ConAgra Foods Inc. (CAG - Analyst Report), a leading North American food company, reported impressive fiscal second quarter 2013 (ended November 25, 2012) results. The company saw a significant rise in the earnings due to improvements in the Lamb Weston potato operations coupled with improved pricing. ConAgra, hopeful of further improvement in the future, also increased its earnings outlook for fiscal 2013.
Let's take a brief look at the company's financials for the fiscal second quarter 2013:
Earnings Review
The manufacturer of branded and non-branded food posted a 16.3% increase year over year in the earnings on a continuing basis, adjusted for comparability, to settle down at 57 cents for the quarter. The results surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 55 cents by 3.6%.
Revenue for the reported quarter improved 8.9% to $3,735.5 million from $3,431.7 million in the year-earlier quarter. Results in the quarter were driven by improved potato operations, moderating inflation and contribution from acquired businesses. Revenue outshined the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,691 million by 1.2%.

Agreement/Magnitude of Estimate Revisions
The recent quarter results along with the increase in guidance for fiscal 2013 by the management have triggered an estimate revision for the company in either direction. In the last 7 days, of the 7 estimates for 2013, 5 were revised upwards by the analysts covering the stock. However, out of the 12 estimates for 2014, 5 were revised upwards while 2 were lowered by the analysts in the last 7 days.
For the fiscal third quarter of 2013, from a total of 11 estimates, there were 2 positive revisions.
As for magnitude of estimate revision, in the last 7 days, estimate for the third quarter remained neutral at 55 cents. However, for 2013, estimates increased from $2.06 to $2.09 along with an increase from $2.25 to $2.30 for 2014.
The Zacks Consensus Estimates represents a year-over-year growth of 7.3% for third quarter, 13.6% for 2013 and 10.1% for 2014.
Our Take
The company seems to have a bright future in the Consumer Foods segment, following the acquisitions it has undertaken so far. The cost reduction activities are in place, leading to the possibility of higher earnings. The pending acquisition of Ralcorp Holdings Inc. is an added advantage, as it will lead to cost synergies in the future. We continue to expect the company to earn high revenues along with an increase in the earnings.
Currently, we maintain a Neutral recommendation on ConAgra Foods Inc. The stock also bears a Zacks #2 (Buy) Rank, while its prime competitors H J HEINZ CO. and BRF Basil Food (BRFS - Snapshot Report) carry a Zacks #3 (Hold) Rank.
About Zacks Earnings Scorecard
As a PhD from MIT, Len Zacks proved over 30 years ago that earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices. He turned this ground breaking discovery into two of the most celebrating stock rating systems in use today. The Zacks Rank for stock trading in a 1 to 3 month time horizon and the Zacks Recommendation for long-term investing (6+ months). These "Earnings Estimate Scorecard" articles help analyze the important aspects of estimate revisions for each stock after their quarterly earnings announcements.

Ester Dean
Ester Dean
With the help of friends and some deft marketing (and no shortage of Mary J. Blige-esque R&B-meets-hip-hop chops), Ester Dean became a fixture in the fertile Atlanta, GA, hip-hop scene by the late 2000s. Born in Oklahoma, Dean moved to Atlanta at a young age, where she hooked up with nationally known producers Jazze Pha and Chris "Tricky" Stewart and became known as a reliable producer, penning tracks for artists ranging from Young Jeezy to the Pussycat Dolls. By 2009, she decided to step in front of the mike, and Zone 4 Records launched the viral "Who is Ester Dean?" campaign, soliciting endorsements from Brandy, Nelly, and other notables, while concealing the image of the young diva. Her debut single, "Drop It Low," featuring a deep crunk hook and a tidy guest spot from crooner Chris Brown, became a late summer jam, aided by inclusion in the LeBron James bio-documentary More Than a Game. She returned the favor to Brown, earning a prime spot on "I Love You," the first single off the in-the-news singer�s first album following the Rihanna scandal. ~ Jason Thurston, Rovi

Talk to any financial expert and they'll tell you that the key to successful investing boils down to having a diversified portfolio. And you agree with them, you think. You understand the concept of never putting all your eggs in one basket. And it makes sense to you to spread your assets around in order to reduce your risk. But have you ever truly analyzed why, exactly, investment diversification is the key?
"Diversification is so important because it limits your exposure and prevents you from being wiped out," says Anthony Perez, a financial advisor at Ameriprise Financial. "And besides, my crystal ball doesn't work."
Perez explains further that because he doesn't know what is going to be the best performing asset next month, next year or over the course of ten years, the wise thing to do is to rely on test after test that has shown that if he puts a client in a diversified portfolio that allocates that portfolio based on the client's risk tolerance, that over the course of time, over the long term, the client will actually be in a better position financially. They will have weathered the storm.
Expert after expert reiterates the concept of making investments with the thought in mind that no one knows exactly what the market is going to do and, because of this, diversification is the answer.
"It's impossible for people to predict the market, so that's why you have to spread your risks around," advises Mary Coughlin, principle at Barnegat Bay Capital Management, adding that you need to ask yourself how much risk you want to take and then diversify from there.
With diversification, you can find potential returns in likely and unlikely places: mutual funds, bonds, cash, and varied sectors like utilities, technology, banking, industrials. The key is to know where you want exposure in different markets.
And if you look at the market as a whole and see what stocks are going up or going down, generally you'll find it's a handful of days that drive the return for the year. Similarly, when you look at any given year and think what were the industries or the companies that really did the best, it's usually a handful. No one has any statistical certainty in advance which are the great industries or which are the great companies.
Manisha Thakor, founder and CEO of Money Zen Wealth Management, says, "Look at it this way: The purpose of diversification is to make sure you've got your finger in all the different buckets so that when the tide rises, your boat's going up."
Thakor also emphasizes the fact that no one individual investor can get a handle on truly analyzing the market's behavior. Unless you want to spend your time exclusively and intensely analyzing individual stocks — even then, there is still ultimately no way to be certain.
Using an analogy many people can relate to, Thakor says that the benefit of a diversified portfolio is like the benefit of eating a smoothie on the go. You're rushed; you don't have time to cook. You could grab a handful of chocolate chip cookies or you could throw some fruits and veggies in a blender and have a bunch of different things that are healthy so there will be much greater odds that you're getting the nutritional value that you need.
And when you think about what kinds of "different things" that go in your portfolio, think variety. Think about big and small companies. Think about companies not all in the United States — have some that are international. Have companies that aren't all developed but are emerging. Have a wide range of ways to slice things.
"That's why diversification is so powerful," surmises Thakor. "You get bits and pieces of everything."

Foster backs steely Moyes to succeed
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster is tipping David Moyes to make a success of succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson.
Foster spent five years on the Old Trafford payroll before leaving for Birmingham in 2010.
And although that period included two seasons out on loan and another sidelined by injury, he still got a pretty good insight into what makes the mighty Old Trafford machine tick.
Foster accepts the heat is on Moyes following Ferguson's exit.
But he is confident United have the right man for the job.
"David Moyes has huge shoes to fill but I don't think anyone could have walked into that job and felt no pressure at all," he said.
"It is the biggest job in world football.
"United have made a good decision. Moyes has got that steel about him.
"From what I hear he is a hard character. He has high standards all the time.
"You see what he has done at Everton on a limited budget. He has eked out the last little bit of quality from every one of his players."
It might not be easy though.
Quite apart from having to stamp his authority on a dressing room used to winning the trophies he has never collected, Moyes also has to brace himself for a summer spending spree from fellow Champions League contenders Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Europe is also a priority after two poor seasons by the Red Devils high standards.
Yet despite these obvious challenges, Foster expects his old club to keep on winning.
"United will always carry on the same," he said.
"They are very good at signing players who believe in everything they stand for.
"It is football, football, football. It is winning at all costs. It is the way they are.
"I am sure they will keep the old heads around, even when they retire.
"Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs will always have some input and some sort of say just to drive home the message to the new lads.
"It is bred within them to be winners and that will always be the case."
Foster only made 23 first-team appearances at United, largely playing understudy to Edwin van der Sar.
He has since suggested the sheer intensity of life at Old Trafford was somewhat overwhelming.
But he would not swap the experience for anything.
"I am really proud to have played at a time where I could work for manager the likes of which you will never get again anywhere in the world," he said.
Foster was equally proud to have been part of Ferguson's final game, even though he did concede five times in the highest-scoring draw in Premier League history.
The 30-year-old was going to grab a quick word with his old boss afterwards.
In the end though, he decided it was not the greatest idea.
"When we were in the tunnel everybody, and I mean everybody, wanted something from him, either a photo or to shake his hand," said Foster.
"I just left him to it. He has had a fantastic career and taking part in his final game is something I will remember for a long time."

Emirates has at least six types of business class products currently flying, a result of its rapid expansion, frequent upgrading of quality on old aircraft and better seat designs on new aircraft.
The first three (oldest three) types are cradle style seats with slightly different degrees of recline. As each type of seat came out, small improvements were made, most noticeably in the angle of recline. These seats are comfortable, and to make room for the extra recline a row of seats was taken out of some aircraft.
Nevertheless, you have to be careful which row you choose, since in bulkhead seats and in the final row of business, the recline can be restricted. You will find these on the carrier's A330-200 aircraft in both two and three-class configuration and also on some of the B777 aircraft which have not yet been upgraded (referred to as retrofitted).
Then there is the lie flat cocoon style (the name comes from the fact the seat reclines into its own cocoon, meaning your space isn't infringed by the person in front. These are available on the A340-300 aircraft.
These seats were quickly superseded by another lie-flat offering, introduced on the carrier's 777-200LR and 777-300ER aircraft.
Finally, there is the fully-flat bed found only on the A380. Because to date it only appears on this aircraft, the notes for this can be found on the A380 business class page here.

Back in the saddle; cue the rain
My thanks again to Keith Huffman for posting on the weather blog for a couple of weeks on my baby break. The current weather locally didn't offer much for Keith to comment about, but glad he had a chance to discuss winter dynamics, his specialty. Baby and mommy are both doing well, and the break was very beneficial for me.
I recall seeing it rain only one time in the entire time I was out — quite a departure from much of summer — but it occurred just at the moment we were transporting baby to a doctor's appointment. My return to weather blogging appears likely to induce a showery and possibly outright rainy period at times over the next week. First, high pressure that has brought us crisp, fall-like weather the last few days is slipping eastward over the Atlantic, and that will return low-level wind flow increasingly to the southeast and south, drawing moisture inland off the Atlantic and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. We're already seeing some effects of more easterly flow off the Atlantic with the morning fog and clouds many areas are seeing this morning. The air remains dry at many levels, so this flow will not immediately trigger rain — but chances begin to pick up for afternoon showers and storms from west to east across our region with afternoon heating and terrain effects. By Friday into Saturday, a cold front will be approaching, and some remnant moisture of what was once Hurricane Ingrid in the western Gulf will scoot along ahead of it. That will increase rain chances for Saturday — the weather service has put it in "likely" territory for the first time in September. Amounts near an inch are currently depicted over Southwest Virginia from the Blue Ridge westward over the next 5 days. I would not be surprised to see these projected amounts nudge upward and eastward.
The early days of next week may offer more rain than most forecasts currently show with the possibility of an upper-level trough digging and possibly become stalled or cut off west of us and a winterlike coastal low moving up the Atlantic seaboard. (The GFS depiction at left shows what would be very likely a major snowstorm, were it about 3 months later.) This whole scenario may be further enhanced by some moisture from what may well become Tropical Storm Jerry, meandering in the same general area Ingrid developed.

When* one of them gets fucked in the ass it will be a lesson to the rest of them not to make waves and to stick to the program.
*assuming it hasn't happened already. There sure don't seem to be many waves being made despite all the shit that has come out so far, so perhaps it has.
It's not "Amateur Porn" if neither/none of the parties being watched/recorded don't know that they are being recorded.
And who is going to be doing the prosecuting/burning of the NSA?
Anyone that makes moves to do so will be burned by the NSA first with any and all the dirt they have on them.
They are good examples of material that the NSA would legitimately not want getting out into the wild. The release of that type of information would indeed be detrimental to the safety and security of the USA as a whole.
But it is not the type of information that Snowden has released so far though. The releases so far have revealed the NSA to be up to some pretty nasty shit so I am not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that he only has information that would hurt the USA left. It will almost certainly hurt the NSA, but that is not necessarily a bad thing from what we have seen so far.
But they would have been better off if THEY had been legally able to carry a gun (not all of his victims were children, some of them were people whose job it was to keep those children safe).
Are you actually arguing that if Norway had similar gun laws/ownership levels to that of USA then Breivik would have been stopped/shot before he could kill and injure some or most of his victims?
It sure as shit doesn't seem to work out that way in all those instances in the USA.
Loses Reapers.
where is that exactly?
I do believe that has already been thought of and implemented. I am not going to google for that shit and find out though.
The support staff are either full of shit (which is the most likely scenario) or breaking the law themselves by not reporting this "jail time category" porn.
And if they are more concerned with keeping their job than reporting it they are in the same low-life category as the execs accessing the stuff.
I'd count staying the fuck out of Iraq as a pretty big win.
Wish I could say the same for my country.
Add to all that that it will take someone with either a crystal clean history without a single secret they wouldn't mind being exposed to the world*, or someone with some massive balls to bring charges against people with the highest levels of access within the organisation that literally knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be a person fitting either of those descriptions willing to put it all on the line.
*Just thinking on that further. Not only must they have a crystal clean history, but I would guess anyone they care about should have a clean sheet as well. I guess it really isn't surprising that we haven't seen any formal charges even being whispered about let alone anything officially being done.
Wrong. Read the Vienna Convention if you are seriously interested in it. Espionage from the embassy building is explicitly forbidden. And the belief that the embassy is US territory is very much wrong. All that the Vienna Convention says is that the embassy and all the property belonging to it are immune to search or seizure, and that agents of the host country may not enter without consent of the embassy staff, that's it.
So just like the 4th amendment then? Strange how the Germans would think the US government would just ignore that then.
*Destroyer not frigate
You have a source on that? I can't find that response reported anywhere.
Even if the Navy do appreciate it as a training exercise, I'm sure they could plan an exercise with similar benefits at at time that doesn't involve dragging the entire crew of a naval frigate away from leave with their families in the week before Christmas.
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.

Investor's Business Daily says raising taxes on the top 2 percent figures to bring in annually about $34 billion. Others put the number at twice that. Either way, it is a tiny fraction of the $1.1 trillion annual deficit. And an Ernst & Young study says this would cost 700,000 jobs. So raising taxes on the rich a) brings in a small amount of money and b) reduces, not increases, economic activity.
Why increase taxes on the rich at all? Answer: It's a matter of "fairness."
Andy Stern, the former head of the Service Employees International Union, the fastest-growing American union, describes the economic philosophy of the left: If raising taxes on "the rich" hurts the economy, that is an acceptable price. "Western Europe," says Stern, "as much as we used to make fun of it, has made different trade-offs which may have ended with a little more unemployment but a lot more equality."

Ranchi, Sept. 11: The delay in sending recommendations for promoting state civil services and non-civil services officers to IAS fold today prompted Jharkhand High Court to remark that senior bureaucrats did not want their juniors to join the prestigious cadre.
The division bench of acting Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice S. Chandrashekhar made the observation while hearing a PIL initiated suo motu on shortage of IAS officers in the state.
The court directed the Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) to file an affidavit, informing whether the personnel department has sent recommendation lists of state civil services officers for IAS promotions from 2000 to 2013. The commission will also have to mention in the affidavit whether the lists were sent on time and whether it contained defects as a result of which candidates could not be considered for promotions.
According to the court, the power to recommend names of those who ought to be promoted has not been properly and timely used by senior officers in Jharkhand.
Those responsible for sending the names to UPSC for promotion to IAS posts have been lethargic and seem to have purposely sent defective recommendation lists, which have been turned down by the commission, the bench said.
Citing instances, it said that since 2000, only one non-state civil services candidate Arun Kumar joined the IAS cadre after being promoted from the post of an engineer.
But Kumar had to fight a legal battle at the Supreme Court to get his promotion.
The case will again be heard on September 19.
Arguing on behalf of the petitioner, advocate Sumeet Gadodia said there were 30 vacant IAS posts from the state cadre in 2010, three each in 2011 and 2012, which are yet to be filled up. The list of names has not been prepared properly for which promotions have not been granted to deserving candidates of state civil services, Gadodia told the court.
The court was told that IAS posts are filled by 67 per cent direct recruits, while 33 per cent come from state civil services. Of this 33 per cent, 15 per cent constitute non-state civil services officials like government engineers and doctors, who are due to be promoted in the IAS cadre.
The high court had initiated the PIL suo motu on March 20, last year, taking into account the shortage of IAS officers in the state. It had observed that the main reason for lack of speedy development in Jharkhand was absence of adequate number of officers.

07:10 AM ET 05.27 | On the upside, lefty David Price feels great, even if getting back on the mound remains far on the horizon. [Price] provided his first update on his rehab before Saturday's game but could not say when he will return to the team. Price, scheduled to return from the 15-day disabled list Friday, said his strained left triceps feels better, but he won't begin throwing until sometime this week. "I honestly have no idea," Price said when asked for a date for his return. "You have to give it a chance to heal, a chance to get better, and that's what we're doing right now." Manager Joe Maddon said last week that Price would miss at least three starts. The fact Price has yet to throw would indicate he will miss more than three.

WYNNEWOOD (AP) — A southern Oklahoma refinery faces $281,000 in fines after a boiler explosion killed two workers last year.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced the fines Thursday against the Wynnewood (WIN'-ee-wud) Refining Co. Employees Billy Smith and Russell Mann died Sept. 28 when a large boiler exploded at the refinery.
The OSHA report cited several violations involving the engineering and hazardous use of the boiler. Reports indicate the company had been cited for similar violations in 2008.
David Bates, the director of OSHA's Oklahoma City-area office, says it's possible the deaths could have been avoided if the company had followed OSHA standards.
CVR Energy Inc., which owns the refinery, says the company is reviewing OSHA's findings and is working to address the agency's concerns.

Madonsela report finds Pule guilty of 'persistently lying'
Public protector Thuli Madonsela's report recommends former communications minister Dina Pule must apologise to Parliament and the Sunday Times.
Public protector Thuli Madonsela's report recommends former communications minister Dina Pule must apologise to Parliament and the Sunday Times.
The basic education department's advocate says Bobby Soobrayan was not authorised to sign the agreement, which makes it null and void.
The basic education department only realised on the eve of paying teachers it had several months earlier "erroneously" signed the labour agreement.
The basic education department wants the Labour Court to accept that Bobby Soobrayan made a pure error when he agreed to a 100% wage increment.
The South African Democratic Teachers Union wants to be represented at basic education director general bobby Soobrayan's disciplinary hearing.
Minister Angie Motshekga has allowed basic education director general Bobby Soobrayan to take special leave ahead of hearings, says the department.
Sadtu says it will ramp up its mobilisation for the axing of Bobby Soobrayan, the director general of the basic education department.
Guptagate turns into a great whodunit; Motshekga agrees to some of Sadtu's demands; while Cassel Mathale is in political hot water again.
Sadtu has threatened a full-blown strike if Zuma does not respond within 21 days to their demand to fire Angie Motshekga and Bobby Soobrayan.
Cosatu has warned Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga not to take action against protesting teachers at the Sadtu march.
Sadtu's protest over marker payments is just the labour facet of a far wider political battle.
Hundreds of South African Democratic Teachers' Union members have picketed outside the education department's Durban office.
The minister has chosen not to comment on plans by Sadtu teachers to start a go-slow in a a call for her resignation.
The South African Democratic Teachers' Union has intensified its industrial campaign targeting basic education director general Bobby Soobrayan.
Sadtu kicked off its industrial campaign to have department of basic education director general Bobby Soobrayan sacked from his position.
Basic education director general Bobby Soobrayan has blamed budgetary constraints and pupil data problems for the department's failures.

U.S. troops face increasing dangers in southern Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) — American forces are facing an increasingly dangerous environment in southern Iraq, where Shiite militias trying to claim they are driving out the U.S. occupiers have stepped up attacks against bases and troops.
The uptick in violence serves as a warning about what American forces could face if U.S. and Iraqi officials come to an agreement about keeping more U.S. troops in the country past Dec. 31.
"We're very concerned about it," said Col. Reginald Allen, who commands the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, which operates in five predominantly Shiite provinces. "This environment is very fluid, but in general our planning assumptions and our precautions are based on the worst case, that levels of violence will continue to increase."
Col. Allen's regiment lost five soldiers in April, one of the highest months for combat-related deaths in Iraq since U.S. forces pulled out of the cities in June 2009.
Two were killed in Babil province by indirect fire, the military's term for rockets or mortars; two more were killed by a roadside bomb in Wasit province, which borders Iran; and the last was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade in Qadisiyah province.
About 46,000 American troops remain in Iraq, focusing on training Iraqi forces. That level is down from high in 2007 of nearly 170,000 troops. U.S. soldiers still come under attack from rockets or mortars on their bases and from roadside bombs and shootings when they're moving around the country.
Michael Knights of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said the attacks indicate an increased confidence by militias to engage U.S. forces. He noted that the militants have been targeting vulnerable U.S. supply lines. The vast majority of supplies for U.S. forces are shuttled on roads from Kuwait into southern Iraq.
Mr. Knights, who writes extensively about security issues in Iraq, said April saw a major jump in the use of armor-piercing explosives, known as explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs.
"The increase in attacks shows that Iranian-backed cells enjoy greater freedom of movement than they have in the past. They have increased confidence in their ability to engage U.S. forces in stand-up firefights in broad daylight," he said.
American forces in Iraq always have faced a two-pronged threat: Sunni-led insurgents such as al Qaeda in Iraq and Shiite militias with ties to Iran.
The Sunni-led insurgents have tended to operate in the western Anbar province, in northern areas such as Mosul and in Baghdad and its suburbs, while Shiite militias generally have battled American troops in and around Baghdad and in southern Iraq, where Shiites dominate.
The Shiite militias in the south recently have been causing the most problems for American forces.
"If you look into the south, what we see, it's very, very problematic," said Lt. Gen. Frank Helmick, second-in-command of U.S. forces in Iraq.
"You can see an uptick in indirect fire activity down in the south — in other words, rockets and mortars — and there's been an IED threat that is becoming more problematic than in the past down in the south. So we see a lot of activity," he said.
The militants' goal is simple, U.S. officials say. By attacking U.S. forces, which are scheduled to leave by the end of this year, the militants are trying to portray themselves as driving out the Americans.

Scariest game ever
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (PC)
Member Name: wonkybox
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (PC)
Date: 25/10/11
Advantages: Pants-ruiningly frightening
Disadvantages: Very high difficulty
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a survival horror adventure game by Frictional Games.
You take on the role of Daniel - a man who wakes up to find himself in a mysterious German castle, with his memory completely missing. Daniel must explore the castle and learn it's mysteries, as well as rediscovering his own past.
Played from a first-person perspective, the first brave move by the developers is keeping the player weaponless, forcing them to use their wits to evade and conceal themselves from the malevolent denizens of the castle. Gameplay is mainly exploration with some puzzle solving - there are quite a few fetch quests as well. The player must also avoid the dark forces that are pursuing him.
Daniel has a simple health system, but also needs to look after his sanity as well, otherwise he will faint and become vulnerable. Hiding in darkness and witnessing horrible things drains your sanity, in a cruel twist hiding in darkness is sometimes the only way to evade an antagonist, so it becomes a balancing act. You do have a lantern that has a finite supply of oil as well as tinder boxes that can be used to light the way, but again these have to be carefully managed. The difficulty level ramps up very quickly, this might put off casual gamers
The graphics are nothing special but are well suited to the atmosphere of the game, with the crumbling old castle well-textured and imaginatively detailed. The game engine means that we can throw boxes and barrels around, which is sometimes necessary for creating barricades or steps.
The sound is very well done, there are ominous creaks and groans, and you'll find yourself straining your ears to listen for pursuers. Sound becomes a major factor when you're hiding and trying to work out if you're still being chased. There's also some really nice music that suits the mood very well.
This is easily the scariest game I've ever played. It took me ages to finish because I didn't like playing it an night. Periods of exploration and puzzle/solving are punctuated by moments of sheer terror, and you'll find yourself soon jumping at every little sound or shadow.
Summary: Scariest thing I've played ever

Horrible. The room was suppose to be non-smoking. I could not breathe from the moment we walked in the door. Front desk representative was very rude. After paying for the room on-line they still wanted a cash payment as a deposit until check out. The continental breakfast??? does not exist. Never again nor will I ever reccommend it to anyone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
It was dirty. We had to stay there because we had a dog. Our dog was cleaner than the room. We had to put throw rugs down so our dog had a clean place to lay down. After walking around on the floor before we took a shower, the bottom of the tub turned black with the dirt off our feet. JWGenuine Expedia guest review
"No complaints here"
The owner was courteous hospitable and friendly. The room was spotless. The room rate was competitive.Genuine Expedia guest review
Service was unfriendly, place was dirty, 30 yr old pillows. They gave us a smoking room when a non smoking was reserved. They stated to take it or leave it. Spoke with another person who worked there and they had open rooms. You get what you paid for! I will never stay there again!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"convenient but skanky"
beds falling apart-proprieter was excremental-he originally told me that i could check in early but then he tried to posture. made a big deal out of our 6 lb cat. price was o.k. but you generally get what you pay for. i turned in key and he made a point of saying '11:05' like he was going to charge me another day-jury still out on that one.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"econo lodge- never again"
The room had a old closed up abandonded smell. The carpet was so dirty that when I wore my sock around in the room the bottoms turned dark. The beds were hard as the floor. The pool was broken & colud not be used the ice maker was broken and could not be used. In the shower there was at least 3-4 chewd up pieces of gum along the tilte & ceiling. My […] husband & I both ended up with our allergies acting up badly after being in the room the first night. There was also a used diper or personal product that was left on the floor behind the toilet from whom ever used the room prior to our check in. Never again will we stay at this hotel I know the room was not expensive but it could have at least been clean and have everything working. It was obvious that items had been broken for a while and there was no intention on repairing them. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Ecno Lodge- N. Cleveland Ave"
Overall it was a average experience. The room was mostly clean. Arease behind furniture looked bad. Hadn't been touched in who knows how long. The Ice machine did not work. The front desk should have mentioned that you had to go to them to get ice. The last time I got ice it was obvious that they came from ice cube trays. But the TV worked and the AC […] worked good.

US President Barack Obama plans to mark the five-year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and talk about the economic gains made since then, according to a White House statement.
Obama has scheduled a speech in the Rose Garden today and will warn against "more self-inflicted wounds from Washington" as Congress considers a new budget and debates an increase in the debt ceiling.
The scheduled remarks reflect a deliberate shift, as the White House turns its attention to looming budget battles with Congress.
The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy filing on September 15, 2008, helped trigger a global financial crisis and deepened an economic recession.
It was followed by a slide in the US stock market and a $182 billion (about R1.8 trillion at Friday's rate) government bailout of insurer American International Group.
The government intervened in the banking, insurance and motor industries as it revamped financial regulations. Obama proposed and Congress passed an $831bn economic stimulus package.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index plunged 46 percent from the last trading day before the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy to a closing low of 676.53 on March 9, 2009.
Unemployment rates surged to 10 percent as the economy lost 8.7 million jobs between January 2008 and February 2010.
Five years after the crash, the country has not recovered all the jobs it lost and the unemployment rate stood at 7.3 percent in August.
The country's economy has made gains, including the creation of 7.5 million private sector jobs.
Obama will say that more needs to be done to strengthen the middle class "and those fighting to get into it", according to the White House statement.
His speech will aim at deadlines legislators must meet to avoid a government shutdown on October 1, the start of a new fiscal year, or risk a default on government debt as early as mid-October. – Bloomberg

March 13, 2012
The TIAA-CREF Institute has selected Charles B. Reed, chancellor of the California State University system, and Eduardo J. Padrón, president of Miami Dade College, as the 2012 winners of the TIAA-CREF Hesburgh Award for Leadership Excellence.
The awards were announced March 12 at ACE's 94th Annual Meeting in Los Angeles.
The Hesburgh Award is named in honor of the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame. Reed and Padrón were chosen by an independent panel of judges based on their excellence in higher education leadership.
Reed's commitment to his students guides his work as chancellor of California State University, where he has successfully steered the system's 23 campuses through state budget cuts while simultaneously meeting the complex demands of increasing enrollment.
His efforts to build collaborative partnerships and award-winning outreach programs—particularly those dedicated to students from underserved backgrounds—have received national acclaim. He also supports a number of multi-campus initiatives to improve research and instruction, and benefit local businesses and communities.
At Miami Dade College, Padrón is helping transform the role of community colleges across the country, raising their academic stature while preserving their mission to teach underserved populations. His innovative thinking provides students with the support necessary to overcome the most challenging odds and attend college, which has helped transform Miami Dade College into a catalyst for the local community and economy.
Padrón is also outgoing chair of the ACE Board of Directors.
"We are at an inflection point for American higher education," said ACE President Molly Corbett Broad. "There are many challenges that confront us, and ACE is deeply proud to join the TIAA-CREF Institute in honoring those leaders who are helping to chart our course forward."

Fantastic presentation, but mechanics?
Nice cutscenes (though lipsync was off and voices can be bland) and generally pretty neat visuals. Not always a fan of the audiosurf style technoscape stuff, but it looked pretty good and sounds were pretty decent. Didn't get far enough to comment on plot, so apologies for that.
Like everyone else, I think it is a bit hard for what it is. I *should* be able to decelerate if I really can't avoid something, so acceleration / brakes would be a good idea. Perhaps some powerups? If there's one powerful this needs, it's slow freaking motion.
Collision needs improvement. If you've gone over a boost, both barriers and boosts do not affect you. You can get damaged without touching anything directly - given the lack of a health bar, this is a serious pain in the ass.
Courses need to be more varied. Add a background, have the track curve and whatnot. The spastic techno doesn't do *everything,* y'know? One thing that might've helped a ton is having a dynamic perspective that follows the vehicle rather than sit in the same place - with the very twitch reaction controls, having an absolutely sure sense of direction is essential.
And that's my only real gripe. Difficulty due to mechanics. Hope to see some more good work.
