OMNOVA Solutions Updates Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2013 Earnings Guidance
Nov 15, 2013, 08:00 ET from OMNOVA Solutions Inc.
FAIRLAWN, Ohio, Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OMNOVA Solutions Inc. (NYSE: OMN) today announced that it is updating earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year ending November 30, 2013.
The Company now expects reported GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 will be approximately $0.16 to $0.18 per diluted share, significantly above the $0.01 per diluted share for the fourth quarter a year ago, and slightly below the $0.19 per diluted share third quarter 2013 results.
The previously forecasted fourth quarter 2013 results are now expected to be negatively impacted by several items:
- Engineered Surfaces' Minhang, China coated fabrics facility experienced a major typhoon-related flood in early October. Through diligent efforts by OMNOVA's global associates, the plant is now operating again; however, it will take additional time to return to normalized manufacturing, inventory and sales levels. The Company is compiling its claim costs related to the flood and expects to receive insurance recovery proceeds in 2014. Customers are now being fully serviced, and the impact is not expected to continue into 2014.
- The Performance Chemicals operation in Ningbo, China, declared force majeure to customers of its antioxidant products after a sudden and unanticipated raw material supply disruption. The Company anticipates it will be manufacturing product for only two of the final seven weeks of the quarter, but alternative raw material supply is being secured and the Company does not believe that the impact will continue into 2014.
- Performance Chemicals' paper chemical volumes and margins are lower than expected, due to slower ramp-up of new volume wins and lower pricing. However, the Company has successfully negotiated a new two-year contract with its largest paper customer in advance of the contract expiration date.
- Raw material costs are expected to be higher in the fourth quarter – driven by a 27% increase in butadiene – and the Company does not believe these costs will be completely passed on to customers in the quarter.
- The Company now expects higher health care costs in the quarter due to higher claims in its employer-sponsored plan.
These items are expected to be partially offset by a one-time gain on the asset sale of a previously idled plant in China and projected lower effective tax rates in several countries.
Additionally, the Company now estimates that full-year 2013 Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations, which excludes certain items, will be in the range of $22.5 million to $24.5 million, compared to $28.5 million in 2012.
"While fourth quarter 2013 results are now expected to be lower than we previously forecasted, we expect them to be well above last year's fourth quarter. We continue to work on a number of key structural improvements in Performance Chemicals and Engineered Surfaces that should positively contribute to future results. Included in those improvements are the recent start-up of new specialty chemicals capacity in China, emulsion polymer and engineered surfaces manufacturing footprint consolidation in the U.S., and several exciting new product launches," said Kevin McMullen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
This Press Release includes a reference to Adjusted Income From Continuing Operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management reviews adjusted financial measures in assessing the performance of the business segments and in making decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the business segments. Management also believes that this adjusted information is useful for providing investors with an understanding of the Company's business and operating performance. In determining Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations, Management excludes income and losses resulting from certain items because Management does not consider such items to be reflective of normal operations. Such items include restructuring and severance, facility closures and production transfers (including related accelerated depreciation, asset impairment and transition costs), asset sales, natural disasters, raw material supply disruptions and other similar items. This adjusted financial measurement is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Income From Continuing Operations, Net Income, Diluted Earnings Per Share or other measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are five ETFs to watch this week.First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund ( FDN) More social media firms are preparing to follow in the footsteps of LinkedIn ( LNKD) and go public. Late last week the chatter centered on Groupon and Pandora after the two had announced their IPO valuations. Facebook and Zynga were also in the news late last week following reports that Will Danoff, the manager of the Fidelity Contrafund ( FCNTX), had acquired a stake in the two firms. As I've explained in the past, it's best to be on the sidelines with respect to these social media companies. FDN, which provides investors with exposure to well-established online entities, will likely benefit from the attention that has been focused on the Internet as a result of the chatter generated by these social media companies. iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund ( DVY) The recent round of rough economic data has begun to take a toll on investors. While the headwinds may seem daunting, I urge investors to avoid fleeing these markets and take appropriate steps to weather the turmoil. DVY boasts a number of qualities that make it well suited for the road ahead. On top of providing investors with exposure to a vast collection of top dividend-paying companies, the fund's sector breakdown is strongly weighted towards defensive names. Together, utilities, consumer staples and health care comprise over half of the fund's total assets. SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF ( XSD) On Thursday, National Semiconductor ( NSM) is slated to report its earnings. In addition to its quarterly report, however, it will also be interesting to see what the firm has to say about its acquisition by Texas Instruments ( TXN) for $6.5 billion. Investors looking for the most concentrated exposure to NSM should turn to XSD. The fund lists the firm as its top holding, accounting for over 3% of its index. iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund ( TLT) Government-sponsored debt fell under pressure last week after Moody's issued a warning of a possible downgrade. The ratings agency said that unless progress was made in the ongoing debt discussions, the U.S. could see its credit rating dip from the pristine Aaa. The firm warned the downgrade could come as a soon as next month.

Student charged with felony, accused of putting bodily fluids in mouthwash
Fri, 25 May 2012 04:08:15 GMT —
A senior from Saginaw Arts & Sciences Academy faces a felony charge after he allegedly put â??bodily fluidsâ?? in mouthwash and passed it out to students as a senior prank.
Seventeen-year-old Jordan Drake faces one count of adulterating or misbranding a food item, which carries a maximum of four years in prison.
Saginaw Police confirming to NBC25 that Drake mixed semen with mouthwash.
"The student went way too far. That was ridiculous. That was ridiculous," said Charlotte Cronkight.
"I don't think he should be in jail for it, but I think he should have some kind of punishment.â??
Police tell NBC25, Drake has a clean record. School records show he was a high achiever, winning science fair and quiz bowl awards.
Drake was suspended after an internal investigation.
A lesson, some parents say, that no prank is worth risking a student's good standing.
"When I was in high school, some classmates went over to the high school and spray-painted the building. They weren't able to walk. So I think that pranks are not allowed, you shouldn't do it, it's not worth it,â?? said Nikia Coleman.
A schools spokesperson says Drake has been suspended and will not walk during commencement ceremonies next Wednesday, but will be able to graduate. He was released on $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 5.

Melbourne, Mar 20 (ANI): Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden is set to woo his fan-base in India and attract Indian tourists to Queensland through a new campaign for Tourism and Events Queensland and Singapore Airlines, which is aiming to cash in on the increasingly lucrative Indian travel market.
The cricket legend will promote his native Queensland through the campaign, named 'Go Beyond', which will showcase the state's rainforests, beaches and the Great Barrier Reef to a potential audience of millions of daring Indians, the Courier Mail reports.
Expressing his excitement to be chosen to promote the campaign, Hayden said that he had the opportunity to travel the entire state and has also sampled the attractions of the holiday destinations of Queensland, adding that he is therefore delighted to show it all to prospective Indian tourists.
Tourism minister Jann Stuckey said that Hayden, who famously conquered India's spinners during a tour of the sub-continent in 2001, will have real star pulling power with the cricket-mad nation.
Stuckey further said that Hayden's passion about promoting Queensland as a world-class tourism and culinary destination is expected to rub off on his huge fan base in India.
The campaign will involve flight packages with Singapore Airlines' partner Virgin Australia, the report added. (ANI)

Listen carefully to the symphony of your Garden.
The music is divine; it is truly a Godsend
Each flower plays its unique solo melody.
The bushes and the Shrubs echo each melody antiphonally.
The birds sing in a majestic chorus.
They sing from morning to dusk.
The crickets also join in the music written by the Divine.
The chorus is so sublime.
The roses add such colour to the artistic performance.
The lilies and a soft breeze join together and perform a dance.
Anyone would be so impressed by the colour and artistry of this garden
You would say " Excuse me, I beg your pardon"
"Who is the Director and Producer of this masterpiece of light, colour and sound.
The reply would come. " God is the author, Producer, director, choreographer, seek him while he still may be found"

For the second day, parents in one of the largest school districts in the country are left scratching their heads and frustrated.
With 48 fewer buses out on routes this school year because of budget cuts, there were many reports of bus mix-ups on Monday. Those reports continued into Tuesday, the second day of school.
"It was just a mess for everybody," Laura Sokol-Meade, the mother of a Wake County student, said. "They have cut 53 or so buses and cut the budget and it has to come from somewhere, but there are just not enough buses for the number of students and this is a big problem."
The Wake County Public School System urges parents to call or submit a complaint online. Still, the complaint does little to relieve parents who are expecting to find their children on a bus but are left in the dark.
"We were scared, we didn't know where he was," said Sokol-Meade, whose son attends Olive Chapel Elementary School in Apex. "He's six years old; he doesn't always remember his phone number. They changed the bus routes — we didn't know if he was lost."
She added, "We couldn't believe we weren't getting phone calls."
Parent Amy Lee had a similar experience on Monday when she says her 9-year-old daughter was left at the school with at least 10 other kids who also rode the same bus to North Raleigh.
"The school called — it was about 10 past 5 p.m. — saying there are five buses that should be getting to the school soon to pick up the kids," Lee said. "I then get a call from my daughter on her teacher's cell phone at 5:45 saying, 'Mom, I'm still here, the bus still hasn't come."
Lee says she can understand bus stop confusion on the first day of school in some neighborhoods, but she can't understand not having buses at the school to pick up kids at the end of the day.
"In the seven years that my children have been in school, it's never been this bad," she said.
Sokol-Meade agreed, "We were just perplexed. We couldn't believe this was happening. And we were frustrated."
Wake Schools Superintendent Tony Tata said transportation staff, teachers and principals all stayed with the children to make sure they got home safely.
He says there are 900 buses, making 2059 runs, 25,000 bus stops, carrying about 80,000 students.
"We appreciate the contact and the communication, and keep letting us know until we get it right. And we're gonna keep working on this until we get it absolutely where it needs to be," Tata said.
He explained that Wake Schools eliminated between 40 and 60 buses in order to meet state efficiency standards so the district would not lose millions of dollars in transportation funding.
"We were probably ambitious in the number that we took off, the number of buses that we took off the road, and we will put back into the system what's needed, to make this right for the families of Wake County," Tata promised.
Until Wake Schools can remedy the problem, Sokol-Meade says she will not entrust her son to a school bus.
"We're not going to trust the bus until we know it's settled," Sokol-Meade said.
"[Our son]'s being picked up by his father today. He has a playdate tomorrow. I'm walking him home the next day. We'll see what next week will bring, but for the near future we are not taking the bus."

Deputies: 4 pickup loads of property left behind by protesters
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- The Douglas County Sheriff's office says they hauled away 4 pickup loads of items, including human waste, left behind by the White Castle Timber Sale protesters.
On Sunday, Sheriff's deputies removed the abandoned property and trash from BLM land about 14 miles out South Myrtle on White Rock Mountain.
The area was previously occupied by protesters of the sale.
Deputies say that the area had been left abandoned since about March 1.
They say they found abandoned tarps, rotting food, human waste and wooden platforms suspended from the trees by ropes.
Authorities say that due to the health and safety concerns, the abandoned items were collected and removed from the area.
The loads have been seized as evidence.
The people who left it behind could face offensive littering charges.
Officials say the case is still under investigation.

A popular New Year's tradition calls for making resolutions, most of which go unkept.
My resolution involves unraveling some of the mysterious curiosities associated with the world of fishing.
For example, a person who fishes for bass is called a bass fisherman; and a person who fishes for crappie is called a crappie fisherman, so logically a person who fishes for catfish should be called a catfish fisherman. But he's not. He's called a catfisherman possibly because the logical outcome doubles the word "fish" which sounds fishy to the human ear.
Our catfisherman has another problem. The other descriptions consist of two words, the species plus the term fisherman as in "bass fisherman," but "catfisherman" is composed as one word. Maybe "cat" isn't considered a species. If it's not a species, how can you go catfishing?
Moreover, my computer spelling checker doesn't recognize "catfisherman" as a word and suggests "cat fisherman" or "cat-fisherman." None of these possibilities are cited in The American Heritage College Dictionary. My collection of catfish books by catfish authorities say "catfisherman."
Another oddity is the position of the word "lake." It usually concludes the name of a body of water as in High Rock Lake, Tuckertown Lake and Badin Lake. So why is it Lake Norman instead of Norman Lake? Is Duke Energy free to bandy about the word "lake?" If so, the power company isn't alone. We also have Lake Wylie, Lake James and Lake Gaston.
Just as Lake Norman is never called Norman Lake, High Rock Lake is never called Lake High Rock unless it's a blunder. One tournament weigh-in official from a national organization has greeted the crowd at Tamarac Marina with "Isn't it a great day for fishing at beautiful Lake High Rock," a statement which produced snickers among the local gathering.
Some bodies of water are designated as reservoirs by name rather than as lakes although all impoundments are "reservoirs." John H. Kerr Reservoir is the official name of the mammoth Corps of Engineers lake straddling the N.C.-Va. line, and W. Kerr Scott Reservoir is situated near N. Wilkesboro.
John H. Kerr Reservoir is also called Kerr Reservoir or Kerr Lake or Buggs Island. The latter name is perplexing since my topo map has Buggs Island situated below Kerr Lake dam on Lake Gaston. If Buggs Island is at Gaston, why is it a nickname for Kerr?
Kerr also has two Mill creeks, one is situated on the Va. side of the lake near Ivy Hill and the other is the main creek at Satterwhite Point. Even though the lake covers about 50,000 acres, certainly the names for creeks couldn't have been exhausted.
As for Badin Lake, its official name is Narrows Reservoir, but the latter name is rarely used. It's always Badin, taking its "name" from the small town of Badin situated nearby.
One productive fishing area at Badin is known as Lanes Chapel. Or is it Lane's Chapel or Laney Chapel? All three have appeared in print. The Delorme Atlas & Gazetteer of N.C. has a Lanes Chapel Road nearby, so "Lanes Chapel" is probably correct.
On old Alcoa lake maps, the largest creek on Tuckertown Lake is Royals Creek, but on more recent maps, it's called Riles Creek. How did that transformation take place? What's more, Ellis Creek at Tuckertown won't ring a bell with many fishermen. It's known as Newsom's, named for the family that lives on the surrounding lakeside property. And it's "Newsom" without an "e," as a family member once emphatically said.
High Rock has its own creek-related quirks. Most fishermen say Tamarac Marina is located at Second Creek, although the creek's actual name is Dutch Second Creek. That raises another issue. Where is Dutch First Creek?
Descriptive terms for fishing lures can be troublesome. When your grandpa used an old wooden lure, he called it a plug. That term has virtually disappeared in favor of crankbait, even though some crankbaits are made of wood. Furthermore, "crankbaits" and "spinnerbaits" are viewed as one word, but "buzzbaits" still appear as "buzz baits" in many publications.
The jig-finesse worm combination called the Shaky-head jig is another rascal. It's been written as Shakey-head, Shakey head, Shaky head, Shaky-head, shaky-head and shakey-head. Which is correct? Whichever one the editor prefers.
Resolving these issues won't help anyone catch more fish, but their resolution might bring more sanity to the world of fishing.

Don't forget to send in your submission for the Daily Thunder MockTest. Winner gets an autographed copy of Strong and Handsome: The Royce Young Story.
Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News on the draft's swingmen: "Either way, it may well describe James Harden, the Arizona State shooting guard who may or may not be the second player chosen in Thursday night's NBA draft. He most certainly is in the conversation when it comes to figuring out who goes directly after Blake Griffin. "He's a ready-made, step-in NBA contributor," Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. And there just aren't many of those in this draft. In fact, Harden may be the only one at the swing positions – shooting guard and small forward."
Taylor Griffin was "drafted" to play with the Harlem Globetrotters. I really have no idea what that means or if he's actually a Globetrotter now, but that's what happened: "The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters today selected University of Oklahoma senior forward Taylor Griffin as the top pick in the team's third annual player draft, just days before his younger brother, and Sooners teammate, Blake Griffin is expected to become the number one overall selection of the upcoming NBA Draft on June 25."
NBA.com has put together a consensus mock draft using all of the most reputable sites: OKC is taking either Hasheem Thabeet or Ricky Rubio (tie). James Harden goes fifth the Washington.
Scott Howard-Cooper with info on the Grizzlies situation: "The growing league-wide sentiment is that the Grizzlies won't select Rubio, but by their own choice rather than being scared off. Adding size is simply more pressing and Conley still has promise. Trading out of the spot is possible. If not, Connecticut center Hasheem Thabeet is the logical choice. "That's who they're taking," a rival personnel boss said. "The rest is smoke. Bet on it."
It really sounds like the Grizzlies are taking Thabeet: "The Thunder weren't the only team to meet with Thabeet in LA this weekend. The Grizzlies, after being snubbed by Thabeet in their workout, flew to LA and met with him for three hours. Sources close to both Thabeet and the Grizzlies expect Memphis to take him at No. 2. If they don't, chances are they have a trade in the works."
Rubio worked out for the Kings: "Ricky Rubio's second Sacramento visit was much like his first, a covert operation that was seen as mysterious and methodical by some, maddening and manipulative by others. But there was one significant difference this time around: he worked out…While the session remained secret at the request of his representatives, he told The Bee it was a necessary exercise that hardly showcased his game. 'It's difficult to show them what I have to do on the court, because there are no teammates and nobody there,' Rubio said at the Sacramento airport just before leaving town. 'I can't show them what I do on the court. This workout is not my style. I need my teammates around me to play basketball. I was alone.'"
Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm on Rubio and the Grizz: "Rubio has the potential to be a game-changer (so to speak) for certain teams. New York. Minnesota. Even the Clippers though Dunleavy will give up Griffin over his cold, dead body. Or if you offer a bloated contract with little to no value, apparently, since that's been all their other moves. Rubio could be a true facillitator for the Wizards, a franchise player for the Kings, the next evolution for the Warriors, or the Nash Toronto wants but can't have. But to Memphis? He's a pain the ass that may decide to play chicken with them; a player that won't sell as many tickets as other players can (we've seen the way Memphis gets attached to awkward looking Spanish dudes), doesn't provide them an inside scorer, makes their investment in Mike Conley seem completely vapid, and generally is a terrible fit."
The Clippers aren't budging: "The Clippers remain intent on keeping the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, and they're expected to make Oklahoma's Blake Griffin the top selection. "The pick's not going anywhere," assistant general manager Neil Olshey said yesterday. Coach and general manager Mike Dunleavy said he hasn't spoken to anyone seriously about trading the pick in more than two weeks. He and Olshey haven't ruled out the possibility of acquiring another pick on or before Thursday's draft."
The Thunder will work out five players today: "Thunder just announced a five-player workout for today that includes Arizona's Chase Budinger, Memphis' Antonio Anderson, Temple's Dionte Christmas, LSU's Garrett Temple and Villanova's Dwyane Anderson. It's the second workout for Christmas, which is interesting because the Thunder doesn't currently have a second-round pick and the No. 25 is considered way too high to draft him. I did have Christmas as a potential sleeper, though. Maybe the Thunder would like to trade into the second round and grab him, or even do a post-draft trade similar to the Kyle Weaver acquisition and bring him in."
The Baseline's mock: "Oklahoma City Thunder: Hasheem Thabeet. If things worked out so Thabeet slipped to No. 3 and the Thunder weren't moving up to No. 2 to get Rubio, he'd be a great pickup, giving them a much needed interior presence."
Empty the Bench looks at players that will be better than expected and players that will be worse. Worse – Hasheem Thabeet: "For someone who is so big (7-3, 265) and has such good numbers, he sure didn't seem to show up very often versus good teams. Against Pitt, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Georgetown, and Villanova, Thabeet averaged 9.8 points and 5.8 rebounds. Huh? Bring on Buffalo, Seton Hall, Western Carolina, or Chattanooga, though, and it's back to domination. There's no doubt he'll get his blocks at the next level, but Thabeet gets tired too quickly when challenged, disappears for huge chunks of games, and his offensive repertoire makes Dwight Howard look like Hakeem Olajuwon."
Blake Griffin is the NCAA 2010 cover boy: "Yeah, the market out there is great. And I've already been able to partner with a lot of great companies. You know, partnering with EA Sports and being on the cover of NCAA 10 is very exciting. And to be on the list of guys who have been on the cover before me is exciting. And I definitely think LA will help with that and the marketing standpoint."
FanHouse previews the draft for teams in the Northwest Division: "There are some who believe the Thunder are onto something big here, with three-fifths of their starting lineup in place for the foreseeable future: Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green. All that leaves is center and shooting guard, and since shooting guard is considered one of the easier positions to fill, there's a lot to like about Hasheem Thabeet here."
Draft Express does the same: "The Thunder's most significant need lies in the post, where the previous regime drafted unsuccessfully in the past. They are due for an upgrade at either the power forward or center positions. With the third pick in the draft, they can take their pick of this year's top, draft-eligible big men, particularly a more defensively oriented player. They may opt to shore up their backcourt somewhat, though, adding another playmaker and perimeter shooter who is willing to play unselfishly within the team's existing pieces. With their late first round pick, they can find another solid player to bring off of their bench and deepen their frontcourt rotation."
UPDATE: Chad Ford reports a major trade happening with Richard Jefferson going to San Antonio for Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto and Kurt Thomas.

Though elevation maps have not been finalized by FEMA, Gov. Chris Christie told residents Tuesday that the government will provide grants for repairs and raising homes.
"We'll give you a grant to elevate your home. Even if your home hasn't been damaged, we'll give you a grant for a substantial amount of the cost to do that elevation," Christie told a packed house at a Lavallette firehouse, according to The Asbury Park Press. "It doesn't mean we won't continue to push FEMA for relief from the flood maps, but if you wait 18 to 24 months to rebuild, no one will come back to the Jersey Shore."
The $1.8 billion that was received from block grant money from the federal government will be used towards these repairs, Christie said. This includes two programs for homes and businesses, which will start by the end of March or early April. The programs include home elevation, making up the difference in cost from aid or insurance money, and helping businesses reopen.
The application process has not been set up yet, but will be advertised when it's finalized, officials said.
Christie told homeowners at the event not to wait until the FEMA flood maps are issued, because regardless of the final map requirements, homeowners will see savings in flood insurance premiums.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday that it will explore ways to spot "rogue" drone operations that might collide with planes around airports.
The agency said it has launched an initial research program to evaluate drone detection technology at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
"We face many difficult challenges as we integrate rapidly evolving [drone] technology into our complex and highly regulated airspace," said Marke Gibson, FAA senior adviser on UAS Integration. "This effort at JFK reflects everyone's commitment to safety."

WASHINGTON (Oct. 5)
State Department officials offered guarded confirmation today of reports that the US was discussing security safeguards with Israel should an interim agreement with Egypt to reopen the Suez Canal break down. But an Israeli Embassy official denied that any such assurances were under discussion. The State Department officials emphasized that the discussions were "preliminary" and "exploratory." They explicitly ruled out any implication that the US would join Israel in concerted military action in the event an interim agreement broke down.
The Israeli spokesman said the Embassy was not aware of any additional assurances being given Israel by the US. The whole issue of assurances was not even mentioned in the discussions in New York yesterday between Foreign Minister Abba Eban and Secretary of State William P. Rogers, the spokesman said. The State Department officials refused to confirm but did not flatly deny a New York Times report today that the security assurances being discussed would make the US the "main guarantor" of a Suez agreement. Neither did they deny outright that a written commitment between Washington and Jerusalem, such as an exchange of letters, was contemplated.
In a related development, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Joseph J. Sisco said flatly on a CBS interview today that American troops would not be sent to the Middle East. He made the statement after reporters asked him if the US would be "ready to provide troops to protect Israel against any violation in the Middle East." Sisco replied, "This is not involved," adding that Rogers had indicated as much in his address yesterday to the General Assembly. Sisco said that "obviously" further discussion is required on "the nature of supervisory arrangements which help to assure that any interim agreement would in fact be kept." Pressed on whether an American military presence was contemplated, Sisco said, "We are looking to other means." He did not amplify that statement.

Game One Not Really Recap
Sam asked if I wanted to write a recap of Game One of the World Series and said I could edit and post it myself, too. As I sit here at work, having not seen the game and having only marginally followed along via Twitter, I agreed. Here is what happened in and around and vaguely at the same time as this game of baseball that was played between the Giants and one of the American League teams that isn't the A's:

As much as we love our Clarks Desert Boot, we also tend to appreciate a little slimmer silhouette for certain occasions. Dior Homme has released a beautiful Chukka Boot for Spring/Summer 2010. It comes in an ivory colorway and features a subtle zipper on the heel for more comfort. While we have seen a clear trend towards extremely thin leather soles in casual footwear in recent seasons, we appreciate that Dior went for a mid-size sole. It's just more comfortable! The boot is now in stock at Barneys and will be a perfect companion for the season and pretty much every occasion.
More views of the boot follow after the jump.

Here is a good "Have A Nice Fall" stunt location (works in the endgame)
You're browsing the GameFAQs Message Boards as a guest. Sign Up for free (or Log In if you already have an account) to be able to post messages, change how messages are displayed, and view media in posts.
Start by going up to Zeke's place. This will become your new respawn point.
Hop down onto the tracks just north of Zeke's building and head east on the rails. Right up ahead is a train station. Head down to the water just past the station. There is a broken dock in the water here with a blast shard way out on the furthest pillar. You can grab the shard at this point if you don't already have it.
All you need to do is to jump out onto the first pillar of the broken dock to trigger the upcoming Reaper spawn. Just glide out to the first pillar, then turn around and glide back onto land. You'll notice that when you turn around to face land again, a ton of people coming running up to meet Cole (if your Karma is Hero).
Head up the stairs to the train station up in front of you. As you run up those stairs, five Reapers spawn on the platforms in the train station. There will always be two on one side and three on the other, and which side gets three is random.
Get yourself over to the side with the three Reapers and kill the two on the other side to keep them from shooting at you. If you have the shield, now is a good time to use it. You can somewhat position the Reapers by moving towards or away from them. Get them into either stairwell, as this is your key choke point to hit all three with a Shockwave blast.
It's probably easiest to head down one of the stairways towards the street and wait near the bottom. The three Reapers will join you on the stairs and run back and forth while shooting at you. Keep your shield up and wait for all three to stand in the same position. Since you can't always see all three at once, just watch for the three red marks on your mini-map to clump up. Once that happens, immediately run up to them and use Shockwave. If you can keep your view pointed slighting upwards, this increases your odds.
If it went well, you will get the Have A Nice Fall stunt. If you failed, just jump into the water and you'll immediately respawn at Zeke's. Hop down to the tracks and head back to the train station and try again.
It took me about five tries to get it done. Oddly enough, the time in which it counted the stunt, all three Reapers just landed on the track behind them and one of them even survived. I still got the stunt, so no complaints here.

Good trick. I also had one reaper throw a grenade at me, so I also am trying to the "Right Back At Ya" stunt. ;)

I actually got a "Right Back At Ya (x2)" while trying for "Have A Nice Fall" here. Unfortunately, I had already taken 25 minutes to get that stunt elsewhere the day before. :)
TheTriangleMan 8 years ago#5
Ok after about an hour I got this to work. Seems like if there's a train then they won't spawn. After there were no trains coming I hopped down, ran down the sidewalk a few paces then went up the stairs and they would spawn. Worked for me when I killed the 2 guys, herded the others onto the stairs at the top, then hopped onto the train tracks and then pushed them off. I was using the third upgrade of the Shockwave BTW.
Awesome tip dude, awesome tip. This is also good for unlocking the "Get Off My Cloud" trophy.
"Money is like toilet paper, there's no problem until you run out."
Awesome tip dude, awesome tip. This is also good for unlocking the "Get Off My Cloud" trophy.
Thanks. I also got my "Get Off My Cloud" trophy here, though it happened on my second attempt at the "Have A Nice Fall" stunt, so I was already pretty close to getting it anyway. :)
I found the train timing to always be the same as long as my timing was the same. When respawning at Zeke's, I immediately hop down to the tracks and grind over to the station, no trains come through. I glide down to the edge of the water and hop over the railings, then glide out to the first pillar of the broken dock. I turn around and all the people are gathering at the edge, waiting for me. I glide back to them and jump my way back up to the street and run up the east-side stairs. The Reapers spawn as I approach the first landing on my way up the stairway. About 10 or 15 seconds after I get up to the train station and start dealing with them, a train goes by heading north/west.

Any "Dark Water" side mission is good for this, too. As the mission calls for you seeking out a water tower, which are obviously located on the roof of buildings, and are typically guarded by 3-5 enemies.
If you sneak up the opposite side of the building that they're on, you can sometimes get the jump on them as they won't notice your presence.

Any "Dark Water" side mission is good for this, too.
This is true. However, most of these missions come very early in the game. If you completed them and failed to get the stunt before that point (like me), there is unfortunately no way to do these missions again. It would have saved a lot of time to just do the stunts before leaving Neon, but I didn't realize how difficult it would be if I waited until later.
Why can i not seem to find zekes place lol i thought it was on the map i went to every red dot on my map nothing ???
There is no red dot. Zeke's building is along the north end of Neon, near the center. It looks different from the other buildings (chain link fences around the top), so you can usually see it from far away. Just ride the rails along the north until you see it.

Watch for journos trained in CPR and first-aid
I have never saved a life and hope that I never have to kneel on someone's chest at the airport and start punching it like crazy.
If someone at the next table in a fancy restaurant suddenly started choking on the sardines on toast, I wouldn't know what to do except get up and start thumping him on his back. That is what I have been taught — if you see someone choking, hit him hard on the back, as most probably the pain will make him forget about choking.
The reason why I am writing about saving lives is that a friend at a hospital has agreed to give me (and a bunch of my colleagues) free training in first-aid and CPR — cardiopulmonary resuscitation is said to be a life-saving technique useful in many emergencies.
When I asked my colleagues if they were interested, I was surprised to see many really eager to join in. Somehow, I was under the impression that journos are usually the last people on earth anybody would except to be seeing saving someone.
If we see someone in trouble, most of us would rather whip out our smartphones and shoot off an SMS to the editor on duty that one would be ready to start blogging in the next five minutes about this guy lying in the middle of the street. We would also be adjusting the light settings on the camera to get that perfect shot of this person lying there, trying to tell us something.
Like I said, I have never done anything useful for anybody else in my life, except maybe one time when I helped an old lady cross a busy street and it had seemed like time had stopped.
It was a busy street in a town in India and pedestrians were usually invisible to motorists and in that chaos, I saw this gentle lady hesitant to step off the footpath (pavement) on to the street. I went up to her and held her by the elbow and we started shuffling down the street. Only then did I realise that it was a very, very foolish thing to do.
As they say, my life flashed before my eyes as we walked through the line of honking cars and swearing cyclists, but somehow we reached the other side. That put me off for ever about doing anything for anyone.
For some reason, Hollywood movies mock the idea of giving first-aid or CPR to someone in distress. The scene either shows someone breathing into someone's mouth and making a face, or someone banging on the chest and shouting: "Breathe, please breathe. Don't leave me now." Or suddenly plunging a long hypodermic needle right into the heart, making the victim sit upright with a gasp.
My friend at the hospital said the course is for four hours and it will be on a Friday, starting real early. He said that we would have to work on dummies to stimulate real-life emergencies and that we would then be given cards that would show we were fully trained as first-aid givers.
That should be interesting as the only thing I know about saving lives and first-aid is what I have learned from my wife. Whenever I go on a trip, she goes into the walk-in closet and pulls out a small see-through plastic bag with a floral design and stuffs it with life-saving things.
She pulls out the life-savers from a stuffed drawer which looks like someone had been pinching things from a hospital pharmacy for years.
"This is for headaches," she says. "This is for a loose tummy after you eat greasy food. Take these homeopathic pills every five seconds if you feel nauseous and dizzy. And this is the photocopy of your health insurance card."

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [SL] Aug. 31, 2007 TPWD Launches Shotgun Sports in Schools Pilot Program AUSTIN, Texas --The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department announced it is this fall piloting a target shooting program similar to its popular Archery in Schools initiative. The Clay Sports in Schools pilot, designed to introduce 6th through 12th grade level youth to competitive shotgun clay target shooting, will be offered in selected schools throughout the state, beginning with the Wildlife Management and Recreation curriculum in high schools. "I have no doubts there are some potential international clay target shooters sitting in our classrooms and a program such as this could be the key to discovering those gifted athletes," said Steve Hall, TPWD education director. "The thing about competitive clay sports is you don't have to be the strongest or the fastest athlete to be successful, which means it's more accessible to more kids." Hall points to the department's Archery in Schools program, where in less than two years more than 300 physical education teachers have received training in archery target shooting and more than 400 students have competed at two statewide competitions. "Texas has a strong dove and quail hunting heritage," said Hall. "Clay target games simulate the flight of these popular game birds, so a program like this is a natural fit." Similar programs are growing in popularity in other states, such as Tennessee, where participants are receiving extra-curricular recognition lettering in clay target sports. Some students are advancing toward national and international competition, with an eye toward college scholarships in clay target sports and a possible berth on the U.S.A. Shooting Team. Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioner John Parker of Lufkin learned of the Tennessee program about a year ago and believes the concept will be successful in Texas, too. "I think the potential is there," he said. "We have a dedicated group of folks working together to make it happen and I support the effort enthusiastically." The Texas Clay Sports in Schools pilot will focus initially on professional educators who already teach hunter education in schools, specifically in the high school agriculture science curricula. TPWD's Charlie Wilson, who introduces newcomers to clay sports through the department's mobile five-stand sporting clays system, came up with the idea for the pilot and received approval from the Texas Agriculture Science administration to implement the trial program at their annual conference this past July. Pilot schools will be tasked with putting together teams or clubs interested in shooting trap, skeet and/or sporting clays. During the current school year, participants will focus on developing trapshooting skills. TPWD will be looking to expand shooting range facilities that accommodate the school teams, offering incentives to those ranges that provide access to these young shooters through its federal grants program. At its Aug. 23 public hearing the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission awarded three shooting range grants to facilities that are compatible with youth clay sports recruitment. In addition to the Clay Sports in Schools pilot, TPWD will continue to support existing youth clay target programs, the Texas Cooperative Extension's 4-H Shooting Sports program, the largest program of its kind in the nation, and National Shooting Sports Foundation Scholastic Clays Program, which already has a successful chapter in Texas. Looking ahead, TPWD is also planning to launch in 2008 an introductory program to youth clay sports, called Junior Clays. This initiative is a similar after-school program, whereby youth that are relatively new to shotgun sports can enter "hunter class" competitions already held at many of the ranges throughout Texas and sponsored by various state and national shooting sports organizations. The effort will stress opportunities for families new to shooting to come to ranges to enjoy the shotgun sports. Wilson, who currently reaches 6,000 shooters annually with the mobile sporting clays range operation, has been tasked to initiate the two new programs, with the assistance of regional and statewide hunter education staff and volunteers. For more information about these programs, contact TPWD's hunter education staff at (512) 389-4999 or toll free at (800) 792-1112; ext. 4999. -30- [ Note: This item is more than 10 years old.

Would you like to be a cowboy or cowgirl? On Oct. 4-6, Big Bend Ranch State park invites guests to participate in the park's fall cattle drive and roundup. Weekend wranglers will have a chance to see cattle in the ranch's rugged and remote cattle pastures, learn how the herd is moved with horses and drive the park's historic Texas Longhorn Herd to stock pens at the ranch headquarters. Participants can take part in branding and vaccinating calves, recording lineages and experiencing the traditions of the Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American cowboy culture. The longhorn cattle drive program is Big Bend Ranch State Park's most popular event, allowing up to 25 visitors to participate and experience a part of the state's Western heritage. The three-day event allows one to experience life as a cowboy and gain a lifetime of memories. Guests have come from as far away as New York, Australia, Canada and England. "If you're looking for a genuine taste of the wild, western range life, the Big Bend Ranch cattle drive is about as real as it gets," Colorado travel writer Christine Loomis said of her recent cattle drive experience in the vast and beautiful high country of the Chihuahuan Desert. Cowhands end their days with a chuck wagon meal served on range, listening to cowboy music and poetry to make the outing an authentic and memorable experience. Participants can choose to sleep on the range or return to the ranch bunkhouse for the night. The cost of the three-day event is $975, which includes horse and tack, park entry fee, lodging/camping fees, meals and the assistance of park wrangler guides. Big Bend Ranch is located northeast of Presidio off Texas Highway 170. To find out more or to reserve a spot on the cattle drive, call Big Bend Ranch State Park at (432) 229-3416 or the Sauceda Ranch Headquarters at (432) 358-4444. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/findadest/parks/big_bend_ranch/ -30- [ Note: This item is more than 10 years old.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission April 5 approved lowering both the bag and possession limits for spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre from 10 to 5. The reduction in the limits addresses a downward trend in the spawning stock biomass of spotted seatrout in the Lower Laguna Madre -- a trend that runs counter to steadily increasing populations elsewhere on the coast. Of particular concern to TPWD biologists is that spotted seatrout spawning stock biomass currently is about half what it was at the time of the 1983-1984 freeze, which resulted in a major kill of spotted seatrout and other species along the lower coast. A greater number of reproducing fish can help stocks recover faster after such a catastrophic event. The new regulation applies to the entire Lower Laguna Madre, from Marker 21 in the Landcut, to South Bay and including the Brownsville Ship Channel and Arroyo Colorado. The new regulation applies to "inside waters," waters landward from the shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf beaches are not included in the area, but any boats fishing in Gulf waters and landing their catches within the boundaries are subject to the lower bag limits. The 80th Texas Legislature also passed a bill requiring anyone landing fish caught in the Gulf of Mexico in Texas to possess a valid Texas saltwater fishing license and saltwater stamp endorsement. The bill, introduced as H.B. 3765, was rolled into H.B. 12 and signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry June 15. Previously, anglers fishing in federal waters -- often on "party" or "head" boats, but on private boats as well -- were not required to have a Texas fishing license. Anglers exempt from the requirement to hold fishing license and saltwater stamp endorsement (for instance, anglers under the age of 17 or those born before Sept. 1, 1930) also are exempt from the new law. Also, beginning Sept. 1, anglers are reminded that: --The minimum length limit for sheepshead has increased from 12 inches to 13 inches, and will continue to increase in one-inch per year increments until the minimum length for possession is 15 inches. --The minimum length limit for tarpon now is 85 inches. --Circle hooks are required when fishing for red snapper in state waters. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/annual/ -30- [ Note: This item is more than 10 years old.

(REI) stores in Texas will sponsor projects at three Texas State Parks--Cedar Hill State Park south of Dallas, McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, and Huntsville State Park north of Houston. National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy. Last year nearly 100,000 volunteers built trails and bridges, planted trees and plants, and removed trash and invasive plants. REI is seeking volunteers to join this effort. In Austin, in partnership with the Friends of McKinney Falls State Park, REI Austin Downtown and REI Austin Gateway stores will host a National Public Lands Day workday at McKinney Falls State Park. Planned projects include: constructing cedar and granite tent pads and a kid's trash clean up. REI Austin stores will recognize local non-profit groups that received REI grants this year during a brief ceremony at 11:45am. In Dallas, REI Dallas, REI Plano, the Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association, the Friends of Cedar Hill State Park, and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will sponsor a volunteer workday at Cedar Hill State Park. Planned projects include: painting a historical barn and trail maintenance on the hike and bike trails. This service project offers suitable volunteer activities for all ages. Cedar Hill State Park is located 10 miles southwest of Dallas in Cedar Hill, Texas. In Houston, volunteers are invited to join REI Houston Galleria and REI Houston Willowbrook along with Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association (GHORBA), the Texas Master Naturalists, and the Friends of Huntsville State Park for a day of trail re-routing and a shoreline cleanup at Huntsville State Park. Order of the Arrow Scouts will supervise a boardwalk building project, and invite other scout groups to assist in construction. Huntsville State Park is located about fifty miles north of Houston off Interstate Highway 45. The above service projects are free and open to the public.

Winglet Technology reports "significant progress" toward FAA certification of its Cessna Citation X elliptical winglet modification. Announced at NBAA'07 in Atlanta, the program has moved through full-scale wing static test to installation of the modification kit and production winglets on Cessna's test aircraft.
Winglet Technology is at Booth No. 4019 describing the performance enhancements the modification brings to the Citation X, including a 4- to 5-percent reduction in fuel burn on long-range missions and an increase in maximum range of 150 nm. Citation X cruise speed at FL410 and above will be up to 15 knots greater.
The winglets make it possible for the aircraft to climb directly to FL450 at max takeoff weight without the step-climb required of non-winglet-equipped Citation Xs. Along with time to climb to FL430 reduced from 26 to 22 minutes, the elliptical winglet mod allows an increase of up to 1,200 pounds in takeoff weight in hot/high departure conditions.
Static test of the winglet is under way and is expected to be completed this month along with remaining electrical system and exterior lighting flight testing. The Wichita designer of elliptical winglets for business jets and transport category aircraft said it expects receipt of an FAA STC next June.
