Checkpoint Systems, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2012 Results
Checkpoint Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer, George Babich, said, "All three lines of business delivered better than expected revenues in the fourth quarter 2012. The previously announced realignment of the Global Sales organization increased our focus and execution and clearly contributed to a solid finish for the year, providing momentum entering 2013. Higher than expected revenue coupled with solid gross profit margins and reduced operating expenses drove operating income margins to the high end of our expectations and previous guidance. In addition, our commitment to better manage working capital resulted in free cash flow of $39 million that significantly exceeded expectations for the fourth quarter and full year."
Mr. Babich continued, "Undoubtedly, the restructuring and cost savings programs initiated under our profit improvement plan, Project LEAN, were instrumental in improving fourth quarter results. Progress was made in each line of business as we stabilized the new organizational structure, continued to cut costs, improve execution and increase productivity. Previously announced new sales compensation plans that were put in place to drive sales of our electronic article surveillance consumable and Alpha ® products have begun to take effect. Our plans to capture global opportunities in the radio frequency identification (RFID) market continue to make progress as our Merchandise Visibilty™ Solutions business adds more tests throughout the world. And importantly, significant progress was made in Apparel Labeling Solutions, which underwent massive changes in 2012 to support our redefined strategy."
Global Restructuring
The Company continues to expect that restructuring and cost savings initiatives that are part of the Expanded Global Restructuring Plan, which includes Global Restructuring Plan, including Project LEAN,and the SG&A Restructuring Plan will generate annual savings of approximately $102 million by the end of 2013. Incremental 2012 cost savings realized through the fourth quarter were $28.6 million, with $19.9 million of savings attributable to SG&A cost reduction actions. This is in addition to $17 million of total savings realized in 2011, of which $15 million was attributable to SG&A.

The Most Underrated Restaurant in Houston Is...
4. Vinoteca Poscol
Photo by Katharine Shilcutt Decadent pasta and wonderful wine? Yes.
Many people think of Vinoteca Poscol as a wine bar first and foremost, but it's also a mecca for lovers of Italian food. The ambiance is crowded but in a cozy way, and the selection of Italian meats and cured cheeses rivals the great selection of wine. The tapas-style dishes are small enough to make a meal out of a few, or order several and share with the table. People love Poscol so much, in fact, that when our wine writer, Jeremy Parzen, didn't mention the wine bar in his list of the 10 Best Houston Destinations For Wine, readers went berserk that Poscol wasn't on there. Situation rectified?
3. The Original Carrabba's
Photo by Geri Maria Harris The original Carrabba's is still as good ever.
Commenter HTownChowDown noted, "The two original Carrabba's locations aren't part of the nationwide chain. The food is considerably better; the menu is different. Why? Because these two locations are still owned and run by the family. (The stores are the one on Kirby and the one on Voss, which is my favorite.)" Indeed, the original Carrabba's on Kirby is still a fine restaurant, and it's packed every evening with diners who've been coming since the restaurant first opened back in the mid-80s. Johnny Carrabba is still there (or at the recently opened Grace's next door) nearly every day ensuring the same quality as when the restaurant was a small family establishment.

Blood or Whiskey is an Irish punk/folk band from Leixlip, County Kildare, Ireland. The band was formed in September 1993 taking strong influence from Shane MacGowan, as well as The Pogues and The Clash. The band originally had problems with their non-traditional music style among native Irish fans and released their first album Blood or Whiskey in 1996. Several years of touring followed before the release of No Time to Explain which was followed by a tour of the US.
After the leaving of their original lead singer, Barney Murray, in 2003, guitarist Dugs Mulhooly took over the reins as the band's frontman, Blood or Whiskey's lineup underwent many changes and in 2005 released Cashed Out on Culture, which is highly regarded as their most punk oriented of their albums, although it maintains the driving traditional melodies that are trademarks of the band's sound. In 2006, whistle player Alan Confrey died from a heart attack after the band returned home to Dublin after a UK tour with Stiff Little Fingers.
The band is currently looking for a new tin whistle player and were due to release their new album on Punkcore Records sometime in late 2007, however, this was pushed back to a non-specified date. They have also recently recruited a new bass player, Peter Mullan, and toured Europe in September 2006, supporting The Misfits on some shows. The tour has been entitled "Back from the Brink" by the band. The band also supported The Pogues at their annual Christmas gig in the RDS, Dublin on the 23rd of December, 2007.
The general sound of the band is a manic mix of aggressive lyrics, punk beats and Celtic melodies.

Score from 645 reviews Good
Stayed 1 night before a morning flight. The room was clean and comfortable
Shuttle to the airport apparently isn't free. Our morning flight was on Sunday so breakfast was served only at 0800 so we missed it...no shuttles either at this morning so we had to take a taxy. Nothing to do around the hotel at evening time. Pretty far from the town's S train station, reachable only by bus
Simplicity. Friendliness convenience quietness
freely available tea and coffee, and use of a computer, tho their was wifi in the rooms, which was a bit weak.
not being able to watch tv in English, dvds were copies so nearly all didn't have language option. Not knowing airport shuttle had to be paid for and you really need to take a shuttle if you don't know the area as it's far to the railway station, where I believe there would be a bus to take you to within about 200m of hotel.
The location was fantastic. Only a short drive from the airport and from Hallbergmoos train station, providing excellent access to Munich City centre. Would definitely stay here again.
Booking multiple accommodations throughout Germany was a task! This choice was a winner for all in our group of 4. Location, cleanliness, staff, breakfast, transportation to the airport and the nearby restaurant.
It was easy access to return the leased car and close to the airport
It was close to the hire car drop off point. Staff helped us when we needed to make an international call.
We could hear all the conversations at the reception desk from our room. Heard people coming and going outside bedroom window. No one at reception desk - had to make a phone call to get service. They advertised a shuttle service to the airport but we didn't get this as the owner was too busy making breakfast. Had to use a taxi.
very friendly staff great location...close to airport very clean, good breakfast, free parking
horrible, hard mattress...sleep was difficult
The manager was very helpful and it was exactly what I expected.
Location Room Reception area
Breakfast was good, priced at € 6. Staff was quite friendly and helpful
Walls look like they're made of cardboard; zero sound insulation. You can hear every footstep of the maid preparing breakfast, or travelers arriving at 0300 a.m.
Proximity to airport, reasonable rate
The room was clean.
Staff generally unhelpful. Hard mattress. Thin walls and hardwood floors. No fan, 'fridge, room safe or even a spot for the case. Pamphlet in the room stated price for single 52 euro, I was charged about 70 euro through booking company. Have stayed at 100s of hotels over the years and this is the first I have given a bad review.
The welcome of the staff and how we were treated. It is hotel depending on air travelers, so they can be delayed! Without asking or saying hello, the woman at the reception only scold us as if we were little children, and didn't allow us to say anything. And we weree only 2 minutes too late.
Price, and rooms were clean
Not being able to sleep. guest arriving up to 2:30 am, people stood outside talking and smoking.
Kindness of staff, breakfast
Breakfast room, no windows
The place was nice and clean, the staff were ok.
The staff seemed to find dealing with the front desk to be a bother, that having to go get change was a bother to them, and asking about the shuttle they advertise on their own website was a bother. In fact, they told me they had no shuttle - so doubting myself I checked and sure enough there it was stated... a shuttle. A minor issue is that in Toronto, hotels include their shuttle to the airport. Not here - it was 12 Euro. There was a charge if you wanted coffee. There was a charge for breakfast. There was a charge for... I had the impression that they would nickel and dime you to death. And the place was costly to begin with, and rather a pain in the butt to get to and from. In hindsight, staying almost anywhere else in the city and taking the S bahn would have been best since it goes right into the Munich airport.
The hotel was very clean. The staff person was very helpful upon checkin.
There was no WiFi in our room, and the room itself was quite spartan. The breakfast (6 euros - not included in the room cost) was not worth the price. I wouldn't stay there again.
Close to airport
One night stay
Location - 10 minutes from the airport.
Really thin walls - you can hear your neighbors really easily.
It was unexpectedly clean and fully organized room and bathroom with anything one would need for a short stay-over. The breakfast was rich and delicious. Staff was very helpful, gave me all info I needed and gave me airport transfer. Very close to the airport. Very good value for money. I recommend this place.
The value for money

Convenient location for Airport. A comfortable night's stay, good breakfast. I recommend this hotel

Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan made the following comments in an interview in Cape Town today after the National Treasury released its medium- term budget outlook.
On unemployment:
"Joblessness is becoming a global pandemic in its own right."
South Africa's unemployment goal is "an ambition, the circumstances may change tomorrow. What we shouldn't distract from is the intent."
On the role of government in supporting growth:
"What the current times are teaching us is that you have to be agile and adaptable in the case of how we work and in particular keep our eyes on the ball, which is how we do we keep the government playing the supportive role to growth, whatever the circumstance."
"Even with all the challenges we have, 3.1 percent growth overall is not bad.
On the budget deficit:
''We know what the limits of our own fiscal trajectory is. And we will work within those limits and make the adjustments we need.''
''What's important is policy consistency. We've been consistent in the way we've come across in regard to counter- cyclicality, in regard to supporting growth and at the same time recognizing that we've got to undertake fiscal consolidation. We've successfully managed the two so far."
On return of surplus cash from state enterprises:
"We're looking at the numbers at the moment. In the next month, we'll have a clearer idea.
''We'll look at any option" including asset sales.
"What we want is effective cash management within the state. You can't have one arm holding onto cash and the other arm going to borrow. That's nonsense."

Before South Africa embarked on the tour of New Zealand, the general attitude in their camp seemed to indicate that they were treating their opponents as minnows. The work ethic of the Proteas has never been a subject of question, but the fact that their coach made certain inflammatory statements did not go down well with the Kiwis. The feisty bunch that they are, they gave a fitting response in the first T20 and though they lost the next two games, they made it clear that it would not be as easy as the Africans expected it to be. The first ODI might have been a one sided affair, but the Kiwis have a tendency to bounce back just when their backs are to the wall. This is exactly what will make the second ODI in Napier a very interesting game. South Africa AB de Villiers will know that his side has not performed to it's potential despite winning three games on the trot (2 T20s and the first ODI). Historically speaking, the South Africans have always set the benchmark as far as fielding is concerned. But the standards haven't been that high so far. Considering the fact that ABD used to have an electric presence in the ring, he will expect his side to pull up their socks. As far as the bowling is concerned, the pace heavy attack has hunted in a pack while Peterson, the lone specialist spinner, did a good job of keeping things tight in the middle overs in the first ODI. The fact that Albie Morkel, a proven all-rounder, did not bowl even a single delivery in that match shows the depth that South Africa have in their bowling line-up. The batting seems to be too heavily dependent on the skipper and he would want his openers Amla and Smith to fire. If they can put up a good show in the second match, Kirsten's side will take at least two trophies home. New Zealand When Brendon McCullum expressed satisfaction after the win in the first T20, he would have hoped that his side could put up a fight against the mighty South Africans in the remaining games as well. Though they should have won the final T20, the skipper would have been happier if the score line showed that. In this 3 match ODI series, they are already 1-0 down, but what will worry them is the ease with which their opponents got the better of them. The South Africans have a very experienced pace attack which has demolished batting orders much accomplished than the current Kiwi one and the hosts will need to show more than just grit to come up trumps against them. While the batting has clicked throughout the summer, the bowling has been a bit of a worry. Apart from the talismanic Kyle Mills, none of the bowlers have looked like getting the batsmen out. To make matters worse, Doug Bracewell, who had an excellent debut against Australia, has been given a rest in preparation of the Test series while Jesse Ryder is still nursing a calf injury. The onus will be on Tim Southee to shoulder a bit more responsibility.

Philander bowls SA to a thumping winVernon Philander produced the best figures of his remarkable early career for South Africa to wrap up the second Test against New Zealand by nine wickets inside three days on Saturday. The tourists needed just 20 overs to reach the 101-run target in Hamilton, after New Zealand's second innings crumbled under Philander's brilliant swing bowling to be all out for 168.
McCullum, Taylor lead New Zealand run chaseNew Zealand battled to 137 for two at the close of play on the fourth day of the first Test against South Africa after being set an imposing 401-run target to win. The home side lost both openers cheaply before Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor came together and reduced the required total to 264 with eight wickets in hand by stumps.
New Zealand aim to stem the rotAfter four consecutive losses to South Africa across formats, New Zealand will be keen to go into the Test series with a win under their belt.

Good Points
Clear pictures when it worked. Easy to use.
Bad Points
Camera just stopped working after 18 months!
General Comments
I had the same experience with the Sony CyberShot DSC-P51 as the previous reviewer. The camera worked fine for approx 18 months. Then the LCD screen got black! Am told that it is a sensor problem. I cannot even find a service place close by to see if it is worth repairing. What bothers me most is that I bought the same camera for my nephew in India who wanted a good digital camera from USA (cost $240 plus!) Dreading the day he is going to find the same problem with his camera!
Sony should recall this camera, and fix the probelm for free!!

CORPUS CHRISTI - A U.S. appeals court says a Mexican teenager killed by a Border Patrol agent was protected by the U.S. Constitution even though he was on Mexican soil.
The ruling Monday from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals means the family of 15-year-old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Guereca can move forward with a $25 million lawsuit. The government may appeal the ruling.
U.S. District Judge David Briones had found that the family could not sue because the shooting's affects were "felt in Mexico." But the appeals court said that would allow agents to establish "zones of lawlessness."
Agent Jesus Mesa shot Hernandez in 2010 while trying arrest immigrants who crossed illegally into the United States. Mesa said he was attacked by rock throwers. Agents generally aren't allowed to shoot them.

Kansas economy can sustain budget goals, Brownback says
January 26, 2014
Topeka Gov. Sam Brownback remains confident that the Kansas economy will continue to show strength and generate revenues to fund his budget proposals.
Speaking to reporters Friday, the governor says his administration's experience in the past three years in setting priorities and building reserves support his optimism.
Brownback wants to increase spending in three areas in the current budget year — the state pension system, public schools and the state's share of Medicaid health care programs for the poor, elderly and disabled.
Budget projections show the state eating into its cash reserves that were built over recent years. The declines are related to ongoing government expenses and cuts in the state income tax rates enacted in 2012 that reduced the amount of revenue Kansas collects.

New recruit gets out of Dodge
SAGU signs third-baseman, Collin Gifford
Lions lasso Dodge City, Kansas standout
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- The Southwestern Assemblies of God University baseball team is filling openings faster than a paczki* baker before Fat Thursday.
New Head Coach Sam Blackmon's summer haul on the recruiting circuit added another key player with the signing of Collin Gifford. He is a 5-foot-11 third-baseman and pitcher from Dodge City High School.
Daniel Rogers, a veteran prep coach, was full of praise for Gifford.
"I am excited for Collin and his decision to attend SAGU," he said recently. "Collin has worked hard over the last two years to improve in many areas as a baseball player."
"I feel that with his work ethic, maturity and faith, he will continue to develop as a person and a player throughout his time at the University."
He also played football for the Class 6A Demons. A starting linebacker for Head Coach Dave Foster, Gifford averaged 7.7 tackles per game, including a pair of sacks and four tackles for lost yardage.
Gifford has spent his life in the 'wild frontier town' of the Old West, Dodge City, Kansas (pop. 27,921), where he was born. 'Getting out of Dodge' will be a 485-mile trek to Waxahachie.
The long-running TV show, Gunsmoke, used Dodge City as its setting. It is 155 miles west of Wichita.
During his senior season Gifford toted a .327 batting average, about the same as his .329 summer American Legion numbers. His pitching record was 5-1 in eight appearances, which also included a save. The Legion squad sported a 29-6 record.
One of his finest accomplishments upon graduation was earning a Regents Diploma.
Gifford is one of two children to parents Justin Gifford and mom, Natasha Anderson. His sibling is nine-year old Reece Anderson.
He has been a member of the CRAVE Youth Group, which is part of Dodge City's First Assembly of God. Gifford was active in a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Huddle in high school and also had experience coaching a youth basketball team.
SAGU posted a 14-34 record last season with a very young team. Twenty-five of the team's 29-players were freshmen or sophomores. They figure to be just as green when they begin their next season in January of 2014.
The Lions are beginning their first season in the Sooner Athletic Conference, considered the best league in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
Eleven teams will comprise the Sooner this year, which had five teams ranked at the end of last season.
Along with two new teams from the Red River Athletic Conference, both of which were ranked nationally, the SAC figures to be as tough as ever. It means SAGU players will be able to test their mettle against top-flight competition in a 40+ game schedule.
Coach Blackmon will release the team's 2014 schedule later this fall. The Lions play their games at both the Waxahachie Sports Center and at their campus ballpark.
The Lions will have fall camp, which will determine who makes the active squad as well as who has the inside track for starting when practices resume in January.
*Note: A paczki (pronounced punch-kee) is a very popular Polish pastry that is stuffed with fruit or creme fillings (like a jelly donut) and savored prior to Ash Wednesday.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- There's still a chance you'll see some snow this weekend, but a much better chance that you'll just be very cold if you go outside.
"The amount of moisture looks limited here," said WVLT Pinpoint 8 Meteorologist Craig Edwards, "but there should be enough to create some snow during the middle of the day and some sprinkles or light rain in the afternoon."
The higher elevations of the Smoky Mountains may see some light snow accumulations, according to Edwards. But, he says, the most snowfall from this system will be on the other side of the mountains into South Carolina and North Carolina.
North Georgia to Chattanooga also may see 1-2", but it'll be mostly rain in Atlanta.
If you will be traveling on I-75 South or I-40 East (into North Carolina) you may see some slick spots.
In North Georgia (and Chattanooga) the snow will change to rain by 3 pm. But that's after an inch or so of accumulation. In North Carolina it will be snow most of the day. Asheville may see between 2 to 4 inches of snow by Saturday night.
By Sunday the really cold air will move in. Lows Sunday morning will be in the upper teens. By afternoon the high will only be 32 degrees. It will be sunny and cold!
Any school/business or church closings will be passed along as soon as we get them, on Volunteer TV News, and volunteertv.com. You can also sign up for text messages on your cell phone with snowto2go through voltv2go.com. We will send you a text message if your school closes. See the link below to subscribe.
You can get road condition phone numbers, utility phone numbers, and pretty much everything else you need to deal with the storm on our web channel home page in the section titled "Super Pinpoint 8 Winter Weather Center."

text: Virginia is beginning to implement this vision, and other states still have many questions. Some school districts, he said have developed rubrics to guide teaching and learning of 21st century skills, while others are just beginning to develop such rubrics. Similarly, states and school districts are at different stages of incorporating 21st century skills into teacher professional development. In the context of this continuum of different stages of movement toward 21st century skills, he said, the workshop papers and discussions are very helpful.

QB Mount Rushmore
View Single Post
Ring of Famer
Join Date: Nov 2006
Posts: 6,113
Unitas needs to be on the list
Marino never won jack squat.
Favre only won with really good teams.
Young deserves honorable mention, but never did enough to be on the mountian.
Brady. He might deserve to be there. Maybe chisel him on in a few years. Not yet.
Baugh just fricken won. He changed the game, and Unitas brought the game into the modern era. Both were awesome under pressure, and had incredible work ethics.
They were masters of their positions, and revolutionized the game.
Lets face it, Montana had dynasty teams, but when they were faltering, he was jut clutch. He did have to go against dynasties in his own right in Dallas and NyGiants, and pulled out some of the most incredible victories of all time. The guy was just $$.
Elway. The master. No one did it better, and no one elevated himself and his sub-par teams to a higher level year in and year out. No one pulled out more wins in clutch time, i dont care what the records say. Elway did it in the most crucial and critical times when it was all on the line and his story book ending puts him on the mountian top.
"So far in Elway's career, his offensive linemen and wide receivers have been voted to the Pro Bowl a combined seven times. In Dan Marino's 15 seasons, Miami Dolphins offensive linemen and wide receivers have been selected to the Pro Bowl 30 times. … Though usually surrounded by a human rummage sale, Elway has won more games as a starter than any other quarterback in NFL history at the time of this writing. (138). It's the equivalent of carving
Mount Rushmore
with a spoon or composing Beethoven's Ninth on a kazoo. But Elway's career has been about more than just winning. It has been about escaping defeat a half page from the end of the novel, leaping over pits of fire with the microdot hidden in his cigarette lighter. On first down Elway was 'pretty average,' his Stanford coach Paul Wiggin once said. But when the elementary school kids are being held hostage and the detonator reads 00:03, who would you rather have clipping the wires than Elway? He may be the only quarterback in history who could stand on his own two-yard line, trailing by five with less than two minutes to play, no timeouts left, windchill –5, and cause the opposing coach to mutter, 'We're in trouble.'"
--Rick Reilly, Sports Illustrated, qtd. in Austin Murphy's The Super Bowl: Sports Greatest Championship

NaaLaa 6 0.9.2
Based on the programing language with the same name, the application can help generate retro games in a relatively short time.
Potent game development environment
The program allows you to generate your own retro games by writing its code using the NaaLaa programming language, which is especially tailored for such projects. Furthermore, the programming language is quite easy to learn, meaning that beginner and experienced users alike can build their own games in a relatively small amount of time.
Furthermore, you can build libraries that contain resources for your games. This way, you can automatically include these resources in every game you create, or share them so that others can use them.
Intuitive compiler and builder for retro games
NaaLaa provides you with several tools for creating your games with ease. Using Tilemap Editor you can create maps that you can load and use with the Tilemap library. These maps are suited for 2D sidescrollers. The Raycaster Editor creates maps in a similar way as as Tilemap, but these are used for more complex 3D games.
With the help of Poly Editor, you can draw and create polygons for your NaaLaa programs, and insert them either by copying them into the source project or by creating an individual code file and include it into the build.
A powerful game creator and editor
Overall, NaaLaa is ideal for developing retro games using an easy to learn programming language. This application is aimed towards creative people with a lot of game ideas that do not have advanced knowledge on programming languages and platform development.

No, CGI trailers don't represent gameplay. Yes, they are fluffy marketing to get you unduly excited. But by gum, the cinematic E3 trailer for Ubisoft's open-world cybervigilante 'em up Watch Dogs is awfully pretty, if a bit eerie.
