitches saying Denver is a "cowtown" or "mostly white" you bitches need to learn your facts, idiots. I live in Denver and it has a lot of Black People and majority of the Population is Hispanic so watch your tongues, assholes. And yes we do have ruff Ghetto's and Hoods like every other city. Every city has Hoods. Don't talk shit if you don't live out here. Out of town people always stereotype us people in DENVER as being "rich" or "all white city". Out here Denver we have a lot of mixed couples, Black People, and a whole lot of Hispanics, and some whites out here. P.S. Assholes I've been threw Hoods like St, Louis , Los Angeles, and Milwaukee and every city has its ruff places. And we got pretty girls out here.
Out towner: Dude, Denver's such a cowtown lol!
Me: Do you even live out here?
Out towner: No I just searched it up on the Internet.
Me: Then you don't live out here, shit talker

Has anyone else heard anything about this? I got a letter in the mail yesterday from my health insurance company, United Healthcare, saying that my son's pediatrician, Dr. Schlachter in Essex Fells, will no longer be participating.
I am going to call up Dr. Schlachter's office and United Healthcare today and find out about it. Has anyone else heard about this / know more than I do?
If this is true, this is really terrible for us. We love Dr. Schlachter and have been extremely disappointed by the doctors we've seen whenever Dr. Schlachter has been unavailable. And we're going to have to find a new pediatrician in our area who is non/selective/delayed-vaxing-friendly because I am certainly not going to be taking my son to any of these drug-pushing doctors.
We went to one of Dr. Schlachter's covering doctors recently because my son had a lingering, bad cough and had been exposed to a girl with strep throat. We just wanted to make sure he hadn't caught strep throat and find out what more we could be doing to get him over his cough. The doctor walked in, said, "does he have his shots? Because it sounds like Pertussis to me.", (it didn't sound like Pertussis. He hadn't coughed at all in fact) then pointed at my son's crusty nose and declared that he definitely had a sinus infection and would need antibiotics. Then he listened to my son's chest and declared that he had bronchitis and the antibiotics would take care of that too. Then he handed us a prescription for Amoxicillin and sent us to the nurse to get tested for Strep. Dr. Schlachter invariably tells me something really smart and practical that I should try before resorting to anything more serious like antibiotics - and so far, we haven't had to resort to anything more serious once in two years. His advice is always based on knowledge, experience and real life, not prescribe, prescribe, prescribe.
My son didn't have strep. I didn't fill the prescription but held on to it in case he turned out to really need it. He didn't. We bought some vicks vapor mist and some Chestal, turned his humidifier up a notch, and he was better in a few days.
Experiences like this have left me extra fearful of having to find a new pediatrician.
The one time we saw another doctor while he was on vacation was not a good experience. They were trying to scare us into giving 6-8 vaccines to our daughter (we're doing delayed/selective vaccinations), and they also told us we should be letting our then 3 month old cry it out.
The other local pediatric practice that has been recommended by neighbors is not going to be a good fit for us. When calling to schedule a visit, they ask about vaccinations and say they can't serve families who do delayed or selective vaccinations.
I'll call Schlachter's office next week, but I'm not sure what they can do. Did you get any more info from them or from United? Are there any other doctors you're considering?
Jo, I do have an update. I spoke with Dr. Schlachter and he says it's taken care of, not to worry, they will continue to participate. Apparently there's some recertification they have to do with the healthcare company every certain number of years, and he does it by fax so every time it comes up there are problems with it, he has to resubmit it a number of times before it takes, they say they didn't get it or whatever. Anyway, he said it took him five or six tries but it's now sorted.
Thank the lord, the idea of having to look for a new doctor who's not like these other doctors we're talking about was actually making me feel ill.

Back when Mizzy was still Lizzy..and we still used VCR's!
Found this in the old Sticky Dumbness files–the origin of the "Sticky Dumbness" name!
I was working on something in Photoshop a few years ago, and the lasso tool was malfunctioning terribly–rather than encircling an object I was trying to delete or move around, the lasso's lines would bow outward and stick to things. Out of frustration, I messaged Steve, and he explained a bit of trickery(and eventually just suggested rebooting) to eliminate "all the sticky dumbness". *ping!* I instantly loved that phrase and snagged it.

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!
My husband borrowed money for his business before we were married. His business failed and he had made some payments to his friend however , he stopped making payments to her when his business went under. The loan was made to the business and he signed a promissory note . It has been a few years and since then he has lost his home his job and car. He is not working and I have been helping him with his child support payments which have been reduced. Tomorrow he has to go to court because she file a case against him. Do you have any advise ? Can the courts make him pay even though he has no money?
Inability to pay is not an excuse to liability under an agreement. If the note was breached and its otherwise enforcable, he will have to make some arrangements to pay the note or face a judgment which can result in other means of satisfying the debt, which often include the seizure of non-exempt property. If he hasn't already, he should consult an attorney and likely ask the court for a continuance for the purpose of consulting with counsel on the matter. It's not likely that the court will freely continue the matter at this late date, but it's worth asking.
Advice on this forum is for informational purposes only and should never be mistaken as a substitute for legal advice. If you are in need of legal advice, you should consult local legal counsel.Ask a similar question
Is the "she" who took him to court the business loan person suing on the loan or is it the "she" who is suing for ¿Child support?Ask a similar question
Attorney Lewis discussed a suit based on contract. If the suit is for contempt of court for violation of an existing support order, the repercussions are different.
If he is being sued on the promissory note, the plaintiff may win a judgment against him, but based upon what you wrote, he has no assets which could be seized to pay the judgment (i.e. no house, no car, no wages). The judgment will last for 20 years, and if he has assets later in life, a patient plaintiff will come back and collect it when there are assets to seize. Filing bankruptcy could possibly discharge this debt, or judgment, depending on the facts (i.e. no fraud exists). As far as child support obligations, there is no way to avoid these or discharge them in bankruptcy.
Consult with an attorney ASAP.
I am an attorney who is only licensed in the State of Florida. My answer is general legal advice based upon what I perceive your question to be, and should not be relied upon because every person's facts and circumstances are unique, and because specific laws vary from state to state. To completely evaluate a legal issue requires reviewing and evaluating all relevant facts, applicable laws and other information. My answer does not create an attorney-client relationship, and offered for informational purposes only.Ask a similar question
It sounds like it is a small claims case (under $5,000)? If so, and tomorrow is the pretrial, then typically the case will be referred to mediation. In mediation, the parties MAY settle, but cannot be forced to settle. Did he sign the note in his individual capacity or for the business?
I will include a link to an article on small claims procedure. I hope it helps.Ask a similar question

Power Suit Samus is Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Global Apocalypse. It works a little differently than it did in SSBB. Zero Suit Samus radiates energy, dragging enemies and items towards her while damaging anyone close to her. Then, the several parts from the edges of the screen appear and rush towards Zero Suit Samus, damaging anybody that comes in contact with them and delivering great knockback. Then, she transforms into Samus. The maximum damage it can deal is 25%, if the player is caught in the energy she radiates. If the opponent is hit by one of the incoming parts, he receives 25% damage but more knockback.
