To reach maximum yields, you have to minimize the stress on a corn plant. As Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie puts it: Keep corn happy and never let it have a bad day.
In the quest for top yields, several variables come into play.
"In many test plots, we've just pushed populations higher to see what the outcome is," Ferrie says. "Not only do some hybrids flatline, they go backward."
For three years, the Farm Journal Test Plots team studied hybrid response to nitrogen (N) stress with various timed applications. Working with AgriGold Hybrids, we were able to confirm their recommendations for N timing according to hybrid family.
In 2009, we continued our work with AgriGold and launched a new plot to learn more about stress on corn plants categorized by ear type.
"We look at their pedigrees and study parent lines in and out of the field to know as much as we can about a hybrid's genetic characteristics," says Mike Kavanaugh, AgriGold agronomy manager.
Ear types. Based on the genetic characteristics, seed companies can place hybrids in one of three categories: those that will flex the most, semi-flex and those that will flex the least.
"Every hybrid flexes, but how they flex varies," Ferrie says. "Some flex in length, some flex in girth and most just flex in kernel depth so you get a bigger ear with the same amount of kernels."
One of the factors farmers consider when deciding to replant is ear type.
"Farmers know that if they lose stand, a flex hybrid will fill in those gaps," Ferrie says. "However, if a fixed ear type loses plant count, it won't be as easy for it to pick up the slack."
Ferrie has observed that even though a flex ear can maintain its yield despite stand loss, plant stress seems to take a toll on these types of hybrids.
"When we work with population plots and push plant densities from too low to too high, the determinant hybrids climb and top out in yield and then flatten until they go down in yield,"

Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook
This a serious but very positive cookbook review.
We all hope for a long and healthy life. Longevity is now much more attainable — remember when "50" was old? Thanks, in part, to modern medicine we can expect to live far longer than we might have dreamed.
The catch here, and there's often a catch in life, is that a longer life through modern medicine often involves a battle with cancer. Sometimes that battle is won outright. Sometimes the battle is lost, but only after precious years are secured.
You, a family member, or an acquaintance may have had that cancer diagnosis or will. When you hear the word "cancer", your world changes.
Fighting the battle is crucially dependent on nutrition. And the cancer treatments can often make the tasks of cooking and eating complicated. Appetites can fade. Certain foods may not be tolerated any more. Your daily life is turned upside down just as your life itself is threatened.
The Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook is designed for this new stage of life. There are over 150 recipes providing superior nutrition without sacrificing taste. The book has been compiled with the expertise of two prominent oncologists and a nutritionist. This is a professional approach groomed to deal with a very personal problem.
The recipes are flagged to show which ones can help mitigate common side effects of cancer treatment, such as nausea. There are recipes for the "cooking challenged" and ideas for "make ahead" dishes that provide you up to six small meals and snacks spread throughout the day.
The reassuring thing about these recipes is that old friends are here so that your "diet" will not have to be totally transformed:
- Old-Fashioned Beef Pot Roast
- Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
- Hot Turkey Sandwiches
- Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry
- Oven-Fried Potato Wedges
- Baked French Toast with Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce
This book will be an important asset for anyone facing the battle. Fortunately, it will make that struggle much less arduous.
Cilantro Sauce
Cilantro is a lively herb that we mostly encounter diced up in salsa or in guacamole. The sharp flavor is unmistakable. Cooked cilantro? That's a much more rare experience, yet this sauce will convince you of some hidden flavor powers of cilantro.
This sauce is a thick, dense amalgam of cilantro and chicken-based stock. It has a deep, almost earthy flavor. Originally, this sauce was recommended for roasted chicken breasts, but we served it on turkey breast [see yesterday's post for a turkey breast recipe].
Beyond poultry, this sauce would work brilliantly with fish, or serve as the sauce component for Mexican dish. Using this sauce in a burrito or enchilada will spark flavor buds and curiosity.
This sauce can be created in just a few minutes and, like all good leftovers, seems to be even more yummy the day after.
Cilantro Sauce
Yield: 1 ½ cup
- 2 cups water
- l chicken bouillon cube
- l bunch cilantro, stemmed
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Follow the usual instruction for a bouillon cube: heating 2 cups of water with the cube until the cube melts. You will use only half of this mixture. Or, you can double the recipe!
In a blender, combine the cilantro, cream, and one cup of the chicken bouillon. Blend well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes; do not brown. Whisk in the cilantro mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture boils and thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper.

The main symptom of pericarditis is chest pain. Often it's a sharp, stabbing pain that comes on quickly. The pain tends to gets worse when the child lies down or breathes deeply and to get better when they sit up and lean forward. Sometimes it's a dull pain, or it feels more like pressure in the chest.
A child with pericarditis might also feel weak or more tired than normal, or have a dry cough, fever or trouble breathing.
If there's too much fluid pressing on the heart, the heart may not be able to fill with as much blood as it should. This is called cardiac tamponade (pronounced tam-pah-NAID). It can keep the heart from pumping enough blood to the body. This is dangerous and can make the blood pressure drop too low.
To diagnose this condition, your doctor will examine your child and use a stethoscope to listen to their heart and lungs. Sometimes doctors can hear the sound of the pericardium rubbing on the heart or the sound of fluid in the pericardium or the lungs.
The doctor will ask for details about any symptoms your child has, their health history and your family health history.
Your child will need tests that provide more information about how their heart looks and works. These may include electrocardiogram, echocardiography, chest X-rays, a CT (computed tomography) scan, or an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the heart.
They may also need blood tests to check for infection.

Traditional Enterprise Database vendors often bring up the lack of professional monitoring and management tool support for NoSQL solutions. Their argument is that enterprise applications require sophisticated tuning and monitoring of the database in order to ensure a performant and smooth operation. NoSQL Vendors, while arguing that this lack is not enough to favor RDBMS over their respective solutions, do agree. Several vendors try to differentiate themselves by providing enterprise level monitoring and management software, for example, Cassandra, MongoDB, HBase or others. Both are of course correct that monitoring and management of especially the performance aspect is important, but at the same time they are making the same mistake that RDBMS vendors have made for the last decade: they ignore the application.
Application Performance Management for Databases
What matters in the end is not the database performance itself, but the performance of the application that uses the database. We have explained the different problem patterns numerous times in this blog (...) so I won't go into them. All of them however have one thing in common: the application logic drives how the database is used and there is only so much that you can tune on the database to cover for mistakes on the application side. So we need to monitor and optimize that usage pattern itself. Application Logic again is driven by input data or in most cases end user interaction, thus we need to understand how end user behavior and end user actions drive the database usage. On the other hand we need to understand the impact of the database on these actions. What's important to understand is that the database can work and perform to the highest standards and still be the main bottleneck as far as the application is concerned - if it is wrongly used or has a bad access pattern. RDBMS and NoSQL Databases have that in common. Therefore the fundamental way I, as a performance engineer, do application performance analysis and management does not change:
First we need to understand if a particular business transaction slows down, has a general performance problem and if this has an impact on the end user:
Do any of the business transactions violate a baseline or have negative end user experience
Next we would isolate the high level cause of the slow down or performance issue. There are many ways of doing this, but it's always some kind of fault domain isolation:
Transaction Flow shows that we spend ~15 % waiting for the Database
This Transaction Flow shows that the Business Backend is calling a Cassandra Database Cluster
This tells us if we spend time waiting on the database. We see that there is not much difference between a regular database and something like an Apache Cassandra!
What's important here is that if the database shows up as the main contributor, this does not mean that the database itself is at fault, it might just be the applications usage of it. Thus I would need to check the usage and access pattern next:
This shows the select statements executed within a particular transaction type
This shows all Cassandra database statements against all participating Cassandra servers executed in a particular transaction
Here I might see that the reason for bad performance is that we execute too many statements per transaction, or that we read too much data. If that is the case I would need to check the application logic itself and potentially need a developer to fix it. The developer would of course want to understand where, why and in which particular transaction the statements are executed.
This shows a single Transaction (PurePath) and the Cassandra Statements executed within it
If however a particular statement is slow we, might very well have a database issue and I would talk to the DBA. The only difference in case of a NoSQL solution in this process is that you often have a database cluster, so I would want to understand if the problem is isolated to a particular node or not. And the DBA will want to understand if my access pattern leads to a good distribution across that cluster or if I am hammering away at a subset of them.
This hotspot view shows that Cassandra Server Node3 consumes much more Wait and I/O time than the others
The nice thing is that all in all my analysis does not differ between JDBC, ADO, Cassandra or one of the many NoSQL solutions.
APM Solution Support
There is of course a caveat here; it requires some level of support of the APM solution of choice. Sometimes it might be enough to see API calls on the NoSQL client in my response time breakdown. More often than not of course a little bit more context is desired, like which ColumnFamily is accessed and how many rows are read or which Database Node in the Cluster is serving a read. For this and the afore mentioned reasons I argue that APM solution support of your chosen Database or NoSQL solution is as important as the monitoring of the database itself.
I have spent considerable time tuning SQL statements and indexes, but in the end the best optimizations have always been those on the application and how the application uses the database. SQL Tuning almost always adds complexity and often is a workaround over bad application or data structure design. In the NoSQL world "SQL statement" tuning for the most part is a task of the past, but Data Structure Design has retained its importance! At the same time logic that traditionally resided in the database is now in the application layer, making application design even more important than before. So while some things have shifted, from an Application Performance Engineering Perspective I have to say: nothing really changed, it's still about the application. Now more than ever!

They draw the line: Natural flirts know when and where to stop. They will not lead someone on unnecessarily or give them the wrong idea about their real feelings and cause heartache or heartbreak, neither will they come on too strong and make you want to run for your dear life. Consciously nor not, they set limits for themselves, and follow them.

Stone Gossard is continuing to preview tracks from his upcoming second solo album, Moonlander . The Pearl Jam guitarist's latest offering is "I Don't Want to Go to Bed," which Gossard says deals with some heavy themes.
"This song came from a darker place than the other songs on the record," explains the guitarist in a statement posted on Pearl Jam's website. "In terms of the lyric, it's a straight metaphor for leave me alone, lock the door, and don't tell me what to do."
Moonlander is set to arrive in stores on June 26. You can stream "I Don't Want to Go to Bed," along with a number of other tracks from the upcoming release, at PearlJam.com/Moonlander .

So we're a little more than a month away from yet another round of Capitol Hill-induced economic chaos. I'm speaking of course, about the reappearing sequestration. The sequester is a set of automatically occurring cuts to federal spending that will hit both defense and social budget items. The idea was to make the cuts so horrible that the politicians on Capitol Hill would work hard to avoid them more »
United Technologies Looks to a Strong 2013 After a Transformative 2012
By RJ Towner - January 24, 2013 | Tickers: UTX
United Technologies (NYSE: UTX) posted mixed fourth-quarter results as it ended what we'd describe as a transformational year. The company scooped up aerospace supplier Goodrich and a larger stake in International Aero Engines (IAE) during 2012, two moves I applaud as both increase the firm's exposure to a burgeoning commercial aerospace delivery advance in coming years.
Sales during the quarter jumped 14% from the prior-year period, though organic more »
Lockheed Martin: What Will Defense Spending Mean for Shareholders?

The world's largest military weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), faces a somewhat uncertain future. Over the past decade, the company has been a rock-solid investment; with several wars going on and ever-increasing defense spending, the company has been able to not only gradually increase shareholder value, but also build up a substantial dividend yield of just under 5%, which is one of the highest among large-cap stocks.

On the Dividend Trash Pile: Defense Stocks
By Reuben Brewer - November 8, 2012 | Tickers: GD, LMT, RTN |
Wall Street hates uncertainty and there is a good deal of it right now for the defense industry. Even if sequestration is avoided, there is a good likelihood that the industry will still see budget cuts. With that as a backdrop, however, three companies worth keeping an eye on are Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), and Raytheon (NYSE: RTN).
Industry Leaders in the Bargain Bin

International Appetite for US Defense Stocks is Still Strong
By Edgar Ambart - October 12, 2012 | Tickers: AVAV, RTN, TXN, BA
United States military expenditures account for 19% of our total federal spending and 28% of our revenues. For 2012 our estimated defense budget is expected to be in the range of $1.0 - $1.4 trillion. There is no question that when it comes to military spending, America still remains to be in the lead from China and Russia. But our military strength sometimes forces investors to forget about the more »
It's Official! 3D Printing is Going Mainstream!

Secular Themes - Investing in Business Jets
By Justin Carley - July 31, 2012 | Tickers: GD, TXT
Business jet usage and growth is one of my preferred long-term investing trends and recent results from industry leaders Textron (NYSE: TXT) and General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) highlight the bullish thesis. I first highlighted Textron back in December 2011 with the stock price at $18. It now resides at $25 following two consecutive blow-out earnings releases. The bullish outlook essentially rests on the concept that the increasing number of ultra-wealthy more »
Boeing Pushing for Supply Chain Mergers

For months, the identity of the person who recorded Mitt Romney's infamous 47% remarks at a $50,000-per-person fundraising dinner during the presidential campaign remained a mystery.
That was until Wednesday night during an exclusive interview with msnbc's Ed Schultz. Scott Prouty said he wrestled with whether or not to go public with the tape for a few weeks. But once it was out, what was his reaction to how it played out in the campaign?

President Obama and Mitt Romney met today for the first time since the president's sweeping electoral-vote reelection Thursday over lunch at the White House.
Over an hour — and white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad — the once-bitter rivals talked about "America's leadership in the world" and "pledged to stay in touch," according to the White House.

If Mitt Romney had won the presidential election, insiders say, it's not hard to imagine what he and his number two, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, would have been tackling on this very day.
An extensive preparation plan dubbed the "Romney Readiness Project," pulled together by the GOP nominee's team and no longer of any use, offers detailed insight into how ready he was to take the reins, the sources told NBC News.

The Power (1984)
|Tags: 80's, cheesy, demonic, gem, idol, Possession, the power, underrated
Rating #:6/10
Director:Stephen Carpenter, Jeffrey Obrow
Runtime:84 minutes
Cast:Susan Stokey, Warren Lincoln, Lisa Erickson, Chad Christian, Ben Gilbert, Chris Morrill, Rod Mays, school, students, J. Dinan Myrtetus
Well this turned out to be a surprisingly decent and underrated 80's horror gem for me. Although the premise didn't really stand out to be anything entirely original, the events and execution of the film proved to be an entertaining watch. The directors Stephen Carpenter and Jeffrey Obrow are no noobs to the genre, working together to deliver the slasher Pranks a couple years prior and going on to do The Kindred in '87. Then Stephen attempted to do a film on his own entitled Soul Survivors in '01, which sucked for the most part and the two haven't really done much since.
The movie basically revolves around this powerful ancient Aztec idol that has been passed down from generation to generation, granting the person who possesses it with "great power." Naturally unbeknownst to the owner, that power comes with a cost -- normally ending in a grizzly death or the spirit of the idol taking over the owner's body, and turning them into a Gollum-like fiend. After a few deaths in the beginning we begin to follow a few high school kids, who you'd think are the leads for the film, but the real leads are a couple of journalists who come across the story of the idol.
Naturally one of the reporters gets a little too involved and is seduced by the chance of power from the idol, which eventually turns him into a possessive freakish murderer when he gets a hold of it. The practical effects for the movie were actually pretty decent and the kills were all unique in their own way. We've got one scene where a dude is lifted in the air and impaled on a flag pole and another where a guy gets his head crushed by some heavy objects. The movie keeps at a solid pace, switching back and forth from the journalists and kids every now and then as the story progresses. Although the movie is predictable and falls prey to a lot of the clichés of the 80's, the interesting deaths and uncommon foe kept me entertained for the most part.
An unknown and underrated 80's horror gem that offers an interesting premise and decent practical effects. Worth a check for something a little different, if you can find it that is.

If you are in the website business then you have a clear aim about your website's future. You most certainly measure a website success by daily user visits. When you are selling a certain product, then you might also check the daily sold items statistics. No matter if you are going for advertisement or selling products, traffic is always important. Iy you are getting below 3000 hits per day, you are not making any money.
For achieving this minimum goal, how much time do you give yourself to convert your website project into a successful project with plenty of traffic? Do you have a time frame that indicates that you have to close down your site because of not achieving your desired statistics?
In the planning of a site, you should have set your goals of the website project very precisely. My initial fitnessmotto.com goal was not to build a successful website but to motivate myself doing fitness. I did partly manage to transform my idea of doing more fitness. Daily fitness routines have been established over the last couple months. So, there is actually a change but the change is not really huge, at least not yet. On the other hand, my motivational website has practically no traffic which isn't very motivating. While building the fitness site, the motivation started already on a high level, later on the site engagement decreased since no one was actually participating.
The website facts after a couple months:
- the fitness website did motivate me only partly
- the website traffic is pretty low
- low search engine keyword results
Here are the stats of the fitness site
Can I still turn this site into a mindblowing project?
In order to transform a project into a desired goal, I will have to analyse everything I have done so far. Did I do marketing for the site? A little! By a little I mean that I have done some link building and sporadic radio ads in California and Great Britain.
What is the fitness website slogan or focus?
It has been a social network pinning strategy where users can pin their favorite fitness motivation videos and pictures around the web on one site. The idea of it is temporary okay. Users could of course also choose to go to pinterest. So I think that I could only manage to turn this project around if my content is unique. Fitness itself is more fun when people join up in a group and focus on a goal. That's why I would like to remain the social part of the site. But what I chould change is the purpose, the reason…
Here is my idea for the fitness motto idea:
Users create fitness motto tasks and other users fulfill the tasks filming performing their tasks. Only users who fullfilled a task can create new fitness motto tasks. Every fitness task should have a motto.
What do you think of this idea?
Note about an advice from Aaron Swartz
Aaron Swartz was a very successful web entrepreneur who commited suicide a couple days ago.
Words of Advice
What's the secret? How can I boil down things I do into pithy sentences that make myself sound as good as possible? Here goes:
- Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. I think a lot of what people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity.
- Say yes to everything. I have a lot of trouble saying no, to an pathological degree — whether to projects or to interviews or to friends. As a result, I attempt a lot and even if most of it fails, I've still done something.
- Assume nobody else has any idea what they're doing either. A lot of people refuse to try something because they feel they don't know enough about it or they assume other people must have already tried everything they could have thought of. Well, few people really have any idea how to do things right and even fewer are to try new things, so usually if you give your best shot at something you'll do pretty well.
I followed these rules. And here I am today, with a dozen projects on my plate and my stress level through the roof once again.

Columbus State University kicks off a year long history series focusing on America's fight for Civil Rights and the Freedom Riders who challenged segregation back in the 1960s.
Charles Person, one of the original 13 freedom riders, spoke at CSU on Thursday.
Person was 18 and the youngest of the Freedom Riders who challenged authorities for equal rights...being badly beaten at times.
The Freedom Riders rode interstate buses into the south to fight for their rights.
Person says what started as 13 people ended up being over 400 Freedom Riders....half of them were African American and the other half White.
"A lot of the kids just woke up one morning and said, 'I want to be a Freedom Rider.' Here's the thing, Freedom Riders knew you're either going to get beat up, your bus is going to get burned, or you're going to jail. And they still came...they still came. Can you explain it? I can't because most people, when you realize the alternative, you would have stayed at home, but these young people came from all over the country, and also several nations. We had ten international students that were apart of the Freedom Rides," Person says.
CSU's yearlong series will feature films and speakers, as well as the Freedom Rider exhibit accessible in the library through November 7.

Join TSN.ca in a 30 Teams In 30 Days tour of the NHL in preparation for the upcoming season. Today, we examine the 2011-12 campaign for the Philadelphia Flyers. Get the lowdown on their off-season and the issues they face this season. And use the Your Call feature to give us your take!
Here's a hypothetical situation: You are the general manager of a team built around two young superstars trying to return to the Stanley Cup Final after a disappointing second-round playoff exit. How do you address your team's future?
Naturally, you deal the two superstars.
What the Philadelphia Flyers did this off-season to remake the look of their franchise was bold, to say the least. The exodus of Jeff Carter and Mike Richards and the additions of Ilya Bryzgalov, Jaromir Jagr and Brayden Schenn make the Flyers a vastly different club to compete against, but will it produce a better result?
Here's a look at what's in store for the 2011-12 season.
Additions: G Jason Bacashihua, G Ilya Bryzgalov, RW Jaromir Jagr, D Andreas Lilja, RW Wayne Simmonds, C Brayden Schenn, C Maxime Talbot, RW Jakub Voracek
Subtractions: LW Dan Carcillo, C Jeff Carter, G Brian Boucher, LW Ville Leino, D Sean O'Donnell, RW Darroll Powe, C Mike Richards, D Danny Syvret, RW Kris Versteeg, RW Nikolay Zherdev
Prospect Report: The primary benefit to trading a pair of All-Stars for Philly is the immediate impact it had on their prospect pool. The acquisition of Schenn gives them arguably hockey's most NHL-ready prospect and a potential future captain.
The team also scooped up a player with No. 1 potential on draft day by catching Sean Couturier with Columbus' first-rounder (acquired for Carter). If his sky-high talent can translate to the NHL, he'll be a stud. And Philly might need him to do so, because behind him the organizational depth is very thin due to years of trading draft picks.
Breakout Player to Watch: In the 2010 postseason, the Flyers watched Claude Giroux emerge as a dominant force. And he responded in kind by leading the team in scoring last season.
In the 2011 playoffs, it was James van Riemsdyk that blew the doors off defenders by scoring seven goals in 11 games. If the Flyers' All-Star dispersal strategy is to pay off, it will largely hinge on van Riemsdyk becoming a 70-point player. He put up 40 last season. That number could balloon with top-line minutes and first-unit power-play time.
Marquee Match-Up: Jan. 2 vs. Rangers - The Flyers will play host to the New York Rangers at Citizens Bank Park, home of baseball's Philadelphia Phillies in the Winter Classic. The NHL's annual outdoor game is always a highlight.
Other Dates to Watch: Oct. 15 vs. Kings - For some reason - and that reason remains within the Flyers organization - the captaincy of Mike Richards just wasn't working out. The friendly Philly fans won't have to wait long for his return, as the Kings come to town in the club's second home game of the season. Oct. 6 at Boston - After being bounced in the second round, the Flyers must watch the Bruins raise their Stanley Cup banner on opening night. Nov. 5 vs. Blue Jackets - Carter lines up against his former Flyer mates for the first time. Dec. 29 - Max Talbot's first game back in Pittsburgh as a member of the cross-state rival (not to mention Jagr, who turned down his former team on July 1). Dec. 3 at Phoenix - After four years with the Coyotes, Bryzgalov returns to the desert a Flyer.
Reason to Get Excited: Few teams can overhaul their rosters so dramatically without missing a beat. Philly may be one of the teams that have the depth to do so.
Giroux and Briere are expected to carry the load offensively and the team's leadership may already have been handed over to Chris Pronger. The message to Philly fans at the time was 'we'll be fine'. When you tack the completion of the Bryzgalov signing and luring Jagr to town, the Flyers may actually be better.
Home Hardware: Brayden Schenn dominated the WHL last season with 57 points in just 29 games. At the World Juniors, he set a Canadian record with 18 points despite playing part of the tournament with a separated shoulder. He finished his year by playing at just under a point-per-game pace with the AHL's Manchester Monarchs.
There are many contenders for the Calder Trophy. Schenn may very well be the favourite heading into the season.
On The Hot Seat: If there is one position that has been a concern for the Flyers over the course of history, it's been in net. Since Ron Hextall's departure, the revolving door of keepers in Philly has been a constant hindrance to the team's ability to win it all.
The newest contestant on 'Name That Goalie' is Bryzgalov. The Russian keeper has posted a save percentage over .920 and a goals-against-average under 2.50 in three of the past four seasons and is a perpetual Vezina candidate. That said, he hasn't won a playoff series since 2006. He'll have to step up when it matters most to prove he's worth his nine-year, $51-million deal.
It's Your! Call: Which Jaromir Jagr will emerge in Philadelphia this year?
Jagr is no stranger to victimizing NHL defenders, but his final season in the NHL (2007-08) was also his only full NHL season where he didn't score at least one point per game.
The future Hall of Fame is 39-years-old and has been playing in the KHL for the past three seasons. To be fair, he's put up decent numbers there with 146 points in 155 games.
He also looked dominant at this spring's World Championship, forming a formidable combo with Tomas Plekanec, scoring nine points in as many games en route to winning the award for Best Forward.
Jagr obviously came back to the NHL for a reason and it may well be that his competitive streak has returned and he'd like to try for his first Cup ring since 1992.
The benefit to Philly is that with a talented core of Giroux, van Riemsdyk and Briere and with the potential for Voracek and Schenn to emerge as top-line offensive forces, they may only need Jagr to contribute in a supporting role.
But will he be able to keep up with the league's young superstars as he approaches the age of 40? As always, It's Your! Call.

CENTRAL HIGH, Okla._ Parents here are outraged that a school bus driver that was photographed texting and driving still has his job.
The parents frustration doesn't stop there, either; they say the bus driver is also pictured parked on the side of the road sweeping trash out of the bus while students watched from inside.
"When I leave that house to go to work I shouldn't have to worry …," says Tamela Heaton, who puts two of her kids on that bus every morning.
She says his behavior is inexcusable: "How many chances do you give this man? Are you going to wait until the bus is flipped over on the side of the road for them to say 'enough is enough, we've got to do something.' I don't want to see it come to that," says Heaton.
One parent, Angela Best, was so concerned she presented the issue at the Dec. 8 school board meeting. Since then, however, including at this week's most recent school board meeting, nothing has been done about the issue. Parents say the proof is in the black and white.
"There's a photo, there is evidence right there," Heaton says. "It shouldn't take any more than that."
Heaton and Best both say the best result for the safety of their children would be for the bus driver to be replaced.
"That should be the top priority, the safety of our children and I don't feel like that is right now because nothing has been done about it," says Heaton.
Parents also say after the Dec. 8 board meeting when the driver was reprimanded, he started pulling the bus over to the side of road and composing his text messages. The driver also allegedly threatened the kids on the bus saying he would find out sooner or later who took those pictures.
Bennie Newton, Central High superintendent, said over the phone that he would not comment on the ongoing investigation because it involves on of the district's employees.

Wabtec: SWOT Analysis
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Wabtec (NYSE: WAB) is the sort of stock that private investors should be all about. In short they make airbrakes and control systems for railcars. It's not the sort of industry that will get hearts racing or brokers calling you over, but that is the good news! Who cares about being in the fashionable attention grabbing stocks? The idea is to make money and Wabtec has done that for you for the last 11 years in a row. And bar any sudden mishap it will do it again this year.
In a break from the norm, I thought it would be interesting to do a SWOT analysis on the firm.
- Wabtec has very strong market positioning with only one major competitor (Faiveley SA) in its core market of railcar air brakes
- Strong history of converting 125% of income into free cash flow
- Consistent margin performance over the years
- Essential product with good recurring revenues based on railcar usage
- Well positioned in to benefit from Positive Train Control (PTC) legislation in the US
- Solid multi-year contracts with customers gives good visibility of earnings
- Intermodal traffic is growing the US
- FedEx is reporting increased demand for freight services over its express offering in the US
- The company is heavily exposed to one industry
- Growth is somewhat dependent on political developments as railway infrastructure is subject to political risk
- Cash flow conversion will be weaker with international growth as servicing overseas markets tend to require more working capital
- Transit revenues are growing faster than freight and this can tend to lower margins
- Subject to risk of any high profile failure in its products
- Growth is somewhat subject to new transit car deliveries
- Rail travel tends to be more energy efficient and Governments in developed economies will want to be supportive
- Emerging market economies are keen to develop energy efficient transport intercity transport infrastructure and high speed rail
- Transit rail is relatively scarce in the US but investment from Amtrak and others is increasing
- Positive Train Control (PTC) revenues have risen from $125m last year to a forecast $200m with more growth expected next year
- The rail industry is set for good long term growth as Governments look to support more energy efficient transport and Wabtec's solutions are known for their quality
- Shale Gas development is driving growth in certain types of freight
- Global economy ultimately guides transportation volumes so Wabtec is not immune
- End market investment is in rail is guided by Government led infrastructural spending and that is subject to political will
- Decreasing coal car loads is hurting an area of demand for Wabtec
- Wabtec is expanding in European markets where margins may be lower and internal competition more fierce
Essentially, the key points of the SWOT analysis are as above but, they need to be put in the context of Wabtec's evaluation. The stock has had a great run this year, but I think it remains attractive. The key question is not so much about this year or the next, but rather how growth starts to look like when the "push" from PTC legislation starts to tail off before 2015.
Another issue will be the structural decline in coal transportation. Railroad companies like Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) and CSX (NYSE: CSX) have both reported disappointing numbers recently and this is mainly due to coal. This weakness mirrors the carload numbers from coal issued by the Association of American Railroads. And less railcar loads usually means less transport miles and ultimately less aftermarket demand for products and services.
Moreover, geographic expansion brings with it the risk of margin erosion and greater working capital requirements. It also brings with it some uncertainty. China has not distinguished itself by demonstrating a willingness to "buy foreign" when it can produce its own technology as many foreign firms have found it.
Nevertheless, long term prospects do look good for rail. General Electric (NYSE: GE) has been reporting strong growth in transportation revenues and expressing confidence over the willingness for infrastructural investment to favor rail as a mode of freight and transit travel. This augurs well and Wabtec's evaluation of 17x earnings does not look particularly expensive, especially when you consider that 125% of those earnings usually get converted into free cash flow.

Our Primary Mission
To provide leadership for the improvement and expansion of Project Management across state government through coordination and communication, standardization and measurement, and mentoring and coaching.
To improve the management of IT investments over their life cycle by providing expert advice, formal education and training, extensive documentation and personal instruction on the underlying theories and concepts of portfolio management. Training in the use of the supporting software tool is a key component of this mission.
Our Legislative Responsibility
The Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) was established in 2004 to assist the State CIO (SCIO) in his legislated responsibility to improve the management of IT projects in state government. The EPMO is one component of this legislation; NC General Statutes - Chapter 147 Article 3D.
The State CIO has legislative oversight authority to review and approve State agency IT projects; develop standards and accountability measures for IT projects (including criteria for adequate project management); to require status reporting; to assign a project management advisor (PMA); and, if necessary, to suspend projects. The purpose of this legislation is to help to ensure that quality IT projects are delivered in a cost effective and timely manner.
By law, agencies must provide for a project manager who meets the applicable quality assurance standards for each IT project. The agency project manager is responsible for managing the project and providing periodic reports which shall include information regarding projects costs; issues related to hardware, software or training; projected and actual completion dates and any other information related to the implementation of the IT project.
Our Vision
The EPMO provides professional oversight to facilitate successful IT projects through assessing projects and facilitating resolution of issues, risks and roadblocks and by providing early warnings if a project is likely to fail. The EPMO does this through applying professional experience and best practices and by providing full and complete information to the SCIO to ensure the SCIO can respond appropriately.
We also engage agencies in understanding and applying IT portfolio management concepts to IT projects, applications and IT investments (plans and budgets). This is done through IT Portfolio Management services, which provides financial, technical, and management personnel with a knowledge and understanding of the theories, concepts, and disciplines of portfolio management. The service also includes training and support for the use of the Portfolio Management software tool to improve the planning, budgeting, and management of IT, especially IT investments.

What is juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME)?
People with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) have myoclonic seizures, characterized by quick little jerks of the arms, shoulders, or occasionally the legs. These usually occur in the early morning, soon after awakening. The myoclonic jerks sometimes are followed by a tonic-clonic seizure or tonic-clonic seizures can occur independently. Absence seizures also may occur, where the patient seems to 'blank out' for a short period of time that can last from seconds to several minutes.
The seizures of JME may begin between late childhood and early adulthood, usually around the time of puberty.
Treatment for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME)
Seizures in the majority of patients with JME are well controlled with medication generally prescribed to treat seizure disorders, but most need to stay on medication for life.
Request an appointment
For more information about juvenile myoclonic epilepsy or to meet with our doctors, request an appointment at the Epilepsy Center.

Tinsley Ellis
This powerhouse Atlanta-born blues-rock guitarist returned to his longtime label Alligator in 2005 with a fiery live set called "Highwayman." Two years later, "Moment of Truth" put him back in the studio for another in a series of acclaimed albums, prompting this from a reviewer in Billboard: "In the last five years, no one has released more consistently excellent blues albums than Atlanta's Tinsley Ellis, and his latest project once again validates his status." His most recent album, "Speak No Evil," came out in 2009.
8:30 p.m. March 30. $20; $17.50 in advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.

"Destiny dictates the meeting of soulmates. We will meet them. But what we decide to do after that meeting falls in the province of choice or free will. A wrong choice or a missed chance can lead to incredible loneliness and suffering. A right choice, an opportunity realized, can bring us to profound bliss and happiness."
