When the final horn sounded at the Coliseum last weekend, Stafon Johnson had barely enough time to think about what just happened.
The sophomore tailback had just finished his first significant game as a Trojan and after splitting most of the carries with fellow sophomore C.J. Gable, it was Johnson who attracted the most attention after the game.
He finished his breakout performance with 12 carries, 64 yards, and his first two touchdowns as a Trojan. Yep, all in a day's work for one half of the team's new two-headed tailback threat.
This is what Johnson had looked forward to since he signed his name on the dotted line back in 2005. A chance to prove himself on the same field another Dorsey High alum with the same last name did over a decade ago.
And while he didn't dominate like Keyshawn Johnson did, he and Gable, along with Joe McKnight set the tone for the Trojans' offense with their powerful running attack.
Afterwards, Johnson took it all in stride, from answering questions on the field to the handshakes from loyal fans and all the way up to his first post-game press conference where he tried to put this long-awaited, but expected moment into words.
"I don't really rate it that high," he said when evaluating his performance Saturday, "I'm still in a process of improvement."
On the surface, he was focused and level-headed, but inside, you can tell he was smiling. At his locker, he finally expressed the feelings he had waited two years to say.
"It feels good to finally get on the field. It's been a long time but I'm on now," he said.
His coach, Pete Carroll, knew that this moment was coming as well and he couldn't have been prouder that the fans finally got to recognize what he had known all along.
"I'm really pleased that he got to show what he's been showing on the practice field and in camp," Carroll said, "He's going to be a really good football player for us."
It was a far cry from last year, when he spent his freshman campaign on the sidelines and on the scout team.
Last year, he would've just changed clothes in the locker room and chatted on the side with teammates. But on Saturday night, that post-game shower had to wait as he had to address reporters waiting for him.
For Trojan fans, they finally saw exactly what Johnson had done for three years as an All-American running back at Dorsey that, according to the Cal-Hi Sports record book, rushed for the second most yards in the City Section.
"I had to show people that L.A. is still my city and I haven't left it," he said.
His family and friends watched from the stands with plenty of pride but there was one person who was watching from a different view.
The home opener was the first game that his grandfather, Larry Mallory, was not present for, having passed away from a heart attack last spring. Known affectionately as "Big Dad," he always supported Johnson, even when he struggled through a difficult freshman year.
Even though Mallory is now watching his grandson from above instead of the stands, Johnson continues to seek inspiration from him every day.
"Words cannot explain how he helps me to fight day in and day out," he said.
That was the theme of the night; trying to fully explain a moment that was a long time coming.
But with a long season ahead, Johnson knows that there are bigger goals than just gaining yards on the field. One great performance is only a stepping stone, not a peak.
"My main goal is to get better as a whole football player," he said, referring to doing a better job on pass protection. "I have to keep going and keep raising my ceiling."
There will be more great moments down the road, but right now, Stafon Johnson is focused on making his mark one game and one carry at a time.

View Salt River Fields Infographic
Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) partnered with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies to build the award-winning Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, which opened in 2011 as the first Major League Baseball Spring Training facility to be built on Indian land in the nation.
Salt River Fields at Talking Stick includes an 11,000-seat capacity ballpark, a total of 12 practice fields and office buildings that include Major and Minor League clubhouses, training facilities, and offices for each team.
The complex is spread throughout 140 acres of scenic landscape that has unmatched views of Camelback Mountain, the McDowell Mountains, Four Peaks, Red Mountain, and the Superstition Mountains. The stadium design immerses fans in the game of baseball while using Native American influence and regional architecture to offer fans the ultimate Spring Training experience. The design allows fans multiple observation areas, allowing glimpses into the players' daily lives and training routines.
The stadium is at the heart of the complex, with batting cages, practice fields and clubhouses radiating around it. A traditional Native American ramada shade is incorporated into the venue as a way to shade fans from the hot southwestern sun. According to solar path studies conducted by HKS, virtually all fans attending Spring Training games in March and sitting above the cross aisle will be in the shade for the entire game, while approximately 85 percent of the fans in the 7,000 fixed seats will be shaded as the game progresses.
Designed to also serve as a symbol within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, promoting and encouraging environmental stewardship, the facility earned prestigious LEED Gold Certification for New Construction from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Salt River Fields is the first LEED Gold-certified sports venue of its kind in the United States.
"Everyone told me Salt River Fields was remarkable. It's even better than that."
- Bud Selig
The 9th Commissioner of Baseball
"It is gratifying to see how, in this modern and developed world, the indigenous values of adaptation to the desert and conservation are still strong and vital. Salt River Fields expresses a living connection to our traditional ancestral place in this Valley."
- Diane Enos
Former President of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community
"The fascinating part is how Arizona and Colorado have put their own organizational personalities onto their halves of the complex. Salt River Fields redefines state-of-the-art by leaps and bounds. Nothing else comes close to Salt River Fields when it comes to design, functionality, resources, luxuries and sheer size."
- Tom Verducci
Sports Illustrated Columnist
"I've never seen anything like this in a major league place, much less a Spring Training facility."

Third-base coach Oquendo misses Sunday's game
MILWAUKEE -- Third-base coach Jose Oquendo missed Sunday's game to attend to family matters in St. Louis, and manager Mike Matheny said he is pleased with his coach's aggressive approach this season.
The Cardinals had runners called safe while beating the tag at the plate on Thursday night and then had runners tagged out at home on Friday night. On Saturday, Jon Jay was thrown out trying to go from first to third on a great throw from right fielder Norichika Aoki.
"I love how aggressive Oquendo is at third base," Matheny said. "He knows the game. He knows the situation. He's very in tune with what's going on. I never have an issue when we have a play like that.
"He's very seldom wrong, too," he said. "With nobody out you don't see him making many mistakes. When there is one out, two outs, we're at the bottom of the order, let's take a chance."
First-base coach Chris Maloney moved to third on Sunday, and Bengie Molina was the first-base coach.

The Bright Side of Life
As I worked my way into a food and football coma yesterday I did spend a little time talking markets and stocks with some folks.
An associate pointed out to me that although I have often referred to the downward changes in Value Line rankings, I had never written about the upward changes in the ranking system. I have to confess I am guilty as charged. I look at the positive changes, but not as deeply as the downgrades. Value Line is based on momentum and trends in earnings and stock price and I do not usually pay much attention to momentum stock picking efforts. Momentum turning negative has always been of higher interest since it helps avoid potential problems....539 more words left in this article.

With a rareoff weekend in his racing schedule, he looks forward to attending theTennessee event named after the block he helped design.
"I am both honored and excited to be named the Grand Marshal for thevery first GM Performance Parts LSX Shootout," said Johnson. "Helpingwith the design of the LSX block has been one of the most rewardingprojects I have ever been involved with, and I'm extremely pleased tosee the tremendous response it has generated in the automotiveaftermarket since we introduced it at last year's SEMA show.
"This inaugural LSX Shootout promises to have it all. Both on and offthe track, it should be an exciting display of the very best the LSfamily has to offer, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

"WJ'sreputation speaks for itself in the hot rod community, and it is onlyappropriate that the man behind the design of this tremendous block beon hand for this inaugural event.
"We are thrilled that The Professor was able to take time from hishectic racing schedule to take part in the festivities, and we lookforward to having him there.

Top 100 Classic Rock Songs
Do you ever find yourself bored with Top 100 Classic Rock Songs lists that are dominated by the same handful of bands? Well, we've put an interesting twist on the format here at Ultimate Classic Rock — you'll still find all of the expected legends, from Aerosmith to ZZ Top, as our countdown unfolds over the coming days, but each band only gets one song on our list.
It's a high-stakes poker game of sorts; everybody puts their best hand on the table, and then we run down the rankings. We'll be counting down our list throughout the month, and our hope is to spur twice as much conversation with each post: "Was the right song chosen to represent each artist or band?," and "Was that song slotted in its proper place?"
Of course, this twist also means that all but one song from even the most legendary of bands won't be represented. The amazing thing is, even after allowing 100 different bands onto the chart, there were still dozens of "how can _____ not be included?" discussions to be had at our planning meeting.
So, this may start a lot of fights, but we can at least promise you it won't be boring, and we hope you enjoy our unique take on the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs of all time!

An Interview with... Dr. Steven F. Swaim
Steven F. Swaim, DVM, MS, is a professor emeritus at the Department of Clinical Sciences and the Scott-Ritchey Research Center at Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine. He has received numerous professional, teaching, and research awards including the 1999 AAHA Veterinarian of the Year Award. Dr. Swaim is the coauthor of Small Animal Wound Management.
What is the most exciting change you've seen in veterinary medicine?
Three dogs stand out:
Who inspired you most in your career?
My parents were both teachers, and my dad was also a coach and a farmer. I thank them for laying down my spiritual and academic foundation and for helping me develop my work ethic.
Dr. B.F. Hoerlein was my mentor and a second father figure. His support, guidance, and help with my veterinary career are greatly appreciated.
And words cannot express my appreciation for my wife for her support and love. In addition to typing and helping me proofread almost everything I have written over the years, Marj has picked up the slack many times and made it possible for me to proceed in the profession.
What would you advise a new graduate?
After receiving your veterinary medical degree, explore the profession and find your area of primary interest, then figure out how to progress within that field. Finally, proceed with enthusiasm.
My parents gave me a plaque with this quote attributed to Charles M. Schwab: "A man will succeed at anything about which he is really enthusiastic."
What book would you recommend?
The Bible. It has been the operator's manual for my life.
What book are you reading now?
Wakan Man by Fredrick W. Boling. It's about two Scottish immigrants, twin brothers, in the Wyoming Territory in 1866. One brother is a missionary, and the other is a surgeon in the U.S. Army. Studying the Old West, especially Native Americans of the Old West, has been a hobby of mine since I was 11.
What music would you include in your personal jukebox?
I like easy-listening or instrumental music (my sons call it elevator music) playing as I work. A student once asked me during surgery if it was true that your music preferences change as you get older. I told him that they often do. I don't know if he was disappointed or not.
What part of your work do you enjoy most?
First, I enjoy teaching veterinary students, technicians, and veterinarians. The enthusiasm veterinary students express when they complete a surgical procedure has helped keep me enthused over the years.

All Hail the Movie Date: Summer Movies We Can't Wait to See
On labor and delivery: "My dad is a midwife, so I grew up hearing all these stories. I was so scared of sex! He'd show me every possible venereal disease and say, 'I delivered a 14-year-old's baby today.' When I was a senior in high school, I helped him deliver two babies. In fact, I want my dad to deliver my baby--what a great story that would be for my child to tell, that his grandfather brought him into this world. Though obviously, my wife would have to be okay with it!"
On sex and dating: "As a guy, a lot of your job is defining what the relationship is before anything physical happens. You have to talk about expectations and where this is going, and let the other person know what you want. Being a man is a lost art--most men don't have a clue. It's being responsible for a woman's feelings, getting outside of your immediate animal needs and caring about where the other person is coming from."

The new Ghostbar is just part of a $50 million renovation that's been going on at the Palms, revamping a casino that has hosted MTV reality shows and Hugh Hefner.
Once a trendsetter in a city where that means everything, the Palms had grown a little stale, mired in debt. Some thought it wouldn't survive the economic crash. But investment bankers from Texas and Los Angeles took over as majority owners under a company named F.P. Holdings, LP. Sacramento Kings owner George Maloof dropped to a 2 percent interest, although his name remains on the sign, and he has maintained a seat on the board with a 10-year management contract. The new ownership restructured more than $400 million in debt, opening the way for the renovations. The Palms, once again, is showing signs of life.
Here are five things that have happened in the past year, giving you a reason to revisit the Palms:
New rooms
New rooms in the original ivory tower literally have bedroom eyes. The eye murals running across the wall above the beds have a captivating style to them. They were designed by Klai Juba Architects, a Las Vegas firm that has handled renovations at Mandalay Bay and the Hard Rock casino. The rooms also feature upgraded Technology and comfortable beds. They carry a reasonable price tag, as low as $69 with discounts, even on some weekend nights. Like most places in Las Vegas, you'll pay $300 or more on the busiest weekends.
A dramatic rebuilding of the center casino bar features an eye-popping entry with columns of lights and an emphasis on whiskey: more than 30 labels, single-malt scotches, limited-edition bourbons and whiskey cocktails. The seating is plush and the bar is kind of relaxing, even though it's in the middle of a noisy casino. It's a great place to start the evening or have a nightcap.
More high-rise watering holes
The View and Scarlet are two new lounges that carry the same great views. The View is where the former Playboy Club used to be, between the Nove Italiano restaurant and Moon Nightclub. Pool and shuffleboard are now the activities of the night. Scarlet is smaller, featuring new cocktails from Bartender Hall of Fame mixologist Francesco Lafranconi.
Named after Hera, the goddess wife of Zeus in Greek mythology, the new sports bar aims to attract women with good food and a party atmosphere and features a wall-to-wall LED display for the big games.
Familiar Tastes
If you want something more familiar while away from home, you can find it in the casino and the food court. Chocolat Bistro, which started five years ago in San Diego, offers crepes, gelato and, of course, rich chocolates. The food court's Chronic Tacos, a favorite that began in Newport Beach, is next to Earl of Sandwich, popular at Downtown Disney. The latter really is run by the family of the guy who popularized the sandwich in the 18th century.

Hi all
Sorry for not having read the whole thread.
Personally, I think it is best to think of the essential [*]wrong [*] view. So the view that deeds do not bear fruit, actively holding to it, promoting it to oneself and others, is essential wrong view. Having the right view, unshakably, that deeds do bear fruit feels different to me, somehow. I know there are times I doubt it, and that certainly doesn't make me feel that I'm not a good Buddhist, it is just natural moments of doubt that will almost certainly continue to arise for me. So there will not be unshakable right view of even that level.
But that isn't to say that there will be the wrong view that acts in a belief that there are no fruits to one's deeds, that is certain there is no rebirth so acts in a morally depraved way with no fear of the consesquences.
So it seems to me that moments of not-having right view do not equal moments of having wrong view. I am more concerned about not having wrong view than I am about having right view, because having right view, unshakably, is to be an Ariyan. I don't have Ariyan aspirations, personally. (See other thread.) I don't know if that makes any sense.

New For 2013
The Insight is unchanged for 2013 after receiving a refresh for 2012.
Toyota might have aimed for its diminutive Prius c hatchback to be the least expensive hybrid vehicle sold in the United States, but that title once again goes to the Honda Insight. It rings in at an impressive $19,290 this year, about $400 less than the much smaller Prius c and thousands less than the Civic Hybrid. There's a reason for the Insight's lower purchase price. It uses the old (but no less powerful) hybrid system, with a nickel-metal-hydride battery to store energy (the Civic Hybrid now uses lithium-ion) and a 1.3-liter in-line four to the Civic Hybrid's 1.5-liter engine. Fuel economy, at 41/44 mpg city/highway, nearly matches the Civic Hybrid's but doesn't reach Prius or Ford Fusion levels. Inside, the cabin is an appealing mixture of Civic, Fit, and first-generation Insight, with effective ergonomics, intuitive controls, and lots of nooks and crannies for storage. The exterior design, which was slightly changed for the 2012 model year, continues for 2013 and keeps the car's futuristic look and shape. All in all, the Insight brings a simple, price-minded attitude to a crowded market, and it should appeal to buyers who've been intrigued by hybrids but didn't think it made economic sense to purchase one—until now.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags are available, as are ABS, traction and stability control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
You'll like:
- Good gas mileage
- High value for the dollar
- Familiar Honda interior
You won't like:
- Wind and road noise
- Mediocre ride quality
Key Competitors For The 2013 Honda Insight
- Ford Fusion Hybrid
- Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
- Toyota Camry Hybrid
- Toyota Prius
Sum Up
The original hybrid gets a little more green.

Anglican Communion
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the most senior bishop of the worldwide Anglican Communion - a first among equals ("primus inter pares") amongst fellow bishops.
The Anglican Communion is, along with the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Church, one of the world's largest global Christian denominations. It has around 85 million members, spread across 38 Provinces in more than 165 countries. Each of these Provinces is autonomous, with its own system of governance. The most senior of the bishops or archbishops in each Province are known as "Primates".
The Anglican Communion is not held together by a formal constitution or international church law, but rather by a shared heritage, by ways of worshipping and by the relationships—the "bonds of affection"—between its members worldwide. These are strengthened when Anglicans meet, informally and at such formal gatherings as the Instruments of Communion. President of these Instruments is the Archbishop of Canterbury who acts as a unique focus of unity.
The Archbishop of Canterbury also plays a leading role in nurturing the interdependent life of the Anglican Communion by visiting Provinces, convening meetings, facilitating initiatives, and contributing to theological reflection.

Where Is the Bottom for Apple?
Now that Apple (AAPL) has broken through the $500 level, many are wondering where the bottom is.
Apple bear Jeff Gundlach has a price target of $425. I have to give credit to Gundlach. He's been right as rain since September with his bearishness as the stock has fallen to $486 from $705. (In fairness, Gundlach first became very bearish against Apple back in the $500s before it ramped up to its all-time high and then started coming down again. Nobody remembers that now, so Gundlach's call looks spot on.)...323 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Ryan Horch, Kapitall Markets reacted negatively to the uncertainty surrounding Italian elections on Monday. The S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq were all down around 1% at the close. The root of this decline came from a senatorial election in the Euro Zone's third largest economy, which showed no party holding a majority.
If parliament remains split, Italy's ability to maintain its reform policies will be called into question. This could endanger the stability of the Euro as a whole. The Euro fell against the Dollar following the news to $1.31.
Another result coming from the non-result in Italy was a 25% increase in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). The VIX is commonly known as the "fear index" since it's a measurement of expected volatility for the 30 days to come. The VIX closed around 18, which is still a relatively low value, however if Italian electoral woes continue it is possible that the VIX may continue to rise.
Investing Ideas
Keeping in mind this jump in the VIX, we decided to run a screen for large cap stocks ($10B+), for stability, with high VIX readings in case Italian politics continue to drive the "fear index" up. Stocks with a high VIX typically outperform when volatility and fear spikes. This means that with more uncertainty in the market, these stocks tend to perform well.
Do you think a majority will be elected to parliament in Italy calming any additional uncertainty surrounding the Euro? Or will fractured politics jeopardize the stability of the European economy? If the latter occurs, this list may be a good place to start for investing ideas.

NORTHWICH will show off its new look with a Christmas party on Friday, November 30.
The Christmas lights switch-on ceremony will take place in the new location of Brunner Court this year, after a festive parade along High Street and Witton Street.
Schoolchildren bearing lanterns, nativity characters and a real donkey will star in the parade, which leaves the Bull Ring at 4.30pm.
They will be led by a samba band and will arrive in the refurbished Brunner Court, by Northwich Library, in time for the Christmas tree lights to be lit by town mayor Clr George Mainwaring at 5pm.
Father Christmas will also be there with his friends from the Rotary Club of Northwich Vale Royal.
A carol service will be held after the ceremony.
Clr Stuart Parker, Cheshire West and Chester Council's executive member for culture and regeneration, said: "Northwich's Christmas celebrations promise to be bigger and better than ever this year.
"Following the completion of the first phase of the Witton Street public realm improvements, the transformed Brunner Court is a fitting new home for the town's Christmas tree and wider festivities.
"I would like to thank local businesses for their patience during the improvement works and urge residents to show their support by 'shopping local' this Christmas.
"Businesses will remain throughout the lights switch-on celebrations so people can get their Christmas shopping off to a great start."
The pupils taking part are from Witton Church Walk, Victoria Road, Sir Charles Darwin and Great Budworth primary schools.
The celebrations have been jointly organised by Cheshire West and Chester Council and Northwich Town Council.
Northwich's town mayor Clr Mainwaring said: "This will be a community event and a wonderful opportunity where schools and community groups can come together and celebrate the beginning of Christmas, please come and join us on the day. Everyone is welcome."
• SHOPKEEPERS – do not forget that a Guardian photographer will be in the town centre on Friday afternoon taking pictures of Christmas windows for a competition.
We are running the window dressing competition in conjunction with Northwich Town Council for the second year as part of the Save Our Shops (SOS) campaign.
Last year's contest, decided by reader votes on our website northwichguardian.co.uk, was won by The Sweet Shop, in Witton Street.
This year our photographer will be patrolling Witton Street from its junction with Church Road down through High Street to the Bull Ring, as well as Leicester Street and the Weaver Square area, including Witton Walk, Market Street and Market Way, taking pictures of festive window displays.
These pictures will be posted on our website by Wednesday, December 5, and voting will begin on northwichguardian.co.uk.
The deadline for votes will be Wednesday, December 12, and the winner will be announced in the Northwich Guardian on Wednesday, December 19.
The winning trader will receive a framed certificate courtesy of the Guardian and a bottle of something special courtesy of Northwich Town Council.

Sanctuary Cove: Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie says Australia are "playing catch-up" leading into their first Test against France this weekend.
McKenzie is wasting no time as a result, going off a combination of Super Rugby form, incumbency and gut instinct to name his first team of the season on Tuesday, just two days after the squad assembled on Queensland's Gold Coast.
"We haven't got enough time [to wait any longer], we have to get on with it," he said.
"We have a finite number of training sessions and the French have been here since the middle of last week.
"They're missing a couple of players but they still have 24 players who've been in camp since before they came here and they've been in [Australia] since the middle of last week.
"In that sense, we're playing catch-up."
McKenzie acknowledged the strong performance of the Waratahs, Western Force and Brumbies this season had made picking 32 players to use in the series very difficult.
But he also said the weekend's results, in which NSW humbled the Chiefs and the Brumbies gave the Rebels plenty of homework, had validated his selections.
"The squad we've picked reflects really good form across all the teams in Super Rugby, which I'm pleased about," McKenzie said.
"Since we've announced the squad [10 days ago], it's been confirmed to me that we picked the right guys so that will make selection really difficult.
"[In] the team that I announce, there will be good players that will miss out."
One of the toughest selections will be at halfback, where long-standing incumbent Will Genia is under massive pressure to retain his spot.
Nic White (Brumbies) and Nick Phipps (Waratahs) emerged as potent challengers over the past five or so rounds of Super Rugby, before Genia pulled out the game of his season against the Highlanders on Friday.
"Unluckily for me, it's going to be a tough day at the office when we finally sort it out," he said of some of the selection quandaries.
"That's a good situation for the Wallabies, it's tough on individuals, but the way performance works is that performance gets you in but it's performance that keeps you there. So, if you get a chance, you have to deliver."
Genia's Reds teammate James Horwill has also been under a cloud but, with regular second-row partner Rob Simmons and three uncapped players rounding out the squad's second-row stocks, it is difficult to imagine McKenzie benching the 48-Test Queenslander.
Wycliff Palu is tipped to get the nod over the Force's Ben McCalman for the important No.8 jersey, with Rebels captain and No.8 Scott Higginbotham named as a No.6 in the squad.
Elsewhere, in-form NSW teammates Bernard Foley and Kurtley Beale will duel it out for the No.10 jersey, with Brumbies five-eighth Matt Toomua expected to be named at No.12, the position he played alongside Quade Cooper before injury hit on the spring tour.
"Getting the team named and sorted so we can get on with it and maximise every minute of training to give ourselves the best chance to play well, it's a challenge," McKenzie said.
Possible Wallabies team: Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tevita Kuridrani, Matt Toomua, Nick Cummins, Bernard Foley, Nick Phipps; Wycliff Palu, Michael Hooper, Scott Fardy, James Horwill, Rob Simmons, Sekope Kepu, Stephen Moore (c), James Slipper.

In 2002 (I think) Adnams commissioned artist Chris Wormell to produce a series of hand-printed lino cut illustrations for a press and poster campaign, 'Beer from the Coast'.
I loved this campaign. At the time it launched, 'provenance' was a big buzz word in beer advertising. We drink Fosters lager because it's Australian, Stella because it's, um, 'European', Corona because it's from somewhere sunny, and so on. Every big ad agency I worked with believed you couldn't 'do' English provenance effectively, because ours was a country that no one aspired to, that no one yearned for or wanted to be closer to.
Adnams proved that if you take it down to a regional level, that's not true. This campaign captured a neverland, a timeless ideal of the English coast that spoke to the hearts of people who grew up here. Of course the coast isn't like that in reality, but Adnams' unique advantage was that where they're based, in Southwold, the coast really is like that. These posters subtly brand the coast and claim it for Adnams, creating a powerful brand that has really helped this small regional brewer punch above its weight these past few years.
Now, The Illustration Cupboard is hosting an exhibition of the lino cuts - and they're for sale! The exhibition runs 13th August to 12th September, perfectly capturing the sinking late summer sun. I'm gutted that I can't make the opening event tomorrow - but I'll be there the day after.

USC coach Lane Kiffin said Friday he was unaware athletic director Pat Haden made a video where he announced he supported Kiffin, "100 percent."
Haden said, "I anticipate the media will ask me if our football coach is on the hot seat this year. ... he is not."
Later, Haden said, "He's a dynamic playcaller in my estimation. I firmly believe we'll bounce back strong."
Haden's video was a preemptive strike before Friday's Pac-12 media day at the Sony Pictures Studios Lot in Culver City. Haden did not attend media day because he is on vacation.
"I didn't know there was going to be a video," Kiffin said. "Obviously it's a positive, not a negative. I'm not surprised by it because I deal with Pat (and school president Max Nikias) on a daily basis."
Some noted in jest that Haden's announcement that he is 100 percent behind Kiffin is 50 percent less than last November when he said, "Lane is my head coach, 150 percent."
Kiffin to call plays
In a move that was anticipated, Kiffin said he decided to call plays this season. During spring practice, Kiffin said he would consider giving up those duties to pay more attention to the entire team.
But he decided to remain the Trojans' playcaller for the fourth straight season.
"I made a decision that it's in the best interest of our football team for me to continue to call plays," Kiffin said. "We have a unique relationship with the skilled guys, offensive guys, it's important because you're communicating with them so much and I think there's an impact in recruiting."
That means offensive coordinator Clay Helton will not call plays despite his new title. Helton was quarterbacks coach last season.
Two quarterbacks?
Kiffin said he might pick a starter in a week or a month but he also did not rule out playing two quarterbacks to start the season.
"It's not ideal," Kiffin said. "But all decisions are made in the best interest of the football team. Even though I don't like it. I'm not going to say it never happens."
Kiffin said he did not know if he would redshirt freshman Max Browne if Browne does not win the starting job.
Running is priority
One thing Kiffin did in the off season was study tapes of last year's games to determine what made USC finish with a 7-6 record.
"In critical situations, there was an inability to run the ball," Kiffin said. "That impacts the whole game. When you add that to the unbelievable amount of turnovers we had, it really hurts."
USC picked third
The Trojans were picked in the media poll to finish behind UCLA and Arizona State in the South Division. Oregon was picked to win the North Division and win the Pac-12 title game.
"It's a total difference," wide receiver Marqise Lee said of the lower expectations from a year ago, when USC was selected No. 1 in the nation. "We still have to play the games though. Last year Notre Dame started unranked but went to the championship game."

Federal Budget Cuts Impact Cancer Care for Senior Citizens
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Those federal budget cuts triggered by so-called "sequestration" are impacting some of the most vulnerable cancer patients. As of April 1, Medicare payments are being cut for chemotherapy drugs, and experts say that could be very disruptive to older patients.
At the Comprehensive Blood & Cancer Center in Bakersfield, Dr. Ravi Patel told Eyewitness News oncologists must pay a fixed amount for the drugs, and the reduced payments aren't enough.
"It will cause a significant disruption," Patel said on Tuesday. His clinic will see the reduced payments in a couple weeks when they get reimbursements for cancer patients they treated as of April 1.
Under Medicare, community cancer clinics are reimbursed for chemotherapy drugs based on an "average sales price," plus an additional 6 percent for administrative costs like handling and storage.
But, under the budget cuts just triggered by sequestration, that administrative cost is being cut by 2 percent. Patel said oncologists already don't get enough reimbursement to cover the real cost of some cancer drugs, the added cut in the administration payment is critical.
"We have, year after year, been figuring out how to absorb the cost " Patel said. "But, you reach a certain point where it can be difficult to do it."
Across the country, some community cancer clinics are reportedly starting to turn away Medicare patients.
"In the absence of government action to stop the dismantling of community cancer care, practices signaled they will have no choice but to adopt emergency measures to deal with the sequester cut to cancer drugs," says a statement from three national oncology organizations.
The groups, and Patel said clinics could absorb cuts to payments for their services, but they can't cover the cuts applied to the "fixed, pass-through costs" of chemotherapy and other cancer-fighting drugs.
Patel said the average cancer practice sees some 100 to 200 patients a day, he also says more than 60 percent of cancer patients are on Medicare.
If the community cancer clinics can not continue treating the Medicare cancer patients, experts say these seniors will have to get care at hospitals instead.
"They have some slight leniency on the way they are reimbursed for drugs," Patel told Eyewitness News. "So, it is possible that maybe they can absorb the cost." Patel said CBCC works with the Dignity Hospitals in Bakersfield, and they'll work together to see that the patients get care.
But, Patel also hopes there could be an exemption for the sequestration cut in Medicare drug payments. He wants the cuts reversed.
"It is worth it for us to do a letter-writing campaign," Patel urged. He wants legislators and Congressmen to be alerted that the change will cause a hardship on patients.
Patel said anyone interested in getting more information on the letter-writing campaign can call the CBCC office at 862-7120.
Dr. Patel said CBCC is developing a package for their patients who will be affected by the Medicare payment changes. And, he promises those people will get help.
"The patients, understandably, are very fearful about this, and they have to be," Patel said. "But, somehow, some where, we would make sure that the patients are taken care of."

A massive, well-organized boycott of the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show forced Reed Exhibitions to "postpone" the show that was set for Feb. 2-10.
No future date has been announced. The postponement affects 1,200 vendors and thousands of Easterners who planned to attend the Feb. 2-10 show in Harrisburg.
Hundreds of industry members, including Cabela's, and TV personalities such as Lee and Tiffany Lakosky announced they were boycotting the show after Reed Exhibitions banned the display of modern sporting rifles, or what some refer to as "military-style assault weapons." It's yet another example of how the current gun debate and controversy in the country has rallied a wide spectrum of gun owners into banding together.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation announced it has been in "intense, frank discussions with Reed Exhibitions management in an effort to reverse this unacceptable decision." But the NSSF said the the "discussions reached an impasse." And now NSSF is considering its future involvement with Reed Exhibitions.
That led the NSSF to issue this statement: "NSSF is in no way affiliated with, nor does it participate in or exhibit at this show in any way. Reed Exhibitions does, however, manage the NSSF-owned SHOT Show (though Reed manages the SHOT Show, all SHOT Show decisions, policies and actions are made at NSSF's direction).
Because of Reed's recent actions, NSSF is considering all options regarding the management of future SHOT Shows."
Hunter Safety: Fletcher Diehl is offering a two-day hunter safety class just in time for juniors and adults to get certified for their hunting license before turkey season starts in March. The classes are Saturday and Sunday. Call Diehl at (619) 448-6301.
Late Arizona buck: Corey Sanden, better known for his fishing prowess with the baits he makes, MC Swimbaits, has become a full-fledged archery hunter. Sanden picked up a bow for the first time in May, but after an unsuccessful bow hunt in Pennsylvania, where he shot a bit of fur and small chunk of belly fat off a very lucky deer, Sanden connected on a very large hen turkey in San Diego County during the fall hunt. And now he has his first archery buck, a fine 3x3 mule deer that he shot in Arizona during the late archery season. Sanden was on the last hour of his hunt with Ed Howerton of Spring Valley when he called the buck in with a Knight and Hale Pack Rack antler-rattling device.
Bass Tournament: The San Diego Anglers Open Bay Bass Tournament is Saturday on Shelter Island. There will be 150 two-angler teams competing for cash, with $1,500 going to the top team with the five heaviest bass. Tournament director Dwayne Patenaude said the competition part of the event is full, but the public is welcome to the free barbecue at noon. Weigh-in starts at 12:30 and goes to 2 p.m., with an awards ceremony to follow.
Boat Show: The San Diego Sunroad Marina Boat Show runs through Sunday on Harbor Island. Hours Friday are 12-6 p.m., 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Check www.bigbayboatshow.com
Cabo San Lucas: Very good fishing for yellowfin tuna, with a mix of wahoo and dorado for anglers venturing to Cabo San Lucas. The Conan Chang charter on the Fish Cabo reported 17 yellowfin tuna that averaged 30 to 35 pounds. The Gaviota IX reported three striped marlin released, 11 yellowfin tuna, two wahoo and three dorado in three days of fishing. Larry Edwards of Cortez Yacht Charters said the water temperatures are two, to three degrees cooler than normal off Cabo San Lucas for this time of year.

Loop drawings for smart instruments
Readers look to our experts for information on smart instruments
Q: I am looking for information on loop drawings for smart instruments and sample drawings. If you could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Paul Bulmer
A: Loop drawings for "smart instruments" are the same as for analog loops, except for the communication links between the components (Figure 1). The loop component symbols are given in ANSI/ISA5.1 (2009).
As to the need for loop diagrams, there is disagreement. In the view of American engineering design firms, loop drawings are not really necessary (are a luxury) because if the P&ID flow sheets are sufficiently detailed, then the information that the loop drawings provide can be obtained from the instrument index, specifications, I/O lists and wiring diagrams, piping diagrams, logics, cable schedules, etc. This view has evolved because the main goal of these firms is to minimize the number of man-hour-consuming documents, and thereby gain a competitive edge by tightening budgets through limiting engineering costs.
See Also: Going with the Flow
In other offices and in other parts of the world, such as Asia, the criterion is total cost, which includes not only design, but also operating, maintenance and insurance costs, and from that perspective, loop drawings are desirable because they make the loops easy to understand, as you do not need to look at several documents. Those firms consider the generating of loop diagrams valuable and use ISA5.4 as the basis, although it has not been updated for over a decade and does not give examples for fieldbus loops. For this group of engineers, it would be useful if ISA5.4 covered the protocols used; e.g., Foundation fieldbus, Profibus, Profinet, HART, Wireless HART, DeviceNET, ControlNET, ASi, etc.
So it seems that the main cause of the elimination of loop drawings is economic and can be short-sighted, because having them serves not only operational and maintenance convenience, but also can improve safety and thereby lower insurance costs.
Béla Lipták
A: Figure 1 shows the P&ID representation that I have been using based on latest version of ISA5.1, and Figure 2 is a sample of a segment diagram, which can be considered to be a replacement for the loop diagrams that I use when presenting certified training for the Fieldbus Foundation.
There is a trend toward using database-driven loop diagrams or their equivalent. This is well and good for the large facilities, however, there are far more smaller operations that continue to rely on the printed word or manually created CAD drawings for installation, commissioning and troubleshooting.

HAMPSHIRE wind Farm developers have suffered a second blow in a week with rejection of a scheme north of Winchester.
TCI Renewables planned six 130-metre-high turbines in Woodmancott Down, near Popham.
But the planning committee at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council last night voted eight to four to reject the plan.
TCI Renewables are expected to appeal.
Jonathan Moseley, of campaign group SOS Hampshire Downs, said today: "This is a victory for our priceless rolling Hampshire downland, local people and common sense. Our downlands are not renewable."
The rejection comes after a larger wind farm at Bullington Cross, proposed by EDF, was defeated by Basingstoke, Winchester and Test Valley councils.

BENSALEM, Pa. — Charming Shoppes reported that consolidated net sales for the first quarter ended April 30 were $504.4 million, compared with $504.8 million for the three months ended May 1, 2010. Net sales results included a 2% increase in comparable-store sales and an increase in e-commerce sales, offset by the impact of operating 139 (or 7%) fewer stores than in the year-ago period. E-commerce sales increased to $36.6 million in the first quarter, compared with $31.6 million in the year-ago period.
Commenting on the quarter, Anthony Romano, president and CEO of Charming Shoppes, said, "We are pleased to report year-over-year operating improvement in our first quarter, which was driven by a more fashionable apparel assortment and aggressive inventory management across all of our brands. Our 2% increase in consolidated comparable-store sales was driven by a 7% comparable-store sales increase at Lane Bryant, and sales through our e-commerce channel increased 16% for the quarter.
Net income on a GAAP basis was $26 million, 5.2% of sales, or 22 cents per diluted share for the first quarter, compared with net income on a GAAP basis of $3.9 million, 0.8% of sales, or 3 cents per diluted share in the first quarter of the prior year.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income per diluted share was 17 cents for the first quarter, compared with net income per diluted share of 4 cents in the first quarter of the prior year.

She passed away last month, a week before her 16th birthday, and was honored by getting the #1 jersey retired, the first ever jersey retirement in the history of the program. I thought that this was conducted very well, and was appreciated by her family, including one of the coaches.

Billings' versatility a big draw for A's
PHOENIX -- With less than a month until Opening Day remaining, the A's reassigned Bruce Billings to their Minor League camp Saturday, meaning he'll start the 2013 season at Triple-A Sacramento. But even without a 25-man roster spot with his name on it, Oakland still sees the right-hander as a valuable piece to their club moving forward because of his versatility and experience.
"He's depth for us. ... He's a guy who needs to stay ready over the course of the season because he can make an impact at any particular time," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He can pitch at the big league level -- he's just probably got a few guys ahead of him at this point. But he does have good stuff and he's versatile. We can start him or bring him out of the 'pen."
Billings made a few appearances with Oakland in 2012, but he spent the majority of the year in Sacramento, posting a 3.98 ERA in 133 1/3 innings as a starter. So far this spring, the 27-year-old has performed well, allowing one earned run over 4 2/3 innings.
"I'm just trying to get ready to play baseball and make whatever impression I can on the team," Billings said. "I want to be a positive influence in the clubhouse and be myself."
Even though the right-hander has gotten good results this spring, he is still tinkering with a few of his pitches while he can before he settles in later in March for final preparations for the year.
"I'm always messing with grips, always experiment with how you want to use pitches in certain situations," Billings said. "We're just getting ready for the regular season, so everything is just practice now. I didn't have my fastball command in my first couple outings; I was just kind of getting by with my stuff. But now we're kind of getting into the thick of camp, and I'm starting to feel more comfortable."

SANTA CRUZ -- A union mailer featuring Micah Posner gave the first-time Santa Cruz City Council candidate a big boost last month, campaign finance records reveal.
Posner was featured along with Mayor Don Lane, former Mayor Cynthia Mathews and former Democratic Party leader Richelle Noroyan on one side of the half-page postcard bought in October by the Service Employees International Union Local 521's independent expenditure committee. The other side featured just Posner.
"We thought of all our endorsed candidates that he needed the most help," said Jim Heaney, a Santa Cruz County building plans inspector who serves as chair of the union's committee on political education.
The $8,319 expenditure with a San Francisco direct mail firm for about 10,000 pieces represents the largest single expenditure made on behalf of council candidates by any organization through Oct. 20. No late-spending reports were filed by candidates or political committees for the period of Oct. 20 through Tuesday's election, and the next reporting period ends Jan. 31.
The union's spending may have helped Poser nearly match votes -- the margin is 83 -- with third-place finisher Pamela Comstock, who drew more support from the business sector, including the Locally Owned Business Alliance that also endorsed Lane, Mathews and Noroyan. That group's spending on a critical door hanger distributed late in the campaign won't be reported until after Jan. 31.
Heaney said the union chose to spotlight Posner because Lane and Mathews, who have served two and four terms on the council, respectively, had widespread name recognition. Noroyan, who was the only candidate endorsed by the union not to win a seat, has a number of political contacts.
With Posner vowing to stay within the city's recommended spending limit of $26,640, Posner said the union's investment helped.
"I could only really afford one fancy mailer," he said. "By people getting a full-color mailer, it helped people feel like I was serious."
Lane also agreed to the expenditure limit. Mathews, Comstock and Noroyan did not.
In terms of where council candidates drew support geographically, precinct reports from Tuesday's contest show Posner and Lane dominated UC Santa Cruz, where both earned bachelor's degrees. Posner's campaign manager, Jacqueline Seydel, has been a student there, and Lane has taught on campus.
Posner also got the most votes in the Beach Flats and areas around the Circles on the Westside. Lane performed well among Westside, downtown and Seabright areas that also voted in high numbers for Mathews.
Comstock was the highest vote-getter in DeLaveaga and the upper Branciforte areas on the Eastside, but also had strong support on the Westside.

Napoli gets some fielding drills in at first
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Mike Napoli started easing into his new job as Boston's starting first baseman by doing defensive drills for the first time during camp. The right-handed hitter had to wait a little bit to make sure his most recent MRI on his hips came back clean.
"He took ground balls after BP today, so we'll gradually build that up," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "Fifty ground balls at first today."
While Napoli's primary position has been as a catcher during his career, Farrell has already seen enough to think it will be a relatively seamless transition to first.
"He's got very soft hands," Farrell said. "Even when you watch him take BP, his movements are smooth. We're confident that he's going to be a very good first baseman."

A cold front has blown in for the Northeast and has me longing for the stuff of summer: swimming at the lake, fireflies, s'mores. It will be a good long while before I'm in front of a fire pit armed with marshmallow for roasting, but my desire for hibernation doesn't necessarily need to conflict with my yearning for s'mores—especially when I can make s'mores bars easily at home.
Cereal bars are forever linked in my mind with pure nostalgia. They're the stuff of bake sales and elementary school celebrations. Turns out Golden Grahams are a bit of a divisive topic around these parts. I can't help myself, I love 'em. They were one of the few "sugar cereals" my mom would occasionally allow into the house. I've made some highfaluting "Indoor S'mores" before, using fancy chocolate and homemade marshmallows, but sometimes you just want an easy fix and these bring me straight back to the lunchroom.

Baylor ambassadors, led by Judge Starr, head to D.C.
A surge of green and gold swept Washington, D.C., last week, as Baylor President Ken Starr led a group of Baylor representatives (both administrators and students) to the nation's capital for a week of events.
Highlights of Judge Starr's D.C. trip included continued discussions with Baylor partners Georgetown University and the well-respected Gallup Poll; meetings with legislators such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky; hosting a roundtable discussion on American foreign policy and faith-based organizations; the annual meeting of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (Starr is an NAICU board member); and the National Prayer Breakfast.
Meanwhile, a select group of Baylor students, known as the Baylor Ambassadors, met with more than a dozen legislators, including Texas' own U.S. Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and Representative Bill Flores, and members of the Texas Congressional Delegation to encourage support of the Pell Grant, issues with Pell eligibility, research funding and increasing student worker opportunities. Four of the students also were honored to participate in the wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Monday and Tuesday nights, the Baylor delegation joined D.C.-area alumni for Baylor Sports Network watch parties to cheer on the Baylor Lady Bears and Bears in nationally televised games. (Baylor alums have found a great gathering place at Crystal City Sports, which has hosted watch parties for football and basketball this year.)
Judge Starr has noted that, as a research university with a strong Christian commitment, Baylor has a distinct role — and a responsibility to offer insight into the issues affecting our students, our country and our world.
Sic 'em, Bears in D.C.!

A Whimsical Vintage Wedding
A Whimsical Vintage Wedding
We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Knot.
Kristin and Jon wed in a beautiful chapel ceremony at Penn State University followed by a reception at the school's Beaver Stadium. The vintage details give this wedding a cozy, homespun feel even in a large, empty stadium. The bride's style is fierce, and her bold Oscar de la Renta wedding dress perfectly complements her pink Christian Louboutin shoes and the bright accents at the reception. This wedding is perfect inspiration for the sports enthusiast with a retro style.

CLEARLAKE -- A Clearlake woman was arrested on child endangerment and domestic violence charges after authorities allege she drove drunk with her young son in the car following a fight with the boy's father Saturday night.
Sandra Lee Gonsalves remained in custody at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility Monday morning.
Clearlake Police were dispatched to Meadowbrook Drive about 10:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a drunken woman trying to leave a home with her 5-year-old son in the vehicle, Sgt. Nick Bennett stated.
As officers neared the residence, they saw a speeding vehicle leave the scene, Bennett stated.
They caught up to the vehicle several blocks later and determined the driver was intoxicated with the 5-year-old inside, the sergeant added. Gonsalves, 42, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and child endangerment.
After further investigation, officers found Gonsalves was involved in an altercation with the boy's father earlier that evening, Bennett stated. The man showed visible signs of abuse, leading to an additional charge of domestic violence against Gonsalves, the sergeant added.
Bennett alleged the man, Gonsalves' ex-boyfriend, had a warrant out for his arrest, so he was also taken into custody. The man's name was not released because Clearlake Police believe he was the victim of domestic violence.
The child was released to relatives' custody after both parents were arrested, Bennett stated.

Plus New MOTU Photos From The Show...
As announced at Power Con (see our story HERE), a Castle Grayskull play set is in the works from Mattel. An essential component in the original Masters of the Universe toy line, this long-awaited icon is will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, October 16, exclusively through MattyCollector.com. Castle Grayskull will be priced at $250. Mattel states:
If produced, Castle Grayskull will feature:Because its still in its very earliest stage, the final design is subject (and likely) to change. Why are we offering it for pre-order now and asking you to make a commitment when the design hasnt been finalized? Because the production cycle for an item like this takes over a year and is extremely costly. If we dont reach the minimum pre-order goal by November 10th, we cant go forward.
* Ideally, the set will include everything shown in the B sheet product drawings above, but please remember these are working drawings and arent final yet.
* If produced, this will be the largest, most ambitious MOTUC item ever made the dimensions are expected to be somewhere around 25h x 26w x 28d (subject to change).
* The overall sculpt will be based on the original 1981 prototype, with the addition of an extra battle ledge, elongated jaw/face, a removable minaret on top of the dome and more!
* Just like the vintage toy, it will be a two-sided foldout but there will be three levels to show off your MOTUC figures (in scale with most of our 6.5 figures). The vintage set only had two levels, but weve added another across the top for maximum display options.
Two secret doors the first, a traditional door that opens out the back, and the second one, a secret brick wall that exits to the outside ledge.
* Trap door leading to the dungeon (of course) that has an opening door, plus locks and chains to hold one figure.
Throne fits most 6.5 MOTUC figures
* Bat wing jet pack and training device were both cut from the vintage prototype and finally get a chance at production
* Working elevator like the 81 prototype had, but Mattel added back the red skull on top that was cut. The elevator goes to all three levels, not just two levels like vintage toy.
* Real opening Jawbridge
* Have Wind Raider? The playset will include an attachment so you can be ready for air-battle at a moments notice (and create a complete diorama).
* Secret Orb room is hidden inside the dome.
* Removable ladder to the roof leads to a blaster and the flag of Castle Grayskull.
* Carrying handle is optional for easy transport or clean display.

Shares of Fushi Copperweld (FSIN) are up 20% year to date, having been up only slightly for the year when Muddy Waters Research labeled the company a fraud risk in April. That had sent the stock down substantially. Muddy Waters has had success in the past identifying fraudulent Chinese companies and tends to draw a significant reaction in the market when it releases a report. The stock has since more than recovered, with a state-owned lender providing enough capital to execute a transaction that will acquire all Fushi Copperweld shares for $9.50 apiece, a small premium to Wednesday's closing price of $9.29. According to its most recent 10-Q, a vote on the transaction (which is technically a merger) will occur Dec. 11. The board has recommended that the transaction be approved.
The producer of wires and cables with copper coatings has seen business stagnate. In the third quarter, revenue was down slightly from the same period in 2011, continuing a trend from the first half of the year. In addition, operating expenses were up substantially, and so the company's earnings slipped 14%. Some of this was probably due to weaker Chinese growth (about 80% of Fushi's sales are to Chinese customers). Cash flow from operations plummeted in the first nine months of 2012: $16 million vs. $40 million in the first nine months of last year. Fushi reported a total of $218 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet.
That compares very well with the company's market capitalization of about $360 million. If we look at Fushi's enterprise value in relation to its reported EBITDA, we get an EV/EBITDA multiple of 2.8x. Even if the company's numbers haven't been doing particularly well recently, that represents a very low valuation. Of course, we can't really evaluate any fraud concerns, and we'd note that the most recent data shows that about 10% of the outstanding shares are held short.
Still, any shortfall in the reported numbers would become China's problem as investors would receive a small premium on the current price. That's another point that we can't really evaluate -- if anything, the biggest risk to a deal may be current investors who are convinced that Fushi is operating a legitimate business and so would be eager to keep the company publicly traded. Certainly if the company could somehow convince the markets that this is the case, we'd expect the stock to trade considerably higher than 3x trailing EBITDA.
We calculate that investors could get a 2.4% unlevered return if they were able to buy the stock at $9.28 and the deal closes at a price of $9.50. We're not sure when a transaction would actually close; if it took place six months from today, just to give an example, the annual return (again, unlevered) would be 4.86%. While the deal may well be less risky than other merger-arbitrage situations, we don't think that return is high enough to recommend participating.

Overall, disappointed about how my season ended, 35-21 3rd in my division, just made the second round where I was easily defeated
I had a very good off season and Westbrook has exceeded all my expectations and beyond and Lee Starting for the Magic was a added Bonus and he should get better with age, Love his Defense and Hustle.
Guess my season was dominated by Bogut going down, just never got a good C rotation going after that and lost to many games being slow with my amendments..
Haddadi sucked, shouldnt have ever dropped Pryzbilla but I thought Odom would be better than he was Guess that could have saved my year, not dropping Pryz but such is life
I am very happy with my core for next year, Bogut, Howard, Kirilenko, Stuckey and Westbrook, Lee should keep showing signs of All Star potential, I just would like a good back up C during the off season and hopefully draft well again..
Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
Looks like I'll be exiting from the play-offs now.

Weatherford stands by vote to establish Florida Polytechnic
Earlier this week, House Speaker Will Weatherford seemed to indicate he regretted his vote last year in favor of establishing Florida Polytechnic University. When asked to clarify recent statements, Weatherford said he essentially had no choice but to go along with then-Senate budget chief JD Alexander's push for the university, but stands by the decision.
"I voted for it, we all voted," Weatherford said today. "It was the budget. We didn't have a budget without Polytech. I think that was abundantly clear, and I think we all remember that process very well."
Weatherford told the Tampa Tribune's editorial board Tuesday that Polytechnic's creation was a "disaster." He later clarified his comments in an interview with the Lakeland Ledger, saying he was referring to recent reports that the school would be asking the Florida Legislature for an extra $25 million. The school has now indicated it will no longer request the additional cash. The Legislature couldn't afford that request anyway, Weatherford said. …Full Story
