uShaka Sea World opens its EcoHouse
As visitors wander through the EcoHouse, an innovative new exhibit situated at the entrance to the aquarium, a friendly penguin invites visitors to explore easy ways to reduce their energy use and save money. From a full-sized geyser and solar panel to a quirky woman in the fridge, interactive electricity panels and much more – the exhibit attracts attention and challenges us to action.
Climate change can be a deadly boring topic – ocean acidification, rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and food shortages – the topic abounds with doom and gloom. Unfortunately rather than galvanising people into action, bad news stories tend to dissuade people, who believe the problem is too big for a single individual to make a difference. The EcoHouse addresses this serious problem in a constructive, light-hearted way by linking the penguin icon to human actions and providing visitors with practical suggestions – using simple financial and ecological sense – that can be adopted at home. By the end of the exhibit visitors have an opportunity to make a Penguin Promise – a commitment to making just one change in their daily lives to help reduce their carbon footprint.
"Our oceans are under threat from a wide range of impacts. If we want to save our oceans and the amazing life that they contain, we all need to take action", says Sea World CEO Judy Mann. "uShaka Sea World's EcoHouse helps to empower people to take action, so that they return home inspired and motivated to help our planet."
Entrance to the EcoHouse is included in the regular ticket price to visit uShaka Sea World. Join us as we share our love of animals and our love for our environment with you and your family.

Your Family is at the Center of Ours.
At the Sovah Health - Danville Family Birthing Center we have an entirely new birth experience. Our family-centered care means the focus is on the togetherness of the family, so you can cherish every moment. It's an entirely new philosophy that recognizes the birth of a baby is also the birth of a family. With that in mind, all baby care, including baths, physicals and routine observation is completed in your room.
Explore our classes for expectant parents
Family Bonding
Because the baby care takes place in your room, you share more special moments and have more quiet time getting to know your baby.
Parenting Confidence
You and your baby will begin to learn your family routine right from the start.
Easier Feeding
You and your partner will learn to respond to your baby's hunger cues, without waiting on a nurse. If breastfeeding, you and your baby are more likely to get off to a good start.
Want to learn more? Download the OB Prenatal Guide.
More Than You Imagine
Sovah Health - Danville's Family Birthing center is the total package – specialized medical care delivered in a home-like setting.
Comfort and Amenities
With input from physicians and moms, like you, every aspect of our center has been designed with patients and their families in mind- from the expansive family waiting room with adjoining vending area to the new suites some of which have queen beds. Our rooms are elegant and designed to feel more like home, with special amenities like flat screen televisions and mini-fridge.
Personalized Labor and Delivery Options
Create the birth plan you desire with expanded options for pain management including jet tubs, birthing balls, and other physiologic techniques in addition to our epidural option.
An Innovative Model of Nursing Care
The Family Birthing Center believes caring for mother and baby with one nurse, as a "couplet" promotes more bonding and attachment.
Rather than having one nurse for you and one nurse for your baby, the one mother-baby nurse approach allows families to spend more time together because your baby won't have to leave the room for nursing care or shift change.
Better Communication
Mother-baby nursing improves the lines of communication between the family, nurses and doctors. Your questions are answered quicker and the nurse can respond to your needs more easily.
Individualized Education
Families get one-on-one instruction and personal assistance with taking care of baby – from feeding to diapering to care of the umbilical cord. As a new parent you'll leave the hospital more confident in your parenting skills.
Comprehensive Care
Your mother-baby nurse is expertly cross-trained to understand both parent and newborn needs, so your medical care is second to none.
Great medical care in a more personal package. When you get down to it, family –centered care is all about allowing you to create the birth experience you want. It is rooming-in with your family from the start. Your nurse is still the primary caregiver to help you those first days, and the nursery is available if and when you need a rest.
Mother's Resource Center
Sovah Health - Danville's Mother's Resource Center was created with you in mind. The Center offers a full range of quality products and services to assist you in providing the best care for you and your baby. You can find the center on the 4th floor just beyond the nursery. For more information, call 434.799.4486.

Bangladesh v Afghanistan: A look at the numbers
With the ICC World Twenty20 2014 in Bangladesh getting underway on Sunday (March 16), here a look at key battles, approaching milestones and a few facts from the Bangladesh and Afghanistan clash.
Some facts:
Bangladesh and Afghanistan have never previously met in a Twenty20 match.
The host nation of the previous ICC World Twenty20 tournaments has won their opening fixture thrice (South Africa, West Indies and Sri Lanka). England lost the curtain-raiser in 2009.
Bangladesh has lost four if its last five T20s.
Afghanistan has won 11 and lost 11 of their 22 T20Is. It has lost four of its last six T20s.
Mushfiqur Rahim has scored 101 runs at an average of 50.5 in three T20I innings at the Sher-e Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Key Battles:
Bangladesh v Afghanistan – Shakib Al Hasan vs. Samiullah Shenwari
Shakib Al Hasan is Bangladesh's outstanding performer in all formats, but it is in Twenty20 cricket that his explosive stroke-play and canny left-arm spin dominates games most. Only Anamul Haque has a higher strike rate amongst Bangladesh's current top order than Shakib's 127.8 and his bowling average of 19.1 and economy rate of 6.7 puts him in the top bracket of slow bowlers.
Samiullah Shenwari has an even better economy rate (5.9) and it will be the leg-spinner's prime job to keep Shakib quiet. He is also handy with the bat, having recently hit a half-century against India in a One Day International.
Approaching Milestones:
Mohammad Nabi will become the second player to captain Afghanistan in 10 T20I matches.
Rahim needs two dismissals to become the sixth wicket-keeper to take 30 T20I dismissals.
A defeat for Bangladesh would make Rahim the captain with most T20I defeats for Bangladesh. He and Mohammad Ashraful have both lost nine matches in charge.

Guidelines on fruit and veg are ill-advised
Public health doctors appear to have been taken in by the report regarding the benefits of eating 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day (Life, April 3).
Only a moment's reflection is needed to realise that those eating larger amounts of fresh fruit and vug are likely to be people who understand the benefit of a healthy lifestyle and can afford to pay for it.
So they are probably, also, doing the other things that are part of a healthy lifestyle.
It's misleading to suggest that we only have to change our diet to reduce our risk of dying by 42%.

FORT LAUDERDALE -- One year later, Martha Burk is still at it, still passionate and still focusing another high-pressure campaign against that most deeply entrenched, historically defiant and socially unrepentant of all-male clubs.
Not Augusta National.
"Our most pressing project right now is helping women in Iraq to secure equal rights in the new constitution and ensuring that our government responsibly has women included in levels of participation of the new Iraqi government," the chairwoman of the National Council of Women's Organizations said from her Washington office.
From golf to the Gulf?
"Challenges are everywhere," she said.
Back here in the toy department, where sand traps are labeled a hazard, we're awaiting The Masters, but the golf landscape and editorial pages look nothing like the social squabble of last year.
That was when Burk and Hootie Johnson, the grand pooh-bah of Augusta National, squared off in a fight that was either about public rights or private clubs, about women at work or men at play, either socially important or simply trivial, highly flammable or just moderately entertaining.
What's not open for debate are the conclusions.
1. No woman was considered for membership to Augusta National.
2. America shrugged at it all, figuring a rich boys' club in a rich man's game had nothing to do with issues like women getting equal pay for equal work.
3. The media were had to some degree, blowing out a months-long cause that was deemed such a yawner even by most women that only a few dozen people joined the actual protest at The Masters (meaning we in the media outnumbered protesters about five to one).
4. There again will be no television commercials during The Masters.
"No corporation would buy them," Burk said. "I have a suggestion for Hootie, though. He should sell commercials to Hooters and Howard Stern's radio show."
Burk, you see, still knows how to place a good one-liner, always a handy weapon for a social activist. Not that non-stop golf coverage was her aim. And not that golf fans should care how such a blessing came to their TV screen. Just enjoy it again.
Meanwhile, in the past year, Annika Sorenstam, Michelle Wie and Suzy Whalen did more to foster a changed climate of women in golf than Burk ever could. They took on the men where a scoreboard mattered and showed a level of humanity, if not the same level of golf. Maybe Wie, at 14, eventually does. Those of us in the business of finding good stories can only hope.
Gone is the protest this year, though. Burk cites the legal protest site, far from the entrance. But the reality was the reality of not enough caring enough to show up last year, aside from the likes of an Elvis impersonator and a disc jockey who as Burk spoke stood before her with the sign, Make Me Dinner.
Burk hasn't taken Augusta off the agenda altogether. She has a news conference set for Tuesday in which she'll lay the ground rules for a future protest. It has been hard to engage the enemy when he won't play along.
For instance, in the aftermath of The Masters, Johnson said the members didn't want any woman in the club -- "even over my dead body."
Burk wrote every Augusta National member and asked if that was true. Not one responded.
"I can see this leading to a much, much larger conversation," she said. "What Augusta has done is uncover for us a stunning indifference of corporate America that goes beyond women in Augusta. It goes to pay caps, glass ceilings, sexual harassment and all things that women are facing in today's work place."
Those bigger dots were never connected to Augusta last year in a way the public saw. That's why even the national media can't get worked up a year later. And that's why, even as Augusta is an issue, it's not consuming Burk's time like the bigger, globally better and infinitely more complex issue of Iraqi women's rights.
"We've got some guarantees, such as a 25 percent participation for women in government," she said. That's higher than the 14 percent in the Congress."
She has the likes of Paul Bremer, Colin Powell and George W. Bush in her sights this time. Hootie goes relatively free, meaning the world's biggest golf tournament will be only that next week.
A golf tournament.

Moldova is marking its 24th birthday on August 27 with a big celebration. But those most intent on cheering independence tend to be older Moldovans.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed legislation recently offering fast-track citizenship to Russian speakers anywhere within the former Soviet Union. Analysts believe the law is motivated by a desire to enhance Moscow's influence in Ukraine and elsewhere, but it may have unintended consequences for the Kremlin in Central Asia.
Strict enforcement of Azerbaijani migration legislation is making life difficult for ethnic Azeris who are citizens of neighboring Georgia.
In the years immediately following the collapse of the Soviet Union, ethnic Azeris in Georgia clamored to return to their titular homeland. But now, thanks in part to strong bilateral relations, the trend is changing: ethnic Azeris still in Georgia are staying put, and thousand who made their way to Azerbaijan are even opting to return.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. During the Nauvoo period of LDS Church history, the Prophet Joseph Smith was dogged by legal troubles stemming from the Missouri persecutions of 1838.
Now, his efforts to defend himself by using the legal doctrine of habeas corpus will be studied by school children and law students in Illinois. This is due to a remarkable partnership involving the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and the Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation, with involvement from Church History Department scholars and representatives of the Community of Christ and members of the legal community in Illinois.
On Sept. 24, at the Lincoln museum in downtown Springfield, four professional actors depicted three habeas corpus hearings involving the prophet Joseph Smith that took place in Illinois in the 1840s. This was followed by a panel discussion involving five distinguished legal experts, including Jeffrey N. Walker, senior adviser for the Joseph Smith Papers and managing director for its legal and business series. Brother Walker was largely responsible for the creation and leadership of the program.
The panel discussed the suspension of habeas corpus and its changing application in America from the 19th Century to today, including the use of the writ of habeas corpus for prisoners at Guntanamo Bay.
Introducing the program, Justice Rita B. Garman of the Illinois Supreme Court said, "We certainly extend our deepest thanks to the LDS Church for their help. We obviously could not have put this program together without their support."
Justice Garman said the evening's event "involves the intersection of two constitutional principles: the individual's right to habeas corpus vs. the state's right of extradition."
She defined habeas corpus as "the right of an individual to be brought before a court and informed of the criminal charges against him or her and to contest false charges."
"This long-established right was first under the English common law dating back to the magna charta. It's embodied in the U.S. Constitution."
She explained that extradition is the right of a state to request another state to transfer a criminal defendant to its jurisdiction where a crime allegedly occurred. "This extradition right is also set forth in the U.S. Constitution," she added.
While the dramatic presentation was based on actual events from the 1830s and 1840s, "dialogue and scenes have been created for dramatic effect, including some involving Stephen A. Douglas, the great lawyer, jurist and statesman from Illinois."
The character of Douglas was something of a narrator in the dramatic presentations, sometimes giving the audience the background of the hearings in which the Prophet was involved.
With no scenery, staging or special costuming, the actors depicted, in addition to Stephen Douglas and Joseph Smith, Church figures such as Sidney Rigdon, Reynolds Cahoon, William Clayton, Lyman Wight and Hyrum Smith; lawyers and jurists involved in the hearings, and other prominent figures such as Missouri Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs.
Of the three cases in which the Joseph Smith brought a writ of habeas corpus, the first was involved a warrant of arrest issued against the Prophet and others by Illinois Gov. Thomas Carlin seeking their extradition to Missouri on outstanding 1839 indictments.
Stephen Douglas, just 27 years old at the time, heard the case and discharged the defendants on a narrow procedural issue.
The second extradition attempt stemmed from an accusation against Joseph in an assassination attempt against Gov. Lilburn W. Boggs of Missouri, who had issued the infamous extermination order driving the Latter-day Saints from that state.
The case, heard in Springfield in early 1843, was argued before Judge Nathaniel Pope, who found that the only evidence, Boggs' affidavit based on his own belief, did not establish fact.
The actors depicted a humorous bit of oratory by the Joseph Smith's attorney, Justin Butterfield. The courtroom, on the second floor of the Tinsley Building, which still exists today, was packed because so many members of the public wanted to attend to get a glimpse of Joseph Smith.
Judge Pope allowed several young women to sit on either side of him on the bench, including his daughter, attorney Butterfield's daughters and Mary Todd Lincoln, who had married Abraham Lincoln a few months earlier.
When he rose to speak, Butterfield reportedly said, "May it please the Court, I appear before you today under circumstances most novel and peculiar. I am to address the 'Pope' (bowing to the judge) surrounded by angels (bowing still lower to the ladies) in the presence of the holy Apostles in behalf of the Prophet of the Lord."
The third extradition attempt was for alleged crimes including treason arising from the 1838 conflict with Missouri mobs.
In the hearing, held at Joseph Smith's Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Joseph was freed after witnesses testified of atrocities that had been committed against the Church members, culminating in their expulsion from Missouri.
Making introductory comments in addition to Justice Garman, Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne M. Burke said the Joseph Smith depiction is the third in a series of annual trial events put on by the sponsoring organizations.
"In 2011, there was a retrial of Mary Surrat, the first woman executed by the federal government for her role in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln," she said. "In 2012, Mary Todd Lincoln was also retried for her 1875 insanity hearing." In that case, her only living son, Robert petitioned the court to declare his mother insane, due to her erratic behavior. The re-enactment last year spotlighted mental health issues that have application today.
Justice Burke added, "One of the primary purposes of these trial presentations is to educate the public about historical issues which have application to our modern-day lives. By studying our past we learn about our present and gather the necessary information to make informed decisions for the future."
Equally important, she said, is to educate the state's school children about history and the law. "This year, we have developed and will develop continuing curriculum materials on habeas corpus based on the Joseph Smith presentations. And if you're a lawyer or a teacher, this event is available for continuing education credit. The Illinois State Bar Association is providing two hours of continuing legal education and the Abraham Lincoln Library is providing two hours of teachers credit."
She added, "Our effort here this evening joins history and jurisprudence in the hope we can provide the public with a fuller understanding of the court's role in preserving our individual rights.
The re-enactment will be repeated in an encore presentation Oct. 14 at the University of Chicago, along with the panel discussion. In addition to Brother Walker, other panelists are Jeffrey D. Colman, a prominent civil rights attorney who has represented prisoners at Guantanamo Bay; Sue E. Myerscough, an Illinois appellate judge; and Michael A. Scodro, the Illinois solicitor general.1 comment on this story
Illinois attorney and state Board of Education chairman Gery J. Chico moderated the panel in Springfield. The moderator in Chicago will be David A. Strauss, professor of law at the university.
Three related events preceded the dramatization and panel discussion. On April 4, a roundtable discussion on Joseph Smith, habeas corpus and the Guantanamo Bay cases was held in the Senate hearing room at the Illinois State Capitol. On Sept. 24, experts on Joseph Smith and Church history were stationed at historic sites in Nauvoo to give presentations, and Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve spoke to a capacity audience at the Nauvoo Visitor Center about Joseph Smith.

LOS ANGELES – Let's file this under the category "Irreplaceable Canadians" for $500.
And the answer is, of course, Alex Trebek.
There's been some unimaginative rumours that Sony Pictures, the producers of the long-running game show, Jeopardy!, is "quietly" looking to replace the well-heeled Trebek when his contract ends in 2016 and he turns 75.
The New York Post ran a list of "possible" replacements including the Today's show Matt Lauer and CNN's Anderson Cooper. Ken Jennings – the long-time Jeopardy! champ – is also making it known that if there's a hosting job opening on the show, he wants it.
Scrreech. Stop!

I was a bit bewildered by the very mixed reviews of the clothing I ordered but was delighted when it arrived. The sizes were right, the colours were true to the catalogue, and everything draped well when it was on. I was particularly pleased with the long-sleeved essential scoop-neck t-shirt - lovely colours, very comfy but also a flattering shape. Hides a multitude of sins.

I have been shopping from Boden for a few years now and I love them. I only buy when they email me a good offer or during the sale. The quality is good and so is the customer service. The boys tops are great, as they always have better motifs on them than anything in the high street and they remember that boys are boys not men, with out being too twee.

I was quite happy with the arrival time and quality of the items that I have ordered although I did have a problem with one order being held in the mail room - which I was waiting for and had ordered for a particular event.

Boden (www.boden.co.uk) is a top quality catalogue, the clothes are well cut, lovely fabrics, colours and prints and fashionable without being cutting edge ie. classics that you will wear year after year. Ideal for the more mature lady like me.
Unfortunately the clothes are expensive (£59.00 for a simple linen skirt, it doesn't even have a zip or button for that price) and at £4.00 packing and postage you would expect any returns to be free.

text: Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter admitted he was satisfied with his side's performance as they romped to a 3-0 victory over Ajax Cape Town on Tuesday.According to football411.com website, Bernard Parker, Siboniso Gaxa and Siphiwe Tshabalala were all on target for Amakhosi as they climbed four points clear of second-placed Orlando Pirates, who play Chippa United 24 hours later, while the Soweto derby awaits the two rivals on Saturday. Chiefs looked largely in charge of the rain-soaked Peter Mokaba Stadium encounter, and although Baxter picked up on a few problem areas, he stated that overall he was pleased with the result. "I thought the first-half was difficult because of the weather, and I think some decision making wasn't good enough, but if we can improve our movement and defend more solidly, then we can take hold of any game. "We scored goal and created some chances and some of the attacking play was excellent." The Englishman was also pleased to see the goals come from a striker, and midfielder and a defender. He said: "The goals can come from where-ever. We can score from the back, the wings. They enjoy when they play that well, and I think we've played some excellent football. The ever critical coach did, however, add: "I thought we turned the ball over too much, and we weren't getting close enough in our pressing, but we addressed it at half-time and in the second-half it was much better. "We put much more pressure on the ball. I was happy in the second-half." Asked whether he cared to comment on Saturday's clash against the Buccaneers, a previously reserved Baxter joked: "Yes, we can talk about that now, can't we? "We're going to play properly and we'll be up for it. I'm sure it will be a good derby. I'm hoping it will be a good game, and hoping it's refereed well, and hopefully the fans can behave and enjoy a good day. Taking a moment to point out the performance of Tshabalala, the coach said: "I think that was Shabba's best game for me, and if he can keep playing like that he can play any day."

Interest Writer Addresses Issue of Adult Games in Oreimo Anime (Updated)
posted on 2010-10-05 15:22 EDT by Egan Loo
In a series of Twitter posts on Sunday and Monday, writer and author Hisashi Maeda (Steins;Gate: Onshū no Brownian Motion) noted to his surprise that the anime Oreimo is supported by many makers of adult erotic games in Japan. He added that the anime depicts a minor under 18 years old playing games that are restricted to people 18 years old or older. Maeda emphasized that he himself has no issue with this. He also emphasized that he does not side with regulation advocates who say that anime should not depict content that encourages "anti-social behavior."
However, Maeda said that he is concerned that works that depict what Oreimo does are an issue since they give adult game companies who support them no clear excuse. While the adult game industry as a whole advocates for self-regulation instead of government regulation, Maeda said that Oreimo demonstrates that the industry does not practice in reality what it says. He added that this will only provide more support for government regulation.
ANN is an Internet streaming licensee of Oreimo in North America.

Update: Maeda also opined that if the game makers are to be credited for providing the game packages seen in the anime, there should be a disclaimer either before or after the program. That way, the makers can demonstrate that "we do not endorse" the fictional depictions. Thanks, zalas.

Technology stocks have performed solidly in the face of financial distress by successfully spreading their risk. They managed this by offering a wide variety of diverse products across many markets to successfully minimize their risk.
In this article, I will discuss five stocks in the technology sector with excellent potential. I have chosen these stocks because they offer great potential at the price that they are trading. Two of the stocks (CLWR, JDSU) are speculative – there is significant risk but you can reap twice the return. On the other hand, the financial indicators of the three stocks (LLL, ALU, and LSI) are solid and their high growth potential means that they are excellent long term investments.
Clearwire (CLWR) is a wireless broadband services provider in the United States. Clearwire has a market capitalization of almost $3 billion and the average traded volume is Average volume around $13.3 million. The company had a catastrophic year in 2011 but showing good sings of recovery in 2012. The company has had a return rate of over 7% since January.
It is true that the business model of the company has suffered tremendously because of declining margins. Even though the revenues of the company more than doubled last year, it suffered a net loss of 684 million.
The financial indicators of the company are weak, which makes it an incredibly risky investment. However, technical analysis reveals that the company is that support level of the stock is in the range of $1.2 - $1.5 meaning that this is the minimum that the stock can go. The 52-week high of the stock is $6.11 and it is currently trading around $2.
This makes the stock of Clearwire a highly speculative one. It seems that the stock has almost bottomed out, which means that there is possibility that the price of the stock can double over 2012. It is a risky BUY and you should be aware of the risk you are assuming if you go long on the stock especially their high debt load.
L-3 Communications (LLL) is an intelligence and surveillance company that manufactures specialized communications systems and products.
The company has gained a BUY rating from many analysts because of its favorable run recently. The company has announced its plan to reposition that will enable it to achieve better growth. Furthermore, it is in the process of acquiring Kollmorgen Electro-Optical, which will allow it to widen the competitive moat significantly.
LLL has a market capitalization over $7 billion and average trading volume exceeding $1 million. The stock is trading around $70 and the P/E ratio is around 7.
The EPS is nearly $10 and the dividends payout ratio is 0.5. This makes the dividend yield almost 3% which means that LLL is among the few distinguished companies in the sector that has maintained an impressive dividend history.
LLL experienced a growth of almost 6% in 2011 and this combined with the solid financials and good dividend yield makes it a must BUY.
Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) has been a major surprise package. The company left its investor extremely delighted when their reported earnings were much stronger-than-expected.
The company intends to further improve their financial figures by seeking to monetize their extensive portfolio of 29,000 patents. The company will also benefit tremendously by the shift of the industry towards LTE and their own measures of increasing efficiency. The company has cut down fixed costs over the last 3 years by a total amount of €1 billion.
Alcatel-Lucent is confident for 2012 and so are its investors. The company said that it will achieve higher margins and as a result, will have more cash at the end of the year. This expectation is justified when you consider the results of the recent quarter.
The company reported an improving cash flow of €541 million, which was an improvement of 40% over the €360 million amount reported in the previous period.
The stock of ALU is trading around $2 and has hovered between $1 and $6 over the 52-week range. The trailing P/E of the company is around 8, which is highly impressive and means that investors are getting good value at the current price of the stock.
The aspect that makes ALU even more exciting is that they are all set to be awarded a contract by the Spanish company Telefonica to construct a high-speed wireless network throughout the nation. Hence, ALU is ready to conquer to Spain and this means investors are in for a highly profitable ride.
The future looks bright for ALU and its investors - a good BUY.
LSI (NYSE:LSI) is a major designer, developer, and marketer of high performance networking and storage semiconductors and systems globally.
The company has a market capitalization of around $4.8 billion and its average trading volume is almost $10.6 million. The stock price is around $8 and 52-week price range has been $5 - $8.
LSI earned 50 cents per share in the last fiscal year and its earnings are projected to grow in the future. It is expected that the company will earn around 58 cents per share in the current fiscal year and 73 cents per share in FY2013.
The balance sheet of the company is excellent and 20% of its market cap is in net cash. Analysts expect that the company will experience revenue growth of 17% in the current fiscal year. This is evident from the projected 5 year P/E to growth ratio of 0.90 of the company. This means that the company is excellent in terms of earnings with respect to its price and the overall growth that it is expected to achieve.
The price of around $8 makes the share of LSI an excellent investment – BUY.
JDS Uniphase (JDSU) produces optical products and provides measurement solutions and communication test. The market capitalization of the company is around $3.2 billion and the average trading volume is $6.1 million. The stock of JDSU is considered volatile and has been facing tough times. It dropped around $1 at the start of February, only to rebound and then rally to $13.25. The reason for the intense movement of the stock was the reported earnings for the quarter.
The gross margin and net income of the company dropped and was a warning sign for the investors who began offloading the stock. However, analysts believe that the current share price of JDU is still 16.6% less than its target price. This optimism is the perhaps the major reason for the rise in price of the stock.
There is still a high amount of risk in JDS. The financials are weak and the volatility of the stock is high. Analysts believe that the stock is undervalued and it is possible as the 52-week price range of the stock is $9 - $27. A risky speculation with high return potential – BUY at your own risk.
Technology stocks have performed solidly in the face of financial distress by successfully spreading their risk. They managed this by offering a wide variety of diverse products across many markets to successfully minimize their risk.

A while back, I blogged about the stalls and restaurants serving kuaytiaw khua kai, wide rice noodles fried with chicken and egg, near Bangkok's Phlapphlachai five-way intersection. I mentioned three places in that post, but was aware at the time that there were a few more vendors selling the dish. In particular, I'd noticed one vendor selling kuaytiaw khua pet, a previously unknown variant using duck.
Eventually I made it back, and after a few visits, this version of the dish might now be my favourite.
The dish is sold at the head of the narrow and nameless alley that leads to Nay Hong (my former favourite):
Kuaytiaw khua kai is undeniably a noodle dish, but in this part of town it's prepared a lot like a pancake: after cooking the noodles on one side (in lard, over coals, of course), with a minimum of stirring or mixing, the vendor flips the entire thing over in one go:
allowing the other side to cook, again, without stirring or breaking it up. The result is a crispy, fatty, salty and smokey disk of noodles and egg. For the duck version, the meat is cooked in advance by frying it in lard; it's then prepared the same way as the chicken version, except that crunchy preserved squid — thankfully, if you ask me — doesn't feature. (Andy Ricker has fantasised about a decadent duck version using duck fat and duck eggs — keep your eyes peeled at Pok Pok Phat Thai.)
Adjacent is a stall that does pretty good fruit shakes; I recommend the watermelon.

Hi Austin, thanks for this post. I've been eating here with my sister-in-law for several years now, whenever I visit from Chiang Mai. I thought it was our "secret" place 😉 Most places don't sear the noodles long enough to give them the crunchy goodness this place is known for. I love the coconut smoothies at the adjacent stall. We always share the chicken and duck nooodles and then meander down to a suki heng place nearby.
Hi Austin,
Not sure how the heck you found this alley. But I've been eating in this alley back when the original guy was doing Kua Gai about 25+ years ago. This alley was never a big secret with the locals as evidenced by the BMW's & Mercedes temporarily parked at the mouth of the alley on some nights. Looks like this current vendor is more of an offshoot from the original since I don't recall seeing her. I haven't been back in quite a number of years being an ex-expat. In terms of the Kua dish back in the day it wasn't quite as super fried as it was in more recent times. I find the over frying makes the dish loose the more subtle flavors. It also creates a more solid mass of crunchy texture. But in any case I'll be trying duck version on my next trip this September.
Here's another little tip: In the early mornings there's a spectacular home made soy milk vendor at the other end of this alley. From the mouth of this alley walk to the end and turn right.
FYI I used to live two buildings away from this alley (next to the Shell station).
To get here via taxi, tell them Tanon Suan Mali (old name of the current Suapa Rd) next to Central Hospital (need the thai translation).
There's some other secret vendors nearby that I'll keep to myself for now.
I'll be back in the area to shoot a photo essay.
Awesome, Steve. I can't imagine it's changed much over the years. And the soy milk sounds intriguing — will investigate soon.

Ireland's first BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) degree in Musical Theatre
American College Dublin is proud to present a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre commencing September 2016. This unique offering in Ireland will meet the growing demand for musical theatre education in this country and overseas.
This exciting new programme is accredited with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE), which also accredits such well-known institutions as the Juilliard School, the Tisch School of Performing Arts at NYU, and the Lewis Centre for the Arts at Princeton University.
The BFA is a qualification which combines a high level of conservatory-style training in the fine arts with robust instruction in related areas of academic study, thus providing the student with a range of practical and academic transferable skills.
Deirdre Masterson, founder and director of The Irish College of Music Theatre has been appointed Head of Programme for Performing Arts at American College Dublin. She will be joined by several established instructors in the musical theatre educational field, including: David Wray, Aileen Donoghoe, Eoin Cannon, Mary McDonogh and Christine Scarry
During an interview, Masterson stated: "The new BFA degree allow students the possibility of not having to emigrate to the UK or US to study musical theatre and at a fraction of the cost."
The introductory BFA fees are €6,450 per annum for 4 years, as against more than €15,000 for a similar course in any of the competing colleges in the UK.

Not Laughing at Sexist Gag Gifts
Nothing says "Merry Christmas!" like an offensive, sexist gift.
I'm a big fan of weird novelty and gag products. On my desk at work, I have a miniature replica of my own office, made from Cubes figurines. At home, I've got Fighting Grandads wind-up toys and ice cube trays that make icebergs and the Titanic shapes.
But sometimes, novelty gifts stray away from being slightly odd to being just plain sexist. It's never more apparent than at Christmas time, when these products get promoted as great gifts.
Example 1: Control-a-Man & Control-a-Woman Remote Controls.
The description for this product sells these remotes as a replacement for couples therapy: "Get him to take you shopping, stop farting, and most importantly, propose! Get her to hurry up in the bathroom, cook you a great meal, and strip on command."
Obviously it's a joke, but it's a joke that relies on the assumption that women are out to change men's habits and trap them into marriage, while all men want women to be domestic goddesses with insatiable libidos.
Example 2: Fake Hickeys.
These fake hickeys from gagsandgoods.com, which "adhere like temporary tattoos," are marketed to men, but the picture shows one on the cheek of a sleeping woman. I know I'd be pretty pissed if I woke up to find that someone had put a fake hickey on my face, especially one I might not be able to wash off before work.
Is it only considered an appropriate prank because society treats women's bodies as the property of men? Does that make it acceptable to play this kind of potentially humiliating and sexualized joke?
Example 3: Girl Flu Rescue Kit
This gift contains a "Grumpy, but Gorgeous" eye mask and a notepad for the sick girl to ask for gossip, trashy TV, a new credit card, ice cream, or wine. This reinforces the stereotype that women are moody and fragile and want men to give them money for shopping.
The sad thing is, it's not like the sexist assumptions underlying these types of gifts are necessary for humor. I'm aware of no such beliefs underlying the awesome Deluxe Librarian Action Figure set, modeled on real librarian Nancy Pearl, featuring deluxe shushing action:
Or, how about using a remote control on some Hopping Yodelling Liederhosen instead of your girlfriend?
If you want to make someone else merry this Christmas, it's more than possible to do it with a funny gift that doesn't demean women.

Ashley on 12-08-2010Wow those are pretty ridiculous. Of course, anyone in my circle of people would then say I have no sense of humor and that it's not meant to be serious (which somehow they think that makes it ok).
Chani on 12-08-2010They only think it's funny when they're not on the receiving end of one of those gags. Can you imagine getting one of those remotes from your mate? "Hey sweetie, I secretly wish you were a mindless, controllable sex robot. Happy Christmas!"

Jarrah on 12-09-2010Thanks for the comments! Chani, your response made my day!
And Ashley, I know what you mean. It's such a stereotype that feminists just want to rain on your parade and say it's not okay to laugh at things that aren't PC. But like I point out, there are so many options for funny gifts that aren't sexist! There's no reason funny has to equal sexist.
