If you've attended one of our business etiquette or networking courses, you know we like to read.
I heard Jeanette Winterson interviewed by Eleanor Wachtel on CBC radio's Writers and Company. (one of our favorite radio interview shows)
I was so moved by her story that I had to rush out and get two of her books: Oranges are Not the Only Fruit – her memoir and Why Be Happy When You Could be Normal – a novel closely based on her life.
Oranges was heartbreaking because it was so raw – imagine having an adopted evangelical mother that locks you out of the house and forces you to sleep on the front porch when all you've done is being caught reading the classics. And it's gets more gruesome from there. Hard to fathom that one could survive that kind of upbringing and remain sane – sort of.
Why Be Happy was tempered with humour and some characters like a school teacher that supported her love of learning. She wasn't quite so fortunate in her own life as no mentors showed up to save her and so she saved herself.
Two truly remarkable books and an even more remarkable woman. 2 thumbs up (actually 4 as Terry read and enjoyed them too)
(Of course if Joanne doesn't follow the instructions – "pick one book" he decided he could include 3 books by one author. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.)
I loved J.G Farrell's The Troubles, which puts a dramatic and humorous story about anglo Irish Hotel residents against the background of Ireland's fight for independence in 1919. Dare I say it's close to an Irish Downton Abbey, only with more laughter along with the pathos. (The Troubles was a PBS TV movie as well)
I enjoyed it so much I read the rest of Farrell's so called Empire Trilogy (none of which has to be read in order) They are very much 3 separate books.
The Siege of Krishnapur, dealing with the Indian Sepoy rebellion of 1857, won the Booker Prize in 1973. And I also greatly enjoyed The Singapore Grip an account of British life in Singapore before and during the WWII Japanese invasion.
What makes these 3 books so interesting and hard to put down is the human stories that reveal themselves in the history. They are seen through the eye's of colonialism, warts and all. Gives real insights into the events and attitudes of the times. 2 thumbs up (as Joanne didn't read them)

Irelands largest all style national karate organisation, was established in 1978 by the coming together of the three main styles then practiced in Ireland, Shotokan, Wado and Kenpo, for the principal purpose of producing a fully representational national squad for international competition and also to coordinate, regulate and promote all karate activities within the 32 counties of Ireland.
A constitution was drafted and approved which protected the interests of all Irish karate practitioners, and which provided for the development of the highest standards in the sport and traditional art of karate.
Since its establishment Karate Ireland (O.N.A.K.A.I.) has been the only Irish karate body to be recognised by the European Karate Federation, and the World Karate Federation (Which is a member of the International Olympic Council). EKF and WKF are the largest and longest established European and World all style Karate organisations and host the highest level of Karate competitions in the world. In 2002 Karate Ireland was granted full recognition by the Irish Sports Council as the National Governing Body (NGB) for Karate in Ireland.

LOS ANGELES, May 7 (UPI) -- Civil liberty groups are suing two Southern California police agencies over electronic license plate scanner data being stored by law enforcement.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed suit in state Superior Court Monday, saying police should release a week's worth of data collected and stored by patrol car-mounted cameras that continuously scan vehicle license plates in search of stolen vehicles or vehicles registered to individuals with outstanding arrest warrants.
The ACLU said it has no problem with police using technology to search for stolen cars or wanted criminals -- but objects because innocent drivers are having their whereabouts chronicled and saved as well, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department each declined to release the license plate information sought under California's public information law, saying it was part of ongoing investigations.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said the plate scanners provide immense help to detectives by collecting and storing data that can be used to verify someone's whereabouts if a crime is committed in the future.
"As an investigative tool, it has unlimited potential," Beck said in an article published on the website Govtech.com. "That will be its strongest use ... being able to track vehicles -- where they've been and what they've been doing -- and tie that to crimes that have occurred or that will occur."
ACLU lawyer Peter Bibring said everyday citizens shouldn't be monitored by police when they've done nothing wrong.
"This technology has led to police maintaining data on every resident of Los Angeles that they manage to scan ... even law-abiding residents, and that's a real concern," Bibring said.
Bibring said a policy whereupon the departments destroy license plate data not germane to ongoing investigations within a short amount of time would be more appropriate than keeping every plate scan on file indefinitely.
The groups are seeking to release the documents to raise public awareness about law enforcement's tracking people's movements.

Doubt cast over alpine cattle grazing bid
The Victorian National Parks Association is predicting an application to return cattle to the Alpine National Park by the Victorian Government will fail.
Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke introduced rules last week requiring the State Government to apply to reintroduce alpine grazing.
The Victorian Minister, Ryan Smith, says he will send the results of this year's grazing trial and an environmental assessment to Mr Burke.
Phil Ingamells from the national parks association says the federal Minister has sent a clear message to protect the park's environment.
"There are decades of evidence that cattle do damage to the park, so they're very hard to argue against that," he said.
"I think it's time to move, for the Victorian Government to move the other threats to the park which are basically deer, feral horses and weed invasions and really concentrating on restoring the park to the way it should be."

This is the time of year that the bark on citrus trees is slipping. This is when the bark separates easily from the wood underneath. For that reason it is now budding season for citrus trees.
Budding is the process of taking a bud from a desirable citrus tree and placing it on a more vigorous growing, usually sour citrus plant. Once the bud takes and begins to grow, the resulting limbs will bear sweet fruit.
Most people are familiar with citrus grafting, but not budding. Citrus trees that are sold at nurseries are usually obtained from budding and not grafting. Budding is done in the summer while grafting is done in late winter.
''T'' budding is a relatively simple procedure. A T-shaped incision is made through the bark on the rootstock stem and a bud from a desirable tree is inserted into the slit. Once the bud forms a union with the rootstock it will begin to grow. When several different kinds of citrus are budded onto the same tree a fruit cocktail tree can be created.
To perform a T bud, make a vertical cut in a smooth area of the rootstock stem about 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. A horizontal cut is then made at the top of the vertical cut. The point of the knife can be used to gently lift the bark along the vertical cut.
To get the bud to place in the T, obtain a stem cutting from a desirable tree. This is your budwood. With your knife blade almost parallel to the axis of the budwood, begin the cut about one half inch above the bud removing a shield-shaped piece of bark and wood about an inch long with a smooth, flat cut surface.
The bud should be immediately inserted into the stock. Slide the bud shield under the bark flaps of the rootstock. The bud shield should be completely enclosed in the T incision. If part of it protrudes beyond the incision, cut it off.
Buds should be wrapped with budding tape or use a wide rubber band. Wrap above and below the incision going completely around the stem. The wrapping can be removed in about three weeks, at which time if the bud is green and not shriveled or browning, a union has formed.
Convert your sour orange tree into a sweet fruit producer. Try budding your citrus. Many buds can be placed on the limbs of a citrus tree and so at least a few of them should take.

State and federal funds are paying for 620 video cameras that will be installed in police squads across the state, authorities announced Wednesday.
The money comes in part from federal grants Minnesota earned for enacting a primary seat belt law.
About 100 of those cameras will be installed in St. Paul cars, which means about 70 percent of the fleet will be taping police work around the city.
"This is a tool that goes both ways," said St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith. "This is a tool that holds our officers accountable, but also can help our officers be more safe. If there are complaints against our officers, we have the video evidence."
The cameras will be distributed statewide, although most will be in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis already has cameras in about 80 percent of its squad cars, and started the video program more than five years ago.

Sun and fun during Roberts Good Neighbor Days
To say Roberts Good Neighbor Days went well last weekend is an understatement.
"This year's event exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way," said Roberts Lions Club President Geno Hanson. "We had great weather and great attendance. It created the perfect storm for a great weekend. This year's event was one of the better years."
He said in addition to the wonderful weather, the support of area residents and businesses helped make this year's event successful.
"In addition to people coming down and spending money at Good Neighbor Days, anytime we needed anything, regardless of the business or individual, they were right there to help out," he said.
More than 650 people came to the park Thursday night for the Community Appreciation Dinner hosted by the Roberts Citizen State Bank. During the dinner Marge Wolske received the Roberts Good Neighbor Award. She tearfully accepted the prestigious community honor.
Around 1,600 people attended the tractor pull on Friday night and the big tent was full on Saturday night when the Arch Allies rocked the stage.
He said this year's three new events all had high attendance, too.
Eighteen teams participated in the mud volleyball tournament on Saturday afternoon. Around 30 people participated in the afternoon Texas Hold 'Em tournament. And about 120 people attended the ecumenical church service under the tent on Sunday morning.
Hanson said there was a great group of young women working for Miss Roberts and ambassador positions this year.
This year's royal candidates included: Harley McDaniel, Katie Rohl-Benysek, Courtney Morgan, Kayla Francis, Haley Hoolihan, Trari Babbitt, Alexandra Louise LaPitz, Diane Anderson and Gabrielle Nippoldt.
Haley Hoolihan earned the title of Miss Roberts 2012. She also was the candidate who sold the most raffle tickets. She is the daughter of Chris and Christy Hoolihan.
Harley McDaniel's outgoing and humorous personality helped her earn the title of Ambassador and Miss Congeniality 2012. She was also the candidate who received the most returned invites for the pancake breakfast. McDaniel is the daughter of Todd and Kim Hamilton.
Katie Rohl-Benysek earned the title of Roberts Ambassador and she also was the candidate who sold the most Roberts Good Neighbor Days buttons. She is the daughter of Joe and Karen Benysek.
Trari Babbitt also earned the title of Roberts Ambassador. She is the daughter of Gretchen Babbitt.
Ava Nippoldt won the title of Junior Miss Roberts via random drawing. She is the daughter of Greg and Rachel Nippoldt.
"There's no doubt those girls will do a terrific job representing Roberts over the next year," Hanson said.
Medallion Hunt
The Hetrick family seems to be making a tradition of finding the Central St. Croix Area Chamber of Commerce medallion on the first day of the hunt.
Last year, Nate Hetrick and his twin sons, Caleb and Cory, found the medallion around noon on the first day of the hunt.
This year, Nate's wife, Kelly and their daughters, Carly and Caty, participated in the hunt as well.
The Hetrick men started their hunt in the morning on Tuesday, May 29. By 1 p.m., the Hetrick females found the medallion hidden behind the electrical box on the Roberts water tower.
The Hetricks say the medallion hunt is a fun thing they can do together.
"It's a team effort," Kelly said. "We all like following the clues and the end prize."
For finding the medallion, the Hetricks received $250 from the Chamber.
The prize money will go toward an in-ground basketball hoop for the family, Kelly said.
The Hetricks hope to continue their reign by finding the medallion again next year.

However, in the fast changing world of digital, if my 20D lasts 5 years, I can buy an improved replacement. And if that camera dies in 5 more years, I can buy an improved replacement and I'll have still spent less than a DM-R. The ONLY problem with the DMR is not it's longevity. In fact, that is most likely it's worst feature, given the rapidly changing digital scene. As digital matures, I will eventually invest in an R11 digi-body - if such a thing is ever made. But I cannot afford to support Leica at their current prices and with the current short product life cycles. As I stated earlier, other than the joy of using a body that is superbly crafted, the essence of Leica photography is in the lenses... the LeiCanon option allows for the quality of photography Leica users exepect.

Just a heads up, the Xoom can run ADB natively. Full ADB. Haven't tested it over USB Host, but it works with ADBwireless.
Doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but it does work. Try ADB devices from a terminal on your xoom.
Meaning that the Xoom can run ADB, just like your computer. Pull APKs, ringtones, media, whatever over wifi.
EDIT: These commands should make it work without the apk.
To trigger adb wifi on your phone/non-Xoom:
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 stop adbd start adbd
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1 stop adbd start adbd
adb connect [IPAddress]:[port]
Or from USB on your comp:

text: [ I already sent this patch half a year ago or so, as an RFC. I didn'treally get any comments back then, however I am still interested inseeing this patch in the kernel tree. So here I go again: pleasecomment! I have updated the patch to apply to the current upstream gitmaster. ]Right now, if a process dies all its children are reparented to init.This logic has good uses, i.e. for double forking when daemonizing.However it also allows child processes to "escape" their parents, whichis a problem for software like session managers (such as gnome-session)or other process supervisors.This patch adds a simple flag for each process that marks it as an"anchor" process for all its children and grandchildren. If a child ofsuch an anchor dies all its children will not be reparented to init, butinstead to this anchor, escaping this anchor process is not possible. Atask with this flag set hence acts is little "sub-init".Anchors are fully recursive: if an anchor dies, all its children arereparented to next higher anchor in the process tree.This is orthogonal to PID namespaces.

corel has announced that it has inked a deal with runaware, an evaluation service provider, that will enable users of the service to try corel software over the internet before they buy it. runaware will initially feature wordperfect office 2000 for linux, coreldraw 9, corel photo-paint�, corel� custom photo, and corel ventura� 8. in order to demo the product, users must first register for free at runaware.
to demo a corel product go to runaware.com.
joel's opinion
this is a great move for corel. right now millions of people use microsoft's office suite and have heard a lot about wordperfect but can't justify the move to it. in addition, if a company is evaluating whether or not to move to linux, being able to try wordperfect office 2000 for linux without having to download or install anything makes it a lot easier to make a decision.
i decided to give the service a shot. first i registered (for free) for runaware.com. moments later i clicked on the "run coreldraw" button. the server seemed to wait and wait and then finally timed out. i then decided to try to run dreamweaver. i was greeted with this message: "tj�nsten �r inte tillg�nglig f�r tillf�llet." i hope there's no profanity in that message, as i can't read that language. ;)
i'm assuming that the problems i experienced are probably isolated and are due to corel releasing a press release about the new service and increased traffic going to runaware.com. regardless of the problems, i think that being able to demo products on the 'net before making the purchase is definitely the future of software sales.

CONCORD — Authorities captured a wanted fugitive early Friday morning after making a forced entry into a Somersworth apartment.
Members of the U.S. Marshals — N.H. Joint Fugitive Task Force, and the Maine Violent Offenders Task Force arrested Fugitive of the Week Nicholas Emond at an apartment on Winter Street in Somersworth.
Emond, 27, who had last known addresses in both Maine and New Hampshire, was being sought on an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the U.S. District Court in Portland, Maine. The arrest warrant was issued for supervised release violations stemming from an original conviction and sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The original alert sent out by the marshals indicated Emond had family and friends in Seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine. Fosters.com published a story and a picture of Emond on Wednesday on the newspaper's website. Foster's Daily Democrat also published that story and picture in the print edition of the newspaper on Thursday morning. Emond called the newspaper and left two voicemails on Thursday that included his phone number. An editor at the paper gave that information to the U.S. Marshals office in Concord.
According to a press release from the U.S. Marshals, information provided by tipsters indicated Emond was living in an apartment on Winter Street, in Somersworth. The information was further developed by the U.S. Marshals Friday morning, which ultimately led to his arrest. Emond did not respond to knocks at the apartment door and entry was forced by law enforcement. Emond was quickly located and arrested without further incident.
Emond was transported directly to the U.S. District Courthouse in Portland, Maine, where he will be processed and charged on his outstanding warrant.
Numerous members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Forces participated in the investigation and arrest, including members from the Eliot and Biddeford, Maine, police departments, Maine State Police, Somersworth Police, the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, along with deputy U.S. Marshals.

Another Starfishey sample! …SO UH I let this steep for a bit too long but it's still pretty good; REALLY fruity! And more sweet than I expected? I think I was expecting more tangy flavors but I got a lot of sweet fruitiness.
I DID THIS ONE AGAIN steeped at a proper time and it actually didn't change the overall taste too much. Same flavor just a little less strong. IT'S NOT BAD, I think I might actually like it better iced though? HMMM.

Serier Sida EvaluationDescription:
The present program includes the Addis Ababa University (AAU) and Haremaya University (HU). The collaboration has been based on a sandwich type of research training involving Swedish universities as collaborating partners. In the future, the aim is to target directly at a comprehensive expansion of PhD programmes directly at the Universities, in particular AAU. The evaluation therefore aims to establish what has been achieved over the past 4 years (2002-2005); what contribution the programme has made over the past 20 years to research and research capacity building at the universities concerned; and what are the lessons learnt that should inform future strategic direction and content of continued funding to these universities

Mobile phone footage and messages from passengers suggest they were advised to stay where they were as they vessel listed severely to one side.
But the advice may have effectively sealed the fates of many of those on board, making escape impossible as the ferry sank into the icy depths.
One 18-year-old student messaged his mother on the KakaoTalk messaging app at 9.27am (1.27am UK time) - shortly after the ferry sent its first distress call.
He wrote: "Mum, I'm sending this because I might not be able to say it later. I love you."
Seven minutes later his mother - unaware of the trouble the vessel was in - replied: "Why? ... I thought you don't check your KakaoTalk messages.
"Me too son... I love you."
There are reports that the young man involved may be one of the lucky 179 survivors rescued before the ship capsized and went under the water.
Another student sent a series of messages to friends in a theatre club just after 9am.
He wrote: "Hey really seriously.
"Love you all for real.
"Looks like we really are gonna die.
"No really the ship's tilting.
"You guys really.
"If I've wronged any of you. Forgive me."
A female passenger, also 18, messaged her father at around 10am as the ship started to sink.
She wrote: "Dad don't worry too much. I am wearing a life vest and am with other girls."
A few minutes later, as the situation deteriorated, she added: "I can't. It's too tilted. Can't move ... it's more dangerous if I move."
Her distraught father wrote back, urging her to try to get out, but it was already too late.
"Dad, I can't. The ship is too tilted. The hallway is crowded with so many people," she responded in a final message.
At 9.23am a 16-year-old called Kim Woong-Ki texted his older brother saying: "Brother, I'm riding a ship to Jeju Island and the ship hit something and it can't move."
After he was asked how bad the damage was, he said: "I don't know about that, since I'm inside. I don't have good coverage and just now the Coast Guards arrived."
The teenager's brother replied: "The rescue will arrive soon. Don't panic. Be calm and strong. You just need to move quickly as instructed. When you have coverage contact me again."
An icon on the brother's phone shows that his last message was not read and Kim was listed among almost 290 unaccounted for.
Some parents managed a last, traumatic phone call with their children as they tried to escape.
"He told me the ship was tilted over and he couldn't see anything," one mother recalled of a panicked conversation with her student son.
"He said 'I haven't put on the life jacket yet', and then the phone went dead," the mother told the Dong-A Ilbo newspaper.

Be careful little hands what you pickup for it may be very dangerous.
Saturday 1-27-07 my wife and grand daughter and I were out searching for w00dwalkers WCCC series of caches. While searching and searching for the cache, my wife asked what THAT was while pointing down into the woods about 30 yards. I expected some animal or something of that sort, but all I saw was a white sticker with red writing on it. I moved closer to the item and saw that it was just a portable air tank like you would buy at the store. Thinking, wow this is brand new and that it maybe have washed up here from somewhere close due to the heavy rains we had just had. The tank was upside down on the ground behind a tree. I reached down and slowly picked it up and took a closer look. The valve was missing and there was some type of plug in its place. As I looked it over I noticed the plug started bubbling. As I watched, I soon got a whiff of a very strong odor. My mind went into alert and sent my hands the command to gently place it back on the ground and then my feet began to move back out of the way. I had told my wife and grand-daughter to get away as soon as the odor hit my nose. As luck would have it, I had a cell phone and a signal, which is unusual. Well I called the Sheriffs Dept and in a few minutes there was a car coming and a deputy came over and we went back into the woods. He confirmed my suspicions as to what we had found. All the signs were there as well. I ask that each of you please be careful when you are out geocaching. The items we came across were being used in the manufacturing of meth. PLEASE BE CAREFUL

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." – Mary Ritter Beard
We here at Airstream love all kinds of road trips, big or small! Whether you hit the open road to visit beautiful landmarks, embark on new adventures or simply to spend time with family and friends, we have some tips that will help you! Check out our top 10 tips for the perfect road trip:
- Be a smart packer! When it comes to clothes, less is more. You don't need a ton of fancy clothes and accessories to Live Riveted. Check the weather forecast and plan accordingly when planning your travel wardrobe. Keep your luggage limit to one bag per person to increase storage space and lighten your load.
- Keep a well-stocked cooler. When on the road for an extended time, proper meals and snacks are a key component to keeping everyone happy and healthy! Pack plenty of water and easy snacks like trail mix, granola bars and even a sweet treat or two to munch on while hitting the open road.
- Use technology to your advantage. When planning your road trip, don't be afraid to use technology to help! There are great apps and travel tools like Roadtrippers to discover the best lodging and attractions.
- Anticipate trouble spots. When on the road with family and friends, it is important to realize that things will go wrong while on your road trip. Make a note to think through roadwork and high traffic areas while on vacation.
- Don't be restricted by campgrounds! When planning your Airstream travels, don't forget about boondocking! What is boondocking, you might ask? It is a term used to describe camping in nature without the use of commercial camping areas or hookups. It might seem intimidating at first, but here are some tips on how to boondock with ease.
- Stay entertained! This tip is especially important for families traveling with kiddos. Bring road trip essentials like portable games, coloring books, movies and books on tape to keep every member of your family in good spirits!
- Document your trip! Bring along a Go Pro, travel journal or just a simple camera to capture the incredible memories you will have on your road trip.
- Try something new. It wouldn't be a successful road trip without learning new things and participating in new experiences! Try local food or try an activity that you have never done before. Geocaching is a fun activity to try for those with a heart for exploration, and Airstream is releasing our new trackable: the Airstream Silver Bullet!
- Bring a real map and a permanent marker. GPS devices are great for driving directions, but it is more fun and exciting to record your road trip progress on a traditional printed map. We suggest tracing your route and writing down fun memories and people you met while on the road!
- Live Riveted! Embarking on a road trip is the essential Live Riveted experience, where you can discover and explore not only new places, but also yourself and other people around you.
We love that road trips allow you to get out and explore the world we live in, and we encourage you to plan one with friends and family soon! Do you have a road trip tip you want to share? Let us know on our Facebook page!

A small crowd waited to get inside the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel when it reopened the morning of Nov. 5 after a weeklong shutdown caused by Hurricane Sandy.
The meager turnout portended what was to come for the Atlantic Club and the rest of Atlantic City's casino industry in the hurricane's aftermath.
Although the casinos suffered little physical damage during the storm, their business has been seriously harmed and is unlikely to return to pre-hurricane levels for months, analysts warn.
They say the stronger casinos can withstand the downturn, but there are concerns that weaker properties such as the Atlantic Club may not survive if the market takes a long time to recover.
"If anything's going to close, it's going to be that one," Greg Roselli, a casino analyst with UBS Securities, said of the Atlantic Club.
Michael Frawley, the Atlantic Club's chief operating officer, denied that Sandy will put his casino out of business.
"We have no plans to close," he said. "We are all going to do our best and react to the conditions that come up to us."
Frawley, however, acknowledged that the already struggling Atlantic City market faces the additional challenge of reviving its customer base in the storm-ravaged feeder markets of metropolitan New York.
"I honestly don't know what normal business levels are anymore," he said. "We have been looking to find a bottom in this market. It's been difficult."
About half of Atlantic City's business comes from New York and North Jersey, some of the areas hit hardest by the hurricane. Casino executives have stressed that gambling trips to Atlantic City will be the last thing on people's minds as long as they are trying to rebuild their shattered homes and lives.
Gambling revenue at the city's 12 casino hotels plunged 20 percent in October. Analysts are predicting big declines for November and December, too. Plummeting revenue has fueled speculation that more than one casino could be a hurricane casualty.
"It increases the likelihood of the potential for one or two casino closings," said John Kempf, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. "It doesn't mean it's going to happen, though."
Tony Marino, an independent casino analyst and former Atlantic City Expressway executive who compiled the annual visitor trips to the gambling resort, said Sandy's impact will eventually fade, but a greater threat continues: the intense competition from casinos in surrounding states.
"The continuing long-term threat is the vanishing day-trip visits of gamblers being siphoned off by casinos closer to their homes," he said.
Meanwhile, Marino envisions Atlantic City becoming more of a seasonal market, one that thrives during the peak summer tourist months but struggles the rest of the year. He grimly predicts that two to four casinos will fall into bankruptcy or merge over the next 24 months in response to the slumping market.
Revel, Atlantic City's newest casino, has gotten off to what analysts say is an underwhelming start. Revel had been placing a disappointing eighth in gambling revenue each month since opening in April, but it slipped to 10th in October, taking in just $9.3 million from its slot machines and table games in the hurricane-shortened month.
Some Wall Street analysts have been warning that Revel's revenue may be insufficient to meet the casino's debt payments. Two credit-rating firms, Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service, recently lowered their ratings on Revel, underscoring the casino's financial struggles.
Kempf believes that Revel has enough financing on hand to turn things around. Revel lined up a new $100 million financing package in August to help pay its operating expenses through 2013 while it works on refining its business strategy.
"I think Revel still has enough liquidity to last a little bit longer," Kempf said. "I think they should still have time."
Revel CEO Kevin DeSanctis issued a statement saying it will take some time for the region to recover and for visitors from New York and New Jersey to return to his casino. One encouraging sign, DeSanctis noted, is that most of the groups that canceled trips to Revel during the hurricane have since rebooked.
"This is an important segment of our business, and we are focused on rebooking the remaining groups and driving new business in this area," DeSanctis said.
In the meantime, Revel is gearing up for the holidays, including an Aerosmith concert over Thanksgiving weekend, DeSanctis said. He added that Revel will soon be announcing other headliner acts as well as new promotions for the holiday season.
"We look forward to welcoming back guests who have been unable to visit due to the storm," DeSanctis said.
Sandy was not the first hurricane to disrupt a casino market. Analysts have begun comparing Atlantic City to the Gulf Coast casinos, which were battered by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. Pointing to the Gulf Coast's recovery, Roselli said Sandy may be only a "temporary hiccup" for Atlantic City.
"For the most part, we're expecting it to get back to normal," Roselli said. "But it's hard to gauge (how long) because we've never seen a storm like this one in Atlantic City."
Roselli maintained there is hope for even the weakest casinos as long as sports betting and Internet gambling remain possible. New Jersey is waiting for the courts or Congress to give final approval for sports betting and Internet gambling in the state, although both could face long odds.
"I think there's always going to be someone who's willing to take a chance on the Atlantic City casinos," Roselli said of the prospect of sports betting and Internet gambling.
Kempf said Atlantic City should be boosted by additional state funding as New Jersey looks to protect its crown jewel of the tourist industry in Sandy's aftermath. Atlantic City attracts close to 30 million visitor trips on an annual basis. Gov. Chris Christie created Atlantic City's state-run Tourism District last year to make the resort safer and cleaner for visitors.
"My sense is that business will eventually come back. I am of the opinion that this is the turning point for the tourism industry," Kempf said. "I think there will be a lot of state money shoveled down not only to Atlantic City but also to the entire Jersey Shore to help them come back."

Ok gang,
The band is going to be hitting the road this summer for its first official tour. I know I will have many questions but one that I am thinking about now is how to store the guitars. The band will be using a van and trailer set up. The van will not have much room for guitar and bass cases so they will be in the trailer. I was wondering if the group has some ideas on how best to transport them. They have their own cases but no flight cases currently. Counting the basses, we are probably bringing 6 instruments.

Office: (501) 686-5441
Lab: (501) 686-7120
Dr. Cornett's research interests are focused on regulation of adrenergic receptor gene expression in the rat lung and the homeostatic roles of the neurohypophysial hormone vasotocin in the domestic chicken. Adrenergic receptors mediate the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine. My laboratory has developed adeno-associated viral vectors that express a functional β2-adrenergic receptor. These vectors are being delivered to rat lung in order to increase β2-adrenergic receptor function in airway epithelial cells. The long term goal is to increase sensitivity of the airways to the relaxing effects of β2-adrenergic agonists. Regarding the actions of vasotocin, immunohistochemical techniques, radioimmunoassays and in situ hybridization histochemistry are being used to investigate regulation of vasotocin gene expression in the chicken hypothalamus under conditions of osmotic stress and during oviposition. We have cloned and pharmacologically characterized receptors that bind vasotocin and transduce its physiological effects in the shell gland and anterior pituitary gland.
In addition, Dr. Cornett is the Director of the Arkansas INBRE Program. The goal of the Arkansas INBRE is to expand and strengthen the biomedical research infrastructure of academic institutions in the state by developing a multidisciplinary research network united by the scientific theme of Cellular Signaling, Growth, and Differentiation.

Re: Alia Honoree
I quite like Alia the way you're pronouncing it...it isn't a name I've ever considered but it has a very nice sound. I'm not in love with Honoree but I do think it makes a nice middle name. I think with Alia, though, it has too many vowels for me.
My favorite off your list is definitely Aurora, one of my favorite names of all time! I also like Adele. Good luck!

Re: Alia Honoree
I'm having a hard time with Honoree--it just looks like the word honoree to me. When I first read the subject I thought you were asking about honoring someone named Alia. I really like Alia Montserrat (and I prefer this spelling to Monserrat). It's unexpected and has a sophisticated feel.Mom to Conrad James and baby due May 2014

Re: Alia Honoree
Alia has a great sound any way you say it, but when I look at this name I see Aaliyah or Aleah pronunciations (uh Lee uh), so that might be a factor. This way also looks like "inter alia", which I think is ALya or A-lyuh. It also kind of looks like Aila and Alla. Be ready for all that if you use it. If you're not committed to it but very into it, Dahlia or Talia/Natalia actually probably get you the sound you want almost as often, if not more. Natalia could have Alia has a nn.
Honoree is lovely although I can see others' points about the spelling/pronunciation issues. I think in middle position it probably doesn't matter sooo much.
I like your other names in the running, agree Montserrat is a preferred spelling. Adele maybe too is a preferred spelling? Aurora is lovely.
Lucia is one of my favorite names - so cross-cultural!
All best!
