Goldman Removes Boeing From "Conviction Buy" List
For those curious how it is that Goldman just reported a stunning beat across the board, here is a hint: the firm had flaming paperweight extraordinaire maker Boeing (a firm which has now had at least one component in 4 Dreamliners spontaneously combust, and has lead to the grounding of the entire ANA and JAL fleets) on its Conviction Buy list. At least until today, when the stock is indicated to open some 5% lower. Which means as of moments ago, Goldman is done selling BA stock to its clients. With conviction.
From Goldman:
What happened
We remove Boeing from the Conviction List, while retaining our Buy rating. We lower our 12-month price target to $90 from $98. Last night an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight on a 787 aircraft made an emergency landing. Multiple reports state this was due to an alert in the cockpit of an issue related to batteries in the aircraft. This follows the January 7 incident in which a Japan Airlines 787 experienced a fire while parked at the gate at Logan airport, which was also reportedly caused by the overheating of a lithium ion battery. BA is up 31% since we added to the CL on 8/8/11 vs. SPX up 32%. It is up 3% the past 12 months (SPX up 14%).
Current view
We remain bullish on the fundamentals of the Commercial Aerospace sector, we continue to favor the long-term earnings and cash flow growth driven by the 787 product cycle, we continue to expect significant shareholder-friendly capital deployment from BA, and we still believe valuation for the stock is attractive.
We also believe it is normal for new aircraft programs to experience challenges in the early part of entry in to service, including many historical new aircraft programs requiring multiple FAA-driven changes. And it remains possible that the recent 787 issues fall in to the "teething" category, as much information is still unknown.
But despite our view on all of these items, we also recognize that there have now been two incidents in a very short window pointing to potential issues related to one part – lithium ion batteries – and the concentration and possible overlap of cause within these events heightens the risk of a potentially more meaningful required change to the aircraft and therefore a possible delay in the pace of the production ramp. This would make near-term outperformance of shares more difficult to see.
Our estimates are unchanged (our model already assumes 10 787s per month is achieved in mid-2014). We lower our price target to $90 from $98 on a lower P/E (13.8X vs. 15.0X prior) given these increased risks. Other risks include the new aircraft order cycle and DoD spending priorities.

You can always count on the boys from GS for a knee-jerk reaction.
Considering they wouldn't be caught dead in anything other than a Lear private jet to avoid the pesky airport friskings.
Someone needs to provide the hookers and coke for the clients.
Boeing, Boeing, GONE!
Ridiculous company, shitty products, old tech drenched in new materials.
What did they expect from the GM of Aerospace?
The junking is obviously because people wish to fly unsafe, unqualified aircraft with a company caught red handed recycling broken parts with the airline industry as the parts broker.
We can all hope Boeing folds, but it won't, it'll get a bail out like the last 24 times it's been in trouble over 40 years. God it's a shitty company.
I don't worry flying on a Boeing....but getting on a Airbus scares the crap out of me. Stuff just falls off those things.....really important stuff.
I wouldn't fly on any of them right now and been maintaining that practice for four years when the stats came out at a trade conference I was at. Last day I considered flying, up until that point I was completely oblivious to the practice, I chose Computer engineering over aerospace because of the level of responsibility those guys have. As an engineering practice it is a double edged sword.
One side, you get to create some awesome works of flying art. Something that's been on the human mind as long as people could draw a picture of a bird on a wall. It's truly an amazing technology sector.
On the other side, it's very energy and moving parts oriented. If either of those two things are lacking people end up dead with a big mess to clean up. It's pretty big weight to carry for a single sector, so that invites a lot of bureaucracy to not just over see but to start defining common practices. <-- this seems to missing, shit your pants scary with old parts in the pool.
When we hear of a brand new plane rolling off an assembly line and recalled in under a year. It now means things are so bad the over lookers are looking the other way (very bad) AND nobody is casting new parts right now. It's very expensive with just the energy requirements. A new cast part has the potential for costing the same as the used plane that needs it now. Half the fleet in the air is well past retirement to begin with. Either some smart cookie figures out how to make plane parts cheaply or the entire industry is done for.
#peakaerospace. It really sucks as an idea, but I don't see how this is fixed any more. The fact we've gone back to multi stage rockets for space programs should have been a screaming warning for everyone, versus the piggy back method that was being refined in the 80's. The US space program in the 80's was doing more advanced things in space travel than any other time, and that's gone. While the space program that gave a ton of great ideas for the future development of aerospace engineering, that's as far as it went. NASA did great things once. Now...borrow a friends ride to another guy's space station to work with a bunch of other guys testing yeast samples. sigh...
There is another reason the drones are getting used btw. Less moving parts, smaller, more efficient operationally (until Jevon takes care of that as usual). The fact you can have high schoolers make them for you (even though the parts maker is in China...sigh). They are the correct business engineering solution to a problem of counterfeit parts in large flying gas tanks over urban populations. Like most, I would rather nothing was flying around watching me scratch my ass. But if something is going to fall out of the air, I would rather it be an RC toy instead of five tonnes of hot engine and 1000's of litres of very combustible fuel.
sorry...one more ramble. However if all this nonsense above wasn't happening. We wouldn't be having a bunch of basement engineers creating some really amazing things with ultralights. While the large carrier technology pretty much shit the bed in the 80's. The basement guys were oblivious to the change in industry, therefore ignored for the past 30 years. They have some of the coolest shit now because of that disconnect. Modern jet fighters have more in common with an ultra light now than an F16. The goal of the modern plane is more mile for your buck, keep your planes up longer than the other guy's. Firepower counts for shit if your plane becomes a brick and stalls out...anycase, good Ted talk on aerospace, fun, failure and future.
where is the aapl carnage? Dickhead Bove got burned 75 points ago. Where are the overleveraged hedge funds etc. that are choking on it? No fireworks?
Overcharging Li+ batteries, not a difficult technical issue to solve. BTFD.
Windscreens have never failed before either...
It's okay. Goldman says S&P 1250 by 2012 year end - I'm gonna be rich by Christmas last year!!
More abject failure.
Will this stunning result turn around into more profits, and so hence, more bonuses for the GS twats?
Wouldnt suprise me in the fucking least.
Don't worry. BA will get some massive government contract for a fleet of domestic DHS spy drones to keep america safe from the OWS, fringe bloggers, Ron Paul supporters and other terrorists types.
Wouldnt suprise me if someone from the DHS is reading your comment and implements the programme carte blanche.
That is just how stupid we are dealing with here. I wouldnt let these fuckers watch my TV, never mind anything important. And any one scanning these pages from the DHS, fuck off you half-wits, go get a real job.
Fortunately for us - the ability to read is not a requirement for employment with DHS. One need only follow orders.
Now if you want a job at the SEC, that's different - you have to be able to read and write in order to google the best midget porn.
Now thats a fair comment HD,
Over here the minimum qualification you need to be in, politics, the judiciary, the Met, and top level government?
Any ideas ZHers??? The minimum before being accepted, is you need to have an unhealthy attraction to children. Allegedly of course.
Fuck you Goldman Sachs.
It would be a damned shame if a Dreamliner pancaked onto the top of 200 West St...
This battery thing seems like a stunning engineering mistake. Save a small amount of weight by replacing very safe AGM batteries with lithium. AGM can be float charged dirt simple charge controller and safety devices, a failure won't even spill acid. Lithium requires a complex charge controller, if it or the batteries fail you've got a white hot fire.
Even then lithium batteries rarely catastrophically fail, the dreamliner has had three battery failures in a week. Sounds like they have defective batteries or charge controllers. Not surprising when everything is out sourced.
It gets worse, this plane isn't made of metal, its made of plastic. Rather than a fire being contained, and damped down by metal, you've got it incased in plastic. Even if highly fire retardent you've got a big toxic fume issue. You may also have much worse failure modes than aluminum.
you seem to be unaware that aluminum burns, idiot.
The plane is CF, not plastic. jfc
Sooooo.. the recommendation is to buy it, but make sure you do so without conviction. Do it nonchalantly.
Are GS clients government targets and/or targeted governments.
boeing should stick with being DOD welfare queens-nothing much is expected and they can rape the taxpayer for billions without having to answer to the pesky public.
Boeing placed controlling labor costs ahead of producing its normal high quality product (like the B757, B767, and especially B747).
Boeing outsourced thousands of union aircraft machinists in Seattle with a new non-union plant in South Carolina and by using non-US production companies in Japan, Italy, etc.
The result was a Lego assembly concept that made perfect financial sense to bean-counters who know nothing about building airplanes.
Once again, the money "experts" screwed up a once great US company.
Airbus is having wet dreams over Boeing's repeated, multi-year 787 failures, and hoping these failures create a market for its new A350 jet.
You get what you pay for.
the 787 and the 350 are not in the same market segment. The 350 is aimed at the 777's segment, while the 787 slots as a 767 replacement and competitor to the 330.
Please stfu about commercial aviation if you don't know anything.
The 87's order book is deeper than any plane in history this early in the product cycle. The engineering knowhow to construct CF planes will serve BA far into the future.
trav777 -- why don't you drop your arrogant stupidity and try something called Google? Just type in "787 A350" and you might learn something. For instance:
"The A350 was designed to compete with two categories of Boeing aircraft - the brand-new carbon-composite 787 Dreamliner and the larger 777, the world's best-selling wide-body jet."
See: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/01/us-airbus-united-idUSBRE8A01BV20121101
Further, Boeing has already lost some 787s orders from Qantas and Singapore, so "order books" do not equate to actual deliveries, as reported by journals like Air Transport World:
See: http://blogs.atwonline.com/2012/10/26/singapore-airlines-implicit-judgment-on-787-a350/
"Qantas's pullback on the 787-9 reduced Chicago-based Boeing's backlog for the larger derivative of the composite- plastic plane by about 10 percent. It also underscores a travel slowdown that has caused carriers including Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. and Singapore Airlines Ltd. to cut growth plans. "
Have a nice flight, idiot.
SC plant is not the problem; it's outsourcing, a lot of it for inferior ChiCom products, IMO.
It's not their money, why would they care?
Who made the batteries....A-123 or Xtreme power?
It's time to play the music; It's time to light the lights,
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.
It's time to put on makeup; It's time to dress up right,
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.
Why do we always come here; I guess we'll never know,
It's like a kind of torture To have to watch the show.
And now let's get things started; Why don't you get things started - It's time to get things started...
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational - This is what we call the Muppet Show!
Speaking of convictions, when will Golem Sachs and/or Boeing ever be indicted for war crimes, sedition, treason or RICO? Buy stock from dealers making WMD? FOAD, Golem Sachs and Boeing. Oh, and, GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY PLANET!!!!
"you'd rather fly on a freakin airbus? Is you crazy?"
Funny cos on this side of the Atlantic Airbus is considered the nec plus ultra of airplanes!
Anyway this silly US/Europe war will look rather feeble in 2030 when... we all fly Chinese (cough cough).
But there was actually - the first honest US story for quite some time on this topic - a headline piece at Boomie's yesterday pondering why in the world Embraer should be given an 86 percent - Yes, 86 percent! - valuation premium over Bombardier.
Bomber should be soaring on negative news from all of its major competitors. Of course, that would mean allowing Those Dread Canadians to gain an advantage over the US, which cannot happen under any circumstances, as we all know the real threat in the world is not Iran or North Korea or Syria or Mali - it's Canada!

It's no secret that chemistry between two skaters can pay major dividends in fantasy hockey.
Having two players on your roster that work cohesively and regularly combine to account for team goals can compound normal statistical production in your favor. It's comparable to having a strong quarterback-wide receiver connection in fantasy football. Common success between two players can give your team a sizable boost.
But while this season's most productive forward-to-forward point pairs (Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz, etc.) could have been anticipated prior to the season, it would have been much more difficult to detect which forward-defenseman combinations have been most valuable to this point.
So far, the most valuable forward-defenseman point pairs are surprising to say the least. Here's why having these lesser-owned tandems could help your squad moving forward:
Marian Gaborik (RW) and James Wisniewski (D), Columbus Blue Jackets
Gaborik (nine points in eight games) is the focal point of the Blue Jackets' offense and has rediscovered his point-production consistency out of the gate this season. Wisniewski, who had a goal and two assists Tuesday -- including a helper on Gaborik's empty-net goal, has registered a common point with Gaborik five times already this season (tied for first among forward-defenseman pairs). Despite injury issues in recent years (78 games played of a potential 130 from 2011-12 to 2012-13), Wisniewski has been in good health so far. He's a natural facilitator on the Blue Jackets' top power-play unit who will see time with Gaborik all season long barring injury. Wisniewski is only owned in 51 percent of Yahoo leagues, so Gaborik owners should make a concerted effort to reel him in if they still can.
Jiri Hudler (LW) and Mark Giordano (D), Calgary Flames
Hudler has emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the early fantasy season. He tallied another assist Tuesday to extend his season-opening point streak to nine games (longest in the NHL). He has been valuable with the man advantage (six power-play points) and his Yahoo ownership has skyrocketed from the 10-15 percent range earlier this season to 55-60 percent this week. Giordano (64 percent owned) has seen nearly four minutes per game on the power-play and has done most of his damage in conjunction with Hudler. The Giordano-Hudler duo has recorded a point on four Flames power-play goals this season, tied with Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green of the Washington Capitals for the most among forward-defenseman pairs. Giordano has already exceeded his multi-point game total from last season (three in 2013-14, two in 2012-13) and appears revitalized after being named captain. While it remains to be seen if this pair will keep it going, Calgary continues to score at a high rate (3.11 goals per game, tied for eighth). Fantasy owners should try to corral this duo and reap the benefits as long as they can.

Give a Rouse: Meet Blythe George, Dartmouth Class of 2012
June 08, 2012 by Joseph Blumberg
After graduation, Blythe George will serve as an academic counselor at the Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods, a charter school on her tribe's reservation, before beginning a PhD program in sociology. (photo by Eli Burak '00)
Blythe Katelyn George is the first member of the Yurok Native American tribe to attend Dartmouth College, and says she is "eager to return home and use my skills to help other Native youth reach their higher education goals." This work, George continues, "will build off of my Senior Fellowship research on Native student performance in alternative schools."
George, recalling her first day on campus, says, "There is no way I could tell that girl how much she was going to learn in college about her future, academics, building community, and forming lifelong relationships. I never could have predicted how much I would come to love this place and the people that fill it."
The sociology major from McKinleyville, Calif., has immersed herself in many things Dartmouth. She is a member of the 2012 delegation of the Palaeopitus Senior Society, served as the socioeconomic status representative on the Inter-Community Council, and has worked with the First Generation Student Network for Native Americans at Dartmouth, and the Diversity Peer Program. In addition, George is part of the Mellon-Mays undergraduate fellowship program, which encourages undergraduate research, is a member of the Tabard co-ed fraternity, and she has been an undergraduate adviser (UGA) for Residential Life and student area manager for Novack Café for the last three years.
"I'm so proud to be graduating," says George with mixed emotions, "but it comes at the high cost of leaving all this behind. In addition to the credentials and opportunities that this institution has given me, it also gave me friends and mentors that I will stay in touch with for a lifetime, and that network is indispensable, and easily the most important thing that I'll take with me."
After graduation, George will be returning to her home area for a year to serve as an academic counselor at the Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods, a charter school on her tribe's reservation. In 2011 George won a prestigious Beinecke Scholarship which provides significant financial support for graduate studies. "I plan to use the scholarship to pursue a PhD in sociology, with an emphasis in education and economic reform policy in Native or rural communities," says George.

WESTWOOD, CA, November 29. IT came down to the last race. In the end form held as the No. 5 Arizona women's swimming and diving team beat No. 9 UCLA 149-148, on November 19, advancing the Wildcats' record to 3-0 overall (2-0 Pac-10).
Due to a disqualification in the 1000 freestyle for two Arizona swimmers and technical difficulties with the timing system in the 200 backstroke, the women were able to achieve a nail-biting victory over the Bruins. "It literally came down to the last relay," said head coach Frank Busch. "The girls did an amazing job pulling through. We figured if we could win the last race, we could pull off a win by one-point."
The Wildcats won eight out of 14 swimming events starting with the 200 medley relay. Juniors Jenna Gresdal, Erin Sieper, sophomore Whitney Myers and freshman Courtney Cashion won the relay with a time of 1:43.55. Freshman Lacey Nymeyer finished first in two events including the 200 free (1:50.56) and the 50 free (23.53).
In the 100 back, Gresdal won with a time of 55.23 and junior Marshi Smith finished third (56.17). Sieper took first place in both the 100 (1:03.72) and 200 (2:16.99) breaststroke. In the 200 butterfly, senior Emily Mason finished second with a time of 2:02.39 while Myers was not far behind in third (2:02.51). Mason also was second in the 500 free (4:52.89).
In the 100 free, Gresdal finished second (50.66) and Nymeyer was third (50.78). Senior Jessica Hayes and Smith took the top two positions of the 200 back as Hayes finished first (2:00.00) and Smith was second (2:01.00). (Times were inputted for this race strictly to reflect the order of finish as determined by meet officials).
Myers won the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:03.03 and in the 100 fly, placed second (56.11) as junior Lisa Pursley was third (56.41). The 200 free relay team of Nymeyer, junior Ryann Hackett, Mason and sophomore Kathryn Elofson, won the race (and the meet) with a time of 1:35.20.
In the diving well for the women, sophomore Mary Yarrison finished third respectively on both the 1 and 3-meter boards. "It was certainly a character building day," said head diving coach Michele Mitchell-Rocha. "We will have to build off of this experience to improve for next meet."
The Wildcats will resume competition on Thurs., Dec. 2-4 when they travel to Austin, Texas for the annual Texas Invitational.

Mission Accomplished: Spanish Bond Yields Converge To Treasuries
Thanks to more jawboning promises of QE from Draghi this morning, peripheral bond yields in Europe have collapsed once again. Any minute now, Spain will be a lower-yielding bond than the US... and at this pace, you will have to pay Spain to lend it money within a few months... we are sure someone has figured out how entirely useless asset-purchases would be at these levels.. but for now, fight the fed in the US (they remind us that tapering is not tightening remember) but don't fight the promise of the ECB...

Anybody know of a euro bond short ETF?
Isnt that the S&P 500?
Ive been looking to short European Sovereign debt and cant find an ETF.
Got several for the US and a couple for Japan, but none for any European nation?
Short the European banks. they are the ones holding all the paper while they wait for EU QE... Suckas
maybe short wisdomtree etf: EU
people choosing "sides" for war.
(even the oligarchs- but most will be well positioned either way)
now that's funny...what a world of fraud...can make any fat/ugly broad good-lookin
Well if Draghi's jawboning puts the fear of God up the glory holes of HF speculators thats "mission accomplished" in the short term.
Why the blazes should the world Oligarchy casino continue to make its gravy, fed and bred on ZIRP, at the expense of the sovereign bonds; aka the blood of innocents ?
Its not as if these scum bag HFs are anything else except the expression of the cancerous, shadow banked, financialised world.
As for the longer term no jawboning can convert debt into asset whatever the ECB might say.
OT/ But on the spanish front. How the catholic church rewrites History in Cordoba : All mention of that original Omeyyad Mosque, treasure of that age, has now been effaced by the Diocese in charge of it.
It is officially referred to as the "Cathedral" of Cordoba!
On a similar basis the Saint Sophie of Istanbul could be named as a Mosque and we could conveniently forget it was the greatest cathedral of the Orthodox church in the past. When Prelates and Mollahs decide on History its time History bites back and makes their saintly Cojones into "pulp fiction".
I thought that the whole construction is referred to as the Mezquita of Cordoba, and the church inside it as the Cathedral of Cordoba
yep, but apparently the word Mezquita has "vanished" from all official documents. The whole complex was officially known as a Cathedral-Mosque to respect both traditions; not anymore.
I really cannot wait for risk to be repriced....WTF is going on anymore... I feel like everyone took stupid pills to forget the reality of their BS fishbowel worlds.... Take a look around... how many jackasses do you see that are going to own that Tesla they keep talking about...
Surely there's an arbitrage here.
That is, buy USTs, sell EspTs ... and let nature take its course.
ALL Bonds are Bondage. Bondage to a private cartel of bankers, who are allowed to conjure currency out of thin air, and loan it to the nation at interest. With said interest translating into ever increasing taxes, licenses, fees and penalties.
As long as countries do not issue their own Asset-backed currency, it is all one giant MFing Ponzi, and the sheeple are willingly being treated like they deserve to: sheep. And you know what they do to sheep!?
FEUDALISM 2.0. Bitchez!
absolutely ridiculous
Now that is completely screwed up. There are so many distortions in these markets that if they ever let go shit's going to fly everywhere.
"The circle is now complete. Once I was the learner now I am the master."
(In high, shrill, Pinnochio voice) "only a master of evil, Darth!"
These rates could clearly head to Japanese levels as "Madrid becomes the New Tokyo."
Hard to say if we're looking at some type of default or not. Certainly this is very pricy debt. The rate differentials say a lot more about problems in the USA than Spain though...yes, yes?
The answer is C. They are BOTH fake.
What's the unemployment rate in Spain again? Oh, and Spanish loan defaults deserve honorable mention. I'm sure things have drastically improved over the last 60-90 days though. caugh-caugh
Spanish Bad Loans Jump To New Record As Banks Come Clean Over Mortgage Defaults | Zero Hedge
Spanish Loan Defaults Climb to Record 13.1 Percent in November - Bloomberg
So you have to ask yourself- is it that Spain is a better credit than it seems on its face, or is the US a worse one? I am simply flabbergasted that Spain can borrow on terms equal the US at 5 years out.
The acres of new developments that are standing empty and crumbling are testament to the misguided lunacy of the Spanish govt, aided by the EU. I'm not sure how it's possible to see any value in Spain at all. It will more than likely default, so who the hell wants to hold Spanish debt (apart from Mario), even without the premium. They even had to raid their own Social Security to buy their own bonds a couple of years back for the sake of appearances!
What borrowing? This is printing....
The Fed is behind it all, with the Fed being owned by the money masters mostly in Europe. They still can't figure out how to diffuse their about to explode creation so they put out spot fires in the mean time.
The acid test, if you want a real world experience, is to buy an issue and then try to put it up for collateral here in the US. The discount offered against par will be breath taking.
Someone must have looked at the amount the Fed has given and guarantees in Spain.

Exploring the role of WNT signaling in neural progenitor cells
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and their derivatives represent the only research tool to study human development. As such, these cells allow us to study the progression of diseases at the cellular level in a dish, probe how specific genetic defects contribute to the myriad of developmental and birth defects, and generate the "raw material" for the development of cell-based therapies of presently incurable diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. However, our understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying stem cell biology is incomplete, and the processes by which individual cells organize each other to give rise to the complexity of multi-cellular life remain mysterious.
At the heart of embryonic development, and hence stem cell biology, lies an intricate process of cell communication. Individual cells produce and release signals, known as growth factors, that instruct neighboring cells to assume specific behaviors and properties. WNT proteins represent a major class of growth factors with potent effects on stem cells and developmental processes. We will examine the role of these WNT proteins in neural stem cells, a cell type that can generate many of the cells found in the central nervous system. Identifying the mechanisms by which WNT proteins act will contribute valuable tools and protocols for the manipulation of hPSC and neural stem cells into mature cell types suitable for cell replacement therapies and disease modeling.
The rise in life expectancy to over 80 years will likely lead to an increase in the number of people suffering from age-related diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Current medical treatments do not cure such diseases. Recent advances in the study of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have provided the opportunity to develop novel cell replacement therapies for the treatment of many such diseases. Development of novel cell-based therapies will also overcome the inadequacy of conventional drug-based treatments. A major challenge in the study and use hPSCs is to develop robust methods for the directed differentiation of hPSC into functionally mature cell types suitable for therapeutic applications. Our research seeks to gain a better understanding of how to manipulate neural stem cells, a population of cells capable of differentiating into neurons. The proposed research is fundamental to applications of hPSC in regenerative medicine and has broad benefits to researchers with a wide spectrum of scientific interests. The outcome of this project will benefit medical research and provide great benefits to the advancement of California biotechnology. The patents, royalties and licensing fees resulting from the proposed research will provide tax revenues. The proposed research provides not only the foundation for the scientific advances in regenerative medicine to improve health, but also technology advancement and financial profit for the people of California.

Did Chris Colfer Cheat to Help Amber Riley on DWTS? — His Hilarious Response
Amber Riley (Mercedes) experienced a potentially huge setback during the October 15 episode of Dancing With the Stars, and one that was frustratingly entirely out of her control. The Glee actress scored an impressive 26/30 points for her Week 5 foxtrot, but when the show posted the phone number for fans to call in and vote — it ended up being the wrong number flashed across the screen.
Amber tweeted out the correct number, and her Glee co-star Chris Colfer (Kurt) did the same, but with a clever twist.
My cell phone number is 1-800-868-3407. ????— Chris Colfer (@chriscolfer) October 15, 2013
It's not, clearly. But we love Chris' creativity in trying to help make up for Amber's setback. Still, the Glee star's tweet has caused some to question whether or not he cheated by offering additional support.
During an October 15 segment of E! News, the hosts debated whether or not Chris was cheating... and Giuliana Rancic certainly thought so. "I saw that, I'm like, 'Wait, that is not right,'" she says. "It wasn't like he said, 'Call in Amber,' he literally just put it out there. So, of course, people are going to call, and then they vote for her."
Her conclusion? "Listen, it's genius. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure everyone wishes they thought of that."
Chris obviously watched the segment, and he even tweeted about it the next day.
Disagree with the @ENews story about me supporting @MsAmberPRiley on DWTS? Call the @ENews hotline at 1-800-868-3407.— Chris Colfer (@chriscolfer) October 16, 2013
Touche, good sir. (Of course, by this point the DWTS voting period had long ended, and Amber was already safe from elimination. But the sentiment behind Chris' cheeky response couldn't be clearer.)
Amber saw the tweet and responded:
Bwahahhahhhah Chriiiiis hahahahahaa ???? @chriscolfer— Amber Patrice Riley (@MsAmberPRiley) October 16, 2013
E!s' own Kristin Dos Santos even got in on the action. (Spoiler alert: She's Team Chris on this one.)
@chriscolfer @ENews @MsAmberPRiley I'm going to call that number a MILLION times between 8-11pm on Mondays because I'm livid.— Kristin Dos Santos (@KristinDSantos) October 16, 2013
Would you consider Chris's actions to be cheating? Or, given the unfair circumstances of the incorrect phone number, do you view it more as vaillant support? Head below to sound off.

Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi today said one lakh government jobs would be created in the next one year.
Of the one lakh jobs, 12,000 posts would be of police constables, 2,250 sub-inspectors, 3,000 jail wardens, 5,000 doctors, 4,200 agricultural coordinators and 3,100 panchayat secretary among others, an official release said.
At a meeting held here, Manjhi instructed the officials to expedite the recruitment process.
Earlier, the chief minister hit out at the Centre over its purported move to implement the Uniform Civil Code and repeal Article 370 of the Constitution.
"If the central government implements the Uniform Civil Code and repeals Article 370 providing special status to Jammu and Kashmir, national integrity would be in danger," he said at a function in Ara in Bhojpur district today.
Manjhi also cautioned the people not to fall in the trap of communalism and maintain communal harmony for the development of the state and the nation.
"The central policies have neglected Bihar. The Centre did not give anything to Bihar in its general budget. It has not taken any welfare measures for the poor, labourers working in the unorganised sector and farmers during its first 100 days," said Manjhi.
He alleged that the condition of National Highways in Bihar was very bad and the Union government has not reimbursed Rs 1,000 crore spent for their repair during the period when Nitish Kumar was the Chief Minister.
"Bihar should get Rs 40,000 to 50,000 crore from the central taxes. It is not being given. Even the target of completing 6 lakh Indira Awas Yojna during this financial year was reduced to 2.8 lakh by the Centre," added Manjhi.
He said the state government has formed a committee to make a Commissionerate for Ara and efforts were on to establish a medical college and an indoor stadium there.
Manjhi also extended his good wishes to teachers of the state on the occasion of Teachers' Day tomorrow.

|WP comes out swinging against St. Francis
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 16 September 2011 20:45
Bronco freshman Sydnee Harchelroad, right, is typically the one putting the ball into play as a setter but also can drill a hit when she needs to like she did against St. Francis last week. Harchelroad led her team in kills with seven on 10 attempts.
By Carl Williams
The Wauneta Breeze
The opening season stretch for the Wauneta/Palisade volleyball team had the Lady Broncos beating St. Francis in three sets 25-19, 25-17 and 25-13 after falling to the Lady Indians in straight sets last year.
The young squad turned up the heat from the start with Emma Skelton serving and a getting a quick jam from Sheyla Christner. At 2:25 into the set W/P took a time out at 7-2 and then with Christner serving went on an 8-point tear. The Broncos got tough on defense and offense, putting St. Francis on their heels with slams by Tailor Lee, Christner, Jonee Maris and Sydnee Harchelroad. The young reserves of Cassidy Rathe, Brooklyn Nordhausen and Brianna Einspahr added fire to the group.
Wauneta/Palisade took a time out, leading 19-4. Coming back, W/P's offense went stale and St. Francis put points on the board. Coach Michelle Harchelroad called a time out, adjusting the line-up and W/P put the match away 25-19.
In the second set, both teams started out playing "in your face offense and defense." Following a W/P time out with the score at 11-9, Skelton started the W/P scoring with 4 straight points with excellent play by a host of Broncos, ending the set at 25-17.
The third set started with a beautiful slam by Christner. W/P, knowing they had control, started putting the ball over the net as the aces started adding up. The set ended in a 25-13 win.
Bronco Sheyla Christner had a hot hand with 17 aces, 6 kills against the Indians. Lee and Maris each had 3 kills. Freshman Sydnee Harchelroad had 33 sets with 5 assists.
Sheyla Christner powers a hit through the hands of a St. Francis defender as the Broncos rolled over the Kansas team 3-0 in WP's season opener. Christner led in serving with 14 aces and in blocking with three stuffs. She also hammered six kills.
The Lady Broncos travelled to Trenton on Saturday for the Hitchcock County tourney play, hoping to work through the tournament with more success than finishing with 1-2 last season.
The varsity finished the tournament at 1-2, losing to the Hitchcock County Falcons in two sets, 10-25 and 15-25. They came back to beat the Medicine Valley Lady Raiders 25-17 and 25-19, then lost to Hayes Center 19-25 and 14-25.
The Lady Broncos played host to the Southwest Roughriders Tuesday. They travel to Chase County tonight (Thursday) with game time at 5 p.m. MT/6 p.m. CT and then Friday at Haxtun, Colo., with game time set for 4 p.m. MT/5 p.m. CT.
Jayvee play
The Wauneta/Palisade JV team opened with wins over Cheylin, Kan., Sept. 1, then took on St. Francis, Kan., last Friday night, winning two straight sets, 25-21 and 25-18.
The W/P team of young, talented netters showed hustle and determination to secure the 2 set win with 5'8" Tailor Lee, 5'11" Brooklyn Nordhausen and 5'4" Brianna Einspahr looking to slam and jam with Sydnee Harchelroad, Leiauna Alberts and Cassidy Rathe with timely assists and digs.
On Saturday they travelled to Culbertson for the Hitchcock County tournament, hoping to better their 2-1 record of last year.
The JV Lady Broncos took second place losing to the Hitchcock County Lady Falcons 15-25 and 25-27 in the first round, then came back beating Arapahoe, 25-19 and 25-17. They lost to Hitchcock County in three sets in the second match up in the championship game, 25-21, 19-25 and 20-25.
A busy week of play started with Southwest JVs on Tuesday, then at Chase County on Thursday with game time at 5 p.m. MT/6 p.m. CT. Friday's game will be at Haxtun, Colo., with the game starting at 4 p.m. MT/5 p.m. CT.

It happened to me once. An application couldn't run (not enough memory)
because of the Quadrics stack setting the malloc options.

It would be interesting (though difficult) to know which proportion of

For my part, it is less than 1% (but not 0!).

Three Maronite Masabki Brothers
the end of the 13th century, there lived in Damascus a married
Maronite priest named Ya'qoub. This priest lived with his family in
"Masback el barrani," a quarter of Damascus. The Damascans, who
highly respected this "zealous and honorable" priest, gave his
descendants the last name of "Massabki," for the name of the quarter
in which he lived.
1293, Father Ya'qoub was ordained Bishop of Damascus, but
persecution forced him to flee the city, along with other Maronite
families, and to take refuge in Cyprus where the respected Prelate
died, mourning the death of his son Francis, massacred at Zabadani
(Syria). In the 15th century, his sons and grandsons returned to
Damascus where they were known by the name of "Massabki".
Ne'meh Massabki
Francis Massabki
Francis married Elizabeth Chiha, who gave birth to three boys and
five girls. Francis was a tall, handsome man with clear eyes, gentle
and humble, but with a strong will in the face of difficulty. He
wore the dress (gunbaz) that was in the style of his time and
covered his head with a large black turban.
He was
a generous man. His vast home was open to everybody, particularly
foreigners and pilgrims. Francis possessed fabulous wealth, acquired
through untiring toil and integrity in business: he was involved in
the sale of natural silk. The Lebanese entrusted their products to
him, which he then sold in Syria and elsewhere. He was charged with
attending to the spiritual and material affairs of the Maronite
Patriarch in Syria.
going about his business, Francis said his morning prayers with his
family, attended Liturgy, and took communion. He was always at the
disposal of the priests in his community, devoting his time and
money to them. His magnanimity and his generosity were not limited
to his family and fellow churchgoers. His popularity went beyond the
Syrian borders, and in Lebanon, it was told, they announced his
arrival from village to village by tolling bells.
Abdel-Mohti Massabki
and slender, Abdel Mohti preferred solitude. He lived with his wife
and children in his brother Francis's house. Abdel Mohti spent his
life raising and educating his children. His teachings were
impregnated with a deep faith and true piety. One of his students
testified that Abdel Mohti would often repeat to them: "The
Christian must always be ready to spill his blood for the love of
Christ, and that man's greatest joy is to receive the grace of
Mohti attended the Holy Sacrament each day and fasted all of Lent,
without tasting even oil. He observed all holy days and religious
ceremonies and taught his children the psalms and religious chants.
In church, Abdel Mohti kneeled directly on the ground, erect,
without leaning, and stayed thus throughout each Liturgy. His knees,
according to his student George, became hard and callous.
of his teaching career, he went into business; but his delicate
conscience forced him to close shop for fear of "deceiving his
customers." From that day forward, he dedicated his life to prayer
and meditation.
Raphael Massabki
Raphael was short, feeble-bodied, black-eyed, and simple-hearted.
Devout, he prayed to the Virgin Mary with a pure and filial heart;
he often turned to her in his business dealings. Raphael was humble.
He lived as a poor bachelor, but rich in the love of God, and
received the grace of martyrdom with his brothers.
1860, Ahmed Pasha ruled Syria. A sectarian tyrant, nothing would
prevent him from achieving his ends.
July 9
of that year, by a special and secret order, Ahmed Pasha's henchmen
traced crosses in the streets of Damascus and made it known that the
"Children of the Christians" were the authors. Spirits were troubled
and reprisals were unleashed. Fear permeated the Christian quarters.
The trouble was distasteful to honest Muslims, and with the Council
of Powers, they demanded of Ahmed to put an end to the trouble for
the peace of the inhabitants and the safety of peoples' lives. So
Ahmed sent his emissaries to imprison some Christians charged with
"disturbing the public peace," and then quickly released them.
sundown, the governor gave the order to his agents, with the help of
some hoodlums, to go in to the streets and start fires. Having
arrived in front of the Orthodox Church, they set it afire after a
bloody massacre. The fire spread, and theft and plundering rampaged
through house after house. On the morning of July 10, the Christians
were massacred, their houses destroyed and their goods stolen. The
survivors took refuge in the citadel, aided by the great Emir
Abdel-Kader of Algeria, and by several Muslims.
8 o'clock in the evening, while fire took hold of the Orthodox
Christian quarters, Francis, Abdel Mohti, and Raphael were at home.
Fearing the furor and ferocity of the massacres, they left their
wives and children and headed for the Franciscan convent.
At 11
o'clock, the Mission Superior closed and barricaded the doors, and
invited the refugees into the church. After the litany, the Fathers
heard confession and gave communion to all of the devoted present.
From the church, they climbed to the convent terrace; only Francis
remained kneeling before the altar of the Sorrowful Mother.
At one
hour past midnight, the slaughterers infiltrated the house by a
secret door shown to them by Hassan Allaf, the house manager. Some
refugees took flight. Ahmed's agents seized the Superior who
promised to show them the hiding place of a treasure. They followed
him in delirious joy. The Father descended into the church, lighted
two candelabras, opened the tabernacle, and swallowed the Blessed
Hosts. He was killed upon the altar. Francis remained kneeling
before the Virgin. Ahmed's agents recognized him. They advanced
towards him and said: "Sheik Abdallah has sent us to save you from
death; you, your brothers, your families, and all those who depend
upon you for protection, on the condition that you deny your faith
and convert to Islam." Francis responded calmly: "Sheik Abdallah can
take the money I lent him, he can also take my life; but my faith,
no one can make me deny. I am a Maronite Christian and on the faith
of Christ, I will die."
will kill you," they cried. "I will be with my Lord." Francis then
began a prayer, which he finished in heaven. The slaughterers
massacred him with swords, hatchets, and daggers.
Mohti was on the church terrace, when the convent fell into the
hands of the assassins. He ran to the church to take refuge near his
brother, but at the chapel door, he was seized and asked to deny his
faith in order to enter Islam. His life would be spared. In a clear
voice, he proclaimed: "I am a Christian, kill me, I am ready."
Daggers and hatchets severed his body and he fell at the church
As for
Raphael, he was hiding in a corner of the convent. They found him
and propositioned him: "become a Muslim, you will be saved." Raphael
fell to his knees and appealed to the Holy Virgin. He was beheaded
and trampled.
the calm had returned, witnesses assure, the three martyred brothers
were buried with the Franciscan Priests, martyrs for their faith.
The Beatification
years passed from the time of the heroic death of the three Massabki
brothers. God then allowed the revival of their memory. In
accordance with the Patriarch, the Apostolic Nuncio, and the
community Bishops, Msgr. Chemaly, Maronite archbishop of Damascus,
addressed a letter to the Vatican imploring the Holy Father to join
the beatification of the three Maronite martyrs to that of their
companions, the Franciscan Priests: "It was on the same date" said
he, "and for the same faith, that they gave their lives." The letter
also begged the Holy Father to pay particular attention to this
request, so that the beatification of the three martyrs would be a
source of grace for the Damascus community and a rebirth of
Christian life in the hearts of the Eastern faithful. This letter
aroused particular interest in Pius XI, who ordered Msgr. Salotti to
attend to the matter without delay. On May 10, Msgr. Chemaly
received a letter from Msgr. Salotti, requesting documents and
testimonials of the martyrdom of the Massabkis.
telegram provided the requisite assurances to Msgr. Salotti, who
arrived in Beirut September 6. The Committee began studying the
documents and interrogating several witnesses. Three days later, the
Committee returned to Damascus where they heard the deposition of
Sir Nicholas Kadi and the testimony of several noteworthy Damascans.
To conclude the study, it heard the testimony of the Maronite Vicar
of Damascus, Father Abraham Massabki. Before returning to Rome,
Msgr. Salotti confided to Msgr. Chemaly: "If I die on the way, your
martyrs' cause will not perish."
October 7, 1926, His Holiness Pius XI proclaimed the beatification
of the three brothers.
the power of these lines are named Most Blessed Martyrs the servants
of God Francis, Abdel Mohti, and Raphael Massabki, Maronites of
Damascus…and we hereby permit the display of their relies before all
the devout, and the celebration, on their day of remembrance, of the
Liturgy of the Martyrs.

How can life be so grand one week, and so tough the next?
Sorry, this is not bicycle related...but I've gotta vent.....
Our 21 year old daughter, who's in her fourth year of a five year College and lives at home, broke-up with her boy freind of four years last week. Three days later she announced that she was taking delivery on her new motorcycle this Tuesday (last night). We got kinda concerned. What new Motorcycle? She says it's a Yamaha R6. We got real concerned. We explained that we understood the advantages of motorcycles, but we firmly believe she should start out on a smaller Cruising style bike (200cc range), and as her skill level increased she could upgrade. She countered that she had no problem handling the Kawasaki that she co-owned with her ex boy freind. WHAT KAWASAKI ??? It turns out she's been riding since late last summer, unknown to us, and she's confident that she knows what she's doing. I just scrounged up close to $1,000 to repair the rear then front brakes on her car...."Oh, that's what that scraping noise was!" And now she's buying a $9,000 motorcycle, against our wishes. She's going to California for a six-month co-op in June...and she intends to ship the bike out there and back. That's another $1,000. She's obviously been planning this for a while. I firmly believe that had she not broken up with her boy freind, we never would have known a thing (no place to hide the bike with him out of the picture). She hasn't even got her Motorcycle license yet.
O.K. so I know enough to put my wallet away...from now on she can pay her own way. I feel like I've been taken advantage of (not only financially, but I feel like she played us like a fiddle). She assumed we wouldn't approve. I guess I'm extremely gullable and stupid. However, she's our daughter and we love her dearly. I'm certain she's going to seriously hurt herself and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. I'm really struggling with changing from the protecting parent role to the advise giving bystander in our daughter's life, especially since she's so headstrong and seemingly unwilling to heed any of it. It's also difficult for me to determine if my feelings are truly warrented, or if it just seems that way from my perspective. My wife just sits there and stares at me...not much help from her right now. This isn't at all like Father Knows Best was on TV. Has anybody else been thru anything similar to this, or am I the only idiot dumb enough to get dupped this way? How did you cope? How should I cope?

NAMI Report Reveals Deep Cuts to State Mental Health Services
A report published this month by NAMI reveals that states are slashing community mental health budgets and eliminating inpatient beds. Two-thirds of states have cut mental health care in the last three years—even though need has increased because of the nation's economic distress and troops returning home from war.
A wide range of services have faced cuts, including those that are key to preventing a crisis, including crisis intervention teams (CIT), acute (emergency) and long-term hospital treatment, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) programs,

Managing Pain That Steals Your Sleep
The first step is to reduce the pain, Falco says. "Pain control reduces anxiety and depression, improves sleep, and makes for better overall quality of life."
Falco adds that people with pain and sleep problems should undergo a diagnostic sleep study.
When it comes to medications, tell your doctor about the sleep problems you're having as a result of your pain. Then follow his or her orders. Painkillers and/or sleeping pills can work for some people, but they should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.
And in terms of pain that follows surgery, banking up on sleep a few weeks beforehand may help. "People don't intuitively think they need to rest up for surgery; but they really should as it can help with pain control," Marks says. Research has shown that people who get enough rest before surgery require less pain medication afterward.
Once the surgery has taken place, narcotic pain medications can make the first few nights of sleep more restful. "Try to time your last dose around the time you go to bed so it will last through the night," Marks says.
How to Get the Sleep You Need
Calm yourself with meditation and other relaxation techniques.
When done effectively, as little as 10 minutes of daily meditation can help your mind ignore the pain, Marks says. There are many different types of meditation, including guided meditation, tai chi, and yoga. But you can also improvise. "Use deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or focus on an object or scene," Marks says.
Gentle massage is also beneficial for both insomnia and chronic pain. In a study published in the InternationalJournal of Neuroscience, participants who had two 30-minute massages a week for five weeks experienced better sleep and less lower back pain.
Exercise the right way.
Regular exercise can improve both pain and sleep issues, Falco says. However, activity within three hours of bedtime can keep you up, so the earlier in the day you work out, the better. For pain, the best exercise is moderate and low-impact. Try walking, yoga, or swimming.

Hurricanes are nothing to joke about. But, the seasonal super storms come and go with such regularity that we refer to them with a familiarity normally offered to a great aunt.
Under ordinary circumstances, we would prepare for Hurricane Sandy's visit the same as we would for any relative arriving from out of town. We would stock the pantry with some extra food and cancel any travel plans that might conflict with the dates that she is in town.
But this year, Aunt Sandy is overlapping her visit with some relatives from the west and the the north and they don't mix company very well. As a result, a drama unfolds which demands our serious attention.
Frankenstorm is Coming!
Frankenstorm is a monster storm that is predicted to occur when our great Aunt Sandy (the hurricane) crosses paths with two other weather disturbances that are approaching the region the North Atlantic from the west and north. This convergence of hurricane, winter storm and cold front is a recipe for disaster — and just in time for Halloween.
Frankenstorm is a good name for a storm. It is memorable and instantly delivers a message that demands the attention that it deserves. Something big — something strong — something scary is coming.
Many scientists predict that we will have more of these monster storms as a result of Global Warming. But many others don't give much credit to Global Warming's role or even it's existence.
Global Warming? Meh.
IMO, the failure of our preoccupation with Global Warming is partly due to the message that the name, Global Warming, sends.
Global is good. Warming is good.
So why should we be worried about Global Warming? Also, the name doesn't account for those monster winter storms or colder than average temperatures in some regions that result from climate change.
Seth Godin hit the nail on the head years ago when he suggested that they would have been much smarter — or at least would have made climate change sound much more ominous, had they called it Pollution Cancer.
Doesn't matter what you market. Human beings want:
totems and icons
meters (put a real-time mpg or co2 meter in every car and watch what happens)
95% of the new ideas that don't spread–even though their founders and fans believe they should–fail because of the list above. [continue reading]
So, when you are naming your next storm, or your next event, or your next child — make sure that you give it a name that carries the message that you want to deliver. If it's dangerous — the name should clearly indicate danger. If it's important — the name should denote importance.
Can you think of good or bad examples of names used to represent something or someone?

After a long and painful period of waiting, the boys at Blizz decided to ease our feelings by finally releasing the trailer for Patch 5.4: The Siege of Orgrimmar. As we would have expected the lead character in the trailer is Garrosh, who does whatever bad guys tend to do before they are brought to justice (that's killed and looted here) in games like this one, more exactly he defiles the land of Pandaria! Kinda brings back memories of the good old late major bosses uch as: Kil'Jaden, Lich King, Deathwing and others under their command.
But anyway don't just take my word for it, go ahead and watch the trailer (and if you've already watched it then do it again, it's EPIC!) to convince yourselves of the rage induced insanity of young Hellscream:
MoP Patch 5.4: The Siege of Orgrimmar – Trailer
So there you have it, the last component of the PTR for version 5.4. After this one anyone can figure it out that the official launch of the patch is that close (insert picture with the small distance between fingers here). And yes I can't help but say that our pandaren friend there really managd to touch a sensible string in the Warchief's soul and that really gives the game some serious profoundness (or maybe not, it's just a game after all, right?).
And finally just let me remind you that if you want that head start, the edge or the upper hand on your fellow players with the coming of this new patch, you should really consider joining Zygor Guides for the best strategy guides in terms of almost everything … except for gold cause there you should get yourself the new and improved Tycoon Gold Adoon. Or if you want it all from one place then you can also take into consideration the guides offered by Dugi. Cause you know all these premium strategy guides for WoW, tend to be updated shortly after the official lanch of the new patch (patch 5.4 in this case) so that you may make excellent use of them right away!
Well, that's quite it for me today, I do hope you'll enjoy the new content as much as I did back in the PTR and as much as I will as soon as it goes live. But for the few days left until this goes live feel free to take a sneak peak at the guides I recommended above and why not, get ready for the grand finale of Mists of Pandaria and start paying real attention to any gossip on the possible next expansion also known as World of Warcraft version 6.0!

You probably won't be surprised to hear that we changed our minds again. We decided during the night to stay here for another day or two. We can plug in an electric heater (you folks back home remember that although it is marginally warmer here than there, we are in an uninsulated boat!!) and Jim does not have to face the prospect of hauling up a dragging anchor in the middle of a frosty night.
We're going with the better safe than sorry approach.
I'll write more later!
02/01/2010/4:29 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
I see that on Dec 16, I was running around here in shorts and T-shirt. This is just a quick note to say that today we are all bundled up in layer upon layer of clothing. It was 44F in the cockpit this morning and has only marginally warmed up on the dock. The wind is blowing 15-20 knots. The marina staff are scurrying around to ready the water lines for the cold snap expected over the next few days. The forecast calls for lows of 23 to 27F over the next few days.
I talked with my dad this morning and heard that it was just above 0C in Amherst, NS with blowing snow. At the time it was 48F here - windy but sunny. I'll look up the comparisons but you can figure that since 0C is about 32F, it's pretty much the same temp here.
Ken (Oz) joined us for dinner last night and we dined in Lowcountry style. Shrimp and scallops sauteed with onions, peppers, lemon and a dash of hot sauce, served over cheesy grits. The green veg was snow peas (with carrots, peppers and dip earlier) and we finished off with pecan pie and constant comfort tea. Aaaaah.... it was a comfort!
A small cruise ship was tied up on the wharf opposite us overnight - the American Glory - fun to see it come in so carefully. Multiply it by 5 and it would match the ships we used to watch in Halifax harbour!
We've pumped out the dinghy and are about to get it up on the davits. Fuel is topped up and we'll get water tanks filled shortly too. We'll be off in the morning for St Augustine! Gotta beat that freeze!
01/01/2010/2:30 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
A new year; a new decade! How is it possible that 10 years have passed since Jim and I stood on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario to ring in the new millennium?
Little did we know at the time that, before the decade was over, we'd buy a sailboat ... and then a bigger one ... and sail from Gananoque all the way down the St. Lawrence Seaway and River to the Atlantic Ocean ... and then sail all the way to the Bahamas. Little did we know we'd have so much fun that we would move back to Halifax after almost 20 years away and then sail off to the Bahamas again to start the next decade.
Well - that last part was supposed to happen. According to our plan, we were supposed to be in Green Turtle Cay enjoying the Junkanoo today. But then - it is those "supposed to's" that can get a person looking at things all backwards. Perhaps we are "supposed to" be right where we are, having exactly the experiences we are having. One decision causes an effect and another decision causes another effect and Presto! Here we are!
After a delightful 2 weeks in Nova Scotia visiting family (Mary Beth, Liam and Alex pictured above with Jim and me) and enjoying a wintery Christmas, we arrived back in Fernandina Beach late on Wednesday evening. Jim had arranged with Sheila from Relax and Ride Cab Company to pick us up at the Jacksonville Airport and drive us back here to the marina. They have a good system there - the prearranged drive parking lot is right outside the baggage area, and Sheila was waiting for us. ($60.00 flat fee for the 45 minute drive - not bad considering that it is $55.00 from downtown Halifax to the airport - a 35 minute drive)
We slept in late, had a good big breakfast of eggs with peppers, onions and cheese along with raisin scones whipped up in our own little galley, washed down with a couple of pots of coffee. Just as we were about to head up to the lounge and check e-mail, who should come striding purposefully down the dock but Steve! We had thought they'd be gone, but in good cruiser fashion, one day rolled into another and into another with the last minute jobs and they were still here. (They DID leave this morning, Jan 1st)
The great result was that we could spend New Year's Eve together. After an afternoon of provisioning for us, and packing for them, we met to explore some of the party venues in Fernandina Beach - starting with a glass of champagne their home. We moved on to Florida House on 3rd Street where business was steady and our bar tender was harried, and where we perched at the bar to observe the fashionable folks enjoying their dinners. Some of the ladies had lovely, skimpy little dresses and a couple of the men wore kilts! - not a common sight here in the south I wouldn't think.
Moving on, we checked out Wicked Davey's where just a few early folk were starting the evening (9ish). Our cab driver had told us it would be a good place to party, but the party must have been happening later. The musicians were just setting up as we left, but I'd go there again sometime since it has good old-time-bar atmosphere and Sandi said there is frequently live music. We had worked up a hunger by then so we checked out Arte's for pizza but, to our surprise, they were just closing down. The obvious place for us to wander next was Pablo's - the Mexican restaurant favoured by all of us. I can see why that place does an excellent business. Steve and Sandi - regulars from when the place first opened were greeted with big hugs; the food - as always - was excellent; our waiter hailed from Hungary where Steve had often worked and where he and Sandi lived for several months and which made for animated conversation.
By the time we delivered our dear friends to their boat we were all pretty tired and bed felt good. I tried to stay awake until the magic hour but sleep came too quickly and for the first time in a good number of years, I missed the ringing in of the New Year. It was a wonderful way to spend the evening though, and we were so happy to be able to spend one more evening together before Princess and Madcap head off on their journeys south. Although our timetables are different for the moment, we know we'll see each other again in the Bahamas.
We woke up to cold wind and rain for New Year's Day, and Jim and I spent the morning packing away some of the bags of food and supplies I picked up yesterday. By 3pm the sun was out and it had warmed up - a bit! We'll probably pay one more visit to Harris Teeter this afternoon, (open today along with many of the other larger stores) and we'll dine on scallops, shrimp and cheesy grits tonight. We plan to take the outside route to St Augustine on Sunday morning after we've taken care of laundry and "finishing up" chores.
With full hearts, we send our best wishes to all of you for a creative, successful, hopeful and happy New Year!

I'm sure there is an obvious answer to this on these boards or elsewhere but I can't find it.

I'm sure there is an obvious answer to this on these boards or elsewhere but I can't find it.
Using an IMAP client, in my case Evolution, deleting messages via the client does not delete the messages on the server.
how do you know the messages aren't deleted on the server?
if you close evolution and then load the web client, are the messages in the trash?
are there any clues in the zimbra.logs?
My inbox via the web interface shows 36 messages. I see 4 in evolution. I delete a message in evolution, still appears in web interface.
Nothing apparent to me in the logs.
Basically it seems to be working like a standard POP interface with a leave copy of message on server option.
IIRC, in evolution when you delete a message it only gets the moved to Trash. To completely remove them from the server as well you need to go to the menu Actions/Expunge or hit ctrl-e - that will delete them from Evolution and the server.
i think he's referring to the problem outlined here:
i agree, its very confusing behaviour to those who use multiple clients or who share accounts with others.
dijichi2, you are corect. The following bug is exactly it. I can't figure out anyway in Evolution, at least via the GUI options, to change behavior.
Now how to deal with it...
I don't really understand why this is a problem. :confused:Quote:

Be aware that they won't go to Trash in the web UI of Zimbra they will be gone, if you also have the zimbra web ui open then you'll need to do a refresh as they'll still show in the list of email. Doesn't that do what you want?
this is not the problem. the problem is that most imap clients mark the message as \Deleted and then hide such flagged messages prior to expunge. this is also the case if you move a message which in imap speak is a copy+delete. so if you delete or move messages from an imap client, before you expunge or logout/expunge, they still show up as normal messages in the zimbra webUI. for an account that is shared between different people using different clients, as is common with an info@ or webmaster@ account in larger organizations, this is very confusing behaviour. this may not be the way zimbra like us to use email, but thats the way it happens, like it or not. to not give an option to make these flagged messages obvious or hide them is simply incorrect.
Well, the same thing happens if you use two different clients such as Evolution one one PC and Kmail on another - delete it in Kmail and it still shows in the inbox in Evolution. This doesn't appear to me, a problem with the Zimbra gui.
Not being an expert on IMAP I can't comment on whether that's the correct behaviour. Are you implying that Zimbra isn't following an RFC spec? If you (or the original o/p) would like different behaviour then vote for the bug or put a new one in bugzilla. Perhaps this is a problem with the particular clients being used?

Do Italian Ricotta Cookies need to be refrigerated after baking?
Ricotta Cookies
Replies to this discussion
reply by: calico on December 08, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Hi JaneDough - I just looked at a recipe for "Ricotta Drops" from Nick Malgieri's book, Cookies Unlimited. Nothing is mentioned about refrigerating these type of cookies after they're baked. I have never made ricotta cookies. I usually make ricotta pies, which definitely require refrigeration. But if I were ever to make these cookies, I wouldn't refrigerate them. Besides, I trust Nick - he knows his stuff!
reply by: Jane Dough on December 09, 2010 at 5:40 am
Thanks Calico. I also heard from an Italian friend of mine who says she leaves her out unless she wants them to last longer and then she pops them in the fridge. Here in Delaware lots of folks have memories of their Italian Grandmas making these cookies.

The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University: Who Assumes the Risks of College Life?

The past decades have seen an alarming increase in campus crime, alcohol abuse by college students, hazing and other risky student activities. There is a growing awareness of the need to make safer college campuses. While danger to students has been on the rise, the relationships between students and their universities has grown increasingly distant. The rise in danger and the loss of community on college campuses has been inadvertently facilitated by legal rules. Courts crafted legal protections for colleges which backfired: legal rules designed to protect colleges from lawsuits instead encouraged colleges to become insular and to avoid positive steps to protect student safety.Bickel and Lake re-imagine the role of law in university/student relations. Picking up on recent court decisions and legislative initiatives, the authors describe a new legal paradigm for college safety--the facilitator university. The modern college is not a baby-sitter or custodian of students: but it is also not a mere bystander to student safety. The facilitator university balances the rights and responsibilities of students and institutions and envisions campuses which feature shared responsibility for student safety. Law can be a positive tool for improving safety and community on modern campuses.

There are about 50 different deer repellent products on the market today. And they all claim to be the best solution to your deer damage issues, but most of them are a huge disappointment to frustrated homeowners. Part of these complaints are from not following the label directions or being too frugal, but a larger share of the bad user feedback out there is warranted. Making matters worse for you are the high number of fake and paid-for reviews on the internet, even when it's a "verified buyer". So, you must keep this calculated marketing maneuver in mind as your weigh your deer control options.
This Is What Works Best…
- Application Type: foliar spray
- Deer Control Method: taste and smell
- Active Ingredients: putrescent eggs, sulfur, essential oils
- Rain Resistance: totally – even through heavy rain
- Chemical Makeup: not necessary – natural ingredients work great
- EPA Approval: exempt
- Effects On Plants: non-staining, safe on all ornamental plants
- Safe For Edibles: no (see below)
With the exception of blood, which is far less effective than eggs, all active deer repellent ingredients, effective sticker agents, and even most inactive ingredients – will alter the taste of your fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The problem with blood is that it washes right off without a sticker like latex or oils.
The most effective vegetable garden deer proofing is a fence. Unless you like applying a dried blood solution almost every day, and even if you enjoy this task – blood is a fertilizer. Too much of it will cause a nutrient imbalance in your garden.
Most Effective Application:
Everyone enjoys being able to accomplish things the easiest way possible. Today's busy person always seeks out the most convenient way to do anything, and will gravitate to the one that will be the least amount of hassle. Unfortunately, when it comes to how you put deer repellent in your yard, the fast and easy way will also have the least effectiveness. Sometimes it's also the most unattractive, like hanging sachets. Little white sacks hanging from the bushes, tree branches, and stakes every 4 feet looks tacky – and they don't work 9 times out of 10.
Cost is always a concern with every homeowner. But as with anything else, the quality that goes into making a deer repellent product will affect your results. This is not to say that the most expensive repellent is the one you should use. An effective product will cost you less to work with in the long run, a lot less than replacing damaged plants. Just remember that cheap stuff is much lower priced for a reason, and quality isn't ever one of them. Getting a good buy on an effective deer repellent will always save the most money.
Perimeter barrier deer repellent products are highly ineffective. To work they must stink to high heavens, which repels people more than it does hungry deer. Even you, if you're famished, will put up with some minor discomfort to stop that gnawing feeling in your stomach. A predator's scent doesn't stop hungry deer WHERE they know the predator exists – they will test the safety factor. In a heavily populated urban and suburban area, most deer have no idea what a coyote is, let alone that they should be afraid of it. The two have ceased to occupy the same area decades ago in most places. Herd knowledge, like human history, cannot be passed down through generations if no one is reminded of it. Again, the most effective perimeter barrier is a fence.
It's not like the deer are going to stop trying to feast in your yard, so avoiding this investment is silly. It's something you will have much future use for. A small pump sprayer is best, and get a quality brand. This will be easiest to work with, and a reliable yard tool. Trigger sprayers make your hand hurt, even when you don't have tons of plants to protect. End of hose applicators will be harder to control, dragging the hose around with you is a hassle, and they make it pretty impossible to get the underside of leaves without bathing in your deer repellent. Part of the way to keep your deer repellent costs affordable is not wasting it while maintaining good coverage. For protecting your grass or large areas of ground cover, an end of the hose setup is your best choice of applicator, BUT protecting the lawn this way is a very costly constant chore… you will just cut it off with the mower!
Effective deer repellents do not have to gag you. Animals have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans. A deer can smell your plants up to a mile away! They can pick up a delicious aroma out of all the other smells around them. And truth be known, the more pleasant smelling deer repellent can also be the one that works best.
Best Deer Repellents To Try:
- Deer Stopper (this one works! 🙂 we love it)
- Everguard (definitely works! we tested it 😉 )
- Deer B Gon
- Deer Out
- I Must Garden

Emily Douglas is a nerd. A human resources nerd, that is.
Douglas, 31, is the director of human capital for Battelle for Kids, an education and compensation consulting firm based in Columbus, Ohio.
"I'm a nerd. It took me a long time to embrace that, but I'm OK with that now that I've turned 30. I read a lot. I'm always reading, I'm always studying, I'm always reflecting, I'm always asking people for feedback. Sometimes it's hard to hear things, but you need to hear them," she says. "I'm definitely a HR business or strategy nerd, whatever you want to call me."
The latest example she gave to highlight her nerdy love of HR is a compensation certification exam she took July 3—not because she was required to, but just because she just felt like it. Yet it's her self-described "nerdiness" that has allowed her to achieve a high level of success throughout her career.
Douglas' work with Battelle for Kids centers on compensation systems for school districts and state education departments across the United States.
She says one of the biggest challenges in education is attracting people with the proper degrees to teach math and science. Douglas says that instead of becoming teachers, people with degrees in math and science are heading to jobs in the private sector or better-paying government jobs. An important reason why is that many school districts use a compensation system that's more than 100 years old and is based on tenure and the amount of degrees teachers have rather than their performance. "Essentially that sets up a system that doesn't work. It doesn't do what we want it to do," she says.
To correct poorly designed compensation systems, Battelle for Kids consults research about pay methods that work well at retaining highly talented teachers in all subjects, in addition to studying compensation systems in other industries. They then collaborate with education administrators to implement a better compensation system.
In her free time, Douglas heads a nonprofit called Grandma's Gifts, which she started when she was 11. The purpose of the organization is to give children from low-income families necessities like clothing and toothbrushes or even science equipment for their classrooms. The success of Grandma's Gifts means disadvantaged children are given a better chance to be successful in life.
But despite Douglas' many accomplishments, she says her greatest achievement is having a job where she can move fluidly across different industries and apply best practices.
