WASHINGTON (Nov. 8)
Chief Justice Earl Warren praised the B'nai B'rith Organization last night as representative of the American longing for "comradeship that comes from associating ourselves together in humanitarian causes." The Chief Justice spoke before more than 750 guests at a dinner celebrating the ground-breaking of the new B'nai B'rith building in Washington.
Chief Justice Warren envisaged the B'nai B'rith building as a "source of inspiration for all Americans, a center of knowledge and culture." The building, he said, "can serve to illuminate the entire record of three centuries of American achievement in helping men to live together in peace and unity.
"American patriotism requires political allegiance but not uniformity in faith, in culture or in sentiment, " the Chief Justice asserted. "Unity does not involve uniformity. " Different religions, he added, "far from setting up conflicting loyalties…aid richness, and color and vitality to there fabric of our national life."
Praising those who fight for American liberties against onslaught from abroad and at home, the Chief Justice declared; "We need men and women, whose minds are free, men and women who can write and speak boldly the words that set forth the truth."
A model of the million-dollar, eight-story building to be erected by the B'nai B'rith Henry Monsky Foundation was unveiled at the dinner. The structure will house manuscripts, historical documents, paintings, sculpture, and a Four Freedoms Memorial Library sponsored by the B'nai B'rith Women.

Can You Beat Cellulite?
3 experts take a look at the latest treatments
By Colette Bouchez
Reviewed By Cynthia Dennison Haines, MD
Perhaps nothing is cuter than a pair of dimples accentuating your smile. But it's not so cute when dimples turn up on your thighs, buttocks, tummy, and upper arms.
The problem is cellulite, fatty deposits of dimpled skin that can appear on even the most fabulously thin body.
"That's because cellulite is not a fat problem, it's a skin problem. It has nothing to do with what you weigh, or how much weight you lose," says Hollywood dermatologist Howard Murad, MD, author of The Cellulite Solution.
The fat that causes cellulite is not the same as the fat that takes us from a size 10 to a 14, experts say. That fat lies far below the skin, closer to our bones, and it is what the body burns as fuel for energy.
Cellulite, on the other hand, is made up of fat cells that reside within the skin. They can't be burned as fuel, says Murad, so dieting, exercise, even liposuction won't help.
Cellulite is a decidedly womanly problem, primarily targeting females over 35. Although doctors aren't sure why, many say hormones and anatomy are key.
"The best evidence for increased incidence in women is that it's related to hormonal changes, but also the anatomy of what's called 'septa' -- fibrous bands of tissue that surround fat cells in the skin to help keep them in place," says Bruce Katz, MD, medical director of Juva Skin and Laser Center in New York, and clinical professor of dermatology at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.

There are hundreds of sites I visit pretty regularly, but one site I visit every single day is Techmeme. Some of you may be regular visitors to the site as well because they track what's going on in the tech blogosphere. All it takes is a quick glance up and down the page and you've got yourself a great idea of what's going on and where the discussions are. It's been a pretty popular place to be since they launched back in 2005, and they've only grown in popularity. While people find the site useful, many have complained over the years that there is no search feature. That has meant finding stories from the past was near impossible.
The days of complaining are over because just yesterday they announced a new search feature. They posted about it on their blog, and the title was very fitting, "Techmeme listens: 32 months in the making, search arrives!" It sure has been a long time in the making, but it's here and they did a good job with it, making sure to include an Advanced search feature. I decided to give it a try so I used an advanced search method and narrowed my search based upon the source name. Into the search box I entered sourcename: "CyberNet News" and it pulled up articles from us that appeared on the site. I could have also narrowed the search based upon URL, date, author, and more.
According to the announcement, the basic search feature will return items that at one point appeared as a full headline on the site, and they'll appear in chronological order. Those headlines that appeared as a "discussion" aren't included – if you use the site, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
To access the search feature, just look for the search box at the top of techmeme.com or you can also go to techmeme.com/search.
Thanks to the search box, Techmeme has gotten 10 times more useful! Check it out…

New York (Jan. 31)
Observation of "Palestine Week" arranged under the auspices of the Friedlander Educational Conference is beginning tomorrow in Jewish Youth Institutions including such organizations as Young Judea, the League of Jewish Youth, Young People's Synagogues, Y.M.H.A.'s Y.W.H.A.'s, etc.
Every member of a Jewish institution or club is to be urged to provide the small sum necessary for planting a tree in his or her name in Palestine, thus contributing to the rehabilitation of the land. Another plan is to interest the Jewish Youth to provide the Chaluzim Palestine with such things as music records, books and athletic material. The Zionist Organization, the Keren Hayesod, and the Palestine Development Council are all interested in the work of the Conference.

Medical Definition of Focal dystonia due to blepharospasm
Focal dystonia due to blepharospasm: The involuntary forcible closure of the eyelid due to spasms. The first symptoms may be uncontrollable blinking. Only one eye may be affected initially, but eventually both eyes are usually involved. The spasms may leave the eyelids completely closed causing functional blindness even though the eyes beneath the lids and vision are normal. Following torticollis (spasm of the neck muscles), blepharospasm is the next most common form of focal dystonia. For more information about dystonias, see: Dystonia.

Asymmetric Fluctuations and the Third Moments in the Real Business Cycle Theory
This paper examines the third moments in actual and simulated business cycles. The main goal is to answer the question whether a business cycle model can generate the asymmetry observed in the quarterly post war data. The results indicate that for third moments, the RBC model does not fit the data as well as it does for second moments. It is also shown that transitory shock can be better than persistent shock in matching the third moment, which implies an implication for modeling strategy of real business cycles theory. [E32]

text: Anyone here familiar with Pacific West Arms (PWA)? I've got a line on a rather well-used PWA Commando for around the $500 mark. It's been carried a lot but hasn't had many rounds put through it. Ser # is 50xxx so that should put it as post-ban...not that it makes a difference in my area anyway. Is it worth picking up at that pricetag or would I be money ahead building with all new parts. Basically, I'm wanting another truck gun so the finish isn't that important as long as it hits what I aim it at. I'd probably use the carbine as-is for a while but I'll probably change out the upper for a 20" some day.

SWINDON Town's Wembley dream lay about the County Ground in tatters last night as Peterborough United stole into the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final in dramatic fashion.
Posh won a penalty shoot-out after the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and 3-3 on aggregate to break Town hearts and leave home fans wondering what might have been after the Robins led until the 75th minute through Alex Pritchard's strike.
A fine battling display in the first half had put Swindon in control and Town should have been another goal up after Dany N'Guessan was manhandled in the box only for referee Keith Stroud to wave the claims for a penalty away, but the hosts sat back on their advantage after the interval, inviting pressure from a direct but unconvincing Peterborough line-up.
Britt Assombalonga headed home the equaliser with 15 minutes left of the tie and in the shootout both Massimo Luongo and Tijane Reis failed to even test Posh keeper Bobby Olejnik. A bitter way to lose.
Mark Cooper made three changes to his starting line-up following the goalless draw with Colchester United on Friday night. Nathan Thompson's suspension led to Raphael Rossi Branco being restored to the Robins side, while Jacob Murphy and Yaser Kasim came in for the cup-tied Michael Smith and injured Nile Ranger.
The home side had the first sight of goal in the third minute. Neat build-up play down the right, involving Pritchard and Jacob Murphy, ended when Nathan Byrne scooped a shot over the Posh crossbar after Luongo had his effort blocked by Michael Bostwick.
Peterborough, who boasted a boisterous travelling contingent, came close two minutes later when Assombalonga rose well at the near post but the striker could only head Alcock's cross wide of Wes Foderingham's right-hand post.
The visitors' Congolese frontman was back in the thick of the action in the 11th minute. His savage, swinging effort from the top corner of the penalty area dipped on Foderingham at the last second but the Swindon keeper managed to get down well low to his left to keep it out.
At the other end, Town were convinced they should have had a penalty when Alcock appeared to hack N'Guessan to the ground as the Frenchman ran past his marker onto Murphy's raking pass, but referee Keith Stroud was unmoved. It was a diabolical decision. Replays suggested Alcock was lucky not to be handed an early bath, let alone giving Swindon the chance to open the scoring from the spot.
Despite not getting the decision, Town were buoyed by their early superiority. Pritchard flashed a drive past Olejnik's right-hand post and then curled a wayward free-kick wide from 25 yards as the Robins prodded and probed without really testing the Peterborough goalkeeper.
Peterborough looked dangerous on the counter-attack, with Town's lop-sided back four allowing the Posh widemen plenty of space on the flanks. Jack Payne chipped an effort over the top in the 23rd minute after Tommy Rowe produced a spectacular air-kick on the edge of the area, before the lively Pritchard danced around two challenges and curled over.
With 13 minutes of the first half remaining, Swindon drew blood. It came in an ugly manner – Luongo managed to burrow his way into the penalty area and squeezed a cross into the six-yard box, Alcock slapped his clearance straight at N'Guessan and Pritchard mopped up the loose ball, taking a touch before firing beyond Olejnik.
It was just reward for a first-half performance full of heart and fight on the part of the home side.
Peterborough quickly had a couple of chances to strike and instant response but Alcock's miserable evening continued as he ballooned over from range, while Rowe nodded off target from Swanson's free-kick.
Posh were gaining a stranglehold on proceedings as the period drew to a close but it was Town who had the chances to double their lead, as Luongo flashed a first-time effort so wide that it looked like it was heading shopping in the Tesco's on Ocotal Way, and Pritchard saw a deflected effort bounce out for a corner.
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson tried to shift the game in his side's favour by swapping Kyle Vassell for on-loan Bournemouth striker Josh McQuoid but again it was Town who enjoyed a clear sight of goal.
In the 48th minute, Troy Archibald-Henville lifted a ball down the right channel, Nathaniel Knight-Percival and Olejnik left it to one another, N'Guessan nipped in and his shot skidded into touch off the left-hand upright.
It was the last chance of note for a good quarter-of-an-hour, as Swindon became more and more content to soak up Posh pressure and counter quickly, while their guests looked bewildered in the final third.
To add to the confusion, a series of bizarre decisions from referee Stroud had both sets of coaching staff holding their heads in their hands on the sidelines.
All the fluency, rhythm and energy of the first half seemed to have drained from Town's performance but Peterborough, struggling for ideas like a hungover inventor, didn't look as though they had the guile to breach the home side's defences.
And in the end it took a Swindon player to open up his own backline. Murphy, who had been brilliant on his full debut for the Robins, played an errant pass in his own penalty area, sliding in Bostwick down the right channel.
It was an invitation the Posh midfielder lapped up gleefully, dinking a perfect cross onto the forehead of Assombalonga, who headed powerfully beyond Foderingham. It was the goal which forced penalties.
In the shoot-out, Luongo and Tijane Reis both missed the target altogether and, despite Foderingham saving from Swanson, Posh skipper Rowe tucked in the spot-kick that sent the visitors to Wembley, This game can be so cruel.

Samsung Star II ReviewSamsung Star II
In the tradition of the first Samsung Star, which was great success with its 30 million units sold, the Samsung Star II is a cute and affordable touchscreen feature phone, with a few enhancements over its predecessor where it counts.
The original Star brought a 3.0-inch resistive touchscreen and Samsung's TouchWiz UI in its first version. Fast forward to 2011, and the second Star packs a lot more style in its white body, a 3.0-inch capacitive screen, and the third iteration of the TouchWiz UI. It is also positioned as an entry-level handset and to cut cost Samsung has passed on 3G, but the phone has Wi-Fi (which the original Star didn't) and EDGE.
Will that be enough to repeat the success of the original Samsung Star in the era of cheap Android phones? Read on to find out...
The Samsung Star II feels very light in the hand, at 3.32 oz (94g), and has a traditional rectangular shape. It is a bit chubby for the small size, at 0.49" (12.4 mm), but not unpleasantly so. The white body stands out on the background of other, mostly dark handsets, but if white isn't exactly your cup of tea, the handset is available in other colors as well, like black.
You can compare the Samsung Star II with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
As we said, the Star II comes with a 3.0-inch touchscreen, which is now capacitive in contrast to the resistive one on the original Star. With a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and 256K colors, the screen is slightly below average, but that's what you get for such a price. The visibility outside and the viewing angles are decent, though. Underneath the display are the call and end buttons, flanking the larger menu key in the center.
The silver sidelining of the Star II houses most of its other buttons. It includes the volume rocker on the left, while on the right are the microSD slot with support for up to 16GB of memory, and the power/lock key. The top part holds a microUSB charging slot with a protective lid, and the 3.5mm audio jack. Pretty standard, the only thing that really caught us is the microSD slot, which is comfortably positioned on the side and easily accessible without the need to remove the battery.
Nothing fancy on the white back cover. It houses the 3 megapixel fixed-focus camera, which lacks flash as well as any kind of protection. The loudspeaker is the final touch to the back of the phone.

This phone is a waiste of money when you're a gadgetfreak.
If you are only planning on using the phone for calling and taking pictures it's good,
but if you want to text, change the interface, add apps or use the internet
(or basicly - everything why you are paying for this phone) you shouldn't buy this phone.

This phone has been driving me crazy for the last 10 months and I feel surprisingly relieved to hear that everyone else is experiencing the same problems as me: "not enough memory" when trying to access internet, in spite of buying extra memory card, the facebook app doesn't seem to ever want to let me log in, too small a keypad, trying to insert any punctuation mark in sms is a finger marathon, problems viewing photo gallery (impossible to pause on individual photos), difficulties in typing on keypad when having to select options over the phone, sometimes the alarm clock just doesn't work,... need I go on. I do not recommend this phone, don't buy it. It is totally user-unfriendly.

Forest Whitaker has received his fair share of Oscar buzz for his turn in Lee Daniels' The Butler, playing an African-American man who works in the White House and dotes on his bosses, despite criticism from his politically aware son. In the wake of that success, Whitaker is moving on to Powell, where he'll play an African-American man who works in the White House and dotes on his bosses, despite criticism from a politically aware public.
The film concerns Colin Powell, George W. Bush's first Secretary of State, and will focus on that pivotal moment of Powell's 2002 speech to the U.N., in which he dramatically claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and sacrificed his sterling reputation in the service of Bush's desire to invade at all costs. Powell comes from screenwriter Ed Whitworth, who's made a cottage industry out of dramatizing recent history. As previously reported, Whitworth's Reykjavik, about the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit, has Michael Douglas and Christoph Waltz rumored for the leads. He also has an Mi6 drama in the works with Colin Firth (but not the one he's doing with Michael Caine), and a still-under-wraps project about the Arab Spring. So don't bother watching CNN now, when you can just get this guy's boxed set in a few years and catch up over a weekend.

Shawn Johnson Faces Down Her Stalker
Shawn Johnson is one tough cookie. She impressed us in the 2008 Olympics with her badass gymnastics skills and again when she won "Dancing with the Stars" season 8. But yesterday, we truly had to give it to her for getting up on the witness stand to testify against her stalker, the uber creepy Robert O'Ryan. This engineer believes that Shawn was communicating telepathically with him during the 2008 Olympics. He believed that Shawn loved him and that they would have a child together. When she was on "DWTS," he drove cross-country from Florida and scaled a fence at CBS studios to try to get to Shawn. When police searched his car, they found a shotgun, a hand gun, a knife, plus zip ties and other cords, which he presumably was planning to tie Shawn up with. He also had love letters he'd written to her, a pile of clippings about her, and a map to her home. Fr. Ea. Ky.Sitting not far from O'Ryan, Shawn remained incredibly composed on the witness stand and avoided making eye contact with him. "He was a stranger to me. To see somebody had that kind of obsession, it made me really scared," she said. She said that after hearing about the incident, she strongly considered pulling out of "DWTS," but instead hired a bodyguard. Her agent, Sheryl Shade, testified that Shawn was so terrified that she began sleeping in Shade's bed to avoid being alone at night.
O'Ryan is on trial for felony stalking and commercial burglary—rather than a jury, a judge will be deciding his fate. Here's hoping he gets a seriously long time in jail. And I know it just doesn't work this way with people with serious mental illness, but here's hoping O'Ryan heard yesterday that Shawn is not at all in love with him and that he has terrorized her.

Poker champion Annie Duke is going all in for Bridges Academy, the Studio City school serving gifted and highly-gifted students who also have learning differences.
Duke is hosting the "All In For Charity" Poker Tournament April 16 at the Beverly Garland Hotel in North Hollywood. All proceeds will fund research, training, financial aid and scholarship opportunities for these "twice-exceptional" (2e) students.
Philanthropy is nothing new for Annie Duke. She has used her renowned poker skills and numerous contacts in the professional poker world and beyond to raise money for Ante Up For Africa, Enough Project, Head To Hollywood, Not On Our Watch, Women's Sports Foundation, Refugees International, After School All Stars, 1736 Family Crisis Center and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, among others. She also sits on the board of directors of Decision Education Foundation, an organization created in 2001 by educators, decision scientists and management consultants with a passion for education and a commitment to bringing decision education to today's youth.
Annie is a World Series of Poker Bracelet Winner, National Heads Up Poker Champion and Teacher at the WSOP Poker Academy as well as a published author. She has appeared on television programs including The Colbert Report, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Deal or No Deal and Celebrity Apprentice.
This is an exciting time for Bridges Academy. The school, grades 5-12, has purchased the Studio City campus it has been sharing since 2005. The campus was built in the late 1940s as Our Lady of Corvallis Catholic Girls School and was purchased in 1980 by Osaka Sangyo University of Japan. Bridges began renting space when it outgrew its previous facility in Sherman Oaks. The property is on 3.5 acres and includes a two-story classroom building, smaller two-story classroom/office building, gym-cafeteria complex, 120-bed dormitory, full-service kitchen, grounds and ample parking. Not only will the campus become Bridges Academy's permanent home, but it will also serve as an institute for 2e research, training, conferences, seminars, workshops and a resource center for parents and professionals, including summer programs. Proceeds from Annie's event will also support the institute.
Bridges is co-hosting the annual (and first international) conference of the Association for Educating Gifted Underachieving Students (AEGUS) in Hawaii later this month. Educators, professionals and parents from the mainland, Hawaii, Australia and Japan will be in attendance. Bridges also created and spearheads JamFest, a music festival involving several area high school musicians, the proceeds of which go to MusiCares, the philanthropic arm of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences — the Grammys. The 2011 fifth annual event took place March 6 at the Roxy in Hollywood.

I'm born and raised in Houston, but I'm a Cowboys fan. Texans fans that are reading this, please slowly put the knife down... I just moved on when the Oilers deserted us and I couldn't abandon my new team when the Texans appeared. On the other hand, I am an Astros, Rockets and Aggies fan so I do love my hometown teams. Yes, Aggies, so Longhorns fans, please also put down the knives... can't we all just get along?
I'd have to say I'm a very simplistic person, it doesn't take very much to make me happy and I'm definitely not the ostentatious or gaudy type, i.e. no Ed Hardy or Affliction shirts, no big diamond chain or earrings, no spray tans or greased up hair. If you've already seen my profile picture, the last two are probably shocking.
I've had some people say I look like T.I. and my sister thinks I look like Pharrell from N.E.R.D. I think they're all wrong, but that's just me. What do you think?
Movies: While I prefer a comedy or action movie over probably anything else (I'm a guy, surprised?), I'd say my list of memorable favorites is actually pretty diverse: Friday, Half Baked, Equilibrium, Harold & Kumar, Identity, Little Miss Sunshine, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Office Space, Seven Pounds, Slumdog Millionaire, Spanglish, The Departed, The Hangover, The Pursuit of Happyness, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Wall-E, Unthinkable, 8 Mile, Despicable Me, Eurotrip, How High, Safe House, Step Brothers, The Pursuit Of Happyness, The Intouchables
TV Shows: The Wire, Breaking Bad. I'd honestly say that you could stop there when it comes to shows because those, in my opinion, are the best TV shows hands down that I've ever watched. Other shows that I would give "honorable mention", or are working to attain that level of greatness, would be: 30 Rock, Archer, Arrested Development, Californication, Community, Eastbound & Down, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louie, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Big Bang Theory, Boondocks, The Newsroom, The Office (before Steve Carell left), Workaholics, American Dad, South Park, Family Guy, Squidbillies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Futurama, King of the Hill and probably some others that I'm not thinking of at the moment. Well, ESPN, but that goes without saying.
Music: Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye, Young Jeezy, Eminem, Lloyd Banks, Wiz Khalifa, Fabolous, Ludacris, Chamillionaire, Lil' Wayne, Childish Gambino, Staind, Coldplay, My Chemical Romance, Ne-Yo, Lupe Fiasco, Drake, Kid CuDi, Talib Kweli, Linkin Park, The Roots, N.E.R.D., Curren$y, Mac Miller, Justin Timberlake, Lloyd, Robin Thicke, Flying Lotus, Maroon 5, Rage Against The Machine, Fall Out Boy, Gym Class Heroes, Foo Fighters, System Of A Down, John Mayer, Deadmau5, Macklemore... I could go on forever. Basically, anything except country... sorry, but I just can't get into it. And yeah, I know that's also surprising considering I went to Texas A&M...
Food: The answer that went on the sidebar pretty much epitomizes my appetite with food, "Mostly anything". Steak, italian, burgers, BBQ, catfish, chicken, sushi... I'll be back, I'm hungry now. Feel free to leave me a message after the beep.

When it came to choosing a new harness I had originally overlooked this one. I was looking for something that was going to be used primarily for glacier travel, so it needed to be adjustable to fit under clothing and light. After seeing this harness firsthand I realized that with the single rigid tie in point, feeding rope or a carabiner through was going to be easy with gloves or numb hands. Over the last six months I have found that the fit is great and adjustment is a breeze. The rubber strap retentions work great even with minimal dexterity in your hands. Bottom line, if you want a simple harness and you don't need to carry a lot of gear on loops, this is a great choice.

School supplies aren't just for school. Consider these ways to make the most of back to school sales and BTS clearance racks.
Now is the season to pick up some great deals on school and office supplies. As you know, places like Walmart and Target have been hawking their wares for months. The back to school season seems to begin as early as July 5.
Now that kids are actually in school, the "sales" are mostly over, but the deals are still to be had. My mom regularly snatches up bags and bags of supplies on clearance about this time.
I've found backpacks for a couple bucks each that I've used for our kids' Go-Bags. I'm also hoarding different items to help us on our monthlong trip to France this fall.
Clearly, you don't have to use school supplies just for school. With some clever thinking you can repurpose those items for gifts and other household uses. Check out these ideas:
1. Make decorative pens.
Bic pens can be transformed into flower pens which make great gifts for teachers and friends.
2. Build a household notebook.
With binders and copy paper and these free printables or my ebook Organizing Life as MOM, you can create a household notebook for yourself or as a housewarming gift for a friend. Read how to set up your own home management notebook for more inspiration.
3. Make decorative journals.
Simple composition books can get new life as journals when you decorate them. My sister gave these as Christmas gifts last year with a coffee gift card and a beautiful fabric coffee sleeve. The makings of a great Saturday Morning Off.
4. Use crayons as gifts.
Crayons are a dime a dozen right now — literally. Stock up for your own children, but also lay in a supply for your gift cupboard. Crayons make a great birthday bag filler or part of a coloring kit. Repurpose your old crayons into Muffin Tin Crayons.
5. Stock up on stocking stuffers.
Crayons, pencils, erasers and little notebooks make great stocking stuffers. Plan ahead for Christmas and avoid the crunch — for time and money — later.
6. Give them away.
Check with your local homeless shelter or foster children's care board. Kids who live transient lifestyles, obviously through no fault of their own, still need school supplies. Find out what your community's needs are and how you can help fill some of them. A backpack loaded with extra supplies can help one more kid feel better about his day at school.
7. Send them away.
Likewise, plan ahead for "Love in a Shoebox" and other similar ministries where collections are taken of items to send to children in Third World Countries. Often times the simplest things, like a Hello Kitty pencil, can brighten the lives of children. Read Carrie's tutorial on the best ways to pack for Operation Christmas Child.
Got another great use for school and office supplies? I'd love to hear it!
PS: This post was originally posted on July 21, 2009. Please take a minute to read the comments. Readers suggested some more wonderful ideas. I was so blessed by everyone's thoughtfulness. Thank you!

text: BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Evidence is building that the overheated stock market is ready to take a breather, so investors may want to hunker down with high-quality, but undervalued, stocks. They may be hurt less in the event of a market tumble and have more upside in a subsequent rebound.S&P Capital IQ's chief equity strategist, Sam Stovall, said Monday that among the indictors that a correction is nigh is that the S&P 500's roughly 29% gain of the past six months exceeds the 24% average in the severe corrections or mild bear markets since 1945, and it is approaching the 32%, 12-month average increase seen in such recoveries. S&P strategist Mark Arbeter predicts that the S&P 500 "could surrender 3% to 5% in a mild pullback," which would mean a decline to its 50-day moving average of around 1,370, or even to its 65-day average near 1,350, "before resuming its upward trajectory." The S&P is at 1,385 now. With that in mind, I screened the Morningstar database of its highest-rated stocks (five-star ratings) to find which among them are trading at the biggest discount to Morningstar's "fair value" estimate. The premise of this approach is that these high-quality stocks are less volatile and have lots of potential upside when a rising tide lifts all the boats. Morningstar analysts assign fair-value targets based on discounted cash-flow models. Their model assumes that the stock's value is equal to the total of the free cash flows the company is expected to generate in the future, discounted back to the present. It is not the same metric used by Wall Street firm's sell-side analysts to determine a 12-month price target, as they typically use their earnings estimates and apply a predetermined ratio to come up with a price-to-earnings price, coupled with other market factors. "Fair values are meant to provide an estimate of what the stock is worth, irrespective of what investors are willing to pay for it," says Morningstar, and therefore they tend to be lower since the approach is more conservative. The stocks I highlight below have price-to-fair-value ratios below 50%, which means Morningstar's analysts expect that these stocks are now trading at less than half their value, per the fair value metric. Here are 10 of Morningstar's five-star stocks with the biggest discount to the firm's fair-value estimate listed in order of highest to lowest discount:

Did Huckelberry earn a 15% raise?
Re: the Feb. 13 article "Workers ask county for 1st pay raise in five years."
A recent Star article discussed two items regarding compensation of Pima County employees and the Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry. Apparently, it has been five years since most employees have received a raise.
On the other hand, the Pima County Board of Supervisors (most likely in executive session) OK'd an annual raise of about $35,000 (approximately 15 percent) for Huckelberry.
What did the county administrator do to deserve this very generous raise? Did he do something over and above his job requirements? Did he save taxpayers extra sums of monies?
Hopefully, he didn't get this raise just because he has warmed the same seat for a number of years.
Two board members expressed "sympathy" and the "need for fair compensation."
Not only do the employees deserve honest answers, so do the taxpayers. It's their job, and it's our money. Let's hear from you board members.

Star is no longer a primary news source
Well, I guess it's official - the Arizona Daily Star no longer considers itself a primary source of news. The print edition, anyway.
I still get the paper delivered. And I don't have a smartphone or watch much news on TV. I still actually rely on the newspaper.
Recently, two big stories broke one day, with the Star's first print article the next day, and they both read like continuing stories.
I got confused reading the story about the ex-cop in L.A. because of references to things (manifesto?) that weren't explained. The same thing with the announcement by Pope Benedict. The paper was all about the aftermath and nothing about the actual event.
I guess the Star now assumes everyone already knows everything from other sources.
I keep debating about whether to cancel my subscription - but if the Star continues to make itself less and less relevant, it will make that decision for me.

What US needs is a Green New Deal
With all the gnashing of teeth about the upcoming sequestration and the devastation it will wreak on our fragile economy, it needs to be remembered that it was bipartisan legislation, backed by tea party Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats and signed by President Obama.
The vote for sequestration was 74-26 in the Senate, with 95 House Democrats voting for it and 95 against, while 174 Republicans voted for it and 66 against. All those voting for it voted against the interests of the American people, pure and simple.
While the media carried extensive coverage of Obama's State of the Union speech and Sen. Marco Rubio's drink of water afterwards, no one paid any attention to the Green Party response.
Dr. Jill Stein called for what America really needs, a Green New Deal: Breaking up the big banks and regulating the gang that created this mess, a full employment program based on building a renewable-energy, green economy and getting America back to work with the creation of 16 million jobs, rebuilding our democracy and ending the Bush-Obama costly, unwinnable wars.
Imagine, the real possibility of peace and prosperity again.

TUSD is trying hard to rectify segregation
Re: the Feb. 15 guest column "TUSD has yet to remedy its disgraceful history of segregation."
Sylvia Campoy and Rubin Salter Jr. maintain that the Tucson Unified School District has not done enough to comply with the U.S. District Court to efficiently integrate our schools.
I am a retired TUSD teacher and volunteer at an elementary school in the district, and I have seen the efforts on the part of the district to integrate our schools. Programs such as English Language Learners and English as a Second Language, for example, work to provide a working knowledge of the English language for those who were not born speaking English.
These programs require the teachers involved to obtain special graduate training in these areas in addition to maintaining their regular teaching credentials.
At least point out that these programs are in place and an attempt is being made on the part of TUSD to rectify the segregation issue. Let's give credit where credit is due.

More money and hiring won't elevate PCC
Re: the Feb. 14 article "UA stacks up well on national score card."
So Pima Community College's graduation rate is a miserable 12 percent and its students "default on federal student loans within three years of entering repayment" at a rate nearly twice the national average.
This is deplorable. Where are the administrative, educator and entrance qualification standards, if indeed any even exist? This institution certainly doesn't need to add to its payroll two lobbyists (previously reported by the Arizona Daily Star) whose primary focus is to likely secure more taxpayer funding.
What instead is desperately needed are "career profile adjustments" for all those failing to educate at student and taxpayer expense. More money, more hiring, increasing compensation for those in charge at PCC - I think not.

We're booked on Celebrity Millenium , New Zealand to Sydney - departing Auckland 21 December. Has anyone been on a Christmas cruise before - i'm wondering what 'festive' entertainment, activities, meals etc are likely to be on offer - we are very excited , it's our first Christmas 'away' ever !!!!
Hi Annika and welcome to Cruise-Chat.
Christmas is a very festive time aboard a ship. There will be a big Christmas tree, probably in the atrium, and probably smaller trees in other locations. There will be traditional music going on, special entertainment, etc. You'll have a great time!
Hi Sandy
thanks for that - we're really looking forward to the cruise & hoping to meet lots of people. We're from West Australia, i'm guessing there will be a good 'mix' of nationalities on this cruise.
Another question - are Celebrity likely to have any 'theme' nights ( i'd like to be a little prepared & know what to take if so)- we were on a P&O cruise in January & they had a couple of these nights.
Am a little worried about some of the posts i've read re the Millenium , but am pretty sure it will be fine (we're not too easilly annoyed!)

London (Jan. 15)
The serious facts disclosed by Dr. Senator were not disputed, and consequently the Council had to face them. If they wanted a new Executive, they could have it at this meeting without a Congress, Mr. Harry Sacher said in the course of the general debate at the Actions Committee meeting, which centered mainly on the financial n and the question of the postponement of the Congress, according to the statement issued this evening by the Zionist Central Office.
Dr. Hexter referred to the financial situation, and read a cable from the American Zionists, urging the postponement of the Congress and the sending of a delegation to the United States.
Mr. Harsfeld, who opened the Debate, spoke with vigour about the need of intensified work for the settlement of workers in Palestine He was opposed, he said, to the holding of the Congress in February.
Mr. Simon Marks said that they had to take into account the position as presented by Dr. Senator. They were obliged to effect numerous economics, and for the next few months they must devote all their energies to the raising of funds. He was strongly opposed to the holding of the Congress in February.
Deputy Gruenbaum argued that the Zionist world was waiting for the Congress, and would be gravely disappointed if it were postponed. He believed that if Congress met it would be advantageous to the raising of funds. He thought that the indefiniteness of the political situation was in a large measure responsible for the shortage of funds.
Mr. Meer Grossman protested against the proposal to postpone the Congress. Dr. Nurok was also strongly opposed to deferring the Congress. He, too, dealt with the financial situation.
Dr. Hantke pointed out that apart from the United States the Keren Hayesod revenue during the past year had not decreased. Mr. Blumenfeld emphasised the importance of unity.
Mr. Twersky said that he strongly disapproved of the holding of the Congress next month.
Mr. Naiditsch, Dr. Goldstein and Mr. Goldbloom dwelt on the present difficult position, and spoke against the Congress being held next February. Mr. Szkolnik and Mr. Remez also demanded a postponement of the Congress.
Rabbi Berlin urged adherence to the present arrangements for holding the Congress in February, when he believed some measure of unity might be achieved, This was of paramount importance, he said, in view of the situation.
Dr. Tartakower deprecated the holding of Congress at a moment when there were more urgent needs. Dr. Bernstein said that the question of holding the Congress in February or later was not of vital importance. The main problem was the system of the present work in Palestin which he belived must be changed.
Dr. Goldmann viewed the holding of the Congress in February as an important step towards the alleviation of the financial situation Dr. Melzer demanded the postponement of the Congress.
Mr. Kaplansky formulated the reasons which prompted many of them to desire a postponement of the Congress. Dr. S. Levin criticised the Opposition, which, he said, had undermined the confidence of the Zionist masses. He saw no reason at all for the holding of a Congress in February.
After a number of personal declarations, the General Debate was closed at 1 a.m. No plenary session was held on Thursday, January 15th. the day being devoted to meetings of Commissions.

The Los Angeles County coroner releases the former Warrant lead singer's official cause of death nearly two months after he was found dead at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Rocker Jani Lane apparently died as a result of alcohol poisoning. Having completed its investigation over the former Warrant lead singer's death, the Los Angeles County coroner's office uncovered on Wednesday, October 5 that his official cause of death is "acute ethanol poisoning".
The rocker, who wrote the '80s glam rock band's hits "Cherry Pie" and "I Saw Red", was found dead at a hotel in Los Angeles on August 11. His body was discovered at the Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, California, and some sources said that a half-empty vodka bottle was found near his body along with prescribed medicine.
An initial autopsy performed on August 12 proved inconclusive. Jani's long-time manager Obi Steinman, however, believed that the singer never recovered from his alcoholism. "He lost his battle over alcohol," he said. "He was one of the great rock-and-roll frontmen and singers of all time. His music helped shape the '80s."

So what's new in Android 4.4? The changes in the visuals are there, but they are so very subtle you'd be forgiven to not notice them at all - there is a refreshing recoloring of some elements to white, but it's under the hood where most changes have happened.
Google has built-in printing into the system so you no longer have to rely on a third-party app. Wireless payments also appear in the menus, so we might hear more about this later this month. The third big new inclusion is support for Wireless screen casting via the Miracast standard built into the system.
When it comes to the actual software, Android 4.4 now comes with a wider set of Google apps. The new arrivals are Google's note taking app Keep and the cloud based office suite Drive.
The camera app in Android 4.4 has also been noticeably improved with new filters that remind us of Instagram and with a slider allowing you to select the output image quality.
All in all, KitKat seems to be another gradual change in Android with subtle changes rather than a radical redesign. Google itself has said that with Android 4.4 the goal is "to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody." Still, if you are curious about how it looks, take a look at the screenshots right below.

It's simple, and free.
For the Romans, the center of the town with its definite axis between the religious and the civic centers, and an open space between them, was symbolic of the nature of the state. In their colonies abroad, the Romans' "repertory of institutional architecture," played a major role in their "civilizing mission and [was] a sure means of establishing Roman visibility." The selection of architectural styles for public buildings was, therefore, extremely important. The Romans wished to refer to the glorious Greek past (and to their own ability to surpass it) while also developing an architectural iconography more suited to their own purposes. In turning from the exteriority of Greek architecture, as exemplified by the openness of the Parthenon, the Romans looked inward and created the monolithic, centered interiors that came to characterize Roman architecture. They could, thereby, have buildings that were centered, reflecting the centralized nature of the empire, and which, by maintaining at least the decorative aspects of Greek design, also referred to the idealized past.
Most aspects of Greek architectural tradition underwent considerable changes in being adapted by the Romans. The domestic architecture uncovered at the buried city of Pompeii, which was always a crossroads between Greek and Roman influences, offers some of the clearest examples of the differences between Roman and Greek architecture. Here the earliest examples can be found of the Roman "feeling for inwardness" as well as for the highly regimented composition that distinguishes Roman layouts from even the most formal of Greek or Hellenistic designs. Roman houses, for example, were constructed as rectangles with rigid central axes and when the Greek peristyles were added to the houses they were merely added onto the axes and, instead of being paved, they became the back kitchen gardens.
This idea of bringing nature inside was also peculiar to the Romans. The G...

ATLANTA - Gov. Nathan Deal is asking Georgia teenagers for advice on how to reduce crashes among the state's youngest drivers.
Deal announced Monday he's forming a Governor's Commission on Teen Driving, an advisory panel that will include at least 15 members between the ages of 15 and 19.
The commission, which will be overseen by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, will prepare reports to the governor outlining ideas for a statewide strategy to educate teen drivers on hazards such as drunken driving and texting and driving.
Harris Blackburn, director of the highway safety office, says: "No one can advise our state on how to reach teenagers better than teenagers."
The deadline for teen drivers to apply to serve on the commission is Sept. 20.

Jungle worms is a fictional disease. Sam describes them as "these scuzzy little parasites that set up camp in your guts." The symptoms of jungle worms are: dry mouth, chills, moaning, groaning and vomiting. Carly, Sams' mom and Harry Styles have had jungle worms. Carly got them from a jungle in which she spent time in while on her vacation that she just arrived home from, Sam's mom got them from using some foreign guys' toothbrush and Harry Styles got jungle worms from drinking from Carly's water bottle while she was still contagious.
Jungle worms were only mentioned in iGo One Direction.

BRUSSELS – The threat last month of a downgrade of the United States' federal debt by the rating agency Standard and Poor's was in a way merely a confirmation of what market participants and observers already knew: US fiscal policy is unsustainable. But the symbolic significance of S&P's assessment was huge, for it underscored an inescapable truth: worries about public debt that were once confined to a few delinquent countries are now bearing down on the world's biggest and richest economies.
The message is loud and clear: if the quality of US federal bonds, traditionally the beacon of financial safety, can be questioned, no country is immune from attack. Throughout the advanced world, the question for governments now is not whether it is time to reduce deficits, but how fast, how far, and by what means.
In Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is portrayed as a tough deficit cutter. But while she likes to raise her voice, she acts with caution: today's German fiscal adjustment is, in reality, very gradual. The countries facing the fiercest budget battles are, instead, the United Kingdom and the US, where fiscal deficits exceeded 10% of GDP in 2010.
In London, Prime Minister David Cameron is on the offensive. Upon assuming office, he entrusted budgetary forecasting to a new, independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), thus forfeiting any opportunity for sleight-of-hand. He then announced a bold consolidation program to cut the cyclically adjusted deficit by 1.5% of GDP per year, thereby targeting a deficit of 3.5% of GDP in 2013.

Photos of Patrick Dempsey With a Beard Running Errands in LA
Patrick's in the Race at Tonight's People's Choice Awards
Patrick Dempsey sported a scruffy beard and wet hair yesterday while running errands in LA. Grey's Anatomy is up for multiple honors at tonight's People's Choice Awards, including a Best Actor in a TV Drama nod for Patrick himself. The cast has gone through its share of changes this year, but one of their newest members is sticking around — former Lipstick Jungle star Kim Raver recently signed on for the rest of their season. Whether he wins or not, Patrick evidently can't get enough competition, as he's also heading off to Daytona, FL this week to race in the Rolex 24.

Fried Bee Hoon with Stewed Pork
Get this recipe on the next page >>
Update (Jan 2014): First posted in Feb 2009, now updated with new photos and improved recipe
This one-dish meal brings back fond memory of my childhood. I used to wolf down several plates in a day whenever my mum cooked this dish! This homely dish has a bit of everything – carbs, vegetables and meat making it a balanced one-dish meal. Commonly known as "bee hoon" (米粉) in Singapore, rice vermicelli are thin noodles made from rice.

It is also known as bihun, rice noodles or rice sticks. It keeps pretty well for a few hours without becoming soggy, hence I usually cook more for two meals. You can also keep it warm in the rice cooker throughout the day.

I've never had that canned stewed pork. I'll look out for it! I love fried beehoon, great with red chili!

This looks very good! I will be making this for my lunch, yummers!
Oh I love bee hoon very much. I haven't made it for such a long time. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Wiffy,
The texture and flavors look fantastic.
Long time I didn't cook rice vermicelli and the combo with stewed pork must be delicious :D
All the best!
Oh boy, would I love to dive into that dish right now!

This is our favorite way of making bee hoon – with canned stewed pork (or canned stewed pork leg)! yummy and comforting! :)
Yummm.. just love bee hoon!
Stew pork in canned? Never seen it before…

If confirmed, Lew faces daunting tasks at Treasury
WASHINGTON — The to-do list that awaits Jacob Lew, President Obama's choice to be Treasury secretary, is voluminous.
Bridge disputes in Congress on taxes and spending. Shrink budget deficits. Manage tense economic ties with China. Press Europe to reduce debts while fighting a recession. Defend the U.S. financial overhaul law. Prevent a global currency war.
And those are just the obvious challenges.
Lew's job isn't quite as perilous as the one that greeted the now-departed Timothy Geithner four years ago. As Treasury secretary, Geithner had to help stabilize a teetering banking system from the worst financial crisis since the 1930s and help lift the economy out of a deep recession.
The economy and banking system are far healthier now. But if the Senate backs Lew's nomination after a committee hearing Wednesday, he likely would have to marshal all his strengths as a budget specialist and perhaps overcome inexperience in some areas to achieve significant success.
The federal budget is sure to preoccupy Lew's early weeks, and it's likely to dominate his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. Republicans are expected to use the hearing to stress their differences with the administration over deficits and taxes.
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the panel's top Republican, said he would press Lew on "what kind of plan the Obama administration has to confront our skyrocketing debt and our broken entitlement programs."
Lew, 57, likely will be well prepared to spar over taxes and spending. He twice served as a White House budget director — once during the Clinton administration and once under Obama before becoming White House chief of staff.
Going back to his days as an aide to House Speaker Tip O'Neill, D-Mass., in the early 1980s, Lew has three decades of experience at the top levels of Washington policy-making.
He isn't expected to have trouble winning Senate confirmation, despite the likely arguments from Republicans that the administration isn't doing enough to contain such "entitlement" programs as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security; the programs' costs are straining the federal budget.
After the hearing Wednesday, committee members will have two days to send questions to Lew to answer before they vote. The full Senate could vote on the nomination later this month.
If confirmed, Lew would get a little time before his first budget challenge — the March 1 date when deep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs will kick in unless Congress and the administration agree on some way to avert them.
The second challenge would come March 27, when much of the government would shut down if Congress doesn't extend a temporary measure to authorize funding. And the nation's borrowing limit must be raised by May 18 or the government could default on its debts.
Few are optimistic that negotiators will strike a "grand bargain" to simultaneously resolve the budget rifts, avoid slashing spending too much for now and shrink the deficit over the long run.
"You will get little deals along the way but not much else," said Stanley Collender, a budget expert at Qorvis Communications. "I don't see them having the time or the inclination to do a grand bargain."

Editor's note: The following Practice Builder is based on an interview with Gary Gibson, dairy producer from Ogden, Utah.
What does Ron Gibson look for in a nutritionist?
As a dairyman, he must deal with a number of issues on an everyday basis. So, he wants someone who understands the operation and the problems that can occur ― basically, someone who can step into his shoes, so to speak.
"It's easy for a nutritionist to live in his own little world" and come up with the perfect ration, Gibson says. But, in the real world, there are a number of constraints that can alter the outcome, such as how the ration is being mixed and delivered to the cows.
Nutritionists need to help find the bottlenecks, Gibson says. That, in turn, can help relieve some of the load on the producer.
"I like it when people take these things off my shoulders," he says.
Again, it boils down to the nutritionist's familiarity with the dairy.
"If the nutritionist has a relationship with the feeder, then the time he has to spend with me is cut in half," Gibson says.
Gibson runs a 1,500-cow operation near Ogden, Utah.

Powers Boothe and Ryan Phillippe – My First Shreveport "Star-Sighting"
So many movies have been filmed here in the Shreveport area in the last couple of years, and I had NOT ONE random celebrity sighting — until this past Saturday night. I was at Mojo's to see several friends' bands play, when a friend told me some famous folks walked to the upstairs area, where they play all dance music. So I went up to investigate…and I was quite "star-struck"…not by Ryan Phillippe — who had this "thug-prep" look going on and was surrounded by enamored women — but by his much older counterpart — Powers Boothe.
I will admit, I didn't know the name before that night…but as soon as I saw his face, I knew I'd seen him in a bazillion shows and movies before. What did I remember him from?? The movie "Tombstone," in which he played Curly Bill Stinson. That is still one of my favorite movies off all time…and he was AWESOME in it! He played the bad-guy part all too well. Fortunately, he's not that mean in real life.
I got a little brave…and idiotic, actually. I walked up to Ryan and told him I just wanted to say hi and welcome to Shreveport (was NOT brave enough to ask him if I could take a pic of him!) But I DID ask Mr. Boothe if he would mind taking a picture WITH me…which, as you can see, he did.
If they even remember me at ALL, I hope neither one of them thinks I'm a huge dork, because I'm feeling like one today. But at least I wasn't bugging them all evening. I said what I wanted to say…and left them alone…which is exactly what I think they prefer.

It's a common misconception that eating healthy foods is too expensive for the average Joe. You CAN afford to eat healthy foods on a budget. In fact, there are many ways to eat well without spending a fortune. Don't sell yourself short by settling for over-processed, empty calories all the time. Instead, incorporate healthy food options into your lifestyle in a way that's easy on your wallet and your waistline.
Investing in better quality food now means lowering your chances of long-term health problems (and expensive medical bills) in the future. Perhaps stopping by a fast food joint a couple days of week seems like the cheapest option, but the long term health implications of that decision can be dangerous and costly.
Consider these tips to eat healthy foods without spending a lot of dough:
Stay Local
Scout out farmers markets for healthy bargains. Ask questions to find out where your food comes from and relish in the opportunity to support the local economy. For the best deals, shop often, inquire about purchasing in bulk, and keep a lookout for end of the day specials.
Eat Seasonally
This is a win-win. Seasonal items taste better and tend to be less expensive!
Buy in Bulk
Purchasing healthy food options in bulk means you get a lower price per quantity ratio. Stock up on items with long shelf lives such as: nuts,pasta, grain, and dried fruit and beans. If you're concerned about accumulating too much food, shop with a friend to split bulk purchases and expenses.
Grow Your Own
Start a garden. For the cost of roughly twenty dollars, you can create a well-stocked garden that will offer you a year- round produce supply. This is also a great way to teach kids about healthy foods and get them involved in the growing process! Don't let gardening intimidate you. Start small by planting lettuce, carrots, radishes and beets, which are among the easiest veggies to grow.
Think Frozen
Frozen fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients for less money. Freeze your own produce to preserve healthy foods and reheat them for quick, easy meals.
Consider a Community Agriculture Program
Join a community agriculture program so that fresh produce arrives at your doorstep. For a small fee, you can experience different types of seasonal vegetables and avoid the hassle of shopping for them yourself.

sabic decides against participating in osos petrochemicals project
This refers to a statement issued by the Saudi Basic Industries Company (SABIC) on January 15, 2008, announcing the signing of a memorandum of understanding on an initial study to update the economic feasibility for entering as partner in OSOS petrochemicals project at Yanbu Industrial City. SABIC would like to clarify that after several negotiations, the parties did not reach a final agreement on this project, and therefore SABIC has decided against participating in this project.
About SABIC
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) is one of the world's 10 largest petrochemicals manufacturers. The company is among the world's market leaders in the production of polyethylene, polypropylene and other advanced thermoplastics, glycols, methanol and fertilizers.
SABIC's profit rose to a record SR 27 billion (US$ 7.2 billion) in 2007, a 33% increase over 2006. Sales revenues for 2007 totalled SR 126.2 billion (US$ 33.7 billion), the highest revenues achieved by the company since its inception. Total assets stood at SR 256 billion (US$ 68.3 billion) at the end of 2007.
SABIC operates six interlinked strategic business units: Basic Chemicals, Intermediates, Specialty Products, Polymers, Fertilizers and Metals. In 2007 SABIC Innovative Plastics was launched as a global manufacturer and supplier of highly engineered thermoplastics. SABIC has significant research resources and has 16 dedicated Research and Technology and application centers in the Middle East, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company operates in more than 45 countries across the world with over 31,000 employees worldwide.
In Saudi Arabia, the company has 20 world-scale complexes and 19 of them are located in the industrial cities of Al-Jubail and Yanbu. Some of these complexes are operated with multi-national joint venture partners such as ExxonMobil, Shell and Mitsubishi Chemicals. Elsewhere, SABIC manufactures on a global scale in more than 45 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. SABIC's overall production has increased from 27 million metric tons in 2001 to 55 million metric tons in 2007.
Headquartered in Riyadh, SABIC was founded in 1976 when the Saudi Arabian Government decided to use the hydrocarbon gases associated with its oil production as the principal feedstock for production of chemicals, polymers and fertilizers. The Saudi Arabian Government owns 70 percent of SABIC shares with the remaining 30 percent held by private investors in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Kovacevic: Crosby flying, but this is just takeoff
Sidney Crosby has another level.
That's not a criticism. And it'll sound completely crazy on a Sunday night when the captain carried the Penguins with two goals and the sweetest assist to set down the Lightning, 5-3, at Consol Energy Center.
The Kid was sensational. He was skating on clouds out there.
"Flying," was Paul Martin's term.
"Outstanding," Pascal Dupuis called him.
Crosby's been strong all along, actually. And he'll need to be that much stronger given the word after the game that Evgeni Malkin was diagnosed with a concussion and won't make the upcoming three-game road trip.
But that should be fine with Crosby because there is more.
He has another level, another gear, another ceiling to smash.
He knows it, too.
"Yeah, for sure," Crosby said after this one. "I think there are still points where the timing, the bouncing of the pucks, it's a matter of getting sharper. But I think if the work ethic is there, that stuff will come."
Right. Future tense. As in, it isn't there yet.
Let's be honest: There's been this great unspoken, this terrible taboo that, however well Crosby does, we don't compare it to what we saw before the crash at the Winter Classic, before the concussion that cost him a year-plus of his career. We recall that scintillating spell of 32 goals and 34 assists in 41 games, that total dominance every time on the boards, but we set it aside as if that was some other Crosby.
Why, exactly, is that?
What's missing?
He's one point off the NHL scoring lead, right behind Tampa Bay's superb Steven Stamkos, who gallantly held the edge here Sunday. He's getting the best of goaltenders, as he did to poor Anders Lindback with that short-side, top-shelf special in the opening 76 seconds. He's setting up teammates with saucer specials like the one that brought Beau Bennett's first NHL goal. He's forechecking, backchecking, bodychecking and …
Well, OK, there is one thing.
Here's a stat I'll guess you haven't seen: Crosby has two power-play goals — out of his total of nine — through 19 games. Revisit all of his post-concussion action, and he's got four power-play goals in 47 games.
That's staggering.
Now, to repeat: That's not a criticism. Not close.
But to rewind to that scintillating spell again, Crosby scored 10 of those 32 goals on the power play. And he was doing so not just on the east-west that are the foundation of the power play now but also on deflections, rebounds and other stuff in tight. He wasn't so much a net-front guy as he was lurking off to the side, but he was there, and he was brilliant.
On a power play the other night against the Panthers, Crosby was stationed on the left side by the goal line. He couldn't shoot from there, couldn't even really set himself up for a pass. Not surprisingly, with each touch, he harmlessly flicked the puck back to the left point.
Worse, when other shots did get through, he stayed out on the perimeter.
I brought that up Sunday morning, and Crosby didn't hesitate with the response.
"Yeah, it's probably a tough place to be," he acknowledged with a smile. "You're looking to pass, but there's no angle. You're looking for deception, maybe."
That's how coach Dan Bylsma described that same sequence. He credited Crosby with distracting Florida defenseman Mike Weaver, who "was expecting 87 to be somewhere else," and thus created more room for Malkin and James Neal.
Nothing wrong with that in isolation, of course. As Bylsma correctly added, "We've had quite a bit of motion with the power play, including Sidney." Crosby has played below the goal line, on both half-walls and now on both points after an adjustment Sunday with Malkin out.
Moreover, there's no crime in having Crosby occasionally on the left side. He's right to stress, "I'm in a pretty good spot over there getting to feed two great shooters" in Malkin and Neal.
But the broader scope can't have Crosby as a decoy or even as a pure playmaker.
The Full Crosby, if you will, the one the Penguins must have to chase the Stanley Cup, is a scorer whose goal totals more closely approximate the assists. In 2009-10, his only 50-goal season, he had 51 plus 58 assists, roughly the same ratio as the greatest version of him, that one leading up to the injury.
He knows that, too.
"I'm starting to feel more comfortable shooting the puck," Crosby said. "It's putting yourself in an area to get off a kind of shot like I had on that goal. I need to focus on that more."
He's getting there, no doubt, and the buildup's been a blast. But know that there's more.
