Guest blogger Emily Warn is co-owner of Two Pens, which provides blogging services and teaches business how to write content that grows a social media following.
My writer friends think I'm a geek. You can do what?! I can create a spreadsheet with book sales numbers that can be sorted by name and number. I know that is only the first rung of Excel Geek-dom, and unlike my compatriots, I aspire to climb into the ranks of those who know how to create snazzy charts and perform other formatting feats. Perhaps I'll be able to brand myself as a writer who plays with numbers.
I don't want to show off so much as make my data tell a story by presenting it visually. That way even my writer friends can see, and so analyze, which author is booting the others off the bestseller list.
Earning geek bragging rights just got easier with the new Quick Analysis feature in Excel 2013. It lets you transform your data into visual formats really easily.
How to find and view Quick Analysis
When you select a range of data, Quick Analysis appears in the lower-right corner of your data set:
Click it and you'll see options for converting your data into visual forms: charts, tables, sparklines, and formatting. (Another option lets you calculate totals.)
Using the Chart Option
For this exercise, we'll focus on using the Chart option and use a sample spreadsheet of book sales by 19th and early 20th century authors. (I chose forever deceased authors in the public domain to avoid copyright issues.) Here is the imaginary sales data for their books from 2009-2011:
I select all the data, click Quick Analysis, and then choose Charts:
There are lots of choices here. Which chart will best show the authors' sales rank relative to another author's for three different years? I hover over each type of chart to see how it presents my data. I settle on the Clustered Column chart because I like how it shows year-to-year sales data per author.
Obviously, in 2009 students were snoozing, but by 2011 the ancients had caught on-across the board. (A country of readers instead of tweeters?)
I click on the chart to add it to my spreadsheet. My choice does not irreversibly muck up my spreadsheet if I decide I don't like it later. I can delete it, open Quick Analysis, and try again.
Recommended Charts
There's another reason that I could choose the optimal chart so quickly: the options that Excel displays are based on the types of data in your spreadsheet. For example, you'll notice that Quick Analysis didn't recommend a pie chart. Why? There would be too many slices (authors) to create a meaningful picture, and that shape is difficult to relate to sales per year.
If you need more help choosing a chart, click More Charts. In the Recommended Charts box, it explains why you would use one chart over another.
Other Quick Analysis Options
The way you work with the other Quick Analysis options–formatting, tables, and sparklines–acts much the same way. You can read this article Analyze your data instantly to learn more or just fool around. That's how geeks like me do it.
–Emily Warn

Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever.
What's yours?
I love this movie too! Christmas Vacation is another favorite of mine and, of course, A Christmas Story. Charlie Brown is also a must this time of year.
I completely agree with you! I think this movie is hilarious. Fortunately, my daughter shares my ridiculous sense of humor and she loved it when I showed it to her this year.
I laugh through the whole movie... From start to finish and I repeat most lines and usually giggle prior to the super funny ones. LOVE IT!

HOUSTON - A West Texas family is grateful for a Thanksgiving miracle this year.
Their baby girl, Audrina Cardenas, was born with a rare congenital abnormality, called ectopia cordis, in which the heart is located partially or totally outside the chest.
Only eight in every 1 million babies are born with it and 90 percent of those do not survive.
Thanks to early diagnosis and the quick action of a team of medical specialists in the Texas Medical Center, little Audrina will live to see her first Thanksgiving holiday.
Her mother, Ashley Cardenas, told Local 2, "It's amazing! You know, every day I thank God, you know, for her, for her being here."
Audrina was diagnosed at 16 weeks gestational age.
Cardenas and her family live in Odessa and their physician referred them to Texas Children's Hospital, where a team of specialists came up with a plan to save her baby.
TCH Surgeon-in-Chief Dr. Charles D. Fraser told Local 2, "It's really strange I have to say, and I've looked at a lot of hearts! (In Audrina's case,) the tip of the heart is turned up ... so what you're actually seeing is about a third of each ventricle is outside, which is a significant part of the heart."
Born full term via cesarean section on Oct. 16, Audrina was immediately rushed into a six-hour surgery to correct the problem.
Now, five weeks after surgery, Audrina is recovering in the NICU, getting stronger every day. She is the longest living baby in Texas to have been born with this rare condition.
Fraser added, "Right now what we have over the heart is skin and a bit of muscle, so she doesn't have a breast plate like we have. So, someday, we're going to have to do an operation to provide a more durable protector over the heart because she's going to want to do the things that children do."
Cardenas said, "She's made it this far and I know within time, (we) just have to be patient, and within time, she'll be home. She'll be home with our family."
Cardenas tells us her hope is that Audrina will be home in time for Christmas.

During the past two weeks we've covered the world of men's professional golf and the local Lake County golf scene. On this, the final weekend of 2012, we're going to tie up the loose ends and view a host of other things that occurred somewhere between the first tee and the final green.
Women's golf remains a great show even if the LPGA Tour doesn't come to Northern California and even though approximately half of the circuit's events are contested outside the borders of the United States. The women's tour has had a hard time adjusting to the retirement of Annika Sorenstam, its top draw, with the short-lived career of Lorena Ochoa, and with the baffling slump of Yani Tseng. Tseng started the 2012 season on fire, winning three times by March. Yet the 23-year-old with 15 career titles and five major championships was a total non-factor throughout much of the year. She missed three cuts, finished beyond the top 25 all but four times, and didn't make an impact at the four majors.
Into the void stepped 27-year-old Stacy Lewis, who became the first American woman to win the LPGA Golfer of the Year award since Beth Daniel did so way back in 1994. Lewis played in 26 tournaments, finished third on the money list with just less than $2 million in earnings, and won twice in Alabama, once in New Jersey, and also in Japan to lead her tour with four victories. Sun Yung Yoo won the Nabisco (Dinah Shore), Shanshan Feng captured the LPGA, Na Yeon Choi won the U.S. Open, and Jiyai Shin took home the British Open trophy in a year of parity on the women's circuit. Michelle Wie graduated from Stanford University in the spring, dedicated all her time to playing women's professional golf, and had her worst season ever. She played in 23 tournaments, winning less than $160,000, and finished 64th on the money list.
Two female amateur golfers, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and business woman Darla Moore, made headlines by becoming the first women to be admitted as members to the Augusta National Golf Club. Designed by Allister Mackenzie and amateur great Bobby Jones, Augusta has been the longtime host of the Masters. As a golfing club, it has a longtime legacy of bigotry and backward thinking. It's good to see that the green jacket gang is inching ever so close to the 21st century. Next on the golfing horizon is the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, those fine folks who maintain the birthplace of golf, coordinate the worldwide Rules of Golf, and host the British Open annually. The R&A continues to be mired in the 19th century and has exactly zero female members, a condition of its longtime by-laws.
I'm always intrigued by those tournament-concluding moments in professional golf where someone in contention misses a putt on the final green and finishes just out of first place. Invariably, the announcer states that the missed putt cost the runner-up something in the range of $400,000. Personally, I never really feel too bad for the loser as he walked away from the tournament with something in the neighborhood of $800,000 added to his bank account.
On the flip side of the coin is a now concluding history of the PGA Tour's Q School qualifying tournament that was first contested in 1965 and was played for the final time earlier this month at PGA West in Palm Desert. It used to be great golf theatre to watch unknowns and has-beens down the stretch of the six-round marathon. They weren't playing for millions or for glory, but instead they were playing for their golfing lives. Get through Q School and you are teeing it up, at least on the range, with Tiger on your right and Phil on your left. Fail to advance through Q School and you are relegated to playing another season on some faraway mini-tour circuit, teeing it up in Minot or Dothan or Wausau instead of Pebble Beach or Torrey Pines. With the newly revamped PGA Tour schedule, Q School will become a distant memory.
The 2013 season on tour will be a one-shot-wonder flex year. The PGA Tour begins next week in Hawaii and will conclude in late September with the playing of the Tour Championship in Atlanta. From that point on, every season will conclude at the Tour Championship, the fourth and final event on the Fed Ex Cup playoff calendar.
Beginning in October of 2013, the PGA Tour season will no longer be a calendar affair. Instead, taking a page from the European Tour, the tour will run from October of 2013 through September of 2014 (the European Tour runs from December through November). The relatively unimportant Fall Series tournaments will now be the kickoff of a new season, with the 2013-14 year beginning at CordeValle outside San Jose for the playing of the Frys.com Open. The tour will go to Fall Finish locales such as Las Vegas and Sea Island, will move the Mexico tourney from the spring to the fall, and expand to the Far East with events in Malaysia and China. The European Tour has effectively brought golf to the far corners of the globe and the inclusion of China and Malaysia on the PGA Tour calendar is a farsighted one on the tour's part to expand its product.
New players to the tour will no longer be Q School grads but will instead have honed their games on the Web.com Tour or come from a new qualifying tourney that will run concurrently to the Fed Ex Cup playoffs for golfers outside the tour's top 125 and the Web.com's top 25. It simply won't be the same with those rags-to-riches stories that permeated Q School.
Finally, in the ultimate rags-to-riches moment of 2012, senior Roger Chapman, a 53-year-old who won once on the European Tour during the course of a 20-year career, had two banner moments. He won the Senior PGA Championship in May at Harbor Shores and topped it off with a U.S. Senior Open triumph at Indianwood in July, winning both times by two strokes over a stellar field. The state of Michigan, site of the Senior PGA and Senior Open, was very good to Roger Chapman.
And there's our final review of 2012. When we next meet, it will be a new year. In the meantime, I will have teed it up for three rounds of golf in two days at Bandon Dunes with my son Nick as well as well as gone to nine-hole gem Arbuckle Golf Club for the Last Demaret. Best wishes to you and yours for a most prosperous new year.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Chevron ( CVX) is a company that can report a drop in earnings and revenue and yet still see its stock price move higher. But that move up isn't a plus on the dividend front.Shares closed at $120.04 on Friday, up $1.53 or 1.29%, with an intraday high of $120.41 on lower-than-average daily volume. That moved the dividend yield to below 3% when the share price ranges between $120.30 and $120.41. The yield-to-price drop is why many investors including myself are more heavily weighted in companies like ConocoPhillips ( COP), which offers a 4.5% dividend yield when COP shares trade at nearly $59. Chevron's payout ratio regarding its dividend yield is a modest 26%, which offers the hope that the company can raise its current annual dividend from $3.60. COP's payout ratio is higher than CVX's at 39%, but this is still considered a manageable and sustainable ratio level.
The following price chart of the five-year history of CVX stock has been embellished by lines demonstrating its trailing 12-month revenue per share and its diluted quarterly year-over-year EPS growth. CVX data by YCharts
Thanks in part to the company's generous dividend-paying policy and its rising revenue per share, the stock has traded since the beginning of 2011 in a range between $90 and $121. The 10-year chart below illustrates colorfully the magnificent ascent of CVX stock to its current all-time highs. CVX data by YCharts
Chevron reported a profit Friday morning of $6.18 billion, or $3.18 a share. This was down from $6.47 billion or $3.27 a share from the same quarter last year. The company said the most recent quarter included net charges of $439 million, compared with $504 million a year earlier. The second-largest energy company in the U.S. said Friday that its daily oil production in North America was about the same as the prior-year quarter at 455,000 barrels. The company said on its earnings call that production went down about 2.5% at its international sites to 1.3 million barrels a day. Sales and other operating revenue in the first quarter of 2013 were $54 billion, down from $59 billion in the year-ago period, mainly due to lower prices for crude oil. A contributing factor to the rising streams of revenue and EPS is Chevron's natural-gas business. The company reported that it sold close to 10.6 billion cubic feet of gas daily in the first quarter. That is a 3.2% increase over the year-ago. The price of natural gas in the U.S. rose 25% to an average of $3.11 per 1,000 cubic feet, the company said. Friday's closing price for natural gas was around $4.15, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil closed at $93.36, down 28 cents. Capital and exploratory expenditures in the first three months of 2013 were $8.9 billion, compared with $6.4 billion in the corresponding 2012 period. "The amounts included approximately $453 million in 2013 and $361 million in 2012 for the company's share of expenditures by affiliates, which did not require cash outlays by the company," Chevron said. During Friday's call, Morgan Stanley's Evan Calio asked about the longer-term capital expenditure and cash-return strategy that Chevron expects going forward. He said he was asking in "... the context of my view Chevron's relative free cash flow inflection in 2014, '15 time period, as you begin to see the cash benefit of these relatively heavier and current period of capital investment." Calio continued: "And the question hence becomes, do you believe that when you likely have incremental cash during this period, the cash returns to shareholders via buybacks or dividends increase or that you see additional reinvestment opportunities in the portfolio to maybe replicate this '14 to '17 growth period. How do you think about that?" Chief Financial Officer and Vice President Patricia E. Yarrington first addressed the sizable queue of projects Chevron has developed and how those projects are focused on the company's belief that "... the best way over time that we create value for our shareholders is by making the right investment choices."

LOS ANGELES, Calif. This year, 15% of elementary schools students will start school with a new laptop, 13% will have computer accessories, and 10% will receive a new cell phone or smartphone, according to a report by PriceGrabber. Last year, 7% received computer accessories and 6% had a new cell phone or smartphone.
PriceGrabber said it expects clothing purchases to increase across all age groups. Eighty-five percent of back-to-school shoppers plan to purchase clothing for elementary school students this year, compared with 78% last year, according to the report. In 2010, 82% plan to purchase clothing for middle school students, compared with 77% in 2009. Eighty-four percent plan to purchase clothing for high school students, up from 74% in 2009. This year, 60% of shoppers are buying clothing for college students, compared with 47% last year.
"The trends we are seeing in shoppers' back-to-school clothing purchases this year indicate that although they continue to be focused on budget-minded spending, older students in particular are expanding their wardrobes which would indicate a shift towards discretionary clothing purchases. This demonstrates consumers are feeling more confident about the economy this year than last," stated Laura Conrad, president of PriceGrabber.

In a major management shake-up at fractional provider NetJets, company founder, chairman and CEO Richard Santulli on August 4 unexpectedly resigned, effective immediately. Credited as the "father of the fractional aircraft industry," Santulli said he plans to remain with NetJets as a consultant for at least a year.
Santulli acquired Columbus, Ohio-based Executive Jet Aviation in 1986 as a platform upon which to launch NetJets, which initially struggled but grew substantially by the mid-1990s. Berkshire Hathaway chairman and billionaire Warren Buffett, a NetJets shareowner, was so impressed with Santulli's NetJets that he bought the firm in 1998 for $725 million and, per Buffett's custom, kept the company management in place.
"After 25 years of working with the most talented group of people I could ever have imagined, who helped build the premier aviation company in the world, I have decided to step down…to spend some more time with my young family and pursue other interests," Santulli said in a statement. "I want to personally thank everyone at NetJets for all of their tireless energy, intelligence and support throughout all of these years."
David Sokol, the chairman at Berkshire-owned MidAmerican Energy Holdings, was named chairman and interim CEO of the fractional provider "to allow for a smooth transition." In a press release announcing Santulli's departure, Buffett said, "It is with reluctance that I accept Richard's decision to step down. Richard Santulli is synonymous with the fractional jet ownership industry, and his vision and energy have made NetJets the leader that it is today."
Speculation about whether or not the company founder left of his own volition was rampant in the immediate aftermath of the announcement, and several sources told AIN at the time that NetJets' finances might have been a factor. On August 7, just three days after Santulli resigned, Berkshire's second-quarter results were released–and they weren't good.
According to the Berkshire report, NetJets' second-quarter revenues fell 43 percent year-over-year to $550 million and for the first half dropped $1.024 billion, or 42 percent below the same six-month period last year. Worse yet, the fractional provider sustained pre-tax losses of $253 million for the second quarter and $349 million for the first six months, compared with gains of $192 million and $255 million, respectively, in the same time frames last year.
As if that weren't bad enough, Berkshire said that NetJets owns more airplanes than it requires for its present level of operations "and further downsizing will be required unless demand rebounds." Two reliable sources estimate that NetJets has more than 130 aircraft in its unsold inventory, although neither the Berkshire report nor NetJets itself would say just how many excess airplanes there currently are.
Industry insiders also said that Santulli was protective of employees to the point that it might have interfered with rightsizing measures during this recession. There have been no announced layoffs at NetJets; the other three major fractionals have all had several rounds of layoffs since last fall. NetJets has, however, implemented voluntary work reduction programs for NetJets pilots in the U.S. and Europe, but these measures alone apparently didn't significantly staunch the flow of red ink.
After barely a week at the helm of the fractional provider, Sokol reshaped the management structure. Most notably, former Executive Jet Management (EJM) president Ben Murray was promoted to president and COO of NetJets Inc., making him Sokol's right-hand man. Also promoted was Bill Noe, the former NetJets International (NJI) president, to NetJets North America president, where he oversees EJM, the company's charter arm; NJI, a fractional provider of Gulfstream jets; NetJets Aviation (NJA), the Columbus, Ohio-based U.S. fractional arm; and NetJets Large Aircraft (NJLA), a fractional provider of Boeing Business Jets.
Jim Christiansen remains president of NJA but now reports to Noe; previously, Christiansen reported directly to Santulli. Mark Booth and Bill Kelly will continue to head NetJets' European and Middle Eastern divisions, respectively. Booth and Kelly report to Murray.
Meanwhile, a knowledgeable source told AIN that Sokol is moving forward with plans to consolidate NJA, NJI and NJLA operations at NJA's facility in Columbus, and to move NetJets' headquarters from Woodbridge, N.J., to Columbus. NJI's current operations center is in Okatie, S.C.; NJLA has two ops facilities in Connecticut. According to the source, this consolidation will likely result in layoffs in administrative and executive staff, some of which took place before press time.
However, a NetJets spokesperson told AIN that NJI's ops center will stay in Okatie and said NJLA is "already in Ohio." The spokesperson did confirm that NetJets' headquarters will be moving to Columbus.

Shares of Vical fell 57 percent Monday after the San Diego company said it ended development of Allovectin, its flagship therapy for metastatic melanoma, because it failed a Phase 3 trial.
Vical closed at $1.53, down $2.05 from Friday's close.
The biotech company had been working on Allovectin for nearly 20 years, Chief Executive Vijay B. Samant said in a Monday conference call with analysts.
Allovectin was intended to stimulate an immune response, which would then destroy the cancer in melanoma patients. But Allovectin unequivocally failed to meet its goal of proving superiority over chemotherapy, Samant said in the conference call.
"We're very deeply disappointed with the results announced this morning, that our Phase 3 trial of Allovectin failed to meet either the primary or secondary efficacy endpoints," Samant said. "We believe the results are clear and conclusive, with no margin for alternative interpretation.
"Allovectin simply did not provide the expected benefits. We do not see a feasible path forward for Allovectin, and we are therefore terminating the program."
Eric Schmidt, an analyst with Cowen & Co. in New York, said in a note to clients Monday that while the company is testing other drugs, investors have "a lack of confidence in Vical's pipeline candidates and a frustration with the slow pace at which Vical's DNA-based gene delivery platform has advanced."
In the conference call, Schmidt asked Samant if Vical is considering going out of business.
"It's been well over 20 years that Vical's been working on DNA-based delivery technology, and still no major successes to show for it," Schmidt said. "When you and the board discuss the potential future of the company, will you include in that discussion things like basically winding down operations ... and give that cash to shareholders?"
No, Samant replied, because Allovectin's failure was specific to the melanoma vaccine, and had nothing to do with the DNA technology itself. For example, he said, Vical's DNA-based flu vaccine shows signs of efficacy equal to conventional protein-based vaccines.
"Some of our preclinical data on our herpes simplex 2 vaccine is the best we have seen," Samant said. "So the answer is no. We are committed to this platform, we're committed to advancing the programs into the pipeline, and we'll be open to other opportunities."
Earlier in the conference call, Samant said Vical is optimistic about a cytomegalovirus vaccine now in Phase 3 trials. Vical and partner Astellas Pharma announced the trial's launch in June.
The vaccine is intended for those receiving transplants of hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells. These patients are vulnerable to infection due to a lack of a functioning immune system.
Vical said in a statement on the failure that as of June 30, it had cash and investments of $70 million, enough to last at least until the end of 2014.

OROVILLE — In the end, Kahliel Wyatt took care of things on both ends of the court, and because of that the Oroville High boys basketball team is in the final of its own Dennis Burnum Classic Tournament.
The Tigers edged Mesa Verde 52-51 Friday night as Wyatt grabbed the offensive rebound after James Jones' driving attempt didn't fall and converted the put-back try as the seconds ticked down.
"He's a good driver, always looking to get to the hole," Wyatt said of Jones. "I just followed him on the rebound. We just practice hard, and do what the coach says and it always end up working out."
If that wasn't enough after Wyatt missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 5.9 seconds remaining, he raced down court and blocked the Mavericks' last-gasp try of a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
"Kahliel is one of those special kids. We have a lot of special kids on this team. He's able to use his physical abilities to his advantage a lot of the time," Oroville coach Rob Anderson. "I told him the rebound and put-back was huge obviously. I didn't say anything about the block because I think he already knew that was big."
Wyatt finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks, and every one of them was needed Friday.
Eric Laster had 11 points as well for Oroville (12-2), and James Anderson added 10 points as a reserve, including eight in the second quarter as the Tigers rallied past the Mavericks in the period.
With the victory, Oroville plays Casa Roble for the championship at 5:30 p.m. today. The Rams (10-4) beat Red Bluff 47-46 in the other semifinal Friday.
"It's special," said Anderson, an Oroville alumnus who couldn't remember the last time the Tigers reached the championship of the Burnum Classic, in its 21st year. "This is something I'm going to remember for a long time, and I think the kids will, too."
They had to fight to the end as Mesa Verde (11-4) took a 43-42 lead at the third-quarter buzzer on Darius Woods' put-back.
The margin was never much for either side throughout the game — Oroville led 28-22 at halftime — but Sidhu Manveer's basket and a Bret Lynch free throw made it 46-42 in favor of the Mavericks early in the fourth quarter. Lynch finished with 24 points, but no one else from Mesa Verde had more than seven.
Marcus Wilhite's put-back and two Laster free throws tied the game again, this time at 46.
Another Wyatt basket made it 50-47 for Oroville.
"The kid has the ability to find the basketball in key moments and he's done that for us pretty much all season," Anderson said.
Lynch answered to get the Mavericks within 50-49 with 1:57 left in the game, and he then gave them the lead with another basket at 51-50.
Mesa Verde had a chance to increase the margin, but a turnover gave the Tigers the ball with 24.7 seconds left, setting up Wyatt's theatrics.
Las Plumas 67, Paradise 58
The Thunderbirds advanced to the consolation final as Ronnie Osby and Eric Maturino each scored 13 points and Cameron Sabatino added 12.
Osby also had nine rebounds, as did Jess Little, who scored nine points.
Thunderbirds guard A.J. Cahee was a handful with five points, five assists and five steals.
Las Plumas plays Lassen at 2:30 p.m. today, and Paradise gets Gridley in the seventh-place game, set for 1 p.m. today.
For the Bobcats (1-10), Preston Hardin and Jonathan Dixon each scored 12 points. Andrew Nakamoto had 10 points. Ronnie Sinclair added nine points, all on 3s.
Lassen 73, Gridley 51
Wyatt Martin scored 25 points, including six 3s, and Daniel Perry had 14 of his 18 points after halftime as the Grizzlies' 49-point second half nearly matched Gridley's game total.
The Bulldogs actually led 29-24 at halftime but couldn't keep up with Lassen's shooting. The Grizzlies were on target for much of the second half, even ending up with a perfect 10 of 10 on free throws.
For Gridley, Quinn Spring scored 24 points, and Shobi Khan had 12 of his 14 points in the first half. Samuel Cota added nine points.
Keith Rose also had 10 points for Lassen, which gets Las Plumas at 2:30 p.m. in the consolation final.

They say it runs in three's I wonder who is next. Rip Tom. What a great shooter.
They say it runs in three's I wonder who is next. Rip Tom. What a great shooter.
... because every picture tells a story
Wow that is very unfortunate I've always looked up at him as a top notch shooter ill always remember getting up on Saturdays in the morning as a kid wirh my dad watching throw like 9 clays or something like that up and bust'em all. Very sad to hear this
Mr. Knapp always seemed a gentleman. He was a great entertainer and shooter and will be missed.
Too bad. I didn't think he was all that old? I loved watching him on tv when I was little. He inspired me to become the best I could with a shotgun.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
I was fortunate enough to see him perform 10 years ago. RIP Tom Knapp
Don't know how I missed this one. Very sad! How old was he?

INDEPENDENT candidate Martin Surl has been elected Gloucestershire's first ever Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
The 54-year-old former superintendent prevailed in a closely fought contest, defeating his nearest rival, the Conservative candidate Victoria Atkins, by 4,247 votes.
Mrs Atkins, a criminal barrister from the Cotswolds, won the largest number of first preference votes, with 28,422 ballots being cast in her favour compared to the 27,676 for Mr Surl, 13,741 for Labour candidate Rhupi Dhanda and 8,663 for the Lib Dem hopeful Alistair Cameron.
However, because she failed to obtain an overall majority under the supplementary voting system, second preference votes were counted and Mr Surl emerged victorious.
He won 8,910 of the second preference votes, considerably more than the 3,970 claimed by Mrs Atkins.
Once the first and second preference votes had been added together, Mr Surl was left with a winning total of 36,586 votes compared with the Tory candidate's 32,339.
In his acceptance speech, delivered at Stratford Park Leisure Centre in Stroud where the count took place, the ex-police officer said it was a 'tremendous honour' to be elected Gloucestershire's first ever PCC.
Mr Surl, who retired from the force in January after 32 years service, said he would stand up for the interests of everyone in the county and not just those who voted for him.
"I stood as an independent and I will represent all of those who voted for me, all of those who felt the need to spoil their ballots, all of those who didn't vote and all of those who voted for another political party," he said.
In total, 80,618 people turned out to vote in the election - a figure equivalent to 17.1% of the Gloucestershire electorate.
Of those 2,115 spoilt their ballot papers - a higher proportion than in most elections, suggesting that a significant number of people chose to do so intentionally in order to register a protest vote.
In a statement released following Mr Surl's victory, Gloucestershire Constabulary's Chief Constable Mick Matthews said: "I would like to offer my congratulations to Martin Surl on his appointment to the new role of Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire.
"Today marks the start of what I am sure will be a strong working relationship between the Constabulary and the Commissioner to deliver our purpose of keeping people safe from harm and inspiring the highest levels of confidence in us, their local police.
"The Constabulary is committed to working positively with the PCC in the future to ensure the focus remains upon delivering a police force that best serves our communities in Gloucestershire."

Folks are busy shopping for great bargains, the market closes early today, and there is probably some pumpkin pie left in the refrigerator so why shouldn't we have upbeat market action this morning? All is well, and traders are running up a few stocks to bank quick gains.
Breadth is very strong, with 3850 gainers to just 1050 decliners, and all major sectors in the green. Precious metals have come to life and are attracting speculative interest for the first time in a while, and biotech and even semiconductors are active again. Research In Motion (RIMM), Nokia (NOK) and some of the other long-term laggards are catching bids.
Trading is a bit frenzied this morning as traders worry that they are missing out. I wish I had a little more exposure here, but I'm still in thinner small-cap names such as Perion Network (PERI), Security National Financial (SNFCA) and Impac Mortgage (IMH). My stops are very tight and I'm inclined to err on the side of taking gains early.
I suspect that next week the mood will become more mixed as the fiscal cliff issue arises again, and European problems fail to go away. For now, we might as well enjoy the holiday spirit.

Irish winger Shane Monahan will make his first Heineken Cup start of the season as Gloucester Rugby prepare for the visit of Munster Rugby to Kingsholm on Saturday evening (kick-off 6pm).
Monahan's return is one of a number of changes that Director of Rugby Nigel Davies makes to the side that started against Saracens last weekend.
In the back line, Jonny May moves from the left wing in to outside centre and Dan Robson gets the nod at scrum half.
Meanwhile, in the pack, Yann Thomas and Darren Dawidiuk are selected at loose head and hooker respectively while Gareth Evans, will start at number eight.
Evans replaces Ben Morgan who has battled to overcome a knock picked up against Saracens, and who will line up amongst the replacements. Also back in the matchday squad for the first time in several weeks is Tongan international Sione Kalamafoni, back after injury.
After two wins in the Aviva Premiership, Gloucester slipped to defeat at home to Saracens last week, which was a setback according to Davies.
"It was disappointing, because even though we're nowhere near where we need to be, we've been competitive in matches in the majority of cases.
"So, we've worked through that, and the players have acknowledged that they didn't put in the performance that the shirt and the supporters deserve. We've got a lot to do this week to make sure that everybody sees that the shirt, the venue, the supporters mean everything to this group of players."
Munster currently lead pool six by five points from second placed Gloucester. So, a Munster win will all but clinch top spot.
However, a win for the Cherry and Whites would keep things very much alive.
"At the end of this weekend, we'll all have a clear idea of what we need to do. We're still in with a chance, we need to win obviously and that's a priority. But our main priority is to make sure that we turn up and put in a performance.
"More than anything else, it's about staying tight as a group. We're the only ones who can put things right. I've been pleased with the way the boys have reacted this week. They've been open and honest and driven themselves hard."
Gloucester: Martyn Thomas; Charlie Sharples, Jonny May, Billy Twelvetrees (capt), Shane Monahan; Freddie Burns, Dan Robson; Yann Thomas, Darren Dawidiuk, Sila Puafisi; Elliott Stooke, James Hudson; Matt Cox, Matt Kvesic, Gareth Evans.
Replacements: Huia Edmonds, Dan Murphy, Shaun Knight, Tom Hicks, Sione Kalamafoni, Tavis Knoyle, Rob Cook, Ben Morgan

Today's featured dessert is not a new offering; Dessert Club Chickalicious' Pumpkin Dough'Ssant ($5) has been available since summer. And although it technically falls into the category of a Cronut imitator, it manages to distinguish itself in at least two key areas. One, it's baked not fried. And two, all eight flavors are (usually) available every day.
The Dough'Ssant is about three great texture experiences: baked laminated dough, vanilla pastry cream, and a thick ring of flavored glaze on top. The laminated dough layers are still quite heavy even though they're not deep fried (there's still a lot of butter in there!), but Chikialicious strikes just the right balance of dough and pastry cream so each bite has a bit of both. The same smooth, flavorful vanilla cream goes into all of the Dough'Ssants.
The glaze on top isn't really a glaze at all—it's a massive layer of pumpkin pie frosting. There's a different form of frosting on each Dough'Ssant, but this pumpkin frosting replicates the flavor and texture of a real pie—complete with graham cracker crumbs on top.
Beyond pumpkin pie, the Dough'Ssant is available in the following flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Oreo Cookie, Meyer Lemon, French Vanilla, Dutch Apple Pie and Crème Brulee.

|Different Takes on Familiar Wakes
| How two experienced
sailors are giving a neglected barge, and themselves, a new life on well-known
By Jeanine Detz — October 2001
Every time someone visits me in New York for the first time, I discover something new in the city I have known for more than 20 years. Sometimes it's a great restaurant just a block away from my apartment, but often the reward is much greater, like the penguin room at the Central Park Zoo. It's easy to become numb to your hometown's treasures, but spend a day pretending you're a tourist and you'll definitely see them in a different light. If your home is a small European country, it's all the easier.
Northern Belgium, or Flanders, is an area with a flat but picturesque countryside and cities rich in history, architecture, and art, where meandering rivers such as the Leie, Schelde, and Meuze as well as intricate canal systems connect charming towns to medieval cities. As beautiful as the area is, five years ago there were no Belgian charter boats. The waterways were well-traveled, but the traffic consisted primarily of tankers and sluggish barges hauling cargo. Surely this country that has more than 400 beers and at least one chocolate shop in every town is an ideal place to vacation. Maurits and Olga Karreman thought so and figured water was the best way to do it.
Experienced sailors on commercial vessels for more than a decade, both had plenty of time under their belts on most European waterways. Although neither had ever worked on a passenger ship, they've ended up making their living doing just that. In 1997, after months of research and business plans, the Belgian couple determined to buy a barge, refit it to carry passengers, and start their own charter operation on the waterways of their home country.
A year later the duo found their baby: a 30-meter (about 98-foot) freighter built in 1928. Her history includes 50 years transporting sand and gravel, a deliberate sinking during WWII to prevent her seizure by the Germans, and 20 years docked with her cargo areas filled with junk collected by her retired owner.
The ship's metamorphosis began with the replacement of all of her underwater plating. Only the original frames were kept to retain the hull's shape. Next the cargo areas were transformed into four cabins and the original captain's quarters were remodeled to become a galley and the owners' private apartment. The creation of dining and adjacent seating areas completed the work below. Outside, a deck with overhangs and an enclosed pilothouse with an added seating area were constructed. Finally in 1999, after 14 months of work, Olga and Maurits Karreman christened De 4 Vaargetijden ("four sailing seasons" in Dutch). She has been carrying passengers, instead of cargo, through the same waterways she traveled more than 50 years ago ever since.
When I first stepped aboard Vaargetijden on a Monday evening last May, she was docked in the harbor of Oudenaarde, a small Belgian city a 11š2-hour drive west of Brussels. With her bright red hull and shiny white deck, it was hard to imagine her workhorse past. Photographer Robert Holland and I were greeted by Boef, the boat's resident sheepdog, and then led below to our accommodations by Maurits.
Each cabin is simple and clean, with twin bunks, a dresser, and an en suite head. A casual ambiance is intentional: The owners wanted their floating home to retain her freight barge heritage. Brass accents combined with ample use of wood result in unpretentious spaces where you can imagine anyone being comfortable. I sure was as I quickly nodded off to sleep that evening.

I've just got wired I-net and phone package for Business from Comcast, but I was about to connect 2nd computer on my office network, when I discover the absence of long enough ethernet cable. Borrowed from associate old cable(white), but it wasn't up to task. this one is easy to install and delivers high speed of data exchange between router and auxillary work place.

The Fresenius Biotech subsidiary will be discontinued.
The company is in talks with several parties about a sale of Fresenius Biotech, while simultaneously assessing the equally viable option of continuing the immunosuppressive drug ATG-Fresenius S within the Fresenius group. ATG-Fresenius S has been well established in the hospital market for decades, and is consistently profitable. Fresenius will divest the trifunctional antibody Removab (catumaxomab) business. The final decision on how to proceed will be made in the first quarter of 2013.
In the first nine months of 2012, Fresenius Biotech's sales increased by 15% to EUR26 million. ATG-Fresenius S sales grew by 14% to EUR22.5 million. Removab sales rose by 22% to EUR3.3 million. Fresenius Biotech's EBIT was -EUR15 million (Q1-3 2011: -EUR19 million). For the full year 2012, an EBIT of about -EUR25 million is expected. Withdrawing from Removab will have a positive effect on Group earnings starting in 2013.
Fresenius Biotech received the only Europe-wide approval to date for a monoclonal antibody developed in Germany when the European Commission approved Removab in 2009 for treating malignant ascites. The company subsequently obtained reimbursement approvals for Removab from the national health care systems of several European countries, providing the opportunity to expand marketing of the drug.
With ATG-Fresenius S, Fresenius Biotech offers a polyclonal antibody that has been used since 1981, for both organ and stem-cell transplantation.
Fresenius will focus on the attractive growth opportunities of its four core business segments, which have grown strongly over the last years and offer outstanding prospects. Between 2001 and 2011, Group sales increased from EUR7.3 billion to EUR16.5 billion, and Group net income from EUR93 million to EUR770 million. For the full year 2012, Fresenius expects sales1 of more than EUR19 billion, corresponding to an increase of 12% to 14% in constant currency. Net income2 is forecast to exceed EUR900 million, an increase of 14% to 16% in constant currency.
1 Previous year's sales were adjusted according to a U.S. GAAP accounting change. The sales adjustment of -EUR119 million in the first three quarters of 2011 and of -EUR161 million for the full year 2011 solely relates to Fresenius Medical Care North America.
2 Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA - adjusted for a non-taxable investment gain (EUR34 million) and potential special charges (up to EUR17 million) at Fresenius Medical Care as well as for one-time costs (EUR31 million) related to the offer to the shareholders of RHON-KLINIKUM AG. 2011 adjusted for the effects of mark-to-market accounting of the Mandatory Exchangeable Bonds and the Contingent Value Rights.

text: Utah's recruiting weekend paid off with commitments from two linemen, Salesi Uhatafe and Lowell Lotulelei. However, there are still several recruits the Utes are after who are undecided. Here is a rundown of the players the Utes are still recruiting. Gaius Vaenuku, Uhatafe's teammate, is undecided but with Uhatafe and teammate Sam Tevi committing to the Utes, you have to like Utah's chances of landing the defensive lineman. The Utes are also after Sese Ianu, a defensive tackle out of Golden West College, Deon Hollins Jr., a linebacker out of Missouri, Texas, Kenneth Santa Marina, an offensive lineman out of New Orleans, Micah Thomas, an athlete out of Galena Park, Texas and Kylie Fitts, a defensive lineman out of Redlands, Calif. The Utes are also dipping into the south to recruit receiver D.J. Polite Bray and his teammate, lineman Joshua Outlaw, out of Lithonia, Ga. It is notable that the Utes are battling UCLA for several of these players. Hollins Jr., who visited Utah two weeks ago, is said to have all but made his commitment to UCLA official after his weekend visit. The Utes were an underdog in the battle anyway, but moved up in Hollins Jr.'s estimation after his visit to Salt Lake City."It far exceeded my expectations," he said of his visit two weeks ago to Utah. "The whole feel of the place was great. A lot of guys look at Utah as a weirdo place so I didn't know what to expect, but I liked them a whole lot." Defensive lineman Kylie Fitts, out of Redlands, Calif., also tripped to UCLA this weekend and is expected to visit Notre Dame and Utah before announcing his decision. Safety Tyler Foreman out of Encino, Calif., committed to UCLA on Sunday after his visit, ending Utah's hopes of landing him. - Lya Wodraska

Hechavarria lands on DL, gets time for triceps to heal
PHILADELPHIA -- The middle of the Marlins' infield took another hit on Wednesday, as the team placed shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria on the 15-day disabled list. Hechavarria, whose right elbow soreness has kept him out of the lineup since Saturday, returned to Miami on Tuesday to have an MRI exam that revealed a right triceps strain.
Hechavarria's neighbor on the diamond, second baseman Rafael Furcal, has been on the DL since Sunday with a Grade 3 hamstring strain and will be sidelined for a significant amount of time. But Marlins manager Mike Redmond anticipates Hechavarria will be ready on or close to the day he's eligible to return.
"We're hoping it's just the 15 days," Redmond said. "But it's going to be on him and how he feels. It's just going to take a little time for that to calm down and it to get healthy."
In a corresponding move, the Marlins recalled infielder Donovan Solano from Triple-A New Orleans.
"I think [Ed] Lucas will play most of the games at shortstop, but Solano's played over there a little bit as well, so we do have some flexibility there with both of those guys able to cover that position," Redmond said.

FREEDOM - Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies arrested a 26-year-old Salinas man late Wednesday night after he was spotted in a stolen truck.
A deputy driving on Freedom Boulevard just before midnight spotted a blue pickup in the parking lot of a Quik Stop. As the officer neared the truck, the passenger and the driver both got out and took off on food toward Compton Terrace.
With the assistance of Watsonville police officers, the deputy tried to catch up with the pair and a perimeter was set up.
Eventually, another deputy spotted Roger Martinez Pajimola, who matched the description of the driver, walking on Freedom Boulevard and was able to apprehend him.
The truck was determined to be stolen out of Salinas, although one of the license plates was traced back to a different car, deputy April Skalland said.
Inside the truck, deputies found a piece of someone else's Fed Ex mail, boxes of motor oil and other stolen items. They also found a shaved key in the ignition. Skalland said Pajimola also admitted to being part of a criminal gang. The passenger was not apprehended.
Martinez was arrested on suspicion of committing mail theft, possessing stolen property, possessing burglary tools and participating in a street gang. He was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail.

Big summer ahead for stand-up paddlers
April 6, 2012
The next step in the South Shore's stand-up paddle revolution is coming this summer. Chris Brackett and family, who own and operate South Tahoe Stand-Up Paddle, are already planning events around the sport.
"This last season, amazing things happened with the race and the Wednesday night thing," Brackett said. "With all that growth last year, I'm just looking at where we can go."
Last summer, Brackett started the Wednesday night stand-up paddle series at Regan Beach, which saw rising popularity throughout the season. The last race had more than 100 competitors and hundreds of spectators. This year, the weekly event will be held at Lakeview Commons (aka El Dorado Beach).
Brackett, along with son Jared Brackett, is also planning the South Shore's first World Paddle Association-sanctioned race, Race the Lake of the Sky, on June 30 and July 1. The competition will include team relays, youth races, open races and a distance race to Emerald Bay. And, with his snowboard background, Brackett has invented a new discipline, SUP Cross, to premiere at the event. SUP Cross, similar to boarder cross, will have competitors starting out of a custom-built gate and racing through a series of zig-zags.
"This is brand-new," Brackett said. "We're the originators of the whole idea."
Two of the best stand-up paddlers, Candice Appleby and Anthony Vela, are already slated to appear at the Race of the Lake of the Sky. Appleby and Vela will be hosting a workshop prior to the race.

The race, as well as the Wednesday night series, is exactly the kind of use Stan Sherer, director of the South Lake Tahoe Parks and Recreation Department, hopes to see at the city's new lakefront park.
"I've looked forward to partnering with them for a while," Sherer said. "He really has the best interests of the community at heart."
Brackett started South Tahoe Stand-Up Paddle two years ago after selling just two stand-up paddle boards. Since then, it's brought their family together.
"My sister and I would wake up at 6 a.m. and paddle to Emerald Bay," said Jared Brackett, the eldest of Brackett's nine children. "It's not just a sport any more, it's turned into a way of life for us."
And paddling has been a boon for Brackett's health, helping him lose almost 40 pounds, he said.
"I would've ended up really fat," he laughed.
The Bracketts submitted a response to the city's call for a boat rental concession at the new Lakeview Commons boat house. The City Council will decide who's awarded the contract at the April 17 meeting. The Parks and Recreation Department's recommendation will not be made public until the meeting agenda comes out, Sherer said.
Still Brackett has high hopes for what the sport can do for South Lake Tahoe.
"We want to make this a destination," he said. "People will come to town and say, 'Let's go stand-up paddling.'"

"We MUST all have Healthcare …. NOW …. Before more people die without it!" That's the mantra, but is it really true? There are millions of intelligent people that do not trust traditional medical practices. And for good reason. For example: annually, there are over 100,000 + DEATHS caused by medical malpractice annually in the USA. A study by Healthgrades found that an average of 195,000 hospital deaths in each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002 in the U.S. were due to potentially preventable medical errors. A 2001 study in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) estimated that only 1 in 10,000 patients admitted to the hospital would have lived for 3 months or more had "optimal" care been provided.
Independent studies have concluded that up to 60% of all surgeries are completely unnecessary.
These unnecessary surgeries are performed because they are cash cows for the medical community. Along with that, literally millions of prescriptions are written for patients, often with extremely damaging side effects.
Isn't it wonderful that our all caring, Big Brother Government is attempting to FORCE such a wonderful system upon us all? So much for individual freedom!

Tom Orry, Editor - Kane & Lynch 2: Dogs Days, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
I'm not exactly a big fan of the original Kane & Lynch. I gave up about half way through as I just couldn't take the clumsy controls and cheap AI any more. I've been playing the sequel all week and it's unquestionably a better game all-round. You'll find out how good it is in my review next week, but if you've played the demo you'll already know if it's something you're interested in. For now I'll just say that it has the best blood-soaked male buttocks I've ever seen in a video game.
Tom Pearson, Video Producer - Monday Night Combat, XBLA
I've been playing the Team Fortress look-alike Monday Night Combat. On first play the game comes across as cartoony and overly energetic; all that is required I guess. Similarly to Team Fortress, Monday Night Combat is overseen by a mysterious all knowing, all seeing man with a smooth voice and pleasant commentary. The game was primarily made for online modes which see you, in a team of four, facing off against a mirrored team in a race to destroy each other's base. So far I've been enjoying the assassin class which gives many devious abilities. My personal favourite has to be sneaking behind an unsuspecting foe and plunging a dagger deep into their neck. The fear in their faces.
Martin Gaston, Staff Writer - 432-PIECE STARCRAFT II PUZZLE
Everybody and their dog knows that when you're given a 432-piece StarCraft II puzzle, the only possible outcome is for you to see it through to its epic conclusion. Fact. Adam, Will and myself were glued to this thing for weeks, despite the fact none of us have ever done a puzzle in our entire lives. Until now. The most upsetting moment was when we couldn't find the last piece - it was like being trapped in a cliché - and had to open up a second puzzle. Also, I really hope they release some video games soon.
Jamin Smith, Staff Writer - Marvel vs Capcom 3, Xbox 360 and PS3
If there's one man I'd never want to exchange blows with in a fighting game, Ryota Niitsuma - the producer of Street Fighter IV and now Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 - would be him. This, however, is exactly what I did earlier this week as I got to try out the game first hand. Suffice to say, I got my arse handed to me on a plate, and left the event with the painful sting of inadequacy. While I used to be a dab hand at Street Fighter Alpha 3 back in the PSone days - my skills have diminished considerably over the years. Even though Niitsuma-san was going easy on me (really easy, I'd imagine), and even though I lost all three matches, I still had a fantastic time. This is one fighter I'll be picking up on day one come its release.
Emily Gera, Staff Writer - Simon the Sorcerer, PC
Simon the Sorcerer is the almost quite-brilliant point-and-click adventure made by a tiny team of Brits back in the early Nineties. It's hideous in a way only the early nineties could muster but the game is fantastically funny. Unfortunately these days most people are too distracted staring at their copies of Monkey Island and putting another log on their burning effigy of Tim Schafer to bother playing Simon. But for a game made with such limited resources it manages to be one of the most well-written point-and-clicks of the last two decades.
